This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 438 East finals, take the lead!
"The Charlotte Bobcats won!"

When Derrick Rose, who was waiting, knew that the opponent in the Eastern Conference Finals was the Charlotte Bobcats, he was also extremely surprised.

The Charlotte Bobcats are like the heroines of American dramas. In the very difficult mode, even if they are in a desperate situation and have only one breath left, they still change their fate against the sky and continuously defeat opponents that seem impossible to defeat.

If the only team that can be compared with the Charlotte Bobcats is probably the Houston Rockets in the 1994-1995 season, it was also the defending champion, and it was also extremely bad in the regular season, but it rushed into the playoffs step by step Game, and finally swept the Orlando Magic with O'Neal and Hardaway.

After the game, Houston Rockets coach Tomjanovich said a very famous sentence that has been handed down to this day: Never underestimate the heart of a championship.

Throughout the years, the regular season champions have shown their strength. They have won almost two-thirds of the championships, and the teams in the upper half are always popular.

And if the Charlotte Bobcats can change their fate against the sky and win the championship, then they will change history and become the second team to win the championship in the lower half after the Houston Rockets. Refresh the championship winner's record for the lowest winning percentage and lowest ranking in the regular season!

Now, it seems that all of this will not be so obtrusive, because there are already two championship favorites, who have been kicked out of the championship by them, the upstart New Jersey Nets, and the New York Knicks with the unprecedented Big Three !
Only 8 game wins are needed!

Although in the odds of the championship, the Charlotte Bobcats still lost to the Chicago Bulls. Among the four teams that have entered the conference finals, they are only better than the newcomer Oklahoma City Thunder that entered the conference finals for the first time. little bit.

The Chicago Bulls only lost 1 game in the first three rounds and are now regarded as the top seed of the championship. Derrick Rose also received an award from ESPN after finishing the second round of the playoffs and won the regular season The MVP is also the youngest MVP in history, breaking the previous record of LeBron James.

The Los Angeles Lakers also won the game against the Mavericks!

In the first round of last year's playoffs, the Charlotte Bobcats easily eliminated the Chicago Bulls, but Derrick Rose has already shown the demeanor of a superstar. This year's schedule will undoubtedly be more difficult than last year!
This is a set of duels with a lot of origin.

When Michael Jordan, the greatest player in the NBA and the No. 1 player in the history of the Chicago Bulls, and his sculpture was erected outside the United Center Arena, brought his team back.

Looking at the retired jersey fluttering in the air and the six championship banners with him as the absolute core, Michael Jordan's mood is probably a bit complicated.

Before the game, Derrick Rose and Michael Jordan embraced each other affectionately. As the iconic figures of the Chicago Bulls in two eras, Michael Jordan also hopes that the younger generation can take off, but as the boss, Michael Jordan still hopes that the team can Get the ultimate victory!

The key to victory is also held in the hands of two stars, Zhou Lin of the Charlotte Bobcats and Derek Rose of the Chicago Bulls!

Zhou Lin played an astonishing playoff game, scoring more than 13 points in 32 games, and also had 7.2 rebounds and 5.9 assists. Compared with Michael Jordan's dominance in the playoffs back then, he was not far behind.

When the spotlight is on again, the brightly lit Chicago United Center ushered in another big battle!
Although the Chicago Bulls don't have the upper limit of talent like the New York Knicks, under the guidance of Thibodeau, the team is orderly and the chemical reaction is better.

At the beginning of the game, the Chicago Bulls made a mid-range jumper from Carlos Boozer at the [-]th position. After recuperating for a few days, the ankle injury of David Lee was fine. In this round, because The opponent's lineup changed, and David Lee also came to the starting four position.

The crooked machine gun Carlos Boozer's shooting is really stable. Although after coming to the Chicago Bulls, the possession of the ball has dropped sharply, but Boozer's efficiency value has not decreased!

It is still the old opponent Ruhr Deng's defense. The Chicago Bulls' defensive strategy is very clear, that is, they do not give Zhou Lin the space to shoot. They are very aware of Zhou Lin's habits. Once Zhou Lin opens outside the three-point line, then this game It was out of control, and Zhou Lin's three-pointer seemed to be the barometer of the game.

After all, the Chicago Bulls still have Joakim Noah, Taj Gibson, and Osim Asik, three defense-oriented insiders. They are really not afraid of Zhou Lin's constant attack on the inside.

The most important thing is that Zhou Lin has a facial injury after all, so he has some psychological barriers to attacking the inside line.

Actually it works pretty well.

The Chicago Bulls only gave some difficult shots. Zhou Lin scored 5 of 1 and only scored 3 points.

As for the Bulls, Derrick Rose rushed to the inside again and again, throwing himself in the air again and again, wrapping up the MVP trend, Rose's performance was exceptionally good.

Of course, this is also because of the current lineup system. Joakim Noah, Carlos Boozer, Taj Gibson, and the inside line of the Chicago Bulls are all players with pick-and-roll threats, except for the blue-collar Axi who is hardly used. gram.

The so-called pick-and-roll threat is the threat of the players themselves. Needless to say, Boozer, who was once the beneficiary of the Utah Jazz's pick-and-roll, played the pick-and-roll clearly when he was in the Utah Jazz. In addition, Joakim Noah, It has the ability to support the ball. After blocking, you must give part of your attention to Joakim Noah, and although Noah has a weird shooting posture, he has a hand-to-hand distance after all, and Taj Gibson, although The arrival of Boozer this season has caused his playing time to drop sharply, but in addition to his defensive ability, his pie-eating quality is also top-notch!
The Bobcats want Jrue Holiday to cover Derrick Rose like they did to Steph Curry last round, but you want Jrue Holiday to completely give the Bulls the center of their offense It’s almost impossible to get it right. For one thing, the low post tactics are different. From receiving the ball, there are many tactics for Derrick Rose. If Holiday can catch up, I’ll give you another pick and roll. And once it's not a small man defending Rose, Rose's speed is almost beyond the reach of opponents. This is also the second reason. Derrick Rose's personal ability is difficult to compare with Stephen Curry at this stage. , Derrick Rose's absolute defense-breaking ability is much stronger than Stephen Curry at this stage!

首节比赛，德里克.罗斯星耀全场，拿到12分2助攻3篮板，同时也让球队以29-24领先夏洛特山猫队5分结束首节！
In the second quarter, the bench lineup of the Charlotte Bobcats did not help to get points back. Kyle Cavour's two three-pointers even once made the Chicago Bulls' score advantage come to 15 points, but Chicago The Bulls weren't happy for long.

Zhou Lin's lost game feeling in the first quarter came quickly in the second quarter. After blocking Ronnie Brewer's layup, Zhou Lin completed a chasing three-pointer, followed by another one-stop kill Going inside, facing Ty Gibson's block, he smashed the basketball into the basket!
This ball is also announcing that Zhou Lin is starting to play hard, you give me space to attack the inside line, then I will show you!

And not long after Zhou Lin broke out, Brandon Roy's touch came next. After the pick-and-roll, continuous small hits, under the block of Joakim Noah's long arm, Brandon Roy Repeatedly staged shooting textbook-like mid-range shots!
In the middle of the second quarter, the Charlotte Bobcats played a 15-5 climax, instantly narrowing the point difference to 5 points.

The return of Derrick Rose has slightly eased the momentum of scoring.

What should be said is that before Derrick Rose was injured, he was really terrifying. He didn't change his speed in disguise. Dee can only eat Derek Rose's car exhaust!
And it has repeatedly staged a good show of folding dunks!

Seeing that the Chicago Bulls seemed to have another climax, Zhou Lin stood up again, facing Luol Deng's close defense, and directly made two defensive fouls, so Luol Deng could only be obedient The presence of rest.

Without Ruhr Deng, a player who can match him in terms of size and speed, Zhou Lin undoubtedly played more comfortably. Ronnie Brewer, who is 2 meters tall, suffers too much in terms of size. Zhou Lin This side kept asking for the ball in the interior. After hammering Brewer, Boozer helplessly started to help defend, but this help defense was like dominoes, and Zhou Lin immediately gave him a cut. or Boozer's defender David Lee.

Whether it is a cutting player or David Lee, it is easy to succeed!
The Chicago Bulls have pressed the gourd and picked up the scoop!

This is because a single point was completely blasted, and it was almost difficult for Zhou Lin to limit it!

62-55, the Charlotte Bobcats have gained a 7-point lead.

However, after returning from the timeout, the offense of the Chicago Bulls began to look better. Bogans scored 5 points in a row, and Joakim Noah did not shoot a three-pointer in several games. basket.

The score was overtaken again, and Zhou Lin's three-pointer in the third quarter was a bit inaccurate, and the Chicago Bulls also realized this. Ruhr Deng himself had committed a lot of fouls.

A power outage early in the third quarter also cost the Charlotte Bobcats in the third quarter!

83-88, the Chicago Bulls entered the fourth quarter with a 3-point lead!

However, Zhou Lin's self-adjustment ability was also revealed at this moment.

Since the three-pointer is not allowed, then it is better not to shoot. Zhou Lin keeps asking for the ball in the low post, and opportunities from the weak side continue to appear. Zhou Lin has always been in the area below the free throw line to catch the ball.

Luer Deng, who did not foul in the third quarter, also became a little bit bigger in this quarter. Zhou Lin also cleverly found Luer Deng's fouls in a row, and walked to the free throw line three times in a row!

All 6 free throws were made!
Ruhr Deng, who had only 2 fouls, received 3 consecutive fouls within 3 minutes, which also made Thibodeau question the referee's whistle!

And the referee can't stand this kind of complaints, since you choose to question me, then I invite you to taste the taste of technical fouls!

Zhou Lin scored another 1 point at the free throw line!
In this game, Zhou Lin is definitely the beneficiary of the referee's penalty, and so far, he has made 12 of 12 free throws, and he has scored 12 points on the free throw line alone!
It was an unexpected surprise. After all, this is the home court of the Chicago Bulls. However, in terms of position, even Derrick Rose is incomparable with Zhou Lin. After all, Zhou Lin is a four-time All-Star, a top-salary player, and a scorer. King, championship, and FMVP titles combined are definitely not comparable to a regular season MVP who is still on a rookie contract!

It is also reasonable to give a whistle.

They were still in the lead at first, but they were pulled back to the same level abruptly by Zhou Lin's consecutive free throws, and in this situation, the Chicago Bulls began to get a little impatient, and Derrick Rose continued to attack inside. Can score 2 points and 2 points, but it is obvious that Derrick Rose, who has played for nearly 40 minutes and only rested for 3 minutes and 45 seconds, has entered a period of fatigue!

During the third attack, the ball was taken away by Zhu Huoledi!
Brandon Roy's outburst was the last straw that broke the camel's back!
Steady three mid-range shots allowed the Charlotte Bobcats to lead by 45 points 109-105 with 4 seconds left in the game!

The current Chicago Bulls have a chance to catch up, as long as they score one and defend one, then they have a chance to turn defeat into victory.

And the team also sent Korver as an outside contact point.

But the Chicago Bulls had a problem with the sideline kick in the century problem. Tyson Chandler slapped Joakim Noah for fear of losing the ball. In the floor ball competition, Jrue Holiday After getting the ball, it was directly given to Zhou Lin on one side, and Zhou Lin dunked successfully!
44 seconds, 111-105, the Chicago Bulls only have a theoretical chance to comeback!
And they first made a quick three-pointer before they had a last chance, and the Charlotte Bobcats quickly hated the opponent's advance and didn't let the opponent shoot a quick three-pointer!

Although Korver eventually made that three-pointer, it almost ran out of shot clock.

The subtle time of 23.2 seconds prevented the Chicago Bulls from choosing foul tactics.

It's Zhou Lin again!

Against the boos of the audience, he made two free throws!

And Derrick Rose made a mistake in the pass, which ruined their last chance to comeback!

113-108, the Charlotte Bobcats took the lead in the away game!

Derrick Rose scored 39 points and 7 assists!

而周林这一场比赛，虽然投篮只有19投7中，但是靠着15次罚球全中，也拿到了30分7篮板8助攻！
