This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 293 I Cast a Magic on the Basket

The 7-0 opening, the entire Time Warner Arena was full of excitement, completely swept away the decline, yes, the team stood up again, they were not beaten by the Cleveland people, and the team's strong performance has not yet Completely over.

After James finally used Varejao's pick-and-roll and relied on Okafor to make a layup, Zhou Lin, who made a fake fax shot from the outside, played with Mo Williams, making him turn his head twice in a row and finally lose his defensive focus. After Lin played Mo Williams, he hit a three-pointer from the outside, which made the ball even more likely to enter the top ten goals.

Mike Brown couldn't bear to call the first timeout. In just 2 minutes and 52 seconds, the Charlotte Bobcats played a 10-2 offensive climax. So far, the Charlotte Bobcats of shots, yet to miss.

"Yes, this is the rhythm we want, what we want to play."

The players of the Bobcats high-fived each other, and the veteran Juwan Howard shouted loudly: "The most important thing is to beat yourself."

"Very good start, my brave boys." Larry Brown was also satisfied with this start.

Sharing the ball, shooting, controlling the pace of the game, looking for opportunities, getting more suitable shots, and making decisive shots, this is what the current Bobcats team has to play.

"Continue to do so."

After helping the players consolidate their previous tactical direction, Larry Brown shouted loudly: "Don't let the mistakes repeat themselves."

After coming back, James tried another one on the outside. Like the previous game, LeBron James still felt cold, and you must know that this is the away goal. After James failed to make a shot, he also shook his head and wrinkled frown.

"Hey, LeBron, I put a magic spell on the rim, you don't want to shoot from 15 feet away."

Holding the ball back, Zhou Lin shouted loudly following LeBron James who was running past him.

James responded to Zhou Lin: "Don't do this with me. When I get back my touch, the basket is as wide as the sea!"

"If you don't believe me, you can try a few more times!"

Zhou Lin is more interested in stimulating James.

As the best coach of the season, Mike Brown also arranged defensive tactics during the timeout period of the game. James is pinching Zhou Lin to death. Let Mo Williams defend Zhou Lin. The effect is really bad. Zhou Lin reversed to the basket. Varejao wasn't acting this time. He really collided with Mike Dunleavy who was cutting in. This was the first time the Cavaliers blocked the Bobcats' goal, but this The ball, if Varejao had moved any slower, would have been another easy layup.

"Hey, guard the inside, don't let this beast charge!"

Zhou Lin shouted at everyone while stepping back.

"LeBron, where's your shot!"

Mike Dunleavy provocatively said, "Do you need me to teach you how to shoot?"

James didn't take this aggressive approach, turned his head and rushed towards the inside. Mike Dunleavy was like a piece of paper hanging on James' body. In the end, Roy Hibbert made a layup to defend, and James gave Ilkaskas, who made an easy dunk.

"Are you giving up the shot and going on a rampage like a bison?"

Mike Dunleavy felt a dull pain in his chest.

In fact, the Bobcats know that James is going to rush, but they just can't stop him, and James can not only rush, but also pass the ball. This is different from many players who only use their physical talents to play. James's The golf quotient is still online, and it still has a certain effect on the ability to dominate the ball and make reasonable choices.

From the day James came to the NBA, he has been a player with sufficient ball possession. With such a proportion of ball possession, James' passing has also been gradually developed. From now on in the NBA, except for the 5.9 in the first season In addition to assists, the number of assists in the rest of the season is around 6-7 times, which is already the number of assists for a starting guard of a qualified playoff team.

What a tough guy!Zhou Lin said silently in his heart.

Even if James loses the ability to shoot outside, relying on this breakthrough and handling the ball after the breakthrough is enough to stand out as a second- and third-tier star.

But if James really wants to rush forward like this, Zhou Lin will be very happy to see such a situation happen.

Because LeBron James is still a human player, with two eyes and one mouth, not a robot.

He gets tired, and at the same time he has his own demons.

And the more he doesn't want to shoot, the more he resists shooting, and when he remembers that he needs to shoot, when the demons in his tired heart come, the more side effects will be.

Mike Dunleavy went off after five and a half minutes in the first quarter, and in five and a half minutes, Dunleavy made a [-]-pointer and didn't give James anything to gain from the perimeter, which was enough, Larry Brown was replaced by James Posey, whose body was closer to James' form.

James Posey's confrontation was much better than Mike Dunleavy's. For the rest of the quarter, James Posey was strong enough, plus Luke Mbah a Moute was on the bench.

Three people will consume you a James, let's see if you can break through in the fourth quarter!
Moreover, Zhou Lin also observed that James was sweating much faster than before.

At 6 minutes into the first quarter, James intentionally began to give the ball to Mo Williams and Delonte West. Not to mention, Mo Williams really threw it in When West also scored two points from the bottom corner, if the two brothers hadn't scored 8 points together in the first quarter, they might have met the Charlotte Bobcats who were very smooth. , this point difference is about to run to [-] points.

But even so, at the end of the first quarter, the Charlotte Bobcats still had a 34-22, 12-point lead over their opponents.

In the first quarter of the game, James only scored 4 points, 3 assists and 2 rebounds. He failed 4 shots from the mid-range and outside lines. For the first time in the first round of the series, he did not get any free throws in the first quarter, and in this game, how fierce James rushed!
"Look tired for James, he's back on the bench wheezing and panting."

"Can you not be tired? Even if James' physical fitness is unprecedented, but every time you make a breakthrough, you need to fight against 3-4 players. Anyone will be tired."

"If this goes on like this, the more the Bobcats play down, the greater the chances will be. Even if it is hard to fight, it should not be able to break through in the fourth quarter."

This is what the Bobcats and a large number of domestic fans who support Zhou Lin, Yi Jianlian, and the Bobcats are most happy to see.

This kind of result is clear in the commentator's heart, the fans know it, Larry Brown naturally knows it, and LeBron James knows it even more. So after James rested for about a minute and a half in the second quarter, he began to try to wait for the opportunity to shoot on the wing , the front stage is given to the team's second and third breakups, Mo Williams and Zdrunas Ilgauskas.

But such James, such Cleveland Cavaliers and Charlotte Bobcats are not afraid!

Although Mo Williams' mid-range pull-up score and Varejao's second attack at the basket and veteran Wally Szczerbiak hit a three-pointer as soon as he came up, James affected the part. In the case of the defensive main force, it helped the Cleveland Cavaliers play a wave of 7-2, but for the Charlotte Bobcats, these are not fatal.

Larry Brown made a small adjustment here. Yi Jianlian replaced Roy Hibbert on the field. He hit Ben Wallace twice in a row in the mid-range. Sadly, he once won the best defense The player Ben Wallace is almost 34 years old now, and this kind of insider who was originally not tall enough can no longer move his legs. It can be said that the Cavaliers took over Ben Wallace is also one of the failures. This year when the team played, although the Cavaliers won the first place in the regular season, in fact it has nothing to do with the arrival of Big Ben. With 2.9 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.3 blocks, he still has an annual salary of 1500 million. It can be said that It's already one of the most rubbish contracts in the league today.

Ben Wallace is now used to deal with those insiders who are good at strength, such as Howard, O'Neal and other insiders. Basically it's a side effect.

And the Charlotte Bobcats are not only Yi Jianlian, it can be said that they are in full bloom. Even Zhou Lin was replaced at the end of the second quarter and rested for 3 minutes, but still did not let the home team's offense be controlled. Mike Dunleavy After reappearing, he made two more three-pointers.

"Although the current Mike Dunleavy is wandering on the edge of the bench and the main force, his effectiveness seems to be much better than that of the starting stage. I am afraid that James is salivating now. If the Cavaliers also have such a shooter, James does not need to play. I'm so tired!"

From the perspective of scoring distribution, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, James averaged 28.4 points per game. Apart from him, Mo Williams scored 17.8 points, West 11.7 points, and Big Z - 12.9 points. 8 players.

As for the Charlotte Bobcats, the highest scorers are Mike Dunleavy's 18.8 points, Brandon Roy's 18.7 points, Zhou Lin's 17.2 points, Okafor's 12.7 points, Yi Jianlian's 8.7 points and Philippine's Leon's 9.8 points.

It can be said that the Bobcats' scoring is more scattered, which is also the result of Larry Brown's careful construction, so the Charlotte Bobcats' blooming at the moment is also a sign.

As for LeBron James, the star of the stars, he was really touched by Zhou Lin's words that I cast magic on the basket.

In the second quarter, James delivered another 5-of-1 performance.

In the first half of the game, LeBron James made 11 of 3 shots and 9 of 1 mid-range and long-range shots.

The anxious James took off his hair tie angrily.

The score at the moment.

59-44!

Trailing by 15 at halftime.

"Eight points from 11 shots in the half, those fans of James can take a break!"

"This game, if the Bobcats lose again, I'll wash my hair upside down!"

"If the Bobcats lose again in this game, we will still watch the Mao Bobcats game!"

In the room where the fans were discussing, there were various flags for the Bobcats.

It is impossible for a person to step into the same river twice in a row, let alone this gutter. Larry Brown recounted the painful scene of G2 to the players in the locker room, just like a newly healed wound Tear on top and sprinkle with a layer of fine salt.

So, after the start of the third quarter, the Bobcats didn't play like they had a 15-point lead.

Attack, attack, only a strong offense can transform into the strongest defense.

In the first half, Zhou Lin, who scored 7 points, 4 assists and 11 rebounds in 5 of 6, used the pick-and-roll to hit Big Z in the third quarter. A center, when faced with a pick-and-roll and an outside player, is really powerless.

Seeing that the score difference in the game was getting bigger and bigger, James also started to get anxious and started to shoot from the outside again. However, Zhou Lin's prophecy was fulfilled over and over again.

These enchanted hoops in Time Warner Arena keep James' shots out!
James looked fierce, but so what, Zhou Lin looked at James without hesitation and said, "The first loss in this year's playoffs is not far away."

The Charlotte Bobcats still haven't stopped attacking, and all the brothers are very strong today. Zhou Lin got his 2th assist in the game 10 minutes before the end of the third quarter - and Bu Landon Roy's twin star connection, Brandon Roy's cut-in throw hit!
After the ball, the Charlotte Bobcats have extended their lead to 23 points.

LeBron James' struggle at the end of the third quarter was to shoot three consecutive three-pointers, and among these three three-pointers, James only scored one!
So far, he's 5 for 1 from beyond the three-point line, and a disastrous 10 for 3 in the mid-range.

"What's wrong with James? It seems that he can't shoot all of a sudden. This shooting percentage can't be worse than the last game!"

Relying on Daniel Gibson's layup, the Cleveland Cavaliers narrowed the score in the third quarter to within 20 points.

87-68.

"There is still a 19-point difference in one quarter, this game will be over!"

"James probably won't play anymore. After all, this is a long series. There is no need to fight this game."

That's what I said, but until the last moment, no one has a clue.

However, the cautious Mike Brown did not let James play, and James was sipping his drink with a solemn expression.

However, Xiao Mo and Big Z were still there, and they each played for another 3 minutes. After a few shots, they failed to narrow the point difference. Seeing this, the Cleveland Cavaliers gave up directly and came on the bench in turn.

According to the rules of the rivers and lakes, it is necessary for the loser to withdraw the main force first, so after seeing Xiao Mo and Da Z Lu all play one after another, Zhou Lin did not.

Now that Zhou Lin has scored 18 points, 11 assists and 9 rebounds, Larry Brown intends to help Zhou Lin complete his first triple-double in the playoffs this season. The opponent Sasha Pavlovich missed a mid-range shot. With O'Bryant's humility, Zhou Lin finally got his 10th rebound.

A triple-double was achieved!

In the next round, Zhou Lin intentionally fouled the opponent's substitute player, and was finally replaced by Larry Brown.

There was warm applause at the scene!
"20 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds, achieved a triple-double, and won the game. Now that the Charlotte Bobcats are under pressure, Zhou Lin's pressure will undoubtedly be much less."

In the end, the Charlotte Bobcats made no mistakes in the fourth quarter, and steadily beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 117-98, 19 points, and won the first victory in the series.

The big score was also reversed to 1-2!

For the Charlotte Bobcats, in addition to Zhou Lin scoring a triple-double, four other players scored in double figures. Mike Dunleavy scored 15 points and 4 rebounds. He made 9 of 5 points. It can be said that this big shot played his role, which was much more stable than last year's playoffs. In addition, Brandon Roy scored 6 of 5 and scored 14 points and 7 rebounds. Emeka Okafor had 18 points and 7 rebounds, an economical double-double. Although Yi Jianlian didn't play much, he scored 11 of 10 and scored 4 points.

For the Cavaliers, Mo Williams scored the highest 21 points and 5 assists. James scored 19 of 6 and scored the lowest 14 points in the playoffs with 8 assists and 11 rebounds. Big Z Ilkaskas, On the other hand, he scored 13 points and 6 rebounds.
