This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 341 The hungry bobcat is going to feed the Lakers!

After an eight-game winning streak, the Charlotte Bobcats lost Game 8 to the San Antonio Spurs and slipped the following game against the Detroit Pistons. The ranking in the East has been caught up by the Boston Celtics, and the opponent is also 2 wins and 11 losses. However, because of the relationship between the winners and losers, the Charlotte Bobcats can still sit in the first position in the East. And in the No. [-] game, they will usher in last year's championship and their opponent in the finals, the powerful Los Angeles Lakers.

Once the Charlotte Bobcats lose the game against the Los Angeles Lakers, they will drop directly to second place in the Eastern Conference, and they will even be surrounded by the Magic.

So the Charlotte Bobcats must end this losing streak at the earliest point in time.

And this last season's finals was staged here, and Staples was packed.

On the way to Los Angeles, Larry Brown made it clear that he didn't want to continue the losing streak. Losing too many games made the team's morale low, and it also put an inexplicable pressure on the coaches themselves.

Of course, there is also good news for the team. The team's starting point guard Raymond Felton, who has rested for four games, is finally back.

The Los Angeles Lakers this season, after losing two games in the early part of the season, have caught up in the follow-up games. Now they have the same record of 8 wins and 3 losses as the Dallas Mavericks, but because they lost to the Dallas Mavericks. Therefore, it is currently ranked second in the West.

It can be said that the current Los Angeles Lakers have completely passed the running-in period, which happens to be in the honeymoon period.

Ke Boss still has a peak tail, and is still one of the sharpest scorers in the league. The cooperation with Gasol is also smooth, and with the addition of this season's Titan Artest, in today's view, compared to Ariza, who went to Houston, has the same combat effectiveness under the same contract, and Artest is stronger.

And Andrew Bynum has gradually matured with age. Although the record is only ranked fourth in the league, the Lakers are still hailed by ESPN as the team with the highest call to win the championship.

The 31-year-old Kobe Bryant is looking forward to winning his 16th O'Brien Cup.

And on almost some important occasions, Staples has never lacked the support of stars. This time, Taylor Swift, who was a candidate for the Grammy Best Newcomer in the past year, also came to Staples.

Including the best diehard of the Lakers, Jack Nicholson, and the still handsome Leonardo DiCaprio, all came to Staples.

"Hey, Zhou, can you give me the jersey after the game is over?"

Taylor Swift, who was two years younger than Zhou Lin and not yet 20 years old, was sitting on the sidelines, wearing a cap and shouting to Zhou Lin: "Hi, you should understand my English."

"Are you calling me?"

When Zhou Lin was warming up, he glanced back and saw Swift staring at him.

Zhou Lin walked near the three-point line to shoot and said, "I'm sorry Taylor, I really want to do this, but it's a pity that you are wearing a Lakers jersey now."

Swift glanced at his No. 24 jersey and said slyly, "That's because you haven't given me your jersey yet."

"Then we can make an exchange."

Zhou Lindao: "I'll give you the jersey, how about you give me a signed album? I want you to be all the albums."

"You're a shrewd fellow, it's a deal!"

Taylor Swift stuck out her tongue at Zhou Lin cutely.

Swift really has an appearance that fits Chinese aesthetics, and he has a model height, and his proportions are also very good. She is only 19 years old and she has become famous very early, and now she is already an American idol.

What Swift doesn't know is that now Zhou Lin's family has all of Swift's albums. Of course, they were bought by Misha. Recently, Misha is crazy about the songs of this young and beautiful singer, and she listens to them every day. After several times, Zhou Lin could hum a few words.

And Christmas is coming, Zhou Lin also wants to prepare a qualified Christmas gift, Swift's full set of autographed albums, she should like it.

This can be regarded as a small episode before the game, but Swift and Zhou Lin are about the same age, and some friendships have really developed in the future.

Kobe was as stern as ever. In Zhou Lin's memory, Kobe didn't show some warm and playful smiles in many official games until the end of his career. That was when Kobe was about to leave the court. Competing for the championship lies in enjoying the mood of the game, and it is obvious that it has not reached that stage yet.

In particular, they will face their imaginary Finals opponent, the Charlotte Bobcats.

The most amazing team this season has won eight consecutive victories at the beginning of the season. If it weren't for a series of away games with strong opponents in the West, I am afraid that the Charlotte Bobcats would easily extend the winning streak to more than 10 games.

Before the game, Zhou Lin and Kobe bumped fists lightly, but neither of them spoke, and there was obvious hostility in their eyes.

This will be a close match!
And no one wants to lose to the imaginary opponent in the finals!

For the Charlotte Bobcats, Raymond Felton is back, and everything else is normal.

Brandon Roy, Zhou Lin, David Lee, Yi Jianlian.

For the Lakers, Derek Fisher, Kobe Bryant, Ron Artest, Paul Gasol, Andrew Bynum.

For the Bobcats, the offensive and defensive are completely weak, and without the inside twin towers that started last season, the suppression of Emeka Okafor and Roy Hibbert, can the weak inside support the inside space? , which is also a question mark.

When the lights came on again, the game officially kicked off.

Andrew Bynum and Yi Jianlian step to the center line to jump the ball.

"Okay, the Bobcats got the first ball."

"The ball was given to Felton. Felton has been absent for 4 games in a row. His comeback in this game is also a bit like a firefighter, and he is facing the old fisher Fisher. From the top Judging from the performance of the season, Fisher is very difficult to mark Felton, and now that Fisher is half a year older, it is still unknown how much energy the 35-year-old Fisher can contribute. of."

The biggest flaw in the Lakers' lineup reserve is undoubtedly the lack of energy in the back line. Derek Fisher is old now, and his defense and offense are very average. Now he only has the playoffs and the NBA Finals. Final experience.

If Zhou Lin remembers correctly, at the end of his career, Derek Fisher had the most playoff games in the history of the league, and his old teammates Kobe and O'Neal would also be severely left behind by him.

In the first round, the Bobcats began to play on Fisher's position. Zhou Lin's pick-and-roll directly made Fisher match up with Zhou Lin. After catching the ball, Gasol had to come down to defend. Zhou Lin hit the ground, and David Lee caught up with his left hand and made a layup!
"My fault, my fault!"

Fisher nodded and said, "I should squeeze through!"

Fisher will be targeted in many games now, and his lack of height can easily expose his problems, unlike Kidd's tall point guards, general pick-and-roll defenses, and even temporarily filling the third position, which is not too disadvantageous .

Of course, less than half a year has passed since the Los Angeles Lakers and Charlotte Bobcats played against each other in the finals, and the degree of familiarity with each other is also extremely deep. Without Hibbert and Okafor, it is undoubtedly difficult for Yi Jianlian to top Bynum. With Gasol's support in place, Bynum directly pushed Yi Jianlian and deducted one.

Bynum's current body seems to be much stronger than last year's finals. Although Yi Jianlian has gained a certain amount of weight, Yi Jianlian's skeleton is a little bit smaller after all, which means that Yi Jianlian The difficulty of hanging meat will be much higher.

In the second round, the Bobcats followed suit and wanted to use Fisher to make a fuss, but Fisher chose to squeeze past at the first time. The moment Zhou Lin expanded, Felton's pass arrived.

Zhou Lin raised his hand and shot, and with a bang, Zhou Lin directly made the first three-pointer of the game.

"This is a good signal for the Bobcats. For the rhythm of the main offense this season, the main player can take the lead in making three-pointers. It is also a good move to improve morale."

As for the Lakers, although they are at home, their shooting skills are average. Looking back, Kobe first made a shot from outside the three-point line. Artest's three-pointer is also a bit outrageous.

Zhou Lin took the rebound without looking for anyone, but went straight down. Artest didn't even have time to chase and defend, and Zhou Lin directly succeeded in dunking.

"Zhou Lin dribbled the ball across the court and dunked the dunk. Probably the Lakers didn't even think about it."

"Players still watch too little video of Eastern Conference teams."

If you take a closer look at the Charlotte Bobcats' ball this year and last season's Bobcats' ball, there are two completely different rhythms. This season, the Bobcats have a terrifying number of rounds. The rhythm is really too fast. The scene of Zhou Lin not waiting for his teammates to solve problems one-stop has appeared many times this season.

Of course, this is also related to the opponent.

It is too difficult to grind the ground with this Lakers team. The opponent's defensive ability, especially the defensive hardness of the striker, has become stronger because of Artest's joining.

In addition, Zhou Lin very much hopes to lead the Bobcats to end their losing streak and win the imaginary finals against the Lakers along the way.

Therefore, Zhou Lin made his efforts especially early in this game.

Going back to the Lakers, Kobe Bryant competed with the young Brandon Roy. After a long period of friction in the low post, Kobe scored the first two points of the game with a turnaround jumper.

But looking back, Brandon Roy was no less impressive, and he directly voted for Kobe on the spot.

Every summer, Roy will practice hard, and he was trained by Kobe last season, and he also learned a lot from Kobe, so Brandon Roy, who has been through the summer, blooms this year.

If the record of the Bobcats is maintained, Brandon Roy has a high probability of being able to enter the All-Star Game, and even enters as a draft player. He must go through the current Eastern Conference, a backcourt player with both strength and fame Well, the only one who can steadily defeat Roy is Dwyane Wade. The other imaginary enemy, although Allen Iverson is still popular, has a feeling of twilight.

The 9-4 start made Zen master Phil Jackson feel a sense of crisis.

They also felt the lynx's desire.

Now the Bobcats are really hungry, so it is the best time to swallow the Lakers.

All four shots were made, whether it was caught weak point, or the defense did not pay attention to the retreat, or the twin stars of Zhou Lin and Roy became more and more powerful, the Lakers did not treat it well before.

Of course, maybe their memories still stay in this summer.

"We need to pay attention to retreating. The opponent is probably the best fast break team in the league, but they have better scoring talents than Phoenix."

The Zen master was still calmly drawing tactics, while the assistant coach beside him was shouting loudly what needs to be paid attention to.

If the top speed of last year's Bobcats was 80 yards, this year's Bobcats can drive to 120 yards!
Back to the positional battle, on the Lakers side, Kobe continued to choose to eat Brandon Roy in the low post fiercely. He needed to teach this junior who was in desperate need of a position.

Yes, I'm still the best shooting guard in the league!

Although Kobe missed the shot, he forcibly took away the backcourt rebound that Roy originally had from Roy's arms.

Then while making a strong attack on the offensive end, he also made Roy's two plus one foul!

This is Kobe, a player who competes with his opponents and himself every moment. If you have any slack, Kobe will punish you.

"It's not time for you to show off!"

With a big wave of Kobe's hand, the Staples people came roaring, standing on the free throw line, Kobe received the voice of MVP shouted by the audience!

"Hey, don't be distracted, let's improve our competitiveness, don't be looked down upon by them."

Zhou Lin patted Roy on the shoulder and said.

"I know."

Brandon Roy looked at Kobe from behind, his eyes glowing with captivating light.

Yes, the era of these old guys should have passed by long ago!
"Brandon, be confident!"

After halftime, Zhou Lin took the initiative to give the ball to Brandon Roy. He was encouraging Roy to compete with Ke Ke.

Roy used a few tentative moves here, but he didn't completely shake Kobe away, but relying on the energy stored in disguise, Roy still rushed into the inside line, but Gasol's long arm was still It interfered with Roy's shot.

The ball bounced out of the frame, but at this moment Zhou Lin caught the slightest chance, and at the same time he got in from the crowd, he caught the ball high and smashed it into the basket!
The hungry Bobcats are going to feed the Lakers!
