This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 162 The Chinese Derby
After going through a long recovery period, the 2006-2007 season can be said to be McGrady's last relatively healthy season. His footsteps move and shoot, and he seems to have regained some of the lightness and agility of the past. His slender but explosive calves, Still allows him to get past most defenders with absolute first step speed.

However, he also encountered trouble today. Gerald Wallace is an excellent forward defender. His defense can be classified as the strongest at the small forward position, probably AK47 Kirilenko, Little Prince Prince, as well as Sean Battier who was also in this game, these titans who are known for their defense are placed on similar ratings.

In fact, back injuries and knee injuries still have some impact on McGrady, both physically and psychologically, and the latter seems to have a greater impact than the former, because many people will take into account their own injury history, When encountering the need to exert strength in the injured area, I will always not trust my body enough.

So in the opening stage of the game, McGrady will still try more carefully.

McGrady tried to take a step forward, but found that he couldn't get rid of Gerald Wallace completely. He didn't choose to carry Gerald Wallace forward and go hard, but directly jumped and pulled. But it was obvious that the shot seemed a bit reluctant, and he felt it was short in an instant.

"Backboard!"

McGrady yelled, and Yao Ming under the basket tried his best to block Okafor and Zhou Lin behind him. His broad shoulders found a good opportunity for him under the basket. The basketball fell into Yao Ming's arms, only But before Yao Ming picked up the ball to make a second attack, the 185cm Raymond Felton stabbed the ball from bottom to top, and Yao Ming immediately lost control of the ball again.

In the competition for the floor ball, Yao Ming was no match for other inside opponents, and the ball was given to the Bobcats.

When facing the Rockets with Yao Ming, almost every team will strive to increase their speed in the offensive and defensive rounds.

Although the Bobcats are not the best fast-paced team in the league, in fact, the team's lineup is very suitable for bombardment. There is no need to question the movement of positions 1-4. Can suppress more than 99% of the power forwards in the league, and Okafor himself is also a swingman at the [-]th or [-]th position, so he is naturally not slow at the center position.

Of course, Bernie Bickerstaff is not a fan of bombardment, and Raymond Felton of the team is not a Hall of Fame commander like Nash. He can contribute nearly ten assists in every game, but most of the time, his choice of handling the ball is questionable.

After all, Yao Ming was able to run back and forth at the beginning of the game. The ball was in the hands of Raymond Felton, and he didn't get on the ball in time. How much one person's dribbling affected the flow of the ball. The speed of passing the ball is forever Faster than dribbling.

Back in the positional battle, Zhou Lin and Brandon Roy made a cross, Zhou Lin sank to the bottom corner, and Brandon Roy circled up to catch the ball.

Brandon Roy couldn't pass McGrady alone, he could only call a pick and roll from Okafor.

What is not black and white is that McGrady's defensive talent is also top-notch. Judging the defensive area by bullet speed and wingspan, he is not afraid of almost all players in the position of swingman. It's just how much McGrady is willing to spend His strength on defense and his desire to win a game will affect his defensive ability.

If McGrady can't grab it, then Yao Ming must use the big to guard against the small.

Brandon Roy's skills are very balanced, and he is also a relatively high-quality presence in the team in terms of breakthroughs. Once Yao Ming comes up, Brandon Roy will definitely gallop down, and if Yao Ming doesn't come up, Brandon Roy It will choose a mid-range shot.

It must be admitted that Yao Ming has never been a high-quality individual defender.

Height and speed curb his defensive upper limit. If it is purely used as a support frame and top man, Yao Ming will be a good choice.

However, this is the stage when Yao Ming's physical fitness is the best at the beginning. When encountering a pick-and-roll and changing defense, Yao Ming will still take a step up, but it is only not far from the basket. He will control the appropriate distance and give Bran Don Roy some pressure on the shot will do.

Brandon Roy finally chose to force Yao Ming, and at this time Zhou Lin was also using Gerald Wallace's pick-and-roll to cut to the other side of the inside line.

Roy was spared and almost circled around the basket with speed, while Yao Ming just raised his hands high and defended in a smaller semi-circle. At this moment, Zhou Lin finally came out of the circle, and Brandon Roy was directly After hitting the ball, Zhou Lin took advantage of the opportunity to make a layup.

It was too late for Yao Ming to block the shot.

Zhou Lin used his continuous running position to score two points for the Bobcats.

Yu Jiaxie said: "Zhou Lin, with unremitting air-cut running, finally got a chance to make a layup. It's ok, let's get two points first. Facing his teammate Yao Ming in the national team, Zhou Lin played like that. It's 100% invested."

"Haha, after all, it is your master. We are also happy to see the scenes of us two Chinese people fighting for each other on the NBA stage. Of course, I also hope that Lin and Yao Ming can play brilliant performances this week. .”

Zhang Weiping nodded and said: "As a rookie, Zhou Lin must be bold, don't be afraid of making mistakes, and make a move as soon as possible."

And in the next round, McGrady took the initiative to play the ball for Yao Ming. After Yao Ming got Okafor on the inside, McGrady gave Yao Ming a lob. Directly taught the young Okafor a lesson.

"Well, yes, this Okafor seems to have just passed Yao Ming's nose. The height difference is too much. As long as Yao Ming lifts it up and hits it, and the hand feels good, this Okafor basically rubs the ball. Less than a moment."

Zhang Weiping said: "On the offensive end, Yao Ming has a lot of experience in playing Okafor, who has little experience and is not tall enough."

"Now Zhou Lin and Yao Ming each scored a goal for the home team."

And after Zhou Lin scored a goal, Battier's marking on him became more stringent. Zhou Lin even felt that sometimes, Sean Battier was growing on him.

Sean Battier's defense has always been the kind of physical confrontation with wide opening and closing, but the kind of detailed control with a degree of relaxation. Zhou Lin can only make contributions in other aspects, such as grabbing rebounds, or giving Teammates support.

However, today's Bobcats seem to have not come out of the influence of the last game against the Spurs. Raymond Felton and Gerald Wallace had two shot choices, and the Rockets missed a shot. , open Hu continuously.

When Yao Ming faced Okafor, he played smoothly. In the end, Zhou Lin, who forced him, could only keep coming up to help defend. Yao Ming immediately assigned it to Chuck Hayes, but in the end Zhou Lin broke the situation with a foul. an attack.

Bernie Bickerstaff frowned, and chose to temporarily replace Zhou Lin, while Zhou Lin walked back while admiring Chuck Hayes' three-stage free throw.

Zhou Lin can only comfort himself psychologically, and it is worth it to exchange his foul for a classic shot.

Slovenian center player Primoz Brezek replaced Zhou Lin and put Okafor, who was only 208 cm, in the fourth position.

Bobcats' strategy is to let the 218CM Brezek limit Yao Ming slightly in height.

This effect did work, but it only made Yao Ming's offensive feel slightly lower. When the Bobcats contained the inside line, McGrady and Alston made two consecutive three-pointers from the outside line and reached 5' in the first quarter. At 26, the Rockets had a 10-point lead, 19-9. The Bobcats were constipated offensively, but the Rockets were blooming internally and externally.

The Bobcats also seem to have lost this attribute of a strong team nemesis.

Although Gerald Wallace scored four points in a row at the end of the first quarter with his own fighting.

But when Zhou Lin returned to replace Gerald Wallace again, the Bobcats were already 12 points behind the Rockets.

The lineups of the two sides have also undergone a major change. For the Bobcats, the backcourt combination of Raymond Felton and Brandon Roy has not been changed, and Zhou Lin came up after a rest. Argentine striker Walter Hermann.

The Rockets made more thorough substitutions, leaving only Sean Battier, Luther Hyde at the first position, and European Kobe-Spanoris at the second position. , The power forward went to Uncle Huo, Juwan Howard.

There is also Dikembe Mutombo who does not know what year it is. Well, in fact, Yao Ming has not had a good enough inside substitute throughout his NBA career.

Previous substitutes include Dikembe Mutombo, who doesn't even know how old he is in the NBA, and who is at the end of his career when he came to the Rockets; Haiye, who is 1.98m tall, and Hayes even served as a starter for several seasons Center, and what he still doesn't know is that after more than ten years, a guy named PJ Tucker will come to the Houston Rockets and take on the title of the league's most mini center with him; and he has been traded away Swift, is a rough insider who dunks in addition to dunks.

This also put Yao Ming's endurance to the test, and there were many reasons for the repeated injuries in the later period.

Zhou Lin will basically return to the familiar third position when Gerald Wallace is not on the court, and he is more adapted to this style of play.

In this lineup, Zhou Lin's ball holding ratio will be further improved.

Facts have proved that Brandon Roy and Raymond Felton don't feel good when facing Tracy McGrady and Alston. The two are currently 8 of 2 combined, and one of them is 4 of 1.

And the Rockets' defense, which led by as many as 12 points, seemed to be slack.

As a former opponent, the Slovenian center forward made a solid cover for Zhou Lin, and seemed to have secretly tripped. Battier staggered a little, but the referee ignored it. Zhou Lin went around the outside line and finally received the ball. up.

Battier hasn't followed up for the first time, and the Rockets are not allowed to switch defenses.

What Zhou Lin faced was Juwan Howard, who was walking slowly.

When Second Uncle Huo saw Zhou Lin flashing past him, he probably recalled his glorious years, full of his appearance when he was young.

One of the Michigan Five Tigers, the winner of the first [-] million yuan contract, once the head of the Wizards, is now ruthlessly corroded by the years. Although he is loved by most Chinese fans after coming to the Rockets, this It can't hide the fact that he has transformed from a star to a rotation, and his efficiency is also declining year by year.

And on the inside, there was an older guy who raised his hand and waited for him.

However, Zhou Lin didn't give Uncle Mu a chance to wag his fingers. He threw a half-shot and easily jumped over the latter's five-finger barrier to score two points.

"I'm really afraid of being young. The old team of the Rockets has nothing to do with a highly mobile and tall striker like Zhou Lin." Yu Jia also said with emotion.

"One thing to say, although Zhou Lin is young, he is not like other stunned youths in the NBA. He is very experienced in handling the ball. If the ball has a lower parabola, or if he wants to layup or dunk, he will definitely be shaken by Uncle Mu. fingers."

Bernie Bickerstaff has clearly seen that the Rockets are obviously weak in the bench stage, especially the inside line. It can be said that their offensive and defensive capabilities will be quite inferior.

And at this time, Zhou Lin came up again, leading the transition with Brandon Roy from the bench, hoping to catch up for some points in the bench stage.

第一节比赛周林得到4分2篮板2助攻，夏洛特山猫队以22-31落后休斯敦火箭队9分。

Brandon Roy and Raymond Felton, who played the whole quarter, chose to rest at the beginning of the second quarter, and Zhou Lin and Okafor played with three substitutes.

In the starting lineup of the Rockets, only Alston came back, and the substitute Bunche Wells also appeared at the beginning of the second quarter, replacing Sean Battier.

Bunche Wells, who joined the Rockets this season, was highly anticipated at the beginning of the trade, but after playing nearly [-] games, he found that Wells was not that easy to use, especially under Van Gundy's system. It is also destined to be one of the rocket passers-by.

Bunch Wells already has the attribute of breaking out in a contract year, that is, for a bigger contract to break out. In the last contract year, he performed well in the Trail Blazers in the 2001-2002 season, averaging 17 points + 6 rebounds per game +1.7 steals, 38% three-point shooting, in the game between the Portland Trail Blazers and the Los Angeles Lakers, he played a lot of amazing performances, so the Blazers management directly took the bait, a 4-year 3 Wan's contract was directly placed in front of Bunch Wells, and then Bunch Wells, who had received a big contract, began to become lazy, his sense of presence on the court plummeted, and the outside shooting package that had been developed was directly returned to him. Instead of shooting coach, the unbearable Portland management threw Bunche Wells to Sacramento.

2005-2006季的邦奇.威尔斯又到了合同年，他在常规赛打出了13.6分7.7板+1.8次抢断的数据，成为了近四年比赛里最好的赛季。

And when Bunch Wells challenged the defending champion Spurs in the first round of the playoffs, he scored 23.2 points, 12 rebounds (of which 4.2 were offensive rebounds) and 62.5% shooting, and the defenders he faced, However, Bruce Bowen, who has been selected to the first and second defensive teams all the year round in the league, if we look at the data of the regular season and playoffs of the season, the 29-year-old Bunche Wells should indeed receive a high salary. contract.

But looking at Bunch Wells' career, the planning is not very professional, and even a little egotistical.

"We don't worry about what the fans think of us at all. They don't matter to us at all. They can boo us every night, but if they meet in the street, they will still come to us with a photo and sign us. Why they're fans and we're NBA players"

This is what Bunch Wells said after he was swept by the Lakers even though he had outstanding statistics five years ago.

Fishing in troubled waters in ordinary seasons, practice hard in the contract year, and just play something in exchange for money.

The typical game is to make money.

There are not a few players in this category in history, and there is one in the Rockets in history. The latter once got a contract close to the maximum salary in two different teams, and he himself is just a second-round pick. .

On the other hand, Bunch Wells is not so smart. In the free trade market this summer, apart from Ben Wallace who left the Pistons for the Bulls, Bunch Wells is the biggest fish up.

It was unwise for him to reject the last big contract of his career—the five-year 5 million offered by the good Kings and later increased to 3700 million, while Bunch Wells always believed that he was worth at least 3850 million a year, similar to Contracts for high-value middle-income earners.

During this period, the Kings coach Adelman left, and the newly appointed Musserman directly shook his face at Bunch Wells' chatter about 150 million lobs, hum, love to sign or not, in Bunch Wells While he was still twitching, Salmons signed with the Kings directly under the mid-level contract, blocking Bunch Wells' way home.

In the end, the Rockets signed Bunch Wells back to Houston for 2 years and 500 million.

And this signing was considered by the media at the time to be a worthwhile signing price.

Everyone thinks that the Kings have sent warmth to the Rockets again.

Of course, the Rockets have a history of making deals with the Kings, and it is not once or twice to send warmth to each other.

Later, a group of high-quality players such as Artest, Garcia, Martin, and Brad Miller all had the experience of being sent to the Rockets by the Kings.

The big stick at this time, probably still has illusions, playing data in this short-term contract of the Rockets, and then signing a big contract next summer, but according to the progress of history, it is 2 million US dollars in two years, but it is Bunch. Wells' last official contract in the NBA.

In the days of the Rockets, Bunch Wells was not very easy, because he had to start from the bench, whether it was shooting guard Tracy McGrady, or Sean Battier, who was acquired from the Grizzlies for a lot of money, It's not that Bunche Wells can't be replaced, and Jeff Van Gundy will not give Bunche Wells enough shot rights like Adelman.

In this context, Bunch Wells is gradually marginalized. He is a scorer capable of averaging 20+ points per game. If he is willing, he can achieve good results both offensively and defensively. But now he has no chance to perform.

But Bunche Wells' ability is still there, but his attitude has obviously deviated. After playing, head coach Van Gundy repeatedly emphasized that Bunche Wells should cheer up, but Bunche Wells did not He didn't seem to take Zhou Lin too seriously.

In the first round, Zhou Lin faced the lazy Bunche Wells, who had a slightly defensive attitude. He made a three-pointer and brought the score back to 1-25. It was hoped that Bunch Wells could sustain the current attack, but Bunch Wells' too impatient attack directly allowed Zhou Lin to seize the opportunity.

Zhou Lin, who got a black elbow, fell down immediately, and the referee also whistled the foul with a straight face.

It's not over yet, Bunch Wells is still defending Zhou Lin in the next round, and puts Zhou Lin on the ground directly in the position grabbing stage.

The referee didn't blow it, but after Zhou Lin got up, he received the ball and took advantage of his height to pull out Bunch Wells.

With 5 points in a row, Zhou Lin started the second quarter. With 9 points, he even surpassed Yao Ming's 8 points and McGrady's 7 points, becoming the highest in the game.

This Bunch Wells is really strong, Zhou Lin feels so, but his mentality is indeed not particularly good.

27-31, Jeff Van Gundy called a timeout.

Yes, he can tolerate players with problems on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, being scored by a rookie in two consecutive rounds is absolutely not allowed by Jeff Van Gundy.

Not long after the start of the second quarter, Tracy McGrady was replaced, and before Yao Ming came back, he played first with a substitute.

Maizi's scoring ability is indeed beyond doubt. When facing the rookie Zhou Lin, he played very resolutely. The explosive power of the first step is still the top in the league. Two consecutive ruthless shots made the score of the two teams was pulled apart again.

36-28.

With 7'22 left in the second quarter, Yao Ming, Hayes, and Shane Battier all came back together.

But Zhou Lin was replaced by Bernie Bickerstaff.

Because as soon as Yao Ming came up, the Bobcats had to increase their height, let Okafor play the fourth position, and match Blazek to contain Yao Ming's offense.

"Good job!" Bernie Bickerstaff patted the back of Zhou Lin who was off the field.

Zhou Lin has played for less than 10 minutes so far, but he has scored 9 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists. For Bernie Bickerstaff, Zhou Lin's performance is already perfect. Zhou Lin Fully implemented his tactical intentions.

In fact, Bernie Bickerstaff gradually found a way to use Zhou Lin.

The two didn't have any deep hatred at first, and Zhou Lin was a done deal in the Bobcats. Bickerstaff also gradually accepted Zhou Lin. Zhou Lin's seriousness and performance on the field were more and more recognized by Bickerstaff. It can be felt that the barrier between him and head coach Bernie Bickerstaff has gradually disappeared with the deepening of the game. Bickerstaff even praised Zhou Lin in front of the media several times.

In the middle and late part of the second quarter, the rhythm has been controlled by the Houston Rockets. When it fell into a positional battle, a Slovenian Brezek could not be restrained at all. Uncle Huo also got a lot during his partner with Yao Ming. Few shooting opportunities, but also grasped a lot. Fortunately, during this period, Raymond Felton used breakthroughs to cause damage, even shooting with penalties, and scored 7 points to quench his thirst.

Zhou Lin reappeared at the end of the second quarter, but he missed two three-pointers from the bottom corner. He only broke through Hayes, got a free throw, scored 1 point, and barely scored his first half. raised to double digits.

At halftime, the Houston Rockets led the Charlotte Bobcats by an absolute advantage of 58-42.

姚明砍下11分4篮板1盖帽，麦迪14分3篮板3助攻。

山猫队这边，除了周林，杰拉德.华莱士6中2砍下6分4篮板1抢断，雷蒙德.菲尔顿9分3助攻，布兰登.罗伊有5分入账。

Looking at the situation, the two teams did not have the intense feeling of sparks hitting the earth, and the direct matchup of the Chinese derby that Chinese fans are looking forward to is very rare, and even the time is staggered.

However, the Charlotte Bobcats at home did not give up lightly.

At the beginning of the second half, the Charlotte Bobcats stepped up their defense, and Brezek replaced Zhou Lin in the second half.

It's not that Bernie Bickerstaff thinks that Zhou Lin is not good, but that he puts more hopes on the substitute stage, and he hopes that Zhou Lin can bring the substitute to chase points.

At the beginning of the second half, Brezek competed wildly with Yao Ming. He did not hesitate to pay for two fouls and also made Yao Ming pay for one foul.

Because the Bobcats began to strengthen their defense, the Rockets' outside line began to be inaccurate. Alston and McGrady shot three-pointers at 45 degrees and circled, but they all came out of the frame.

However, the Bobcats' offense was not good either. Brandon Roy scored 9 points on 7 of 17 shots against the Spurs in the last game. In this game, he took 9 shots but only hit 2 goals. Bernie Roy Bickerstaff had to switch players.

Zhou Lin appeared again at 7 minutes into the third quarter, but this time he played in the second position, because Gerald Wallace, Okafor, and Blazek were still on the field .

And the Chinese fans finally saw Yao Ming's matchup against Zhou Lin's Chinese players amidst the long-awaited calls.

After Zhou Lin and Brezek's pick-and-roll, Yao Ming had no choice but to switch to Zhou Lin's position. Zhou Lin directly caught Yao Ming, but Yao Ming was not ambiguous. When Zhou Lin rushed to the basket, Yao Ming swooped so hard that he didn't want to give Zhou Lin a chance at all.

Zhou Lin only felt a mountain pressing towards him and was thrown to the ground.

The referee's whistle blew in time, and Zhou Lin made Yao Ming's fourth foul and had to execute a free throw.

Yao Ming looked innocently at the referee, but the latter still signaled Yao Ming to foul. Yao Ming smiled awkwardly, then turned around and pulled Zhou Lin up together with Gerald Wallace.

Jeff Van Gundy touched his shiny forehead and waved to Yao Ming, let's get off the court and take a rest.

At this moment, the Houston Rockets still hold a 75-point lead at 58-17, so he replaced Yao Mai directly in one go.

Zhou Lin hit two free throws steadily, and his personal score came to 12 points.

"Although Zhou Lin was deprived of starting in the second half, in the substitute lineup, Bickerstaff will give Zhou Lin more firing rights, and Zhou Lin's current efficiency value is also the highest among the Bobcats' players. -2."

Yu Jia said: "Yao Ming fouled for the fourth time. He received two fouls in the third quarter, but the Rockets led by a big score. There is a high probability that Yao Ming will not play again in the third quarter. There are still two fouls that can be released. In the fourth quarter, it was pretty safe."

75-60.

In the second half of the third quarter after losing the combination of Yao and Mai, the back line led by Luther Hyde and Alston did not let the team fall into a too passive situation, and the crooked machine gun Luther Hyde made two consecutive goals Drifting three-pointers filled the vacancy in scoring, but Brandon Roy recovered a bit after playing the follow-up. Zhou Lin made two breakthroughs to Brandon Roy, and the latter made all hits, also for Zhou Lin Added two more assists in the stat column.

When both sides were able to score, Yao Mai was not in a hurry to come back. Throughout the second half of the third quarter, the two sides came and went, and the fight was very lively, but the score difference did not close too much.

Zhou Lin hit a mid-range shot at the buzzer late in the third quarter, giving him 14 points and allowing the Bobcats to close in at 72-86, 14 points behind.

From the interruption of the third quarter to the beginning of the fourth quarter, Zhou Lin's vitality should still be moved. Coach Bickerstaff, he put Gerald Wallace off the court, except for Brezek to replace him. With the exception of Gerald Wallace, he resumed his starting lineup at the start of the game.

Because Gerald Wallace was blown away by McGrady on both offense and defense in this game.

McGrady, who played less than 23 minutes, has quietly scored 20 points, shooting 10 of 7 from the field, and 4 of 2 three-pointers, while Gerald Wallace's score stayed at 8 points , 10 out of 2, and it was also a crazy night of blacksmithing.

As soon as the fourth quarter started, Yao Ming, who had had enough rest, began to overwhelm the inside again. When Blazek blocked Yao Ming, he also suffered two Chinese elbows. For this level of confrontation, and Yao Ming's current situation Under the background of backing 4 fouls, the referee will not blow the whistle easily at all, and Yao Ming can get whatever he wants in the paint.

Raymond Felton made two shots to stop the team from bleeding.

The game lasted until 8 minutes and 23 seconds into the fourth quarter. Zhou Lin finally got a chance in the bottom corner. Facing the open opportunity, Zhou Lin did not hesitate at all and hit the second three-pointer of the game.

"Zhou Lin's score has also reached 17 points, which is only 3 points away from his career high."

Zhou Lin, who was lost in the Spurs game and only scored 7 points, felt like a strong rebound in this game.

In the next round, Gerald Wallace appeared again. Zhou Lin thought he was the one who replaced him, but he didn't expect that it was Brandon Roy.

After resting on the bench, Gerald Wallace finally found some Elvis Presley feeling. After coming up, he received a pass and made a chasing three-pointer, and then made McGrady's defensive foul. .

The Bobcats once chased the score to only 9 points, but McGrady opened his eyes again, and a cold and elegant three-pointer made the Bobcats players feel what despair is.

But the Bobcats did not admit defeat, and the picture that Chinese fans were looking forward to finally appeared again. After several downballs, Zhou Lin finally faced Yao Ming again.

Zhou Lin knew exactly what he was going to do. Facing Yao Ming's defense, Zhou Lin didn't flinch at all. After crossing the ball and dribbling, he strode into it. After a confrontation with Yao Ming, the referee's whistle sounded again.

"My God, whose foul is it!"

"It can't be Yao Ming."

Yu Jia and Zhang Weiping were also dumbfounded.

"Yes, it was Yao Ming's defensive foul. If I remember correctly, this is Yao Ming's fifth foul. Now there are more than 5 minutes before the end of the game. If Zhou Lin can make two free throws, then there is With a 6-point difference, the Rockets may not be completely stable."

"Yao Ming, the big brother of the national team in front of Zhou Lin, is really not polite at all. The fourth and fifth fouls committed by Yao Ming were all made by Zhou Lin, and Yao Ming was also unambiguous. His foul on Zhou Lin Not gentle either."

"Interesting and interesting."

"Van Gundy is planning to let Yao Ming stay and continue to play, and directly seal the victory, or... well, Van Gundy should play it safe and let Yao Ming go down and rest for a few minutes before talking."

Zhou Lin didn't waste two free throws either, he made both free throws neatly.

5 minute and 21 seconds left.

99-87, the Bobcats are still 12 points behind.

With 12 of 7, Zhou Lin, who has 19 points, is only 2 points away from breaking his own scoring high.

In this game, Zhou Lin did a good job of showing off in front of the Chinese fans, and he did not disappoint the enthusiastic waiting of many fans.

"Zhou Lin, come by yourself!"

Zhou Lin is undoubtedly the player with the best offensive state today. Even Raymond yelled loudly after giving the ball to Zhou Lin, cleared one side, let Zhou Lin catch the ball on the weak side, and faced the opponent's single defense.

Zhou Lin tentatively dribbled two steps in. Zhou Lin was still a bit powerless in singles against Battier, but at this time, Gerald Wallace made an inside cut. Zhou Lin didn't hesitate, and directly Here it is, taking advantage of the trend, Gerald Wallace released his jumping space to his heart's content, and directly dunked one in front of Uncle Mu who likes to wag his fingers.

Dunk on the big hills in Africa, which is something that many players are eager to do.

The somewhat bloated Gerald Wallace even shook his finger at Uncle Mu.

Hmm, the referee didn't give face at all, and directly sent a technical foul.

Even for Jordan, O'Neal, and stars of this level, if you shake your finger in front of Uncle Mu, you will eat a T. How can you, Gerald Wallace, shake your finger.

The movement of shaking fingers can only be exclusive to Uncle Mu. If other players do it, it is a gesture of zero tolerance.

Mutombo did not waste this opportunity to send points, and made a free throw for a technical foul.

Moreover, Alston was very clever and gave the ball to Uncle Mu, but Uncle Mu's hook came out of the frame.

100-89.

The Bobcats have the possibility of further narrowing the score.

Zhou Lin who went to serve turned into an intercontinental missile. Seeing Gerald Wallace who had already run to the backcourt, he directed precise guidance. Gerald Wallace completed this time under the confrontation with McGrady. Basket, and cause additional penalty.

After making a free throw, his personal score also came to 13 points.

The Rockets were only 8 points away from being chased, and Van Gundy called a timeout directly.

There are 3 minutes and 46 seconds left in the game.

The difference of 8 points is very unsafe.

The timeout ended, and Yao Ming was forced to come back early.

As soon as Yao Ming came back, he turned inside and made a jump shot, again pulling the score to double digits.

Looking back, Raymond Felton's layup was blocked by Yao Ming again.

Raymond Felton also attacked Yao Ming according to Bernie Bickerstaff's arrangement, trying to get him to leave the field with six fouls, but Yao Ming firmly pressed him down.

In the chaotic battle, Alston hit a three-pointer to help the team stabilize the morale and enter the last 2 minutes.

Bernie Bickerstaff called a timeout.

105-92.

With a 13-point difference, there is still 1 minute and 52 seconds left in the game, and there is not enough time.

Of course, the players still want to go back and chase.

Gerald Wallace came up and threw a three-pointer first, but missed, but Okafor fought the frontcourt and scored.

On the Rockets side, Alston slowly controlled the ball across the half court. The ball played in his hand for about 15 seconds before it was given to McGrady on the side.

McGrady, who has already scored 23 points, facing Gerald Wallace's defense, made a few fake moves and turned around very handsomely, but failed to score. Gerald Wallace grabbed the rebound, Transported to the frontcourt, Raymond Felton stabilized for a while, and then gave it to Zhou Lin who followed up.

And when he was giving the ball, he subconsciously raised his butt to push Battier, and Zhou Lin got a first-line shooting opportunity.

And Shane Battier used a trick to cover his eyes.

However, Zhou Lin's arc was very good. After drawing a beautiful arc, the basketball fell straight to the basket.

Three point hit.

22 points broke Zhou Lin's personal scoring record in a single game, and the subtitles were immediately displayed on the TV screen.

Zhou Lin, career high, 22 points.

'Score to create a new career high achievement, get 10 challenge coins'

"Battier really sealed his eyes, but Zhou Lin really played crazy in this game."

Zhou Lin's goal was still being replayed on the TV screen, and Sean Battier's defensive style was still being played back.

105-97, the Rockets still held an 8-point lead. The Houstonians did not give the Bobcats a chance. In the next round, Yao Ming's hook completely killed the suspense of the game.
