NBA Dynasty Sniper

Chapter 386
Zhang Lili took the data sheet and said: "Zhao Dong scored 31 points in the first half, he rarely took shots in the third quarter, and only scored 8 points, and he took over the offense in the final quarter, and scored 18 points so far. Scored 57 points.

His shooting percentage was 58.2%, which was lower than the efficiency of the first three rounds of the playoffs, and also lower than the G1 game. It fell below [-]%. The reason why the Lakers implemented an extreme double-team on him. "

Su Qun said: "His shooting percentage in the final quarter was 53%, lower than the first three quarters, a drop of ten percentage points, which is a bit big."

Zhang Lili said: "Yes, until now, Iron Man can't handle it anymore. I hope he can persevere. It's a pity that O'Neill committed five offenses, and Daben also committed five offenses. If Zhao Dong still has the physical strength, just charge them. , might be able to fight.”

Su Qun sighed and said, "I'm out of stamina. Just a few minutes ago, Feilong could only jump outside and couldn't move. After all, he is not a real iron man."

On the TNT live broadcast, Barkley said: "O'Neal scored 41 points today, and scored 15 points in the last quarter. He made 7 of 6 shots and 8 of 3 free throws. He was very efficient. This is the most important reason for the Lakers to catch up. , the Knicks can't stop him anymore."

Smith said: "If O'Neal can still maintain some physical fitness, the Lakers will have a chance to complete the comeback in the end."

On the Lakers bench, O'Neal kept panting, and he didn't even bother to wipe off the sweat.

He was too tired. Although Kobe helped him attract Zhao Dong's defensive attention in the last quarter, the Knicks tried their best to defend him. Willis and Trent took turns to fight him hard. At the same time, he has to constantly face Zhao Dong's crazy attack on him on the defensive end. His physical energy consumption is very large, which is more tiring than handing over rations to his wife.

On the other side, Zhao Dong was drinking water and panting. His physical energy consumption was at least twice that of O'Neill's. The huge energy consumption was testing his ability to break through the limit of physical energy.

The team doctor is massaging his calves to prevent cramps, and the calves are a little tight.

Old Nelson didn't ask the team doctor about Zhao Dong's situation. Even if he had a cramp, Zhao Dong had to push up in the last minute, even if he couldn't walk, because this was the finals.

The timeout ends and the Knicks attack.

Zhao Dong is still in possession of the ball, with Stackhouse at the second position, John Wallace at the third position, and Willis and Trent working hard inside.

The Lakers replaced Big Ben with Horry. In order to guard against Zhao Dong's impact, they played Big Ben at the end of the quarter.

In the first half of the last quarter, Zhao Dong still had the strength to attack the basket. The Lakers couldn't catch up with the points. But in the next few minutes, he had no impact. He was all jumpers, and his shooting percentage was not very good. That's why the Lakers were allowed to catch up with the points. up.

Bang bang bang, Zhao Dong dribbled the ball two steps outside the top of the frontcourt and controlled the time.

Kobe's physical fitness was almost at the limit, but he still tried his best to defend, with his arms stretched low, and he followed Zhao Dong constantly.

"The main defensive shot, he can't rush up, it must be a shot."

In his mind, he made this judgment based on Zhao Dong's state a few minutes ago.

At 18 seconds, 19 seconds, and 20 seconds, Zhao Dong suddenly took a step forward and made a breakthrough.

"False sudden real shot!"

Kobe's body instinctively wanted to retreat to defend, but he was forced to stop it immediately.

He firmly believed that his judgment was correct, Zhao Dong was already unable to charge up, even if he rushed in forcefully, he should be able to catch up.

What's more, there is an inside defensive barrier inside. Zhao Dong, who has no impact, is a tiger that has lost his teeth. The barrier of O'Neill and Da Ben is an unattainable roof of the world for Zhao Dong.

Just when Kobe forcibly stopped backing and his body froze, Zhao Dong really took back the step he had taken.

"correct!"

Kobe instantly became excited, and his frozen body immediately rushed forward.

He is taking this opportunity to go close and create opportunities for his teammates to double-team.

But at this moment, Zhao Dong turned around and jumped directly at the forward Kobe, holding the ball to the top of the arc.

"Oops!"

Kobe was shocked, Zhao Dong was not fake, he was real.

"Does he still have power?"

At this time, he suddenly remembered that just a few minutes before this, Zhao Dong hadn't made a breakthrough, but just made jump shots. Could it be that he was recharging his energy?
"Boss, don't blame me!"

Daben returned to the basket, made up first, and blocked Zhao Dong.

But at this moment, Zhao Dong was unlucky, he changed his right hand to control the ball with his left hand, and under a small change of direction to the left, he jumped from the left side, went straight to the basket, and jumped up after taking a small step , Facing O'Neal is a dunk.

"Oh!"

The next moment, he was pulled directly to the floor by O'Neill, and fell hard.

"Di!"

The referee's whistle blew.

"not good!"

Phil Jackson, who had been standing on the sidelines, felt a little nervous in his heart. O'Neal has committed five crimes, now?
The referee pointed to the off-court and signaled that O'Neal, who had committed six fouls, was off the field.

O'Neill was a little dazed. The pulling just now was his instinctive reaction, and he couldn't control it at all. He couldn't get used to Zhao Dong's buckle.

"Ha ha……"

Zhao Dong, who was lying on the floor, gasped and laughed twice.

He really doesn't have much energy now. He was lazy for a few minutes just now, just for this breakthrough, and finally rushed to O'Neill.

"Boss."

Several teammates ran over and pulled Zhao Dong up.

O'Neill glanced at Zhao Dong unwillingly, and walked down the field helplessly.

Zhao Dong walked to the free throw line, took a few breaths and then made the first free throw. 102:106, the Knicks led by 4 points.

For the second free throw, he was still very cautious and took several dribbles before taking the shot.

"brush!"

Hollow into the basket.

"Beautiful, Zhao Dong's free throw is still accurate at the critical moment. Now it is 102:107, and the Knicks lead by 5 points."

Zhang rationally explained excitedly.

"There are still 45 seconds left, the Lakers start to attack." Su Qun said.

"Without Shaquille O'Neal, the Lakers lost their control inside, and Horry was replaced inside, but Horry's low-post offense is not very good. Now the Lakers rely entirely on the outside. Let's see how they play." Zhang Lili yelled.

At this time, Harper advanced to the front court, and Zhao Dongfang was in front.

Trent was pulled to the left corner by Horry, Willis and Ben were active in the low post, Kobe and Stackhouse were on the right wing, and Glenn Rice and John Wallace were on the left wing.

The Lakers now have no other offensive options, and can only be handed over to Kobe to create opportunities for others.

Bryant ran without the ball, dropped Stackhouse after running back consecutively, entered the wing, received the ball from Harper, and reached the paint.

Zhao Dong sinks from the high position, ready to return to the basket.

When Kobe hit the right elbow in the paint with the ball, he suddenly stopped and made a jump shot. At the critical moment, he didn't pass the ball and chose to play by himself. He hit a mid-range shot and bit the score.

"104:107, 28 seconds left." Barkley said.

Knicks attack.

Zhao Dong holds the ball and advances unhurriedly. Kobe defends in front, retreats and defends.

Barkley yelled: "Now the dragon scored 59 points, breaking Kim Baylor's 61 points and three points away, just like the G1 game, let us look forward to the moment when he breaks the record."

After approaching the top of the arc, Zhao Dong gestured to pull away, and the basket was pulled empty.

"Turn, or shoot?" Kobe's mind was spinning rapidly.

But the last time he was attacked, this time he was unable to make a decisive judgment.

Bang, bang, Zhao Dong is still in possession of the ball, not in a hurry to start the attack.

20 second, 21 seconds...

"No time, definitely a shot."

At this time, Kobe finally made a judgment, he took a small half step forward, lest Zhao Dong make a sudden shot, and it would be too late to take off and block the shot.

But at this moment, Zhao Dong began to break through, taking a step forward, without any temptation, and directly forced Kobe.

"Fucked again!"

Kobe was in a hurry and retreated in a hurry.

But at this moment, Zhao Dong slammed on the brakes and stopped one step inside the three-point line at the top of the arc, while Kobe took a step back, losing his defensive position, and the distance between the two was more than one meter.

In the next instant, Zhao Dong stepped back from the three-point line, and then calmly shot a jump shot in the sight of Kobe bleeding.

The ball flew to the basket, and all eyes were on the orange basketball.

"brush!"

Splashes appeared and a three-pointer was hit.

"Ow!"

The Knicks fans in the audience raised their arms and shouted wildly, boiling.

"Beautiful! Congratulations to Feilong, you broke the record of 1962 points in a single game set by Kim Belle in the 61 Finals, and you are now the holder of the number one score in a single game in the Finals."

Barkley roared excitedly.

"104:110, Flying Dragon decided the game with one goal, the Knicks led by 6 points, with 5.4 seconds left, the Lakers had no chance."

Smith growled excitedly.

"This record that has been silent for 38 years has finally been broken!"

On the sidelines, Jordan shook his head and said to Magic Johnson next to him in an admiring tone: "Flying Dragon played too calmly, Kobe looked a little tender in front of him."

Johnson also shook his head and sighed: "He can't move at all. Kobe should believe in his own judgment. He obviously chose a defensive shot."

"If you were thrown back like you, who would dare to ignore Feilong's breakthrough? Even if he knew he couldn't move, who would dare to let him go?"

Jordan said disdainfully.

The magician was startled, then nodded with a wry smile.

The Lakers then adopted foul tactics, trying to fight for a chance, but it was useless. The Knicks did not have O'Neal, and the hacking tactics were useless.

At the end, 104:113, the Knicks won by 9 points, won the crucial second home game, and will go to Los Angeles with a big score of [-]-[-].

"It's not easy to win this game. The Lakers are really strong." Zhang Reasonable said in admiration.

"If it wasn't for the slashing tactic used in the third quarter, the Knicks might not have won this game." Su Qun laughed.

"It's really possible." Zhang Lili laughed and said.

粟群笑道：“飞龙全场39投23中，命中率58.9%，三分球4投2中，16罚14中，又砍下了62分，加上17篮板6助攻3抢断6盖帽2失误5犯规，又是一份超豪华的数据。”

"Absolutely, the highest score in a single game in the finals!" Zhang Lili laughed excitedly.

At this time, in the TNT live broadcast, Barkley said with a smile: "In the G1G2 game, Feilong averaged 61.5 points per game. This is the only one in the finals in the history of the league. He is the only one who scored two consecutive games in the finals. A superstar with 60+ points and the record of scoring the first in a single game in the Finals with 62 points, these two records are enough for him to remember the history of the league."

"I want to see him break Jordan's record of 69 points in the playoffs, and the record of 29 points in a single playoff quarter, and Thomas' record of 25 points in a single quarter in the Finals."

Kenny Smith smiled authentically.

Barkley shook his head and said: "Fighting against the Lakers, these records are quite difficult, because the dragon needs to match O'Neal on both ends of the offense and defense, and the Lakers executed extreme double-teaming on him, which consumes too much energy."

Smith looked through the records and said: "In this game, the Lakers had a total of 26 double-teams, 8 three-teams, 5 four-teams, and 9 five-teams against the Dragons. The number of clips is 48 times.

Among these 48 times, 8 times were double-teams without the ball, and 40 times were double-teamed with the ball.

Of the 40 double-teams, the Dragons took 32 total shots and chose to pass the ball 8 times. "

Barkley praised: "An average of 12 double-teams per quarter, the defensive pressure faced by the Dragons is no less than that of Michael at his peak.

That's how the Pistons defended against Jordan back then, but now the Lakers don't have such dirty defensive moves on the Dragon.

At this point, the defensive environment Feilong faces is not as bad as Jordan. "

Smith said: "Now that the Lakers are behind zero to two, they should have some advantages when they return to the home court. The Lakers should use the advantage of three home courts to bring the big score back."

Barkley said: "The Lakers should not have the strength to win all three home games. As long as the Knicks win an away game and then return to New York, the Knicks with the match point will have the home court advantage, so the pressure on the Lakers is now. Should be quite large."

Zhao Dong briefly accepted the interview on the spot, answered two questions, and ended the interview because he was too tired.

Back in the locker room, I saw Trent and veteran Willis lying on massage chairs, receiving massages from the team doctor and his assistants.

"Kevin, Gary, how are you doing now?" Zhao Dong went over and asked.

"Oh, my old bones were tossed and broken by the shark." Willis said with a tired face.

Zhao Dong looked at Trent, who also looked tired and didn't want to say anything.

Shaking his head, he looked back at Old Nelson, who said, "They must reduce their playing time in G3, that's for sure."

"Coach, let me go, I can do it." Fortson, who was wearing the Knicks' unique black gentleman's suit, shouted expectantly.

Old Nelson glanced at Fortson, he had no choice but to nod.

"yeah!"

Fortson growled excitedly.

Although his knees are failing and his condition has declined a lot, under the encouragement of Zhao Dong, the fighting spirit in his heart is still there, and he doesn't want to end his career here, he still wants to prove himself.

Barkley was wrong. The pressure on the Lakers is not very high, but very, very, very high.

Leaving the court in a hurry, the Lakers returned to the visiting team's locker room. The atmosphere was very heavy. No one spoke, even O'Neal, who usually likes to play tricks in the locker room, didn't say a word.

Phil Jackson observed the locker room and began to summarize the game. He said: "Everyone worked hard tonight, everyone did a good job, and played very unitedly..."

"But we still lost," O'Neill muttered.

Phil Jackson nodded and said: "Either win or lose, we didn't bite at the last critical moment, we need to do better in the next series.

Back at home, we have home court advantage, we can definitely do better, and we still have a great chance to get back.

We must win all three home games. "

After boosting morale, Phil Jackson breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the atmosphere in the locker room had improved a little.

Next, he gets to actually wrapping up the game.

"On the defensive end, we tried our best. The continuous extreme defense against the flying dragon has consumed too much energy. This tactic has both advantages and disadvantages. It is worth studying whether to continue."

Phil Jackson noticed that it is precisely because too much energy is invested on the defensive end that the Lakers cannot invest more energy on the offensive end. This mainly refers to O'Neal.

For example, O'Neal participated in the double-team defense against Zhao Dong throughout the whole process, which consumed his physical energy a lot, thus reducing the offense at the basket.

The same goes for the others, dozens of times of double-teaming, the physical energy consumed in it can completely wear them down.

And this is why the Lakers only made 9 five-teams and 5 four-teams against Zhao Dong tonight, because they don't have more physical strength to do this kind of extreme defense.

Back then, the Pistons defended Jordan to the limit. With the dirty actions of those bad boys, they could only last half of the court, and they couldn't last the rest of the half.

"But the bigger problem we face is..."

Having said that, Phil Jackson looked at O'Neill.

O'Neill was taken aback, but quickly realized that his face couldn't help but become embarrassed.

"...Killing tactics." Phil Jackson continued.

An hour after the game, the two teams held their own press conferences.

"Coach Nixon, in the third quarter, you executed consecutive slashing tactics against O'Neal. Have you normalized this tactic?"

At the Knicks press conference, a reporter from the Los Angeles Sports News asked indignantly.

"If necessary, I will." Old Nelson said with a smile.

"you?"

The reporter was furious.
