Chapter 243 Alternative 5x5

(Please recommend, subscribe, and monthly ticket)

"The second round of the series is a 7-game 4-win game. Our team has only lost two games now. As long as we have not lost at home, the NBA playoffs are not yet over yet. Don't you know that the real start of the NBA playoffs is when a team wins away games and a team loses home games?"

"The Jazz performed very well in this game. They have a very good lineup thickness. We are not in full health now. Tim has not made a comeback now. His injury is not healed, and we have no plans to make him comeback in this series. However, even without Tim, we believe that we can have a chance to win this round of series."

After the Jazz defeated the Warriors for two consecutive games at home, Nelson, the head coach of the Warriors, was a little embarrassed. He lost two consecutive away games, and the score of the loss was not very large. He did not lose more than ten in every game. Although the score of the loss was not very large, the Warriors fell behind in every game, and they had almost never taken the lead or surpassed the whole game. In addition to the first game, the Warriors also surpassed the first game, and they did not even overtake the second game.~~~~

If you don’t look at the score and just look at the content of these two games, the Warriors can be said to be beaten by the Jazz!

For any NBA head coach, being hung up in the game is not a happy thing, because it means they don’t see the hope of winning. Even if the people who are the least optimistic about the Jazz have watched these two games, they don’t think that the Warriors can still threaten the Jazz. As long as they cannot surpass Lin Han on the offensive end, they will not be able to continue to implement Old Nelson’s crazy defensive strategy. Let Stockton go, Russell go, David Wesley or even Lin Han. The reason why this team dared to let go directly in the first game was not because the team was confident that their team’s offensive ability could make up for all the points they let go?

Now, when the Warriors stood a point like Lin Han in front of them, their offense was no longer so reliable, so they did not let go of Stockton and others' capital, which directly affected the team's defensive efficiency. In this game, Malone scored more than 30 points in the Warriors' interior. The inside combination of Malone and Lin Han scored more than 60 points in this game, which was almost ravaging the Warriors' defense. The reason why the Warriors had no chance to win in this game was that their inside was completely defeated by the Jazz. It was impossible for the Warriors who did not dare to completely shrink and wanted to rely on Weber, Owens and limited assisting defense to defend Malone and Lin Han.

However, after the game, in the post-match press conference, these reporters had no choice but to face the quibbling of Old Nelson. Although everyone knew that the Warriors had basically no hope in this round of the series.

"The series is a seven-game system. Mr. Nelson said it well. Although the Jazz have won two home games, we still haven't won away games. So for both sides, it can be said to be that the playoffs have not been fully started yet. If the Warriors can win the home game, the pressure will be on our side. The Warriors are a very great player, and they have the ability to do all this."

Of course, at this time, Old Nelson was really angry by the two "little bastards" of Malone and Lin Han. Although the old coach knew that if his team could not find a way to deal with Lin Han, it would be almost impossible to win this round of the series, but he just refused to admit this at this time. It has to be said that this crazy experimentalist in the NBA is also a little childish, but what surprised Old Nelson was that he had always been relatively old-fashioned in his opinion. The Jazz head coach Jerry Sloan, who had been in extremely bad situations recently, would actually speak for him at this time. The key is not that Jerry Sloan spoke for him, but that the Jazz head coach now had no anxiety at the beginning of the series, and the previous melancholy and haze were missing between his eyebrows, which surprised Old Nelson a little.

As a head coach with extremely rich coaching experience, he certainly knows what problems the Jazz coach is facing now. Even if he can't guess it completely, he can guess a rough idea. If it weren't for Jerry Sloan's "cooperation", he wouldn't have been so resolute in a game. If the Jazz coach was Feier Jackson or Pat Riley, he would never have done this.

"This guy looks much more mature."

Finally, after looking at Jerry Sloan in surprise, Old Nelson also thought to himself that as an opponent, when their players continue to grow during the game and their head coach also grows during the game, this is definitely not a good thing.

"Mr. Nelson, in the World Championships held in Canada this offseason, Isaiah Thomas, a player of Dream Team, announced his retirement yesterday and will withdraw from the Dream Team's training team. You just said that Tim Hardaway will not make a comeback this season. So will you consider other people for the remaining two guards in the Dream Team's training team, such as Lin Han or Anfini Hardaway?"

Just when Old Nelson looked at Jerry Sloan with a very relaxed smile on his face, the old coach's face became even more ugly when he heard this question. For Old Nelson, coaching the Dream Team 2 is not a glorious thing for him.

Dream Team 1 participated in the Olympics, Dream Team 2 participated in the World Championships. As one of the most experienced head coaches in the NBA, he naturally hoped that he would lead the Dream Team that participated in the Olympics. However, two years ago, he could not compete with Chuck Daly for the head coach position of Dream Team 1. Not to mention that he had no chance, even the most popular head coach of the league, Pat Riley, who was extremely enthusiastic about this position, did not even have any chances for assistant coaches. Of course, old

Although Nelson is not as enthusiastic as Pat Riley, he also wants to become an NBA assistant coach of Dream Team, but he does not have any chance to become an assistant coach. Because the city where the 1996 Olympics was held was not Golden State, but Atlanta, and the city of Atlanta has a head coach Wilkens who is no less qualified than him and Pat Riley. As one of the prides of the city of Atlanta, Wilkens is almost the head coach of Dream Team Three and the assistant coach of Dream Team One.

Fortunately, Old Nelson is indeed more popular than Pat Riley. Although there is no chance for Dream Team 3 and he can't let go of the stigma to attack Wilkens, the US Team Selection Committee is very considerate and makes him the head coach of Dream Team 2 lead the team to the World Championships. Although the result is not the best. However, compared to Pat Riley and Fier Jackson, he is still relatively lucky. You should know that after Fier Jackson got such a result, the Bulls head coach directly stated that he would not have any relationship with the US Team in the future. Of course, Pat Riley, who has always had an Olympic dream in his heart, did not give up directly like Fier Jackson because he was hit and knew that he had no chance.

Coaching the Dream Team 2 is not the result that Old Nelson wants the most, but fortunately it has fulfilled his Dream Team's dream. It just made him very depressed that when he selected players for this year's Dream Team 2, he hoped that some famous superstars of the NBA could join in, but what made Old Nelson very unhappy was that no famous superstar was willing to accompany him to Canada, a place that seemed to be inappropriate in NBA players. So when the Dream Team was selecting, the famous coach made a joke, and the players went to invite people one by one, and then were rejected one by one, which actually hurt his face.

So although he is the head coach of Meng Er team, he also has a certain right to choose players. With his qualifications, he can do as long as he is willing to take anyone with him. But what he dislikes the most is that people are asked about this question, because the shadow caused to him last year was too great.

"The affairs of the members of the Dream II team are not something that needs to be discussed at this time. We will not choose players because of the reputation of a player. We need to look at the needs of the team. Lin Han is a very outstanding player, but he may not be in line with the team building ideas of the Dream II team. As for Anfenny, I admire him very much. His performance this season is superman."

After Old Nelson finished speaking, all the reporters at the scene were stunned, and then immediately became excited. Old Nelson's meaning was already very obvious. Lin Han did not meet his requirements, but Hardaway had the opportunity to substitute the Dream Team 2!

However, after Old Nelson finished speaking, Jerry Sloan on the side raised his eyebrows at this time, but he quickly returned to normal. He seemed to be completely indifferent to Old Nelson's words.

Recently, due to the retirement of Isaiah Thomas, although the NBA is holding the playoffs, it is impossible for a former NBA football king to retire. There is no movement. Although Isaiah Thomas is not as popular as Jordan or the Magician in a team like the Pistons, he has suppressed Jordan during his rookie period. Although he has been pressed to be the second most popular defender in the East for the next eight years, he is suppressed by Jordan in the second place. Although this is indeed embarrassing for Thomas, it is not embarrassing for others. Even if the Magic, if Jordan goes to the West, he will still be second in ten thousand years.

Of course, in addition to the retirement of Isaiah Thomas, it is a bit sad that the three major players of that year, Thomas, Larry Bird and the Magician all left the NBA, more people turned their attention to the free Meng Er team after Thomas retired. You should know that although Meng Er team played in the World Championships, although the World Championships are really not attractive to famous superstars like Olajuwon Barkley and others, it is still very attractive to some young superstars. Recently, many fans have expected Lin Han and Hardaway to be on this list.

But what disappointed many fans who supported Lin Han in the end was that they really didn't expect that Old Nelson's rejection of Lin Han was so firm. Not to mention that these fans could not imagine, even Lin Han could not imagine it.

"Even if you want to come and invite me, I won't go."

When the day after the game against the Warriors, Lin Han saw the newspaper's comments on his inappropriateness to the Dream 2 team, Lin Han threw the newspaper away and said hatefully. Although he had never thought of participating in the World Championships, he was still a little unhappy when Old Nelson said this.

Of course. Although Lin Han didn't care much about the Meng Er team, being rejected by a soft nail like Old Nelson still made Lin Han laughed a lot by his teammates when he came to the team the next day. After all, Stockton and Malone, two unconventional guys, are both players of the Meng Yi team, and Lin Han couldn't even enter the Meng Yi team.

"Hahaha, Lin, you're so slow. You know, I refused to ask that last year, Old Nelson asked me to play the World Championships. You are far behind me, hahaha."

Seeing the team's inside linemen being louder than the unrestrained laughter, Lin Han was really speechless.

Of course. Recently, the refusal of Old Nelson to join Lin Han in the Dream Team has been hyped up, and another thing that happened in the playoffs has indeed made many NBA fans feel very interesting.

That is another second round matchup in the Western Conference, the series between the Nuggets and the Rockets. The Nuggets lost two consecutive games, and like the team lost two consecutive games in the last round, they were both defeated and lost nearly twenty. However, at this time, there were not many fans thinking whether the Rockets could sweep the Nuggets. Instead, they were thinking whether the Nuggets could rise again like the previous round, winning four consecutive games to sweep the Rockets out.

Since the Nuggets' Black Seven and the Rockets successfully counterattacked the Suns with 0-2 behind in the first round, the score of 2-0 this year seems to have been ruined by these teams. Fans will subconsciously think of counterattacks when they see this score, especially in this group of matchup between the Rockets and the Nuggets. Although the Rockets won a bit well, this does not mean that the strength of the two sides is really such a big gap. In fact, if it weren't for Olajuwon's performance of 26 points, 12 rebounds, 6 assists, 6 blocks, and 4 blocks in the first game and 46 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 6 blocks and 4 steals in the second game, it is still difficult to say what happened in the first two games of this round of matchup. You should know that the Nuggets did not fall much behind in the fourth quarter in the first two games.

Moreover, the Rockets' head of the outside, Spreville, the super god Mutombo, once again scored 6 blocks and 8 blocks in two games in the first round. The Nuggets' head of the Nuggets' player is still continuing to perform crazy blocks.

So, the Warriors and Jazz games seem to be suppressed by the Jazz. Although the Nuggets lost two big scores, this team really has a chance to win.

Of course, at this time, NBA fans were waiting for whether the Nuggets could counterattack the Rockets, and the two matches in the second round of the East were a bit anxious. The Knicks, the number one in the East, faced the fourth in the Eastern Conference, and the first two games were one-to-one. This was not how outstanding the Magic performed. O'Neal's performance in the second round was still very miserable. In the regular season this season, the Magic and the Knicks fought five times, and the Knicks won three games. The Magic naturally could not compare to the Knicks in strength. And more importantly, although O'Neal and Ewing were beaten so badly in the regular season, but the same

It's not so outstanding. O'Neal's performance against the other three centers this season was at a disadvantage, and this was particularly obvious in the playoffs. Facing Ewing, who had snatched the center position of three teams, allowed O'Neal to continue the slump in the first round. The reason why the Knicks lost at home was not because of how strong the Magic was, but because of his funnyness. Like the Jazz, the Knicks, who had been resting for more than a week and had not played the game. This team composed of veterans played very miserably in the first game and had no game state at all, so they lost directly in the first game, but the Knicks beat the Magic 25 points in the second game. It seems that this team and the Magic are not of the same level as the Magic.

Although the 1-1 Knicks and Magic are somewhat unreal, the Pacers and Hawks are 1-1, which is really fierce. These two teams are now the same as when they were in the first round of the Pacers and the Bulls. Almost every game is a game between the finals, which is extremely anxious. Although they are at a slight disadvantage in strength, the Pacers are indeed an extremely resilient team that can always drag the game to the last moment. After dragging the game to the last moment, they have one of the best key gentlemen in the league. This is also the reason why they can eliminate the Bulls. As for whether they can continue to be a dark horse in the second round, it is unknown, but even if the Hawks can win, it will probably not be easy.

Now the second round of the playoffs in the east and west has reached a white-hot stage. On May 16, after two days of rest, the Jazz went to Golden State to challenge the Warriors away. The old Nelson, who has been thinking about how to turn the tables in recent times, met Lin Han, who was full of resentment towards Old Nelson in this game. The game between the Jazz and the Warriors well reflected Lin Han's resentment towards Old Nelson. At the beginning of the game, the Jazz who played away from home needed to find the offensive feel before they could attack, so they were defensive at the beginning. Faced with the Jazz's first away defense, the Warriors, who had a strong offensive defense, had no way to break the Jazz's defense at the basket after halftime, or they had no way to break Lin Han's defense at the basket.

When the half-time game ended, when the score between the two sides was 46-44, the old Nelson on the sidelines thought he was dazzled. The Warriors only scored 44 points in the half-time attack. The Jazz played away, and it was understandable that they didn't feel very good at the beginning, but what was the situation like when the Warriors made such an offense?

Not to mention that the old Nelson on the sidelines was a little stunned when he saw the Warriors players who were frightened by Lin Han and kept throwing around outside, even the Warriors fans on the sidelines were similar. In this game, except for Spreville, a madman who kept rushing to the basket and fighting Lin Han, after being attacked by Lin Han, almost all other players were shocked by Lin Han to shoot at mid- and long distances. Although the Warriors' shooting is indeed excellent, if they dare not break through, then the Jazz's defensive players will be too relaxed when defending. The Warriors players have defenders in front of almost every shot.

Of course, at this time, many players of the Warriors saw the player who was almost omnipresent at the basket and thought that every pass and running could be judged by this guy in advance. It was not surprising that the Warriors players made such a choice on the court at this time, but Old Nelson really couldn't accept it.

Although Old Nelson also knew that the Warriors players chose their own way of playing on the court was actually not wrong or even better, it was almost impossible for such a Warriors who lost their sharp attack to win the Jazz. They had a good chance in this game, but when the Jazz found the feel in the second half, they had no chance at all.

When the game ended, when the old Nelson on the sidelines saw that his team was defeated 107-94 by the Jazz at home, the Warriors head coach almost turned pale.

Losing at home means they are 0-3 behind the Jazz, and this almost means they have no chance!

So when the game ended, watching the Jazz players celebrating together on the court, especially Lin Han, who scored 28 points, 13 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals and 7 blocks in this game, the Warriors head coach almost trembled his whole body.

Of course, Lin Han naturally noticed the old Nelson on the sidelines at this time, but Lin Han thought it was very good about the expression of the Warriors head coach. Who told this guy to say so before? Lin Han deliberately suppressed his offense in this game. Even when everyone in the team felt bad in the first half, Lin Han did not take over the team's offense.

In order to show his team side in this game, Lin Han scored 7 assists, but for these 7 assists, Lin Han also scored 6 turnovers. His Kobe-style jump pass was indeed extremely powerful, either a top ten goal or a low-level mistake. Originally, Lin Han was planning to use Marbury's horizontal pass to assist, but after thinking about it, he still gave up. After all, the Jazz's nerves have been tense recently, and it would be bad if he collapsed.

"Lin Han's assist awareness in this game is very good. I think after this game, but after this game, Lin Han should not change his impression in Nelson's heart."

Looking at Lin Han who was demonstrating to Old Nelson on the court, Larry Bird also said with a smile.

"In this game, Lin Han played an alternative 5x5, and the Warriors were forced to the cliff by him" (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
