NBA Dynasty Sniper - Chapter 415
This afternoon, the Blazers held a tactical meeting. From the relevant management to the coaching staff and players, everyone participated, including owner Paul Allen.
Larry Bird first analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of both sides, and then said: “There is no doubt that we are at an absolute disadvantage in the interior, and the playoffs are no better than the regular season. We will encounter more intense competition in the low post. We need Use appropriate tactics to change or make up for this disadvantage. If we cannot make up and change this disadvantage, we will undoubtedly lose.”
Having said that, he said to Zhao Dong: “Feilong, what do you think?”
Zhao Dong shook his head and said: “The coaching staff arranges the tactics, and I will execute them. Perhaps, according to that **** slaying lineup?”
He is not a coach, what can he do?
Larry Bird smiled and said, “You are right, Flying Dragon, we will fight like that.”
Then he said: “O’Neal and David Robinson swing under the basket, they are two towers, so we have to pull them away.
Inside, we are the last two guys who can pull apart, Brian Grant and Oscar, you guys are starting. “
“Yes, coach,” the two exclaimed, standing up excitedly.
Larry Bird said again: “Position three, Marion.”
“Yes.”
Marion also stood up excitedly.
After two seasons of training, he has gradually grown up, all-around offensive and defensive.
This season, he averaged 30 minutes of playing time per game, averaged 16 points, 10 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.3 blocks per game. The three-point shooting rate reached 37.5%, and the overall shooting rate reached 53%. The efficiency is very high.
In addition to shooting, his offense has a lot of dunks cut from the wing and a lot of dunks in the fast break. This is the reason for the high efficiency.
At the same time, he showed a strong talent in rebounding, averaging 10 rebounds per game, second only to Zhao Dong.
Apart from Zhao Dong and Eddie Jones, he also played the most time, so he grabbed more rebounds than a few inside players.
However, compared with the previous life, his playing time has actually declined. In the previous life, he averaged 36 minutes per game with the Suns this season. Almost all the statistics are better than this life. Only three points are not enough, and his shooting percentage is 25%. , Far inferior to this life, and overall efficiency is also lower than this life.
Larry Bird said to Marion: “Defensively, we must help defend the paint zone in time and grab every rebound.”
“Understood.” Marion said excitedly.
Larry Bird didn’t say the last two starters. With the combination of iron on the back line, Zhao Dong and Eddie Jones, he directly began to talk about tactics.
He said: “The inside is completely opened, and the three outsiders quickly cut in from the left, center and right. If we can’t defend the Lakers twin towers, then we must play high efficiency on the defensive end. We played the same way as the Lakers and the Knicks last season. Counterattack.”
“Defense, we can’t defend, attack, we are not afraid of anyone, and the combination of super centers can blow up.” This is Zhao Dong’s next speech, with great momentum and full of self-confidence.
The Blazers’ players and management have also been infected, and owner Paul Allen said excitedly: “Then attack the Lakers by attacking.”
“Blast the Lakers.” Everyone shouted.
On the 19th, the Western Conference finals G1 battle day.
On this day, a large number of Hollywood stars flew to Portland, and a large number of league stars also flew to Portland.
At night, the Rose Garden Arena is shining with stars,
“My dear, this is the time I have seen the most stars in the Rose Garden.” Looking at the stars and stars on the sidelines, a male fan exclaimed excitedly.
“No, my dear, I don’t want to watch celebrities, I just want to see Feilong break the hundred again.” A female fan next to me said excitedly.
The first announcement was made at half past seven.
Lakers: O’Neal, David Robinson, Rick Fox, Kobe, Ron Harper.
Trail Blazers: Oscar, Brian Grant, Marion, Eddie Jones, Zhao Dong.
The Western Conference Finals series was broadcast live on TNT TV, with commentators Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith.
At this time, Barkley said: “Ron Harper is an injury hazard in the Lakers lineup. He has stopped 36 games this season and only played 46 regular-season games, and his opponent will be the Wyvern.
Comparing the lineups of the two sides, the Lakers are stronger by more than one grade inside, so the Dragon will definitely increase the impact on the inside. Even if Kobe changes defense, Ron Harper will also take the responsibility of helping defend the Dragon. He will face a strong impact, and if He has a problem, and the defense of the Lakers’ guard line will be weakened. “
Smith took a different view, saying: “It doesn’t matter who is facing the flying dragon in the first position. In the Olympics, both Kidd and Payton were beaten by him. So Ron Harper even It’s the peak period, and he can’t guard against flying dragons. I mean, even if he can’t fight, if he goes up with another person, there is no big difference. Anyway, he will be blown up.”
“OK, Kenny, you are right.” Barkley smiled helplessly and nodded.
On the CCTV commentary, Zhang Liyi laughed and said: “This year’s Western Conference Finals and Finals will be very good-looking. The Blazers can’t defend against O’Neal and David Robinson. The scene of the final.
Regardless of which team enters the Finals, facing the Nets, I think it is the same situation. “
Su Qun said: “Director Zhang, I think the Blazers’ lineup is actually very good. Although the inside line is a bit weaker than the Lakers, Marion is much stronger than Fox in terms of small forwards. Needless to say, Feilong is the point guard. Guard Eddie Jones can also carry Kobe.”
Zhang Liangyi nodded and said: “Marion is indeed stronger than Fox, and a lot stronger. If he is in other teams, he should have played longer, but he won’t get more playing time with the Blazers. There are certain limitations on performance.”
Su Qun laughed and said: “But playing less in the regular season, his physical reserves in the playoffs should be better. Last season, he and Ginobili had physical problems in the playoffs.”
“Yes, the Blazers should have taken this into consideration, after all, he is only in the second grade and not very young.” Zhang Fangyi laughed.
This is the starting point.
When the Lakers played, as the team that swept the Trail Blazers in last season’s Western Conference finals, the Rose Garden Arena sounded a loud boo.
“Sweep the Lakers! Sweep the Lakers! Sweep…”
It was the home team’s turn to play, and the home fans all shouted in unison, with great momentum.
Barkley laughed and said: “Under the leadership of the Dragon, the Blazers got a record of 74 wins and 8 losses. The morale is very strong and the fans’ expectations are also very strong. However, if you want to sweep the Lakers, the difficulty is not ordinary. The Blazers need to be more calm. Some.”
Smith said: “The Knicks swept the Lakers last year. It was because Ben Wallace couldn’t pull it out. O’Neal was double-teamed under the basket. This time, he definitely won’t.
But I think that this time the Blazers will definitely pull out the two super centers to facilitate their outside breakthroughs. This is also the tactic that the Blazers often play this season. “
“When they have Grant and Oscar on the field, they are indeed qualified to play like this. The tactics of the Tushen lineup, the inside is completely pulled out. This is a tactical change that the traditional center tactics did not have before.”
Speaking of this, Barkley proudly said: “Do you know who invented the slaughter tactic? It’s me, that’s my show, and all the creativity is mine.”
Kenny Smith glanced at the finals ring on Barkley’s right index finger, and said disdainfully: “You are embarrassed to wear your ring? I heard that you are still investing with Flying Dragon, and you actually come up with the tactic of killing God. Aren’t you afraid of being kicked away by him?”
Barkley almost jumped up, and quickly distinguished: “One yard goes to one yard. I’m doing a show. Flying Dragon won’t blame me.”
“That’s not necessarily. If the Blazers are eliminated this time, I am optimistic about the result of you being kicked away by him.” Smith laughed.
When Smith said this, Barkley really became nervous, and muttered to himself: “It’s been a year now. Flying dragon shouldn’t blame me, right?”
David Stern also brought to the scene, accompanied by owner Paul Allen, before the game awarded Zhao Dong the MVP trophy.
At eight o’clock, the game began. After O’Neal and O’Neal jumped the ball, the Lakers attacked and the two super centers went directly to the basket.
Grant carried O’Neal. His tonnage was 116 kilograms and he could carry it, but he was quickly squeezed away, allowing the latter to occupy the best position under the basket. He could only go around immediately.
Xiao Ao’s original weight was 105 kilograms, but this season he has completed the weight gain under the team’s requirements, reaching 115 kilograms, the same as David Robinson.
Under the pressure of the coaching staff and Zhao Dong, he increased the confrontation he didn’t like. He was a young man and moved faster. David Robinson was old again, but he pushed the latter out and couldn’t let Robinson approach easily. Under the basket. Valley
In this way, the Twin Towers can’t meet under the basket, leaving some opportunities for the Blazers’ defense.
The Blazers played a two-one-two defense, with the highly mobile Marion guarding the middle, Zhao Dong and Eddie Jones guarding the outside.
The defensive tasks of Zhao Dong and Eddie Jones are mainly to prevent Kobe’s breakthrough.
The main defensive task of Marion is to defend Kobe’s second line of defense, but the most important thing is to help defend the basket.
At this time, Eddie Jones and Zhao Dong double-teamed Harper with the ball, the latter quickly passed the ball to Kobe, and the first two immediately turned around and pounced on Kobe.
At this moment, David Robinson suddenly pulled out and asked Kobe for the ball.
When Kobe got the ball, he didn’t stop, and he flicked his hands and flew to David Robinson in an instant.
As soon as Robinson got the ball, it immediately attracted the Blazers’ defensive attention, but instead of making a shot, he threw it directly to the basket.
“boom!”
O’Neal rose up like a behemoth under the basket and sank the Blazers’ basket.
Brian Grant walked around and was pushed out of the basket by O’Neal, completely unable to make a defensive action. Marion, who went down to double-teaming, was also a bit slower.
The Blazers’ live commentator sighed: “This Big Mac is really unstoppable under the basket!”
In the TNT commentary, Barkley admired: “From the lineup, the Blazers’ five starting defenses are good. But the Lakers have three superstars, O’Neal, David Robinson, and Kobe, who need to double-team, which makes the Blazers completely impossible. Prevent any of them from being killed.
The Shark is a Big Mac who needs to double-team without the ball. Not to mention that he is under the basket. Even if he is on the two wings of the low position three meters away from the basket, he also needs to double-team without the ball, but don’t say it now. Without a double-team, the Blazers can’t even do a double-team. “
Smith said: “The Trail Blazers play two-one-two defense. Fox’s position is a bit empty. Marion’s defensive attention is more at the basket. Next, the Lakers should pay attention to it. Marion’s defense is very fast. .
If the Lakers play Fox’s open position, whether his shooting rate can be guaranteed, this is also a question. “
“He is definitely not the first choice, even if there is an open position, the basket attack is the guarantee of high efficiency.” Barkley is very sure and authentic.
Trail Blazers offense.
Grant and Oscar pulled apart completely, pulled to a position close to the three-point line, which was still within their attack range.
The Trail Blazers obviously opened up the inside line and broke through the outside line, so the Lakers also played zone defenses to prevent outside breakthroughs and return to the rim in time.
The Lakers are playing in the second and third league, defending the low post.
Phil Jackson knew that even if he played three or two zone defenses, the Lakers couldn’t prevent Zhao Dong’s breakthrough, so he simply defended the low position. Anyway, Zhao Dong jumped in and implemented double-teams in the paint zone.
He has too much experience in fighting against Zhao Dong. Zhao Dong is known as the **** of efficiency, and his main style of play is to rush in and play.
Zhao Dong advanced with the ball and approached the top of the arc. Kobe and Ron Harper pushed forward and began to double-team him on the outside.
The purpose of double-teaming him is to force him to shoot or pass the ball outside.
The last time he broke the 100, Zhao Dong made a jump shot and made a lot of three-pointers, but it was Kobe’s single defense and no double-teaming. Now he is double-teaming on the outside. Phil Jackson believes that Zhao Dong can’t be as high. With his jump shot percentage, his most likely choice is to break through.
Sure enough, Zhao Dong did not force a shot in the double team, but made a breakthrough.
“squeak!”
Suddenly exerted force under his feet, and with the sharp friction of his sneakers, Zhao Dong took a step forward, leaping out of the gap between Kobe and Harper.
The next moment, Kobe and Ron quickly closed the defense.
At this moment, Zhao Dong did not stop, suddenly he turned around quickly, walked around Harper, stepped across the free throw line, got rid of the double-team, and drove into the paint zone.
“Pretty!”
Seeing this breakthrough, Su Qun shouted excitedly.
The Lakers are O’Neal at the rim. As long as the Big Mac’s defense is willing to work hard, it is the top rim defense.
However, Zhao Dong flew up to meet the big shark without any hesitation.
Tonight, he is going to attack the two super centers and strive to beat them down as soon as possible.
Even if O’Neal pulled him off, he would not hesitate.
Only in this way can the Blazers’ chances of winning be improved.
Looking at Zhao Dong who was flying, O’Neill also made up his mind. He must make a heavy hand and teach Zhao Dong a lesson, so that he dare not attack him again.
He flew into the air, grabbing directly at Zhao Dong with both hands, not caring about the ball at all.
“Boom!”
Zhao Dong was directly pulled down and hit the floor.
“Beep!”
The referee’s whistle rang immediately.
“Huh!”
Trail Blazers fans immediately booed O’Neal.
Countless fans began to abuse O’Neal and raised countless middle fingers at him.
“Damn it, the big shark should be punished. This is a malicious foul. He wants to abolish the flying dragon.” The on-site commentator roared angrily.
“Boss!”
Grant and Little Oji rushed up immediately.
“fine.”
Zhao Dong replied, panting twice, and UU reading www.uukanshu.com got up.
“Flying dragon, I won’t be merciful.” O’Neill said solemnly.
When he pulled Zhao Dong just now, he didn’t make a protective action.
Zhao Dong stared at O’Neill and said coldly: “Do I need it?”
A chill rose in O’Neill’s heart. From Zhao Dong’s attitude, he felt that he was in trouble tonight. This guy will not let him go. He may shock him again, even if he is injured.
On the CCTV commentary, Zhang Lifang said at this time: “Zhao Dong, be careful, let alone this Western Conference finals, even in the team training game, O’Neal will not allow his teammates to detain him.”
“There should be no injuries, Zhao Dong has never been injured.” Su Qun said.
“His physique is indeed super tough.” Zhang Yangyi laughed.
“Huh! Huh!”
Zhao Dong hit two consecutive goals to equalize the score.
