This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 224 Goodbye, Chris Webber
In this game, the Charlotte Bobcats played the most resolutely, but also the toughest.

However, there is no one-sided tendency.

For the Detroit Pistons, today may be their best first quarter. After Zhou Linga made a free throw, Rasheed Wallace came out and shot a three-pointer, which was considered a response.

You must know that the Detroit Pistons may be one of the few teams in the league that shoot the fewest three-pointers. In 82 games, the team only made about 1300 shots.

And in the playoffs, production was further reduced.

In the first four games of the playoffs, there were only 32 shots outside the three-point line, 12 goals were hit, and only 3 shots per game.

In contrast, the Charlotte Bobcats took 52 shots and hit 21 goals, averaging 5.2 goals per game.

Today, the Detroit Pistons scored two hits 2 minutes before the first quarter, which is a bit unexpected.

Returning to the Charlotte Bobcats' side of the court, Emeka Okafor received a pass from Zhou Lin, chipped one in, and even hammered Rasheed Wallace who was defending him. He fell to the ground, but the referee didn't blow his whistle, and Okafor went straight to the basket and dunked.

After the dunk, Okafor seemed very excited, beating his chest and roaring.

7-6.

Changing to fight again, Zhou Lin volunteered to defend Hamilton, and he asked Mike Dunleavy to defend Prince.

Yes, he is going to stick to the first scoring point of the Detroit Pistons.

In the first three games, Zhou Lin hardly faced Hamilton.

Generally speaking, there are very few teams whose first scoring point is to defend the opponent's arrow-shaped figure. Of course, some offensive and defensive players, such as Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, or future 'artificial' Smart' except.

If it weren't for Tianwangshan, which is crucial to this game, Zhou Lin might not be willing to run around the field with Hamilton.

You must know that the 'mask man' who can't run to death is a recognized physical monster in the league.

This guy who can run away to kill a physical fitness master has the label of a physical fitness monster in his genes.

There are several relatives of long-distance runners in his family. His endurance comes not only from acquired training, but also from innate genes.

If it weren't for Richard Hamilton's height of nearly 2 meters, and it is true that basketball players make more money than long-distance runners, perhaps the current Hamilton is an excellent long-distance runner.

Everyone knows that his off-ball running can almost be said to be at the textbook level, and he is the kind of second position that does not need to occupy the ball. Surprisingly high.

He's the perfect fit for team basketball with the Detroit Pistons.

When he won the championship in 04, Kobe ran with Hamilton. Not only did he fail to completely guard against Hamilton, but his physical fitness was also affected, resulting in a sharp drop in shooting. After that season, Kobe also deliberately strengthened his physical training. , And there was the later Kobe Bryant with 40+ points in a row and 81 points.

Normally, the average running data of a regular player on the court is almost 3.5KM, and Richard Hamilton is almost 1.5 times to 1.8 times that of an ordinary player, and he is the player with the longest moving distance in the league for many years .

As for Zhou Lin, after the double improvement of the system and training, he can be regarded as the best in the league. Now he will use his speed and height to lock Hamilton, and Zhou Lin still has the system to supply, Today is to use endurance and defense to consume the Detroit Pistons.

In this game, Zhou Lin had the belief that he would win.

Zhou Lin's defense is very effective, even the NBA's commentator is stunned, why Zhou Lin chases Hamilton so hard.

If this continues, can your offense, as the core of the Bobcats' offense, still be guaranteed?
It is not a good choice to exchange with Hamilton of the Pistons who play team basketball.

But Zhou Lin used his own ability to break their doubts. After running with Hamilton for at least 5 minutes, Zhou Lin was still able to complete the difficult middle distance.

Under the leadership of Zhou Lin, the Charlotte Bobcats played a wave of 7-19 offense 9 minutes before the start.

Zhou Lin's lock on Hamilton made the Detroit Pistons' tactics lack a corner, and Billups is not Iverson, a guard with super breakthrough ability like Wade. His strengths lie in passing and pressing rhythm. , You can also shoot key shots, but you can't expect Billups to score 30 or 40 points in a game.

Teammates were suppressed, and the shortcomings of the Detroit Pistons' lack of absolute one-on-one heads-up players were also revealed.

Fortunately, the home basket of the Detroit Pistons was friendly enough to them today. Billups barely made several shots and went in upside down.

And at the end of the first quarter, the Charlotte Bobcats also failed to score repeatedly. Zhou Lin's breakthrough today was indeed bold, but his outside touch was indeed lacking.

At the end of the first quarter, the Charlotte Bobcats led by 27 points 23-4.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Chauncey Billups hit another three-pointer from the outside. The Detroit Pistons made the fourth three-pointer in this game. It was a bit beyond Capel's expectations. Sh. Parker was sent to keep an eye on Chauncey Billups.

Slightly curbed Chauncey Billups' breakthrough.

Of course, compared to Redmond Felton, Smush Parker's scoring ability is much inferior, basically equal to 0.

As an inside substitute, veteran Chris Webber was also replaced, but today's Boris Diaw has yet to play.

As a result, Max Hill grabbed three offensive rebounds in a row on the head of the old man Chris Webber.

Without Brandon Roy in the early part of the second quarter, the Charlotte Bobcats played very passively.

Prince also scored another three-pointer early in the second quarter.

After Zhou Lin returned to the court after a 3-minute break, the Detroit Pistons had already overtaken the score under the three-point offensive.

33-32.

Zhou Lin, who took a short break, scored a three-pointer from the outside as soon as he came up.

"This three-pointer is too hemostatic. The Charlotte Bobcats didn't make a good three-pointer today. This is just the first three-pointer. On the other hand, the Detroit Pistons scored 32 points today. Three-pointers With only 18 points, the two teams feel like they have lost one."

As soon as Zhou Lin came up, the offense and defense of the Charlotte Bobcats quickly returned to the right track.

With Zhou Lin breaking through to the basket twice, he assisted Okafor and Smush Parker scored from the outside.

The Charlotte Bobcats played a wave of 8-0 offense here.

Under the defense of Zhou Lin, Hamilton, the top scorer of the Detroit Pistons, did not make another layup until 8 minutes and 23 seconds into the second quarter, adding two points to the team.

But until now, Hamilton has only shot 4 times. Zhou Lin is too tall, and he does not hesitate to chase himself physically.

Under the instigation of Zhou Lin, the Charlotte Bobcats won the second quarter again with a score of 26-20.

The halftime score was 53-43, and the lead came to double digits.

It's just that in the third quarter, the situation changed suddenly. The first five attempts of the Charlotte Bobcats were all gone. Raymond Felton and Zhou Lin went inside twice.

The referee also seems to be looking for checks and balances, so there are some balls that can be blown or not, but none of them are blown.

This also affected the emotions of Zhou Lin and Raymond Felton to a certain extent, and Zhou Lin ran to the referee anxiously, showing his injuries and the wounds on his face.

If Mike Dunleavy hadn't pulled away in time, Zhou Lin might have had a T.

After all, Tianwangshan was played at the Palace of Auburn Hills, home of the Detroit Pistons!

It's not normal if the referee doesn't have a little bit of bias when the home team is behind.

As for the Detroit Pistons, the combination of Antonio McDyess and Rasheed Wallace took the lead in taking advantage of the referee's style of ownership. They received continuous care from the referee in the interior and went to the free throw line twice. And let Emeka Okafor get his fourth foul again in the third quarter and had to be replaced.

Emeka Okafor also shook his head helplessly.

The score advantage is being eroded, and it is about to be reversed.

The combination of Chris Webber and Nazr Mohammad is completely at a disadvantage to defend the inside combination of the Pistons today.

As a result, even though Chris Webber worked very hard, he was still crushed by his junior Maxiel with better physical fitness.

And at this time, something happened that made Charlotte Bobcats fans even more distressed. After a confrontation with Mark Hill, Chris Webber fell to the ground after a collision, clutching his ribs The head looked very painful and couldn't stand up again.

And through the live replay, everyone saw the details of Chris Webber's injury. With Maxiel's last push, he tried his best, and the elbow of the ball protector happened to hit Chris Webber's ribs. And it was that blow that directly made Chris Webber fall to the ground.

"It should be a broken rib in the fourth quarter!"

After a simple inspection, the team doctor said.

Then, Chris Webber, accompanied by the team's staff, left the court.

The injury this time almost made him miss this round of the series, and it is very likely that Chris Webber will also retire because of this. Historically, Chris Webber also retired in the 07-08 season, but he is After returning to his home team, the Warriors, he retired.

Chris Webber, who has played basketball for 16 years, has reached the age when he should consider retiring. Chris Webber talked to him about his future in his studio, and he told Zhou Lin that after playing He will retire this season to try a different life, because now he has become a dispensable role for the team on the court, and this feeling makes him a little lost.

Maybe it's to act in some movies, or start a sports equipment or music record company, or continue to participate in the game of basketball as a high school team coach or basketball commentator.

There is one thing to say, the current Chris Webb in the Bobcats is more of a spiritual leader. The real combat power may only be eleventh of the peak period, but only one-tenth of this, as long as Chris Weber still has the heart Playing, there must be a place for him in the NBA.

And Zhou Lin is very grateful to this senior who likes this senior, but Zhou Lin also thinks that it is a good choice to retreat bravely.

When Marion was still in the Charlotte Bobcats, if it wasn't for the support of Chris Webber, even if Zhou Lin played well, he would have little say in the locker room, and when the Bobcats were facing a decision , Chris Webber also personally made a suggestion with the management to make Zhou Lin the core. You must know that the Charlotte Bobcats had the idea of ​​​​trading Zhou Lin.

Of course, outside of basketball, such as music, he and Chris Webber can't find resonance...

Zhou Lin looked at Chris Webber's back as he walked from the court to the player tunnel, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.

Maybe it's the reluctance to give up on a big brother, or the pity for a former hero. That once talented power forward finally couldn't withstand the erosion of time, and he should be the pity among those who have never won a championship. one.

"come on!"

Suddenly, Chris Webb turned his head and took a look at the stadium he loved so much. The words of cheering resounded throughout the stadium, perhaps to his teammates and opponents who were still struggling for longevity, or perhaps to himself.

I have to be more courageous to face the years without basketball.

At the same time, the picky fans in Detroit gave the veteran who once played in this stadium thunderous applause.

There is no denying the greatness of Chris Webber.

And back to reality.

The absence of Chris Webber has also put the Charlotte Bobcats' employment in crisis.

Now only Emeka Okafor and Nazr Mohammed are left inside.

Of course, there are rookie Sean Williams and 34-year-old veteran Osella Harrington on the bench, but the problem is that no matter who they are, Capel doesn't trust them.

In this case, in the key battle of Tianwangshan, a new recruit, a 2.06-meter 34-year-old mini center, even some bold coaches dare not use it easily, let alone Capel, who strives to make no mistakes. Conservative coach.

"I'll play number four!"

Zhou Lin looked at the embarrassed Capel and said: "Last season, I played the fourth position."

"No more injuries!"

This round of the series can be described as disastrous for the Charlotte Bobcats.

In G2, Brandon Roy was reimbursed for the season. In G3, there was a gang fight. The three core players were suspended and missed G4. The Detroit Pistons regained the home court advantage. In G5, the team's only trustworthy substitute insider, Chris Webber was defeated. Bumped off the court with broken ribs and had little chance of ever getting back on the court.

And Zhou Lin's proposal is also the rhythm of tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall.

Zhou Lin was targeted at the fourth position, so Mike Dunleavy had to take the third position, and Jeff McGinnis was at the second position.

Tianwangshan in G5, the Charlotte Bobcats once again fell into crisis.
