This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 206 The first triple-double!
On January 2007, 1, the Quicken Loans Center Arena, this is the first time the Charlotte Bobcats have visited this season.

As opponents in the Eastern Conference semifinals last year, the Charlotte Bobcats and the Cleveland Cavaliers had fought three games here.

Last year, Varejao made a layup lore, which made the Charlotte Bobcats lose to Tianwangshan, which changed the trend of the game. The Charlotte Bobcats finally lost the series with a total score of 2-4.

This year's Charlotte Bobcats currently only have a 13-21 loss, ranking 13th in the East, and the Cleveland Cavaliers also encountered various difficulties during this period. Any substantial reinforcement.

Failure to reinforce is tantamount to regressing.

Because there are two more opponents in the East.

Gathering the Celtics of the Big Three changed the world.

With Sharad Lewis, the Orlando Magic successfully upgraded.

The current record of James' team is only 18 wins and 18 losses, ranking sixth in the Eastern Conference.

And James himself began to complain about the mediocrity of the team's management.

The Cleveland Cavaliers, like many teams in small markets, are inherently unattractive to big-name stars, whether it is the number of fans, the size of the city, or the background of the team.

Although this team has just experienced a successful season, the fourth-year LeBron James stepped over the Detroit Corps and led the team to the Finals, becoming a league superstar, although the 0-4 ruthless Spurs gave Stepping under the horse, but as Daidai said, 'the future is yours'.

Although this sentence was ruthlessly overturned once by Duncan later, the facts still prove that the facade of the NBA has changed, and LeBron James is destined to take the throne.

Of course, if it weren't for James, how many people would pay attention to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

And the two teams that met in the playoffs last year, what kind of sparks will they collide with?

Gerald Wallace, who caused a lot of trouble for LeBron James last year, has left Phoenix. He has been replaced by 'Hacker' Marion, who is also one of the best defensive strikers in the league.

After winning the Celtics, the Charlotte Bobcats ushered in a small peak and valley in morale.

And the atmosphere in the team, because of the short two-game winning streak, has eased up and united a little.

The Charlotte Bobcats have made minor adjustments to the lineup.

Raymond. Felton and Matt. Carroll partner back line, Zhou Lin, Sean. Marion, Emeka. Okafor.

The Cavaliers' lineup is still the same as last year's playoffs.

Larry Hughes, LeBron James, Sasha Pavlovic, Drew Gooden, Zdrunas Ilgauskas.

The first wave of the game was won by the Cleveland Cavaliers. LeBron James, as the actual organizer of the positional battle, faced Sean Marion's defense. He did not attack by himself at the beginning, but first Pass to outside partner Larry Hughes.

Larry Hughes, similar to the enhanced version of JR. Smith, Larry Hughes hit a three-pointer from the outside as soon as he came up, which is a very good signal for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

And in this game, because the opponent does not have a good point guard and there is a big center Z, the Charlotte Bobcats will take the initiative to bring the rhythm faster. Zhou Lin also recognizes this, and Lei Mond Felton, facing the defense of Larry Hughes, was still able to rely on his speed to rush up, and seemed to have some feeling of running and bombing before. Drew Gooden couldn't catch up, and Sean Ma Lyon made an easy layup.

The Charlotte Bobcats tried their best to let Zhou Lin face up to Drew Gooden. The two faced each other several times during their rookie season, and every time Drew Gooden was abused by Zhou Lin, so in the playoffs Basically, LeBron James defended Zhou Lin alone, and this game is the same, but James defended Zhou Lin, and Sean Marion ran, and Drew Gooden also defended no.

Both sides have figured out each other's weak link, Sean Marion or Zhou Lin want to attack the Cavaliers' fourth position.

And Larry Hughes played Raymond Felton relatively easily. After all, he is 11 centimeters taller than Raymond Felton, and his touch in the first quarter is really pretty good. .

In today's first quarter, Zhou Lin was more of a pick-up point and a shooting point.

At 8 minutes and 23 seconds into the first quarter, Zhou Lin scored his first three-point goal of the field from the outside.

This is Zhou Lin's only score in the first quarter.

Sean Marion only scored 9 points in the last game, but in today's game, he started a strong rebound. Although his shooting posture was weird, he scored three consecutive points on the three-point line, hitting Drew Gooden's point He didn't even have a temper. Even though Varejao was sent to deal with Sean Marion at the end of the first quarter, it was still a matter of change.

靠着肖恩.马里昂第一节10中6的得到17分的表现，夏洛特山猫队以37-35的取得了两分的领先。

Yes, the fight was so lively, and it was only a two-point lead.

Because the weak link of the Charlotte Bobcats is also exposed, Larry Hughes, who has a good shooting touch today, scored 12 points, and Big Z also bullied the Bobcats because the height is not enough, and the inside line frequently grabs offensive rebounds, One after another, the small hooks were hit, and 10 points were also recorded.

Although James, the core of the team, only scored 4 points, he had 6 assists in hand.

The same is true for Zhou Lin. Although he didn't score much, only 3 points, he also had 4 assists.

For the Charlotte Bobcats, Zhou Linduo stayed for a while, and played with Brandon Roy as the main force and the substitute, and still had a certain advantage. The two played a wave of 10-5 with the substitute. The point difference widened to 7 points.

But then, LeBron James gradually returned with the starting lineup, and Big Z was replaced by Varejao, who performed well in this quarter, because he made Sean Ma Lyon's inside defensive foul created an offensive foul by Sean Marion on the defensive end. At the beginning of the second quarter, Sean Marion committed 3 fouls and could only rest temporarily.

Zhou Lin rested for 4 minutes before continuing to play. As the best player on the Charlotte Bobcats team, Zhou Lin was treated as a "superstar" as soon as he came up. James and Larry Hughes flanked him. Zhou Lin, and caused Zhou Lin's mistake.

With Zhou Lin encountering James' single defense, or even a double-team strategy, Zhou Lin's shooting is bound to be unstable, but the passing ball and the shooting rate of his teammates are not high. Muhammad, who came off the bench, faced Germany. Rue Gooden didn't do much either. He missed two opportunities at the basket. Matt Carroll, who signed a contract with the team during the offseason, only had a dismal 4-for-1 shooting percentage.

Plus Zhou Lin's own 3 for 1.

The Cavaliers played a wave of 17-7 mercilessly.

At halftime, the Charlotte Bobcats trailed the Cleveland Cavaliers by 54 points 57-3.

Zhou Lin was 6 of 2 in the first half, scored 5 points and 6 assists. It was a bit sluggish, but it also had something to do with the defensive attitude of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Before that round of the series last year, Zhou Lin was just regarded as an ordinary player. After that round of the series, both James and the Cleveland Cavaliers have witnessed the horror of this young player, and James even described Zhou Lin as an existence that is about to enter the ranks of first-class players.

The Cavaliers have a lot of defensive methods specifically for Zhou Lin, and now Zhou Lin needs to complete his offense under this heavy pressure.

In the third quarter, the Charlotte Bobcats still adopted the style of play, defending instead of attacking, protecting rebounds, and making more transitions.

Because of Marion, as long as there is no foul trouble, it will be difficult for the Cleveland Cavaliers to solve the problem.

As soon as the third quarter came up, he caused a lot of trouble for Ilkeskas on the defensive end. After experiencing the rhythm of being almost blown up in the first half, Okafor's defense was more aggressive in this quarter. Strange, Big Z's small hook was still interfered by Okafor's long arm, Zhou Lin grabbed the rebound, and immediately launched a fast break, Sean Marion, Brandon Roy and Raymond Felton made a fast break on the third line, and Brandon Roy made a dunk.

The Cavaliers have a problem with their hand feeling. James, who scored 11 points in the second quarter, missed the first two shots in this quarter, and Sean Marion's defense against James is also more defensive. Unpredictable shooting attitude.

Even, during a layup, Sean Marion gave LeBron James a big hat.

Sean Marion's wingspan and bullet speed are the nightmare of many players who like to break through.

On Zhou Lin's side, facing James' defense, he chose to do a pick-and-roll. After entering the interior, although he missed a throw, he grabbed 3 offensive rebounds in a row.

And this scene also caused Mike Brown to be very dissatisfied, and directly called a timeout.

The Bobcats grabbed twice as many rebounds as their opponents in the third quarter, and those rebounds led to six more shots.

Although the inside height of the Charlotte Bobcats is not high, they are all players with strong running and jumping ability. Coupled with active and hard fighting, the Charlotte Bobcats made substantial progress in the third quarter. Sexual leadership.

夏洛特山猫队有22投9中得到了26分的表现，而克利夫兰骑士队只有16投篮5中的只得到了12分的表现。

At the end of the third quarter, 80-69, entered the fourth quarter with an 11-point advantage.

"Steady your mind and accept the victory of this game!"

Capel emphasized that the main theme of the fourth quarter is still defense. Even if the scoring efficiency is reduced, he can still grind to the end with an 11-point lead and win.

"One rebound and two assists short, you can get the first triple-double of the Charlotte Bobcats this season, and your first triple-double personally."

Another assistant coach, Phil Ford, reminded Zhou Lin.

Only then did Zhou Lin realize that he was very close to a triple-double.

Zhou Lin grabbed a total of 5 rebounds in the third quarter, and also brought his own rebounds to 9, plus 8 assists and 11 points.

Last season, Zhou Lin was very close to a triple-double in many games, but almost every time he ended up missing one or two assists or one or two rebounds.

"Thanks for reminding!"

Zhou Lin nodded.

In the fourth quarter, the Cleveland Cavaliers also changed their strategy, abandoning the starting small forward Sasha Pavlovich and the inside center Zdrunas Ilgauskas, Daniel Gibson and Anderson. Varejao became the inside and outside partner in the fourth quarter.

As the leader, James finally found his hand again in the fourth quarter. In the first round, he faced Sean Marion's defense and scored a 2+1 layup.

Keep the points difference within 10 points.

Then he stole the pass from Matt Carroll and made a fast-break dunk. He scored 5 points first.

80-74.

Then, Sean Marion made a layup and raised his personal score to 30 points.

However, after that, Sean Marion made three consecutive outside shots and missed all of them. James grabbed rebounds consecutively and launched a counterattack.

The Cavaliers also took the opportunity to play a small climax, a 10-4 small climax.

The advantage of 11 points was exhausted in 5 and a half minutes before the end of the game.

84-84.

Capel called a timeout and arranged high and low tactics.

And Zhou Lin finally used Mohamed's high-quality screen to run out of the air cut and scored 2 points with a dunk.

Helped the team to temporarily open the vicious circle of being unable to score.

But immediately, Varejao quickly made Sean Marion's fifth foul at the basket, but at this time, there was no need to replace Marion for protection.

Varejao's 2 free throws again equalized the score.

Brandon Roy's shot missed, Zhou Lin and James got entangled for the rebound, but Zhou Lin still relied on his judgment to grab this precious offensive rebound.

In this campaign, Zhou Lin grabbed 10 rebounds, 4 of which were offensive rebounds.

Of course, James' rebounds are even more terrifying, with 16 rebounds, including 3 offensive rebounds.

After Zhou Lin got the ball, he hit the ball to Brandon Roy who was cutting in. Brandon Roy not only put the ball into the basket, but also made Varejao's foul.

Hit again at the free throw line.

89-86.

However, immediately, Daniel Gibson's three-pointer equalized the score again!
89-89.

Then, James missed the basket twice, and Zhou Lin finally made a three-pointer from the outside.

92-89.

Then the Cavaliers and Bobcats fell into a 2-minute scoring drought.

With 1 minute and 05 seconds left before the end of the game.

And Drew Gooden used his body to forcibly chisel Zhou Lin.

92-91.

after a pause.

The Bobcats pressed the tempo, and Zhou Lin responded from the high position, breaking through and giving the ball to Emeka Okafor. Unfortunately, the ball missed, and Zhou Lin once again scored the fifth offensive rebound of the game ball.

Zhou Lin pressed the time, and it started when there were still 5 seconds before the round time. Sean Marion came up to pick and roll, Zhou Lin's breakthrough was given to Marion who cut inside, and Marion faced Varejao's Defensively, use high-arc flips to score.

94-91.

While Zhou Lin got his 10th assist and achieved a triple-double in the NBA, he also allowed the Bobcats to take the initiative of the game on his side.

25 seconds left.

For the Cleveland Cavaliers, LeBron James chose to grab a three-pointer, but he failed to make a hit. However, Drew Gooden swung the ball to the outside line. Daniel Gibson was not relentless, and he raised the knife and dropped the ball into the basket.

And he, who made this perfect ball, was hugged high by James.

Having experienced the baptism of last year's playoffs and the Detroit Pistons series, Daniel Gibson has also grown a lot.

94-94!

In the 7-second attack time, Zhou Lin pressed the ball to the end. At the last moment, he chose Brandon Roy who went to the side. Unfortunately, Brandon Roy failed to hit the buzzer. The two sides entered overtime.
