Chapter 374 Making an Efficient Postman
At this point the game begins and the number team attacks.

"Oh, the Knicks have changed from zone defense to man-to-man, and the dragon is on the postman. Who will defend if Iverson goes in?" Barkley asked in surprise.

"That rookie Manu Ginobili can't keep up with Iverson." Smith shook his head.

"Shh!"

"Di!"

On the court, Zhao Dong was taken out of the paint by the postman, and Iverson rushed to Ginobili, entered the paint, and hit Willis with a two-plus-one.

"Boss?"

Ginobili looked at Zhao Dong, not because he didn't work hard or desperately, but he really couldn't keep up with Iverson's breakthrough.

"Just try your best." Zhao Dong could only say so.

Only he knows that Iverson in this life is stronger than the previous one, much stronger, and Iverson in this season is stronger than last season.

Don't say that Ginobili is a rookie now, even in his peak period, he can't even try to guard Iverson.

After all, in terms of potential and strength, the two sides are a level behind. The gap between Ginobili and Iverson in this life is even greater than in the previous life.

"Shh!"

Iverson made a free throw, and the digital team completed the lead in the score for the first time tonight.

33:32, the Knicks attack.

Ginobili took possession of the ball in the frontcourt, then handed it over to Zhao Dong, and began to run without the ball.

Zhao Dong dribbled the ball outside the three-point line on the left wing while making a gesture of pulling away.

He was on the outside, that is, the absolute height, the digital team switched defenses, and Toni Kukoc played against him.

"Teaming."

Larry Brown immediately shouted from the sidelines.

The postman in the paint immediately dropped Willis and rushed towards Zhao Dong.

Meanwhile, Trellon Hill on the right dropped Gary Trent to cover Willis.

Gary Trent is empty, his mid-range mid-range shot is good, this season he hit 46%, but only 41% in the first round of the playoffs, so Zhao Dong didn't make a pass, and his own shots are higher than this .

bang bang...

When the postman rushed over, Zhao Dong didn't rush to make a shot before the double-team, but dribbled the ball calmly, and he didn't start to break through until the postman came up.

"squeak!"

With the sharp friction sound of the sneakers, Zhao Dong's right foot suddenly took a step to the right, making a breakthrough.

Toni Kukoc and the postman who had just pounced on him immediately reacted instinctively, and when they moved, their hearts shifted.

Of course, their movement also blocked Zhao Dong's breakthrough.

But at this time Zhao Dong took a step forward, stopped immediately, and retracted it.

"Testing step!" Zhang Lili shouted anxiously.

Zhao Dong took a second step with his right foot, this time to the left. At the same time, he was unlucky, and he rushed past Toni Kukoc and went into the flank.

The postman immediately turned around, because he was on the inside, Zhao Dong's breakthrough was on the outside, and on the left side, he was closer to the paint area, and he was sure to make up the defense before Zhao Dong went in.

He turned around and moved down two steps. Zhao Dong came forward with the ball. He immediately adjusted his position, stared at the latter fiercely, and prepared to block the shot.

Zhao Dong's pull-up jump shot is very good, but his ability to block shots is mediocre. In this defense, he was mentally prepared for a fierce foul.

"squeak!"

Amidst the sound of the sneakers rubbing, Zhao Dong did come to a sudden stop. Under the deceleration, there was no sudden stop and jump shot as the postman thought.

"Slayed in!" Su Qun shouted excitedly.

One step later, Zhao Dong sprinted into the paint, and after another step, he flew up against the inside line Teyron Hill of the digital team at the basket.

His speed is too fast, and Tyron Hill can only passively defend in a reasonable collision zone and take off vertically to defend.

Under Zhao Dong's full jump, he jumped very high, surpassing Hill by more than a head, and bent down from the top to the bottom, like a heavy bomber, crashing into Hill.

"Woooo..."

At this moment, the on-site commentator simulated the bombing siren.

"Oh!"

Hill flew in response, and was directly knocked into the air.

"boom!"

The next moment, there was a violent basket explosion sound.

"Oh!"

The audience was boiling, and countless home fans stood up one after another, raising their arms and shouting wildly.

"Uh!"

Troyishil hit the floor, slipped two meters, and stopped after hitting the basket, causing him to groan in pain.

"Hoo ho ho ho..."

Excited, the on-site commentator let out a series of strange screams.

"Boss, kill him!"

Waving a pair of fists, Fordson on the sidelines shouted at Zhao Dong on the court.

"It's terrible! Feilong activated the ultimate attack weapon, his impact power is unmatched! His lethality is infinite! The insiders of the digital team will become his victims."

In the TNT live broadcast, Barkley shouted excitedly.

"Feilong, just fight like this, I see how the digital team can stop it?" Su Qun shouted excitedly in the CCTV live broadcast.

"In such a fight, the digital team can't handle the inside line at all, and there will be fouls and even injuries soon. Everyone in the Knicks can pull away, and Zhao Dong's breakthrough tactics have plenty of room for display." Zhang Lili said excitedly.

After Zhao Dong made a free throw, at 33:35, the Knicks took the lead.

Numbers team attack.

Still the same tactic, the postman pulled out and Iverson rushed in.

The postman was pulled one step inside the three-point line, Zhao Dong was pulled to the left wing, one step away from the paint, and the postman was two steps away.

Zhao Dong and the postman are on the weak side. Digital team point guard Eric Snow gave the ball to Iverson on the right wing. Come.

In this life, Iverson has a higher shooting percentage at the basket, reaching 61%, and nearly two points as high as 41%. The threat of breakthroughs is much higher than in the previous life.

This time, facing Iverson's breakthrough, Zhao Dong resolutely gave up the postman and rushed back to the basket.

The postman's mid-range shooting percentage is only 41%. Compared with the threat posed by Iverson's rush to the basket, he chose to help defend Iverson.

Facing Zhao Dong's double-teaming, Iverson was very rational. He knew that if he wanted to beat Zhao Dong, he had to rely on the postman's help, so he chose to split the ball and gave it to the vacant postman.

The postman caught the ball and made a precise hit to tie the score.

Knicks attack.

All five of them opened up, and Zhao Dong still held the ball outside the three-point line on the left wing.

The digital team is still a zone defense, but it is no longer the postman who comes up to double-team, but Iverson who comes to double-team.

Iverson's defense in this life is stronger than his previous life, but his strength is limited. What he is stronger than his previous life is mainly offense.

When Iverson rushed over, Zhao Dong casually pushed the ball through the gap between Iverson and Toni Kukoc, and gave it to Ginobili who cut in.

Ginobili was released by Iverson, and immediately cut to the basket. At this time, he caught the ball and immediately encountered the postman and Tyron Hill's double-team.

"The digital team played a good zone defense." Barkley praised at this time.

When he said this, Zhao Dong had already started to move quickly to the top of the arc, and then received a return pass from Ginobili.

Iverson was the only one following him. Toni Kukoc was too slow to keep up. He caught the ball and took off. With a bang, he hit an open three-pointer at the top of the arc.

Barkley laughed and said: "Iverson defends the dragon, he has to jump at least 150 centimeters."

35:38, the Knicks lead.

Looking back, the digital team's offense is still the same tactic.

This time, Iverson, who was double-teamed by the basket, once again chose to give the postman the ball.

However, this time the Postman missed the open shot.

When Iverson scored the ball, Marion quickly defended the postman. He has long arms and bounces high and fast, which created a certain defensive pressure on the postman.

Zhao Dong and Willis protected the backcourt rebounds under the basket. Of course Tyron Hill and Iverson couldn't grab the rebound. Zhao Dong grabbed the rebound and the Knicks attacked.

Zhao Dong was double-teamed by Toni Kukoc and Iverson again. He moved continuously with the dribble, got rid of the double-team, and encountered the postman and Tyron Hill outside the left line of the left-wing paint area. folder.

"Boss!"

At this time, Marion suddenly started cutting from the weak side.

"boom!"

Zhao Dong made a random throw with one hand, Marion flew up, and scored a goal in the alley-oop.

"The bad effect of double-teaming Flying Dragon is that you can limit his shots to a certain extent, but you can't limit his passing and assists."

Barkley said with a grin.

"Sean, the supplementary defense just now was good, so let's do that."

Zhao Dong did not praise Marion's offense this time, but praised the defense last time, because now the Knicks are not incapable of attacking, but defending.

"Yes, boss." Marion said excitedly.

In the next game, Zhao Dong continued to defend the basket on the defensive end and prevented Iverson from attacking the basket. The postman got a lot of opportunities from the outside.

However, Marion stepped up his supplementary defense, which somewhat reduced the postman's efficiency.

And Zhao Dong is still extremely strong on the offensive end, either attacking or passing, and his efficiency remains high.

In this way, at halftime, 57:64, the Knicks led by 7 points.

Zhao Dong made 21 of 14 shots in the half, and his shooting percentage was 66.6%, which was a bit lower than the first quarter. He made 4 of 2 three-pointers and 10 of 9 free throws, scoring a total of 39 points.

In addition to scoring, he also grabbed 6 rebounds, sent 5 assists, and sent [-] blocked shots and [-] steal, performing extremely well.

The email combination contributed 35 points, Iverson had 21 points, and the postman had 14 points. Their performance was also extraordinary.

Zhang Lili analyzed during the half-time break: "The other three starters of the digital team scored 11 points, and the substitute players scored 11 points. The other four starters of the Knicks scored 19 points, and the substitute only scored 6 points. From here Judging from the relevant data, the digital team's bench is indeed stronger."

"Flying Dragon's scoring exceeded [-]% of the team's scoring, which shows that the Knicks' main lineup is weak."

Su Qun said: "Marion and Ginobili are two rookies playing in the playoffs for the first time, and they are really not used to it, and they are holding back."

Zhang Lili smiled and said: "Marion's performance in the second quarter was a little better. The defense was good. His tonnage is very light and his speed is very fast. If he didn't defend the postman, the postman would score more points, and the Knicks couldn't lead. 7 points."

Su Qun said: "Indeed, the postman made 13 of 6 shots and 2 of 2 free throws in the half, and his shooting percentage was 46%. If it’s not in place, the postman’s hit rate must be more than 46%.”

Zhang Lili smiled and said: "Such a superstar, if you really let him go, it is possible to make nine out of ten shots. You must make up the defense in time."

In the TNT live broadcast, Barkley said: "The test of the Knicks now is the state of the dragon. The efficiency of the second quarter has dropped a bit, but they can still maintain a 66% shooting rate. This is a terrible efficiency."

Smith said in amazement: "Yes, you must know that a giant under the basket like Shaquille O'Neal has a shooting percentage of less than [-]%."

Barkley checked the information and immediately added: "O'Neal's shooting percentage in the first round was 56.6%, which was just 10 percentage points lower than that of the Dragons. This is a huge gap."

Smith nodded and said: "If the Lakers reach the finals this time, O'Neal must, and only by playing more efficient offense at the basket, can he equalize the efficiency gap between him and the Dragons, otherwise the Lakers will be difficult to play."

In the locker room of the home team, Zhao Dong was lying on a massage table, and the team doctor gave him a massage.

However, there is no problem with his body. With a physical fitness level of 100, he has already surpassed the limit of the human body.

"Feilong, do you want to take a break in the third quarter?" Old Nelson asked worriedly.

"No need." Zhao Dong said briefly.

After his physical fitness broke through the limit, it was not only reflected in the physical reserve, his physical recovery speed also exceeded the limit of the human body.

Resting for more than ten minutes in the middle, even equivalent to half an hour for ordinary people, can allow him to recover more physically, and there will be no problems in the second half.

At this time, in the visiting team's locker room, Larry Brown was arranging tactics for the second half.

He didn't have any arrangement on the offensive end, he just let the email team play, the postman pulled out, and Iverson played sudden scoring tactics.

Simple, but effective, as simple and efficient as the Jazz's pick-and-roll tactics in the previous black and white era.

Both Iverson and the postman are stars who need to double-team, even superstars. This tactic makes the digital team invincible.

On the defensive end, he rearranged his tactics.

He first said to the postman with a serious face: "Carl, I need you to improve your efficiency. When the Knicks defended you, why didn't they use your elbows? Except for the flying dragon, no one is afraid of your elbows. It's you weapon."

The postman nodded silently.

He didn't use his elbows much before, because he had some scruples about Zhao Dong, and he was afraid that Zhao Dong would be rough on him, but now he can't care about it anymore.

Larry Brown went on to say: "The Knicks strengthened the weak-side cut tactics in the second quarter, and the dragon strengthened the pass. We must prevent them from continuing to play like this.

In the second half, we have to strengthen the inside defense and force them to shoot outside.We fight like this..."

After a while, the second half begins.

For the digital team, the starting lineup for the first quarter was restored.

For the Knicks, Zhao Dong and Willis partnered on the inside, with Rodgers on the front line and Manu Ginobili and Stackhouse on the back line.

Su Qun said with great anticipation: "Feilong's current scoring record in a single game is 56 points in the regular season, 52 points in the playoffs, and 52 points is also his scoring record in a single game in the finals. He is likely to break this record today. How many have you seen?"

"Now with 39 points, if we continue our main attack, we will definitely break the record." Zhang Lili said equally excitedly.

Numbers team attack.

The postman received Iverson's breakthrough ball, Rodgers rushed to defend, was frightened by his elbow, and then hit a mid-range two-pointer.

59:64, the Knicks still lead by 5 points at home.

Barkley said with a smile: "The postman used an elbow on Rogers. This is his deterrent power. Rogers is obviously timid. The Knicks' defensive strength should decrease, and the postman's efficiency will be improved."

Knicks attack.

Zhao Dong ran without the ball on the right wing this time, Ginobili controlled the ball at the top of the arc, Stackhouse moved on the left wing, Willis was in the low post, and Rodgers pulled to the left corner.

On the sidelines, Larry Brown's mind was wandering. Is it an off-ball double-team or a zone defense?
Of course, there is a conflict between the two. Once there is no ball double-teaming, one must be empty. There is no such thing as a four-on-three zone defense, because the zone defense is to form partly to play more and less, and there is no such thing as less to play more. joint defense.

So once there is no ball double-teaming, one must be emptied and man-to-man defense.

"Take him!"

Soon, thinking of the points Zhao Dong had scored today, he made a decision.

Immediately, the digital team on the field gave up the zone defense and changed to man-to-man.

George Lynch and the postman immediately started double-teaming Zhao Dong, Eriksnow stared at Ginobili, Iverson stared at Stackhouse, Leo Latliff stared at Willis, Rodgers in the left corner was caught empty.

Of course Ginobili saw Rogers' wide opening, and he passed it.

Rogers received the ball, and Iverson above had a good defensive attitude. He immediately made up the defense, but he couldn't stop his shot.

When he caught the ball, Zhao Dong had already rushed to the basket, ready to grab an offensive rebound.

"Shh!"

Splashes appeared and a three-pointer was hit.

59:67, the digital team attacks.

"Teaming without the ball, especially on the perimeter, has serious consequences!" Barkley reminded with a smile.

Smith said with a smile: "Without-ball double-teaming on the outside, not to mention the wide open for the offensive team, the defensive team can't take advantage of the number of people inside, and can't get an advantage in rebounding in the backcourt. Therefore, there is no ball-teaming outside. With off-ball double-teaming, the consequences are more serious."

Barkley said with a smile: "Compared to O'Neal, double-teaming him in the low post and double-teaming the Dragons outside, there is no doubt that double-teaming the Dragons outside will make the defense face greater difficulties."

But Larry Brown made up his mind and still used off-ball double-teaming against Zhao Dong.

Although Zhao Dong was on the inside in the second half, he was always active on the outside. He held down the two defensive players of the digital team on the outside, which not only made his teammates open, but also prevented the digital team from having a numerical advantage in the low post. .

In this case, if his teammates can hit a lot of open balls, since he does not attack, relying on his containment force, the Knicks will have no problem attacking.

Conversely, the Knicks are also man-to-man, but there is no off-ball double-team. Instead, Zhao Dong double-teams Iverson who breaks into the paint. Supplementary defense against the postman.

However, this kind of supplementary defense is not always in place. When the supplementary defense is in place, it will face the postman's elbow. Therefore, the postman's supplementary defense in the third quarter is not very successful.

After the third quarter, the postman made 10 of 7 shots and 3 of 2 free throws, scoring 16 points. The Knicks failed to defend him.
