Chapter 234 The Deformed Basket Stand
"squeak!"
Amidst the screeching sound of his sneakers, Zhao Dong twisted his feet, faced three double-teams, and suddenly turned around to carry the basket.
"Bang!"
The moment he turned around, he leaned against Mourning who was rushing towards him. With the help of his strength, he turned around again in an instant. With a flick of his foot, he immediately flew backwards. His whole body was at a forty-five degree angle and he was lying in the air with his hands. Hold the ball on top and prepare to shoot.
This action immediately got him out of the three-man double-team. Even Mashburn, who was catching up behind him, couldn't reach his ball.
"Turn around...?"
The on-site commentator shouted in surprise.
As soon as he opened his mouth, Zhao Dong shot the ball.
Instead of passing the ball, take the shot.
Even if he misses, Ben and Oakley are both under the basket, and the Heat only have one Luke Longley, and the offensive rebounds are guaranteed. This is the reason why he chose to take action.
"Uh-huh!"
The water splashed and hit two points.
"yeah!"
The whole crowd cheered.
"...facade jumper!"
Seeing the ball go in, the on-site commentator's surprised voice suddenly turned into a fierce tone, the volume suddenly increased, and he roared excitedly:
"A picturesque turnaround and fadeaway jumper. Jordan's turnaround fadeaway jumper was nothing more than that. Feilong's fadeaway angle was even worse than Michael Jordan's. He was almost lying flat in the air. No one could guard against such a jumper. ,nobody!"
"This, this is so surprising!"
In the TNT live broadcast booth, Bill Walton was speechless and said: "Didn't you say that Feilong's back-to-the-basket skill is not good? Is that why it's so bad?"
"Here he comes again,
He's here again, and inexplicably, he shows off a first-class, even top-notch offensive technique. He always does this, every once in a while..."
Matt shouted excitedly.
In the CCTV live broadcast, Zhang Lili laughed and said: "With this technology, you are no longer afraid of double teams. This is a magical skill to break double teams! Double double teams can be broken completely, and there is a great chance of multiple double teams." Crack.
In a game, even if Jordan's Law is implemented, the number of double-teams is limited. As long as he scores and assists a few goals in a three-person double team, who would dare to easily double team Zhao Dong? "
The next game was predicted by Zhang Liyi.
The Heat continued to double-team Zhao Dong, but neither the shots nor the passes in the double-team could really limit Zhao Dong's performance.
Of course, due to the acceleration of defense, Zhao Dong's shooting efficiency was still affected. He missed two shots and hit two.
However, in terms of rebounding, especially on the basis of multiple people double-teaming Zhao Dong, the Knicks had an absolute advantage. The two offensive rebounds he missed were both grabbed by Ben and Oakley.
After the first quarter, Zhao Dong played the entire first quarter, making 8 of 10 shots and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 20 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, 1 turnover and 1 foul.
At 15:30, the Knicks won by 15 points in a single quarter, which just doubled.
The Knicks' overall shooting percentage was as high as 53%, while the Heat only had 43%. At the same time, the Knicks' rebounds were as high as 15, while the Heat only had 8.
"After scoring 20 points in a single quarter, Feilong also sent out two assists during the double-teaming. In the last two minutes, the Heat no longer dared to double-team him. I think the Heat will return to their original defense. The tactic is to defend Feilong alone, allowing him to blow up his own inside, but he must guard against the rest of the Knicks."
During the break, Bill Walton analyzed.
Matt nodded and said: "It's possible. Anyway, no matter how you defend, even the complete Jordan Rules, no, it should be called Feilong Rules, can't completely limit Feilong's performance, just like the Jordan Rules can't completely limit Jordan's performance."
"When the Heat used Mourning to double-team Feilong, the inside collapsed. After Luke Langley withstood the strong collision from Feilong, the defensive strength behind him was significantly weakened. He could not hold up the Heat's inside, and the rebound was completely out of control, so Mo Ning must give up double-teaming, return to the low post, and protect his rebounds and basket." Bill Walton analyzed.
In the CCTV live broadcast, Zhang Lili analyzed: "In terms of rebounding, the Knicks really have an absolute advantage and should be said to be the best in the league.
In terms of interior defense, Ben Wallace and Oakley also defended the paint area very well. The two teamed up to send four blocks, which reduced the quality of the Heat's interior offense.
Comparing with last season, without Ewing, it seems that the Knicks' offensive ability has weakened, but judging from the first quarter of the game, no, Zhao Dong's firepower has been released, Ben Wallace and Danny Fortson are The low post can also average 17 or 8 points per game, and the Knicks' offense can still reach saturation.
At the same time, the addition of Ben and Danny Fortson has added interior defense and rebounding, which has enhanced both offense and defense.
It can be said that as long as Zhao Dong is not guarded against death, the Knicks have a lot to do in the playoffs. "
"Zhao Dong really cannot be guarded. The Knicks' offense and organization depend on him. He is the only one who can attract double-teams and create open opportunities for his teammates."
Sun Zhenping smiled.
Zhang Liji said with a smile: "Under normal circumstances, if Zhao Dong is as organized as he is, I would suggest him to pass the ball more. But in such a crucial series like the playoffs, I would suggest him to be more independent and play more by himself."
"Oh, why?" Sun Zhenping asked in surprise.
Zhang Lili smiled and said: "You know there was a time when the Bulls' point guard had a problem and they had to let Jordan play the one position and organize the offense. During that time, he often posted triple-doubles.
However, the team lost more and won less. Why, because his teammates are not as efficient as him. Even when facing double teams, his offensive efficiency is higher than that of his teammates. "
Sun Zhenping laughed and said, "It's better to come by yourself."
Zhang Liji smiled and said: "Look, Zhao Dong's overall shooting percentage in the first quarter was 80%, while the team's was 53%. He has to do it by himself and lead even more."
"There were two fast breaks today. I scored a few in the first few minutes when I was on single defense, but the hit rate was a little worse later. I think the Flying Dragon Law still has a certain impact on Zhao Dong." Sun Zhenping said.
Nodding, Zhang Lili suppressed his smile and said seriously: "Indeed, I was double-teamed by many people from behind, and I made 2 of 4 shots, with a hit rate of 50%, which was a little bit worse.
But having said that, the Knicks have rebounds. It doesn't matter if they miss the shot. They still have a second offense to play, so my opinion is still to do it by myself. No matter how many people double-team, Zhao Dong just shoots.
But I think that in the next game, the Heat will not double-team Zhao Dong again. Zhao Dong cannot be killed by shooting like that, and the rebounds are lost again. If they lose so much in a single quarter, if they continue to double-team Zhao Dong, that will be natural. Seeking death. "
In the third minute of the second quarter, when Zhao Dongyin came on the court, the Heat did not implement Jordan's rule of multi-person double-teaming, but Mashburn's single defense.
In this way, Zhao Dong resumed the violent play style he had at the beginning of the first quarter and began to attack the Heat's basket crazily. He blew the Heat's paint area into a piece of scorched earth.
In the ninth minute, the score difference reached 20 points, and the Knicks attacked.
Zhao Dong held the ball outside the three-point line on the right wing and made a fake shot. After shaking Mashburn, he held the ball and reached the wing.
Mourning defended, but adopted the strategy of defending and retreating to avoid being broken out of position by Zhao Dong.
"Quickly score the ball, be careful of being double-teamed under the basket."
In the CCTV live broadcast, when Zhao Dong was about to attack the paint area and all the other Heat players shrank, Zhang Lili shouted urgently.
"Bang bang..."
Zhao Dong suddenly stopped and stopped at the right elbow area, dribbling very fast.
With this stop, the Heat's shrinking momentum also stopped.
"Jump shot?"
Mourning knew something was wrong. Zhao Dong was going to make a jump shot there, so he immediately pounced on him.
At the same time, Mashburn behind and the bug in the high position also pounced on the right elbow area.
At this time, the Heat resumed their double-teaming of Zhao Dong.
But just when everyone was double-teaming the right elbow area, Zhao Dong started again, rushing past Mourning who was rushing towards him, and entered the paint area.
"not good!"
Mourning stopped suddenly, hugged Zhao Dong with his backhand, and took hold of Zhao Dong's left arm.
Zhao Dong struggled hard, and Mourning, who had already lost his balance, fell down.
But at this time, Zhao Dong's ball was also out of control. Luke Longley, who was under the basket, took a look and immediately stepped out of the reasonable collision area and grabbed the basketball.
However, he was half a step slower, and Zhao Dong regained control of the ball before him.
After taking control of the ball, Zhao Dong deliberately bumped Luke Longley with his shoulder, knocking the latter back into the reasonable collision area, and the next moment, Zhao Dong's body suddenly rose.
"boom!"
As the rim exploded, Luke Longley was knocked down and the referee's whistle sounded.
Luke Longley was hit and failed to jump to defend. It was considered a blocking foul and Zhao Dongjia made a free throw.
"Zhao Dong plays too tough. I just don't shoot. I just want to hit your basket and cause you damage." Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.
"Now Luke Longley has committed three offenses, and Mourning has committed three offenses, right?" Sun Zhenping said with a smile.
"Yes." Zhang Li said.
"boom!"
Zhao Dongjia missed a free throw, Mourning grabbed the rebound and the Heat attacked.
Xiaochong quickly advanced to the basket, faked a rise and shook the chasing rookie Billups, and then got up a second time for a layup.
"careful!"
Mourning's roar sounded from behind.
"Snapped!"
A big hand came to his head and slapped the ball on the backboard. The basketball was squeezed out of shape.
"What?"
He looked up in shock and saw Zhao Dong.
After landing, Zhao Dong immediately advanced quickly with the ball.
The players from both teams also turned around, those who were quick to get off quickly, and those who were returning to defense.
At this time, Alan Houston had an open space on the left wing. Zhao Dong passed the ball over, and then rushed down the center with all his strength and started a long sprint.
Alan Houston received the ball and hit the left wing, attracting the defensive attention. At this time, Zhao Dong rushed from the top of the key to the paint area, and the former immediately passed the ball.
"later!"
When Houston passed the ball, Heat shooting guard Woshan Leonard looked back and saw Zhao Dong's actions. Fear instantly appeared in his eyes. He immediately pointed at Mourning and roared sharply.
"What?"
Mo Ning was horrified, and with a backhand grab, he caught nothing, only to see a huge figure kill him from beside him.
Zhao Dong ran wildly for more than 20 meters, with unparalleled impact, like a strong wind raging across the earth, sweeping through the Heat's paint area and flying towards the incoming ball.
"boom!"
He caught the ball with both hands, closed his abdomen and smashed forward, and his 100-level core strength exploded instantly. Amidst the violent explosion of the basket, the entire basket was hit and sank instantly, and then it could not float for a long time.
"oh!"
Madison Square Garden let out a chorus of exclamations. The hearts of the nearly 20,000 fans were pounded by the highly stimulating bombing of the basket, and their adrenaline burst instantly.
"Gege..."
The basket frame had been smashed to the point that it could not be raised, and it hung there tremblingly, like the waist of an eighty-year-old man who could not straighten up. It kept making strange noises, and the bones seemed to be broken.
"It's going to collapse!"
"Run!"
"Crack, click, click..."
The media reporters behind the bottom line were like birds that exploded in a flock. They got up and ran away. The dedicated photographers pointed their lenses at Zhao Dong while running, and kept pressing the shutter.
"This is a pervert! A beast!"
Looking at Zhao Dong hanging on the basket, the Heat players were shocked and their morale disappeared.
Zhao Dong let go and landed, but did not walk away. After all, he relied on impact force, and the tonnage was far less terrifying than O'Neal. Without the subsequent force pulling, the basket frame should not fall down.
Sure enough, the deformed basket just hung there.
"ah!"
Horrifying shouts rang out, and the adrenaline-filled fans finally couldn't control their emotions. They all turned red and yelled crazily at Zhao Dong.
"Feilong, you did it. You really changed the basket for the Heat. Oh, Shet, you changed the basket frame."
Oakley rushed over, jumped on Zhao Dong's back crazily, and roared excitedly.
"We have to change another one, and we must do what we said."
Zhao Dong carried Oakley on his back and was greeted by hugs and cheers from other teammates.
In the next game, the highly motivated Knicks completely suppressed the demoralized Heat.
At the end of the second quarter, Luke Longley couldn't hold it anymore. Zhao Dong hit the basket too much today, and his physique simply couldn't handle it.
With the main center out, the Heat have no chance.
"President, after Feilong smashed the basket, the ratings skyrocketed and reached 31 million. However, the subsequent game was completely one-sided and Feilong was substituted, so it dropped again. The average viewership is 27.5 million."
Stern, who was watching the Knicks and Heat game, received a call from his office at home. He was very happy to hear these two numbers.
"Thirty-one million?"
He recalled it. Is it almost going to surpass the first ratings in history? And this is still the second round.
He still remembers that the highest ratings were in the G6 game of the 1993 Finals. The first five games were tied 3-2, and the Suns were one game behind. The G6 game was between the Suns and the Bulls at home. The highest ratings at that time was 32.1 million, which was also Jordan's The game's highest ratings.
The reason why the ratings were so high was because the two teams were inseparable in the G6 game. In the end, the Bulls only won by one point, 99:98.
Today's game was one-sided. The reason for such high ratings should be that Feilong's personal performance was so violent that it attracted a large number of fans.
"The Heat's lineup is still not good, their rebounding is too bad, and the inside line can't stop the impact of Feilong. I'm afraid they may be swept."
He thought about it and was a little disappointed. Under the protection of the new version of the anti-isolation singles rules, the Heat still had no obstacle to the Knicks.
It's not that he wants the Heat to beat the Knicks, he's just worried that the Heat will be swept.
If it gets swept, how much will it cost? But to return to the Knicks' home court, they have to fight until the G6 game. With the strength of the Heat, I can't imagine that they can last that long.
The game ended, 75:95, with the Knicks winning by 20 points.
Zhao Dong clocked in for two quarters, and the Heat's substitutes later scored some points, but it was of no use and could not fill the huge hole dug by the main force.
Zhao Dong played 21 minutes. As long as he was on the court, he was the main attacker. He made 14 of 18 shots and 7 of 9 free throws. He scored 35 points in the half.
But he played too hard in the half and he was very tired.
"Feilong, how much do you think the Feilong Law restricts you?" a reporter asked during the on-site interview after the game.
"When we have the advantage in rebounding, no double-teaming is of any use to me. I can shoot without restraint. So in today's game, I don't think that law has any impact on me. You can tell from my data. See that."
Zhao Dong said confidently.
"How did you feel when you smashed the basket frame?" a reporter asked.
"I can destroy everything. Yes, that's what it feels like. That powerful feeling is really addictive." Zhao Dong smiled.
After answering a few questions, Zhao Dong ended the interview.
Back in the locker room, as soon as he entered, Larry Johnson shouted to him: "You know, boss, the Jazz lost at home."
"What?"
Zhao Dong was startled.
The Sonics traded Rainman in exchange for Vin Baker. Their strength is good, not worse than last season, but if they want to beat the Jazz, who can withstand the postman's elbows? By Vin Baker?
Oakley laughed: "The Postman made 5 of 18 shots and was completely out of shape."
"Boss, I think it's because you sued his agent." Alan Houston smiled.
Zhao Dong smiled and said: "It should be, haha, it's cool!"
At this time, in the Jazz's home team locker room, Jerry Sloan was furiously spraying Postman Malone.
"I've already said, don't use those methods, don't listen to sponsors, don't participate in their business competition, where is your brain?"
"The current Feilong is no longer the Feilong of last season. He is no longer a simple player. He is the boss of Feilong Sports. He has a large number of NBA players. With the development trend of Feilong Sports, there will be a large number of players in the future. Star, you want to fight with him outside the field, and you don't know why you died? Do you understand? Jordan can't even think of fighting with him outside the field, can you? What qualifications do you have?"
"Your only chance is to defeat him on the court. This is the only place you can defeat him. Do you understand? Use your brain. Is your brain full of water?"
Jerry Sloan is so angry that he can't be angry anymore. He has cultivated the black and white evil spirits for so many years, and now they have reached their peak period and are about to produce results. Jordan comes back, and then Zhao Dong appears again. The Spurs, Lakers, and Pacers are all up. , there are powerful enemies everywhere, and now the postman is careless. He really feels too tired.
The postman rested his elbows on his legs, covered his face with his hands, and had nothing to say.
In tonight's game, he was completely out of shape. The two billion claim amount and the huge team of lawyers were always wandering in his mind.
