NBA Dynasty Sniper

The Knicks attacked.

Zhao Dong no longer holds the ball, he went to the left wing, three meters away from the paint zone, below the dotted line of the free throw line, and Big Ben matched up.

Stackhouse, who was in possession of the ball, passed the ball in. Zhao Dong received the ball and suddenly took a step back.

Big Ben hurried to keep up, but at this moment, when the rider was moving, Zhao Dong turned around, rushed over, and slammed into the paint zone with the ball.

At this time, the Lakers also started to make up the defense quickly, and Kobe, the hardest defensive player, took the lead in laying a second line of defense before Zhao Dong.

Ginobili was emptied. He moved from the top of the arc to the left wing while looking at Zhao Dong, ready to receive the ball.

But Zhao Dong didn't pass it, just a Kobe, can he be guarded near the paint area? He must have come by himself in this position, it is impossible to give Ginobili on the three-point line.

"squeak!"

Taking a step outside the left line in the paint zone, Zhao Dong stopped quickly.

Zhao Dong’s stop jumper technique is nowhere in the league. It is better than Jordan in this technique. Kobe is already mentally prepared to block the shot. The moment Zhao Dong took off, he jumped up.

However, when Kobe reached out to block, Zhao Dong lay back in the air, avoiding the former's block, and then the basketball flew over Kobe's palm and slid to the basket.

"Huh!"

Splashes came and made a two-pointer.

"Yeah!"

Everyone in Madison Square Garden was staring at the ball, and the moment the ball was scored, they raised their arms and cheered.

"It doesn't feel too bad."

Zhao Dong smiled, and while returning to defend, he shouted to Kobe who was following up: "Boy, come and help me defend me, even you will blow it up."

"Afraid of you?"

Kobe spoke stiffly with his neck.

The Lakers offense, O'Neal is not ready to play this ball, only to make an offensive appearance in the paint, as an offensive screen for his teammates.

Because Zhao Dong's efficiency is too high, O'Neal's offense under the basket is the key, and the offense under the basket symbolizes a more terrifying physical consumption.

Phil Jackson has a plan. O'Neal's physical fitness is the key to winning. He must maintain the rhythm of the game to give him a chance to breathe.

At the top of the arc, Ron Harper was not eager to attack, giving O'Neal enough time to breathe.

After spending two seconds in the paint, O'Neal left, and Big Ben's three seconds arrived and left, and there was a short space under the basket.

At this moment, Kobe ran without the ball and quickly cut into the basket along the baseline.

And Ron Harper's pass was just right, he passed the ball in from the gap and was received by Kobe.

Zhao Dong immediately returned to the defending basket.

Kobe catches the ball and slams into the air, holding the ball to the basket in both hands.

At this time, Zhao Dong jumped up and sealed the cover with his right hand.

But Kobe received it immediately, and after passing Zhao Dong's block, he slid in front of the latter and under the rim, and when he turned around, he was about to buckle Zhao Dong's head.

Kobe's ability to stay in the air is extremely good, and his flexibility is also top-notch. He has the confidence to make this offense.

"Snapped!"

However, Kobe estimated one thing wrong, that is, Zhao Dong's ability to stay in the air was more terrifying than him. When he kicked back, Zhao Dong was still on his head, stretched out his left hand, and slapped his dunk to stop.

After Deng Deng Deng, Kobe landed, took three steps back, and then sat down on the floor.

The ball in his hand also fell to the floor, and then was snatched by Zhao Dong.

The Knicks took the opportunity to counterattack, Ginobili and Stackhouse quickly went down, but the Lakers could not defend themselves, and Ginobili finally hit a layup.

2:4, the Lakers offense.

Shaquille O'Neal must go deep.

But this time he didn't need to exert his strength, Willis walked around and let him enter the basket.

At this time, the weakness of Daben was exposed.

Because he couldn't pull away, he could only stay at the basket, so that Zhao Dong was also at the basket, and together with Willis, formed a double-team against O'Neal.

Willis also has 213 cm. O'Neal, 216 cm, has no height advantage at the basket.

But Willis is a Tyrannosaurus rex, born with short hands, with a wingspan of only 208 cm, while O'Neal has a wingspan of 228 cm. So counting his wingspan, O'Neal still has a height advantage of more than 20 cm in the basket.

If you add bounce, O'Neal will have a higher advantage at the basket.

Ron Harper understood this of course and immediately dropped the ball in.

In order to ensure that the ball is not intercepted by Willis, the ball hangs quite high, and O'Neal must take off to receive the ball.

But as long as he receives the ball, O'Neal can dunk directly and complete an empty catch.

At the rim, O'Neal and Willis took off at the same time after the ball came in.

"mine!"

Zhao Dong let out a deep cry in his heart, took off with all his strength, and pointed his right hand to the basketball that was sliding down.

As for Big Ben, he can only look up, he can't participate in this ball.

"predict!"

The three took off at the same time, Zhao Dong and O'Neal obviously exceeded the front Willis, the hands of the two touched the ball almost at the same time, the ball was touched.

In the next moment, the three of them landed and got up again.

And this time, Zhao Dong risked O'Neal, and Willis didn't keep up with the rhythm at all.

"I want to lose weight!"

O'Neill yelled angrily in his heart.

His tonnage hindered his jumping. Not only was he not high enough, but he didn't have enough continuous take-off speed. He didn't keep up with Zhao Dong's rhythm for the second take-off.

"Snapped!"

Zhao Dong grabbed the basketball and was immediately blocked by Big Ben. Then O'Neal also rushed over. He immediately protected the ball with both hands and moved his feet. With his sideways, his elbows relentlessly swung around, Big Ben and O'Neal. Respectively moved in their chests, groaning and retreating.

"Boss."

Ginobili came to take it, and after Zhao Dong passed the ball, the Knicks began to counterattack.

O'Neal desperately returned to defense, but he and Daben were both thrown off by Zhao Dong.

But it was Willis who fell in the end, the veteran couldn't run.

Ginobili and Stackhouse advanced left and right. Rogers followed Ginobili, followed by Zhao Dong in the middle. The four formed a time-out four-on-three opportunity in the frontcourt.

Zhao Dong strode across the top of the arc, and the Lakers small forward Glenn Leishe didn't dare to come to block, watching him rush into the paint zone, and then received a pass from Ginobili.

"Oh!"

With a bang, with Zhao Dong's flying dunk, the Lakers' basket was blown up, and the audience was boiling.

2:6, the Knicks lead at home, the Lakers offense.

After seeing O'Neal enter the basket, Kobe made a false shot on the right-wing three-point line. After shaking Ginobili, he smashed into the wing and stopped a jump shot after two steps.

This ball, even if it is missed, has the height of O'Neal at the rim and has a big base. The Lakers' rebounding advantage is not weaker than that of the defensive Knicks, so Kobe shot quite resolutely.

Because the rebounding ability is not weaker than the Knicks, using outside shots to open the Knicks' inside defense, this is also the requirement of Phil Jackson's outside offense.

"Huh!"

The more determined the shot, the higher the hit rate, and Kobe hit the first goal.

4:6, the Knicks attacked.

In the backcourt, Ginobili advanced with the ball and suddenly encountered Kobe's close press. After a mistake, the ball was cut by Kobe.

"boom!"

Kobe took the ball and drove into the basket, which was a tomahawk-style split to tie the score to six.

"Ginobili against Kobe is still a bit of a dish! The Knicks should reduce this kind of mistakes, pay attention to the protection of the ball and fast transfer." Zhang Gongyi said.

The Knicks attacked again. This time Stackhouse took possession of the ball and advanced to the front court under Ron Harper's harassment. The others began to move.

Zhao Dong took a low position on the left wing, and Daben immediately pushed behind him, using his powerful upper limbs to prevent him from entering the paint area.

"Snapped!"

The ball came in, as soon as Zhao Dong got the ball, Kobe's double-team came up.

He immediately slipped down, avoiding Kobe's hand, but Big Ben quickly stepped back and stood on the path where he slipped first.

However, in the next moment, Zhao Dong stopped abruptly at a half-step in the paint zone and shot a zero-degree jumper.

At this moment, he got rid of both the big Ben and the double-teamed Kobe.

"brush!"

The ball passed through the heart and hit nearly two points.

6:8, the Lakers offense.

"call!"

Zhao Dong let out a sigh of relief. It seems that the feel is not too bad today. He made two consecutive shots from close range and mid-range.

But looking back, Kobe once again rushed to the rookie Ginobili and stopped a jumper.

"boom!"

This time he failed to make a hit. The four inside lines of the two teams squeezed into the basket to grab rebounds. Zhao Dong was the first to get stuck under the pre-judgment to protect the backcourt rebound.

Daben played with Zhao Dong for two years and knew him too well. He blocked Zhao Dong for the first time and prevented him from playing fast. At the same time, he also prevented him from passing fast, so that the Knicks' defensive counterattack failed to come out.

In the Knicks frontcourt, Zhao Dong went directly to the basket this time. After pulling O'Neal and Big Ben to the basket, he suddenly withdrew.

At this time, Stackhouse, who was holding the ball on the left-wing three-point line, saw the opportunity and pushed the ball with one hand.

Zhao Dong catches the ball, and the big Ben who has followed is a step behind him.

He suddenly turned around and made a bottom-sliding motion, immediately making Big Ben an emergency stop, and then the next moment, he jumped up, threw the ball to the backboard with one hand, and with a bang, the basketball hit the board into the hoop.

"Pretty, using repeated running letters, Zhao Dong got rid of the defender, easily hit the board and hit a ball." Zhang Liliang praised.

"6:10, now the dragon is 4 of 5 shots, scored 8 points, the Knicks rely on his high efficiency to lead by 4 points." Su Qun laughed.

On the sidelines, Phil Jackson was scratching his head.

He played three consecutive Eastern Conference finals with the Bulls and the Knicks and lost three times. This time he didn't want to lose again.

However, whether in the Bulls or the Lakers, he can't prevent Zhao Dong's offense. This is what makes him dying of headaches.

"Efficiency, the **** of efficiency!"

He stared at Zhao Dong, muttering in his mouth.

After leaving Oakley and Big Ben last season, the Knicks lost their rebounding advantage. This season they hurt Fordson. In fact, the Knicks are at a disadvantage in rebounding against the Lakers. He knows this well. , So he asked Kobe to wait outside and shoot boldly because the Lakers have the advantage of rebounding.

However, the rebounding advantage has not yet been reflected, and Zhao Dong's efficiency advantage has begun to be reflected.

After serving, he called a timeout and rearranged his tactics to allow the outside line to strengthen the flanking offense, attract Zhao Dong's defense, and create opportunities for O'Neal at the basket.

After the timeout, the Lakers attacked. Kobe launched a flanking attack on the left wing. He made a jumper and made a foul by Ginobili. He played a morale-boosting two-plus-one.

"Huh!"

An additional penalty hit, 9:10, and the Lakers were only 1 point behind.

Looking back, Stackhouse missed a goal and the Lakers attacked.

Onik entered the key position at the basket, Willis still walked around and let him into the basket, while Zhao Dong double-teamed on the side without the ball, regardless of the big money.

A goal was just cut off. This time Harper didn't dare to pass in easily and gave it to Kobe.

Kobe made a false shot and threw a three-pointer on the right wing, but missed. After the ball rebounded, it was caught by Zhao Dong who was the first to get stuck.

"Ben Wallace's rebounding is good, but it's a long way from Fordson, and Fordson grew up after learning the rebounding technique from Feilong."

Barkley smiled.

Smith was a little surprised and said: "You mean that the flying dragon's rebounding skills are better than Fordson? You know that before Fordson is injured, he has begun to approach Rodman's level."

Barkley smiled and said: "Is it surprising that the flying dragon has stronger rebounds than Fordson? No, but his main function is offensive, so there is no way to put more energy into rebounds.

In fact, in addition to rebounds, his organizational ability is also the league's top, also because of the offensive investment, and ignore the organizational function. "

Smith nodded and said, "It's true. Compared with Magician, Flying Dragon has an offensive ability that surpasses other abilities."

Barkley smiled: "So it seems that the Lakers have stronger rebounding ability, but once the dragon takes it seriously and invests more in rebounds, this advantage of the Lakers is gone."

Coming to the frontcourt, Zhao Dong entered the left wing, below the dotted line of the free throw line, leaning on the big Ben for the ball, and Glen Leis, defending Rogers, was one step above him.

Stackhouse, who held the ball, gave the ball to Rogers at a 45-degree angle from the left-wing three-point line. Rogers hung it to Zhao Dong below, and then immediately ran to the bottom left corner.

When Rogers passed the ball, Glen Leis, who was defending him, suddenly turned around and pounced on Zhao Dong, implementing a double-team.

As soon as Zhao Dong got the ball, he immediately encountered a double-team, but he immediately turned and slipped to the bottom, and was blocked by the quick retreat.

However, with only a bang, a pass from the back, his ball went to the bottom left corner.

Rogers sank to the bottom left corner, caught the ball and took off. Glenleth, who returned to defense, had average defensive skills, and it was too late to return to defense.

"Huh!"

Splashes appeared, and a three-pointer hit.

"It's beautiful, the flying dragon completely attracted the defensive attention. Rogers made an open three-pointer in the left corner."

Barkley exclaimed excitedly.

Zhao Dong saw that Rogers felt good, and he made several shots for him in the next time.

Rogers did what he expected. He made three more shots and hit one again. A total of four shots were made. 50% of his field goal percentages were very good, which was equivalent to more than 70% of two-pointers.

In the 10th minute, at 18:25, the Lakers fell behind by 7 points, and Phil Jackson called a timeout.

Because the Knicks did not have a strong center inside, O'Neal focused on the basket today, and he was all in the basket for the first ten minutes. However, under the Knicks’ off-ball double-teaming tactics, he only received 4 goals and made 3 of 4 shots. In, 1 of 3 free throws, scored 7 points.

This score is actually okay, 75% shooting rate, very efficient, but facing the Knicks, this performance is not enough, playing too little, no matter how high the efficiency is.

On CCTV’s live broadcast booth, Zhang Yangyi analyzed: “Now it’s time to change the bench. Although O'Neal doesn’t play much, he always faces the double double team of Zhao Dong and Willis at the basket, and his physical energy consumption is still very large. .

Today, the Knicks' off-ball double-teaming against O'Neal is quite successful. Specifically, it has two effects.

On the one hand, when O'Neal entered the basket, all four insiders on both sides squeezed into the basket, which left no room for outside breakthroughs.

For example, Kobe, he rarely rushes to the basket, most of the offense is in the emergency stop jumper outside the paint.

On the whole, the Knicks double-teamed through the basket, which not only restricted O'Neal from receiving the ball, but also restricted the Lakers' outside efficiency.

In the second aspect, the Knicks, on the other hand, did not have many offenses from the basket, but Zhao Dong's nearly two-pointer efficiency at the edge of the paint was very high. Today, he made 5 of 7 shots in the first quarter and made 2 of 2 free throws. With 12 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, the efficiency is quite high.

So through the double-teaming tactics at the basket, the Knicks got the advantage. "

Su Qun laughed and said: "The Lakers have O'Neal as a giant under the basket, and because the Knicks can't hold O'Neal inside, they chose to let him play more in the basket today. I don't know if this is also a pros and cons. The inside line is at the next stop at the basket, and there is no room for breakthroughs in the outside line."

Zhang Liliang nodded and laughed: "The Lakers can't make O'Neal the main goal of the basket. O'Neal's nearly two-point shooting percentage is less than 50%, more than 40%, not high enough, and the overall shooting percentage is not high enough. Sixty percent, this is no way to compete with Zhao Dong. He must enter the basket and improve his shots in order to improve his offensive efficiency."

Su Qun laughed and said: "Then it depends on how coach Phil Jackson adjusts, not only to improve O'Neal's efficiency, but also to prevent him from being double-teamed without the ball, otherwise it will be useless to not catch the ball at the basket. "

After the timeout, the two sides were on the bench, and the Sharks sat on the bench somewhat depressed.

The Lakers and Knicks' bench lineups are average, bad or bad, and it depends on the main players.

For the Lakers, Kobe takes the bench, plus the big Ben, and the Knicks are Zhao Dong and Ginobili.

Two minutes later, there were no big sharks inside. Zhao Dong frequently attacked the basket. The Lakers could not stop with a big book. He even scored 8 points in a row and made three of three shots within two minutes. And hit the big two two plus one.

At the end of the first quarter, at 22:34, the Knicks led by 12 points.
