Chapter 188 Terror Efficiency

The timeout ends and the Knicks attack.

After Zhao Dong played a few times before, he strengthened his passing, but today the Jazz's defensive action was too big, and his teammates were not as efficient as he was in the low post. Now that the score is close, he decided to do it himself. Anyway, he has unlimited firepower in his hands. .

The left wing is set in a low position, and the Jazz's defense immediately begins to shrink towards him. As long as the ball comes in, a double-team will be formed.

But he still chose to reach for the ball.

The ball was passed from the top of the arc, and the Jazz's double-team immediately opened, and Russell and Jeff Horasek formed a three-man double-team with Malone.

The double-teams come from above and from the weak side, only those below who don't have help.

At the moment of catching the ball, Zhao Dong slid down.

Russell, who was assisting on the weak side, immediately stopped, and backup center Howard Ellis, who returned to defend the basket, began to surround Zhao Dong.

At this moment, Zhao Dong hurriedly stopped the jumper.

This time, even Ma Long, who was chasing after him, didn't react.

"Shh!"

Splashes appeared, and two points were hit near the basket.

Although Zhao Dong's emergency stop jump shot is not as strong as the board jump shot, it is also a gold medal skill. It has the special effects of increasing the stability of shots by 30% and getting rid of defenders by 30%. It is precisely these gold medal special effects that he can maintain a very high His efficiency, even in the Eastern Conference finals, is higher than that of Jordan, who played the best series performance of his career.

"Beautiful, it's wonderful! He still dared to shoot in a three-person double-team. Feilong's performance in the playoffs was much stronger than his performance in the regular season, and his performance in the finals was stronger than that of the first three series. The more critical the game, the stronger his performance."

Zhang Lili said excitedly.

Jazz attack.

Zhao Dong let Ma Long take two steps, almost three meters of space, only one step away from the paint area.

But with his first-class guard-level speed, if the Jazz think Malone is a big open, he is also confident that he can return to Malone in time.

So Malone's big open space is also a hole he dug for Stockton, a defensive trap.

Stockton made a gesture to pass the ball to the right wing, but suddenly his hand shook and the ball flew to Malone.

The moment the ball was released, Zhao Dong returned to defense.

The first step landed and the ball was in Malone's hands.

After all, Ma Long is a power forward with extremely developed upper body strength, so his shooting speed is not considered fast. When he caught the ball and saw Zhao Dong pounced back, he forcibly accelerated his shooting speed and immediately took off.

At this time, Zhao Dong stepped forward and flew to block the block.

However, Malone speeded up his shots, and the block was not successful.

It's just that Malone speeded up his shot deliberately, and his shot missed, and the ball hit the basket.

After Zhao Dong landed, he looked back and saw that Oakley grabbed the rebound from the backcourt, and immediately started to go down. Malone grabbed his jersey with his backhand, and he struggled away.

"boom!"

Stockton returned to the defense one step ahead of Zhao Dong, and could only watch him smash the basket.

"John?" Jerry Sloan shook his head at him from the sidelines.

Stockton nodded, indicating that he understood.

Next, the Jazz's offense moved away from Malone and focused on Stockton and Jeff Horacek.

After the first quarter, at 23:26, the Knicks led by 3 points.

赵东单节7投5中，3罚2中，砍下12分3篮板2助攻1抢断1盖帽的数据。

The Jazz made a big splash from outside. Jeff Horasek made 6 of 3 three-pointers in a single quarter and scored 9 points. With Stockton throwing a three-pointer, the Jazz made 10 of 5 three-pointers in a single quarter. .

"In the case of losing the main center at the beginning, the Jazz still hung the score with a three-pointer, so that the game did not lose suspense, but whether they can seize the opportunity to win a game depends on whether the Jazz's perimeter can continue to be efficient. performance." Bill Walton analyzed.

In the second quarter, the postman Ma Long played from the beginning, which also forced Zhao Dong to play.

Ma Long was only responsible for defending and containing Zhao Dong in the first quarter, and his physical consumption was very small. Zhao Dong's physical consumption in the first quarter was much greater than that of Ma Long.

So in the second quarter, Zhao Dong played very little offense, mainly defending and organizing.

In this quarter, the Jazz continued to explode from the perimeter. Stockton's scoring has never been his strong point, but in the second quarter he made 5 of 3 shots, including 2 of 1 three-pointers, and scored 7 points.

Jeff Horasek, who exploded in the first quarter, had a slightly worse touch. He made 2 of 1 three-pointers, 5 of 3 two-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 11 points in a single quarter.

Compared with the Jazz's crazy outside shots, the Knicks, who have the home court advantage, can only be said to have an average touch. They made 5 of 1 three-pointers, which can even be said to be not very good.

If it weren't for Zhao Dong grabbing 6 rebounds in this quarter, including 3 offensive rebounds, the Knicks would definitely fall behind even more.

After halftime, 48:46, the Knicks fell behind by 2 points.

Zhao Dong sent out three assists in a single quarter, and passed 15 times. The assist rate is very low, with an average of five passes to get one assist.

"Defense, don't lose the perimeter defense, I want to see your defense..." Van Gundy, who was sweating profusely, shouted in the home team's locker room.

Zhao Dong didn't care about this, and added some water and energy from time to time.

His physical consumption in the second quarter is not too high, which is more beneficial to the second half.

上半场10投7中，5罚4中，砍下18分9篮板5助攻3抢断3盖帽的数据。全能表现，但队友发挥太次。

However, the strength of his own teammates is only at this level. When he is not attacking with all his strength, he is only two points behind, and he can't say anything.

As for the perimeter defense, it's not that the teammates don't work hard, it's that the Jazz have exploded today, and it's acceptable to explode in the last game. Who doesn't eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year?Just hold it down at the end.

In the next third quarter, he will take over the offense and fire with all his strength, trying to establish a large score lead before the final quarter.

After 15 minutes, the second half began, and the Jazz attacked.

"Shh!"

Jazz small forward Brian Russell ran beyond the right-wing three-point line and made a three-pointer.

"Oh, is it Russell's turn to explode? Is Jazz going to explode again? I'm looking forward to it!" Bill Wharton shouted excitedly.

"The flying dragon is about to go down, Jazz can't keep up at all..." Matt quickly explained at this moment.

When the offense and defense transitioned, Zhao Dong happened to be in the middle, and he immediately launched a quick move.

The Jazz can keep up with his speed, only Stockton, and Jeff Horacek can barely keep up with him. It is impossible to defend him from the flank.

Small forward Russell's speed is a notch lower than him. If he returns to defense from the center, it is possible to catch up with him, but it is impossible to return to defense from the flank.

Stockton wanted to make an offensive foul, but his speed was only a little faster than Zhao Dong, and he had no chance to stand up, and was always forced out of the baseline.

"boom!"

Below Zhao Dongfei's body was a battle-axe dunk.

"Yeah! Under the lightning fast break of the yellow ruler of New York, under the most brutal flying dunks, the Jazz's defense is useless."

The live commentator roared excitedly.

"Under the fast attack of the flying dragon, it is invincible!" Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.

Stockton panted behind the baseline and turned around, looking at Zhao Dong, who was staring at him coldly above the basket, with lingering fear in his heart.

If he had stopped just now, he would either have been knocked into the air, or he might have suffered another humiliation.

Zhao Dong opened his mouth and made a smiling face at Stockton, but he didn't smile at all. His cold brutality unscrupulously hit the latter's psychological defense.

"Hurry up, or you will never try to beat me in this life!"

When he landed and turned his head, he yelled at the postman Malone who had just returned to defense.

"This bastard!"

Faced with the wanton provocation from his old enemy, Ma Long squeezed his fist and endured it.

51:48, the Jazz led by 3 points, and the Jazz attacked.

In this attack, the Jazz finally missed a ball. Zhao Dong played a fast break again, and the Jazz couldn't resist at all.

51:50, the Jazz lead by 1 point.

Jerry Sloan looked at Zhao Dong in the fast break, feeling powerless.

He really can't do anything about this kind of fast break. In his eyes, Zhao Dong is like a tank with an accelerator installed. He will be crushed when he hits the outside line, and he will be completely thrown off the inside line.

"Carl, hang on to him, don't let him go down wantonly, this is your only task today." He growled at the postman.

He is extremely dissatisfied with today's Ma Long. He has no offensive mission, and even Zhao Dong's fast break cannot be stopped. His performance is really like a role player.

"Bryan, make up the defense in time, don't let him charge." He growled at Russell again.

Looking back, the Jazz's Russell fired in one step from the three-point line and hit a long two-pointer.

On the defensive end, Zhao Dong was pulled to the left wing by Malone, and immediately turned around and went down quickly.

Ma Long was two steps away from Zhao Dong, close to the sideline. With his speed, he wanted to catch up with Zhao Dong, unless he had wings.

On the other wing, Russell, who had just made a shot, was returning to the defense, desperately approaching the middle, trying to defend Zhao Dong.

He had a chance, because Zhao Dong also started from the flank, and the position was a little deeper than him.

When Zhao Dong crossed the center line, he received the pass, crossed the three-point line, and followed an arc to the basket.

Looking at Zhao Dong who was fully charged, Russell, who rushed into the basket from the opposite side, did not dare to stop him. He changed direction and rushed from the basket to the bottom line.

The next moment, with a bang, the Jazz's basket was blown off.

53:52, the Knicks trailed by one point.

"Brian, switch sides."

Jerry Sloan had no choice but to defend Zhao Dong's fast break, so he had no choice but to let Russell come to Zhao Dong's side.

This choice has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that Russell's position is above Zhao Dong, which can prevent Zhao Dong from going down quickly.

The downside is that with Zhao Dong's movement speed, there is every chance to help defend Russell.

Jazz attack.

Russell made two hits in the third quarter, and the offense gave him another shot.

Malone pulled up to the three-point line to run a pick-and-roll for Russell, Zhao Dong switched to defend Russell, and slapped Russell's shooting cap.

The ball was slapped to the center line, and Zhao Dong, Ma Long, Russell, and Alan Houston immediately started and rushed to the Knicks' frontcourt.

Alan Houston was fast but was pulled by Malone at the start and fell behind.

However, Zhao Dong's speed surpassed Russell's. The latter tried to use small movements to hold him back, but it was useless and he couldn't hold him back.

After two steps across the center line, Zhao Dong caught the ball back, then changed direction and rushed to the basket.

Stockton returned to the basket again, but still did not dare to stand in Zhao Dong's way. The humiliation in the crotch in the last game hit him too much.

"Shh!"

This time, Zhao Dong slowed down and settled the battle with a layup.

Today, the Jazz exploded from outside and the score was very tight. He has to adjust his physical fitness and play in the third quarter, and he can't pull his hips in the final quarter.

53:54, the Knicks overtook the score, Madison Square Garden also sounded enthusiastic cheers.

Zhang Lili said excitedly: "It's beautiful. In the third quarter, Zhao Dong was all about fast breaks. The rhythm was very fast. The speed of the Jazz couldn't keep up at all. He made 4 of 4 shots, scored 8 points, and sent a block. Now It's three steals and four blocks, and it's totally possible to play 3*4 today."

Sun Zhenping continued: "Then it is possible to play the third 5*5 today, and it will also be his second playoff 5*5."

"Yes, he is the only one who played 5*5 in the playoffs!" Zhang Lili laughed.

Next, in order to save energy, Zhao Dong did not play fast breaks frequently, unless the opportunity was good.

For example, his position is the same as before, just on the outside, then playing fast break is the most suitable, the distance is very short, and the energy consumption is small.

In the positional battle, he still maintained high efficiency by relying on several gold medal skills.

But the Jazz really exploded today, and the three perimeters were in full bloom. After the third quarter, the two sides tied at 78:78.

张合理在直播席上念道：“赵东第三节11投9中，前面快攻4投4中，后面7投5中，命中率达到了恐怖的80%，加上2罚2中，单节轰下20分。

加上上半场，三节一共21投16中，7罚6中，砍下38分13篮板6助攻4抢断4盖帽2失误3犯规。”

Sun Zhenping sighed: "With such a good performance, the Jazz can hold on to the stalemate, is it still alive?"

"Absolutely. It's absolutely impossible. It can't be overturned. Whether the Jazz can continue to explode in the final quarter is unpredictable. Everyone's physical fitness has declined seriously in the final quarter. If they want to continue to explode, the chance is very small. But Zhao Dong's efficiency As long as his physical fitness does not collapse in the final quarter, it will not have a great impact on his efficiency, and his shots are very stable." Zhang rationally analyzed.

"That is to say, even though the game is tied now, the Knicks still have the initiative going into the fourth quarter?" Sun Zhenping asked.

"Yes." Zhang Lili said.

Sitting on the bench, Zhao Dong ate half a banana to replenish his energy.

Although he scored [-] points in the third quarter, he didn't achieve his goal, and it was still a tie. He realized that the Jazz's explosive growth today is likely to last for a whole game.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Zhao Dong did not focus on attacking, and began to accumulate physical energy.

As for the Jazz, as Zhang Lili expected, with the serious decline in physical fitness, the feel also began to decline, and some shots were missed.

This situation made Zhao Dong feel relieved. As long as the Jazz's hand feeling declines, the opportunity will return to the Knicks.

He originally planned to play soy sauce for three or four minutes, but now that the score can be stalemate, he decided to play for a while longer.

The scores of the two sides rose alternately. With 3 minutes left in the game, at 94:94, the two sides tied again, and the Knicks called a timeout.

At this time, the atmosphere at home became tense.

The Knicks have a lot of unprofessional fans, these people come from Wall Street, and they are the nervous part of the fans.

But another group of very professional fans felt relieved at this time and began to prepare to celebrate the arrival of the championship.

Because they knew that next, the core of the team, Zhao Dong, who seldom participated in the offense in the last quarter, would stand up and take over the game.

"In the last 3 minutes, the Jazz exploded the whole game and made 14 three-pointers, but they still didn't take the lead in the score. Now, the Jazz's state is declining, but Feilong will stand up at any time. As long as he fires with all his strength, Then the final game will not have much suspense."

In the TNT live broadcast seat, Bill Wharton analyzed.

But Matt said: "During the entire series of the finals, Feilong has been focusing on the main defense, taking unlimited shots, and at the same time defending the Jazz's strongest offensive point, Postman Malone. His physical consumption is the highest in the team.

In tonight's game, Malone greatly reduced his offense, which allowed him to use all his physical energy on the defensive end. The low-post confrontation between the two sides was so strong that ordinary people could not bear it. This also made Feilong consume more energy than before, so he can Whether to stand up at the last minute, I think there should be some doubts. "

"Matt, I agree with you."

Bill Walton responded, but instead said: "But superstars, especially this kind of historical superstar, do you admit that Feilong is a historical superstar?"

"Of course, his performance in the first playoffs, as long as he wins the championship, he can be equal to the Magician." Matt laughed.

"Well, what I want to say is, never underestimate the performance of a historical superstar at the most critical moment of winning the championship." Bill Walton laughed.

"Yes, at the most critical moment, if he is a true historical superstar, Feilong may also burst out with the brightest light." Matt laughed.

The timeout ends, the game begins, and the Knicks attack.

Zhao Dong received the ball in the backcourt and pushed forward with the ball himself.

Childs is tired, just got a steal by Stockton, let the Jazz play a fast break, so now he is going to take over all possessions and handle the ball himself.

The Jazz did not press Zhao Dong in the backcourt. First, Zhao Dong's level of ball control, and second, the Jazz's physical fitness is almost the same, and they are on the verge of collapse. Once the press fails, it will be out of position.

Zhao Dong steadily advanced to the frontcourt, controlled the ball with his right hand, and pushed forward twice with his left hand.

It's a compression gesture, signaling to get teammates down the baseline while compressing the Jazz's defense down low.

"Trash, this time I will shoot a three-pointer on your head. Remember that it is a three-pointer, not a two-pointer. I don't make fake moves. You can prevent the shot or not."

The Jazz let small forward Russell come up to guard him, and he rolled forward while spouting trash.

"Asshole, you won't succeed." Russell blushed with anger.

"Oh!"

Zhao Dong accelerated forward and bumped Russell with his shoulder on purpose, easily completing the breakthrough.

At this time, Ma Long in the paint area lifted up, rushed forward, and implemented supplementary defense.

But at this moment, Zhao Dong made an emergency stop for a jump shot at the top of the arc. Whether it was Ma Long in front or Russell who was being attacked behind, neither of them was in place defensively.

"boom!"

The rebound hit the basket and hit a three-pointer.

This is the result of his combination of two techniques of emergency stop jump shot and rebound shot, and two gold medal special effects, and the effect is very good.

The effect of getting rid of defenders makes Malone and Russell's defense not in place, and increasing his shooting rate makes him full of efficiency.

"Look, I've already told you how to defend me, but you still can't defend, what is it? Don't worry, don't be afraid, I will tell you how to defend me next time."

After succeeding, Zhao Dong continued to hit his opponent with trash talk, so angry that Russell and Malone were about to vomit blood.

At 94:97, the Knicks lead and the Jazz attack.
