NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Chapter 166 The Battle of Kemai vs. Boom
"Coach, please let me play."

"I feel like I'm not the Eric Dampier I used to be. I can definitely beat Shaq now."

"As long as you let me play tonight, you can suspend me for as many games as you want."

Dampier pestered Kumbu to play before the game, and he is a little swollen now, forgetting how he was repaired by O'Pang in the previous seasons.

"What you said, the water you poured out, if I let you play tonight, what do you two think?"

"Don't worry, we have another game against the Lakers next, and I will definitely let you start at that time."

Of course, it is impossible for Kumbu to let him play. Even if he is not suspended, after he plays, there is a probability of more than 90.00% that he will be abused by Austrian fat blood.

At that time, it may cause the team to lose.

Fighting Opang was still able to control violence with violence, using strength and tonnage to resist him at the basket.

"Phil, it's been a long time. I read those lace news papers. Are you dating the daughter of the Bath family?"

When Kong Bu was warming up before the game, he chatted with Zen Master.

The two were rivals to each other, Zen master lost two consecutive championships under Kongbu, but he was very personable, no matter how upset he was, he would not show it.

Maybe I hated Kongbu so much that I wanted to kill Kongbu, but I still greeted him with a smile after meeting.

"You actually read those gossip news? They write nonsense about the things that don't exist."

The Zen master directly denied it.

If Kong Bu was not a time traveler, he might really have believed the Zen master's nonsense.

The reason why he would deny it is that Comb can roughly guess the reason. Not long after Rodman broke up with Jenny Buss, Zen Master, Rodman's former coach, immediately took over and took over. It is too ugly to say it.

In addition, Rodman's big bull may have turned the daughter of Bass into his shape, and the Zen master has to be slow.

"Kong, speaking of gossip news, I saw a newspaper a few days ago saying that you have a boyfriend. Is this true?" Zen Master looked at Kong Bu playfully and smiled.

Kong Bu's body began to tremble. What kind of unscrupulous media is it that can compile such news?

"Damn it, are the newspapers still there? I have to sue their boss for bankruptcy." Kong Bu gritted his teeth.

"Kong, don't be so excited. The 21st century is half a month away. A new era is here. Even if you have a boyfriend, we won't say anything."

"What Tim Hardaway said before, he has already received the punishment he deserved."

Zen master continued to disgust Kongbu, of course he knew that Kongbu was not gay.

Tim Hardaway, the main controller of the Heat, once made some homophobic remarks on TV. Fortunately, the old American ZZ was not so serious at the time. If it is left behind 20 years later, his career may be completely ruined. up.

"Phil, I'm really not gay. I'm afraid only Ms. Jenny Buss can prove my innocence."

Come and don't reciprocate indecently, Kong Bu also felt disgusted and went back.

Even if Zen master verbally denied it, Combe concluded that he had hooked up with Jenny Buss.

The Zen master was startled, what does this mean?Why does it sound like Combe has a past with Jenny Buss?

Thinking about it, it's impossible. Jenny Buss is now 39 years old, ten years older than Combe. How could a young man like him have anything to do with Jenny Buss?
But after thinking about it, there are many hardcore young people who like MILF. Could it be that Kong Bu is in this category?
The Zen Master just ignored Kumbu again, just to make fun of himself, and returned to his own half, quietly watching the players warm up.

Combe laughed, it seems that Jenny Bass is the Zen master's weakness.

Both of them have reached the point where they are talking about marriage, and the marriage contract lasted for 17 years. Zen master must have true love for Jenny Buss.

As for why they broke up later, Comb thought it might be that Zen master couldn't bear it anymore. When he broke up with Jenny Buss, he was already 71 years old.

How can this age meet the 50-year-old Jenny Buss who can absorb soil.

Kong Bu felt that it was necessary for him to find a woman. After traveling for more than two years, he has always been "clean and clean".

For such a long time, no woman has appeared around Kongbu, no wonder some gossip media said he was gay.

……

Comb watched the Lakers warm up at halftime.

This year's Lakers lineup actually hasn't changed much, the core is still those three people, O'Pang, Kobe and Glenn Rice.

The fourth position was replaced. During the offseason, the Lakers signed AC Green. Now he shares the fourth position with Horry. Both of them play an average of [-] minutes per game.

Then the No. [-] Xiaoyu was also replaced. The Bulls champion Harper was invited to the Lakers by Zen Master a few days ago, and now Xiaoyu can only play as a substitute.

The lineup can only be regarded as fine-tuning, but the changes produced are still great.

First of all, the defensive strength of the backcourt has been greatly improved. Laoyu's point guard ATM, anyone can blast him. Harper's defense is not as strong as Payton, but he is also a top-notch presence among point guards.

Then Kobe has become more and more mature, and he has a strong defensive force. You must know that he has been selected to the best defensive team this season.

Then the Lakers' offensive end has also been fine-tuned. Last season, they used Glen Rice as the core of the outside line, and now it has become Kobe.

Kobe was jokingly called a Los Angeles blacksmith, but in fact, whether he is iron or not depends on who he compares with.

Compared with Jordan, it must be a blacksmith, but if compared with other top shooting guards of the same era, Kobe's shooting percentage is actually the highest.

McGrady's career shooting rate is 43.5%, Carter's career shooting rate is also 43.5%, and Iverson is a little less, he is 42.5%. There is also Ray Allen, a typical marksman, and his career shooting rate is 45.2%. .

And Kobe is 44.7%. If you take out the first two years of his career as a pure substitute and the last two years of touring, Kobe is indeed the highest among these shooting guards.

Kobe's shooting percentage this season is 46.8%. Neither McGrady nor Carter in the Raptors has reached such a shooting percentage.

For this Lakers team, Comb doesn't worry much about O'Pang, the only thing he worries about is Kobe.

Other teams are afraid of O'Pang, that's because no one can stand up to him at the basket, the Raptors are different, Big Ben and Bus fight each other, and send them to the free throw line from time to time, O'Pang can't explode too exaggeratedly .

But Kobe is different. He is really iron when he is iron, but if he is accurate, all kinds of fairy balls and Yangshou balls are really terrible.

Fortunately, Kumbu still has the glove Payton in his hands, which can defend against Jordan, so it must be no problem against Kobe.

It's a coincidence that Payton and Kobe's peak period coincided for about five years, that is, from 98 to 03. During these five years, the two played against each other a total of 24.1 times, and the result was an average of [-] points per game. .

Kobe's record against Payton during this period is 43.3%, which is certainly not too bad, but it is much lower than his normal level.

In addition, in these sixteen matches, Kobe either had a very high shooting percentage, with a shooting percentage of more than [-]% or even [-]%, or a very low shooting percentage, with a shooting percentage of [-]% or even just over [-]%.

Because he didn't watch the game, Kumbu couldn't tell what the problem was, it was weird anyway.

"I don't know if it's super high or low tonight. I hope it's super low." Kung Bu thought as he shook his head.

No head coach would want Kobe to have a super high shooting percentage against himself. This guy has too much desire to attack. Once the shooting percentage is high, it will stimulate his desire to take shots even more, and it is very likely that he will end up cutting some painful shots. score data.

For example, the defender has the highest score in the first three quarters, the highest score in the second half, and the highest score in the game.

Combe didn't want this kind of record to happen to him.

After half an hour, the game officially started.

The Raptors started the first team tonight, but Pierce was suspended, so Marion could only play the starting three.

Maggette has no three-point calibration device, and his scoring ability is not as good as Marion.

Big Ben, Bus, Marion, Tracy McGrady and Payton, this starting lineup is still luxurious.

Before going on the field, Kumbu explained the defensive arrangements to the generals again.

"Gary, take care of that No. 8 boy tonight, be careful with him, and don't let him explode."

"Sean, you are in charge of marking the opponent's Glenn Rice. Be careful with his three-pointers."

"Tracey, you are in charge of facing Harper, so you can focus more on the offensive end."

Kumbu first arranged the defensive work of the three outsiders.

Payton shook his head, "Boss, are you so optimistic about that kid? When we played against Jordan, we never heard you tell me to be careful."

Kumbu was speechless, do I need to say something about Jordan?It's not a matter of being careful at all.

The reason why Payton was specifically told to be careful was that he was afraid that Payton would underestimate Kobe and let Kobe score one after another, making him feel good.

McGrady is indifferent. Kobe called him last night and said that he was going to have a good match tonight.

It's a pity that Kongbu didn't let him face Kobe. He didn't say anything and obeyed Kongbu's arrangement.

"You two look at the situation on the field. Big Ben is pushing at the back, and the bus is going around in front."

"Try not to let him catch the ball. If he catches the ball, double-team him. His character should not allow him to split the ball."

Kumbu arranged the defense of the inside duo again.

The two of Bemba's eyes are full of fighting spirit, and they are almost in a state of being invincible in the world.

The premise is that the Knicks' inside twin towers must be removed.

The Knicks' Ewing and Big Zhi can't be regarded as the inside twin towers. After all, Dazhi has been floating outside, so it is more appropriate to call the inside and outside twin towers.

The pair of twin towers of the Spurs, because the general is old, is no longer the opponent of the Bemba combination.

In today's league, only Ao Pang has not been repaired by them.

"Dudududu!"

The referee blows the whistle, and the starters of both sides start to play.

Kobe waved at McGrady, and the two chatted with each other with a smile.

"What? You're not facing me tonight?"

"Your coach put that old guy on me? How old is he? I remember when I was in elementary school, he was already in the NBA."

Kobe showed his youthful and frivolous side, whispering secretly beside McGrady.

He didn't have the courage to really say this to Payton. After all, Payton won so many gold-rich honors last season. After Jordan retired, he was the real No.1.

Of course, this No.1 can only be regarded as honor No.1. In terms of strength, there must be many people who are better than Payton.

"Shut up, if he hears it, he has to deal with you."

Maddie said angrily.

In the jump ball session, the bus failed to beat O'Pang, and the Lakers got the first offensive ball.

Since Big Zhi and Jermaine left, the Raptors' jump ball has become a big problem. This season has been played for more than a month, and Kumbu remembers only winning three or four games by jumping.

Anyway, it was horrible.

After Harper got the ball, the Lakers players on the field began to stand.

The Lakers have started to use the triangle offense, but the triangle offense they use is not the same as the triangle offense used by the Bulls.

The Bulls don't have a center as powerful as O'Pang.

Then the Bulls' small forward Pippen has first-class passing ability, and the Lakers' Glen Rice has no passing ability at all.

So Kobe is the shooting guard in name, but in fact he has to be responsible for the distribution of the ball. Right now he is playing the role of Pippen in the Lakers.

It's just that he, Pippen, turned against the guest, making "Jordan" Glen Rice a green leaf foil.

It's a triangle offense, but not the Bulls' triangle offense.

After the ball went to the frontcourt, Harper passed the ball to Kobe. Just like his monotonous work in the Bulls period, the offensive round was always the same. kobe.

Instead of deflecting the ball, Bryant started posting up Payton.

Kobe, who is now in the fourth grade, is much stronger than three years ago, which has also led to a huge improvement in his back-up efficiency.

After entering the three-point line against Payton, he turned over and leaned back to make a mid-range shot.

"Shh!"

Almost a one-to-one perfect reproduction of Jordan's shooting posture, and hollow into the net.

Payton didn't take it seriously. Who doesn't eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year? This kind of goal doesn't mean anything.

After a few minutes, he realized that something was wrong.

Kobe doesn't know what medicine he took wrongly, at least he has hit him from the high post in the same position for at least five consecutive rounds. What makes Peyton even more painful is that he made four of these five shots. .

Of course he knew Kobe, but he never took a young guard like Kobe seriously.

Having witnessed Jordan's brilliance with his own eyes, and personally restricted Jordan, Payton doesn't care about these young shooting guards.

Not to mention Kobe, even McGrady, who is on the same team, can only be regarded as a little guy in Payton's eyes.

After Kobe scored 8 points, Payton began to cheer up, and something even more painful happened. He found that he had used all [-] defensive skills, and it seemed that the effect was not very good.

Kumbu smiled wryly. It seemed that Payton was not very lucky tonight, and it happened to coincide with the time when Kobe's shooting percentage was super high.

During the timeout, McGrady suddenly spoke.

"Coach, let me try to defend him. I have a height advantage and can interfere with his fadeaway."

Kong Bu glanced at Payton, and the old Payton nodded, "Yes, it is indeed more appropriate for you to guard against him."

"I have met many Jordan successors over the years, but in terms of similarity, I am afraid this kid has the highest similarity."

"It's not about strength, but about style. They're all the same paranoia and madness."

At present, there are ten players in the league who have been called Jordan’s successors, old and young, including Penny, Hill, Kobe, McGrady, fellow North Carolina alumni Stackhouse and Carter, Even Mashburn was called Jordan's successor for a while when he was young.

But among these people, Kobe is probably the only one who possesses both form and spirit.

The game restarts.

Zen Master is a typical pragmatist, which can be seen from his succession of coaching teams with luxurious lineups.

Kobe felt overwhelmed tonight, so he didn't care about any tactics, and let Kobe fire directly.

The court directly turned into a battle between Kobe and Tracy McGrady.

Kobe had already scored [-] points when he faced Payton earlier, so he has always scored more than McGrady.

However, McGrady is also catching up, and the distance from Kobe's score has been around ten.

Kumbu sat on the sidelines and watched with relish, not as a coach, but as a fan to enjoy the game.

This kind of game is not very common.

Because the two are located in the east and west, there are not many opportunities to fight. After McGrady went to the West Rockets in 04, the two played two high-scoring games.

One game was Kobe's 53 over McGrady's 30 points. In that game, McGrady only hit 24 of 7 shots, and he was in poor condition.

In another game, Kobe's 45 points were better than McGrady's 30 points. Although McGrady scored fewer points in this game, he had a good offensive efficiency, shooting 20 of 10 from the field.

It's a pity that these two games are not the kind of classics handed down from generation to generation.

It can be regarded as a classic battle against bombers, at least it must be the kind of Kobe vs. Arenas, and one person must score 60+.

Looking at Kobe's momentum tonight, it is very hopeful to get a super high score. It is hard to say whether he can pass [-], but at least [-] is hopeful.
