Chapter 150: Eastern Finals-Battle Jordan

That evening, TNT TV arranged a program for the upcoming Eastern and Western Finals.

The TV station invited some NBA superstars as guests, including the newly retired Magic Johnson, the Lakers super center O'Neal who was just eliminated by the Jazz, the Heat center Mourning who was just eliminated by the Knicks, and the host is Bill Walton.

When the show started, Zhao Dong also turned on the TV in the hotel and tuned to the TNT channel.

At the same time, the Bulls are also watching this show in the hotel.

But Rodman is not there, which makes Jordan very dissatisfied.

In this playoffs, Rodman's performance in the first two rounds was very poor. He averaged only 8 rebounds per game and only played 20 minutes. His physical condition was very poor. In this case, the Eastern Conference Finals is about to begin, and he will go tonight. Playing in a nightclub, I didn't even think about the game.

"Let's talk about the Western Conference Finals first. For Mosaic and Jazz, who do you think has a better chance of reaching the Finals? Irvine, let's start with you."

Bill Walton laughed.

"The Jazz eliminated the Lakers four to one, Mosaic eliminated the SuperSonics four to three. In terms of physical reserves, the Jazz have the advantage. Both sides have similar strengths. In the four regular season contests, the two teams tied for two wins and two losses, so I I think in this Western Conference finals, the Jazz have some physical advantages, and overall there will be some advantages," said the magician.

O'Neal went on to say: "Dream and Barkley are both old. Barkley suffered two consecutive serious injuries this season. They were not in good shape. They were a little weaker in the Western Conference Finals. This is their disadvantage. I agree with El Wen's views."

"Alonzo, how about you?" Bill Walton looked at Mourning.

Mourning obviously hasn't come out of the second round of failure. A few days have passed, still feeling a little lost. At this time, he said:

"It is not easy for the Jazz to win Mosaic. They have very few low-post offenses. This is Mosaic's strong point. As long as Dameng and Barkley seize this point and fight hard, it is not impossible to win the Jazz."

"Two to one, the Jazz dominate. Then let's discuss the situation in the Eastern Conference. When it comes to the Eastern Conference, we have to mention the flying dragon, oh, and his new girlfriend. I am not referring to the one he just got in. The Korean girl of descent may have broken up now. I mean Lindsay, a girl with aristocratic temperament."

Bill Walton said gossiping.

"Does anyone think that Feilong is worthy of Lindsay?" This time Mourning reacted quickly and immediately shouted.

Onik and the magician both laughed, and the latter laughed: "It doesn't seem that we can decide."

O'Neill joked: "The Bulls and Iron Triangle want to be a knight to save the princess. It seems Alonzo, you also want to be a knight!"

"Haha..." Bill Walton took the lead and laughed.

"I just can't understand the rookie's practice of changing women to one day. He is too carefree and not worthy of Lindsay." Mourning said in anger.

"Well, let's talk about the Eastern Finals, who do you think has the advantage." Bill Walton brought the topic back to the right track.

"Of course it's the Bulls. I never think the Knicks have a chance to win." Mourning said in air.

Magic Johnson analyzed: "From the analysis of the lineup, the Knicks have a certain advantage inside, and the forward line is the same. Pippen has no advantage on both offensive and defensive ends, and the back line is of course the Bulls' advantage.

Judging from the series between the Knicks and the Heat, the Wyvern’s breakthrough ability is extraordinary. This is definitely a big impact on the Bulls’ internal line. They do not have a person who can withstand such external impact, including Rodman, which is very Danger.

Conversely, when Jordan broke through, the Knicks had two defensive champions, Ewing and Oakley, and the defense was more stable, which would make the Bulls offense more difficult. "

"Do you think the Bulls can't beat the Knicks?" Bill Walton asked in surprise.

"No, I didn't say that, I just compare the pros and cons of the two sides."

The magician shook his head and said: "The Knicks have one weakness, that is to organize the small forward Wyvern. He is the Knicks' ball control. Almost 70% of the offensive starting point is him. As long as you limit him, you can limit. The Knicks' offense.

But unfortunately, neither the Magic nor the Heat have really limited the performance of the flying dragon, double double-teaming, and internal and external encirclement and suppression. "

Mourning nodded and said: "We really didn't limit that guy. His passing made us unable to double-team him with all our strength. His passing can always find the loopholes in our defense and want to prevent him completely. This Very difficult."

O'Neill said: "When a player needs to double-team from the outside, it must be very threatening."

The magician continued: "So in my opinion, the Bulls and the Knicks fight is to limit the Wyvern. Pippen is the key. He is a top perimeter defense expert. If he can't contribute to the Bulls, the Bulls will be very dangerous. ."

"So what about Jordan? What role will he play in the Eastern Conference finals?" Bill Walton said.

"Pippen is defensive, and others are always ready to double-team Wyvern and give Jordan the offense, so that the Bulls have a chance to win." said the magician.

Bill Walton said in shock: "Have you raised the importance of flying dragon to this position?"

"Yes, it determines the position of victory or defeat."

The magician smiled and said: "His template is Barkley, but I think he is a mixed version of me and Barkley. His assist ability is much better than Barkley, and he has more impact than mine."

"Eight playoff games, Feilong played 4 major triple-doubles, his strength is beyond doubt." Nodded, Bill Walton said seriously.

Then he said: "Then who do you think the Bulls and the Knicks have the better chance of winning?"

Mourning said: "I support the bulls."

O'Neill thought for a while and nodded.

The magician smiled and said: "The Bulls still have two weaknesses. The first is Dennis Rodman. He did not perform well in this playoffs, averaging only more than 20 minutes of playing time per game. Grabbing an average of eight rebounds per game, this performance will be a fatal weakness for the Knicks, who has excellent layup ability.

Of course, in fact, Rodman's performance in the playoffs has always been weaker than the regular season, but this time the performance gap is a bit bigger. "

"The Knicks' rebound?"

O'Neal thought, yes, Ewing, Oakley, Wyvern, which are all rebounders, and what about the Bulls? Can Rodman's half-worn performance support the Bulls' rebounds?

The magician continued: "The Bulls' second weakness, Pippen."

"Pippen? He can't limit Wyvern on the defensive end, you've already said it." Bill Walton said.

"No, I mean his role on the offensive end." The magician shook his head and said.

"Offensive end." Bill Walton was taken aback, and immediately reacted: "Organizing a small forward, he can't bear the responsibility of the Bulls' first offensive initiator?"

Nodded, the magician said: "Pippen has always been the starting point of the Bulls' first offense. He has always had more assists than Jordan. He is the organizer of the Bulls, and the limitations of the flying dragon may make him unable to bear this responsibility. It will seriously affect the Bulls’ offense and increase Jordan’s burden."

"I have seen the Bulls and the Knicks in four regular season games. This problem is not serious. Pippen still has a good performance in organizing offense, and the assist data is not low." Bill Walton said.

The magician laughed: "The two teams are enemies. The Bulls have eliminated the Knicks many times, and now they have become deadly enemies because of the flying dragons, but no matter what, they will not do their best in the regular season.

But now it's the Eastern Conference Finals. With the perimeter defense shown by the Flying Dragon and his better mobility than Pippen, will he allow Pippen to organize the Bulls' offense on the offensive end? "

Bill Walton and others couldn't help but nodded. O'Neill said: "If Pippen can't organize the offense, then you can only sacrifice Ron Harper's defense and let him re-organize the Bulls. I think so."

"should be."

"Jordan can't be responsible for everything, but by doing so, the Bulls' perimeter defense will be reduced."

The others nodded.

O'Neill smiled at this time: "In this case, I also support the Knicks."

"Humph!"

Mourning snorted uncomfortably: "I still support the Bulls. That rookie plays with women all the time, and he may not perform well in the Eastern Conference."

"Well, this is also a weakness of the Knicks." Bill Walton nodded repeatedly.

"Dennis hasn't come back yet. Tomorrow's G1 game, his condition will not get better, what about our rebounds then?"

In the hotel, Pippen was very dissatisfied with the authenticity.

"The rest of us put in more rebounds and try to keep a tie."

Jordan is also helpless, rebounding, which used to be the strength of the Bulls, but facing the Knicks, this is a weakness, and he has no choice.

Phil Jackson said to Pippen at this time: "This time against the Knicks, Scotty, you are the key. It's up to you to limit the flying dragon."

Pippen nodded slightly, without speaking.

Phil Jackson said again: "Offensively, you try first. If you have trouble organizing an offense, Harper will be in charge. This is also impossible."

"No, I can do it, that kid can't restrain me." Pippen shook his head.

Jordan was dissatisfied with Jerry Klaus, but he was dissatisfied with Phil Jackson.

Jordan retired in 1994. He became the boss of the team. In the Eastern Conference semifinals that year, with 1.8 seconds left in the game, Phil Jackson asked him to serve and let the substitute Kukoc play the final attack. He had no qualifications to attract defense, and he hated Phil Jackson from then on, thinking it was racial discrimination against him.

In this Eastern Conference, Phil Jackson set up a defensive tactic against the Flying Dragon. With him as the core, with the assistance of Jordan and Rodman, his task is very heavy and the key to winning or losing is what makes him very proud. Jackson's attitude showed some arrogance.

After watching this show, Zhao Dong hurriedly tuned in. Tonight is the Western Conference G1 game, Jazz vs. Mosaic, these are all super strong teams, he wants to observe.

Two hours later, at 86:101, the Jazz won the G1 game at home.

Barkley played 37 minutes, 3 of 10 shots, 6 of 6 free throws, only 12 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists.

The glider, one of the Big Three, only scored 13 points, showing a sluggish performance.

The old dream of becoming stronger and stronger scored 30 points, 13 rebounds and 5 assists, but it has been unable to drive this team.

On the morning of the 20th, Zhao Dong called for those guys from the men's basketball team to get tickets.

For the three sidelines, his family members are all in China, and there is no special person here. Apart from Lindsay, it seems that no one else can give it.

"Avel, do you have any friends who want to watch the game with you? I have three side tickets here." He called Lindsay.

"No, I don't have many friends." Lindsay Road.

"All right, I'll give it to others." Zhao Dong said.

"Hint, Feilong, I don't want to sit with your girlfriends, such as your newest Korean girlfriend, otherwise I would rather stay at home alone." Lindsay said suddenly.

"Uh, I know." Zhao Dong said awkwardly.

Tonight, Madison Square Garden was shining with stars.

The Bulls and the Knicks, these are the two most watched NBA teams today, and a large number of celebrities have poured into the arena.

In addition to them, a large number of NBA stars also came to join in.

The game started at 8 o'clock. At 7 o'clock, Zhao Dong went to the underground parking lot to pick up Lindsay and let her enter Madison Square Garden through the internal passage.

Lindsay wearing light makeup did not wear any jewellery, and of course she did not wear her black-framed glasses again. She wore a pink dress with a rose-like temperament and an angel-like face. There was a romantic atmosphere all over her body. .

"Avel, do you like red?"

Zhao Dong asked as he walked into the quiet corridor and looked sideways at the charming Lindsay.

"Um."

Lindsay turned his head to look at Zhao Dong, with his arm wrapped around the latter's arm, leaning back on the swan-like jade neck, and nodding lightly.

"Red is also our Chinese favorite color." Zhao Dong smiled.

"It's nice to like the same color as you." Lindsay smiled softly.

Looking at Lindsay's delicate smile, Zhao Dong felt that something filled his heart.

When Lindsay was sent into the court, all the media footage fell over, and the scene footage also moved the two on the hanging screen and entered everyone's sight.

At this moment, Lindsay became Madison's brightest jewel, and the female stars sitting on the sidelines were also suppressed by her.

"The perfect combination of temperament and appearance, natural aristocratic temperament." Big star Tom Cruise admired.

"She belongs to Feilong, don't make her mind, be careful that Feilong beats you down, he won't care who you are." Spike Lee warned next to him.

Tom Cruise smiled awkwardly and said, "I just admire her."

"Hey, Flying Dragon, can't you see me?"

O'Neal sat on the sidelines and saw Zhao Dong walking past him holding Lindsay, without even looking at him, he cried out with some dissatisfaction.

"Shark, I really can't see you in my eyes now." Zhao Dong turned around and said with a smile.

"Then who can you see? Who, you can't see any of them here?"

O'Neill pointed to the magician and Admiral Robinson next to the superstars, grinning.

Zhao Dong glanced at the smiling Lindsay, and smiled: "Who do you think I can see now?"

"Haha..." The magician laughed.

"Damn, do you have only beautiful women in your eyes as a playboy?" O'Neill scolded with a smile.

"Sorry, looking at you, I might as well look at beautiful women." Zhao Dong said.

"..."

O'Neill covered his face with anger.

Next, Zhao Dong introduced Lindsay, and Lindsay nodded one by one.

"Avel, this is Ringer Wells, my agent. Ringer, this is Avel Lindsay, please take care of me, don't let the media disturb her, she will not accept any media interviews."

"Okay. Miss Lindsay, this is Wells. It's nice to meet you."

"Mr. Wells, hello."

Zhao Dong gave Wells one of the two remaining side tickets, and the other seat was empty. After the introduction, he went back to the locker room first.

Next, Wells got busy and constantly turned down some media reporters who came to interview him.

"Flying dragon, what does it feel like to kiss the princess?"

"Flying dragon, invite Lindsay to our party?"

Zhao Dong returned to the locker room and was immediately entangled by his teammates.

"If I win a championship, I will invite her. But whether she will agree or not, I don't know." He said quickly.

In the visiting team locker room, Phil Jackson said with all his heart: "Everyone, you are all people with wives and girlfriends. Don't stare at your girlfriends. Take your heart. Our Eastern Conference begins."

"Yes, the Eastern Finals has begun."

Jordan moved his gaze away from the TV, and found that his teammates were still staring at the TV, and quickly went up and turned off the TV.

"Okay, now I will give a final reminder of the technical characteristics and defensive strategy of the flying dragon."

Phil Jackson went on to say: "He has first-rate attacking ability on the outside, even reaching the top level, so to defend him, you must not let him close to the paint zone, you must prevent his breakthrough, and don't let him rush.

But his impact is too strong. Once he rushes in, he will immediately besiege and suppress him at all costs.

In addition, his back body ability is lacking. If you encounter his back body on the outside, you must be careful about his turning and breakthrough, and you must retreat quickly..."

Before the game, the starting lists of both sides were announced.

Bulls: Luc Longley, Rodman, Pippen, Jordan, Ron Harper

Knicks: Ewing, Oakley, Zhao Dong, Alan Houston, Charlie Ward

The game is broadcast live by TNT and CCTV.

Zhang Liliang explained at this time: "The Knicks let Charlie Ward enter the Eastern Conference finals. What should be considered is that after Zhao Dong strengthens the breakthrough, the outside line needs to be opened. He is stronger than Childs and has the ability to shoot three-pointers. At the same time, Ewing and Oakley can both pull out, which makes Zhao Dong's breakthrough easy."

Sun Zhenping said: "Director Zhang, according to what you said~www.readwn.com~ Today, the Knicks still focus on scoring tactics?"

"It should be." Zhang Liangyi nodded.

On the TNT live broadcast, Bill Walton explained: "Although the defending champion Bulls are very strong and Jordan’s offensive firepower is unmatched in history, the media’s general view is that the Knicks and the Bulls have a 55-to-fifth chance of winning or losing. There is a chance to beat the opponent."

The horse characteristic head said: "This is undoubtedly a recognition of the Knicks' strength. Compared with last season, the Knicks have added Larry Johnson and Alan Houston, as well as the Wyvern.

Among the three, the Flying Dragon succeeded as the core of the Knicks. Because of his appearance, the Knicks successfully advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals and became a championship-level team. "

"Then in this Eastern Conference, the tactical focus of the two sides is to restrain the other's core figures, Jordan and Flying Dragon. Whoever successfully limits the performance of Jordan or Flying Dragon will hope to win." Bill Walton laughed.

After a pause, he said again: "Of course, as Magic Johnson said, once Pippen is restricted by the dragon on the offensive end, the Bulls will also have certain troubles. After all, he is a part of the Iron Triangle and the Bulls need him. His organizational ability, his height on the outside line is not much lower than that of Feilong."
