Chapter 31: The End of the Preseason (300 Collections and Updates)

Although the game was hot before the start, when the game started, the situation was one-sided.

At 208 cm, Foyle could not stop Ilgoskas' attack at all, and the height advantage was extremely conspicuous at the moment. Facing Foyle's defense, Ilgoskas jumped, how to shoot.

Although Howard is not tall, his terrifying bounce, arm span and reflexes make up for his lack of height to a large extent. But Foyle, his physical fitness is just average, and when Howard can't play due to injury, the Magic's interior defense immediately drops more than a notch.

Ilgoskas said there was no pressure to play hard.

On the defensive end, Mr. Billionaire Shalad Lewis completely disappeared from the first quarter to the first half of the second quarter under Zhang Kong's defense, only five shots without a hit, and also received three blocks, but he was blocked.

Although Nelson still has some points, Damon Jones is too old and too slow to stop the impactful Nils. But when the Magic only had one point left for him to score sporadically, it didn't make much difference.

In the end, the game ended with a score of 88-110, and the Cavaliers slaughtered the Magic by 22 points, temporarily ending this 'revenge battle'.

The reason why I say it is temporary, because three days later, the knights drove to Orlando to challenge the magic again. At Amway Center, the Magic also failed to defend their home court, losing the game again 93-101.

After beating the Magic home and away, the Cavaliers left Toronto to challenge the Raptors.

In this game, James couldn't play because of the flu, and the Cavaliers were in trouble at the Raptors' home court.

Andre Bagyani is the kind of interior player that Zhang Kong is most annoying to deal with, and as a seven-foot big man floating outside, shooting three-pointers is enough to be excessive, and he is so accurate......

And Chris Bosh, although slightly tougher than Bhagyani, is of the same type, the same kind of interior that is good at long-distance operations, in order to defend them, Zhang Kong has to constantly pull to the outside, and once Zhang Kong pulls to the outside line, only Ilgoskas will guard the inside line will look full of holes.

And if Ilgoskas also pulls the outside line, the inside line is completely vacuum, not to mention, although Ilgoskas himself is very hard and serious, but the physical problems can not be made up for by hard work and seriousness, at his age, his physical fitness has long been much worse than before, not to mention that frequent injuries have already ruined his bounce ability and movement speed, and Ilgoskas, who was already slow, is now even slower.

Guarding under the basket, he can also rely on his height and experience to block the opponent's attack, pull it out, and only let others break through. After all, whether it is Bagnani or Chris Bosh, the ability to hold the ball is not weak.

If you really can't hold it, you will attack with all your strength and use your attack to directly destroy your opponent. In the NBA2K12, Zhang Kong has always done this, his offense is not a conventional weapon, but it does not mean that this weapon is not powerful, seven feet and an inch tall, 99 points of strength, except for a slight lack of tonnage, there are almost no weaknesses in back singles.

But not now, reality is not a game where you give the ball as soon as you ask for it. Besides, Zhang Kong's usual performance is a defensive interior line that is not good at attacking, and now he suddenly wants the ball to play, and I don't know if anyone will suspect anything, after all, he didn't attack at all yesterday, and today he suddenly opened up on the offensive end, this kind of thing is too weird.

Out of prudence, Zhang Kong did not choose to attack with the ball in the end, but focused his energy on what he could do.

On the defensive end, out of the need to defend Bagyani and Bosh, Zhang Kong had to give up the control of rebounds in the backcourt, but in the front court, Zhang Kong completely released his enthusiasm for rebounding.

Zhang grabbed ten offensive rebounds above the heads of Bagyani and Chris Bosh in the first quarter alone, grabbed eight more in the second quarter, and constantly sought physical confrontation with Bagyani and Chris Bosh in the restricted area. Chris Bosh was still strong on the inside even though he was knocked down again and again, and Bagyani ...... This thing is always soft.

The fall of the inside penalty area made the Cavaliers' breakthrough players suddenly active, although James could not play for the time being, the Cavaliers lost the most powerful battering ram, but the battering ram did not, there were still a few knives, Damon Jones, Gibson, Larry Hughes, Shannon Brown, Devon Brown and others took turns to impact, like a blunt knife cutting meat, slowly draining the blood of this herbivorous dinosaur.

With the Cavaliers' home win over the Pacers on October 27, all seven of the Cleveland Cavaliers' preseason games came to an end, and the Cavaliers also announced their strong comeback this season with a proud record of winning all seven preseason games. Especially in the two games that lost James, the Cavaliers still won in an orderly manner, which made the whole league see the terrifying state of the Cavaliers.

At the same time, as the best player in the Cavaliers, Zhang Kong's harvest is also quite rich. On the second day of a total of 1,230 preseason games across the league. The two weightless awards, Player of the Year and Rookie of the Preseason, fell to him after passing a series of comments and reviews that Zhang Kong couldn't understand at all.

For these two awards, Zhang Kong doesn't care. It's really because these two awards are so weightless, and they can't even compare with the best rookie of the month, so there are still trophies, and there is only one document for these two awards, which is like the certificate of three good students in elementary school.

Therefore, when he was told that he had won these two awards, Zhang Kong did not react. But his temporary agent, Rich Paul, seemed pleased, and he called to congratulate Zhang on the award, and told Zhang that because of these two awards, the contract amount being negotiated could rise further.

Rich Paul is the agent that James recommended to Zhang Kong. Although it is said to be a newcomer in the economic circle, because of James and CAA, he has a lot of connections and influence in the NBA, but because his qualifications are too shallow, he still lacks the contracts of some big-name stars, so it is difficult to step into the ranks of first-class agents.

This time, Rich Paul is looking for some short-term contracts, and the advantage of such a contract is that the money comes quickly and the contract is short, which will not have any impact on the future, and will not lose the benefits he deserves because of the long-term contract.

Rich Paul is optimistic about Zhang's future. Tell Zhang Kong that it is best for him not to consider signing a long-term contract in the near future, the amount of the contract will always be linked to his personal image and performance on the field, as long as he continues to play wonderful performances on the field, the amount of the contract will be higher.

Now those financial predators are still waiting and will not give too high a price, and he still needs to wait for big contracts.

Rich Paul is very interested in Zhang Kong, and he even thinks Zhang Kong has the potential to become a superstar. This made him eager to win Zhang Kong's agent contract and become Zhang Kong's official agent, instead of working as he is now. Officially because of this, in order to show his ability in front of Zhang Kong, he can be said to have tried his best to fight for more benefits for Zhang Kong.

James is a good recommendation, Rich Paul is indeed capable, although he still lacks some experience and qualifications, but he has already shown his strengths in terms of ability, just the day after the preseason, Rich Paul has already finalized three contracts for Zhang Kong.

A FITNESS COMPANY CALLED STROANG WANTED TO INVITE ZHANG KONG TO BE THEIR FACE FOR A ONE-YEAR CONTRACT, AFTER WHICH THEY WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL TO RENEW THE CONTRACT ON THE SAME TERMS IF THE RESULTS WERE GOOD. The contract amount is 1.1 million, in addition to a set of top-of-the-line fitness equipment and a crown VIP membership card, with which Zhang Kong can enjoy the top service treatment in any of STROANG's health clubs.

A snack company wanted Zhang Kong to endorse their new snack.

In addition, there is also a fishing supply company, and they want Zhang Kong to endorse their new fishing hooks.

Of the three endorsements, the highest is the first one, but the three contracts have one thing in common, the term is short and easy.

According to the content of the contract, Zhang Kong only needs to sign a letter, take a few photos, and can easily get money without even taking an advertisement. Rich Paul did not rush to sign Zhang Kong with a big contract, but started with some small contracts with a short term, and told Zhang Kong that this was the best option.

The amount of money involved in a large contract is huge, and the corresponding loss in the event of an accident is also very large. Rich Paul believes that Zhang Kong has a very bright future and does not need to rush to sign long-term contracts and big contracts, and can wait until the end of his rookie season to consider those big contracts, especially sneaker contracts. Of course, the more important reason is that those large companies are not willing to offer high prices for Zhang Short at the moment, and the huge amount of money makes them have to choose to be cautious.

Zhang Kong is very satisfied with Richie Paul's performance, although there are not many contracts signed, but Zhang Kong can see that Richie is indeed thinking about the problem from his own standpoint, rather than simply just wanting to win the contract quickly and get a commission, such an agent has an appetite for Zhang Kong.

So he took a break and officially signed a contract with Richie as his agent. Rich is very excited to officially sign a contract with Zhang Kong, although Zhang Kong is the last round of this draft, but he has shown more strength than all the rookies. If Zhang Kong goes well, he can at least have an All-Star caliber clientele, not to mention that this season, the Cavaliers have a good chance of reaching the Finals and winning the championship.

If the Cavaliers reach the Finals, then Zhang Kong's commercial value will inevitably jump even more.

At the same time, Zhang Kong has another characteristic that other players do not have, he is Chinese; This identity has directly jumped his commercial value to a new level.

Rich is now thinking about how to open up the Chinese market for Zhang Kong.
