This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 287 I Said We Will Win!

As of the 2008 playoffs, there have only been 3 times in history for teams leading 1-8. In addition to the 6 times before the millennium, only 8 times in the 2 years after the millennium. The second time was when the Orlando Magic led 2003-3 in 1. McGrady let go of his rhetoric and thought about the next round of competitors. The other was the first round of the playoffs led by Kobe Bryant in 2006. The Los Angeles Lakers, the Los Angeles fans at the time were overjoyed, thinking that the Lakers were stable, and the two Los Angeles teams were about to meet in the Western Conference semifinals. Unfortunately, Nash led the Suns to three consecutive victories and entered the semifinals. And also killed another team in Los Angeles, the Clippers. Up to now, fans in Los Angeles are still worrying about it, but after this year, it probably won’t be the case, because the Los Angeles Lakers really stood up Well, shortly after the Charlotte Bobcats finished the game, the Los Angeles Lakers, the top player in the West, gave their former teammates in the first round of the playoffs. The once powerful Suns in the West swept 4-0 and entered the Western Conference semifinals first. .

In addition, in the East, the Cleveland Cavaliers led by LeBron James also swept the Philadelphia 76ers and became the first team in the East to advance.

Also, in the East, the Boston Celtics won Game [-] and entered Game [-] with the Bulls.

The Orlando Magic won another game to take a 3-1 lead over the Miami Heat.

In the west, the Denver Nuggets also took a 3-1 lead, and they will return to the Pepsi Center in the next game, and the Jazz will be out soon.

The Dallas Mavericks lost the fourth game. McGrady scored 27+9 and regained the home court advantage. The Houston Rockets and the Dallas Mavericks entered the battle of Tianwangshan.

The veteran San Antonio Spurs also won their fourth game, and their three consecutive victories gave them a 3-1 lead over the New Orleans Hornets.

In addition, I don’t know the data that the ghost gave a data. Although the team leading 3-1 may win the game more than 95%, but in the G5 game, the probability of winning the game is 67%.

Of course, like the Hornets, Heat, Jazz, and Eagles, they are all on the cliff. In the case of fighting hard, facing a team that only needs three games to win one and has room for turning around, the team that can explode Energy is naturally not to be underestimated.

"What I want is to go all out! Instead of giving in because of a big lead, I want to win this game. I want to see the streamers and cheers from the fans at the Time Warner Arena!"

The strict Larry Brown does not allow players to relax, because even if the probability of being overturned is extremely small, Larry Brown does not want any loopholes!

G5 is coming soon. In the Time Warner Arena, not only the Atlanta Hawks look serious, but every player is working hard to warm up in advance. The players who have a big advantage in the home game are also serious and unsmiling.

The camera is on Yi Jianlian. Since entering the playoffs, although Yi Jianlian has always been a starter, his current average of 7.5 points and 5.5 rebounds per game is still a bit of a step back from the regular season.

Zhou Lin is also warming up seriously.

"The Charlotte Bobcats are really tight here. This is not the last minute of the game. There will be no slack. It is obviously a 1-3 lead and has a 1-point match point advantage, but give me It feels a bit like going to fight Tianwang Mountain."

Seeing this scene, Yu Jia couldn't help saying.

Su Qun smiled and said: "This is called a car in the front and a rut in the back. What happened to McGrady and Kobe must not happen to Zhou Lin and Yi Jianlian."

The game between the Charlotte Bobcats and Atlanta was scheduled to start at 7:11 p.m., and the time difference between Charlotte and BJ was about 6 hours, that is, when the game happened, it was [-]:[-] a.m. on the Chinese side .

Moreover, April 2009, 4 in BJ time was still Thursday, but this still could not stop the enthusiasm of the fans to watch the game. Since Zhou Lin and Yi Jianlian joined the team, the attention of the Charlotte Bobcats has been comparable to that of Yao Ming. The Houston Rockets are comparable now.

There is also bad news that the Houston Rockets lost at home yesterday and lost Tianwangshan. G6 went to Dallas to play a life-and-death battle. This round of the series is already very dangerous, and the Charlotte Bobcats are likely to continue Entered the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs for the third year.

"Come on, come on, count your fingers, if the Bobcats can win this game, Zhou Lin will score another 30+."

"Go all out and take down the eagle!"

"The combination of Zhouyi is invincible in the world."

"Zhou Lin will do another lore!"

"A Lian, you have to work hard, and develop in the direction of Zhou Lin."

The chat interface in the studio is already extremely lively. Many of the student parties are still holding color-screen mobile phones, ready to refresh the page and watch the game live in text. The game is too early. The TVs in the canteen and cafeteria are all busy. No need to watch, of course there are some students who asked for leave because of diarrhea, fever and headache, but soon the head teacher saw the group of students who were originally in the dormitory or toilet at the canteen, but the young teacher did not get angry, Instead, he found a corner and silently watched the live broadcast...

The Charlotte Bobcats are still continuing the starting lineup from the previous game.

The Atlanta Hawks changed the starting lineup again.

Mike Bibby, Joe Johnson, Maurice Evans, Boris Diaw, Zaza Pachulia.

Maurice Evans was placed in the starting lineup again because he took a fancy to Maurice Evans' restrictions on Zhou Lin in the last game, while Josh Smith was directly removed from the starting lineup.

However, it is now home to the Charlotte Bobcats.

And it was not unexpected, Maurice Evans still carried out the defensive method against Zhou Lin in the last game, and made a lot of hidden little moves, but the referee's tolerance for Maurice Evans was not at home for the Eagles. At that time, Zhou Lin was so tolerant. After the opening, Zhou Lin made a defensive foul by Morris Evans on the offensive end, and pointed to the scratched mark on his arm and said loudly to the referee: " My respected referee, please pay attention to the opponent's No. 1 player."

"Okay, rest assured, I am an objective and fair player."

"I feel relieved."

Only then did Zhou Lin walk to the free throw line contentedly and score the first two free throws of the game.

"Although the Charlotte Bobcats won the last game, everyone knows that in that game, the referee awarded at least two more fouls to Zhou Lin, and two less fouls from Maurice Evans. I don’t expect the referee to blow towards the Bobcats, as long as he blows normally, Zhou Lin will be much more comfortable.”

Zhou Lin's desire to attack today is quite strong. When Zhou Lin thinks that he is about to win the series, his heart is full of enthusiasm. But to be honest, Zhou Lin's opening touch can only be said to be average. He just hit the mid-range, but Zhou Lin tried to break through the inside several times, and also walked to the free throw line several times, which can be regarded as using another method to score points.

At 6 minutes and 23 seconds into the game, Zhou Lin's post-up singles and feint after turning around caused Maurice Evans to receive his second personal foul.

"Bye-Bye!"

Zhou Lin made a goodbye gesture to Maurice Evans before walking to the free throw line.

Mike Woodson was a little unhappy here, and walked over to argue with the referee, Zhou Lin squinted, waiting for the referee to give a T.

However, after the referee stretched out his hand and warned Woodson once, it was considered a face.

31-21!

Occupying the home court advantage, the Charlotte Bobcats gained a 10-point lead in the first quarter.

In the second quarter of the game, Zhou Lin was put off the field first, and Brandon Roy led the players to play the transition. In this game, Joe Johnson really devoted 100% to defending Roy. Currently Roy With only 4 shots and 1 point shot, the Hawks, who were cornered, instigated consecutive defensive counterattacks in the second quarter. Josh Smith even staged a fold and dunk, and Roy's side really didn't feel good. , so it was quickly hit a small climax, 11-2.

The point difference was quickly smoothed out, and Larry Brown quickly patted Zhou Lin on the shoulder, indicating that Zhou Lin could play.

As soon as Zhou Lin came on the field, he was chased and blocked. Maurice Evans and Josh Smith formed the first wall of containment, and behind them, there was Robin Lopez waiting to cover him. What about Zhou Lin?

Zhou Lin didn't hit hard, and suppressed the desire to attack. First, Okafor dunked with a long-distance connection, and then cooperated with Yi Jianlian. The moment Zhou Lin charged in, Yi Jianlian withdrew, Zhou Lin's pass Applause arrived.

The outside three-pointer is where Robin can't put it. In this round of the series, Yi Jianlian didn't have much possession of the ball. He was basically doing a blue-collar job. He only made two three-pointers. This is Yi Jianlian's third time. It was shot from outside the three-point line, and Yi Jianlian made the shot.

"Come on, Ah Lian's three-pointer! If Ah Lian wants to gain a foothold in the Charlotte Bobcats for a long time, the skill of three-point shooting must be his advantage over other insiders."

Not only the domestic studios and forums cheered for Yi Jianlian, but the Charlotte Bobcats also raised three fingers to cheer for Yi Jianlian.

"Three-pointer from Yi—"

The sound control at the scene also lengthened the sound.

"Good job!"

The high-five scene of Zhou Lin and Yi Jianlian has basically been scheduled for the front page illustration of domestic sports websites.

And Yi Jianlian was really competitive, after 2 minutes, he made his second three-pointer at 45° on the other side!

This ball not only helped the Charlotte Bobcats establish a double-digit lead again, but also made Mike Woodson call a timeout again.

Now Mike Woodson is almost a little incompetent and furious. Facing the more talented and more systematic Charlotte Bobcats, he really can't find a way to break the game. The only thing he can do is to repeat it over and over again. A repeat of the current situation the team is in.

It's really not that the Atlanta Hawks didn't play hard enough!

After returning to the court, Mike Bibby even fell to the ground twice in order to fight for the ball, and his efforts also made his teammates have some fighting spirit. Before the end of the second quarter, relying on fighting, the Atlanta Hawks The team desperately controlled the score difference within 5 points.

56-51!

"There are only 24 minutes to the Eastern Conference semifinals. I hope you will play these 24 minutes as the last 24 minutes of your career, let me see your energy, and wait to celebrate with you, my boys!"

Larry Brown encouraged the players.

In the third quarter of the game, the Charlotte Bobcats, as the leader, suddenly started a more high-pressure defense. Mike Bibby, a high-quality point guard, also made 3 turnovers in a single quarter. Defense is likely to be the last straw that broke the camel's back. Larry Brown is a tyrant-level head coach. When the team leads by a large margin, he still needs to use this kind of pressing method. .

This is simply trying to take advantage of your illness to kill you!

Mike Woodson was also suppressed by Larry Brown in the coach's PK. When he recovered, the Charlotte Bobcats had established a 13-point lead.

Although Mike Woodson is still cheering up, the anger in the players' hearts has actually been slowly vented.

On Zhou Lin's side, at the end of the third quarter, they scored two consecutive twos and ones. When he got to the free throw line, Zhou Lin was already shouted MVP.

With the help of Zhou Lin and all his teammates, the Charlotte Bobcats played a high-quality third quarter.

87-68!

The Charlotte Bobcats built a 19-point lead before the end of the third quarter.

This has almost locked the victory of this game, and also locked the qualification for the second round of the playoffs.

In the fourth quarter, the main force of the Charlotte Bobcats did not play for too long. With the double guns of Roy and Zhou Lin, the point difference was opened to 24 points, and the Atlanta Hawks began to withdraw gradually. The main force.

Eagle King Joe Johnson sat under the court, somewhat lonely, but the game is like this, there is only one winner!
And Larry Brown was Brandon Roy who was withdrawn at 7 minutes and 24 seconds. He was worried and let Zhou Linduo play for 1 and a half minutes before leaving.

In the end, amid the cheers of the audience, the Charlotte Bobcats easily defeated the visiting Atlanta Hawks 115-97 at home.

With a score of 4-1, they successfully advanced to the next round, and their next opponent will be the Cleveland Cavaliers with the best record in the league!
In this game, Zhou Lin scored only 18 points but had 11 assists. The same was true for Roy, who only scored 17 points and 4 rebounds. Yi Jianlian, who finished the garbage time, rarely became the team's scoring leader with 22 points and 9 assists. Rebounds, and made 3 three-pointers, which can be regarded as a huge highlight of the game.

Also, Mike Dunleavy also had 14 points, and Raymond Felton also had 15 points.

In addition, all the players in the 12-man roster played. Except for Uncle Huo who failed to score, the other players scored.

For the Eagles, it was a little darker. Joe Johnson only had 16 points and 8 assists, Josh Smith had 14 points and 8 rebounds, Boris Diaw had 11 points and 5 assists, and Mike Bibby had 16 points and 5 assists!

"Go ahead! It's up to you guys to challenge LeBron."

"I have to admit that you are an excellent player with almost no flaws. I won't lose easily the next time we meet."

Although they lost the game, the Eagles were also convincing when they lost, and they also sent blessings to their opponents.

For the on-site interview, Duan Ran also found Zhou Lin. Because of the presence of media from his motherland, Zhou Lin will basically give the Chinese media more advanced interview opportunities.

"Zhou Lin, congratulations on winning the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs. You have fulfilled your promise. Share with us how you feel!"

"First of all, I would like to thank my compatriots in China for their attention and support. I am very happy. I really did not break my promise. Of course, we will celebrate a little, and then we will start preparing for the game against the Cavaliers. You also know that the Cavaliers are really good this season. It's very strong!"

……

domestic studio.

Yu Jia said: "Congratulations again to the Charlotte Bobcats for entering the second round of the playoffs. Also, as Zhou Lin said, after losing in G1, the team will not lose again. These words are domineering."

"Being able to turn what you say into reality is self-confidence and ability. Let us look forward to the Charlotte Bobcats' performance against the Cavaliers in the second round."
