NBA Dynasty Sniper

Chapter 277 Old Oak Tree: I'm a fan of this Chinese, who has an opinion?
"Damn Thomas, I wish you to take Viagra as soon as possible, and then it doesn't work."

Cursing secretly, Zhao Dong smiled and said, "I want to save this question for you after the end of this season, is that okay?"

Thomas was taken aback, then laughed and nodded.

The second question was from a reporter from the New York Athletic, who asked, "Coach Nelson, will the Knicks' main lineup change this season?"

Old Nelson replied: "During the regular season, we are the same as last season, rookies and young people will get more opportunities."

After saying these words, the expressions of Danny Fortson, Billups, and Mobley suddenly became excited.

The reporter asked: "Then the introduction of Madman to the team will have an impact on the locker room?"

Old Nelson smiled, turned his head to look at Zhao Dong, and then replied: "You should ask Feilong this question, that belongs to the player's world.

Of course, I can also say that Feilong has a very high level of management of the locker room, with the help of Barkley and Kevin Willis, I think there is no problem. "

"Feilong, what do you think?" The reporter asked Zhao Dong.

"We have an extra good boy in the locker room." Zhao Dong said with a smile.

"Pfft!"

Danny Fortson and Barkley laughed immediately.

"What good boy?" The reporter was confused, as were the others.

"Madman, tell him, what is a good boy?" Zhao Dong turned around and asked.

The madman twitched, stood up with a flushed face, and said, "Listen to the boss, respect the boss, respect the coach, and love your teammates..."

"Haha..." Everyone burst into laughter.

The madman couldn't continue, he really wanted to dig a hole and get in, his face was bleeding.

"All right."

Zhao Dong signaled everyone to be quiet, and said seriously: "Madman has joined the Knicks now. I told him that if he can do what he just said, he will be a member of the Knicks. At the same time, I don't recognize His presence will have a bad effect on our dressing room because I won't allow it."

"Flying Dragon, how many teams do you think can pose a threat to the Knicks this season? Who are they?" The third question was a New York Times reporter.

Zhao Dong said solemnly: "The Bulls have finished cleaning, and judging from the lineup, their strength is stronger than last season.

The Lakers have also completed some transactions. The establishment of a reasonable collision zone will allow O'Neal to become more and more dominant at the basket, and their young people have also begun to grow up.

With Tim Duncan adapting to the NBA, the Spurs will also occupy a place among the top teams in the league, and they have the strength to compete for the championship.

Those three teams, plus the Knicks, will be the four championship teams in the league this season, in my opinion. "

"Flying Dragon, Philadelphia has formed an e-mail combination, and you have made reinforcements in other positions. Do you think the digital team has not reached the championship-level strength?"

asked a reporter from the Los Angeles Times.

"The combination of Postman and Lightning may indeed achieve the effect of a strong combination. This is a good deal."

Zhao Dong first affirmed the strength of the email combination, and then said: "Iverson's strength continues to improve, and his offensive efficiency continues to improve. This is his third season. He has the ability to attract double teams, which will create new opportunities for the postman. Vacant or misplaced opportunities.

At the same time, this is also the first teammate in the postman's career who has first-class singles ability with the ball and can even score at critical moments. This is an opportunity for him.

But I think the schedule of the new season is too tight and there is no opportunity for them to hone. This will be a test for them. They should need a longer time to hone, so I think they will not reach the championship level this season. "

"In other words, do you think they will be a championship-level team next season?" the reporter asked.

"It depends on the situation. I have already made it very clear that I have that potential." Zhao Dong said.

"The Jazz traded Stockton to the Mavericks for the Mavericks' unprotected first-round pick this year. What do you think will happen with this deal?" a reporter asked.

Zhao Dong analyzed: "This year? Even if the Mavericks don't make it to the playoffs, with Stockton joining, the record won't fall to the bottom, and maybe they can make it to the playoffs, so no matter what, draw The chances of getting into the top three are also slim.

And this year's high probability is a small draft year, a lottery pick, I don't think it's worth a Stockton.Stockton is old, but still good, and the Jazz's trade is not so good, which will make the Jazz's rebuilding more difficult. "

The Knicks' media conference for the new season was so successful that it made the Knicks the center of all media coverage.

"The Knicks have transformed, the New York Gentlemen shine at Madison Square Garden."

"The Gentlemen of New York, the first uniformed team in the league, they showed a unified strength, they were full of strength."

"Under the leadership of the dragon, the New York Knicks will become a model for the league. They are no longer a symbol of violence, they will be a symbol of luxury and gentleman."

"Knicks, Bulls, Lakers, Spurs, Feilong believes that these four teams will be the most powerful contenders for the championship this season."

A large number of media reports have attracted the attention of fans, providing a good degree of attention for the start of the new NBA season.

"We have to do the same. We can't lose to the Dragons and the Knicks."

Chicago, in the locker room of the Bulls training facility, Jordan turned off the TV enviously, and shouted back to his teammates: "We also need to dress uniformly, and we need to become a real team."

"However, they are wearing Zegna's custom-made products, plus leather shoes, which cost tens of thousands of dollars a set. I heard that Feilong prepared three sets for each of his little brothers." Someone muttered.

Jordan twitched, tens of thousands of sets, three sets for one person?Xie Te, the whole team can't add up to more than 100 million US dollars?
Forget it, Nike was bought by Feilong's bastard wife, maybe one day his own brand shoes will be killed, so it's better to save some money in your hands.

"Damn Feilong, he always likes to do these fancy things." After sitting back in his seat, he muttered.

"Why didn't Nike come to me? What does Feilong's wife want to do? Feilong Sports has produced the second generation of Silver Devils, and this season I have no new sneakers. Is it really going to scrap my brand shoes? No, I can't sit still, I want to prepare for a lawsuit..."

All of a sudden, his mind was full of thoughts.

During this period of time, since Nike changed hands, he has been preparing for Nike to contact him, but no, Nike has not called him once, as if he has no relationship with Nike, which makes him very anxious and does not know how to wait for himself What is it.

"Rookie, come here." At this moment, Ewing shouted at Dazhi.

"What's the matter, Patrick?" Da Zhi quickly got up and asked.

Ewing took out a Franklin and said, "Go buy me a glass of Hosman's..."

Oakley next to him didn't need to finish listening, he knew that Ewing was going to clean it up, because the Hosman's shop was five kilometers away from here, where Ewing lived, and when he went to visit Ewing, Ewing took him have been.

He immediately interrupted Ewing and said, "Patrick, you happened to pass by there when you came home. You can handle it yourself. I need the rookie to do something for me."

"..."

Ewing was very helpless, it was impossible for him to slap Oakley in the face, so he nodded.

"king……"

Oakley beckoned, let Da Zhi sit back in his seat, and said, "Pick up my sneakers when you leave, this is what you have to do as a rookie, OK?"

"OK."

Dazhi nodded quickly.

Oakley looked around at the rest of the locker room to see who had an opinion.

He has made his intentions very clear. If he wants to cover up the Chinese, Ewing will not give him any face. Anyone who has an opinion can raise it now, and anyone who opposes it can attack him, including Jordan.

Jordan glanced at Oakley, did not speak, and acquiesced to the other party's attitude.

Not to mention that Oakley was here, even if he didn't, he would not bother to make things difficult for the Chinese because of the conflict with Zhao Dong.

He is a little disappointed with Dazhi, the offense is okay, and he is qualified to play a rotation, but the defense is not good, this is not the person he wants.

No one else spoke. One of the four villains, Oakley, as the main power forward of the two championships, was invited by Phil Jackson and Jordan to return to the Bulls. He had a lot of words in the Bulls locker room. Right, the status in the locker room is not lower than that of Jordan, one of the absolute leaders of the locker room, Ewing is not as good as him.

"This time the flying dragon set the best example."

New York, NBA headquarters, Stern looked at the newspaper in his hand, 12 points satisfied.

Above is a group photo of the Knicks, wearing a top-notch suit, looking decent, completely free of the messy, unrefined feeling before, and this is what he wants to see.

"Locke?" he called.

"President, what are your orders?" A white man in his thirties walked in.

After the former special assistant was driven to the Development League by him, this is Stern's newly promoted special assistant, a person who has no concept of racial discrimination.

"The Knicks have done a very good job this time. We must vigorously promote the Knicks...and the Dragons as our promotional models." Stern laughed.

"Yes, President, I will notify the Propaganda Department immediately." Locke smiled.

"Go ahead." Nodding, Stern smiled.

On February [-]th, the shortened new season will begin.

The Knicks played their first regular-season game against their old enemy, the Bulls.

After being suspended for such a long time, the vitality of the alliance has been greatly lost. In order to restore some popularity, Stern specially arranged this opening game.

At noon that day, the Bulls arrived in New York.

At two o'clock, the Bulls arrived at the hotel and held a press conference.

The first questioner was a reporter from the New York Times. He asked, "Michael, how does the change of ownership of Nike affect you?"

"A question like shit."

Jordan cursed secretly, and said, "Storm Fund's entry into Nike does cause some confusion to me, but I will handle this issue well."

"Do you think the storm's entry into Nike will help the dragon?" the reporter asked.

"Of course it helps, that's his wife, a husband-loving madman."

Jordan cursed again, saying: "The league will not allow sponsors to intervene in league affairs, which has been reflected in the league preventing the Lakers from trading postmen.

Then I think even if the Storm Fund wants to use Nike to help the Dragons and the Knicks build a strong lineup, the league will not allow it. "

"Then Michael, the storm's entry into Nike will have any impact on the MJ brand?" The reporter continued to ask.

This makes Jordan sad, he knows what a fart, who knows what that crazy lover will do?Or will it dismantle Nike directly and then close the MJ brand?

Seeing that Jordan was in grief, the reporter asked again: "Didn't Nike contact you after so long?"

"No." Jordan said helplessly.

"You didn't contact Nike either?" the reporter asked again.

Jordan suddenly couldn't control himself, and said angrily: "I won't contact Nike, they can do whatever they want, at worst, abolish my contract, abolish my subsidiary, I don't care, I'm ready sue them."

"But apart from Nike, I'm afraid even Adidas would not dare to provoke the Storm Fund. If you don't endorse Nike, what brand of sneakers will you wear in the future?"

"I?"

Jordan is out of breath, can I play barefoot?

On this day ESPN announced the new season's championship probability prediction rankings.

The first tier is the four championship-level teams identified by Zhao Dong. The Knicks, who have won two consecutive championships, rank first, with a 39% chance of winning, followed by the Bulls at 35%, and the third and fourth are the Lakers and Spurs. They are 31% and 30% respectively.

The second-tier teams are the Heat, Pacers, Philadelphia Digital Team, and Magic. The chances of winning the championship are all below [-]%, and the possibility of winning the championship is very small.

In Philadelphia, the digital team is training in the team, but Iverson is a little upset.

ESPN didn't put his team in the first tier, and Zhao Dong's interview yesterday also didn't put his team in the championship team, he thinks it's wrong.

The joining of the postman not only strengthened the team's mid-range offensive ability, but also strengthened the inside defense and rebounding.

In addition, no one can ignore the postman's stable mid-range shot, and his ability to stretch is rare in the league. On the offensive end, his breakthrough will have a very large space, far exceeding when Coleman was there.

Compared with Coleman, Postman has qualitatively improved the team's offensive and defensive changes.

But he also thinks what Zhao Dong said is right, the run-in and merger with the postman in the past ten days has not been very smooth.

Postman has played pick-and-roll tactics for more than a dozen seasons, but his team focuses on scoring tactics. It really takes longer for them to cooperate properly.

"Flying Dragon, I will prove to you that my team is capable of overthrowing the Knicks."

But in any case, he believes that his team has the strength of the championship level.

On the night of the fifth, Madison Square Garden in New York.

Before the game started, Jordan came to the home team's locker room alone, biting his beloved cigar.

"I want to see the flying dragon."

Looking at the security guards who were looking at him suspiciously, he took down his cigar, exhaled a bunch of smoke rings, and said with his chin raised.

"Duoduo!" A security guard knocked on the door and shouted to the inside: "Feilong, Jordan wants to see you, so he is outside."

"Jordan?"

Zhao Dong came out in surprise.

"What are you looking for me for?"

"What? What can I do?"

Jordan suddenly became agitated, threw the cigar on the ground, stepped on it, and extinguished it vigorously, then shouted at Zhao Dong: "I just want to ask, what exactly do you want?"

"Is there something wrong with your brain? What's wrong with me?" Zhao Dong asked puzzled.

"Your wife bought Nike, what about me and Nike's MJ company? You haven't contacted me for so long, and my new shoes are not on sale. What do you guys want?"

Jordan yelled angrily.

Zhao Dongdao: "Are you out of your mind? The acquisition has just been completed, and the management must reorganize. How can you ignore you now?"

"I just want to know, what will you do with me? Will you abolish the MJ brand?" Jordan said angrily.

"Your brand?"

This season, the system has no tasks related to Jordan. Zhao Dong thought for a while and said: "The matter between us is over, I will not target you again, but what will happen to your brand, this is a question that Nike management will consider in the future. ,not my business.

If you are worried that the Storm Foundation will deal with you, then you are thinking too much, you are now an excellent asset of the Storm Fund, you are making money for us, as an investor, Lindsay and I will not do that. "

"Really?" Jordan couldn't believe it: "But when your wife was in London, she said she was going to abolish my brand?"

"Really? She didn't tell me. It should be a temporary remark."

Zhao Dong said disdainfully: "By the way, Jordan, you are getting old, I don't want to trample on you anymore, you should retire quickly, retire bravely, and if you continue to hang around, your fame for a lifetime will be over."

"Nonsense, if we fight again this season, I won't lose again." Jordan said angrily.

To be honest, it's not that he is talking big, his confidence is really great this season.

Under his high pressure, the rookie McGrady practiced for a few months during the offseason, showing great offensive potential, and his strength improved rapidly.

He believes that McGrady's offensive potential is much stronger than that of Pippen, especially the offensive ability with the ball. Once McGrady grows up and has the ability to attract double teams, then he will have the strongest helper.

However, whether he can wait until that day depends on whether McGrady can really grow up in these two seasons.

He decided that if he fails again this season, he will play another season, and if he fails again next season, he will have no choice but to retire.

In addition, in addition to McGrady, Kidd has also become better and worked on his shooting.

In terms of inside, there are Rasheed Wallace and Oakley, and the Mavericks got the inside defensive champion Kurt Thomas, plus Ewing, Mark Bryant, Dick Simpkins, these are a few A guy with good defense and rebounding, this year's interior is much stronger than previous seasons.

He believes that this year's lineup is no worse than the Knicks.

Especially the inside line, with the addition of Rasheed Wallace, a young team, is full of vitality, which is completely different from the old-fashioned in previous seasons.

Looking at the back of Jordan leaving, Zhao Dong thought to himself: "Jordan, your MJ will still exist, but Nike will not."

Of course he knows what Lindsay is doing now. She is investigating everything about Philip Knight. No matter what the result is, after the investigation, Nike will be dismantled immediately.

Flying Dragon Sports will acquire Nike's R&D room, sales channels, MJ subsidiaries, and of course NBA player endorsements and sponsorship contracts.

Of course, this is only a superficial plan, and the real plan will not be disclosed to anyone.
