Chapter 311 As Big As A Roaring Heavenly Venerable
On the 29th, the Eastern Conference Finals G2 match day.

At noon, the entire Knicks team went directly to Madison Square Garden for training instead of going to the training base, which was too far away, and two or three hours were wasted going back and forth.Before the training, a tactical discussion meeting was held to determine the tactics for tonight.

The old Knicks first determined the low-post offense, just as Zhao Dong considered, Daben and Fortson can only play one, and the other can choose one from Barkley, Dazhi, and Kevin Willis, and it has not been determined yet.

"For the main lineup, we mainly attack in the low post. Feilong can play by himself. In double teams, he can be separated and let the outside line play. The outside line must actively run, pick and roll each other, and create open opportunities."

"Substitute lineup, Flying Dragon in charge, attracting defensive attention from the outside, cutting in from the outside, and attacking and defending the inside. The inside responsible for offense is pulled out to create space for the outside to cut in, and wait for the opportunity to shoot outside."

After determining the tactics, the team began to conduct corresponding tactical coordination drills according to the established tactics, and the tactical drills were not completed until five o'clock.

At this time, there was already a sea of ​​people outside Madison Square Garden.

At seven o'clock, fans began to enter the arena, and by 07:30, the arena was full of seats.

At this time, Old Nelson walked into the locker room and announced the starting lineup for tonight.

"Flying Dragon, Billups, Latrell, Danny Fortson..." After reading four, there was one insider left.

Big Ben was a little disappointed. He looked at his thick wrists, which had lost the feel of shooting.

Fortson was very happy, and smiled towards Da Ben's canthus, causing Da Ben to stare.

Old Nelson glanced at Barkley and saw that Barkley nodded happily. Then he said, "The last one, Wang."

"what!"

Barkley felt tricked, it wasn't me, why is the old guy looking at me all the time?
Dazhi was taken aback, he didn't expect him to start this game.

Zhao Dong didn't expect it, and looked at Old Nelson.

Old Nelson explained: "Wang can pull to the three-point line, and his stretching effect is the best. We need to cut in from the outside to share the pressure of the dragon, and we can't let the Bulls' defense unscrupulously concentrate on him."

After 5 minutes, the two teams announced the starting lineup.

Bulls: Oakley, Rasheed Wallace, McGrady, Jordan and Kidd.

Knicks: Dazhi, Fortson, Zhao Dong, Latrell Sprewell, Billups.

In the ABC live broadcast, Hubie Brown said in surprise: "The Knicks took away Ben Wallace's starting position and gave it to the king of China. What does old Nelson want to do?"

Cook said with a smile: "Maybe he wants to sell Da Ben."

"Haha..." The two laughed loudly.

At the CCTV live broadcast, Zhang Lili and Sun Zhenping were very happy. The former said with a smile: "I have a chance to start in the Eastern Conference Finals. I hope so much that I should cherish it."

Sun Zhenping said: "With this lineup, the interior offense has been strengthened, the defense has been weakened, and the space in the paint has increased, which is conducive to the breakthrough of the outside line and is also conducive to Zhao Dong's offense in the low post."

Zhang Lili said: "Yes, when Rasheed Wallace was taken away by Dazhi, Zhao Dong attacked in the low post. If the Bulls want to double-team him, they can only let Jordan or McGrady go down. If it is a two-one-two defense, at most The opportunity is McGrady.

But if the Knicks make a weak-side breakthrough from the outside at this time, it will distract the Bulls' defense and make it more difficult for them to double-team Zhao Dong, otherwise Zhao Dong's pass will kill them. "

"The pass is the best when the outside line cuts in, and the success rate is the highest." Sun Zhenping said.

"Yes, it's close to the basket." Zhang Lili smiled.

In the locker room of the visiting team at this time, after getting the Knicks' starting list, Phil Jackson immediately began to analyze the tactics that the Knicks might play.

"Fortson can also pull away, but the utilization rate is not high. He should protect the rebounds under the basket. To win Ben Wallace, who is better defensively, must also take advantage of Fortson's stronger rebounding ability."

"Wang should be pulled out, so that Rashid is taken away, and our basket will be empty. At this time, it will be more difficult for the Knicks to help defend him, whether it is cutting in from the outside or flying in the low post. .”

After the analysis, he began to make some changes to the arranged tactics, and at the same time began to prepare various countermeasures.

At ten past eight, the starting lineup begins.

"Hey, Dragon."

"Hey, Hakim."

After Zhao Dong came out, he went to greet Dameng on the sidelines.

"Old man, I have a three-year contract with the Knicks, and I plan to play a dynasty here before retiring." Barkley patted Dameng on the shoulder and shouted.

"Do you lie on the hospital bed and watch your teammates help you play Dynasty?" Dameng complained.

"Nonsense, I've been doing really well this year." Barkley said unconvinced.

"That's because you didn't play much in the regular season, and it's the same in the first two rounds of the playoffs. If you are still in Houston, you can play [-] out of [-] games." Dameng joked.

"Old guy, can't you say something nice? After all, I'm going to get the ring." Barkley said unhappily.

"Then I wish you the core status to get the ring." Dameng said sincerely.

"..."

Barkley was speechless, I still have the core strength, do I have the face to come to the Knicks to hug the dragon's thigh?

At 08:30, the game begins.

Fortson jumps the ball and the Knicks attack.

Fortson goes to the basket, facing Oakley.

Big enough to pull to the right corner and take away Rasheed Wallace.

Jordan and Kidd are on the perimeter, McGrady is at the top of the free throw line and in the area of ​​the free throw line, and the Bulls have set up a two-one-two defensive formation.

At this time, Zhao Dong, who was playing off the ball, suddenly started on the left-wing three-point line and entered the flank.

The Bulls quickly shrank their defense, and even Rasheed Wallace returned to the paint area, and at this time there was a big gap there.

Billups passed the ball quickly, until he caught the ball, and when the roaring Tianzun returned to the defense, he made a three-point jumper.

Rasheed Wallace was still two steps away, and he could only extend his hand symbolically.

"brush!"

Splashes appeared and a three-pointer was hit.

"yeah!"

The first goal scored a three-pointer, and the home fans gave warm cheers.

Hubie Brown praised: "The Knicks played a beautiful offensive coordination, the inside was pulled out, the dragon cut in to compress the Bulls' defense, and then there was a big open outside.

Now the Bulls have to make a choice. With this cooperation, whether to choose to return to defense, or not to return to defense, or to quickly make up defense.

However, it is too difficult to defend the King of China. His height cannot be defended by the Bulls' outside line. "

The Bulls attack, and now they are in the frontcourt.

It is also a two-one-two defense, with Zhao Dong guarding the middle.

His defensive task today is very heavy, because Daben is not there, he not only has to prevent the opponent's outside breakthrough, assist the two wings, and defend the basket.

The Bulls also opened up their tactics, and Rasheed also had a three-pointer. He pulled to the right-wing three-point line.

Oakley's offense is basically on the outside, he doesn't have any low-post offensive ability, and he is not tall enough, so he also pulled it out.

In this way, the Bulls' stretching tactics were more thorough than the Knicks' stretching tactics. Both insiders were pulled out, and the Knicks' basket was empty, leaving only Zhao Dong on top.

At this time, Jordan suddenly started on the right wing and quickly cut into the paint.

"The same tactics!" Zhang Lili shouted.

However, although the Bulls also played the same open cut tactics, the Knicks' defensive response was different.

The defensive tactics formulated by Xiao Fan, when the Bulls cut in from the outside line, the defense line did not shrink, only Zhao Dong began to sink.

In this way, the Bulls' outside lines, including the two major inside lines drawn out, have no chance to get open.

In Kidd's field of vision, there was no open space on the outside line. At this time, Jordan cut into the paint area, and he pushed the ball in with his hand.

The ball was passed very quickly, a scalpel-style through ball, just trying to catch him off guard.

Because the Knicks did not shrink the defense, the defensive formation was stretched wide, and he did not consider the problem that the pass would be intercepted.

However, the ball was still broken.

Zhao Dong sank with his back to the basket, and his defensive judgment on Kidd, the ball-handler, was either to Jordan or to shoot himself.

He can't control Kidd's own shot, that's Billups' business, but it's his business to give Jordan, so he is ready to cut into the passing lane before Kidd passes the ball.

That is, the distance of one step. Based on the prediction, at the moment Kidd passed the ball, he stepped out with one step, stretched his long arms, and quickly completed the cut, just in time to steal the ball.

"Damn!"

Jordan, who was reaching out to catch the ball, cursed angrily, and rushed towards Zhao Dong above.

Zhao Dong raised his left hand to steal the ball, avoiding Jordan's grabbing the ball, and threw the ball again with one hand, giving the ball to Billups, and then began to play quickly.

Billups quickly advanced to the basket and was defended by Kidd. He pulled to the left wing, and Zhao Dong came in at this time.

Oakley and Rashid returned to defend from the wings, and their speed was already slower than Zhao Dong, but this time it was even slower, and it was too late to return to the basket, so Jordan had to follow Zhao Dong by himself.

Billups made a pass to the basket, Zhao Dong carried Jordan and flew up, catching the ball with one hand with his left hand, and with a bang, it slammed into the Bulls' basket.

"Beautiful empty dunk!"

The live commentator excitedly started his commentary.

Hubie Brown analyzed: "Faced with the same offensive tactics, the Knicks and Bulls' defensive responses were just the opposite. They did not shrink, but the Dragon guarded the basket alone.

But judging from this ball, the effect is not bad. Flying Dragon has no defense against Jordan. He defends the ball, because his position is on the top, which can effectively cut off the passing and receiving line between the in-cut Jordan and the top of the arc. This is A nice idea. "

Cook laughed: "What I want to say is that the Knicks' coaching staff is a good team. Old Nelson has the best offensive talent, and Jeff Van Gundy and Thibodeau, who learned from Pat Riley, are also good for the ball. The team provided the defense."

Hubie Brown said with a smile: "One offense and one defense, so Phil Jackson should have a headache. He doesn't have as good a coaching team as old Nelson."

The Bulls' offense was still an inside cut tactic, but Kidd passed the ball before Jordan had cut into the paint area, and then Jordan made an emergency stop for a jumper and hit a goal.

Looking back, when the Knicks attacked, it was also Zhao Dong who played the inside cut tactic. The Bulls still used the original defensive tactics, quickly shrinking the defense, and would rather let the outside get a chance than let him cut inside smoothly.

This time, Billups passed to Zhao Dong. Facing the Bulls' shrinking defense, Zhao Dong gave the ball to Dazhi who got an open space.

It was as big as another three-pointer from the right bottom corner, and with a bang, he hit an open three-pointer again.

"Beautiful, as big as two open three-pointers in a row, is his hand feeling going to explode today?" Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.

Phil Jackson glanced at Dazhi, and after thinking for a while, he did not change the established defensive strategy.

That is to say, when facing Zhao Dong's attack on the paint area, he chose to let Roaring Tianzun go back to the paint area with all his strength, because his main defensive focus was Zhao Dong who cut inside to the basket.

A super scorer who cuts to the basket, and a role player-level center who pulls to the outside, his choice is the former.

"Rashid, don't give him a big space."

Of course, it is impossible to completely empty, only a small space, he shouted.

After 2 minutes, Dazhi got open again, Zhao Dong still chose to split the ball and gave it to Dazhi, but Rasheed Wallace couldn't return to the defense in time, and Dazhi shot again.

"brush!"

Splashes appeared, three-pointers.

"Beautiful, as big as three yuan in a row, the bull was shot by him!" Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.

Phil Jackson frowned, looked at the score, 8:13, only 4 minutes, the Bulls fell behind by 5 points.

The difference of 5 points is not a big problem, and there is no problem with the tactics. He calmly chose to continue the original tactics, did not change the tactics, and did not call a timeout easily.

Seeing that Jackson didn't say anything, Jordan on the court could only continue the game according to the original tactics.

In the next few minutes, Jackson was happy with his decision, because Zhao Dong continued to pass the ball to Dazhi, who was very hot, but under Rashid's quick return defense, Dazhi, who only got a small open space, missed two shots in a row Remember the gap, 12:13, the Bulls are only one point behind.

Zhang Lili was surprised and said: "The bull is too bold, even hit three three-pointers in a row, and dare to let him go?"

Sun Zhenping said: "It's a pity that these two three-pointers missed, Roaring Tianzun's movement is really fast."

"Flying dragon..."

Old Nelson didn't call a timeout either, he yelled at the field, and then made a tactical gesture at Zhao Dong.

Zhao Dong nodded, expressing his understanding.

The Knicks attacked, Billups advanced in the backcourt, Zhao Dong and Dazhi came to the frontcourt, the former said: "Dazhi, let's play at the basket to cooperate, you pull out first, and then back cut on the weak side.

If you cut to the basket, use your height and pace advantages at the basket, or attract the defense and then pass the ball. "

"I see, Brother Dong." Dazhi said quickly.

This time, Zhao Dong still made an inward cut from the left wing, and Da Zhi and Fortson pulled out left and right. When he cut in, the Bulls quickly shrank.

He took a step outside the paint and pulled up on the edge of the lane.

At this time, Oakley jumped in front of him, McGrady on top also jumped to the upper side, and Rashid, who returned to defense, also returned to the basket.

However, Da Zhi also followed Rashid back and formed a back cut for the latter.

Zhao Dong jumped up high and threw a one-handed throw. The ball flew over the fingertips of Oakley who blocked the block from the jump.

Rasheed Wallace at the basket also jumped up instinctively, but he stretched out his hand and missed it. The ball was too fast and flew past him.

"No, back!"

He was startled, and turned around quickly when he landed, but he was already slow.

As big as one step to catch the ball in the right line of the paint area, and after a further step, he flew up, holding the ball in his left hand, and facing the roaring Tianzun who was turning around under the basket, he made a one-handed dunk.

"boom!"

"Di!"

At the same time as the basket was smashed, the referee blew his whistle and pointed at Rasheed Wallace, making a gesture to block the foul.

"yeah!"

The dunk was successful, and Dazhi roared excitedly.

"Beautiful! On the 45th, the king of China roared Tianzun through the dunk, and scored two plus one. The king of China made 6 of 4 shots in the start and 5 of 3 three-pointers. He has scored 11 points. He is currently the Knicks scoring leader in this game .”

Amidst the cheers of the audience, the on-site commentator roared excitedly.

"The ball was played beautifully. Zhao Dong attracted double-teams on the left wing, so much so that he pulled out and then cut back. The Bulls' defense was not on him at all, so he just did it." Sun Zhenping said excitedly.

Zhang Lili said happily: "The cooperation between Zhao Dong and Dazhi should be played like this, full of Zhao Dong's ability to attract double teams, as well as Dazhi's height and skills at the basket.

In the past, Big Ben and Fortson were under the basket. He had no offensive ability and couldn't get in from the outside line. Zhao Dong could only pass the ball to the outside line, and he also shot from the outside line.

Now to cooperate with Dazhi, Dazhi should play more at the basket, so that the success rate will be higher.Like the three three-pointers just now, you can hit them, but you can’t hit them often. You can see that if you miss two shots in the back, the shooting percentage will drop, and the shooting percentage at the basket is still high.Zhao Dong passing the ball to the basket is much more cost-effective than passing the ball outside. "

On the court, Zhao Dong and Da Zhi clapped hands in celebration.

"Remember, when the Bulls let you go, don't stretch too far, stay closer to the basket, and keep the opportunity to cut into the basket at any time." Zhao Dong urged.

As soon as he got to the defensive end, he reminded him again: "Da Zhi, you can play offensively, but you have to work hard on the defensive end. The performance on the defensive end determines whether you can become a first-class center."

"Understood, Brother Dong."

Dazhi nodded heavily.

As big as an additional penalty hit, the Bulls attacked.

Jordan made a breakthrough with the ball and was double-teamed by Fortson and Zhao Dong. He passed the ball to Rasheed Wallace behind.

Rasheed Wallace was dunked by Dazhi, and his stomach was full of anger. After taking the ball, he took advantage of the opportunity to turn around and elbowed Dazhi's stomach.

Dadu let out a muffled snort, and took half a step back with his left foot, but immediately gritted his teeth and stuck it up, not giving Roaring Tianzun room to make a move.

At this time, Zhao Dong's defense came up and successfully surrounded Rasheed Wallace.

Rasheed Wallace forcibly took off and shot, but was slapped down by Zhao Dong, and Dazhi snatched the ball after he let go.

"Beautiful! Although the defense is not very good, after coming to the Knicks, I was influenced by the atmosphere of this iron-blooded team. Now I dare to fight, and I won't give you a chance to shoot when I get elbowed. The defense has been trained. "Sun Zhenping said happily.

"This defense, I'm afraid of having a good attitude. As long as you have an attitude, it will always be effective." Zhang Lili laughed.
