"Carl, move, Alden, pay attention to your position and protect the basket!"

"Bryan, press it out, expand it, and stick to your defender!"

On May 26, 1994, the day after the Rockets and Nuggets series ended, when many sports media throughout the United States and even the world regretted that the Nuggets failed to stage the final big comeback, The Jazz players have already started preparing for the next round with the Rockets.

Of course, although the Rockets confirmed that they reached the Western Conference finals after defeating the Nuggets yesterday, the Jazz did not start preparing for the Rockets today. As long as the Jazz defeated the Warriors a week ago, this team has been The Rockets are used as the imaginary enemy. However, although the Rockets have been used as the imaginary enemy, the Jazz preparation method has not been unchanged. During this period, Jerry Sloan adjusted the team once.

Although the Nuggets lost to the Rockets, but this team's failure left not only just regret, but also some other things, such as this team dragged the Rockets into the tiebreak to give the playoffs Some of the remaining teams have left some inspirations to beat the Rockets. Although the Rockets were very miserable by the Suns in the first round, everyone can see that the Rockets and the Rockets in the round of the Rockets series. In fact, it has not reached the point where the mountains and rivers are exhausted. The reason why the sun has won two consecutive games of {长＋风rocket}.

In addition to the fact that the Sun's offense is really powerful, Barkley is also really powerful. The more important point is that the Rockets did not prepare as well as the Sun at the end of the regular season. The Suns have been deliberately releasing the Warriors in the second half of the regular season and have been preparing for the playoffs. Although the Rockets did not seem to be slow when sprinting in the second half of the regular season, but for the pressure of the Spurs, this team cannot be without. The Rockets do not have the physical power of a young supersonic, so they do rush in the back. Not up, but this does not mean that they are not trying to keep the top three positions.

Therefore, the Rockets did not adjust when the playoffs started. The preparation was not as full as the sun, and with the Suns' splendid play of giving the sun a bit, the Rockets were a bit stunned as soon as they came up. In addition, Drexler also needs to be integrated into the team, so the Rockets are 0 to 2 as soon as they come up, but soon, the Rockets who have established their feet immediately hit the Suns with three consecutive victories. So although the Sun had led the Rockets 2-0. But the Sun didn't teach others to beat the Rockets. They didn't prove that they could beat the Rockets at their peak.

Although the Nuggets eventually lost the series, this team has taught other teams how to beat this team!

At least from the Nuggets, the Rockets pressed the single inside line with halftime pressure, forcing the Rockets' peripheral players to deal with the ball and the offensive difficulties, and then used the tactics of Mutombo, who reached the peak, to successfully defeat the Rockets three times. !

However, the Nuggets' tactics are really effective against the Rockets playing inside and out. The Rockets' outside players are not very strong except Drexler, although the outside players are generally faster. Even the Sun's running will not kill them, as long as these Rockets outside players get a chance they can really shoot. But what if you use halftime pressure to not give these Rockets outside opportunities?

As an nba that has been ruled by inside players for decades, it is a kingly tactic. This tactic is very simple. As long as a team with a strong inside can almost play, there is no threshold, unlike running or triangle. There are too many specific conditions required for an attack or a tactic like Princeton. This tactic is also a very easy to crack tactic. Combining internal and external, simply speaking, as long as the opponent cannot combine internally and externally, this tactic will not exist, just like digging The Golden Team won the Rockets in the first three games.

There are two options for making the Rockets unable to combine inside and outside, cutting off the connection between Olajuwon and the outside of the Rockets, or cutting off the connection between the outside players of the Rockets and Olajuwon. Don’t think that these two methods just reverse the name. But, in fact, these two methods are completely different. Cut off the connection between Olajuwon and the outside. At the level of Olajuwon, if the Jazz do not have a Mutombo or Ewing, such an inside line is It is impossible to do so, if the Olajuwon is included, this method will be invalid. The Nuggets are not sure whether Mutombo can cut off the connection between Olajuwon and the Rockets. So this team has a two-pronged approach. Mutombo Boche O'Neal, the other players cut the rest of the Rockets, and finally the Nuggets did it well in three games. The last game proved that Mutombo is indeed one. People can't cut Olajuwon's contact with Drexler.

It is precisely because of this that the Jazz training tactics have changed in the last few days. When the Nuggets have been losing at the beginning, the Jazz's way of dealing with the Rockets is to cover, Malone and Pollinis. The two trained how to sandwich Olajuwon, and when the Nuggets began to win, Jerry Sloan began to practice the team's halftime press, and when the Rockets used Drexler and Olajuwon After breaking the Nuggets' halftime press, today, the Jazz have returned to the strategy of the insider, but a little more is that the Jazz are also training the halftime press.

It can be seen that Jerry Sloan is no longer a static tactical strain, he is also trying to have different changes, but because his strength is not enough, so he does not have many ways, just to let himself The team members drilled things the Nuggets had played before or mixed some other things together.

"It's exhausting, it's really exhausting, Lin, can you not be so tight with me? You clearly know that I am not Drexler?!"

Jerry Sloan is trying to make more diverse changes to the team's tactics, especially on the defensive end. This is a very good thing. For the team, this decision is good, only for the players. It's really tiring and speechless.

After all, no nba player is willing to train a completely different tactical play every day for a week, which not only makes the player uncomfortable, but also makes the player feel that his coach is a little unreliable. After all, even coaches are uncertain, how can they believe this?

Fortunately, the players of the Jazz also know that Jerry Sloan is trying to make himself better recently, so he is trying to change his style. Therefore, although the Jazz players are not very adaptable, they have not dealt with Jay. Risron was dissatisfied.

"Shaun, you are not Drexler, but in Lin's eyes now. You are Drexler, hahahaha"

Of course, although it is true that the Jazz players have been training in the most recent period, it is not really certain. Fortunately, everyone is in a good mood. Even Elliott, who played Drexler, was miserable by Lin Han, but he only complained.

Compared to the other player who pretends to be Drexler, the team's substitute inside Aron Williams, who is a Jazz substitute who is Olajuwon, is a real misfortune. Although he is not as good as Drexler. But anyway, the gap is not so huge, and when Aron Williams and Olajuwon are put together, it will really be a spike, and for Aron Williams, Malone and Polly who pretend to be Olajuwon Nice, these miserable players who were repaired by real Olajuwon, don't mind finding a place on the fake Olajuwon.

In the NBA playoffs, many teams will play this kind of pretending game before the game, Aron Williams was chosen by Jerry Sloan, mainly because he is the same as Olajuwon. Aron Williams is also an insider who can play everything, but unlike Olajuwon. Olajuwon plays well with everything, is a 5x5 king, and Aron Williams is nothing good.

"Yeah, Sean, look at Aron. He didn't complain at all. You haven't been abused by me. It was abused once, not twice or three times."

Lin Han looked at his complaining teammate in front of him and smiled and said, he directly rushed to grab a high steal rate and broke the ball in the hands of Elliott, and then killed like a gust of wind. Dunk was completed in the other half.

"Lin, a very beautiful defense, a wonderful steal!"

"Hahaha, this kid is a poultry [beast, as long as a little carelessness, he can break the ball, I really sympathize with Sean now, in fact, he is no easier than Aron."

Although Elliott was a fake Drake, Lin Han was still very serious during training. It can be said that when Lin Han entered the NBA, the Jazz coach Jerry Sloan defended him. I can’t bear to look straight at it, I only hope that Lin Han can move a little, I don’t expect Lin Han to defend who, but now on the team’s training ground, Lin Han is already Jerry Sloan’s most satisfying player on the defensive end. .

So this time after Lin Han broke the ball directly from Elliott, after the success of the fast break, Jerry Sloan continued to applaud on the sidelines.

"If we also have a center like Mutombo, plus a super defensive end like Lin Han, the Rockets are basically impossible to be our opponents."

After watching Lin Han finish this dunk, Jerry Sloan on the sidelines sighed. After Jerry Sloan finished, Mayfair Johnson nodded.

After the Nuggets opened a window to deal with the Rockets, Jerry Sloan really felt that his team’s future was much brighter. The Nuggets did not have what they had. If the Nuggets had a game in the last game that could contain Dray Kxler's players, Mutombo will not be so miserable, the Nuggets may not lose, but the Nuggets do not have a Lin Han, the same jazz does not have a Mutombo.

And this is really regrettable.

After the teams in the Eastern and Western Division finals were produced, the NBA playoffs soon came to the final stage. Although the performance of the Nuggets did make many media and fans praise, this team almost created history. There has never been a miracle, but after all, the Nuggets still lost, so soon, these media will focus on the Pacers and New York Knicks and the Jazz and Rockets.

The Pacers and the Knicks are also old friends. The Knicks swept the Pacers out of the playoffs in the first round last season. However, although the Knicks won last season, the advantage is not so obvious. In particular, the Pacers' resilience is indeed excellent, especially Reggie Miller, the head of this team, contributed more than 30 points per game to the Knicks last season. The three-point shooting rate is as high as 50% or more. If it is not the team's defense that is indeed a problem, the Knicks may be more difficult to win. After having Larry Brown this season, the team's defense and toughness are stronger. The difficulty of the Knicks Naturally, it will be even bigger. In fact, the Pacers can beat the third bull and the second eagle in a row. It must be said that this team is indeed a team suitable for the playoffs.

The Pacers and Knicks game is indeed very interesting. But compared with the Rockets and the Jazz, it is still a lot worse, because when the Rockets beat the Nuggets, many media have already put the two teams on such a title this time.

"This is a final round ahead of time!"

This is a round of the finals ahead of schedule. The duel between the Jazz and the Rockets was crowned with the winner being the title of the championship. Although this does not seem to respect the Knicks and Pacers in the east, this is the fact of public opinion. . The Rockets and Jazz are indeed the strongest teams.

"The Jazz are very strong. They played very easily in the first two rounds, but we have never been afraid of such a team, because in the regular season we have proved that we are even better. The special player, Hakim Olajuwon, he is an omnipotent player, as long as he is with us, he can not fail, he will cover our penalty area strictly. No one wants to defeat us Defensive, let alone Lin Han and Malone. Not even Jordan, Hakeem will make all Rockets opponents collapse. He is a truly unique player in the league. He is the umbrella for all of us and other teams in the league. Nightmare, here include the Jazz!"

"Linhan and Michael? I said, Linhan and Jordan are very good players, but in my opinion, the only player in the league is Hakim. The Bulls can still enter the playoffs without Jordan and even rank. Very advanced, the Jazz have no Lin Han. I believe they can also enter the playoffs and can go very far, but if we do not have Hakim, then this will be a disaster. He is the real nba. mvp!"

When the league's eyes are on the Eastern and Western Division finals, this is when the league's eyes are on the Rockets and the Western Conference finals of the Jazz. As the Rockets' outside player, Drexler, this The players who played in most of the first two rounds of the playoffs were not very good, but the players who completed their redemption in the most important game, when they followed the Rockets to Utah to be interviewed by media from all over the world, Almost without concealing his praise of Olajuwon.

This is even a surprise for some Houston media. It seems that the former pioneer of the previous two rounds of the series, the player who used to be in the top ten or even the top five of the league, seems to have been willing to play for Olajuwon on the Rockets. , And this is definitely a great news for the Rockets.

"The performance of the previous game? Any team coming to the playoffs is a completely different game. I and the team need to run in, so my performance is not really good, but after 12 playoffs, I Believe me and Hakim, I have no problems with the Rockets, I will not have any bad situation with the Jazz!"

"Lin Han is confident in the championship? Of course, anyone can have confidence in the championship. The Jazz have this strength. Lin Han can dream of his championship because of this strength."

"However, as a player who has reached the finals twice, I will give some advice to young people full of dreams. NBA is a very realistic place. The threat the Jazz poses to us may not even be comparable to the Nuggets."

"Clyde, do you think the Rockets can solve the Jazz in 6 games or less?"

"Of course, why not!"

When the game between the Jazz and the Rockets is getting closer and closer, and when the Rockets all come to Salt Lake City, the players of Lin Han and the Jazz who have been lifted have not shot the Rockets. The Rockets are the outside players. It has already sprayed on Jazz and Lin Han.

In the current NBA, if you don’t put two harsh words at the beginning of the playoffs and don’t throw a few **** words in the game, it is definitely a faceless presence.

So for the kind of thing that Drexler put on the Jazz team on behalf of the Rockets before the game, everyone is very happy to see things, but only let no one think that Drexler actually put so ruthless.

Not only touted Olajuwon, but also placed Lin Han and Jordan directly under Olajuwon to let Olajuwon step on, although Olajuwon is indeed very strong, it can also be said It is unique. If Drex takes Olajuwon to step on Lin Han, there are really few people who will have opinions. The media and fans who support Lin Han at most will choke twice, but did not expect Drex Le Jordan even stepped on it.

You have to know that Jordan fans have been asking the Bulls and the League to bring Jordan back. The League and the Bulls are also making public opinion for Jordan’s comeback. At this time, Drexler said that this is really surprising. After all, Jordan left, but he did not really declare that he would not play nba.

And according to the news of Jordan’s baseball team, although Jordan is indeed playing baseball, this guy has nothing to do with the absence of the team’s baseball training to keep his basketball training status with his basketball trainer. Even many Chicago fans are in Jordan can often be seen in the field stadium. According to this guess, Jordan has already planned to come back.

"Clyde is right. Hakeem is a unique player. I think Lin will prove that he is also a very unique player in this Western Conference finals. That's right, I appreciate him. He is the best I have ever seen. Of young players, of course, if there is a chance, I will prove to Clyde again that I can still be a unique player"

What’s even more crazy is that there has always been no response to many things in NBA. Even Lin Han joked that Jordan left because he came to the league and did not respond to such things. Jordan, a player in Drexler After the "Unique Theory" came out, he actually stood up and responded, earlier than Lin Han and the Jazz came out to respond.

And from the meaning of this guy's words, this guy is really ready to come back!

In the face of the provocations of the Rockets and Drexler, it is impossible for him to endure with Lin Han’s character, especially after Sloan has no restrictions on him, he is even more impossible to endure, just let Lin Han Unexpectedly, Jordan actually stood up to help him respond to this matter.

And this also made Lin Han, who had wanted to come out personally and Drexler scold for a while, actually did not know how to join this battle.

Because after Jordan came out to respond, Drexler's "unique" theory was quite extensive. If Jordan said that he was a unique player, no one would refute anything. Jordan had proved himself, but Austria Why is Lajuwon? Although the Rockets-headed player is indeed very powerful, UU reads www.uukannshu.com but has not yet proved himself. Is it too early for Drexler to say so at this time?

Is Drexler really too arrogant? Or in the Rockets' view, after they defeated the Nuggets, and the team has run in well, the other teams in the league are no longer their opponents? So they feel that their champions are already holding hands?

As far as the current situation is concerned, it is naturally that the latter one is more likely. I am afraid that from the perspective of the Rockets, they have indeed gripped this year’s championship, especially Drexler’s. After the remarks caused a huge shock, Olajuwon did not come out to make any response. The attitude like the default can explain many problems.

"This group of guys is really arrogant, it's really uncomfortable"

On May 28, 1994, on the morning of the Western Conference finals of the Jazz and Rockets, Lin Han came to the team's training room locker room early in the morning and looked at the latest newspaper today. The expressions of other Jazz players at this time are similar.

As the team with the best regular-season record in league history, whether the Rockets really look down on them or pretend to be a gesture, it will be very uncomfortable. (To be continued...) ()
