This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 390 Conflict and Restraint

Kyle Lowry was replaced by Jrue Holiday to take a rest. With an excellent performance of 13 points and 5 assists, in this game, Kyle Lowry became the best player of the Charlotte Bobcats.

In the first quarter of the game, the feel was average and there were not many offensive opportunities. In the second quarter, Zhou Lin got better shooting opportunities. First, he broke through to the inside and made a throw. A mid-range shot was made.

It is impossible for the Celtics to block Zhou Lin for the entire game. This must also take into account the physical fitness of the veterans of the Celtics. Often the blockade of stars is usually one-on-one. At the beginning of the high-intensity defense, It makes you unable to quickly find the feeling of offense, and the oppressive defense at the last moment prevents you from completing the harvest in the final period well, but the defensive pressure in the second and third quarters tends to drop slightly, especially In the second quarter, we need to relax a little bit in terms of tactics and physical fitness.

Zhou Lin also seized this opportunity, and his touch recovered to a certain extent, but the third foul came too early, which made Zhou Lin helplessly go off the field again.

This was an offensive foul from Kevin Garnett, and after Zhou Lin was called for an offensive foul, Kevin Garnett also slapped his chest hard.

"This is experience. Zhou Lin's touch has just recovered a little bit. When he wanted to carry the banner of offense, but was fouled by such an offense, he was able to continue to sit on the bench and wait and see. Zhou Lin felt more or less There will be some anxiety, but this anxiety was judged by Garnett."

At least Zhou Lin couldn't play in the first half. Once there is a fourth foul, Zhou Lin's situation will be even more difficult.

And for a period of time without a leader, the Charlotte Bobcats ended the first half 49-55 behind by 6 points at the end of the half.

The playoffs are also a process of exploration. Even though Zhou Lin’s opening and closing in the last game scored a new high in this year’s playoffs, it is also one of the Celtics’ few players who can score 55 points in the playoffs. , But this kind of outbreak, to a certain extent, also made Zhou Lin a target of the Celtics. After the game, the video analysis of the players seemed to dissect Zhou Lin under a microscope.

It is almost impossible for Zhou Lin to score 55 points efficiently like in the last game.

10 of 4 in the half game, scored 9 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, and also had 3 personal fouls. For a star of Zhou Lin's level, the Boston Celtics have done a perfect job on the defensive end.

In the locker room, the assistant coach also talked to Zhou Lin emphatically about the opponent's tactical deployment and Zhou Lin's need to control his own personal fouls.

At the beginning of the third quarter, for the older Celtics, the intermission allowed them to regain some strength. In the third quarter, Zhou Lin's encirclement and suppression will not let up.

After the opening, the Green Army's "Truth" hit Zhou Lin twice on the offensive end. Zhou Lin was still a little apprehensive. Zhou Lin, who was fouled three times, was more or less afraid of the fourth foul early. find yourself.

However, Zhou Lin's touch has recovered a bit, and he made his first shot from outside the three-point line in the third quarter.

And Brandon Roy also added bricks and tiles, using his personal breakthroughs to grab 4 points in a row.

The Charlotte Bobcats got off to a perfect start, a 9-3 start, directly tied the score, and stopped the Boston Celtics.

"The crazy pace of the third quarter of the Charlotte Bobcats is coming. Everyone knows that the Charlotte Bobcats are the best at playing the third quarter. The net difference of 3.2 points in the third quarter is also the most in the entire league. In many games, the Charlotte Bobcats have played a wave in the third quarter and finally established the victory of the game."

Both Yang Yi and Su Qun became excited. The Charlotte Bobcats continued to play silky offense, showing signs of overtaking in the third quarter, and Rivers' timeout was also called in time. The youngsters of the Charlotte Bobcats who played the offensive felt somewhat powerless in front of them.

After returning from the timeout, the Boston Celtics did not immediately stop the decline on the defensive end. Although Rondo continued to use breakthroughs to assassinate the inside of the Bobcats, but on the defensive end, the Bobcats have already started.

Zhou Lin turned himself into a cake maker, and gave Roy consecutive balls, and Roy's touch was hot, and he kept hitting mid-range and long-range shots.

The Charlotte Bobcats are starting to build their advantage.

In the next round, Kyle Lowry steals the ball from Rajon Rondo and gives it to the fast-down Brandon Roy.

When Brandon Roy was about to go down for a dunk, he was knocked to the ground by Tony Allen, who rushed over with the ball, and one of his hands was pushing Roy, and Roy fell to the ground. That bang, the sound was very loud!
"Fortunately, it's okay. The moment just now may have caused serious injuries. After all, people don't have any focus in the air."

Fortunately, Roy was fine, but such a dangerous action also made Roy furious, he picked up the basketball and slammed it at Tony Allen fiercely.

Tony Allen immediately came over and gave Brandon Roy a hard push.

fight?Hmph, maybe the Celtics are eager for such a thing to happen. Tony Allen is not a good person, looking at Brandon Roy provocatively.

Roy pushed Tony Allen back, and the two quickly wrestled together.

"Hey, calm down, don't fall for it!"

"They were deliberately provocative."

The assistant coach on the sidelines shouted loudly, but it still couldn't prevent such emotions from happening, and it could only stop the players on the bench from rushing to the court. It's okay now, once the players on the bench go to the court , but will be directly expelled.

Rajon Rondo was the quickest to react, and also rushed over. He wanted to get started, but was pulled away by Hayes, who had quick eyesight and quick hands, and was even pushed to the ground because of his great strength.

This is not this year's playoffs. The Charlotte Bobcats want to fight their opponents because young people are very angry.

On the other hand, apart from Garnett rushing up to confront Zhou Lin, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen watched everything happen calmly.

It was the combination of the three referees that managed to pull away these fierce men who wanted to use force.

Referees need time to make decisions.

Players on both sides returned to the bench to calm down.

Su Qun said: "Roy has a very good temper. We Chinese audiences know Roy very well. In the Charlotte Bobcats, Roy is recognized as having a good temper. In the previous fights, Roy Basically, they all assume the role of persuading the fight, but now he can't help it, hey, should I say that the Celtics are completely impatient, but no matter how impatient you are, it shouldn't be like this."

And on the bench, Roy with his hips akimbo looked cold.

"I'll let him give me an explanation!"

Brandon Roy said coldly.

Although Roy played the role of a good man in most cases, and in the Charlotte Bobcats with a good atmosphere, he rarely had disputes with the team, but most of the Charlotte Bobcats teammates knew that Brad Landon Roy is a guy who can't be messed with. Roy doesn't like to go to those high-end nightclubs where his teammates go, but he likes to go to some bars where black people gather. The risk factor is very high, and Brandon Roy can mix with the people inside, and he is quite prestigious. In other words, if Brandon Roy does not play in the NBA, he can also become a ruthless gangster. Everyone has heard about Brandon Roy's gang background, but they have never really seen it, and Zhou Lin has seen it once, and once Zhou Lin went with the Roy family At the party, I was intercepted by some street gangsters, but when Roy rolled down the window of the car, those gangsters dispersed respectfully. Of course, this was not because Roy was an NBA player.

The referee's conclusion came out quickly. Brandon Roy and Tony Allen were ejected with [-] boards each, while Zhou Lin, Kevin Garnett, and Rajon Rondo each received [-] boards. When it came to a technical foul, it was Chuck Hayes who escaped this time. The referee believed that Chuck Hayes blocked Rajon Rondo to avoid the escalation of the situation, so he pushed the latter .

But Brandon Roy's exit caused a great loss to the Charlotte Bobcats, and after all, the opponent only lost a blue-collar engineer, Tony Allen.

Brandon Roy scored 11 of 6 and 15 points, including 4 of 2 three-pointers, and his competitive state was even better in the second half. For this penalty, all the fans booed the referee.

"I have to be angry with Doc Rivers' plan. Yes, I'm sure it's the Boston Celtics' plan. If I were Brandon, I would definitely go with Tony. It was murder. Of course, we also hope that the league can pursue the Boston Celtics. As long as you are a little more serious, you will find that this round is an obvious murder foul, which is intentional. At that time, if Roy didn't hit the ground with his butt first, but with his head, lumbar spine or ankles, then Roy is likely to suffer a serious injury, and this is the follow-up. If so, then can it be understood that I can find a water dispenser player to provoke the opponent's player, or even hurt the opponent's player, and then lure you and me to fight, if the league allows such self-destructive players."

Not only the domestic live broadcast room, but even the local commentators of the Charlotte Bobcats were very dissatisfied with this, and believed that the Boston Celtics had to be punished. This must be Doug Rivers' strategy.

Moreover, from the team's tactical point of view, Roy, who is in a hot offensive state, is missing, while the main lineup of the Celtics has not changed much, which is not fair to the Charlotte Bobcats.

Suddenly there is a magic weapon missing from the arsenal, which is a very bad signal for the Charlotte Bobcats.

When Brandon Roy left the field, the Charlotte Bobcats still held a 9-point lead.

However, Paul Pierce's two consecutive mid-range attacks and Ray Allen's three-pointer, plus the previous 'penalty', all of a sudden hit a wave of 9-3 offense, and the point difference quickly narrowed to the distance of a ball.

"Don't be affected by the previous turmoil, we need to stay calm."

"I'm well aware that they want to mess things up, that's the usual tactic, but it's the calm and sane that keeps the lead."

"If fighting can win the game, I can take off my suit and fight with them right now!"

"It would be the worst if we were tricked."

Larry Brown is basically used to this kind of battle. After all, the Detroit Pistons he was in before were also accused of being a 'dirty' team.

fight?Sikong saw it strangely, it's just that the league has become more civilized now, so the smell of gunpowder is less, and he also knows very well that restraint and calmness are the kingly way to win the game.

Larry Brown is also an old coach who has experienced countless ups and downs, and it is still very useful for players to learn from each other.

Zhou Lin was the first to calm down. Zhou Lin's two consecutive sniper three-pointers made the Celtics go crazy again.

Zhou Lin, who scored only 9 points in the first half, broke out again in the third quarter. Currently, he has scored 13 points in a single quarter.

The Boston Celtics, after the timeout, immediately double-teamed Zhou Lin, because Brandon Roy was no longer on the court, and Zhou Lin was the only true core of the Charlotte Bobcats.

But Zhou Lin's adaptation to this defensive change is far beyond what the Celtics can imagine.

Except for the first ball possession after the change, which was a hasty shot to no avail, Zhou Lin used wonderful passes to Lowry and Yi Jianlian for the remaining two ball possessions. .

Seeing that the point difference has reached double digits, the Boston Celtics are even more active in fighting.

In one round, Zhou Lin got a rebound and was about to push forward, but Rasheed Wallace made a barb, which directly made Zhou Lin fall to the ground again with a bang.

The referee just blew an ordinary foul, which also filled the Charlotte Bobcats with righteous indignation.

Zhou Lin applauded calmly.

It seems to be a mockery of the referee.

It's just that in the next offensive round, Zhou Lin directly drove Rasheed Wallace inside and made a layup, and then gave an elbow.

Zhou Lin's fourth foul came because of this, but now the third quarter is coming to an end, so it doesn't matter.

Now if the referee gives Zhou Lin the second technical foul, Zhou Lin will be sent off, and he will definitely win the boos of the audience, and the last time Zhou Lin was hooked by Rasheed Wallace, he did not call a technical foul. Under the circumstances, he could not call Zhou Lin's technical foul.

just an ordinary foul
And Rasheed Wallace also suffered a heavy elbow, but he didn't force Zhou Lin to get his second technical foul and roar at the referee.

Unexpectedly, instead of giving Zhou Lin a second technical foul, the referee gave Rasheed Wallace a technical foul instead.

When Zhou Lin was substituted, he accepted the applause of the audience instead, and after Zhou Lin sat on the bench, he also applauded the players on the field.

The third quarter ends.

Although less Brandon. Roy, but the Charlotte Bobcats still completed the go-ahead.

74-65, 9 points advantage!
