Chapter 428 New York Jets

Next, Zhao Dong went to wash his hands and prepare for the lottery.

This talent lottery has been around for several years, and he has been putting it away just to prepare for today. His attitude is very cautious.

After washing his hands three times with soap and sitting down again, he said excitedly: "System, smoke it."

With an order, a carousel appeared on the screen with twelve boxes on it, namely: Tom Brady's long pass, Terry Bradshaw's short pass, Lawrence Taylor's tactical literacy, Payton ·Manning’s intermediate pass…

"Ha, it's all good stuff!"

Zhao Dong was very happy. The twelve people above are all famous players in the NFL. Half of them have become members of the NFL Hall of Fame, and the other half are also active players. They have a very good chance of being selected into the Hall of Fame in the future.

For example, the first Tom Brady, nicknamed Amazing Tom, participated in the 2000 NFL draft and was selected by the New England Patriots at the end of the sixth round.

This guy's performance in the NCAA was average because his physical fitness was not very good. As a quarterback, his arm strength, speed, and physique were not excellent. Despite this, he still performed well in the later stages of the NCAA, but because of his average quality , so he was not favored by NFL scouts, and his draft prospects were average, so he fell to the end of the sixth round.

At that time, the Patriots had the league's star quarterback Drew Bledsoe and two other backup quarterbacks. He was the team's fourth quarterback and had no chance to play after the start of the season, but Tombulla Dee worked hard during his rookie season and became the team's second quarterback.

Although Tom Brady has only entered the NFL for three seasons, Zhao Dong has a deep impression on him. The reason is very simple.

Because the Patriots and New York Jets both belong to one of the four teams in the American League East (the NFL is divided into two leagues like the NBA, the National League and the American League, and each league is divided into four divisions: southeast, northwest and northwest). very intense competition.

On September 23, 2001, the Patriots played against the Jets at home. Patriots star quarterback Drew Bledsoe was sacked by Jets linebacker Mo Lewis, causing severe internal bleeding in the violent collision. After being unable to play for a long time, Tom Brady became the Patriots' No. 1 quarterback.

It was this game that gave Tom Brady a chance, and then he performed brilliantly this season, passing for 2,843 yards, 4 more passing touchdowns than Peyton Manning, and Selected for the Super Bowl (Star Bowl) of the season, which is also an NFL All-Star.

Of course, this is just Zhao Dong’s first impression of Tom Brady.

In the last life,

Since the 2001 season, Tom Brady has led the Patriots to six Super Bowl championships and three runner-up finishes. He has won the Super Bowl MVP four times and is known as the greatest quarterback in the NFL.

It would definitely be great if we could get this guy's long passing talent.

At this time, the turntable pointer began to rotate rapidly. After three seconds, it seemed to lose power and the speed began to slow down.

Zhao Dong was a little excited, but he still stared at the turntable quietly.

No matter which one he draws, he will not be disappointed, even without this draw. With his own physical fitness and not being too old now, he is confident that he can play in the NFL.

But to say which one of these twelve talents is the most valuable, it is undoubtedly Lawrence Taylor's tactical literacy.

Lawrence Taylor retired in 1993 and has already become a member of the Hall of Fame. He is a New York Giants player and is known for his extremely ferocious defense. He led the Giants to two Super Bowl championships and won the title of Defensive Player of the Year three times. He was Known as the strongest defensive player in the history of the NFL, he is also the first person to win the Most Valuable Player (MVP) as a defensive player in the 1986 season. He is also one of the most famous sports stars in New York.

Simply put, in the history of the NFL, Lawrence Taylor was a benchmark for subsequent defensive players, and his influence was very far-reaching.

Of course, this guy's life has been messy after retirement. A reporter asked Taylor what his off-field life was like. He said straightforwardly, drinking and taking drugs.

Alcohol and drugs are his hobbies. He was suspended and even arrested after testing positive many times during his career. It is said that he is now bankrupt.

But no matter how corrupt his private life is, he is one of the most popular sports stars in New York.

Zhao Dong had seen this guy in Madison Square Garden, but had no contact with him.

"Congratulations to the host, you have drawn Lawrence Taylor's tactical literacy ability. Please choose whether to cover it or not. Tips: The level upgrade is limited by the rules, and can only be upgraded to level 80."

Following the system prompts, Zhao Dong felt delighted.

Although Taylor is a defensive superstar, it is precisely because of his strong offensive tactical literacy that he can read the offensive tactics of the attacker in a very short period of time and make prepared defensive predictions. Therefore, his tactical literacy is the foundation for an excellent player. It is very important that every rookie must take a written test before the draft.

As for being able to only upgrade to level 80, there is nothing you can do about it. You can only continue to improve through actual combat in the future.

"cover."

Soon, his tactical literacy ability was raised from level 35 to level 80 at once. If there were no actual combat requirements set by the system, he could only be raised to level 80, and the level would be even higher.

A huge flow of information suddenly emerged from the depths of his mind, including more than 20,000 variations of rugby tactics.

The amount of information was so overwhelming that it made him feel like he was drunk, and he fainted for a long time before he could catch his breath.

"Level 80, haha, cool, saved me a lot of time."

He was originally going to spend a lot of time reading the tactical manual, but now he can spend his time on training.

At this time, the system prompted: "Due to the improvement of tactical literacy, related skills have been improved."

"Cool!"

Zhao Dong praised it and quickly checked to see which technologies had been improved.

The biggest improvement is the 14th technical route running, which has been improved from level 50 to level 80, which is a very large increase.

Then there is the ability to attack back, which has been directly improved from level 50 to level 70, which is not a small improvement.

Finally, the running ball interception was upgraded from level 70 to 75, the pass interception was increased from level 72 to 77, and the impact interception was increased from level 75 to 80.

A total of 5 skills have been upgraded, which shows that his knowledge is correct. This reward is the most valuable among the ten rewards.

Now, except for long passes, other skills are above the third-rate level and can be considered fully developed. They are similar to his basketball skills when he entered the NBA seven years ago.

Although I don't have much time to practice rugby skills, I often play in my spare time. Thanks to my overwhelming overall quality, I have reached this technical level.

This sport is actually a sport that tests physical fitness, just like basketball. In addition to quarterback, it tests physical fitness even more than basketball.

In the NFL, talent is everything.

Next, he began to consider his position.

With his overall quality and the effect of the Level 1 Brutal Crash Talent Badge, running backs (running backs) and wide receivers are the best.

The effect of the Savage Crash Talent Badge is that the charge speed is faster, the effect is better, and the explosive power is stronger. Running back and wide receiver are the positions in football games that require the most running and the most acceleration.

In a football game, the quarterback is the soul of the team. He determines the quality of a team, but the running back (running back) and wide receiver are the most attractive positions in the game.

However, with his current strength, he will definitely not be able to get such a key position, and it will be difficult to replace him. Therefore, his position depends on how the team decides. Maybe it is okay to start with the special team first.

The special teams team has a professional kick returner, and this position can occasionally score a return touchdown that makes his blood boil by running for 100 yards.

If an ordinary returner can make such a return, the result will be promotion, salary increase and marriage to Bai Fumei.

Of course, such a return attack is also the most dangerous time in an NFL game. The most brutal and violent collisions often occur during such a return attack. Injuries are common, and even death is possible.

His current counterattack skill is level 70. Once he starts charging, the special effects of the Savage Crash Talent Badge will be triggered, and there will also be a 5%-15% explosive power bonus. He has not yet tried how much impact his impact can reach.

If he can fully charge up, his counterattack skill level can even exceed level 80, right?

With his explosive power, he can charge up within five steps, triggering at least a 10% explosive power bonus, which is entirely possible.

On the morning of the 28th, Zhao Dong and his agent Ringo Wells took some bodyguards to the New York Jets headquarters.

Zhao Dong sold the New York Jets to businessman Robert Wood Johnson four years ago. Johnson is one of the investors of Tianlong Investment Bank, and the interest relationship is very stable.

To put it simply, it is not difficult for him to buy back the Jets now, but he just won't do it.

And as he said to the media, he will not use his status to seek benefits in the team, such as playing opportunities or even the main position.

As for the contract, of course he doesn't care at all.

Johnson, a group of management, and a large number of team coaches welcomed Zhao Dong at the headquarters and notified the media.

When Zhao Dong arrived, no less than a hundred media people rushed to the scene.

CCTV also came with a three-person reporter team, cameraman and assistant, and reporter Yang Yi.

"Wyvern, welcome back to the jet."

"Thank you. This time I am just a player."

Johnson hugged Zhao Dong very warmly, the two chatted for a few words, and the former began to introduce the management and coaches.

"This is general manager Maureen Philippe."

"Hello Fei Long, welcome back to the Jets."

Philip, who was about fifty years old, said with great congratulations.

He is a white man and a former general manager. He has worked here for almost ten years and is also a former employee of Zhao Dong.

As for the team's coaching staff, many of them are known to Zhao Dong.

He is a Jets fan. Before he bought the Jets, he often went to the Jets training base and was very familiar with the coaching staff.

However, over the years, some coaches have changed, and this time I got to know them again.

The size of an NFL team is far larger than that of an NBA team. There are more than fifty official players, and the number of coaches and trainers is several times that of an NBA team, and can even number dozens.

The NFL has regulations on the number of employees on a team. All employees at the base, including coaches, cannot exceed 100, and recruitment cannot be expanded at will.

The New York Jets have also changed their head coaches in the past two years. In 2001, the new head coach was named Henman Edwards.

Edward was originally an assistant coach of the Temple Bay team and was hired by the Jets. He is the 13th full-time head coach of the Jets. He led the team to the AFC (American League) Eastern Division championship last year and his coaching ability is quite good.

"Hello, Coach Edward." After Johnson's introduction, Zhao Dong first extended his hand.

"Hello, Feilong." A smile appeared on Edward's muscular face, and he stretched out his hand to shake Zhao Dong's hand.
