Chapter 419 Phil Jackson, do you want to commit suicide?

Chapter 419 Phil Jackson, do you want to commit suicide?

In the first half, although the Lakers had an OK combination, the offense was not smooth. O'Neal played very hard at the basket, so Kobe later took over the offense.

But Kobe couldn't break in easily, Zhao Dong couldn't easily break through the first line of defense, behind him was Marion's second line of defense, and under the basket was the third line of defense of Fortson and Davis. It's also impossible to hit five every time, so he also shoots jumpers outside, no matter how efficient he is, it's not as efficient as the Blazers' offensive efficiency at the basket.

Zhao Dong has been teasing O'Neill, not only him, but also Marion, the two of them took turns to tease non-stop.

O'Neal has been playing the role of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on the defensive end, and he couldn't help it until the 6th minute.

This time it was Zhao Dong who was attracting double-teams from the outside, Marion cut in without the ball, the former passed the ball, and the latter rushed towards him defiantly after receiving the ball.

He couldn't bear it anymore, so he didn't have to bear it anymore, and he pulled Marion down directly.

If Fortson hadn't hugged Marion in time, Marion might have fallen.

"Di!"

The referee's whistle blew.

"Special!"

Zhao Dong also became angry. He was thrown by O'Neal once in the first quarter. It doesn't matter if he is immune to injuries, so he didn't bother O'Neal. Marion is not immune to injuries, and Marion's resistance is not strong. If it wasn't for the protection of his teammates, he might be crippled, how could he bear it?

Besides, as the boss, he must stand up for the younger brother, and if he doesn't stand up, it is equivalent to encouraging O'Neill. He will do that next time. Who would dare to rush in to fight after the Blazers?

"shark!"

He yelled and jumped on it.

"what?"

Hearing the sound, O'Neill turned his head, his eyes went dark, his throat was locked, and he was immediately thrown to the floor under a huge force.

"Oh!"

The floor jumped three times, and he was thrown into a daze, his eyeballs were straightened.

"Oh!"

The audience exclaimed.

Beep, beep, the referee blew his whistle continuously, rushed forward and began to pull Zhao Dong.

Players from both sides also rushed up.

"Oh, the flying dragon has started!"

When Barkley saw it, he jumped up from his seat and shouted, "O'Neill attacked Marion, Feilong took the lead for the younger brother."

"Pull him away!"

On the sidelines, it happened so suddenly, Phil Jackson was startled, and then shouted at the players on the field.

David Stern was sitting on the sidelines watching the game. Seeing this scene, he patted his thigh irritably.

On the field, Zhao Dong was pulled up.

In fact, he had shown mercy to O'Neill's men, otherwise he would have knocked him down, and he could have knocked him out with just one punch.

"O'Neill, if you can't defend us, you will admit defeat. If you dare to foul maliciously, I will disqualify you next time." After being pulled away, he still pointed at the dazed O'Neill on the floor and yelled sharply.

"I?"

After O'Neill reacted, he looked aggrieved. Who told you to attack me?You have four championships, MVP and FMVP also have four, I still have nothing, am I easy?

The president was on the sidelines. In order to put out the fire, the referee hurriedly dealt with it. He directly gave O'Neal a first-degree malicious foul, two free throws and one throw, and then gave Zhao Dong a technical foul, one free throw and one throw. Together, they became the Blazers Two free throws, the Lakers make one free throw, and the Lakers have the ball.

The penalty seemed to be a disadvantage for the Blazers, who didn't get the ball, but Zhao Dong made a move, and O'Neal was no small role, and the referee had to give him a technical foul.

Barkley analyzed at this time: "The action of the shark is indeed too dangerous. He has already done it on the dragon once in the first quarter, and he did it again this time. Moreover, he did not take any protective action against the dragon and Marion. The dragon was caught by the dragon. It's normal to be irritated."

"I don't know why Feilong uses the wrestling action. What if he punches O'Neal directly?" Smith asked curiously.

"Oh……"

Barkley shook his head with a smile and said: "Then the shark will be carried off the field directly, and then go to the hospital to check whether his head has been blown off, haha!"

"So in fact, the dragon is showing mercy. But I think if the shark does that again, the dragon may not hold back." Smith laughed.

In the CCTV commentary seat, Zhang Lili also talked about this issue. He said: "The league has stipulated the defensive rules of the reasonable collision zone, which can only take off vertically. The defender cannot make unnecessary movements, and his elbow cannot leave his cylinder. Although the defender is very passive, the rule is fair and it is aimed at both sides, so this rule must be followed.

When O'Neal was unable to defend against the Blazers' impact on him, he took such a malicious foul defensive action, which was indeed too much, and Zhao Dong's move was justifiable. "

Su Qun said: "I don't think O'Neal will dare to do that anymore. If he does it again, there will probably be a fight in this game, and the Lakers will be blown away by Zhao Dong."

"One pick twelve?"

Zhang Li laughed out loud after speaking.

Indeed, after the game started, O'Neill didn't dare to do that anymore, and Zhao Dong began to attack him with all his strength.

Encouraged by Zhao Dong, Marion was not timid and continued to attack O'Neill.

Adding Eddie Jones, under the force of the impact of the three, O'Neal shrank, and was thrown by Zhao Dong, his state was not good, and he soon received his third personal foul, and was then replaced.

After the second quarter, the Blazers used a powerful impact to blow up the Lakers' inside line, leading by [-] points.

In the second half, the Lakers replaced the inside substitute, wanting to top it up, so as not to leave O'Neal prematurely.

But it was useless. After being on the bench, the Lakers themselves did not have a strong low post and offense at the basket.

Phil Jackson could only let O'Neal play again, and then ushered in a strong impact from the Blazers.

O'Neal played for 3 minutes and received his fourth foul. His defense could no longer be seen, and he completely turned into a defense with eyes. Even if Eddie Jones made a sudden stop in front of him for a jumper, he dared not block the shot.

On the offensive end, with the decline in physical fitness, the offense at the basket began to decrease and the efficiency decreased.

However, Phil Jackson did not replace O'Neal, because the point difference reached [-] points at this time, and after replacing it, it was tantamount to giving up the game.

But the result of him not changing is actually the same. How can O'Neal, who has no defense, stop the Blazers from attacking?

At the same time, Fortson further strengthened the defense against O'Neal, coupled with Marion's quick defense, he resolutely prevented him from getting close to the basket easily, further reducing the offensive efficiency of the Sharks.

Under the two phases, the Lakers collapsed at an accelerated rate. After the third quarter, they fell behind by 23 points, and the final quarter was considered garbage time.

At the beginning of the last quarter, the Lakers did not give up the game, still unable to comeback, and finally lost the G1 game.

94:120, the Blazers won by 26 points.

Zhao Dong made 25 of 20 shots, most of which were breakthroughs, because O'Neal was not defensive enough, and his shooting percentage was as high as 80%. In addition, he made 13 of 13 free throws and scored a quasi-triple double of 53 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists.

After the game, Zhao Dong accepted a live interview on the sidelines.

"Flying Dragon, what do you want to say about O'Neal's two malicious actions?" the Portland Athletic reporter asked.

"Next time I will teach him a lesson, not just gently put him on the floor." Zhao Dong said.

"Feilong, what are your expectations for the G2 match?" Another reporter asked.

"Gentle? As gentle as shit! Your gentleness almost killed me."

O'Neill happened to pass by, and when he heard Zhao Dong's words, he shouted very sadly.

"Go away, you foul-loving bastard."

Zhao Dong waved his hands as a gesture of repelling, O'Neill turned his head and left in anger, and the reporters roared with laughter.

An hour later, the two teams held a press conference.

"O'Neal, why did you use malicious fouls to defend?" A local reporter asked at the Lakers press conference.

"No, I didn't want to hurt them." O'Neill distinguished.

"But you didn't take any protective action against them, when you pulled them down." The reporter asked coldly.

"I'm too late." O'Neill began to quibble.

"Are you worried that the Blazers will use the same defensive action against you?" the reporter asked.

"This one……"

O'Neill was also worried that if he was given that, it might hurt him.

"Feilong said just now that next time there is such a movement, he will not gently put you on the floor again." The reporter finally said.

"He's not gentle, he almost threw me to death." O'Neill said aggrievedly.

"Coach Jackson, with such a strong lineup, the Lakers even tied with the Blazers in the regular season. Why did they lose so badly today?"

A Los Angeles reporter asked.

Phil Jackson rubbed his forehead and said: "The situation is obvious. The flying dragon killed Shaq. He succeeded. We didn't protect Shaq enough."

"In other words, was the game lost due to tactical reasons?" the reporter asked.

Phil Jackson is very reluctant to admit this, but he can't deny it, because the Lakers' lineup is there, and he can't push the problem to O'Neal, saying that O'Neal didn't control his fouls, that would definitely ignite O'Neal's temper.

There are things he cannot possibly say here, or even anywhere.

According to tradition, power forwards do coolies for the center. Defense, rebounding, and protecting the center are the job of the power forward.

But it is impossible for him to arrange David Robinson to do coolies, and it is impossible for Robinson to agree, so the super center combination is not enough to protect O'Neal.

Then the Blazers played inside and opened up tactics, and the old David Robinson didn't have many opportunities to help defend. Even if he wanted to protect O'Neal, he couldn't do it.

He was very clear about the loss in G1. With the offensive strength of the Lakers' main lineup, as long as the main lineup lasts long enough, there is a chance to beat the Blazers. The regular season has proved this point.

He believes that the only problem now is how to protect O'Neal so that he can exert all his combat power from the offensive end to the defensive end.

As long as this is done, the super center combination can blow up the Blazers.

Facing the reporter's questioning, he could only nod his head and admit it, saying: "We will do our best to protect Shaq in the G2 battle and do everything possible."

On the Trail Blazers side, the atmosphere is very good.

"Larry, in our four regular-season games against the Lakers, the Dragons didn't attack O'Neal. Is this intentional?" a local reporter asked.

Larry Bird smiled smugly and nodded.

In the four regular season games of this season, he really didn't let Zhao Dong play like this. He just wanted to paralyze the Lakers. Only now did he come up with this tactic that can play Zhao Dong's strongest ability. Sure enough, he played in the G1 game. The Lakers were caught off guard.

The next morning, the media commented on last night's game, and they were generally optimistic that the Blazers would win the Western Conference Finals.

And this afternoon, the Lakers held a tactical meeting at the hotel.

Kobe was a little dissatisfied, he raised a doubt, and said: "I don't understand, why didn't we increase the outside offense after the Sharks and David's efficiency dropped in the second half?

Is it because of efficiency?But after the Blazers strengthened their defense, coupled with their physical decline and too many fouls, their efficiency has dropped. Can we consider strengthening the offense from the outside and let them be responsible for rebounding at the basket? "

Phil Jackson's heart moved, yes, this is indeed a way.

O'Neal and David Robinson have absolute heights at the basket. On the other side, only O'Neal's height has reached 211 cm. The Lakers have a height advantage.

Kobe added: "We have never played in the whole season. It is the inside-out tactic of the God-killing lineup created by Barkley. Can we also consider it? Shaq and David pull out, and I can break through more easily. Go in and fight, I can kill them."

Phil Jackson began to think about this issue. His tactic has always been the triangle offense, with this as the main focus and the double-tower tactic at the basket as the second. He has never played this kind of tactic of pulling out inside.

The traditional center tactic has never allowed the two insiders to pull out the tactical play. He actually does not agree with the god-killing tactic, which will seriously weaken the role of the center and the advantage of the basket.

But now he lost the G1 game by a big score, which reminded him of the experience of being defeated by Zhao Dong's team four years ago, forcing him to start thinking about more tactical possibilities, even if he is not very good at this kind of tactics , also have to be considered.

But after careful consideration, he decided to only use this kind of inside stretching tactic as one of his regular tactics, and he would not play too much, and only played when the inside needed to recover his physical fitness.

When Kobe heard it, he snorted coldly and fell silent.

Looking at Kobe's appearance, Phil Jackson knew that this kid disagreed. In order to prevent Kobe from acting without authorization on the court, he explained:

"Kobe, although pulling out the inside line can open up space for you to break through, but they play a two-one-two zone defense, and you are likely to encounter double-teams. At the same time, there is Marion's second line of defense in the middle, and the first line of the inside line that was pulled out Three lines of defense, you still have to break through several lines of defense, how sure are you?

What we want is efficiency, and a success rate of less than [-]% is not what we need.

We are facing Flying Dragon, the god of efficiency. His hit rate in G1 is as high as [-]%. Can you ensure that the breakthrough success rate reaches more than [-]%? "

"..."

When Kobe heard this, he was also speechless. How could he have a breakthrough success rate of more than [-]%?Just the level of the flying dragon is not easy to break through.

Phil Jackson didn't want to hurt Kobe's morale, and said: "It's not that we don't play that kind of tactic. The coaching staff will design that kind of tactic for you, let your teammates do pick-and-roll for you, and clear the obstacles for you to break through, but you Promise me that you will not be reckless."

"Phil, I promise you." Kobe said excitedly.

"Phil, how are you going to play?" General manager Jerry West asked at this time.

Phil Jackson already had an idea in his mind and said: "We lost in the G1 game because we didn't prevent the flying dragon from killing Shaq, so our main problem in the G2 game is to do everything possible to prevent him from attacking Shaq.

We can't guard the dragon on the defensive end. I have played against him for five seasons. This is the fifth season. From the Bulls to the Lakers, I admit that I have never guarded him.

Therefore, when we cannot prevent him from scoring, if we continue to let him attack Shaq and our scoring ability is weakened, then we still have to lose, so we must solve this problem. "

When he said this, everyone nodded.

Everyone in the G1 game was very aggrieved, especially O'Neal, who played with his hands tied, and was able to shoot with all his strength on the offensive end. Later, he fouled too much and was called an offensive foul. He dared not go all out on the offensive end.

But how to solve this problem, no one can do anything.

Because solving the problem of O'Neill not being attacked is how to prevent Zhao Dong from breaking through, which is actually an unsolvable problem.

So, they are all looking to Phil Jackson now, hoping that he can come up with a solution.

But in fact, they didn't count on Phil Jackson much, because Jackson hasn't solved the problem of how to defend Zhao Dong in the past few years.

Phil Jackson seemed to feel the suspicion in everyone's eyes, and he was a little embarrassed, because he really didn't have a good solution. If he had, he would not lose in the Bulls.

"So, you just put forward suggestions, but there is no solution?" Seeing Phil Jackson's appearance, everyone was very disappointed.

"I'm going to play a mixed defense in the G2 game, and Kobe will defend the Dragons." Phil Jackson said at this time.

"Mix defense?" Everyone was startled, can it work?

"Me?" Kobe cheered up.

He is not afraid of challenges, he can bear the pressure no matter how big it is, and the main defense is the main defense, no big deal.

"Then……"

A resolute look flashed in Phil Jackson's eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "We're playing foul tactics on Feilong."

"what?"

Everyone is shocked, do you want to commit suicide?
