Chapter 425 The Fifth Crown
After half a quarter in the second quarter, the point difference continued to widen. In desperation, the Nets replaced all the main lineups and began to play hard.
The Blazers still follow the established tactics to strengthen the prevention and control of the Nets' outside lines.
This effect is very important, because the outside line is weak, Dayao and Duncan can only waste their energy in the low post, often in place, but the ball cannot be passed in time, and sometimes the ball is not in place, but the ball comes in.
Barkley shook his head and said: "If the Nets want to win the championship, they must have a top point guard, such as Jason Kidd or Gary Payton. Yao and Duncan must have such a person to pass the ball for them."
Smith said: "At least half of the physical energy of the two of them wasted in vain. If they enter the final quarter, they will definitely be crushed."
Barkley said with a smile: "No, the final quarter should enter garbage time."
Barkley's words came true. After three quarters, the Blazers had already led by 25 points, and at most they led by [-] points, blowing up the Nets.
In the last quarter, the Nets saw no hope of getting back. In order to save the physical fitness of Dayao and Duncan, they voluntarily gave up the game and replaced them with substitutes.
Zhang Lili commented after the game, saying: "Sitting on two super insiders, although Marbury sent out 9 assists, he made 7 turnovers. This assist ratio is too low."
Su Qun said with a smile: "Except for the first half of the first quarter, Zhao Dong's defense against him has been very tight. Today he only made 19 of 6 shots. Compared with Zhao Dong's 25 of 19 shots, it is no wonder that the Nets did not lose. "
Zhang Lili said: "Dayao played 44 minutes, scored 33 points, and shot 54%. Duncan had five fouls, and his playing time was affected. He only played 31 minutes, scored 19 points, and shot 58%. The two of them teamed up and scored 52 points, which can be regarded as blowing up the inside line of the Blazers."
Su Qun said with a smile: "Feilong scored 57 points with free throws, more points than Yao and Duncan combined, and the shooting percentage was as high as 66%. This is the performance of the god of efficiency, and it is also the reason why the Blazers won. "
Zhang Lili said: "During the regular season, one win and one loss, the Nets seem to be able to fight the Trail Blazers. Now that they have entered the finals, the gap is a bit big!"
Su Qun said: "In fact, the second game of the regular season, the one played in Portland, was a preview of today's game. In that game, Zhao Dong mainly attacked Duncan, affecting his playing time, and then strengthened his attack on Marbury. Prevention and control, blasting the outside line, and finally won the Nets."
"The tactics are the same."
Zhang Lili said: "Now Marion has grown up, and Xiao Ao has also grown up. Now the Blazers in the finals are stronger than the Blazers in that game, so it is easier to win."
On the field, after the game, Zhao Dong and Dayao chatted a few words.
"It's your first time in the finals, how do you feel?" Zhao Dong asked with a smile.
Dayao was so tired that he couldn't stand up straight. He bent his waist and propped his legs up. His sweat dripped on the floor like threads. He gasped and said, "Brother Dong, let the iron horse go. Prevent him from death. It's too easy for you to win. Not too challenging, is it?"
Zhao Dong laughed and said, "You can't let him go. In the end, I will reduce the prevention and control of him from the beginning."
"What do you want, Brother Dong?" Dayao straightened up in fright.
"Of course I want to sweep you away, what else do you want to do?" Zhao Dong laughed.
"The finals were swept, isn't that the fate of O'Neal?"
Dayao's face suddenly became bitter, and he persuaded: "Brother Dong, don't sweep us away, the league won't like a one-sided game."
"That won't work. If I sweep you away earlier, I can return home earlier." After speaking, Zhao Dong left with a smile on his face.
"Swept? This is my first finals!" Dayao lamented from behind.
After the G1 game, Marbury's performance in the finals was questioned by the media and fans.
Barkley was interviewed by the media and commented on Marbury's performance. He said: "Iron Horse makes too many mistakes. He doesn't seem to adapt to the Dragon's defense. If he can't solve this problem, the Nets will be very difficult.
At the same time, I also advise the iron horse, don't be too sticky to the ball, give the ball in earlier.
Whether it is Yao or Duncan, they both have the ability to hold the ball in the low post and also have the ability to pass the ball. You must trust your two super inside teammates.
When your two teammates get the ball in the low post, it will inevitably greatly compress the Blazers' defense, so that you can get a huge space on the outside. "
An hour later, the Nets' press conference was held, and many media began chasing Marbury to ask various questions, which made him very annoyed.
Among these problems, some doubted that he had too much possession of the ball, was too sticky to the ball, some doubted that he made too many mistakes, and some doubted his defensive attitude.
This greatly affected his psychology. After the press conference, he asked Duncan and Dayao in frustration: "Do you think I'm really that bad? Will the team trade me during the offseason?"
Duncan and Dayao were also very helpless, they could only speak out to comfort Marbury first.
There is only one game in the finals. If Marbury collapses first, then there is no need to fight, just admit defeat.
A day later, the final G2 game started.
When the two teams met in the player tunnel, Zhao Dong looked at Marbury with a smile and said, "Iron Horse, I heard that the Nets are going to trade you?"
"Feilong, have you heard the news?" Marbury's expression changed.
"Didn't the media say it all?" Zhao Dong said with a smile.
Marbury breathed a sigh of relief, and glared at Zhao Dong. Who are you scaring? Am I scared?
"Brother Dong, don't scare Stephen." Dayao couldn't laugh or cry.
In the G2 game, Marbury gained some experience and performed much better against Zhao Dong.
However, the Nets' outside strength is still weaker than that of the Blazers, and they are still destined to be blown up.
The explosion on the outside line naturally spread to the inside line. Dayao and Duncan also failed to withstand the impact of the Blazers' outside line, and eventually lost the G2 game.
On the 8th, the two teams arrived in New York City almost at the same time, and then took the bus to East Rutherford, New Jersey, where the Nets are located.
With only [-] square kilometers, New Jersey is a small state with the highest population density. It borders New York in the north, and a large part of it is classified as the New York metropolitan area.
The so-called East Rutherford City, in Zhao Dong's eyes, is a complete small town, which cannot even enter the top [-] cities in New Jersey. He is not surprised that the Nets will move to New York in the future, because here The ball market is too small.
On the 9th, the final G3 game started.
Under the pressure, Marbury's performance was abnormal, not as good as in the G2 game. The point guard's performance naturally affected the whole team. The Nets lost the G3 game, and they are basically sure to lose the finals.
About to be swept, the Big Three of the Nets felt great pressure.
Barkley said after the game: "Now the Nets have only one problem, to avoid being swept."
On the 11th, the G4 battle started.
The Blazers stared at the outside line of the Nets, Zhao Dong stared at Marbury, and he was blown to pieces on both offense and defense.
The point guard is the initiator of all offenses. If this position is exploded, the Nets' offense will not be able to be played smoothly, and no matter how strong the inside line is, it will be useless.
At the same time, the Nets' perimeter ranges from No. [-] to No. [-], and their comprehensive strength is even two levels weaker than that of the Blazers. They do nothing on the offensive end, and there is no way to form enough defensive pressure on the defensive end, and they are completely overwhelmed.
The outside line was exploded on both offensive and defensive ends, and the ending of being swept came as expected.
Four to zero, the Trail Blazers completed a sweep of the finals at the home court of the Nets and won the NBA championship in the 00/01 season.
At the same time, Zhao Dong won five consecutive championships and won the honor of Finals Most Valuable Player FMVP five consecutive times, making history.
"Congratulations to Zhao Dong, he has won five consecutive championships. He is a true basketball god!" Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.
"Four consecutive MVPs, first in history. Five consecutive FMVPs, first in history. 50+ in the finals series, first in history. 101 points in a single game in the regular season, first in history. 80 points in a single game in the playoffs, first in history First. Five consecutive titles, four consecutive scoring titles, two consecutive assists titles, four consecutive double firsts. This series of hard honors is the confidence of Zhao Dong to become the god of basketball." Su Qun said excitedly.
In the TNT commentary seat, Barkley smiled and said: "Congratulations to the Blazers, winning the championship after 24 years. At the same time, congratulations to the boss, Mr. Paul Allen, your investment has finally paid off."
Kenny Smith smiled and said: "Congratulations to Larry Bird for winning the championship as the head coach. Although your coaching level is average, Naihe embraced the right thigh."
"Ha ha……"
Barkley laughed.
The Blazers management had prepared champagne for celebration. After the players celebrated with the away fans, they returned to the locker room, only to hear the champagne being opened, and the entire locker room was incensed. Binge drowned.
Management and owner Paul Allen also got involved, getting sprayed and drenched one by one.
Back in Portland, the Blazers held a grand celebration ceremony.
美国时间6月14号上午9点,赵东一家和诸多随行人员登上了回家的飞机,预定落地时间是BJ时间的15号上午9点。
"Dacheng, Dacheng, get up quickly, are you still sleeping at this hour?"
Early in the morning, before dawn, Li Meizhu, who couldn't wait to see the quadruplets, got up and ran to the next yard to wake up her eldest.
"Oh, my mother, it's only past five o'clock."
Zhao Dacheng woke up with a start, seeing that it wasn't very bright outside, he complained in his heart.
"My plane is flying fast, maybe it has already arrived, so hurry up and get up." Li Meizhu shouted.
"My own plane can't speed too!" Zhao Dacheng couldn't help complaining.
"Get up quickly, if you let mom continue yelling, the child will have to be woken up by her." Xu Qing was also awakened, and hurriedly urged.
"Get up."
Glancing at the small shaker beside the bed, the little guy who was just half a month old really showed signs of waking up, so Zhao Dacheng quickly got up.
Putting on his clothes, he went outside and said to Li Meizhu: "Mom, there are dozens of people up and down, brother, it's not enough for you and me to go alone. The arranged motorcade made an appointment to arrive home at seven o'clock, and it was more than an hour away." Woolen cloth."
"It's almost there, you call them first, no, tell them to go directly to the airport, let's go there first." Li Meizhu said.
"Okay, I'll call right away." Zhao Dacheng said helplessly.
Before seven o'clock, Zhao Dacheng drove his car and brought his mother to the international airport.
"Mom, take a nap in the car for a while, it's still two hours away." Zhao Dacheng said.
"What are you squinting, hurry up and wait inside, have you been sleeping less all day long?"
Li Meizhu didn't want to wait for half a second, and hurried down, and Zhao Dacheng followed helplessly.
After a while, the convoy arranged by Zhao Dacheng also arrived at the airport.
After waiting, Zhao Dong's plane didn't land at the airport until [-]:[-], and the family appeared in Li Meizhu's sight at [-]:[-].
"mom!"
From far away, Zhao Dong and Lin Sai shouted.
"Hey, ouch, hurry up, come here!"
Seeing four lively and lovely little grandchildren from a distance, Li Meizhu was so excited that she ran over with small steps while waving.
"Mom, please slow down, slow down." Zhao Dong saw it and hurried over.
"Call grandma."
When Li Meizhu came to her body, Lin Sai quickly said to her four sons.
"grandmother."
The quadruplets also cried obediently.
"Eh..."
Looking at the four identical little guys, Li Meizhu's eyes had no place to rest, she looked at this one twice, that one twice, and there was nowhere to put her hands, she wanted to hug this and that.
"Mom, this is the fourth son, Rongxing."
Lin Sai hugged the fourth child Zhao Rongxing by herself, and she sent forward, and the little thing was also clever, and stretched out a pair of small arms to Li Meizhu.
"Hey, give me a hug from grandma."
Li Meizhu laughed until tears came out, and quickly hugged Zhao Rongxing.
Including the entourage, there were dozens of people in the Zhao family, and with the addition of four energetic little guys, it suddenly became lively.
Zhao Dacheng's son was just half a month old, and the full moon wine hadn't been held yet. Zhao Dong came home this time just in time.
After arriving home, he and Lindsay went to the elder brother's yard to see the elder nephew first, and made up a big red envelope.
"Is sister-in-law recovering well?" Lindsay greeted.
"It's fine, it's fine, I went home after staying in the hospital for three days." Xu Qing said hastily.
She had a normal delivery, and the delivery process went smoothly without any problems.
"Brother, my eldest nephew is quite like you."
Zhao Dong turned around on the side of the shaker, and said suddenly.
"Brother, what are you talking about? If you don't like me, then there will be problems." Zhao Dacheng said angrily.
"go."
Xu Qing punched Zhao Dacheng.
"Haha..." Zhao Dongle opened his mouth.
At this time in the NBA, the management of each team is already busy.
In the upcoming draft, in addition to those rookies whose talents are visible to the naked eye, the management also needs to search for gold in the sand, and carefully screen out those rookies who are not very promising in the draft. The selection of the team management.
This is because of Zhao Dong, everyone wants to find the next "Zhao Dong" from those sands.
In addition, the reinforcement of each team is also in progress.
Of course, the trading window has not yet opened.
The agents of the players are also very busy, not only the players who have entered the free market, but also the agents of many players who are under contract.
Among them, most of the Blazers players and their agents have received contact calls from many teams.
Brian Grant, Dale Davis, Fortson, Mike Miller, O'Neal, Marion, their agents are the busiest.
The general manager of the Lakers, Jerry West, is also the busiest. If the Lakers can't win the championship next season, he probably won't be able to continue.
With such a strong lineup and such a big investment, if he can't win the championship, he has no face to continue, and he will leave.
He focused on these players of the Trail Blazers and poached one, which can not only strengthen the Lakers, but also weaken the Trail Blazers, killing two birds with one stone.
And the Nets have the same idea.
The general manager of the Blazers, Wester, has just finished talking with the German Schramf, who has decided to retire.
His next job is mainly to draft and stabilize the existing lineup.
This year's draft pick, the Blazers themselves are not important, but they have the Warriors' top three protected picks this year.
The Warriors' first-round pick this year is fifth, which means that this pick now belongs to the Blazers.
He is using this draft pick to select a potential guard or small forward for the team, and the swingman of the forward guard is also good.
At present, the depth of the guard line is not enough, so Zhao Dong is tied to the guard position. If a good guard can be selected, Zhao Dong's position will be more flexible, and the Blazers' tactics will be better.
In terms of lineup, as long as the current lineup is maintained, next year will still have a very strong championship-level strength.
The important players this year basically have contracts, but he knows that the team is being targeted, and if the players themselves ask for a trade, he has nothing to do.
Also, Marion's three-plus-one rookie contract has completed the first three years, and the last year is a player option, which means that he may choose to enter the free market.
So the most urgent thing for him now is to contact Marion's agent to confirm Marion's thoughts.
"really?"
After the phone call, he was very disappointed. Marion decided to give up the last year of the contract and test the waters of the free market.
He tried to offer a contract of 2000 million for three years, but was immediately rejected by Marion's agent.
