This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 164 Kobe Bryant YYDS
The game in December was tough for the Charlotte Bobcats. Before Christmas, the Western powers, the Spurs, the Rockets, the Suns, and the Jazz took turns to abuse them.

There are also three playoff teams from last season, the Detroit Pistons, the Washington Wizards and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

In 12 games in December before Christmas, the Charlotte Bobcats had only three victories over the Detroit Pistons, Orlando Magic and Utah Jazz.

It made the whole team feel much worse for Christmas.

With 11 wins and 17 losses, the Charlotte Bobcats' ranking has fallen to No.11 in the Eastern Conference.

However, Zhou Lin and Brandon Roy's performance in December was peerless. In addition to the head-to-head battle with the powerful Phoenix Suns, they both scored 20+ data. In the game against the New York Knicks, Zhou Lin scored 17 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists in a quasi-triple-double performance. In the next day's victory over the Jazz, Brandon Roy scored 5 points in a row to kill the game and scored 22 points in the game. In the loss to the Chicago Bulls, Zhou Lin broke the scoring record again, reaching 25 points.

In the selection of the best rookie in the East, Zhou Lin won the best rookie in the East in the first and third weeks of December, while Brandon Roy won the best rookie in the East in the second week of December.

So far, the best rookie of the Eastern Conference has only been transferred out once in November.

In the second half of December, the rookies began to stretch their strides one after another.

On the Eastern side, Celtics rookie Adam Morrison averaged 12.5 points per game, but after the game against the Philadelphia 12ers on December 13, he faced Denver, the Bobcats, and the Warriors. , 76-for-7, 1-for-8 and other low-efficiency performances in a row, and even scored less than 2 points in 5 consecutive games, with a shooting percentage of less than 10%, and was once sidelined by coach Doug Rivers. What is worrying about his performance is that Bargnani only scored single digits in the few games before Christmas. On the 3rd, when he faced the Kings on the 23rd, he scored 7 of 1 and only scored 3 points.

In the West, Rudy Gay, who has won the Western Conference Rookie of the Week several times, also scored less than 4 points 10 times in the past five games before Christmas, namely 4 points, 17 points, 9 points, and 1 point , 8 points.

LaMarcus Aldridge, who got a chance to play in mid-to-late November, got off to a good start, scoring in double figures in 11 of the first 7 games, and in that week, he won from Rudy Gay. Won the Western Conference Rookie of the Week.

It's just that Aldridge has played records in 12 games since December, but 6 games were zero, and the other 2 games scored less than 5 points.

Even the prediction of the best rookie team has no Aldridge's share.

Even Brandon Roy, in addition to scoring 22 points against the Jazz, in two of the last five games, Brandon Roy scored less than 5 points.

A collective blackout for rookies.

It also made most team managers and commentators think that the rookie wall is coming, and it is really coming.

The reason for the so-called rookie wall is also easy to explain.

After all, it is the higher intensity of competition training that makes the body feel overloaded and the performance declines.

The intensity of the NBA game began to make the rookie players who first landed in the NBA feel uncomfortable. At a higher level, they have to play nearly 90 games (including preseason games) more intensively, and the time span is as short as one month. In the NCAA league, most players only need about 1 games, and the dense schedule begins to make most rookies uncomfortable.

The concentrated appearance time is from late December to early February before the All-Star Game.

Zhou Lin took advantage of the Christmas holidays to bring his mother and younger sister over from China. Zhou Lin only found out when he started playing in November that his mother divorced her second husband in the middle of the year, and her mother raised her younger sister alone. It's really not easy, so Zhou Lin plans to let his mother come to the United States to live permanently, and now his salary can afford the rent and daily expenses. As for buying a house, Zhou Lin thinks it will take some time.

On December 12, the Bobcats played against the 26-20 Dallas Mavericks, the first place in the West. Brandon Roy and Zhou Lin Qiqi misfired. Zhou Lin scored 7 of 10 and only scored 4 points, while Brandon Roy It was 9 of 6 and only scored 1 points.

Unlike other teams, the status of the 2006 rookies is generally not high.

Zhou Lin has started 27 games in the current 27 games. With full attendance, he averaged 15.2 points per game and ranked second in the team, second only to Gerald Wallace's 16.8 points. There are also 25 starts in 25 games. Landon Roy's 13.8 points ranked fourth in the team, only 14.2 points less than the 0.4 points of third-ranked Emeka Okafor, and 12.8 points lower than that of fifth-ranked Raymond Okafor. Felton's 1 points are [-] point more.

Zhou Lin and Brandon Roy have become the backbone of the Bobcats. Zhou Lin's 5.3 assists per game is also ranked second in the team, second only to Raymond Felton's 6.5.

The performance of Zhou Lin and Brandon Roy has almost become a barometer for the Bobcats.

As far as the Bobcats are concerned, this season, they are determined to make it to the playoffs, but judging from this situation, the Bobcats seem to be struggling again.

After losing to the Dallas Mavericks, the Bobcats lost to the visiting Washington Wizards by 5 points at home. Zhou Lin scored 16 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists. His performance was acceptable, while Brandon Roy continued to slump. At the same time of 5 in 1, he was demoted to the bench for the first time, and was squeezed out of the starting position by white guard Matt Carroll.

With 10 wins and 18 losses, the Charlotte Bobcats are 3.5 games away from the top eight threshold.

Brandon Roy also talked to Zhou Lin.

Zhou Lin did have games where he didn't score in double figures, but he never had two games in a row.

Even though Bernie Bickerstaff didn't like his type of players at the beginning of the season, Zhou Lin beat the head coach with his down-to-earth performance. He averaged 28 minutes per game in 28 games and 34.5 games. Number one.

"Don't you feel tired? I feel like my body is malfunctioning, like an overloaded machine."

Brandon Roy feels that he is already a very hard-working player, but compared to Zhou Lin, he feels that he is still a bit worse. The yellow-skinned kid in front of him is like a machine that never knows how to get tired, and You can give yourself chicken blood anytime, anywhere.

"Just like running a marathon, there will always be a certain distance that will make you feel uncomfortable, but as long as you can grit your teeth and break through the bottleneck, breaking the physical and psychological limits, you will not feel so tired and you will become stronger, so persist and Confidence is the source of breaking everything."

Zhou Lin can only comfort Brandon Roy in this way, because he can't say that he has a system that others don't have.

Zhou Lin also used the system's ability to heal some hidden diseases in his body in a few games, so he is healthier than other rookies in terms of energy and physical fitness.

The rookie wall, this thing, does not exist to Zhou Lin.

On December 2006, 12, the Charlotte Bobcats played against the Los Angeles Lakers at home.

As the penultimate game in 2006, the Bobcats ushered in the Purple and Gold Army and ushered in the violent Kobe.

This is Kobe Bryant's first season with No. 24.

After a long offseason, Bryant recovered from a knee injury and changed his No. 8 to No. 24.

When others speculated whether he chose No. 24 to match Jordan's No. 23, he just replied lightly that No. 24 is 24 hours, and I hope to put all my energy into it.

At this time, Kobe was at the peak of his career. Pau Gasol hadn't come yet. Ke Walton is still playing for the Lakers, and he is still the backbone of the team.

Beside him stood Smush Parker, May Brown, Orion Cook, Luke Walton and other players.

It can be seen that the immediate combat power of other players on this team except Kobe is not strong.

After the Sharks left Miami, Kobe had to turn on the berserk mode. As long as he wanted, he could throw 30 balls and score 40 and 50 points on a certain night.

This season Kobe will average about 23 shots per game, with a shooting percentage of about 46%, and a three-point shooting percentage of less than 35%.

Kobe Bryant's All-Star teammate CBA, this sentence is not too exaggerated in the current Lakers.

Without the blessing of the big sharks, this is also the task that Kobe must start to take on the task of shielding the team from wind and rain.

Last season, Kobe played the highest scoring season of his career, averaging 35.4 points per game. Coupled with the arrival of Zen master May Jackson, the team entered the playoffs again, but lost to The Phoenix Suns where Nash is located.

The Los Angeles Lakers, who are currently 19 wins and 10 losses this season, are only ranked seventh in the Western Conference. They may fall behind in the Wild West at any time. The situation is similar to last year. It is basically predictable that they will advance to the playoffs in the second half. game.

In the West, even if you win half of the regular season games, you may not be guaranteed to qualify.

For the Lakers, for the Zijin Corps, for Kobe, the Eastern underdog Bobcats, this is a game that must be won.

For the Bobcats, which only won three games this month, they also need a victory to boost morale.

The Lakers are also doing well recently. Except for losing to Wade's Heat in the Christmas game, they won the other three games against the New Jersey Nets, Minnesota Timberwolves, and Orlando Magic.

And CCTV-5 also broadcast the game live, and Zhang Weiping and Su Qun partnered to explain the game.

Misha, her mother Xu Fanghua and her cute younger sister Su Qiaoyun all put on Zhou Lin's jerseys and came to help Zhou Lin out.

For the Bobcats, the regular starter Brandon Roy was placed on the bench again, and Slovenian center Brezek was eligible to start.

There is also Gerald Wallace, who was placed in the second position, and today his goal is to lock down Kobe, the opponent's arrow.

If he can really lock Bryant, then the Lakers basically difficult to beat the Bobcats.

However, Kobe, who opened violently, seemed to be alone in defense, and no one could stop him.

The first generation of "Reaper" Smash Parker is Kobe's backcourt partner, and the player at the small forward position opposite Zhou Lin is Luke Walton, and Brian Cook and Kwame Brown partner inside , formed the starting lineup.

Before the game started, Zhou Lin walked over and greeted Kobe.

Kobe asked Zhou Lindao: "How are you doing? A rookie, you haven't encountered the rookie wall yet, why don't you try it today."

Uh, Corvo, do you always talk like this?

"I will do my best to play this game well." Zhou Lin said with a smile.

"Good luck, rookie."

Kobe patted Zhou Lin's butt to end the pleasantries.

In Zhou Lin's world, Kobe had already fallen, and a helicopter accident caused Kobe to fall at a young age. As one of the idols from childhood to adolescence to work, Zhou Lin felt endless emotion in his heart when he saw Kobe again.

At this moment, Zhou Lin does not need to look up to Kobe with the eyes of an idol, but only needs to challenge Kobe with all his strength.

After Kobe also exchanged pleasantries, his eyes began to darken.

The inner desire for victory made Kobe look like a beast during the game.

In the opening stage, Kobe turned on the scoring mode. Facing Gerald Wallace, one of the defensive champions in the league, the battle between the two was comparable to hand-to-hand combat. Gerald Wallace Desperate Saburo, once he meets a superstar player, he will get excited. The current Kobe is the number one star in the league, and he is even more excited, so every time Kobe needs to wrestle with Gerald Wallace at least three or four times Only after that can you get the chance to catch the ball.

Gerald Wallace is also impossible to give Kobe a good shot choice, whether it is a breakthrough or a shot, Kobe needs to do too much to get rid of.

Of course, Kobe's strong shooting ability is definitely the first in the league.

Zhou Lin also felt that Kobe could complete various actions after the confrontation, and he felt that this was a player who was close to a "god".

Many Internet trolls say that Kobe is the iron king, but a player can take more than 20 shots per game when surrounded by the strongest defenders of the opponent team. The requirements for physical fitness and technology are so demanding , and to what extent should it be raised.

And how many times Kobe's shots are difficult.

His blacksmithing is due to his personality and circumstances. In the years between O'Neal's departure and Gasol's absence from the Lakers, everyone knew that holding Kobe down was equivalent to winning the Lakers.

Today's Kobe is extremely smooth. Even though Gerald Wallace has exhausted all his defensive skills, Kobe can still lean back with super difficulty, or fold up to the layup like a twist.

All this happened before Zhou Lin's eyes, and he looked at Kobe like a monster.

Started with 3 consecutive hits!

Really YYDS...
