This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 440 Struggle to cramp, Roy is unable to resist defeat!
This year's Eastern and Western finals are very stalemate. In the first two games, the Charlotte Bobcats and the Chicago Bulls, the Los Angeles Lakers and the Oklahoma City Thunder all drew 1-1.

For the team with the first two home court advantages, the next two away games are undoubtedly extremely dangerous.

For the Charlotte Bobcats, the G3 game also needs to make certain changes. It needs to be better prepared from a psychological and tactical point of view. Regarding how to deal with the opponent's flanking Zhou Lin, the team will have a lot of problems. The impact of dominating the ball and giving the ball to the person who is most suitable for shooting.

Another point to consider, though, is that it's now home to the Charlotte Bobcats.

Some methods that can be used in G2 may not be used by the Bulls on the road.

The Chicago Bulls are indeed a very good defensive team. The same tactics will not work in different teams. If you let the Minnesota Timberwolves, who are still displaying bad flags, use the same tactics to limit Zhou Lin, sure Get beat up by the Charlotte Bobcats.

Position selection is critical, as are defensive habits. In a strong team, under Thibodeau's training, tactics can be implemented to the end.

Game 3 is critical for both the Charlotte Bobcats and the Chicago Bulls.

Before the game, under the guidance of the team's shooting coach, Zhu Holiday made a lot of practice three-pointers in a row before the game, and the TV broadcast screen was also broadcast to this point.

Zhu Holiday's shooting was one of the reasons for the last defeat. He made 9 of 2 shots and made four shots from the outside. At the critical moment, you don’t even dare to shoot. If the ball is given to you and the opponent releases you, if you hesitate to shoot, they will dare to double-team your teammates recklessly!

A series of butterfly effects was also the key to the last defeat.

And the three-point shooting rate of less than [-]% of the overall three-point shooting rate is also worth pondering. After all, the opponent adopts the outside play method of locking the basket. You got a lot of open opportunities on the outside, but you didn't grasp it!
In this game, the Charlotte Bobcats also made another change. Tracy McGrady entered the starting lineup, and Zhou Lin was promoted to the fourth position.

This is a very positive change. Although McGrady's personal ability has seriously degraded, he averaged only 6.1 points and 2.9 assists per game. Of course, his playing time has reached a new low of 15.6 minutes in recent years. McGrady came up to add one more Shooting points, and McGrady can hold the ball, which means that the current Charlotte Bobcats have the ability to hold the ball at four points.

The game started amidst the noise made by Charlotte Bobcats fans!
Zhou Lin went to the [-]th position. The Chicago Bulls first started to play from the inside. You Zhou Lin defended Boozer at the [-]th position, and I let Boozer consume you. Zhou Lin’s body shape and Boozer It is similar to Zhou Lin, slightly thinner, and slightly disadvantaged in confrontation, but in a five-on-five game, this small gap does not need to be included in the calculation. Carlos Boozer wants to beat Zhou Lin. Almost impossible.

But the idea of ​​the Chicago Bulls is also very simple, let Carlos Boozer consume you in the matchup, if you want to defend me, I will attack you.

This strategy is actually somewhat effective. With Boozer's domineering body and his crooked machine gun shots, Zhou Lin really doesn't have a particularly good defense.

On the offensive end of Zhou Lin, the Chicago Bulls will naturally not allow the slow Carlos Boozer to top Zhou Lin. Too much faster, after all, one is the speed of the second position, and the other is the speed of the fourth position!
Ruhr Deng will switch to the opposite side of Zhou Lin, and Boozer will look at McGrady who doesn't have much ball possession and is currently suffering from injuries. To be honest, when did McGrady receive such treatment? Put it first, if you Boozer comes to defend me, I will go inside with a meteor stride!

The Chicago Bulls still wanted to carry out the game trend of smothering Zhou Lin in the last game, thus causing the entire team to collapse, but they forgot that this is the home court of the Charlotte Bobcats!

There is also a superstar Brandon Roy in the stadium. Brandon Roy is also a real home dragon. He scores nearly 5 points more at home than away and shoots 7 percentage points more.

This is also related to Roy's style of play. Roy's three-point shooting rate is basically maintained between 33-35%. It can only be said that the three-pointer is a weapon, not an absolute Brandon Roy is a real mid-range killer. Compared with Zhou Lin, Roy's offensive hotspot is much smaller, and in the middle distance, it means that there will be more physical contact , to this area, the defense against your opponent's containment of your body will increase.

First of all, the small gap between the home basket and the away basket, or the psychological difference, also allows Roy to shoot more stably. In addition, the referee's whistle scale is the same. But the world is different. Although Roy is not the kind of player who relies on the referee's whistle to go to the free throw line to score points, having a whistle or not having a whistle will also affect the player's emotions at the psychological level!

Now, it is time for the three-pointer and mid-range to take over the baton as the main scoring method. The three-pointer is showing signs of flourishing, while the traditional mid-range technique is gradually declining.

And today, Brandon Roy showed off what is called a game that can kill with 2 points.

Bogans, who was transferred from the Magic, has been teammates with Tracy McGrady twice. With his diligent defense and game attitude, he has won one contract after another, but Bogans is still just an inconspicuous It's just a small role. On this night, he is destined to become Brandon Roy's supporting role.

Being double-teamed in Zhou Lin, although Brandon Roy is not a role to be emptied, at least he will not suffer from double-teaming. As the third shooting guard in the league, he will not be double-teamed, giving him a chance to play singles , that is the mercy of the opponent.

In the first quarter, Keith Bogans was completely blown away.

Brandon Roy scored 9 points on 7 of 16 shots. He didn't make a single three-pointer, all of them were mid-range or layups, and Brandon Roy didn't shoot a three-pointer at all!

At the end of the first quarter, the Charlotte Bobcats lead their opponents by 29 points 22-7!
The Charlotte Bobcats completely took the initiative in the game. Although Zhou Lin still didn't open up, he took only 3 shots, and only relied on the second attack at the basket to score 2 points.

But if you can win the game, why not do it!
In the second quarter, the fiery Brandon Roy was on the court again. This time it was the turn of Ronnie Brewer, who had a better wingspan and was taller, to defend Brandon Roy, but the kill The red-eyed Brandon Roy can make all kinds of difficult shots, as if the basket is like the sea.

The Chicago Bulls are completely in disarray. Although there is no way to kill Brandon Roy on the defensive end, Korver's three-pointer suddenly opened, and the Chicago Bulls are in the most critical situation. In the case, Korver's three-pointer came.

When the score was about to widen to 20 points, Kyle Korver made consecutive three-pointers from the outside!
This player who once only changed a printer is indeed a very good piece of the championship puzzle. With a top assassin like Derrick Rose, the outside sniper is also very important!
Luke Mbah a Moute, who defended Korver, also put more focus on assisting defense, which also led to Korver's investment!
After a 10-2 climax, the point difference narrowed from the original 16 points to 8 points. Larry Brown called a timeout first.

"Our back line is taller than theirs, we can selectively switch defenses, we need someone to stand in front of the opponent every time they take a shot, we have to move faster, and we can't let the opponent have an empty basket! "

Larry Brown can allow opponents to score magically, because those are the personal abilities of the players, but what he cannot allow is that opponents get open shots consecutively.

Larry Brown's pass said, unsurprisingly, it really worked, and the Charlotte Bobcats woke up all of a sudden.

After returning, let the opponent fail to score for four or five rounds in a row!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Charlotte Bobcats played a 6-0 climax, and Brandon Roy went down to rest!
Everyone thought this was an opportunity for the Chicago Bulls, because the reason the Charlotte Bobcats were defeated in the last game was that they double-teamed Zhou Lin unscrupulously, and then let Zhou Lin's teammates shoot one after another.

And none of Zhou Lin's teammates made the shot!
The change in this game was due to the hard work of Zhou Lin's teammates. Among them, Zhu Holiday made the first three-pointer in this round of the series from beyond the three-point line. He really did not disappoint the shooting coach. You must know that Holiday's three-point shooting in the previous two games was 6 for 0.

Even Holiday's shooting expression was on the news.

Holliday's shooting confidence was hit. Kobe said that I would rather be 11 for 0 than 10 for 0, because when you are afraid of shooting and question yourself, you are doomed to fail!
Huo Ledi also punched fiercely, as if he was emotional after getting through Ren Du's second channel, and he was muttering something in his mouth!
"It's coming, it's all coming!"

The domestic CCTV live broadcast commentary also said loudly: "Being able to make shots from the outside line will undoubtedly relieve a lot of pressure on Zhou Lin's shoulders. Now, if you double-team Zhou Lin again, you have to bear the danger of letting go of the outside line!"

However, a three-pointer by Holiday was not enough to change the Chicago Bulls' defensive strategy.

But then Tracy McGrady and Luke Mbah a Moute made a three-pointer each, which really put a knife in the heart of the Chicago Bulls!
At the end of the second quarter, the Charlotte Bobcats scored 42 points in the second quarter, also creating the highest score in a single quarter of the series.

With 71-50, the lead came to 21 points!
As the MVP of the new team, he naturally did not give up, but this game is really not good for the Chicago Bulls who are playing on the road. Rose's shortcoming is also obviously that the three-pointer is not stable enough. Although he has improved year after year, Derek. Rose's three-point shooting percentage has reached the highest level this year, and he has just broken 32% of his shooting percentage.

2 points and 2 points, breakthroughs one by one, it is true that the Charlotte Bobcats can't do anything about it. Derek Rose, but after all, the scoring speed is too slow, especially for the team that is behind by a big score in the away game , you can either completely kill the opponent's scoring and play continuous defensive counterattacks, but the problem is your state of the Charlotte Bobcats today, you really can't expect the opponent to make consecutive mistakes and give you opportunities, which is also unrealistic. It's not that the Chicago Bulls don't have three-pointers, but at this critical juncture, can you trust pure pitcher Korver?

Korver's ability to hold the ball is too weak. As long as he sends someone to stick to him, he will not have the ability to create space to shoot by himself, which also determines Korver's upper limit.

Zhou Lin in the last match, and Derek Rose in this match, looked exactly the same.

Moreover, in this kind of deadlock situation, there are indeed not many people who can help Derek Rose. Almost every round of the ball is given to Derek Rose, and Derek Rose is also giving himself time and time again. Throw it into the air.

At the end of the third quarter, although the momentum of the Charlotte Bobcats eased a little in the third quarter, they still held a 94-point lead 75-19.

If the game continues like this, as long as the point difference is a little bigger, the game will enter garbage time, but Derrick Rose did not give up. First, he blocked Derek Fisher, who was older than him, on the offensive end, and then It is a difficult three-pointer.

This also made the Charlotte Bobcats put away the strategy of calling for gold and withdrawing troops. Zhou Lin and Brandon Roy successively appeared on the field and prepared to close the game.

Because there are many leaders, Zhou Lin is also more relaxed here, and he has three-pointers with his hands!
And Derek Rose counterattacked quickly. Although he dunked the ball in, Derek Rose was clutching his calf the next moment, feeling a little uncomfortable!

It turned out to be a cramp!

In this game, Derrick Rose has only rested for less than 50 seconds because of the long lag.

In the end, Derek Rose had a cramp!

But even so, it didn't change the ending.

Although Derrick Rose returned to the court after a brief massage, the overall situation has not changed much.

In the end, the Charlotte Bobcats beat the Chicago Bulls by 120 points at home, 97-23.

夏洛特山猫队三人得分上20，其中布兰登.罗伊在上半场主宰比赛奠定胜时，拿到28分9篮板2助攻，朱.霍乐迪的22分也是刷新了季后赛新高，周林拿到了20分5助攻9篮板！

Derrick Rose struggled to cramps, and finally scored 31 points, 5 rebounds and 2 steals. It was hard to prevent the team from losing!
