This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 298 Chapter 298 (2): Tianwang Mountain, a fierce battle to win in three overtimes
"The Bobcats are really not afraid of playing overtime. After all, the Bobcats are much younger than the Cavaliers in terms of age."

In the domestic commentary live broadcast room, guest commentator Su Qun is still optimistic about the Charlotte Bobcats.

"We both have chances." Yu Jia is more neutral and objective. Entering overtime, many tactics and many lineup comparisons can be ignored. In just 5 minutes, it is fighting spirit and fighting Will, of course, will also have many indeterminate accidental factors.

Standing in the middle circle again to make a jump shot, Irkskas obviously couldn't pick it up anymore. Roy Hibbert successfully helped the Charlotte Bobcats get the first wave of offensive possessions.

Zhou Lin dribbled the ball through halftime, still playing pick-and-roll cooperation. Roy Hibbert came up to block, and after going down, Zhou Lin gave the ball, but Mo Williams had quick eyesight and quick hands. When Hibbert took the ball, he grabbed it with a ghostly hand and stole it.

Su Qun said: "Xiao Mo's hand is really fast. Hibbert didn't lift the ball after he took the ball just now. The ball was dropped to the ground and the small defender's hand came up. It is reasonable to lose the ball." Among them."

Xiao Mo controlled the ball and walked to the frontcourt, James circled up to catch the ball, Mo Williams sank to the baseline, using Pavlovich's pick and roll, first blocked Roy's chasing defense, and then another Facing Zhou Lin's defense, James was always looking at the position of his teammates. As soon as Mo Williams ran out of the open space, James rushed to the pass. Xiao Mo After receiving the ball, he shot quickly, and Roy behind him had already chased up and blocked the shot.

However, the ball was still hit!
"Oh, Xiao Mo, this shot is really tough. You must know that in regular time, his three-pointers were 7-for-1. In this situation, he dares to shoot like this! What a big heart."

Going back to the Bobcats' offense, Zhou Lin gave Roy, who was on the weak side, a chance to single out Mo Williams, but this round, Big Z's supplementary defense was in place, and Roy made a pass error.

The ball was grabbed by James.

James galloped up, the ball was basically out of the way, Zhou Lin finally chose to give up when he caught up to the frontcourt.

Without giving James a two-plus-one chance, James didn't dunk and scored two points for a layup.

With 3 minutes and 47 seconds left in the first game of overtime, the Cleveland Cavaliers played a wave of 5-0.

Larry Brown quickly called a timeout.

"We have to stay focused!"

Larry Brown was obviously dissatisfied with the player's concentration: "The opponent is even more tired than us. We are like the last round of a boxer in the ring. If you don't throw a punch at the opponent, then the opponent's A lower uppercut will knock you out the first time."

A difference of 5 points in regular time is not a particularly big difference, but in a short overtime, a difference of 5 points is a bit fatal.

Roy, who lost the ball last time, finally made up for it in this round. After receiving a pass from Zhou Lin on the left, Roy's mid-range hit helped the team recover two points.

128-125.

In the Cleveland Cavaliers' offense, James broke through with the ball, but this round, Roy Hibbert also made a contribution. He directly blocked James' basketball.

"Oh, beautiful blocking, James is also a bit tired, this game only rested for 2 minutes, and now he has played for more than 48 minutes, and many points are obtained by his singles."

After being blocked by Roy Hibbert, James hurriedly chased after him. Zhou Lin was fast enough to hit the ball, but James still caught his eye and slapped Luke Mbah a Moute for the layup. It was sealed down.

After James blocked the shot, he also snatched the basketball, and directly gave it to Ilkaskas on the inside. This white big center who couldn't run at all, dunked one on the spot.

130-125!

Another minute passed, leaving only 1 minutes and 2 seconds left.

Larry Brown stomped his feet anxiously on the sidelines, and yelled at the top of his voice, "Don't make mistakes, pay attention to backing off!"

Zhou Lin rushed into the inside line, originally intending to cause Big Z's sixth personal foul. Big Z's defense was on the verge of fouling, but the referee ignored the fact that Big Z violated Zhou Lin's cylinder and didn't blow it, maybe it was Combining the home game and Big Z's foul problem, Zhou Lin didn't compete with the referee because he had already committed a technical foul. Once the referee called him another technical foul, the game would be over.

There was warm applause from the audience, and the Cleveland Cavaliers slowed down their offensive rhythm, because they had a 5-point lead, and Mo Williams pressed the time to play this ball.

"If the goal is being scored, it will be a bit difficult for the Bobcats." Su Qun said with emotion: "The referee still didn't blow the ball just now. In fact, it can be blown, but if it is blown like that, it may be big. Z went down, and the referee felt that the game should be played or let the players solve it."

The standard of the playoffs is whistled, and when it comes to the critical moment of overtime, the referee will be extremely cautious, otherwise, the fans may be booed wildly.

Mo Williams pressed the ball until there were only 8 seconds left before giving it to James. The ball still has to be scored by James!

This ball may decide the trend of the game!

After James got the ball, he went straight to the left after three threats, trying to squeeze Luke Mbah a Moute for a hard attack, but Zhou Lin's defense was in place, and he directly hit James' ball, of course This ball, if it was a regular season, probably could have been blown, but this round, the referee also did not blow the whistle.

"That's fine, the referee, it's considered a return. I didn't blow the ball just now and I didn't blow it."

With 1.1 seconds left, James hurriedly made a shot from the outside. No, Roy got a backcourt rebound and advanced.

"Hold on, there's still time."

Larry Brown put his hands to his mouth and shouted loudly from the sidelines.

The game has also entered within 2 minutes, and now the team is behind by 5 points. If the goal is not scored, it will be dangerous. This time Roy played very decisively. The team behind does not have the habit of pressing the rhythm. Roy faced West, who was thinner than himself, chose to break through forcibly, but he made a very beautiful pull back halfway. West caught up. Roy scored and scored on West at the same time. It's time for a penalty.

130-128!

"Roy, also scored 31 points. Today Roy's performance is really tough!" Seeing Roy steadily hit the free throw, the fans of the Bobcats calmed down a little.

James tried another three-pointer from the outside. Unfortunately, this time the three-pointer was very wide, and he directly shot an air ball.

At 1 minute and 23 seconds, the Charlotte Bobcats had a chance to overtake. Zhou Lin didn't want to be greedy anymore. Seeing Roy's hand feeling hot, he directly gave the ball to Roy.

Facing West, Roy took a step back, which directly caused West to jump up and defend. Roy made a foul, but unfortunately, he made one of two free throws.

"How many times has West fouled? Oh, and the fifth time? This should be given to Roy. West's size is obviously a circle smaller than Roy's. Four fouls, except for the first one. Except for one turnover due to double-teaming, the other three scored, and now Roy's scoring is also the highest on the Bobcats team, with 32 points."

1分09秒，130-129，克利夫兰骑士队只有1分的领先优势了。

James' breakthrough created Zhou Lin's foul, and Zhou Lin also committed the fourth foul.

However, before the number of free throws was reached, James chose to rush again, and the referee continued to whistle.

"Zhou Lin's fifth time!"

"Let Mbah a Moute take the main defense!"

Zhou Lin, who had been fouled twice in a row, felt helpless, patted Ba Moute on the shoulder and said, "I'll leave it to you."

In the next round, although James squeezed the rookie Mbah a Moute behind him, a mid-range shot went out of the frame. After all, continuous confrontation is also a great burden for James.

Zhou Lin continued to trouble Big Z. This time, Zhou Lin stuffed the ball inside. After Roy Hibbert collided with Big Z, although he failed to put the ball into the basket, he created the Cavaliers' turmoil. Starting center Big Z was sent off for five fouls.

Ilkaskas is now 19 points, 7 rebounds and 3 blocked shots.

Ben Wallace comes on as a substitute.

This is a perfect round, which not only let the Cleveland Cavaliers' starting inside end, but also won the free throw opportunity. The only thing that disappointed the Bobcats fans was that Roy Hibbert actually missed two free throws.

The fans cheered for the Cavaliers who escaped a catastrophe!

38 seconds!
130-129, the Cleveland Cavaliers who came back from the timeout are going to play under pressure. If the Cavaliers can hit a 3-pointer this time, then the game may be taken away. Of course, the Bobcats are not easy. Let the Cavaliers shoot this three-pointer.

All the players stepped on the 3-point line to defend. Mo Williams still controlled the ball. When the countdown entered within 10 seconds, it was given to James. False shot at the point line, only to kill the basket, facing Hibbert's defense, James made a free throw.

"Oh, this is really bad news. Hibbert was also sent off, and James is expected to use two free throws to open the point difference to 3 points!"

Roy Hibbert went down himself within 30 seconds of knocking Irkeskas down.

In this game, Hibbert played 39 minutes, which has created the most appearances in the playoffs, with 12 points, 9 rebounds and 2 blocked shots. The data is not bad.

James steadily sent both free throws into the basket. It seems that the previous free throw practice was not in vain.

And through these two free throws, James' score has reached a terrifying 58 points!
This time it was the Bobcats' turn to shoot that potentially life-and-death [-]-pointer.

After the pause is over.

It is still the previous version of tactics.

Yi Jianlian and Zhou Lin, who replaced Hibbert, completed the split after the pick-and-roll, and through Yi Jianlian's single block, gave Roy a chance to shoot. Roy can shoot or give it to Mike Dunleavy who is ambushing on the other side. , or take 2 points from Zhou Lin who is going down.

But the Cavaliers are very aggressive here. Zhou Lin and Yi Jianlian's pick-and-roll quality is not as high as that of Hibbert.

There was no chance of a three-pointer, and the game time was approaching. It was supposed to be a quick attack. Zhou Lin rushed to the inside, but he split the ball and gave it to Roy. Roy attracted fire and gave it to Dunleavy, Dunleavy shook.

The commentators in the studio were already excited, and everyone said to cast quickly, cast!

But Mike Dunleavy didn't vote!
Instead, it was given to Zhou Lin who quickly expanded to the outside.

Zhou Lin caught the ball and looked at the time. There was still about 1.5 seconds left. He shook slightly and West jumped.

Zhou Lin made a shot and missed!
"Also, and, the referee blew his whistle!"

The commentator thought the game was over, but what he didn't expect was that the referee blew his whistle at this critical moment. But looking back at the video, West's thug was very clear, but the referee needed to determine whether it was a 2-point or 3-point foul.

2 points or 3 points may completely change the outcome.

"Three points! The referee gestured for three free throws. Now Zhou Lin has the opportunity to use three free throws to save the team's life."

"Zhou Lin's free throw rate this season is 89%. Since the playoffs, he has only missed two free throws, and his shooting rate exceeds 96%."

Even so, everyone was still very nervous, Zhou Lin took a deep breath.

One free throw, hollow into the basket.

Two free throws, same.

For the third free throw, the basketball bounced mischievously on the rim a few times, and finally fell into the rim.

132-132!

Seeing this situation, Zhou Lin clenched his fist and swung it hard.

"Beautiful, three free throws were made, there were 0.8 seconds left in the game, Williams missed a shot from the backcourt, and the game entered the second overtime."

Zhou Lin defended the possibility of winning the game with his steady free throws at critical moments.

But on both sides, the lineup is incomplete now. The opponent's three main players, Delonte West, Big Z, and Varejao who was expelled, can't play the three starters. Cafu and Roy Hibbert's inside partners are also unable to play.

In addition, Zhou Lin was also charged with five fouls.

"Looks like we're going to be working overtime."

"Both sides are running out of ammunition and food now. It depends on the stronger willpower on the other side."

The two main players missing in overtime, Big Z was replaced by Ben Wallace, and Delonte West's substitute was Daniel Gibson.

In order to prevent Zhou Lin from fouling again, Larry Brown deployed Zhou Lin to defend Daniel Gibson, who was relatively weak in offensive threat.

The second overtime starts again!
Yi Jianlian helped the Bobcats get their first chance to attack. Roy hit Daniel Gibson. Unfortunately, he missed a hit.

But on the other hand, when James got an almost good open, he also failed to hit the mid-range.

Not only that, Yi Jianlian also got a good shot in the face of Ben Wallace, but unfortunately he also missed.

Su Qun said slowly, "The physical fitness of both sides has reached a certain limit. Too much physical energy was spent on the defensive end, and the offensive efficiency of the two teams during regular time was really high. Maintained at a very high level, and in the second overtime, the offensive level is also reasonable."

In the second overtime, in the first 3 minutes, neither team scored 1 point. It can be seen that even James is extremely exhausted.

The two teams were among them, and each called a timeout, but these two timeouts were not meant to talk about tactics, but to give the players a little rest time. Of course, during the period, the coaches on both sides would also beat the players. Chicken blood makes the players more motivated. Unfortunately, the effect of this kind of chicken blood is really mediocre. After all, physical fatigue cannot be changed.

This is a long tug-of-war. It was about 2-3 hours of the game, but because of two disputes and consecutive overtime, the game started at 8 o'clock in the evening, and it has already reached 11 o'clock. Halfway.

Even the domestic sports news was forced to be postponed because of the extra time in this game.

And many working people also turned on the TV to watch the game during the meal, and even the ratings were much higher than when the broadcast started.

However, to the slight disappointment of the studio and domestic fans, it was the Cleveland Cavaliers who broke the deadlock in overtime. Like the first overtime, it was Mo Williams who withstood the pressure and made a layup succeed.

134-132!

1 minute and 52 seconds left.

Larry. Brown quickly called a timeout. He could allow the team not to score, but once the opponent scored first, the Bobcats must be able to respond.

As the Bobcats player with the shortest playing time in this game, Luke Mbah a Moute got a good chance for a layup, but the old big stupid sounded his dull voice again, a The key block made him seem to have returned to his youth.

Moreover, after the Cleveland Cavaliers were behind Mo Williams, Daniel Gibson stood up again. Facing Zhou Lin, who was 10 centimeters taller than him, Daniel Gibson made a three-pointer.

137-132, with 1 minute and 19 seconds left in the game.

Although Brandon Roy missed the shot, Yi Jianlian grabbed the offensive rebound and gave it to Zhou Lin who followed up!

Zhou Lin didn't choose a layup that might be blocked, but took off directly and smashed the ball into the basket!

The Bobcats also scored the first two points of the second overtime.

"After dunking the goal, Zhou Lin also scored 31 points. Today is a record night. James' 58 points in the playoffs should also be a career record, while Zhou Lin and Roy are a team. 31 points, one 33 points, and in the history of the Bobcats team, there have been two games with 30+ points at the same time in a single game."

137-134!

At 1:05, Cleveland still had a 3-point lead.

James directly took the ball to press the time this time, instead of waiting for Mo Williams' pass, he held the ball and gasped heavily.

This goal is scored, and the basic game is won!
"Now everyone should have reached the limit of their bodies, and James is the same. He is also resting on the court now."

This is what the fans at the scene felt the most. They could even hear the breathing of 10 players on the field.

James held the ball and rested for about 10 seconds before letting the ball hit the ground.

For this ball, he still fought inside as usual. In this situation, there is not much difference between 2 points and 3 points or even 1 point, because 3 points and 4 points are completely different, and 3 points is a round. You can get more points in it, but if you get 4 points, you need to split the scores of 2 rounds.

Luke Mbah a Moute really tried his best. Four of his current five fouls were on James.

Compared with the strong James, Luke Mbah a Moute is as thin as a cardboard man.

James basically resisted Mbah a Moute before making a layup, and was finally blocked by Yi Jianlian, but the referee blew his whistle.

Mbah a Moute six committed!

James is going to the free throw line!
"Now there are 44 seconds left in the time. Once James makes two free throws, the point difference will be opened to 5 points. There is a high probability that the Bobcats will only be able to score three points, and then foul, and if James makes two free throws If you hit all the marks, is it 60 points?"

But before the words fell, James missed his first free throw. James muttered to himself, James made all of the previous 14 free throws, but this time...

"The second free throw missed again! The Bobcats' chance came, Zhou Lin, Zhou Lin grabbed the backcourt rebound, oh, he also achieved a triple-double, with 31 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds."

"Timeout, Larry Brown must call timeout!"

Su Qun said: "It can be seen that James is very annoyed. He had a good chance to kill the suspense in the cradle, but now it is different. He is behind by three points and 44 seconds. There is too much room for manipulation. Quick 2 points or 3 points are fine, even if you don’t score and then defend one, you still have a chance to tie.”

"Don't work overtime."

Yu Jia said with a smile: "This game started at 9 o'clock in the morning, and it's already 1 o'clock now."

Su Qun said: "This kind of double overtime game is wonderful, and I am willing to work overtime when I am hungry. I also believe that many audience friends in front of the TV are also looking forward to the result of this game as we are, but this game, It’s also so wonderful that I can’t bear it to end.”

"Okay, the timeout is over, let's take a look at how the Charlotte Bobcats handle the next round."

Naturally, the Bobcats will not play at a tempo, and compared to the current Cavaliers who point at James to hold the ball and distribute the ball, the Bobcats with a dual-core processor are a little easier. Zhou Lin, who scored an absolute free throw in overtime, gave the ball to Roy, and he went to the bottom corner to wait for the opportunity.

Facing Daniel Gibson's defense, Roy made an early cross to Xu Huang, changed from left to right, and shot directly from the middle distance, but... the ball missed a little bit.

But Yi Jianlian, currently the only player on the court taller than 7 feet, grabbed the rebound again.

Offensive rebounds!
"This is the meaning of knocking down both Big Z and Varejao. Now they are a bit unable to jump up. Yi Jianlian's height has taken too much advantage, and this is still on the head of the former rebounding king Ben Wallace. The offensive rebounds he won, it can only be said that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead!"

The attack time was set to 14 seconds again, and Zhou Lin came out to catch the ball. This time, Roy went to the baseline to wait for a three-pointer. Now that the Bobcats have less time left, the options are actually less.

Yi Jianlian came up to pick and roll, James took a small step back, and this small step gave Zhou Lin a perfect opportunity.

Three-point shot!

"Yes, Zhou Lin, Zhou Lin made another three-pointer. Once again, once again he tied the trailing score, almost relying on his own strength!"

"The star fan came out. Even if James was standing in front of me, I still had to shoot. And looking at it again, in fact, the pick-and-roll of the United Arab Emirates did not completely block James!"

"However, there are still 12 seconds left. The Cavaliers have a chance to make the last attack, and even if they miss, they will only enter overtime. Relatively speaking, the pressure on their shoulders is not that great. "

The Cleveland Cavaliers will naturally run out of offensive time. Now, 1 point, 2 points, and 3 points are no different for the Cavaliers, so the Bobcats still deploy more troops inside and narrow the defensive circle. James The three-pointer is very average, currently 8 out of 3.

James held the ball and shouted loudly: "Pull away, find your own position."

He held the ball and waited for the time to slowly decrease.

This was a one-on-one round, and Larry Brown sent James Posey, who had five fouls from the Bobcats, to the main defense.

Looking at James Posey who shrank back, LeBron James knew very well that the opponent was defending his breakthrough.

James held the ball for about 12 seconds, but at the critical moment, he distributed the ball to Mo Williams in the bottom corner. To be honest, Mo Williams did not expect James to pass the ball at the critical moment.

Roy's reaction speed was very fast. He directly touched the ball with his hand, and the ball missed the baseline.

"With this ball, everyone will feel that the head star has to solve the problem by himself."

Even the two commentators Su Qun and Yu Jia, and even the fans at the scene, could not have imagined that James would spread the word in the most critical round.

Of course, it doesn't mean that this move is incorrect, but it also shows that James' own three-pointers are not completely trusted.

With an attack time of 1.2 seconds, James made a hasty shot after receiving the ball, but failed to kill the Bobcats.

137-137!

The game entered the third overtime of the fierce battle.

"Okay, let's continue working overtime."

"If this game is lost, I'm talking about the Cleveland Cavaliers. There is a high probability that this round of the series will be lost. With the first record in the league, it seems disrespectful to be eliminated in this way."

Su Qun thought about the next game. If the Bobcats can win Tianwang Mountain and return to the home court, the probability of winning the series is really not small.

Before the third overtime came, Mo Williams was still discussing the pass with James, and there seemed to be a quarrel, but in the end it ended quickly with a high-five reconciliation.

It's time for a third overtime!
"In this game, the home fans of the Cavaliers are worth the ticket price. This one is worth two games."

This is also the fourth jump ball in this game. The veteran center Ben Wallace got the first possession for the team. James rushed to the basket, but James Posey, who had quick eyes and quick hands, took a backhand .

After the steal, the Bobcats directly launched a counterattack. Zhou Lin was not slow to hit the ball, almost reaching the ball. Roy made a layup and won the first place in overtime!
139-137, which is also the Charlotte Bobcats' first lead in three overtimes.

"Larry Brown's Charlotte Bobcats are too tenacious, and the team's third-year twin stars have also grown to a certain level. Now they both scored 34 points, completely overshadowing James' 58 points, James, who scored 54 points in regular time, has only scored 4 points since entering overtime, and his shooting percentage is 9 of 2."

The fans of the Cleveland Cavaliers are eagerly looking forward to a quick response from their leader James, but this round, James once again chose to pass the ball. Daniel Gibson failed to replicate the magic of the Detroit Pistons in 07, the three-pointer The ball goes wide.

The old Ben Wallace and James got entangled in order to compete for the floor ball, and the referee chose to scrimmage the ball.

The two jumped the ball, and Ben Wallace once again got an offensive opportunity for the Cleveland Cavaliers, but LeBron James still failed to complete the finish. Even his best layup was finally affected by Yi Jianlian. Missed the basket.

As for the Bobcats, as if they had seen the dawn, their confidence doubled. Yi Jianlian, who made continuous contributions on the defensive end, received a pass from Zhou Lin in the middle distance and made a steady free throw.

The 4-0 start directly stopped the Cleveland Cavaliers.

"Now the initiative has come to the Charlotte Bobcats. James and his Cavaliers wasted too many opportunities to kill Zhou Lin and his Charlotte Bobcats. Now it's their turn to get into trouble."

Although after the timeout ended, James finally relied on the alley-oop scoring with Mo Williams, and by the way set the playoffs' highest record to 60 points, but the Cavaliers' decline has already shown signs.

Mike Dunleavy's three-pointer, which has not fired for a long time, can be regarded as a handful of salt on the Cavaliers' wounds.

Mo. Williams missed a three-pointer, which basically tipped the balance of victory in this game to the Bobcats.

Zhou Lin's breakthrough created a foul by Daniel Gibson, who made two free throws, and Brandon Roy also made a mid-range shot over the head of veteran center Ben Wallace.

With 58 seconds left in the game, the Bobcats had a 148-141 lead of 7 points.

James missed a desperate three-pointer, declaring that the three-overtime game ended in victory for the visiting team.

The final score was fixed at 150-143, and the Charlotte Bobcats won the triple overtime battle.

周林砍下了37分12助攻13篮板的大号三双，布兰登.罗伊则是37分5助攻7篮板，另外易建联也有19分10篮板入账，罗伊.希伯特12分9篮板2封盖，迈克.邓利维12分……

For James, today's milestone has become a sad mileage. Although he finally scored 42 points with 19 of 62 shots, it was difficult to prevent the team's final loss, and James played in overtime. Terrible, scoring a meager 8 on very low shooting percentages, while also missing two chances to kill the game.

After this game, it was the Cleveland Cavaliers standing on the edge of a cliff.

"How does Zhou Lin feel now? This is really the thrilling game I have seen." Duan Ran interviewed Zhou Lin.

Zhou Lin shook his head and said: "This game, I feel like playing two games. To be honest, apart from the persistence of our players, this game is also a little bit lucky. Of course, I also thank the compatriots in the motherland for their support."

"The next game, back to Charlotte, are you confident that you will win the game and enter the Eastern Conference Finals first?"

"I am very sure of that."

Zhou Lin was also very tired, so the interview time was really short.

Back at CCTV, Su Qun and Yu Jia could finally go to dinner with peace of mind. The fight started at 9 o'clock in the morning, and it was almost 2 o'clock in the morning.

"Teacher Su Qun, how do you feel after watching the game?"

"I Zhou Lin and Ah Lian are happy. They are facing the MVP player James of the season, and you have also seen how good James is. Even though the Bobcats have carried out constant siege, they still let him get the season The career-high 62 points in the playoffs, if the Cleveland Cavaliers were stronger inside, I am afraid the result will be different. Of course, we must admit the talent and hard work of Zhou Lin and Ah Lian, especially Ah Lian. For the second time, the town guarded the inside line."

"The matter of Emeka Okafor and Anderson Varejao is also very likely to affect the next game."

"It's such a big mess, I guess, neither player will be able to play in the next game, I guess they will be suspended for 1-2 games, but Varejao's actions, if you were you, you would be angry too, right?" Su group road.

"Of course, if Varejao can't play and Okafor can't play, in fact, it should still be beneficial to the Charlotte Bobcats."
