This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 321 Bite
Kobe has always been an outlier. It can only be said that Kobe's willpower is too tenacious, and even allows Kobe to break through the limits of his body to do something. After returning to the court, the Zijin Army did not immediately reverse the momentum. At this stage, It was the time when Kobe was alone against the youngsters of the Charlotte Bobcats. The Bobcats also ruthlessly used double-team tactics. For Kobe's strong attack, when the opponent's inside strong point was not present, There is no hesitation on the Bobcats side.

And when Kobe was double-teamed, in the Lakers' second team, there were indeed very limited players who could provide an effective supply. Kobe even anxiously shouted at Vujacic, who was hesitant to shoot, telling him to shoot when he should.

As for the offense of the Bobcats, it is completely blooming, and even opened the point difference to double digits at one point, but the veteran players also showed value at this time. The old fish Fisher in the middle of the second quarter, Received two passes from Kobe Bryant in a row, one at the right corner and one at 45 degrees to the left. Two three-pointers hit the nail on the head and sent the Bobcats to a timeout.

At 5 minutes and 28 seconds into the second quarter, 42-37, although the Bobcats still led by 5 points, Larry Brown called a timeout again because he saw that the Lakers might start.

"Old fish, now, the Lakers are at this juncture, when players like Trevor Ariza, Vujacic, and Farmar are starting to miss, Lao Yu stepped forward. This is why the Lakers took Fisher from Salt Lake The reason why the city brought back Los Angeles again was that he had to do this. If it weren't for the two three-pointers of the old fisher Fisher just now, it might be possible. If the starter is replaced again, the point difference will be widened to double digits, but this The two three-pointers came and went, directly reducing the point difference to 5 points again, and Fisher also used his key score to help the team through what may be the most difficult moment in Tianwang Mountain."

In fact, in the first four games of the finals, Derek Fisher was almost overwhelmed by the young back Raymond Felton, averaging 7.2 points, 3.2 assists, 0.9 steals and 2.7 turnovers per game. The field goal percentage is only 16%. As the starting point guard of the finals-level team, it is obviously unqualified. Zen Master also reduced Fisher's playing time to an average of 25.2 minutes per game, and his substitute Jordan Farmer The time also reached 21.7 minutes. Fisher can only be regarded as a false starter. This is also Zen Master's last resort. The speed and reaction that have been lost have made Lao Yu a weak link on the defensive end of the Lakers. became the object of criticism from the Bobcats, but as a frequent visitor to the finals and playoffs, Lao Yu even played more playoffs than Kobe, and experienced many big scenes, and the so-called games Experience is also fully revealed at this stage.

In Yang Yi's words, these two three-pointers are as precious as gold. Those two three-pointers made by Fisher are the key goals of this game, and this game is also very important. Could be the turning point in this round of the series.

If the Lakers can win this game, it is very likely that they will go to Charlotte to win the throne. Once the Bobcats get the match point and the Bobcats return to the home court, there is a high probability that they will win this game , becoming the new king of the alliance.

And after Larry Brown's timeout, Paul Gasol from the Lakers came back. Gasol, who has a singles advantage, will become another player besides Kobe who can play tough. Once he comes back, Kobe The burden is much lighter. After all, Gasol is a 216cm inside player, so Zen Master can't expect Gasol to have the desire to play full game time like Kobe.

Of course, the state of the Bobcats in this game is slightly different from the state in which they knocked down the Lakers in the third game and lost the Lakers in the fourth game. For the Bobcats, the finals are also a learning process, especially for Ronaldo Yi, Yi Jianlian, Okafor and other players, they are facing the top players in the league, and there is a certain gap between them. How to adjust the rhythm and how to adjust the mentality has also become the finals. This is something that Bobcats players have to accomplish, but in Game 5, this Tianwang Mountain, Zhou Lin feels that they have adjusted.

No more high-strung excitement, no worry or hesitation about being caught up or falling behind.

Now it is a normal heart to deal with.

And after Roy failed to score against Kobe in the first quarter, he finally regained his feeling in the second quarter. Facing Kobe's pressing step by step, Roy caught Kobe on the At a critical moment of grabbing, speeding past Kobe, facing the Lakers' Pau Gasol, Roy used a backhand layup to complete the rhythm of one penetration and three, and scored 2+1!

"Oh, Roy, finally passed Kobe clean, rushed to the basket and scored 2+1!"

Roy, who has never had too many violent expressions, also slapped Staples' basket sponge hard to vent his inner emotions. Facing the suffocating Kobe, Roy was too stressed. Big, and this is one thing he must do on the way to catch Kobe.

Steady penalty hit!
And Roy also seemed to break his demons from this goal, and then at the end of the second quarter of the game, he hit a three-pointer at the buzzer of the round.

With Roy's feeling warmer, Bobcats 56-49 in the first half, leading the Los Angeles Lakers at home by 7 points.

It is worth mentioning that all the starting players of the Bobcats scored more than 5 points in the first half, among which Zhou Lin scored 11 points, Roy scored 7 points, Yi Jianlian scored 5 points, Emeka Oka Fu 6 points, Raymond. Felton scored 8 points.

The bobcats, which are more blooming, are running extremely smoothly, which once made the on-site commentary highly appreciated.

After halftime, both sides returned to the starting lineup.

The Lakers began to put pressure on the defensive end in the third quarter. The Bobcats first made two mistakes on the offensive end. Once, Felton was directly covered by Kobe and Fisher in the half, and stepped on the sideline. The other time was when Zhou Lin was fouled by Ariza, and both times, the Lakers scored counterattack points.

Paul Gasol's continuous inside attack made the Bobcats have to shrink the basket, Gasol's continuous passing, Kobe Bryant also showed his true colors, he made two consecutive shots, one three-pointer, one three-point line The middle distance of one step.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Lakers played a wave of 10-2, directly stopping the Bobcats.

"This is the scariest thing about the Lakers at the moment. The inside and outside are too balanced. Gasol's coming to the Lakers completely liberated Kobe, especially on the Bobcats. There is really no player who can match Gasol."

"Why did the Celtics beat the Lakers last year? In the final analysis, the Lakers were right on the defensive end. It can be said that every position can be right. Ray Allen was against Kobe, and Garnett on the inside blocked Gaso Well, there is not much need to double-team inside and outside the line, at least not to completely double-team, and for the Bobcats, Roy is still a little immature. He has performed well enough against Kobe, but against the The second shooting guard in history, Roy is still completely at a disadvantage, not to mention the inside, once Roy Hibbert is injured, Gasol and Bynum stop there, and the Bobcats' defense will have problems Well, in fact, the Bobcats have been hesitating whether to play inside or outside, because Kobe's touch is actually good. In the first four games, 31% of the three-pointers were not killing people, so the Bobcats The side is more about shrinking the basket, but if the Bobcats give Kobe a chance like this, Kobe will not miss it."

Yang Yi still expressed his full concern for the Bobcats. Now the Bobcats are like a quilt that is a bit shorter on the defensive end. Covering the head cannot cover the feet, and covering the feet cannot cover the head.

"The only variable now is Zhou Lin!"

"Stop making wedding dresses for others, Zhou Lin, it's time to do it yourself!"

The Bobcats already need Zhou Lin's scoring. Since they can't completely defend, they must play the most efficient offense.

And Zhou Lin also sensed that the limelight was wrong, and finally started to exert his strength in the middle of the third quarter. He first faced Ariza's strict defense, and after stopping the ball, squeezed the latter's difficult mid-range shot and succeeded. After receiving a pass from Felton again, he scored in the middle and went straight to Huanglong.

After Zhou Lin realizes this point, the Bobcats will play better, and in this game, the other Bobcats players did not stretch as much as in the previous game. At the end of the third quarter, Roy used the cover twice to catch and shoot, and firmly entered the frame, allowing the Bobcats to completely stabilize their position!

And Yi Jianlian's three-pointer at the end of the third quarter also allowed the team to enter the final quarter of the game with a one-point advantage.

81-80!

"Today Zhou Lin is not going to take a break for a minute!"

Zhou Lin and Roy are the only two Bobcats players who played 36 minutes. Yi Jianlian also played 34 minutes. Okafor also played 33 minutes. That is to say, in this game, Larry Brown basically only played 7 minutes. However, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Larry Brown let Roy go down to rest for a while, and during the rest time, the medical staff of the Bobcats appeared in the camera.

"What's going on? Could it be an injury?"

"If Roy gets injured...it should just be a cramp. After all, he played three consecutive quarters without resting for a minute!"

The appearance of the Bobcats team's medical team also surprised Yang Yi slightly. He is now very worried that there will be problems with the Bobcats, especially Roy. If Roy is injured, this game will basically be impossible to play, but he has cramps. This matter can be big or small, and Larry Brown should also strictly control Roy's appearance time.

"Now, it's time for Mike Dunleavy, the most accurate player of the Bobcats, to show off!"

In this game, neither Vaughn Weaver nor Patrick O'Bryant got playing time, and the only substitute players who played were Mike Dunleavy and James Posey.

In the fourth quarter, Larry Brown didn't dare to send players who hadn't played, but now that Roy is here, the Bobcats' best scoring point besides Zhou Lin is Mike Dunleavy!

Larry Brown also obviously arranged tactics for Mike Dunleavy. Mike Dunleavy also got three shots. Unfortunately, Mike Dunleavy failed to fire at this critical time!
As for the Lakers, two false substitutes, Jordan Farmar and Lamar Odom, jointly contributed 7 points during the few minutes of Kobe's rest, helping the team to take the lead in the fourth quarter.

"Now it's troublesome!"

Yang Yi already had a very bad premonition.

"The opportunity for the Bobcats is at this critical moment when the Lakers' internal and external dual-core are not on the court. Now Kobe and Gasol are not here, but the Bobcats have failed to widen the point difference. Instead, they let the Lakers. At the same time, the point difference was overtaken."

Larry Brown didn't call for a timeout, because the meaning of the timeout is really meaningless. Now his team's lineup is better than his opponent's. If they can't beat them like this, then there is really nothing to say.

Zhou Lin responded immediately. He first singled out Lamar Odom and succeeded in layup with a throw from the bottom corner. Then he made another one in the same position with an archery posture on horseback. In the same position, facing double teams, an underarm pass was passed to Okafor on the other side, and he dunked!

With the increase in the number of active attacks by Zhou Lin, the Bobcats' offense is alive. However, playing like this is not a good signal for the Bobcats.

With 7 minutes and 46 seconds left in the game, the Bobcats replaced Mike Dunleavy with Brandon Roy and Yi Jianlian.

Enter the decisive moment of Tianwang Mountain in advance.

On the other side, Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol also replaced Luke Walton and Andrew Bynum.

Now the Lakers are 94-92, leading the Bobcats by 2 points.

"It's okay!" Zhou Lin patted Roy's shoulder and said.

"It's okay, I can persevere!"

Brandon Roy gave Zhou Lin an OK look.

The players on both sides are now expressionless and solemn, but there seems to be 'killing' intent flowing from their eyes.

In the first round back on the court, the Lakers played a high-low combination. Lamar Odom cut to the basket and hit first.

Although Odom is the starter, he will basically stay on the court at the end of the Lakers. He plays the [-]th position and Gasol plays the [-]th position. This is also the best offensive lineup of the Lakers.

96-92, the Lakers continued to expand the point difference.

Now the pressure has come to the Bobcats, the Lakers, Ariza and Odom have formed a double-team linkage, and they have a strong pressure on Zhou Lin who is holding the ball.

Zhou Lin gave it to Felton, and Felton missed a three-pointer, but Okafor got a key rebound. Roy was one step away from the three-point line, and suddenly shot a sniper!

"Brandon Roy, super long three-pointer!"

"Have it!"

"This shot is really confident!"

Zhou Lin took the initiative to bump shoulders with Roy!
Charlotte's twin stars have already scored 20+ points in this game!

This goal made the fans in China excited. Roy's scoring also reached 20 points with this goal. This also broke Kobe's statement that he should limit his scoring to less than 20 points. Of course, In the last game, Kobe did it.

96-95!

The Bobcats and the Lakers are biting hard here.

The game also ushered in the climax of this round of the series!
