This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 228 The Sixth Scene!
"Zhou, it's Sean, Sean...Williams, your teammate."

Misha opened the door, and a visitor called Zhou Lin who was watching the game video in the audio-visual room.

"Oh, please come in!"

Zhou Lin shouted.

"Hey Zhou, the house is really nice and looks very comfortable, are you watching the video?"

This is the first time for Sean Williams to come here. In fact, during the winning streak in March of the season, Zhou Lin invited team members to eat Chinese food at home, but Sean Williams did not come at that time, so this is His first visit.

"Of course, the Detroit Pistons are a very strong team, and they are also a very worthwhile learning object. Their defense and their rhythm control are what we all need to learn."

"The second game in Detroit, this game, but didn't we replay it once?" When he saw that Zhou Lin was watching the G2 game in the playoffs, which was also the game that he lost, he was surprised. Said.

"This is a game we lost with a full lineup. One time is not enough. We have to find out the crux of the problem. Only a player who is good at learning and thinking can stay in this league longer."

"He's watched it at least five times and locks himself up whenever he can. He's such a basketball nerd."

Misha came in with fruit and tea and said, "Xion, can you just drink plain water? Zhou Lin doesn't like drinks, so at home... But, I'm worried that you are not used to drinking Chinese tea."

"It's okay, I understand, water is fine."

"week……"

"Let's watch the tape of this game first and then talk about other things."

Sean Williams nodded, and watched the game with Zhou Lin quietly.

"What a great team."

After reading it, Zhou Lin had to say with emotion: "To be honest, the absolute talent of this team is not strong, but they have been able to enter the Eastern Conference Finals for many consecutive years, and even win the championship. Billups is the brains, Rasheed Wallace is the strong thighs, Prince is the broad shoulders, Hamilton is the most deft hands..."

"Do you spend a lot of time watching videos every day?"

"Well, of course, I don't have too many hobbies, and I think watching videos is a good way to learn. If you don't watch it once, you will gain more."

"Admirable professional attitude."

Sean Williams said.

"Either don't do it, or do it the best you can."

Zhou Lindao: "Look for me for something?"

"Well, I hope to get your support, and I hope to get playing time in the next game, but it seems that Coach Capel doesn't particularly like me."

"Very frank."

"Zhou, you know, I can do a lot of things, I can rebound, I can block shots, I can catch the ball and dunk, I can really help the team, of course, I also need such a chance to prove myself."

Chris Webber after G5 Tianwangshan, after the post-match inspection, determined that his ribs were broken and could not continue to play in the playoffs. At the same time, he has already started to retire. This summer, he will not include any NBA team including the Bobcats After signing the contract, he will start a new life journey.

Although the Bobcats won the battle of Tianwangshan, their internal disadvantages became more and more obvious. The sixth game, the home game against the Detroit Pistons, will be a desperate moment for both teams.

The Bobcats have to be ready.

The shortage of insiders, coupled with Zhou Lincai's rotation of three insiders, is obviously not thick enough, but Coach Capel is hesitating whether to find a usable insider in the team.

Now, in the team, there are two other inside players, Sean Williams OR Osella Harrington.

The regular season data of the two is almost the same, one is Sean Williams who has just entered the league, and the other is 34-year-old Osella Harrington who is entering the twilight.

Sean Williams, as a first-round pick, played 57 games this season, started 0 games, averaged 9.5 minutes per game, scored 2.9 points and 1.9 rebounds, and is an out-and-out drinking fountain player for the team, but Now he ushered in his opportunity, so he took the initiative to find Zhou Lin for help.

Because Zhou Lin is not only the current number one core of the team, but also has a good personal relationship with head coach Capel, as long as Zhou Lin is willing to speak, then Sean Williams' chance will come.

According to the correct historical trajectory, Sean Williams should have been selected by the New Jersey Nets, and he had been teammates with Yi Jianlian for a period of time. Of course, what the Chinese people remember most is that in a 3V3 training game In the game, Sean Williams elbowed Yi Jianlian, causing the latter to have 50 stitches.

Sean Williams' physical talent is not bad, and his jumping ability has reached S.

But the ability to run and jump is very strong, which is not uncommon among black big men in the NBA.

But as a 208 cm center forward, Sean Williams weighs only 3kg more than Zhou Lin, who plays the No. 1.5 position this season, and his overall confrontation ability is not even as good as Zhou Lin. There are many disadvantages, and the offensive method is also very simple, that is, eating cakes, there are almost no post-ups at the basket, or mid-range.

If you look for the only shining point, in Zhou Lin's eyes, it is his ability to block shots.

The average playing time is less than 10 minutes per game, but he can block 0.9 shots per game.

Of course, this trait does not have a particularly good place to play against the Detroit Pistons.

Sean Williams' blocks are more of blocking the layup of the defender breaking through, which is a supplementary defense with a keen sense of smell, rather than a single-defense inside player's block.

The individual breakthrough ability of the Detroit Pistons can be said to be in the lower middle of the league, basically making a fuss about the mid-range, so Sean Williams' strengths are not easy to display.

And in history, he was eliminated by the NBA early because of his single skill and lack of training. He moved to professional leagues in many countries, and even once panned for gold in the Chinese sub-league NBL.

Zhou Lin didn't immediately agree to Sean Williams, but asked Sean Williams to be on his team during the training session that afternoon.

As for the advantage of a good passer for an insider, just think about Andre Jordan in the future. Paul should have fed the final pick of the second round into an All-Star.

If it was only a choice between the two, Zhou Lin still hoped to use the young Sean Williams instead of the old Osella Harrington.

Because in the afternoon match, Sean Williams and Zhou Lin completed at least 4 alley-oop dunks, at least the ability to eat cakes is still there.

Also because of Zhou Lin's recommendation, Sean Williams entered the activation list.

Of course, his time will not be too much, probably about 10-15 minutes.

At the same time, the pattern of the first round of the playoffs between the East and the West has gradually become clear.

The Los Angeles Lakers swept the Denver Nuggets 4-0, as in history.

The Houston Rockets were defeated by the San Antonio Spurs 1-4. Even though the league structure has been changed, it is still unavoidable that the Yao-Mike combination will be limited in breaking through the bottleneck of the first round.

On the other side, the Phoenix Suns beat the Utah Jazz in the first round of the playoffs and eliminated the Utah Jazz 4-1.

Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant finally met in the playoffs, and this time they will start playing as opponents.

And this is also the Suns and Lakers, who have met in the playoffs for three consecutive years.

In another set of matchups, the Orleans Hornets sent the Dallas Mavericks out 4-1 lightly, slapping countless ball critics. They will fight the San Antonio Spurs in the semifinals.

In contrast, this year's Eastern Conference playoffs.

Except for the Orlando Magic who simply swept the Toronto Raptors out 4-1, the other three matchups all entered the sixth game, even the Celtics!
On May 5, after 2 days, Detroit and the Pistons will also usher in the sixth game.

The former champion of the Eastern Conference was cornered by the league's new army. For the Detroit Pistons, it was a desperate battle.

"Hello viewers in front of the TV, this is the CCTV-5 sports channel, and the sixth game of the NBA playoff series between the Charlotte Bobcats and the Detroit Pistons is about to start. The Charlotte Bobcats sit at home and have a good chance of knocking out the mighty Detroit Pistons to reach the Eastern Conference semifinals..."

Hundreds of millions of domestic fans are waiting for the start of this game.

Zhou Lin's mother, sister, Misha, Wang Hanxiang, and high school coach Jim were all invited by Zhou Lin to watch this game, and Zhou Lin also hoped to end this round of the series in this game.

No Charlotte Bobcats player wants the game to return to the hellish home of the Detroit Pistons.

On the Bobcats side, all bosses, big and small, were present.

Rasheed Wallace jumped to the first possession for the Detroit Pistons as soon as the game opened, and the game officially began!
In this game, the first ball was played by Rasheed Wallace. Facing Okafor's defense, Rasheed Wallace played very hard. After turning around, Slam dunk directly under the basket.

"This Rasheed Wallace hasn't fought like this in the past two years."

Not only the fans at the scene, but even the CCTV commentator reacted like this: "This is a desperate effort. It seems that the Pistons have never encountered such troubles in the first round of the playoffs. They have entered the Eastern Conference Finals for 4 consecutive years. Now, if you're not careful, you're really going to be eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by the young Charlotte Bobcats."

"If you don't fight now, when will you fight!"

Old man!

Rasheed Wallace is also using his own actions to prove that they are not completely old, and they will be in the league for a while, and the Charlotte Bobcats are also giving a very tough answer.

Facing Prince's defense that almost blocked his face, Zhou Lin still scored the ball and won 2+1.

However, in this game, Hamilton, who was very broken in this round of the series, stood up and hit the mid-range three times in a row. The CIC textbook started class.

In five games in the series, Richard Hamilton, the team's leading scorer in the regular season, averaged only 14.6 points, 3.6 assists and 3.3 rebounds per game, shooting less than 42% from the field, and only 28% from three-pointers. One of the major causes of today's troubles.

In the first quarter, Prince performed well.

His two consecutive fights with Zhou Lin on the inside, and his more attack on the inside caused Zhou Lin to quickly receive two personal fouls, so he had to rest.

This also affected Zhou Lin's performance to a certain extent.

In fact, Zhou Lin's shooting in the first quarter was good, and he scored 4 points in 3 of 7 against Prince.

Although Raymond Felton and Mike Dunleavy broke through to the basket to score points at the end of the first quarter.

But the Charlotte Bobcats still trailed the Detroit Pistons by 22 points 29-7 in the first quarter.

Among them, Hamilton scored 10 points in this quarter. Even with enough interference from Dunleavy, Mask Man was able to hit a hundred shots and hit 5 of 5 in the first quarter!

Resoluteness and no leeway created the initiative of the Detroit Pistons.

Of course, he must stand up at this moment, otherwise, once eliminated, the person who is responsible for the blame in the Detroit Pistons must be him.

Sean Williams finally went up with Zhou Lin at the beginning of the second quarter.

The slightly young Sean Williams is 8 months older than Zhou Lin, but because he stayed in college for three years, he came to the NBA a year later than Zhou Lin.

His slightly thin body soon encountered the care of the Pistons.

Facing the hilly Maxhill, Sean Williams quickly lost two fouls.

The Detroit Pistons also took advantage of this to establish a double-digit lead early.

Capel shook his head off the field.

"take it easy."

Zhou Lin patted Sean Williams and said, "I'll try to give you a pass to get a feel for it."

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

Zhou Lin motioned to Raymond Felton and said, "Try to speed up the pace, this is your strength."

This is a physical and psychological battle. The Detroit Pistons have come out with the attitude of playing in the finals, and the Charlotte Bobcats, more or less because there is still some room for maneuver, there is still a victory. The advantage of the market, so there is no momentum to break the ax into the boat.

Sean Williams is a lightweight insider, he is much faster than Mohammed, plus Emeka Okafor, the current Charlotte Bobcats can run and play of.

And in the next round, after Raymond Felton took the ball and slid down, he passed it to Zhou Lin, and Zhou Lin attracted the attention of the defense and threw it to Sean Williams with a high throw.

Shane Williams dunks the ball into the basket.

"Good job Sean, you need to jump to the top and stay focused!"

Sean Williams, who scored the first point in the playoffs, was also very excited and shouted: "I like this feeling, I can catch all the high throws."
