NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Chapter 263 Yi Jianlian Participates in the Draft
The first two games of the second round of the playoffs were the home games of the Philadelphia 76ers, and they all won without any surprises.

Even a head coach with a dog-licking personality like Byron Scott became impatient on the sidelines, yelling at the players on the field from time to time.

Especially yelling at Kenyon Martin inside.

Kongbu felt sorry for Kenyon Martin in his heart. Facing the combination of Yao Ming and Randolph, what can he do.

Martin has always been known for his physical fitness. As a power forward, he can rush to the basket with the ball and dunk like a guard.

It seems that there is nothing wrong with saying that he is a dick version of Antetokounmpo.

But in the face of Yao Ming and Fatty Lan's super meat shield insider, how could he rush forward, let alone him as a dick Antetokounmpo, even if the real Antetokounmpo came, it would be impossible for him to have many chances to rush to the basket and dunk .

Kumbu has always felt that Antetokounmpo is one of the biggest beneficiaries of the small ball era. With his technical characteristics, if he is in the period when the four major centers are at full strength, can he still perform at the MVP level?Unlikely.

The biggest possibility is to become a power forward at the level of Sean Kemp.

After Combe and his team arrived in New Jersey, the annual regular season awards began again.

Kumbu failed to get the COY this year. After all, the record is not the first in the league, not even the first in the Eastern Conference.

However, he didn't get the best general manager of the year last season, but he got it this season. This is also the first time he has won the best manager of the year honor.

In terms of players, Randolph won the Rookie of the Year award.

他的数据其实并不比加索尔、理查德森或者巴蒂尔出色，本赛季场均14分8篮板2助攻的数据，比起加索尔的场均18分9篮板2.7助攻要差不少。

It's a pity that Gasol's team record is really bad, and Gasol is also regarded as the boss of the team. He has a lot more shots than Randolph, so the data content is not as high as Randolph.

Randolph is definitely the biggest surprise for Philadelphia fans this season.

This fat man has a very likable personality and is very cheap. The main reason is that he is strong enough to be cheap to his opponents on the field and at the same time perform well.

In fact, Parker also has a chance to win the best rookie. He took advantage of the two months when Iverson was injured, and his statistics were very good.

It's a pity that after Iverson came back, his personal data began to shrink rapidly. There is no way, Iverson can play at least 35 minutes per game, leaving only ten minutes for Parker. His data can be good. No wonder.

With an average of less than 10 points per game, it is obviously impossible to become the best rookie with such a statistic, even if his popularity is very high, especially among female fans.

Randolph, Gerrard, and Parker, who Combu bought this year, were all included in the rookie lineup. In addition, Dalembert, Okur, and Arenas, who were traded by Comb, also became part of the rookie lineup. member.

After the rookie honors, it's defense-related honors. This is the honor that Kumbu has been paying attention to the most since he traveled through five years.

The best defensive player was still taken by Big Ben.

Big Ben's performance this year is much better than last season, and the reason why the Pistons can play the fourth record in the Eastern Conference is due to Big Ben's contribution.

The five players on the defensive team are Big Ben, Duncan, Gerrard, Payton and Kidd.

Gerrard was able to be selected for the defensive team, which surprised Comb. He thought that Gerrard's boring personality might affect his votes.

Unexpectedly, he was not only selected, but also for a while. After all, the lineup selected by the head coach has high gold content.

The selection method of the best defensive team is doomed to the gold content of this honor.

Many other honors are selected by the media, and the best defensive team is the coach, and it has to be the head coach.

The head coach of each team provides the league with two defensive lineups in his mind, and there cannot be any players under his own hands.

Coaches are different from the media. The media likes players who are bluffing, while most coaches prefer players with a low-key personality, such as Big Ben, Duncan or Gerrard.

In terms of defensive strength, Garnett and Artest at the forward position are actually no worse than Gerrard. Unfortunately, the personalities of these two are not pleasing to the coach.

The next All-Defensive Team second team, center Uncle Mu, is no surprise.

Then there are three players at the forward position, namely Garnett, Kirilenko and Uncle Bao, and Kobe and Doug Christie at the guard.

This year's defense-related honors, the Philadelphia 76ers are very few, only two selected, Gerrard first team, Kirilenko second team, compared with the teams coached by Kumbu in previous years, it is really far behind.

This is something that can't be helped. Yao Ming's defense is not his strong point. In fact, no one expects him to be able to play the same level of performance on the offensive end and rebounding end on the defensive end.

If it is possible to type it out, Ao Pang will be the first to refuse, and then there will be no way for people to survive.

As for Randolph, after scaring Comb about his defense, his defense is actually pretty good. It can't reach the level of Garnett or Duncan, but at least it's not worse than Jermaine O'Neill.

It's a pity that this fat man's defensive data is too poor. This season, he averaged 0.7 blocks and 0.3 steals per game. Such a poor defensive data. If you don't look at the defensive advanced data, no one can say that he is good at defense.

Needless to say, Iverson and the old Reggie Miller, they mainly play an offensive role on the court.

When Combe coached the Raptors a few years ago, he could limit the opponent's scoring to less than 85 points per game, and his team averaged 102 points per game.

This season, the Philadelphia 76ers' opponents have averaged 96 points per game, while their own team's score is about the same, still 102 points.

With such a huge gap, everyone can see that the defense of this Philadelphia 76ers is really not very good.

But it's also comparable to anyone in terms of scoring. It can't compare to the Dynasty Raptors, and compared to other rotten fish and shrimp teams, it is definitely not a star.

After the defensive honors were awarded, Iverson let out a long sigh. He was a little upset. He was clearly the king of steals, so why didn't those head coaches even give him a defensive second team?
He is well aware of Comb's favor for defensive players, and he also knows that Comb has been a headache for the Philadelphia 76ers' defense, so he has worked very hard on defense this season.

It's a pity that his talent is limited. As high as his offensive talent is, his defensive talent is as bad. Even if he is desperate on the defensive end, from the perspective of advanced statistics, his defense is still not good.

Even if he won the steals king, no head coach would select him to the All-Defensive Team.

This situation is actually very rare. The steals king was not selected to the best defensive team. It actually happened once before Iverson. The steals king Kendall Gill in 99 was not selected to the best defensive team.

Iverson thought that he would not be treated the same as Jill, but in the end he was really like Jill.

He shook his head, turning his attention to the next honor.

Because he was absent for almost two months during the regular season, he must have missed the MVP, and now it depends on whether he can have a chance to be selected for the best team.

The best lineup, O'Neal, Big Zhi, Duncan, Kobe and Payton.

Kumbu was dumbfounded, what a joke, there was not even a single Philadelphia player this year.

This is very outrageous.

Two Lakers players, two Knicks players, and Duncan of the Spurs, the third team in the East.

After sighing in his heart, Kong Bu could only accept this reality.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with this result. Ao Pang is indeed better than Yao Ming at the moment, at least on the offensive and defensive ends.

Of course, there are preconditions for being strong on the offensive end. The precondition is that Ao Pang can't go to the free throw line too many times. Once he makes too many free throws, his offensive efficiency will drop sharply, so he is not as good as Yao Ming.

Ao Pang pressured Yao Ming to be selected for a round, and Kumbu could accept it.

As for the guards, Kobe and Payton were both selected, and Comb can accept it. After all, Iverson has been absent for two months this year. No matter what the reason is, he has missed two full months. Naturally, he cannot compete with the team record and individual The data also stand out for Kobe and Payton.

Big Zhi and Duncan at the forward position, and Combe can't fault it. The three forwards of the Philadelphia 76ers are Kirilenko, Randolph and Gerrard, and there is no comparison with these two.

Those two are super giants of the historical level, and the three forwards in my hand are not considered super giants in active service.

The next best second team, Yao Ming, Garnett, Nowitzki, Kidd and Iverson.

The two cores of the team were all selected for the second team, and Kumbu felt better.

When he saw the list of the third team, he couldn't help but sighed again.

Mutombo, Webber, Big Ben, Reggie Miller and Nash.

The roster of the three teams is rather strange, with two centers appearing in it, but this is not uncommon in the selection of the best team. In history, there have been six players on the roster for a while.

What Combe sighed was the Raptors, who didn't even make an All-NBA team this year.

Bus, Pierce and Carter, logically speaking, can also be selected for the best team. Unfortunately, the performance of the Raptors in the past two seasons has become more and more disappointing.

Unlike the selection of the best defensive team, the best team is selected by the media of Laomei and Canada. The dynasty Raptors of the previous years have been reduced to such a point that even the media cannot accept it.

After the end of this regular season awards, it actually officially announced the end of the Raptors Dynasty.

In fact, the fans of the Raptors dynasty are lucky enough. At least they can still see that the dynasty has played well for two years. The team immediately became the No. [-] pick team.

Next, the MVP with the highest gold content in the regular season was awarded to Big Zhi.

The regular season record ranks first in the league, with personal data averaging 27 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.9 blocks per game. Such data is a strong contender for MVP no matter which season it is in.

"Hey, what an unlucky season."

"The bad coach didn't even get the COY, damn it."

Iverson said angrily.

He is quite dissatisfied with the results of this season. The team almost didn't get any high-value honors, and even Combe didn't get the best coach of the year.

"My COY doesn't matter. I haven't heard of any coach who would regard COY as his own merit."

"The regular season is the regular season after all, it's just a foreshadowing on the way to the championship."

"Our real goal is the championship. So what if there are few honors in the regular season. Even if we don't have any honors, as long as we win the championship, we can still have the last laugh."

"Guys, come on, this year is my fifth year as a head coach and my fifth championship tour."

"Whether you can achieve five consecutive championships depends on you."

Kong Bu smiled at the generals present.

The generals were not in high spirits at first, but after Kong Bu said this, they immediately regained their spirits.

Kumbu is right, only by winning the championship can he have the last laugh!
The next two games of the second round of the playoffs will be played at home in New Jersey.

The Nets still couldn't resist the Philadelphia 76ers' terrifying inside offensive. They were beaten early in the fourth game or even halftime, and they were defeated.

In this case, Kidd showed his sense of powerlessness without offensive ability.

In the final analysis, the basketball game is still about scoring. Whoever scores the most wins. Kidd is perfect in other aspects, but he does not have explosive scoring power.

When the team is in a scoring drought, offensive stars like Kobe, Tracy McGrady and Iverson may be able to rely on strong personal firepower to lead the team from defeat to victory.

Kidd does not have this ability. He can be regarded as a king-level support. When the teammates he supports are not good, no matter how strong he is, it is useless.

After being eliminated, Kidd had a bitter face, and now he regrets coming to the East to suffer from this bird.

I stayed in the west well, why did I run to the devilish east when I was full.

The Knicks also had a series of victories. First, the Philadelphia 76ers eliminated the Raptors in one day. This year's Eastern Conference finals was again against the Knicks.

Last season, the two teams played a tiebreaker. This season, Knicks fans feel that their home team has considerable hopes of winning the championship.

Even this may be the Knicks' last hope of winning the championship in recent years.

Because Uncle Mu's contract is about to end, unless he is willing to cut his salary and stay in the Knicks, the Knicks can't keep him.

Without Uncle Mu, the Knicks' combat power would be severely damaged.

The point is that it's not just Uncle Mu who is about to lose, and Houston's contract is about to expire.

If there is no way to win the championship this year, the Knicks will lose their ability to compete for the championship unless they are lucky enough to select a super talented new star in the next few years.

Just when Combe was seriously preparing for the game against the Knicks, he received a call from China.

The call was from Yi Jianlian, who probably got Kong Bu's phone number from Lao Wang.

On the phone, Ah Lian said a piece of news that made Comb feel horrified. Stern contacted Ah Lian through some unknown channel and encouraged him to participate in the next draft in 2002!
Kung Bu was speechless. You must know that the United Arab Emirates just turned 2002 in 18. This age meets the conditions for participating in the draft?
Now Comb completely doesn't understand Stern's purpose.
