This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 441 Ross is injured, the series loses suspense
Now the question is on the side of the Chicago Bulls, should they continue to target Zhou Lin, or change their strategy again? After all, in G3, which has a strategic position, the Chicago Bulls lost to the entire Charlotte Bobcats team, not to Zhou Lin. Forest!

A stripped-down version of the 'Jordan Rule' may not apply to the Charlotte Bobcats, who have more and better scorers.

However, for the Chicago Bulls who are fighting to the death, they can often explode with amazing energy!
"We have no retreat, we will play all the balls we should play, and return to Tianwangshan in Chicago with a score of 2-2!"

Derek Rose was concise and concise as always. He is not a guy who is good at big speeches. His personality is restrained, but his determination can be heard from his words!
Today's Chicago Bulls chose some retro black pinstriped jerseys in the 90s, as if they wanted to use this method to awaken the team's fighting spirit, and the guy who once wore this color jersey to fight and become a god, also dragged Cheeks, looking forward to this game!

The winner will not change his strategy easily. The Charlotte Bobcats maintained their previous lineup. Instead, the Chicago Bulls moved the taller Ronnie Brewer to the second position. The overall height of the lineup is very high. Except for Derrick Rose, all players are over 2 meters high.

In the last game, Keith Bogans' individual defense against Brandon Roy was not effective, which is why Ronnie Brewer was brought up.

Different from the past, in this game, Joakim Noah was the first player to score, one was a slam dunk after the pick-and-roll, and the other was a second rebound.

As the No. [-] tactical core, Noah's scoring ability is worthy of criticism. He can bring defense and support, but when the team needs to bite the score and get points, Noah's scoring is still very good. Importantly, the Charlotte Bobcats basically gave Noah's outside shots. In the matchup with Tyson Chandler, Noah actually didn't have much of an advantage!

Tyson Chandler didn't always complain about Noah's softie after the game. This season, Noah entered the second defensive team, and Tyson Chandler lost the list after being nominated with a huge disadvantage. It is also reasonable, after all, the Bulls' record is there. Except for the best rookie, other awards issued by the NBA must take the team's record into consideration.

Just like Zhou Lin, although he won the scoring title, he still fell on the second team in the selection of the best team, which was lower than LeBron James and Kevin Durant. As for Brandon Roy in the second team, he simply didn't even make it to the third team.

Tyson Chandler's mouthpiece is also famous in the NBA.

In terms of average data per game, except for assists, Tyson Chandler is a head higher than Joakim Noah, and Tyson Chandler is indeed tougher than Noah, probably because of the name. Let's go Tyson.

However, today's Noah is more active in asking for the ball than in the previous few games, and the position with Tyson Chandler is also approaching white-hot.

It is not surprising that the Chicago Bulls, who were behind, had a strong start. In this game, Zhou Lin took off his mask not long after the game started, and he wore it for less than 20 days. According to the doctor's advice, , Zhou Lin had better wear this mask for the rest of the game, but Zhou Lin is very uncomfortable, NBA force has some psychological hints, for example, the coach wears this shirt, the game wins, then He will continue to wear this shirt in the next game. If the coach wins the game without a tie, the coach will not wear a tie in the next game.

Jordan, the god of the ball, also has a lot of his own little hobbies. In addition to the well-known liking to stick out his tongue, Jordan has another little-known hobby, that is, he has to change into the shorts of North Carolina University before every game.For the University of North Carolina, Jordan has a deep obsession, so even after entering the NBA, Jordan still likes things with North Carolina elements, such as his private jet, which has North Carolina colors on it.After entering the NBA, Jordan must wear North Carolina shorts in his shorts in every game, which has also formed a habit.

In the 7 games after Zhou Lin wore the mask, Zhou Lin made a total of 34 of 9 three-pointers, and his shooting percentage was less than 27%. This also made Zhou Lin feel very uncomfortable. He attributed all this to the mask. This is also a psychological hint.

And after the second three-pointer missed, Zhou Lin directly pulled off the mask, as if he had lifted his own seal!
The TV screen is also constantly repeating this scene.

Sure enough, after wearing the mask, Zhou Lin, who made 36 of 9 shots and shot 25% from the field, made the first three-pointer directly after taking off the mask.

"Our god, Zhou Lin is back!"

The DJ on the spot immediately roared loudly, of course this is also putting pressure on the visiting team!

Not just three points!
There is a breakthrough!

Although the Chicago Bulls at the moment put on a defense of shrinking the inside, but this time Zhou Lin rushed into the inside without hesitation.

Facing a mountain of defensive players, Zhou Lin jumped high and shot with a straight arm. Zhou Lin's throwing the basketball into the basket!

Zhou Lin scored 5 points in a row, and Thibodeau immediately called a timeout. He was not worried about other people's performance, but what he was most afraid of was the momentum of the opponent's leader!

Zhou Lin gave Brandon Roy a high-five. In these few games, he has been overwhelmed by the Chicago Bulls' double-team defense and the shackles of the mask.

Now I can breathe a sigh of relief.

Barkley, who was in the TNT live broadcast room, said: "This is what a superstar should do. If your goal is only to become a good player, you only need to beat your opponent one-on-one. It’s ok, but when your goal is to become a superstar and become the GOAT of the era, you have to face more difficulties, even if the opponent sets many traps, and what you have to do is not to overcome those obstacles, because In that case, you will take a long way. What you have to do is to step down all these obstacles. Zhou Lin has already won an NBA championship, and also won the FMVP. Maybe he will win the MVP in the next few years , but this is far from enough, if this year's Zhou Lin can lead the team to win the championship, then the gold content of this championship will be three times higher than last year's gold content, enough to be a god!"

As soon as Barkley's remarks came out, the visual language on the scene was also powerful enough, and it was immediately given to Michael Jordan!

Now Zhou Lin, the goal is no longer a star, but Michael Jordan!
Among Charles Barkley's high-spirited speeches, the first quarter of the game is over!
The Charlotte Bobcats ended the first quarter with a 34-27 lead of 7 points!
Unlike the previous games, Zhou Lin scored 13 points efficiently in the first quarter today!
And the cameras on the scene kept focusing on Derek Rose. When Zhou Lin scored 13 points, Derek Rose scored 14 points!
Although it is not a direct alignment, but there is a feeling of the needle tip against the wheat awn!
On the other side of CCTV's live broadcast, Huashan Lunjian was used to describe the match.

"Now, it's an unreserved game, and now we have to show everything we can!"

Derrick Rose, who played 12 minutes in the first quarter, went straight to the top in the second quarter. Fortunately, Derrick Rose is young and durable enough, otherwise, other players would have already Complaints abound.

In the last game, Derek Rose had cramps!

It seems that there is also some deliberate preservation of physical fitness. In most of the second quarter, Derrick Rose played the role of a traditional point guard, and the engine was turned down a little bit, and there was no direct 120 yards. Hurricane, 80 yards per hour, can give Derrick Rose a little rest.

As a new aid this season, Carlos Boozer was also given high hopes when he was traded to the Chicago Bulls, but in the last game, Carlos Boozer only scored 10 points, and faced What's right is Zhou Lin's defense, or it's not that Carlos Boozer can't score, but that the opportunity will not come to him, and it is not particularly well bonded with the team's overall offense.

If it weren't for the top record, then Carlos Boozer, who averaged less than 17 points per game, won the first salary in the team, and he would definitely be criticized as high salary and low ability!
Derrick Rose restrained his edge a bit, and when Luol Deng frequently lost defenses on the outside, Carlos Boozer finally played some value.

Even in one round, he pushed Zhou Lin away and dunked successfully. In recent years, Boozer has seldom played so violently. He is a bit too cherishing of his body, or he wants to use his body to earn a few more years. go ahead.

In fact, since entering the league, Boozer has more or less felt like playing for money. The same is true for leaving the Cavaliers and the Jazz. It is not that making money is wrong, but that he is reaching this level. Loyalty is not enough when an annual salary of tens of millions can be earned anywhere.

However, Carlos Boozer also knows that if he is still shooting slippery offensively, he is afraid that he will be criticized by the fans.

Basically in the second quarter, Carlos Boozer took over the torch from Derrick Rose, and his strength on the offensive end prevented Zhou Lin from continuing to shine. Zhou Lin's 3 fouls were all committed on the card On Ross Boozer!
54-52, at the end of the half, the Chicago Bulls had caught up with the score.

The third quarter is the best quarter for the Charlotte Bobcats, and it is also the most psychologically determined quarter. Zhu Holiday, who scored a three-pointer in the first half, made the first open shot in the third quarter. Just hit it, after returning to the home court, Holiday has already made 4 three-pointers!
All the Charlotte Bobcats' benches were overjoyed. Derek Fisher's eyeballs were bulging. After seeing his junior Holiday make the shot, he immediately raised three fingers high!
A swath of the Charlotte Bobcats bench waving the towel!

Not only that, McGrady also dreamed of returning to the top. After passing Carlos Boozer in one step, facing Asik's supplementary defense, he directly pushed the ball into the basket.

What a picture of Ye Qinghui!
Although the height of the pick is a little lower, and there is almost no gliding distance, but seeing McGrady playing like this, many fans are in tears!
The offensive momentum of the Charlotte Bobcats is like a flood.

And Zhou Lin finally fired. Faced with Ruhr Deng's pressing defense, he pulled up directly. Outside the three-point line, he hit the board and all stood up. It's time for the referee to send the whistle!

3+1!

The sky was filled with shouts of MVP, Derek Rose had his hips akimbo, how unwilling it was!
Thibodeau's timeout is still a little late!
The Charlotte Bobcats played an 11-0 climax, directly opening up to 13 points in the second half.

"Now we have everything, the Charlotte Bobcats have half a foot in the Finals again!"

The commentator of CCTV, this time also said without reservation!
However, the new MVP is not reconciled!

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a lone brave man who created the heartland of the Charlotte Bobcats alone!

All kinds of pull-up layups, even the fans of the opponent, the audience in the Time Warner Center Arena at home, gave Derrick Rose applause from time to time!
But just like Derek Rose's ill-fated fate, the most dazzling moment is the moment of falling.

After a layup, Derrick Rose had physical contact with Brandon Roy, and fell to the ground with a bang. Derek Rose covered his shoulders, and did not stand up for a long time. The other hand slapped The floor of the stadium.

He knows that this year's playoff journey is... over at this moment!

Derek Rose followed the team doctor out of the arena with a painful expression. At this moment, the fans of the Bobcats generously gave applause of relief!
Derrick Rose ended with 21 points and 6 assists!

But a game is a game, and it is extremely cruel. The end of Derrick Rose, the Charlotte Bobcats will not restrain themselves because of approval or pity, but will attack more violently!
In the third quarter, the Charlotte Bobcats exploded again, scoring 35 points in a single quarter.

89-77, the Charlotte Bobcats entered the fourth quarter with a 12-point advantage.

Although the Bulls still want to struggle, Derrick Rose cannot return to expose the slightly barren offensive ability of other players!

In the end, the final whistle sounded, 112-98, the Charlotte Bobcats scored 14 points at home, and then took the Chicago Bulls.

There is only one victory left to enter the finals!

As far as the Chicago Bulls are concerned, Derrick Rose will not be able to return to the series in all likelihood, and their playoff journey seems to be coming to an end!
