Chapter 375 Stubborn Larry Brown
Every time Iverson made it to the basket, he was double-teamed by Zhao Dong's defense, so he took very few shots. He made 5 of 2 shots, hit two pull-up jumpers near the basket, and swallowed a block from Zhao Dong. He made 4 of 3 free throws and scored 7 points in the third quarter.
On Zhao Dong's side, he was double-teamed without the ball. In the third quarter, he made 7 of 4 shots and 3 of 3 free throws. He scored 11 points and scored 50 points in the game.
At the end of the third quarter, 85:90, the Knicks led by 5 points.
Barkley said with a smile: "The defense of both sides is average today, and the score is really high."
Smith said: "The digital team has no ball to double-team the flying dragon, and there must be loopholes in other defensive positions. But for the Knicks, the flying dragon is eyeing Iverson, and the mailman missed this point. Even if the defense is made up in time, no one dares to approach the mailman now. body."
Barkley nodded and said: "The postman scored 30 points in three quarters, and his shooting percentage in the second half was higher than that in the first half. He made 23 of 13 shots in the game, as high as 56%, which far exceeded his overall shooting percentage. Defensively unsuccessful."
史密斯道：“飞龙全场28投18中，命中率64%，三分球4投2中，13罚12中，他三节轰下了50分10篮板6助攻2抢断3盖帽的超豪华数据。
But with such a performance, the Knicks still only lead by 5 points, which shows the strength of the digital team and is indeed the most powerful contender for the championship. "
Barkley said with a smile: "In order to reduce the salary space and future potential, the management chose to keep Ginobili, traded Madman, and then traded Marion. Not worthy of the Knicks, the defending championship team, they did drag the Knicks down to a certain extent.
But the most important thing is that Fortson's injury had too much impact on the Knicks, and half of the inside line collapsed. Otherwise, playing a digital team would be stable. "
Smith nodded and said: "Yes, Fortson is a guy who can handle the postman. His defensive attitude is very tough and fierce, and his rebounding is at Rodman's level. His injury is indeed a pity."
At the beginning of the final quarter, both sides fought hard, the digital team played all the starters, the Knicks played Gary Trent on the inside, and Rodgers on the front line.
Knicks attack.
Zhao Dong did not set up on the outside line, but directly set up in the low position on the left wing.
As soon as he went down low, the postman was immediately behind, while small forward George Lynch stepped forward.
"Look, the digital team still double-teamed Zhao Dong without the ball, and he left the low post." Zhang Lili shouted immediately.
Zhao Dong has a height disadvantage in the low post. In double-teaming without the ball, this disadvantage is even more serious, and his vision is affected, so he immediately left the low post.
But this time, instead of pulling straight to the high post, he moved below the broken line of the free throw line on the left wing, a position where he can avoid Rule 136 of the Dragon Rule.
Eric Snow stepped up his defense against Ginobili, preventing him from passing the ball to Rodgers in the open right corner, blocking the passing line between Ginobili and the right wing.
But in this way, the passing route between Ginobili and the left wing is very smooth.
At this time, Zhao Dong cut outwards, and after attracting the postman and George Lynch to keep up, he suddenly ran back, passed between the two, and quickly began to cut inward to the paint area.
When he passed through the gap between the two, he deliberately made a physical contact and bumped George Lynch with his shoulder to prevent him from chasing himself in time.
At this time, Ginobili passed the ball, Zhao Dong received the ball, rushed into the paint area, and flew up to meet Ratliff two steps later.
"Oh!"
Facing Zhao Dong's top-to-bottom dive bombing, Ratliff, the top defender, flew in response, unable to block Zhao Dong's ball at all, and the defensive height was not high enough.
"boom!"
Cleared the obstacles in the air with a fierce mid-air dash, and in the next moment, Zhao Dong exploded the basket.
"Di!"
At the same time, the referee blew his whistle to signal a foul by Ratliff's thug.
"Oh ho ho..."
The on-site commentator let out a strange cry, and roared excitedly: "The flying dragon has started a new round of low-altitude dive-bombing. Ratliff is the fourth offender. He should be the target of the flying dragon..."
Barkley praised: "Flying Dragon has the most powerful air confrontation ability. His control over his body in the air is unmatched in the league and even in the world. After such a violent impact, he can still adjust his posture in the air. , completed the attack, it's incredible!"
"Core strength, this is the most critical factor." Smith laughed.
"Flexibility, balance, coordination, plus core strength," Barkley added.
In the CCTV live broadcast, Zhang Lili said excitedly: "Now Zhao Dong should watch Ratliff and beat him until he is beaten.
Ratliff's interior defense is too important to the digital team, even more important than the postman. If he is off the field, it will be the same as the Knicks without Fortson, and the interior will collapse in half immediately. "
Sure enough, in the next game, Zhao Dong focused on Ratliff and kept hitting him.
Being targeted by the league's No.1 active superstar with the most powerful impact, even Ratliff cannot escape, except to sacrifice his defensive strength and let Zhao Dong get what he wants.
Soon, in the 4th minute of the last quarter, Zhao Dong made an impact and made Ratliff five fouls.
Larry Brown could only temporarily replace Ratliff and put on Tyron Hill.
Hill is very strong and is an important inside substitute player for the digital team. He averaged 9.7 rebounds and 12 points per game in the first round after the season.
His height is 206 cm, which is about the same as Zhao Dong, but his defense is average, mainly in offense and rebounding.
As soon as he came up, Zhao Dong immediately rushed towards him.
"boom!"
Through counter-running, Zhao Dong once again broke the double-team, then caught the ball and rushed towards Hill. With a brutal dunk, Hill fell to the basket.
"Carl, George, where is your double team? Where is it?"
On the sidelines, seeing the postman and George Lynch's unmanned double-teaming was broken again, Larry Brown started to growl angrily.
Barkley laughed loudly and said: "The flying dragon's jumping height has reached at least 110 centimeters. Faced with the flying dragon's dive bombing, even O'Neill has to get out of the way, otherwise he will be dunked.
It is impossible for an average defensive player like Hill to block this impact.
His defense is meaningless at all, because he can't defend against Feilong's attack, and his defensive height is simply not enough. Feilong's ball is at least one foot higher than his defensive height. "
"He can't get up anymore," Smith said, pointing to the shield.
When Barkley saw it, he really couldn't get up. He shook his head and said with a smile: "Once the flying dragon is double-teamed outside, it's better for the people inside to get out of the way."
Larry Brown sat up, and after a timeout, Ratliff, who had just come down, was ready to play.
At this time, with 7 minutes left in the game, 92:102, the Knicks led by 10 points.
Zhang Lili smiled and said: "Until now, Zhao Dong is still alive and well, full of impact, and his physical strength really has no limit."
Su Qun said with a smile: "On the other hand, the digital team has already lost their physical fitness in the final quarter. The postman played the whole game, and now he and George Lynch are off the ball to double-team the Flying Dragons, and they are repeatedly broken. Their double-team off the ball has not improved at all. The effect, but the defensive strength of the two people wasted on the outside."
Zhang Lili smiled and said: "Zhao Dong's movement speed is too fast, and the postman can't keep up, so Larry Brown double-teams the faster George Lynch, but George Lynch's speed is also not as fast as Zhao Dong, so Their double teams have weaknesses.
In addition, Zhao Dong was not afraid of the postman's elbows at all. On the contrary, the postman was a little restrained in front of him and did not dare to use his elbows too much, so Zhao Dong was able to break through the double-teams frequently. "
The timeout ended and Iverson made a three-pointer.
95:102, the Knicks attack.
"Hey, Larry Brown stopped the off-ball double-teaming of the Flying Dragon and resumed the two-one-two defense?" Barkley shouted in surprise.
At this time, Stackhouse held the ball and broke through on the right wing. After attracting the attention of the defense, he made a cross pass and gave the ball to Zhao Dong.
Zhao Dong was making a back cut from the weak side. When he rushed to the left line of the paint area, he received a pass and flew towards the basket.
"not good!"
Under the basket, as soon as Ratliff turned around, his sight was completely blocked by Zhao Dong's body.
"boom!"
The next moment, when the basket was blown up, he was also knocked over.
At the same time, the referee's whistle sounded.
"Beautiful! Flying Dragon dunks Ratliff, Ratliff blocked the foul, six fouls off!" The live commentator roared excitedly.
"It's going down, there's no problem, Tyron Hill is injured, Ratliff has graduated from six criminals, there is only one postman left, and the digital team is finished!" Zhang Lili said excitedly.
As he said, in the next few minutes of the game, the digital team lost its strong inside defense, and the game also entered the rhythm of the Knicks, or Zhao Dong.
At the end, 108:119, the Knicks won the G1 game at home.
赵东全场48分钟，38投25中，命中率65.7%，三分4中2 ，17罚16中，68分14篮板7助攻2抢断4盖帽的超豪华数据。
At the same time, he broke his record for scoring in a single game in the playoffs, only one point away from Jordan's record of 69 points in a single game in the playoffs, the second in history.
Barkley said with some regret: "When the digital team persisted for three and a half quarters, they finally fell to the impact of the flying dragon and did not keep the suspense of victory until the end."
Kenny Smith shook his head and said, "It's not that the digital team is not strong enough, it's that the flying dragon is too strong!"
Barkley shook his head triumphantly, and praised: "In this game, Flying Dragon defeated the email group by himself."
Smith nodded and said: "Iverson scored 38 points in this game and 10 points in the final quarter. The postman scored 40 points in the game and 10 points in the final quarter. They almost swept the team's final score. They jointly contributed 78 points. It's not that they are not strong enough, but that they met a stronger flying dragon."
Barkley said: "But what I want to remind the Knicks is that the postman scored 40 points. This is something to be aware of. His performance in the playoffs has always been worse than the regular season. The Knicks need to defend him harder. You can't just leave the pressure on Feilong alone.
This is not just a game, not even a series. Feilong's physical fitness is also limited, and other teammates must take on more responsibilities. "
Smith quipped: "Charles, are you speaking as a Knicks player?"
Barkley laughed and said with a smug smile, "I am the leader in the locker room of Madison's home team."
"Come on, you are the leader, what is a flying dragon?" Smith continued to tease.
"Both of us, he respects me because I'm a superstar like him," Barkley said without blushing.
In the CCTV live broadcast seat, Zhang Lili was commenting after the game: "Finally won, but it was difficult to win, and it was not until halfway through the final quarter that the advantage was established.
In my opinion, in the next series, the Knicks will still play Zhao Dong's attack on the inside, and try to suppress the opponent's inside defense earlier.
If one of Ratliff or the postman had been knocked out earlier, the game would have been easier. "
Su Qun said with a smile: "I don't know if Tyron Hill's injury is serious or not. If he can't come back after the end, it will still be beneficial to the Knicks."
On the sidelines, Zhao Dong accepted a live interview.
"Feilong, will you break Jordan's single-game scoring record in the playoffs next game?" Thomas, the team reporter, asked with a smile.
"It depends on my mood." Zhao Dong replied casually with a smile.
"What made you feel the most uncomfortable in the G1 game?" Thomas continued to ask.
"For Iverson's breakthrough, I had to let go of the postman and go back to the basket. The combination of the breakthrough of the email combination and the mid-range shot is the most troublesome for me." Zhao Dong replied.
"Then, do you still have the confidence to win the G2 game?" Thomas asked again.
Zhao Dong immediately replied: "Of course..."
Before he finished speaking, Thomas interjected, "100%?"
Zhao Dong smiled, nodded, and ended the on-site interview.
Back in the locker room, Old Nelson made a post-match summary.
"Today we had a problem with our defense. It was a serious problem. It was very troublesome. If we hadn't played too well on the offensive end, we might have lost it in G1."
"Our coaching staff will try our best to solve this problem, and hope that suitable defensive tactics can help us."
"If not, I think, in the G2 battle, we might have to pin our hopes on Feilong."
"It's disappointing to me, but we're short on the defensive end with this roster."
"Outside, Ginobili and Marion need to work harder. You strive to provide more energy for the team instead of digging more holes for the team. You know, the bigger the hole you dig, the bigger your boss will be." Gotta get more points to fill it in."
Manu Ginobili and Marion were ashamed, the former was turned into a scumbag by Iverson, the latter did not dare to get close when defending the postman, and the efficiency of the two on the offensive end was not very good, and the performance on both ends of the offense and defense was not good. Satisfactory.
Zhao Dong smiled and said, "Coach, rookies are like this. Billups and Fortson were no better than them when they came."
"Ha ha……"
Old Nelson and the coaches couldn't help laughing.
Twenty minutes later, Dazhi called with news of the second round of the Western Conference. The Mavericks lost to the Lakers and lost the G10 game.
Zhao Dong asked about his performance, he was pretty good, even had the experience of playing the main center forward in the finals, and he played well in the G1 game.
The Mavericks arranged to play a double-tower tactic with Nowitzki, but the twin towers were opened and pulled to the far ends of the two wings.
This is to pull O'Neal and Ben Wallace out of the penalty area, so that the outside line has enough room to break through, so the Mavericks sacrificed the attack at the basket, and the two inside lines are mainly mid-range shots.
The tactics were played out. O'Neal and Big Ben were very troublesome on the defensive end. No matter which one of them defended Dazhi or Nowitzki on the outside, it was very troublesome.
But the Mavericks can't solve the offensive O'Neal, even combined with Nowitzki, they can't limit O'Neal's low-post offense, especially at the basket, O'Neal frequently blasts the Mavericks inside, and the efficiency is very high.
At the same time, Kobe also played in an excellent state, frequently breaking into the basket, hitting as hard as Nowitzki, scoring 33 points in the game, and scoring 69 points with O'Neal.
大至16投7中，三分球3投1中，5罚5中，拿下了20分6篮板的数据。
Half an hour later, the two teams held a post-match press conference.
On the digital team, although the team lost, the atmosphere was not bad.
"Postman, what do you think of this game?" the reporter asked.
The postman pondered for a while and said, "Although we lost, we still have a chance to win. We should be able to do better."
"Allen, what about you?" The reporter shifted his target.
Iverson said: "We fell in the last quarter, which is frustrating. Fortunately, we still have a chance. We strive to take a victory from here."
"Coach Larry Brown, how do you feel about today's loss?" Another reporter asked.
"The dragon's impact on our interior is very destructive. This is the main reason for our loss. We must find a way to stop him." Larry Brown said.
"So what is it that the team did not do well enough today?" the reporter asked again.
"Defensively, the off-ball double-team against the Flying Dragons failed. Our players need to do better." Larry Brown said in a deep voice.
"So what are you going to do?" the reporter asked again.
"This is tactically classified, no comment." Larry Brown declined the question.
"Mr. Coach, what do you think is the chance of the digital team reaching the Eastern Conference Finals in the next series?" A reporter asked.
Larry Brown was silent for three seconds before saying, "We... After solving some defensive problems, there should be at least a [-]% chance."
"Sixty percent?"
The reporter from the New York Sports News was very surprised by Larry Brown's answer. He immediately asked: "Is this probability too conservative? Isn't it 100%?"
When Larry Brown heard it, he was immediately annoyed. He is not a fool, can't he tell that this is mocking him?
He said firmly: "We have always had a chance to win in G1, I firmly believe in this."
The reporter asked back with a smile: "But in the whole game, you only had one chance to lead the score, and you only led by one point, and then you were overtaken immediately. Do you still firmly believe that you can beat the Knicks?"
"Of course." Larry Brown said stiffly with a tight face.
The G2 match was on the 8th, and there was only one day of rest in the middle. Zhao Dong didn't get up until noon that day. He had exhausted so much energy last night, but he felt that his energy had recovered.
While eating lunch, he turned on the TV and tuned to New York Station to watch the news.
It happened to be a piece of news about the US stock market. When the US stock market fell to the [-]-point mark, it stopped falling and rebounded, and then returned to above [-] points. After attracting a wave of bulls to enter the market, it went down again, and this morning again Break through the [-]-point mark.
Zhao Dong shook his head, thinking of the operations of the Knicks management this season, he knew that James Dowland was really having a headache right now.
In order to save salary space, the Knicks chose to trade madmen, which caused a great loss of Knicks' outside strength.
Ginobili has not yet grown up, and Stackhouse can't support it alone. If the madman is still there, Ginobili will go to the bench to play, and the strength of the main and bench will definitely rise to a higher level. It won't be so hard.
So with that effect, the potential of the Knicks has increased a little, but the strength has declined.
But it's nothing. He shook his head not to deny the management's operation, but to lament the money James Dowland lost.
In the early stage, it was clear that there was a chance to escape the top with the storm, but he chose to go long, and lost both the company's and personal liquidity in vain.
The current domestic situation is much better than that of the previous life. A large amount of foreign capital has poured into the country through Tianlong Investment Bank, and into various industries, but this has also made the situation more complicated, and mergers have begun to appear in many industries.
Fortunately, he and Lindsay reminded that the anti-monopoly law is being formulated intensively, and as long as this law is promulgated, a bottom line can be maintained.
But at the same time, Tianlong Investment Bank and a large number of group companies established by the state with a large amount of resources have also started a large number of mergers and acquisitions abroad.
The M&A funds are the trillions of dollars recruited by Tianlong Investment Bank. So far, dozens of M&As have been completed, involving an amount of nearly 300 billion U.S. dollars. These group companies have obtained a large number of advanced technical talents and markets.
But now these are just small troubles, because the accession to the WTO has not yet been completed.
The bilateral negotiations on accession to the WTO went more smoothly than in the previous life. Zhao Dong believed that there should be a good result by the end of this year at the latest.
