Chapter 355: The Debut of the Nets Is the Peak

Ten minutes later, the game started.

O'Neal won the jump ball and the Lakers attacked first.

O'Neal squeezed toward the basket. His current weight has exceeded 140 kilograms and reached 320 pounds, which is almost 145 kilograms.

Dayao has a tonnage of 125 kilograms. He couldn't carry it, but he didn't carry it to his death. After pushing it first, he immediately took a side defense to interfere with O'Neal's ball.

O'Neal carried Dayao with his left hand and caught the ball with one hand with his right hand. He could have used a hook to attack, but he wanted to teach Dayao a lesson, so he immediately leaned over to dribble and continued to push inward.

Dayao still did not hold on and retreated to the reasonable collision area.

At this time, O'Neal stood up to hit the basket, and Dayao jumped up to block the shot with both hands.

"boom!"

Under the huge tonnage, Dayao was knocked away and staggered back, while O'Neal smashed the rim.

"oh!"

The whole audience screamed because the ball was smashed away.

"Dayao is on good defense!"

On the sidelines, Yao's father and Yao's mother immediately applauded their son.

They also came from New Jersey to cheer for Dayao in his son's first professional game.

After Dayao stood firm, he clenched his fists excitedly, and then strode towards the frontcourt. His steps were long and his speed seemed very fast, not even slower than the outside line.

The ball just now may not be counted as a block in terms of statistics, but he touched the ball and it was considered a successful defense.

"What a beautiful goal. Yao blocked the Sharks for the first time on defense. It's so beautiful!" Su Qun shouted excitedly in the CCTV live broadcast booth.

"Well done to Dayao! Marbury rushed in and grabbed the ball, and now the Nets attack." Zhang Li said with a smile.

Marbury advanced to the frontcourt. At this time, Dayao caught up from behind and took the initiative to set a pick-and-roll for him in the high post. He immediately broke through with the ball from behind Dayao and entered the paint area.

When he got to the basket and met O'Neal and Big Ben, Marbury saw that there was no chance, so he pulled to the left wing. At this time, Dayao asked him for the ball in the high post, and he passed the ball.

Dayao caught the ball at the free throw line,

O'Neal could only watch from the basket. Big Ben defended him, but he couldn't stop Yao from taking action.

"High jump shot? Hit! Dayao made his first career shot." Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.

"Haha, Dayao's high jump shot is from this height. Who can guard against it?" Su Qun said excitedly.

Looking back, O'Neal once again crushed Yao to the basket, turned around and smashed the basket with one hand, and scored a goal over Yao's head.

"Oh, the Shark is the No. 1 pick! Feilong, did you see it? The Shark is torturing your people." The on-site commentator roared excitedly.

"Boy, welcome to the NBA!"

The successful shark spat trash talk at Dayao with a fat face.

Dayao let out a sullen breath. He really couldn't guard against the Shark's level of attack at the basket. The difference in tonnage was too big.

Hearing the other party's trash talk, he had no reaction and only said in English: "Sorry, Shark, I don't understand English."

"..."

O'Neal's mouth opened wide. Don't you speak English? Or what I just said was not English?

Coming to the offensive end, this time Yao positioned himself low on the left wing, with O'Neal defending.

Dayao did not have a strong position. He was one step away from the paint area and asked Marbury for the ball at the top of the arc.

"Oh, Marbury passed the ball." Zhang Li said.

Dayao received the ball without dribbling, because he was still one step away from the paint area. O'Neal's defense was not tight and he did not hit him. After receiving the ball, he immediately turned around and shot a jumper, with a backward angle.

"..."

O'Neal didn't react at all, and his mouth opened wide when he saw Dayao make a turnaround and fadeaway jumper over his head.

"Uh-huh!"

With a splash of water, Dayao hit a mid-range turnaround jumper from nearly five meters away.

After making this shot, Yao burst into laughter at O'Neal.

"Ha ha……"

In New York, Zhao Dong saw ABC giving a close-up of O'Neal, and his confused look was really laughable.

He can be sure that with O'Neal's current defensive attitude, it is impossible to guard Dayao to death.

Dayao's basic skills and physical fitness in this life are better than those in his previous life. His pace is very flexible and his jump shooting ability is very high. He can completely pull out, even to the three-point line. O'Neal can't follow him at all, and he can't keep up. I would like to follow you out.

If Dayao uses a spread-out style to beat O'Neal, both the Sharks and the Lakers will be very uncomfortable.

Once he pulls out of the paint area, unless O'Neal follows up, no matter who switches defense, it will be a huge mismatch. They will hit one after another, and the big Ben who is not tall enough will not be able to guard him.

At the same time, Yao's offense in the low post under the basket is equally powerful, and O'Neal can't even think of guarding such a killer turnaround and fadeaway jump shot.

Of course, it is also very difficult for Dayao to guard O'Neal.

At the Staples Center, in front of the home team's bench, the new Lakers head coach Phil Jackson looked at Yao and couldn't help but think of Zhao Dong.

He thought of the Bulls that were destroyed by Zhao Dong, which broke Jordan's dream of establishing a second dynasty and forced him to leave the Bulls.

But now that he has come to the Lakers, there are Sharks here, the rising star Kobe Bryant, the iron-blooded center Ben, and Glenn Rice. He believes that this season, he will not fail again.

But now, this Chinese Yao, who is said to have been brought out by Feilong, is also giving him a headache.

A minute later, Dayao once again pulled out of the paint area. O'Neal did not follow, and Dayao made another mid-range shot.

In the first three minutes, he made three of three shots and scored 6 points, showing off the style of the No. 1 draft pick.

Phil Jackson called a timeout and said to O'Neal: "Shaq, now I need your defense. You have to keep up with Yao. Only your height can defend him. Leave the basket to Ben."

O'Neal was completely unwilling. What he wanted was to attack and use his offense at the basket to defeat all opponents, not defense.

Phil Jackson continued: "Don't you want to beat Feilong? Feilong is also at the fifth position this season. His pulling ability is better than China's Yao. Do you want to watch him shoot you to death outside?"

"All right."

O'Neill nodded helplessly.

Next, because O'Neal invested more energy on the defensive end, Dayao's offense was restricted and his efficiency began to decline.

But O'Neal still couldn't guard against all of Dayao's attacks. Dayao used various offensive methods in the low post, including hook shots, jump shots, even rebounds, turn jump shots, and even after entering the basket, he used his pace to mobilize O'Neal. Make dunks.

Marbury did what he said. Dayao made 10 of 15 shots and 6 of 6 free throws. He scored 26 points and completed his professional debut perfectly.

The shooting rate is over 60%. Of course, this is because Dayao is so strong in pulling out, and even pulls up to the three-point line later. O'Neal sometimes does not follow up.

However, the Nets lost. The Sharks failed to guard Dayao, so they defeated Dayao on the offensive end. He scored 38 points in the game and dunked Dayao three times. Dayao was beaten by him.

But he also suffered a big blow from Dayao later.

"I won."

laughed Whoopi Brown.

Cook smiled and said: "Yes, Marbury played very selflessly tonight, so you choose the restaurant."

On the sidelines, the best player of the game, Shark O'Neal, was interviewed on the spot.

"Shark, congratulations, you beat this year's No. 1 pick." A reporter said.

"That's easy." O'Neill said proudly.

"Do you have any comments on Yao, the number one pick?" a reporter asked.

"He is not a parallel import, which is impressive." O'Neill said.

"What is your deepest impression of him?" the reporter asked again.

"Well……"

O'Neill hesitated, as if he didn't want to answer the question.

"Is it a free throw?" the reporter asked himself.

"I know you still ask?" O'Neill said angrily.

Tonight he made 3 of 11 free throws, which is a pitifully low shooting rate. Compared with Dayao's 6 of 6 free throws, it is a world of difference.

"Haha..." The people around laughed.

Zhao Dong is still very satisfied with Dayao's performance tonight. It is indeed much better than Dayao who just joined the NBA in his previous life. Dayao was 23 years old at that time and is only 19 years old now.

With such a performance, the media can't even say a word "no".

"China's little giant, another Tim Duncan!" New York Times.

"New Jersey's top super center is born!" New Jersey Daily.

"Is Yao, the No. 1 pick, at his peak when he debuts? No, he still needs to perform well throughout his rookie season." Los Angeles Times.

Sure enough, the next day, almost all the media praised Dayao's performance.

Even if there are doubts, it is not that he doubts his performance last night, but that he still needs continued performance to prove that he has a peak rookie season.

On the 4th, the Knicks welcomed the Cavaliers at home.

The Cavaliers still have Rain Man Shawn Kemp as the core. With the gradual decline of Rain Man, the Cavaliers have also embarked on the road of reconstruction.

At night, the Knicks won their second consecutive victory.

Nelson still played a three-back tactic, with a fast offensive and defensive rhythm. The proportion of outside attacks began to increase, favoring small ball tactics.

In this game, the Knicks scored 112 points, showing their strong offensive capabilities. The three guards teamed up to score 54 points.

That night, the Knicks flew to Chicago and will play the Bulls back-to-back tomorrow.

When he arrived in Chicago, Zhao Dong didn't get up until almost noon. Just when the bus called him, he said he would treat him to lunch and invited Oakley.

Half an hour later, the bus drove a Ford pickup truck to the hotel where the Knicks were staying.

"Hey, Charles, Larry took his money to travel around the world, why don't you retire?" Zhao Dongxian greeted Oakley.

"Oh, he has more capital than me. He is Mr. Billionaire. With you, he earns several times more than me. He is a billionaire, but I am not yet. I have to complete this contract before I can spend money. "

Oakley said with a smile.

"How are you, here?" Zhao Dong asked the bus after getting on the bus.

"It's okay, not bad." Daba smiled.

The Bulls have played two regular season games. Bus can average 8.7 minutes of playing time per game. His statistics are not very good, 2.3 points and 2.1 rebounds. There are not many opportunities on the offensive end.

Zhao Dong believes that Daba's strength has improved compared to the previous life. Although it is not as improved as Da Zhi and Dayao in this life, it should be more than this performance. The main reason is that he just joined the team and did not get many opportunities.

The Bulls this season are still very good. Oakley is still strong and can play 30 minutes per game. Rasheed Wallace is starting to reach his peak. There is also the combination of Kidd + Tracy McGrady + Mobley on the outside. These three The outside lines are becoming more and more mature, and the Bulls even still have the strength to compete for the championship.

But if they want to win a championship, this Bulls team is still a little green. Neither Tracy McGrady nor Mobley have fully grown up.

And when they grow up, Oakley is already old, and there will be a missing piece inside. By then, the lineup will have to be strengthened.

Oakley said: "The season has just started and there are only two games. Bart should have more and more opportunities."

Zhao Dong nodded and said, "Charles, I heard your coach is not very good."

Oakley shrugged and said, "College coaches are not used to the NBA style."

After eating a steak, drinking a glass of red wine, and chatting for a long time, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon when Zhao Dong returned to the hotel.

He opened his laptop and paid attention to the trend of the US stock market. It continued to decline as it had the previous two days, showing a unilateral downward trend.

Including today, four trading days, it has fallen 13.5%, and the value of the US stock market has evaporated by two trillion US dollars.

In the past two days, bilateral negotiations have continued, and the United States' attitude remains tough, but China has insisted on certain bottom lines and will not let go, especially in the financial area.

At 4:30, the U.S. stock market closed, falling 2.7% throughout the day. The Nasdaq index closed at 4,575 points. This time, it has dropped 714 points from its peak of 5,289 points.

At five o'clock, suddenly news spread on Wall Street that Tianlong Investment Bank intended to recruit funds in the United States for the second time, with an unknown amount.

This news will undoubtedly be another blow to U.S. stock bulls.

"Tomorrow is Saturday and the market opens on Monday. I bet it will definitely gap up and open lower. I'm going to run."

"Mrs. Lindsay is really 100% bearish on the market outlook. Run, run, whatever you can."

Investors on Wall Street exchange information in various ways, some false and some true.

In the evening, the game begins.

Knicks: Zhao Dong, Fordson, Sprewell, Stackhouse, Ginobili

Bulls: Oakley, Rasheed Wallace, Tracy McGrady, Mobley, Kidd.

Fordson jump ball, beat Rasheed Wallace, Knicks offense.

The ball was given to Stackhouse for control, and Zhao Dong entered the low post on the left wing.

The Knicks' offensive tactics, whether inside or outside, are initiated from the low post.

Look for Zhao Dong first. If he gets the ball and is double-teamed, he can create open opportunities for the outside, and the outside can also cut in.

If there are no double teams, Zhao Dong will play alone.

This tactic is similar to the triangle tactic.

Stackhouse took the ball to the three-point line on the left wing, passed the ball to Zhao Dong below, and then immediately cut to the basket.

Zhao Dong caught the ball, threw it with one hand, and passed the ball back to Stackhouse who was cutting in.

Oakley was fooled and looked back. When he looked back, Zhao Dong had already beaten him and headed towards the basket with the ball.

When Rasheed Wallace returned to defend the basket, Zhao Dong was already flying towards him.

He suffered a lot from Zhao Dong last season. It was almost impossible for him to defend against this kind of ball. It would be knocked away directly. It was the regular season again, so he gave up.

"boom!"

A fierce slam dunk against the basket, and there were many cheers in the United Center Arena.

Like Jordan, Zhao Dong also received support from many fans on the road.

Looking back, the Bulls attack.

After running, Stackhouse faced McGrady holding the ball on the right three-point line.

McGrady is now considered the Bulls' No. 1 star. Kidd's popularity here can't even match him. He already has some arrogance and confidence, and considers himself to be Jordan's successor after he retires.

Of course, in fact, he is also the core appointed by the management.

However, the Bulls also have some internal worries. Rasheed Wallace is not convinced by McGrady. He is older than McGrady and has more abilities. He also wants to be a big player.

He was the boss in the Trail Blazers, and he only came to the Bulls because of Jordan. Now that Jordan has retired, he thinks it is natural for him to be the boss of the Bulls.

Against Stackhouse's defense, McGrady suddenly rose up.

"boom!"

The chance came out, but the ball missed.

The basketball rebounded, and the inside line under the basket was not grabbed, and it bounced back to McGrady and Stackhouse.

Stackhouse tried to grab the rebound, but McGrady jumped up from behind, picked up the ball, and then took off a second time to grab the rebound.

"There is a height difference of five centimeters between the two, plus wingspan and jumping, there is at least a height difference of twenty centimeters. When fighting for rebounds, McGrady has a clear advantage. "

Bill Walton laughed in the TNT live broadcast booth.

McGrady threw it to Kidd, who reorganized the offense.

At this time, Mobley cut towards the basket from the left wing, attracting the defensive attention, but Kidd passed the ball to McGrady on the right wing.

McGrady caught the ball and Stackhouse, who looked back at the basket, was about to return to defense, but was already too late.

"Uh-huh!"

The water splashed and he hit a three-pointer.

"Tracy's shots are very fast, with a wingspan of 220 centimeters. He has a height advantage on the outside. His hands are very big and he can catch the ball with one hand. His shots are very difficult to guard."

Bill Walton explains.

"His shoe height seems to be 208 centimeters. With the Knicks' three-guard strategy, the outside height is a little lower." Matt said.
