Chapter 389 The Shark Shows His Power, Super Efficient

Kobe made a free throw, 8:5, the Knicks also led by 3 points, and the Lakers attacked.

Next, the two sides continued the intense offensive and defensive battle.

O'Neal singled out Fortson under the basket. Although Zhao Dong frequently returned to the basket, but most of the time he was too late, so O'Neal's offense under the basket was very good.

But his physical energy consumption is not small. Although Fortson can't guard against him, he works very hard. Every time he wants a seat, he has to do his best to squeeze in.

As for the Knicks, Zhao Dong continued to attack with all his strength, frequently playing efficient fast breaks when the offense and defense switched, and the offense and defense rhythm was very fast.

10 minutes before the end of the game, at 29:26, the Knicks led by 3 points.

During the timeout, Barkley analyzed: "The offense and defense in the first quarter were very fast, and the score was high, because the offensive efficiency of both sides is very high."

"Yes, the Lakers focus on Shaquille O'Neal's offense at the basket, while the Knicks use fast breaks and flying dragons. Neither side can defend against the other's offense."

Kenny Smith said.

Barkley said with a smile: "What I am most concerned about now is whether the Dragons can break Thomas' record of 25 points in the Finals."

"There is no doubt that this is another battle." Zhang Lili said.

Su Qun took a look at the stat sheet and said with a smile: "O'Neal made 10 of 10 shots and 7 of 5 free throws in 3 minutes. Today, he made a good free throw percentage and scored 17 points.

And Zhao Dong, in order to counteract O'Neal's efficient offense at the basket, went all out in the first quarter, making 13 of 10 shots, of which 5% made 2 fast breaks, plus 2 of 22 free throws, scoring [-] points.

Director Zhang, do you think he can break Thomas' record of 25 points in a single quarter of the finals in the first quarter today? "

"Three points tied, four points broke the record, and there are still 2 minutes left. With today's offensive rhythm, I think breaking this historical record today should be a certainty, right?" Zhang Reasonable said with a smile.

The timeout ends, the game restarts, and the Lakers attack.

O'Neal didn't play, and went to Big Ben.

Kobe took over the offense, made a fake shot and made a real shot. After he shot past Stackhouse, he stopped for a jumper and hit a mid-range shot.

Knicks attack.

Willis and Trent were on the inside line, Fortson and Ginobili went down, Zhao Dong went to the first position on the outside line, and Marion was at the third position.

Zhao Dong controlled the ball and approached the top of the arc.

"How do the Lakers defend?" Barkley asked loudly.

On the field, when Zhao Dong approached the top of the arc, Kobe defended him, and Glen Rice released Marion to double-team him from the left.

According to what Zhao Dong told him yesterday, Marion cut in immediately.

Ben and Horry have been pulled out of the basket by Willis and Trent. Seeing Marion cutting to the basket, Ben immediately chooses to return to the basket.

Zhao Dong was facing double-teaming, and he didn't come by himself. He played for 10 minutes, focused on attacking with all his strength, and his physical fitness was also exhausted. He wanted to take a break, and chose to pass the ball to Willis who was let go. Running to the basket, ready to grab a rebound.

Willis received the ball two steps from the paint on the left wing, stepped forward and made an open jumper.

"Attack yourself, Feilong, you won't notice that you are about to break the record, right?"

In the live broadcast of CCTV, Su Qun yelled regretfully when he saw that Zhao Dong had passed the ball.

Zhang Lili explained with a smile: "He should know, but a record and victory in this game, he chose the latter.

After all, no matter how strong his physical fitness is, he can't dominate the whole team's offense. His teammates have a good chance, so he must choose to pass the ball. Otherwise, his teammates will not be able to touch the ball for a long time. Firstly, his enthusiasm will be affected, and secondly, his touch will be cold. . "

31:28, the Lakers attack.

Harper advanced in the backcourt, and Zhao Dong retreated and defended. When he retreated to the top of the arc, he caught Harper's ball and dribbled it to the floor, and suddenly made a steal.

Harper was a little negligent, and that dribble was a little high, which is why Zhao Dong suddenly launched a steal.

Sure enough, as soon as he made a move, Harper had no time to pull the ball up, and the ball was taken away by him.

"It's over!"

Barkley yelled immediately when he saw Zhao Dong steal the ball in the backcourt.

Sure enough, in the next second, Zhao Dong turned around and rushed up to Harper, who was about to counterattack, and reached the top of the arc. Three steps later, there was a one-arm dunk after a 360-degree rotation, which won the cheers of [-] away fans Voice.

Even a large number of home fans, seeing this wonderful dunk, couldn't help clapping their hands and cheering for it.

"You traitors."

Seeing a large number of Lakers fans cheering for Zhao Dong, the on-site commentator said helplessly.

Barkley laughed and said: "It seems that Feilong's physical fitness is not a problem. He actually dazzled in the most critical G3 game of the finals. Only he can play."

"In addition, I want to remind Feilong, you have scored 24 points, you are only one point away from Thomas' record, and you are only two points away from breaking his record. Now there are 69 seconds left, and you still have a lot of time left." opportunity," Smith laughed.

"Pay attention to the support in the backcourt, and don't make unnecessary mistakes."

Phil Jackson shouted and clapped his hands to cheer for the players.

This time, the Lakers were more cautious. Kobe and Harper advanced side by side, not giving Zhao Dong a chance to steal.

The last shot was made, and this time Kobe came again. He made a fake shot and hit a three-pointer over Stackhouse's head.

"Can you guard me? You even kill my shot."

After Kobe succeeded, he retreated to the backcourt and spat trash on Stackhouse.

"Don't talk like my boss, don't you have something innovative?" Stackhouse retorted.

At this time, Zhao Dong took the ball to the frontcourt, and Kobe immediately switched defenses with Glen Rice to stare at Zhao Dong.

But at this moment, taking advantage of the loophole of the defense switch, Stackhouse began to quickly cut to the basket.

Zhao Dong also quickly passed the ball here, Stackhouse caught the ball and rushed into the paint area, and jumped up to face Ben who returned to the basket.

But instead of a dunk, he made a throw.

"Snapped!"

Big Ben exploded. He, who has average block blocking ability, actually blocked the ball, which made Stackhouse a little confused.

The ball was blocked, Zhao Dong turned around and chased to the center line, and regained control of the ball before Kobe.

At this time, there was no time to attack. Under Kobe's pressure, he quickly shifted in a wide range and pulled to the left wing.

Marion on the three-point line rushed over to pick and roll, Zhao Dong used the wall to break through, and met Glenn Rice's defense, he suddenly took a step back and retreated outside the three-point line.

This sudden step back not only opened up the distance between him and Glen Rice, but also made Kobe, who was chasing after Marion, also miss an empty space. He got a small open opportunity.

Without hesitation, when the attack clock reached 22 seconds, he immediately made a jump shot.

"Go in!"

Su Qun shouted loudly at the CCTV live broadcast.

In the next moment, splashes appeared and a three-pointer was hit.

"Break the record! 27 points, 27 points in a single quarter, 27 points in a single quarter in the finals, the most points in a single quarter in the finals in league history..."

Su Qun roared excitedly.

"36:31, Feilong broke the record, and the Knicks also pulled the point difference to 5 points." Zhang Lili said happily.

Next, Kobe missed a goal, the Knicks counterattacked, Marion missed a jumper, and the first quarter ended.

In the second quarter of the game, because this is a game that the Lakers can't lose, it is the same as the first quarter, except for O'Neal, the other four players all played.

For the Knicks, Stackhouse played for 3 minutes, and Ginobili came up to replace him.

In terms of inside, without O'Neill, Willis and Trent can still stand up, no problem.

Small forward, Rodgers.

In this quarter, the Knicks didn't play fast break anymore, because Ginobili couldn't run anymore, and Rogers had mediocre speed and could only play positional battles.

Zhao Dong mainly played organization in the first 3 minutes, but his teammates were very tired, his touch was average, and his offensive efficiency was average. At 40:38, the Knicks only led by two points, so he could only resume offense.

But at this time O'Neill came up, and Da Ben went down.

The old Nelson also kept going, replacing Ginobili, who was in poor condition due to a physical breakdown, and replaced Marion.

But Marion is not good either. Although he is physically stronger than Ginobili, but a game is a bit chaotic, with frequent mistakes in tactical movement, poor shooting, poor timing of cuts, and successive mistakes in passing and receiving. Wasted the ball.

Barkley smiled and commented on Marion's performance, saying: "In the crucial finals G3 game, Sean Marion's performance was in line with the normal performance of a rookie."

After the first half, 55:58, the Knicks fell behind by 3 points.

In the second quarter, Zhao Dong made 8 of 6 shots and 1 of 1 free throw. He scored 13 points and scored 40 points in the halftime. His shooting percentage was 66%, which is amazing.

It's a pity that the rest of the Knicks are in a mediocre state.

Ginobili and Marion, two rookies, did not perform well in the away game. As soon as they got the ball, the home fans booed them, and the whistle was a bit harsh on them.

On the Lakers side, O'Neal made 19 of 18 shots and 13 of 9 free throws in 5 minutes of halftime. He scored 31 points, shooting 72.2% from the field and 55.5% from the free throw line. His efficiency was higher than that of Zhao Dong.

It is O'Neal's high efficiency, coupled with the fact that the efficiency of the Lakers' outside line is also higher than that of the Knicks' outside line, which made the Lakers lead the Knicks.

The team finally took the lead at halftime, the atmosphere in Staples was very high, and the momentum at home was gradually rising.

Barkley analyzed: "O'Neal's strong attack at the basket opened up space for the outside line. Not only did he play with high efficiency, but also allowed Kobe and Glenn Rice to play with high efficiency on the outside.

On the other hand, the Knicks don’t have O’Neal as the overlord of the basket. In the positional battle, the flying dragon’s impact on the inside line is not enough to open up space for the outside line. In addition, the state of the outside line is low, resulting in very low outside line efficiency, so the score lags behind. . "

Smith said with a smile: "Although Fortson is back, his own offense is mediocre, so he can't help the team on the offensive end. Although his presence has increased the Knicks' rebounds and defense inside, it also makes the Knicks' offense more effective. The ability is further weakened."

Barkley said: "He grabbed 7 rebounds in the half, and his performance was still good, but in terms of defense, he was still not as good as before, unable to withstand O'Neal's attack to the basket, and the knee injury had a great impact on him. "

At this time, in the CCTV live broadcast seat, Zhang Lili shook his head and said: "Marion made zero three shots in the second quarter and made as many as two turnovers. Rodgers was a little better, making one of four shots, and the two insiders made a few reverse shots. The ball, if Zhao Dong hadn't played efficiently, the point difference would have been even wider."

Su Qun said: "Director Zhang, Zhao Dong didn't take many shots in the second quarter. He played a few fast breaks and made a few shots from the outside. He didn't break through and hit O'Neal at the basket. It should be saving energy, right?"

"That's for sure. Reasonable deployment of physical fitness is the skill and experience that a superstar should possess." Zhang Lili laughed.

Su Qun laughed and said, "We scored 40 points in the first half. If Zhao Dong continues to attack in the second half, maybe he can beat Jordan's 69 points?"

Zhang Lili was taken aback, and after thinking about it, it was really possible, but considering the tactical changes and Zhao Dong's physical fitness, he said: "The Lakers' double-teaming of Zhao Dong has been significantly reduced today. If they strengthen their defense against him in the second half, then he will While the physical energy consumption increases, the efficiency will decrease to a certain extent, and there may also be changes that we don't want to see. We must also be mentally prepared for this.

O'Neal scored 31 points in the first half and played 19 minutes. His physical energy consumption must be very high. He must recover his physical energy in the second half. During this period, the Lakers will definitely increase their defense against Zhao Dong to reduce the Knicks. Offensive efficiency. "

He really said it, Phil Jackson was planning to increase the double-team defense against Zhao Dong in the third quarter.

At the beginning of the second half, O'Neal did not play, and sat off the court to rest and recover his physical fitness.

O'Neal's physical fitness is the key. Playing against the Knicks is different from playing against other teams. Playing against other teams, most of O'Neal's offenses are nearly two points, but against the Knicks, he must play more offense at the basket. Those [-]% Small hooks and small throws that don't have a hit rate are unreliable, and they don't work if they don't have physical fitness.

He didn't arrange for O'Neal to double-team Zhao Dong in the area outside the basket today, that is, to prevent O'Neal from defending, which saved O'Neal some energy.

Zhao Dong saw that the defense he was facing was strengthened, and O'Neal was sitting off the court again, so he immediately made a targeted reaction.

Without him, strengthen the offense, bring O'Neal up, and don't let him sit down all the time.

His physical fitness is fine today, because Fortson's presence saved him a lot of physical energy on the defensive end, and he didn't have a lot of offense in the second quarter, and he didn't hit the basket too much in the first half in the positional battle. Mostly jump shots, he has plenty of physical fitness now.

Next, he went to Big Ben under the basket. In just 5 minutes of the third quarter, he caused two fouls by Big Ben and one foul by Horry. He made 7 of 4 shots and 6 of 6 free throws. 14 points, showing a strong lethality and scoring ability.

Under his leadership, he played a wave of attacks of 71 to 65, 6:[-], overtaking the Lakers in one fell swoop, and leading by [-] points.

Phil Jackson couldn't stabilize, called a timeout, and replaced O'Neal, who couldn't sit still.

Moreover, he did not change his defense against Zhao Dong, and let other people besides O'Neal double-team Zhao Dong with all his strength, even when Zhao Dong was close to the paint without the ball, they also double-teamed.

In addition, he replaced Big Ben and played Horry to open up space for O'Neal and create opportunities for singles.

After the timeout, O'Neal entered the game and immediately stormed the basket, resulting in Fortson's fourth foul and two free throw opportunities.

"O'Neal..."

Zhang Lili quickly checked O'Neill's foul record, shook his head and said, "Only twice."

Su Qun was a little surprised and said, "Fortson fouled more today than before he was injured! If we continue to play like this, we may graduate with six fouls in the third quarter."

Zhang Lili said: "It's very simple. When his knees are not strong enough to hold up, in order to stop O'Neal, he can only use foul methods."

"Yes, yes, yes." Su Qun nodded.

On the field, O'Neal stood on the free throw line in fear, fearing that the Knicks would cut him again.

"Danny, there is no need to save your fouls. If he wants to dunk you, then fuck him." Zhao Dong looked at Fortson seriously.

"Yes, boss." Fortson gritted his teeth and nodded.

Today he was dunked by O'Neal at least five times, and was dunked by O'Neal at least three times, which made him dizzy.

Bang bang, O'Neal was okay with free throws today, but he missed two free throws, and the Knicks attacked.

Boom, it wasn't O'Neal who fell, but Zhao Dong. When he rushed in to dunk O'Neal, he was directly knocked down by the opponent.

"Boss?"

Fortson rushed over.

"fine."

Zhao Donghu, who was lying on the floor, straightened his waist, and unexpectedly came a clean carp straightening. This action surprised everyone in the audience, and then the [-] away fans burst into enthusiastic cheers.

Knocked down by Zhao Dong, O'Neal lying on the side was stunned. He rested for 5 minutes in the first half, 15 minutes in halftime, and another 5 minutes in the third quarter, but he was still very tired, but what about this monster?
Phil Jackson also almost dropped his jaw to the floor. Physical fitness, the problem that plagued him and O'Neill, doesn't exist in Zhao Dong?

Zhang Lili laughed and said, "Phil Jackson reduced O'Neal's defensive investment, but Fordson's comeback also reduced Zhao Dong's defensive investment. Now Zhao Dong still looks alive and well!"

"I doubt that flying dragons can kung fu."

In the TNT live broadcast, Smith said: "Charles, you should be clear?"

Barkley looked at Smith with disdain and said, "Every Chinese knows kung fu, don't you know?"

"I see." Smith suddenly realized.

Standing on the free throw line, Zhao Dong shouted to O'Neal: "Shark, if you don't lift the urinal, you will never win the championship."

"Absolutely impossible." O'Neill said with grief and indignation.

With two swipes, Zhao Donglian scored two dollars, and the Knicks led by 8 points.
