This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 211 The Bobcats' March Madness (3)

The bottoming out of the Charlotte Bobcats has officially begun.

The next wave of winning streak began with changing the history of the Houston Rockets' 22-game winning streak.

Then Zhou Lin and his Charlotte Bobcats defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers again the day after they defeated the Houston Rockets.

Double-beat the Cleveland Cavaliers away this season.

The true colors of the giant killer team are revealed again!

Although the super giant James of the Cleveland Cavaliers scored 30+ violently again, it still couldn't stop the Bobcats from taking the victory of the game.

Anyone can feel that the chemical reaction of the Charlotte Bobcats has undoubtedly begun to form. After the All-Star Game, they rushed towards the playoffs at full speed.

Then the next victim was the Memphis Grizzlies, the underdogs in the West.

After the trade, Mike Dunleavy once again returned to the Conseco Arena, home of the Pacers.

In this game, it was very difficult to play. Matt Carroll, who also faced his former owner, scored a career-high 29 points.

But Mike Dunleavy still proved his worth. At the last moment, he received a pass from Zhou Lin and used his quasi-lore to make the team regret trading him away.

Immediately after that is the Miami Heat, which has already started the bad mode.

In addition to the continued absence of Dwyane Wade, Shawn Marion didn't even play in this game, and the Miami Heat also struggled through the first three quarters, and after a wave of small climaxes in the fourth quarter. After 17 points, the Heat directly chose to disarm and surrender.

The Charlotte Bobcats once again ushered in a five-game winning streak.

And this wave of five-game winning streak once again allowed Zhou Lin, who had 22.5 points, 7.4 rebounds and 6.6 assists, to overwhelm Celtics' Kevin Garnett, who was named the best of the week in the Eastern Conference. This is also Zhou Lin's second best of the week this month.

Since entering March, Charlotte has only lost once in the Western Conference powerhouse Dallas Mavericks.

The winning percentage in a single month is even less than the 10 wins and 2 losses of the league's first Boston Celtics.

10 wins and 1 loss, it can be called horror!
Of course, this also made Sean Marion slightly embarrassed.

When he left the Bobcats, the team had only 20 wins and 36 losses. After he left the team, the Bobcats had a record of 11 wins and 2 losses. The current team is 31 wins and 38 losses.

The 30-39 Atlanta Hawks have been squeezed out of the playoffs to eighth in the Eastern Conference.

Experts are also guessing at which game the Charlotte Bobcats will end their winning streak, or will continue to extend the longest streak in team history with 5 consecutive victories.

On March 3, the Charlotte Bobcats visited Salt Lake City, home of the Utah Jazz.

The Utah Jazz have won at home to the Charlotte Bobcats this season.

In this game, the Utah Jazz are sitting at home, waiting for work.

Tell me about the situation of the Jazz.

The Utah Jazz are currently 46 wins and 25 losses, with a winning percentage of just over 65%, but their real results can only be ranked sixth in the Western Conference.

It is conceivable that the competition in the West is too fierce.

The Los Angeles Lakers, as No. 1 in the Western Conference, only have a record of 49-22.

The NO.2 Orleans Hornets are 47-21.

The No.3 Phoenix Suns have the same record as the No.4 San Antonio Spurs, both with a record of 47-23.

The Houston Rockets, who had just ended their winning streak, ranked fifth in the Western Conference with a record of 47-24.

The Dallas Mavericks are 44th in the Western Conference at 26-7.

The Denver Nuggets, eighth in the Western Conference, also have a record of 43 wins and 28 losses, with a winning percentage of over 60%.

The biggest difference between the top six in the West is only 3.5 wins.

Now there are about 10 games left before the end of the season.

Therefore, the top six seats in the West may change at any time.

And the Lakers' top spot may not be safe.

Even Jazz Utah is staring at the No. [-] throne in the West.

The Utah Jazz is lucky, he is not in the Southwest Division with 4 playoff-level teams, the Mavericks, Spurs, Rockets, and Hornets.

Nor does it belong to the same Pacific Division as the Sun Lakers, two teams that are likely to reach the top of the Western Conference.

As the top player in the Northwest Division, they barely sat in the fourth position in the upper half of the Western Conference, and the Denver Nuggets behind them are still 3 games behind themselves, which is a safe distance.

Another piece of data, as of now, the Jazz this season sits at home in Salt Lake City and has only lost 4 games, with a winning percentage close to 9%!
As the home of the famous devil in the league.

The plateau climate, as well as the fanatical fans, and the Jazz's always tenacious battles made Salt Lake City a nightmare for many teams.

The Charlotte Bobcats have been here once in each of the first three seasons, but left with losses all three times.

The Utah Jazz, also predicted by many experts, is the best choice to end the Charlotte Bobcats.

"We haven't won a game here, but it doesn't mean we can't do it!"

"We have defeated too many enemies. The Boston Celtics of the Big Three, the Cleveland Cavaliers with King James, the Houston Rockets with 20 consecutive victories, and the Utah Jazz are a big mountain for us. If we climb over this mountain, there will be a plain in front of us!"

Capel gave an impassioned speech in the locker room before the game. He is very clear about the current state of the team. There is no team that cannot win!

"Come on, Bobcats!"

The current Utah Jazz has Kirilenko, who may be the best wing defender in the league at present. The success of defending McGrady last year has proved this point. They also have a new generation of Utah Shuangsha in their team. Three-point shooter Korver, as well as CJ Myers and Paul Millsap, the bench bandits.

Zhou Lin and the Charlotte Bobcats are bound to encounter a more violent impact in this game.

The Bobcats arranged a regular lineup here: Raymond Felton, Brandon Roy, Zhou Lin, Mike Dunleavy, Emeka Okafor.

The Utah Jazz lineup: Deron Williams, Ronnie Brewer, Andrei Kirilenko, Carlos Boozer, Mohamed Okur.

Okur, the Turk, helped the team get the first wave of ball possession, and the ball was handed over to the team's brain, Deron Williams.

The pick is only two short. Raymond Felton, who is also one of the representatives of the 05 point guard year, is better than Chris Paul, who has become the top five in the league's MVP selection, and the new generation of Utah. Delong, the master of Shuangsha, is not even a star.

This season, Chris Paul's data has blown out, reaching a terrifying 21.1 points, 11.6 assists and 2.7 steals. He currently ranks first in the league in both steals and assists.

Deron Williams, averaging 18.8 points, 10.5 assists and 1.1 steals per game, has secured his position as the first-line point guard in the league.

As for Raymond Felton, averaging 12.7 points and 4.7 assists per game, he is just an extremely ordinary starting point guard in the league.

Regarding Deron Williams, there is a widely circulated saying that beat Paul while eating and sleeping.

Even though the current Chris Paul has been promoted to the level of competing for the MVP of the league, he still has less than half a point of advantage in the fight against Deron Williams.

Because Deron Williams is a tall point guard with a strong body and a relatively large defensive area. From the perspective of technical characteristics, he completely restrains this type of small steel gun player. Chris Paul is not immune, and Raymond Felton, who is only 185cm tall, is naturally also covered.

In front of Deron Williams, his most honorable power, speed, seems to be unable to play.

In the past few encounters, Deron Williams has always crushed Raymond Felton with an overwhelming advantage.

In the first round of the match between the two, Deron Williams' cross-step connection jumper easily scored in front of Raymond Felton.

Deron Williams and Chris Paul are still a bit similar, that is, they have a mid-range shot that is as stable as an old dog.

In the offensive round, facing Deron Williams' uncompromising defense, Raymond Felton made several crossovers in a row, but in the end he still couldn't get rid of the latter's shackles. Step back and shoot, the basketball goes out of the frame.

Looking back, Deron Williams and Carlos Boozer staged a classic pick-and-roll coordination, hitting the ground to Carlos Boozer, and Boozer hit the mid-range steadily with the crooked machine gun.

Mike Dunleavy attempted a [-]-pointer, but it came up short.

After the Jazz got the backcourt rebound, they launched a fast break. Zhou Lin didn't pay attention, and Kirilenko cut in and dunked himself.

Zhou Lin is finally going to try his own singles. Zhou Lin's shaking almost made Kirilenko lose his best defensive position, and then pull back.

But at the moment of shooting, Kirilenko continued to stick up like a tarsus maggot.

Those long white arms still interfered with Zhou Lin, and Zhou Lin could clearly feel that Kirilenko's fingers rubbed a little bit of his own ball.

Blocked by Kirilenko!

Kirilenko is also one of the few players who can follow Zhou Lin on the offensive end and block Zhou Lin's shots.

Kirilenko's official height is the same as Zhou Lin's, which is 206 feet 2, which is 3 cm, but if you compare it seriously, Zhou Lin is at least [-]-[-] cm taller than Kirilenko.

It's a pity that Kirilenko is also a monster with wingspan, Zhou Lin is very envious.

According to official data, his wingspan has reached an astonishing 7 feet 5, which is about 228 cm. Well, it is about 7 cm longer than Yao Ming, and about 212 cm longer than Zhou Lin's 16 cm.

Of course the ball was missed, Okur got the defensive rebound, and Ronnie Brewer made another shot near the free throw line to add 2 points for the Utah Jazz.

And the Charlotte Bobcats are still fighting. Okafor was blocked by Okur in the interior, and Brandon Roy also missed a shot from the outside. Extremely high, Boozer and Deron Williams made consecutive shots.

A wave of 12-0 dismounts directly made Capel unable to hold on, and a timeout was called more than three minutes into the game.

With 7 minutes and 48 seconds left in the first quarter, Zhou Lincai used a breakthrough layup to create a foul by Okur, and made two free throws to help the team break the scoring shortage.

Since then, the Charlotte Bobcats have not been able to quickly get the feel back.

At the end of the first quarter, the Bobcats only scored 9 points, a new low in a single quarter of the season.

The devil's home court in Salt Lake City really lives up to its name.

31-9, the Utah Jazz took a 22-point lead in the first quarter.

The entire Charlotte Bobcats team was 15 of 2. There were only two sports goals in the first quarter, which were Mohammed's dunk under the basket and Zhou Lin's steal and counterattack layup.

In this section of the game, the outside firepower of the Charlotte Bobcats was collectively inaccurate. Brandon Roy was 3 for 0, Raymond Felton was 2 for 0, Mike Dunleavy was 4 for 0, and Zhou Lin was 4 for 1. .

The pit in the first quarter was not small. Many people, including Jazz fans and many domestic fans who were watching in front of the TV, thought that this would be a massacre, which was a bit boring.

After Capel adjusted the lineup, the situation began to improve.

Zhou Lin and Brandon Roy took Smush Parker, Boris Diaw, and Chris Webber to the second team.

Although Smush Parker couldn't score, he still restrained Deron Williams very well on the defensive end.

And Chris Webber also seemed to be rejuvenated after playing. Facing the opponent's substitute insider, Jalen Collins, he easily scored twice under the basket, which also allowed Okur and Boozer to return to the court early.

Boris Diaw is much better than Mike Dunleavy in defending Carlos Boozer. While his strength can resist Carlos Boozer, he will also use good defense Interference to affect Carlos Boozer's shot.

If you are poor, you want to change. You have already dug such a big hole in the first quarter, so Capel also started to make some unconventional rotations. After coming to the Charlotte Bobcats, he averaged 20.1 points per game. Mike Dunleavy was stuck on the bench by him, and Raymond Felton was also dropped in the second quarter.

And Zhou Lin, here, also made adjustments from mentality to physical.

The Jazz is also a team that is good at defense. It is unrealistic for me to use my personal ability to solve the problem under the defense of Kirilenko, Okur and others. Although the achievement points obtained during this period, All of them have been turned into ability values, but he still can't reach the level of a real league super giant.

What Zhou Lin is willing to do is to change from a ball handler to a terminator.

Return control of the ball to the point guard, or to Boris Diaw.

In the second quarter of the game, Zhou Lin scored 9 points by relying on air cuts, fixed-point three-pointers, and breakthroughs. Boris Diaw also scored a full 5 assists in this quarter.

Although the Bobcats still haven't completely contained the Utah Jazz's offense, compared to the 31 points in the first quarter, the Utah Jazz only scored 21 points in the second quarter, while the Charlotte Bobcats have 29 points in the second quarter. [-] points credited.

38-52, the Charlotte Bobcats reduced the point difference to 14 points, and it was still possible to catch up.
