NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Chapter 303 Conspiracy theories about the new army
With 3 minutes left in the first quarter, Kongbu put Yao Mingna off the field and replaced Stoudemire.

Bus can definitely play the center position, and the bound Duncan template makes him, like Duncan, actually a center in the skin of a power forward.

Kong Bu’s plan is to allow Yao Ming, Daba and Stoudemire to share the playing time of positions 32 and [-]. The average playing time of each person is about [-] minutes, so that the playing time of the three players is sufficient, and they will not be too tired to cause fatigue. Increased risk of injury.

"Battle!"

"Battle!"

At the scene, a group of fans wearing the old Hornets uniforms yelled the name of the bus very strangely, which made Kongbu look confused.

This is the home court of the Hornets. Even if the bus played very well in the first quarter, it wouldn't make the fans cheer for the players of the visiting team, right?

The bus is also in a daze, he doesn't know what happened at all, his performance in the first quarter, under normal circumstances, shouldn't it be the fans booing himself?
Comb and Bus have not paid much attention to the news in the past two days. Regarding Bus being traded to the Philadelphia 76ers, there is actually a conspiracy theory circulating in the league.

When this season is over, Comb and Jordan come to Charlotte to create a new team. One of the other 29 teams in the league will count as one, and they will certainly not be able to escape the fate of being drafted for expansion.

A team can only protect a total of eight players, and the Philadelphia 76ers have quite a few valuable players right now.

After the bus is traded, it is of course a valuable player, and it must be protected in other teams.

But Daba is currently a top-paid player. If the Philadelphia 76ers want to protect him, it will be difficult for Yao Ming.

You must know that Yao Ming has reached the contract year after this season. The Philadelphia 76ers hold the team's draft. In order to show respect for Yao Ming, they have to renew their contract with Yao Ming in advance.

Iverson is also the top salary, and it is difficult for the Philadelphia 76ers to afford the maximum salary of Yao Ming, Daba and Iverson at the same time.

Even if he gritted his teeth and kept these three, what about the other players?For example, Gerrard, even if Gerrard only needs a decent mid-level contract, it is difficult for the Philadelphia 76ers to give it.

Therefore, the Philadelphia 76ers can only accommodate two maximum salaries at most, and must choose between Yao Ming, Daba and Iverson.

Will Yao Ming be given up?That's obviously impossible. Even if the owner of Philadelphia and the successor to the general manager position of Comb is a fool, he can't do anything to sell Yao Ming.

With Yao Ming, as long as Yao Ming remains healthy, he will be considered to have won half of the championship.

Will Iverson be waived?Obviously, it's unlikely. He is the soul of the Philadelphia team and the guarantee of the ball market. It is impossible for the Philadelphia management to sell Iverson because of a new bus.

So the only thing that may be abandoned is the bus.

At that time, the bus will definitely not be put on the protection list, and they may have to beg Kongbu to take the bus away.

It sounds unbelievable that a player like Daba has to beg the opponent to take it away, but in fact, in the history of military expansion drafts, this kind of thing has never happened.

For example, Peja Stojakovic, who is currently playing for the Kings, is one of the iconic figures of the 96 golden generation. He was still at his peak in 06, averaging 20 points per game with ease.

As a result, he was not protected in the expansion draft, and was taken directly by the rookie Hornets.

The main reason why he was not protected was that the contract was too big. The team felt that his contract was not cost-effective. With this salary, he could sign better players.

The bus will face the same situation at that time.

Some experts have analyzed the deal between Kongbu and the Raptors, and most people think that Kongbu may really be planning for the new army.

This news spread with nose and eyes, and it really sounds like that.

The native Charlotte Hornets fans learned the news from the news, and of course they were so happy that they rushed from Charlotte to New Orleans to cheer for the bus.

Especially seeing the explosive performance of the bus in the first quarter, how could they not be excited.

Although the history of the Hornets has a super insider like Mourning, after all, it has only been owned briefly. If this can firmly tie the bus to Charlotte, these fans feel that their good days are coming.

The game passed minute by minute, even if Yao Ming was not present, it would be easy for the bus to pick up a Magloire.

After the game, the bus played for 37 minutes and scored 55 points, 20 rebounds and 3 blocks. Although Yao Ming did not reach the goal of 55 to [-] points set by Yao Ming, the score of [-] points has far exceeded the goal of the bus. personal score record.

In addition, the data of 50+20 is definitely a historical level of data. You must know that Ao Pang's representative battle is only 60+20!

After playing against the Hornets, Combe led the team back to North Korea.

As soon as I got off the plane, I received a call from Jordan. Although this old guy is still a member of the Philadelphia 76ers roster, Combe hasn't seen him for a long time.

This time, he may have finished his work in Charlotte and rushed back to Philadelphia.

"Kong, everything is settled."

"I have almost recruited the staff. According to what you said, without recruiting the scout team, this aspect can save millions of dollars every year."

"The rest of the staff should be as few as possible, but the legal team and the medical team have found the best according to what you said."

Jordan appreciates Comb's idea of ​​building a team, that is, all the money is spent on the knife's edge, and the province should spend money to go to the bar by bicycle.

The legal team is very important. A team will inevitably encounter various lawsuits. Even if the team does not have it, it is normal for players to get into trouble, so this requires the best legal team.

The medical team is also very important. If you encounter a veterinary medical team like the Trail Blazers, any good player will have to be abolished.

In order to ensure that the medical team is reliable, Comb specially asked Jordan to go to Phoenix to invite a local team of medical experts.

Phoenix is ​​an aerospace city with excellent high-tech and medical care. The Suns enjoy this convenience, and the health of the team's players has always been good.

Even some glass people who were originally abolished, such as Grant Hill, can be revived after arriving in the Suns.

Combe didn't save the money that should be spent.

As for the money that should be saved, Combe did not want to spend a penny.

For example, Philadelphia currently has a department in charge of public welfare, which costs millions of dollars every year. When Combe first came to Philadelphia, he wanted to cancel this department.

As a result, the boss disagreed, saying that after this department was cancelled, the outside world would definitely think that Philadelphia is a team that lacks human touch.

The boss was willing to spend the money, so of course Kong Bu didn't say anything.

The New Army is his team, and Kumbu doesn't want to be taken advantage of. He doesn't have enough money to spend a lot of money on the old American turf.

As for being scolded for being impersonal and rich and unkind, Kong Bu didn't care at all. He couldn't stay in Laomei forever.

And for competitive sports clubs, the results speak for themselves.

Don't look at the fact that Charlotte fans have been boycotting the Hornets owner at that time. If the Hornets can also create a dynasty, let alone the Hornets owner QJ, no matter how bad he does, someone must help him.

"What about the new arena?" Kumbu asked curiously.

"It is estimated that the new season will not be used. We still have to play in the old arena for one season, and it should be able to be used next season."

"Kong, do you think we can make money by creating this new army? Don't we have to put money into it every year?"

When things came to a head, Jordan became a little less confident.

Kong Bu shook his head and smiled, "Don't worry, there is no possibility of losing money, it's just a question of how much you earn."

"Our expenditure for the new season may only be one-third of that of the New York Knicks. How could we lose money?"

"By the way, there is also our personal salary."

"In the new season, let's take whatever salary we want. For example, we all have an annual salary of one dollar."

"In this way, we can pay less taxes. If we take the team's dividends, we can save at least 20% of taxes."

Combe continued.

Jordan clapped his hands and applauded, "Kong, I found out that this guy doesn't do business, it's really a pity."

"You are a born businessman!"

"We all only take one dollar. If it gets out, the fans will think that we are selfless for the team. Who knows that we are doing it to avoid taxes?"

The two looked at each other and laughed.

"By the way, I was playing away in New Orleans yesterday, and their old Bass asked us about the history of the Hornets. Do we want to inherit the history of the Hornets?"

Combe suddenly remembered the conversation he had with old Bass yesterday.

"The history of the Hornets? They have a history of the Mao team, and they must not inherit it. After inheriting it, it will damage the glorious team history we have created."

"Okay, I think so too, then you can find time to make a phone call with Old Buss, push this matter away, let them keep the team history they typed out by themselves."

"There is also the matter of the team name. Since you don't want to inherit the history of the Hornets, then we should always choose a new team name for the team."

"How about the lynx?"

Combe asked casually.

He didn't bother to think of other team names, so he simply used the team name of the new army under normal circumstances.

It is said to be a lynx, but this is actually a domestic translation error. The more accurate name should be the American wildcat, because the lynx is another name for the lynx. This is an animal belonging to Eurasia, which is not found in America.

"Yes, when you hear this team name, you will think of wildness and speed, which is very suitable for the team name."

"Okay, let's make sure it's called Bobcat."

During the chat between the two, many things related to the new army have been decided.

……

Time flies, and the annual All-Star Weekend has arrived.

This year's All-Star Weekend, Kumbu got another chance to lead the team.

In the Philadelphia team, Yao Ming, Daba and Iverson were selected to the All-Star lineup. Yao Ming and Iverson were the All-Star starters, and Daba was a substitute.

There is no way for the coach to be a substitute, because he still has a big head of the New York Knicks on his head.

After the All-Star lineup from the Eastern Conference came out, Kong Bu was stunned.

Yao Ming, Big Ben, Brad Miller, these three are centers.

Daba, Big Zhi, Jermaine O, Mashburn, Pierce, Carter, these six are forwards.

Iverson, McGrady and Kidd, these three are guards.

In the 12-man Eastern Conference All-Star roster, there are actually 11 players who have been coached by Kumbu.

Kidd is a very special existence in the Eastern Conference lineup. He has not played a day under Combe, so he seems out of place with other players.

The lineup on the east side is full of topics, and the west side has caused a sensation.

The starting lineup is Oban, Duncan, Yi Jianlian, Kobe, Nash.

In his rookie season, the UAE was selected as an All-Star, and he was still a starter, squeezing out Garnett, who has been a resident starter for the past few years.

If it is in the past, Garnett was squeezed out of the starting lineup, even if he didn't say anything in public, he would definitely have to slap the opponent on the sidelines.

But this time he was quite indifferent, as if he had entered the sage mode, and he didn't express any dissatisfaction with Ah Lian.

The first reason why Garnett can accept this reality is that the Suns have a better record than their forest team, and the second reason is that Yi Jianlian's personal data is better than him.

Even in the current regular season MVP prediction list, the UAE has always been at the top of the list.

In this case, Garnett really has no reason to throw face at the United Arab Emirates.

Ao Pang lost several championships because of Kumbu's crossing, but he did not fail to gain benefits. For example, under normal circumstances, he had to serve as a substitute for Yao Ming in the All-Star Game this year.

And now that Yao Ming was sent to the East by Konbra, O'Pang kept his starting position.

In addition, under normal circumstances, Francis of the Rockets also got the qualification to start the Western Conference All-Star. Because of his care for Yao Ming, he won countless votes from Chinese fans.

It's a pity that now he has no chance to partner with Yao Ming, let alone start, and he didn't even enter the All-Star lineup.

"Kong, I won't play in a while, right?"

"Twelve people, all of you are your own people except me, what am I doing?"

Kidd looked at the Eastern Conference All-Stars beside him, and said to Combo with a wry smile.

Kong Bu quickly waved his hand, "No, if you don't play, the outside world will think we are bullying you."

"Not only do you have to play, but you have to play well after you play."

Kidd was speechless, his style of play was not suitable for an All-Star, how could he play well?
Bus and Carter still don't like each other. Others are saying hello to each other and chatting about the glorious history of the past, but these two people don't even look at each other.

Kong Bu didn't bother to mediate the relationship between the two. It wasn't a life-and-death enmity.

Bus has a weird personality, and Carter has an extreme personality. It is not so easy to mediate the relationship between the two.

Because Carter has the aura of the four major shooting guards, many fans ignore the extreme cases he has done.

For example, he hugged his head coach, that is, Sam Mitchell, a man with gold glasses who was an assistant coach under Comb before.

For example, passive play, and leaking one's own tactics to the opponent team.

It's no wonder that the Raptors will fight among themselves. These two personalities are really not suitable for staying on the same team.
