NBA Dynasty Sniper

Chapter 255

On the 5st, the final G2 match day.

This morning, the alliance held an emergency meeting.

There is only one topic in the conference center, whether to implement the joint defense rules.

Stern's control was too strong. Under his influence, this issue was quickly passed, and zone defense became a legal defensive rule.

The introduction of this rule is actually the general trend, because under this rule, everyone is in a fair environment.

When Stern balances Zhao Dong's ability, he also controls a certain degree. He can't affect Zhao Dong's strength too much, because after all, this alliance is an alliance of superstars, and everyone is watching the performance of superstars. It's the last thing to do.

Next, we began to discuss whether to modify certain rules of the zone defense, such as the rules that Jordan said restrict the first step.

This is not too much entanglement, don't say that Zhao Dong is Chinese, even if he is an American, even if he is a signature face of the league like Jordan, the balance is the overall situation. When the balance is broken, the revision of the rules is imperative.

Soon, specialized technicians put forward the detailed rules that Iverson would modify in the future, that is, when the pivot foot leaves the ground, the basketball must leave the hand, otherwise it would be a walk.

In this way, the detailed rules that were revised because of Iverson in the future were revised in advance because of Zhao Dong's appearance.

"In addition, Mr. President, the Knicks are full of defensive insiders, which is very unfair to the offensive side. They destroy the balance of offense and defense. I suggest that it is time to start the defensive three-second rule." Xiao Hua suggested.

"Defend for three seconds?"

Stern hesitated, he didn't want to weaken the Knicks too much.

But if you think about it carefully, this rule seems to be beneficial to Feilong.

Because if Feilong returns to the low post, when the opponent's inside defense is weakened, wouldn't his mobility be able to play a better inside offense?
Well, he really didn't want to weaken Knicks and Zhao Dong's strength too much, and he agreed with this rule in his heart.

"There are three seconds of offense, I think the implementation of three seconds of defense should also be implemented, otherwise the offense and defense will be unbalanced." Seeing Stern's hesitation, Xiao Hua quickly said again.

"What do you think?" Stern looked at the others.

Several executives backed by Nike and Adidas immediately raised their hands.

"That goes through," Stern said.

At eleven, the league held a press conference announcing the rule change.

First, allow zone defense rules.

Second, the rules related to joint defense have been revised.

Third, activate the defensive three-second rule.

"We were targeted."

The Knicks management is very annoyed, but this is the general trend, it has always been like this, and they can't change anything.

Zhao Dong actually thinks it's okay, these three rules will come out sooner or later, his strength will not be greatly castrated because of these rules, the impact on him can be said to be mild, and he is not the only one who needs to abide by these rules .

"We made it!"

Nike headquarters, President Philip Knight excited authentic.

The implementation and revision of the rules this time was secretly promoted by him. He persuaded Jordan to participate in Bill Walton's show and sponsored the show.

At the same time, he also recruited Xiao Hua, the special assistant to the president, and pushed for the implementation of the defensive three-second rule. Rebounding will be affected.

"Cheer up, the alliance is helping us. In tonight's game, we will boost our morale and use zone defense to lock down the Dragon."

Salt Lake City, Jazz practice facility, Jerry Sloan shouted excitedly at the players.

"Kill Knicks! Kill the flying dragon!" The postman Ma Long shouted sharply with his fists clenched as if he had recovered his morale.

"This is our best chance, everyone work hard." John Stockton roared.

"For the championship, kill the dragon!" Jeff Horacek shouted.

"For the sake of the championship, kill the flying dragon!"

Next to the training hall, a childish voice sounded, but it turned out that it was Horasek's four-year-old daughter Abby who was shouting.

"Little Abby is so cute!"

The postman Malone saw it and hurried over, wanting to touch Abby's little head.

When Jeff Horasek saw it, he immediately remembered some of the postman's evidence collected by Feilong's legal team last time, including molesting underage girls. His heart skipped a beat, and he hurried over to pick up the cute little Abby , while walking out, shouted: "Abby, go to your mother's place quickly, we are going to practice, it is very dangerous here."

Karl Malone's hands froze in mid-air, a little embarrassed.

"What does he mean?" He spread his hands and asked the others.

John Stockton said quickly: "Jeff should not be interested, but you should know, don't touch the child at will, the child protection law does not allow you to do that."

It’s okay if I don’t say this sentence, but once I said it, the postman said frantically: “John, I didn’t. That bastard Fei Long made me a crime. I didn’t molested anyone.”

"Okay, Carl, the child protection law really doesn't allow you to touch a little girl like Abby, just pay attention to your behavior in the future."

Jerry Sloan exhorted.

"But, but Jeff is too sensitive, isn't he? Our teammate for so many years, he actually believes in that bastard Feilong, but not me." The postman complained.

At this time Jeff Horacek returned.

Seeing him come back, the others stopped talking about it, and only the postman was very upset.

At this time in a training hall in Philadelphia, Iverson has already started extra training this offseason.

This kind of tedious and boring training is what he hates the most, but Zhao Dong puts too much pressure on him, if he doesn't want to be suppressed, he has to squeeze his own potential.

In fact, he himself felt unbelievable for two consecutive years of extra training, because he did not have that self-discipline ability. If someone had told him before that he would practice extra day and night, he would definitely not believe it.

But now, Iverson feels that he has been hit by [-] points because of the revised breakthrough rules.

"boom!"

When the agent rushed to the training hall and told him the news, he angrily smashed the ball in his hand on the floor and roared at the agent:

"Xie Te, this is not aimed at Feilong, this is aimed at me, okay? He has no outside suddenness, and he has a low post. I have no breakthrough, what is left?"

"Allen, calm down, we can't change anything, but I suggest that you immediately practice the basic skills of ball control to minimize the impact on you."

The agent said immediately.

"That's right." Ham, the trainer next to him, echoed.

Iverson really wanted to turn around and leave this damn training hall that he hated. He turned around and took a step forward. Zhao Dong's figure appeared in front of him immediately, and he stopped instantly.

At noon that day, at the request of the media, the Knicks held a press conference at the hotel, which was broadcast live on TNT TV.

"Feilong, do you have anything to say about the introduction of the joint defense rules?" A reporter asked.

"I'm very glad that through my personal efforts, the alliance changed the rules. Of course, the alliance will not admit this." Zhao Dong laughed.

"Haha..." Everyone present laughed.

Zhao Dong said again: "Personally, I don't have any scruples about the rules of zone defense. I think that with my strength, I can adapt to this rule."

"Feilong, do you think the zone defense can limit your breakthrough? Can it limit your impact?" Another reporter asked.

"Of course it can be restricted."

Zhao Dong explained: "Under the man-to-man rule, the breakthrough channel is like a highway. However, the zone defense makes the highway into a winding path, with defenders blocking the way, making the breakthrough much more difficult.

At the same time, the zone defense also makes it easier for the team to hold the ball. This is what limits me.

Fortunately, the league does not allow double-teaming without the ball, and the illegal defensive rules are still in place. Otherwise, I would really have no way out, and it would be very difficult to play without the ball, haha! "

"So in tonight's game, how will you solve this problem?"

Zhao Dongdao: "You will know when the time comes."

"So do you have any opinion on the three-second defense rule?" A reporter asked.

Zhao Dong said: "This is of course a change that is beneficial to the offense. The inside defenders can no longer be stationed at the basket. They have to withdraw from time to time and then go in again.

I think personally, the implementation of this rule is beneficial to me, because of my mobility, when the defender can't be stationed at the basket, I have a lot of opportunities to go in, I don't think there is any The post players can keep up with my movement speed. "

"Oh!"

The reporters exclaimed.

"Screw up!"

Nike headquarters, Philip Knight is very annoyed authentic.

He only thought of weakening the Knicks' inside defense by defending the three-second rule, but he didn't expect it to be beneficial to Zhao Dong's inside offense.

In the jazz training hall, Jerry Sloan looked at the TV on the wall with a serious expression.

"Jerry, technical and tactical training in the afternoon?" the assistant coach asked from the side.

"You stare first, I have to think about it again." Jerry Sloan said.

For the Knicks, after the press conference, Nelson Sr., Van Gundy, Thibodeau and other coaching staff also got together to discuss the night's skills and tactics.

At this time, Chicago, Ewing and his agent came to the Bulls headquarters.

Ewing's complexion was very bad. He hadn't recovered from the injury he suffered in the Eastern Conference Finals, and he was holding on to a cane.

But it's not his knees that make him look bad, but the Bulls want to buy out his contract.

"Patrick, sit down."

Seeing the two coming in, Phil Jackson laughed.

He made a decision to buy out Ewing's contract and got the consent of his boss. Boss Jerry Reinsdorf also got the support of Nike, which was paid by Nike in the name of sponsorship fees to support the tens of millions of dollars. buyout fee.

At 06:30 p.m., the Knicks entered the Delta Arena.

At seven o'clock, in the visiting team's locker room, Old Nelson began to announce the starting lineup.

"Flying Dragon, Charles, Alan Houston, Ben Wallace..."

The last person left, the last one was John Starks, so is there any change?Everyone looked at Old Nelson.

"... Chauncey Billups," said old Nelson at last.

"I?"

Billups jumped up from his seat in surprise and delight.

"Do your organizational work well, pass the ball well, and don't make wild shots outside. In addition, control your mistakes. Finally, try to do a good job of defending against Stockton." Zhao Dong said at this time.

"Got it, boss." Billups said ecstatically.

Old Nelson began to arrange tactics: "Tonight, Feilong will play the fourth position and strengthen the inside offense."

At this time, Van Gundy stood up and said: "On the defensive end, we are still man-marked, and the dragon locks up the postman."

"Do you understand?"

Zhao Dong stood up and shouted loudly: "No matter how the league changes the rules, we will sweep the Jazz. They have no right to take away a victory from us."

"Sweep the jazz!"

The roar of the crowd suddenly sounded.

In the locker room of the home team, Jerry Sloan finished arranging the tactics and said to the postman Malone: ​​"Carl, if you are marked to death by the flying dragon, then you must follow him, entangle him when the offense and defense are in transition, and you must not let him play fast breaks." .”

"Understood." The postman nodded.

At 07:30 p.m., the second team's starting lineup was announced.

Knicks: Ben Wallace, Zhao Dong, Oakley, Alan Houston, Billups.

Jazz: Greg Ostertag, Karl Malone, Brian Russell, Jeff Horacek, John Stockton.

In the TNT live broadcast seat, Bill Walton said with a smile: "The Knicks team is basically carried on the shoulders of the dragon, especially on the offensive end. The tactics are completely centered on the dragon, so this is a team with an unusual style. Obvious superstar team.

As for the Jazz, although they have the two super giants of black and white, they mainly play in team cooperation, paying attention to pick-and-roll cooperation, and there is no superstar singles.

The introduction of the zone defense is actually the most beneficial to the team playing as a team, because the zone defense pays attention to the cooperation of the area and the team defense.

So I think that in the next series, the Jazz should recover a certain disadvantage.As long as the Jazz have the morale they should have, there is still suspense in this finals. "

Matt went on to say: "I think what we need to pay attention to is how big the rules are for flying dragons.

The so-called Flying Dragon Law introduced before the Eastern Conference Finals actually had very few restrictions on him, and the crushing breakthrough without the face basket did not have much impact on him.Even, he can play back from the outside line, and just go all the way in. He has that technique. "

Bill Wharton said: "Yes, so I am opposed to this ugly style of play, not like Barkley and Mark Jackson, this style of play must not appear too much on Feilong, it will reduce his appeal to fans Power, will affect the ratings.

Of course, in practice, dragons are rarely used, or almost never used, even when the law of dragons was introduced. "

"Or can you limit the time for post-ups?" Matt laughed.

"Oh, that's a good idea." Bill Wharton laughed.

In the CCTV live broadcast, Zhang Lili said in surprise: "Old Nelson put rookie Billups in the starting lineup again, so what position will Zhao Dong play in this game?"

"Low position?" Sun Zhenping asked.

"should be."
