This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 184 Stepping up Wallace, the Raptors pulled back a round
"Except for the Toronto Raptors, the other teams in the upper half have swept the teams in the lower half. What do you want to say about this?"

A local Toronto show interviewed Raptors star player Chris Bosh.

"The game isn't over, is it? We're going to try to get it back to Charlotte again."

……

In the East, except for the Bobcats who have completed a 3-1 series lead, all other games are over. If the Bobcats can successfully win the game, then they will join James' Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference semifinals .

In the more intense West, no team has the ability to complete a sweep.

At present, the Warriors and the Mavericks, the Suns and the Lakers, the Spurs and the Nuggets have all scored 3-1, and what surprised all experts and commentators is that the league No. 1 is currently behind 3-[-] For the Golden State Warriors.

What Chinese people are most concerned about is that the Houston Rockets and Utah Jazz played the fifth game of Tianwangshan. With Yao Mai's outstanding performance, he won the game again. McGrady scored 26 points and 16 assists, while Yao Ming 21 points and 14 rebounds were recorded.

Toronto time, at 5:1 pm on May 7st, and at 5:2 am on May 8nd, BJ time, at the Air Canada Center Arena, the Toronto Raptors will fight to the death against the visiting Charlotte Bobcats.

"Win or go home!"

Sam Mitchell accepted the reporter's interview with a gloomy face and said: "We have not given up, and please the fans believe that we will go all out."

"Then will you still choose to stick to the strategy of the last game? Or will you make changes?"

"We have to have faith in young players, but I will change."

Sam Mitchell left this sentence and hurriedly ended the interview.

Zhou Lin could also feel the stagnant atmosphere of the Raptors' home court. Every Raptors player had a serious expression on his face.

Yes, everyone who is forced to the edge of a cliff will show the determination and desperation of the dying struggle.

Over the Air Canada Center arena, someone held up the slogan "We Still Believe". The Air Canada Center arena, with 2 spectators, all wore white short-sleeves with the Raptors LOGO on it, which read " Desperate Fight'.

"This is a difficult game!" Brandon Roy patted Zhou Lindao with a solemn expression.

"Come on, win this game!"

Zhou Lin took the lead and raised his hand high, everyone wants to win!

And as Sam Mitchell said, the Toronto Raptors did make a change by waiving Slovenian center Rashaw Nesterovic, who had averaged With 5.2 points and 4.6 rebounds, the performance was really bad, while Bargnani continued to stay in the starting lineup, and Maurice Peterson entered the starting lineup.

Similarly, with a tacit understanding, Bernie Bickerstaff also allowed Zhou Lin to enter the starting lineup again!
Game [-] of the series begins!
Chris Bosh, as the boss of the team, first helped the team compete for the first wave of possession.

Facing Zhou Lin again, Bargnani no longer had the previous evasive posture. Because of his softness, he has been scolded by many well-known football critics, and there are countless Toronto fans. He wants to prove that Although Zhou Lin had expected it, he did not expect Bargnani to raise the confrontation to the highest level at the beginning. Zhou Lin was accidentally turned by Bargnani, and Bargnani pulled back. He made a move to prevent Zhou Li from coming over in the first place. Facing the empty basket, he did not dodge the layup, but changed from a two-handed dunk to a higher one-handed dunk. Zhou Lin made up the defense, The referee also whistled, resulting in a 2+1.

After the slam dunk, Bargnani still roared to the sky. In this round of the series, he only averaged 10.7 points and 3.8 rebounds per game, and his shooting percentage dropped to 40% and 28%. Facing Zhou Lin, he was suffocated. Qu, most of the scores were scored when Zhou Lin was not on the court, and the reason why he is now being criticized by the local fans in Toronto is not because he is really bad, but because he can't stand the comparison with Zhou Linyi.

In four playoff games, Zhou Lin scored 20 points in two games and 30 points in one game. He averaged 20.2 points + 5.5 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game, and his shooting percentage was 57% + 41%. Overwhelmed the head of the Bobcats star Gerald. Wallace, is already a quasi-All-Star data.

When the two are put together, there is a sense of instant sight of comparing goods and throwing goods.

However, the positions of the two of them might have been reversed at the beginning.

There are even many brainless fans on the Internet complaining about the choice of the Toronto Raptors. Why not choose Zhou Lin and choose Bargnani.

An NCAA champion + MOP, the route taken by Anthony is still very similar, but now it seems that the development is not lost to Melon.

Under such circumstances, Bargnani already regarded Zhou Lin as his lifelong enemy in his heart.

And not only on the offensive end, but also on the defensive end. Bargnani also started to work hard. Standing in front of Zhou Lin, Bargnani looked like a mad dog. Lin made a shot, but it was mainly Zhou Lin who was holding the ball from the outside. Bargnani stuck it up and took the initiative to give Zhou Lin some physical confrontation. He also knew very well that in the Toronto game, the referee would still There are some tendencies.

Zhou Lin didn't fight to the death with Bargnani. At the beginning of the first quarter, he was completely assuming he was making a wedding dress for others.

It's a pity that today's teammates don't seem to be online. Brandon Roy, who was the most accurate in the last game, was interfered with by Morris Peterson for two consecutive shots. Sen's excellent performance, so in this game, he was put into the starting lineup when he was in danger, and the results proved to be good.

Raymond Felton, after experiencing a resurgence in shooting percentage in the previous game, missed both attempts in this game.

And Okafor naturally didn't take advantage of it. The game lasted 10 minutes and 12 seconds before the Bobcats broke the ice with Gerald Wallace, and he broke the ice with a three-pointer that he was not good at. .

The Toronto Raptors, who played 10-3 at the start, changed players again and directly replaced TJ Ford. After he made an unforced error, Sam Mitchell no longer trusted TJ Ford. Of course, it is more because TJ. Ford's speed is not suitable for the current main positional warfare.

And Calderon is undoubtedly a better choice.

Facts have proved that Sam Mitchell's approach is correct. Calderon, who was ordered in a critical situation, completely deprived TJ. Ford of playing time. In the first round, he used a scalpel-like pick-and-roll assist and directly dismembered the Bobcats. The defense once again helped Bargnani fly.

Immediately, facing the stronger Raymond Felton again, he scored with a step-back jumper.

On the other hand, on the Charlotte Bobcats side, Gerald Wallace and Zhou Lin, including Brandon Roy, have tried to break through to create trouble inside the opponent because they have not tried a few times from the outside. Crisis, it's a pity that the referee didn't blow the whistle for several fouls that could be blown or not.

In the first quarter, Bargnani did show his style as the No. 12 pick. He played 11 minutes, scored [-] points, and made four of four shots, including three-pointers and two shots.

After all, who doesn't eat dumplings during Chinese New Year?

At the end of the first quarter, Chris Bosh also took the initiative to bump his chest with Bargnani to celebrate.

The Raptors had great momentum at home, leading the Bobcats by 32 points 14-18 in a single quarter.

Zhou Lin scored 2 points, Brandon Roy scored 2 points, Gerald Wallace scored 3 points, Raymond Felton scored 3 points, Okafor scored 4 points, the team hit in a single quarter The rate is only 25%.

"Pass the ball more, be patient, don't need any hesitation when there is a chance, and increase the intensity of the defense. It is impossible for them to maintain this level of intensity in the four quarters."

Bernie Bickerstaff was not harsh on the performance of his disciples. After all, the Bobcats still had the sky and the ocean behind them, while the Raptors faced a cliff. It is also reasonable to have a deadly fight.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Zhou Lin played with Brezek, Matt Carroll, Jeff McGinnis, and Walter Herman.

Bargnani and Bosh, the best performers on the Raptors side, were all put off the court and replaced by Graham and Humphries.

When the defensive environment was relatively relaxed, Zhou Lin began to show off frequently. First, he assisted Matt Caro for a fast-break dunk, and then received a pass from McInnis. The scene of grabbing a second offensive rebound and making a dunk under the basket.

On the Raptors side, Calderon has changed from an auxiliary player to the strongest scorer inside, which is obviously not a good signal for the Raptors.

After Brezek scored two points at high altitude, the Bobcats played a wave of 5-31 offense in just 18 minutes and 6 seconds. On the team side, only Calderon was scoring, scoring all 6 points.

The score was chased to 32-38, and Sam Mitchell couldn't sit still again, and put Bargnani on the court again.

However, Zhou Lin took a rest at this moment. In this wave of attacks, Zhou Lin scored 5 points, 3 assists and 2 rebounds, and he did everything he could do.

Gerald Wallace and Brandon Roy, Okafor also returned one after another.

When Chris Bosh came up, the Raptors once again stabilized the score and gave the Bobcats a 12-3 spurt.

And at this moment, there was a scene that broke the hearts of Bobcats fans. Gerald Wallace stepped on Chris Bosh's foot while grabbing a rebound.

And in the back-to-defense screen, Chris Bosh seemed to have moved such a small half step on purpose, just letting his foot land on Gerald Wallace's.

This is a severe sprain.

All Bobcats members, including Zhou Lin and Bernie Bickerstaff, felt a chill in their hearts. Everyone knows what Gerald Wallace means to the Bobcats.

Tough defense, scoring at critical moments, and desperate Saburo-like momentum.

Gerald Wallace, who fell on the floor, buried his head deeply on the floor and couldn't stand up. He knew that his injury this time would not be too minor, so he slapped the floor, very unwilling.

And when he left, Gerald Wallace's eyes were also red.

"Gerald Wallace's injury may be a variable in this round of the series, and this year is also the Bobcats, and it is also the best year of Gerald Wallace's career. The team has entered the playoffs There is hope for the second round, but now that he is injured, it may cause a series of changes."

In the CCTV live broadcast room, Yu Jia said with a little worry: "I hope the injury will stay away from the players."

Zhou Lin had to play again.

"We want to win this game for Gerrard."

In the second quarter of the game, the Bobcats were driven by turning grief into motivation. In the last single quarter, they won by 28 points 23-[-], and gradually narrowed the point difference.

At halftime, the Bobcats were 42 points behind 55-13.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Calderon completely replaced TJ. Ford's playing time. His organization and fixed-point shooting are more suitable for the current Raptors than TJ. Ford.

He and Maurice Peterson each scored 7 points in the third quarter to help the team stabilize their position.

As for the Bobcats, after losing Gerald Wallace, Zhou Lin began to focus more on offensive scoring, scored 9 points in a single quarter, and sent 2 assists, Raymond Felton, and Bran Den Roy has also contributed repeatedly.

The Charlotte Bobcats entered the fourth quarter 66-74.

In the fourth quarter of the game, the Charlotte Bobcats' offense continued unabated, and they once overtook the score at the end of the game. Unfortunately, Calderon hit two consecutive mid-range shots at the end of the game, helping the ball The team locked up the victory.

The final score was fixed at 95-98, and the Bobcats only lost by 3 points.

If Gerald Wallace hadn't been damaged, this game might have been reversed.

周林再次得到了山猫队最高的23分还有9助攻6篮板的数据，布兰登.罗伊也有18分5助攻入账，奥卡福则是再度砍下14+14的两双，雷德蒙.菲尔顿12分2抢断。

For the Toronto Raptors, Sam Mitchell's twist did work.

Although team leader Chris Bosh scored 11 points on 3-of-11 scoring, Bargnani, Maurice Peterson, and Anthony Parker all broke out, and the most important thing was Calder, who took TJ Ford's playing time Long, he scored a team-high 25 points and 8 assists in this campaign.

"Yes, Jose is a good general, a high-level passer and shooter."

At the press conference after the game, Sam Mitchell also praised Calderon.

"Yeah, we don't want Wallace to get hurt. I'm here to pray for him. I know Chriss doesn't do things that hurt the opponent on purpose, but injuries are part of the game. Losing Gerald Wallace Rice's Bobcats don't have that defensive gate, next game we're going to Charlotte, trust me, I'm going to bring the game back to Toronto."

Sam Mitchell also answered about the Chris Bosh step.
