NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

With the draft and trade over, the Nets' core lineup for the new season has almost taken shape.

The inside duo is Garnett plus Ade.

Artest is at the small forward position, and Millsap serves as a backup forward at the third or fourth position.

The shooting guard is Roy. Currently, Kongbu only has one shooting guard, Roy. He will definitely have to find another shooting guard as a substitute in the future.

The point guard is Rondo plus Jose Barea. Kongbu is quite satisfied with the configuration at the first position. There will be no need to make changes for at least three or four years.

When Kongbu formed this Nets lineup, he actually wanted to compete with the Green Kai Big Four lineup.

Garnett and Rondo have already been acquired, but Pierce and Ray Allen are still missing.

If Artest was an emotionally stable player, he would actually be no worse than Pierce in his peak period, because both of them played the small forward position, so they faced off a lot.

Fans should be more impressed by the 03 Eastern Conference playoffs, when the Pacers faced the Green Kai.

Although the Celtics defeated the Pacers 4:2 in the end, and Pierce also scored the highest average of 25.8 points per game between the two teams in this series, Pierce was actually locked up by Artest, and his field goal percentage per game was only 38 points. Only 30%, and the shooting rate was less than [-]% in two of the six games.

Take the first game of the series as an example. Pierce shot 33% from the field, but he relied on 21 free throws to score 40 points in a single game.

If you can get 20+ free throws in a single game in the playoffs, everyone knows that either Stern or the referee must have tampered with it.

Pierce is worse than Artest in his offensive ability, but his defensive ability is not as good as Artest. As for other abilities, they are about the same. His rebounding and passing and controlling abilities are almost at the same level.

Of course, Pierce's mood is stable and there will be no crimes that shouldn't occur on the court. This is much better than Artest.

Sometimes, the gap between ordinary stars and first-class stars is definitely just this little difference. If Pierce is emotionally stable and doesn't make mistakes, then he is a first-class star, while Artest can only be a subpar star.

As for Ray Allen, Kongbu feels that Roy will not suffer at all against Junzijian. At his peak, Ray Allen was known as the first shooting guard outside the four major shooting guards, and at his peak, Roy was definitely one of the top four shooting guards. With the strength of a big shooting guard, even Roy had never reached his peak. He was seriously injured and died not long after his rookie contract ended.

Kongbu felt that the four men in his hands would not suffer at all against the Big Four of Green Kai. Their offense was not as good as theirs, but their defense was definitely much better than theirs.

In addition to Garnett, the Green Kai team also had a big guy and a second big man, and Kongbu was Adelaide. So Adelaide is definitely much better. The big fat guy and the second fat guy together are not as good as Ade. People are of high value.

Ade is such a low-key player that when fans choose the top power forward in NBA history, they usually don't think of him.

In fact, Adelaide's career is quite successful. King Chris Webber is often rated as one of the top five forwards in history. However, Webber's honors throughout his career are almost the same as Adelaide's. The number of All-Stars is similar, and the core honors are selected to the top. The best lineup is five times.

From this point of view, Kongbu feels that his lineup is quite good. Even if the depth and strength of the bench are not as good as that of the Green Kai, the overall combat power will not be much worse than that of the Green Kai.

After returning to New Jersey, Kongbu found Thomas Sr., and the two cleaned up the Nets' management. Some bloated departments were laid off in half, and then the team's scouting department was abolished. The team with Kongbu , the existence of the scouting department is a complete waste.

After streamlining the team's management, Kongbu and Lao Deng calculated that they can reduce expenditures by at least US$800 million per year.

"How about it? It's not a loss if you sign me, right? I pay 400 million US dollars a year, but I can save you 800 million US dollars a year!"

Lao Deng said with a proud look on his face.

"Huh? What does it have to do with you? It's like I won't lay off employees if you don't come."

Kong Bu said angrily.

"It has nothing to do with me? Are you going to do this kind of offending work? Don't I have to step in?"

"By the way, there's one more thing I need to tell you in advance."

"In the future, you'd better leave the team's player management to me. This team has a lot of thorns. If you step in to deal with them, it will easily cause internal conflicts."

"It's different if I come forward to sanction them. It doesn't matter if they hate me, as long as they have a good enough relationship with you."

Old Thomas patted his chest and said.

Kongbu was dumbfounded. He finally understood why Lao Deng was so successful in seizing power in every team. He really knew how to fight for his own rights.

When he was with the Raptors, he was the vice president, but he replaced the general manager Silun.

When he was with the Knicks, he was the head coach at first, and then in less than a season, he got rid of the general manager and became the general manager himself.

However, Thomas Sr.'s words do make sense. The Nets currently have too many problems with their lineup.

Needless to say, Artest is a super thorn.

Rondona is also the best among thorns.

Because Garnett is a superstar, not many people notice his pricks. In fact, he is also an old prick, and it is common for him to hit his teammates.

Roy and Ade were good boys, but just because they were good boys, Kong Bu was worried that they would be bullied by the three old pricks.

It's strange to say that the Trail Blazers team is known as the Portland Prison Team, but the new players they have drafted since 2005 seem to be all good boys.

After Ade and Roy, Oden, the No. [-] pick next season, looks like a wild orangutan, but he is also a good boy.

As for Millsap on the bench, Combe is not too worried. He is a very shrewd young man, even cunning. He definitely knows how to protect himself.

"Okay, I'll leave the daily management of the players to you, but don't be too high-pressure."

"I'm doing this for your own good. Think about how many people you have offended in this league. Not counting the current players, just the management and coaches of each team, there are about two to three hundred people. At least Are you half offended?"

Upon hearing what Kong Bu said, Lao Deng was immediately unhappy.

"Have I offended many people? How did these words come out of your mouth?"

"You don't even look at how many people you have offended. If you weren't too tough, I'm telling you, if you can stay in the NBA for one more day, I will lose." Kongbu was speechless and waved his hands. : "I'm too lazy to argue with you about this. Recently you helped me invite some coaches for interviews. I need to enrich my coaching staff."

"It's really a headache. If you change a team, you have to start from scratch and recruit a new coaching staff."

Kongbu was on the Bobcats' coaching staff. He originally wanted to bring him to the Nets, but Jordan refused to give him anything and asked Kongbu to recruit again.

"Do you even need to say this? I have already prepared for it and have arranged interviews in the past few days."

"You just go about your business. I will do the work of the coaching staff. Just wait for me to prepare a perfect coaching staff."

Kong Bu nodded. It seemed that the 400 million annual salary he spent on Lao Deng was not in vain. He could indeed help him deal with a lot of troublesome tasks.

Combs will be settling in New Jersey for at least the next year.

He had already sold his property in Charlotte, and the buyer was none other than his old neighbor Jordan. He may have been eyeing the tomatoes in the yard and bought the house directly.

Kongbu doesn't plan to buy real estate in New Jersey. After all, he won't stay here for long.

At noon the next day, Kongbu thought for a long time and decided to call the domestic basketball management center.

Kongbu wants to take a break this year and not lead the team in the World Championships.

If he leads the team to the World Championships, it will take at least two months, and Kongbu will not have time to spare.

The Basketball Management Center was also very happy. After asking Kong Bu's opinion, it was decided that Gong Luming would take over Kong Bu's position and serve as the head coach of this World Championship.

After the news of Kongbu resigning as the head coach of the Chinese Men's Basketball Team was made public, fans can completely understand it. After all, Kongbu had just acquired the Nets. This is a well-known thing. He can't be allowed to leave the Nets' mess alone, right?

In addition, the Chinese men's basketball team has dominated the world basketball world for too long. Even if Kongbu does not lead the team, fans think the record will not be too bad.

And this is just the World Championships, not the Olympics, and the attention is not high, so it doesn't matter even if the record is close.

The Football World Cup attracts more attention than the Olympic football event. Although the Basketball World Championship has the same nature as the World Cup and was later renamed the Men's Basketball World Cup, the level of attention is not at the same level as the Olympic men's basketball event.

It is precisely because of this that Kongbu can easily resign. If it is the Olympic Games, even if Kongbu wants to resign, the basketball management center will definitely not agree.

After Kongbu resigned, the Basketball Management Center made several announcements one after another. In order to train new players and prepare for the next 2008 Olympic Games, new troops will be used in this Men's Basketball World Championship.

Yao Ming has been injured all the time, no major injuries, but minor injuries. It is normal for him to withdraw from the men's basketball lineup, and fans can understand.

Dazhi had just led his team to the Eastern Conference Finals, and the Arab League and Daba had just finished the finals. It was impossible for them to come to the World Championships training camp without giving them any breathing space, so these three people did not participate in the World Championships. Fans I can understand that too.

However, Moko, the top pick of the Bucks, participated in this World Championship. He is a newcomer. It is extremely suitable for him to lead the young players of the Tianchao Men's Basketball Team to compete in the World Championship.

The starting point of the Basketball Management Center is definitely good. The next step is the 2008 Capital Olympics. Now it is definitely a good thing to let young people play in the World Series and absorb the experience of the competition.

If Yao Ming, Daba or Dazhi are injured and unable to play, someone among the young people can step up.

But Kongbu's heart skipped a beat, and he secretly thought something bad had happened.

Training?Training for the World Championships?It's a shame they figured it out. They really don't know the level of the new generation of men's basketball players.

Moko is the No. [-] pick. He has played for the Bucks for a season, and his performance is actually better than Kongbu expected. At least he will not be called a parallel No. [-] pick.

In the season that just ended, Moko averaged 11 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists per game. This data has far exceeded Kongbu's expectations. Even Kongbu didn't know how Moko did it.

According to Kongbu's expectations, Moko may average about 3 points and 2 rebounds per game in his rookie season. After all, his Rasheed Wallace template will not work in the NBA at all.

As a result, Moko really hit the mark. Even though this data is still very poor compared to the number one pick, it is at least not as thorough as it is.

The coach of the Bucks is Terry Stotts. He is not a serious player coach. Although he has participated in the draft, he has never landed in the NBA. He has played in low-level leagues and European leagues throughout his career.

In 1992, he went to the SuperSonics as a scout and later entered the coaching profession.

In 1998, the second year after Kongbu traveled through time, he became George Karl's assistant coach. Because Kongbu and Carl had a good relationship and often had meals together when playing home and away games, Kongbu and Stotts were also very familiar with each other.

After Stotts took over as Bucks coach, his biggest worry was how to make good use of Moko.

He had witnessed with his own eyes how Kong Bu gradually became the top coach in history, and his belief in Kong Bu almost reached the level of religious worship.

Moko couldn't play. He never thought it was because of Moko's dish, but because he didn't find a way to use Moko.

After all, Moko was the player that Kongbu was optimistic about at the beginning, and his performance was indeed outstanding when he played in the Olympics in the hands of Kongbu.

In the end, he really found a way to bring out Moko's combat power, and that was to let him play the third position in the organization.

Most of the players produced by China have first-hand passing ability, and Moko is no exception. After playing the third position, he needs to face much less physical confrontation, and his physical disadvantage is not so obvious.

And many times, because the opponent is shorter, Moko takes advantage of his height to get a lot of shooting opportunities.

In addition, the height advantage also has a broad passing vision.

The most important thing is that the thorns between Moko and Mason are notorious in the league, and many players are very afraid of them. There is really no need to conflict with these two evil stars in regular season situations. In some rounds, they can Put some water, just put some water.

Due to various reasons, Moko scored 11 points and 6 assists, which were acceptable data, but his shooting rate was a bit low, only 42%.

If Moko is counted as an inside player, his 42% shooting rate is a bit embarrassing, but if he is counted as a small forward, 42% shooting rate is not unacceptable, at least it is not that embarrassing.

In addition, Moko has a way of uniting his teammates. His teammates should be the happiest with his style of play. Moko was the top pick and should have consumed a lot of the team's ball rights. Now he plays as a point forward and starts passing the ball to his teammates. With the ball, Mason Jr.'s statistics have increased a lot. He used to play point guard without passing the ball, but now he really doesn't pass the ball anymore. He can take shots unscrupulously.
