NBA Dynasty Sniper

Chapter 376: Please, give me 1 point of defensive pressure

On the same night, the Blazers defeated the Suns and got the match point.

After a day off, on the 17th, the second team fought again. In the end, the Bulls eliminated the Pacers 4-2 and entered the Eastern Conference Finals, while the Blazers eliminated the Suns and entered the Western Conference Finals.

The Eastern Conference finals, the Knicks vs. Bulls, will start on May 19.

In the Western Conference Finals, the Lakers vs. Trail Blazers started on the 20th.

"Nima, how many times have you played against the Bulls?"

Zhao Dong has forgotten the number of times, and he has played too much with the Bulls, and he complained: "Jordan has retired, is the Bulls lingering in the shadows?"

At 9 am on the 18th, the NBA officially announced a series of personal honors.

Zhao Dong won the regular season MVP for the third consecutive year, and this time he was elected by unanimous votes.

At noon that day, the Bulls arrived in New York.

Zhao Dong was also at the airport, sending Dazhi and his family to the plane.

Dazhi, like Da Yao, did not have time to stay to watch the Eastern Conference Finals and the finals. This year is the Olympic year. He has to go back to his country and take a rest, and then go to the national team to report.

At this time, Jordan also came to New York, and the Mavericks were eliminated. He came to see the Eastern Conference and was surrounded by the media in the parking lot.

"Michael, for the Knicks and Bulls, which team do you want to reach the Finals?"

"I just want to see a wonderful series like the second round of the Eastern Conference." Jordan is not a fool, avoiding this question.

"Do you think the Flying Dragon is the best scorer in league history?"

Jordan hesitated for a moment, but immediately nodded: "In this second round of the series, the flying dragon played an incredible performance. His offensive firepower and super high efficiency gave him the most terrifying scoring ability in history."

"Oh, is it Flying Dragon?"

At this time, a reporter found Zhao Dong, so Zhao Dong couldn't leave, and he accepted a media interview with Jordan.

"Feilong, once again confronted the Bulls in the Eastern Finals, what do you want to say the most?" a reporter asked.

"Damn it, why is the bull again?" Zhao Dong blurted out.

"Puff!"

Everyone present laughed, including Jordan also wryly smiling.

"Flying dragon, I don't want to ask how confident you are in defeating the Bulls. It must be 100%. I just want to know, do you think the Bulls have a chance to hinder the Knicks?" a reporter asked.

"I can only answer you this way, playing the bulls is easier than playing the numbers team." Zhao Dong thought for a while and said.

"Why?" the reporter asked in confusion.

"Because facing the Bulls, we have no disadvantage on the inside." Zhao Dong smiled.

Then he ended the interview and left with Jordan.

After the bull arrived at the hotel, he held a press conference at the request of the media.

Bulls owner Jerry Reinsdorf also came to New York with the team, along with general manager Jerry Klaus.

Last offseason, after Jordan retired, Phil Jackson resigned, the Bulls' general manager position was vacant, and Rainsdorf invited Jerry Klaus back.

In fact, he understands Klaus's ability very well. From the bull in the Bull Dynasty to the new bull, Klaus has laid the foundation.

But the only regret is that after Phil Jackson left and Klaus did not return, he temporarily hired Tim Floyd as the head coach. He wanted to make a transition, but he did not expect this new Bull to perform this season. Excellent, even reached the Eastern Finals.

Of course, there is Freud's ability to reflect this, but this interim head coach also showed a big weakness, that is, the ability to control the locker room is almost non-existent.

Had it not been for the veteran Oakley in the locker room to be the leader, the Bulls would have been fighting.

"Mr. Claus, has the Bull now established a new core?"

At the beginning of the conference, a reporter from the New York Sports News raised a question that made everyone on the Bulls unhappy.

Klaus is naturally an old fox, smiling and saying: "We don't have a new core, because our core has always been clear that the Bulls are dual-core play, and McGrady and Rashid Wallace are the core of our internal and external lines. "

"So according to the media, is the fighting in the Bulls locker room real?" the reporter asked.

"No, we have the best leader in the locker room. Charles Oakley is the league's most prestigious veteran. Our locker room is very stable under his management." Klaus smiled.

His words made McGrady and Rashid Wallace look at Oakley at the same time, and they both whispered in their hearts, the prestige of shit, if it weren't for the threat of his fist, who would listen to him?

"Charles, a colleague of mine interviewed Feilong at the airport just now. He said that playing the Bulls would not have any disadvantage for the Knicks' inside line. What do you think of his statement?" a reporter asked.

Oakley shrugged and said: "Flying dragon guy, unless he personally confronts me, I will teach his inside teammates a lesson."

"Charles, the Knicks lost their iron-blooded defense in the second round. Offense is greater than defense. What do you think of the Knicks' transformation?" a reporter asked.

Oak said in a regretful tone: "The old man is gone. It is inevitable that the team's style will change. I have no opinion."

"Oh, it's Flying Dragon and Jordan?"

"Why are they here?"

At this time, there was a burst of exclamation from behind.

Oakley stood up and saw that Zhao Dong and Jordan were indeed here.

Zhao Dong came to look for the bus, and Jordan specifically came to see the Bulls boss Reinsdorf, so after leaving the airport, he rushed here directly, just in time for the Bulls press conference.

"Is this guy here to smash the scene?"

Rashid Wallace was very upset and honest when seeing reporters going to interview Zhao Dong and Jordan.

McGrady didn't say anything. In front of Zhao Dong and Jordan, although he is now the most popular player for the Bulls, he is not qualified to make irresponsible remarks.

He only glanced at Rasheed Wallace, and murmured to himself. If you have an opinion, just say it louder. You can't hear this sound, right?

"Charles, let's go."

Zhao Dong casually answered two questions from the reporter and called Oakley away.

"You guy, our press conference is not over yet, you really messed up the scene." Oakley, who followed to leave, couldn't laugh or cry.

"Anyway, you are losing, do you still want to win?" Zhao Dong smiled.

"..."

Oakley was speechless.

At this time, the bus also came, and took Mobley with him, and the three followed Zhao Dong and left the conference hall.

Mobley had not followed Zhao Dong for a long time, but when they met, they still yelled one by one.

"Why, Catino, no one in the Bulls can be your boss?" Zhao Dong teased.

Mobley scratched the back of his head and said with a smile: "I think you will be my boss and I will have more face."

"Haha..." Zhao Dong laughed.

Oakley gave Mobley a thumbs up and joked: "Boy, don't tell, you will be very rich."

Zhao Dong laughed again and said to Mobley: "Okay, Cardino, let's go with me in the future, I will make you rich."

"Really?" Mobley jumped up excitedly.

"The bus, it's okay to hit the bulls." Zhao Dong said to the bus.

"Not bad." The bus smiled.

Oakley is old, averaging 28 minutes per game this season, and the rest of the time is the bus. With an average of 9 points and 5 rebounds per game, he is still qualified to play as a substitute.

Zhao Dong took three people to the beach in the afternoon, rented a small yacht, and the four of them went out to sea for a few hours before returning in the evening.

"Flying dragon, can't that boy Danny Fortson fight yet?" Oakley asked before parting.

"That guy is too bad luck, now he can barely fight, but his state has dropped by two grades, he can't jump, he can't run fast, his ability to resist is weak, and he doesn't dare to use his knees."

Shaking his head, Zhao Dong sighed.

Oakley also shook his head. A beast-like monster like Fordson loses its overwhelming athleticism, and its strength will directly dive into the water.

It's really bad luck. The contract has been badly injured for many years. It is bad luck than Larry Johnson. The latter was injured after signing a large contract of 100 million yuan. He can be sure that Fordson can't get the contract with the Knicks.

On the 19th, the Eastern Conference kicked off.

Bulls: Oakley, Rashid Wallace, Tracy McGrady, Mobley, Kidd.

Knicks: Zhao Dong, Willis, Rodney Rogers, Stackhouse, Ginobili.

On the TNT live broadcast booth, Barkley smiled and analyzed: "Feilong told the media yesterday that the Knicks have no disadvantage in the inside line against the Bulls. Then compare the starting inside line combinations of the two teams. From a defensive point of view, the Bulls have a stronger inside line and offensively. There is no doubt that the Knicks are stronger. In terms of the overall combination, it is true that the Knicks have no disadvantages, as the Flying Dragon said."

Smith laughed and said: "The two teams have one thing in common on the inside and both can be opened up, so today the two teams will have a lot of breakthroughs on the outside, and the tactics of sudden points will occupy an important proportion."

Barkley added: "On the whole, the Bulls' defensive strength can be said to be quite strong. From Oakley to Rashid Wallace, from T-mac to Kidd, the defensive skills are quite strong, Mobley Perimeter defense is also qualified.

Then for the Knicks, Rogers has a loophole in this point, the defense is average, and the other four points are also good.

In addition, let's not be confused by the Knicks and the digital team's second-round series, thinking that the Knicks completely lost the defense.

No, their defense is still there. It's just that Fordson is missing from the inside, and the defensive system will be overloaded when encountering a strong team.

The inside combination of Oakley and Rashid Wallace has limited offensive capabilities. I think the reason why the dragon said there is no disadvantage in the inside is also for this reason.

But I want to remind the flying dragon that whether it is T-mac or Mobley, you have a breakthrough. In addition to defending the Bulls' inside attack, you must also guard against the outside breakthrough. Your inside is still at a disadvantage on the defensive end. . "

"Then Charles, who do you think will win the Eastern Conference Finals?" Kenny Smith asked.

Barkley looked at his partner with a surprised look and said, "Do you still have to ask? The series averaged 50+ per game and the top scorer in history. Do you think Oakley and Rashid Wallace can guard against the Wyvern? No, no. No longer, they will be blasted into scum."

At this time, the player channel, the starter is ready to play.

Rasheed Wallace was very upset when he saw Zhao Dong, because Zhao Dong disturbed the Bulls' press conference yesterday.

His face couldn't hide the thoughts in his heart, he was upset with Zhao Dong, and his face was the same.

Zhao Dong didn’t know what Rasheed Wallace thought. He just went to pick up the bus yesterday. It was not his intention to interrupt the press conference. At this time, seeing the angry expression of Roaring Tianzun staring at him, he asked doubtfully: " What are you looking at?"

"What's up with you?" Rasheed Wallace muttered.

"You seem to disagree with me?" Zhao Dong asked again.

"Why should I convince you?" Rasheed Wallace said without losing ground.

Zhao Dong laughed twice, and said to Oakley: "With this temper, he still wants to fight for the boss?"

Oakley said helplessly: "Flying dragon, give me some face, don't make trouble."

"With you, I will definitely not mess around. I can only chop off 50+ on his head today." Zhao Dong said with a smile.

"Don't think about it!"

Rashid Wallace said angrily.

Oakley didn't bother to care, he thought it would be good to let Zhao Dong teach Rasheed Wallace a lesson.

"Flying Dragon! Flying Dragon..."

When Zhao Dong appeared, the audience cheered for him.

After Zhao Dong averaged 50+ per game in the second round of the series, his influence in New York has exploded, and the number of personal fans has skyrocketed. In the entire Madison Square Garden auditorium, at least 80% of fans wear his home jersey.

At eight o'clock exactly, the game began, Zhao Dong and Rashid Wallace jumped the ball.

The ball was thrown high, and Rasheed Wallace suffocated and jumped up as the basketball fell.

But unfortunately, Zhao Dong's bounce speed and bounce height were one shot faster than him, and he took the racket away before him.

"Knicks attack, Zhao Dong personally controls the ball?"

Seeing that Zhao Dong didn't enter the low post, but instead asked for the ball from the outside, Zhang Liyi immediately explained: "The Bulls' defense is man-to-man?"

As soon as his voice fell, Zhao Dong launched an attack.

All five of the Knicks were on the perimeter, including Willis. The Bulls were a man-to-man defensive tactic, so Oakley also followed. Rasheed Wallace faced Zhao Dong and no one was at the basket. Is empty.

As soon as Zhao Dong fell to the top of the arc, when Rasheed Wallace's defense came up, he suddenly started, and with a simple and quick trial step, he rushed to the latter in one step and killed him from the top of the arc.

The inside was empty, and it was a man-to-man defensive tactic. As soon as he got in, everyone in the Bulls could only stare outside.

"boom!"

A brutal flat dunk, Zhao Dong banged the Bulls' basket.

Zhang Liliang immediately exclaimed: "The Bulls can't beat man-to-man. There is no one in this league who can defend against Zhao Dong alone. They must defend through double-team defense, especially when there is no tall and strong inside line.

Although Oakley and Rashid Wallace are strong defensively, they are not in terms of tonnage and height. They can't prevent Zhao Dong. "

On the TNT live broadcast, Barkley also smiled and said: "If the Bulls continue to beat people and stare at them, Feilong is likely to hit 70+80+ today."

Smith laughed and said: "The Bulls hit man-to-man, it should be thought that their five starting defenses are good."

On the field, Zhao Dong turned back to Rasheed Wallace and said: "Are you just defending me? Why can't I see where your people are?"

Rashid Wallace flushed with anger and said angrily: "I will let you see me."

Looking back, the Knicks placed a two-one-two defense in the backcourt. Zhao Dong stood in the middle, with Willis and Rogers below, and Ginobili and Stackhouse above.

Kidd held the ball close to the top of the arc and immediately encountered a double-team by Ginobili and Stackhouse. He immediately gave the ball to Mobley on the right wing.

Mobley received the ball, Ginobili turned his head back and rushed over. He shook Ginobili with a false shot, shook Ginobili and made it to the three-point line with the ball. After one step in, facing Zhao Dong's defense, Immediately stop the jumper.

"boom!"

After two points missed, Willis went in and grabbed the rebound and handed it to Zhao Dong.

Zhao Dong did not initiate a fast break, and steadily advanced to the top of the arc.

Barkley yelled at this time: "The Bulls didn't hit man-to-man again this time. The last time it should be a test. This time it is a test. This time it is playing alliance. No, it is mixed defense. Rashid Wallace is staring at the flying dragon. The second and third zone defenses focused on defending the Knicks' low post offense."

Bang bang bang, Zhao Dong unhurriedly controlled the ball at the top of the arc. When the time reached 20 seconds, he suddenly started, took one step, and started to break through.

Rasheed Wallace reacted quickly and backed away.

But at this moment, Zhao Dong retracted in one step, then jumped up at the top of the arc, and when he reached the highest point, the ball flew to the basket.

"Huh!"

With splashes, Zhao Dong hit a hollow ball.

"A soulless shot, I hate this kind of ball. Please, give me a little defensive pressure, I still can't see you."

Zhao Dong looked disappointed and authentic.

"..."

Rasheed Wallace's face was red and bloody.

Looking back, Mobley was active on the right wing. Kidd looked at the right wing and pushed his hands to the right, but when the Knicks' defensive attention turned to the right, he closed his hands and the ball flew to the left wing.

Tracy McGrady was cutting in quickly, he had already got rid of Stackhouse, the moment he received the ball, he drove into the paint, and flew after one step.

His speed is too fast ~ www.readwn.com ~ Willis and Rogers on the low wings are too late to return to the defense.

At this moment, Zhao Dong, who was below the free throw line, turned to the next step, and then flew up with McGrady.

"what?"

McGrady was about to make a tomahawk dunk, but suddenly a big hand lifted him high and held down the basketball that was about to be hacked.

"Yeah!"

Seeing the basketball being drawn high in the sky, the audience cheered.

The ball was picked up by Rogers, who returned to the defense, and the Knicks turned to the offense.

"Can I see your defense this time?"

Zhao Dong held the ball at the top of the arc and asked in a negotiating tone.

"You are less arrogant!"

Rashid Wallace said in grief and indignation.
