Chapter 362: The Dunk that Knocked over the Shark
The Knicks attacked, Zhao Dong received the ball on the left wing again, hit Ben Ben with his back, suddenly turned around and shot a fadeaway jumper, and once again hit a goal over Ben Ben.
His turning movement is the same as Jordan's, very fast, and his turning and retreating steps are very long, which makes it difficult for defenders to keep up, and the effect of getting rid of him is superb.
Kobe looked at Zhao Dong with some envy as he scored this goal. He had not yet mastered this skill. He knew how to turn and shoot, but his turn could not achieve such an escape effect. The defender had a great chance. Keep up with his movements, and as long as he blocks his sight, which is the so-called eye sealing method, his hit rate will not be high.
"Feilong, come in and hit me if you dare!"
O'Neal couldn't stand it anymore. He couldn't get the ball on the offensive end, and Zhao Dong avoided him on the defensive end. His bravery couldn't be shown.
"Since you want to be abused, then the next ball will let you get it." Zhao Dong chuckled.
"Come here if you have the guts, who is afraid of whom?" O'Neal shouted unwillingly.
The Lakers' offense was another off-ball double team under the basket.
When three seconds were up, O'Neal had no choice but to withdraw from the basket, and then the Knicks released the double-teaming tactic and left Zhao Dong to defend alone.
As soon as he enters the basket, the Knicks will immediately double-team him without the ball.
After Ben leaves the basket, he has almost no offensive ability, and the Knicks are not worried about him at all.
Bill Walton laughed and said: "The double-teaming tactic without the ball is still very harmful to O'Neal. But in fact, the introduction of this rule is more aimed at Feilong."
At this time, Glenn Rice got the ball on the left three-point line. Facing Ginobili, he made a fake breakthrough, shook the latter, and then shot a three-pointer.
Under the basket, O'Neal and Big Ben struggled to squeeze in, trying to compete for position.
However, Zhao Dong and Fordson did not compete with them for position. The two of them looked up to observe the path of the ball and began to move to block positions almost at the same time.
"boom!"
The ball hit the basket and rose.
At this moment, Fordson moved into position, and Zhao Dong blocked O'Neal, who was closer. The two cooperated very well.
"mine."
Fordson shouted loudly,
Jumped up first and grabbed the backcourt rebound.
Upon seeing this, Da Ben quickly stood in front of Zhao Dong to prevent him from launching a fast attack.
However, the Knicks' fast break this season no longer uses Zhao Dong, but three guards.
At this time, the three defenders were already rushing down with all their strength. Fordson did not pass the ball to Zhao Dong, but passed it directly to Ginobili.
Ginobili took a step away from Glen Rice and grabbed the ball past the midline.
Glen Rice's offense is good, but defense is always his weakness. He is not very aware of chasing defense. Once he sees that he cannot catch up, his speed slows down.
At this time, Ginobili went to the basket and flew for a layup.
But at this moment, a person appeared from behind, and with a bang, he nailed the rising basketball to the backboard.
"yeah!"
The entire Staples Center crowd cheered.
"Chasing a shot, Peter Pan Kobe chased a shot from Manu Ginobili. He made the Knicks' defensive counterattack come back without a hit." The on-site commentator roared excitedly.
Phil Jackson on the sidelines was somewhat disappointed with Glen Rice. In terms of defensive attitude, he admired Kobe even more.
"here."
Upon seeing O'Neal, who had not yet passed the midline, he quickly turned back and rushed to the basket while shouting to Kobe.
The rookie Ginobili was a little confused when he was chased. Before he could stop Kobe, Kobe made a long pass and passed the ball to O'Neal.
"not good!"
O'Neal was about to catch the ball at the free throw line when he saw Zhao Dong rushing over in front of him, and his heart skipped a beat.
Zhao Dong jumped up three meters in front of O'Neal. As his body glided forward, he completed a turn in the air. At this time, the ball fell from top to bottom. He stretched out his right arm, grabbed it with one hand, and broke the ball.
"Beautiful! So beautiful! Kobe chased Ginobili, and Feilong immediately retaliated. He immediately intercepted Kobe's long pass."
In the CCTV live broadcast, Su Qun shouted excitedly.
In the TNT live broadcast, Bill Walton praised: "Feilong's return speed is too fast. This steal is so amazing. It can definitely be included in the top ten best steals in history. If it happened in the playoffs, Its status will be higher.”
Zhao Dong's steal instantly extinguished the cheers at Staples Center.
When the Knicks attacked, Zhao Dong controlled the ball himself and quickly advanced to the frontcourt. Ben desperately blocked him in front of him to prevent him from making a fast break and at the same time bought time for O'Neal to enter the low post.
Zhao Dong suddenly dribbled the ball very quickly from his hip and changed the direction of the passer. Ben didn't react in time and lost his defensive position. His left hand instinctively pulled Zhao Dong. The referee's whistle immediately sounded, calling Ben an illegal one. Defend with your hands.
"hehe!"
Zhao Dong looked at the confused Ben and laughed.
Although Ben is a small forward, he is already used to the low post. The illegal hands rule has just been implemented this season and is aimed at high-post defense. Ben has no chance to adapt to this rule in the low post. Now he is defending Zhao Dong in the high post. , and he accidentally committed a foul.
The pull he just made was nothing in the low post, it was very normal, but now it doesn't work in the high post. The league promotes offensive basketball, and when defending in the high post, you cannot touch the ball holder with your hands, especially when you lose your defensive position.
The game restarted. Zhao Dong was on the left wing, with Big Ben guarding him. He suddenly cut outside and pulled to the three-point line. Big Ben didn't follow up. He got up immediately after catching the ball, pretending to throw a three-pointer. point.
He shoots quite a few three-pointers, especially after his offensive skill level has improved, and he shoots even less. However, his three-point shooting rate can be maintained at 45%. This shooting rate is actually equivalent to 67.5% of two-pointers. It's so frightening.
But the shooting percentage is not so simple. His three-point shooting percentage can be so high because he shoots less. Once he shoots too much, it will definitely not reach as high as 50%.
For example, in the past, his three-point shooting could reach 50% or higher. Later, he shot a little more and dropped to 45%.
When there are few shots, he usually only takes three-pointers when he has a good opportunity, so his shooting rate is super high.
And when there were more shots, some three-pointers were forced into the defender or even double-teamed, so the shooting rate dropped.
And the closer he is to the basket, the more lethal he is, so he has always had very few three-pointers.
But with this shooting percentage, he is still one of the best three-pointers in the league, and no one dares to miss his three-pointer.
At this time, Ben desperately caught up and flew with all his strength to block the shot.
However, he was fooled.
Zhao Dong closed immediately, and after flying away from the base, he held the ball and headed towards the paint area.
When O'Neal saw Zhao Dong coming to kill him, his eyes widened in excitement. He wanted to give Feilong, the bastard, a big hat.
When he gets serious on the defensive end, he's a real monster.
In 1993, his second season, which was also the first month of the regular season, he played away against the Nets. He made 15 blocks in a single game, and he still ranks second in the history of blocks in a single game.
Of course, his shot-blocking ability is not as terrifying now as it was back then. He is now 20 kilograms heavier and can no longer jump as well. His jumping height and speed are not as good as before.
Zhao Dong quickly rushed into the paint area. The sprint distance of six meters and four steps allowed him to pick up speed. Although it was far less than a long-distance sprint, the impact was already taking shape.
For this goal, he had to go head-to-head to make O'Neal, a stupid shark, understand that when I rush in, even you have to get out of my way.
Looking at Zhao Dong's unparalleled impact, O'Neill tensed up and clenched his teeth involuntarily.
He swore that if Feilong really wanted to dunk him on this ball, he would definitely pull Feilong down. He would never tolerate such unscrupulous dunks from the front, and he would never allow it!
"Bang!"
Taking a step into the paint, Zhao Dong stomped on the ground, soared into the air, held the ball in his right hand and flew forward to the giant Shaquille O'Neal under the basket.
All the fans in the audience opened their mouths at this moment and stared closely at the basket.
The same goes for all the fans in front of the TV.
At his peak, O'Neal was said to be able to jump up to 80 centimeters, a real monster, but that was before, and it is absolutely impossible now.
Under Zhao Dong's desperate jump, he unexpectedly jumped on O'Neal, and the next moment, with a bang, the two collided.
At this moment, Mars hits the Earth.
O'Neill felt as if he had been hit by an overloaded heavy truck. Given his tonnage, he suddenly started to retreat backwards. He was knocked unbalanced in the air, and it could even be said that he was knocked away.
The next moment, he instinctively pulled down with both hands to pull Zhao Dong down.
But he missed it, because when Zhao Dong bumped into him, he was knocked off balance by the reaction force and fell backward. His hands just passed in front of Zhao Dong, and then he fell backward and pulled away. distance between each other.
But Zhao Dong's core strength was really terrifying. At this moment, boom, the core strength that exceeded the limits of the human body erupted like a volcano.
"drink!"
With a muffled grunt, he jerked his waist and abdomen in the air, and his fall was momentarily halted, and he lay leaning in the air.
Then in the next moment, a carp came up in the air. Driven by the huge core strength, the upper body leaned forward towards the basket again.
"boom!"
As the rim trembled violently, Zhao Dong hung on the rim with one arm.
"Bang!"
At the same time, O'Neal landed, took two steps back, hit the basket frame, and then fell to the ground in a mess.
"oh!"
Staples Center erupted into an unusually loud exclamation, and countless people stood up, looking at the basket with incredible expressions on their faces.
"It's so, so, so terrible!"
The on-site commentator stammered and spoke incoherently.
"Pa bang bang..."
Soon, many fans who reacted began to applaud Zhao Dong's amazing dunk.
"Oh oh oh, Feilong, Feilong, what did Feilong do? He dunked Shaq O'Neal in front of him. He even knocked O'Neal away. He dunked and knocked away the most dominant super center in the NBA. At this moment, he Dominated O'Neal! Yes, O'Neal dominated the basket, he dominated O'Neal..."
In the TNT live broadcast booth, Matt roared with great excitement.
"It's over. Shark was completely humiliated by Feilong! If he doesn't return a dunk, he won't be able to raise his head in front of Feilong in the future."
Matt shook his head and laughed.
"It can't be stopped, and neither can O'Neal. This is Zhao Dong's impact! He is unstoppable!"
"Awesome! The flying dragon is in the sky, he is irresistible..."
In the CCTV live broadcast, Zhang Lili and Su Qun were equally excited.
"Long live the boss!"
"One more, boss!"
On the bench of the Knicks, a group of fringe players who had little chance were waving the white towels in their hands. Although they had little chance in the team, they also received a million US dollars in investment from Zhao Dong, so they were very interested in Zhao Dong, the boss. It is the respect that goes down to the ground.
"Shark, are you used to my dunk?" Zhao Dong came to O'Neal who had just gotten up and asked.
"Do you want to fight? Let me tell you, Feilong, the feud between us is getting bigger!" O'Neal roared with grief and anger.
"Shark, if you haven't gotten used to it yet, I'll let you get used to it." Zhao Dong smiled, dropped a word and returned to defense.
"You bastard! I will pay it back to you, of course!" O'Neill roared as he chased after him.
In the TNT live broadcast, Bill Walton continued to admire: "Did you see the flying dragon's airborne action just now? Oh, it is simply unparalleled. He must have broken through the human airborne limit. Oh, God, this is simply impossible, but I believe it it is true……"
Matt also exclaimed excitedly: "Don't believe in the limits of the human body. Just like the 100-meter score, it is constantly breaking forward bit by bit. People are constantly setting new world records, so Feilong breaks through the limit of staying in the air." It’s not surprising, someone will make a breakthrough one day, why can’t Feilong?”
Back on the offensive end, O'Neal approached the basket while twisting and yelling at Zhao Dong, who was defending behind him: "Come on, you little dwarf, I'm going to change the basket for you this time."
"What the hell, you dead fish, have you forgotten what I said? If you change my basket, I will change your board." Zhao Dong was also very angry after being called a dwarf.
Fordson made a big move again and came in front of O'Neal, cutting off his receiving line.
"Double-team me again, do you want face?" O'Neal roared with extreme grief and anger.
"You have the ability to defeat double-teams." Zhao Dong cursed.
At this time, Zhang Lili analyzed in the CCTV live broadcast: "The Lakers introduced Ben Wallace to strengthen the defense inside, but there is also a weakness. Ben has no shooting ability. As long as the Shark enters the basket and occupies the space under the basket, Wallace must leave the basket, so that he loses his role on the offensive end and is completely left open by the opponent. The opponent can directly double-team O'Neal without the ball under the basket."
"Coach Zhang, how should the Lakers solve this problem?" Su Qun asked.
Zhang Liji smiled and said: "Some things cannot have both ends. You cannot have your cake and eat it too."
At this point, he laughed, and then analyzed: "It is very difficult for the Lakers to solve the problem of O'Neal being double-teamed without the ball under the basket. Unless O'Neal leaves the basket, then Fordson cannot unscrupulously let go. Because Ben under the basket can still dunk and layup.”
Su Qun nodded and said: "But without the basket, O'Neal is no longer the invincible giant under the basket, and his efficiency will definitely be reduced."
"Yes, if the Lakers want to beat the Knicks, they need someone with the same offensive efficiency as Zhao Dong, and O'Neal's offensive efficiency under the basket is enough, even better than Zhao Dong's, so O'Neal must get into the basket, this is An endless cycle." Zhang Li said.
At this time, Glenn Rice received the ball, and the Lakers were demoralized by Zhao Dong's amazing dunk. He was too lazy to break through and directly threw a three-pointer over the head of the madman.
The ball missed, Zhao Dong grabbed the rebound, and the Knicks played a fast break from the outside. Stackhouse received Zhao Dong's long pass and made a layup.
At 8:2, the Lakers were 6 points behind at home. The offense couldn't start, there was a tactical problem, and Phil Jackson called a timeout.
Bill Walton joked: "Just now O'Neal was knocked away and the Lakers' morale was wiped out. Phil didn't even call a timeout, but now he calls a timeout. His coaching style is indeed unique."
"It will be too late if we don't call. O'Neal can't even get the ball. Feilong will definitely launch a wave of offensive and win the Lakers in one fell swoop." Matt said with a smile.
Bill Walton continued to tease, this time with a different target, and said with a smile: "I just got the news that the Sharks reportedly wanted to make a grudge against the Knicks today. Now it seems that this was a wrong choice."
"Ha ha……"
Matt laughed, and he also knew it, and said happily: "He may have angered Feilong. If the Knicks continue to double-team him without the ball, let's take a guess, will he get a clean sheet?"
"That's impossible. The Shark is a Shark after all. As long as he leaves the basket..."
When Bill Walton said this, he suddenly stopped and said with a strange expression: "If he leaves the basket and the Knicks continue to double-team him without the ball, then..."
"Isn't it a grudge? Shutting down O'Neal is the best way for the Knicks to get revenge." Matt laughed so hard that his face broke.
Well, after the analysis of the two, everyone watching this game now has a suspense. Will O'Neal be zero-blocked by the Knicks?
"Absolutely not. Shark is unstoppable at the basket. No one can keep him clean, not even Feilong."
"The Knicks are dreaming, and the Sharks are going to push them around the basket."
At this time, countless Lakers fans in front of the TV started talking about it.
To be honest, Zhao Dong really has no idea of shutting down O'Neal, but the double-teaming tactic without the ball must continue, because this is Nelson's experimenting tactics. Once he encounters the Lakers in the finals, he must prevent O'Neal from playing in the basket. The ball is raging, and the off-ball double-teaming tactic is the best defensive tactic.
