NBA Dynasty Sniper

Chapter 417
This afternoon, the Blazers held a tactical meeting. Everyone from the relevant management to the coaching staff and players participated, including the owner Paul Allen.

Larry Bird first analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of both sides, and then said: "There is no doubt that we are at an absolute disadvantage in the interior, and the playoffs are no different than the regular season. We will encounter more intense competition in the low post. We need Use appropriate tactics to change or make up for this disadvantage, if we cannot make up and change this disadvantage, we will definitely lose."

Speaking of this, he said to Zhao Dong: "Feilong, what do you think?"

Zhao Dong shook his head and said: "The coaching staff arranges the tactics, and I will execute them. Maybe, use the bloody god-slaying lineup to open the tactics?"

He is not a coach, what can he do?
Larry Bird laughed and said, "You're right, Feilong, let's just fight like that."

Then he said: "Shaquille O'Neal and David Robinson are swinging under the basket, they are two tall towers, so we have to pull them apart.

Inside, we have two people who can stretch, Bryan Grant, Jermaine O, you start. "

"Yes, coach." The two stood up excitedly and shouted.

Larry Bird said again: "Position three, Marion."

"Yes."

Marion also stood up in high spirits.

After two seasons of training, he has gradually grown up and is versatile on both offense and defense.

这个赛季场均30分钟上场时间，拿到了场均16分10篮板1.8助攻1.6抢断1.3盖帽的数据，三分命中率达到了37.5%，整体命中率达到了53%，效率很高。

In addition to shooting, his offense has many dunks from the flanks and many dunks in the fast break, which is the reason for his high efficiency.

At the same time, he showed a strong talent in rebounding, averaging 10 rebounds per game, second only to Zhao Dong.

He is also the person who played the most minutes besides Zhao Dong and Eddie Jones, so he grabbed more rebounds than several inside players.

However, compared with his previous life, his playing time actually declined. In his previous life, he averaged 36 minutes per game with the Suns this season. Almost every statistic was better than this life. Only three-pointers were not enough, and his shooting percentage was 25%. , far inferior to this life, and the overall efficiency is also lower than this life.

Larry Bird said to Marion: "On the defensive end, we must help defend the paint area in time and grab every rebound."

"Understood." Marion said excitedly.

In the last two starts, Larry Bird didn't talk about it. The combination of Zhao Dong and Eddie Jones on the back line, he directly started to talk about tactics.

He said: "The inside line is fully opened, and the three outsiders quickly cut in from the left, center and right. If we cannot defend the Lakers Twin Towers, then we must play high efficiency on the defensive end. We are the same as the Lakers and Knicks last season. Attack."

"Defense, we can't defend, attack, we are not afraid of anyone, the combination of super centers can also blow up." Zhao Dong continued to speak, very imposing and full of confidence.

The Blazers' players and management were also infected. Owner Paul Allen said excitedly: "Then use offense against offense and blow up the Lakers."

"Blow up the Lakers." Everyone shouted.

On the 19th, the G1 match day of the Western Conference Finals.

On this day, a large number of Hollywood stars flew to Portland, and a large number of league stars also flew to Portland.

At night, the Rose Garden Arena is shining brightly with stars,
"Honey, this is the time I have seen the most stars in the Rose Garden." Looking at the stars and stars on the sidelines, a male fan shouted excitedly.

"No, my dear, I don't want to watch stars, I just want to see Feilong break the hundred again." A female fan next to him said excitedly.

07:30, the first announcement.

Lakers: O'Neal, David Robinson, Rick Fox, Kobe Bryant, Ron Harper.

Blazers: Jermaine O, Brian Grant, Marion, Eddie Jones, Zhao Dong.

The Western Conference Finals series was broadcast live on TNT, with Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith as the narrators.

At this time Barkley said: "In terms of the Lakers lineup, Ron Harper is a hidden danger of injury. This season, he has been injured for 36 games and only played 46 regular season games. His opponent will be the dragon.

Comparing the lineups of the two sides, the Lakers are stronger inside by more than one grade, so the dragon will definitely increase the impact on the inside. Even if Kobe switches defenses, Ron Harper will also assume the responsibility of assisting in defending the dragon. He will face a strong impact, and if If he has problems, the defense of the Lakers' back line will be weakened. "

Smith disagreed, saying: "It doesn't matter whoever plays against the Flying Dragon at position [-]. In the Olympics, both Kidd and Payton were blown away by him. So, even if Ron Harper It's his peak period, and he can't defend against Feilong. I mean, even if he can't beat him, it won't make much difference if he puts another person up, anyway, he will be blown up anyway."

"OK, Kenny, you're right." Barkley smiled helplessly and nodded.

In the CCTV commentary seat, Zhang Lili smiled and said: "This year's Western Conference finals and finals will be very good. The Blazers can't defend against O'Neal and David Robinson. They will definitely strengthen their offense and use offense against offense to reproduce last year. The scene of the final.

And no matter which of their teams enters the finals, facing the Nets, I think the same situation is the same. No one can defend the other, and each other is in a state of mutual explosion. Everyone's offense is better than anyone else's. "

Su Qun said: "Director Zhang, I think the Blazers' lineup is actually very good. Although the inside line is a little weaker than the Lakers, Marion is much better than Fox as a small forward. Needless to say, the Flying Dragon is the point guard. David Eddie Jones can take on Kobe as well."

Zhang Lili nodded and said: "Marion is indeed better than Fox, and he is much better. If he were on other teams, he should have more playing time, but he can't get more playing time in the Trail Blazers. Performance has certain limits."

Su Qun said with a smile: "But if he plays less in the regular season, his physical reserve in the playoffs should be better. Last season, he and Ginobili had physical problems in the playoffs."

"Yes, the Blazers should have taken this into consideration. After all, he is only in the second grade, so he is not very old." Zhang Lili laughed.

This is the first time to play.

When the Lakers played, as the team that swept the Trail Blazers in the Western Conference Finals last season, the Rose Garden Arena was booed loudly.

"Sweep the Lakers! Sweep the Lakers! Sweep..."

When it was the home team's turn to play, all the home fans shouted in unison, with great momentum.

Barkley said with a smile: "Under the leadership of Feilong, the Blazers have achieved a record of 74 wins and 8 losses. The morale is very strong, and the expectations of the fans are also very strong. However, it is not so difficult to sweep the Lakers. The Blazers need to be more calm. Some."

Smith said: "Last year when the Knicks swept the Lakers, Ben Wallace couldn't pull out and O'Neal was double-teamed at the basket. This time it will definitely not happen.

But I think that this time the Blazers will definitely pull out the two super centers to facilitate their outside breakthroughs. This is also the tactic the Blazers often play this season. "

"When Grant and Jermaine O'Neill are inside the field, they are indeed qualified to play like this. The tactics of the Tushen lineup, the inside line is completely pulled out. This is a tactical change that did not exist in the previous traditional center tactics."

Speaking of this, Barkley proudly said: "Do you know who invented the God-slaying tactics? It's me, that's my show, and all the ideas are mine."

Kenny Smith glanced at the finals ring on Barkley's right index finger, and said with disdain, "Are you ashamed to wear your ring? I heard that you are still investing with Feilong, and you actually came up with a god-slaying tactic. Aren't you afraid of being kicked away by him?"

Barkley almost jumped up, and quickly distinguished: "One size counts for one size. I'm doing a show, and Feilong won't blame me."

"That's not necessarily the case. If the Blazers are eliminated this time, I'm optimistic about the result of you being kicked away by him." Smith laughed.

When Smith said this, Barkley really felt uneasy, and muttered in his heart: "It's been a year, Feilong shouldn't blame me, right?"

David Stern also came to the scene, and accompanied by his boss Paul Allen, presented the MVP trophy to Zhao Dong before the game.

At eight o'clock, the game started. After O'Neal and O'Neal jumped the ball, the Lakers attacked, and the two super centers went directly to the basket.

Grant carried O'Neal. His tonnage was 116 kilograms, and he could still carry it, but he was quickly squeezed away, allowing the latter to occupy the best position under the basket, and he could only go forward immediately.

Xiao Ao's original weight was 105 kg, but this season he has completed the weight gain at the request of the team, reaching 115 kg, the same as David Robinson.

Under the pressure of the coaching staff and Zhao Dong, he increased the confrontation he didn't like. He was young and moved faster, and David Robinson was old, but he pushed the latter outside and couldn't let Robinson get close easily. basket.

In this way, the twin towers could not join forces at the basket, leaving some opportunities for the Blazers' defense.

The Blazers played a two-one-two zone defense, Marion, who was very mobile, defended the center, and Zhao Dong and Eddie Jones defended the outside.

The defensive task of Zhao Dong and Eddie Jones is mainly to prevent Kobe's breakthrough.

Marion's main defensive task is to defend Kobe's second line of defense, but the most important thing is to help defend the basket.

At this time, Eddie Jones and Zhao Dong double-teamed Harper who was holding the ball. The latter quickly passed the ball to Kobe, and the former two immediately turned back and rushed to Kobe.

At this moment, David Robinson suddenly pulled out and asked Kobe for the ball.

As soon as Kobe got the ball, he flicked his hands without stopping, and flew towards David Robinson in an instant.

As soon as Robinson got the ball, he immediately attracted the Blazers' defensive attention, but he didn't make a shot, but threw it directly at the basket.

"boom!"

O'Neal rose like a behemoth around the rim and sank the Blazers' basket.

Bryan Grant went around and was pushed away from the basket by O'Neal, completely unable to make defensive moves.Marion, who went down to double-team, was also a beat slower.

The Blazers' on-site commentator sighed: "This giant is really unstoppable under the basket!"

In the TNT commentary seat, Barkley praised: "From the perspective of the lineup, the five starting defenses of the Blazers are all good. But the Lakers have O'Neal, David Robinson, and Kobe Bryant. prevent the death of any of them.

And the big shark is a giant who needs off-ball double-teaming, not to mention he is under the basket, even if he is on the low wings three meters away from the basket, he also needs to implement off-ball double-teaming on him, but don't say it now Without the ball double-teaming, the Blazers can't even do it with the ball double-teaming. "

Smith said: "The Trail Blazers play two-one-two zone defense. Fox's position is a little empty. Marion's defensive attention is more on the basket. Next, the Lakers still have to pay attention. Marion's defense speed is very fast. .

If the Lakers play Fox's open spot, whether his shooting rate can be guaranteed is also a question. "

"He is definitely not the first choice, even if there is an open space, the offense at the basket is the guarantee of high efficiency." Barkley is sure.

Trail Blazers attack.

Grant and Jermaine were completely separated and pulled to a position close to the three-point line, which was still within their attack range.

The Blazers obviously used the god-killing tactics of opening the inside line and breaking through the outside line, so the Lakers also played zone defense to prevent outside line breakthroughs and return to the basket in time.

The Lakers play in the second and third leagues, mainly defending the low post.

Phil Jackson knew that even if he played three-two zone defense and focused on outside breakthroughs, the Lakers would not be able to defend against Zhao Dong's breakthroughs, so they simply defended the low post. Anyway, Zhao Dong rushed in and double-teamed in the paint.

He has a lot of experience in fighting Zhao Dong. Zhao Dong is known as the god of efficiency, and rushing in is his main style of play.

Zhao Dong pushed forward with the ball, near the top of the arc, Kobe and Ron Harper forced up, and began to double-team him from the outside.

The purpose of double-teaming him is to force him to make a strong shot or pass the ball outside.

In the last game of breaking the hundred, Zhao Dong mostly made jump shots and shot a lot of three-pointers, but that was Kobe's single defense without double-teaming. Now he is double-teaming on the outside. Phil Jackson believes that Zhao Dong can't be as high as that again. , his most likely option is to drive.

Sure enough, Zhao Dong did not forcefully make a shot in the double-team, but made a breakthrough.

"squeak!"

With a sudden force under his feet, following the sharp rubbing sound of his sneakers, Zhao Dong took a step forward, trying to force his way through the gap between Kobe and Harper.

The next moment, Kobe and Ron quickly closed the door to defend.

At this moment, Zhao Dong didn't slow down, and suddenly turned around quickly, bypassed Harper, stepped over the free throw line, got rid of the double-team, and went into the paint.

"Pretty!"

Seeing this breakthrough, Su Qun shouted excitedly.

The Lakers have O'Neal under the basket. As long as the Big Mac's defense is willing to work hard, it will be the top defense at the basket.

However, Zhao Dong flew up to meet the big shark without any hesitation.

Tonight, he is going to attack the two super centers and try to beat them down as soon as possible.

Even if O'Neill pulls him down, he will not hesitate.

Only in this way can the Blazers' chances of winning be improved.

O'Neill looked at Zhao Dong who was flying up, and made up his mind that he must hit hard and teach Zhao Dong a lesson so that he would not dare to attack him again.

He soared into the air, grabbed Zhao Dong with both hands, and didn't care about the ball at all.

"Oh!"

Zhao Dong was pulled down directly and hit the floor.

"Di!"

The referee's whistle blew immediately.

"Shh!"

Blazers fans immediately booed O'Neal enormously.

Countless fans began to abuse O'Neal and raised countless middle fingers at him.

"Damn it, the big shark should be sent down. This is a malicious foul. He wants to kill the flying dragon." The on-site commentator roared angrily.

"Boss!"

Grant and Ao Ji rushed up immediately.

"fine."

Zhao Dong responded, panted twice, and got up.

"Feilong, I won't show mercy." O'Neal said in a deep voice.

When he pulled Zhao Dong just now, he didn't make any protective moves.

Zhao Dong stared at O'Neill and said coldly, "Do I need it?"

A chill rose in O'Neill's heart. From Zhao Dong's attitude, he felt that there was trouble tonight. This guy would not let him go. He might attack him again, even if he was injured.

At the CCTV commentary booth, Zhang Lili said at this time: "Zhao Dong must be careful, let alone this Western Conference finals, even if it is a team training game, O'Neal will not allow his teammates to dunk him."

"Shouldn't be injured, Zhao Dong has never been injured before." Su Qun said.

"His physique is really super strong." Zhang Lili laughed.

"Shh! Shh!"

Zhao Dong hit two goals in a row to tie the score.
