NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Chapter 134
The next day, as soon as Combe woke up, he received a call from old Thomas.

The old guy couldn't sit still, Miller's first show was terrible, and he played 15 minutes in the second game, and the result was not much better.

When he introduced Miller, he blew loudly to Ernie, saying that Miller would be the next big guy, and that the Knicks would have the most luxurious interior super three towers in the NBA.

Well now, let alone the three towers, Miller's level is not enough for the Knicks to guard the drinking fountains.

"Kong, my good buddy, let's cancel that deal."

"I'll send Miller back to you, and I'll send it back tonight, and you give us back that first-round pick."

Old Thomas said cheekily.

"Want to change now?"

Combe teased.

"I want to change it, but I can't do it if I don't. Ernie looks at me differently."

"He may think that I am the kind of person who likes to talk big and do things unreliably."

The way Ernie looked at Old Thomas in the past few days is indeed a bit strange. It is really that Miller's strength is far behind that of Old Thomas.

If the old Thomas hadn't helped the Knicks sign Dazhi, Ernie might not have given the old Thomas a good face.

"Huh? Are you not this kind of person?" How could Kong Bu let go of this opportunity to taunt Lao Deng.

Old Thomas also knew that he was in the wrong, so he could only smile and say nothing.

"Let Miller come back tonight. I'll let Glenn file a deal with the league and return the pick to you."

Combe was too lazy to spend time with old Thomas.

Miller still has to train in the training field for at least a month. If it continues to drag on, it will be the playoffs.

After hanging up with Thomas Sr., Combe washed up and went to Glenn's office.

"What? Kong, you must not change it."

"I finally managed to close a successful transaction, which is my professional achievement."

"You can't deprive me of this one and only achievement."

Glenn saw Miller's poor performance in the last two games and felt that the Knicks' first-round pick must be worth more than Miller.

Even if the Knicks get the Big Zhi, their strength will skyrocket, and they will definitely enter the playoffs and will not get the lottery pick, but the first round pick is still better than Miller, who is worth zero.

Kong Bu was so angry that he rolled his eyes. He kept himself in the dark during the trade before and turned himself into a drummer. Now Kong Bu really wants to become a Mongolian top laner and output to Glenn.

In desperation, Kong Bu could only tell Sha Lun his plan.

"You said he is the best inside passing big man in history? No one?"

"So exaggerated?"

"We want to fight the Princeton system? Expand tactical reserves?"

Sha Lun was fooled by Kumbu for a moment, thinking that Miller didn't seem to have a chance to pass the ball in these two games with the Knicks, maybe his ability in this area really didn't show.

Now that they are all the best passing big men in history, the first-round pick that is not a lottery pick is irrelevant.

At noon that day, he reported the deal to the league.

It's only been less than a week since the deal, and the two sides actually want to cancel the deal and switch to another team, Stern may be about to scold.

It is even possible to reject the deal outright.

But this time Stern didn't say anything, and he also had his own plans.

The Knicks' record has not been very good in recent years. Thinking back to the time when the Knicks reached the finals in 1994, the Knicks made crazy money.

The Knicks made a lot of money, and the league certainly made a lot of money.

So it's not unreasonable for Stern to regard Knicks as his own son.

This season, the Knicks introduced Big Zhi, and their strength has skyrocketed. The deal about Miller a week ago also made Stern daydream.

Why the Raptors won the championship last season, most people think that their four inside towers played an important role.

Now the Knicks have the opportunity to form three inside towers, and definitely have the opportunity to hit the championship.

As a result, after playing two games, he found that Miller was simply not good enough, and he was not the super center seed he thought at all.

He didn't know how Thomas Sr. persuaded Comb to cancel the deal. Since the two parties had no objections, of course he would not object.

The next morning, as soon as Miller got off the plane, Combe called him to his office.

Miller's experience this week was like a dream to him.

When he was in the draft, he heard that he was selected by the Raptors, and he was so excited.

Who is Combe?Recognized as the coach with the best vision in the league, he has never missed a player in his selection.

Miller felt that he would become a super insider like Ben, O, or Big Zhi in the future, and he could earn an annual salary of tens of millions after playing for a few years.

He is looking forward to the arrival of the new season more than anyone else.

As a result, after waiting for almost half a year, he was ready to go to Toronto when he received the notice of the start of the competition from Stern.

He learned that he was sold to the Knicks.

The old Thomas went to the airport to pick him up in person, which made him fantasize again. The old Thomas valued him so much, and maybe he could get ahead in the Knicks.

After two games, he completely collapsed, and he felt that his career was over.

Who would have thought that there will be another village where the willows are dark and the flowers will be bright? When he was wandering, he was sent back to the Raptors.

"Because of our negligence at work, the Knicks tricked you away."

"Fortunately, we've got you back now."

"Don't think about the first two games. In the next month, train hard and don't think about playing."

"A month from now, I'm sure you'll shake up the league."

The last thing Kumbu wants to see is for his players to lose confidence. Miller in front of him is obviously beaten and loses confidence.

Hearing about Kumbu's chicken soup, Miller cheered up. Kumbu has such confidence in himself, so he must not be useless, but must have a bright spot.

Otherwise, Kong Bu obviously saw his poor performance in the previous two games, so why would he want to come back? Wouldn't it be nice to keep a first-round pick?
Then Combe led Miller to the training ground.

"Rick, your work can begin."

"In the next month, with him as the core, lead the four of them to start training the Princeton system."

Comb pointed to Miller not far away, as well as Lewis, Harrington, Carter and Billups, and said to Adelman Jr.

Because Billups is the only point guard in the team, he can only be put in.

The current flounder is simply a universal socket. No matter what kind of tactics are played, as long as it is not fast-paced running and bombing, he can fit perfectly.

There are too few point guards, which is indeed a difficult problem.

However, there will be a lot of point guards in the next draft. There are four good point guards in the top ten picks. Comb finds a way to get a top ten pick, and the point guards will naturally be solved by then. shortage problem.

Little Adelman felt a bit pained when he saw the five people assigned to him by Combe.

When Sha Lun invited him to the Raptors as an assistant coach, his fantasy scenario was to use the Raptors' core players to build the Princeton system.

As a result, after the arrival, after finally waiting for the work to come, Kong Bu actually assigned some new people to him.

He is not as talkative as Ma Long, even if he thinks this lineup can't play anything, he still does it and leads five people to the side of the training ground to start training.

……

The Raptors played their third game of the season against the Boston Celtics.

For tonight's game, Combe will rest McGrady.

McGrady's situation is a bit weird. His health value has been fluctuating around 80 points since the start of the game. In the last game, Kumbu only let him play for 10 minutes. As a result, his health value actually dropped, leaving only 74 points. point.

Under normal circumstances, McGrady's health in the first six or seven seasons remained very good, and he was full of attendance in almost every season.

It wasn't until after going to the rocket that it really became a crispy chicken.

However, in the first two years of McGrady's rookie season, he averaged only about 10 minutes per game, and the appearance of Kumbu allowed him to play 32 minutes last season.

Kumbu was worried that he would use McGrady early, so of course he had to be cautious.

Once McGrady's health value falls below [-], he will take a rest immediately.

McGrady was rested, and Duron Davis got the chance to start tonight.

It has been a week since the start of the game, and there were about ten days of training before the start of the game. The strength of Duron Davis has improved significantly.

After the game started, Billups and Snow fought each other frantically.

Both of these two want to prove that they are better than each other. Whenever they meet each other in a match, they will fight with 120 points.

The two choked each other, which made it easier for Duron Davis.

Green Kai is actually playing a dual point guard system, with Snow plus Dana Barros.

Snow went to fight with Billups, and Davis was facing the 180-foot-tall point guard Barros.

Just a few minutes after playing, Dulong Davis forced three goals from Barros, scoring 6 points in a row.

Seeing his performance bursting, he immediately started asking his teammates for the ball.

After Big Ben, Big Bus or Jermaine O'Neal grabbed the offensive rebound at the basket, because Billups was closely defended by Snow, he couldn't find the passing space, so he had to pass it to Duron.

In this way, Dulong directly turned into Jordan, and the offensive end was like a god of war, breaking through, shooting, and free throws, and his scores rose slowly.

To be reasonable, Dulong is a shooting guard who averaged 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists per game at his peak.

Of all the active shooting guards in the league, there are really not many with such data in their peak period. That is, it happened to be the period of the four major shooting guards.

The gap between Duron and Barros is definitely far greater than the gap between Jordan and McGrady.

By the end of the first quarter, Duron had scored 16 points and maintained a very good offensive efficiency.

"Me, Ricky!"

"Tonight is going to break the historical record!"

When Dulong left the field, he yelled at the fans on the sidelines.

The key fans really liked him, and gave applause and cheers one after another.

Kong Bu was full of disgust, and deliberately stayed away from Du Long. This guy is really shameless.

He only scored 16 points in a single quarter, and dared to say that he wanted to break the historical record. It's too thick-skinned.

In the second quarter of the game, Dulong began to covet rebounds and assists on the premise of maintaining a strong offense.

This guy is a shooting guard, but he seems to have some weird obsession with triple-doubles.

In Lukai's offensive round, Fat Toutuo missed a mid-range shot, and Da Ben jumped up, almost getting all the rebounds.

As a result, in the process of falling, the poisonous dragon snatched it from his hand.

Even a big brother like Da Ben who has infinite patience with his teammates is still upset.

He really likes to give up rebounds to his teammates, but I can give up, you can't grab it!

By the end of the first half, Duron had scored 24 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists.

Among these six rebounds, at least three were from Daben, who made Daben's face turn red. If it were those grumpy ones, they might have yelled at Dulong.

At the end of the third quarter, Duron's stats were 29 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists. In this quarter, he reduced his shots and began to pass the ball to his teammates for assists.

This guy's IQ may have been used to collect statistics, and the bus happened to be on the court. As long as he had the ball in his hand, he would immediately pass it to the bus under the basket. He really got four assists in a single quarter.

Only 1 rebound and 2 assists away from a triple-double.

After 5 minutes in the fourth quarter, Lukai made a substitution, and the game entered garbage time. Duron Davis's data was 32 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, which happened to be a triple-double.

Kumbu replaced him, and this guy seemed a little unsatisfied.

"If the opponent doesn't surrender, I can at least score a 40-point super triple-double tonight!"

"Mike, how many records have I broken?"

The poisonous dragon asked the little Malong.

Ma Long also looked disgusted, "Breaking the record? You don't really think that 30 points and a triple-double can break the record?"

"Our Raptors had this kind of data at least [-] times last season, and it could happen once every two games."

"Twice a quadruple-double, and a five-by-five. It's not your first show. You can break a fart record."

The generals laughed.

Dulong didn't care about Marlon's ridicule at all, he was now fantasizing with joy, he performed so well, would it be possible to squeeze out McGrady's starting lineup next?

Kumbu let himself start tonight, has he discovered that his potential is much higher than Tracy McGrady?
When the referee blew the whistle and the game ended, the Raptors beat Green Kai by 14 points at home.

Green Kai's head coach Pitino is heartbroken. You must know that the No. 13 pick that Kumbu picked Duron came from their Green Kai.

The better Dulong played on the court, the more distressed Pitino was.

In the end, when Dulong scored a 30+ triple-double, Pitino was so distressed that he couldn't breathe.

If I had known that Billups was not a parallel importer, it would be great to keep this No. 13 pick. Now they will have a backcourt combination of flounder and Duron.
