This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 176 Bloodthirsty three-pointer, breaking the net with one arrow (for subscription)
"We need to play more decisively and focus. New Jersey has Vince Carter, one of the best scorers in the league, and Jason Kidd, one of the best passers in the league, so we have to What to do is, use higher defensive pressure, let Vince Carter only handle the ball to pass, let Jason Kidd shoot, guys, we are far away from tasting the team's first trip to the playoffs, It's only a few games away, give it your all."

Vince Carter scored 21 points in the first half, while Kidd had 8 assists although he didn't score.

Bernie Bickerstaff is not too harsh on the team's offense, but on the defensive end, he absolutely does not allow Vince Carter to score easily, and makes Kidd frequently send second passes. The Bobcats need to The strength of the defensive end should be improved, and the two core players of the Nets cannot be allowed to play their own characteristics at will.

Moreover, Bernie Bickerstaff also abandoned Raymond Felton. He may not have performed particularly well due to injuries, and his replacement, Jeff McGinnis, A veteran of the 1996 Golden Generation and an alumnus of Redmond Felton and Vince Carter.

As a point guard, he is two inches taller than Raymond Felton, and another advantage is that he played for the New Jersey Nets briefly last season and is quite familiar with the Nets' tactics.

There is also Matt Carroll, a guard who performed better than Brandon Roy, also replaced Brandon Roy.

Compared with the rookies in the first and second grades, Bickerstaff is now more willing to choose to believe in McGinnis and Carroll, who have been in the league for many years.

The change of the Charlotte Bobcats changed the lineup of the backcourt and immediately increased the defensive strength, which soon paid off. McGinnis and Gerald Wallace quickly built a defensive wall, Vince Carter not only has to face Gerald Wallace's single defense, but also has McGinnis supplementary defense at any time.

Carter's touch was so good today that even Gerald Wallace had a hard time defending him alone, so Bickerstaff directly asked the players to adopt a two-man pincer strategy.

Force other Nets players to participate in the offense.

In fact, Jason Kidd and Richard Jefferson, other than the three Musketeers of the Nets, did not feel good offensively today.

Vince. Carter's two passes to Jason. Kidd, and Kidd failed both attempts from the outside.

It is also easy for the Bobcats to receive such signals. For Jason Kidd, a player who passes the ball first, defends second, and ranks last in offense, giving him some open shot options will actually make Kidd De is very uncomfortable, and McGinnis is also wandering between Vince Carter and Jason Kidd at any time. His familiarity with the two players cannot be replaced by other Bobcats players.

On the offensive end, Bickerstaff has been creating offensive space for Zhou Lin, leaving Zhou Lin on the weak side most of the time.

Well, singles whenever you get the chance.

On the Nets side, no one can easily defend Zhou Lin alone, especially when Zhou Lin plays the [-]th position, Mickey Moore and Josh Boone seem a bit cumbersome to Zhou Lin.

Coach Frank of the Nets knew this clearly, so he directly chose Richard Jefferson to defend Zhou Lin in the second half.

Although Richard Jefferson is two inches shorter than Zhou Lin, his speed, wingspan, and jumping are not bad.

But Bickerstaff also had premeditated.

If you have a good plan, I have a wall ladder.

Zhou Lin is a player who is good at using pick-and-rolls. After McGinnis came on the court, in addition to analyzing Kidd on the defensive end, he was also serving as a spot-up shooter and transition ball in the half court.

Therefore, Zhou Lin basically became the dominator of the ball.

Zhou Lin tried many times to pick and roll with Brezek, which also put the Nets in a dilemma.

Richard Jefferson is indeed not a big problem in defending Zhou Lin alone, but after the pick and roll, as long as he switches defenses, it is an opportunity.

Whether it's Zhou Lin going to military training with Jason Collins or Mickey Moore, or giving Brezek a high-profile matchup with Jefferson.

The dislocation of nearly 20 centimeters made it impossible for Jefferson to defend at all.

Zhou Lin is very good at playing this kind of high and low positions. Zhou Lin's height and eyesight allow him to ensure that he can pass the ball comfortably.

The strategy given by Frank was to use the player in the fourth position to delay. However, Gerald Wallace's several cuts received Zhou Lin's pass, Zhou Lin's speed and insight, Faster than Frank imagined.

In the second half, the Charlotte Bobcats used their high-pressure defense against Vince Carter to put the Nets in a situation where no one could score. On the offensive end, Zhou Lin began to show his all-around side.

After a 9-2 spurt, the Charlotte Bobcats led the New Jersey Nets 57-53, and Nets coach Frank called a timeout again.

After returning from the timeout, Richard Jefferson began to show his talent on the offensive end.

As one of the three Musketeers of the Nets, he can only rank third in terms of strength, fame, or salary.

Due to injuries this season, Richard Jefferson missed nearly 30 games, and his personal data dropped from 19.5 points last season to 16.3 points.

But even so, he still belongs to the star level.

He still has a lot of fuel in his tank.

Since his comeback on March 3, his statistics have also continued to improve. With an average of about 9 points per game, he is also the best scorer around Carter.

And after Bickerstaff began to write about Carter, Richard Jefferson's needs were much simpler.

The Nets' offensive center of gravity also began to shift to Richard Jefferson.

After the timeout ended, Richard Jefferson immediately played a role on the offensive end. He broke through from the right and directly tried to shoot through Zhou Lin.

After all, Richard Jefferson is also a slam dunk contest-level physical fitness, and his explosive power is still very strong. Although he has returned from injury, he is still in the golden period of his career after all.

Zhou Lin once again used the pick-and-roll to send out assists.

But within a few rounds, Zhou Lin repeated the previous mistakes again.

Richard Jefferson's shot caused Zhou Lin's fourth foul.

This is undoubtedly a good situation for the Bobcats, and it has some impact. To be on the safe side, Zhou Lin was quickly replaced by Bickerstaff.

After Zhou Lin left the field, Okafor and Brandon Roy appeared.

And Richard Jefferson, who had recovered his touch, did not stop attacking the basket.

The disadvantages of double-teaming Carter also began to show up slowly.

What's more uncomfortable is that when the team is a little slack, Carter can hit the goal.

As for the Bobcats, only Okafor can do something. Of course, the performance of Josh Boone is just a flash in the pan. Fu taught me a lesson.

In the third quarter, the two sides played very lively, 31-30, and the Nets won by 1 point in a single game.

With a score of 87-84, the two teams entered the fourth quarter.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Jason Kidd used his ability to thread the needle to help fly Josh Boone.

Josh Boone, who only scored 4.2 points in the season, has scored 14 points and 5 rebounds tonight, including two offensive rebounds, but from the data point of view, he suppressed the team with only 9 points and 4 rebounds. Okafor.

Indeed, with the help of a Hall of Fame point guard like Kidd, as long as there is time, many inside players can still put up numbers.

On the Nets side, they gradually gained momentum.

Zhou Lin played in the early part of the fourth quarter. What was very troublesome was that Zhou Lin became the focus of the court, with four fouls on his back.

Now, Zhou Lin, who scored 12 points and 5 assists, is irreplaceable for the Bobcats' offense in this game.

In the few minutes without Jefferson, Zhou Lin faced Josh Boone's defense and scored another 4 points.

Help the team continue to score steadily, but soon Richard Jefferson came over, and Zhou Lin also saw Frank pointing at him, Zhou Lin knew very well that if he was the coach of the opponent, he would He will definitely catch his own foul problem.

Zhou Lin was still a bit weak on the defensive end. Jefferson made two shots when he came up. However, facing Zhou Lin's cautious defense, Jefferson still failed to grasp the opportunity. Two shots with little interference, all All fail.

On the Charlotte Bobcats side, there were also several missed shots. Compared with the situation in the third quarter, whoever throws and who scores, the game feels bad in this quarter.

Time is also consumed bit by bit.

The scene that worried Bickerstaff happened when there were 5 minutes and 23 seconds left in the time. Gerald Wallace, who was fighting with injuries, fell heavily to the ground after a breakthrough layup. Can get up.

He clutched his knees, looking uncomfortable.

His knee is injured!
Seeing Gerald Wallace limping off the field with someone's support, everyone in the Bobcats team felt depressed.

Gerald Wallace, as the team's top scorer plus a sharp defensive knife, is self-evident for the team.

His injury will affect the next deployment of the Charlotte Bobcats and their competitiveness for the playoffs.

But the game has to go on.

Brandon Roy was replaced. In this game, only 4 of 1 Brandon Roy scored 4 points in three quarters. Intermittent minor injuries still affected Brandon Roy's performance. His scoring average also dropped from a monthly high of 18.3 points per game to a season average of 12.3 points per game.

"Listen, guys, it's not easy for us to get to where we are now. Gerrard's injury is still uncertain, so we need to do Gerrard's things together and win this game."

Zhou Lin said loudly that Gerald Wallace was required to do the cheering up. Now he has left the field. Compared with Felton who is not good and Brandon Roy who is introverted , Zhou Lin is still more suitable for such a role.

"Keep our advantage and overthrow them!"

Raymond Felton also made his debut again, and said seriously.

The lineup of the Bobcats changed again, and the decisive lineup became Redmond Felton + Brandon Roy + Zhou Lin + Walter Herman + Emeka Okafor.

五个人的NBA年限分别是2+1+1+1+3，职业生涯总和8年，而贾森.基德一个人的NBA年限已经达到了15年！
It is indeed reckless for Bickerstaff to form such a lineup.

However, after the team boss was injured and left the field, Zhou Lin still assumed the heavy responsibility of the team's control of the ball. Of course, the departure of the team's first scoring point also made Zhou Lin even more taken care of by the Nets.

Jason Kidd's double-teaming also made Zhou Lin almost lose the ball.

Fortunately, Brandon Roy made consecutive breakthroughs after 4-for-1, knowing that he and Carter once formed a confrontational trend.

But the team failed to hold back the outbursts of Carter and Jefferson.

With 1 minute and 31 seconds left in the game, Zhou Lin was called for a foul when he was fighting for a rebound with Carter. This was a somewhat controversial penalty. Unfortunately, Carter still won more respect from the referees. Bar.

Because of the five fouls in a single quarter, Carter went to the free throw line and scored the 40th and 41st points.

The Nets finally overtook the score 103-102.

Moreover, this was Zhou Lin's fifth foul, and at this moment of decisive battle, Zhou Lin would definitely stay on the field.

In the next offensive round of the Bobcats, Brandon Roy failed to hit a three-pointer from the outside, and Kidd, who had a long rebound, passed it to Carter immediately, and Carter faced the almost unguarded basket, It directly completed a powerful tomahawk snap.

105-102, the Nets hold a 3-point advantage.

Bickerstaff called a timeout, and the next round of offense was going to Okafor inside.

But the Nets judged that the Bobcats wanted to score two points first. Okafor didn't have a good shot, and the ball went round and round to Raymond Felton. It's true that Dunton's hand feeling is not good, but the time is running out, so he can only vote.

At the moment of the shot, Zhou Lin knew it was short. Kidd scored the tenth rebound of the game and passed it to Jefferson, who was about to go down, but Jefferson turned his head, but It happened to collide with Zhou Lin.

"Block foul!"

At the first time, the sideline referee thought it was a defensive foul, but Bickerstaff immediately applied to the technical desk for a replay. This kind of critical round penalty can be watched in case of dispute.

And this playback took about 3 minutes to confirm.

The referee's final decision made the fans cheer.

Yes, it was changed to an offensive foul!
Zhou Lin also breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that once he was sentenced to a foul, he would leave the field with a full foul.

With 38 seconds left in the game, the Bobcats regained possession of the ball again. This time the ball was transferred to Brandon Roy after being organized.

Brandon Roy made an emergency stop jumper and scored a key score from mid-range!
105-104.

There are 17 seconds left in the game.

The Nets used the last timeout to arrange tactics. Of course, the Nets will try to delay the time as much as possible.

And they also brought up some of the most accurate free throws.

The Bobcats' time allows them to try to steal once first, and if they fail, they will directly foul and send the opponent to the free throw line.

Although the Nets chose to serve in the frontcourt, they sent the ball to the backcourt.

It took a few seconds for Kidd to dodge before being caught up by Bobcats players.

After Raymond Felton failed to steal Jason Kidd, he directly chose to send Kidd to the free throw line.

There are just 5.6 seconds left in the time.

Jason Kidd made 78% of his free throws this season, which is considered a mid-level for guards.

The two sides immediately sent towers up to protect the rebounds.

As long as Kidd makes two free throws, the Nets can guarantee not to lose in regular time, and at the same time, the Bobcats can only fight for three-pointers.

On the first ball, Jason Kidd made a steady free throw.

But the second ball... was gone.

"short!"

Kidd himself knew that the free throw was short, and the rebounds inside were in a mess.

In the end, relying on Brezek's commanding height, he dialed the ball out, Brandon Roy scrambled for the floor ball, and finally called a timeout.

2.7 seconds.

There's plenty of attack time for a ball, probably enough time for two dribbles, plus one pass and one shot.

"It's still too late to foul!"

Su Qun from CCTV-5 said with some emotion: "The Bobcats didn't foul at the first time, and there was no timeout in 2.7 seconds, there was only a desperate chance, and there was no chance of fouling again. Of course, This is also Kidd's experience, the young man of the Bobcats, he is still too young."

When Kidd played in the NBA, many players on the Charlotte Bobcats still called them children.

From the perspective of experience, there is no comparison with the Nets.

"Zhou Lin, you go to serve, Brandon, you are here, use the cover of Primoz, go to the bottom line, Herter, you and Raymond go to meet together, if Brandon is surrounded , you need to judge immediately, you can pass to Primoz inside, or you can choose to shoot directly, and Zhou Lin who enters from the sideline."

"It doesn't matter if it's two points or three points."

Zhou Lin stood at the serve point near the center line, and Jefferson was interfering with Zhou Lin's serve. It was about 5 seconds before Raymond Felton squeezed away from Kidd and received the ball from Zhou Lin. At the first moment, Brandon Roy and Okafor made a cross, Herter raised it up, and Zhou Lin rushed inside.

Kidd stood firmly in front of Felton.

"here!"

Zhou Lin and Herter formed a local small single block, and they had an opportunity.

Felton gave the ball directly to Zhou Lin, and Zhou Lin shot without hesitation.

Immediately, the blocks of Moore and Jefferson were all on Zhou Lin's face.

The shot light is on!

What the people present saw was a decisive arc shot from Zhou Lin's hand.

Like a meteor falling to the ground, it fell straight into the basket.

"Zhou Lin, Zhou Lin completed the lore!"

The commentator on CCTV could no longer suppress his emotions, and shouted loudly: "Zhou Lin helped the Charlotte Bobcats defend the victory at home!"

"A player with a big heart is indeed worthy of being the child of miracles!"

In the TNT live broadcast room, A Smith shouted loudly: "This is the best lore I have ever seen!"

The Nets still wanted to try to communicate with the referee, thinking that the ball had timed out. Unfortunately, the referee confirmed that the ball was valid after replaying it.

106-105.

Bobcats hold on to victory after losing Gerald Wallace!

Jason Kidd covered his face, his eyes were full of annoyance, why didn't he make the free throw just now?
If a penalty is scored, there will only be overtime at most!
Okafor gave Zhou Lin a push, and Zhou Lin crazily jumped onto the technical stage, and shouted in front of more than 8000 spectators: "This is our home stadium, Charlotte Bobcats, keep going!"

And this scene has also become one of the cover pictures of the NBA official website this week.

In this campaign, Zhou Lin scored 22 points, 9 assists and 7 rebounds, and hit the most critical lore.

Let Vince Carter's 41 points be an empty cut!
The victory of a game directly brought the Bobcats to the seventh place in the Eastern Conference.
