This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 431 23-point defeat in the Eastern semifinals

"Hey, I didn't expect you guys to win New Jersey, we're all ready to say hello to Chris."

James and Zhou Lin punched and said with a smile.

Zhou Lin nodded and said, "Oh, in another ten days, you can also go to nightclubs with Chris to have fun."

"Really? It seems that you are very confident!"

The starting lineup of the Charlotte Bobcats: Zhu Holiday + Brandon Roy + Zhou Lin + Yi Jianlian + Tyson Chandler.

The beginning of the game.

The Charlotte Bobcats grabbed the first wave of possession, and Brandon Roy completed a layup in front of his predecessor Dwyane Wade. The two players are currently two of the best second positions in the league, and These two people also had a similar scene, both were selected with the fifth overall pick, both were older rookies, both suffered knee injuries before entering the league, both lost their meniscus, and both were early in their careers He won the championship a few years ago.

In addition to the matchup between Zhou Lin and LeBron James, the matchup between Brandon Roy and Dwyane Wade in this round of the series is also a very interesting matchup.

Looking back, Dwyane Wade's breakthrough attracted the attention of the defense, allowing Stephen Curry to hit a shot from outside the three-point line. After the replacement head coach Atkinson took office, Stephen Curry's shot percentage There's a slight uptick, and it's more of an end point than a transition point or an initiation point, in a way that Dwyane Wade and LeBron James have done more than a lean Steph Curry's threat is much greater, and because of the strong breakthrough ability of the former two, Stephen Curry's outside shooting will also get a lot of open opportunities.

And Stephen Curry made a three-pointer, which is an extremely bad signal for the Charlotte Bobcats.

For the Charlotte Bobcats, the pick-and-roll with Brandon Roy and Zhou Lin is a commonly used tactic this season. Zhou Lin reached his weight limit in his fifth year in the league, and he also maintained Under the current athletic ability and tactical level, the weight of the big mouth is 110KG, which is slightly lighter than the player in the fifth position, but in the third and fourth positions, Zhou Lin's weight and strength are definitely top-notch.

This also made Zhou Lin's pick and roll much stronger.

After Zhou Lin broke in, he faced Stoudemire's defense. With a similar body shape, Zhou Lin squeezed a step forward and made a layup feint, then turned around and put the basketball into the basket.

"This season, Zhou Lin's inside attack ratio is also much higher than last year. Now Zhou Lin is really capable of playing in any position."

The current Zhou Lin is definitely the type of devil muscular man, 110kg, body fat rate 6%, and raised biceps, not inferior to ordinary insiders at all.

This is also the choice of many professional players. They will gain weight when they enter the league, not only insiders, but also guards. It is normal for forward players to lose weight. Body determines the end of your confrontation.

Most players only make the decision to lose weight in order to prolong their careers at the end of their careers.

For example, Kobe, after experiencing the peak period of weight, almost in the early 100KG, began to lose weight in the past two seasons, and reduced it to about 97KG. This is also to reduce the burden on the body.

"Zhou Lin's confrontation will not suffer when he meets Xiao Si!"

Yu Jia of CCTV said with emotion: "You can imagine that when you first entered the league, you played the fourth position. The thin appearance is almost deceptive."

In the last offseason, after Zhou Lin apprenticed with Olajuwon, Zhou Lin began to increase the post-up singles in the low post, but this technique has become Zhou Lin's murderous weapon this season, because Although Zhou Lin has the technique of post-up singles this season, but because of his lack of body thickness, he basically can only face the third position to fight hard, but this season, even if Zhou Lin meets the pure fourth position power forward , When the game can't start, he can still play in the low post. This time he played Stoudemire as proof. At least on the offensive end, Zhou Lin has turned into a hexagonal fighter now.

On LeBron James' side, after Zhou Lin scored, he quickly launched a fast break. Jane Wei connected and completed an alley-oop dunk. This is also the Knicks' daily program.

Larry Brown shouted anxiously on the sidelines: Retreat!

This is the home court of the New Yorkers. Once the opponent plays such a few more rounds, then the game will be explained. He can allow the offense not to make a goal, but he absolutely does not allow the opponent to score easily.

Defensive counterattack is the easiest way to get started, not to mention that New York's talent is higher than that of the Charlotte Bobcats.

The Flash, who was in full condition, bumped into the chest with LeBron James, and used a wave of 7-0 to stop the Charlotte Bobcats.

"We must always be sober. The enemy standing opposite us may be the strongest combination of the Big Three in history!"

Back on the court, the Charlotte Bobcats immediately adopted a tighter defense.

Zhu Holiday's pressure caused Raymond Felton, who was replaced, to make continuous mistakes. Raymond Felton, who went to New York, can be regarded as Holiday's senior. He has a great advantage in terms of height and wingspan.

Raymond Felton also wanted to prove it in front of his old club. As a result, Raymond Felton sent a wave of turnovers. The Charlotte Bobcats got the opportunity and kept sending the ball inside. Tyson Chandler faced the big Z who was replaced, and succeeded in eating cakes consecutively.

At the end of the first quarter, the New York Knicks took a 31-point lead at home, 26-5.

The bench lineup is definitely an opportunity that the Charlotte Bobcats must seize. The talent of the Charlotte Bobcats at the main and main level is at a disadvantage, but the Charlotte Bobcats have a slight advantage in the bench stage.

The combination of McGrady and David Lee on the inside and outside, plus the veteran Derek Fisher who didn't play much time.

Wilson Chandler, in the face of David Lee's ruthless inside line, slightly couldn't stand it. After all, David Lee was regarded as a pure fourth position, and his strength in the fourth position was also top-notch. Yes, and Wilson Chandler is considered a swingman at the third and fourth positions, and he is also an inch shorter.

It is worth mentioning that the New York Knicks want to fight the old fish well, but Mike Bibby can't do much now, falling to the low post, not only Mike Bibby is not very moved by Derry G. Fisher, even Jerry Stackhouse, the second position after the pick-and-roll, couldn't move.

Now, the old fish Fisher is most afraid of the small and fast outside line, with accurate shots and fast speed. On the contrary, he is not particularly afraid of countering the slow-moving outside line, even if he accidentally hits the fourth position. Wilson Chandler also didn't let his opponent get to the inside easily.

After all, with the remaining salary space of the New York Knicks, they can only recruit some old guys.

In addition, Tracy McGrady is also constantly succeeding on the outside. There are still three thousand nails in the bad boat. The former scoring champion can occasionally show his hideous face, especially when the opponent's defensive pressure is really mediocre. Down.

The lineup of David Lee + Tracy McGrady + Derek Fisher is constantly losing points.

This lineup was maintained until LeBron James came back first. Facing the former idol McGrady, LeBron James ended McGrady's good state with a block.

In this game, LeBron James did not do well in scoring, but he really contributed a lot of energy in other aspects, sending 4 assists + 2 blocks + 2 steals.

Today, he and Zhou Lin are almost in a state of mutual explosion. It is not easy for James to score, but it is not easy for Zhou Lin.

Then the starters of the Charlotte Bobcats came back one after another.

The ball in the game is basically concentrated in the hands of LeBron James and Zhou Lin. These two are currently the few third positions in the league who can control the ball well, and they are both offensive and defensive. Of course, Limited by his wingspan, Zhou Lin's defensive talent is slightly weaker, but he is a big man close to 2.1 meters after all, as long as he keeps standing in front of you, his shooting will inevitably have problems.

It can be said that before LeBron James won the first championship, his psychological quality was more or less weak. The possibility of losing the chain at critical moments is not small, and his shooting confidence is easily hit. Zhou Lin often defends James They are all shooting and not letting go. As long as he stands in front of LeBron James, James' shots are a bit awkward.

And Zhou Lin began to do pick-and-roll with Chandler continuously. After playing in the second quarter, he vaguely suppressed LeBron James.

In terms of shooting ability, Zhou Lin is better than James, which also allows Zhou Lin to use shooting to open up the situation when he is anxious.

But New York is a three-headed monster, or even a four-headed monster!

Dwyane Wade quickly took the lead in the offense when LeBron James was ineffective, went to the basket continuously, and constantly challenged Tyson Chandler's defense, and Chandler also Two fouls were drawn.

In the case of three fouls with three backs in the half, he could only be replaced first.

The Charlotte Bobcats immediately dispatched Jermaine O'Neal to maintain the lineup of the two towers inside, but James and Wade continued to take advantage of Jermaine O'Neal's slow-moving weakness and continuously played pick-and-rolls Misplaced offense, frequent points.

At the end of the second quarter, although Zhou Lin began to score continuously, the Charlotte Bobcats scored double digits and trailed by 2 points 54-65. It can only be said that the New York Knicks scored It's just too much.

The third quarter was originally the most chasing quarter for the Charlotte Bobcats, but Stephen Curry's two three-pointers directly gave the Charlotte Bobcats a sap, and the whole Madison was boiling .

Stephen Curry also did a hilarious celebratory dance with his hips twisted.

In this game, Stephen Curry has scored 4 three-pointers, and he made 5 of 4 three-pointers.

It can be said that Stephen Curry's three-pointer suddenly made the combination of Dwyane Wade and LeBron James, who are weak in outside shooting ability, not need to bear too much pressure on outside shooting.

However, the Charlotte Bobcats also made countermeasures immediately, competing for three-pointers. The Charlotte Bobcats were not afraid. Zhou Lin made a three-pointer and then Yi Jianlian also scored a three-pointer.

As for the New York Knicks, they continued to attack Stoudemire inside through the pick-and-roll, and Yi Jianlian also got his fourth foul.

In this game, the pressure on the inside can be imagined, and the Big Three are all threats to the basket.

Although since then, Brandon Roy, as the second child of the team, has continuously broken through the inside and succeeded in difficult layups.

But the team failed to close the score, and finally ended the third quarter with a 79-81, 12-point difference.

The 12-point difference is actually not too much for the Charlotte Bobcats who are good at playing fast and scoring, but the key is how to limit the New York Knicks who are blooming more.

Just after the fourth quarter, LeBron James, who broke through the mental shackles, finally made the first three-pointer of the game after 4 for 0. He stared at Zhou Lin as if saying, look at you Dare to let me shoot!

Spark Lee also raised three fingers, as if to say, finally made a shot, let's see how you can defend the King of New York!

The point difference was further widened. New York was very good at playing downwind. After Dwyane Wade dunked David Lee, the emotions of the New York fans were completely ignited.

Although Zhou Lin also scored a three-pointer after that, but because he couldn't prevent the opponent's score, as more and more time passed, the outcome has actually been decided!

After Stephen Curry made the fifth three-pointer of the game, the Charlotte Bobcats have lost to 23 points, and the Charlotte Bobcats can only start to withdraw the main force.

In the end, in the first game of the Eastern Conference semifinals, the New York Knicks beat the Charlotte Bobcats 123-99 at home with 24 points.

勒布朗.詹姆斯拿到了26分11篮板10次助攻的三双，德怀恩.韦德21分4篮板2抢断，阿玛雷斯.斯塔达迈尔拿到17分9篮板，斯蒂芬.库里的5个三分球也是取胜之匙，本场贡献17分5助攻1抢断，作为季后赛彩鸟，斯蒂芬.库里在今天交出了比较好的成绩单。

Although Zhou Lin scored a game-high 21 points on 13 of 31 shots and had 7 assists and 9 rebounds, he also made 4 turnovers. In addition, Brandon Roy was in a downturn. When he was competing for the league's second shooting guard, he only scored 14 points and 5 rebounds, and made 12 of 4 shots.

In this game, the Charlotte Bobcats thought they could block the inside line of the high wall, but they got a total of 13 fouls, David Lee 3 times, Yi Jianlian 4 times, Tyson Chandler 5 times, Jayme Because of O'Neill 1 time.

The second game will continue to be played at Madison Gardens.
