Chapter 358 We can win!(1/2)
Facing the Challenger team who share the same hatred, it is almost impossible to defeat the opponent with one or two people. Lin Han is very clear about this, especially when the starting lineup of both sides came down, both sides replaced five substitutes from five to five. Facing the substitutes of the Challenger team, the substitutes of the Legend team that were tricked made Lin Han, Hardaway and Larry Bird sitting on the sidelines speechless.
This is not to say how these players are. In fact, even if Zhu Wan Howard paddled on the court, the paddling in this article was not about letting go. Just like Dominic Wilkins of the Lakers before, this guy was not very enthusiastic, but he was not yet at the point of letting go. He just like clocking in to work. There is no problem with the All-Star performance. After all, he doesn't want MVP, and he has nothing to do with Lin Han, so why should he work hard for Lin Han?
However, when the opponent is fighting hard, even though he has not let go of water, the difference is obvious. From the previous game, Weber dares to keep letting Howard go to attack Lin Han. Even if this guy has a little enthusiasm for running for Lin Han and has a little offensive heart, Weber dares not attack Lin Han so crazy or Hardaway.
Is Howard's choice wrong? Of course, there is nothing wrong. He just doesn't want to attack, or he is just not confident in his attack.
Even when Larry Bird wanted him to attack more resolutely. Howard directly said that his touch was not very good, so he should not take action. That means. If you ask me to continue attacking, then let me rest. If you insist on letting him play, then he has already said that he doesn't feel good. If you really do something bad to do, Larry Bird should not blame him.
Damn, I said that. What else can Larry Bird do? Lin Han on the side was quite speechless. Even if Larry Bird hadn't been in a custody, these guys would have done something even more speechless.
Of course, the Legend's substitute players actually have a trend, or Marshall and Ross among the Legend's substitute players are similar. They do everything, but they just don't attack. In this case, the Challenger's defense is completely against Eddie Jones, Pierce and Marshburn. This is a very speechless thing. If you say that they don't work hard, they work hard and are also defending on the defensive end. In addition to not taking action and not running too much on the offensive end. If teammates call cover, they will also come out to cover and pass the ball will not make any mistakes on purpose. But they just don't attack!
Damn it if Marsh hadn't had his strong personal ability, the Challengers could not stand it. Eddie Jones and Pierce would probably have been killed by these two people on the defensive end under the digging of such pits as Ross and Marshall.
Although Eddie Jones is not very good in personal ability, but he is far from being able to do things like Glen Robinson. If he really wants to play one, his efficiency will not be that high, let alone Pierce. Pierce has a good personal ability, but no one comes to restrain him. Even Iverson was not so easy to mess with last year. NBA players and high school students are still a little different. Even Kobe, if Lin Han hadn't kept feeding him the ball, it wouldn't be so easy for this ambitious high school player to win a world with his own abilities in this game.
So, when the second half of the first quarter began, except for Marshburn, the entire Legends team were almost all pitfalls, and Marshburn could have restrained Eddie Jones and Pierce. However, although this guy's personal ability, especially offensive ability, was amazing, but this guy's passing and organization were really average or terrible. In this case, even if he could restrain his opponent, it was difficult to find Pierce and Eddie Jones.
When both sides started, Lin Han and Hardaway fought against each other, but now it was good. When both sides were substituting, it was replaced by Mashburn fought against each other!
Is there anything more detrimental than this?!
So, as both sides made their first quarter game progressed, David Stern in the stands laughed directly at this time. Obviously, the game was definitely going according to his design!
"Mr. Stern, you've been having a lot of fun this time. Be careful of Lin's anger."
Looking at the legendary team who was cheated by David Stern on the court, Jerry West, who was sitting next to David Stern, laughed after a little speechless. The president beside him was so weird.
"Hahahaha, for some purpose, I won't care about anyone's anger, Jerry, what you should know"
After David Stern said with a smile, Jerry West shrugged helplessly and said with a smile.
"Mr. Stern, don't be too happy too early now. That boy hasn't given up yet."
Lin Han did not give up, of course David Stern knew, but even if he didn't give up, it would be difficult when there were only a few players who could trust a team, and all the others were pitfalls, and these few players were all players in the same position, even if Lin Han was really superior to all the players on the court, it would be difficult.
You can see from the first quarter that when the first quarter, when the first half was about to end, the Legends were already behind by nearly ten points. In the end, when Marshburn made his last shot in the first quarter, the entire half ended 20 minutes. The Legends are currently behind 28-36 and gave the Challengers 8 points!
This rookie competition is completely different from last year. The Challengers were not as strong as this year. The same legends this year have more pitfalls than the legends last year!
It is almost impossible for Lin Han to catch up with the 8-point difference in the second half with his own strength and defeat the Challengers!
If David Stern was a little doubtful before the game started, then now, David Stern has no doubts!
After the half-game between the Legends and the Challenge Team was finished, the Legends finally fell behind by eight points. This score difference is not actually very huge. At any level of NBA, the critical point is ten points. Only when the score difference between the two sides exceeds 10 points can there be a real difference. Although the eight-point distance is very close, the score difference is indeed not large.
Therefore, for the fans on the scene, the two teams only scored more than 60 points in the half-time, and the score was a low score of 28 to 36.
However, no fan on the scene would think it was an extremely bad game. On the contrary, it was an extremely wonderful game!
The reason why this score occurred in this game is not that both sides did not play well in the offense. In fact, although both teams were temporarily pieced together, the two teams performed very well!
The Challengers' offense was very good. Whether it was Grant Hill or Ronnie Fields, the breakthroughs of these two people were simply unpredictable. Hill is one of the most powerful players in the league in breakthrough ability. This game, this super popular star definitely did his best. As for Ronnie Fields, the same is true. Although this kid is just a high school student, this guy's speed, bounce and physical talent are simply shocking!
If the Legends were not Lin Han's reasons, the two of them might have lost the Legends' breakthroughs. In the end, it would not become the current challenge team's offense. The Legends' defense is equally exciting or Lin Han's defense is equally exciting!
Of course, the Challenge team played extremely well, and the Legends’ offense on the other hand was not bad. Although the Legends did not have sharp swords like Hill and Fields, Lin Han and Hardaway cooperated quite well. Especially Lin Han, the captain of the Legends used the Challenger team to double-team himself. There were a lot of open passes. If Kobe Bryant, the high school student, wasted a lot of opportunities, the Legends would not have only scored in half in this game. Similarly, the reason why the Legends had half a game wasted.
Even 30 points have not arrived, which has a lot to do with the Challengers' defense. The team almost recklessly attacked Lin Han, completely ignoring the fast breaks of Howard, Marshall and others, and they all tried to attack Lin Han and Marshburn. This approach ultimately proved extremely correct, because neither Howard nor Marshall used this opportunity to score. Of course, as for why the two only available inside players, Howard and Marshall, do not score points, is questionable, but there is no doubt that the Challenger's defense is indeed successful!
When both teams play extremely well in offense and defense, the low scores of this game will not be dull. After all, just like the first offense and defense of this game, Ronnie Fields' epic dunk was blocked by Lin Han. The final result was no score, but this does not mean that this offense and defense are not exciting!
So, when the half-time of the game ended, the fans and reporters on the scene woke up from the warm cheers, and it turned out that half of the game ended!
This is a game where you don’t have to care about the score, because almost every round of this game exceeds the score!
In this case, when the fans woke up and saw the players from both sides entering the player channel and seeing the scores of both sides on the sidelines, almost all of these fans were in an uproar again, just like when they saw that Kobe had hit so many irons after half of the first half, when Lin Han and the others left the court!
"The Legends actually fell eight points behind? How could this happen?!"
"Yes, I didn't feel it at all. The Legends were already eight points behind. This game is difficult!"
"Well, this game is over. I thought he would succeed in defending the MVP in this game and eventually achieve a legend. Now it seems that the Legends will lose today!"
"Yes, the Challengers' performance in this game is really great. Whether it is coach Jordan or the players on the court, their performance is extremely exciting, especially Fields and Hill. Faced with Lin Han's almost terrifying ability to assist in defense, these two people dared to attack Lin Han again and again. Oh my God, when I recalled the previous scene, I was crazy. Even in the NBA, no one dared to face Lin Han like this! I swear, the end of this game will only become a fan of Hill and Fields!"
"That's right. Fields' performance in this game was really great. Although the first goal was unfortunately defeated by Lin Han, the next game. This high school student is terrible, and his strength and talent are as strong as it is unbelievable. Compared with him, both Kobe and Jermaine O'Neal seem to be a little lacking. Jermaine O'Neal stands on this stage like an ordinary high school player and is still trembling. Kobe is too immature, as long as nothing happens, there is no suspense about the first high school student next year!"
"It's not just that there's no suspense for the first high school student next year, but I even think the player in the league who has the most hope to break the monopoly of Lin Han and Jordan against the defender will not be Hardaway. It won't be Hill, I'm afraid it's Ronnie Fields!"
"Break the monopoly of Jordan and Lin Han?!"
When reporters and fans from all over the United States who woke up from the side of the court kept talking about the first half of the game, as the Legends team, who was behind in the game, Larry Bird sighed helplessly in the Legends locker room.
He is really helpless. The team is a player. Apart from the cute high school student Jermaine O'Neal, the other insiders, whether Howard or Marshall, are not overused. It’s not that these two are not strong enough, but that these two people don’t take this game seriously at all!
If the Legends could have a replacement player, he would have replaced these two players long ago.
He had thought of letting Lin Han play inside, but if there was a problem with the team's inside, it did not mean that the team's outside line was no problem. Apart from Lin Han and Hardaway, two outside lines who could organize the offense, belonged to Jaylen Ross who did this job in the Spurs. In other words, if Jaylen Ross did his best in this game, Larry Bird could of course throw Lin Han to the inside line. Then he pulled Jaylen Ross to the starter to share the pressure of Hardaway. After all, even if Kobe didn't listen to Hardaway, no matter how strong the organizational ability was, if Kobe didn't listen to him, there was no way. When Hardaway was able to take Lin Han and Van Eksel alone,
It was because Lin Han and Van Eksel were obeying his commands enough. But Kobe, the little guy, did not obey the command at all, so in the whole first half, except for Lin Han constantly feeding him the ball, Hardaway never looked for him. It was not that Hardaway had any objections to him, but that he and Hardaway could not pee at all. The two of them needed to divide the work and cooperate. When one person was in the "offensive" situation, the other person had to "take it". Otherwise, this change in the attack and acceptance trend often sounded simple, but it was not that simple. At least, if it weren't for Lin Han, Kobe and Hardaway would have played on the court because of the ball rights.
If, in general, with Larry Bird's personality, it would be aborted. However, this kid is a player arranged by the league personally. According to David Stern's instructions to him, Kobe cannot be aborted. In this case, the only one who can make this high school student well is Lin Han. Let Lin Han go to the inside, and the team's outside will definitely be in chaos, if it is just Hardaway and Kobe.
Of course, he had thought about transferring Eddie Jones to the starting lineup, but the key is that when the substitute is so pitiful, Eddie Jones and Marshburn can finally play the game to get Eddie Jones to the starting lineup. Not to mention whether Eddie Jones can play the role of a buffer similar to Lin Han between Hardaway and Kobe. The key is what to do with Marshburn? Put the cute little O'Neal on the bench? Let the opponent's team pinch Marshburn alone? Marshburn can indeed fight with one or two, but if he really wants to fight with three or four like Lin Han, he will be disabled. When Marshburn sees Larry Bird cheating him like this, he will give up the ball like Howard or Jaylen Ross. Who will he cry?
It can be said that David Stern threw Kobe, a young man with a strong offensive power, to the Legends team, which was a big pit. As long as Kobe did not become a "little [suffer]" and did not accept the command of Hardaway or others, then Lin Han could not go to the inside. As long as Lin Han did not go to the inside, then the legendary team brought by three inside players, Howard, Marshall or O'Neal Jr., had to carry the big pit.
When he thought of this, Larry Bird had an urge to cry for a moment. Last year, his legendary team had no point guard, and this year his legendary team had nothing, which was a pit year by year. And this time he had no idea what to do. Lin Han hadn't thought about how to do David Stern after the game, and Larry Bird was ready to take revenge on David Stern after the game ended.
This bastard agreed to give him a chance to draw lots in advance this year. It turned out that the guy had already dug a pit for him and was waiting for him to jump. In the end, he was afraid that he and Lin Han would have too strong jumping ability to crawl out of the pit. If he finally gave them another shovel and sent Kobe over directly.
David Stern is so tricky, Larry Bird has thought about getting Kobe down and not letting David Stern do what he wants. If this is nothing before the game begins, it is not a big deal. The key is that the game has been halfway through and Kobe still performs poorly. Seeing this Kobe who is still in a state of interest and wants to regain his face in the second half, if Larry Bird really put him on the bench like this, I'm afraid Kobe will be really useless. Although he is very unhappy with the big pit sent by Kobe, David Stern, Larry Bird, he still recognizes Kobe's strength and is a very promising player. It is impossible for Larry Bird to destroy a promising young player for an All-Star rookie game. He really can't do such a thing.
So, in the end, he could only stand there and be cheated by David Stern, and now he didn't even have a chance to resist. Thinking that he was the only one who was impolite, but now he was impolite by David Stern once. Larry Bird felt more depressed the more he thought about it. When Larry Bird looked at Lin Han and was about to see how Lin Han faced the current situation. What made Larry Bird even more depressed was that Lin Han was talking and laughing with Kobe. Although Kobe ignored him, Lin Han still smiled. When he heard what Lin Han said, let alone Larry Bird. Even other legendary players in the locker room were already sweating all over his forehead.
Doesn’t this kid know how strong Kobe is in this game? He even comforted the kid and said that he would continue to pass the ball to him in the second half?
Has Lin Han given up on this game?
When I thought of this, Larry Bird really didn't know what to say.
Of course. At this time, Larry Bird was really made in the locker room by Lin Han and David Stern. He didn't know what to do. In the locker room of the Challenge Team on the other side, Jordan and the Challenge Team players were much more excited.
Although they often played in the first half of the game, because Lin Han was too strong, and Fields and Hill's breakthroughs were already so strong, Lin Han blocked so much. If Kobe hadn't had too many irons in this game, if there were too many undercover teams in the Legends, they might have been killed by the Legends in this game. However, now, in fact, it has been proven soon that no matter how strong Lin Han is, he would have no way to defeat them alone!
The victory of the challenge team is almost certain to win!
"Guys, you did a great job in the first half. In the second half, we need to continue to work hard and knock Lin Han down. When you defeat Lin Han, you will be recorded in the history of the NBA All-Star Rookie Championship. You blocked a tyrant from reaching the top. You will be the greatest brave and hero in the history of the rookie championship!"
When the great master Jordan constantly uses various gorgeous words to boost the morale of his team players, I am afraid that many head coaches in the league will be shocked when they see this scene, because if they usually say that they are as stingy as Jordan, they will probably be criticized by the players. However, in the face of Jordan's encouragement, the starry eyes of these players of the challenger looked at Jordan like they were looking at Jesus.
Almost all of these young people regard Jordan as their idol. Look, Ronnie Fields' hands from the little guy from Chicago may have been swollen.
These guys don't care what Jordan says at all. As long as Jordan stands with them and fights together with them in a game, they will be extremely satisfied.
Of course, if Ronnie Fields is replaced by Kobe at this time, Kobe will definitely not be as enthusiastic as Fields when he looks at Jordan. When Kobe looks at Jordan, he will probably think: "I must take this feathered car and replace it!"
However, at this time, Kobe had been thrown by David Stern to Lin Han.
Jordan was encouraging his team's players at this time. The players who challenged the team were almost motivated by Jordan. He even wanted the game to start immediately and directly knocked Lin Han down.
Why did Lin Han behead him?
Isn't this obvious?
Although the first half of the game was very fierce and the fans were very happy to watch, the fool could see it. In this game, the Legend team was able to play like this. Lin Han was alone in hushing the team for the team, constantly creating opportunities for other players on the offensive end. Not only did they have to defend Hill on the defensive end, but they also needed to assist in defense for their own inside. If it weren't for Lin Han in the first half, the Challenge Team would have been exhausted by the Legend team. At least this was the idea of the Challenge Team and Jordan, and it was also the idea of all the fans, media and even commentators on the scene!
So. At the beginning of the second half, the starters of both sides returned to the court again, and there was no change in personnel. The Legend still kept Kobe and O'Neal Jr. on the court. The fans and reporters at the scene were once again in an uproar. Obviously, they could all see that these two high school students were more than one street worse than Fields on the opposite side, and were the second biggest culprits of the Legend's backwardness. There was no problem in adjusting these two people during the half-time adjustment, but they did not expect that Larry Bird would actually leave these two people on the court!
"Don't Larry Bird want to win this game? Have the Legends admitted defeat in this game? Is Lin Han ready to give up?!"
"Why are Kobe and O'Neal still on the court? These two were a joke in the first half. They had no way to compare with prides of heaven like Iverson Garnett and Ronnie Fields. They have proved that they could not show their strength on a larger stage. After this rookie competition, the value of these two drafts will definitely drop sharply. Is it necessary for Larry Bird to give these two guys a chance?!"
"If Lin Han could continue to choose Garnett, the game would never have become like this. However, Garnett and Fields are both from Chicago. They would not have given up Jordan and selected Lin Han. Lin Han was really cheated by several high school students on the team. Even if Kobe and O'Neal do not have the strength of Fields and Garnett. As long as they have the strength of Carter, it would be fine!"
He was ridiculed by the fans on the scene, even when the players from both sides returned to the court. The players in the challenge team looked at O'Neal and Kobe with a sarcastic look. O'Neal Jr. really has no heart for a strong man. He was not a genius before, but the reason why he became a peerless genius was because his height suddenly grew at a rate of almost 10 cm a year. He used to be just an ordinary player, just a supporting role. He never thought that he would become the protagonist one day, plus his sex
Ge is not as arrogant as Kobe Iverson. In this case, when O'Neal Jr. is really standing on this stage and competing with the best group of young people in the United States, he is really inferior and timid. Even after the game started, fans on the scene or fans in front of the TV wanted to laugh when they saw O'Neal Jr., thinking that he was always cute and slapped slower than others on the court. There was no way. His nervous head was now full of mud.
Faced with the almost "ridiculous" uproar of 20,000 fans at the scene, O'Neal's face was almost a bit scary at this time, and his legs were trembling. As for Kobe on the other side, he was not as nervous or slightly timid as O'Neal. Faced with such doubts, Kobe must have more courage.
"Okay, don't care what others think, just do your own thing well."
Looking at O'Neal, who looked a little gray at this time and Kobe, who was gritting his teeth and extremely dissatisfied with the audience, Lin Han also smiled and patted the two of them gently on the backs.
Kobe actually didn't need him to comfort me. The key is O'Neal Jr. It doesn't matter if David Stern tricked him in this game. Although Lin Han was a little unhappy, he didn't care so much. The key is O'Neal Jr. If Lin Han was the biggest victim of David Stern's digging, then O'Neal Jr. is the second largest victim!
This kid just turned from an ordinary person to a peerless genius, but was brought to such a miserable legendary team by Larry Bird, and before he knew it, he himself turned into a pawn.
Since Larry Bird is unwilling to destroy Kobe, he naturally does not want to destroy O'Neal, who he personally chose. After all, he chose O'Neal to replace Garnett, and he also hopes that he can grow up with Lin Han. He has not grown up yet. If he loses confidence in the end, he will be really a tragic crime. Therefore, even if he really loses this game, he will not give up the young player he chose. Such a blow is a bit big for young people like them, especially O'Neal, who was an extraordinary genius who used to be an ordinary person, and his personality is not so tough. Of course, if such players really mature, this type of players will become more resilient than many other geniuses, because they can endure loneliness more. They have been ordinary people, and they do not have so much pride. They can still rise like weeds after sitting on the bench for several years.
Of course. At least, O'Neal, nowadays, does not have that tenacious vitality. If he is really stepped on by Larry Bird, it will be really ruined.
So, for this game, Larry Bird is really ready to give up. There is no way, the team has too few players available, and there are two big pits such as Kobe and O'Neal Jr. Even if the Cardinal is alive, he will vomit three points in the face of such a scene.
"Lin, I'm really sorry for this game. I can't bring you a victory."
Looking at Lin Han on the court who was comforting O'Neal Jr., Larry Bird also smiled bitterly.
When even Larry Bird cannot have enough confidence to win a game, then this game is a terrible game.
As the most professional abc in the world, after the second half of the game started again, they didn't know what the story happened in this game. Even if they couldn't fully know, they could probably guess a lot. In addition to some explanations from the two commentators, Magician and Collins, the TV broadcast camera kept sending the camera to David Stern, who had always kept smiling at this time. This lens language is really too "subtle".
To be continued...
