This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 357 Difficult Victory!

In this contest at the Time Warner Arena, the Bobcats are at home after all, and the whistle is more or less in favor of the Bobcats. After the third quarter, Luol Deng and Joakim North of the Chicago Bulls Ah received four fouls respectively. These two brothers are the right-hand men of Derrick Rose. Luol Deng is the only player in this Chicago Bulls team with good abilities on both ends of the amplifier. Joakim Noah, It is the inside barrier and rebound protection of the Chicago Bulls. In the first three quarters, they encountered foul threats that came suddenly at different times. If Derrick Rose and Kurt Hinrich are slightly worse today, then The Bobcats may have completed the go-ahead as early as the third quarter.

In the fourth quarter, Luol Deng and Joakim Noah reappeared. As long as they didn't get their fifth foul early in the fourth quarter, they could get through this period of foul crisis.

However, how could the Bobcats ignore the time period of the foul crisis between these two, especially Zhou Lin. Zhou Lin directly asked for the ball on the low and weak side. Lin was about to eat his opponent raw, Tai Jibson came over to defend, Zhou Lin could only give it to Yi Jianlian on the other side first.

After Ah Lian followed up, he wanted to make a dunk across Joakim Noah, but when the ball was kicked off, Hinrich on one side quickly knifed it down, and the players on both sides immediately scrambled for the floor ball. , the referee whistled for a scrimmage.

And the opponents in the competition were Kyle Lowry and Ty Gibson, the shortest players on the field. Taj Gibson, who has a 20cm height advantage, got the ball without any suspense. It means that the Bobcats made another mistake.

"The resilience of the Chicago Bulls is really strong. Probably no one thought that the Bobcats would be forced to this level."

"The key is that the Bobcats' shooting is not completely wide open. The team's twin stars Roy and Zhou Lin combined to make 15 of 3 three-pointers, which is much worse than in the regular season."

The Lynx team's personal talent and the team's paper strength completely crush their opponents. However, a basketball game is not determined solely by talent and paper strength. It must be the playoff level. Team, who is better than who?

Especially the Chicago Bulls and Charlotte Bobcats are extremely young teams.

For the Chicago Bulls, Hinrich once again assisted Joakim Noah, and when he cut in, Noah also caused a foul by Hayes.

The penalty is also hit.

83-79, the point difference widened a bit.

Joakim Noah's performance today is not even inferior to Derrick Rose. He has scored 17 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks. His performance can be called almighty.

On the other hand, Yi Jianlian was much inferior in this game.

Although it was the first game, Yi Jianlian only had 27 points, 5 rebounds and 6 block after playing 1 minutes.

Zhou Lin's shooting touch is average, like other players, the offensive efficiency is not high, the Chicago Bulls began to double-team Zhou Lin, and Luol Deng is also constantly trying to observe the referee's whistle scale, Zhou Lin was actually not particularly comfortable with the defensive line between him and Ty Gibson.

Moreover, the house leak happened to be raining all night. At this critical moment of biting, Brandon Roy hit the opponent's defensive player with his nose after a breakthrough. The bleeding has stopped.

In fact, in these few games, Brandon Roy played a bit uncomfortable, even though he also scored 30+ points in the last game.

Hinrich's candy-style winding still gives Brandon Roy a good defensive effect.

Although this is not a serious injury, the referee does not allow the player to play again when he is already bleeding.

And taking advantage of this opportunity, the Chicago Bulls double-teamed Zhou Lin even more unscrupulously. During these time periods before Roy stopped the bleeding, the Chicago Bulls had every chance to widen the point difference.

However, Kyle Lowry of the Charlotte Bobcats made a contribution. After the Bobcats missed many shots, Kyle Lowry made his first three-pointer of the game and the first The Charlotte Bobcats' first three-pointer in the fourth quarter stopped the bleeding for the Bobcats in a timely manner.

And in the process of Derrick Rose's speeding breakthrough, Lowry judged Derrick Rose's marching point very well, and made Derek Rose an offensive foul on the defensive end.

The Bobcats have stabilized the situation and did not continue to let the point difference continue to widen.

The time has also slowly entered within 8 minutes of the countdown. The two players with 4 fouls on the Chicago Bulls side can also do some strong confrontation actions appropriately. Joakim Noah is undoubtedly very active today. Yes, followed up, scored a second rebound, and even had a high jumper. Neither Yi Jianlian nor Roy Hibbert defended well, but Chuck Hayes was barely able to defend.

And after Joakim Noah blocked David Lee's offense, after follow-up, A Lian did not go up beyond the three-point line, Joakim Noah did not have a three-pointer, the number of shots taken in the regular season this season There were only 4 of them, and none of them entered, but today's Noah is completely happy.

Of course, when Noah met Yi Jianlian, he would have a more or less comparative mentality. It must be said that he was selected by the Eagles as a top pick at the beginning, while Noah in the same position slipped to ninth. Picked by the Chicago Bulls.

Joakim Noah, who averaged 10.7 points, 11 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game this season, has actually become one of the league's high-quality centers.

In other words, he is already the best center player among rookies in this field.

Compared with the rookies in the same class, Oden was injured and fell, and Yi Jianlian was average. The only one who can compare with him is Al Horford of the Thunder, who was also his inside partner at Florida State University.

Al Horford, who averaged 16.3 points, 8.3 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game this season, is comparable to Joakim Noah in terms of statistics, but Noah is strong in his defense, and his slightly rough appearance El Horford can't match his delicate coping ability.

The field data is 22 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks.

If you don't say that this person is Joakim Noah, many people will probably think that this is the statistic scored by Dwight Howard or Yao Ming.

And there are still more than 5 minutes before the end of the game!

Joakim Noah is likely to take those numbers to another level.

102-92!

And after Noah made this three-pointer, the Chicago Bulls finally worked hard to open the point difference to 10 points. A double-digit point difference will be a threshold for any basketball game.

The young Chicago team made the fans of Time Warner Arena more or less look a little bit over.

Fortunately, at 5 minutes and 32 seconds, Brandon Roy was able to return to the court to play again after returning to the locker room for a hemostasis check.

Larry Brown rearranged his tactics. With Zhou Lin not feeling well, Brandon Roy needs to enter the attack mode more often. Brandon Roy, who took 13 shots in this game, currently hits Among them, 5 goals scored 14 points and 5 rebounds.

Back on the court, the Charlotte Bobcats began to find cover for Brandon Roy, help him hang the cover, and get rid of Hinrich, the brown sugar.

On Roy's side, the touch was okay. In the first round of his return, Yi Jianlian's single-block screen and Roy's high throw after cutting in helped the Bobcats score points.

Now the Chicago Bulls are not in such a hurry. Hinrich's ability to control the field is quite strong, and he has found an open Derrick Rose. K. Rose's three-point shooting rate is less than 27%, basically he is not sure, but when there is an open spot, Derrick Rose still has to shoot.

Rose's three-pointer really missed.

The Charlotte Bobcats also breathed a sigh of relief. This three-pointer is really wide open. Joakim Noah, who has never made a three-pointer this season, has made it. With the flow going, it's normal for Derrick Rose to make a shot.

Rose missed the shot, and the Bobcats took the rebound and took the initiative to find Brandon Roy. This time, Roy's breakthrough attracted two players. Zhou Lin played the role of follow-up and directly pulled the bar. The basket hit, helping the home team narrow the point difference to 6 points!
"This is the advantage of having two stars in a team. If you dare to double-team one of them, it will be difficult for you to stop the other one no matter what. Once Roy's side is opened and attracts the defense's attention, then Zhou Lin's side must There will also be opportunities."

In fact, at this point in the game, the Chicago Bulls can still take the lead. On the one hand, the Chicago Bulls are playing really well. The fast-moving Derrick Rose is difficult to defend. The second aspect is that the Bobcats really give a chance. The Bobcats' shooting in this game is too watery.

But once the Bobcats get back to some level, it's going to be a little harder for the Chicago Bulls.

Although the Bobcats only got back 4 points from the last timeout, coach Nagro clearly felt that the Bobcats were about to start, so he quickly came back and arranged a tactic.

Now score first, the opponent's score is irrelevant, and there is still a 6-point lead.

Time is good for the Chicago Bulls.

The Chicago Bulls also implemented Coach Nagro's tactical intentions very well. Tai Gibson got a mid-range opportunity and made a shot.

104-96!

The time has entered within 4 minutes.

It's already a little tight for the Charlotte Bobcats.

It was still Brandon Roy who instigated the offense, reached the inside, and made Joakim Noah's fifth foul.

What is slightly insufficient is that Brandon Roy made 2 of 1 free throws. For the Bobcats, every point is now particularly critical.

Then, the Chicago Bulls tried to do the same to Brandon Roy's goal, but Roy Hibbert blocked Rose's breakthrough.

Insiders like Hibbert, in fact, the more late the game is, the better the effect will be, because everyone is tired, especially the Chicago Bulls, Joakim Noah and Derrick Rose are already in the world It's been over 40 minutes.

And Hibbert's height of 217 plus a wingspan of more than 225, standing under the basket is a huge obstacle.

The Bobcats won the ball and had a chance to continue to close the score, but this time Roy passed the ball to the outside Kyle Lowry. Hinrich judged it and directly intercepted it. A foul was sent. After all, in this quarter, the number of fouls has not reached the critical point, and there is no need for direct free throws.

At 3 minutes and 57 seconds, the Chicago Bulls gave Hinrich an outside line. Hinrich scored 6 three-pointers in 3 shots in this game and got a good chance, but Zhou Lin, who is nearly 2.1 meters tall, suddenly made it out before him In front of him, Hinrich could only feint and shoot into the inside line, but Zhou Lin gently pulled out his backhand and hit the ball to Hinrich's leg.

"The Bobcats' possession of the ball counts as a steal by Zhou Lin!"

Zhou Lin's successful defense gave the Bobcats a chance to get close to the score again.

And Zhou Lin's belated three-pointer finally came!
Three points from the outside line, after getting the ball, Zhou Lin looked at Luol Deng who let him take a step, and Zhou Lin pulled it directly.

After all, time is really running out now.

Zhou Lin made his first three-pointer of the field. Previously, Zhou Lin made 8 of 0 three-pointers, as if he had a demonic disease.

"104-99, Zhou Lin finally made a three-pointer with 3 minutes and 19 seconds left."

And after several offensive misses, Derrick Rose finally made a breakthrough.

Rose's personal score also came to 30+.

106-99!

However, Zhou Lin made another three-pointer.

In the same position, Zhou Lin directly made a three-pointer!

"Have it!"

Even before Zhou Lin made the shot, the commentator seemed to have predicted the end of the ball.

Sure enough, Zhou Lin's three-pointer hit again!

106-102，山猫队在比赛进行到2分34秒的时候，将分差缩小到了4分！
"For a pitcher like Zhou Lin, missing the first 8 shots is an accident, but as long as he keeps shooting, Zhou Lin's total shooting percentage will still come back!"

Zhou Lin made two consecutive three-pointers, and the data was immediately displayed on the spot.

Played 35.2 minutes in this game and scored a game-high 37 points, 7 assists and 9 rebounds. The shooting percentage was still a bit dismal 26 of 11 and 10 of 2 three-pointers. But just looking at the shooting percentage in the second half, it was close to passing. up.

The Bobcats fans at the scene were finally excited. Perhaps many people came to see this kind of heroic moment.

Now the Chicago Bulls, who are chasing after the fiery Bobcats, have also reached a very delicate moment.

The Bulls still tried to let Derrick Rose hit the basket, but Rose didn't have the mid-range distance at the far end, so the Bobcats had another chance to chase points.

Luol Deng didn't dare to let Zhou Lin shoot easily. Zhou Lin faked outside and didn't shoot three-pointers in the third wave. After reaching the inside, Zhou Lin was very clear about what he had to do. Joakim Noah rushed forward, and Noah paid his sixth personal foul and went down to the court with good statistics.

Zhou Lin made two free throws steadily.

106-104, the Chicago Bulls have only a 2-point advantage left.

The Bobcats suddenly flanked Derek Rose, giving Brad Miller a chance on the inside, and the latter hit.

But for the Bobcats, Kyle Lowry hit another crucial three-pointer.

With 1 minute and 23 seconds left in the game, the score was chased to 107-108.

Nagro suspended again, without Joakim Noah for the Chicago Bulls, already very uncomfortable.

The Bobcats are directly flanking Derrick Rose. Hinrich, who has already made three three-pointers, failed to hit the fourth three-pointer that may be the winning one!

Looking back, the Bobcats played very clearly. Without Joakim Noah, the thickness and height of the inside line were not enough. Zhou Lin called Yi Jianlian for a pick-and-roll, easily passed and cut, and Yi Jianlian dunked!

109-108, with 45 seconds left in the game, the Charlotte Bobcats finally completed the go-ahead!

"That's the pace and ability of the Charlotte Bobcats."

Terrifying scoring explosiveness, almost in the blink of an eye, the double-digit point difference was recovered and overtook.

The Chicago Bulls did not choose a timeout here, because Nagro had one timeout left for the last minute.

Derrick Rose's layup was fruitless. In fact, Rose had already gotten rid of Lowry's defense this round, but the height of the inside still had an absolute advantage.

The Bobcats had a chance to kill the game, but Zhou Lin missed a three-pointer.

Nagro used up the last timeout, and Derrick Rose suddenly scored to Luol Deng on the outside. He also had a chance to kill the game, but Luol Deng's shooting was still affected by Zhou Lin and failed to hit. .

After Roy Hibbert got the rebound, he directly gave it to defender Lowry.

Rose took foul tactics and Kyle Lowry made 2 free throws steadily.

111-108, the life of the Chicago Bulls hangs in the balance.

And 3.2 seconds, the Bulls did not pause, Luol Deng tried to send the ball near the midfield, and really let Hinrich find a chance.

It's a pity that Hinrich's three-pointer went out of the frame and the red light was on!
"The Bobcats really gave a chance. Unfortunately, Hinrich failed to seize the opportunity of the game and finally missed the three-pointer that might have tied the game."

"However, it is also because the Chicago Bulls only adopted a 7-man rotation today. The Charlotte Bobcats who played with a 9-man rotation in the end are really incomparable. Even Derrick Rose is the same. After the whole game, I only rested for less than 3 minutes!"

In this game, Zhou Lin scored a quasi triple-double with 39 points, 8 assists and 9 rebounds, although his shooting percentage was mediocre.

Brandon Roy scored 17 points, 6 assists and 4 rebounds.

In addition, Kyle Lowry also has 14 points, 4 assists and 3 rebounds. Two three-pointers are critical.

For the Chicago Bulls, Joakim Noah scored 22 points, 12 rebounds and 3 blocks. Unfortunately, he was sent off at the last minute. Otherwise, the Bobcats would not be able to win this game.

德里克.罗斯本场比赛打了45分21秒，砍下全队最高的32分6助攻，科特.辛里奇，砍下15分5助攻，三分球7中3。

At present, the two teams are 1-1. In the next game, they will move to the home court of the Chicago Bulls, the United Center Arena, for a third round.
