NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Chapter 208 Reed's Recording Night

After Comb led the team to leave the Eagles' home court, only one day later, news came that the Eagles had reached a deal with the Knicks.

For the big year of the super insider draft, the Eagles have already made up their minds to play badly.

Kong Bu watched helplessly as the Knicks improved in strength, and there was no good way to stop it.

On the night of the deal, Combe got another call from Thomas Sr.

"Son, it looks like you are destined to not win the championship this season."

"We got Mutombo, do you know what that means? It means that even against your dynasty Raptors, we definitely have a chance to win, let alone the current 76ers."

Old Thomas has been looking forward to this moment for a long time. He is regarded as the leader of Kumbu's NBA career, but he has always been living under the halo of Kumbu.

Now that he has Uncle Mu, his confidence has skyrocketed, and he feels that winning the championship this season is a sure thing.

The significance of Uncle Mu to the Knicks is indeed what Thomas said. After getting it, they already have the capital to compete with the Raptors in the previous two years.

"Then I have to congratulate you."

Kong Bu said with a light smile.

The congratulations made old Thomas's heart shudder. He was ready for Kumbu's cynicism. Who would have thought that Kumbu didn't say anything?

Does this kid have any other tricks?Otherwise, it would be impossible to be so calm.

"What do you want to do boy?"

"Don't tell me that you have already made a deal with the Raptors and won the big money."

Lao Deng said vigilantly that although the Raptors still want to compete for the championship this year, he is too aware of Kumbu's influence on the Raptors. Even if the Raptors send Ben to the 76ers, he will not be surprised at all.

"You will know after a while." Kong Bu smiled mysteriously, and then hung up the phone.

Old Thomas was in a good mood at first, but after making the phone call, he became anxious.

In fact, Kong Bu didn't have any back tricks. He simply didn't want to make the old clapper too proud.

At the end of the road trip, Combe led the generals back to Philadelphia.

The next opponent is the Miami Heat.

The Heat had a deep enmity with Kongbu in the past few years. After all, Kongbu and Riley's fight in the ring is well known, and everyone knows that the relationship between the two is not good.

However, Riley has not provoked Comb much since he led his team to win two championships.

Maybe he also felt that there was nothing he could do about it, and provoking him was tantamount to making himself unhappy. Since he couldn't afford it, he should just stay away from it.

Riley's life this season was very difficult. Mourning was diagnosed with kidney disease and was unable to play.

This is not the most fatal. The Heat's salary this year is very high, and their boss is also thinking about taking advantage of Comb's departure from the Raptors to rush for a wave of championships.

Who would have thought that Mourning would die after not playing a few games in the new season. In this situation, he spent a lot of money and had no hope of winning the championship. Riley, the helm of the Heat, was devastated every day.

If it wasn't for the high salary this year, Riley would even think about messing things up, and compete for those talented high school students like other teams.

It's a pity that the salary is so high. If it is bad, the Heat will become a complete joke.

At eight o'clock in the evening, in the sound of the referee's whistle, the starters of both sides began to appear on the field.

Before the game, the head coaches of both sides didn't say a word, and they directly regarded each other as airmen.

"Shh!"

Just at the beginning of the game, Reid ran out of an open space, and after receiving a pass from Iverson, he directly hit a three-pointer.

It has been almost a month since Kumbuti was put on the starting position. Reed's performance can only be said to be good, slightly worse than those top shooting guards that Kumbuh got before.

The main reason is that the defense really doesn't pass the test very well. The defense against weak chicken shooting guards is okay, but they will be blown up when they encounter top shooting guards.

On the offensive end, he is very active without the ball, but it seems that he lacks the ability to autonomously hold the ball and attack.

Two minutes later, Reid found another opportunity and hit a three-pointer again.

Konbu didn't take it seriously either, he focused on Yao Ming's performance on the field.

Yao Ming's weight gain plan has been carried out for half a month, and the effect is still very good.

The current nutritionist in the team was specially invited by Kumbu Adelman Jr. He is also from a coaching family, and his connections in this area are stronger than Kumbu's.

Yao Ming's weight just measured yesterday was 125 kg, which is still far from the 135 kg planned by Kongbu.

As the saying goes, one bite cannot make a fat man, and the weight gain plan must be carried out step by step.

"Shh!"

While Kumbu was thinking wildly, Reed made another three-pointer on the court.

After half a quarter of the opening game, Reed only got three shots in total, but he hit all three shots, and his efficiency was quite amazing.

Kumbu's employment principle has always been that whoever performs well will go. Reed feels so good tonight, Kumbu simply did not replace Ginobili on the court, and continued to let Reed play on the court.

When there were 2 minutes left in the first quarter, the head coaches of both sides looked weird.

Riley looked at the score on the court and felt worse than killing him. At 38:20, they were already 18 points behind before the first quarter was finished.

They scored 10 points in 20 minutes. In fact, the offensive efficiency is not low, but the efficiency of the 76ers is a bit high and scary.

The reason for Kumbu's weird look was also due to his own offensive efficiency. Reed only took five shots on the field, all of which were three-pointers, and then all hits.

Yao Ming took 5 shots at the basket, and they also shot 100%. Without Mourning at the basket, the Heat couldn't stop Yao Ming's offense at all.

Of course, even if Mourning was there, he could only say that he couldn't make Yao Ming play with such high efficiency, and it was impossible to completely lock Yao Ming.

The two only took 10 shots in total, and they scored 25 points.

"Honestly speaking, Reed is really good. He is always the first to arrive and the last to leave during normal training."

"A very hardworking kid."

"Kong, why don't you hypnotize him too."

Barkley sat next to Comb and began to talk about it. When he got older, he also became a broken mouth.

After Kong Bu "hypnotized" Yao Ming, Yao Ming's originally not very strong rebounding ability immediately exploded. After hitting 40 rebounds in a single game, even facing the blue-collar ceiling of Uncle Mu, he also scored 21 rebounds.

Tonight against the Heat without Mourning, in the first 10 minutes of the quarter, he has already got 8 rebounds. Looking at this posture, he has another 20+ rebounds tonight.

"You really think I'm a god? If I have that kind of hypnotic ability, I'll go to Bill Gates directly."

"Tell me that I am his long-lost father and ask him to transfer all his assets to me. What kind of coach should I be?"

Kong Bu said angrily.

"Can't be hypnotized? Then you must have magic."

"Anyway, you must have something, something unnatural."

Barkley said with great determination.

Combining the miracles that Combe has done over the years, and the real example of Yao Ming, Barkley, who was born in Alabama, is a bit superstitious. He believes in rumors that Combe has some kind of superpower.

"I do have a somewhat unnatural ability to guess anyone's age."

"For example, for your father, add 21 to his age, then subtract 11, and then subtract 10 to get his age."

"Am I right?" Combe teased Barkley.

Unexpectedly, Barkley really counted with his fingers. After 1 minute, he was shocked.

"God, you're really right."

"I just said you have superpowers!" Barkley pointed at Combe and said in horror.

Kumbu was speechless, and Barkley was indeed a not-so-intelligent iron bastard.

"Shh!"

While the two were chatting, Reed on the court threw another three-pointer, which was already his sixth three-pointer in the first quarter.

Riley quickly called a timeout.

Comb also took advantage of this timeout to make substitutions, replacing Ratliff and Barkley, and replacing Yao Ming and Oakley.

Reed was also substituted, replaced by Manu Ginobili on the bench.

"Rick, come here."

Comb let Reid sit next to him, and then called Adelman over.

"What is the current three-point record in the NBA?"

"12, just born record, a few days ago when Kobe played against the Sonics." Little Adelman laughed, he already knew what Comb wanted to do.

"Did you hear that? Michael, the current record of three-pointers in a single game is only 12."

"You hit six in the first quarter."

"We have such a big lead, so we don't have to worry about losing. Next, I will let Arondo pass the ball to you."

"I don't care what method you use, at least hit me 13 three-pointers tonight."

"What about Kobe and Maddie Carter, they are not even named Michael, so why should they be Jordan's successors?"

"You are the real Jordan successor."

Kumbu brainwashed Reed, which made Reed restless.

When he was selected by Kumbu, he also fantasized that he would become a highly anticipated super shooting guard like Maddie Carter.

It's a pity that in the first year of being selected, he didn't even get the qualification to sign with the team.

Finally, he was brought to the 76ers by Comb in the second year, and he was also given the opportunity to start, but he found that he seemed to think a little too much.

First of all, the defensive ability is not as good as those super shooting guards, and then there is no tactical status in the team. His only tactic is to run, running non-stop, waiting for Iverson to pass him the ball.

He feels that his career is just like this, and the difference is not too bad, but he certainly doesn't want to become an All-Star shooting guard.

He is quite content with himself. After all, he was not favored in the first place, or he would be just a second-round pick. Now that he is in the starting lineup in the hands of Kongbu, he has no way to demand too much.

As a result, what Kong Bu said just now rekindled hope and ambition in his heart.

Maybe my career can still be saved, maybe I will have the opportunity to enter the All-Star in the future.

At the beginning of the second quarter, he returned to the court with only an unlucky number 13 in his mind. This is the number of three-pointers that Kumbu made him hit tonight.

"boom!"

The Heat stepped up their defense against him, and he failed to score the first three-pointer after his debut.

The next second [-]-pointer also missed.

Reid couldn't help but look at Kongbu on the sidelines, and saw that Kongbu was looking at him with an encouraging look, which made him more confident.

When four minutes into the second quarter, Reed finally hit his seventh three-pointer.

Kumbu wasn't worried about the team losing the game at all. The sky was falling and there was a tall Yao Ming standing under the basket of the 76ers. The Heat had nothing to do with him.

And even if he really loses, if Reid can really break the single-game three-point record, then Combe doesn't feel bad.

The game passed minute by minute, and by the end of the first half, Reed had scored nine three-pointers.

In the first quarter, he made 6 of 6 three-pointers, while in the second quarter he made 8 of 3 three-pointers. The efficiency has dropped a lot.

This is also something that can’t be helped. The Heat have strengthened the restrictions on Reed, and the marking has become tighter. Reed has no chance to make an open three-pointer, and his accuracy has naturally declined.

"Come on, kid."

"It's your luck to be able to play under Kongbu, and you must seize the opportunity."

"If I were 20 years younger, I believe every record in this league would be my name."

Barkley started blowing wildly again.

Reed quickly nodded solemnly. He agreed with Barkley's words. It was indeed his luck to be able to work under Combe.

When the second half started, Reid scored a three-pointer in the first offensive round, rewriting his three-pointer in the game to 10.

It's a pity that in the next 8 minutes, he took six three-pointers and failed to score all of them.

The Heat also took the opportunity to recover some point difference, but the point difference in the first quarter was too big, causing them to still fall behind by 11 points.

Until the end of the third quarter, Reid failed to hit even a single three-pointer and handed over a 9-of-1 report card in a single quarter.

During the break between festivals, Kumbu didn't say anything, but just looked at Reed with encouraging eyes.

In the fourth quarter of the game, Reed continued to play with the trust of Comb. After the first shot was missed, the next two three-pointers were all hit.

Since then, he has tied Kobe's single-game three-point record.

By the halfway point of the fourth quarter, Reed's tireless off-the-ball movement finally paid off. He found a comfortable shooting space outside the three-point line, and Iverson's pass arrived in an instant.

"Swish"

With a crisp sound, Reid's three-pointer went into the net hollowly.

Comb quickly called a timeout, and the historical record was born. It was time for Reid to enjoy the cheers and applause from the fans.

The moment he left the field, Reed was so excited that his eyes were flushed.

As a player who doesn't have a strong sense of presence, listening to the cheers of tens of thousands of fans, he finally found a little pleasure of being a star.

"Coach, thank you."

"Thank you for giving me the opportunity!"

Reed suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said to Kumbu in a calm tone as much as possible.

Kong Bu shook his head, "Thank me for what? I didn't make those thirteen three-pointers for you."

"If you want to thank, thank you Allen. He is a qualified team leader. He has only shot five times tonight. You broke the record tonight, and he also broke the record. He broke his record for the fewest shots in a single game. .”

"In addition, thank you for your hard work. We all see your hard work."

Combe patted Reid on the shoulder and smiled.

Iverson has played in the NBA for more than four years, and the previous record for the fewest shots in a single game was 9. Tonight, for Reid, he took the initiative to sacrifice his right to shoot.

The record has also been broken, and of course the next thing to do is to ensure that the game is won.

"Dudududu!"

The referee blew the whistle, and the 76ers sat at home, winning the Heat by seven points with a score of 107:100.

Reid took 28 shots, all of which were three-pointers, and scored 13 of them. In addition, he made 2 of 2 free throws, scoring a total of 41 points.

In fact, this is not just a record for the number of three-pointers made in a single game. At the same time, this is also the highest score in a single game in NBA history without scoring two-pointers.
