This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 421 The hardships of fighting alone!
"Zhou Lin, give James Harden a big hat!"

"Zhou Lin's defense is really good!"

"Where is Zhou Lin's height?"

At the start of the second half, the Charlotte Bobcats began to defend. Playing and playing, you can play with you casually in the first half, but in the second half, it is impossible for you James Harden to shoot casually first. Zhou Lin took the initiative Ask Ying to defend James Harden's section, and James Harden has started to straddle. In the case of neither speed nor height, James Harden's forced three-pointer is undoubtedly a very bad choice.

"Listen, James, the good times are over."

Zhou Lin said to James Harden while grabbing the basketball.

In front of James Harden is really cool.

For James Harden, who became the leader of the team early in the second grade, Zhou Lin finally wanted to teach him a lesson.

Just like James Harden's career, Harden's shooting percentage under pressure is really low.

The Charlotte Bobcats, who own the home court, quickly took control of the situation in the third quarter.

Although the Warriors ushered in a small wave of explosions in the fourth quarter, David Lee gave Zhou Lin an offensive rebound 17.5 seconds before the end of the game. Zhou Lin's 2+1 drive to the basket locked the score at 105-99, ruining the Warriors' last chance to comeback. With Gerald Wallace's three-pointer, the Charlotte Bobcats stopped playing, and the game ended here.

In the end, the Charlotte Bobcats ended in victory for the second consecutive Christmas game.

After Christmas, the four-game winning streak Charlotte Bobcats beat the 76ers without Andre Iguodala in an away game, winning the longest five-game winning streak of the season.

With Larry Brown thinking that the coaching position was kept, Hibbert and Yi Jianlian were injured one after another.

First, Roy Hibbert suffered a broken finger, and then Yi Jianlian stepped on the back of El Jefferson's instep in the game against the Timberwolves and suffered a truce due to a sprained ankle.

The loss of two generals inside made the Charlotte Bobcats fall to the bottom again.

Zhou Lin, who was even nominated as the best player of the month in December, suffered a bitter 12-game losing streak in January.

The record also dropped to 19 wins and 21 losses, overtaken by the Philadelphia 76ers, and fell to the ninth position in the Eastern Conference.

The Charlotte Bobcats are extremely distressed inside, leaving only pure center Jermaine O'Neal.

Although O'Neal entered the NBA as a high school student, he is only 32 years old now, but he was once comparable to Garnett, the wolf king, and compared with the two great No. 21s, he has long been the NBA's injury.

Maybe it was bad luck. At the peak, the Pacers were strong and ready to do things in the East, but he met Ron Artest. In the few years after the dream broke the Palace of Auburn Hills, he moved to many teams and was healthy. Problems also began to bother him. The knee problem, the most common injury among basketball players, also came to him. O'Neal had double problems both mentally and physically.

Today's O'Neal is only a candidate after Yi Jianlian and Hibbert.

On January 1, against the Washington Wizards, relying on Zhou Linzhun's lore three-pointer, the Charlotte Bobcats won their first victory in January, and on the second day, they played back-to-back against the San Antonio Spurs again.

Although it is a home game, no one thinks that the Charlotte Bobcats have a chance to win a game against the Spurs, the top spot in the West.

The San Antonio Spurs in odd-numbered years are quite terrifying. At this time, the San Antonio Spurs have already won 31 games in less than half of the season, ranking first in the league.

In November and December, the San Antonio Spurs lost a total of 11 games. In January, it was interesting that they were double-killed by the Boston Celtics at home and away. After winning the Pacers and returning to the West to double-kill the Timberwolves , The Spurs came to the East again, and they came to trouble the Bobcats.

The GDP that has not wavered for ten years has obtained a healthy license this season, and has not even missed a game.

The exhausted Charlotte Bobcats met the thriving San Antonio Spurs.

What kind of game will be played again?

At this moment, Zhou Lin averaged nearly 38.6 points per game in five games in January, allowing him to score 34.8 points per game. He is the scoring champion, but he is a bit like Kobe in 2.6, a little helpless.

Fighting back to back, only Chuck Hayes and Jermaine O'Neal are left inside.

Zhou Lin was pushed to the fourth position.

With Jrue Holiday, Tony Allen, Tracy McGrady, and Jermaine O'Neal.

The San Antonio Spurs sent Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili, Richard Jefferson, DeJuan Blair and Tim Duncan.

This is also Ginobili's first season, starting as a starter. In the previous 37 games, there was only 1 game as a substitute.

This is also an adjustment made by Popovich.

They are also working hard to seize the final peak period of GDP and began to exert their strength in the regular season early.

How can the Charlotte Bobcats, which had 4 losses and 1 win in January, compete against the San Antonio Spurs under such adversity.

At the beginning of the game, both sides played in their own styles!
The Charlotte Bobcats can only focus on Zhou Lin now. On the offensive end, it is basically Zhou Lin who initiates it. At the same time, Zhou Lin will do it again in connecting the teams. In addition, Zhou Lin, who is the second highest, will also grab Rebounding, but also defense, is completely father and mother, Charlotte Bobcats fans miss Brandon Roy is also reasonable.

This year, GDP has completely pushed the team concept to the highest level. Tony Parker, who is currently the highest scorer, averages only 17.5 points per game, and the 34-year-old Shifo only has 13.4 points per game.

No one in the disciplined San Antonio Spurs would argue with this kind of winning team basketball.

In the first quarter, the Charlotte Bobcats did not play very well. For the league's leading scorer, the Spurs' way of dealing with it was to give Zhou Lin a semi-oppressive defense and not give him a chance to rush inside. Although Ginobili and Al Jefferson are not the league's top forward defenders, they have good awareness.

On the contrary, Zhou Lin passed the ball, and the Spurs gave them a chance, especially Tony Allen.

Tony Allen is used to choke Tony Parker's small sports car, but when he is on the court with Ginobili, the pressure on the organization's offense is not so strong. On the contrary, it is on the offensive end, Tony Allen. Allen was simply disastrous.

Zhou Lin, who had just fought a hard fight yesterday, had a particularly uncomfortable start. Several shots from mid-to-long distances were short, and when he was hitting the basket, he was beaten solidly by Tim, who didn't jump too high. . Duncan a big cap.

On the other hand, the San Antonio Spurs played very well. Duncan had no problem playing Jermaine O'Neal in the paint. Although Jermaine O'Neal was two years younger than him, the physical condition of the two was not much different, but Duncan's skills And the golfer can guarantee that after he loses his strong athletic ability, he can still maintain a good competitive state.

Tim Duncan, who has a smooth floor, pushed O'Neal to the inside, turned around and hit small hooks continuously, and O'Neal seemed a little helpless. The Bobcats could not replace the young Hayes.

Hayes is good against World of Warcraft, Perkins, this type of rough inside line is not good enough for a strong inside line, but Duncan has basically integrated all the inside offensive skills into one, and he must pay close attention to Haye. Si's height problem.

The San Antonio Spurs are also a team that is very good at catching weaknesses. They know that the Bobcats are weak inside and use Tim Duncan as a check point.

Duncan scored 6 points in the opening practice.

Bobcats helplessly began to shrink inside.

Fortunately, Kenobili and Tony Parker missed several shots, which gave the Bobcats a sigh of relief.

McGrady played a dislocation here, facing Tony Parker's defense, scored 2+1, breaking the scoring drought for the Charlotte Bobcats in the first quarter.

McGrady is not the McGrady before, and the McGrady has a slightly swollen figure. Everyone knows that McGrady will not be the savior of the Charlotte Bobcats in this game.

However, at least in the first quarter of the game, when Zhou Lin was strictly guarded, McGrady still showed a little of his past style.

Facing Richard Jefferson's frontal pull, he hit the board into the frame, and then played the role of the cannonball carrier in the conduction, giving Zhou Lin a chance to catch the ball. There was a scoring shortage.

And the Spurs quickly started the ultimate team basketball cooperation. Splitter, who came off the bench, continued to eat cakes in the interior. This really tortured the only interior of the Bobcats to death. Not long after Te came up, he got his second personal foul. Larry Brown had no choice but to let Chuck Hayes come up to fight it. Fortunately, Splitter is not a particularly skilled insider. On the premise that Hayes' defense is not out of position, Splitter's offense is a bit rough, but he can grab it. With DeJuan Blair's inside combination, the offensive rebound in the first quarter of the game is really stealing exploded.

The offense of the Charlotte Bobcats has not improved much, and they are all relatively fragmented scores.

Zhou Lin even returned to the locker room in the middle and late part of the first quarter. At the moment when everyone was worried, they thought that Zhou Lin might not come back in this game, and during the replay, they did see Zhou Lin in the locker room. When I was stuck with DeJuan Blair, my shoulder twisted a little bit.

In the first quarter, the Charlotte Bobcats trailed by 19 points 32-13.

Perhaps, for many fans, there is no hope of a comeback in this game. It seems that the game was doomed from the beginning.

And if this game is lost, the Charlotte Bobcats will fall to the tenth place in the Eastern Conference.

It is 76 games away from the eighth-ranked Philadelphia 1.5ers.

However, amidst everyone's worries, Zhou Lin returned with a belt strapped to his shoulders.

Zhou Lin replaced Luke Mbah a Moute. At this moment, the Charlotte Bobcats were still 16 points behind. After Zhou Lin left the field, the Charlotte Bobcats' scoring core shifted to David Lee. David Lee's scoring efficiency is not high. In the Spurs' defensive system, even if it is as good as O'Neal's, it is difficult for the Spurs' strict defense to feel like a fish in water.

Fortunately, Zhou Lin seemed to have found a touch in the second quarter, and when he was half a meter away from the three-point line, he directly pulled up a three-pointer.

Swish into the basket!
"This is the ability of the scoring champion! You must always believe that the scoring champion's ability, you can't expect Zhou Lin's touch to always be as cold as the first quarter."

The return of Zhou Lin began to ignite the passion of the home fans.

The Bobcats began to pick and roll Zhou Lin continuously, and even in the middle of the second quarter, David Lee went to the fifth position.

This is a very mobile lineup, the inside line is no longer crowded, and the basket guarded by Split gradually began to have problems. Zhou Lin made continuous impacts and caused damage.

He almost took aim at Splitter. Splitter, who has just landed in the NBA, is even one year older than Zhou Lin. After the Spurs drafted him in 07, he also practiced in Europe for a period of time. Time, the Spurs did not do this once or twice, from Manu Ginobili, to Luis Scola, to Split.

This way of training is actually pretty good.

However, it will take some time for Splitter in his rookie year to adapt to the NBA. At this moment, Zhou Lin is already an NBA veteran in his fifth year, and he knows when he should do what.

Zhou Lin began to walk to the free throw line frequently.

Zhou Lin also knew today that his hand feel is actually average, and the various pick-and-rolls of the Bobcats are opportunities for Zhou Lin to find his hand feel. Let Zhou Lin play whichever Zhou Lin is easiest to hit. Once Zhou Lin is double-teamed, Xia The rest of the Lottery Bobcats were also decisive when they got the chance.

At least the tactics are clear!

On Zhou Lin's side, while being able to go to the free throw line to increase points, he can also increase his shooting feel through free throws on the serve.

And in the second quarter, the referee did give the Bobcats a lot of face, or Zhou Lin, the new scoring champion. Zhou Lin got 9 free throws in the second quarter. Free throw opportunities scored 9 points.

After returning from the medical room, Zhou Lin scored another 14 points in the second quarter, including the opening ultra-long three-pointer.

However, the Charlotte Bobcats still lost points in the second quarter. After the return of Tim Duncan and Tony Parker, the inside and outside core, the Spurs regained their rhythm, and O'Neal came up in the second quarter Not long after, he received his third personal foul. As a result, David Lee beat Tim Duncan until the end of halftime, which also caused Tim Duncan to do whatever he wanted inside.

Tim Duncan, who averaged less than 14 points per game this season, scored 14 points after only playing 15 minutes in the half.

41-57, the Charlotte Bobcats entered the second half behind by 16 points!
