NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Chapter 163 Iverson wants to come to the Raptors

"Bobby, do you think that at my age, I would be interested in those calligraphy and paintings?"

"Less routine, more sincerity, I know what you want, and I can give you what you want."

"But what kind of reward can you offer?"

Kumbu glanced at Ron Barbie, squinted his eyes and said.

So bluntly, Bobby was stunned. His plan was to get close to Kumbu first, win his favor, and then let Konbu introduce players to him step by step. O, McGrady and others were dug over.

As a result, Kongbu was about to talk about money when he came up, which made him doubt his life.

"Coach Kong, how about I give you 30.00% of all the players you introduced and the benefits they created for me?"

Bobby said subconsciously.

Leaving aside the super popular player like McGrady, even if it is just Mobley, he is very likely to get the maximum salary in the future. In addition to the player contract, his annual commercial contract must be at least several hundred Ten thousand.

It is equivalent to saying that a player like Mobley can bring almost $100 million in net income to the agent every year.

And like McGrady, there will be more, at least 300 million US dollars.

"Too little, give me 50.00%."

"In addition to the players in my hands, I can also give you a list of potential rookies. They will all be at the star level in the future. You can sign them before they make a fortune. Such players can give me [-]%."

Kong Bu made a calculation in his mind.

Bobby is a man with means. He was not well-known in the agent circle at the beginning, but he signed Hill, who was hailed as Jordan's successor at the time, with his brains.

Later, with Hill, his agent career began to rise, and he signed many outstanding players one after another.

However, the players he signed were all the kind of heaven's favorites, and everyone knew that they could become stars.

Kumbu not only introduced him to the players under his command, but also told him which players would be able to play in the future. With Bobby's means, he would definitely be able to sign these players with ease.

In this way, even if Kumbu does nothing, he can get nearly [-] million in extra money every year.

When cooperating with Tailem before, Kumbu didn't have the nerve to say this. After all, Tailem is flattering and giving gifts every day.

Now he and Bobby are almost strangers, so this can be opened.

"make a deal!"

Without further ado, Bobby agreed directly.

Anyway, these players didn't belong to me in the first place, so what if they dug them from other agents and gave Konbu half of the proceeds?

The NBA does not have relevant regulations that prohibit coaches from introducing players to agents, so Comb doesn't need to worry about what Stern will do to him.

With almost no effort, you can get a harvest of nearly [-] million per year. It's a bastard if you don't take advantage of this kind of cheapness.

He was not worried that Bobby would cheat himself, he was a very shrewd person, and he knew very well what the consequences of provoking Combe would lead to.

Comb has a hundred ways to get all the players under his command to switch to other agents.

For example, Grant Hill, do you want to win the championship?He has been in the league for so many years, and he has been called Jordan's successor. Jordan has already retired, and he hasn't taken over his class. He hasn't even seen a championship.

If you want to win the championship, then come to Kumbu's team, and Konbu will be able to put forward the conditions for him to change his agent.

For example, Ray Allen, Comb will trade two stars with George Karl at worst. After getting the hands, will he change his agent?If you don't change it, you will always be a cold bench.

Bobby knows this well, so he can't ruin his career for a short-term profit.

After returning to the hotel, Kong Bu received a call from Lao Wang.

That is Da Zhi's father.

Now Pharaoh has been helping Kong Bu manage the domestic CBA team. Before, in order to thank Kong Bu for taking care of Dazhi, he said nothing about salary.

Of course, it is impossible for Kumbu to really not give it. At the end of last season, he paid Lao Wang a salary of 50 yuan, which is considered meaningful.

Lao Wang usually needs to contact Kong Bu when he has something to do, and he will take advantage of the time when Kong Bu leads the team to play games.

When the team was established, the team was named Qingdao Tiger Sharks. The name of the team was randomly thought up by Kong Bu when he was in the bathroom. After more than a year, a sponsor finally came to the door.

"150 million a season's naming fee?" Kumbu was speechless.

Lao Wang called to tell Kong Bu that a sponsor wanted to buy the naming rights.

The naming fee of less than 20 US dollars is too embarrassing.

Fortunately, Kumbu didn't care about the team name at all. He kept the team, just waiting for it to appreciate in the future before selling it.

"Then give it to them. No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat. At least it's enough for the team's daily expenses."

"By the way, have you found the player that Brother Wang was looking for before?"

Kong Bu suddenly remembered that he asked Lao Wang to look for Yi Jianlian before, and he didn't know if there was any progress.

When the United Arab Emirates drafted, the reported birth year was 1987. In fact, his real birth year was 1984, which was three years younger.

This is not fabricated, Ah Lian himself has almost implicitly admitted it.

Now it is the year 2000, and Ah Lian is almost 16 years old, and he will be able to play professional basketball soon.

Kong Bu remembered that in October of next year, Ah Lian would be recruited into the youth team of Guangdong Hongyuan, and while he was still a free agent, he made the first move.

It is reasonable to say that apart from the Great Wall of China, the only Chinese player who can have a place on the international stage is the UAE.

Kong Bu is capable now, so he naturally wants to help a group of Arab Leagues.

The training field has little effect on the UAE. After all, his talent is there. Even if he reaches the peak early with the blessing of the training field, he may not be so strong.

However, the system will release some tasks from time to time, and maybe you can get some special gadgets to improve the UAE in an all-round way.

For example, superstar template cards, such as some devices that improve attributes.

The three-point calibration device in Kongbu's hands is actually very suitable for the UAE, but it is a pity that it can only be used for one month in a season.

"I have a letter. I am contacting his parents. According to what you said, I will give him a salary of 1 yuan a month."

"They said they wanted to think about it, but in fact, it probably has a certain point, and it may be reported in the near future."

"You have to pay to play in other teams, but you get paid to come to us, and even a fool knows how to choose."

Lao Wang said with a smile.

Kongbu couldn't laugh at all. The current operating model of the CBA team is a bit outrageous. Many young people want to enter the youth team, so they have to pay first.

After paying the money to join the team, you have to pay again if you want to play, and you have to pay a lot more if you want to start.

Unless you really have the kind of invincible talent that is visible to the naked eye, players who can play in various clubs are really either rich or expensive.

What's even more outrageous are some unscrupulous coaches who want to have a super friendly relationship with the mothers of other young players.

Anyway, not all the commercialization of the CBA has brought good things, and some dirty things have also been brought in.

"Try to hurry up. If the other party still hesitates, just mention the annual salary of 20 yuan. Anyway, he will definitely be allowed to join the team."

"I will be able to join the team next season. After two or three seasons of training, I will definitely become our pillar."

Kong Bu still has great confidence in the United Arab Emirates. On the stage of CBA, his ability is actually second only to Yao Ming, comparable to Big Zhi or Daba.

After playing the Spurs, the Raptors rushed to Philadelphia non-stop, and it was time for the abuse of food several times a year.

Every time they play Philadelphia, the Raptors look forward to it, because there is no garbage time in the game, and Combe will not let them keep their hands, which makes it easy for them to play amazing statistics.

At the pre-match press conference, Combe led Dampier and Nash.

Right now, the Raptors' second team is very popular, and fans all over the NBA are paying attention to this unique lineup.

Running and bombing pays attention to the ultimate offense, and fans like this kind of offense, so the popularity of the Raptors second team is now frighteningly high.

"I feel like I've come a long way from Gary."

"He was the MVP and FMVP of last season, and he is well-deserved No.1 in the league. I am not qualified to compare with Gary at the moment."

Facing the reporter's question about who is stronger and weaker between him and Payton, Nash answered very decently.

If you switch to those arrogant players, even if you don't say that you are better than Payton, you must say that you and Payton are players with different styles. It is hard to say which is stronger and weaker.

Kumbu nodded in satisfaction. Nash is indeed a trustworthy player. Whether it is ball intelligence or emotional intelligence, he is far higher than the average of NBA players.

For example, when he was knocked over by Huo Li and knocked over to the billboard on the sidelines, Stoudemire and Brother Diao were going to fight, and Nash suffered such a big loss. The first thing he thought of was not to expand the situation, so he quickly pulled Stoudemire out of the way. Let him do it.

Because once Stoudemire makes a move, the Suns will only suffer.

It's a pity that his small body couldn't hold him up. In the end, Sun still suffered a big loss and became numb.

"Eric, congratulations, you have just been elected as the best player of the week. What do you think is the biggest achievement you have gained in this month since you came to the Raptors?"

Dampier just got the best of the week, a reporter asked.

"The biggest gain?"

"It made me understand a lot of times, like Carlesimo is an idiot, no wonder Sprewell treated him like that."

"I have the strength of the first center. In a team like the Raptors, I can play as a starter. Carlesimo actually asked me to play as a substitute."

"I admit that my current strength may not be as good as Shaq, but I am at least the number one center in the Eastern Conference. This is recognized and recognized by all players."

Dampier's language was not amazing, and the words he said made Kong Bu's face turn green.

He quickly snatched the microphone from Dampier, "Hey, Carlesimo, if you are watching this press conference."

"Anything Eric said just now has nothing to do with me, and it has nothing to do with the rest of us Raptors."

"If you want to curse someone, don't come to me."

Kumbu knows Carlesimo's temperament too well, this guy's mouth is very poisonous, if he knows that Dampier scolded him for being an idiot at the press conference, he will probably be able to scold him for several hours without repeating the same thing.

He wasn't afraid of offending Carlesimo, he just didn't want to be scolded bloody when he didn't do anything.

The reporters all laughed, isn't the headline coming soon?
Dampier, who just won the best player of the week, the reporter will scold the former coach Carlesimo, and boast that he is the No. [-] center in the Eastern Conference, and the topic is directly pulled to the top.

After the press conference, Combe originally wanted to reprimand Dampier.

But then I thought about it, what's the point of being angry with a fool, and Dampier only stayed with the Raptors for one season, and he will leave the team in a few months.

Said Dampier is a fool, really did not wrong him.

The average IQ of NBA players is 83, which is the average IQ. Looking at Dampier's words and deeds, he reckons it is below the player's average.

And 70 to 79 points belong to mental deficiency, and below 70 points are mental retardation.

Even if Dampier is not mentally deficient, at least he has to be mentally deficient. He is said to be a fool, and there is nothing wrong with him.

And tonight is another chance to bloody Larry Brown, Combe really has no reason to be angry.

By 07:30 in the evening, Combe was sitting on the sidelines chatting with Big Ben, and the other players were warming up and doing some shooting drills.

Big Ben is now resigned to his fate, he is completely desperate for free throws.

Fortunately, during the regular season, not many teams would use the shark-slashing tactic against him.

It can’t be said that there is nothing at all. Last season’s Trail Blazers may want to win a game against the Raptors to boost the morale of the team, or it may be that Pippen wants to prove that he can lead the team alone to win the Raptors, so they were against the Raptors in that game. Big Ben uses a chopping shark.

As a result, Combe let the Raptors go all out. In that game, the Blazers were completely blown away and won by nearly [-] points.

Then in the regular season, no one will touch this bad luck for other teams.

The Trail Blazers are not underdogs, they can all lose close to [-] points. If it were those weak teams, they might really be hit by the largest point difference in history.

Kong Bu and Da Ben were chatting when Iverson trotted over.

"Ben, can I have a 5-minute chat with Coach Kong alone?"

Iverson and Daben are rookies in the same class. Although they have no contact with each other, they are not unfamiliar.

Big Ben left with a strange expression on his face. He really couldn't figure out what Iverson could have to talk to Kong Bu in private.

"What's wrong, Aaron?"

Kumbu is also very curious. Although he abuses Iverson several times every year, he will encourage Iverson after the game.

"Coach Kong, can you trade me to the Raptors?"

"I've had enough of these days!"

"Entering the playoffs is almost becoming a luxury for me. I don't want to continue wasting my youth here."

Iverson began to pour bitter water.

Under normal circumstances, in fact, the 76ers' record has improved in the past two seasons. In the middle of the next season, after they traded Uncle Mu, they officially became the powerhouse in the Eastern Conference.

It's a pity that after being disturbed by Kumbu, the 76ers don't want anything now. Apart from Iverson, there is only one inside blue-collar Ratliff.

Originally, Kukoc joined the 76ers halfway this season, but judging from the current situation, it is unlikely that Kukoc will leave the Bulls.

The 76ers didn't make the playoffs last season. After playing for a month this season, they only had a record of 8 wins and 10 losses.

Of course, it can't be said that it is too bad. If the winning rate is good, there is a chance to enter the playoffs in the current Eastern Conference.

Comb had a bit of a headache, not because he looked down on Iverson, but because his lineup was completely useless to Iverson.

The first team emphasizes the ultimate defense and positional offense. Iverson has no problem playing positional warfare, but defense is not good. The gap between his defense and Payton is like the height gap between Ben and Yao Ming.

The second team emphasizes the ultimate offensive rhythm. Iverson must have no problem playing offense, but he does not have Nash's passing and overall view. He cannot always play from the backcourt, seven seconds kill to the frontcourt penalty area. Basket?

Anyway, regardless of the first or second team, there is no place for Iverson.

"Allen, this season we have almost run in, you said too late."

"How about you endure another season?"

"I'll think of a way next season, what do you think?"

Kongbu can only use dragging tactics.

Iverson nodded helplessly, "Okay, Coach Kong, I'll wait for your good news."

Comb doesn't know if there is any good news. After all, Iverson has a maximum salary, and it is difficult for the Raptors to accept Iverson's contract.
