This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 266 The All-Star Second Round Voting Result Announced...

Roy Hibbert was replaced early on. An Emeka Okafor really can't guard against Yao Ming. As long as it is one-on-one, it is basically eaten raw. So, now that Hibbert exists Here comes the meaning, choosing Hibbert is not just to deal with these best inside big men in the league.

Emeka Okafor fell to the fourth position, and the confrontation and height of the inside duo immediately increased. Yao Ming was consumed repeatedly and began to make frequent mistakes.

At this moment, the focus of the Houston Rockets has also begun to shift from the inside to the outside. McGrady used the pick-and-roll to shoot Zhou Lin two times. Like many players who have suffered injuries, McGrady has experienced a tragic back injury. The proportion of all offensive methods is getting higher and higher, but when McGrady tried to use a mid-range shot for the third time, Zhou Lin rubbed the ball a little bit with his fingertips.

"Tracey, I've got you covered."

Zhou Lin said with a smile.

Time is not forgiving, this is the 11th season of Tracy McGrady who has been diagnosed with congenital scoliosis, and in history, this season is also the season Tracy McGrady officially sank from a first-class star, also since the 00-01 season , The scoring average in the first season did not reach 20 points.

Back injuries and knee injuries made McGrady gradually lose every weapon in his arsenal, and he no longer has the ability to fly into the sky and escape from the ground.

"Yes, it's a pity I'm not as young as you!"

Looking at Zhou Lin, who is not yet 22 years old and overflowing with talent, he probably looks exactly like himself when he was young.

In the next round, Zhou Lin even staged McGrady's classic catch-and-catch dunk after throwing and dunking the ball.

"This is for you!"

The Charlotte Bobcats showed strong competitiveness at home in Houston. Although it seems that the record is much weaker than that of the Houston Rockets, in this game, no one in Houston's lineup can really limit it. Zhou Lin, when the ball is in his hands, there are too many choices he can make.

In the second quarter of the game, the Houston Rockets' bench lineup suddenly exerted strength, Brooks and Landry suddenly exerted strength, and played a 10-2 spurt in the transition period of the game, stopping the Charlotte Bobcats Here, but in this game, Brandon Roy performed very fiercely. After the timeout ended, he scored 7 points in a row, including a super long three-pointer. The fans of the Charlotte Bobcats were also there. The wait is worth it.

Of course, the most talked-about scene occurred at 1 minute and 21 seconds before the end of the first half. First, Zhou Lin forced Yao Ming to make a mistake in low-post singles, and then Yao Ming gave Zhou Lin a layup. The hot pot that overwhelms the face.

Immediately afterwards, Yao Ming dunked deep inside, and Zhou Lin then hit a three-pointer at the buzzer. The first half ended 52-51. The Charlotte Bobcats turned away and led by 1 point.

"This week, Lin and Yao Ming are really not polite at all."

"Now they are the main players of the two teams, and each is the main player. This is the attitude of professional players."

In the third quarter, under the deployment of Larry Brown, the Charlotte Bobcats immediately began to speed up. Zhou Lin and Brandon Roy made consecutive breakthrough layups in the third quarter and inquired about the Houston Rockets twice, but The Houston Rockets then hit consecutive inside, Scola and Landry frequently succeeded inside.

But relying on Radmanovic's three-pointer at the end of the third quarter, the Charlotte Bobcats still held an 11-point lead at the end of the third quarter.

Entering the fourth quarter, Alstom and McGrady's three-pointers gave the Houstonians a chance to come back, but McGrady failed to continue the touch, but the Charlotte Bobcats finally made two consecutive steals, which ruined Houston The momentum of people chasing points.

In the end, the Charlotte Bobcats ended the game 101-94 in the away game, with a 7-point advantage in the away game.

Compared with the other Christmas war between the yellow and green wars, the Rockets and the Bobcats had a lot less sparkle in the game.

本场比赛姚明波澜不惊的拿下了22分9篮板的数据，而麦迪这边，已经不复盛时之勇，只有14中5砍下14分4助攻5篮板的数据。

In this game, Zhou Lin once again hid his achievements and fame. He scored 17 points, 9 assists and 3 steals. Judging from the data, he seemed to be a real point guard. In this game, Brandon Roy ushered in He broke out and scored 28 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, including 2 of 2 three-pointers.

"Amazing."

When McGrady hugged Zhou Lin, he praised Zhou Lin sincerely.

And McGrady took out the insole and gave the sneakers worn in this game to Zhou Lin, with the words "go be who you want to be" written on it to express McGrady's encouragement for this junior.

After the game, Yao Ming talked about the duel with Zhou Lin: "I am very familiar with him, but Zhou Lin is a stranger now. I am surprised by the speed of his growth now."

"If Zhou Lin is selected as an All-Star, it is very likely that the Chinese Derby will be seen in this year's Phoenix All-Star Game."

"Yes, Zhou Lin is already an All-Star, a team in the Eastern Conference semifinals, and scored 20+5+5 data, even in the Western Conference, it is enough for him to get an All-Star spot."

Last season, Zhou Lin had a lot of calls for being selected as an All-Star. Unfortunately, the Bobcats' record before the All-Star Game was really terrible. They only squeezed into the playoffs after Marion was traded away, so at that time Zhou Lin Lin was not selected as an All-Star, and he was also called a legacy.

And on the second day, the second round of voting for the All-Stars ended.

Zhou Lin won a total of 93 votes, ranking third in the Eastern Conference, second only to Warcraft Dwight Howard with 142 million votes, his performance in the previous year's dunk contest, and the good performance of the Magic in the past two years The record makes Orlando's Superman hopeful for the first time to become the top voter.

In addition, in the West, Kobe Bryant received 128 million votes, and Yao Ming received 114 million votes. In the simulated lineup, the second guard option is Tracy McGrady, who received 74 votes and ranked after Kobe. , The two frontcourts are Tim Duncan with 90 votes and Stoudemire with 62 votes.

What's interesting is that in the last stage, Zhou Lin was nominated for the All-Star position as a small forward, but this time Zhou Lin transitioned to play point guard, and the number of votes ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference will make Zhou Lin squeeze out one by one no matter what. All-Star starting position.

Among the forwards, Kevin Garnett got 90 votes, and in the last round of voting, Zhou Lin was still 3 votes behind Garnett.

Of course, the reason why Zhou Lin was able to soar in votes at this stage was not only because of the support of his compatriots in the motherland, but also because Zhou Lin transformed to play point guard, and his style of play became more eye-catching. At the same time, the title of Chinese magician also made Zhou Lin It has become the focus of many fans.

And it would be even more interesting if Zhou Lin was put in the guard. Dwyane Wade with 123 million votes will undoubtedly get an All-Star guard spot, but Iverson, the answer to transfer to the Eastern Conference, currently only has 85 votes.

In other words, no matter how Zhou Lin divides, he will squeeze out one of Garnett and Iverson.

However, on the league side, Zhou Lin was finally classified as a forward. Because of this, Garnett's All-Star starting spot is in jeopardy.

Even Garnett himself was interviewed, and when asked about the news, he had a black face, and after drinking once, he thought that if Zhou Lin was allowed to start the All-Star, it would destroy the meaning of the All-Star.

Although later, Garnett clarified in front of the media that he did not mean anything malicious to Zhou Lin, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that Garnett was perfunctory.

Zhou Lin originally thought it was just a trivial matter, but Misha tweeted that Garnett failed to win even a single series even though he entered the playoffs twice during his first three years in Minnesota. The first time he participated in the playoffs was swept out 0-3, but Zhou Lin had won two rounds of the series in the first two years of his career.

This season, although Zhou Lin's scoring data has declined, his averages of 15.4 points, 8.7 assists, 5.6 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game are comprehensive. Under the premise of lacking major generals, he will once again put the team in the top eight in the Eastern Conference. s position.

But what I didn't expect was that Misha tweeted with reason and evidence, but was complained by many netizens, and Garnett even liked an unsightly comment, and commented, what should I say or not? That's what it means.

In the NBA, there is an unwritten rule that players can call each other whatever they want, but once the family level is involved, it is the party that loses etiquette, and it is not the first time Garnett has done this kind of thing.

Zhou Lin didn't expect that Garnett would lose his spot as an All-Star starter at such a late hour, not to mention that there was still one round of voting, and he might not be able to secure the All-Star starter qualification.

Regarding this point, Zhou Lin just smiled and said: "Then see you on the court, I just simply think that I am no worse than Kevin."

On January 1, the Charlotte Bobcats visited North Shore Gardens.

CCTV-5 also broadcast the game.

"For Americans' freedom of speech, the national conditions are different, so we can't say anything, and this game has caused quite a stir in the United States. The current record of the Charlotte Bobcats is only 17 wins and 18 losses. , ranked eighth in the Eastern Conference, while the Boston Celtics have 29 wins and 6 losses, and are currently ranked first in the Eastern Conference. It is interesting and really interesting. If the playoffs start now, there will be Having said that, the American media is not too serious about watching the excitement, the more such controversial incidents happen, the more intense their discussions and the more interesting the competition."

In the Chinese live broadcast room, Yang Yi said with a smile.

"But what I have to say is that the Celtics are really strong. The defending champion Big Three combined, and the Charlotte Bobcats, Zhou Lin, Brandon Roy, Emeka O The combined average age of Cafu and the three brothers is only 24. The average age of Ray Allen, Pierce, and Garnett is 32. The future will definitely belong to the Charlotte Bobcats, but this game depends on experience and skills. As for the upper hand, youth and fighting spirit have the upper hand."

Similarly, this is a game that is broadcast live across the United States. Barkley and A. Smith on ESPN have chatted a long time ago, and they talked a lot more presumptuously. If you are convinced, you can make an appointment for a boxing or something, a real man never beeps on his mouth.

"Hey, Zhou is a ruthless character!"

Although Barkley looks like he is pretending to be crazy, he is a very smart guy. Sometimes he deliberately said some stupid things just for the sake of sensationalism. Six years ago, after Yao Ming let him kiss the ass of a donkey, he saw the yellow-skinned player, Obviously a lot more honest.

"If you choose one of the two, in terms of players alone, I prefer Zhou. Kevin has made too many All-Star appearances, and it's time to give way to younger players. And I have to say, apart from the huge Chinese market , Zhou Lin himself is also an extremely good player, isn't he, the magician who saw the shadow!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

In this short period of ten days, the rivalry between Zhou Lin and Garnett also attracted many famous teams, and among them, Magic Johnson was on Zhou Lin's side, leading the team with a single core, breaking through for two consecutive years Entering the Eastern Conference semifinals is too good for a young player who has just entered the league.

"Let that kid who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth suffer a little bit!"

The lineup arranged by the Celtics is: Jane Rondo, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Kendrick Perkins.

For the Charlotte Bobcats, Roy Hibbert started for the first time.

Zhou Lin, James Posey, Mike Dunleavy, Emeka Okafor, Roy Hibbert.

Among them, James Posey won the second championship in his life on this field last year, and James Posey finally got the championship ring before the game.

The Charlotte Bobcats had played against the Celtics in November last year. In that game, Raymond Felton was still there, but they still lost at home. In the away game, but in the past 11 games, the Bobcats only lost 11 of them, and the integration of the team is gradually getting better.

Roy Hibbert made his NBA debut for the first time, and he was also a little nervous. He lost the jump ball with Kevin Garnett.

Looking back, Jane Rondo broke into the inside, looked back at the moon, and gave Kevin Garnett who followed up. Garnett scored a high jumper.

"If you can't win, you can't win me either!" Kevin Garnett looked at Zhou Lin and said provocatively.

And unlike other teams, the Celtics chose to defend Zhou Lin by letting Rajan Rondo single-handedly defend instead of substituting for defense.

At this stage, Rajan Rondo's defense is indeed the best among guards. His wingspan of 206 cm is almost the same as that of Zhou Lin. This also allows Rajan Rondo to contribute nearly twice in this season's games steals.
