Chapter 292: Lin Han, who wants to soar to the sky!

(Thank you for your support, thank you very much for your support to the fisherman and the legendary creator. I wish all book friends a happy New Year!)

"There seems that there are not many fans coming to the team's training hall today. It seems that everyone is used to the team's recent performance. It's really tummy. Can you not be so arrogant as a mess in New York? Bichi!"

"Forget it, who has made the Lakers perform so well in recent times? Look, even our own fans are like this, can you still let others not say it? I think we should keep our mentality more stable this season, otherwise you may not be angry this season. You haven't seen many media say that our team can win 15 games this season, which performance is already against the sky? So, you should be more open-minded and endure it. Which team in NBA can have no low period?"

"What nonsense do you say? What does it mean to endure and just go through. If the Lakers just lose, it's fine, I can endure it, but are the Lakers just losing? Are they just losing? This team plays like shit! Can such a Lakers endure?!"

On October 20, 1994, on the tenth day after the Magic returned to the team, the Lakers players came to the team's training hall early in the morning to train. Recently, the Lakers' performance in the preseason has been very bad. Well, maybe it shouldn't be described as very bad, or even as terrible.

A brand new team, almost all the players are new players, and even the team's head coach is the new head coach for only one week. The team's assistant coach is also the team's new assistant coach. It is understandable that the team's performance is not good or encounters many difficulties in the initial stage, and everyone is not a fool. It is impossible to really let the Lakers compete for the championship and win every game, but at least the performance of this team must make people see even a little hope?

In NBA, whether a team can win is indeed not a decision for the team itself, especially when the team is very weak, which is even more so. However, whether a team can play a temperament that makes people see hope is something that players and the team can decide.

Now the Lakers can use young and newcomers as reasons for failure. The same young and newcomers are also reasons for success. If this Lakers can play very strongly, giving people the vitality of young and young teams. This team has been in a bad position for a season last season, and the acceptance of Lakers fans has actually increased this season. After all, the whole world says they are the most bearish team in the NBA. As fans, what else can they do? They insist that their teams are not bearish in their record? Anyway, they have been in a bad position for a season. There is nothing to do with the rest of this season. Many Lakers fans are actually willing to think so.

It's just obvious that when the Lakers lost 25 points to the Kings at home 81-106 on October 12, they lost to the Clippers, a terrible enemy in the city, on October 14. The score was also extremely terrible 87-98, and they also lost more than ten points. The Clippers and the Kings, these two are one of the weakest weak brigades in the West last season!

Obviously, the Lakers have considered strength when choosing preseason opponents. Most NBA teams will choose opponents in the same zone during preseason. This will facilitate both sides. The close distance is very important for pre-match training. No team is willing to fly around the world in preseason training. The Lakers obviously added a setting that cannot be too strong in strength in addition to the setting of the same zone. Otherwise, with the strength of this team, there is no need to play. Even though they know that they can't beat the Suns and the supersonics, they have to get to them. This is not a question of death.

Therefore, although the Lakers' preseason this season is decided by the league, like other teams, the league only considers whether the two sides are in the same zone or near distance in the preseason opponents of other teams, but they really take care of the Lakers. So after the preseason matchup came out, even the public opinion in the NBA mocked the league's care for the Lakers and the Bulls. Of course, in the West District, the league takes great care of the Lakers, and in the East District, the league has certainly to take care of the Bulls.

If the media and fans all over the world mock the league for taking care of the Lakers and the Bulls, if the Lakers have excellent record, such as the Bulls, after Jordan returns, this team can kill all sides, then nothing is wrong. Although everyone will mock, as long as you win, even if the other party mocks it, it will mock it. After all, proving that you can win the weak team will prove that you may not lose when facing the strong team. So what can you do if the league takes care of it?

So, when the preseason starts this season, media around the world are mocking the Bulls and Lakers, the Bulls and Jordan are slapping the face all the way. First, they defeated the Heat 107-90 at home on October 11, and then defeated the Bucks away on the 13th, then defeated the Nets, the 76ers and the Washington Bullets in a row, achieving five consecutive victories in the preseason. Now fans and media in the United States no longer mocked the Bulls and Jordan, but have become looking forward to the showdown between Jordan and Grant Hill on October 21.

Because these two are the best players and rookies in the pre-season this season, although Jordan has not played for a year, it is obvious that after the pre-season starts, the Bulls legendary player performed very well. It can be seen that the baseball team in Chicago has been accusing Jordan of only focusing on his own basketball training and even not participating in the baseball team's team training class. Although Jordan still seems to be a little unfamiliar with the game, there is no way to do it. After all, he has been missing a whole year of games. But even so, in the first five games of the Bulls, Jordan averaged 25 points per game 24 minutes and a shooting percentage of more than 48%.

As for Grant Hill, the No. 3 pick by the Pistons this year, his performance is also excellent. If the Bucks rookie Glen Robinson made a crazy move with a resentment in the preseason, just like Lin Han last year, then this year's Grant Hill was like Hardaway last year. And compared to Hardaway, he did even better. When he averaged 30 minutes per game, the Pistons rookie was able to average 15 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists per game. In addition, there are 1, 5 steals and 1 block. Whether it is offense, defense, offense or organization, it is extremely comprehensive. This is also the Pistons, a team that is considered the bottom three in the league this season, actually scored a good record of 3 wins and 2 losses in the preseason.

This year, the Pistons are considered the third weakest team in the NBA, so which team is the second weakest team in the NBA? Of course, it is the Timberwolves. Now the three weakest teams in the entire league are the Lakers, the Timberwolves and the Pistons, which is recognized. In the end, the Pistons look like they performed well in the preseason, but what about the Timberwolves and the Lakers?

Of course, the Lakers are very miserable, but the Timberwolves have been quite good recently because of the Lakers. Why is that?

Because the Lakers lost to the Kings and Clippers in the first two games in a row. After losing to the Mavericks, who were weaker than the Kings and Clippers in the third game, this is the Mavericks. Although this team added a Kidd after Mashburn and Jim Jackson, this team is like the Lakers, an extremely young team, even younger than the Lakers. However, when the game between the Lakers and the Mavericks began, everyone could see that the Mavericks seemed to have a rising vitality this season. The Lakers were completely defeated by the Mavericks, and in the end they still lost to the Mavericks with a big score of 90 to 106!

Losing to the Mavericks. Lakers fans and players can also hypnotize that the Mavericks we lost is not the 13-69-loss team last season. The core of this team has changed from two to three. The head coach of their team has also become the coach Dik Mota, one of the most experienced head coaches of the NBA. If you may not be familiar with the others, but if you are the master of Jazz head coach Jerry Sloan and assistant coach Fier Johnson, you will know who this guy is, and he is also a teacher! The NBA champion head coach is called the best three in one goal after Jerry Sloan won the best head coach and won the championship. He and his two trained disciples are all the best head coaches in the league. It can be seen that the Mavericks are really ready to do a big game this season.

However, if you can teach an apprentice like Jerry Sloan, you can see what his coaching style is. It is really hard to say whether this old coach can shock the three super young players in the team, but one thing is certain. The Lakers are now inferior to the Mavericks.

In the preseason, there were three consecutive defeats, and even the Mavericks lost. In many people's eyes, the Lakers should have bottomed out and rebounded, right? But what made Lakers fans laugh was that the team was beaten 98-80 by the Timberwolves in the home game against the Timberwolves on October 18, losing to the Timberwolves by 18 points. This is the Timberwolves. If many American media listed the Lakers as the weakest team in the league at the beginning, although Lakers fans could not refute it, they still had some luck thinking that this was a black wind brought by the New York media. Even if the Lakers were trashed, they would not be like that. However, when the team lost to the Timberwolves in front of 20,000 spectators in the forum arena, some Lakers fans even started crying.

There is no way. The Lakers have even lost the Timberwolves at home. What else can I do?

So, the day after the team lost to the Timberwolves, the front page headline of the New York Times Sports Edition was: Ten wins in the season are worrying? Causal cycle? Lin Han will break the league's worst record in the season!

Although the New York Times is somewhat sensational when the Lakers are hard to come by for ten wins in a single season this season, even the most loyal Lakers fans are already speechless. Not to mention nothing, they even stop thinking about it. This Lakers are simply terrible.

When Rodman was absent for some reason, the Lakers' inside team was Lin Han's two younger brothers, also known as the most tragic starting inside team in the history of the Lakers and the history of the league. As for the outside line, it is because the Magicians have not resumed training and cannot play for the time being, so it is Lin Han, Dominic Wilkins and Van Eksel. This is the Lakers' regular tactical combination. However, because it is a preseason, the player combination is not fixed. Generally speaking, for most NBA non-rookies, most of the NBA players only play 25 minutes in a game. Preseason, especially in the preseason games, no team's star is desperate. Even Jordan, a player who urgently needs to find a feeling in the game, only 25 minutes per game.

So the preseason players are indeed very chaotic in matching, and the team will also take the opportunity to adjust some tactics. Of course, for this Lakers, it is difficult for them to adjust any tactics, because this team has no tactics so far, or it is still the superstar singles tactics of Lin Han and Dominic Wilkins.

Such tactics are actually the best tactics for the Lakers now. Moreover, when Lin Han and Dominic Wilkins were on the court, even though other Lakers players were indeed trash, the Lakers did not fall too far behind. They even led many times, but after these two people went down, it was completely different, almost all of them were in a wave!

In this case, the Lakers lost four consecutive games, which is not without a chance to win. As long as Lin Han and Dominic Wilkins play for more than 40 minutes in a game, the Lakers will definitely win one or two goals, but it is obvious that if the Lakers really dare to let Lin Han and Dominic Wilkins play for 40 minutes in the preseason, then the terrible Lakers will be hacked even worse.

It's like being more than 30 points ahead of the opponent in the NBA game, but he still tried hard to get to the main force, which can be said to be crazy.

Although the Lakers lost four games, they were crazy about losing. But they were just a record, and their people were not that crazy.

But even though he was not crazy, the atmosphere inside the Lakers at this time can be imagined.

When the Lakers' home game against the Trail Blazers on October 20, 1994, when the players came to train early in the morning, Lin Han could clearly see that the entire Lakers' team was in a low mood. This was not just those non-Lin Han's younger brothers, but even Lin Han's younger brothers were in a bad mood at this time.

In fact, no one in the NBA wants to be scolded so badly when losing. You should know that Lin Han’s younger brothers are like Aaron Williams or Tyron Cobin, who followed Lin Han to the Jazz. How could the Jazz have been so badly the Lakers last season? I’m afraid that the Lakers will not lose more games in a month if they lose in a season last season.

Therefore, although Lin Han's power can suppress these players on the training ground, the bad atmosphere in the Lakers training ground will not change because of Lin Han's power. Lakers players are indeed afraid of Lin Han, but they will not deliberately maintain any false high emotions because of losing. In fact, if Lin Han's own character has not been soaring in recent times, if the character has increased rapidly when he came to the Lakers this offseason this year, then in recent times, after the preseason of the Lakers, Lin Han's character can be described as flying!

From July to October, Lin Han's character increased by 20%, which is already a lot. At least Lin Han's character has exceeded 40 points overall again. From October to now, in just 20 days, Lin Han's character has increased by 15 points. Obviously, as long as this month ends, Lin Han's character has exceeded 60 points is almost a foregone conclusion. If the Lakers can continue to lose wildly, even when the regular season begins, Lin Han feels that his character will rise to 80 points.

It's just obvious that neither Lin Han nor the Lakers could enjoy this feeling of losing. Lin Han was used to being scolded, and it didn't matter, but others could not be the same as Lin Han.

In this case, it is time for the team to have such a thing to test the ability of a head coach. At this time, Magic Johnson, the head coach of the team, is somewhat unsatisfactory. After all, he is a coach rookie. Although the players have rich experience, when did he encounter such a situation as a player? The team lost all the way and there was no hope of winning. Except for a few or two people, the team's strength is not even enough for the starting lineup of the bottom team.

Moreover, because there are too many new players on the team, and now they can't even get familiar with each other, so what else can they talk about? What tactics are there? The head coach can't do much besides encouragement. Unless the Magician really endures the scolding and let Lin Han play for more than 40 minutes in a game, it's useless. In this case, it's better to adjust the psychological conditions of other players of the team first, such as when Lin Han and Dominic Wilkins came, and then played very awkwardly. He is a player who needs to have the ball in his hands. With Lin Han and Dominic Wilkins' presence, Van Eksier needs to play more without the ball. If he can play a very good off-ball offense, with his personal ability, he wouldn't be ignored in last year's draft, and finally was selected by the Lakers. At least Van Eksier can't play without the ball now.

So, when the new season began, one of the Lakers' biggest discoveries last season, lost their most familiar position at the beginning of the season, and was originally a lunatic. In the end, he became the fool in the words of the media and fans now.

When this guy was on the court, he would just stand on the court and stare stupidly. In the end, even Magic Johnson put him on the bench. The time with Lin Han and Dominic Wilkins was staggered, and this player, who was not sure if he was stimulated, did not show the aggressiveness of last season.

Of course, this is not the only problem for the Lakers now. For example, the team's inside Rodman has not returned yet. For example, another superstar of the team, Dominic Wilkins, has almost no communication with Lin Han on the court. If Lin Han tried to pass the ball at the beginning of this season and could also pass a lot of beautiful passes, then Minnik Wilkins did not have the key to pass the ball at all. As long as the basketball is in his hands, he will definitely not be able to get it out. Just like Lin Han last season, he was a ball-right black hole.

Therefore, although Dominic Wilkins is second only to Lin Han in data, but this does not mean that his performance is good enough. This veteran may not have regarded himself as a Lakers player. He just came here to spend time and hopes to be selected into that lineup in two years with his identity as a Lakers player. With Dominic Wilkins' confidence, as long as the Lakers and the Celtics don't criticize him, with his NBA performance and his strength at the peak, he will definitely be able to enter the top 50. Therefore, for the Lakers who have no hope now, he does not have any need to really perform well, as long as the data is good.

After all, if he really wants to compete for the championship, even if the champion team doesn't want him, he can go to some strong teams, such as the Spurs. Spurs general manager Vicky appreciates him very much. Although Dominic Wilkins is a cancer, he is very dedicated. Vicky likes dedicated players. The current performance of this cancer in the Lakers is actually a kind of professionalism. In training, he completes his training conscientiously and shows his strength in the game. Therefore, when Dominic Wilkins does this, even Lin Han who wants to hit him can't find any reason.

When Lin Han himself didn't have a cancer for the time being, Dominic Wilkins was still a cancer in the team. How could Lin Han endure it? Even if the team really needed a cancer, it should be Lin Han, not his Dominic Wilkins. It was just different from Rodman. This guy was so normal that he couldn't find a reason to repair him, which made Lin Han really depressed.

I have to say that when he was in the Jazz team, he was not the boss of the team. He really wanted to be the boss of the team. He was not the leader of the team, and he also really wanted to be the leader of the team. Now it seems that it is not that easy to truly be the leader and boss of a team, especially when it is extremely difficult to build your own team with one hand.

Now Lin Han can understand why when he was in the Jazz, Malone and Stockton would be so resistant to their boss and leader, because it was too difficult to build a championship-level team from scratch and become this championship-level team. The price was too much. Because he paid a lot, he cherished it very much. In Lin Han's opinion, he won the championship for the team. The biggest contributor to the team last season was him. He paid the most for the team, so what do he asks if he wants to become the boss and leader?

Question? It's obvious that in Malone and Stockton's view, even if Lin Han was the team's biggest contributor last season, it was still insignificant compared to their comeback in more than ten years. It would be impossible for Lin Han to use such a reason to abdicate. Unless they were driven away, they would rather ruin the team they built by themselves than let Lin Han pick the fruits. This is also the reason why most of the team's new superstars and old superstars were in the end. Most of the time, they were the result of the death of the new superstars. The new superstars took it for granted, but the old superstars didn't think so.

Now Lin Han is experiencing the pain of Jordan establishing the Bulls and the Double Devils establishing the Jazz. The difference is that the head coaches of the Jazz and the Bulls seem to be slightly better than those of the Magic, but the management of the Bulls and Jazz is not as good as those of the Lakers. So everyone is actually quite the same.

Therefore, although the Lakers have not performed well in recent times, Lin Han has not lost confidence because he knows very well that this is an inevitable process. Although in the game against the Trail Blazers on October 20, the Lakers lost again at home and suffered a five-game losing streak. When Lin Han and the Lakers players left the court, even booed by a few Lakers fans, Lin Han's face was a little cold, but it was quite normal.

Lin Han is not unfamiliar with hearing boos at his home court. When the Jazz first started last season, Lin Han was booed by Jazz fans due to media reasons. However, with Lin Han's current status and still hearing boos at his home court, Lin Han was still a little bit unhappy.

Even after the game, both the Magician and Jerry West comforted Lin Han, it was impossible to completely ignore it.

“It’s really a bad start”

Thinking about the terrifying attack from the American media tomorrow after the failure of this game, Lin Han also smiled bitterly when he returned home.

Fortunately, Lin Han entered the system space. Especially when he came to the training ground to see Isaiah Thomas, Lin Han's face had recovered. He did not dare to put on airs to his teacher.

Lin Han is still very awe of this pre-League legend who is good at being a teacher. Just because other legends of the King of Football don't give Lin Han any good looks, he needs to take it seriously.

So, although Lin Han was still a little tired after a loss-making preseason game, he didn't even do the system to recover first, so he summoned Isaiah Thomas directly. The legendary teacher asked Lin Han to summon two more teams to let Lin Han show the achievements of his recent learning again, Lin Han was really meticulously completing the arrangements of the former Pistons legend.

"Your breakthrough pass is good, whether it is the speed during breakthrough or the speed and accuracy during passing, your vision is very good, but your passing time is really bad. Lin, the best passing time is not when your teammates really have an open position. When your teammates really have an open position, you have missed the best passing time."

In Lin Han's opinion, the vision talent he had always expected before could make him soar to the sky, especially when he stood in front of Isaiah Thomas again. For Lin Han, he really looked forward to Isaiah Thomas saying that he had been out of sight before. Lin Han was a genius, but what made Lin Han really speechless was that even though he had a very good vision talent, the former legend of the Pistons just said that his talent was average, and when Lin Han learned legendary skills from him.

This guy actually said that Lin Han's qualifications can only barely learn his breakthrough pass and passes after double-teaming. As for other passes, the Pistons legend's words made Lin Han dying.

"Lin, you are a very hard-working player. You can actually develop such a good vision the day after tomorrow. But Lin, you have to know that sometimes basketball requires talent."

When Lin Han looked up at the former Piston legend at the forty-five degrees again, Lin Han was even speechless.

Of course, no matter what, although Lin Han was hurt by Isaiah Thomas again and had self-esteem, this Pistons legend said it well. In terms of his breakthrough and pass-through skills alone, under the guidance of Thomas in recent times, he has arrived at lv2. If Lin Han is willing to use his skill points, he can even directly improve his skills to lv3, but if he practices the breakthrough and pass-through to the highest level, he may not be able to truly use the breakthrough and pass-through.

According to Isaiah Thomas, passing the ball does not mean organizing an offense. It seems that Lin Han's ball quotation seems to be really anxious.

However, just like the Lakers were almost beaten forward in the preseason in recent times, Lin Han was constantly hit by Thomas and Lin Han always believed that one day, he and his Lakers would have a chance to soar!

Lin Han has no doubts about this idea! (To be continued...)
