This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 427 The Fragrant Chandler
On April 4, the first three games of the first round of the playoffs were played.

Judging from the first three games, generally speaking, there were some upsets, but most of them followed the preset track.

East side.

The Chicago Bulls have already led 3-0 against the Milwaukee Bucks, and they have a tendency to sweep.

The Philadelphia Digimen team played by the Big Three of the New York Knicks has almost no temper. The Digimen team mainly led by Iguodala did not perform particularly well on both offensive and defensive ends, and was also led 3:0.

The defending champion Charlotte Bobcats entered the playoffs and seemed to be reborn, from a sick cat to a hungry tiger, leading 2:1.

On the other hand, the Orlando Magic and Boston Celtics, the old Celtics actually beat the Magic 3-0. You must know that the Orlando Magic were still at the championship level last year, and the Celtics are year-on-year. Old, but Warcraft's rough inside and unreasonable combination of outside, Jamal Nelson's decline, coupled with the serious degradation of Vince Carter and Sharad Lewis, made this team struggling .

Compared with the eastern side, 3 groups of 3:0 qualifying, the western side is much more harmonious.

The top-ranked San Antonio Spurs are dominated by the black and white duo of Memphis, and are currently 1:2 behind by 1 game.

The second-ranked Dallas Mavericks faced the Denver Nuggets without Carmelo Anthony. Although the lineup has an advantage, they are currently behind 1:2. Like the San Antonio Spurs, they are a bit lost in the lower half. team domination.

The third-ranked Los Angeles Lakers actually didn't want to play against the Houston Rockets, which also had the Big Three. As expected, after losing a home game, they lost by one point in the third game. The comeback Yao Ming contributed Quasi lore, now the Lakers are 1:1 behind by a game.

In the game between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Golden State Warriors, the game between two teams with a difference of 2 wins, the same team with young players as the core, was almost evenly divided in terms of outside offense, but Oklahoma The Homer Thunder team restricted James Harden's performance well at critical moments. As a strong contender for this year's Most Improved Award, James Harden scored high points, but apart from the second game In addition to scoring 30+10 data, the other two games were all bizarrely inefficient, and the team also fell behind 1:2. The Oklahoma City Thunder, which is capable inside and outside, and has a more reasonable lineup, undoubtedly has more opportunities of.

In the fourth game, the tension was much greater than in the third game. Not only some teams that were 3:0, but also the other teams that fell behind 1:2 were undoubtedly very nervous.

Although there is still a chance if you lose the game, 2:2 and 3:1 are completely the difference between the two extremes of heaven and earth.

On April 4, the Charlotte Bobcats still stuck to their home court against the New Jersey Nets.

For the Nets, who have the Big Three and are determined to turn around this season, they probably regret it. If they work a little harder and win one more game, they will be able to play against the weak team of the Milwaukee Bucks. Charlotte The Bobcats left the Bulls to gnaw.

They must return to New Jersey with a score of 2:2, or they are standing on the edge of a cliff.

Before the game, the team's head coach, General Johnson, also accepted an interview with the media and expressed his belief in winning.

The game is not only a competition of players, but also the wisdom of the head coach.

In fact, in the position of head coach, Johnson was also the peak of his debut. When he was coaching the Mavericks, he helped the Mavericks reach the finals, but it was a pity that they lost to Dwyane Wade, who was a god at the time, and the league. .

The following year, he won the best head coach, and in the 06-07 season, he won the best 67 wins in team history, but lost to the Golden State Gang, which became an eternal shame.

And now coming to the Nets, they also won 60 wins.

Avery Johnson is definitely a weapon in the regular season.

The resumes of four-year NBA head coaches are 66 wins, 67 wins, 50 wins, and 60 wins. Even Popovich, the teacher who taught him, would call him an expert.

However, the weakness of the playoffs also kept Avery Johnson from being able to stand at the top. If he was hacked again this year, Avery Johnson would probably be called the essence of losing more than humans.

In the last game, Brook Lopez, who was the biggest insider threat, was defeated at the last minute, causing the game to be lost at the end, which also caused many fans to criticize.

In this game, the New Jersey Nets still offered a twin-tower lineup like the previous game.

The Charlotte Bobcats also anticipated this and promoted Yi Jianlian to the starting lineup.

In the last game, the Charlotte Bobcats' offensive rebounds almost broke the cup.

Although Yi Jianlian is not as flexible as Chris Bosh, he can still shoot three-pointers from the outside. Larry Brown finally remembered this lineup.

However, the pick and roll of Deron Williams and Chris Bosh still made the Charlotte Bobcats suffer. Although Yi Jianlian's footsteps were considered fast inside, he was still found by Deron Williams Chance.

And in this game, Joe Johnson's outside touch was very good. When the Bobcats had to tighten the inside line, Joe Johnson hit his first three-pointer.

The Charlotte Bobcats played a pick-and-roll between Brandon Roy and Zhou Lin. The pick-and-roll at the second and third positions, Zhou Lin got the ball continuously and rushed to the inside. Zhou Lin's height forced the opponent to constantly He fought with the attitude of assisting in the flank attack, and once again launched a second impact on Brandon Roy.

Brock Lopez receives his first personal foul.

If you can't limit the offensive performance of the opponent's twin towers, then what the Charlotte Bobcats can do is to find trouble on the opponent's defensive end.

Zhou Lin and Brandon Roy are naturally the top five breakthrough players in the league at their respective positions, especially Zhou Lin, who is so tall, and when he gets the ball in, it is really not very useful for you to make up for the small man , at least 2.1 meters above the inside line is enough.

And now Zhou Lin has also begun to show a cunning side. Zhou Lin, who has entered the league for the fifth year, can be regarded as an old player with a lot of experience, especially Brock Lopez, as long as you dare to move your feet , I must be looking for trouble for you, leaning on you, the referee has a high probability of calling a foul, after all, this is the home court of the Charlotte Bobcats.

This move was not deliberately arranged by Larry Brown, but after 4 minutes of the game, Brook Lopez received his second foul of personal points.

Avery Johnson hurriedly replaced Brook Lopez and complained to the referee about the previous penalties.

However, the referee ignored it.

The internal crisis of the Charlotte Bobcats was relieved a little because Brook Lopez was replaced for 2 fouls. A Chris Bosh is still easy to deal with.

However, today's New Jersey Nets really showed the feeling of a last stand. Joe Johnson shot really resolutely today. It's not like there is a saying that hesitation will lead to defeat.

Joe Johnson, who didn't hesitate, fully supported the offensive burden. On the contrary, Chris Bosh, the team's salary leader, was used as a blue-collar.

It is certain that the data of the Big Three has shrunk, but from the regular season to the playoffs, Chris Bosh's data has undoubtedly dropped the most, from 18.6 points in the regular season to 15.6 points in the first three games of the playoffs. Reese Bosh's data level has indeed dropped a lot.

Because what Chris Bosh does in many rounds is not the terminator of the round, but more as a transition of the ball.

But today's Chris Bosh is really willing to be a blue-collar worker, because Joe Johnson has been scoring high points from the beginning, facing Zhou Lin, who is half a head taller than himself, it is so difficult.

In the first quarter, Joe Johnson scored 17 points and the team led by 28 point 27-1.

Who doesn't eat dumplings during Chinese New Year, not to mention that Joe Johnson does have his own uniqueness in the field of scoring.

In the second quarter, Anthony Morrow of the second team was still a relatively stable output point.

His ability is actually not much different from that of the starter Vujacic, but it is because Anthony Morrow can explode once or twice as a substitute, and Vujacic seems to be the same as the starter and the substitute. Full, but the offensive efficiency and defensive efficiency are actually very average.

He and Brock Lopez supported the game with one inside and one outside.

But for Lopez, Zhou Lin, a resentful opponent, greeted him as soon as he came up, like a hungry wolf seeing meat, he really couldn't bear it.

Although Zhou Lin failed for the first time, but 5 minutes before the end of the second quarter, Zhou Lin's three-step slow layup seemed to be waiting for Lopez to pounce on him. As a result, Zhou Lin was well received by the referee. Taking care, Lopez ended up with his third foul depressed.

Even on the way back to the bench, Brock Lopez was still chattering.

"Brook Lopez's foul completely disrupted the deployment of the New Jersey Nets. Now, it depends on the Big Three. Among them, Joe Johnson, who can score the most points, bears the responsibility of the savior today. .”

Chris Bosh or Humphries have been doing pick-and-rolls for Joe Johnson to prevent his shots from being blocked by Zhou Lin.

"Now the whole team is creating space for Joe Johnson."

But Joe Johnson is still in full swing. You must know that the Charlotte Bobcats are actually feeling a little bit up in momentum at this moment. Zhou Lin and Brandon Roy continue to fire on the outside, while Yi Jianlian on the inside , also turned around and dunked, but Joe Johnson still held the team on his shoulders.

31 points in the half!
The Charlotte Bobcats led by 58 points 53-5.

Joe Johnson scored more than half of the New Jersey Nets' scoring.

But the Charlotte Bobcats still had the advantage in the second quarter.

After halftime, the second half came.

I don’t know if I’m too impatient. Brock Lopez came back to face Tyson in the third round. Chandler just scored a goal, but in the next round he was going to be in position again, ready to single Chandler Le, but the elbow attack was immediately caught by the referee on duty.

Brook Lopez, who was covering his head, shouted that he was wronged, but judging from the playback, Brock Lopez did not have any wrongdoing.

When Brook Lopez left the field, the Charlotte Bobcats did not waste the warmth that Lopez sent.

Chris Bosh can't complete the burden of guarding the inside by himself, but at the moment the Charlotte Bobcats are twin towers.

The Bobcats began to transfer the ball to the inside. Today, Yi Jianlian did not spit out, and hit consecutive inside hooks, and Chandler also had the advantage of the second rebound at the basket.

No one expected that the Charlotte Bobcats would take a substantial lead under the twin tower combination of Yi Jianlian and Tyson Chandler.

And there is a feeling of fighting more and more courageously.

You know, the Charlotte Bobcats were originally a team that was very good at playing in the third quarter. Although the edge has dropped sharply this season, the team is still very good at grasping the third quarter.

Chris Bosh also played a few balls here, although he could score a few sporadically, but he couldn't connect them in a row. He watched helplessly as the score was stretched to more than 15 points.

If there was no Joe Johnson today, the game would probably have been spent in the third quarter.

One minute before the end of the game, he first broke through for a layup, which caused Zhou Lin's third foul, and then made a three-pointer at the buzzer with a long shot from beyond the three-point line!

Let the game still have suspense.

89-78, the Charlotte Bobcats led by 11 points.

This is a very ambiguous score, not considered safe, but it is still double digits anyway.

If the score is expanding, the game is basically over. If the New Jersey Nets can catch up a bit, then the game is still far away.

Both Zhou Lin and Brandon Roy rested off the court at the beginning of the fourth quarter, which is also because the point difference is still in double digits.

But what Zhou Lin and Brandon Roy never expected was that they didn't have to go up and fight while they were resting.

The New Jersey Nets, with none of the Big Three resting, had a chance to close the score, but the lineup sent by the Bobcats is really helpless.

Jrue Holiday, Tony Allen, Luke Mbah a Moute, Chuck Hayes, Tyson Chandler.

They are all very defensible.

Joe Johnson was so accurate in this game, but Tony Allen looked back and picked it up, and the feel of his hand was directly taken away.

While the Charlotte Bobcats took advantage of the sharp decline in the opponent's momentum, Tony Allen actually played the middle distance.

In addition, Zhu Holiday and Tyson Chandler played consecutive defensive counterattacks.

Zhou Lin and Brandon Roy unconsciously put on their training clothes.

This game also ended with such an ending.

110-95, with a 15-point advantage to win G3, and the team with the highest plus-minus is Tyson Chandler's plus-29. It can only be said that the deal in the middle of the season is really good.

Joe Johnson scored 47 points, and Shan Ye watched helplessly as the team lost.

Now the 3-1 Charlotte Bobcats have an absolute advantage!
