Chapter 254 Breaking Through the Limits of Lightning
Serving from the sideline of the front court, Zhao Dong once again held the ball outside the three-point line on the left wing.
This time, he turned around and started punching Russell on the back.
Playing back is the best way to attack this kind of death-wound defense, especially since Zhao Dong has advantages in both arms and hands, so he doesn't have to worry about being intercepted.
Best of all, it can perfectly avoid the restrictions of Article 138 of the Dragon Law.
Russell is 201 centimeters tall and used to weigh 102 kilograms. This season, in order to carry Zhao Dong, the team arranged for him to gain weight to 110 kilograms.
The advantage of this is that the confrontation ability increases, but the movement ability and speed drop a little.
But even if he gained 110 kilograms, he still couldn't handle Zhao Dong's back blow.
Zhao Dong's core strength is too strong, breaking through the limits of human beings, even Kobe and Jordan are not as good as him, the absolute number one in league history.
And the lower body strength has also been raised to level 93, which is the first-class lower body strength among inside players. Anyway, it is stronger than the postman Malone. His thighs are thicker than Malone. Russell has gained weight, but he can't stand it at all.
During the dribble, Zhao Dong's legs exerted strength, and at the same time, his waist, abdomen and back muscles also exerted strength, and the huge strength suddenly exploded.
"Oh!"
The power was concentrated on the big butt not much smaller than Barkley, which was a burst of strength from the whole body, and it slammed into Russell's lower abdomen fiercely.
"Uh!"
Russell snorted in pain, and retreated in response, with no strength to resist at all.
In the next instant, Zhao Dong turned around and broke through.
"Fake!"
Russell is going crazy because the next root is hit, is this still playing basketball?He felt as if he had been violated by a wild bull.
Greg Ostertag and Ma Long, who quickly returned to the basket, saw Zhao Dong rushing like a lunatic, and felt a little chills in their hearts.
Greg Ostertag instinctively stepped back and got out of the way of the basket.
Ma Long, the postman who returned to defense from the right wing, could not watch Zhao Dong attack the basket, and could only resort to fouls to prevent Zhao Dong from blowing up the basket.
"Oh, the postman hugged the flying dragon, is he protecting this damned guy?" the on-site commentator shouted in astonishment.
Under the powerful impact, the postman tightly hugged Zhao Dong with both arms, so as not to throw him out, and made the best protection.
It is an absolute disgrace to him to protect the opponent.
But if he didn't protect him, what would be the consequences, he didn't want to guess.
From Zhao Dong, he thought of that demon Bill Lanbier.
Lambiel, the most famous incident, was not a fight, it was not pulling the opponent directly from the sky when he was attacking the basket, it was not elbowing the opponent.
Instead, he casually gave a championship ring to a JI woman, and flushed another one down the toilet.
Lord of the Rings Russell couldn't do this kind of thing, Barkley yelled at Lambiel for being too extravagant after hearing it, but Lambiel didn't care at all.
Why, because his family is too rich.
His father is a major shareholder of a Fortune 500 company, so buying a team is nothing, let alone two rings?
This is also the reason why the rich second-generation Lambiel is unscrupulous in the league. Ma Hong is willing to be his pony, and the whole league has nothing to do about it, because his background is too strong.
That is, that idiot Buckley rode Lambir and beat him up. Would anyone else dare?
Now that Ranbier has withdrawn, another Zhao Dong has appeared. Although Zhao Dong is not as good as Ranbir's background, the lawyer team last time has frightened the postman, so even if it is a shame, he has to "protect" Good Zhao Dong.
The referee's whistle blew, the postman fouled, and Zhao Dong made two free throws.
In the TNT live broadcast seat, Bill Walton shook his head and said: "The Jazz themselves have no morale. The starting center was beaten at the beginning. Now I can't see morale from them at all. To be honest, it's better to let the Lakers play for such a Jazz." The finals are even better, at least O'Neal and the dragon can explode each other, which is more interesting."
"Yes!"
New York, Stern agrees with Bill Wharton.
He swore that in the future, a team like the Jazz would not be allowed to enter the finals again. They didn't even have the courage to fight against Feilong. What are you doing here?
After the postman Malone was punished by Feilong, he was like a sheep in front of Feilong. How could such a guy compete with Feilong for the championship?
In the Delta Arena, the postman Malone who lost his courage was unable to support the Jazz's offensive and defensive system, let alone the others.
75:104, the Knicks won a big victory and successfully won the G1 game.
爵士末节投子认输，赵东只打了35分钟，末节没打，数据一般，17投12中，8罚8中，只砍下32分10篮板10助攻3抢断4盖帽1失误3犯规的数据。
"Let's tear it down, the Jazz team has no future." After the game, in an on-site interview, Zhao Dong said.
His words, broadcast live on TV, immediately spread all over the world.
"Mr. Hainer, Malone is your man, I hope to move him to Michael's side immediately."
Philip Knight, the president of Nike, couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he heard this, and immediately dialed the phone number of Adidas president Herbert Heiner.
"So what will Nike pay?" The tone of the president of Adidas was a little indifferent.
Once Malone's peak insider super giant gets to Jordan's side, it will definitely make the Bulls take off directly. Jordan is not old yet, and it is possible to play another dynasty. Jordan can even become a god because of this, so his commercial value will be It will be promoted to an incredible level, and how much will Nike gain from it?
"I let an All-Star give Adidas?" Knight tentatively asked.
"Hey!"
Hainer sneered disdainfully, and said, "If you give me ten All-Stars, I won't let the postman go to the Bulls."
He didn't lie, unless Nike gave him Jordan, how could he let Malone go to the Bulls?
There is a bottom line for teaming up with Nike to suppress Feilong Sports. Nike cannot benefit too much. If Nike makes a big fortune because of this, wouldn't it be shooting yourself in the foot?At that time, Adidas may be forced to withdraw from the basketball shoe market.
So his principle has always been that when suppressing Feilong, Nike and Jordan must not benefit too much.
In other words, the Bulls cannot win the championship. He would rather let the Lakers, Spurs, or other teams win the championship, or even the Knicks, than let the Bulls win the championship.
After all, Feilong is rising, but he is not an American after all, and it is impossible for Feilong Sports to dominate the basketball shoe market in North America.
So if you can suppress Feilong, then suppress it. The bottom line is that Jordan cannot be restored because of suppressing Feilong. He must grasp this speed and not cross the line to avoid being backlashed.
Philip Knight hung up the phone in disappointment. He knew that the old guy Heiner would not agree. Nike and Adidas were not even close to each other, they were enemies, so he still pinned his main hopes on the players under Nike.
An hour later, the Knicks' post-game press conference was held.
The host began to turn over cards, and many reporters raised their hands, especially some local reporters who were very active, and finally called a reporter from a local sports newspaper.
"Feilong, you said in the live interview that this Jazz team can already be dismantled, are you kidding me? We are No.1 in the regular season this season."
The local sports newspaper reporter asked angrily.
Zhao Dong smiled and said, "Did you see the strength of No.1 in the regular season from this game? Anyway, I didn't see it."
"Do you admit that it was because you used your legal team to suppress the postman that Karl didn't dare to confront you?" the reporter asked.
"Sir, I think it's unbelievable that your thinking is low and your logic is chaotic. Your three views have been completely distorted." Zhao Dong said coldly with disdain.
"What do you mean?" the reporter said angrily.
"What do I mean? The postman teamed up with his agent and his sponsors to smear and slander me. I formed a legal team to fight the lawsuit, which turned out to be my suppression of him? According to what you mean, I should Let him slander me? I think you, Mr. reporter, have completely lost your sense of law, and you can’t distinguish between black and white. You should be ashamed of what you just said.”
Zhao Dong sarcastically said.
"This?"
The reporter was speechless.
At this time, the host had withdrawn the reporter's microphone, and thereafter no longer had the right to ask local reporters questions.
"Flying Dragon, Bill Walton and Matt think that the league should have a law that prohibits sprinting over five meters. What do you think of this law?"
The second question was from a reporter from the New York Times.
"Then it's better to just cancel the outside breakthrough." Zhao Dong complained.
"Do you think the league will establish this rule?" the reporter asked.
"Impossible, this is O'Neal's brainless idea. If this rule is really established, then what kind of game is there to play, just a shooting game. Maybe shrink the basketball court, what do you think of a 5*5 court?" Zhao Dong laughed.
"Ha ha……"
The press conference hall burst into joy.
"What about the defense, do you think the league will pass this rule change?" the reporter asked again.
"It's possible." Zhao Dong nodded.
He remembers very clearly that in order to limit O'Neal, the league implemented zone defense rules in the 01/02 season, and at the same time canceled illegal defense, allowed double-teaming of people without the ball, and implemented the defensive three-second rule.
Of course, this life is likely to be advanced because of him.
In fact, the implementation of these rules has been discussed since the regular season.
Bill Walton wasn't at the press conference, he was working on a show.
When he was explaining the game, he had an idea that he could create a related program. The core of the program was how to restrain flying dragons.
He felt that other TV stations must have this idea, and might even have started preparations, so he seemed in a hurry.
"Yes, that's my idea. We want to invite them to come. No matter what the price is, as long as they are willing to come, our show will definitely attract everyone's attention and the ratings will explode."
On the phone with TNT Sports, he pitched his idea.
This idea lies in the guests. He wants to invite a few big guys who are different but most in line with the core of this show.
"I'm afraid it won't work, Bill. I'm afraid we can't get any of us."
The person who contacted Bill Wharton was William, a producer of the sports department, who was very embarrassed and said: "Unless you invite them, there is no way to make this show."
"William, let me try."
Bill Wharton gritted his teeth. It was really difficult to invite these people, and his old face might not be useful, but for the sake of the show, he still nodded.
"OK. If you get the guests, it's okay to double the production fee compared to the previous show." William on the other end of the phone readily agreed.
The producer agreed, and Bill Walton immediately began to think about how to invite those guys.
There are three people in total, and he has to consider which one to invite first.
In Chicago, Jordan did not go fishing. He had already arranged a complete training plan during the offseason.
He just watched the finals G1 game, and he doesn't want to watch the next few games. He can be sure that the Jazz will be swept by the Knicks.
However, Bill Wharton's idea of restricting Zhao Dong made him very interested.
Of course, he scoffed at the idea of limiting the breakthrough distance, and he recognized the zone defense rules.
"Nike's idiots, if I can push the zone defense before the Eastern Conference Finals, I won't necessarily lose."
After cursing angrily, when he was about to take a shower, his phone rang.
"Bill Wharton?"
I glanced at the incoming call and was a little surprised. It's time, do you want to interview him?
At 9 o'clock, Stern held a meeting to discuss the implementation of relevant rules internally.
His idea is that the finals are likely to have a sweeping situation, which the league does not want to see, so before that, if some rules to restore balance are introduced, it is best for the league.
At the same time, the media and many league stars and coaches, including fans, began to discuss this issue, that is, how to restrict Zhao Dong.
Various TV media have also launched several discussion programs, inviting league stars to participate and discuss this issue.
TNT is the broadcaster of the Finals. It also launched a related program, hosted by Bill Walton, and invited three historical superstars, namely George McCann, Wilt Chamberlain, and Michael Jordan.
Bill Walton is very proud. Even if he can be called the top ten super center in the history of the league, he still feels very proud to be able to invite these three guests.
All three of them were invited by him, and of course the appearance fee was paid by TNT.
George McCann, the first superstar in the history of the league, is 74 years old this year. He wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses and has all white hair. He looks very old, but he is still in good spirits and in good condition.
Wilt Chamberlain, a super center with [-]% in a single game, his physical fitness is heaven-defying. Zhao Dong is now also known as his physique is sky-defying, but no one has said that he is more defiant than Chamberlain.
Needless to say, Jordan, even though he was just defeated by Zhao Dong again, he is still the most influential basketball superstar on the planet.
These three great superstars all have one characteristic, the same characteristic, which is to force the league to modify or formulate some kind of rules in order to restrict them.
George McCann, the inside offense can ask for anything, because he expanded the three-second zone from six feet to 12 feet, and doubled the free throw line, which is the so-called McCann's law, and there is also an offensive three-second rule.
Chamberlain, which led to the increase of the three-second zone to 16 feet, and because of his terrifying jumping ability, the league introduced interference ball rules.
Jordan, is the only one who canceled the rules that restricted him immediately after he retired.
This was Bill Wharton's idea. He wanted these three guys to discuss how to restrict Zhao Dong.
Among the three, the most difficult to invite was Jordan who had just been eliminated by Zhao Dong.
But Bill Walton was the first to invite Jordan. He only used one reason, come on, Michael, if this program is successful, it can really limit the Dragon.
At 08:30 that night, the program started.
"Okay, let's talk freely."
Bill Wharton rubbed his hands excitedly, and shouted: "George, why not start with you, what kind of rules do you think can limit the performance of flying dragons?"
George McCann smiled and said: "Before discussing what rules can restrict that Chinese young man, we must first figure out what is his most destructive point."
"Yes, that's a premise."
Bill Wharton nodded, and the other three nodded too.
George McCann seemed to have thought it through, and immediately said: "I didn't pay much attention to him last year, but only this season. I have some knowledge about him."
"Oh, what is it?" Bill Wharton echoed.
George McCann said: "His overall quality is too strong, there are no shortcomings in quality, and his technique is also the same style, there are no shortcomings.
Whether it's offense or defense, whether it's inside or outside, whether it's a variety of offensive skills, all-round top strength makes his ceiling almost invisible, which is why he can play terrifying performances.
But one of the scariest things about him is his offensive efficiency, which is why he finally defeated the Bulls. "
"I agree with that," Jordan said immediately.
At this time Chamberlain said: "I also watched this Eastern Conference Finals. In the crucial G4 game, the double-headed snake tactic made Feilong burst into full combat power. Under this tactic, he can play in every position. The full combat power broke out, which is one of the reasons why the Knicks eliminated the Bulls.
Of course, I'm not denying his offensive efficiency. That Chinese kid, his offensive efficiency is really the best in the league.Even in history, there are countless. "
"So all three of you agree that offensive efficiency is the scariest thing about flying dragons?" Bill Wharton asked.
Seeing that the three of them nodded, he said, "Then, does it mean that the introduction of restrictive rules is to reduce his offensive efficiency?"
"of course."
George McCann nodded and said: "The so-called flying dragon law that has just been launched, judging from the Eastern Conference finals and the G1 finals, the restrictive effect is not obvious. The league should formulate new rules, otherwise the balance will be broken, and the basketball game will become a game. A one-man exhibition match.
In fact, the so-called Flying Dragon Law only restricted part of his style of play, and the restrictions on him were not strong enough to reduce his offensive efficiency. "
"I also think there should be new rules," Chamberlain said.
"I don't object to what you say, you have the final say." Jordan laughed.
"Honey, the three of them are going too far, and they're all targeting you." In the hotel in Salt Lake City, Lindsay said dissatisfiedly.
"No surprise, the NBA is a foreign land to me. To conquer this foreign land, do I still hope that they welcome me with flowers? I don't have that aura. I have to face the thorns everywhere." Zhao Dong laughed road.
The show continued, and Bill Walton said at this time: "Then let us discuss now, what kind of rules should be used to restrict the flying dragons. Is it zone defense?"
George McCann nodded and said: "This is a basic rule. The rule that limits the distance of breakthroughs like you said is a destructive rule that will ruin the NBA. Absolutely not."
Bill Walton laughed and said, "That's what O'Neill said, not me."
"I was only joking, you fool is taking it seriously."
In front of the TV, O'Neill muttered dissatisfiedly: "It's a good thing I didn't say to wear a protective gear to play basketball, or else you fool would believe it.
"Indeed, zone defense is what restricts guys like Feilong from attacking from the outside in." Chamberlain laughed.
Bill Wharton said: "Then, can you really limit the flying dragon just by switching to the zone defense? Everyone should know that you, George, just said that the so-called flying dragon rule is useless."
Chamberlain said: "Some specific strong rules in the zone defense can be modified, such as breakthrough."
"Yes, the impact of the flying dragon is terrible, and it is very effective in limiting his breakthrough." George McCann said.
Of these four, three are super centers and only one guard. Naturally, only Jordan is the most qualified to discuss the rules that restrict breakthroughs, because he himself is the most lethal breakthrough master.
Jordan also thought about it a long time ago, and quickly said: "His first step is too fast, he can be compared to the young man from the Pistons."
"Your successor, Grant Hill?" Bill Wharton asked immediately.
"Yes, it's him."
Nodding his head, Jordan said: "Restrict his first step, so that the speed of his second step will be slowed down, which can limit his change of direction, so that the defenders can have more time to make a move. Response, it can be blocked in time, and at the same time, it can have enough time to deploy and control the restricted area to prevent him from entering.
He is very big, not the thin body of a defender. Once he is under the zone defense rules, his speed will slow down and his impact will be reduced. Under the help of double-teaming, his ability to break through terror will become weaker. Impact on the rim will be minimized. "
"I agree, limiting his first step is the source of limiting his breakthrough." George McCann and Chamberlain nodded at the same time.
"What the hell!" Seeing this, Zhao Dong cursed.
"Why, husband, is this method very powerful?" Lindsay asked worriedly.
"It's really great."
Zhao Dong nodded, and then said in a mocking tone: "Jordan is shameless, showing his head in person to push the league to introduce rules to restrict me."
He knows that the alliance will indeed modify some specific rules of the zone defense in the future, just like modifying Jordan's rules to restrict him, to limit Iverson's unsolvable lightning breakthroughs, and to prevent Iverson from disrupting the balance of the alliance. , while modifying a rule when breaking through.
This modified detailed rule is the first step in starting a breakthrough.
Specifically, if the basketball does not leave the hand when the foot is lifted off the ground, then it is walking.
This rule is a test of basic skills. As Jordan said, it limits the speed of Iverson's first step and the flexibility of changing direction in the second step. It also increases the difficulty of breaking into the penalty area.
The modification of the rules also became one of the biggest difficulties for Iverson to win the championship later, because his strongest ability was limited.
In the future, Iverson's breakthrough is actually a castrated version of lightning breakthrough, and the speed is not at the highest level at all.
If the league really changes to the zone defense rules this time, and at the same time introduces this rule in advance, from the rule point of view, it will also have serious restrictions on him.
Even, the restrictions on him will be greater than Iverson.
Just like what Jordan said just now, he is not a guard, but he has the physique and tonnage of the inside line, and his breakthrough ability in the crowd is not as good as that of Iverson. If he is restricted, the impact will be more serious.
The change of this detailed rule, coupled with the big basic defensive rules of zone defense, under this framework, his breakthrough ability will indeed be limited, the inside offense will be reduced, the mid-range shot will increase, and his efficiency will also decrease.
At the same time, the impact on the Knicks as a whole is impossible to estimate.
Bill Walton's show has indeed received the most attention, and neither ESPN nor ABC has produced a show that is as popular as this one.
In the program, some of the restrictive rules proposed by the few of them also aroused heated discussions, and at the same time attracted the attention of the league.
