NBA Dynasty Sniper

Chapter 276 Building the New York Gentlemen's Team
"Kevin, welcome to the Knicks."

Ignoring the madman first, Zhao Dong then greeted the veteran Kevin Willis.

This veteran's strength is not bad. In his opinion, he is more reliable than Barkley, who is constantly injured. His body is more durable than a postman. He is a real iron man.

"Flying Dragon, having the opportunity to win the championship is the greatest reward for my career, and I will do my best." Kevin Willis laughed.

"In the Knicks, you will feel comfortable. We are the most united team." Zhao Dong laughed.

"Of course, the whole league knows that." Kevin Willis laughed.

When Zhao Dong said this, Willis immediately thought of what happened in the Knicks' away game against the Bulls last season.

Jordan made a malicious foul on Zhao Dong, and then he was punched by Zhao Dong. In the end, Zhao Dong got a T. Jordan was just an ordinary foul. As a result, all Knicks players stood up and threatened to abolish Jordan, and finally forced the referee The sentence was changed and Jordan got a T.

After that incident, the entire league knows that the Knicks are the most united team, monolithic.

At the same time, there is also a legend circulating in the league that Zhao Dong, a rich boss, leads the whole team to invest and make a lot of money every day.

Who wouldn't want to come to such a team?Who doesn't like such a team leader?
"Charles, there are a few newcomers joining this season. You and Kevin are both veterans. You have to help me manage the locker room."

Glancing at Kevin Willis, Zhao Dong said to Barkley.

There is a potential meaning of this, that is, other people don't say it first, you two can't pretend to be veterans, you have to listen to the greetings, and you can't break my rules.

Although the words were very euphemistic, he believed that the two of them could understand what he meant.

"Of course, we guarantee that there will be no problems in the locker room." Barkley laughed.

"No problem." Kevin Willis also nodded.

Zhao Dong nodded in satisfaction, and looked at Cuttino Mobley again.

This teammate of Dayao in the previous life has a good relationship with Dayao. He has trained Dayao in the locker room, and he has gone too far for Dayao.

This rookie is still usable, with a relatively comprehensive offense and defense, and his strength in his rookie season was good, and his debut is an immediate combat power.

Seeing Zhao Dong looking at him, Mobley was a little nervous.

In fact, he is the same as Zhao Dong. He was born at the University of Rhode Island, which is not strong and has no influence. In addition, he did not participate in the draft until he was a senior. Otherwise, he would not have fallen to the second round in his previous life. A lottery pick is eligible Yes, many of this year's lottery picks are worse than him.

Zhao Dong, the boss of the Knicks, was a famous and radiant figure to him. When Zhao Dong cast his gaze, his body trembled visibly.

"Cartino?" Zhao Dong shouted.

"Yes, yes, boss!" Mobley stammered.

"Train hard, you have to strive to become our main shooting guard." Zhao Dong laughed.

"Huh?" Mobley was dumbfounded.

Zhao Dong looked at Billups again. This guy can no longer be called a rookie, a second grader, but he doesn't know how long it will take to mature.

"Boss."

Billups yelled nervously.

He has been with the Knicks for half a season and won a championship. He still feels nervous when facing Zhao Dong.

This boss is too strong. He led the team to overthrow Jordan for two consecutive years and won the championship. After a few days of absence, he ran into the boxing ring and blew Michael Tyson's head. Then the boss' wife bought the NBA The biggest sponsor Nike, such a boss, made him very nervous.

To be honest, this boss doesn't care about him, and he is not usually strict with him. His living environment is far better than that of McGrady in the Bulls. He heard that McGrady was often scolded and cried by Jordan.

Moreover, the boss also made him rich and made his economic environment very good. Such a boss is hard to find in the world.

But also because of this, he was afraid of being traded, afraid that the boss would be dissatisfied with him, so he didn't want to leave here.

"Chauncey, if you don't make it this season, you will definitely be traded." Zhao Dong said.

When dealing with this big heart, he didn't have any reservations, and directly exerted pressure.

This kind of person, if you don't squeeze him, he will have no motivation, and he has to whip behind him with a whip.

In fact, in terms of personality, he thinks that Billups is suitable to go to the Bulls to be tortured by Jordan, and McGrady is suitable to come to him.

"what?"

Hearing this sentence, Billups' scalp almost exploded.

"Ben." Zhao Dong looked at Da Ben again.

"Boss."

Ben Wallace practiced for an extra offseason, and only rested for half a month after the finals. He has been training from July until now. In eight months, his body has truly become a black iron. See Going up is full of power.

"This season, we need to support our penalty area. You are the gate of our inside line, understand?" Zhao Dong said.

"Understood, boss." Da Ben patted his chest vigorously.

"Danny?" Zhao Dong looked at Fortson who had the most headache.

"Boss, I will train with Big Ben during the offseason, so don't worry. In the new season, I promise to grab 15 rebounds per game, make no more than three fouls per game, and promise not to take T."

Boom, boom, Danny Fortson yelled, slapping his chest hard.

"Stop bragging, as long as you can do it. The efficiency is too low, no one can keep you, you know?" Zhao Dong said angrily.

"hey-hey!"

Fortson smiled sheepishly.

All the teammates had chatted, Zhao Dong finally looked at the madman who was a little uneasy.

"Latter?" he called.

The madman opened his mouth and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Old, boss."

"Ah."

Nodding, Zhao Dong said: "This is the Knicks, my team, and my locker room. It is absolutely forbidden to do what you did in the Warriors. Do you understand?"

The madman bowed his head in silence for a while, not knowing what to say.

"If you don't understand, I believe you won't get even one minute of playing time here." Zhao Dong continued.

"Latrier, you have been with me and know my temper. Of course I will not use a player who does not know how to respect the coach."

Then old Nelson said.

"agree."

Van Gundy and other coaches also nodded in agreement.

The madman's face was like a pig's liver, and he wanted to turn around and leave, but he knew that once he left, his career would be over, so he couldn't leave.

But he didn't know what to say, it was very embarrassing.

At this time, Zhao Dong said: "Now, give me a guarantee to the coaching staff, you will be the most obedient and good boy here."

"Pfft!"

Someone laughed.

Zhao Dong glared at it fiercely. It really was Danny Fortson, a mindless bastard. Don't you know I'm training someone?You idiot.

In fact, it's not just Fortson, there are several guys who are laughing secretly with their heads down.

For example, Barkley just lowered his head and didn't know what he was doing, and his shoulders kept shaking.

"I, I, do, what do I do? How do I do it, good boy?"

Zhao Dong's words made the madman want to punch a hole in the floor and get in. He groaned for a long time, but he didn't know how to ensure that he would be a good boy.

"Why are you so stupid?"

Zhao Dong said unhappily: "Read after me."

"Oh." The madman nodded quickly.

"Starting today, I swear to listen to the boss, go with the boss, respect the boss, respect the coach, and love my teammates. I swear to be the most obedient kid on the New York Gentleman Team. I will hit whoever the boss says and lock the opponent's throat. Instead of the coach's throat..."

Zhao Dong read it seriously, and the madman with a blank expression followed suit.

"Ha ha……"

Barkley and the others next to them couldn't bear it any longer, and fell down laughing.

After reading, Zhao Dong patted the madman's shoulder and said: "I'm not teasing you, you have to understand this. Then you have made an oath now, if you violate it in the future, then don't blame me for being rude, I will Beat you to death and kick the Knicks out."

"Yes, boss." The madman nodded blankly.

"But if you do it, you will be a part of this team, understand?" Zhao Dong finally said.

"understood."

The madman nodded, and after hearing these words, his face regained a little life.

"Boss, is this a new season gift?"

Seeing that Zhao Dong had finished training the rookies, Danny Fortson ran up with a smile and asked, "Boss, hee hee, where are the gifts for the new season?"

"Don't worry, it's being customized, and I'll give you the new season press conference." Zhao Dong laughed.

"custom made?"

Everyone's eyes lit up, can customized things be bad?

Next until February [-]th, it will be the training time for each team. There is no preseason game, and after such a long rest, the training time of these ten days is particularly important.

Zhao Dong focused on Big Ben and Danny Fortson, as well as the performance of Billups in training.

Daben's performance satisfied him. His defense in the low post has improved a lot, his ability to protect the basket has improved a lot, and his ability to assist in defense has also improved a lot.

In addition, Daben's passing ability has indeed improved, but it has not reached the point where Zhao Dong is satisfied.

Daben is short on the one hand, his hands are not big, and his ability to pass the ball with one hand is weak, and his strength is too large, so he has poor ability to control the passing power.

Old Nelson also said that the fast-break pass in the new season still has to rely on the point guard. Daben is definitely not a passing center and does not have that talent.

Danny Fortson's old problem is fouls and turnovers. His problem of too many technical fouls was worn away by Zhao Dong last season.

After a few days of observation, Zhao Dong found that Fordson had indeed improved, mainly because he had a better judgment on where the rebounds would go.

This ability can help Fortson correct the problem of excessive rebounding movements.

This improvement allowed Zhao Dong to see the hope of Fordson transforming into a real rebounding monster.

At the same time, reducing the intensity of fighting can also reduce the possibility of injury, and injury is also one of the important reasons for the death of Fortson in the previous life.

As for Billups, both shooting and organizational skills have improved, and the balance between the two is also biased towards organization.

On February [-]nd, the Knicks were having an in-team training match. Zhao Dong didn’t play. He asked Barkley next to him, “Charles, do you think we have a chance to defend the dynasty this season?”

"Of course there is hope."

Barkley's emotions suddenly became excited. He looked at his teammates on the court and said excitedly: "We have rebounds, the strongest inside defense, and you and the crazy guy in outside offense. The outside defense is also good, and the bench is also deep. We can beat any team."

Van Gundy came over at this time and said: "This time, the [-] regular season games will be completed in three months, with an average of [-] games per month, less than two days a game, and the schedule will be very tight. Back-to-back games will be very common, players are prone to injuries, everyone should pay attention to this."

"The coach is talking about you, don't let us win the championship, you watch on the bed, such a championship is worthless to you."

Zhao Dong said to Barkley.

"Pfft!"

Van Gundy and Thibodeau, who had just walked over, laughed.

"..."

Barkley was speechless, he was indeed failing physically, and he said a little angrily, "Don't worry, Flying Dragon, even if I climb, I will climb on the field."

"Haha..." Zhao Dong and the others laughed loudly.

The next morning, Zhao Dong went to the headquarters.

Following him, there is also a van, which is a gift from him to his teammates.

Today is the Knicks' media conference for the new season. Before the conference, his gifts will be sent to his teammates.

"I bet there's a bikini beauty inside."

"If it's a beauty, I hope it's Roberts with a big mouth."

"Is it a monster?"

The Knicks players looked at a row of more than a dozen black suitcases in front of them, and they all guessed what Zhao Dong gave this time.

"Open it, and put it on." Zhao Dong shouted.

"Put on? Sneakers? Is it the second generation of the Silver Devils just launched?" Fortson shouted.

"The Second Silver Demon is not at your feet, do you still want me to send it?" Zhao Dong said angrily.

"What's that? Oh, it's clothes? Boss, why did you give me this? I'm not used to suits."

Fortson opened the suitcase, and what he saw was a black suit with a red tie, a white shirt, black leather shoes, and even a belt inside.

Others opened it and saw, good guy, they are all the same thing, and the colors are all the same.

"Put it on, put it on, put it on, and we're a team, the Gentlemen of New York."

Zhao Dong urged: "Hurry up and take off all these messy things on your body, such as hip-hop, rock and roll, cowboy things, all of them."

"Do you want to change them all?"

Many people are dumbfounded, and most people don't like to wear suits.

"Change." Zhao Dong said.

"Let's change if the boss says so." Fortson said dejectedly.

"Change it."

Hu Weidong likes to wear suits quite a bit. It looks like a good thing. Zegna should be a brand or a custom-made product, so it must not be cheap.

Old Nelson came over to have a look, and praised: "Zegna, one of the best suit brands in the world, I heard that if you buy his jacket, you will buy his pants, and if you buy pants, you will buy his shoes .”

Van Gundy laughed and said, "I heard that the Pope of Rome buys his suits."

When everyone changed into black suits and a dozen giants in black suits stood together, the aura was completely different.

The messy team just now became a whole, showing a unified temperament, a strong and gentlemanly temperament.

"Here, put this on."

Zhao Dong opened a suitcase, which contained a pair of sunglasses.

"Oh, I like this." Fortson immediately ran up.

Well, after a dozen or so people put on sunglasses, their demeanor immediately changed again, adding a sense of mystery.

"Oh, we're so cool!"

"I like this."

"No one in the league is cooler than us."

"We're the Gentlemen of New York."

The players got excited and shouted.

Several coaches looked at each other in blank dismay, the New York Gentleman Team?No, it's Gangs of New York after wearing sunglasses.

They looked at Zhao Dong who was standing at the front again, well, it was indeed a bit... like a godfather.

"This, this is? Did you go to the wrong place?"

Grant, who just came in, and the management team were at a loss. Has his team been occupied by any gangster?

"Crack clap clap..."

At the beginning of the press conference, when Zhao Dong and a dozen others came in, the media didn't recognize them at first. It wasn't until Zhao Dong and others took off the sunglasses that they realized it, and frantically started pressing the shutter.

"Fei, Feilong, is your look prepared by the management?" A reporter immediately asked.

"The management doesn't care about this, I prepared this." Zhao Dong said.

"Why do this?"

"Because I want my team to be a real team, and I want this Knicks to be a team with its own unique style."

"What style?"

"Gentlemen's style, we're the Gentlemen of New York."

"Will you always dress like this from now on?" A reporter immediately asked.

"Group activities are like this." Zhao Dong laughed.

After the photos were taken, it was time for a question and answer session.

"Flying Dragon, the new season will be a highly condensed season. Regarding the Knicks' three-peat dynasty defense, how confident are you that you can accomplish this feat?"

The first question was team reporter Thomas.

"100%."

Someone among the reporters shouted loudly.

"Look, he answered you for me." Zhao Dong laughed.

"Haha..." The press conference hall burst into laughter.

"Okay, okay, I admit that I asked a nonsense."

Thomas himself laughed, and changed another question: "In the history of the NBA, there are a total of three teams that have completed three consecutive championships, the Minneapolis Lakers in the 50s, the Celtics with eight consecutive championships, Chicago Bulls.

But in fact, the era of the first two teams is too old, the NBA was too small in that era, and Chicago is the only dynasty team in modern basketball that has won three consecutive championships.

So, Dragon, who do you think is the greater Knicks or Michael Jordan's Bulls? "

This question involves greatness, and in Thomas's question, this Knicks team has been classified as great, and it has been put on the same level as the 91/92/93 Bulls Dynasty, so immediately let all media reporters pay attention, Look at Zhao Dong to see how he answers this question.

Zhao Dong also noticed that Thomas put the Knicks on the same level as the Bulls Dynasty, which is a trap. If he ignores it and directly answers which of the two teams is greater, it is to admit that the Knicks are already a great team. team.

Of course, he will not arrogantly put his team at the same height as the Dynasty Bulls. Without three consecutive championships, he will not be qualified. This is not a question of self-confidence, but because the basis of this problem is the three consecutive championships , Without three consecutive championships, there is no condition to become a great team.
