Chapter 323
2:4, the Spurs attack.

The Spurs still use the high and low double tower tactics, and let Duncan play Zhao Dong singles.

"Last time we lost the defense, let's see how Zhao Dong defends Duncan this time." Zhang Reasonable said expectantly.

This time, Zhao Dong took the top defense.

There are three types of low post defense, top defense, round forward, and side defense, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

Top defense is a method often used by insiders who are dominant in strength. It can withstand the advance of the attacker. Although Zhao Dong's upper body strength is average, his core strength and lower body strength are very strong, so this method is adopted.

Duncan received the ball smoothly and began to hit Zhao Dong with his back.

The rest of the Knicks did not double-team, allowing Duncan to play singles.

Bang bang, Duncan took two dribbles and double-ducked, but to his surprise, he didn't.

Every time he arched back, he felt that Zhao Dong's upper body was leaning back, but his lower body was very stable, and his strength was immediately removed.

This is because Zhao Dong's core strength is too strong, and his upper body actively leans back slightly to remove Duncan's strength, and the core strength and lower body strength can ensure that his upper body will return quickly, so Will be really arched.

At the same time, when Duncan was back arching, Zhao Dong's right elbow would push against him from time to time, making it impossible for Duncan to back arch with all his strength.

Seeing that the arch didn't move, Duncan didn't panic. He turned around suddenly, then turned around again, and then jumped up at a 45-degree position, protecting the ball with his left hand, holding the ball with one hand in his right hand, and throwing it towards the backboard.

Zhao Dong is too familiar with Duncan. Duncan's 45-degree board game is his best, and his board game technology has reached the full level. How can he be unprepared?
So he was not shaken by Duncan's fake move. At the moment Duncan turned around and took off, he stepped up and took off, kept up with the rhythm, and blocked the shot.

"Snapped!"

After the ball was shot, it was clicked by Zhao Dong.

"Beautiful! Flying Dragon single-handedly defended against Flying Devil, and he sent out a big hat." The live commentator shouted excitedly.

The ball was hit in the sky, just above the heads of the two. Zhao Dong got stuck immediately after landing, and took off the basketball on Duncan's head.

Duncan immediately stood in front, preventing Zhao Dong from making a fast pass and interfering with his fast pass. The Knicks failed to make a fast break this time.

Billups steadily advanced to the frontcourt, and others began to settle down.

"The Knicks' first positional attack, let's see how Zhao Dong fights?" Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.

At this time, Zhao Dong and the others began to take their seats.

"Oh, high and low double tower tactics?" Zhang Lili saw it, his jaw dropped in shock.

"The Murong family's way of using the other's way to return to the other's body?" Sun Zhenping was also surprised.

In the TNT live broadcast, Bill Walton was also surprised: "The Knicks actually played the Spurs' two-tower tactic. The King of China is at the top of the arc, the Dragon is in the low post on the left wing, Fortson is in the low post on the right wing, Madman and Billups are on the left and right respectively. wing three-point line."

Many people were also surprised, the stars on the sidelines, but Popovich was the most surprised.

He never thought that the Knicks would play this kind of tactic, because the Knicks only have one high center forward, and the second tallest player on the court is Zhao Dong, who is only 205 centimeters.

But he ignored one point. Although Zhao Dong has no height, his low-post skills, coupled with his mobility, can completely support one of the twin towers.

And as big as there are three-pointers that Robinson does not have. He has a greater depth than Robinson in the high position. There is no problem in supporting the high position.

This is a tactic formulated by Nelson Sr., which is very bold. He thinks he can catch the Spurs by surprise.

Zhao Dong was in the low position on the left wing, and Duncan, who had a high advantage, took the top defense. He successfully received the pass from the high position and began to back Duncan.

But at this time Dazhi didn't cut to the basket, it was Fortson on the right wing who cut.

This is a tactical change made by the tactical inventor Nelson according to the strengths and weaknesses of his own players.

Because as big as a three-pointer, he stays in the high position and can contain Robinson. If he is allowed to cut to the basket, he will be at a disadvantage against Robinson in the low position.

Fortson, who weighs up to 116 kilograms, is facing the 93-kg Spurs small forward Sean Elliott. He has a huge advantage in tonnage and strength, and he moves very fast, so let him cut into the basket to grab rebounds Or play second offense.

Bang, Zhao Dong hit the ground with a backhand pass, and the ball passed to Fortson who had just cut to the basket.

"boom!"

Fortson easily squeezed away Sean Elliott, who was more than [-] kilograms behind him, and dunked the ball with both hands.

"Beautiful, this tactic was played quite easily. The Knicks split the two towers of the Spurs through the pass and the high position."

Zhang Lili said excitedly: "On the defensive end, the Mata twin towers have two low positions, one on the left and one on the right. The offensive team can only single one of them. If the attacker breaks through, the remaining one will immediately defend the basket. Next, carry out weak side defense.

This is also the strength of the Spurs Twin Towers. They have dominated the entire Western Conference on both offense and defense this season. Shaquille O'Neal's dominance was overthrown by their joint efforts.

But now against the Knicks, the old Nelson dared to use the high position to contain Robinson, so that only Duncan was left, and the defensive tactics of the twin towers were broken. "

On the sidelines, Popovich was scratching his head, his mind spinning with all his might.

Back to the offensive end, this time the Spurs twin towers did not play high and low tactics, but low-post tactics, one left and one right.

Just now Duncan took Zhao Dong's cap, and now of course he has to return it, and he is very positive.

Robinson, who was in the low position on the right wing, didn't ask for the ball either. Instead, he opened up a bit and took Da Zhi away, creating a chance for Duncan to single-play Zhao Dong.

But just when Dazhi was just catching up, the seasoned Robinson suddenly reversed, dropped Dazhi, and cut to the basket.

At this time, Duncan, who was holding the ball with one hand, suddenly made an overhead pass to Robinson.

Zhao Dong stretched out his hand to block it, but he didn't have time.

"boom!"

Robinson, who cut to the basket, caught the ball and took advantage of the trend, dunking the ball.

"It's impossible to defend against. The Spurs' two towers are really powerful!" Zhang Lili praised.

"The two tall towers can attack, defend, pass, and have heights. They are invincible together!" Sun Zhenping also praised.

4:6, the Knicks attack.

"It's still a high-low double-tower tactic. Old Nelson is going to use the Spurs' tactic to overthrow the Spurs!" Bill Walton shook his head and smiled.

Zhao Dong caught the ball with one hand, without any feints, he turned and slid down the bottom, and pressed Duncan with his right hand to prevent the latter from chasing and defending.

Although Duncan reacted quickly, he couldn't keep up with Zhao Dong. He was pressed again and couldn't keep up.

Zhao Dong successfully entered the paint area, and after a further step, his figure exploded.

"boom!"

The water splashed and the basket trembled.

"Look, this is Zhao Dong's low post attack, the top guard's movement, the top guard's ball control, it is impossible to defend against his low post alone, no matter how good Duncan's defense is." Zhang Lili said excitedly.

Sun Zhenping said with a smile: "He has the dislocation advantages of tonnage, strength, and height in the high position, and the dislocation advantages of movement and speed in the low position. In addition, he has a strong ability to get rid of, and comprehensive top-level offensive skills. The Bulls double-teamed The effect is not very good, if the Spurs continue to adopt a single defense, he will definitely be able to play super efficient today."

Zhang Lili smiled and said: "Speaking of Zhao Dong's ability to escape, Duncan once said during the regular season that if you want to limit Zhao Dong's offensive efficiency, you must limit his ability to escape.

And this time in the Eastern Conference Finals, the Bulls did successfully play a defensive tactic that limited Zhao Dong's ability to escape.

It was on the outside, above the dotted line of the free throw line. Article 136 of the Flying Dragon Rule limited Zhao Dong's dislocation advantage, and then Jordan and McGrady double-teamed, which really limited Zhao Dong's offensive efficiency. This shows Duncan's thinking is correct.

Now, when the Spurs beat the Knicks, it depends on how Popovich restricts Zhao Dong's efficiency. Will it be based on restricting his ability to escape? "

4:8, the Spurs attack, low-post twin-tower tactics.

Duncan received the ball in the low post on the left wing, and Robinson suddenly cut to the basket from the low post on the right wing.

It was so difficult to defend Robinson alone. Zhao Dong was partially distracted by Robinson's movements. At this time, Duncan suddenly took the opportunity to turn around and take off to hit the board. He had no time to defend.

"boom!"

The basketball hits the backboard into the basket.

6:8, the Knicks attack.

It was still the old tactic, Zhao Dong received the ball in the low post on the left wing, and Fortson cut to the basket.

At this time, Robinson in the high position chose to turn around and return to the basket. He knew that Sean Elliott could not guard Fortson.

At the same time, he believes that Zhao Dong will most likely choose a more efficient attack at the basket, and will not pass to the high-ranking king.

His thinking is actually right. The current three-point tactics have not yet become the mainstream tactics. Even if it is outside, the first choice is to break through and shoot in the middle, not to shoot three-pointers, let alone a center?
But when he returned to the basket, Zhao Dong passed the ball to Da Zhi at the top of the arc.

Dazhi caught the ball, looked at the basket, and then jumped up and shot. The ball flew across an arc and flew towards the basket.

"brush!"

Splashes appeared, and the three-pointer was hit.

6:11, the Spurs attack.

"damn it!"

Robinson glared at Zhao Dong angrily,
Zhao Dong sneered, idiot, even if it was too big to make a shot, I went into the basket, can your rebounds beat me and Fortson?
In the next few minutes, both sides came and went, the offensive efficiency was very high, and the defensive efficiency was average.

In the 9th minute of the first quarter, the two sides changed players. At this time, the score was 20:25, and the Knicks maintained a 5-point advantage.

Zhao Dong rarely sat on the bench, Dazhi and Fortson were replaced, Da Ben and Kevin Willis were sent inside, Barkley played small forward, and Hu Weidong and Charlie Ward were sent outside.

For the Spurs, Duncan led the bench.

"Judging from the bench lineups of both sides, although Duncan stayed on the court, the Knicks are obviously more luxurious." Bill Walton laughed.

"Larry Johnson is still sitting on the bench. He has no chance this season. The Knicks have enough inside." Matt laughed.

Originally, Zhao Dong thought that with the Knicks' bench lineup, the Spurs' bench lineup could be overwhelmed, but he didn't.

The Spurs' backup swingman Jalen Jackson stepped up and made two three-pointers within 3 minutes.

At 28:31, the Knicks ended the first quarter with a 3-point lead.

赵东首节9分钟，6投5中，2罚2中，轰下12分。

邓肯12分钟，7投5中，1罚0中，轰下10分。

Robinson made 9 of 5 shots and scored 3 points in 6 minutes.

In the second quarter, the substitute lineups of the two sides fought again.

Duncan didn't play again and sent a backup forward.

On the Knicks side, Zhao Dong came on and replaced Willis.

This time, the Knicks' bench lineup began to widen the gap.

Although the Spurs' substitute Jalen Jackson continued to feel hot and scored another 8 points in the second quarter, the Spurs still couldn't handle Zhao Dong's offense. Duncan played again in the 5th minute, and Robinson played in the 6th minute. The two sides have entered a stalemate.

After halftime, 50:59, the Knicks led by 9 points.

During the halftime break, Zhang Reasonable analyzed: "The advantage of the main lineup is not great. The Spurs and Twin Towers scored 30 points in the halftime, and Zhao Dong scored 24 points in the halftime.

In the 21 minutes of the half, Zhao Dong took 12 shots and hit 9 goals, all of which were low-post attacks and did not shoot with all his strength.

Duncan and Robinson didn't make full shots either, leaving room for energy.Especially Zhao Dong didn't play the whole game today, I think both sides are having reservations for the second half. "

Sun Zhenping said: "The Knicks can't defend the Spurs Twin Towers, and the Spurs can't defend the Knicks. The Knicks lead by 9 points, all thanks to the bench lineup."

After 15 minutes, the second half began.

For the Spurs, the very hot substitute Jalen Jackson continued to play, replacing the starting shooting guard Mario Eli.

The Knicks made five starts in the first quarter.

"The Knicks have more options on the bench. They have a large number of high-quality role players, and the main players get a lot of rest time. But the Spurs don't have the main players. Although there is a 9-point difference, the difference is not big. The main players I also got a rest, and then we will watch the contest between the two sides in the second half." Bill Walton said.

"The contest in the second half will still attack in the paint area, which is the area with the highest offensive efficiency of both sides." Matt said.

At this time the game began, the Knicks attack.

"Dazhi is still pulled to a high position to form a high fort. His high fort can only be defended by Robinson. The others' defense is not high enough, so Robinson is firmly restrained in the high position. Old Nelson's tactics against Dazhi are really good. It's very accurate."

Seeing Dazhi stopped at the top of the arc, Zhang Lili smiled.

At this time he exclaimed: "Oh, Zhao Dong took two steps away?"

On the court, Zhao Dong was two steps away from the paint, and Duncan was forced to follow.

Da Zhi passed the ball down, Zhao Dong caught the ball facing the basket, suddenly took a tentative step, shook Duncan, and then broke through from the underside, holding the ball and heading towards the paint.

Robinson was so defensive in the high post that he couldn't come back at all.

Sean Elliott, a low-post right-wing small forward, was too small. He defended Fortson. After some entanglement, he was blocked outside the paint by the amazingly talented Fortson, unable to defend the basket.

Of course, even if he could make up the basket, he wouldn't dare, because he would be hit by Zhao Dong.

"boom!"

Zhao Dong took off directly on the sideline of the paint, crossed the three-meter space, and made a brutal one-arm dunk with a flat basket, blowing up the Spurs' basket.

"yeah!"

The audience cheered for it.

The on-site commentator roared excitedly: "The flying dragon broke through Tim Duncan with the basket, and the Spurs are unstoppable..."

"Beautiful, this is the strongest attack of the flying dragon with terrifying impact, and his face basket is the most brutal attack method."

Bill Wharton exclaimed excitedly.

Matt immediately analyzed: "When the dragon pulls out from the low post, Duncan has to keep up, otherwise he will be shot.

So when Duncan left the paint and Robinson was still in the high post, the Spurs were actually unable to defend against the dragon's attack to the basket.

Small forward Sean Elliott is too small. He is at a disadvantage against Fortson. As a defender, he was blocked by Fortson. This is so ironic! "

Bill Walton said: "Fortson is called a beast. He has great strength, strong explosiveness, and quick movement. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to grab so many rebounds.

Some people have always said that the Knicks were wrong for not using Fortson to trade McGrady, and even accused Feilong, but I think he has a great effect on the Knicks. He can provide more and more efficient rebounds and fierce defense. , which McGrady cannot provide. "

"Today, the Knicks have always been man-to-man defense, and rarely double-teamed the Spurs twin towers, so today, apart from substitute Jalen Jackson's hand feeling great and making some shots, there are not many other outside opportunities." Zhang He understood. .

"Yes, if there is no double-team inside, there will be no open space outside. Just by running, at most you can run out of a small open space, and the hit rate will not be high." Sun Zhenping said.

At this time, the Spurs attacked with a low-post twin-tower tactic.

Duncan hit Zhao Dong with his back, when backup shooting guard Jalen Jackson cut to the basket from the left wing.

Duncan made a passing movement, distracting Zhao Dong's attention. The former took the opportunity to turn around and slide to the basket, then flew up and blasted a one-armed basket.

The defense from the low position on the right wing was so big that it was too late to make up the defense, and Duncan cut into the basket very quickly.

"It's really hard to guard against!" Zhang Li shook his head and said.

Looking back, the Knicks attacked, Zhao Dong took two more steps, and Duncan was forced to follow.

At this time, Da Zhi passed the ball from a high position. After receiving the ball, Zhao Dong did not start his attack as quickly as the previous attack, but observed the situation on the weak side.

At this time, Fortson had already reached the basket, easily stuck Sean Elliott behind him, and was looking at Zhao Dong with his mouth open.

In addition, the high position Dazhi suddenly moved to the right wing along the three-point line. Robinson glanced at Dazhi and decided to go back to the basket, but when he reacted, Zhao Dong had already passed the ball to Fordson who was under the basket. .

"boom!"

Fortson caught the ball with one hand, and with his excellent wingspan, he hit the basket with one hand when he got up, dunking Sean Elliott under him.

"Haha, this tactic is so easy to use!"

Zhang Lili praised and said: "Zhao Dong and Dazhi pulled out all the Spurs twin towers, and then let Fortson enter the basket to single-play Sean Elliott. With his tonnage and strength, his speed is not weaker than Opponent, isn’t this bullying?”

Sun Zhenping said with a smile: "I believe that the Spurs will replace soon, and replace with a striker who can carry Fortson."

Zhang Lili smiled and said: "That's for sure. Fortson's offensive ability is average, and the Spurs still have people who can defend him. This tactic can only be used for a while, but not forever."
