NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Chapter 161 No.3 direct line coach

Bulls tonight's starting master is BJ Armstrong.

He was the main backup guard during the Bulls' first dynasty. When they won the championship in 93, he even played as a starter for a season.

Later, when Jordan retired for the first time, the fans transferred their love for Jordan to this little man and voted him as the All-Star starting guard in the East.

Starting All-Star guards averaging 14.8 points per game are not uncommon.

Later, after he showed his worth, he began to wander around the league. Now he is about to retire and returned to the Bulls.

Dampier jump ball succeeded, the Raptors began to attack.

Nash is a little flustered now, and he doesn't know what Combe means by the seven-second offense.

Is the seven seconds really necessary to complete an offensive round within seven seconds, or is it just a general reference, as long as the offensive rhythm is improved.

He didn't dare to take any chances. The competition for the No. [-] position in the Raptors was too fierce. He felt that it was God's blessing that he could get the starter tonight.

So regardless of what Kongbu meant, he decided to play in seven seconds as Kongbu said.

After Dampier allocated the ball to his side, Nash got the ball, and all his teammates rushed towards the frontcourt.

Nash quickly took control of the ball to the frontcourt. Seeing that Dampier was in the wrong position, he simply had a heart attack and passed the ball to Dampier with a false pass.

The Bulls' starting center tonight is Will Perdo.

He entered the league in 88 and played many seasons with the Bulls. He is very weak in terms of strength. It can even be said that with his strength, he should have been eliminated by the NBA long ago.

The reason why he was not eliminated was mainly because of Jordan.

In 91, he used several illegal screens in the team's training game, and then made Jordan anxious, and he went up and punched the eye with a cannonball.

It may be to keep his mouth shut, even if his strength is not good, he has always been able to hold the contract with the Bulls.

When Jordan beats his teammates, it is not just one or two. There are at least five or six players who have been beaten by him in the team.

"boom!"

After Dampier received the pass, Perdo hadn't reacted, he only heard the explosion on his head, and Dampier had already completed the turn and dunk.

When it came to the Bulls' offensive round, Armstrong singled Nash with the ball from the outside and scored from a mid-range shot.

It's not that Nash doesn't want to defend, but that he really can't defend.

It's the Raptors' round again. This time, the two-horse combination rushes toward the inside to attract the opponent's defensive attention.

After Lagabel finished the pick-and-roll for Nash, he received a pass and missed a three-pointer from the outside.

Dampier grabbed the rebound at the basket, turned around and dunked again.

Kong Bu was dumbfounded, this guy is a bit strong.

There is really nothing to say about physical fitness. There are really not many centers in the league who can do that just after grabbing a rebound and then turning around and dunking.

At least it is difficult for Daben and Daba to do it.

Then the Bulls' Kukoc hit a three-pointer, Dampier grabbed another rebound, quickly threw it to Nash, and strode forward.

He is indeed a rough guy, and asking him to run tactics may not work well.

However, Comb did not arrange tactics tonight. His only requirement for Dampier was to rush to the frontcourt and station at the basket as soon as possible.

Such a simple request, even an imbecile would know how to do it.

This time Maggette ran without the ball from beyond the three-point line. After receiving a pass from Nash, he raised his hand and made a three-pointer.

"Shh!"

Three points hollow into the net.

Maggette looked at his hands in disbelief, wondering if he was possessed by something dirty.

The offensive rhythm on the court was so fast that it stunned the Bulls' home fans.

Each offensive round is really compressed into seven seconds. Almost as long as Nash controls the ball to the frontcourt, he will distribute the ball immediately, and the teammates who get the ball will immediately shoot.

This requires Nash to have an overall view far beyond ordinary people, and know which teammate is more appropriate to pass the ball to.

Fortunately, what Nash lacks most is the big picture.

The game passed minute by minute, and Kumbu sat on the sidelines with a smug expression on his face.

The seven-second attack of stealing the teacher seems to be quite effective.

Because it is the first time to play such a rapid offensive rhythm, players on the field will inevitably make mistakes.

But after excluding these small mistakes, the five players on the Raptors field completely played the effect that Kumbu wanted.

All five of them found their own rhythm and position while playing.

Nash is really like a commanding general who sits in charge of the account. After he controls the ball to the frontcourt, he quickly analyzes the situation in the frontcourt, and then makes a decision.

Lagabel plays the role of a general's personal guard. His main responsibility is to share the defensive pressure for Nash, and he also throws some cold arrows from time to time. The offensive efficiency is very high.

Marion is everywhere on the defensive end. He may feel that the pressure of defending Kukoc is too small. From time to time, he can help Nash intercept opponents who are breaking through to the basket.

The offensive end has been playing cuts, how can Kukoc keep up with his footsteps, as long as Nash's ball can be passed smoothly, it can be a drop shot, a pick basket, or a direct dunk.

Maggette made space cuts from time to time, and ran without the ball on the outside from time to time. The three-pointers were like free money, one after another.

Dampier doesn't know if his opponent is too weak, or he really fits this style of play, and he is very bright on the field. Compared with Perdo, Dampier is really a bit of a second center.

This lineup played for almost 10 minutes in the first quarter, and has already established a 28-point advantage with 18:[-].

Comb immediately made substitutions, five ups and downs, replacing Big Ben, Bus, Pierce, Carter and Davis on the field.

McGrady and Payton are both rested tonight.

After the first starting team came on the field, the style and the second team were simply two extremes.

Incredibly slow.

Each of the five players on the field is the kind of player who slowly wears off the offensive end.

Needless to say, it often takes at least six or seven seconds for him to catch the ball and make a shot.

Both Pierce and Carter are the kind of players who like to face-to-basket singles, dawdling longer than the bus.

The bearded Davis is a bit similar to Deron Williams, the head of the Jazz later, who relied on his strength to make a living. He played a thin point guard with poor strength. He always played back and took a lot of time.

The Bulls had just adapted to the ultra-fast pace of Nash and others, and Combe immediately let them shrug, changing from an ultra-fast pace to an ultra-slow positional battle.

The first team played for 2 minutes in the first quarter, and 5 minutes in the second quarter, and Kumbu replaced the first team.

The Bulls, who had just adapted to the ultra-slow rhythm of positional warfare, collapsed immediately.

How to play this game?The rhythm changed back and forth, and he was shaken into a neuropathy.

Bulls coach Tim Floyd's egg hurts very much. He worked as an assistant for Zen Master before and has witnessed many times that Zen Master and Combe's dispatched troops will confront each other.

He originally thought about fighting against Kongbu tonight.

Although the current lineup of the Bulls is as bad as grandma's house, the player styles are very diverse. My goal is not to win, but to show off the resilience on the sidelines.

As a result, Kong Bu directly poured a basin of bitter cold water on him, all up and down, and did not give Floyd a chance at all.

Floyd was even more uncomfortable until the second half.

The field has been completely crushed by the Raptors, he wanted to surrender quickly and let the game enter garbage time.

But he suddenly discovered that the Raptors don't have marginal players at all. Tonight they have a total of ten players, divided into two lineups.

No matter which lineup is put on the field, they can crush the Bulls.

Even if the weakest player is picked from the two lineups, it is definitely not something the Bulls can parry.

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the Raptors won by 122 points with a score of 98:24.

The reason why they won so little is that Comb asked the Raptors to give up their defense as much as possible in the second half. They had no grievances with the Bulls. It makes no sense for them to lose [-] to [-] points tonight.

After the game, Kongbu held the technical statistics table, smacked his lips and began to appreciate it.

The highest score in the game was actually Maggette. He played 27 minutes tonight and took 16 shots, including 11 three-pointers. He just completed the task arranged by Kumbu.

11 three-point shots hit a terrible 7 three-pointers, and the other 5 shots, including 1 mid-range shot, failed to score, and the other [-] were empty cuts, received Nash's pass, and shot at the basket Scored four times and scored three.

By the way, he also made 5 of 4 free throws, for a total of 31 points.

马里昂的数据也不错，他全场贡献了12分7篮板3助攻4抢断2盖帽，8中5的命中率，罚球4中2。

The defensive end can be said to be everywhere, and Kukoc only scored 11 points against him tonight.

Kukoc is the core output point of the Bulls, and he scored 11 points. It is no wonder that the Bulls were not beaten.

Lagabel took 6 shots, all of which were three-pointers, scored three of them, scored 9 points, 2 assists, 1 rebound and 2 steals, and did everything that should be done.

The performance of these three people in the second team made Combe very satisfied.

But to say amazing, Combe think Nash and Dampier's performance is the most amazing.

第二阵容一共出战了27分钟，丹皮尔在短短27分钟的时间里，篮下8中7，罚球4中3，砍下了17分17篮板4盖帽。

It would be easy for him to play for a while longer and get a double [-] data.

The hit rate is frighteningly high, at least [-]% of which is due to Nash.

Nash claims to be a data booster for inside players, and it is not for nothing. The best example is Stoudemire. After he left Nash, his average field goal percentage dropped by at least five points.

11 points and 16 assists are the transcripts Nash handed over tonight.

His offensive efficiency tonight was a bit sluggish, 11 of 4, not even [-]% shooting, but his passing is the key to the Raptors' ability to beat the Bulls.

Today, Kongbu is no longer the kind of kid who has never seen the world. He has never seen what kind of point guard.

Not only has he seen it, he has also coached first-class point guards such as Payton and Billups.

But the passing ability of these people, in the view of Combe, is definitely not as strong as Nash.

"God, how good is the Raptors right now? Combe picks up five guys off the bench, puts them in the starters and can beat the Bulls?"

"Even if the Bulls are weak now, they are still an NBA team."

"I'm starting to doubt the saying that there are no underdogs in the NBA."

"How do I feel that the twelve players of the Raptors are all at the All-Star level? Any player randomly drawn from it seems to be better than the Bulls' leader Kukoc."

"Kumbu is amazing. The lineup he created is absolutely fantastic."

"I'm afraid other teams are starting to think about the Raptors again. With so many supernovas, if you get two of them back, the team's record will skyrocket immediately."

After seeing the background of the Raptors' terrifying lineup, the fans were amazed.

It's really that the Raptors' lineup tonight is too sensational. It's not that there are no teams in the NBA that don't have a double lineup, but they are definitely not as scary as the Raptors.

The first lineup is the championship lineup, and the Raptors just relied on this lineup to win two championship trophies.

The second lineup was newly assembled by Kumbu, and its combat power looked extremely amazing, especially the terrifyingly fast offensive rhythm, which kept the opponent suffocated all the time.

Under normal circumstances, the rich and powerful Blazers can also make up two starting lineups in the past few seasons.

Little Flying Squirrel, Steve Smith, Pippen, Bunch Wells, Schramf, Jr., Rasheed, Lao Sa, etc.

It's a pity that the Trail Blazers' double starting lineup is full of hang-ups compared to the Raptors.

After playing the Bulls, the Raptors' next opponent is the Nets.

The Nets are also a super underdog, and Kumbu simply let the second team start again.

He has already planned that he will be on the second team when he is playing against a weak team, and he will be on the first team when he is playing against a strong team. In this way, it is not a big problem to complete the task this season.

The main reason is that the power of Nash's lineup is a bit beyond Kumbu's expectations.

Originally, he was already prepared to let the second team play for a few minutes, and then switch back to the first team, so that on the one hand, he can meet the number of starting games required by the task, and on the other hand, he can win the game.

Now it seems that there is no such need. The second team led by Nash played against the rookie team, and the effect was so good that it was scary.

In this game against the Nets, Combe deliberately increased Dampier's number of shots.

As a result, he handed over a 16-for-10 report card. His shooting percentage was much lower than the previous game, but he was still very efficient.

With 22 points, 14 rebounds and 3 blocks, Dampier played another amazing game.

After two games broke out in a row, Dampier's performance made the Warriors fans sit still.

Why did Dampier in the hands of Carlesimo be an ordinary center who can only take the middle class, but in the hands of Kumbu he directly became an All-Star super center?

What the hell do you eat Carlesimo?
Under the agitation of the crowd, the Warriors boss fired Carlesimo without saying a word.

Kumbu was speechless. He didn't expect that he made a small deal and lost Carlesimo's work.

However, Carlesimo would have been fired this season. The Dampier incident can only be said to have accelerated the time for him to be fired.

In fact, Carlesimo was wronged.

Dampier can play this kind of data, on the one hand, the opponents in the two consecutive games are mostly weak, and on the other hand, he has the data booster of Nash.

In the first game against the Bulls, the opponent was Perdo, who was too weak.

In the second game against the Nets, the opponent was the 206-centimeter center Jamil Faik, who was not much stronger.

In fact, it is very simple to distinguish whether a player is strong or not, just to see if the name is familiar. I am afraid that most fans have never heard of these two names. How can they be strong.

After all, Dampier has only been in Kumbu's hands for a few days, and he has not yet enjoyed the benefits of the training field. If he encounters those powerful centers, even if Nash gives him a stat boost, it may be difficult to hit this level of stats.

On the day the Warriors officials announced the firing of Carlesimo, Kumbu received Malone's resignation.

This guy didn't know when he hooked up with the Warriors boss. Carlesimo took a class, and he immediately got the position of Warriors coach.

"Boss, you don't blame me, do you?"

Ma Long shyly said goodbye to Kong Bu.

"What's your fault? I'm too happy to be the coach of the first team."

"After going to the Warriors..."

Kong Bu originally wanted to let Xiao Malong do a good job, but he thought that the Warriors are now poor and empty, no matter how hard they work, they will not be able to achieve results.

"After going to the Warriors, quickly put Jamison in the starting lineup and give him unlimited fire rights."

"On this team, the only thing of value is Jamison."

"Other players together may not be able to replace my Lagabel."

Combe said with a smile.

Malone was extremely disappointed. He originally wanted to ask Kumbu if there were any buried players in the Warriors.

Now it seems that there is obviously no.

"Boss, then we can only do poorly this season."

"Wait until next year's draft, you must help me!"

Malone has no confidence in what he told Comb. As an unqualified coach, the Warriors can tolerate him for one season, but definitely not for two seasons.

This season is bad, and if he can't produce anything next season, his only end is to be fired.

Kong Bu smiled wryly. It was really unlucky for Ma Long to choose this time to coach the Warriors.

Because the next draft is a small year, there are not many players who can get it.

The highest achievement in the lottery show is actually No. 8 pick Jamal Crawford. He has a lot of honors, but he is the sixth man after all, and he has no role in the historical rankings.

Then Turkoglu with the 16th pick and Quentin Richardson with the 18th pick can only be said to be good players.

The best player should be Michael Reid in the second-round pick. Unfortunately, Deer King Reed has already been booked by Comb. How can he give someone else such a high cost-effective player.

In the entire 2000 draft, the only player Comb could look up to was Reid, and he couldn't even look down on Martin, the No. [-] pick.

That's why he didn't want the 2000 pick.

It's a pity that Combe can't tell Ma Long about this. He should have some hope. If there is no hope, then his first coaching season will become extremely tormented.

At worst, Kong Bu will be transfused with some blood.

McGrady is in the third grade this year and is about to renew his contract. If the Raptors do not renew their contract, it is not impossible to send it to Malone.

If McGrady can be brought into the team, Malone's coach position can be secured, and he will be safe for at least five years.

Unknowingly, Kumbu's coaching staff began to really blossom.

Ma Long became the No.3 direct line coach sent by Kong Bu.
