NBA Dynasty Sniper

Chapter 288
This night, the Lakers defeated the Spurs at home, and the Lakers lost to the Bulls in front, so only the Knicks in the league continued to remain undefeated, leading the league with a record of 9 victories in the league.

Facing his opponent, Zhao Dong played very aggressively in this game. He made 36 of 22 shots, 7 of 7 free throws, and scored 51 points.

The next day, the league released its official MVP rankings for the season.

赵东以场均41分钟，43.5分11篮板8.5助攻1.6抢断3.2盖帽1.2失误2.7犯规的数据，位列排行榜No.1。

No. 2 is the postman Karl Malone, No. 3 is Tim Duncan, and No. [-] is O'Neal, but the data of the three and Zhao Dong's data, especially the score, are too far apart, and none of them has reached [-] points.

Even Duncan and O'Neal scored only half of Zhao Dong's, both around 21 points.

In Philadelphia, Iverson was very unconvinced when he saw this ranking.

He averaged 28.8 points per game, a little higher than the postman, but the MVP ranking is only No.10.

Looking at Zhao Dong's average of 43.5 points per game, he felt powerless. Is this a stat that humans can produce?If he keeps playing like this, he will never even think about winning the honor of scoring champion.

"Why can the Jordan Law limit Jordan's scoring, but the Dragon Law cannot limit the scoring of the Dragon?" He was puzzled.

When the playoffs began in 86, the league hurriedly introduced the Jordan Law, which is the anti-isolation singles rule, and then Jordan's scoring was limited, and the effect was immediate.

But now, the law of flying dragons is useless, it is getting stronger and stronger.

Not only Iverson is thinking about this question, but many people are also thinking about it.

In this regard, Magic Johnson has something to say. He said in an interview with the media: "Flying Dragon is not Jordan, Jordan is a real outsider, and Flying Dragon can play five positions. The limit is not great.

First of all, let's talk about the limitation of the first step. In the last finals, he immediately stopped playing outside and went to the low post to avoid this limitation.

I remember the first victim of this limitation was Stockton, a dribble error.

Then let's talk about the law of dragons. He also used many ways to avoid the restrictions on him.

For example, changing to a different position, such as passing the ball, can help him overcome the law of flying dragons.

Finally, let's talk about zone defense, does it have restrictions on Mutalisks?It's still hard to say, there are not many teams using zone defense.

But in the games that have happened, there are not many restrictions on him, because he can play off the ball, and you can't double-team him through the zone defense.

Unless, the league allows double-teaming without the ball. "

"Flying Dragon = CIC King."

The New York Times reported with this headline: "This season, Feilong has greatly reduced the impact of the inside and greatly increased his mid-range shots. Compared with before, he seems to be getting farther and farther away from the basket.

But after 9 games, his mid-range shooting percentage remained at 57%, near the basket 62%, mid-range 54%, and long two-pointers 51%. This is a desperate shooting percentage.

And this is because he didn't use the boarding technique. Once he unblocks the boarding, his near-basket shooting rate will definitely increase to more than [-]%. "

"I'm afraid some people will advocate the introduction of restrictive rules again?"

The New York Sports News reported on this with a question as the headline: "Finally, our reporter interviewed the most people. Some people suggested that a rule prohibiting three-step layups in the paint area should be introduced. This should limit the flying dragon. The impact on the rim, but now that the Dragons have such a mid-range shooting efficiency, I don’t know what restrictions they want to introduce? Perhaps, as Magic Johnson said, allowing double-teaming of people without the ball? This is indeed a good way. "

"Restricting the scoring of flying dragons will be a century-old problem. I hope someone in the next century can solve this problem." The Washington Post.

Larry Bird was interviewed by the media and commented on Zhao Dong's performance in the first nine games. He said: "It is certain that Feilong has reached the level of the peak Jordan this season, and his scoring ability is even stronger than Jordan. "

Then he said: "But Jordan, who had the most explosive scoring ability, did not win the championship at that time. Chamberlain, who scored 100 points in a single game, could not win the championship. Chamberlain, who averaged 50+20 points per game, also could not win the championship. It should be a question for other teams to consider.

I think, if you want to win the championship, restricting flying dragons is one aspect, and on the other hand, having a perfect lineup is the most important thing.

I am optimistic about the Bulls this year. In their first game against the Knicks, they showed a strength comparable to the Knicks. If they continue to run in, they have a good chance of surpassing the Knicks.

As for the Knicks, although they have the combat power of the flying dragon, it is not a good thing to score too much.

Just like the Bulls back then, once Jordan is restricted by the Bad Boys, the Bulls will lose the game.

Of course there isn't another bad boy army right now, but Magic is right that allowing double-teams off the ball and keeping the Dragon from receiving the ball can limit him to a large extent. "

"Teaming people without the ball is a fucking rule." Unconvinced, O'Neill ran out to face the media and swear.

Once this rule is really allowed, he will be affected no less than Zhao Dong.

"I agree with what Larry Bird said, so it's still a matter of restricting flying dragons."

Tim Duncan, who has little attention, accepted the media this time and talked about this issue. He said: "I have carefully analyzed the dragon. Outside the paint area, his ability to get rid of it is the first in the league, and even the top guards are not as good. Him, that's why he's shooting so high. So, if you limit his ability to escape, that's the key to limiting him."

A word to wake up the dreamer, Tim Duncan's words, and the suggestion mentioned by Magic John about allowing double-teaming of people without the ball, quickly gained everyone's approval.

Pat Riley, who just lost, praised Duncan: "Sure enough, he is a talented student, Tim Duncan has shown a very high basketball IQ.

Yes, we tried our best to limit the dragon, but we couldn't find the key to defense. Magic and Duncan reminded us. "

"Then how to limit his ability to escape?"

Chicago, Bulls headquarters, Phil Jackson thought for a while, and immediately shouted to the assistant outside: "Kerry, go and prepare all the dragon game video materials for me."

Like him, the coaches of many teams began to watch Zhao Dong's game videos over and over again, trying to find tactics to limit Zhao Dong's ability to escape.

"Tim, you're confused, why are you saying that to the media?"

On the Spurs training ground, Popovich complained to Duncan with some anger and confusion.

What Duncan said about Zhao Dong was the result of a discussion between him and Duncan. He didn't expect Duncan to tell the media as soon as he turned around. Is this trying to be a traitor?

Tim Duncan explained: "Greg, we have discussed it for a long time, but there is no good strategy to limit the ability of the flying dragon to get rid of it, so I hope everyone can work together to find a way, otherwise it may be difficult for us to get an accurate answer."

"Is that right?"

Popovich's face was still a little ugly. It was originally his own trump card, but now that the patent has been made public, he feels that he has lost a lot.

"But how do you know those guys will tell you when they figure out a way?" he asked.

Duncan was stunned, looking at Bobo Nanqi, not knowing what to say, do we need them to tell us, won't we be able to see it when they type it out?

"It's over!"

When Popovich saw Duncan's appearance, he immediately realized that this question exposed his IQ.

Knicks, old Nelson looked very serious, since seeing Duncan's interview.

After discussing with Xiao Fan and Thibodeau, he felt that what Duncan said was correct. If it really restricted Zhao Dong's ability to escape, it would definitely limit Zhao Dong's shooting rate.

"Feilong, is Duncan right?" Old Nelson finally called Zhao Dong to make sure.

"Of course, if I can't get rid of the defender, my efficiency will decrease." Zhao Dong laughed.

"What do you think?" Old Nelson asked.

"The solution lies not in me, but in the use of tactics. The opponent wants to limit my ability to get rid of it, so they can only rely on defensive tactics. They can't find anyone who can defend me with single defense." Zhao Dong said.

Old Nelson nodded on the other end of the phone and said, "I understand."

"Let's see what's going on." Zhao Dong finally said.

Because the opponent has not thought of a way to restrict him now, and he has nothing to do.

In the next game, the Knicks played against the Nets, Celtics, Magic, and Timberwolves one after another.

There is no strong team among them, Zhao Dong shot with all his strength, hit 50+ in a row, and when the visiting team challenged the Magic, he completed the task option of 4 consecutive games of 50+.

After hitting 4+ in 50 consecutive games, Zhao Dong showed invincible offensive firepower and led his team to 12 consecutive victories, which made the league's aspiring teams maintain the highest vigilance against the Knicks and him.

The coaching staff of these teams worked overtime, repeatedly studied Zhao Dong's game videos, and tried to develop restrictive tactics.

The time has entered the end of February, and the schedule is nearly one-third past. On the 27th, the Knicks played the Timberwolves away, which was the last game of the month.

"Flying Dragon, do you want to trade Marbury?"

At noon that day, while still in the hotel, Grant suddenly found Zhao Dong and asked.

"No!" Zhao Dong shook his head.

"what?"

Grant was stunned for a moment, and said in puzzlement, "Then why did his agent contact me and say you want Marbury?"

Zhao Dong was startled, and said with a smile: "I made a joke with that kid last time, you don't have to take it seriously."

"But he took it seriously," Grant laughed.

Zhao Dong said with a smile: "This is your job, you don't need to ask me."

"I'm afraid we won't be able to trade him. His contract expires this season, and the agent asks me for a maximum salary. We don't have that much room," Grant said.

"Then reject him, but don't say I'm joking." Zhao Dong laughed.

Grant smiled and pointed at Zhao Dong, and then left.

At Marbury's home, he was about to go to the team and received news from his agent.

"Steve, the Knicks don't have room for next season."

"there is none left?"

"It should be that the contract of Feilong alone is big enough, bigger than Garnett, how can there be room for you? I don't think they want to pay luxury tax for you."

"Then what do you say? I don't want to stay here anymore."

"Apply for the transaction yourself, that's the only way to do it."

"Then... just do it."

In the evening, the Knicks played against the Timberwolves.

When they first met, Zhao Dong noticed that Marbury was looking at him resentfully, and said with a dry smile, "Steve, how are you?"

After glaring at Zhao Dong, Marbury twisted his neck and looked away.

"hey-hey……"

Zhao Dong laughed a few times in embarrassment, and led his team out.

"There is adultery!"

Garnett had a bad feeling in his heart.

Danny Fortson started this time, and he had just hit the third minute of the first quarter. Suddenly, Danny Fortson collided with the madman when he was grabbing a rebound. The former knocked down the latter and fell to the ground. on the floor.

Unfortunately, both of them were injured. Fortson injured his left knee, and Madman injured his right ankle, and they couldn't get up.

Seeing this scene, Neil Grant, the general manager on the sidelines, felt a little in his heart: "These two guys won't be folded in your hands, will they?"

He is particularly worried about Fortson. As an insider, and this kind of violent insider, knee injury is the most serious injury. If he can't recover, he will hit his hand.

Zhao Dong was also very helpless. He had tried his best to help Fordson correct his habit of grabbing rebounds, but he still couldn't avoid his injury.

In the last life, Fortson died halfway due to family changes, injuries, and personality problems. Is it inevitable in this life?

The two main players were injured at once, the Knicks were in trouble, Willis replaced Fortson, and Hu Weidong replaced Madman.

Zhao Dong went all out to attack, scored a 40+ triple-double, and still led his team to win the game, with 13 wins and 0 losses, maintaining a record of unbeaten victories in February.

The next morning, Neil Grant accompanied Fortson and Madman back to New York first, and the team flew to Chicago, preparing to challenge the Bulls away tomorrow.

When the Knicks got on the plane, Marbury's agent came to the Timberwolves headquarters and submitted a trade application to the team.

This request stunned the Timberwolves management.

"Brother Dong, we have entered the finals."

As soon as he got off the flying dragon, before he got on the bus, Zhao Dong turned on his phone and received a call from Dayao.

"So fast?"

Zhao Dong was startled, and then remembered that the NCAA's March Madness had begun.

The season here has only started a month, and the season over there is coming to an end. March Madness will definitely attract a lot of attention from the NBA, and the ratings will definitely be greatly affected.

"Fight well, if you can't win the championship this time, it can only represent the incompetence of a few of you."

Duke University's starters, plus Dayao, this lineup is really too strong in this year's NCAA. Zhao Dong believes that this Duke team is no longer at the same level as other teams.

For the position of center forward, the NCAA has not produced any talents in the past two years. No one is Yao's opponent. With his partner Elton Brand, he is invincible in the NCAA.

For other school teams, the high-end insiders, that is, Lamar Odom at the University of Rhode Island and Artest at John University are all schools that cannot make it to March Madness, so he is very optimistic about Duke this season. University wins.

"Don't worry, Brother Dong, we are sure to be the champion. We haven't lost this season yet." Dayao said confidently.

"That's good." Zhao Dong smiled.

After finishing the phone call with Dayao, he considered the situation of the three people from China.

Dayao will definitely develop well in the future. Whether it is talent, golf quotient, or willpower, they are all top-notch. His future development will definitely surpass his previous life.

It was too late for Hu Weidong to come here. If he had come five years earlier, it would be no problem to play a main player. At this age, most teams would not give the main position, and would usually choose younger players with more potential.

Dazhi is the most talented among the three, but unfortunately he is not as hard-working as Dayao, and his willpower is not as strong. Otherwise, his development will not be lower than that of Dayao in the future.

But now with him, his performance during this period is still good. He has invested a lot of energy on the defensive end and has the courage to confront him defensively. He has become the main rotation member of the Knicks inside.

With the injuries of Fortlin and Madman, the playing time of Dazhi and Hu Weidong will also be significantly improved, which is an opportunity for both of them.

"Da Zhi, you call Dong Ge over, and I'll talk to you." He said at this time.

"Okay." Dazhi got up quickly.

"Zhao Dong?"

Soon Hu Weidong came over.

"Brother Hu, now the madman is injured. This is your chance. You are the starting shooting guard. You have to play well next time. You are on a 2+1 contract, player option. If you play well, you will be out of the contract next season and let Wei Erles work hard, go to other teams to get a big contract, with your strength, it is no problem to get a few million middle-class people, sign for three or four years, $2000 million, this life is enough." Zhao Dong laughed.

"Get out of the contract?"

Hu Weidong's heart trembled.

He paid 75 last season, which was full. This season is 98, but 32 regular season games are missing, so it is not as much as last season, and next season is 132 million. If he jumps out of the contract, it means giving up 132 next season. million contracts.

"Don't hesitate, Brother Hu, you will be 29 years old this year. Work hard at the final peak. A big contract is waiting for you." Zhao Dong encouraged.

"Then listen to you." Hu Weidong nodded heavily.

After talking about Hu Weidong, Zhao Dong turned to Dazhi again, and said to him: "Fordson is injured, you are still a little tender, Willis should start, and Barkley and your playing time will definitely increase, and you should also seize this opportunity.

Continue to play on the offensive end, and must work hard on the defensive end. As long as you do a good job of defending, even in championship-level teams like the Knicks and Bulls, the main center is qualified.

But if there is no defense, no matter how good your offense is, at most you will start in a weak team, and even the weak team will have no chance to start.

With defense, your ceiling is a first-rate center, without defense, you are a third-rate center.Work hard, don't be afraid of getting hurt, don't be afraid of being tired, and don't let down your talent. "

"Understood, Brother Dong."

Hearing the last sentence, he nodded fiercely.

"But this month's competition schedule is too tight, you all have to be careful, don't get hurt." Zhao Dong finally urged.
