Chapter 382: A Shot in a Double-Team of 5 People

Half an hour later, the game started, O'Neal won the jump ball this time, and the Lakers attacked.

On the defensive end, of course Zhao Dong is still the center, and he is indispensable for interior defense.

In the G2 game, Nelson put forward higher demands on him. On the defensive end, he conducted the toughest defense against O'Neal from the beginning and consumed O'Neal's physical energy from the beginning.

Like a bulldozer, O'Neal starts from the low post on the left wing and advances inward. The position is very strong. He must attack at the basket with a higher proportion. This is the only way to win.

Zhao Dong leaned down and tried his best to push against the giant beast in front of him. The veins on his neck as thick as a finger were exposed, but even so, he could not withstand O'Neal's crushing force.

Every muscle contest between the two consumes a lot of physical energy.

It took about one second and a half, O'Neal took two small steps towards the basket, about 1.3 meters away, less than two meters away from the basket, very close. At this time, the ball came down, and he immediately caught the ball. He jumped up, hit a sideways hook, and hit the first ball.

Zhao Dong took off to block the shot but failed to touch the ball. O'Neal's height and wingspan gave him an advantage. Before O'Neal's physical energy was consumed, his efficiency in defending O'Neal would not be too high. He could only try his best to reduce his efficiency and consume Its physical ability.

As the other half of the OK team, after the Lakers lost the G1 game, Kobe held his breath and wanted to get back a win on the road.

Returning to the defensive end, he and Harper switched defenses and faced Zhao Dong.

Phil Jackson did not arrange for Ben to guard Zhao Dong. Especially when Zhao Dong was playing point guard, Ben had no chance to recover after being surprised.

And small forward Glenn Rice's defense is not very good, so he can only let Kobe defend it.

But Kobe's height is only 198 centimeters, which is 7 centimeters behind Zhao Dong. His wingspan is only 211 centimeters, which is another 9 centimeters behind Zhao Dong. The difference in tonnage and strength is even greater.

His weight now is 92 kilograms, which is 5 kilograms heavier than when he entered the league, but he is still 23 kilograms behind Zhao Dong. This is a huge gap, especially when Zhao Dong has the speed of a top defender.

It can be said that with Zhao Dong's impact, as long as he touches Kobe when he breaks through, Kobe may be knocked away.

Of course, the Flying Dragon Law limits Zhao Dong's breakthrough advantage of using tonnage and strength when he is at a high position, so this advantage is gone.

Kobe can only compete with Zhao Dong in terms of movement speed.

This is also his ability to defend Zhao Dong at a high position, because Zhao Dong's shots are always as close to the basket as possible, and there are many breakthroughs, but he cannot knock him away to make breakthroughs.

Jordan couldn't guard against Zhao Dong's breakthrough, and was often caught in one step. This was because when Jordan encountered Zhao Dong, he had already passed his peak of thirty years old and was slow.

And Kobe is only 22 years old now. Due to several consecutive years of additional training, he has begun to enter his peak in both technical and physical fitness. He is confident that he can keep up with Zhao Dong's breakthrough speed.

Because he believed in Kobe, Phil Jackson arranged for Kobe to defend Zhao Dong alone on the outside in this G2 game.

But the Lakers did not play the man-to-man defense tactics of the G1 game, but a mixed defense, which was a defensive tactic that integrated zone defense and man-to-man defense. Kobe defended Zhao Dong alone, and the others played in the league.

"Bang bang..."

Zhao Dong leaned over and dribbled the ball while spewing trash talk: "Kobe boy, you can't keep up with me no matter how hard you pretend to have two legs."

"What will I become if I pretend to have two legs?"

Kobe is angry, are you scolding me? Damn Feilong, I want to kill the gods tonight!

"squeak!"

Just as Kobe was angry, amidst the harsh friction of his sneakers, Zhao Dong stepped forward.

Kobe didn't dare to reach out randomly. He is far inferior to Zhao Dong in terms of league status. This is Zhao Dong's home court. The result of reaching out randomly is that the whistle will sound. The whistle for illegal hands in high positions is now very strict, not to mention Zhao Dong. From a god of efficiency?

As soon as Zhao Dong broke through the top of the arc, the Lakers immediately shrank their defense. All five players, including Kobe, who turned around and chased after him, shrank.

This is Phil Jackson's zone defense. Once Zhao Dong breaks through Kobe, he immediately executes the five-team and one-maximum double-team in Jordan's rules.

They would rather let other Knicks get open on the outside than let Zhao Dong take a shot from close to the basket.

But Zhao Dong is now full of confidence. Without the badge of dominance, he is still full of confidence. He has the determination, will and confidence to challenge the Lakers one-on-one. He faced the defense of five and one and took action.

Without him, the system has a mission, and he must perform at a dominant level. It is impossible for him to distribute the ball as soon as the Lakers double-team him.

After two steps to the free throw line, he jumped up. This was the only opportunity before the five-team double-team was formed. As long as he took another step forward, he would face the most terrifying double-team defense.

When he reached the highest point of the jump, he threw it with one hand, and the basketball hit the board and bounced, with a swipe, and went hollow into the basket.

In this five-on-one situation, he can only use the hitting technique with the highest hit rate and the highest technical level, and he can no longer care about the enjoyment.

"You guys let me go? Damn it, you made my shot soulless."

After scoring a goal against five, Zhao Dong's excitement instantly exploded. After he succeeded, he started trash-talking all the Lakers players.

"..."

O'Neal and the other five people's noses were all crooked with anger.

"It's beautiful. He scored a goal in a one-on-five game. Zhao Dong's rebounding skills are really unparalleled in the world." Zhang Lili admired.

"I think it's better than Duncan's." Su Qun said with a smile.

"Haha, let me tell you, some media have reported that Duncan has learned Zhao Dong's playing skills. I don't know if it is true."

Zhang Lili smiled.

Looking back, Kobe singled Stackhouse and hit a goal.

"Guard me hard. I hope you can make every shot of mine have its own unique soul. Don't be like a fool and get caught by me every time."

On the offensive end of the Knicks, Zhao Dong started talking trash again.

Kobe was so angry that his nose was filled with fire. He rushed forward half a step, reached out and reached for Zhao Dong's ball.

But Zhao Dong reacted quickly, turned around, and directly passed Kobe who took the risk to steal, passed the top of the key, and went straight to the paint area.

"Damn it, I got fooled!" Kobe cursed secretly, turned around and chased after him.

Another extreme double-team, this time the contraction was faster. Before Zhao Dong could reach the free throw line, Harper came to his right and copied the ball that he was dribbling toward the floor.

Instinctively, he leaned over and reached out, pulled the ball back dangerously, took a step forward, reached the free throw line, and left Harper behind.

However, due to the action of saving the ball, he stopped at the free throw line and lost the opportunity to continue to rush in. Ben was already in front, and the encirclement of O'Neal and other Lakers players had been formed.

At this time, if he jumps up and takes a shot, he will definitely be blocked by O'Neal and Big Ben.

Still, he jumped.

Sure enough, O'Neal and Ben jumped at the same time, and four big hands covered all the channels in front, blocking the direction of his shot.

At the same time, Kobe and Harper from behind also jumped up and wanted to hit him from behind.

On the left, there are also the big hands of Glen Rice.

Ten big hands have blocked all his shots and passing routes.

However, even so, Zhao Dong believed that he still had a chance.

When being blocked by ten big hands, he retracted his arm, shrank the ball he raised, hid it in his arms, and dodged all the blocks.

O'Neal, who weighed the most, was the first to be dragged to the floor by the earth's gravity.

Going down, the second one is Ben, the third one is Glen Rice, the fourth one is Harper, and the last one is Kobe.

However, when Kobe fell down, there was still someone in the sky, and that was Zhao Dong.

The powerful ability to stay in the air allowed Zhao Dong to get the last chance to take action. He stretched out his hand again and threw the ball towards the backboard before his feet landed.

Before the ball even hit the backboard, his feet landed on the ground. In the next moment, with a bang, the basketball hit the backboard and bounced, hollow into the basket.

"yeah!"

Once again, he scored a goal in a one-on-five game. Even though it was an unappreciative shot, this heroic one-on-five goal still made the home fans cheer wildly.

"Another soulless shot! With such a lousy defense, you still want to win the championship?" After Zhao Dong succeeded, he immediately started talking trash again.

This face-to-face provocation and humiliating trash talk made the eyes of the five Lakers players turn red.

"He jumped first, but he landed last. What a terrifying ability to stay in the air!" Smith laughed in admiration.

"Ho ho ho, our ratings are skyrocketing. It has exceeded 60 million again. Almost all Americans are watching our games."

Buckley roared excitedly.

"The most extreme and gorgeous personal performance!"

On the sidelines, Hollywood Oscar-winning movie star Tom Hanks praised.

"This is his show! It's always been like this in Madison Square Garden." Next to him is handsome guy Tom Cruise.

"boom!"

Looking back, O'Neal tried his best to squeeze into the basket and completed a two-handed dunk on Zhao Dong's head.

"How are you blocking me?" Even after dunking, he yelled at Zhao Dong.

"How can you five stop me?" Zhao Dong immediately responded with something that would make O'Neal angry to death.

"We're going to kill him!"

O'Neal, who had nothing to say, could only roar at his teammates.

But this time, after Zhao Dong encountered a five-and-one, he did not take action himself, but passed the ball.

After everyone on the Lakers went to double-team Zhao Dong, Stackhouse cut inside. Zhao Dong directly hoisted the ball into the basket. By the time O'Neal and Big Ben hurriedly turned back to defend the basket, it was already too late.

"boom!"

Stackhouse dunked successfully.

"6:6, the first three attacks of both teams were completed, and the efficiency was extremely high. This shows that the offensive tactics of both sides were well executed."

In the CCTV live broadcast, Su Qun laughed.

Zhang Lijia said thoughtfully: "Judging from Zhao Dong's defense against O'Neal in the past few goals today, his defensive purpose was mainly to consume O'Neal's physical energy. It seems that today is another protracted battle."

At this time the Lakers attacked, and Phil Jackson unexpectedly called a timeout.

Because he felt that there was something wrong with Kobe's defense against Zhao Dong. He was surprised three times in a row and failed to defend him once. This is abnormal for Kobe, whose movement speed and outside defensive skills are not weaker than Zhao Dong's.

"Kobe, don't risk stealing. You should guard him half a step. He will definitely seek a breakthrough. In all Feilong's games, he seeks to get closer to the basket. He is the god of efficiency, and he will definitely pursue a higher shooting percentage. "

After the players came down, Phil Jackson pulled Kobe and warned him.

"Prevent breakthroughs or prevent shots?" Kobe nodded.

"If he shoots from the outside, that's the best. You just need to try to interfere with him when he shoots and reduce his shooting rate." Jackson said.

After the timeout, the Lakers attacked.

O'Neal hit two, but this time he didn't ask for the ball. Glen Rice ran out of an open space, caught the ball and missed a three-pointer.

The three-point ball rebounded very far. Zhao Dong made an accurate prediction and moved to the blocking position first, protecting the backcourt rebound.

Phil Jackson shook his head. He thought the Lakers could have an advantage in rebounding, but in the G1 game, while Zhao Dong scored 61 points, he also grabbed 18 rebounds, helping the Knicks even the rebounding disadvantage. , which disappointed him.

Zhao Dong reached the top of the arc again with the ball, and the other four people pulled away from each other.

Kobe took a half-step to defend and blocked Zhao Dong's eyes with one hand.

When Zhao Dong broke through for the first time, Kobe quickly retreated and blocked the front again. However, when the breakthrough failed, he retreated to the top of the arc to avoid being caught by five pinches.

"Come, come on!"

Kobe defended once and said provocatively with increased confidence.

"Kobe, you are so crazy!" Zhao Dong said sarcastically.

"Who is as crazy as you?" Kobe retorted.

"squeak!"

With the sound of the friction of sneakers, Zhao Dong took advantage of Kobe's trash talk and started to break through with the ball again.

Kobe's reaction was half a beat too slow, and in that half-beat, he lost control.

By the time he reacted, Zhao Dong had already rushed over. He wanted to pull Zhao Dong's jersey from behind, but he didn't hold back.

The other four members of the Lakers tried their best to shrink, but because they were cut inside by Stackhouse last time, O'Neal's double team was not so forward this time, creating a staggered gap between him and Ben, which gave Zhao Dong a chance to suddenly The space and opportunity to get in.

Facing Ben in front, he made two consecutive rapid changes of direction, and jumped through the gap between Ben and O'Neal.

In this continuous change of direction breakthrough, he used his body to draw a Z-shaped lightning symbol in the little space between the two, thereby getting rid of the five-to-one encirclement and reaching the basket.

"boom!"

After the dunk, there was a bang, and the entire Madison Square Garden audience was excited.

"Lightning breakthrough, beautiful!"

The on-site commentator immediately roared.

"Hey, why is there always no defender in front of me?"

After succeeding, Zhao Dong asked O'Neal and others from the soul.

The five men were beaten again, and several of them were itching their teeth with hatred. Looking at Zhao Dong who was pretending to be 13, they wanted to rush over and have a fight.

"boom!"

The angry O'Neal could only respond to Zhao Dong's arrogance with a heavy dunk.

Zhao Dong jumped to block the shot, but was knocked down and then staggered back, returning in vain.

"Feilong, I'll dunk you, it's that simple." O'Neal roared.

"What the hell!"

Zhao Dong was also very angry, but the double-teaming between him and Willis failed to stop O'Neal from showing off his power at the basket.

Looking back, Kobe once again retreated in time to block Zhao Dong's breakthrough. Zhao Dongyuan made a two-point shot and missed. O'Neal protected the rebound and the Lakers attacked.

O'Neal just made a shot, but he didn't ask for the ball this time. Kobe missed the shot. Zhao Dong grabbed the rebound on the big head and the Knicks attacked.

In this way, the game reached the 9th minute of the first quarter, 18:18, the two sides were tied, and some substitutes were used.

The substitutes were all equally bad. After the first quarter, at 25:25, the two teams were tied again.

Zhang Lili smiled and said: "I'm right, today is a protracted battle."

Su Qun said with a smile: "The two teams tied 13 times in the first quarter. It was indeed a protracted battle."

In the TNT live broadcast booth, Barkley said: "O'Neal played very hard in the first quarter today. He did not hesitate to get into the basket physically and was very efficient. He made 5 of 6 shots and 3 of 6 free throws, scoring 13 points.

Feilong was frequently trapped by five players. Although he rarely reached the basket, his efficiency was not low. He made 6 of 10 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 14 points. Kobe's single defense efficiency against him was not very good. .

Smith said: "In the case of five-and-one, we can still hit 60% of the field goal percentage. This performance is phenomenal, historical, and dominant."

Barkley thought for a while and said: "I came from the era of the Pistons' Bad Boys. I have experienced the worst defense. What I want to say is that the defense the Dragons face now is worse than the defense of the Bad Boys at that time. Too much happened, and he had a good time."

"Charles, what do you mean? Do you think his performance is so good because the opponent's defense is not strong enough?"

Smith said in surprise.

"No, no, no, how much higher do you want the defensive intensity of a five-and-one team? What I mean is that he has not encountered the dirty defensive methods of the Bad Boys. He has better luck than Michael."

Buckley quickly explained.

Smith also nodded and said: "In the past four seasons, whether the Knicks played against the Jazz, the Bulls, the iron-blooded Heat, or the current Lakers, they have never encountered that kind of bad boy defense."

Barkley said with a smile: "If this flying Knicks encounters a small army of bad guys, the flying dragon will definitely have a headache, because Chuck Daly will definitely say to his players, hey, I want to see the blood of the flying dragon tonight." .Ha ha……"

Smith suddenly said: "Then when they get on the court, their heads will be blown off by Feilong's pair of iron fists, and the basketball court will turn into a boxing ring."

Buckley was stunned and immediately thought of the two world heavyweight boxing gold belts that Zhao Dong still retains.

"Ha ha……"

Smith and Barkley both laughed.
