NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Chapter 172 Robbing the Sir
Two weeks later, the Jazz played away against the Spurs.

Malone and Stockton came back. Duncan and the general didn't make any movement in this game, but Uncle Bao in the Spurs showed his power.

A Tiancan foot kicked Stockton directly in the face, which can be regarded as revenge for Deng Daidai.

The key is that after he finished kicking, he stood still and didn't run away, watching Stockton quietly, without any fear of Utah Shuangsha at all.

The Utah Shuangsha can only bear it. They are not young anymore. This season may be their last hope of winning the championship in their careers.

If there is another fight with the Spurs and then a massive suspension, they may miss the playoffs again this year.

So even if he wanted to strangle Uncle Bao to death, Stockton still endured it.

Even though Uncle Bao looks much taller than Stockton, if the two really fought, Stockton would almost be able to grab Uncle Bao's head off.

Usually Uncle Bao did evil, and he would never dare to do it to Jazz, he was also afraid of being beaten.

But the situation is different now. After the wall was pushed down by everyone and the Raptors were beaten up, the league imposed heavy penalties. Everyone can see that the Jazz has become a grasshopper after autumn.

Revenge with vengeance, revenge with grievances, the Jazz directly became the target of the league.

At the beginning of February, the Jazz played against the Warriors who are also in the West.

The Warriors also played badly in this game. Starks, a former member of the New York gang, tripped Stockton directly on the field.

These teams are actually interesting. Generally, they don't take Malone as a knife, but they specifically take Stockton as a knife.

Utah Shuangsha saw that a garbage team like the Warriors dared to bully them, how could they bear it, and fought with the Warriors on the court.

As a result, this fight directly triggered a very large-scale group fight.

Don't forget who the current coach of the Warriors is.

That's the little Ma Long who came out of Kongbu's hands. His father was the iron-blooded assistant teacher of the Bad Boys Corps, and he was influenced by Kongbu every day. His temper has come up, which is no less than that of Kongbu.

After the fight was over, the Warriors didn't take advantage of it.

At the press conference after the game, Malone caught Sloan and the Jazz and lashed out, without saving any empathy.

When spraying jazz, he really has a feeling of surpassing his father.

Because even his father, after so many years of teaching assistant career, seems to have never been qualified to criticize Sloan or Utah Shuangsha at the press conference.

On the second day after the press conference, no one stood up to help Sloan.

What made the Jazz even more chilling was that Combe, leading a large group of league team executives, began to accuse the Jazz of their past sins, and there was a tendency to liquidate the Jazz.

What makes them even more desolate is that the league favored the Raptors last time, but this time it favored the Warriors again.

That's right, now the Jazz is not as valuable as the Warriors in Stern's eyes.

Stern is an extremely realistic president. No one will disagree with this point. Which side he favors in the penalty must be the side that is more valuable in his eyes.

"Kong, on behalf of Sloan and all Jazz players, I sincerely apologize to you for all the unpleasant incidents that happened in the past."

"I hope you can forgive us. If you have any conditions, just mention them casually. We will try our best to satisfy you."

Miller, the female owner of the Jazz and the only female owner in the league, called Comb late at night to sue for peace.

The reason why she came forward was probably because Jazz couldn't hold on anymore.

Since the last home game against the Raptors, the Jazz's market value has dropped by [-]% like a deflated balloon!
Because the Jazz itself is located in a place like Salt Lake City, the market value is not high, and it can only be regarded as a mid-range level in the league.

The main industry of the Miller family is the Jazz.

The market value of the Jazz has dropped by [-]%, which has caused the value of the Miller family to shrink wildly.

In order to overcome the present difficulties, let a woman come out to negotiate peace with Kongbu. They think it is more likely that Kongbu will accept the peace talks.

"Ms. Miller, you must memorize every word I say next."

"I'm not afraid of you recording and leaking the information to outside media. If you want to do this, you are welcome at any time."

"First I want your Lamar Odom, and then you have your 2001 and 2003 first-round picks."

"The bargaining chip I am willing to give here is McCain."

The trading plan given by Kong Bu is a real robbery.

There have been many so-called robbery transactions in history. Compared with this transaction, it is completely insignificant, and there is no comparison.

"McCain? Who is he? Is he a substitute player in your team?"

It seems that Miller doesn't watch basketball very much at ordinary times, and he doesn't even know who is in the Raptors' lineup.

"Bob McCain, one of the four players on the Raptors with a non-rookie contract, the other three are Big Ben, Dampier and Payton."

Kongbu laughed, and he didn't talk nonsense. Except for these four, the other players were all rookie contracts.

McCain made great contributions at the beginning, and Combe signed him a guarantee contract, but because the roster only has [-] places, Combe can only delegate him to the Development League.

"Yes, I will urge them to complete this transaction as soon as possible."

"Kong, after this deal, we are friends."

Miller thought that since he is a player of Comb, no matter how bad he is, it should not be much worse.

Maybe this player named McCain came to the Jazz team, shined brilliantly, and became the hero of the Jazz's championship?
Women are sometimes too romantic, and what they think in their minds is too illusory.

After hanging up the phone, he immediately called a meeting of the Jazz management.

"McCain? Comb said give us McCain?"

Sloan frowned. In his impression, the Raptors didn't have such a player at all.

If it is really a member of the Raptors' existing 12-man roster, then they are willing to do this deal.

After all, the Raptors' current 12-man roster is not weak.

But who is this McCain alone?
"I have the impression that he was sent down by Kumbu. He is not a player that Kumbu likes."

"McCain was a Raptors player before Combe coached the Raptors. For some unknown reason, Combe has kept him in the team for so many years."

"Even so, his strength is quite weak. If Kumbu didn't keep him, he doesn't know how many years he has retired."

A Jazz executive who knows a lot about the Raptors lineup said.

One word caused a thousand waves, and many executives were almost driven mad.

"Too much deceit, Kong Bu is robbing in the open!"

"A player with negative value who wants to replace the top [-] pick we just got, and two future first-round picks, he is definitely not from China, he is from the Vikings."

"Damn Kongbu, do you really think we are easy to bully? Just fight with him, we are having a hard time, and they can't think about it either."

"Even if we agree, the alliance cannot agree."

"That's not sure. Now that Kumbu is hugging Stern's thigh, maybe Stern will really agree."

The Jazz management was very excited, and they all rejected the deal fiercely.

It's really a bit ridiculous to see the chip gap between the two sides.

Even if the chip value of the two sides is two first-round picks behind, it's fine if they grit their teeth and agree.

Now it is definitely not a matter of two first-round picks. In addition to these two first-round picks, they have to give Odom away for free, and they have to eat the remaining 200 million total contract of McCain.

Miller took a deep breath. She was complacent just now and felt that Combe was not as difficult to deal with as rumored.

As a result, she couldn't laugh at all now.

Going to another office alone, she called Kongbu again, probably because she didn't want other senior executives of the team to see her softening.

"Kong, I'm sorry, I didn't know who McCain was just now, so I was a little reckless in agreeing."

"Can you talk about this deal again? If you give any player in your 12-man roster, we can agree."

"McCain, it's too..."

Miller didn't know the relationship between McCain and Combe, and he didn't dare to say that McCain was too weak.

"Huh? What happened to McCain? He just didn't get the right opportunity to perform."

"Give him enough shots, and he can still average 25 points per game."

"In addition, if you agree to this deal, you have to agree, and if you don't agree, you have to agree. I'm not discussing with you."

"If you don't agree, you don't want to play any An Sheng game against the Raptors in the future."

"We have strong capital to spend with you."

"In addition, don't be lucky and only need to play against our Raptors twice in a season. The Nuggets, Supersonics, and Warriors in the West are all my people."

"The Timberwolves coach owes me a big favor. I am so shameless in your eyes, I will definitely not let such a big favor go unused."

"The Grizzlies are old friends with us. I plan to give them a big gift this season. If you want to receive a big gift, you should show something."

"The son of the king's coach is still working as an assistant for me."

"Mashburn, the core striker of the Mavericks, he is grateful to me, you can ask him."

"I won't talk about the Eastern Conference anymore. More than half of the teams in the Western Conference have strong contacts. You Jazz don't even think that you can finish the game safely in any week."

"Trust me, I'm really going to talk to these teams and ask them to help me disgust you Jazz, and they will be happy to do this kind of thing."

"After all, I can't run out of supernovas in my hands. Who wouldn't want to have a good relationship with me?"

Combe's words completely broke Miller.

He is a woman, and he didn't realize what cruelty was at all before.

Now she knew that Combe's every word was cruel.

She now has a feeling, as if she was walking at night at two o'clock in the middle of the night, and was blocked in a small alley by a burly man named Kong Bu, which was called despair.

"Kong, can you think about it for us?"

Miller forced himself to calm down.

"Three days, I only give you three days."

Kong Bu is not completely unreasonable, let him suffer such a big loss, he should give some time to mentally prepare.

……

The next morning, Combe got a call from Stern.

"Kong, I can't agree to the deal you made with the Jazz."

Stern first showed his attitude.

"Why?" Kumbu was curious. It was a deal that was neither stolen nor stolen. Both parties agreed. Why didn't you, Stern, agree.

"Why? It's enough for McCain to change the second round pick, not to mention the bargaining chips for the Jazz."

"If you agree, the league will be in chaos if the teams play shady games in the future." Stern said angrily.

Kongbu nodded. That's true. If the alliance gives the green light to any transactions, there will definitely be some too obvious shady transactions, which will not be a good thing for the development of the alliance.

The word balance has played a very important role in the NBA league being able to develop into what it is today.

There cannot be a team that is too strong to be too strong. Even the Bull Dynasty cannot guarantee that every game will be won.

No team can be too weak, at least not forever.

The Raptors are a bit out of balance right now, but their team building time is very short, and they are still within a controllable range.

"To put it bluntly, you think McCain is too weak to trade peerless bargaining chips, right?" Kumbu asked.

"Yes, that's what it means."

"Okay, then give me a week, and I will show you McCain's true strength."

"Average of 25 points per game is not enough, averaged 25 points per game in the Raptors, the gold content is not worse than the 20 points of the weak chicken team?" Kumbu asked with a smile.

These words directly silenced Stern.

Is McCain really that strong?If it is really so strong, then this deal will be fine, and no one will be able to jump out of the fault.

In the Raptors, he can average 25 points per game, and he can't change anything.

It just so happened that the next three home games of the Raptors were all weak teams. Comb mentioned McCain to the big list while ensuring that the first and second teams would start.

Not only gave enough time to appear on the stage, but also bound the three-point calibration device to McCain.

In the Grizzlies game, after Combe finished his second team, he replaced McCain with Maggette.

Just one word, vote!

Three-pointers poured toward the Grizzlies' basket like a meteor shower.

The Grizzlies' defensive strength, how can they defend against it, McCain finally made 23 of 12 three-pointers, 7 of 3 two-pointers, 6 of 4 free throws, and scored an astonishing 46 points!
In the second game, the Eagles in the Eastern Conference had another wave of three-pointers. They made 14 of 6 three-pointers and scored 23 points in a miscellaneous game.

In the third game against the Chicago Bulls, McCain matched the first team and scored 33 points.

Relying on these three invincible performances, McCain directly won the first honor of his playing career.

Known as the best of the week for the little MVP!
McCain was stunned, Stern was stunned, Miller was stunned, fans all over the world were stunned.

Should the Raptors' lineup be so terrifying that an unknown pawn who was sent down played three random games and averaged 34 points per game?Best of the week?
What else can Stern say?There is no reason to stop this transaction.

Not only are the Jazz no longer resisting the deal, on the contrary they are looking forward to it.

McCain is a small forward, with such powerful three-point firepower, in their Jazz lineup, it is a super perfect championship puzzle!

Odom is really good, otherwise it would be impossible for Comb to fancy him.

But he is a rookie after all. When he grows up, Malone and Stockton are probably retired.

With McCain joining, the Jazz's combat power seems to be greatly improved.

Unfortunately, what they don't know is that when McCain left the Raptors, the three-point calibration device on his body had failed.

He became an ordinary drinking fountain watchman again.
