NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

第258章 50+20+15+5的杰拉德
Gerrard on the field, the ferocity of the beast in his body was completely released.

He was originally a desperate Saburo. Whether it was defense or offense, he played desperately, especially on the offensive end. He was like a crazy Ivan, who rushed to the basket with a basketball and blew himself up.

This is also the reason why his peak period was very short. This way of playing is too easy to get injured. Later, he was elbowed by the Lakers' shark Bynum until he almost hiccupped, and a large piece of his lung collapsed.

But tonight, he didn't have so many hidden worries when he worked hard tonight. Although Ostertag had partnered with Malone for two years, he was still kind-hearted by nature, and he didn't learn Malone's elbow tricks, so he wasn't worried that he would treat Jay. Rudd under the black hands.

Iverson got the ball up the court, passed it to Gerald immediately, and Gerald started charging with a thin Bryan Russell.

Others call it a breakthrough, but he is purely charging.

After rushing to the basket, Yao Ming squeezed away Jazz center Ostertag as much as possible to create a comfortable shooting space for Gerrard.

"Snapped!"

A look of embarrassment appeared on Gerrard's face when the floater failed to score, but he quickly grabbed the offensive rebound, played a second attack, and dunked the ball into the basket.

With the help of his teammates, coupled with the Jazz's old, weak, sick and disabled lineup, Gerrard on the court is like a god of war on the offensive end, and he is completely uninhabited in the Jazz's penalty area.

It is reasonable to say that if Iverson is fully fired tonight, he can also score at least [-] points.

But as the boss of the team, Kumbu has been instilling a thought in the past two years, that is, only the boss of the team who can make his teammates stronger can be considered a qualified boss, the real boss.

Others at the All-Star level or the best team level will gradually become the patron saint of drinking fountains after they come to you. Who would recognize such a boss.

Someone else is an outside blue-collar, or just an ordinary starting player, who becomes a top star when he comes to you. Who would deny such a boss.

Iverson agrees with Kumbu's statement very much, so whenever he has the opportunity, he will also chat with the young people in the team and help them grow as much as possible on the court.

It is rare for Gerrard, who has been making sacrifices for the team tonight, to have the opportunity to play dazzling statistics, and Iverson fully supports it.

The game passed minute by minute, and Gerrard dominated the game on both ends of the offense and defense.

第三节打完的时候，双方的分差已经来到了三十分，杰拉德的个人数据已经来到了42分15篮板11助攻4抢断2盖帽。

A quadruple-double is definitely out of the question, but tonight Gerrard scored a super large triple-double of 50 points and 20 rebounds without any problems.

Iverson is willing to sacrifice the possession of the ball for Gerrard. Of course, Yao Ming also expressed that he is helping Gerrard grab rebounds as much as possible.

Unlike Iverson grabbing rebounds, even if his teammates help him get stuck, Iverson still struggles to grab rebounds.

And Gerrard himself has a good rebounding ability, coupled with Yao Ming and Fatty Lan's two big meat shields to help block positions, no one can snatch him on the field.

After the start of the fourth quarter, the Jazz had given up the game and replaced it with a pure substitute lineup.

Kumbu also replaced the starting lineup, except for Gerrard.

Gerrard himself is not a core member of the team. Even if he plays in garbage time, no one can say anything. After all, there must be five players on the court. The Philadelphia 76ers only have eleven players on the sidelines. Pick out the five "weakest" players to play, and Gerrard must be among them.

Jerry Sloan's expression was still calm, because such a score was completely within his expectations.

He was even a little relieved, because before the game, he was more worried about being hit by Kumbu with the largest single-game point difference record in history, which would be embarrassing.

Now it's a [-]-point loss if you hit the sky, which is completely acceptable.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the Philadelphia 76ers sat at home with a score of 119:80, beating the Utah Jazz by 39 points.

杰拉德也顺利的打出了个人职业生涯至今最为完美的一场比赛，51分20篮板15助攻5抢断2盖帽。

Although it's not a quadruple-double, it's not a five-by-five, and it doesn't score 60 points, but the combination of this data is enough to rank high in the entire NBA history.

It can even be said to be the only one in NBA history!
别说50+20+15+5的数据了，就是单纯的50+20，自打1986赛季后就没出现过几次。

刨除姚明上次打出的70+20，也就只有奥胖的61分23篮板以及韦伯上个赛季打出来的51分26篮板。

The later thick-browed Anthony Davis also scored 59 points and 20 rebounds once.

None of these three statistics has more than five assists. After scoring 50+ in a single game, he can still record 15 assists in a single game, and even have 5 steals and 2 blocks on the defensive end.

At first glance, this data is not so amazing, but at another glance, it is divine. Maybe no one will ever be able to play this level of performance in the future.

Gerrard also has an inherent advantage in collecting assist data, especially when partnering with a super center like Yao Ming.

Both he and Iverson have the top-level ability to deliver shells, but Iverson used skills to break through the basket, and Gerrard hit the basket with a beast-like body.

The methods are different, but the result is the same. They both handed the ball to Yao Ming at the basket. They only need Yao Ming to dunk on the spot, and they can get an assist statistic.

After the game, even an introverted player like Gerrard looked at his technical statistics with a smirk on his face, unable to hide the joy in his heart.

"What are you still giggling about?"

"Hurry up and thank the boss, as well as Alan and Dayao."

Bread brother Mike Brown saw Gerrard smirking all the time, and directly reminded him angrily.

Under his reminder, Gerrard shyly thanked Comb and many teammates.

He is not an extrovert himself, and he can't speak a lot.

Kong Bu glared at Brother Bread. This guy is really good at serving people. He is good at bullying people. Iverson had a quadruple-double last time, but I didn’t see him talking to Iverson with such an attitude.

A hearty victory made Comb less concerned about the deal between the Jazz and the Lakers.

Even if Stockton goes, so what? Anyway, in Comb's view, their Philadelphia 76ers are still the one with the bigger chance of winning.

……

"Great game, great players!"

"That's what we're producing in Alabama!"

"I regret being this commentator more and more now. If I hadn't retired, I would have stayed in Philadelphia and taught my young fellow countryman how to become a superstar faster!"

"In him, I saw all the potential to be a superstar!"

"Extreme physical talent, hard-working spirit, humble character, and a coach like Kongbu!"

After the game, Barkley shouted wildly in the commentary room.

He is also from Alabama, and he is from the same town as Gerald. He is honored to see his little brother play such a strong performance.

Kenny Smith rolled his eyes straight. Since Barkley joined TNT, he has been talking about not retiring from Philadelphia.

Doesn't this guy even think about it, he wants to stay in Philadelphia, and whether Philadelphia wants him to stay is a question.

The Philadelphia 76ers are now strong and strong, what do you want him to do with an old man?
Barkley has a lot of affection for the Philadelphia 76ers. This is where his career started and where he ended his career. The only championship ring in his hand was also won in Philadelphia.

So as long as it is a game in Philadelphia, he will not fail every game, and he will clearly support Philadelphia every time he explains.

……

In the afternoon of the next day, Combe had just finished meeting with the minority shareholders Mr. and Mrs. Smith in the office.

The couple were poisonous, and they wanted to take Kong Bu to some dinner party if they had nothing to do, but Kong Bu didn't give them a chance at all. He would rather go home and eat steamed buns than go to that kind of occasion.

That circle is too chaotic. A traditional man like Kumbu doesn't want his brother-in-law to be all over the court in the future, and they may even be the players he coaches.

After seeing off the Smiths, Combe returned to the training ground.

The teaching assistants are busy with their own work.

Chief assistant Brian Hill is in charge of all affairs, and when Combe is away, he is the coach.

DJ is responsible for the defensive training of the team's outside players. He is the gatekeeper of outside defense. He has rich experience in this area. It is very good for the growth of Gerrard, Kirilenko and others. Even Fatty Lan has benefited a lot .

Stan Van Gundy is training newcomers to attack. After all, he has been with Pat Riley for almost ten years, and his ability in this area can be called the top in the league.

Sam Mitchell is more like an analyst for the team. He pushes his gold-rimmed glasses from time to time, holds various forms in his hand, and then talks to the players, analyzing how they play on the court from the data port can be more efficient .

For example, the shooting percentage of some players on the right side is much higher than that on the left side from the data point of view. The best way to play in that field is of course to take more shots from the right side and reduce the frequency of shots from the left side.

There is also a certain player of the opponent who has the highest shooting percentage at a certain point, and his own players can strictly guard against this point.

Mitchell's gold-rimmed glasses are not for nothing. For the kind of work he does, the image of a university professor will be more convincing, and he looks very professional.

As for Brother Bread, Kong Bu didn't know what this guy was busy with every day.

Basically every time he returns to the training ground after busy work, he will only see him doing the same thing.

Either he rubbed Iverson's shoulders and beat his back, or he rubbed his shoulders and beat his back for Yao Ming. Those who didn't know thought he was the team's physical therapist.

It's fine if it's a physical therapist. The key is that he only serves Yao and Ai. Others, even stars like Reggie Miller, can't get his services.

"Well……"

Iverson snorted comfortably, then got up and patted Brother Bread on the shoulder, and shouted at Yao Ming, asking him to enjoy it too.

"My craft has been passed down from my grandparents, and ordinary people really can't enjoy it."

"Dayao, you've been too tired recently, you must take good care of your body."

"Allen, let's have lunch together at noon tomorrow? I'll make you an apple pie and let you taste my cooking skills."

Brother Bread and Yao Ai got along with each other, and the relationship seemed very close.

Comb can't help but laugh. If he didn't know Bread's virtues very well, he would even think that Bread was imitating Pat Riley's operation when he was an assistant coach for the Lakers, building a good relationship with the absolute core of the team, and then squeezing out himself as the coach. .

This guy doesn't have many bad intentions, he is simply insecure, and hopes to build a good relationship with important people on the team, at least it can make his career longer.

As for why he has no sense of security, it starts with his resume.

NBA players are generally divided into two factions, one is the academic school, and the other is the player school. Brother Bread belongs to the rare two factions. It is very rare in the NBA to have a coach who has no foundation at all.

He played basketball at the University of San Diego for two years in college, and found that he had no basketball talent at all, so he stopped playing altogether. After receiving a bachelor's degree in business administration, he entered the Nuggets at his own expense as an intern video editor.

Note that it is at his own expense. Others earn money from part-time jobs, so he has to give money to the team.

After working for a period of time, with my own efforts, I finally became a regular in 1995.

Then he worked as a scout for a while, until he entered the coaching staff of Comb, he was a scout for the Nuggets.

A low-level person like him with no connections or roots lives on thin ice in the NBA. If he accidentally offends a big shot, he may be fired in the next second.

Take Iverson as an example, if Brother Bread offends Iverson, he may really have to pack up and leave immediately.

Many people call Brother Bread a nanny-type coach, and to put it more harshly, a house-slave-type coach.

He coached the Cavaliers for a period of time, and he treated James with a kneeling and licking attitude. Later, after Delonte West retired, he even angered Brother Bread. When James didn’t retreat, Brother Bread didn’t dare to fart. One, and if he, West, doesn't retreat, Brother Bread can scold him until he can't take care of himself.

In fact, Combe can understand Brother Bread very well, and even sympathizes with him. This is the tragedy of the little people. If Brother Bread is the son of old Adelman or old Nelson, he doesn’t need to be so servile. Staying at the master's office, the big deal is to quit, and you can always find a job with your family connections.

In addition, it was not entirely out of sympathy that Kumbu brought Bread into his coaching staff. Bread has real talents.

He won the best coach of the year when he coached the Kings in 2023, which is enough to prove that he has something in his stomach.

Seeing Brother Bread's flattering smiles at Iverson and Yao Ming, Kong Bu sighed, feeling that he needed to have a good chat with Brother Bread.

His attitude made Yao and Ai happy, but the other players would definitely have opinions.
