Chapter 287: One Person Fights, Five People Are Nervous

Thirteen games were played on the 2nd, and the schedule is okay, but this is just child's play. The adaptation process to the new season, and the schedule in March is the most critical.

The Knicks have 19 games in March, six more than in February.

On the 1st, the Knicks will play the Bulls away from home. On the 2nd and 3rd, there will be consecutive back-to-back games. The schedule is far more cruel than in February and will be a huge test for the players' physical fitness.

The Knicks will have three consecutive back-to-back schedules three times in March, and two consecutive two-game back-to-back schedules.

On the night of March 1st, the Knicks came to the familiar United Center.

Knicks: Ben, Willis, Zhao Dong, Hu Weidong, Billups

Bulls: Oakley, Rasheed Wallace, Tracy McGrady, Jordan, Kidd

This game attracted the most attention in the league. It was broadcast live across the United States by TNT and CCTV. There were dozens of other broadcast rights around the world. NBA's global promotion work has had a certain effect.

In the TNT live broadcast booth, Bill Walton said: "Jordan was injured and came back to play against the Dragons. In the four games he was injured, the Bulls had one win and three losses. Now the Bulls have 8 wins and 5 losses, ranking sixth in the Eastern Conference. Location."

Matt continued: “In these four games, coach Phil Jackson arranged two lineups, one with rookie Mobley starting in place of Jordan, and the other with McGrady as the shooting guard.

Of course, McGrady's performance is better and more stable among the two. He averaged 20.5 points, 4 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1 steal and 1.5 blocks in four games. He is excellent both offensively and defensively.

But Mobley's performance was not bad. He played 26 minutes in the first game, scored 15 points, 3 assists, and two steals.

Judging from the Knicks' lineup, I think the Knicks currently have too many inside players and not enough outside players. If Fordson was traded for Tracy McGrady, I think it would be a good deal. "

Bill Walton laughed: "Fortson has his advantages and can carry the mailman. It makes sense for the Knicks to choose to keep him."

In the visiting team's locker room, Zhao Dong opened the system for the eighth time.

Since the beginning of the season, the system has issued a mission in the first game and received a pitiful reward of two skill points, and has been completely paralyzed since then.

"System, Jordan, my biggest enemy, don't you show your support?"

"Jordan has passed his peak.

No representation. "

"Lie down!"

At 7:40, the starting lineup begins.

"Qiaodan, how does it feel to be elbowed by the postman?" Zhao Dong immediately joked when he saw Jordan in the corridor.

"I can't spare him." Jordan said coldly.

He still had a medical band-aid on his right brow bone, looking a bit like he was fighting with an injury.

"Can you beat him?" Zhao Dong said in surprise.

"Do you think I'm a fool like you? Things on the basketball court must be solved with basketball." Jordan said coldly.

"How to solve it?" Zhao Dong asked curiously.

Jordan snorted coldly and said: "The postman wants to win the championship, but I will make it impossible for him to pass my level."

Zhao Dong said disdainfully: "I killed him in these two finals, so don't brag."

Jordan said angrily: "Now the Digital Team is second in the Eastern Conference. If we enter the playoffs and still rank at this level, we will most likely run into them in the second round. Do you think I can kill him?"

"Looking at you rolling around on the ground, does it hurt?" Zhao Dong looked concerned.

"When did I roll around?"

Jordan glared at Zhao Dong, who is as strong and strong as you?

Oakley next to him saw Zhao Dong teasing Jordan, lowered his head and smiled non-stop.

At this time, at Popovich's house in San Antonio, he and Duncan were sitting in front of the TV.

"Tim, do you think the Bulls can play tactics tonight that limit the dragon's ability to escape?" Popovich asked.

Bang, he opened a bottle of red wine.

"Coach Jackson is a dynasty coach, so that should be okay, right?"

Tim Duncan's tone was uncertain, and when he spoke, he handed over his wine glass.

"Wake up and drink again."

Popovich reminded after pouring the wine.

Tim Duncan sloshed his drink and said: "Whether they can limit the Dragons or not, I believe we have a chance to beat the Knicks."

Popovich took a deep look at Tim Duncan and felt that this young man was completely different from when he first met him. He had become more confident, mentally stronger, and had more ideas.

This big guy who was at the peak of his career, under the pressure of Feilong, spent the entire offseason practicing before the draft, and the eight-month offseason that just passed was also spent in additional training.

Until now, he still doesn't know how strong this guy is, because in this month's game, Duncan never exerted his full strength and kept playing back.

At eight o'clock, the game starts.

Willis jumps the ball, beats Rasheed Wallace, and the Knicks attack.

"Hey, the Bulls are playing zone defense today? McGrady is in the middle, playing a two-one-two zone defense." Zhang Lili shouted.

"I guess Feilong will play the same way today, using mid-range shots to win." Sun Zhenping said with a smile.

"Central shooting is the most reasonable way to attack." Zhang Li said with a smile.

Zhao Dong is on the left three-point line without the ball.

He observed the Bulls' defensive formation. Oakley, who was in the low post on the left wing, was higher up, reaching the waist position. This was to prevent him from breaking into the mid-range shot.

In addition, McGrady in the middle is also in the left elbow area. As long as he breaks in, he will be double-teamed.

And once he really breaks through the double-team of these two people, he will also usher in the supplementary defense of right-wing Rasheed Wallace, and then there will be a three-person double-team.

In front of him, one step away, was Jordan.

"Old flying man, where is your crutch?" Zhao Dong teased.

"I will chop 50+ on your head in this game." Jordan said coldly.

"You scored 69 points and still lost." Zhao Dong said.

"you?"

Jordan was instantly broken.

That game was the biggest humiliation of his career. He scored an unprecedented number of points, but lost the game. He became a typical example of squandering statistics.

The moment Jordan was breached, Zhao Dong took the first step.

He also intentionally bumped into the opponent when breaking through Jordan, causing the latter to lose its center of gravity and make the pursuit slower.

This does not violate the Feilong Law, because the Feilong Law does not allow him to break through by actively hitting the defender while holding the ball.

Now he is off the ball, so he can do this. This is a normal collision.

Jordan lost his position and was hit again. He staggered and was almost knocked down. He completely lost his defensive position and the opportunity to pursue defense.

When Zhao Dong broke through Jordan, Billups' ball happened to come over. He caught the ball and went to the left wing.

At this time, McGrady at the left elbow and Oakley at the left midfield immediately moved to form a double-team on him.

At this moment, Zhao Dong froze and his speed dropped sharply.

This deceleration is a precursor to a sudden stop jump shot.

"coming!"

Zhang Heshi shouted excitedly.

This is the power of the emergency stop jumper. Zhao Dong's deceleration position is still one step away from Oakley and McGrady. His breakthrough and emergency stop allowed him to completely get rid of the three defenders.

This sudden stop forced Oakley and McGrady to change their direction of movement.

But just as the two changed their movement direction, Zhao Dong suddenly started again. With a bang, he dribbled the ball with his left hand, changed direction downward, and rushed past Oakley.

"Suddenly?"

Zhang Lili shouted in surprise.

"Three people in a row!"

Sun Zhenping shouted excitedly.

Zhao Dong reached the paint area with the ball. Rasheed Wallace had just returned to the basket. He grabbed the ball with one hand with his left hand and flew towards the opponent.

In the reasonable collision area under the basket, Rasheed Wallace gritted his teeth, jumped up, and slapped him.

"boom!"

When Rasheed Wallace flew in response, the Bulls basket exploded.

"Beep!"

The referee's whistle also sounded.

"Beautiful! Feilong defeated three players in a row and dunked Rasheed Wallace. He is showing unparalleled impact!" Bill Walton roared excitedly.

"In order to guard against Feilong's mid-range shot, the Bulls relied a little on the outside in their interior defense. Once they were breached, they were unable to defend in time," Matt said.

"Yes, Oakley was surprised just now and couldn't catch up after turning around. Rasheed Wallace alone would never be able to guard against the flying dragon." Bill Walton said with a smile.

"Feilong is really difficult to guard. If the inside is too tight, his pull-up jump shot will be closer to the basket. And once the inside is like what he did just now, he will rush in and hit again."

Matt shook his head.

"Zone defense can't restrict him. I think we can only restrict him by introducing a rule that allows double-teaming of people without the ball and restricting him from catching the ball." Bill Walton laughed.

Under the basket, the referee pointed to Rasheed Wallace, who had just gotten up, and made a foul gesture. The latter also raised his hand.

"Everything you do is resistance in vain!"

Looking at the embarrassed and roaring Tianzun, Zhao Dong glanced at Jordan, dropped these words, and turned towards the free throw line.

Roaring Tianzun was so angry that his eyes were red, and he stared at Zhao Dong's back so hard that his fists were almost bleeding.

"Ignore him, Rashid, you have to learn to ignore his trash talk, otherwise you will be disturbed by him." Jordan advised as a veteran.

Looking back, Kidd made a clever attack on Jordan and hit an alley-oop dunk on the big man.

"Boy, this is my response to you." After dunking the ball, Jordan pointed at Zhao Dong and shouted.

"Wait." Zhao Dong said coldly.

The Knicks attacked and Zhao Dong broke through the paint area again.

This time, Oakley and McGrady were prepared.

The former covered Zhao Dong who broke through Jordan at the edge of the paint area. When Zhao Dong changed direction and broke through, McGrady immediately returned to defend the basket and formed a double-team on Zhao Dong with Rasheed Wallace at the basket.

At this time, Zhao Dong passed the ball through the gap and passed it to Hu Weidong, who was performing a back cut from the weak side.

"boom!"

Hu Weidong caught the ball behind Rasheed Wallace, jumped up with a step, and completed a dunk.

"Did you see it?" Zhao Dong pointed at Jordan and shouted.

"snort!"

Jordan snorted coldly.

He was dunked by two Chinese in succession at the beginning. Roaring Tianzun was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and was about to vent his anger on Hu Weidong. Zhao Dong's big finger was on his nose.

"If you dare to be presumptuous again, kid, I will let you lie down." Zhao Dong said coldly with a fierce light in his eyes.

Rasheed Wallace's whole face turned red after being fingered in the face by his opponent. When his reason was about to be completely overwhelmed by anger, Oakley hugged him and shouted in his ear: "Don't cause trouble, you make trouble." If you can't afford him, you have to learn to use basketball to solve problems, not your voice."

Rasheed Wallace gritted his teeth, saw the fierce light in Zhao Dong's eyes, lowered his head and ran over.

"Beautiful! Using the sudden split tactic, after Zhao Dong attracted double-teams, Hu Weidong got the chance." Sun Zhenping shouted.

"In time difference tactics, Zhao Dong's breakthrough always occurs when the Bulls are withdrawing from the penalty area. In this way, the Bulls are always close to returning to the basket and cannot block Zhao Dong in advance. And if you want to block Zhao Dong's impact in the reasonable collision zone, It’s good for the attacking side and they can fully utilize Zhao Dong’s impact. It’s too difficult to defend!” Zhang Li said with a smile.

Looking back, Kidd once again sent a wonderful pass, this time to Tracy McGrady, who cut in, and another alley-oop made the United Center arena boil.

Bill Walton laughed: "Since this season, Kidd and McGrady have done a lot of alley-oops. In the inside tactics, the young McGrady has replaced Jordan and hit the basket a lot."

Matt smiled: "Yes, with Jordan's roar, McGrady is becoming one of the most popular stars in this arena."

The next Knicks offense.

When Zhao Dong stood on the left three-point line, the nerves of the five people on the Bulls field were tense and they were all looking at him.

"Should this guy still rush in?" Oakley secretly thought.

"CIC or breakthrough?"

McGrady was nervous and focused all his attention on Zhao Dong.

Jordan didn't make any guesses, he just kept making decisions. When Zhao Dong didn't have the ball, he directly stayed close to him and played a Pippen-style stalking defense.

Zhao Dong suddenly turned to the right. Just as Jordan was about to follow, a big hand pressed on his stomach to prevent him from following. He put his arms around Zhao Dong's arm, but Zhao Dong struggled to break away. got rid of his entanglement.

Then, Zhao Dong completed the breakthrough and when he rushed into the wing, the ball also came.

Oakley and McGrady gambled in front, and he made a drastic change of direction and pulled toward the baseline.

"Oops!"

Oakley quickly moved down, but just as he moved, Zhao Dong suddenly turned around, broke the double-team from the gap between him and McGrady, and rushed over with the ball, and the double-team was broken.

"Come in!"

Seeing this, Zhang Lili perked up and shouted excitedly.

Rasheed Wallace had just followed Willis out. At this time, he returned to defend the basket and was unable to block Zhao Dong in advance. As soon as he returned to the reasonable collision area, Zhao Dong was already flying towards him.

Zhao Dong's jump height was too high, more than one meter, and he jumped out and crushed Rasheed Wallace, whose defensive height was simply not high enough.

"boom!"

While hitting Rasheed Wallace, the ferocious sound of the basket exploded.

Bang, Roaring Heavenly Lord hit the floor. Under the huge impact, he slid more than two meters. He was breathless for a moment and rolled his eyes.

In the silent United Center, the only sound left was Rasheed Wallace's violent breathing.

"Okay, Zhao Dong dunked Rasheed Wallace again." Zhang Lili roared excitedly.

In the TNT live broadcast booth, Bill Walton analyzed: "Compared to the last game between the two teams, Feilong played more differently tonight. It strengthened its breakthroughs in the inside and played more fiercely. It connected with the defense. people."

Matt said: "His strongest point has always been the impact on the penalty area, which can compress the opponent's defense to the greatest extent, allowing the outside to get opportunities, or causing huge damage to the Bulls.

Willis started tonight. After he pulled Rasheed Wallace out, Oakley defended again. There was no one under the basket, which was most conducive to the dragon's breakthrough. "

Bill Walton reminded: "The Bulls should make some concessions, because the impact of Feilong is very dangerous. In such a dense schedule, the defensive side is easily injured. I think the Bulls should focus on the playoffs and not in the regular season." It’s hurt.”

"This is the lethality of Feilong's attack on the penalty area. Does Rasheed Wallace still dare to defend like this?" Matt said with a smile.

Bill Walton laughed and said: "Fortunately, the Bulls are playing zone defense. When Feilong breaks through, there are continuous changes of direction. It is not a straight-line breakthrough. The speed is a little slower and the impact is not so terrifying. Otherwise, Rashid Wallace might have been injured.”

"This is why the league launched a zone defense." Matt laughed.

The Bulls called a timeout, and after the players returned to the bench, Phil Jackson said: "This year's schedule is too dense. In the next two months, as the body's fatigue deepens, the chance of injury will also increase, and we must To ensure your health for the playoffs, you must not get injured.

Therefore, in the next defense, you must pay attention to your skills. You can defend from the side, but do not confront him head-on. "

"He may also be injured." Rasheed Wallace said unconvinced.

"idiot!"

Oakley cursed and then said: "I am too familiar with Feilong. He is almost invulnerable and has a monster-level physique. Think about how he defeated the postman and how he blew Tyson's head off? Think about his Iron Man nickname?

Even Tyson, the world's most terrifying heavyweight boxing champion, couldn't hurt him. How could this little collision hurt him? I'm afraid if you were killed by him, he wouldn't lose a drop of blood. "

"So we can't get injured, otherwise we will lose if we don't have a complete lineup for the playoffs."

Jordan nodded and said: "That bastard Feilong keeps attacking the penalty area today. He might want to hurt you. We must be careful."

He turned around and said to Rasheed Wallace: "Rashid, don't do that, we can't afford to get hurt."

Oakley added: "Even if we face the Knicks in the playoffs, our defense against Feilong should be side defense, mainly to reduce his shooting rate. Don't think about completely guarding him, that's impossible.

We need to prevent what happened in the last Eastern Conference Finals, where Ewing and Rodman were injured by him, leaving no one available inside and Jordan having to enter the low post. "

Ewing was sitting next to Oakley and said with an ugly face: "We still have to promote the rule of double-teaming people without the ball to be able to restrict him."

Oakley glanced at Ewing. This old guy has not played on the court yet this season. He has been recuperating his body and is aiming to contribute in the playoffs just like last season.

"Patrick, don't remember what happened in the past. Feilong really didn't interfere with your transaction. He didn't need to do that."

He couldn't help but say.

Ewing opened his mouth and turned his head to the other side.

Shaking his head, Oakley decided not to talk about it again, he had done his best.

In terms of relationship, he and Ewing have a deeper relationship. After all, they have been together for so many years and have a deep brotherly relationship.

But he and Feilong have more in common and have greater interests. He got two rings with Feilong, and invested most of his savings in Feilong's Storm Fund. He made a lot of money with Feilong, so he still leaned towards Feilong.
