Chapter 354: Shark Wants to Brutally Torture No. 1 Pick Yao?

At the ninth minute of the first quarter, Nelson put on the bench, with Barkley and Willis on the inside, John Wallace on the forward line, and Madman and Zhao Dong on the back line.

This lineup lasted until the third minute of the second quarter. Zhao Dong and Madman came off the court, and Stackhouse and Ginobili came on, playing the entire second quarter.

Zhao Dong and the three outsiders all play 15 minutes in the half and have a nine-minute rest period. Even if the second half is full, there will only be 39 minutes. This rotation rate is still acceptable.

In this game, the Knicks finally won a big victory, 81:109, a 28-point victory, and got a good start to the new season.

With three guards, Madman scored 18 points, Stackhouse scored 16 points, and Ginobili just arrived and also scored 12 points. The three of them jointly contributed 46 points. The scoring potential can be tapped.

Zhao Dong scored 41 points alone. With his offensive efficiency and scoring ability, there was no big explosion.

After the game, Zhang Lili commented on the game and said: "If this is the Knicks' fixed starting lineup for the new season, its scoring ability and offensive firepower will be very strong.

Among the five starters, Fordson is responsible for defense, rebounding, and secondary offense. In addition to not having the ability to attack with the ball, the other four all have the ability to attack with the ball, strong breakthrough ability, fast break ability, and outside jump shot. Ability, three-pointers and mid-range shots are all lacking. Such a lineup, once played smoothly or crazy, is very powerful.

However, the Knicks should be reminded that the three-back perimeter will result in a lack of overall perimeter height. If they encounter a team with a high perimeter, they will probably be beaten. For example, if the Bulls encounter Tracy McGrady on the outside, the Knicks will have a height disadvantage, which should be noted.

In addition, in this game, the three defenders combined to commit 8 turnovers, which is a bit more. Also, in terms of rebounding, the Knicks did not take advantage of the Heat. The current three-guard tactic has a serious lack of overall height, so we need to pay attention to the rebounding issue. "

On the edge of the court, Zhao Dong accepted an on-site interview after the game.

"Feilong, will today's starting lineup be fixed?" Thomas, the team reporter, asked.

"I believe you know Coach Nelson's style, so I don't know if this starting lineup will be fixed." Zhao Dong said.

"What do you think of this starting lineup?" Thomas continued.

"It has its advantages. If the opponent's overall height is average, then we can play this starting lineup. But if the opponent's overall height is too outstanding,

We should make some adjustments. " Zhao Dong said.

"Including Gary Trent, he played 12 minutes today. The Knicks belong to the nine-man rotation. What do you think of this?" a New York Sports reporter asked.

"It's okay. Among our five main players, I played the longest, which was only 38 minutes. With nine players rotating the lineup, we should still have room to squeeze the main players in key games." Zhao Dong said with a smile.

Back in the locker room, Zhao Dong took out his cell phone and called Da Zhi first. Now that the Mavericks game was over, Da Zhi was the starting center and asked about his performance.

"Brother Dong?"

"Da Zhi, how's your performance?"

"Haha, it's okay, we won."

"It's good if you say it's okay. Tell me."

"Okay. I attacked more in the low post today, and I also pulled out to hit a few. I hit 6 shots under the basket and scored 4, hit 7 from close range and scored 3, and made 1 of the other 3, for a total of 16 shots. Made 8 of 8 shots, 5 of 5 free throws, scored 21 points, and grabbed 7 rebounds.”

Zhao Dong nodded and smiled: "Fifty percent shooting rate is very good. Tim Duncan is said to be at his peak when he debuts, so this is the overall shooting rate. But to have a sustained and stable performance, you can't be proud of one or two performances.

In addition, even if you have good steps under the basket, big dreams will praise you. Play more at the basket and you will be more efficient. Don't be afraid of confrontation and be decisive in your shots. "

"I understand, Brother Dong, don't worry." Da Zhi said with a smile.

"By the way, how was your German partner's performance?" Zhao Dong asked out of curiosity.

"Dirk also performed well and scored 19 points." Da Zhi said with a smile.

"That guy hasn't grown up yet. When he grows up, he should have a very strong scoring ability. In addition, Da Zhi, his style of play is similar to yours, so you must play more in the low post and attack at the basket. Otherwise, if the positions overlap, the team attacks too little in the low post, and the offensive efficiency is not enough, then the Mavericks will definitely consider trading you, or him, but it is more likely to trade you." Zhao Dong warned.

"I understand, Brother Dong, I will play more in the low post and at the basket." Da Zhi said.

After talking to Da Zhi, Zhao Dong chatted a few words with Hu Weidong.

Hu Weidong is considered a veteran in the NBA. This is his third season, and the Wizards are another weak team. He also started tonight and had many opportunities to shoot. He made 9 of 19 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, and 4 of 5 free throws. Scored 24 points, good performance and good efficiency.

Just after hanging up the phone, Jordan's call came in.

"Hey, Feilong, we won the game." Jordan's tone was very excited.

"Not bad. When I took over the team, we had a good lineup." Zhao Dong said with a smile.

"Feilong, do you really think our lineup has potential?" Jordan asked seriously.

"How many assists did Stockton send out today?" Zhao Dong asked.

"Nine times. Scored 12 points." Jordan said.

Zhao Dong smiled and said: "He still has gas, but his offensive ability with the ball is not good and he cannot attract double teams."

"You mean to trade him?" Jordan asked in surprise.

"Of course not. If you trade him, where will you find a super organizational point guard with strong defensive capabilities?"

Zhao Dong immediately denied it and said, "I mean, well, I don't mean anything."

"What? What do you mean?" Jordan was confused.

Zhao Dong then hung up the phone. What he originally wanted to say was that the defense of the two insiders, Da Zhi and Laoshi, can only be said to be average. Such an insider combination will only be reduced to rubbish if they encounter the Spurs' Duncan. But if he said this, he might be traded by the Mavericks, so he took it back when he said it.

Even if he leaves the Mavericks, he won't be without the ball. With his current strength, he will be the starting center position for any weak team, but he must be equipped with a defensive power forward as his partner. Attack and defense balance.

In turn, the same goes for veteran players, who need a defensive center.

"Feilong, what do you think of the current Heat team?" a Miami reporter asked at the post-game press conference.

"It can make the playoffs, but it has no chance of winning the championship. Coach Pat Riley will dismantle this team sooner or later, and the Heat's reconstruction is inevitable."

Zhao Dong is very straightforward.

The reason why he is so sure is because Mourning's kidney disease is unstoppable. Once the team leader and core Mourning is in bad shape, what future does the Heat have?

On the 3rd of the next day, the Knicks had no game. The second regular season game was still at home, against the Cavaliers.

That night, the Lakers faced the Nets at home.

At night, Zhao Dong turned on the TV, locked the ABC TV channel, and then called Dayao.

"Brother Dong."

"Dayao, how do you get along with Marbury?" Zhao Dong asked directly.

As a center, it will definitely not work without the passing of the defender. If the relationship between Dayao and Marbury is not good, there will be trouble.

"Brother Dong, we are okay, we have a lot of conversations. By the way, he said you lied to him, haha."

"Haha, that fool."

The two chatted for a while and then ended the call.

Tonight is Yao's first professional game. He will appear in the eyes of basketball fans across the country for the first time. Compared with his first professional game in the previous life, this is already two years later.

But Zhao Dong believes that compared with the previous life, Dayao's strength is definitely a level higher now, and he is absolutely a first-class center in the NBA.

He even believes that as long as the media is not too harsh, Dayao can perform at the peak of his debut in his rookie game.

But what kind of performance tonight will actually be difficult to say, because Dayao is facing off against the most dominant basket monster in the world, Shaquille O'Neal.

Playing against O'Neal in his debut will be a great test for Yao.

At the same time, it is difficult to say how many passes Marbury will give Dayao.

After thinking about it, he called Marbury again. He had Marbury's phone number.

In the visiting team's locker room at Staples Center, Marbury received a call from Zhao Dong.

He left his phone number with Zhao Dong last season, but Zhao Dong never contacted him. This call made him very excited.

"Hey, Fei Long?"

"Stephen, my brother Dayao is at your place. Don't treat him badly. I will watch your game tonight." Zhao Dong said on the other end.

"Don't worry, Feilong, Yao is also my brother. I will pass the ball to him. Tonight is his professional debut. He can throw as many balls as he wants."

Marbury laughed quickly.

"OK, you're back in New York, I'll treat you to dinner." Zhao Dong hung up the phone without saying anything more.

The Lakers' starting lineup is O'Neal, Ben Wallace, Glen Rice, Kobe Bryant, and Ron Harper.

The Nets' starting lineup is Dayao, Van Horn, Corey Kidders, Kendall Gill, and Marbury.

Like the Knicks, there are no good small forwards and the Nets have three guards on the net.

Compared with the lineup, there is no doubt that the Lakers' lineup is more reasonable.

During the offseason, Jerry West signed 35-year-old veteran and former Bulls champion Ron Harper from the free market to serve as the starting point guard for this game.

This season, the Lakers have opened a new home arena, and the famous Staples Center was officially opened on the 17th of last month.

So this game against the Nets was played at the Staples Center. This was also the first NBA game in the arena.

This game was also broadcast live on CCTV. Zhang Lili and Su Qun, who were in New York yesterday, arrived in Los Angeles today.

"Dear audience friends, you may not be familiar with Yao Min. You may only know that he is the number one pick, but he has played in the National Games in China. This is his first professional game tonight." Su Qun explained said.

Zhang Liji said with a smile: "You are familiar, Dayao is the spokesperson of Feilong Sports with hundreds of millions of dollars, and his billboards are everywhere in the country.

In addition, Dayao came to the United States two years ago, and his NCAA participation is closely related to Feilong, who was brought out from China by Feilong..."

The commentators on ABC happened to be Whoopi Brown and Cook.

Hubie Brown said at this time: "As the No. 1 pick, the Nets have great expectations for Yao. He performed very well in the NCAA, has strong dominance at the basket, and has very strong scoring ability.

He is no better than O'Neal. He has the shooting touch that O'Neal dreams of, and the free throw shooting percentage that O'Neal dreams of. He can even turn around and make fadeaway jumpers like a guard..."

Cook said at this time: "Let's make a bet. Today is his first professional game. I bet he won't score more than 20 points."

"twenty?"

Hubie Brown hesitated for a moment, twenty points was not a small amount, especially since the Nets also had a lone wolf who was very sticky with the ball.

Duncan, who was at the peak of his career, only had 15+10 in his first professional game. Can this Chinese do it?

Of course, Duncan just took too few shots in the first game. It seemed that he only took nine shots. If he took more shots, he could have scored 20+.

But he is not sure how many shots Yao can get, because Marbury of the Nets is too individualistic and will not pass the ball until the last moment. Yao can get a few passes from Marbury. Really Hard to say.

He asked curiously: "Cook, don't you think highly of him?"

Cook smiled: "Yao was brought out of China by Feilong, and he is also someone Feilong is optimistic about. He performed very well in the NCAA and won the NCAA championship as a core member. How could I not be optimistic about him? But this is his first A professional game, I think he needs an adaptation process."

Nodding, Hubie Brown said: "Scoring twenty points in the first game is indeed a bit difficult."

"Don't you dare?" Cook said excitedly.

"What's the stakes?" laughed Whoopi Brown.

"The best restaurant in Los Angeles invited me to eat once," Cook said.

"OK, I bet." Hubby Brown said with a smile.

At this time, pre-match interviews were taking place in the visiting team's locker room.

CCTV reporter Yang Yi entered the locker room, squatted in front of Dayao, and asked with a smile: "Dayao, how do you feel?"

"Oh, I'm looking forward to it." Dayao, who had just turned nineteen, said excitedly.

"Do you think you can adapt to the NBA?" Yang asked again and again.

"able."

Dayao nodded without hesitation.

This is the self-confidence derived from strength, and it is also the pressure that drives him.

When he came to the United States from China, his parents and Zhang Mingji paid a lot for him. Brother Dong has been sponsoring him and even gave him a super sponsorship contract that he couldn't believe. He also invited Dameng to teach him. , he must adapt, and he can only adapt, without any hesitation or lack of confidence.

"Yao, whose team do you think this Nets belongs to?" A reporter asked at this time.

Dayao pondered, this is not a good question. Although Marbury is strong, according to his understanding, Marbury has still not integrated into the Nets. His style of play is very personal. For such a star, the team belongs to him. , other teammates may not agree.

Marbury averaged 8.7 assists per game last season, but the ball rights were concentrated in his hands and he did not play the role of organizing the team in series. He did not execute the tactics well, but decided what to do by himself. Hit, give the ball to someone.

But he couldn't deny that this was not Marbury's team, so he said: "Steve played at an All-Star level last season. He is the strongest one on our team, and he is the natural core. "

Marbury, who was a few positions past, noticed it and laughed. He was quite satisfied with Dayao's answer.

"Stephen, do you think this is your team?" The reporter who had just asked Yao turned around and asked Marbury more directly.

Marbury glanced at the reporter's microphone, which was marked Los Angeles Sports. He snorted in his heart and said coldly: "Of course this is my team, otherwise whose team do you think it is?"

The reporter shrugged, smiled and didn't ask any more questions.

After the reporter left, Marbury waved to Dayao. When Dayao came over, he said, "Yao, did Feilong call you just now?"

"We played before, and Brother Dong said you are a good person and will pass the ball to me." Dayao said with a smile.

Marbury became happy, nodded and said: "He also hit me. Don't worry, I will give you a lot of balls tonight."

He dreams of returning to New York to play and become a member of the Gentlemen team, but going to the Knicks is impossible without Feilong's nod.

"Thank you, Steve." Dayao said with a smile.

In the home team locker room, a group of Lakers players are very excited. They have a new home arena and a brand new luxurious locker room. It feels great.

As the eldest, O'Neill picked the closet at the end, right next to the door.

At this time, the locker room interview began, and several reporters came in, all falling in front of O'Neal.

"Shaq, Feilong abused Duncan during his rookie season. Tonight you will face the No. 1 pick Yao Min. Will you learn from Feilong?" a reporter asked.

O'Neal laughed, approached the reporter, and said mysteriously: "What do you think?"

"Guess your sister!"

The reporter cursed in his mind and immediately said: "I don't think you dare. If you dare to brutally abuse Yao, Feilong will deal with you."

"How dare he?" O'Neill was angry.

"Feilong's position this season is the fifth position. Do you think he doesn't dare to play against you?" the reporter asked.

"He has been avoiding me." O'Neal raised his chin and said very proudly.

"Then will you brutally torture No. 1 pick Yao tonight?" the reporter asked.

"Go tell Feilong that I will help him train that rookie tonight." O'Neal roared.

"I will." The reporter said proudly.

Twenty minutes later, the starting lineup came on and the two teams met in the tunnel.

"Hey, Yao."

"Hey, Ben."

Both are Zhao Dong's younger brothers. Da Ben and Dayao greeted each other as soon as they met.

"Hey, big man, how tall are you?" O'Neal asked curiously.

"226 centimeters." Dayao smiled.

In fact, he was three centimeters short, and he had grown to 229 centimeters.

"Your English is pretty good." O'Neill smiled.

"Yes." Dayao smiled.

"Your nickname?" O'Neal asked.

"Uh, no," Dayao said.

O'Neal immediately said excitedly: "That should be there, everyone has it. For example, my nicknames are Big Diesel, Big Shark, Big Faith, Big Broom, Big Evangelist..."

Kobe and others want to face-palm, Shaq, it’s better not to show off your self-created nickname, it’s too embarrassing.

"You can give yourself a nickname that will represent your personality and style, as well as your strength." O'Neal suggested.

"Uh, okay, okay." Dayao said helplessly.

O'Neal became more and more excited as he talked, almost dancing and shouting: "Do you want to listen to my suggestions? For example, you can call it a coat rack or a big telephone pole..."

Dayao's face turned dark. What kind of bullshit nickname is this?

At this time, O'Neal suddenly said fiercely: "Boy, I'm going to teach you a lesson tonight."

"Why?" Dayao asked curiously.

"Because of that guy Feilong, he taught Tim Duncan a lesson, and I want to teach you a lesson too," O'Neal said.

Dayao Wuyu, you want to compete with Brother Dong, why don’t you go to him?
