(Yesterday a book friend in the group asked if the Doom Card permanently reduces the character level by 10 points. The character level is the same as the attribute point, and it is not a fixed value. The basic attribute point of ordinary people is 20. The maximum quality of ordinary people is 100, but it does not mean that the maximum quality level can only be 100. The upper limit of character level is a variable. There is no upper limit, so there is no lowering limit. Instead, the normal quality level is reduced by 10 points. The reason why fisherman uses the two words permanent is because some items will temporarily reduce the character level for a period of time in the future. A little difference is that these words don’t cost money. It’s the last day, please give me a monthly ticket)

"Boss, you really want to play against Malone in this game? Do we want to change positions?"

Although the Jazz's center is not a super center, PJ Brown, who now occupies the starting center of the Jazz, is definitely more than a little better than Antonio Harvey in the jump ball.

After both sides jumped, the Lakers, who had never thought that their team's inside jumping successfully, quickly stood in the defensive position. Even Antonio Harvey quickly returned to his defensive position after jumping the ball. It can be seen that this guy probably gave up when he jumped the ball just now, just preparing to return to defense quickly.

The Jazz are probably also aware of the Lakers' current situation. When attacking, Stockton, who controlled the team's rhythm, was not ready to launch a fast attack, but pushed the ball to halftime at a very normal rhythm.

For the Jazz, Lin Han faced Malone in this game. If the Jazz really played fast, Malone might not be able to beat Lin Han, but if they played in the position, even ten Lin Hans could not stop Malone. Stockton was still very confident in this regard!

Of course, Stockton and the Jazz are very confident in Malone's match against Lin Han, but the Lakers are different. Except for Rodman, who is watching Lin Han from a distance, the other Lakers players almost deliberately lean towards Lin Han after they stood firm in their defensive positions. Obviously, they just wanted to create some pressure on Malone.

Even at this time, after looking at Rodman, Antonio Harvey even gritted his teeth and wanted to change positions with Lin Han, but in the end, Lin Han shook his head and refused.

"Don't worry. That guy won't do anything to me in this game."

After Lin Han finished speaking, Antonio Harvey had to stand aside. Lin Han himself was going to play against Malone. He had no choice. The only thing he could do now is to watch from the side, hoping to make up for Lin Han a little.

And just as Antonio Harvey was standing next to PJ Brown and thinking about the opportunity to make up for Lin Han, Lin Han and Malone had already faced at the free throw line!

As one of the strongest power forwards in the league, he can even be said to be the strongest power forward in the offensive. What is Malone's strongest offense? Many people say that he was a mid-range shot after pick-and-roll with Stockton. In fact, as one of the strongest inside scorers in the league, his offensive methods are extremely comprehensive. Apart from three-pointers, he is proficient in almost all scoring methods. Note that not all scoring methods, but proficient in all scoring methods!

Of course, if this guy didn't have a bad habit, that is, he would have some cowardice when he encountered a player who was taller than him. As an inside player, Malone was almost perfect on the offensive end. It was precisely because of such excellent offensive methods and comprehensive offensive ability that the Jazz's leading player was like a god when facing a defensive player who was not as tall as his. Even Rodman's two best defensive player that year was called an ATM by Malone, which shows the horror of this guy.

Facing Lin Han, Malone has many ways to defeat Lin Han. This is not false. If Lin Han is close to him, he can break through the ball, and his ability to break through the ball will definitely not be worse than that of Olajuwon. If Lin Han is not close to him, he can even shoot anywhere in the three-point line, and his shooting percentage can reach more than 50%. Even after the three-point line is shortened this season, this guy is like Jordan, and his three-point shooting rate has been accurate this season. Jordan's three-point shooting rate can be more than 40% this season, and he is called the biggest beneficiary after the league's three-point shooting rate is not as high as Jordan, but he also has a shooting rate of 30%. Of course, this guy doesn't take many shots.

This is just a difficult place for Lin Han to defend in the middle and long distances. If Malone is allowed to reach the low post, this guy will have more lethality. Malone no longer knows that he is one of the players with the most free throws in the league for several consecutive seasons. This guy averaged more than 10 free throws per game for six consecutive seasons. Malone will indeed not be very adaptable to those who are taller than him, but facing Lin Han who is not as tall as him is absolutely violent.

Rodman's power is said to be the strongest player in the league about 2 meters. If he simply compares the power of the lower set, Rodman can even entangle Olajuwon, but even so, if Rodman does not use any means, he may not be able to completely withstand Malone, let alone Lin Han!

Before the game started, Collins and the Magicians on the sidelines were worried about Lin Han. This was not fake. Lin Han could defeat Malone as a defense, but one-on-one defense is really unlikely to be Malone's opponent.

Every player who faces Malone, especially those who are not as tall as Malone, is absolutely incredibly embarrassed on the court and on the defensive end. Malone uses various means to tease them in the game, and in this game, obviously, Malone is also preparing to tease Lin Han in the game!

"Boy, wait a moment, I will let you know how powerful I am!"

When Malone used his back to lean Lin Han tightly against Stockton outside the three-point line, he looked excited. He had really waited for this moment for a long time!

In the last game, when he launched a challenge to Lin Han and tried to defeat Lin Han to eliminate Lin Han's influence in the Jazz, he finally encountered Lin Han's complete defeat in the game. Even in one game, he even gave Lin Han almost 10 blocks, which was absolutely a shame!

It was also because of the crushing defeat in that game that as the defending champion, the Jazz, who seemed to have a higher strength, was defeated so hard by the Houston Rockets in the regular season this season in the regular season. He was also questioned after the Jazz lost Lin Han.

If he hadn't seen the hope of defeating Lin Han in the past, and even in order to get votes from Jazz fans, he would give Lin Han a false good face, which made him very unwilling. However, there was no way. Lin Han was not a pure power forward after all. Even if he could play as a guest player in the inside, as long as the Magician was not stupid, it would be difficult for Lin Han to directly play against him in the game. Although he didn't like Magicians very much, he admitted that Magicians are definitely a smart person and not a fool.

In this case, the possibility of Malone seeking revenge on Lin Han is almost zero, unless he defeats Lin Han from other aspects this season, such as the regular season MVP, the All-Star MVP and the Finals MVP, but these honors are really a bit late and may even be even more difficult.

However, in the end, Lin Han gave Ma Long a chance!

So, when Malone received the ball from Stockton and leaned against Lin Han, Malone was quite excited at this time. Facing Lin Han who was sticking behind him, the Jazz player leaned back with his back, and the huge force directly pushed Lin Han away half a step. Malone also turned around smoothly and faced Lin Han face to face!

And when Malone faced Lin Han one-on-one at the free throw line, the entire center of the Delta was in an uproar!

The scene where Lin Han and Ma Long reconciled as before the game made them very touched. Now, the two are very destined to face each other directly. After the game, no matter what the result is, the two players who have already faced each other directly will always put aside all their grudges, right?!

When I thought of this, under normal circumstances, the Jazz fans on the scene were still shouting the names of Ma Long and Lin Han. When they heard the huge cheers at the scene, Malone, who looked excited, was really unhappy!

What he hated the most was that Lin Han was able to enjoy his honor. Even at his home court, he could not eliminate Lin Han's influence from the hearts of Jazz fans. When he thought of this, Malone, who was originally excited, was already a little angry at this time!

"Boy, come up. If I don't come up, I will shoot!"

When he turned around with his back and leaned on Lin Han, what surprised Ma Long was that Lin Han, who was originally leaning on him, should have been directly pasted. However, in the end, Lin Han not only did not paste it, but after being turned on half a step, Lin Han took a step back and made a defensive move that surprised Ma Long and almost everyone on the scene!

"Eye-seal defense?!"

When Lin Han made a squat-style defensive move with one hand forward with one hand just outside Ma Long's step, although his right hand could not be placed in front of Ma Long's eyes, everyone knew very well that as long as Ma Long jumped and shot, Lin Han would definitely jump up and block his eyes!

This special defensive method basically did not appear again after Lin Han used Payton last season, because players who have not practiced this defensive method are really easy to hurt people, and it seems that the effect is not very good. After Lin Han used it in the game against Payton last season, Payton seemed to have basically no effect except for being criticized by Lin Han. After all, for most top NBA players, when they take off the ball, let alone seal their eyes, even if they let them go.

Close your eyes and they can find where the basket is. This is already a kind of physical muscle memory. If this defense method is useless to first-class players, and not only is it useless, but even gives the opponent space and opportunity to take action, it is basically seeking death. For example, when dealing with Jordan, if you are one step away from Jordan, put Jordan to shoot and prepare to block the eyes, then you are waiting to be shot to death by Jordan. As for those second-rate and third-rate players, there is no need to use this defense method. After all, there are many defense methods in basketball.

Therefore, after this defensive method appeared last season, because the user was Lin Han, who was famous for his eye defense at that time, so this defensive method was originally mocked by a large number of media experts and fans as a ball blind and naively thought that as long as the players he faced could not see the basket, they could not attack. Of course, as Lin Han's defensive strength continued to improve last season, and since then, these American fans and media gradually forgot this defensive method that belongs to Lin Han's "black history".

But this time, when Lin Han was defending Ma Long, he used this defense again, which really surprised many people. Lin Han's current abilities and insights should not be able to compete with him when he first entered the NBA last season, right? Why is this guy so naive?!

"Boy, you didn't give up directly, right? But this is not bad. It's even more embarrassing to save you, hahahahaha."

When Ma Long in front of Lin Han was stunned and came to his senses, he looked at Lin Han who was squatting in front of him and stretched out his right hand to block him, and laughed out loudly.

Collins, McHale and the Magician on the sidelines also shook their heads at this time. Obviously, in their opinion, Lin Han is really a self-destructive act. Giving a superstar in the league has such a lot of room for attack, isn't this asking for death?!

Especially Rodman, who has been paying attention to Lin Han, the Lakers' inside player directly curled his lips disdainfully at this time. He originally thought that Lin Han was telling him how to defend before the game. Judging from Lin Han's domineering words at the time, he might have some special tricks from the opponent's Malone, but now it seems that he is extremely stupid!

"Since you want to embarrass yourself, don't blame me!"

Lin Han's defensive style seems extremely stupid to many people, and Ma Long also thinks so. However, for Ma Long, he will not give Lin Han a chance to change his defense. After coming back to his senses, Ma Long jumped up almost immediately. When Ma Long jumped up, as everyone imagined, Lin Han also jumped up with Ma Long and sealed his right hand in front of Ma Long!

"This ball will definitely be scored!"

After Lin Han successfully sealed his eyes, Ma Long gently pushed the basketball on his hand to the basket, and felt the touch of the instant the basketball left his right hand. Ma Long was very confident. His feel was very good today!

"This ball is going to be in!"

In fact, the arc of Ma Long's attack this time was indeed beautiful, the parabola was beautiful, and Lin Han's eye sealing had almost no interference with him. Even because he gave him a lot of space, Ma Long also received a lot of adjustment time!

So, when Malone took action, seeing the rhythm and arc of this move, the Jazz players on the court and the Jazz coach Jerry Sloan on the sidelines had almost no doubts, especially Jerry Sloan. The Jazz coach looked at Lin Han on the sidelines and shook his head.

If Lin Han did not defend Ma Long alone in this game, but assisted in defending Ma Long, his jazz would have to work hard. Now, when Lin Han abandoned his martial arts skills, then what was waiting for Lin Han would probably be an extremely tragic fate!

Just as Jazz players on the court and Jerry Sloan on the sidelines were ready to meet Malone's hit, Lin Han, who was almost at the same time as Malone, rushed to the basket before Lin Han could react!

This guy is going to grab rebounds?!

"This guy is crazy!"

Ma Long, who was extremely confident in his move, was stunned when he saw Lin Han running wildly to the basket to grab the rebound. Just as Lin Han turned around and grabbed the rebound, the basketball thrown by Ma Long hit the basket with a thud and turned around and turned directly. Ma Long, who was still mocking Lin Han for returning to defend and grab the rebound this time, had already opened his mouth so wide that he could almost put down two eggs!

"What? Didn't enter?"

It would be fine if he just didn't make it. He obviously added a curved shot, and he even brushed it out after a round of shooting on the basket. You should know that with his starting shot and the arc added to the ball when he made a shot, he could almost have more than 70% of the shots that were spinning around the basket with more than 80% of the chances of being able to brush it in!

"Rebounding is mine!"

However, just when Malone was a little surprised and dazed, Lin Han had already captured the rebound from the heads of the two inside centers after Antonio Harvey held up PJ Brown!

In the first offensive and defensive duel between Ma Long and Lin Han, Lin Han defended Ma Long with his eyes very beautifully!

Rodman, who had been watching all this, was almost speechless at this time, and as for Jerry Sloan and Magic Johnson on the sidelines, this was even more so!

If Lin Han just used an eye-blocking defense against Malone, then it could be said that Lin Han was lucky, but when the first quarter game continued, when the Jazz faced the Lakers, especially when Lin Han faced Malone alone to defend Malone, the Jazz seized the opportunity to play madly at Malone, Lin Han not only used eye-blocking for the first time to defend, but almost every defense would be eye-blocking. Even when Malone sat at a low post, Lin Han also had eye-blocking when Malone turned around. Even when Malone turned around and hooking after the back turned, Lin Han also had eye-blocking! Of course, when Malone sat under the basket, Lin Han naturally would not take a step back, but only pressed on Malone, not confronting Malone, and had a hand-to-hand fight with Malone. Just blocking Malone's shot. Lin Han didn't care about anything else!

It can be said that Lin Han's defensive strategy is extremely failure. At least for many professionals on the scene, Lin Han's defense against Ma Long in the first quarter of this game was simply awkward. Not to mention Ma Long, who is at its peak now, even McHale, who has retired, if Lin Han has such a defensive style, he can go up to face Lin Han and hit a 20 or 30 points!

And what about Ma Long?

When the first quarter ended, when the Jazz were playing Malone in the first quarter, the Jazz's leading player gave 2 of 12 shots in the entire first quarter!

"I'm not mistaken, right? Isn't this true? Lin Han actually made Malone score 6 points in a single quarter? And it's a shooting percentage of 2 of 12 shots?!"

Lin Han’s defensive ability is very good, which is true, but no matter what, after Lin Han faces Ma Long on the defensive end, it will definitely be beaten, and what is the final result?!

Not only was Lin Han not beaten by Ma Long, but Ma Long's offense in this game was terrible by Lin Han's defense!

Although Ma Long has made 10 irons in a single quarter, although Ma Long has a record of crazy irons in many games, it is definitely a record of Ma Long's career!

“Is eye-sealing really effective?!”

Thinking of this defensive move that was ridiculed by media experts and even fans across the United States last season, and thinking about Malone's miserable offensive efficiency when facing Lin Han at this time, both Collins and McHale were a little calmer at this time!

Not to mention that these two people couldn't calm down, even if they ended up with Lin Han, Rodman, who played as a small forward in this game, was a little dazed, really dazed!

The Ma Long, who he could not deal with, was really blocked by Lin Han in this game, and it was blocked to death!

Not only that, Lin Han used his own defensive moves to defend Ma Long with his own defensive moves!

When Rodman looked at Lin Han, his eyes were a little different. He used to laugh at Lin Han for bragging, but now, things are not like this at all. This guy really has the ability to teach him how to defend! This young player in the second grade really has the ability to teach him how to defend such a two-time best defensive player!

At least, Lin Han is much better than him in terms of how to defend Ma Long!

"Lin, it's awesome!"

When Lin Han walked down the court, as the head coach of the Lakers, the Magician was really a little involuntarily. In this game with the Jazz, the whole world knew that this was a battle of revenge for the Jazz. Although Malone kept showing kindness to Lin Han before the game, it was just showing kindness. The Lakers were still under great pressure in this game.

This team has lost three consecutive times now. If they continue to lose, although the eighth position in the West is still stable, the team may have a big problem in their confidence. However, even if they want to win in this game, the Jazz's strength is indeed much higher than that of the Lakers. In the last game, Lin Han was super god, and the Lakers won a little, and he could not count on Lin Han's super god in this game!

Even Lin Han's performance in the last three games of the Lakers' losing streak can only be said to be average. Although it is not bad, it is definitely not good. Therefore, before the game, most American media believed that the Lakers continued to lose streak in this game, and even some unconventional media began to call the Lakers to fall out of the playoffs in a month, which is indeed true. The Lakers do have the potential to continue losing streak! Because after the Lakers' away game against the Jazz, the next three games were still a continuous Texas away trip!

After all, the Devil's schedule is not just a talk. Maybe the Lakers will experience a seven-game losing streak!

And now, in this game against the Jazz, after the first quarter, the Lakers actually led the Jazz 6 points away 22-16!

Although the six-point difference is constantly on both teams, especially for the Jazz, the main thing is that Lin Han really defends Malone, which is different. In other words, when the Lakers are facing the Jazz now, they are no longer at a disadvantage. When Lin Han defends Malone on the defensive end, Rodman, who served as a small forward, finally got his wish and became the team's defensive sharp knife. Although his condition has not yet returned to the best, Steve Smith, the third leader of the Jazz, is not much better than Malone in this game. He was taken care of by Rodman in a very embarrassing manner. And this guy clearly wants to regain the confidence he has lost in recent times!

It is precisely because of this that after the end of the first quarter, after the team's two main attack points, Malone and Steve Smith, both were silent, the Jazz, who had a strong offensive attack, only scored 16 points in a single quarter! This score is low enough for the Jazz!

If it weren't for the Lakers' offense, it was still not outstanding enough, after Lin Han dared not take too many attacks on the perimeter, the Lakers' offense was not very good, but even if the Lakers' offense was not good, it would be better than the Jazz!

So. In this game, the Lakers really let the Magic see hope of winning after the first quarter!

"Boss, I didn't expect that your idiot-like defense method would be really useful!"

"Eddie, how did you speak? Can the defensive skills that the boss invented are poor? It's just that those people don't know the goods!"

"That's right, boss, it will take only a while, teach me!"
To be continued...
