This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 354 Lynx team, your king is back!
On May 5, the 17-2009 playoffs officially started. On the first day of the game, there were three games in the East and one game in the West.

The Cleveland Cavaliers ranked first in the East and the Toronto Raptors ranked eighth in the East.

The Orlando Magic ranked second in the East and the Milwaukee Bucks ranked seventh in the East.

The Charlotte Bobcats ranked third in the East and the Chicago Bulls ranked sixth in the East.

The Denver Nuggets, ranked fourth in the West, played away against the Phoenix Suns, ranked fifth in the West.

In the first day of the playoffs.

The Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Toronto Raptors 109-79 at home. LeBron James did not give Dragon King Chris Bosh any face. He scored 42 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists, leading the team to 20 points in the first half With the above leading advantages, the autumn wind swept away the leaves and won the game.

The seventh-ranked Milwaukee Bucks in the East created a lot of trouble for the Orlando Magic, which ranked second in the East. With 37 seconds left before the end of the game, they still led by 2 points. However, Vince Carter's The quasi-lore three-pointer saved the Orlando Magic. In the end, the Orlando Magic held the home court 98-95.

The game between the Denver Nuggets and the Phoenix Suns was a fierce battle in double overtime. In the end, the Denver Nuggets won the away game 128-124. Amare Stoudemire scored 38 points and 14 rebounds. Unfortunately, In the first overtime, six fouls left the field, leaving the Phoenix Suns empty inside and eventually lost.

The other two teams in the East also have deep roots.

The third-ranked owner of the Charlotte Bobcats, Michael Jordan is the supreme god of Chicago fans and a senior that countless Chicago players cannot avoid. In the first game of the playoffs, Jordan sits in Charlotte Time Warner Arena, but witnessed the team's disastrous defeat in a game.

105-116.

In the first game where Zhou Lin did not play, the Bobcats finally lost to the Chicago Bulls in Waterloo. Derrick Rose scored 39 points and 8 assists. The Phoenix Rose was almost unstoppable. The three organizations in Chicago None of the guards could stop Derrick Rose.

The young Chicago Bulls are much stronger than Bobcats imagined, and at the press conference after the game, Larry Brown also admitted this, although Brandon Roy, who was also present, also scored 32 points and 7 assists, but failed to lead the team to win the game. Of course, the most asked question is when the team's main core player Zhou Lin will return.

In fact, if the Bobcats can win a home court first, Zhou Lin will not return until G3 or even G4, but after this loss, Larry Brown answered very accurately.

"Yes, Zhou Lin will be right back!"

The Chicago Bulls are likely to be the most difficult team in the lower half of the Eastern Conference. For example, in last year's playoffs, the Boston Celtics, ranked second in the Eastern Conference, were almost overthrown by the seventh-ranked Chicago Bulls. It was only through the tie-break that they got through the danger. Of course, because of the seven fierce battles, the consumption was too high, and they fell under the iron horse of the Orlando Magic in this round.

In this year's playoffs, the Chicago Bulls are more competitive than last year. Both Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah are in their second season, whether it is the ability to read and control the game or the statistics All aspects have been improved to a certain extent, especially Derrick Rose, with a performance of 20.8 points and 7 assists, has been listed as the first choice of the Bulls.

The Bobcats' defensive ability this year is average, neither the height of the inside line nor the sense of oppression on the back line is particularly great, so it gave the Chicago Bulls a chance to win this game.

The first half of this year is not stable for Derby.

On May 5, the other four duels started.

The Miami Heat, the fifth in the East, gave the slightly old Boston Celtics a head-on blow at the North Shore Garden. Dwyane Wade's breakthrough shredded the Celtics' defense and scored 42 points and 8 rebounds. Dwyane Wade seems to have returned to the series against the Mavericks in the 2006 playoff finals. No one can stop the Flash's desire to hit the basket. In the end, 112-99, the Miami Heat won a big regained the home field advantage.

Today is the fall day of the upper half.

Even the Los Angeles Lakers were not spared.

In the home game against the San Antonio Spurs, Tony Parker became the biggest spoiler in the game. Under the watchful eyes of 27 Staples fans, he abused the weak No. 8 of the Los Angeles Lakers. Derek Fisher's defense is no different from paper in the eyes of Tony Parker. As long as Parker breaks through in disguise, Fisher will be gone. Shannon Brown and Jordan Farmar are also a little bit It doesn't match Parker's rhythm. As the youngest player in GDP, Tony Parker has become the leading scorer in the Spurs team this season. In this game, he scored 4 points, 3 assists and 0 rebounds, except for [-] of [-] three-pointers. Other than a few blemishes, I can't even pick out any faults.

98-90, GDP combined scored 59 points, leading the team to win the game, which is also a standard Spurs-style game victory. The Lakers need to make changes. There are no underdogs in the West. The Spurs are likely to give the defending champion Come to a black eight miracle.

On another venue, the Dallas Mavericks also lost at home.

97-110, 13 points lost to the visiting Oklahoma City Thunder.

The newly promoted scoring champion Kevin Durant scored a large double-double with 39 points and 11 rebounds in the first game. Sean Marion's defense was unsurprisingly pierced by Kevin Durant Yes, and Westbrook's impact, as well as inside Al Horford's guard.

Although there is no experience in the playoffs, once the young people play sharper, they really feel like they are haunted by thorns.

If the Dallas Mavericks are not careful, they may repeat the mistakes of the Black Eight that year and be beaten to death by the young and unlimited Thunder.

In the game on the 18th, the only team in the upper half to win was the Houston Rockets. Although they picked the Utah Jazz, their least favorite team and probably the most restrained team, they still held the home court , Yao Ming and Paul both proved themselves in this game. After playing 34 minutes, Yao Ming scored a game-high 33 points. He shot 17 of 12 from the field and made 11 of 9 free throws. The rebounds are completely crushing the Jazz's inside line. Of course, this is also due to the connection of Chris Paul. Although in this game, Chris Paul only scored 12 points and only made 12 shots. 14. When meeting Deron Williams, Chris Paul was indeed a little uncomfortable, but he played a high-energy performance in the organization, with a turnover ratio of 4 assists and 15 turnovers. In the round, Paul found Mike Dunleavy in the bottom corner and assisted him to make a 2-pointer, completely killing the game.

110-105, the Houston Rockets won a difficult victory at home.

5 month 19 day.

The Charlotte Bobcats continue to host the Chicago Bulls.

And two hours before the game, the media confirmed that Zhou Lin, who had been on a truce for nearly three months, was finally coming back, and according to the team's explanation, Zhou Lin's comeback was in a 100% healthy state. The Achilles tendon injury has not affected Zhou Lin's performance at all.

In this game, the Bobcats will have a real backbone.

With this news, the game between the Charlotte Bobcats and the Chicago Bulls has attracted more attention.

Duan Ran, a media person sent by the Chinese media to Charlotte, also interviewed Zhou Lin before the game.

"From February 2 to today, I have rested for about 21 months. In fact, I might return at the end of the regular season, but for the playoffs, I postponed my comeback time. Now I have It's 3% recovered."

"Although this game may be a bit difficult, I believe that it should not be difficult for the Bobcats to win the game."

Zhou Lin expressed confidence in his words.

Including the Chinese live broadcast footage, as well as the media footage from the United States, they all shot to the Achilles tendon of his right leg from time to time. This was also the first time in Zhou Lin's career that he encountered an injury that required a truce for dozens of games.

"From Zhou Lin's body shape and shooting touch, we can't tell that he is coming back for the first time after missing more than 20 games. However, this needs to be verified in the game, and we hope that Zhou Lin will play better. "

In the appearance ceremony of the Bobcats, Zhou Lin was still arranged to be the last one to appear on the field. When Zhou Lin stepped into the ranks of the team with firm steps, the audience burst into thunderous applause.

"Yes, Charlotte Bobcats, your king...is back!"

The commentator on the scene also praised Zhou Lin without hesitation. With Zhou Lin and without Zhou Lin, it is not the same Bobcats team.

Even the fans of the visiting team also paid attention to Zhou Lin.

It can be said that Zhou Lin is an absolute superstar in this game.

Larry Brown definitely had no intention of letting Zhou Lin start from the bench, and directly mentioned the starting lineup.

The starter here for the Bobcats.

Number one: Kyle Lowry.

No. [-]: Brandon Roy.

Number three: Zhou Lin.

Number four: Yi Jianlian.

Fifth position: Roy Hibbert.

And the Chicago Bulls.

Number one: Derrick Rose.

Number two: Kirk Hinrich.

Number three: Luol Deng.

Number four: Taj Gibson.

Fifth position: Joakim Noah.

The Chicago Bulls are also young players. Except for Hinrich, the high-quality point guard of the 03 platinum generation, who is slightly older, the other players are all born after 85. Many of them are under 25 years old. Gibson is a rookie this year.

But the combat effectiveness of this team should not be underestimated.

"1, 2, 3, come on, Charlotte Bobcats!"

Everyone gathered together and dispersed after shouting slogans.

The game officially begins!
Yi Jianlian and Noah, as the two big insiders in 2007, have the opportunity to compete again.

上一场比赛里，易建联7分+11篮板的数据，略微有些逊色于乔金.诺阿8分12篮板5次助攻的数据。

Relying on his longer arm, Noah helped the Chicago Bulls get the first wave of possession.

The Chicago Bulls adopted a double point guard style of Derrick Rose and Hinrich, because both Derrick Rose and Hinrich are worthy of a starting qualification.

Therefore, we can only let the 193cm Hinrich play the second position, and Hinrich's defense is still good. Although his physical fitness is average, he has the same characteristics as sticky candy. Against Brandon Roy , Although he is a bit inferior, the current Bulls can only let him play the second position.

In fact, they originally had swingman John Salmons. The Bulls traded him to the Bucks for Joe Alexander and Hakeem Warrick. The deal was not perfect. The former was in the Bucks. Fulfilling the duties of the firefighters very well, and also became the thigh of the Bucks, averaging close to 20 points per game. He was the leading scorer of the Bucks team. On the other hand, the performance of the two players who were traded can only be said to be unsatisfactory .

The Bulls are very concerned about giving Derrick Rose a chance to play singles. In the last game, Felton, the starter of the Bobcats, was passed by Derrick Rose like a street in the early morning. After all, Felton's increasing weight also slowed him down a lot. Felton was almost like a cash machine when he encountered a guard like Derek Rose who didn't step on the brakes in disguise. Among the other two on the active list, Jrue Holiday still appears to be inexperienced. His defensive effect is slightly better than Felton's, but his organization and shooting on the court are too bad. Stephen Marbury was not included in the 12-man roster. In fact, Kyle Lowry didn’t have many ways to face a healthy Derek Rose. His defensive effect was similar to Holiday’s, but his organizational skills were better than Holiday’s. Le Di has a large body, he is the tallest among the dwarfs.

Kyle Lowry is also trying to give Derrick Rose physical contact, making it more difficult for him to catch the ball. Once Rose rushes up with the ball, it will be a bit difficult to parry.

After the defeat in G1, the players knew it well.

However, the Bulls have a lot of back screens and one-block screens. Both Noah and Gibson are creating offensive opportunities for Rose. Derrick Rose still got the ball. It's time to start.

Zhou Lin from the flank came up to help defend and put some pressure on Rose. Rose didn't make a strong move. When he got to the basket, he was still inch tall and inch strong after all.

Then it was given to Gibson who followed up.

Gibson's intention here is to separate Zhou Linkou, who doesn't seem to be recovering.

But Zhou Lin's bullet speed was much faster than Gibson imagined.

At the moment when Gibson was about to dunk, Zhou Lin sternly rejected him from the frame!

"Zhou Lin, you blocked Gibson's dunk by Zhou Lin. It seems that Zhou Lin's Achilles tendon in his right leg has no major problem. Dare to jump like this, it proves that he is almost 100% recovered!"
