Chapter 401 The New Season

Zhao Dong smiled and said: "In the new season, I will return to the low position."

"But you alone can't stop these two combinations. You don't have the height." The reporter immediately shouted.

Other reporters nodded. Without height inside, there would be no vision and shots would be seriously affected, not to mention the defensive end. The four super insiders of both teams are machines with full offensive firepower.

Zhao Dong's low-post skills are indeed very strong, and his hitting skills are unmatched in the world. However, if he sits in the low-post and loses his impact, he will lose his biggest advantage. With his physique, he has no lethality in the low-post and can only pull. Go out and fight.

But if you pull him out to play, you will lose the rebound, which is definitely not worth the gain.

With the current inside strength of the Trail Blazers, no one can help Zhao Dong.

This is what the media thinks. No matter how powerful Zhao Dong is, he can't beat the super inside combination of the Nets and Lakers in the low post.

Judging from the finals between the Knicks and the Lakers, whoever occupies the basket, has a higher offensive percentage under the basket, and has a higher offensive efficiency will win the world.

The penalty area is king, but what do the Trail Blazers have under the basket?

But they don't know the strength of O'Neal Jr., and it's hard for Zhao Dong to talk about it here. He can only say: "The new season is really difficult for the Trail Blazers. The Lakers and Nets have formed a super luxurious inside combination, but I am still confident that they can Defeat them.

If you think they have defeated us, then I can only say that there is a reason why you can only be journalists. "

"Feilong, if I had your body, I would also be the god of basketball." A reporter shouted loudly.

Zhao Dong glanced at the man and said disdainfully: "There are a lot of people on the streets of the United States whose quality has reached my level. They are also the gods of basketball? What you said shows that you can really only be a reporter, and you are Amateur basketball reporter.”

"Today is a good opportunity, I am here to teach you a basketball lesson...Basketball is not about spending a lot of money to recruit a few superstars and you can win the championship.

The Lakers' super inside combination, David Robinson, is old and his mobility has weakened. As long as we play fast breaks, can he and O'Neal keep up with our rhythm? "

The first words of this basketball class stunned all the reporters.

"Yeah, if Feilong plays fast break, how can the Lakers follow up inside? They can't be dragged to death?"

"The Lakers will definitely beat the Trail Blazers in the positional battle.

But the Trail Blazers are really not good at fast breaks, and the Lakers are really not good at it. "

"I'm still optimistic about the Lakers. The Trail Blazers' defense is no match for the Lakers. Kobe is getting stronger and stronger. The Lakers have the strength to beat the Trail Blazers' perimeter."

Reporters chattered and opinions began to diverge.

At this time, Zhao Dong said again: "The Nets are in the same situation. Do you think Yao Min and Duncan can keep up with my speed? I can break their legs."

"..." All the media reporters were dumbfounded.

A reporter shouted loudly: "Then how do you deal with their perimeter? The Lakers have Kobe, the Nets have Marbury, who do you have?"

"Eddie Jones can't stop Kobe and Marbury, he will be reduced to rubbish." A reporter echoed.

"Eddie Jones was forced out of the starting shooting guard position by Kobe Bryant in the Lakers, and then was traded. Of course he couldn't beat Kobe Bryant."

Another reporter added.

Zhao Dong chuckled and said: "Before that, I will beat them first. Can Kobe and Marbury stop me?"

Everyone was stunned and felt that Zhao Dong was cheating. Do you think you are really a god? How many positions do you play from the outside to the inside?

But then they thought that once Zhao Dong was pulled to the outside, no matter the Nets or the Lakers, they would have to switch defenses. It was impossible for the four major insiders to follow, and they could only let the outside defend. Who on the outside of the two teams could guard Feilong? Wouldn't it be possible to explode from the outside to the inside?

They know very well that the scary thing about Zhao Dong is that he can play five positions, but no one in his opponents can defend from position one to position five, or from the outside to the inside. During the stop-and-go defense changes, there will be holes in the defense line, and then Zhao Dong will blow it up.

"Feilong, do you agree with the theory of the God-Slaying lineup?" a reporter asked.

"The theory of opening up the inside line and allowing the outside line to cut in to improve efficiency? Isn't this just a breakout tactic? What's new? Can you deal with me just like this? Ridiculous!"

Zhao Dong said disdainfully: "To put it bluntly, no one who can guard me alone at any position or can keep up with me can't guard me. Any God-killing lineup or any gimmick will be defeated by me." Explode.”

At this time, an internal welcome ceremony was specially arranged at the Trail Blazers headquarters, and all management and players will participate.

Some players were divided into three groups, each talking about his or her own business.

Marion and Fordson stood together, chatting excitedly about their boss.

Alongside them were O'Neal Jr. and Steve Smith, as well as several other players.

This is a bunch, and there are a bunch more, including Schrempf of the German team, Brian Grant, Eddie Jones and several others. Except for Eddie Jones, who just joined, the others are all veteran players of the Trail Blazers. They are changing clothes. The room is very prestigious.

The last pile was Little Flying Squirrel, Bunchy Wells, and Rain Man Kemp.

"Bryan, although the team has to train Xiaoao, you still have a great chance."

The German team glanced at Marion and said to Grant: "Listen, don't get into a stalemate with Feilong, it won't be good for you."

After Grant's contract with the Trail Blazers ended last season, he originally planned to leave. The Heat had already extended an olive branch to him, but then Zhao Dong joined the Trail Blazers. He wanted to win a championship, so he stayed. Came down and renewed the contract.

His original idea was to play the main power forward on the team in the new season, because the Blazers had no one inside and the German Schrempf was too old.

But after signing, the management told him about his status in the team and hoped that he would contribute to the team on the bench, which made him confused.

The management also told him that in the new season the team will focus on training O'Neal Jr., a person Feilong is optimistic about.

Then the team also signed Sean Kemp and Danny Fordson. One is a beastly power forward and the other is a flying dragon. They are both here to steal his playing time, which makes him even more unhappy.

So he was a little annoyed with Zhao Dong's attitude. Schramf knew this very well, so he tried to persuade Zhao Dong before he showed up.

Grant smiled bitterly, nodded and said, "Don't worry, I just ask for fair competition."

Nodding, Schrempf signaled, led Grant and others to Marion's pile, and stood with them.

"They surrendered. They are all people who want to hug their thighs. We can't be like them." When the little flying squirrel saw it, he said with great disdain.

"I have no interest in that Chinese guy. He is as important to me as the fans." Bunchwells snorted.

Rainman Kemp yawned and said very dissatisfied: "The management is just a dog. They want to welcome that guy, why do they bring us here?"

"We must unite and fight against him. We must not succumb to a Chinese." Little Flying Squirrel said eagerly.

"ok."

The three idiots with no brains quietly reached an alliance agreement and decided to give Zhao Dong a show of provocation later.

After the airport interview, Zhao Dong's management first came to the team headquarters to attend an internal welcome meeting.

The Trail Blazers' current lineup is, Zhao Dong, O'Neal Jr., Marion, Eddie Jones, Damon Stoudemire, Steve Smith (guard), Greg Anthony (guard), Rod Strickland (Guard), Bunch Wells (Fighter), Detlef Schrempf (Inside), Dale Davis (Forward), Brian Grant (Forward), Danny Fortson, Shaw Encamp.

The first five are the main players, the last nine are substitutes, and 14 are contractors.

Zhao Dong knew about the situation of these teammates when he was still in China.

The German Schrempf is 37 years old. This is his last season. He has decided to retire after playing. He has no role on the field and can only use his remaining energy in the locker room.

Dale Davis is 31 years old this year. His scoring ability is average, but his rebounding and defense are not bad. He averages 1.2 blocks per game and can contribute a lot of energy in the substitute lineup.

Brian Grant is 28 years old and has a tough style of play. He suffered injuries last season and his condition declined somewhat. However, he, Fordson, and Davis will still be the main interior substitutes for the Trail Blazers in the new season.

Of course, the Blazers are still counting on Sean Kemp. The management's idea is to let Sean Kemp and Zhao Dong's suggestion to partner Xiao O in the inside, with Xiao O playing the center and Zhao Dong playing the small forward.

The outside substitutes are mainly Steve Smith, the main shooting guard of the Trail Blazers last season, as well as Bunch Wells and others.

The Trail Blazers don't have many stars, but they still have a lot of people who can play, otherwise they wouldn't have made it to the Western Conference Finals last season.

But he also knows one thing. The Trail Blazers will have a reputation as a prison in the future. They are notorious in the league and will be a difficult team to deal with.

Why is it called prison? Because the players on this team can cause any type of scandals, such as fraud, *****, shootings, exclusives, stabbings, jail time, etc. Every type of scandal is a role model in the league. representative of sex.

But the good thing is that this team has not become a prison yet.

In the last life, the Trail Blazers changed their head coach next season, and Maurice Cheeks became the new head coach, and his appointment was the beginning of the Trail Blazers' chaos.

He likes some players with unique abilities very much, such as Damon Stoudemire, who hides away from home, Rain Man, who smokes and drinks alcohol, criminal Reuben Patterson, etc.

Now that Larry Bird is the team's head coach, Zhao Dong believes that the Trail Blazers will no longer become a prison.

Besides, he won't allow it, such as Rain Man and Little Flying Squirrel. He will communicate with the management and Larry Bird, and trade those who can.

He made the Knicks a team of gentlemen, and he would never allow the Trail Blazers to become a prison.

Arriving at the headquarters, Zhao Dong followed Paul Allen and the others to a large conference room. Zhao Dong met the remaining management and his teammates.

"he came!"

Seeing Zhao Dong in the crowd, Little Flying Squirrel perked up. He wanted to challenge this powerful flying dragon in the Alliance today.

But he immediately saw a group of bodyguards behind Zhao Dong. They were all wearing black suits and sunglasses, just like the damn New York Gentlemen. They were even equipped with body armor that ordinary people were not allowed to wear. His eyelids immediately blinked. It took several strokes.

"What the hell, you're just playing ball. What are you doing with a dozen bodyguards?" He silently took a step back and stood behind Rain Man Kemp and Wells.

When Kemp and Wells saw Zhao Dong's scene, the dozen or so bodyguards equipped with body armor might have had guns on them. How could this be provocative? He also shrank back and lowered his head.

"Boss."

As soon as Zhao Dong appeared, Fordson ran over, along with Marion.

"Was the offseason wasted?" Zhao Dong asked with a smile.

"No." The two said in unison.

"Sean, have you mastered the three-pointer?" Zhao Dong asked Marion.

Marion chuckled strangely and said, "It's barely usable."

"Then keep practicing. Shoot hard throughout the regular season and take at least five three-pointers in every game." Zhao Dong said.

"Five?"

Marion's mouth couldn't close and he thought to himself, "I really want to shoot five three-pointers every game. This shooting rate will be incredibly low."

At this time, some teammates came over. Zhao Dong glanced at it and suddenly said: "Hello, is there anyone who doesn't recognize me?"

"Ha ha……"

The players were startled for a moment, then laughed.

"Hey……"

Zhao Dong first greeted the veteran German, and then shook hands with Eddie Jones.

"Feilong, it's a pleasure to play with you." Eddie Jones smiled.

"Happy cooperation, let's defeat the Lakers together." Zhao Dong smiled.

"That's great." Eddie Jones suddenly shouted excitedly.

"The first game of the regular season is against the Lakers, just wait." Zhao Dong said with a smile.

"Hey, Fei Long." Brian Grant greeted.

"Hello, Brian." Zhao Dong smiled.

With the two teams of Marion and Fordson, and the support of German and Grant and Eddie Jones, Zhao Dong felt that he could control this team without doing anything else.

The attitudes of several other players were very low-key and they recognized the boss directly, including Steve Smith. The attitudes of other players were also very friendly, and no one dared to talk to him with their chin held high.

Especially O'Neal, because when the management renewed his contract, they told him one thing. Feilong is optimistic about his potential. He will be the team's key training target in the new season. He will serve as the main power forward, so he is called the boss. The scream was extremely loud.

After greeting these teammates, Zhao Dong looked at the group of people not far away, including Bunch Wells, Little Flying Squirrel and Rain Man Kemp.

These three people are all the backbones of the pioneers who gained the reputation of prison in the previous life, and they are also the people he wants to clean up now.

So he didn't want to pay attention now. If they didn't come over, he didn't bother to go over. He only glanced at it and looked away, then turned to other teammates and said: "

At the airport, some media asked me what my goal is for the new season. Do you know what I said? "

"champion."

Marion blurted out and added something in his head: "100% confidence."

"Ha ha……"

Everyone laughed again. Who doesn't know that Zhao Dong gave the same answer when he was asked this question?

Zhao Dong also laughed and said: "That's right, so our goal for the new season is..."

Having said this, he looked at Fordson and Marion.

The two of them were smart and immediately clenched their fists and shouted: "Championship."

"Come."

Zhao Dong walked to the middle, raised his right hand, and motioned for his teammates to put their hands up.

Everyone's hands are linked together, including Brian Grant. He also wants a championship. This is the purpose of his stay.

Little Flying Squirrel and the other three are in embarrassment, what if they can't get through it?

Wittester noticed the three people who were out of place and immediately frowned.

"Come here!" he waved and shouted.

But Zhao Dong did not wait for the three of them. He shouted: "No matter how strong our opponent is, we have only one goal..."

"champion!"

Everyone shouted loudly and exerted their strength at the same time.

After the internal welcome meeting, the boss Paul Allen left first, and Zhao Dong and Wittester came to the latter's office.

After chatting for a while, Zhao Dong took the initiative to introduce the topic to the lineup issue and said: "Has Rain Man been tested for drugs?"

Wittester said awkwardly: "Sorry, Feilong, I didn't expect..."

Zhao Dong nodded and said, "He looks fatter. He weighs about the same as O'Neal, right?"

Wittester sighed: "I thought he could still play, but now it seems that we have swallowed a bad contract."

Zhao Dongdao: "In this case, I suggest we find a way to get rid of their bad contract now."

"Them?" Wittester was startled.

Zhao Dong said coldly: "What I need is a united team. I will never allow stabbing in my locker room."

Wittester immediately thought of the three guys who were incompatible with Zhao Dong just now, and couldn't help but feel dizzy.

Zhao Dongdao: "I thought they would be more obedient, and I could lead them, but now it seems they don't welcome me. So, Mr. Wittester, although I don't want to interfere in the management's operations, I still I have to make my request and find a way to trade them."

"Okay, Feilong, I'll complete the deal as soon as possible."

Wittester had no choice. He had no way to refuse Zhao Dong's request. The management and boss pointed at Zhao Dong to lead the Trail Blazers to win the championship.

In addition, in order to welcome Zhao Dong, the god of basketball, to join the team, the Trail Blazers arranged a formal ceremony very grandly at the home arena, the famous multi-purpose stadium Rose Garden Arena.

Tomorrow, the Trail Blazers will invite fans for free into the Rose Garden to participate in Zhao Dong's welcome ceremony.

The Rose Garden Arena has 14,000 fixed seats, more than 1,500 seats in 70 private rooms, and more than 4,000 movable seats, which can accommodate up to nearly 21,000 people.

At the same time, tomorrow is also the media meeting day for the Trail Blazers in the new season.

After leaving the headquarters, Zhao Dong and Ringo Wells came to the new villa purchased by Lindsay.

The villa has everything, and the housekeeper, Ms. Amber, has transferred everyone from the New York side of the house, including dozens of security personnel.

The area is larger than a villa in New York. It has a special nursery and an amusement park in the back garden. It cost 20 million US dollars just for decoration and equipment. It is extremely luxurious.

Zhao Dong rested at home for a night, went to the headquarters the next morning, and then went to the Rose Garden Arena together.
