This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 207 Winning in double overtime, winning the best of the week again

Overtime begins.

The two teams still maintained the lineup at the end of the fourth quarter, and Okafor won the jump ball with Varejao.

However, Sean Marion missed his first shot in overtime, and the Cleveland Cavaliers protected the rebound and gave the ball to LeBron James. James, facing Marion's strict defense, Still made a mid-range shot.

And Brandon Roy's three-pointer is to help the Charlotte Bobcats overtake the score.

97-96.

Brandon Roy's scoring also passed the 20-point mark.

Drew Gooden wanted to hit Zhou Lin again, but Zhou Lin affected his turnaround jumper after a few hits. Zhou Lin protected the backboard and sent a long pass to Sean Marion.

There was no one in front, but Zhou Lin quickly found that LeBron James was right behind Sean Marion, and he was chasing after him at a lightning-fast speed.

Sean Marion's dunk was eventually slapped away by LeBron James.

Then, Brandon Roy's serve was directly judged by Larry Hughes, and it was directly cut off and passed to James, who then passed to Daniel Gibson.

The latter hit this crucial three-pointer again.

99-97, the Cleveland Cavaliers in turn led by 2 points.

Zhou Lin didn't even have a layup in the face of James' defense. James grabbed the rebound again and his personal rebounds reached 17.

And while he was running, Marion was called for a gamble steal.

Six offenders leave!

In this campaign, Marion scored 19 of 11 and scored 32 points, 8 rebounds and 2 blocks. It can be said that his performance was even comparable to that of Zhou Lin, who had a triple-double. Unfortunately, the foul problem caused Marion to leave the field early. And his exit means that the Bobcats will no longer have an elite defender to face James.

At this moment, the Cleveland Cavaliers' home commentary has become excited, shouting loudly that the game is about to end, and James will dominate overtime.

And Zhou Lin inevitably needs to match up with LeBron James on both offensive and defensive ends.

Immediately afterwards, the Charlotte Bobcats replaced Muhammad on the bench. Varejao and LeBron James completed the pick-and-roll cooperation. After receiving a pass from James, Varejao made Mohammed foul, went to the free throw line.

One of two free throws helped the team score more than 3 points, and at the same time, it also gave the Cleveland Cavaliers a [-]-point lead.

There are just 57 seconds left in the time.

The Charlotte Bobcats tried to score a two-pointer first, but Okafor missed a close layup.

With 35 seconds left in the clock, the Cleveland Cavaliers began to slow down and strive to achieve a success rate. As long as they score in this round, whether it is 2 points or 3 points, the Cleveland Cavaliers will completely take the initiative.

As for the Charlotte Bobcats, it can only be defensive, and no fouls are allowed.

Once fouled, walk to the free throw line, even if it is a free throw, the outcome of the game will move in a more favorable direction for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The Cleveland Cavaliers played at a low tempo. With about 17 seconds left in the game, the ball was given to LeBron James again. The other players cleared the side and let LeBron James solve the problem. games.

Zhou Lin's defense in this round is very important. Without Marion, the effect of anyone on the team defending against James alone is not good.

James tentatively took two steps back, and then took advantage of the momentum to attack. Zhou Lin was almost firmly attached to James, feeling the huge impact. James did not completely resist Zhou Lin, and Zhou Lin's defense still interfered with James's attack. Layup, the ball circled around the basket, but still jumped out.

Emeka Okafor tried his best to protect the rebound.

Coach Capel quickly called a timeout.

There are still 12 seconds left in the game, which is quite sufficient.

Whether it is taking two points first, using foul tactics, or winning three points, it is all possible.

And the handler of the last ball is also limited.

If you talk about outside lines.

In this game, Zhou Lin didn't feel good. He only made 15 of 6 shots, 7 of 2 three-pointers, and scored 16 points. Raymond Felton was 3 of 1. Brandon Felton had the best touch. Roy was 5 for 3.

The tactic chosen by the Bobcats is to use Zhou Lin as the receiving point, and Brandon Roy uses the screen to shoot from one baseline to the other baseline. Zhou Lin strives to find Brandon Roy. In addition, Okafor, who was covering, cut inside at the same time. If he couldn't fire from the outside, let Zhou Lin quickly hang to the basket to play. Of course, both plans need to be fast, because if he doesn't go in, there will be another shot. Little time for tactical fouls.

Mohammed serves for the Bobcats, and the Cavaliers are also tight defensively, almost making a five-second violation of the serve. For this reason, Capel used the last timeout of overtime.

After the timeout, the ball was sent out, but James and Larry Hughes made a layup and steal the first time. Zhou Lin, Zhou Lin almost dropped the ball. While protecting the ball with a diving jump, the ball went to the cloth on the side. Landon Roy, Brandon Roy made a quick shot. Unfortunately, the arc of the shot was not enough, and it bounced back. By mistake, Brandon Roy got the second offensive rebound, The time of the stopwatch was rapidly passing. Facing the rushing Cavaliers players, Brandon Roy's wide-range pass directly passed to Zhou Lin on the other side.

All eyes were attracted by Brandon Roy, and Zhou Lin finally got his chance.

Zhou Lin received the ball and glanced at it. Less than 2 seconds later, facing Varejao who reacted and rushed towards him, Zhou Lin raised the arc.

The ball fell into the basket impartially!
0.9 seconds left, 100-100.

Zhou Lin almost hit a perfect tie at the buzzer.

It is even more time-consuming than Daniel Gibson's tying ball in regular time.

At 0.9 seconds, the Cleveland Cavaliers could only try to complete the lob. The ball was thrown into the air and was slapped away by Okafor. The game entered the second overtime!
The players on both sides are very tired and have certain physical problems.

Among them, Zhou Lin and Raymond Felton both played for more than 50 minutes, and James also played for 47 minutes.

The Bobcats did not have Sean Marion for 5 minutes.

The Cleveland Cavaliers also consciously gave the ball to James, and wanted James to single Zhou Lin.

In the first round, James directly broke through Zhou Lin's defense and ended the round with a dunk.

What I have to say is that James is indeed a player with bugs, he has played to this level, and his physical fitness seems to be very abundant.

The Charlotte Bobcats didn't score for two consecutive rounds. Zhou Lin and Okafor failed to put the ball into the basket. James tried to use his personal ability to solve the problem.

At this time, Zhou Lin made a contribution and created LeBron James' dribble charge on the defensive end, helping the team get the ball.

Then on the offensive end, he assisted Brandon Roy again and made a mid-range shot to tie the game.

Brandon Roy also scored 24 points, while Zhou Lin got his 12th assist.

Changed sides to fight again, Larry Rest missed the shot, and Varejao grabbed two consecutive offensive rebounds under the basket, but failed to score. Zhou Lin grabbed his 11th rebound and passed again. It was given to Brandon Roy, but this time Varejao played the actor's instinct again and made Brandon Roy's offensive foul.

With 51 seconds left in the game, the Cleveland Cavaliers called a timeout, hoping to end the fight on this round.

And Mike Brown has been emphasizing space and giving LeBron James a certain amount of space.

Back on the field, LeBron James tore through the Charlotte Bobcats' defense, went to the basket, faced Okafor's supplementary defense, and hit 2+1, which made the home fans think that the game Will be ended by LeBron James.

However, LeBron James failed to hit the extra penalty, Zhou Lin was relieved, the difference between 2 points and 3 points is still very big.

Zhou Lin also had to sigh with emotion, LeBron James is really in good health, he can still run and jump like crazy at the beginning of the game.

There are 32 seconds left in the game.

Capel did not call a timeout, but let the players on the field play by themselves.

Under such heavy pressure, Zhou Lin was half a meter away from the three-point line, and suddenly made a cold shot, which caught the fans of the Cleveland Cavaliers off guard.

If the ball was missed, the Cleveland Cavaliers would have basically won the game, but Zhou Lin made it.

Zhou Lin, who made 8 of 2 three-pointers in this game, made a three-pointer that almost solved the suspense of the game with 27 seconds left before the end of the game.

105-104!The Bobcats took a 1-point lead.

People in the media at home and abroad were all shocked by this ball.

"Zhou Lin's shooting touch in this game is not good. If the ball is not scored, it may be criticized by many fans. After all, the ball was shot too hastily, without coordination and tactics, and it was thrown directly at halftime. "

"In other words, if the shot hits, Zhou Lin is the hero."

"I think Zhou Lin has already fulfilled the responsibility of being the leader of a team. After all, at this time, if he fails to make a shot, he will bear a lot of pressure, and Zhou Lin is probably mentally prepared and willing to bear it. Prepare for the pressure."

Domestic football critics only have one word to comment on this ball.

horizontal!
Yes, if you dare to shoot at this time, and you can hit it, it is a sign of horizontality!

Although this game is extremely iron, it is a kind of courage to dare to shoot.

And after Zhou Lin made the shot, almost all the teammates on the Charlotte Bobcats bench jumped up. In the screen, only Sean Marion's eyes were slightly calm and silent.

For him, the better Zhou Lin performed, the less meaningful it seemed for him to come to this team.

"Brothers, hold on to this wave, and we will win!"

Zhou Lin's score has also reached 22 points.

The Cleveland Cavaliers paused to arrange tactics, and there were 27 seconds left in the game. They still had time to arrange a complex tactic, as long as they scored two or three points, and then defended one.

James held the ball and waited for the time to run out. About 12 seconds left in the game, James started to start, and now the Bobcats players all started to protect the basket. Once LeBron James broke through the week Lin's defense line came to the paint area, and he was bound to face two or three defenders. James still chose to break through. After all, the gap between two and three points is not big now.

And if you enter the inside line, you still have a chance to cause damage!
Okafor and Mohammed almost hit the goal with double ghosts, blocking James' attack.

The referee can't call a penalty at a time like this when there are no obvious signs of fouling, even though the opponent is a superstar like LeBron James.

The Cavaliers reluctantly started foul tactics.

Two consecutive fouls were enough to send Emeka Okafor to the free throw line. Okafor, who made just over [-]% of his free throws this season, stabilized his mind and made two free throws.

107-104.

There are 6.2 seconds left in the game.

It is impossible for the Bobcats to lose in regular time, and what the Cleveland Cavaliers need to do after using up the last timeout is to use a three-pointer to drag the game into the third overtime.

On the Cleveland Cavaliers side, Daniel Gibson was put up. Apart from James, he may be the best three-pointer choice.

At this moment, they may miss Marshall a little bit. It was Marshall's 6 three-pointers that kept the Charlotte Bobcats out of the tiebreaker. Marshall has been marginalized in the Cavaliers this season. He didn't play, and he wasn't on the active list for this game, of course, because of his age and single function.

The Cleveland Cavaliers served the ball. James didn't find a suitable opportunity from beyond the three-point line. With 1.5 seconds left in the game, the ball was given to Daniel Gibson, and Gibson couldn't reproduce the regular time. scene.

The ball knocked out of the box.

The Charlotte Bobcats beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 107-104 in double overtime.

夏洛特山猫队这边，三人20+得分，肖恩.马里昂32分8篮板3助攻2封盖，布兰登.罗伊24分7篮板5助攻，周林取下三双22分12助攻11篮板。

For the Cleveland Cavaliers, although James scored 42 points, 18 rebounds and 8 assists, Larry Hughes, the highest scorer among other players, only had 18 points.

In the post-match interview, Zhou Lin praised his teammates without hesitation, and for his two key three-pointers, Zhou Lin said: "I know I can make a shot. Although I was very inaccurate before, I have not lost confidence. , and the Charlotte Bobcats haven't lost their desire for a playoff berth, and we're going to make it."
