Chapter 323: Destroy the Twin Towers and Rule the Restricted Area
The timeout ends and the Spurs attack.
This time, the Spurs' offensive tactics have changed. Although it is still a low-post twin tower tactic, the ball is not handed over to the twin towers. Instead, the young general Johnson makes a breakthrough with the ball.
The Twin Towers separated the defense from left to right. The young general broke through the basket and attracted the defense. He had the opportunity to attack by himself but had no chance to pass the ball to the Twin Towers.
Billups didn't follow up. Seeing young general Johnson break into the paint, Zhao Dong immediately returned to defend the basket.
But his return to defense was exquisite. He was not very fast and did not enter the basket first. Instead, he stood between Duncan and Johnson, and moved toward the basket as the general broke through to the basket.
In this way, if the young general Johnson wants to pass the ball to Duncan, he can only drop the ball and cannot pass the ball through.
Although this kind of defense will be a step slower and the little general will get to the basket first, Zhao Dong is confident that he can block the opponent's ball from behind.
At the same time, Billups, who was surprised, immediately changed defense and pounced on Duncan who was open.
Therefore, Duncan's opening was only less than half a second. The chance was not big, just a small opening.
The young general Johnson glanced at Duncan's position. It was difficult to pass the ball, so he could only continue to break through. When he got to the basket, he made a layup.
"Snapped!"
Zhao Dong rose up from behind, slapped the rising ball onto the backboard, and then grabbed it.
"Beautiful, big nail plate hat!" Zhang Lili said excitedly.
The Knicks' offense still relies on the high-low twin tower tactics.
This time, Duncan defended Zhao Dong, Robinson lingered in the low post on the right wing and the basket, letting Fordson take two steps, and Malikros defended Dazai in the high post.
At this time, Robinson in the paint area left the basket because he was defending for three seconds. The Madman suddenly started cutting in from the right wing and instantly cut into the paint area. David Robinson was unable to return to the basket to defend.
"boom!"
Zhao Dong passed the ball, and the madman received the ball with a one-arm dunk.
"Look, what I said is right, right?" Zhang Lili smiled excitedly.
Looking back, Duncan hit a hit on Zhao Dong's head.
When it was time for the Knicks to attack again, Zhao Dong held the ball facing the basket on the left wing two steps away from the paint area.
At this time, Robinson left the paint area because of three seconds of defense. Zhao Dong seized the opportunity and stepped past Duncan and headed towards the basket.
Duncan hurriedly tugged on it, but Zhao Dong slapped him open.
Robinson quickly returned to defend the basket. When he reached the reasonable collision area, Zhao Dong had already entered the paint area and took off after one step.
The two met in the sky above the reasonable collision zone. Robinson's bounce was no longer good. Duncan's defensive height was a head and a half behind Zhao Dong, and he was even a head and a half behind. His head only reached Zhao Dong's chest.
This lack of defensive height puts him in a more disadvantageous situation in aerial confrontation.
"Bang!"
With a huge impact, Zhao Dong hit Robinson from top to bottom. The latter was knocked over instantly, his upper body leaned back, and he fell from the air.
The second time he exerted force in the air, with a bang, the moment Zhao Dong smashed the ball into the basket, Robinson also fell heavily to the floor, landing on his back. He almost lost his breath after the fall, and he couldn't breathe out. It made him very uncomfortable, and he rolled his eyes.
"yeah!"
The Knicks dunked over the Admiral again, and the entire Knicks audience was in an uproar.
"Ho, ho, ho, it's another most devastating dunk against the basket. The flying dragon dunks over Admiral David Robinson. He is dominating the Spurs penalty area..."
The on-site commentator roared with excitement.
Amid the crazy cheers of the fans, Zhao Dong stood under the basket, glanced coldly at Robinson, who was struggling to get up, and then glanced at the Spurs players around him. Wherever he looked, the Spurs players did not dare to look at him. They all avoided it.
"Fuck the Spurs!"
Zhao Dong raised his fist and shouted sternly.
"Fuck the Spurs!"
The audience responded with a roar, and the momentum of the Knicks' home court rose to the extreme, as if just one spark could ignite it.
"General Robinson can no longer play and was substituted. Now half of the Spurs' twin towers have collapsed. The Spurs are no longer good. Now the Knicks are ahead by twenty points. This game is over."
In the TNT live broadcast booth, Bill Walton said decisively when he saw Robinson being helped off the field.
Matt laughed: "The current ratings are 43 million, which is not as high as the Eastern Conference Finals. I bet that from now on, the game will be one-sided. The Spurs will probably give up in the fourth quarter, and the ratings will quickly Decline.”
Sure enough, Matt was right. After Popovich determined that Robinson could not play this game, he decisively replaced Duncan and announced that he would give up the G1 game.
After Duncan went off, Zhao Dong was also replaced and did not play again until the end of the game.
He made 17 of 21 shots in 31 minutes, a terrible 80% shooting rate, and 10 of 10 free throws. He scored a double-double of 44 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals, 4 blocks, 1 turnover and 3 fouls.
Zhang Lijia concluded after the game: "In this G1 game, the Spurs failed tactically and allowed Zhao Dong to play with such high efficiency. Popovich should bear the responsibility.
Old Nelson is really strong. He used the Spurs' high-low twin tower tactics and used Zhao Dong and Da Zhi's stronger stretching ability to completely stretch the Spurs' interior defense, making it impossible for the Spurs to double-team Zhao Dong. This is tonight The Spurs' tactics failed, allowing Zhao Dong to play extremely efficiently.
The Spurs couldn't even double-team Zhao Dong in the low post, let alone limit Zhao Dong's ability to escape as Duncan said before. "
Sun Zhenping said: "The Spurs Twin Towers are still powerful. The two of them took 32 shots combined and hit 16 of them. The shooting rate reached 50%. Together with free throws, they scored 49 points."
Zhang Lili added: "Da Zhi performed well today. He made 6 of 11 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, and 3 of 4 free throws. He scored 17 points. He got a lot of small open opportunities today, mainly in the high post. When shooting, this hit rate is very good from the outside, and the Spurs dare not let him go."
Sun Zhenping smiled and said: "It is precisely because he contained the Spurs in the high position that Zhao Dong was able to avoid being double-teamed in the low position.
But Director Zhang, you said that he has become the starting center in the finals. Is there any chance of starting next season? "
Zhang Li thought for a while and shook his head: "You have to know that when he starts in the playoffs, Zhao Dong needs to invest more energy on the defensive end. This is impossible in the regular season. It is impossible for the Knicks to Throughout the long regular season, Zhao Dong's physical fitness was excessively consumed, so there was little chance of starting in the regular season. Of course, he will definitely get the chance to start, but he will not occupy the starting position for a long time.
If he wants to be the starting center on a championship team like the Knicks, which places a lot of emphasis on defense, his defense must be honed to at least a quasi-first-class level. His defense is still a bit poor now. "
The two of them didn't know that Zhao Dong had already planned to let Da Zhi leave the Knicks, so there was no outcome to this issue at all.
“Efficiency still wins.”
In the TNT live broadcast, Bill Walton said: "Appropriate tactics allowed Feilong to achieve amazing efficiency. The Spurs were not unjustly defeated."
Matt said: "The Knicks' overall shooting percentage reached 58%, and the Spurs' 51%. In addition, turnovers, rebounds, etc. were not conducive to the Spurs. The Spurs did not lose unfairly. Obviously, in this game, the Knicks played for better performance.”
Zhao Dong was interviewed at the scene.
The New York Times reporter asked in a surprised tone: "Feilong, of your 21 shots, 11 of them went directly to the basket, 10 of which were successful, 4 of which were fast breaks, all of which were successful, and only 6 of which were jump shots from the edge of the paint area." , beaten 3 times.
In other words, there were 15 attacks at the basket, and 14 of them were successful. The shooting rate at the basket was as high as 93%, the near-basket and mid-range shooting was 50%, and the overall shooting rate was 80%. Such a desperate hit. Rate, how did you do it? "
Zhao Dong smiled and said: "The tactical success is more due to the coaching staff. This is a reflection of their abilities. I am just the tactical executor."
"Can you be more specific?" asked a reporter next to me.
Zhao Dong looked at the logo on the microphone. It was a reporter from the San Antonio Sports News. He smiled and said: "I'm afraid not. If you want to know, you can ask after the finals."
The reporter rolled his eyes. What the hell am I asking after the finals? mean!
"Feilong, are you willing to accept the title of God of Efficiency now?" CCTV's Yang Yi asked with a smile.
Zhao Dong laughed and said with a smile: "Let's talk about it after the dynasty successfully defends its title."
An hour later, the two teams' post-match press conference began.
The Knicks press conference hall was overcrowded, while the Spurs press conference hall was a little deserted.
Duncan looked at the thirty or so reporters and cameramen in front of him and sighed inwardly.
His contract will end next season, and he will become a restricted free agent next year's offseason, and he will have a chance to re-elect.
Now, his agent team has discussed this issue with him many times. Specifically, they hope that he will test the free market next year and find a larger football market, so as to explore his commercial value. .
Now in the Spurs, his commercial value is very low. The shoe contract given by Nike is very small and not worth mentioning at all. There are no other sponsorship contracts. The main income is his rookie contract.
He has promised his agent team that he will test the free market next year. The reason is simple. He also wants to make more money and get a bigger sneaker contract.
Sneaker contracts symbolize status. He is envious of those who can get tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars in sneaker contracts before entering the league, such as Vince Vent and Yao Min.
If Zhao Dong knew what he was thinking now, he would only laugh at him. Let’s not talk about your playing style and dull personality. You wear some colorful and strange clothes bought from street stalls all day long, and you have to wear them. One size bigger, your temperament is as low as the floor, plus the insider doesn't sell shoes, who the hell gives you a big contract? Nike will definitely not do it anyway, and I will fire anyone who dares to give it to me.
He knows that Duncan did not have a signed sneaker contract before he retired, but he is not the worst, the veteran is the worst. Such a big superstar has never gotten a signed sneaker contract, and Adidas will not give it to him. .
The first reporter to ask a question at this time was the San Antonio Sports News reporter who had just interviewed Zhao Dong at the scene. He asked: "Coach Popovich, why did you let Feilong play so efficiently tonight?"
After the game ended for so long, Popovich still looked ugly. He said: "I didn't expect the Knicks to play our tactics, and they created a lot of space in the low and high posts, and our defense was stretched. , unable to form enough defensive pressure on Feilong in the low post."
"In other words, is it a tactical failure?" the reporter asked.
"..."
Popovich was silent for a moment, then nodded with an ugly face: "Yes."
"So how will you solve this problem?" the reporter asked again.
"That can't be said here, we will make targeted tactical changes." Popovich said.
Across the way, in the Knicks press conference hall, the atmosphere was very lively.
"Feilong, I had a big feud with Popovich tonight, but you just smashed a board. Isn't that too little?" The first person to ask the question was team reporter Thomas. His question made everyone laugh. stand up.
Zhao Dong smiled and said: "Thomas, this is the finals. If I break the game into pieces, I'm afraid it will affect the ratings. Just replace him with a board."
"Coach Nelson, why did you think of playing a high-low twin tower tactic?" The second question was from a reporter from the New York Times.
Nelson smiled and said: "The tactics are built based on the technical characteristics of our players, and the purpose of the tactics is to allow the players to use their technical characteristics.
In the high-low two-tower tactic, Wang has three-pointers, height and cutting ability. When he is in the high post, the Spurs must let an inside defender guard him instead of an outside guard. Then he can contain the Spurs' inside defense to the greatest extent. , In this way, Feilong got a singles opportunity in the low post.
Facts have proved that our tactics were successful and achieved our tactical goals. Feilong rarely suffered double-teams in this game and he played with amazing efficiency. "
"Coach Nelson, how do you evaluate Wang?" The third question was Yang Yi.
"king?"
Old Nelson smiled and pondered for a while, and said: "His offense is good, including his shots in confrontation, there are no blind spots in the half court, and his shooting range is on the three-point line. The important thing is that his defense is also improving, which is very beneficial to him. Important. If given the right tactics, he can play an important role. I like his type of player.
For example, today, after he was pulled out, he could form a high-defense turret on the outside. When Robinson defended him, the effect was okay. He had little chance, but he also contained Robinson. This is his role.
Later, in order to liberate Robinson, the Spurs arranged for Malik Rose to be the defensive king. Rose was only 201 centimeters tall, which was too far behind. He had the height mismatch advantage, and then he shot a lot of balls over Rose's head, which was very efficient. Gao, I am very satisfied with his performance today. He is one of the important reasons for winning today. "
"What's your evaluation of Feilong's performance?" Yang asked again and again.
"Flying dragon?"
Nelson shook his head and sighed: "In the offseason of 1997, I received a call from the general manager, Mr. Grant, and he asked me to come back.
You know he fired me in the 1996 offseason. At that time, the Knicks locker room was ostracizing me, led by Ewing, because I wanted to trade him for O'Neal.
I was outside the Mavericks headquarters when I got the call, and I got out of there without hesitation.
I know now that I made the right decision and had the opportunity to coach a superstar as great as Jordan.
Feilong's omnipotence gives me the fullest opportunity to use it tactically. I can use various tactics at will according to the opponent's weaknesses, with almost no restrictions.
I can use him as a defender, then he is a combo guard with extremely powerful offensive power and explosive organizational ability.
I can also use him as a small forward, so that our opponents will face the most terrifying impact and at the same time have the function of organizing the small forward.
And when I put him in the low post, you saw, he played his best performance tonight, and the powerful Spurs twin towers fell at his feet. "
The next day, the 9th, the media fully reported on the finals.
"80.9% shooting rate, 93% shooting rate at the basket, and 71% offensive share at the basket. This is the dominance of Feilong, the No. 1 player on active duty and the god of efficiency."
The New York Times gave the game a front-page headline.
"The God of Efficiency used his dominance to completely destroy the Spurs Twin Towers." New York Sports.
Regardless of genre or major, almost all New York media covered the game, and even the Wall Street Journal couldn't help but get involved.
All the New York media unanimously called Zhao Dong the number one active player and the God of Efficiency without any scruples.
And with the global influence of New York media, especially the New York Times, more and more media and fans have begun to quote the number one active player and the god of efficiency, and this influence is worldwide.
This is also the advantage of the Knicks. They are located in New York, the world's largest city and the world's largest financial center. As long as they have strength, they can get the attention of the world, and they can't keep a low profile even if they want to.
Zhao Dong's world influence, driven by the New York media, is rising step by step and is unstoppable.
Stern has ordered that all efforts be made to promote Zhao Dong globally.
With Jordan retiring, only Zhao Dong is left. If we want the league to go global, we must push him even if we don't push him.
Zhao Dong didn't get up until ten in the morning, and at noon, agent Ringo Wells arrived.
"Feilong, we have already found a group of people you want, and we can arrange for them to go to China to work in batches on a regular basis." Wells said.
"Then you can make arrangements and just contact my brother." Zhao Dong said.
The people he asked Wells to find were trainers, rehabilitation specialists, and this time he also added doctors who were good at treating sports injuries.
The Dongcheng training base has been expanded. A new base has been built, just on the third ring road, with more than 500 acres of land. The General Administration has sought special approval from the city. It also includes a training base for projects that were not available before, which can accommodate thousands of people. Training for various projects.
The people he found were all willing to work in China after paying several times the salary in the United States, and they also went in batches, working from a quarter to half a year at a time.
In addition to people, he also purchased a large amount of equipment, including a batch of top-notch medical examination instruments, which cost nearly 40 million U.S. dollars. These medical equipment are not available in some well-known tertiary hospitals in the country and are the first introduction in the country.
Such a large investment is unbelievable in the current domestic sports world. You must know that the domestic foreign exchange reserves last year were less than 200 billion US dollars.
