Chapter 357 Belonging to the Nets' debut is the pinnacle
After 10 minute, the game starts.
O'Neal won the jump ball and the Lakers went first.
O'Neal squeezed to the basket. His current tonnage has exceeded 140 kilograms, reaching 320 pounds, which is almost 145 kilograms.
Dayao weighed 125 kilograms and couldn't carry it, and he didn't die. After a push, he immediately took a side defense and interfered with O'Neal's reception.
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 Yao a lesson, so he immediately leaned over to dribble and continued to arch inward.
Dayao still didn't die, and retreated to the reasonable collision zone.
At this time, O'Neal got up to smash the basket, and Yao took off to block the block with both hands.
"boom!"
Under the huge tonnage, Dayao was knocked away and staggered back, while O'Neal smashed the basket.
"Oh!"
The audience exclaimed because the ball was smashed.
"Dayao defended well!"
On the sidelines, Yao's father and Yao's mother immediately applauded their son.
They also rushed over from New Jersey to cheer Dayao for his son's first professional game.
After Dayao stood firm, he clenched his fists excitedly, and then strode towards the frontcourt with big strides and a very fast speed, not even slower than the outside line.
The ball just now may not count as a block in terms of statistics, but he touched the ball, which is considered a successful defense.
"It's a beautiful ball. Dayao blocked the shark for the first time in his defense. It's so beautiful!" Su Qun shouted excitedly in the CCTV live broadcast.
"Good job Dayao! Marbury rushed in and grabbed the ball, and now the Nets are attacking." Zhang Lili laughed.
Marbury advanced to the frontcourt. At this time, Dayao caught up from behind and took the initiative to set him a pick-and-roll in the high position. He immediately broke through with the ball from behind Dayao and entered the paint.
When he got to the basket and met O'Neal and Ben, Marbury saw that he had 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 received the ball at the free throw line, and O'Neal could only watch from the basket. Ben defended him, but he couldn't stop Dayao from taking the shot.
"High jump shot? Hit it! Dayao hit the first goal of his career." Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.
"Haha, Dayao's high jump shot is just this high, who can prevent it?" Su Qun said excitedly.
Looking back, O'Neal crushed Dayao again to the basket, turned around and smashed the basket with one hand, and scored a goal on Dayao's head.
"Oh, the shark is the No. [-] pick! Feilong, did you see it? The shark is killing your people." The live commentator roared excitedly.
"Boy, welcome to the NBA!"
The successful shark spouted trash talk at Dayao with a fat face.
Dayao let out a sigh of relief. He really couldn't defend against a Shark's level of attack at the basket. The difference in tonnage was too great.
He didn't respond to the other party's trash talking, and only said in English: "Sorry, Shark, I don't understand English."
"..."
O'Neill opened his mouth wide, don't you speak English?Or what I just said is not English?
Coming to the offensive end, this time Yao set up in the low post on the left wing, and O'Neal defended.
Dayao didn't have a strong position, one step away from the paint, and asked for the ball from Marbury at the top of the arc.
"Oh, Marbury passed the ball." Zhang Li said.
Dayao received the ball and didn't dribble because he was still one step away from the paint. O'Neal's defense was not tight and he didn't hit him hard.
"..."
O'Neal didn't react at all, and saw Dayao shoot a turnaround jumper over his head, and his mouth opened wide.
"Shh!"
Splashes appeared, and Dayao hit a mid-range turnaround jumper nearly five meters away.
After making the shot, Dayao burst into a grin at O'Neal.
"Ha ha……"
In New York, Zhao Dong saw that ABC gave O'Neill a close-up, and his bewildered expression really made people laugh.
He can be sure that with O'Neill's current defensive attitude, it is impossible to defend Dayao.
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 pull it out, even to the three-point line. Will want to follow out.
If Dayao plays O'Neal with a stretched style of play, both the Sharks and the Lakers will be quite uncomfortable.
Once he pulls out of the paint, unless O'Neal goes to follow, no matter who switches defenses, it will be a huge dislocation. If he sees one and plays one, the big Ben who is not tall enough can't even try to defend him.
At the same time, Dayao's low-post offense at the basket is equally powerful. O'Neal can't even try to defend against such a big killer like a turnaround jumper.
Of course, it is very difficult for Dayao to defend against O'Neal.
At the Staples Center, in front of the home team's bench, the new Lakers head coach Phil Jackson looked at Dayao and couldn't help but think of Zhao Dong.
He thought of the bull that was destroyed by Zhao Dong single-handedly, shattering Jordan's dream of establishing a second dynasty and forcing him to leave the bull.
But now that he has come to the Lakers, there are Sharks, up-and-coming star Kobe, iron-blooded center Ben, and Glen Rice. He believes that this season, he will not fail again.
But now, this Chinese Yao who was said to be brought out by Feilong also gave him some headaches.
One minute later, Dayao pulled out of the paint again, O'Neal did not follow, and Dayao made another mid-range shot.
In the first 3 minutes, he made three of three shots and scored 6 points, showing off his style as the No. [-] pick.
Phil Jackson called a timeout, and he said to O'Neal: "Shaq, now I need your defense, you have to keep up with Yao, only your height can defend him, and the basket is handed over to Ben."
O'Neal is absolutely unwilling. What he wants is offense, using his offense around the basket to blow up all opponents, not defense.
Phil Jackson continued: "Don't you want to beat Feilong? Feilong is also the fifth position this season. His pulling ability is stronger than China's Yao. Do you want to watch him shoot you outside?"
"Ok."
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 prevent all of Dayao's offenses. Yao used various offensive methods in the low post, such as hooks, jump shots, even hitting the board, turning around and jumping, and even after entering the basket, he used his pace to mobilize O'Neal. Make dunks.
Marbury did what he said. Dayao made 15 of 10 shots and 6 of 6 free throws. He scored 26 points and perfectly completed his professional debut.
The shooting percentage is over [-]%. Of course, this is because Dayao's ability to pull out is too strong, and he even pulls to the three-point line. O'Neal sometimes doesn't follow the defense.
But the Nets lost. The Sharks failed to defend Yao, so they beat Yao on the offensive end. They scored 38 points and dunked Yao three times. Yao was beaten by him.
But he also got a big hat from Dayao in the back.
"I won."
Hubie Brown laughed.
Cook said with a smile: "Yes, Marbury played quite selflessly tonight, so you pick a restaurant."
On the sidelines, Shaquille O'Neal, the best player of the game, accepted a live interview.
"Shark, congratulations, you beat this year's No. [-] pick." A reporter said.
"That's easy." O'Neal said proudly.
"Do you have any comment on the champion Yao?" A reporter asked.
"He is not a parallel importer, impressive." O'Neill said.
"What is your deepest impression on him?" The reporter asked again.
"Uh……"
O'Neill hesitated for a moment, 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 11 of 3 free throws, and his shooting percentage was pitifully low. Compared with Dayao's 6 free throws and 6 free throws, it can be said to be a world of difference.
"Haha..." The people around laughed loudly.
Zhao Dong is still very satisfied with Dayao's performance tonight. It is indeed better than Yao, who just joined the NBA in his previous life. At that time, Yao was 23 years old, and now he is only 19 years old.
Such a performance, the media can not say a word.
"China's Little Giant, Another Tim Duncan!" The New York Times.
"The debut and pinnacle super center belonging to New Jersey was born!" New Jersey Daily.
"Does champion Yao belong to the peak when he debuts? No, he still needs an excellent performance throughout his rookie season." Los Angeles Times.
Sure enough, the next day, almost all the media praised Dayao's performance.
Even if there is doubt, it is not doubting his performance last night, but that he still needs to continue to perform to prove that he has a rookie season that is the peak of his debut.
On the 4th, the Knicks ushered in the Cavaliers at home.
The Cavaliers are still centered on Rainman Sean Kemp. With the gradual fall of the Rainman, the Cavaliers have also embarked on the road of reconstruction.
In the evening, the Knicks won their second consecutive victory.
Old Nelson still played a three-guard tactic, with a fast offensive and defensive rhythm, and the proportion of outside offense began to increase, favoring small ball tactics.
In this game, the Knicks scored 112 points and showed a strong offensive ability. The three guards teamed up and scored 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, when the bus called and said he was treating guests to lunch, including Oakley.
Half an hour later, the bus drove a Ford pickup to the hotel where the Knicks were staying.
"Hey, Charles, Larry has traveled around the world with his money, are you still not retiring?" Zhao Dong greeted Oakley first.
"Oh, he has more capital than me, he is Mr. Billion, he earns several times more than me with you, he is a billionaire, I am not yet, I have to complete this contract before I can spend the money. "
Oakley said with a grin.
"How is it, here?" Zhao Dong asked the bus after getting on the bus.
"Not bad, not bad." The bus laughed.
The Bulls have played two regular season games, and the bus can get an average of 8.7 minutes of playing time per game. The data is not very good, 2.3 points and 2.1 rebounds, and there are not many offensive opportunities.
Zhao Dong believes that the strength of Daba has improved compared with the previous life. Although it is not as good as Dazhi and Dayao in this life, it should be more than this performance. The main reason is that he just joined the team and didn't get many opportunities.
The strength of the Bulls this season is still good. Oakley is old and strong and can play 10 minutes per game. 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 the championship, the Bulls are still a little young, and McGrady and Mobley have not fully grown up yet.
And when they grow up, Oakley is already old, and there will be a lack of one piece inside, and the lineup will have to be strengthened by then.
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 that your coach is not doing well."
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 turned on his laptop and paid attention to the trend of the US stock market. It continued to decline as in the previous two days, presenting a unilateral downward trend.
In addition to today, in four trading days, it has fallen by 13.5%, and the value of the US stock market has evaporated by [-] trillion US dollars.
In the past two days, bilateral negotiations are still going on, and the US side is still tough, but China insists on some bottom lines and will not let go, especially in the financial area.
At 04:30, the U.S. stock market closed, down 2.7% for the whole day, and the Nasdaq index closed at 4575 points. This time, it has dropped 5289 points from the peak of 714 points.
At five o'clock, suddenly a news spread on Wall Street that Tianlong Investment Bank intends to recruit funds in the United States for the second time, and the amount is unknown.
This news will undoubtedly be another blow to the bulls of US stocks.
"Tomorrow is Saturday, and the market opens on Monday. I bet it will definitely gap and open low. I'm going to run."
"Ms. Lindsay is really 100% bearish on the market outlook, run, run, run a little bit."
Investors on Wall Street exchange information in various ways, some false and some true.
In the evening, the game begins.
Knicks: Zhao Dong, Fortson, Sprewell, Stackhouse, Ginobili
Bulls: Oakley, Rasheed Wallace, McGrady, Mobley, Kidd.
Fortson jumps the ball, wins over Rasheed Wallace, and the Knicks attack.
The ball was handed over to Stackhouse to control, and Zhao Dong entered the low position on the left wing.
The Knicks' offensive tactics, whether inside or outside, are all initiated from the low position.
Look for Zhao Dong first. If he double-teams the ball, he can create open opportunities for the outside line, and the outside line can also cut in.
If there is no double-team, Zhao Dong will play singles.
This tactic is similar to the triangle tactic.
Stackhouse took the ball to the left-wing three-point line, gave the ball to Zhao Dong below, and then immediately cut to the basket.
Zhao Dong received the ball, threw it with one hand, and made a gesture to pass the ball back to Stackhouse who cut in.
Oakley was fooled, and looked back, and when he turned back again, Zhao Dong had already jumped at him, holding the ball and heading towards the basket.
When Rasheed Wallace returned to the basket, Zhao Dong flew up to meet him.
He had suffered a lot from Zhao Dong last season. It was almost impossible for him to defend against this kind of ball. He would be directly knocked away. It was the regular season again, so he gave up.
"boom!"
A ferocious flat-basket smash dunk, the United Center arena sounded a lot of cheers.
Like Jordan, Zhao Dong also won the support of many fans in the away game.
Looking back, the Bulls attack.
Under the running position, on the right-wing three-point line, Stackhouse faced McGrady who was holding the ball.
Tracy McGrady can be regarded as the No. [-] star of the Bulls now. Kidd's popularity here can't keep up with him. He already has some arrogance and confidence, and considers himself to be the successor after Jordan's retirement.
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. His qualifications are older than McGrady, and he also has abilities. He also wants to be the boss.
He is 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.
For Stackhouse's defense, McGrady suddenly stood up.
"boom!"
The opportunity came up, 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 Tracy McGrady jumped up from behind, picked the ball up, and then jumped a second time to grab the rebound.
"There is a height difference of five centimeters between the two, plus the wingspan and jumping, there is at least a height difference of twenty centimeters. McGrady has a clear advantage when fighting for rebounds."
In the TNT live broadcast, Bill Walton laughed.
McGrady threw it to Kidd, who reorganized the offense.
At this time, Mobley cut to the basket on the left wing and attracted the attention of the defense, but Kidd passed the ball to McGrady on the right wing.
McGrady received the ball and looked back at the basket. Stackhouse wanted to return to the defense, but it was too late.
"Shh!"
Splashes appeared and a three-pointer was hit.
"McGrady's shots are very fast, with a wingspan of 220 centimeters. He has a high shot height advantage on the outside. His hands are very large and he can catch the ball with one hand. His shots are very difficult to defend."
Bill Walton explained.
"His shoe height seems to have reached 208 centimeters, the Knicks' three-guard tactics, and the height of the perimeter is a little lower." Matt said.
