Chapter 72 Is the cancer in the end?

On November 20, 1993, at 11:30 pm, the media room at Madison Square Garden Arena was packed. Although New York is the largest city in the United States and the most developed media industry in the United States is gathered here, it was rarely like today. Such a huge media room was stuffed, and even the corridors outside were full of people.

This is not a New York Knicks and Bulls game, and there is no Jordan involved in this game, and even this game is not even the playoffs. It is just a regular season game between the first in the East and the second in the West. Although it is a strong dialogue, it is absolutely impossible to cause such a huge sensation.

In fact, if the game ends normally, it will not cause much sensation, but the key is, is this game ending normally? Of course not. When Lin Han scored 13 points in the last 35 seconds, many media that were not very interested in this game came from all directions. Many media were not very interested in this game, but also not very interested in the NBA. For example, the Wall Street Journal and the New York reporter from the Xinhua News Agency, Celestial China from the other end of the sea, also came.

Obviously, this game has exceeded the scope of an NBA game due to Lin Han. Although Lin Han performed extremely crazy in the first seven games, it has not really made everyone admit it. Just like Lin Han’s teammates don’t know how long Lin Han will be crazy, and whether he will lose his luck and die directly.

After all, Lin Han is a person who does not have too fast speed, does not have too strong strength, and does not have great extreme bounce. He does not dare to be lucky in the NBA field. This rookie can only be a machine that keeps shooting. Who knows whether this machine will be shut down directly after being touched by the opponent? To put it bluntly, Lin Han has been complaining about why he cannot get the recognition of the media and experts. No matter how many points he scores, those expert media will sneer at him. This is not only that these expert media do not like his playing style, but more importantly, Lin Han’s talent is indeed not very good.

If even a player like Lin Han can succeed in the NBA, then isn't this a slap in the face of these experts? A player who was deprecated by them as having no basketball talent will succeed in the end. Where is their majesty in the future? So even if Lin Han has done a good job, they will come to pick on Lin Han. Don't these experts know that Lin Han averaged more than 40 points per game in the first seven games, which was something that Jordan, Chamberlain and even Kareem and other strong men did not do? Of course, they know who these experts compare to

Everyone knows the horror of Lin Han's current data, but so what if they know? The real shameless person in the world is the person who deliberately pretends to be stupid, just like they treated Jordan back then. Don't they know that Jordan could lead the team to win even with high scores? They know, but as long as Jordan loses, they will say that Jordan scores too high. When Jordan wins a triple-double, don't they know Jordan's changes? Of course they know, but so what if they know, they will also say that Jordan has too few shots and no impact.

However, such provocations can sometimes have a great impact, such as provocations to Lin Han. Even though Lin Han’s data is indeed terrifying, it still makes almost everyone hesitate about Lin Han’s future in NBA. Now, when Lin Han performs such a miracle when facing the darkest and most iron-blooded team in NBA, even if these experts pick on them, no matter how stupid they pretend to be stupid, their influence is getting smaller. After all, this is not an ordinary thing, this is a miracle. This Chinese almost staged a miracle in NBA! Who can do this in the entire history of NBA? Even in the history of American professional sports, how many people staged a perfect heroism story like Lin Han today?!

So, at this time, Lin Han’s value was truly recognized after this miracle, rather than being influenced by the experts in the NBA. Perhaps from today on, Lin Han, a player who does not conform to the mainstream values ​​of the NBA, has no talent or ability but has bloodshot data, can truly start his own NBA road. Lin Han’s value has finally been recognized by the media industry in the United States or the world. After all, if Lin Han can maintain it, as he is, he will become one of the most special existences in the American sports world, and the value contained in him will also shock everyone. Here, no one is a fool, so after today’s game, so there will be so many people who want to share Lin Han’s freshly released ‘big pizza’.

"Come here, Pat Riley and Jerry Sloan are here!"

Just when the media, who had been waiting here for almost an hour, were already irritated, the sudden commotion of the reporters in the front row immediately caused a commotion among all the media reporters.

Although Lin Han was not able to attend the post-match press conference, which disappointed these reporters from all directions. For a moment, these guys almost hated Jazz coach Sloan. It was this guy who issued a media ban or media protection order to Lin Han. In addition to post-match TV interviews, Lin Han eliminated any media access. Even the NBA official seems to have defaulted on this. As the best media event after the game but not attending several games, Lin Han is the first.

"It's really bad. Why can the Wall Street Journal be in the front? It was originally our position, and what is the New China media in China? Why can they also be in the front row? Have they interviewed NBA before? It's unfair, it's really unfair. David Stern's snobbery will ruin NBA."

"Forget it, who made you just a third-rate tabloid, and others are big newspapers. It would be nice to be able to enter the room. Look, there are still a large group of people standing outside."

After Pat Riley and Jerry Sloan came here, the atmosphere at the scene became chaotic instantly, which made Pat Riley, who was originally not good-looking, look even more ugly at this time. As for Jerry Sloan on the side, he was still smiling at this time, just like the Gorilla Ewing, the head player of the New York Knicks before the game, this was the calmness of the winner.

Whether it is hypocrisy or pretending, calmness and grace will always belong to the winner and the king. There is indeed no mistake in this.

Of course, the chaos at the scene could not last long at this time. Under the arrangement of the on-site staff, the order was soon restored. In short, whether it was a big newspaper or a small newspaper, American media were more wise.

"Mr. Pat Riley, do you have any opinions on this game? Do you think your team may lose with 35 seconds left? Did you fail to tactical restrictions on Lin Han in this game, or underestimate him? Did you think of the New York Knicks' underestimation and arrogance before the game?"

Originally, the New York Times, as the host, should have to maintain its own team, but in New York, no media would maintain Pat Riley. Maybe these media would defend the Knicks and Ewing, but they hated Pat Riley the most. Especially after the miracle of Linhan was staged, these New York media even had a sense of perverted pleasure. Especially when the game ended, Pat Riley's expression of stunned eyes and losing focus on the sidelines made these New York media feel secretly happy.

In this case, as the leader of the New York media, the New York Times naturally would not let Pat Riley go, and almost made its position clear from the beginning. The reason why Lin Han performed a miracle in Madison was that you Pat Riley's dereliction of duty and mistakes.

As one of the smartest head coaches in the league, Pat Riley naturally knew the little ones in these guys' hearts, so after the New York Times reporter asked, Pat Riley's face could no longer be described as ugly. It can be called furious. It can make Pat Riley, who has always been elegant, lose his compassionate attitude. It has to be said that the humiliation Lin Han brought to him in this game is indeed extremely huge.

"You ask me why this game turned out like this? Is this my question? OK, think whatever you want." After Pat Riley finished speaking, he didn't know what he thought of. His tone, which was a little calmer, immediately became intense, and his face was even a little ferocious: "How could I, TM, know that a player can score 13 points in 30 seconds? Do I want to make the game like this? When the game is less than 1 minute left before the end, we faced the Jazz, one of the strongest teams in the West, leading them by 8 points. We have been leading from the beginning of the game from the beginning. Do you think this is my tactical dereliction of duty and failure? Even if you, have you ever thought that something like this will happen today?"

After several consecutive rhetorical questions, Pat Riley's rage caught almost all the reporters off guard, but fortunately Pat Riley was used to the big scenes and soon controlled his emotions again.

"Sorry, I don't think the failure of this game has anything to do with ourselves. My tactics are very successful. We have been leading by 47 minutes in the 48 minutes of the game. My players also performed very well. The Jazz players' shooting percentage in the whole game was less than 35%. Lin Han's shooting percentage in the first 47 minutes was 7 of 22 shots, less than one-third."

"But, unfortunately, we lost to God in the last minute, Lin Han is a very good player, I admit I underestimated him, but that's not the reason, he borrowed it from God for 1 minute at the last moment."

"And when you face such a player, you can hardly do anything. You can only watch him stab into your chest and pierce your heart. There is nothing you can do."

After Pat Riley calmly said these words, he got up and left. The game was a humiliation for him since the end. He didn't know when he would carry this humiliation, but for the proud Pat Riley, he only knew that he didn't want to answer anything about today's game.

Of course, this is something that everyone can understand when Pat Riley's rage leaves the court. Indeed, his failure in this game was too weird or too incredible. As for Jerry Sloan on the side, he narrowed his eyes when he watched the best head coach in the league finally become like this.

As the best middle-aged coach in the league, what Jerry Sloan hopes most is to pull off Pat Riley, the best head coach in the league. This is an almost impossible task in the past. Not only are the ability not the same level, but the teams coached by the two are also not the same level. Now, at least in this game, Jerry Sloan feels endless sense of speed and superiority.

"Have I ever thought that the game would be reversed at the last moment? Of course, the game is not over, right? On the NBA court, anything will happen, as long as we don't give up any hope, as for whether we have ever thought about the miracle that Lin performed in the last moment of this game? Of course, it is really hard to imagine that such a thing will happen in the end, but don't forget that he is the current league scoring champion. He can do a lot of things in the scoring field, and now he has proved that he is one of the greatest scorers on the planet. He used his score to pull us out of desperate situations. This is indeed a miracle."

"We have a problem with our tactics? Of course, you can think so, but you can think that way, but we were the winners in the end, and the New York Knicks were in a panic in the end."

"Of course, we will consider letting him take on more responsibilities for the team. Haven't you seen it? In the Jazz, he has the same mobile phone opportunities as Carl, and he has always been the core player of our team."

When Pat Riley left the court in a rage, Jerry Sloan became the biggest protagonist on the stage. Although the Jazz's head coach has always been recognized by many experts in professional fields, the media has no interest in him at all because of a team like the Jazz. It can be said that after the end of this game, this is perhaps the highlight of his coaching career so far. If Lin Han played a few more times at 35 seconds and 13 seconds, he might not have been able to win the best coach of the season with such exposure, although the season has just begun.

So, at this time, Jerry Sloan not only praised Lin Han very much, but also praised him himself. Pat Riley said that he defeated Sloan tactically. If the result of this game was not like this, Sloan would indeed admit that the fact was like this. But now, he won the game, and the loser was Pat Riley. Even though these journalists and experts knew that Jerry Sloan lost in this game, what could this be? Who can compare to them with the kung fu with pretending to be stupid!

Therefore, at this time, Jerry Sloan was enjoying the glory brought by the end of this game, and what about Lin Han at this time?

"Ali, are you mistaken? McGrady always consumed 20% of my character value. This is so bad, right?!"

When Lin Han's McGrady's state disappeared at all times, the system prompted him to lose 20% of his character, which surprised Lin Han. You know, he made 7 of 29 matches with the Heat, and finally got 0.5% of his character value. After the game, his character value returned to zero again. No, it became 1%. Fortunately, the default minimum value of the legendary system is 1%. If it really turns into a negative number, Lin Han will really cry.

"Idiot, don't be dissatisfied. At one time, you just exchanged 20% of your character value. Some people can only exchange it for these thirty-five seconds of eternal glory."

Although I don’t know what Aili’s melancholy feeling meant at this time, why did Lin Han think that this skill is not so invincible? No matter how you look at it, it’s a big pit. This is to keep the character of others at 1% rhythm.

If this is true, Lin Han could imagine that he would hit 10 of 30 or 5 of 25 in every game. I'm afraid he would surpass Havlicek and become the Iron King of the league.
