NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Chapter 288
Originally, Comb thought that he would trade a rookie like Stoudemire for an accomplished star like Randolph, which would cause dissatisfaction among Philadelphia fans.

As a result, the Philadelphia fans didn't think so at all. What they thought was that Comb must have taken a fancy to Stoudemire's potential. Maybe Stoudemire's upper limit is much higher than that of Randolph.

You must know that Stoudemire is a high school student, three years younger than Randolph, and it is the first year of his rookie contract. If the potential is greater than Randolph's, then this deal is bloody money anyway.

In line with the absolute trust in Comb, no one in Philadelphia fans expressed dissatisfaction. On the contrary, they were full of expectations for Stoudemire's next performance.

Not only did the fans not react, but the boss also didn't say anything. Unknowingly, Comb has been coaching Philadelphia for more than two years.

For more than two years, the boss is the real shopkeeper. He is only responsible for collecting money at the end of each season, and doesn't care about anything else. Even Kumbu's salary is paid by himself.

So if there is no way to create a new army, it is actually not bad for Comb to stay in Philadelphia for the elderly.

"Huh? I was traded to Milwaukee?"

"What the hell kind of place is that? A Canadian city? Boss, why don't you think about it again. I really don't want to go to such a small place."

"How about you trade me to New York? Or Los Angeles and Chicago."

Randolph was a little dissatisfied knowing that he was traded to the Milwaukee Bucks.

Of course he knows where Milwaukee is, after all, he doesn't go to Milwaukee less often.

"Besides, you only want a rookie, which is an insult to me."

"Based on my performance in my rookie season, even if I can't change for Shaq and Yao Ming alone, at least I can change for the bus alone, right?"

Randolph is not only dissatisfied with the Bucks' destination, but also dissatisfied with the bargaining chips given by the Bucks.

Since it is a single exchange, doesn't that mean that his value is the same as Stoudemire's?He couldn't accept this reality anyway.

In fact, it’s like a player’s salary. Some players don’t care about salary very much, but they still have to ask for a maximum salary. The reason is that the maximum salary can represent a player’s identity and status. Super star.

"I think your mouth will kill you sooner or later."

"Wherever I send you to, just go honestly, can I still harm you?"

"The Bucks don't have a decent inside line at all, and their outside offense is biased towards shooting. With your rebounding ability, after you go to the Bucks, you can average [-] or [-] rebounds per game, which is easy."

"And you must still be the absolute core end point of the Bucks inside. An average of 20 points per game is guaranteed, and 25 points are possible."

"If you really don't want to go to the Bucks, I can call them right now and tell them to cancel this deal."

Combe frightened Tiehanhan Randolph a lot.

"No, I'm going to the Bucks, boss, I was only joking."

"New York is not as good as Milwaukee. If I go to New York, I probably have to be someone else's younger brother."

"Now I'm going to Milwaukee, and I'm the boss!"

"Ray Allen is not worthy to be my boss, I have a championship, what does he have?"

Randolph has an unusual desire for statistics. When he heard that he could score about 25 points and 14 rebounds in the Bucks, he immediately beamed with joy. He wished he could put on his wings and fly to Milwaukee now.

He didn't worry about the status of the team after joining the Bucks at all, because he felt that the Bucks seemed to be helping the poor. Ray Allen dared to throw face at himself?If I dare, I immediately force the team to choose between myself and Ray Allen.

……

Randolph left, Stoudemire came.

Yao Ming has a big head, and he doesn't like Stoudemire very much.

I have been working with Randolph, a naive partner before. Although Randolph sometimes can't speak his head, his character and Maitreya-like appearance are not annoying.

Stoudemire is different, his appearance is slightly sinister, and his mouth can't be idle, talking more bullshit than anyone else.

The Philadelphia 76ers next started their road trip.

The first away game was the Nuggets, who were last in the West, and won easily.

The current head of the Nuggets team is Uncle Huo. Apart from him, there is not a single decent player in the team.

After winning the Nuggets, Combe led his team to Phoenix non-stop.

After arriving in Phoenix, the newly traded Stoudemire also joined the team smoothly.

Comb is looking forward to playing against the Suns for no other reason. He wants to see the performance of the United Arab Emirates up close in the NBA, especially his performance against the Philadelphia 76ers.

The current record of the Suns is not particularly ideal. They have played four games, won two games and lost two games.

The data of the UAE in these four games is very good, but it is not so good that it is astonishing.

场均21分7篮板4助攻1.4抢断1.7盖帽。

Such a statistic is indeed worthy of his status as the No. [-] scholar, but it did not achieve the effect of shocking the world that Angie wanted.

He saw the performance of the UAE in the World Championships, and he was sure that after the UAE entered the NBA, he would lead the Suns to kill the Quartet, averaging not to mention 35 points per game, but at least 2.5 points per game. With a triple-double, even if the defensive data is not a double-three, at least a double-[-]!

"Why do you look gloomy? With such statistics in the rookie season, it is already amazing enough."

After Kumbu arrived in Phoenix, he called out Ah Lian and had a meal with Yao Ming.

"That's right, Ah Lian, this stat is not bad at all, don't demand too much of yourself." Yao Ming also said from the side.

Ah Lian shook his head, "The team's record is far from ideal, and my stats are not good either. At least they are far behind you and Big Zhi."

"I don't know where the problem is. I always feel that there is a feeling that I can't use my strength on the court."

"After a few games, I feel aggrieved!"

Ah Lian frowned and sighed.

Kong Bu nodded, he was too aware of what the problem with the United Arab Emirates was.

If he was in the Pistons where Grant Hill was, he would actually be able to play the dream data in Danny Ainge's mind.

It's a pity that this Suns team is completely different from that Pistons team.

The biggest difference is that the Suns have a point guard like Nash.

Now the UAE feels awkward playing, which is completely normal. His style of play requires a lot of possession of the ball, which conflicts with Nash.

To get out of this predicament, either the Suns sell Nash, or the UAE changes its style of play, or find a truly capable coach to create a set of tactics that are compatible with the UAE and Nash.

Kumbu is going to have a chat with Danny Ainge after tonight's game.

He wants the Suns to rise for many reasons.

The primary reason is that he doesn't want the Lakers to live too comfortably. He wants to create a strong enemy for the Lakers in the West.

Then he wanted the United Arab Emirates to grow more comfortably.

Combining these two reasons, Combe must help the Suns find a way.

……

The evening game has officially begun.

When the players of the home team came on the field and the UAE came out, the fans on the scene shouted wildly, cheering for the UAE.

Although the UAE is not satisfied with his performance, his statistics and performance are amazing enough for a rookie, at least the fans are very satisfied.

Speaking of which, the Suns haven't got a decent rookie inside player for many years, and now they finally got such a strong UAE, and they are full of expectations for the future.

The Suns team has never been short of point guards, and there was even a spectacular scene with three Hall of Fame point guards on the same team.

It's a pity that the point guard is the engine on the court. It is impossible to put three engines on the court, so the car doesn't know where to run, so three Hall of Fame point guards can't make the Suns a powerful team.

The UAE carries the expectations of everyone in the Suns.

Comb launched a very bold arrangement tonight, directly allowing Stoudemire to enter the starting four position.

In fact, in terms of strength, it is much more reasonable for Kongbu to play Boozer than to play Stoudemire.

Boozer has been specially trained under Comb for a long time, and now he has entered the peak period. His strength is not much better than that of Randolph. Even talking about his partner with Yao Ming, his effect is definitely better than Randolph. .

But Kongbu decided to go to Stoudemire to start. Taking advantage of the beginning of the season, he will have a good run-in with Yao Ming and Stoudemire.

"Dudududu!"

The referee blew the whistle to start the game, and the starters of both sides began to appear on the field.

Stoudemire steps up to the midfield line, ready to execute a jump ball.

Although Stoudemire is not as tall as Yao Ming, his jumping ability and wingspan are much better than Yao Ming, so he is a player more suitable for jumping the ball.

Ah Lian also came over.

The referee blew his whistle and threw the ball into the air.

Next, I saw Stoudemire and Ah Lian jumping up almost at the same time, and then Ah Lian won the jump ball with an obvious height advantage.

Stoudemire was very unwilling, "What's the use of jumping high? I will definitely blow you up tonight!"

"I should be the champion!"

"I will be the best striker in the league, you only deserve to sit in the audience and applaud me."

Ah Lian's face was full of question marks, why is he so unconvincing as the champion?Jay Williams, who played the Bulls two days ago and has not been sold by the Bulls, also said the same thing.

"Stop talking nonsense, trading you back with Randolph is not for you to talk big."

Iverson was not there, Yao Ming was the boss on the court, and he taught Stoudemire a few words.

Yao Ming said this not to favor the opponent Ah Lian, but because he really felt that Stoudemire talked too much bullshit.

Fortunately, Stoudemire still has a little insight, knowing which players on this team he can't afford to provoke, and after hearing Yao Ming's lesson, he quickly shut up.

However, his eyes were still fixed on Ah Lian, very unconvinced.

In the offensive round of the Suns, Ah Lian glanced at Stoudemire in front of him, and reached out to ask Nash for the ball in a very rare way.

Nash is not the kind of boss who dominates the ball. In the first few games, the UAE has never done any action of reaching out for the ball.

This time the UAE asked for the ball, and Nash passed it without saying a word.

Ah Lian held the ball and started pacing outside the three-point line. Just when Stoudemire thought he was going to shoot a three-pointer from the outside, Ah Lian moved violently. He rushed forward with a speed like a cheetah pouncing on its prey. It was very easy. Passed over from Xiao Si's side.

As if to play with Stoudemire, after passing Stoudemire, Ah Lian did not make a move, but waited for Stoudemire in the same place.

When Stoudemire fell into position again, Ah Lian directly started to play back.

Although the two are about the same age, their strength is not at the same level.

After binding Antetokounmpo's template, Ah Lian also gained the power of Antetokounmpo.

At his peak, Antetokounmpo's hip bridge load can reach 580 pounds, and even this may not be his limit, it is simply an animal in human skin.

The stronger the weight of the hip bridge, the stronger the waist strength, and the more dominant it is in back hits.

And Stoudemire is currently a rookie who is so pure that he can't be more pure. The two of them are tied together to exert force, and the load on the hip bridge may not reach 580 pounds.

Under the back of the United Arab Emirates, Stoudemire was very vulnerable.

Maybe Ah Lian takes one step forward, but he has to take two steps back.

When the top reached the periphery of the three-second zone, Ah Lian turned over and jumped up to make a mid-range shot, and the short-range mid-range shot was hollow into the net.

This ball was played with ease, and Ah Lian seemed to have destroyed Stoudemire's defense without any effort at all.

"This is the gap between the No. [-] pick and other rookies."

"By the way, what show are you on?"

After scoring the goal, Ah Lian taunted in his half-baked English.

Stoudemire's face was red, and he only played one round before he truly realized the gap between himself and Ah Lian.

This kind of gap is not the kind that can be caught up with hard work. Stoudemire even suspects that his opponent is not a rookie of the same class at all, but a tall version of Charles Oakley!
I don't know if it was because he was irritated by Stoudemire, or because Combe was standing on the sidelines. The UAE's "skin" became thicker tonight, and they reached out to Nash for the ball in various ways.

Nash also cooperated very well. As long as the UAE wanted the ball, he would immediately find an opportunity to pass it.

After the UAE got the ball, it was all kinds of singles Stoudemire.

Either use your speed advantage to pass Stoudemire's defense, or use your strength advantage to back up, or simply use your height and jumping advantage to pull directly.

Among them, the one with the highest accuracy is naturally the back shot. Facing the thin bamboo pole of Stoudemire with the strength of a monster, he can hit any shooting position that the United Arab Emirates wants. How can the hit rate be low.

Under the strong offensive of the United Arab Emirates, the Suns actually got a clear lead.

Danny Ainge on the sidelines kept applauding excitedly. He seemed to realize the reason why the UAE's performance did not meet expectations.

It's not that Ah Lian can't do it, but that he is too thin-skinned and embarrassed to play too alone on the field!
That was Stoudemire, who Kumbu traded for Randolph. The result was worse than paper in front of the Arab League. Angie had already made up his mind that some adjustments to the team's tactics must be made in the upcoming schedule.

Ah Lian must be allowed to fight alone!

Seeing Ah Lian's performance, Kong Bu nodded in satisfaction. This is the effect he should have after binding the Antetokounmpo template in his mind.
