At this time, in New York, at Stern's house, his expression was very serious.
He knew that this matter must be treated with caution, and now he faced a choice again, whether to continue to support Jordan, or...to support Zhao Dong at the same time?
For a long time, his attitude towards Zhao Dong was to let him go, and he did not support or suppress him.
However, during the offseason, Zhao Dong disregarded the league's ban and had a private fight with Karl Malone, which made him very angry and wanted to suppress it.
But since the new season, Zhao Dong has continued his explosive performance in his rookie season and even showed a stronger scoring ability, which has attracted more and more fans.
In particular, Zhao Dong is different from Jordan. He not only has Jordan's technical flow and quality flow, but also possesses the violent style of Beastism. He looks as handsome as Jordan, which even makes him have more fans than Jordan.
In a word, what Jordan has, Zhao Dong rarely doesn't know, but what Zhao Dong has, Jordan doesn't necessarily have.
After all, Jordan is getting old. Although Zhao Dong is Chinese, if Zhao Dong can maintain the development of the league after Jordan, it is not impossible for him to support him.
In fact, he no longer wants to experience the dilemma of losing Jordan again, but Jordan is indeed getting old.
The only regret is that Zhao Dong is Chinese and is destined not to become the next Michael Jordan.
However, he is now planning to implement a global development plan to promote the NBA to the world, so Zhao Dong, as a non-local superstar, will definitely be able to boost his plan, at least in China and Asia.
It was precisely based on this idea that he did not implement the idea of suppressing Zhao Dong. As before, he did not support or suppress him for the time being.
But it's not going to work now, this matter has become a big deal, and he must express his position, and he must show his attitude to the league.
He picked up the microphone of the landline next to him, but he still had some doubts and moved very slowly, and even wanted to put the microphone back.
But in the end, he still made a call: "Give Michael a technical foul, that action is too dangerous."
"What? Mr. Stern..."
The guy over there was obviously very surprised and had to wait to ask, but Stern had already hung up without any explanation.
The news quickly spread to the arena, and the referee was very surprised when he was notified.
Jordan sees the umpire walking up to him, has a bad feeling, and the next moment he sees the umpire make a T-sign.
"yeah!"
There was joy on the Knicks bench.
"Shet!"
It's nothing to eat a T, but Jordan is really wronged. He really didn't mean it.
Of course, he was also inexplicably relieved, because he was also afraid of being treated like that by the Knicks.
But he understands the deeper meaning of this change of sentence. If there is a change of sentence, the referee must have received instructions from the higher-ups. What does this mean?
He glanced at Zhao Dong, did this damned Chinese get Stern's favor?
Step on him, damn it, he now understands what it's like to grow old, this feeling of being extremely resentful but powerless.
If he was made to be three years younger, he would never give Zhao Dong a chance to be in the top position. He would firmly trample Zhao Dong under his feet, making him unable to lift his head.
Next free throws, first penalty Jordan's technical offender, Zhao Dong made a free throw, then made two free throws from Larry Johnson, Jordan made two free throws by himself, and finally punished Zhao Dong's technical offender, Jordan made another free throw.
At 9:10, the Knicks trailed by one point and the Bulls got the ball.
"Jordan was punched twice, but he still gained something. He surpassed the score and still has the ball in his hands. It's a good deal." Zhang Lili complained.
"We Chinese are not easy to bully." Sun Zhenping said.
In the TNT live broadcast, Bill Wharton said thoughtfully: "The referee changed the judgment, and Michael got a T after being beaten. This is a rare thing."
"The Knicks are really monolithic. The leader of Feilong has been recognized by everyone. If Michael is not given a T, no one can guarantee what will happen in the future. I think this is the best way to deal with it." Matt laughed.
"Yes, I think so too." Bill Wharton laughed.
The game restarted and the Bulls attacked.
Kidd has the ball and the others run.
Ewing was also running, getting out of the basket and going in again.
Zhao Dong also pulled out and then followed in.
Just as he was following up in the paint area, Bulls small forward Caffey ran over to make a pick-and-roll, allowing Ewing to get a chance to play Oakley in a misplaced position in the paint area.
Kidd sees his dislocation immediately, and the pass comes in quickly.
This is Kidd's ability, as long as there are openings and mismatches, he can see them and will not waste opportunities.
Seeing this pass, the old Nelson on the sidelines shook his head. If he had Kidd in his hands, the Knicks' offensive ability would definitely be improved.
When the pick-and-roll happened, Zhao Dong didn't use the pick-and-roll method to squeeze through, because Kafei's tonnage was about the same as him, and he didn't have much advantage in strength. Instead, he used the pick-and-roll bypass method to make full use of his mobility advantage.
"Snapped!"
Ewing shot on Oakley's head, the latter hit a vicious hit, stopped his attack, and then the whistle sounded.
He shook his hand, his wrist was red, and he was surprised that Oakley hit him so hard?This made him very uncomfortable.
"Patrick, we are rivals now, mortal enemies, and that's what you said." Seeing Ewing's surprised expression, Oakley said coldly.
The corners of Ewing's eyes twitched, he snorted coldly, and walked to the free throw line.
The first free throw was made, the second free throw was missed, the rebound was grabbed by Camby, and the Knicks attacked.
Zhao Dong didn't play low post this time, but stopped on the right-wing three-point line and asked Charlie Ward for the ball.
"Does Feilong want to attack the Bulls inside?"
In the TNT live broadcast seat, Bill Walton immediately reacted, and immediately analyzed: "The first ball at the beginning, he used a strong impact to kill Rodman, and now Ewing and Bill Wennington can block it." His shock?"
The Bulls switched defenses, and small forward Kafei defended in front of Zhao Dong.
"boom!"
Zhao Dong's movements are very simple, as soon as he gets the ball, he starts it immediately, and between dribbles, he beats Kafei with his speed, without any fake moves, just one step to overpower his opponent.
Kafei wanted to use a foul to stop the breakthrough, so he turned around and fished for a handful, but Mao didn't catch one.
Ewing sits at the basket, and backup center Bill Wennington defends Zhao Dong.
Zhao Dong suddenly slowed down, then started to accelerate again, changed direction and broke through the second line of defense, went to the basket, and flew towards Ewing.
Ewing himself was not tough enough, facing Zhao Dong's ferocious dunks, he could only take a step back to make room for the basket.
"boom!"
Amidst the violent smashing of baskets, the United Center was bombed into silence.
Michael Jordan really made these Bulls fans worship him as a god, and he dedicated countless wonderful performances to them in this arena, but this kind of brutalist and extremely brutal flat-basket dunks did not.
This kind of violent buckle smashing was the most exciting action. Even though they hated Zhao Dong from the bottom of their hearts, this smashing buckle full of visual impact instantly hit their G-spot.
Their adrenaline is bursting, their emotions are in a state of eruption, but they are forced to press it down.
This kind of emotional conflict makes them very uncomfortable, feeling overwhelmed, and makes them want to swear, or even vent their anger with violence.
"Flying Dragon once again showed beast-level physical fitness. He played above the rim, and his brutal style of play was as crazy as a beast. He was dominating the Bulls' paint area, dominating the Bulls' inside players..." Bill Walton excitedly roared.
"Another soulless dunk." Zhao Dong glanced at Ewing with disdain, turned and left.
Ewing was so angry that he vomited blood, but he really didn't dare to go up to the hard top, as long as he did it once, he might retire.
"The tonnage of the inside line, the breakthrough speed of a first-class guard, and the super explosive style of play of a small forward are the reasons why Feilong is becoming more and more popular among fans." Matt praised.
"Matt, do you think Feilong's heavy small forward style of play will become a trend in the league?" Bill Walton asked suddenly.
"what?"
Matt was startled, he thought for a while and said, "It's hard, Feilong is the first player like this, even if you want to copy it, it may be difficult to find a player with such physical quality, right?"
"Of course, a player with the quality of Feilong is even more rare than a player with the quality of Jordan. It is definitely rare in 20 years."
Bill Walton laughed.
"In fact, there are many similar players, but he is not as polarized as him. He has the body of an inside line, the speed of a first-class guard, and the explosive power of a small forward." Matt laughed.
"Yeah, players like Chamberlain, O'Neal, Ewing, Damon, David Robinson, they're all centers, but they all have the speed of a small forward, which allows them to match anyone in the paint except them. Other than yourself, you can have a misplaced advantage." Bill Wharton said.
"It is with such a strong physical fitness that they can become historical superstars." Matt said.
"And now Feilong has a stronger physical quality, which gives him a stronger dislocation advantage, so it is also predictable that he will become a real historical superstar. Especially his body is particularly capable of carrying, and his ability to resist injuries When he is super good, he will have a particularly exciting career." Bill Wharton said.
"Thinking of Feilong's special ability to handle this, I thought of the one-sided boxing match between him and the postman." Matt laughed suddenly.
With a puff, Bill Wharton suddenly burst out laughing, and couldn't help laughing and said: "Two guys confronted each other, one was beaten to a severe concussion, the other went drinking after getting off the ring, and then made a date with Michael Tyson." This contrast is really strong."
"Haha..." The two laughed.
In the 8th minute of the first quarter, at 20:20, the two teams tied.
Ewing made 6 of 2 shots, swallowed Zhao Dong's three caps, and was replaced.
In the past few minutes, Zhao Dong frequently launched attacks from the outside, but Ewing was unable to defend against the former's impact on the defensive end, and did not take it hard once, which disappointed the fans.
Phil Jackson and Jordan have long been mentally prepared and are not very disappointed.
General manager Jerry Krause began to assess the flaws of this lineup when facing the Knicks.
Although the Bulls have Kidd, there is no problem in organizing the offense, but he can't ignore one point, the inside line is too soft, Zhao Dong's impact alone can make the Bulls suffer.
And last season's Eastern Conference finals also proved that double-teaming Zhao Dong is useless, because his assist ability is too strong.
Rodman is not suitable for defending Zhao Dong's type of players, he is only suitable for top defense in positional warfare.
His specific idea is to have an inside gate, the kind of iron-blooded inside that can withstand Zhao Dong's impact.
It is not necessary for this insider to have a strong scoring ability, role players are fine, but they must be tough enough and have a strong ability to protect the basket.
On the outside, that is, at the small forward position, there must be someone who can entangle Zhao Dong.
This person must move fast, must not be small in tonnage and strength, and must defend well. It is best to be able to shoot three-pointers, so that he can empty the opponent's defense line on the offensive end.
Such a person is hard to find, similar to Zhao Dong's quality, but he must find such a person, so that the Bulls can hope to beat the Knicks.
Zhao Dong had a heavy task today, and he didn't end up playing the entire first quarter.
他打出了凶残的野兽流风格,化身为了黄色统治者,疯狂暴扣之下,7投7中,4罚3中,轰下17分3篮板1助攻1抢断3盖帽1犯规的数据。
乔丹同样打满第一节,10投7中,3罚3中,轰下17分1篮板1助攻1抢断1盖帽1犯规的数据。
The Knicks double-teamed Jordan, and the intensity was far less than in the playoffs.
The Bulls did not double-team Zhao Dong. This was a change made by Phil Jackson in consideration of last season's failure, allowing Zhao Dong to score and prevent others from dying.
This is another kind of Jordan's law, and it has achieved good results. Although Zhao Dong played efficiently, the team did not take the lead.
He also passed a lot of balls, but his teammates were inefficiently defended by the Bulls and only got one assist.
After the first quarter, at 25:25, the two teams drew again.
Although he was beaten today, Jordan is very excited. The team's defense is against him. If the inside line is stronger, he feels that he can beat the Knicks.
"Jason Caffey, you didn't complete the task I gave you. You only fouled Feilong twice. Do you want to save the other four fouls for the next game?"
On the Bulls bench, Phil Jackson said.
Kafei explained helplessly: "He is too fast and flexible, I really can't keep up."
Phil Jackson also has a headache, about the same height and tonnage, why is his mobility so far behind?
On the Knicks bench, Nelson Sr. began to adjust the lineup.
This month, he has begun to increase the playing time of the backup big man.
His plan is to grind out the two young substitutes inside before the playoffs, and then Zhao Dong can return to the outside.
Through this period of observation, he is not optimistic about Camby. He is not good at protecting the basket, nor is he good at offense. His body is too fragile. I am sorry for his second pick.
Big Ben and Danny Fortson, he is more optimistic about the latter.
In fact, Danny Fortson's time was not suppressed at all. His ability to grab rebounds was too strong. Unfortunately, fouls were uncontrollable, which not only affected his playing time, but also wasted a lot of possessions.
As for Daben, he was not very optimistic about his potential at the center position, so he kept letting Daben substitute Zhao Dong to play power forward, or even small forward, but now it seems that the effect is very poor.
Big Ben is not very suitable for his small ball style of play, because in his style of play, the center must be good at passing the ball and have vision, and this is the ability that Big Ben does not have.
But there are only so few candidates, so they can only be used as they are.
"Ben, you go to position five," he said.
"Yes, coach." Big Ben said excitedly.
The lineup for the second quarter is led by Zhao Dong. He plays at position [-], Daben at position [-], Danny Fortson at position [-], John Starks at position [-], and Hu Weidong at position [-].
In this quarter, Zhao Dong played small forward for organization.
Just because he played the organization, he didn't go to the point guard, but Hu Weidong.
This lineup does not have height, but the overall speed and internal and external defense are good.
In terms of offense, the outside offense is very strong, but the disadvantage is that the inside offensive ability is poor.
But this lineup can bear Old Neal's idea of blurring positions.
For the Bulls, they are all substitutes, all unknown.
The only one who is famous is Steve Kerr. His fame comes from fighting Jordan in the team training game in 95.
Jordan didn't play. After all, it was the regular season. He couldn't play the whole game, and he was too old.
The Bulls attacked and Cole missed a three-pointer.
Zhao Dong preemptively blocked the position, but at this time Danny Fortson rushed over and almost knocked him over, and the rebound was taken away by Daben.
"Boss?"
Danny Fortson was very embarrassed when he grabbed the rebound and grabbed the boss.
The three of them scrambled into a group, which made Zhao Dong very speechless.
Especially Fortson, if this is a fight with the Bulls, it might be another physical foul, and the ball should be given directly to the opponent.
At this time, the Knicks went down quickly, Hu Weidong and John Starks fast forwarded from the left and right wings respectively, Zhao Dong quickly advanced with the ball in the middle, and Da Ben and Danny Fortson followed behind him.
Zhao Dong stopped at the three-point line.
At this time, according to the tactical requirements, Big Ben and Danny Fortson, who were behind him, suddenly pulled to the left and right, and at the same time made a pick-and-roll for Hu Weidong and John Starks who were cutting inside.
Zhao Dong's ball flew to Hu Weidong, who was in a more prominent position. The latter caught the ball and flew up. It was a one-armed dunk that slammed into the Bulls' basket.
"Beautiful! This coordination is so beautiful!"
Surprised, Zhang Lili praised: "I hope Zhao Dong and Hu Weidong can play such a beautiful cooperation after returning to the national team."
On the TNT live broadcast, Bill Walton explained: "From the transition of offense and defense, the Knicks' offense took only [-] seconds, a typical old Nelson's offensive style."
"Flying Dragon holds the ball on the outside to attract defense, the other outside cuts inside, and the two insides do pick-and-rolls. The offense is well-structured. If No. 66 Huo can't score, John Starks can play a second offense." Matt analyzed. .
"Not only John Starks, No. 65 Ben Wallace and No. 64 Danny Fortson all returned to the basket after the pick-and-roll. They can both play second offense and grab offensive rebounds."
Bill Walton laughed.
In the following time, Zhao Dong tried his best to organize the attack, sending out assists again and again in the rapid transition of offense and defense.
In just half a quarter, he sent 5 assists, averaging 2.5 passes to get 1 assist. The assist ratio is very high, and the Bulls' bench lineup was blown to pieces.
So many assists, thanks to rebounds.
Zhao Dong, Da Ben, and Danny Fortson are all strong rebounders. Even though the latter two have not grown up yet, their rebounding ability is still showing its edge in the face of the Bulls' bench lineup.
Daben sits at the basket, and his performance is immediately different from that of the 3rd and [-]th positions before. Today, he showed his strength and grabbed [-] rebounds in half a quarter by himself.
The team grabbed 8 rebounds, and only let the Bulls grab 2 in total, far surpassing the latter in shots.
After the half quarter, at 42:30, the Knicks scored 17 points in the half quarter, only allowing the Bulls to score 5 points.
Jordan, sitting on the bench, was in a bad mood, really bad.
He was punched twice, and now the substitute lineup has been punched through again. How does it make him feel good?
If it comes to the playoffs, if they can't grab the opponent's rebounds and take [-] or [-] shots less in a game, won't the Bulls lose?
The Bulls used to be strong on Rodman's rebounding, but now, even if Rodman returns to the peak period of the Pistons, he can't stop the Knicks, a group of rebounding beasts!
"My God, everyone is not optimistic about the Knicks this season, but you look at its bench lineup now, isn't it too strong? Just rebounds, not counting Zhao Dong, just the numbers 64 and 65, can Pile up the opponent's bench lineup."
Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.
"Haha..." Sun Zhenping just laughed.
In the TNT live broadcast seat, Bill Walton said with a serious expression: "The No. 65 Ben Wallace was an undrafted pick in 96. He didn't play much. Today he performed well, with three rebounds in a single quarter, and Danny Ford. Like Sen, he is very active in defense and grabbing rebounds, but he has no offensive ability, and he seems to be another defensive player."
"The Knicks have carried out the defense to the end. Flying Dragon, Oakley, plus numbers 65 and 64, defense + rebounds, make the Bulls jealous!" Matt joked.
"Ha ha……"
Bill Walton said with a smile: "The Bulls spent too much money on Jordan and Ewing, adding up to 5000 million US dollars, and almost no one is available on their bench. If the Bulls don't want to solve this problem, there is only one way, Fuck a few starters."
Halfway through the second quarter, Jordan couldn't stand it anymore and asked to play.
Ewing only played 6 minutes in the first quarter and was also sent on the court.
Played well in the first half, the Knicks did not adjust the lineup.
The playing of the two made the situation better, but the Knicks still had the advantage in defense and rebounding. With Zhao Dong's organization, the Bulls couldn't catch up.
After playing for 3 minutes, 47:34, the point difference was expanded by one point.
No way, Phil Jackson replaced Kidd and replaced all the main players.
Bulls attack.
Because Oakley was not on the field and Zhao Dong was on the outside, Ewing wanted to take the opportunity to play a few shots, and was very active in the low post on the left wing.
Big Ben tops the defense.
The height difference between the two is quite large, a natural dislocation advantage.
Kidd passed the ball in without hesitation.
As soon as the ball reached Ewing's hand, Big Ben began to exert force, hitting Ewing so hard that he couldn't turn around.
Ewing forced himself to his feet and hit a sideways hook shot.
"Snapped!"
Big Ben bounced well, and when he jumped up, he gave Ewing a big hat.
But Ewing was lucky, he caught the ball when it fell, and he started backing the big book again.
"boom!"
Turning around, he put his elbow on Big Ben's chest, trying to repel him, and took the opportunity to sneak into the paint area.
But Da Ben held his chest up and did not retreat half a step, so Ewing was blocked after only half a step forward.
As a super center, playing against such an undrafted pick, he was still a small guy who was short on his head, and couldn't get in. Ewing felt ashamed, and under the humiliation, he continued to throw elbows while arching his back.
Big Ben took another two elbows, but he was still dead, preventing Ewing from hitting him smoothly.
The rest of the Knicks didn't double-team Ewing, so they let Big Ben defend alone.
"Di!"
At this time, the referee blew his whistle, and in 24 seconds, the offense and defense switched.
"Roar!"
After defending against Ewing for 24 seconds and taking a few elbows, Big Ben roared very excitedly.
He likes this kind of intense physical confrontation very much, but unfortunately, he feels that Ewing doesn't put enough pressure on him.
"Ben, well defended." Zhao Dong praised.
"hey-hey!"
Big Ben laughed a couple of times.
"A very tough and small center. He should be at most two meters. He has no height advantage. Apart from toughness, I don't see other advantages for the time being." Bill Walton laughed.
After the second quarter, Bill Walton said with some surprise: "Ben Wallace used to play the third and fourth positions in the Knicks, and his performance was not very good, but now in the fifth position, his performance is indeed a little different.
With five rebounds in a single quarter and a big cap, he also showed a certain ability to protect the basket.
Matt went on to say: "Ben Wallace's movement speed is good, and he has shown a certain ability to assist in defense. His ability to protect the basket in the penalty area does have potential to be tapped. In addition, his confrontation ability is very strong, he is not afraid of confrontation, and his defense is very tough. .Overall, can be a good interior rim-protecting role player.”
Beside the Bulls bench, Jerry Krause looked at Big Ben, a little moved.
He wants an inside gate. Of course, No. 65 is not a gate now, but it has potential to be tapped. If it can be traded, it can be regarded as a good substitute inside.
That is, will the Knicks be traded to the Bulls?
At halftime, 52:41, the Bulls were still 11 points behind.
Facing the Knicks' bench lineup, the main players played, but they didn't recover a few points, which disappointed the Bulls very much.
"26:19, the Knicks had 7 more rebounds in the half, and it is not surprising that the Bulls are behind." Zhang Lili laughed.
"On the 65th, Ben Wallace grabbed 4 rebounds in one quarter, Danny Fortson grabbed 3 rebounds, and Zhao Dong grabbed 3 rebounds. The Knicks grabbed 14 rebounds in this quarter, which is too strong!" Sun Zhenping laughed.
"Where did the Knicks find these rebounding masters?" Back in the locker room, Jordan was very annoyed.
Rodman is old, even if he is not old, plus Ewing, he estimates that the Bulls still can't beat the Knicks in rebounding.
This is because Oakley is not on the court. If Oakley plays again, he feels that the Bulls may be robbed of rebounds.
Of course, if Ewing's playing time increases to 10 minutes in the playoffs, it will be another situation, and the disadvantage of rebounding will be regained.
"In the second half, we strengthened the perimeter defense. We let the flying dragon shoot and defend others with all our strength. We should be able to meet the requirements of reducing the Knicks' perimeter shooting rate. This is our next most important defensive strategy..."
Phil Jackson began to arrange tactics.
"Also, Patrick, our goal is the playoffs. Today, the Dragons played very violently sometimes. I am worried that you will be injured. I will reduce your playing time in the second half." He said to Ewing.
Ewing looked a little ugly, but still nodded.
"Ben, 4 rebounds in a single quarter, isn't it cool?" Oakley joked in the visiting team's locker room.
"I'm lucky today." Big Ben laughed.
赵东找范甘迪要来了他的数据单,看了一下,10投9中,4罚3中,轰下21分6篮板7助攻2抢断6盖帽1犯规的数据。
In the second quarter, based on organization and defense, the foundation of the quadruple double was laid. Whether the task can be completed in the second half depends on the opportunity.
There are too few rebounds because they were taken away by Big Ben and Danny Fortson.
6 assists in a single quarter, which is not bad. In the second quarter, there were a lot of cut tactics and the pace was fast. In the first half of the quarter, the Bulls played off the bench, so it was relatively easy to earn assists.
"Don, in the second half, I'll go back to the low post, lest Ewing say that I dare not play against him." He said to Old Nelson.
Old Nelson and the others were stunned. Is Ewing crazy? He would say that?He can't wait for you to leave the low position?
But Zhao Dong asked, and Old Nelson could only agree.
In the third quarter, Ewing only played half a quarter.
On the Knicks side, Big Ben continued to play and played with Danny Fortson for half a quarter.
His performance in this quarter is not as good as in the second quarter, and his statistics are not good, but his defense is still tough. This is a quality that he clearly shows, and he is not afraid of confrontation.
And Danny Fortson committed an old problem. He fouled consecutively in rebounding and sent several possessions. He was replaced and Oakley played.
Although Zhao Dong was in the low position, he did not focus on attacking, but instead focused on defense and organizing offense.
After the third quarter, the Knicks still controlled the rebounds, 72:65, and the Bulls trailed by 7 points.
But on the offensive end, the Knicks' shooting was not good, Zhao Dong didn't attack, and his scoring was mediocre, relying on the advantage of rebounds to withstand the Bulls' counterattack.
Jordan, on the other hand, shot with all his strength, scoring 14 points in a single quarter. At the same time, the Bulls strengthened their outside defense. The Knicks' outside shooting percentage decreased significantly and turnovers increased. This is the main reason for the Bulls to catch up.
In the case of Ewing's lack of playing time, the rebounding was significantly behind, and they can still play like this, which shows that the Bulls are indeed very strong, and today's tactics are also correct.
In this quarter, Zhao Dong completed the task options of double figures in rebounds and double figures in assists, got a triple double, and was short of two blocked shots.
So, in the fourth quarter, he went to the outside line again, and the inside line was given to Big Ben and Oakley.
In the third quarter, his two big caps were all given to Ewing. In the fourth quarter, Ewing did not play. The possibility of him continuing to block shots in the low position is very small, so he can only go outside.
In the third minute of the fourth quarter, the Bulls attacked.
Jordan was running on the left wing, and Alan Houston followed up, when he suddenly made a counter run.
The moment he ran back, Zhao Dong on the left elbow stared at him.
Zhao Dong too understands Kidd's ability, as long as there is an open space, his ball will definitely arrive.
So at this moment, he pounced on Jordan.
Sure enough, the next moment, Jordan dropped Alan Houston and got an open seat.
At this time, Kidd has two choices, pass to Jordan or pass to Caffey.
When Zhao Dong pounced on Jordan, he saw two open spaces at the same time.
The former is active No.1, the latter is a role player, he chose Jordan.
Jordan looked at the top of the arc and caught the ball with one hand with his left hand. At this moment, he saw Zhao Dong rushing towards him. He was two meters away from him, and he immediately jumped up.
At this moment, Zhao Dong made a judgment. He believed that Jordan would fall back, because if he didn't fall back, he might not be able to escape the fate of being blocked by him.
Therefore, when Jordan took off, he didn't follow him, but took another big step, then flew up, and rushed over.
Jordan really leaned back, because leaning back is the safest shot, which can maximize the distance from the defender.
However, the moment he leaned back, out of the corner of his vision, he saw Zhao Dongzheng on the opposite side zooming in rapidly, approaching him quickly.
"Whoosh!"
With a flick of his wrist, he made a shot, specially adjusting the arc of the shot to prevent it from being blocked.
Zhao Dongfei was in the air, almost covering Jordan's lower body. Seeing Jordan's shot, he stretched his right arm as hard as he could, trying his best to touch the basketball.
"Snapped!"
The moment the ball flew up, the front half of his palm touched the bottom of the ball, and he tapped the ball.
"what?"
Jordan was shocked, his fadeaway jumper was blocked?
"Block? Beautiful! Beautiful! Zhao Dong blocked Jordan's fadeaway jumper, and he blocked Jordan in the defense!" Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.
"Accurate defensive prediction, I dare to conclude that Feilong must have predicted Jordan's shot method, otherwise it would be impossible to block this shot."
Bill Wharton exclaimed excitedly.
"One cap, Flying Dragon is only one cap away, and he can hit a quadruple-double!" Matt shouted excitedly.
At this time, Alan Houston grabbed the ball and scored a goal after a quick play.
"Listen, Mr. Jordan, you should thank me." Zhao Dong said to Jordan seriously.
"What should I thank you for?" Jordan said angrily.
"Don't worry, I don't want you to thank me for beating you up." Zhao Dong said coldly.
Jordan's face was very ugly, and he wanted to jump up and hit him.
"I want you to thank me, because my defense gave your shot a soul." Zhao Dong said.
"roll!"
Jordan was so angry that he vomited blood.
"I'll stare at you, I'll just stare at you, remember it, don't make any more shots, because if I get another one, it's a quadruple-double, a stat you won't be able to hit in your lifetime." Zhao Dong said.
"roll!"
Jordan felt like he was losing control of his emotions.
"Haha!" Zhao Dong laughed.
In the 6th minute of the last quarter, 82:78, Jordan had already scored 40+, the Bulls were only 4 points behind, and the Bulls had the ball. At this time, Phil Jackson replaced Ewing.
Ewing played for 8 minutes in this game and maintained good physical fitness.
"The Bulls strengthened their defense in the second half and played the defensive strength of the playoffs. The Knicks' outside touch was terrible. Zhao Dong passed so many balls, but he just missed his shots. Hu Weidong also made 4 of 1 shots and felt very cool." Zhang Reasonable Tucao Road.
"If Zhao Dong doesn't attack today, otherwise with his attacking efficiency, it would be impossible for the Bulls to catch up." Sun Zhenping said.
"That's for sure, the Knicks have the upper hand in rebounding and inside defense." Zhang Lili said.
The Bulls attacked, Zhao Dong was still in the left elbow area, and the person he was looking at was thrown at least two meters away by him.
"Jason Kidd, pass the ball to that guy, I'm one cap away." Pointing at Kafei, he shouted at Kidd.
Kidd twitched, damn it, you must avoid becoming a quadruple-double background king today.
A person like Kafei who can't shoot quickly must have a wide open to pass. This kind of small open of two meters can return to the defense in one step, so it is impossible for him to pass.
"Caffey's three-point long-range shooting ability is not strong, and he can't pull the dragon at all." Jerry Krause feels that his lineup still needs to be adjusted.
To deal with the Knicks and the Dragons, you must have a very perfect lineup. He now has this understanding.
At this time, Ewing suddenly slipped to the bottom, and Daben failed to defend this time and lost his defensive position.
Kidd's eyes lit up, and the next moment, the ball was hoisted to the basket.
He gave Ewing the best pass. As long as Ewing jumped up one foot, he could complete an alley-oop dunk by catching the ball.
But when he passed the ball, Zhao Dong returned to the basket.
When Ewing jumped up to catch the ball, Zhao Dong had already jumped on top of him and followed him.
"Snapped!"
With a crisp thump, the ball jumped up.
"Ugh!"
Seeing the achievement of the quadruple pair, the audience sighed.
"Quadruple double! It's beautiful, Feilong hit the first quadruple double of his career, all-round performance, the first quadruple double..."
Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.
In the TNT live broadcast seat, Bill Walton said excitedly: "This is the fifth quadruple-double in league history, the fifth! The first four were created by Nate Thurmond in 1974 and Erwin Robertson in 1986. Created in 1990, Olajuwon in 1994, David Robinson in [-]."
This quadruple-double broke the Bulls' will, and Zhao Dong, who had completed the quadruple-double task, also began to strengthen his offense. Jordan and Ewing were powerless and lost the first regular season game between the two teams.
At the end, 96:86, the Knicks won by 10 points.
赵东全场48分钟,16投12中,三分球1投1中,6罚5中,轰下30分12篮板12助攻3抢断10盖帽3犯规的数据。
On the TNT live broadcast, Bill Walton finally concluded: "Actually, without Rodman's rebounds today, Ewing only played 24 minutes. He was not tough enough on the defensive end to support the Bulls' inside line. The chances are very small.
If it weren't for the Knicks feeling too cold in the second half, they made 51 of 16 shots and only 31% from the field. With the Knicks' rebounding and defense, they would have won by at least [-] points. "
"It can be said that a very important reason is that the Bulls lost today against the Knicks' two substitute insiders. Ben Wallace and Danny Fortson jointly grabbed 16 rebounds, and their combined playing time was 54. Minutes, this efficiency is very high." Matt said.
"The Knicks didn't play well from the outside. John Starks' performance this season was very unstable. In 26 minutes today, he made 9 of 2 shots and his performance was inaccurate. Alan Houston was defended by Jordan and made 15 of 3 shots. He just made [-]% of his shots. Rate, wasted too many outside shots." Bill Wharton said.
"It seems that this season, the Knicks' outside line is still weak, and they are strong inside. This is weird. They traded Ewing, but the inside line is stronger?"
Matt looked oddly authentic.
"The Knicks are only strong in defense and rebounding inside, and their offensive ability is very poor, which is not as good as last season. The biggest problem with the outside offense is instability, which is a big weakness. Of course, today's poor outside is also because of the Bulls. The perimeter defense is too strong, and Jordan and Kidd's defense is not vegetarian. How to put it, Rodman went down at the beginning of this game, otherwise the Bulls still have a chance to win, and their defensive strategy is right." Bill Walton laughed.
"Speaking of the Bulls' defense, they didn't double-team the Dragons today, but defended everyone else with all their strength. This should be the most important reason for the Knicks' outside misalignment," Matt said.
"It's like this. The Knicks can't get open outside. They shoot against the defenders. The shooting rate is definitely not high. If the Bulls played like this in the Eastern Conference Finals last time, it might be another result. But if the Knicks If the instability of the outside line is not resolved, and the Bulls have strengthened the inside line and rebounding, the next time they meet, it is likely to be another result." Bill Walton said.
At the scene, Zhao Dong accepted the post-match interview.
"Feilong, you scored a quadruple-double today, tell me how you feel?" Thomas, the team reporter, asked excitedly.
"It's an unparalleled enjoyment to be able to score a quadruple-double against Jordan and the Bulls, and still win." Zhao Dong smiled proudly.
"Michael will cut a quadruple-double on your head next time." A local reporter said very unhappily.
"He didn't hit a quadruple-double in his peak period, and he won't have a chance in the future. He will never hit a quadruple-double." Zhao Dong said disdainfully.
"That's because you beat him, otherwise he's in better shape today and can definitely beat you." The reporter said angrily.
"Heh, if he still dares to defend like that, he will fight the same next time." Zhao Dong said coldly.
"You? You thug." The reporter was speechless.
After hastily ending the on-site interview, Zhao Dong rushed back to the locker room.
(End of this chapter)
At this time, in New York, at Stern's house, his expression was very serious.
He knew that this matter must be treated with caution, and now he faced a choice again, whether to continue to support Jordan, or...to support Zhao Dong at the same time?
For a long time, his attitude towards Zhao Dong was to let him go, and he did not support or suppress him.
However, during the offseason, Zhao Dong disregarded the league's ban and had a private fight with Karl Malone, which made him very angry and wanted to suppress it.
But since the new season, Zhao Dong has continued his explosive performance in his rookie season and even showed a stronger scoring ability, which has attracted more and more fans.
In particular, Zhao Dong is different from Jordan. He not only has Jordan's technical flow and quality flow, but also possesses the violent style of Beastism. He looks as handsome as Jordan, which even makes him have more fans than Jordan.
In a word, what Jordan has, Zhao Dong rarely doesn't know, but what Zhao Dong has, Jordan doesn't necessarily have.
After all, Jordan is getting old. Although Zhao Dong is Chinese, if Zhao Dong can maintain the development of the league after Jordan, it is not impossible for him to support him.
In fact, he no longer wants to experience the dilemma of losing Jordan again, but Jordan is indeed getting old.
The only regret is that Zhao Dong is Chinese and is destined not to become the next Michael Jordan.
However, he is now planning to implement a global development plan to promote the NBA to the world, so Zhao Dong, as a non-local superstar, will definitely be able to boost his plan, at least in China and Asia.
It was precisely based on this idea that he did not implement the idea of suppressing Zhao Dong. As before, he did not support or suppress him for the time being.
But it's not going to work now, this matter has become a big deal, and he must express his position, and he must show his attitude to the league.
He picked up the microphone of the landline next to him, but he still had some doubts and moved very slowly, and even wanted to put the microphone back.
But in the end, he still made a call: "Give Michael a technical foul, that action is too dangerous."
"What? Mr. Stern..."
The guy over there was obviously very surprised and had to wait to ask, but Stern had already hung up without any explanation.
The news quickly spread to the arena, and the referee was very surprised when he was notified.
Jordan sees the umpire walking up to him, has a bad feeling, and the next moment he sees the umpire make a T-sign.
"yeah!"
There was joy on the Knicks bench.
"Shet!"
It's nothing to eat a T, but Jordan is really wronged. He really didn't mean it.
Of course, he was also inexplicably relieved, because he was also afraid of being treated like that by the Knicks.
But he understands the deeper meaning of this change of sentence. If there is a change of sentence, the referee must have received instructions from the higher-ups. What does this mean?
He glanced at Zhao Dong, did this damned Chinese get Stern's favor?
Step on him, damn it, he now understands what it's like to grow old, this feeling of being extremely resentful but powerless.
If he was made to be three years younger, he would never give Zhao Dong a chance to be in the top position. He would firmly trample Zhao Dong under his feet, making him unable to lift his head.
Next free throws, first penalty Jordan's technical offender, Zhao Dong made a free throw, then made two free throws from Larry Johnson, Jordan made two free throws by himself, and finally punished Zhao Dong's technical offender, Jordan made another free throw.
At 9:10, the Knicks trailed by one point and the Bulls got the ball.
"Jordan was punched twice, but he still gained something. He surpassed the score and still has the ball in his hands. It's a good deal." Zhang Lili complained.
"We Chinese are not easy to bully." Sun Zhenping said.
In the TNT live broadcast, Bill Wharton said thoughtfully: "The referee changed the judgment, and Michael got a T after being beaten. This is a rare thing."
"The Knicks are really monolithic. The leader of Feilong has been recognized by everyone. If Michael is not given a T, no one can guarantee what will happen in the future. I think this is the best way to deal with it." Matt laughed.
"Yes, I think so too." Bill Wharton laughed.
The game restarted and the Bulls attacked.
Kidd has the ball and the others run.
Ewing was also running, getting out of the basket and going in again.
Zhao Dong also pulled out and then followed in.
Just as he was following up in the paint area, Bulls small forward Caffey ran over to make a pick-and-roll, allowing Ewing to get a chance to play Oakley in a misplaced position in the paint area.
Kidd sees his dislocation immediately, and the pass comes in quickly.
This is Kidd's ability, as long as there are openings and mismatches, he can see them and will not waste opportunities.
Seeing this pass, the old Nelson on the sidelines shook his head. If he had Kidd in his hands, the Knicks' offensive ability would definitely be improved.
When the pick-and-roll happened, Zhao Dong didn't use the pick-and-roll method to squeeze through, because Kafei's tonnage was about the same as him, and he didn't have much advantage in strength. Instead, he used the pick-and-roll bypass method to make full use of his mobility advantage.
"Snapped!"
Ewing shot on Oakley's head, the latter hit a vicious hit, stopped his attack, and then the whistle sounded.
He shook his hand, his wrist was red, and he was surprised that Oakley hit him so hard?This made him very uncomfortable.
"Patrick, we are rivals now, mortal enemies, and that's what you said." Seeing Ewing's surprised expression, Oakley said coldly.
The corners of Ewing's eyes twitched, he snorted coldly, and walked to the free throw line.
The first free throw was made, the second free throw was missed, the rebound was grabbed by Camby, and the Knicks attacked.
Zhao Dong didn't play low post this time, but stopped on the right-wing three-point line and asked Charlie Ward for the ball.
"Does Feilong want to attack the Bulls inside?"
In the TNT live broadcast seat, Bill Walton immediately reacted, and immediately analyzed: "The first ball at the beginning, he used a strong impact to kill Rodman, and now Ewing and Bill Wennington can block it." His shock?"
The Bulls switched defenses, and small forward Kafei defended in front of Zhao Dong.
"boom!"
Zhao Dong's movements are very simple, as soon as he gets the ball, he starts it immediately, and between dribbles, he beats Kafei with his speed, without any fake moves, just one step to overpower his opponent.
Kafei wanted to use a foul to stop the breakthrough, so he turned around and fished for a handful, but Mao didn't catch one.
Ewing sits at the basket, and backup center Bill Wennington defends Zhao Dong.
Zhao Dong suddenly slowed down, then started to accelerate again, changed direction and broke through the second line of defense, went to the basket, and flew towards Ewing.
Ewing himself was not tough enough, facing Zhao Dong's ferocious dunks, he could only take a step back to make room for the basket.
"boom!"
Amidst the violent smashing of baskets, the United Center was bombed into silence.
Michael Jordan really made these Bulls fans worship him as a god, and he dedicated countless wonderful performances to them in this arena, but this kind of brutalist and extremely brutal flat-basket dunks did not.
This kind of violent buckle smashing was the most exciting action. Even though they hated Zhao Dong from the bottom of their hearts, this smashing buckle full of visual impact instantly hit their G-spot.
Their adrenaline is bursting, their emotions are in a state of eruption, but they are forced to press it down.
This kind of emotional conflict makes them very uncomfortable, feeling overwhelmed, and makes them want to swear, or even vent their anger with violence.
"Flying Dragon once again showed beast-level physical fitness. He played above the rim, and his brutal style of play was as crazy as a beast. He was dominating the Bulls' paint area, dominating the Bulls' inside players..." Bill Walton excitedly roared.
"Another soulless dunk." Zhao Dong glanced at Ewing with disdain, turned and left.
Ewing was so angry that he vomited blood, but he really didn't dare to go up to the hard top, as long as he did it once, he might retire.
"The tonnage of the inside line, the breakthrough speed of a first-class guard, and the super explosive style of play of a small forward are the reasons why Feilong is becoming more and more popular among fans." Matt praised.
"Matt, do you think Feilong's heavy small forward style of play will become a trend in the league?" Bill Walton asked suddenly.
"what?"
Matt was startled, he thought for a while and said, "It's hard, Feilong is the first player like this, even if you want to copy it, it may be difficult to find a player with such physical quality, right?"
"Of course, a player with the quality of Feilong is even more rare than a player with the quality of Jordan. It is definitely rare in 20 years."
Bill Walton laughed.
"In fact, there are many similar players, but he is not as polarized as him. He has the body of an inside line, the speed of a first-class guard, and the explosive power of a small forward." Matt laughed.
"Yeah, players like Chamberlain, O'Neal, Ewing, Damon, David Robinson, they're all centers, but they all have the speed of a small forward, which allows them to match anyone in the paint except them. Other than yourself, you can have a misplaced advantage." Bill Wharton said.
"It is with such a strong physical fitness that they can become historical superstars." Matt said.
"And now Feilong has a stronger physical quality, which gives him a stronger dislocation advantage, so it is also predictable that he will become a real historical superstar. Especially his body is particularly capable of carrying, and his ability to resist injuries When he is super good, he will have a particularly exciting career." Bill Wharton said.
"Thinking of Feilong's special ability to handle this, I thought of the one-sided boxing match between him and the postman." Matt laughed suddenly.
With a puff, Bill Wharton suddenly burst out laughing, and couldn't help laughing and said: "Two guys confronted each other, one was beaten to a severe concussion, the other went drinking after getting off the ring, and then made a date with Michael Tyson." This contrast is really strong."
"Haha..." The two laughed.
In the 8th minute of the first quarter, at 20:20, the two teams tied.
Ewing made 6 of 2 shots, swallowed Zhao Dong's three caps, and was replaced.
In the past few minutes, Zhao Dong frequently launched attacks from the outside, but Ewing was unable to defend against the former's impact on the defensive end, and did not take it hard once, which disappointed the fans.
Phil Jackson and Jordan have long been mentally prepared and are not very disappointed.
General manager Jerry Krause began to assess the flaws of this lineup when facing the Knicks.
Although the Bulls have Kidd, there is no problem in organizing the offense, but he can't ignore one point, the inside line is too soft, Zhao Dong's impact alone can make the Bulls suffer.
And last season's Eastern Conference finals also proved that double-teaming Zhao Dong is useless, because his assist ability is too strong.
Rodman is not suitable for defending Zhao Dong's type of players, he is only suitable for top defense in positional warfare.
His specific idea is to have an inside gate, the kind of iron-blooded inside that can withstand Zhao Dong's impact.
It is not necessary for this insider to have a strong scoring ability, role players are fine, but they must be tough enough and have a strong ability to protect the basket.
On the outside, that is, at the small forward position, there must be someone who can entangle Zhao Dong.
This person must move fast, must not be small in tonnage and strength, and must defend well. It is best to be able to shoot three-pointers, so that he can empty the opponent's defense line on the offensive end.
Such a person is hard to find, similar to Zhao Dong's quality, but he must find such a person, so that the Bulls can hope to beat the Knicks.
Zhao Dong had a heavy task today, and he didn't end up playing the entire first quarter.
他打出了凶残的野兽流风格,化身为了黄色统治者,疯狂暴扣之下,7投7中,4罚3中,轰下17分3篮板1助攻1抢断3盖帽1犯规的数据。
乔丹同样打满第一节,10投7中,3罚3中,轰下17分1篮板1助攻1抢断1盖帽1犯规的数据。
The Knicks double-teamed Jordan, and the intensity was far less than in the playoffs.
The Bulls did not double-team Zhao Dong. This was a change made by Phil Jackson in consideration of last season's failure, allowing Zhao Dong to score and prevent others from dying.
This is another kind of Jordan's law, and it has achieved good results. Although Zhao Dong played efficiently, the team did not take the lead.
He also passed a lot of balls, but his teammates were inefficiently defended by the Bulls and only got one assist.
After the first quarter, at 25:25, the two teams drew again.
Although he was beaten today, Jordan is very excited. The team's defense is against him. If the inside line is stronger, he feels that he can beat the Knicks.
"Jason Caffey, you didn't complete the task I gave you. You only fouled Feilong twice. Do you want to save the other four fouls for the next game?"
On the Bulls bench, Phil Jackson said.
Kafei explained helplessly: "He is too fast and flexible, I really can't keep up."
Phil Jackson also has a headache, about the same height and tonnage, why is his mobility so far behind?
On the Knicks bench, Nelson Sr. began to adjust the lineup.
This month, he has begun to increase the playing time of the backup big man.
His plan is to grind out the two young substitutes inside before the playoffs, and then Zhao Dong can return to the outside.
Through this period of observation, he is not optimistic about Camby. He is not good at protecting the basket, nor is he good at offense. His body is too fragile. I am sorry for his second pick.
Big Ben and Danny Fortson, he is more optimistic about the latter.
In fact, Danny Fortson's time was not suppressed at all. His ability to grab rebounds was too strong. Unfortunately, fouls were uncontrollable, which not only affected his playing time, but also wasted a lot of possessions.
As for Daben, he was not very optimistic about his potential at the center position, so he kept letting Daben substitute Zhao Dong to play power forward, or even small forward, but now it seems that the effect is very poor.
Big Ben is not very suitable for his small ball style of play, because in his style of play, the center must be good at passing the ball and have vision, and this is the ability that Big Ben does not have.
But there are only so few candidates, so they can only be used as they are.
"Ben, you go to position five," he said.
"Yes, coach." Big Ben said excitedly.
The lineup for the second quarter is led by Zhao Dong. He plays at position [-], Daben at position [-], Danny Fortson at position [-], John Starks at position [-], and Hu Weidong at position [-].
In this quarter, Zhao Dong played small forward for organization.
Just because he played the organization, he didn't go to the point guard, but Hu Weidong.
This lineup does not have height, but the overall speed and internal and external defense are good.
In terms of offense, the outside offense is very strong, but the disadvantage is that the inside offensive ability is poor.
But this lineup can bear Old Neal's idea of blurring positions.
For the Bulls, they are all substitutes, all unknown.
The only one who is famous is Steve Kerr. His fame comes from fighting Jordan in the team training game in 95.
Jordan didn't play. After all, it was the regular season. He couldn't play the whole game, and he was too old.
The Bulls attacked and Cole missed a three-pointer.
Zhao Dong preemptively blocked the position, but at this time Danny Fortson rushed over and almost knocked him over, and the rebound was taken away by Daben.
"Boss?"
Danny Fortson was very embarrassed when he grabbed the rebound and grabbed the boss.
The three of them scrambled into a group, which made Zhao Dong very speechless.
Especially Fortson, if this is a fight with the Bulls, it might be another physical foul, and the ball should be given directly to the opponent.
At this time, the Knicks went down quickly, Hu Weidong and John Starks fast forwarded from the left and right wings respectively, Zhao Dong quickly advanced with the ball in the middle, and Da Ben and Danny Fortson followed behind him.
Zhao Dong stopped at the three-point line.
At this time, according to the tactical requirements, Big Ben and Danny Fortson, who were behind him, suddenly pulled to the left and right, and at the same time made a pick-and-roll for Hu Weidong and John Starks who were cutting inside.
Zhao Dong's ball flew to Hu Weidong, who was in a more prominent position. The latter caught the ball and flew up. It was a one-armed dunk that slammed into the Bulls' basket.
"Beautiful! This coordination is so beautiful!"
Surprised, Zhang Lili praised: "I hope Zhao Dong and Hu Weidong can play such a beautiful cooperation after returning to the national team."
On the TNT live broadcast, Bill Walton explained: "From the transition of offense and defense, the Knicks' offense took only [-] seconds, a typical old Nelson's offensive style."
"Flying Dragon holds the ball on the outside to attract defense, the other outside cuts inside, and the two insides do pick-and-rolls. The offense is well-structured. If No. 66 Huo can't score, John Starks can play a second offense." Matt analyzed. .
"Not only John Starks, No. 65 Ben Wallace and No. 64 Danny Fortson all returned to the basket after the pick-and-roll. They can both play second offense and grab offensive rebounds."
Bill Walton laughed.
In the following time, Zhao Dong tried his best to organize the attack, sending out assists again and again in the rapid transition of offense and defense.
In just half a quarter, he sent 5 assists, averaging 2.5 passes to get 1 assist. The assist ratio is very high, and the Bulls' bench lineup was blown to pieces.
So many assists, thanks to rebounds.
Zhao Dong, Da Ben, and Danny Fortson are all strong rebounders. Even though the latter two have not grown up yet, their rebounding ability is still showing its edge in the face of the Bulls' bench lineup.
Daben sits at the basket, and his performance is immediately different from that of the 3rd and [-]th positions before. Today, he showed his strength and grabbed [-] rebounds in half a quarter by himself.
The team grabbed 8 rebounds, and only let the Bulls grab 2 in total, far surpassing the latter in shots.
After the half quarter, at 42:30, the Knicks scored 17 points in the half quarter, only allowing the Bulls to score 5 points.
Jordan, sitting on the bench, was in a bad mood, really bad.
He was punched twice, and now the substitute lineup has been punched through again. How does it make him feel good?
If it comes to the playoffs, if they can't grab the opponent's rebounds and take [-] or [-] shots less in a game, won't the Bulls lose?
The Bulls used to be strong on Rodman's rebounding, but now, even if Rodman returns to the peak period of the Pistons, he can't stop the Knicks, a group of rebounding beasts!
"My God, everyone is not optimistic about the Knicks this season, but you look at its bench lineup now, isn't it too strong? Just rebounds, not counting Zhao Dong, just the numbers 64 and 65, can Pile up the opponent's bench lineup."
Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.
"Haha..." Sun Zhenping just laughed.
In the TNT live broadcast seat, Bill Walton said with a serious expression: "The No. 65 Ben Wallace was an undrafted pick in 96. He didn't play much. Today he performed well, with three rebounds in a single quarter, and Danny Ford. Like Sen, he is very active in defense and grabbing rebounds, but he has no offensive ability, and he seems to be another defensive player."
"The Knicks have carried out the defense to the end. Flying Dragon, Oakley, plus numbers 65 and 64, defense + rebounds, make the Bulls jealous!" Matt joked.
"Ha ha……"
Bill Walton said with a smile: "The Bulls spent too much money on Jordan and Ewing, adding up to 5000 million US dollars, and almost no one is available on their bench. If the Bulls don't want to solve this problem, there is only one way, Fuck a few starters."
Halfway through the second quarter, Jordan couldn't stand it anymore and asked to play.
Ewing only played 6 minutes in the first quarter and was also sent on the court.
Played well in the first half, the Knicks did not adjust the lineup.
The playing of the two made the situation better, but the Knicks still had the advantage in defense and rebounding. With Zhao Dong's organization, the Bulls couldn't catch up.
After playing for 3 minutes, 47:34, the point difference was expanded by one point.
No way, Phil Jackson replaced Kidd and replaced all the main players.
Bulls attack.
Because Oakley was not on the field and Zhao Dong was on the outside, Ewing wanted to take the opportunity to play a few shots, and was very active in the low post on the left wing.
Big Ben tops the defense.
The height difference between the two is quite large, a natural dislocation advantage.
Kidd passed the ball in without hesitation.
As soon as the ball reached Ewing's hand, Big Ben began to exert force, hitting Ewing so hard that he couldn't turn around.
Ewing forced himself to his feet and hit a sideways hook shot.
"Snapped!"
Big Ben bounced well, and when he jumped up, he gave Ewing a big hat.
But Ewing was lucky, he caught the ball when it fell, and he started backing the big book again.
"boom!"
Turning around, he put his elbow on Big Ben's chest, trying to repel him, and took the opportunity to sneak into the paint area.
But Da Ben held his chest up and did not retreat half a step, so Ewing was blocked after only half a step forward.
As a super center, playing against such an undrafted pick, he was still a small guy who was short on his head, and couldn't get in. Ewing felt ashamed, and under the humiliation, he continued to throw elbows while arching his back.
Big Ben took another two elbows, but he was still dead, preventing Ewing from hitting him smoothly.
The rest of the Knicks didn't double-team Ewing, so they let Big Ben defend alone.
"Di!"
At this time, the referee blew his whistle, and in 24 seconds, the offense and defense switched.
"Roar!"
After defending against Ewing for 24 seconds and taking a few elbows, Big Ben roared very excitedly.
He likes this kind of intense physical confrontation very much, but unfortunately, he feels that Ewing doesn't put enough pressure on him.
"Ben, well defended." Zhao Dong praised.
"hey-hey!"
Big Ben laughed a couple of times.
"A very tough and small center. He should be at most two meters. He has no height advantage. Apart from toughness, I don't see other advantages for the time being." Bill Walton laughed.
After the second quarter, Bill Walton said with some surprise: "Ben Wallace used to play the third and fourth positions in the Knicks, and his performance was not very good, but now in the fifth position, his performance is indeed a little different.
With five rebounds in a single quarter and a big cap, he also showed a certain ability to protect the basket.
Matt went on to say: "Ben Wallace's movement speed is good, and he has shown a certain ability to assist in defense. His ability to protect the basket in the penalty area does have potential to be tapped. In addition, his confrontation ability is very strong, he is not afraid of confrontation, and his defense is very tough. .Overall, can be a good interior rim-protecting role player.”
Beside the Bulls bench, Jerry Krause looked at Big Ben, a little moved.
He wants an inside gate. Of course, No. 65 is not a gate now, but it has potential to be tapped. If it can be traded, it can be regarded as a good substitute inside.
That is, will the Knicks be traded to the Bulls?
At halftime, 52:41, the Bulls were still 11 points behind.
Facing the Knicks' bench lineup, the main players played, but they didn't recover a few points, which disappointed the Bulls very much.
"26:19, the Knicks had 7 more rebounds in the half, and it is not surprising that the Bulls are behind." Zhang Lili laughed.
"On the 65th, Ben Wallace grabbed 4 rebounds in one quarter, Danny Fortson grabbed 3 rebounds, and Zhao Dong grabbed 3 rebounds. The Knicks grabbed 14 rebounds in this quarter, which is too strong!" Sun Zhenping laughed.
"Where did the Knicks find these rebounding masters?" Back in the locker room, Jordan was very annoyed.
Rodman is old, even if he is not old, plus Ewing, he estimates that the Bulls still can't beat the Knicks in rebounding.
This is because Oakley is not on the court. If Oakley plays again, he feels that the Bulls may be robbed of rebounds.
Of course, if Ewing's playing time increases to 10 minutes in the playoffs, it will be another situation, and the disadvantage of rebounding will be regained.
"In the second half, we strengthened the perimeter defense. We let the flying dragon shoot and defend others with all our strength. We should be able to meet the requirements of reducing the Knicks' perimeter shooting rate. This is our next most important defensive strategy..."
Phil Jackson began to arrange tactics.
"Also, Patrick, our goal is the playoffs. Today, the Dragons played very violently sometimes. I am worried that you will be injured. I will reduce your playing time in the second half." He said to Ewing.
Ewing looked a little ugly, but still nodded.
"Ben, 4 rebounds in a single quarter, isn't it cool?" Oakley joked in the visiting team's locker room.
"I'm lucky today." Big Ben laughed.
赵东找范甘迪要来了他的数据单,看了一下,10投9中,4罚3中,轰下21分6篮板7助攻2抢断6盖帽1犯规的数据。
In the second quarter, based on organization and defense, the foundation of the quadruple double was laid. Whether the task can be completed in the second half depends on the opportunity.
There are too few rebounds because they were taken away by Big Ben and Danny Fortson.
6 assists in a single quarter, which is not bad. In the second quarter, there were a lot of cut tactics and the pace was fast. In the first half of the quarter, the Bulls played off the bench, so it was relatively easy to earn assists.
"Don, in the second half, I'll go back to the low post, lest Ewing say that I dare not play against him." He said to Old Nelson.
Old Nelson and the others were stunned. Is Ewing crazy? He would say that?He can't wait for you to leave the low position?
But Zhao Dong asked, and Old Nelson could only agree.
In the third quarter, Ewing only played half a quarter.
On the Knicks side, Big Ben continued to play and played with Danny Fortson for half a quarter.
His performance in this quarter is not as good as in the second quarter, and his statistics are not good, but his defense is still tough. This is a quality that he clearly shows, and he is not afraid of confrontation.
And Danny Fortson committed an old problem. He fouled consecutively in rebounding and sent several possessions. He was replaced and Oakley played.
Although Zhao Dong was in the low position, he did not focus on attacking, but instead focused on defense and organizing offense.
After the third quarter, the Knicks still controlled the rebounds, 72:65, and the Bulls trailed by 7 points.
But on the offensive end, the Knicks' shooting was not good, Zhao Dong didn't attack, and his scoring was mediocre, relying on the advantage of rebounds to withstand the Bulls' counterattack.
Jordan, on the other hand, shot with all his strength, scoring 14 points in a single quarter. At the same time, the Bulls strengthened their outside defense. The Knicks' outside shooting percentage decreased significantly and turnovers increased. This is the main reason for the Bulls to catch up.
In the case of Ewing's lack of playing time, the rebounding was significantly behind, and they can still play like this, which shows that the Bulls are indeed very strong, and today's tactics are also correct.
In this quarter, Zhao Dong completed the task options of double figures in rebounds and double figures in assists, got a triple double, and was short of two blocked shots.
So, in the fourth quarter, he went to the outside line again, and the inside line was given to Big Ben and Oakley.
In the third quarter, his two big caps were all given to Ewing. In the fourth quarter, Ewing did not play. The possibility of him continuing to block shots in the low position is very small, so he can only go outside.
In the third minute of the fourth quarter, the Bulls attacked.
Jordan was running on the left wing, and Alan Houston followed up, when he suddenly made a counter run.
The moment he ran back, Zhao Dong on the left elbow stared at him.
Zhao Dong too understands Kidd's ability, as long as there is an open space, his ball will definitely arrive.
So at this moment, he pounced on Jordan.
Sure enough, the next moment, Jordan dropped Alan Houston and got an open seat.
At this time, Kidd has two choices, pass to Jordan or pass to Caffey.
When Zhao Dong pounced on Jordan, he saw two open spaces at the same time.
The former is active No.1, the latter is a role player, he chose Jordan.
Jordan looked at the top of the arc and caught the ball with one hand with his left hand. At this moment, he saw Zhao Dong rushing towards him. He was two meters away from him, and he immediately jumped up.
At this moment, Zhao Dong made a judgment. He believed that Jordan would fall back, because if he didn't fall back, he might not be able to escape the fate of being blocked by him.
Therefore, when Jordan took off, he didn't follow him, but took another big step, then flew up, and rushed over.
Jordan really leaned back, because leaning back is the safest shot, which can maximize the distance from the defender.
However, the moment he leaned back, out of the corner of his vision, he saw Zhao Dongzheng on the opposite side zooming in rapidly, approaching him quickly.
"Whoosh!"
With a flick of his wrist, he made a shot, specially adjusting the arc of the shot to prevent it from being blocked.
Zhao Dongfei was in the air, almost covering Jordan's lower body. Seeing Jordan's shot, he stretched his right arm as hard as he could, trying his best to touch the basketball.
"Snapped!"
The moment the ball flew up, the front half of his palm touched the bottom of the ball, and he tapped the ball.
"what?"
Jordan was shocked, his fadeaway jumper was blocked?
"Block? Beautiful! Beautiful! Zhao Dong blocked Jordan's fadeaway jumper, and he blocked Jordan in the defense!" Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.
"Accurate defensive prediction, I dare to conclude that Feilong must have predicted Jordan's shot method, otherwise it would be impossible to block this shot."
Bill Wharton exclaimed excitedly.
"One cap, Flying Dragon is only one cap away, and he can hit a quadruple-double!" Matt shouted excitedly.
At this time, Alan Houston grabbed the ball and scored a goal after a quick play.
"Listen, Mr. Jordan, you should thank me." Zhao Dong said to Jordan seriously.
"What should I thank you for?" Jordan said angrily.
"Don't worry, I don't want you to thank me for beating you up." Zhao Dong said coldly.
Jordan's face was very ugly, and he wanted to jump up and hit him.
"I want you to thank me, because my defense gave your shot a soul." Zhao Dong said.
"roll!"
Jordan was so angry that he vomited blood.
"I'll stare at you, I'll just stare at you, remember it, don't make any more shots, because if I get another one, it's a quadruple-double, a stat you won't be able to hit in your lifetime." Zhao Dong said.
"roll!"
Jordan felt like he was losing control of his emotions.
"Haha!" Zhao Dong laughed.
In the 6th minute of the last quarter, 82:78, Jordan had already scored 40+, the Bulls were only 4 points behind, and the Bulls had the ball. At this time, Phil Jackson replaced Ewing.
Ewing played for 8 minutes in this game and maintained good physical fitness.
"The Bulls strengthened their defense in the second half and played the defensive strength of the playoffs. The Knicks' outside touch was terrible. Zhao Dong passed so many balls, but he just missed his shots. Hu Weidong also made 4 of 1 shots and felt very cool." Zhang Reasonable Tucao Road.
"If Zhao Dong doesn't attack today, otherwise with his attacking efficiency, it would be impossible for the Bulls to catch up." Sun Zhenping said.
"That's for sure, the Knicks have the upper hand in rebounding and inside defense." Zhang Lili said.
The Bulls attacked, Zhao Dong was still in the left elbow area, and the person he was looking at was thrown at least two meters away by him.
"Jason Kidd, pass the ball to that guy, I'm one cap away." Pointing at Kafei, he shouted at Kidd.
Kidd twitched, damn it, you must avoid becoming a quadruple-double background king today.
A person like Kafei who can't shoot quickly must have a wide open to pass. This kind of small open of two meters can return to the defense in one step, so it is impossible for him to pass.
"Caffey's three-point long-range shooting ability is not strong, and he can't pull the dragon at all." Jerry Krause feels that his lineup still needs to be adjusted.
To deal with the Knicks and the Dragons, you must have a very perfect lineup. He now has this understanding.
At this time, Ewing suddenly slipped to the bottom, and Daben failed to defend this time and lost his defensive position.
Kidd's eyes lit up, and the next moment, the ball was hoisted to the basket.
He gave Ewing the best pass. As long as Ewing jumped up one foot, he could complete an alley-oop dunk by catching the ball.
But when he passed the ball, Zhao Dong returned to the basket.
When Ewing jumped up to catch the ball, Zhao Dong had already jumped on top of him and followed him.
"Snapped!"
With a crisp thump, the ball jumped up.
"Ugh!"
Seeing the achievement of the quadruple pair, the audience sighed.
"Quadruple double! It's beautiful, Feilong hit the first quadruple double of his career, all-round performance, the first quadruple double..."
Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.
In the TNT live broadcast seat, Bill Walton said excitedly: "This is the fifth quadruple-double in league history, the fifth! The first four were created by Nate Thurmond in 1974 and Erwin Robertson in 1986. Created in 1990, Olajuwon in 1994, David Robinson in [-]."
This quadruple-double broke the Bulls' will, and Zhao Dong, who had completed the quadruple-double task, also began to strengthen his offense. Jordan and Ewing were powerless and lost the first regular season game between the two teams.
At the end, 96:86, the Knicks won by 10 points.
赵东全场48分钟,16投12中,三分球1投1中,6罚5中,轰下30分12篮板12助攻3抢断10盖帽3犯规的数据。
On the TNT live broadcast, Bill Walton finally concluded: "Actually, without Rodman's rebounds today, Ewing only played 24 minutes. He was not tough enough on the defensive end to support the Bulls' inside line. The chances are very small.
If it weren't for the Knicks feeling too cold in the second half, they made 51 of 16 shots and only 31% from the field. With the Knicks' rebounding and defense, they would have won by at least [-] points. "
"It can be said that a very important reason is that the Bulls lost today against the Knicks' two substitute insiders. Ben Wallace and Danny Fortson jointly grabbed 16 rebounds, and their combined playing time was 54. Minutes, this efficiency is very high." Matt said.
"The Knicks didn't play well from the outside. John Starks' performance this season was very unstable. In 26 minutes today, he made 9 of 2 shots and his performance was inaccurate. Alan Houston was defended by Jordan and made 15 of 3 shots. He just made [-]% of his shots. Rate, wasted too many outside shots." Bill Wharton said.
"It seems that this season, the Knicks' outside line is still weak, and they are strong inside. This is weird. They traded Ewing, but the inside line is stronger?"
Matt looked oddly authentic.
"The Knicks are only strong in defense and rebounding inside, and their offensive ability is very poor, which is not as good as last season. The biggest problem with the outside offense is instability, which is a big weakness. Of course, today's poor outside is also because of the Bulls. The perimeter defense is too strong, and Jordan and Kidd's defense is not vegetarian. How to put it, Rodman went down at the beginning of this game, otherwise the Bulls still have a chance to win, and their defensive strategy is right." Bill Walton laughed.
"Speaking of the Bulls' defense, they didn't double-team the Dragons today, but defended everyone else with all their strength. This should be the most important reason for the Knicks' outside misalignment," Matt said.
"It's like this. The Knicks can't get open outside. They shoot against the defenders. The shooting rate is definitely not high. If the Bulls played like this in the Eastern Conference Finals last time, it might be another result. But if the Knicks If the instability of the outside line is not resolved, and the Bulls have strengthened the inside line and rebounding, the next time they meet, it is likely to be another result." Bill Walton said.
At the scene, Zhao Dong accepted the post-match interview.
"Feilong, you scored a quadruple-double today, tell me how you feel?" Thomas, the team reporter, asked excitedly.
"It's an unparalleled enjoyment to be able to score a quadruple-double against Jordan and the Bulls, and still win." Zhao Dong smiled proudly.
"Michael will cut a quadruple-double on your head next time." A local reporter said very unhappily.
"He didn't hit a quadruple-double in his peak period, and he won't have a chance in the future. He will never hit a quadruple-double." Zhao Dong said disdainfully.
"That's because you beat him, otherwise he's in better shape today and can definitely beat you." The reporter said angrily.
"Heh, if he still dares to defend like that, he will fight the same next time." Zhao Dong said coldly.
"You? You thug." The reporter was speechless.
After hastily ending the on-site interview, Zhao Dong rushed back to the locker room.
