This striker is a bit of a monster
Chapter 312 Countdown lore, 4-1 first to enter the finals
Chapter 312 Countdown lore, 4-1 first to enter the finals
In the long history of the previous NBA, leading 3-1 in the playoffs, the number of final comebacks only happened 9 times, which can be described as one of the few. In the history of the Eastern Conference Finals, leading 3-1 was defeated The comeback matchup will be the seven-game battle between the Celtics and the Philadelphia 1968ers in 76. The Philadelphia 76ers, who held three match points, were pulled by the Celtics for three consecutive games and finally advanced 3-4. In the finals, the peak duel between 'Lord of the Rings' Bill Russell and 'Basketball Emperor' Chamberlain, was the first time in history that a 3-match 7-win format was adopted, turning the tide and winning.
The American sports media is extremely careful about this kind of probability, and through the statistics of probability, the probability of the Charlotte Bobcats entering the finals has reached 99%.
Breaking into the finals in the fifth year of the team's establishment has already created a historical record. Because of the wonderful performance of the Bobcats, the team has become the most popular sports team in Charlotte, even overshadowing those in the same city. The older North Carolina Panthers.
The influence of American sports events is extremely terrifying. Basically, the streets and alleys are now discussing the Charlotte Bobcats, and even the fans are counting how many games the Charlotte Bobcats need to win the championship. Yes, according to theory, the Bobcats win five more games and they will be able to win the NBA championship this season.
Boss Joe is already laughing. The Bobcats’ playoff tickets are almost sold out. The team’s peripherals, jerseys, long johns, protective gear, shoes, socks, and bracelets are also selling like a raging fire. Once the Charlotte Bobcats win another game against the Orlando Magic, the Bobcats can start selling Finals tickets.
It is estimated that Robert Johnson, the owner who sold the team in the first half of this season, probably regretted that his legs were swollen. No one, including himself, would have thought that Charlotte, who was only on the edge of the playoffs in the first half The Bobcats will win the Eastern Conference championship under the charge of a group of young people. If Robert Johnson can sell the team one season later, which is the same as the time in history, then he can sell at least 30% more .
Of course, it has to be said that Michael Jordan was really lucky. Although his purchase price was higher than expected, if he is willing to sell the team this summer or next season, he can sell it whatever he wants. Earning a small goal is no problem.
The team played well, and the players naturally benefited a lot. The main players of the Bobcats have been favored by many sponsors, and the two core players of the team, Zhou Lin and Brandon Roy, are the main ones. Both are expected to sign a new sneaker contract ahead of schedule.
The millions that Anta spends on Zhou Lin every year are simply not worth it. With the help of Zhou Lin’s great reputation, Zhou Lin’s signature shoes, three series, control the first generation, control the second generation-Xin Wang Dangli, control III Dai-Omnipotent, with Zhou Lin making a name for himself, this year's All-Star color matching Omnipotent series, not only sold out in China, but was also snapped up abroad.
There is a great situation where domestic products stand out.
Relying on this wave of operations, Anta is now vaguely overtaking Li Ning to become a new generation of China's sporting goods big brother.
Recently, Zhou Lin's agent, Thomas Miles, has been ringing with phone calls. The contract between Zhou Lin and Anta has only one year left, and Anta definitely wants to renew the contract in advance. It is conservatively estimated that the new contract The average annual contract fee will be at least three times larger than the previous contract. This is the premise that Zhou Lin is more inclined to sign contracts with domestic brands. Otherwise, if he opens up American brands, Nike and Adidas will definitely come to snatch people. Even so , There are at least three mainstream basketball brands in China, waiting for Zhou Lin to choose, Anta, Li Ning, and Peak.
Of course, the current Zhou Lin has no time to deal with these matters, and everything has been pushed to Thomas Myers.
However, Miles is busy enough. The economic company in which Zhou Lin holds shares has already signed four NBA players including Zhou Lin, and Roy Hibbert, who is also on the same team as Zhou Lin. In addition, the Crazy Three has come to an end, and Thomas Myers is also constantly looking for clients—some prospective NBA players who are preparing for the draft.
The economic company that was once almost bankrupt is also developing in a state of crazy expansion.
Zhou Lin is the living name card of Thomas Myers. If it wasn't for Zhou Lin's unwillingness to interfere in these matters, Thomas Myers even wanted Zhou Lin to help him join the ranks of winning customers.
In addition, Misha also officially graduated from university, and Zhou Lin also took time to attend his graduation ceremony at the University of Richmond.
After attending the graduation ceremony, Zhou Lin took Misha to Orlando to play G5 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
On the plane, Zhou Lin suddenly said: "Goddess of Luck, if the Bobcats can win the championship this year, then let's get married!"
Zhou Lin feels that everything is stable for him. Misha has graduated from university, and the two have been together for four years. It is indeed time for them to be together.
"Then I will definitely agree to your marriage proposal."
……
"We're bringing the game back to Charlotte!"
Although the Orlando Magic are already 1-3 behind, all fans are looking forward to a miracle.
The home of the Orlando Magic, Amway Center Arena, is a sea of blue today, and all the fans are wearing blue cheering T-shirts.
It says 'We Believe in Miracles'.
This scene is very similar to when the Bobcats were in trouble last year. In the playoffs last year, the opponent in the Eastern Conference semifinals was also the Orlando Magic. Zhou Lin even lost his teeth. In this field, he lost the key Tianwangshan , and in G6, all the fans cheered for the Bobcats. Although they lost that round of the series, in the hearts of the fans, the Bobcats did not lose.
And now the team in trouble has become the Orlando Magic.
Dwight Howard practiced free throws before the game. In this round of the series, Howard also had a superb performance of 19 of 14 free throws, but more of them were 23 of 7, such super ghost performances.
You know, if Dwight Howard can score two more free throws, maybe it will be the battle of Tianwangshan when he returns to the Magic's home court.
And after losing the last game, Dwight Howard was also in front of the media, feeling very depressed about his failure to make those key free throws, and said that this game, he will definitely not be like the last game Missed like that.
The Lakers in the west next door, after losing G4, returned home and won Tianwangshan. If the Bobcats can win today, the Bobcats will enter the waiting area of the finals first.
On May 5, the fifth game of the Eastern Conference Finals officially started.
The Orlando Magic took Pietrus into the starting lineup. Frenchman Michael Pietrus' defensive performance in the last game was recognized by Van Gundy.
On the Magic side, the defense at the back line is indeed a bit weak. Whether it is Ralph Alston, Anthony Johnson, or JJ Redick, or the newly returned Jamal Nelson, they are all loopholes on the defensive end.
Facing a tall and mature guard like Brandon Roy, it is difficult to defend. Also, the Bobcats players are tall. Once they are misplaced, it is really difficult for the Magic to defend.
The Bobcats continue to use the starters from the previous game: Raymond Felton, Brandon Roy, Zhou Lin, Yi Jianlian, Emeka Okafor.
And with the deepening of the game, Brandon Roy's recovery from his injury also showed a good trend. In this game, Larry Brown, who wanted to win the game in one go, also announced before the game that he was relieved of his injury. Landon Roy's time limit order.
"Now the Bobcats are just short of reaching the finals for the first time in team history. I also hope to see this game. The Bobcats can stabilize their mentality and play well in this game."
Yi Jianlian helped the Charlotte Bobcats win the ball in the first wave of offense. Zhou Lin of the Bobcats held the ball, and Yi Jianlian came up with the first pick-and-roll, but the referee called it an illegal screen.
On the defensive end, the Bobcats are also very active here. Raymond Felton's press almost broke Alston's ball directly, but it was also due to Felton's gambling steal that gave the dribble The skillful Alston took a chance. Alston used a dribbling method similar to the ground dragon in the catch action, escaped Felton's defense, broke through to the inside and attracted a double-team, and gave it to Sarah on the side De Lewis made a mid-range hit.
Today's Charlotte Bobcats is undoubtedly a little excited, and even the players are already ready to celebrate the Eastern Conference championship trophy in the away game.
But this kind of excitement is sometimes a double-edged sword.
Looking back, the pick-and-roll between Emeka Okafor and Redmond Felton ended with Emeka Okafor's buttery hand.
The ball Felton gave just now was a bit high, but it was not an easy task to pass Dwight Howard, who had exploded in physical fitness, and Raymond Felton was also afraid of being cut off.
Looking back, the Orlando Magic played a classic pick-and-roll between Hedo Turkoglu and Dwight Howard. Turkoglu guided accurately and let Howard play wild on the basket again.
Today's Pietrus is also obsessed with Brandon Roy, and Brandon Roy's shot is also missed again. Looking back, Sharad Lewis once again challenged Yi Jianlian's high shot in the middle distance.
Larry Brown still didn't call a timeout. Felton finally thought of giving the ball to Zhou Lin, but facing the away basket, Zhou Lin didn't make a shot. During the retreat, Zhou Lin wanted to Going to intercept Alston's ball, but was fouled by the opponent.
The Magic played steadily, and Warcraft beat Okafor in the paint, turning over and hitting a hook.
At 9 minutes and 46 seconds into the game, the Orlando Magic made all of their first four offenses, while the Bobcats' first four offenses were either turnovers or misses. An 8-0 start, let coach Larry Brown sit Can't stop.
"Today the Bobcats seem to be a little too excited. Every player's movements are great, and the shots are a little too strong."
The commentary also noticed this phenomenon.
Yu Jia nodded and said: "It is estimated that Coach Larry Brown has also noticed this phenomenon. After all, the Bobcats are a young team. After winning this game, they will be able to enter the finals. It is difficult not to have some psychological fluctuations. ah."
"Now, in addition to the players' own adjustments, the coach's psychological comfort is also inevitable, but I think Larry Brown is the coach of Qiansheng who has won the championship. This kind of thing should not be difficult to do."
"Well, I hope that after the timeout, the Bobcats can calm down. Don't think this is an Eastern Conference finals, but treat it with a normal heart."
"As the core of the team, Zhou Lin must also set an example."
What Larry Brown said on the bench was actually similar to what Su Qun and Yu Jia thought. Sure enough, the timeout was still useful.
Larry Brown told his disciples, don't rush to shoot from the outside, try to break through more, try to find opportunities at the free throw line, the Bobcats used three breakthroughs and three passes, allowing Zhou Lin to find the opportunity and cheated Lewis, free throw opportunity.
Zhou Lin's two free throws also helped the team break the temporary scoring shortage.
"Yes, playing like this, Zhou Lin is still a young and mature player."
After coming back, Sharad Lewis of the Orlando Magic finally missed the first shot. The Arab League, who made two consecutive mid-range shots, was a little helpless. This round, the Arab League also raised a lot.
After Emeka Okafor got the rebound, he gave it to Zhou Lin. Zhou Lin quickly pushed the fast break and went to the basket for a dunk.
The bobcats who stabilized their mood once again played a smooth offense. After Zhou Lin scored four points in a row, Brandon Roy and Redmond Felton's conduction from the outside attracted double-teams and gave Yi Jianlian who cut inside a good one. With no chance, Yi Jianlian broke through for a layup and reached 2+1.
The scores of the two teams came to the same starting line again.
However, at 7 minutes and 12 seconds into the game, Zhou Lin's blocking of Pietrus was whistled for a shooting foul by the on-duty referee, which made Zhou Lin and the head coach Larry Brown very dissatisfied. After complaining a few times, Larry Brown, who had a bad temper because of this, was called a technical foul by the referee.
Zhou Lin not only ended up with two fouls, but also gave the Magic three free throw opportunities in vain, and the opponent also used these three free throw opportunities to gain another chance to lead again.
"This is the home court of the Orlando Magic. The Bobcats must stabilize their emotions, especially the head coach and core players. Don't be affected by the opponent's emotions."
Seeing Zhou Lin walk off the court with an innocent face covered in a towel, Su Qun said helplessly: "They are 1-3 behind now, and they are still playing at home. According to the rules of the world, the referee should take care of it a little bit. , so the Bobcats must adapt to the referee's calls."
"The Bobcats have replaced Vaughn Weaver here. It seems that the wonderful performance in the last game has impressed the head coach Larry Brown."
"The current lineup depends on how Brandon Roy leads these players."
Brandon Roy's touch today is actually mediocre, and it has something to do with Pietrus' defense, but Okafor grabbed an offensive rebound at the basket and scored 2+1, which can be regarded as a relief for the Bobcats The team's current scoring predicament.
The comeback effect in the last game was average. Jamal Nelson came off the bench in the next round, and he forced a three-pointer as soon as he came on the court, but failed to make a hit. This also made Su Qun shout, this is a good friend of the Bobcats.
Just like the performance in the previous game, on the spiritual level, Jamal Nelson encouraged his teammates, but technically and tactically, Jamal Nelson, who has not recovered to 100%, is actually destroying the team's chemical reaction. In the last game, if Jamal Nelson hadn’t come back, maybe the Magic would have really won. After the game, Jamal Nelson, who played 22 minutes, had the lowest efficiency in the Magic. When he was on the court, the team conceded 11 more points, and in this game, if Jamal Nelson were to play like this, perhaps by accident, he would give the Bobcats another hand.
But Jamal Nelson has status in the team. Even if Jamal Nelson's performance is mediocre, but his performance in the first game of his comeback is sluggish, Van Gundy will not directly abandon Jamal Nelson.
And Jamal Nelson seemed to have heard what the Chinese commentator said. In the next round, he made Raymond Felton's offensive foul, which was considered to make up for the previous wave of shots.
The Bobcats fouled five times, and Felton's offensive foul sent Jamal Nelson to the free throw line.
After making two free throws, the Orlando Magic fell behind by 11 points 17-6.
However, Emeka Okafor performed very well in this game. When he returned to the Bobcats, he used a skill package that he hadn't used for some days - mid-range, facing Howard, and making direct shots.
Okafor scored 5 points in a row, and they all faced Howard's strong counterattack, which also made Howard feel very embarrassed. Back to the Magic's offensive round, Warcraft Howard was going to a deep position , Okafor wanted to stop it was too late, in order to stop Howard, Okafor lost his second foul.
Okafor was also substituted earlier than expected. Larry Brown didn't want to make the same mistake in the previous game. Because Okafor was replaced tens of seconds less, Okafor made a big foul Crisis, Larry Brown is going to strictly control the number of fouls committed by Emeka Okafor in this game.
Since the start of this round of the series, Okafor's cumulative personal fouls have reached 18 times, averaging 4.5 times per game, including six fouls in one game, five fouls in one game, four fouls in one game, and three fouls in one game. side pressure.
And although he swore before the game, he missed the first free throw in the opening game.
And the camera also captured Zhou Lin and Okafor chatting, the two of them were commenting on Howard's free throw shot, and they both smiled.
One of two free throws, this is Howard's standard hit rate.
But when Emeka Okafor and Zhou Lin are not on the court at the same time, the Bobcats are indeed not easy to play, especially Brandon Roy, the second offensive core, has a mediocre touch, and the referee is not good. Especially willing to give whistle to the case.
On the contrary, Vaughn Weaver, in such an important game, once again hit a difficult three-pointer. Even Su Qun in the Chinese studio couldn't help saying: "This player is easy to use and has a lot of confidence in shooting. The attitude is also positive. If the Bobcats can stay this summer, a contract of around 120 million is still worth it. The Bobcats will use Mike Dunleavy as the core of the lineup this season, but Dunleavy is a pitcher after all. In fact, it would be more comfortable to play with the main force. After all, Dunleavy's breakthrough threat is not great, and he cannot create offensive opportunities for other players. Vaughn Weaver has breakthrough ability, and, as the second place in 02, Dunleavy, this year After the game, it will be the contract year, and the value of the transaction is not small, that is, the combat power and the expiring contract, many teams need it, and use it to exchange for a better guard, Yu Jia, what do you think?"
Yu Jia smiled and said: "That's what the general manager should do, but Dunleavy's statistics have declined seriously this year. After Roy played, Mike Dunleavy's room to play is too small. Switch to other teams Going, it's a good thing for Dunleavy and the Bobcats."
Su Qun still likes players like Vaughn Weaver.
Of course, if Weaver continues to play like this, the basic salary of 120 million may not be able to sign.
In the first quarter of the game, the Orlando Magic, who are at home, still showed a different mental outlook. Got a full 10 points online.
Walked to the free throw line 14 times, compared to just 5 free throws for the Bobcats and 4 hits.
Of course, this is also the reason why the Bobcats filled up the number of fouls to five times early.
33-23, the Orlando Magic hold a double-digit lead.
In the second quarter of the game, Zhou Lin and Emeka Okafor finally lifted the ban. Players who also committed 2 fouls have only one foul limit in this quarter, whether it is Zhou Lin or Emeka Okafor Fu got his third foul and would be taken down by Larry Brown.
For this reason, the Bobcats did not let Okafor defend Howard at the beginning, but let Emeka Okafor play four.
Partnering with Zhou Lin is the most comfortable moment for Mike Dunleavy, because Zhou Lin can give the ball more comfortably than Raymond Felton.
In fact, although this season was a substitute, the overall playing time of Mike Dunleavy has not been reduced too much, maintaining at 28.2 minutes, which is only 33.2 minutes less than last season's 5 minutes, but this season Mike Dunleavy However, his scoring has dropped from 20.2 points last season to only 13.7 points this season. At the same time, his three-point shooting percentage has also dropped from 41% to 37.5%. In the round, Mike Dunleavy needs to play singles with the ball. As a white athlete, Mike Dunleavy's ability in singles is indeed limited.
Mike Dunleavy suddenly found his touch. Zhou Lin was not selfish at all. He directly passed the ball to Mike Dunleavy four times in a row. Dunleavy hit three of four, a wave of 9-2, and directly stopped Orlando Magic.
Anyway, Van Gundy is like this. If there is a problem with the team's offensive end, he will have fewer timeouts and basically let the players solve it by themselves. But once the player makes a mistake on the defensive end or the opponent makes a move, Van Gundy will Immediately call timeout.
After Cornett Lee directly replaced Jamal Nelson, the Orlando Magic can switch defenses indefinitely. When Nelson was on the court, the 1.8-meter Nelson was replaced in front of Mike Dunleavy. 'It's not enough.
In Orlando, except for Howard on the inside, all of them switched defenses whenever they met, and the effect was really good. After Mike Dunleavy was chased by Cornett Lee for a few times, his shooting really began to fluctuate.
However, although the Orlando Magic regained their sense of defensive urgency, on the offensive end, Warcraft did not seize the opportunity well when facing Emeka Okafor, who was in danger of fouling. Got a good chance at the basket, but they were all interfered by Okafor's long arm.
However, Hedo Turkoglu scored a difficult goal against Zhou Lin's close defense.
In this round of the series, apart from Jamal Nelson who suffered from injuries, Turkoglu is undoubtedly the worst performer among the main players.
Also, in Zhou Lin, who is about the same height as me, younger than me, better physically gifted than me, who is also a supporting striker, but better skilled than me, Hedo Turkoglu was very uncomfortable in the fight. It's the fifth game, and this is Hedo Turkoglu's third three-pointer. You must know that in the last round of the game, Turkoglu basically made about two three-pointers in every game. Three-pointers, now only 14 of 3 three-pointers, not many shots, not many goals.
But Zhou Lin also responded very quickly. He swung Turkoglu from outside the three-point line and went straight in. In the middle distance, Howard was in a position of inconsistency. Grew was also called for a foul.
The Bobcats are undoubtedly the better team in the second quarter. Zhou Lin and Emeka Okafor both controlled their fouls, except for Okafor who received his third when the rotation time was approaching. In addition to two fouls, Zhou Lin controlled the number of fouls in the first half to two.
Then, Cornett Lee missed a three-pointer at the buzzer before the whistle.
Halftime is over.
The Orlando Magic lead the away Charlotte Bobcats 54-50.
The score advantage of 11 points has also been chased to only 4 points.
"Okay, the halftime game is over, the two teams each played a good quarter, and now there is only a 4-point difference. The suspense of the game is still very high."
Su Qun said: "Mike Dunleavy's three three-pointers are really important. In this game, Dunleavy's three-pointers are very accurate. We can give more playing time in the second half. And Vaughn Weaver, this player I also like It’s not just mentioned once, it’s really true that you can score if you dare to shoot, the Bobcats can’t just rely on Zhou Lin and Roy to play, they still need more players to stand up.”
After a short rest, the game continued.
At the beginning of the third quarter, the Orlando Magic suddenly increased their defensive strength. First, they suddenly defended a full-court press, which really worked. They actually forced the Bobcats to come back at the beginning of the game. low-level mistakes.
On the offensive end, the opponent still used Lewis to beat Yi Jianlian. Yi Jianlian was beaten twice in a row and was replaced by Mike Dunleavy.
Even the commentator on the CCTV side was confused by Lewis' steady middle distance like an old dog and didn't know how to explain.
Although Ah Lian and Lewis are both playing the [-]th position now, they are both swing players. Ah Lian is a swinging position from the [-]th position to the [-]th position, while Sharad Lewis is from the [-]th position to the [-]rd position. The swaying, the matchup between the two, Ah Lian was born at a disadvantage.
"Sharad Lewis' game is really a lesson for the UAE."
"Oh, Mike Dunleavy is going to defend Lewis. In this matchup, Dunleavy will suffer a little bit in confrontation, but in terms of scoring ability, Mike Dunleavy also has his own brush. Now Mike Dunleavy's three-pointer The ball is three of six, and there are three consecutive performances, let's see how the Orlando Magic are going to defend against this sharp shooter. The defense against Dunleavy in the first half is to change every time."
Mike Dunleavy was a bit of a disadvantage when he hit the fourth position. Sharad Lewis directly hit Mike Dunleavy in it. The height and weight of the two are actually a bit similar, and they are both thin insiders. They all weigh around 230 pounds, but Mike Dunleavy, who is one inch shorter, is white after all, while Sharad Lewis is black, so Sharad Lewis is better in the interior against explosive power.
It's just that after Mike Dunleavy was hit, he immediately found an opportunity, seized the gap between the opponent's defense, received an assist from his teammates, and scored two points directly.
Back in the other half, Lewis received the ball in the low post again, faced Dunleavy's defense, turned around, broke through with his left hand into the penalty area, and succeeded in a one-armed dunk.
But before Lewis was happy for a few seconds, Mike Dunleavy made his fourth three-pointer of the field!
"Dun Levy feels like he's just getting up with the opponent's Lewis. If you make one, I'll blow one."
"That's still a good deal for the Bobcats. After all, the Bobcats scored three-pointers!"
"If the Bobcats can win this game, Dunleavy must make a big contribution. He is a bit like Vaughn Weaver in the last game. His sudden explosion caught the opponent by surprise."
"16 points, including four three-pointers, the Bobcats are the highest here, and his average scoring in the playoffs is only 12 points."
"Of course, Dunleavy and Weaver are still different. After all, the starting point is different. After all, they are also players who have scored 20+ points in a single season. Now, Dunleavy's three-pointer is gone. The Magic team is going to make a difficult decision. .”
After the Magic requested a timeout, Mike Dunleavy was also praised by the whole team.
"Today's assist is so easy!"
Mike Dunleavy's five sports goals, four of which were passed by Zhou Lin. Zhou Lin did not show his talents. He played less than half a quarter in the third quarter and had 8 assists. His scoring is temporarily But only 9 points.
Of course, Zhou Lin is also happy to see this situation. All players participate in the offense, and he is willing to sacrifice part of his shot rights.
After the timeout ended, the Orlando Magic adopted a defensive approach that strictly guarded against pressing. The defensive end also gave the faster-moving Cornett Lee to restrain Mike Dunleavy, which slightly restrained Mike Dunleavy The consecutive hits of this big sniper.
However, in the next stage, the Bobcats were suddenly harassed by a foul crisis. Raymond Felton, Zhou Lin, and Emeka Okafor suffered consecutive fouls, which also led to a good performance for the Bobcats. The offensive situation was blocked, and Larry Brown, who had already received a technical offender, didn't complain too much. He was also a little worried that he would be sent off the court directly.
At the end of the third quarter, Zhou Lin, as the main scorer of the Bobcats, stood up when his teammates were restrained, singled out Pietrus, passed Turkoglu and Lewis in a row, rushed to the basket, Successful dunk.
Relying on Zhou Lin scoring 6 consecutive points at the end of the third quarter, the Bobcats have stabilized the situation.
In the third quarter, the two sides are in a state of draw.
79-75!
The game entered the most tragic fourth quarter, and at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Okafor received his fifth personal foul because of a rebounding foul, and was forced to be pushed off the court. It's time for the decisive battle to play again.
Without Emeka Okafor, the inside line of the Bobcats became empty. Sharad Lewis, who had already scored 24 points, opened up a variety of mid-range moments when facing Yi Jianlian.
"The United Arab Emirates really can't guard against Lewis! It's really better to use Dunleavy to play the fourth position, or Luke Mbah a Moute can also play the fourth position."
Even though Ah Lian is a Chinese player, it is difficult for Yi Jianlian to guard Lewis from the sidelines, and his reaction and speed are not at the same level.
But at the moment when Larry Brown was about to replace Ah Lian, Ah Lian withstood the pressure and got to a deep position in the interior. Even Howard came to help defend, but Ah Lian still It was by using his height, turning over a jumper, making Lewis' foul and scoring!
This also made Larry Brown call back Luke Mbah a Moute who had gone out to replace Yi Jianlian.
"UA should do that. His body is one size bigger than Lewis. As long as UA has enough confidence, they can still fight."
After the UAE made a penalty and added a free throw.
第四节比赛进行到7分12秒，山猫队依旧以84-88，落后对手4分。
Sharad Lewis finally missed the shot. Yi Jianlian got the rebound and gave it to Zhou Lin. Zhou Lin made the ball very fast, and it was given to Roy who was fast down. Roy did not disappoint Zhou Lin's layup and made a layup. Under the circumstances, Zhou Lin's assists finally came to double digits.
86-88, only 2 points away.
Alston's shot missed, but Howard got the rebound, faced Roy Hibbert under the basket and scored two points.
90-86!
In the next 5 minutes, the point difference between the two teams has been hovering between 2-6 points. The Orlando Magic couldn't open it, and the Bobcats couldn't score.
Emeka Okafor finally made it to the last 2 minutes of the game.
2分02秒，山猫队以99-103落后4分。
Emeka Okafor and Mike Dunleavy were replaced, and Roy Hibbert and Yi Jianlian were ready to play the final decisive moment.
"The point difference is so close, today, there may be overtime again!"
Su Qun said with a smile.
"The Lynx team played overtime games unambiguously, including the reversal of the previous game to win in overtime games. The playoffs are not counted. This season, the Lynx team played a total of 8 overtime games and won 7 of them. It can be seen that the Bobcats team is a big heart, and the more important the moment, the stronger the team."
The Bobcats once again played a small lineup, with Okafor playing five and Mike Dunleavy playing four.
The Orlando Magic saw the opponent's lineup, and Okafor had five fouls on the court. Zhou Lin went to help Okafor defend Howard this round, and he also lost one of his own fouls. The control of the number is not bad, and it is only the fourth time now.
The time to test Howard's free throws has come again. In this game, Howard made 9 of 5 free throws, which is much better than the 23 of 7 in the previous game, but he just passed.
"Howard should have made one of two free throws again! If I remember correctly, Howard's four free throws were 2 of 1 from the field."
The 50% rule has come true again.
Howard missed his first free throw, and Howard was also very annoyed. Although the second free throw was scored, it was still profitable for the Bobcats. After all, Howard had almost reached the position where he had to go in just now.
At 1 minute and 47 seconds, the Bobcats still had a chance to get the score back.
The Bobcats took advantage of their best continuous scoring, and Brandon Roy, who had a poor shooting feeling in this game, hit the ground with a cold arrow from outside the three-point line after receiving a pass from Zhou Lin!
1 minutes and 27 seconds, 102-104!
"Roy, big heart, this game is the first outside the three-point line!"
"The Bobcats' [-]-point shooting is really scary."
"The Magic also want to return one, but unfortunately, this ball should still be given to the inside!"
The Orlando Magic also wanted to return one from the perimeter. The ball went to pitcher JJ Redick. Unfortunately, Redick's shot was obviously too big. After the Bobcats got the rebound, they immediately requested a timeout.
"Coach Larry Brown is still cautious. This goal is very important. As long as you score, you will overtake or equalize!"
Put away the tactical board, the Bobcats players went to the court, if they scored in this round, the momentum of the game will come back.
The tactics still revolve around Zhou Lin.
Zhou Lin and Okafor made a pick-and-roll, and on the other side Mike Dunleavy used Roy's screen to make a back run. Roy attracted two defensive players at the top of the arc, but missed Mike Dunleavy.
Zhou Lin broke through the bottom line and saw Mike Dunleavy!
After Dunleavy received the ball, he raised his hand and shot without any hesitation.
Swish.
Dunleavy's ball made the Amway Center fall into silence.
1分10秒，105-104！山猫队反超1分。
Is it the same as G4?
Leading the whole game, but was overtaken at the last minute.
"How can the Magic miss the most accurate Mike Dunleavy? Coach Larry Brown's tactics are very clear. Zhou Lin, Okafor, Roy, and Dunleavy all have opportunities to make shots. There is no doubt that Mike Dunleavy's Opportunities are the best, if the Magic lose this game, this ball is very important, and it may be lost on this ball.”
"As a veteran, Dunleavy can still play a key role in this critical game. Five three-pointers really stunned the Magic."
Su Qun said with emotion: "We were still discussing the trade of Dunleavy just now."
"Haha, we want to apologize to Dunleavy!"
"The Magic must score in the next round. If they don't score, the Bobcats will play one against time, and the game may be lost."
Stan Van Gundy made it clear during the timeout that Sharad Lewis must be given. In this game, Sharad Lewis scored a game-high 28 points. Whether facing Mike Dunleavy or Yi Jianlian, he played Dislocation advantage.
However, Larry Brown also had an insight into Dafan's arrangement. Although Sharad Lewis received the ball in the end, Raymond Felton's pressure on Alstom, the ball holder, caused Als to pass. It took 14 seconds to give Sharad Lewis, and now the time is not friendly to the lagging side. The less time there is, the greater the pressure on the lagging side.
Mike Dunleavy also chased desperately. Sharad Lewis's shot was not very comfortable, but he finally scored!
"105 draws, [-] points, Sharad Lewis is really big today!"
In 57 seconds, the Bobcats have to hit one, and now the Bobcats must hit the side.
Larry Brown did not choose to timeout, because now there is only one timeout left, which must be saved until the next round.
The ball was still in Zhou Lin's hands. This was almost the same tactic as in the previous round. The difference was that Zhou Lin chose to shoot by himself in this round.
drop!
Although Zhou Lin didn't score, the referee gave the whistle.
"Can this blow too?"
Howard was very dissatisfied, and also annoyed why he stretched out his hand to press down just now.
"Zhou Lin's free throws are still very stable!"
It's just that before Su Qun finished speaking, Zhou Lin missed the first free throw amidst the booing of the audience.
"Zhou Lin, hold on tight!"
Su Qun was in a hurry!
Simply, Zhou Lin hit the second free throw.
106-105!
"If this game is lost, it is likely to be on this free throw,"
As Zhou Lin walked towards the players' bench, he was annoyed that he made one of two free throws.
In 36 seconds, the current Orlando Magic has several options. When they are only 1 point behind, they can choose a fast attack, which can leave an extra chance to attack, or press the time and use up the round time, but in that case , the initiative will be left to the opponent, regardless of whether it is hit or not.
Larry Brown arranged a tight defensive strategy for the players, which also made the Orlando Magic's quick offense go to waste.
It was almost eight seconds before halftime.
The ball was still given to Sharad Lewis who was the most confident in the game.
In this round, the main defense against Lewis was replaced by Zhou Lin. Zhou Lin knew very well that the opponent wanted to hit Lewis.
Lewis almost pressed until the round time ran out before choosing to make a shot!
And Xu Huang from Lewis also lied to Zhou Lin.
The same goes to the free throw line.
Zhou Lin fouled for the fifth time, but it was irrelevant to the game.
"In 14 seconds, if Lewis wants to make two free throws, the Bobcats are really in trouble."
If Lewis made 2 free throws and led by 1 point, the Bobcats should not control the time, because if they can't score, they can still foul.
But Lewis politely returned one to the Bobcats. When Lewis missed the first free throw, the fans in the Amway Center looked the same as Zhou Lin failed to hit the free throw just now. They were all regretful and helpless.
It was also two free throws and one hit!
The Bobcats also used the final timeout here.
"Now it's interesting!"
"The Bobcats have the initiative. As long as they are not intercepted by their opponents, they can shoot the ball under the pressure of time and make it into the game-winning game. If they fail to make the shot, in overtime, Lewis' two free throws can be regarded as making up for Zhou Lin's two free throws." [-] penalty."
The Bobcats are listening to tactics here, and Larry Brown's tactics here are very simple.
"It's a superstar moment, and it's a moment that a lot of players have to deal with."
Because this is the last round.
Now all the defensive strategies of the opponent will be used, and now it is time to use personal ability to solve the problem.
"You decide the ball!"
Larry Brown finished drawing the tactics, and designated Zhou Lin as the first ball-holding option for this ball. In addition, Roy, Mike Dunleavy, and Weaver, all players who performed well in this game, will ambush on the outside as a support!
"Now the Magic should be very clear when they think about it with their toes. The Bobcats will try their best to give the ball to Zhou Lin. The Bobcats should not make mistakes and stabilize their mentality."
Inside the Amway Center, fans chanted 'defense' as the Orlando Magic worked their way through what could be the final round of the season.
As a result of the pressing, the Bobcats had to throw the ball to the backcourt and let Weaver dribble it up. It took Zhou Lin 10 seconds to get rid of it. When he caught the ball, all the audience stood up.
Zhou Lin glanced at the timer, and could not leave more than 1 second to the opponent. This was the most basic attitude.
Zhou Lin made a threat from outside the three-point line, but he rushed to the inside without hesitation, because now 2 points and 3 points are the same, and even winning a foul is okay.
At 1 second, Zhou Lin pulled his hips back. Lewis lost his defensive focus. After Zhou Lin made a shot, the red light came on, and all the fans in the stadium paid attention to the ball.
Swish!
The audience was dead silent, and many fans and players on the bench couldn't help but hide their faces.
The players of the Magic team were all limp and without a trace of strength.
"Zhou Lin, Zhou Lin is the lore! The Charlotte Bobcats eliminated the opponent Orlando Magic 4-1, making it to the Finals for the first time in team history!"
As an away muffler, Zhou Lin was hugged by his teammates after making a signature silence gesture. Even Larry Brown raised his hands high, stood up from the coach's bench, and ran into the field .
The referee watched the last shot and confirmed that the countdown light was on after Zhou Lin made a shot, that is to say, Zhou Lin completed a very beautiful countdown lore!
109-106!
The Charlotte Bobcats won the game.
In this game, although Zhou Lin 'only' scored 24 points, 12 assists and 6 rebounds, he contributed the most exciting lore in the entire series!
Of course, the victory of the game also belongs to the teammates.
In this game, Mike Dunleavy, who stood up from the bench, scored 5 three-pointers and scored 20 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists. Emeka Okafor also had 12 points and 14 rebounds, and he faced In addition, Yi Jianlian also scored 7 points, Raymond Felton scored 12 points, and Brandon Roy scored 17 points in general, but he also scored a critical three-pointer.
"Congratulations, Zhou!"
Warcraft Howard was the first one from the Magic team to congratulate Zhou Lin.
"thank you my friend!"
"You are such a hated and liked guy."
"I treat you to Chinese food during the offseason!"
Zhou Lin patted Howard's chest and smiled, "It's time to restore friendship."
Other Magic players also came up to hug Zhou Lin.
"You're the best big man I've ever seen, and you deserve this win."
Although somewhat reluctant, Lewis still expressed his congratulations to Zhou Lin.
In this game, Sharad Lewis scored 17 of 10 and contributed a team-high 31 points. He also had 7 rebounds and 5 assists. Warcraft Howard scored 21 points, 15 rebounds and 3 blocks, ranking first among other players. The first starter, Mike Pietrus, scored 18 points...
According to the usual practice, Zhou Lin was still the first to be interviewed by the Chinese media, and it was still Duan Ran's interview.
"This year the team is supposed to win. We prepared for a long time, and we also encountered some problems, such as trades and injuries. Fortunately, we maintained the lineup until the playoffs. Although Roy was injured, but It's nothing serious, and it's a very lucky place."
"..."
"In addition, this is not a game that I can win alone. Roy, Dunleavy, and the United Arab Emirates, Okafor, Weaver who stood up on the bench, I heard that the domestic fans gave him a waifu for the king of the bat. No. It was very appropriate, we fought ball by ball and we won the game."
"What about the finals, what are your expectations?"
"It's still too far away."
"Then which team are you more optimistic about?"
"Of course it is best for us to play against Denver, but among the two teams, the Lakers with Gasol and Kobe are undoubtedly stronger. If we meet, we can only say that we will play one game after another."
"Thank you Zhou Lin, next, let's invite Ah Lian to talk..."
At the end of the game, the Charlotte Bobcats won the Eastern Conference championship trophy away.
Regardless of whether it was in the locker room of the away game, the team celebrated wantonly. Wearing the hat and T-shirt of the Eastern Conference champion, each player opened champagne and sprayed it while drinking.
Among them, Okafor and Felton also danced the champagne dance, and finally pulled Zhou Lin and Yi Jianlian to join them. In the end, all the players of the team were in the champagne-scented room, accompanied by music, and the crowd danced wildly. It's okay to twist, who cares, just be happy anyway.
Coach Larry Brown on the side was smoking a cigar, took off his suit, and participated in it.
In his first season with the Charlotte Bobcats, he won the Eastern Conference Championship. Regardless of the finals, for him, this is a huge success...
(End of this chapter)
In the long history of the previous NBA, leading 3-1 in the playoffs, the number of final comebacks only happened 9 times, which can be described as one of the few. In the history of the Eastern Conference Finals, leading 3-1 was defeated The comeback matchup will be the seven-game battle between the Celtics and the Philadelphia 1968ers in 76. The Philadelphia 76ers, who held three match points, were pulled by the Celtics for three consecutive games and finally advanced 3-4. In the finals, the peak duel between 'Lord of the Rings' Bill Russell and 'Basketball Emperor' Chamberlain, was the first time in history that a 3-match 7-win format was adopted, turning the tide and winning.
The American sports media is extremely careful about this kind of probability, and through the statistics of probability, the probability of the Charlotte Bobcats entering the finals has reached 99%.
Breaking into the finals in the fifth year of the team's establishment has already created a historical record. Because of the wonderful performance of the Bobcats, the team has become the most popular sports team in Charlotte, even overshadowing those in the same city. The older North Carolina Panthers.
The influence of American sports events is extremely terrifying. Basically, the streets and alleys are now discussing the Charlotte Bobcats, and even the fans are counting how many games the Charlotte Bobcats need to win the championship. Yes, according to theory, the Bobcats win five more games and they will be able to win the NBA championship this season.
Boss Joe is already laughing. The Bobcats’ playoff tickets are almost sold out. The team’s peripherals, jerseys, long johns, protective gear, shoes, socks, and bracelets are also selling like a raging fire. Once the Charlotte Bobcats win another game against the Orlando Magic, the Bobcats can start selling Finals tickets.
It is estimated that Robert Johnson, the owner who sold the team in the first half of this season, probably regretted that his legs were swollen. No one, including himself, would have thought that Charlotte, who was only on the edge of the playoffs in the first half The Bobcats will win the Eastern Conference championship under the charge of a group of young people. If Robert Johnson can sell the team one season later, which is the same as the time in history, then he can sell at least 30% more .
Of course, it has to be said that Michael Jordan was really lucky. Although his purchase price was higher than expected, if he is willing to sell the team this summer or next season, he can sell it whatever he wants. Earning a small goal is no problem.
The team played well, and the players naturally benefited a lot. The main players of the Bobcats have been favored by many sponsors, and the two core players of the team, Zhou Lin and Brandon Roy, are the main ones. Both are expected to sign a new sneaker contract ahead of schedule.
The millions that Anta spends on Zhou Lin every year are simply not worth it. With the help of Zhou Lin’s great reputation, Zhou Lin’s signature shoes, three series, control the first generation, control the second generation-Xin Wang Dangli, control III Dai-Omnipotent, with Zhou Lin making a name for himself, this year's All-Star color matching Omnipotent series, not only sold out in China, but was also snapped up abroad.
There is a great situation where domestic products stand out.
Relying on this wave of operations, Anta is now vaguely overtaking Li Ning to become a new generation of China's sporting goods big brother.
Recently, Zhou Lin's agent, Thomas Miles, has been ringing with phone calls. The contract between Zhou Lin and Anta has only one year left, and Anta definitely wants to renew the contract in advance. It is conservatively estimated that the new contract The average annual contract fee will be at least three times larger than the previous contract. This is the premise that Zhou Lin is more inclined to sign contracts with domestic brands. Otherwise, if he opens up American brands, Nike and Adidas will definitely come to snatch people. Even so , There are at least three mainstream basketball brands in China, waiting for Zhou Lin to choose, Anta, Li Ning, and Peak.
Of course, the current Zhou Lin has no time to deal with these matters, and everything has been pushed to Thomas Myers.
However, Miles is busy enough. The economic company in which Zhou Lin holds shares has already signed four NBA players including Zhou Lin, and Roy Hibbert, who is also on the same team as Zhou Lin. In addition, the Crazy Three has come to an end, and Thomas Myers is also constantly looking for clients—some prospective NBA players who are preparing for the draft.
The economic company that was once almost bankrupt is also developing in a state of crazy expansion.
Zhou Lin is the living name card of Thomas Myers. If it wasn't for Zhou Lin's unwillingness to interfere in these matters, Thomas Myers even wanted Zhou Lin to help him join the ranks of winning customers.
In addition, Misha also officially graduated from university, and Zhou Lin also took time to attend his graduation ceremony at the University of Richmond.
After attending the graduation ceremony, Zhou Lin took Misha to Orlando to play G5 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
On the plane, Zhou Lin suddenly said: "Goddess of Luck, if the Bobcats can win the championship this year, then let's get married!"
Zhou Lin feels that everything is stable for him. Misha has graduated from university, and the two have been together for four years. It is indeed time for them to be together.
"Then I will definitely agree to your marriage proposal."
……
"We're bringing the game back to Charlotte!"
Although the Orlando Magic are already 1-3 behind, all fans are looking forward to a miracle.
The home of the Orlando Magic, Amway Center Arena, is a sea of blue today, and all the fans are wearing blue cheering T-shirts.
It says 'We Believe in Miracles'.
This scene is very similar to when the Bobcats were in trouble last year. In the playoffs last year, the opponent in the Eastern Conference semifinals was also the Orlando Magic. Zhou Lin even lost his teeth. In this field, he lost the key Tianwangshan , and in G6, all the fans cheered for the Bobcats. Although they lost that round of the series, in the hearts of the fans, the Bobcats did not lose.
And now the team in trouble has become the Orlando Magic.
Dwight Howard practiced free throws before the game. In this round of the series, Howard also had a superb performance of 19 of 14 free throws, but more of them were 23 of 7, such super ghost performances.
You know, if Dwight Howard can score two more free throws, maybe it will be the battle of Tianwangshan when he returns to the Magic's home court.
And after losing the last game, Dwight Howard was also in front of the media, feeling very depressed about his failure to make those key free throws, and said that this game, he will definitely not be like the last game Missed like that.
The Lakers in the west next door, after losing G4, returned home and won Tianwangshan. If the Bobcats can win today, the Bobcats will enter the waiting area of the finals first.
On May 5, the fifth game of the Eastern Conference Finals officially started.
The Orlando Magic took Pietrus into the starting lineup. Frenchman Michael Pietrus' defensive performance in the last game was recognized by Van Gundy.
On the Magic side, the defense at the back line is indeed a bit weak. Whether it is Ralph Alston, Anthony Johnson, or JJ Redick, or the newly returned Jamal Nelson, they are all loopholes on the defensive end.
Facing a tall and mature guard like Brandon Roy, it is difficult to defend. Also, the Bobcats players are tall. Once they are misplaced, it is really difficult for the Magic to defend.
The Bobcats continue to use the starters from the previous game: Raymond Felton, Brandon Roy, Zhou Lin, Yi Jianlian, Emeka Okafor.
And with the deepening of the game, Brandon Roy's recovery from his injury also showed a good trend. In this game, Larry Brown, who wanted to win the game in one go, also announced before the game that he was relieved of his injury. Landon Roy's time limit order.
"Now the Bobcats are just short of reaching the finals for the first time in team history. I also hope to see this game. The Bobcats can stabilize their mentality and play well in this game."
Yi Jianlian helped the Charlotte Bobcats win the ball in the first wave of offense. Zhou Lin of the Bobcats held the ball, and Yi Jianlian came up with the first pick-and-roll, but the referee called it an illegal screen.
On the defensive end, the Bobcats are also very active here. Raymond Felton's press almost broke Alston's ball directly, but it was also due to Felton's gambling steal that gave the dribble The skillful Alston took a chance. Alston used a dribbling method similar to the ground dragon in the catch action, escaped Felton's defense, broke through to the inside and attracted a double-team, and gave it to Sarah on the side De Lewis made a mid-range hit.
Today's Charlotte Bobcats is undoubtedly a little excited, and even the players are already ready to celebrate the Eastern Conference championship trophy in the away game.
But this kind of excitement is sometimes a double-edged sword.
Looking back, the pick-and-roll between Emeka Okafor and Redmond Felton ended with Emeka Okafor's buttery hand.
The ball Felton gave just now was a bit high, but it was not an easy task to pass Dwight Howard, who had exploded in physical fitness, and Raymond Felton was also afraid of being cut off.
Looking back, the Orlando Magic played a classic pick-and-roll between Hedo Turkoglu and Dwight Howard. Turkoglu guided accurately and let Howard play wild on the basket again.
Today's Pietrus is also obsessed with Brandon Roy, and Brandon Roy's shot is also missed again. Looking back, Sharad Lewis once again challenged Yi Jianlian's high shot in the middle distance.
Larry Brown still didn't call a timeout. Felton finally thought of giving the ball to Zhou Lin, but facing the away basket, Zhou Lin didn't make a shot. During the retreat, Zhou Lin wanted to Going to intercept Alston's ball, but was fouled by the opponent.
The Magic played steadily, and Warcraft beat Okafor in the paint, turning over and hitting a hook.
At 9 minutes and 46 seconds into the game, the Orlando Magic made all of their first four offenses, while the Bobcats' first four offenses were either turnovers or misses. An 8-0 start, let coach Larry Brown sit Can't stop.
"Today the Bobcats seem to be a little too excited. Every player's movements are great, and the shots are a little too strong."
The commentary also noticed this phenomenon.
Yu Jia nodded and said: "It is estimated that Coach Larry Brown has also noticed this phenomenon. After all, the Bobcats are a young team. After winning this game, they will be able to enter the finals. It is difficult not to have some psychological fluctuations. ah."
"Now, in addition to the players' own adjustments, the coach's psychological comfort is also inevitable, but I think Larry Brown is the coach of Qiansheng who has won the championship. This kind of thing should not be difficult to do."
"Well, I hope that after the timeout, the Bobcats can calm down. Don't think this is an Eastern Conference finals, but treat it with a normal heart."
"As the core of the team, Zhou Lin must also set an example."
What Larry Brown said on the bench was actually similar to what Su Qun and Yu Jia thought. Sure enough, the timeout was still useful.
Larry Brown told his disciples, don't rush to shoot from the outside, try to break through more, try to find opportunities at the free throw line, the Bobcats used three breakthroughs and three passes, allowing Zhou Lin to find the opportunity and cheated Lewis, free throw opportunity.
Zhou Lin's two free throws also helped the team break the temporary scoring shortage.
"Yes, playing like this, Zhou Lin is still a young and mature player."
After coming back, Sharad Lewis of the Orlando Magic finally missed the first shot. The Arab League, who made two consecutive mid-range shots, was a little helpless. This round, the Arab League also raised a lot.
After Emeka Okafor got the rebound, he gave it to Zhou Lin. Zhou Lin quickly pushed the fast break and went to the basket for a dunk.
The bobcats who stabilized their mood once again played a smooth offense. After Zhou Lin scored four points in a row, Brandon Roy and Redmond Felton's conduction from the outside attracted double-teams and gave Yi Jianlian who cut inside a good one. With no chance, Yi Jianlian broke through for a layup and reached 2+1.
The scores of the two teams came to the same starting line again.
However, at 7 minutes and 12 seconds into the game, Zhou Lin's blocking of Pietrus was whistled for a shooting foul by the on-duty referee, which made Zhou Lin and the head coach Larry Brown very dissatisfied. After complaining a few times, Larry Brown, who had a bad temper because of this, was called a technical foul by the referee.
Zhou Lin not only ended up with two fouls, but also gave the Magic three free throw opportunities in vain, and the opponent also used these three free throw opportunities to gain another chance to lead again.
"This is the home court of the Orlando Magic. The Bobcats must stabilize their emotions, especially the head coach and core players. Don't be affected by the opponent's emotions."
Seeing Zhou Lin walk off the court with an innocent face covered in a towel, Su Qun said helplessly: "They are 1-3 behind now, and they are still playing at home. According to the rules of the world, the referee should take care of it a little bit. , so the Bobcats must adapt to the referee's calls."
"The Bobcats have replaced Vaughn Weaver here. It seems that the wonderful performance in the last game has impressed the head coach Larry Brown."
"The current lineup depends on how Brandon Roy leads these players."
Brandon Roy's touch today is actually mediocre, and it has something to do with Pietrus' defense, but Okafor grabbed an offensive rebound at the basket and scored 2+1, which can be regarded as a relief for the Bobcats The team's current scoring predicament.
The comeback effect in the last game was average. Jamal Nelson came off the bench in the next round, and he forced a three-pointer as soon as he came on the court, but failed to make a hit. This also made Su Qun shout, this is a good friend of the Bobcats.
Just like the performance in the previous game, on the spiritual level, Jamal Nelson encouraged his teammates, but technically and tactically, Jamal Nelson, who has not recovered to 100%, is actually destroying the team's chemical reaction. In the last game, if Jamal Nelson hadn’t come back, maybe the Magic would have really won. After the game, Jamal Nelson, who played 22 minutes, had the lowest efficiency in the Magic. When he was on the court, the team conceded 11 more points, and in this game, if Jamal Nelson were to play like this, perhaps by accident, he would give the Bobcats another hand.
But Jamal Nelson has status in the team. Even if Jamal Nelson's performance is mediocre, but his performance in the first game of his comeback is sluggish, Van Gundy will not directly abandon Jamal Nelson.
And Jamal Nelson seemed to have heard what the Chinese commentator said. In the next round, he made Raymond Felton's offensive foul, which was considered to make up for the previous wave of shots.
The Bobcats fouled five times, and Felton's offensive foul sent Jamal Nelson to the free throw line.
After making two free throws, the Orlando Magic fell behind by 11 points 17-6.
However, Emeka Okafor performed very well in this game. When he returned to the Bobcats, he used a skill package that he hadn't used for some days - mid-range, facing Howard, and making direct shots.
Okafor scored 5 points in a row, and they all faced Howard's strong counterattack, which also made Howard feel very embarrassed. Back to the Magic's offensive round, Warcraft Howard was going to a deep position , Okafor wanted to stop it was too late, in order to stop Howard, Okafor lost his second foul.
Okafor was also substituted earlier than expected. Larry Brown didn't want to make the same mistake in the previous game. Because Okafor was replaced tens of seconds less, Okafor made a big foul Crisis, Larry Brown is going to strictly control the number of fouls committed by Emeka Okafor in this game.
Since the start of this round of the series, Okafor's cumulative personal fouls have reached 18 times, averaging 4.5 times per game, including six fouls in one game, five fouls in one game, four fouls in one game, and three fouls in one game. side pressure.
And although he swore before the game, he missed the first free throw in the opening game.
And the camera also captured Zhou Lin and Okafor chatting, the two of them were commenting on Howard's free throw shot, and they both smiled.
One of two free throws, this is Howard's standard hit rate.
But when Emeka Okafor and Zhou Lin are not on the court at the same time, the Bobcats are indeed not easy to play, especially Brandon Roy, the second offensive core, has a mediocre touch, and the referee is not good. Especially willing to give whistle to the case.
On the contrary, Vaughn Weaver, in such an important game, once again hit a difficult three-pointer. Even Su Qun in the Chinese studio couldn't help saying: "This player is easy to use and has a lot of confidence in shooting. The attitude is also positive. If the Bobcats can stay this summer, a contract of around 120 million is still worth it. The Bobcats will use Mike Dunleavy as the core of the lineup this season, but Dunleavy is a pitcher after all. In fact, it would be more comfortable to play with the main force. After all, Dunleavy's breakthrough threat is not great, and he cannot create offensive opportunities for other players. Vaughn Weaver has breakthrough ability, and, as the second place in 02, Dunleavy, this year After the game, it will be the contract year, and the value of the transaction is not small, that is, the combat power and the expiring contract, many teams need it, and use it to exchange for a better guard, Yu Jia, what do you think?"
Yu Jia smiled and said: "That's what the general manager should do, but Dunleavy's statistics have declined seriously this year. After Roy played, Mike Dunleavy's room to play is too small. Switch to other teams Going, it's a good thing for Dunleavy and the Bobcats."
Su Qun still likes players like Vaughn Weaver.
Of course, if Weaver continues to play like this, the basic salary of 120 million may not be able to sign.
In the first quarter of the game, the Orlando Magic, who are at home, still showed a different mental outlook. Got a full 10 points online.
Walked to the free throw line 14 times, compared to just 5 free throws for the Bobcats and 4 hits.
Of course, this is also the reason why the Bobcats filled up the number of fouls to five times early.
33-23, the Orlando Magic hold a double-digit lead.
In the second quarter of the game, Zhou Lin and Emeka Okafor finally lifted the ban. Players who also committed 2 fouls have only one foul limit in this quarter, whether it is Zhou Lin or Emeka Okafor Fu got his third foul and would be taken down by Larry Brown.
For this reason, the Bobcats did not let Okafor defend Howard at the beginning, but let Emeka Okafor play four.
Partnering with Zhou Lin is the most comfortable moment for Mike Dunleavy, because Zhou Lin can give the ball more comfortably than Raymond Felton.
In fact, although this season was a substitute, the overall playing time of Mike Dunleavy has not been reduced too much, maintaining at 28.2 minutes, which is only 33.2 minutes less than last season's 5 minutes, but this season Mike Dunleavy However, his scoring has dropped from 20.2 points last season to only 13.7 points this season. At the same time, his three-point shooting percentage has also dropped from 41% to 37.5%. In the round, Mike Dunleavy needs to play singles with the ball. As a white athlete, Mike Dunleavy's ability in singles is indeed limited.
Mike Dunleavy suddenly found his touch. Zhou Lin was not selfish at all. He directly passed the ball to Mike Dunleavy four times in a row. Dunleavy hit three of four, a wave of 9-2, and directly stopped Orlando Magic.
Anyway, Van Gundy is like this. If there is a problem with the team's offensive end, he will have fewer timeouts and basically let the players solve it by themselves. But once the player makes a mistake on the defensive end or the opponent makes a move, Van Gundy will Immediately call timeout.
After Cornett Lee directly replaced Jamal Nelson, the Orlando Magic can switch defenses indefinitely. When Nelson was on the court, the 1.8-meter Nelson was replaced in front of Mike Dunleavy. 'It's not enough.
In Orlando, except for Howard on the inside, all of them switched defenses whenever they met, and the effect was really good. After Mike Dunleavy was chased by Cornett Lee for a few times, his shooting really began to fluctuate.
However, although the Orlando Magic regained their sense of defensive urgency, on the offensive end, Warcraft did not seize the opportunity well when facing Emeka Okafor, who was in danger of fouling. Got a good chance at the basket, but they were all interfered by Okafor's long arm.
However, Hedo Turkoglu scored a difficult goal against Zhou Lin's close defense.
In this round of the series, apart from Jamal Nelson who suffered from injuries, Turkoglu is undoubtedly the worst performer among the main players.
Also, in Zhou Lin, who is about the same height as me, younger than me, better physically gifted than me, who is also a supporting striker, but better skilled than me, Hedo Turkoglu was very uncomfortable in the fight. It's the fifth game, and this is Hedo Turkoglu's third three-pointer. You must know that in the last round of the game, Turkoglu basically made about two three-pointers in every game. Three-pointers, now only 14 of 3 three-pointers, not many shots, not many goals.
But Zhou Lin also responded very quickly. He swung Turkoglu from outside the three-point line and went straight in. In the middle distance, Howard was in a position of inconsistency. Grew was also called for a foul.
The Bobcats are undoubtedly the better team in the second quarter. Zhou Lin and Emeka Okafor both controlled their fouls, except for Okafor who received his third when the rotation time was approaching. In addition to two fouls, Zhou Lin controlled the number of fouls in the first half to two.
Then, Cornett Lee missed a three-pointer at the buzzer before the whistle.
Halftime is over.
The Orlando Magic lead the away Charlotte Bobcats 54-50.
The score advantage of 11 points has also been chased to only 4 points.
"Okay, the halftime game is over, the two teams each played a good quarter, and now there is only a 4-point difference. The suspense of the game is still very high."
Su Qun said: "Mike Dunleavy's three three-pointers are really important. In this game, Dunleavy's three-pointers are very accurate. We can give more playing time in the second half. And Vaughn Weaver, this player I also like It’s not just mentioned once, it’s really true that you can score if you dare to shoot, the Bobcats can’t just rely on Zhou Lin and Roy to play, they still need more players to stand up.”
After a short rest, the game continued.
At the beginning of the third quarter, the Orlando Magic suddenly increased their defensive strength. First, they suddenly defended a full-court press, which really worked. They actually forced the Bobcats to come back at the beginning of the game. low-level mistakes.
On the offensive end, the opponent still used Lewis to beat Yi Jianlian. Yi Jianlian was beaten twice in a row and was replaced by Mike Dunleavy.
Even the commentator on the CCTV side was confused by Lewis' steady middle distance like an old dog and didn't know how to explain.
Although Ah Lian and Lewis are both playing the [-]th position now, they are both swing players. Ah Lian is a swinging position from the [-]th position to the [-]th position, while Sharad Lewis is from the [-]th position to the [-]rd position. The swaying, the matchup between the two, Ah Lian was born at a disadvantage.
"Sharad Lewis' game is really a lesson for the UAE."
"Oh, Mike Dunleavy is going to defend Lewis. In this matchup, Dunleavy will suffer a little bit in confrontation, but in terms of scoring ability, Mike Dunleavy also has his own brush. Now Mike Dunleavy's three-pointer The ball is three of six, and there are three consecutive performances, let's see how the Orlando Magic are going to defend against this sharp shooter. The defense against Dunleavy in the first half is to change every time."
Mike Dunleavy was a bit of a disadvantage when he hit the fourth position. Sharad Lewis directly hit Mike Dunleavy in it. The height and weight of the two are actually a bit similar, and they are both thin insiders. They all weigh around 230 pounds, but Mike Dunleavy, who is one inch shorter, is white after all, while Sharad Lewis is black, so Sharad Lewis is better in the interior against explosive power.
It's just that after Mike Dunleavy was hit, he immediately found an opportunity, seized the gap between the opponent's defense, received an assist from his teammates, and scored two points directly.
Back in the other half, Lewis received the ball in the low post again, faced Dunleavy's defense, turned around, broke through with his left hand into the penalty area, and succeeded in a one-armed dunk.
But before Lewis was happy for a few seconds, Mike Dunleavy made his fourth three-pointer of the field!
"Dun Levy feels like he's just getting up with the opponent's Lewis. If you make one, I'll blow one."
"That's still a good deal for the Bobcats. After all, the Bobcats scored three-pointers!"
"If the Bobcats can win this game, Dunleavy must make a big contribution. He is a bit like Vaughn Weaver in the last game. His sudden explosion caught the opponent by surprise."
"16 points, including four three-pointers, the Bobcats are the highest here, and his average scoring in the playoffs is only 12 points."
"Of course, Dunleavy and Weaver are still different. After all, the starting point is different. After all, they are also players who have scored 20+ points in a single season. Now, Dunleavy's three-pointer is gone. The Magic team is going to make a difficult decision. .”
After the Magic requested a timeout, Mike Dunleavy was also praised by the whole team.
"Today's assist is so easy!"
Mike Dunleavy's five sports goals, four of which were passed by Zhou Lin. Zhou Lin did not show his talents. He played less than half a quarter in the third quarter and had 8 assists. His scoring is temporarily But only 9 points.
Of course, Zhou Lin is also happy to see this situation. All players participate in the offense, and he is willing to sacrifice part of his shot rights.
After the timeout ended, the Orlando Magic adopted a defensive approach that strictly guarded against pressing. The defensive end also gave the faster-moving Cornett Lee to restrain Mike Dunleavy, which slightly restrained Mike Dunleavy The consecutive hits of this big sniper.
However, in the next stage, the Bobcats were suddenly harassed by a foul crisis. Raymond Felton, Zhou Lin, and Emeka Okafor suffered consecutive fouls, which also led to a good performance for the Bobcats. The offensive situation was blocked, and Larry Brown, who had already received a technical offender, didn't complain too much. He was also a little worried that he would be sent off the court directly.
At the end of the third quarter, Zhou Lin, as the main scorer of the Bobcats, stood up when his teammates were restrained, singled out Pietrus, passed Turkoglu and Lewis in a row, rushed to the basket, Successful dunk.
Relying on Zhou Lin scoring 6 consecutive points at the end of the third quarter, the Bobcats have stabilized the situation.
In the third quarter, the two sides are in a state of draw.
79-75!
The game entered the most tragic fourth quarter, and at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Okafor received his fifth personal foul because of a rebounding foul, and was forced to be pushed off the court. It's time for the decisive battle to play again.
Without Emeka Okafor, the inside line of the Bobcats became empty. Sharad Lewis, who had already scored 24 points, opened up a variety of mid-range moments when facing Yi Jianlian.
"The United Arab Emirates really can't guard against Lewis! It's really better to use Dunleavy to play the fourth position, or Luke Mbah a Moute can also play the fourth position."
Even though Ah Lian is a Chinese player, it is difficult for Yi Jianlian to guard Lewis from the sidelines, and his reaction and speed are not at the same level.
But at the moment when Larry Brown was about to replace Ah Lian, Ah Lian withstood the pressure and got to a deep position in the interior. Even Howard came to help defend, but Ah Lian still It was by using his height, turning over a jumper, making Lewis' foul and scoring!
This also made Larry Brown call back Luke Mbah a Moute who had gone out to replace Yi Jianlian.
"UA should do that. His body is one size bigger than Lewis. As long as UA has enough confidence, they can still fight."
After the UAE made a penalty and added a free throw.
第四节比赛进行到7分12秒，山猫队依旧以84-88，落后对手4分。
Sharad Lewis finally missed the shot. Yi Jianlian got the rebound and gave it to Zhou Lin. Zhou Lin made the ball very fast, and it was given to Roy who was fast down. Roy did not disappoint Zhou Lin's layup and made a layup. Under the circumstances, Zhou Lin's assists finally came to double digits.
86-88, only 2 points away.
Alston's shot missed, but Howard got the rebound, faced Roy Hibbert under the basket and scored two points.
90-86!
In the next 5 minutes, the point difference between the two teams has been hovering between 2-6 points. The Orlando Magic couldn't open it, and the Bobcats couldn't score.
Emeka Okafor finally made it to the last 2 minutes of the game.
2分02秒，山猫队以99-103落后4分。
Emeka Okafor and Mike Dunleavy were replaced, and Roy Hibbert and Yi Jianlian were ready to play the final decisive moment.
"The point difference is so close, today, there may be overtime again!"
Su Qun said with a smile.
"The Lynx team played overtime games unambiguously, including the reversal of the previous game to win in overtime games. The playoffs are not counted. This season, the Lynx team played a total of 8 overtime games and won 7 of them. It can be seen that the Bobcats team is a big heart, and the more important the moment, the stronger the team."
The Bobcats once again played a small lineup, with Okafor playing five and Mike Dunleavy playing four.
The Orlando Magic saw the opponent's lineup, and Okafor had five fouls on the court. Zhou Lin went to help Okafor defend Howard this round, and he also lost one of his own fouls. The control of the number is not bad, and it is only the fourth time now.
The time to test Howard's free throws has come again. In this game, Howard made 9 of 5 free throws, which is much better than the 23 of 7 in the previous game, but he just passed.
"Howard should have made one of two free throws again! If I remember correctly, Howard's four free throws were 2 of 1 from the field."
The 50% rule has come true again.
Howard missed his first free throw, and Howard was also very annoyed. Although the second free throw was scored, it was still profitable for the Bobcats. After all, Howard had almost reached the position where he had to go in just now.
At 1 minute and 47 seconds, the Bobcats still had a chance to get the score back.
The Bobcats took advantage of their best continuous scoring, and Brandon Roy, who had a poor shooting feeling in this game, hit the ground with a cold arrow from outside the three-point line after receiving a pass from Zhou Lin!
1 minutes and 27 seconds, 102-104!
"Roy, big heart, this game is the first outside the three-point line!"
"The Bobcats' [-]-point shooting is really scary."
"The Magic also want to return one, but unfortunately, this ball should still be given to the inside!"
The Orlando Magic also wanted to return one from the perimeter. The ball went to pitcher JJ Redick. Unfortunately, Redick's shot was obviously too big. After the Bobcats got the rebound, they immediately requested a timeout.
"Coach Larry Brown is still cautious. This goal is very important. As long as you score, you will overtake or equalize!"
Put away the tactical board, the Bobcats players went to the court, if they scored in this round, the momentum of the game will come back.
The tactics still revolve around Zhou Lin.
Zhou Lin and Okafor made a pick-and-roll, and on the other side Mike Dunleavy used Roy's screen to make a back run. Roy attracted two defensive players at the top of the arc, but missed Mike Dunleavy.
Zhou Lin broke through the bottom line and saw Mike Dunleavy!
After Dunleavy received the ball, he raised his hand and shot without any hesitation.
Swish.
Dunleavy's ball made the Amway Center fall into silence.
1分10秒，105-104！山猫队反超1分。
Is it the same as G4?
Leading the whole game, but was overtaken at the last minute.
"How can the Magic miss the most accurate Mike Dunleavy? Coach Larry Brown's tactics are very clear. Zhou Lin, Okafor, Roy, and Dunleavy all have opportunities to make shots. There is no doubt that Mike Dunleavy's Opportunities are the best, if the Magic lose this game, this ball is very important, and it may be lost on this ball.”
"As a veteran, Dunleavy can still play a key role in this critical game. Five three-pointers really stunned the Magic."
Su Qun said with emotion: "We were still discussing the trade of Dunleavy just now."
"Haha, we want to apologize to Dunleavy!"
"The Magic must score in the next round. If they don't score, the Bobcats will play one against time, and the game may be lost."
Stan Van Gundy made it clear during the timeout that Sharad Lewis must be given. In this game, Sharad Lewis scored a game-high 28 points. Whether facing Mike Dunleavy or Yi Jianlian, he played Dislocation advantage.
However, Larry Brown also had an insight into Dafan's arrangement. Although Sharad Lewis received the ball in the end, Raymond Felton's pressure on Alstom, the ball holder, caused Als to pass. It took 14 seconds to give Sharad Lewis, and now the time is not friendly to the lagging side. The less time there is, the greater the pressure on the lagging side.
Mike Dunleavy also chased desperately. Sharad Lewis's shot was not very comfortable, but he finally scored!
"105 draws, [-] points, Sharad Lewis is really big today!"
In 57 seconds, the Bobcats have to hit one, and now the Bobcats must hit the side.
Larry Brown did not choose to timeout, because now there is only one timeout left, which must be saved until the next round.
The ball was still in Zhou Lin's hands. This was almost the same tactic as in the previous round. The difference was that Zhou Lin chose to shoot by himself in this round.
drop!
Although Zhou Lin didn't score, the referee gave the whistle.
"Can this blow too?"
Howard was very dissatisfied, and also annoyed why he stretched out his hand to press down just now.
"Zhou Lin's free throws are still very stable!"
It's just that before Su Qun finished speaking, Zhou Lin missed the first free throw amidst the booing of the audience.
"Zhou Lin, hold on tight!"
Su Qun was in a hurry!
Simply, Zhou Lin hit the second free throw.
106-105!
"If this game is lost, it is likely to be on this free throw,"
As Zhou Lin walked towards the players' bench, he was annoyed that he made one of two free throws.
In 36 seconds, the current Orlando Magic has several options. When they are only 1 point behind, they can choose a fast attack, which can leave an extra chance to attack, or press the time and use up the round time, but in that case , the initiative will be left to the opponent, regardless of whether it is hit or not.
Larry Brown arranged a tight defensive strategy for the players, which also made the Orlando Magic's quick offense go to waste.
It was almost eight seconds before halftime.
The ball was still given to Sharad Lewis who was the most confident in the game.
In this round, the main defense against Lewis was replaced by Zhou Lin. Zhou Lin knew very well that the opponent wanted to hit Lewis.
Lewis almost pressed until the round time ran out before choosing to make a shot!
And Xu Huang from Lewis also lied to Zhou Lin.
The same goes to the free throw line.
Zhou Lin fouled for the fifth time, but it was irrelevant to the game.
"In 14 seconds, if Lewis wants to make two free throws, the Bobcats are really in trouble."
If Lewis made 2 free throws and led by 1 point, the Bobcats should not control the time, because if they can't score, they can still foul.
But Lewis politely returned one to the Bobcats. When Lewis missed the first free throw, the fans in the Amway Center looked the same as Zhou Lin failed to hit the free throw just now. They were all regretful and helpless.
It was also two free throws and one hit!
The Bobcats also used the final timeout here.
"Now it's interesting!"
"The Bobcats have the initiative. As long as they are not intercepted by their opponents, they can shoot the ball under the pressure of time and make it into the game-winning game. If they fail to make the shot, in overtime, Lewis' two free throws can be regarded as making up for Zhou Lin's two free throws." [-] penalty."
The Bobcats are listening to tactics here, and Larry Brown's tactics here are very simple.
"It's a superstar moment, and it's a moment that a lot of players have to deal with."
Because this is the last round.
Now all the defensive strategies of the opponent will be used, and now it is time to use personal ability to solve the problem.
"You decide the ball!"
Larry Brown finished drawing the tactics, and designated Zhou Lin as the first ball-holding option for this ball. In addition, Roy, Mike Dunleavy, and Weaver, all players who performed well in this game, will ambush on the outside as a support!
"Now the Magic should be very clear when they think about it with their toes. The Bobcats will try their best to give the ball to Zhou Lin. The Bobcats should not make mistakes and stabilize their mentality."
Inside the Amway Center, fans chanted 'defense' as the Orlando Magic worked their way through what could be the final round of the season.
As a result of the pressing, the Bobcats had to throw the ball to the backcourt and let Weaver dribble it up. It took Zhou Lin 10 seconds to get rid of it. When he caught the ball, all the audience stood up.
Zhou Lin glanced at the timer, and could not leave more than 1 second to the opponent. This was the most basic attitude.
Zhou Lin made a threat from outside the three-point line, but he rushed to the inside without hesitation, because now 2 points and 3 points are the same, and even winning a foul is okay.
At 1 second, Zhou Lin pulled his hips back. Lewis lost his defensive focus. After Zhou Lin made a shot, the red light came on, and all the fans in the stadium paid attention to the ball.
Swish!
The audience was dead silent, and many fans and players on the bench couldn't help but hide their faces.
The players of the Magic team were all limp and without a trace of strength.
"Zhou Lin, Zhou Lin is the lore! The Charlotte Bobcats eliminated the opponent Orlando Magic 4-1, making it to the Finals for the first time in team history!"
As an away muffler, Zhou Lin was hugged by his teammates after making a signature silence gesture. Even Larry Brown raised his hands high, stood up from the coach's bench, and ran into the field .
The referee watched the last shot and confirmed that the countdown light was on after Zhou Lin made a shot, that is to say, Zhou Lin completed a very beautiful countdown lore!
109-106!
The Charlotte Bobcats won the game.
In this game, although Zhou Lin 'only' scored 24 points, 12 assists and 6 rebounds, he contributed the most exciting lore in the entire series!
Of course, the victory of the game also belongs to the teammates.
In this game, Mike Dunleavy, who stood up from the bench, scored 5 three-pointers and scored 20 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists. Emeka Okafor also had 12 points and 14 rebounds, and he faced In addition, Yi Jianlian also scored 7 points, Raymond Felton scored 12 points, and Brandon Roy scored 17 points in general, but he also scored a critical three-pointer.
"Congratulations, Zhou!"
Warcraft Howard was the first one from the Magic team to congratulate Zhou Lin.
"thank you my friend!"
"You are such a hated and liked guy."
"I treat you to Chinese food during the offseason!"
Zhou Lin patted Howard's chest and smiled, "It's time to restore friendship."
Other Magic players also came up to hug Zhou Lin.
"You're the best big man I've ever seen, and you deserve this win."
Although somewhat reluctant, Lewis still expressed his congratulations to Zhou Lin.
In this game, Sharad Lewis scored 17 of 10 and contributed a team-high 31 points. He also had 7 rebounds and 5 assists. Warcraft Howard scored 21 points, 15 rebounds and 3 blocks, ranking first among other players. The first starter, Mike Pietrus, scored 18 points...
According to the usual practice, Zhou Lin was still the first to be interviewed by the Chinese media, and it was still Duan Ran's interview.
"This year the team is supposed to win. We prepared for a long time, and we also encountered some problems, such as trades and injuries. Fortunately, we maintained the lineup until the playoffs. Although Roy was injured, but It's nothing serious, and it's a very lucky place."
"..."
"In addition, this is not a game that I can win alone. Roy, Dunleavy, and the United Arab Emirates, Okafor, Weaver who stood up on the bench, I heard that the domestic fans gave him a waifu for the king of the bat. No. It was very appropriate, we fought ball by ball and we won the game."
"What about the finals, what are your expectations?"
"It's still too far away."
"Then which team are you more optimistic about?"
"Of course it is best for us to play against Denver, but among the two teams, the Lakers with Gasol and Kobe are undoubtedly stronger. If we meet, we can only say that we will play one game after another."
"Thank you Zhou Lin, next, let's invite Ah Lian to talk..."
At the end of the game, the Charlotte Bobcats won the Eastern Conference championship trophy away.
Regardless of whether it was in the locker room of the away game, the team celebrated wantonly. Wearing the hat and T-shirt of the Eastern Conference champion, each player opened champagne and sprayed it while drinking.
Among them, Okafor and Felton also danced the champagne dance, and finally pulled Zhou Lin and Yi Jianlian to join them. In the end, all the players of the team were in the champagne-scented room, accompanied by music, and the crowd danced wildly. It's okay to twist, who cares, just be happy anyway.
Coach Larry Brown on the side was smoking a cigar, took off his suit, and participated in it.
In his first season with the Charlotte Bobcats, he won the Eastern Conference Championship. Regardless of the finals, for him, this is a huge success...
