Chapter 382 Shark, you are not strong enough, you need to gain weight
巴克利笑道：“飞龙10投8中，4罚4中，单节轰下20分6篮板3助攻1抢断1盖帽1犯规，效率惊人，湖人对他的防守可以说完全失败。”

Smith shook his head and said in admiration: "Since the Dragons are fully fired in the playoffs, the Knicks' scoring ability has obviously improved a level compared to the regular season. Thirty points in a single quarter have become very common."

Barkley suddenly said seriously: "In order to increase the suspense of the finals, I think the Lakers must find a way to limit the efficiency of the Dragons and increase O'Neal's shots, otherwise there will be no suspense in this series and it will affect our ratings."

Smith laughed and asked, "So Charles, judging from the performance in the first quarter, the Lakers don't seem to be the Knicks' opponents, what do you think?"

Shaking his head, Barkley said: "O'Neal is the key. His scoring ability has not yet exploded. How to get the ball into his hands is a problem that Phil Jackson has to solve now. Once O'Neal is under the basket With the ball, the two flying dragons may not be able to prevent him from scoring."

"Invincible, unstoppable!"

During the live broadcast of CCTV, Zhang Lili summarized Zhao Dong's performance in the first quarter.

Su Qun said excitedly: "We always say that Ben Wallace's defense is very strong, but under the attack of the flying dragon, we seem to be unable to see his defensive effect."

Zhang Lili smiled and said: "This is because Zhao Dong's offensive firepower is too strong, and it is impossible for Daben to defend against it.

Zhao Dong played Daben, and didn't give him a chance to defend at all. He pulled out and then rushed in, using his mobility and speed several grades faster, making Daben's defense useless.

The second reason is that Daben's defense is stronger than the auxiliary defense. His single defense is worse, especially because he can't deal with tall and large insiders and technical insiders. Zhao Dong is the best insider. He is also an insider with a lot of physical fitness.

The third is that Zhao Dong is too familiar with Daben, and he hit Daben to reduce dimensionality, so it is not surprising that Daben was blown up. "

On the sidelines, Lakers general manager Jerry West felt a little heavy.

He signed Ben Wallace with a big contract to strengthen the Lakers' inside line. This deal really allowed the Lakers to play very well in the regular season. Big Ben took the pressure off the defensive end for O'Neal and saved the Sharks a lot physical fitness.

However, now he realizes that Ben Wallace is not very useful when he meets the Knicks, and even becomes a drag on the offensive end of the Lakers, allowing the Knicks to double-team O'Neal without the ball.

On the bench, Phil Jackson is also having a headache with Ben Wallace.

Now that O'Neal enters the basket to play, he cannot avoid the consequences of being double-teamed under the basket, because Ben Wallace has no ability to pull out and cannot take Zhao Dong away.

His mind was spinning rapidly, and he needed to decide whether to continue to let Ben Wallace cooperate with O'Neal, or replace him.

In the second quarter, Zhao Dong and Kobe continued to lead their respective substitute lineups, and Da Ben continued to be on the court.

In the third minute, 3:24, the Knicks led by 40 points.

Phil Jackson shook his head. Seeing that Da Ben couldn't defend against Zhao Dong, he could only make a decision to replace Da Ben.

Anyway, if you can't prevent it, it's better to let an insider who can be opened to take away an insider from the Knicks.

As for whether the insider who was taken away was Zhao Dong, it didn't matter, as long as O'Neal was double-teamed without the ball at the basket, it would be fine. Anyway, even if Zhao Dong defended O'Neal, the only result would be to be blown up.

The Lakers attacked, he called a timeout, and then replaced the main lineup, but Big Ben came down and replaced the backup power forward Robert Horry.

He gave Horry only one offensive task, to pull out and take away one of the Knicks' insiders.

However, he has some hidden worries. Horry's three-pointers are not very good this season, only 30.9% in the regular season, and even worse in the playoffs, only 28.8%.

But he still believes in Horry. Horry's psychological quality is excellent, and he can still be trusted at critical times.

O'Neal re-entered the court, and with Horry as a shooter beside him, he felt that his spring was coming. As soon as he reached the frontcourt, he rushed to the basket ambitiously.

Horry, on the other hand, pulled directly to the bottom left corner, like a poisonous snake, lying in wait for an opportunity.

When Zhao Dong saw it, he had no choice but to defend O'Neal, the strongest point of the Lakers, and let Gary Trent, who came off the bench, follow Horry.

There is no way to double-team without the ball, and Zhao Dong can't hold O'Neal, so he can only go around and defend.

But immediately, he was pushed away by O'Neal, and the ball was hoisted to the basket.

"boom!"

An alley-oop dunk, O'Neal, who was hanging on the basket, roared excitedly.

Barkley shook his head and said: "Whether it is tonnage or height, the flying dragon is absolutely small in front of the big shark. Once the shark enters the basket, the flying dragon has no way to defend and must double-team.

Now that Horilla goes out, in fact, Gary Trent can't keep up, so it's better to replace it with a faster small forward. "

Smith said: "Flying Dragon's main job is to attack. He defends against the Sharks alone at the basket. He will definitely not defend with all his strength, because then he will be blown up by the Sharks soon. Once the number of fouls increases, it will be even worse. It might still be beaten."

Barkley nodded and said, "So now the Knicks want to solve O'Neal's problem and put one in?"

"Let who?" Kenny Smith asked.

"Ron Harper?"

Barkley asked himself and answered: "The point guard cannot be released easily. His passing and breakthrough must be restricted. Kobe and Glen Rice cannot be released either, only Horry?"

"It depends on the choice of old Nelson." Smith said.

At this time, Zhao Dong was on the left flank, and Huo Li defended him alone.

Horry's defense is different from Daben's. Daben relies on strength. He is somewhat similar to Pippen's defense. He stalks Zhao Dong and doesn't let him go, and he doesn't even let him catch the ball.

Zhao Dong's response was very simple. He suddenly took a step back and asked for the ball. When Horry followed, he suddenly bypassed Horry and rushed to the paint area.

Horry tried to grab him, but he blocked it with an arm.

Although he couldn't carry O'Neill, one arm was enough to deal with Horry, who weighed only 100 kilograms.

"Snapped!"

At this time the ball came down, he took a step forward after catching the ball, made an emergency stop jumper on the left line of the paint zone, and hit a ball over the head of Kobe who was defending.

O'Neal wanted to make up for it at the basket, but was afraid that Zhao Dong would pass in, so he could only stick to the basket and watch Zhao Dong make a move.

"There is no problem on the offensive end. It is impossible for the Lakers to defend the dragon. In the past few seasons, Phil Jackson has never done this. Now it depends on the defensive end. Can the Knicks defend O'Neal? If they can't defend , then we can only watch O'Neill and Feilong's mutual explosion." Barkley laughed.

Smith said with a smile: "If the Knicks dare to let Horry go, they will have to pay a big price. There is no defender in front of Horry, and his shots are still very accurate."

Barkley's words became true, and then the Knicks released Horry a few times, and Horry made two shots in a row, so they dared not release again, and Zhao Dong still defended O'Neal alone.

"No one can prevent anyone, let's explode each other!"

Zhang Lili shook his head and said, "But when O'Neal is under the basket, his shooting percentage can reach [-]%. Most of Zhao Dong's offenses today are nearly two-point jump shots, which cannot reach [-]% shooting."

At halftime, 48:57, the Lakers recovered some points, and the Knicks still maintained the lead relying on their original advantage.

After 9 minutes of the second quarter, O'Neal made 8 of 7 shots, 4 of 2 free throws, and scored 16 points. In addition to scoring in the first quarter, he made 12 of 10 shots in the half, shooting 83.3%, and 7 of 3 free throws. scored 23 points.

赵东在次节的手感不如首节，10投6中，2罚1中，拿下13分，半场20投14中，命中率70%，6罚5中，砍下了33分11篮板4助攻1抢断2盖帽2犯规的数据。

The efficiency is still astonishing, even exceeding the average level, but after halftime, O'Neal relied on his strong dominance at the basket to achieve higher efficiency than him, which is why the score was caught up.

Barkley said with a smile: "In the battle of efficiency, after O'Neal was not double-teamed, he exploded with amazing dominance at the basket, and he played amazing efficiency.

Feilong's single defense against O'Neal was blown up, because he was charged with the main offensive task with all his strength and could not do his best on the defensive end. For him who had already made two fouls, the team should not expect him to defend against O'Neal in the second half. As long as there is one more foul, His defensive strength will continue to decline. "

Smith said: "O'Neal has not received a strong defense at the basket, then this will have very bad results. His physical consumption will not be so large, and his offensive efficiency will not be affected. If the Knicks can't solve the basket. Trouble, the result of this game is really hard to say."

During the live broadcast of CCTV, Zhang Reasonable analyzed: "As for the mutual explosion between O'Neal and Zhao Dong, there has been a unified opinion for a long time. It's not good to defend Zhao Dong, even double-teaming.

But the Knicks can no longer allow O'Neal to enter the basket. The efficiency of the basket is too high and he must be prevented from approaching the basket.

In addition, although Zhao Dong scored 33 points in the half and made 6 free throws, his impact on the inside of the Lakers was not enough. He must strengthen his impact on the basket, because O'Neal only fouled once. "

Su Qun nodded and said, "That's right, Feilong seems to be playing back and forth today. It rarely hits O'Neal directly, and basically shoots close to the basket."

In the locker room of the home team, Nelson Sr. is discussing with Fan and Thibodeau how to defend O'Neal.

Xiao Fan had been thinking about this issue for a long time, and said, "Don, I suggest letting Marion go up and let him double-team O'Neal, because of his speed."

Old Nelson nodded thoughtfully and said, "Marion and Ginobili, plus Stackhouse and Dragon, we can play a faster offensive and defensive rhythm and increase O'Neal's physical consumption."

Xiao Fan said to Zhao Dong at this time: "Feilong, in the second half, we need to strengthen our top defense against O'Neal, and we can't let him get into the basket."

Zhao Dong nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't give Fatty so many chances."

Back at halftime, the Lakers attack.

The Knicks have Zhao Dong, Rodgers, Marion, Stackhouse, and Ginobili, and the Lakers have O'Neal, Horry, Glen Rice, Kobe, and Ron Harper.

Barkley yelled: "The Knicks have completely given up the height inside. The tallest on the field is the flying dragon, 205 cm. Is this a fast break?"

Smith said: "In addition to the power forward position, the Lakers are in the starting lineup."

At the start of the game, Horry pulled to the left bottom corner again, Rodgers followed, and Marion, who was facing Glen Rice on the left wing, took two steps, staring at the top and O'Neal below.

O'Neal wanted to get into the basket again. In the first half, every time he got into the basket, he had no barriers. This time he thought it was, but no, Zhao Dong stood in front of him and prevented him from going in.

"Get out of the way, little man!"

With a deep shout, his strength exploded, and with the addition of tonnage, Zhao Dong in front retreated in response.

But Zhao Dong took a step back, stopped again, and started to defend again, and this gave O'Neill a headache, because of the existence of the offensive three seconds, he couldn't stay in it all the time.

Sure enough, after he pushed Zhao Dong back a step again, it was almost three seconds. At this time, the ball came in, and he was still two meters away from the basket. Zhao Dong was in front of him again. There was no time, so he had to hurry Here came a little toss.

"boom!"

Under Zhao Dong's defense, the ball missed.

"Yes, just play like this, O'Neal's efficiency will not be high." Zhang Li said excitedly.

Zhao Dong turned around and grabbed the backcourt rebound. After frightening the shark away with his elbow, he quickly passed the ball, because the other four teammates were about to go down.

"boom!"

Kobe returned to the defense with all his strength, but the Knicks took advantage of the numbers and played more than less. Stackhouse cut to the basket, received a pass from Ginobili, and dunked a goal.

Zhang Lili continued to analyze: "O'Neal is no better than Zhao Dong, Zhao Dong's offense is too strong, and he can't defend at all, but once O'Neal leaves the basket, his offensive firepower is only average, as long as he is carried twice, it consumes a little offensive time If you don't let him get close to the basket smoothly, you can limit his offensive efficiency, and this ball is easy to play."

At this time, O'Neal entered the frontcourt and ran to the basket again, but was blocked by Zhao Dong again.

"Fatty, you are not strong enough, you need to keep gaining weight! More fat will make you stronger." Zhao Dong, who was pushed back a step, posted it again, provoking with trash talk.

"Short, I'm going to crush you."

Panting, O'Neal pushed forward again.

He is very flexible, but that is only relative to the inside line. Now that Zhao Dong is so dead-on, it is difficult to get around. Zhao Dong's flexibility is several grades higher than his.

O'Neill backed Zhao Dong twice in a row, turned around and blocked Zhao Dong outside the reasonable collision zone, and began to ask for the ball.

The reason why I didn't continue to squeeze to the basket in this position is because I ran out of time.

After Harper dodged Ginobili, he passed the ball in time.

As soon as O'Neal received the ball, he carried Zhao Dong behind him with his left hand, and a small hook near the basket came with his right hand.

At this very close distance to the basket, his small hook shooting rate is still quite high, [-]% is sure.

But just as he made the shot, Marion pounced and blocked him from behind with a flying shot.

"Beautiful! Sean Marion is a big shark with a back hat..." the live commentator roared excitedly.

The ball was not dead yet, Kobe rushed in just in time to grab the ball, and jumped up in front of Zhao Dong.

Zhao Dong violently blocked the shot and was dodged by Kobe, but Kobe didn't make the shot and was snatched by O'Neal.

O'Neal, who had just had a cap, exhaled, stepped up, held the ball in both hands, and slammed into the basket frantically.

If this ball is smashed by him, the backboard may be smashed.

"Special!"

In the second half, it was time to see the real story. Zhao Dong's defense became more intense, and he exploded in an instant, blocking the front of the basket with both hands.

Bang, under O'Neill's huge impact, he flew away in response.

"boom!"

The next moment, in the exclamation of the audience, O'Neal smashed the Knicks' basket.

However, the ball in his hands was gone, and he hit an empty basket.

"Beautiful! The flying dragon blocked O'Neal, and he and Marion blocked O'Neal consecutively..." the live commentator roared excitedly.

"Damn!"

O'Neal, who swallowed another big cap, was about to bleed. This kind of big cap under the basket is an absolute humiliation for a giant under the basket like him.

The ball was still alive and was picked up by Marion, and the Knicks immediately played a defensive counterattack.

Zhao Dong fell to the floor, and then quickly got up and rushed to the frontcourt.

Ginobili dribbled the ball and rushed to the basket. He had seen Kobe chasing after him, so he pulled to the left and gave it to Stackhouse who followed.

Stackhouse received the ball, made a fake pass, and passed it to Zhao Dong who followed behind.

Zhao Dong rushed across the top of the arc, caught the ball into the paint, and flew towards the basket and Kobe under the basket.

"Shet!"

Kobe didn't dare to stand under the basket, so he could only dodge to the side quickly.

"boom!"

With a one-armed tomahawk dunk, Zhao Dong scored a goal.

He didn't hit the dunk hard, because he didn't want to smash the backboard and let O'Neal get a rest.

"The defense this time is really good. The Knicks are really playing on the defensive end. Now the Lakers can't defend Zhao Dong, and as long as the Knicks limit O'Neal's efficiency, the ball will be easier to play."

Zhang Li praised.

Su Qun laughed and said, "O'Neal failed to score consecutive offenses, 48:61, and the Knicks now lead by 13 points."

Next, O'Neill started to touch the fish, so he had to take a breath first.

After Glen Rice made a shot, the Knicks attacked.

Zhao Dong ran without the ball on the left wing, and after dropping Horry, he began to cut into the paint.

For the first cut, Ginobili, who was holding the ball, failed to pass the ball under the defense of Harper. He cut in and then pulled it out. After a circle, he dropped Horry again, and then started to cut inside again .

This time, the ball came in and he caught it and sprinted towards O'Neal.

Kobe made up the defense and was a bit slower. Zhao Dong rushed over and flew up to meet O'Neal.

Seeing Zhao Dong rushing over, O'Neill's eyes turned red.

In the last regular season, he was hit by Zhao Dong twice in a game. Zhao Dong's impact was too strong, he jumped higher than him, and dived from top to bottom. If he died, he could only be knocked away. , and was even knocked into the air.

But this is the finals, he wants to win the championship, he wants to win the FMVP, he doesn't want to back down.
