Chapter 279: Battle against email combination

At this time, in another hall, the Bulls' press conference was in progress.

"Michael, are you satisfied with this year's lineup?" a New York Times reporter asked.

"Yes, I'm satisfied."

Although he lost the game, Jordan seemed to be in a good mood, with a smile on his face and a relaxed and confident tone.

"Why?" the reporter asked.

Jordan laughed: "We only lost three points, but if it weren't for the final mistake, we could have won this game.

The reason why I am satisfied with this lineup is because our nearly rebuilt lineup, after such a long layoff, can play like this with the Knicks, whose main lineup has not changed much after just a few days of running-in. That's why I'm satisfied. "

"Who do you think is stronger?" the reporter asked again.

"Of course it's us." Jordan said confidently.

Then he added: "Our scoring is more even, which makes the Knicks' defense more spread out. In addition, the offense inside and outside is more balanced than last season.

Last season our insiders were too old and had many serious injuries, but this year several of our insiders, whether they are the main players or substitutes, can defend and score. Their offense and defense are balanced, and they have no injuries...

...And our rookie Tracy McGrady, he has improved and scored 24 points tonight, which makes me very happy..."

Today is McGrady’s first time participating in the Bulls’ post-game press conference, and he is very excited.

In the Bulls, all he heard was Jordan's scolding every day, and his nerves were always on the verge of breaking.

"Rookie, why are you stopping? Go to training? Don't sit there. Didn't you hear what I said?"

"Hey, what are you doing sitting down again?"

"Damn, run, you're not a wooden pile."

"High school students, go do strength training, don't be lazy!"

Too many reprimands, never praise, Jordan put too much pressure on him.

But just now, he actually heard Jordan praise him,

This was the first time he was praised, which made him so excited that his eyes immediately turned red.

As soon as he lowered his head, tears burst out of his eyes instantly.

After the press conference, Zhao Dong happened to bump into Jordan and his party when he came out.

He glanced at McGrady, his eyes red. Was he crying because Jordan scolded him at the press conference?

"Jordan, you know his body, don't let it be ruined by you." Pointing at McGrady, he reminded.

"You don't need to worry about my people. We have the best team. Have you ever seen me practice with injuries?" Jordan said dissatisfied.

Zhao Dong smiled and said: "I just want to remind you, don't overdraw his potential just for your present. His body is not as durable as yours."

At this time, Phil Jackson stood up and said to Zhao Dong: "Feilong, don't worry, our training for Tracy is the most scientific and professional, and we also have the most cutting-edge rehabilitation equipment, which will not put any stress on his body. Sexual harm.”

Looking at Zhao Dong who turned his back, Jordan said unhappily: "You are self-righteous, don't I know?"

He said to McGrady: "Tracy, do you feel tired? Can't your physical recovery speed keep up with the consumption speed?"

Maddie lowered his head, then shook his head and said, "Michael, I can keep up."

"Look, what I said is right, you self-righteous guy." Jordan turned around and glared at Zhao Dong before turning away.

As McGrady walked, he quietly looked back at Zhao Dong's back, his eyes a little complicated.

He often talked to Billups on the phone and talked about each other's situation. He was very envious of Billups's pressure-free environment in the Knicks.

To be honest, he really wanted to go to the Knicks, not the Bulls.

The next day, the media made substantial comments on the first day of the new NBA season.

New York Times Sports Page: "The Dragons scored 50+ in the opening game and were in great shape. The Madman was inefficient and Mr. Neil Grant made a failed deal.

Looking back at the Bulls, Phil Jackson's introduction of Oakley was a stroke of genius. It not only weakened the Knicks, but also greatly improved the quality of the Bulls' inside line.

At the same time, the Bulls' No. 3 Tracy McGrady performed well and began to shine as a first-class small forward, with full offensive potential.

Comparing the two teams, the Knicks are obviously inferior to the Bulls on the offensive end. Before the trade window closes, it is recommended that the Knicks continue the transaction. "

The New York Times also commented on the Spurs-Lakers battle: "Although Shark was dominant at the basket, in yesterday's game, he was suppressed by the Spurs' twin towers, coupled with disaster-level free throws, so the Lakers lost. .

If the Lakers want to advance to the Finals in the playoffs, they must immediately improve O'Neal's free throw technique (it is recommended that O'Neal use the urine pot free throw technique), and at the same time maintain a strong perimeter offense to spread the defensive pressure on O'Neal from the Spurs' twin towers. "

In addition, many media praised Tracy McGrady last night and even called him a future superstar.

The New York media began to question Grant's decision to refuse to trade Fordson for Tracy McGrady, saying that the Knicks had lost an opportunity to have a future superstar.

"Feilong, according to the news, you supported Neil Grant's decision, so do you now regret turning down the opportunity to own Tracy McGrady?"

A New York Sports reporter asked Zhao Dong when interviewing him over the phone.

"Then tell me, after trading Fordson, will you let Tracy McGrady go in and grab rebounds?" Zhao Dong asked.

"Uh, this..." the reporter was speechless.

Zhao Dong added: "In last night's game, our rebounding advantage was not big anymore. If Fordson goes to the Bulls again, do you know what the result will be?

That will be the situation when we faced the Bulls last season, and the Bulls will have a huge rebounding advantage.

Between offense and rebounding, my choice is rebounding. What's more, Fordson also has a very strong interior defense, which is not what McGrady can bring to us as a second-year player.

McGrady may be good in the future, but currently we are not lacking in outside offense, and we will not lose inside defense and rebounding for outside offense. "

On the way home, Zhao Dong wanted to add the two skill points he gained to his turnaround and fadeaway jump shot, but he failed. Due to the balance issue, this skill could not be improved and it was still level 94.

He simply improved his fixed-point jump shooting to level 91.

The next day, the Knicks started four road trips, taking in the Magic and the Pistons, Wizards, Digital Team and other Eastern Conference teams.

In the game against the Magic, Zhao Dong once again scored 50+. His two consecutive 50+ performances won praise from the media.

In this game, Hu Weidong got his first chance to start. He played 32 minutes, made 6 of 14 shots, 1 of 4 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 17 points. His performance was passable and he was considered a normal main force. The level of the team.

However, Nelson is still not satisfied with this level, because the offensive capabilities of Ben Wallace and Fordson are insufficient. In the Knicks' main lineup, except for Zhao Dong, they only point to the shooting guard position to score points. The shooting guard's expectation was 20+, so in the next game, he put the Madman in the starting position again.

Zhao Dong originally wanted to complete four 50+ games in one go, but in the game against the Pistons, he encountered a strong defense.

The Pistons seemed to be possessed by the Bad Boys, playing a suffocating game and controlling the rhythm of the game. Neither side's score reached 80 points.

Although the Knicks won the game, Zhao Dong only scored 38 points and shot 51%, which was far from his normal level.

Since he couldn't complete the task, the next game against the Wizards was not important, so he stopped playing and gave up the shots and ball rights to Billups and Madman to hone these two people.

Billu took over all organizational functions, and Madman took over the offensive dominance. They both performed well in the game against the Wizards.

Billups got 8 assists, which was his highest number of assists in a single game with the Knicks. He was so happy that he almost burst into laughter.

The Madman began to recover, making 9 of 21 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, and 6 of 9 free throws, scoring 26 points.

What satisfied Nelson and Zhao Dong was not the 50% shooting rate, but the 9 free throws.

The Madman restored his original style of play and made lightning-fast breakthroughs, causing good damage to the Wizards inside.

After the game, they returned to the locker room. After summing up, when the players went to take a shower, Nelson and Van Gundy came outside to chat.

"Don, our interior offense is insufficient. Can we increase Danny Fortson's offense? I think he still has some offensive potential that can be tapped." Van Gundy said.

Nelson shook his head and smiled at Van Gundy.

He is not looking down on Xiao Fan, but Xiao Fan has only learned defense from following Pat Riley, and has not yet learned about offense.

He smiled: "Fortson's role in the team is rebounding and defense. Like Ben, he has no offensive talent.

Offensive talent does not refer to scoring ability, but to forcing the opponent to change their defensive strategy through one's own offense.

Jeff, do you think Fordson has that potential? "

Xiao Fan was stunned for a moment. Is there anything else to say? Mr. Riley never taught me that!

Old Nelson continued: "Fortson can indeed score. He plays well in the second offense at the basket, which is better than Ben. He also has some near-basket and mid-range shooting abilities, but that's all. He can't score through his own offense. Pressure the opponent's defense.

Therefore, it is okay for him to score missed points, but we cannot arrange offensive tactics for him. That is meaningless. If we intentionally increase his shots, doing so will only reduce the quality of our overall offense. "

"I understand." Van Gundy nodded.

Nelson said: "I now have a new idea, let Fordson be on the bench, or play a pseudo-start, so that we can increase the inside defense and rebounding capabilities of the bench.

The main lineup allows Willis to play more. This veteran's strength is still there, his scoring ability is better than Fordson, he can be pulled out, and he can use the breakthroughs of Feilong and Madman. At the same time, he has good defensive rebounds, and at 213 centimeters tall, he has height. , he is our number one.

In the substitute lineup, Barkley was too injured and he couldn't do it in the paint. Let Fordson work in the paint and let Barkley take shots outside to see how well they work together. "

On February 14th, the Knicks flew to Philadelphia.

The Knicks started with four consecutive wins. With little change in the main lineup, the Knicks appeared to be in very good shape, ranking first in the Eastern Conference and first in the league.

But the Knicks did not dominate the league's first position, because the Spurs also won all four games, and the Philadelphia Digital Team also won all four games.

"The email team worked well together and scored 55 points together in the first four games. They were in brilliant form and showed off the strength of a championship team."

"The Spurs Twin Towers are unparalleled in dominance, and the Western Conference is invincible."

The Spurs' record with the Digital Team has been praised by the media.

In the past month, Lindsay has figured out Nike's situation and it's time to break up Nike.

On this day, the headquarters of Feilong Sports in Beijing announced that major shareholders Zhao Dong and Lindsay would inject US$2 billion into the company, which also symbolized that Feilong Sports was ready to swallow up Nike.

This news, under Lindsay's intention, quickly spread throughout North America.

Upon arriving in Philadelphia, the Knicks held a press conference at the hotel at the request of the media.

"Feilong, the digital team has won all four games. The email team averaged 55 points per game. They even have potential to be tapped. Do you still think that the digital team does not have championship-level strength?"

the Philadelphia Sports reporter asked proudly.

Zhao Dong smiled and said: "Maybe they have the strength of a championship team, but they don't have the strength to defeat the Knicks."

"Why?" the reporter said angrily.

Zhao Dong sneered and said: "Because I am naturally capable of restraining the postman, because I can defeat him on both offense and defense."

"..."

The reporter was speechless because he knew that Zhao Dong's words were not exaggerated.

"Feilong, the New York branch of Feilong Sports just announced that you and Miss Lindsay have invested US$2 billion in Feilong Sports. Is this true?"

asked a New York Times reporter.

"Wow, our boss is so rich."

Fordson next to him said to Ben next to him with an envious look.

"Yes."

Ben, who never showed any expression, also had an envious look on his face, and was moved by the two billion US dollars.

"It's true, the capital injection has been completed." Zhao Dong nodded.

"Ms. Lindsay once said in London in front of Michael Jordan that Nike would be broken up. So is Feilong Sports this capital injection to acquire Nike?" the reporter asked.

Zhao Dong did not stop talking and said directly: "Feilong Sports and Nike are competitors. Acquiring competitors is a normal business behavior. You don't need to over-interpret it."

"So Feilong Sports' acquisition of Nike is a public acquisition? Will other commercial organizations participate?" The reporter asked again.

"Storm Fund splits up Nike. According to legal regulations, other commercial institutions are allowed to participate in the bidding. Feilong Sports is only one of the buyers." Zhao Dongdao.

"That……"

The reporter was still waiting to ask about this matter again, and Zhao Dong said: "Well, if you want to know more about this matter, go to Feilong Sports or Storm Fund. I do not hold any management position in these two companies. position."

"Feilong, Iverson averaged 30.5 points in the first four games. As a draft pick of the same year, what do you think of him?"

asked a reporter from the Philadelphia Daily News.

"As the No. 1 pick, as an offensive guard, averaging 30+ per game is an excellent performance, and his efficiency is also good. He deserves praise." Zhao Dong said with a smile.

This compliment made local reporters very unhappy. A reporter from a local sports newspaper couldn't help shouting: "Feilong, your tone is condescending, as if you are commenting on a rookie. You are looking down on Allen. Is this inappropriate?"

Zhao Dong said in surprise: "Am I not qualified to evaluate Iverson? So why do you ask me to evaluate him? Are you Philadelphians digging a hole for me?"

"Nono, I have nothing to do with him, he doesn't represent me." The reporter from the Philadelphia Daily News quickly clarified.

"I'm talking about your tone." The local sports reporter emphasized.

"What's my tone? Condescending? Am I not qualified to be condescending in front of Iverson?"

Zhao Dong sneered and said: "I also have the same tone in front of Jordan. I have the qualification to win against him twice, and he is not as unhappy as you.

If you are not convinced, wait until Iverson beats me.

I want to tell you that this season I will defend the dynasty. Last season I won all the individual heavyweight honors, and Iverson was still working hard for the playoffs.

So, if you want Iverson to stand at the same level as me, and you want me to look at him levelly instead of looking down at him, then there is only one way to let him catch up with me in terms of hard honors.

Otherwise, you can only accept my attitude and tone towards him, and you are not qualified to have other options. "

"..."

The reporter was so angry that his nose was crooked. He turned around and said to the photographer companion next to him: "It's so annoying. How can he be so arrogant? He is just a Chinese."

"Remember his identity, he is a billionaire, his wife is a Wall Street tycoon, he is rich and powerful here. Say this loudly so that he can hear it, he will immediately ask his legal team I'll take you to the dock. Just paying the lawyer's fees will make you bankrupt."

My companion reminded me kindly.

"..."

The reporter was startled when he heard this and immediately shut up.

After the press conference, Nelson immediately held a tactical meeting.

Van Gundy first introduced the situation of the first four games of the Digital Team and said: "The basic tactic they used was to break points, not the pick-and-roll tactic that the Postman is good at. They are a completely different team from the Jazz.

Under normal circumstances, the postman pulls out and Iverson rushes in. The tactic is simple but effective.

The postman's style of play is still the same, using his elbow to clear the way to gain space for his shot.

As for Iverson, his breakthrough increased the changes in speed control and also increased the change of direction. He no longer relied entirely on speed breakthrough as before. "

"This way his breakthrough threat will be greater." Nelson added.

Van Gundy nodded and continued: "His pull-up jump shot is more stable than last season, and his mid-range shooting rate in the first four games reached 43%.

Specifically, the percentage is 35% near the basket, 41% from mid-range, and 47% from two-point distance. In addition, the three-point shooting percentage reached 34%. Including the basket shooting rate, his overall shooting rate reached 46%, which is a very efficient performance. "

Zhao Dong certainly doesn’t know the specific situation of Iverson in this period of his previous life, but he can be sure that in the area of ​​near-basket jumpers, Iverson will not exceed 30% in this period of his previous life, because this area will encounter insiders. The strong defensive pressure is the area where Iverson is least efficient.

In addition, the mid-range two-point score in the previous life was only 30%, but now it has reached 41%, an increase of 8 percentage points. This is a great improvement, and it means that Iverson has really become a lot stronger. Moreover, the three-pointer rate has also reached 34%, which should be better than the previous life.

Van Gundy added: “Their starting lineup has been fixed, let’s analyze it now.

Leading forward Theo Ratliff, 26 years old, is a defensive warrior with strong ability to block shots and protect the basket. 30% of the offense is two points, with a 43% shooting rate. The other offenses are concentrated at the basket and near the basket. The basket shooting rate can reach 40%, and the offense is not bad.

Not to mention the power forward, small forward George Lynch is a role player. Needless to say, Iverson just said it. Let me talk about point guard Eric Snow.

He was a second-round pick in 1995. He was traded to Philadelphia in the middle of last season to serve as a backup point guard. This season, he started all four games, and Iverson gave him the ball.

His offense is average and he doesn't have the three-point shooting that a point guard has. His main focus is on organizational ability. He averaged 6.5 assists per game in four games and has a strong ability to sort out offense.

It is precisely because of his presence that in these four games, Iverson's offensive rationality has exceeded last season, improving his offensive efficiency.

I won’t talk about the offensive end, but let’s talk about the defensive end.

Inside defense, Ratliff + Postman, this is a top defensive combination, and a defensive combination with strong offensive ability, their rebounding ability is also top-notch.

In terms of perimeter defense, point guard Snow averaged 6.5 assists per game in the first four games and performed very well.

Iverson's defense is a weakness, but he still works very hard on defense, especially the quick defense in transition between offense and defense.

Small forward, if Feilong plays this position, I think the number team's response tactic is foul tactics, using cheap role players and fringe players, and using constant fouls to reduce Feilong's efficiency.

Overall, the defense of the digital team is weak inside and outside. The second position is the biggest weakness. Feilong has more opportunities to hit Iverson in misplaced positions, so he can hit more. "

After Xiao Fan finished speaking, the old Knicks continued: "In this game, the focus is on the inside, and we must find ways to reduce their offensive efficiency inside.

On the offensive end, Feilong can freely choose between outside or inside. On the defensive end, the old method is to match the Flying Dragon against the Postman. Also, in this game, Fordson, you are on the bench. "

"ah?"

Danny Fortson immediately looked frustrated, without any concealment.

"But your playing time will not be less. You are a young man and you have to play more." Nelson said with a smile.

Fordson breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he has enough playing time, it's no problem whether he starts or not. If he plays more time on the bench, his data will definitely be better.

"Kevin, you start, pull out on the offensive end, and let the outside have room to break through." Nelson said.

"Okay, I understand." Willis nodded.

"Feilong, do you have anything to say?" Old Nelson asked.

Zhao Dong thought for a while and said: "Latrell, the defensive task tomorrow night is very heavy, you have to pay attention to this."

"Latrell, you have to pick up your defense. Our Knicks started with defense, and we must not lose our defense." Van Gundy immediately said to the madman.

"I know." The madman said quickly.

His defense is very strong, and he was selected to the league's best defensive second team in his sophomore year. However, sometimes he invests too much in the offensive end and ignores some of the defensive end.
