This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 160 Meeting on the Plane
'The Charlotte Bobcats defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers, Zhou Lin scored [-] points to beat James'

'The Bobcats have a unique vision in the draft, Jordan made no mistakes, and brought the rising hope back to Charlotte'

'Children of Miracles make a miracle come to Charlotte, the playoffs are no longer a dream'

……

In the battle with the knights, Zhou Lin was completely blown away.

Because the Charlotte Bobcats are facing the Cleveland Cavaliers, one of the overlords in the Eastern Conference, and although Zhou Lin is not facing James most of the time, he also scored a few times in front of James. Shocking, one game is enough to match the explosive performance of two games against other teams.

Domestically, the Basketball Pioneer News was already selling like crazy, and at one time it was even faced with reprinting. Zhou Lin ordered James to make the background board picture, and it even became the cover of the Basketball Pioneer News.

Before Zhou Lin, there was only one man in China, Yao Ming, who could make James the background.

And Yao Ming, who has become a superstar now, scored 20 points in the eighth regular season game of his career. In the game against the Los Angeles Lakers, he also made the famous scene. Barkley kissed the ass of the donkey. Lin scored 20 points in the third game, which was even faster than Yao Ming's slap in the face of the American media.

At present, the newspaper of the local white reporter Fry in Charlotte has not yet published a new edition, but once it is published, if it is said that Zhou Lin is a parallel importer, it may be sprayed to death by readers.

Su Qun, the editor-in-chief of the Basketball Pioneer, wrote an article specifically for Zhou Lin to analyze the reasons for Zhou Lin's rise. The basketball system, and players who can grow up in such a competitive environment and system will definitely perform well in the future international arena.

'Go out, bring back' This is Su Qun's greatest point of view.

And Zhou Lin is such a living example.

It was Yao Ming who took it out for comparison.

China's previous entry into the NBA was all players over seven feet.

Yao Ming's basketball system and growth path are completely different from Zhou Lin's.

Yao Ming is a player trained by the Chinese basketball system. He was already 22 years old when he went to the United States and the NBA.

His ability to go out of China is related to many factors, but if Yao Ming is the same height as Zhou Lin, he may not be able to go out of China.

Compared with Yao Ming, Zhou Lin lost the crucial [-] centimeters in height.

Zhou Lin’s height, in the context of China’s population of more than one billion, even if one player is selected out of 10 people, then there are more than 1 players of this height in China. , There are also more than 100.

But the Chinese team has repeatedly lost to many small European countries with a population of only a few million.

Under the purely Chinese basketball system, Zhou Lin may not be able to go out, there is nothing wrong with it.

……

The game against the Cleveland Cavaliers ended, and Zhou Lin and Brandon Roy also ended their first week of competition.

周林三场比赛场均14分6篮板4.7助攻1.3盖帽0.7抢断。

All the data in the first week are in the top 10 rookies.

Among them, the scoring ranks third among all rookies, second only to the team's Brandon Roy's average of 15 points per game, and the Celtics' rookie Adam Morrison's average of 15 points per game.

The average of 6 rebounds per game beat Sheldon Williams, Hilton Armster, Tyrus Thomas and a series of rebounding monsters, ranked first, and Rudy Gay ranked second Yi averaged 5.8 rebounds per game.

He averaged 4.7 assists per game, ranking first among all rookies, followed by Celtic rookie Jane Rondo's 4.5 assists, and Brandon Roy's third. 3.6 assists.

The data of 1.3 blocks ranks second after Tyrus Thomas of the Bulls averaged 2 times per game.

0.66 steals, ranked 8th among rookies.

Charlotte is also starting to have sweet troubles.

Zhou Lin's average of 14+6+5 per game is excellent, but Brandon Roy's average of 15+3+3 per game is also among the best among rookies. It's the best of the week.

Now in the west, Aldridge has no record of playing.

Sheldon Williams, Tyrus Thomas, Randy Foye and other players have insufficient roles, and the average data per game cannot be supported. Rudy Gay's average data of 11.2+5.8 per game is enough to make him the first player in the Western Conference. Rookie of the Week.

Of course, the first week's data can't measure everything. As the game deepens and the rookie scene begins to strengthen, the data will most likely increase.

At present, Bargnani, the No. 4.6 pick in Toronto, is currently under the most pressure from public opinion. With an average of 3 points and [-] rebounds per game, he is facing the prediction of the worst No. [-] pick, and even encountered doubts from the local media in Toronto.

In the latest prediction of the best rookie of the year, Zhou Lin ranked first, Brandon Roy of the same team ranked third, Rudy Gay ranked second, Adam Morris Ranked fourth.

Bargnani, Aldridge, and the other two top five picks missed the top ten.

Randy Foye was eighth and Tyrus Thomas sixth.

After the lottery, Ronnie Brewer ranked fifth, Rajon Rondo ranked seventh, and Jordan Farmar ranked tenth. Daniel Gibson, the second-round pick of the Cavaliers, rushed forward Ten, ranked ninth.

NBA officials are still very humane. Regarding the happiness and troubles of the Bobcats, the final answer is that Zhou Lin and Brandon Roy shared the best rookie in the first week of the 2006-2007 season in the Eastern Conference.

The best rookie in the Eastern Conference GET in the first week, 20 challenge coins were pocketed, and it was also a joy.

In the west, Rudy Gay was elected without any suspense.

The rise of Zhou Lin and Brandon Roy also made Charlotte's sluggish football market start to rise. Zhou Lin's jersey sales began to rise sharply. Well, Brandon Roy's jersey sales also began to increase. Even almost overshadowed the team's No.1 Gerald Wallace.

After three days, Zhou Lin and Brandon Roy went to Boston Garden as the best rookie in the Eastern Conference for the first week.

Adam Morrison, who is also a contender for the best rookie, is quite critical of Zhou Lin and Brandon Roy being given the best rookie of the week in the Eastern Conference. Adam Morrison, who originally belonged to Charlotte, came to Boston. Before the game, Adam Morrison and the local media in Boston blatantly argued that he was the No. 1 pick for the best rookie. Charlotte is starting to regret it.

In Boston, apart from the resentful Adam Morris, Zhou Lin also met two old opponents, Gerald Green and Rajon Rondo. At this time, Gerald Green was sitting on the bench in the Celtics , and for this game, Jane Rondo was not on the activation list and just watched the game in a suit.

After subduing LeBron James, Gerald Wallace once again encountered the top small forward in the East, Paul Pierce, who is also known as the offensive kaleidoscope. At this time, the truth Paul Pierce is fighting alone with the Celtics , Almost alone carried the team forward, lost to the Hornets, Pistons, and Wizards in the first week of the season, suffered a three-game losing streak at the beginning of the season, and was eager to seek a victory.

And Paul Pierce has held back for three games, and finally found a soft persimmon like the Charlotte Bobcats.

Although the Bobcats have defensive first team Gerald Green, the best third defensive player.

But Paul Pierce was still red-eyed, scoring 36 points, 13 rebounds and 6 assists in the game.

Of course, the downside is that Paul Pierce, who is also a father and mother, also had a career-high 12 turnovers.

An alternative triple-double achievement.

This is a typical pecking game. After Raymond Felton defeated the team in the last game, this game started again. Two mistakes at the critical moment made the team finally Lost to North Shore Garden 110-108.

Zhou Lin and Brandon Roy performed quite well.

周林9中4，砍下14分4篮板4助攻，布兰登罗伊12中6，砍下13分3助攻。

And Adam Morrison, who was talking nonsense before the game, although the team put him on the court early, but this gentleman really didn't feel online. He was 4 of 1 from outside the three-point line and 7 of 2 in the game. He played in 27 minutes Time, only scored 5 points and 3 rebounds, and the plus-minus value was the lowest in the team -10.

The loss of this game made the team look very uncomfortable.

Gerald Wallace, the leader of the team and the speaker of the locker room, held a meeting with all the players on the return plane.

"Listen guys, we gotta make some changes."

Gerald Wallace's opening tone was very high: "I have played in the NBA for the seventh year, longer than most of your players. Today we lost the game against Boston. Tomorrow We could lose in Phoenix, in Toronto, Los Angeles, New Jersey, hey, don't make it a habit."

"I'm not really a very good leader, but I want to try and work hard, and I hope I can lead the team out of the trough as soon as possible."

Gerald Wallace said like a speech: "Since we won Cleveland last time, Zhou Lin sent me a lot of text messages, he said, hey, Cleveland is nothing but LeBron James , Gerrard, you guarded James, really, you guarded James, LeBron James is no more than you in front of you, we can obviously play this performance in many games, but why can't we stick to it ?”

All the players looked at Zhou Lin, including Brandon Roy.

Most of the players were relatively quiet during their rookie period. They never said too much, and they were not very good at expressing their opinions. player of.

In fact, Zhou Lin texted Gerald Wallace after the away game against the Grizzlies, telling Gerald Wallace that he hated losing.

And after winning the Cleveland Cavaliers, Gerald Wallace also began to look seriously at the young man in front of him.

He is a very hardworking player, but his efforts are limited to individuals, just like you can be a good employee with first-class business ability, but sometimes you can't be a good leader because you can't know people and make good use of them .

His heart is desperate to win, but what about the rest of the team.

He stayed with the team for two full seasons, but the team only won 42 games in the two seasons combined.

"Everyone is saying, we can take our time, the team is still in the stage of accumulating talent, but can we ignore the victory? Isn't the essence of the game to win?"

"Yes, we are all too selfish, including me, Redmond, Emeka, and Melvin, we are all the same, swiping data, grabbing shots, and being selfish for the amount of the next contract, in all fairness , there is nothing wrong with it, but if every player does this, it will only make your career worse and worse. A player who can't even play well in the Bobcats, will other teams want you, regardless of this , how many of us take training seriously, every training day, the first to arrive is always Brandon and Zhou, Raymond, Carol, how many training sessions have you been absent or late for? Body management is also a huge problem."

"Holding a big contract with a million-dollar salary, I think I can sit back and relax without any aggressiveness. This is the status quo of many of our players."

"Zhou Lin told me that he entered George Mason University when he was in college. He led a group of players who gave up from NCAA famous schools, and defeated those who used to despise one by one, the alma mater of Raymond and McGinnis. The same is true for the University of North Carolina. In the end, he and his George Mason University ranked first in the United States. This is what Zhou Lin and George Mason University finally did. It sounds like a story, but it is more like a Miracle."

Gerald Wallace said: "Why can't we do it again, we have probably the best group of rookies in recent years, Emeka, Redmond, Zhou Lin, Brandon, we can try to Let's go, don't let the hat of loser always be on our heads."

"We are all professional players. Many things, team managers and coaches, can no longer control us. We will also have a lot of money, which can be squandered, nostalgic for nightclubs, clubs and casinos, and try to do many exciting things that we could not do before. There are also beauties, luxury cars and mansions... But, I hope that everyone can take every game, every training session, and every trainer's suggestion seriously on the premise of enjoying themselves."

Gerald Wallace's tirade did not work for every player, but as the boss of the team, most of the players were still convinced by what he said.

"The goal this year is to make it to the playoffs!"

Gerald Wallace said: "We are brothers in the trenches. We should push each other forward. Good results and good statistics require a lot of training and hard work."

"I agree, I won't miss training sessions again."

"Me too, I promise to get enough sleep on the day of the game, and I won't go out to mess around."

Slowly, some people began to express their opinions.

Then all the players finally raised their hands high and got together...
