This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 303 Dwight, restore friendship after the game
Compared with the success of the Charlotte Bobcats in the tiebreaker, it was unexpected that the Charlotte Bobcats, which had only been established for five years, touched the floor of the Eastern Conference Finals. The Orlando Magic finally won the tiebreaker 101-82, It is more reasonable to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals with a 19-point victory in the away game.

Neither team is complete, but the Orlando Magic undoubtedly have a huge advantage in the paint.

Jamal Nelson, the leading point guard, is missing, but the substitute Ralph Alston, who was recruited from Houston in the middle of the season, undoubtedly completed the replacement of Nelson very well. I used this number to tease my former teammate McGrady. The number one predecessor of the Magic is McGrady and Hardaway. Compared with the former two, Alston is an insignificant role player in the professional arena. In the playoffs, he averaged 12.5 points and 4.1 rebounds per game. As a supporting role next to the Magic's "Big Three", it is already enough.

He also fulfilled the role of Jamal Nelson's substitute very well. In fact, there is no shortage of passers in the Magic. For example, in the last game, the team's forward player, Hedo Turkoglu sent 14 assists!
But the Celtics' Kevin Garnett's groin strain was a huge blow to the Celtics. Although Rajon Rondo had shown the potential to become the team's fourth giant, he could not Replaces Garnett's effect on both offense and defense in the team.

Garnett's stand-in, Kentrick Perkins, even though he has tried his best in the series, still can't stop Warcraft from doing whatever he wants inside. He is not Kevin Garnett.

16+22，12+12，17+14，23+17，12+17，23+22，12+16！

In every game, Howard can do whatever he wants in the encirclement of the Celtics, and even grab three of them.

With the growth of Warcraft Howard, the high school champion has finally grown into a leader who can shoulder heavy responsibilities.

The Orlando Magic has also come to the season of harvest. With a radiant system, Warcraft dominates both offensive and defensive ends. Finally, in the fifth year of their career, they defeated the defending champion and stepped into the Eastern Conference finals stage!

It has to be said that this year is also the peak year of Warcraft.

Injuries have not haunted him, the small ball era has never come, and the team is well-equipped with him as the core.

This may be the post-Sharks era, the best the Magic got, or even the best center in the league.

This is also the first time that the Magic are so close to the championship after the disintegration of the Sharks and Penny.

The Charlotte Bobcats and the Orlando Magic are both teams in the Southeastern Conference, and North Carolina and Florida are not that far away, so for the first game, Zhou Lin also invited many relatives and friends to Florida to watch his game .

In addition to these, compatriot Yao Ming also took time to watch this game. This year is a rare time for the national team to not play during the window period, and he has already ended the playoffs.

In fact, at the end of the semifinals, Zhou Lin invited Yao Ming to Charlotte to give a simple training to the four inside players in the team.

After all, Yao Ming is considered to be the player who is most interested in playing Warcraft Howard in the current league. Warcraft Howard, who has already called the wind and rain in the league, will suffer a lot when he meets Yao Ming, whether it is on the defensive end or on the offensive end. Even counting the constraints in the international arena, Howard almost never beat Dayao head-on.

Of course, this is also the relationship between Dayao restraining Howard a little bit in attributes.

However, in less than four days, the means that Yao Ming can impart to the inside players of the Bobcats are limited.

Unlike the Boston Celtics, the current Charlotte Bobcats have hoarded three players over 7 feet. Although the names are not famous, they will not allow Howard to easily cut off every game. Double pairs, even 20+20!

In terms of physical condition, Roy Hibbert is the Bobcats most likely to inherit Yao Ming's mantle, and in terms of technology, Yi Jianlian is the most delicate. If we say, Yi Jianlian's technology, coupled with Roy Hibbert's body If the conditions are met, then the Bobcats' insiders have every chance to compete with Warcraft.

However, everyone knows that it is almost impossible for the Bobcats to defend Warcraft Howard alone, no matter which insider, but Dayao's experience and guidance are also a good improvement for the Bobcats' young insiders.

On the first day of coming to Orlando, Warcraft Howard invited Zhou Lin to have a meal. The relationship between the two of them is still good as a private trainer. They usually have private contact, and occasionally they will go out to play, just like a big baby. Howard is also very obsessed with Chinese Kung Fu. He thinks whether every Chinese can know Kung Fu, which also wastes Zhou Lin's saliva to explain.

In fact, during the window period after the All-Star Game, Howard even thought about asking the management of the Magic to get Zhou Lin over. In his eyes, Zhou Lin is an enhanced version of Turkoglu, and the current Tekoglu Koglu is the one who makes him most comfortable passing the ball. He doesn't like the passing of a small defender like Jamal Nelson, but prefers Turkoglu who has enough line of sight and enough height The ball passed by the player to himself is high and comfortable!
But the management of the Magic team dispelled the whims of Warcraft in the first place.

First, Zhou Lin is still on a rookie contract, with an annual salary of less than 500 million. Except for rookie players, the annual salary of 500 million is only comparable to the middle class. How much is Zhou Lin worth?
Second, even if Zhou Lin has already signed a maximum salary, the Charlotte Bobcats managed to cultivate an All-Star starting player, who is as strong as Warcraft himself, and he failed to become an All-Star player in the third year of his career. A star starter, and the last player who could become an All-Star starter in the third year was LeBron James, the No. 03 pick of the Platinum Generation in [-].

What's more, there is a huge Chinese market behind Zhou Lin.

Whether it's improving the team's combat power, selling tickets, or the market, it has a great effect. Today's Bobcats, which have only entered the league for five years, can get so much exposure in the NBA, and Zhou Lin It can even be said that without Zhou Lin, the attention of the Charlotte Bobcats would be at least 8% less!
It can be said that as long as the Charlotte Bobcats are willing to put Zhou Lin on the shelves, the remaining 29 teams in the league will spare no effort to snatch it. You can pick any potential players who match the value, even if you bring players with rubbish contracts. Come here; number one lottery?The second pick?As long as you give me Zhou Lin, I can sell it!
If it is said that Zhou Lin still has the risk of being sold by the team in the first and second years of his career, but if the Bobcats are willing to sell Zhou Lin now, it means that Jordan was kidnapped by aliens.

And Howard, as a non-sale item of the Magic team, is naturally impossible to be traded to the Bobcats, so at least within three years, the possibility of Zhou Lin and Howard joining forces is close to zero!
"Dwight, stop texting or calling me for a while."

Zhou Lin looked at the monster after eating and drinking, and said, "Don't share with me the sexy and hot photos of your new girl."

Warcraft scratched his head and said, "Why?"

Zhou Lin spread his hands and said, "Because we are enemies before the Eastern Conference."

Seeing the surprised look of Warcraft, Zhou Lin said: "Because I will use all means to defeat you, even despicable means, because I don't want to lose either."

There are many people in the NBA who have very broad friendships, such as the Banana Boat Brothers, but Zhou Lin doesn’t like it, because he thinks a game should be a game, and no matter who you meet, it should be like fighting on a battlefield Like the fighters in the army, no mercy is allowed.

And Warcraft Howard's character is the kind of carefree big boy, and the age difference between the two is only 15 months, but Zhou Lin's mentality is undoubtedly more mature than Howard. He makes friends, he is funny, no one will hate him as a friend, and at this stage, the desire for the victory of the game and the championship is not so strong, and he still loves to play with his age.

He and Durant have different personalities. Durant is the kind of player who has a better relationship with you on weekdays, and the more he wants to win you, the more serious the player is, so Zhou Lin never needs to go with Durant. Say something so serious.

"Wait until the Eastern Conference Finals game is completely over, and then restore the friendship!"

……

Like the Cleveland Cavaliers who were just eliminated by the Charlotte Bobcats in the last round, the Orlando Magic also eliminated the Charlotte Bobcats in the Eastern Conference semifinals, so like the previous round, this game, also Known as the Charlotte Bobcats' vengeance.

Unlike the playoffs of the previous two years, the Charlotte Bobcats, which reached the Eastern Conference finals this year, are well-organized. Unexpectedly, all players have remained healthy, and after eliminating the Cleveland Cavaliers in the last round, gambling The probability of winning the championship given by the website exceeds 23%, which is two percentage points higher than the 21% of the Orlando Magic, second only to the Los Angeles Lakers who have a 37% probability of winning. The Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference Finals, it turns out that Billups is more suitable for Anthony and the Denver Nuggets than Iverson.

In this round of the series, the Charlotte Bobcats are also the more optimistic side, with a support rate of 58%.

The Amway Center arena, which can accommodate 8000 people, is full of seats. Magic team legends Scott Skiles, Nick Anderson and Penny Hardaway all came to watch the game and cheer for the Magic team. Charlotte Although the Bobcats team has no ancestors, Yao Ming, the superstar of the Houston Rockets, came to support Zhou Lin today, which can be regarded as making up for it. Of course, there are at least 200 Chinese fans who came to Orlando today. Holding the red national flag together, they formed a unique Chinese viewing group, and there were even many Chinese or Chinese fans who could only look for the broadcast screen to watch the game in the activity center outside the arena because they could not buy tickets.

"Oh, thank you Yao for the picture. This year is a rare recovery period for Yao Ming. Come to support Zhou Lin and Ah Lian, the two little brothers. Yao Ming, it is also difficult. You see Zhou Lin has only been in the league for three years. We are on the floor of the Eastern Conference Finals. The competition in the Western Conference is too fierce, and there are also problems with the lineup. I hope that during the offseason, the Rockets can find a few reliable substitutes for Yao, otherwise the first round The curse still cannot be broken."

"Yes, as a core player, Yao Ming is not lucky enough, but there is still time for Dayao. With Dayao's strength, it will be a matter of time before he enters the next round. Teacher Qun, it can be seen that there is a chance for this game. A lot of Chinese fans, look...all came to support Zhou Lin and Ah Lian."

"Thanks to the fans, but also to the players for their hard work. Zhou Lin and Ah Lian, as well as Yao Ming, and Sun Yue in the Lakers, have made great efforts to enter the NBA. This is the same period in history. Players play in the NBA."

"Besides, Zhou Lin, Yi Jianlian, and Sun Yue are still playing games. We can even look forward to whether the Chinese derby will be formed in the finals if the Bobcats win the Magic and the Lakers win the Nuggets. Well, although Sun Yue basically has no chance in the Lakers, Zen Master should have a little human touch and let Sun Yue play in some not particularly important time periods."

"Is it garbage time? That should be possible. At present, Sun Yue, if he goes to a team other than the playoffs, he should have a lot of opportunities, but for those who are aiming for the championship The Lakers basically don't give rookies too much time to sharpen, but if it's garbage time, according to the rules of the world, if Sun Yue enters the active lineup, there should still be a chance to see three Chinese players compete on the field The situation, of course, first of all, the Bobcats should perform well today and strive to gain home court advantage!"

The game started soon, and the starting rosters of both sides were also announced quickly.

The Orlando Magic maintained their starting position in the previous round.

Ralph Alston, JJ Redick, Hedo Turkoglu, Dwight Howard.

The three main players have not changed, but the Magic's new backcourt combination, Ralph Alston and JJ Redick's starting lineup has changed a little.

As for the Bobcats, what was different from the previous round was that Zhou Lin had once again returned to the No. [-] position.

Ramon Sessions entered the starting lineup, while Raymond Felton was once again in the cold.

In fact, all fans or teammates know very well that Raymond Felton is already on the countdown to leaving the Charlotte Bobcats.

The backcourt partner, needless to say, is Brandon Roy.

This is the absolute advantage of the Charlotte Bobcats.

In addition, the inside partner is the twin towers of Emeka Okafor + Roy Hibbert, and the goal is to curb the performance of Warcraft.

Before the start of the countdown to the game, Zhou Lin and Warcraft Howard just lightly bumped their fists and said nothing more.

Because from this moment on, the friendship between the two will be temporarily frozen!
At this moment, the two are opponents on the battlefield!
