Chapter 253

07:30, the first announcement.

Knicks: Ben Wallace, Zhao Dong, Oakley, Alan Houston, John Starks.

Jazz: Greg Foster, Karl Malone, Brian Russell, Jeff Horacek, John Stockton
The finals were broadcast live across the United States by TNT TV. Bill Walton analyzed: "The Jazz have only had two biggest problems in the past few seasons."

"Bill, which two?" Matt asked cooperatively.

Bill Walton laughed: "First, none of the star centers, whether Greg Foster or Greg Ostertag, are role players.

Second, there is no guy with good offensive ability with the ball. When the offensive tactics fail, there are no stars who can execute singles tactics. "

"Ha ha……"

Hearing what Bill Wharton said, Matt was immediately happy.

"I know what you're laughing at. Do you think I agree with what Feilong said, the postman doesn't have the ability to attack with the ball, is he a pancake man?"

Bill Walton also laughed, and then explained: "But he is indeed lacking in this ability. This is an undeniable fact. If he had half the ball-handling offensive ability of the Flying Dragon, the Jazz would have flown long ago."

In the CCTV live broadcast seat, Zhang Lili smiled and said: "The Jazz is still the old lineup. The Knicks have increased rebounds and interior defense this season. I think there should be no suspense in this finals. The only suspense is that the Knicks will use a few games , solve this old enemy."

"Zhao Dong said, four to one." Sun Zhenping laughed.

Zhang Lili laughed and said after a long time: "It's better to be able to sweep or sweep. It is a greater humiliation for the Jazz to book a big score. We can humiliate our opponents, but we can't humiliate them so presumptuously. We have to be more reserved."

"Director Zhang, this implicit humiliation..." Sun Zhenping asked curiously.

Next, the commentary duo discuss how to implicitly humiliate their opponents.

The first game, the two meet.

Under the leadership of Zhao Dong, the Knicks held their heads high, as if this was their home court.

As for the Jazz, the head postman completely lost his momentum in front of Zhao Dong, which also made the entire team lose morale.

John Stockton felt a little sad. How much hope can he have in this finals?

"Shh!"

When Zhao Dong played, he was rewarded with the most enthusiastic boos at the Delta Arena as a rival who beat up the postman several times.

"Why don't you listen to Iverson? Forget it." Zhao Dong dismissed the idea.

When he stepped into the court, he raised his arms in the spotlight, repeatedly raising and lowering.

There was a sudden bang at this action, boos rose loudly, and the decibels broke through a limit, making the entire arena tremble.

"Oh, damn it, is this guy provoking us? Postman, please blow him up, please!" the on-site commentator roared angrily.

"Oh, is Feilong really provoking the home fans?" Bill Walton asked in surprise.

"No, he was just asking the Knicks fans for louder cheers. Didn't you notice that he was facing the visiting fans, and there were all his fans there," Matt laughed.

"That's right." Bill Wharton laughed.

It's a lie, just now Feilong was the last to switch to the away fans, and there was provocation in front of it.

At this time in the league, Stern was a little restless at home.

He is very clear that the Jazz is not the opponent of the Knicks, and the finals are likely to show no suspense and a one-sided situation.

But in this way, it will seriously affect the ratings.

At this time, the landline rang, and he hurried over to grab the receiver.

"I'm Stern."

"Sir, it is currently 2600 million." The staff on the opposite side reported.

"I see."

Stern breathed a sigh of relief, the data is barely enough, and has not fallen to a shocking level, at least higher than the season when Jordan retired.

He knew that Nike and Adidas were interfering in the Bulls' deal, and even the Lakers, which involved many stars, so he wanted to stop it.

Because he can't make the league unbalanced, the big market and the small market can't be out of balance, and all the stars can't be concentrated in a few teams, so other small teams won't agree, which may cause the league to lose its balance. A split occurs.

But this finals made him temporarily dispel this idea.

"Perhaps it is also a good thing to let them form a few super teams."

He started to think about this matter, and he can let Nike and Adidas do it, but the interests of the league must be balanced again, and the interests of small teams must be taken into account.

For example, income from local broadcasting rights needs to be changed. The league needs to divide part of the benefits from big teams such as the Lakers and Knicks, and then distribute them equally to small teams.

There is also the income from broadcasting rights for live broadcasts across the United States, which also needs to be redistributed.

Peripheral income such as tickets and jerseys must also be redistributed.

In addition, it is time for the luxury tax to be introduced, which is the key point to balance the interests of large and small teams.

If those big teams are unwilling, then block their trades.

Since Adidas is going to join the league, let them bleed a little more.

The only thing is, the Knicks don't seem to be easy to deal with. They are being targeted, and if they cut the benefits from the Knicks, a fool will agree.

However, there is still a way to let big sponsors like Nike and Adidas bleed, so that the Knicks can have actual benefits, such as increasing sponsorship.

After 5 minute, the game starts.

Big Ben wins the jump ball and the Knicks attack.

The starting lineup arranged by the old Nelson is arranged according to his preferences, that is, he does not pay attention to the position of the players, and only pursues the strongest strength, that is, the five strongest players in the Knicks.

It was Alan Houston who took possession of the ball across the half court. After crossing the center line, he handed the ball to Zhao Dong, who was outside the three-point line on the left wing.

"Look, will the Knicks still play the double-headed snake tactic?" Bill Walton asked curiously.

"It's a two-headed dragon tactic." Matt corrected.

"I think the three-headed dog strategy is better. You must know that the flying dragon is also responsible for the organization, and one person is responsible for three positions at the same time." Bill Wharton laughed.

"Haha, that's a good idea, that's what we call it," Matt laughed.

Zhao Dong was holding the ball on the perimeter. The Jazz did not match up the postman. The postman was too slow. Instead, he matched up small forward Brian Russell, and the defensive strategy was crazy. .

If there was no last rule of the flying dragon, Zhao Dong could directly crush Russell, and then easily rush in, but now he can't do it, he has to go around.

Zhao Dong suddenly dribbled the ball and took a step back, changing direction to bypass Russell and enter the flank. The latter moved immediately, but at this moment, the former turned around and passed.

"Suddenly!"

Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.

"Oh!"

When Russell moved again, trying to block him, Zhao Dong resolutely drove past the former, and then rushed into the flank.

The referee did not blow his whistle because Russell was on the move, had no defensive position, and had no cylinder, which does not violate Rule 138 of the Dragon Law.

Three steps later, under the support of more powerful explosive power, Zhao Dong's speed increased, and he entered the paint area from the left elbow area, and the impact force visible to the naked eye had already formed.

At this time, Jazz center Greg Foster was sitting at the basket, and the postman was returning from the right wing.

A total of four steps were rushed, and on the way he knocked over Jeff Horasek, who was defending against him. Zhao Dong took a small step at the end. Driven by the stronger lower body strength, his speed increased to the highest level. Basket three meters flew up.

"So fast!"

Ma Long's eyes shrank, he was stuck in Zhao Dong's speed and returned to the defense, but Zhao Dong actually accelerated again when he finally took off, he was actually slow and couldn't catch up.

"call!"

With the sound of the wind, Zhao Dong flew past the postman Ma Long.

Karl Malone really wanted to reach out and pull Zhao Dong down directly from the side, his hands were too itchy.

However, the consequences were unbearable for him.

Even if he fell to Zhao Dong's death, the consequences would be unbearable. He would be killed directly, or killed with a single shot, or swarmed into the sea to feed the sharks, or thrown into prison to pick up soap for a lifetime.

So, he withdrew his outstretched hand and watched Zhao Dongfei go to the basket.

"boom!"

At the same time as the rim exploded, Jazz center Greg Foster flew in response and was knocked out in the air.

"Am I going to die?"

During the extremely strong collision, Greg Foster felt that he was hit by an [-]-mile heavy truck.

The moment he was hit, he felt his chest collapsed, all the air in his chest was squeezed out, his breathing stopped, and he felt like he was suffocating.

"Oh!"

In the next moment, he hit the floor, and while moaning in pain, he continued to slip and hit the media reporter.

"Oh!"

There was a huge exclamation in the Delta Arena.

"yeah!"

The [-] away fans and the Knicks bench were boiling.

The repeated collisions and bumps made Greg Foster unable to get up, and he coughed painfully while clutching his chest. He felt that his entire chest was numb.

Seeing that Greg Foster couldn't get up, the on-site commentator Hornier roared angrily: "He's killing! The Chinese are using his impact to try to kill Greg Foster! He's going to kill Foster!

The alliance should immediately ban such a strong collision!Even in the NFL, they have protective gear to protect players, but not here, the league should take immediate steps to protect our players.  …”

"Shh!"

The jazz fans who fell into silence reacted, and immediately booed extremely terrifyingly.

During the TNT live broadcast, Bill Wharton wiped his forehead, where there was a fine layer of sweat beads that emerged just now.

"The speed of the flying dragon seems to be faster!"

He shook his head and sighed: "His explosive power, his speed, and the impact formed are really terrifying, even comparable to the strongest fullbacks and tight ends in the NFL."

Matt nodded, and said in an unbelievable tone: "The intensity of the impact caused by his impact is completely comparable to the strongest impact in an NFL game, the intensity that would kill a person without protective gear.

But you have to know that in order to avoid the impact of hurting the body, NFL players have a set of armor protection, but not here.

What I want to say is that as an inside player who blocks the flying dragon from hitting the basket, he is indeed in a very dangerous situation. "

Bill Walton sighed: "I remember O'Neill once said that the league should prohibit flying dragons from sprinting a distance of more than ten meters, but he didn't have ten meters just now. I think this distance should be limited to... five meters?"

"At most seven meters, five meters, should be able to reduce his impact. Even if he is hit, the risk of injury is very small." Matt nodded.

Bill Walton said again: "But this kind of rule is not conducive to the enjoyment of the game, and it will also seriously attack the offense, which violates the true meaning of basketball."

"So do you have any good ideas?" Matt asked.

Bill Walton said with a smile: "Actually, this issue has been discussed after the Knicks' first and second rounds."

"Zone defense?" Matt asked in surprise.

Nodding, Bill Walton said with a smile: "Man-to-man defense is good for defending the mid-range shooting area, but it is not as good as the zone defense for the tactical limitation of breaking through the ball.

When the offensive screen occurs, the defender will be taken away by the offensive screen. At this time, there will often be a channel leading directly to the basket. The outside line is less difficult to break through, and the protection for the inside offense is insufficient. This is also the reason why the flying dragon can rush in and cause damage. one.

As for zone defense, there are fixed defenders in each zone, which is very strong against inside offense and defense, and can also effectively prevent damage caused by outside breakthroughs. With layers of interceptions, it is difficult for opponents to rush to the end like flying dragons. "

Matt nodded and said: "Not bad, not bad, this is like a series of checkpoints. The speed of the flying dragon cannot be raised to such a high level, and the impact will naturally be limited."

"what?"

At this moment, Bill Wharton exclaimed suddenly.

"3700?"

Matt also received the news that the director gave them a data, the latest ratings data, which skyrocketed by 1000 million, and this data continued to rise.

Bill Wharton shook his head and laughed: "I think, do our American citizens have a special preference for this kind of fierce confrontation?"

He knew very well that it was the terrifying collision of the flying dragon just now that caused the ratings to skyrocket.

"So the NFL has always been at the top of the four major sports leagues, and that's why." Matt shrugged and laughed.

"Oh, the Jazz team doctor came up, and he signaled for a substitution." Zhang Lili shouted at this time.

"I don't know where it hurt?" Sun Zhenping asked curiously.

"The chest was hit, the ribs shouldn't be broken, right?" Zhang reasonably guessed.

Courtside, on the Jazz bench, Greg Ostertag was called out by Jerry Sloan.

He gave up his starting center position due to injury. Although he is also a role player, in terms of strength, he is better than Foster.

However, seeing what happened to Fortes, now his legs are trembling.

"How?" Jerry Sloan stared at the team doctor and asked.

"The collision was too strong. His head was a little dizzy, and he hurt his back muscles when he fell. This fight is impossible. Look at the consequences of his collision..."

The team doctor said while pulling up Foster's jersey.

"hiss!"

Including Jerry Sloan, the Jazz's bench gasped at the same time.

I saw that the entire chest of Greg Foster was abnormally red, which was a phenomenon after a strong collision, and a large number of capillaries in the muscles were blasted.

This is not to say that the injury is serious, but it will definitely take time to recover, otherwise the team doctor will not be able to let him play.

"Mr. Sloan, the chest was hit so strongly, it is no less than a car accident, he must go to the hospital for examination now, maybe there is bleeding in the lungs, and I can't guarantee that there are no fractures." The team doctor said.

"Go." Jerry Sloan waved his hand.

"3700?"

In New York, Stern was a little surprised when he received the report for the second time, but the well-informed he thought for a while and understood why the sudden increase was so much.

He has been limiting court violence, but now, it seems that this collision is not a court violence, but a normal collision?No foul indeed.

Of course, after hearing the commentary from Bill Walton and Matt, he also felt that this fierce collision would cause too much damage to the players, but now it seems that it is not the time for him to come up with the restriction rules or switch to zone defense.

Because the rule that limits the sprint distance cannot be spread to other players, it is a harm to basketball, and it can only be aimed at Zhao Dong, because only he has such a terrifying impact.

For a superstar who can increase his ratings by 100 million, successive rules are issued to limit his performance. This requires careful consideration and cannot be decided on a whim.

The promulgation of rules must conform to a balance principle, and this balance cannot be broken.

Of course, if someone's ability is really too outstanding and breaks this balance, then what should be restricted should be restricted. After all, this is a team sport, not an individual competition.

Therefore, he is now thinking more about zone defense.

In fact, many teams are now playing around the edge of the zone defense rules, and there are not many obstacles to the implementation of the zone defense rules.

Perhaps, you can also consider canceling the illegal defense and allowing double-teaming of people without the ball.

The league used to allow double-teaming without the ball, but he changed this rule in the 81/82 season because he wanted to make stars.

But now, because of Feilong and O'Neill, maybe it's time to change, otherwise the balance will get out of control and bad consequences will result.

"Snapped!"

In the frontcourt of the Jazz, Zhao Dong exploded and slapped the postman's mid-range shot away.

"Cool!"

Looking at the dull-faced postman, he felt completely refreshed.

I feel that his bullet speed now, with the assistance of the Silver Demon, should be about the same as the terrifying bullet speed of Rain Man.

The Jazz attacked again and Stockton made a shot.

Two draws, the Knicks attack.

Zhao Dong took the ball outside the three-point line on the left wing again.

Seeing him catch the ball and prepare to make a breakthrough against Russell, all the Jazz players, and even the Jazz fans in the stadium, were a little scared. They didn't know what would happen next moment, maybe someone would be knocked into the air again?
"I am coming!"

Zhao Dong looked over Russell's shoulder and stared at Karl Malone, who was on the right waist in the paint area.

The postman's face twitched and he couldn't help breathing.

"Brian Russell, do everything you can to prevent him from starting!" Jerry Sloan roared from the sidelines.

The pressure on Russell is too great, he has the courage to challenge Jordan, and he also challenged Zhao Dong in last year's finals, but now, his pressure is really too great.

He stood in front of Zhao Dong, pulling Zhao Dong frantically with both hands, as if venting the pressure in his heart.

Zhao Dong carried Russell with his left hand, grabbed the ball with his right hand, and swept it backwards like eagle wings.

At this moment, he took a step with his right foot, stepped out, and made a strong thrust from the right side.

Hill's step was so fast that Russell couldn't react. When Zhao Dong rushed over, he had to drag Zhao Dong's arm firmly with both hands.

Zhao Dong was staggered and lost the ball.

But at this time, the referee's whistle also blew, and he came over to signal Russell to foul.

"Boy, with your defense, you will be replaced soon." Zhao Dong laughed at Russell.

"Just go down, don't even try to pass by me." Russell said sternly.

"Ha ha!"

Zhao Dong laughed, he felt that the idiot Russell was really begging?How can such a team compete with him for the championship?
