Chapter forty-one
"Step more, be more stable, don't be messed up, don't be messed up"
The Jazz naturally attached great importance to the Jazz and Supersonic game, so when the game officially started, Jazz's assistant coach Fier Johnson kept standing on the sidelines and shouting loudly to the Jazz players on the court, which was also a kind of reminder.
The only advantage that the Jazz fights with Supersonics is that the team's core is older and more stable, while the Supersonics core is too young, so if the Jazz wants to win Supersonics, they must take advantage of this point, slowly fight and grind the Supersonics to death. This is the best ending. If you play speed with Supersonics and play impact, it is purely a death-seeking behavior.
Of course, for the Jazz, it is actually very easy to play harder, do not make mistakes, and do not make random moves. Just let the two leading players of the team slowly play pick-and-roll.
But this would be a bit embarrassing, that is, Stockton and Malone can justify not passing the ball to Lin Han. Although Lin Han is the team's No. 2 offensive player second only to Kal Malone, the assistant coach now said that stability overwhelms everything. If Lin Han can make the singles in those cancers, it would be fine, but if he can't make the game, it would be like a mistake and being caught is a fast attack.
"Boy, it seems that your teammates don't trust you very much."
After the game started, Lin Han had almost never received Stockton's shared balls. Even if the ball passed by in his hand, most of them were no longer in the range of the balls. This made Lin Han run back and forth after the game started, which made him very depressed.
Although Lin Han also knew that after he replaced Jeff Malone, the veterans in the team who had a good relationship with Jeff Malone would not buy him, he did not expect that these veterans would act so quickly.
Who said that the Jazz's atmosphere is the best in NBA? Who said that this team has no factional disputes? Lin Han just played two games here and was unhappy with the two major factions in the team. This is really a scam.
"You are the same, you are still a point guard. Every time you see your teammate's request, it will be passed quickly."
Facing the young supersonic point guard Payton who always faced him in this game, Lin Han laughed at him with anger. After Peyton was ridiculed by Lin Han, his face was indeed not very good-looking.
It is indeed a very good thing to say that the overall strength of the Supersonics is strong, but it is not necessarily the case for the players. Especially for players who want to stand out, everyone in the team can score, which means that he cannot rise well, and others will compress his space, because when everyone can score, Payton has no reason to score as a point guard. For the team, others can share the task of scoring, and as a point guard, you just need to defend and pass the ball well.
If Peyton had really didn't care about scoring a few seasons ago, what he needed most was to consolidate his position in the team. His point guard position was McMillan and a strong player in the league point guard position. If he could not prove that he had better defense, better organizational skills and better team contributions than McMillan, even if he was a second-tier pick, it would be difficult for him to defeat McMillan. Now that he has consolidated his position, he has stepped on McMillan hard under his feet.
In this case, Payton also wants to make his data better, and he wants to be the All-Star, and he wants to be recognized by everyone. Not only is his defense like gloves, but his offense is also the top in the league. He wants to stand out, become the top supersonics, and also the top point guard in the league. But now, he still has not found this opportunity, because this year's Supersonics are stronger than in previous years, so it is naturally not easy for him to stand out.
So when Lin Han was ridiculed, Payton, who had a high IQ, was also angry at this time.
"Boy, you'll know after a while. Don't cry at that time."
Looking at Lin Han with a disdain, Payton shouted in his heart with some gritted teeth. At this time, the focus of the whole game was on other supersonic players, and no one noticed that the two supporting players on the court were spraying trash talk to each other here.
"The two teams played too fiercely at the beginning of the game, especially Malone. Almost every goal was like Stockton after pick-and-roll, and it seemed that he had completely forgotten that he still had mid-range shooting ability. He wanted to go to the inside line to damage Kemp. It was so hard. Now the scores on both sides have completely bitten."
"On the contrary, the most anticipated showdown between Lin Crazy and Glove Payton in this game has no intention of starting. In this strong conversation, Lin Han did not get the trust of his teammates. He did not have basketball in his hands and had no chance to attack. Jack, the beginning of this game reached a climax. What do you think?"
"It's obvious that this game is the Jazz's revenge battle. Although before the game, both coach Sloan and Jazz players said that this game was an ordinary regular season, but I have watched the ball for so many years, and there was not much intensity in the regular season game at the beginning, especially the Jazz players' attacks are almost murderous. Of course, the supersonics are similar, so I think this game will definitely be a very exciting game."
"Of course, as for the silence after Lin Fengmao's game, I think this is also a necessity. Although he scored a lot of points in the first two games, he did not prove that he really has the ability to complete such crazy scores under normal circumstances. We have never seen him on the court except for the turn and jump shot after seeing him catch the ball. In this case, facing a strong team and a full-time defensive player, it is difficult for him to get as many opportunities as before."
"Of course, this can also be understood as the teammates' distrust of his ability, or that he has not yet been able to achieve such ability. If he has super abilities, even if Stockton doesn't give him the ball, he can dribble from the backcourt and attack by himself. Jordan often does this with the Bulls, and Drexler, Pippen and others are the same. I think this rookie doesn't have such ability yet."
"Jack, what you mean is that Lin Crazy will soon return to calm down. He is just a routine of sudden outbreak under certain conditions? Just like many NBA players in the past, they suddenly exploded for one or two games and fell silent?"
"Hahaha, it seems to be true in my opinion. I wonder if you ABC needs to change the next U.S. live broadcast list? Maybe you really found the wrong person. He is just an ordinary rookie with ordinary abilities and good luck. He is not Jordan II."
Although Lin Han and Payton became supporting roles on the court, and this strong conversation did not have much of their role, the TV audience and live commentators of this game would not let them go. The showdown between the two of them in this game is the biggest highlight. None of them, now the whole United States is watching whether Lin Han can continue to go crazy.
Soon, the TV audience who watched the fierce battle between the Supersonics and the Jazz in front of the TV, who was a little fascinated by watching the fierce battle between the Supersonics and the Jazz finally saw the first showdown between Gary Payton and Lin Han after the game started for more than 3 minutes. However, this showdown was not Lin Han attacking Payton, but Peyton attacking Lin Han.
The supersonics that Lin Han was ridiculed, could only attack his teammates. Payton, who did not dare to attack, finally found a chance to fight Lin Han alone.
Originally, seeing Payton want to play Lin Han alone, Brian Russell, the younger brother who wiped Lin Han's butt, naturally came to help. Even if he lost his own defender, Lin Han could not embarrass Lin Han. This was the basic enlightenment of a younger brother. However, before he took two steps, Russell was stopped by Lin Han's gesture.
Lin Han is really preparing to defend Payton personally, so when Lin Han doesn't want his teammates to come up to help, the Jazz's wide mouth can almost swallow two eggs. Even Sloan on the sidelines was stunned. What does this kid want to do?
The Jazz were stunned by Lin Han's behavior at this time because they knew that Lin Han's defensive ability would definitely not defend against more than 80% of the league's outside line. Although Payton was not good at offense, he was also a player who could contribute about 12 points per game.
Although Lin Han's defensive posture at this time is very strange, the defensive movements of ordinary defensive players are either straight with their left hand and vertically holding their right hand. This is the most standard defensive posture, but Lin Han is pushing forward with his right hand, as if he wants to cover Payton's eyes?
Although the NBA does not necessarily require defensive players to have standard defensive movements, Lin Han should not think that he could not make a shot by covering Payton's eyes with his right hand?
"Brother, this number 8 is an idiot? This number 8 must be an idiot? Isn't his defensive posture telling the opponent to let him jump shot? Such a defensive posture can't prevent jump shots at all. Will he poke the opponent's eyes when someone jumps? This is a foul."
"Well, Kevin, don't learn from him when you play basketball in the future."
Many fans who watched this game in front of the TV were so wryly smiled by Lin Han's action. Although most of them knew that Lin Han had not been studying basketball for a long time and did not seem to have any defense, such a weird defense still made people laugh.
Lin Han’s current defensive moves are like a Chinese idiom, which is to cover his ears and steal the bell, thinking that the opponent will not be able to make a shot if he covers his opponent’s eyes.
So when the Jazz came to their senses and listened to the crazy laughter of the supersonic fans on the scene, these Jazz players and the Jazz bench on the sidelines all had a sense of embarrassment. Lin Han was really embarrassing.
Of course, Payton, who is an offensive end, naturally could not miss such an opportunity. Lin Han's right hand, who pushed flat, did not have air defense capabilities at all, and Payton could pull up and shoot at any time.
But when Payton pulled up, Lin Han was a little slow, just took a step forward and was unable to jump up. His defensive awareness was too poor, so when everyone thought that Payton was almost an open shot.
At this time, Payton, who was in the air, suddenly "ah" sounded, as if he was suffering huge pain. His hands, who were originally preparing to shoot, were thugs hard, and his whole body seemed to be electrocuted. His hands suddenly lost control of the ball, and the basketball fell down directly.
At this time, the supersonic audience on the sidelines, the referee Bavita on the sidelines, as well as the players and coaches of the Supersonics were stunned by Gary Payton's actions, especially after Payton fell from the air, immediately looking at the referee Bavita and signaling Lin Han to commit a foul, which made the whole game fall silent.
Although I am less than studying, you shouldn't lie to me like this. Everyone knows that there are fake falls in football games, but why did the basketball game start to fake falls? And it's okay to fake falls, but this is not fake falls. Lin Han didn't jump even when he jumped. What's going on with your movements like being hit by a thug when you were shocked? Can you fake it a little more?
So when Bavita saw Peyton glaring at him, he almost blew the fake fall boy a T, but in the end he held it. He was a responsible referee, he must hold it back, and at this time Bavita deliberately pointed to the supersonic half, that is, boy, stop acting, look, the guy who just defended you was on the fast attack.
Finally, Peyton, who felt the little Dingding below him, still had a faint sadness, had to give up his entanglement with Bavita and chase Lin Han.
"Yeah, yeah, very, very good defense. Lin Fengmao completed a defensive task very well, but is he really taking a fast attack? The ball was dribbling at the same speed. Although the ball was pretty good, can he increase the speed a little? Payton has already caught up. As long as Payton catches up with him, it will be a failure. Other players from both teams have followed. Maybe he should slow down a little and hand the ball to his teammates."
As a commentator on the sidelines, the most embarrassing thing is that when a player cannot defend, the player suddenly defended one perfectly. Fortunately, the player's fast attack was too slow. He was caught up by the angry Payton just after crossing the three-point line.
"Boy, this is what you forced me."
After catching up with Lin Han, Little Ding Ding was just now being plotted by Lin Han and almost rushed up as quickly as Lin Han. At this time, Lin Han suddenly stopped suddenly and turned around, then immediately lowered his knees.
Everyone knew that Lin Han was going to play a jump shot in one step in the three-point line. Payton naturally saw that this was the starting position of turning around and jump shot. Soon the supersonic super defensive player jumped up. When facing others, Payton would also consider whether the opponent would be a fake move. He would not even think about it when facing Lin Han.
“Huh?”
But when Payton jumped up hard, Lin Han, who was supposed to jump, suddenly turned around again and then jumped up. At this time, when Lin Han rose, Payton had already fallen.
Fake action, the one Lin Han just now was a fake action!
"idiot"
Looking at the fallen Peyton and Lin Han cursed disdainfully before throwing the basketball out. At this time, Lin Han was completely angry and lowered his IQ. Peyton didn't even think about it and slapped Lin Han hard on his right hand. Lin Han didn't have time to adjust his balance and fell to the ground.
"Beebeep"
After three consecutive whistles, Bavita really saw Payton committing a foul this time, and also saw that Lin Han was not a fake fall. Not only did he give Payton a shooting foul, but he also gave Payton a technical foul. This was an action that intentionally hurt people.
Just as the moment he saw Lin Han fall to the ground, Peyton, who was rational and clear again, finally woke up. Although he regretted his irrationality just now, it was useless.
At this time, just like Payton, there was also a commentator who felt a little ashamed, the supersonic legend insider Hickoma. The commentator couldn't laugh at this time.
Payton lost with one defense and one attack just now!
How can you laugh at this?
