Chapter 281 As Big as Being Traded

Zhao Dong defended the postman alone. The latter made 1 of 5 shots and 2 of 2 free throws. He only scored 4 points in the first quarter. This is why the digital team fell behind.

Zhao Dong did not play the main offense. He only took 6 shots and hit 4 goals. He did not hit the basket directly. He only made emergency stop jumpers. He also made 3 of 3 free throws and scored 11 points.

As for others, Willis made 2 of 3 shots, Big Ben made 1 of 2 shots, Madman made 3 of 5 shots, and Billups made 1 of 3 shots.

"Contrary to the game against the Bulls, the Knicks were in full bloom in this game, while the numbers team's scoring was relatively concentrated, but this also reflects the versatility of the Knicks' tactics." Zhang Li said with a smile.

"Yes, you can use Zhao Dong's main attack tactics, but you can also use more blooming tactics, which will make it more difficult for the opponent to defend." Sun Zhenping said with a smile.

"Scoring is too concentrated, which will test the person's touch. Once the touch becomes cold, it will be difficult to score. Moreover, the shots are too concentrated, and it is easier for the opponent to defend. Once the double-teaming on him is strengthened, the efficiency will definitely decrease. , This is also the reason why ordinary teams require more even scoring." Zhang Li said with a smile.

"The reason why the Knicks can play a scoring-focused tactic is because Zhao Dong's efficiency is so high that opponents can't guard him, and his shooting percentage in double-teams is not low." Sun Zhenping said with a smile.

As Zhao Dong said, the numbers team this season is very strong, but it cannot beat the Knicks because he can beat the Postman on both offense and defense.

The result of this game also proved that his words were true. 108:88, the Knicks won by 20 points, with a huge advantage.

Zhao Dong played for thirty-six minutes, exactly three quarters. There was no main attack in the first quarter, but he stepped up his offense later and scored 40+ points on the digital team.

However, he did not attack the paint area too much and did not try his best to test the defensive strength of Postman and Ratliff, which was somewhat surprising.

A total of four attacks, two were successful, one was pulled down, two free throws were awarded, and one near-basket throw in a double-team was missed.

Iverson was also outstanding. In 42 minutes, he made 13 of 28 shots, 3 of 7 three-pointers, and 8 of 11 free throws. He scored 37 points. Although he did not score 50+, he was already a superstar and his efficiency was also high. Very high.

Hubie Brown commented after the game: "The digital team has two problems, which are related to whether it can ultimately pose a threat to the Knicks.

First, the postman was killed by a flying dragon.

There was an elbow battle between him and Feilong, but his elbows really couldn't deal with Feilong and he couldn't get the space to take action.

Second, the digital team couldn't guard against Feilong at all.

Feilong's escape ability was too strong, coupled with the speed of the top defender, the digital team sent several role players up, but they couldn't control Feilong using foul tactics.

As for these two problems of the digital team, I think they are also problems faced by other teams facing Feilong. "

Cook smiled and said: “Facts have proved that whether it is zone defense or man-to-man, even the Flying Dragon Law cannot prevent the Flying Dragon.

Unless, there is another bad boy army, with various unconventional defenses to prevent the Dragons from scoring, just like the bad boy army did against Jordan. "

Hearing this, he suddenly said with a fierce face: "Listen up, I want to see Jordan's blood tonight."

"Ha ha!"

Seeing Cook imitating Chuck Daly, Hubie Brown laughed twice and said with a smile: "But Feilong is not Jordan. Jordan will only use his scoring to fight back against the Bad Boys, and Feilong, he will definitely choose to use the same If you fight back in a certain way, the situation will get out of control."

Cook quickly shook his head and said: "No, Feilong will not fight back in the manner of the Bad Boy Legion. He will fight back in a more violent way. I don't think any of the Bad Boy Legion is his opponent."

"Ha ha……"

Hubie Brown laughed a few times, and then said: "I agree, just like when he knocked out Tyson."

At the scene, Zhao Dong accepted a post-match interview.

"Feilong, why didn't you score 50 points this time?" a reporter asked.

"Why do I have to score 50+?" Zhao Dong asked doubtfully.

"Prove to Iverson that you are better than him!" the reporter said.

"Are you crazy?"

Zhao Dong's eyes widened and he said in surprise: "Do you think I need to prove to Iverson that I am better than him? I scored more than one 50+ points on the Bulls in the two Eastern Conference Finals. I have long ago I don’t need to prove my strength to anyone, including Michael Jordan.

No basketball player in this world has the right to question my ability, no one. "

"Uh, this?" The reporter was speechless.

An hour later, the Knicks press conference was held.

"Feilong, do you still have the same evaluation of this digital team as before?" a reporter from the New York Times asked.

Zhao Dong nodded and said: "Yes, it has no ability to make me change my evaluation of it."

"Feilong, what changes do you think the digital team needs to have the strength to defeat the Knicks?" a local reporter asked.

Zhao Dong joked: "Just select me in 1996."

"Haha..." Many people at the scene burst into laughter.

"What advice do you have for Iverson?" the reporter asked again.

Zhao Dongdao: "He is good enough now, and his control of speed during breakthroughs is very good, which has greatly increased his escape ability.

The main function of rhythm control is this. It allows you to disrupt the defender's rhythm and then get rid of him. This is the main reason for the increase in hit rate.

If Iverson can further improve this ability, he can become even stronger. "

"Feilong, Iverson's speed control is somewhat similar to yours. Do you think he is learning your breakthrough skills?"

asked the next reporter.

"This is indeed my strength, but it doesn't matter whose skills Iverson learns. Just as I have also learned the skills of many people, learning from each other is an important way to progress. There is an old saying from the Chinese sages, three people walking together will make progress. That’s why you have my teacher.” Zhao Dong smiled.

"Feilong, you hit the penalty area very few times in this game. Why is that?" the next reporter asked.

"Since I can beat the digital team without attacking the penalty area, why should I bother? The postman is known as the king of mid-range shots. He relies on his elbows to gain shooting space and a high shooting rate, and my ability to escape is better than him. My The mid-range shot is more accurate than him, and the shooting rate has never been lower than 55%. With this shooting rate, I can kill any team. If you want to be my opponent, you must not forget this." Zhao Dong said with a smile. .

On the other side, the digital team’s press conference is also being held.

"Coach Brown, the team suffered a huge defeat, what do you think is the reason?" a reporter from the Philadelphia Daily News asked.

"We allowed Wyvern to score too many points, and he was asking for everything on the Postman, and I'm disappointed with that," Larry Brown said.

The postman sitting next to him had an ugly expression on his face. Larry Brown was doubting his ability to his face.

He has tried his best, and now his body is covered with Feilong's elbow marks, which can be said to be scarred, but he really can't guard against Feilong. This can't be blamed on him, that guy is too strong, better than anyone he has encountered. powerful.

"Mr. Head Coach, speaking of Feilong, today he was more of a mid-range shooter. Our defense against him outside the paint area failed. Judging from the game situation, the team is obviously not well prepared for this, right?" the reporter asked.

Larry Brown looked a little ugly and said: "We were prepared that he would attack our penalty area, but we didn't expect that he would use his mid-range shot more. He was too cunning, which really made us insufficiently prepared inside. .

But in the second half, I had already adjusted my defensive strategy, but the postman's defense was not timely enough. When Feilong broke through the small forward on the outside and approached the paint area, he failed to defend in time. "

The postman couldn't bear it anymore and grabbed the microphone placed in front of Iverson and said: "Excuse me, I'm sorry, I want to explain that Feilong uses emergency stop jumpers, and we play man-to-man defense. Once he is in When he breaks through from the outside, we don't have anyone to slow him down in time. We rely entirely on inside defense. That doesn't work at all, because he didn't come in. He made an emergency stop jumper outside the paint area, and Leo and I couldn't make up for it at all. , This cannot be blamed on us, we did not arrange a tactic to cover the flanks and double-team him after he broke through."

"oh!"

All the reporters in the audience exclaimed.

They were not surprised by what the postman said, but that there was a problem between the postman and Larry Brown.

Larry Brown's face became ugly. As an academic, what he actually hates most is the influence of superstars on the team, which makes him have very weak control over the team.

Last season, the conflicts between Iverson and Coleman, and the conflicts between Iverson and Jerry Stackhouse, gave him a headache.

Just one Iverson gave him a headache, and the current email combination gave him even more headaches.

Especially the postman, his qualifications are too high. Once he came to the team, even Iverson's limelight was suppressed. Although Iverson is still the leader of this team, it is only in name and in name only. In fact, other The players are looking at the postman's face.

He could still barely suppress Iverson. After all, Iverson had no qualifications, but after the postman came in, he now has almost no control over this team.

Iverson didn't say anything. He was very disappointed with tonight's game. He was very disappointed with the performance of the Postman who only scored 12 points.

He knew that head coach Larry Brown had been trying to suppress Postman, and he had helped a lot, but Postman's status in the locker room was too high, and other players simply did not dare not listen. Postman had already affected his role in the team. status.

At this time, a reporter asked about his head.

"Aaron, what do you think of the postman's performance tonight?" the next reporter asked.

"I...we all need to do better." He asked after pondering for a moment.

"Do you think the team's failure to defend Feilong was due to the postman or the team's lack of preparation?" the reporter asked.

This kind of direct question made it difficult for Iverson to answer. Of course he didn't want to fall out with the head coach or the postman, so he thought about it and replied: "Both of them."

Well, this kind of answer that did not offend both sides offended both sides. The postman and Larry Brown both looked at Iverson and were dissatisfied with him.

That night, the Knicks rushed back to New York because they had a back-to-back game tomorrow night.

When Zhao Dong woke up at 10 a.m. on the 16th, Lindsay had already gone to work.

After taking a shower and eating the breakfast prepared by Lindsay, he called Da Zhi.

"Brother Dong?"

"Da Zhi, you didn't play last night?"

"No, Brother Dong."

"Have you talked to Phil Jackson? He is a professional coach and he will not let you play just because I eliminated the Bulls."

"Oh, we talked about it once."

"How did he say?"

"He said, he told me to practice defense well." Da Zhi's tone was very low, full of disappointment.

Zhao Dong was not surprised and asked: "Then what is your current attitude towards defense?"

"Brother Dong, I know I was wrong." Da Zhi sighed.

"It's not too late to know that I was wrong now. I'm afraid you know that you are wrong, but you are still the same." Zhao Dong said.

"Charles?"

He hung up Da Zhi's phone and called Oakley.

"Feilong, are you doing this for the king?"

"Yes, please tell me what Phil Jackson's specific attitude is."

Oakley said: "Yesterday afternoon I asked Wang to see Phil Jackson once, and the conversation ended after only one minute. Wang was still too introverted.

I couldn't ask Jackson myself, so I asked Michael. He said that Phil Jackson was dissatisfied with Wang's defense in the interior and would not give Wang a chance to play until he practiced defense well.

I also noticed that in training, the king is really not willing to engage in strong confrontation defense inside.

You also know that if the Bulls play the Knicks, they will face your impact. They have no strong confrontation ability inside and have no chance to win. Have you forgotten how you eliminated the Bulls in the last Eastern Conference Finals? "

"I see."

After ending the phone call, Zhao Dong thought about it and made another call to Neil Grant.

He wants to trade Da Zhi. As long as Da Zhi understands his mistake, there is no need to stay with the Bulls who have no chance.

"Nyle, can you initiate a trade to the Bulls?" He didn't say who to trade because he believed Grant knew.

Sure enough, Grant said: "Feilong, you want the king? I also noticed that the Bulls did not give a chance. Let me test Phil Jackson first to see if he is willing and what chips he wants."

In Chicago, the Bulls were getting on the plane for an away game when Phil Jackson's cell phone rang.

"You want a king?"

Phil Jackson knew that Grant would call. He had been waiting for the call and immediately said: "Wang can be traded, but I want Mobley + China Hu."

"Go and dream your dream!"

Grant on the other end cursed secretly and said with a smile: "Coach Jackson, you can choose one of the two people, otherwise Wang will apply for a trade himself, and you may not get anything.

We don't necessarily want Wang to come to the Knicks, we just want him to have a chance to play, and it's the same when he plays for other teams. "

Phil Jackson smiled and said, "Then I want Mobley."

"make a deal."

Grant said immediately.

DaZhi and Mobley are ranked next to each other, with the former at 27 in the first round and the latter at 29 in the first round. They are single swaps.

Phil Jackson hung up the phone, pleased with the deal.

After all, Jordan is starting to age, and he needs to find a strong substitute at the second position, and Mobley has shown good potential in the Knicks' first five games and is the shooting guard substitute he needs.

After Zhao Dong got the news, he immediately called Da Zhi, but his phone was turned off, so he sent a text message telling Da Zhi about being traded.

But he didn't need to tell him. As soon as Phil Jackson got on the flying dragon, he came to Da Zhi's side.

Dazao looked at Jackson nervously, not knowing what the other party would say.

"Wang, you have been traded." Jackson said with a smile.

"ah?"

He was startled, his heart skipped a beat, and he was very confused.

Oakley, who was sitting in front, stood up and said thoughtfully: "Coach, is he going to the Knicks?"

Da Zhi was startled again and couldn't help but look at Jackson.

Jackson nodded and said, "Yes, we got Mobley, the Knicks' rookie shooting guard."

DaZhi laughed and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Phil, this is a good deal." Jordan smiled at this time.

"Now, Wang, you don't have to go to the away game with us." Phil Jackson said.

As soon as I got off the plane and turned on my phone, I saw Zhao Dong's text message and quickly dialed it.

"Wells will go to Chicago in the afternoon, and you will come to New York tomorrow." Zhao Dong said.

"Thank you, Brother Dong." Da Zhi said excitedly.

"When I come to the Knicks, the first thing I do, whether it's training or games, is to start with defense," Zhao Dong said.

"I understand, I will work hard." Da Zhi said quickly.

That night, the Knicks defeated the Magic and won their first six consecutive games.

At three o'clock in the afternoon on the 18th, Ringo Wells arrived in New York with Da Zhi.

Zhao Dong made an appointment with Hu Weidong and went to the airport to pick them up. When they met, he joked: "Da Zhi, let's go round and round, should you be from the Knicks or the Knicks?"

"Brother Dong, I disappoint you." Da Zhi said clearly.

"It's okay. The Bulls are a championship team. Jordan has very strict requirements on his teammates. You have no chance at all. I guess it's also his reason." Zhao Dong said with a smile.

"Feilong, Wang's defense is a weakness, but the Knicks pay more attention to defense. Is he here?" Wells said with some doubts.

"We are a defensive team, but Nelson is an offensive coach. He likes players like Da Zhi very much. I think Da Zhi has a chance here." Zhao Dong said with a smile.

"That's good."

Wells breathed a sigh of relief, but said: "Actually, I think it would be better for Wang to go to a weak team. In his rookie season on championship teams like the Bulls and Knicks, there is too much pressure and few opportunities."

The three of them arrived at the headquarters. Grant and Nelson were already waiting. DaZhi completed the registration and became a member of the Knicks.

Zhao Dong and Old Nelson chatted about major issues.

Nelson said: "I have considered this issue before the draft. The current inside lineup, the combination of Ben and Danny, has a poor offense.

As for the combination of Ben and Willis, Willis's speed is too slow and the combination's defense capabilities are not enough.

If it is Ben and Wang, the defensive strength between the combination is not enough, but Wang's offense is better than the current Willis, he is younger, he has very good footwork, and his playing is very smart. The cooperation between the two , which can make our inside offense and defense more balanced.

As for interior defense, Feilong, you need to make up for this. Your defense speed can do this. "

Zhao Dongdao: "His defense still needs to be improved, and I will urge him on this."

"I feel relieved about this. Your interior defense is top-notch. With your supervision, I think he will make great progress after this season."

Old Nelson nodded and smiled.
