NBA Dynasty Sniper

Chapter 217 Mr. Miller, as a pendant, you are too cheap!
At noon, the Knicks headed to Indianapolis. As soon as they got on the plane, the team members gathered around Zhao Dong and discussed.

"Boss, wow, the owner of the Jets, my God, how many years will I have to fight to buy the Knicks?" John Starks looked envious and jealous.

He has been in a very good mood recently. With Zhao Dong returning to the perimeter, Old Nelson canceled the point guard, and he actually got the starting position.

"Even if you fight for the rest of your life, don't even think about buying the Knicks. Because by the time you make money, the Knicks have already been bought by the boss."

Larry Johnson quipped.

"Haha..." Everyone laughed.

"Boss, tell us, did Miss Lindsay give you the jet?" Chris Childs blinked and smiled badly.

"Get out, is your boss a softie? I have more money." Zhao Dong said angrily.

"Zhao Dong, are you willing to pay more than one hundred million dollars?" Hu Weidong shook his head and sighed.

"It's okay, if you let it go for 20 years, it might be more than a billion dollars." Zhao Dong laughed.

"Wow, more than a billion?" Everyone's mouths couldn't be closed.

"Boss, is our fund investing profitable?" Danny Fortson asked.

Zhao Dong looked at the crowd, and all of them shot over.

His teammates more or less invested a part of their savings in the Storm Investment Fund. He divided the funds into two shares. The risk and stability were mixed. Now the venture fund has made a lot of money from the Asian Storm. Yes, and the stable fund has already been deployed in the US financial market, and it is bound to have a big increase in the next three years.

"Don't worry, I won't take you into a loss-making business. Some of the funds have already started to make money. The profit is not small, and the profit exceeds [-]%." He laughed.

"Ah hoo!"

Everyone screamed excitedly.

"Great."

Hu Weidong also invested a little money, not much, 30 US dollars, and the third achievement was close to [-] US dollars. He was quite satisfied. He played in China for several seasons in his peak period, but he did not earn [-] US dollars in total.

The Van Gundy coaches in front are a little envious, but they are coaches and cannot participate in these investment behaviors of players, otherwise the interests will be involved, and it is easy to separate public and private.

"Larry..."

Alan Houston took a chance and called Larry Johnson to the back.

"Have you heard from Adi?"

"Why, you are Nike, have you received a message from Nike? Damn, they don't have this power." Larry Johnson cursed in a low voice, very irritated.

"Have you applied?" Alan Houston asked in a low voice.

"NO, I just want to stay here, I like the atmosphere here." Larry Johnson shook his head.

"Me too. I don't know what their purpose is, I can't figure it out." Alan Houston said.

"Of course it is to prevent us from defending the championship, and then let Jordan win the championship, it is too shameless!" Larry Johnson said angrily.

"But Jordan is from Nike, and Nike and Adidas are competitors." Alan Houston said.

"Yeah, why did Adi let me leave the Knicks?" Larry Johnson reacted at this moment, confused.

"Find a chance to discuss with the boss, Charles, and the others? I think it has something to do with the boss. Don't forget his silver devil."

Alan Houston said.

Larry Johnson's eyes widened. He completely agrees with this statement. With the performance and appearance of the Silver Devil, once it is launched on the market, coupled with the growing influence of the boss, it will definitely seize the market of Adidas and Nike. So now these companies Take action.

In the afternoon, the team arrived at their destination.

The Pacers this season are very strong. In the previous life, this team has reached the Eastern Conference Finals for three consecutive years since this season. In the 99-00 season, it even reached the finals, which shows its strength.

The team boss Reggie Miller also hit 43% of his three-pointers this season, and his shooting ability is a strong threat.

The second scoring point, center Rick Schmitz averaged 16.7 points + 6.9 rebounds per game, and his strength is not bad.

The third scoring point is the All-Star + Hall of Fame star Chris Mullin who was traded in this season. At the age of 34, he can still play both offensive and defensive performances.

As for the point guard, there is last season's assists leader Mark Jackson.

There is Dale Davis at power forward, averaging nearly eight rebounds per game.

With Anthony Davis on the bench, he averaged nearly seven rebounds per game.

This team does not have superstars like the Knicks and Bulls, nor super scorers like Jordan and Zhao Dong, but their main scoring ability is very average, their defense and rebounding ability are good, their offense and defense are balanced, and their bench is also very good. Strong, no weakness.

One averaged nearly 20+ per game, two averaged 10+ per game, two averaged 9 points per game, two averaged 8 points per game, and two averaged 6 points per game. Among the first nine scoring points, the worst shooting percentages were all At 42%, this prevents opponents from passing any of them, making them very difficult to defend.

Their scoring average this season is 96 points, while the Bulls are 96.7 and the Knicks are 98.2, which shows their strong scoring ability.

In the evening, the system issued a task, which made Zhao Dong very happy.

Hall of Fame Sniper Mission: Match up Reggie Miller and blow him up on both ends.

Task requirements: 1. Score 40+, and the opponent's score must not exceed 15 points; 2. Hit a triple-double; 3. Lead the team to victory.

Task reward: two skill points.

"40+ triple-double, only two skill points? Forget it, I'm used to it."

Zhao Dong didn't bother to complain, this is the second season, and it is estimated that the system may have to retire next season.

15th, game day.

Half an hour before the game, the two sides announced the starting lineup.

Knicks: Ben Wallace, Oakley, Zhao Dong, Alan Houston, John Starks.

Pacers: Rick Schmitz, Dale Davis, Reggie Miller, Chris Mullin, Mark Jackson.

The game will be broadcast live across the United States by TNT.

After getting the list, Bill Walton began to analyze, saying: "The Knicks recently adjusted the undrafted second-year pick Ben Wallace to the starting center position. This is very weird, because the height of this player is too low. , he may be two meters tall.

In addition, he has no offensive ability and immature defensive skills, but his rebounding is remarkable.But with Oakley as a partner, the Knicks' inside combination is still passable. "

The commentator Matt went on to say: "On the outside, the Knicks no longer play point guards. This is also the habit of the old Nelson. He likes to use the ball forward, and the dragon is a perfect ball forward."

Bill Walton said with a smile: "In recent games, the Knicks have played a passionate and fast pace. We call him small ball play, which has attracted more fans for the Knicks."

"No, Feilong attracted more fans. I guess [-]% of the fans came for him." Matt laughed.

"A combination of violence and glamour? Haha!" Bill Wharton laughed.

"However, I noticed one thing, just these two days." Matt said suddenly with a serious expression.

"What's the matter, Matt?" Bill Wharton asked in a daze.

"It's news from the other side of the Pacific Ocean. A Chinese media has exposed that Feilong picked up girls at Stony Brook University." Matt said.

"No, this is not news." Bill Wharton felt like laughing.

"No, listen to me."

Matt shook his head and said: "The media listed a lot of girls that Feilong had picked up, and among these girls there were white, yellow, mixed race, and brown people, but none of them were black. They said that Feilong had racist thoughts."

"..."

Bill Wharton was stunned, opened his mouth, and said with some difficulty: "Could it be that those Feilong compatriots want Feilong to pick up a black girl to prove that he is not racist?"

"Pfft!"

Matt laughed instantly, and quickly buried his head under the table, his shoulders were shaking non-stop.

In the locker room of the visiting team, Oakley whispered in Zhao Dong's ear: "I got the news that the manager of that kid Camby asked the team to trade him as soon as possible."

"what?"

Zhao Dong was startled.

Camby is often injured, coupled with Nelson's small ball style of play, he has recently lost his main position, so is he in a hurry to trade so soon?
"I think it is a means of coercion. Camby definitely wants to regain the starting position. In addition, recently some media said that the Knicks like to reuse undrafted picks and provoke the relationship in our locker room. Maybe it was done by people with ulterior motives. You have to be careful. A little bit," Oakley reminded.

"I see." Zhao Dong nodded.

Regarding the team's reuse of undrafted picks, this should be true.

The management traded his two first-round picks of the same year during the offseason, and now Camby, the No. [-] pick, also lost his starting position and gave it to the undrafted Da Ben.

But so what?Those who are stronger and more suitable for the team's tactical play are the only way to be in the top position.

He looked at Camby in the past few positions, and it seemed that he really didn't talk to him very much these two days.

In fact, he didn't notice that Alan Houston and Larry Johnson had been in weird moods for the past two days, and they didn't talk much.

The actions of companies like Nike and Adidas have already begun, and from the beginning, directly within the Knicks.

Camby, Alan Houston, and Larry Johnson are all Nike and Adidas sneaker contracts, and the company requires them to apply for a deal.

Camby himself was upset about losing his main position, and he had no sense of belonging when he first arrived in the Knicks, so he immediately proposed a deal.

However, Alan Houston and Larry Johnson came to New York last season, and they already have a sense of belonging here, and they don't want to leave, so they didn't apply for a deal.

Moreover, the two of them are only in the second-tier contract, and the benefits that Nike Adi gave them are not too great. Now that they have invested in Zhao Dong's fund, they have more interests involved, so they don't want to leave even more.

Half an hour later, at the exit, the starters meet.

Zhao Dong and Reggie Miller faced each other and sneered at each other.

"Reggie Miller, you have to brush your teeth with deodorant, right?"

"Feilong, you are no fart."

"I am the championship and finals FMVP. I have been ranked first in the MVP ranking for almost three months. You are not a fart."

"me……"

"I punched Jordan, and he got a T. And you're just being chased by Jordan, and he didn't even commit a common foul. So, you're an insignificant guy."

"you?"

"What are you?"

"You bastard!"

"Idiot, my wealth is more than a hundred times that of yours. I am still the owner of the New York Jets. I will buy an NBA team in the future. Maybe I will become your owner. Are you targeting me? ?”

"..."

Reggie Miller was already blushing with anger and was speechless.

After 15 minute, the game starts.

Big Ben and Pacers center Rick Schmitz prepare to jump the ball.

"Pfft!"

Bill Walton laughed when he saw the two centers standing together.

Matt also laughed a few times and said: "Rick Schmitz, 224 cm, he is a head taller than the Knicks' undrafted center Ben Wallace, and the height of the Knicks inside has dropped to a heinous level , they're not going to want a center, that's why Bill is laughing."

Bill Walton said with a smile: "Actually, in the Knicks lineup, the flying dragon who plays small forward is the highest height on the court."

The jump ball is no surprise, Big Ben bounces well, but the altitude is too low to make up for the physical gap, and the Pacers attack.

"The Pacers gave the first ball to the center. This is an absolute high point. Facing a short center like Ben Wallace, no matter how you play, you will have a misplaced advantage. If you don't hit this point, which point will you play?" Bill Walton loudly said the explanation.

Rick Schmitz got the ball in the low post on the left wing, and instead of dribbling back, he hooked directly sideways.

Big Ben tried his best to defend, intending to push the opponent's center of gravity and influence the opponent's shot.

The opponent's weight was close to 120 kilograms, ten kilograms heavier than him, but his strength did not suffer, and he was really affected by him.

"boom!"

Missing the hook, Big Ben turned around and grabbed the rebound.

At this time, Zhao Dong on the left-wing three-point line had already turned around and was about to go down. Reggie Miller was desperately chasing, barely able to keep up.

He was a little shocked. He was a swingman with a weight of just over 80 kilograms, and he couldn't surpass him. How could this monster be so fast?Is his tonnage false?

At this time, Big Ben's ball came out, and he threw it out of bounds with a whoosh.

"Book?"

After Zhao Dong stopped, he turned his head and stared at Big Ben, who knows, this pass is too outrageous, right?

"Boss, me? Me?"

Ben Wallace wanted to dig a hole and get in.

On the sidelines, Old Nelson shook his head, this is not good, the turnover rate is too high, we still have to make a transition first.

"If we can get Allen Iverson, his speed and the dragon's assists will be perfect."

Van Gundy said suddenly.

"The relationship between the two of them is average." Thibodeau laughed.

At this time, Nelson turned around and said to Van Gundy: "Jeff, let the point guard transition. Although the counterattack is slower, the opponent has more time to return to the defense, but there are fewer mistakes. And I believe in the finishing ability and assists of the dragon. Ability, even if it is a bit slower, there is no problem. This way, the big book can continue to be used, otherwise it can only be used by Camby."

"agree."

Van Gundy nodded quickly. Don't think that Old Nelson was asking for his opinion. He was just being polite. After all, he was the head coach last season.

On the court, the Pacers attacked, and Mark Jackson hit John Starks with his back.

It's his strongest move, and it's the same as Barkley's because both have a big, strong ass.

The five-second rule for post-ups has not yet been introduced, so Mark Jackson's post-ups are still pushing a large area horizontally at the first position. As long as the point guards in the league see his big butt, no one will not have a headache.

"Shh!"

Arching, arching, arching, arching, arching to the position, a turnaround jumper, and hit a ball.

"Everyone in the Pacers can shoot, including two insiders, and the shooting percentage is not low, so it is very difficult to double-team the Pacers. Anyone who wants to double-team Mark Jackson has to think about his average assists per game. .Then I can tell you that the assist king averaged 11.4 assists per game last season." Bill Walton laughed.

On the court, when the offense and defense were switched, Ben was still in charge of serving, but no longer made a long pass, but passed it to Oakley who was responding.

Alan Houston, John Starks, and Zhao Dong were about to leave.

Oakley received the ball and was immediately interfered by the Pacers, preventing him from making a quick pass. He took two steps to find a chance to pass the ball.

At this time, the three outsiders had already crossed the center line. According to the tactical requirements, Alan Houston and John Starks immediately stopped to respond, and Zhao Dong continued to attack the paint.

When Houston received the pass, Zhao Dong had already rushed to the basket and stopped.

This is the shortcoming of not being able to pass Zhao Dong directly, which affects the fast break speed.

Zhao Dong pulled back, caught Reggie Miller and received Houston's ball, then turned around and dunked with both hands.

Reggie Miller's tonnage and strength couldn't stop Zhao Dong from getting up and dunking. He was completely enveloped by Zhao Dong.

"boom!"

Amidst the strong sound of exploding baskets, the referee's whistle sounded.

It turned out that when Zhao Dong got up to dunk, the desperate Reggie Miller hung up directly, but his action still failed to prevent the dunk from happening.

"Sorry, Mr. Miller, I don't need your pendant on me, you are too cheap!" Zhao Dong spat out trash talk.

"..."

I am your pendant?Am I too cheap?Reggie Miller was so angry that he didn't know how to spray back, is it expensive to spray me, am I a luxury?
"Is there a tonnage difference of [-] kilograms between the two of them?" Matt laughed at the TNT live broadcast.

"Yes, under Feilong, Miller is just a child. I think Feilong should be more gentle." Bill Wharton laughed.

"Haha..." Matt laughed violently.

After Zhao Dongjia made a free throw, the Pacers attacked.

Mark Jackson, as was his custom, backed John Starks on the right wing while eyeing the weak side.

His assist opportunities are generally crosses from the strong and weak side. He attracts the defense on the strong side, runs on the weak side, and then directly tears through the opponent's defense through a cross pass.

On the left wing, Reggie Miller ran a pick-and-roll with pulled power forward Dale Davis from beyond the three-point line and got open.

Mark Jackson saw it, pulled the ball up, and passed it.

Just as Reggie Miller received the ball, a figure emerged from the three-point line.

"The ball is stolen! The flying dragon steals it, and he is going down!" Bill Wharton shouted excitedly.

When Reggie Miller turned around and started, Zhao Dong, who had already slowed down and went down quickly, was two steps away, chasing desperately, until the end, there was no chance to catch up.

"boom!"

Zhao Dongfei smashed the basket with his body, and used a brutal dunk with a flat basket, which made the Pacers' home court extremely quiet.
