NBA Dynasty Sniper

Chapter 243
Zhang Lili said in admiration: "Ewing exploded tonight. He scored 8 points in the fourth quarter. The audience has already scored 27 points. Jordan only scored 34 points. He once again played the performance of a super center and helped Jordan share the burden. Scoring pressure.

However, he and Rodman did not block Zhao Dong's impact, which is why the Bulls fell behind.Zhao Dong accumulated two sessions of physical fitness, and this session broke out completely. "

"Is there something wrong with the Knicks' defense?" Sun Zhenping said.

"Yes, Ben Wallace on the inside couldn't defend Ewing, and was blown up. If the inside was blown out, the outside line couldn't double-team Jordan with all his strength. But the Bulls are really super strong, and it's not bad to be able to tie. Now let's see the end The difference is 6 points, that is, the distance between two three-pointers, and the ball is still in the hands of the Bulls, which is not much." Zhang Lili said.

In the ABC live broadcast, Hubie Brown said: "Ewing shared the scoring task. Jordan did not attack with all his strength in the last quarter and scored 9 points. At the last critical moment, he must take over the offense."

Cook said: "For the Knicks, the Dragons have scored 49 points and have more offense than Jordan.

There is no superstar like Ewing by his side, which also means that at critical moments, no one can stand up and score, and he can only rely on himself.

Under the restriction of the flying dragon law, Feilong broke out with all his strength, and he has begun to show that he is definitely not weaker than Jordan's scoring ability.

His efficiency is even higher than that of Jordan at his peak, because his impact on the inside is far stronger than Jordan. "

Hubie Brown laughed suddenly: "But today the Knicks actually used the Dragon to defend Jordan alone, which is a very big change.

It's just that, because of Ewing, Jordan didn't attack with all his strength in this situation. Did he waste the opportunity? "

Cook laughed a few times and said, "I think Jordan doesn't need to take so many shots given the opportunity of Ewing's explosion tonight. After all, Ewing's efficiency tonight is very high, not lower than Jordan.

This is a series, and if Ewing's oil runs out, it won't be too late for him to take over the offense.

The reason why they are behind now is that I think it is a problem on the defensive end. They cannot prevent the impact of Feilong on the basket, which makes his offensive efficiency too high, otherwise the Bulls cannot fall behind.

In fact, Feilong had such a violent style of play in the first quarter, rested for two quarters, and came again in the final quarter, his physical fitness is also limited. "

At this point the pause ends.

The Knicks replaced Fortson with veteran Oakley. On the outside, it was Alan Houston and John Starks.

The Bulls attacked, Kidd made a false shot, was brought down by John Starks, and the Bulls made a free throw.

"This foul is unnecessary, Kidd's free throw percentage is close to [-]%." Zhang Lili said.

Kidd just got married this year, and he has already started his air kiss free throw. The fans in the audience then enjoyed the love show between him and his wife. They first touched their buttocks, which should be to wipe the sweat from their hands, and then sent air kisses. Finally, swish With a bang, the first free throw was hit.

On the second free throw, Kidd made more careful preparations, and when he blew a kiss, it seemed that the basket was his wife.

"Damn it, Kidd must have never thought about it at this time. He will be domestically abused by his wife who is less than 1.6 meters in the future, right? Do you want to tell him?"

Thinking that Kidd would divorce his wife because of domestic violence in the future, Zhao Dong felt weird.

"Shh!"

Kidd hit the second free throw.

99:95, the Knicks attack.

Zhao Dong slowly advanced in the backcourt, and Jordan immediately started to press when he saw it.

He turned around and dribbled past others, bumped into Jordan by the way, completed a breakthrough, then immediately speeded up, and killed the frontcourt.

Jordan caught up and kept interfering with Zhao Dong, disrupting his rhythm and affecting his speed, and finally blocked Zhao Dong outside the left-wing three-point line.

"Old guy, can you still run like this?"

Looking at the panting Jordan, Zhao Dong joked.

"Boy, I'm five years younger, and I can beat you up." Jordan sprayed.

After speaking, he began to press close to him again.

The left wing was low, and Rodman began to move up, ready to double-team Zhao Dong at any time.

At the free throw line, McGrady is also ready to double-team at any time.

If there was no Article 138 of the Flying Dragon Law, Zhao Dong would definitely crush Jordan's breakthrough directly, but not now.

But he still has Grant Hill's first step, and Paul's drive with the ball.

The tentative step, he started.

Jordan immediately shifted his defense, and even caught up with Zhao Dong's first step at the critical moment.

Zhao Dong pushed too far in front of him and exhausted his physical energy, which made his first step a little slower.

Some sloppy first steps failed to get rid of Jordan, and the consequence was that in the next two steps, Jordan was always hanging on him.

At this time, McGrady and Rodman rushed over, two steps in place, forming a three-person double team.

At the critical moment, Zhao Dong's passing skills played a role. A ground-hitting pass passed the ball from Rodman's crotch to Ben Wallace in the low post.

"Good pass!"

Zhang Lili let out a loud shout.

Big Ben catches the ball and immediately dribbles to the basket.

Ewing quickly returned to the basket, and when Big Ben made a layup, he slapped the ball off the cap and grabbed the ball.

"Oh, at the critical moment, Ewing made a contribution." Hubie Brown shouted excitedly.

"Ben Wallace's offense is terrible." Cook laughed.

The Bulls counterattacked and played a fast break.

Zhao Dong followed, and Jordan rushed to the basket and suddenly pulled back to the left wing.

At this time, Kidd passed the ball, Jordan received the ball, and when Zhao Dong followed, he passed it to McGrady who was about to go down the middle.

McGrady catches the ball, goes to the free throw line, and flies towards the basket.

As soon as Zhao Dong saw it, he immediately returned to the basket, but he was already a step too late.

"boom!"

Tomahawk-style dunks, the rim whines.

"yeah!"

Maddie screamed excitedly.

"What are you calling!"

Zhao Dong stared.

Maddy's face changed, he closed his mouth, and immediately ran away with his head down.

"99:97, the Bulls chased for 4 points in a row." Cook said.

"The rookie McGrady played very aggressively on the fast break. The Knicks were slow to return to defense. Jordan's pass was very good, and the Dragons did not succeed in the first defense and second defense."

Hubie Brown laughed.

With 50 seconds left in the clock, the Knicks attacked.

Zhao Dong advanced to the frontcourt, and after a few seconds of delay in front of the center line, he approached the left-wing three-point line. When Jordan was about to come up to press, he suddenly started to accelerate, and changed direction in front of him. Cross the dotted line at the free throw line and head toward the paint.

"Teaming!"

Phil Jackson on the sidelines shouted.

Rodman in the low position and McGrady in the high position rushed up and down at the same time, and Ewing sat under the basket.

Seeing that his way was blocked, Zhao Dong was one step away from the sideline of the paint area, before Rodman and Tracy McGrady double-teamed, he made an emergency stop and threw the ball to the backboard with one hand.

"boom!"

The ball bounces off the board and the rim is hollow.

"yeah!"

The moment the ball went into the basket, the audience cheered endlessly.

"Zhao Dong still has to do it by himself. At the critical moment, attack by himself. This is the absolute core role." Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.

"101:97, the Knicks lead by 4 points. Now there are 32 seconds left, so be careful." Sun Zhenping said.

Bulls attack.

"ball!"

Ewing, who scored 27 points in the low position on the right wing, asked for the ball again.

Today, no matter whether it was Big Ben defending him, Fordson defending him, or his old buddy Oakley defending him, he was blown away by him. Both have obvious dislocation advantages.

Today, he seems to have regained his peak energy under the anger towards Knicks and Zhao Dong.

Jordan was on the right wing from the three-point line and also pulled Zhao Dong to the right wing.

Left wing, limited to the law, the Bulls have Tracy McGrady on the three-point line, defended by Alan Houston.

Under the basket, Oakley sat in charge, watching Rodman's situation, ready to double-team Ewing at any time.

At this time, McGrady ran up and took Alan Houston away to prevent him from double-teaming Ewing.

Then, Kidd passed the ball down.

Zhao Dong did not double-team Ewing. Ewing has height and his vision is very wide. Once he loses Jordan, Ewing will definitely pass the ball.

Sure enough, after Ewing received the ball, he looked at the weak side and saw that Jordan was not open, so he immediately started backing the big Ben, dribbled twice, and then suddenly got up and hooked.

Just as he leaned over and arched his back, Zhao Dong lost Jordan and began to return to the basket.

"boom!"

Missed the hook, and the basket hit the basket.

The ball was above the basket, and Oakley and Rodman jumped at the same time under the basket, and the ball was clicked.

Relying on his second take-off ability, Rodman took the lead to start again, ready to take the rebound into his arms.

But at this moment, Zhao Dong rushed in and took the rebound off Rodman's head.

"what!"

When Zhao Dong landed, Rodman covered his face and screamed, and fell at the former's feet.

"Di!"

Hearing that shrill scream, the referee's whistle sounded.

"Shh!"

Countless Knicks fans sent out huge boos. They knew Rodman too well and knew that this big bug would make crooked moves at critical moments.

"Has Zhao Dong made a foul? He didn't show his elbow. This is a crooked move." Zhang Lili exclaimed.

"Didn't you see him?" Sun Zhenping said.

On the field, the referee ran over.

Zhao Dongdao: "Sir, my ball has been held up all the time, he wants to lie to your whistle."

"what!"

When Rodman heard this, he covered his face and screamed even worse.

"Number 46, I'll take care of it."

The referee was not blind either, and had been staring at the basket. At this moment, he hooked his finger at Rodman and said, "Get up, number 91, or I'll give you a T."

Rodman had no choice but to get up.

The referee compared his hands and gave Da Chong a T.

When Jordan saw it, he shook his head in disappointment.

This is the home court of the Knicks, and Zhao Dong is also a highly praised person in the league. His status and influence in the league far surpass Rodman. The referee's penalty does not surprise him, but he is still a little disappointed.

Zhang Lili saw this and analyzed: "This time should be a card point that determines the outcome. If the big bug cheats the foul, there is still a chance to win. But it didn't succeed, and there is not enough time left. This game should It can be said that it is a foregone conclusion."

Before the free throw, the Knicks called a timeout and replaced Big Ben with Fortson.

Fortson has a certain mid-range shooting ability, with a free throw percentage of 77.7%, and he must prevent being chopped at the last minute.

Zhao Dong made a technical free throw, 102:97, the Knicks attacked with 18 seconds left.

"The Bulls are running out of chance." Cook shook his head.

"Foul tactics should be adopted." Hubie Brown said.

Sure enough, the Bulls adopted foul tactics.

But it was Zhao Dong who caught the ball, and then he made two free throws and led by 7 points.

The Bulls attacked, Jordan missed a three-pointer on Zhao Dong's head, Fordson grabbed a rebound and fouled, sending Rodman to the free throw line.

"Fortson only played 26 minutes today. This is the fifth foul. He still committed a lot of fouls and wasted a few possessions. Fortunately, the Knicks have enough rotation inside, otherwise..." Zhang Lili said.

"Fouls at critical moments are sometimes fatal," said Sun Zhenping.

Rodman made 55% of his free throws, comparable to Ben, and lower than O'Neal. He missed two free throws, and the Knicks attacked. With five seconds left, Zhao Dong held the ball until the end of the game.

At the last moment, Phil Jackson was shaking his head on the sidelines.

The score was only two points short of catching up, but the final tactics were not able to be played out.

Rodman failed to grab rebounds, failed to cheat fouls, and failed to slash people. In the end, Rodman missed two free throws and his own offense failed.

He felt it was a pity to lose the G1 game like this.

Throughout the entire game tonight, the Bulls actually played quite well. Jordan and Ewing both played their strengths, and the others played well, with a higher overall efficiency than the Knicks.

The Knicks, on the other hand, did not attack on the inside. Except for Zhao Dong, the others were not as effective on the outside. The offense was actually not as good as the Bulls. Thanks to Zhao Dong's high efficiency, inside defense, and rebounds, the score was stalemate.

But if he loses, he loses, and his unwillingness can only be buried in his heart.

In the ABC live broadcast seat, Hubie Brown was summing up after the game. He said: "In this game, the overall shooting percentage of the Bulls was 47%, while that of the Knicks was 46%. , while the Knicks' outside offense accounted for 45%, and their shooting percentage was 44%.

The number of shots, the Bulls 75 times, the Knicks 76 times.Assists, Bulls 24 times, Knicks 20 times.Rebounds, Bulls 34, Knicks 47.Turnovers, Bulls 7 times, Knicks 13 times.Fouls, Bulls 23 times, Knicks 30 times.

From the analysis of these data, the strength of the two teams is almost the same, so the victory and defeat were dragged to the end.

Although the Knicks had an advantage in rebounding, they made too many turnovers, made too many fouls, and lost a lot of possessions.

Although the Bulls have two strong points, Ewing and Jordan's offensive efficiency is lower than that of the Dragon.

Feilong performed violently tonight and continued to attack the basket, which strengthened the impact on the Bulls' inside line, forcing the Bulls' inside line to dare not take it hard, which directly caused his super high shooting rate.

In the case of low outside efficiency, it was his high efficiency that carried the team to victory in the G1 game. "

Cook said: "Tonight, the Dragon scored 52 points, which broke his record of 51 points in the playoffs set in the finals last season.

26投19中，命中率73%，三分球2投1中，13罚13中，轰下52分12篮板14助攻3抢断5盖帽3失误4犯规的数据。

Of his 26 shots, 19 of them went directly to the rim, and he hit 16 of them, which is why he can hit 73% of his shots.

His powerful impact was not restricted by the dragon law, which is the most important reason why the Knicks can hold the score. "

At the scene, Zhao Dong was interviewed.

"Feilong, when the two teams are close in strength and the score continues to be stalemate, what do you think is the reason for the Knicks to win the G1 game."

asked the New York Times reporter.

"At the last moment, we played better, so the victory belongs to us." Zhao Dong replied.

"What made you play better at the last moment?" the reporter asked.

Zhao Dong said: "We are young and have a physical advantage. Being young has cost us the price of making too many mistakes and fouls, but as long as the game is stalemate to the end, physical fitness is our huge advantage.

Another thing is that the Bulls have the advantages of the Bulls, and we have our own advantages. Our victory in G1 was not a fluke, but a result of our strength. "

"Tonight, your outside teammates didn't perform well. They didn't hit [-]% of their shots, and they didn't attack inside. Are you satisfied with your teammates' performance?"

asked a Chicago Athletic reporter.

Zhao Dong said with a smile: "We also performed well on the outside. For example, Hu Weidong, his shooting percentage was above 18%, and he scored [-] points, right? It is understandable that the state of other outside teammates fluctuated. I believe that in the next series, they will get better. As for the inside, they contributed defense and rebounds, and I am very satisfied with them."

After the game was over, Zhao Dong participated in the post-match press conference after taking a shower.

"Flying Dragon, Jordan scored 34 points and shot 51% from the field. What do you think of his performance?" A reporter from the New York Sports News asked.

"As an outside line, the efficiency is quite high."

Zhao Dong commented, and then said: "Here, I would like to praise our insiders. Although they were blown up by Ewing, they performed well when defending against the impact of the Bulls' outside line. They were not blown up. To a certain extent, the offensive efficiency of the Bulls' outside line is limited.

I can't imagine how the Bulls can play as efficiently as me outside, what kind of loss will we lose?Maybe we lose thirty points, or fifty points? "

"Damn it, are you praising us? Are you praising yourself?" Oakley scolded with a smile.

At this time, at the Bulls' post-game press conference, Phil Jackson was being attacked by the media.

A reporter from the Chicago Sports News asked: "Coach Jackson, we failed once in the Eastern Conference finals last year. Now we have two strong points inside and outside, but we lost the G1 game again. Can you give a reasonable loss? Is it because of the ball?"

Phil Jackson said with a serious expression: "Actually, we have a chance to win tonight, and we always have. We have advantages in many places.

Our offense is more balanced, and our players are more mature. Even when rebounding is at a huge disadvantage, we still get almost equal shots. We are successful in many places.

The reason for the failure is that we did not do well enough at the last minute, and we made mistakes in several links. "

"How are you going to solve these problems?" the reporter asked.

"There are some issues I can't fix, like physical issues. Ewing and Rodman are both veterans. At the end of the day, they are at a disadvantage in the competition. There is no way to solve it. We may be able to strengthen the rotation, but the Knicks are too strong , Our substitute lineup is not an opponent at all, and the main players must play longer." Phil Jackson said.

"Do you consider that we will lose the Eastern Conference Finals again? If you lose the Eastern Conference Finals again, will you consider resigning?" The reporter asked again.

This question made Phil Jackson extremely embarrassed.

Jordan stood up, grabbed the microphone in front of the head coach, and said, "Phil led us to a dynasty, and I don't think he should be questioned like this by you.

There are objective reasons for the team to lose. Our lineup is indeed too old. This is a problem that the coach cannot solve. You should ask the management. The lineup was formed by them. "

The general manager Jerry Krause was standing next to him, and he couldn't help sighing when he heard what Jordan said.

After all, Jordan still sided with Phil Jackson and chose to kick the pressure and problems to him. The relationship between the two did not really ease.

He believes that if things go wrong in the upcoming series, there will be a strong conflict between him and Jordan.

At this time, he was extremely regretful. At the beginning, he did not resist the pressure of Jordan and the boss, and gave up signing Zhao Dong.

In fact, even if Jordan objected, he still had a chance to sign it, because Jordan was targeting him, not Zhao Dong.

It's just that in the end, under pressure, he didn't want to completely turn against Jordan, so he finally gave up by himself.

Zhao Dong has one obvious difference from Jordan, that is, he does not have such a strong desire to control, and he never interferes with the actions of the management.

Such a big-name star is the management's favorite, and he is also his favorite.

And since this season, Zhao Dong's scoring ability has surpassed that of Jordan, whose state has begun to decline. Coupled with his top offensive and defensive all-round ability, in the next few seasons at the end of the century, and the [-]s of the new century, he believes that It will be Zhao Dong's era, Jordan's era, he thinks it has passed, and now the Bulls he built are just lingering.

Even if the Bulls win the championship this year, he believes that this team will collapse, because Ewing and Rodman are already dead.

He has already made up his mind that no matter whether he wins the championship or not, he will dismantle this team and exchange some bargaining chips when Ewing and Rodman are still worth trading.

As for Phil Jackson, he has also made up his mind and must get rid of it.

The next day, the media made comments on last night's Eastern Conference Finals G1 game.

Los Angeles Times: "The reason why the Super Bulls lost to the Knicks was not the rebounding, but the failure to defend the Dragons.

Even if Jordan personally defends the dragon, it can't limit the performance of the dragon.Feilong broke through Jordan again and again and began to attack the Bulls inside. Jordan couldn't prevent Feilong's terrifying first step at all, and he was smashed into scum by Feilong. "

The report of the Los Angeles Times has been recognized by many media and fans.

Indeed, countless people watched Zhao Dong force Jordan with his first step again and again. Jordan's defensive failure is a fact.

Washington Post: "With a triple-double of 50+, the dragon's performance far surpassed that of Jordan. Although it was only a small victory, the Knicks' victory is a matter of course."

The New York Times: "Do you think the Knicks' victory was a fluke? No, of course not. It's a given.

If the Knicks are behind, I believe that Feilong will increase the number of times he hits the basket. This is why the Bulls can hold the score, because Feilong has been staying strong. The energy, the game has always been in his hands. "

In addition to these, the New York media also ridiculed Rodman.

"The big bug cheated and fouled on the dragon, which is absolutely self-defeating. He thought that his crooked moves could deal with the dragon, and thought that he and the dragon were the same level of super giants, just like Reggie Miller thought he was the same as Jordan. Same grade, unfortunately not." New York Athletic.

This report not only made Rodman very angry, but Reggie Miller who was involved was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
