Chapter 50: Defense
Bang bang... As Zhao Dong dribbled, he pushed Ewing toward the basket. Ewing, with a similar build to Mourning, was dealing with a knee injury. Despite not being fully recovered, he pushed back, knowing that Zhao Dong's weak-side defense was strong. With the Knicks focusing much of their defensive efforts on Zhao Dong inside, he found it easier to make his move. It only took two steps for him to get within a step of the basket.
Just as Mourning felt that he was in position, with the three-second violation almost upon him, he quickly spun around, preparing for a dunk. As he made his move to leap and dunk with a single step, Ewing and Zhao Dong simultaneously jumped to block the shot.
Snap! Zhao Dong, leaping higher than the aging Ewing, had more time to adjust in the air. He perfectly timed his block, swatting the ball away.
"Beautiful! Zhao Dong delivers a stunning block!" the commentator roared with excitement.
The three players landed, and Ewing caught the ball. The Knicks quickly transitioned to offense. Zhao Dong was ready to sprint down the court, but PJ Brown managed to block his path, preventing him from moving quickly.
As the play continued, Ewing took the ball on the right wing of the frontcourt. Zhao Dong, sensing Ewing's discomfort, moved toward the basket, positioning himself for a possible rebound. Despite PJ Brown's solid defense, his smaller build and lack of strength couldn't stop Zhao Dong. The two battled for position under the basket, but Zhao Dong managed to pin Brown and secure the best spot for the rebound.
Ewing, trying to shake off his cold streak, turned and took a jumper—only to miss. Zhao Dong quickly grabbed the offensive rebound.
"Wait, what?" Zhao Dong was caught off guard by a hand slamming into his back, sending a chill down his spine. He instinctively let out a startled cry, but before he could react, a large hand swatted the ball out of his grasp.
"Oh no, Zhao Dong made a mistake! PJ Brown successfully steals the ball, and the Heat are on the counterattack!" the commentator shouted.
"Damn it!" Zhao Dong muttered under his breath, immediately turning and chasing after PJ Brown. He was frustrated, humiliated, and angry.
"Hey, Zhao Dong's posture seems a bit off. He's not chasing down as quickly as usual," Bill Walton remarked, surprised, during the TNT live broadcast.
"Yeah, I noticed that too," Matt responded, also puzzled.
Boom! Mourning sprinted in front of Ewing, cutting in from the wing. He caught a pass from Tim Hardaway and...

dunked. 2:4, the Knicks attack. "Boy, what happened just now?" Ewing came over and asked Zhao Dong. Zhao Dong blushed, shook his head and said, "It's okay, that bastard did a little trick." Oakley also came over, glanced at PJ Brown, and whispered: "Be careful, this guy's movements are a bit disgusting, sometimes he will gently touch your key parts." Zhao Dong shuddered when he heard this, and his skin got goosebumps. When the ball reached the frontcourt, Zhao Dong didn't go into the basket. Instead, he took a low position on the right wing and asked for the ball to the top of the arc. Charlie Ward looked at Ewing, and the latter didn't make a move to ask for the ball, so he gave it to Zhao Dong. In the past, he might not have given it to Zhao Dong, but to Alan Houston, but in the last game, Zhao Dong defeated the Rain Man with a strong posture, and just now he beat Iron Man Mourning violently in the aisle, which gave him a lot The shock and deterrence, the psychology has changed. PJ Brown didn't go around the front to defend. He wanted to copy the defense just now, so that this Chinese rookie could understand that on the court, strength is the most important thing. Just as Zhao Dong was about to catch the ball, with a bang, Brown's right hand was inserted into the back door again. "asshole!" The vital point was destroyed again, and the anger in Zhao Dong's heart soared instantly. At this moment, when he got the ball, he suddenly kicked his back. Brown, who weighs only 102 kilograms, did not expect Zhao Dong to arch his back with all his strength in this position. He was not mentally prepared at all, and retreated with a bang. 1/15/25, 8:55 PM NBA Dynasty Sniper - Chapter 50 Defense https://www.fanmtl.com/novel/6937888_50.html 3/10 But Zhao Dong immediately turned around and stepped out after arching his back, and began to break through. It was a coincidence that this kick stepped on Brown's crotch. "what!" Brown screamed horribly for a moment. "what?" The sound was so frightening that Zhao Dong jumped up in fright. "Didi!" The referee hurriedly blew the whistle. "Oh, oh, damn it, I'm hurt, I need a doctor, oh, damn it!" Brown yelled incoherently, sweating profusely with his legs crossed. "doctor!" The referee hurriedly shouted at the Heat's bench. "Feilong, have you been recruited again?" Oakley ran to Zhao Dong with a grin. "No." How could Zhao Dong admit that someone had fucked his ass, and he shook his head quickly. At this time, the Heat team doctor ran up, opened Brown's shorts, and was shocked. The second child had already started to swell, and the egg was broken. He wiped his sweat and motioned for the stretcher. "Feilong, I just saw this kid make a bad move behind your back, could it be yours?" Oakley glanced at Zhao Dong's butt suspiciously, and asked curiously: "You were just dumped by
Perfect the grammar to professional level and you can change some words but don't change the essence of the story and I want it to be grade 10/10 and removed flying Dragon and change it to his name Zhao Dong
Sure, here is the passage rewritten with improved grammar and a more professional tone:
A Deceptive Move
The Knicks were on the attack after a powerful dunk, the score standing at 24-2. Ewing approached Zhao Dong, concern etched on his face. "What just happened out there?" he inquired. Flustered, Zhao Dong simply shook his head and mumbled, "It's nothing. That underhanded player just used a cheap trick."
Oakley joined them, his gaze fixed on PJ Brown. "Be on guard," he cautioned in a hushed tone. "This guy's tactics are unorthodox. He might try to exploit your vulnerabilities unexpectedly." A shiver ran down Zhao Dong's spine as he absorbed Oakley's words.
When the ball reached the frontcourt, Zhao Dong opted to forgo driving to the basket. Instead, he positioned himself low on the right wing and signaled for the ball at the top of the arc. Charlie Ward glanced at Ewing, who didn't make a move to receive the pass. Consequently, Ward passed the ball to Zhao Dong.
In the past, Ward might have opted for a different player, perhaps Alan Houston. However, Zhao Dong's recent performance had instilled a sense of respect in his teammates. His dominant display against both "Rain Man" and "Iron Man" had demonstrably shaken them, altering their perception of him.
PJ Brown opted to stay put, intending to replicate the defensive strategy he had just employed. His aim was to remind the rookie that physical strength reigned supreme on the court. Just as Zhao Dong prepared to receive the ball, Brown's hand darted towards his back once more.
"Foul!" An enraged Zhao Dong felt a surge of anger course through him as his vulnerable spot was targeted again. In that split second, as he caught the ball, he instinctively arched his back with all his might. Brown, considerably lighter at 102 kilograms, was wholly unprepared for this maneuver. Caught off guard, he stumbled backward with a yelp.
An Unfortunate Consequence
Capitalizing on the momentary advantage, Zhao Dong spun around and launched into a drive. It was purely coincidental that his back arch maneuver made contact with Brown's groin.
"Ugh!" Brown shrieked in agony, doubling over in pain. "What the...?" The sheer intensity of the sound startled even Zhao Dong.
The referee promptly blew his whistle to halt play. "Medic! We need medical attention here!" he bellowed urgently.
Brown writhed on the court, incoherent shouts escaping his lips as sweat beaded on his forehead. The Heat's medical team rushed onto the court, their faces grim as they examined Brown's injury. The referee signaled for a stretcher.
"Zhao Dong," Oakley said with a mischievous grin, "did you get another cheap shot in?"
"Absolutely not," Zhao Dong retorted, adamantly denying any wrongdoing. He couldn't possibly admit to such a maneuver in a professional setting.
The team doctor confirmed Brown's injury, his expression grave. With swift movements, he prepared Brown for transport off the court.
Oakley cast a suspicious glance at Zhao Dong's backside. "Just saw that kid make a strange move behind you. Did you have something to do with that?" he pressed, his curiosity piqued.
"There was nothing to it," Zhao Dong insisted, his voice laced with exasperation.
Zhao Dong's face darkened, his expression becoming intense as he glared at Oakley and gestured with a middle finger. Oakley, unable to contain himself, burst into laughter, his shoulders shaking. "What a strange defender," Zhao Dong muttered in frustration.
"Look, it's playing the clip in reverse," Ewing pointed out, referencing the screen. Zhao Dong's face grew even darker as he saw the replay of the earlier incident. He was annoyed by the director's choice to focus on it.
On the TNT live broadcast, Bill Wharton noticed the replay and laughed. "Zhao Dong got tricked! PJ Brown really knows how to get under his skin." Matt joined in, laughing so hard he had trouble catching his breath. "If this were the playoffs, PJ would have succeeded in getting Zhao Dong off his game."
Meanwhile, the fans reacted vocally, some criticizing PJ Brown, while others found humor in the situation. Brown was carried off the court, and the referee approached Zhao Dong, giving him an offensive foul.
Van Gundy called from the sidelines, "Zhao Dong, do you want to take a break?"
"No," Zhao Dong responded, his frustration palpable. He had already committed a foul, made two turnovers, and been outplayed by Brown twice. He was determined to stay on the court.
Pat Riley, watching the situation unfold, scolded Brown for his tactics. "This kind of move is fine in the playoffs, but using it now is a mistake. Zhao Dong will adapt, and it won't work again."
Riley then called in backup center Isaac Austin. "Isaac, on offense, use your mid-range shot to pull Zhao Dong out. On defense, you need to hold your ground and prevent him from getting near the basket. You can do this, and you must." Riley's voice was firm and intense.
"Yes, coach," Austin replied nervously.
"Also, when switching between offense and defense, you must limit Zhao Dong's fast breaks," Riley continued, emphasizing the importance of containing the pace of the game.
"Yes, coach, I will," Austin responded quickly, determined to follow the plan.
