Chapter 275 Old Oak: I’m Covering up This Chinese Guy, Who Has Any Objections?

"Damn Thomas, I wish you can take Viagra as soon as possible, and then it won't work."

Cursing secretly, Zhao Dong smiled and said, "I want to wait until the end of this season to answer this question for you, is that okay?"

Thomas was startled, then laughed and nodded.

The second questioner was a New York Sports reporter, asking: "Coach Nelson, will the Knicks' main lineup change this season?"

Nelson replied: "During the regular season, we will be the same as last season. Newcomers and young people will get more opportunities."

After saying this, Danny Fordson, Billups, and Mobley suddenly became excited.

The reporter asked: "Then the team has introduced a madman, will it have an impact on the locker room?"

Old Nelson smiled, turned around and looked at Zhao Dong, and then replied: "You should ask Feilong this question, it belongs to the world of players.

Of course, I can also say that Feilong has a very high level of management of the locker room, and with the help of Barkley and Kevin Willis, I think there will be no problem. "

"Feilong, what do you think?" the reporter asked Zhao Dong.

"We have an extra good boy in the locker room." Zhao Dong said with a smile.

"Pfft!"

Danny Fortson and Barkley burst into laughter.

"What a good boy?" The reporter was confused, as were everyone else.

"Madman, tell him, what is a good boy?" Zhao Dong turned around and asked.

The madman twitched his face, stood up with a red face, and said: "Listen to the boss, respect the boss, respect the coach, and love your teammates..."

"Haha..." Everyone burst into laughter.

The madman couldn't talk any more. He really wanted to dig a hole in the ground and get in. His face was almost bleeding.

"alright."

Zhao Dong signaled everyone to quiet down and said seriously: "The madman has now joined the Knicks. I told him that if he can do everything he just said, he will be a part of the Knicks. At the same time, I don't recognize his appearance,

It would reflect badly on our locker room because I wouldn't allow it. "

"Feilong, how many teams do you think can pose a threat to the Knicks this season? Who are they?" The third question was from a New York Times reporter.

Zhao Dong said cautiously: "The Bulls have completed the cleanup, and judging from the lineup, they are stronger than last season.

The Lakers have also completed some transactions and established a reasonable collision zone, which will make O'Neal more and more dominant at the basket. In addition, their young people have also begun to grow up.

With Tim Duncan adapting to the NBA, the Spurs will also take a place among the league's top teams and they have the strength to compete for the championship.

These three teams, plus the Knicks, will be the four championship teams in the league this season, that's my opinion. "

"Feilong, Philadelphia has formed an email team, and you have reinforced other positions. Do you think the digital team does not have the strength to reach the championship level?"

a Los Angeles Times reporter asked.

"The combination of Postman and Lightning may indeed achieve the effect of a powerful combination. This is a good deal."

Zhao Dongxian affirmed the strength of the email combination, and said: "Iverson's strength continues to improve, and his offensive efficiency continues to improve. This is his third season. He has the ability to attract double teams, which will create opportunities for the Postman." Opportunities for gaps or mismatches.

At the same time, this is also the first teammate in the postman's career who has first-class singles ability with the ball and can even score at critical moments. This is an opportunity for him.

But I think the new season's schedule is too tight and leaves them no chance to hone. This will be a test for them. They should need a longer period of time to hone in, so I don't think they can reach the championship level this season. "

"In other words, do you think they will become a championship-level team next season?" the reporter asked.

"It depends on the situation. I have made it very clear that there is potential." Zhao Dong said.

"The Jazz traded Stockton to the Mavericks for the Mavericks' unprotected first-round pick this year. What do you think this deal will produce?" a reporter asked.

Zhao Dong analyzed: "This year? Even if the Mavericks don't make it to the playoffs, with the addition of Stockton, their record won't drop to the bottom. Maybe they can make it to the playoffs, so no matter what, the draw The chance of reaching the top three is also very small.

There is a high probability that this year will be a weak year in the draft and a lottery pick. I don’t think it is worth a Stockton. Although Stockton is old, he is still good. The Jazz's trade is not very good, which will make the Jazz's reconstruction more difficult. "

The Knicks' new season media conference was so successful that it made the Knicks the center of all media coverage.

"The Knicks transform magnificently, and the New York Gentlemen shine in Madison Square Garden."

"The New York Gentlemen, this is the first team in the league to uniformly dress, they show the power of unity, they are full of power."

"Under the leadership of Feilong, the New York Knicks will become a model for the league. They will no longer be a symbol of violence, they will be a symbol of magnificence and gentlemen."

"The Knicks, Bulls, Lakers, and Spurs, Feilong believes that these four teams will be the most powerful contenders for the championship this season."

A large number of media reports attracted the attention of fans and provided a good level of attention for the start of the new NBA season.

"We have to do the same, we can't lose to the Dragons and Knicks."

In Chicago, in the locker room of the Bulls training hall, Jordan turned off the TV in envy and turned to his teammates and shouted: "We must also dress uniformly, and we must become a real team."

"But, they are wearing customized products from Zegna, plus leather shoes, which cost tens of thousands of dollars a set. I heard that Feilong prepared three sets for each of his younger brothers." Someone murmured.

Jordan's face twitched, one set worth tens of thousands, three sets per person? Shet, the whole team together doesn't cost more than a million dollars?

Forget it, Nike was acquired by Feilong’s bastard wife, and maybe one day their own brand of shoes will be killed, so it’s better to save some of the money you have.

"Damn Feilong, he always likes to do these fancy things." He muttered after sitting back in his seat.

"Why doesn't Nike come to me? What does Feilong's wife want to do? Feilong Sports has released the second generation of Silver Devils, and I don't have any new sneakers this season. Are they really going to abolish my brand shoes? No, I can't sit still and wait for death, I want to prepare for a lawsuit..."

For a moment, his mind was full of thoughts.

During this period, after Nike changed hands, he had been preparing for Nike to contact him, but no, Nike didn't call even once, as if he had no relationship with Nike. This made him very anxious and didn't know what to expect for him. What is.

"Rookie, come here." At this time, Ewing shouted to Da Zhi.

"What's the matter, Patrick?" Da Zhi quickly stood up and went over to ask.

Ewing took out a Franklin and said, "Go buy me a cup of Horsman's..."

Oakley didn't need to hear the whole story to know that Ewing was going to renovate Dazhi, because the Horsman's store was five kilometers away from here, right where Ewing lived. When he went to visit Ewing, Ewing took him with him. Been there.

He immediately interrupted Ewing and said, "Patrick, you happened to pass by there when you were going home. Do it yourself. I need the rookie to do something for me."

"..."

Ewing was helpless. He couldn't hit Oakley in the face, so he nodded.

"king……"

Oakley waved to Da Zhi and asked him to sit back in his seat and said, "Pick up your sneakers for me when you leave. This is what you have to do as a rookie, okay?"

"ok."

Da Zhi nodded quickly.

Oakley looked at the others in the locker room to see who had any objections.

His intention has been made very clear. He wants to cover up the Chinese, and Ewing won't even give him any face. Anyone who has an opinion can raise it now, and anyone who objects can attack him, including Jordan.

Jordan glanced at Oakley and said nothing, acquiescing to the other party's attitude.

Not to mention Oakley was here, even if he wasn't, he wouldn't bother to deliberately embarrass the Chinese because of the conflict with Zhao Dong.

He is a little disappointed with Da Zhi. The offense is okay and he is qualified to play a rotation, but the defense is not good. This is not the person he wants.

No one else said anything. Oakley, one of the four villains, is the main power forward of two championships. This time he was invited by Phil Jackson and Jordan to return to the Bulls. There was a lot of talk in the Bulls locker room. Right, the status of the locker room is not lower than that of Jordan. Ewing, one of the absolute leaders of the locker room, cannot compare to him.

"Feilong set the best example this time."

In New York, NBA headquarters, Stern looked at the newspaper in his hand, feeling extremely satisfied.

Above was a group photo of the Knicks, all wearing top-notch suits. They looked decent, without the messy, unclassy feeling before. This was what he wanted to see.

"Locke?" he shouted.

"President, what are your orders?" A white man in his thirties walked in.

After the previous special assistant was kicked out of the G League by him, this is Stern's newly promoted special assistant, a person without racial discrimination.

"The Knicks have done very well this time. We must vigorously promote it and use the Knicks...and the Dragons as our promotional model." Stern said with a smile.

"Yes, President, I will notify the Propaganda Department immediately." Locke smiled.

"Do it." Nodding, Stern smiled.

On February 4th, the shortened new season is about to begin.

The Knicks played their first regular season game against their old enemy, the Bulls.

After being suspended for such a long time, the league has suffered a huge loss of vitality. In order to regain some popularity, Stern specially arranged this opening game.

At noon that day, the bull arrived in New York.

At two o'clock, the Bulls arrived at the hotel and held a press conference.

The first person to ask the question was a reporter from the New York Times. He asked: "Michael, does the change of ownership of Nike have any impact on you?"

"Shit question."

Jordan cursed secretly and said: "Storm Fund's entry into Nike is indeed a little confusing to me, but I will deal with this problem."

"Do you think Storm taking over Nike will help Feilong?" the reporter asked.

"Of course it helps. She is his wife, a doting husband."

Jordan cursed secretly again and said: "The league will not allow sponsors to interfere in league affairs, which has been reflected in the league preventing the Lakers from trading the Postman.

Then I think even if the Storm Fund wants to use Nike to help the Dragons and Knicks build strong lineups, the league will not allow it. "

"So Michael, will Storm take over Nike and have any impact on the mj brand?" The reporter continued to ask.

This makes Jordan sad. He knows nothing. Who knows what that doting husband maniac will do? Or will they directly dismantle Nike and then close the mj brand?

Seeing that Jordan was in grief, the reporter asked again: "After all this time, Nike hasn't contacted you?"

"No." Jordan said helplessly.

"You didn't contact Nike either?" the reporter asked again.

Jordan suddenly lost control and said angrily: "I won't contact Nike. They can do whatever they want. At worst, they will abolish my contract and my subsidiaries. I don't care. I'm ready." We have a lawsuit with them."

"But apart from Nike, I am afraid that even Adidas will not dare to provoke Storm Fund. If you don't endorse Nike, what brand of sneakers will you wear in the future?"

"I?"

Jordan was furious, can I play ball with bare feet?

On this day, ESPN announced the prediction rankings of winning chances for the new season.

The first tier is the four championship-level teams identified by Zhao Dong. The Knicks, who have won two consecutive championships, rank first with a 39% chance of winning, followed closely by the Bulls with 35%, third and fourth are the Lakers, respectively. It's 31% and 30%.

The second-tier teams are the Heat, Pacers, Philadelphia Digital Team, and Magic. Their chances of winning are all below 10%, and the possibility of winning is very small.

In Philadelphia, the digital team is conducting in-team training, but Iverson is a little unhappy.

ESPN did not include his team in the first bracket, and Zhao Dong's interview yesterday did not include his team in the championship team. He believed this was wrong.

The addition of Postman not only strengthens the team's mid-range offensive capabilities, but also strengthens interior defense and rebounding.

In addition, Postman's stable mid-range shooting cannot be ignored. His ability to stretch is rare in the league. On the offensive end, his breakthrough will have a lot of space, far more than when Coleman was here.

Compared with Coleman, Postman has made a qualitative improvement in the team's offensive and defensive changes.

But he also believed that what Zhao Dong said was right. The past ten days of running in with the postman had not been smooth.

Postman has played pick-and-roll tactics for more than ten seasons, but his team mainly focuses on breakout tactics. If they want to cooperate properly, it really takes longer to run in.

"Feilong, I will prove to you that my team has the strength to challenge the Knicks."

But no matter what, he believes that his team has championship-level strength.

Night of the 5th, Madison Square Garden, New York.

Before the game started, Jordan came alone outside the home team's locker room, chewing his beloved cigar.

"I want to see Feilong."

Looking at a few security guards who looked at him doubtfully, he took out his cigar, blew out a bunch of smoke rings, and said with his chin held high.

"Luoduo!" A security guard knocked on the door and shouted inside: "Feilong, Jordan wants to see you, he's right outside."

"Jordan?"

Zhao Dong came out a little surprised.

"What do you want from me?"

"What? What can I do?"

Jordan suddenly became excited, threw the cigar on the ground, stepped on it, crushed it with all his strength, and then shouted at Zhao Dong: "I just want to ask, what do you want?"

"Is there something wrong with your mind? What did I do to you?" Zhao Dong asked in confusion.

"Your wife acquired Nike, what will happen to me and Nike's mj company? They haven't contacted me for such a long time, and my new shoes haven't been released. What on earth do you want?"

Jordan yelled angrily.

Zhao Dongdao: "Are you mentally ill? The acquisition has just been completed, and the management must be reorganized. How can I pay attention to you now?"

"I just want to know, what will you do to me? Will you abolish the MJ brand?" Jordan said angrily.

"Your brand?"

There are no tasks related to Jordan in the system this season. Zhao Dong thought for a while and said: "The matter between us is over. I will not target you anymore, but what will happen to your brand? This is a question that Nike management will consider in the future. ,not my business.

If you are worried that the Storm Foundation will deal with you, then you are overthinking. You are now a good asset of the Storm Foundation. You are making money for us. As investors, Lindsay and I will not do that. "

"Really?" Jordan said in disbelief: "But your wife said she wanted to abolish my brand when she was in London?"

"Really? She didn't tell me. It should have been a temporary remark."

Zhao Dong said disdainfully: "By the way, Jordan, you are old and I don't want to step on you anymore. You'd better retire quickly and retreat bravely. If you continue to hang around, your fame will be over."

"Nonsense, if we fight again this season, I won't lose again." Jordan said angrily.

To be honest, he is not talking big. He is really confident this season.

Under his high pressure, rookie McGrady practiced for several months during the offseason, showing great offensive potential and improving rapidly.

He believes that McGrady's offensive potential is much stronger than Pippen, especially his offensive ability with the ball. Once McGrady grows up and has the ability to attract double-teams, then he will have the strongest helper.

However, whether he can wait until that day depends on whether McGrady can truly grow up in the past two seasons.

He decided that if he failed again this season, he would play another season. If he failed again next season, he would have no choice but to retire.

In addition, in addition to McGrady, Kidd has also become better and has improved his shooting.

On the inside, there are Rasheed Wallace and Oakley, and the Mavericks acquired the defensive star Kurt Thomas inside, plus Ewing, Mark Bryant, Dick Simpkins, these are just a few. A guy with good defense and rebounding, this year's post is much better than in previous seasons.

He believes that this year's lineup is no worse than the Knicks.

Especially inside, with the addition of Rasheed Wallace, a young player, he is full of energy and is completely different from the old-fashioned one in previous seasons.

Looking at Jordan's leaving figure, Zhao Dong thought to himself: "Jordan, your MJ will still exist, but Nike will not exist."

Of course he knows what Lindsay is doing now. She is investigating everything about Phillip Knight. No matter what the result is, she will break up Nike immediately after the investigation.

Feilong Sports will acquire Nike's R&D room, sales channels, MJ subsidiaries, and of course NBA player endorsement and sponsorship contracts.

Of course, this is only the superficial plan, and the real plan will not be revealed to anyone.
