This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 340 The winning streak ends!

Zhou Lin began to feel the pain of LeBron James when he played in the Finals against the San Antonio Spurs.

Halfway through the road trip, it can be said that the Bobcats players are all in a period of fatigue at the moment.

"We have every chance to make history, come on, my boys!"

If this is not the match to tie the history of nine consecutive victories, maybe Larry Brown will not be so competitive. Everyone will have some sustenance to create a new history, and once this wins, pack up the weak car After the city's team, the Bobcats will make new history.

"The Bobcats are a team that is very good at playing in the third quarter. In the second half of the game, maybe we can see the Bobcats blowing the horn of counterattack."

In the first few games in the West, the Bobcats did not play so easily, but once in the third quarter, the young Charlotte Bobcats can always catch some opportunities to catch up or even overtake the score.

As expected, at the beginning of the second half, the Bobcats launched a swift counterattack. The first to stand up was David Lee. When facing DeJuan Blair, David Lee first He scored with a left-handed layup, and then made a long two-pointer from the bottom corner.

As the team's third leading scorer, David Lee averaged 17.9 points per game this season. No less than 11 points, and the shooting percentage has also dropped seriously. It can be said that David Lee's offensive ability is actually relatively average, and he cannot bear the responsibility of leading the way.

But this year, David Lee is facing Blair, who just turned 20 years old. He is the second-round pick that the Spurs just got in the draft. He is 201cm tall and weighs 120kg. He is a short and stocky insider. In terms of matchup, both experience and footwork are at a disadvantage, so in the second half, David Lee frequently scored points on him.

There is no big problem with Blair's top man, but once the defensive object moves to play, and if he shoots from the outside, he will obviously struggle.

The sudden emergence of David Lee can be said to have relieved the pressure on Zhou Lin to a great extent.

And Yi Jianlian also made some gains from the outside. Duncan failed to defend, and Yi Jianlian directly shot a three-pointer.

On the San Antonio Spurs side, it feels cold.

After a wave of 7-0 rhythm, Popovich quickly called the first timeout to curb the counterattack momentum of the Charlotte Bobcats.

"This is the terrible thing about the Charlotte Bobcats. If Zhou Lin alone scores, then this team will not be able to reach the number one in the league."

"The game is far from over."

CCTV's commentary here is also optimistic about the Bobcats' game progress.

Popovich quickly replaced the veteran Mike Finley. As a born in 1973, Mike Finley is already 36 years old, but as a functional player, Mike Finley is still able to play. With his remaining heat, he averaged close to 10 points per game in the Spurs last season.

In fact, his defensive ability is also very average, but Blair's side was too strong by David Lee, so he replaced the veteran to try.

And Mike Finley also contributed the microwave-like ability that a veteran should have, hitting three-pointers as soon as he came up.

And when he was facing David Lee, who was much younger than him, he also used his footsteps to stick tightly, and didn't give the opponent too many good opportunities.

On Tim Duncan's side, although the offensive state has declined, he has given several good support balls in a row, including one of Tony Parker and Richard Jefferson.

Fortunately, the Charlotte Bobcats also continued their firepower. Brandon Roy singled out Bogans, causing two fouls in a row and four free throws in a row. Bogans fouled four times , directly replaced by Ginobili.

The GDP fit together again, but the touch of Ginobili who just came up is really average, and the two three-pointers with sudden cold arrows from the outside line all came out of the frame.

The Charlotte Bobcats also failed to make good use of these few rounds. Zhou Lin's shooting percentage dropped. In this game, Richard Jefferson was basically obsessed with Zhou Lin. His own offensive touch is a mess, but this move still has the effect of limiting Zhou Lin to a certain extent.

In the third quarter of the game, the shooting percentages of both sides were not high, and the Charlotte Bobcats expected by the commentator to play the best counterattack in the third quarter did not come.

At the end of the third quarter, 82-67, the game was tied in this quarter, and the Charlotte Bobcats entered the fourth quarter with a 15-point disadvantage.

Entering the fourth quarter with a 15-point disadvantage, if we are facing other teams, there may be many opportunities, because the opponent will make mistakes, but what kind of team is the Spurs? A team engraved in the bones, a master team with rhythmic operation, it is difficult to turn the score over!
In fact, at this moment, Larry Brown wants to give up. Eight consecutive victories, back-to-back away games against strong opponents in the West, lose this game, no one will say anything, even the most critical media can accept the Bobcats' failure However, for the Spurs, who only play at most two matches a year, unless it is a small probability of meeting in the finals, the relationship between the two sides will be innocuous.

However, Zhou Lin did not choose to give up. He glanced at it, and Larry Brown said, "Let's try again, even though we didn't perform very well in the first three quarters."

Of course, even if it is difficult to win, you still have to try.

At this moment, there is no need to raise the white flag.

What Larry Brown originally wanted to say was, you go up and try to attack a few, if you really can't, you can choose to give up strategically, but in the end he still didn't say these words, and patted Zhou Lin shoulder, Larry Brown said: "Go and fight, kid."

The fourth quarter, let's play!
In the first round, Zhou Lin chose to rush to the basket, but faced with the front and back attack, Zhou Lin's pass made a mistake. In this game, the San Antonio Spurs paid great attention to defending Zhou Lin's pass. So far, Zhou Lin's assists have remained at zero.

However, after Zhou Lin made a mistake, he immediately chose to fight back on the spot. Both he and Ginobili kept the basketball tightly. In the end, the referee chose the relatively neutral penalty of scrimmage.

"Zhou Lin's hard work is still very strong. This is not like an ordinary regular season game at all. On the contrary, it is a bit like the concept of the playoffs or even the finals. You must know that the Bobcats are currently behind. 15 points!"

"Good shot! Zhou Lin helped the Bobcats get the ball back, Brandon Roy, three-pointer from the outside! Here comes Roy's three-pointer. If Zhou Lin is the general who charged the Bobcats in front, then Brandon Roy is definitely the assassin hidden in the dark world. I vaguely remember that in the last game, after relying on Brandon Roy's three-pointer to tie the score, Zhou Lin's The final lore, if the Charlotte Bobcats want to become invincible, then the performance of Zhou Lin and Brandon Roy can be said to be indispensable, and we also hope to see Roy have such a performance .”

82-69, the difference between the two sides was still 13 points. Zhou Lin used his own hard work to get the ball back just now. Not over!
But in retrospect, Tim Duncan sapped the Bobcats again with an impersonal corner shot that gave the San Antonio Spurs two points.

"Now if the Bobcats want to get the score back, they must at least play a climax. You score and I score. In this situation, the San Antonio Spurs, which have a 14-point lead, can basically finish the game with a rhythm."

"Hit the pass point!"

The Bobcats also know how to defend the San Antonio Spurs, just like the Mavericks defended the Bobcats before, strangling the passing point of the opposite side, making them unable to start in the positional battle, and now the San Antonio Spurs, Tony. Parker is not there. Roger Mason, a combo guard, is in charge of the ball first.

Holiday and Zhou Lin's double-teaming soon took effect. Mason made two turnovers in qualifying, and the Bobcats made one extra.

Coupled with a false attack by Blair in the interior, the Bobcats played a 7-2 spurt, narrowing the point difference to within 10 points.

Popovich called a timeout. This team, which won eight consecutive victories at the beginning of the season, did not rely on luck, but something really happened. You must know that this is the fourth quarter of their back-to-back games!
"Don't relax, pay attention to the timing of the pass, don't give the opponent too good a chance to cut off the opponent's connection."

Popovich was not satisfied with the performance of his disciples, even though he still led by 9 points, even though his opponent was the number one in the league.

Tony. Parker immediately replaced Mason debut, now need Tony. Parker with his speed, his rhythm to lead the rhythm of the San Antonio Spurs.

After returning, Tony Parker made a mid-range shot and stabilized the morale of the San Antonio Spurs.

But at this moment, Brandon Roy, another twin star of the Charlotte Bobcats, started a scoring performance. First, he faced Tim Duncan and scored two points with a drawbar layup from the baseline. Bogans' defense, one-stop to the basket, a successful throw, and then another three-pointer into the frame!

In the fourth quarter, Roy had reached 10 points.

With 2 minutes and 23 seconds left in the fourth quarter, the Bobcats were already 91-96 very close.

The feeling of being chased and spanked by young people is very uncomfortable. Just imagine, if the Bobcats hadn't experienced the last wrestling battle with the Mavericks in this game, or if this game was not back-to-back, maybe the old and hot The San Antonio Spurs really have a chance to be beaten to the ground by such a swift and fierce attack from the opponent!

On Popovich's side, he immediately called a timeout arrangement.

After returning to the court, Tony Parker hit a three-pointer that he is not particularly good at, helping the team stabilize the score.

99-91, the San Antonio Spurs took an 8-point lead.

There are 2 minutes and 06 seconds left in the time. If the Charlotte Bobcats can't score any more, and then the Spurs hit one, then the suspense of the game is basically broken.

The Bobcats continued to give the ball to Brandon Roy. In this quarter, he had the best touch. Roy was also eager to chase points. Facing the opponent's defense, it was unreasonable to pull a ball directly. The three-pointer finally came out of the frame. I really wanted to replace it with Tony Parker's three-pointer, but I was obviously a little anxious.

And at this moment, a yellow figure came out.

Zhou Lin!

Go for the rebound!

Between two players who are over 7 feet tall, Zhou Lin grabbed the rebound.

Tim Duncan made a foul and Zhou Lin made two free throws.

99-93, the Bobcats will continue to suspense.

Duncan failed to hit the inside hook, and I was very annoyed, and the Bobcats had a chance to further close the score. Unfortunately, Duncan made up for it defensively and blocked David Lee's layup .

Looking back, Ginobili's breakthrough won two free throws and one of two free throws, helping the Spurs break through [-] points.

1 minute and 12 seconds left.

With the help of the screen, Zhou Lin came out to catch the ball and shoot, and hit a three-pointer, refreshing his personal score to 39 points.

100-96, the remaining time is within 1 minute.

time of 57 seconds.

The Spurs are steadily taking time, as long as the ball is shot, the game is basically over.

The ball was still given to Mr. Big Fundamental Skills, who was the pivot in the interior, and he got Tony Parker's mid-range shot. At the moment the red light turned on, the ball scored.

All the fans cheered.

Number one in the league, about to be taken by them!

At the time of 33, it is necessary to chase 7 points. Although this kind of thing has happened in the history of the Spurs, the probability is extremely small.

However, Brandon Roy's third three-pointer from the Charlotte Bobcats shocked the Spurs into a cold sweat.

And this time the Bobcats took less than 6 seconds.

In 27 seconds, the Bobcats trailed by 4 points, and the key point is that the double-teaming of Roy and Zhou Lin made Parker's mistake!
The Bobcats had another opportunity to catch up with the score, but it was a pity that Roy was given a three-pointer, and the Bobcats could only foul.

And Kenobili made two free throws this time, which can be regarded as stabilizing the situation for the team.

The Bobcats attempted a [-]-pointer here and missed.

The Spurs pressed time and ran out of time.

102-96.

The Bobcats had their first loss of the season.

However, in this game, the Bobcats also showed extremely strong resilience.

In this campaign, Tony Parker contributed a Spurs-high 21 points, Tim Duncan had 19 points and 13 rebounds, and Ginobili had 15 points and 5 assists.

山猫队这边，球队双子星均砍下30+，周林砍下41分8篮板2助攻，布兰登.罗伊三分球9中5，砍下31分5篮板5助攻。

"A great game."

Tim Duncan hugged Zhou Lindao: "You are on the road to becoming a superstar."
