Chapter 424 The success or failure of the Nets lies in the outside line
At eight o'clock, the starting lists of both sides will be announced.
Nets: Yao Min, Duncan, Stephen Jackson, Kendall Gill, Marbury.
Blazers: Jermaine O, Brian Grant, Marion, Eddie Jones, Zhao Dong.
The finals are still being broadcast live across the United States by TNT, the broadcaster of the playoffs. Barkley said with a smile: "It is also a super inside combination, but the Nets and the Lakers are still different.
Duncan's ability to stretch is a little stronger than O'Neal, so that they will have more room to break through from the outside.
Yao, on the other hand, is stronger than the old David Robinson, and his ability to stretch can go straight to the three-point line.
The comprehensive strength of this combination is by no means weaker than that of the Lakers insider combination.
But they also have a weakness. They don't have O'Neal's absolute dominance at the basket, which may affect their efficiency and offensive ratio at the basket.
Now if you want to win the Feilong team, you must try to increase the offense at the basket. This may be a weakness of the Nets. "
Smith added: "Yes, they may be able to sweep other teams, but facing the high efficiency of the Dragons, they must enter the basket, so that their physical fitness will have a huge consumption. Like the Lakers, this is also the Nets weakness."
Barkley said with a smile: "On the other hand, Flying Dragon doesn't need to go to the basket. He can hit more than [-]% of his shots in the area near the basket. This is extremely scary, because his physical consumption outside will be relatively reduced. Longer playing time, maintain a higher state and efficiency."
Smith said: "So the Nets may encounter the same problems as the Lakers. They can persist in the first three quarters, but they will collapse in the final quarter due to physical problems."
Barkley said with a smile: "In general, the Blazers have a greater chance, because the Nets still have a bigger weakness. Their perimeter is not as good as the Blazers. Whether it is offense or defense, the Nets have gone from No. [-] to No. [-]." The third position is weaker than the Blazers."
"One question, who will defend the flying dragon?"
Smith closed with a question, asking: "Is it rookie Stephen Jackson, or is it Gidal Gill and Marbury?
In terms of height, Jackson is the most suitable. He is 203 centimeters and has good speed, but he is too young.As for Marbury, the defense is not very good, he will be blasted into scum by the flying dragon.Gil, good steal, but he's still not qualified to guard the Dragons.
The outside line is exploded, and the inside line will directly bear the firepower of the Blazers. How long can the two super inside lines last? "
"Hey, Kenny, you have denied all the three main perimeter players of the Nets. Don't do this, you will damage their morale." Barkley said with a smile.
"Ha ha……"
The two burst into laughter after speaking.
In the commentary booth of CCTV, Zhang Lili smiled and said: "Tonight's game has attracted a lot of attention in the country. It is a real derby, and it is a derby in the finals. I hope that both Zhao Dong and Dayao will have a very good performance. "
"Zhao Dong has cultivated an opponent for himself!" Su Qun laughed.
"Yes, it also cultivated an inside Optimus Prime for our national men's basketball team." Zhang Lili smiled.
At this time, Lindsay showed up in the Rose Garden with her four sons, a large group of security guards and nannies, but instead of going to the sidelines, she was in her long-term rented VIP room.
This is the first time she has appeared in Rose Garden, and it is also the first time Zhao Dong's four sons have appeared here.
Accompanied by the Blazers owner Paul Allen and his sister Jody Allen, the attitude of the two towards Lindsay is quite respectful.
With the live camera focused on Lindsay and the quadruplets, there was now huge applause and cheers, and she also stood up and waved to the fans.
"Welcome Mrs. Lindsay."
Seeing his God of Wealth appearing in the Rose Garden, Barkley was so happy that the fat on his body was jumping.
The camera of CCTV naturally turned to Lindsay's private room, and the whole family also entered the sight of countless people in China.
"Look, old man and old lady, the four little ones are already so big! I won't let them go when they come back this time."
BJ, Zhao Dong's house, Li Meizhu excitedly pointed at the quadruplets on the TV and yelled.
Zhao Zhenguo was also staring at the TV, and when he heard Li Meizhu's words, he shook his head and said, "Weiwei and Dongdong are both working in the United States now, so what's the point of keeping the four children behind? You want a few children, don't they?"
Li Meizhu's face collapsed when she heard the words, she was very frustrated, and said: "It's all because of Dongdong, why are you playing basketball? I can't even see my grandchildren."
The eyes of the old man and the old lady are not very good. At this time, they walked quickly to the TV, bent down and stared carefully at the four identical great-grandchildren, unwilling to look away.
The CCTV lens is also powerful, and it keeps showing close-ups. It didn't move away until 30 seconds later, and then turned back from time to time.
At ten past eight, the starting lineup begins.
After the visiting team, the home team played. When Zhao Dong was the last to walk out of the player tunnel, the Rose Garden ushered in the grandest welcome ceremony, and all the home fans made a unified gesture of worship.
"The king is coming, this is a gift from the Portland Trail Blazers fans to the Dragons. They believe that the Dragons will definitely bring them the long-lost championship..."
The live commentator roared excitedly.
Zhao Dong waved to the fans, then turned to his private room and blew kisses to Lindsay and his four sons.
At 08:30, the game begins.
Xiao Ao and Dayao jumped the ball, and the Blazers attacked.
Xiao Ao and Grant stretched left and right, and the outside line was the same.
The Nets play zone defense, three-two zone defense, and the main defense is to break through the outside line. Now the Blazers are all pulled apart, the defense line is also stretched wide, and the basket and the entire paint area are empty.
Zhao Dong held the ball close to the top of the arc, and the main defense was rookie Stephen Jackson.
Barkley was extremely surprised at this time and said: "Jackson is a rookie in 00. This is his rookie season. He was actually asked to defend the dragon in the finals? What a joke!"
"If you don't let him defend, who will defend?" Smith laughed.
Buckley was startled, but could only nod his head.
"Rookie, I'm going to break through, from your left side."
On the court, Zhao Dong's trash talk started.
"You, you come, come!"
Stephen Jackson stuttered a little nervously, all the muscles in his body were jumping, as if in spasm.
As a rookie, he reached the finals with the team in his rookie season, and he is still the starting small forward, so the pressure is indescribable.
And now in the finals, the team actually asked him to defend the basketball god Flying Dragon. The pressure was greater than the sky.
"Are you stuttering?" Zhao Dong was very surprised.
"Who stuttered, stuttered?"
The future martial saint said.
At this moment, Zhao Dong made a breakthrough, and really rushed over from Wu Sheng's left side in one step.
Wu Sheng stretched out his hand instinctively, and the whistle rang immediately.
The referee ran over, pointed at Wu Sheng, and made a gesture of illegal hand fouling.
"Look, this is the rookie."
Barkley laughed and said, "If a rookie fouls the Dragon, the whistle will definitely go off."
The Trail Blazers served from the sideline of the frontcourt. Zhao Dong received the ball outside the three-point line on the left wing. With a turn around, he broke through Wu Sheng and went into the flank.
The outside defense of the Nets is indeed inferior to that of the Lakers. The second line of defense was not formed in time. Marbury only glanced at Zhao Dong, who entered from his side, and did not move in time to follow up.
Zhao Dong rushed into the paint with the ball, Duncan and Dayao had returned to defense,
But he came in from the outside from the flank, and the Nets did not form a second line of defense. That is to say, he did not slow down and change direction.
But he did not launch a direct impact on the basket, but stopped and jumped two meters before the two of them, threw a throw with one hand, and with a bang, the basketball hit the board and went into the basket.
If Duncan was the only one, he would definitely have the cruelest dunk this time, but Dayao was also there, so he was merciful, and he didn't want to hit Dayao, so as not to hurt him.
"Look, I said that the Nets are not as good as the Lakers. Once the first line of defense on the outside is broken, the back will be empty." Zhang Reasonable shouted.
Su Qun was stunned, Director Zhang, when did you say that?
When it was the Nets' turn to attack, Dayao and Duncan stood in the low positions on the left and right, setting up an offensive formation of low-post twin towers.
Marbury controlled the ball outside for a while, then lobbed it to Dayao.
Dayao immediately hit Xiao Ao with his back, swayed left and right, successfully slid down, took the ball to the basket in two steps, and with a bang, Grant, who was back on defense, made a dunk.
Standing outside, Zhao Dong watched Dayao's attack and couldn't help but nodded.
Unlike the previous life, this time Dayao's weight was controlled at 125 kg, which made his mobility significantly stronger than in the previous life. Although his offensive and strong fighting ability was weaker than in the previous life, his skills in this life are better. His offensive and The defense is stronger than in the previous life.
For the best team this time, if it wasn't for O'Neal on the top and Duncan occupying the position of power forward, he would have a chance to be selected for the best team.
"The Blazers can't defend the Nets' inside offense. Although Yao and Duncan's dominance around the basket is not as good as O'Neal's, they are both top-level technical streamers. Their skills are enough to blow up the Blazers' inside line." Barker Lee laughed.
"The Blazers still have to rely on the perimeter to win." Smith laughed.
Coming to the frontcourt, Zhao Dong attracted Stephen Jackson and Gidal Gill's double-team from the outside. At this time, Marion, who was emptied, immediately cut to the basket and received a pass from Zhao Dong, before Duncan and Dayao returned. Before the defense, he completed a very explosive split button.
"The Nets' defensive speed is too slow!" Su Qun said.
"There is no way. The Blazers are too wide open. This time, Duncan should come up to defend, but Marion's cutting speed is too fast, and he is half a beat slower." Zhang Reasonable laughed.
"This Marion now has a nickname. I heard that it was Zhao Dong who called it a hacker." Su Qun laughed.
"Yes, it came from the locker room." Zhang Lili smiled.
The Nets' offense was still a steady low-post offense. Duncan hit a near-the-basket hit on Grant's head.
In the next few rounds, the two sides will come and go, the Blazers will focus on outside breakthroughs, and the Nets will focus on low-post offenses, and try to get to the basket as much as possible to improve offensive efficiency.
After half a quarter, at 12:16, the Blazers led by 4 points, and the Nets' possession of the ball can be said to be comparable.
On the CCTV commentary table, Zhang Reasonable analyzed: "In the first half of the quarter, Zhao Dong sent 3 assists, plus 3 of 3 shots, 1 of 1 free throw, and got 7 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists. Although the performance was good, it seemed Didn't go all out. It didn't do enough damage to the inside of the Nets, and only caused Duncan to foul once."
Su Qun hurriedly said: "I also have this feeling, not only on the offensive end, but also on the defensive end.
At this time, in the TNT commentary booth, Barkley said with a smile: "The Dragons don't seem to invest enough on the defensive end today. In this way, as long as Marbury doesn't shoot wildly and doesn't stick to the ball, the Nets will have no problem offensively."
"The offense of the floor-flow combination is historically powerful." Smith laughed.
"But I'm sure Marbury will endure the loneliness." Barkley said with a grin.
He really said it, and in the second half, Marbury began to increase his possession of the ball.
The so-called possession of the ball does not necessarily mean taking too many shots, but holding the ball for a long time. The ball is always in the hands of one person, and teammates cannot get the ball.
At the same time, the Blazers suddenly strengthened their outside defense.
Marbury took the ball and turned around outside, always not passing the ball, but looking for opportunities to shoot. He only scored two points in the first half.
"Snapped!"
Zhao Dong, who was facing Marbury, suddenly stepped forward to press, succeeded in stealing the ball, and then took the ball to the frontcourt.
Marbury hurriedly chased after him, but Zhao Dong's speed was not slower than him. Seeing Zhao Dong rushing past the top of the arc, he gave up chasing.
"boom!"
Under the flying dunk, the audience cheered for him.
"Tie Ma, how can you snatch the championship from me with such a rotten defense?" Zhao Dong defended and retreated in the backcourt, spraying trash talk at the same time.
Marbury said airily: "Sooner or later, I will break you a ball."
"When dreaming?" Zhao Dong sprayed.
"..."
Marbury didn't want to talk anymore, he was so angry.
"squeak!"
Zhao Dong suddenly rushed up, stretched out his arm, and stabbed the basketball that Marbury was dribbling to the floor.
In a hurry, Marbury quickly turned around to protect the ball. In his eagerness, the ball was not taken away, but he joined the ball and stopped on the spot.
Next, Eddie Jones and Marion rushed over and began to encircle Marbury.
Soon, the ball was snatched by Eddie Jones.
"boom!"
Marion received the pass from Jones and made another flying dunk, which ignited the atmosphere of the audience.
Zhang Lili shook his head and said: "At 12:20, he was intercepted twice, and the point difference immediately widened. The Nets are now behind by 8 points."
Su Qun said with a smile: "The Blazers didn't use their strength to defend from the outside in the first half of the quarter. Now if they do, the Nets will be in danger."
Zhang Lili said with a smile: "A person's physical strength is also limited, let it go when it should be released, and tighten it when it should be tightened. This is called Zhang Chi has a degree.
When the Bad Boys defended Jordan, Jordan's rules could only last half of the court, and the physical fitness could not be maintained. "
After the Blazers strengthened their perimeter defense, the Nets' offense became more difficult. Sometimes Dayao and Duncan were in position, and even entered the basket, but the ball couldn't pass.
And Zhao Dong also started to target Duncan. After breaking through the weak perimeter of the Nets, he launched an attack on him, with obvious intentions to beat him down.
The specific tactic is to let Jermaine O'Neal pull Dayao out, while Grant stays in the paint, so that Duncan also stays there, and then waits for the impact of Zhao Dong and the Blazers outside.
The tactics were very successful. In the 9th minute of the first quarter, Duncan made a second foul and went to rest.
Without the containment force of the twin towers, the Nets' inside offense immediately weakened.
After the first quarter, at 22:35, the Blazers led by 13 points.
Dayao supported the inside line alone, played a full quarter, made 8 of 5 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, scored 12 points, and also received a second foul later.
Zhao Dong strengthened his offense in the second half of the quarter, played a full quarter, made 11 of 9 shots, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 22 points.
Dayao rested in the second quarter, and Duncan led the bench to play.
For the Blazers, Zhao Dong and another main lineup played.
Barkley smiled and said: "This is the advantage of a deep lineup. Unless you can play the whole game like a flying dragon and maintain a good state throughout the game, your substitute lineup will be blown up by me. No matter how strong the main lineup is, it will be useless." .”
"In the main lineup, the Nets are also weaker than the Trail Blazers. No matter how strong the inside line is, the Nets still have to rely on passing the ball from the outside line. If the outside line is overwhelmed by the Blazers, no matter how strong the inside line is, it is useless." Smith shook his head.
Barkley said: "The Nets can't defend the Dragon from the outside line at all. This allows the Dragon to play super efficient, with a hit rate of more than [-]%. If this continues, the Nets will have no chance."
At this time, in the CCTV commentary seat, Zhang Lili shook his head and smiled and said: "The outside line of the Nets is a typical offense. They can't attack, defend, and can't defend. Like the Lakers, the Nets are too strong on the inside and too weak on the outside. The perimeter is even weaker."
"The success or failure of the Nets lies in the outside line." Su Qun added.
Zhang Lili said with a smile: "At the beginning of the season, Marion was still a little behind, and the Blazers still had such a weakness on the perimeter.
But after a season of training, Marion has grown up and can provide the team with stable firepower and defense in the third position.
Although he doesn't have the ability to attack with the ball, he is good at both inside and outside shots, especially the ability to assist in defense. He can help defend the basket when he goes down, and he can help defend to the three-point line on the wings when he goes up. It is really very effective. "
Su Qun said: "Zhao Dong + Eddie Jones + Marion, now the Blazers' outside line, regardless of the offensive and defensive ends, can be said to be the most powerful outside line in the league. No team can match it.
The inside line is a little weaker. Although they have enough depth and are at the level of the main inside line, their personal strength is still a bit weaker. "
Zhang Lili added: "The Blazers' insiders are mainly inferior in personal offensive ability. They are not bad in defense and rebounding, and they are all top-notch in the league. Otherwise, the Lakers have a super combination like O'Neal and David Robinson. What about losing?"
