Chapter 395: Fire Prevention, Theft Prevention and UFO Prevention

Latest website: West officially invited Robinson to join the Lakers, and Austin also expressed that Robinson is very interested in joining the Lakers.

Here comes the key issue, that is the contract.

West tentatively quoted a price of $15 million over three years.

This contract made Austin sigh secretly. He left the Spurs for the championship. It seems that David's value has shrunk.

Everyone knows that you are aiming for the championship. Who will give you a big contract again?

At the end of the conversation, he said he would discuss it with Robinson immediately before making a decision.

After Robinson understood the situation, he was very helpless, but he still considered it carefully.

At the same time, under the urging of Iverson, the Philadelphia Digital Team also began to contact David Robinson and offered him a contract of $16 million over two years.

This contract is similar to that of the Trail Blazers, and it is also very attractive to Robinson. He began to analyze the digital team's lineup and championship chances.

The Digital Team's plan is to send away defensive insider Theo Ratliff. The management has seen from this playoffs that if they want to win against Zhao Dong, they cannot rely solely on defense. The offensive ability must be improved, so they want to use David Robinson replaces Ratliff.

If Robinson can accept this contract, then the digital team will not increase the salary, because Ratliff also has an annual salary of more than 7 million US dollars.

Although Robinson is old, his scoring ability is still stronger than Ratliff, which is more in line with the creation requirements of the God-killing lineup.

The general and the postman can pull each other to the left and right, which can create a huge breakthrough space for Iverson, and at the same time provide enough cover ability, so that the three of them can make more tactical changes.

"David, are you going to Los Angeles or Philadelphia?" Austin asked.

At this juncture, he didn't want to make up his mind and let Robinson make his own decision. If the team he went to didn't win the championship in the end, he had no responsibility.

Robinson compared the lineups of both sides and found that they were similar on the outside, with one Kobe and one Iverson. On the inside, O'Neal was the only giant that could compete with the Feilong in terms of efficiency and had more opportunities.

"Contact the Lakers." After thinking twice, he decided.

"good.

"

Austin also breathed a sigh of relief and immediately contacted the Lakers.

Jerry West was overjoyed when he got the call.

After getting the super center Robinson, he is going to trade away the big money.

Big Ben had a big contract with the Lakers, so he traded him and brought in Robinson. Not only did he not increase expenses, he would be in and out, but he would also be able to save some salary and pay less luxury tax.

When Ringo Wells received the notice from the Lakers that Ben was on the Lakers' shelves, he could only smile bitterly and immediately informed Ben.

Big Ben had already been mentally prepared. He lost his starting position in the finals and was prepared to be traded. It was not surprising. Anyway, he had a contract in hand and was investing with his boss Feilong. It didn't matter where he went to play.

The media reaction to David Robinson joining the Lakers was greater than Duncan joining the Nets.

When Duncan joins the Nets, it is not yet a superstar team-up, because Dayao has just finished his rookie season, and Duncan is also seriously injured, the meniscus. No one knows how much condition he can maintain.

Therefore, the teaming up of two No. 1 picks at the peak of their debut did not arouse much resentment.

But this time the reaction was bigger. Although the admiral was old, many media still doubted that he was in a group.

"In order to win the championship, David Robinson not only left his home team, but as a super center, he also hugged the thigh of another super center. He is no longer worthy of the honor of a super center. This is a grouping behavior that should be condemned."

Larry Bird left the Pacers, and Isiah Thomas, the smiling assassin who had just taken over as head coach, expressed his disdain for Robinson in front of the media.

David Robinson couldn't bear it anymore, but he was really ashamed of his parent team, the Spurs, so he did not come forward in person, but responded through Austin.

Austin accepted a phone interview with reporters and explained: "David is old. Thomas's word "teaming up" is obviously wrong. He has gone too far. A thirty-five-year-old veteran, in order to pursue the championship, He doesn't deserve this."

Everyone has their own reasons. Anyway, the media only wants sales and the hype will be more lively, and the fans are also happy to see such excitement.

Zhao Dong ignored these bad things. It was already approaching Lindsay's due date. Zhao Dong completely ignored things in the United States and focused all his thoughts on Lindsay.

At the end of July, Nelson called him. His contract was over. The Knicks wanted to keep him, but he decided to leave and start a new challenge.

"Coach, where do you want to go?" Zhao Dong asked with a smile.

"Michael Jordan invited me. I'm going to try out for the Mavericks. My son is also there." Nelson said with a smile.

"Yes, but you have to pay attention, Jordan's vision is not very good, you have to let your son seize the draft pick."

Zhao Dong reminded with a smile.

In addition, Nelson told him that Van Gundy Jr. was taking over as head coach of the Knicks.

On August 1st, he reported to the national team.

But he just went to report, and he would stay at home with Lindsay until his four sons were born.

The base for men's basketball training is Dongcheng Base. After the completion of Dongcheng Base, the original base in Tsinghua University became useless.

Dongcheng Base has now transferred half of its equity to the state. The reason why it retains half of its equity is because the base requires a large amount of operating funds every year, and he pays most of this money.

The base is full of athletes preparing for the Olympics. The atmosphere is tense and warm. Both athletes and coaches are devoted to training.

"Director Liu."

When he arrived at the basketball training hall, before Zhao Dong could enter, he saw Liu Yumin waiting for him outside and greeted him quickly.

"Zhao Dong, come in quickly." Liu Yumin waved with a smile.

This is a large training hall, where men and women are together, and next to it is the women's basketball team. The so-called matching of men and women makes the work less tiring. Training in this hall is based on this theory.

Unfortunately, the women's basketball team was not very strong this year and did not reach the Olympic finals, so there was no Olympic women's basketball team this time, and only the men's basketball team was training in the training hall.

The head coach of the men's basketball team this time is Jiang Xinquan, and there are several assistant coaches. One of them is Harris, the former head coach of the Lakers. The OK team played under him when they first arrived at the Lakers. This time they were hired as the training coach of the national team.

The men's basketball team members include Zhao Dong, Yao Min, Wang Zhizhi, Bart, Li Xiaoyong, Guo Shiqiang, Sun Jun, Zhang Jinsong, Hu Weidong, Zheng Wu, Liu Yudong, and Li Nan.

Zhao Dong was the last one to report, and everyone else had arrived. Dayao and the others also came over two days ago and started recovery training.

As soon as he entered, everyone immediately greeted him.

"Director Jiang."

Zhao Dong nodded towards his teammates and said hello to Jiang Xinquan first.

"Zhao Dong, your goal puts us under a lot of pressure!" Jiang Xinquan shook hands with Zhao Dong and said with a smile.

"Don't you have any confidence in your heart?" Zhao Dong asked with a smile.

Jiang Xinquan laughed, pointed at Zhao Dong, and said to Liu Yumin: "Director Liu, with this tone, even if we win the silver medal this time, he will probably think it is a failure."

Liu Yumin also smiled bitterly, glanced at Zhao Dong and said: "Zhao Dong is now known as the God of Basketball. He has never failed in the NBA. He has won four championships in four years, and the silver medal is second place. For him, , it is indeed a failure.”

"Director Liu still understands me." Zhao Dong said with a smile.

Jiang Xinquan nodded heavily, looked at all the men's basketball team members, and said loudly: "Then let's work hard this time and work towards the gold medal."

“Strive for gold!”

Dayao has made a name for himself in the NBA and performed very well, so his morale is very high now, higher than in the previous life. Jiang Xinquan shouted for the gold medal. As a rookie of the national team, he was not polite and immediately raised his fist and roared.

"Get the gold!"

Da Zhi and Hu Weidong followed Zhao Dong in the NBA smoothly, and both won the championship. Da Zhi was still the main center in the finals, so of course their vision and pursuit now are completely different from those in the previous life. Of course, they His strength also surpassed that of his previous life. When Dayao shouted, they also roared.

"Get the gold!"

As soon as these three people shouted, the others were not to be left behind and started to roar.

Among the coaches, Silver Fox Harris sighed in his heart. As long as the Chinese team has Zhao Dong, the god of basketball, this team will indeed have the strength to defeat any team it encounters.

Liu Yumin and Jiang Xinquan looked at each other and laughed.

The men's basketball team in this Olympics is not bad in itself. The golden generation of 1996 is basically there now, plus Zhao Dong and Dayao, as well as Da Zhi, Daba, and Hu Weidong who have experienced in the NBA, they are stronger than the previous Olympic Games. More than one level.

Especially Zhao Dong, who is recognized as the number one active player in the basketball world and the god of efficiency. This honor is not only recognized by the NBA, but also by the international basketball community. It is recognized by the entire basketball community.

With such a person in the Chinese team, if the Chinese team does not win the gold medal, even if it is a silver medal, it may really be considered a failure.

So in fact, the top management of the Sports Federation has only one Olympic goal for the men's basketball team, and that is the gold medal.

But in order not to increase the pressure on the men's basketball team, this goal has not been mentioned.

But now that Zhao Dong has spoken out, there is no problem, because whether it is the sports association, the basketball management center, or the men's basketball coaching staff, they all believe in Zhao Dong's leadership ability and believe that he can bear this pressure.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Dong showed up, the morale of the entire national men's basketball team was lifted. There was no pressure anymore. This was the best result and the best start.

"How are everyone's injuries?" Zhao Dong asked again.

Jiang Xinquan said: "Veterans like Liu Yudong have some injuries, but they can still play, there is no big problem."

"The base's current medical testing methods and rehabilitation methods are several levels higher than before. Their injuries have been well treated in the past two years. Zhao Dong, this is all your credit." Liu Yumin said with a smile.

"It's nothing to talk about, it's just something within my ability. Without them, I wouldn't be able to win any gold medal, right?"

Zhao Dong smiled.

After chatting for a while, Jiang Xinquan talked about Zhao Dong's position.

"Let Dayao and Da Zhi go to the inside, and I'll go to the outside and play point guard."

Zhao Dong prefers to play the one position by himself, with Yao and the others inside, and Sun Jun and the others at the small forward. However, point guard has always been the weakness of the Chinese men's basketball team. easy.

Hearing that Zhao Dong wanted to play point guard, Jiang Xinquan laughed and said: "That's exactly what I planned. I originally selected Li Qun, but I wanted you to play point guard, so I didn't let him come this time."

Zhao Dong nodded and said: "My specific playing style at the first position is a combo guard. I can score and organize. Coach Jiang, are there any problems?"

"It's what I asked for."

Jiang Xinquan laughed and said: "If I don't use you, the god of basketball, who should I use? He who can do it has more work. I am worried about your physical fitness. You have played hundreds of games and you have just rested for a few months. Do you have any questions?" question?"

"No problem. Besides, I have to rest for a while and won't start training until the end of this month." Zhao Dong said.

"Okay, then it's decided." Jiang Xinquan said.

"Dayao, you are lucky to have Duncan by your side." Zhao Dong said with a smile.

"We should have a chance to reach the Eastern Conference Finals next season." Yao smiled and became Ji Yao.

Hu Weidong said: "Zhao Dong, the Lakers now have two super centers joining forces, and your lineup has not been strengthened. How will you play next season?"

Zhao Dong nodded and said, "It's a bit difficult."

He is considering whether to let the Trail Blazers trade with the Lakers to get big money over.

The main reason why the Lakers traded Ben was of course because in the finals, Ben could not defend himself, nor could he open up the Knicks' defense, nor create opportunities for O'Neal to play singles at the basket.

But if Ben is by his side, his effect is still good. His shooting percentage from close to the basket can reach more than 60%, which is similar to O'Neal's efficiency after strengthening the offense at the basket in the finals. With Ben at the basket, he can It can contain part of the opponent's interior defensive strength, preventing them from focusing all their strength to double-team themselves at the edge of the paint area.

At the same time, Ben's defensive intensity in the interior is very strong. He may not be able to defend himself, as well as tall centers like Duncan, O'Neal, and Dayao, but he is very effective in defending others, including breakthroughs from the outside.

The weakness is as mentioned above. Defending tall and large centers, as well as very skilled insiders, will be overwhelmed.

But considering that the Lakers, Nets, and Digital Team are currently the most powerful, Big Ben cannot handle the internal matchup between these three teams, and there is no need to introduce them, so he can only give up this idea.

After chatting for a while, everyone talked about the American team.

Liu Yumin asked: "Zhao Dong, do you know which stars the US team has this year?"

"It hasn't been announced yet, but I have inquired about the list of participants for the training camp, and they are probably all confirmed."

Zhao Dong asked Harris again, "Coach Harris, do you know?"

Harris smiled and shook his head and said: "Feilong, I have been in China during this time and have no contact with the country."

Zhao Dong nodded and said: "The head coach is Rudy Tomjanovich, and the inside players are Mourning, Antonio McDyess, Kevin Garnett, Vin Baker..."

Speaking of this, he was afraid that Liu Yuhe and Director Jiang would not understand these people, so he explained in particular: "Mourning is known as the fifth super center in the NBA. He is best known for his defense. His defense is very tough, and his shot-blocking ability and protection The basket ability is very strong.

The so-called rim protection ability refers to the ability to reduce the efficiency of opposing players or players who attack the basket. It is not necessarily reflected in the data. "

He also explained about basket protection, because this term only appeared later and there is no such ability indicator now.

He added: "Antonio McDyess was the second overall pick in 1995. He had 20+10 All-Star performances in the NBA and is still at his peak.

Garnett, the league's newly emerging All-Star power forward, is excellent both offensively and defensively, with comprehensive skills and a defensive area as far away as the three-point line.

Vin Baker, his strength has declined a bit now, he drinks too much, and his weight is not well controlled, he is heavier than O'Neal.

These four people, from center to forward, can all play. "

Director Jiang asked: "Zhao Dong, these four people, Dayao and Dazhi fight, what will be the result?"

Zhao Dong smiled and said: "Director Jiang, ask Dayao."

Director Jiang looked at Dayao, who said with a smile: "It's no problem to beat them, but I can't guard Garnett. His athletic ability is better than mine."

"That's good."

Director Jiang and Liu Yumin laughed.

Zhao Dong smiled and said: "Dayao is under the basket, Da Zhi pulls out, and the others pull away. We can definitely let Dayao beat them under the basket."

"Okay, okay."

Director Jiang nodded excitedly and said, "Zhao Dong, please tell me about other positions."

Zhao Dong continued: "On the outside, Sharif Rahim, he plays as a small forward, and he can also play as a power forward, with a height of 206 centimeters. He was my second pick that year, and he played 20+10 in the 9900 season.

The other seven people are all guards, including Vince Carter, Ray Allen, Alan Houston, Steve Smith, Tim Hardaway, Gary Payton, and Jason Kidd.

The first four are shooting guards and the last three are point guards. Except for Steve Smith, the other six are very strong. In general, the three point guards are all top-notch, and the three shooting guards except Smith are now considered first-rate. "

DaZhi said at this time: "Brother Dong, if it's these twelve people, then they don't have any small forwards."

Zhao Dong nodded and said: "For the small forward position, there are no stars in the league. Except for Raheem, the four shooting guards can all play the third position.

These four shooting guards are all people who can shoot suddenly, especially Ray Allen and Vince Carter. Pay attention to them. The one you must be careful about inside is Vince Carter. His nickname in the United States is the Canadian Flyer, also known as the Canadian Flyer. UFO, has super jumping ability, don't let him dunk you. "

This Olympics is when Vince Carter showed his talents. The death dunk made him famous all over the world. If any of the big Yao and the others were done like this by the crazy Vince, his face would be lost, so he couldn't be careful. .

He immediately gave another warning and said: "If he dares to fly over your heads, just pull him down and he will bear the consequences himself!"

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other, it seems like you are the only one flying over everyone's heads in the basketball world right now, right?

"Remember, it's fire protection, theft protection, and UFO protection. I don't want to see my teammates being dunked by him, or even more humiliating flying dunks. Do you understand?" Zhao Dong asked seriously.

"clear."

Seeing how serious Zhao Dong was, even Sun Jun, a CBA frontman, did not dare to be careless and quickly responded.
