NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Chapter 251 The Magnificent King

Kumbu is in a good mood. Looking at the posture tonight, his team has finally passed the trough.

"Kong, your lineup is really enviable."

"This is definitely the lineup that every head coach dreams of. If I can coach a lineup like yours, I would rather lose ten years of my life!"

During the handshake after the game, Doc Rivers sighed at Comb.

Kong Bu didn't like to hear these words very much. Why did He Douyuan hurt himself?The better the lineup, the less need for a coach with strong coaching ability. Is this old guy secretly scolding himself?
"Doug, you will have more chances of losing your life in the future. I think you are lucky. This time, you were not able to form the Magic Big Three. There will be more Big Three waiting for you in the future."

Combe said with a smile.

Speaking of which, He Document's luck is indeed unique among the coaches.

As soon as he became the coach, he had the opportunity to coach the Magic Big Three, but unfortunately he was ruined by himself, and later went to coach the Green Kai Big Three.

Then he went to coach the Big Three of the Clippers, Paul, Griffin and Jordan. These three were also the top three figures in various positions in the league at the time.

Other coaches really don't have such luck as him, and the only one who can compare with him may be Zen Master.

"I hope so." He Wenwen said lonely, he only felt that Kong Bu said this to comfort himself.

After shaking Doc's hand, Combe saw Jalen Jackson Sr.

He is almost 35 years old now, but his son Jia Lun is only two years old, and he is a typical example of eugenics...

"Hey Jalen, good game tonight."

Kong Bu smiled and shook hands with old Jalen.

Old Jia Lun looked confused, did he play well tonight?It seems that they played for less than 10 minutes and didn't score a point. Is this called a good game?

If he hadn't had any grievances with Kongbu, he must have felt that Kongbu was belittling himself.

He has been playing for the Spurs in the past few years, especially the 97-98 season when Combe just entered the league. He played 45 starts for the Spurs and played against Combe's Raptors many times.

Because of the close relationship between Kumbu and Duncan, the Spurs players have also had meals with Kumbu.

"Kong, don't make fun of an old guy like me who is about to retire."

"If I go to your team now, I may not even be qualified to guard the drinking fountains."

Old Jalen's experience is actually inspirational enough. As a draft pick, he has played in the NBA for 12 years, which is not easy.

The NBA has at least half of the first-round picks, and their career years are not as high as his.

"It's too exaggerated. I heard that you have a son? Cultivate him well. I think his future achievements will be far higher than yours."

No matter which country you are in, it is not unacceptable to praise the other party's son for his future achievements than his father.

Old Jia Lun smiled. He had his first son in his 30s, so he liked this son very much. Hearing what Kongbu said, he immediately thought of Kongbu's training camp.

During the offseason, the training camp reality show was extremely popular, and it also attracted many players and children.

Of course the most popular is the immature Curry, and Kumbu gave the little Curry a very high evaluation.

Old Jalen became interested and asked, "Kong, do you think my son will have a chance to play in the NBA in the future?"

"He weighed eight pounds when he was born, and now he is two years old. He is bigger than when I was two years old. I think he may grow to seven feet in the future."

Combe nodded, "Of course, I have a hunch that kid will become the next Camby."

"It's very likely to be higher than Camby's achievement, so you should cultivate it well."

Jalen Jr. is indeed a bit similar to Camby in style. The offensive end is not too sharp, but he is a little stronger than Camby.

Rebounds are not considered strong, but in the small ball era of later generations, weak rebounds are not a big problem.

They all have a strong ability to block shots and have outstanding defensive awareness.

Hearing the evaluation given by Combe, the old Jalen was even happier. He didn't believe that the child of the Curry family could achieve higher achievements than Reggie Miller in the future, and Combe said that his son would be able to match him in the future. Evaluation sounds much more reliable.

Camby is a star, but he is not that kind of first-tier star. Excluding his status as a member of the dynasty Raptors, he is probably on the same level as Oakley or Cobra Grant in his peak period.

His own child can grow to this level, and the ten thousand-year soy sauce player like old Jalen is extremely satisfied.

He decided to wait until his child was older, and when he was five, send him to Kumbu's training camp.

After the handshake session was over, Kong Bu led the generals back to the locker room.

According to the usual practice, Combe needs to praise some outstanding players.

Randolph's performance tonight was outstanding. With Yao Ming as his partner, he even got a double-double of 21 points and 10 rebounds tonight.

Ginobili on the bench is still playing steadily. When Iverson is not on the court, he is the pinnacle of the backcourt, helping the team stabilize the situation with the offensive end.

But to say that the best performer should be undoubtedly Iverson.

His style tonight is a bit weird, it's completely different from the style of play in previous years.

Iverson's offensive desire was extremely strong before, and the possession of the ball was his life. If you want him not to attack, it is better to kill him directly.

But he had almost no desire to attack tonight. He only took six shots and scored three of them. He made 6 of 4 free throws and scored 10 points in total.

不过其他方面的数据却无比突出，10分4篮板18助攻7抢断2盖帽，关键是失误数就只有1次！
Sending 18 assists, but only 1 turnover, no one can believe that this is the data played by Iverson.

Comb speculated that Iverson might be ashamed of his teammates, so he minimized his shot rights and gave up opportunities to his teammates.

Iverson was responsible for the downturn the team had experienced before, and he knew it very well.

After playing the Magic, Comb led his team to Saramento, where their next opponent was the Kings.

The Kings are currently ranked first in the Western Conference, with a better record than the Lakers and Spurs.

The old Adelman has vision, he sold Baiqiao in exchange for the white devil Bibby, then increased the weight of Peja Stojakovic on the offensive end, and then followed the young player Turkog on the bench Lu's growth, in addition to veterans Doug Christie and Divac's support, the fighting power of this King's team has entered the peak period of team history.

Many old domestic fans are obsessed with this Kings team. When Kumbu was in high school, the most jerseys worn on the school court were the Kings, and then the Timberwolves.

On the contrary, the jerseys of the four shooting guards who were very popular later were rarely worn by anyone.

Comb can also be regarded as a loyal fan of this Kings team. He admires the Kings' team that uses the poor Princeton system to achieve gorgeous results.

Before the start of the game, Combe had a chat with Christie, the king's backcourt gate.

The two have a mentoring relationship. When Combe first coached the Raptors, Christie played for the Raptors. Later, because Christie's tigress wife made a scene in the locker room, Christie cried and asked Combe to put himself trade out.

"Woman made a mistake, hey!"

Every time Christie sees Comb, the opening remarks always come up with this sentence.

If he hadn't left the Raptors, he would still be a member of the dynasty now, even if he retired in the future, he could do well with this status alone.

And now he left when the Raptors won their first championship, and became a joke for the fans after dinner. This is like the death of the Qing Dynasty, and he went to be a eunuch.

"Every time I think about it, I'm so angry that I can't sleep, I pull her up and beat her up."

"I hate it so much, Kong, can you understand my feelings?"

Christie said worriedly.

"Really beat her up? I don't believe it. I seem to have your wife's phone number. Why don't I call and ask?" Kong Bu joked.

"Cough cough."

Christie coughed violently and began to change the subject.

"Kong, what do you think of the strength of our king?"

"Is there any hope of winning the championship?"

"I dream of winning a championship now. If I hadn't left the Raptors, I would have at least three championship rings in my hand now!"

Kumbu nodded and smiled, "Of course there is hope of winning the championship. As the team with the best record in the Western Conference, who can say that there is no hope of winning the championship."

"But the championship doesn't mean anything. A team without a championship can still have the support of many fans. This is the case with your king."

"At least I like this king very much. Mr. Adelman is very admirable."

Christie was speechless, and after talking for a long time, didn't she mean that the king had no hope of winning the championship?

What can't a championship represent?Doesn't it hurt to stand up and talk?

In the NBA, the championship can represent everything. Without a championship, everything is false.

Little Adelman, who was sitting next to Combe, smiled wryly. It seemed that his old father had been busy for nothing this season.

Of course he hopes that his father can win the championship once. After all, he is so old, who knows how many more years he can coach.

Combe said that the king has little hope of winning the championship, mainly because of the king's inside line.

The inside partner of Divac and Webber has nothing wrong with the offensive end, and the two can score nearly [-] points per game!

The offensive firepower of the league is stronger than this pair of partners, very few. Today's Philadelphia 76ers, the inside combination of Yao Ming and Randolph, is probably at this level, not much stronger than the Kings Twin Towers.

On the rebounding side, the Kings Twin Towers can also average 20 rebounds per game.

This aspect is not the top, and there are still several pairs in the league that can reach this level, but it certainly cannot be said to be bad.

Offensive and rebounding are fine, but the biggest problem with the Kings Twin Towers is defense.

Divac can almost be said to be unable to defend against anyone. He was able to defend at his peak. Now that he is older, if he meets O'Pang in the Western Conference Finals, O'Pang's head will be crushed.

Under normal circumstances, this year's Western Conference Finals is the Kings vs. the Lakers. In the end, the Lakers defeated the Kings 4:3.

It looked as if the king had almost won, but it was not that simple.

Kobe's performance is very ordinary, averaging 27 points per game, scoring a lot, but his shooting percentage is only 42%, which can't be said to be a trap. After all, this is the data under Christie's full-court marking.

Fisher fully played the true qualities of the ATM, no, he is not as good as the ATM in this round of the Western Conference Finals, at least the ATM not only spits out money, but also swallows it.

Fisher, on the other hand, averaged 28% shooting from the field, and Bibby, the defending white devil, averaged 45% shooting from the field and 23 points per game.

You must know that Bibby averaged only 13.7 points per game in the regular season. After meeting Fisher, he was as strong as a ghost.

This is the ATM that spits out money without depositing money.

Logically speaking, with Xiaoyu's performance, he should have retired a long time ago, but he is still doing very well with the Lakers and has always been in the starting position.

He may have saved the Zen master's life in his previous life, and in this life the Zen master has come to repay his kindness.

In this case, the Kings still lost. The main reason is that Divac has nothing to do with O'Pang.

This is still against the Lakers who normally only have a single tower. Now that the Lakers have Malone, the Kings are even more useless in a fight. It's not bad if they don't get swept.

……

After the start of the game on the field, the problem of the King's internal defense being too weak was clearly exposed.

Yao Ming killed Divac, and Divac couldn't do anything about him. Webber wanted to help double-team Yao Ming, but Randolph started to explode again.

This nimble, fat man is very capable of stealing chickens, and he can always get comfortable mid-range shots in positions that Weber can't look after.

But Randolph can't limit Webber's offense.

In addition, Peja played very well tonight, so the two sides played back and forth.

As a member of the 96 golden generation, Peja actually only officially entered the league in 98. He is a sharpshooter who does not lose to Ray Allen at all, and his career shooting percentage is the same as Ray Allen.

In the 98-99 season, Comb actually had Peja's idea, thinking that Peja's rookie season data was not outstanding, and traded him to his Raptors.

But at that time, the Raptors already had Carter and Pierce on the front line, so Comb didn't trade with the Kings.

When the game came to an end, the Philadelphia 76ers beat the Kings by six points, 111-105.

This is the complete Philadelphia 76ers. They only won by six points, which is enough to see that the strength of this king is not bad.

If it weren't for Divac's poor defense, this King's team really has a good chance of winning the championship.

After the game, Adelman whispered to Combra in a corner with a strange expression.

Kumbu sighed, and his assistant coach lineup, which was not well-off, was going to leave again.

What the old Adelman meant was that Adelman Jr.'s wings were hardened now, and he wanted him to come to the Kings to take up a management position. After all, the father knew very well that Adelman Jr. was not interested in coaching.

Adelman Jr. has won three championships with Comb, two with the Raptors, and one with the Philadelphia 76ers. In addition, he also holds the position of the head of the coaches union. , no one can fault it.

What can Kong Bu do, he can only agree.

Little Adelman has a better development, and he is also happy from the bottom of his heart.
