NBA Dynasty Sniper

Chapter 230: Zone defense and defense for 3 seconds?

That night, many people were not in the mood to sleep anymore. They watched the video of the game repeatedly.

  

   These people include the Eastern Heat’s head coach Pat Riley, the Bulls’ Phil Jackson, the Pacers’ Larry Bird, the Western Jazz’s Jerry Sloan, the Spurs’ Popovich, and the Lakers’ Harris.

  

   These are the teams that may meet with the Knicks next, and Zhao Dong almost played 5*5 in the half, so they had to work overtime overnight.

  

   "The defense on the inside has been strengthened, and there is no change on the offensive end." This is the result of Phil Jackson's research.

  

   This result, let him know that Zhao Dong should have made preparations to defend Ewing.

  

  In other words, Zhao Dong should return to the low position when he meets the bull, just like playing a knight.

  

   This is a bad thing, because Zhao Dong's inside defense seems to be stronger, and Zhao Dong's low post offense is very efficient. It is impossible for him to ignore Zhao Dong's board attack against the Jazz in the finals.

  

   This is also a good thing, because when Zhao Dong returns to the low post, then the Knicks' fast break ability will definitely be weakened, and Zhao Dong's impact on the inside will also be weakened.

  

   There is another point. Although Zhao Dong in the low position can also play as an organization center, his organization function will definitely be weakened, not as good as the small forward position.

  

Larry Bird repeatedly watched the video for an hour, and came to the conclusion that playing the Knicks can't directly confront Zhao Dong, because the Pacers have no qualifications and ability to reach Zhao Dong's level, and they are close to each other. nothing.

  

   The Pacers are different from the Bulls. The Bulls have Ewing. The Pacers do not have superstars in the low position, let alone super giants, so he is not even sure which position Zhao Dong will play against the Knicks.

  

   This makes him very helpless, even Zhao Dong's location is unpredictable, and he is still studying a ghost? Turn off the TV and he went to bed.

  

  Miami, Pat Riley, like Phil Jackson, predicts that Zhao Dong will return to the low position against the Heat and match Mourning.

  

   Then his strategy is to let Mourning contain Zhao Dong in the same way as the Jazz in last season's finals, and then let the bug attack from the other flank.

  

   Like these head coaches, espn was rushing to work overnight.

  

   After Zhao Dong was injured, espn's championship probability rankings abandoned the Knicks. This time they have to quickly modify the rankings, otherwise the rankings will only become a joke.

  

   The next day, Zhao Dong's performance after his comeback shocked the world.

  

   "The Knights collapsed at halftime, Iron Man officially returned, the Knicks returned to the top, and the sword pointed to the championship." The New York Times.

  

   "Flying dragons are on the offensive and defensive ends, and the rain man is like a bird with its feathers stripped. He is at a loss on the court and performs poorly." New York Sports News.

  

espn announced the update of the list at 8 am. The Knicks regained the top three, even surpassing the Pacers, becoming the first chance of winning, up to 55% of winning chances, showing the edge of the championship defending team. .

  

   At the same time, what Zhao Dong said at the press conference was also identified by the media as that he absolutely did not take banned drugs, otherwise he would never dare to place such a big bet.

  

   In fact, many people have started to contact major pharmaceutical companies, hoping to get relevant information.

  

   Among these people are companies such as Adidas, Nike and Reebok. They are the promoters of this public opinion storm and most hope to bring down Zhao Dong.

  

   Unfortunately, the major pharmaceutical companies and their sales channels have not been able to come up with relevant records, which disappointed Nike and the others.

  

   In addition to these, because of Zhao Dong’s super explosive performance in the first game of his comeback, the league’s teams and countless media immediately restarted the discussion on restarting the "anti-isolation singles rule", which is more intense than some time ago.

  

   And this afternoon, at the headquarters of the alliance, Stern personally participated in the meeting to revise the rules.

  

He is a person who supports the introduction of restrictive rules, because if Zhao Dong is too strong, it will affect the interests of the league. For example, the one-sided series may be liked by fans at the beginning, but after a long time, the series without suspense will lose a lot of attraction. Force, this is what he tries to avoid.

  

   This is not about suppressing Zhao Dong, just like Jordan after the introduction of Jordan's Law, he was not restricted by Jordan's Law, but under the restriction of Jordan's Law, the brightest edge broke out and played a dynasty.

  

He believes that Zhao Dong can play a dynasty like Jordan under the restrictive rules and the same environment. This is the most anticipated thing, and it is also the most favorable situation for Zhao Dong, so that he is qualified to compete with Jordan. .

  

   That night, the Bulls swept the Hornets with a score of three to zero, and took the lead in the second round of the Eastern Conference.

  

   On the 29th, Zhao Dong once again led his team to defeat the Cavaliers and advanced to the second round with a big score of three to one.

  

   In this game, Old Nelson didn't adjust his tactics, so he used the same tactics and defeated the Cavaliers at halftime.

  

   Zhao Dong played for 30 minutes, hit a 40+ all-around performance, played the system recognized dominance performance, and was rewarded by the second dominance shard.

  

   With the end of this game, the voice calling for the introduction of the restriction rules has become louder and louder.

  

   Pat Riley stood up and said: "I think the league should consider launching a zone defense."

  

   One stone hit a thousand waves, the media and the league teams immediately began to discuss this possibility.

  

   Los Angeles, Jerry West has a headache, because once the zone defense rules are introduced, O'Neal will be greatly restricted in the basket.

  

   But there are pros and cons, the implementation of zone defense is also a great harm to Zhao Dong, which is also a great benefit to the Lakers competing for the championship.

  

   On April 30th, the Knicks returned to New York and were warmly welcomed by the Knicks fans.

  

   Regardless of this, just talk about Nike, Adi, and Reebok. These two days began to comprehensively promote the introduction of restriction rules.

  

   They used a lot of power to get many people in the alliance to stand up and speak out for the restart of this rule.

  

   But the key to what they have to do is not the introduction of this rule.

  

  Because the promulgation of this rule has been confirmed, what they hope to achieve is that the modification of the rule will create more and greater constraints on Zhao Dong.

  

   But in the meantime, Nike and Adi and Reebok have had very serious differences.

  

   Nike, with Jordan, has captured half of Adi’s basketball shoes in the past 13 or four years, and it is an absolute competitor with Adi.

  

   Even, now Adi’s most powerful opponent is not Feilong Sports, but Nike.

  

  The principle that Nike wants to modify the rules this time is to restrict Zhao Dong and let go of Jordan's hands and feet. This is in Nike's best interests.

  

  Because the anti-isolation law restricts Jordan. Once restarted, it will also be a great restriction for Jordan. They want to avoid this.

  

   But this is not suitable for the interests of moving companies such as Adi and Reebok. Jordan's benefit is not what they want to see. Only when Jordan and Zhao Dong are restricted together is what they need.

  

   So when they pushed the rules, not only did they fail to work together, but they also stood on the opposite side.

  

   This means that the alliance formed by Nike and Adidas against Zhao Dong has split.

  

   "Damn Adi!"

  

   Nike headquarters, Philip Knight is very helpless, but he knows that this is inevitable, Jordan must once again face the anti-isolated singles law.

  

   To promote this rule, Nike may be a helpless choice. What we can do now is to try our best to promote some provisions restricting Zhao Dong and some provisions to liberate Jordan.

  

   At three in the afternoon, Zhao Dong attended the signing ceremony with Hummer.

  

   Hummer has paid a lot of money this time. It has been signed for six years, a total of 280 million US dollars endorsement contract, which is paid in three years, and the amount of the first two years must be paid when the contract is signed.

  

   Hummer gave Zhao Dong three top off-road vehicles at one time, with military power configuration, top civilian decoration and shock absorption system, and the comfort level was greatly increased.

  

   On this day, the Alliance Headquarters is also in a meeting.

  

   Actually, since the end of the regular season, there have been constant meetings these days to discuss the restart and revision of the anti-isolated singles rule.

  

   But now, there is another issue, whether to abandon man-to-man defense and switch to zone defense.

  

   "The zone defense limits the offense very much. I don't think it will be time yet."

  

   "You can defend for three seconds, limit the paint zone defense, and weaken the negative effects of zone defense."

  

   "I think illegal defenses should be abolished and double-teaming people without the ball should be allowed."

  

   This meeting involved defense for three seconds and cancellation of illegal defense. This news was leaked when the meeting was suspended.

  

   When the meeting restarted, some media called Vice President Lanier Provost and asked whether the league really launched zone defense and defense for three seconds and canceled illegal defense.

   "Mr. President..."

  

   He immediately told Stern, the news was leaked.

  

"Humph!"

  

   Stern darkened his face with anger, and gave the people in the audience a fierce look.

  

   He knows that among these people, there must be people from all walks of life, and these guys are betraying the interests of the alliance.

  

   By the end of the meeting, the content of the meeting had been circulated by the interested people, and the league teams and many media knew about it.

  

   "This can't pass."

  

   The sweat on the forehead of Lakers general manager Jerry West came out.

  

  Once zone defense and defense are implemented for three seconds, especially if double-teamers are allowed, how can O'Neal hit the basket? It may be difficult to catch the ball.

  

   In this way, it is not to restrict Zhao Dong, but to restrict O'Neal.

  

   Then, the Lakers held a press conference to publicly oppose zone defense and defense for three seconds, and cancel the illegal defense rules. West said to many media:

  

   "Once the joint defense is implemented, the attacking area will be greatly compressed, resulting in no smooth game, and we will not see the breakthrough attack of outside stars..."

  

   However, the Lakers only represent the interests of the Lakers, and other teams don't think so.

  

   For example, the Pacers strongly agree with the implementation of these three rules.

  

   Larry Bird believes that the Pacers do not have superstars, whether it is anti-isolation singles rules, or zone defenses, or defending for three seconds and allowing doubles without the ball, there is no harm to the Pacers, and he fully agrees with the implementation of these rules.

  

   Facing the media, he said: "The alliance should keep pace with the times. We have made joint defense illegal for decades, and it's time to change it.

  

   In addition, we have three seconds of offense and three seconds of no defense. We have to change this to make offense and defense more balanced. "

  

   Like him, many teams have begun to express their opinions, each with their own considerations.

  

   There are superstars, but they don’t agree with zone defense, and there are no superstars, so agree.

  

   For the defense for three seconds, the defensive team opposes and the offensive team supports.

  

   For example, the Knicks, in addition to opposing the resumption of the anti-isolated singles rule, are now also opposed to zone defense, and they are also opposed to defense for three seconds.

  

   The Knicks are now strong inside defense, the league's top level, once the defense is implemented for three seconds, it is definitely a big injury.

  

   Companies such as Nike and Adidas are feeling a little bad now. They have promoted the restart of the anti-isolation singles law, but now they are unable to control the development of the situation.

  

   On the 30th, after a meeting in the afternoon, Stern ordered to work overtime at night and continue the meeting.

  

   At the same time, he also began to solicit the opinions of each team, trying to balance the interests of each team.

  

   That night, the Heat eliminated the Hawks with a big score of 3-1 and reached the second round. It will face the Knicks in the second round. The Knicks have home court advantage.

  

   On May 1, a media reporter interviewed Jordan.

  

   "Michael, now we have the information, it is almost certain that the league will introduce an anti-isolated singles law, what's your opinion on this?" the reporter asked.

  

   Jordan said: "That means that a superstar will encounter true extreme defense on the offensive end, instead of the quasi-limit defense of last season, his efficiency will decline, that’s for sure."

  

   "Do you mean the New York Flying Dragon by you?" the reporter asked.

  

   "Yes, that's the Chinese flying dragon." Jordan replied without evading.

  

   "How much do you think it will affect him?" another reporter asked.

  

"The implementation of this law will allow him to face faster defense. He is famous for his ability to get rid of defenders. Last season, he showed the league's strongest ability to get rid of. This is the most important thing for his high efficiency. Reason. But once this rule is implemented, his ability will be limited, thereby reducing his high efficiency." Jordan said.

  

   "So, do you support or not support the restart of the rules?" the reporter asked.

  

   Jordan pondered for a while, nodded and said: "I have enjoyed that kind of rule, and now I want to enjoy that kind of rule again."

  

"enjoy?"

  

   "Yes, it is enjoyment, a unique and supreme enjoyment." Jordan said very proudly.

  

   "So how about zone defense and defense for three seconds, do you support or oppose it?" another reporter asked.

  

   "I played zone defense in the Olympics, I can adapt to that kind of rules, so my attitude doesn't matter. As for the defense for three seconds, that is to limit the inside defense. As an outside player, of course I choose to support it." Jordan said.

  

  New York, Zhao Dong’s home, also received joint interviews from several media.

  

   A reporter from The Times, a reporter from the New York Sports News, the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Post, and the Chicago Daily News.

  

   Except for the New York Sports News, which is a professional sports newspaper, the other media are the largest comprehensive media in the United States, and they are the most influential media in the United States and the world.

  

   This shows that Zhao Dong's current influence has completely gone out of the circle and has become a world-class sports superstar.

  

   Of course, he was only slightly injured by the shooting, and he got the nickname of Iron Man, which is an important reason for his soaring influence.

  

   "Flying Dragon, what is your attitude towards the anti-isolation law?" The New York Times reporter asked.

  

   "Welcome." Zhao Dongdao.

  

"what?"

  

   All the reporters were surprised.

  

"why?"

  

   Surprised, the Times reporter asked.

  

   Zhao Dong smiled and said: "To formulate specific rules to restrict me, I think this is a reward for me by the alliance, a kind of crowning, it can make me unique to everyone, just like Jordan back then."

  

   "The only one?" the reporter asked.

  

   "Isn't it?" Zhao Dong smiled.

  

   "There is no doubt." The reporter nodded.

  

   Then the Washington Post reporter asked: "So what is your attitude towards zone defense and defense for three seconds?"

  

   Zhao Dong smiled and said: "The zone defense can continue to increase the restrictions on me after the anti-isolation singles rule. My attitude is still welcome. I am not afraid of facing a stronger defense.

  

   While defending for three seconds, what should be worried about is a guy like O'Neal. I may appear in the low post, but that is not my main position. "

  

The Chicago Daily News reporter asked the third question. He asked: "Flying Dragon, as we all know, your back-body skills are very lacking. Once you restart the anti-isolation singles rule and encounter true extreme defense, you don’t have Jordan’s omnipotent offense. Scoring method, do you think your efficiency will drop drastically?"

  

   "The decline is certain, but are you so sure that I haven't practiced a back body this season?" Zhao Dong asked with a smile.

  

   "But you haven't used it." The reporter said.

  

   "Maybe it's just unnecessary, because my face-to-basket technique alone is enough to defeat my current opponent." Zhao Dong smiled.

  

   "Iron Man, can I call you that?" the Los Angeles Times reporter joked.

  

  "You are free~www.novelmt.com~ Zhao Dong smiled.

  

   "So Iron Man, you healed your gunshot wound in less than ten days, how did you do it?" the reporter asked curiously.

  

   "My doctor said that my physique is superhuman. He said that he had met people who healed faster than mine before." Zhao Dongdao.

  

   "Oh, that means, your ability to resist injuries is super strong." The reporter was surprised.

  

   "Yes." Zhao Dong nodded.

  

   "Have you practiced Kung Fu? The kind of hard qigong that Jabbar said?" the reporter asked.

  

   When asked about this, Zhao Dong blew the cowhide and said with a grin: "Of course I have practiced. I have practiced iron cloth shirts and Thirteen Taibao horizontal training. This makes my ability to resist and fight super strong..."

  

   "So the last time you punched the postman, he was beaten to the head by you and rested for a few months, but you did nothing? This kind of hard qigong is amazing!" The reporter said excitedly.

  

   "Idiots will do something with me." Zhao Dong laughed.

  

   "Then Michael Tyson, I heard that he had an appointment with you, and you agreed?" the reporter asked.

  

   "Yes." Zhao Dongdao.

  

   "Are you confident to make Tyson an idiot? Has your business entered the process?" the reporter asked again.

  

   "Not yet, let's talk about it after the playoffs." Zhao Dongdao.
