NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Chapter 305 New Mission "Fools Have Stupid Blessings"

The West won, and the UAE's statistics were good enough. Naturally, the AMVP was easily won by the UAE.

It is very difficult to be selected as an All-Star in his rookie season. After the merger of the NBA and the ABA, there are only 10 people so far.

Each of these ten people is a leading figure in their respective eras, such as the 84 double star Jordan and Dameng, the black and white duo Bird and Magician, the four major centers O'Pang and Admiral, and the most powerful forward Deng Deng in history. Dazed, in addition to these seven people, the remaining three are Yao Ming, Hill and the 83 champion Sampson.

Among the 10 players, there are 7 No. 2 picks and [-] No. [-] picks. The lowest pick is Bird's No. [-] pick. From this perspective, the pick is very important.

It is an honor in itself for the United Arab Emirates to join the ranks of this group of people.

What's more, the UAE is still the starter and won the mvp, which is even more incredible.

Speaking of which, Ah Lian has a close relationship with the All-Stars. Under normal circumstances, he entered the league in 07. In the All-Star voting for his rookie season, the U.S. ranked among the top three forwards in the Eastern Conference, ahead of him. The most popular are James and Garnett. People like Oban, Wade, and Bosh don't even have as many votes as the United Arab Emirates.

If you continue to vote, with the huge base of Chinese fans, it will not be a problem at all to vote UAE as the All-Star starter.

The league must not sit idly by. You must know that the Arab League averaged only eight points per game in the rookie season. If the All-Star starts, the All-Star Game level will be pulled down. It is not a good thing for the league or for the Arab League.

Averaging 8 points per game and becoming an All-Star starter, the UAE must be scolded.

So the league simply took action and revised the rules. Fans voted for 50%, and the other half was voted by the media.

Later, this rule was also dubbed the Yi Jianlian Clause.

Now that Kongbu has traveled across the country, this clause has not been born, and it is still completely voted by fans.

……

After the All-Star game, the door to the trading market will be closed a week later, and the lineups of each team can be regarded as completely stabilized, and there will hardly be any major changes.

More than half of the regular season schedule has been played, and the Philadelphia 76ers are still ranked first in the league, with the best record in the league and no opponents at all.

Time flies, and it is mid-April, the regular season is over, and the playoffs are officially here.

This is Comb's last season with the Philadelphia 76ers, and it is also the last championship of his six-time double dynasty. Once this championship is won, he will become the only six-time coach among active coaches.

In the first round of the playoffs, the opponent of the Philadelphia 76ers is the Orlando Magic led by Tracy McGrady.

It has been more than three years since McGrady joined the Magic. During these three years, McGrady has won two scoring titles. Unfortunately, his personal data is overwhelming, but the team's record has been half-dead.

Being able to enter the playoffs is considered a kind of luck for the Magic.

No way, Grant Hill in the team has been unable to play, which means that the Magic has one less top-paid star than other teams, and it is not bad to be able to make the playoffs.

If Hill's salary is saved and an All-Star insider is signed, the Magic will certainly not be just eighth in the Eastern Conference.

"Doug, we are really destined to meet again in the first round of the All-Star."

After seeing Magic coach Doc Rivers, Combe greeted with a smile.

"Fate? Kong, I don't want to have this kind of fate with you."

"Also, why do you call me Doc every time, my name is DOC, Doc, why do I always feel like you're calling me a dog?"

Rivers said with a sad face.

Meeting the Philadelphia 76ers in the first round is definitely a nightmare for their Magic.

It is definitely impossible to advance, and even winning a game is an extravagant hope.

McGrady's contract for next season is about to expire. Rivers is really afraid that this round of the series will discourage McGrady, and then forcefully ask the team to trade him.

If McGrady runs away, Rivers feels that he is not far from being fired by the team.

"Don't be so pessimistic, maybe you will win this round of the series?"

Combe patted Rivers on the shoulder and smiled.

Rivers began to scold the street in his heart, who wouldn't say sarcastic remarks, just that their Magic lineup wants the Philadelphia 76ers?
"By the way, the alliance's military expansion is imminent. Have you listed your protection list yet?"

"Why don't you let me breathe first, so I can prepare in advance?"

Combe asked again.

Rivers shook his head, "Kong, don't expect to get decent players from our Magic team."

"Even we don't need so many protection quotas. Right now, the only players with protection value in our team are Tracy McGrady and Drew Gooden. Others, you can take whoever you like."

"It's better to take Grant Hill away, so we can free up a lot of cap space to sign other stars."

When Rivers said this, he was just complaining, but after he finished speaking, his face suddenly changed.

Because he found an excellent plan to deal with the glass man Hill, that is, let the Charlotte new army choose Hill, so that they can free up salary space.

With salary space, you can sign a star, so you can keep McGrady by the way.

"Kong, you can take Hill away, and you can offer whatever conditions you want."

"We will give you both the first and second round picks in our hands, and we will also give you some cash compensation."

Rivers was like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw, staring at Combe with fiery eyes.

He wanted to slap himself twice, why didn't he think of this before?It seems that in today's league, the only team that can help them deal with Hill's contract is Combe's new Charlotte team.

"What international joke are you making?"

"Hill signed a seven-year contract with you at the time. His contract will end in 2007, and his annual salary will be as high as 1500 million U.S. dollars."

"Leaving aside the fact that this will take up our salary cap space, there is almost $6000 million left in his salary alone!"

"If I buy you a lottery with 6000 million dollars, it's not a first-round pick? Is your first-round pick studded with diamonds?"

"The diamonds are not worth the money, are they?"

Comb was left speechless by Rivers' whimsy, and he wondered if Rivers had taken himself for granted.

Fans often say that Garnett's high salary has harmed the Timberwolves, causing the Timberwolves to have no salary space for signings.

But Garnett at least has the strength to be able to contribute to the team.

Hill's side is going to die, not to mention the high salary, he has not played any normal season since he signed for so many years.

He came back for a while this season, played more than [-] games and was reimbursed for the season.

Sometimes Comb wondered whether Hill was injured on purpose, thinking of being lazy. After all, he signed a seven-year contract with the Magic. After this contract ends, he will almost enter the end of his career. It doesn't matter if you fight.

"Kong, Hill is still very strong. Even if he just came back this season, he can easily score 15 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists per game with [-]% shooting."

"You are a coach who can create miracles. I believe that Hill will definitely have a second life in your hands."

"Kong, I beg you, just help me. If you have any conditions or things you want, just tell me, and I will try my best to satisfy you."

If it weren't for tens of thousands of fans at the scene, Rivers might have to kneel down to Comb.

This favor is really too big. If it was a small favor, Kong Bu would help him if he wanted to, but now the 6000 million US dollars is in vain. Even if Kong Bu has money, he cannot be taken advantage of.

In addition, the Charlotte New Army is not a team of Combe alone. Even if Combe is willing, Jordan will definitely not agree.

"You can't even beg me!"

"You are begging me to give you 6000 million cash, which fool do you think can promise you?"

Kong Bu refused without saying a word. There is no need to continue talking about this kind of thing.

But as soon as he finished speaking, the system prompt sounded in his mind.

"Congratulations to the host, trigger the mission "Fools Have Stupid Blessings"."

"Mission Objective: Take Grant Hill through the military expansion draft."

"Mission reward: restore Grant Hill's physical fitness to its peak state, the three-point calibration device no longer has a time limit, and can bind any player until the end of the season."

Kong Bu looked confused, is this okay?
The unexpected task messed up Kong Bu's thoughts.

Hill’s value is very low in Kongbu’s eyes, not to mention that he has been playing basketball for three days, fishing for two days and drying the net for two days. Even if his body recovers, Kongbu is reluctant to spend 500 million yuan in annual salary on him. .

With 500 million, Kumbu can sign six or seven high-quality rookies.

In addition, Hill currently has a super short board, which is very unsuitable for the current basketball era, that is, he has no three-point ability at all.

As a small forward, it's completely acceptable to be close to three-pointers, but if you don't have the ability to make three-pointers at all, then it can't be justified.

It was a few years later that Hill became a member of the Suns before developing his three-point ability.

The task released by the system at the moment has almost no difficulty. As long as Kumbu selects Hill in the military expansion draft, this task will be considered complete.

The only difficulty may be how to negotiate with Jordan and get him to agree to choose Hill.

Jordan's vision for selecting candidates is indeed not very good, but he is not a fool. He will definitely not agree to Hill's choice that is obviously a loss to his grandma's family.

This requires Kumbu to play some tricks.

If the task reward is only to restore Hill's body to its peak condition, then Kumbu doesn't want Hill either.

With an annual salary of 500 million and no three-point ability, the key point is that he is still a super rich player who needs everyone on the team to play around him. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a good deal.

However, among the task rewards, there was also a reward for making the three-point calibration device lose the time limit, which made Kong Bu very excited.

It is completely possible to bind the three-point calibration device to him after winning Hill, so that his three-point shortcomings will be gone.

"Do you want it?"

"If you want, it seems that you don't make much money. After all, it's an annual salary of 1500 million."

"If you don't want it, it's a pity. It's hard to come across a system task. It seems like a loss if you don't do it."

Combe hesitated.

Rivers didn't know what Combe was thinking, he stood beside him, quietly waiting for Combe to continue speaking.

"Doug, it's not impossible for you to want me to be this fool."

"But you must show the greatest sincerity. In the 2003 draft, I need draft picks. The more the better."

"You have to know that I'm saying that I paid 6000 million US dollars in cash for you. It's not too much to ask you for a few more high-ranking picks, right?"

In the end, Combe decided to win Hill, and he may have some sympathy for Hill.

"Kong, are you serious?"

"Thank God, no, thank you, you are my God."

"The trading market is closed now, and the lottery has not yet started. I will try my best to trade."

"You can definitely trade a draft pick that satisfies you."

Rivers went crazy, Hill got rid of the hot potato, and then Combe left the Philadelphia 76ers. If they operate properly, they may even hope to win the championship.

The only troublesome thing is that the Magic don't have too many bargaining chips, so I don't know if they can get a draft pick that satisfies Comb.

Now I can't control so much, Rivers can only work as hard as possible.

……

After the game on the court started, the Philadelphia 76ers directly crushed the Magic away from home with an absolute crushing advantage.

The Magic's inside duo is Sean Kemp plus Drew Gooden.

Kemp hadn't retired yet, which Combe never expected. He thought Kemp had retired long ago.

But even if he didn't retire, Kemp is no different from an outsider now. He played 28 minutes on the court and scored 2 points and 2 rebounds on Yao Ming's head.

Drew Gooden is a young man, and he gave the bus a bad job tonight.

Not only the bus, Stoudemire also cleaned up Gooden after he came on the field.

The inside line was completely exploded, and the outside line did not have the slightest advantage.

Tonight McGrady encountered another attack from the Philadelphia 76ers' terrifying striker defense. Gerrard finished defending Prince, and these two outside gates made McGrady's defense miserable.

Medina's one-handed draw is indeed lethal, but it depends too much on the feel.

When he feels good, his dry pull can easily kill the game.

But if he doesn't feel good, he can easily lead the team to lose.

Starting from this year, the first round of the playoffs began to use the seven-game four-win system. After the Magic lost the first game, they did not organize a decent resistance in the next three games.

Even in the third game with the closest score, they lost to the Philadelphia 76ers by 13 points.

Although they were swept out by the Philadelphia 76ers, coach Rivers and team boss Tracy McGrady did not have much disappointment on their faces.

McGrady has already learned the news that Konbu is willing to take over Hill, and he is extremely grateful to Konbu in his heart.

He thought that Combe took Hill because of his own face. In order to make himself more comfortable in the Magic, Combe even did not hesitate to lose 6000 million US dollars.

Rivers has no intention of coaching the team this week, and has been contacting various parties to acquire draft picks.
