Chapter 311: Big Explosion

At this time, the Knicks advanced to the frontcourt and reached the right short corner.

Zhao Dong did not go down low, but after getting the ball from the left wing, he took one step past Jordan and broke through to the left elbow area.

Here, McGrady immediately made up the defense, and at the same time, Oakley, who was under the basket, pounced fiercely, preparing to double-team Zhao Dong in the left elbow area, forming a three-man encirclement with Jordan and McGrady.

Rashid, who was in the low post on the left wing, immediately moved to the basket to prevent Zhao Dong from breaking through the double team and getting to the basket, while also preparing to grab the rebound.

At this time, Da Zhi once again followed Roaring Tianzun and cut back to the basket.

Zhao Dong passed the ball, received the ball, and formed a one-on-one duel with Rasheed Wallace under the basket.

The duel didn't last long, because Oakley immediately turned back to defend the basket, so after catching the ball, he turned around and started to hit Roaring Tianzun with his back on the edge of the collision area on the left front side of the basket.

Oakley quickly pounced on DaZhi, and a double-team was about to form. At this moment, DaZhi suddenly threw the ball over Oakley's head.

"No, Fei Long!"

Oakley was startled. At this moment, there was wind behind him and a shadow came over him.

When Oakley returned to defend Da Zhi, Zhao Dong's obstacle to the basket was gone. He immediately followed the pass. At this time, Da Zhi passed the ball. With his body rising, he grabbed the ball with one hand and flew from behind Oakley. Pass, take advantage of the trend and smash forward.

"boom!"

When the basket was smashed, Rasheed Wallace was also knocked over under the basket.

"Beep!"

The referee blew his whistle, pointed at Roaring Heavenly Lord, and made a gesture to block the foul.

"Yeah! The flying dragon dunks over the Roaring God. He is telling Rasheed Wallace to give up. All your resistance is in vain."

The on-site commentator roared.

"Beautiful, the Chinese King and Feilong's cooperation under the basket was so beautiful!" Cook praised in the ABC live broadcast booth.

Hubie Brown said: "In the past two seasons, the Knicks' interior defense has been very strong, but since Ewing left, there is a weakness that has not been made up, and that is the height of the basket and the offense under the basket.

The Knicks' low-post offense, including offense at the basket, has always relied on Feilong to make up for it, but he plays the third position, which is actually a big weakness.

But judging from today's game, especially these two goals, Feilong and the Chinese King played wonderful cooperation under the basket. I think this is good and makes up for this weakness, or flaw.

The Chinese king has height and vision at the basket. He can play by himself and pass good balls. And Ben Wallace, Fordson, or the previous Oakley, or even Feilong himself, do not have the height to the basket, and their vision is affected. "

Under the basket, Rasheed Wallace got up in disgrace, the fire in his stomach could no longer be contained.

At this time, there was an additional penalty. Rashid and Da Zhi stood together and prepared to grab rebounds. The two crowded around. The former failed to control his emotions and hit the latter's chest with his elbow, while spewing trash talk: "Damn Chinese, stay away from me."

"Be tough and fight back resolutely when provoked!" At this time, Zhao Dong's countless instructions to him rang in Da Zhi's mind.

"boom!"

At this time, Zhao Dong made a free throw and the ball hit the basket.

When Da Zhi saw it, it bounced right on his head. He immediately jumped up and grabbed the ball with both hands. When he landed, he swung his elbows and turned around to sweep the ball.

"boom!"

"ah!"

His left elbow shook violently, and at the same time Rashid screamed,

He covered his face and fell to the ground, howling and rolling around on the floor.

"Beep!"

The referee thought for a moment and blew the whistle.

"Sir, this is just a normal ball-protecting action. It was caused by the defender grabbing the ball, not No. 45 actively elbowing the player."

Zhao Dong went up and explained.

"Feilong, don't favor your people, he is obviously the one who elbowed you." Jordan immediately rushed over and said angrily.

"Then when Rasheed Wallace elbowed someone when I was making a free throw just now, I should have been awarded at least a first-level flagrant technical foul. Do you think no one saw it? Do you want me to swing my elbow at you? Then you can Don't regret it." Zhao Dong said angrily.

"You?" Jordan was extremely angry and speechless.

"Hey, calm down and don't argue. The whole world is watching you."

The referee quickly intervened between the two of them. He did not dare to allow violence in this game, otherwise he would be skinned by Stern.

He gave Da Da an offensive foul and the ball returned to the Bulls.

"Shh!"

The home fans refused to comply and immediately booed the referee.

Rashid got up at this time. There was no bleeding on his face, but his left cheekbone was already red. It was a bruise, not a big problem, but the pain was very painful.

"He's the same as when you were elbowed by the postman last time. The rolling movements are very painful. I can feel your pain."

Zhao Dong said to Jordan next to Roaring Tianzun.

Rasheed Wallace was panting heavily with anger and his head was buzzing, but his fists were bleeding and he did not dare to attack Zhao Dong.

Jordan was also very angry. What kind of bullshit is this? He was rolling around. Didn’t I just roll over twice?

"Next time someone grabs your ball and does this again, you should make sure that the opponent doesn't dare to get close to you. Hit him with one punch to avoid hundreds of punches. This is the truth taught to us by ***. You are Active duty people should understand this truth. At worst, you will be elbowed and bruised, so what? Get up and knock him over."

Zhao Dong turned around and stared at Da Zhi and said in a deep voice.

"Yes, fuck him."

DaZhi clenched his fists and nodded heavily.

The black-faced Jordan looked back at Oakley angrily, "Charles, when you were in the Knicks, you were at the forefront in fights, but when you got to the Bulls, you changed."

Oakley shrugged, "I can play basketball, but don't expect me to be aggressive with the Knicks. I stayed here for eight or nine seasons, several times longer than the Bulls."

Next, the Bulls serve.

"drop!"

Before the ball passed half court, the referee blew his whistle and pointed at Rasheed Wallace, making a pushing gesture for an offensive foul.

"Shet!"

Rasheed Wallace was so angry that his nose was crooked, what did I do?

He could no longer control his emotions and roared at the referee: "Which eye did you see that I committed a foul? I didn't do anything, I didn't do anything..."

"Hey, Rasheed, don't act nonsense..." Jordan saw something bad and ran over quickly.

But it was too late, the referee had already compared his hands and gave Roaring Tianzun a T.

Roaring Heavenly Lord was still about to roar, but was pushed away by Jordan.

Zhao Dong said to Fordson beside him: "Danny, don't learn from this fool."

"I know, boss." Fordson nodded repeatedly with a smile.

"Roaring Sky Lord is used to taking T-balls. Just now he pushed the Chinese King when he was running. His movement was not big. This should be the referee's compensation. After all, this is the home court of the Knicks. He returned the ball to the Knicks. ” laughed Whoopi Brown.

"Roaring God and Beast Fordson, who ranked first and second in T-shirts last season, continue to eat T-shirts this season and remain first, but Fordson has learned to control his emotions on the court, and the Knicks chose to keep him. It makes sense. As his fouls and T-counts decrease, he stays on the court longer and longer and becomes more efficient," Cook said.

"That was Feilong's suppression. Although Jordan is very prestigious in the Bulls, his intimidation in the locker room is far less than Feilong." Hubie Brown said.

"Of course, if you can blow Tyson's head off, who dares to say no to Feilong in the locker room?" Cook joked.

"I heard that after the season, Feilong will have a fight with Lewis and Holyfield. It will be a world boxing title fight, and it will definitely be exciting."

Whoopi Brown looks authentic.

"Then the NBA must be careful not to let its signature star be abducted by the professional boxing world." Cook joked.

"Haha..." The two of them burst out laughing.

As big as a technical penalty hit, at 12:19, the Knicks attacked.

This time, Zhao Dong directly positioned himself low on the left wing, and Fordson and Da Zhi all pulled out of the penalty area.

Rashid stared at Zhao Dong and Da Zhi at the same time to avoid another back cut.

But at this moment, the Madman started, cutting into the paint between Jordan and Roaring God, receiving Zhao Dong's back pass, and hitting a layup.

Bulls offense, 12:21, Phil Jackson called the first timeout.

Hubie Brown praised: "Today the Knicks' offensive coordination under the basket was so good. Feilong attracted the defensive attention on the strong side and then cut in on the weak side. This kind of pass to the basket has a far higher success rate." Higher than Feilong’s pass to the outside.”

Cook said: "During the Bulls dynasty, Cobra Grant was good at the inside, and Pippen was also good at cutting. Coupled with Jordan's breakthrough, the offense at the basket was quite good.

But the current Bulls, in terms of strength, are stronger than that Bull on paper, but in terms of cutting ability, they should be weaker than that Bull.

McGrady is still a little immature and Jordan is getting older, so this Bulls lacks the ability to cut inside. "

Hubie Brown continued: "The Bulls must increase their offense at the basket to improve their shooting percentage. In this game, the Knicks' offensive tactics are completely different from the previous game, and the Bulls did not have the defense to respond."

Cook said: "The Bulls' defense against Feilong was very good in the last game, which reduced his efficiency. However, this time Feilong no longer mainly attacks and cooperates under the basket, so the Bulls should still have to gain a foothold on the defensive end." To limit Feilong, his passing in the low post, and his offense."

On the Bulls bench, Phil Jackson was arranging tactics.

"If Feilong attacks from the outside, we still have the same old method as in the last game, put one, double-team him, and prevent him from crossing the free throw line. Which one to put, we put it from the outside and leave Billups open. Rasheed, you You have to keep an eye on Wang and don't let him get close to the basket easily. If he pulls out..."

At this point, he hesitated. Wang scored 13 of the Knicks' 21 points. His scoring ability cannot be underestimated.

However, the Knicks have strengthened their offense at the basket. Except for the three three-pointers, all other offenses occurred at the basket. The Bulls' defensive focus should still be at the basket.

"You take two steps and give him a small opening. If the ball is given to him, immediately return to defense and reduce his shooting rate." He finally said.

"If Feilong enters the low post, Fordson pulls out, and we release him, we must limit Feilong's offensive efficiency in the low post, as well as his passing. Rashid, at this time, you release Wang and provide weak side assistance to Feilong. To defend, we need to cut off the passing line between him and Wang from behind."

The timeout ended, it was the 8th minute of the first quarter.

The Knicks made a substitution, Billups came off the game and Hu Weidong came on.

The Bulls replaced Oakley and replaced Kurt Thomas with no substitutions on the outside.

After Jordan broke through, he got a small open space. Kidd quickly passed the ball. The former caught the ball and made a jump shot, making a hit.

"Get back to defense quickly!"

The Bulls assistant coach shouted urgently from the sidelines.

It turned out that the Knicks made a quick transition between offense and defense, serving from the baseline, throwing with both hands, and passing directly to Zhao Dong who was coming down quickly.

His passing skills are far better than Ben's and Fordson's. He has good vision and has no problem with direct passes. He is accurate and fast.

Zhao Dong rushed into the frontcourt after receiving the ball. When he rushed to the top of the arc, Kidd and Jordan chased him and tried to steal his ball.

He pulled the ball up, put it together with both hands, jumped up, turned around in the air, glanced at it, and then threw it with both hands and passed it to the madman parked on the left wing three-point line.

The madman caught the ball, and Tracy McGrady next to Hu Weidong rushed over. He threw with both hands and gave it to Hu Weidong who was stopped on the right side of the top of the arc.

Hu Weidong was completely free. He caught the ball and aimed at the basket for a full second before taking the shot calmly.

"brush!"

The water splashed and he hit a three-pointer.

"It's beautiful. Hu Weidong hit an open three-pointer right after he came on the court." Sun Zhenping said excitedly.

Zhang Lili quickly analyzed: "Old Nelson changed his offensive tactics again. He replaced Billups, who was not very stable offensively, and replaced him with Hu Weidong. Then he accelerated the rhythm of offensive and defensive transitions and used Zhao Dong to attack in the fast break. The impact of the rim attracts the Bulls' defense, and then allows the outside to get wide open opportunities."

In the ABC live broadcast, Hubie Brown praised: "Old Nelson is known as the inventor of tactics. His tactics are too flexible and he constantly changes tactics, making the Bulls unable to defend and exhausted.

In fact, Phil Jackson did not adjust his defensive tactics in time before. After the timeout, he should have made some adjustments, but now that Nelson has changed his tactics again, his adjustments may not be effective.

The game is a contest between players, but it is also a contest between coaches. Phil Jackson is obviously not as good as Nelson in terms of adaptability. "

Cook laughed: "I was thinking maybe the Bulls would call timeout again."

Sure enough, Phil Jackson is not an ordinary person. He just called a timeout and only played one round. After serving, he asked the court to call a timeout.

According to his opinion, there was a tactical problem this time. His defensive tactics did not keep up with the Knicks' offensive routine and must be adjusted.

On the Knicks bench, Nelson said: "This time, we will catch the Bulls off guard again."

When Zhao Dong and other players heard this, they all rolled their eyes helplessly. If you keep changing it again and again, maybe we will all be stunned by you.

At the end of the timeout, the Knicks made another substitution. Ben came on the court and replaced DaDa, who was feeling hot.

Zhang Lili immediately analyzed: "Substituting Da Zhi, the Knicks restored the strength of the inside and increased their control of defense and rebounding. This is another targeted substitution, because Phil Jackson called a timeout, it must be a substitution People and adjust defensive tactics.

Nelson has strengthened his interior defense. Is this to reduce breakthroughs and increase outside jump shots? Of course, this also stops the Bulls from penetrating the paint. "

Game start.

Bulls offense.

Kidd broke through with the ball and was double-teamed by Ben and Zhao Dong under the basket. He passed the ball to McGrady who was responding at the top of the arc. McGrady missed a three-pointer. Ben grabbed the rebound and Zhao Dong wanted to pass the ball. Hold the ball and get down immediately.

"The Knicks once again hit the fast break, and the Chinese Hu and the Madman were making fast breaks, and the flying dragon made a long pass..." the on-site commentator roared loudly.

Hu Weidong received the ball, Jordan followed up, and the former passed the ball to the madman on the left.

The madman caught the ball and McGrady followed up. The former passed the ball to Zhao Dong who was at the top of the arc.

Zhao Dong caught the ball and immediately attracted most of the Bulls' defensive attention. Rashid and Kothomas, who quickly returned to defense, stopped beside him.

But at this time Fordson rushed into the penalty area from the side, and the Bulls' defense was completely attracted to the outside, with no one at the basket.

Zhao Dong passed the ball directly in front of the basket. Fordson stared at the basketball above his head and flew up. With a bang, he hit the basket with a two-handed dunk.

"Yeah, an alley-oop dunk, the flying dragon assists the beast, the Knicks' fast break is unstoppable!" the on-site commentator yelled excitedly.

"You see, strengthening interior defense and preventing the Bulls from breaking through is a tactical response. Nelson is too strong, and Phil Jackson failed to follow his routine."

Zhang Lili said excitedly.

After the first quarter, at 18:30, the Knicks led by 12 points at home.

Hubie Brown praised: "Today the Knicks played a very smooth offense, with cooperation under the basket, inside and outside cooperation, fast breaks, defensive counterattacks, very efficient.

Nelson made full use of Feilong's ability to attract double-teams and proactively changed offensive tactics several times, completely disrupting the Bulls' rhythm and letting the Bulls follow his baton. The Bulls were very passive. "

Cook said with a smile: "If we keep playing like this, the Bulls have no chance of winning today."

In the CCTV live broadcast, Zhang Lili analyzed: "Zhao Dong did not play the main offense in the first quarter and made 5 of 5 shots. At the same time, he sent 7 assists in a single quarter without making a single mistake. The efficiency was very high.

The Bulls must have completely misjudged today. They thought Zhao Dong would still focus on the offense, so they defended Zhao Dong to the letter, even at the expense of shorting Da Zhi and other outsiders.

However, Nelson did not arrange for Zhao Dong to be the main attacker. Instead, he strengthened the cooperation under the basket and added some fast breaks.

We often say that if Zhao Dong doesn't pass the ball, the Knicks' overall efficiency is higher, but today it's the opposite. Zhao Dong had 7 assists in a single quarter, and the Knicks scored 30 points in a single quarter, while the Bulls only scored 18 points. It can be said that they were blown away. bull.

So, tactics are very important. Of course, this also requires players to have superb tactical execution, which is golf intelligence. "

In the next game, Phil Jackson tried to take the initiative to change, but his tactical routines were not as rich as Nelson's. Basically, he focused on the triangle offense, supplemented by sudden points, passes and cuts.

His routines have long been understood clearly by Old Nelson, who always makes tactical adjustments first and takes the initiative.

Until the end of the game, the Bulls did not regain the lead. 84:105, the Knicks defeated the Knicks at home by 21 points.
