Chapter 396 The super center left again, and the Spurs completely collapsed
Xiao Ao's kid is also honest, he was limped by being fooled.

Of course his manager, Mason, is not so easy to be fooled, but he has his own considerations, because he wants to rely on Xiao Ao to catch Zhao Dong's line.

Looking at the Knicks players who played with Zhao Dong, all of them have made a fortune in investment. If Xiao Ao develops in the future, he will also have sweetness, so he has been persuading Xiao Ao to wait for a while before deciding where to go.

As a reborn person, Zhao Dong still knew something about O'Neill. He was a guy with psychological problems but full of talent.

If you play well, you are a superstar; if you do not play well, you are an ordinary main player.

In other words, no matter how O'Neal plays, he is still at the level of a main player.

After four years of tempering, as long as the current Xiao Ao is given a chance, he should be able to shine, and he must not let him go.

Then Bunch Wells, barely playing the main force, is good as a substitute, a typical bench gangster.

He asked Westester to keep these two players, especially O'Neill.

"Mr. West, Jermaine is my pick of the same year. I know him well. He has great potential. We can consider him as our main power forward next season."

"The main power forward?" Westester was surprised.

According to his thinking, even if Xiao Ao was kept, he would be a substitute, but he never thought that Zhao Dong would be so optimistic about Xiao Ao.

"Flying Dragon, we have Bryan Grant at the power forward position."

He was afraid that Zhao Dong would not know the Blazers' lineup, so he immediately explained: "Bryan had some injuries last season, so the statistics were not very good, but now he has recovered.

他才28岁，我相信他的表现能恢复到巅峰时期。98/99赛季他打出了11.5分9.8篮板的数据，表现还是不错的。”

Zhao Dong said directly: "Mr. Wester, with such a performance, he can only play as a substitute."

"What?" Wester froze.

But he quickly realized that the person talking to him was the god of basketball, the No. 1 player in history, the one who won four championships in a row when he just entered the league. Of course, such a person has higher vision and demands on his teammates than him.

Zhao Dong continued: "In addition to our main force, the bench also needs thickness, and Grant and Bunch Wells can become important substitutes for our bench.

But the main power forward, we need stronger people, Jermaine O'Neal can play such a role, please believe me. "

"OK, Feilong, I will do as you say."

After thinking about it for a while, Wester agreed decisively.

He thought that Zhao Dong had recommended several good players for the Knicks, and he was well-known in the league for his eye for people.

At the same time, owner Paul Allen also explained that to give Feilong full respect, including lineup construction, Zhao Dong's suggestion must be considered, because the future Blazers will be a team with Zhao Dong as the absolute core.

Zhao Dong thought about it for a while. The starting point guard is Flying Squirrel, shooting guard Smith, Marion at small forward, power forward Jermaine Jr., and he plays the main center?
The back line is a little weaker and can continue to trade.

If you can find a good main center forward, you can also play as a guard yourself. Anyway, you are all-round. If you find a main-level player in any position, you can complete the construction of the main lineup.

He said what he meant, and of course he would not intervene in the specific transaction. Westert said that a reinforcement transaction would be carried out soon.

This reinforcement is relatively easy, because Zhao Dong is too versatile, so the location of the reinforcement does not need to be fixed.

In addition, he didn't quite understand Marion as the main small forward. Marion's rookie performance in the playoffs was not good, but Zhao Dong made this request, and he could only agree.

In addition, Zhao Dong asked him to sign for Fortson, which was given up by the Knicks. It was easy to sign, and he agreed.

Although Fortson was injured, he still provided the Knicks with rebounding and inside defensive energy in the finals. His performance was not bad, but the Knicks were unwilling to offer him a big contract, so they had to let him go.

Signing Fortson can increase the depth of the bench even if he does not play the main force.

With Zhao Dong joining the Blazers, the media also began to evaluate the strength of the Blazers.

"Even if the Blazers only have the Dragon, it is still a team with championship strength." Portland Sports News.

The local media in Portland began to build momentum for the team, so as to attract other players to join the Trail Blazers.

Many stars commented on the Blazers, such as commentator Barkley, who said: "No matter which team the Flying Dragons are in, that team will be the most powerful contender for the championship."

Compared with Barkley and Portland, Jordan's comments are more convincing. He said: "The Blazers must speed up their reinforcements. As long as the Flying Dragons are equipped with a lineup of role players, he can take them with ease. Get into the playoffs.

But if the Dragons still want to win the championship, the Blazers must introduce one or two stars, especially inside stars. "

The most influential New York media did not comment on the Blazers and Zhao Dong, and now they only do one thing, and that is to shoot at the Knicks with all their strength.

With the finalization of Zhao Dong's trade, Duncan also began to choose the next team for his future.

The Lakers, Magic, and Nets are the focus of his consideration. The reason why he decided to go after Zhao Dong's trade is because he doesn't want to be in the same league with Zhao Dong. Now that Zhao Dong is in the West, he will go to the East and the Lakers will be excluded.

Both the Magic and the Nets expressed great sincerity to him, and the contracts they offered were good, far surpassing the Spurs.

But the Magic's lineup is too poor, and the Nets have China Yao, who is at the peak of his debut, as well as top guard Marbury on the outside.

According to the Tushen lineup, the inside line is strong enough and can be opened to allow the outside line to break through, increase the proportion of the outside line's offense at the basket, and improve the overall efficiency.

But if you don't have enough outside ability, that won't work, just like the current Spurs, without a good guard, you can't beat the Lakers.

The Nets, with Marbury on the outside and China's Yao on the inside, plus him, are in line with the team building theory of the Tushen lineup.

Therefore, he chose the Nets.

The Nets gave Duncan a five-year contract of 5 million yuan. The Spurs were too poor to match. Duncan went to the Nets as a free agent.

Duncan's announcement of joining the Nets shocked countless Spurs fans. They ran to the team headquarters and began to abuse the management. The stingy boss and general manager Popovich were the first to bear the brunt of the scolding. At the same time, many fans began to burn traitors. Duncan's jersey.

"Wow, didn't you go to the Magic and went to the Nets?"

Zhao Dong was a little confused, Dayao + Duncan, what kind of combination is this?
The strength of this combination definitely surpasses the Spurs Twin Towers of last season!
O'Neill had to admit defeat when he encountered this combination.

Duncan + Dayao + Marbury, it seems that the Nets are going to invest a lot and start to hit the championship.

"Dayao, next year the East will see you, get rid of the email group." Zhao Dong immediately called Dayao.

"Really?"

Dayao was at a loss, he hadn't received any news yet, after Zhao Dong told him, he was overjoyed.

Being able to join forces with Duncan, next season he is confident that he will beat the email combination and reach the Eastern Conference Finals.

With Duncan traveling east, the situation in the east and west of the league has become a little subtle.

The Eastern Conference had the Bulls in the front and the Knicks in the back. In the past few years, the overall strength was strong in the east and weak in the west.

But with the rise of the Spurs and Lakers in the last two seasons, the West has gradually become equal to the East.

But now Zhao Dongxiu, Duncan Dongyou, the Knicks and Spurs will collapse, the Blazers and Nets will rise, and the East and West will present a balanced situation.

"The new season will be the Final Four, from which the championship will emerge."

ESPN gave a professional evaluation. They listed the Eastern Nets and Digital Team and the Western Lakers and Trail Blazers as the league's top four in the new season.

This assessment has won the approval of most people.

A few people think that even if the Trail Blazers have Zhao Dong, but the lineup is seriously lacking, if they can't strengthen it, they don't have the qualifications and strength to compete for the championship.

In Hawaii, David Robinson, who is on vacation, is very desperate. Duncan, whom he favored and strongly supported, actually ran away. What about his championship dream?By whom?

Although the Spurs signed and traded and got Van Horn from the Nets, is that material that can help him win the championship?

Among the four super centers, Dameng won two championships by himself, and Ewing won one by Zhao Dong, leaving him and O'Neal.

And O'Neal is still young, but he is old, he can't wait, he doesn't want to retire with regrets, he doesn't even want to lie on the bed like Ewing and rub a ring, he wants to win the championship as the main player.

But the current Spurs really can't let him realize this wish.

He thought painfully for two days and two nights, and finally called Popovich.

"David, are you trying to kill me?"

When Robinson called, Popovich went crazy because Robinson told him that he was leaving the Spurs and was not going to renew his contract.

"Greg, the Spurs are my home team. I very much hope to end my career in the Spurs. But, I want a championship. I don't have a few years to play. I'm old, so you can help me."

Robinson said pitifully.

"you?"

Popovich gasped.

Robinson's contract with the Spurs has ended, and he wants to leave, even the king of heaven and I can't keep him.

Bang, Popovich smashed the microphone.

He's really going crazy. If you want to leave, leave early. In order to renew your contract, I let Duncan go. Now you want to leave, aren't you kidding me?
The announcement of David Robinson's departure from the Spurs shocked Spurs fans again and gave them a second blow.

As the home team of the Admiral, the Spurs have prepared a big contract for the aging Robinson, with an annual salary of up to $500 million and a total of $500 million in three years. This is the biggest contract in his entire career. With a contract, the Spurs are actually worthy of him.

He is 35 years old, and his state has been declining in the first two seasons. He can no longer play 20+10 performances. It can be said that he is at the end of his career.

At this time, he rejected the biggest contract in his career, gave up the persistence of defending one city and left his home team. Everyone understood why he left.

Therefore, the Spurs fans' departure of Robinson may have been stimulated by Duncan, but their performance was not very intense.

Some Robinson fans even sent their blessings, hoping that the general can win the championship in other teams.

David Robinson played 80 games in the regular season last season, averaging 32 minutes, 17.8 points and 9.6 rebounds per game. His strength has declined, but he still has the strength of a first-class center, so he entered the free market and immediately attracted the pursuit of many teams.

Among them, the Trail Blazers who just got Zhao Dong lacked a main center and were the most enthusiastic about Robinson. After the general manager got the news that Robinson had left the Spurs, he immediately publicly expressed his expectation for him to join the Trail Blazers.

David Robinson left the Spurs for the championship, so he will only join the team that has a chance to win the championship.

Whether it's the Lakers, the Nets, or the digital team, no matter how strong they are, Zhao Dong's team is one of the most powerful teams in the championship.

Although the lineup of the Blazers is not complete now, just like the professional sports media ESPN, they still list the Blazers as one of the top four in the league. Who dares to underestimate the Blazers?
So he immediately began to consider the possibility of joining the Trail Blazers and evaluated the Trail Blazers lineup very seriously.

"David, the Trail Blazers' contract is $500 million for two years, do you want to go?"

Subsequently, the general manager of the Blazers called Austin, Robinson's agent, and Austin immediately told Robinson.

Compared with the Spurs' three-year contract, the Blazers' contract is lower, but he is very clear about Robinson's desire to win the championship.

"Flying dragon?"

Robinson took a deep breath and said, "I'll think about it again."

Austin said: "Their main center has gone to the Knicks. If you go, it must be the main center, which is exactly what you want."

Afterwards, the two began to discuss the Blazers' lineup and how likely they are to win the championship.

Let's analyze it, analyze it, if Zhao Dong plays small forward, then the power forward will lack a main force, and the back line is not very good.

With such a lineup, if he meets the Lakers, the back line will be overwhelmed, and if he doesn't have a good power forward to help him inside, he won't be able to handle the Sharks.

In other words, if he joins the Blazers, the Blazers don't have much reinforcement. Both of them think that such a lineup can't beat the Lakers.

In this way, the West will not be able to make it out, let alone the championship?
Robinson was disappointed and asked, "Have any calls from those three teams?"

Austin shook his head and said, "Not yet. They all have insiders, and their salary space has already exploded. I'm afraid you can't even give the Blazers this contract. You can't sign veteran Jiang, right?"

"Basic salary?"

David Robinson smiled wryly.

He has played for 11 seasons, and he has only received an annual salary of tens of millions for two seasons. The total salary of his career is 7000 million US dollars. The contract is still very important to him. Is it really necessary to get a basic salary for the championship now?

"Why don't you wait and see if the Lakers Nets digital team will contact me, maybe in a few days, I will take the initiative to contact them?" Austin said.

David Robinson nodded, that's all he could do, his expression looked a little heavy.

Austin understands that before Duncan made a decision, Robinson repeatedly persuaded him to stay, but it is a pity that Duncan still decided to leave. Robinson hoped to complete his career with his home team, and this time he left for the championship. , is really a last resort.

In fact, at this time, the Lakers are also considering whether to contact David Robinson.

The management such as Jerry West has decided to trade Daben, reinforce the lineup according to the best lineup, and find a power forward with both offense and defense.

They focused on Rasheed Wallace, just as Rasheed Wallace was competing with McGrady in the Bulls, but they couldn't compete. The Bulls are more optimistic about McGrady. This is a good opportunity for them to trade Rasheed.

But the Bulls also intend to win the championship. Of course, they are also affected by the Tushen lineup. They don't want Big Ben. They still want to resolve the conflict between Rasheed and McGrady and keep Rasheed.

So the Lakers deal didn't work out, and now David Robinson leaves the Spurs, giving them a chance.

Although David Robinson is a center, he can be pulled out, and his ability to pull out is much stronger than O'Neal. It is in line with the construction theory of the Tushen lineup and can cooperate with O'Neal.As long as you have two super centers, you can play twin tower tactics.

At the same time, the Nets created a twin-tower combination of China's Yao + Duncan, which put a lot of pressure on the Lakers. Once they meet the Nets in the finals, the combination of O'Neal and Ben should be unbeatable.

West and Phil Jackson discussed repeatedly all night. Jackson proposed his tactical concept, which is to use O'Neal's side as the strong side and play triangle tactics. David Robinson pulls to the weak side and pulls the opponent's inside. Create opportunities for singles. If O'Neal is double-teamed, then distribute the ball to David Robinson.

This combination of triangle tactics and twin-tower tactics will provide the Lakers with a strong opening ability and a strong ability to cooperate with the strong and weak sides. The height of the twin towers can also provide a strong ability to distribute the ball when double-teamed It can completely tear through the opponent's tight defense.

However, Robinson's contract is a problem. As a veteran super center, he doesn't have an annual salary of tens of millions. Can he get it?With the current revenue of the Lakers, it will be quite difficult to sign another tens of millions of big contracts.

But it must be tried, and West contacted Austin at nine o'clock in the morning.

Austin was very happy to receive a call from the Lakers.

After the two simply greeted each other, they immediately got to the point.
