"Crazy, crazy, all crazy, really all crazy!"
On January 5th, early the morning after the Jazz defeated the Heat at home, Lin Han returned to the team's training hall as usual, he played very well in yesterday's game, and in recent times since he had a very good defensive skills, the Jazz's rookie is also becoming more and more obsessed with using his own defense to make the opponent uncomfortable, especially in the game with the Trail Blazers, Lin Han, who was still blown up by Drexler on the defensive end, hopes to re-establish his confidence in defensive skills again.
Yesterday's game can be said to be a hard lesson, although he has not yet entered the All-Star, but he is already a quasi-All-Star level outside player Glen Les, so when Lin Han came to the team this morning, it was very cool.
Of course, there are other players of the Jazz who are as cool as Lin Han, because after defeating the Heat, this team officially stepped into the position of 30 consecutive wins, although 29 consecutive wins and 30 consecutive wins are only one win, but the difference is extremely huge, which is almost recognized by everyone, because 30 wins, there was only one in the league before, and 20 consecutive wins, the Rockets and Bucks have done it before, so when the Jazz climbed to the position of 30 consecutive wins, The Jazz's group of players has once again deepened their confidence in whether they can reach the height of the Lakers back then.
Just, in the morning training session. While Lin Han and the Jazz players were training as usual, Scott Rayden, as the team's general manager, entered the team's training gym like a madman and yelled.
This also made Lin Han extremely surprised. In Lin Han's impression, the general manager of his own team would never do such a thing, what is this guy doing? What's crazy? Is the owner of the team crazy or is someone else crazy?
Looking at the general manager who ran into the team's training hall out of breath, Lin Han thought a little speechlessly.
It's just that when the general manager of this jazz finished speaking, not to mention Lin Han, even all the people in the other training halls had the same expression as this general manager of the jazz!
After the Utah Jazz defeated the Miami Heat at home, the team is on a terrifying 30-game winning streak. When the game ended, there was an uproar in almost the United States.
Although in the NBA, there are more than 8o games in the regular season in a season. It's very, very easy for a team to win 30 games in more than 8o games, but winning 30 games in a row is not an easy thing.
At least, in the last forty years of the NBA's history. The only team that can reach more than 30 consecutive wins is Oxlade-Chamberlain. The Lakers led by Jerry West and Pat Riley, and now, the Utah Jazz have joined such a camp!
"An incredible victory, the Utah Jazz now look unstoppable!"
That's the headline on the front page of USA Today's newspaper the day after the Jazz's 30-game winning streak, as the nation's most well-traveled newspaper and the most non-commercial league-focused newspaper, USA Today's main battlefield has always been the NNETBA All-Star Game or the Finals, compared to some of the NCAA's key events for the outlet. are all negligible.
But even such a media outlet, at this time, when the Jazz achieved such a result, even sent out the front page headlines of the newspaper.
In fact, for USA Today, this American mainstream media can only represent the general direction of the American public opinion circle, when the Jazz defeated the Heat, now the entire NBA public opinion and the American public opinion circle are all aimed at the Jazz's 30-game winning streak.
Even when the Jazz and Rockets competed for supremacy not long ago, there was no such terrible situation, although the American media was crazy at that time, but at that time, because many Jordan and Lin Hanmi were crazy fighting each other, Jordan fans brushed up on the All-Star vote The reason for the zài feeling, at that time, even if the competition between the Jazz and the Rockets was still the mainstream, but the mainstream at that time and the mainstream at this time were completely incomparable.
At this time, there are no Jordan fans and Lin Han fans in the American public opinion circles, but the entire NBA is really a theme such as the Jazz's 30-game winning streak.
So, at this time, not to mention USA Today, even the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune or the Washington Post, the front page headlines of the major media in the United States are all about the Jazz's 30-game winning streak.
"While we're still not fancy this team to make it to a final 33-game winning streak, congratulations to them for proving that this team is one of the best teams in NBA history with their performances so far."
This is a report from the New York Times, compared with the crazy praise and praise of Team USA Today's Jazz and Lin Han, this media that has been not dealing with Lin Han or Jazz so much in recent times, has not made any provocations against Jazz and Lin Han at this time.
As for what they said they are still not optimistic that the Jazz can match or break the Lakers' record, this is the mainstream view of NBA experts at present, and it is not very unconventional or have an opinion on the Jazz.
Although the Jazz's current 30-game winning streak is a bit scary, in fact, the future of this team is not so promising, and many people think that this team will end at 31 wins at most, and at most 32 consecutive wins, beating the Bucks on the road trip to the East and then beating the Cavaliers.
Next, facing the Suns, who are in good form and have excellent results in recent times, it will be difficult for this Jazz to win, after all, the schedule and home and away factors, as well as the feud between Lynham and Barkley and the overall strength of the Suns, they are not optimistic that the Jazz can beat the Suns on the road. If there is no way to beat the Suns, it will naturally be impossible to tie the Lakers' 33-game winning streak, and if the Jazz really cross the Suns in the end, it will be basically useless to play back-to-back again in the next game.
The Jazz want to keep winning for the rest of the game. It's almost impossible.
Therefore, this is also the mainstream view of most now, but even if you know that the Jazz may not really be able to achieve the Lakers' record of three consecutive wins in the Chinese New Year's Eve, but being able to push the record to thirty consecutive wins is terrifying enough, isn't it?
So, it was supposed to be this time. The media across the country is frantically stomping on the Trail Blazers, Stomping Adelman and Stomping on Drexler, and now. Because of such a thing as Jazz, whether it is Adelman or Drexler or the Trail Blazers, they have been forgotten by this group of reporters.
Now that the Jazz have won 30 in a row, the American media is full of praise. But there are also several factions. One faction is the full support of USA Today, and the other faction is the New York Times, which is exaggerated but somewhat sour.
This is also inevitable, but compared with the differences in the national media, at this time, Jazz fans, there is really no other faction, almost crazy on the second day of the game!
At the same time, the plaza outside the Delta Center, Utah's home state, is also completely surrounded
"This, this. Are these guys really all our fans?! ”
When Lynham and the Jazz players leave the team's training hall. When he came to the street outside, looking at all the streets around him almost full of dense crowds with various slogans, Lin Han was almost shocked at this time, and he couldn't even speak.
As someone who grew up in this city, Lin Han knows very well what kind of city Salt Lake City is, there are not many people in this city, because the whole of Utah is a religious state, so the culture here is also very special.
The people here are sometimes very religious, but at the same time, the people here are also religiously indifferent, so Jazz fans are a very special group.
These people really don't like their opponents, but in the same way, they may not devote all their love to their teams and players, Delta Center has always been the home of the NBA's devils, but this devil's home court is not necessarily for the away team, sometimes it is also for the home team.
At the beginning, after the Jazz failed in the regular season and the playoffs last season, even the two leading Jazz players, Stockton and Malone, went out with Alexander.
So, for the Jazz players, the fans in Salt Lake City are very demanding, really very demanding, this group of fans, it is almost impossible to conquer them, to make them pay a qiē for the team!
And if they want to get them all on the streets, everyone has signs in their hands to surround the team's training hall and the team's stadium, they won't do it, it's against their religious customs.
Even if the Jazz can win the NBA championship, they may not be able to let go of the shackles in their hearts to support this team.
And now, these guys have actually done just that!
It's incredible!
"I've been with this team for 10 years and this is the first time I've seen anything like it"
At this time, Lin Han was already stunned by the crazy Jazz fans, and the same was true of Stockton next to him, such as Malone, or other Jazz players, and even the head coach of this team, Jerry Sloan, was a little stunned at this time.
This kind of impossible thing was actually born in front of me like this.
And when Lin Han woke up from this state of obscurity, looking at the almost uniform signs in the hands of these Jazz fans, Lin Han even felt that he was really infected by these people.
The sign these Jazz fans are holding in their hands is simple, just one sentence, a few words, return victorious.
So, when they saw this, it quickly became clear to Lin Han and the other Jazz players why this group of Jazz fans came to the team's training hall to besiege the team at this time before the Jazz team embarked on their Eastern Conference trip and road trip.
Obviously, this is influenced by today's national public opinion, which praised the team's incredible results after the Jazz won 30 consecutive victories. It is also calling on almost all of the remaining Jazz opponents to pull and stop this team.
Of course, even if these American media don't do this, the Jazz's next opponents will do the same. After all, no one wants their team to be the backstop for the Jazz to make history, and in this case, even the Jazz may not have an easy time facing a team like the Bucks. As for the Cavaliers and the Suns and the sound of the big teams, not to mention.
And it is even more regrettable for Jazz fans that the Jazz will all be playing away from home for the next period of time, even if it is a record game against the Sun or a record game, it is all an away game. This is nothing short of torment for this group of Jazz fans.
This season they didn't expect the team that disappointed them so much last season to play like this, a result that they all had to fully support, and it came to the most crucial moment. Now, they can't really get the opportunity to witness this achievement on the spot.
It's definitely something that can drive them crazy, and with that added to the public opinion across the United States this morning, it's fair to say. Jazz fans. It's really crazy at this time.
Their request is simple, return victorious!
Then let them welcome them back like heroes, and only if the Jazz can return victoriously, they will be able to witness this history with the team, which may be once in a lifetime!
"What a huge and difficult task."
At this time, in addition to being moved by these fans, the Jazz may be under pressure.
When the Jazz embarked on their road trip, they hit the road with the anticipation of hundreds of thousands of Utah fans, and at this time. The NBA, which had already been in turmoil by the Utah Jazz's winning streak, was suddenly blown up by a very heavy piece of news.
Just as Lynham and Jazz were on their way, Adidas announced that it had signed a partnership with the league's hottest rookie right now. The two sides jointly created a new sports brand, just like the cooperation between Nike and Jordan, and Adidas also announced a very important news at the press conference, the first pair of signed sneakers they collaborated with Lin Han is ready to go on sale, the time is February 2, and it is now ready to accept pre-orders.
And at the press conference, the president of Adidas also announced the style of this pair of Linhan signature sneakers, and after the style of this pair of sneakers was announced, almost everyone in the United States went crazy when the advertisements for this pair of sneakers appeared in key time periods on major TV stations in the United States!
"This is Lin Han's first signature sneaker, the Miracle Generation? Lin Han is crazy, he actually dares to use this silhouette as a trademark for sneakers?! ”
"Oh my God, Lin Han is just waiting for the fury from New York, right?!"
"This is the Miracle Generation? Is it taken from the meaning of Lynham's miracle moment at the New York Knicks? It seems that the New York Knicks are going to be set at the rhythm of the shame column? Lin Han's approach is really incredible?! ”
"This is an insult, this is an insult to the red fruit! Lin Han is thinking that all New York fans should provoke, and all New Yorkers should boycott these sneakers! ”
Crazy, really crazy, when Lin Han's sneakers were officially advertised, the whole United States was almost crazy, and at this time Lin Han didn't know what the impact of his very provocative sneakers would be, because he was now playing away from home.
And when Lynham and Jazz came to Milwaukee, the whole United States was already arguing at this time.
Especially the New York fans and the New York Knicks are completely crazy at this time!
"This is the ugliest scene in the history of professional sports, Lin Han is using the dirtiest means to gain benefits, he lacks respect for his opponents!"
This is the reaction of the New York Times after Adidas announced this sneaker, there is no doubt, this media that was originally Lin Hei used to always pretend to be a neutral media, but at this time finally tore off all the reserve, and fired directly like Lin Han.
"I don't know if he meant it or not, but I want to say that I don't like the sneakers, even though they look pretty good."
That's what Knicks head coach Pat Riley said in an interview, and Lynham is arguably one of the most humiliating opponents in his coaching career, and the rookie's two humiliations against his team this season are among the top 10 worst in Knicks history.
There's no doubt that no one in the New York Knicks will like Lynch. Even if there are no provocative sneakers.
"I don't know why Adidas did this, I'm going to think about talking to Adidas about the contract between us now, they're hurting the feelings of the New York fans by doing so."
This is what Ewing the Gorilla, the leading player of the New York Knicks, said in an interview. He is a signed player of Adidas, when Nike almost monopolized the NBA's outside player resources, Gorilla Ewing can almost be regarded as Adidas's top brand, Adidas defeated Nike in major cities in the United States, only in New York, the sports brand relied on Ewing's influence, and stood firm.
On some kind of Cheng dù. Adidas's approach really raised Lin Han's position too high, and he didn't care about Ewing's feelings at all, which made the inside lineman who was made miserable by Lin Han almost feel a sense of betrayal.
"I said it. Don't let me meet Lin Han when I meet Jazz in the future, if there is such a day, I will see him and beat him once! ”
That's what Oakley, a gangster member of the New York Knicks, had to say, and the fiery forward seemed completely enraged.
Of course. This time. Lin Han and Adidas's approach is indeed extremely embarrassing for the Knicks, if Lin Han is a player without a reputation, even if he uses a fruit photo of Gorilla Ewing on his sneakers, New York will not be so excited.
But what kind of player is Linham? The rookie's first season showed the potential of the king of the ball, what is the potential of the king of the ball? The potential of the king of the ball is that he is almost invincible as soon as he enters the NBA, and everyone will think that his future is the king of the NBA, just like Jordan before him, Larry Bird. Like Magic and others, these players don't have a complicated growth period. They may have setbacks, but these setbacks are just condiments, and once they enter the NBA, they are half the battle, and that's what they are talking about.
And no one dares to assert what the future of Lin Han will be, but this guy is definitely a scoring guard with the potential of the king of the ball, a scoring guard with such potential and his current high popularity, if such a player makes the label of his signature sneakers like this, if in the end this brand is the same as the Jordan brand, the New York Knicks are really nailed to the pillar of shame.
Decades later, even if all of their players are no longer in the NBA, when those who bought Lin Han's miracle X generation sneakers see this label, they will say to the people around them that this is Lin Han's masterpiece when facing the Knicks, do you want to let them live?!
Therefore, there are almost no surprises, this group of Knicks players almost immediately called on fans in New York to boycott Lin Han's shoes, and even the Knicks' management has said that they have sued their claims to the NBA and are ready to let the league arbitrate and not allow Lin Han to wear these shoes on the court.
Of course, at this time, the New York Knicks were mad at Lin Han and Adidas from top to bottom, and this was originally a matter between the Knicks and Lin Han, but this matter is bigger, but it may not be a matter between Lin Han and the Knicks.
Not long ago, many media who failed to design Lin Han saw the opportunity to 'black' Lin Han again!
And it's a very good opportunity!
"I don't know why Lin Han did this, I think many people don't know why, with his current influence, even if his brand is called Miracle, he doesn't need to use the killer ball at the miracle moment, it's really a bit stupid, I think maybe this is the reason why he is going to go well in the NBA and hasn't encountered any setbacks"
And, even more unacceptable, he dared to price the sneakers at $12o? I really can't believe why he dared to do this, did he really think he was Jordan? Or is he convinced that there really are so many fans who will pay for his sneakers? ”
"Let's not talk about his skills and character, just in terms of IQ, he is very worrying, I think what he needs most now is a professional agent to take care of him, he is now on the road to ruining himself"
"I'm now willing to bet with him that if the sales of his sneakers can exceed 50 million, I will buy 10,000 pairs of Lin Han's sneakers to give to those poor black families!"
This is what Jordan's agent Falke said in an interview, since Lin Han rejected his economic contract, this Jordan's agent has always looked at Lin Han not very pleasing to the eye, when the media was crazy about attacking Lin Han, he may not have participated in it considering what happened to Jordan back then.
But when he was interviewed, he always had some strange things about Lin Han, and the biggest feature was that he liked to say that Lin Han's IQ was insufficient, as if Lin Han signed a contract with him like McDaniel, and then he was sold by him, and he helped him count the money, even if he had a good IQ.
At this time, Jordan's agent stood up and ran to bombard Lin Han, if it was in the past, maybe there would not be much movement, but at this time, the movement was really, really big.
Not to mention that Jordan's agent asserted that the sales of Lin Han's sneakers could not exceed 5ooo million, but after saying 50 million, his bet was extremely fierce, 10,000 pairs of Lin Han's signature sneakers were 12o thousand, which is a huge number, even if it was Falke, although he was very rich, it was extremely painful to have so much blood at once.
But in order to make a big noise, this guy is really fighting, and his bet is not nonsense, in the NBA now, the only player who can sell more than 50 million sneakers is Jordan, and no one else has this ability, because according to a pair of shoes for 12o dollars, 50 million needs to sell 4o pairs.
What is the concept of 400,000 pairs of sneakers? For example, the sales of European football jerseys that Adidas is best at, such as Rivaldo, Robert Baggio and others, their genuine jersey sales can exceed 500,000, which is already very powerful, and the price of football genuine jerseys can be compared with basketball signature shoes.
Why does the United States now say that Jordan is the first person in professional sports and even in the world sports world, the influence of NBA and basketball is far less than that of football, is because the sales of each pair of Jordan's shoes are almost more than one million, and there is only this one in the entire world sports world!
Why did Lin Han dare to set the price of his sneakers at the same price as Jordan? Just with his current popularity and strength? Is he worthy?
At least in Falck's opinion, he is not worthy, the Jordan generation was able to sell millions of pairs that year, can Lin Han reach Jordan's results that year? Not even half of it!
Therefore, he was extremely confident in his bet and never thought that he would lose.
And at this time, after Jordan's agent Falke stood up, public opinion in the United States once again blew a whirlwind that Lin Han had been disoriented by money.
And when Lin Han and Sir came to the Bucks and knew the current situation, Lin Han was shocked.
Lin Han was shocked by the storm that his sneakers had caused at this time, and Adidas was already crazy at this time. (To be continued!)
