This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 199 'True and False' Whirlwind

"Yes, we are ready, although this year's East is more intense than in previous years, the Celtics, Magic, have all upgraded their luxury, but our goal is to reach the top four in the East, because we also got Sean Marion, Sean is a great player and my dream player."

On November 11, the Bobcats came to the American Airlines Center Arena and beat the Heat 4-90 at home in Miami.

Dwyane Wade failed to play. The knee injury in April this year not only swept the Miami Heat out of the first round of the playoffs last season, discrediting the defending champions, but also affected this year, including today's Absent, Wade has missed the first three games of the season, and the Heat also suffered a three-game losing streak at the beginning.

O'Neal, who had already shown signs of dying last season, is still declining this season. The big shark that could devour everything when he was young is no match for the erosion of time after all.

Born in 1972, he is one year older than Chris Webber. He is 35 years old this year. For a heavy center, if he wants to continue to survive on the court, in addition to the necessary weight loss and maintenance, he must also He needs to adjust his mentality, from a core player to a role player.

In this game, the stats of 17+9 are already much better than his season average.

The Bobcats mercilessly won the first consecutive victory of the season from this old, weak and sick Heat team.

Although the game was very anxious, and finally relied on Sean Marion's breakthrough quasi lore to defend the victory of the game, but in fact, in this game, although the Hackers still scored 21 points and 11 rebounds, they hit The shooting rate fell to 22 of 7 shots, and the three-pointers were missed.

But Bernie Bickerstaff is optimistic about all of this, and arrogantly believes that the current Bobcats have completely become a strong team in the East.

Winning swells up, that's true.

For the Charlotte Bobcats, the test came quickly.

On November 11th, Charlotte's home court ushered in the challenge of the Phoenix Suns from afar.

The former team boss Gerald. Wallace once again came to the Charlotte Bobcats.

When Gerald Wallace walked into the arena, the audience burst into warm applause, and everyone stood up, expressing infinite respect for this meritorious player who played for the Bobcats for three years.

"Thank you for not forgetting me!"

Gerald Wallace also thanked the audience on the sidelines very affectionately.

Then, he hugged and greeted his former teammates again.

"Gerrard, I miss training with you."

"Zhou, you are also an old player of the Bobcats now, keep fighting and see you in the game."

Gerald Wallace and Zhou Lin embraced, like brothers reminiscing about the past, but now they need to be their own masters.

In this game, the inside player of the Suns, Amare Stoudemire, will continue to be absent. In the second game against the Lakers, Stoudemire suffered an injury and has already been absent and played. And the Cleveland Cavaliers game, and this game will continue to sit on the sidelines.

The Suns really performed the small lineup to the extreme.

Boris Diaw, who was under six feet nine, was pushed into the five position.

The 2.01-meter Gerald Wallace plays the fourth position.

Grant Hill played at the three, with Raja Bell and Steve Nash at the back.

And the Bobcats here:

Raymond Felton and Brandon Roy partnered at the back line, Zhou Lin played at the third position, Sean Marion played at the fourth position, and Emeka Okafor played at the fifth position.

At the beginning of the game, Emeka Okafor helped the team get the first wave of possession, but faced with Boris Diaw's defense, his jumper failed to hit.

Boris Diaw took off the defensive rebound and handed it to Steve Nash. Nash pushed quickly, and other players behind him were ready to respond at any time. After observing the positioning, Steve Nash chose to make a mid-range shot himself, but missed.

It was really fast, the Bobcats player just ran to the backcourt to defend, and Steve Nash had already shot, and the round time was less than 5 seconds.

Okafor took off the rebound and gave it to Raymond Felton, who also directly launched a fast break. Sean Marion was on the side, and the two had always made eye contact.

As soon as Zhou Lin ran to the frontcourt, Raymond Felton threw the ball into the air, Sean Marion jumped high, but at the same time, Gerald Wallace also appeared, slapping him directly Shot the ball away.

We are all too familiar with each other.

A pass error, Steve Nash received the rebounded basketball, and immediately made a long pass to Boris Diaw. Boris Diaw directly dunked and scored the first goal of the game.

The Charlotte Bobcats still wanted to compete with the Suns for speed. Raymond Felton wanted to pass the pick-and-roll with Okafor and pass the ball to Okafor on the move, but was caught by Raja Bell. Steals, dribbles to the frontcourt, then hands to Nash, and Nash passes the ball to Gerald Wallace in the bottom corner without looking at anyone.

Facing his own basket, Gerald Wallace easily made a three-pointer.

Even on the bench, I thought of the applause. Even Zhou Lin wanted to reach out to give Gerald Wallace a high-five. He stretched out his hand a little, but he still took it back.

It seemed like playing with Gerald Wallace was still yesterday.

And Gerald Wallace, who scored a three-pointer, waved to the fans at the scene, as if to say, this three-pointer is for you.

The Charlotte Bobcats finally scored in the next round, with an inside advantage. Marion and Emeka Marion grabbed three offensive rebounds in a row, and finally Brandon Roy made a mid-range shot .

But before the Bobcats breathed a sigh of relief, Steve Nash found a passing opportunity in the gap between Zhou Lin and Marion's defense. Gabel broke forward, paused in the frontcourt, and passed back to Steve Nash. Nash didn't even dribble, and a large behind-the-back pass was directly stuffed to Grant who was waiting outside the three-point line. Hill.

Grant Hill shot directly from outside the three-point line.

After all, the Sun God Doctor team, the former Jordan successor Grant Hill, has obviously improved a lot since he came to Phoenix.

8-2 start.

This is still the case where the opponent gave up a Stoudemire.

Then, Marion tried to solve the problem with individual singles, but he ran into Gerald Wallace. Sean Marion wanted to show off in front of his old teammates, but Gerald Wallace I don't want to show off in front of my former 'folks'.

Then there were three missed shots.

During the period, it was still relying on Zhou Lin's second attack to barely score another 2 points.

As for the Phoenix Suns, Gerald Wallace injected fresh blood into them.

Although Sean Marion was lost, the younger Gerald Wallace was exchanged. The 25-year-old Gerald Wallace is not inferior to Sean Marion, who is already on the decline. Lyon is just less famous.

And Gerald Wallace's defense is very online. He can defend from the 1st position to the 4th position, and he spares no effort. This player seems to be tailor-made for the Suns.

Yes, the Phoenix Suns got Sean Marion, four years younger.

Less than 5 minutes into the game, the Phoenix Suns ruthlessly taught a lesson to the copycat version of the Eastern "Suns" and went straight to 15-4. It made Bernie Bickerstaff a little socially dead. feeling.

And the mustache on the opposite side smiled slightly, as if to say, old man, these days, copycats are not scary, it's embarrassing to compare them with.

The top scorer of the Bobcats, the first 4 shots were 0, and the team has made 5 turnovers, almost one turnover per minute.

"In the NBA, which team can run better than the Phoenix Suns? Bobcats coach Bernie Bickerstaff's tactics have changed drastically this season, and he began to ask the team to speed up the offensive rhythm. The old way of the team means that it looked pretty good before, but now it meets the real. Run and bomb the team. The sun, it completely has the meaning of Li Gui seeing Li Kui."

CCTV-5 has broadcasted the second Bobcats game live, plus the one that was not broadcast live, gave CCTV reporters a sense of sight.

Bernie Bickerstaff is killing himself.

Of course, this is also because Zhou Lin's status in the current Charlotte Bobcats has declined seriously, and domestic football critics are complaining about Zhou Lin.

前两场比赛，周林分别出手8次和7次，分别得到12分+4次助攻，以及10分2助攻。

Zhou Lin began to run more and more back and forth, and the possession of the ball was basically concentrated in the hands of Raymond Felton and Sean Marion. Zhou Lin was almost reduced to a corner shooter, or a catch point.

After a few games, many basketball forums began to explode, and some netizens even began to give advice to Zhou Lin.

Various theories have come out about what kind of deal went to Los Angeles Staples to assist Kobe, went to the Miami Heat to play with Wade, and went to seek refuge with Yao Ming.

Because the trade for Marion can be said to be the biggest deal in the history of the Bobcats, with a salary of more than 1800 million. As long as Marion is in the Bobcats for a day, Zhou Lin's tactical status will only decline, and there is no possibility of rising.

Also in the first two games, Sean Marion's performance was really good, even his weird shot was praised as ugly but efficient.

But a player like Sean Marion really has the potential to be the leader of the team... There are not a few people who doubt it.

It's just that Sean Marion still got a lot of ball rights.

After playing the first quarter, he finally relied on 9 shots, hit 2 goals and scored 7 points, 4 rebounds and 1 block.

7 points, 4 rebounds and 1 block in a single quarter. If it is not measured by the number of turnovers and shots, it may look good, but the final efficiency value is ugly -11.

29-18, the Charlotte Bobcats lost as much as 11 points in the first quarter.

The first quarter set the tone for the entire game.

On the other hand, when Zhou Lin first played in the second quarter, he had three points and two points, and Matt Carroll and Chris Webber chased back seven or eight points.

It's a pity that as soon as the starter came back, the problem started to appear again.

Play fast break, Steve Nash can make Raymond Felton out of military training!
The textbook-like rhythm of offensive and defensive transitions, as well as the steady middle distance of an old dog, Steve Nash, the perennial 180 club player, can't play too easily.

Raymond Felton really looked like a primary school student in front of Steve Nash.

Missed passes, missed dribbles, missed shots, missed layups!
And once a shot is missed or a mistake is made, the Suns' counterattack will appear every minute.

Blinded, autistic!
The rhythm is all out of order.

After being replaced for the second time, Raymond Felton began to doubt whether he could play.

Sean Marion also bullied the Suns and vented his anger with a few dunks, but this couldn't cover up the fact that his offensive efficiency was low.

He was in the Suns before, but there were not so many players to study how he attacked, how he shot, and what he needed to do was very simple, waiting for Nash to pass the ball over for a layup and dunk shot, or to fight hard Rebounds, second offense.

But now, every team's best defender will stand in front of him, he is the number one player of the Charlotte Bobcats, the Charlotte Bobcats most offensive player.

His erratic shooting and not-yet-elite dribble will all show flaws.

He was lucky in his career. He met Jason Kidd when he first entered the league. Shortly after Kidd left, Steve Nash came and was able to play next to these two Hall of Fame point guards. Can eat to the full.

At halftime, the Charlotte Bobcats trailed by a full 35 points 50-15.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, Bernie Bickerstaff wanted to start controlling the rhythm, and stayed more in positional battles, but it was too late. The Charlotte Bobcats were like a bull pulling back. This kind of missed shots and quick offense and defense also caused the Bobcats' defense to be easily poked by the Phoenix Suns, which has the strongest offensive power in the league.

The Phoenix Suns scored a terrifying 42 points in the third quarter.

In the third quarter, Gerald Wallace became the first sharp knife of the Phoenix Suns, repeatedly stabbing the former owner, scoring 14 points in a single quarter.

56-92, a full 36 points behind in three quarters.

The Charlotte Bobcats, who were dreaming of becoming the Eastern Phoenix Suns, suffered a humiliating battle.

Completely return to the original form!

If it weren't for the Charlotte Bobcats' substitutes who saved the main force's face in the last quarter, the point difference in this game is estimated to be heading towards 50 points.

In the end, 110-83, the Charlotte Bobcats lost by 27 points.

此役，面对旧主的俩人有了冰火两重天的表现，杰拉德.华莱士三节打卡得到了14投11中，27分8篮板3盖帽，肖恩.马里昂22投6中14分9篮板6次失误。

In addition, Steve Nash once again taught Bobcats point guard Raymond Felton a lesson with a big double-double of 21 points and 19 assists.

后者只有6分5助攻却又7次失误，10次投篮只进了2次。

周林打过半节好球，最后9投5中得到12分3助攻5篮板。
