NBA Dynasty Sniper

Chapter 241 Attack and Defense Showdown in the Air
"In the first round of the contest, Jordan had the upper hand." Cook laughed at the ABC live broadcast.

"Flying Dragon's turnaround jumper just now, the opportunity came out. The double-teaming of Jordan and McGrady did not limit his shot, but he missed it." Hubie Brown laughed.

At this time, the Knicks advanced the ball to the frontcourt.

Jordan followed Zhao Dong to the three-point line, and was about to post it, but Zhao Dong didn't stop, but continued to go to the low post. He couldn't help being stunned, and immediately signaled to switch defenses.

He certainly can't guard Zhao Dong in the low post. As soon as he passes the free throw line and its dotted line, Zhao Dong can use his tonnage and strength advantages.

In this way, Oakley pulled out, Zhao Dong entered the low position, and the two switched positions.

At the same time, Jordan faced Oakley and Ewing faced Zhao Dong.

"Jason, watch that rookie closely." Jordan shouted at Kidd.

He can be sure that it is very difficult for Ewing to defend Zhao Dong alone. He can't keep up with his feet alone. The defense must start from the passing point.

Zhao Dong came to the low position on the left wing and kept moving while paying attention to Billups' situation.

Kidd's defense is very strong. He is afraid that the rookie's ball will not come in, so he must actively cooperate on his side. When Billups has a chance to play the ball, his side must also have room to receive the ball.

At this time, he saw Billups suddenly move to the left, and he immediately retreated, attracting Ewing to follow.

But just when Ewing took a step forward, he suddenly paused, stepped out, and rushed from Ewing to the paint area.

The next moment, Billups just got the space for the ball. Seeing Zhao Dong cut to the basket, he immediately passed the ball.

"Chance!"

Zhang Lili shouted loudly at this moment.

"Snapped!"

Zhao Dong rushed into the paint, caught the ball, and flew to the basket after a step.

Under the basket, Rodman, who had suffered a lot from Zhao Dong before, didn't have any idea of ​​a hard top, and immediately dodged down, leaving the reasonable collision zone.

"boom!"

There was a strong sound of frying baskets.

"yeah!"

The whole audience burst into cheers.

"Beautiful! The flying dragon threw off the gorilla, and the basket was blown up successfully!" the on-site commentator shouted loudly.

Bulls attack.

Kidd made a tactical gesture to signal his teammates to move.

Except for Rodman who was still active in the paint area, everyone else pulled away, including Ewing.

"Oh! Dragon found Jordan?" cried Hubie Brown, startled.

"He has the confidence to guard against Jordan?" Cook was equally surprised.

"Who gave you confidence?"

Jordan spouts trash talk as he moves.

"I have confidence in your winning percentage." Zhao Dong immediately responded.

"..."

Jordan feels that spamming is not a good thing, and he can't spam the other party.

After running for five seconds, Jordan was surprised to find that he failed to get rid of Zhao Dong.

The opponent is taller than him, and the tonnage is more than ten kilograms larger than him, how can he keep up with him?

"Ah, Zhao Dong caught up and was not left behind by Jordan!" Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.

But at this time, Jordan ran back and went up.

Zhao Dong turned around to chase, and collided with Rodman.

It turned out that the Bulls arranged pick-and-roll tactics for Jordan.

Jordan got the vacancy, and Kidd, who is best at finding the vacancy of his teammates, passed the ball over immediately.

"Shh!"

Jordan made an open jumper and hit another goal.

"Unfortunately, a shot without a soul." After succeeding, he immediately spat trash talk at Zhao Dong and Oak.

This time it was Oakley who was facing off against Rodman. He switched defenses a little slower, and he was very angry when he heard the trash talk.

"Change defense in time!"

Van Gundy, who was in charge of defense, roared loudly from the sidelines.

"It's okay, let's fight one." Zhao Dong shouted to Oakley.

Coming to the frontcourt, Zhao Dong entered the low position on the left wing and advanced to the basket. After Ewing caught up, he suddenly pulled out, and Ewing couldn't keep up.

This time, Billups passed the ball in a timely manner. As soon as Zhao Dong reached the left line of the paint area, his ball came down.

When Zhao Dong received the ball, Ewing defended him. At the same time, McGrady and Jordan jumped down at the same time, starting a three-person double-team.

But he took off immediately after receiving the ball and threw it with one hand.

"boom!"

The basketball flew over Ewing's head, hit the board and hit a goal.

Siping, the Bulls attack.

"Jordan, three people double-team, does my shot have a soul?" After Zhao Dong succeeded, he also sprayed trash talk.

"..."

Jordan hummed in anger, how could he answer this?

Back on the defensive end, Zhao Dong followed Jordan again.

This time, Zhao Dong took a personal approach, bullying Jordan with tonnage and strength, constantly squeezing the opponent's center of gravity, thereby affecting the opponent's movement and achieving the purpose of defense.

The Knicks' defense against Jordan today is a single defense.

This is because there is Ewing in the low post, and the damage of double-teaming Jordan is too great.

While Zhao Dong was pestering Jordan, Ewing got Kidd's pass and hit a hook on Ben's head.

When Zhao Dong saw it, he immediately turned around and ran away.

"Fast!"

Second assistant coach Thibodeau roared from the sidelines.

Billups came down to catch the ball, Kidd ran to the front to interfere, and Ewing was also interfering in front of Da Ben. At this time, Da Ben passed the ball through two people, and something went wrong.

Daben's passing ability is not good enough, long pass is not good, short pass is okay, but if the short pass is passed through a person, the possibility of making a mistake is very high, and this time he made a mistake.

"Oh, Big Ben made a mistake in passing the ball, and Kidd stole the ball in the backcourt!" The on-site commentator shouted.

Immediately after stealing the ball, Kidd dribbles to the basket in the low post on the left wing for a layup.

8:4, the Bulls lead away, and the Knicks attack.

After serving, Nelson called a timeout.

"Ben Wallace's passing has always been a problem. He is not high enough. He avoided Ewing and failed to avoid Kidd. In the crucial Eastern Conference finals, I think the Knicks should play less of the old Nelson's small ball and reduce this baseline serve. Fast attack." Zhang Li shook his head and said.

"Billups is also a rookie, and he is still a little tender when facing Kidd." Sun Zhenping said.

Before the bench, Old Nelson said: "Next, pay attention, we only play fast breaks to grab rebounds from the backcourt..."

Back from the timeout, the game started, and the Knicks served in the frontcourt.

Zhao Dong received the ball from outside the three-point line on the right wing, and Jordan single-handedly defended with a half-step, not close to the body.

Oakley took a step to the right-wing three-point line, near the short corner of the baseline, and Rodman followed up.

"squeak!"

The strength of the lower limbs exploded, and amidst the sharp friction of the sneakers, Zhao Dong forced Jordan one step at a time.

Rodman immediately lost Oakley and came to cover the defense.

At this moment, Zhao Dong passed the ball to Oakley, and then he bypassed Rodman and rushed to the basket.

Rodman also went in with Zhao Dong, and Jordan switched to Oakley.

Oakley caught the ball and made a jump shot.

"boom!"

The jump shot was missed, the basketball bounced back, and was caught by Zhao Dong, who rushed in. After landing, he took a step forward and flew up to Ewing at the basket with all his strength.

Ewing wanted to get out of the basket, but it was too late. In order to avoid blocking the foul, he had to take off forcibly to defend.

But his knee was seriously injured, and his jump height was only a little over one foot, while Zhao Dong was running and jumping, at least fifty centimeters taller than him.

"damn it!"

At this moment, he panicked.

"Oh!"

In the sky above the reasonable collision zone, Zhao Dong's abdomen hit Ewing's head heavily. Under the powerful impact force, the latter was directly sunk, and he paused in the air. The ball swings and hits the basket.

"boom!"

Amid the violent explosion of the basket, Zhao Dong, who was hanging on the basket, split his legs and hit Ewing's head with his crotch. The latter fell down with a bang, and his back hit the floor heavily.

"yeah!"

Madison Square Garden went crazy in an instant.

"Oh, oh, it's really surprising that the flying dragon dunked the gorilla with a buckle!" the on-site commentator said in a somewhat complicated tone.

There were also some fans at the scene who were in mixed emotions. They were all Ewing fans. Seeing him being dunked by Zhao Dongqi, their eyes were a little hot.

"Patrick, are you all right?"

Seeing the old man being humiliated by Zhao Dong, Oakley was also in a complicated mood, and ran over to ask.

But he didn't stretch out his hand to pull Ewing up. In the NBA, teammates try their best to beat their opponents. If you try to pull your opponent, it is an act of traitor.

Ewing glanced at Oakley and got up silently.

"How?" Jordan asked worriedly.

"It's okay." Ewing panted.

His main injury is his leg. His style of play has always been based on jump shots. The low-post confrontation is not fierce, and there is no major back injury.

8:6, the Bulls attack.

This time Jordan did not play off the ball, but held the ball on the right-wing three-point line, and Zhao Dong defended alone.

In a tentative step, Jordan rushed to Zhao Dong, and Oakley immediately came up from the low position to defend.

At this time, McGrady on the weak side suddenly started and cut inside to the basket.

Double-teaming the upper body, Jordan passed the ball suddenly and gave it to McGrady who cut into the paint.

McGrady catches the ball and hits Ben at the basket with a flying dunk.

"boom!"

Daben didn't react fast enough after shifting defense, took off late, was dunked, and was almost knocked over.

"yeah!"

The dunk was successful, and the rookie McGrady threw his fist and roared excitedly.

"Just do it, rookie," Jordan encouraged.

"We have one more."

One was returned by the bull, Zhao Dong shouted unhappily.

10:6, the Knicks attack.

Back on the offensive end, Zhao Dong stopped on the outside, the left wing three-point line.

But when Jordan came over, he suddenly bypassed the opponent and rushed in.

In the low position, Oakley moved up at the same time, changed positions with Zhao Dong, and blocked Jordan at the same time, making a pick-and-roll for Zhao Dong.

Jordan and Rodman immediately switched defenses, and at this time, Billups passed the ball down.

Zhao Dong received the ball, changed direction, directly held the ball and knocked away Rodman, who was not strong enough in tonnage, entered the paint area, and flew towards Ewing again.

It's not that he wants to target Ewing, but because he must target Ewing, and try his best to use various methods to attack Ewing until he destroys this opponent.

Limited to the reasonable collision zone rules, Ewing can only take off to defend.

But he still jumped very low, far below Zhao Dong's jumping height.

Zhao Dong slammed down above, and he was too dominant under the collision, and easily slammed Ewing down again, and the latter was knocked over directly and hit the basket.

"boom!"

When the basket was blown, the audience cheered for it.

"Oh, another crazy dunk! The dragon dunked Ewing again. Tonight's dragon is too violent!"

The live commentator shouted excitedly.

Seeing Ewing being humiliated by Zhao Dong again, he was used to it.

On the sidelines, Phil Jackson shook his head and called a timeout.

It's not that there is a problem with the offensive tactics, but the defense. Ewing can't defend like this anymore. If this continues, injuries are inevitable. He doesn't think Ewing can last long, and it may be the next time.

"Patrick, let him attack the basket. His violent style of play, even if he is a physical monster, can't last long. We can just consume his physical energy."

After the players got off, he said to Ewing: "Your task is mainly to share Michael's offensive pressure, assist Rodman's defense, and then control the rebound, not to bear the impact of the flying dragon."

Ewing gasped and nodded. He just couldn't accept Zhao Dong, but he was humiliated twice in a row. Even if Phil Jackson didn't say anything, he didn't dare to stand up again.

On the Knicks side, the old Nelson asked Van Gundy to emphasize his tactics. Now he is behind, but it is not a problem with the offense, but the defense.

10:8, the timeout ends and the Bulls attack.

This time, Jordan moved without the ball, pulled the Knicks' defensive formation on a large scale, and frequently used pick-and-rolls to find open and misplaced opportunities.

He drew attention on the right wing, and Ewing in the low post on the left wing took the opportunity to drop Ben and cut to the basket, when Kidd passed the ball.

"Shh!"

Catch a layup and hit a shot.

"The Bulls played very well today, making full use of the mutual containment of the outside and inside, so that the Knicks couldn't double-team Ewing or Jordan, and the score was quite easy." Hubie Brown said.

"This is the best game the Bulls have played against the Knicks in two seasons." Cook laughed.

During the live broadcast of CCTV, Zhang Lili said: "Ben Wallace is still a little too tender. Half of his attention just now was on Jordan, and he ignored Ewing."

12:8, the Bulls attack.

Billups advanced with the ball in the backcourt, was forced by Kidd, and was in a hurry. At this time, Jordan saw the opportunity to double-team and made a mistake.

"Oh, Jordan steals the ball in the backcourt and counterattacks on the spot!" the on-site commentator exclaimed.

Jordan entered the paint with the ball. He heard footsteps approaching from behind. A strong sense of oppression came from behind. Only Zhao Dong could return to defense so quickly and put pressure on him.

Zhao Dong returned to the defense with all his strength, and finally caught up with Jordan at the next step below the free throw line. At this time, Jordan flew up, and he also flew up.

The aerial offensive and defensive duel between the two most influential basketball players in the world has attracted all the attention.

At this moment, the nerves of the audience and hundreds of millions of fans all over the world tensed up.

When Jordan flew up, he held the ball in his right hand, and Zhao Dong was also on his right back. At this time, he held the ball and sent it to the basket, attracting the latter's block.

But just as Zhao Dong blocked the shot, Jordan withdrew his right arm, dodged the former's block, then switched hands, held the ball in his left hand, and sent a shot to the rim as his body slid under the rim. .

Through rigorous training, he still has a strong core strength, which supports his air time and allows him to complete layups before landing.

The moment it landed, Jordan looked back, and he wanted to see the ball entering the basket with his own eyes.

"what?"

But at this moment, he was shocked because his opponent was still in the sky.

Zhao Dong's block was flashed, which was expected by him. The next moment, his waist and abdominal muscles were frantically pumped up, and his core strength of level 100 exploded, making his figure pause in the air.

At this time, Jordan made a layup for the second time.

"Snapped!"

While waving his hand, the moment Jordan landed, Zhao Dong's big hand went over the basket and slapped the ball on the backboard.

"yeah!"

All the Knicks fans got up from their seats frantically, raising their arms and shouting frantically.

"Damn it!" Jordan yelled angrily.

He has never been blocked for this kind of ball, and being blocked for a counterattack after a steal in the backcourt is very demoralizing.

"Pegboard cap! Pegboard cap! Flying Dragon capped Jordan's lever, he capped Jordan's lever, and he won the aerial duel..."

The on-site commentator roared crazily.

"The first aerial offensive and defensive duel, the flying dragon successfully defended!" Cook roared excitedly in the ABC live broadcast.

"Inconceivable ability to stay in the air! He is a big man, how could he have such a terrifying ability to stay in the air?"

Hubie Brown stared at the TV screen dumbfounded, muttering in his mouth.

At the CCTV live broadcast, Zhang Lili blushed with excitement, and shouted nonsense: "Look, there must be a pair of invisible wings on Zhao Dong's body, otherwise he wouldn't be able to fly for so long. Do you know how heavy he is? 115 kilograms, Jordan went down, and he was still flying in the sky, too exaggerated! Haha, Chinese people can fly too.”

When Zhao Dong grabbed the ball and came down, he was entangled by Jordan. The fast break failed and turned into a positional battle.

Kidd's defense cannot be underestimated, and Billups is not very reliable. This time he simply advanced with the ball and waved for everyone else to go to the frontcourt.

No one was double-teaming, and Jordan didn't take the risk of stealing, and he defended and retreated.

"God of Gamblers, does your layup have a soul this time?" Zhao Dong said trash talk while advancing.

"Fake!"

Jordan was so angry that smoke was coming out of his nose, and he swears directly.

After crossing the center line, Zhao Dong continued to go towards the left-wing three-point line. The speed was not fast. When he was close to the three-point line, he suddenly accelerated and changed direction, trying to charge Jordan.

But at the same time, Jordan made a personal move.

This time, the two had made an appointment, and their shoulders bumped into each other. Jordan was knocked down, and Zhao Dong lost control of the ball.

The referee was stunned for a moment, and wanted to blow the whistle with his mouth, but stopped again, and pointed at the Knicks' half court, signaling the game to continue.

Although Zhao Dong knocked down Jordan, the position was also above the free throw line and its imaginary line, but Jordan was moving and there was no cylinder, so the referee decided that the collision was normal.

When the referee signaled, Zhao Dong picked up the ball and drove it into the flank.

McGrady and Ewing, who was in the low position on the left wing, immediately double-teamed. Zhao Dong slowed down first, then accelerated again, stepped out, and forcibly broke the double-team from between the two, and entered the paint area.

"boom!"

Under the flying dunk, the audience was blowing wildly.

"This offense is so wonderful! Flying Dragon first forced Jordan, and then used the speed control to break through the double-team. His ability to break through with the ball is really strong! No wonder the league has to formulate 138 restrictions. His crushing outside drive."

Hubie Brown exclaimed.

"If you don't limit his crushing breakthrough, then his dislocation advantage on the outside is too great." Cook laughed.
