This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 374
On May 5th, the Time Warner Center Arena was full of voices again. The second round of the Eastern Conference is about to start. The Charlotte Bobcats and the Orlando Magic drew 8-1 in the first two games. In the first game, Charlotte The Bobcats lacked two generals, Chuck Hayes and Kyle Lowry, and in the second game, Dwight Howard was sent off in the first quarter.

In the third game, the Charlotte Bobcats had a lot of happy events. The head star Zhou Lin successfully proposed in the castle. Team fans are waiting for the Bobcats players to shine at home.

Dwight Howard escaped the league's suspension and was still able to play in the third game. This was also a game where the two teams were full of players. Shaking face with reporters, but it is conceivable that Howard will definitely want to prove himself in this game.

However, before the game, Howard still came over to express his congratulations to Zhou Lin. Of course, he was still a little bit puzzled.

In Howard's view, marriage is a cage, so Howard has never made too much commitment to the women he was with, even if he has many children, but he still doesn't talk about marriage.

Of course, a marriage proposal is not the same as a wedding ceremony or some kind of contractual relationship. There are many NBA players who choose to break up after the proposal. You must know that the salary of an NBA star can be regarded as the top of the pyramid. Once married , it is bound to divide the general property, which is probably the reason why many NBA stars have no substantive marriage relationship, but although Zhou Lin lives in the United States, he has always been influenced by Chinese culture, and he is still conservative in his bones And traditionally, to promise or even marry a girl he likes, he thinks it is a matter of course.

And the scenes of the scene were constantly shown to Misha who was wearing a huge diamond ring. Of course, another reason was that Taylor Swift also came to the scene, right next to Misha, when the camera caught his At that time, she smiled and pointed at Misha, then grabbed Misha's hand wearing the diamond ring, and waved at the camera lens.

Both the American media and the Chinese media have become people who eat melons. Even in the interview before the game, Yang Yi jokingly said that it is not a problem to have a child with an American chick, and to be a Chinese or an American citizen in the future. Need to think, Zhou Lin gave the answer easily, it is naturally Chinese nationality.

The topics before the game were all focused on Zhou Lin, and there was even less discussion about the game.

However, after the players warmed up and the referee blew his whistle again, the two teams still entered a state of combat readiness very quickly.

Although Kyle Lowry made his comeback, Larry Brown still gave Zhu Holiday the starting lineup, which can be regarded as a reward for Holiday's performance in the last game. Some scored four three-pointers from the outside. Holiday's state after entering the playoffs was even better than in the regular season.

The lineups of the two sides remained almost unchanged. What changed was that Matt Barnes was removed from the starting lineup, and Michael Pietrus entered the starting lineup. Pietrus, known as the French Jordan, has always been defensive He is also known for his good physical fitness. Although he is shorter than Barnes, his enthusiasm and ability on the defensive end are still good. In fact, not only in the NBA, but also in the French national team, Pietrus often needs Take on the task of defending the opposing team's vanguard.

The lineup of the Bobcats was a little unexpected, and the language of the camera quickly told the story. The scene showed Chuck Hayes on the bench wearing black braces. In the last battle, it can be said that the Yess contributed a lot. He used three teeth to replace Warcraft Howard, which also threw the Magic's tactics into chaos.

Of course, this can be regarded as a practice. The head coach is not very good at changing the main lineup that wins the game, and Hayes and Kyle Lowry are not the most core players in the Bobcats. Pressing on the bench is also excusable.

In this game, Lowry and Hayes are very likely to debut very early.

jump ball!Game start!
Roy Hibbert made a rare jump from Howard to the possession of the ball. The Magic, wearing blue jerseys, had a strong sense of pressure on the ball holder. Holiday almost lost the ball, but it was a mistake. The in-and-out error gave Roy an open chance on one side. Roy broke through the inside, made a small hit, and faced Lewis to complete the throw, and the home team opened the scoring.

The Magic team, as always, tried to shoot from the outside. Pietrus hit the first shot. This season, Pietrus's three-pointers reached an astonishing 45.9%, which is even higher than the total shooting percentage. Of course, this is also Because the sample is relatively small, after all, Pietrus' total score is only 8.4 points. If the conceptualization comes earlier, then Pietrus is also a 3D swingman.

On Zhou Lin's side, the "care" for Pietrus is obviously not enough. When Howard is around, the Bobcats always subconsciously help defend the inside.

The Bobcats still want to attack Zhou Lin well today. Although Pietrus is ten centimeters shorter than Zhou Lin, it is like Hayes defending Howard. Zhou Lin's attack is not so easy , Zhou Lin's shot was also slightly off.

Howard took off the rebound, and the Magic quickly counterattacked, and Howard, who was full of energy, also ran.

If the Bobcats are the twin towers of Yi Jianlian and Roy Hibbert, then playing fast is definitely beneficial to the Orlando Magic. After all, compared to running and physical fitness, neither Yi Jianlian nor Hibbert is Howard's opponent.

It's a pity that the Magic also made mistakes in their busy schedule. Nelson's long pass was too far, and Lewis failed to catch it and made a mistake.

But for the Bobcats, Holiday also made a pass error under Nelson's harassment.

After the three-day break, the two teams seemed a little over-excited and made mistakes in a row. Moreover, the two teams that were good at shooting three-pointers also had a head-to-head comparison in the first half of the first quarter. If you make a mistake, I will make another mistake. If you fail to make a shot, neither will I.

The first to calm down was the Orlando Magic. Stan Van Gundy couldn't help calling the first timeout, and then replaced Jamal Nelson with White Chocolate Jason Williams.

This Nelson wearing Howard, doing useless bombardment, is simply wasting Howard's energy.

And when, the gorgeous white chocolate, the one-man passer and nine-man panic point guard, transformed into a stable guard trusted by the coach, and the effect was indeed better than Nelson's. A practical breakthrough to score the ball to Carter in the bottom corner, and then Carter made a breakthrough and made a half-stop, helping the Magic to stabilize the situation.

Then it was time for the performance of the Magic. Under the tandem of Jason Williams, Warcraft succeeded in eating cakes in the paint twice, a 6-0 spurt, which also made Larry Brown very dissatisfied. Called a timeout.

After the timeout ended, Larry Brown was the first to replace Chuck Hayes as a substitute. Interestingly, after the timeout ended, Howard consciously glanced at the Bobcats and saw Hayes coming up Afterwards, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, why did this short, short, stumpy guy come again!
And the camera at the scene is also divided into two halves, with Howard on one side and Hayes on the other.

Hayes, for his part, put the braces in his mouth, and he didn't want to lose three more teeth, even though playing with braces wasn't that comfortable.

"Hey, Dwight, don't be dazed, it's me, you read that right."

Hayes walked over and stood with Howard as horns, and he was still facing Howard.

"Stop trying to provoke me with childish means."

Howard pouted: "You can't defend me!"

After Zhou Lin missed several shots in the opening game, he finally started to give up mid-range and long-range shots. Of course, because of Roy Hibbert's end, the space inside the paint could be opened up, and Yi Jianlian was in ambush to the sweet spot. bit over there.

Pietrus is still a little too short, as long as Zhou Lin can squeeze out half of his body to make a shot, it will be difficult for Pietrus to influence Zhou Lin.

Zhou Lin made a fallback jumper, which was also Zhou Lin's first sports goal.

"Nice steps."

Roy came up and patted Zhou Lin's hand and said, "It's time for us to get back a little touch."

Bobcats for Hayes is to defend, and Jason. Williams debut, is to attack.

The pick-and-roll of the Orlando Magic was definitely at an upper-lower level in the league last season. Jamal Nelson has never been a point guard who reads the defense on the mountain and gives just the right pass. Jason Williams, personally The offensive ability is indeed a bit inferior. After all, the age is also there. The 34-year-old White Chocolate's quick cut layup has almost disappeared. Facing the inside of most teams, Williams played big. The effect may not be very good, Williams' threat is still in his passing ability.

He who can pass the exquisite pass that has been recorded in the annals of history, as long as he wants to pass the ball well, he can definitely do it.

Although there are many behind Paul, Nash, Kidd, and Deron, the first four are all masters of pick-and-roll passes, and they have fed countless insiders.

But White Chocolate is currently the best pick-and-roll player on the Magic team.

Warcraft is under attack, Hayes is at the bottom, Yi Jianlian is at the top, making Howard very awkward. In previous seasons, whenever this situation happened, someone would come to pick and roll with Warcraft, and that person was often Turkog Lu, not Jamal Nelson, but now that Turkoglu is gone, White Chocolate can only take on the role of playing the pick-and-roll, sorting out the offense and activating the Warcraft state.

White Chocolate is really not very good at playing against that kind of mobile insider, but with Howard in a pick-and-roll, White Chocolate is facing Chuck Hayes, a short and slow insider who can't guard the guard Shooting also can't prevent sensitive guards from cutting inside. With a height of 198cm, his frame protection threat is almost unqualified.

As long as the Warcraft pick-and-roll is strong enough, Jason Williams has the confidence to go to the meeting alone.

For this sudden pick-and-roll cooperation, the Bobcats thought of switching defenses, but this time, Hayes really suffered, and was passed by the old white chocolate like a wooden stake.

Yes, the Magic have found a solution to Hayes.

In the final analysis, Hayes' talent is average, and he can indeed be used as a wizard in some situations, but it is also a fact that he is easy to be targeted when playing inside with such a height.

In the next round, Yi Jianlian helped Hayes make up a hand. White Chocolate's pass passed through the gap between the two and passed to Howard. Wreak havoc!
"Look, Chuck, you're so short you can't even jump up to my knees."

Howard finally found a chance to taunt Hayes well, and compared his height with his hands to a very short height.

"It seems that the Magic team will watch the video carefully. This move uses one's strengths to attack the other's weaknesses. The perfect power is one inch long and one inch strong. The appearance of white chocolate covers the bottom of the monster. Insufficient ability, unable to gain the upper hand in the wrestling with Hayes, and the problem of single offensive skills, at the same time inspired Warcraft's strong coverage of airspace rights."

"After all, this is a long series, and it's all a win-or-go game. Any flaws you have will be magnified by your opponent without limit. What you have to do is to cover up your shortcomings and motivate yourself. strengths."

"The Lynx team is going to call a timeout, and the point difference is almost double digits!"

21-13, the Charlotte Bobcats couldn't find a way to open the situation. Larry Brown began to deploy troops and let Lowry and Mbah a Moute replace Holiday and Roy.

"Defend Jason, give him more confrontation, and remember, if you have the opportunity, you must single him out, whether it's scoring or causing damage!" Larry Brown also gave Lowry his advice.

And Mbah a Moute falling to the second position will make Zhou Lin a little more relaxed on the defensive end. After all, he is the glue of the team's defensive end, and Mbah a Moute has a good defense and can supplement both inside and outside. Replacing Zhou Lin's role of zone defense glue is also a kind of liberation. Of course, this lineup needs Lowry to score more points. After all, only Zhou Lin can score among the rest.

Jason Williams has never been good at confrontation, even when he was young, but now Kyle Lowry is such a role with strong confrontation among guards. As soon as he comes up, he directly pushes against Williams, left Side mid-range hit.
