This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 434 2-2, another victory!
Charlotte Bobcats star Zhou Lin has a fractured nose bone, and it is doubtful to play in G4!

The next day this news became the most lively news in the NBA. Now the Charlotte Bobcats have won the series 1-2, behind the New York Knicks. The G4 game can be said to be very important.

Once G4 loses, then this round of the series is still useless, even if Zhou Lin can return later!

The instigator Amare Stoudemire was hailed as Robert Horry of the Spurs in 07, regardless of whether his actions were within the allowable range of the NBA, but the New York Knicks were only 20 points behind. With less than 4 minutes left in the game, is it appropriate to behave like this?

The person involved, Stoudemire, did not come forward to say anything, but said briefly at the press conference after the game: This is just a game!

Instead, LeBron James expressed his prayers for Zhou Lin's injury on social media.

Can the bridge of the nose be used for games?
The answer is of course yes. Wearing a mask to play. There is a famous mask man Hamilton in the NBA. Because of the premise of multiple injuries to the bridge of the nose, he simply wore a mask to play games, and even the mask once became one of Hamilton’s image characteristics. one.

But the average player is really not used to wearing a protective mask to play games. Firstly, the vision is affected, and secondly, it is indeed uncomfortable to sweat while playing.

The most important thing is how serious the injury of the bridge of the nose is. After all, Zhou Lin's social status is there now, and Zhou Lin's commercial value is very high. If the fracture of the bridge of the nose is too serious, it may affect many things.

Moreover, the medical team of the Charlotte Bobcats will also be graded. If Zhou Lin's injury reaches a certain level, then Zhou Lin will not be allowed to play with the injury. After all, once the opponent hits the bridge of the nose, the injury may be exacerbated. , with some unforeseen consequences.

But Zhou Lin still appeared in the team in G4.

Although it has been treated, there are still signs of swelling on the bridge of the nose, and Zhou Lin, who is wearing a transparent mask, also takes off the mask from time to time. After all, it is quite uncomfortable to wear it for the first time.

The team doctor also helped Zhou Lin adjust Dai's position from time to time.

"How can I not fight at this time, but ah, it's my first time playing as a masked man, and I'm still not used to it!"

Facing a Chinese reporter interviewing Zhou Lin, he said with a smile: "This is a game. I am used to injuries. Stoudemire didn't do it on purpose, and there is no need to go too far to say that he did it on purpose. After all, he was a little anxious. Already!"

After the interview, the competition is about to begin.

"In this game, I will try to keep your playing time within 30 minutes!" Larry Brown looked at Zhou Lin and said, "If you feel any discomfort, please tell me as soon as possible!"

Zhou Lin's fractured nose bone has actually exceeded the level where he can play safely. This appearance is also the result of Zhou Lin himself and the team after a long discussion.

During the jump ball, LeBron James asked about Zhou Lin's situation. Zhou Lin said that everything was fine and your troubles would continue.

But after all, Zhou Lin's nasal bone fracture still affected Zhou Lin.

First, Zhou Lin subconsciously protects his face when he breaks through to the inside line. Although Zhou Lin is trying to overcome this, the fear of pain cannot be overcome.

Second, although it is a transparent mask, it will indeed be slightly affected in terms of shooting.

And the opponent will not restrain you because of your injury. LeBron James defending Zhou Lin is the most vigorous. Originally, LeBron James basically would not step on the three-point line to defend. Zhou Lin Although his three-point shooting efficiency has improved in this round of the series, it has hovered around 37%, but Zhou Lin's most murderous thing is his breakthrough. His height, physical coordination, and the probability of entering the penalty area and completing shots all let The New York Knicks are very afraid here.

But in today's game, it is clear that you can break through and try, but I will definitely not let you shoot easily. It is a conspiracy theory. LeBron James is very willing to rush to the inside of Zhou Lin, whether it is here. Because of the fear of injury, he was unable to make effective offensive methods.

In this game, Zhou Lin clearly sensed the opponent's defensive intentions in the first quarter.

Brandon Roy has become the main target of this game and is also the actual controller of the ball. Although his opponent is Dwyane Wade, this game requires Brandon Roy to stand up.

No Charlotte Bobcats player wants to go to the New York Knicks with a 1-3 deficit.

Zhou Lin didn't hold the ball here, or what he did was to over-react. This move is also a very good choice. With Roy's pick-and-roll, Roy also scored inside consecutively.

He even threw himself into the air before talking!
In this game, Roy also worked hard. For the team, his value can only be reflected at this point in time. After all, the Charlotte Bobcats are known as the twin stars. This season is due to injuries. , he has missed enough games!
The DJ at the home court kept calling Brandon Roy's name over and over again, and Zhou Lin wearing a mask kept appearing on the big screen, and the subtitles kept reminding Zhou Lin what it was like to suffer. injuries.

After playing 6 minutes in the first quarter, Zhou Lin came down with 4 of 1, 3 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists. According to the normal game rhythm, Zhou Lin now has to play for at least 3 minutes, but today Larry Brown obviously wanted to control Zhou Lin's appearance time, but ah, Zhou Lin's substitute, Francisco Garcia, has the possibility of becoming a surprise player in the playoffs, as a trade for Tyson Chandler The chip came to the Charlotte Bobcats. Garcia was always in a tepid situation, but Garcia's three-pointer was still stable.

In the first round of the playoffs, he shot more than 45% and averaged 1.5 three-pointers per game. In the second round, his playing time began to be on par with Luke Mbah a Moute, who is good at defense. And in this round of the series, although his hit rate has dropped, Garcia, who still maintains above 40%, has become an important chess piece for Larry Brown.

If you don't occupy the ball, squatting in the bottom corner is a big threat!
It can only be said that Garcia came well, and it is easy to think of Mike Dunleavy who played in the Charlotte Bobcats two years ago. At this moment, Dunleavy has changed teams for the second time.

After Garcia went up, a three-pointer made Charlotte Bobcats fans feel like they had taken a reassurance.

At least Zhou Lin can hold the stalemate in the end!
At the end of the first quarter, the Charlotte Bobcats led by two points 28-26.

Larry Brown replaced Zhou Lin early, not only to protect Zhou Lin, but also to allow Zhou Lin to stagger the time to find the feeling when he was on the bench.

Facing the defense of his opponent Wilson Chandler or Jerry Stackhouse, Zhou Lin was a little more optimistic at the time, and after losing two consecutive three-pointers, he finally made a shot The first three-pointer of the game is up!
Zhou Lin was also constantly touching and adjusting the protective mask. It was indeed uncomfortable to wear it for the first time in a competition.

Zhou Lin's playing time in the first half was basically concentrated in the time period of the bench, and he did not face LeBron James' defense. Zhou Lin scored 8 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists in 4 of 3 in the first half.

And after Zhou Lin left the field, today's Brandon Roy completed the task of the main attacker very well, and Larry Brown also sent people up to pick and roll with Brandon Roy. Roy clearly continued Use the screen to hit the key ball.

The New York Knicks are constantly making fuss about LeBron James, and Garcia is indeed not good at defending LeBron James, so most of the time they need to help defend or make up defenses. Of course Fortunately, today's Stephen Curry has missed 5 goals in a row from outside the three-point line. For a three-point shooter, this is simply devastating.

However, Curry's assists today were not bad, and he made several good passes to LeBron James.

At the end of the half, the Charlotte Bobcats led the opponent by 53 points 51-2. With Zhou Lin only playing 11 minutes in the first half, the Charlotte Bobcats stabilized the situation.

In the second half, Zhou Lin's playing time will naturally increase.

In the third quarter, the New York Knicks were the first to play a small climax, or the cliché defensive counterattack. Dwyane Wade and LeBron James are both offensive and defensive players in the league. Of course, Wade's defensive ability is still Can't enter the level of the best defensive team, limited by the height of 1.93 meters, but the statistics of steals and blocks, in fact, Wade is much better than many standard-sized second positions.

In addition, Stephen Curry also took advantage of the confusion of the game, and finally started to make up after 5-of-0. He made two consecutive three-pointers from the outside, helping the New York Knicks to play a 14-5 offensive climax. It also took advantage of the trend to stop the Charlotte Bobcats.

Larry Brown's timeout took effect very quickly. With Zhou Lin as the secondary attacker, Brandon Roy really wanted to turn the tide today. First, he received a kick from the inside and buzzer Hit the board for a three-pointer, and then made a foul on Dwyane Wade on the defensive end.

In the case of Brandon Roy's outstanding performance, Zhou Lin's three-pointer from the bottom corner also helped his score reach double digits, and it also improved the momentum of the Charlotte Bobcats.

After the Charlotte Bobcats played a 9-0 climax, the game also entered a state of anxiety.

Both sides began to grasp the defense, and the scoring efficiency of both sides has also come down, and the point difference leads alternately.

77-76, the New York Knicks came to the fourth quarter with a 1-point advantage!

Zhou Lin started to play the first half of the fourth quarter. Under the tentativeness of the third quarter, Zhou Lin began to trust his body a little more. Finally, in the fourth quarter, Zhou Lin entered the opponent's penalty area for the first time and created Foul by Amare Stoudemire who broke his nose.

Although the scoring data is mediocre, and only 12 points are recorded at the moment, Zhou Lin still heard the fans shouting MVP without hesitation at the free throw line!
Zhou Lin made two consecutive free throws!
Since then, although Zhou Lin has not made much achievements on the offensive end, another Chinese player, Yi Jianlian, has frequently eaten cakes that Zhou Lin fed to his mouth!

Zhou Lin played more than 4 minutes in the fourth quarter, giving the Charlotte Bobcats a 4-point lead. The high-five between Zhou Lin and Brandon Roy seemed to be handing over the scepter.

"Zhou Lin will most likely not come back until the last few minutes of the game, and now Brandon Roy needs to stand up again!"

At this moment, Brandon Roy has scored a game-high 31 points with 7 assists and 6 rebounds, which can be called the strongest battle in the playoffs.

The New York Knicks also wanted to take advantage of Zhou Lin's off-court time to stage a three-English battle against Lu Bu with Brandon Roy, but Zhu Holiday went inside twice in a row, creating a situation where Amare Stoudemire's fifth foul, let the opponent's plan fail.

"Holiday, these two kills are really decisive. Although free throws are average, New York will now enter the 5 minutes without Stoudemire!"

The Charlotte Bobcats began to focus on attacking the opponent's inside line. David Lee is the most comfortable one without the restriction of Amare Stoudemire.

With 2 minutes and 59 seconds left in the fourth quarter, the Charlotte Bobcats led the opponent by 99 points 90-9, and in this game, the inside line of the Charlotte Bobcats was the first since the start of the series. This time it took the overall upper hand.

Stoudemire, who had five fouls on his back, also came back on the field, which means that the final battle has come!

As soon as Stoudemire came back, he succeeded in eating cakes from the inside continuously, and when the point difference was only 5 points away, Zhou Lin made the most critical three-pointer from the outside!

104-96，夏洛特山猫队在剩下1分07秒的时候，领先优势依旧还在8分，这就需要最起码3个回合能追回来了！

The Knicks immediately rushed to attack, but Stephen Curry, who was in a hurry, made a three-point shot.

Looking back, the Knicks could only foul on Tyson Chandler.

However, Chandler was not ambiguous at all, and made two free throws in a row!

Now the New York Knicks are gone, and Dwyane Wade's layup will not help!
The Charlotte Bobcats stopped fighting, and Brandon Roy scored 2 points, holding the victory tightly in the palm of his hand!

The score was fixed at 108-98, and the Charlotte Bobcats beat the New York Knicks by 10 points.

In this campaign, Zhou Lin scored 15 of 6, scored 15 points, 8 assists and 6 rebounds, but being able to come back is already a very encouraging decision!

And Brandon Roy's 37 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists also caught Zhou Lin's temporary scepter very well!
2-2, tied.

Everything seems to be back to square one!
The fifth game of the game, the battle of Tianwangshan, will return to the Madison Garden Arena again!
