Chapter 419 Breaking 0 Again?

Barkley said after the game: "The Lakers' tactics were a success today. O'Neal was best protected. This not only liberated him, but also saved him a certain amount of physical energy. He still had room to attack until the end. The Blazers lost." It’s not unfair.”

Smith said: "Feilong is known as the god of efficiency, but he has a huge weakness, especially when the Lakers have two super centers, this weakness is magnified."

"What is it?" Buckley asked with interest.

"There's no height at the basket," Smith said.

Barkley couldn't help but nodded and said: "Yes, Feilong has no height, so he can only play outside when playing O'Neal and Robinson. His efficiency cannot reach the highest level. In addition, the Lakers adopted foul tactics today, and he failed to get in. The basket There were very few offenses and the efficiency was even lower, which was the main reason why the Blazers lost today."

Smith added: "At the same time, on the defensive end, he was restrained by Kobe. But even if he gets into the basket, because he has no height, his effectiveness in defending the two super centers is average. At least he has never guarded O'Neal and can only Explode each other.”

Barkley said: "What we want to know most now is that the Trail Blazers face two away games. What tactical adjustments will Larry Bird make?"

Smith smiled and said: "Phil Jackson completed the tactical adjustment very well after losing the G1 game and boldly used foul tactics. Now it is Larry Bird's turn."

Barkley said with a smile: "If we talk about the strength of the two teams, the Lakers are stronger in the main lineup, but the Trail Blazers are stronger in terms of lineup thickness. The strength of both sides is actually the same as in the four regular season games, so they are about the same, so the tactical ability of the head coach is important. Sex comes to the fore.”

Smith finally laughed and said: "If Larry Bird cannot make appropriate tactical adjustments, then the Trail Blazers will face a very difficult situation if they lose a home game. Facing the powerful Lakers, losing two more away games will be very difficult. possible."

In the CCTV live broadcast, Zhang Lili also made the final comment, saying: "Actually, most of the fouls against Zhao Dong today were caused by Zhao Dong's supplementary defense after breaking through Kobe, that is, Kobe was not on guard. Zhao Dong stayed, but the follow-up defense had an effect.

Larry Bird failed to adjust his offensive tactics in time, so Zhao Dong was unable to smoothly break in and cause damage to O'Neal and David Robinson.

Foul tactics are a double-edged sword, especially when implemented on Zhao Dong, whose free throw percentage is as high as 90%, but today the Lakers succeeded.

The reason why the Lakers are successful is based on the super center's efficient offense at the basket. With this foundation, the Lakers can have the courage to use foul tactics on Zhao Dong.

If it were another team,

Without high-efficiency offense at the basket, it would be suicide to use foul tactics on Zhao Dong, and he could only be killed by Zhao Dong's massive free throws. "

The Trail Blazers left the court, the Lakers were interviewed by the media at the scene, and O'Neal and other three superstars were surrounded by the media.

"Shaq, you played like a god of efficiency today. What do you want to say most?" a reporter from Los Angeles Sports asked.

"We can destroy them, and it will be our Lakers who enter the finals." O'Neal said with great momentum.

"Admiral, what about you?" the reporter asked again.

"We played a great game. From tactics to execution, from coaches to players, we did our best. Our victory is deserved." David Robinson smiled.

"David, the Lakers, Digital Team, and Trail Blazers all offered you an olive branch, and you chose the Lakers. Feilong once said that your choice of the Lakers was the worst choice. So what do you have to say to him now? What?" another reporter asked.

David Robinson sneered: "The facts will prove that my choice will be the most correct."

"Kobe, you only scored 17 points today, what do you want to say?" a reporter asked.

"Winning is the best result. I'm very happy that I can contain Feilong on the offensive end." Kobe said lukewarmly.

He only scored 17 points, which is certainly not a reflection of his strength. Of course he will not be too happy, but the team can win. As he said, the result is still good, and it is a result he can accept.

The Trail Blazers returned to the locker room, and Larry Bird immediately began to summarize the game.

He emphasized one point in his first start, that is, he made a tactical mistake and did not provide enough cover for Zhao Dong.

Zhao Dong's killing tactics came out, but the damage was not to O'Neal and David Robinson, who wanted to kill, but to the Lakers' perimeter. This was actually a tactical failure.

Then he said unhappily: "If we do this again in G3, then we will have no choice but to take action against the sharks."

When he started today, he didn't expect the Lakers to kill Feilong. By the time he reacted, there were already a lot of fouls on the players inside, and he didn't dare to kill Shark anymore.

"Yes, chop him to death!" Fordson said angrily.

"I agree, let him cry at the free throw line," Brian Grant yelled.

The other players also nodded. They were really depressed today.

He then concluded his post-game summary and asked the players to take a shower.

Zhao Dong stood under the shower head and let the water wash away the depression in his heart.

He played very uncomfortable today. The Lakers also used foul tactics, which made it difficult for him to take shots many times. This kind of tactics gave him no chance to use his newly acquired blacksmith badge.

After taking a shower, Zhao Dong and Eddie Jones followed Larry Bird to attend the post-game press conference.

"Feilong, you're done this time."

Just meeting the Lakers, O'Neal shouted proudly.

"You made me angry, and then you scored 100 points at Staples. What can you do to me? Can you guard me?" Zhao Dong said coldly.

"You can't guard against me either."

O'Neal said unhappily: "Do you think you are really a god and can break 100 if you want?"

"Just wait and see, I'll beat you up in the end, or I'll chop you to death."

Zhao Dong dropped a word angrily and turned around to enter the Blazers' press conference hall.

"cut?"

Hearing the last sentence, O'Neill was dumbfounded.

Next to him, Phil Jackson also had a headache. He knew that foul tactics could no longer be used, otherwise the Blazers would be doomed as long as they cut.

"Feilong, what do you think of the Lakers' foul tactics against you today?" a reporter asked.

"The Lakers are very proud that they won a game with this tactic that made the game less enjoyable, but I think any tactic will have weaknesses, and we will find it." Zhao Dongdao.

"Will the Trail Blazers kill sharks?" the reporter asked again.

"If the Lakers continue to do that, why don't we?" Zhao Dong said.

"Do you still think it was a mistake for David Robinson to join the Lakers?" another reporter asked.

"Of course. A mistake is a mistake and it will not change." Zhao Dong said.

"Why?"

"It's simple, because it's me who decides whether his choice is correct or not. Neither he nor the Lakers can decide." Zhao Dong said with a smile.

"..."

These words were so overbearing that the reporters were instantly stunned.

On the 22nd, the media commented on last night's game.

Although the Lakers won the game, few media increased the chances of the Lakers reaching the Finals. The reason is very simple. Zhao Dong admitted that if the Lakers continue to cut him, the Trail Blazers will cut Shaq, and this is a fatal move for the Lakers. .

Before the Lakers left Portland, they learned from the media that the Trail Blazers were likely to use the shark-cutting tactic, and they immediately felt overwhelmed.

Although the last two minutes of each quarter cannot be cut, if the Trail Blazers cut from the beginning, the Lakers will not be able to play at all.

Phil Jackson knew that he had to change his tactics again, and foul tactics could no longer be used.

The G3 game is on the 25th, with a few days of rest in between. The Blazers are not in a hurry to go to Los Angeles.

And that night, the Eastern Conference Finals started, and the Nets used their absolute inside strength to defeat the young Bulls and win the G1 game.

Dayao played 40 minutes, making 12 of 20 shots, 10 of 10 free throws, and scored 34 points and 9 rebounds.

The Bulls were much weaker inside, and Oakley was old after all. Bus came on as a substitute and played 24 minutes against Dayao. He made 3 of 10 shots, 2 of 3 free throws, and scored 8 points and 4 rebounds.

On the 24th, the Trail Blazers arrived in Los Angeles.

Accompanying us were two thousand away fans.

And that night, the Nets played the Bulls again at home and won the G2 game. They were very motivated to enter the finals.

On the morning of the 25th, Da Zhi and Hu Weidong came to Los Angeles. Hu Weidong's wife and Da Zhi's parents also came with them. They were planning to return to China and watch the G3 game of the Western Conference Finals.

Zhao Dong called Kobe and asked him to prepare five tickets.

In less than two hours, Kobe personally delivered the tickets. There were actually five front row tickets, which was a big deal.

Then Kobe invited him to dinner and found a Western restaurant. Zhao Dong, Hu Weidong and Da Zhi went there.

"Kobe, are you still going to kill me tonight?" Zhao Dong asked.

Kobe had a look of disdain on his face and said, "We can win without cutting you."

"You have a tough mouth." Zhao Dong smiled.

"Who's so harsh?" Kobe said, scratching his head.

After chatting for a long time, Zhao Dong suddenly thought of a question when he saw Da Zhi. In this life, Da Zhi's fate was different. He didn't have a girlfriend yet, let alone got married. In the previous life, he had already married his first wife. get married.

He asked curiously: "Da Zhi, have you dated a girlfriend?"

Dazhi was startled and smiled shyly: "Not yet."

Zhao Dong thought for a while and said proudly: "Brother, it's time to find him. I already have four sons."

"Pfft!"

Seeing the showy look on Zhao Dong's face, Hu Weidong and others burst into laughter.

Kobe said with envy on his face: "I also want to have a few sons and teach them how to play basketball."

"you?"

Zhao Dong looked disdainful, but did not continue to speak.

"What about me? Can't I have a son?" Kobe said angrily.

"Hehe." Zhao Dong sneered.

"What do you mean?" Kobe urged.

"Having children depends on your fate. I don't think you have that fate." Zhao Dong said proudly.

Seeing Zhao Dong's proud expression, Kobe swore: "I will definitely be able to have sons, and I will definitely have more sons than you."

"I gave birth to four children once and eight children twice, can you do that?" Zhao Dong said.

"You?" Kobe was angry.

"Ha ha……"

Hu Weidong and the others couldn't help laughing, which attracted the side glances of the guests at the table next to them.

At night, Staples Center, a large number of stars appear here, decorating the place with bright stars.

The game started at 8:30, and at 8:00, both sides announced tonight's starting lineup.

Trail Blazers: O'Brien, Brian Grant, Marion, Eddie Jones, Zhao Dong

Lakers: O'Neal, David Robinson, Rick Fox, Kobe Bryant, Ron Harper.

In the TNT commentary box, Barkley laughed and said: "Feilong has already said that if the Lakers cut him again, the Trail Blazers will definitely use the shark-cutting tactic against the Sharks. So Kenny, do you think the Lakers dare to use foul tactics against Feilong tonight?" ?"

"I'm sure the Lakers don't dare," Smith said.

"Why?"

"Because if the Lakers did that, the first person to die would be themselves."

This issue was also discussed in the CCTV commentary box.

Su Qun said: "The Lakers probably won't use foul tactics tonight. Larry Bird really showed mercy to the Lakers in the last game."

Zhang Lijia smiled and said: "Larry Bird is a super giant after all, and he is not as humble as Nelson. Phil Jackson probably had no choice but to lose, so he resorted to killing tactics."

"Yep……"

Su Qun smiled and said: "From the Bulls to the Lakers, he has never defeated the Feilong team, and he can no longer care about his face."

At 8:15, the starting lineup begins.

At half past eight, the game starts.

Xiao Ao wins the jump ball and the Blazers attack.

The Lakers are still in a mixed defense, and Kobe is guarding Zhao Dong.

Zhao Dong took the ball and came to the left wing three-point line, and the Lakers' zone defense formation shifted to the left wing.

Everyone in the Trail Blazers opened up, including the two insiders, and the paint area became vacated.

To start, Zhao Dong turned around and passed Kobe Bryant and broke into the wing.

At this time, the Lakers' small forward Fox quickly came down from above to cover the defense, and David Robinson, who was pulled to the left wing by O'Brien, also immediately returned to defend, forming a second line of defense with the former.

Kobe also caught up and formed a three-person double-team on Zhao Dong with two teammates on the wing.

Zhao Dong made an emergency stop and took a mid-range shot.

At this moment, he was surrounded by three people, which triggered the effect of the blacksmith badge, and his self-confidence exploded to 200%.

The murderous intention was resolute, the strike was decisive, without any hesitation, and the entire technical movement was as smooth as clouds and water, which can be said to be as smooth as silk.

This technical move also enhanced the escape effect of his pull-up jump shot. The three Lakers defenders failed to keep up with the rhythm.

If the Lakers don't use foul tactics, he has 200% confidence in making this shot.

In the last game, at this time, the Lakers' defenders would often directly interrupt his offense with foul actions, not giving him a chance to play two plus one.

The next moment, the ball was released, and the Lakers did not intentionally foul.

"brush!"

The water splashed and the two-pointer hit.

"Today, I'll see how you can stop me."

After succeeding, Zhao Dong retreated and uttered these murderous words.

He really has the idea and determination to break 100 here again.

In the Lakers frontcourt, O'Neal and David Robinson entered the paint area. The former was very physical and squeezed directly to the basket, while the latter was a little further away from the basket.

At this time, Kobe took the ball from Harper, and after containing the defense on the right wing, passed it to Robinson, who once again contained the Blazers' defense, and finally passed it to O'Neal.

"boom!"

After an alley-oop, O'Neal dunked Brian Grant under the basket.

Fortunately, Grant jumped to defend in time without any unnecessary movements, and did not let O'Neal score two plus one.
