This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 414 The Dragon Slayer Has Become a Great Dragon

The 2010-2011 season kicked off completely on October 10. The defending champion Charlotte Bobcats faced the Cleveland Cavaliers who had lost LeBron James in the first game. In this game, the Charlotte Bobcats The team won the final victory of the game without any suspense, but in the next three away games, they faced the Atlanta Hawks without Joe Johnson, the Philadelphia Numerals team dominated by young people, and the wave whose fate had also changed greatly. The Tran Trail Blazers and the Charlotte Bobcats suffered a bitter three-game losing streak, and their ranking fell to 27th in the Eastern Conference.

The morale of the team was slightly low. Some people began to question Zhou Lin's ability to lead the team, and some people began to doubt the overall structure of the team. The lineup consisted of two core players plus rookies and basic-salary veteran players, and Brandon Roy Still absent, the team looked very uncompetitive.

The Charlotte Bobcats are finally starting to change.

Added Jrue Holiday and Tony Allen to the starting lineup, replaced Derek Fisher and Tracy McGrady, two once-famous players in the first four games , almost became the opponent's cash machine, the defense line collapsed, and the offensive end was not fully opened. The first four games lost 117.5 points, which was also the most in the league.

In Game [-], the Charlotte Bobcats returned to their home court at the Time Warner Center, where they ushered in the No. [-] New Jersey Nets in the East.

The New York Knicks, which got the Super Big Three, only got a record of 2 wins and 2 losses at the beginning of the game. Winning streak, the only team in the league that has never lost a game, is also the first in the league.

Joe Johnson, who averaged 23.6 points per game, won the Player of the Week award together with Kobe Bryant.

Facing fierce enemies, the Charlotte Bobcats urgently need a victory to restore the team's momentum.

The New Jersey Nets are going to win their sixth straight game over the Charlotte Bobcats.

After the success of the Charlotte Bobcats and the Phoenix Suns last season, two teams known for their offense, there have been many imitators this season. Among them, the New Jersey Nets are the most successful. The number position was re-Tan Brock Lopez, and Chris Bosh went to the fifth position. The team's overall shooting ability is very strong, the movement speed is also extremely fast, and the offensive efficiency is extremely high. In the first five games, the average The score is as high as 115.5 points.

The starters dispatched by both sides are light cavalry lineups.

The starters for the Charlotte Bobcats: Zhu Holiday, Tony Allen, Luke Mbah a Moute, Zhou Lin, Yi Jianlian.

New Jersey Nets starting lineup is: Devon Harris, Stephen Graham, Joe Johnson, Chevis Outlaw, Chris Bosh.

"Brothers, we have to show some skills, this is Charlotte, our city!"

Zhou Lin mobilized all the players before the game, and he wanted to win this game.

Losing to a non-playoff team, or losing to any team in the West, is acceptable to Zhou Lin and the Charlotte Bobcats, but losing to an imaginary opponent in the playoffs-it is undeniable that The New Jersey Nets will become a strong contender for the top spot in the Eastern Conference this year, and it must be a stumbling block on the way for the Charlotte Bobcats to defend their title.

"The starting lineup of the Charlotte Bobcats completely put the offensive burden on Zhou Lin."

The combination of Jrue Holiday and Tony Allen is probably the best defensive back line combination in the league at present, and Luke Mbah a Moute also practiced the engineer system early in the Charlotte Bobcats. Although the score has increased to 35%, it is barely passing. On the contrary, it is the defense of the players in the third and fourth positions who are sticking to the opponent, making Mbah a Moute a guard with a knife next to Zhou Lin.

"Give oppression, give oppression!"

Larry Brown also has a heavy burden on his shoulders. After all, the team he is leading now is not the playoff team when he came here, but a team that has entered the finals twice and won the championship. The expectations of the team, fans and management are different. Although the season has just started, the 1 win and 3 losses at the start of the game obviously need someone to bear it.

If you continue to lose, the position of the coach will always be less secure than the players.

Devin Harris can be said to be one of the fastest first-position players in the league at present, but Holiday is really not afraid of being fast, but the kind of accurate shooting, which makes him quite afraid.

In the opening stage, Devon Harris hit the basket twice but failed. The barrier set up by the Charlotte Bobcats is still strong enough. The only regret is that although the Charlotte Bobcats have completed the defensive arrangement very well, But the offense also ran into trouble.

As long as Zhou Lin gets the ball, he will definitely be double-teamed. One of Tony Allen and Zhu Holiday will definitely be emptied. It is a pity that these two guys failed to make a shot in the first three shots. go in.

On the other hand, for the New Jersey Nets, Joe Johnson finally scored the first goal of the game through his individual singles. Joe's ability in singles is still remarkable.

On Zhou Lin's side, he finally stopped thinking about passing the ball, and a mid-range shot also helped the Charlotte Bobcats open up the situation.

And the New Jersey Nets, which has the Big Three, began to use Chris Bosh as the axis near the free throw line to make another article. The Nets are more troublesome. The United Arab Emirates has increased muscle and reduced fat during the offseason. The speed of the whole person is much faster than last season, but in terms of moving speed, it is still not the opponent of Chris Bosh. , Chris Bosh's two consecutive hits made the UAE have to choose to go up, and Joe Johnson and Harris' counter-cut baskets also made the Charlotte Bobcats suffer from the empty city gate.

"For now, the degree of running-in of the Big Three of the New Jersey Nets is much better than that of the Big Three of the New York Knicks."

In terms of the quality of the stars, the Big Three in New Jersey are much worse than the Big Three in New York, but because of this, it will be a little easier to run in.

In the opening stage, they were able to stalemate, but they were quickly beaten 8-2, and Larry Brown immediately called a timeout.

"Pay attention to defense, defense is not a matter of one person."

Larry Brown said a little angrily: "What we need to do is to concentrate. We need to cooperate and defend as a team. When our enemy is very strong."

What Larry Brown said during the timeout was very immediate. Looking back, the Charlotte Bobcats first had a layup by Holiday, and then on the defensive end, Yi Jianlian blocked Outlaw's layup.

Zhou Lin also finally made his first three-pointer at 5 minutes and 24 seconds of the first quarter. In the new season, Zhou Lin's three-pointer was more or less struggling, with an average of 34% per game. The shooting percentage is 5% lower than last season. Of course, this is also because the defensive level is different.

The former dragon-slaying boy has now become a giant dragon.

Brandon Roy is absent, and the team's overall offensive structure is very general. The Charlotte Bobcats all point to Zhou Lin to attack.

Zhou Lin also punched hard after throwing in.

After the goal was made, Zhou Lin seemed to be free from the shackles. Facing Outlaw's defense, Zhou Lin turned around and hit a jumper, and faced the double-teaming Zhou Lin forced himself to make a foul.

Standing on the free throw line, the familiar shout of MVP sounded again.

Zhou Lin steadily hit 2 free throws.

In the next few minutes, Zhou Lin was not relentless. Even in the face of the attack of the three, Zhou Lin was able to complete a difficult layup.

In the first quarter, Zhou Lin scored a game-high 10 points in 23 minutes and 14 seconds.

The Charlotte Bobcats lead the New Jersey Nets by one point 28-27.

"The journey of the Charlotte Bobcats this season will be more difficult than last season, because Zhou Lin and Roy's new contract has entered the first year. It is the poorest team in the league, so except for Zhou Linroy and David Lee, there is no player in the Charlotte Bobcats camp with an annual salary of more than 400 million. In the east where the arms race is very intense, the Charlotte Bobcats On the contrary, it has weakened in disguise."

"What the Charlotte Bobcats need to do is not fall behind in the first half of the season, and wait for Roy to come back together and hit the championship."

Tracy McGrady's playing still attracted the screams and applause of many fans. He joined the Bobcats in 4 games and averaged 21.6 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 1.5 minutes per game. McGrady's data also fell. The new low of his career, he needs to play the role of off-ball player in the starting lineup, but McGrady's fixed-point three-pointer is actually not good.

In his career, McGrady’s three-point shooting percentage hovered around 35% most of the time. Like Kobe, he shot a lot, but the shooting percentage was not high. Moreover, McGrady’s body is not as good as Kobe’s. This is also an indisputable fact. Good refers not to talent, but to the ability to resist injuries, but from the static data point of view, McGrady can beat Kobe by several blocks, but McGrady's spinal problems have run through most of his career, and Kobe, Even though he has experienced injuries, in the first half of his career, he did not encounter any injuries that may affect his career. In addition, in terms of mentality, Kobe and McGrady are much better than each other. Personality determines destiny, which is why McGrady There is still no championship today, and Kobe also won the championship ring with him as the core.

This is also the first time that McGrady has faced a substitute role in his nearly ten-year career. Whether in Orlando, Houston, or Los Angeles, McGrady always appears as a starter, but in his psychological presupposition, He's ready to play off the bench.

When he signed with the Charlotte Bobcats, when he learned that Brandon Roy might not return until the playoffs for half the season, McGrady still had a little bit of luck in his mind. This is a place where I can once again give myself a chance to prove myself.

However, in the first four games, he played like a sleepwalker. He couldn't see the elegance and agility of McGrady in the past. Some of them were loopholes on the defensive end and twilight on the offensive end.

The scarred body can no longer support McGrady to complete various difficult moves, and even failed to dunk the ball with an empty basket. In the past, it is hard for you to imagine that this is a dunk contest. Super giant!
Larry Brown didn't give the former super giant any more face. After the negotiation, he put McGrady on the bench.

On the bench, though, he can handle the ball.

Whether to be a 25-minute spot-up shooter in the starting lineup, or choose to be the main ball-handler for 15 minutes in the bench lineup, at least in the bench lineup with you as the core of play.

After thinking about it, McGrady readily accepted the latter.

After four games of experimentation, McGrady also understood everything.

The role of the sixth man is more suitable for his current situation than the starting second position.

"Yo, Maddie, give me a dry pull!"

"Have it!"

"In the first four games, we didn't see McGrady's performance like this. With Zhou Lin on the court, McGrady was somewhat hesitant, but in the substitute lineup, with my qualifications and my remaining ability, this ball, It's up to me to attack!"

After McGrady scored a three-pointer, the fans of the Charlotte Bobcats were boiling, and the Chinese fans on the other side of the ocean were also boiling. Tracy McGrady is the memory of a generation, although McGrady is now late, But it is more or less gratifying to see McGrady making such a goal.

In addition, McGrady's passing ability is also top-notch among the swingmen in the second and third positions.

His height and his vision are destined to make a high-quality pass as long as McGrady wants to pass.

His partner, Derek Fisher, was basically reduced to a spot-up shooter.

This is also unexpectedly easy to use. Derek Fisher can't run anymore, and he can't break through, but it's really good for a shot.

After Zhou Lin went off the field, the Charlotte Bobcats instead set off a wave of offensive climax to stop the opponent.

"That's the role of a veteran."

"They have been playing in the NBA for so many years. In fact, your head coach doesn't need to tell me what to do. I know what I am going to do. But you put me in the starting lineup and let me play with those nephew players. Going to attack and speed up is not something I can do. Now, Larry Brown guesses and wants to understand. In the time of the second echelon on the opposite side, the abilities of these veterans are enough, and they can Relying on experience can produce good results.”

"Hey, Tracy, your shot just now made me see you ten years ago." Zhou Lin took the initiative to step forward and high-five McGrady.

"Maybe I should compete for the best sixth man."

"Nice idea!"

It is indeed possible that McGrady is the best sixth man, but the possibility is not great. First of all, McGrady must stay healthy.
