Chapter 316 Retirement

"With one shot, one break and one dunk, the Bulls' momentum has increased. This attack must be successful. Jordan is on the opposite side. Once the momentum rises, it is difficult to hold down."

Zhang Lili reminded in the live broadcast seat.

Zhao Dong still positioned himself according to the established tactics, but before asking for the ball, he made a tactical gesture, then grabbed McGrady to get the ball, and finally began a crushing breakthrough.

The Bulls also used the same double-team defensive tactic. Tracy McGrady quickly followed up with Zhao Dong, Rasheed Wallace covered Zhao Dong, Jordan covered up and moved to the basket, Oakley let go of Barkley, and the double-team was as big as .

"Zhao Dong passes the ball!"

Seeing that both Barkley and Billups were empty, Zhang Lili shouted anxiously.

But it was impossible for Zhao Dong to pass the ball. He saw that Barkley on the opposite weak side was empty and did not pass the ball.

He wanted to score this goal himself.

The tactical content represented by the tactical gesture he just made was to let Da Zhi move to the basket, he would pass it in first, and then Da Zhi would pass it back, a coordinated tactic under the basket.

At this time, Da Zhi moved to the basket, and Zhao Dong also broke in front of Rasheed Wallace.

He was well prepared. When he pulled the ball up from the floor, he squeezed it with five fingers of one hand. His big hand crushed the ball. He threw it inward very quickly. The ball flew from Rashid's head to the direction of Rashid. Big to.

The pass was deflected toward the baseline, avoiding Jordan who was on the upper side. He moved a step downward, caught the ball, and left the basket at the same time.

Rasheed Wallace immediately turned around and pounced on Da Zhi, executing a double-team.

Just when he jumped one step in front of Da Zhi, Da Zhi passed back.

"What?"

The three people who were double-teamed were startled and turned around quickly to see Zhao Dong coming over with the ball like a tiger.

One step, two steps, Zhao Dong stood up, holding the ball with both hands, and hit Rasheed Wallace who had just turned around under the basket with a two-handed dunk.

"boom!"

At the same time as the rim was exploded, his body hit Rasheed Wallace hard. The latter groaned and immediately fell to the sky, hitting Oakley and Jordan behind. The three of them suddenly They rolled into a ball and fell to the basket together.

"Bit!" the referee whistled.

"oh!"

A dunk knocked down three players, and the United Center screamed in surprise.

"yeah!"

The Knicks bench and hundreds of away fans cheered in excitement.

At this time, the story under the basket was not over yet. Zhao Dong landed from the basket, took a long step, and even raised his foot to pass over the head of Rasheed Wallace underneath him.

"oh!"

There was another exclamation in the United Center, and then there was dead silence.

"Oh oh oh, Fei Long humiliated Rasheed Wallace the way Pippen did." Cook said excitedly and surprised in the ABC live broadcast booth.

"Flying dragon?"

Jordan, who had just gotten up, said angrily.

"..."

Oakley also climbed up and shook his head helplessly.

"you?"

Only Rasheed Wallace couldn't get up for the time being. His chest was almost collapsed and his breath was not smooth. Now Zhao Dong stepped over his head. He was almost mad to death. His face was red and his teeth were fast. The bite bleeds.

The Bulls bench was as silent as the arena.

Ewing had a complicated look on his face. He remembered the moment when he was humiliated by Pippen in this way. Later, Zhao Dong humiliated Pippen in the same way and avenged him.

But now, he is standing on the opposite side of Zhao Dong.

"Maybe I was wrong."

He sighed secretly: "It's time to retire!"

"Fifty million. Following the G1 game in the Eastern Conference finals, we have exceeded 50 million ratings for the second time." At this time, Hubby Brown shouted excitedly.

"Such a scene is rare, so we can't help but ask, why would Fei Long humiliate Roaring Heavenly Lord in this way?"

Cook asked with a smile.

On the court, the referee pointed at Rasheed Wallace, who had just gotten up, and made a gesture to block the foul. Zhao Dongjia made a free throw.

Zhao Dong has already stood on the free throw line, preparing to take a free throw.

Rasheed Wallace gasped and stood on the sideline of the paint area, holding his knees with his hands, looking sideways at Zhao Dong, his eyes so red that they were almost bleeding.

Zhao Dong noticed it and smiled at Rasheed Wallace, but there was no smile on his face.

"boom!"

Perhaps the two-handed dunk just now affected his feel, so he missed the free throw.

Oakley grabbed the rebound and the Bulls attacked.

The two major Bulls insiders did not enter the paint area, which was very empty. Only Zhao Dong took the next step at the free throw line. Kidd advanced to the top of the arc with the ball, suddenly accelerated, and rushed towards Zhao Dong.

At the same time, McGrady accelerated from the left wing, quickly got rid of defender Billups, and cut to the basket.

At the same time, Jordan ditched the Madman on the right wing and moved closer to the paint.

Zhao Dong took a step forward and blocked Kidd, who quickly passed the ball to Jordan.

Zhao Dong quickly moved his defense and pounced on Jordan.

But just as he took a step forward, he suddenly stopped.

At this time, Jordan thought that Zhao Dong would go to guard him. Below him, Barkley came up from the low post to cover up, and his hands were on him, so he chose to pass the ball to McGrady.

Through continuous transfers, the Bulls also cooperated in the paint area.

But Zhao Dong's sudden braking caused problems in the passing and receiving of Jordan and McGrady.

Zhao Dong braked and immediately pounced back at McGrady, who was making a back cut against him. At this time, the ball flew over his head and slipped into McGrady's hands.

The ball was already in his hands. McGrady saw that Zhao Dong had reached the basket one step away and stretched out his big hand, so he chose to attack hard.

The next moment, he flew up towards Zhao Dong, trying to forcefully dunk the latter.

Zhao Dong also jumped up and pressed McGrady's ball with his big hand.

The two were in the air, and at this moment, they began to compete again with their ability to stay in the air and their ability to fight in the air.

"Bang!"

The next moment, McGrady bumped into Zhao Dong, and the ball in his right hand was pressed into the air by Zhao Dong's hands.

The next moment, Zhao Dong used both hands to grab the ball directly in the air. After landing, he took a step back with his right foot to stand firm.

But after McGrady landed, he took two steps back and then fell backwards to the ground.

Amid the exclamations of Bulls fans, the Knicks launched a defensive counterattack.

In the middle, Zhao Dong personally held the ball and advanced quickly.

"Stop him! Stop him quickly..."

The bull's on-site commentator roared urgently.

Kidd came up to press, Zhao Dong quickly transferred the ball to Billups, then bypassed Kidd and continued to rush forward, and then caught it back when he passed the midline.

"He hit Kidd! Michael is coming up..." the commentator's roar continued.

Jordan wanted to block Zhao Dong from outside the top of the arc. The latter first used Paul's acceleration and deceleration to control the former, and then followed up with Grant Hill's forward change of direction and a one-step breakthrough, directly breaking through Jordan and killing him. Entered the top of the arc.

"It's over!"

Seeing Zhao Dong assaulting Jordan again, the commentator sighed in despair.

Rasheed Wallace returned to the basket at this time. As soon as he turned around, he saw Zhao Dong flying up from the free throw line.

At this moment, his breath stopped and he instinctively jumped up to block the shot.

"boom!"

Amidst the violent sound of the basket being smashed, Roaring Heavenly Lord was like a swept fallen leaf, flying towards the bottom line under Zhao Dong's huge impact.

Boom, the floor jumped when Rasheed Wallace hit the ground.

"yeah!"

Hundreds of away fans roared wildly in excitement.

The home fans at the scene, including the on-site commentators and the Bulls bench, were all silent. The fiery atmosphere of the Bulls' home court was completely shattered.

"Crack, click, click..."

Media cameras behind the baseline flickered rapidly.

Zhao Dong did not glance at Roaring Tianzun who was struggling to get up on the floor. He turned around and walked to the backcourt, but was soon surrounded by Barkley and others.

Jordan ran to Rashid and saw a pale and painful face. He quickly twisted and shouted to the bench: "Doctor!"

In the ABC live broadcast, Cook shouted excitedly: "When a 115-kilogram man charges with a sprint close to Lightning Iverson, even O'Neal will be knocked away. Rasheed Wallace just now The most important thing to do was to get out of the way, but he chose to try his own best, and the result immediately proved that his choice was wrong, and he couldn't get up."

"Feilong really should go to the NFL. His position in the griddle box should be a defensive lineman or offensive lineman. He can run away from anyone who stops him, or block anyone who wants to sack the quarterback."

Hubie Brown smiled and shook his head in admiration.

In the CCTV live broadcast, Zhang Liji said with a cheerful smile: "Feilong still needs to be careful not to get hurt. With such a strong impact, the reaction force is mutual."

Sun Zhenping nodded and said: "The referee has stopped the game because Rasheed Wallace is injured."

Zhang Li said with a smile: "Now the Bulls' morale has been hit to the bottom. Rasheed Wallace may not be able to come back. In this G3 game, the Knicks are basically stable."

At this time, the Bulls' team doctor came on the scene. After a short inspection, he shook his head and said to Jordan next to him: "At least two ribs are broken."

With that said, he turned around and motioned for the stretcher to come on.

"damn it!"

Jordan turned around and glared at Zhao Dong, who was a few meters away. Do you want to hit him to death?

Looking at Rashid being carried on a stretcher, a trace of panic flashed in McGrady's eyes. He swore in his heart that he would never defend Zhao Dong like Rashid in the future. With his tonnage, he might be knocked directly into the auditorium. .

Phil Jackson immediately replaced Kurt Thomas, but he knew that this game was on the line, and if this game was lost, what would happen to the Eastern Conference Finals this time?

An hour and a half later, the game ended, 108:85, and the Knicks won a big victory.

Zhao Dong clocked in the third quarter, making 12 of 15 shots, with a shooting percentage of 80%, and 7 of 7 free throws. He scored a triple-double of 31 points, 16 assists and 11 rebounds.

In this game, under the strong tactical effect, he once again had an explosive performance. He played 32 minutes, made 10 of 14 shots, 5 of 6 free throws, and scored 25 points.

Barkley made 6 of 10 shots, 2 of 4 free throws, and scored 14 points.

The Knicks' three major insiders joined forces and contributed 70 points.

Jordan was replaced by Phil Jackson in the 6th minute of the final quarter. He made 21 of 32 shots. Under single defense, his shooting rate was as high as 65.6%. He made 1 of 3 three-pointers and 8 of 8 free throws. He scored 51 points. Highest score in the game.

Hubie Brown concluded after the game: “In this game, the Knicks won with tactics, interior offense, and efficiency.

Feilong only had one sluggish game and once again showed efficiency tonight, leading the team to a key victory. "

Cook continued: "Three to one, the Knicks lead the Bulls by a big score, and victory in the Eastern Conference Finals is in sight. Next, the two teams will return to New York for the G5 game."

In the CCTV live broadcast, Zhang Lili analyzed: "I don't know if Rasheed Wallace can play in the G5 game, but even if he can't play, the Bulls' internal defense is still very strong, and Kurt Thomas's defense is not weak. It's just that his scoring ability is not as good as Roaring God.

Generally speaking, if Rasheed cannot play, the Bulls' strength will definitely suffer a lot, and the Knicks are in sight of victory. "

On the court, Zhao Dong accepted a post-match interview.

"Feilong, 50% of the Knicks' offense tonight was in the paint, with a shooting percentage of 72% and 65% of the team's points. The team's overall shooting percentage was as high as 61%. It can be called an efficient game. Game, why is there such a big reversal in performance between the G4 game and the G3 game?"

Thomas, the reporter accompanying the team, asked.

"The role of tactics, through tactics, is that all of our abilities are brought out to the best. Here I want to praise our coaching staff, they have done a lot of work, they don't even sleep and study various tactics all night long. " Zhao Dong said with a smile.

"Feilong, do you think the Eastern Conference Finals will end in G5?" a reporter asked.

"No one can stop us from ending the Eastern Conference Finals series in G5." Zhao Dong said confidently.

"Why?" the reporter asked.

"Because of tactics, tonight's offensive tactics, I think there is no way to solve it with the Bulls' lineup." Zhao Dong said.

The reporter did not want to ask further questions, so he ended the on-site interview.

An hour later, the two teams' post-match press conference began.

The atmosphere in the Bulls press conference hall was not good and very dull.

Not only is he at a disadvantage in the Eastern Conference Finals, but just now, Ewing announced that he will retire after the playoffs.

"Over the past two or three years, I have been very unlucky. I have been seriously injured continuously and my body can no longer support it. I will officially leave the sport I love..."

Ewing said with tears in his eyes.

"Patrick, don't you hope to return to the Knicks and retire?" a New York Times reporter asked.

Ewing was silent for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "Of course I hope, that's a place I want to go back to in my dreams. But, I, I'm afraid I won't have that chance."

The news that Ewing announced his retirement once again hit the Bulls' morale.

"Coach Jackson, the Bulls were once again defeated tactically by the Knicks in this game. What's your explanation for this?"

A local reporter asked in a questioning tone.

Jordan looked at the reporter and said nothing.

Phil Jackson was silent for a moment and said: "Actually, we do have difficulties in defense. No matter what kind of defense we make, we have to admit one thing. If we want to defend Feilong, I mean to lower him. We can't guard him at all. Even if we want to limit his efficiency, we need at least three people.

There are five people in total. We use three of them to guard Feilong. Who do we want to guard the other four Knicks players?

We can't have multiple people double-teaming him every time. Due to our physical limitations, we can't do that. The consequence of that would be a half-time collapse.

And if we only double-team Feilong, our restrictions on him will be very low, and the Knicks can still beat us.

So I don't want to shirk responsibility. In three seasons and three Eastern Conference Finals, we haven't really guarded him since his rookie season. There's nothing I can do about it. If you want to pursue someone's responsibility, then I will bear it. "

Jordan finally couldn't help it anymore, picked up the microphone in front of him, stood up, and said angrily to all the reporters: "What do we have to do now is to hold someone accountable? Well, if we fail in the Eastern Conference Finals, I will bear all the consequences." Responsibility, I retire.”

"oh!"

Everyone in the hall exclaimed at the same time.

"No, it's me. If we fail in the Eastern Conference Finals again, I will choose to leave." Phil Jackson said.

"oh!"

There were exclamations in the hall again.

Before the Knicks press conference ended, Zhao Dong learned about the news from the Bulls press conference from the reporters below.

"Feilong, what do you think of Ewing announcing his retirement?" a reporter asked.

Zhao Dong thought for a while and said: "This is very sudden. I hope he will think it over carefully before making a decision."

"If he hopes to return to the Knicks and retire, do you have any ideas?" the reporter asked.

"I don't have any ideas. That's a management matter. I won't and can't interfere. I think that's what you mean?"

Zhao Dong said.

"Feilong, Jordan said that if he fails in the Eastern Conference Finals, he will retire. What do you think?" a reporter asked.

Zhao Dong smiled and said: "I said at the beginning of this season that I support his retirement after this Eastern Conference Finals."

"oh!"

many reporters exclaimed.

"Why?"

A reporter asked in surprise.

Zhao Dongdao: "Although I don't have a good relationship with him, I admit that he is a strong man. I don't want to see him become a stepping stone for some young players when he gets old, so I hope he can still be alone. Retire when he scores 50+ points in a game, so that he will still be the idol worshiped by young players.

Of course, the most important reason is that I hope that he can be defeated by me alone, rather than just a young man randomly running out and defeating him. "

"What if you get old?" The reporter asked again.

"I'm still far away from growing old. You can ask me this question again in twenty years." Zhao Dong said with a smile.

Oakley was surprised. He was being interviewed by reporters in the locker room and learned about Ewing's announcement of retirement from the reporters.

"Charles, do you think Ewing should retire here?" the reporter asked.

"No, he shouldn't retire here. He doesn't belong here at all. He should return to the Knicks. That's the team he should retire to. This fool, Feilong will not stop him from retiring in the Knicks at all. , Feilong is not that kind of person."

Oakley shook his head.

"Do you think Feilong really won't stop Ewing from going back?" the reporter asked.

"I can guarantee that Feilong's most likely attitude is not to interfere with matters related to Ewing." Oakley said with certainty.

Soon after, the press conference between the two parties ended at about the same time. When Zhao Dong came out, he happened to meet Jordan and his party.
