NBA Dynasty Sniper

Chapter 331
On the afternoon of the 15th, the two teams arrived in New York one after another.

At five o'clock, Zhao Dong returned home. Lindsay had already left work early and was waiting for him at home.

"Husband, the fund's redemption volume has suddenly skyrocketed in the past few days, and the impact of our bearish outlook has begun to appear."

"Will it affect the speed of shipment?"

"Not for the time being, we have already cashed out more than 500 billion yuan, plus the 200 billion reserved, it is enough."

"The most important goal of releasing the news that we are bearish on the market outlook is to lay a reputation foundation for the establishment of an investment bank in the future, and lay a foundation for us to recruit funds again. As long as the US stock market plummets next year, our storm will become the investment bank with the most strategic vision. So the current difficulties are not important, as long as we can survive these few months."

"Honey, the playoffs are over tomorrow, what's your plan?" Lindsay asked suddenly.

Zhao Dong thought for a while and said, "You decide, shall we go on a trip?"

Lindsay's eyes lit up, but she turned to lament: "How can I be free, husband, I'm so busy!"

Zhao Dong said with a smile: "Aiweier, you just need to take care of the general direction, and let your subordinates do other things. In the future, investment banks and domestic groups will be established, and there will be more things, so you have to prepare now. Don't do everything yourself."

"Husband, I think I'm best at finance. After the establishment of a domestic group, I still need to hire a suitable CEO." Lin Saidao.

"Yes, we are only investors, and the management is left to professional managers." Zhao Dong laughed.

"By the way, husband, you asked me to inquire. There are indeed several teams in the NBA that are planning to sell. The U.S. stock market has skyrocketed several times, and the prices of various assets have soared. Some owners are going to cash out at high positions." Lin Saidao.

"You guys are too much, you actually leave us a ticket?"

As soon as they checked into the hotel, the Spurs management was notified by the Knicks management that they did not prepare tickets for the fans of the visiting team in the G5 game, and they were so angry that they almost vomited blood.

"I'm thinking about your fans. Tomorrow's tickets are very expensive. The mountain top ticket is [-] dollars. Are you sure you must prepare it for the Spurs fans? Then let me make it clear. Once you don't sell these tickets If you drop it, you have to pay the money, this is the rule of the alliance."

Knicks president of operations Lewis said.

"..."

The Spurs President of Operations Phils shuddered when he heard the price. How can San Antonio fans afford this price?
"How about I leave ten for you?" Lewis said.

"No need." Phils almost died of anger.

In the evening, Zhao Dong called Jordan.

"Feilong, do you have anything to do with me?" Jordan answered the phone and asked on the other end.

"Michael, we are defending the dynasty tomorrow, you have to be there, right?" Zhao Dong laughed.

"what?"

Jordan was so angry that he didn't know what to say, you are defending the dynasty, and you need me to step up for you, can you ascend to the throne?

"I have news that several teams are going to be sold, but if you want to buy it, it may be very difficult, because now the team has appreciated several times in value with the skyrocketing US stock market, you know that. For example, the Mavericks who want to sell, the asking price 2.8 million dollars, if you want to be the owner of the team, I think you will know how to do it." Zhao Dong laughed.

"I'll go back to New York right away." Jordan on the other end said immediately.

Jordan's dream is to own a team, and as a big boss, but he doesn't have that much money now, and the only person who can help him is Zhao Dong.

Zhao Dong is a shareholder of Nike, and he owns Nike's MJ brand. As long as Zhao Dong is willing, he can mortgage the MJ brand in exchange for Zhao Dong's support, and this is the only way he can become the big boss of a team.

On the 16nd, the day of the G5 finals.

"Knicks' Dynasty Reign Is Unstoppable!" The New York Times.

"Dragon's stabbing is a foregone conclusion!" New York Sports News.

"Dynasty! Dynasty! Dynasty..."

Under the rendering of the media, Knicks fans gathered at Madison Square Garden from noon on this day, bursting into shouts from time to time.

At 06:30, the Knicks bus arrived at the Plaza Garden and was warmly welcomed by countless fans.

Numerous stars and football stars have also visited this holy place of basketball, decorating it with starlight.

Jordan stepped into the scene and was immediately surrounded by the media.

"Michael, you were in Las Vegas yesterday, did you come to New York on purpose today?" a reporter asked.

"Of course." Jordan laughed.

"Do you think the Knicks can complete the dynasty tonight?"

"Sure, the Spurs can't stop the Knicks' reigning dynasty."

"why?"

"The Spurs are too weak outside, and their lineup has natural flaws."

"You once said that if the Knicks complete the defense of the dynasty, then Feilong is qualified to be called the God of Efficiency, and he is No.1 in active service. Do you still admit that now?"

Hearing this question, Jordan secretly sighed in his heart, the god of efficiency, what is the difference between this and the god of basketball?
This was originally his glory. As long as he didn't interfere with the management's operations three years ago, Feilong would stay with the Bulls. He was out, Feilong was in the low post, playing dual-core tactics inside and outside, and he could defend the title ten more times.

"I'll admit it. Actually, I've retired and he's already No.1 in active service."

In order to get Zhao Dong's help and become the big boss of the team, he could only hold his nose and admit it.

At this time, O'Neal walked in, saw Jordan being interviewed, and hurried over and said, "Michael, why don't you retire, you come to the Lakers, and we can play a dynasty together?"

Kobe, who was following O'Neal, had his nose crooked. Damn shark, I'm just showing up. You brought Jordan in, did you make me go back to the bench?

But he was worried for nothing, Jordan said to O'Neill disdainfully: "Shaq, you are too lazy, I am not interested in being your boss."

"Puff!" Kobe laughed.

O'Neal blinked his eyes, and thought to himself, Michael, you didn't understand what I meant, I mean, I am the boss, you come and hug my thigh, and we will fuck the dragon together.

But he dared not say it out of his courage.

At [-]:[-], Lindsay led people into the scene and became the brightest star tonight.

At 07:30, the two teams announced their starters.

Spurs: David Robinson, Tim Duncan, Sean Elliott, Mario Ellis, Avery Johnson

Knicks: Wang Zhizhi, Danny Fortson, Barkley, Latrell Sprewell, Zhao Dong
Zhang rationally analyzed: "The Spurs switched back to Sean Elliott's starting lineup, but the Spurs' outside line is not strong enough, which is a flaw, and Popovich can't change this.

The Spurs are strong enough on the inside, and against other teams, even the Lakers can beat them. But against the Knicks, when Zhao Dong came to the first position, the weakness of the Spurs outside was infinitely magnified. The back line is too luxurious. In comparison, the Spurs' back line is weak. "

Sun Zhenping said: "The Spurs will definitely have to struggle tonight. Their strength lies in the interior. They strive to play high-quality low-post offense to offset the loss of points from the outside."

Zhang Lili smiled and said: "It's not just the loss of points from the outside line, but after the outside line is blown up, the Spurs twin towers will be directly exposed to the impact of Zhao Dong and the madman.

It doesn't matter if it's an ordinary outside line, the Spurs twin towers are not vegetarians, they are both top defensive fighters, but is Zhao Dong an ordinary person? "

At [-]:[-], the starter starts.

"Dynasty! Dynasty! Dynasty..."

When the home team played, the audience exploded, and the decibels were so high that they could deafen the ears.

Zhao Dong took over the host's mic, and announced his announcement tonight to the audience in a passionate tone: "Everyone, we will trample on the Spurs tonight!"

"Trample on the spurs..." the audience chanted.

"Tonight we will defend the dynasty!" Zhao Dong continued to shout.

"dynasty……"

Nearly [-] fans shouted instantly.

"Tonight, we will achieve greatness!" Zhao Dong continued to shout.

"Great! Great! Great..." The audience was boiling, and the atmosphere at home was blazing.

"great……"

The veteran Barkley was chanting along with the fans in the audience. This home field fascinated him. He seemed to see the finals ring waving towards him.

At eight o'clock, the game begins.

Dazhi and Duncan jumped the ball, and the Knicks attacked.

Zhao Dong held the ball on the left-wing three-point line, and the Spurs immediately double-teamed the outside line, and Fordson was emptied.

Robinson was pulled out of the paint by Barkley, Duncan was also pulled out by Dazhi, and Fortson immediately cut to the basket.

Duncan could only return to the basket immediately, because he was pulled to the right corner, and Robinson came back too far, and he was closer to the paint area, so that Barkley would have an open space.

Double-teaming Zhao Dong is the Spurs point guard and small forward. The two adopted the Bulls' defensive method, that is, blocking Zhao Dong's position in advance to prevent him from rushing in and forcing him to shoot in the double-team.

The Bulls have proved that this kind of perimeter double-teaming tactic can limit Zhao Dong's efficiency, so the Spurs want to try it.

Popovich has never played this kind of tactic, not because he didn't want to play, but because he didn't have enough defensive strength on the outside, and he didn't have the capital to play. Tonight is also the last chance.

However, Zhao Dong immediately let him down.

But Zhao Dong did not pass his breakthrough, but a simple pass, which broke the Spurs' outside double-team, and he gave the ball to Barkley who was emptied below.

In this way, Sean Elliott immediately defended Barkley, and Zhao Dong took the opportunity to knock away the general Johnson, and while rushing to the paint area, he reached out to Barkley for the ball.

Barkley made a pass back and Zhao Dong caught the ball and went into the paint.

This time, Duncan was directly exposed to Zhao Dong's firepower.

With Fordson behind, Duncan couldn't leave the reasonable collision zone, and Zhao Dong flew towards the basket without hesitation.

"boom!"

The basket was blown, and Duncan was knocked over while being dunked.

"Di!"

The referee blew his whistle, pointed at Duncan, and gestured for a thug foul. Zhao Dongjia made a free throw.

"Foul on the first ball, the Spurs are too difficult to play."

Matt analyzed: "This is caused by the failure of the outside double-team. Sean Elliott and Jr. Johnson were unable to cut off the dragon's pass when they were double-teaming, and their double-teaming was easily broken.

In fact, this is the weakness of the Spurs, the outside line is too weak.When the Bulls double-teamed the Dragon on the outside, Jordan and McGrady were able to limit the Dragon to a certain extent because they could limit the passing of the Dragon, and finally forced the Dragon to make a forced shot in the outside double-team. "

Bill Walton also analyzed: "After entering the Eastern Conference Finals, especially after entering the Finals, Coach Nelson put Wang and Barkley on the starting lineup.

The two of them can pull out the Spurs twin towers. This is their role, and this is also the tactical intention of the old Nelson.

If you continue to use the inside starting lineup of the regular season, and Ben Wallace and Fortson play at the same time, the Spurs will not be able to pull out the twin towers. The four insiders are crowded in the paint, and it will be difficult for the Dragons to break in. "

Matt laughed: "So in terms of the use of players and the construction of tactics, Coach Nelson is indeed very capable."

"In such an important finals, I admire him for daring to use people." Bill Walton laughed.

Matt said: "In fact, Barkley rested for almost the entire season, and Wang only averaged 10 minutes per game in the regular season. Issues with starting insiders."

"Don't brag about him too much. His tactical use is also limited by players. If the Knicks didn't have a variety of players, plus a flying dragon who can play at all positions, he can't do anything. Now he can play whatever tactics he wants. Yes, the Spurs can only be manipulated." Bill Walton laughed.

On the court, the Spurs attack.

Duncan and Robinson entered the basket at the same time, making full use of their height advantage. As long as the outside line can pass the ball to their hands, the probability of success is very high.

Two insiders are inside and three outsiders are outside. They perform frequent ball transfers to pull the Knicks' perimeter defense.

"boom!"

Duncan received the ball and was blocked by the big one. He passed it to Robinson on the other side of the basket. The latter jumped directly and dunked Fortson, who was only 201 cm tall.

Knicks attack.

Dazhi and Barkley still pulled out, then Fordson cut to the basket, Duncan returned to the basket, and then Barkley came out empty.

Little General Johnson and Sean Elliott tried their best to stop Zhao Dong from passing the ball, but their defensive ability was not enough.

Defense, in addition to the most important attitude, is also about talent.

Easy to eat, this is not enough defensive talent.

The four arms waved in front of him like wheels, preventing Zhao Dong from passing the ball. He only made one movement, and all the defense of the two was wasted.

Grabbing the ball with one hand with his right hand, he suddenly threw it towards Barkley. This action immediately shook the two's center of gravity and defensive attention. Even Sean Elliott immediately turned around and looked at Barkley behind him. .

But Zhao Dong didn't pass the ball. After the two of them were shaking, he turned around and rushed past the little general Johnson on the right, entering the paint area.

"I was stunned again." Bill Wharton shook his head.

This time, Robinson returned to defense earlier.

Zhao Dong saw it and passed the ball directly to Dazhi in the right corner.

Robinson was dumbfounded, and looked back at Da Zhi, who was five meters away. It was no good to return to the defense, and it was not the same to not return to the defense. It was a dilemma.

So big as to calmly aim at the basket and then jump shot.

At the basket, Zhao Dong, Fortson, and Barkley, who rushed in, surrounded Duncan and blocked Robinson from the outside. Even if the rebound was too big to miss, there was a [-]% chance that the rebound would belong to the Knicks.

"Shh!"

It's so big that it didn't disappoint, he was very accurate with three-pointers with such a wide open.

The Spurs attacked, and the Twin Towers still entered the basket at the same time, giving full play to their height advantage.

But this time, Zhao Dong restricted the little general Johnson, a sudden and extremely fast stealing action, forcing Johnson to turn around and join the ball to protect the ball, and the ball died in his hands.

The Madman then intercepted Johnson's pass to Mario Eli and played a fast break.

The Spurs attack again.

Zhao Dong and Madman once again made a successful defense, using a double-team, forcing the general Johnson to make a pass error, and the ball passed to Duncan directly passed the baseline.

"The Knicks' back line is a true All-Star combination, and the Spurs' back line is weak." Bill Walton laughed.

The Knicks attacked, and this time Zhao Dong assisted Barkley, who made a mid-range open jumper and hit a goal.

Looking back, Duncan scored a goal at the basket.

The Knicks attacked, and Zhao Dong once again broke through the outside double-team and rushed to the paint.

This time, the Spurs were in a difficult situation. Duncan didn't dare to short Barkley too much, and Robinson didn't dare to short Dazhi too much. But with Zhao Dong's breakthrough, they could only be forced to return to the basket at the same time. Barkley and Dazhi were simultaneously emptied.

Zhao Dong passed the ball to Dazhi, but Dazhi missed the shot this time.

The Knicks formed a three-on-two under the basket. Zhao Dong grabbed the offensive rebound and turned back with a brutal one-handed dunk, which not only dunked Robinson, but also caused a blocking foul by Robinson.

Robinson was held back by Fortson, did not jump up, and lost a foul for nothing.

After the first quarter, the general trend was clear. At 14:26, the Knicks led by 12 points.

Bill Walton laughed: "Actually, before the finals, I couldn't imagine that the Spurs would be so weak against the Knicks."

Matt said: "The Spurs are really strong this season. Even O'Neal fell under the hands of the Twin Towers. They really have the strength to compete with the Knicks."

Bill Walton said: "But when the dragon reached the No. 12 position, the Knicks' back line was infinitely strengthened, while the Spurs' back line was infinitely weakened, so we are now seeing a game where the Spurs trailed by [-] points in a single quarter."

Matt said with a smile: "No matter how strong the Spurs are, they also need to be restrained by outside forces. When the outside line is blown up on both offense and defense, they will be alone and helpless."

Bill Walton said with a smile: "Not only that, they are not only isolated and helpless, if this is the only problem, then the Spurs Twin Towers can also blow up the Knicks inside, even if the Dragon enters the inside on the defensive end, the Spurs Twin Towers still have the advantage.

In fact, after Feilong took the No. 3 position, he seldom went inside on the defensive end. He was always on the outside ready to play defensive counterattacks, so the Knicks were at a disadvantage inside since G[-]. The Twin Towers had already blown the Knicks inside line.

But why did the Spurs still lose so simply after having an advantage in the paint?

Because after their outside line was blown up, the Spurs twin towers directly faced the impact of the flying dragon, coupled with the madman's weak side cut, all the factors added up to lead to the defeat of the Spurs.

Therefore, if a team wants to beat the Knicks, the perimeter defense must be strong, and it must limit the breakthrough of the Dragon, just like the Bulls, forcing the Dragon to give up the outside offense and turn to the low post, and then find a way in the low post. "

"The Bulls did manage to push the Dragon into the low post, but it still lost," Matt said suddenly.

Bill Walton was stunned, shook his head and smiled, "That's the Bulls' inside line. Whether it's Rasheed Wallace or Oakley, which one has the ability to attract double teams? The Knicks don't even double team Jordan. It is to force Jordan to play singles and limit others to death. This is another application of Jordan's law.

The Spurs are different. The Spurs' twin towers need double teams. Even Robinson is as old as Jordan, but he is closer to the basket. The Knicks can play Jordan in singles, but they will not let Robinson play singles under the basket.

If the Spurs can force the dragon to the low post, then the Spurs may really play a completely different game, but the Spurs are too weak outside. "
