Chapter 259 Postman + Shark, the Most Terrifying Insider Combination in History?

"Congratulations to the Knicks for winning their fourth NBA championship."

"Congratulations to Feilong, who led the team to win the championship for the second time with a single core and successfully defended the championship."

"Congratulations to Don Nelson on winning a championship as a head coach."

"At the same time, congratulations to all the Knicks players. You successfully defended your title and your status will be greatly improved..."

In the crazy celebration, the voice of the on-site commentator kept ringing.

"Next season, next season it will be my turn to win the championship." Barkley shouted with anticipation and excitement.

"Charles, if I were you, I would choose a thicker thigh." O'Neal shouted next to him.

"Which one?" Buckley asked immediately.

"Pop!"

O'Neal leaned over and patted his thigh, saying proudly: "This is it."

Barkley sneered: "Feilong has only been here for two seasons and has already won two rings. What about you? You were sold cheaply by the Magic."

"..."

O'Neal opened his mouth and was speechless. He was instantly hit and his body was completely bruised and riddled with wounds.

"Remember, in the selection of the top 50 superstars in 1996, you were the only guy who was highly doubted." Barkley continued to complain.

"Shut up, do you want to fight?" O'Neal said angrily.

"..."

This time it was Barkley's turn to be stunned. What did this idiot just say? How could he have the guts to say such a thing?

"yeah!"

When Zhao Dong raised the O'Brien Cup, the audience cheered.

"Kacha kacha..."

The media’s lens shines brightly.

"Now, I declare..."

Stern held the Finals Most Valuable Player selection envelope and said with a smile: "In the 1997/98 Finals,

The MVP is..."

"Flying dragon!"

The whole audience drank violently at the same time.

In the TNT live broadcast booth, Bill Walton and Matt were doing the final commentary work.

Matt said: "In this game, Feilong played 44 minutes and scored 42 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists, 1 steal, 3 blocks, 3 turnovers and 4 fouls. His performance was still all-round, and he scored a 40+ triple-double."

Bill Walton said: "In the four-game series of the finals, Feilong averaged 38 minutes per game, 34 points, 11 rebounds, 10.5 assists, 2 steals, 4 blocks, 2.5 turnovers and 3.5 fouls per game.

Although the scoring was not too violent, this was because the Jazz were vulnerable, which affected his playing time. "

Bill Walton then said excitedly: "He made history in this finals. In the four-game series, he had four triple-doubles. This is a record that has never been achieved in the history of the NBA."

Matt continued: "Feilong has won the regular season MVP, scoring champion, DPOY, and All-Star AMVP, double team, and now FMVP this season. He has collected all the heavyweight honors this season. "

"This is another record, because even Jordan has never won these six honors at the same time in any season." Bill Walton shouted.

"Jordan won both the MVP and FMVP in the 90/91 and 91/92 seasons, as well as the scoring champion and double team, but he did not have AMVP and DPOY." Bill Walton laughed.

In the CCTV live broadcast, Zhang Liyi finally said: "Now that the season is finally over, the trade window will open after the draft, and the Knicks will also usher in a period of lineup cleaning. I hope they can re-form a competitive lineup. .”

"There is no good news in the labor negotiations. It won't really be suspended, right?" Sun Zhenping said with a smile.

"That's hard to say, it's not like there has never been a shutdown. If there is a real shutdown, the team's transactions will not be able to attack." Zhang Li said with a smile.

After congratulating each other on the court for nearly an hour, Zhao Dong returned to the locker room, took a shower, and attended the press conference.

The championship press conference was extremely grand. Media from all walks of life packed the hall that could accommodate hundreds of people. As the players entered, the flashlights flashed crazily.

On the other side, the Jazz's post-game press conference was extremely bleak, with almost no one paying attention.

After the press conference, the Knicks celebrated all night long until dawn.

The next day, June 10, at 9 a.m. in New York, in the hotel where Jazz was staying, Karl Malone, who had just woken up, was in a daze holding his cell phone.

Just now, Adi notified him to apply for a trade from Jazz himself.

Adi also told him to move him to the Lakers and build a championship-winning lineup for him there.

"Lakers?"

Karl Malone's fists clenched.

If they go to the Lakers and join forces with O'Neal, who else in this league will be their opponent? They can crush the Chinese Feilong to death under the basket.

However, asking him to leave the Jazz or apply for a trade himself makes him a traitor. How could he do that?

The Jazz are his home team. He has been there for thirteen seasons. He has contributed everything to the Jazz. He cannot betray the Jazz.

However, he really wanted to defeat Zhao Dong, he wanted it too much.

He turned around and looked at John Stockton on the bed next to him. What would this old guy do if he knew he was going to be a traitor?

"John, I'm sorry."

He silently apologized to John Stockton in his mind and then woke him up.

"Karl, why did you wake me up so early?" Stockton asked in confusion after looking at the time.

He drank some wine last night due to frustration and went to bed very late. Now that he had slept through it, he was not in good spirits and had a headache.

"John, there's something..."

After hesitating for a while, Karl Malone finally told the story.

"What?"

After Stockton heard the news that the postman was going to the Lakers, he was at a loss. Even if the postman talked to him, there was no reaction.

"John?"

Karl Malone shouted.

"Are you crazy?"

John Stockton finally came to his senses and yelled at the postman: "If you go to the Lakers, what will the team do? So what if it's Adidas? They are just sponsors, why should they interfere in the team's transactions? "

"John, calm down, you know I can't say no to Adi." Karl Malone explained.

"What about me? I'm 38 years old. What will I do if you leave?" John Stockton asked crazily.

"John, I said, calm down."

Karl Malone tried to persuade him, but still insisted: "I can't refuse Adi, and besides, our team...can't beat that bastard."

John Stockton was stunned and sat down in a daze. Instead of sitting on the sofa, he sat directly on the floor.

"John?"

Karl Malone quickly pulled up.

"Go away, you traitor!"

Stockton pushed Malone hard and fell back to the floor. He sat on the ground and shouted nervously at Malone: ​​"I want to retire, retire, retire!"

"John, are you crazy? You're not old yet, you can still play for several more years."

Karl Malone was anxious and quickly advised: "Either you also apply for a trade and go to a strong team, such as the Spurs? Their interior twin towers are very strong, not much weaker than O'Neal and I. They must be capable of competing for the championship. .”

"I would rather not win a championship than leave the Jazz." Stockton said every word while staring at the postman.

At 11 o'clock, the Jazz returned to Salt Lake City.

Of course, when the season is over, some players will leave the team directly and stay in New York to enjoy themselves.

From the hotel to the plane, team general managers Ham and Jerry Sloan realized something was wrong, because the brothers Karl Malone and John Stockton were cold-faced, hadn't said a word, and were far away.

When they got on the plane, they didn't sit together. The postman sat in the front, and the postman sat directly in the back.

With them like this, other teammates wouldn't dare sit with them.

Sloan asked other people, but they didn't know the reason, so he came over to Karl Malone first, sat down and asked in a low voice: "Karl, why did you mess with John?"

"I?"

The postman was speechless. He glanced at Coach Sloan and hesitated for a long time before saying, "Jerry, I have a decision. I hope the team can understand me."

When Jerry Sloan heard this, he immediately felt an unpleasant feeling in his heart.

"I, I hope, the team trades me." The postman finally said the words.

"What, you want to trade and leave the team?" Jerry Sloan was shocked.

He looked back at John Stockton at the back, and finally understood why these two people were like this.

Everyone was stunned, including General Manager Ham.

Ham knew that the team was finished. Once the postman left, the Jazz would collapse and fall into a long rebuilding process.

But he was a professional manager, so he immediately forced himself to calm down and began to calculate the pros and cons of this matter.

The postman only has one year left on his contract and an annual salary of 6 million. Even if he is forced to keep him, he will leave after next season, so it is useless to keep him.

On the contrary, now is the best trading opportunity. Using the postman to exchange for some reconstruction chips can shorten the reconstruction time.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the plane arrived in Salt Lake City. As soon as he returned to the headquarters and disbanded the team, he was called to the office by owner Larry Miller.

"Ham, get ready, trade the Postman, he is going to the Lakers." Larry Miller said.

"Lakers?"

Ham was startled, then immediately realized what he was doing and asked hurriedly: "Boss, is this Adi's plan?"

Larry Miller nodded and said: "The postman wants to win against Feilong. He is determined. We must take advantage of this opportunity to get more chips."

"I see."

Nodding, Ham said: "But the Lakers don't have the chips we want. This deal requires multiple parties."

"Let the Lakers and Eddie have the headache, you just need to come up with a chip list that suits us." Larry Miller said.

"Okay, I'll get ready right away." Ham said.

Larry Miller thought for a while and said: "Because of the emergence of Feilong Sports and the sudden emergence of Feilong, brands such as Adidas and Nike reacted very fiercely and made big moves. It is very likely that there will be several super teams in the league last season." , our reconstruction plan can be longer-term and get more draft picks. If the chips are not enough, John... can also be traded."

Ham was shocked and nodded: "I understand, boss."

While the Knicks are still celebrating, other teams are already preparing for trades and the draft soon.

A day later, the celebration ended and the Knicks front office got busy.

That afternoon, Zhao Dong invited all his teammates to come to his house for dinner. It was a private celebration party and a farewell to his departing teammates.

"Charles, Ringer said yesterday that the Raptors have invited you, are you sure?" Zhao Dong asked.

"I verbally agreed, 25 million U.S. dollars for three years, 11 million U.S. dollars next season, and 7 million U.S. dollars each for the next two seasons. I think it's good. I can also earn an annual salary of tens of millions. Two championships. Being a main member gives me a lot of points." Oakley said with a smile.

"Then I wish you a happy stay in the Raptors. I believe you will become the leader of the locker room. Their locker room still lacks a big brother." Zhao Dong smiled.

"I guess so, otherwise who would go there?" Oakley laughed.

"Alan, which team do you want to go to?" Zhao Dong asked Houston next to him.

"Boss, I got two rings with you. Now I have no pursuit of the championship. I just want to go to a weak team to see if I can be selected as an All-Star." Houston smiled.

"Yes, it is right to pursue it. I wish you success. In addition, you can ask your agent to talk to the management." Zhao Dong smiled.

Next, he talked with several teammates who were leaving.

That night, he opened the system and started processing the championship rewards.

The last quality is to break through the limits of the human body, as well as ten quality points.

In terms of quality, it has been determined a long time ago that the strength of the lower limbs should be improved, and then the speed should be improved.

He used 4 quality points to improve his lower limb strength from level 93 to level 95, and his overall strength reached 93↑.

Then he used the last 6 quality points to increase the speed from level 92 to level 95.

The improvement in lower body strength not only increased his speed to a super-class level, but also increased his low-post ability, allowing him to stand more firmly.

At the same time, his explosive power has also improved a lot, reaching a more terrifying state. This is also his main purpose of improving these two qualities.

But he has already considered the last quality of breaking through the limits.

He chose physical fitness.

Physical fitness is a foundation that allows him to maintain a better competitive state than others until the last moment.

Physical fitness: Injury resistance 100, physical fitness 100, jumping 98, coordination 96, speed 95, balance 91, flexibility 95, strength 93↑

The strength of the upper body has been improved by one level in boxing training. Without increasing weight, it can be improved in the future through fat loss and muscle gain training. It has not reached its limit at present.

Now his overall physical fitness is really strong.

On the 11th, Dayao boarded a plane to fly to China, while Da Zhi stayed to prepare for the draft.

"Feilong, Michael Tyson contacted me. He asked you if you want to fight him again?" In the afternoon, Wells called.

"Find me some professional boxing coaches and trainers." Zhao Dong said.

"OK."

Wells added: "But Feilong, Tyson is the most destructive and terrifying world professional boxing champion. Are you sure?"

Zhao Dong smiled and said: "If I fight with him, I will definitely get beaten, but in the end who will win and who loses, it's hard to say. Just forget about this and just do your thing."

Wells said: "Feilong, Tyson is not in a very good situation right now. Some states do not accept his matches. If he comes to box with you, it must be to restore his influence. It is impossible to have a secret private fight like the postman.

This boxing match should be influential all over the world. We must cooperate with professional boxing agents. Promotion and publicity are also indispensable. We may need more time to prepare. "

"It can be done within this year. I think the league is likely to be suspended." Zhao Dong said.

"Really?" Wells said in surprise.

He thought for a while and said: "If there is a shutdown, you will have more time for training, which is actually a good thing."

"By the way, how will the alliance deal with it?" he asked again.

"Let's make it clear to the league and the Knicks that my temporary retirement will not have a bad impact on the league."

Zhao Dong thought for a moment and then said.

"That can only be like this." Wells said.

He smiled bitterly and said, "But if you announce your retirement, the impact will be big enough."

Zhao Dong laughed and said: "Then I can't control it. Anyway, it's the offseason, it's nothing important, and it won't affect the ratings."

At this time, at the Lakers headquarters, Jerry West was crazy with joy, as well as owner Jerry Buss.

Adidas and Reebok are joining forces to promote the Postman deal, and the Lakers will form the most terrifying inside organization in history.

"The Jazz have relented. Now we need to complete a multi-party transaction and meet the Jazz's requirements to get Karl Malone. This is really exciting."

West said excitedly.

"A great deal, go for it." Bass said excitedly.

With the joint support of Reebok and Adidas, what is he afraid of?

"In addition, Adidas asked Kobe to get a starting position next season, and I agreed. He already has the strength to enter the starting lineup." West smiled.

"You and the coaching staff decide this." Bass smiled.

Nodding, West decided to fire Harris and find another better head coach.

Originally, he was interested in Phil Jackson, who was about to leave the Bulls, and contacted him many times, but in the end Jackson chose to stay in Chicago, which disappointed him.

Now, one of his goals is Jerry Sloan, and the other one is Hubie Brown, the commentator of ABC and the old coach of the league. In addition, the old coach K of Duke University is also his goal.

Zhao Dong and Lindsay are making plans for the offseason. After the draft, they will return to China first, deal with the issues of Feilong Sports' senior management, expand the domestic training base, and then participate in the Men's Basketball World Championships in mid-August. Finally, A belated honeymoon trip.

Zhao Dong knew that in this year's World Championships, NBA stars refused to participate due to labor negotiations. As a result, this World Championships lost its appeal and tickets could not be sold. In the end, Yugoslavia won the championship, Russia was the runner-up, and the United States team was eliminated by Russia. Only finished third.

When it comes to the Chinese’s hope of winning medals, this year is really their best chance.
