This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 318 BEAT.LA
Being able to return to Charlotte with a big score of 1-1, for Charlotte fans, the team's players are already strong enough. The only regret is that the team's starting center, Roy Hibbert The cruciate ligament is torn, and the torn cruciate ligament is a major injury for basketball players.

Hibbert completed the cruciate ligament surgery on the second day, and announced that he will be reimbursed for the season, and his injury is likely to affect the next season's game. It is conservatively estimated that Hibbert will need to spend more than 9 months Even for the sake of insurance, Hibbert is likely to be reimbursed directly next season. For Hibbert, the only advantage is that he is still young, the recovery effect will be slightly better, and he is at the beginning of his career. , he still has time to prove himself.

In fact, this is also a common problem of many heavy-duty insiders, such as Yao Ming, Oden, and even Embiid later. In an environment like the NBA, insiders need to gain weight in order to enhance confrontation. The burden on the ankle is too heavy for the knee. If the head coach does not control the playing time of these players well, injuries will be commonplace for them. From this point, it can be seen that O'Neal is really talented. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a player who comes out every few decades. God has blessed him with a strong body and amazing athletic ability. In addition, his endurance should be unique among heavyweight players of this level. , In the early and mid-term of his career, he really didn't encounter any injuries that could destroy his career.

For the Charlotte Bobcats, the lack of Hibbert's game in the last game has proved to be somewhat incapable.

As the team's fifth position, Emeka Okafor is a bit difficult to parry, and the Lakers' twin towers have been bombed repeatedly.

Therefore, it is imperative to activate Patrick O'Bryant, at least he needs to go up for about 10-15 minutes.

Luke Mbah a Moute and Zhou Lin can indeed play the 4th position, but one of them is not tall enough, and the other is a core player. It is impossible to spend so much energy on the defensive end. It is okay to deal with the general [-]th position, but the Lakers The fourth position is either Odom or Gasol.

And the Bobcats can't expect the 36-year-old Juwan Howard to fight it.

On June 6th, the Time Warner Center Arena welcomed the visiting Los Angeles Lakers.

The fans at the scene held the banner of BEAT.LA high, and they eagerly hoped that the team would slap the noble Zijin Legion hard.

Charlotte's home game tickets were also sold out because the opponent was the Los Angeles Lakers, but Zhou Lin still got some of the best tickets for Misha, mother, and sister, and Wang Hanxiang, high school coach Jim, And friend Blair.

Tonight, they all wore Zhou Lin's jerseys and came to the scene as Zhou Lin's exclusive group of relatives and friends.

It is worth mentioning that Blair, who graduated from senior year, will participate in this year's NBA draft. Of course, the possibility of being selected is very low. Blair, who has been teammates of Zhou Lin and Kevin Durant, after four years, has already Became the historical steals leader of George Mason University, as well as the top ten players in scoring and assists in history. In this NCAA season, although the team missed the crazy three again, Blair averaged 18.5 points, 7.8 rebounds and 2.2 steals per game. The member of the best team in the division where George Mason is located has also won the attention of some scouts, and he has also signed with Thomas Myers' management company. If he is not selected, there may be a team that will give him a The contract of the league is given to him, of course, the Charlotte Bobcats are the last possibility. After all, the NBA is also a league that talks about people and the world.

In this game, Charlotte's commentary became Su Qun and Duan Ran.

"In the last game, we saw the competitiveness of the Charlotte Bobcats. Although it is the first time for them to enter the finals, it is normal that they are not favored by others, but in fact this is the first time they have entered the Eastern Conference finals. , It’s not the same as easily pressing the Orlando Magic 4-1 to enter the finals, so in the NBA, anything can happen, and the game experience does not necessarily affect the progress of the game.”

"The Bobcats should also cherish the two games at home. In the playoffs, the Bobcats have only lost one game at home so far, which is G6 against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the second round of the Eastern Conference. The winning percentage is also terrifying. With one win and one loss, it can be said that the Bobcats are a team that is very good at playing home games."

"Of course, losing Roy Hibbert is also a potential crisis for the Bobcats."

"Now, let's see how Larry Brown turns decay into magic!"

"Okay, enough gossip, the game officially begins!"

For the Bobcats, the starting lineup was not unexpected: Raymond Felton, Brandon Roy, Zhou Lin, Emeka Okafor, Yi Jianlian.

For the Lakers, the starting lineup continued from the previous game: Derek Fisher, Kobe Bryant, Trevor Ariza, Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum.

For the away game Lakers, Pau Gasol helped the team get the first wave of the ball.

Gasol's high support, Derek. Fisher helped the Lakers get the first two points of the game by running the screen.

However, Brandon Roy, who returned to the home court, felt very good. Facing Kobe's defense, he used a series of dribble moves. After successfully shaking Kobe away, he hit a mid-range jumper!
"A good shot, Roy is very determined. He played against Kobe very deftly. It feels like a yellow-skinned Kobe and a black-skinned Kobe are on the same position."

"Roy, you need to stand up in this game. The Bobcats need to stand up with other scoring points except Zhou Lin, otherwise Zhou Lin will be constantly restricted. In fact, in the first two games with 1 win and 1 loss, Bu Landon Roy's performance is indeed lackluster, and I hope that Roy can regain some of his regular season status after returning to the home court."

Although Roy still averaged 17 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal in the two games, the data in the regular season is only slightly shrunk. For stars, this is also normal, but what is abnormal is that Roy Yi's three-pointers were only 10 of 3, and his total shooting percentage was less than 36%. The efficiency value has shrunk a lot compared to the regular season.

Of course, this is also because he is now facing the best second player in the league.

"This isn't Staples! I won't let you do what you want!"

And Roy, who returned to the home court, seemed to have regained his self-confidence. Facing Kobe's trash talk, Roy could respond with a smile.

On Kobe’s side, he was also inspired by Roy’s fighting spirit. Facing Roy’s response, Kobe’s side was more straightforward. The action of putting the basket up and down.

Kobe said in a deep voice: "This is still my time!"

The two even had some physical contact during the retreat and pushed each other. The referee saw this scene and called a double foul.

"Roy seems to be fighting against Kobe, which is also an interesting phenomenon, but now the Bobcats really need such a player to stand up to boost morale, but relying on Zhou Lin is not enough. "

Looking back, Roy directly passed Kobe with speed, rushed to the basket, and faced Gasol's defensive high throw.

Kobe didn't expect Roy to play so resolutely today.

"And it's the first time I've seen Roy face Kobe Bryant today in the series."

"Hey, good job bro, I'll keep feeding you balls, if you feel good, keep playing, don't care who's in front of you!"

Zhou Lin couldn't help but praise after Roy hit another difficult shot.

Zhou Lin is this kind of player, he will never fight for the ball, because Zhou Lin has already stood at a certain height, what he hopes more is the team's victory, even if it is his ball that is sacrificed It doesn't matter if he has the right to shoot, and he is also happy to see Roy's double-eye performance.

Roy felt really good today. Facing Kobe, he responded almost every round. Even Kobe, who was forced to win, finally gave up his personal battle, because it is now very clear that the Lakers' inside The advantage is great.

The defense of Yi Jianlian and Emeka Okafor today is very important. The two have gritted their teeth, and they must take good care of the basket. In the early part of the first quarter, when both sides are in good physical condition , Gasol and Bynum still took advantage of their height and weight at the basket, and they succeeded in attacking the basket consecutively.

And once stopped the Charlotte Bobcats.

However, the Bobcats quickly responded with a wave of smooth offensive and defensive transitions. Although Yi Jianlian felt a little hammered by Gasol at the basket today, Larry Brown did not go beyond the regular rotation to replace him. , and Yi Jianlian also used two high jump shots to show his effectiveness on the court. Zhou Lin, who only got 3 assists in the last game and was strictly cut off from his teammates by the Lakers, was also because of this game. The continuous explosion of players such as Yi and A Lian began to be liberated. In the first quarter of the game, Zhou Lin only made 2 shots, but sent 4 assists, completely incarnate as a pancake man.

The Bobcats also used a strong offense to cover up the lack of thickness in the defensive segment.

At the end of the first quarter, the Bobcats scored the most points in a single game in the series, scoring 37 points, leading the Lakers with 30 points to end the first quarter by 7 points.

And Brandon Roy, who played for 12 minutes, scored 12 points and 2 assists, and his shooting percentage reached a terrifying 7 of 5, and he was still facing Kobe's situation. Therefore, Larry Brown's side will be Zhou Lin and Roy's playing time was changed. Zhou Lin came down to rest first. Zhou Lin only played 9 and a half minutes in the first quarter, scoring 3 points, 4 assists, 2 rebounds and 1 steal.

At the same time, Yi Jianlian also played the first quarter, and he also scored 5 points and 3 rebounds.

Zhou Lin’s playing time has been switched with Roy’s. Today Zhou Lin played with a substitute. In fact, the effect of this change is really good. Zhou Lin leads the team in the second team, which happens to be the right pull-up With Mar Odom leading the team and Zhou Lin on the court, the Bobcats don't need to let Ramon Sessions play, and let Vaughn Weaver feel at ease as a fake point guard.

Zhou Lin's ball handling and the shooting ability of this lineup with Vaughn Weaver and Mike Dunleavy are as terrifying as they can be.

The only thing that makes Bobcats fans dissatisfied is that Patrick O'Bryant finally got time today. I don't know if he was nervous or just couldn't do it. Zhou Lin fed the ball to his mouth twice went, but O'Bryant failed to grasp it twice.

This player with a height of 2.13 meters and a wingspan of 2.28 meters has an outstanding static talent. Unfortunately, his skills are too rough, and ah, he seems to have a big frame, and he has not done a good job of gaining weight. task, so as a super blue-collar worker, O'Briant is also unqualified.

This is a player who is infinitely close to leaving the NBA. If Roy Hibbert couldn't play, he might never have the chance to be on the stage of the NBA Finals in his life. It's a pity that if you give you a chance, you won't win. Use it.

So, after that, Zhou Lin didn't give O'Briant the ball anymore. After all, if he was given the ball, it was either a buttery player, or he was blocked by the also blue-collar Congo center Mbenja. He was totally caught off guard when he appeared on the stage a feeling of.

This is forcing the Bobcats to play a big and four small lineup!
Fortunately, the Bobcats' touch still exists. After Dunleavy came off the bench, his efficiency actually went up. In the playoffs, he made 44% of his three-pointers, averaging 2.3 three-pointers per game. The efficiency value of the ball is completely at the thigh level, and with Zhou Lin in this lineup, Mike Dunleavy is incomparably more comfortable. After he made two three-pointers, the Bobcats also took the opportunity to widen the contrast to 14 points .

Even a Zen master can't do it now.

In less than 4 minutes, Zhou Lin led a substitute to play a 11-4!

At 8 minutes and 11 seconds, the Bobcats led the Lakers 48-34.

The Lakers also quickly began to adjust their starting lineup, and Kobe was the first to come back.

After Kobe came back, the mental attributes of the Lakers also seemed to have improved a little bit. On the defensive end, they continued to complete high-quality defense. After Lamar Odom held his breath for a few more rounds, he finally found an opportunity to bully Aubrey With one shot, Leant rushed directly into the inner line.

However, O'Bryant's time has also come. From the end of the first quarter to now, O'Bryant played for 6 minutes, only got a poor 2 rebounds and 2 turnovers, and when he was off the court, Odom The button is closed, I hope it will not leave any psychological shadow!

After Kobe's return, facing the strict defense of the Bobcats, he hit consecutive difficult three-pointers, which also forced the Bobcats to call a timeout.

At 5 minutes and 22 seconds, the Bobcats were 50-42, still holding an 8-point lead, and Brandon Roy played.

In this game, the Bobcats' best player has been placed on the field with a lot of hope.

"Roy is back, and the Bobcats have suffered too much at the second position."

But Roy's return was immediate. In the first round of his return, Roy faced Kobe, and after a pull back, he directly made a three-pointer from outside the three-point line!
"Oh Roy!"

Even the Chinese commentator has to say, Roy, today is really a supernatural performance.

Even Kobe seemed unable to guard against Roy.

"Hey, defense!"

On Roy's side, he yelled loudly for his teammates to return to the defense quickly, and on the defensive end, he became more and more daring to make moves, and the smell of gunpowder between him and Kobe became more and more intense.

At this moment, the Charlotte Bobcats are also under the production atmosphere of sound control on the scene, all shouting loudly: BEAT.LA!

On the next possession, Bynum's big ass knocked Brandon Roy down for a pick-and-roll layup.

An offensive foul whistled by the referee completely ignited Kobe's irritability, and directly yelled at the referee a swear word beginning with F. Even if you are the face of the league, the referee did not get used to Kobe. Kobe got a technical foul.

The fans at the scene were even more excited.

The slogan of BEAT.LA became more and more intense!

Although Roy's touch has cooled down a bit since then, the Bobcats have realized that Roy is in good form tonight and blindly give Roy the ball, and Roy's outside shooting feels good, which also gives him At the end of the second quarter, Roy went inside consecutively and won fouls!

This is also the second Bobcats player besides Zhou Lin who can get MVP shouts when he can make free throws at the free throw line.

Such a night, for Charlotte Bobcats fans, is happy.

Although before the end of the game, Fisher hit a three-pointer near the LOGO in the middle of the court, the Lakers still finished the first half 56-72 behind the Bobcats by a full 16 points.

The 72 points in the halftime of the playoffs is also the record of the Charlotte Bobcats. You must know that this is not in the small ball era many years later, and the scores in many games and even the whole game are only seven or eighty points.

The first to bear the brunt of this award is of course Brandon Roy tonight. He only scored 21 points in the last game. He scored 26 points in the half of this game, including three-pointers. It is a terrifying 4 of 4, and the hit rate reached a terrifying 14 of 9.

This is a night that belongs to Roy.

Even Bobcats star Zhou Lin, who scored 12 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds in the half, could only serve as a foil.

Kobe was also reduced to a foil. Kobe also scored 16 points in the halftime. Unfortunately, Kobe scored 16 points and took one more shot than Roy, and his shooting percentage was only 15 of 5.

Back in the locker room, both the head coach and teammates expressed their congratulations to Brandon Roy.

With 26 points in the half, and in the finals, he became No.1 in Bobcats team history, and it is likely that no one will break it for many years to come.

And Roy's calm personality was also revealed in the waiting room. If ordinary players performed like this, they would be jumping up and down excitedly. You must know that this is a milestone night, Brandon. Roy is creating an epic game.

But Roy was surprisingly calm.

"We have to win the game, nothing else matters!"

If this game cannot be won, I will feel sorry for Brandon Roy.

The second half of the game started soon.

It is conceivable that neither Kobe nor the Lakers can bear such a performance from their opponents, especially Kobe who is aggressive. He can't remember the last player who scored 26 points on him in the half, because the memory It's too far away, and the player who had such a performance in the finals was Iverson under Larry Brown. Iverson scored 48 points in the epic victory over the Lakers. 30 points in the half.

The Lakers will make adjustments, and Kobe will make adjustments.

Kobe will treat this young man with the spirit of 12 points.

The existence of Zhou Lin has always made players of many teams not value Brandon Roy so much. Zhou Lin's light is too dazzling, so too few people have noticed Roy's true strength.

"You can see the killing intent in Kobe's eyes!" Su Qun said with emotion.

This is of course an exaggerated statement, but Brandon Roy did anger Kobe.

At the beginning of the second half, Kobe began to use his methods to prove that he was still the stronger existence. After passing Roy in the low post, he directly dunked and abused the frame. This time, the 208cm Emeka was dunked. Okafor.

Of course, there is no shame in being Kobe's background board!
Roy is facing a very suffocating defense, but now the Bobcats are willing to believe this guy who is also yellow-skinned. Kobe wants to defend Roy, not only need to defeat Roy, but also Zhou Lin on one side Kobe was dissatisfied with Emeka Okafor and Yi Jianlian who kept coming out of the pick-and-roll, and even because the referee didn't blow Okafor's several strong confrontations.

If Gasol were not in the middle, Kobe might have been sent off for two technical fouls for spouting trash. In addition, he was not sent off because he was Kobe, not other players.

The players on the Lakers also began to block Roy's offense, but Roy was also jealous.

Even with heavy blockades, they still scored two mid-range shots at the beginning of the third quarter.

It seems that no one can stop Roy from going to the basket!

30 minutes also came quickly.

However, seeing the point difference getting bigger and bigger, and seeing the point difference close to 20 points, Kobe's rationality began to gradually rise. He began to refrain from attacking and restrain his emotions. Undoubtedly, the rational Kobe is stronger, because now he no longer needs to What to prove for his personal ability, what he needs is a brand new O'Brien Cup!
Paul Gasol is indeed a good partner. He may be the most suitable insider for Kobe in his career. His temper and style of play are very suitable for Kobe. When Kobe is about to lose his sanity and patience, plus It's time for Sol to stand up, especially after Lamar Odom replaced Andrew Bynum as a pseudo-substitute, Gasol sat in the low post, and his inside attack ability is stronger than the fans imagined Some.

The continuous low post made Emeka Okafor bear the third and fourth fouls. Okafor can only switch defenses with Yi Jianlian, and facing Yi Jianlian, Gasol played It is even more comfortable.

Not only did he score by himself, but his time-division shots also benefited Luke Walton and Kobe on the outside.

Also, at the moment when Roy felt the best, he gave Roy a big hat that covered the sky, which also made Roy's feel slightly cooler.

The Lakers also slowly narrowed the point difference at a speed of erosion in the next half quarter, so that they can still maintain their touch in the fourth quarter.

Roy was replaced at the interruption of the third quarter and took a rest for about 3 minutes, but after returning, Roy scored 5 points in a row and even hit the buzzer in the third quarter.

Even though the Lakers are controlling Roy's scoring, Roy still scored 9 points in the third quarter. His personal score has already set a new high of 35 points in the playoffs!
The Bobcats still lead the Los Angeles Lakers by 91 points 79-12.

"Scored 91 points in three quarters. I didn't expect the Bobcats to solve the defensive problem in this way."

Duan Ran's words can be regarded as half-truth and half-joking.

The Bobcats did not fully defend the Lakers. They scored 79 points in three quarters. It was still a high-level game. The Lakers' triangle offense, Gasol's unsolvable support and Kobe's constant attacks on the basket, the Bobcats Can't really solve it, but the Bobcats used another way to win the game, that is, get more points than you.

91 points in three quarters, averaging more than 30 points per game, which is a high-scoring game in today's league regular season, let alone a finals.

"A 12-point advantage is not safe. The Bobcats still need to make the victory more solid in the fourth quarter!"

Su Qun's words seemed to be a sign. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Lakers showed a better offensive state.

Kobe Bryant and Bynum contributed the first 7 points at the beginning of the fourth quarter. The Bobcats, who were feeling overwhelmed in the first three quarters, seemed to be in a cooling-off state at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Both Zhou Lin and Roy missed shots. Yes, a wave of 7-0, the point difference came to only 5 points.

This is also the second timeout called by Larry Brown in this game. Because the Bobcats are in such a good state in this game, it is enough for Larry Brown to wait for the opponent's timeout to arrange tactics. That's the problem with the Bobcats.

Bobcats hit too high today, whether it should be shot or should not be shot, all hits.

It can be said that the touch of the players in the first three quarters supported the game!

Now, the team's feel has decreased with the loss of physical strength and the adjustment of the opponent's defensive rhythm.

"There are still 8 minutes and 25 seconds left. We must keep the victory and not let Roy's efficient performance become an empty cut!"

Larry Brown said: "We need more players to start the offense."

"I see!"

Zhou Lin scored 14 points, 13 assists and 7 rebounds in this game, although he was silent, and 13 assists also broke the playoff record in personal and team history, thanks to Brandon . Roy and other teammates have a good offensive touch. Zhou Lin felt that the pass was an assist today.

Of course, Zhou Lin can no longer be invisible now, and now the Bobcats need Zhou Lin to stand up and score.

9 points in 14 shots, obviously not something a team boss should do!
After returning, the Bobcats completely used Roy as a cover. Roy's up-line holding the ball attracted enough attention, and then transferred the ball from the side. Zhou Lin didn't feel too much pressure at 45° , Go straight to the net with three points!

Zhou Lin made a three-pointer, which also resolved the team's scoring shortage!
94-86, the Bobcats stabilized the point difference.

The Bobcats' sudden pressure in the first round also caused the Lakers to fail to organize an effective offense immediately. Yi Jianlian is also constantly putting pressure on Gasol, and he is not sparing physical strength now. When the time comes, Gasol is forced to pass the ball to one side of Fisher, who can only make a hasty shot.

The three-pointer was very short, and Okafor was caught directly by the basket. The first moment he got the ball, he gave it to Roy on one side. Roy quickly dribbled the ball across the half court, looking like It was to settle down and play a position, but suddenly a fake fax rushed to the inside again, and went straight to the layup and hit the rebound.

96-86, the point difference came to double digits again!

"These young guys on the Lynx team are playing really well. Just now Zhou Lin just scored a three-pointer, and Roy used a breakthrough to score. For the Lakers who are now behind, they have the guts to press the gourd. I feel that the more blooming the Bobcats are, the harder it will be for the Lakers to defend."

"The Bobcats just don't give their opponents a chance to breathe, otherwise once the Lakers recover, the Bobcats will be passive."

The difficulty of this game is even more difficult than the Lakers prepared in advance. Under the premise that the opponent has lost a general, this game can actually push the Lakers to this point.

The sound of BEAT.LA carried through the entire stadium, no doubt the present audience has become the best sixth man of the Bobcats.

The Los Angeles Lakers were not able to quickly organize an effective offense. Gasol's high jumper and Bynum's status were hard-hitting, all of which were mercilessly rejected by the away basket.

The Bobcats played several waves of defensive counterattacks. Although the shooting effect was mediocre, they won a lot of free throws.

With the continuation of the game, at 2 minutes and 36 seconds, the Bobcats once again opened the point difference to 17 points.

Zen master Phil Jackson started to change players, because there is a high probability that he will not be able to win this game.

The Bobcats take Zhou Lin down first. After all, both Kobe and Gasol are down.

In fact, Zhou Lin scored 24 points, 15 assists and 8 rebounds in this game. He is very close to the first three-pointer in the personal finals, but Zhou Lin has no idea to break this scoring record. Larry Brown Instead, he kept Brandon Roy for a few more minutes.

Because Brandon Roy's first 40+ in the finals was only 1 point away, and Brandon Roy quickly scored 2 points on the Lakers players who had no intention of fighting.

Brandon Roy, who scored 41 points, was cheered by the fans like Zhou Lin when he was replaced.

Time passed quickly, and the end of the game sounded soon.

“山猫队拿球不打了，最终主场作战的山猫队以121-105，16分战胜了强大的洛杉矶湖人队，系列赛总比分来到了2-1，本场夏洛特山猫队的双子星表现无比优异，周林以12中7的命中率拿到了24分15助攻8篮板的准三双数据，而布兰登.罗伊本场比赛24投15中拿到了全场最高的41分，并且还有4助攻6篮板。”

山猫队这边还有奥卡福得到了14分9篮板，迈克.邓利维得到了13分6篮板，易建联得到总决赛里第一次得分上双12分8篮板1封盖。

On the Lakers side, Gasol scored a large double-double with 25 points and 17 rebounds. Kobe scored 31 of 10 and scored 34 points.
