Chapter 169: The fate of elimination

"In this quarter, the Knicks and the Bulls have played a good tactical cooperation, but the Knicks performed better on the defensive end. The Dragon sent a steal and four blocks in a single quarter to help the team lead the Bulls." Bill Walton Analysis Road.

"Flying dragon has strong defensive abilities both inside and outside, and his movement speed can allow his defense to cover the entire half. The Bulls should continue to let Pippen pull near the sideline, so that the flying dragon can be contained on the flanks and prevent him from returning. Paint area." Matt analyzed.

On CCTV’s live broadcast, Zhang Liyi said: “Now Zhao Dong made 12 of 18 shots in the three quarters, 1 of 1 three-pointer, 4 of 5 free throws, 29 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, 5 blocks, 1 turnover, and 3 fouls. data.

Jordan was 12 of 22 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, 6 of 7 free throws, 32 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, 1 block, 1 turnover and 2 fouls. "

Sun Zhenping said: "Today, Zhao Dong played several fast breaks and played well in positional battles. He was very efficient. In positional battles, he mainly stopped jumpers today. He often got rid of defenders and made jump shots. Guaranteed."

Zhang Liangyi laughed: "But there are fewer free throws, only 5 free throws, which is much lower than the number of free throws he made in the playoffs.

He averaged 9.3 and 9.2 free throws per game in the first and second rounds of the series, but in the first five games of the Eastern Conference Finals, he strengthened his breakthrough and averaged 15 free throws per game.

But today there are only five. The gap is too far. Although he has not made as many breakthroughs as in the first five games, there are not many of them. He hasn't given them several times. "

"The Bulls made 27 free throws in three quarters and the Knicks made 18, which is 9 times short." Sun Zhenping said.

"These factors are too important for the game, I hope the Knicks can withstand it." Zhang Gongyi said.

On the Bulls bench, Phil Jackson is making tactical arrangements.

He focused on defensive tactics, and targeted the Knicks' tactics, especially the Knicks' pick-and-roll tactics.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the two sides still played together.

However, the Knicks' offensive tactics did not cooperate much, it was pick and roll, and it was a simple pick and roll tactic.

Pick-and-roll tactics are actually not simple. It can create opportunities through continuous pick-and-roll screens.

But the Knicks don't have that complicated pick-and-roll tactics, and they don't have much cooperation after the disassembly. It depends on the random play of the players.

In this way, after the Bulls played a targeted defense, the Knicks made many mistakes, and there were two mistakes between Zhao Dong and Ewing.

Seven minutes later, at 84:84, the two teams drew and the Knicks called a timeout.

"In terms of strength on paper, the Knicks should have a stronger lineup than the Bulls after the Wyvern’s super performance. Unfortunately, the coach is too good and the strength is not fully played out. The offensive tactics are too simple, and every victory is so difficult. "Zhang Jingfang sighed.

"It was very happy to lose. I lost more than 15 points in both games." Sun Zhenping couldn't help but vomit.

At this time, the timeout is over and the game restarts.

The Knicks attacked.

In the timeout just now, Van Gundy did not deploy any offensive tactics, but emphasized defense, so the Knicks' offense is still the same, with sudden points and pick-and-rolls.

Zhao Dong played while thinking about how to play, he could see this, Xiao Fan couldn't help him.

He thought of the triangle tactics, the Princeton tactics of the king in the future, and the small ball play.

When he attracts double teams, his teammates have a lot of open opportunities, and he can pass the ball, but why is it still so difficult?

The hand feels bad, the open miss is missed, or the open is not big enough.

The running position of teammates belongs to random running, there is no structure, and there is no cooperation with each other, because there is no matching offensive tactics.

"Wait a moment."

He stopped his teammates and said in a low voice: "Wait for you to pull apart first, and then the outside line cuts in continuously, and the inside line does the pick-and-roll for the outside line cut..."

"0K!"

Everyone nodded.

The ball arrived in the frontcourt and Zhao Dong took the ball two steps beyond the left-wing three-point line. Pippen forced it over and was blocked by one of his arms. He ran into the three-point line.

At this time, Ewing and Oakley pulled apart, emptying the Bulls' basket.

After Zhao Dong reached the three-point line, he forcibly smashed Pippen and went to the wing with the ball.

At this time, the Bulls' point guard Harper has already rushed over, implemented a supplementary defense, and will soon form a double-team with Pippen on the flank to Zhao Dong.

At the same time, the shorted point guard Chris Childs cut from the top of the arc to the basket.

Jordan on the weak side immediately reinforces the rim, but at this time, Alan Houston, who was emptied by Jordan, also immediately began to cut in, forming a back-cutting trend against Jordan who reinforces the rim.

Childs did not receive the pass from Zhao Dong, immediately pulled to the left and asked Zhao Dong for the ball.

Jordan's attention was attracted by Childs, when he saw Zhao Dong passing the ball, he quickly followed Childs.

However, the ball flew behind him.

Alan Houston cut into the paint and received the ball, then took the opportunity to make a layup, and easily hit an open ball.

"Pretty, the back line cut into the basket continuously. After Zhao Dong attracted double-teams, the Bulls' defensive power obviously lost the other side."

Sun Zhenping exclaimed excitedly.

Zhang Yangliang smiled happily: "The cut-in tactics are good. The closer you get to the basket, the higher your shooting percentage. It should have been this way. Don't always shoot outside. The touch is not good. You can't make any shots in the open position."

Looking back, the Bulls attacked.

The Bulls stepped up their position, and Pippen led Zhao Dong from the left wing to the right wing, and then back to the left wing.

Similarly, Jordan also runs continuously.

The two moved off the ball and pulled the Knicks' defense.

At this time, the two reached the right wing at the same time, and Jordan suddenly made a pick-and-roll for Pippen, blocking Zhao Dong.

The ball passed from the top of the arc, Pippen inside cut the ball, Alan Houston replaced Pippen.

But at this time Pippen passed the ball to Jordan who was outside.

Jordan's two-step position on the three-point line formed a situation of singles Zhao Dong, and the double-teaming force could not be reached for a time.

"Boom..."

Jordan dribbled the ball twice in quick succession and got up suddenly.

When Zhao Dong saw that Jordan's dribble speeded up, he knew that the opponent would make a shot, break through, or jump shot. He immediately made a choice and got close to his body.

With his body width and close to the body, Jordan must take one more step to break through, which is conducive to his retreat.

If Jordan shoots a jumper, it can squeeze his center of gravity close to the body, affect his shots, and also help block shots.

Jordan chose to shoot a jumper, and then fell back for a jumper.

At the moment Jordan took off, Zhao Dong finished close to his body and jumped up.

Zhao Dong predicted that with his defensive ability, blocking ability, and jumping ability, Jordan can't be a pure jumper, it must be a backward jumper, so his take-off is directly forward.

"Snapped!"

Jordan shot the ball and was capped by Zhao Dong, then the two collided and fell to the floor.

"Oh!"

"Beep!"

In the exclamation of the Bulls fans, the referee whistled.

"Special!"

As soon as Zhao Dong got up, he saw the referee running over pointing at him, making a defensive foul gesture, and couldn't help but explode.

"Shhh!"

When the away fans saw this gesture, he immediately broke out.

"Yeah!"

But the home fans immediately drowned out the away fans' voices with a burst of huge cheers.

"Sir, I got the ball first, I'm pretty sure." Zhao Dong explained.

"Sorry, what I saw was that you met the offensive player first." The referee also explained.

"Heh!" Zhao Dong laughed angrily.

In particular, in that case, why did your whistle sound after shooting? Do you want Jordan to play a two plus one?

"This is an absolute good hat, someone destroyed it." On the TNT live broadcast, Bill Walton vomited.

"It's too much. Such caps have been blown. It is very rare to block the back jumper." On the CCTV live broadcast booth, Zhang Jingyi exclaimed dissatisfiedly.

The referee's will can not be reversed, the game continues, the Bulls attack, time 4.5 seconds.

Kukoc served the ball and the others ran around, when Harper suddenly withdrew from the top of the arc and raised his hand outside the court for the ball.

Zhao Dong followed Pippen on the left wing. At this time, he saw Harper's retreat, but he also saw the action of another Bulls player, that is Jordan.

Jordan cut inside suddenly and left Alan Houston.

Kukoc made a gesture to pass the ball to Harper, but suddenly took it back, and then threw the ball to Jordan who was inside.

At this moment, Zhao Dong lost Pippen and rushed to the paint area.

Jordan caught the ball and drove into the paint. After a step, he flew the ball with one hand.

Ewing was held in a low position on the left wing by Rodman, and it was too late to return to defense. At this time, a figure rushed into the paint area from his side.

Jordan was about to perform a dunk, when Zhao Dong appeared in his sight, his right hand holding the ball instinctively closed.

However, the opposite Zhao Dong did not fly up to block him, he missed the best dunk chance.

In the next moment, he slid past the hoop and picked the basket backhand.

At this time, Zhao Dong, who jumped to the front of the basket, jumped up.

"Snapped!"

Zhao Dong directly pressed the ball on the backboard and then grabbed it.

When he pounced in just now, he kept a mindful eye. Jordan is a dunk, so he doesn't need to take off so early. As long as he seals the basket at the end, it can also prevent Jordan's drawbar.

Sure enough, he got it right.

"Oh!"

In a short time, Jordan was capped by Zhao Dong again, and the Bulls fans exclaimed.

"Wow!"

The depressed away fans started their screams frantically this time.

On the Knicks bench, Van Gundy, Thibodeau, John Starks and other players and coaches cheered for the block.

"Good job, Zhao Dong, just fight like this!" Zhang Liangyi exclaimed excitedly.

"Flying dragon was on the defensive end and was blown a blow, but he once again sent a block to Jordan, and he ended the first-man offense in active service."

Bill Walton exclaimed excitedly.

"start running."

At this time, the Knicks pushed the ball to the frontcourt, and Zhao Dong began to organize the offense.

After his teammates ran up, he once again broke through with the ball on the left wing and attracted the defense. After the two guards on the outside used the opportunity of the Bulls' insufficient defensive strength, they continued to cut into the basket.

In the end, Childs got an open chance, received a pass from Zhao Dong, jumped close to the basket, and hit a ball on the head of Rodman who returned to the defense.

88:84, the Knicks led by 4 points, and the Bulls called a timeout.

"There was a problem with the defensive tactics, Phil Jackson's timeout was very timely." Bill Walton commented.

"The Knicks stepped up the empty cut to the basket, Phil Jackson may not be able to come up with any good way." Matt laughed.

Bill Walton nodded and said: "The flying dragon attracts double teams, which will inevitably cause the Bulls to lose one person in other positions.

In the absence of one person, the Bulls can solve the problem by quickly making up defenses.

But if the flying dragon is close to the paint area, it is likely to cause the Bulls to lose two or three people. This cannot be solved by quick patching.

The Knicks other players as long as they cut to the basket, the Knicks can play an efficient offense, this is a fatal problem. "

Matt went on to say: "But the Bulls can do the same. After Jordan attracted double-teams on the flanks, someone else cut into the basket."

Bill Walton shook his head and said: "Pippen is the best in the main Bulls, but he is locked by the dragon. For everyone else, Rodman can't run anymore, don't count. Harper and Kuko The odd air cutting technique is average, and the players that the Bulls can cut into are not as good as the Knicks.

But the most troublesome thing is that the Knicks have the Wyvern's organization and pass, but after Pippen was locked, the Bulls lost its organizer, and Jordan must do both. "

Matt laughed and said: "Jordan can still play. He has scored 39 points tonight, but the Bulls' lineup has aged, and they have let go of a terribly young dragon and are now paying the price."

Bill Walton smiled intentionally.

On the Bulls bench, Phil Jackson is indeed having a headache, and there are not enough people available.

Glancing at Zhao Dong on the Knicks bench, he sighed inwardly. If he could keep him, he wouldn't have to spend a lot of effort in this playoffs. Defending the title is a matter of course.

At the end of the timeout, the Knicks replaced Charlie Ward and John Starks to strengthen the defense on the back line.

Bulls attack.

Pippen suddenly withdrew to catch the ball. When Zhao Dong caught up, Harper came over to make a pick-and-roll screen for Pippen. Pippen took the opportunity to get rid of Zhao Dong and broke through with the ball from the left wing.

Charlie Ward changed defense in time, and Zhao Dong caught up to double-team, blocking Pippen out of the paint area.

At this time, Harper ran to make a pick-and-roll for Jordan. Jordan pulled to the top of the arc and was on the left wing, and got an open position.

At this time, Pippen scored the ball to Jordan, and Zhao Dong quickly supplemented the defense, forming a double-team with the chasing John Starks against Jordan.

But after Jordan got the ball, he started suddenly, broke through the double-team between the two, broke into the paint area, and stopped a jump shot in the left elbow area.

Zhao Dong turned to chase after him, but it was too late.

"Huh!"

Two points hit.

Looking at Zhao Dong coldly, Jordan didn't bother to spray trash talk anymore, he didn't feel dominant in this regard.

Moreover, after the score was behind, he was in no mood to spray trash talk, and immediately returned to defense after he succeeded, so as not to be chased by Zhao Dong.

The Knicks attacked.

Charlie Ward received the ball, and Harper immediately implemented a full-court press and wanted to be caught off guard.

"Give me."

Zhao Dong stretched out his hand to pass the ball and personally pushed forward.

His ball control level has reached level 95, which is absolutely super-class, and his speed has also reached first-class. He is qualified to be a point guard.

As soon as he pushed forward, Pippen and Harper seemed to have seen the opportunity and immediately came over to double-team.

Zhao Dong turned around to protect the ball, shook his back, then suddenly turned left and jumped between the two.

This breakthrough is like a dragon swimming in the sea, with no obstacles ahead, he immediately pushed forward with all his strength, passing the center line from the middle, without slowing down, and approaching the top of the arc.

Pippen and Harper desperately pursued defense, and they were unable to pass in a short period of time. They lost their defensive position and the other Bulls players could only make up defenses.

Jordan and Rodman left their men behind and made up for the top of the arc.

After the two men made up the defense, their men, namely John Starks and Oakley, ran to the basket at the same time, making an inside cut.

"squeak!"

Zhao Dong made an emergency stop at the top of the arc, and even completed the action of joining the ball and getting up at the same time as the emergency stop.

"Be careful, stop the jump shot..." the on-site commentator shouted anxiously.

His actions further attracted the defense, and all four of them rushed to his side, and even Rodman and Pippen had already jumped up.

But his body was closed together, and then he threw both hands to the front floor, hitting the ball between Jordan and Rodman, passing the ball in.

"It's over!"

Shouted Bill Walton.

John Starks cut into the paint, received a layup, and made an easy goal.

90:86, the Knicks lead by 4 points.

Then Jordan missed a goal and it was the Knicks' turn to attack.

At the critical moment, Zhao Dong simply took over the responsibilities of the point guard, advanced with the ball in the backcourt, and signaled the others to hurry down.

The Bulls did not double-team Zhao Dong in the backcourt this time, and they all followed their own people, but Pippen was the only one who guarded and retreated.

"Pi second, your performance in this series is too bad, maybe you will be traded during the offseason." Zhao Dong pushed forward, and at the same time used trash to stimulate Pippen.

"You want to control?" Pippen said airly.

"When you run, you all move."

Just past the center line, Zhao Dong shouted while making tactical gestures.

As the Knicks players moved, the Bulls' defense was pulled.

Three seconds later, Zhao Dong saw an opportunity. John Starks, who cut in, made a pick-and-roll screen for Ewing. Ewing was entering the basket and there was no one around him.

He immediately jumped to pass and threw the ball in a straight line from above Pippen's head.

"boom!"

Ewing jumped up to catch the ball, smashed forward with both hands, and completed an empty dunk.

At 92:86, the Bulls were 6 points behind.

"Flying dragon, it's so good!" The excited Ewing shouted and pointed at Zhao Dong after landing.

"Ha ha……"

Seeing Ewing, who has never spoken much, was so excited~www.readwn.com~ Zhao Dong laughed at him.

The Bulls serve and then call a timeout.

"The top organizational talent. When the Knicks lacked offensive tactics, the organizational talent of the Flying Dragon was thoroughly stimulated." Matt exclaimed excitedly.

"Yes, he sent 4 consecutive assists in three minutes, helping the team lead the Bulls by 6 points. He played the level of a top point guard at the most critical moment." Bill Walton laughed.

"What should the Bulls do now? I don't know. But I know one thing, as long as the ball is in the hands of the dragon, even if he is in the backcourt, he can't let it go, because he can pass a deadly ball at any time. "Matt said solemnly.

"Now there are 115 seconds left in the final quarter, and the Knicks are leading by 6 points. Come on, the elimination of the Bulls is right in front of them." Zhang Jingyi exclaimed excitedly.

"Zhao Dong just sent his 10th assist, and he has sent 5 assists in the fourth quarter. So far he has played a triple-double. This is his sixth triple-double, all of them are playoff triple-doubles..."

Sun Zhenzhen also exclaimed excitedly.
