Chapter 235 The Heat paint area has become scorched earth

The Heat attacked and Xiao Chong held the ball.

"Kam Kamen..."

Billups provocatively said in front of him.

Xiao Chong didn't make a breakthrough this time, instead he made a fake shot and jumped up outside the three-point line.

"Snapped!"

With quick hands and quick eyes, Billups slapped down and knocked away the ball that Xiao Chong held up.

The on-site commentator immediately yelled: "Steal? Got it, Billups, come down quickly... the flying dragon is on the other wing, go down... pass the ball..."

Zhao Dong ran hard, passed Mashburn by one step, and then two steps. After crossing the three-point line, he received a cross pass from Billups. He entered the paint area from the right elbow area and flew up. Tomahawk split button for flat baskets.

"boom!"

Under the violence, the basket wailed.

"I really can't catch up!" Mashburn gasped.

Under the anti-isolation singles rule, for Zhao Dong's defense, that is, pulling, pulling, pinching, pulling, pushing, tripping, elbowing, etc., which are all enjoyed by Jordan.

However, you have to have a chance, if you can't catch up, how can you defend?

"The fast break is too powerful. At the small forward position, there is no way to catch up with Zhao Dong. As long as Zhao Dong stays on the three-point line and plays a fast break, how do you let others defend? I support the league to restart the anti-isolation singles rule , you don’t limit such a person, how can you beat him?”

In the live broadcast of CCTV, the excited Zhang Lili yelled a lot.

Heat attack.

This time, Xiao Chong passed the ball in and gave it to Mourning in the low post on the right wing.

Daben defended against Mourning alone, Oakley maintained his defense at all times, and Zhao Dong still did not shrink his defense.

Today, old Nelson formulated a defensive strategy based on Van Gundy and Thibodeau's suggestions, that is, Zhao Dong will not shrink his defense and always stay outside.

Among the Heat's two insiders, Luke Langley is average and a role player. However, with Mourning's offensive ability, Oakley and Ben's defense cannot be overwhelmed.

But Mourning can't beat the Knicks, and Zhao Dong on the outside can blast the Heat to nothing with his fast break alone.

"boom!"

Mourning swayed the big ben, but was affected by Oakley's defense, and the ball hit the basket.

Thanks to Tiger's ability to predict rebounds, Zhao Dong has turned around ahead of time.

Mashburn reached out and grabbed Zhao Dong's jersey, and he slapped it open, and then he couldn't keep up. This was the closest distance between him and Zhao Dong.

Big Ben turned around to protect the backcourt rebound, when Billups rushed in, he quickly passed it.

"Whoosh!"

Billups dodged Xiao Chong's interference and made a long pass, and the ball flew towards Zhao Dong who had already rushed into the frontcourt.

"boom!"

The Heat's basket was blown over again.

2:6, the Heat attacked, and Pat Riley called a timeout.

In the TNT live broadcast, Bill Walton shook his head and said: "The league restarted the anti-isolation singles rule and added Article 138. The purpose is to force the dragon back to the low position, but now, the old Nelson used fast breaks to avoid the rule against the dragon limits."

"Bill, what do you think the Heat are going to do now?" Matt asked.

Bill Walton said with a smile: "Defend from the source of the offense. In the transition between offense and defense, because the inside passing ability is not enough, the Knicks did not pass the dragon directly, but used Billups' transfer, which gave the Heat a chance. .

The Heat must delay the Knicks' fast pass at these two points, and they can curb the Knicks' fast break to a certain extent. "

On the Heat's bench, Pat Riley's cruel voice sounded: "Tim Hardaway, you let a rookie pass the ball in a row. Is this your defense?"

"Not next time, sir." Xiao Chong quickly replied.

"Luke Longley, Alonzo Mourning, watch your people, I don't want to see Ben Wallace and Oakley take the ball easily, make good use of your defensive height, they are shorter than you, understand?"

Lowering the volume, Pat Riley growled sternly.

"Understood, coach." The two nodded while wiping off their sweat.

"I want you guys to do everything you can to cut off their passes and stop them from running the break. We have to push Dragon back down low and use the rules to limit him, understand?"

"Jamal Mashburn, you didn't do anything today, you know? You are our striker, you have to move ahead of time to keep up with his rhythm, understand? You can use many methods to actively seek strong confrontation, especially the ball. When he's in his hands and he's above the free-throw line."

"I have rehearsed countless tactics, why can't I execute them when I play? Are your brains thrown in the cesspit?"

Pat Riley continued to rant.

"The Heat are likely to adopt a defensive strategy of cutting off the passing line, so that our fast break tactics will be affected, then we will immediately change to a positional battle, and the flying dragon will control the ball..."

In front of the Knicks bench, Nelson Sr. is arranging new offensive tactics.

Next to the bench, general manager Neil Grant and Van Gundy were talking.

"Jeff, Tang's coaching style has changed a lot!" Grant sighed.

"Yes, the playoffs are no different than the regular season, and the defensive pressure is very high, so the offensive tactics we set are mainly based on positional warfare, which is also the request of the dragon." Van Gundy said.

In the 95/96 season, Pat Riley left and Nelson Sr. took over the Knicks, but his small ball style made the team's mainstay Ewing very disgusted and refused to cooperate, so that Nelson Sr. even wanted to trade Ewing.

The major conflict between the head coach and the players led to a mutiny in the locker room. Ewing counterattacked and led the players to force the palace management. In the end, he chose to fire Nelson to appease the anger in the locker room.

And this season to welcome old Nelson back again, he is actually very worried that this old coach will have conflicts with Zhao Dong, who has a stronger temper.

But the result is very good. The old Nelson's tactical style has changed. He no longer blindly pursues the small ball style, but the combination of small ball fast break and traditional positional warfare, which perfectly fits Zhao Dong. This is what he likes most. seen.

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

Xiao Chong broke through to attract the defense and gave it to Mourning. Mourning singled out the big Ben and hit a goal.

This is Big Ben's weakness. Even in his peak period, his single defense ability is not enough. After all, his height is there, and his defensive height is limited. This is a common problem of short insiders.

"Defend it, stick it up, limit their passes."

In transition, Pat Riley yelled from the sidelines.

Everyone in the Heat stepped up their defense, Da Ben didn't make a quick move, and the fast break opportunity disappeared.

Entering the frontcourt, Zhao Dong wanted to pass the ball and went beyond the three-point line on the left wing, and Mashben defended alone.

At the same time, because of the first restriction of the anti-isolation singles rule, other Knicks players cannot be concentrated on the weak side. At least one player must stay on the strong side with Zhao Dong, and this person is Oakley.

In this way, the Heat's power forward Alonzo Mourning is also on the left wing.

However, in order to increase the distance between Mourning and Zhao Dong, Oakley did not come up and waited in the low position. This made it more difficult for Mourning to help defend and double-team Zhao Dong.

But there are advantages and disadvantages, because there are Daben and Oakley in the low post, when Zhao Dong holds the ball above the free throw line and its dotted line, limited by the second rule, the other two Knicks players cannot sink , have to stay on it, this is the first drawback.

Both Big Ben and Oakley have no low-post offense in the low post, which is the second drawback.

When Oakley doesn't come up, he stays in the low post. The Heat's response is to immediately strengthen the defense to prevent Alan Houston and Billups from running out of space.

The result of this reaction is to force Zhao Dong to play by himself, force a shot in a double-team, or pass to the low post to play for Da Ben and Oakley who have no low-post offensive ability.

So what is the Knicks' tactical countermeasure?
When Zhao Donggang received the ball, Mashben had already posted it, actively seeking a strong confrontation.

This is because Article 138 of the Flying Dragon Law, above the free throw line and its imaginary line, faces single defense, restricting Zhao Dong from hitting people when he breaks through with the ball, so he took the initiative to strengthen the confrontation and increase the possibility of Zhao Dong's foul.

His confrontation ability is also very strong, 203 centimeters, 110 kilograms, the quality is very good, he is not afraid of confrontation.

But as soon as he put it on, when his left elbow pointed towards Zhao Dong, Zhao Dong suddenly took a step back after dribbling the ball, avoiding his movement, and he couldn't help but pause.

"boom……"

At this moment, Zhao Dong started again, stepped forward with his left foot very quickly, and dribbled the ball from his left side.

He stretched out his left arm, took advantage of the situation, and punched Zhao Dong in the stomach, but he still couldn't stop the latter's strong step.

"So fast!"

Bill Walton exclaimed.

As Zhao Dong entered the flank and crossed the dotted line of the free throw line, the second limitation of the anti-isolation singles rule was broken.

The second restriction is that no more than two players can sink when the ball handler is high above the free throw line and its imaginary line.

At this time, Alan Houston quickly started, throwing off the defender and cutting inside to the basket.

Zhao Dong passed the ball, and Alan Houston caught the ball and went into the paint.

Although there was Luke Langley under the basket, he was restrained by Big Ben, and Mourning could only choose to return to the basket immediately.

Behind him, Zhao Dong, who just passed the ball, rushed into the paint area.

Alan Houston drove to the basket with the ball, and after attracting double-teams, he immediately passed the ball and made a direct pass. The ball passed from Mourning's feet to behind him.

"Flying dragon?"

Mourning was startled, and hurriedly turned back to defend.

"not good!"

As soon as he turned around, he found that his entire field of vision was covered by Zhao Dong's figure.

Zhao Dong received the ball, strode towards the basket, and flew up against Mourning who was in the reasonable collision zone.

"Oh!"

There was a dull impact sound, and as soon as Mourning turned around, he was knocked over by the terrifying impact. He didn't even have a chance to jump, and directly hit Luke Langley behind him, and the two fell to the basket together.

"boom!"

In the next moment, a strong explosion of baskets resounded throughout Madison Square Garden.

"yeah!"

At the referee's whistle, all the Knicks fans cheered.

"Oh, the flat-basket buckle from Iron Man. Feilong used the most brutal flat-basket buckle to overturn the iron man Alonzo Mourning. He made Mourning miserable..."

The excited roar of the on-site commentator sounded like rolling thunder.

"Hoho..."

Mourning got up in embarrassment, his whole chest ached from the collision just now, and he felt as if he had been run over by a tank.

"damn it!"

Cursing, he turned and pulled Luke Langley up.

"Don't block my way, or destruction is waiting for you ahead." Zhao Dong spat a trash talk at the two, and then walked to the free throw line.

"This bastard!"

Staring at Zhao Dong's back, Mourning gritted his teeth and cursed.

"Beautiful offensive coordination, through continuous passing, tore through the Heat's defense and double-teams. This is an offense that the Knicks did not have last season." Bill Walton laughed.

"That's what old Nelson is good at." Matt laughed.

In the live broadcast of CCTV, Zhang Lili said with a smile: "To be a strong forward, you must be like Feilong, who can shoot, attack, and attack the inside line.

Definitely not like Postman Malone, who can only shoot outside jumpers.No matter how accurate the CIC is, it has no lethality or deterrent effect.

Look at Zhao Dong's fight like this, the Heat's inside line is down, and the next offense returns to defense, how do they defend?Do you still dare to prevent it?You can't defend, you hide in the basket, and the Knicks can shoot you. "

Zhao Dongjia made a free throw, 4:9, and the Heat attacked.

Left wing, Mashburn runs.

He is one of the best small forwards today, with excellent offense and defense. Pat Riley gave up the potential McGrady for him.

He moved down first, and when Zhao Dong followed, he ran back suddenly, got the open space to catch the ball, and received the pass from Xiao Chong.

But as soon as he got the ball, his space was gone, Zhao Dong came back in front of him and stuck directly to his body, he immediately took a step back, Zhao Dong continued to press, forcing him to turn around to protect the ball, by The face basket became the back basket.

Backing the basket means losing the observation of the low position. At this time, Oakley came up from the low position and double-teamed.

"Snapped!"

When Marshall evaded Oakley, Zhao Dong knocked off his ball and completed the steal.

"Get back on defense!"

Pat Riley's growl sounded.

The Heat quickly returned to the defense, and Alan Houston and Billups were both restricted. Zhao Dong wanted to hold the ball and go down quickly, but was blocked by Mashburn with a nearly foul pulling action.

In the playoffs, especially in the rivalry between the Knicks and the Heat, the referee's standard of whistle is that you don't need to move your fists, and if you dare to move your fists, you will be blown.

In the positional battle, Zhao Dong held the ball and advanced beyond the three-point line on the right wing of the frontcourt, and Mashburn posted it.

"boom!"

At this moment, while the opponent was not close to the body, he dribbled the ball under the crotch. He suddenly transferred the ball to the left, controlled the ball with his left hand, and stepped out with his right foot to the left at the same time, making a breakthrough from the left.

Mashben subconsciously moved towards Zhao Dong's breakthrough direction, but at the next moment, Zhao Dong dribbled the ball again, pulled the ball back to the right side, retracted his right foot, and then stepped to the right, breaking through from the right side. Mashburn, into the flank.

Mashburn hastily turned around to pursue him, and had lost two steps.

"Test step breakthrough!"

Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.

The right wing is low, Mourning lost Oakley, and hurried up to defend.

Zhao Dong changed direction upwards, bypassed Mourning and entered the paint area, changed direction again downwards, pulled the ball up while pounced on the basket, raised the ball high with his left hand, and flew up after one step.

Mourning, who returned to the basket, jumped up and slapped the basketball from the wing.

At this moment, Zhao Dong, who was gliding forward, suddenly withdrew his left hand, dodging Mourning's block.

The next moment, Luke Langley took off in a reasonable collision zone to block the shot.

"Oh!"

The two collided instantly.

"boom!"

Amid the strong sound of exploding baskets, Luke Langley was directly knocked over, landed unsteadily, took two big steps back, and directly hit the photography booth behind the bottom line, and the whole area was turned upside down immediately.

"Di!"

The referee blew his whistle and pointed at Luke Langley. The thug fouled and an extra penalty was given.

"Oh, beautiful! The Dragon is like a bomber. Under his bombing, the Heat's paint area has been scorched."

The live commentator roared loudly.

"Zhao Dong continued to change direction and break through, blowing up all the defense lines of the Heat with his own power, and also caused another foul inside the Heat, full of lethality!"

Zhang Lili roared excitedly.

"Zhao Dong is now 5 of 5 shots, all of which are dunks hitting the basket. Today he played extremely violently!" Sun Zhenping shouted excitedly.

Lu Ke Langli got up with a pale face, and the muscles in his lower back were twitching constantly, which was telling him that if such a collision happened again, he wouldn't have to fight again.

Zhao Dong made another free throw. At 4:12, the Heat attacked and called a timeout.

Back from the timeout, the Heat scored a goal from Xiao Chong. At 6:11, the Knicks attacked.

Zhao Dong held the ball outside the three-point line on the left wing. Mourning below put Oakley two meters away, just two steps below Zhao Dong. As long as he rushed in, he would face supplementary defense and then double-team.

At the same time, Xiao Chong at the top of the arc also placed a distance of two meters from Billups, maintaining the posture of double-teaming Zhao Dong at any time.

In the TNT live broadcast seat, Bill Wharton said: "Because the flying dragon showed a powerful and unparalleled impact, one person blew up all the defense lines of the Heat, Pat Riley adjusted his defensive strategy, and now it should be double-teaming the flying dragon, and It's double-teaming."

Matt said: "The previous defensive tactics were single-handedly defending against flying dragons, adding a certain supplementary defense, and then defending against other people, but this kind of defense with layers of sniping and refueling really couldn't stop Feilong's attack. His The impact is too strong, not even those smaller defenders can compare."

"The two core principles of Jordan's Law are multiple teams defending Jordan, or defending Jordan alone and then defending his teammates. Now it seems that these two methods are not effective enough for the Dragons." Bill Wharton said .

"In the past few minutes of the game, the Flying Dragon was single-handedly defended. The Flying Dragon's response was to directly hit the basket and cause damage. His offensive power and lethality are even stronger than Jordan's. The enhanced version of Jordan, how do you defend against it? ? If you defend against him alone, you can't defend at all, and the inside line is directly blown up, so you have to think differently." Matt analyzed.

Mashburn once again sought an active and strong confrontation, trying to make Zhao Dong violate the rules, but the latter turned around and jumped at him.

But just as Zhao Dong took a step into the flank, Mourning's supplementary defense came up, and at the same time Xiao Chong also rushed to his side, followed by Mashben who also chased up, and the three formed a double team.

This is the complete Jordan law. The offensive side cannot perform isolated singles, and will face faster double-teaming.

Old Nelson had already made a tactical response. Under such circumstances, Zhao Dong could forcefully fight alone. He had this ability.

If he plays alone, then Oakley and Big Ben will go to the basket to grab offensive rebounds, which is one of the Knicks' strengths.

Sufficient offensive rebounds allow Zhao Dong to shoot unscrupulously, not afraid of missing shots, anyway, there is a guarantee for a second attack.

At the same time, the two outsiders must be prepared to return to the backcourt, because the offensive rebound may be lost.

Of course, there is another way to deal with it, which is to pass the ball, which is also one of the strengths of Zhao Dong and Nils.

But the Heat's double-teaming position is also particular, it happens to be on the dotted line of the free throw line, which is limited to the second rule of Jordan's rule, making it impossible for the Knicks to cut in from the outside line. If Zhao Dong wants to pass the ball, the outside line will be seen If you die, you can only pass it to Ben and Oakley, who are not capable enough in the low post.

How did Zhao Dong choose?

He got the ball together.

After merging the ball, you can no longer dribble, only pass or shoot.

In this way, the three Heat players who double-teamed immediately accelerated to complete the double-team, and six hands grabbed Zhao Dong.
