Chapter 322 Kobe: How Could I Deal with Such a Boss?

Sure enough, when the Spurs attacked and took advantage of the dead ball, Popovich decisively replaced main small forward Sean Elliott and replaced him with substitute forward Malik Rose.

Rose and Zhao Dong were drafted in the same year, the No. 15 pick in the second round of 1996. He is 201 centimeters tall and 113 kilograms. His strength is average, but his IQ is good, he has double majors, and his golf IQ is also good.

Zhao Dong has an impression of Rose, because before his rebirth, in 2020, this black player became the NBA Vice President of Operations.

Of course, what he didn't know was that Rose would be traded to the Knicks in 2005. The Knicks' then general manager, Thomas the Smiling Assassin, was crazy. In order to trade a role player, he actually paid the Spurs two first-round draft picks. The bad thing is that he was bribed by Popovich.

The Spurs attacked, Duncan hit the board, but was interfered by Zhao Dong and failed to make a shot. The rebound was caught by Da Zhi who returned to the basket.

The Knicks attacked, and Zhao Dong pulled out again.

This time, Fordson didn't have the advantage. Marikros blocked him at the edge of the paint and he couldn't cut to the basket smoothly.

So Zhao Dong did not pass the ball, but faced the basket and broke through.

It only takes one step for him to break through Jordan on the outside. It is too easy to break through Duncan.

Grabbing the ball with one hand, he suddenly rose up and stood up. An extremely realistic fake shot shook Duncan, and then he jumped Duncan and headed towards the paint area.

This time, Admiral Robinson once again chose to go wide and return to defend the basket. This was the most correct choice for him.

This time, Zhao Dong did not choose to pass the ball.

In the second half, it was time to get more serious. Attacking at the basket was knife-to-knife and gun-to-gun, and outside jump shots were unreliable.

He held the ball with his left hand, protected the ball with his right hand, and flew with all his strength against Malik Rose and David Robinson who were returning to the basket.

"So high!"

Marikros took off to block the shot, but found that his head was at least one foot lower than Zhao Dong's, and the difference in wingspan was even greater, adding up to 40 centimeters.

Robinson, who was returning to defend from above, could no longer jump very high and could not reach Zhao Dong's ball.

What to do, the two chose foul tactics at the same time.

"Pah! Pah!"

Two big hands hit Zhao Dong hard on his body and head.

"boom!"

The next moment, the three people collided with each other as the basket exploded.

Zhao Dong grabbed the basket with his left hand and hung it above the basket. He coldly looked down at David Robinson and Malik Rose who fell to the ground, with an extremely cold expression.

He received a slap on the forehead from Robinson, which turned red.

"yeah!"

One ball knocked over two people, one of whom was a super center, and Madison Square Garden suddenly became excited.

"Too cruel!"

"Damn Feilong, he's more brutal than Rain Man's flat basket dunk."

On the sidelines, Jordan and other superstars jumped up excitedly.

"Ho ho ho, a dunk! Feilong sent out a brutal flat-basket dunk! He dunked Malik Ross, and he dunked Admiral David Robinson..."

The commentator's excited roar echoed throughout Madison Square Garden.

At this time, the referee gave a penalty for a thug's foul and gave it to Robinson. Zhao Dongjia made a free throw.

"Hey, super center, come in early next time and let me dunk you once, okay?"

Zhao Dong spat trash talk at David Robinson, who had just gotten up and looked very ugly.

"What did you say?"

Robinson's heart suddenly burst into anger, and he put his head directly on Zhao Dong's forehead. His fierce eyes were glowing red, and he was ready to fight if he disagreed with him.

"Get away!"

Zhao Dong didn't like Robinson. He raised his hand and pushed Robinson away with an elbow. The latter was almost knocked over and took two or three steps back before he could stand firm.

Who are you trying to scare? In the next season of his previous life, Robinson was elbowed to death by a postman. He didn't dare to be violent with the postman. Who gave you the courage to attack me and bully me for being Chinese? ?

I, my father, my father, killed many Americans back then, how can I still be afraid of you?

"Shh!"

Seeing Robinson using force against Zhao Dong, the Knicks immediately sent out huge boos.

"Do not impulse!"

The referee was anxious. This was the finals. The president was sitting in the VIP room. There was no fighting. He quickly intervened between the two to prevent them from continuing to contact.

"Is there going to be a fight?"

On the sidelines, Oakley and others shouted excitedly and expectantly.

"Fighting is what rough guys do. You have to use basketball to solve the problem." Jordan said with disdain.

"Michael, be careful of Mrs. Lindsay hearing you." Oakley immediately reminded.

"..."

Jordan's face twitched. Wasn't he caught by Lindsay last time in London when he and Oakley were talking bad about Zhao Dong?

He turned around and glanced cautiously at Lindsay. Fortunately, he was far away, so he shouldn't be able to hear it with such a noisy scene.

Under the interference of the referee, Robinson took advantage of the slope to get off the donkey. Mr. Zhao Dong had more and did not start.

Next, Zhao Dongjia made a free throw and the Spurs attacked.

Zhao Dong strengthened his defense against Duncan and prevented him from entering the paint area. Although Duncan's rebounding was good, Zhao Dong was too familiar with the rebounding technique and defended Duncan's rebounding attack twice in a row, including a block. .

On the offensive end, Zhao Dong first pulled Duncan out, and then used his breakthrough ability to return to the paint area, which was very efficient.

By the eighth minute, 63:77, the point difference was getting wider and wider, and the Knicks were already leading by 14 points.

Popovich has called two timeouts in the third quarter, and now he has called another timeout.

Bill Walton said: "The Dragons scored 14 points on 5 of 6 shots and 4 of 4 free throws in eight minutes of the third quarter. The efficiency was extremely high and it also caused great damage to the Spurs.

Robinson, who frequently returned to defend the basket, had committed three fouls, all of which were committed by Feilong. Duncan also committed three fouls, and Rose, who came on the bench, also committed two fouls. The Dragons have now made 10 free throws, all of which were made.

The Spurs should understand by now that they can't defend Feilong on their own. No matter how good Duncan's defense is, he is too slow compared to Feilong. They must defend in a zone and double-team. "

"Zone defense, we will play zone defense from now on."

In front of the Spurs bench, Popovich roared: "If they play a two-tower low-post tactic, Tim will defend, and David will help defend on the weak side. While assisting, they must cut off the pass between him and the basket. You can let it go for a while, do you understand?"

"clear."

Robinson nodded.

Popovich added: "If they play a high-low twin tower tactic, then we switch defenses, Malikros, you go to defend the Chinese, be tougher, the Chinese are very weak."

Malikros nodded, but complained in his heart, that guy dared to elbow the postman, how could he be weak?

Popovich said again: "David, you go back to the low post, and when the flying dragon attacks, immediately help defend on the weak side, and you have to be ruthless, do you understand?"

"clear."

Robinson said.

Kobe Bryant was sitting next to O'Neal on the sidelines, and suddenly said quietly: "Shaq, the Dragon made ten free throws out of ten, I wonder how he practiced?"

O'Neal was startled, "Little rookie, you don't know how to open the pot, right?"

Kobe looked at O'Neal as if he knew the boss was unhappy with what he said, but he still couldn't help it.

This loss in the Western Conference Finals was a bit unjust. If O'Neal's free throws were slightly better, the Lakers might be playing in the Finals now. He would be on the court instead of sitting on the sidelines watching the game.

"Shaq, I'm just saying, how about we practice together during the offseason?" he suggested.

"No need to talk!"

O'Neal righteously refused. It was too late to be lazy. Wouldn't it cost him his life to practice more? Miami's beaches and hot bikini beauties are 10,000 times more attractive than a cold training gym.

Kobe persevered and continued his efforts to persuade: "You see, Feilong might become a dynasty. I heard that there is a dragon on his ring, which is very beautiful. If we win the championship one day, how will the ring be designed?"

"Carve a big hamburger and add two hot dogs." O'Neal said without hesitation.

"..."

Kobe was a little desperate. How could he deal with such a boss?

In the tnt live broadcast booth, Bill Walton explained: "The Spurs and the Knicks were still inextricably tied before, but as the Dragons strengthened their offense, the point difference is now wider."

Matt said: "It's still efficiency. After Feilong strengthened its defense, Duncan's low-post efficiency decreased and he couldn't get into the basket.

Feilong, on the other hand, chose the tactic of pulling out first and then rushing in, which was extremely efficient. Feilong used this tactic to defeat the Sharks in the regular season, but the Sharks were also unable to deal with it. If they follow them, they will not be able to come back. "

"The god of efficiency is not a boast. If the Spurs cannot limit the efficiency of the Dragons, they will have no chance of winning the championship." Bill Walton laughed.

"Duncan said that in order to limit Feilong's efficiency, we must first limit his ability to escape. Let's see what the Spurs do." Matt said expectantly.

At this time, the timeout ended and the game began. The Spurs attacked and used low-post twin tower tactics.

In the low post on the left wing, Zhao Dong still defended with all his strength, determined not to let Duncan enter the paint area, and let him take action from outside.

In this area more than three meters away from the basket, under his defense, Duncan's shooting percentage will not exceed 45%, and will only be lower than this average.

And on the offensive end, even if he can't get in, his shooting rate in this area can definitely reach more than 55%, and this is when double-teamed or even double-teamed by multiple people.

The 55% shooting rate is his lowest single-game shooting rate in this area. It was achieved in this Eastern Conference Finals, and he only played one such inefficient game. The Bulls double-teamed him desperately in that game, and it really worked.

Duncan didn't arch his back this time. After catching the ball, he immediately swayed down and then up, then turned around and slid to the bottom.

Zhao Dong was shaken by Duncan's upswing, and his center of gravity was shaken, but his movement speed was too fast. When Duncan slipped to the bottom and just completed his turn, he took a step back, made an extremely fast lateral move, took the lead, and blocked the opponent again. In front of Duncan, Duncan bumped into him and the ball lost control and went out of bounds.

The referee signaled that the ball rights were exchanged.

"Nice! This defense gave Duncan a mistake." Zhang Lili said with a happy smile.

"The advantage of movement speed is strength." Sun Zhenping said with a smile.

Knicks offense.

"Oh, the Spurs are starting to play zone defense, second and third zone defense."

As soon as he saw the Spurs' defensive formation, Zhang Lili shouted immediately.

On the court, Duncan is sitting under the basket, Robinson is outside the left waist in the paint area, small forward Malikros is outside the right waist, and there are two defenders above the left and right elbows.

The second and third zone defense focuses on defending the low post, especially the basket area. The perimeter is the defensive weakness.

Zhao Dong entered the left wing, near the paint area, and Robinson posted up.

As long as he landed at the top of the key, the ball was in his hands.

Fordson went down low, and the two defenders spread out left and right.

As a result, the two Spurs defenders were separated by Billups and Madman.

According to Popovich's request, when the Knicks used a high-low two-tower tactic, Malikros went up to defend the big team, and Duncan was still in the low post.

Zhao Dong carried the general with his left hand and asked Da Zhi for the ball with his right hand, but Da Zhi lobbed it over.

Basically, it's still the old tactic. After passing the ball, it stops at the top of the arc to contain Marikros.

After Zhao Dong caught the ball, he grabbed the ball with one hand with his right hand, suddenly raised it, and made a motion to get up and shoot. After shaking Robinson, he immediately broke through and headed towards the paint area.

With Robinson's current athletic ability, after pulling out, under Zhao Dong's speed, there is no way he can go back. After turning around, he can only watch Zhao Dong rush into the paint area.

At this time, Duncan, who was in the low post on the right wing, quickly covered up the basket. At the same time, Robinson also chased Zhao Dong desperately, trying to create a double team under the basket.

"If I don't delay with you any longer, I will deal with you in the third quarter."

Zhao Dong, who entered the paint area, had this thought in his mind, put more force on his feet, and flew towards Duncan under the basket.

Faced with such a strong impact from Zhao Dong, Duncan actually wanted to take a step forward and defend outside the reasonable collision area. If Zhao Dong collided with him, it would be an offensive foul.

But he can't, because behind him is Fordson, and he must guard the basket, otherwise once he leaves and Zhao Dong passes the ball, Fordson's bomb will be waiting for him.

Therefore, he can only passively wait for Zhao Dong's impact in the reasonable collision area under the basket.

Therefore, seeing Zhao Dong flying up, he could only take off vertically on the spot, raise his arms high, and block Zhao Dong's attack.

He jumped with all his strength, and now his vertical jump can reach 75 centimeters. With his height and wingspan of 230 centimeters, his reach can reach 283 centimeters. This is what he can achieve when he takes off vertically. The limit of defensive height.

But facing Zhao Dong's jump, such a defensive height was still not enough, and he was still a head lower than Zhao Dong.

"Bang!"

Zhao Dong bumped into Duncan from top to bottom. Under the huge impact, the latter groaned and immediately fell backwards.

Zhao Dong was also knocked up in the air. At this time, his limit-breaking core strength began to show its magic. His waist and abdomen were thrust up in the air. After the second exertion, the lost balance was restored.

"boom!"

The next moment, the Spurs' basket exploded.

Dunk, ding, ding, Duncan, who was knocked down, landed on the ground and took several steps back before stopping, almost being knocked over.

"yeah!"

The moment the basket was blown up, the whole place immediately erupted.

"Ho ho ho..."

The on-site commentator screamed strangely and roared excitedly: "The undrafted draft pick and the first pick Tim Duncan dunked on each other. This is a showdown of picks. The undrafted pick wins."

In the TNT live broadcast booth, Bill Walton laughed and said: "As long as Duncan guards Feilong under the basket for half a second, Robinson can catch up and form a double team under the basket, but unfortunately, Feilong will not give the Spurs this double team." Opportunity, his impact is unstoppable, not even Duncan."

Matt laughed: "So if the Spurs want to double-team Feilong, they can't wait until he rushes up. They must double-team before then, just like the Bulls did in the Eastern Conference Finals, double-teaming outside the paint area or on the edge. Can't let him get near the basket."

The Spurs attacked and after serving, called a timeout.

"It was only one round, and the Spurs called timeout again. Popovich probably thought there was something wrong with the tactics." Sun Zhenping said.

Zhang Lili said: "There was a problem with the defense. Da Zhi's widening prevented the Spurs from forming a double-team on Zhao Dong in the low post.

He didn't move in the high post, allowing the Spurs' second and third zone defense to actually turn into a three and two zone defense, focusing on defending the low posts in the area, and the defensive energy was not enough.

Now the Spurs have to solve not only Zhao Dong, but also how to break the Knicks' high-low twin tower tactics. "

Sun Zhenping smiled and said: "Beiqiao Fengnan Murong, the art of using another person's way to retaliate against another person's body is indeed very powerful!"

Zhang Lijia laughed and said: "Old Nelson is really good. The high and low tower tactics he plays, because Zhao Dong and Da Zhi both have shooting ranges as far as the three-point line, they can open wider than the Spurs' twin towers. In this way, They can form greater strategic depth than the Spurs when playing this tactic.

I think the Knicks’ tactical changes haven’t been fully implemented yet. In fact, the two guards, Madman and Billups, can completely break in after Zhao Dong and Da Zhi have opened up such a large depth. . "
