Chapter 225 Advance to the Western Conference Finals!

(Chris Gatlin, also known as Chris Gatlin, is a very outstanding inside offensive player. Interested book friends can go and check out his videos)

The Warriors' substitute with the strength of an All-Star player in the interior is indeed a bit shocked. You should know that the second and third heads of this team are still in the season reimbursement. If the second heads of the NBA and the third heads of the team are reimbursed, the team can also have a set of quasi-All-Star or All-Star starting lineup, which is amazing. But now, the Warriors not only have a quasi-All-Star starting lineup, but also an All-Star substitute. Such a lineup is not even the Jazz.

Of course, although Lin Han was sitting on the sidelines at this time, he was a little surprised at the strength of the left-handed insider Chris Gattering, who had just played himself in a mess on the court, fortunately, after the substitute players from both sides came on the court, and after missing a substitute like Gattering, the Warriors' substitute player led by Avery Johnson, finally lost the strength that could be comparable to the Jazz's substitute lineup like in the previous few games. So Lin Han, who was originally a little shocked by the thickness of the Warriors' lineup, finally calmed down a lot at this time.

"It seems that the potential of this team has finally been exhausted."

After the start of the second quarter, Lin Han also breathed a sigh of relief when he looked at the Warriors' substitute lineup on the court, which was suppressed by the Jazz's substitute lineup. Although Avery Johnson is also very strong, the starting point guard of the Warriors is the worst starting player in the team. This is not to say that his strength is weak. In fact, the strength of this point guard is not weak at all. Although he is not first-class in the league, there are still second-rates. The key is that his offensive characteristics are not as consistent as that of other people in the Warriors. This former Spurs player has a good breakthrough, good speed, good passing and vision. He is not very good at shooting, and he is full of strong people in the interior.

NBA. A guard player who doesn't shoot well can't survive by relying on breakthroughs. Even Drexler, the former player who has the strongest breakthrough in the league, has not been able to shoot well, but in recent years, when his body cannot always fly as before due to injuries, this guy has to throw four or five three-pointers in every game. There is nothing he can do about it. Even if Drexler's strength is not as good as his peak, he can still rank in the top five in terms of breakthroughs. However, in order to maintain his dominance, he still has to develop three-point ability to open up space for his breakthroughs, and Avery Johnson really has no shooting.

So Avery Johnson needs other players to open up space for his breakthroughs and rely heavily on strong teammates, so he is not a suitable player to play as a substitute, because the substitute player is the strongest now, and others have to count on him. How can he count on others?

Therefore, although Avery Johnson's strength may not be much worse than Chris Gattering, this is not a pure scorer. A player who needs the help of his teammates to score is indeed difficult to cause the lethality of Gattering.

When the Warriors changed their teams in this game, the Warriors and Jazz were similar in starting lineups because of Gatlin's existence. Lin Han was indeed suppressed by him on the defensive end and was unable to move in the interior. The threat of assisting defense was greatly reduced. The power of other Warriors players on the offensive end also slowly returned. Of course, because of Gatlin's existence, although this insider is indeed a good athletic talent and extremely strong offensive ability, after all, it is insider. The Warriors in the double insider still have a much slower pace of attack. So overall, this Warriors who changed their teams are similar to the Jazz who also plays in the attack lineup on the starting side, so this also gave Old Nelson great confidence.

However, after watching the Warriors and Jazz's substitutes perform in the second quarter, the Warriors head coach's confidence in winning may be greatly reduced.

"The Warriors players are really good in terms of thickness. In fact, these offensive teams have always been good in terms of lineup. Because pure offensive players are easier to find than players with balanced offense and defense."

After Lin Han recovered a little, Stockton beside Lin Han also said with a smile. After the Jazz's point guard finished speaking, Lin Han nodded and understood what Stockton meant. For the NBA, the highest palace of basketball in the world, it is not difficult to find a pure offensive player or a pure defensive player. As long as the team is willing to train, although the offensive level or defensive level is at the offensive level or defensive level.

It will be a little difficult if you don't have high standards, but if you really want to find it, you can still find it. However, although the NBA has two big mouth gun schools, namely the two big mouth gun schools, which are defensive and win the championship, no one can convince anyone, but there is one thing that both sides agree, that is, the team that can win the championship has the least shortcomings and the weaknesses are the least, so even the team that wins the championship on the offense needs their own team's goals.

The players have basic defensive abilities. For example, when the Lakers and this Warriors met in show-time, the Warriors were the team with the strongest offensive in the regular season that year, but in the playoffs, when the two teams met, the Lakers were able to average 124 points per game under the leadership of the Magic, while the Warriors, the team with the strongest offensive in the regular season, can only average 118 points per game. Do you want to say what is the difference between averaging 124 points per game and averaging 118 points per game? In fact, there is no zone.

Don't, both sides' offenses are undefensive, and neither side can actually defend each other. However, the Lakers were able to do this better than the Warriors in rebounding in that series, and basically beat the Warriors more than 10 and twenty in each game. It was this slight difference that made the Warriors and the Lakers play their offense to the extreme, but because the Lakers' defense was slightly better than the Warriors, the Lakers won in the end.

Therefore, most NBA teams often evaluate the players' comprehensive abilities when choosing players in the draft. Many low-couple rookies can finally play and be talked about by fans to mock those teams that are not conscious. The management of the teams that are ridiculed by fans is actually very innocent, because this is the unspoken rule of almost all NBA team management. For example, last year's rookie Van Eksel, who doesn't know that this guy's offense is awesome, but no team is willing to choose him in the first round. For example, the Jazz's current substitute guard David Wesley, and the NBA scout is not a fool, so how can you not know that this guy has extremely comprehensive skills. The offense is also excellent, but

In the end, the Nets threw him away after half a season. As for PJ Brown, the same is true. His defensive ability was also among the top among his peers in the draft. Because he had almost no offensive ability, he also fell into the second round. Therefore, when the NBA team selected players, most of the time they were given priority to players with comprehensive qualities. Even if the players did not have comprehensive qualities at the time, they still had the potential to have comprehensive qualities in the future. This gives people the illusion that NBA teams always choose players based on their talent in the draft. The ranking of players with high talent will be higher. In fact, players with comprehensive qualities now and players with comprehensive qualities in the future are both a group of talented players.

Therefore, Lin Han was selected by the Jazz in the top position in the first round this year. The Jazz really looked at Lin Han very highly because Lin Han had no defensive ability at the time. As for whether he had defensive ability in the future, with the fact that Lin Han was a yellow race and was a yellow race defender, basically no one would expect him to reach the basic defense in the future. So even the editor-in-chief of the United States today wanted to break the sky and appreciate Lin Han's offense. Lin Han became Jordan's second place at that time, but Lin Han's pick was still predicted by him in the second round, although it was only the second round. This is already very good. NCAA has many players who average more than 20 points per game every year without even the chance to get the second round.

"However, to be able to find so many players at this level of offense, Old Nelson has a very good view of people."

Although the Warriors seem to have a great lineup, this team is very different from other teams in the league to select players, which means that this team is actually going to the wrong way. Such a player without many comprehensive qualities is basically impossible to win the championship in the current NBA. There are too many outstanding data in the NBA, and they can become an All-Star, or even a superstar player but miss the championship throughout their lives. Some of these players are really born at the wrong time, but some are really not likely to become champions.

Military player. This Warriors has not been a team that can win the championship since their selection and formation. There are too few players in the team with comprehensive qualities. However, the selection of Old Nelson is indeed excellent because although most teams in the league choose the right people to take comprehensive qualities, there are also teams that take the right skills to take the right skills. Most of these teams are doing very miserably, and the Warriors are the best players to get the right skills. The reason for this is naturally because they have an extremely outstanding head coach.

Of course, Stockton admires Old Nelson's vision very much at this time, but Lin Han can't appreciate it at this time. Although the Warriors are not a team that can win the championship, and Chris Gaitlin is not a player of comprehensive quality due to physical reasons, this left-handed inside player is really enough to make Lin Han disgusted on the offensive end. Although Lin Han believes that he will meet this guy in the next game and position his lock-type defense on him, he is not afraid of no matter how strong this guy is, but this is the next game after all.

So at this time, Lin Han really found that his strength had very big flaws. At least in the inside defensive skills, he really couldn't show other skills except for a Chamberlain lock-up block. Although Chamberlain's skill is strong, it also has a big flaw. He can only lock one player in each game. Facing the player who is locked, Lin Han is really super powerful, but he is not facing the player who is locked. Lin Han's defense decline is not a level of one or two.

At this time, Lin Han was a little depressed by such a substitute inside player who was suddenly brought up by Old Nelson. On the other hand, when the second quarter started, when he saw the substitute players from both sides fighting on the court, Old Nelson's face was also very ugly at this time.

You know, he changed the team to put Avery Johnson on the bench in this game. I really believe that Avery Johnson can replace Gatlin, because this money Spurs players performed well in the bench for a lot of time in the regular season and scored a lot, but it is obvious that the old coach forgot that he had the backup point like Gatlin, who had All-Star strength, was a key insider. In this case, Avery Johnson's breakthrough was naturally very impressive.

Now that the Warriors' bench is gone, he really can't rely on Avery Johnson alone, so when the Warriors suddenly collapsed after they came on the bench, Old Nelson's face looked a little bad.

“Avery is not for our team”

Looking at Avery Johnson who was leading the team alone on the court, Old Nelson said with a pale face. And the Warriors' assistant coach on his side, the legendary league center Bob Rainier with a very gentle personality, also sighed.

Because he knew that with Old Nelson's words, Avery Johnson would definitely not be able to stay with the Warriors next season.

However, cleaning Avery Johnson away at this time is next season, and the most important thing this season is how to avoid being swept by the Jazz. As for the current game, although Old Nelson has solved the problems encountered by the team's starting lineup, there are problems with the team's substitute lineup again, which makes Old Nelson a little ugly.

After watching the team's poor performance in the bench lineup for three minutes, the old coach of the Warriors almost gritted his teeth and called a timeout after playing for only three minutes in the second quarter, and then directly replaced all the team's starting lineups. This posture is already very obvious, that is, the Warriors are going to fight the Jazz!

After Old Nelson lost patience with the team's bench, he was obviously ready to use the team's starter in this game.

Faced with the change of the lineup like Old Nelson, Jazz head coach Jerry Sloan was calm, or rather, the team's substitute lineup did perform well, and in three minutes the Jazz's leading score reached 6 points, which also gave Jerry Sloan enough capital to give Jazz starters more rest time.

However, this is also the current change of Jerry Sloan. If Jerry Sloan was the same as before, the Warriors and Old Nelson would compete with him for the starter of the team, the Jazz head coach would definitely fight directly. This guy was also a ruthless man who could slap Malone in the playoffs for 48 minutes.

However, although Jerry Sloan wants to learn to be more calm and calm, after the Warriors started all the starts, the Jazz's originally dominant substitute lineup was not so calm and calm. Although the Jazz's substitute lineup was trusted by Jerry Sloan, everyone had good fighting spirit, but the gap in strength was still too big. After just two minutes of persistence, the Jazz still allowed all their starting players to play.

However, although he was defeated by the Warriors' starting lineup, the Jazz's substitute still looked relaxed when they came off the court, or were very happy, because this was the first time this season that this group of players have gained the trust of Jerry Sloan. With Jerry Sloan's cautious personality in the past, Jerry Sloan would definitely not be able to sit still.

Jerry Sloan, who wanted to change himself, wanted to comfort the Jazz's substitutes, but when he saw the team's substitutes' expressions at this time, he really didn't know how to comfort him, because these guys didn't need him to comfort him at all. Instead, he looked grateful when he looked at him, which surprised Jerry Sloan at this time. He had never enjoyed the gaze of his team's substitutes before, or he had never chosen a substitute who believed in his players before. As a team that did not have much money to build a team, there was nothing wrong with the head coach not believing in his substitute lineup.

At this time, Jerry Sloan was feeling all kinds of things that had not happened before because of his own changes, and the starting player of the Jazz who returned to the court would soon make up for the decline caused by the team's substitute.

The Warriors' offense has made them more three-dimensional because of Gatlin's addition, which makes Lin Han's defense very difficult. The Warriors' offense has indeed swept away the decline in the previous two games and returned to normal, but the Warriors' offense has indeed returned to normal, and the defense is also normal. In this case, the two teams have become extremely open on the court, especially Lin Han. In the first quarter, he still wanted to try to block Gatlin, but after he came on the second quarter, he no longer tried such a thing. In these two games, he focused most of his energy on the defensive end. He quickly changed his game style and once again focused on his attack with the Warriors.

"A very exciting game, both teams played very well in this game. Especially the Jazz, this is Lin Han's first full-strength attack after playing center. This team's first full-strength attack, or the Warriors must make changes now, otherwise if they continue at such a rhythm, they will collapse sooner or later."

When the two teams focused all their energy on the offensive end in this game, the game was really exciting, especially the confrontation between Lin Han and Gatlin. At the beginning, Lin Han was the main defense, Gatlin was the main attack, and Lin Han could not defend Gatlin, so it seemed that his confrontation with Gatlin was at a disadvantage.

But after Lin Han started attacking, Gatlin's situation that seemed to be in an advantage soon disappeared. The Warriors' All-Star insider was soon at a disadvantage. After all, although Gatlin rarely had enough physical contact with others on the defensive end due to his own physical reasons, he wanted to win this game, and when he saw Lin Han attacking him again and again, the Warriors' insider also showed the strength of his defensive end.

However, although Lin Han doesn't have many inside offensive skills, it's not too small. Gatlin can shoot mid-range. Lin Han can also, and even further. Gatlin can play hooks, Lin Han can, and even better. Gatlin can play back and break through, Lin Han can, and even better.

Although Lin Han is not lethal because of his back-shaped back-playing skills, there is a very lethal Malone next to him, and this Jazz player is the player with the most free throws in the league.

"I really didn't expect these two teams to play to this level!"

When both sides played from the first half to the second half, even the head coach of the Warriors in the fourth quarter directly allowed the team's starter to play for the second half and did not make substitution adjustments during the bench, Collins on the sidelines was also a little surprised at this time that Old Nelson's determination to win the game.

However, seeing the Jazz, who had no substitutions at this time, especially when Lin Han was facing Gatlin's defense, after turning his back and breaking through Gatlin, facing Weber who was assisting in defense and Gatlin who caught up to make up for defense, and directly forcibly pressing Weber from top to bottom in the air or riding Weber to complete the dunk again, the Bulls head coach also sighed.

The Warriors have worked very hard, but after the second half, this team has gradually fallen at a disadvantage. It has to be said that this team is indeed not as physically as the Jazz. They played five games with the Spurs in the last round, and their starters did not have much rest time in this game, so in the middle of the fourth quarter, the Warriors almost only had Gatlin left with good physical fitness to complete the attack, and in the end, the game turned out to be Lin Han vs. Gatlin.

Although Gatlin is indeed very strong, when the Warriors really put all their hopes on him, the team is not far from failure.

In fact, when this game came to the second half of the fourth quarter, the Warriors, who were behind, could not catch up with the Jazz anyway. Instead, the score difference became larger and larger, the old Nelson on the sidelines was already feeling more and more sad. Until the end of this game, the Warriors lost to the Jazz 113-122 at home, the old coach's face was almost pale at the moment of the game. Because this was the first time he had been swept by a team in a single round of the playoffs after he came to the Warriors!

At the end of this game, Old Nelson was still thinking about the first time he was swept after he came to the Warriors, while Lin Han on the field was panting and looking at his opponent not far away in this game, the Warriors' substitute inside.

Lin Han really didn't expect that one day he would play with a substitute player of the Warriors to this level in a game. This is simply something that makes Lin Han feel like a fantasy.

This made Lin Han look at Gatlin when other Jazz players celebrated wildly after entering the Western Conference Finals.

Lin Han's expression was still full of surprise and confusion at this time. He really wondered why such a player was willing to play as a substitute for the Warriors. It seemed that this guy was very satisfied and had a good relationship with his teammates. Lin Han couldn't understand at all.

At this time, although Gatlin was unable to win because of his best efforts in this game, he felt a little disappointed, but there was still no expression on his face. He just betrayed his emotions as he looked at Lin Han's tight fists.

Finally, the Warriors substitute turned around and left after a fierce look at Lin Han, while Lin Han was still looking at the back of the Warriors player with a puzzled look, not paying any attention to the cheers of many Chinese fans who supported Lin Han at the scene at this time.

In this game, Lin Han changed the "comprehensive" of the previous two games. Lin Han, who scored 44 points in this game, really excited the Chinese fans on the scene. For them, they really like to watch Lin Han's scores more.

"Congratulations to the Jazz for being the first team to enter the division finals. Their performance in this series is excellent, both players and coaches, and they are excellent in the final performance. They deserve the victory of this series."

This is a completely different evaluation from the Jazz's promotion in the last round! (To be continued)
