Chapter 310 The Bulls See Hope of Winning the Series
The Bulls attacked, Mobley broke through for a layup, and was slapped by Zhao Dong, who sank back to the basket.

As big as picking up the ball, the Knicks played a quick counterattack.

Zhao Dong advanced with the ball, but was unable to advance quickly due to Mobley's interference, but the other four quickly rushed to the frontcourt, including Dazhi.

Both Madman and Barkley stopped on the three-point line, and Dazhi and Fortson rushed to the paint area and pulled left and right, and the Bulls' basket was empty.

At this time, Zhao Dong came down from the top of the arc with the ball. Rasheed Wallace and Kurt Thomas, who were chasing Dazhi and Fordson, had no choice but to return to the basket, double-team Zhao Dong, and let them go.

Zhao Dong went to the basket, but the ball flew to Dazhi.

Big enough to catch the ball on the right wing, open a jumper, and hit a ball.

Bulls attack.

Rasheed Wallace received the ball in the low post on the right wing, and the single was big.

At this time, Zhao Dong, who was at the top of the paint, suddenly came down to help defend, and Rasheed Wallace was forced to speed up his shot. He turned around and shot a jumper hastily, but was slapped down by a big slap.

"Beautiful! As big as sending out a big hat." Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.

Zhao Dong grabbed the ball, immediately turned around and played a defensive counterattack, assisting the madman, who dunked the ball.

Ten seconds later, Kidd advanced to the top of the arc, and the madman came up close.

At this moment, Zhao Dong on the free throw line suddenly jumped to the top of the arc and double-teamed Kidd with the madman.

"Snapped!"

Kidd made a mistake and the ball was knocked down by Zhao Dong.

Zhao Dong steals a ball, takes advantage of the situation and quickly plays a fast break.

"Smash it! Smash it..."

Looking at Zhao Dong who was rushing forward, and there was no Bulls defender in front of him, all the Knicks fans instantly became excited and shouted wildly.

"boom!"

Zhao Dong also became excited, and after flying 18 meters, he flew up. His core strength beyond the limit exploded in an instant, and a ferocious dunk smashed the Bulls' backboard in an instant.

"yeah!"

Madison Square Garden boiled instantly, cheering and shouting, like an erupting volcano.

"The animal!"

Looking at the exploded backboard, the shocked Jordan swears directly.

"Oh hoo..."

The on-site commentator let out a strange cry and roared excitedly: "Notify the warehouse quickly. If the stock is not enough, let the supplier replenish it immediately."

"Yeah! 4800 million, our ratings have broken the historical record." In the ABC live broadcast, Cook shouted excitedly.

"It will still be promoted, and many people would like to see the dragon smash the Bulls' backboard again." Hubie Brown laughed.

The game was forced into a timeout, and both sides went off the court.

"Hey, Jordan, I told them just now, don't let me break in again, let me in, and I'll change the board for you."

When passing by the Bulls bench, Zhao Dong provocatively said.

"Be careful not to break your hand," Jordan retorted.

At this time, the Knicks' cheerleading team came on stage, the music sounded, and the girls danced happily.

"Don't worry, change slowly and give Feilong some time." Neil Grant ran to the staff and reminded.

"We know, Mr. Grant." Several staff members laughed.

10 minutes later, the new rebound is still being debugged.

Hubie Brown complained: "We have to be prepared. I'm afraid this game will take ten hours."

Cook laughed and said: "Then the advertisers are the happiest."

After another 5 minutes, the rebound was finally replaced and the game restarted.

After several rounds, the first quarter ended and the two sides returned to the bench.

21:28, the Knicks lead by 7 point.

赵东首攻主攻，10投6中，1个三分，5罚5中，砍下18分2助攻2抢断3盖帽2失误1犯规的数据，攻防两端都很强势。

But the turnover was a little higher, with two turnovers in one quarter, which exceeded the normal state.

"Feilong, are you going to play in the second quarter?" Old Nelson asked.

"Yes." Zhao Dong nodded.

"Then you will focus on organization and defense in the second quarter, save your energy." Old Nelson said.

On the Bulls bench, Phil Jackson analyzed: "Dragon is likely to play the whole game, we must be prepared to fight physically.

Michael, you play in the second quarter, focusing on offense and leaving the defense to others. "

He is worried that Jordan is too old to invest in both offense and defense at the same time. Now that the score is behind, Jordan can only focus on scoring.

"Jason, you have to be ready to play the whole court, we need your organization." He said to Kidd again.

"I can." Kidd nodded.

The second quarter begins.

The Bulls sent a three-back combination of Jordan, Kidd, and Mobley. Jordan played small forward, and veterans Ewing and Kurt Thomas were inside. The lineup is not weak.

For the Knicks, Zhao Dong and Hu Weidong, Barkley, Dazhi and Kevin Willis.

"Three in the same field, let's see if we can play a few wonderful cooperation." Zhang Lili laughed.

"This lineup should still be a tactic of rushing points. It depends on whether it is Zhao Dong's breakthrough or Hu Weidong's breakthrough." Sun Zhenping said.

Bulls attack.

Ewing and Kurt Thomas pulled to the low positions on the left and right wings, and Dazhi and Willis defended the two.

"Open the inside line and hit the score." Zhang Lili immediately analyzed.

But no, the Bulls still played triangle tactics, and Kidd gave the ball to Ewing in the low post on the left wing, allowing him to single up.

As big as coming off the bench in the last 4 minutes of the first quarter, he scored two points, sent a block, and grabbed a rebound. His performance was not bad, but Zhao Dong's main attack did not have many opportunities for him.

At this time, he was behind Ewing, and raised his left hand high to prevent Ewing from shooting.

"Defensive shot is not anti-burst, the defensive choice is right, Ewing no longer has the ability to rush in and fight." Seeing this, Zhang Lili shouted.

Ewing dribbled the ball twice, and just as he was about to turn around and shoot a jump shot, Zhao Dong, who was defending Jordan above him, suddenly turned around and jumped down. He quickly pulled the ball up and passed it to Jordan on the left-wing three-point line.

In order to prevent the ball from being intercepted by Zhao Dong, it was a lob, so Zhao Dong was given time to defend Jordan.

When Jordan received the ball, Zhao Dong was already one step away. He immediately jumped up and shot a three-pointer.

And the moment he took off, Zhao Dong jumped up.

Jordan knew that Zhao Dong's ability to stay in the air was terrifying, so even if he was outside the three-point line, he used a fallback.

But this time, Zhao Dong didn't block the block on the spot, but swooped in. When he leaned back, Zhao Dong's big hand still drew over quickly.

"Snapped!"

As soon as the ball was released, it was picked up by a big hand.

"Oh, beautiful, Feilong sent out the big hat, this is his fourth big hat." The on-site commentator shouted loudly.

Zhao Dong flew past Jordan, landed and took another two steps, jumped up, caught the falling ball, landed on the center line, and then rushed into the frontcourt with the ball.

"Without a defender, will Feilong smash the backboard again?" the on-site commentator roared excitedly.

Everyone in the audience, including countless fans in front of the TV, was staring at Zhao Dong who rushed into the paint, waiting for the moment when he smashed the backboard.

But no, the second quarter just started, Zhao Dong didn't want the game to become too fragmented.

"boom!"

Taking off from the free throw line with one step, he smashed the dunk with a one-armed tomahawk, and amidst the splashes, the violent sound of exploding baskets made the scene boil.

Bulls attack.

Jordan and Mobley play pick-and-roll tactics, and then the former cuts in, attracting the Knicks' defensive attention. Kidd assists Mobley who cuts out and hits a three-pointer.

Knicks attack.

The Bulls still defended in the first quarter, preventing Zhao Dong from breaking through above the free throw line, and stopping him from the very beginning of the break.

But the Bulls did not expect that Zhao Dong would not be the main attacker in the second quarter.

Zhao Dong held the ball and did not go to the top of the arc, but came to the left wing.

His position is close to the left line, pulling the Bulls' defensive formation to the left wing, leaving the right wing empty, and a large gap behind the Bulls.

On the right wing, Hu Weidong is waiting for an opportunity.

When Jordan was about to post it, Zhao Dong began to change direction and break through. First, he broke through to the lower left bottom corner. After crossing the dotted line of the free throw line, he began to squeeze Jordan with his body and crush the breakthrough inside.

His strong breakthrough immediately attracted the Bulls' double-team. At this time, Hu Weidong on the right wing suddenly started and cut back to the basket.

"behind."

Kidd, who double-teamed Zhao Dong, noticed Hu Weidong's back cut, and immediately shouted.

At this moment, Zhao Dong passed the ball, and a through ball as accurate as a scalpel flew from between Jordan and Kidd to the paint area.

Hu Weidong cut into the paint, the ball flew straight from the gap, he caught the ball with both hands, and jumped up to meet Ewing who was turning around under the basket.

Ewing also jumped up and reached out to seal Hu Weidong.

However, he found that the ball was a bit off.

The next moment, the ball flew past his head.

"not good!"

He thought of his former teammate Zhong Wang, who was facing him, and quickly turned back to defend after landing, but it was too late. As soon as he turned around, Dazhi behind him jumped up.

"boom!"

At the same time as the basket was blown, Ewing was knocked to the ground, and the referee's whistle blew.

Amid the cheers of the audience, the referee pointed at Ewing, blocked the foul, and even added a free throw.

"The ball was played so beautifully. Hu Weidong was very calm when he passed the ball patiently under the basket." Zhang Lili said excitedly.

As big as an additional penalty hit, the Bulls attacked.

The Bulls couldn't defend against the Knicks' offense, but their own offense played well.

Kidd broke through and gave Jordan a shot.

With the Knicks attacking and the inside line widening, Hu Weidong made a back cut again and got a pass from Zhao Dong. Then, like last time, facing the Bulls' shrinking defense, he chose to split the ball and gave it to the open Barkley. Bark Lee made a shot.

"China Hu's scoring at the basket is good, and he is not greedy for credit." Hubie Brown praised.

Looking back, Kidd felt the touch and actually made a three-pointer.

After the second quarter, 48:54, the Knicks led by 6 points, and the score did not widen.

Zhao Dong scored 6 points in the second quarter, sent [-] assists, and sent [-] blocked shots. He has sent [-] blocks in a single game.

During the intermission, Hubie Brown analyzed: "Both sides' offenses are very strong. In the first quarter, the Knicks scored very concentratedly. Feilong played alone, but the second quarter scored scattered. This is also a good game, but he reduced the score. Offensively, the Knicks' overall offensive efficiency has declined somewhat.

The Knicks score less inside, mainly on the outside, and the shooting percentage from the outside rarely reaches [-]%, but the flying dragon's shooting percentage is more than [-]%, which is why the more he passes, the team's overall shooting percentage The lower the reason.

But the ball still has to be passed, otherwise all the Bulls' defense will be concentrated on him, and the offense of his teammates can open up the defense for him.

As for the Bulls, the scoring has been very average and they are scoring, which makes the Knicks not very easy to defend, and the offense is also very good.

In tonight's game, it is likely that there will not be such a big point difference, and the score should be even more anxious in the second half. "

Brown's words were right, until the end of the third quarter, 72:76, the Knicks lost by two points in the third quarter and only led by 4 points.

In the third quarter, Zhao Dong strengthened his personal offense and added low-post offense.

Because Zhao Dong's assists and passing ability are too strong, in order to prevent him from splitting the ball, the Bulls did not double-team in the low post, and only let Oakley's home team, Rasheed Wallace, assist on the weak side.

Oakley's tonnage and strength are not enough, but his defensive actions are extremely fierce. He adopts an interference close-fitting defense, avoiding the referee's sight and constantly raising his elbows, which affects Zhao Dong's offensive actions.

Then Roaring Tianzun's quick weak-side defense is also very good. He has double-teamed with Oakley many times and defended in a fighting style, which made Zhao Dong's low-post efficiency not as good as before. Zhao Dong also took a big hat from Oakley. He made 9 of 5 shots and 5 of 4 free throws in a single quarter, scoring 14 points.

The low post shooting rate of less than 60% is not as high as Tim Duncan's low post offensive efficiency. Duncan's basket and near the basket combined exceed [-]% shooting rate, which shows the strong defense of Oakley and Roaring Tianzun.

At the same time, Zhao Dong made another mistake in the third quarter, making three mistakes in the third quarter.

This result made many people excited.

Although the score was behind, Phil Jackson saw the hope of winning, because today he was on the outside and in the low post, which reduced Zhao Dong's offensive efficiency.

For outside defense, he relied on the defensive concept that Duncan said to limit Zhao Dong's ability to get rid of, plus some ideas of his own, to form a comprehensive defensive strategy.

The inside line relies on people, and he was right to sign Oakley in.

If he can find a bigger tonnage than Oakley, who moves extremely fast in the low post, but defends the same fierce inside line, the defensive effect will be better. Oakley's tonnage is still a little smaller, and he can't stand up to Zhao Dong.

If he can get Ben Wallace from the Knicks?
Although Ben Wallace's tonnage is not enough, his upper body strength is strong enough. I heard that the maximum bench press even surpassed the postman. Although the effect of defending tall centers is not good because of his height, Zhao Dong is not much in front of Ben Wallace. The height advantage should have a good defensive effect.

Hubie Brown said with a smile: "The defense in the third quarter was dominated by Oakley, and he limited the dragon's offense very well in the low post.

Now it seems that the Bulls are right to recruit Oakley. Oakley knows the dragon too well, and his defense is fierce. His big moves limit the dragon.

Coupled with Roaring Tianzun's assistance defense, the two reduced Feilong's offensive efficiency in the low post by at least ten percent.It may be the difference of one or two goals, two or three points, but this is already a defensive effect that others cannot achieve. "

In the final quarter, due to the Bulls' flanking tactics and the restriction of the Flying Dragon Law, Zhao Dong's outside breakthrough ability was limited, and he continued to attack in the low post.

This time, he was more trying to force his way to the basket.

The reason is very simple, because Oakley has committed 5 offenses and Rashid has also committed 4 offenses. Although his efficiency has been affected, it has also caused a strong lethality to the two.

In the 5th minute of the last quarter, with only 115 seconds left, the killing tactics finally paid off. Oakley made six fouls and was sent off. The Bulls also called a timeout.

Taking down Oakley would cut off half of the Bulls' inside line. The Bulls can only deploy Kurt Thomas, but the effect of defending Zhao Dong is not as good as Oakley.

In the 10th minute of the last quarter, Zhao Dong made 7 of 5 shots, and his shooting percentage was higher than that of the third quarter, reaching 7%. Three times two plus one.

It is this powerful lethality that allowed him to get 12 free throw opportunities in two quarters. Relying on free throws, he led the team to widen the point difference, and the Bulls called a timeout again.

Hubie Brown analyzed: "Flying Dragon made 16 of 10 shots in two quarters and 12 of 11 free throws. He scored 29 points in the second half and shot 62.5% from the field. It has reached 65%. So, his efficiency in the fourth quarter has recovered a little bit, although it is still not as good as the regular season, but it is already good, so the Knicks lead more."

Cook analyzed: "The increase in efficiency is due to his lethality, which has deterred the Bulls inside. But even so, the Bulls still paid a great price inside, and Oakley, the pillar of the inside, was beaten down."

During the CCTV live broadcast, Zhang Reasonable analyzed: "Although the game is not over yet, I think the Knicks' general trend is set and victory is in sight."

He was right. After the timeout ended, Jordan made a shot. Looking back, Zhao Dong played a fast break. Not only did he dunk the ball, but he also caused Rasheed's sixth foul.

The two main players were sent off one after another. The Bulls collapsed inside and were unable to save the defeat at the last moment. The inside rebounds and defense were gone, 100:109, and finally lost the G1 game.

赵东31投19中，三分球3投1中，20罚18中，砍下57分7助攻3抢断7盖帽4失误4犯规的数据。

Jordan was a little disappointed, but this game gave him hope of winning the series.

"Phil, on the defensive end we still have some details that we can do better. As long as we reduce his shooting percentage to below 60%, we can win him."

"Given him too many free throws tonight, a lot to blow and not blow, but this is his home court."

"We're going to win an away game, come home and we'll have an advantage."

"Yes."

As they left the court, Jordan and Phil Jackson discussed.
