(Ask for a subscription!) )

"We had a good performance in the last game, the Rockets are a very strong team, so although we beat them in the last game, it doesn't mean that we have the capital to relax, everyone needs to play aggressively like the last game after the game starts!"

"Lin, your responsibility is very heavy in this game, the Rockets will not let Drexler continue to attack with the ball in this game, and his off-ball offense is one of the best in the league, you need to put in more effort on the defensive end, as long as you can completely suppress Drexler like in the last game, then the winner of this game must be us!"

At 7 o'clock in the evening on May 3o, 1994, in the Jazz locker room, it was less than an hour before the second game between the Jazz home and the Rockets, and at this time in the Jazz locker room, head coach Jerry Sloan looked extremely stern, after the last game and the Rockets, the head coach of the Jazz team was indeed praised by the media and fans all over the United States and even the world as he expected, His excellent tactical choices allowed the Jazz, who were originally evenly matched with the Rockets, to easily defeat the Rockets, who were considered the biggest favorites to win the championship. (

And in this game, Jerry Sloan was not arrogant or arrogant because of these praises, but was more cautious, although Jerry Sloan has recently changed his style, the style in the game can be changed, but the original deep-rooted character in the personality is not so easy to change, so the head coach of the Jazz team is still a very cautious person in nature. So now Jerry Sloan is a more contradictory contradiction, and in terms of tactical play, he can try to make himself more aggressive and comprehensive. But he is still very cautious in his character.

And such a contradictory Jerry Sloan may be a better thing for the Jazz.

Of course, in the face of Jerry Sloan's constant emphasis, Lin Han didn't know that this was the first time Jerry Sloan came to remind him today, although Lin Han felt that it was a little unnecessary, but he could also understand Jerry Sloan's mood at this time.

For the Jazz, 2-1 in the first two games and 1-1 in the first two games, those are two completely different situations. If this game continues to be won, then the Jazz will have a big advantage in the way to the promotion, and this is a game that the Rockets cannot afford to lose. It's also a game that the Jazz can't afford to lose!

"Karl, you have to be a little more proactive this time, Olajuwon will be more likely to impact our center forward as long as we press in this game. So you need to pay attention to the timing of the defense. You can't let Robert Holly be too big, and you can't watch Olajuwon hit our center forward like he did in the last game and remain indifferent"

"Alden, don't be afraid of physical contact, don't be afraid of fouls when Olajuwon is aggressive, I need your defense to be more tactful, to let that Rockets guy know that this game is the NBA playoffs, the NBA Western Conference Finals!

Of course. If the Rockets can't find a way to break the Jazz's pressing in this game, then there are two win-loss factors in this game. One is the most important, Jerry Sloan almost said and said the duel between Lin Han and Drexler, Lin Han Jedi can't let Drexler and Olajuwon link, must seal the only outside core of the Rockets, although the internal and external tactics are a very simple tactic, but this tactic is also a very powerful tactic, if the Rockets can play a combination of inside and outside, the Jazz team is likely to kneel directly.

In addition to Lin Han's need to block Drexler, another point is Olajuwon's strong attack, although Olajuwon's strong attack in the last game did not let the Rockets win, but in the second half because of Olajuwon's takeover of the game, the Rockets were ahead of the Jazz at halftime, in this case, although Olajuwon may not be able to hold on to the strong attack for 2o minutes in a game, but who knows if Olajuwon is desperate or used other means in this game, Can you really stay aggressive in a game for a long time?

No one can know this, after all, the Jazz and others predicted that Olajuwon would not be able to attack for 2o minutes now, and that was just a general judgment, and in the NBA, the actual facts are very different from the predictions, not once or twice.

Therefore, for the Jazz, this game is guaranteed to be won, in addition to Lin Han's desire to block Drexler, Olajuwon's offense will definitely not be as easy as the last game.

However, Jerry Sloan also knows that Malone is not a player with excellent defense, so he asked him to help defend Olajuwon while caring about Robert Hawley, which is actually just comforting Polinis, the team's center, just to let him know that the team's head coach has not given up on him, and the team has not forgotten him, and he is not treated as a defeated pawn to be abandoned.

So when Jerry Sloan gave Karl Malone such an order, the rest of the Jazz players were also stunned, although the IQ of the Jazz team is not so high, but everyone has been in the NBA for so long, and sometimes the actual intention of the coach when arranging tactics is actually understood by everyone, so the Jazz players really can't believe that Jerry Sloan has such a caring time.

Even if this game is bound to become an outcast, Polinis, who wants to fight Olajuwon one-on-one, is also a little moved after listening to Jerry Sloan's arrangement at this time, although he also knows that it is impossible for Malone to help him, unless Malone does not cling to Robert Hawley, but has always been by his side, but if Malone really dares to stand like this, Olajuwon's pass is a must in the league, this game is different from the Warriors, the defense of both teams is excellent, and every point is important, There's no way Malone can let go of Robert Hawley and let the Rockets shooter keep getting open shots.

"Coach, don't worry, even if six fouls are sent off, I won't back down half a step!"

Thinking of the next showdown with Olajuwon. Pollinis also prepared for the worst, and after Pollinis finished speaking, Jerry Sloan was also secretly relieved.

When Olajuwon's style of play is biased towards the outside. PJ Brown's defense will be more effective, but he still chose Polynes in this game, which is not the best choice, because Polinis's mentality is better, in the face of a whole game of one-on-one with Olajuwon, Jerry Sloan does not dare to guarantee that PJ Brown will not be directly mentally unbalanced after seeing the help of his teammates, at least, from Polinis's side now. The Jazz player looks really good at mentality.

On the Jazz side, although Jerry Sloan was very dignified when arranging his tactics, it was quite relaxed, after all, the Jazz were the winning side in the last game. And tactically they are the superior side, and in this case, the Jazz do have easy capital.

However, the Rockets' side is different, and the pre-game public opinion and the real situation of the team have made this team look like they are being forced to the end of the road. So before the game started, Tomjanovic was making tactical arrangements. There was something wrong in the whole locker room, although the faces of the Rockets players were full of anger, but there was no confidence on the faces of these players, and the situation of the Rockets at this time was like the expressions of the Rockets players, full of anger and unwillingness to lose to the Jazz of equal strength, but they did not have enough confidence in winning the Jazz.

Especially at this time, Drexler is the best representative of the atmosphere of the whole Rockets team, before the start of the game, the guard who was extremely struggling in the last game was forced by the media to directly subconsciously and angrily say that Lin Han's defense was overrated. Although Drexler regretted it after saying it, he had to say that his anger at Lin Han had reached the extreme. And his uncertainty about whether he can defeat Lin Han has also reached the extreme, and this kind of love is indeed very torturous.

Such an atmosphere made Tomjanovich, who was arranging tactics, sigh softly.

"I don't need to stress too much about the importance of this game, we are the strongest team in the NBA, our goal is the NBA championship, we can't fall at the feet of the Jazz at this time, we need to have a championship heart!"

By the time Tomjanovic said the final words to his players as they walked out of the locker room, the Rockets head coach already sensed that this might be the only thing he could do right now.

The Jazz's home win over the Rockets in the last game was indeed a very uplifting game, so when the players from both sides came out of the players' tunnel, the crazy momentum of the fans on the scene was simply crazy, the deafening boos of the Rockets players when they played, and the crazy shouts of the Jazz players when they played, it can be said that before the game started, the Jazz fans had already entered the state in advance.

"It's a very good home atmosphere, and can that home atmosphere motivate the Jazz to win this game?"

When Larry Bird saw Linham walk out of the tunnel for the third time from the bottom, the tsunami-like cheers from the scene reminded the Celtics legend of the time when the Celtics home fans chanted. beat-1a' scene, although Jazz fans don't seem to have the time-tested confidence of Celtics fans now, these Jazz fans are more cheering for the team with their most primitive feelings, but it has to be said that Jazz fans already have the ability to match a championship team, at least this madness is very appreciated by Larry Bird.

"There are no changes in personnel between the two sides in this game compared to the previous game, the Jazz are the winning side, so there is no need to change, and the Rockets have not changed in this game is a bit surprising, is Tomjanovic very satisfied with the team's performance in the last game?"

When the players on both sides were packing up their equipment and walking on the court to warm up, the players on both sides who were warming up, Collins said with some confusion that in the prediction of many experts, the Rockets will make personnel adjustments, Sam Cassell is likely to replace Maxwell to play, and Drexler is likely to be pushed to the position of small forward, but from the perspective of the Rockets' game, Tom Janovic seems to be more confident that Olajuwon can change the game.

Before they reached a real desperate situation, the Rockets didn't seem ready to establish Cassel as the team's outside core.

"The Rockets really didn't have enough of the need to change lineups in this game. The last game has proven that the Jazz's pressing is actually a disguised release of Olajuwon, for both teams. The most critical point of this game now is that when the Jazz team is playing pressing, which side of the Jazz team's offense or Olajuwon's individual offense will be stronger, according to the general situation, Olajuwon's individual offensive efficiency may be higher, but the Jazz's pressing will be more durable, but the consumption will be greater. So although Tomjanovic has not made a breakthrough in tactics in this game, it is normal to have such a fluke mentality, and maybe the Jazz team's offense will be really bad today."

After Collins said something a little dissatisfied with Tomjanovich. Larry Bird also said with a smile that in the NBA playoffs, a team's coaches, players and even fans have three major delusions. One big delusion is when the game doesn't start. The weak side always thinks that their team can win because of good luck, and another big illusion is that after the game starts, the strong side always thinks that their team can finally fight back, and the last big illusion is that after the game, the strong team will always think that the next game will be able to win back, and the weak team will always think that the next game will be better after losing.

And now Tomjanovic is in the first delusion, maybe the team was lucky today. The Jazz have a terrible hand, and it doesn't have to be that they fail to press in the end!

Of course. At this time, Tomjanovic naturally couldn't know what Larry Bird was thinking, and if he knew, the Rockets coach would definitely jump over and kick Larry Bird a few times.

However, now, Tomjanovic's attention is all on the players of both sides who have stood on the court, when the referee on duty Bavita threw the basketball into the air, Olajuwon once again easily jumped the ball successfully, and the Rockets once again got the first wave of the game, and the game officially began!

After the start of this game, the Jazz players on the court can clearly feel that the Rockets are different, as the team's dribble point guard, Kenny Smith did not go to Drexler in the face of Stockton's pressing, but directly handed the basketball in his hand to Maxwell, who was covered by Russell, the Rockets guard took the ball through the half court with some difficulty, and quickly transferred the ball to the hands of Olajuwon, who was standing there outside the three-point line. And Olajuwon didn't do any fancy dribbling in the face of Polinis's close defense, just two shrugging movements with their backs to Polinis, and they deceived Polinis's center of gravity, and after deceiving Polinis's center of gravity, Olajuwon directly broke through Polinis's with a light back turn, and Olajuwon's sudden addition didn't even give Pollinis a chance to reach out. I could only watch as the center of the Rockets broke through him, then hit under the basket and dunk the ball directly into the basket against Malone who came back to help the defense!

"Is this guy really a center?!"

Seeing that Olajuwon is better at ball control and breakthrough than many small forwards in the league, Lin Han, who is standing next to Drexler, thinks with some complaints, it seems that O'Neal's skills are a little rough among the four centers now, and even O'Neal, when he is an All-Star, can also play crotch dribbling and early change of direction with him, although O'Neal walked alone that time, but the average center didn't even have that kind of walking opportunity. At this time, Lin Han looked at Olajuwon and really understood why Erie said that any of the four centers in any era of the NBA in 1o years is a storage that can become a hegemon, but it is a pity that these four people are actually in an era, and this era is precisely the era of Jordan and the magic bird.

Of course, in the face of Olajuwon's offensive method, the Jazz team had arranged it before the game, knowing that Polinis couldn't stop Olajuwon at all, so Malone picked up Olajuwon and hit the basketball that fell from the basket after he dunked and hit almost didn't give Olajuwon and the Rockets any chance to react, so he threw the basketball in his hand to the frontcourt, and the Jazz team directly started a fast attack!

When the Jazz are pressing all over the court or in the half, this is tantamount to letting go of the Rockets' strongest point Olajuwon in disguise, in this case, as long as the Jazz are not stupid, then they all know. If the Jazz's offense is to fall into positional battles and play with the Rockets, then the Jazz's success rate will definitely not be as good as the Rockets, in this case. How can I improve my offensive success rate? Naturally, after Olajuwon's attack, he counterattacked directly when he couldn't go back!

So when Malone's pass went directly to Stockton, Stockton, who was already standing in the center circle at this time, did not pause, and when Olajuwon was rushing back, the Jazz point guard had already killed the frontcourt, and the other Rockets players were also crazy to defend!

Especially Drexler, the Rockets guard is almost inseparable from Lin Han at this time. It's just that what makes Drexler extremely helpless and depressed is that when he and Lin Han both appeared at the next step of the free throw line, Stockton's pass from behind also came!

And Stockton's pass was another one that was a one-in-two chance for both sides. It's just that when he and Lin Han jumped up at the same time and made a physical confrontation in the air again, although Drexler, who was prepared this time, was not knocked away, but he also lost control of the ball after being knocked away by Lin Han. Ultimately. The Rockets guard could almost only grit his teeth and watch Lin Han get the ball in the air, and directly dunk the basketball into the basket with a gliding slam dunk in the air!

2 to 2!

When Olajuwon rushed back from the frontcourt, Lin Han had already hung on the basket with one hand, and Olajuwon's face was extremely ugly at this time.

You know, although he looks very easy every time he attacks with the ball, but as an inside lineman, how can he dribble over long distances with ease? For Olajuwon, the cost of this attack is indeed incomparable. And the score in exchange for such a huge consumption was taken back by the Jazz so easily.

How could this be endured by him?

Not to mention that Olajuwon couldn't stand it, even when Tomjanovic on the sidelines was on the sidelines, the three leading players of the Jazz team almost perfectly staged a three-man connection and Lin Han completed the dunk. The head coach of the Rockets even slammed his right hand directly into the empty seat next to him.

"Very beautiful counterattack, Olajuwon's offense is excellent, but the Jazz's offense is also excellent, the Rockets are now in a real dilemma, Olajuwon needs to attack, and it is a ball-holding strong offense that can't be considered defense, which makes the Rockets' defensive hole open, Jerry Sloan has made a very good tactical arrangement, if the average team can't catch such a fast offensive opportunity, then the Jazz have any elements to seize this offensive opportunity, Lin Han, The trio of Malone and Stockton is the most powerful trio in the league to switch offense."

"Although Jerry Sloan was not able to completely integrate the attacks of these three in positional battles, he did give the answer in the fast attack"

When the game opened, the two teams changed the defensive posture of the two sides in the previous game, and all scored with very fast offense, Larry Bird and Collins on the sidelines were also eye-catching, although the two teams did not change, but the tactical play of both teams did change.

"Damn, hateful Linhan, hateful Jerry Sloan!"

Of course, Larry Bird and Collins are now admiring the fast offense of both teams, while Tomjanovich, who is now pounding the empty seats next to him, can't.

Originally, Olajuwon's offense was very expensive, so in the face of the Jazz's pressing, the Rockets needed to play a success rate, and they also had to let the Jazz reduce the success rate, so that they could win, and now if the Jazz's success rate does not drop, then what do they have to win?!

Therefore, when the two teams started the fight in the first quarter of this game, the Jazz team still frantically pressed other Rockets players to make Olajuwon consume more on the offensive end, and Olajuwon was indeed not soft, constantly beating Polines one-on-one, while the Jazz team used Olajuwon's strong play to constantly move the fast baseline ball and counterattack, using Lin Han's impact and Stockton's pass to constantly tear apart the Rockets' defense line without an inside line, the two teams in this game almost waved their respective offenses to the extreme, is the real acme!

After the offensive posture of the two teams opened, almost every attack on both sides did not exceed 1o seconds, and not only the offense, but also the efficiency was extremely high, especially when the fans on the scene saw Lin Han and Olajuwon almost directly staged a one-on-one dunk contest, at this time the Jazz fans on the scene were almost crazy!

"Oh my God. The two teams played too aggressively in this game, and now we have to compete with the Rockets to see who can hold out longer? I believe that we will be able to last longer! ”

"But it's a great game. Especially Lin Han's dunk, without Olajuwon's defense, the Rockets' defense is completely unguarded against him, I think Lin Han should participate in the dunk contest this year, he is much better than that Ryder! ”

"Hahaha, yes, I think so. He's a contemporary glider, and no one can do it better than him! ”

Before the start of this game, both teams expected this game to be a very difficult one. Both teams were also mentally prepared for this, but when the game started, the coaching staff and players on both sides were a little surprised when the game between the two sides became like this.

Although he experienced Olajuwon's ability to play alone in the last game, Olajuwon's attack was more decisive in this game. Even Polinis's defence was already aggressive. But it still didn't have much effect, and again, the Jazz side did the same.

Drexler, who was questioned and criticized before the game, can't be said not to work hard in this game, although he won't have too many offensive opportunities when the Jazz play tight on the offensive end, but on the defensive end he is really, really hard, and he didn't even work so the defensive end when he faced Jordan in the Finals two years ago!

But what made him very embarrassed was that when he worked the defensive end, he was almost torn to pieces by Lin Han under Lin Han's impact again and again. The Rockets' shooting guard's expression was already a little distorted at this point.

In the current NBA, although most of the players are excellent in their hearts. At least he is better than ordinary people, but when he really worked hard, but in the end he was ruthlessly defeated by the other party again and again, it is not easy to maintain a stable relationship like Polynes at this time, just like the current Drexler, he has reached the verge of collapse at this time!

When the first quarter of this game was halfway through, the Rockets attacked, and the Jazz still insisted on their full-court pressing to consume Olajuwon, and when Olajuwon gritted his teeth again and defeated Polinis, in the face of Malone's always slow defense, the Rockets' leading player was a little helpless and directly dunked the ball in.

Originally, the leading player of the Rockets team didn't want to attack by himself if possible, because he was always counterattacked by the Jazz team, which made his offensive efficiency high, but the offensive effect was not high, but what made Olajuwon very speechless was that he wanted to pass the ball to others, and he couldn't find a chance, especially Robert Holly, who was defended by Malone, this guy Malone was really too obscene, when Olajuwon didn't start to attack, this guy just didn't leave Robert Hawley, And when he started to attack, Malone ran over to help defend.

said that it was to assist in defense, but in fact, there was no meaning of assistance at all, but directly staring at the basketball in his hand, Malone's assistance defense was to prevent Olajuwon from dunking or holding the basketball after a successful layup to prevent the Jazz from breaking fast, so Malone came to Olajuwon's side to assist in defense in order to grab the basketball that might be held after being attacked by Olajuwon.

So after understanding Ma Long's intentions, Olajuwon was really depressed.

And just when he dunked successfully again, the basketball had not yet fallen to the ground, it had been taken by Malone from mid-air, and Malone who got the basketball stood directly outside the bottom line, and at the moment when the referee signaled that the ball could be played, the Jazz power forward threw the basketball in his hand to Stockton, who had already gotten rid of Kenny Smith not far away, and in the face of Kenny Smith's save, Stockton made a very light turn and passed Kenny Smith. After dribbling a few steps to the center circle, Stockton threw the basketball in his hand to the Rockets basket again!

At this time, Lin Han and Drexler were still running in front of everyone, and this time, Lin Han jumped up directly after taking a step to the free throw line almost as usual!

If there is a problem with the accuracy of the Jazz's other players' passes, then Stockton's pass can be completely trusted, and there is absolutely no accuracy problem, so Lin Han is very confident that he can get Stockton's pass after jumping!

"Lin. Be careful?! ”

It's just that just after Lin Han flew up again with a confident face, the Jazz fans who had been extremely crazy and had been cheering for Lin Han again suddenly took a breath of cool air and quieted down, and Stockton's extremely loud roar came from Lin Han's ears.

Hey?

And when Lin Han watched Stockton's pass fly from the back of his head to the front. When he was about to stretch out his right hand to grab it, he grabbed it twice, but he couldn't catch it, this pass, he could only watch the basketball fly in front of him, and when Lin Han in the air felt this qiē, he was now flying in the air as if he was caught by something. The Jazz No. 8 player looked under him and saw a hideous-looking Drexler grabbing Lin Han's right foot with his right hand!

And just when Lin Han was a little surprised and incredible, the Jazz player who was flying in the air suddenly showed that his right foot was directly pulled by Drexler. Lin Han's whole body lost his balance in the air, and he fell from the air directly forward!

With a bang, when Lin Han fell directly from the air face down and fell to the ground, the entire center of the delta was almost dead silent!

Even after the start of the game. Larry Bird, who had been smiling, was stunned at this time at Lin Han who fell to the ground and stood behind Lin Han. Drexler's face was a little hideous, but his eyes were regretful and excited.

Especially the Jazz team's sideline head coach Jerry Sloan and the players on the court were all stunned when they saw Lin Han fall to the ground at this time, and when Lin Han didn't get up from the ground for a long time, almost everyone was shocked after coming back to their senses!

"Lin Han, don't get hurt!"

By this time, the black-hearted Stockton was already crying, and the other Jazz players and Jerry Sloan on the sidelines were no better.

If it weren't for the referee to stop it. Jerry Sloan had already rushed into the field, even if Jerry Sloan didn't rush into the field. At this time, the Jazz players who came back to their senses also killed Drexler, but at this time, they were blocked in the center circle by other players of the Rockets who also came back to their senses, and Lin Han and Drexler were still lying on the ground and standing there with a complicated expression.

"Boy, don't blame me, you forced me, you forced me!"

Looking at Lin Han, who was lying motionless in front of him, at this time Drexler ignored the Rockets players and Jazz players who were already playing behind him, nor did he pay attention to the boos that had sounded wildly at the scene, the Rockets' level guard almost trembled with his hands, and it could be seen that he was also struggling a little at this time.

And the team doctor on the sidelines entered the court at the signal of the referee, and when everyone's eyes looked at Lin Han lying on the ground again, Lin Han, who was motionless at this time, actually moved, and when Lin Han stood up from the ground, the Jazz fans were a little stunned for a while when they saw that the originally handsome Lin Han's nose was now a little red and swollen.

What made everyone at the scene even more confused was that if Lin Han, who was barely standing up, turned around and punched Drexler in the face with his right hand, who was still a little stunned and stunned, and Drexler responded directly after Lin Han's fist arrived, and the fans at the scene who were worried about whether Lin Han was injured saw Lin Han knock Drexler down very quickly, the Jazz scoring guard sat directly on Drexler's body and hit the Rockets guard with a rush, Lin Han seemed to have words in his mouth when he beat Drexler.

And when this scene was born, the Rockets players who were originally preventing the Jazz players from besieging Drexler immediately rushed towards Lin Han and Drexler.

And Jerry Sloan, Tomjanovich and Larry Bird and others on the sidelines saw this scene, and they all subconsciously covered their faces with their right hands.

It's just that when Jerry Sloan and Larry Bird or Tom Janovic looked at the Jazz and Rockets who had already been beaten up and couldn't bear to look at it, looking at the court that had been messed up, the referee on duty Bavita was also speechless for a while.

Although he had long known that there would be no good thing in Lin Han's game, he really didn't expect that the two teams would be able to fight like this in this game.

And a rookie can make all the referees in the league fearful, and Lin Han is also the first person in history. (To be continued!)
