This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 187 Opening the Halo of the Playoffs
'How are you feeling, lad? '

"I watched your game. Facing James is another start for you. He is a great player, so you have to accept the loss or the loss"

After the game, 'Magic' Johnson suddenly sent a message.

'Defending LeBron is really the hardest thing I've ever done'

'However, as you said, everything is just beginning, I will try to do everything well'

'If I have time, I'll come back to Charlotte to watch your game'

……

Learning to accept setbacks is also something every player needs to do. After all, there are [-] teams in each season, but only one team can stand at the top.

The Quicken Loans Center on the next day did not leave much hope for the Charlotte Bobcats. After only scoring 12 points and 7 assists in the previous game, Zhou Lin in the second game was still playing against LeBron. . James lost miserably against the confrontation.

9 of 3 shots, 9 points and 6 assists.

After 8 playoff games, Zhou Lin's score fell below 10 points for the first time.

The Charlotte Bobcats also lost to the mighty Cleveland Cavaliers 21-82 by 103 points.

With a series score of 0-2, Zhou Lin and his teammates returned to the home court of the Charlotte Bobcats.

After three days off, the Charlotte Bobcats host the Cleveland Cavaliers.

0-2, in history, there is still a chance for a comeback, and 0-3, no team in history has been able to comeback.

Therefore, G3 at home is a game that all players want to win.

相比于上一轮比赛周林豪华的21+6+5的数据，次轮的系列赛前两场比赛周林只有场均10.5分6.5助攻，并且伴有4.5次的场均失误。

Zhou Lin's performance has also become a barometer for the Charlotte Bobcats.

But for Zhou Lin, there is a good thing coming, that is, he won the first big honor in his NBA career.

Best Rookie!

In fact, the quota for the best rookie was determined a few days earlier, and the simple awards ceremony was returned to the home court.

Magic Johnson really came, as well as his own university head coach, as well as Wang Hanxiang, mother Xu Fanghua, and Misha were all present.

Under the gaze of Zhou Lin's relatives and friends, Zhou Lin stood under the spotlight to accept the honor.

It is a pity that Zhou Lin missed the chance to become the new best rookie with all the first ballots.

But the 127 first-place votes have proved Zhou Lin's dominance in the regular season, and the only first-place vote was voted for No. [-] pick Bargnani by a wayward Canadian reporter.

Well, exactly the same as Brandon Roy in history.

In the regular season this season, Zhou Lin played 72 games, averaging 34.5 minutes per game, averaging 16.1 points, 5.9 assists, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks per game. The three shooting percentages were 36.3%/48.9%/87.5%.

Among them, the average points and assists per game ranked first among rookies in 2006, and Hilton Armstrong ranked second with 5.7 rebounds after the Warriors. In addition, he also ranked the top three and top five in steals and blocks.

'Won the 2006-2007 NBA Rookie of the Year award and received 300 challenge coins'

The voice from the system surprised Zhou Lin. The time Zhou Lin got the most rewards so far was the best of the week, but it was only 100 challenge coins. The best rookie of the month only has 50 and 80 challenge coins respectively.

The data panel appeared in Zhou Lin's mind.

Remaining challenge coins: 506.

The illustrations of the representative gatekeepers are as follows:

2005-2006 LeBron James (improved dunk success rate) 5-star (refresh times 5)

2005-2006 Dwyane Wade (improved breakthrough success rate) 5-star (refresh times 3)

2006-2007 Shaq O'Neal (increased inside confrontation rate) 4-star (refresh 7)

Is the playoff aura turned on?

(Tip 1: Players only need 500 challenge coins to open. The longer the number of years, the higher the opening fee, which increases by 25% every year)

(Tip 2: Turn on the aura of the playoffs, and play in the playoffs can steadily increase the bonus of 25% of all attributes, and the accumulation can only be turned on once in the career).

All attributes! 25%!

Although it is expensive, it is really arrogant!

It’s just that after a season of tossing, there are only less than 2000 challenge coins, and the benefit of the best rookie is only available in the first year. Except for the occasional loss of the best rookie of the week, it is basically stable every month. There are over 200 challenge coins.

In the second year, in the next season, I can only compete with the league stars for the best of the week, the best of the month, the best team, and even the high-level honor of MVP. It is foreseeable that my income from challenge coins will increase. Significantly shrunk.

But it is also the most cost-effective to open it now, and next year this halo will cost 625 challenge coins.

……

With the halo of the playoffs, in addition to the shooting ability, breaking through the S level, there are three other items that have also reached the S level, but they are all in quotation marks. After leaving the playoffs stage, they will disappear immediately. Of course, Zhou Lin The savings also returned to before liberation overnight.

……

Jordan personally awarded the trophy to Zhou Lin, and Zhou Lin also found Brandon Roy.

In fact, it was Zhou Lin who took away Brandon Roy's Rookie of the Year award.

Despite the change of fate, Brandon Roy played 59 games this season, started 47 games, averaged 29.8 minutes per game, averaged 12.4 points, 3.7 assists, 3.2 rebounds, 0.8 steals, and three shooting percentages They are 34.3%/45.5%/88.3%, respectively, and many statistics are among the top five rookies.

"The Charlotte Bobcats have another best rookie." Zhou Lin asked the host for the microphone and said, "Brandon Roy! My brother, one of the most trustworthy teammates, he has the ability and Eligibility has the same honor as mine."

"Brandon, how about we hold this trophy high together?"

Brandon Roy and Zhou Lin embraced each other, and then together with Zhou Lin raised the best rookie trophy high.

The whole audience responded with strong applause and cheers without hesitation.

Then teammates, coaches, and members of the working group came to hug each other.

"Let's try to win this game."

After a brief awards ceremony, the Charlotte Bobcats were once again in battle mode.

This is a game of the last stand.

"The Charlotte Bobcats lineup still challenged, put Brandon Roy in the starting lineup, and Walter Herman also entered the starting lineup."

CCTV5 is broadcasting the game live. The commentator and guests are Yu Jia and Duan Ran respectively.

"This is also an adjustment made by the Bobcats on their own initiative. After all, the big lineup in the first two games did not have any good results. It is worth mentioning that the players in this lineup, except Okafor , all of them have the ability to shoot three-pointers. Walter Herman from Argentina has made 46% of his three-pointers this season. Although it has dropped slightly in the playoffs, it has reached more than 40%. Bernie. Kerstaff is a living chess player, and I don’t know if he will bring some changes to the Charlotte Bobcats after his first start in the playoffs.”

Duan Ran said: "Yu Jia, have you noticed another peculiarity of this lineup? Other than Okafor, Zhou Lin, Brandon Roy, and Walter Herman are all first-year rookies, but in the starting lineup, the oldest is Walter Herman, who was born in 1979, but he But he has just landed in the NBA this year, and he is just a month away from turning 28. It is indeed his first season in the first year."

"Being able to land in the NBA at this age is also the insight of the Bobcats."

"Walter Herman played very well in this year's Japanese Men's Basketball World Championships. Many South American or European players are getting older and more bewitching. 28 years old is the most golden age group. In fact, it is really not them. No strength, but ah, many times some foreign players are not very willing to play in the NBA. Part of the reason is political factors, but more of it is that the salary in the NBA is not high enough to a certain level, which is not much different from that in China. Under the circumstances, many players still like to play in China, after all, can they be with their families?"

"Well, let's get down to business. Bernie Bickerstaff has made a bold change. Let's wait and see if there will be any miraculous effects."

The Cleveland Cavaliers naturally did not change their lineup, after all, they won the first two games.

Larry Hughes, LeBron James, Sasha Pavlovic, Drew Gooden, Zdrunas Ilgauskas.

With a height advantage over Okafor of more than 10 centimeters, Big Z easily helped the team win the first wave of possession.

The change made by the Bobcats, allowing Walter Herman to enter the starting lineup, is not as simple as just adding a shooting point, but he needs to defend LeBron James.

His height and strength are good. Of course, his footsteps are a little slow, but this is the only player the Bobcats can find so far that can barely match LeBron James except Zhou Lin.

In the first two games, Zhou Lin wasted too much energy defending James, so there were various problems on the offensive end.

If he couldn't make a trade with James, it wouldn't make any sense. Bernie Bickerstaff, who had figured it out, directly took Walter Herman to defend LeBron James, and the big deal would be blown up.

An inappropriate analogy is that an inferior or middle-class horse faces LeBron, a hard-earned horse, and Zhou Lin, a top-ranking horse, appears on other tracks.

I don't want to be able to guard against James, but I just want to let Zhou Lin lead other players to open up on the offensive end.

Although Walter Herman only played basketball in the NBA for one year, he is a professional player who has been playing professionally for almost ten years. He is also a member of the Athens Olympic team. In that year, they played in Ginobili's Under his leadership, he defeated the mighty and undefeated dream team, and he also has his experience with American superstars.

Defending LeBron James, he can't be as close as Wallace or even Zhou Lin, because of the speed, as long as LeBron James speeds up, Walter Herman may only be able to He is eating car exhaust, so he is stepping on the free throw line to defend, medium and long distance, if you want James, I will give it to you.

LeBron James saw that his opponent gave him a space of almost one meter, so he also tried to shoot one.

With a bang, the away basket didn't seem to be very polite to Zhan Zhan.

Okafor protected the rebound and gave it to Raymond Felton. Felton only took two dribbles before squinting until Zhou Lin rushed out.

A long blow was given to Zhou Lin, and LeBron James followed closely. Zhou Lin sprinted to the basket but came to a sudden stop. Okafor who followed up directly received Zhou Lin's return pass, violently Buckle it!

On one side, the big Z Okafor dunked successfully before reaching the backcourt.
