NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Chapter 192 Olympic Gold Medal!

Combe's idea was simple.

Of course, he also knows that Oakley and Barkley are incompatible, but there are not many players in the league who can hold the field and are cheap, and Oakley is one of them.

So he is also bound to win Oakley.

After both of them entered the 76ers, Kumbu couldn't stand the infighting every day.

Simply letting Barkley recruit Oakley may ease the relationship between the two. Enemies should be resolved rather than knotted, and there is not much hatred between the two.

"Kong, what do you want that guy for?"

"He's a powder keg. You don't want to find him whipping your baby Yao Ming with a big mouth, do you?"

Barkley said helplessly.

"Even if you recruit Rodman to the 76ers? He is better than rough guys like Oakley."

He has been looking down on Oakley for more than ten years, thinking that Oakley is just a bodyguard player with no strength at all.

Where does Combe believe Barkley's nonsense, he still knows the old oak Oakley very well.

This person is indeed a powder keg, extremely rough, but he is very righteous to his teammates, especially the core stars of his team. He has always replaced himself as a bodyguard.

As long as the opponent dares to move his core star, he will move his fist unambiguously.

Hearing that Barkley mentioned Rodman again, Comb's mind became alive. Since Barkley and Oakley both have two major thorns, it seems that Rodman is not bad.

Then just take it all.

When Rodman played for the Lakers during the Raptors' second championship, he was very unhappy with the Lakers.

Then for the third championship, he went to the Mavericks to play for half a season, and he still averaged 14+ rebounds per game with a terrifying rebounding ability.

In fact, he has not retired yet. Comb has always had a good relationship with the Pistons. If he recruits Rodman, Rodman may really be willing to come.

"Charles, are you afraid that Oakley will steal your starting position?"

"After all, he played solidly for the whole season last season, but you only played about [-] games before being reimbursed."

Kumbu used the provocative method.

"I'm afraid he'll grab me as the starter? Is he worthy?"

"You wait, I'm going to get him to the 76ers now, but you can't let his salary be higher than mine."

Barkley took the job straight away.

Combe was relieved, the Charles brothers had obtained it, and it was time for him to contact Rodman.

If Rodman can be successfully recruited, the three super thorns at the power forward position will gather under his command, and Malone will have to weigh his own weight.

"Dennis, I'm Combe."

Comb asked for Rodman's phone number from Old Mahon, but he didn't ask Old Thomas for the phone number, for fear that the old clapper would get in his way.

The Knicks have a big head, and Rodman can't play center, so it's useless for the Knicks to ask Rodman.

But regardless of whether it can be used or not, it doesn't cost much to sign Rodman anyway. In order to prevent the rise of the 76ers, the old clapper is completely capable of intercepting Rodman.

Taking advantage of the fact that the 76ers' combat strength has not yet formed, the Knicks have great ambitions this year. The old clapper and Combe are now competitors. Anything that can weaken the strength of the 76ers, the old clapper will not miss it.

"Dennis, I'm Kong Bu." Kong Bu called Big Worm directly.

A woman's laughter came from the other end of the phone, and it sounded like there was more than one woman.

"hole?"

"Let me take a guess, you don't want me to join the 76ers?"

Rodman may be sucking something in his mouth, so it sounds vague.

"That's right, I do have such an idea, Dennis, are you willing to play for another year?" Kong Bu felt itchy when he heard the other party's movements.

It is indeed chic enough for a man to live for Rodman.

Top actress Madonna, wealthy daughter Jenny Bass, his quantity may not be as exaggerated as Zhang [-], but his quality will definitely surpass Zhang [-] in seconds.

"Yes, but I have conditions."

"First of all I don't take part in training, not in any training."

"Secondly, you have to help me find someone to order a big bed, a super big bed, which can accommodate at least ten people!"

Rodman continued to suck, sucking very vigorously.

Comb was not surprised at all. The reason why Rodman did not stay with the Lakers before was precisely because of training problems.

Under the old Nelson last season, it was actually a matter of training. He didn't want to participate in any form of team training at all.

Kumbu doesn't care whether he participates in training or not, even if he doesn't show his face in games, Kumbu doesn't care, as long as he can be useful at critical moments.

To deal with Rodman, Combe is ready to adopt the stocking model.

Although he will be 40 years old next year, his rebounding ability is still the top in the league. He can easily average 14+ rebounds per game with the Mavericks, including more than four offensive rebounds.

This terrifying rebounding ability will definitely come in handy.

The two sides hit it off immediately, and Comb promised a one-year contract of 100 million US dollars, and successfully signed Rodman.

At night, Barkley also brought good news.

He contacted Oakley, and he didn't know what he said, so Oakley actually agreed to play for the 76ers.

Since then, three big thorns have suddenly appeared in Konbu's hands. He will definitely not have to worry about his players being bullied next season.

……

The group stage of the Olympic men's basketball event is over, and then entered the knockout stage.

9月26日，两个小组的No.6对阵，决出本届奥运会男篮项目的No.11名和No.12名。

Then the No.5 teams faced each other to decide the No.9 and No.10 of the project.

Under normal circumstances, the Tianchao men's basketball team is No.5 in the group, and then lost to Spain in this game, only getting No.10.

Of course, bad can't be said to be bad, after all, the best record is only No.8.

Now under the leadership of Kongbu, the Tianchao men's basketball team has secured the top eight. As No.1 in Group A, they will face No.4 in Group B, which is the old Maozi team.

Even if this game is lost, the Chinese men's basketball team will be eighth, tying the best record in Olympic history.

However, it is obviously impossible to lose. Compared with the Tianchao men's basketball team, Lao Maozi's current combat power is more than one big.

The main one is Kirilenko, who is still a rookie and has not received special training in the field of training. His combat power is mediocre and he cannot be called an all-round fighter.

In the quarter-finals on September 9, the Tianchao men's basketball team beat Lao Maozi by 28 points with a score of 101:66 and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.

Kirilenko's performance in this game was quite eye-catching, and he only scored 2 points and 2 rebounds in total, almost without any sense of presence.

After the game, he didn't even dare to look into Konbu's eyes, for fear of seeing Konbu's disappointed eyes on him.

In the semi-finals on September 9, the Tianchao men's basketball team played against the Tuao team in Group B.

In Group B, apart from the strongest Yugoslavia and the weakest Angola, the other teams are pretty much the same, there is no difference.

Tuao can get the second place in Group B. On the one hand, it is luck, and on the other hand, it has the advantage of the host.

It's a pity that their luck has come to an end. Luke Langley is no match for Yao Ming and others. In the end, they lost by 28 points. This is because Kumbu gave the host some face and did not kill them all.

Winning this game means that the Tianchao men's basketball team will be able to win the silver medal.

This is definitely a historic breakthrough!

Even if they lost to the Dream Team in the next final and missed the gold medal, the Chinese fans would still be able to accept it.

But now that they have reached this point, of course they still hope to win the championship.

Kumbu did not let them down, to be precise, the players of this dream team did not let them down.

In the finals, Mourning didn't know if he was affected by the pressure of domestic public opinion. He played with his hands tied, and he didn't have a trace of the demeanor of a top NBA center.

It looked like he was playing very hard on the field, but it just felt like the kind of bastard I would rather do nothing than make mistakes.

In addition to Mourning, Garnett didn't feel very good tonight. He took 8 shots and only made two shots.

Marksman Ray Allen didn't break out tonight and only scored 13 points.

I thought it was a fight between dragons and tigers, but it turned out to be a one-sided hammer. If the last game was only lost by two points, it was considered a fig leaf, then this time the fig leaf was gone, and the Olympic Games lost to the opponent 19 Points, if the old American fans hadn't watched the game with their own eyes, they would definitely not believe such a result.

Not to mention the fans, Kumbu himself didn't expect it to be like this. He even thought about losing to the Dream Team.

The odds of winning in his mind are at most [-]%. After all, the Dream Team has many excellent pitchers, so their odds of winning must be greater.

But competitive sports are like this, full of uncertainties, and what's more, it's not a series, but a single knockout match. The pressure on the dream team is too great, and losing is inevitable.

On the other hand, the Tianchao team, there is really no pressure at all, they have already guaranteed the silver medal, so there is no pressure.

In the gold medal award ceremony, the players stood on the podium, and Kumbu sat in the audience not far away.

Although the coach also has a gold medal, he can't get on the podium, which makes Kumbu feel very regretful.

However, when the national anthem was played, the regrets in Kongbu's heart were gone. No one knew better than him how much he was looking forward to this moment.

For this gold medal, Kong Bu actually prepared for a long time, from training Dazhi at the beginning, to coaching later, then Yao Ming, and finally struggling for a whole season to get the Hall of Fame point guard template card. Improve the combat power of the United Arab Emirates.

Even if he recommended Lao Hu to the Grizzlies, it was actually for this moment.

Fortunately, all the hard work was not in vain. Kung Bu got what he wanted, led the generals to create history, and won the first gold medal in the Chinese men's big ball event.

For a while, Kumbu's reputation in the Chinese sports world reached an unmatched level.

It's a pity that Kumbu doesn't have time to go back to enjoy the praise and love of the Chinese people. He has to return to Philadelphia as soon as possible.

The Olympic men's basketball schedule is almost over in October.

And preparations for the preseason will start in October, and the new season will officially start in mid-October. Kumbu has no time to return to China now.

Not only Kumbu, but Dazhi, Daba and Yao Ming also had to go to their respective cities to prepare for the new season.

During the Olympics, the NBA league has also undergone considerable changes.

First of all, the previously rumored Malone joining the Lakers has come true. Now the Lakers already have an extremely strong inside partner, but the number one position is still their biggest shortcoming.

It happened that it was time for Billups to renew his contract. The Lakers contacted Billups, but they couldn't reach an agreement in the end. They didn't want to pay Billups a long-term maximum salary.

The Lakers do occupy one of the best ball markets in the league, but they are definitely not the most willing to spend money in the league.

The lineup for the new season has almost been determined, and the Blazers' salary ranks first in the league, as high as 8700 million US dollars!
The second-ranked Knicks are only 7300 million.

The Lakers didn't even make it to the top five, and their total salary was only 5800 million.

If they are willing to spend money as crazy as the Blazers, signing Billups is not a problem at all, then their championship chances will definitely increase to a higher level.

Billups' defense is good enough. Anyway, he is a few grades better than Xiaoyu. On the offensive end, he doesn't take possession of the ball very much, and his scoring ability is not bad. The most important thing is that his organizational ability is very suitable for the current Lakers twin towers.

If he really signed Billups, Combe would have to look at this kind of Lakers differently.

It's a pity that the Bass family doesn't have that courage, or they are reluctant to spend so much money.

Compared with these giants, the salary of the 76ers is even more pitiful, only 4200 million, ranking No. 20 in the league, comparable to the Golden State Warriors.

There is only one Iverson in the current lineup with an annual salary of over 1023 million, and his salary for the new season is [-] million.

Then there's Ratliff's 730 million.

Apart from these two, there is no player with a salary higher than 500 million.

Combu recruited Barkley for 500 million, Oakley for 200 million, and Rodman for 100 million. The sum of these three old guys is only 800 million.

The salaries of two rookies like Kirilenko and Ginobili are almost negligible.

Yao Ming's salary is not low, he is the No. 354 pick, and his starting salary for the new season is as high as [-] million US dollars.

In addition to the Lakers, the Knicks successfully signed Payton and Wu Sheng. The team's combat power has improved to a large level, and many people regard it as the most promising team to win this year.

The Orlando Magic successfully introduced Tracy McGrady and Grant Hill. Regarding the signing of Duncan, it finally fell through because of Duncan's girlfriend. Popovich's mouth was distorted.

As long as Duncan is still there, everything is fine, and the Spurs will always be guaranteed to make the playoffs.

Match Duncan with two decent outsiders, and that's a powerful championship team.

In fact, Kumbu also made an idea of ​​Duncan, but when Stern was in the middle of the Olympic Games, he made a special phone call to Kumbu, telling him not to covet Duncan.

He didn't want Comb to turn the 76ers into an invincible team as soon as he arrived at the 76ers.

In addition to these traditional giants, the Heat are unwilling to be lonely and start spending money. Their salary for the new season is as high as 7000 million, second only to the Knicks.

Signed generals such as Eddie Jones, Anthony Mason Jr., and Brian Grant, thinking about taking advantage of the decline of the Raptors and doing a big job.

After Combe knew that the Heat were spending money like crazy, he began to sympathize with the unlucky Pat Riley in his heart.

The reason is simple, because Mourning will be diagnosed with kidney disease in the new season, and his career is almost at the end.

Riley spends money crazily to compete for the championship at this juncture, it's not a bad luck.
