Chapter 231 The Law of Flying Dragon

On the 2nd, Zhao Dong shot an endorsement advertisement for Hummer.

In addition to his solo ads, there are also co-produced ads. The heroine Hummer found for him is said to be the most famous female star in Hollywood.

However, he was not interested in any female stars. Except for Audrey Hepburn, he had never seen any female star more beautiful and elegant than Lindsay, so he did not ask who the heroine was.

When he arrived at the filming location, he discovered that the heroine was Sharon Stone.

"How about it, Iron Man, are you satisfied with your heroine?"

Rock Wallace, the president of Hummer, personally accompanied the filming and said confidently when introducing Sharon Stone.

"Feilong, I am your fan, and I am very honored to be your heroine." Sharon Stone extended her hand gracefully, with a sexy smile on her face.

In terms of fame, Sharon Stone is indeed at her hottest right now. In 1995, she won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress for Casino and was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress. She has been very popular in Hollywood in the past two years.

But how could Zhao Dong accept such a heroine?

"Sorry, ma'am, I'm in an emergency."

He nodded towards the "heroine", without shaking hands, but said to Locke Wallace: "Mr. President, I have a question that needs to be discussed."

Looking at Zhao Dong and Locke Wallace leaving, Sharon Stone was stunned. She retracted her outstretched hand in embarrassment, and then said angrily: "How could he do this? It's so rude, the Chinese are all Isn’t that rude?”

There were staff and many media around, including reporters from the New York Times.

These people, except for her agent, had a simple reaction to what had just happened. They all shrugged and didn't care.

This is how it is in Vanity Fair. There are clear hierarchies and people have higher status. So what if they ignore you? So what if I humiliate you? Even if I want to eat you, you still have to wash yourself and deliver it to your door, and remember to spray it with your favorite perfume.

The difference is so big. For a first-line actress like Sharon Stone to be on the front page of the New York Times, it is extremely difficult. But as for Zhao Dong, she stays there every day. This is the difference in influence. .

In terms of influence, sports superstar Zhao Dong can crush A-list actresses like Sharon Stone.

"Sharon, be careful. Don't do this. Be careful what you say. If he hears you and accuses you of racism, with his influence in the world, you will be finished."

Even her agent Karen Sellars, a former Hollywood actress, showed little anger but continued to persuade.

Sharon Stone's expression changed, she looked at the people around her, and when she saw the New York Times reporter looking at her excitedly, she quickly shut her mouth.

She could guarantee that, if no one else said anything, the New York Times reporter and other media reporters would definitely expose what she just said, so her mood was extremely bad for a while, and her face became extremely ugly.

"Karen, please help me and explain to Iron Man that I didn't mean that." She could only hold her agent's hand and beg.

Karen Sellars looked embarrassed;

Who is she?

Otherwise, she took a look at Sharon Stone, this body that has seduced countless movie fans, would Fei Long be interested? I hope he's interested, otherwise it's over.

"If he has any special request, do you want me to agree to it for you?" She pulled Sharon Stone aside and whispered.

"I understand, just agree."

Sharon Stone had no intention of refusing, and she seemed a little happy.

"Also, Sharon, go ask Director Scorsese, maybe he can help." Karen Sellars reminded.

"Hey, yes."

Sharon Stone nodded and quickly walked towards director Martin Scorsese who was not far away.

This director is the director of Casino, a very famous director in Hollywood, one of the top ten directors in Hollywood. This time Hummer spent a lot of money to hire him for the quality of the advertisement.

"You don't like her?"

Hearing Zhao Dong say that he didn't like Sharon Stone as the heroine, Locke Wallace was startled, but it was not surprising and he immediately said:

"Then who do you like? As long as they are Hollywood female stars, it doesn't matter who they are. As long as you like them, you can do whatever you want to them, including Sharon Stone. We can handle everything."

"I actually don't have any other requirements for the heroine. You can provide a few and I will choose one." Zhao Dong said with a smile.

"ok."

Locke Wallace nodded and immediately said to the assistant John beside him: "Go and ask the director to come over."

As soon as Sharon Stone came to Martin Scorsese, she was interrupted by her assistant John before she said a few words.

Scorsese nodded apologetically to Sharon Long and followed.

He can't help Sharon Stone. If what the woman said just now reaches Feilong's ears and Feilong wants to care about it, with his current influence in the world, no one can save this loud-mouthed woman. There will be big film companies looking for this woman to film, and even her agency will give up on her.

In fact, he himself was interested. He wanted to find a film company to partner with him to buy the rights to the Feilong shooting case and make a real-life Iron Man movie. There was no way he would offend Feilong because of this woman.

"Mr. Wallace, Wyvern."

"Hello, director."

Scorsese came here and after greeting him, Wallace asked him to provide Zhao Dong with several A-list Hollywood actresses. This was too easy for him.

"These are all good. I haven't heard of any racial discrimination. They can accept any of your conditions. You can do whatever you want during the filming."

Considering Zhao Dong's reputation as a playboy, he also gave a special reminder.

"Is there any hidden rule?"

Zhao Dong smiled and chose Big Mouth. Although he was ten years older than him, he was just filming an advertisement.

"Get her right away, all conditions."

Locke Wallace said to his assistant John, then pointed to Sharon Stone, who was looking over here from a distance, and said: "That other woman, let her leave."

"ok."

John nodded and left immediately.

Two minutes later, the New York Times reporter found Zhao Dong and told him what Sharon Stone said, on the condition that Zhao Dong accepted an interview with him on this matter.

In the last life, Sharon Stone said such cold-blooded words after the Wenchuan earthquake. Although she apologized through her agent afterwards, she was not forgiven by the Chinese and was even refused entry to China.

In this life, although she has not had the chance to say those words, Zhao Dong has no affection for her at all, and he can be sure that this woman will not change.

"Ms. Sharon Stone has very obvious racist thoughts. This kind of person makes me sick." He immediately told this reporter.

He only said this sentence, because the woman only said one sentence, and he only said one sentence in return.

But this sentence was placed on the front page of the New York Times on the morning of the 3rd, and within a day, the whole world knew about it.

"I am done!"

Looking at the Times in her hand, Sharon Stone murmured desperately.

The agent Karen Sellars who followed her also shook her head in disappointment.

Zhao Dong's commercial was finally shot on the afternoon of the 3rd.

Zhao Dong did not touch Big Mouth. Lindsay believed him and never asked him about his affairs outside. He would definitely not mess around.

In the evening, he finished shooting the commercial and when he returned home, he saw Mrs. Dorisa.

"Feilong, I asked my wife to use some connections to form a powerful legal team for you to sue that Manley." Lindsay smiled.

"I want to teach some thoughtful people a lesson. You are not something they can mess with. They can deal with you, but they can only use formal methods and cannot use shady means."

Lady Dorisa said seriously.

"Thank you, Mrs. Dorisa." Zhao Dong said quickly.

Mrs. Dorisa added: "What you have to face this time is not only people like Manley, they are just puppets launched by big brands such as Adidas, Nike, Puma, and Reebok, so this lawsuit is very complicated." Importantly, we must win beautifully.

Only by winning the lawsuit can you make those people ignore your skin color and not dare to suppress you and your career unscrupulously. Only when you win your case can you truly get justice. "

Zhao Dong nodded heavily and expressed his gratitude again.

Although he is a reborn person, he does not have any advantage in this regard, and he cannot see clearly as much as Madam Dorisa.

On the night of the 3rd, the Houston Mosaic team and the Jazz started a G5 battle. It was also a match point battle between the two teams. Whoever wins will advance to the second round.

Unfortunately, Barkley continued to suffer physical injuries this season, missing 14 games and starting only 41 games.

He had a performance of 15+11 in the regular season, which was okay, but in the playoffs, his body could no longer hold on. From the beginning of the G1 game, he could only play as a substitute, averaging 9+5 per game. Can't provide more energy to the team.

In this crucial G5 game, he was too injured to play and could only sit on the bench wearing a suit.

In the end, the Jazz eliminated Mosaic again after last season with a big score of 3 to 2.

When the whistle sounded, Barkley, who was sitting on the bench, covered his face and shed tears. His career was coming to an end and his hopes of winning the championship were basically gone.

His contract with Mosaic has also ended. Now he faces a choice: should he stay here and work hard for the championship with Dameng, or should he leave?

He left the scene somewhat dazed and bumped into general manager Carroll Dawson in the hallway.

"Charles, stay. Mr. Alexander hopes you stay. We will strengthen the lineup. Winning the championship is always our goal. I suggest you sign a veteran contract, so that we can free up a lot of space to sign for you. More and better helpers.”

Dawson said sincerely.

If Zhao Dong hears this sentence, he will only complain that the goal of Alexander's Mosaic team has never been to win the championship, but to sell tickets and peripherals.

All teams in the league have three goals for team building, one is to win the championship, the other is to sell more tickets, and the other is to take both into account. As for the Mosaic team in Alexander's hands, the goal of building the team is to sell tickets.

Alexander took over the Mosaic team in 1993. He was really lucky. He took over a championship-level team built by the previous owner. Just like James Dowland, he won the championship when he took over the Knicks. He did the same, and he happened to have another championship. When Jordan retired, he won two championships at once, but his goal in building the team was really to make money by selling tickets, not championships, until the Yao era.

I want to keep Barkley this time, but I also want to use Barkley's residual value and his influence to continue selling tickets.

"Sir, I'm sorry, I need time to think about it." Buckley said frustratedly.

"Okay, I will contact you again, go have a good vacation." Dawson patted Barkley and smiled.

"Vacation?"

Barkley feels this is an extremely harsh word, no different from fishing. What he hates most is that others are competing for the championship while he is fishing.

On May 3, all first-round series ended.

In the East, the Pacers face the Bulls and the Knicks face the Heat. The former has home court advantage.

In the West, the Jazz face the SuperSonics and the Lakers face the Spurs.

In the Eastern Conference season, the semifinals between the Pacers and the Bulls start on the 4th, while the Knicks and Heat start on the 5th.

In the West, the Lakers and Spurs are No. 4, and the Jazz and SuperSonics are No. 5.

The time is too short, and the relevant rules of the alliance have not yet been released, but they are already being promoted in full swing.

Stern's idea is to introduce the law before the 5th.

Between Zhao Dong and Jordan, his attitude will of course be biased towards Jordan because of Jordan's American identity.

But Zhao Dong is a rising star, the future of the league, and it is related to the global promotion plan, so in fact his attitude is that he does not support each other.

The introduction of the rules may be unfair to Feilong, but this is the general trend of the entire league, and Jordan enjoyed it back then, and Feilong will enjoy it too today.

As the saying goes, if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight, that's it.

On the morning of the 4th, the Knicks announced that they would hold a press conference with Zhao Dong at 6 pm tomorrow, but did not announce the content of the conference.

That night, the second round started, with two games taking place at the same time, one in the east and one in the west.

Zhao Dong alternated between looking at the two sides, mainly looking at the bull, because the bull was the focus of observation.

The Lakers and Spurs are also likely to reach the finals, which needs to be observed, but the current configuration of these two teams is still a little bit worse. If they want to reach the finals, it will be difficult unless something goes wrong with the Jazz.

Throughout the regular season, Jordan was still brave, averaging nearly 30 points per game, but Ewing has been saving his strength. Even in the first round series, he only averaged 20 minutes per game and did not take many shots.

Zhao Dong is sure that Ewing is not as good as last season, but he doesn't know what level he can play now, especially when he is at full strength.

In last year's Bulls, he locked up Pippen. Except for Jordan, no one else in the Bulls had the strength to stand up, but this season, Ewing is likely to stand up.

At the same time, Kidd will also make it easier for the Bulls, especially Jordan, to score.

At the same time, although Kidd is called to not attack, he still has a certain scoring ability.

To be honest, the probability of winning against this bull is only 50%, which means that winning or losing is normal.

Moreover, the league is likely to use the knife of rules before the Eastern Conference Finals, and it is even harder to say whether it will win or lose.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, the Bulls defeated the Pacers on the road and won the G1 game.

Jordan made 15 of 25 shots, a shooting percentage of 60%, including 0 of 1 three-pointers, 9 of 10 free throws, and scored 39 points.

Kidd made 6 of 15 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, and 4 of 5 free throws. He scored 17 points, 6 rebounds, 13 assists, 4 steals, 3 turnovers, and 2 fouls.

Ewing made 6 of 10 shots, 3 of 4 free throws, and scored 15 points. He only played 25 minutes and did not take many shots.

Zhao Dong focused on observing Ewing. It is certain that Ewing still has to stay focused and did not explode. Although he played 25 minutes, his playing time was very fragmented.

Moreover, under Kidd's organization, it is easier for Jordan and Ewing to score, and their efficiency has been significantly improved.

Especially Jordan, in conjunction with Kidd's passing, used a lot of cutting tactics without the ball. He made 11 cuts to the basket and scored 9 times. Kidd only used this tactic and scored 7 times. Assists, the success rate is very high.

Of course, the reason why this tactic is so successful is also related to the fact that the Pacers do not have a defensive gate inside. If they encounter the Knicks and the Bulls continue to play like this, they will definitely encounter a bloody blow.

In addition, in the West, the Lakers defeated the Spurs and won the G1 game.

In this season when the reasonable collision zone rules were implemented, O'Neal's scoring average increased by 2.1 points compared with last season, his shooting percentage was 2.7 percentage points, and his offensive efficiency was significantly improved.

However, this shark has strengthened its offense, but also weakened some of its defense. The overall offensive and defensive energy is the same.

On the 5th, at 10 o'clock in the morning, Neil Grant received an inside message from the league management, which made him a little angry.

He immediately notified all the management, the coaching staff, and Zhao Dong.

Nelson immediately summoned everyone, including the players, to hold a tactical meeting in the morning to prepare for the evening game.

In fact, he and the coaching staff have been preparing.

The news from the league management is that the league will soon introduce relevant rules to restrict Zhao Dong, just before the start of tonight's game.

Zhao Dong rushed to the headquarters at 11 o'clock and participated in the tactical meeting.

Everyone, including management, as well as owner James Dowland, arrived and the atmosphere was a bit tense.

In the tactical conference room, after everyone had arrived, Grant stood in front and said seriously: "What is certain is that the first rule, the anti-isolation singles rule, has been restarted and is just waiting to be announced."

"Feilong, congratulations, you have become Jordan's second player." Oakley, who was sitting next to Zhao Dong, turned around and smiled.

"No, I am the number one Feilong. I'm sure that the rules introduced this time are definitely different from Jordan's rules." Zhao Dong said with a smile.

When the two were talking, Grant did not speak anymore, but listened to Zhao Dong. He nodded and said: "Feilong, congratulations, you guessed it right. What we know now is that some articles have indeed been revised. This is already new. The anti-isolation singles law can no longer be called the Jordan Law, it should be called the Flying Dragon Law. Well, or the Iron Man Law."

"I feel pretty good." Zhao Dong smiled.

"Ha ha……"

There was laughter in the conference room, and the atmosphere became better.

At this moment, the door of the conference room was pushed open forcefully from the outside, and Grant's assistant hurriedly walked in with a stack of documents and said hurriedly: "Sir, the anti-isolation rules have been officially announced. This is a fax. document."

The atmosphere that had just relaxed suddenly became tense again, and the only sound left was Grant's sound of flipping through documents.

"What is going to come will eventually come. In fact, I have been looking forward to this day. I have always thought that I am also qualified to enjoy such rules. A super giant who cannot let the league modify the rules cannot become a historical super giant, let alone One of a kind."

Zhao Dong's voice sounded in the silent conference room.

"In fact, I have always believed that the law of anti-isolation is the law of kings. It is this law that established Jordan's status as the only one in the league. It was also under the restrictions of this law that Jordan created a dynasty and established his A unique and historic place in the league.”

Old Nelson suddenly smiled and said.

"Pa bang bang..."

Everyone in the conference room began to applaud, celebrating the birth of the new King's Law.

Grant put down the document and clapped along, then picked up the document and said cautiously: "Now let me introduce the new... provisions of the King's Law."

"There are a total of 138 rules and regulations. The first one is that the offensive team cannot have more than three people on the weak side, including the top of the key.

This is the same as before, that is, on the strong side, the ball side, there must be at least two people. "

"This article increases the speed of the defense's assisting defense, and at least ensures that the defensive side has a assisting defensive player who can quickly arrive and implement double-teaming."

Nelson then explained: "The ball holder will be double-teamed faster, and then multiple people will double-team faster."

Grant went on to explain the rest of the rule: "Rule 2, when the ball carrier is high above the free throw line, the offense cannot have more than two players sinking. This rule is the same as before."

Nelson added: "In addition to the ball holder, this rule limits the number of people on the offensive side who can cut inside and the number of people in the low post.

For example, if we put two low-post players, then this rule will prevent our perimeter players from cutting in. They must stay above the free throw line, which will subject the ball holder to tighter double-teaming. At the same time, our tactics will also be different. will be restricted.

In fact, the impact is very serious. We have no low-post offense inside. If Feilong passes the ball, it can only be passed to the outside. We can only attack outside, and the overall offensive efficiency will be greatly reduced.

And in this way, because our passing targets are only outside, the opponent's outside defense will be simpler.

The overall impact is that the space for movement on the outside is severely reduced, Feilong's passing is seriously affected, his number of forced shots in double teams will increase, and his assists will be significantly reduced. "

Ben and Danny Fortson are scratching their heads, feeling like their playing time will be affected. But who can replace them?

Old Nelson added: "Let's put it this way, the second one is mainly to limit Feilong's ability to attack and organize offense on the outside, forcing him to return to the low post. Although Feilong is strong in the low post, his dislocation advantage on the outside is greater.

If we continue to put Feilong at the third position, then Big Ben and Danny Fortson can only play one, and Oakley pulls out, giving an outsider a chance to cut inside. "

After a while of discussion, Grant continued to explain, until the end, it was the original provisions, or some modifications had been made.

When it came to the latter article, he said with a somewhat ugly expression: "Article 138, this is the first new rule and the highlight of this revision of the law.

When the ball holder breaks through the basket while facing the basket above the free throw line and the dotted line, facing a single defender, if the defender does not lose his position and the ball holder collides with the defender's cylinder with his body, causing the defender to lose his position, a penalty may be awarded. Offensive foul on the ball handler.

The alliance has introduced the concept of cylinder, everyone should pay attention to this in the future. "

"..."

Zhao Dong was startled, this was a clause that was really aimed at him.

When he breaks through to the basket on the outside, he often uses his tonnage and strength to knock away defenders and make crushing breakthroughs. Now that this method comes out, it won't work.

But this still cannot completely limit his outside breakthroughs. His movement speed is still dominant in the third position, as well as Paul's breakthroughs with the ball, and now Grant Hill's first step.

In fact, he doesn't need that kind of crushing breakthrough at all now. Even Jordan can break through Hill's first step, and the crushing breakthrough consumes more physical energy.

However, if the anti-isolation singles law is implemented for a long time in the future, what will LeBron James do? He was a little worried about Emperor James.

Old Nelson said at this time: "Feilong is a heavy small forward at the third position, and this provision deprives him of his heavy advantage, which has a serious impact.

I think this provision also continues to force Feilong to return to the low position and reduce his threat ability on the outside.

Feilong's height is limited. If he returns to the low post, he may score more efficiently, but he will be less helpful to the team.

He even returned to the low post because the space in the low post is smaller and the double-teaming effect will be better. After all, Feilong cannot be as dominant as the Shark in the low post.

In particular, if the league implements zone defense, the impact will be even greater. "

Zhao Dong asked: "Coach, this rule seems to only restrict face-to-basket breakthroughs, but not post-up play?"

Old Nelson smiled and said: "If the league restricts outside post-up play, it is not restricting you, but restricting others."

Next, Grant and Nelson worked together to explain all the provisions.
