Chapter 380: Shark, you are not strong enough, you need to gain weight

Barkley smiled and said: "Flying Dragon made 8 of 10 shots, 4 of 4 free throws, 20 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 1 block and 1 foul in a single quarter. The efficiency is amazing. The Lakers' defense against him can be said to be a complete failure."

Smith shook his head and exclaimed: "Since the dragons were fully fired in the playoffs, the Knicks' scoring ability has clearly gone up to a level compared to the regular season, and 30 points in a single quarter have become commonplace."

Barkley suddenly said solemnly: "In order to increase the suspense of the Finals, I think the Lakers must find a way to limit the efficiency of the Dragons, while increasing O'Neal's shots, otherwise this series will have no suspense, will affect our ratings."

Smith laughed and asked: "So Charles, judging from the performance in the first quarter, the Lakers don't seem to be the Knicks' opponent, what do you think?"

Shaking his head, Barkley said: "O'Neal is the key. His scoring ability has not exploded. How to deliver the ball to his hands is a problem that Phil Jackson must find a way to solve. Once O'Neal is at the basket. With the ball, neither of the two flying dragons can stop him from scoring."

"The attack is unstoppable, unstoppable!"

On the CCTV live broadcast, Zhang Liyi summed up Zhao Dong's performance in the first quarter.

Su Qun said excitedly: "We always say that Ben Wallace's defense is very strong, but under the attack of the dragon, we seem to be unable to see his defensive effect."

Zhang Fangyi laughed and said: "This is because Zhao Dong's offensive firepower is too strong, and it is not something that can be prevented at all.

Zhao Dong played Big Ben, and didn't give him a chance to defend. He pulled it out and then rushed in. Using the faster mobility and speed of several grades, the defense of Big Ben was useless.

The second reason is that Daben’s defense is stronger than the assist defense. His single defense is worse, especially because he can’t cope with the large-scale inside line and the technical inside line. Zhao Dong is the best inside line. At the same time It's still an insider with a burst of physical fitness.

The third is that Zhao Dong is too familiar with Big Ben. He hits the Big Ben as a dimensionality reduction blow, so it is not surprising that the Big Ben is blown up. "

On the sidelines, Lakers general manager Jerry West felt a little heavy.

He signed Ben Wallace with a big contract and strengthened the Lakers' inside line. This trade really allowed the Lakers to play very well in the regular season. Big Ben put the pressure on the defensive end for O'Neal and saved the Sharks a lot. Physical fitness.

However, now he realized that when he encountered the Knicks, Ben Wallace was not very useful, and even became a drag on the offensive end of the Lakers, allowing the Knicks to double-team O'Neal without the ball.

On the bench, Phil Jackson was also having trouble with Ben Wallace.

Now that O'Neal enters the basket to play, he cannot avoid the consequences of being double-teamed at the basket, because Ben Wallace has no ability to pull out and cannot take Zhao Dong away.

His mind was spinning quickly, and he needed to decide whether to continue to let Ben Wallace and O'Neal cooperate or replace him.

In the second quarter, Zhao Dong and Kobe continued to lead their respective bench lineups, and Big Ben continued to be on the court.

In the third minute, 24:40, the Knicks led by 16 points.

Phil Jackson shook his head. He saw that Big Ben could not prevent Zhao Dong, so he could only make a decision to replace Big Ben.

Anyway, it can't be prevented, it's better to let an inside line that can be pulled away to take away an inside line of the Knicks.

As for whether the inside line is Zhao Dong or not, it does not matter, as long as it is solved that O'Neal is double-teamed without the ball at the basket, anyway, even if Zhao Dong defends O'Neal, it is only the result of being blown up.

The Lakers attacked, he called a timeout, and then switched to the main lineup, but the big game was down and replaced by backup power forward Robert Horry.

He had only one offensive task for Horry, pulling out and taking away one of the Knicks' insides.

However, he has some concerns. Horry's three-pointers have not been very good this season. He shot 30.9% in the regular season and entered the playoffs even worse, with only 28.8%.

But he still believes in Horry, Horry's psychological quality is excellent, and he can be trusted at critical times.

O'Neal is back on the court, with Horry around him, he feels that his spring is coming, and when he arrives in the frontcourt, he rushes to the basket ambitiously.

And Horry, pulled directly to the bottom left corner, like a poisonous snake, lying in ambush there waiting for the opportunity.

When Zhao Dong saw it, he had no choice but to defend the Lakers' strongest point, O'Neal, and let Gary Trent, who was on the bench, go with Horry.

There is no way to double-team without the ball, and Zhao Dong can't hold O'Neal, so he can only defend around the front.

But immediately, he was kicked by O'Neal, and the ball dropped to the basket.

"boom!"

After catching dunks in the air, O'Neal screamed excitedly while hanging from the hoop.

Barkley shook his head and said: "Whether it is tonnage or height, the flying dragon is considered an absolute small man in front of the big sharks. Once the shark enters the basket, the flying dragon can't guard against it and must double-team.

Now that Horila goes out, in fact, Gary Trent can't keep up. It's better to change into a faster small forward. "

Smith said: "Flying Dragon’s main job is to attack. He defends against the sharks alone at the basket, and he will definitely not defend with all his strength, because then he will be blown up by the sharks soon. Once the number of fouls rises, it won’t work. Maybe they will be beaten again."

Barkley nodded and said, "So now the Knicks are going to solve O'Neal's problem, put one?"

"Who is it?" Kenny Smith asked.

"Ron Harper?"

Barkley asked and answered his own question: "The point guard can't be easily released. He must limit his passing and breakthroughs. Kobe and Glen Rice can't be released either. They can only release Horry?"

"Look at old Nelson's choice." Smith said.

At this time, Zhao Dong was on the left wing, and Horry defended him alone.

Horry's defense is different from Big Ben. Big Ben relies on strength. He is somewhat similar to Pippen's defense, stalking, sticking to Zhao Dong and not letting go or even letting him catch the ball.

Zhao Dong's response was simple. He suddenly stepped back to ask for the ball. When Horry followed, he suddenly bypassed Horry and rushed to the paint area.

Horry tried to hold him, but he blocked it with an arm.

Although he can't hold O'Neal, one arm is enough to deal with Horry, who only has a tonnage of 100 kilograms.

"Snapped!"

At this time, the ball came down. After receiving the ball, he took a step forward, stopped a jump shot on the left line of the paint zone, and hit a ball on the head of Kobe who was defending.

O'Neal wanted to make up at the basket, and was afraid that Zhao Dong would come in, so he could only defend the basket and watched Zhao Dong make a move.

"The offensive end is okay. It's impossible for the Lakers to guard against the Wyvern. Phil Jackson has never done it in the past few seasons. Now what depends on the defensive end is whether the Knicks can defend O'Neal. If they can't prevent it. , Then you can only watch the mutual explosion between O'Neill and Flying Dragon." Barkley laughed.

Smith laughed: "If the Knicks dared to empty Horry, it would have to pay a great price. Horry does not have a defender in front of him, so his shots are still very accurate."

Barkley's words became a fact, and then the Knicks put Horry a few times, and Horry made two consecutive shots, so he didn't dare to put it again. Zhao Dong still defended O'Neal alone.

"No one can guard against each other, blast each other!"

Zhang Yangyi shook his head and said: "But O'Neal can hit 80% of the field goal percentage at the basket. Most of Zhao Dong's offense today is nearly two-point jumper, which is less than 80% of his field goal percentage."

At the end of halftime, at 48:57, the Lakers recovered some points. The Knicks relied on their original advantage and still maintained the lead.

After 9 minutes of the second quarter, O'Neal made 7 of 8 shots and 2 of 4 free throws. He scored 16 points. In addition to the first quarter, he made 10 of 12 shots at halftime, hitting 83.3% from the field and 3 of 7 free throws. He has already scored. Scored 23 points.

Zhao Dong's hand in the second quarter was not as good as the first quarter. He made 6 of 10 shots, 1 of 2 free throws, scored 13 points, 14 of 20 shots in the half, 70% of his field goals, 5 of 6 free throws, 33 points and 11 rebounds. 4 assists, 1 steal, 2 blocks, and 2 fouls.

The efficiency is still amazing, even surpassing the average level, but at halftime, O'Neal relied on the strong dominance of the basket to play a higher efficiency than him, which is also the reason why the score was caught up.

Barkley laughed and said: "In the battle for efficiency, O'Neal exploded with amazing dominance at the basket after not being double-teamed without the ball. He played amazing efficiency.

Feilong single-defense O'Neal was blown out because he was responsible for the main offensive task and was unable to do his best on the defensive end. For him who had committed two offenses, the team should not expect him to defend against O'Neal in the second half, as long as he fouled again. His defensive intensity will continue to decline. "

Smith said: "O'Neal did not receive a strong defense at the basket, then this will produce very bad results, his physical consumption will not be so large, his offensive efficiency will not be affected, if the Knicks can not solve the rim The trouble, the result of this game is really hard to say."

On the CCTV live broadcast booth, Zhang Yangyi analyzed: "As for O'Neill and Zhao Dong’s mutual explosion, this has long been a unified view. No one can guard against the big sharks under the basket, double-teaming is not good, and no one can. Defending against Zhao Dong, double-teaming won't work either.

But the Knicks can no longer allow O'Neal to enter the basket. The efficiency of the basket is too high and must be prevented from getting close to the basket.

In addition, although Zhao Dong scored 33 points in the half and had 6 free throws, he didn't have enough impact on the inside of the Lakers. He must strengthen the impact on the basket because O'Neal only fouled. "

Su Qun nodded and said: "Yes, Feilong seems to be closing up today. He rarely hits O'Neal directly, and basically all jumpers close to the basket."

In the home team's locker room, Old Nelson is discussing defensive tactics with O'Neal with Fan and Thibodeau.

Xiao Fan had been thinking about this issue for a long time, and said: "Tang, I suggest letting Marion go up and let him double-team O'Neill, his speed."

Old Nelson nodded thoughtfully and said: "Marion and Ginobili, plus Stackhouse and Wyvern, we can play faster offensive and defensive rhythms, and increase O'Neal's physical consumption."

Xiaofan said to Zhao Dong at this time: "Feilong, we must strengthen the top defense against O'Neal in the second half, and can't let him enter the basket."

Zhao Dong nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't give the fat man so many opportunities."

After halftime, the Lakers attacked.

The Knicks are Zhao Dong, Rogers, Marion, Stackhouse, Ginobili, and the Lakers are O'Neal, Horry, Glen Rice, Kobe, and Ron Harper.

Barkley exclaimed: "The Knicks completely gave up the inside height. The highest on the court is the Flying Dragon, 205 cm. Is this going to be a fast break?"

Smith said: "In addition to the power forward position, the Lakers are on the starting lineup."

At the beginning of the game, Horry pulled to the bottom left corner again, Rogers followed, and Marion from the left wing against Glen Rice took two steps, staring up at the top and O'Neal at the bottom.

O'Neal wanted to get into the basket again. In the first half, every time he got into the basket, he was barrier-free. This time he thought it was, but no. Zhao Dong was in front of him and prevented him from getting in.

"Get out of the way, little dwarf!"

He let out a deep cry, the power exploded, and the tonnage was added, and Zhao Dong in front of him retreated.

But Zhao Dong took a step back, stood still, and started to defend again, and this made O'Neal a headache, because there was an offensive for three seconds, he couldn't stay in it forever.

Sure enough, after he took Zhao Dongding a step back again, three seconds was almost the same. At this time, the ball came in. He was still two meters away from the basket. Zhao Dong was in front of him again. There was no time, so he had to hurry. Here comes a small throw.

"boom!"

Under Zhao Dong's defense, the ball missed.

"Yes, just playing like this, O'Neill's efficiency is not high." Zhang Liangyi said excitedly.

Zhao Dong turned around and grabbed the backcourt rebound. After using his elbow to scare away the Sharks, he quickly passed the ball because the other four teammates were almost down.

"boom!"

Kobe returned to defense with all his strength, but the Knicks took advantage of the number of players. Stackhouse cut into the basket, received a pass from Ginobili, and dunked.

Zhang Lifang went on to analyze: "O'Neal is no better than Zhao Dong. Zhao Dong's offense is too strong to prevent. Once O'Neal leaves the basket, his offensive firepower is only average. Just carry him twice and consume a little offensive time. Preventing him from getting close to the basket can limit his offensive efficiency, and this ball is easy to play."

At this time, O'Neal entered the frontcourt, ran to the basket, and was blocked by Zhao Dong again.

"Fatty man, you don't have enough strength, you must continue to gain weight! More fat can make you stronger." Zhao Dong, who had been taken a step back, posted it up again, provoking with trash talking.

"Little dwarf, I want to crush you."

O'Neill panted, and pushed forward again.

He is very flexible, but that is only relative to the inside. Now that Zhao Dong is so dead, it is difficult to get around. Zhao Dong's flexibility is a few grades higher than him. If he wants to enter the basket, he can only die, and his physical energy consumption has increased.

O'Neal withdrew Zhao Dong twice in a row, reflexively stuck Zhao Dong outside the reasonable collision zone, and began to ask for the ball.

The reason why I didn't continue to squeeze to the basket in this position was because there was no time.

After Harper passed Ginobili, he passed the ball in in time.

Once O'Neal caught the ball, his left hand carried Zhao Dong behind him, and his right hand came with a small hook close to the basket.

At this close distance to the rim, his small hook shot rate is still quite high, and he is 60% sure.

But just as he shot, Marion rushed down, and the flying body was a cap, capping him from behind.

"Pretty! Sean Marion is wearing a big shark with a cap..." The on-site commentator roared excitedly.

The ball was not dead yet, Kobe rushed in just to grab the ball and jumped up in front of Zhao Dong.

Zhao Dong violently blocked shots and was evaded by Kobe, but Kobe didn't make a shot and was snatched by O'Neal.

O'Neal, who had just eaten a cap, exhaled, rushed forward, holding the ball in both hands, and slammed into the basket frantically.

If this ball is scored by him, the rebound may be smashed.

"Special!"

It was time to see the true chapter in the second half. Zhao Dong's defense became strong, and he burst into flames instantly, blocking his hands in front of the basket.

Boom, under O'Neill's huge impact, he flew in response.

"boom!"

The next moment, in the exclamation of the audience, O'Neal sank the Knicks' basket.

However, the ball in his hands was gone, and the empty basket was smashed.

"Pretty! Flying Dragon blocked O'Neal, he and Marion continued to cap O'Neal..." the on-site commentator roared excitedly.

"Damn it!"

The eyes of O'Neal, who swallowed another big hat, were about to bleed. This kind of big hat under the basket is an absolute humiliation for him like a giant under the basket.

The ball was not dead yet and was picked up by Marion, and the Knicks immediately counterattacked defensively.

Zhao Dong fell to the floor, then quickly got up and rushed to the frontcourt.

Ginobili rushed in with the ball and rushed to the basket. He already saw Kobe chasing behind him, so he pulled to the left and gave the follow-up Stackhouse.

Stackhouse received the ball and passed the fake shot to Zhao Dong, who followed.

Zhao Dong rushed through the top of the arc, caught the ball into the paint zone, and flew towards the hoop and Kobe under the basket.

"Sheet!"

Kobe didn't dare to stand under the basket, so he could only flash to the side quickly.

"boom!"

With one-armed tomahawk dunk, Zhao Dong scored a goal.

He didn't smash the dunk hard, because he didn't want to smash the rebound, and he gave O'Neal time to rest.

"This time the defense is really good. The Knicks are really moving on the defensive end. Now the Lakers can't defend Zhao Dong, and the Knicks only need to limit O'Neal's efficiency, and this ball is easy to play."

Zhang Liangyi praised.

Su Qun laughed and said: "O'Neal failed to finish offensively, 48:61. The Knicks are now 13 points ahead."

Next ~www.readwn.com~ O'Neill started to fish, he must take a sigh of relief.

After Glen Rice made a goal, the Knicks attacked.

Zhao Dong ran without the ball on the left wing, and after shaking off Horry, he began to cut into the paint zone.

For the first cut, Ginobili, who was holding the ball, under Harper’s defense, failed to pass the ball in. He cut in and pulled it out. After a round, he dropped Horry again, and then started to cut inside again. .

This time, the ball came in, and after receiving the ball, he killed O'Neal.

Kobe made up the defense and took a slower time. Zhao Dong rushed over and flew to face O'Neal.

Seeing Zhao Dong rushing over, O'Neill's eyes were red.

In the last regular season, he was hit by Zhao Dong twice in a game. Zhao Dong’s impact was too strong and he jumped higher than him. He dived from top to bottom. If he was dead, he could only be knocked away. , And even been knocked into flight.

But this is the finals. He wants to win the championship and FMVP. He doesn't want to back down.
