NBA Dynasty Sniper

Chapter 414 Season End + Kobe's Marriage
After the All-Star break, the regular season continues.

All the teams that are expected to be in the playoffs have strengthened their rotations to buy rest time for the main players. Only Zhao Dong, like before, broke out with all his strength in every game, so the pioneering record is unique.

Throughout February, the Blazers had a record of unbeaten victories.

At the end of the month, Zhao Dong returned home from the training base.

"Husband, come here."

As soon as Lindsay saw him coming back, she quickly smiled and beckoned him to pass.

"how?"

Zhao Dong went to Lindsay's side.

The four sons sat on the thick carpet and laughed when they saw him, babbling non-stop.

"Quick, baby, call Daddy."

Lindsay teased the youngest old son with a smile.

"Rongxing can speak?"

Zhao Dong felt a burst of surprise and looked at his youngest son expectantly.

"ah!"

Zhao Rongxing looked up at Zhao Dong with his small face, and stretched out two small hands to hug him.

"Dad, you can only hug him when you call him Dad." Lindsay demonstrated on the side.

"ah……"

Babbling, Rong Xing babbled a few times, and suddenly called out somewhat vaguely: "Father."

"Haha, good boy!"

Zhao Dong was overjoyed, grabbed the old son with two big hands, grabbed the old son from the ground, and lifted him up to the sky.

Zhao Rongxing not only didn't cry in fright, but giggled instead.

In the next few days, the other three sons also spoke one after another, which made Zhao Dong and Lin Sai very happy.

On March [-]st, Zhao Dong won the Player of the Month honor for the third consecutive month this season, and continued to maintain the No. [-] position in the MVP rankings.

After entering March, the Blazers finally lost.

Although Zhao Dong's fiery state remained undiminished, the other main players have increased their rotation, so their strength has declined a bit, and they lost to the Lakers and Pacers one after another.

On March [-]st, Zhao Dong finally lost the honor of the month, and the league gave it to Kobe.

But in fact, the Lakers lost three games this month, and Kobe's statistics are far inferior to Zhao Dong's.

However, he still ranks first in the MVP rankings, unmoved, and his average of 40+ triple-doubles per game shocked the world.

But now he maintains a triple-double of 40+, not only alone in the honor of scoring champion, but also in the lead in assists.

After him, Jason Kidd is second with 9.8 per game.

In other words, while he won the scoring title, he may also win the honor of assists title.

In the history of the NBA, there are only two players who have won these two honors at the same time. The first is Nate Archibald, nicknamed the elf, who won both honors in the 72/73 season.

The second person is Zhao Dong himself. Last season he won both honors, and this season he has the opportunity to achieve this honor again.

In terms of individual statistics, in addition to scoring and assists, he also occupies the top three positions in blocks and steals, and occupies the top five positions in rebounds.

On March [-], when Jordan was being interviewed by the media, he laughed in a joking tone: "Feilong played crazy this season. I think he doesn't want to play in the playoffs."

Throughout March, Zhao Dong broke out with all his strength and firepower, and continued to lead the team to sweep all directions, losing only one game, losing to the youth team Bulls in back-to-back games.

On April [-]st, the league once again gave him the honor of the best player of the month, and the number one position on the MVP rankings continued.

The regular season will end on April 4, with half a month to go.

The race schedule continued, as did Zhao Donggao's gorgeous performances.

Relying on its own strength to dominate the league and the depth of the Blazers' deep lineup, the team rushed to the finish line like a charge boat that did not turn back.

After entering April, Kobe got busy because his marriage was coming soon.

On the fifth, the Lakers did not have a game, so he discussed the invitation with Vanessa.

No one attended his wedding at all, and his father and sisters and all relatives had clearly refused.

And he didn't have a good relationship with his teammates, so he didn't plan to notify them at all, and he didn't plan to invite them, including the management, and even the media didn't notify.

So there are no invitations to prepare at all. There are a total of more than a dozen people, all of whom are relatives of Vanessa, and there is no one on his side.

Kobe is fine on the surface, but he is actually very disappointed in his heart. He longs for the blessings of his family and friends.

The only invitation from his side, and also the most important invitation from both parties, was from Zhao Dong.

"Kobe, do you want to invite Lin, Mrs. Lindsay?" Vanessa stammered.

When she thought of the Wall Street tycoon who controlled trillions of dollars in assets, she felt dizzy. She was simply unattainable. How could she come to her and Kobe's wedding?

But it's not good not to write Mrs. Lindsay's name. Just write Feilong Zhao Dong's name. This is definitely a kind of disregard and disrespect for Mrs. Lindsay, so she and Kobe are uncertain now.

"In terms of etiquette, yes, you should invite me, right?"

Kobe's heart was in a mess, he was still not sure if Zhao Dong would come or not.

Of course he also hopes that Mrs. Lindsay can attend his wedding, because Mrs. Lindsay and Vanessa have two things in common, one is mixed race, and the other is Catholic.

And one of the important reasons why his parents don't like Vanessa is that Vanessa has Latin blood, and then they think that Vanessa worships money.

If Mrs. Lindsay can attend the wedding, will his parents dare to look down on Vanessa?
The two discussed for a long time, but there was no result.

Kobe was not sure, because Mrs. Lindsay's social status was too high. Besides, after Mrs. Lindsay returned to the United States, she hadn't appeared in public for several months, and she didn't even participate in high society activities. How could she attend Kobe's wedding?
The two discussed for a long time, and finally decided to write Lindsay's name, because it was a matter of etiquette. Since Zhao Dong was invited, it was impossible not to invite Mrs. Lindsay.

In the end, Kobe sent the invitation with trepidation.

On the afternoon of the [-]th, the Trail Blazers did not have a game, and Zhao Dong went home after two hours of training at the training base in the afternoon.

Now the Blazers have completed 77 games, 70 wins and 7 losses, and there are 5 games left. Only the Lakers are a strong team, so there is a great chance of breaking the Bulls' 72 wins.

Now many media are hyping this, thinking that the Blazers have a chance to become the strongest team in history.

But Zhao Dong is very clear about this point. The reason why his Trail Blazers have achieved a superhuman record is not only that they have enough lineup depth, but the main reason is his personal super performance. , at most it can be regarded as an ordinary playoff team, definitely not a championship-level team.

"Husband, I just sent it."

Just arrived home, Lindsay handed over an invitation from Los Angeles.

"Should be Kobe's wedding invitation."

Zhao Dong sat down beside Lindsay, opened the invitation and saw that Kobe invited Lindsay too, and asked casually, "Avril, Kobe invited you, do you want to go together?"

"Dad! Dad..."

At this time, the four sons who were nearly eight months old crawled over from nowhere, faster than an eight-legged spider, and almost stood up and ran, screaming happily, followed by a group of children. String nannies.

"Haha, as I said, I didn't see a single one. Where did I hide it? Are you good at home today? Did you fight? Who won?"

Zhao Dong grinningly grabbed them one by one and threw them on the sofa.

The four brothers are very strong, and now they are toddlers, and they have too much energy. Sometimes, several nannies can't take care of them, and troubles may happen in the blink of an eye.

"The third child beat the second child, the eldest child beat the third child, the second child beat the fourth child, and the fourth child was the bravest. He dared to challenge the third child, and was beaten up by the three elder brothers."

Lindsay smiled authentically.

Zhao Dong laughed loudly, looked left and right, but still couldn't tell who was the boss, the second and the third, but Lindsay could tell the difference most clearly.

But he recognizes the fourth son, Rong Xing, the youngest son at birth, and now he has grown the strongest, a little bit older than his three older brothers, and he is also the first to speak.

Probably because he monopolized the breast milk alone. At the beginning, it was not enough to eat, and the three older brothers could only drink milk, so they did not grow up as fast as him.

While teasing the four sons, Zhao Dong said back to Kobe's invitation. Lindsay smiled and said, "If you want to go, I will accompany you. Our family will spend a day in Los Angeles on vacation."

"Okay, hehe."

Zhao Dong smiled and nodded.

A week later, the Blazers broke the historical record, 73 wins and 7 losses, replacing the Bulls as the league's first record in the regular season.

On April 2001, 4, the Blazers flew to Los Angeles.

At 9 a.m. the next day, Lindsay received an advance notice from the country, and Mr. Zhu made a phone call in person. The anti-monopoly law will be introduced in half a month.

This is the most important news, which can well protect the development of some domestic strategies and livelihood industries from falling into the hands of capital.

And that night, the Blazers lost to the Lakers away.

So far, the Trail Blazers have completed the four regular season games with the Lakers this season, with [-]% of the battle. The reason for the record priority is that they will have home court advantage in the playoffs.

At the same time, the Blazers and the Nets are tied, and they also have home court advantage.

After the game, TNT commentator Barkley commented on the performance of several championship teams. He said: "There were four championship-level teams at the beginning of the season, but now I only agree with three. They are the Trail Blazers and the Basketball Team. Nets, and the Lakers.

The digital team of the email combination has strong internal strength, but they are only strong on the defensive end, and there is almost no low-post offense on the offensive end. They have been eliminated from the ranks of the first division team.

Among the remaining three championship-level teams, the Nets will not be mentioned for the time being, because it is in the East, and its probability of reaching the championship is more than 80.00%. I only evaluate the Lakers and Trail Blazers here. The final, which is what we want to know most.

They drew two, but we must realize that although the Blazers' internal strength is deep enough and they have enough substitute rotations, even under the leadership of the Dragon, they broke the Bulls' 72 wins and played an incredible season.

However, their inside line really can't resist O'Neal and David Robinson. Once they enter the playoffs, the two super centers will increase their playing time.

What I mean is that the Blazers can tie with the Lakers in the regular season, but after entering the playoffs, they will be at a disadvantage.

Even if Feilong has a performance of breaking a hundred, it may not be able to save the Blazers from being eliminated by the Lakers. "

At the post-match press conference, some media shared Barkley’s comments and asked Zhao Dong what he thought. He thought for a while and said, “The Lakers’ super inside combination really exploded our inside line tonight. He scored 43 points, and the general also scored 21 points. It is difficult for us to compete with them in the low post.

Their existence also affected my impact on the basket and reduced my efficiency, which is a fact.

But we also have our advantages. The regular season is not the playoffs. Buck uses the performance of the regular season to determine the performance of the playoffs, which is wrong. "

He didn't say too much. The regular season is coming to an end and the playoffs are about to start. Now is the time to see the real trick. If you talk too much, it may reveal the secret.

After playing the Lakers, the Blazers returned to Portland the next day. On the 17th, they won the Spurs at home and completed all the regular season schedules of the 00/01 season.

Zhao Dong has played 82 games this season, averaging 46.8 minutes per game. He is the player with the most playing time among all players in the league, and he can be called an iron man.

常规赛表现，45.5分12.3篮板11.2助攻2.3抢断3.2盖帽2.1失误3.5犯规。

While hitting a super triple-double, his shooting percentage was as high as 60.5%.

The shooting percentage is slightly lower than last season. This is because he is playing a point guard this season and has too many jump shots. The number of direct attacks to the basket has decreased.

With an absolute advantage, he won this season's scoring champion and the assist champion at the same time, becoming the second player in history to win both data champions at the same time, and the first player to win these two data champions at the same time twice in a row players.

The steal king was taken away by Iverson, averaging 2.5 times per game.

The block leader was taken away by Ratliff, who averaged 3.7 times per game.

The rebounding champion was won by Mutombo, averaging 13.5 per game.

Fortson, who was previously recognized as having a chance to win this honor, only averaged 6.4 rebounds per game this season. One was due to injuries, and the other was because there were too many players who could play inside. His playing time was affected, and he only averaged 25 minutes per game. time.

The Blazers did not fix the positions of power forward and center. O'Neal, Fortson, Grant, and Davis are the four main players in the rotation, with Mike Miller and the veteran German as substitutes.

Four players played two inside positions and grabbed 6.4 rebounds in such a short period of time. His rebound quality is still very good.

So much so that before the All-Star break, the Blazers received several applications to trade Fortson, but they were all rejected.

In order to win the championship at this time, Zhao Dong didn't want Fordson to leave. If he wanted to leave, he had to wait for him to establish a dynasty here before leaving.

For his superb performance in the regular season, Zhao Dong received high praise from almost all the media, almost singing praises.

In the history of the NBA, there is only one player who averaged a triple-double in the regular season, and that is Oscar Robert, nicknamed the Big O.

Big O and Zhao Dong have one thing in common, that is, they are both proficient in five positions, which is also the most important reason why they can average a triple-double per game.

61/62赛季，大O打出了场均30.8分12.5篮板11.4助攻的可怕数据，震惊了联盟。

And Zhao Dong's 40+ triple-double surpassed the big O in terms of scoring, but was slightly worse in terms of rebounds and assists.

A lot of media have commented on Zhao Dong and Big O, and it is generally believed that Zhao Dong is better than Big O.

As Magic Johnson, who can also play five positions, accepted an interview with the media and said: "There is no doubt that the dragon has some advantages in terms of statistics.

Of course, we also need to know that there were no three-pointers in that era, and Feilong can shoot an average of 2.6 three-pointers per game this season, which has a certain scoring advantage in this regard.

However, even with this advantage, it is impossible to deny the great performance of the Dragons better than the Big O, because this is the first big triple-double with an average of 40+ per game, and the Dragons are undoubtedly still No. 1 in history. "

The media interviewed him in Charlotte, the hometown of Big O, and asked him who was stronger in that season or Zhao Dong this season. Big O smiled and said: "We are people from different eras, and the rules of that era and this era are different. Big difference, I can't comment."

The media interviewed Zhao Dong again, and Zhao Dong said: "There is no need to comment, Big O played a great season, and I did the same."

For Zhao Dong, perhaps a triple-double of 40+ is not enough to overwhelm history. After all, the big O’s triple-double of 30+ per game is also there. Unless his three statistics completely surpass the big O, there is no need to go Dispute who is strong and who is weak.

On April 4, Kobe got married.

At noon, a Roman church on the outskirts of Los Angeles, where Kobe's wedding was being held.

Only a dozen of Vanessa's relatives and friends were invited. Kobe was alone here, without a single relative or friend, and without any media.

Not even his new agent, Rob Pelinka, was invited, including Phil Jackson.

A circular arch in the shape of a heart, covered with red rose petals, and the priest was standing in front of Bryant and Vanessa, ready to bless them.

Vanessa wore a floor-length white wedding dress, and Kobe wore a suit instead of a traditional tuxedo. The wedding was surprisingly low-key.

Kobe Bryant finally invited his parents and sisters last night, but they still brutally rejected him, so he has made a decision to completely break with his family.

This decision is decisive and will create a lot of negative news for him, but it is in line with his character.

Now that the wedding is about to start, Zhao Dong, the only guest he invited, did not show up. He has been waiting for half an hour, and he doesn't want to wait any longer.

He was not disappointed, he had already prepared himself mentally, even if no one blessed him, he would marry the girl he loved the most.

He took Vanessa's hand, and the two held hands tightly together, smiled at each other, and looked at the pastor, ready to receive the blessing.

Just as the pastor was about to speak, his gaze suddenly narrowed, and he looked outside and said, "Kobe, there should be a distinguished guest arriving, and it should be the guest you are waiting for."
