Chapter 142: Dayao

The next day, the team returned to New York.

The three of Oakley followed the team management and a large number of fans to the airport to greet the team, and the scene was very lively.

Zhao Dong's consecutive super performances in the playoffs have been wildly welcomed by the fans. His status in the hearts of New York Knicks fans has risen to the same level as Ewing.

And because Ewing rarely interacts with fans, unlike Zhao Dong, he interacts a lot with fans, so he is more popular with fans.

The Knicks swept the Magic and took the lead in becoming the first team in the league to advance to the second round. This news has also become the focus of today's media reports.

Zhao Dong hit a triple-double again, and it was a triple-double of 40+. The series averaged a triple-double, which became the focus of media reports.

"Flying Dragon: The best rookie in the NBA playoffs in 18 years. At this point, he has even surpassed Michael Jordan." New York Sports News.

But at the same time, the sports newspaper also adopted the press release of the team reporter Thomas, and mentioned in the report: "According to Feilong's own admission, he believes that the Knicks will win the championship by defeating the Bulls, and he will win the Finals FMVP."

"This bastard, I won't talk to him anymore."

After Zhao Dong read this news from the newspaper, he couldn't help but yell at Thomas as a bastard.

After the first round, the New York media began to hype the second round.

Now that the Heat have a 2-0 lead over the Hornets, it is very likely that after the Knicks, they will sweep their opponents into the second round. The Knicks' opponents in the second round will almost certainly be the Heat.

The media began to analyze the situation of the two teams, who is likely to reach the Eastern Conference Finals.

After a pass analysis, most media believe that the Knicks are more dominant.

However, the second round is a seven-game four-win system, and the Heat are also a strong team in the East. The media believes that it will ultimately depend on performance.

At the same time, several hot-tempered Knicks players are also time bombs. If they are irritated by the Heat's small actions, it is likely to trigger unpredictable changes like magic.

Zhao Dong ignored all this, and returned to the hotel room after dinner. He turned on the TV and prepared to watch the Bulls' game.

The Bulls also lead the Bullets 2-0. Tonight is the G3 game, and the sweep is imminent.

He turned on the system first,

The rewards for the series have not been claimed yet.

"Congratulations, the host led the team to victory in the first round of the series, and randomly obtained rewards of 5 quality points and 5 skill points. Inix swept the opponents in the first round, and the rewards were doubled. The host finally obtained 10 quality points and 10 skill points. A skill point reward."

"It's cool, this reward is no different from a first-class skill." Zhao Dong happily began to plan how to improve it.

After browsing through his profile, he first increased his flexibility and balance by one level, both reaching level 85.

"Based on my stature, this level is almost the same."

Next, he is going to go all out to improve his speed and strength, and he has temporarily let go of these two qualities. Anyway, at such a high level, he can no longer be restricted.

With 8 quality points left, he used one point to increase his speed, so that his speed reached level 90, entering the first-class level.

There are 7 more, he opened the strength column, the upper body is 85, the lower body is 83, and the core strength is 87. He raised the core strength to 90, and then the remaining 4 all improved the lower body strength to 87, so that the overall strength improved At level 87↑, level 88 is not full.

The improvement of lower body strength can make him more impactful, the first step is faster when he breaks through, and the improvement of core strength will have a wider effect and stronger control over the body.

Next, to improve skills, 10 skill points, he first used two skill points to improve ball control from level 88 to level 90, reaching a first-class level.

"System, 90-level ball control, is there any limit to Chris Paul's breakthrough skills with the ball?" He asked immediately.

"There are restrictions." The system said.

Zhao Dong was not disappointed. On the contrary, he was quite happy. The higher Paul's skill level, the better.

Next, he continued to improve his ball-handling skills, increasing his skills by one level every two skill points. He spent all the remaining eight skill points. When he reached level 94, the system finally indicated that there was no limit. He immediately chose to cover Paul's technology.

"Overwrite completed."

"Cover effect: Level 94 ball holding breakthrough skill."

Host: Zhao Dong

physical fitness:

Physical fitness 95, injury resistance 90, jumping 97, coordination 96, balance 85, flexibility 85, strength 87↑, speed 90

Technical grade:

1. Basic skills: shooting 93, passing and receiving 85, ball control 94

2. Offense: 95 emergency stop jumpers, 95 turnaround jumpers, 94 ball-handling breakthroughs, 94 pull-ups, 90 step-back jumpers, and 90 low-post singles

Spot-up jumper 76, small hook 76, small drop 76, straight-arm jumper 70, board jumper 60, turnaround jumper 50, turnaround jumper 55, air cut 83, running position 75

Three, defense

95 outside defense, 90 inside defense, 99 rebounds, 91 blocks, 90 steals

Four, Organization 99

Gold medal skills: 90 low singles, 95 emergency stop jumpers, 95 turnaround jumpers

In terms of offensive skills, six of them have reached the first-class level, including three gold medal skills. His current offensive ability should be very fierce.

He hasn't used the gold medal skill of turning around and jumping since he got it. It's a bit hidden, in order to deal with the Heat and the Bulls, of course mainly the Bulls.

At this time, the Bulls' G3 battle began.

With the strength of the Bullets, the Bulls did not need to give full play, and easily completed the sweep and reached the second round.

Jordan made 14 of 24 shots and scored 28 points, with a shooting percentage of 58%.

Also because the Bullets are too weak, he made jump shots from the outside all the way and rarely broke through. Not only did he not make a free throw, he made 0 of 5 three-pointers.

"This guy is so crazy that he doesn't even bother to make a breakthrough. If it's not a three-point shot, if all the shots are mid-range, the mid-range shooting percentage should reach 70%."

From these statistics, Zhao Dong saw how terrible Jordan was in the playoffs.

70% of the mid-range shots, unless it is open, is impossible for him now, single defense up to 60%, double-team up to 50%, encountering a strong outside defense, 50% may not be there.

This is still the special effect of the gold medal skill, it is very effective to get rid of the defender, otherwise the hit rate will be lower.

On this day, the league announced a batch of individual honors.

Jordan averaged 29.6 points per game and won the scoring title.

Rodman averaged 16.1 rebounds per game and won the rebounding title.

Mark Jackson averaged 11.4 assists per game and won the assist title.

Mucci Blaylock averaged 2.7 steals per game and won the steals title.

Sean Bradley averaged 3.4 blocks per game and won the block leader.

At the same time, the league announced the winner of the DPOY, Mutombo.

"Wow, his defensive statistics are not as good as mine, is this frankly discrimination?" Zhao Dong expressed some dissatisfaction.

However, DPOY is not simply comparing a few defensive data, but defensive efficiency. He can't compare with Mu Tongbo, so he doesn't have too much dissatisfaction.

In the afternoon of the next day, Zhao Dong asked Ai Weier Lindsay to have dinner, which was regarded as fulfilling the bet.

He often talks with Lindsay on the phone these days, and the two get to know each other very quickly, just like reuniting with old friends. There are many topics to talk about, such as sports and fashion, investment, food, etc., sometimes until very late.

But he found that Lindsay had some taboo topics, that is, family, childhood, etc. Occasionally when he said these, she would fall into silence and would not hang up on him, but would ignore him.

He went to pick up Lindsay, and when he arrived at the place, he found that this girl lived in a thousand-square-meter high-rise mansion worth tens of millions of dollars.

But it's nothing. After seeing Lindsay's supercar last time, he was already mentally prepared.

In addition, he also saw some interior items with family logos. Although he didn't recognize these logos, ordinary people didn't have such things.

"Avril, now the media speculates which country you are the princess of, tell me honestly, you can't tell the truth, can you?"

"I'm European, but I'm not a princess. Besides, my identity is no different from ordinary people, just ordinary people. Feilong, do you understand what I mean?"

When mentioning his own background, Lindsay's eyes revealed an unconcealable loneliness, and there was even a kind of sarcasm in his eyes.

She walked to Zhao Dong's side, and suddenly took the initiative to take the latter's arm, and said with a smile: "I'm fine, can I go?"

Looking at Lindsay's hand, Zhao Dong was startled.

"You are the first man I dated, and I have never held the arms of any man, including my father." Lin Said.

"It's a great honor." Zhao Dong said in a daze.

"But it doesn't mean anything else, it's just that I never socialized like that," Lindsay explained.

Zhao Dong nodded. From this sentence, it can be known that Lindsay's social circle is very closed, or there is no one at all.

"What you meant just now is that you don't have to worry about your identity, we are friends. So, can I chase you?" He laughed.

"Would you? I mean the formal one, not the one you used to play for fun." Lindsay looked at Zhao Dong seriously and said.

"Oh, it's quite difficult. I'm an atheist, and I don't want to change this easily. Our three views are wrong." Zhao Dong was startled, thought for a while and said.

"That's a pity, it seems that I'm not attractive enough to you." Lindsay immediately looked away.

"It's not that you're not attractive enough, but that I'm still determined." Zhao Dong laughed.

"Do you want me to chase you?" Lindsay looked at Zhao Dong again and asked suddenly.

"Oh, will you?" Zhao Dong asked in surprise.

"Of course not, you said, our three views are wrong." Lindsay smiled triumphantly.

"Okay, let's just be ordinary friends." Zhao Dong smiled helplessly.

"OK."

...

The two went to a high-end restaurant, but they were not photographed by the media.

The media has been looking for Lindsay's information these days, but apart from finding that she is a student at Columbia University, they have not found anything of value.

In the next two days, the Eastern and Western second-round teams came out one after another.

In the East, the Knicks vs. the Heat, and the Bulls vs. the Eagles.

West, Jazz vs. Lakers, Mosaic vs. Sonics.

In the past few days, the domestic basketball office's calls to outsiders have exploded, and many fans are even blocking the gates of the relevant units, all of which are voices demanding Zhao Dong be recruited.

Liu Yumin seized the opportunity and constantly responded to the fans' voices to his superiors.

Now the basketball department has begun to set up a basketball management center, but she has been marginalized, but she still has the name of the director and has no real power.

Even, she couldn't get involved in the work related to the CBA league that she created by herself, and all of them were taken over by Xin Nancheng's group of young and middle-aged people.

However, the person in charge of the Sports Commission is still carrying it, and has not responded to the fans' voices, so she can only continue to wait for the opportunity.

These two days are free, and Zhao Dong is also thinking about Zhang Mingji's matter, that is, Yao Min's coming to the NCAA, and Zhang Mingji has been waiting for his call.

In his opinion, if Yao Ming can play in the NCAA for a few years, it should be better than playing in the CBA, and the connection with the NBA will be faster and smoother.

Right now at Dayao's house in Shanghai, eating breakfast, Zhang Mingji is also chatting while eating.

"Flying Dragon is so strong that he actually averaged a triple-double per game. If I hit a triple-double one day, I will be happy for a year." Dayao said.

"Xiao Zhang, do you think we're going to call?" Yao's mother asked.

Zhang Mingji nodded, and said: "After the first round, Feilong has time, I'll fight it later."

"It's just a little presumptuous, and if you don't know him, you can find someone." Yao's father laughed.

"Isn't this for Dayao?" Yao's mother said.

"Feilong's family is very kind. When talking with Feilong on the phone, he is also nice and enthusiastic. No problem." Zhang Mingji laughed.

The three of them were chatting when Zhang Mingji's cell phone rang. When he saw it was Zhao Dong's call, he quickly connected it.

"Flying dragon? Hello, I'm Zhang Mingji."

"Oh, Mr. Zhang, I am, where are you now?" Zhao Dong asked.

"I'm in Shanghai, at Dayao's house." Zhang Mingji said.

"Okay then, let's talk."

"well."

"Mom, you take it."

Looking at the mobile phone in Zhang Mingji's hand, the immature Yao Min will be a little nervous. After all, the person on the other side of the phone is Zhao Dong, who is now recognized as the strongest basketball player in China. A triple-double strongman, he may not be able to hit a triple-double in his life.

"What are you panicking about? Calm down." Mom Yao said something before picking up the phone.

"Hello, Mr. Zhao Dong?" she asked.

"Oh, I'm Zhao Dong, and you are Dayao's mother?"

"Yes, yes, I am Dayao's mother, and my surname is Fang."

"Then I'll call you Aunt Fang. You can just call me by my name. You're welcome. By the way, do you have any questions?"

"Okay, Zhao Dong, thank you very much! That's it, Xiao Zhang, he wants Dayao to play in the NCAA in the United States, and we don't know the situation there. Xiao Zhang is also a newcomer, and he has nothing to do in the American basketball world. I have connections, so I want to get to know you."

"That's no problem, just ask whatever you want."

The two sides chatted for about 20 minutes, mainly Zhao Dong introduced the situation of the NCAA and the situation of the NBA.

"Aunt Fang, if Dayao wants to play in the NCAA, try to join a famous sports school that can participate in March Madness. You are like me. If I entered a famous sports school, I could get a second-round pick in last year's draft.

Of course, if you have problems with the way, I can ask someone to help..."

Finally, Zhao Dong said: "For example, my manager has a good network. I can ask him to help me, recommend it to relevant universities, and get some invitations. It's all right."

"Oh, Zhao Dong, thank you so much!" Mom Yao said happily.

Zhang Mingji, Dad Yao, and Dayao also laughed when they heard this.

"You're welcome, of course I'm very happy to have a seedling in China." Zhao Dong laughed.

After finishing the phone call, Dayao's family and Zhang Mingji discussed again excitedly.

"Xiao Zhang, what university are you planning to contact?" Yao's mother asked.

Zhang Mingji hurriedly said: "I am going to contact the University of Wisconsin, which is also my alma mater. It is also very strong in sports, but I may not be sure. In addition, I also contacted the University of Chicago, where I obtained a degree. But the Feilong side It may be safer, he is now a superstar in the league, and the school should attach great importance to the people recommended by him and his agent."

"Now I'm worried about the Eastern Shark, things may not go well." Papa Yao sighed.

Yao's mother sighed and said, "For Dayao, there's nothing I can do. I don't know how much the compensation here is. If Dayao goes to the United States, it would be great if he can get a scholarship, and the burden will be smaller."
