NBA Dynasty Sniper

Chapter 249 A Fool Can Be a Manager
"Snapped!"

The basketball jumped up, Zhao Dong and McGrady collided and fell to the basket at the same time,
"Oh!"

The intense scene made the audience exclaim in surprise.

Hubie Brown said excitedly: "It's beautiful, Feilong blocked the rookie McGrady from the basket, showing a strong ability to protect the basket..."

The ball didn't die, it was picked up by Oakley, and the Knicks attacked.

Coming to the frontcourt, Zhao Dong didn't ask for the ball, but entered the low post.

This time, the Bulls players and Phil Jackson frowned.

"Ha ha……"

Zhang Lili laughed twice and said, "Zhao Dong plays the low post. What should the Bulls do now? Rodman or Jordan to defend? Rodman has proved that he can't defend Zhao Dong in the low post. Jordan is a shooting guard, how can he defend Zhao Dong in the low post?"

On the court, Rodman followed Oakley on the right wing, and it was too late to switch defenses, so Jordan had to play against Zhao Dong in the low post.

"Xie Te, Feilong, it's too shameless for you to hit me like this!" Jordan was also very angry, and swears directly.

"Your grandfather can fight as much as you want, if you can't defend yourself, get out!" Zhao Dong scolded.

Then he began to ask for a position, asked for a position, and went straight to the basket. Jordan couldn't stand it at all, and was blocked behind by Zhao Dong's arm.

"boom!"

As soon as the ball came in, Zhao Dong turned around and dunked with one hand. Jordan took off to defend and was knocked directly to the basket.

"Is it fun?" Zhao Dong asked.

"roll!"

Qiao Dan climbed up panting, and gave Zhao Dong a hard look.

Old Nelson seemed very happy. This was his improved tactic. It was not a small-ball fast-break tactic, but a blurred position.

The most important thing is to use Zhao Dong, a superstar with a blurred position, to form a dislocation advantage on the outside and in the low post.

If the opponent double-teams Zhao Dong in the low post, facing a group of small players, Zhao Dong's vision will not be affected, and he can pass the ball to open players.

If the Bulls put on a big man, they will pull away completely just like before, and pull out the opponent's big man inside, which also has the advantage of dislocation in speed.

The key point of this tactic is that Zhao Dong can beat any superstar in the league in the low post, but he also has the speed of the outside line.

Phil Jackson's head began to sweat. He couldn't come up with a suitable way to deal with this tactic.

Even if Ewing is replaced, it won't work. As long as the Knicks pull out all of them, Ewing has to follow, and then what if the opponent cuts in?
Next, the [-] Bulls fans watched Zhao Dong beat Jordan or Rodman in the low post again and again, or watched him pass the ball to the open man again and again when double-teaming.

Although the Knicks injured two guards, their morale became stronger and stronger, while the morale of the Bulls gradually collapsed under Zhao Dong's crazy attack.

"The Knicks are on the rise, but no one in the Bulls can hold down the dragon. The Bulls lack a tyrannical iron-blooded insider. Ewing, who is injured, cannot bear this responsibility."

Hubie Brown shook his head.

In the third quarter, Ewing played.

The Knicks' tactic immediately turned into a small-to-big tactic, Ewing was forced to follow, and then the Knicks kept cutting inside to the basket, beating the Bulls in a panic.

No way, Phil Jackson let go of Childs and let Ewing sit on the basket.

But Childs immediately made a wall for Zhao Dong, and then Zhao Dong began to attack Ewing.

In the second minute of the third quarter, Zhao Dong used Charles' pick-and-roll to break through Jordan and enter the paint with the ball.

Facing Zhao Dong's impact, Ewing wanted to withdraw from the basket, but Zhao Dong's sudden deceleration disrupted his rhythm and made him stop at the basket.

The next moment, Zhao Dong started to accelerate and flew towards Ewing.

"boom!"

At the same time as the basket was blown, Ewing fell under Zhao Dong's feet in the strong impact, with a pained expression on his face, unable to get up.

"what!"

An angry Ewing let out a roar and slammed the floor weakly.

Oakley shook his head helplessly. He felt that Ewing was the one who found it by himself. His trading dragon didn't interfere at all, so why bother himself?
In the 8th minute of the third quarter, the Bulls' substitute insider Wennington committed 6 fouls and was beaten down by Zhao Dong. The Bulls had no more insiders to use, so they had to ask Jordan to defend against Zhao Dong.

But at this time, Zhao Dong immediately returned to the low post from the outside, using his powerful low post skills to beat the small with big players, blasting Jordan into a scumbag.

"boom!"

In the 2nd minute of the fourth quarter, Zhao Dong was double-teamed by Jordan and Rodman under the basket. He didn't pass the ball. He got up first, shook them for a while, and immediately got up and dunked them.

Although he is not a big shark, but with his strength and tonnage, coupled with his moving speed and low singles skills, Jordan and Rodman's double-teaming is useless to him and cannot prevent him at all.

Watching the monster-like Zhao Dong dunk the god-like Jordan to the basket again and again, all the Bulls fans were heartbroken to death, and many female fans and young fans burst into tears.

At this time the score was 85:65, and the Bulls were 20 points behind.

Jordan barely got up, panting like a cow.

Since the second quarter, this is the fifth time he was dunked by Zhao Dong and knocked under the basket.

In this game, he already felt that he had no chance of winning, but he still did not admit defeat, he had to fight until the last moment.

Even if what awaited him at the last moment was failure, he did not regret it.

"Dennis?"

Rodman couldn't get up at all. Jordan pulled it up, but he couldn't pull it up. Instead, he sat down on his own butt.

"Oh, I'm old, Michael's era has really passed!" Hubie Brown sighed in the ABC live broadcast.

"Unfortunately, in Michael's peak period, he didn't meet the flying dragon, otherwise the outcome would be unpredictable." Cook sighed.

In the live broadcast of CCTV, seeing Jordan playing so hard, Zhang Reasonable's eyes felt a little hot.

He studied abroad in Chicago, and the reason why he chose there is also because of where Jordan is.

During his study abroad, he cheered for Jordan's games countless times, and was saddened by Jordan's retirement. He is a standard Jordan fan. Now seeing Jordan being defeated by Zhao Dong is also very emotional.

The referee gave Jordan a thug foul, which was his fifth foul.

Before the free throw, Phil Jackson replaced Jordan and Rodman.

This substitution means that the Bulls gave up the game.

However, Jordan, who was off the court, did not agree with the substitution and quarreled with Phil Jackson.

"Let me go up, Phil, I'm going to kill that guy, I can't admit defeat, I can't lose to him."

"Michael, be rational! Dennis is injured, Ewing is injured, we have no chance for this game, we have to prepare for the next game now. If you act recklessly, we will lose the next game." Phil Jackson patiently persuaded road.

He didn't talk about tactical issues, so there's no way to talk about it, it's too damaging to morale.

He knew very well that even if Rodman and Ewing had no problems and they both played, they would not be able to win the game without solving the tactical problem. The Knicks' tactics were too targeted.

Not only is he having a headache, but the coaching staff of the Jazz and the Lakers are also having a headache now.

This tactic, which can be used against the Bulls, can also be used against them.

Jazz, the postman's speed can't keep up with Zhao Dong. Once the Knicks' small lineup is all stretched out, how will the postman play?
Now that Zhao Dong has Hill's first step, it is very easy to step up to Jordan and the postman.

After pulling away, Zhao Dong's breakthrough, who can stop him?
As for the Lakers, no matter how amazing the quality of the Sharks is, no matter how fast they are, they can't keep up with Zhao Dong.

Not to mention the sharks that have gained weight now, even the young sharks who have just entered the alliance have some difficulty keeping up with Zhao Dong.

After thinking for a long time, Jerry Sloan and Harris came up with the same idea after thinking about it, that is to let the postman Malone (O'Neal) guard the basket, let others switch to Zhao Dong, and let go of one of the Knicks' outsiders.

The result of this would definitely be that Zhao Dong's defenders would be overwhelmed, but the result would be better than replacing the Sharks and Postman and playing a smaller lineup with the Knicks.

Take a look at the Bulls game, playing against the Knicks, Jordan and Rodman were blown to pieces in the low post, the two coaches would rather be blown up by Zhao Dong from the outside, at least Zhao Dong’s shooting percentage from the outside must be higher Well below the post and basket.

Compared with the Bulls, the two teams have more confidence, because both the Sharks and the Postman are very strong, and their defense is very strong. It is not comparable to Ewing who is full of injuries. If Zhao Dong dares to hit the basket from the outside , will definitely be strongly blocked by the two, while Ewing and Rodman can only be blown up.

In the United Center arena, Jordan was put on the bench, and Zhao Dong was also substituted half a minute later.

38分钟，23投18中，全部是冲击内线，或者低位单打与篮下强打，命中率高达78%，加上17罚15中，轰下51分8篮板3助攻3抢断4盖帽1失误3犯规的数据。

"A crushing victory."

After the game, on the ABC live broadcast, Hubie Brown sighed:

"This game proves that the Super Bull's inside line is not only fake, but also completely restrained by the Knicks in terms of tactical configuration. In other words, it was restrained by the Flying Dragon.

The Bulls don't have a guy who can compete with the Dragons on the outside and inside at the same time, which puts the Bulls in a very passive situation in terms of tactical response.

If Jordan can interact with the Dragon on the outside, his score can also offset the score of the Dragon, but he can't offset the damage that the Dragon brought to the Bulls.17 free throws in three quarters resulted in 11 fouls by the Bulls. This kind of lethality is fatal enough.

What's more, the current Jordan, his scoring ability is no longer as good as that of the flying dragon, and he can no longer offset the scoring of the flying dragon on the offensive end.

At the same time, the offensive efficiency of the dragon is higher than that of Jordan, which is one of the main reasons why the Knicks beat the Bulls, super terrifying high efficiency. "

Cook went on to say: "The Bulls definitely can't solve the player configuration. If Phil Jackson can't use the existing lineup and play the corresponding tactics, then it is certain that after the next game, the Knicks will be eliminated by [-]-[-]. bull."

At the scene, Zhao Dong was interviewed.

"Feilong, leading three to one, would you like to advance here, or go back to New York to advance?" Thomas, the team reporter, asked with a smile.

"Humph!"

This question made a local reporter very upset, but the Knicks got the match point, and he couldn't argue.

"I prefer to eliminate it at the opponent's home court." Zhao Dong said.

This sentence changed the expression of the local reporter, and he said angrily: "Feilong, you are too rude, and you are not humble at all."

"Why be humble?"

Zhao Dong asked in surprise: "Do you Americans also pay attention to modesty? Or do you only let us Chinese be humble?"

"..." The reporter was speechless.

"Feilong, you are right, as long as you are strong enough, you don't need that kind of hypocritical modesty when facing anyone." Thomas immediately supported.

An hour later, Zhao Dong participated in the post-match press conference.

"Coach Nelson, did the team's small lineup strategy in the second quarter be designed long ago?" The New York Times reporter asked.

Speaking of this, Nelson Sr. laughed and said: "During the offseason, when I just returned to New York, I talked to Feilong once. He knew that I was good at and liked small ball play, but he had different opinions.

He believes that in the playoffs, a higher proportion of positional warfare should be maintained and fast break tactics with more mistakes should be reduced. I accepted his opinion.

Tonight's small tactic is a tactic developed by me based on the characteristics of the flying dragon and the basketball concept of blurring my position.

Facts have proved that this tactic is still good. "

At this time, a reporter from the New York Times asked: "But this tactic, the main offense is all flying dragons, is it too concentrated?"

Old Nelson immediately explained: "The biggest feature of the triangle tactic is to create opportunities for superstars to play singles. My tactic is the same, opening up and allowing the flying dragons to play singles.

But what you said is not comprehensive. In fact, in the second quarter, after Ewing came on the court, when he was pulled out, we played several times inside.My strategy is to only let the person with the greatest dislocation advantage play. "

"So what is this tactic called?"

Old Nelson smiled and said, "I call it the double-headed snake tactic."

"Two-headed snake tactics?" Everyone was shocked.

Old Nelson smiled and said, "Yes, the flying dragon is just two snake heads, both of which have deadly attack power."

The atmosphere in the Bulls press conference hall was very dull.

Suffering a big defeat, two insiders were injured, the team fell behind one to three, and was about to be eliminated. Jordan was in a very bad mood, but he still attended the press conference.

"Michael, what do you want to say about the defeat in this game?" The reporter from the local sports newspaper asked.

"terribly sorry……"

Jordan said something, shook his head, and smiled wryly: "We can't deal with the killing of the flying dragon, he can beat us with his free throws."

"Do you think there's something wrong with the whistle?" a New York reporter chimed in below.

Jordan glanced at the reporter, shook his head and said, "No, I'm just saying that we can't handle his lethality. We don't have an insider who can stop him."

"Coach Jackson, if he is eliminated, it means that the offseason trade failed. Who do you think is responsible?" the original reporter asked.

"Who's to blame. I was assured that Ewing was still available, but in reality, we had him on reserve for one season, and he only had one good game in the Eastern Conference Finals. "Phil Jackson said coldly.

Beside, Jerry Krause, deadpan.

This time, he made up his mind that either the boss fired him or he fired Phil Jackson.

"Mr. Claus, do you think your offseason deal is correct?" A reporter turned his gun.

In fact, because of Jordan's influence, the vast majority of Chicago fans and the media don't like Jerry Krause, because they think Krause is at fault, and even boo him often at home.

"What chips did we exchange for Ewing?" Jerry Krause asked coldly.

The reporter was startled and had nothing to say.

Toni Kukoc, Ron Harper, these are not decisive players, and the deal is not a disadvantage.

Jerry Krause said again: "I will not shirk responsibility, but I don't think the transaction is a failure. I traded Pippen for Kidd. Pippen had surgery this season and was reimbursed for most of the season. Kidd Playing an All-Star performance, is this a failed deal?

Ewing, as I said during the trade, take a gamble, indeed, the gamble did not win, but if we don't trade, Luke Langley will also be blown up by the flying dragon. "

Speaking of this, he got a little angry and said: "When I was going to sign Feilong, he had decent low-post singles skills at that time, and he also had the attributes of a low-profile version of both offense and defense, which just made up for our weakness inside.

My contract is all set and I'm about to meet him, only 10 minutes away from the appointment.But in these 10 minutes, someone changed everything, whose responsibility is this?who? "

"Oh!"

The conference hall was full of exclamations.

This is the first time that Jerry Krause publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with the expulsion of Zhao Dong. Before that, he had always shouldered the responsibility on himself.

And this time the accusation was directed at Jordan.

Jordan's face changed, he stood up abruptly, pushed the chair behind him violently, left the scene angrily without saying a word.

"Michael?"

Phil Jackson stood up and yelled, but Jordan didn't respond. He glanced back at Jerry Krause and said dissatisfiedly, "Mr. Krause, what you do is not good for the team."

Jerry Krause glanced at the opponent coldly, and said coldly: "If the Eastern Conference Finals is eliminated, the team will immediately enter reconstruction."

"what?"

Everyone was stunned.

The press conference broke up badly.

Several reporters found Phil Jackson, who was leaving, and one reporter asked: "Phil, do you think Jerry Krause is right to rebuild the team?"

"He's been trying to tear this team apart while we're at it, and he's been doing it. I'd love to teach him how to run a team, actually, and I'd love to send him a book, that book." Book called A Fool Can Be a Manager."

After saying this, the angry Phil Jackson turned and left.

For someone who is very manipulative, he really wasn't very happy under Jerry Krause.

Although Klaus was kind to him, he and Klaus had a long-standing grudge.

After completing the dynasty in 95, he hoped that Krause would clean up the team, leaving only Jordan, and everyone else, including Pippen, would be cleared out, because he wanted to lead a brand new team to win the championship.

But Klaus refused, did not satisfy his wish, and the Bulls were eliminated by the Knicks for two consecutive seasons. He thought it was Klaus' fault.

For example, Ewing and Rodman are not the people he wants, but Klaus insists on trading, and the final result is the current result.

He really endured Klaus for a long time, otherwise he would not have said such things in front of the media, it would be really intolerable.
