This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 378 Zhou Lin scored 40+ triple-doubles, Bobcats win G4!

In the first quarter of the game, the Charlotte Bobcats, led by Zhou Lin, played extremely well on both offense and defense, but the Orlando Magic's Warcraft Howard's game in the first quarter was also remarkable. Scoring 9 points, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks in a single quarter, the Orlando Magic scored 27 points in a single quarter, proving that their offense is still around the average level.

Dwight Howard and Zhou Lin played very well in the first quarter. It was a [-]-[-] split. They both played at the star level. At the beginning of the quarter, the two core players who played the entire first quarter will temporarily die down and take a short rest off the court.

"The Bobcats played a very high level of game rhythm in the first quarter, shooting more than [-]%, and now the Bobcats are starting to come on the bench. Whether the bench can maintain high efficiency is also a variable in the game. There is one thing to say, The Orlando Magic had a better bench than the Charlotte Bobcats the first couple of games."

What I have to say is that David Lee, the bench leader of the Charlotte Bobcats and the best sixth man, averaged only 11.6 points and 4.2 rebounds in the three games against the Magic, and his shooting percentage was less than 46%. , and this is still an insider. Compared with the Chicago Bulls in the last round of the series, they averaged 16.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 57% shooting, which is a huge landslide. The -1 total score behind the Orlando Magic is a big reason.

However, today's David Lee really carried the offensive banner of the Charlotte Bobcats at this stage. Facing the defense of Brandon Bass, the No. 33 pick of the same year, David Lee continued to attack The inside hook was successful, and the left and right hooks were made in the same way. The difference between the two is only 3 draft picks, and they are similar in size. David Lee's inside offensive skills are indeed not comparable to Bass. Bass wins in his body Better quality and better explosive power, but these two abilities can't prevent David Li Lianfan from scoring points on his head. David Li hardly jumps very much, relying on the thickness of his body to squeeze Brandon away Bass, so Bass can only look anxious.

In addition, Brandon Roy did not let David Lee fight alone for a long time. He came off at the end of the first quarter and appeared in the second quarter without playing a few rounds. He echoed David Lee's inside line , Let the Charlotte Bobcats open the point difference to more than double digits in the absence of Zhou Lin, and the balance of victory is completely tilted towards the Charlotte Bobcats.

However, David Lee made a frontal breakthrough and stepped on the instep of Pietrus during an attack. David Lee hugged his ankle and fell to the ground in pain. The referee stopped the game immediately. Holding his ankle, he waited for the team doctor to come forward. After a simple consultation, David Lee was helped into the player tunnel of the arena.

David Lee has already scored 6 points in this quarter. It can be said that he is in good condition, but things like injuries are the most helpless things.

"I hope David Lee is okay. For the Bobcats, David Lee is not only for this game, but it may also cause the trend of the entire series. Look at David Lee's painful expression just now, and the replay just now. Almost a 90° twist, this sprain seems to be a bit heavy, let's pray that David Lee doesn't suffer too much injury."

Injuries are injuries, games are games, and injuries are part of the game.

As far as competitive sports are concerned, the Orlando Magic are unlikely to show any mercy because of sympathy for David Lee's injury, and will also make special arrangements for the current shortage of the Charlotte Bobcats at the fourth position.

Luke Mbah a Moute stepped forward first. Compared to Hayes, Luke Mbah a Moute is at least much easier to use on the offensive end. Smith and Sharad Lewis, who played later, made some singles tactical arrangements. Mbah a Moute's top position at the fourth position is really a bit reluctant. After all, he is not a short and stout insider. In the NCAA The height of playing the fourth position is also because the physical talent in the NCAA is not so terrifying, but in the NBA, an insider like Mbah a Moute who has neither height nor weight is destined to be taken care of.

Unsurprisingly, the Orlando Magic continued to make fuss in the interior, and they couldn't defend the opponent's players alone. They lost offensive rebounds and were beaten 3-11 by their opponents in 3 minutes.

With 7 minutes and 16 seconds left in the second quarter, the Bobcats were 42-38, and their lead was about to be wiped out.

Zhou Lin finally played, and the opposite Warcraft Howard also returned to the court from the bench.

After Zhou Lin returned to the court, his hands were not cold, and he was even hotter than before. In the first round, facing Matt Barnes' close defense, he made a hard pull and made a two-pointer. , followed by another rebound from the backcourt, and a one-stop layup. Finally, he received another pass from Brandon Roy for a breakthrough point, and hit a cold-blooded three-pointer from the outside!

After Zhou Lin returned, the Charlotte Bobcats' offense was back on track. At the end of the first half, the Charlotte Bobcats took a 56-point lead 47-9.

Zhou Lin scored 22 points, 6 assists, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks at halftime.

A lot of media paid attention to David Lee's injury. After a simple inspection, fortunately, according to the judgment of the team doctor, David Lee's sprain should be classified as a first-degree sprain.

There are three grades of sprains, the higher the grade the more serious it is.

A first-degree sprain is just a sprain to the joint or a slight tear, which may be accompanied by some pain, but there is no obvious change in appearance.

Second-degree sprains are mainly caused by the rupture of some ligaments, and at the same time, there may be some swelling or severe pain in the joints.

The third-grade sprain is the most serious, which is a complete rupture of the ligament and severe hematoma.

There is a high probability that it is just a simple ligament strain. After the game, there will be a more accurate injury assessment report.

If it is assessed as a first-level sprain, then David Lee is likely to be sidelined for 2-3 games, which is about 7 days. If the team urgently needs him, this level of sprain will come back with an injury It is also very possible.

This is also a blessing in misfortune.

Of course, the Charlotte Bobcats must do well. This round of the series is not prepared for David Lee. If this round of games is to return at a normal time, then it will probably wait until the game G7.

If once the Bobcats were eliminated by the Magic, then David Lee would have no meaning to come back.

"Don't worry, we can win this round!"

Zhou Lin patted David Li on the shoulder and said.

"Brother, hold on."

David Lee nodded.

Although David Lee is new to the Charlotte Bobcats, because he is an NBA player under the management company of Thomas Myers, Zhou Lin also helps David Lee a lot in the team. A good friendship has also been established.

"Defend the home court, come on, Bobcats!"

Back from the halftime game, Zhou Lin and all his teammates got together, cheered up, and made his debut again.

"David Lee will not return this game, or even this round of the series. This is more or less a problem for Larry Brown. Of course, we still believe that the Charlotte Bobcats can still win. Whoever wins this game, there will still be players in this round of the series.”

The 9-point halftime lead is not particularly large, and the Orlando Magic finally started to shoot three-pointers from the outside. Ryan Anderson and Sharad Lewis appeared at the same time. This lineup is not in the Magic. It has never appeared, and these two anti-aircraft guns, each with a three-pointer, can be regarded as supporting the banner of the Orlando Magic's outside offense.

And then, Lewis suddenly broke out.

Although Sharad Lewis has degraded a lot in recent years, the dead camel is bigger than the horse. In some games, you can still see his highlight performance.

Of course, this is also because David Lee is gone. Whether it is Hayes or Yi Jianlian defending him, either the speed cannot match or the height cannot reach.

After allowing Lewis to score consecutively, the score was about to tie the cup, but Zhou Lin's touch had faded a little after the halftime break, and the Orlando Magic had already started double-teaming. When all the shots were missed, the team's second-in-command Brandon Roy finally broke out.

In the third quarter, the offensive banner of the Bobcats was carried by Brandon Roy. Roy shot from inside and outside, and also scored double-digit points in the third quarter, and also scored in the third quarter. In the first quarter, the personal score was raised to more than 20 points.

The Orlando Magic are still making a fuss about the fourth position. In many cases, in terms of defensive choices, they also selectively give up the fourth position. Whether it is Hayes or Yi Jianlian, the offensive effect of this game Both are poor.

At the end of the third quarter, the Bobcats did not expand their lead again, but were chased back by 3 points by their opponents.

84-78, the Charlotte Bobcats hold a 6-point lead.

"Don't hesitate to make a shot if you have a chance. We can't worry about gains and losses. This is an extremely critical game, but I also hope that you will treat this game as any game in the season."

Larry Brown could clearly see that the players on the team felt somewhat burdened.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Zhou Lin chose to stay on the court. In the second half, Zhou Lin never rested. Zhou Lin had too much to do. Other players fill in the gaps.

In addition, Zhou Lin's early personal warm-up also caused Zhou Lin to lose part of his physical fitness. These coaches all saw it, but Zhou Lin can't rest now. Originally, in the early stages of the 2nd and 4th quarters, David Lee would replace him. Zhou Lin went to support the Bobcats' offense, but now the team is indeed a little tight on the offensive end, and this is still the playoffs, so trial and error are not allowed.

Larry Brown could only rely on Zhou Lin to make his debut.

And during this period of time, Howard was not on the court, and Zhou Lin was not there, as if he was trying to shoot from the outside, but chose to keep hitting the inside.

In the four rounds when Zhou Lin touched the ball to complete the direct attack, except for one strike, in the other three times, he made a direct layup once, and the other two fouls were caused by the opponent Matt Barnes. Matt Barnes Si also received his fifth personal foul. Zhou Lin scored 6 points in a row to help the team stabilize the lead.

Howard couldn't sit still anymore, and was soon put on the court by Stan Van Gundy. Without him guarding the inside, it was too easy for Zhou Lin to enter the inside to score points.

And Howard's return has also changed the way the Charlotte Bobcats play at this stage to a certain extent.

However, Zhou Lin's condition has really improved, of course, because he really needs to hold the team on his shoulders now.

In the middle of the fourth quarter, Zhou Lin seemed to be a qualified commander, sending shells to his teammates continuously. In 4 minutes, he sent out four assists, which also brought his assists to double digits.

Su Qun is also counting. Zhou Lin is now 35 points, 10 assists, 8 rebounds and 3 blocks. He has a chance to get a large triple-double at the end of the game.

As for the opponent, Lewis played the best game of the playoffs in this game. Facing Hayes, he made consecutive outside shots, made two points, and various turnaround jump shots, allowing Hayes That was basically powerless, and after replacing Yi Jianlian, he couldn't keep up.

Lewis has a great dream of returning to his peak state.

Of course, the offensive state of the Charlotte Bobcats has always been maintained, and they have always held a 6-8 point lead.

With 2 minutes left in the game, Sharad Lewis broke through to the inside of the Bobcats and made Yi Jianlian's sixth foul. At the same time, he made two free throws, pulling the point difference back to 5 points, and his personal score also reached 30 points .

And when the Orlando Magic saw hope, Zhou Lin's unreasonable 3+1 completely wiped out the Orlando Magic's hope of catching up.

At the free throw line, with the fans cheering MVP loudly, Zhou Lin steadily made an extra free throw, and his personal score reached 41 points!
The point difference came to 9 points, and there was only 1 minute and 46 seconds left.

Looking back, Warcraft missed the small hook in the paint, Zhou Lin got the 10th rebound steadily, and the Charlotte Bobcats almost secured the victory in G4.

"Zhou Lin got a triple-double! There is still 1 minute and 25 seconds left, and the Bobcats must be pressing time."

And Brandon Roy received a pass from Zhou Lin and hit a three-pointer from the outside, which was the last straw for the Orlando Magic.

With a 12-point difference and 1 minute, the Magic seemed hopeless.

With Nelson's missed three-pointer, the Magic disarmed and surrendered directly.

The game goes by with the passage of time.

117-106, the Charlotte Bobcats finally won G4 at home, the two teams tied 2-2, and the battle of Tianwangshan is about to usher in.

In this campaign, Zhou Lin scored a team-high 41 points, including 11 of 11 free throws, 11 assists, 10 rebounds, 3 blocks and 1 steal. Brandon Roy, another Gemini, also had 28 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists.

奥兰多魔术队这边呢，沙拉德.刘易斯空砍了本赛季季后赛新高的32分9篮板，德怀特.霍华德19分17篮板2盖帽。

The battle of Tianwangshan will go to the home court of the Magic. Of course, David Lee's injury will cast a haze on the next game of the Bobcats. Zhou Lin, who has just played the strongest battle since his comeback, as long as he can Continue the fiery state, then the victory of the next game can also be expected!
