This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 201 Derby, conflicts erupt!

At 11 pm on November 14th, Phillips Arena, home of the Atlanta Hawks.

The Chinese Derby was staged again.

Moreover, the two sides of the Chinese derby this time, there is no Yao Ming, but a contest between two new generation Chinese players.

Zhou Lin, 20, and Yi Jianlian, 20.

As teammates of the Chinese national team, they both entered the NBA as Tanhuaxiu after a year difference. These two players have attracted too much attention from Chinese fans.

As a first-year rookie, Yi Jianlian is still adapting to the NBA stage. At present, the Eagles have played 6 games, 2 wins and 4 losses. Yi Jianlian averaged 9.3 points and 4.3 rebounds per game. When playing the Wizards and the Suns.

And this is the third start of Yi Jianlian's career. Mike Woodson, the head coach of the Eagles, still gave Yi Jianlian face, and also gave Yi Jianlian and Zhou Lin behind the Chinese market face.

You must know that the first Chinese Derby match between Yao Ming and Zhou Lin last year attracted almost 1.7 million people to watch, and the face-to-face encounter between Yao Ming and Zhou Lin a few days ago, the number of viewers at its peak exceeded [-] million!
Compare that to almost 9000 million views of the biggest sporting event in the US, the 'Super Bowl'.

Almost double that of the 'Super Bowl'.

To know what the number of viewers means, it means the investment in advertising.

More Chinese sponsors are willing to favor the NBA. You must know that under this kind of heavy traffic, a 30-second advertisement can sell for several million dollars!
On BJ time, Thursday, November 11th at 15:8 AM.

Although it was a weekday, the ratings were already high. Before the game started, the number of viewers had already reached more than 7000 million, and this number was still soaring. Breaking through [-] million was a matter of minutes.

Not only are the fans waiting in front of the TV in China on the other side of the ocean, but there are also many student parties who use their mobile phones to watch the text live broadcast.

There are also many Chinese fans who came near Georgia, and many Chinese banners could be seen on the scene.

Wang Meng, a reporter from China's "Basketball Pioneer" in the United States, also rushed to the scene of the game from Houston, and interviewed the two young players who were about to play against each other. Compared with Yi Jianlian, Zhou Lin seemed more integrated and relaxed.

"Zhou Lin, you want to join the league a year earlier than Ah Lian, do you have any suggestions for Ah Lian?"

Zhou Lin smiled and said: "Have a good relationship with the boss of the team. In the locker room, try to play with your teammates as much as possible. Don't hold back any emotions. Say what you have to say and scold you." Just scold, but ah, the things in the locker room can be closed behind closed doors, and don’t spread it to the outside world.”

Ah Lian's journey in the NBA is not going well, which has something to do with his relatively introverted and silent personality. Zhou Lin also hopes that Ah Lian can stay in the NBA for a few more years. After all, his fate has been determined by his own history. The butterfly flapped its wings and changed.

"They spoke too fast, some couldn't understand."

"Language is one aspect, it needs to be learned."

Zhou Lin asked again: "A Lian, have you been tricked these days?"

"Tell us about it. It should be interesting. It's certain that newcomers will be tricked."

Ah Lian said: "It's nothing. I just told us to go downstairs to buy food. I still have Axi Lao. I didn't finish talking about the key things to buy at once. I ran three times."

"Then you're pretty good."

Zhou Lin said with a smile: "This is also one of the American basketball cultures. Rookies have to pass this level. I remember I went to New York to play a game last year. They didn't let us get on the bus to the airport. Then we didn't catch up. In the end, we watched I watched the plane fly away, and then we bought the plane ticket back to Charlotte.”

It didn't take too long to catch up with Yi Jianlian. After Zhou Lin and Yi Jianlian took photos in a regular manner, they went back to warm up.

And before the game starts, there is an easter egg.

The Atlanta Hawks' home court actually has a 'lion dance' performance.

Zhou Lin grew up in Shanghai. He only saw lion dance performances in the Huang Feihong series played by Zhao Wenzhuo, but he had never seen the live show.

Today's scene has a strong sense of China, and the advertising signs on both sides are also full of Chinese advertisements.

In addition to Peak's advertisements, there are also advertisements written in Chinese characters such as Pacific Insurance and Mengniu Dairy.

In addition, there are many Chinese fans on both sides, cheering and cheering, which makes Zhou Lin and Yi Jianlian feel like returning to China to play in a trance.

Soon, the game officially began.

The Charlotte Bobcats have a regular lineup: Raymond Felton, Brandon Roy, Zhou Lin, Sean Marion, Emeka Okafor.

Atlanta Hawks lineup: Acie Law, Joe Johnson, Josh Smith, Marvin Williams, Yi Jianlian.

In addition, Asi Law is also a rookie this year, a point guard from Texas A&M University, and was brought to the team by the Eagles with the 11th overall pick.

The reason why he was able to have a starting position in the first few games of the season is indeed because there are really no good point guards in this team, and Asi Law's efficiency can only be said to be average, with a height of 1.91 meters and a weight of only 85 Compared with Raymond Felton, he is 6 centimeters shorter than him, but he is 7 kilograms heavier than him.

Yi Jianlian, wearing the No. 9 jersey, stood in the middle circle and jumped the ball with Emeka Okafor. With his height and bounce speed, Yi Jianlian helped the team get the first wave of possession.

As the team's top player, Joe Johnson, made a three-pointer from the outside and the team took the lead.

Sean Marion, who had just returned, succeeded in a pick-and-roll with Raymond Felton and made a layup.

The starting touch of both sides looked good, and as a rookie, Yi Jianlian quickly got a chance. From a distance of about 20 feet, he got a shot. However, he was still affected by Okafor's long arm. In the end, the ball Knock out of the frame.

The long rebound, Zhou Lin took the rebound and gave it to Raymond Felton. He quickly advanced, and in the frontcourt, the point was given to Sean Marion, who was cutting from the wing. Sean Marion was about to read for a layup, but was caught Josh Smith, who was chasing after him, gave a pegboard hat.

Josh Smith is definitely one of the top three strikers in the league in terms of blocking ability. He averaged 2.9 blocks per game last season, which is terrifying.

Josh Smith, who won the ball, immediately passed a long pass to Joe Johnson. Four hit three in the frontcourt. Marvin Williams seized the opportunity and made a mid-range hit.

This is also the follow-up caused by the Bobcats' blind push now. If the finishing ability is not enough, or if there is a mistake, the opponent will immediately counterattack.

Under the attention of almost all Chinese basketball fans, the two young Chinese NBA players, Zhou Lin, who broke the ice first, hit the net with a sweet three-pointer from the bottom corner of the wing.

This is also Zhou Lin's first shot in this field.

After waiting for another 3 minutes, Yi Jianlian hit his first three-pointer at 45°.

A seven-foot big man, the [-]-pointer is a fixture and one of the hallmarks of Yi Jianlian's draft.

If Yi Jianlian can enter the NBA league about 5-7 years later, then he can catch up with the NBA small ball era, and he is definitely a sought-after insider in the market.

Nowadays, a big man who floats outside and shoots is often criticized for not being tough enough and soft.

And the two young Chinese players scored consecutively in the opening stage, which is not in vain for the office workers of many fans watching the game, or the student party hiding under the desk to brush text live.

Yi Jianlian was replaced after playing for about 6 minutes, and Zaza Pachulia was replaced.

The Hawks played very well in the first quarter today. The team's leader Joe Johnson scored 13 points with sudden free throws. Josh Smith, who frequently hit the inside, also scored 11 points.

Scored 37 points in a single quarter.

The Charlotte Bobcats scored 22 points.

Among them, the number of turnovers has reached 7 times, of which 3 times were directly converted into counterattack scores.

In other words, the Atlanta Hawks at home have been being cultivated by their opponents.

As soon as Shaun Marion returned, the Charlotte Bobcats began to play up-tempo ball, or that Charlotte Bobcats could not change because of the early failure of trying to fast-tempo, after all, this is Bickerstaff's current The idea of ​​changing the style of play is not equivalent to slapping yourself in the face!
Apart from Sean Marion, the only person on the team who likes this style of play is Raymond Felton, because his possession of the ball will increase a lot. On the contrary, other players can't adapt to this style of play for a while. .

Zhou Lin's touch is not bad, he scored 4 of 3 in the first quarter and scored 8 points, which is the highest of the Charlotte Bobcats.

And when it came to the transition stage of Zhou Lin playing with a substitute, the Bobcats team, which was good at capturing positions and playing high-quality offensive and defensive transitions, seemed to have a flash of inspiration again.

The Zhouyi showdown that everyone was looking forward to also appeared in the second quarter. After the pick-and-roll, Zhou Lin faced Yi Jianlian and took advantage of his speed to break through and make a layup.

Looking back, Tyronn Lue also gave the ball to Yi Jianlian, who was about to reach the inside line, with a sense of face. Yi Jianlian relied on Walter Herman, who came off the bench, to turn around and appear at the basket. Zhou Lin chose to go up to help defend, but One was still detained by Yi Jianlian.

And this ball is definitely going to be in today's top five balls.

"A Lian, I'm going to be your background board."

Zhou Lin walked back and shouted in Chinese.

Yi Jianlian laughed and said, "Didn't you hit me just now?"

Facing the second team of the Atlanta Hawks, Zhou Lin played for three and a half minutes in the connecting stage. He scored 4 points and sent two assists at the same time, playing a 12-5 spurt.

But with the return of the main lineup, Sean Marion and Raymond Felton, Zhou Lin was replaced. Even if he appeared again, he only became the third player with the most possessions.

In this quarter of the game, the Bobcats players felt good, especially Sean Marion, who scored 6 of 5 and scored 13 points in a single quarter.

The Bobcats also used 35-27 in a single quarter to regain some face slightly.

64-57, the score in this half is very high.

Sean Marion scored 19 points at halftime, and Zhou Lin also scored 14 points.

In the third quarter of the game, the Atlanta Hawks at home suddenly misfired, while the visiting Charlotte Bobcats played with high efficiency.

Another quarter, leading 27-20.

84-84, after three quarters.

"The defenses on both sides are comprehensive enough, but the play on the scene is very good."

This is the narrator's slightly modified version.

Basically undefended.

This score is all about sprinting towards 120 points.

It's not that there are no good defensive players on both sides, but that there is no good defensive system.

The two sides are also missing each other.

The Charlotte Bobcats are pushing fast, pursuing speed and shooting frequency. Many times, they will choose to play less and make more shots, or make hasty shots.

To be honest, Zhou Lin really doesn't like this kind of style of play that draws a tiger but doesn't fight a dog.

All the players played like a mess.

In the fourth quarter, the game was still very stalemate, and because of this stalemate, Yi Jianlian was pushed off the court, and Pachulia still gained the trust of head coach Mike Woodson.

Pachulia's defensive rebounds and several key inside defenses still played a very good role.

Zhou Lin and Brandon Roy hit three-pointers one after another at the last moment of the game. With 36 seconds left, the team was only 109 points behind at 112-3. Chance to catch up.

Bernie Bickerstaff made adjustments and set up a quick-scoring tactic.

Arrange bull horn tactics.

When the ball arrived in the positional battle, after Zhou Lin finished the pick-and-roll with Raymond Felton, he used the cover to immediately get a good opportunity. At this moment, he happened to be in the hands of Sean Marion and caught the ball Afterwards, Sean Marion shot directly from a long distance, trying to score 2 points quickly.

However, Zhou Lin, who was completely in the empty seat, was ignored!
Then because of interference from Josh Smith, the ball bounced out of the frame, the Eagles got the ball and called a timeout.

You must know that Zhou Lin made 4 of 3 three-pointers in this game, and he felt hot, and he rarely ran out of open space, but missed the ball, so he had the urge to scold his mother.

"Sean, why didn't you pass it to me?" Zhou Lin couldn't bear it anymore, and walked over to question Sean Marion.

"I was completely open and I was sure I'd make that shot!"

"I think I'm more confident of taking two points first!"

"But what was the result?"

Zhou Lin glared at Sean Marion and said.

"But I'm the first choice!"

Sean Marion shot back: "I have experienced much more games than you, and my experience and judgment are not comparable to yours."

Zhou Lin sneered: "Nonsense, you ruined our chemistry!"

Zhou Lin finally couldn't help but exploded, scolding: "Damn run and bomb tactics, rubbish!"

And the camera at the scene also captured the scene of Zhou Lin and Sean Marion arguing.

The two were immediately pulled apart, and although they were mediating again, they ended the dispute with high fives.

But the conflict between Zhou Lin and Sean Marion was completely ignited.

The game was won by the Eagles 115-111 without suspense.

周林得到了22分5助攻4篮板，肖恩.马里昂27分10篮板。

The Atlanta Hawks had more points here. Five players scored in double figures, including Joe Johnson with 32 points and 6 assists, Josh Smith with 26 points and 8 rebounds, and Marvin Williams with 19 points and 8 rebounds.

Yi Jianlian made his debut but only played 21 minutes, scoring 8 points, 4 rebounds and 1 block.
