Chapter 42 Two Young People Who Have Been Beaten
"Jerry, 2+1, no, it's 2+2. This guy's attack this time was so beautiful, so beautiful."
When Lin Han patted his jersey and stood up from the ground, the atmosphere on the court was extremely strange. Except for Brian Russell, the players on the Jazz were all standing aside with a look of surprise, as if they had not woken up from the impact Lin Han had just brought.
This is even more true for the Supersonics players. They have always been the most stable player on the team and the best outside player on the team's defense. Gary Payton actually made such a huge omission when he attacked and defended one time. Even in the Western Conference Finals last season, facing MVP player Kevin Johnson, Payton did not have the same embarrassment as before, so the players on the Supersonics were also unacceptable for a while.
But no matter how the players on both sides were on the court, Jazz assistant coach Feier and Johnson on the sidelines were already excited to shout in front of head coach Sloan. Lin Han's offense just now was so beautiful. He turned around and made a fake move and a real jump shot in a row, almost in one go. He had never seen Lin Han use it like this during training. It seemed that this kid was really hiding too deeply.
Of course, although Feier and Johnson were a little out of control, Sloan was still very stable as the team's head coach. After all, the team has not yet established an advantage. The gap between the two teams is too small. Although Lin Han humiliated Payton once, everyone knows that Payton will be stronger next time. Lin Han and the Jazz are still not optimistic.
However, Lin Han's performance just now was indeed successful. He also put a lot of pressure on him to take Jeff Malone from the starting position in this game. Although his prestige in the team is no longer low, Jeff Malone's status is not low at all. In this case, if Lin Han, who has always supported the most, performs poorly in this game, his prestige will also drop a lot. The team's veterans may not be convinced of his decision in the future. Now, so far, Sloan is very satisfied.
But just when Sloan thought that Lin Han had not disappointed his expectations, Lin Han, who stood on the free throw line to prepare for the free throw, gave Jerry a heavy blow again.
"What is this guy doing, what is this guy doing, free throws on the toilet? When did this guy learn this kind of free throw? He didn't have this before the game."
Sloan, who was pretending to be deep, was really uneasy at this time. What time has it been now? Lin Han actually went to learn how to take the toilet free throws from Barry or Chamberlain. What is this guy trying to do? Although Lin Han's free throws are not very good, it is better than suddenly changing his posture during the game.
"Jerry, calm down. I think he might have done it before, and his hit rate may be good. I believe Lin is not a person who is prone to brain fever."
Looking at the boss who was a little angry beside him, Feier and Johnson, who was still very excited just now, hurriedly advised that perhaps because Lin Han liked to hide something before, so Feier and Johnson trusted Lin Han very much.
"Hahaha, a very familiar free throw posture. I think Chamberlain and Barry should have successors. I remember that this little guy's free throw was not like this in the previous few games. Perhaps the free throw shooting percentage in the previous two games was too low, so this kid wanted to change a way."
"This is a very good free throw method, but it just means that this posture is very good for Barry, but for Lin, maybe this is the first time he used it like this, so it would be very dangerous, maybe even more dangerous than the previous two games."
Just after Jack Hickoma laughed and said, Lin Han threw the basketball in his hand into the basket in an uproar among the Supersonic fans. For a moment, the Supersonic fans were in a commotion, and the commentator Sicoma on the sidelines was choked by Lin Han so much that he couldn't speak.
Sloan, who was just on the verge of being angry, quickly calmed down after Lin Han made both free throws, but he was also thinking in his heart that when will this kid know this move? He doesn't believe that Lin Han has never practiced it.
"Jack, I think you must be a wizard reincarnation. Today you seem to have been predicting failure. I finally understand why when you retired two years ago, God guided you to leave NBA and start another profession. Now I think the guy who guided you to leave at that time was not God, but Satan. Come back quickly before your golf shop completely collapsed. NBA welcomes you, and ABC welcomes you too."
"Please stop mentioning my golf shop. It is just a child who has just been open for two years. Please let it go. Also, I am not a wizard."
Now the legendary Supersonic insider is very helpless and depressed. As depressed as this supersonic legend, there are also the supersonic fans on the scene. Lin Han is so ecstatic and is simply torturing their nerves. They were originally very happy at the beginning of the game, but now they are all a little nervous.
Lin Han's offense scored four points, which immediately made the balance of power at the beginning of the game less balance, and the Jazz took the biggest lead after the start of the game.
Of course, this four-pointer brought a huge lead to the Jazz and also brought great pressure to Lin Han. Although Lin Han was unwilling to admit it, the guy Payton definitely did not take him seriously before and kept despising him. After that four-pointer, Lin Han suddenly found that his pressure was greater than before.
Fortunately, due to Lin Han's outbreak, Stockton and Malone could no longer ignore him. Moreover, Malone had been attacking hard at the beginning of the game and did not have the physical support for so long, so after one-third of the first quarter, the Jazz's offense finally began to tilt towards Lin Han.
And Lin Han's success rate in this game is really incomparable with the previous two games.
"So strong, this guy's defense is really strong"
I originally thought that after my Kobe-style turn-back jump shot was upgraded to LV2, I could easily use fake moves to get rid of Payton's defense, but the fact is that since Lin Han scored four points, Lin Han, who has become completely serious, has not taken Lin Han's fake moves at all. In this way, Lin Han was left with only the strong pull-up and turning back jump shot under Payton's close-fitting defense. Lin Han, who was not superior in strength, was unable to jump up at all by Payton at the back.
Although Ally said that Payton has not reached his peak yet, and Payton is the top three defensive point guard in the history of the league, even such a Payton is already strong enough. Lin Han has experienced the power of a top defensive player for the first time after entering the NBA.
Of course, although Payton's defense is indeed very strong, Lin Han's every attack requires a lot of physical energy. Although the move of turning back and leaning jump shot does not consume Lin Han's physical energy, it will cost a lot of Lin Han to make this move, which is incomparable to the previous two games.
So, in this case, after only 10 minutes of the first quarter, Lin Han was sweating profusely by Payton, just like he felt like he had completed the entire game before. Fortunately, since then, Payton did not consider his score too much, but instead put all his energy on the defense against Lin Han, otherwise Lin Han would be even more embarrassed.
And when there were 2 minutes left in the first quarter, when Sloan replaced Lin Han, Lin Han was as if he was exhausted when he sat on his bench.
"Lin, it's done well"
After Lin Han sat in his position, Sloan said, "At this time, Lin Han put the towel on his head and gasped loudly."
I have to say that Sloan was very satisfied with the result of the first quarter. This time, the Jazz had only three players with offensive ability to start. Stockton was not the main attack point, so Lin Han and Malone had very heavy tasks. After Malone attacked for a long time at the beginning, Lin Han also completed the task very well.
When Lin Han and the others started, the score on the court was 26-24, and the Jazz were still ahead, which was not easy. Although Lin Han only made 4 of 9 in the first quarter, and scored 12 points in total for 4 free throws, which was much worse than the first two games, but facing Payton's defense with such intensity, he scored 12 points in a single quarter, and caused Payton to make two fouls in the first quarter, which was excellent enough.
Even in Sloan's view, Lin Han's performance in the first quarter today is better than when he scored 33 points in the first quarter.
But what Sloan didn't know was that although Lin Han was satisfied with his data, he was absolutely impossible to be satisfied with his performance. The shooting rate of 4 of 9 shots was indeed very good, but Lin Han knew very well that his shooting rate was definitely not so high. Although this game was the last game of his character explosion, and the effect was not as good as the first two games, it was also effective. In the first quarter, Lin Han scored two lucky balloons. If these two lucky balloons were not counted as Kobe-style turn and leaning back jump shot in lv2, Lin Han only made 2 of 9 shots, and one of the two hits was a four-pointer at the beginning of the game. This can see how bad Lin Han was played by Payton in the subsequent game.
"Is this the only thing I have in my strength right now?"
At this time, I didn't feel Sloan's comfort at all, but Lin Han, who was trapped in his own world, felt a little bit gritting his teeth and blaming himself.
Just when Lin Han blamed himself for not being strong enough, Payton, who was sitting on the bench on the other side, was also uncomfortable.
He was fouled twice by his opponent in a single quarter and scored 12 points by his opponent in a single quarter. Even when facing superstars such as Kevin Johnson, Stockton, etc., he did not have such a mess as he is today.
"Damn, damn, damn!"
At this time, Payton on the supersonic bench also held his hands hard, putting the towel on his head listlessly, and his teeth were grinding. The supersonic head coach George Carl on the other side shook his head helplessly when he saw his favorite general like Sloan.
This may also be a kind of growth experience. The praise I received last season's playoffs was too much, and I was arrogant and was the enemy of all young people.
George Carl looked at the Jazz's bench and found that he was thankful to Lin Han. This was the first time he saw Payton suffer such a blow.
