Chapter 16 Learn to build character

As a team that Lin Han is about to cheat, the Utah Jazz's performance this year is really sorry for the team's performance in recent seasons. Although the Jazz, like the Lakers, were eliminated in the first round.

But as the Lakers, it is not surprising that they were eliminated in the first round this year. After all, they entered the playoffs with the eighth regular season position in the West last year, and were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs. It can be said that since the Magic left, everyone knows that this Lakers is an old team.

The Lakers are now an old team, but the Jazz are not like this. Two seasons ago, the Jazz entered the second round in the West. Last season, the Jazz entered the Western Conference finals in the playoffs, but lost to the Trail Blazers led by Drexler in the Western Conference finals. Everyone knows that since the Trail Blazers changed to the new boss Paul Allen, this team has always been known for its lineup.

Although I lost last year, in many people's opinion, the Jazz just lost to the Trail Blazers. As long as the lineup can be enhanced this season, this team will be very competitive in the West this season. It's just a bit embarrassing that the Jazz's performance this season is really disappointing.

Why is the Jazz's performance so much worse than last year? Of course, from the perspective of core players, the Jazz can naturally say that the Olympics participated by their core player John Stockton is like the Bulls' Jordan Pippen. Stockton's performance this year is much worse than last year, but what is more important is the problems in other teams. Although Stockton's performance this year is not as good as last year, Stockton is one of the most stable players in the league. Even if the performance has decreased due to the Olympics, it is still limited, and Malone is the same.

However, compared with last year, other Jazz players are one year older, such as the team's main defender Jeff Malone, the former Washington Bullet All-Star player, is 32 years old this year. It is obvious that his career has declined. The team's most important substitute player, Tyron Cobin, is also 31 years old, and the player's strength and condition are also in a serious decline.

In this case, the team's center position can still be relied on the 36-year-old white inside Mark Eaton. It can be said that this Jazz's performance this year, except for the team's two leading players, the team's center, small forward, and shooting guard need to be strengthened.

But the situation is similar to that of the Lakers, the Jazz don’t have much bargaining chips to change these loopholes in the team. At least their draft picks are not good. In addition to Malone and Stockton, the trading value of other players in the team is also very limited.

That's why Jerry Sloan fell in love with Ma Jian in March. Although Ma Jian may not be very strong, he can at least strengthen the team's inside line. The price of signing Ma Jian was very small. However, in the end, Ma Jian chose to go to the University of Utah instead of participating in the NBA draft. Now, although Ma Jian has no hope, Lin Han's appearance once again surprised Jerry Sloan, and this surprise is even stronger than Ma Jian.

After all, Lin Han is a player who averaged more than 30 points per game in three games of the rookie match. He is the scoring champion in the training camp. Although many people are not optimistic about him because of his physical fitness and think that it is difficult for him to succeed in the NBA's high-intensity defense, Sloan and others have different views, because the Jazz now have a Stockton who is not very physically good but has become one of the best point guards in the league. In his opinion, Lin Han, like Stockton, has outstanding shortcomings and advantages, but their advantages are far greater than their disadvantages.

As for Lin Han's cancerous style of playing, Sloan doesn't have to care even more about it. Now, except for Malone's stable inside scoring point, others really don't care about sharing the ball with Lin Han. For example, the team's leading scoring guard Jeff Malone is already 32 years old, and his career has begun to decline rapidly. As a veteran, he knows his position very well, so he will not cause any trouble to Lin Han. So for many other teams, Lin Han's playing style may be a cancer, which consumes too much ball rights, but it is not the case for the Jazz.

In this case, Lin Han is really likely to cheat Jerry Sloan, who has always been known for his shrewdness.

Of course, for Lin Han at this time, he wanted to cheat Jerry Sloan or Jerry West, but he wouldn't really think so much. For him, he just knew Jerry Sloan really cared about him.

On June 4, 1993, Lin Han returned to Utah from Chicago. He was originally preparing to stay in Chicago to watch several finals after the training camp, but what made Lin Han very angry was that as this year's rookie, super rookies such as Hardaway and Webber accepted the invitation from the Bulls, but as the scoring champion of Chicago training camp, Lin Han did not receive the invitation, which made Lin Han very angry.

Although he can buy tickets by himself to support his idol Jordan, it is obvious that the slightly better tickets in the finals are almost powerless, and he is now only 5,000 US dollars.

So in the end, although Lin Han came to Chicago once, he did not really visit Chicago. Instead, he hurriedly went and came back hurriedly.

"Hey? Hey, Alice, look, I've actually been to the United States today, I've actually entered the newspaper."

Although Lin Han, who returned to Utah, was so angry that when he walked out of the airport and was about to go to the newspaper booth to buy a few newspapers about this year's rookie predictions, he saw his own name in the most famous newspaper in the United States Today. You should know that the reports on NCAA and NBA Drafts in the United States today are the most authoritative in the United States.

In the forecast of the rookie this year for the United States today, Lin Han was ranked 30th by the United States today, a position ahead of the second round.

Name: Lin Han

Age: 19 years old

School: Utah Valley Community College

Height: 6 feet 6 inches

Weight: 190 lbs

Position: Scoring Guard

Second position: small forward

Advantages: infinitely close to Jordan's shooting method, an attacking desire beyond imagination

Weakness: Lack of sufficient basketball qualifications in high school and college, and the time for strong rise is too short, making people doubt his future, as well as his extremely poor defensive and physical qualities.

High school or university data: ominous

Report: This is a player with outstanding advantages and disadvantages. Entering Jordan's perfect turn and back jump shot made him one of the strongest scoring players of all rookies this year. In the just-concluded talent training camp, he became the scoring champion of the training camp, but apart from the scoring champion, Lin Han did not leave anything other than scoring in the training camp. Personally, this is a player who can gamble. His future depends on how well he adapts to the NBA. This newspaper predicts that he will be selected in the 30th pick.

The 30th pick was selected? This is the prediction of the United States today, and this is the prediction of the United States today! In addition to the United States today, Lin Han looked at other famous American newspapers, such as the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times, the Washington Post and other big newspapers. When this year's rookie predictions, Lin Han's name appeared. Although they were all predicted to be selected in the second round, and the introduction was not as detailed as the United States today, no matter what, this is the first time Lin Han has appeared on the stage of mainstream American media.

"Hey, what's going on?"

The Chinese super rookie said: Hardaway is a perfect player. No matter what aspect, I am the difference between heaven and earth.

When Lin Han saw the front page of the Chicago Tribune Sports Edition headline, he almost vomited a mouthful of blood, and when he read the content of this report, it was even more so.

When the training camp was closed, as the scoring champion of this year's training camp, Lin Han naturally could not have been without anyone's attention. Many people asked him to evaluate his teammate Hardaway. He was very dissatisfied with Hardaway, so he exhausted his irony, but in the end he did not expect to be reported like this.

It made Lin Han flatter Hardaway.

"These guys don't understand the profoundness of my language at all, hum"

After throwing down the Chicago Tribune in his hand, Lin Han cursed angrily.

"Coward, don't be so angry. Although these media reports have some problems, this is a good thing. Because your almost flattering speech to Hardaway has attracted attention, your character value has increased. Now it is not 1%, but 5%. Congratulations on you, you have learned to accumulate character."

Just when Lin Han was angry, the crisp laughter from his ears made him a little stunned.

Praise others for being able to accumulate character? Is it true or false?
