The silver-haired old gentleman is none other than NBA legend Jerry West.

Jerry West played for the Lakers as a player, and he has had a glittering career.

It is said that the league's logo is based on his dribbling movements.

After retiring from the game, West served as the Lakers' head coach and general manager, most famously trading for No. 13 Hornets rookie Kobe Bryant in the 1996 draft, signing the Sharks from the Magic, and hiring Zen Master as the Lakers' head coach.

This operation laid the cornerstone of the Lakers dynasty!

The Lakers' ShowTime era in the '80s and the three-peats dynasty at the beginning of this century are all closely related to West.

After leaving the Lakers, West became a member of the Warriors' management in 2011, where he pushed back a trade proposal to trade Thompson for Love.

West has been partly responsible for the Warriors' successive championships.

Because of West's success, Clippers owner Ballmer recruited West from the Warriors in 2017 and hired him as a special advisor to the team.

Under West's leadership, the Clippers are also actively rebuilding.

When free agency opened in 2017, West knew Paul wanted to leave the Clippers, so he quickly traded him out.

In exchange for a bunch of instant power and draft picks.

Finding the next rebuilding core for the Clippers is what West is currently working on.

West didn't pay attention to Zhao Yong on the first day, he started to notice Zhao Yong in the third game of his outstanding performance.

West couldn't have imagined that Zhao Yong's performance would continue to be so strong.

At first, he still had some concerns about Zhao Yong, after all, the position of power forward was not pleasant in this era.

Then Zhao Yong is still a short big forward.

When Griffin first entered the league, his playing style was also very strong, compared to Zhao Yong, but now?

After frequent injuries, Griffin lost his shine.

In today's game, West dispelled his concerns.

Zhao Yong showed extremely good guard fundamentals, which means that he can be transformed into a guard, and no matter how bad he is, he can also play small forward.

Excellent dribbling skills, good big-picture view, and passing skills.

These are all defenders' talents, and it's hard to practice!!

If Zhao Yong can successfully change to the No. 1 position, it will be absolutely terrifying.

Jerry West made up his mind to get Zhao Yong.

.........

"The cornerstone of the team?" Clippers owner Ballmer's voice came over the phone.

As the richest owner in the NBA, Ballmer aimed at the championship after buying the Clippers.

It's just a pity that it's much harder to win a championship in the NBA than it is for him to make money, and the NBA is not a game where you can win a championship by simply throwing money at it.

The Knicks also often throw money at it, but they often keep a bunch of garbage contracts, and the owner is ridiculed by fans and the media every day for being stupid.

"Yes, the cornerstone of the team, the kind around which we can build the team." West explained.

"Who are you talking about? A college student with potential or an active all-yin star? Ballmer asked.

"Neither, Zhao Yong, that crazy flying pig from Boston." West said.

Also as a veteran fan, Ballmer naturally knows the name of Zhao Yong, who has become popular recently.

"Jerry, if I'm not mistaken, he's a second-round pick, and then, he's still a power forward, and he's the same position as Blake, and he's too short for his height to play inside." Ballmer said.

It's really awesome when Griffin is healthy, but now, I can't see it, there are such cases, and it is difficult for Ballmer to have confidence in Zhao Yong.

Talent and style of play are here.

It's not just him who thinks so, it's almost all in the league.

How can Zhao Yong's style of play be used as the core?

"Actually, I think he's better suited to a point guard with the ball than a power forward." Jerry West said.

"Man, I heard you right, right? He plays point guard? "Ballmer was a little incredulous.

"yes, he's in the No. 1 position, all the disadvantages are going to be advantages, his height, his reach, his weight, think about it, God, this guy is going to be a nightmare for all the No. 1s." Jerry West is dreaming about the future for Ballmer.

Ballmer paused slightly.

"If you decide, then I will support your decision, and you communicate with Mitchell and Lawrence on the operational side."

Ballmer found it a little difficult to understand West's thoughts, but he felt he could trust West's vision.

West has used countless references to his eye-catching.

Mitchell Wenger is the general manager of the Clippers, an executive poached by the Clippers from the Thunder, and Lawrence Frank is the president of basketball operations!

The Clippers have undergone a major change in management this season, and Rivers has changed from a top-down package to a professional manager's division of labor.

Both of them are new to their posts, and they both need to make some achievements.

"Okay, then I'll talk to the two of them." West said excitedly.

After getting the approval of the big boss, the next step is to execute!

West felt that Anji should not have discovered Zhao Yong's true value, and he still cared more about the two flower shows.

As an old rival, West knows Ange's personality very well.

Picking the door and being childish, as long as a person with this kind of personality gives him a little sweetness and makes him think that he has taken advantage, then this matter will be easy to do.

West probably has a poaching plan!

............

TD North Shore Garden Arena, Boston.

The Celtics and 76ers are in full swing!

The time also came to the final attack of the first half.

The score was 54-65.

After Irving's departure, Zhao Yong became the main offensive force of the Celtics.

Of course, not every round is played by Zhao Yong, and Tatum and Brown are also very involved in the offense, which also gives the Celtics an advantage at home.

Celtic's possession of the ball.

There are 14 seconds left in the attacking time.

Smart dribbled past half court and gave the ball to Zhao Yong.

Zhao Yong has been doing a great job handling the ball.

Zhao Yong motioned for Monroe to come up and cover.

After the cover, Monroe took Covington, who was following him, and left Embiid alone.

That's right!

Zhao Yong continued to name Embiid for military training.

Embiid also can't pull down his face to ask his teammates to help defend him.

So the heads-up situation was formed again.

"him!"

"Kill him with a breakthrough, haha!"

"If you want to fight singles by name, you will die of laughter, the emperor is nothing more than that."

"To be honest, Zhao's one-on-one ability is a bit beyond my imagination."

"Zhao's singles ability is too strong."

Embiid kept adjusting his pace, his feet continued to move, and he wanted to prevent Zhao Yong's attack, but he was always embarrassed by him.

With only 8 seconds left on offense, Zhao Yong began to dribble under Embiid's crotch.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Three consecutive rhythm shifts, which was torture for Embiid.

Embiid couldn't figure out whether Zhao Yong wanted to break through or step back to shoot.

Around!

Right Left!

After repeated pulling, Zhao Yong quickly slapped the ball from the left to the right.

Embiid's center of gravity was also mobilized, and he couldn't keep up with Zhao Yong's pace, Zhao Yong exploded and accelerated, and Embiid was passed by the right side.

Embiid turned and chased back.

At this time, Zhao Yong felt that the rhythm was coming, and used his shoulders to give Embiid a confrontation!

The relay rebounds, and the crotch retreats outside the three-point line!

Embiid lost his center of gravity at this time, fell heavily to the ground, and was unable to defend Zhao Yong again.

Zhao Yong stopped outside the three-point line with the ball, looked down at Embiid, and made a three-point shot with a slight adjustment!!

"Buzz !!"

"Huh!"

Three-point shot at the whistle, one arrow through the heart!!

54 to 68.

After the last time [Retreat Step Three] was promoted to the intermediate level, Zhao Yong Yin Xian felt that this skill had become more useful.

"Zhao 、、、 Yong !!" The DJ at TD North Shore Gardens was shouting wildly.

Driven by the DJ, the fans also cheered Zhao Yong with a tidal wave of screams.

Owen is injured, it doesn't matter, and Zhao Yong.

Zhao Yongzhi was stunned, carried the team on his shoulders, and firmly suppressed the 76ers to play.

Zhao Yong also followed his teammates to celebrate.

Embiid lowered his head, extremely frustrated, and he couldn't keep up with Zhao Yong's footsteps on the outside.

"That's so cool, Zhao, I love you!" Kendall Jenner threw a flying kiss at Zhao Yong.

Zhao Yong's performance in the final moments was fantastic!

Jenner also likes basketball, otherwise she wouldn't often come to the game and like to have NBA players as her boyfriend.

Zhao Yong was much more brave than Simmons in the first half.

"Fack, I love him to death."

"Zhao is really a leader."

"I love this guy's singles!"

"Embiid is going to be beaten and cried."

The fans were also excited.

.....

Barkley laughed: "Zhao Yong's excellent outside pace shook Embiid to the ground, OMG, I never thought this would happen to him." ”

"We all underestimated Zhao's ability to carry the ball on the outside, this guy just didn't have a chance before, and this time Irving wasn't there, and he got his chance," Smith said. ”

O'Neill said: "What a nimble dead fat man, the previous Fliggy would not have played such outside singles. ”

Barkley said: "Shaq, then you are underestimating me, it's just that the coach didn't give me a chance at the time, and I can also play at shooting guard." ”

Barkley said unashamedly.

Reggie Miller laughed, "Fake, don't be funny. ”

......

Zhao Yong scored a full 23 points in the first half, and this exaggerated individual score helped the Celtics firmly suppress the 76ers.

On the sidelines, Zhao Yong was stopped by a black beauty reporter from ESPN.

This beautiful reporter is an acquaintance, with long legs, named Mariah Taylor.

Taylor asked, "Zhao, you had as many as eight rounds of singles against Embiid in the first half, and you hit seven of them, do you want to convey something to the outside world?" ”

Zhao Yong said: "He has the best defense to play, if we want to win, I have to attack him, there is nothing wrong with it." ”

Zhao Yong said it very sincerely.

Taylor then asked, "Is Irving's injury an opportunity for you?" ”

Zhao Yong said: "Nobody wants to see injuries, I hope Kerry recovers soon. ”

Indeed, although his chances will indeed change so much because of Owen's injury, Zhao Yong will not curse others for being injured.

Injuries are the enemy of all athletes, and Zhao Yong's heart is not so bad.

Besides, the current Zhao Yong is not afraid to compete with anyone!

Taylor then asked, "You've shown a lot of ball-handling skills, are you trying to transition to playing small forward?" ”

Zhao Yong said: "It all stems from the positioning of the team towards me, and what the team needs me to do, then I will do something. ”

Taylor asked: "Kendall Jenner revealed that she is your fan, she also appeared in "Walking with the Kardashian", you are the first male star she wants to date in the NBA, what do you think?" ”

Zhao Yong said: "Thank you for her support and recognition, I have nothing to say." ”

Zhao Yong has adapted to the openness of the old beauty, they like a person, and many times they will say it directly, and there will not be too much tactfulness.

After finishing the interview.

Zhao Yong returned to the locker room.

Irving was not in the locker room, and according to Tatum, who came back first, Irving had already been taken to the hospital for further testing.

Irving isn't in the locker room, and the Celtics are clearly a little more active.

Of course, everyone tacitly did not mention it.

When Stevens arranged the tactics in the second half, he aggravated Zhao Yong's offensive scene.

Zhao Yong's performance in the first half was the backbone of the team, and the team was able to take the lead after Irving's injury, and Zhao Yong took the most credit.

Zhao Yong was a little bit of a fool of them.

The 76ers will also use this time to adjust, and they will definitely launch a crazy counterattack as well!

The Celtics players didn't have much to say about adding Zhao Yong's offensive tactics with the ball.

In the first half, Zhao Yong's round of outside military training Embiid has conquered everyone.

The 76ers are there.

Irving's absence in the second half is good news for them.

Even after facing a double-digit deficit, they still had the confidence to come back from the game.

Zhao Yong's performance in the first half, they thought it was more because they didn't pay attention to it.

The second half of the game started quickly.

The lineup on the Celtics' side, Smart, Tatum, Brown, Zhao Yong, Theis.

76ers lineup, Simmons, Redick, Covington, Saric, Embiid.

Coach Brown didn't dare to be the same as in the first half, putting two guys on the outside who didn't dare to shoot, which would be too much of a challenge for the interior offense.

The 76ers attacked first.

Simmons dribbled across the halfcourt.

Simmons immediately gave the ball to Saric on the right side of the free throw line.

Saric leaned over to hold the ball and observed, and he was not the starting point of the attack, but the point of response.

It's just that Saric still underestimates Zhao Yong's aggression in basketball.

Zhao Yong squeezed directly with his body, passed, and then went directly to grab the ball in Saric's hand with both hands.

Zhao Yong grabbed it, fast and accurate.

Bring it to you!

Zhao Yong pulled the ball directly over with both hands.

Saric was brought down by the ball.

"Bang!!"

Saric hit the streets.

The ball was held for too short a time, and the referee still had no intention of blowing the whistle for the ball.

Zhao Yong's robbery +1, he gives the ball to Smart.

Saric got up and appealed to the referee, saying that the ball was at least a scrum.

It's too faceless to be cut off the ball like this.

"It is recommended that the NBA add a data column to Zhao Yong, robbery!"

"Zhao Yong's average of two robbery targets per game has been completed."

"I want to laugh when I see Saric now."

"Zhao Yong can catch the ball accurately every time, and then the opponent can't grab him."

The fans on the scene and the fans on the Internet were extremely convinced of Zhao Yong's move.
