This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 400 Pierce tied for free throws and entered overtime!
"Zhou Lin didn't rest. He seemed to be ready to play the whole game. Yes, Zhou Lin can do this at a certain time."

"It is worth mentioning that David Lee, the oldest of the starting five of the Charlotte Bobcats, is only 27 years old, while Ray Allen, the oldest of the Celtics, is 35 years old. The average age of the five is only 24.4 years old, while the Celtics are composed of three veterans over 32 years old, and the average grade has reached 30 years old. It can be said that they are the oldest starting combination in the playoffs. , the confrontation in the playoffs is more upgraded than the regular season, and the game has reached the sixth game of the Eastern Conference Finals. You can't expect these veterans who have played in the league for more than ten years to compete with their opponents. Roy and Zhou Lin averaged more than 42 minutes per game, while the longest playing time among the opponents was only 37 minutes.”

The data is clearly listed. When it comes to the bayonet fight, the younger and more physically fit Charlotte Bobcats are undoubtedly more confident.

The so-called boxing is afraid of the young, that is the reason.

As soon as the second quarter came up, the Charlotte Bobcats began to look for Zhou Lin. The defensive player, Tony Allen was much shorter than Zhou Lin, even though Tony Allen was well-known in the league on the defensive end. Tony Allen seemed helpless in the face of Zhou Lin, who was almost half a head taller than him.

In the case of a very low shooting percentage in the first quarter, Zhou Lin hit two consecutive mid-range shots in the early part of the second quarter, and the player who stood out from the Boston Celtics was Nate Robinson. In the first game, Nate Robinson scored 12 points in just 13 minutes of playing time, which also allowed Doug Rivers to choose to release part of the ball to Nate Robinson in this game, and Robinson also made a shot. The first three-pointer by both teams in a game.

"A person with a height of 175 centimeters is really ordinary in the United States. If they want to gain a foothold in the NBA, they need to work several times harder than those players who are two meters tall. Small players, almost every player's fighting spirit is extremely strong. You never need to worry about their fighting spirit and passion. In fact, the Boston Celtics' outside substitutes are a bit stretched, especially in the playoffs First, there are only three substitute players on the outside. Although Tony Allen is strong defensively, his offensive performance is below the average level of the NBA. In addition, Mike Finley is 37 years old after all. He performed like he was in his 20s. Therefore, the only substitute on the Celtics side who can sustain short-term outside offensive firepower is Nate Robinson. Why don't you bring Boston."

Both teams know each other thoroughly. The sixth game of the playoffs, the players on both sides understand each other to a certain extent, so once the game gets into an entangled situation, if one side wants to advance To break the game, there must be exceptions. For example, Zhou Lin wants to play the whole game without hesitating his physical fitness. For example, some role players accidentally broke out, such as Yi Jianlian of the Bobcats, and Nate Robinson of the Celtics.

In the most difficult 4 minutes for the Celtics, Nate Robinson scored 5 points and 2 assists, which basically offset the strong outbreak of the presence of Zhou Lin of the Charlotte Bobcats.

In the middle of the second quarter, the main force of the Celtics slowly returned.

Then the rhythm of the game entered the stage of strangulation again. It was difficult for the players on both sides to score easily. Basically, if they wanted to score in each round, they had to bear the pressure of more than two people to complete.

Although Zhou Lin played for a long time today, he didn't take many shots, and the Celtics have already started to double-team Zhou Lin, especially when Zhou Lin went to the free throw line, it must be one inside and one outside. A double-team between two players.

It is worth mentioning that after Yi Jianlian came up in the second half of the second quarter, he scored another 4 points.

At the end of the first half, the Charlotte Bobcats led the Boston Celtics by 46 point 45-1, and Yi Jianlian was the only player who scored in double figures.

The rhythm of today's game is very slow, and the physical contact is also frequent. Due to physical fatigue, the offensive rhythm of both sides is somewhat stagnant, and the referee seldom blows the whistle, which also makes the physical confrontation of the players on both sides gradually escalate. , which also caused the score to keep going up.

But such a score is acceptable to both teams. Anyway, if I don't score, you won't score either.

The halftime break is important for both teams.

Especially the Boston Celtics, whose physical reserves are not dominant, everyone knows that the Charlotte Bobcats are the best team in the third quarter in the entire league. The young and unlimited Bobcats can often dominate in the third quarter. exaggerated advantage.

In the third quarter, the Charlotte Bobcats were also the first team to speed up. After Zhou Lin and Roy played a defensive fast break, the Charlotte Bobcats started a 6-0 start , opened the point difference to 7 points.

A gap of 7 points is not considered a relatively large gap in other games, but in this game, the gap of 7 points is not small. After all, the scoring efficiency of the two teams has not improved.

"The physical fitness of the Charlotte Bobcats finally has the upper hand. Almost all the players of the Charlotte Bobcats are players who have been in the league for 3-5 years. Players of this age have just entered the first gold medal in their careers. It can be said that it is in the stage of optimal physical condition. Although the technical level will be slightly worse than those players who are about 30 years old with great skills, but the comprehensive ability has already reached the first peak period. In addition, Charlotte The current main lineup of the Bobcats is almost all healthy."

Su Qun said so.

After entering the league for about four years, it is basically time to start implementing the second contract. The physical maturity of the players has basically reached its peak. Most of the players are at their peak in terms of weight, speed, and speed. There are not many players at this stage. This is also the first harvest period for many teams to select high-quality players, build a team around them, and cultivate themselves. Moreover, most players of this age have reached maturity on the psychological level, and they are not particularly reckless. After this stage, most players will suffer from injuries. Even if the maturity of their skills is increasing, their immediate combat power will not increase particularly much, but they are still at their golden peak before the age of 30, and players like The Big Three on the side of the Boston Celtics have passed their golden peak period, at best they can only be regarded as the tail of their peak, and they are in the decline stage.

In a regular game, the curves of the two teams should be two different curves. The peak of the Bobcats is in the third quarter, while the pressure of the Celtics in the first half will definitely be the lowest in the third quarter. Yes, on the contrary, there will be a small trough in the third quarter, because they need to control their physical fitness to maintain their competitiveness in the fourth quarter, which is also a manifestation of helplessness.

If it weren't for the Charlotte Bobcats making a few mistakes in the third quarter, the Celtics might have trailed by more than double digits in points.

The bobcats' push block attack also means possible mistakes, and the retreat after the fast break is not timely. The Celtics undoubtedly seized such an opportunity.

However, at the end of the third quarter, the Charlotte Bobcats still established a slight advantage.

68-61, the Charlotte Bobcats led by 7 points.

"Today's score is low enough. It didn't break 70 points at the end of three quarters, which is rare in this round of the series."

"This kind of scoring efficiency is a bit like the NBA games 5-10 years ago. Mid-range and basket offenses accounted for the vast majority. Now the league's offensive and defensive rhythms are much faster than before, and the proportion of three-pointers has also begun to increase. So I think If you want to win, you basically have to break [-], but the offensive efficiency of these two teams today, it seems that it is not easy to break [-]."

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Boston Celtics took the lead. Today, the two teams made 9 of 2 three-pointers and 7 of 1 three-pointers. At this time, Ray Allen, as the team's most threatening player outside the three-point line, suddenly made two three-pointers in a row, and the handicap directly came to 1 point.

And Rajon Rondo, who had a bad time with Ray Allen in the last game, also took the initiative to celebrate with Ray Allen.

Basketball will have this kind of charm, which can cover up all the unhappiness.

68-67, with only 1 point left.

In the North Shore Garden Arena, the audience fell into joyful cheers, and the Boston Celtics were about to rise.

Zhou Lin didn't rest for a second today, but because of the low scoring efficiency and targeted defense, the Bobcats have not been able to widen the point difference.

After returning to the court, the Bobcats arranged a sideline kick tactic, Zhou Lin finally reached the inside line, scored points and caused Garnett's fourth foul.

"It's not easy. Today Zhou Lin is really taken care of in every aspect, and the Bobcats' shooting touch is actually average."

Except for Tony Allen's single-defense stage today, Zhou Lin basically had to face double-team defense at other moments. This is also a rare double-team defense for the Celtics. In the last game, Zhou Lin was strong After the outbreak, he directly clocked in three quarters, which proved that Zhou Lin in a healthy state, if he only defended alone, would be a completely wrong way to play.

But today Zhou Lin's shooting touch is really average, and the free throw that he caught was also lost amidst the boos on the scene.

The Celtics wanted to get back the score, but the Bobcats kept pressing their opponents. The minimum point difference was 1 point, and the maximum was 7 points. The suspense has always been retained.

Time is also passing by bit by bit.

With 2 minutes and 15 seconds left in the game, Pierce made David Lee's fifth foul inside and made two free throws.

81-83, the Bobcats were caught up to a 2-point difference once.

However, after the timeout ended, the Charlotte Bobcats immediately found an offensive feeling. Yi Jianlian received a pass from Zhou Lin and succeeded in dunking. His personal score reached 17 points, which is currently the highest among all players on both sides. of.

85-81，4分的分差，1分57秒的时间。

On the side of the Boston Celtics, Rondo got a nearly open outside shot, but Rondo didn't take the shot, but went to the inside, and chose a drop shot under pressure, but was interfered by Zhou Lin's defense , missed the throw, Zhou Lin took the rebound and handed it to Kyle Lowry, but Rajon Rondo used his own fighting, and in the competition with Lowry, he succeeded in catching the ball and patted the ball on Lowry's thigh , Helping the Celtics gain another wave of possession.

Garnett finally got the ball and hit Yi Jianlian's defensive lob hook.

Excited, he patted his chest and roared.

85-83, 1 minute and 23 seconds, the Charlotte Bobcats did not call a timeout, and amidst the shouts of 'defense' in the audience, the Charlotte Bobcats were almost defended by their opponents for 24 seconds!
In 1 minute, the Celtics got the rebound, and they finally found Ray Allen. Ray Allen's three-pointer helped the Boston Celtics take the lead for the first time in the game.

"Ray Allen is indeed the most ruthless shooter in the league. The entire Celtics scored three three-pointers, two of which came from Ray Allen, and they were all in the fourth quarter. , Sure enough, you can always trust Ray Allen."

"Now the pressure is on the Bobcats, winning the whole game, but being overtaken in the last 46 seconds is as bad as it gets."

"Defense!"

"Defense!"

"Defense!"

"Zhou Lin, against Ray Allen's defense, drifted a three-point shot!"

"Have it!"

"Zhou Lin's first three-pointer of the game!"

"Zhou Lin made 4 of 0 three-pointers before, but now he dares to make such a shot and still makes it, he is a superstar!"

The entire North Shore Garden was full of fighting spirit in such an atmosphere, but Zhou Lin resisted the pressure after all.

Three points are like a silencer.

At 31 seconds, the Charlotte Bobcats led by 88 points, 86-2.

The ball was given to Ray Allen again, but this time Ray Allen failed to continue the magic. After all, it was too difficult for him to shoot a three-pointer against Zhou Lin.

In 11 seconds, the Charlotte Bobcats held a 2-point advantage and still had the ball. The Celtics could only choose foul tactics.

They fouled Kyle Lowry, and Garnett paid for his fifth foul.

"Missing two free throws, what happened to Lowry! The victory that was already in the bag!"

Lowry made 82% of his free throws, which fell to 69% in the playoffs, but it was still good, but Lowry missed two free throws!

For the Boston Celtics, the gap of 2 points and the time of 11 seconds are entirely possible by counter-killing the game.

Lowry patted his head in frustration. If he made two free throws just now, the suspense of the game would be almost gone. Even if he made one free throw, the Bobcats would not lose during the regular season, at least they would be added. Time game, but now if the Celtics come to a three-pointer, the Bobcats will swallow the loss bitterly.

"Defend well, don't worry too much!" Zhou Lin patted Lowry on the shoulder and said.

"Now the Bobcats must not give three points. I believe Larry Brown will also emphasize this point. In 11 seconds, the Celtics will definitely not press the time, so the Bobcats need every time. Tighten that string every moment."

Every Celtics player looked very solemn, and the TV cameras were constantly scanning Ray Allen. Ray Allen is currently the only player on the court who has made a three-pointer. It is naturally impossible for Te Robinson to be replaced in such a critical round.

"You can't give three points, you can't give three points!" Su Qun shouted, staring at the field intently.

But the Bobcats still allowed the Celtics to find a chance to shoot a three-pointer. Ray Allen found a difficult three-pointer with the help of Garnett's back screen, but this time he failed to deny it. Kill the Bobcats.

"Backboard!"

When all the Bobcats fans breathed a sigh of relief, Garnett tried his best to fight the rebound.

Give to Pierce on the side!
Pierce dribbled the ball, feinted, and made Roy's foul!
"Oh, my god!"

"Pierce has a chance to tie the game with free throws! But I have to say that the young Bobcats lost rebounds this time, really wish they should."

In the replay of the screen, Yi Jianlian was out of position, allowing Garnett, who returned from the outside line, to get the rebound.

Pierce's two free throws, without Waterloo, hit steadily, and the audience chanted 'truth', as if they had won the game.

With 1.2 seconds left, Zhou Lin tried to forcefully pull it up, but he failed to hit it.

Regular time ends.

88-88!

The two teams are about to enter the first overtime.
