Chapter 279 Roaring Tianzun wants to use violence against the flying dragon?

At this point the bulls attack.

"Oh, the dragon is at the free throw line, and the Knicks have a 32-zone defense. Contrary to the Bulls, they have strengthened their defense on the perimeter." Bill Walton said.

Zhao Dong guards the free throw line. In this area, he can help defend in all directions. With his mobility, the defensive area can radiate to the entire half court.

On his left and right sides are Madman and Billups, and the left and right wings are low-post Big Ben and Fortson.

Kidd held the ball close to the top of the arc, Zhao Dong took a step up, the former immediately accelerated, changed direction slightly to the right, and broke through to the right elbow.

Zhao Dong quickly moved to defend and blocked Kidd. The latter failed to break through and immediately retreated with a dribble.

The madman on the right wing did not make a double-team posture, and still looked at Jordan.

At this moment, Jordan suddenly started, running down the three-point line.

Kidd saw Jordan's opening and immediately passed the ball.

Jordan received the ball, made a false shot, and flew away the madman who was rushing over, and then rushed to the three-point line and then stopped for a jumper.

Zhao Dong got two steps away, but it was too late.

"Shh!"

Splashes appeared and two points were hit.

"Kidd's breakthrough did not have the effect of attracting double-teams. Zhao Dong was in the middle, like a gate." Zhang Lili said.

"That is to say, the Bulls' offensive tactics did not work out." Sun Zhenping said.

"The Knicks trust Zhao Dong's perimeter defense ability very much. If the madman double-teamed Kidd just now, then Jordan is likely to get a wide open. However, he still relies on his personal off-ball movement to create small open opportunities to catch the ball. From this point of view, the Bulls' offensive tactics have been played out, and the triangle tactics are to create opportunities for Jordan to play singles, but Kidd's breakthrough tactics are not effective." Zhang Lili said.

The Knicks attacked, and Billups made a tactical gesture to pull away, leaving only Ben to move in the paint area, and the other four all pulled away.

The Bulls still use two-three tactics, which gave the Knicks a chance on the outside.

Fortson made a pick-and-roll tactic with the Madman on the right wing. The Madman received the ball after a cut and made an open shot, but missed a three-pointer.

At this time, the strength of the Bulls' two-three defense tactics came out. It was three-on-two at the basket, and Oakley grabbed the rebound.

The Bulls played a fast break, Tracy McGrady went down and cut into the paint from the left wing, when Kidd's long pass from the backcourt came.

But Zhao Dong, who was back on defense, had already rushed down from the free throw line. McGrady noticed it. After catching the ball, he didn't dare to shoot himself.

On the right wing, Jordan made an emergency stop jumper after receiving the ball and hit another goal.

"McGrady is a young man with great potential. He can shoot suddenly and pass the ball. He is no less talented than Pippen." Bill Walton laughed.

Matt analyzed: "He has shown the potential of an excellent organization small forward. It's just that Kidd doesn't need his organization ability.

He was in the position of the Bulls. When he was first traded to the Bulls, he was just a perimeter defensive collar, and then shot three-pointers, which is what Feilong called a 3D collar player.

But in the playoffs, his function evolved, shooting from inside and outside, and became a normal small forward.

At the beginning of this season, it is not clear what changes he has, but his offensive potential is very strong. I think the Bulls should give him more shots and possessions, which will allow him to grow faster and share Jordan's burden more. pressure. "

Bill Walton continued: "Jordan is almost 36 years old after all. The Bulls definitely want Kidd and McGrady to grow up so that if Jordan retires, the Bulls will not collapse and rebuild. So I agree with you, Matt, the Bulls are likely to It will increase McGrady's shots and possessions."

The two of them were right. McGrady averaged only 8 shots per game last season, with a 45% shooting rate. In this game, McGrady took 5 shots in the first quarter, hit 3 goals, and held the ball once. Offensively, he made a shot over the head of the madman, another fast break was successful, and an open jumper was successful.

After the first quarter, at 23:23, the two teams drew.

Zhang rationally analyzed: "Jordan didn't give full play today, everyone shot very evenly, especially McGrady, who took five shots in a single quarter, just like Jordan, this should be Phil Jackson wants to use the regular season to grind young people, just like The Knicks honed in on Ben Wallace and Danny Fortson."

Sun Zhenping said: "The Knicks still took Zhao Dong the most shots, seven shots, all outside jumpers, and four goals. He didn't break through with the ball very much today. He played without the ball. Billups organized the offense, and Jordan's style of play is pretty much the same."

Zhang Lili said: "In addition, judging from the situation in the first quarter, the Bulls' inside problem has been solved. From the main force to the substitute, the rebounding ability is very strong, not weaker than the Knicks at all.

In addition, the interior defense is also doing well. Oakley and Rashid have good mobility. They help defend very well and have a large defensive area.

In addition, Jordan, Kidd, and McGrady on the outside are very good defensively, even very strong. The Bulls' overall defense is not weaker than the Knicks, and even better in some positions.For example, the second position and the first position, both offensive and defensive ends, the Bulls are stronger. "

On the TNT live broadcast, Bill Walton analyzed: "It seems that Phil Jackson's general manager has done a good job. His rebuilt lineup solved the problems of rebounding and inside defense, and at the same time increased the thickness of the bench, allowing the Bulls to The competitiveness from the main force to the substitute has been enhanced a lot.”

Matt went on to say: "I think ESPN needs to adjust the Bulls' championship predictions. The Bulls' chances of winning the championship should be higher."

Bill Walton said with a smile: "For the Knicks, the offensive ability of the starting inside combination is too poor. Adding up to average 15 points per game is not bad, but the offense is still too focused on the outside.

Of course, I'm talking about the Knicks' offense being more balanced if he's in the low post when Dragon is on the perimeter.

But when he is on the outside and does not break through with the ball, he is all jumpers, which will affect the Knicks' offensive efficiency.

So if the Knicks keep playing like this, I think the Bulls will have the upper hand. "

"It's just the regular season. There are a lot of newcomers coming in. The lineup needs to be adjusted. He can't catch it all at once. Flying Dragon should not be able to exert force in the first half." Matt analyzed.

Matt made a good point. Zhao Dong didn't make any effort until halftime. He made 11 of 7 shots, 2 of 1 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. He only scored 17 points.

At halftime, 42:47, the Bulls led by 5 points.

Jordan scored 13 points in the first half. McGrady was the Bulls' leading scorer in the first half. He made 12 of 6 shots, 3 of 1 three-pointers, 4 of 3 free throws, and scored 16 points. Scoring potential.

Back in the locker room, Zhao Dong praised Fortson and said, "Danny, two fouls in 18 minutes, although not too rare, but one of them was a defensive tactical foul, which can be done, and also grabbed 6 fouls." Rebounding, good performance."

"hey-hey……"

Clutching the back of his head, Fortson smiled smugly.

"However, there was another unnecessary mistake, and another foul occurred while grabbing a rebound. You must continue to pay attention to these problems. These two times are avoidable, and you have wasted the ball twice." Zhao Dong reminded.

"Yes, boss," Fortson yelled.

Billups looked at Fortson enviously, if only the boss could train me like this every day, wouldn't my progress be so fast?

"Charles, if you want to get the ring, your performance today is not good. In the second quarter, you made 4-0 shots from [-] shots." Looking back, Zhao Dong began to complain about Barkley.

In the second quarter, Barkley partnered with Willis, and his performance was not as good as the latter. Willis was really strong. He scored 10 points and 4 rebounds in 3 minutes, and also sent a block and an assist.

"It's been too long without a game, and the state has not returned." Barkley said aggrievedly.

"Charles, you can only shoot jump shots outside, you dare not go in the paint area." Zhao Dong continued to complain.

"Who said that? Look at how I get in. I'm a flying pig." Barkley said angrily.

"No, you'd better take care of your body, keep warming up during the regular season, and wait for the playoffs." Zhao Dong laughed.

An injury-ridden veteran like Barkley, like Ewing in these two seasons, can only be used in the playoffs. If he uses too much in the regular season, he will run out of gas in the playoffs.

At the CCTV live broadcast, Zhang Lili said at this time: "I didn't get a second of playing time in the first half. I just said that the Bulls are very strong inside this year. He won't have many opportunities. It's a pity."

Sun Zhenping said: "That's right, the other insiders all played in the second quarter, but it's too big to have a chance."

Zhang Lili said: "Actually, it can enrich the Bulls' offensive tactics. He has three-pointers and has a strong ability to open. I have seen it at the Dongcheng training base after returning to China. The NBA's three-point line is very accurate. In addition, his mid-range shooting is also good, and he shoots in confrontation in training, and the trainer Zhao Dong specially arranged for him came from the United States."

"If you want me to say, the Bulls really don't have a chance, so they ask for a trade. In a championship-level team like the Bulls, there are indeed few opportunities for rookies." Sun Zhenping said.

Zhang Lili nodded and said: "I think Zhao Dong should have a plan. He has spent so much effort, from Hu Weidong, to Yao Min who played in the NCAA, to Dazhi, and established the Dongcheng training base. It is impossible to watch It’s too big to waste time in the Bulls. This year, I’m 22 years old, and it’s time for long balls. If I don’t have a chance to play, it will delay my growth.”

He didn't talk about the big defensive problem, that's hard to say.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Zhao Dong still played without the ball, but instead of jumping outside, he began to cut inside and directly hit the basket.

Zhang rationally analyzed: "Zhao Dong doesn't have the ball in his hands, so he can't double-team him. As long as he cuts into the paint and sends the ball to his hands in time, with his current finishing ability, the success rate will be very high."

Sun Zhenping said: "This tactic tests Billups' passing ability and the cooperation and tacit understanding between Zhao Dong and the point guard."

The first cut-in tactic failed, Billups's ball did not come out, Zhao Dong pulled to the right wing, looked at Billups' position, suddenly turned around and began to cut inside again.

This time, the ball came in just as he was cutting into the paint.

When he received the ball, the defenders McGrady and Oakley in the nearby area wanted to double-team him, but it was too late.

Oakley was too familiar with Zhao Dong. When he saw him cut back, he immediately moved ahead, but it was still a little late. He reached out to stop him, but he didn't, and was rushed by Zhao Dong.

Zhao Dong took the ball a step further, flew up, and flew towards Rasheed Wallace who hurried back to the basket.

"boom!"

The moment the basket was smashed, the audience erupted.

Rashid was knocked over in the air, fell on the floor and slipped two meters backwards, he was in a panic and panting like a cow.

Phil Jackson shook his head. The defense was unsuccessful this time, and no double-team was formed. He immediately shouted to the field: "Be careful to move in advance. When the ball arrives, the double-team must arrive."

In the TNT live broadcast, Bill Walton said with a smile: "Dragon's off-ball inside cut tactic, under the rule that double-teaming off-ball players are not allowed, with his impact, the Bulls were too much damaged.

If Oakley and McGrady double-teamed him just now, in fact, with his ability to finish near the basket, whether it is an emergency stop jumper or hitting the board, the double-teaming cannot prevent him from scoring. "

Matt said: "Facing people like Jordan and Dragons, it is very difficult to stop him from scoring. They have a hundred ways to put the ball into the basket. The only way to defend is to reduce their shooting percentage.

But Bill, the situation you mentioned, I think the Bulls should be able to get some changes this season with Oakley. As long as Oakley's defense is in place just now, his fighting defense should be able to reduce the offensive efficiency of the dragon. "

After thinking about it, Bill Walton said: "In the first two seasons, the big bug's defensive trade against the dragon was not good. He can deal with people like postmen, but he can't defend against people like dragons with strong impact and super fast movement. Does Oakley It can reduce the efficiency of the flying dragon, I think it will take time to verify."

"Feilong, tell me, how fast can you run now?" On the court, Oakley asked angrily.

He had already moved ahead of time just now, but he still couldn't keep up with Zhao Dong's speed.

Zhao Dong laughed and said, "Charles, I can run [-] meters in [-] seconds, what do you think?"

"blow!"

Oakley said angrily.

"Xie Te, why don't you participate in the [-]-meter trapeze competition?" He said he didn't believe it, but in his heart, he believed it.

In the next few offensive rounds, Zhao Dong also ran without the ball, constantly attacking the inside, putting great pressure on the Bulls' inside defense.

Every time he cuts in, he can shake the Bulls' defensive formation and make the Bulls panic.

The reasonable impact zone was implemented in the playoffs last season. This is the best rule for O'Neal, but it is also the best rule for a person like Zhao Dong who has a terrifying impact. It allows him to attack unscrupulously. Anyone in the reasonable impact zone The defenders who stop him will be knocked away by him.

"boom!"

As the rim was smashed, Rasheed Wallace was knocked over the basket again.

"asshole!"

Being buckled and kicked repeatedly, Tianzun became angry and couldn't help it. His brain was broken, so he got up and pushed Zhao Dong.

This time, it irritated Ben Wallace next to him, and he just pushed up and overthrew Rasheed Wallace to the ground.

Then Danny Fortson also rushed over, but was blocked by Zhao Dong.

"Di Di!"

The referee ran over and inserted himself among the crowd.

Stern is on the sidelines, how dare he allow violence on the court?When Rasheed Wallace just got up, he immediately asked him to eat a T.

"He pushed me, and you gave me a T?" Rasheed Wallace was furious instantly, and roared at the referee.

Well, the next moment, the referee showed the second T, and then Rasheed Wallace was stunned.

"Oh, Rasheed Wallace dared to use violence against the flying dragon? Oh, is he crazy? Think about Tyson, Tyson's head was blown off by the flying dragon, do you want to be blown off by him too? "

In the TNT live broadcast seat, Matt shouted in surprise.

"He got a T! Oh, is Rasheed Wallace yelling at the referee?...Oh, he got a T in a row, and the referee directly sent off Rasheed Wallace."

Bill Wharton exclaimed excitedly.

"Go down, damn it, you should be lucky that Ben Wallace pushed you down first, otherwise the flying dragon would do it, and you would have to go straight to the hospital."

On the field, seeing Rasheed Wallace still wanting to growl at the referee, Oakley hurriedly pulled him off the field.

"Charles, it's not my fault that he did it first," Rasheed Wallace roared.

"Are you out of your mind? It was you who pushed the flying dragon first, did you forget it so quickly?" Oakley was not in a good temper, and scolded directly.

Rasheed Wallace was stunned, yeah, it seems so, right?

He glanced back at Zhao Dong, the latter was looking at him coldly, his face twitched, his back felt a little cold, and he hurried off to the field.

He has a loud voice and average fighting ability, so he doesn't want to fight Zhao Dong.

The referee sent off Roaring Tianzun, and turned back and gave Big Ben a T.

Zhao Dong turned his head and shouted to Jordan: "Jordan, it seems that you have brought a powder keg, whether you blow up your opponent or yourself, that's hard to say."

"You think too much, today is just an accident." Jordan said.

With him and Oakley around, he believed that Rasheed Wallace's outbursts could be suppressed. In the half month before the start of the game, Rasheed was still obedient in the Bulls, did not cause any trouble, and got along well with his teammates. It's okay.

The Bulls did not have Rasheed Wallace, and immediately sent Kurt Thomas, who had a good defense, and Oakley, and the inside line did not collapse.

Next, Zhao Dong continued to play without the ball, cutting inside the paint frequently.

But Oakley and Kurt Thomas hit the sidelines, moved ahead of time to double-team the off-ball, and the defensive action almost fighting, had an impact on his offense.

In the third quarter, he was brought down three times by the duo.

There was an opponent on the court, Oakley didn't show mercy, he could defend as much as he wanted, but the action of hurting people was useless, and Zhao Dong had to be supported at the critical moment to avoid hurting him.

But the price of such a defense is very high. After the third quarter, Oakley committed three fouls and Kurt Thomas committed two fouls.

This is still a loose penalty scale, otherwise there will be more fouls.

Zhao Dong made 11 inside cuts in the third quarter, made one catch error, made 8 of 4 shots, 8 of 6 free throws, 14 points in a single quarter, and 31 points in three quarters.

The efficiency of this quarter is just average for him. Oakley and Kurt Thomas, two defensive champions, are heavy hitters. There are a few jumpers near the basket when they are double-teamed in advance, and there are many fouls. The whistle did not sound. .

In fact, he made six of his free throws, mainly the three he was brought down, and the rest of the time, the whistle didn't blow very much.

If it was the whistle of later generations, Oakley and Kurt Thomas would have to be punished in one quarter.

Of course, this is the scale of whistleblowing now, especially between the Knicks and the Bulls, the referee will not interfere too much, and the general defensive action will not whistle at all.

After the third quarter, 60:68, the Bulls led by 8 points.

Jordan worked hard in the third quarter, making 10 of 6 shots and 4 of 3 free throws, scoring 15 points.
