Chapter 171 Starburst Tactic + Elimination of Jordan

"This is not the way." Zhao Dong became anxious.

At this time, his heart moved, and he remembered a tactic that hadn't appeared yet.

"Crack..."

He clapped his hands vigorously, and after others looked over, he said to Van Gundy: "Coach, I have an idea..."

He swiped at the free throw line on Van Gundy's tactical board and said, "We can play like this..."

After talking, everyone, including Van Gundy, was stunned.

"Is it useful? Who taught you?" Van Gundy asked suspiciously.

"Some people have tried it on the field, but no one has used this kind of serving tactic in the league. Regardless of whether it is useful or not, it can catch them by surprise. What if it succeeds?" Zhao Dong said.

"Okay." Van Gundy nodded.

He and Thibodeau were so embarrassed, the coaching staff couldn't come up with a tactic, but a rookie came up with a tactic that he had never heard of, whether it was useful or not, at least it was a tactic that could be used within 1.1 seconds.

At this point the timeout ends and play resumes.

Oakley was on the left line ready to serve.

The other four lined up, facing Oakley, with Zhao Dong at the back.

"Hey, what is this for?" Countless people were dumbfounded.

Including several commentators, none of them knew what the Knicks were trying to do.

The Bulls don't understand either, including Jordan and Phil Jackson on the sidelines, who don't know what the Knicks are doing.

Jordan and the other five Bulls players couldn't figure it out, and they didn't know how to stand in a defensive position, so they could only stand next to the person they wanted to watch.

At this time the whistle blew and it was time to serve.

"run!"

Two seconds later, Zhao Dong suddenly shouted.

In an instant, the four exploded like bombs.

This time, the Bulls players didn't know how to react at all.

Similarly, it also includes Pippen next to Zhao Dong.

Zhao Dong rushed from Pippen's side to the basket. At this time, Oakley pushed the ball to the basket with both hands.

"Boom!"

Seeing the ball flying towards him, Zhao Dong stepped on the ground, grabbed the basketball with both hands, and smashed it into the basket.

"boom!"

The violent sound of exploding baskets sounded in the United Center Arena, which shattered the hearts of all the home fans.

"Aw!"

Zhao Dong was swinging high above the basket, he was so excited that he roared crazily.

97:96, he killed the Bulls, he won the bet of the basketball god, he completed the sniper mission of the basketball god, and he successfully slaughtered the god.

Jordan looked at Zhao Dong who was hanging on the basket, his mouth was wide open, he couldn't believe all this, he was killed by Zhao Dong again, and he was killed in such a way.

At this moment, he who was close to victory was too unwilling!

"ah!"

When the sound of exploding the rim sounded, all the members of the management and coaching staff, and all the away fans on the Knicks bench stood up and screamed crazily.

"yeah!"

In the live broadcast of CCTV, Zhang Lili and Sun Zhenping shouted excitedly.

"Zhao Dong killed the Bulls with a dunk. He killed the Bulls. He led the Knicks to eliminate Jordan's team. He fulfilled his promise. He made Jordan and the Bulls the second dynasty. Dreams gone..."

Sun Zhenping shouted excitedly.

"Unbelievable tactics, who came up with this?" Bill Wharton was tongue-tied in the TNT live broadcast.

"The Bulls were eliminated, which is so surprising! But this is a matter of course, because the Knicks have this strength. Congratulations to the Knicks, you have reached the finals." Matt shouted.

"Yes, congratulations to the Knicks. After the 1993-94 season, only two seasons later, they made it to the finals again. I hope your championship dreams will come true this season." Bill Walton laughed.

On the field, Zhao Dong yelled at Jordan: "Mr. Jordan, is your dream of being a basketball god awake now?"

"damn it!"

Jordan gritted his teeth angrily, turned around and left.

"Retire, your era is over, now is my era, mine!" Behind Jordan, Zhao Dong roared unscrupulously.

At this time, all the Knicks players rushed over, and then the coaching staff and management formed a group.

"Feilong, thank you!"

In the innermost part, Ewing embraced Zhao Dong, with tears covering his face.

He has played for 13 seasons, entered the finals only once, and was eliminated by Jordan four times. This time he finally got his revenge, killed Jordan and stepped into the finals. He was really happy and excited.

At this time in Salt Lake City, under the organization of the team, all Jazz players watched the game together at the headquarters.

"Everyone get ready, we will usher in a difficult finals." Head coach Jerry Sloan stood up at this time and said very seriously to everyone.

Karl Malone and Stockton glanced at each other and nodded heavily.

Jordan's team was already very strong, but it was still defeated by the Knicks. It is conceivable how strong their opponents in the finals are.

After celebrating with his teammates in the United Center arena, Zhao Dong was surrounded by media reporters.

"Feilong, congratulations, you have done what you said, you interrupted the second dynasty of the Bulls, what is the thing you most want to say and do now?"

The team reporter Thomas asked excitedly.

Zhao Dong smiled and said: "What do you want to say most? What do you want to do? Well, what I want to say most, I want to say to Jordan, the basketball god's bet is over, you lost, I won, and now you cash in It's time to make a bet."

"Oh, don't worry, Feilong, all the New York media will urge him for you." Thomas laughed.

"So what do you want to do most?"

Zhao Dong thought for a while and said, "On June 2, the finals will start. What I want to do the most is to go back to New York and rest and prepare for the game."

"Feilong, tonight is your fourth lore against the Bulls, against Jordan, and your third in the Eastern Conference Finals. Can you tell us that your last attack has never failed? What's the secret?"

Zhao Dong laughed loudly and said, "Aside from strength, it's luck. In my life, I've had good luck."

"Feilong, what kind of tactic was that in the final attack?" A reporter asked.

"Starburst tactics." Zhao Dong laughed.

"Oh, Starburst Tactics?" Everyone was surprised.

At this time, Zhao Dong finished the on-site interview, and now he is going to present the Eastern Conference championship trophy.

League Vice President Lanier Prowess congratulated the Knicks before presenting the trophy.

Zhao Dong could see that the smile on Lanier Prohua's face was a bit forced.

He knew that this was because Jordan was eliminated, and the league's signature could not participate in the finals, which would definitely lead to a huge loss of benefits.

The development of the NBA league was on the fast track because of Jordan. Jordan retired for the first time, causing the ratings of the league season to plummet. Nike shares fell by 4% in a single day. After his comeback, Nike shares soared 30%, and the ratings of the league returned. On track, that's his influence.

After the media took pictures, Zhao Dong came to Lindsay's side.

"Feilong, congratulations, you defeated Jordan." Lindsay smiled when he came to the sidelines.

"Thank you, beating Jordan is as important to me as winning the championship." Zhao Dong laughed.

After seeing off Lindsay and the wives, Zhao Dong and the others hurried back to the locker room.

Boss Dolan prepared the champagne, and when he entered, he congratulated wildly, as if he had won the championship.

But the Knicks have been suppressed by Jordan and the Bulls for so many years. The significance of defeating Jordan and the Bulls this time is no less than winning the championship. From the management to the players, everyone is so happy.

After taking a shower, Zhao Dong and Ewing went to the post-match press conference.

"By the way, Feilong, here are the game data of the Eastern Conference Finals." On the way, Thibodeau handed over a stack of papers.

"Thanks!"

Zhao Dong took it over, turned to his item and took a look.

In this game, he played 48 minutes, made 15 of 24 shots, 2 of 3 three-pointers, 6 of 8 free throws, scored 38 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists, 3 steals, 7 blocks, 2 turnovers and 5 fouls.

After six games in the Eastern Conference Finals series, he averaged 44 minutes per game, made 11.3 of 20.6 shots, 54.8% from the field, 11.3 from 13.8 free throws, and 82% from the field. He averaged 35 points, 12 rebounds, 7.5 assists, 3.5 steals, 4.3 blocks, 3.33 turnovers and 4.66 fouls.

In addition, regardless of positive or negative, his seven statistics are all the first in the team, which is very strange.

He flipped through, and behind it was the Bulls' stats, and he looked at Jordan's stats.

In the just-concluded G6 game, Jordan scored 45 points in 48 minutes.

Throughout the Eastern Conference finals, he averaged 46 minutes per game. He was ten years older than him, played longer than him, and was still able to maintain a very high efficiency in the double-team. He had to admire Jordan's physique with superpowers.

He averaged 13 of 27 shots per game, 48.1% from the field, 11.8 free throws and 10.1 free throws per game, and 85% from the field. He averaged a terrifying 41.1 points, 7.7 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.8 steals, 1.3 blocks, 2.6 turnovers and 2.7 fouls per game.

"Flying Dragon, Jordan played the best and most terrifying state. This series is the highest score in his career in the playoff series, but he still lost." Thibodeau laughed.

"Our team is stronger than them, he is useless alone." Zhao Dong laughed.

"Yeah, he gave us you and the victory." Neil Grant, who was walking in front, smiled.

When I came to the press conference hall, it was crowded with media reporters, all of them were influential media in the world. It seemed that the influence of the Knicks was no less than that of the Bulls.

"The Bulls haven't started yet, people are still in the locker room, and the media has come to our side." Ross, the head of the public relations department, explained the situation.

"I'm afraid our visiting team's locker room needs to replace some equipment." Zhao Dong joked.

"Haha..." Everyone laughed when they heard it.

"Feilong, please tell me how it feels to eliminate Jordan." The first reporter to ask a question was a reporter from the Associated Press.

"Jordan is the face of the league. We eliminated him. I know a lot of people will be unhappy, such as Nike. But we are very happy. And we believe that the future is in the Knicks."

Zhao Dong said confidently.

"What do you think is the reason for defeating him? Is it your own or the team's reason?" The reporter asked.

Zhao Dong smiled and said: "Now I am still inferior to him in terms of offensive firepower, that is for sure. But in other aspects, I am better than him, or not lost to him, there is no doubt. As for the reason for defeating him , Basketball is a team sport, of course our team is stronger than the Bulls, everyone knows the Bulls are getting old."

"Flying Dragon, do you think this Bulls team will collapse?" The second reporter was Thomas.

After thinking about it, Zhao Dong said: "Jordan played the best series performance of his career. His physical fitness is declining, but his overall strength is still at its peak. As long as he is in the Bulls, the Bulls will not collapse.

But if they don't strengthen, they will be weaker next year, and their competition will be weaker against us, there is no doubt about it. "

"Flying Dragon, the finals are about to start. What do you think is the probability of the Knicks defeating the Jazz?" The third is a New York Times reporter.

"100%."

Zhao Dong's eyes became sharper, and his tone of answer was very affirmative, even tough.

This tone means that he will never accept the possibility of losing to the Jazz, not even 1%.

The Knicks eliminated the Bulls, which was too exciting for the media. The atmosphere of the press conference was very enthusiastic, and it lasted for an hour before it ended.

At this time in the locker room of the visiting team, the Knicks' press conference was over, but the Bulls still did not go to the press conference because Jordan's emotions were a little out of control.

After the end of the G1 game, because he scored a record 69 points but lost the game, he lost control of his emotions and was eliminated today, especially by Zhao Dong's team. He still doesn't want to accept this ending.

"We didn't work hard enough, we didn't work hard enough, we had to train harder, we didn't put in enough..."

The locker room was full of his roaring, and other players, including Pippen, dared not say a word.

There was only Rodman, who didn't care, and listened to music with headphones in his ears.

"Michael, I want to talk to you. Let's put aside our prejudices and have a sincere talk?" At this time, general manager Jerry Krause came out and said to Jordan.

Jordan gasped twice and looked at Klaus.

The relationship between him and Klaus is getting worse and worse. He once publicly abused Klaus with the worst words on the bus, confronted Klaus countless times, and had a big fight after the regular season. Admittedly, Klaus is the founder of the Bulls dynasty and a general manager with extremely strong capabilities.

"What do you want to say?" He stared at Klaus and asked coldly.

"The Bulls need to change. If you want to win the dragons and the Knicks, we must make changes. In fact, you understand. I hope you can calmly consider this matter."

Klaus said very calmly.

"Flying dragon?" Jordan clenched his teeth.

His dream of being the god of basketball was picked up by Zhao Dong, but was smashed by Zhao Dong, and the dream of the Second Dynasty was also destroyed. He also had to face the bet of apologizing to Zhao Dong. For Zhao Dong, he was The hatred to the bone has surpassed his dislike of Jerry Krause.

"Go to the development conference now, and then go back to Chicago tomorrow to talk?" Klaus said.

"good."

Jordan is also a very decisive person with strong control, so he nodded and agreed.

This means that he has accepted Klaus's opinion, and the relationship between the two is likely to undergo changes that they never thought of before.

In fact, with his relationship with Klaus, this Bulls team may collapse at any time, but now being eliminated has brought a turn for the relationship between him and Klaus, which he did not expect of.

This made him very unhappy, but now he needs Klaus' ability, but he can only accept this reality.

Following Jordan out of the locker room, Pippen had a bad feeling in his heart.

Because, if the relationship between Jordan and Klaus improves, and Klaus chooses to continue cleaning himself, will Jordan stop it?

Arriving at the press conference, the media reporters have already arrived here, and they are a little dissatisfied that the Bulls are always absent.

"Jordan, being eliminated by the Dragons led the team and the Bulls' second dynasty was interrupted. What does this mean to you? Will you retire?"

The first reporter to ask a question was a reporter from the Associated Press.

"How can it be?"

Jordan said coldly: "I will not retire after failure, absolutely not. Yes, our second dynasty has been interrupted, but we will maintain a strong desire for victory and a desire for a championship. We're going to build a second dynasty again, and that's the only reason I'm in the league."

"How do you evaluate Feilong? Do you think he has a chance to lead the team to win the championship in his rookie season?"

The second question was a reporter from the Washington Post.

"What I care about now is my team. For the Knicks, I don't want to comment." Jordan evaded.

"So do you regret deporting him?" the reporter asked.

"Sorry, let me interject. Giving up the contract with Feilong is a decision of our management and has nothing to do with Michael."

That's when general manager Jerry Krause said.

The reporter shrugged. He didn't believe this sentence, but since Klaus said it, he assumed the responsibility on his behalf, so this question was meaningless to Jordan.

Jordan glanced at Klaus, and he knew that it was Klaus showing his favor to him.

"Mr. Krauss, will the team strengthen during the offseason?" The third reporter was a reporter from the Chicago Sports News.

Klaus nodded and said: "There is no doubt that we need to strengthen and increase our competitiveness."

"What are the specific positions? Are there any reinforcement goals? Which players will the team be traded?" The reporter asked.

"Our insiders and strikers need to be strengthened. As for the specific targets and players to be traded, I'm sorry." Klaus said.

Pippen had an ugly face.

Klaus publicly pointed out that the striker is one of the reinforcement positions, which means that as long as Jordan agrees, he will be put on the shelf.

And his contract is not big. With his strength, the transaction value is very high, so next, he is really likely to be traded out.

unless……

He glanced at Jordan, unless Jordan stopped the management's actions, but will Jordan this time?

He knew that Jordan and Klaus had many conflicts. In the draft, Jordan hoped that the team would choose his alumni, but Klaus chose Cobra Grant. This was the first conflict between them.

And in this season, their conflicts piled up.

For example, he, as well as head coach Phil Jackson, are also two very big contradictions between Jordan and Klaus.

Phil Jackson and himself were both brought into the Bulls by Klaus, and he has been kind to them, but the poor record against the Knicks in the regular season this season gave Krause the idea of ​​​​cleaning the two of them , and mentioned it to Jordan, but was strongly opposed by Jordan, and it is said that there was a big fight that day.

Simply put, the conflict between Jordan and Klaus can no longer be resolved.

However, now that the team has been eliminated, the attitudes of Jordan and Klaus in the locker room just now show that their mentality has changed, and he cannot predict what will happen next.

He can't guarantee that Jordan will stand up for him this time.

Although Jordan is tough, the Bulls' management represented by Klaus is equally tough, and he knows this well.
