NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Chapter 138 The Derby Between Dazhi and Dabus
After Harrington was traded, the Raptors took Mobley to the second team, allowing Carter to play the third position and Lewis to play the fourth position.

The competitiveness of this lineup is actually not as good as when Harrington was there.

However, the strength of the Grizzlies is too poor, coupled with Bibby's little experience in the game, Billups played a game several times tonight, and the Grizzlies still lost in the end.

Tonight is Mobley's first start after coming to the Raptors, and he seized this hard-won opportunity fiercely.

With so many perimeters in the Raptors, he has no advantage over anyone, and he doesn't even seem to have an advantage compared to Ricky Davis.

The old cat is actually only 193 centimeters tall. It was not considered short to play the second position 20 years ago, but it is too short now.

The key point is that he can't play the No. [-] position, and his passing ability is almost zero.

If he doesn't seize every opportunity to perform, he feels that he will gradually become a marginal player for the Raptors.

The Grizzlies took 16 shots, and the Grizzlies' inside defense was not strong. Most of his 16 shots were hitting the basket, and he scored 26 points in the end, which was a very good performance.

As for Carter, this is his second start, and he still played a stable offensive performance, scoring 25 points in the game.

Miller scored 18 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists tonight, and gradually found his own game rhythm.

After playing the Grizzlies, the Raptors' road trip is over, and they will return to home next.

The four consecutive home opponents are all powerful, namely the Knicks, Lakers, Pacers and Jazz.

The Jazz are definitely not powerful now. Malone has been suspended for 41 games, and there are only [-] games in total this season. He is almost equivalent to being suspended for the entire season.

Stockton has not yet returned from a suspension and will have to wait until the previous game against the Raptors to return.

Before the start of the game, the Jazz's record was not much better than that of the Grizzlies, with only three wins.

Comb still can't let go of the tragedy that happened in the finals last season. This time against the Jazz, even if Big Zhi has left the team, he will never let the Jazz go.

The Raptors' home game against the Knicks has not yet started, and it has sparked heated discussions in China and the United States.

Because this game is a real celestial derby.

After Dazhi entered the league and played for one season, the bus followed closely. Although he is currently playing as a substitute in most of the games in the Raptors, his statistics are not bad at all. He is currently averaging 17 points, 10.5 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game. data.

Once he is given enough playing time, he can easily record 20+10+3 super insider data.

Big Zhi is even more amazing. In the finals of last season, if Malone hadn't gone crazy, he would actually have a great chance of being awarded the FMVP. After coming to the Knicks this season, his partner with Ewing has become more and more compatible.

目前大郅能入账场均24.5分8.5篮板5助攻1.5抢断2.5盖帽的恐怖数据，顺带着因为他能拉开空间，尤因的数据对比上个赛季都好了不少。

At present, this pair of twin towers can average 45 points and 20 rebounds per game. If you only look at the data, they are even stronger than the Spurs twin towers.

The arrival of Big Zhi is definitely a complete improvement for the Knicks.

But there are gains and losses, because the salaries of Dazhi and Ewing are too scary, both of which are more than ten million, and the Knicks have to give up some outside players.

The madman who just got it not long ago was sold, and Starks, the team's main controller, was also sold.

The current outside lineup of the Knicks is the aunt, the CIC king, and the rookie point guard Charlie Ward.

Ward has been Starks' substitute before, and now he can be regarded as a mix-up.

"Look at our lineup?"

"Honestly, I feel no worse than last season's Raptors."

Before the game started, Thomas Sr. pointed to his Knicks and showed off to Comb.

Combe didn't answer him at all.

If he mocked the Knicks for being far inferior to the Raptors last season, Lao Deng would definitely say that the Knicks still lack a point guard to surpass the Raptors and let Comb think of a way.

Having dealt with Lao Deng a lot, when he lifts his butt, Kumbu knows what he's going to do.

"By the way, I heard that someone scolded you, and it was a gang crime."

Seeing that Kongbu didn't answer, he simply said something that Kongbu was interested in.

Sure enough, these words aroused Kong Bu's interest, "Call me? Could it be you?"

"How could it be me? No matter where I am, when I hear Kumbu, I always give him a thumbs up."

"It's Ergin who scolded you. He said that he was cheated miserably and chose a parallel importer."

"Now their Clippers have become a joke, and the verbal deal has been reversed, and in the end they only got a parallel center."

"If they traded with you at the beginning, they might already be the second Nuggets team now. Look at the lineup of the Nuggets, it's really enviable."

Kong Bu was stunned, he really didn't expect such shameless people to exist in the world.

It was obvious that he was ungrateful for profit, but now he is blaming himself again. This Elgin Baylor is really not a fun thing.

No wonder he made it to the finals eight times and didn't win a single championship. He really deserved it!
"Didn't you say that gangs committed crimes? Who else?" Kong Bu asked curiously.

"And Jeff, he is now the head coach of the Clippers, taking over from Fitch."

"It's unlucky for Jeff to take over such a mess directly."

Kumbu nodded. It turned out to be Van Gundy Jr. This guy is really good in the league. As soon as he left the Knicks, he immediately found a job as a head coach.

"How did you know?"

"Do you still have eyeliner in the Clippers?"

Combe asked curiously.

"That's not true, but I'm old friends with the magician, and they had dinner with a group of people in Los Angeles."

"After drinking too much, I happened to talk about you, and a group of people immediately scolded you."

"Tell me how did you get along, kid? You're so unpopular."

Old Thomas was full of pride, as if he could be more popular than Combe.

"A bunch of jumping clowns, when I go to Los Angeles to play an away game in a few days, I will let them feel the danger of society."

"By the way, why are you still in contact with the magician? He is not a serious person."

Although Lao Deng was not a decent man, Combe didn't want him to be tricked. A magician could stab old Thomas in the back ten years ago. Who knows if he will do the same thing in the future.

"envy!"

"You're just jealous that I have an old friend like a magician."

"I have been in the league for decades. Apart from the Pistons, my only friend is the magician. Why can't I contact him."

"Is he serious or not, can I not know?"

Old Thomas still didn't seem to know that he was stabbed.

Kong Bu sighed, it was too miserable, he was stabbed by his only friend, and when he knew what he really wanted, he couldn't help but go crazy.

……

The game on the field has already started.

To play against a strong team like the Knicks, it is definitely impossible for Comb to use the second team. Tonight he not only activated the first team, but also put the bus into the starting list.

Bus, Jermaine O'Neill, Mashburn, McGrady plus flounder.

Big Ben was placed on the bench, and he can actually play against Ewing, but tonight is the Celestial Derby after all, and Kumbu wants to start on the bus.

Big Bus is not very suitable to match up with Big Zhi, Xiao Ao is more suitable, so just let Big Ben come on the bench.

The jump ball started, and Da Zhi won again by jumping.

It seems that after Dazhi entered the league, he has never lost a jump ball, at least not in the Raptors.

The Knicks started to organize the offense.

Ward was a player who entered the league in 94. He actually has a lot of experience in the game. He didn't advance quickly, but waited until all his teammates were in the frontcourt before slowly controlling the ball across the half-court line.

Da Zhi mentioned a high position.

Ward immediately passed the ball to CIC King Houston, and then Da Zhi immediately ran over to do the pick-and-roll.

McGrady and Xiao Ao were marking separately.

Then Da Zhi made a gesture and rushed towards the basket, Xiao Ao hurriedly followed, but Da Zhi ran back, immediately ran out of space, and received a pass from Houston.

Comfortable mid-range shot, two points scored.

Kong Bu was speechless, did Old Thomas steal his lesson?
The style of play on the court is obviously the same as the Raptors' style of play last season.

Combe stole from the Jazz, only to be stole by old Thomas.

In fact, to be precise, the object of Kumbu's stealing teacher cannot be said to be the Jazz, but Popovich.

The pick-and-roll he used in the Raptors last season was not quite the same as the Jazz. It was more similar to the inside and outside pick-and-roll tactics used by Nowitzki and Jet Terry when the general Avery Johnson coached the Mavericks.

Big Zhi's current style is a bit like Nowitzki, except that the basket may not be as good as Nowitzki, but his other abilities are better than Nowitzki, and Billups acts as a Jet Terry character of.

The little general is Popovich's direct coach, and stealing from the little general is almost equal to stealing from Popovich.

Now the Knicks don't have a top-notch point guard. Old Thomas has some brains. Even if it's not much, he let the CIC Wang and Big Zhi cooperate with the pick-and-roll, and the effect is not bad.

It's a pity that the Raptors have no big Zhi this season, and it is already difficult for Comb to play the pick-and-roll tactics of last season.

Xiao Ao's attack range is too short, and his shots are not decisive enough. When he takes aim and shoots, the day lily will be cold, which is why he is easily hated.

Old Thomas was full of pride. His first reaction after getting the Big Zhi was to play a pick-and-roll and bring the Raptors' tactics to the Knicks.

Since the start of the new season, they have relied on this simple tactic, coupled with the suppressive advantage of the inside twin towers. They have now achieved a record of 14 wins and 3 losses, one more than the Bulls. They are currently ranked No. [-] in the Eastern Conference. two.

Second only to the Raptors with 16 wins and 1 loss.

Not only the fans are extremely satisfied with the Knicks' reborn qualitative change, but the boss and general manager Ernie are also extremely satisfied. Even the old ghosts in the team have begun to respect the old Thomas.

Lao Deng directly enjoyed the treatment of a big star in the Knicks.

When it came to the Raptors' offensive round, Billups made a straight pass and passed the ball to the bus.

The bus decisively hit Ewing with a low back.

Both of them looked ferocious in appearance, and they were about the same size, but the size of the bus was obviously thicker and thicker.

The bus under the basket was like a mad bull, hitting Ewing behind him with its back one after another.

How could Ewing's old bones withstand this kind of torture? After being hit three times, he quickly stepped aside and gave the bus a chance to dunk at the basket.

In the first defensive round in the opening game, he was dunked by the bus, and Ewing was very uncomfortable.

He felt that Kumbu was a broom star. The big Ben he got last season beat himself half to death.

This season, he got a bus and almost knocked himself apart.

Originally, he was quite happy to see that Daben didn't start tonight, because if Daben was on the court, not only would he not be able to grab the rebounds from Daben, but he would also be tightly restricted by Daben on the offensive end.

Now he felt that it was too early to be happy.

It was the Knicks' offensive round again, and Big Zhi still made a shot. This time it was a three-pointer from the outside, but he failed to make a shot.

The bus and Ewing at the basket were fighting for position, but in the end Ewing was defeated and was squeezed behind by the bus, and the rebound was easily caught by the bus.

After getting the rebound, the bus was passed to Billups immediately, and then after reaching the frontcourt, it was Ewing hard again, scoring two points at the basket.

The players on both sides have a tacit understanding. Knowing that tonight is a derby between two Chinese insiders, they are trying to pass the ball to them as much as possible.

After hitting and hitting, Ewing didn't go to push the bus at all. He stood beside the bus, waiting for the bus to make a shot before going to block the shot.

It's best to cover as much as you can, and you can retain some physical energy if you can't cover yourself.

Kong Bu sat on the sidelines, smacking his lips, and the Knicks turned out to be stronger than he imagined.

Originally, he thought it would be an easy and comfortable victory against the Knicks and put the bus on the court.

As a result, the score between the two sides was very tight. After the third quarter, it was impossible to see who would win.

Aunt Johnson's performance made Combe feel unreal.

When he first entered the league, even though he was only 198 cm tall, he played inside and easily averaged 20 points and 10 rebounds per game.

Later, after coming to the Knicks, he gradually began to transform, playing outside.

This season, he has completely transformed successfully, and he doesn't take many shots, but he throws a three-pointer from time to time, and the key is terribly accurate.

On the defensive end, relying on its own strong strength, it is not good to defend the [-]rd position of those big men shooting, but the defense against Mashburn is very efficient.

It's not that Kongbu never thought about replacing Lewis, but after he replaced it, the aunt beat Lewis with all kinds of backs and forced him, which made Kongbu very depressed.

Fortunately, the Knicks' No. [-] position is a short board. Ward has a good character, but his strength is too bad.

Domestic fans must have some impressions of Ward. He is Yao Ming's old teammate, and later worked as an assistant coach on the Rockets coaching staff for a while.

When Yao Ming had a stomachache, he even found a folk prescription to treat Yao Ming's illness.

If the Knicks have a point guard of Billups' level at the No. [-] position, it may be really difficult for the Raptors to pass the Knicks in the playoffs this season.

The game was not decided until the last 3 minutes. In the first three quarters, McGrady scored 11 points in total, and scored six consecutive points at the last moment, helping the Raptors to establish an advantage.

In the end, the Raptors sat at home and narrowly won by three points 97:94.

After losing the game, the old Thomas didn't show any displeasure at losing the game, on the contrary, he showed his big white teeth happily.

He is well aware of how terrifying the Raptors' combat power is. His Knicks can only lose three points under the hands of the Raptors, which has completely exceeded his expectations.

In the uncertain playoffs, the Knicks may really have a chance to win the Raptors.

"Dear audience friends, this classic battle is over."

"The strength of the Knicks, with the arrival of Big Zhi, has reached the point where it can compete with the Raptors."

"At the same time, we can also find that under the training of Kumbu, the coach has already reached the level of a superstar in the league."

"Da Zhi scored 51 points and 10 rebounds tonight, and Daba scored 44 points and 16 rebounds on Ewing."

"The performance of the two Chinese players is shocking. We are very much looking forward to the upcoming Asian Championships this year. I believe that the Chinese insider twin towers will definitely give us a surprise."

In the commentary room of TV Y, Su Qun was extremely excited. The duel between two powerful alliance teams turned into a duel between two super insiders of the Celestial Dynasty. As the commentator of the Celestial Dynasty, he was of course excited.

"I heard that Director Kong has agreed to coach this year's men's basketball national team, and he will lead the team to participate in the Asian Championships."

"I believe that under the leadership of Kong and top stars such as Dazhi and Daba, this Asian Championship will definitely not repeat the same mistakes."

Xu Jicheng told the fans watching the game a news that had not been officially announced.

The fans cheered happily, with Kong Bu leading the team and a big bus, it would be too outrageous for the Asian Championships to lose.

The Tianchao men's basketball team has always been the hegemony in Asia, but it is a pity that they lost in the last Asian Championships.

First losing to the Bazi team, and then losing to the Bangzi team in the final, I feel embarrassing when I think about it, it is a shame among shame.

It's all right now, with such a team of superstars, it's hard to lose.
