NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Chapter 244 Almost Betrayed by Jordan's Devil
On the night of the game against the Washington Wizards, Philadelphia's home tickets were sold out, and the scalpers at the entrance of the arena made a lot of money. A seat in the back row that originally cost $[-] or $[-] was directly sold for $[-]. It was still hard to find a ticket.

There is no other reason. Tonight is the first game of Jordan's comeback. Who doesn't want to see with his own eyes how much fuel is in the fuel tank of Jordan now.

After Reggie Miller knew that he was going to play against Jordan tonight, he began to fidget and tremble from time to time in the evening.

He and Jordan are absolute rivals.

Sadly, Jordan never acknowledged Reggie Miller as his nemesis, and it was Jordan who often praised his rocky contemporary Richmond.

Many people think that Jordan is deliberately disgusting Reggie Miller, because although Richmond is strong, his strength is definitely not as good as Miller.

"Old man, take it easy, it's just a regular season."

"There's no need to be so nervous, is there?"

After seeing Miller's abnormality, Combe smiled and comforted him.

"No, Kong, you have no idea how much I want to kill Michael."

"It's a pity that Michael is old, and it doesn't make sense to beat him."

"But I still don't want his comeback night to be easy. Tonight I will let him lose the game in disgrace."

Miller gritted his teeth and said.

Kong Bu was speechless, what kind of enmity was this? He was already so old, yet he could still hate him to such an extent.

But thinking about it carefully, it is not too much to say that these two people have a deep hatred.

The enmity between the two is that the child has no mother, and it is a long story. The two have always been in the east in their careers, and they have played against each other very frequently.

Jordan fought with Miller many times. He even slapped Miller on the field in front of more than 1 fans. Miller was not a vegetarian, and he also elbowed Jordan.

As for the trash talk between these two people, there are countless of them, basically it's about how dirty it is.

Originally, Miller saw Jordan retiring for the second time, and he thought that he would never have the chance to play against Jordan again in this life.

But now with Jordan's comeback, the fire of revenge in his heart was ignited again.

"Kong, I beg you one thing."

"Give me unlimited firepower tonight, and I'll give that damn old guy some color."

Miller rarely asks for the right to fire, and it can be seen that he really doesn't want to let Jordan go.

Kumbu nodded. On a team like the Wizards, even if Jordan came back, their combat power would not be much stronger. Anyway, it is impossible to lose. Miller let him shoot if he wanted to.

Even if he doesn't feel good, there is still Yao Ming at the basket, and he is facing Kwame Brown. If he doesn't abuse the opponent, he will be clean.

At 07:30 in the evening, during the warm-up session between the two sides, Kumbu saw Jordan.

He hadn't seen Jordan in a jersey for years.

Jordan has been wearing the Bulls uniform before, and the dark red uniform looks full of luxury, but now he is wearing the blue Wizards uniform, which looks like a blue-collar worker.

Kumbu looked at the Wizards' lineup, and if he only looked at the book strength, the Wizards are actually not bad.

The head coach is Doug Collins, Jordan's former mentor, and he can be regarded as a famous coach in the league.

Many people once said that Combe was probably an admirer of Doug Collins, because before Combe, only the head coach Collins ran to the court to fight with players.

It's just that as Kongbu's achievements became higher and higher later, no one mentioned this anymore.

The lineup includes Jordan, the former No.1 in the league, Stackhouse, the scoring champion last season, Kwame Brown, the No. [-] pick, and Laettner, the former All-Star insider.

It's a pity that the surface of the donkey dung is smooth, and it looks okay. In fact, the combat power is placed in the current Eastern environment. Let alone the playoffs, it is not bad if it is not the bottom three.

In the warm-up session, Jordan didn't come to chat with Kumbu, and he has been doing shooting training very seriously.

After the warm-up is over, the game officially begins.

Comb's starting lineup tonight is not quite the same as the previous game, because Gerrard returned from suspension, and Comb immediately put him in the starting three position.

Yao Ming, Kirilenko, Gerrard, Miller and Parker, this lineup is much stronger than the previous starting lineup in Comb's opinion.

In the first offensive round of the game, Kwame Brown beat Yao Ming with a jump ball.

The Wizards started to attack, and Tyronn Lue started tonight.

Ever since he was selected by Kong Bu, Grandpa Lu's life trajectory has actually been changed. Under normal circumstances, he is still just a nobody until now.

But now he is a rookie selected by Konbu. In addition, he talks about his relationship with Konbu every day in front of the media, which leads to a lot of performance opportunities for him. Mixed into a starting point guard position.

Has breakthrough ability, good pass control ability, and decent shooting. Although the defense is not strong, but he is very motivated. He is better than Xiaoyu Fisher. Such a strength is more than enough for the Wizards to start.

When Grandpa Lu was warming up tonight, he even went to Kong Bu and said a few words. He said that he was related to Kong Bu 500 years ago.

It is reckoned that this guy is brainwashing Kong Bu, and if he tells too many lies, it will become a fact. At least now, Grandpa Lu himself is convinced that he is a relative of Kong Bu.

In the first offensive round, Grandpa Lu of course passed the ball to Jordan.

Reggie Miller immediately rushed in front of Jordan as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.

Looking at the 39-year-old Jordan, he directly ignored Miller in front of him, raised his hand to make a large long-range mid-range shot, and scored easily.

"I've been off the court for three years, and even so, Reggie, you're still no match for me."

"I can easily cut sixty points off your head!"

Jordan sticks out his big tongue and spouts trash talk at Miller.

"Michael, how did you become a pussy in the past three years? You used to not shoot from this position at the beginning of the game."

"Does it mean that you no longer have the confidence to score at the basket?"

Miller shot back.

In the offensive round of the 76ers, Miller almost shot a long-range mid-range shot from the same position, but unfortunately failed to score.

Fortunately, the rebound was snatched by Yao Ming, and he directly squeezed Kwame Brown under the basket to complete the dunk.

It's the Wizards' offensive round again, and the ball is still in Jordan's hands.

"Move that old ass of yours, or you'll only see me score later."

Jordan's trash talk was so vicious that it made Miller twitch with anger.

Miller's body was flawed. His butt was deformed when he was young. As for what kind of deformity it was, Miller never showed it to anyone. It was deformity anyway.

This time Jordan's mid-range shot failed to score, and Kirilenko took the rebound.

After playing for a few rounds, the fans at the scene suddenly discovered that Jordan, who has retired for so long, still has a good combat effectiveness, and his efficiency on the court is even higher than Miller.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Miller was not the kind of single-minded player, so he quickly winked at Gerrard and asked him to match Jordan.

As the super perimeter defensive gate Gerrard went to match Jordan, Jordan's pressure immediately increased sharply. After all, he is 39 years old, and his footsteps can't get rid of Gerrard at all. There is no advantage, even the bounce is not better than the 20-year-old Gerrard.

"Hey, you damn thing, you know you can't guard against me, so you ask for help?"

After Jordan missed two consecutive shots, he angrily teased Reggie Miller.

Unexpectedly, Miller was not angry at all at this remark, but laughed out loud.

"Yes, that's right, I'm just looking for helpers to deal with you."

"Michael, you had so many helpers a few years ago, why didn't you hear your nonsense."

"Now you have no helpers, and I have countless helpers, are you angry?"

The more Miller talked, the happier he was. What is Feng Shui rotation?

In the first dynasty of Jordan's career, there were Pippen and Cobra Grant, and the second dynasty was more ruthless, with Pippen, Rodman, and Kukoc.

And Miller's best teammate throughout his career may be Schramf, whose historical status and strength are not even as good as Kukoc.

Now the feng shui has turned, Jordan has a bunch of weak teammates, and Miller is surrounded by strong players, the league's top two center Yao Ming, the best striker defensive duo Kirilenko and Gerrard, and even a substitute There is also an FMVP Ginobili on the table.

Jordan was speechless and could only sulk.

In the first half, Jordan's efficiency was not bad, and his mid-range shooting percentage could reach [-]%, which is not much worse than his peak period.

But in the second half, on the one hand, Gerrard's defensive intensity was too high, and on the other hand, the 39-year-old man's physical challenges were great, which caused Jordan's shooting percentage to begin to decline severely.

Only 2 minutes into the fourth quarter, the game almost entered garbage time.

The point difference between the two sides has reached 37 points. Even if Jordan scored [-] points, the Wizards were completely slaughtered by one side.

Miller also scored a lot. He held unlimited firepower and made 8 three-pointers tonight, scoring 39 points in the game.

But to say that the key to the Philadelphia 76ers slinging the Wizards is definitely not Miller, but Yao Ming who sits at the basket.

Yao Ming and Kwame Brown formed an absolutely stark contrast tonight.

This contrast once made Jordan point at Kwame Brown and curse on the court.

Both of them are centers, and both are champions, but the gap is so big that it makes people collapse.

It's not that the Wizards didn't try to pass the ball to Kwame Brown in the first half, let him try to see if he can single Yao Ming under the basket.

As a result, he passed 6 balls, and he missed two of them, and was intercepted by Yao Ming, and the remaining three were shot, but he only hit one with the board.

Butter Hands really lived up to its reputation.

等到比赛正式结束的时候，姚明的成绩单是33分19篮板5助攻1盖帽3抢断2犯规1失误，这三个抢断都是在夸梅布朗身上拿到的。

夸梅布朗则是只有6分6篮板2助攻1盖帽4犯规6失误，他的黄油手不仅仅体现在接球方面，连抢篮板的时候都出现了好几次。

To be reasonable, his strength is actually not that bad. After all, his body is there. If he goes to university for two years and becomes more mature, not to mention an All-Star, he can at least be a serious rotation player.

But now he is just 18 years old, and then he has to face Jordan's mental persecution. He is restrained on the court, and any genius has to be turned into a waste.

"Kong, I have to admit, I regret coming back."

After the game, Jordan's first words to Kumbu almost made Kumbu laugh out loud.

"I'm actually wondering why you came back, and I still can't figure it out."

"Are you doing it for money? It doesn't seem like that. Your sneakers can bring you tens of millions of income every year. Do you care about this little money?"

"For honor? How can you be so foolish as to think this Wizards can bring you any honor."

"For the Wizards? You only account for 5.00% of the Wizards' shares, which is too small a shareholder. If you do this, Will Smith, a minority shareholder in our team, will also have to wear the 76ers shirt."

"So why on earth are you coming back?" Kongbu asked soulfully.

Jordan was taken aback, wasn't he?Why did you come back?

It's definitely not for money, and it's definitely not for honor. He's really not stupid enough to think that the Wizards can win the championship.

Is it for the Wizards?But I have no sense of belonging to the Wizards.

"Yeah, why did I come back? Even if I want to come back, I shouldn't come back in the Wizards."

"I should go to your Philadelphia 76ers!"

Jordan patted his forehead and suddenly realized.

In an instant, he was like an eggplant beaten by frost, "Unfortunately, if I had thought about this earlier, I would have gone directly to you 76ers, and there would be nothing wrong with Reggie Miller."

He said this loudly, probably on purpose for Miller.

Miller rolled his eyes. If he hadn't had absolute trust in Comb's character, he would probably panic now.

If you want Jordan, you still need Miller. Even if it is 39-year-old Jordan, a hundred teams will definitely make the same choice, that is, they want Jordan.

What Jordan can bring to the team is not only his personal combat power, but also various amazing incomes. He is the guarantee of the box office.

He played so well that the fans thought the tickets were worth it.

He played poorly, and the fans felt that they could see the god of basketball deflated, and the ticket was also worth it.

Hearing what Jordan said, Combe couldn't tell whether he was joking or really meant it for a while. If he was willing to come back in his team, Combe would definitely agree with it.

As a coach, a coaching career is incomplete without coaching the God of Basketball.

"By the way, be gentle with Kwame, he's just a child after all!"

"Like your pressure, he has great strength, and it's not bad if he can score five points."

"According to your training method, I feel that he is completely abolished."

Comb doesn't have much to do with Kwame Brown, but he still wants to say a few words for the poor kid.

Unexpectedly, Jordan raised his eyebrows, obviously disagreeing with Combe's statement.

"There's nothing wrong with the way I've been groomed, that's the right way to treat new people."

"Kong, you don't know much about Kwame after all. If you were the one who trained him, you wouldn't be able to train him better than me."

"In this regard, you are young after all, and you can't compare with me."

Kumbu was upset by Jordan's tone, "Then what if I can train Kwame better?"

"Then hurry up and make a deal. What are you waiting for? I don't want your Yao Ming either. I want your Okur. How about it?"

"Use Okur to trade Kwame, trade immediately now, I want to see what you can develop Kwame!"

Urgency was written all over Jordan's face.

Kong Bu was speechless, almost fell for Jordan's devils, this guy must have missed Okur long ago, right?
Although Okur's role in the team is not particularly great, it is not something that Kwame Brown can replace, and it is impossible for Comb to do such an obvious loss-making business.
