This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 234 Three points of heavy rain, three quarters of 32 points to clock out

Sharad Lewis made one of two free throws and wasted a round that could have easily scored.

Looking back, Zhou Lin and Boris Dior once again completed an exquisite assist cooperation. After Boris Dior's fake hand cut inward to attract a pincer attack, it was given to Zhou Lin who moved in from one side, and Zhou Lin attracted again. Defender, a back pass to Boris Diaw who puts the ball in the basket with ease.

The Orlando Magic were almost stunned, as if they were being played.

Looking back, under the attack of Zhou Lin and Okafor, Warcraft Howard made a mistake again. Mike Dunleavy directly hit a three-pointer after receiving a pass from Zhou Lin.

18-7，两边的分差迅速被拉开到11分的差距，比赛这才进行到第一节的5分23秒。

"The Orlando Magic are completely out of shape here, as if they just came back from a vacation, and the players seem to be lazy. They probably haven't trained well during the rest days, and when they heard that the opponent is the Charlotte Bobcats, I guess Crazy too."

Slack and blind optimism made this third team in the Eastern Conference play very irregularly.

The Charlotte Bobcats are more likely to come to a tough battle.

The current situation of the Orlando Magic is completely undefendable and impossible to attack. The loss of outside shooters also makes the monster inside may be double-teamed at any time.

Although Stan Van Gundy has repeatedly emphasized defense and moving the ball, the players still haven't entered the state for a long time.

And the outside shooting of the Charlotte Bobcats was too good in the first quarter.

At the end of the first quarter, Zhou Lin and Mike Dunleavy scored two three-pointers alone, and Boris Diaw and Raymond Felton scored one three-pointers each, making 10 of 6 three-pointers in a single quarter.

In the first quarter of the game, the Charlotte Bobcats finally led by 34 points 15-19. It is worth mentioning that throughout the first quarter, the Orlando Magic were completely lost in front of the home basket. 7 of 0 points, of which Warcraft Howard scored 15 of the 11 points.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Zhou Lin was put on the bench by Capel because the score advantage was a bit large.

The team's rookie Ramon Sessions also had a rare chance to play for the first time. This season, he played most of the time in the Development League, but he played well in the Development League. Boykins, the shortest player in the league signed by the team, is not very useful, and he has problems on the defensive end. Pell also intends to train Sessions to become the team's second choice at the point guard position.

As for the Magic, it is natural to think that this is a good time to chase points. Indeed, the Orlando Magic’s touch has begun to pick up. Jamal Nelson finally hit the Magic’s first goal at the beginning of the second quarter. three-pointer.

But Ramon Sessions, who made his debut in the playoffs, turned back a three-pointer.

Zhou Lin was also very happy as Sessions waved the towel on the bench. The point guard at the end of the second round has a limited upper limit, but as an NBA rotation point guard, he is fully qualified.

His personality is very similar to that of Brandon Roy, he is a little silent, and he never boasted in interviews with the media, and even made people feel a little cold, but for training, he was extremely hardworking and hardworking. He signed It is a contract with no guarantee, and it may be swept out by the team at any time.

Can hit a three-pointer in the first step, and dare to shoot a three-pointer.

For a marginal player on the team, it is not a kind of success.

To the delight of Capel and Zhou Lin, Ramon Sessions fully assumed the task of organizing the second team. In addition to his own scoring, he also assisted Felton, who moved to the second position, to make a three-pointer ball.

The Orlando Magic also failed to get close to the score quickly.

Zhou Lin didn't make his debut until 7 minutes and 49 seconds into the second quarter.

At this moment, the Charlotte Bobcats are still leading 45-30 by 15 points. When Zhou Lin came back, Warcraft Howard also came back.

Warcraft Howard scored 2+1 against Nazr Mohammed's defense under the basket in the first round of his return. Unfortunately, his +1 still failed to make a free throw.

Zhou Lin, who scored 12 points in the first quarter, was still hot in the second quarter. Facing the defense of Sharad Lewis, Zhou Lin's three-pointer was almost within reach.

This time, it was two more three-pointers.

"Zhou Lin's hands are hot today, oh ho, no matter how you cast."

Sharad Lewis was helpless. He really didn't dare to stick too hard. Zhou Lin's moving speed was obviously faster than him. Once he got too close, Zhou Lin almost missed him with a cross step. His body went inside.

But as long as Lewis takes a small step, even if there is a little gap, Zhou Lin will unceremoniously pull up and shoot.

This is not a second-year rookie, Sharad Lewis feels like he is guarding a freshman Tracy McGrady.

However, in the second quarter, the Magic's outside touch also opened up. The team's point forward, Zhou Lin's template Hedo Turkoglu, finally made a three-pointer from the outside. , Missed all 3 shots, and Mike Dunleavy started to let Turkoglu shoot.

In fact, after entering the playoffs, Turkoglu's three-pointer was indeed outrageous. Not only did he face the Charlotte Bobcats today, but he faced the Toronto Raptors in five games in the last round. 18 of 2, the hit rate is only a dumbfounding 11%, you must know that Turkoglu, the three-pointer hit rate in the regular season is as high as 40%, except for Jamal Nelson's 41% and Sharad Lewis' 40.5 %, ranked third in the team, averaged 5 shots per game, and could hit 2 three-pointers.

Stan Van Gundy is now seeing Turkoglu raising his hand to shoot a three-pointer. I am afraid that he is psychologically shadowed. Fortunately, he made the shot.

But today's three-pointer from the Charlotte Bobcats was really amazing. Not only Zhou Lin, but Felton also made two three-pointers in the second quarter.

It's going to rain threes on the Orlando Magic -- no, it's raining.

"How do I look at it now, as long as the Charlotte Bobcats raise their hands outside the three-point line, it feels like it's there."

The commentary on CCTV-5 also has this feeling.

And the mentality of their opponents, the Orlando Magic, is probably about to jump.

However, at the end of the half, the Charlotte Bobcats finally missed consecutive three-pointers. With Dwight Howard's consecutive inside dunks, the Orlando Magic continued to chase points, but this quarter of the game Still lose points.

Dwight Howard scored 21 points and 11 rebounds at halftime, but no one in the team scored in double figures.

62-41, the Charlotte Bobcats have achieved a 21-point lead.

Zhou Lin scored 24 points in the half game, including 6 of 5 three-pointers.

In addition, Mike Dunleavy and Raymond Felton each scored 3 three-pointers. In addition, Ramon Sessions, Boris Diaw, and Jeff McGinnis also scored three-pointers.

If I remember correctly, the 14 three-pointers in the half have created the historical record of the current playoffs.

To be honest, the Charlotte Bobcats have never had such an easy playoff game.

The game against the Detroit Pistons was extremely stalemate, and the score difference at halftime has never exceeded 15 points.

Of course, the Orlando Magic are even more confused.

During the regular season, the two teams faced each other four times. The Orlando Magic took a 3-1 lead, but at that time the Charlotte Bobcats had a neat team, and Brandon Roy was still there. It's not that hard.

How should I put it, the team that can cross the mountain of the Detroit Pistons is destined to have a period of sublimation.

Just like the old Chicago Bulls.

The prelude to the second half was drawn quickly. If the score could not be shortened and remained above 20 points, then the fourth quarter might be reduced to garbage time.

Even if you want to lose, you can't lose so badly, and this is still at home, okay?
You must know that when the official media on the Orlando Magic team knew that the opponent was the Charlotte Bobcats, the joy could not be concealed.

Now, they are about to be beaten into scum.

As soon as the third quarter came back, the Orlando Magic undoubtedly began to become impatient, especially Dwight Howard, who also stopped laughing and joking. Bullying the inside of the Charlotte Bobcats is in short supply, and they also hit consecutive inside hooks.

The score was forced to 17 points.

Zhou Lin raised his hand from the outside line, and Sharad Lewis immediately rushed forward.

Now Zhou Lin's three-point shooting rate is higher than that of going inside. Anyway, there is still Dwight Howard who can make up defense. Zhou Lin easily went inside and faced Dwight Howard's defense. , throwing the ball high.

Emeka Okafor lobs the ball into the basket.

He also let out a fierce anger. He was abused by Dwight Howard for several rounds just now.

"Thanks, Zhou."

Emeka Okafor stretched out her palm and made a five sign, which means I accept the five thousand dollars.

Emeka Okafor's physical talent is not bad, with a wingspan of 2.25 meters, not worse than Howard, but he started to gain weight deliberately and the accompanying injuries, which led to Okafor gradually In the Bobcats, he tends to be the second and third figures, and even has a blue-collar trend.

Boris Dior, who was on the side, said, "It's just a little short, and the five thousand dollars is mine."

"Boris, I passed the ball to you too." Zhou Lin said with a smile.

At the moment, the Charlotte Bobcats are in a very harmonious scene, and they feel like they are getting better and better.

Although Sharad Lewis first broke through and dunked against Zhou Lin's defense, and then scored from a mid-range fallback, but unfortunately, today's Orlando Magic was brought torrential rain by the guests.

Zhou Lin's sixth three-pointer and seventh three-pointer came quickly, and tied Mike Dunleavy's record of seven three-pointers in Game 7 against the Pistons.

Before the end of the three quarters, Zhou Lin easily scored 30 points.

Sharad Lewis was obviously a little impatient, and wanted to score quickly, but was caught by Zhou Lin. Mike Dunleavy helped Zhou Lin catch the broken ball and gave it to Zhou Lin. Now the Zhou Lin felt like he was walking in the garden, and even glanced back at Sharad Lewis who was chasing forward, and completed the round with a 360° dunk.

It's even more heartbreaking to kill someone!

"Zhou Lin has already scored 32 points. If he plays the whole game, it is estimated that 40+ is not a problem, but now the difference between the two sides has widened to 26 points. The fourth quarter of the game may also be reduced to garbage time. Otherwise, we can really look forward to Zhou Lin scoring 40+ points in the playoffs for the first time in his career."

"If I remember correctly, Zhou Lin scored 47 points in a regular season game. According to today's feeling, after playing four quarters, I even think he can score 50 points."

The CCTV commentator saw Zhou Lin's superb performance and discussed Zhou Lin's records in a comfortable mood.

Unfortunately, the third quarter ended.

The Charlotte Bobcats are already 90-62, leading by as much as 28 points.

Stan Van Gundy didn't even let Howard, Turkoglu, and Lewis play again in the fourth quarter.

Capel can't let Zhou Lin go up to score points anymore. After all, this is also the rules of the world. The main players Mike Dunleavy, Emeka Okafor, Boris Dior, etc. have all been replaced. Substitutes, those players who have never played in the playoffs, Boykins, Derek Anderson, Osella Harrington and other players, all got the chance to play.

Zhou Lin also rarely enjoyed the thrill of clocking in for three quarters, sitting on the bench, drinking drinks, talking and laughing happily, waiting for the end of the game.

Of course, the Magic didn't make any waves in the fourth quarter.

In the end, the Charlotte Bobcats won the game 108-88 in an away game, and at the same time won the G1 victory in the Eastern Conference semifinals, erasing the home court of the Orlando Magic.

In this game, the Charlotte Bobcats made 29 of 19 three-pointers, which was particularly terrifying.

周林只打了26分钟，但是却砍下了32分5助攻4篮板1封盖，其中三分球是恐怖的9中7。

In addition, Mike Dunleavy scored 19 points and 6 rebounds, Boris Diaw scored 11 points, Raymond Felton scored 17 points and 5 assists, and Emeka Okafor scored 14 points and 8 rebounds. Sessions, who played in the game, also scored 8 points.

On the side of the Magic, Dwight Howard still showed strong inside dominance, scoring 35 points, 17 rebounds and 3 blocks. It is a pity that the other two giants of the team did not perform well. Sarah De Lewis scored 17 of 6 and scored 14 points and 7 rebounds. Hedo Turkoglu scored 11 of 3 and only scored 8 points and 3 assists.
