This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 219 Rasheed Wallace No Longer Being Deceived

In other games, as the teams in the top half of the Eastern Conference playoffs, the Boston Celtics, Orlando Magic, and Cleveland Cavaliers made no mistakes, defending the home court and giving the visitors a defeat.

The Charlotte Bobcats defeated the Detroit Pistons, which had the second-best regular season record in the league, and it was also the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs and even the only upset in the entire league.

West side.

The Los Angeles Lakers, the number one in the Western Conference, defended their home court. This is a complete offensive battle.

Iverson and Anthony each scored 30 points, but for the Lakers, Kobe Bryant scored 32 points, and the biggest contributor was Paul Gasol, who scored a large double-double with 36 points and 16 rebounds , and left-handed magician Lamar Odom also had 17 points, 14 rebounds and 8 assists. The horror of the triangle offense began to be revealed.

The San Antonio Spurs also defended the home court without any surprises. Facing the lack of Yao Ming, the Houston Rockets won by a big score of 102-84. Although McGrady scored 37 points, he still failed to recover from the defeat.

In another set of duels that were changed.

The Suns, who sit at home in Phoenix, also defeated the visiting Utah Jazz 125-117. O'Neal once again scored 21+12, making people vaguely remember the big shark that made the league tremble. O'Neal's physical condition is much better than when he was with the Heat.

Many experts are also predicting the outcome of the game, if the Los Angeles Lakers can win the series against the Denver Nuggets, and the Suns can also pass the Utah Jazz.

Then in the next round, Shaquille O'Neal will have the opportunity to return to the once glorious Staples and play as an opponent in the second round of the playoffs.

This pair of extremely controversial duels is bound to arouse a lot of controversy and attract countless attention.

The underrated playoff recruit Danzi, who was considered very likely to be defeated by the experienced Dallas Mavericks in the playoffs, beat the New Orleans Hornets, but easily won the game against the opponent 104-92 , severely slapped some experts in the face.

He told the entire league with practical actions that the current king of NBA point guards is him-CP3.

……

At 2008:4 pm on April 23, 7, the game between the Charlotte Bobcats and the Detroit Pistons continued at the Palace of Auburn Hills.

The Detroit Pistons, who are temporarily behind by 0-1, vowed to win this game, otherwise they will go to the away game with a big score of 0-2.

From the training before the game, it can be seen that the Detroit Pistons are very concerned about this game, and seem to be very dissatisfied with the poor shooting in the last game. All the players came to the arena early to do warm-up training for shooting.

And including Hamilton, Rasheed Wallace and others all practiced three-pointers.

In the last game, the Pistons only made two three-pointers, and only scored 78 points in the game. This is not the game in the 80s. No matter how good their defense is, their offensive level is less than 80 points. You can't win the game no matter what, and the three-pointer seems to be getting more and more attention.

In the interview before the start of the game, Chauncey Billups, the head of the Pistons, also responded to Zhou Lin's arrogant remarks: "Are we old? This is a very strange statement. We are in the golden age. Prime, unfading body, best experience unless they can keep up that intensity every game, and we have a bad shot and the night before, there's no way to win against us."

"Of course, he is a very smart guy. He knows the importance of Rashid to us. Of course, he can only use this kind of trick once. Rashid will control his temper. I promise him. "

Of course, like the Detroit Pistons, although the Charlotte Bobcats won the victory, they also exposed some disadvantages, such as unstable shooting and poor handling of key balls. It was a little lucky to win the last game ingredients included.

"Tough to tough, you need more shots to improve your touch. As the core of the team's offense, you have to crush your defenders."

Michael Jordan personally came to the scene of the game, and before the start of the game, he made some suggestions to Zhou Lin. In the last game, Zhou Lin's shooting percentage was less than [-]%!

"Zhou, play hard, return to Charlotte 2-0, I want to open champagne for you again!"

Both sides have a strong desire to win this game. In a tense atmosphere, the second round begins!
The starting lineups of both sides have changed.

Brandon Roy replaced Raymond Felton into the starting lineup, and the rest of Mike Dunleavy, Zhou Lin, Emeka Okafor, and Nazr Mohammed remained unchanged.

The 2.01 heavy forward Jason Maxhill, who performed well on the field, replaced Antonio McDyess and entered the starting lineup. The other players remained unchanged, namely Chauncey Billups, Richard Hamilton, Tyshawn Prince, and Rasheed Wallace.

Rasheed Wallace helped the team win the ball in the first wave.

Unlike the previous offensive constipation, the Detroit Pistons played the offense they wanted. Hamilton, as the team's first scoring point, came out from the baseline and faced Mike Dunleavy's defense. Made the first mid-range shot.

Zhou Lin knew very well that you can't expect the Detroit Pistons to be constipated in every game. After all, this is an Eastern Conference-level team. The four generals in the team have participated in many epic battles. , and the adjustment ability is also very strong.

Going back to the offensive round of the Bobcats, after Raymond Felton was placed on the bench, although Brandon Roy, who was 196cm tall, was the team's point guard, in fact Zhou Lin became the team's point guard. A true playmaker.

Zhou Lin's height can guarantee his passing sight.

In the last game, Mike Dunleavy scored 6 for 0 and did not score. After receiving a pass from Zhou Lin, he directly made a three-pointer and opened the scoring for the team.

"Nice shot, Mike, I know you can recover."

After Mike Dunleavy added an assist to his stat column, Zhou Lin took the initiative to find Mike Dunleavy to give him a high five.

Mike Dunleavy, who averaged 19.9 points per game, is the team's second scorer. His three-point shooting percentage this season is 42.4%. The Pistons are among the top five pitchers in the league. The Pistons also can't expect Mike Dunleavy to miss every game.

"The offense of both sides is much smoother than the previous game."

"The players on both sides were a bit tight in the last game. After all, the two teams only scored 163 points in the game, which is really too little."

However, the losers of the previous game, the Detroit Pistons rebounded first in this game.

The best hit among them was Rasheed Wallace.

Rasheed Wallace, who was sent off in the last game because he couldn't control his emotions, didn't play this game with such vigor. Facing Okafor's defense, his mid-range shooting and back The body seems to be skillful and easy to handle, and Emeka Okafor suffered a big loss when he was stuck in the position.

In addition to putting the ball in the basket twice, he also drew two fouls from Okafor.

Rasheed Wallace scored 6 points in a row, so Zhou Lin had to go to the inside to help defend, and the little prince Prince suddenly fired from the outside, a long two points plus a layup 2+1 succeeded, Individuals also scored 1 points in 5 minute.

On the other hand, for the Charlotte Bobcats, the inside line is almost useless. Okafor and Mohammed's sudden force in the inside line against the Pistons seemed a bit unprepared, and even lost three offensive rebounds in a row. Trance moment.

17-7, after 7 minutes of the opening game, the Bobcats only scored [-] points.

Capel called a timeout, while Chris Webber kept instilling in Okafor how to defend Rasheed Wallace.

The timeout ended with Chris Webber replacing Nazr Mohammad and Raymond Felton replacing Brandon Roy.

Going back to the game, the Charlotte Bobcats finally found an opportunity inside. Chris Webber's turn and hook helped the team stabilize their position after the timeout.

And in the next defensive round, facing Max Hill, who was a generation thicker than himself, Chris Webber taught Emeka Okafor a vivid lesson, what is called retreating and defending, what is called surprise, A defensive strategy of pumping a stool directly caused Mark Hill's walking violation.

Emeka Okafor also nodded frequently. He still gained something from Chris Webber's on-site teaching.

It's like having an old man in a family is like having a treasure.

Zhou Lin waited until 3 minutes before the end of the first quarter before hitting the first goal of the game.

Received a pass from Mike Dunleavy and made a 3-pointer in the sweet spot.

The Charlotte Bobcats also beat the Detroit Pistons 12-4.

At the end of the first quarter, they trailed by two points 19-21.

Of course, what the Bobcats didn't expect was that their bench lineup would be overwhelmed by the Pistons' bench lineup.

Brandon Roy and Boris Diaw's main connecting segment was scored consecutively by the Pistons' bench lineup led by Ronnie Stuckey and Antonio McDyess.

Rookie Ronnie Stuckey, a point guard known as Prince Kei in history, squeezed out historical point guard Chauncey Billups in his second year in history, and went directly to the position , was amazed by later generations.

This year's data is only 7.6 points and 2.8 assists, which can only be called average among this year's rookies.

Of course, the decline of the Pistons also started when Ronnie Stuckey became the team's first choice at the No. [-] position.

However, this player also has a remarkable side. He is a tall combo player with strong impact and good defense. The disadvantage is that his shooting is not stable, and more points are obtained near the basket. .

To be honest, the Bobcats did not do enough research on Stuckey.

This also led to Ronnie Stuckey coming up in the second quarter, directly using a breakthrough and a half-shot, and blinding the Bobcats' substitute.

A wave of 11-0 spurt, Ronnie Stuckey scored 8 points and 1 assist, which made Detroit fans praise the defender.

Returning to the main lineup, he even replaced Hamilton and played with Chauncey Billups for half a quarter.

The hole dug in the second quarter also allowed the Bobcats to return to the locker room 37-49 behind by 12 points at the end of the second quarter.

Zhou Lin took 7 shots in the half, scoring 7 points and 3 assists.

"Come on! Play our style in the second half, pay attention to the protection of the rim, Emeka, pay attention to your fouls."

Okafor has assumed more responsibility for defending Rasheed Wallace in this game, and one thing to say is that as long as Rasheed Wallace can control his emotions, he still has a strong offensive ability. of power.

The most important thing is that he is 211cm tall and has a good three-pointer.

Okafor is not afraid of inside players to fight him physically, but he is very uncomfortable when he encounters a player like Rasheed Wallace who has no dead ends in offense. Watching Rasheed Wallace hit a three-pointer.

And Rasheed Wallace's shot is a straight-arm jumper, which makes the defense even more difficult.

But Okafor is already the best Rasheed Wallace defender.

Mohammed is slower than Okafor, Zhou Lin and Mike Dunleavy are too small, Boris Diaw can't shoot high enough and can't defend, Chris Webber is the right height and weight, but his injuries It still affects the oldest veteran on the court.

Now the only thing that can stand against Rasheed Wallace is his emotion management.

As a barometer for the Detroit Pistons, Rasheed Wallace is in good spirits, so the game of the Detroit Pistons will naturally go smoothly.

"In the third quarter, try to chase the score within 5 points, or even tie it!"

Capel Road.

The second half started, the lineup remained the same.

As the only player with a scoring average of over 20 in the regular season, Zhou Lin stood out in the early part of the third quarter.

Facing Prince's long arm interference first, Zhou Lin used a three-pointer to hit the second three-pointer of the game, and then used the screen to go straight to the basket and faced Rasheed Wallace Score with a drawbar.

What disappointed Zhou Lin was that today Rasheed Wallace did a good job of controlling his emotions, not to mention ignoring Zhou Lin's trash talk, even though Zhou Lin deliberately rubbed his shoulder with his shoulder after scoring a goal Rasheed Wallace, Rasheed Wallace just gave Zhou Lin a sideways glance.

"Same trick, don't try to trick me twice!"

Rasheed Wallace said: "Young man, don't take these off-the-box tricks as a means to succeed in every game."

Uh……

It seems that the psychological massage given to Rasheed Wallace by the Detroit Pistons is very effective.

Looking back, Rasheed Wallace scored 4 points in a row at the end of the third quarter.

However, Zhou Lin's touch picked up in the third quarter, and he scored 12 points in a single quarter.

At the end of the third quarter, the Charlotte Bobcats were 64 points behind the Detroit Pistons 74-10.
