This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 385 The strong need not say much
Twenty-two hours after the game between the Charlotte Bobcats and the Orlando Magic, the series between the Celtics and the Cavaliers also came to an end. The big three with 22 points, 27 rebounds and 19 assists, but the two new players who joined this season are not very powerful. They only scored 10 points. The old Shark and the degraded Jamison cannot give LeBron James a good helping hand In the six games of this round of the series, although James averaged 16 points, 26.8 rebounds and 9.3 assists per game, LeBron James' shooting percentage dropped to 7.1%, of which the three-point shooting percentage was only 44%. In the game, it can be seen that in the three games from G23-G4, James seemed to be possessed. He took 6 three-pointers in total, but only hit 13 goal.

Of course, if you watch the video and analyze it in detail, the Boston Celtics have hoarded a lot of troops in the interior. Unless the Cleveland Cavaliers can play a defensive transition, LeBron James wants to easily play against the Celtics. It is difficult to get opportunities inside. The purpose of this move is to force James to take more mid-to-long-range shots.

After playing two or three games, the Boston Celtics already know the way for the Cavaliers to win, which is LeBron James. In G1, LeBron James scored 24 of 12 and scored 35 points. In G3, LeBron James Brown James scored 22 points on 14 of 38 shots. In these two games, James shot 3 of 2 and 6 of 3 three-pointers. You must know that James only made 6 three-pointers in this round of the series. It's just the ball. After the pressure was applied, the newly released MVP of the regular season also showed that he was not particularly stable, and at the end of the game, the Boston Celtics were almost all for LeBron. James has a chance to shoot from the outside, which also has a huge blow to the psychological level.

After the Boston Celtics played three games in a row, the opponents of the Charlotte Bobcats have also been finalized, which is the Celtics who will enter the Eastern Conference Finals after a year, because the two teams are ranked third and third in the Eastern Conference. Fourth, so the Charlotte Bobcats, who ranked third in the Eastern Conference, finally gained home court advantage.

After the Suns eliminated their former rivals the Spurs 4-1 in the Western Conference next door, only the Houston Rockets and Dallas Mavericks are left in the second round, and the Phoenix Suns did not expect to be defeated by themselves. After waiting for so long, the Houston Rockets actually won a home and away game after falling behind 1-3. They may even turn against the wind and become the Millennium Champion after the Detroit Pistons in 03 and the Phoenix Suns in 06. The third team to complete a super comeback.

The game between the Dallas Mavericks and the Charlotte Bobcats VS Boston Celtics began on the same day.

Before that, Garnett, Rondo, and Pierce of the Celtics all went to TNT for a column. These three are all in the NBA, and they like to talk big and talk hard, especially when they eliminate After leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers led by LeBron James, his mentality has also expanded unprecedentedly.

In this column, the meaning expressed by the three people is probably the same. We are completely playing dead in the regular season. A team like ours whose first goal is to compete for the championship never considers the record in the regular season. The East is fourth, but haven't we even eliminated the league's first?And we got enough rest in the regular season to ensure that we can play our best game in the playoffs. Now we are invincible, and the Charlotte Bobcats are not overwhelmed.

This kind of speech is naturally understandable. Hasn't the United States always advertised freedom of speech?It is also customary to say harsh words on the column. This kind of thing is just to increase the mood of the game, to beat the opponent, and to boost self-confidence.

The Bobcats players didn't pay much attention to it, and they were still training step by step to prepare for the Eastern Conference Finals.

However, Pierce's remarks offended many fans.

We even eliminated LeBron, and we are still afraid of the little guy from the East, he is completely overrated player.

In a word, the two hottest power forwards in the league were all offended. Of course, this is probably because Paul Pierce is originally a player in the same position, and there are more or less conflicts in the same position.

The players probably didn't mind too much, but when this remark came out, it could be said that they offended a large group of fans, including LeBron James' fans, and Zhou Lin's large number of fans.

There was also a scolding war on the Internet. Zhou Lin and James had [-] times as many Twitter fans as Paul Pierce. After Pierce's remarks came out, it also attracted countless black fans.

For a while, the fans began to abuse. The two main points of criticism are that the Celtics started the bad atmosphere of grouping and personal honor. Before you, Paul Pierce, you didn’t even make it to the finals, so what are you talking about? Speaking of the O'Brien Cup, you are just hugging other people's thighs. Some fans even listed the personal honors of Zhou Lin and LeBron James for comparison. The 26-year-old LeBron James and the 23-year-old Zhou Lin have a In terms of honor, it has almost surpassed Paul Pierce at the moment.

The game has not yet started, and a series of scolding wars have been triggered on the network. Zhou Lin finally saw this video, and when he was interviewed, he said with a smile: "I never care about these things. The strong don't need to say much." , and only the weak chatter."

However, fans of the Charlotte Bobcats, they didn't do it.

When Paul Pierce was introduced as a player for the visiting team, the applause that should have come turned into boos.

And when Zhou Lin appeared on the stage as the finale player, the audience burst into applause. Interestingly, the scene of Zhou Lin being interviewed was broadcast live.

The strong don't need to talk, but the weak talk endlessly.

This is what the staff of the Charlotte Bobcats are doing.

After a series of ceremonies, the starting players on both sides also officially debuted, and the Charlotte Bobcats still put on a twin-tower lineup.

Yi Jianlian hit four and Roy Hibbert hit five.

Positions one to three, Lowry, Roy, Zhou Lin, have been completely fixed starting trio.

On the Boston Celtics side, the Big Three, Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, plus a combination of Rajon Rondo and big baby Kentrick Perkins.

In fact, every fan of the Celtics knows very well that there is not much time left for the three old giants to win the championship. Perhaps at some point, it is unknown that the championship window will suddenly close. It was the last time this lineup hit the O'Brien Cup.

Although Kevin Garnett played the fourth position and was old, he still helped the Celtics get the first wave of possession in the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals.

As the backcourt commander of the Celtics, Rondo controls the ball and moves forward.

After Garnett came up for the pick-and-roll, Rondo passed the ball behind Garnett. Garnett made a high jumper. Ah Lian went up to make up for it. Although he failed to block it, Garnett also failed to make it. Kings and Hibbert fought for a rebound for several rounds in a row. In the end, Hibbert grabbed the rebound by relying on his height, but Hibbert's pass was slightly misguided, which was judged by Rondo. The steal king of the season, he succeeded in stealing directly, and Zhou Linbu, who was chasing behind, made a foul.

"This is the game mode of the Boston Celtics. Unlike the Orlando Magic, their defensive system is entirely composed of Warcraft Howard alone. The other four positions are below the average level of the league, but what about the Celtics? This team is known for its iron and blood. After the disintegration of the F4 Pistons, they may be the only team in the East with considerable skill and ability in defense. Almost everyone can defend, and there will be frequent physical contact. .Allen, Pierce, Garnett, Perkins, Rondo, team defensive team, and the magic team take a completely different route, the Charlotte Bobcats must be cautious, look at LeBron James How it got knocked out."

Su Qun, who was sitting in a commentary area of ​​the arena, commented.

Whether it is the Chicago Bulls in the first round or the Orlando Magic, neither can give the Charlotte Bobcats such a large defensive pressure, which also requires the Bobcats to adapt as soon as possible.

However, Rondo's free throws were also bad enough. The first free throw actually made a three-point shot, and the second free throw stumbled into the basket.

The palm is big and the wingspan is too long. These exaggerated proportions, in addition to endowing Rondo with excellent single defense ability and ball handling skills, also affect Rondo's shooting ability to some extent.

The Charlotte Bobcats still wanted to start from Zhou Lin's point of view, but the Boston Celtics' defense ability hindered Zhou Lin's inside cut, forcing Zhou Lin to shoot from the outside.

This is completely dealing with Zhou Lin in the same way as dealing with James.

In the ranking of small forwards, Zhou Lin ranks behind James, and his type is also somewhat similar. He can indeed imitate cats and dogs.

Moreover, Zhou Lin's three-point shooting percentage dropped from 39.5% in the regular season to 34% after entering the playoffs. In the last round, Zhou Lin's three-point shooting was also up and down. The team's barometer.

But unlike the defense of the Orlando Magic, the sense of urgency on the perimeter still exists. The rotation of the Celtics is very healthy, and the defense is changed in a timely manner. pressure.

Once Zhou Lin cut in, it was like a pocket encirclement.

However, Zhou Lin did not completely fall into the opponent's trap. Zhou Lin's mid-range hit from the free throw line disintegrated the trap slightly.

Two points long is the least cost-effective score, because only two points are scored, but the shooting percentage is not as high as reaching the basket.

This is why the proportion of mid-range shots is declining year by year, but this middle zone still requires high defensive penetration.

Zhou Lin's dribbling and passing ability can make Zhou Lin a huge threat in this position. With one shot from the inside line, Zhou Lin can quickly rush to the basket, or pass to the outside line. The height and pass threat are bigger.

And this is currently Zhou Lin's best scoring method. After all, Zhou Lin is more than an inch taller than James, and at least 2 inches taller than Paul Pierce who is defending him. His shot height is the same as that of the Boston Celtics. Unattainable, the only thing that can hinder Zhou Lin is probably Zhou Lin's own touch.

Looking back, the Celtics want to respond to the Charlotte Bobcats through Paul Pierce's offense. As the youngest of the Big Three, Pierce has not yet turned 33. He is also the only one among the Big Three that has not been completely functioned. As a modernized player, Kevin Garnett has found it difficult to take care of both passing support and offense and defense. Now his main ability is support and defense. His scoring average is 14.3 points per game, the lowest among the Big Three, and Ray Garnett, the oldest. As for Allen, his sharp breakthrough has decreased a lot with the growth of the years. Of course, his daily training maintains Ray Allen's endurance is still very good. As a fitness training madman in the league, it is not a problem to play 40 minutes per game. Big, but the loss of explosive power and jumping is almost irreparable. He is now focusing on three-pointers and defense. There is no concept of 3D yet, but he is properly 3D. Ray Allen is also the Big Three On the contrary, he is the player who requires the least possession of the ball.

As the first-generation offensive kaleidoscope, Pierce still has a stable mid-range shot, but Zhou Lin who defends him is high and fast. Pierce's jump shot is obviously off, but Perkins' offensive rebound is given to the inside. Rondo had a chance for a layup. At the moment when Yi Jianlian was about to block the shot, Rondo made a back pass to Ray Allen on the outside after a jump.

Ray Allen received the ball without any hesitation, just like in his first 14 career careers, he went up and down with a knife and hit a three-pointer directly.

The Boston Celtics no longer have a clear main attacker this season. Paul Pierce averaged only 18.3 points per game, but the starting five all scored in double figures.

When the experience has accumulated to a certain stage, coach Doug Rivers really does not need too much training, they will naturally talk about the formation of a method similar to the whole team participating in the offensive and defensive, and it also explains what It's called team basketball!
It was in this system that Rondo scored a career-high 13.7 points.

And compared to the regular season, the Boston Celtics in the playoffs are undoubtedly more terrifying.

The two teams played against each other three times in the regular season, and the Charlotte Bobcats took a 2-1 advantage. In the two games Zhou Lin was in, the Bobcats won all the victories, but compared with the regular season, the Celtics' The toughness in the playoffs is the scariest thing.

LeBron. James and his Cleveland Cavaliers lost to such a Celtics team is actually not wronged.
