Chapter 141 Barkley's Challenge
(The third update is delivered, please subscribe and monthly ticket!!!)
Two double-double in two consecutive games, and successfully played in the inside in two consecutive games. After defeating the Cavaliers away, Lin Han received congratulations from his teammates again.+
Facing the next opponent, Suns, the Jazz defeated the Cavaliers by bombardment at the Cavaliers' home court, which is a very good sign. After all, the Suns are also bombarded with small ball play. In fact, it has proved that although Lin Han and Malone's double-short inside have many problems in inside defense, they have greater advantages on the offensive end.
At worst, when facing the opponent, there will be a big center, the Jazz will shrink all the inside to protect the inside. At worst, the opponent will continue to shoot outside. With the three-point shooting ability of most teams in the league, there are not many who can really shoot the Jazz to death. Of course, the teams that can shoot the Jazz to death include Barkley's Suns, so the Jazz still cannot play shrinking defense against the Suns.
After defeating the Cavaliers, the entire Jazz team was very happy. After all, this opponent is not weak and much stronger than the Bucks. I have tried the team's new style of play on such an opponent, and the new style of play is good, which makes the team's head coach Jerry Sloan in a good mood now. You know, this conservative guy has been a little uncertain about whether his experiment will be successful. Now, it has been half successful.
Of course, whether the other half is successful depends on whether the team can defeat the Suns and the Supersonics in the next two games to complete a breakthrough in history.
"Lin. She looks so bad. She won't have a fight with those guys again at the press conference, right?"
After the game with the Cavaliers, in order to prepare for the game against the Suns on January 10, the Jazz did not prepare to spend the night in Cleveland. After the game, almost everyone had boarded the team bus and prepared to go straight to the airport and fly back to the west overnight. At this time, when they saw Lin Han and Malone who were finally getting on the bus, Stockton and other Jazz players in the car looked at Lin Han with curiosity.
Because Lin Han's angry face formed a sharp contrast with Karl Malone's chuckling at this time. Obviously, Lin Han must have caused trouble again at the press conference that just ended. This is what most Jazz players think.
In terms of strength, Lin Han is really perfect. The strong strength made Humphries, Bennott, Corbin and others who were competing for the position with him have already shut up. Even now, even the media that hates Lin Han the most in the league will no longer talk about whether Lin Han's strength and draft pick are too high.
But in addition to strength, Lin Han's personality has always been a very big problem. At least, the courage to start a war with almost all media in the United States after entering the league was even Jordan, even the original Jordan would admire him.
Of course, in a small place like Utah, Jazz players basically never thought that their team would be able to come to a popular player that is all over the United States one day. Even if such a popular player comes to Utah, their popularity will become weaker and weaker. After all, for most American media reporters, they don’t want to come to Utah, which seems to be a land of the United States. However, in terms of culture, many families in Utah are still playing a system of [many husbands] wives, and they may not be able to stand it.
Therefore, these Jazz players originally thought that Lin Han was only popular for ten or half a month. When the media found other targets that could be public opinion, they naturally would not pay attention to Lin Han anymore. But who knew that not only did not fall silent after ten or half a month as they expected, but instead soared into the sky and couldn't stop. Now, these Jazz players are completely used to the extremely strange situation in Lin Han to be honest.
Even for them, getting up every morning, opening the newspaper you ordered, and having breakfast every morning, turning over a few pages to see the battle between Lin Han and the media, has even become a strange pleasure for them. After all, a player like Lin Han is too special in this team.
It even has a very incompatible relationship with the Jazz's previous team environment and culture. Players like Lin Han should have been in big cities like Los Angeles, New York or Chicago, but eventually settled in Utah. If Lin Han was not a core player, but a role player, he would have taken him away long ago.
After all, a character player cannot allow the whole team to adapt to this mutational media environment for him. Although due to Lin Han, Malone, Stockton, Jerry Sloan and others' attention has surged, although this has made these three people very surprised and surprised, after a brief surprise, perhaps they don't like to be stared at like this all the time.
But now, for Lin Han and for the future of this team, whether it is Stockton, Malone or Jerry Sloan, they are all adapting to Lin Han.
I have to say that Lin Han was able to be so smooth with the Jazz this season, which is really inseparable from the support of this team from top to bottom. Lin Han doesn't need to worry about other things now. The team's routine is left to Stockton, and the responsibility of the leader on the court is left to Malone and Stockton. He only needs to keep scoring, scoring and then scoring. Of course, he still needs to keep scoring rebounds with Malone.
So, for a young player, it's a perfect environment to grow, and it's an almost perfect team.
"Hahaha, what else can I do? Do you know? In the whole press conference, those guys were asking questions about Barkley. That scene was simply impossible to look at. Moreover, in the end, he actually accepted Barkley's challenge. That was Barkley's challenge. This kid was crazy, hahahahaha."
Lin Han had not spoken yet, and was like a child. After rushing to the car in front of Lin Han, Ma Long, who rushed to the car and sat down next to Stockton, he started laughing. Lin Han, who slowly got into the car and sat down in his seat, looked even more ugly.
Malone said nothing wrong. After today's game, Karl Malone and Lin Han attended the post-match press conference. As the best player of this game, Malone, the best player of this game, was still on the side by the group of unruly reporters.
Last time, Lin Han played a trick with these guys and laughed at them. By the way, they mocked them. Finally, after being sued by these guys, David Stern did not punish him, but also gave Lin Han a warning. Although Lin Han is the focus of NBA care, he does not have that much authority to regard NBA rules as nothing.
In this case, Lin Han could only stay there honestly, and any reporter asked questions, and these guys knew this.
So the question is that the more I raise it, the more disgusting it becomes. Even if Lin Han chooses not to answer, he feels extremely angry just sitting there, especially these guys say Barkley on the left and Barkley on the right. It seems that Barkley is their father. Isn’t these guys so angry that Lin Han just hopes that Lin Han can accept a challenge from Barkley?
Regarding Barkley's challenge, it has to start with the Jazz and the Bucks in the last game. In that game, Lin Han played 30+20 in a crazy game, becoming the third player to win 30+20 in his rookie season in the past two years. Compared with O'Neal and Mourning, Lin Han is a completely outside player.
Under such circumstances, although the American media was madly choreographing Lin Han because Lin Han refused to interview, no matter how many of these guys made up stories, Lin Han's game was 30+20, and there was no doubt. It can be said that after the game, almost all fans in the United States were very much looking forward to what would happen if Lin Han and Barkley met?
The two looked similar in height, and they had some conflicts before. Under such circumstances, Barkley really wanted to ask for revenge on Lin Han. The Suns boss, who had long wanted to seek revenge on Lin Han, really wanted to abuse Lin Han in the inside position at home, so the Suns player entrusted the reporters to pass on a verbal challenge letter to Lin Han. The rough idea is, boy, do we dare to do it head-on in the inside next time!
It's a very simple challenge book, but it aroused the enthusiasm of the media and fans across the United States. In order to make Lin Han accept the challenge, these guys really fought tonight. After all, Lin Han is on the outside, and now there are basically not many people who can deal with him except for a few people such as Pippen, but the inside is completely different. Moreover, Barkley, who is still terrified and resentful to Lin Han, has no hope of winning at all.
Lin Han and Barkley do have a grudge. The last time they fought with Barkley, Lin Han was indeed lost overall, and they lost badly, but can they compare with that at that time? Lin Han thinks that his current strength is. If Barkley dares to come to the outside to compete with him, Lin Han himself can destroy Barkley without even the scum.
Even in the next game, Lin Han decided to continue as a power forward and face Barkley, he might not necessarily lose. In this case, Lin Han was very enthusiastic. In the end, he was tricked by these guys and made it seem like he was afraid of Barkley, which was simply unreasonable. So Lin Han also had a dark face at that time and agreed to Barkley's challenge. Moreover, even if he did not agree, he would play as a power forward in the next game, which was no difference.
"Okay, Lin, don't think so much. Isn't your strongest thing about not caring about bad views from the outside world at all? Just don't care about this time, and I don't think you will be so weak, hahaha."
Seeing Lin Han's face turned pale and after listening to Malone's words, Stockton smiled and kicked Lin Han and said. After listening to Stockton's comfort, Lin Han's face looked a little better.
"I want to see how that big ass will deal with me in the next game, hum!"
Although Lin Han's face improved a lot, he was still very unhappy and very unhappy.

"Another big double-double, Lin Han played dominant data against the Cavaliers. It seems that this rookie has found perfect sense in his first inside guest appearance in his career. Perhaps Lin Han will become a magician and another top-notch outside player. However, it is obvious that whether it is Bucks' Vincenbeck or Cavaliers' Rod Williams, their level is not enough to allow Lin Han to get full recognition in the new position. And his next opponent will be the best power forward in the league, last season's regular season MVP, Charles Barkley. There is no need to hide the gap between the two, Lin Han, are you ready to be broken?"
When Lin Han flew to Phoenix from Cleveland overnight with the team, on the second day after the Jazz defeated the Cavaliers away, almost all public opinion in the United States had taken action.
This is not just Barkley's talk about Lin Han's internal duel. Lin Han agreed to Barkley, but it is also because the Jazz are indeed able to tie the Lakers' record that year. Under such circumstances, almost no media will miss such a game.
Under this catalyst, almost all the public opinion machines in NBA were running, and the front page headlines of major media were almost the focus war on January 10.
"Her thin body, incomplete height, fairly excellent arm span, and poor small buttocks. It's really hard to imagine that an outside player like Lin Han can make trouble in the league for two consecutive games. Is the NBA really lonely? Is the NBA's inside player Guan Rong completely lost? When Chamberlain, Russell and Jabbar saw that an outside player like Lin Han can gallop in the current NBA inside, they might laugh. This is what many people call the golden age?"
"When a clown like Lin Han can gallop freely in such an era, this era is not a golden age but an era of shame. Knights and Bucks, you have lost the glory of that year!"
On the second day after the Jazz and the Cavaliers' match ended. As the media that hates Lin Han the most now, the New York Times almost uncoveredly bombarded Lin Han. An outside player can indeed have many meanings in the inside. One meaning is that the outside player is too strong, and the other meaning is that his opponent is too weak and the league's inside strength is declining.
For the New York Times, they naturally would not praise Lin Han, so they could only belittle Lin Han's opponents and the current NBA.
"Arrogance or ignorance? When Lin Han successfully played the inside in two consecutive games, his comments after the game were angry. Barkley is a super insider who has proved himself in the NBA. This kid accepted Barkley's challenge without any hesitation. Is he seeking death?
"Linhan's courage is worthy of praise, but as Mr. Falke said before, when he accepted Barkley's challenge to this decision, his IQ was problematic."
"For a young man who thinks he is the center of the world and everyone else around him revolves around him, this decision is understandable. He has not experienced any setbacks. I think Barkley can give Lin the most vivid lesson."
"I can't believe that the Jazz would tolerate Lin Han doing such things. Barkley, who has been by Lin Han, did not remind him at all. It seems that the internal strife inside the Jazz has become more and more intense."
When Lin Han and Jazz came to Phoenix, Lin Han was speechless. At yesterday's post-match press conference, these guys kept disgusting him. Didn't they just hope that he could accept Barkley's challenge from the air? Well, Lin Han accepted the challenge. In the end, these guys left all their instigation, as if Lin Han was arrogant or had been ready to go.
When other Jazz players saw Lin Han's expression and the unconventional performance of these media, they laughed wildly.
What made Lin Han even more speechless was that as the initiator of this challenge, Barkley, this big butt, after learning that Lin Han was accepted the challenge, this guy actually accepted an exclusive interview with the Houston Chronicle to talk about this matter overnight, and even threatened Lin Han again.
"I think Lin Han's decision is very manly. He is a very good rookie. I don't like him. I don't appreciate his character and his skills, but I have to say that he has very good cleverness. His cleverness has allowed him to gain a foothold in the NBA for a short time, but, I think, this can't last."
"Have I watched the game between the Bucks and the Cavaliers? Of course, I watched a little of these two games. Lin Han was very dirty when facing Vinbeck. The Bucks were very good to that poor little guy, but he met the worst player in the NBA, but I believe he will get what he has lost now in the future."
"Will this game with Lin Han feel special? Of course it's special, because now I can't wait to 'enter' that kid well. Usually, I'm not that hospitable, hahahahaha"
Arrogant, arrogant, and ignorant. This is what Barkley is doing after learning that Lin Han accepts his challenge. For him, as long as Lin Han dares to stand in front of him, he can immediately break Lin Han. As for Lin Han’s record in the first two games, sorry, can Wen Baker and Rod Williams compare with him? Take the Bucks as an example. In Barkley’s view, as long as he is willing, he can do it as long as he is willing, not to mention 30+20, 40+20.
In Barkley's world, data never represents everything.
However, what Lin Han really wants to complain about is how idle you are, or how much hatred you are. It was almost early in the morning when Lin Han attended the press conference, and the Suns had no game. This guy was still staring at Lin Han. This was a bit crazy or obsessed.
However, from this point, it can be seen that Barkley really hated Lin Han to death and wanted to strip Lin Han alive immediately.
That's why this guy is so eager to meet this Jazz 8. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
