Chapter 141 Drowning Jordan with Hormones

In the second quarter, Zhao Dong played and played shooting guard, because Houston was on the bench, John Starks was suspended, and there was no one at the second position.

The third position was given to John Wallace, the inside line was the veteran Herb Williams and the rookie McCarty, and the first position was Charles.

The Magic had a back-to-back fight. When they were behind, all the main players played and no one rested.

The Magic attacked, Penny broke through with the ball, went into the paint, scored a goal on McCarty's head, and earned a foul.

An extra penalty hit and the Knicks attacked.

As soon as Zhao Dong got the ball from the outside line on the right wing, two steps away from the three-point line, the Magic double-teamed him, and Gerald Wilkins assisted in defense.

He quickly passed the ball to John Wallace, who missed a three-point jumper.

Binkali grabbed the rebound, the Magic counterattacked, and Penny made a two-pointer.

25:23, the Knicks only lead by 2 points.

"The Magic started to fight back. The Knicks are all substitutes inside and forward. The guard line can be regarded as the starter, but Childs' level is limited. The real star is only Flying Dragon. The Knicks' lineup is completely at a disadvantage." Bill Walton explained. .

"Chris, you go to the left wing."

At this time, Zhao Dong had just passed the center line, and ran to Charles to get the ball over, and then without pausing, he directly held the ball and killed it towards the top of the arc.

His strong breakthrough attracted the defense from the left and right wings of the Magic, and at the same time the defensive formation shrank to the paint area as a whole.

This time, the Knicks' outside lines were all empty.

Zhao Dong still passed the ball. He knew that he couldn't beat his opponent by himself, so he chose Charles.

Childs caught the ball on the left-wing three-point line, took aim at the hot basket, and then shot a three-point jumper.

"boom!"

The wide-open jumper missed again.

Zhao Dong shook his head, and decided to attack by himself before Ewing came up.

Looking back, Gerald Wilkins took the ball on the right-wing three-point line, paired Zhao Dong's single defense, and wanted to make a false sudden shot.

But Zhao Dong saw through his actions,

At the time of the false breakthrough, he poked the ball away with his hand.

Gerald Wilkins hurriedly turned around to grab the ball, but Zhao Dong had already bypassed him, grabbed the ball off the floor first, and then quickly dropped it.

Anderson and Penny turned to chase at the same time, but Zhao Dong still took the ball from the left wing into the paint and flew to the basket.

Penny, who returned from the center, and Anderson, who returned from the right wing, the two Magic guards chose to slow down and brake at the same time.

"boom!"

The magic basket was blown up, sparking the cheers of thousands of away fans.

Next, because the Knicks feel cold outside, as long as Zhao Dong gets the ball, no matter where it is, the Magic immediately double-teams, as long as they are close to the paint area, three-teams.

After half a quarter, Zhao Dong made 3 of 7 shots and 4 of 5 free throws. He scored 10 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 judgment, 2 turnovers and 1 foul.

"Including free throws, the scoring is okay, which caused a lot of damage to the Magic. But two turnovers in the half quarter are a bit too many. This is because he was double-teamed during the breakthrough and his teammates were not strong enough. He can only attack by himself." Zhang Reasonable said.

"At 39:35, the Knicks still led by 4 points. Zhao Dong's performance in the second quarter was still good. He bought Ewing a rest time."

Ma Jiandao.

In the second half, after a timeout, Ewing came on, the slightly younger Buck Williams also replaced the oldest Williams, Alan Houston also played, and the Knicks resumed their starting lineup.

Zhao Dong did not attack again in the second half, and always focused on breaking through and passing the ball, scoring 2 points and 2 assists.

After the second half, 53:46, the Knicks led by 7 points.

"If we continue to play like this, the Magic will not take advantage of it, and the main players will not have time to rest. As long as the Knicks can persevere, the Magic may eventually collapse due to physical problems in the final quarter."

At halftime, Bill Walton analyzed.

"Ewing played quite easily today. Most of the offenses were created by Feilong. His physical fitness should be fine. Feilong also seems to be a physical monster, so he is fine. As long as the two of them don't have any problems, the Knicks will be fine." There should be no problem. So, judging from the situation in the first half, we can actually discuss the second round match between the Knicks and the Heat." Matt analyzed.

"Ha ha……"

Bill Walton laughed twice, and laughed again: "Swept by the Knicks, I don't think Magic fans will agree."

In the visiting team's locker room, Van Gundy is arranging tactics.

"In the third quarter, we focused on stability and defense..."

"Coach, the Magic started the first half and played the entire first half. Now their physical fitness and willpower are the most dangerous. Once we relax the rhythm, it is likely to give them a chance to breathe." Zhao Dong said at this time.

Van Gundy was taken aback. As a rookie coach, he didn't feel that his work was being provoked by Zhao Dong. He just said worriedly: "Feilong, do you want to continue to attack? Are you physically fit enough?"

"I'm okay, I didn't play much in the second half of the quarter just now, and now I have ten minutes to rest, I can do it." Zhao Dong said.

"What do you mean?" Thibodeau asked aside.

"Give me a few minutes, I'm going to play a quick break to see if I can destroy their morale." Zhao Dong said in a deep voice.

"Fast break?" Van Gundy hesitated.

Fast break consumes a lot of energy. Yesterday I had a bad rest. Zhao Dong played a full game in the first half. If he plays fast break now, if it doesn’t work, it’s over. The energy consumption is too high. The team collapsed.

"Coach, please give me three minutes. If it doesn't work, we'll wait." Zhao Dong fought.

"Oh well."

Van Gundy thought twice, and with the fourth quarter still to come, he agreed.

Ten minutes later, the third quarter began, and the Magic attacked.

After Penny hit a goal, Zhao Dong immediately led the team to play a fast break.

With his speed, the Magic's inside line couldn't keep up at all. With his impact, the Magic's outside line didn't dare to block his edge. His fast attack power, like a heavy armored vehicle, quickly destroyed all the Magic's defense lines.

"boom!"

One of the most brutal flat-basket dunks made the Magic fans silent, and the away fans roared with excitement.

In the next three minutes, he spared no expense in consuming his precious physical energy, and played this devastating fast break three times, blowing up the Magic's home court with only the carnival of the away fans.

On the other hand, the Magic, under such a terrifying attack, were physically and mentally exhausted. In addition, the Knicks defended with all their strength, so that they made repeated mistakes and failed to score one of the three offenses. The point difference has widened to 13 points.

"boom!"

It was another flying bomb after a breakthrough in a positional battle, and Magic center Binkali fell under the basket.

Standing under the hoop of the home team, Zhao Dong gasped for a few breaths, and shouted at his teammates: "Sweep! Let's sweep them together..."

"Sweep! Sweep..."

The shouts of the Knicks sounded at the Magic's home court, and the roar of thousands of away fans occupied the arena.

"Sweep!"

In New York, the three of Oakley also yelled in the private room of the nightclub.

"Come on Magic! Don't give up, we still have a chance..."

Only the desperate and frustrated roar of the on-site commentator remained in the sky above the court, which was the only sound belonging to the Magic.

Perhaps, there are still the heavy breathing of the Magic players, as well as the sighs and helpless abuse of the fans.

"The magic is over!"

On the TNT live broadcast, Bill Walton said flatly: "Their morale has been destroyed by this horrible attack.

Feilong switched to playing small forward, and now his threat is truly revealed, that is, looking at the entire league, no player can compete with him on the front line. "

Matt then roared excitedly: "From the beginning of the third quarter, the Knicks' heavy small forward Flying Dragon showed explosive scoring ability. He smashed the Magic's outside line and the Magic's inside line. One brutal dunk after another to destroy the Magic..."

The Chicago Bulls have no game tonight, except for Rodman, Phil Jackson organized all the other players to watch the game.

"Magic must prevent him from playing fast breaks. This kind of fast breaks kills too much, and it hurts morale too much for him to beat him in a row."

Phil Jackson's tone was somewhat serious.

Jordan looked relaxed. The Magic couldn't stop the impact of Zhao Dong's heavy small forward, and the Bulls couldn't stop it either. But the Bulls had him, and he didn't worry that the Bulls' morale would be destroyed by Zhao Dong like the magic.

If Zhao Dong fights the Bulls like this, he guarantees that the Knicks will be self-defeating, because his fast break is faster than Zhao Dong. He can be sure that the Knicks will collapse first.

"A talented leader superstar, with Michael here, he is destined not to belong to the Bulls." Phil Jackson sighed in his heart.

In Miami, Heat coach Pat Riley looked far more serious than Phil Jackson. Seeing Zhao Dong's terrifying impact, he felt like jumping off the sofa.

Heat, there is no one on the front line who can stop Zhao Dong, what should we do?

"Try to stabilize morale, as long as his physical energy consumption is too high, it is our chance." But after careful consideration, he felt relieved.

Because the Heat are not magic, the Heat have Mourning, a willpower madman, who can stabilize the morale of the army. He is not worried that the morale of the team will collapse.

A person's physical strength is limited, no matter how strong he is, he can't play this fast break many times. As long as the Heat can carry it down, they can find opportunities to counterattack.

"Shua!"

It was a fast break again, exhausting too much physical energy, this time Zhao Dong was not so fast, the Magic returned to defense faster and blocked him, but at this moment he made a pull-up jumper and pierced through the Magic's basket again .

"Damn, why is his pull-up jump shot so accurate?" Seeing this ball, Pat Riley frowned.

This is a real threat. The emergency stop jump shot in the breakthrough is used well. It is a real weapon to get rid of the defender, and it is very difficult to defend.

Under the leadership of Zhao Dong, the Knicks began to exert their strength in the third quarter, blowing up the Magic in one quarter.

He made 8 of 11 shots in a single quarter, made 3 of 4 free throws, played 7 fast breaks, and succeeded 6 of them. He scored 19 points in a single quarter. This is also his highest single quarter score and the highest score in a single quarter in the playoffs. .

With his efforts, the Knicks scored 33 points in this quarter, only allowing the Magic to score 15 points, 86:61, and the Magic trailed by 25 points. There was still a quarter in the game, but it had already entered garbage time.

This also symbolizes that the Magic were swept by the Knicks in the first round.

The fourth quarter has not yet begun, and the disappointed Magic fans have already left halfway and continue to exit.

At the end, 110:80, the Knicks won by 30 points, officially announcing a sweep of the Magic.

Zhao Dong only played two minutes in the fourth quarter. In 38 minutes, he made 16 of 25 shots, 64% from the field, 9 of 11 free throws, 41 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists, 3 steals, 4 blocks, 3 turnovers and 4 fouls.

He once again posted a triple-double, two consecutive triple-doubles, and averaged a triple-double in three games in the first-round series.

In the TNT live broadcast seat, Bill Walton praised authentically: "In the three games of the first series, the dragon averaged 41 minutes per game, made 13.3 of 22.3 shots, and hit 59.7% of the field. The rate is as high as 78%, averaging 34.3 points, 12.6 rebounds, 11.3 assists, 2.3 steals, 4 blocks, 3.6 turnovers and 4 fouls per game..."

Matt interjected in amazement: "The horrible triple-double per game, his data is even more terrifying than the first series of the Magician's rookie season."

Bill Walton said suddenly: "At that time, the magician led his team to defeat the Philadelphia digital team, but now, Feilong has encountered a more terrifying opponent. The Knicks want to beat the Bulls, and Feilong wants to challenge Jordan. Performance is also extremely difficult.”

Matt was startled, and nodded again and again: "If you want to beat the Bulls, the Knicks have to kill the Heat first. But in any case, this series is extremely successful for the dragon. We can say that New York fans and the media put him He was sent to the All-Star, but he proved through this series that he is a veritable All-Star superstar.

But what I want to say is that he lost the honor of the best rookie, but now the best team has not been selected. Will this data help the gentlemen participating in the selection to make the best choice? "

"Time is running out. After the second round, the best team will come out. Please choose carefully." Bill Wharton said.

In the CCTV live broadcast seat, Zhang Lili said excitedly: "It's great, I think our country has born a scoring maniac like the God of War Liu Yudong, and this is a guy who can score like crazy in the NBA playoffs. He is good at attacking and defending, and he is good at organizing passes and assists. We should recruit him to join the national team, and the relevant departments should pay attention to this.”

He knew some internal reasons, so he didn't care about it at this time, and directly shouted to the higher-ups in the live broadcast.

At the scene, Zhao Dong celebrated with his teammates and fans, and accepted live interviews from the media.

"Zhao Dong, congratulations, you averaged a triple-double in the series." Zhang Lili and the others also rushed over to congratulate you.

"Thank you, thank you, and thank you fans all over the country for their support." Zhao Dong greeted the camera and shouted:

"Please continue to support our Knicks. We will definitely make persistent efforts to kill the Heat in the second round and reach the Eastern Conference Finals."

"Flying Dragon, what do you think is the most important factor for the Knicks to sweep the Magic?" New York Athletic, who is also the Knicks team reporter Thomas asked.

"Because we have the strength to sweep them away." Zhao Dong said without hesitation.

"Did you encounter challenges on the front line in this series?" Thomas asked again.

"No, they have no one in the front line." Zhao Dong said.

"Do you think your strength can be compared to that of a magician?" Thomas asked again.

"The magician of that year?" Zhao Dong asked.

"Well, rookie season."

"Then let me say bluntly, my current strength can certainly be compared to the magician in the rookie season." Zhao Dong said bluntly.

"Oh?" There was an exclamation from the media.

"Then do you think you can win the championship and the honor of the most valuable goal player in the finals in the rookie season like the magician?"

The more Thomas asked, the more excited he became.

"Of course I am confident that I can beat the Bulls and Jordan." Zhao Dong briefly answered this question.

He knew that Thomas was not a thing, so the answer did not involve the Finals Most Valuable Player, and immediately ended the interview.

Back in the locker room, the team had already prepared Champagne, and when he came in, there was a Champagne rain immediately.

"It's a pity, Tita should be invited to come here to perform a champagne bath." The sullen Ewing said.

The boss, James Dowland, was also here, and he smiled after hearing this: "If we can win the championship, I promise to invite her to perform a champagne bath for you with a lot of money. What do you think?"

"Oh hoo!"

There was a wolf-like howl in the locker room.

"Boss, I think it would be best if this news can be announced before the finals. Our hormones can drown Jordan."

Zhao Dong complained.

"Haha..." The locker room burst into laughter.
