(The second shift, it's already half past four in the morning, I really can't hold it, go lie down first, and make up the third shift tomorrow)

On December 24, 1994, Christmas Eve, there was one day before the Christmas game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Chicago Bulls. %

It's just that on the afternoon of this day, when the Chicago Bulls, who came to challenge as an away team, appeared at the Forum Arena for adaptation training a day in advance, the Forum Arena, which should have been without any movement, instantly became extremely lively, and the stands of the entire arena were full of media and reporters from all over the world!

"Did you come to Los Angeles a day early because you took the game seriously? Of course, the Los Angeles Lakers are a very strong team, and we need to play with a 12-point spirit in the face of such an opponent, so it is not unnecessary to come to the Forum Arena in advance to adapt to the training on the field to better prepare for tomorrow's game, and I can't wait for the game against the Los Angeles Lakers! ”

"Magic said this game won't cover me? If that's the case, I think it's an interesting choice, you know, in the NBA, I'm not afraid of any opponent, it doesn't matter how many people I play against, I have my own rhythm of play, as long as I'm in my own rhythm of play, no one can beat me. Forest? He's a great player and a champion player, I know. He's going to defend me and I'm going to defend him, so I'm looking forward to playing against Lin in this fight."

"Lin Han's comment on Falck? I've heard, and I support Linhan's statement, that Falke is far away from the NBA than Los Angeles and Chicago, and he's really not qualified to comment on the distance between me and Linham, though. I'm glad that Falke was able to fully believe in my quality, as he said, in a one-on-one situation. I've never lost, not in the past, not now, and not in the future! ”

When the Los Angeles Lakers players are on vacation. And the Chicago players came to Los Angeles. This also indicates that the prelude to the Christmas battle between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Chicago Bulls has begun!

And at this time, the public opinion of the entire NBA has already focused on Los Angeles, on the Chicago Bulls and the Los Angeles Lakers!

"Michael, just a little Laker, is it necessary to be so cautious? You should know that this team can't beat us, and your cousin hasn't looked like you at all lately."

When the Chicago Bulls arrived in Los Angeles in the afternoon and arrived in the visiting locker room at the Forum Arena after today's acclimatization, they were the team's second-in-command. Scott Pippen, who has not been in a good mood for a while, said with some unhappiness.

The Chicago Bulls have had an excellent season with 22 of their first 26 games. Although the Bulls' record was put last season, they couldn't even enter the top three in the league, after playing 26 games last season, the Jazz won all 26 games, and the record of Rocket and Yin is also quite amazing, but in this season, the Chicago Bulls' record is the absolute first record in the league, whether it is the East or the West, no team's record is comparable to the Bulls, this team seems to have gone to the next level after Jordan's return compared to last season!

It's a good thing that the team can go to the next level this season compared to last season, as the team's second-in-command Pippen should be happy, but, obviously, just like last season's Bulls table xiàn was excellent, Jordan's mood is very complicated, now Pippen's mood is also complicated, fortunately, Jordan's character is more open-minded than Pippen, last season the Bulls were able to show Xiàn so well without him, he is a little disappointed or blessed, but this season's Pippen, It's really complicated and a little painful, and it's not just that Jordan has returned to improve his record, but also that the results of the first round of last week's All-Star voting are disgusting to this second master.

Last season's All-Star voting, the whole voting is over, his votes are not as good as the Bulls' former backup point guard Armstrong, if last season he just suspected that it was Jordan's fans, those die-hard Jordan fans did not vote for him, then now, he has determined and affirmed that last season was pitted by Jordan's die-hard fans!

If he was just pitted by a group of fans in the NBA, it is actually nothing, such as Jordan, wasn't he also pitted by Lin Han's fans this season? Lin Han was also cheated by Jordan's fans, which is actually very normal, but now most of the Jordan fans in the league, especially Jordan's die-hard fans, are really Bulls fans, as Bulls fans, last season, they actually stood on the opposite side of Pippen who carried the team forward alone, Pippen actually couldn't impress them with such a good performance last season, which is indeed a little sad.

After all, Pippen has really contributed to this team almost in his career, over the years, the team's three consecutive championships and various honors have made his great contributions, but it is such a huge contribution, these Bulls fans or Jordan fans still regard him as a mustard, and even some neutral fans know him and support him better than these Jordan and Bulls fans.

And this is also what makes Pippen extremely sad, this is actually the sadness of the second leader of a team, no matter how much the second leader has made a huge contribution to the team, it is dispensable in the hearts of the team's fans, if last season's MVP vote was that the media experts broke the heart of Pi Erye, then this season's All-Star vote is the fans who broke the heart of Pi Erye, in the end he is still just Jordan's vassal, and he will never get rid of Jordan's influence.

For Pi Erye, he is now very miserable in the Bulls, but even if he is miserable in the Bulls, he has never thought of putting hatred on Jordan. I have to say that the status of Jordan in Pippen's mind is still very high, of course, since he doesn't put hatred on Jordan. So on whose body?

Naturally, the two guys who hindered him from getting out of Jordan's shadow last season, one is Lin Han, who robbed him of his All-Star MVP, and the other is Reggie Miller, who eliminated his Bulls in the round, these two guys are the players he hates and resents the most now!

Fortunately, a day ago, he was avenged in the game against the Pacers, and Reggie Miller's 2-of-12 shooting rate allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief, with Reggie Miller's strength. Even Jordan's all-out pursuit and interception may not be able to make him so miserable, obviously in the game against the Pacers, against Reggie Miller. Pippen also made a lot of effort!

And now, after avenging his revenge for last season's playoff round, Pippen is naturally setting his sights on Lin Han!

This game between the Bulls and the Lakers, in Pippen's opinion. There's no way the Bulls can't lose. And the only thing that needs to be done is to deal with Lin Han!

Compared with Reggie Miller, Lin Han can be said to be even more annoying to Pippen, this guy didn't just cooperate with O'Neal to steal his All-Star MVP last season, but more importantly, this guy completed the stunner under his nose when the two sides met for the first time, and this almost directly nailed him to the NBA's pillar of shame!

In the run-up to the game, many undisciplined media and television broadcasters were repeating the first meeting between the two teams last season. This is quite embarrassing for Pippen, if this game does not regain face on Lin Han's body. How could he swallow this breath!

If it's just him, then he really doesn't have much confidence that Lin Han can humiliate Lin Han, although he doesn't like this guy very much, but I have to say that Lin Han's ability is no longer the one he can humiliate if he wants to, at least he is not sure alone.

However, is he alone when he faces Lin Han now? Of course not, he still has Jordan's support now, and with Jordan, coupled with his defense, any outside player in the league is a dead man in front of them!

Whether it's Lin Han, or Grant Hill or Hardaway, it's all a dead man!

Therefore, in Pippen's opinion, Jordan was really too cautious when facing Lin Han's problem, according to his meaning, that is, humiliation, whether it is before, during or after the game, that is, Lin Han should be humiliated fiercely, just like what he did to Lin Han before the two teams met last season!

However, it is clear that the actual control of the Bulls is not him, but Jordan, so Jordan's behavior in recent times has indeed disappointed him.

"Yes, Michael, that kid is great, but how can he be your opponent? I support Scott at this point, you take that kid too seriously, in the future, he is indeed worth looking forward to, but for now, the league still belongs to you, to our bulls, do you say yes! ”

"That's right, now the alliance still belongs to us, as long as we have Michael, no one else wants to snatch what belongs to us again!"

Although Jordan's personality in the team is not so good, but compared with Pippen's moodiness, Jordan is still much more normal and more popular, plus even if Jordan really has a bad personality, but most of these players who are still in the Bulls are players who have been with Jordan for many years, and those players who are unhappy with Jordan have long been cleaned up by the team, in this case, even if Jordan has a bad personality or wants to find someone to bully in the team, he will not look for them, so, When facing the boss of their own team, the atmosphere in the Bulls' locker room is still very good.

Of course, at this time, most of the players in the Bulls locker room really supported Jordan is five-body throw, and the first person in the league can indeed bring them great confidence, but there is one person within the Bulls, that is Kukoc, this kid is now the only one in the Bulls team who is bullied by Jordan and Pippen together!

But who let this kid follow the wrong boss, that is also deserved, at the beginning of the season, Jordan's return is a big shock within the Bulls, originally in Kukoc's view, the team's struggle for power is about to begin, he will assist his boss Pippen to overturn Jordan's dominance. But what he never expected was that Pippen was indeed extremely surprised before Jordan's return, but after Jordan's return. This guy didn't have a fart, and Kukoc originally thought that his Pippen boss was not good at shooting by himself, so after the season began, Kukoc did something that made the Bulls feel very interesting, that is, this terrible kid actually didn't pass the ball to Jordan in the game, and Jordan didn't pass the ball to Jordan when he had the opportunity!

You know, Kukoc, who has the title of White Magic and European Jordan, is not the team's main possession point because of Pippen's storage. But he is definitely the team's top five possession point, and even an important part of the team's tactical system, and he has a lot of balls. Especially when the Bulls play a triangle offense, the triangle offense is to encourage Jordan to play alone but limit Jordan's singles tactics, and this restriction of singles mainly restricts Jordan's ball holding time, and Jordan is not allowed to use a long time to hold the ball to play alone. Instead, I hope Jordan's singles will be more concise and efficient. To put it bluntly, Phil Jackson fooled Jordan, sue sù Jordan, you can play singles, it's no problem to throw forty or fifty in a game, you can shoot singles, but you have to give up possession, when Jordan gives up possession, where does Jordan's offensive opportunity come from? Pippen or other Bulls players, of course. And after Grant's departure, the most important source of possession became Kukoc.

In this case. Kukoc doesn't pass the ball to Jordan, so how can Jordan bear it? Even in the first game of this season, Jordan scored more than 50 points angrily, not because he looked at his hometown team Charlotte Hornets unpleasantly, but because he was angry with Kukoc, and he directly returned his playing style to the cancer era of the year!

Of course, with Jordan's character, Kukoc dares to yin him like this, will he have good fruit to eat in the bulls in the future? If Pippen is really willing to cover him, the key is that Pippen is a merciless player, and he has long seen that Kukoc, who has a higher salary than him, is not pleasing to the eye, when Jordan bullied Kukoc, Pippen actually joined in, this Nima simply made Kukoc feel full of malice from all over the world at that time.

But fortunately, the strength of the kid from this Europe is really strong, although Jordan and Pippen are really unhappy with him, but this guy is stunned to be able to rely on his own strength to make Jordan and Pippen dare not beat him into the cold palace or trade him directly like other teams, but although he can keep his position on the court, but in the locker room, this kid is really miserable.

Therefore, at this time, watching this group of Bulls players slap Jordan on the back with great interest, Kukoc, who has always seen that Jordan is not very pleasing to the eye, pouted directly on the side and expressed his disdain.

"Let's be careful, that kid isn't easy at all"

Although he knows that what his teammates are saying is right, he knows Lin Han very well, and even the Jordan god who has watched most of Lin Han's games in the past two seasons, he knows Lin Han much more than these Bulls players.

It's just that, obviously, even if he knows that these teammates are underestimating Lin Han, Jordan can't say clearly, how can he grow others' morale and destroy his prestige before the game? Therefore, Jordan just smiled and mentioned it slightly, as for whether his teammates are willing to believe it, it doesn't matter much, in fact, he doesn't care what his teammates think!

Because, although he attaches great importance to Lin Han, and even before the game, he didn't dare to say that he would be able to win against Lin Han, but this does not mean that he is afraid, because in Jordan's heart, even now, he still maintains a great self-confidence, just like his agent Falke said, one-on-one duel, he has not lost in the past, and he will not lose now!

Since he believes that he will not lose to Lin Han, what does it matter if his teammates despise Lin Han?!

"I've never lost in a one-on-one situation, not in the past, not now, and not in the future!"

"This sentence is really confident and domineering."

On the evening of December 24th, at Lin Han's home, looking at the Bull 23rd who was interviewed on the TV news, Lin Han also said with some emotion.

"Well, of course, he's the best player in the NBA right now, and he's right, and he has the capital to say that, if you beat him in this game. You can say the same thing, and no one else will question it! ”

Lingmeng on the side looked at Lin Han, who was holding his little sister Lin Yu, and said with a smile, It seems that this little girl seems to be quite supportive of Jordan.

But. After Reimu finished speaking, Lin Han was silent at this time.

"One day I'll be able to say it to the whole world!"

After a short silence, Lin Han looked at the bull No. 23 on TV, and said fiercely after gently hugging the little sister sitting in his arms a little harder.

"Hopefully you'll have that confidence after this game"

After Lin Han finished speaking, Lingmeng glanced at Lin Han angrily, then turned around and walked into the kitchen to help.

"Brother, I'm sure you can do it"

In the face of Lingmeng's ridicule, Lin Han didn't care. However, the little sister in Lin Han's arms encouraged Lin Han with confidence at this time.

Looking at the little sister who was very cute at this time, Lin Han also smiled and gently rubbed her little face, which was still a little fleshy, and then kissed the little sister's delicate cheek.

"Perverted"

When Lin Han couldn't help but kiss his little sister on the cheek. The little sister Lin Yu shyly buried her whole body into Lin Han's arms, and at this time, there was a voice in Lin Han's ears that made Lin Han very speechless.

Of course, the source of the sound must be the extremely deceitful Ellie

December 25, 1994, Christmas Day. Los Angeles Forum Arena at half past eight in the evening

There was less than half an hour left before the start of the game. At this time, the first game of the Christmas game has already ended, the Magic team easily defeated the New York Knicks who are missing Ewing 11o 1o1, and when the first game of the Christmas game between the Magic and New York is over, the eyes of the United States and the world have been focused on the game between the Lakers and the Bulls!

Although Jordan and Lin Han were quite restrained before the game, and the two teams did not have too many war of words, but for such a game, even if the two teams were quite restrained before the game, how could they resist the enthusiasm and attention of the fans?

Even Jordan and Lin Han were dumb before this game. Fans and media pundits alike won't care, because this game will sell just as long as the 23vs24 title is played!

Not to mention that in recent days, newspaper sales have been climbing because of Lin Han and Jordan. Even if it is a ticket for this game, it is also rising, this season because of the arrival of Lin Han and the comeback of the Magic, etc., the Lakers' average ticket price per game so far this season has reached an astonishing $25o per game, ranking second in the entire league, second only to the New York Knicks' $3o5, of course, this is also because of the high enthusiasm at the beginning of the season, by the end of the season, whether it is the Knicks or the Lakers average ticket price will drop, It is estimated that the Lakers will be in the early 15o dollars in the end, and the Knicks are estimated to be about the same after so many problems, but no matter what, in this game, when Jordan came to Los Angeles as a guest, the average ticket price of this game reached an astonishing 65o dollars a piece, and it is still priceless!

Although more than $6oo is nothing compared to the average ticket price of thousands of dollars a ticket when Jordan was a guest in New York, this is definitely the most in the history of the Lakers, and I have to say that this game is indeed attractive enough for Lakers fans!

And they are also willing to spend so much money to watch such a game, especially for those dignitaries in Los Angeles, the exposure and influence of this game is just that the ticket price is too low and too low, and it is nothing at all.

Especially when the game is about to start, the Chicago Bulls take the lead, when the Lakers fans at the scene see the first person in the league, when the boos rang out in the Forum Arena, it is worth just booing Jordan, who has not been seen for a year, on his home court.

For Lakers fans, they don't have a good impression of Jordan, the player who pushed the Lakers off the throne, but in the past few seasons, the Lakers really weren't the opponent of the Bulls, and they could only swallow their anger.

And now, although the Lakers still don't look like a match for the Bulls, when, as many people say, the Lakers have a chance to push the Bulls off the throne after owning Lin Han, even if they can't do it now. They can do it in the future, and they are willing to go with the team and then beat Jordan. Get the team back to the top!

Therefore, when the Bulls players finished playing, when the Lakers players played, when Lin Han played as the finale, looking at Lin Han, who was going to lead the team to challenge the Bulls' throne, the Lakers' on-site fans were really sending their cheers and support to Lin Han, and this kind of support even surprised the Celtics legend Larry Bird on the sidelines.

"Although this game was thought by a lot before the game. It was a game that might not be in suspense about the outcome of the game, but judging by the Lakers fans at the scene, they didn't care what these people thought. It's a very good imagination, and the Lakers fans show their demeanor, and they're one of the few fans in the league who don't care about a game."

Looking at the crazy Lakers fans at this time, Larry Bird also said with a smile.

Recent times. Or after the end of this summer. When Lynham was traded to the Lakers, Larry Bird, who was angry at the Celtics' slow moves, has been mired in the Celtics' internal struggle for power, and when Larry Bird, who was already extremely disappointed in the team, was ready to forcibly intervene in the management of the team, he almost encountered unimaginable resistance, and after a few months of hard work, Larry Bird was also completely disappointed in the current Celtics.

In the end, the legend of the Celtics is still a simple NBA compared to the hard struggle for power in the past few months. Pure basketball is more suitable for him, so. Before the start of this game, the ABC special guest commentator also returned to his post again.

And the first game when he returned to his post was to explain the big battle between Lin Han and Jordan, which made Larry Bird quite excited.

"Larry, do you think Lin Han and Jordan will be the winner in this game?"

When Lin Han played in the cheers of the fans, when the players on both sides were about to walk to the court to warm up, Collins also asked with a smile, he is Jordan's mentor and Lin Han's die-hard fan, these two mean to him very specially.

"It should be hard"

After Collins' question, Larry Bird continued after a little contemplation: "Both are the most popular players in the league, but they are not familiar with each other, and in this case, the most likely outcome of this game is a Bulls win, and Lynham and Jordan will probably be in a hard-fought battle with a balance."

After Larry Bird finished speaking, Collins also smiled and nodded.

There are some balanced hard battles, this is also his opinion, although the two must have studied each other for a long time, but the research and actual operation are completely different, with the strength of the two, when both sides are not familiar, it is difficult to break the balance of strength, the strength of both is too strong, if you can't find the real weakness of the other party, how can you break through the opponent, and break the balance? If you don't break the balance, then it will be difficult to really tell the winner, so there may be a winner and a loser in the game, but it may be difficult for the two to distinguish the winner or loser.

However, in the same way, with Collins' understanding of Jordan, he may not tolerate such a situation, and similarly, Lin Han may not allow such a situation to occur, both of these are extremely persistent players who are committed to winning!

And just as Collins imagined, when the players on both sides walked from the bench to the court, when the Lakers led by Lin Han and the Bulls led by Jordan came to the vicinity of the center circle almost at the same time, as the leading players of the two teams, whether it was Lin Han or Jordan, these two stopped directly in the middle circle, and then looked at the opponent almost at the same time!

And when the big screen on the scene and tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of fans around the world saw Lin Han and Jordan standing in the middle circle and confronting each other, almost all of these fans were excited, not to mention these fans, even the two ABC commentators on the sidelines and the media reporters from various countries around the world at this time were almost the same!

"Lin, the winner of this game will definitely belong to me!"

When Lin Han and Jordan looked at each other for a while, looking at Lin Han, who was still a little immature at this time, Jordan said with a smile on his face, the confidence and contagiousness on his face had an impact even on the Lakers players around Lin Han.

"Michael, that's what I'm going to say!"

However, compared with other Lakers players, Lin Han's expression at this time was still firm, as if he had not been affected by Jordan at all, and looking at Lin Han at this time, Jordan didn't seem to be much surprised, as if he took it for granted.

"Then we'll see"

After taking a deep look at Lin Han, Jordan smiled and turned to leave, and looking at Jordan's back, Lin Han's fists were already tightly clenched together at this time! (To be continued!)
