NBA Dynasty Sniper

Chapter 296 NCAA Championship + Billion Dollar Contract
After playing in the NCAA for two seasons, Dayao received the most professional training at Duke. The old coach K did not break his promise. He took out all the resources and equipped Dayao with the top training team.

In the past two years, Dayao has completed a transformation. He has grown from a tall and thin young boy with a bamboo pole to a strong young man with a height of 226 cm and 120 kg.

The New York Times reported on Dayao at length: "Duke's center's technology is based on the three super centers of Dameng, Ewing, and Robinson. It can be called an offensive machine. Covering three-pointers and long-range two-pointers, the shooting touch is top-notch.

His movement is very flexible, and his super-large stride makes his speed not weaker than that of the average small forward, and he can even make fast breaks when the offense and defense switch.

On the defensive end, theoretically, with his moving speed, he can prevent out of the paint and reach the mid-range area.

He has reached the level of the draft. If he participates in this year's NBA draft, the No. [-] pick will be his only pick. "

New York Sports News: "Duke center can be the cornerstone of a team, we think he has no need to stay in Duke anymore, because the NCAA game can no longer help him improve, he must participate in the draft. "

At noon, Zhao Dong had a treat at home. Dayao and Yao's father and mother were invited, as well as Zhang Mingji, Hu Weidong and Dazhi as companions.

At the beginning of lunch, Yao's father and Yao's mother toasted Zhao Dong, thanking him for his training of his son.

Zhao Dong shook his head and said with a smile: "Without me, Dayao would still be Dayao. Seniors, I don't need to say thank you. Come on, let's wish Dayao win the championship tonight. Let's have a toast."

"Dry!"

Everyone raised their glasses.

It is said to be a glass, which is just a sip of red wine, not much.

"Zhao Dong, now the media thinks that Dayao can be drafted, what do you think?" Hu Weidong asked.

"I think it's about time. I often watch Dayao's games. The technology has matured. The progress in the past two years is really too fast."

Dazhi sighed.

He lamented that if he also had the opportunity to enter the NCAA that year, his achievements would definitely be greater than now.

But it's not bad now. He has become one of the main rotation players in the Knicks, averaging 10 minutes per game. The opportunity is not small.

"Zhao Dong, what do you see?"

Yao Ma looked at Zhao Dong, hoping that he could provide some advice.

She herself was born in women's basketball, and she also has her own professional views, but who is sitting here, including her husband, who can compare to Zhao Dong?So she attached great importance to Zhao Dong's opinion.

Moreover, Zhao Dong had been emphasizing that Dayao would play at Duke for at least three years. Although the media said that he could be drafted, she still wanted to listen to Zhao Dong.

Zhao Dong smiled and said, "Dayao's progress is indeed very fast. Coach K has put in a lot of effort. We have to thank him."

"That's right, I thanked him when I saw him yesterday." Papa Yao laughed.

Zhao Dong nodded and said: "Technically speaking, I said that Dayao would play at Duke for three years, but now I think I underestimated him. Dayao..."

"Eh."

Zhao Dong looked at Dayao, and Dayao nodded quickly, looking at him nervously.

Zhao Dong said with a smile: "You have not been lazy in the past two years, you deserve praise."

"hey-hey!"

Dayao rubbed his head and laughed.

Zhao Dong said again: "The media is right about the draft. Now Yao's strength is really not necessary in the NCAA."

Dayao's eyes lit up, and he quickly looked at his mother.

Yao's mother glanced at Dayao, but said to Zhao Dong worriedly: "Zhao Dong, it won't be too early?"

Zhao Dong said with a smile: "The NCAA is a place to lay the foundation. Dayao's technical foundation has been laid, and the physical foundation has also been laid. What is lacking now is the actual training.

But the NCAA has not been able to find a center that can compete with Dayao in the past two years. He has no opponents, so if he continues to play in the NCAA, his progress will slow down, so it is better to participate in the draft. "

Yao's mother and Yao's father nodded repeatedly. They are all professionals, and they understand immediately.

Zhang Mingji excitedly said: "Then I will sign up for Dayao right away?"

"can."

Zhao Dong said with a smile: "After tonight's final, I will ask Feilong Sports to give Dayao a sponsorship contract tomorrow."

"Great!" Hu Weidong laughed.

"Dayao, maybe you are the No. [-] pick." Dazhi said excitedly.

Zhao Dong suddenly thought of something, and warned: "Everyone, pay attention, before tonight's finals, we must not disclose the matter of Dayao's draft."

"Why?" Hu Weidong asked suspiciously.

Zhao Dong explained: "Duke power forward, Yao's teammate Elton Brand is scheduled to be the No. Once Dayao participates in the draft, I think the prospect of the draft will be more stable than that of Brand."

"Then let's talk after the fight." Zhang Mingji nodded and said, and everyone also agreed.

That night, Zhao Dong, Hu Weidong, Dazhi, Yao's father, Yao's mother, and Zhang Mingji came to Madison Square Garden.

As soon as they entered, they were surrounded by various media.

"Flying Dragon, Duke power forward Elton Brand is currently the most likely No. [-] pick. If Yao participates in this year's draft, who do you think will be the No. [-] pick between him and Brand?"

"Feilong, will Yao participate in this year's draft?"

"Flying dragon..."

A lot of questions were thrown to Zhao Dong.

Zhao Dong waited for the surrounding area to calm down a bit, and then said: "Sorry, there is no answer to the question about the draft."

"Feilong, who do you think Duke University or UConn will have a better chance of winning the championship?" A reporter immediately changed the question.

"Of course Duke." Zhao Dong said without hesitation.

"why?"

"At the center position, UConn has no one who can match Yao."

Zhao Dong said with a smile: "In the era of center forwards, Kangda was suppressed at the fifth position. Do I need to say the result? Kangda is on the offensive end. Under Yao's defense, the overall offensive quality will be affected to a certain extent.

But more serious is on the defensive end. How does UConn defend Yao's low post and basket offense?When Yao La came out, how to guard against his mid-range shot?How to defend against Duke's perimeter breakout tactics under the open tactics? "

In the Duke locker room, Dayao and Brand sat together.

Because Yao Min has not announced his participation in the draft, Brand has the brightest prospects in the draft now, and most media in the division predict that he will become the No. 99 pick in [-].

But in Duke, the team's core is Dayao, the first scoring point is also Dayao, and the first choice of offense is also Dayao.

"Yao, haven't you decided yet?" Brand asked suddenly.

He was a little apprehensive, because he knew very well that if Yao participated in this year's draft, he would probably be the first choice for the No. [-] pick.

"Uh, Elton, the final is the most important thing now, don't let this kind of thing affect our psychology, okay?" Dayao said.

Brand was taken aback and nodded.

Battier laughed beside him and said, "Actually, I don't think there's much difference between you who are selected as the No. Compared with the contract is the biggest."

Maggette laughed: "It would be nice if I could get a lottery pick. The current contract is very big. A lottery pick's rookie contract is at least tens of millions."

Dayao said to Brand again: "Don't be influenced by the media. If you win the No. [-] pick, you will be under a lot of pressure after entering the league. Look at Iverson, who is compared with Brother Dong by the media every day. How miserable is it?"

Brand thought for a while, it seems so?Looking at it this way, it would be better to choose the second place.

Dayao laughed and said, "Even if I participate in the draft, I don't want to win the first prize, otherwise I won't be able to win in the future, and I will be called the top pick of parallel importers, and it will be miserable."

"That's right."

Brand nodded repeatedly.

Seeing Brand being limped by himself, Dayao laughed secretly.

At eight o'clock, the NCAA finals begin.

TNT TV broadcasts the game live across the United States.

Bill Walton said in the live broadcast: "This year's Duke is still the main lineup of last year, and all the main players are sophomores.

Elton Brand, a forward, is currently the top pick in the draft, at least the top three.Corey Maggette, forward, is a lottery prospect.Battier, forward, is a lottery prospect.William Avery, guard, lottery pick.

Carlos Boozer, forward, did not declare for the draft.Jay Williams, a guard, also did not participate in the draft this year, but the future draft prospects given by the media are predicted to be the top five in the first round, with great potential, and next year's draft prospects will be even higher.

Yao Min, a center forward, did not announce his participation in this year's draft. According to the media's predictions for future draft prospects, at least the top three. "

Matt was surprised: "My God, Duke has accumulated so many potential rookies?"

Bill Wharton said with a smile: "Currently the most concerned is center Yao Min. He won the John Wooden Award and the Naismith Award this year. Whether he will announce the draft within the deadline, we don't know now. But once he enters the I think this year's No. [-] pick will most likely be a Chinese."

"I heard that he was brought to the United States by Feilong, so I guess the Knicks really want him?" Matt laughed.

"The B2 bomber could go down the ground, but Yao can't fall into the Knicks' pick." Bill Walton laughed.

At this point the game begins.

Dayao jumps the ball, and the opposite Kangda center also has 208 cm, but the reaction speed cannot keep up with Dayao, and Duke attacks.

On the first ball, Dayao first swayed in the low post on the left wing, then suddenly turned around and cut inside.

At this time, William Avery passed the ball just right. After receiving the ball, Dayao took advantage of the momentum and slammed to the basket. With a bang, he faced the opponent's center with a one-handed dunk.

"Pretty!"

Zhao Dong and others stood up and applauded Dayao on the sidelines, and Madison Square Garden also burst into warm cheers.

On the second ball, Dayao came to the basket and occupied his position. After receiving the ball, he swayed left and right, shaking the opponent's center. When he was about to make a layup, the opponent's power forward defended. Basket, hit a ball.

"Oh, UConn's two insiders got lost by the Duke center?"

Bill Walton shouted excitedly: "Yao, come to the NBA, the NCAA can't accommodate you anymore, and you can no longer improve there.

Remember, don't be like Duncan. He wasted at least two years in Wake Forest. If he entered the NBA two years earlier, he must be stronger than he is now.Remember, the stronger your opponent is, the more progress you can make. "

On the third ball, after Dayao got the ball under the basket, he restrained the opponent's two insiders, and then got a chance from the outside, Shane Battier appeared open, Dayao passed the ball, Battier shot through Kangda's basket with an open three-pointer basket.

At the beginning, Duke played a wave of [-]-[-] attacks.

"The center gap is too big. The Duke center has the potential of a top center. Now he has the strength of a top center in the NBA. How can UConn resist Duke's low-post attack?" Bill Walton said.

"Hamilton missed a mid-range shot, the Duke center grabbed the backcourt rebound, and Duke went down quickly... Oh, the Duke center is also going down fast, he is not slower than the guard, he kept up with the fast down rhythm..."

"Oh, the Duke center rushed out of the paint and sent a big cap to Hamilton!"

"Oh my God, the Duke center pulled up to the left-wing three-point line, and he made a shot? Oh, a three-pointer!"

"Yao got the ball under the basket, Kangda double-teamed, left and then right, hook? Another hit!"

After halftime, Dayao made 9 of 7 shots, 4 of 4 free throws, 1 of 1 three-pointers, and scored 19 points in the half.

In the auditorium, there were a large number of scouts, as well as the general manager with many fans.

"I don't know if he will run for election this year?"

Jazz general manager Ham drooled and stared at Dayao.

The general managers of other bad teams like the Clippers were staring at Dayao, as if they were looking at a peerless beauty.

Bill Wharton sighed: "The center of UConn is too weak and cannot compete at all. The center of Duke is too strong. He should not stay in the NCAA anymore."

Matt said: "40:29, Duke leads by 11 points, victory is in sight."

"The champion is secured."

Zhao Dong is hostile to Hu next to him.

Hu Weidong nodded and said: "Kangda's low-post offense can't be launched. Dayao's defensive area under the basket is too large, and he sent three big blocks in the halftime."

"I didn't have a low attack on the offensive end, and then I was blown up in the low post on the defensive end. UConn has no chance to win."

Barkley, who was sitting together, shook his head and said, "Congratulations, China is going to have a No. [-] pick."

In this final, Duke University successfully won and won the 99 NCAA Men's Basketball Championship.

At the same time, Dayao won the MOP award.

The next day, Feilong Sports presented Dayao with a signature sneaker contract that had been prepared long ago, worth $7 million in seven years.

At the same time, Yao Ming officially announced that he would participate in the 1999 NBA draft.

This news immediately excited all the NBA teams.

大姚在决赛中上场38分钟，轰下29分12篮板1助攻1抢断4盖帽1失误3犯规的数据，这样出色的表现，足以成为一支球队的建队核心。

"We're going to get him and hopefully we'll get the No. [-] lottery this year."

After getting the news of Dayao's candidacy, Jazz general manager Ham, who hadn't left New York, murmured: "Now we have to take action, we have to win Elton Brand, what if we don't get the No. [-] pick? "

Like him, the general managers of many bad teams have also started to act.

All of a sudden, many media in the United States began to praise Brand, thinking that he was the No. 99 pick in [-], boasting every advantage of him as rare in the sky and nothing on the ground.

Originally knowing that Dayao was running for the election, Brand, who was in a bad mood, suddenly soared and floated into the air, unable to sink anymore.

As for Dayao, under Zhao Dong's arrangement, he went to Houston, and Dayao would give him some guidance and training during the rest time.

"This is a rare opportunity. If you have learned the pace of Dameng, you will have a greater advantage in the low position under the basket. Remember, you must learn it. I can count on you to become a super center."

When sending Dayao away, Zhao Dong reminded him.

"Brother Dong, don't worry, I won't dare to embarrass you."

Bang bang bang, Dayao assured, patted his chest.

The time has entered the end of March, the regular season schedule has passed halfway, and the Knicks have completed 32 games.

In the next 35 days, there are still 18 games waiting for the Knicks. Although the schedule is not as cruel as March, it is still not easy, with as many as 5 back-to-back games.

4 month 1 number.

The Knicks didn't have a game, and No. [-] would play against the Cavaliers at home. Zhao Dong had time to sleep in, and he still hadn't woken up until ten o'clock.

At 10:30, he yawned and got up.

Zhao Dong managed to rest at home for a day. Lin Sai stayed with him at home instead of going to the company. When he saw him get up, he ran over mysteriously and said, "Honey, I have some good news for you."

"What's the good news, have you sold those subsidiaries that you plan to deceive people to Adi?" Zhao Dong asked curiously.

"whee……"

Lindsay laughed a few times and said, "I just had the test, and I have it."

"Have?"

Zhao Dong was stunned for a moment before realizing it after five seconds, and asked blankly, "Are you pregnant?"

"Honey, you don't like it?" Lindsay said with a serious face.

Zhao Dong quickly shook his head and said, "How is it possible, I just think you are still young, just turned [-], and it won't be too late for us to have another child in two years."

"whee……"

Lindsay kissed Zhao Dong and said with a smile: "Honey, I wish you a happy holiday!"

"Holiday...April Fool's Day?" Zhao Dong came to his senses.

"Ha ha……"

Lin Sai wanted to run, but was caught by Zhao Dong from behind, the two played around for a while, and then rolled the sheets.
