NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Chapter 203 Offended the coach and still want to leave?

In the history of the NBA, there are many players who claim to be Malone, such as Boozer who will participate in the draft next year, but Artest definitely ranks first among players who are really very similar to Malone.

This guy's elbow is extremely powerful, and there are countless players who have suffered from his elbow.

But Malone is greasy, bad and wretched, and Artest is purely crazy. He may not even know what he is doing on the court.

Comb had choked the madman Sprewell before, so he has always kept these neurotic players at a respectful distance.

Even if he had a chance to win Artest before, Combe didn't bother to ask for it and gave it to the Clippers.

Logically speaking, normal people shouldn't get angry with fools or psychopaths, but it's impossible for Kongbu to remain indifferent. What he's most worried about now is Yao Ming's rib injury.

The current Yao Ming is too thin, with a tonnage as high as 148 kg in his peak period, which is even as fat as his shoulders.

But now Yao Ming only weighs 120 kilograms. With such a big body and such a small weight, it is not much larger than Daben's tonnage. There is no accumulation of fat and muscles on his body. Facing this kind of elbow, he is easily injured.

Regardless of whether Yao Ming is injured or not, it is impossible for Comb to let Artest go.

As the saying goes, kill chickens to scare monkeys, if Artest is let go tonight, Yao Ming may not know what kind of insidious tricks he will encounter in the future.

Seeing Kumbu standing up from the bench suddenly, Oakley blushed.

After Rodman got 20 rebounds, Combe put him on the court.

Thinking of the rhetoric he had said in front of Kongbu before, no player dared to bully Yao Ming in front of him, so he wished he could find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

"Boy, you are hitting my old face!"

"Really, the humiliation you gave me this time is even far greater than when I was beaten up by Rick Mahon before."

"Come and tell me, how do you want to die?"

Oakley was ashamed, and he felt that Barkley must be laughing at himself in his heart at this moment.

The referee blew the whistle quickly, trying to expel Artest and try to calm down the period.

They also know very well that as long as Artest is on the court, Combe will definitely not let him go. This has been verified countless times.

It's a pity that Oakley didn't care so much, and directly grabbed Artest's jersey.

"Want to go?"

"Want to leave after offending the coach? It's not that easy."

After all, the old ghost Oakley slapped the immature Artest directly.

"Snapped!"

With a crisp sound and just one slap, Artest was dizzy.

Oakley usually doesn't take the initiative to cause trouble, but if something happens to him, he will definitely not make it easy for the enemy.

Don't forget that this old ghost is also one of the four villains, and he earned his notoriety purely by punching him.

Stockton, the head of the four villains, relies on insidious and cunning tricks, Lambiel relies on the badness exuded from his bones, and Malone combines Stockton's insidiousness and Lambiel's badness. Oakley is really relying on fists.

Players in the league dare to speak ill of Stern behind his back, but no one dares to speak ill of Oakley, because once it reaches his ears, he really dares to slap you in public.

Artest was stunned by the slap, looking at Oakley with fear.

At this moment, Oakley seemed to be his father in his eyes.

Artest is a relatively rare black player in the NBA who has a father and no mother, but it is better to have a father than not to have him.

Artest has been domestically abused since he was a child. It was really punching and kicking. The reason why Artest has bipolar disorder is inseparable from his childhood experience.

Some people's childhood really takes a lifetime to heal. Artest gradually became normal after he had a child.

The old oak tree with a rough and vicissitudes face slapped himself with a big slap, which reminded Artest of his bad childhood experiences at that moment.

"Is this cowardly?"

"Don't even dare to fight back? A coward who bullies the soft and fears the hard."

"Snapped!"

Oakley didn't know what Artest was thinking, so he slapped him again.

He feels very uncomfortable now, because he is afraid of being laughed at by Barkley after the game.

If Artest can fight back, then he can feel more comfortable in his heart. After beating Artest on the court, Barkley can't say anything.

But now Artest is like a coward, he can't fight back when he hits him, he can't fight back when he scolds him, and he is too embarrassed to continue to fight.

Iverson, who was standing nearby, was ready to run out to stand up for Yao Ming.

But seeing Oakley move his hand, and then Artest was slapped twice in a daze, he could only curse at Artest.

Gentry was going crazy.

He is actually more happy to see the two sides fighting. Anyway, his own record is not good, and there is no hope of entering the playoffs. If the 76ers can be suspended in a large area, why not do it?
As a result, Artest didn't intend to do anything at all, and he didn't even dare to shout twice.

If he doesn't do anything, the other players are even less courageous.

The old devil Oakley's reputation spread throughout the league, who would want to punch him when he was full.

Under normal circumstances, when Yao Ming first entered the league, he was actually taught a lesson by Oakley. When facing Oakley, Yao Ming only had one feeling, that is, this old guy is not here to play, but to fight. .

Later, Ewing went to the Rockets to be the center coach, and was responsible for Yao Ming's training. By the way, Oakley was also brought to the Rockets, and he was Yao Ming's teammate for a while.

The referee was in a good mood. They thought that there would be another large-scale brawl tonight, so they would have to stay up late to write the referee report.

It now appears that the fight will not happen.

They quickly pulled Oakley away, and then blew the whistle to expel both Artest and Oakley.

Yao Ming also returned to the bench with the support of Kirilenko.

"How is it? Is there any serious problem?" Kong Bu asked worriedly.

Yao Ming panted heavily, "It's very uncomfortable, I feel short of breath, and I almost passed out at that moment."

"Is this guy a lunatic? It's all right, I didn't do anything, just hit this kind of cruelty directly."

In the nearly one-month schedule ahead, Yao Ming played too comfortably.

On the one hand, it may be because Kong Bu has a bad reputation, and everyone knows that it is definitely not a wise decision to conflict with Kong Bu, and Kong Bu's revenge is extremely vicious.

On the other hand, Yao Ming is also lucky, and has not encountered any hard problems so far since the start of the game.

It can't be said that there are no hard problems at all, but Kong Bu has collected most of the hard things under his command in the past three seasons. It is impossible for these players not to give Kong Bu face and trouble Yao Ming on the court.

Yao Ming may not have truly realized the dangers of the alliance until now.

"Hurry up and check in the locker room, I hope there is nothing serious."

"If the lungs are injured, it will be troublesome."

Kong Bu hurriedly asked Yao Ming to check it. Artest's elbow hit Yao Ming's lung just now. If there is something wrong with the lung, it would be too bad.

Elvis Presley Gerald Wallace, who will appear in next year's draft, was elbowed by the little shark Bynum in the lungs, causing the lungs to collapse, the lung function was damaged, and the overall strength plummeted.

Kong Bu absolutely does not want such a tragedy to happen to Yao Ming. He has already made up his mind to start Yao Ming's weight gain plan officially from today.

It’s impossible not to gain weight. If you can’t be fat and strong, you will be too easy to get injured at the basket.

……

After the game, the 76ers beat the Clippers and won nine consecutive victories, and Rodman also scored 20 rebounds tonight, and then he only needs to win the follow-up Rockets, and Kombu can get the precious attribute extraction props.

The head coaches of both sides came to the field to shake hands.

After Gentry walked on the field, he saw that Combe didn't intend to shake hands, so he turned around and left.

"Do you want to leave?"

"Alvin, I've been staring at Larry Brown's team for the first three seasons, winning them by at least [-] points per game."

"Now that Larry Brown is gone and I'm the head coach of the 76ers again, I can't beat myself to death, can I?"

"Congratulations, you have become my next target. If you meet me in the future, just wait for the Clippers to make headlines."

Kumbu stared at Gentry and smiled.

He also knew that the elbow incident tonight had little to do with Gentry, it was Artest's own illness, but he just saw Gentry upset.

"Kong, I'm sorry, we are divided into east and west, and you can only meet us twice in a season."

"I don't think you have what it takes to put me in the headlines."

Gentry is still stubborn, he is a typical relationship in the league, and he is not afraid of Kumbu at all.

His cousin is the well-known Skywalker David Thompson, who worked as an assistant under Larry Brown for a short time, and then defected to Riley, and even worked with Popovich.

With such a wide network of contacts, he doesn't have to worry about finding a job in the league.

"Okay, let's wait and see." Kongbu said with a sneer.

……

After returning to the locker room, Kong Bu hurriedly asked the team doctor.

"The specific situation needs to be further checked. Yao said that he is not breathing well, and it may also be a lung injury."

Kong Bu nodded silently, and could only wait for the results of the inspection.

Fortunately, Artest is not yet in his prime. If he is about 30 years old, then Yao Ming may really be unable to bear his elbow.

The next morning, the test results came out, and luckily, the lungs were not injured.

Kumbu was also relieved, it was good that he was not injured. In the next game against the Rockets, Yao Ming still needs to play to ensure ten consecutive victories.

It can be said that if Yao Ming is not here, the strength of this 76ers team will be reduced by at least half.

It’s not that Yao Ming is more powerful than Iverson, Reid, Kirilenko and Ginobili, but Yao Ming is the end point of this team. If he is not on the court, the 76ers can only shoot from the outside. At most, Iverson rushed to the basket to fight for his life. The efficiency of this style of play must be far worse.

"Kong, I won't go to Houston. When it's the playoffs, invite me to play again."

"I guarantee that the performance at that time will never be worse than tonight."

"I can still get 20 rebounds a night if I want to, and I can still guard the best small forward in the league."

Rodman was not polite at all. After playing the Clippers, he planned to stay in Los Angeles and didn't want to continue playing away games with the team.

He made his home in Los Angeles while playing for the Lakers.

For a person like Rodman, Los Angeles is his paradise, where there are the most famous actresses or models in the world.

Kumbu directly agreed, and after winning the next game against the Rockets, Rodman actually had no value at all, and became a complete medicine dregs.

……

After arriving in Houston, Combe had dinner with his old acquaintance Tang Shuai.

"That kid Yao is so outstanding, no matter how many words you use to describe him, it won't be too much."

"He reminded me of Hakeem when I was young."

"It's just too thin, which will put him at a greater risk of injury at the basket."

Tang Shuai chatted with Kong Bu while drinking red wine.

"Recently, Yao was going to gain weight, but now he is really too skinny."

"Old buddy, are you going to screw up this season?" Kumbu asked curiously.

So far this season, the Rockets have only won one game.

Their lineup is actually not too bad, at least not to the point of winning only one game.

Tang Shuai nodded silently, "Yeah, it's officially broken. Next year will be a great year for center forwards. I heard that many outstanding center forward seedlings will try their hand at the draft."

"Hakeem is old. Now we can only play badly and get a high draft pick. If we can pick a decent center, we can start rebuilding directly."

Combe smiled wryly and shook his head. The 2001 draft was favored by countless people. Before the draft began, everyone said it was a super big year, similar to O'Neal's 92nd draft.

Three talented high school center forwards joined forces for the election, Kwame Brown, Tyson Chandler, Eddie Curry, and an international player Gasol.

As a result, among the three talented high school students, only Chandler played out, and he is not a top insider. He has always been a blue-collar player in his career, and he is better than Dampier.

As for the parallel import champion Kwame Brown and the little shark Curry who is known as the 5-minute O'Neal, it's really boring.

"Old man, I advise you not to have too much expectations for this draft." Combe reminded.

"Oh? Do you think those three talented centers are not good?" Tang Shuai straightened up, feeling that it was worthwhile to invite Kong Bu to dinner tonight.

"No, it's not just no, it's too far away."

"They said that this is an insider draft year comparable to 92. In fact, the three high school students combined are not as valuable as Gugliotta."

Gugliotta is a high-quality center produced in 92. In 92, he couldn't even make it to the top three. At least O'Neal, Mourning and Laettner are better than him.

Tang Shuai was dumbfounded, so exaggerated?The value of three high school center forwards from the Celestial Dynasty is not as good as one Gugliotta?

"But the Spaniard Gasol is good. If you have the opportunity, you can choose him."

"After all, you seem to have no other way to go except to show off."

Combe sighed.

Tang Shuai felt more and more that the dinner was too worthwhile. Just these few words from Kong Bu were definitely worth more than 1000 million US dollars.

Just imagine if they were bad, if they really got the No. 1000 lottery, and then used this No. [-] lottery to select one of the three high school students, the loss would definitely be more than [-] million US dollars.

"Con, thank you."

"You are actually a good person, but sometimes your acting style is too rough."

Tang Shuai narrowed his eyes and smiled.

Kong Bu waved his hand, not knowing whether Tang Shuai was praising or scolding himself.
