This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 366 Fight Magic Again!

Soon, the league issued penalties for Kyle Lowry, Chuck Hayes and Tai Gibson.

Kyle Lowry was suspended for 2 games and fined $2.5, Chuck Hayes was suspended for 1 game and fined $2, Taj Gibson was suspended for 2 games and fined $2.5. In this conflict, the league played [-] big boards each, but for the Charlotte Bobcats, it is undoubtedly more unfavorable. Let alone the fine, just the suspension, because the suspension system is effective immediately, that is to say, In the Charlotte Bobcats camp that needs to continue to play in the second round of the playoffs, Kyle Lowry will miss the first and second games of the playoffs, and Chuck Hayes will miss the playoffs the first scene.

as the bobcats owner, michael jordan, immediately brought up the above, but it will take some time, the absence of chuck hayes and kyle lowry for the first game of the playoffs is a sure thing .

For the Charlotte Bobcats, there will definitely be some shortages in personnel.

On May 5, after 1 days, the second-round matchup between the Charlotte Bobcats and the Orlando Magic was held at the Orlando Magic's home stadium, the Amway Center Arena.

The two teams are old acquaintances in the playoffs.

In the 07-08 season, the two teams met in the Eastern Conference semifinals, and the Orlando Magic eliminated the Charlotte Bobcats 4-2. In the last season, the 08-09 season, the two teams met in the Eastern Conference finals. They met, and it turned out that the Charlotte Bobcats finally defeated the Magic 4-1 to win the Eastern Conference Championship.

The lineups of the two teams have not changed much compared to last season, especially the Charlotte Bobcats, which is still a double-star lineup based on Zhou Lin + Roy, while the Orlando Magic has lost Their commander, the Turkish magician Turkoglu.

The Magic failed to renew the contract with Turkoglu and used a sign-and-trade method in exchange for Vince Carter. In fact, it has a lot to do with the sluggish performance in the playoffs, especially last year and the year before. In the round with Zhou Lin, in the template battle, Zhou Lin has completely surpassed the Turk, and he restrained Turkoglu to death. This strengthened the management of the Orlando Magic to trade Turkoglu to a certain extent. Determination.

The current Orlando Magic is no longer satisfied with the strong teams in the Eastern Conference. The stable iron triangle in the past can enter the playoffs almost every year as the top four in the Eastern Conference and guarantee the second round. A little meaning.

If you really want to find the reason, it is because this team does not have a real offensive core. Of course, Dwight Howard has indeed become a top star in the league at this stage. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a super giant. The Magic has a defensive system, and this season is very likely to win the best defensive player again this season. It is also one of the few players in history who can win this honor again, but Howard's poor free throws are definitely not enough for the superstar level. Howard's personal offensive skills, his scoring methods are more about receiving assists from outside players, and attacking after grabbing a second rebound inside. As the second talented center after O'Neal, Howard's offensive skills must be Much worse than O'Neal.

In addition, the two high-ranking players on the Magic team, Turkoglu and Lewis, the former is weak in the playoffs, and the white forwards are not functional in attacking the tough ones, and Sarah's Lewis, after coming to the Magic, is actually in good condition. It has been declining year by year. Last season, it only had 17.7 points and 5.7 rebounds. This season it fell to 14.1 points and 4.4 rebounds. This performance is completely sorry for the title of giant.

Therefore, the introduction of Vince Carter is also a variable for the Orlando Magic.

The 33-year-old Vince Carter was once a super giant at the second position in the league and one of the four major shooting guards. He also played in the finals. This season, he averaged 16.6 points and 4.1 rebounds per game, which is also the statistics in Carter's career. The second worst season, and it is foreseeable that Carter's data will only get worse and worse. In most cases, the second player, who bears the most important task of attacking on the court, will naturally encounter the strongest Double-teaming, so Vince Carter's flashback is very difficult to achieve.

Using him to replace Turkoglu, the overall level of the team has not improved much, and it can only be the same as last year. The only difference is that Vince Carter was once a super giant player in the league. Big heart and the feeling of daring to shoot such key shots. The game temperament is much better than Bikoglu. In the first round of G2, it was also the only game where the Bucks made it difficult for the Magic. Vince . Carter scored 7 points at the last moment to help the team pass.

It is also worth mentioning that the bench of the Orlando Magic has gradually begun to emerge talents, as well as the corresponding thickness of the bench.

Sending away Alston and announcing his comeback, Jason Williams joined the Orlando Magic. Although he is no longer the gorgeous style of play before, he has the effect of a veteran microwave oven, and he helped the team with the Heat before. Winning the final championship also proved this point.

In addition, players such as JJ Redick, Ryan Anderson, Marcin Gortat, Michael Pietrus, Brandon Bass, and Anthony Johnson formed the Orlando Magic's bench.

During the regular season, the Orlando Magic's highest scorer was Warcraft's 18.3 points, but as many as eight players averaged more than 7.7 points per game, and there was Jason Williams with 6 points, 5.8 points Brandon Bass, it can be said that this Orlando Magic team is a team that is fully blooming on the offensive end, and there is no absolute center of gravity.

Before the game between the two teams started.

On the Eastern side, the Boston Celtics lost two home games first, pulled four games in a row, and finally eliminated the Miami Heat led by Flash Wade 4-2, and joined the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference semifinals .

In the west, the game is still anxious. Although the Los Angeles Lakers won the battle of Tianwangshan, they were tied by the Spurs in G6. The second round of the Magic's Eastern Conference was held at the same time. In the Western Conference, in addition to the Dallas Mavericks who beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 4-1, on April 4, the Phoenix Suns won the Denver Nuggets away. Entering the second round of the Western Conference, they will compete with the winner of the Spurs and Lakers. In addition, although the Houston Rockets won the battle of Tianwangshan, they also lost G31 in Salt Lake City and need to return to the Houston Rockets. The home game is a tiebreaker at the Toyota Center.

Compared with the situation in the east where the teams in the upper half generally win relatively easily, the teams in the upper half of the west are obviously not having a good time.

The defending champion Los Angeles Lakers and the Houston Rockets, who have invested heavily in Chris Paul and are determined to win the championship, are very likely to fall in the first round of the Western Conference.

On May 5, there will be two important games on the NBA side.

The Charlotte Bobcats, where Chinese players Zhou Lin and Yi Jianlian belong, will be the first team to play in the second round of the playoffs, and will also play the first game of the playoffs.

In the West, the Los Angeles Lakers will have a life-and-death battle with the Spurs. That team loses the game, and that team goes home to fish.

The heat of the two games was not low, and many fans watched it together on a computer and a TV.

However, the game time of the two teams was separated by 1 hour.

The first game to start is the Orlando Magic's game against the Charlotte Bobcats.

For the Charlotte Bobcats, after Kyle Lowry was suspended as a pure starter, they could only choose one of the other three guards. In the end, Larry Brown accidentally let Zhu Holiday start. This also means that Raymond Felton is basically abolished. Not surprisingly, this season is also Felton's last season with the Charlotte Bobcats.

In addition, Yi Jianlian also entered the starting lineup again, partnering with Roy Hibbert on the inside to block Warcraft's inside attack.

Roy and Zhou Lin are naturally unshakable starters.

Another scoring weapon, David Lee, continued to be placed on the bench.

It is worth mentioning that David Lee just won the honor of '2009-2010 Best Sixth Man' a few days ago.

Here's the Orlando Magic.

The starting number one, Jamal Nelson, who returned from injury, played 65 games in the regular season and scored 12.6 points and 5.4 assists. His performance has declined a lot. However, in the last round against the Bucks, in four games, With an average of 21.5 points per game, it is quite surprising that he has become the number one scoring point for the Magic. Moreover, he has shot 39.6 three-pointers, which can be said to be in a hot state.

Vince Carter is also the No. 4 position of the Orlando Magic. However, Vince Carter has a feeling of being reduced to a spot-up shooter. In the last round of 14.1 games, he averaged [-] points per game. It is also a lot lower than the regular season.

The third position, Matt Barnes, a player from UCLA, an engineer-type player, has a three-pointer, an absolute blue-collar in this lineup.

Number four, Sharad Lewis.

The fifth position, Dwight, Howard, in the last round, contributed 18.5 points, 17.2 rebounds and 3.5 blocks per game, completely crushing the state of 05, the Australian Tibetan Mastiff Bogut.

In the first game, the Amway Center has 2 seats, almost all seats are full.

After the appearance ceremony, players from both sides stood in the middle circle.

Howard easily got the first ball from Hibbert.

The Magic team still upholds the system of the entire lineup-one star and four stars.

Nelson's speed of the ball is not slow. The old Carter opened his bow and shot directly from the outside. However, he was a little disturbed and the ball went out of the basket, but Warcraft can really grab it.

In the double siege of Yi Jianlian and Hibbert, they grabbed the ball three times in a row, and once again dialed the ball to the outside. Niles took the ball and threw it high, helping the Orlando Magic to open the scoring.

"Nelson's game state during this period is really good, which also puts a lot of pressure on Zhu Holiday. This first-year guard, this is also the first start in the playoffs. I hope he can be stable. Stay calm."

Zhu Huo Ledi, who was born in 90, is less than 20 years old and extremely immature, while Jamal Nelson, who was born in 82 and just passed his 28th birthday, can be said to be at his peak.

"However, Holiday's body, after a little tempering, the future is still limitless. After all, the height, wingspan and movement speed are all determined. What is lacking now is to perform on the spot."

Back to the Charlotte Bobcats, Matt Barnes is obsessed with Zhou Lin. At 201, he looks a lot shorter than Zhou Lin, but Matt Barnes Ernes has a lot of experience, and often makes some small moves to influence Zhou Lin, such as elbowing Zhou Lin's waist, or pulling Zhou Lin in a pick-and-roll. Although he is not a top defensive player in the league, But to play against him, you must pass the psychological quality, because Barnes is also a master of trash talk, and although he is not a villain in the league, he is definitely not good at the defensive end. It is definitely not a simple tonnage comparison.

Iverson is short and thin, but he didn't suffer that much in confrontation. In college, Iverson himself was also an amphibious star in basketball and football. Matt Barnes, who was also a football player, looked thin, but Not small.

Zhou Lin felt that the difficulty of getting a position with him was not as easy as that of Luol Deng. Of course, Barnes' center of gravity was very low, just on Zhou Lin's waist.

It took Zhou Lin several turns to get the ball in the low post.

This season, Zhou Lin received the ball on the low and weak side, which has become a fixed system for the Charlotte Bobcats. Once Zhou Lin receives the ball in this position, the Orlando Magic must help defend.

Because of Warcraft Howard, the Orlando Magic did not double-team Zhou Lin, nor did they plan to do so, but once Zhou Lin asked for the ball in that position, Warcraft had to take care of it.

And this round, Warcraft went a little late. When Howard pounced, Zhou Lin turned over and made a jumper and hit it directly.

After all, Barnes is not tall enough, Zhou Lin's turnaround jumper, Barnes basically has nothing to do.

"This skill is good!"

Howard said to Zhou Lin while running back.

"You can also experience a course worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Teacher Olajuwon is sincere."

Zhou Lin also joked.

In fact, in history, World of Warcraft also asked Olajuwon to practice fantasy footsteps. Unfortunately, this kind of skill seems simple, but it depends entirely on personal comprehension and hard work. Rajuwon's training camp can practice these things.

In fact, in the Olajuwon training camp, Kobe is probably the only student who understands the fantasy footsteps, and Zhou Lin is not counted, because Zhou Lin relies more on the help of the system to quickly move forward. The footsteps of the inside line are integrated, of course, this skill set has not yet reached the stage of great success.
