Chapter 281 Against the email combination (additional thanks to friends who subscribe and reward votes)
At this time, in another hall, the Bulls' press conference was in progress.

"Michael, are you satisfied with this year's lineup?" The New York Times reporter asked.

"Yes, I am very satisfied."

Although he lost the game, Jordan's mood looked very good, with a smile on his face, his tone was relaxed and confident.

"Why?" the reporter asked.

Jordan laughed: "We only lost by three points, but if it wasn't for the turnover at the end, we could have won the game.

The reason why I am satisfied with this lineup is that our nearly rebuilt lineup, after such a long suspension, can be compared to the Knicks, whose main lineup has not changed too much, after only a few days of running-in. is the reason for my satisfaction. "

"Who do you think is stronger?" The reporter asked again.

"Of course it's us." Jordan said confidently.

Then he added: "Our scoring is more even, which makes the Knicks' defense more distributed. In addition, the offense inside and outside is more balanced than last season.

Last season, our inside line was too old, with many injuries and serious injuries, but this year several of our inside lines, whether they are the main force or the substitute, can defend and score. They have a balanced offense and defense, and they have no injuries...

...and our rookie Tracy McGrady, he improved, he scored 24 points tonight, which makes me very relieved..."

Today is McGrady's first time participating in the Bulls' post-game press conference, and he is very excited.

In the Bulls, he heard Jordan's scolding every day, and his nerves were always on the verge of breaking.

"Rookie, why are you stopping, go to training? Don't sit there, didn't you hear what I said?"

"Hey, what are you doing sitting down again?"

"Damn it, run, you're not a stake."

"High school students, hurry up and do strength training, don't be lazy!"

Too much reprimand, never praise, Jordan put too much pressure on him.

But just now, he actually heard Jordan praise him. This was the first time he praised him. This made him so excited that his eyes turned red.

As soon as he lowered his head, tears welled up in his eyes instantly.

After the press conference, when he came out, Zhao Dong happened to meet Jordan and his party.

He glanced at McGrady, his eyes were red, was he scolded and cried by Jordan at the press conference?
"Jordan, you know his body, don't let it be crippled by you." Pointing to McGrady, he reminded.

"My people don't need you to worry about, we have the best team, have you seen me practice injury?" Jordan said dissatisfied.

Zhao Dong smiled and said: "I just want to remind you, don't overdraw his potential for your present, his body is not as durable as yours."

At this moment, Phil Jackson stood up and said to Zhao Dong: "Feilong, don't worry, our training for Tracy is the most scientific and professional, and we also have the most advanced rehabilitation equipment, so that his body will not be stressed. sexual harm."

Looking at Zhao Dong who turned his back away, Jordan said unhappily: "I'm self-righteous, don't I know?"

He said to McGrady: "Tracey, do you feel tired? Can't the recovery speed of physical fitness keep up with the speed of consumption?"

McGrady lowered his head, then shook his head and said, "Michael, I can keep up."

"Look, I'm right, you self-righteous guy." Jordan glanced back at Zhao Dong, turned his head and walked away.

As McGrady walked, he quietly turned his head and glanced at Zhao Dong's back, his eyes were a bit complicated.

He often talks with Billups on the phone, talking about each other's situation, and envies Billups' pressure-free environment in the Knicks.

To be honest, he really wants to go to the Knicks, not the Bulls.

The next day, the media made extensive comments on the first day of the new NBA season.

The New York Times sports section: "Dragons hit 50+ in the opening game, and the state is bursting. The madman is inefficient, and Mr. Neil Grant made a failed deal.

In contrast to the Bulls, Phil Jackson's introduction of Oakley can be called a stroke of genius, which not only weakened the Knicks, but also greatly improved the quality of the Bulls' inside line.

At the same time, McGrady, the Bulls' No. [-] position, played well and began to shine as a first-class small forward, with full offensive potential.

Compared with the two teams, the Knicks are obviously inferior to the Bulls on the offensive end. Before the trading window is closed, it is recommended that the Knicks continue to trade. "

The New York Times also commented on the battle between the Spurs and the Lakers: "Although the big shark is dominant at the basket, in yesterday's game, he was suppressed by the Spurs twin towers, plus a disaster-level free throw, so the Lakers lost. .

If the Lakers want to reach the finals in the playoffs, they must immediately improve O'Neal's free throw technique (it is recommended that O'Neal use the potty free throw technique), while maintaining a strong outside offense to disperse the defensive pressure of the Spurs twin towers on O'Neal. "

In addition, many media praised McGrady last night, and even called him a future superstar.

The New York media began to question Grant's decision to refuse to trade Fortson for McGrady, saying that the Knicks had lost a chance to have a future superstar.

"Flying Dragon, according to sources, you support Neil Grant's decision, so do you now regret rejecting the opportunity to own Tracy McGrady?"

A reporter from the New York Sports News asked Zhao Dong when he interviewed him by phone.

"Then tell me, after trading Fortson, did you let McGrady go in to grab rebounds?" Zhao Dong asked.

"Uh, this..." The reporter was speechless.

Zhao Dong continued: "In last night's game, our rebounding advantage was no longer great. If Fortson goes to the Bulls again, do you know what the result will be?

Then there will be a situation where we faced the Bulls last season, and the Bulls will have a huge rebounding advantage.

Between offense and rebounding, my choice is rebounding.What's more, Fortson also has a very strong inside defense, which is not what McGrady can bring to us in a second year.

McGrady may be good in the future, but at present we do not lack outside offense, and we will not lose inside defense and rebounds for outside offense. "

On the way home, Zhao Dong wanted to add the two skill points he had obtained to the turnaround jumper, but he failed. Due to balance constraints, this skill could not be improved, and it was still at level 94.

He simply improved his spot-up jumper to level 91.

On the second day, the Knicks started four road trips, namely the Magic and Pistons, Wizards, Digital Team and other Eastern teams.

In the game against the Magic, Zhao Dong scored 50+ again, and won praise from the media for two consecutive 50+ performances.

In this game, Hu Weidong got the chance to start for the first time. He played 32 minutes, made 14 of 6 shots, 4 of 1 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 17 points. His performance was not bad, and he was a normal main force. level of the team.

However, Old Nelson is still not satisfied with this level, because Ben Wallace and Fortson's offensive ability is insufficient. In the Knicks' main lineup, except for Zhao Dong, he points to the position of shooting guard to score points. The shooting guard's expectation is 20+, so in the next game, he put the madman in the starting position again.

Zhao Dongyuan wanted to go all out and complete four 50+ game tasks, but in the game against the Pistons, he encountered a strong defense.

The Pistons played a suffocating game like a bad boy army, and at the same time controlled the rhythm of the game. The score of both sides did not reach [-] points.

Although the Knicks won the game, Zhao Dong only scored 38 points and shot 51%, far below his normal level.

Since he couldn't complete the task, the next game against the Wizards was not important, so he put it aside and gave up the shot and the ball to Billups and the madman to hone the two.

Bilu took over all the organizational functions, and Madman took over the offensive dominance. In the game against the Wizards, they both played well.

Billups got 8 assists, which is the highest number of assists he got in a single game in the Knicks, and he was so happy that his face almost died of laughter.

The madman began to recover, making 21 of 9 shots, 5 of 2 three-pointers, 9 of 6 free throws, and scored 26 points.

What satisfied Old Nelson and Zhao Dong was not the 50% shooting rate, but the 9 free throws.

The Madman returned to his original style of play, made a lightning-fast breakthrough, and did a good job of killing the Wizards inside.

After the game, I went back to the locker room. After summing up, when the players went to take a shower, Nelson Sr. and Van Gundy came outside and chatted.

"Don, our interior offense is insufficient. Can we increase Danny Fortson's offense? I think he still has some offensive potential that can be tapped." Van Gundy said.

Old Nelson shook his head and smiled at Van Gundy.

He didn't underestimate Xiaofan, but Xiaofan only learned defense after following Pat Riley, but he didn't get started in offense.

He said with a smile: "Fortson's position in the team is rebounding and defense. Like Big Ben, he has no offensive talent.

Offensive talent does not refer to scoring ability, but refers to the ability to force the opponent to change their defensive strategy through their own offense.

Jeff, do you think Fortson has that potential? "

Xiao Fan froze, is there any more to say?Mr. Riley didn't teach me!
The old Nelson continued: "Fortson can indeed score. He played well in the second attack at the basket, which is better than Big Ben. He also has some close-to-the-basket and mid-range shots, but that's all. He can't use his own offense. Pressure the opposing defense.

So, it’s okay for him to pick up some misses and score some points, but we can’t arrange offensive tactics for him. "

"I see." Van Gundy nodded.

Old Nelson said: "I have a new idea now, let Fortson enter the bench lineup, or play a fake starter, so that we can increase the inside defense and rebounding ability of the bench lineup.

The main lineup allows Willis to play more. This veteran is still strong, and his scoring ability is stronger than Fortson. , he is our first height.

In the bench lineup, Barkley is too injured, he is not good in the paint area, let Fortson work in the paint area, let Barkley shoot outside, and see how well they cooperate. "

February NO.14, the Knicks flew to Philadelphia.

The Knicks started with four consecutive victories. With little change in the main lineup, the Knicks looked very good, and achieved the first record in the Eastern Conference and the league.

But the Knicks did not dominate the league's first position, because the Spurs also won all four games, and the Philadelphia Digital team also won all four games.

"The email combination cooperated tacitly. They all scored 55 points in the first four battles. They are in a brave state and fully demonstrated the strength of the championship team."

"The Spurs twin towers are unparalleled in dominance, and the West is invincible."

The record of the Spurs and the digital team has been praised by the media.

In the past month, Lindsay has figured out the situation of Nike, and it's time to split Nike.

On this day, in Beijing, Feilong Sports headquarters announced that major shareholders Zhao Dong and Lin Sai have injected 20 billion US dollars into the company, which also symbolizes that Feilong Sports is ready to devour Nike.

These news, under Lindsay's intention, quickly spread in North America.

Arriving in Philadelphia, the Knicks held a press conference at the hotel at the request of the media.

"Feilong, the digital team won all four games, and the email team averaged 55 points per game. They even have potential to tap. Do you still think that the digital team is not as strong as a championship?"

The Philadelphia Sports News reporter asked proudly.

Zhao Dong said with a smile: "Maybe they have the strength of a championship team, but they don't have the strength to beat the Knicks."

"Why?" The reporter said angrily.

Zhao Dong sneered and said, "Because I'm born to restrain the postman, because I can beat him on both offense and defense."

"..."

The reporter was speechless, because he knew that Zhao Dong's words were not exaggerated at all.

"Feilong, just now the New York branch of Feilong Sports Company announced that you and Ms. Lindsay have invested 20 billion dollars in Feilong Sports. Is this true?"

asked a New York Times reporter.

"Wow, our boss is so rich."

Fortson next to him said to Big Ben next to him with a look of envy.

"Yes."

Da Ben, who never had any expression on his face, also looked envious, and was moved by the 20 billion US dollars.

"It's true, the capital injection has been completed." Zhao Dong nodded.

"Miss Lindsay once said in front of Michael Jordan in London that she wanted to split up Nike, so is this capital injection for Dragon Sports to acquire Nike?" the reporter asked.

Zhao Dong didn't stop talking, and said directly: "Flying Dragon Sports and Nike are competitors. It is a normal business practice to acquire a rival. You don't need to over-interpret it."

"Then, is Dragon Sports' acquisition of Nike a public acquisition? Will other commercial organizations participate?" The reporter asked again.

"Storm Fund's splitting of Nike, according to the law, of course allows other commercial organizations to participate in the bidding, Dragon Sports is only one of the buyers." Zhao Dongdao.

"That……"

The reporter was still waiting to ask about this matter, and Zhao Dong said: "Okay, if you want to know more about this matter, go to Feilong Sports or Storm Fund. I don't hold any management positions in these two companies. duty."

"Flying Dragon, Iverson averaged 30.5 points per game in the first four games. As a player of the same year, what do you think of him?"

asked a reporter from the Philadelphia Journal.

"As the No. 30 pick, as an offensive guard, averaging [-]+ per game is an excellent performance, and his efficiency is also good. He deserves praise." Zhao Dong laughed.

This praise made local reporters very upset. A reporter from a local sports newspaper couldn't help shouting: "Feilong, your tone is high, as if you are commenting on a rookie. You are looking down on Allen. Is this inappropriate?"

Zhao Dong said in surprise: "Am I not qualified to comment on Iverson? Then why does Mr. So ask me to comment on him? Are you Philadelphians digging holes for me?"

"NONO, I have nothing to do with him, he doesn't represent me." The reporter from the Philadelphia Daily hurriedly clarified.

"I mean your tone." The local sports newspaper reporter emphasized.

"What's my tone? I am superior? Am I not qualified to be superior in front of Iverson?"

Zhao Dong sneered, and said again: "I have the same tone in front of Jordan, I have the qualification to win him twice, and he is not as upset as you.

If you are not convinced, wait until Iverson beats me.

I want to tell you that this season I will be defending my dynasty, I won all the individual heavyweight honors last season, and Iverson is still working hard for the playoffs.

So, if you want Iverson to stand at the same height as me, and you want me to look him up instead of looking down on him, there is only one way to let him catch up with me in hard honors.

Otherwise, you can only accept my attitude and tone towards him, and you are not qualified to have other options. "

"..."

The reporter was so angry that his nose was crooked, he turned around and said to the fellow photographer next to him, "It's so annoying, how can he be so arrogant, he's just a Chinese."

"Remember his identity, he is a billionaire, his wife is a Wall Street tycoon, he is rich and powerful here. If you say this loudly so that he can hear him, he will immediately let his legal team Send you to the dock. And you can bankrupt just by paying the lawyer's fees."

The companion kindly reminded.

"..."

The reporter was taken aback when he heard the words, and immediately shut up.

Immediately after the press conference, Old Nelson held a tactical meeting.

Van Gundy first introduced the situation of the digital team in the first four games, and said: "The basic tactic they use is to score points, not the pick-and-roll tactic that the Postman is good at, and it is a completely different team from the Jazz.

Under normal circumstances, the postman pulls out and Iverson rushes in. The tactics are simple but effective.

The postman's style of play is still the original style of play, using elbows to clear the way to gain shot space.

As for Iverson, his breakthrough increased the change of speed control, and at the same time increased the change of direction, no longer relying entirely on speed breakthroughs as before. "

"In this way, his breakthrough threat will be even greater." Old Nelson added.

Van Gundy nodded and continued: "His pull-up jumper is more consistent than last season, shooting 43 percent from mid-range in the first four games.

Specifically, the near basket is 35%, the middle distance is 41%, and the far two points are 47%.In addition, the three-point shooting rate reached 34%.Combined with his shooting at the basket, his overall shooting rate reached 46%, which is a very efficient performance. "

Zhao Dong certainly doesn't know the specific situation of Iverson in this period of his last life, but he can be sure that in the area of ​​near-basket jump shots, Iverson will not exceed 30% in this period of his last life, because this area will encounter insiders The strong defensive pressure is the area where Iverson has the lowest efficiency.

In addition, in the previous life, 41% of the middle distance was 8%, but now it has reached 34%, an increase of [-] percentage points. This is a great improvement, which means that Iverson has really become much stronger.Moreover, the three-pointer also reached [-]%, which should also be stronger than the previous life.

Van Gundy added: "Their starting lineup has been fixed, let's analyze it now.

Striker Theo Ratliff, 26 years old, is a defensive champion with strong ability to block shots and protect the rim. 43% of his offenses are two-pointers and 40% of his shots. The other offenses are concentrated on the basket and close to the basket. The basket shooting rate can reach [-]%, and the offense is not bad.

Not to mention power forwards, small forward George Lynch is a role player, needless to say, what Iverson said just now, let me talk about point guard Eric Snow.

He was a second-round pick in 95. He was traded to Philadelphia in the middle of last season as a backup point guard. This season, he started all four games, and Iverson gave him the ball.

His offense is average, he doesn't have the three-pointers that point guards have, mainly his organizational ability, averaging 6.5 assists per game in four games, and he has a strong ability to sort out offense.

It is precisely because of his presence that in these four games, Iverson's offensive rationality has surpassed that of last season, improving his offensive efficiency.

I won't talk about the offensive end, let's talk about the defensive end.

Inside defense, Ratliff + postman, this is a top defensive combination, and a defensive combination with strong offensive ability, their rebounding ability is also first-class.

Perimeter defense, point guard Snow averaged 6.5 assists per game in the first four games, and performed very well.

Iverson's defense is a weakness, but his defense is still very hard, especially the quick return defense in the transition between offense and defense.

Small forward, if Feilong plays this position, I think the counter tactics of the digital team are foul tactics, using cheap role players and marginal players, and using constant fouls to reduce the efficiency of Feilong.

On the whole, the defense of the digital team is weak inside and outside, and the second position is the biggest weakness. Feilong has more opportunities to play Iverson in a misplaced position, so he can play more. "

After Xiao Fan finished speaking, the old Knicks continued: "In this game, the focus is on the inside, and we must find a way to reduce their offensive efficiency inside.

On the offensive end, Feilong freely chooses outside or inside.Defensively, the old way, against the Dragons against the Postman.In addition, this game, Fortson, you play on the bench. "

"what?"

Danny Fortson immediately looked depressed, without a hint of cover.

"But your playing time will not be less, you are a young man, you have to play a dozen more." Old Nelson smiled.

Only then did Fortson heave a sigh of relief. As long as he has enough playing time, it's no problem whether he starts first or not. If the substitute lineup plays a little more time, his stats will definitely be better.

"Kevin, you start, pull out on the offensive end, so that the outside has room to break through." Old Nelson said.

"Okay, I understand." Willis nodded.

"Feilong, do you have anything to say?" Old Nelson asked.

Zhao Dong thought for a while and said: "Latrier, the defensive task tomorrow night is very heavy, you have to pay attention to this."

"Latrier, you have to pick up your defense. Our Knicks started with defense, and we must not lose our defense." Van Gundy immediately said to the madman.

"I see." The madman said hastily.

His defense is very strong. He was selected to the league's best defensive second team in the second grade, but sometimes he invests too much in the offensive end and ignores some defensive investment.
