NBA: Ultimate Tormentor

Chapter 20 The first reinforcement transaction!The storm is coming!

The day before the Denver Nuggets game.

Warriors general manager 'Larry Riley' invited Qin Dong and Stephen Curry to his house for dinner.

In addition to praising and praising the recent performance of the two new players of the Warriors, the deep-seated purpose is to win over people's hearts, enhance their sense of identity with the team, and pave the way for future contract renewals.

On the long western-style dining table.

The three talked a lot.

Basketball game!

Basketball practice!

Even including their off-court life!
"Qin, you are now the King of Popularity in our Golden State. Your No. 3 jersey was in short supply last week." Even Larry Riley, the general manager of the team, still wanted to praise Qin Dong's stinky feet.

"Haha. Yes, I really like this city and the fans here." Qin Dong said very politely.

"Qin, are you interested in business investment?" Larry Riley asked casually.

Qin Dong was taken aback for a moment, and didn't quite understand what Larry Riley wanted to express.

"Qin, I have a friend who is your fan."

"He likes your game style, and at the same time, he is also an excellent investor."

Larry Riley followed the topic and introduced his investor friend to Qin Dong.

In the past week, Qin Dong won the best rookie of the week in the Western Conference, with his suffocating defensive ability on the court, and the huge China market behind him.Qin Dong's current commercial value is no worse than some All-Star fringe players.

Larry Riley introduced his investor friend to Qin Dong. To put it bluntly, he could effectively help Qin Dong realize his cash.

of course
Qin Dong also has his own agent team.

Jeff Schwartz!
This name may be a little strange.

But in his previous life, the two most classic operations in his hands were quite explosive in the long history of the NBA.

The biggest parallel importer in NBA history-Anthony Bennett.

There is also the 2020 Warriors No. [-] smart-James Wiseman.

They were all packaged and marketed by Jeff Schwartz's agent team.

For Larry Riley's kindness, although Qin Dong has the strongest flicker group in history led by Jeff Schwartz, Qin Dong did not refuse to get to know more business elites.

In addition to things outside the court, Larry Riley also asked Qin Dong and Curry what they think of the current team lineup.

I hope the team can make some reinforcements.

"Marc Gasol, I want to play with this smart big man."

Qin Dong didn't hide it, and directly nominated the Grizzlies' starting center 'Marc Gasol'.

no way
At present, the Warriors' inside line under the basket is really too fragile.

"Oh, Qin, your vision is really good, and our management team is also very interested in him, but Memphis will not let him go easily, and of course, we will not give up on this." Larry Riley said with some surprise.

In this regard, Qin Dong is not surprised. After all, Marc Gasol is the inside core of the Grizzlies, and it is not easy to get him.

Immediately after
Qin Dong recommended two outside players to Larry Riley.

Both of these two players belong to the fringes of the NBA. They are currently in a situation where they have no ball to play. The Warriors can sign them directly.

just
Larry Riley had some doubts about the strength of these two men.

An old genius who was once hailed as the "successor of the magician" but suffered a serious injury.

The other is this year's second-round pick, but due to the team's salary space, he is still playing in Europe.

"Qin, I will focus on discussing these two with the team management." Larry Riley still gave Qin Dong face, and did not refuse on the spot.

"Okay, Mr. Larry." Qin Dong smiled lightly, but he felt emotional in his heart: "Hey, I'm still too weak. I'm far away from the 'Manager Qin' who can cover the sky with one hand and control the management."

"I have to work harder."

The next day.

Denver Nuggets vs Golden State Warriors.

Curry felt bad all night and was picked up by Nuggets starting guard Chauncey Billups.

Chauncey Billups has a strong body, good defense, and excellent organizational skills, allowing Carmelo Anthony to fully display his offensive talents.

Qin Dong is naturally in charge of defending Melon Carmelo Anthony tonight.

In the first half, Qin Dong completed the defensive task very well.

Qin Dong's [Bounce Master] and his excellent defensive sense effectively limited the jump shots after Melon's three-threat test.

He even blocked one of the jumpers head-on.

At the end of the first half, Melon made 7 of 2 shots, plus free throws, and only scored 7 points.

However, in terms of score, the Denver Nuggets are 54vs40, leading the Warriors by 14 points.

In addition to Stephen Curry's sluggish outside touch, Monta Ellis' breakthrough was repeatedly blocked. The no-fly zone formed by Brazilian slugger Nene and Kenyon Martin gave the Warriors 4 blocks in the first half.

As for Qin Dong
Qin Dong still doesn't have the ability to attack independently. Once the two-gun attack from the outside line cannot be opened, the opponent will not even give him assistance in defense or delay, let alone double-teaming.

Without the help of his teammates to absorb the defense, Qin Dong's offense was basically useless for more than half.

As for the unique skill - the humiliation hook.

Uh.
The Nuggets started with 5 players, and none of them was below 190cm.

Chauncey Billups is also a strong No. [-] position, but Qin Dong caught several dislocations during the fast break, but the result was not ideal.

Facing Billups' humiliating hook, 3 of 1.

Qin Dong only scored 2 points in the first half, but he scored 5 rebounds, 2 blocks and 1 steal.

Among them, 1 steal and 1 block were given to Carmelo Anthony, and the other 1 block was given to JR Smith.

The game entered the second half.

The Warriors' outside double-gun feel has not awakened, but Melon Anthony has found the shooting feel.

Twice in a row, he faced Qin Dong's shots that were almost in his hands and made them steadily.

Qin Dong had to narrow the defensive distance with Anthony on the offensive end.

But Anthony during the Nuggets.
The speed and explosive power are very good.

After catching three threats, he made a homeopathic breakthrough, and used his strong body to get to a deeper position under the basket.

Although Melon is not the strongest small forward, he is also a proper heavy striker! ! !

Moreover, Melon's combination of technology and strength is also the best among active players.

The current Qin Dong is hard to stop.

Even if he tried his best to defend every time, but there was an obvious gap in tonnage confrontation and strength. At 9 minutes and 21 seconds of the fourth quarter, Qin Dong faced Anthony who grabbed an offensive rebound and directly forced him to attack Anthony for the second time. Qin Dong paid for his 6th foul.

6 offenders!
This is the first time in Qin Dong's career that he has fouled out.

The Warriors home fans did not laugh at the rookie who had been fighting with Carmelo Anthony all night, but gave Qin Dong, who was walking in the player tunnel, respect and encouragement.

Although only defended the first half.
But let me ask you, who in the entire league can lock up Carmelo Anthony, who is at his peak! ! !
In the end, the score was fixed at 111:89!

The Warriors lost to the Denver Nuggets.

Anthony scored 27 points!
While the 3-game winning streak was ended, the ranking also fell to third in the Western Conference.

3 wins and 1 losses.

The record is the same as the Denver Nuggets, but because they lost to the Nuggets, they can only rank third.

Qin Dong's personal data tonight is 4 points, 8 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 steals.

The day after losing to the Denver Nuggets, the Golden State Warriors played away to the New Jersey Nets.

New Jersey Nets' German - Harris, nicknamed "Pluto" in Chinese, has the fastest straight-line speed in active service.

Although Qin Dong is the Warriors' best perimeter defender
But his defense still has certain limitations.

Take the single defense as an example, he can't defend against a strong and athletic striker, nor can he defend against a fast No. [-] position.

Therefore, the number one position is mainly defended by Curry. If Qin Dong defends, there is a high probability that he will be passed by in one step.

The fast Pluto Harris made seven ins and outs of the Warriors' basket. The Nets' heavy-duty insider Brewer Lopez, the eldest brother among the Lopez brothers, is 213cm tall and weighs 125kg.

Fortunately, Qin Dong's assisted defense limited the opponent's attack to a certain extent.

Otherwise, Andris Biedrins, Anthony Randolph and Turiaf would have been thrown into the octagon by aggressive Warriors fans after the game.

The Warriors also played normally on the offensive end.

You come to me on both sides.

I have been wrestling for the last 1 minute and the last 3 seconds.

Qin Dongchong grabbed the three-pointer Ellis missed!

After grabbing the offensive rebound, Qin Dong quickly gave it to Curry, who was open on the outside, and the latter hit the iron with a three-pointer.

113vs114!

1 point difference!
Sorry to lose!
