Chapter 289 O'Neill: Feilong, You Are so Shameful!
Next, after a day off on the 4th, the Knicks once again won a victory at home on the 5th, and then went on the road again.
This time I went to the West and competed against Mosaic, the Mavericks, the Clippers, and the Lakers.
This season has only fifty regular season games, so the schedule is very dense, but most of the games are scheduled within this league.
For example, the Knicks play nearly 70% of their games against Eastern Conference teams, and 30% of their games are against Western Conference teams.
These four away games in the Western Conference, between the Knicks and them, are the only opportunities for confrontation in the regular season this season.
These four away games are more cruel to the Knicks than the last three games in a row, because they will usher in another three games in a row.
On the 7th, the Knicks challenged Mosaic away from home.
Mosaic this season, because Glider retired, so Pippen was traded from the Suns to increase box office appeal.
The Suns management was also very courageous. They signed and traded and gave Pippen a five-year, $73 million contract before selling it to Mosaic. Mosaic took on this big contract in order to sell more box office. Is it a loss or a profit? ,I still do not know yet.
But without Barkley, Mosaic's strength has still declined a lot. The current ranking in the Western Conference is seventh, hovering on the edge of the playoffs.
If they don't make it to the playoffs and don't have the box office in the playoffs, then Mosaic will lose money if they swallow Pippen's big contract.
Dameng's strength is slowly declining, but he is still going strong. He has not rested a game this season. He averaged 36 minutes per game, scoring 19 points, 9.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.6 steals and 2.5 blocks, which is better than the number he retired in the Knicks. Barkley is so much better, and he is still a super center with excellent offensive and defensive performance.
In this game, because Fordson had not returned yet, Barkley was put into the starting lineup.
This season, his physical condition is actually pretty good, but his position is a bit outside and he no longer dares to be unscrupulous in the low post, focusing on jump shots.
When the starting lineup came on, the two teams met.
"Congratulations, Pi Laoer, you finally got a big contract." Zhao Dong said sincerely upon meeting.
Pippen was so angry that he groaned, damn Feilong, I just like being the second child, what's wrong with you?
"Hey,
Hakim. "
"Charles, you didn't even have a chance to play in New York, but you got the ring, and the gold content is a problem.
Buckley went over and hugged Dameng, who joked.
"The playoffs are the biggest stage. I'm accumulating my strength, you know? I will be the Knicks' main power forward in the playoffs."
Buckley shouted immediately.
Pippen said coldly: "Barkley, the Knicks' salary space is completely locked up by this guy's super contract. They paid 20 million US dollars in luxury tax this season and can no longer trade star players. They were defeated by the Bulls last time. It proves that the Knicks are no longer good, I think your thighs are in vain this time."
"Nonsense, Pi Laoer, you just locked up Mosaic's salary space. Think about it, your current data is worse than mine. Do you feel guilty for taking more than 10 million yuan a year?" Buckley said angrily.
"You are just jealous of my big contract." Pippen said proudly.
"Who's jealous?" Buckley was furious.
But to be honest, he was jealous.
Damn Mosaic, he played here for two seasons before he was given a contract of US$6.95 million. In his entire career, he only received US$4.7 million in the highest year. Of course he was jealous of Pippen's big contract.
"You are just jealous. Have you ever received an annual salary of tens of millions?" Pippen said reluctantly.
At this time, Zhao Dong said bluntly: "Is an annual salary of tens of millions a lot? But it is indeed a lot, because I didn't make much in the Knicks last year, more than one million, and including the playoff ticket dividends, it was only two million US dollars. .
But I can’t seem to figure out how much money I made from investing last year. Was it three billion U.S. dollars or six billion U.S. dollars? "
"..."
Three billion, six billion, I can't figure out how much that was. Pippen's mouth instantly opened and closed.
"Pfft!"
Barkley, Hu Weidong, and Da Ben burst into laughter.
"Damn Feilong, stop showing off your wealth here. We don't miss your money, so stop interrupting our game."
Dameng looked unconcerned.
"Hakim, do you want me to help you invest?" Zhao Dong said with a smile.
"It's a deal."
The unconcerned expression disappeared instantly, and Da Shuang immediately shouted excitedly.
Zhao Dong secretly scolded Dameng for not being a toy, but as soon as he thought about it, he nodded and said: "One condition, if I meet it, I will take you to play."
"All ten conditions are acceptable." Dameng said excitedly.
"Do you know Duke's Dayao?" Zhao Dong asked.
"Of course I know. If he participates in the draft this year, I think he will be the No. 1 pick. That year and next year too. Now March Madness is fierce. I have watched every Duke game. His performance is great." Dameng hurriedly said road.
"I didn't expect that for money, Da Meng would turn into a flatterer, and would even sell his soul for money." Pippen cursed secretly.
"This offseason, teach him your skills, including your dream pace, and by the way, the king of our team, and I will help you make a lot of money. Now Barkley is investing with me, and most of his savings are At Storm Fund, you can ask him what his rate of return is." Zhao Dong smiled.
"okokok, this is no problem at all." Dameng said excitedly.
He looked at Buckley expectantly and said, "Charles, how much did you earn?"
"I have only been investing for half a year, and I invested three million US dollars. I only had so much money, and just in time to catch up with the large-scale expansion of Storm Fund, the rate of return was astonishing, doubling directly. I made more than four million US dollars, and I invested all of it again. Get in."
Buckley said with a smile.
"oh!"
Mosaic's starters all exclaimed.
"Awesome!" Dameng said excitedly.
Like Barkley, he didn't earn much in his career. He only signed a five-year, $63 million contract in 1996. He doesn't have much money at hand now, so this opportunity is very important to him.
That night, the Knicks won Mosaic and flew to Dallas the next day, followed by the second three-game series.
On the 9th, the Knicks challenged the Mavericks away from home.
With Finley as the core, the Mavericks have been traded after trades, but they are still a bad team. They have not entered the playoffs in eight years, and this season is terrible.
However, in the third quarter of the game, Hu Weidong slipped and sprained his ankle during a breakthrough. The Knicks lost back-to-back games and suffered their second defeat of the season.
However, Hu Weidong's injury was not serious and he could return after one day's rest.
"The players' bodies are starting to get tired, and rotations must be stepped up."
Nelson decided to strengthen the rotation from now on. The schedule in the next two months will be more intensive. He does not want to see the team suffer widespread injuries.
In fact, the number of injuries among teams in the league this season is significantly higher than in previous normal seasons. Many star players have been injured, and the consequences of the lockout have appeared.
After losing to the Mavericks, the Knicks rushed to Los Angeles overnight and will face the Clippers and Lakers on the 10th and 11th.
On the 10th, after being examined by the team doctor, Hu Weidong continued to start.
In these starting games, Hu Weidong averaged 31.5 minutes per game, scoring 16.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.3 steals, 0.8 blocks, 1.2 turnovers and 2 fouls. He shot 42.5% from the field, including 37% from three-point range. His performance was not outstanding enough. But it's still ok.
Before setting off that afternoon, Zhao Dong and Hu Weidong had a chat.
He thinks Hu Weidong takes a little less shots. In the past few games, he has averaged 13 shots per game. The starting shooting guard must take at least 16 shots. When he feels good, he can take 20 shots.
"Brother Dong, the Madman will not be back for at least four or five games. This is the last chance. Try to average 20 points per game. Take action when you have the chance. Don't just pass the ball all the time. Do you give it to Billups or someone else? They The hit rate is not as good as yours." He warned.
"Where's the coach?" Hu Weidong hesitated.
"Have you not talked to Nelson? He believes that the main shooting guard must score at least 20 points. Our Knicks are not an average scoring team. As a shooting guard, your only task is to score, not pass. The team I don't need your assist." Zhao Dong said.
"Then I understand." Hu Weidong nodded.
At 6:30, the Knicks arrived at the Clippers' home arena.
The current home court of the Clippers is still the Memorial Arena next to the University of Southern California. The Staples Center, which started construction last year, has not yet been completed. It is said that it will be completed in the second half of the year. Then the Clippers will move their home court there with the Lakers and share Staples Center. Taips Arena.
Even though a bad team like the Clippers has little presence in Los Angeles, this game was not broadcast live across the United States and was not broadcast live on CCTV.
In order to help Hu Weidong score points, Zhao Dong deprived Billups of his organizational function and sent 17 assists in a single game, breaking his own assist record.
Hu Weidong played 34 minutes, making 9 of 19 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, 5 of 5 free throws, and scored 25 points.
This shot is probably the limit of his physical ability. In a strong confrontation like the NBA, every attack consumes a lot of physical energy. If he takes more shots, his efficiency will decrease.
On the evening of the 11th, the Knicks came to the Great Western Forum, the home of the Lakers.
Just as he was coming up from the parking lot, Zhao Dong ran into Kurt Rambis, the Lakers' head coach this season.
Out of politeness, he was about to say hello, but Lambis walked past him without even looking at him.
"He actually ignored me?"
Zhao Dong looked back at Rambis in surprise, and said to Buckley beside him: "You know, Charles, we have made a grudge. This grudge is getting bigger."
"Yes, we must avenge ourselves. We will kill O'Neal tonight." Barkley nodded repeatedly.
Zhao Dong nodded and said solemnly: "It is not a gentleman not to take revenge if you have a grudge. We are the New York Gentlemen Team, which is called the New York Gentlemen Team in China. There are so many of us gentlemen. This hatred is too big and we must avenge it."
"It must be repaid."
All the Knicks players nodded in unison.
Old Nelson and Xiao Fan looked at each other, are you looking for a reason to kill the Lakers?
This is a game that attracts a lot of attention, because the two teams they face are both championship-level. It is also a regular season game that determines the quality of the Knicks and Lakers. It has been broadcast nationally by TNT and CCTV. live broadcast, as well as live broadcasts from dozens of broadcasters around the world.
At 7:30, the two teams announced their starting lineup.
Knicks: Ben, Barkley, Zhao Dong, Hu Weidong, Billups.
Lakers: O'Neal, Rodman, Glen Rice, Kobe Bryant, Fisher.
In the TNT live broadcast booth, Bill Walton said: "So far, about 20 of the 50 regular season games have passed, and nearly half of the season, the Knicks have 18 wins and 2 losses, ranking first in the league.
The Lakers, without the Jazz as their archrival, have a record of 16 wins and 4 losses this season, only weaker than the Spurs and second in the Western Conference. "
Matt smiled: "After the Lakers acquired O'Neal, they were suppressed by the Jazz for years and could not get out of the Western Conference. I think the Lakers must thank the Knicks because the Knicks defeated the Jazz, otherwise the Lakers would have no chance to get out of the Western Conference."
Bill Walton smiled and said: "The Lakers with the Sharks are indeed strong enough, but they can't beat the black and white Jazz. Matt's words are right. The Lakers should thank the Knicks and Dragons.
But this season, if the Lakers want to break out of the Western Conference, they have to look at the Spurs' twin towers, otherwise they can only stare. "
Matt laughed and said: "The Lakers are in bad luck. The Jazz collapsed, but the Spurs grew again."
Bill Walton added: "The reason why the Lakers were suppressed by the Jazz and couldn't get ahead is because the power forward position was destroyed by the Postman. And this season, the Lakers are still very weak at the power forward position. If the Jazz don't collapse, I think The Lakers still can't get past the Jazz."
Matt laughed and said: "Our logo general manager signed the big bug, but it seems that the big bug doesn't like the Lakers and made a lot of jokes."
Bill Walton laughed: "Yes, Rodman's absence from team training with the Lakers caused dissatisfaction and criticism from young players such as Kobe and Fisher. Then he appeared less in training, and even recently acted in various ways. Reason for missing several games.
You know, when Jordan had to go to the hotel to find the big bug, the Lakers had no one who could suppress him. The boss O'Neal was not a authoritative guy. "
"I think the Lakers will lay off Rodman sooner or later." Matt joked.
"possible."
Bill Walton laughed and said: "But the big bug appeared in this game. Does he want to seek revenge from Feilong? In last year's Eastern Conference Finals, he and Ewing were reduced to scum by Feilong, and they all left the game injured."
"Kobe, pass me some good balls tonight. I'm going to dunk that idiot Feilong, and I'm going to give him a basket." In the home team's locker room, O'Neal stood in front of him with his hands on his hips and yelled to Kobe.
"Okay, Shaq, just wait." Kobe nodded and smiled.
In the visiting team's locker room, Zhao Dong was sitting on the toilet. He was suddenly startled because the system that had been silent for a long time jumped out on its own.
"Sniper mission?"
I was overjoyed to see that this season, only the first game had a mission, and I got two skill points. After that, the system seemed to be paralyzed.
Superstar Sniper Mission: Host, Shark O'Neal wants to dunk you and change the basket for you, you must respond strongly to this.
Task requirements: 1. Go to the home team's locker room; 2. Dunk O'Neal three times in tonight's game; 3. Replace O'Neal with three rebounds; 4. Lead the team to a victory over the Lakers, with a point difference of at least 20 points; 5. Score 50+ points.
Mission reward: Complete all mission options and receive a talent draw.
"Lie down!"
When he saw the task options, Zhao Dong's eyes almost dropped. The system really understood him. He was just trying to get the Lakers, so he issued this task. He killed two birds with one stone tonight!
"Three dunks and three boards to replace. System, do you want me to kill the shark?" he couldn't help but complain.
"Lie down!"
When he saw the reward, he cursed again.
"What a great thing! I didn't expect that the system would win a big prize this time." Zhao Dong became excited, he must get this big prize.
"Shark, I will love you very much tonight. I will set up a big pot and cook you in one pot, haha!" He laughed wildly in his heart.
"Ah owe! Ah owe! Ah owe!"
In the home team's locker room, O'Neal didn't feel very good. His back felt cold and he sneezed three times in a row.
"well!"
Jerry West frowned and looked at Da Chong. His careless look made him feel helpless. He regretted signing Da Chong.
This big bug not only doesn't train himself, but even leads Shark astray. Shark has not worked hard in recent training, and has become antagonistic to the young players in the team. The atmosphere of the team is far worse than last season.
What's even more outrageous is that Da Chong has recently stopped playing games for various personal reasons and hangs out with some female stars every day. He has been completely dazzled by the prosperity of Los Angeles.
"Why did he show up today?" Kobe said to Fisher in a medium voice.
"Has your conscience been discovered?" Fisher said.
Rodman heard the conversation between the two, glanced at it, and said nothing, but two minutes later, he began to pack the closet.
"Dennis, what are you doing?" Head coach Kurt Rambis asked quickly after seeing it.
"Sorry, there is something wrong with my right elbow and I can't play the game." Da Chong said.
"..."
The entire locker room fell silent for a moment, except for the sound of Rodman packing his clothes.
Kobe stood up in surprise and looked at the big insect with a look of disbelief on his face.
With his dedication to basketball and winning, he simply couldn't understand Rodman's attitude towards the game. He hated this attitude so much.
"No, Rodman, you shouldn't be like this. You are a professional player. Now the game is about to start, but you are not playing?"
Jerry West was so angry that he couldn't help it.
"My injury has recurred and I can't play anymore." Da Chong looked indifferent and walked towards the locker room door with his bag in hand.
Kobe looked back at O'Neal, the team leader, but O'Neal didn't speak, and he was a little disappointed.
"If it were the flying dragon in New York, I'm afraid he would kill Rodman, right? No, maybe if Rodman had the courage, he wouldn't dare to do that, right?"
Kobe thought to himself.
Rodman opened the door to the locker room and was about to walk out, but was blocked by someone.
"Hey, Big Chong, what kind of fun are you doing?"
Zhao Dong, who was visiting, blocked the door and looked at the bag in Rodman's hand in surprise.
"Feilong, you?"
Jerry West, who was behind Rodman, asked quickly.
"Mr. West, I'm here for a visit. Am I not welcome to visit the Lakers' locker room?" Zhao Dong said with a smile.
"Oh, of course you're welcome, please come in." West smiled quickly.
"Is this what he is?"
Zhao Dong asked, pointing to the big insect blocked by him.
"He, he suddenly stopped playing." Jerry West said with an ugly expression.
Zhao Dong was startled, and immediately remembered the glorious black history of Big Worm in the previous life with the Lakers, and said with a smile: "I had known you would sign Oakley. It's not like the Lakers don't have money. Although his rebounding is worse than Big Worry, his defense is even better. Tough, offensively better, and a 100-percent professional attitude.”
"Snapped!"
West slapped his thigh in annoyance. He should have called Oakley in the first place.
He is a bad guy with a minimum salary, just to save money and save luxury tax. If he gets it wrong now, the team may waste another season.
"Feilong, let me out." At this time, the big insect said.
"You said you would let me go, so how shameless would I be? As the master, you refused to let me go in first, and you actually asked me to let you out first. Who gave you the face?"
Zhao Dong raised his teeth and said coldly.
The big insect was speechless after being scolded and had to step aside.
As for falling out with Zhao Dong, he didn't have the courage and didn't want to get beaten.
Zhao Dongshi walked in, turned around and looked at the big bug who was going out, and said to West: "Mr. West, there is no need to sign a person with such an eccentric personality. After he left the Bulls, he had no ball at all. The team is willing to have him."
West smiled bitterly and said: "The Lakers have been weak at the fourth position for many years, and I couldn't find anyone else. I focused on his rebounding."
Zhao Dong nodded and suddenly smiled: "Starting from tonight, when we play against the Lakers from now on, I will play the fourth position. I will beat you all without any suspense."
"..."
Everyone on the Lakers was stunned for a moment. Their fourth position couldn't even beat the postman. Is there any suspense when they meet Zhao Dong, who can beat the postman?
"Feilong, you are so shameful! You should come and compete with me. I will beat you." O'Neal shouted.
"Shark, I heard that you have a problem with me?" Zhao Dong said with a smile.
"Yes, you are pushing for a rule that allows double-teaming of people without the ball. What do I have to say about you? You are such a bad guy. You have pus on the soles of your feet and sores on your head. You have taken a lot of glory, and I still have my bare hands. Well, why are you trying to trick me?"
O'Neill shouted.
"It's you, the shark, who got it." Zhao Dong laughed.
"Damn it!" O'Neill shouted angrily.
