NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Early the next morning, Stern immediately punished Mason and Moko.

Moko was suspended for one game, and Mason was a bit harsh after all. He was suspended for three games.

Such a small number of suspended games made O'Pang crazy again. His original psychological expectation was that these two lunatics would be suspended for more than ten games!
Seeing that Ao Pang was going crazy again, Pat Riley could only continue to comfort him, vowing to cause trouble for Moko and Little Mason and make these two guys worse than death.

That being said, Riley actually knew what he could do to these two people.Nothing can be done.

Fortunately for Mason Jr., if his strength declines in the future and his trade value decreases, the Heat can buy him at a low price and torture him.

But Moko is different. After all, he is a direct player of Kongbu. Now when Riley thinks of Kongbu, he feels an inexplicable fear in his heart.

Kong Bu, who had just entered the league, was just air in his eyes. He didn't pay attention to Kong Bu at all.

After leading the Raptors dynasty, Kongbu was able to challenge Riley. He had a heated argument with Riley back then and the two sides ended up in a draw.

And now Kongbu is the mountain that Riley needs to look up to, and he is definitely not someone that Riley can mess with.

……

It didn’t take long for the Bobcats to play their second game of the season.

The opponent is the Atlanta Hawks.

After they selected Bogut in the draft, they attached great importance to Bogut and directly gave him a starting position.

Zaza Pachulia, who was originally the starting center for the Hawks, was placed at the starting fourth position.

Small forward Al Harrington, shooting guard Isolation Joe, and point guard Grandpa Lu.

This Hawks lineup is actually quite strong, but it is not without its problems. It lacks finishing ability on the inside and defensive ability on the outside. Kongbu has a hunch that this Hawks will be the top goalkeeper in the Eastern Conference playoffs, and may have to. worse.

In tonight's game, Kombu did not play Bosh and put him on the injured list.

The reason for doing this is entirely because Kongbu is worried that Bosh will be destroyed by Bogut or Zaza. With a team with such two dirty guys, no matter how careful you are, you can't be too careful.

Even if Bosh takes a rest, Kongbu still has three insiders, Big Ben, Hammer and David Lee, and Ilyasova can also play a guest role at the fourth position, so the insider is still enough.

David Lee is the starting power forward tonight, and he and Ben will start together tonight.

It's not that Kongbu doesn't care about David Lee's health, but David Lee is a floor player. Even if Zaza or Bogut want to step on David Lee, it won't be that easy.

Before the game started, Combs chatted with current Hawks coach Mike Woodson for a while.

Woodson also served as an assistant coach in Philadelphia for one year during Combu's Philadelphia dynasty. However, he was not recruited by Combu. He was a member of the Philadelphia coaching staff when Combu joined the 76ers.

Larry Brown walked away without his coaching staff, and Woodson stayed on, as did Billy King.

Although Woodson is considered Larry Brown's direct coach, Combu has always had a good impression of this assistant coach.

He is a very simple and low-key coach who is good at coaching defense. Many of the defensive tactics of the Philadelphia 76ers dynasty were trained by Woodson.

Later, he worked as an assistant coach with the Pistons for several years. It happened that the Hawks were recruiting a head coach this year, so he applied for the job.

When the Eagles asked him to be their head coach, they naturally valued his ability to coach defense.

Woodson and Thibodeau are recognized as the top defensive coaches in NBA history.

It's a pity that after Woodson arrived with the Hawks, he still faced the problem that all coaches will encounter to some extent.

He is indeed good at coaching defense, but none of the Hawks' three perimeter players are willing to focus on defense.

Grandpa Lu is not the kind of guy who depends on the coach's face now. He is the chairman of the players union and holds great power.

Joe Johnson is the leader of this Hawks. He enjoys the team's priority to fire. Since he can attack and score points, why should he regard himself as a blue-collar outside coolie?
As for Al Harrington, it's not that he doesn't want to defend, but he really doesn't have the ability. Let him score, but let him defend, but his physical fitness is not good.

When they signed Harrington, not many teams expected him to serve as a defensive player. With a height of 206 centimeters, the height and playing style of an outside player, he could not hold up the opponent's fourth position, nor could he keep up with the opponent's three. The speed of the position.

Facing such an outside lineup, Woodson was really in trouble, so he could only complain to his old acquaintance Kong Bufa.

"Kong, if I remember correctly, Tyronn Lu is your relative, right?"

"Both Joe and Al are players you selected back then. Can't you tell them for me? Let them focus more on the defensive end?"

Woodson sighed helplessly.

Kongbu couldn't laugh or cry. After all these years, there are still people in the league who believe that Tyronn Lue is his relative.

If you really want to say that, the chance that David Li is related to him seems to be greater. After all, there are many more people in China with the surname Li than with the surname Lu. It is inevitable that Kong Bu will be related to someone surnamed Li.

"Mike, it's not dark yet, why are you talking in your sleep?"

"I'm going to tell the three brothers to ask them to defend more? Do you think this is appropriate?"

"You don't have to worry about your coaching position. There are many teams in the league that want you. If it's not easy for the Hawks to lead you, then go to other teams next season."

"If it doesn't work out, it would be fine to come to our Bobcats as the head coach next season."

Combe said with a smile.

Woodson laughed awkwardly. He only thought that Kongbu was joking. Now that Kongbu is the owner of the Bobcats, how could he leave the Bobcats and become the coach of the Bobcats himself?What does Kongbu do?

Where did he know that Combs and Stern had already decided to divide the Nets.

"By the way, Mike, those two big guys on the field, please be honest tonight."

"Go tell them, if they dare to do anything to my players tonight, I can kill them."

As soon as Kongbu finished speaking, Woodson burst into laughter.

"Kong, you don't need to say this. You punished Zaza last season. How could he find trouble for himself?"

"As for our Andrew, you don't have to worry. He has the guts to do something evil to your players."

In the previous devil training camp, Bogut was bullied miserably, and the person who bullied him was the newcomers of the Bobcats, such as the Hammers, who always wanted to box with Bogut, and his old Maozi accent was intimidating. The force is too strong.

If tonight's game wasn't so special, as it was Bogut's career debut, he even wanted to fake an injury and abandon the game.

……

"Beep beep!" The referee blew his whistle, and the game officially started.

Bogut won the jump ball and the Eagles started to attack.

After Grandpa Lu took control of the ball and reached the frontcourt, he passed the ball to Joe who was single.

Now that Joe is alone, once the ball is in his hands, he will definitely not be able to get it out again.

In isolation, Joe smashed Iguodala's defense and pulled up a three-pointer, but failed to score.

A rebound appeared under the basket, and Big Ben got stuck crazy, stuck Bogut behind him, and then grabbed the rebound.

In the last game against Bogut, Ben was extremely frustrated. If Kongbu hadn't chatted with him after the game, Ben even thought he was getting old and was no longer a match for the young people at the basket.

Tonight was another match against a leading center among the younger generation, and Ben tried his best to regain his place.

He is indeed no match for Howard on the court, but dealing with Bogut is definitely a piece of cake for Zhang Fei.

Kombu's impression was that Bogut was blown away on the backboard in his first career game against Ben. Ben grabbed 18 rebounds, while Bogut only had 7 rebounds.

But this is not the biggest rebound gap between Bogut and Ben in his career. In 07, Ben played for the Bulls. When he faced Bogut, he scored 27 rebounds in a single game, while Bogut only had 6.

You must know that Ben, who was in the Bulls era, has gradually entered the late stage of his career. Even so, he can still beat Bogut on the backboard. You can imagine how big the gap between the two is.

In addition, Bogut bullied the Bobcats newcomers badly in the training camp, so he was naturally afraid of the Bobcats, which led to an even greater gap between the two tonight.

After Ben grabbed the defensive rebound, Chris Paul came to respond, and Ben passed the ball directly to Paul.

Next, Paul controlled the ball and advanced. Tyronn Lue seemed to be a clown in front of him. He reached out many times to steal, but unfortunately all failed, which looked a bit funny.

Grandpa Lu is the current chairman of the players' union, and Paul is destined to be the next chairman of the players' union. The matchup between the two makes Kongbu watch it with interest.

"Shh!"

Paul advanced to the frontcourt and broke through with a fake move. After shaking off Grandpa Lu, he shot directly from the mid-range shot and scored two points into the net.

To say how sudden Paul's change of speed is on this ball, it's not that bad. It's just a very simple-looking change of speed. In addition, the fake move is also very common, but it has the effect.

It was the Bucks' offensive round again, and Bogut reached out for the ball.

Even though he was afraid of the Bobcats, this game was his career debut after all, and he could still distinguish the importance of things. His desire for big data in his career debut outweighed his fear of the Bobcats.

Every NBA player has only one chance to make his debut. It's like a bride's virginity. Someone must care about it.

After receiving a pass from his teammate, Bogut rose up from the basket. He didn't think about dunking on his head, but thought about having a chance to shoot a basket after jumping up.

Since they all claim to be the Australian Duncan, how can they not be good at hitting the boards?

It's a pity that he doesn't have the speed of an animal like Howard, and Ben has not aged yet. He is still the most domineering basket defender in the league.

"boom!"

There was a loud bang, and Ben slapped Bogut directly.

Coincidentally, this hat just slapped the ball back into Bogut's arms.

After a brief moment of confusion, Bogut stepped up from the basket again, preparing for another one.

There was another loud noise, and Ben took action again, giving Bogut another big hat.

This time Bogut was not so lucky. The ball was slapped far away and was snatched by Bogut's teammate Harrington.

Harrington is not such a selfless player. After getting the ball, he raises his hand and takes a mid-range shot.

"boom!"

The sound of iron strikes came. The Eagles' outside accuracy was a bit bad tonight, and they struck iron one after another.

The Hawks had an opportunity for an offensive rebound in the frontcourt. This time Ben failed to block the position effectively, and Bogut collected the offensive rebound.

Bogut looked at Ben, who was frowning, and felt a little worried in his heart. Should he take the shot?
I have already been slapped twice in succession just now. It would be really ugly if I was slapped again.

However, the desire for big data in his debut continued to defeat the fear in his heart. Bogut did not think about going to the Big Ben this time, he just went for the dunks.

The next second, Ben showed him the horror of the most powerful force in NBA history. Bogut jumped up and was pushed back to the floor by Ben with the ball.

The moment the ball was released, it was blocked by Ben and then returned to Bogut's hands. Bogut was also pressed down.

The fans in the audience were dumbfounded, and the staff responsible for technical statistics on the technical stage on the sidelines were also dumbfounded.

In this Hawks offensive round, even though Bogut shot three times and looked like a clown, his statistics are really good.

The first time he was blocked, because after Ben blocked the shot, the ball was blocked in Bogut's hands, which meant that Bogut picked up a rebound in vain.

(If the ball after being blocked does not go out of bounds and is picked up by a player, it is considered a rebound. If it is picked up by a teammate of the blocking player, it is a defensive rebound. If it is picked up by the opponent, it is an offensive rebound.)
Then when he blocked the second shot, Harrington missed and Bogut grabbed another rebound.

Now for the third time, he was pushed down while dribbling the ball, and he had to be counted as a rebound.

This means that in this offensive round, even though Bogut was blocked three times, he actually grabbed three offensive rebounds.

What's even more outrageous is that because blocks are not counted in turnovers, it means that Bogut has no negative data in this offensive round, only three offensive rebounds and other benign data.

If fans who don’t watch the game know that Bogut grabbed three offensive rebounds in one offensive round, they will definitely think of it in their minds. Bogut blew up the ball on the rebound end, and then Bogut’s teammates were really not good enough and kept shooting. The miss gave Bogut the opportunity to grab so many offensive rebounds in a single round.

Now the ball is still in Bogut's hands, and he is a little impatient.

He simply stood up again, feeling that he would definitely be able to get in this time!
The next second, Big Ben's big hand slapped away his fantasy. This time, he couldn't even pick up the rebound. The ball was slapped near Paul, and Paul picked it up, and then led Iguodala and Granger. He ran to the frontcourt and completed the alley-oop.

Ben hit four shots in one round, which really shocked the audience.

For a moment, the fans at the scene didn't know whether to exaggerate Bogut's strength in blocking shots or scold Bogut for being too weak.

Ben has also performed the feat of three blocks in one round before. Not only Ben, three blocks in one round have occurred no less than ten times in NBA history.

But this scene of four hats in one round appeared for the first time, which really opened the eyes of the fans at the scene. (End of chapter)
