This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 214 The Bobcats' March Madness (6)

"Zhou, already scored 16 points, and the great scorer Bryant only scored 17 points in the half."

Unlike the last game, there was no Kirilenko standing next to Zhou Lin, who is definitely one of the most restrained players in the league. Today, Zhou Lin felt completely liberated. Although Kobe's oppression is strong, after all, Kobe's height and relatively mediocre wingspan will not have a great impact on Zhou Lin's shooting. Therefore, once Kobe defends Zhou Lin, Kobe must try to use jumps and steals to attack Zhou Lin. To weaken Zhou Lin's offensive threat, whenever this kind of gamble-style defense appears, such as pressing and blocking, there will definitely be certain loopholes in the defense.

And Zhou Lin doesn't need to spend too much energy on the defensive end, and the opponents Luke Walton or Lamar Odom's performance in this game is not good enough.

As for Kobe, while he needs to defend the opponent's arrow figure, he also needs to be double-teamed by two or even three opponents at all times.

Kobe is definitely not the kind of player who can have a lot of patience and even try on his teammates. Once a player misses several shots in a row, then Kobe is absolutely unwilling to give you the ball again. He is more willing to believe that he can Solve battles with singles.

This also led to the Bobcats' increasingly compact defensive force, two-on-one, wheel-to-wheel battle, and constantly consuming Kobe.

If the opponent is not Kobe, he must have been unable to withstand this defensive posture and choose to pass the ball actively.

And Kobe is not only a paranoid, but also a physical monster, a physical monster that can compete with the Detroit Pistons' Hamilton who can run paralyzed trainers.

In addition to technology, Kobe also spent a lot of effort on physical training.

In the data column that Zhou Lin saw, Kobe's stamina was also top S+.

Kobe became the iron king in the league many years later. Many people who like to criticize Kobe for playing too alone, but this is also a better way for Kobe to win. As for the more than 1 missed shots, it can also prove that Kobe Just imagine, in a fierce confrontation environment, you have to take [-], [-], or even [-] shots per game. Even if you don’t need to guarantee the hit rate, it is beyond the reach of ordinary players.

At the end of the first half, Kobe took 17 shots, hit 7 goals and scored 20 points.

The Lakers trailed by 49 points 54-5.

As a comparison, Zhou Lin also scored 20 points, and his shooting percentage was higher, 11 of 7.

Kobe in the third quarter, after a brief intermission, once again glowed with high morale.

Zhou Lin could see Kobe's desire for victory in his eyes, just like the relationship between fish and water.

To be honest, an enemy like Kobe standing opposite him would make any player feel uneasy.

In the third quarter, Kobe, after going through the frenzied strikes in the second quarter, could already feel that his shooting touch didn't seem that good, so he began to sprint inside. Kill inside.

Collide with two, or even three big men, and sometimes throw the ball into the basket under confrontation.

And his fights, throwing himself in the air again and again, also kept winning the referee's whistle.

This is the arena of Staples, and Kobe is still the favorite of heaven. When Kobe went to the inside, the referee was still very face-saving and called fouls one after another.

The voice of MVP sounded again and again in the Staples Arena.

This game also made people see the shadow of Kobe Bryant a few seasons ago, leading a group of fringe players in the NBA, repeatedly fighting his way out in the fiercely competitive West, entering the playoffs, and then winning time and time again like a lone hero. A high score, but in the end it is a failure, leaving a soul-stirring back view.

In this game, even though Gasol was absent and Bynum was reimbursed for the season, he still had to defend the No. [-] throne in the Western Conference!
If he wasn't on the opponent's side, Zhou Lin couldn't help applauding Kobe.

Zhou Lin felt that Kobe was even above the god of basketball 'Michael Jordan' if he simply put together the attribute of willpower.

But what Zhou Lin has to do now is to be the villain of Staples.

While Kobe went inside again and again and won free throws again and again, the Charlotte Bobcats played a gorgeous teamwork here.

In the third quarter, Zhou Lin did not compete with Kobe Bryant for offensive firepower. Instead, he chose to become the existence that feeds the other members of the team. In the Bobcats lineup, he is already close to the spiritual leader of the locker room. Chris Webber, in the third quarter, was a bit of a flashback. Not only did he score 8 points and 4 rebounds in a single quarter, but he also sent 2 assists, becoming the biggest shining point.

In the third quarter, Kobe scored 11 of 5 and 12 of 10 from the free throw line, scoring 20 points in a single quarter. After three quarters, he scored 40 points.

But in contrast, the other teammates scored only 5 points in the third quarter.

Instead, the opponent continued to open the score.

81-74.

The Charlotte Bobcats entered the fourth quarter with a 7-point lead.

After all, Kobe was still an individual, and he did not step into the realm of God. In the fourth quarter, he took a short rest. The first to stand up was the left-handed magician Lamar Odom. His two breakthroughs and free throws gave the Los Angeles Lakers Got 5 points first.

The score was narrowed for a while, but at this time, the old Lakers player Smush Parker used his three-pointer, which he was not particularly good at, to help the current home team continue to maintain the score gap.

With Okafor's two consecutive layups under the basket, the Charlotte Bobcats opened the point difference to more than double digits.

And it is Kobe who stands out here. His two consecutive three-pointers are all pulled up against the defender. The requirements for core strength are extremely demanding. Alright.

At the same time, Lamar Odom once again sent a top ten alley-oop.

The Los Angeles Lakers got within two points with 2:23 left in the game.

98-97.

In the second half, Zhou Lin, who only took 4 shots and hit 1 goal, finally stood up at this critical moment, went to the inside twice in a row, fought with the opponent, scored once, and got a free throw opportunity once.

Facing the boos, he once again made 2 free throws to help the home team continue to hold a 3-point lead.

102-99.

There is not much time left, and Lamar Odom has already scored 9 points in this quarter, but with 57 seconds left before the end of the game, Odom missed a three-pointer from the open, which made Kobe eyebrows Wrinkled.

Double-teaming Kobe, there is bound to be someone in an open position.

And it was really helpless not to invest in it.

In 57 seconds, there are still at least three offensive rounds in theory, and once the Bobcats can score a goal and expand their lead to more than 5 points, then the game is likely to be stable.

But the reckless Lakers substitute Vujacic made a mindless foul when defending Brandon Roy, sending Brandon Roy to the free throw line.

Brandon Roy misses the second free throw!

103-99.

In 48 seconds, the Lakers were still 4 points behind.

Phil Jackson called a timeout.

He arranged a tactic to create space for Kobe to shoot, allowing Kobe to come up from the baseline to catch and shoot. Although Mike Dunleavy's physical fitness is average, he accurately judged where Kobe was going to shoot and blocked the shot. His fingers brushed against Kobe's basketball.

To the west of Zhou Lin heard Kobe swearing all over with profane words beginning with F, and then sternly moved towards Smush Parker who got the ball.

This is going to break the ball of Smash Parker, an old teammate.

Smush Parker dribbled twice, but Kobe quickly missed the ball with a backhand, and Kobe turned around and immediately ended the round with a dunk.

22 seconds left.

103-101, while the Lakers caught up to only two points away, Kobe's score broke through the 50-point mark again.

The cautious coach Capel chose to pause again, and he did not allow this kind of situation where the frontcourt was directly cut off to happen again.

Back on the court, the Bobcats chose to serve in the frontcourt, and Chris Webber came out to serve as a catch point, and then handed it to Zhou Lin.

Kobe tried to steal Zhou Lin, but was unsuccessful. Watching the time go by, Kobe could only choose foul tactics.

Under the boos all over the sky, Zhou Lin stabilized his mind again and made two free throws.

This game also made 7 consecutive free throws.

Zhou Lin also scored 29 points.

105-101.

But the ball returned to Kobe, and Kobe dribbled the ball from the frontcourt to the backcourt alone, scoring a super long three-pointer, which made the fans in the audience boil.

105-104.

The Los Angeles Lakers are temporarily behind by one point, with 7.5 seconds left in the game.

Kobe, who scored 53 points, is completely in a killing mode.

The ruthlessness of gnashing his teeth was also fully exposed.

Kobe seemed to be saying, I'm going to decide this game.

Boris Diaw stood on the sideline to serve, and Kobe locked Zhou Lin firmly. Zhou Lin received the ball with the help of two screens.

Zhou Lin was the most stable free throw in this game, so all the Bobcats players wanted to give the ball to Zhou Lin.

After Zhou Lin received the ball, Kobe stabbed it quickly with his hand, and the ball escaped Zhou Lin's control, but then Zhou Lin used a diving motion to protect the basketball and at the same time made a time-out gesture.

And Kobe's hand was firmly pressed on the basketball. After the referee said that the timeout was valid, he kept arguing with the referee that this was a scrimmage!
Kobe really wanted to win!

The Charlotte Bobcats used up the last timeout.

The ball was still delivered to Zhou Lin, and this time Zhou Lin was more cautious.

Bryant had no choice but to use another foul.

Amidst the boos all over the sky, Zhou Lin stood at the free throw line again.

It was still two hits as steady as an old dog.

107-104.

After Zhou Lin made two free throws again, his score rose to 31 points.

Kobe looked there and shook his head.

All 9 free throws are made. If two or three of them miss, the situation will be different now.

4.6 seconds.

Zen Master also used up the last timeout, and the whole world knew that Kobe was definitely going to shoot this possible tying ball.

And Kobe still found a gap in the siege and interception and got out!
With 3.7 seconds left before the end of the game, Kobe made another three-pointer.

Except for the Charlotte Bobcats, all the players on the scene and the Lakers are waiting for Kobe to use the fairy ball to bring the game into overtime.

It's a pity that the basketball hoop fell off after turning around.

The entire Charlotte Bobcats team broke out in a cold sweat!

Zhou Lin grabbed the rebound, but Kobe once again refused to admit defeat and used the foul on Zhou Lin.

As a result, Kobe graduated with six offenses!
And when he was leaving the field, he was still chattering and asking why Luke Walton didn't stand up to others, and why he didn't foul in the first place!

Most players may think that everything is over after seeing Kobe miss that ball, but unfortunately Kobe doesn't think so.

He still wanted to gamble, fighting until the last second of the game.

It's a pity that he didn't have the chance to continue fighting. He walked to the end of the field with heavy steps, and there was a burst of cheers from the audience.

The Lakers may have lost, but Kobe didn't.

In this campaign, Kobe made 37 of 14 shots and scored a game-high 53 points.

And Zhou Lin continued to increase points at the free throw line, making 11 consecutive free throws.

The personal score came to 33 points.

本场比赛17中9，取得33分的同时，还有7次助攻和8个篮板3次抢断。

Odom's frontcourt throw missed.

In the end, the Charlotte Bobcats won a record seventh game in a row at Staples, 109-105.

In the interview after the game, Kobe was also a little helpless.

"Those 11 consecutive free throws made the players of the Los Angeles Lakers really helpless." Kobe was still brooding over Zhou Lin's 11 of 11 free throws.

"I can't even imagine that he is a rookie who has only entered the professional basketball field for the second year. He will be one of the most cold-blooded killers in the NBA in the future!"

Kobe still gave a very positive comment.

In the away locker room.

Coach Capel personally opened the champagne and said: "This is a difficult but milestone victory. I am proud of you. We have crossed a mountain again. Yes, we will not be afraid now. Any opponent!"

The entire Charlotte Bobcats team is in an extremely excited mood.

The March Madness of the Bobcats is not completely over.

On March 3, they defeated the Seattle SuperSonics in an away game, winning eight consecutive victories!

On March 3, in the Rose Garden, the Charlotte Bobcats won another away game, nine consecutive victories!

It is a pity that on March 3, in the home game against the Toronto Raptors, after leading the start, there was a slight collapse in the third quarter.

In the end, they lost to the Toronto Raptors 101-104 by 3 points.

But the Charlotte Bobcats have also made history.

Nine consecutive victories to create the longest winning streak in team history!
In March, the single-month record was 3 wins and 14 losses, ranking first in the league!

The core player Zhou Lin averaged 25.3 points, 7.2 assists and 5.7 rebounds per game, becoming the Eastern Conference Player of the Month in March. This is also the first time that the Charlotte Bobcats have the Player of the Month!

The record also soared to 35 wins and 39 losses without knowing it.

The Philadelphia 37ers, who are seventh in the Eastern Conference and 37 wins and 76 losses, are only two games away!
