NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Chapter 290 Putting Pressure On Him Tonight
Angie is one of the three old foxes in the league. Of course, it is impossible to disrupt his plan because of a word from Kumbu.

"Kong, Michael is your starter, we are not qualified to enjoy this level of defender."

"I think that Caron Butler is pretty good. It just so happens that you don't seem to use him very much. Why don't you trade him to us?"

"Don't worry, I will never treat you badly, whether it's draft picks or players, you can just ask."

"Even if you want Steve, it's not impossible to discuss."

Angie even moved Nash out. He actually knew that Combe couldn't want Nash, because now that the Philadelphia team has Iverson and a beard, there is really no way to install another No. [-] player.

Generally speaking, a team only needs two point guards. Players in other positions can be flexibly arranged, and it doesn't hurt to have more.

The main reason is that shooting guards can often play small forwards, and power forwards can often play center forwards. It is very common to play two centers, two power forwards, or two shooting guards on the court.

But it is quite rare to play two point guards. There have been teams with two point guards in NBA history, including the Suns in the past few years. Unfortunately, the results were not ideal.

Two point guards, one starting and one on the bench, and the sky is the limit for an extremely marginal spare point guard to prevent the main point guard from being injured. It is too reckless for Nash to be such a spare point guard.

"You said you wanted to be a shooting guard, so I stopped giving Manubai to the Bulls a few days ago."

"Unfortunately, you said it too late."

Kong Bu said with regret.

These words made Danny Angie's heart feel like being run over by a truck. Yeah, why didn't I contact Kumbu earlier?
If Kumbu had been contacted earlier, perhaps the young FMVP would have been a member of their Suns.

The more Angie thought about it, the more angry he became, and he also heard that Combe was definitely unwilling to trade Caron Butler, so he could only leave with a sigh.

Ah Lian and Yao Ming chatted for a long time on the court, seeing that Kong Bu and Anji did not continue their chat, Ah Lian hurried over.

"You played well. If you can play at this level every night, you probably have a good chance of winning this year's regular season MVP."

Kong Bu patted Ah Lian on the shoulder and said with satisfaction.

Looking at the Arab League on the field, Kong Bu felt a sense of accomplishment spontaneously in his heart. This is a player he started training a few years earlier, and he has already dominated the field as soon as he entered the league.

"I feel good today, and the opponent is only a high school student, so I played a little smoother."

Ah Lian was very humble, scratching his head and laughing foolishly.

Angie was standing not far away, seeing Ah Lian scratching his head and laughing innocently, he was so angry that his teeth itched. Why did this kid never work when he talked to him? He even asked the team doctor to check Ah Lian to see if there was something wrong with his laughing nerves. question.

"You don't need to be so humble, you have to know that you are not yet 19 years old, and you are actually a high school student."

"Are you still used to living in the team?"

Kumbu thought of Ah Lian's age at the moment, and he couldn't help but start to worry about Ah Lian's off-field life.

Because of himself and Stern, Ah Lian entered the NBA five years earlier than normal. Right now, Ah Lian looks immature and looks younger than Stoudemire.

Kong Bu worried that Ah Lian would not be able to handle his daily life well.

"It's okay, except for a little unaccustomed to eating, everything else is fine."

The United Arab Emirates is fairly satisfied with life in Phoenix.

"Not used to eating? Then tell your general manager quickly."

"You don't have to have any psychological burden. It is the job of the general manager to serve the players well, especially the core cornerstone and future hope of the team."

"Don't talk about diet, even if you say that the toilet paper in the training ground toilet is too hard, Angie will have to change it for you to soft one overnight."

"You may not know your worth right now."

"Let's put it this way, the value of you will be higher than that of Yao Ming, Big Zhi and Daba in the future."

"You and Boss Sun's son fell into the water at the same time, the boss may have to save you first, that's just an exaggeration!"

"So don't have any scruples, just ask what should be asked."

Of course, Kumbu didn't want the UAE to suffer any grievances in the Suns, so he exaggerated some of his value.

But it's not exaggerating too much. His style of play is destined to have a much higher commercial value than inside players.

The current UAE has a feeling of combining LeBron James and Durant. As long as the team's record can improve, his commercial value can be imagined.

After chatting with Ah Lian for a while, Kong Bu led the team back to the locker room satisfied.

Stoudemire looked sad, and he knew he was in trouble.

Facing the United Arab Emirates, what he played on the field was completely a side effect. After Boozer came on the court, although he did not defend the United Arab Emirates, at least he was useful, reducing the shooting percentage and rebounding efficiency of the United Arab Emirates. Some, and Boozer scored some points himself.

If you compare goods, you have to throw them away, and if you compare people, you have to die. Stoudemire is now half-legged into the grave.

After returning to the locker room, Boozer followed closely behind Yao Ming, like a guard with a knife.

He is now extremely grateful to Yao Ming. When Stoudemire was on the court, he hardly got any help from Yao Ming. After he came on the court, Yao Ming helped him pick and roll, block and grab rebounds for him. Not to mention foster father, dear Dad is nothing more than that.

Kongbu decided to take advantage of this opportunity to freeze Stoudemire for a month, just in time for him to improve his strength through training.

No way, Stoudemire's current strength is indeed a bit weak, incomparable with Boozer.

In this case, if Stoudemire insists on letting Stoudemire start, it is not what a qualified head coach should do.

Early the next morning, after Kong Bu entered the office, he habitually made himself a cup of chrysanthemum tea, then lay down on the chair happily and read the newspaper.

The headline of the newspaper is naturally the horrific data of the UAE last night, a 50+ super triple-double, and this is only the fifth game of the UAE's career. It is really a bit against the sky, and it must be in the headlines.

Ah Lian made the headlines, not at all what Kong Bu expected. He watched the report carefully, and at the end of the report, a discordant scene suddenly appeared.

The Clippers also had a game last night. Their opponent was the New York Knicks. They lost badly that night, especially when the Knicks completely overwhelmed the inside.

At the Clippers' post-match press conference, Melvin Eli was told by reporters that the United Arab Emirates had a 50+ super triple-double half an hour ago.

"I don't think he really has this ability. It's very likely that Kumbu is deliberately releasing water."

"We all know that Combe likes to do this kind of thing the most, letting players brush up their statistics. Yi is Combu's player. Even Danny Ainge can't deny this."

"Next time if I run into Yi, I will definitely teach this young man a lesson."

Kong Bu scratched his head and thought for a while, but he couldn't figure out who this Eli was and why he could say such arrogant words.

And why did he get himself involved again? This is considered a person sitting at home, and the pot comes from the sky.

The current general manager of the Clippers is still Elgin Baylor, and the head coach is Gentry.

Comb wondered if Eli was Gentry's assistant coach, who was instructed by Gentry to deliberately disgust himself.

But after thinking about it, it doesn't seem to be the case. How can an assistant teach the UAE on the court?It doesn't make sense at all.

Comb simply asked Brian Hill to bring over the Clippers' roster, just as their opponent in Philadelphia's next game was the Clippers.

After glancing at the Clippers roster, Kumbu couldn't laugh or cry.

This Eli turned out to be a player.

And he's not a fringe drinking fountain watcher, he turned out to be the No. 12 pick in this draft, the new lottery pick center of the Clippers!

Even a fan as senior as Kumbu didn't think of this lottery show just now, which shows how insignificant this guy is in the NBA.

As for Eli, Kumbu can only vaguely remember that he seemed to have participated in the 2001 Universiade held in China, and then played against Yao Ming on the field.

That's right, Yao Ming played in the World University Games.

But Yao Ming entered the NBA early, of course he will not participate in this kind of competition, and he is not a student now, so he does not have the qualifications.

Kong Bu remembered that Ah Lian should go to play, but he didn't pay much attention to how he played.

In addition to the Universiade, Eli was also a role in the Bobcats' military expansion draft. The Clippers did not protect him.

This is a great shame for a young man.

The rookie contract is extremely cheap, and he was selected by the Clippers with a lottery pick. As a result, the Clippers did not protect him, which shows how low his value is in the Clippers' mind.

Kumbu didn't know why Eli suddenly ran out to play the big head, maybe he was instructed by Gentry, or maybe he was just simply unhappy with the Arab League.

It is likely that he was taught a lesson by the Universiade in the Universiade, and later participated in the draft at the same time, and was overwhelmed by the Universiade, and felt jealous in his heart. This is entirely possible.

Anyway, this guy is already on Comb's blacklist.

"Coach, do you read the newspaper?"

"What is that Eli, who has a problem with you?"

The next evening, before the game against the Clippers, Yao Ming leaned over to Kongbu and handed him a newspaper.

If he hadn't read the newspapers, he would not have known that there was such a number one figure in the league.

"If it weren't for this, I wouldn't even know this person."

Kong Bu said angrily.

"That's easy, I'll put pressure on him tonight."

"It seems to be a center forward. Let's see how many moves he can make under my hands tonight."

Yao Ming's words are destined to make Eli have no good fruit tonight.

After the game started, players from both sides entered the field. Yao Ming watched the field for a long time, but he didn't see any player with Eli written on his jersey.

He walked right up to Brand, "Dude, where's that Eli on your team?"

During the All-Star Weekend last season, he and Brand kept in touch with each other, and they would also say hello during the holidays. They are not considered friends, but acquaintances.

Both are the No. [-] picks in the draft, and they still have some common topics.

"Over there, Yao, are you going to help Kong deal with him?"

Brand laughed. He was at the press conference two days ago, and Eli sat next to him and said those words.

After the press conference was over, Brand thought hard all night, but he still couldn't figure out why Eli was going crazy.

Although he is a newcomer, he shouldn't be the kind of savage who lives in seclusion in the deep mountains and old forests, right?Did he not know the terror of Combe? !

This guy doesn't think that a small lottery show has the capital to shout five or six in front of Kongbu, right?

Not to mention that he is a lottery pick, the insider twin towers of the Clippers are all top picks, one is him Brand, and the other is parallel importer Olowokandi.

Not to mention criticizing Kongbu at the press conference, even criticizing Kongbu behind his back, they didn't have the courage.

Because no one knows if the wall has ears, and if it reaches Kumbu's ears, the scene will become very ugly.

"That's right, I'm going to deal with this kid."

"I thought he was your starter, but he wasn't even the starter. What a disappointment."

Yao Ming shook his head and said regretfully.

The Clippers' current starting center is Olowokandi, and Eli has to substitute for this parallel importer.

Elgin Baylor's selection of center in the draft was a disaster.

He has an inexplicable desire for center players. No one knows why he desires center players so much.

Brand was still traded from the Bulls, and Brand is not a center.

Kimbelle's vision in the draft is almost inversely proportional to that of Konbu. As good as Konbu's draft is, Kimbelle is just as bad.

"Please take care of yourself, this young man really should repair it, or it's really a bit too arrogant."

"Can you believe it? On his first training day with the team, he asked Michael to buy him a drink."

The Michael in Brand's mouth is not Jordan, but Olowokandi.

Although it is a parallel import, but at any rate, his qualifications are there. He is an absolute veteran of the Clippers. A new melon has just joined the team and has no respect for the veteran. Brand has no affection for Eli at all.

Soon the match on the field began, and no surprise, it was another one-sided massacre.

The Clippers' lineup is actually not bad this year. The five starters are Olowokandi, Brand, Odom, Corey Maggette and Andre Miller.

At first glance, this lineup can be regarded as having a nose and eyes, and the five starters are all well-known.

It's a pity that there is an indescribably weird feeling when looking at it, and it looks very uncoordinated.

Both Yao Ming and Beard have formed an absolute matchup advantage, which is the main reason why the Philadelphia 76ers can play a crushing advantage.

Maggette was once a favorite of Combe, but after being traded, he gradually started wandering in the past two years.

In three years, three teams have been changed.

He is facing a long-armed spider monster like Prince, and he definitely can't shoot. If he breaks through, he can't go to the basket, because there are too many big fleshy lumps under the basket, and there is no place to plug in.

Brand has no advantage against Boozer at all. Both of them are representatives of ground-breaking insiders. People are almost divided.

But Boozer's golf quotient is obviously much higher than that of Brand, and the cooperation between him and Yao Ming is quite exquisite.

Olowokandi suffered an old crime and was brutalized by Yao Ming under the basket, until he lost his temper completely.
