NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Chapter 261 Pity the world's parents heart
It's not yet April, and there are at least three months before the offseason. Many acquaintances have already started to ask Kongbu about this year's summer training camp.

During the offseason of last season, the effect of the training camp was really good.

The strength of the players has improved rapidly, especially those young players. After returning to their respective schools, they have obviously shown stronger strength than before.

Some of the few NCAA players who participated in the training camp even reached the semi-finals of the national championship.

The improvement of strength is one aspect, and more importantly, they may become a well-known reality show star in the United States like Curry.

Knicks owner James Dolan also mentioned this matter to Comb early, asking him to prepare earlier.

Perhaps in Dolan's view, the training camp is the real business, after all, this reality show can bring considerable benefits.

Anyway, far more than Kumbu's annual salary.

Kumbu originally thought of canceling this year's training camp. After all, this year he has to lead his team to play in the Men's Basketball World Championships, and the time is very tight.

However, considering that this year's Men's Basketball World Championships will be played in the old United States, it seems that it is not impossible to take the men's basketball players to train while holding the training camp.

He called Larry Bird directly. After all, he is the person in charge of the Pacers, and it must be right to find him in Indiana.

"Renting a training ground is a trivial matter. You can even use our training ground directly. After all, we have a holiday during the offseason and we don't need it."

"But you have to do me a favor, help me take care of my kid, he has no talent in basketball, and he doesn't have the slightest love for basketball, but I still want him to enter this circle."

"Even if he doesn't play basketball and is a scout or an assistant coach, at least after I die, he can have a job to make a living."

Larry Bird said with a sigh.

His son, Connor Bird, was not a quickie, Comb had heard.

The children of many stars in the NBA are not successful. For example, Jordan's son has not inherited Jordan's basketball talent at all, and has been gnawing on the old.

But gnawing on the old is not bad, at least they didn't cause any trouble for Jordan except for the shameful fact that they messed with Pippen's wife.

Like Kidd's daughter Cheney Kidd, a frequent visitor to the drug rehabilitation center, even ran to sell herself because Kidd gave too little pocket money, and indecent photos of her were circulated on the Internet.

Van Exel's son was even crazier. He killed his classmate with a shotgun and threw the body away. He was sentenced to 60 years in prison.

The magician's son EJ sauce is considered an honest person. After all, he didn't do anything harmful to the world, but he dressed up a little bit spicy.

And Larry Bird's son, Connor Bird, is also a frequent visitor to the drug rehabilitation center and has a very bad temper. It is rumored that he wanted to drive his girlfriend to death. The reason why he was not prosecuted is that the old Bird must have spent a lot of money.

Kong Bu was too embarrassed to refuse Old Bird, so he could only agree.

In fact, Old Bird also knew that his child would definitely not be able to enter the NBA. His body was full of fat, and he could not be the owner of this bowl of rice at first glance, but he still wanted to leave a way out for his child. Hiccup, although I can keep a lot of money, maybe that bastard kid will squander it in three or two years.

In Old Byrd's mind, if his son could be as perfect as Kongbu, he would really die with peace.

So he thought about sending his son to Kongbu, even if he learned a little bit about Kongbu, it would be worth the money.

This time he participated in Kumbu's training camp. After the training camp was over, he still wanted to let his son go to Kumbu's team for an internship at his own expense, just like Mike Brown did.

"By the way, Kong, I heard that you have decided to compete with that boy Michael for the ownership of the new army?"

Larry Bird asked.

Kong Bu roared in his heart, why is Jordan so big-mouthed, what he just said to him, he turned his head and passed it directly.

"There is such a thing, but the new army still has at least two years, everything is full of variables."

Kumbu didn't dare to say it to death. Jordan is really a bit unreliable. Who knows if there will be any changes in the future.

"Well, then we seem to have to withdraw from the competition."

"It's not that I'm worried about that kid Michael, but that I have no chance of winning if I compete with you."

"Even if the time comes to vote, I think you will definitely have an overwhelming advantage."

"After all, who would have trouble with money?"

Old Byrd said with emotion.

In fact, he was looking forward to becoming the boss of the new team, but when he heard that Kongbu and Jordan came to compete together, this thought was gone.

Because he knew that he would definitely not be able to compete.

It's easy for Jordan to say that his partnership with Combe didn't actually add any weight, but it might be a negative factor.

The main reason is that Jordan's management ability is not very good. The owners of the teams are afraid that he will compete with Kumbu for power and cause the new army to lose money.

There are many loss-making teams in the league. They are actually sucking the blood of profitable teams such as the Knicks and Lakers.

The fewer loss-making teams, the more teams such as the Knicks and Lakers will earn.

Under normal circumstances, new teams will definitely lose money. Some teams may have been losing money for more than ten years after their establishment, and need subsidies from the league.

But if Kongbu is in charge of the new army, the situation will be different. Everyone knows that Kongbu is absolutely capable of making the new army profitable.

Can make more money, the team owner of course supports Kumbu.

Larry Bird is very aware of this. In terms of profitability alone, he is completely incomparable with Combe, and he simply withdrew from the competition.

……

April 4st, less than half a month before the end of the regular season.

Comb led the team to Milwaukee to play away.

After arriving in Milwaukee, Comb declined a dinner invitation from Bucks coach George Karl. Instead, he called Larry Harris, the son of Silver Fox Harris, and asked him to come out for a meal and chat.

Harris Jr. is still an assistant right now, but it won't be long before he will be crowned Dabao and become the helm of the Bucks.

In fact, Kong Bu didn't quite understand why an assistant could become the general manager in a short period of time. If there is nothing tricky about it, it must be impossible.

But thinking about it carefully, Silver Fox Harris doesn't seem to have the kind of energy that can affect the decision of the Bucks boss. If he could, he wouldn't have been fired by the Bucks in the first place.

After the meeting, when I met Larry Harris for the first time, Combe roughly guessed what the Bucks boss was thinking.

Little Harris looked really frugal. His clothes were extremely plain, even worse than the 200 yuan high-end goods that Comb had.

In addition, he drives the same car as Combe, which is also a cracked second-hand Chevrolet.

Combe recalled a memory from his previous life. There are anonymous votes in the NBA from time to time, such as voting for the player who is least willing to defend, the player with the best ball-handling ability, the head coach with the worst coaching ability, and so on.

There is also an anonymous vote on the general manager of the team.

A poll about the most stingy general manager in the league, and Larry Harris topped the list.

Fans have the impression of stingy general managers such as Popovich and Fatty Morey, but in the eyes of players or management in the circle, Harris Jr. is the most stingy one.

It is rumored that the paper in this guy's office is reused, and the office staff only issue two pens a year, and replace the refills by themselves when they are used up.

Anyway, he can save as much as he can on the team's expenses, and he can't wait to use up a penny.

Of course, being stingy is not a compliment, especially when stingy has reached this point, but in the eyes of the team owner, this is a rare and good quality.

The less you spend, the more you earn. Which boss doesn't like this kind of manager.

The only thing is that his vision is not very good. After taking office, he did a lot of speechless operations, such as using Ray Allen to trade with the Sonics to Payton, and in the draft, he selected Yi Jianlian who had never tried out.

If he is very capable, coupled with his stingy temperament, he may be able to work as the general manager forever.

"Kong, is that true? I don't need to do anything, and I can become the general manager of the team next season?" After meeting Kong Bu, Junior Harris still couldn't help asking.

When his father told him about it, he felt it was extremely absurd. How could this be possible? !
But he has been in the league for so many years, and he also knows that Kong Bu never talks nonsense, as long as he says something, almost everything has come true.

"Yes, there is really nothing to do."

"But it's better to do something. After taking office, try to keep Ray Allen as much as possible, and don't trade him out easily."

"With Ray Allen here, just find some good lineup, at least you have the hope that you will be regulars in the playoffs."

"If there is no Ray Allen, it will be hard for you to say, and you may have to compete for the No. [-] lottery every year."

Kong Bu opened his mouth and reminded.

Under normal circumstances, Ray Allen was sold to the Sonics in exchange for Payton.

As a result, Payton didn't work hard in the Bucks, forcing the Bucks to give up on him.

It is equivalent to saying that the bucks did not make a profit in this transaction, and the loss went to grandma's house.

As long as Harris Jr. doesn't sell Ray Allen, no matter how bad the Bucks are, they won't be that bad.

"Ah? I heard what the boss said. It seems that next season he is planning to play badly to compete for Yi Jianlian."

"His plan is to get rid of all the high-paid players in the team and rebuild completely."

Little Harris pursed his lips and said.

Kong Bu was taken aback, Yi Jianlian's temptation has reached such a high level?This season hasn't even started yet, yet there is a team thinking about doing a poor job for him next season?

Considering Yi Jianlian's current performance, it seems that he does have this qualification.

目前他在CBA中，场均数据已经不像是人类了，37分15篮板12助攻4抢断6盖帽，要知道这是个18岁孩子打出来的数据。

The last player who was raging in the CBA was Yao Ming. Even Yao Ming at that time was not as comprehensive as Yi Jianlian.

It seems that this kid has no shortcomings, whether it is offense, defense or rebounds, there are no dead ends, and he can even play any position on the court.

Play from position one to position five, and defend from position one to position five.

Even if he doesn't enter the league, the comment given by many scouts and experts is that he will become an all-round enhanced version of Kevin Garnett.

This evaluation is very exaggerated.

Garnett is already a super power forward in history. There are almost no power forwards stronger than him in terms of strength, but a child is actually rated as an enhanced version of Garnett.

Prior to this, many people had different views on the cornerstone of the team. For example, some people believed that the best cornerstone of the team should be a super heavyweight center like Ao Pang or Yao Ming.

Some people think that Kidd and Nash should be the masters.

After the UAE shines, people unify their caliber, and players like the UAE are the best cornerstones for team building.

At present, the teams have not yet received the exact news of whether the UAE will participate in the 2003 draft, but many teams are already ready to play poorly.

This is a big gamble, as long as the gamble wins, it will take off in place like the Spurs.

"I advise you to get rid of this thought. Even if the United Arab Emirates participates in the 2003 draft, it is unlikely to be won by your Bucks."

"As a team in the third largest market in the league, Chicago doesn't have a decent player in the team."

"Do you think Stern will let the United go to your Bucks?"

Kong Bu smiled helplessly. He had been in contact with Stern for so long, and he knew Stern's nature very well.

This man is an unscrupulous man, the envelope door is absolutely real, and Combe knows that Stern is now building up for Chicago's rise.

Little Harris looked weird. Can Combe say what he said?He wasn't afraid to be heard by Stern?
"But since your boss wants to show off, there's no need for us migrant workers to confront him."

Kong Bu said with a smile again.

Little Harris nodded repeatedly, and before saying goodbye to Kong Bu, he gave Kong Bu the gift he had prepared for a long time.

It's nothing more than red wine and cigars. Combe has received no idea how much he has received over the years.

In this game against the Bucks, the Philadelphia 76ers abused the opponent again.

Although the Bucks have Dalembert, the gap between him and Yao Ming is too obvious.

In this game, the Philadelphia 76ers are a complete team, and both Yao and Ai will play.

In the end, Yao Ming scored 47 points and 17 rebounds, while Iverson scored 29 points and 13 assists.

Not only Yao Ai, but also Reggie Miller continued to show off tonight against Ray Allen, scoring another 6 three-pointers.

By the end of this game, Reggie Miller's total three-pointers this season has reached 391. The Philadelphia 76ers still have five games in the regular season. In the next five games, Reggie Miller wants to break four three-pointers in a single season. One hundred, it is simply a breeze.

In the eyes of Reggie Miller before, it was absolutely unimaginable to break [-] with three points, because in his career for so many years, let alone [-], he never appeared in [-].

As long as he can successfully reach [-], Reggie Miller will become a three-point benchmark player at the cross-era level.

As the regular season gradually ends, the playoff teams in the Eastern Conference are almost determined now.

The top eight teams are Knicks, Philadelphia 76ers, Raptors, Pistons, Nets, Bucks, Pacers and Magic.

Because he lost a lot of goals in the regular season, it is rare for Comb to not rank first in the Eastern Conference this year.

But even so, the Philadelphia 76ers are still the number one favorite to win this season.
