Chapter 284: Using the Postman’s Elbow to Practice Courage

After briefly answering a few questions, Zhao Dong returned to the locker room.

"Da Zhi, how do you feel?"

Seeing Da Zhi leaning against the wardrobe in a daze, he sat down next to him and asked.

"Oh, Brother Dong."

DaZhi quickly sat up straight and said: "The confrontation is really strong. Garnett's strength is much stronger than mine. I pushed him from behind and received several elbows from him."

Zhao Dong smiled and said: "Being elbowed in the NBA is as normal as drinking tea."

At this point, he asked curiously: "I didn't see you elbowing him. Did the trainer I hired for you not teach you to elbow him?"

DaZhi said sheepishly: "I, I'm useless."

Zhao Dongdao: "In the NBA, using your elbows properly can help you get better opportunities. Of course, don't rely too much on your elbows like a postman, otherwise you will be in trouble if you meet someone like me."

"I understand, Brother Dong." Da Zhi said.

"In the next game, I will give you a task." Zhao Dong said at this time.

"ah?"

"I want to see you use your elbow at least three times, whether it is offensive or defensive, at least three times." Zhao Dong said seriously.

"..."

It was so big that his mouth was open, which was definitely a test for him.

On the 20th, the next day, the Knicks welcomed a return visit from the Digital Team at home.

Nelson only played 14 minutes in the last game, and he didn't even appear in the starting lineup this time.

I'm actually relieved. If he starts again, maybe the head coach will arrange for him to play against the famous Dr. Iron Elbow Postman.

Although the postman is just a cat in front of Brother Dong, in front of others, he is still a very intimidating Dr. Iron Elbow. He estimates that if he gets an elbow from the postman, he will have to stop eating.

Numbers Team: Leo Ratliff, Karl Malone, George Lynch, Allen Iverson, Eric Snow

Knicks: Big Ben,

Danny Fortson, Zhao Dong, Madman, Billups

This game was not broadcast live on CCTV. The game was broadcast live across the United States by ABC TV.

When Hubie Brown saw the starting list, he said: "Old Nelson just took Fordson out of the starting lineup and put him in the starting lineup again tonight. Does he want to use Fordson to defend Karl Malone?"

Cook said: "Danny Fortson is a violent type. He is a beast on the court, a typical violent person. If it weren't for the flying dragon to control him, he might have eaten T more times last season than Rasheed Wallace. , but even so, his number of technical fouls is second in the league.

It's a good idea to use him to defend the postman. He may not be afraid of the postman's iron elbow. "

Hubie Brown laughed: "We have played seven games this season, and Fordson has not had a T. He has begun to change. We can't look at him with the same old eyes.

In addition to rebounding, on the offensive end, his abilities are average, but on the defensive end, he can contribute a lot of energy. If he can withstand the postman, Feilong will have the opportunity to completely unleash his energy. "

Cook laughed: “If there is no postman around, Feilong can sweep the entire half on the defensive end and then blow up the digital team on the offensive end.

Therefore, putting Fordson back into the starting lineup may be a tactic specifically developed by Nelson for the digital team. "

Hubie Brown said: "Except for losing to the Knicks this season, the Digital Team has not lost a game. The strength has not been mentioned, but it still needs to show competitiveness against strong championship-level teams such as the Knicks, Bulls, Spurs, and Lakers."

Cook said: "Don't underestimate the strength of the digital team just because Feilong restrained the mailman. The email combination is definitely an inside and outside combination that gives other championship-level teams a headache. Of course, as Hubby said, it needs more test.”

"I'm relieved that I'm not in the starting lineup." Zhang Lili said to Sun Zhenping after the baseline.

"Me too, I started as a starter when I came to the Knicks. If I put it on the fire, I would get scorched." Sun Zhenping said with a smile.

Next to the two of them was Yang Yi. He said, "I wonder how long Da Zhi can fight today?"

"It should be ten minutes, right?" Sun Zhenping said.

"Not to mention Zhao Dong is here, the Knicks themselves lack offensive energy inside, so there is still a chance here." Zhang Li said with a smile.

The atmosphere in the visiting team's locker room was a bit strange.

After losing to the Knicks in the frontcourt, the atmosphere in the team has been different in the past two days. There is obviously a lack of communication between the Postman, Iverson, and head coach Larry Brown.

Especially between the two cores, Iverson almost didn't talk to the postman and was in a secret war.

The postman knew full well that he was too dominant in the locker room and robbed Aveline of his right to speak.

In the locker room, with his qualifications, there is almost no need for any means. As long as he sits here, he has the right to speak. No one dares to ignore him, including head coach Larry Brown.

However, the current digital team is not what he wants.

"It can't be like this. I'm here to compete for the championship, not compete with a rookie for the top spot." He knew this very well, so he planned to talk to Iverson now.

"You guys go out first, I have something to tell Allen." He said to the others.

"ah?"

The others were startled. The postman wasn't going to hit Iverson, was he?

Iverson was also heartbroken, but he didn't think the postman would do anything to him, because the relationship between the two was far from that, they just didn't communicate.

"you?"

Outside the locker room, they saw all the players coming out, with only the postman and Iverson inside. Larry Brown and general manager Billy King looked at each other. After learning the reason, they were a little worried.

If the locker room really collapses, then the digital team will be doomed, and the email group will be dismantled as soon as it is formed.

"Karl, what do you want to say?"

In the room, Iverson, who never spoke much, asked first.

The postman stared at Iverson, and after feeling a little fuzzy in his heart, he said: "Allen, I can promise you that as long as we win the championship, I will leave here and leave your team immediately."

"..."

Iverson's eyes lit up.

In fact, the conflict between him and the postman was just about the right to speak in the locker room, and there was no conflict on the court.

The Postman doesn't need the ball, and it doesn't affect him. Moreover, he doesn't have the ball this season. Snow is the point guard. Snow doesn't take many shots. It's mainly about organization. It doesn't affect his shots. He feels Not bad at shooting guard either.

"For the championship, to prove ourselves to Feilong, let's work together." The postman stood up at this time and stretched out his hand.

"For the championship, to prove ourselves to Feilong, let's work hard together." Iverson also stood up, holding hands with the postman.

After pulling the hook, the two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.

In the home team's locker room, Zhao Dong opened the system, but there was no task? Trying to create an email portfolio but still no tasks? Is the system broken this season?

"System, I can understand that the postman has no tasks, but the email combination is so strong, why doesn't he have any tasks?"

"The so-called email organization does not pose a sufficient threat to the host, so there is no task to be issued."

"System, do you think so highly of me?"

"No, this system doesn't like email combinations."

"Lie down!"

After starting the game, Zhao Dong was stunned when he saw the email combination. The two were actually joking?

To be honest, both Iverson and the postman were unsmiling people. In addition, in his previous life, he rarely saw the two of them smiling. Is this a ghost today?

"you……"

He stared at the two of them and uttered something that made them jump: "You're not gay, are you?"

"..."

This sentence was so lethal that everyone was instantly petrified.

"Feilong, I'm going to get into the ring with you, and this time we'll play wrestling." The postman roared angrily.

Iverson was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He stared at Zhao Dong with cold eyes, wanting to pounce on him and take a few bites.

"Pfft!"

"Ha ha……"

I don’t know who couldn’t hold back their laughter. Then, except for the email combination, uncontrollable laughter echoed throughout the corridor.

Fifteen minutes later, the game started. After the jump ball, the digital team attacked first.

The beast Danny Fordson was indeed assigned to face the postman today. He worked very hard and clung to the postman, but was elbowed away and pushed against him.

But instead of trying to pester the postman, he pressed his elbow on the latter's lower back. The postman was so strong that he even gasped.

When Da Zhi saw this scene while sitting on the bench, his eyes couldn't help but shrink.

The postman did not get the open space. At this time, Iverson dropped the madman and rushed to the right wing. Snow passed the ball.

But when Iverson received the ball, Zhao Dong assisted in defense, and then the madman followed up from behind to complete the double-team.

"predict!"

Iverson made a strong shot and was kicked up by Zhao Dong.

Zhao Dong paid attention to the intensity of the block and did not slap the ball away directly. Instead, he pointed the ball towards the madman behind Iverson.

"boom!"

The madman received the ball, immediately turned around and went down quickly, completing a dunk.

In the 9th minute, at 10:21, the Knicks led by 11 points, and the digital team called a timeout.

With Fordson entangled the postman, Zhao Dong overwhelmed the digital team on both ends of the offense and defense. He sent out 2 blocks, 1 steal, and 2 assists in 9 minutes. He also made 4 of 5 shots and 3 of 3 free throws. Scored 11 points.

Without the control of the postman, Iverson was unable to support himself on the offensive end. He repeatedly encountered Zhao Dong's defense and was forced to shoot near the three-point line. He made 2 of 8 shots and 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 6 points. , and 2 turnovers.

Hubie Brown smiled and said: "Look, what I said is right, coach Nelson really used Fordson to counter the postman, which freed up Feilong's combat power.

There are advantages and disadvantages. The next suspense is how long Fordson can play. With two fouls within 9 minutes, he will definitely be replaced. "

Just like Hubie Brown said, Fordson sat on the bench in frustration at this time.

He got two fouls from the postman, and his playing time will be seriously affected today. He may only be able to play for 20 minutes.

The timeout ended, DaZhi replaced Fordson and faced the postman.

Numbers team offense.

"boom!"

DaZhi groaned, clutching his chest and retreated.

Iverson was holding the ball to the right elbow of the paint area. Zhao Dong came up to cover, but at this time Iverson suddenly passed the ball to the postman on the left wing.

The postman caught the ball and made a jump shot, hitting a mid-range shot.

"It was so big that I couldn't hold it back and gave the postman room to take action." Zhang Lili sighed.

"How can the current Da Zhi guard against the postman? Zhao Dong has to do it himself." Sun Zhenping said.

However, Zhao Dong did not switch defense and still asked Da Zhi to face the postman.

"I'll give you an elbow for an elbow. If you can't do it, prepare to return to China and play in the CBA. Don't waste your time in the NBA." Zhao Dong shouted coldly.

DaZhi gritted his teeth and nodded sharply.

Returning to the offensive end, he positioned himself low on the left wing.

Zhao Dong took the ball from Charlie Ward and passed it on.

As big as catching the ball, controlling the ball with his left hand, he suddenly turned down and slid down. While turning, he threw his right elbow back and hit Malone on the neck with a bang.

"Well!"

This time, it was hit right on the chin, making the postman groan and burst into tears.

"oh!"

Knicks fans exclaimed, and many people began to applaud and cheer for Da Zhi's move.

But Da Zhi's attack failed to succeed. Theo Traleve was in place to defend and blocked his shot.

However, Zhao Dong grabbed the ball and dunked hard with both hands across Tel Reve. With a bang, he dunked the opponent directly.

"snort!"

The postman wiped his eyes, glared at Da Zhi unwillingly, turned around and ran towards the front court.

"Two more times."

Zhao Dong smiled and raised two fingers at Da Zhi.

"hey-hey!"

Da Zhi also laughed, feeling that it was not particularly difficult to elbow someone.

But then, he stopped laughing.

The postman was afraid of Zhao Dong, but not afraid of him. A pair of iron elbows came at him, making him groan in pain.

But with Zhao Dong behind him, the postman didn't dare to go for the vital point, nor did he dare to press his elbow with all his strength, so Da Zhi barely managed to carry it down.

After the first quarter, he gave Malone another elbow. Although he suffered more losses, he dared to return the elbow. This was a very big attack on him.

Next, Da Zhi played the first half of the second quarter, then was replaced and never played again.

His three-elbow mission was completed, but he received at least six elbows from Malone. He lifted up his jersey and saw several purple-red marks on his chest and abdomen.

Da Zhi went down and replaced Fordson, and then continued to exchange elbows with Malone, which gave Malone a headache.

Zhao Dong continued to work hard on both offense and defense, defeating the digital team.

But by the sixth minute of the third quarter, Fordson committed six fouls.

Although Fordson was defeated, the postman did not fare well because his biggest rival Zhao Dong stood by his side.

In the next game, although Zhao Dong's attention was on the postman, his defense against others weakened, allowing Iverson to open up the offense, but Iverson could not sustain it alone, and the digital team still lost. At the end of the third quarter By that time, the score difference had reached 25 points.

Hubie Brown concluded after the game: "A strong email combination is powerful, but facing the Knicks, the postman cannot play a big role and cannot avoid losing."

Cook said: "75:106, we lost by 31 points this time, the point difference is even bigger."

Hubby Brown said: "Before Fordson made six fouls, Feilong's defense against Iverson was very strong, which made it difficult for the digital team to score. The first and second scoring points were all inefficient, and the point difference became wider. This is definitely.

At the end of the game, Iverson walked off the court disappointed. This game disappointed him even more than the one the day before yesterday.

In the last game, only the postman was affected, but in this game he couldn't even attack. Feilong's defense area was too large, and he was forced to shoot near the three-point line.

His breakthrough success rate is not high. It is difficult for Feilong and Ben Wallace to break through the defense. Today, his shooting percentage at the basket is only 41%, which is too low. He might as well shoot from the outside.

On the contrary, on the defensive end, Feilong still killed them with mid-range shots with a shooting rate of over 55%. They had two top defensive linemen in Postman and Ratliff, but they could only watch Feilong shoot from the outside and move too slowly. , can't prevent it from getting out.

Returning to the locker room, he asked Larry Brown with some confusion: "Coach, how can we beat the Knicks and how can we defeat the Dragons?"

Larry Brown opened his mouth and said: "Defense, we have to strengthen our defense. Starting tomorrow, we will conduct zone defense training."

"Zone defense?"

Iverson's eyes lit up.

In the home team's locker room, Zhao Dong said to Da Zhi: "Do you still have the guts to face off against the postman next time?"

DaZhi swallowed, nodded and said, "Dare, it's no big deal."

Zhao Dong nodded: "Today I am just training my courage with the postman. When I meet him next time, I don't have to fight him like today."

"Ah?" DaZhi opened his mouth wide.

Zhao Dongdao: "I mean offense. On the offensive end, you have your own technical characteristics, and you play according to your own style. But on the defensive end, if you face him, you have to fight hard to hold on."

"Um."

Da Zhi nodded heavily.

At this time, Nelson walked over with a smile and said to Da Zhi: "Wang, you performed well today. This will help you compete for playing time."

DaZhi was stunned and quickly said thank you.

"Coach, my performance is not bad, right?" Fordson shouted together.

Xiao Fan frowned and said dissatisfied: "Six fouls were committed in just twenty-one minutes. Danny, do you think your performance was good enough?"

"Well!"

Fordson immediately lowered his head in frustration.

Zhao Dong smiled and said: "Today's situation is special. We are facing the postman, and the whistle is a bit biased towards the postman."

"Yes, yes, the boss is so right. There were several times when the whistle should not have been blown." Fordson was resurrected with full health and shouted excitedly:

"Damn the postman, he elbowed me more times and only got one foul. This is our home court."

"Who told you that your cards are low? Look at the boss. The postman rolled his eyes at the last elbow. Did the boss get a foul?" the madman yelled.

"Can I compete with the boss?" Fordson yelled strangely.

He and Madman have similar personalities. They have become familiar with each other these days and have a good relationship. They often joke and tease each other.

For this game, the next day, some famous basketball commentators and many league stars conducted analysis.
