Chapter 408 Lakers: We are going to kill God tonight!
In the locker room of the home team, after getting the Blazers' starting list, the Nets' new head coach Byron Scott began to analyze.
He is a pink new coach, an NBA player, 39 years old, he served as an assistant coach for the Kings in the first two seasons, and was dug to the Nets this season.
In fact, players like Dayao and the others don't understand why the management wants this new coach to be the head coach. The team is so strong now, isn't it afraid that the new coach will hold back?This can be regarded as a mysterious operation of the Nets management.
After much consideration, Byron Scott said to Dayao and Duncan: "Fortson's ability to pull away can be ignored, Yao, you and him, if he pulls out, you can let him go. Tim, you and Xiao Ao. "
Dayao and Duncan nodded one after another.
Duncan was actually a little hesitant, because his current athletic ability has been crippled by half, and whether he can keep up with Xiao Ao is a problem.
But he couldn't ask the taller Dayao to go with Xiao Ao, so he could only agree.
At eight o'clock, the game begins.
Xiao Ao and Dayao jumped the ball, and the Blazers attacked.
Fortson's ability to pull apart is average, moving on the edge of the paint area, and Dayao is facing up.
Ola came out and Duncan followed up, but he also took two steps, just outside the left line of the paint area, and he could also quickly return to the basket.
Zhao Dong came to the frontcourt with the ball, and saw the Nets' defensive position, two-one-two defense.
Dayao and Duncan are on the left and right wings respectively, ready to return to the basket at any time.
Among them is Stephen Jackson, and the high positions are the two guards Marbury and Kendall Gill.
As he neared the top of the key, Marbury followed Eddie Jones while Kendall Gill and Stephen Jackson in the middle doubled.
At this time, Marion, who was short, quickly cut in from the left wing to the basket, and Duncan made up the defense.
Zhao Dong quickly passed the ball to Xiao Ao.
There was no one in front of Jermaine O. After receiving the ball, he took a step forward and made a mid-range jumper when Duncan returned to the defense.
"boom!"
A jumper that was almost open, but unfortunately missed.
Zhao Dong, who rushed to the basket after passing the ball, caught Dayao, grabbed the offensive rebound, and immediately started playing Dayao behind the basket.
At this time, Stephen Jackson followed and began to double-team Zhao Dong, but Zhao Dong didn't pay attention to him. Under the double-teaming of the front and rear, he quickly swayed from side to side, not only shaking Dayao behind him, but also knocking away the front Jackson, then turned sideways and slammed Dayao on the head with a bang.
The future Martial Saint is not big enough, weighing less than [-] kilograms, and could not stand still under Zhao Dong's impact. When he was knocked away, he pulled Zhao Dong's arm, but he didn't have enough strength to pull him back.
"Di!"
The referee blew his whistle and pointed to Stephen Jackson, who was double-teaming, and called him a thug foul, and Zhao Dongjia made a free throw.
Duncan ran over to Jackson and said, "Stephen, if you make a foul, hit harder, don't let him make two plus one."
Jackson's temper is not very good, but Duncan's temperament is very good off the court, and the two are in the same year show, so the friendship is not bad. He nodded without saying anything else to Duncan's advice.
"Hey, the rookie on the 21st, started to guide the younger brother to play?" Zhao Dong said with a surprised face.
Duncan, with a dull face, snorted and didn't reply, and stood directly on the sideline of the paint zone.
Zhao Dong smiled, secretly thinking that Duncan looked a bit like a stone Buddha.
Next he made a free throw and the Nets attacked.
Duncan and Dayao pulled left and right, and both Fortson and Jermaine were pulled away from the basket. At this time, Marbury broke through from the right wing.
The Blazers did not play zone defense and played man-to-man. Zhao Dong personally guarded Marbury.
"Feilong, I'm going to surprise you."
Marbury blatantly said that he wanted to attack Zhao Dong head-on, but his operation was as fierce as a tiger, and when he looked back, he became two hundred and five.
"Damn!"
The others rushed over, but the ball was gone. Seeing that Zhao Dong was going down fast, he quickly turned around and chased after it.
"Haha, Marbury passed, but the ball stayed." Su Qun patted the table and laughed.
"boom!"
Zhao Dong's fast break from outside was unstoppable with his speed and impact. A flying dunk caused warm applause from the home court of the Nets.
"Lone wolf, return the ball to you, give it to me later."
After succeeding, Zhao Dong handed the ball to Marbury.
"I'm not a lone wolf."
Marbury took the ball depressed and said, "Don't try to break my ball again."
"Do you have a new nickname?" Zhao Dong asked curiously.
"No."
Frustrated, Marbury threw the ball to Kendall Gill.
"Then I'll give you one?" Zhao Dong laughed.
"What's it called?" Marbury asked.
"You are as fast as a galloping horse, and your surname is Ma, and you like forging iron, why not call yourself Iron Horse?" Zhao Dong said.
At this time, Kendall Gill sent the ball out, and Marbury just heard the word "iron horse", so angry that he didn't catch the ball firmly and let go.
With sharp eyes and quick hands, Zhao Dong grabbed the ball directly. Two steps later, the Nets' rim was blown up again.
"Feilong, you are too immoral!"
Marbury was interrupted twice in the beginning, and he was about to explode.
Zhao Dong laughed loudly and ran to the backcourt.
"I think the nickname Iron Horse is suitable for Marbury."
"Yes, I think so too."
In the media seats behind the baseline, some reporters began to discuss the new nickname that Zhao Dong gave to Marbury.
Marbury, who was waiting for the serve by the baseline, also heard their discussion and objected intentionally, but he didn't say anything when he thought that this nickname was better than the Lone Wolf.
After receiving the ball and advancing to the frontcourt, Marbury didn't go to the top of the arc, but went to the right wing again, and Zhao Dong defended.
"Hurry up, Iron Horse, give me back my ball." Zhao Dong joked.
"Don't even think about it." Marbury gasped.
At this time Kendall Gill came to pick and roll, he knew that it would be difficult for Marbury to break through Zhao Dong head-on.
Using the wall to complete the breakthrough, Marbury entered the paint with the ball.
Fortson quickly returned to the basket, and Marbury gave the ball to Yao, who made a jumper near the basket and made a precise goal.
"As long as Marbury can go in, there is no way to defend such a ball."
Zhang Lili shook his head and said with a smile: "The inside line drawn by the Blazers must return to the basket. No matter whether it is Duncan or Dayao who is empty, eight of the ten open balls near the basket are not accurate enough, and nine of them are not accurate enough. This is normal, too close to the basket."
Trail Blazers attack.
Zhao Dong held the ball at the top of the arc, and Stephen Jackson and Kendall Gill came up to double-team.
Marion cut inside and Duncan defended. The former suddenly stopped beside the latter and made a pick-and-roll cover. At this time, Jermaine O, who was pulled out, quickly cut into the paint from behind Marion.
Zhao Dong passed the ball, Xiao Ao received the ball, and jumped up to meet Dayao who returned to the basket.
"Snapped!"
The ball jumped up, Xiao Ao was capped.
Duncan turned around and grabbed the ball, and the Nets attacked.
It was Jill who did the pick-and-roll for Marbury, but this time Zhao Dong quickly chased it down, and Marbury did not completely get rid of Zhao Dong.
But Dayao stepped up from the low post, and Marbury took the initiative to use the former's pick-and-roll to drop Zhao Dong.
Fortson has returned to the basket, Marbury missed a layup, and still passes back to Dayao.
Zhao Dong switched to defend Dayao, who turned around and hit the back, arched the former, and then turned around and made a jumper.
Zhao Dong knew that he was at a disadvantage due to his height, so he couldn't guard Yao, not to mention him, O'Neal, Duncan, and Garnett couldn't guard him, so he adopted the method of blocking his eyes.
But Dayao's backward movement allowed him to get rid of Zhao Dong's defense, and his sight was not affected, and he still hit the ball.
In the following time, Zhao Dong didn't try his best to attack the inside line of the Nets like he did with the Lakers.
The Nets are different from the Lakers. There is no record conflict with the Trail Blazers. It's just a regular season. Besides, he doesn't want to hurt Dayao, so he is showing mercy.
But even though he seldom hits the basket directly, his jump shots from close to the basket still keep his efficiency high, and it is not easy for the Nets to win.
But in the end, the Nets relied on the strength of the two super insiders, coupled with Marbury's breakthrough, and won the Trail Blazers without Zhao Dong's full strength.
105:111, the Blazers lost by 6 points.
Zhao Dong still scored 56 points, shooting 56% from the field, and scored a triple-double again. This is his eighth consecutive triple-double.
It's just that his triple-double made him the leader of today's Kongban group.
And Dayao and Duncan scored 61 points together, shooting 64% from the field, exceeding his efficiency.
With 7 wins and 1 loss, the Blazers withdrew from the league's first record, and the Nets had 8 wins and 0 losses, ranking first in the league.
"Iron Horse, I played very selflessly today, with reasonable shots and 14 assists." After the game, Zhao Dong joked.
"I'm going to compete for the assists title this season." Marbury laughed.
Zhao Dong smiled and said, "Then work hard, boy."
Marbury said angrily: "Young man, my birthday is February 77, I seem to be a few months older than you."
"You've only grown up for a few months."
Zhao Dong let out a haha, left a sentence that could piss Marbury to death, turned around and left.
The Trail Blazers lost to the Nets. The biggest consequence was not about the two teams, but it affected many people's evaluation of the Lakers.
Barkley gave his own evaluation: "Obviously, if the Lakers keep their main lineup healthy, they also have a chance to win the Trail Blazers."
"The Nets can defeat the Trail Blazers with two super insiders and top outsiders..."
The Lakers star also encouraged the Lakers, saying: "The same two super centers, although David is old, but he still has energy, and O'Neal, as the most dominant center, has the ability to play against David and Kobe. With help, beat the Blazers like the Nets did."
The Lakers did nothing, relied on the Nets to defeat the Trail Blazers, and received a wave of recognition.
The Blazers continued their trip to the East, with six away games after the Nets, and did not return to Portland until November 11.
The next six away games were all underdogs in the Eastern Conference. The Blazers successfully won all of them. The Eastern Conference Tour achieved a record of 14 loss and 13 wins. The first 1 games were [-] wins and [-] loss, returning to the league's first position.
The Nets lost and lost to the Lakers away, tied for first place with the Trail Blazers.
David Robinson came back and teamed up with O'Neal to explode with the super combination of Duncan + Dayao, but Kobe blasted Marbury on both offense and defense.
Marbury's offense is okay, but his defense is far inferior to Kobe's. This is where he is not as good as Kobe.
It was his poor defense that allowed Kobe to constantly attack Yao and Duncan, causing great damage. Yao made too many fouls, played only 24 minutes, and sat on the bench for a lot of time.
Conversely, Kobe strictly guarded against Marbury, which greatly reduced his efficiency and was unable to impact the inside.
Kobe scored 46 points in this game, which is more outstanding than the performance of the two super insiders, full of murderous spirit and sharp edge.
There was no game on the 24th, and after too many away games, the team did not arrange training. One day off, Zhao Dong stayed at home with his four sons.
Lindsay works at home, surrounded by more than a dozen assistants, remotely directing the operation of Tianlong Investment Bank and Storm.
"Husband, the General Assembly meeting will be held the day after tomorrow. I plan to start an asset management project at Tianlong Investment Bank after joining the WTO."
"Yes, Tianlong's existing operating projects are not enough, and the funds under its control are not enough." Zhao Dong said.
"In addition, Huifeng Bank's acquisition can't go on. We didn't get enough management shares. I plan to start our own bank with Tianlong's capital." Lindsay added.
"Yes, we have an advantage over Huifeng in China. The funds of dozens of industrial group companies alone are enough to support a bank." Zhao Dong laughed.
At noon, the Nets who came to challenge arrived in Portland.
Zhao Dong drove to the hotel to pick up Dayao and Marbury, and invited them to lunch.
In the afternoon of the next day, the General Assembly meeting was held in New York. China's application for accession to the WTO was officially approved and China became a member of the WTO. China's development began to enter the fast lane.
That night, the Blazers defeated the Nets at home and monopolized the first place in the league.
In this game, because it was a home game, Zhao Dong no longer showed mercy, and went all out to attack Dayao and Duncan.
Of course, he was mainly attacking Duncan, staring at Duncan and making a big fuss, and he was still merciful to Dayao.
Duncan made two fouls in the first quarter and went down after only 7 minutes. In the second quarter, he was targeted by Zhao Dong again. He made four fouls in the half and only played 27 minutes.
At the same time, on the defensive end, Zhao Dong strengthened his defense against Marbury and reduced his breakthrough efficiency, which is also one of the important reasons for winning.
After this game, the Nets, who performed brilliantly in the new season, have been questioned.
The main point of doubt is the back line. Marbury was defended by Zhao Dong and Kobe, and his partner Kendall Gil was not strong enough. The back line combination dragged down a pair of super insiders.
The time came to December 12st, and the league announced the best players of the month for November, and updated the MVP rankings at the same time.
Zhao Dong averaged 11 points, 45 rebounds, and 11.7 assists per game in November. At the same time, he won the best of the month by virtue of his first record in the Trail Blazers, and maintained his No.10.5 position in the MVP rankings.
On the 8th, the Philadelphia Digital Team visited and challenged the Trail Blazers away.
The 37-year-old postman is still in good health and in a brave state, and his cooperation with Iverson is getting better and better. One breakthrough, one pull, and the first half played on par with the Blazers.
The digital team and the Nets are different from the Lakers. The main force is very strong, and the bench is as strong as the Blazers. The depth of the lineup is very thick.
This is Iverson's fifth season. He has completely entered his peak period, and his breakthrough is so sharp that Zhao Dong can only sit in the paint area himself.
This is the same as the last second round of the Eastern Conference. Iverson used his lethality to create opportunities for the Postman.
The postman's elbow can deal with anyone, but only Zhao Dong can't be dealt with, and only Iverson's breakthrough lethality can hold Zhao Dong back and let the postman get a chance.
He played 22 minutes in the first half, scored 21 points, shot 57%, and was very efficient.
The two sides were tied in the first half, and entering the second half, Larry Bird changed his defensive tactics, let Zhao Dong mark the postman, and Iverson handed over to others.
Larry Bird is going to use crowd tactics to deal with Iverson. The Blazers have enough people inside. Fortson, Jermaine O'Neil, Brian Grant, Schramf, and Dale Davis all have good defenses. Use these five people to block Iverson in turn.
As a result, the postman was defended by Zhao Dong in the third quarter, and Iverson stepped up to the free throw line. Although he scored a lot of points, the digital team started to lag behind.
In the final quarter, Larry Bird once again changed his defensive tactics against the postman, letting Fortson mark the postman and Zhao Dong go inside.
Fortson had defended against the postman in the Knicks, and he was not afraid of the postman's elbows, but his ability to resist elbows was far inferior to that of Zhao Dong.
With such a dozen, the efficiency of the email combination of Postman and Iverson plummeted, and they eventually lost the game.
"Larry, your coaching ability is not bad." After the game, Zhao Dong began to tease Larry Bird.
"Everyone knows that I am the top coach, on the same level as Pat Riley." Larry Bird said boldly.
Through two successful defensive tactical adjustments in the second half, the Blazers proved that they have the ability to suppress the email combination.
After this game, many media began to suspect that the digital team was not qualified to be tied with the Trail Blazers, Nets, and Lakers.
On the 12th, the Blazers defeated the Warriors in an away game, arrived in Los Angeles overnight, and will challenge the Lakers away on the 13th.
This is a back-to-back game. Facing the powerful Lakers, physical fitness will be the biggest challenge for the Blazers.
Prior to this, the Blazers had 21 wins and 1 loss, the league's first record, brilliant.
Zhao Dong continued his incredible 40+ triple-double performance, showing the world his powerful offensive ability and versatility.
Magic Johnson was interviewed by the media in Los Angeles on this day. He commented on Zhao Dong's performance this season, and said in a very emotional tone: "I doubt that Feilong wants to play the season that Chamberlain did back then. If he is really allowed to do it Then he will be the real ruler of this alliance, he will dominate this alliance."
O'Neill was interviewed by the media at home, not as funny as in the past, and said very seriously: "We have made all the preparations, and we will not obey his rule. Tonight, we will slaughter God!"
Kobe accepted an interview in the training hall and said: "There is no ruler in this league. He is not invincible. The Nets can beat him, and so can we. In fact, as long as we want, we can beat him."
"The Ruler Comes to Staples Center, and the Lakers Heroes Want to Kill God!" The New York Times.
Although Zhao Dong has left the Knicks, he still has a strong influence in New York. The Knicks' performance in the new season is too poor. The record of 6 wins and 15 losses is so bad that the New York media don't want to report it. Now the New York media is paying attention to the NBA. They were all transferred to Zhao Dong, just like Zhao Dong was still in the Knicks.
"Tonight, we will slaughter God!"
"There is no ruler in this alliance!"
The media in Los Angeles quoted the words of O'Neal and Kobe, showing a strong momentum.
