(The third is sent to)

On June 1, 1994, the third game of the Western Conference finals between the Jazz and the Rockets. This game was also the first game for the Rockets to return to home, and of course the first game for the Jazz away. 》.

For this game, there is a lot of information to be pondered before the game, especially when the outside cores of both teams are both suspended. This is a game that is very difficult to determine how it will run.

Because of Lin Han's absence and the poor performance of Drexler's previous two games, for many Rockets fans, they expect their team to be able to play a turnaround without Lin Han's absence.

For the fans of the Jazz, because the tactics of the first two games of the team are correct, even if Lin Han is not there, and because Drexler is not the strongest point of the rocket outside, the fans of the Jazz are not It is believed that Lin Han's absence will affect the Jazz tactically.

And since it cannot affect the Jazz tactically, it means that the Jazz still have a tactical advantage. Naturally, having an tactical advantage will naturally make the Jazz fans more confident that their team can beat the Rockets on the road, even Some fans of the Jazz have swept the Rockets 4-0, and then swept the Knicks in the finals to win the team's first championship in the playoffs.

The Jazz won the playoffs. In terms of the horror dominance of this team in the regular season, it is true that only the victory of the playoffs can be worthy of the Jazz’s first record in the history of the regular season. The playoffs and the regular season are different after all. Jazz fans can't help but be arrogant, but it is very surprising that there are a lot of fans who have such ideas. There are even many!

A game, especially a playoff game, can make the fans of both teams more optimistic. This is a very incredible thing. After all, in the playoffs, the two teams always have to separate One up and down. If the strength of the two teams is clear, there will naturally be a fan who is full of confidence and will not be optimistic, and if the strength of the two teams is similar. Then in such a crucial series, the fans of both teams will not be optimistic.

But the fact now is that, because Lin Han and Drexler are out, no one can predict what kind of trend this game will be. Since no one can predict how the game will go. No one knows who these two teams are now strong or weak, so it is not surprising that the fans of both sides are thinking about the benefits or that both teams are thinking about the benefits.

It's just no matter what the idea is, when the game starts, after the two sides actually exchange fire, the answer will come out, and the answer of this game is just unimaginable!

"Incredible, it is really incredible!"

"The Rockets actually recovered all the decline in this home game. Is it really incredible?!"

"Is our opponent really the jazz team who can't beat this game? Is it really the suffocating jazz team?"

"12 points. 12 points, we actually didn't start long before the fourth quarter. Leading the Jazz by 12 points! This is 12 points!"

Before the game started, the Rockets fans were very optimistic because they were not optimistic. If the game loses, then the Rockets will be 0-3 to the Jazz. In the absence of Lin Han, the ball The team lost, then Lin Han came back, Drexler came back. With Lin Han’s suppression of Drexler, it’s strange that the team can win. The most likely situation is that after losing in this game, The team was swept directly by the Jazz!

Although the Rockets’ playoff results in the best seasons are all tepid, but they have reached the Western Conference finals, and in the absence of Jordan, everyone is competing against each other. Such a chance Not many, in this case, the team champion can not get the first talk, and finally swept by the Jazz, the face is really a bit difficult.

So, even if the Rockets are really not optimistic in this game, the Rockets fans can’t really think so much of the optimism, so after Lin Han’s suspension, their mentality is really good, really good, right This game is full of hope.

It's just that Rockets fans who are optimistic about Rockets fans who have hopes for this game can't imagine that the Rockets will play like this at home!

The Jazz were crushed by the Rockets in the game! There is almost no counterattack, and the Rockets are leading from the beginning of the game to the fourth quarter, and it seems that it is likely to lead until the end of the game, because after the beginning of the fourth quarter, the current Jazz team Like the Rockets in the previous two games, the team has no hope of winning!

In terms of the strength of the Jazz, even if this team does not have Lin Han, they cannot be suppressed by the Rockets. After all, the strength of this team is really not weak. Even without Lin Han, the Jazz’s The strength is also the strength of the Western Conference finals. It is just that this game has been hoodwinked by the Rockets from the beginning. This is not because the strength of the Jazz players is not good. The pressing defense will fail so much in this game, really fail, and the speed of failure is incredible!

Although Lin Han was out of the game, the Jazz who had the tactical advantage in the first two games were naturally impossible to change their tactics. Since Lin Han is no longer there, let Elliott start.

Elliott is not as good as Lin Han in terms of strength, but the former Spurs All-Star is a player of the same type as Lin Han. He can attack, defend, break through, shoot with speed, and has a good offense. It can be said that in addition to height, a fully weakened version of Lin Han, Jerry Sloan mentioned him from the bench as a starter. It can be said that it is fully prepared, and did not destroy the overall tactical play of the Jazz.

With Elliott's strength, although he can't completely replace Lin Han, but in the face of a rookie guard Kassel, Elliott is absolutely no problem. After all, in NBA, not every rookie is Lin Han or Hardaway and Weber, there will not be many young people with big hearts. The Jazz are absolutely unlikely to be able to meet a rookie with a big heart and a high strength at a low pick, so it is arguable that pressing Elliott to Kassel is a strategy that does not seem to have any omissions.

In this case, even without Lin Han, the Jazz are not afraid of the Rockets.

It’s just that Jerry Sloan or the Jazz didn’t think that all the results they predicted before the game didn’t even predict that Elliott really couldn’t beat Kassel. This wasn’t because of Elliott’s overall strength. Not enough. In fact, Elliott's strength is very strong and indeed comprehensive. But he is better offense, although the defense is also good, but did not reach the level that can kill Kassel. Especially the Jazz really underestimated the strength of this rookie!

For a team playing tight, one point is a problem, it is a very big problem, if the Jazz. There is no player like Mutombo who can have a very strong defense ability. If there is a problem with one point, it is likely to collapse directly, and in fact how could the Jazz only have a problem with this point!

When the Jazz play tight, they can’t kill Kassel. Although this rookie has insufficient experience, he can fight and can charge. The Rockets don’t need him much experience, as long as they can break through the Jazz’s defense. As for the offense, Olajuwon can be left to you!

In this game the Jazz players are playing tight. Not only was he shocked by Kassel, but Olajuwon was like the previous games. Constantly eating this Polynes, but this game is different from the previous games. When Olajuwon was eating Polynes, none of the Jazz could play a fast break like Lin Han. Response to Olajuwon players!

Elliott was originally expected to have high hopes, this player does have a good offense, he is a comprehensive player, a comprehensive player with a better offense than defense.

But what makes the Jazz speechless is that his impact is indeed very good, but compared with Lin Han’s impact, it is not a grade at all. Although Elliott has a strong offense, his offense is strong in his overall All of his offensive and defensive defenses have reached a very good level, but if his impact alone is used to bombard the Rockets’ defense line, he has not yet reached the four zeros that can hit the Rockets’ defense line with one person. Eight strengths!

This is also the second accident for the Jazz in this game. When they pressed, when the Rockets played Olajuwon, they could not find a player who responded to Olajuwon, which made the Jazz's offensive efficiency greatly. Is lower than the Rockets' offensive efficiency.

After all, pressing defense is originally a tactic of letting go of the opponent's strongest point in disguise. If the offensive efficiency is not as good as others, then this tactic is a total failure.

In this game, the Jazz's pressing tactics failed from the beginning, and it was still terrible. The offense could not score, and the defense was full of loopholes!

I’m afraid Jerry Sloan and everyone on the Jazz didn’t think that Lin Han’s absence would bring so many problems. When the defense cannot be pressed, the Jazz can only play conventional tactics, and conventional tactics. , Because Lin Han is not here, this team can play the pick-and-roll with ease, but the Rockets can also play the combination of inside and outside calmly, originally the xjbd (blind chicken [Barbados]) Rockets can not play the Jazz, But now that the two teams are fighting for the team, then this is completely caught in the rhythm of the Rockets. In this case, the jazz team that was beaten up as soon as it came up will be a little bit behind this game. This kind of performance is completely predictable!

Although Karl Malone is indeed extremely active in this game, when facing Robert Holly, the head player of the Jazz almost played him as much as he wanted to play one-on-one. After all, Robert Holly is a cameo The fourth position, but he is a player who is more than the third position. Although he is stronger than Malone in height, but the level of the two sides is too different in strength, so Robert Holly's defense of Malone alone in this game Basically it was a failure, but in the face of Malone’s undefensible point, the Rockets did not care at all, because in addition to bullying Robert Holly, Malone had several times to kill the inside and Olajuwon was singled out by the Olympics. Rajuwon took the risk two times and soon became honest.

Without Lin Han, Malone can't even get inside. How could the other players of the Jazz kill the Rockets to single out Olajuwon, so this game came to the end. The Jazz started to play the old pick-and-roll offense. The slow shooting is getting more and more outside, and when the Jazz shooting is getting more and more outside, the Rockets defense will come up.

After all, when the Jazz can't impact the basket and the impact is completely inadequate, the Rockets' defensive players are really easy. Just press the Jazz players and don't let them have the opportunity to shoot.

under these circumstances. When the Rockets in turn use the tight-fitting defense against the Jazz, I am afraid that the Jazz did not think of breaking their heads before the game. This game will be such a process!

Not to mention the Jazz players and coaches, even the Rockets head coach Tomjanovich who caused the result in this game.

Press conference after the game the day before yesterday. The reason why he is considered to be stupid by Lin Han and Drexler's conflict is definitely not just to let the team players find a reason for failure so as not to lose confidence in the future game.

It's important to keep the Rockets' players from losing confidence in the game because of losing, but more importantly, he really is a pressing tactic to the Jazz or is helpless to Lin Han. Sometimes things are so helpless.

The Rockets are the same as the Jazz. The Jazz was a mid-range shot for a thousand years of pick and roll. The same is true of this Rockets team. It is a 10,000-year internal and external tactics and a thousand years of outside shooting. The tactics are extremely single. When the team encounters tactical problems, it is basically impossible to have other than the substitution adjustment Adjustment method.

Since it is time for a substitution adjustment, then he is ready to make a big one. He would like to try what changes will the Jazz and Rockets have without Lin Han's influence?

When implementing this plan. Tomjanovich is really helpless, which is the only way he can think of. He had thought about the many changes that Lin Han's absence would bring, but he hadn't thought that Lin Han's absence would collapse the entire offensive and defensive system of the Jazz!

"It seems that the kid is more important to the Jazz than he thought."

Looking at the struggling Jazz on the court, there is no way to go crazy to the basket and Olajuwon's one-on-one Malone, Tomjanovich on the side of the court smiled a little. Laugh, and this is the first time he has smiled since the game started.

Because after seeing the failure of almost no hope in the first two games, he finally saw the slightest hope of the team to win this round of the series!

Of course, this time Tang Shuai has found the possibility that the team may win this round of series, but this time Jerry Sloan felt extremely bad.

The head coach of the Jazz team was really inadequate in the game, although the reputation he lost after the success of the first two games because of the "drawing" Nuggets tactics was finally recovered, but although the reputation lost It’s back, but it’s unrealistic for Jerry Sloan to have a qualitative leap in strength in such a short time. After all, conservative and radical are just styles. Now Jerry Sloan is really not so conservative anymore, but this does not mean In an instant he became a godfather coach like Pat Riley or Chuck Daly and Cardinal.

Therefore, after there is no room for adjustment in this kind of personnel, and there is no room for change in tactics, he is indeed a bit ignorant!

"The Jazz's defense lacked a real outside defender without Lin Han, and it was not aggressive. Although Russell, Stockton and Elliott are not defensive loopholes, the three The lack of physical talent and the lack of defensive pressure make it difficult for them to play effective pressing."

When the game distance is getting closer and closer, looking at the performance of the players on both sides of the field, Larry Bird also said with some sighs, sometimes nba is very realistic, pressing the defense to play well, defensive The skill is not the first, the physical talent of the defensive player is the most important, especially the physical quality and oppression of the leading player must be extremely strong, which can suppress the opponent in the momentum, and now all the outsiders of the league Among them, Lin Han's oppressive defense is the strongest!

Without Lin Han, the Jazz's pressing was inefficient. Although many people didn't think about this before the game, it was an inevitable thing.

Because Elliott couldn't suppress Kassel in talent, he couldn't force Kassel at all. And Elliott can't force Kassel, Kassel can help Kenny Smith and Maxwell, so that Stockton and Russell not only do not have a leader who can help them. Instead, their opponents have more helpers. In this case, it is not surprising that their pressing holes are full.

This is a defensive issue. Lin Han's outside defense and assist defense and lead defense are indeed extremely important to the Jazz, and more importantly, not only defense, but also on the offensive end!

The reason why the Jazz changed from a team that averaged only five three-pointers per game this season to one of the best three-pointers in the league is because of Lin Han. Lin Han's three-pointer is a strategic weapon for the Jazz. His outside shot is the biggest weapon to open the offensive space for the Jazz. In addition to his three points, his impact. It is also very important to contain Olajuwon. Without the pressure he faced by Malone, it was not a level at all.

Therefore, when this game reached the end, in this game, it was extremely necessary to prove that Malone found that he led the team to encounter more difficult problems than Lin Han alone led the team to face Olajuwon. This jazz player who wanted to prove himself in this game was a little dazed. Especially when he finally overcame some fears of Olajuwon and rushed to the basket with Olajuwon heads-up again and again, the results were equally disappointing.

For this game, Karl Malone is really full of expectations and hopes. In the face of Lin Han, who is now more and more aggressive, as the boss of the team, he really has to show his own brilliance, but in the end The result of this game seems to make him a bit desperate.

Although alone led the team to beat Olajuwon. Lin Han is the same, but in Ma Long's mind he is completely different from Lin Han. He is the boss of the team, and his standards are different from those of Lin Han. If Lin Han can’t do it, he can’t do it. Then he can use it to convince Lin Han or convince others? !

When thinking of this, looking at the rocket center in front of him that was always insurmountable, Karl Malone had a grudge on his face and struggled.

"It's over, the game is over for the Jazz"

When this game, which had become extremely uncertain due to the absence of Lin Han and Drexler, ended in such a way, many reporters on the sidelines were somewhat unbelievable, because this game proved that Lin John's importance to this jazz team.

Because of Lin Han, this jazz team looks like a talented team, it can fly away from the ground, can use its own talent to crush most of the league team can even crush all the league **** Team, the first two Rockets were overwhelmed by them!

But without Lin Han, this team looks like a very mediocre team. Even the team's strongest Malone does not look so scary, let alone others, at least here On the Jazz, not many people can see what amazing talent they have.

"Is that Lin Han's value to this team? It's unbelievable!"

The Jazz with Lin Han and the Jazz without Lin Han are two completely different teams!

At the end of the game, the Jazz lost 14 points to the Rockets 84 to 98 away, 11 of 24 shots, 14 of 12 free throws and scored 34 points and 14 rebounds. Malone eventually failed to lead the team to defeat Rockets ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ And in this game the Rockets Olajuwon once again played 5x5, 15 of 22 shots in the game scored a game-high 38 points with 16 rebounds and 6 assists Five steals and five blocks, and Olajuwon became a player who played 5x5 twice in the playoffs just like Lin Han.

And at the moment when the game ended, the live TV broadcast shot was very interesting, directly aimed at Lin Han sitting on the sidelines. Obviously, the language of the final shot of this game reminded the world to Lin Han The importance of this team!

And at the post-match press conference at the end of the game, the Rockets head coach Tom Janovic, who had recently scolded Lin Han not long ago, once again vigorously touted Lin Han under Jeremy Sloan.

"Is the victory of this game due to Lin Han's absence? I don't want to say yes, but this is indeed the fact. I admit that Clyde's evaluation of him is wrong. He is the most special player in the NBA. He is a jazz. The most important player on the team, he is also a ubiquitous player. I think his value to the Jazz can be seen in this game all over the world!" (To be continued...)
