This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 216 Battle Iron Blood Piston
When Zhou Lin and his Charlotte Bobcats came to the Palace of Auburn Hills, he could feel the pressure that this home brought to any visiting team in the playoffs. The economic glory is gone, but the Motown fans will still give the Detroit Pistons unmatched enthusiasm.

The Detroit Pistons in the regular season are strong, but the Detroit Pistons in the playoffs will be even stronger.

Ranked second in the league in the regular season, below the first team and above the league.

In the summer vacation of his senior year, Zhou Lin watched the Pistons smash the Lakers F4 championship dream on TV.

It is worth mentioning that, unlike most fans who like the Lakers, Zhou Lin was a fan of the Pistons at the time!

Because compared to other teams, this 03-04 championship team has always implemented the belief of tenacity and iron blood. Looking at history, this is also one of the few teams that can win the championship without a superstar.

Americans like the birth of heroism, and the story of a group of 'villains' winning in the end, isn't it wonderfully written?

After three years, the current Zhou Lin also came to the Palace of Auburn Hills to compete with the former idols on the same stage.

Fortunately, none of them were old yet, and Zhou Lin had finally grown to the level where he could compete with them on the same stage.

In the past four years, they have not missed an Eastern Conference Finals, entered the Finals twice, and won the championship once.

Prosperity and decline, the wheels of history are rolling, there is always a trough after the peak, and then climb again and again!
They have lost the big defensive core inside, Ben Wallace, and in the next few years, Chauncey Billups, Rasheed Wallace, Tyshawn Prince, Richard Hamilton left one after another.

From a championship-level team to mediocrity.

The Detroit Pistons in the 07-08 season can be regarded as the last glory.

So, let's have a peak contest!

As for the S+ attribute, it seems that some more complicated conditions are required.

……

August 2008, 4 at 20pm.

Nazr Mohammed and Chris Webber returned to the Palace of Auburn Hills to play the playoffs again. When he played, he was still enthusiastically cheered by the fans.

The big screen also displayed slogans to pay tribute to Chris Webber and Nazr Mohammad, as well as their wonderful performances in the Pistons.

At this time last year, they were wearing the jersey of the Pistons and playing the playoffs with the Detroit Pistons.

Chris Webber averaged 11 points + 5 rebounds per game, and Nazr Mohamed 5.2 points + 2.9 rebounds per game. They were also the core inside players of last year's Pistons.

Before the game, all the Pistons players came over to say hello to the two old friends.

Of course, they are now their masters.

In the locker room before the game, Chris Webber, as the leader of the team's locker room, also said a lot of words to encourage his current teammates. As the oldest player in the team, his average data dropped to 5.2 points + 3.2 rebounds per game His role is more to help young players.

CCTV-5, with Yu Jia and Su Qun as commentators, will explain the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

"The audience in front of the TV, you are watching the first round of the NBA Eastern Conference playoffs broadcast live on CCTV-5. The Detroit Pistons will face the Charlotte Bobcats at home. In this game, Chinese player Zhou Lin will start the game , if you support Zhou Lin or the Charlotte Bobcats, please send a text message..."

"The fans are really enthusiastic. The support rate of the Charlotte Bobcats is as high as 95%. It can be seen that the Chinese fans are almost overwhelmingly supporting the Charlotte Bobcats."

"After all, Zhou Lin is the only player in China who is still in the playoffs. Yi Jianlian's Atlanta Hawks are already out of the game after ranking ninth in the Eastern Conference. Although the Houston Rockets have entered the playoffs, Yao Ming's team is still in the playoffs. At the end of February, he was diagnosed with a fractured scaphoid bone, and it is almost certain that he will miss this year's playoffs."

"Our CCTV reporter also interviewed Zhou Lin before the game, and now let's cut his clips..."

"...I am very excited to compete with such a strong team. Although the opponent is very strong, I am also very confident that the team that can have the last laugh is our Charlotte Bobcats."

Zhou Lin looked very domineering in front of the TV.

Of course, this is also brought about by his role change. Although it is only the second year of his NBA career, Zhou Lin has changed from a rookie player to the real leader of the team. As a leader, he needs to show Not humble, but more domineering.

He needs to change and infect this team in terms of ability and spirit.

"Aside from the results of the regular season, the playoffs are a completely different start!"

When the darkness is lit, the night in Auburn Hills is like day!
Let's fight, let's fight!
For the Charlotte Bobcats, the lineup has been changed as follows.

One position: No. 20, Raymond Felton.

No. 17: No. [-], Mike Dunleavy.

Position three: No. 35, Zhou Lin.

Fourth position: No. 50, Emeka Okafor.

Fifth position: No. 13, Nazr Mohammad.

While pulling Mohammed into the starting lineup, he put Mike Dunleavy at the No. 2 position.

The Detroit Pistons are still a regular lineup.

One position: No. 1, Chauncey Billups.

Second position: No. 32, Richard Hamilton.

The third position: No. 22, Tyshawn Prince.

Fourth position: No. 36, Rasheed Wallace.

Fifth position: No. 24, Antonio McDyess.

jump ball!

Facing the old owner, Nazr Mohammed faced Antonio McDyess and put the ball in the hands of Dunleavy, and the Charlotte Bobcats won the first wave of possession.

Facing Chauncey Billups' forcing defense, Raymond Felton chose to pass the ball to Mike Dunleavy. Mike Dunleavy made a fake hand-off with Zhou Lin, and then held the ball himself The ball rushed to the inside, but Hamilton, who had quick eyes and quick hands, directly copied Mike Dunleavy's ball in the middle of the lane.

In the regular season, the Detroit Pistons conceded only a terrifying 90.1 points per game, ranking first in the league in conceding the fewest points.

And in the playoffs where whistleblowing is looser, their defensive efficiency is likely to be even higher.

Of course, this team also has a drawback, that is, there is no absolute ultra-close scorer.

The team also didn't have a player with 20 points.

Among them, Richard Hamilton, the highest, only had 17.2 points.

Although Hamilton has the reputation of being the king of CIC, his breakthrough ability ceiling is not high, and his physique is thin, so his impact is not enough.

Chauncey Billups averaged 17 points per game and 3.3 three-pointers per game. He is basically a player who focuses on outside shooting, organization and outside defense.

Prince Prince with 13.2 points and 33-year-old Rasheed Wallace are the other two players who scored in double figures.

This wave of the ball was given to Rasheed Wallace. He pushed in a few times, but faced with the younger Emeka Okafor who has excellent wingspan, he was affected by the shot , hit the iron directly.

The ball returned to the Charlotte Bobcats. Zhou Lin tried to catch the ball from the outside, but Prince basically covered Zhou Lin and did not give him a chance to catch the ball. Can Tyshawn Prince He gained a foothold in the Pistons and was qualified to start more because of his defense. Since the 04 season, he has been selected to the second team of the best defense for three consecutive seasons, and he is also a rare matchup in the league. Zhou Lin's player with the right height and speed, of course, his wingspan is not as terrifying as the Jazz's Kirilenko.

If Zhou Lin wants to catch the ball, he has to constantly use pick-and-rolls to run positions.

Raymond Felton failed to make a breakthrough, so he could only turn his gun around and take a shot from the outside, but he was greatly affected. Although he was not small, he still had to deal with a point guard with a strong core like Billups. There was really nothing to do, after a few body collisions, the movements were severely deformed.

Of course, the Pistons' offense is also constipated.

Hamilton's catch-and-shoot bounced out of the frame.

The Charlotte Bobcats sent 206CM Mike Dunleavy to defend Hamilton, just to block the opponent's shots.

In this game, Mike Dunleavy was basically preparing to trade with Hamilton.

Zhou Lin finally got the pass in the next round. Facing Prince's defense, Zhou Lin asked for a pick-and-roll and went inside to face Rasheed Wallace's defense, but Zhou Lin hesitated a little Suddenly, the Pistons' sense of urgency came.

Hamilton on one side quickly rushed up, and Prince behind him was like a big net.

Can't go in, can't go back!
Zhou Lin chose to pass the ball, but the ball was seen by Chauncey Billups.

This is also the way the Pistons used to deal with Zhou Lin.

They can think of Zhou Lin as a James whose physical talent has dropped two levels, but his shooting has improved by one level.

Therefore, the method of dealing with James was almost applied to Zhou Lin.

Use the best forward defenders to target Zhou Lin, and at the same time cut off the connection between Zhou Lin and his teammates.

In fact, Zhou Lin has long been studied by the Pistons under a magnifying glass.

The Pistons rarely played a fast break.

Zhou Lin played back desperately, Billups did not choose to force a layup when facing Felton, but directly passed back to Hamilton who followed up.

Instead of a layup, Hamilton chose a jumper.

Zhou Lin was almost three meters away from Hamilton. With the help of a few sprints, he jumped high and directly blocked Hamilton's mid-range shot.

Hamilton looked at Zhou Lin with a helpless expression.

This speed looks like a 208CM player.

The ball fell into the hands of Mike Dunleavy, Mike Dunleavy and Zhou Lin understood, Zhou Lin quickly ran to one side, Mike Dunleavy made a fake shot, which attracted the defense, and Zhou Lin's vertical When the cut was made, Dunleavy hit the ground directly.

Zhou Lin jumped up high, but although Antonio McDyess and Rasheed Wallace were a little late, they also wanted to make up for it.

Especially Rasheed Wallace, how could he allow Zhou Lin to dunk on his head like this!

A slap directly hit Zhou Lin's face, and Zhou Lin was slapped to the ground!
"Boy, don't fucking try to dunk on my head, you won't be able to do it in your life!" Rasheed Wallace spat out trash talk.

Zhou Lin fell to the floor, feeling pain in his elbow.

Mike Dunleavy and Emeka Okafor stood up and walked towards Rasheed Wallace.

We must seek an explanation for Zhou Lin.

However, being blocked by Mohammed as a peacemaker, Zhou Lin also stood up in time to prevent the dispute from resuming.

After watching the replay, the referee gave Rasheed Wallace a T!

It was only a few minutes into the game, and the true nature of the Pistons began to be exposed.

After the team doctor confirmed that Zhou Lin was fine, he took a deep breath and stood on the free throw line!

The defense of the Pistons in this playoffs is really terrifying!

It's so hard to score!
