Chapter 315

At this time, at Chicago's United Center Arena, the first half of the Eastern Conference finals G3 game has been played, 44:49, and the Knicks are 5 points behind in the away game.

In this game, the old Nelson, who had tasted the sweetness in the game, brought in Dazhi again, and cooperated with Zhao Dong in the low post, which was similar to the double-tower tactic.

But the Bulls' defensive tactic was right. They didn't play this tactic and fell behind by 7 points in the first quarter. Then Zhao Dong led the bench team to get back [-] points in the second quarter.

He played for 10 minutes and only got two open opportunities, which were still small. Rasheed Wallace watched him very hard today. He made 5 of 2 shots, 3 of 3 free throws, and scored 7 points.However, being able to play this performance under Roaring Tianzun's marking is still a pass, but the efficiency is far less than the previous game.

In the second half, Old Nelson adjusted his offensive tactics. He sent Da Ben and Fortson inside, let Fortson pull out, and let Zhao Dong enter the low post.

But the Bulls completely released Fordson, who was pulled out, and double-teamed Zhao Dong, and Zhao Dong's low-post efficiency was limited.

And Fordson's offensive ability is really limited. Although he got a few passes from Zhao Dong, his efficiency is not as good as Zhao Dong's strong shot in the double-team, so this offensive tactic is considered a failure.

In the end, 93:101, the Knicks lost the G3 battle.

Zhao Dong took the ball a total of 38 times, was double-teamed 19 times, three-person double-teamed 9 times, and four-person double-teamed 3 times. Only 7 times belonged to single defense, and these 7 times belonged to fast breaks or outside breakthroughs, not If you don't double-team, it's too late to double-team.

他上场48分钟,30投16中,命中率53%,14罚13中,轰下45分11篮板5助攻2抢断4盖帽4失误5犯规的数据,砍下全场最高分,成为了名符其实的空砍王。

When the game ended, the United Center Arena was boiling.

Jordan was interviewed at the scene. He was very tired, but he looked authentic: "We played a beautiful offensive and defensive battle tonight. We managed to limit the efficiency of the dragon and limit his shooting rate to 53%. We also managed to limit the Knicks' low-post offense, which was a success, and we saw hope of winning the Eastern Conference Finals."

In the visiting team's locker room, Old Nelson was summing up.

"I'm sorry, we were under-prepared tactically for this game. It's my fault. I'll be responsible." From the beginning, he assumed his own responsibility.

"We didn't play the low-post coordination in the previous game, which gave the Bulls a lot of opportunities to concentrate on double-teaming the dragons. This is our tactical failure."

"At the same time, on the defensive end, the Bulls blossomed a lot. They made 9 three-pointers in this game. Their outside touch was overwhelming, and our outside defense completely collapsed."

"This is an irony to our defensive tactics. We have to adjust our defensive tactics. We have to know that their low-post offense is no better than ours. We have the best interior defense. When they don't have enough containment in the interior, why can they still play? Breaking down our perimeter defense is a problem that the coaching staff needs to think about carefully."

Xiao Fan nodded at this time and said, "I will take responsibility. The Bulls frequently moved the ball from the perimeter today, directly tearing apart our perimeter defense. Our defensive tactics were not adjusted in time."

Zhao Dong sat on the sidelines, he was quite disappointed with tonight's game.

After two consecutive victories in the Eastern Conference Finals, the team was careless about the Bulls, thinking that the next victory would be within easy reach, but no, the Bulls were definitely not much weaker than the Knicks, and a little carelessness would lead to a comeback.

This is his responsibility. He didn't adjust the mentality in the locker room and let the team play the G3 game with an inflated mentality.

Half an hour after the summary, the Knicks held a post-game press conference.

"Feilong, what do you think is the main reason for this failure?" Thomas, the team reporter, asked.

"We were careless. We thought we would win the Bulls, but we didn't." Zhao Dong said.

"Is this the main reason?"

"Yes, a person's attitude is everything."

"Then what's the tactical reason?"

"It's a problem with the coaching staff and I think they'll fix it and get us back on the winning track."

"Coach Nelson, what do you think is wrong with today's tactics?" Zhang Reasonable asked when it was his turn to ask questions.

Old Nelson smiled and said: "We didn't use tactics to open up the double-team force around him for Feilong, and let the Bulls double-team him unscrupulously, and the outside touch is not very good today, and the outside running is not active. There are also some problems with the personnel arrangement, the players who were pulled out were emptied, and then the defensive force was concentrated on the dragon."

"Do you think the G4 game can change the situation tonight?"

"Of course we will make changes."

On May 5, the media analyzed the Eastern Conference Finals G31 game.

"The myth of the god of efficiency has been broken, and Jordan has got the key to victory." Chicago Sports News.

"The shooting percentage of 53% is still good, but it is not enough to lead the Knicks to the finals. The defending dynasty is even more of a luxury."

A large number of media turned around and began to look down on the Knicks and Zhao Dong.

On this day, like Phil Jackson, the old Nelson and the coaching staff were constantly discussing the tactics of the G4 battle.

The main core question is what tactics to use to open up Zhao Dong's defense.

Discussions took place throughout the day and several issues were established.

First, Zhao Dong's position cannot be fixed on the outside or inside. He must make full use of his versatility to suppress the Bulls' defensive tactics.

Second, when Zhao Dong is on the outside, there must be an offensive inside line under the basket to attract the Bulls' defense, and there must be a rebounding inside line to ensure rebounds.

Third, when Zhao Dong is in the low post, he must arrange an offensive inside line on the strong side, and there must also be an offensive insider who is responsible for rebounding.

Fourth, the outside running must be active. It is necessary to pull the Bulls' outside defense and prevent them from sinking and double-teaming Zhao Dong.

fifth, sixth...

"Barkley, Kevin Willis, Wang, this is our offensive line."

"Ben Wallace, Fortson, this is our rebounding and defensive interior."

It was almost dinner time, Xiao Fan said, "Tang, which two shall we choose?"

Old Nelson stared at the five names, pondered for a long time and said, "Barkley, and the king."

"What?" Fan and Thibodeau were surprised.

The old Nelson explained: "Although Barkley is old and has a lot of injuries, he has been maintaining his body in the Knicks. We haven't used him much. Now it's time for him to contribute. He has rebounds, defense, and offense. Don't forget, he is the template of Feilong."

Xiao Fan and Thibodeau couldn't help but nodded, the former said with some concern: "I just don't know how long he can play, as the main force, at least three to ten minutes."

Old Nelson said: "Let him explode, finish the Eastern Conference Finals and the Finals, and let him rest for another season next season."

"Pfft!"

Xiao Fan and the two laughed.

Old Nelson said: "Barkley and Wang are the starters, and with Dragon's passing ability and assist ability, it is impossible for the Bulls to let them go, so the defensive pressure facing Dragon will be much less.

In particular, Wang's performance was mediocre yesterday, and the Bulls would not have guessed that we would continue to use him as the starter, and we could catch them off guard. "

"Not bad." Xiao Fan said.

Old Nelson said again: "The two of them, plus Feilong, all three of them can pass the ball. I want to add a lot of low-post coordination and high-low coordination in the G4 game."

Low position coordination is not surprising, but high and low position coordination?

Xiao Fan asked, "Then who is above and who is below?"

Old Nelson said: "The dragon is on top, and Barkley and Wang are on the bottom. The dragon is the most mobile. Once Barkley and Wang attract the defense in the low post, the Bulls don't have enough defensive strength to double-team the dragon in the high post. The dragon has to shoot and rush. , there are many options.”

In fact, when choosing a starting insider, he will definitely be biased towards an offensive insider, because he is an offensive coach himself.

In the evening, Zhao Dong and others gathered in a room to watch the G3 match of the Western Conference Finals.

Back home, the momentum of the Lakers was very high. As soon as the game started, Kobe and O'Neal came to the alley-oop. The latter dunked with both hands and directly sank the Spurs' basket, which won the applause of the audience.

"Boss, will there be a sweep in the Western Conference Finals?" Fortson asked.

In the last life, the Spurs swept the Lakers with a score of [-]-[-]. In this life?
"It shouldn't be possible. The Spurs don't have the strength to crush the Lakers." Zhao Dong shook his head.

Kobe's strength has grown rapidly, obviously stronger than in the previous life. With the increase of the Lakers' outside power, it can effectively contain the Spurs' defensive power. With the addition of Glenn Rice, the two outside lines can be used to open up the defense for O'Neal. If you have all the strength, inside and outside, you will have a chance to win.

This is just like the Knicks. In the G3 game, the Knicks' outside line failed to open up the defense for themselves, so that all the defensive pressure was on themselves, and the result was a loss.

However, the strength of the Spurs should still be stronger than the Lakers, and the Spurs of the Spurs Twin Towers are even stronger than the later GPS Spurs.

The current general Robinson still has the strength of a first-class center on both ends of the offense and defense, and he can play for at least two seasons. After these two seasons, the Spurs' strength will drop a notch until Ginobili and Parker grow up.

In the previous life, the Spurs would win the championship this season, and Duncan would be seriously injured next season, and then ushered in the dynasty era of the OK combination.

And in this life, if the Spurs want to win the championship in these few seasons, the biggest possibility is to win the championship this season just like the previous life.

In the next few seasons, excluding the Knicks, after Robinson retired, Duncan couldn't do the OK combination alone.

And this season, the Spurs reached the Finals, whether against their own Knicks or Jordan's Bulls, the probability of winning the championship is smaller than in the previous life.

In the previous life, the Spurs defeated the Knicks by a big score of [-] to [-] in the finals to win the championship. In this life, the Spurs will never have that chance.

In the end, in Game 3 of the Western Conference finals, Kobe scored 27 points and Glenn Rice scored 25 points. Their outside firepower liberated O'Neal, who scored 32 points. With the violent performance of the three, the Lakers pulled Going back to one game, retaining the suspense of the series.

"The Lakers' internal and external dual-core smashed the Spurs' twin towers!" The New York Times.

"The power of the OK combination is beginning to show!" New York Sportswear.

The New York Times was very positive, greatly praised O'Neal and Kobe.

"These shameful New York media, are they afraid that our Lakers will not be chaotic?" Jerry West said helplessly after seeing these reports.

He could imagine what Glen Rice would think when he saw these reports from the most influential New York media.

"Damn it, I also scored 25 points, and the media didn't even mention it?"

At Glen Rice's house, he angrily tore several newspapers in his hand to shreds.

On June 6st, the Eastern Conference Finals G1 match day.

Knicks: Dazhi, Barkley, Zhao Dong, Latrell Sprewell, Billups
Bulls: Oakley, Rasheed Wallace, McGrady, Jordan, Kidd.

In the ABC live broadcast, the commentators Hubie Brown and Cook got the starting list and immediately began to analyze it.

"There is no doubt that the Knicks have strengthened their interior offense. In the upcoming G4 game, they will definitely conduct more low-post and interior offenses."

As an old coach, Hubie Brown is very sure and authentic.

Cook laughed: "The Bulls' starting lineup remains the same."

Hubie Brown complained: "They haven't changed. Oakley, Rasheed Wallace, Jordan, plus Kidd and McGrady, the salary of the five starters reached 7000 million US dollars, far higher than the Knicks, the Bulls Without the support of Nike, it is impossible for them to spend more money to pay the luxury tax and build a better bench. Of course, their bench is also good, with Mobley on the outside and Kurt Thomas on the inside. .”

"Now Nike will only support the Knicks, not the Bulls."

Cook said with a smile: "So Feilong said that if the Bulls can't win the championship this season, the Bulls will collapse. I believe his opinion."

"Me too."

Hubby Brown nodded, and said again: "But Flying Dragon played his lowest efficiency in the three Eastern Conference finals. If other Knicks players continue to be cold-handed in this game, I don't think the Bulls may not be able to win consecutive home victories."

Cook said: "I played for tactical reasons. There were problems with both offense and defense. The old Nelson should make adjustments this time."

In the CCTV live broadcast, although Zhang Lili was very happy to see that Dazhi entered the starting lineup for the third time in the Eastern Conference finals, he was a little worried about his performance, and at the same time he was very surprised at the boldness of old Nelson.

He sighed: "I really didn't expect that in such a critical Eastern Conference finals, in a series about defending the dynasty, the old Nelson would dare to give up the pair of Big Ben and Fortson. The Knicks have cultivated two The season's starting inside combination, he really deserves to be the tactical inventor."

"Director Zhang, analyze and analyze, how will old Nelson play today?" Sun Zhenping asked.

Zhang Lili said with a smile: "The main attack is inside."

"Based on inside attack?"

Nodding his head, Zhang Lili said: "Yes, Barkley and Dazhi are both insiders who can attack, plus Zhao Dong, why not play inside?
But Billups is still there. He must be mainly organized. The Knicks have never paid attention to his scoring ability, but have been limiting his scoring. Therefore, Zhao Dong should still focus on off the ball in this game.

In this way, there are Dazhi and Barkley in the low post, so Zhao Dong's position can no longer be fixed in the low post. He should still be a small forward, connecting inside, and his position is more flexible than the low post. "

At ten past eight, the starting lineup begins.

"Feilong, we will definitely win this game." Jordan said confidently.

"What conspiracy did you arrange this time?" Zhao Dong asked curiously.

"What kind of conspiracy? That's called tactics, you idiot!" Jordan said angrily.

"Jordan, you are going to get fifty points for this match."

Zhao Dong smiled, and suddenly said something that Jordan couldn't understand.

"What do you want to do?" Jordan asked alertly.

"I want to go, you idiot, do you still want me to tell you?" Zhao Dong left the sentence and led his team out.

After 15 minute, the game starts.

Big to jump ball with Rasheed Wallace.

"Food, I won't let you score in double figures today." When preparing, Roaring Tianzun spat out trash talk.

Dazhi's eyes moved, softie, this is his nickname in the Bulls.

He doesn't spray back, he's not good at trash talking.

At this time, the referee threw the ball up to take off, and consciously made a body contact with Rasheed Wallace in the air.

His weight is 115 kilograms. The latter is in the early [-] kilograms, at least ten kilograms lighter. After two or three years of confrontation training, he already has considerable confrontation ability. This contact immediately bounced Rashid away. First touch.

The Knicks attacked and the ball was handed to Billups. Instead of going to the top of the arc, he pulled it outside the left wing three-point line.

The low position on the left wing is Da Zhi, and on the left wing between him and Billups is Zhao Dong.

Zhao Dong's position is below the dotted line of the free throw line and is not subject to Article 136 of the Dragon Rule.

Madman pulled to the right-wing three-point line, and below him in the low post on the right wing was Barkley.

The Bulls still played the defensive tactics of the previous game, two-one-two zone defense + man-to-man, which is the so-called mixed defense.

That is to say, on the basis of the two-one-two joint defense, let McGrady defend Zhao Dong alone.

Hubie Brown said: "Jordan guards the upper end of the paint to the high position. He can help defend the outside line outward, help defend the basket downward, and help defend the flanks left and right. The defensive task is very heavy. With his 36-year-old age, the Bulls He was overloaded, and like Tyson, he could be called Iron Michael."

Cook added: "Iron Michael? He and Tyson are enemies, share a nickname, like they share Givens? That's not good."

"Haha..." Hubie Brown burst out laughing.

"These two bastards!"

With the roar of fury, and with a bang, the TV on the table was kicked over.

Tyson's house in New York, after kicking over the TV, he walks around the living room like a beast in distress, looking like he's on the verge of madness.

He lost to a basketball player like Zhao Dong, which was a great blow to his reputation. Now almost no boxer is willing to fight with him. His career and economy are in trouble. Now two damn commentators The players also exposed his scars, these basketball jerks are not a thing.
