This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 407 Start with defense!
Basketball fans all over the world are watching this game. Whether Charlotte can win the first NBA championship trophy in history, the fans in Time Warner Arena have prepared the things needed for the celebration ceremony and are waiting The top of the home team.

Zhou Lin also attracted everyone's attention.

Whether he can lead the Charlotte Bobcats to the NBA championship, once he succeeds, he will be elected FMVP without any suspense. value player.

In China, Zhou Lin's topicality and attention also reached the peak, and even the person in charge of the company organized to watch the game on weekdays.

Of course, it is destined to be extremely difficult for the Charlotte Bobcats to win this game, because Zhou Lin lacks his strongest partner, Brandon Roy. Roy postponed the operation time and waited I left Charlotte, just to see if Zhou Lin can lead the team to the top of the league.

Also, Zhou Lin's girlfriend, Misha, is also waiting, waiting for Zhou Lin to fulfill his promise. Once the Charlotte Bobcats win the championship, they will get married. This is also Zhou Lin's promise.

However, the bookmakers and the American commentary group do not think that the Charlotte Bobcats can win the championship in this game. Although the Charlotte Bobcats have already gained the upper hand in the series, Brandon Roy The absence of the team, the serious lack of people at the second position, and the fact that the Phoenix Suns have been pushed to the brink, there is bound to be a strong rebound.

Even if the Charlotte Bobcats can reach the top, it won't be this game.

"Quentin Richardson failed to come back in this game after all. There are really not many players on the Charlotte Bobcats who can play at the second position. Players who have not been activated in the playoffs, Larry A coach like Brown dare not use it lightly. It was said that Richardson may come back in this game, but in fact, this is just a smoke bomb. The Charlotte Bobcats will most likely let Luke Mbah a Moute or Zhu Holiday went to play the second position, but these two players are good at defense, not scoring players. Even ordinary fans think that today's game will be played by Zhou Lin alone. Focusing on scoring, of course, we can also hope that other players can burst out with better performance than in the past. In terms of inside, Yi Jianlian scored 19 points in the last game against Boston, and Kyle Lowry , must also take on some offensive responsibilities, if there are other players who can be surprise soldiers, the Bobcats will still have a chance in this game."

The Charlotte Bobcats chose to let Zhu Holiday play the No. 2 position. He has a height of 191cm and enough tonnage, plus a wingspan of 201cm. Compared with Brandon Roy, who averaged less than 6 points per game, and nearly 25 points per game, the offensive end is still much worse.

"We need a tougher defense!"

Larry Brown said: "We lost a player who could contribute 25 points per game. We must get those 25 points back from the defensive end."

The O'Brien Cup is just around the corner, and winning this trophy will make Larry Brown, a thousand-win coach, have a higher historical status.

The Charlotte Bobcats put out a relatively small lineup.

Kyle Lowry + Zhu Holiday + Luke Mbah a Moute + Zhou Lin + Yi Jianlian.

The jump ball starts.

Grant Hill, the Phoenix Suns that got the first wave of the ball, took the lead to catch the ball at the top of the arc.

The Charlotte Bobcats' defense is very outside. This will naturally give the Phoenix Suns some opportunities to break through.

Looking back, the Phoenix Suns gave Zhou Lin a strong sense of oppression as expected. Gerald Wallace chased and defended Zhou Lin very hard, and almost did not give Zhou Lin a good chance to catch the ball.

Because except for Yi Jianlian, the size of other players is too small, so the effect of a single block screen is actually very general, and the Phoenix Suns also know that the Charlotte Bobcats must give the ball to Zhou Lin for The core is here to fight.

As long as the ball is given to other players, it is a success. Although Zhou Lin still received the ball, after the confrontation, Zhou Lin's layup was blocked by Stoudemire.

You can see the leopard in the tube!

In the domestic studio, Sun Zhengping said: "The current Lynx team will probably miss Brandon Roy very much. If Brandon Roy is still on the court, would you dare to double-team Zhou Lin like this? Obviously impossible. "

Zhang Weiping said: "This is the defect that the Bobcats have exposed. What the Suns have to do today is actually very simple. You don't even need to think about it. It just keeps giving Zhou Lin a sense of oppression. As for the other players, you handle the ball." , As far as your offensive efficiency is concerned, I am not afraid. In fact, this lineup can completely take David Lee up as the team's third scorer, second only to Zhou Lin and Roy's scorer. , Come up and fight can still ease the opponent's chasing and betting against Zhou Lin."

However, once David Lee comes up, there are also disadvantages. David Lee is not considered slow in the fourth position, but in the starting lineup, David Lee is still easy to become a breakthrough for the opponent.

The Phoenix Suns' measures against Zhou Lin were relatively effective, but the Charlotte Bobcats' defensive strategy and today's defensive will to fight for the championship were quickly reflected in the game.

Every single-defense player of the Bobcats is very focused. Zhu Holiday, who was mentioned as the second position, failed to bloom on the offensive end, and even Holiday didn't plan to attack. The only thing he did was to play with him. His opponent, dunk king Richardson, did it.

Richardson is 3 inches taller than Jrue Holiday, and Nash also pays attention to the dislocation of Jason Richardson, but although Holiday is a rookie, he really does not suffer on the defensive end , Jason Richardson reached the baseline twice, once missed a pass, and once was a forced layup, but was interfered and the ball failed to hit the basket.

Richardson, who averaged close to 16 points per game in the regular season, even became the team's second-leading scorer in the playoffs, averaging 19.8 points per game. In fact, 80% of Holiday's role has been completed.

"Holiday's defense is really good. On the offensive end, Holiday is just like the average rookie. He is intermittent and hesitant, but on the defensive end, that is his specialty. Facing Richardson, He doesn't jump, and he doesn't suffer from confrontation, and with that long arm, it's really not easy for Nash to catch this dislocation."

Zhu Holiday, who was ordered in danger, was also unanimously approved by the commentators.

From the point of view of the lineup, the Charlotte Bobcats are really at a disadvantage, but today the Charlotte Bobcats are really adrenaline rushing. Kyle Lowry, who is 1.85 meters tall, even staged a two-arm punch in an offensive round. basket.

However, the offensive end of the two teams was not very smooth today.

Kyle Lowry's defense today is very aggressive. Although he sometimes loses his position and allows Steve Nash to find some opportunities, it also greatly consumes the 36-year-old veteran. Kyle Lowry today It's really chasing after Nash, one for physical contact.

Nash, who is as strong as the field control master, also made two turnovers in the first quarter of the game.

The two teams also played the lowest score of this year's finals, 22-25. The Phoenix Suns only led the Charlotte Bobcats by 3 points.

They did indeed limit Zhou Lin. In the first quarter, Zhou Lin only took 5 shots and hit 1 goal, scoring 4 points. Compared with the previous offensive efficiency, it was really low.

Moreover, after the Charlotte Bobcats lacked Brandon Roy, Holiday moved to the second position, and the rotation of the back line left only Stephen Marbury, and the game was played to this point, Larry Brown has always maintained a skeptical attitude towards Stephon Marbury's state. Even if the playing time is not very long, it is basically just a few minutes of rotation. long time.

And the only core, because of the absence of Brandon Roy in this game, Zhou Lin still stayed on the court after playing the first quarter. Of course, in this year's playoffs, Zhou Lin already had Having played the entire game twice, the 23-year-old Zhou Lin is young enough and physically fit, so for such an arrangement, he also took the initiative to ask for the ball.

In this round of the series, although the Charlotte Bobcats have an advantage of two match points, the NBA is a place where miracles are constantly born. The Charlotte Bobcats are now like a ball that was originally inflated. If you drag it back, you will be less angry. In order to avoid long nights and more dreams, you want to win this game at home with all your might.

Although Zhou Lin's performance was mediocre, his restraint on the court was too strong. His presence gave other players of the Charlotte Bobcats more opportunities to attack.

In the stage of the mixed lineup, David Lee and Zhou Lin were on the court at the same time, one inside and one outside, which was a mutual response. The Charlotte Bobcats began to get rebounds continuously. The lineup of Zhou Lin, David Lee and Hibbert , completely crushing the opponent in terms of height.

And Zhou Lin also got an offensive rebound, took off directly on the spot, faced Dudley's defense, and smashed the ball into the basket.

"At this moment, the Suns probably only have envy. Nash and Hill are more than one round older than Zhou Lin. Seeing the opponent play the whole quarter, but still have such explosive physical strength in the second quarter, I probably only envy. share."

"This is youth without limits!"

The Charlotte Bobcats continued to overwhelm the interior. In less than 4 minutes, they grabbed 5 offensive rebounds. Even though the Suns played JaVale McGee, they still could not control the Charlotte Bobcats. Impact, this is nothing at all, but when Nash and Stoudemire are resting off the court, this lineup lacks the presence of strong offense. Although Dragic made a three-pointer after playing, everyone can see it. Come out, the current Suns are missing traction.

The offensive round lacked an orderly offense, and it was basically a personal offense.

After a wave of 9-3, Gentry called a timeout!

Although Gentry has always emphasized moving the ball, the current lineup lacks a player who can pierce the opponent's defense, the so-called attacker, who cannot attract the second and third defenders, invalid passes, meaning not big.

Originally, when Stoudemire and Nash were both off the court, Richardson and Channing Frye should have supported the second team, but Frye's offensive effect on the inside was mediocre, and his outside touch was also due to Zhou Lin's defense Lost his touch. As for Richardson, no one thought that Holiday's defense would be so strong. In the second quarter, Richardson hadn't broken the ball yet.

The early return of Stoudemire and Gerald Wallace staved off the decline of the Phoenix Suns.

Stoudemire's mid-range and the threat of fast-break rounds began to activate the lineup. Channing Frye's three-pointer and Barbosa's fast-break dunk gave the Charlotte Bobcats a 10-5.

Gerald Wallace gave Zhou Lin plenty of confrontation in this game. The big brother sometimes made some small moves to interfere with Zhou Lin's receiving the ball, pull the jersey, or make Zhou Lin's offensive foul. Most of the time, Gerald Wallace is good enough, but it is impossible for Gerald Wallace to limit Zhou Lin every minute of his appearance, and a series can be cut off. A player with nearly 38 points, Zhou Lin finally scored 3+1 against Big Brother at the end of the second quarter.

This shot, Gerald Wallace has almost defended to the limit, Zhou Lin has no room to shoot, but Zhou Lin's personal ability is reflected at this moment, the shot after reclining with the body exceeding 70°, Go to the hoop after hitting the backboard!
The on-site playback equipment is also constantly replaying the goal, which seems to show how difficult the goal is.

After scoring the goal, Zhou Lin didn't stand up immediately, but slapped the floor heavily!
It seems to be venting the depression in my heart.

Bobcats teammates immediately came over and pulled Zhou Lin up.

Gerald Wallace shook his head, feeling very helpless!
Zhou Lin's free throw was also hit steadily!
Zhou Lin's touch seems to have improved a little because of this ball. Before halftime, Zhou Lin hit Gerald Wallace with a difficult two-pointer!

In this game, Zhou Lin has already made 2 three-pointers!

And relying on Zhou Lin's two points, the Bobcats completed the go-ahead.

At the end of the half, the Charlotte Bobcats led their opponents by 57 points 55-2.

Zhou Lin made 14 of 5 shots and scored 14 points. Although the efficiency is not high, fans have seen signs of Zhou Lin's recovery.

The Phoenix Suns also failed to show their characteristics. The outside three-pointers were 11 of 2 today, and the shooting percentage was less than 20%.

Su Qun said: "In today's game, both sides paid more attention to defense. Now, it's time to test the quality of the superstars. What are the team's superstars used for? To complete some technical moves that ordinary players cannot complete. .”

Yang Yi said: "According to the progress of this game, today's game seems to be going to the last moment again."

"Maybe there will be extra time."
