Chapter 255 Feilong’s Words Cut Off the Jazz’s Path to Championships in the Next 10 Years
In the 9th minute of the first quarter, at 24:15, the Knicks led by 9 points.
Zhao Dong played with high efficiency in the low post. He made 6 of 6 shots and 6 of 6 free throws in 9 minutes. He scored 18 points before the end of the quarter. One person's score has exceeded the score of the entire Jazz team.
After he scored 9 points in a row at the beginning, the Jazz adopted foul tactics, but his free throws made the Jazz's foul tactics bankrupt.
The postman who faced him only took three shots, missed one, and scored one point with two free throws.
During the official timeout, Bill Walton excitedly explained: "When Feilong returns to the low post, because he has comprehensive offensive skills and a bug advantage in speed, zone defense has little impact on him.
The defensive three seconds further improved his inside offense. With tactical cooperation, he achieved a super high shooting rate. "
"To put it simply, the postman was blown away and the Jazz was blown away." Matt laughed.
"Obviously, the low-post offensive tactics created by Nelson for the Feilong were very successful. The Jazz obviously have not adapted to the interior defense under the three-second defensive rule. Their interior defense was fragmented and useless under the Feilong's offense."
Bill Walton said mercilessly: "Under the league's repeated rules restricting Feilong, when Feilong was restricted to the low post on the offensive end, it still played so poorly, which shows that the Jazz are just pretending to be strong and really do not deserve to win the championship. "
Matt explained in a sarcastic tone: "The Postman was beaten offensively and defensively. If he can't prove himself with outstanding performances in the future, he will be exactly in line with the position Feilong gave him, a pseudo-superstar, a role player, and a star." Cake Man and so on.”
"It's just a regular season team. It's going to stretch your legs when you enter the playoffs, especially the finals." Bill Walton laughed.
"These two guys are so annoying!"
"I thought Bill Walton supported us and pushed for the league to introduce restrictive rules, but now it seems that I was wrong, he is a piece of shit."
"Matt isn't a good guy either. He's a dog from New York."
"Two sons of bitches."
"Postman, kill them with your CIC!"
In Utah, countless Jazz fans began to curse Bill Walton and Matt for mocking the Jazz and the Postman.
"postman,
What are you doing, sleepwalking? "
"Postman, are you really a fake superstar?"
"Work harder and let Feilong know that you are a super giant, not a waste."
"Trash, no wonder Feilong looks down on you."
"You have been scared out of your wits by Feilong. You should retire and don't be embarrassed here."
"Trash, if you leave here I will burn your jersey."
But at the Delta State Arena, many fans were dissatisfied with Karl Malone's performance, and they even began to abuse him.
"Why are you scolding me?"
The postman sitting on the bench looked back blankly at the fans, many of whom were wearing his jersey, who were insulting him.
He didn't understand that he had tried his best to defend and couldn't guard Feilong. It was not his fault.
Jerry Sloan advised earnestly: "Karl, wake up and be tough again. Even if you can't attack offensively, we need your defense.
Don't be afraid of that guy, this is the court, this is a game, as long as your movements don't go towards his vitals, he can't do anything to you. "
"Carl, what have we been doing all these years? Just to play loser in front of that guy? No, we're doing it for a championship."
John Stockton grabbed the postman's shoulders and growled: "You're acting like a pussy now. Get your toughness back. Don't act like a sheep. That's not you."
"Hoo ho..."
Under the insults of his fans and the encouragement of his coaches and teammates, the postman's breathing became heavy, his heart beat violently, and his blood surged.
The timeout ended, half of the main players and half of the substitutes from both sides came on.
The Jazz attacked, and Zhao Dong still faced off against the Jazz.
Jeff Horasek hit a three-pointer through the pick-and-roll and made one of three three-pointers. This was his first three-pointer today.
24:18, Knicks attack.
Zhao Dong is still in the low post. He does not ask for the ball in a fixed position, but keeps moving, giving full play to his mobile advantages. At the same time, he uses his running to tear the Jazz's defensive formation to pieces.
After getting rid of the postman, he came to the free throw line and took the next step, turning around and shooting a jumper.
But at this moment, the postman pounced on him and threw him to the ground with the ball.
This movement is so fierce that it is either directed at the ball or at the person, similar to the collision between offensive and defensive forwards in rugby.
"Bang!"
Zhao Dong hit the floor. Under the pressure of Ma Long's impact and weight, the huge pressure made his breathing stop.
"husband?"
On the sidelines, Lindsay was so frightened that she stood up and her face turned pale.
Dayao and Dazhi were also frightened and stood up.
"yeah!"
All the Jazz fans in the audience roared wildly.
"That's it, fuck him!"
"Postman, this is you."
"Karl Malone, kill that Chinese guy."
Countless Postman fans roared wildly.
"What does the postman want to do? This is the collision action of an NFL defensive forward. Does he want to hit the flying dragon?" Bill Walton said in great surprise.
"They're serious," Matt yelled.
"damn it!"
"Get away!"
When Oakley and Ben saw it, they immediately rushed over, and the two of them worked together to knock over Postman Malone.
"Boss, are you okay?" Daben asked anxiously.
"fine."
Zhao Dong's face was a little pale, but he quickly regained his color and stood up with the help of the two.
He looked at the sidelines and shook his head at Lindsay, who then sat down.
"Feilong, the finals begin now, welcome to the Utah Jazz."
Next to him, Ma Long stared at Zhao Dong like a fighting beast, his eyes red.
"I will kill him in his own way."
After being provoked, Oakley and Ben immediately went up to teach the postman a lesson, but were stopped by Zhao Dong.
Zhao Dong didn't hold back what he said. Karl Malone couldn't help but shrink his eyes when he heard it.
The postman clenched his fists and said firmly, without flinching, "You do it."
"The postman seems different. Is the old postman back?"
Bill Walton said with some surprise: "He has been punished by Feilong in the past two seasons, especially this time Feilong formed a huge legal team, which frightened him. This change should be caused by the fans' defection just now. Bar?"
"I'm still not willing to accept it. In the finals, I was eliminated last year and will be eliminated again this year. I'm afraid no one is willing to accept this kind of failure." Matt said.
"But this is too dangerous. This is no longer a defensive behavior in basketball. This is a collision in the NFL. This can kill people. The referee should severely punish this behavior, otherwise there will be big problems tonight." Bill Walton warned.
"agree."
Matt nodded immediately and said seriously: "Even in the NFL, players are protected by a full set of protective gear, but not here. This kind of action must be prohibited."
On the court, the referee hesitated for a moment and then made a penalty, an ordinary physical foul.
"This won't work. This will cause problems. The referee is indulging the postman." Bill Walton said sternly.
"Maybe it was a home whistle. After all, the postman was sent off, so the Jazz didn't have to play at all." Matt said.
"That's at least a first-level flagrant foul, but now there's not even an ordinary T. This is connivance." Bill Walton said seriously.
Zhao Dong made a free throw and made both free throws. At 26:18, the Jazz attacked.
The postman ran continuously, and then Zhao Dong suddenly paused intentionally, allowing the former to get an open position.
"Chance!"
John Stockton has quick eyes and quick hands. With a push of his hand, the ball came over.
The moment the postman caught the ball, Zhao Dong rushed forward.
The postman made the same move as when he pounced on him just now, directly hitting him with his body, just like an NFL defensive lineman rushing into an offensive lineman. It was brutal, violent, ferocious, and iron-blooded. It was the most intense physical confrontation sport on the planet.
The powerful explosive power was displayed in front of everyone at this moment.
Like a super jaguar, Zhao Dong jumped on the postman and knocked him down instantly.
"Bang!"
Just like Zhao Dong just now, the postman hit the floor, hit the back of his head on the floor, and then slid back three meters to the front of the Jazz bench, knocking down Jerry Sloan on the sidelines like a bowling ball. and an assistant coach.
"Well!"
A large number of gold stars popped out of his head after being thrown, and the huge impact force caused his chest to almost collapse. All the air in his chest was forced out in an instant, and a chicken cry was squeezed out of his throat.
"oh!"
Huge exclamations erupted from the entire audience.
"I just said there was going to be a problem."
Bill Walton stood up and said angrily.
"Am I going to die?"
At this moment, the postman suspected that he was going to die.
"Oh..."
The next moment, his chest rose and fell, and a large amount of air surged up. He felt like he was reborn, and he couldn't wait to take a big breath, and the color began to return to his pale face.
"Cough cough cough..."
But just halfway through, a violent cough interrupted his inhalation.
Zhao Dong got up from the postman. When he saw that the other party looked like something big was going to happen, he didn't bother to say anything. He picked up his pants and walked away.
"Cough cough cough..."
The postman coughed with all his strength. He felt a dull pain all over his ribs, as if he had been crushed by a heavy truck. It felt like he was being crushed to pieces.
"doctor!"
The referee ran over, glanced at the postman, and quickly asked the Jazz team doctor to come up and take a look.
He regretted not punishing the postman just now. If he continued like this, he might cause a big trouble. If he killed one of them, his career might be ended.
"Team doctor!"
Head coach Jerry Sloan got up in embarrassment, saw the postman's appearance, and quickly turned around and shouted.
The team doctor had already ran over. After checking, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The shortness of breath caused by too rapid breathing is nothing serious.
But the collision just now was too fierce. If it happens again, there may be big problems. You have all watched NFL games and you should all know this.
For example, broken ribs and sternum, ruptured alveoli, concussion, cracked internal organs, internal bleeding, etc. These are all possible consequences of a strong collision.
Therefore, I suggest you stop that kind of brutal collision. The explosive power of Feilong is far greater than yours. No one can guarantee whether you can walk off the court alive. "
The last words were spoken to the postman whose breathing had calmed down.
"Karl, I asked you to be tough, not to do this."
Jerry Sloan looked a little unhappy and warned: "Stop this meaningless action immediately and use real defensive actions to let him know how tough you are."
Zou almost nodded. He was scared just now. It really seemed as if he had been in a car accident. Now his whole body was still sore and weak. His whole chest had changed from pain to numbness. He might not be able to fight this time.
The team doctor added at this time: "My final suggestion is that the postman cannot fight anymore in this game. He just fell on his head and should go to the hospital for examination now."
Zhao Dong has already led his team back to his bench, and the Knicks team doctor is also examining him.
Lindsay stood aside, fearful that something might happen to Zhao Dong during the collision.
But fortunately, Zhao Dong is focused on breathing. This is a problem caused by excessive physical energy consumption in an instant, and there are no other problems.
"Husband, don't do this next time, you will get injured. Jets players retire due to injuries every year. Last season, a player was hit and injured his lungs. Now he can only rely on a ventilator to survive. You It’s not that I don’t know.”
Lindsay looked pale and kept urging.
"I know, I know." Zhao Dong said quickly.
The team doctor next to him also kept reminding him not to do this kind of collision on the NFL field. Without any protective gear, the chance of injury or even death is very high.
Even with protective gear, many players in the NFL have become disabled or even died throughout the year.
Next, Jazz replaced the postman and took him to the hospital.
Without the postman, the Jazz finally suffered a big defeat, 75:95, losing by 20 points.
The Knicks have won two consecutive games on the road and will have three home games next.
Like the G1 game, Zhao Dong clocked in for three quarters and left the game after ensuring the victory. Because the postman did not play, he did not focus on the attack with all his strength later. His statistics were average and he only produced a 20+ triple-double.
"Feilong, you hit the postman with a rugby collision, causing him to leave the field injured. Have you ever considered his safety? Do you think such a victory is fair?"
asked a local reporter in an angry tone during the post-match interview.
"So the media in Salt Lake City confuse right and wrong like this?" Zhao Dong said coldly.
"You?" the reporter was angry.
Zhao Dong continued to say coldly: "The postman once elbowed me on the back of the head, and you didn't condemn him for a word. He broke someone's ribs this season, and you didn't condemn him for a word. He elbowed me countless times. Man, you didn't condemn him for a word. In this game, he was the first to tackle me with a rugby tackle, and you didn't condemn him.
Now, you come to condemn me? Do you want face? Oh, I get it, you have no shame at all, because you have no shame to ask for. "
The faces of several local reporters turned dark. They had never seen a star who insulted people to death in person. Are they so ungentlemanly?
"I'm going to put this here just to show you the shamelessness of the media. As long as I'm in this league, the Jazz and the Postman will never win the championship. We are lifelong enemies."
Zhao Dong's last words offended all the local media.
But at this time, Zhao Dong ended the on-site interview and was too lazy to pay attention to them.
In terms of media influence, what is Salt Lake City? Can't even get out of Utah.
"A lifelong enemy is a lifelong enemy. Are we afraid of him?"
After the game, at the Jazz's press conference, John Stockton was angry after receiving the news.
At 9 a.m. on June 6, the Bulls officially announced that they had reached a contract buyout agreement with Ewing, and the remaining two $40 million contracts were bought out for $31 million.
Ewing became a completely free agent, and the Bulls received 40 million in salary space. Many stars in the free market have set their sights on the Bulls, and even their agents began to actively contact the Bulls management.
"Gorilla enters the retirement stage, and only three of the four super centers are left."
"Ewing had no hope of revenge and was abandoned again."
"Feilong said that he, the postman and the knight have become lifelong enemies."
"Lifelong enemies, this means that all players who hope to win the championship will not consider joining the Jazz."
"Feilong's words will cut off the Jazz's path to championships in the next ten years."
This morning, in addition to the news about Ewing, Zhao Dong's words of "lifelong enemy" were also widely spread by the media.
Magic Johnson accepted an interview with the media and said: "Feilong's words will have a great impact on the Jazz. With Feilong's super physique, he is only twenty years old and can maintain his peak condition for at least ten years.
In other words, any player who joins the Jazz must consider one issue. You will be blocked by Feilong, and winning the championship will be your biggest problem. "
Larry Bird said to the media: "I dare to say that the Jazz will collapse after the Finals, just like the Bulls."
