This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 422 Reverse the Spurs!

The camera lens is constantly aimed at Brandon Roy. Judging from the smoke bombs constantly released by the Charlotte Bobcats, Brandon Roy may be before the All-Star Game, that is, at the end of January or early February, but In fact, it may take longer.

And it is a coincidence that this year's competition in the Eastern Conference is beyond imagination. In addition to the Chicago Bulls' further progress, the Magic and Celtics are still firmly in the third and fifth positions, and the second-ranked New Jersey The Nets, and the New York Knicks who kicked D'Antoni away also squeezed into fourth place. In addition, the Philadelphia 76ers and the sudden emergence of the Milwaukee Bucks also have a place in the playoffs. In general, the Charlotte Bobcats The team is really difficult.

In ESPN's commentary on the most disappointing team this season, the Charlotte Bobcats are also on the list.

The Charlotte Bobcats don't need to consider whether they can enter the playoffs in the upper half now, because the New York Knicks with 26 wins are ranked fourth, leading the Charlotte Bobcats to a full 6.5 wins .

What they should be worrying about is whether they will not be squeezed out of the playoffs.

Every game now, for the Charlotte Bobcats, is a must.

After returning from halftime, the camera also focused on Zhou Lin's sprained shoulder. Zhou Lin did not miss the game after being checked. In this game, once Zhou Lin does not play, this game basically does not need to be played again.

But 16 points behind the San Antonio Spurs at halftime, not 16 points behind an offensive team. This team has too much experience in leading the ball. hands.

At the beginning of the second half, the San Antonio Spurs began to use a 3-2 zone defense.

The Spurs are definitely the most inclusive and economical team in the NBA. There are too many international players in the team, so some practical tactics in the international arena will also be well integrated into the Spurs.

In the NBA where man-to-man defense is rampant, zone defense is not popular.

The San Antonio Spurs began to protect the inside line. In the first half, Zhou Lin was given too many opportunities to easily enter the inside line, which also caused the Spurs' inside line group to encounter a certain foul crisis.

The Charlotte Bobcats' shooting is actually average today, so the Spurs don't need to deploy a lot of troops to protect the shooting from the flanks. Tracy McGrady, who is ambushing in the bottom corner, is 3 for 0, and Derek Fisher is 2 for 0.

If a player like Yi Jianlian who has shooting and coping skills can still play today, then the Spurs will not make such arrangements, but Jermaine O'Neal and Chuck Hayes lack that much interest today.

夏洛特山猫队直接在第三节的开端连续4中0，被对手打了6-0，分差直接来到了20分以上。

Some fans have even started to leave the stadium, because everyone knows that if the Spurs lead by more than 20 points in a game, basically the game is over, and even the commentators are starting to worry about the Charlotte Bobcats , if this game is lost, then the difference between the number of games and the digital team will come to 2 games.

If the Charlotte Bobcats can't even make the playoffs this year, they will become the third team in history to miss the playoffs for the defending champions. The last two teams were Boston in the 69-70 season. The Celtics and the Chicago Bulls in the 98-99 season, and the last two teams, were because the main players in the team either retired or left, and they began to perform poorly at the beginning of the season.

摄像机的镜头不断的扫到了杰梅因.奥尼尔，这位7届全明星打了16分钟，拿到4分6篮板却有3次失误和4次犯规，在防守端连续被年长的蒂姆.邓肯和菜鸟斯普利特教训。

22 points behind, the conventional means are really a bit difficult to catch up, the game seems to have entered garbage time.

If the score cannot be brought within 15 points at the end of the third quarter, basically there is no need to play in the fourth quarter.

The Charlotte Bobcats took a slant forward and took out a lineup of four strikers, Zhu Holiday, Tracy McGrady, Luke Mbah a Moute, Zhou Lin, and David Lee's lineup.

The offense of this lineup is very threatening, but the defense is almost free.

Even David. Lee has topped Tim Duncan's defensive position.

If it was Tim Duncan five years ago, there is a high probability that this game will be gone, but now Duncan is also a 5-year-old veteran after all, and his playing time and efficiency will naturally decline. They all gave Tim Duncan a chance to play singles, but maybe the lead was a bit too much. Duncan stopped playing a little bit here, instead of digging in desperately, he shot continuously in the middle distance.

There is a high probability that David Lee can only watch Tim Duncan shoot. Tim Duncan's shooting has fluctuated and given the Charlotte Bobcats a little chance. Although the Bobcats are at a disadvantage in terms of height, but Relying on a few times of rushing, they continued to get rebounds. The Bobcats had a high determination to counterattack. Instead of giving the San Antonio Spurs a defensive formation to complete the positional battle, the Hussars at least started to score.

When the score difference was the smallest in the third quarter, it was only 12 points away. However, Ginobili's buzzer shot in the third quarter fixed the point difference at 16 points. This quarter was tied. It can be said that the San Antonio Spurs The method of pressing the rhythm is really awesome.

85-69.

This is a point difference that can be chased, but it is very difficult to chase.

In fact, Zhou Lin, who has already encountered an injury in this game, can take a break in this situation. After all, this game is difficult to follow, and if there are some collisions in the game, it may cause irreparable loss.

But Zhou Lin didn't stop, he still wanted to chase after him!
Once Zhou Lin, who scored 24 points, is off the field, the game is basically over.

And this game has become a very representative game in Zhou Lin's career.

In the fourth quarter, the Charlotte Bobcats still maintained a highly mobile four-forward lineup, while the San Antonio Spurs replaced Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili. This game is just about to be played. If the Bobcats can chase the point difference back, there is a high probability that Duncan and Ginobili will come up to play. If the point difference is not close and has been hovering above 15 points, then This game basically stopped, after all, Duncan and Ginobili's ages are there, one is 34 years old, the other is 33 years old, and both have suffered from injuries.

Now Parker, the youngest player in GDP, is playing again with a bunch of substitutes.

The Spurs are like an extremely sophisticated machine, every part has a substitute, but the effect will be slightly worse, which is also the scary thing about the Spurs in this era.

Even without GDP, Popovich can train the Spurs to the threshold level of the playoffs.

But just like when the Spurs met the Houston Rockets back then, there will be some accidents in everything. McGrady, who scored 35 seconds and 13 points, has faded the halo of the leading role, but his first three-pointer was missed. The prelude to a chasing battle.

"Come on, McGrady, the three-pointer from the right corner, and no more."

"Finally scored. The Charlotte Bobcats' killer three-pointer in today's game was only 17 of 5. This is also the reason for falling behind. I hope McGrady's three-pointer can open up the three-pointer rain for the Bobcats. "

The three-pointer of the Charlotte Bobcats finally came. After veteran McDyess missed a layup, the Charlotte Bobcats immediately counterattacked. Zhou Lin finally made the first shot of the game. Two three-pointers.

Popovich immediately called a timeout. It is absolutely impossible for the Charlotte Bobcats to chase points like this.

85-75, there are still more than 9 minutes left, such a difference is not safe in an instant.

Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili were immediately forced onto the court.

Manu Ginobili is really a deadly demon knife. When he first came up, he faced the Bobcats with great momentum, and directly hit McGrady with a three-pointer, and caused a 3+1!

It was as if the flames in the heart of the Charlotte Bobcats had just been lit, and he immediately poured cold water on them.

After making free throws steadily, the momentum of the Charlotte Bobcats seemed to disappear again.

In the next two rounds, the Charlotte Bobcats seemed to have lost their spirits, and they tried all the outside shots. After Luke Mbah a Moute hit the iron, Zhou Lin rushed into the inside from the three-point line. Gao Yue jumped up, received the basketball, and smashed the ball into the basket directly through the stone Buddha.

"Zhou Lin, he dunked through Tim Duncan and caused a defensive foul. The ball is hard enough!"

Zhou Lin also became excited. He walked to the sidelines and beat his chest continuously, as if he let out a bad breath.

Zhou Lin doesn't like to play against a team like the Spurs the most. The suppression of the rhythm of the game is too steady, and he hardly gives a chance!

But there is no absolutely perfect defense.

All the audience and fans at the scene stood up, and the cheers from the sidelines were like thunder.

The Charlotte Bobcats were about to start a counterattack. Tim Duncan was called for a technical foul for grabbing David Lee after he missed a single in the paint against David Lee.

Duncan must be one of the representatives of superstars who have no face. After all, he is the only one who can be called a technical foul if he smiles.

With 7 minutes and 01 seconds left in the game, David Lee made a free throw and the Charlotte Bobcats were still 14 points behind.

However, Luke Mbah a Moute, who was the most neglected in this lineup, first made an air cut and made a layup. Then he and Zhu Holiday forced the opposing point guard George Hill to succeed. Zhou Lin assisted Luke Mbah a Moute makes dunk.

It is equivalent to saying that in this wave, the Bobcats scored 5 points, and the point difference was also suppressed to less than 10 points for the first time since the second half.

Popovich didn't immediately call a timeout, and the Charlotte Bobcats became more emotional. In the next round, the San Antonio Spurs were blocked by the Bobcats for 24 seconds. Even Tim Duncan looked at George. Hill frowned.

The Charlotte Bobcats' pressure on the back line is also overwhelming. Zhu Holiday, Luke Mbah a Moute, and Zhou Lin are three players who are very willing to press their opponents.

It's a pity that, looking back, David. Lee's strong inside dunk was fouled by Richard Jefferson.

The game has entered a period of anxious time.

With 2 minutes and 24 seconds left in the game, Holiday made a rare three-pointer from the corner. You must know that Holiday's three-pointers this season are only 27%, and they are basically selectively given up by the Spurs. But Parker took two steps directly, and he really looked down on Holiday.

After this three-pointer went in, the point difference came to 6 points.

101-95!

Popovich called a timeout.

"Now the Bobcats can't let the Spurs score easily!"

"Time is against the Bobcats!"

But Popovich can catalyze the team to score quickly after the timeout almost every time.

In this round, the Spurs ran out of opportunities for 24 seconds, and finally got the best opportunity after passing 7 times. Richard Jefferson made this mid-range shot.

103-95!

2 minutes and 02 seconds, 8 minutes away.

Larry Brown didn't call a timeout, Zhou Lin broke through and passed the ball to David Lee in the bottom corner, and David Lee, who went out to shoot a three-pointer, shot a three-pointer out of the frame!

"such a pity!"

If you go in, there are only 8 points left, and now the Bobcats miss a three-pointer, and the opponent is sure to press the rhythm.

The San Antonio Spurs, who were playing steadily, still wanted to use Duncan as the pivot. Duncan overturned David Lee, thinking that there was no one in front, but after Zhou Lin came out, he ruthlessly rejected Duncan's must-go dunk!

McGrady fell to the ground to save the ball, Larry Brown called a timeout, and the Charlotte Bobcats fought for a wave of possession!
At 1 minute and 27 seconds, the Charlotte Bobcats trailed by 8 points!
After returning, Zhou Lin used the pick-and-roll to go straight to the basket. At this time, the Spurs took a laissez-faire attitude towards breaking through 2 points.

6 points, this round must be defended.

The Bobcats' press was successful at this moment, and Tony Parker's dribble stepped on the sideline, giving the Bobcats a chance to counterattack.

Zhou Lin made a three-pointer against Tim Duncan from beyond the three-point line!

It's very similar to the three-pointer McGrady made on Tim Duncan's head a few years ago!

Only 3 points away!

58 seconds left.

After the Spurs called a timeout, they stabilized the ball and almost used up the last 24 seconds. Tim Duncan's inside attack caused a foul by the Bobcats and made two free throws.

In 36 seconds, the Bobcats were 4 points behind, and 4 points and 3 points are equal to two concepts.

Zhou Lin hit the inside line continuously, scored 7 points in a row with a breakthrough again!
17 seconds, 2 points short!
The Bobcats chose to foul and die!
Parker missed two free throws, giving the Charlotte Bobcats a choice.

In 7.1 seconds, there was another chance to overtake or tie. When everyone thought Zhou Lin would rush to the inside, Zhou Lin directly shot a three-pointer after receiving the ball!

Swish!
Three point hit!

Zhou Lin scored 17 points in the fourth quarter!

105-104!

There are 5.2 seconds left in the time, but the Spurs have no timeout here!

Manu Ginobili was transported to the frontcourt, and the shot missed a little bit.

At the end of the game, the Charlotte Bobcats completed a shocking reversal!

With 41 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, Zhou Lin pulled the team out of the quagmire once. Of course, Zhou Lin paid the price of missing three games!
