Chapter 239 Playoff scoring record?
(Today, three chapters will be updated in three chapters, this is the first chapter!)
"Is Old Nelson determined to help defend Lin Han in this game?"
In this game between the Jazz and the Warriors, the tactical strategies used by the Warriors in this game are very surprising. Facing the newly-scoring scoring champion in the league and now the strongest scoring player in the league, this team has prepared one defense and one defense from the beginning to the end. If Lin Hanyi didn't feel very good, the Warriors' defense and one defense would not be much problem. If the Warriors were unable to defend Lin Han under such a defensive strategy, the team was ahead in the score, and there was no problem with such defense. However, it is obvious that when the starters of both sides returned to the court again in the second quarter and the game started again, Lin Han's defensive offense against Spreville was still very efficient, and the Jazz also led in the score. In this case, Old Nelson sat on the sidelines with a smile, and seemed to be completely unable to see the game situation on the court.+
So this surprised Collins, the former Bulls head coach. As the head coach of Jordan and the Bulls back then, he knew very well that if he had made changes in tactical situations when he encountered this situation, the team would have been behind. After all, the player with the strongest scorers on the opponent were extremely efficient at this time. If he was indifferent, the final result would be very tragic.
Of course, the Warriors were not very tragic at this time. Although the team was behind, the difference in points behind was not very big.
At this time, Collins couldn't see what the madman Old Nelson wanted to play, and Larry Bird on the same side did not fully see what tricks the old guy was playing. For Larry Bird, since he became an expert, his basketball knowledge has been improving rapidly. Especially in many cases, he is not weaker than some famous NBA coaches. For example, the former Bulls head coach next to him is now not as good as him, but for the madman Old Nelson, he really can't understand that many common sense things are simply ineffective in him!
Not to mention that Larry Bird and Collins were confused by Old Nelson at this time, the same was true for the Jazz players on the court and the Jazz coach Jerry Sloan on the sidelines.
But although I can't understand what it means to pinch Marlon and release Lin Han and Stockton so crazy, it's just for Lin Han and the Jazz. Since the opponent really lets go, we have to attack. So at this time the Jazz and the Warriors' second quarter game was still very lively.
Spreville's defense is really excellent. The Warriors have excellent physical fitness and good defense awareness. What's more important is that they are willing to defend Lin Han, and their will to defeat Lin Han is also very strong. In the NBA, most talented players have similar physical talents. Even those talented players rarely have comprehensive talents, at most they are talented in some aspects. In this case, when defending, what is more important for these talented players is no longer defensive skills. After all, talented players who are all-round offense and defense are actually not bad in defensive skills. Whether everyone can defend well is more of an attitude question.
There is no way that Spreville has an attitude problem in this game, so Lin Han’s defense is really very, very deadly. If it is an ordinary star defender, a quasi-superstar like Richmond may be very miserable on the offensive end in this game. Although Lin Han is one level higher than Richmond, especially on the offensive end, it is really more than one level higher. Even so, although Lin Han is a successful person most of the time when he faces Spreville one-on-one, he is very entangled or very difficult every time.
Therefore, although the Warriors are letting go of Lin Han, the pressure on Lin Han is actually quite large. After all, Spreeville really gave up most of his offense in this game and focused defense. Of course, Lin Han also gave up most of his defense in this game. After all, Spreeville and the Warriors did not give him any plans to participate in the Jazz defense, which allowed Lin Han to maintain his winning rate against Spreeville for a long time. If Lin Han was still too distracted on the defensive end, he might be on the offensive end, even if facing Spreeville's singles defense, although Lin Han's singles efficiency would be very high, it would definitely be less than this level.
"This guy is really difficult"
When Lin Han received Stockton's pass from the right side of the free throw line extension line, Lin Han could clearly feel that Spreevil's concentration at this time, the center of gravity was pressed very low, and almost all the strength of his body was pressed against Lin Han's waist. This was a very excellent defensive move. This not only made it difficult for Lin Han to completely use the power of the lower body when he broke through, but it was difficult to coordinate the strength of the upper body and the power of the lower body, so even if Lin Han forced himself to shoot or forcibly break through, there would be a sense of stagnation. This sense of stagnation without rhythm is a taboo for the players. Many ordinary defensive players also know the importance of holding the opponent's waist position when defending, but there are not many who can do as good as Spreevil.
Therefore, although I don’t know how many times I directly defeated Spreville one-on-one, Lin Han still felt that he did not completely defeat the opponent, because the opponent had no sense of loss in fighting spirit. Instead, he became more and more motivated after being defeated by himself. This also made Lin Han a little helpless. This was completely different from Terryport who faced the Trail Blazers in the last round of the series.
Of course, although Spreville's one-on-one defense is fierce and firm, Lin Han is still full of confidence in his personal offense. Although it will take more energy, as long as Lin Han is given enough offensive time, he can still get rid of this guy as usual.
This time, facing Spreeville's top waist defense, Lin Han faced Spreeville with one hand sideways. After leaning on Spreeville for two moves, he saw that the guy's center of gravity was indeed very stable, Lin Han turned around and dribbled to the right and got rid of Spreeville's top waist. And Spreevil, who had been ready for a long time, naturally could not be so easy to be removed by Lin Han. This defensive player with excellent flexibility and extremely resilience quickly entwined Lin Han from the side again, and
At this time, Lin Han, who had not thought of a single move, immediately turned around and then took a step back after half-turning. Then, when Spreville was still moving in defense, Lin Han, who had already taken the step back and changed directions from the two Deron Williams, who had once again tricked Spreeville, who was rushing towards him, then took a step to the left and went to the lower position of the free throw line and pulled it up. It was a mid-range emergency stop jump shot. This time, the unguarded mid-range emergency stop jump shot still hit.
At this time, when Spreville, who had already taken off and rushed over, saw Lin Han break through his defensive hit again, the Warriors defender's face became even more ugly. Although the head coach Nelson on the sidelines had been applauding and indicating that his defense was good, he didn't feel any good now!
With Lin Han's offensive ability, he actually didn't have to get rid of Spreville like this, but Lin Han really didn't dare to do anything randomly when facing the Warriors, a team with a strong scoring ability.
If he faces the Spurs or Bulls, even the Knicks, Lin Han dares to face the defenders and throw three-pointers directly, but the Warriors are different from the Spurs or Bulls. This team is really super attacking. The Jazz really can't defend this team. After Malone threw two of them, he almost overtaken by the Warriors after throwing two of them. After that, even Malone dares to do anything. He can only appoint such a crazy defense of the Warriors. If Lin Han really dares to do something, even if the three-point shooting percentage reaches more than 40%, he may not be able to lead the Warriors in the score. Not to mention 40% or even 50% success rate may not be necessary, so Lin Han is always looking for absolute offensive opportunities. As long as there is no absolute offensive opportunity, Lin Han dares not do anything.
So this is indeed a great deal for Lin Han. It is difficult but not too difficult to get Spreville away from it. However, it is really difficult to get Spreville away from it to have a complete offensive opportunity.
In this case, the Jazz's offense was actually quite slow in this game. Although the advancement was very fast, the offense was not fast, but rather stagnant because Lin Han held the ball for too long.
So when the second quarter of this game ended, although the Jazz still maintained the lead in the score with their very good singles efficiency, the leading advantage was not very obvious. 60 to 55, the Jazz led the Warriors by 5 points after the half-time. With the Warriors' offensive efficiency in the playoffs, 55 points in the half-time was actually very low. This is not only because Spreville basically did not contribute much on the offensive end, but more importantly, because he deliberately gave Lin Han a single chance to slow down the pace of the game a little.
Of course, it is really not easy to be able to score 33 points in 13 of 20 shots at the end of the half-time, but it was still only 5 points behind. If other teams had Lin Han scored 33 points in the half-time, they would have been beaten long ago.
It has to be said that the Warriors' offensive ability is indeed strong enough, so old Nelson dared to play this strategy of tying Malone to release Lin Han. Of course, another point is that old Nelson himself did not expect that Lin Han could maintain such high offensive efficiency when facing defense like Spreville.
"This kid is indeed a bit different. I thought he was a player who could attack but ignored him, but now it seems that I underestimated him."
When the half-time game ended, when the Warriors came down from the court with a five-pointer, Old Nelson looked at the young Jazz No. 8 next to the Jazz Big Three, who was not so beautiful, and murmured to himself.
You know, although his strategy in this game is to allow Lin Han to play singles for a long time, his team should not be so much behind in the halftime in Old Nelson's plan. Judging from the current halftime, it is obvious that some accidents have occurred at Lin Han.
The offensive madman and the attacking madman in this game are more reasonable than he imagined, and he rarely really takes the strong shots of the defender. Facing Spreville's defense, Lin Han certainly cannot break through successfully or get rid of it every time. Some shots are strong shots. However, the proportion is not large, which surprised Old Nelson.
According to Old Nelson's design, at the end of the half of the game, Lin Han made 25 shots, which was a relatively normal number, and 25 shots were up to about 12 times. The final result was that Lin Han made 'just' 20 shots, and the number of hits exceeded the average given by Old Nelson.
However, although Lin Han's performance exceeded some expectations, Old Nelson was still very satisfied with this half and was not beyond his control.
Therefore, when the Warriors players were forced to leave the court, the head coach of the Warriors was also quite happy.
However, if Lin Han knew what Old Nelson thought at this time and the amount of 25 shots designed by Old Nelson for him, Lin Han's anger towards Old Nelson would be even stronger.
Of course. Even if you don’t know what Old Nelson was thinking at this time, Lin Han and the three leading players of the Jazz were also very unhappy with Old Nelson. There are probably not many people who can make the Jazz lead the score at the end of the half-time game, and Old Nelson did this game.
“fvck!”
When the Jazz players returned to the locker room, as the team's boss, Malone took off his coat and smashed it hard on his seat. Lin Han and Stockton looked at each other and shook their head helplessly.
This newly promoted MVP game is really a frustrating. You know, the reason why Ma Long hurriedly held an MVP speech yesterday instead of waiting until the playoffs is over. This guy is planning to "pretend" in this game before doing that. If he scored 40 or 50 points in the playoffs the next day after the MVP speech, what a beautiful story would it be?
It can be said that for this game, Malone was really well prepared, but who knew that in this game, "pretending" did not pretend to be "stupid" in the end. For a new MVP, in a game after the MVP speech, he only scored 6 points in the half. How miserable it is? If it was during the regular season, especially when Lin Han was playing data in the second half of the regular season, Malone would never be so honest in this game. Even if the team lost, he would have to face several people to defend and force a high score. In fact, he did not do this in this game. In the first quarter, he forced twice, but failed in the end, and almost lost the team's lead, the new MVP became honest.
Obviously, he is no longer an ordinary superstar now. He is now an MVP. It is too embarrassing to do things like forcibly scoring points regardless of the team's victory or defeat. Even after Jordan got the MVP and faced the voice of others saying that he was a cancer, this very arrogant master honestly won a triple-double for a season, and finally averaged 32+8+8 per game. Now Malone is similar to Jordan at that time, but at this time, as an inside player, he is even worse than Jordan back then.
So, in Malone's opinion, the old man, Old Nelson, was clearly trying to break up his position in a game he wanted to show off, which was to not give him face. Although Malone was careless like a child and a funny person, most superstars in the Malone League were very good at face, and even Malone loved face more than many people. Now, Old Nelson clearly made him lose face, it would be strange if he could tolerate things like Old Nelson that clearly made him lose face.
But at this time, Malone also knew that he couldn't bear it and had no choice. Old Nelson just didn't give him a chance to attack, and just slammed him wildly. So now this scene happened in the Jazz's locker room. Malone directly returned to the locker room and threw his coat.
Of course, at this time, the rest of the Jazz also knew that Malone was playing miserably by Old Nelson, so everyone didn't care much about Malone's jersey swagger, and even the team's head coach Jerry Sloan didn't care much about it at this time.
In fact, the head coach of the Jazz is still hesitating now. Malone is in a difficult situation now, and there is actually no way to solve this dilemma. The reason why the Warriors dare to attack Malone so crazily is to bully the Jazz. Another inside line has no offensive ability. The Jazz's No. 3 position has no offensive ability except for three-pointers on the offensive end. The Warriors don't even care about Lin Han's three-pointer, let alone Russell's three-pointer threat?
In this case, as long as Russell is replaced by Elliot, who can attack with the ball and replace PJ Brown with a "super short" inside line like Lin Han, the Warriors will never dare to attack Malone so crazy.
If you do this, will the Jazz's defense against the Warriors collapse? And if Elliott still performs as badly as before after being on the starting lineup, wouldn't it be even more tragic? More importantly, the team is now leading in the score. Is it necessary for the team to take risks to liberate Malone? Is there any need to do uncertain things for Malone's face?
These are things that Jerry Sloan needs to consider now, so sometimes being too cautious is not a good thing. If you think too much, you can easily drive yourself crazy.
"Everyone performed well in the first half, and I hope to maintain this performance in the second half."
After thinking for a while, facing the Jazz players who were already sitting in their respective positions, Jerry Sloan also said calmly. After Jerry Sloan finished speaking, all the Jazz players were stunned, and then subconsciously looked at Malone. At this time, Malone's face became even more ugly.
Although Jazz players are not as good as Stockton in terms of IQ, not many people are more funny than Malone. How could Malone throw his coat into a locker room and behave as such as "realistic" and "acting" just to vent his anger? Obviously, this is not only expressing his anger to Old Nelson, but more importantly, expressing his displeasure to his teammates and head coach of his team, especially to head coach Jerry Sloan. However, because the team is now leading, as the team leader, Malone is not good at telling Sloan directly. I am very unhappy now. You have to change my tactics for me in the second half, so I have such an eye-catching scene.
Who knew that after thinking about it, Jerry Sloan directly ignored Ma Long's "acting skills". Seeing Ma Long's constipated expression, many Jazz players almost laughed. In fact, after looking at Ma Long, Lin Han lowered his head and covered his mouth and laughed. Although the laughter was not loud, everyone in the Jazz locker room heard it. Of course, Ma Long also heard it. However, the Jazz's boss was really embarrassed at this time. He did not expect that the "magnificent" strategy he had come up with on the court for a long time was actually seen through by Lin Han, the funny guy. It seemed that not only Lin Han had seen through it, but even other Jazz players saw it. This made the boss of the team want to dig a hole and bury himself. It was too embarrassing.
Of course, at this time, the atmosphere in the Jazz locker room became active due to the reasons of Malone and Lin Han. After looking at Malone and Lin Han, Jerry Sloan shook his head helplessly and continued.
"Lin, your offense was very good in the first half, but you need to be more cautious on the offensive end."
After Jerry Sloan finished speaking, Lin Han, who was still mocking Malone, had a little change in his face. According to Sloan's intention, his offense in the first half was still a little irrational. You should know that his offense was already very rational when facing Spreeville's defense. If he was irrational, he would be able to take action 20 times, thirty times. Facing a player like Spreeville, he would be an absolute chance to attack every time, which is somewhat difficult for him to do.
However, thinking that Jerry Sloan is not going to change tactics in the second half, that is to say, Malone will not be liberated, and the Jazz want to be able to guarantee his victory, under the Warriors' even more crazy attack, Lin Han's offensive efficiency does need to continue to improve a little, which will be safer.
When I thought of this, although I was a little dissatisfied, Lin Han nodded in agreement.
When the half-time of this game ended, the Jazz were setting up their second half playing style, and the Warriors were the same. However, compared with the Jazz, the Warriors' locker room was not as harmonious as the Jazz. When Old Nelson was setting up tactics, two middle-aged teenagers, Chris Webber and Spreville, leaned directly on the cabinet in their seats, closed their eyes and listened without listening. However, Old Nelson and other Warriors players, who had long been accustomed to this, did not care at all.
"At the beginning of the third quarter, we have to continue to stick to the strategy of the first half, although we are still behind now. But we must be the winner of this game. As long as we can stick to the fourth quarter, we must be the winner of this game!"
"Victory! Victory! Victory!"
Although he was still behind in the halftime game. In addition to the team's second-year juniors, Old Nelson has a high prestige. The players do believe in many of Old Nelson's tactical arrangements, and also believe that Old Nelson's tactical arrangements can make them win this game.
"It seems that neither team has made any personnel adjustments in the second half."
"That's because both teams were very satisfied with the first half, which is very rare."
Larry Bird said with a smile after watching the starters of both teams standing on the court again.
When both sides returned to the court after halftime, the starting lineups on both sides did not change. In this case, the tactical styles of the two teams in the third quarter were naturally not changed. The Warriors still insisted on the rapid advancement of team running and bombing style, while the Jazz still relied on the offenses of Lin Han and Stockton and the attacks of the other two Jazz role players. As for Malone, this new MVP is still surrounded by the Warriors and has almost no offensive opportunities.
"Avery Johnson cut into the basket and received Malone's pass and prepared to layup. No?! Avery Johnson jumped up and faced Malone's block, and the pass behind him was handed to Chris Mulin's hand. Chris Mulin shot. A very beautiful mid-range shot, it seems that Mulin recovered well in the playoffs. In the first round of the series against the Spurs, he averaged 25 points per game, with three-point shooting percentage and two-point shooting percentage exceeding 50%. It seems that he is not only physically strong but also has a state that has been adjusted back to his peak."
The Warriors' style of playing that everyone can attack with the ball and passes is indeed very harmful to the Jazz team, which does not have much assisting defense ability in the interior. Even if the Spurs have a Superman like David Robinson, their offense has not received much obstacles. For a team like the Warriors that almost integrates collective passes and running into their bone marrow, ordinary assisting defense methods are basically useless.
There is no doubt that the Warriors are one of the teams that NBA cannot defend, otherwise this team would not have averaged more than 115 points per game for three consecutive seasons, and even averaged nearly 120 points per game in one season.
Of course, the Warriors' offense is basically undefensive for the Jazz. Of course, Lin Han's personal offense is also basically undefensive for the Warriors. Without anyone's help, Spreville began the third quarter before the game, the guy who clamored before the game to let the whole world know that he is powerful will continue to be destroyed by Lin Han.
Although Lin Han was also very uncomfortable in the offense, when the third quarter ended, Lin Han's scored more than 45 points. Lin Han made 6 of 10 shots in the third quarter and scored 15 points. Lin Han's scored in the third quarter had reached 48 points. Lin Han made a total of 30 shots in the first three quarters, made 19 of 30 shots, and scored 48 points!
When the third quarter ended, when DJ on the scene posted such a number to the fans of the game, the Jazz fans on the scene were in an uproar again. Obviously, Lin Han is likely to set a record of 50 points in the playoffs in this game!
You know, even though Malone is very powerful, the Jazz's master has never scored 50 points in the playoffs. Even Chamberlain, the 50-point playoff game in the playoffs, has only 4 times. Jordan is now the player with the most 50+ NBA playoffs, with a total of 7 times.
Lin Han now scored 48 points in three quarters, and scoring 50 points in this game is almost a foregone conclusion, and it is even possible to break Jordan's highest scoring record of 63 points in the playoffs!
So although at the end of the third quarter, although the Jazz's leading advantage changed from 5 points to 3 points, and the score difference was narrowing, Jazz fans were still extremely crazy.
"Larry, it seems that Lin Han really may break the highest score record in the playoffs in this game!"
When Lin Han ended with the cheers of all the fans at the end of the third quarter, Collins on the sidelines also said excitedly, and after Collins finished speaking, Larry Bird also smiled and nodded.
He hoped that Lin Han could break Jordan's record, because Jordan's record was won in front of him and in front of his team, although Jordan lost in that round of the series.
Of course, at this time, the fans on the sidelines were crazy about Lin Han's 50 points in the first playoffs, and were even excited about witnessing another 60 points in the playoffs. However, the old Nelson on the sidelines was a little surprised and stunned for a while after hearing Lin Han scored 48 points in 30 shots in the third quarter. Especially when Lin Han returned to the bench and sat on his head, gasping loudly, the head coach of the Warriors was quite satisfied at this time.
"Although this little guy's offensive ability does exceed my expectations, everything is still under control. From 20 points in the first quarter to 13 points in the second quarter to 15 points in the third quarter, this guy's offensive efficiency is still beginning to decline."
When he looked at Malone on the side, Old Nelson's smile became even happier.
Of course, at this time, just as Old Nelson was observing the Jazz locker room, the Warriors and Jazz substitutes were still fighting on the court. When the time came within 9 minutes, after the first official timeout, when both sides replaced all their starting players to prepare for a final fight in the fourth quarter.
At this time, the old Nelson, who was almost sitting in his seat in the audience, actually stood up.
"The Warriors' game only starts now!" (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
