This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 359 Zhou Lin's Foul Crisis

Although Derrick Rose scored 30+ points in a row at the Time Warner Center, his three-point shooting percentage was only a dismal 16.6%, and he only made 6 of 1 shots. The Charlotte Bobcats Bobcats chose to let go of his outside shot without any surprise, and in this game, Derrick Rose hit a three-pointer on the outside in the first attempt, which undoubtedly strengthened the Charlotte Bobcats. Defensive difficulty, and may even change the way the Charlotte Bobcats defend.

The Bobcats still want to catch David Lee to beat rookie Ty Gibson, but Gibson, who has suffered a lot, is very tough this time. When David Lee turned around and shot, he occupied an excellent defensive position, forcing David Lee to pass the ball out. Ty Gibson could firmly occupy the starting position of the Chicago Bulls in his first NBA season. Relying on defense, in addition to good defensive talent, there is almost nothing to choose from personal defensive attitude and willingness.

Gibson forced David Lee to pass the ball, and then Hinrich directly judged the path of the pass, rubbed his hand, and changed the trajectory of the ball. Luol Deng slammed the ball into his arms. When there was no time to return to the defense, they directly launched a fast break. The replays of Kyle Lowry and Brandon Roy were already late. In the three-on-two situation in the frontcourt, Hinrich finally got the ball. Complete layup.

After the Chicago Bulls returned home, they dared to make moves more than they did on the road, especially on the defensive end.

On Zhou Lin's side, he still hasn't regained the damn touch. After missing a shot, he got the rebound and made another shot, but still nothing. Luol Deng's side is also a bit reluctant to let go. After Zhou Lin missed two consecutive shots, he also shook his head helplessly. Players are also very helpless when they encounter this situation, not to mention that this is only the second game of Zhou Lin's comeback.

Joakim Noah has a much higher IQ than Roy Hibbert, and he seems to be able to handle Nagro's system with ease. The position after the pick-and-roll is very clear, and Hinrich puts the ball in his hands , An easy throw to score points, although Noah's shooting is weird, but his basic skills are still very solid, scoring methods such as big hook throws are also considered skilled.

Hibbert is a little bulky, not fast, and slow. Hibbert is not afraid of the kind of violent jumper, nor is he afraid of the kind of guy who takes the ball and directly fights towards the basket. He is afraid of this kind of left hook and right hook. Hands, or an interior big man who can shoot from the mid-range.

After Joakim Noah entered the playoffs, his performance has undoubtedly improved to a higher level than the regular season.

In his third year, he is now not for sale of the Chicago Bulls, and he is almost certain to get an early contract extension this summer.

The Bulls sit at home and look particularly excited, both offensively and defensively.

For the Charlotte Bobcats, except for Zhou Lin's bad touch, everyone else's touch is very average. In the opening 5 minutes, only David Lee scored four points in the opening game. Two free throws from Kyle Lowry's side.

With a 14-6 start, Larry Brown called a timeout with an unhappy face.

"Run up and attack the opponent's inside line. We need to better grasp the timing and technique of passing the ball, and stop making low-level mistakes."

Larry Brown pointed to the slightly glaring 4 turnovers on the data sheet he found from the assistant coach, and almost roared: "If you really don't want to play, some people want to play, see those Is there a longing look in your eyes? How many people envy your work, I mean, guys, you should have a little sense of urgency instead of passively changing!"

Yi Jianlian replaced Roy Hibbert, who always looked slow in the lineup defending the Chicago Bulls, allowing Joakim Noah to score one on the other.

Back on the field, Zhou Lin started to attack with the ball. Zhou Lin used to catch and shoot or pass the ball. Zhou Lin also wanted to stimulate the enthusiasm of his teammates and the feeling of the game, but the situation could not be opened for a long time. And Zhou Lin really needs to dribble to find his own rhythm.

Zhou Lin still has a great advantage here. In the last game, Zhou Lin shot so badly in three-pointers, but relying on repeated kills and breakthroughs at the basket, he still scored nearly 40 points. Zhou Lin's indiscriminate singles ability , and is indeed the most unique in this game. After getting the ball, he went to the basket and made a layup with his left hand.

"Zhou Lin still wants to play with the ball more. Although Zhou Lin has some panacea-like attributes, during the game, the star must have the ball to find the touch."

"Zhou Lin is a very selfless player. Sometimes it's not good to be too selfless. He thinks of his teammates in everything. On the contrary, some American media will think that it is a lack of responsibility."

Su Qun and Yang Yi were also constantly discussing Zhou Lin's performance.

Zhou Lin started to play with the ball, and the effect was immediate. After all, there was no breakthrough, no passing to attract changes in the opponent's defensive formation, and it was useless in positional warfare.

Once Zhou Lin let go of the fight, for the opponent, it is a gap that must be plugged. In order to plug Zhou Lin's gap, he must let go of some other players. The defense proved to be a failure. Although Zhou Lin's shooting percentage from the outside was so low, and Gibson's side continued to come out to make up, Zhou Lin's side directly hit the ground and passed the ball to David Lee, who is David Lee? Also, the inside offensive skills are very mature, but it's not Hayes and his ilk, who have almost no threat to leave the basket.

David Lee made a long throw after receiving the ball, and then helped the Bobcats get 2 points.

The Bobcats have found a way to deal with their opponents. Once Zhou Lin shines his sword, the opponent's defense will be shaken. It just so happens that Zhou Lin is a high-quality passer. He is also the only one who can enter the assist list as a non-guard with James. The existence of the top ten, 7.8 assists is also the best assist data of the Bobcats.

It is beyond Zhou Lin's control whether he can make the shot or not.

Nagro naturally knows that Zhou Lin has the ability to pass the ball, but compared to letting Zhou Lin play through, he is more willing to give the opportunity to other players of the Bobcats, because first, the attack of other players of the Bobcats The ability is not as good as that of Zhou Lin. Secondly, Zhou Lin has just come back, and Nagro just doesn't want Zhou Lin to get better, but just wants Zhou Lin to play awkwardly.

In fact, this is also a means, similar to a game.

When both sides cannot be completely controlled, it is the best choice to choose to suppress one of them. Otherwise, if you want to control Zhou Lin and want Luo Er Deng Dan to defend, there will be some feeling of neglecting the other.

Then, Zhou Lin also encountered a little trouble in the first quarter. He was uncomfortable being double-teamed by the Bulls. He shot 5 of 1 shots and received his first two fouls. After all, this is the home court of the Chicago Bulls. Some ambiguities are optional. The referees will be more inclined to the Chicago Bulls. It is a default unspoken rule.

However, Zhou Lin showed his ability to pass the ball once, sending out four assists in the first quarter.

For the Charlotte Bobcats, although Zhou Lin was suppressed, Zhou Lin activated other players, especially David Lee. He was promoted to the starting lineup and scored 11 points in the first quarter. The highest score in the game.

29-25, the Bobcats took the lead in the first quarter.

At 8 minutes and 34 seconds of the second quarter, Zhou Lin was replaced again. The Chicago Bulls still carried out the previous defensive posture, choosing to suppress Zhou Lin and give other players a chance. The side is also looking at how to solve Zhou Lin's problem.

If Zhou Lin's hidden danger can be completely eliminated, then let Zhou Lin stay on the sidelines honestly.

After all, Zhou Lin sent out two more assists and scored another 2 points.

But at 5 minutes and 56 seconds, Zhou Lin made an attack and bumped into Joakim Noah, and was whistled for an offensive foul by the referee.

Larry Brown was furious here, shouting loudly for the referee to take another look, and it can be seen through slow playback that Joakim Noah did not completely stand still when he blocked Zhou Lin's path to make a foul, but The referee still chose to uphold the original verdict.

There was cheers at the scene, and Su Qun smiled awkwardly and said: "In any game, there will be problems with whistleblowing standards, and there will also be some small deviations. Of course, Joakim Noah's position selection just now is indeed a bit bad, and It's a bit of an act, but it's the United Center and Joakim Noah is doing a good job."

Yang Yi said: "Today, the Chicago Bulls are all focused on suppressing Zhou Lin. For now, they are halfway done. Zhou Lin commits three crimes. This is definitely going to happen. There are still about 6 minutes left." , Once there is another foul in these 6 minutes, Zhou Lin is bound to be more timid in the second half. That is to say, Zhou Lin's time in the first half will stop now. Some problems in qualifying are inevitable.”

Naturally, Larry Brown would not allow Zhou Lin to stay on the court. Luke Mbah a Moute replaced Zhou Lin, and the Bobcats changed their lineup again, and David Lee reappeared.

With Zhou Lin's move, the Bobcats were indeed in a lot of chaos. David Lee wanted to attack again, but the Bulls, who didn't need to be timid, also completed several successful defenses.

And Zhu Holiday also came up to play for a few minutes, but in the process of Holiday's first playoffs as a rookie, his performance was really difficult to catch Larry Brown's eyes. Under the entanglement of the style, there were two mistakes in a row, and under the premise that the main force was finally sluggish due to the seven-man rotation in the previous game, Nagro used Ronald Murray and Hakeem Warrick in this game. , plus James. Johnson and Brad. Miller, nine rotations in the first half, the cycle of the Chicago Bulls will undoubtedly become more benign.

And in this game, Warrick was considered a surprise player, scoring consecutive inside shots.

The right-hand man next to Anthony at Syracuse University in the championship year, after entering the NBA, he is regarded as a well-regulated player. This season, he came to the Bulls from the Bucks as a bargaining chip for Salmons. The team is called the team's leading scorer, probably bleeding, but Warrick averaged 8.7 points and 3.6 rebounds per game, which is not too bad, and he is more physically fit than Gibson on the court, after all. This is also a player in the 04 draft, and he also played a playoff game with the Grizzlies before.

As a role player, Warrick is still very active. One of the offensive rebounds grabbed two plus one, which even made the United Center fans cheer for him.

The Bobcats once fell behind to double-digit scores. After being hit by an opponent with an 11-3 climax, however, Brandon Roy, who had been silent for a long time, finally broke out.

I don't know why, after Zhou Lin came back, Brandon Roy played a little uncomfortable, maybe it was because he was the team's first choice for nearly three months before. In the first game, Roy struggled a bit and only scored 17 points. In most of the first half of the game, Roy's shots were terrible. With Lowry in the lineup, Roy didn't have much time to hold the ball. Most of the time was the end point of the offense, and the way of playing without the ball made Brandon Roy seem a little at a loss.

Previously, the chemistry between Brandon Roy and Zhou Lin was actually good. Of course, this was also Zhou Lin's self-sacrifice. In these few games, Larry Brown has always emphasized that Zhou Lin should be the first main attacker. , To give Zhou Lin a feeling, Roy basically doesn't have too many opportunities to get the ball by himself.

However, with Zhou Lin's foul crisis and other players' offensive touch really bad, Brandon Roy must carry the banner of offense.

Although Brandon Roy and Zhou Lin can join hands to become the All-Star starters, which is a bit of a tribute to the Chinese fans behind Zhou Lin, but Brandon Roy has gradually revealed the potential to become the boss of a team .

Brandon Roy's outbreak started with a 3+1.

After Roy made a 3+1 three-pointer, he also slapped his chest excitedly, as if to vent some unhappiness.

Or because of some emotional changes in mood.

An All-Star starter, being able to become the second offensive option in a team made Roy feel a little emotional, even if Zhou Lin repeatedly compromised with Roy's distribution of the ball and the position of the locker room. Hinrich's candy-style winding will feel uncomfortable for every player.

But when Roy exhaled this breath, his offense suddenly became smoother.

All kinds of unsolvable shots appeared frequently.

Under his leadership, the Bobcats played a wave of 2-25 in the last 11 minutes and 2 seconds. Taking this opportunity, the Bobcats finally overtook the score.

Halftime is over.

56-53, the Bobcats took the lead again.
