This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 268 I'm Angry!

However, as the defending champion, the Boston Celtics are still full of background. At the beginning of the second quarter, the Boston Celtics subconsciously began to press the rhythm. The team may not be able to gain the upper hand in chaotic battles and passionate games. In the early part of the second quarter, Ramon Sessions led the team to play as the second substitute, but he was not as good as the old Eddie House was very suppressed. Paul Pierce faced the defense of his old teammate James Posey in the third position, and he also began to feel what he wanted. He broke through and scored consecutively, helping the team quickly close the score!
At 7 minutes and 16 seconds, after Zhou Lin replaced Ramon Sessions, the Charlotte Bobcats were only 35-33, leaving a 2-point advantage.

In the second round after Zhou Lin came on the field, did the Celtics also dispatch their troops? They sent defensive giant Tony Allen to haunt Zhou Lin, although Tony Allen was only 1.93 in height meters, but the wingspan has also reached 206cm, and Tony Allen eats defense. From the first position to the third position, Tony Allen can defend.

If Tony Allen's offensive ability can be a little bit stronger, then Tony Allen is at least at the level of tens of millions of annual salary.

And his playing also eased the pressure on Ray Allen on the defensive end. Although Ray Allen has amazing physical fitness, he was born in 1975 and he is also the oldest player among the Big Three. It can be said that the Big Three in Boston gather. Individuals have made huge sacrifices at the data level, but Ray Allen is undoubtedly the biggest sacrifice. In terms of personal honor, Paul Pierce won the Finals Most Valuable Player, while Kevin Garnett was the Harvested the only best defensive player trophy in his career.

At the same time, he lost a lot of ball rights. Last season, he only scored 17.4 points, which was a sharp drop of 06 points from the 07 points in the 26.4-9 season. For example, when he met the Los Angeles Lakers in the Finals last season, what he needed more was to defend Kobe Bryant.

From a super scorer to a 3D player.

Although the concept of 3D has not been mentioned for the time being, Ray Allen's responsibility under Rivers is undoubtedly the role of 3D.

In this game, Ray Allen is currently only 3 of 1 and scored 2 points. This is also because he has assumed the important responsibility of defending Zhou Lin. Now Tony Allen has taken over the burden of defending Zhou Lin, which can be regarded as liberating Ray. Allen, with this, Ray Allen finally made a three-pointer from beyond the three-point line.

On Zhou Lin's side, Tony Allen was defended a little bit uncomfortable, and there was even a record of being directly intercepted, although Zhou Lin's timely defense gave Tony Allen a big cap.

Before Tony Allen, Zhou Lin didn't make too much effort to call the pick-and-roll, because in one-on-one situations, no matter whether he was facing Jane Rondo or Ray Allen, Zhou Lin had a certain degree of control. dislocation advantage, but even Zhou Lin has to admit that in the case of individual defense, Tony Allen is the best one in the current Celtics to limit himself. Of course, this is also related to role positioning. Rivers used Tony Allen for defense, and Tony Allen knew this very well, so he had to work harder than the first two players who defended Zhou Lin.

The seven-foot O'Bryant also got a chance to play in this game. The historical Patrick O'Bryant should be a member of the Boston Celtics. He signed with the Boston Celtics in the summer of 08. The next two years of the contract, but perhaps the historical lines will make up for each other. Ryan Hollins, who should have appeared in the Charlotte Bobcats lineup, is now in the Boston Celtics' camp.

Zhou Lin is a player who is very good at pick-and-rolls. After the pick-and-roll, he has a high probability of giving the ball to the inside players. However, Zhou Lin can't compliment O'Bryant on his ability to eat cakes. This 06 player The No. 10 show, in the second round of the same grade, in front of Ryan Hollins, did not gain the upper hand at all, and subconsciously hesitated before making a move. This kind of redundant action led to the loss of a fleeting opportunity. The offense was blocked by a block by Ryan Hollins.

This is also the second quarter, the epitome of the Charlotte Bobcats game. Zhou Lin is being targeted. Tony Allen doesn't need to do anything. Zhou Lin's ball also made Zhou Lin very uncomfortable, while other players got a good chance, but they couldn't shoot the basket into the basket for a long time.

In the second quarter, the Charlotte Bobcats only scored 9 points in a single quarter. It can be said that the Boston Celtics' defensive deployment was very successful.

The Boston Celtics, who maintained a normal offensive level, scored 23 points in this quarter, which directly overtook the score.

47-41, the Charlotte Bobcats trailed by 6 points.

"The Boston Celtics deserve to be the defending champions. Their experience is really experienced. They play steadily, press Zhou Lin, and put different degrees of pressure on other players according to the order of offensive ability. It is also because the Charlotte Bobcats are too young. I won’t be able to play ball all of a sudden.”

"According to me, now Zhou Lin can't deliberately suppress his scoring ability. Now, one link after another, the Celtics know that Zhou Lin will not attack, so they will take a lot of opportunities. Give it up to teammates, but Zhou Lin's biggest threat as a point guard, or what makes him different from other point guards, is his offensive ability and indiscriminate singles. No matter how you look at it, he will never become Steve Nash , or a point guard like Jason Kidd, it’s not that Zhou Lin can’t do it, but that if Zhou Lin does that, the gains outweigh the losses.”

As a player, Ma Jian's control over the details on the court is still more detailed than Yang Yi, a non-athlete.

"What kind of team is the Boston Celtics? The defending champions are now the second-best player in the league and number one in defense. If facing a weaker team, Zhou Lin can indeed mobilize his teammates, but not against the Celtics. You need to open up the game first. Only when you can attract enough attention can you give your teammates better opportunities to attack. It is the same as in the first quarter. The reason why you scored 32 points in a single quarter is because of Zhou Lingang He played well at the beginning, and when he got the ball, the Celtics panicked, and you helped the team score, and with this momentum, others began to play smoothly."

Back in the locker room, Larry Brown also emphasized this point. Although Larry Brown has repeatedly emphasized sharing the ball, Zhou Lin, as the absolute leader of the team, should stand up when other players cannot score individually , Let yourself be the target of the Boston Celtics, so that you can help the team move forward!

At the beginning of the third quarter, Brandon Roy replaced James Posey in the starting lineup. Brandon Roy and Zhou Lin complemented each other, and Larry Brown knew it very well. In the first half, James Posey Posey is 5 for 1, and the plus/minus value is the team's lowest -14.

Zhou Lin did not restrain his offensive ability at the beginning of the third quarter, and Ray Allen was still defending himself. Zhou Lin quickly used a post-up turnaround jumper to help the team score first, and his personal score was also Came to double digits.

"Good job! Just play like this!" Larry Brown stood on the sidelines and applauded Zhou Lin continuously.

"Concentrate on the defense."

Rivers also noticed this. Ray Allen's defense is definitely the best among the defenders, but the problem is that he is facing Zhou Lin, who is one size bigger than himself.

Paul Pierce wanted to single out Mike Dunleavy, but Mike Dunleavy did not lose his position, and he failed to hit the last three-pointer with a step back.

The rebound bounced far away. Brandon Roy picked up the rebound and gave it to Zhou Lin. The two quickly got off. Zhou Lin threw it high to Brandon Roy. Roy was directly throwing at Jane Rondo. One was buckled in the air above his head.

"Yes, the Bobcats are going to play like this. They don't hesitate to play fast breaks. Zhou Lin can play on his own. If there is such an opportunity, give it to his teammates."

47-45, the Boston Celtics' lead was further narrowed.

However, the Boston Celtics are still stable here. Ray Allen and Garnett scored consecutively to help the team stabilize their position.

And in the middle of the third quarter, Tony Allen was sent to restrict Zhou Lin again, but this time Zhou Lin played more proactively. In the first round of Tony Allen, Zhou Lin made a breakthrough layup. , and completed 2+1 in front of Garnett!

"Hey, Kevin, best defensive player, where are you? Why didn't you see it?"

After Zhou Lin scored the goal, he watched Kevin Garnett spouting trash talk.

Zhou Lin stood on the free throw line, and the fans in North Shore Garden were making a lot of noise, but this time Zhou Lin successfully completed the free throw, and in front of nearly [-] spectators, he put his finger on his lips.

It means: be quiet, you can't affect me.

Tony Allen was beaten by Zhou Lin. He was obviously a little unconvinced. He wanted to fight against Zhou Lin, but he was quickly driven by Zhou Lin to a well-made corner. Emeka Okafor and Zhou Lin completed the double-team together. It was difficult for Tony Allen to get the ball out. Even if he did, he was intercepted by Brandon Roy.

Brandon Roy didn't find a fast break opportunity at the first time, and gave it to Zhou Lin who came to the frontcourt immediately. With the help of the force of the impact, Zhou Lin took the ball in from outside the three-point line and ran directly to the inside Go to the basket and face Kevin Garnett single-handedly.This is also the game. Zhou Lin seldom had a real dialogue with Kevin Garnett, and the biggest topic of this game was the battle between Zhou Lin and Kevin Garnett for the All-Star starting forward.

Garnett really wanted to teach Zhou Lin a good lesson, so after Zhou Lin made a fake move, he was immediately pointed out, but after he found out that he was sloppy, Kevin Garnett didn't accept it at all. He took care of his body and grabbed Zhou Lin's head with one hand. Zhou Lin was about to stand up and shoot, but was pulled to the ground by Kevin Garnett, and Zhou Lin fell heavily to the ground.

Zhou Lin's elbow hit the ground, and it hurt a little.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Zhou Lin got up and asked Garnett, pushed Garnett, and the two formed a top bull at once, and Roy Hibbert behind Zhou Lin saw his boss It was a disadvantage, and he rushed up quickly. The big black tower was completely ready to become Zhou Lin's bodyguard.

In the end, Kevin Garnett was only called for a shooting foul, while Zhou Lin was called for a technical foul for pushing Kevin Garnett.

"Okay, I'm kind of annoyed."

After Zhou Lin made two free throws, Kevin Garnett also made another free throw. Zhou Lin was a little angry. The ball just now, not to mention a technical foul, could be called a foul!

However, instead of asking for trouble with Crawford, Zhou Lin turned his attention to Kevin Garnett.

Kevin Garnett's defense is still a bit dirty!

"I'll wait for you to find trouble anytime!"

Kevin Garnett also said mercilessly.

That being the case, Zhou Lin didn't plan to make soft-footed shrimp anymore. In the next round, Zhou Lin directly hit Tony Allen and made a three-pointer!

The personal score has reached 17 points!

"Don't let him catch the ball easily!"

Rivers did not allow the team to be suppressed by Zhou Lin at will like this.

Not only on the offensive end, but also on the defensive end, the Charlotte Bobcats have also begun to show the characteristics of a young team, which is the emotional ball.

After the main general got angry, after the team played a wave of good offense on the offensive end, the efforts on the defensive end can also be seen. In this game, Rondo played really aggrieved. The assist data has reached an average of more than 8 times per game, and the progress has been obvious. He has a feeling of becoming the fourth giant, but now he is facing Zhou Lin, this monster point guard, it is really hard to stop, and this time It was almost an 8-second violation by Brandon Roy's chasing defense.

But in positional battles, the Charlotte Bobcats' defense is absolutely not bad. Zhou Lin hit the No. 1 position. Except for Brandon Roy, who is 1.96 meters tall, the other players are all above 206cm tall. Already occupying an absolute advantage in the field, and the movement speed is not slow, which also caused the Celtics to have a big problem in attacking the position.

Even Paul Pierce scored more points above the free throw line, and the team's guard Ray Allen didn't feel good in this game. Rondo could only give the ball to Kevin Garnett However, Garnett still has a height advantage against Okafor, but Garnett's iconic turnaround jumper was felt by Zhou Lin's flattery, and he was slapped away.

"Wow!"

"As I said, I'm angry, and someone is going to suffer!"

Zhou Lin and Okafor clapped their hands to vent their emotions.
