This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 279 The violent birthday night of 54 points

"Listen, I don't want to lose this game, keep your spirits up."

Zhou Lin said to his teammates: "If you guys fail to put the basketball into the basket, then create opportunities for me, and I can get rid of the eagle cubs."

Zhou Lin is not a selfish player. In many cases, he is willing to share the ball. In order to help his teammates and cultivate their confidence, he is willing to give up a large part of his shot rights, but everything is based on the premise of winning the game. .

He can be transformed into a cake maker, and he can also be promoted to a massacre madman, and tonight Zhou Lin's hand feeling is overwhelming!
He even had a hunch that he was going to break the scoring record again. His previous regular season scoring record was 47 points, which he scored against the New Jersey Nets in the 07-08 season.

"Except for Zhou Lin, the Bobcats' players seem to be out of shape, and today's Atlanta Hawks are too accurate, and Mike Bibby has also completed his organizational work very well. The whole team is like an operation. The perfect machine, the Atlanta Hawks will definitely be a tough opponent for the Charlotte Bobcats if they meet in the playoffs."

The commentator on the scene was also worried about the current situation of the team, and the camera lens was also aimed at Yi Jianlian. Although he started the game and played 16 minutes, he only scored 5 points and 1 rebounds in 4 of 3 and scored 2 rebounds. The data of [-] turnovers is obviously inconsistent with everyone's expectations for Yi Jianlian.

"Happy birthday, but sorry to screw up your birthday night!"

Joe Johnson looked at the 16-point half-time lead and the team's overall game feeling. He always thought that the game was a sure thing, so he relaxed and teased Zhou Lin.

"Thank you, but it's not over yet."

Zhou Lin patted Joe Johnson's butt and smiled.

"except you."

Joe Johnson said: "The rest of your players are sleepwalking, do you still want to win this game?"

"One moment, another moment!"

Zhou Lin said with a smile: "I will always believe in my teammates, just like my teammates will always believe in me."

Joe Johnson also patted Zhou Lin on the shoulder and said nothing, and the second half of the game officially started.

"Hey, don't let Zhou get the ball easily!"

Everyone knows that Zhou Lin's hands are hot today, and Joe Johnson shouted loudly as the team leader.

The Eagles have already begun to make arrangements for Zhou Lin's scoring, which is so strict that it starts with receiving the ball.

Josh Smith shoulders the responsibility of defending Zhou Lin, but although he has the potential to become a high-quality defender, he can be the kind of talent who can defend from 1 to 5. Unfortunately, Josh Smith cannot last for 48 minutes Concentration on the court, and Larry Brown also knew very clearly that the Eagles must deploy to attack Zhou Lin's oppressive defense. Therefore, after the start of the second half, Yi Jianlian and Mbah a Moute were assigned A lot of tasks for Zhou Lin to do off-ball screens.

It can be said that everyone knows that the Charlotte Bobcats should give the ball first to Zhou Lin, but helplessly, Zhou Lin can still get the basketball after running continuously and attack the basket , in the first round back to the court, Zhou Lin used his left hand to break through to the basket. Facing Robin Lopez, who is better at defense, Zhou Lin directly dunked the opponent at the start, helping the team improve morale.

"Oh, my God, Zhou Lin is going to become a hero!"

The live commentator of the Bobcats shouted loudly: "He is telling the opponent that the game is far from over!"

"Yes, everyone wants to win the game on their birthday night, and then celebrate happily with their friends. Zhou Lin has scored 24 points so far, and this is only the first in the beginning of the third quarter. round!"

"Defense!"

Just like the Atlanta Hawks couldn't defend against Zhou Lin, the Charlotte Bobcats also seemed a little helpless in the face of the Atlanta Hawks who exploded with all members. The arrival of Mike Bibby made this team really glow Vitality, although Mike Bibby is far inferior to Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Steve Nash and Jason Kidd in terms of assists, but his arrival is really The Atlanta Hawks have been combined, and the former singles Joe, as well as Josh Smith, can pass well in this system.

With a bang, Josh Smith shot a three-pointer almost against Zhou Lin, and it went into the frame firmly!
If it has always been so accurate, the Atlanta Hawks may really become the winner at home in Charlotte tonight.

After halftime of silence, Brandon Roy finally made his first three-pointer of the game and the third three-pointer in the past four games, which was a response to Josh Smith's just now. three-pointer.

Not only that, but Yi Jianlian, who is the core of the two teams' trading, finally gained the upper hand in the direct confrontation with Robin Lopez. Facing Robin Lopez's dunk, Yi Jianlian used a very morale-boosting block. It directly blocked the latter's must-have goal from outside the basket.

"From Yi's block, he guarded the Bobcats' basket. This block looks very clean. Even the rule-makers of basketball can't find any faults!"

The commentator at the scene was also excited.

After the cover was blocked, Yi Jianlian was also very excited to bump his chest with Zhou Lin.

It is impossible for the Eagles to shoot so accurately at all times. Finally, after slowly advancing in the third quarter, the Eagles' shooting touch began to decline significantly.

Mike Bibby missed a three-pointer, Josh Smith missed a three-pointer, Boris Diaw missed a three-pointer.

This gave the Charlotte Bobcats a chance to chase points. Unfortunately, Zhou Lin also had a brief power outage in the third quarter. However, relying on breakthroughs and making fouls, Zhou Lin kept walking to the free throw line in the third quarter. , cut off points.

And as Zhou Lin's teammate in the Eastern All-Star Game, Joe Johnson also started his personal offensive mode at the end of the third quarter. Facing Luke Mbah a Moute's defense, although he did not have an advantage in height, he was not only on the outside He made a good shot and squeezed into the paint twice, taking advantage of his weight to hit Mbah a Moute several times. With an average of 21.5 points per game this season, he is still the top scorer of the relatively balanced Atlanta Hawks.

With Zhou Lin's quick layup, the third quarter ended.

In the third quarter, although Zhou Lin's shooting touch was average, only 8 of 3, he went to the free throw line 8 times, hit 7 of them, and scored 14 points in a single quarter. At the end of the third quarter, Zhou Lin Lin already scored 36 points and 5 assists!
The team still fell behind by 66 points at 79-13. It has to be mentioned that Joe Johnson scored 13 points in a single quarter against Biao Lin and won 18 of the team's 13 points. This is why The reason why the Charlotte Bobcats couldn't get within 10 points.

Zhou Lin only rested for less than 4 minutes in the first three quarters, and the first and third quarters were full. In this case, Zhou Lin basically did not plan to rest in the fourth quarter.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Atlanta Hawks completed the cooperation between the five players. Marvin Williams, who came off the bench, made a mid-range jumper. In this game, although Marvin Williams was on the bench , but playing time continued, and he has already scored 15 points, the highest score on the bench, even better than the starting power forward Boris Diaw with 7 points and 3 assists.

However, Zhou Lin's outside touch that he lost in the third quarter also found back in the early part of the fourth quarter. Facing Maurice Evans, who came up to defend him from the bench, this 1.96-meter-long forward and guard swingman has no appointment. Sh. Smith's oppressive force, even after Zhou Lin made the first three-pointer, he switched to Marvin Williams to defend himself, but Zhou Lin still scored a three-pointer.

81-72!

After two three-pointers, the score was brought within 10 points, and the head coach of the Eagles, Mike Woodson, quickly called a timeout.

With 9 minutes and 46 seconds left in the game, Zhou Lin has already scored 42 points, which is only 47 points away from his career high of 5 points.

Although the team is still leading, Coach Woodson is very dissatisfied with the players' defense. He is now building a defensive system. The restrictions on Zhou Lin in positional warfare have actually reached the extreme. Unfortunately, Zhou Lin is actually a bug in positional warfare.

Josh Smith had just rested for less than 3 minutes, and was replaced by Mike Woodson again. He had to play. The momentum of the Charlotte Bobcats was completely up!
And in order to limit Zhou Lin, Woodson means that except for Zhou Lin, other players of the Charlotte Bobcats can shoot. Going up and down, using both hands and feet, did play a certain role, but just like your Eagles can't make shots forever, it's impossible for me to make shots forever.

The first to stand out was rookie Luke Mbah a Moute. He was entrusted with a heavy responsibility in this game for the third time this season. Unfortunately, the first three quarters were only dismal with 5 points, 2 rebounds and 4 turnovers. After receiving the ball from Zhou Lin, Mbah a Moute finally made a shot.

Another three-pointer!

83-75!

It was another three-pointer, and the Charlotte Bobcats felt like they were going to start.

Looking back, the Atlanta Hawks made a mistake again. Mike Bibby's pass to the inside Lopez appeared buttery. Yi Jianlian had quick eyes and quick hands, and immediately succeeded in stealing the ball!
Sessions was very fast on the ball, and it was given to Zhou Lin, who was coming down quickly. Zhou Lin strode forward, facing the bouncing stalwart Josh Smith, and used a combination of fast and slow steps, which not only caused Smith's foul, but also Put the board into the box!

There will be more penalties!

83-78, the score gap between the two sides was reduced to only 5 points, Zhou Lin raised his arms and cheered, the scene kept shouting, and even mixed with a lot of MVP voices, the Charlotte Bobcats are really on the rise up!

Mike Woodson called timeout again!

In less than 3 minutes, two timeouts were called in a row, which shows how dissatisfied Mike Woodson is with the team.

After the timeout ended, the Atlanta Hawks felt like they had just woken up from a dream. First, Mike Bibby broke through to the basket, opened a bloody path for the team with his strong body, and assisted Marvin Williams for a dunk. There were also singles Joe fired consecutively from the outside.

And just when the team's score was about to be stretched to double digits again, Yi Jianlian's hemostatic three-pointer made the Charlotte Bobcats stadium boil again!
2 minutes into the countdown, the Charlotte Bobcats are still 89-96 behind by 7 points.

Zhou Lin, who had been stuck at 45 points for a long time, finally found a chance to shoot through a back run.

A three-pointer from the outside line directly against Josh Smith's block and forced a shot.

The moment the referee blew the whistle, Zhou Lin fell back and saw the basketball drifting towards the defense line of the basket, hitting the board into the frame!
3+1!

"If you say that God used to wear the No. 23 jersey to play, but now God wants to change to No. 35!"

And the rebroadcast footage was constantly shown to Bobcats owner Michael Jordan. As long as it was a home game, Jordan would be there almost every game!

Zhou Lin's penalty hit again.

49 points!
Zhou Lin has set a new career scoring record, and the first 50+ points in his career is close at hand!
93-96!

At this moment, Josh Smith was also sent off, with 13 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 6 fouls!
Although the Charlotte Bobcats are still 3 points behind, the situation of the game has completely turned towards the Bobcats.

Although singles Joe stubbornly made Roy's foul through his own singles, but the 2 for 1 at the critical moment made the Eagle King quite annoyed!

And in the next round, everyone expected Zhou Lin to get his first 50+ points, which was also the first 50+ points of the league's youngest Charlotte Bobcats. Brandon Roy, who slipped to the bottom line, made a layup!
95-97!

In the last minute of the game, Joe Johnson wanted to do the same thing as the last time he hit Roy. Unfortunately, the turnaround jumper failed to hit, and the referee didn't blow the whistle.

With 35 seconds left, Zhou Lin personally got the ball from Sessions.

Everyone knew that Zhou Lin was going to hit this ball by himself!

Is it 2 points or 3 points?

Marvin Williams, who was defending Zhou Lin, was very focused, but Zhou Lin's touch in this quarter was really overwhelming!
Instead of going inside to make a lethal free throw, he made a direct shot from outside the three-point line!

Because Zhou Lin just felt that he could enter!

And this premonition has come true!

The three-pointer swished and fell into the basket!

"My God, my God, my God!" The home commentator of the Charlotte Bobcats was going crazy, and he shouted my God three times, which is enough to prove his horror.

From falling behind by 16 points at halftime to now leading by 1 point, it can be said that Zhou Lin carried the team alone.

With 52 points, Zhou Lin's career record was set again, and he also became the first scorer in the history of the Charlotte Bobcats.

98-97!

The last 7.8 seconds of time left.

Zhou Lin was held up high by Yi Jianlian and Luke Mbah a Moute.

Zhou Lin's name was shouted loudly at the scene!
"This night belongs to Zhou Lin, and Zhou Lin on his birthday night is unstoppable!"

On the other side of the field, the Atlanta Hawks are undoubtedly extremely uncomfortable, like a gambler who won all night, but lost all his chips at once on the eve of dawn.

Of course, they still have hope, 7.6 seconds is enough to arrange a maneuverable technique and tactics.

"Listen, it's not over yet!"

The coaches on both sides also have to fight wits and courage. After the players calmed down, Larry Brown immediately deployed the last defense. The milestone of Lin's birthday night may also become a milestone!

Mike Woodson used up the last timeout, time is running out, all tactics have to be played around Joe Johnson, Robin Lopez's single-block quality is already very high, and Mike Bibby's pass is also It was just right, but after receiving the ball, Joe Johnson's shooting had some problems. The double-team defense of Luke Mbah a Moute and Brandon Roy made Joe Johnson only use a very difficult shot. Take a shot to solve it, and finally the ball bounces out of the frame!

"No, no, Zhou Lin took the rebound, it's over, it's over, it's over!"

Zhou Lin jumped up high and took the backcourt rebound.

However, the Atlanta Hawks didn't seem to want to give up the game directly. There was only 1.1 seconds left in the game, and they still chose to foul Zhou Lin without a timeout!

"MVP, MVP, MVP!"

After Zhou Lin walked to the free throw line, the fans at home of the Charlotte Bobcats gave the cheers of MVP without hesitation, and Zhou Lin in this game is really worthy of the title of MVP.

For the Atlanta Hawks, it was almost the same whether Zhou Lin made a free throw or not. If there was no timeout, except for a random shot from the area around the half court, it would be a long pass to steal the player, but Larry Brown Bian had already warned about the second possibility when Zhou Lin made a free throw.

And Zhou Lin also made two free throws into the basket very steadily!

54 points!
Refresh the personal career record again, and the rewards in the system are constantly coming!

Just like Larry Brown thought, the Atlanta Hawks wanted to use a quarterback-style pass to the frontcourt to shoot a three-pointer, but Larry Brown, who had already deployed it, made the Atlanta Hawks' plan a reality. Bubbles, Yi Jianlian's interception, and then consume all the time.

The last 100-97!The Charlotte Bobcats won this difficult victory at home with a 3-point advantage!
