This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 264 He Can Really Play Point Guard

After falling out of the playoffs last season, the 10th-ranked Chicago Bulls in the Eastern Conference got the No. [-] pick and got Derek Rose. The second player who is expected to be revived, and compared to Michael Beasley, the No. [-] pick with a non-descript position, Derrick Rose has secured the team's starting lineup since the first game and was established early. for core players.

Strong physical fitness, often staged folding rods, and rim-exploding dunks are almost frequent visitors of the top ten shots every week.

The eye-catching style of play also made Derrick Rose quickly become the darling of Chicago and even the league.

In Zhou Lin's view, if it wasn't for injuries, Derrick Rose would have every chance to win the title of one of the best point guards in history.

Throughout the 11 games in November, Derrick Rose averaged 14 points and 19 assists per game. Both scoring and assists ranked first among rookies, and he was named the best rookie of the month without any suspense. The current Chicago Bulls also won 5.8 11 losses, ranking seventh in the Eastern Conference.

The starting lineup dispatched by the Chicago Bulls is: Derek Rose, Ben Gordon, Ruhr Deng, Drew Gooden, Aaron Gray.

Aaron Gray, a big center produced by the University of Pittsburgh, helped the Chicago Bulls get the first wave of possession. In terms of matchup, Zhou Lin was not facing Derrick Rose. All of them are considered fast, and Zhou Lin's movement speed is extremely fast in the forward position, but as a defender, he can only be said to move at a mediocre speed.

In the opening stage, Derrick Rose helped the team take the lead in scoring points through a mid-range jumper.

And Zhou Lin took the ball from Mike Dunleavy in the backcourt and led it forward. Drew Gooden pointed to Zhou Lin and asked, "Zhou, who does Zhou belong to?"

Because Drew Gooden usually encounters the Charlotte Bobcats, he will basically be sent to defend Zhou Lin, but in this game, Zhou Lin played at the first position, and the opponent's guard combination, Derrick Rose And Ben Gordon, one is 1.88 meters tall and the other is 1.91 meters tall. They are naturally misaligned with Zhou Lin. The Chicago Bulls Ruel Deng chose to defend Zhou Lin.

After Zhou Lin and Emeka Okafor pick-and-roll, Zhou Lin's ball was given to Mike Dunleavy, who was running from one side. Dunleavy made a three-pointer directly and made the Bobcats' first three-pointer of the game. !
"Zhou Lin's passing and dribbling abilities can indeed bear the burden of a point guard, and Zhou Lin himself carries a huge threat. When Zhou Lin holds the ball, even if the final result is a pass, the opponent must be I dare not let Zhou Lin go easily."

"The audience in front of the TV, I was as surprised as you are, but you are not mistaken, in this game, Zhou Lin is indeed playing point guard, and it is natural that Larry Brown is willing to line up like this There is his reason, whether it is forced by the situation, or it is a different way.”

"The so-called rules are meant to be broken. It doesn't necessarily mean that point guards must only be 1.8 meters or 1.9 meters tall, nor can it be said that players at the 5th position must have a height of more than two meters. Throughout history, Barker With a height of less than two meters, Ben Wallace, who is the best defensive player four times, is only a little over two meters tall, while Magic Johnson, the number one point guard in history, has a height of 4 As long as the effect is good, Zhou Lin’s point guard may even become the norm, and in the future there may be other players who break the basic height framework at the point guard position, or even point guards who are 2.06 meters tall.”

"Yes, there will always be some wizards in history."

Playing a point guard is a little different from playing a supporting forward. The most basic thing is a large concentration of ball possessions, and it also requires players to restrain their own desire to attack and mobilize teammates.

Of course, as an excellent point guard, the size of the offensive threat itself will also determine how much offensive space his teammates will have.

For example, Derrick Rose, his speed can attract two or even three defenders, so his breakthrough points account for the most in the assist ratio.

Of course, the Chicago Bulls will think that Zhou Lin can single-block the offensive killer at the first position, but on the defensive end, Zhou Lin is facing the current scoring leader of the Chicago Bulls, Ben Gordon. Deng still wanted to break through in front of Zhou Lin, but what he didn't expect was that Zhou Lin's defensive ability was stronger than almost everyone imagined. When Ben Gordon squeezed in, facing the tall Zhou Lin, he His shooting vision was severely compressed, and he did not lose his position. Ben Gordon's shot was affected, and he made a direct shot.

"Zhou Lin's defensive ability is much better than we imagined, especially for outside players."

The commentators also found that Zhou Lin's defense seems to be quite good, and the effect of letting Zhou Lin face the strong men who may appear in the third and fourth positions, Zhou Lin's defensive ability can only be said to be at the middle level of the league, Zhou Lin's His strengths lie in supplementary defense and assisting defense. When encountering a stocky power forward or an impactful small forward, Zhou Lin will sometimes suffer a little loss in confrontation, but when he is placed on the back line to defend, Zhou Lin suddenly becomes a big player. shield!
As long as the player can't pass him, even though his wingspan is very short, the height he can lift can already give a strong sense of oppression to a defender who is less than two meters away.

It can be said that today's Ben Gordon is destined to live in a strange feeling.

In fact, before that, Larry Brown was also worried that Zhou Lin would suffer defensively when facing the opponent's small guards, but Zhou Lin has always been looking for training targets, and many of them are small men.

Zhou Lin also likes the feeling of having the ball in his hands, and Zhou Lin also has a scale in his heart when it comes to the right to shoot. He must pass when it is time to pass, but not necessarily for the sake of passing.

In the first quarter, Zhou Lin only made 2 shots, all of which were hits, scoring 4 points and 3 assists.

When the second quarter debuted, Roy Hibbert also appeared with Zhou Lin after the break.

It's really interesting to set up a pick-and-roll between these two combinations with an average height of seven feet. The ball doesn't need to land, and the Chicago Bulls players can't reach it. After Roy Hibbert came up, he continued He ate cakes fed by Zhou Lin twice, dunked twice with ease, and scored 1 points in a row within 4 minute.

Coach Negro immediately replaced the tall and long-armed Joakim Noah on the field, hoping that Noah could influence Hibbert.

In the NCAA, Hibbert is not at the same level as Joakim Noah. Although Noah looks rough and has weird shots, he is actually a skilled player with a keen sense of defense and quick feet. And also has a good ability to support the ball.

But Black Yao Ming completely beat Joakim Noah in this game. Of course, if Hibbert is allowed to receive the ball outside the three-second zone, and even needs to dribble the ball two or three times, then how would he play? Nor is Noah's opponent, but if Hibbert wants to get the ball in the three-second zone, he only needs to shoot at most, and he can easily put the ball into the basket without even needing to shoot the ball?

This feeling reminded Joakim Noah of that terrible man, Greg Oden!

He has a height of 217CM, a terrifying wingspan of 226CM, and a weight of 275 pounds.

"Zhou Lin is feeding Roy Hibbert as Yao Ming!"

The CCTV commentator couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene.

In the second quarter, Roy Hibbert suddenly became the strongest offensive point on the field. Whether it was Aaron Gray or Joakim Noah, they suffered a lot when defending Roy Hibbert. loss.

And the head coach of the Bulls has always asked his inside players to block, grab positions, go around the front, and even adopt the method of double-teaming. Otherwise, Hibbert may really be able to put the Chicago Bulls A hole was poked out in the internal line barrier.

But what I never expected was that the Chicago Bulls let Roy Hibbert temporarily stop the offensive flames, but then the Charlotte Bobcats opened the perimeter.

The price of shrinking the inside line is destined to let go of some outside pitchers, but the players of the Charlotte Bobcats, no matter the players at the third or fourth positions, whether it is Mike Dunleavy, Boris Diaw, Radmanovich, Or James Posey, who has a three-point shooting rate of more than 35%, and Radmanovich and Mike Dunleavy are even more three-pointers.

In the second quarter, Mike Dunleavy and Radmanovich had two three-pointers respectively, and Zhou Lin also scored a three-pointer.

A high score of 37 points was scored in a single quarter.

62-47, leading the opponent by 15 points at halftime.

"It's so comfortable to play!"

Both Mike Dunleavy and Roy Hibbert have this feeling. What they have to do seems to be very simple, just catch the ball and throw it in.

Among them, Hibbert scored 7 points in 8 minutes of playing time in a single quarter, setting a personal scoring record in a single quarter.

In the half game, the Charlotte Bobcats made 13 of 8 three-pointers, and the shooting percentage was also frighteningly high.

As soon as this lineup of the Charlotte Bobcats was released, they first questioned it, and then they didn't adapt to it. The first one to suffer was the Chicago Bulls.

At halftime, the Charlotte Bobcats put a mask of pain on the head coach of the Chicago Bulls.

And they also tried to press Zhou Lin, but after Zhou Lin stopped the ball, he was not afraid of pressing at all. His height advantage allowed him to easily find the location of his teammates. Want to double-team me?Come on, I can't wait.

"Is this the answer the Charlotte Bobcats are looking for?"

"Three positions in three seasons, from the No. 5 position in the rookie season, to the No. [-] position last season, to the No. [-] position this season, according to Zhou Lin's height and scoring ability, guest roles at the No. [-] and No. [-] positions, It seems to be a piece of cake, in the history of the NBA, it seems that there is really no player who has played in all five positions for a period of time."

In the live broadcast room of ESPN, it was also very lively. A joke made by the magician really made the Charlotte Bobcats take it seriously, and the effect was so good. Zhou Lin was transferred to the No. The No. [-] position got the fire, and also liberated the shooting ability of James Posey, Mike Dunleavy, and Ramanovich.

In the third quarter, the Chicago Bulls felt warmer. Derrick Rose did look like an MVP. After the team’s scoring leader Ben Gordon was accidentally restricted by Zhou Lin, Derrick Rose released his offense in the third quarter Firepower, scored 14 points in a single quarter, helping the team catch up to within 10 points and enter the fourth quarter.

And in the fourth quarter, Larry Brown finally dispatched Roy Hibbert. In the second quarter, Roy Hibbert succeeded in eating cakes in the interior several times, causing the opponent's defense line to collapse one after another. Crash, Larry Brown naturally saw this, and in the face of Derrick Rose's constant attacks to the basket, the combination of Emeka Okafor and Radmanovic was indeed a little bit unable to protect basket.

The black tower of 217cm is going to the basket, that is a threat.

"The lineup that gave Coach Negro a headache is coming again!"

The players on CCTV shouted: "This Roy Hibbert and our Chinese fans like to call him Black Yao Ming. Not to mention the complete Yao Ming, there are some big monsters who can play at 80% of the level. Then Charlotte The Bobcats are blessed this season."

"An insider answer!"

Although Roy Hibbert was a little over-excited after his debut in the fourth quarter, and missed the basket twice, this threat still made the Chicago Bulls' defensive focus continue to shift to the inside.

Mike Dunleavy's three-pointer and Boris Diaw's high jump shot helped the team expand the score advantage again. Although Derrick Rose succeeded in two consecutive layups, one of which was 2+1, but with Zhou Lin's two steady Such as the old dog's mid-range hit, the game was once again widened to 2 points. The Chicago Bulls stopped their flags, raised the white flag, and replaced the main lineup, while the Charlotte Bobcats also replaced them. Substitute lineup, Ming Jin retreats!
In the end, the game ended without any waves.

112-89, 23 points to beat the Chicago Bulls.

"You're too big, Coach Brown will really let you play number one."

Derek Rose and Zhou Lin bumped into each other and exchanged greetings.

"I didn't expect the effect to be good." Zhou Lin said modestly.

In this game, Derrick Rose scored 28 points and 7 assists, scoring a career high.

而周林这边9投6中，得到13分却有恐怖的15个助攻，其中15个助攻也是刷新了职业生涯记录。

Driven by Zhou Lin, six Charlotte Bobcats scored in double figures!
In addition to Zhou Lin, Mike Dunleavy scored 22 points, Radmanovich scored 15 points, Emeka Okafor also scored 17 points, and Boris Diaw, who came off the bench, scored 12 points. Roy Hibbert, who played 18 minutes in this game, scored 16 points, 12 of which were passed by Zhou Lin, and the other 4 points were scored during garbage time. Of course, 16 points also created Roy Hibbert again. Bert scored a new high.
