Chapter 173: Ewing Reimbursed For The Season

"Michael, the team needs to trade, do you agree?" Klaus spoke first, getting straight to the point.

"Yes, I agree with that. But Coach Pippen and Phil Jackson shouldn't be the target of your purge, I always insist on that. They are both capable people. They built a dynasty with me. You can't Get rid of them," Jordan insisted.

Klaus nodded, and used this action to comfort Jordan, who was a little excited, and said, "Have you carefully analyzed the reasons for losing the Eastern Conference Finals?"

Jordan fell silent.

The third position is the main one. In the matchup with Zhao Dong, Pippen is at a comprehensive disadvantage on both offense and defense.

"Michael, we must have a stronger small forward, and it is impossible for Pippen to play as a substitute. He cannot accept it. We can only choose to trade him. In addition, we don't have enough bargaining chips if we don't trade him." Rouse said.

"You traded him, who will fight in our organization?" Jordan said coldly.

"But he didn't assume the responsibilities of the organization in the East Finals," Klaus said.

Jordan suffocated, and at this time Krause said again: "We are strengthening the team now, and the only goal can only be the Knicks. Pippen has already used one series and several regular season games to prove that he can't beat the Dragons. We It must be strengthened. Do you want to lose to Feilong again?"

Jordan had a sense of powerlessness, which he rarely felt, but Zhao Dong's performance in the Eastern Conference Finals made him feel this feeling.

He really didn't want to trade Pippen, that was his old buddy, but he didn't want to lose to Zhao Dong again, absolutely not.

When he thought of Zhao Dong's provocative and satirical words, his head ached.

"Go on," he said helplessly.

Krause laughed. Jordan's attitude means that he is not too resistant to trading Pippen.

He said: "Phil Jackson uses Pippen to organize the offense. This is indeed a good style of play. But now we have searched in the entire league, and there is no guy who can reach the level of the dragon, so my idea is to let the organization The function goes back to the No. 1 position. We can't find a good enough small forward, so we need to find a good enough point guard.

That way, our ball doesn't face the dragon all the time. When our possession of the ball returns to the No. 1 position, it is impossible for Feilong to defend our point guard, right? "

Jordan heard the idea,

It makes sense.

There are very few small forwards in the organization, and Pippen and Zhao Dong are currently playing. If you can't find such a person, then find a genuine point guard, which can also solve the Bulls' organizational problems.

Seeing that Jordan did not object, Klaus was even more delighted, and said: "Michael, there is still one problem in this Eastern Conference finals. Phil Jackson has never been able to play a threatening triangle offense. You have never had a one-on-one chance. This is also the reason why I want to clean the coaching staff, I am for your sake, his tactics are no longer suitable for you."

"I believe in Phil. His coaching has made the Bulls dynasty. In this Eastern Conference finals, we just lost at the third position. Jerry, I hope you don't do that."

Mentioning Phil Jackson, Jordan's expression turned cold again.

But Klaus was not unhappy. He was even happier when he heard what Jordan said.

From Jordan's words, he has no objection to trading Pippen at all, so his plan has been half successful.

"However, Michael, what I just said is true. If he can solve these problems, I think you can score 50+ per game in the Eastern Conference Finals, and you will be even greater." Krause said again.

"No, no, I don't think so. Losing the Eastern Conference finals is a problem with our lineup, not a problem with the coach." Jordan insisted.

"Michael, you should believe me. I brought him to Chicago. I think he can help the Bulls. But now he can't keep up with the situation. He can't stop the Knicks' offense. He always has a triangle strategy. He won't do anything but this, you keep him, it will delay you. Think about your age, Michael, take the last chance, don't waste your prime, if it is wasted, you will chase after it not coming back."

Klaus persuaded earnestly.

Jordan is somewhat moved by the talk. He is not young, he is 34 years old. To be honest, he knows that his physical fitness has begun to decline this year. The reason why he played the best performance in the Eastern Conference Finals is that Because there is a Zhao Dong provoking him.

He can maintain his current state for a few more seasons, he himself does not know.

This time he was eliminated by the Knicks and the Second Dynasty was interrupted, which made him very disappointed with the Bulls' lineup. Under the disappointment, the change of mentality for change has become unstoppable.

The two chatted for two hours, each with its own purpose.

Jordan wants to use Krause's ability to help him strengthen the team.

Klaus wants to get Jordan's support and successfully complete the purpose of cleaning the team without causing the team to collapse.

He wants to purge Pippen, because he is really not optimistic about Pippen's matchup with Zhao Dong, but purge Phil Jackson, it is not purely a matter of Jackson's ability as he said, but that Jackson is getting stronger and stronger in the team , Has affected his authority and control of the team.

Especially under the combination of Jordan and Jackson, his control over the Bulls has become weaker and weaker.

But in the end, Jordan never agreed to let him clean Phil Jackson, which made him a little bit wrong.

They made an appointment for a second interview and then concluded this session.

In the evening, Zhao Dong returned to the hotel.

"Congratulations to the host, you have completed the dynasty-level sniper mission of the basketball god, you can choose any skill from Jordan's basketball skills, you can choose to upgrade any of your own skills to the full level, and you can choose a physical quality Break through the limits of the human body and upgrade to level 100."

"Cool!"

Zhao Dong began to consider which two technologies to choose to meet his needs.

The Jazz will be played in the next finals. What skills does he need to enhance?

"Wait, let's see the mission first."

He put aside the matter of picking skills and started the finals mission first.

Finals sniper mission: Please host the single-core team to defeat the Jazz, win the NBA championship in the 1996-97 season, and win the FMVP.

Task rewards: 1. The host can choose a physical quality to break through the limit of the human body and upgrade to level 100; 2. The host will get a pair of never-wearing basketball shoes presented by the system, and related 8,200 patented technical materials.

"Fuck, system, you're not giving me money, you're giving me an endless gold mine!" Zhao Dong was ecstatic.

He was thinking of building a sports brand by himself, and basketball shoes are big, so this reward came too timely.

However, he noticed the word single-core. Is this the system's prediction that Ewing will not perform well in the finals? Or will it hurt?

This made him feel a little bad, as if something was going to happen.

"System, I choose the ability to resist injuries and break through the limits of the human body." Putting down these thoughts, Zhao Dong then made the first choice.

This quality is too critical. Injury is the number one enemy of an athlete. He doesn't even need to consider the chance to improve to 100.

After the promotion, he didn't feel much. He asked, "System, how does my current injury resistance quality compare with that time-space hammer?"

"The host just broke through the limits of the human body, and the qualities of the hammer belong to non-human beings," the system said.

Zhao Dong let out another groan, expressing his surprise.

Next, he began to think about what technology he wanted from Jordan.

A fadeaway jumper?

Or an upgraded version of the turnaround jumper?

You can also turn around and step back for a jump shot.

"If I choose to turn to back-and-forth techniques such as backward jumpers, my core strength is 91, and my flexibility and balance may not be up to standard. After coverage, I may not reach the level of Jordan's peak period. It would be a waste of opportunity. But I Now I need those post-ups to increase my offensive ability in double-teams."

After repeated considerations, he decided to upgrade one of his skills to the full level first.

For himself, he will definitely not choose those high-level technologies, but only choose low-level technologies, so that the benefits can be maximized.

For example, a turnaround jumper that is only level 50.

At this point, he found a question that he had ignored, and asked quickly: "System, if I upgrade the turnaround jumper, can I directly upgrade it to the full level?"

"No, the host can wait until the relevant quality reaches the standard before upgrading." The system said.

"What are the relevant qualities? What level do you want to upgrade to?" he asked.

"Both flexibility and balance need to reach first-class quality, and core strength needs to reach super-class quality, which can lift the technical improvement restrictions of fadeaway jumper and turnaround jumper jumper." System said.

"Understood."

The requirements are not high, these two qualities have reached level 86, as long as 8 quality points can be upgraded to first-class quality, and the core strength reaches 8 super-first-class qualities, but he can't do it now.

In other words, turning around and leaning back, which are extremely physical-testing techniques, he can't choose now, including one of Jordan's techniques.

He decided to keep Jordan's skills first, and then choose after improving his quality next season. He has to decide on his own skills now.

The closer to the basket, the higher the shooting rate. He has to choose a skill that does not require too much quality, but is efficient enough, and the current level is very low.

Small hooks, drop shots, board jumpers, and straight-arm jumpers are all skills that meet his requirements.

He thought of Duncan, who was about to enter the draft. This guy's unpretentious playing skills have allowed him to maintain a high efficiency in the low position for 20 years. Should he choose this skill?

Hitting the board, compared with small hooks and small throws, should have a higher hit rate, but the requirements for the position of the shot are also higher.

He is not Duncan. A small forward is different from a power forward. He is an organizational small forward. His position will not be fixed in the low post. If he chooses to play the board, his shooting may be affected to a certain extent.

He doesn't want to choose the small hook either. He wants to choose the drop shot. This technique has a wider offensive range and can be used in sports. It is better than the small hook. The small hook requires a higher height of the shot. He is inside After all, it's a little shorter.

"System, I choose to lift and throw..."

But he stopped when he reached the point of his mouth, and asked quickly: "I haven't practiced the sky hook before, can I improve this technique?"

"No, the host's shot is not high enough. Even if the balance and other qualities meet the standards, the skyhook cannot be upgraded to the full level." The system said.

"Does this mean that I'm short? Then my little hook and throw can't be raised to the full level?" He asked again.

"Yes, small hooks and throws also require top-notch balance." The system said.

"Fuck, what else should I choose? It's a jump shot on the board, shouldn't this be necessary?"

"Rebound shooting can be upgraded to the full level."

"Keep it, Ewing may be injured next season, I will carry the Knicks alone, just to improve my strength."

Zhao Dong didn't want to improve his playing at all, so it's better to leave this skill to Duncan to shine.

In fact, he is on the outside now, and he doesn't want to improve his low-post skills. Outside skills are more useful. He waits to improve his throwing or other skills in the future.

"It's cool, with this effect, I can maintain a good state until I'm forty." Zhao Dong laughed.

He checked the time, and at eight o'clock in the evening, he turned on the TV and tuned to the ESPN channel.

Tonight is the day of the NBA draft lottery. He wants to see if the Spurs are lucky enough to win the No. 1 pick.

An hour later, the lottery ended, and the Spurs, who had been underwhelming for a season, got their wish and won the No. 1 lottery.

"Hehe, the bull's dynasty sniper mission is done, the next one is the Spurs, Admiral, I think you should come and hug my thigh."

Seeing that history has not changed, Zhao Dong couldn't help complaining.

The Spurs won the championship in the 1998-99 season, and then the OK Dynasty. These are all targets to be sniped.

On the 2nd, Zhao Dong didn't get up until 8:00 in the morning, and went to bed at 10:00 last night. He slept for 10 hours and slept well.

After breakfast, I took a rest for a while, went to the gym for some exercise, and when I got back to my room at 10 o'clock, my phone rang.

"What?"

It was Neil Grant who called and told him the very bad news. Ewing slipped and fell in the shower at 1 am last night, hurt his knee, tore his cruciate ligament, and was reimbursed for the finals.

"Fuck, system, your predictions are so accurate! Ewing, you bastard, what the hell are you taking a shower in the middle of the night? You deserve it for not being able to win the championship... Ah bah, no, you deserve it Just lie in bed and watch us win the championship."

He can be sure that that idiot Ewing didn't do a good job last night, otherwise he would never have taken a shower until one o'clock in the morning.

He didn't sympathize with Ewing's crap at all. He pushed him out at the beginning, but then he chose to back down for the sake of the championship. The reimbursement for this injury should be God's decision. He is not allowed to win the championship with a dual-core status. That gold content is too low.

He is not too worried about the Jazz. Although the Jazz is also a dual-core duo, their strength is not as good as the Knicks. Now that Ewing is lost, the Knicks may not lose.

What makes the Jazz so good, Stockton's organization, Malone's defense and offense, these are the two most important points.

But he has Stockton's playmaking talent, while also being able to match Malone and limit him.

Where is Malone so good? Defensive and efficient mid-range shooting, and rebounding.

In terms of rebounding ability, he is better than Malone.

In defense, he is a few gears faster than Ma Long, and the difference between a sports car and a tractor is that Ma Long can't defend him at all.

Offensively, Malone relies on the iron elbow to open the way to gain shooting space, so that he can have his high efficiency, but he doesn't fear the opponent's iron elbow at all. Malone doesn't have enough shooting space, so what about high efficiency?

As long as the postman Malone is blown up on both ends of the offense and defense, the Jazz will die at least 70%, and a Stockton can't turn the sky.

"Charles, didn't Ewing sleep at home last night?" He immediately called Oakley.

"Damn guy, he's sleeping at home and has great hopes of winning the championship. He's too excited to control his crotch." Oakley cursed.

"My darling, you can play with your wife until midnight, you have a good relationship." Zhao Dong complained.

"Puchi, haha, Feilong, you bastard, haha..." Oakley, who was a little sad, couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing.
