NBA Dynasty Sniper

"Both the Knicks and the Bulls played a good tactical cooperation in this quarter, but the Knicks performed better on the defensive end. The Dragon sent a steal and four blocks in a single quarter, helping the team lead the Bulls." Bill Walton analyzed.

"Dragon has a strong defense inside and outside, and his movement speed can make his defense cover the entire half court. The Bulls should continue to let Pippen pull near the sideline, which can pin the Dragon on the wing and prevent him from returning. Paint area." Matt analyzed.

In the CCTV live broadcast seat, Zhang Lili said: "Now Zhao Dong made 12 of 18 shots in the three quarters, 1 of 1 three-pointers, 4 of 5 free throws, scored 29 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, 5 blocks, 1 turnover and 3 fouls. data.

Jordan made 12 of 22 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, and 6 of 7 free throws. He scored 32 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, 1 block, 1 turnover and 2 fouls. "

Sun Zhenping said: "Today Zhao Dong played fast breaks several times, and he also played well in positional battles with high efficiency. In positional battles, he mainly made emergency stop jump shots today, and he can often get rid of defenders and then jump shots. Guaranteed."

Zhang Lili said with a smile: "But there are fewer free throws, only 5 free throws, which is far lower than the number of free throws he made in the playoffs.

He averaged 9.3 free throws and 9.2 free throws per game in the first and second rounds of the series, but in the first five games of the Eastern Conference Finals, he stepped up his breakthrough and averaged 15 free throws per game.

But today there are only 5. The gap is too far. Although his breakthroughs are not as many as the previous five games, they are still quite a few, and he did not give them several times. "

"The Bulls made 27 free throws in three quarters, and the Knicks made 18, a difference of 9," said Sun Zhenping.

"Some of these factors are too important to the game, I hope the Knicks will withstand it." Zhang Li said.

On the Bulls bench, Phil Jackson is making tactical arrangements.

He focused on deploying defensive tactics, and made targeted arrangements for the Knicks' tactics, especially the Knicks' pick-and-roll tactics.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the two sides still cooperated.

However, the Knicks don't have much offensive tactics, just pick-and-roll, and it's a simple pick-and-roll tactic.

The pick-and-roll tactic is actually not simple. It can create opportunities through continuous pick-and-roll coverage.

But the Knicks don't have such complicated pick-and-roll tactics, and there aren't many cooperations after they are taken apart. It depends on the random performance of the players.

so,

After the Bulls played a targeted defense, the Knicks made many mistakes, and Zhao Dong and Ewing made two mistakes.

Seven minutes later, 84:84, the two teams drew, and the Knicks called a timeout.

"In terms of strength on paper, the Knicks should have a stronger lineup than the Bulls after the dragon's super performance. It's a pity that the coach is too good, the strength is not fully developed, the offensive tactics are too simple, and every victory is so difficult. .” Zhang Lili sighed.

"It's a joy to lose. Both games lost more than 15 points." Sun Zhenping couldn't help complaining.

At this point the timeout ends and play resumes.

Knicks attack.

In the timeout just now, Van Gundy didn't arrange any offensive tactics, but emphasized defense, so the Knicks' offense was still the same, with sudden points and pick-and-rolls.

Zhao Dong was thinking about how to fight while playing, he could see this, Xiao Fan couldn't help him.

He thought of the triangle tactics, also thought of the King's Princeton tactics in the future, and thought of the small ball style of play.

When he attracts double-teams, his teammates have many open opportunities, and he can also pass the ball, but why is it still so difficult to play?

Doesn't feel good, misses open shots, or doesn't open enough.

The running positions of the teammates are random running, there is no rules, and there is no coordination with each other, because there is no supporting offensive tactics.

"Wait a moment."

He stopped his teammates and said in a low voice: "Wait a minute, you pull away first, and then the outside line keeps cutting in, and the inside line serves as a pick-and-roll for the outside line..."

"OK!"

Everyone nodded.

The ball reached the frontcourt, and Zhao Dong took the ball two steps beyond the left-wing three-point line. Pippen forced him over, but was blocked by his arm, and he ran towards the three-point line.

At this time, Ewing and Oakley pulled apart, emptying the Bulls' basket.

After Zhao Dong reached the three-point line, he forced Pippen away and drove the ball into the flank.

At this time, the Bulls' point guard Harper had rushed over and implemented supplementary defense, and soon he would form a double-team with Pippen on the flank to Zhao Dong.

At the same time, the emptied point guard Chris Childs cuts from the top of the arc to the basket.

Jordan on the weak side immediately defended the basket, but at this time, Alan Houston, who was emptied by Jordan, also immediately began to cut in, forming a back-cut trend against Jordan who defended the basket.

Childs missed Zhao Dong's pass, immediately pulled to the left wing and asked Zhao Dong for the ball.

Jordan's attention was attracted by Childs. At this moment, he saw Zhao Dong passing the ball, so he quickly followed Childs.

However, the ball flew behind him.

Alan Houston cut into the paint and took a step to catch the ball, and then made a layup with one step, making an open goal easily.

"Beautiful. The back line cut to the basket continuously. After Zhao Dong attracted double-teams, the Bulls' defensive strength obviously lost sight of one another."

Sun Zhenping shouted excitedly.

Zhang Lili smiled happily: "The cutting strategy is good. The closer to the basket, the higher the shooting rate. It should have been played like this. Don't keep shooting from the outside. It doesn't feel good, and you can't hit any open shots."

Looking back, the Bulls attack.

The Bulls stepped up their movement, and Pippen led Zhao Dong from the left wing to the right wing and back to the left wing.

Similarly, Jordan also ran continuously.

The two broke the Knicks' defense by running without the ball.

At this time, the two went to the right wing at the same time, and Jordan suddenly made a pick-and-roll for Pippen, blocking Zhao Dong.

The pass comes from the top of the key, Pippen cuts inside and Alan Houston switches on Pippen.

But at this time Pippen passed the ball to Jordan who cut outside.

Jordan was two steps away from the three-point line, forming a situation where Zhao Dong was singled out, and the double-teaming force could not be reached for a while.

"Bang bang..."

Jordan dribbled the ball twice in quick succession and stood up abruptly.

When Zhao Dong saw Jordan's dribbling speed increase, he knew that the opponent would make a shot, or a breakthrough, or a jumper, so he immediately made a choice, close to him.

With the width of his body, if it is close to the body, Jordan must take an extra step to break through, which is conducive to his retreat.

If Jordan shoots a jump shot, being close can also squeeze his center of gravity, affect his shot, and help block shots at the same time.

Jordan chose the jumper, a fadeaway jumper.

The moment Jordan took off, Zhao Dong was close to the body and jumped up.

Zhao Dong predicted that with his defensive ability, shot-blocking ability, and jumping ability, Jordan couldn't be a simple jumper, it must be a fadeaway jumper, so his take-off was to jump directly forward.

"Snapped!"

Jordan's shot was blocked by Zhao Dong, and the two collided and fell to the floor.

"oh!"

"Beep!"

Amidst the exclamations of the Bulls fans, the referee whistled.

"What the hell!"

As soon as Zhao Dong got up, he saw the referee running towards him pointing at him, gestured for a defensive foul, and couldn't help but swear.

"Hush!"

The away fans immediately booed when they saw the gesture.

"yeah!"

But the home fans immediately drowned out the away fans with a loud cheer.

"Sir, I hit the ball first, I'm sure." Zhao Dong explained.

"Sorry, what I saw was that you hit the offensive player first." The referee also explained.

"Heh!" Zhao Dong laughed angrily.

Fuck, if that's the case, why did your whistle go off after the shot? Want Jordan to play a two-plus-one?

"It's an absolutely fine hat, and someone ruined it." Bill Wharton said in a daze during the TNT live broadcast.

"It's too much, such a cap has been blown, and it's very rare to block a fadeaway jumper." Zhang Lili yelled dissatisfiedly in the CCTV live broadcast.

The referee's will cannot be reversed, the game continued, the Bulls attacked, and the time was 4.5 seconds.

Kukoc serves and the others are running around when Harper suddenly pulls out from the top of the key and raises his hand to the sidelines for the ball.

Zhao Dong followed Pippen on the left wing. At this time, he saw Harper's withdrawal, but also saw the action of another Bulls player, that is Jordan.

Jordan suddenly cut inside and dropped Allan Houston.

Kukoc gesticulates a pass to Harper, but snaps it back and throws it to Jordan, who cuts inside.

At this moment, Zhao Dong lost Pippen and rushed to the paint.

Jordan caught the ball and drove into the paint, and one step later, he flew up with the ball in one hand.

Ewing was held down by Rodman in the low position on the left wing, and it was too late to return to the defense. At this time, a figure rushed into the paint from beside him.

Jordan was about to perform a dunk, when Zhao Dong's figure appeared in his sight, and his right hand holding the ball instinctively retracted.

However, Zhao Dong on the opposite side did not fly up to block him, and he missed the best opportunity for dunks.

The next moment, he slid over the rim and picked it up with a backhand.

At this time, Zhao Dong, who had jumped to the front of the basket, jumped up,

"Snapped!"

Zhao Dong directly pressed the ball on the backboard, and then grabbed it.

When he rushed in just now, he kept an eye out for Jordan's dunk, so he doesn't need to take off so early, as long as he seals the basket at the end, it can also prevent Jordan from pulling the bar.

Sure enough, he was right.

"oh!"

In a short period of time, Jordan was capped by Zhao Dong again, and the Bulls fans in the audience exclaimed.

"Aw!"

Depressed away fans started their roaring frantically this time.

On the Knicks bench, Van Gundy, Thibodeau, John Starks and other players and coaches all cheered for the block.

"Good job, Zhao Dong, just fight like this!" Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.

"Flying Dragon played hard on the defensive end and was blown one, but he sent a block to Jordan again, and he ended the active first man's offense."

Bill Wharton exclaimed excitedly.

"start running."

At this time, the Knicks advanced the ball to the frontcourt, and Zhao Dong began to organize the offense.

After his teammates ran, he broke through with the ball on the left wing again and attracted the defense. After the two guards on the outside took advantage of the Bulls' lack of defensive strength, they kept cutting into the basket.

In the end, Childs got an open opportunity, received a pass from Zhao Dong, made a jumper near the basket, and hit a ball over the head of Rodman who was returning to defense.

88:84, the Knicks led by 4 points, and the Bulls called a timeout.

"There was a problem with the defensive tactics, and Phil Jackson's timeout was called very timely." Bill Walton commented.

"The Knicks have stepped up cutting to the basket, and Phil Jackson may not be able to come up with any good solutions." Matt laughed.

Bill Walton nodded and said, "The flying dragon attracts double-teams, which will inevitably lead to the Bulls having one less player in other positions.

In the case of one less man, the Bulls can solve the problem by quickly supplementing the defense.

But if the dragon is close to the paint, it is likely to cause the Bulls to lose two or three players, which is not something that can be solved by quick defense.

As long as other Knicks players cut to the basket, the Knicks can play an efficient offense, which is a fatal problem. "

Matt went on to say: "But the Bulls can also do this. After Jordan attracts double-teams from the wing, others cut to the basket."

Bill Walton shook his head and said: "Pippen is the best at cutting inside among the Bulls' main force, but he was locked up by the flying dragon. Others, Rodman can't run anymore, don't count on it. Harper and Cuoco Odd's air cutting skills are average, and the Bulls can't cut in as many players as the Knicks.

But the most troublesome thing is that the Knicks have the dragon's organization and passing, but after Pippen was locked up, the Bulls lost their organizer, and Jordan had to play two roles. "

Matt laughed: "Jordan can still play, and he scored 39 points tonight, but the Bulls' lineup has aged, and let go of a young and terrifying dragon, and now they are paying the price."

Bill Wharton smiled knowingly.

On the Bulls' bench, Phil Jackson is indeed having a headache, and there are not enough people in his hands.

Glancing at Zhao Dong, who was on the Knicks' bench, he sighed secretly. If he could have been kept in the first place, he wouldn't bother this playoffs, and defending the title would be a matter of course.

At the end of the timeout, the Knicks replaced Charlie Ward and John Starks to strengthen the defense on the back line.

Bulls attack.

Pippen suddenly withdrew to catch the ball. When Zhao Dong caught up, Harper came over to cover for Pippen in the pick-and-roll. Pippen took the opportunity to get rid of Zhao Dong and broke through from the left wing with the ball.

Charlie Ward switched defenses in time, and Zhao Dong caught up to double-team, blocking Pippen outside the paint.

At this time, Harper ran to make a pick-and-roll for Jordan. Jordan pulled to the top of the arc on the left wing and got an open position.

At this time, Pippen gave the ball to Jordan, Zhao Dong quickly defended, and John Starks, who was chasing after him, formed a double-team trend against Jordan.

But after Jordan got the ball, he suddenly started, broke through the double-team between the two, entered the paint area, and made an emergency stop jump shot in the left elbow area.

Zhao Dong turned around to pursue and defend, but he was too late.

"Shua!"

Two points hit.

Glancing at Zhao Dong coldly, Jordan was too lazy to talk trash anymore, he felt that he had no advantage in this respect.

And when the score was behind, he didn't have the mood to talk trash anymore, and immediately returned to defense after he succeeded, so as not to be chased and beaten by Zhao Dong.

Knicks attack.

Charlie Ward received the ball, and Harper immediately implemented a full-court press, trying to catch him off guard.

"Give me."

Zhao Dong stretched out his hand to pass the ball and pushed forward personally.

His ball-handling level has reached level 95, which is absolutely super-level, and his speed has also reached top-notch, so he is qualified to play a point guard.

As soon as he pushed forward, Pippen and Harper seemed to see the opportunity, and immediately came to double-team and press.

Zhao Dong turned around to protect the ball, swayed his back, then turned left suddenly, and rushed between the two of them.

This breakthrough was like a dragon swimming in the ocean, with nothing in front of him. He immediately pushed forward with all his strength, passed the center line without slowing down, and approached the top of the arc.

Pippen and Harper desperately chased and defended, but they couldn't surpass them in a short time. They lost their defensive positions, and the rest of the Bulls could only defend.

Jordan and Rodman left their men behind to defend the top of the arc.

After the two defended, their men, John Starks and Oakley, ran to the basket at the same time and made an inside cut.

"squeak!"

Zhao Dong made an emergency stop at the top of the arc, and even completed the movement of closing the ball and getting up while making an emergency stop.

"Be careful, make an emergency stop and jump shot..." the on-site commentator roared anxiously.

His action further attracted the defense, and all four jumped to his side, even Rodman and Pippen jumped up.

But his body was closed together, and then he threw his hands on the floor in front of him, passed the ball from between Jordan and Rodman, and passed the ball in.

"It's over!"

cried Bill Wharton.

John Starks cuts into the paint, catches the ball for a layup, and makes an easy one.

90:86, the Knicks lead by 4 points.

Next, Jordan missed a shot, and it was the Knicks' turn to attack.

At the critical moment, Zhao Dong simply took over the responsibilities of point guard, pushed forward with the ball in the backcourt, and signaled others to come down quickly.

The Bulls didn't double-team Zhao Dong in the backcourt this time, and each followed his own people, only Pippen defended and retreated.

"Pi Er Er, your performance in this series is too bad, maybe you will be traded during the offseason." Zhao Dong pushed forward and stimulated Pippen with trash talk.

"You want to control?" Pippen said angrily.

"Run and move."

Just past the center line, Zhao Dong shouted and made tactical gestures.

With the running of the Knicks players, the Bulls' defense was pulled.

Three seconds later, Zhao Dong saw an opportunity, and the cutting John Starks set a pick-and-roll screen for Ewing, who was going to the basket and no one was around.

He jumps right away and throws the ball in a straight line over Pippen's head.

"boom!"

Ewing jumped up to catch the ball, smashed forward with both hands, and completed an alley dunk.

92:86, the Bulls trailed by 6 points.

"Feilong, you passed it so well!" Excited Ewing shouted after landing, pointing at Zhao Dong.

"Ha ha……"

Seeing Ewing, who has never spoken much, being so excited, Zhao Dong also laughed out loud.

The Bulls serve and call a timeout.

"The top organizational talent, when the Knicks lacked offensive tactics, the dragon's organizational talent was fully stimulated." Matt shouted excitedly.

"Yes, he sent 4 assists in a row within three minutes, helping the team lead the Bulls by 6 points. He played the level of a top point guard at the most critical moment." Bill Walton laughed.

"What should the Bulls do now? I don't know either. But I know one thing. As long as the ball is in the hands of Flying Dragon, even if he is in the backcourt, he can't take a step, because he may pass a deadly ball at any time ’” Matt said seriously.

"There are 115 seconds left in the final quarter, and the Knicks lead by 6 points. Come on, the elimination of the Bulls is just around the corner." Zhang rationally shouted excitedly.

"Zhao Dong sent out his 10th assist just now, and he sent out 5 assists in the fourth quarter. So far he has hit a triple-double. This is his 6th triple-double, all triple-doubles in the playoffs..."

Sun Zhen also shouted excitedly.
