Chapter 402 New Season Regular Season Tasks

The Rose Garden Arena is multi-purpose and may host basketball, ice hockey, lacrosse, indoor track and field, boxing, figure skating, rodeo games, gymnastics, concerts and more.

At ten o'clock, the Rose Garden Arena was already packed, and the 20,000 Blazers fans were all wearing Zhao Dong's No. 68 jersey.

Of course, this is the Trail Blazers' home jersey No. 68, not the Knicks' No. 68.

"Flying dragon!"

When Zhao Dong appeared, all the fans shouted wildly.

"I am very happy to come to Portland. This is a new beginning for me in the NBA. I feel your enthusiasm here and I am very happy."

Zhao Dong took over the host's microphone and asked loudly: "Then your enthusiasm will eventually be rewarded by me. What do you need?"

"champion!"

Twenty thousand fans shouted wildly.

"Then I'll give you the championship!" Zhao Dong shouted loudly.

"yeah!"

The 20,000 fans cheered wildly as if they had really won the championship.

On this day, Zhao Dong released the news of winning the championship yesterday, which was spread by the media and received countless responses.

O'Neal was the first to stand up and express his disdain for Zhao Dong. He said: "He is bragging. Although the Pacers reached the Western Conference Finals last season, it was luck and no strength. Otherwise, they would not have been defeated." We swept them, and even with the addition of Feilong, their lineup was too bad, and the Blazers didn't deserve to be in the same class as us."

He was swept once again in the finals and was greatly stimulated, so his words were a bit intense and he lost his previous funny style.

Kobe also accepted an interview and said firmly: "If the Trail Blazers can reach the Western Conference Finals this season, it doesn't matter, we will sweep them again."

There was a lot of media going to the numbers team, post Malone and Iverson.

Postman Malone did not talk about the Trail Blazers and Zhao Dong, but instead talked about Duncan and Robinson, saying: "The league is so unfair. I was not allowed to join the Lakers at first, but now it allows Duncan and Robinson to join the Nets and Lakers.

The two of them were just working together, but one was seriously injured and the other was using the excuse of being old.

In fact, it’s just a clique, which is so shameful. "

When interviewing Iverson, he did not talk about Zhao Dong directly, but just like the postman, he talked about teamwork and said: "Now the era of one person defending one city has passed. This is a kind of sadness. We can no longer play in the NBA." There’s no superhero in sight either.”

The two men's attacks on the grouping behavior sparked heated discussions in the media.

However, most of the media are still very tolerant of the behavior of Robinson and Duncan, because one of them is indeed old and the other is seriously injured. They are really old, weak and disabled, and they cannot be regarded as a team.

Duncan smiled in front of the media and said: "They said I was in a group, but that's not true. I only have one leg now. Together with Yao, I have three legs. He and I are both floor styles. At most, we can be regarded as a three-legged floor style combination."

Facing the media, Dayao smiled and said modestly: "The floor-flow combination that Tim mentioned is indeed in line with our actual situation. We have no talent and can only rely on diligence and hard work."

Zhao Dong has no interest in the interview with the email group. He doesn't care if others are in a group. If they can't beat him, is there any hope of working alone without a group?

He burst out laughing at what Duncan and Dayao said.

If these two floor-players don't have talent, then there really is no talent in this world.

Talent is more than just athletic talent. Isn't technical talent talent? As far as the skills of Dayao and Duncan are concerned, O'Neal and Postman combined are not as good as either of them.

Duncan is known as a great basic player, and Yao's technique and shooting touch are no weaker than Duncan's. Both of them have top-notch technical talents.

On the other hand, O'Neal, without quality talent and his tonnage, his skills are scumbag.

Just like the postman, without his elbows, he is just an ordinary power forward with a bit of mid-range shooting.

Duncan and Dayao's remarks gave them the name of a combination, a three-legged floor-flow combination, and the gains were not small.

In the next few days, Zhao Dong will conduct tactical training with his teammates.

At 9 a.m. on the 25th, he arrived at the training hall, and everyone else arrived at this time.

"Larry..."

Before training, he formally made a suggestion to Larry Bird, giving O'Neal a certain tactical status.

Although he had already made the suggestion to the management about O'Neal serving as the main power forward in the new season, he was worried that Larry Bird would not agree. This is the function of the head coach, so he raised it in person now.

"Do you really think highly of him?"

Larry Bird asked with interest.

"Larry, he was my draft pick in the same year. I have observed him. Although he is not very old, after four seasons, his offensive and defensive skills have been honed. As long as you give him a chance, you can see him. I guarantee your strength." Zhao Dong said seriously.

Larry Bird also took Zhao Dong's words seriously.

In the next training match, he followed Zhao Dong's instructions and assigned Xiao Ao to Zhao Dong's team, gave him some tactical status, and arranged some tactics for him.

Brian Grant was on the other team, and he happened to be facing O'Neal Jr. He decided to give this team's little transparent guy a good look, and let Zhao Dong see his strength.

Grant is 206 centimeters and 115 kilograms, which is similar to Zhao Dong's physique.

Xiao Ao is 211 centimeters, and the tonnage is very light, only 105 kilograms.

Zhao Dong held the ball outside and gave the ball to Xiao Ao in the low post on the left wing to see how he played.

As soon as O'Brien got the ball, Grant pushed hard from behind to push the former away from the paint area.

But at this moment Xiao Ao suddenly turned around and slipped away. Grant turned around too slowly and was caught cleanly.

"boom!"

Driving to the basket, O'Brien dunked.

Zhao Dong smiled, Xiao Ao's attack was within his expectation.

Holding the ball in the low post and turning around to attack the basket are O'Neill's strongest moves. If he cannot enter the paint area, then he can turn around and shoot a step-back jumper.

Although Grant's defense is good, his athleticism is too far behind and his sensitivity is not enough. It is natural that he cannot guard Xiaoao.

"Shet, boy, come again."

But Grant was unconvinced and was beaten by the transparent team member, which made his old face turn red.

Looking back, Grant's team attacked, and Zhao Dong asked Grant to play one. He wanted to see Xiao Ao's defense.

Grant got the ball in the low post on the left wing, swung it from side to side, then turned and shot a jumper.

"Snapped!"

Xiao Ao suddenly jumped up and slapped the ball away, which made Grant's eyes go straight.

"..."

He looked at Xiao Ao in front of him and felt a little unfamiliar. Is this the same Xiao Transparent as before?

"hey-hey!"

Seeing Grant's stunned look, Xiao Ao smiled shyly.

"Good job, boy."

Grant also laughed and patted Xiao Ao on the head.

"brush!"

When Zhao Dong's team attacked, Xiao Ao suddenly pulled out, caught the ball and shot a jumper from the three-point line, and hit another goal.

This is also Xiao Ao's offensive method. His offensive area is very large.

"Damn it!"

Grant didn't keep up. His speed was not as fast as Xiao Ao's.

Perhaps this is the first time I have a tactical position. I am very excited. Xiao Ou was in good condition in today's training match. He received continuous passes from Zhao Dong and beat Grant several times. At the same time, he also prevented Grant from failing to attack consecutively on the defensive end. .

Grant couldn't guard O'La on the defensive end, especially when O'La went out, he couldn't keep up.

On the offensive end, he is not tall enough, and O'Brien's athleticism far exceeds his. His shots are very difficult and he cannot beat O'Brien.

After several offensive and defensive rounds, he saw the strength of Xiao Shengming, which made him a little frustrated. He seemed to be unable to compete with the main power forwards.

But then I thought about it, he stayed for the championship. Isn't it just right that O'Neal suddenly appeared?

Besides, he just signed a new contract. This season is not a contract year, so there is no need to worry about performance. Just be a substitute.

But he glanced at Danny Fortson, who didn't play. This is Feilong's younger brother, and he still has to compete with this guy for playing time.

A training match allowed Larry Bird to see O'Neal's potential, or strength, and he fell in love with this boyish-looking baby face.

In addition, Ou's current strength, judging from his performance in this training match, has indeed met his requirements for a main power forward.

He began to admire Zhao Dong, because Zhao Dong saw the right person again this time.

In the next few days, Xiao Ao continued to perform well in training matches, and his continued performance gradually gained the trust of the coaching staff and teammates.

General manager Wittester also got the news and often went to the training hall to watch training games and observe Xiao O's performance.

He was very happy that Xiao Ao, who was about to be let go, actually had excellent strength as Zhao Dong said, as if he had found a treasure.

When he thought about it, if Xiao Ao was let go in the offseason and Xiao Ao played on other teams, wouldn't he really be a joke?

Thinking of this, he was grateful to Zhao Dong.

"We got the Feilong, and now Ou suddenly appears again. Can our Blazers really win the championship this season?"

The thought of this made him tremble with excitement.

Only Zhao Dong knew that relying on Xiao Ao, it was impossible.

Xiao O's body has many problems, more than Fordson's at the beginning. It is better to rely on him than to rely on yourself.

O'Neal can never beat O'Neal's super insiders. His role is at most a containment, to distance his opponents. If he wants to win, it depends on him.

On October 29, the league announced the number of national live broadcasts for each team in the new season.

The Trail Blazers only had 24 nationally broadcast games last season, but actually got 62 games in the new season. The entire management was extremely happy.

A large number of live broadcasts across the United States means a large amount of broadcast revenue sharing, and sponsorship revenue will also increase. How can the management be unhappy?

Likewise, the players are even happier because they will get a lot of attention in the new season.

Zhao Dong feels nothing. He is not interested in these now. In the next two seasons, he will only be interested in the championship.

When facing the media, he expressed disdain for the lineups of the Nets and Lakers, but in fact he was under great pressure, because the inside combination of Dayao + Duncan and O'Neal + Robinson meant a large proportion of high-definition players at the basket. Efficient offense.

The Trail Blazers' lineup is not very strong. Although they reached the Western Conference Finals last season, they were swept by the Lakers. This season's lineup has been reorganized and they have to face several super teams. The new season will be very difficult.

Although O'Neill is good in strength, even in his peak period, he is far from being able to compare with O'Neal and Duncan. Even the aging Robinson is incomparable now, and Dayao's current strength is also incomparable to him.

So in the new season, he still relies on himself.

On the 29th, it was almost ten o'clock when Shawn Kemp showed up at the training hall. He was late.

"Rainman, come here."

Zhao Dong glanced at Kemp and shouted coldly.

Although he has asked the management to seek a trade, before the trade, he will not allow Rain Man to ruin the atmosphere of the team, including being late.

"Feilong, what do you want to do?"

Shawn Kemp walked over with his chin high and asked.

Zhao Dong took a look at the opponent. He had a fat figure and had long lost the explosive power of the wild forward. He moved very slowly. You knew he was going to die without hitting him.

"Can you still fight?" But he asked anyway.

"Of course I can fight, and I can dunk you." Kemp said unconvinced.

"Then come on, give me a try."

Zhao Dong snorted coldly, threw the ball in his hand, retreated to the paint area, and assumed a defensive posture.

"Come on." Kemp refused to give up and leaned forward with the ball.

The behavior of the two people immediately attracted everyone's attention, including the coaching staff who gathered around.

"Boss is going to teach Rain Man a lesson!" Marion whispered.

"Rainman seems to be a little fatter than last season. Is this 140 kilograms?"

Fordson smacked his lips, feeling that the competitive pressure on him here was less.

At this time, Rainman started to attack, turned around and played with his back. He leaned against Zhao Dong, trying to turn around and break through, and then went in for a dunk.

His original agility and mobility were probably not weaker than Zhao Dong's, and his jumping ability was better, but now he is at least three levels behind Zhao Dong.

Zhao Dong quickly retreated and blocked Rainman's breakthrough, and the latter was forced to combine the ball and make a jumper.

"Snapped!"

Zhao Dong jumped up and grabbed the ball.

"..."

Being caught, Yuren's face turned red with anger.

It was absolutely impossible for this kind of thing to happen to him before. He was the only one who dunked on others. How could anyone catch him?

"I attack and you defend."

Zhao Dong grabbed the ball and walked outside.

"bring it on!"

Kemp shouted fiercely.

Bang bang, Zhao Dong dribbled the ball while leaning towards Rain Man.

Reaching two meters in front of him, he suddenly dribbled the ball several times from his hips, coupled with continuous shoulder shaking and changing directions, which shook Rainman to the point where he could no longer stand. He forced him into the basket, and then it was simple. .

"boom!"

With a flat dunk, he dunked Rain Man.

Yu Ren couldn't jump up at all. He was knocked back three steps by Zhao Dong and almost fell to the ground. He was very embarrassed.

But this was not the end. In the next few rounds, Rainman failed to score a single goal and was blocked by Zhao Dong. On the defensive end, Zhao Dong dunked continuously, leaving him pale.

Wittester was also present. Seeing Rain Man's performance, he shook his head and felt that he had made a stupid deal.

"Okay, you are useless."

Zhao Dong blocked Rainman again. After confiscating the ball, he said something that made Rainman furious.

"Who do you think is useless?"

Kemp roared angrily, clenched his fists, and actually forced himself in front of Zhao Dong.

"Why, do you still want to be violent with me?"

Zhao Dong's eyes flashed coldly, and he exuded an inexplicable aura.

As soon as these words came out, a dozen bodyguards with stern expressions suddenly appeared outside the training hall.

"I?"

Seeing those bodyguards, Yuren's momentum instantly collapsed.

This was not someone he could mess with. Regarding the social status of both parties, Zhao Dong could crush him a hundred times with one finger. No matter how rough and impulsive he was, he would not dare to get rough with Zhao Dong.

Speaking of violence, isn't that asking for a beating?

"Get out of here."

Zhao Dong raised his hand and pushed Yuren away, and said to the other teammates: "You continue to train, I have something to do."

After explaining, he pulled Wittester out of the training hall.

He must complete his sixth consecutive championship, and he cannot let Rain Man spoil his big event.

Rain Man occupies so much space on the team and is a lone ghost who must be purged.

"Mr. Wittester, is it difficult to trade?" Zhao Dong asked when he came to the general manager's office.

Wittester nodded. He now particularly regrets trading Rainman. It won't be used for a day, and such a big contract will be ruined in his hands.

He can't sell Rain Man publicly, so everyone knows that Rain Man is useless, so he can only quietly contact some teams that lack insiders, but no team is interested in Rain Man, but they know that Rain Man is useless, but Rain Man is useless. People's contracts are too big.

"Feilong, I've tried my best to trade, but no one has taken over. I plan to buy out his contract now," he said.

"It turns out that I didn't want to get involved in these trading matters, but you can't trade him now. Let me give you a clue."

Zhao Dong nodded and reminded: "The Magic failed to introduce Duncan. They are short of insiders. You can try your luck with them."

Even if he is a dead Taoist friend and not a poor Taoist, he has no choice but to trick someone into taking advantage of him.

Rainman stayed with the Trail Blazers for two seasons in the last quarter, and the Magic were still willing to give it a try. There must be a chance to trade him now.

"magic?"

Wittester's eyes lit up.

After Zhao Dong left, he immediately began to analyze the Magic's lineup to see how to trade.

In the end, he took a fancy to Mike Miller, the Magic's No. 5 pick in this year's first round.

He didn't dare to open his mouth too much. It would be a waste to get Rain Man away. To make the Magic feel like signing was cheap, it would be conducive to the transaction, so he only needed one Mike Miller, plus three marginal players who matched the transaction.

The Magic received the trade request from the Trail Blazers. They were ecstatic. They had not contacted Rainman yet. They only knew that Rainman had 17.8 points, 8.8 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.2 blocks and 1.2 steals with the Cavaliers last season. His value was far more than that of Mike Rice. Le.

Soon, the transaction between the two parties was completed. The Trail Blazers sent away Sean Kemp, the rain man, and got Mike Miller, and three edge players.

The three fringe players were all selected. They only had contracts for this season and were immediately waived. None of them came to Portland to report.

On the night of the 30th, Zhao Dong was suddenly startled because the system actually issued a task.

When I opened it, I saw it was a season mission.

Regular season tasks: 1. Ask the host to lead the team to the league's first record and break the Bulls' 72-win record; 2. Ask the host to play 82 regular season games this season and average a triple-double of 40+ per game; 3. , scoring over 100 points in a single game during the regular season.

Mission requirements: Complete all.

Mission rewards: 1. Three opportunities to recover from minor local injuries; 2. One of the fragments of dominance.

Zhao Dongwo said, "System, why don't you let me play the 50+25 data that Marshal Zhang had in the 1961/62 season?" That's so awesome.

But in fact, he just complained, because a 40+ triple-double seems to be no less difficult than a 50+25.

This season's task, with the strength of the Trail Blazers, can only be thought about and done, and there is a high probability that it will not be possible.
