Chapter 288: Fifty+ in a Row

At this time, Phil Jackson said: "From now on, we will weaken the intensity of the interior defense and we will defeat them with offense."

Jordan nodded. Although Feilong's scoring ability is terrifying, the Bulls' current lineup has a stronger overall offensive ability than the Knicks. After Fordson was injured, the Bulls' rebounding ability is stronger than the Knicks. He believes that tonight Get a win.

In the next game, Zhao Dong continued to attack the penalty area.

But after playing a few games, he found that there was no need to do this because the Bulls had weakened their interior defense.

He kept attacking the penalty area today. His purpose was to test the Bulls' interior defensive strength and prepare for the playoffs.

But the Bulls weakened their interior defense, and his probing was useless, so they stopped doing that and began to increase their mid-range offense to avoid wasting physical energy.

However, the Madman was injured. Although Hu Weidong performed well, his scoring ability was still not as good as the Madman. Willis's rebounding ability was not as good as Fordson. The Knicks eventually lost the game.

95:105, the Bulls won by 10 points.

Zhao Dong scored a 30+ triple-double, but if he lost the game, this data would be meaningless.

In terms of rebounds, the Knicks grabbed 41, but the Bulls grabbed 49.

In terms of turnovers, the Knicks made 10 mistakes, Billups made 4 mistakes alone, Hu Weidong made 3 mistakes, the Bulls made 5 mistakes, Kidd only made 1 mistake, and Jordan made none. The Knicks were blown away at the first and second positions.

After the game, Bill Walton commented: “Injuring Danny Fordson and Madman, the Knicks exposed two big lineup weaknesses.

First, there are not enough small forward players. In addition to Feilong, there is only swingman China Hu as a substitute. Others such as Barkley and others are still unable to play this position.

Fordson was injured, and his rebounding ability and defense inside were insufficient. Because there was a lack of substitutes at the third position, Feilong could only continue to play small forward.

Looking at it this way, Grant was wrong when he vetoed the trade of McGrady. With McGrady, Feilong can completely return to the inside in this situation.

Second, the main shooting guard Madman was injured. The Knicks' scoring ability from the outside has dropped a lot, and they can no longer bear the scoring pressure for the Feilong.

China Hu started this game and made 6 of 13 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws in 35 minutes. He scored 17 points and shot 46% from the field.

The scoring efficiency is good, 36% of the offense is under the basket after breakthrough, but the offensive firepower is not as good as the Madman, and there are too few shots.

Of course, I am not blaming China Hu, he is just a substitute, and his performance is already good.

The problem is that now the Knicks need scoring ability, otherwise it will be difficult for the Knicks to win again before the madman comes back. "

"Are madmen that important?"

After asking a rhetorical question, Matt smiled and said: "In this game, Feilong did not go all out, he did not play his strongest state.

After the Bulls weakened their interior defense, he not only did not continue to attack the penalty area, but instead increased his mid-range shots, reduced his offense, and increased his passing. What does this mean? "

Bill Walton laughed: "It means he is observing and testing the bull."

Matt said: “He is also observing his team, and I think what he wants to see is how much strength his team still has when the main players are injured.

He saw the result, and I think he should be satisfied, because he actually played well. He only lost 10 points and scored 95 points when he did not perform at his full strength. The scoring ability of the Knicks' current lineup is not Very weak. "

In the CCTV live broadcast, Sun Zhenping said with a smile: "Da Zhi performed well today. In 23 minutes, he made 4 of 8 shots, 3 of 3 free throws, and a three-pointer. He scored in double figures."

Zhang Lili said with a smile: "Fortson was injured, and Barkley didn't play much. He had more opportunities, but he took fewer shots."

"The shots are relatively average, and Zhao Dong's shots were few today." Sun Zhenping said with a smile.

On the field, Zhao Dong wanted to go back to the locker room, but was stopped by a reporter from TNT, and the live cameras followed him.

"Aren't you going to interview him?"

He turned and pointed at Jordan, who was being interviewed on the spot.

"Feilong, I have been interviewing him for more than ten years, and now I want to interview you." The reporter shouted.

"Three answers." Zhao Dong made an OK gesture.

"Feilong, did you lose on purpose tonight?" the reporter immediately asked.

"Why do you ask? The Bulls are very strong, much better than last season." Zhao Dong said in surprise.

"You took too few shots, only 18, which is far lower than the 29 this season." The reporter said.

Zhao Dong shook his head and said: "The tactics are just different. I got 15 assists in this game, but I lost the game. It shows that this kind of passing-oriented play cannot beat the Bulls with the current lineup. On the contrary, Kidd I got 14 assists, but the Bulls won, which shows that this style of play is suitable for the current Bulls."

"So it's just a test of lineup tactics?" the reporter asked.

"Of course, isn't this what we do in the regular season?" Zhao Dong said with a smile.

"Feilong, what do you think about the rule that allows double-teaming of players without the ball? Are you opposed to the introduction of this rule?" the reporter asked again.

"This rule can indeed restrict me, but I think it will be difficult to use this rule to win against me. In addition, I am not opposed to the emergence of this rule, because it will appear sooner or later." Zhao Dong laughed.

"How do you know this rule will appear sooner or later?" the reporter asked curiously.

"That's the third question."

Zhao Dong reminded him and then said: "Have you not seen how O'Neal plays this season? He squeezes out a few people who are double-teaming him under the basket, and then dunks on their heads.

This behemoth under the basket, once he is allowed to catch the ball under the basket, how can he be guarded? To deal with him, the only way to deal with him is to introduce the rule of double-teaming people without the ball. The league should not make the basket unbalanced. This rule must be used to balance the offensive and defensive power of the basket. "

"Feilong, you bastard, you and I are at odds with each other. I'm going to change a basket for you. No, I'm going to change you to a backboard." In Los Angeles, O'Neal shouted angrily.

"I agree."

San Antonio, Tim Duncan said when he saw this.

"The Shark is really scary at the basket. He is just as scary at the basket as the flying dragon when it hits the penalty area. This restrictive rule really needs to be introduced."

Popovich nodded.

After attending the post-game press conference, the Knicks changed positions and headed to the Raptors overnight, where the team was waiting for their second consecutive back-to-back game.

The next day, there were more calls for allowing players without the ball than before.

The NBA League also responded immediately, saying that it would study this issue immediately.

"Feilong, you did a good job!"

Facing an ESPN TV interview, O'Neal said angrily.

"Ha, Shark, you're the one who got it. In this life, you can't even hope to win the ok dynasty."

As soon as he arrived at the hotel, Zhao Dong turned on the TV and saw O'Neal's interview footage from the ESPN program, and couldn't help but laugh.

In the previous life, the league began to implement the rule of allowing double-teaming of players without the ball in the 01/02 season, and that year the Lakers had won two consecutive championships, and the trend was established.

In this life, he hopes that this rule will appear in advance, which will make it easier to snipe the emergence of the OK Dynasty.

On this day, the Timberwolves put Marbury on the shelf and announced that this was a deal that Marbury actively applied for.

"The consequences of Garnett's billion-dollar contract are beginning to appear. This contract will lock the future of the Timberwolves." Los Angeles Times.

"Marbury's agent appears in New York, maybe the Knicks will usher in a top point guard." New York Sports.

A top point guard took the initiative to apply for a trade to leave the team, triggering heated discussions in the media.

"Traitor, get out of Minnesota..."

"Asshole, if you leave the Timberwolves, you will have nothing!"

In Minnesota, Timberwolves fans were angry. They rushed to the team headquarters and began to abuse Marbury.

Marbury on the shelf immediately attracted the attention of many teams, but what Marbury wants next season is a top-level contract, so ordinary teams cannot afford it, and not many teams initiate transactions.

And because Marbury wants to go to a team near New York, which is closer to his hometown, ordinary teams do not meet his requirements.

Marbury's contract ends this season and he will become a restricted free agent after the season. If he is not traded now, the Timberwolves will get nothing. In the end, they can only do what Marbury wished and send Marbury to the Nets.

In a three-party trade, the Timberwolves acquired Bucks point guard Terrell Brandon, the Bucks acquired Nets alien Sam Cassell, and the Nets acquired Marbury.

In this transaction, the Timberwolves sold Marbury at a low price, but it is better than getting nothing.

At noon that day, Nike's headquarters in New York held a press conference, announcing that it would package and sell three of its subsidiaries and their businesses for a total amount of up to 650 million U.S. dollars, and began a divestiture and slimming plan.

This news was in line with the news that Lindsay had previously released about breaking up Nike. Nike's stock price plummeted by 20% in one day, plummeting to $25, and there was a flood of selling.

"Boss, please take a seat."

At one o'clock, Vince Carter invited Zhao Dong to lunch at a restaurant in Toronto.

"You should call me Feilong." Zhao Dong smiled after sitting down.

He took a look at this restaurant. It was quite high-end.

Carter smiled and said: "Feilong, this is the most exclusive Western restaurant in Toronto, is it okay?"

"Not bad." Zhao Dong nodded and smiled.

"Feilong, I..." Carter hesitated.

"Just tell me if you have anything to say." Zhao Dong smiled.

In just one month, Carter has become famous in the league. With his explosive dunks again and again, his popularity has caught up with Maddie Kobe. His signature sneakers have also entered the upward channel, and sales are rising step by step. This signing is still Cost-effective.

"I heard that the Knicks players are investing with you, what about me?" Carter said looking at Zhao Dong expectantly.

"You want to invest? It's easy. Give me your money and I will help you get rich." Zhao Dong smiled.

"Awesome!" Carter said excitedly.

"Are you comfortable staying in the Raptors?" Zhao Dong asked.

"It's okay." Carter smiled.

Zhao Dong thought for a while and said seriously: "Vince, the defensive strength of the league is still quite strong now. When we encounter teams like the Heat, Spurs, and our Knicks, we will have to give up a few less.

Like playing against the Lakers, don't try to dunk on O'Neal. If you are pulled down by him, your career may be ruined. "

"Understood." Carter nodded quickly.

"Also, you need to strengthen your shooting training. Make mid-range shots after breakthroughs, including three-pointers, and increase your ability to attack with the ball. Don't always think about hitting the basket. That will make your path too narrow. Simply dunking will not do it. Such a high value, although it is very popular, its status will be very low." Zhao Dongdao.

"Uh-huh!"

Carter nodded again.

That night, the Knicks defeated the Raptors and avoided a losing streak. With 14 wins and 1 loss, they still had the best record in the league.

On the 3rd, the Knicks returned to New York.

"Aiweier?"

When Zhao Dong returned to the villa at four o'clock in the afternoon, he actually saw Lindsay. This was rare. Normally Lindsay must be at the company or at school at this time.

"Hehe, there is nothing big going on in the company today. I knew my husband was coming back, so I was lazy."

Lindsay smiled and ran over to take Zhao Dong's suitcase. After packing it, she brought a glass of apple juice and said, "Husband, I asked someone to buy a lot of vegetables at noon, and we will cook it ourselves in the evening."

"Okay, I'll hold the spoon and you'll do the rest." Zhao Dong said with a smile.

After taking a rest, the two came to the kitchen.

"Aiweier, who are you going to sell those Nike subsidiaries to?" Zhao Dong asked while preparing food.

"My plan is to sell them to companies like Adidas and Reebok, and cash out while holding on to their liquidity. The subsidiaries I have divested are not profitable, and there are many non-performing assets that have also been put into these companies. Companies, including some real estate bonds that may suffer losses, as long as they acquire them, once these non-performing assets explode, they can be brought down."

Lindsay explained and then said: "Adi's companies not only consumed their own liquidity by repurchasing stocks from the secondary market some time ago, but also borrowed large amounts of mortgage loans. As long as they acquire these subsidiaries, I This will further deplete their potential, and it will be much easier to attack them in the future.”

"Will they take over these subsidiaries?" Zhao Dong asked curiously.

Lindsay smiled and said: "This is easy to handle. It's not a problem for us in finance. I have used a world-class rating company on Wall Street to package these bad assets with some good assets through some algorithms. It seems that the return rate is good. good assets.

For example, if the non-performing assets are grade C-, the good assets are grade A+, and there are eight grades in between, then after packaging, the asset will be grade B.

In addition, through other channels, I acquired enough stock shares of these companies to join the board of directors, and I have already arranged for people to join their boards of directors.

These people are all specially selected. They are all the most professional lobbyists and even have the qualifications to lobby in the White House. They will lobby the boards of directors of companies such as Adidas to purchase distressed assets that look good. They have a high chance of success. "

"That's it." Zhao Dong nodded.

He is very familiar with Lindsay's method, because this is what the United States did during the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis in the previous life in order to deceive Europe.

The subprime mortgage crisis was actually created specifically to derail the Eurozone. It deliberately created a large number of bad subprime mortgage businesses, packaged them with other benign assets, and then sold them to Europe. In the end, the biggest subprime mortgage crisis was The victim is Europe.

As for the reason, OPEC planned to establish the euro and the US dollar as trading currencies in parallel. In order to maintain the hegemony of the US dollar, it caused the subprime mortgage crisis.

This is the same as forcing Japan to sign the Plaza Accord, not because one Tokyo can buy the entire United States, but because that time OPEC also wanted to turn the Japanese yen into a trading currency, which threatened the hegemony of the US dollar.

"Then how does Feilong Sports acquire Nike?" Zhao Dong asked again.

Lindsay said: "Storm Fund must make money, Nike cannot be sold at a low price, and the divested Nike will eventually be packaged and sold to Feilong Sports.

The packaged Nike assets also include the cash assets after the divestiture of subsidiaries, as well as the best assets. Feilong Sports gets a Nike with only its core assets, and at the same time, the Storm can maintain sufficient profits.

After acquiring Nike, Feilong Sports will use Silver Demon Technology to invest in Nike, increasing its own shareholding and diluting the shares of other shareholders. This news will definitely cause Nike's stock to skyrocket, and then Feilong Sports can cash out some of its shares in the secondary market. , just recycle the funds used to acquire Nike and only retain the controllable share. "

"Is that equivalent to exchanging the Silver Demon for Nike? How much are you going to sell the Silver Demon technology to Nike for?" Zhao Dong asked with a smile.

"Of course, the more, the better. This is a technology that Feilong Sports spent tens of billions of dollars to develop, and there are so many patented technologies."

Lindsay said with a smile.

"Ten billions of dollars?"

Zhao Dong was startled. My wife is very good at finance. She has the final say on Storm and Nike. She said tens of billions is tens of billions. He couldn't help laughing, and then reminded: "Aiweier, the money provided to Nike is Silver Devils technology cannot give the best, the best must only be owned by Feilong Sports.”

"Of course, if it provides all the best Silver Demon technology, Nike can't afford it!" Lindsay laughed.

At this time, a meeting was held at the New York League headquarters.

This meeting was specially held to discuss whether to allow double-teaming without the ball, but not more than half of the people supported it. This was completely opposite to the situation last season when the zone defense and dragon rules were discussed.

Stern knows the reason for this change very well, because Nike was acquired by Storm Fund, and Miss Lindsay has fulfilled her promise and will no longer interfere in league affairs. He is very satisfied with this change and likes Nike very much.

Another point is that this rule has a great impact on O'Neal. Reebok must have prevented this rule from being passed. Among several sponsors, Adidas supports this rule, but it is not strong enough.

Therefore, this meeting did not pass the rule that allows double-teaming of people without the ball.

In fact, even if there are more than half of the people, he will veto it with one vote.

Because he believes that the current Bulls are strong enough, once Zhao Dong is restricted, it will easily cause an imbalance, and he will not allow this rule to be passed this season.

Of course, if the Knicks defend their dynasty this season, they will definitely implement this rule next season to restrict Zhao Dong and the Knicks.

On the night of the 3rd, the Knicks ushered in their third consecutive back-to-back game, facing the Celtics at home.

The players were very tired. Charlie Ward replaced Billups as the starter. The team increased its rotation and its strength declined.

In order to win the game, Zhao Dong played with all his strength, scored 50+ again, and led the team to win the game.

"Three wins in three games, the Knicks have shown their championship potential, with 50+ points in a row, and Feilong has performed as the first active player."

The New York Times devoted extensive coverage to the Knicks' three back-to-back games.
