NBA Dynasty Sniper

Chapter 324 Kobe: How can I be such a boss?

Sure enough, the Spurs attacked, and when the ball was dead, Popovich decisively replaced the main small forward Sean Elliott and replaced the backup forward Malik Rose.

Rose and Zhao Dong were the same year's show, the 96th pick in the second round in 15, 201 cm, 113 kg, average strength, but good IQ, with double degrees, and good golf quotient.

Zhao Dong has an impression of Rose, because before his rebirth, in 2020, the black player became the vice president of NBA operations.

Of course, what he didn't know was that Rose would be traded to the Knicks in 05. Thomas, the Knicks manager at the time, had a brain twitch. In order to trade a role player, he actually paid the Spurs two first-round picks. The bad thing is that it was bought by Popovich.

The Spurs attacked, Duncan hit the rebound, was interfered by Zhao Dong, failed to make a shot, and the rebound was caught by Dazhi who returned to the basket.

The Knicks attacked, and Zhao Dong pulled out again.

This time, Fortson didn't have the advantage, and Malik Rose held him off the edge of the paint, and he couldn't get to the basket.

So Zhao Dong didn't pass the ball, but broke through facing the basket.

It is only one step for him to break through Jordan on the outside. It is too easy to break through Duncan.

Grabbing the ball with one hand, he suddenly rose up and stood up. An extremely realistic fake shot made a real shot, shaking Duncan, and then shot Duncan with one step, and rushed to the paint area.

This time, Admiral Robinson once again chose to go short and return to the basket, which was the most correct choice for him.

This time, Zhao Dong did not choose to pass the ball.

In the second half, it's time to get serious. Attacking at the basket is a knife-to-knife to a gun to a gun, and the outside jumper is not reliable.

He held the ball with his left hand, protected the ball with his right hand, and flew up to Malick Rose and David Robinson who were returning to the basket with all their strength.

"So high!"

Malik Rose took off to block the shot, but found that his head was at least one foot lower than Zhao Dong's, and the difference in wingspan was even greater, adding up to [-] centimeters.

And Robinson, who was defending from above, could no longer jump very high, nor could he reach Zhao Dong's ball.

What to do, the two chose foul tactics at the same time.

"Crack! Crack!"

Two big hands hit Zhao Dong's body and head fiercely.

"boom!"

The next moment, when the basket was blown, the three of them collided.

Zhao Dong firmly grasped the basket with his left hand, hung on the basket, and coldly looked down at David Robinson and Malik Ross who fell to the ground, with an extremely cold attitude.

Robinson slapped him on the forehead, and he was red.

"yeah!"

A dunk overturned two people, one of whom was a super center, and Madison Square Garden suddenly boiled.

"Too brutal!"

"Damn the flying dragon, he is more brutal than the rain man's flat basket buckle."

On the sidelines, Jordan and other superstars jumped up excitedly.

"Hohohoho, a dunk! Dragon sent a brutal flat-basket dunk! He dunked Malik Ross, he dunked Admiral David Robinson..."

The excited roar of the live commentator resounded through Madison Square Garden.

At this time, the referee gave a penalty for a thug foul, which was given to Robinson and Zhao Dongjia made a free throw.

"Hey, super center, come in earlier next time and let me dunk you once?"

Zhao Dong spat trash talk at David Robinson, who had just got up and had a bad face.

"What did you say?"

Robinson's heart burst into a rage, and he put his head directly on Zhao Dong's forehead, his fierce eyes glowed red, and he seemed to strike at any disagreement.

"Go away!"

Zhao Dong was not used to Robinson, he raised his hand with an elbow, and suddenly pushed Robinson away. The latter was almost pushed over, and he took two or three steps back before he stood still.

Who are you scaring? In the next season of the last life, Robinson was directly elbowed to death by the postman. I have never seen him dare to attack the postman. Who gave you the courage to attack me and bully me as a Chinese? ?

Lao Tzu's Lao Tzu's Lao Tzu killed many Americans back then, how can I still be afraid of you?

"Shh!"

Seeing Robinson roughing up Zhao Dong, the Knicks immediately booed him loudly.

"Do not impulse!"

The referee was in a hurry, this is the finals, the president is sitting in the VIP room, this is not a fight, he quickly inserted between the two to prevent them from continuing to contact.

"Are you going to fight?"

On the sidelines, Oakley and others shouted excitedly and expectantly.

"Fighting is something rough people do, we have to use basketball to solve the problem." Jordan said with a look of disdain.

"Michael, be careful not to be heard by Mrs. Lindsay." Oakley immediately reminded.

"..."

Jordan twitched. Wasn't Lindsay caught by Lindsay when he spoke ill of Zhao Dong to Oakley last time in London?

He turned around and took a cautious look at Lindsay. Fortunately, he was far away, so he shouldn't be able to hear the noise at the scene.

Under the intervention of the referee, Robinson took advantage of the slope to get off the donkey, but Mr. Zhao Dong had a lot and did not start.

Next, Zhao Dongjia made a free throw and the Spurs attacked.

Zhao Dong strengthened his defense against Duncan and prevented him from entering the paint. Although Duncan's rebounding was good, Zhao Dong was too familiar with his rebounding skills. He defended Duncan twice in a row and even sent a block. .

On the offensive end, Zhao Dong still pulled Duncan out first, and then used his breakthrough ability to return to the paint area, which was very efficient.

At the 8th minute, 63:77, the point difference widened and the Knicks had led by 14 points.

Popovich had called timeouts twice in the third quarter and now called another timeout.

Bill Walton said: "Dragon made 8 of 6 shots and 5 of 4 free throws in the 4 minutes of the third quarter. He scored 14 points. The efficiency was extremely high, and it also caused great damage to the Spurs.

Robinson, who frequently returns to the basket, has committed three fouls, and all three fouls were sent to Feilong.Duncan also made three fouls, and Ross, who came off the bench, also fouled twice. The dragon has now gotten 10 free throws, all of which were hit.

Now the Spurs should understand that a single defense cannot defend against the Dragons. No matter how good Duncan's defense is, he is too slow compared to the Dragons. "

"Zone defense, we will play zone defense from now on."

In front of the Spurs bench, Popovich roared in a low voice: "If they play a double-tower low-post tactic, Tim top defense, David weak side defense, while assisting defense, we must cut off the pass from him and the basket, the outside line You can let it go for a while, do you understand?"

"clear."

Robinson nodded.

Popevich added: "If they play high and low double tower tactics, then we switch defenses, Malik Ross, you go to defend the Chinese, be tougher, the Chinese are very weak."

Malik Ross nodded, but complained in his heart, that guy who dared to elbow the postman, where is he weak?

Popovich said again: "David, you go back to the low post. When the flying dragon is attacking, immediately assist the weak side and attack hard, understand?"

"clear."

Robinson said.

On the sidelines, Kobe was sitting next to O'Neal, and suddenly said quietly: "Shaq, the dragon made ten free throws, I don't know how he practiced?"

O'Neal was taken aback, little rookie, which pot do you not open and which pot do you carry?
Kobe looked at O'Neill, knowing that the boss was not happy with his words, but he still couldn't help it.

The loss in the Western Conference Finals this time was a bit unfair. If O'Neal's free throws were a little better, the Lakers might be playing in the finals now. He would be on the court instead of sitting on the sidelines watching the game.

"Shaq, I'm just saying, how about we practice together during the offseason?" he suggested.

"No talk!"

O'Neill refused righteously, and it was too late to be lazy, wouldn't extra training kill him?Miami's beaches and hot bikini beauties are ten thousand times more attractive than a cold training hall.

Kobe persevered and continued to try his best to persuade him: "You see, the flying dragon may become a dynasty. I heard that there is a dragon on his ring, which is very beautiful. If we win the championship one day, how will the ring be designed?"

"Carve a big hamburger and add two hot dogs." O'Neill said without hesitation.

"..."

Kobe was a little desperate, how could he be such a boss?

On the TNT live broadcast, Bill Walton explained: "The Spurs can still play inextricably with the Knicks, but as the dragons strengthen their offense, the point difference is now widened."

Matt said: "It's still efficiency. When the Dragons strengthened their defense, Duncan's low-post efficiency decreased, and he couldn't get into the basket.

However, Feilong chose the tactic of pulling out first and then rushing in, which is extremely efficient.Feilong used this tactic to beat the Sharks in the regular season, and the Sharks also couldn't deal with it. If they followed it, they couldn't go back. "

"The God of Efficiency is not just talking about it. If the Spurs cannot limit the efficiency of the Dragons, they will have no chance of winning the championship." Bill Walton laughed.

"Duncan said that to limit the efficiency of the dragon, you must first limit his ability to get rid of it. Let's see how the Spurs do it." Matt said expectantly.

At this time, the timeout is over and the game begins. The Spurs attack with a low-post twin tower tactic.

In the low position on the left wing, Zhao Dong still defended with all his strength, determined not to let Duncan enter the paint, and let him shoot outside.

In this area more than three meters away from the basket, under his defense, Duncan's shooting percentage will not exceed 45%, which will only be lower than this average.

And on the offensive end, even if he can't get in, his shooting percentage in this area can definitely reach more than 55%, and this is still in the case of double teams, or even double teams.

The 55% shooting rate is his lowest single-game shooting rate in this area. It was played in this Eastern Conference finals, and he only played one such low-efficiency game.The Bulls desperately double-teamed him in that game, and it really worked.

Duncan didn't have a back arch this time. After catching the ball, he immediately swung down and up, then turned around and slipped to the bottom.

Zhao Dong was shaken by Duncan's upward swing, but his movement speed was too fast. When Duncan slid down and just completed his turn, he took a step back and made a very fast lateral movement. He took the lead and blocked him again. In front of Duncan, Duncan slammed into him, and the ball lost control and went out of bounds.

The referee signaled that the ball was exchanged.

"It's beautiful. This defense gave Duncan a mistake." Zhang Lili smiled happily.

"The advantage of moving speed is strong." Sun Zhenping laughed.

Knicks attack.

"Oh, the Spurs are starting to play zone defense, two and three zone defense."

Seeing the defensive formation set by the Spurs, Zhang Lili immediately shouted.

On the court, Duncan sits under the basket, Robinson is outside the left waist in the paint, small forward Malik Rose is outside the right waist, and there are two guards on the left and right elbows.

The second and third joint defense, this is the focus of defending the low post, especially the area under the basket, and the outside line is the defensive weakness.

Zhao Dong entered the left wing, approaching the paint, and Robinson posted up.

As big as landing at the top of the arc, the ball is in his hands.

Fortson made a low post, and the two guards stretched left and right.

As a result, the two guards of the Spurs were pulled away by Billups and the madman.

According to Popovich's request, when the Knicks played the high and low double tower tactics, Malik Rose went up to defend the big one, and Duncan was still in the low post.

Zhao Dong carried the admiral with his left hand, and asked Da Zhi for the ball with his right hand, and Da Zhi hung him over.

As big as it is still an old tactic, after passing the ball, stop at the top of the arc to contain Malik Rose.

After Zhao Dong received the ball, he grabbed the ball with one hand with his right hand, suddenly raised up, made the movement of getting up and shooting, and after shaking Robinson, he immediately broke through and rushed to the paint area.

With Robinson's current athletic ability, after pulling out, under Zhao Dong's speed, he couldn't go back. After turning around, he could only watch Zhao Dong enter the paint.

At this time, Duncan, who was in the low position on the right wing, quickly defended the basket. At the same time, Robinson desperately chased behind Zhao Dong, trying to form a double-team under the basket.

"I won't procrastinate with you, I will solve you in the third quarter."

This thought flashed in Zhao Dong's mind as he entered the paint area, he put more effort into his feet, and flew up to face Duncan under the basket.

Faced with Zhao Dong's strong impact, Duncan actually wanted to take a step forward and defend outside the reasonable collision zone, so that Zhao Dong's collision with him would be an offensive foul.

But he can't, because there is Fortson behind him, he must guard the basket, otherwise, once he leaves, Zhao Dong will pass the ball, and what is waiting for him is Fortson's basket.

Therefore, he can only passively wait for Zhao Dong's impact in the reasonable collision zone under the basket.

Therefore, seeing Zhao Dong flying up, he could only take off vertically on the spot and raise his arms high to block Zhao Dong's attack.

He took off with all his strength, and now his vertical jump can reach 75 centimeters. With his height and wingspan of 230 centimeters, his standing height can reach 283 centimeters, which is also what he can achieve when he jumps vertically Defensive height limit.

But in the face of Zhao Dong's jump, such a defensive height is still not enough, and it is still a head lower than Zhao Dong.

"Oh!"

Zhao Dong bumped into Duncan from top to bottom. Under the huge impact, the latter let out a muffled grunt and immediately fell backwards.

And Zhao Dong was also knocked into the air. At this time, his core strength that broke through the limit began to show its magic, and his waist and abdomen stiffened in the air. After the second exertion, the lost balance was restored.

"boom!"

The next moment, the Spurs' basket was blasted.

Den den den, Duncan, who was hit and sunk, stepped back several steps before he stopped, and was almost knocked over.

"yeah!"

The moment the basket was blown, the audience immediately boiled.

"Hoohoho..."

The on-site commentator screamed strangely, and roared excitedly: "The undrafted dragon buckles the No. [-] pick Tim Duncan, this is a matchup, and the undrafted wins."

In the TNT live broadcast seat, Bill Walton smiled and said: "As long as Duncan defends the Dragon under the basket for half a second, Robinson can catch up and form a double-team under the basket, but unfortunately, the Dragon will not double-team the Spurs." Opportunity, his impact is unstoppable, and neither is Duncan."

Matt laughed: "So if the Spurs want to double-team the dragon, they can't wait until he rushes up. They must double-team before that, just like the Bulls did in the Eastern Conference Finals, double-teaming outside the paint or on the edge. Don't let him near the basket."

The Spurs attacked, and after serving the ball, a timeout was called.

"After only one round, the Spurs called a timeout again. Popovich probably thought there was a problem with his tactics," Sun Zhenping said.

Zhang Lili said: "There is a problem with the defense. The wide spread made it impossible for the Spurs to double-team Zhao Dong in the low post.

He didn't move at the high position, so the Spurs' two-three defense has actually become a three-two defense. The low position of the key defensive area does not have enough defensive energy.

Now the Spurs have to solve not only Zhao Dong, but also how to solve the Knicks' high and low double tower tactics. "

Sun Zhenping laughed and said: "North Qiaofeng South Murong, it is indeed very strong to use the other's way to counter the other's technique!"

Zhang Lili laughed and said: "Old Nelson is really good. His high and low double tower tactics, because Zhao Dong and Da Zhi's range is as far as the three-point line, can be stretched further than the Spurs' two towers. In this way, They can form a greater strategic depth than when the Spurs play this tactic.

I think the Knicks’ tactical change has not been fully implemented yet. In fact, the two guards, Madman and Billups, after Zhao Dong and Dazhi opened up such a deep depth, they can completely break through. . "
