Chapter 31 The new sign of the nba

On November 5, 1993, US time, the Salt Lake City Delta Center Arena, a new stadium that can accommodate nearly 20,000 fans, was almost full at this time. Jazz fans can always be said to be one of the craziest fans in the entire NBA. Although they are not as good as most fans in terms of money, such as New York, Los Angeles and even Miami, they have to support the team's first game of the new season, no matter what.

"It's really amazing. Is this where my brother plays basketball? It's so crazy."

Unlike other ordinary Jazz fans, the three Asian girls in the middle of the stands in the Delta Center Stadium did not join the crazy shouts of these fans at this time, but looked around curiously. It seemed that these three girls were here to watch the Jazz game on site for the first time.

And in addition to these three new special female fans, today, there are many equally strange fans at the Utah Delta Center Arena.

For an NBA regular season, unless it is a Christmas game, Jordan vs. Knicks or Jordan vs. Lakers, an ordinary NBA regular season press seat will never be satisfied. For most teams, the press seats in the stadium stands are basically two or three kittens. Except for local reporters, who would have come from far to pay attention to the Jazz and Mavericks? One is the sixth in the last game of the West, and the other is the bottom of the West last season, and there is no desire to pay attention to it.

But today, in this game with the Jazz, almost one-third of the NBA reporters in the United States gathered, and half of the other two-thirds of the reporters were in Charlotte. Because the Bulls will play away against the Hornets, many people want to see what the Bulls will look like without Jordan, while the other half are scattered in other league games.

"Haha, don't let us down today. Since Michael left the NBA, this Chinese kid has become the 'dear' of major media. Tomorrow, the entire page of our newspaper and basketball version will now be based on him. It would be better that this kid will be played with a big score, and it would be better to announce his withdrawal from the NBA immediately."

"Don't talk nonsense, okay? What's the matter with withdrawing from the NBA? Michael is no longer there. Is it easy for us to find a player with news value? Now his 'popularity' is not worse than Anfini at all. We will still count on him and Anfini in the next season. It should be said that it is best that all the forward and guard players in the league will teach him a lesson once when they meet him, so that we can continue to report."

"Yes, I was beaten by all the forward and guard players of the league teams once. This is indeed a good focus. I think our readers will also like it very much. Then this game is the first episode of this serialization. I have thought of the name of this serialization, and it is called 'The NBA Passion of Chinese Boy'"

When the reporter finished speaking, almost all the other reporters around laughed. For the NBA who lost Jordan, they were all looking for someone who could replace Jordan. Hardaway had such potential, but he did not have enough background. But with Lin Han as a harlequin, he became much more plump.

"Hahaha, stop laughing, look, that kid is out, the first player to play at home"

Just as these unconventional and mean media reporters laughed loudly in the press room, Lin Han wore a No. 8 jersey and came out of the player channel. As a newcomer to the team, Lin Han considered himself the first to play. The five starters this time, the other four are current All-Star players and former All-Star players. In other words, they are all big names.

However, although this is the Jazz's home court, before Lin Han came out, the Jazz's live fans were also shouting for the team's victory, but when Lin Han appeared, the Delta Center Stadium was terrible. The only fans who cheered for Lin Han's appearance were Lin Han's sisters. It can be said that for Lin Han, such a situation was absolutely embarrassing, but Lin Han didn't care much about such embarrassment. He was already mentally prepared, so he quickly waved to his family's stands and showed no expression. His face was as deep as water. No one knew what the rookie was thinking.

Compared with the silence of Lin Han when Lin Han appeared, when Lin Han's teammate Tom Chambers came on, although this guy was also a new player to the team, he was a Utah native, so the shouts this guy received made Lin Han feel incredible. As for the three Jeff Malone, Stockton and Karl Malone who came out in the back, these three were originally the team's leading players in the previous few seasons. It can be said that the entire Jazz's starting lineup was really the only weird one, Lin Han. Because Jerry Sloan and other team players endorsed Lin Han, these Jazz fans would not continue to boo Lin Han at home, but would not support him.

"Okay, man, don't show off your bad face, laugh, we will definitely win this game."

After all the Jazz's starters appeared, the postman Malone also patted Lin Han with a calm face at this time and said with a smile. Finally, under the attention of several big shots, Lin Han reluctantly smiled, but no matter how you look at this smile, it was extremely bitter.

"The Jazz starters in this game are center Chambers, power forward Karl Malone, small forward Lin Han, shooting guard Jeff Malone, and organization defender Stockton. It seems that Coach Sloan is preparing for a crazy attack in this game."

Rich Adubatu, the head coach of the Mavericks last season, led the Mavericks to a terrifying record of 2 wins and 27 losses last season. Finally, the former Mavericks' head coach was fired more than two months after the season began. According to his performance in leading the team at the Mavericks, no team is willing to ask him to coach in recent years, so this fat and fat old man was invited by ABC as a commentator.

Although he was unsuccessful as a coach at the Mavericks, he led the Pistons to a record of 12 wins and 58 losses in one season, which was also a very failure. Not to mention the Mavericks, he led the Mavericks to the top three for three consecutive seasons, and he even started with 2 wins and 27 losses last season. However, after all, Adubatu is an old coach who has been in the industry for decades, and this guy still has the eyesight.

The Jazz have been one of the most stable teams in the NBA in recent seasons. Last season, there are always four players who have not started the team. One of them is the team's center Mark Eaton over the years. This is one of the greatest blockers in NBA history. The winner of the two best defensive player in the league is called the guy who can block shots while standing. It is the most important barrier for the Jazz inside. However, this barrier has been retired. The Jazz inside lacks an important defensive player. Although Malone is a superstar, it has never been an excellent inside barrier. Therefore, generally speaking, the inside of the Jazz and Malone should be a defensive player, but in the end, Chambers is one of the best offensive insiders in the league before.

As for the Jazz's outside, because Jeff Malone and Stockton are not players in the defensive gate, the Jazz's starting small forwards were often the team's outside defense gates to slap the opponent's strongest outside players, but now they have been replaced by Lin Han. The Jazz used an offensive lineup as soon as they came up, completely ignoring the Mavericks' offensive threat.

In fact, the Mavericks' offensive threat is indeed very low, and as the former head coach of the Mavericks, Adubatu, is very clear.

"The Mavericks' starting lineup in this game is starting center Darren Monningsta, power forward is Puopaye Jones, small forward is Jamal Mashburn, and two defenders are Jim Jackson and Derek Hapa."

After finishing reading the Mavericks' starting lineup, Adubatu also sighed. Since the Mavericks brought great glory to the team, the team has been extremely obsessed with the outside double gun team building model, almost completely ignoring the role of inside players, resulting in the Mavericks having started calling out the Golden Three Guns, but apart from the outside three guns, there is no one in the inside. The two inside players who start the Mavericks are not good at attacking and defense, which is also the reason why the Jazz's Sloan dares to play against the attack.

Even this Mavericks are not a problem with the inside, because the rookie Jamal Marshburn arrives, the team's only excellent point guard, former NBA All-Star player Fat Liv, was also brought to the bench. In his opinion, the Mavericks want to play three shots in this game, and the final result is likely to be three shots and they are played to death by themselves.

"It seems that this guy, Quinn Buckner, can't stay in the Mavericks' head coach position for a long time."

Looking at the Mavericks' extremely chaotic lineup, Adubatu thought to himself with some emotion, and finally looked at the Chinese boy who was warming up on the court. The only chances of the Mavericks winning in this game were that Marsh was able to defeat Lin Han and completely disrupt the Jazz's rhythm and arrangement.

At this time, Mashburn, who was warming up at the other end of the stadium, did think so. This guy was warming up, and his eyes looked at Lin Han could almost eat people.

When the two teams warmed up and both sides stood in place to jump the ball, Lin Han also noticed Marshburn's almost snatching eyes, but Lin Han still had no expression on his face.
