Chapter 363: Defeated

Latest website: The timeout is over and the Lakers attack.

O'Neal entered the basket again, but the Knicks did not hold him tightly and allowed him to enter the basket. Then Zhao Dong and Fordson double-teamed O'Neal without the ball, leaving the team open.

But Phil Jackson changed the offensive tactics. O'Neal's position was only outside the reasonable collision area on the left side of the basket and still within the paint area, so that Ben got space under the basket.

Fordson took a look and wanted to give up the double-team and defend Ben, but Zhao Dong yelled: "Leave him alone!"

So Fordson continued to defend in front of O'Neal and continued the off-ball double-teaming tactic.

Ron Harper, who was in possession of the ball, tried to lob the ball because Phil Jackson demanded that O'Neal's spot be opened.

Triangular tactics, if the most powerful superstar is blocked at this point, it's over. If you can't fight, you have to fight hard.

The ball was hoisted over, and Fordson in front jumped first. O'Neal also wanted to jump, but Zhao Dong pushed his center of gravity and failed to fully jump.

The ball hung high, and Fordson couldn't catch it, but his fingertips touched the ball and lit it up.

At this time, Zhao Dong took a step forward, took off, grabbed the ball, and completed the steal.

The three defenders immediately turned around and went down quickly. Zhao Dong used his long pass to find the madman. The madman had already dropped Glen Rice and successfully reached the basket and successfully made a layup.

Lakers offense.

Phil Jackson had been standing on the sidelines. The situation was so urgent that he had no chance to sit down.

This time the ball was given to Kobe, who drew the defense on the right wing and then passed it in.

But Kobe could only attract the Knicks' perimeter defense. Zhao Dong and Fordson still double-teamed O'Neal without the ball in the paint.

Kobe stopped passing the ball as soon as he saw it. He took it upon himself and hit a mid-range shot.

10:4, Knicks attack.

There were several fast breaks in the opening game. This time it was a positional battle. After arriving in the frontcourt, the Knicks' three outsiders passed the ball continuously at the three-point line, constantly tearing apart to attract the Lakers' defensive attention.

Fordson pulled to the right,

O'Neal defended the right sideline of the paint area and took two steps.

On the left wing, Zhao Dong pulled further and defended.

Ben still maintained an active fight, but this time, Zhao Dong suddenly cut outside and created a pick-and-roll for Ginobili who was holding the ball.

Ginobili used the wall to hold the ball and reached the wing. He couldn't make a defensive switch and was caught.

At this time, Zhao Dong followed Ginobili to the paint area.

Ginobili entered the paint from the wing, and O'Neal returned to defend the basket. The former suddenly changed direction upwards. After avoiding O'Neal, his body twisted into a twist, and the ball in his hand was suddenly sent toward the basket.

This action of picking the basket immediately focused all O'Neal's defensive attention on the basketball. In the next moment, he would jump up and confiscate the ball.

However, Ginobili's hand suddenly shook, and the basketball did not go to the basket, but passed to Zhao Dong who was following behind.

"It's over!"

O'Neal turned around and saw Zhao Dong cutting into the paint at high speed, but his body had no time to react.

Zhao Dong took a step into the paint, and when the ball came, he stepped directly onto the ground, grabbed the ball with his right hand in the air, and hit O'Neal under the basket with a one-arm dunk that was level with the basket.

"boom!"

As the basket whined, O'Neal staggered back and collapsed after two steps.

"oh!"

A huge exclamation echoed from the Staples Center, drowning out the referee's whistle.

"Another dunk. Rookie Manu Ginobili and Feilong played a wonderful alley-oop dunk. They tricked Shaquille O'Neal. Oh, they made a big feud!"

Bill Walton shouted excitedly.

"The Argentinian rookie's movements looked awkward, but the effect of the fake action was good. The shark did not notice the flying dragon that followed up. As the price of the defensive error, he could only accept the outcome of being dunked again. This is for the most important person. For a dominant super center, this is an absolute humiliation. O'Neal was so pitiful today! Haha..."

Matt said with a sad look on his face, then burst into laughter, making him fall forward and backward with laughter.

Bill Walton couldn't control it, he laughed a few times, and then said: "But he will definitely say that this is not a front buckle, Feilong is cheating, and this buckle does not count."

"Then will Feilong once again prove that he can dunk O'Neal head-on? Haha..." Matt laughed again.

O'Neal, who was lying on the floor, felt like his brain was about to explode. He was buzzing. Why did God do this to me? Didn't I just take Kobe to pick up a girl yesterday? This is a good thing. Why should I punish him?

In his dazed sight, a face suddenly appeared, a face that he particularly hated now. He wanted to close his eyes and not look at that face, but as soon as he closed his eyes, something suddenly flowed out of his eyes.

"Oh, Shark, your eyes actually sweat?"

Zhao Dong was very curious when he saw two drops of water in the corner of O'Neal's eyes.

"roll!"

O'Neal became angry with embarrassment. After an angry sentence, he smeared his face with his big hands, turned over and climbed up. He put his big-faced tiger on Zhao Dong's head and roared: "Feilong, you pissed me off, you really pissed me off..." "

"Are you going to continue to chop 50+ off my head?" Zhao Dong asked.

"..."

O'Neal paused and roared: "Just wait for me, sooner or later I will chop 50+ on your head."

"Then I will blow 50+ on your head today."

Zhao Dong laughed, and after saying this, turned and walked to the free throw line.

O'Neal blocked the foul, Zhao Dongjia made a free throw, and the Lakers attacked.

This time, in order to avoid being double-teamed without the ball, O'Neal did not go into the basket, but asked for the ball in the low post on the left wing.

Indeed, Fordson didn't come over to double-team.

When Ron Harper saw it, he quickly passed the ball down.

Just when he released the ball, Fordson on the right side of the basket immediately started a weak-side defensive double-team, and Ben was once again left open.

"I finally caught the ball!"

O'Neal was so excited that he carried Zhao Dong with his left hand, caught the ball with one hand with his right hand, dribbled the ball, carried Zhao Dong and started to hit inward.

His idea was to squeeze in one step, and when he was two meters away from the basket, he would turn around like a shark, and then rush in to change the basket for Zhao Dong.

But he only had time to dribble the ball. There was another person and two big hands beside him, and Fordson on the weak side arrived.

"Snapped!"

The ball was knocked away by Fordson and then grabbed by Zhao Dong. O'Neal made a mistake and the ball was intercepted.

"ah!"

O'Neill was so angry that he looked at Zhao Dong who was about to get off, his eyes almost bursting with fire.

Stackhouse caught the ball and drove to the basket. He noticed that Kobe and Ron Harper were chasing him behind him. Instead of forcing a shot, he pulled to the left, pushed with one hand, and gave the ball to the open madman. .

"brush!"

The Madman stopped outside the three-point line on the left wing, caught the ball and took a second look before taking a shot, hitting a three-pointer.

16:4, the Lakers added another timeout after serving.

"Okay, it was only five minutes into the game and the Lakers were stopped for the second time. The Knicks' tactics were too good today."

Zhang Lili said excitedly: "Old Nelson seized on the weakness of the Lakers' lineup and decisively used the off-ball double-teaming tactic. He used two top defensive players to strangle O'Neal, the strongest point, and completely paralyzed Phil Jackson's triangle offense. Tactics.”

"Coach Zhang, the main problem why the Knicks double-teamed O'Neal unscrupulously and didn't even let him catch the ball was that Ben was left empty. What if the Lakers replaced Ben?" Su Qun asked.

Zhang Lianda said: "Oh, it depends on what Nelson decides. He may continue to double-team without the ball, or he may double-team when O'Neal catches the ball like just now.

The Lakers have Robert Horry on the bench. This is a power forward who can stretch the field and is very accurate in three-pointers at critical moments. Although his three-point shooting percentage this season is average, only 31%, and he only averages 1.2 three-pointers per game. He split the ball and made 0.4 shots, but I think the Knicks would not dare to let him go. "

Sure enough, Phil Jackson had no choice but to remove Ben and replace him with Horry.

Horry is 29 years old. He has been playing as a substitute for the Lakers this season, averaging 5.7 points and 4.8 rebounds per game. His efficiency is not as good as last season, but he is still an important rotation player that Phil Jackson can rely on and can be used at critical moments.

The tactic he gave Horry was to pull out on the offensive end, to the corners of both wings, to prevent the Knicks from double-teaming O'Neal.

As soon as he came on the court, Horry pulled directly to the left corner, and Fordson followed.

O'Neal immediately squeezed toward the basket, but Zhao Dong couldn't bear the former's tonnage and responded by going around to defend.

As soon as O'Neal saw Zhao Dong coming forward, he immediately pushed the latter outward, using his knees and elbows in order to get more space under the basket so that he could hoist the ball in from the outside.

Sure enough, after he pushed Zhao Dong away from the basket, Ron Harper lobbed the ball in.

With his right hand against Zhao Dong, O'Neal caught the ball with his left hand, and then suddenly exploded. With a bang, he hit a one-handed dunk that made the basket tremble and nod.

"yeah!"

Finally seeing the Shark score, all the Lakers fans in the audience cheered enthusiastically, with tears in their eyes.

"Feilong, let me see how you can defend me now?" O'Neal opened his eyes angrily and roared at Zhao Dong.

"16:6, 7:2."

Zhao Dong spit out two scores, which were the scores between the two teams and the two men, instantly extinguishing O'Neal's roar.

"You wait."

O'Neal said unwillingly.

It was the Knicks' turn to attack.

Zhao Dong pulled to the 30-degree three-point line on the left wing, close to the sideline, and his position was under the dotted line of the free throw line. The other three defenders all pulled to the three-point line, with Fordson at the basket and O'Neal defending.

Horry was guarding in front of Zhao Dong. He was a little nervous. He put his right hand on Zhao Dong and looked at Ginobili who was controlling the ball at the top of the arc.

"The Knicks are all stretched out, the sharks should be careful of the impact of the flying dragon!" At this time, the on-site commentator reminded loudly.

O'Neal also heard it, with a very serious look on his face, staring at Zhao Dong from time to time, and then at Ginobili holding the ball.

To be honest, he didn't want to get knocked over again.

At this moment, Zhao Dong started. When Horry's eyes moved to Ginobili again, he opened Horry's right hand with one hand and rushed towards the paint area.

The next moment, Ginobili's ball came in and he got it.

This time, the Lakers' defensive attention was all focused on him.

"squeak!"

Zhao Dong braked and stopped on the left line of the paint area.

With his pull-up jump shot, no one dared to let him take an open shot here, so O'Neal had to make up for it and dropped Fordson under the basket.

Zhao Dong stopped suddenly and did not jump up. Instead, he pushed his dribbling right hand forward. The ball passed through O'Neal, hit the board, rebounded, and entered the basket.

Fordson caught the ball and hit a two-handed dunk under the basket, smashing O'Neal's basket.

Bill Walton shook his head and said: "Horry can't guard Feilong. As long as Feilong breaks through Horry and threatens the paint, O'Neal has to make up for it, and the basket will be empty."

Matt said: "Even if he doesn't make up for it, even if Feilong doesn't take a shot himself, did you notice that the madman on the weak side has already cut in, Feilong can completely give it to the madman, and the madman dunks from behind O'Neal, and he has to be dunked again. .”

Bill Walton laughed and said: "Although Horry is a power forward, he is only 100 kilograms. His tonnage, strength, and speed are not as good as the flying dragon. Once he is caught, he cannot be guarded. If the Lakers continue to let him guard the flying dragon, The result was that O'Neal was beaten under the basket."

Matt said: "Phil Jackson shouldn't be able to come up with good defensive tactics now, so he can only use it temporarily. At least on the offensive end, Horry is still useful, and can prevent O'Neal from being double-teamed."

Bill Walton said: "Yes, the Knicks play a three-guard tactic. Few guards come in to participate in low-post double-teams. Feilong and Fordson double-team themselves. Fordson is pulled away by Terry, and Feilong has to defend alone. O'Neal. It seems that the Lakers are a bit embarrassed when they meet the Knicks and get Ben Wallace from the Knicks, but they can't use him!"

The Lakers came to the offensive end, and Horry pulled to the left corner again, creating an opportunity for O'Neal to single out Zhao Dong.

But this time, when the ball went in, the three Knicks defenders suddenly shrank and began to double-team O'Neal, forming a four-and-one situation at the basket.

"Snapped!"

As soon as O'Neal received the ball against Zhao Dong, he was slapped away by Stackhouse who rushed over, and then the ball was grabbed by Ginobili.

"It was broken, the ball was broken. The Knicks played the Flying Dragon Rule against O'Neal under the basket. In the case of four-and-one, O'Neal lost the ball."

Su Qun shouted excitedly.

Entering the frontcourt, Zhao Dong did not pull out this time, but directly took a position in the low post on the left wing.

This position is too close to the basket, and Horry cannot be qualified to guard him. O'Neal must guard him, and Horry will help defend on the weak side.

Regarding this situation, Phil Jackson estimated that his defensive tactic was that when Zhao Dong received the ball, Horry immediately assisted on the weak side to defend, while O'Neal blocked the passing route between Zhao Dong and the weak side.

"Come on, little man." O'Neal spat trash talk.

"boom!"

In anger, Zhao Dong turned around and gave O'Neal an elbow. The elbow made O'Neal's teeth clenched and he closed his mouth.

Taking this opportunity, Zhao Dong suddenly took a step outside to ask for the ball. After O'Neal came up, the ball came into his hands.

The moment he caught the ball, he suddenly turned down and slid down. When dribbling, he almost squatted down, with his head only reaching O'Neal's waist.

O'Neal instinctively grabbed a handful and swept his hand over Zhao Dong's head. He didn't touch it because Zhao Dong's height was too low.

Horry, who came from the weak side to help defend, reacted quickly and immediately stopped in his position, but at this time Zhao Dong jumped up in front of him and casually threw the ball over his head.

As soon as he turned around, he saw the ball sliding past the basket. Fordson jumped up on the opposite side of the basket, caught the ball with both hands in the air, and bang, it was a dunk.

"20:6, the Knicks are leading by 14 points on the road, and it's only the eighth minute of the first quarter." Zhang Li said with a smile.

Su Qun said excitedly: "The Knicks' tactics were so good today. All attacks were targeted and all attacks were successful. The performance was simply too strong!"

Zhang Lili reminded: "The next thing to note is that Kobe is very likely, no, will definitely take over the ball. Now he has this qualification and status in the Lakers.

When Fisher served as the main point guard last season, he controlled the Lakers' ball rights. This season, Ron Harper came and his ball rights were weakened. But now that Harper has failed to organize the offense, he will definitely take over. Right of the ball. "

Sure enough, back on the offensive end, as soon as Kobe arrived in the frontcourt, he started asking for the ball.

"Hey, Ron, give me the ball quickly." Kobe shouted from outside the three-point line on the right wing.

To be honest, Kobe's current attitude towards basketball is even more paranoid than in his previous life.

Due to strong pressure from Zhao Dong, he conducted intensive training in three consecutive offseasons, and his strength has been greatly improved.

His own strength improved rapidly, which gave him a perverted request. He hoped that his teammates could also improve and keep up with him.

This was impossible, and as a result, the relationship between him and his teammates became worse and worse, worse than in the previous life.

When he got married in his last life, none of his teammates attended the wedding, not even his agent or Phil Jackson. This shows the difference in his relationship within the Lakers. In this life, the relationship is even worse. He has almost no communication with his teammates in the locker room. .

Ron Harper, who had just arrived with the Lakers, felt uncomfortable when he heard Kobe's very stiff and even commanding request for the ball, so he ignored it.

The ball went to Glen Rice, who faked a shot and hit a three-pointer over Ginobili.

Looking back, Zhao Dong broke through and scored, but the madman missed the shot. The Knicks finally missed a shot.

The rebound was grabbed by O'Neal, and the Lakers attacked.

Kobe asked for the ball again, but Harper ignored it again, this time giving it to O'Neal.

Horry still pulled to the left corner, and O'Neal entered the basket to single out Zhao Dong.

When the ball went in, the Knicks once again tightened their defense and four-pinned O'Neal under the basket.

O'Neal caught the ball and was about to stand up for a dunk. Zhao Dong was already in front of him. After leaping high, he slapped him against the ball cap of the basket.

The ball fell, just over O'Neal's head, and he got it again. He was about to get up for the second time when the Knicks' four-pin arrived.

"Roar!"

O'Neal was knocked over and dunked twice today. His anger had been hidden for a long time. At this time, he exploded. He gasped like a giant beast, raised the ball above his head with both hands, and forced himself to stand up and dunk.

As he stood up, the three Knicks defenders were blown apart instantly like paper figures. Madman and Ginobili were even knocked over directly.

O'Neal jumped into the air like a monster, holding the ball in both hands, eyes wide open, and ready to hit the basket.

With this ball, he not only wanted to break through four double-teams and complete a dunk, he also wanted to change the basket for the hateful Feilong, he wanted to dunk Feilong, he wanted to completely humiliate Feilong, and he wanted to get back his dignity.

At this moment, just as he was tightening his abdomen and smashing his arms, a figure rose from below, appeared in his line of sight, and then obscured his line of sight.

"Get off!"

Zhao Dong shouted loudly in his heart and put his right hand on the basketball.

At this moment, the waist and abdominal muscles exerted crazy force, and the terrifying core strength exploded again. The huge explosive power was displayed in the air. With this explosive power, he directly offset O'Neal's powerful force of smashing the basket.

"oh!"

Seeing O'Neal's two-hand dunk blocked, the Staples Center erupted with the biggest exclamation of the night.

"yeah!"

The Knicks bench was boiling, and all the bench players burst into flames and roared excitedly on the court.

O'Neal was pressed down by Zhao Dong from the air. The ball was still in his hand. He stumbled back after landing on his feet. He took three steps to stand still. At this time, the referee's whistle sounded.

O'Neill looked stunned and looked at Zhao Dong with incredible eyes.

He definitely didn't expect that with his tonnage and strength, Zhao Dong could hold down such a heavy slam with two hands and hit the basket with one hand. How could this guy's strength be so terrifying?

"Four people are double-teaming me, and I'm going to get a dunk on my head from you. How the hell am I going to stop messing around?" Zhao Dong glared at O'Neal and then cursed.

The referee made a penalty, O'Neal walked, and the ball rights were exchanged.

The team leader swallowed two big blocks in one offensive round, especially the latter block, which further damaged the morale of the Lakers. Except for Kobe, everyone else played weakly in the following time.

Even O'Neal was a little discouraged. He was not active in getting the ball and started paddling.

He found a reason for himself to lose. It didn't matter if the Lakers lost anyway, because the Knicks are an Eastern Conference team.

As for him being dunked by Zhao Dong, it wasn't the first time anyway. Let's get it back next time.

In this game, 84:105, the Knicks won by 21 points and the Lakers were defeated.
