NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Chapter 135 The biggest humiliation since time travel

The Raptors have won three consecutive games, and the defending champions are still going strong this season.

Kumbu is waiting now, waiting for the group of rookies to quickly complete two and a half years of training, and then he will give the league teams a bigger surprise.

The day after winning the Green Kai, Kong Bu was sitting in the office chatting with old Meschery.

The two chattered about everything from Soviet chatter to climbing snow-capped mountains and crossing grasslands.

"Coach, are you busy?"

Duron Davis stood at the door of Combe's office with his head stretched out.

"Not busy, come in."

Kong Bu got a headache when he saw the poisonous dragon, and he didn't know what he would do if he came to look for him.

"Coach, thank you for taking special care of me."

"I want to give you a gift, which I carefully selected and is very meaningful."

After Dulong finished speaking, he took out an exquisitely packaged gift box from behind.

His idea is very simple. Kumbu asked McGrady to take a break to give himself a chance to start. He really took special care of himself.

Kong Bu laughed, and he didn't feel so disgusted when he saw the poisonous dragon in an instant. This kid is still very heart-warming.

No matter how sweet a girl is, there are also salty places, and no matter how stupid a person is, there is also a pleasing place. Dulong knows how to give gifts, that is a good boy.

After receiving the gift from Duron, Kongbu unwrapped it.

It's a pair of clogs.

Kong Bu frowned, what the hell is this?

He thought that what Dulong gave was an expensive gift like a Rolex, what kind of thing was it to give a pair of clogs?

And where did he get the clogs?
"This is?"

Kong Bu was also embarrassed to express his disgust. After all, this is a gift, and it is said that gifts are light and affectionate.

"Coach, don't you know him?"

"Clogs, the coach wears them when he's homesick."

Kongbu and Meschery on the side stared at each other. What does it mean to wear wooden clogs when homesick?

As if thinking of something, Meschery frowned and asked, "Young man, do you know which country your coach is from?"

Dulong didn't even think about it, and replied directly: "Japanese."

Kong Bu, who was standing aside with wooden clogs in his hand, turned green.

He swears that this is the greatest humiliation he has encountered since time travel, even if Strickland scolded him on the field, the degree of humiliation is far better than at this moment.

"Young man, I advise you to run quickly."

"Although I also want to strangle you to death in this office."

Meschery stared at Duron Davis and said in a cold voice.

He was captured and sent to a concentration camp by the little devil, so of course he didn't like the little devil.

The poisonous dragon Davis had a dull face, completely unaware of what happened, but when he saw Kong Bu's miserable green expression, he knew that he might have gotten into trouble.

"Come here, open your eyes and take a closer look, why does I look like a devil?"

"Your grandma is the devil, and your whole family are devils."

"In addition, let me give you some popular science. Clogs are something that China has worn for more than 3000 years,"

"Hurry up and get out now, or I will let you not get a second of appearance time in the next few years."

Kong Bu's good mood for the day was completely ruined by the poisonous dragon. He really wanted to peel off the poisonous dragon's head to see what was inside.

The poisonous dragon was scared out of his wits, what happened?Why did I come to give a gift with good intentions, but it turned out to be a disaster.

Feeling that Kong Bu was going to kill himself in the next second, he quickly ran away with his wooden clogs.

"What a rare idiot."

"The children nowadays are getting worse and worse."

Meschery shook his head and sighed.

"Sell this stupid thing tomorrow, and keep it to piss people off."

"Old man, go talk to Glenn and let him contact the buyer for me."

"It doesn't matter if it's expensive or not, as long as it can be sold."

Kong Bu originally chose Dulong because he wanted to fatten up and sell it, but now he has only played three games.

But Kongbu couldn't wait that long. If he kept this guy in the team, he would be pissed off, and Daben and the others probably felt uncomfortable.

There is no such rookie player who grabs data from his teammates, that is, Kumbu has absolute prestige in the team, and the veteran champions like Daben are embarrassed to get angry at Dulong.

If it was placed on another team, Dulong could be beaten nine times in three days.

Meschery smiled and went to look for Shalun.

After a while, Sha Lun came running in a hurry.

"Kong, are you sure you want to sell Ricky? What a pity, isn't it?"

"What the hell happened? Didn't he just hit a 30-point super triple-double?"

Sha Lun feels that he is living very exciting every day now. It has only been a week since the start of the competition, and his heart has been stimulated several times.

"Don't ask, if you don't want me to be sent to the ICU tomorrow, find a buyer."

"The chips don't matter, you can figure it out yourself."

In order to get rid of it quickly, Kong Bu didn't bother to care about the selling price.

Hearing that Kong Bu let him figure it out, Sha Lun suddenly regained his energy, and it was time for him to act again.

Regarding Miller's deal before, he felt that he actually made a profit, but Combe canceled the deal.

Now that he had another opportunity to lead the transaction, he decided to take advantage of it.

"By the way, don't trade me for a 35-year-old man."

"It's better to change the pick."

Kumbu was afraid that Shalun would be exchanged for an old man like Richmond, so he hurriedly reminded him.

If he didn't remind him, he didn't even dare to think about what kind of deal Sha Lun would make.

"Kong, in fact, my trading talent has been buried by Isiah."

"Don't worry, this transaction will definitely satisfy you."

After getting the trading authority, Sha Lun felt that his life was fulfilled.

He quickly contacted some team executives who are familiar with him in normal times, and released the news that the Raptors will put Ricky Davis on the shelf.

The circle of the NBA is not big, the news was released in the morning, and it was immediately known to everyone in the league in the afternoon.

Comb's phone rings off the hook again, and it's impossible for Old Thomas to let go of this opportunity to take advantage.

It's a pity that no matter who the caller received, Kumbu only had one reply, that is, this matter is not in his control, and the trading authority is with Glenn.

"Pat, you should give up this idea. If I really sold you to the Heat, do you think Comb will let me lay off overnight?"

Sha Lun received a call from the Heat Pat Riley.

Riley is too excited. Last season, he experimented with a lineup of two point guards, but the effect was not satisfactory.

If you can bring in the Duron, who seems to be quite capable in immediate combat, the backcourt formed with Tim Hardaway will become more competitive.

The Heat are also very annoying now, the Bulls have not disintegrated, the Raptors are still strong, the Pacers can deal with them enough, and now there is another Knicks.

If they don't improve the lineup, they may be worse this season than last season.

Just when Riley heard that the transaction was led by Sha Lun, he quickly called.

It's a pity that he still underestimated Kongbu's status in the Raptors. Knowing the conflict between him and Kongbu, Sha Lun would not dare to sell Dulong to the Heat.

Not only the Heat, but the Philadelphia 76ers also called to ask for the price.

But it wasn't Larry Brown who called, but their general manager Billy King. The offer they gave didn't impress Silen.

Sha Lun has directly become a busy person, and has to deal with the elites of the alliance every day. This feeling makes him addicted and makes him unable to extricate himself.

Kong Bu also said that the transaction should be done as soon as possible, regardless of the price. The transaction should have been completed in one day, but Sha Lun dragged it on for three days.

Three days later, Sha Lun walked into Kong Bu's office with a smile.

"Kong, the transaction has been completed. If you think there is no problem, I will report to the alliance."

After all, Sha Lun handed a note to Kong Bu.

The target of the trade is the Nuggets. The Raptors sent Ricky Davis in exchange for Tyronn Lue plus a 2000 first-round pick from the Nuggets.

"We are short of point guards, and it happened that the old Fitch called me and was willing to send this young point guard over."

"I've seen film of his game, grab a point on the bench, and he's totally capable."

Probably because he was afraid that Kong Bu would not know about Tyronn Lu, Sha Lun deliberately told the situation of Grandpa Lu.

Kumbu didn't know much about Grandpa Lu. Hearing this name, he automatically imagined the image of Iverson walking past him.

"Their lineup this year is very gorgeous, so I didn't ask for the 99 picks, I asked for a 2000 pick."

Shalun continued to explain.

Kong Bu nodded, this deal is really not profitable.

After the Nuggets got Wu Sheng and Camby from Comb, they got back the future All-Star insider Antonio McDyess from the Suns, and then took Fan Crazy who was sold by the Lakers.

McDyess, who was ranked second in 95, was originally a player for the Nuggets. After playing for the Nuggets for two years, he was sent to the Suns last season in a weird way.

Comb guessed that there must be something tricky between the Suns and the Nuggets. Maybe the Suns thought they had a chance to win the championship last season, so they made a shady deal with the Nuggets and seconded McDyess for a year.

McDyess is back again this season.

McDyess also belongs to the kind of space-oriented power forward who is more inclined to shoot, and he is very suitable as a partner with Camby.

The Nuggets also have their own twin towers, and then there is Wu Sheng at the third position, and Fan Crazy at the first position.

Now if they get the second position from the Raptors, they will have something in their starting lineup.

Crazy Fan decided the upper and lower limits of this team. He played well. The Nuggets didn't talk about the Western Conference Finals, at least there was no problem in the Western Conference Semifinals.

It's a pity that Crazy Fan has rarely played well in the playoffs.

In any case, the Nuggets are completely backed up, and Kumbu is really happy for old Fitch from the bottom of his heart.

The Nuggets are strong, so the value of the draft pick is naturally low. Even with the addition of a rookie point guard, Grandpa Lu, the deal is not profitable.

You must know that Dulong was selected by Combe with a lottery pick.

"The transaction is okay, go report to Stern."

"Send Ricky away as soon as possible, I don't want to see him on my training ground again."

Since he was making a deal with Fitch, an old acquaintance, Comb didn't care whether he made a profit or a loss. Anyway, the Raptors still had Carter and Mobley at the second position, which was enough.

Sha Lun is a little dissatisfied with Kong Bu's evaluation, what does it mean?

Combe didn't say whether he made a profit or a loss.

He didn't dare to ask carefully, if the answer he asked was wrong, it would hurt his self-confidence.

……

Two weeks passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past two weeks, the Raptors had an extremely intensive schedule. They played a full 9 games, including two back-to-back games.

But the Raptors still gritted their teeth and persisted, and won 9 of 8 games.

The only game he lost was to the Bucks.

The Bucks last season were nothing to fear, but this season they have signs of rising.

Mainly, George Karl, who likes to train and shoot, resigned from the Supersonics in the West and came to the East to coach the Bucks.

Not only that, on the basis of the original big dog plus the gentleman's sword Ray Allen, the old Karl traded the Nets' master alien Cassel.

Formed a lineup of three musketeers, the offensive firepower is quite amazing, and the three can score more than 60 points per game.

The Raptors' backcourt trio couldn't get so many points per game.

In back-to-back situations, he was finally cast to death by the Bucks.

Kumbu found that Carl Sr. seemed to be his nemesis. Last season, he lost to Carl Sr.'s Supersonics in the regular season.

Came to coach the Bucks this season, and even won against Comb again.

On February 2, the Raptors challenged the Detroit Pistons away.

It was a mediocre regular season, but tonight is of great significance to Comb.

Because his rookie battle group is ready to come out.

During this time, Adelman Jr. has been training those five people's Princeton tactics. Because they have not conducted actual combat, no one knows how effective it will be.

Kumbu is very confident, and he is planning to open the game against the Pistons tonight to open everyone's eyes.

It just so happened that the previous schedule was too dense, and the core players were exhausted enough, so I took the opportunity to let them rest.

Big Ben, Jermaine, McGrady and Mashburn were all rested.

"Boss, are you really going to let them start? It's too risky."

Adelman Jr. has no confidence at all. Although the usual training looks pretty good, the players run tactics very well.

But that is training after all, and in actual combat, the devil knows what will happen.

Maybe he will be abused by Piston Blood for a few minutes tonight, maybe.

"Are you so unconfident about your tactical training ability?"

"Don't worry, you just wait for a blockbuster after tonight."

Comb smiled to appease the nervous little Adelman.

Dumars is at the scene tonight, and he is struggling. Two days ago, he wondered whether he should take advantage of Kumbu's away game tonight and talk to Kumbu about canceling the exchange of players.

Pierce has played more than ten games and is currently averaging 13 points per game.

This is still Grant Hill's sole possession of the ball. If Pierce is given more shots, his score may be even higher.

On the other hand, Lewis played terrible games in the first few games, and then he was simply hidden by Comb. Dumars hadn't seen Lewis play in several games.

He really wanted to cancel the deal, but he couldn't save face.
