NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Chapter 202 Artest Elbows Yao Ming
The win is inexplicable, Yao Ming made too many free throws tonight, 28 free throws in a single game, which usually only happens when the shark-slashing tactic appears.

Elder Wilkens was obviously not so foolish as to use the shark slashing tactics against Yao Ming.

After the end of the game, Yao Ming was also in a daze. He only scored 11 points in the sports game tonight. If it was left in the past, it would be very difficult for him to score more than [-] points tonight.

As a result, he scored 25 points from free throws alone, and easily earned another 30+ data.

It's a pity that the rebound data is pitiful. Tonight, when Yao Ming played against Big Ben or the coach, he was very uncomfortable. He couldn't get any rebounds at all. There was only one offensive rebound among the six rebounds in the game.

Fortunately, the game was won, otherwise Yao Ming would feel that he was the chief war criminal after losing the game.

Iverson played very rationally tonight. Even facing a top shooting guard like Carter, he restrained his desire to make crazy shots.

He took 19 shots and scored 27 points and 9 assists. The statistics are very good, the second highest score in the game except Yao Ming.

Carter played brilliantly in the first half and scored a lot of points on Reed.

It's a pity that in the second half, Pierce began to grab the shot right to singles Kirilenko, and Carter's shots dropped sharply, scoring a total of 21 points.

And Pierce shot 21 times, and finally only scored 21 points.

Kirilenko has never been particularly present in the 76ers. The main reason is that he rarely participated in the offensive end. He played more than 30 minutes in each game, but in the end he only took five or six shots, averaging about seven shots per game. Eight points are credited.

If you only look at the score, Kirilenko can only be regarded as a very ordinary starter. In addition to the 76ers, there are 28 teams in the league. At least dozens of starters who can not lose to Kirilenko can be found .

But after tonight's game, combined with the previous performance, the fans and various experts suddenly found that Kirilenko is not simple, very not simple, this guy's defensive efficiency is a bit scary.

身为一名三号位小前锋，不知不觉间，他现在已经打出了场均7.2分5篮板4助攻1.8抢断3盖帽的数据。

Today, there are only three players in NBA history who averaged 1.5 steals and 3 blocks per game in a season.

They are Admiral Robinson, Dameng Olajuwon and Da Ben.

Now this list seems to be adding a new melon egg Kirilenko.

Not only is his defensive low-level data good, but his defensive advanced data is also very bluffing. He currently has a defensive efficiency of 97 points, and his defensive victory contribution has reached 5.1!

Generally, this kind of data can only be seen on inside players. It is hard to believe that a small forward can play such a terrifying defensive efficiency.

There is indeed no sense of presence on the offensive end, but this is only due to the overall style of the 76ers. His offensive efficiency is not low, and he has both mid-range shots and three-pointers.

You must know that Kirilenko also averaged 16 points per game in his peak period.

Bus should be regarded as the Raptors' best player tonight, scoring 25 points, 11 rebounds and 3 blocks, a standard top insider data.

However, he was deeply troubled by fouls, and he had already committed five fouls just at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

Big Ben scored only 3 points tonight and scored 16 rebounds. He only played 2 minutes in the fourth quarter and had six fouls left.

Overall, the 76ers were very lucky to win this game. If it weren't for the Raptors' too many inside fouls, the chances of the 76ers winning are very slim.

This game also reminded Comb and the 76ers that their team wants to go further, and it seems that there is still a lot of work to do.

"Coach, how about I change to the fourth position in the future?"

After the game, Yao Ming chatted with Kumbu in the locker room. Tonight's rebound situation deeply affected his self-confidence.

He has a good shooting ability, and if he plays the fourth position, he can indeed play.

"What's wrong? Don't you have confidence in yourself?" Kong Bu asked with a smile.

Yao Ming nodded silently. Ben actually only played three quarters, and ended up grabbing 16 rebounds. He played more minutes than Ben, and only had six rebounds. The gap was too big.

"Don't worry, you are only a rookie now, and you haven't played a few games."

"You should give yourself some time to grow up. Don't worry, your rebounding ability is not inferior to them."

"In the next game, I'm going to let Rodman play. You can take a good look at how he grabs the rebounds."

"It only takes a week, and your rebounding will definitely be a blockbuster." Kumbu said confidently.

There are only two games left, and the opponents are not strong. As long as they win and let Rodman score 20+ rebounds in one of them, the task will be completed.

At that time, Comb will extract Rodman's rebounding attributes to Yao Ming, and then Yao Ming will directly have the capital to rule the league.

Thinking about it now, Combe felt that it was undoubtedly a very wise decision for him to invite Rodman to join his team.

If there is no Rodman in the team right now, then the most suitable attribute for Yao Ming to extract may be Barkley's back-up.

It's a pity that Yao Ming's back-up ability is not weak, and he doesn't need to keep back-up. After all, his height may be higher, and the efficiency of face-up attack may be higher.

Barkley can't help it. He is too short. If he keeps playing face-up, he will at least have to be capped a few times in a game.

……

After winning the Raptors, the 76ers have won eight consecutive victories.

So far this season, the 76ers have a record of 10 wins and 1 loss, directly surpassing the Knicks and taking the No. [-] throne in the Eastern Conference.

Although the outside world had already confirmed that the 76ers would take off when Combe announced that he would join the 76ers, it is still unbelievable to take off to this height.

You must know that the 76ers did not even make the playoffs last season.

In the absence of a large-scale trade and reinforcements, Kumbu came back to life and brought the 76ers to the league's first record.

For a moment, Larry Brown looked like an idiot.

"Dennis, get ready to play. In the next game against the Clippers, you need to play and protect our rebounds."

"Can you still grab rebounds now?"

Comb called Rodman before the Clippers game.

The new season has been played for almost a month, and Rodman has actually never come to Philadelphia to report, and Comb is too lazy to care about him. After all, the agreed joining condition is that Rodman will not participate in any form of training.

There was no need for Rodman to play in the main game, so Combe never called Rodman.

Of course, the salary that should be paid must still be paid to Rodman, and he has always been on the 76ers' roster.

"Can you grab a rebound? Kong, you are humiliating me."

"As the greatest rebounder in NBA history, even if I am 50 years old, as long as I play, I can easily grab 20 rebounds."

"I'm in Los Angeles now. Please let me start the next game. If I don't get 20 rebounds, I don't want a penny of salary."

"All the wages I got before will be refunded to you."

Rodman was obviously stimulated by Combe's words.

The thing he is most proud of in his basketball career in his life is rebounds, rebounds and rebounds. As a result, Combe questioned his rebounding ability, and of course he couldn't stand it.

What's more, only the parallel importer Olowokandi can handle the inside line of the Clippers. Rodman really doesn't believe that he can't grab 20 rebounds in his head.

Comb breathed a sigh of relief. The reason why he stimulated Rodman was of course to let him show some real skills.

In case he came to work and didn't work hard, then Kong Bu had been busy for half a month.

On the night of the match day, before going on the court, Kong Bu asked Yao Ming to try not to grab rebounds tonight and focus on the offensive end.

The reason for this arrangement is that Comb is also worried that Yao Ming will take away Rodman's rebounds, causing Rodman to fail to exceed 20 rebounds.

Now all of Kumbu's thoughts are on completing the task.

Yao Ming nodded obediently without asking why.

Van Gundy Jr. has left the Clippers, and now the Clippers coach is Gentry, who also has a bad relationship with Comb.

Gentry was full of resentment toward Comb, who had been fired as the Pistons coach because of Dumars' superior position.

Even if there is no evidence, Gentry is convinced that his dismissal is absolutely inseparable from Comb.

During the offseason, he learned that Combe had left the Raptors, and his heart was full of joy.

He finally had a chance to beat Konbu on the court. The Clippers he coached were not much worse than the Knicks. He firmly believed that his coaching ability was far stronger than Konbu.

In the case of similar lineups on both sides, the loser can only be Kumbu.

As a result, his happiness didn't last long. After less than a month of playing in the new season, the 76ers ranked first in the league with 10 wins and 1 loss, while the Clippers ranked last in the Western Conference with 4 wins and 7 losses. three.

Kumbu glanced at Gentry who was staring at him not far away, his eyes were full of disdain.

With Kumbu's current status in the league, Gentry doesn't even have the right to speak in front of him, and Konbu doesn't even bother to talk to such low-level youngsters.

The Clippers' starting lineup: center Olowokandi, power forward Darius Miles, small forward Ron Artest, shooting guard Jeff McGinnis, and point guard Kenyon Dooling.

This lineup is extremely shabby, and they don't even have a point guard. Whether it's McGinnis or Dooling, both of them are shooting guards.

The 76ers came up with an uncommon starting lineup tonight, and Rodman, who has never shown his face, started the game.

In the first offensive round, Iverson attacked with the ball alone, but failed to score with a fadeaway shot.

The years seemed to leave no trace on Rodman at all. Rodman, with his pink hair, easily received the offensive rebound on Myers' head.

After grabbing the rebound, Rodman didn't even look at Miles, who was facing him. Instead, he glanced provocatively at Combe on the sidelines.

That's like saying, see?I can still abuse anyone on the rebounding end.

Kongbu didn't have any expression on his face, but he was happy in his heart. Seeing Rodman's state, 20 rebounds tonight is no problem.

After grabbing the rebound, Rodman didn't play a second attack by himself. Yao Ming was blocked by Olowokandi, and he couldn't find the passing space, so he had to pass the ball to the outside again.

To say that at the beginning of his career, Rodman actually had a bit of offensive ability.

But in the later stage, his offensive ability is almost negligible. On the one hand, he doesn't want to attack, and on the other hand, he can't attack even if he wants to.

When Rodman is still using top rebounding ability, he can't find a job in this league. In fact, it has little to do with his training attitude. The main reason is that he has no offensive ability at all, and he also lacks an effective basket. passing ability.

If he really has an offensive threat, can pass the ball, and still has top rebounding ability, let alone his training attitude is not serious, even if he does not play a game in the regular season, the team that wants to sign him will have to line up .

Iverson rallied for his second attempt.

This time he didn't make a shot himself, but faked a real pass and transferred the ball to Yao Ming.

Yao Ming scored directly against Olowokandi's defensive throw under the basket.

Everyone is the champion, but there is a huge gap between the champion and the champion.

It has been more than two years since Olowokandi entered the league. In the past two years, he has been completely labeled as a parallel importer.

If it is said that he has no strength at all, that's not enough. He has an average level inside the league in all aspects, but the problem lies here. He can do everything, but he can't do anything well.

Before the draft, those experts said that he was the second generation of Dameng. Looking at it this way, it seems to be true. Dameng is the most versatile center, and Olowokandi is the most versatile center.

The whole game went very smoothly. Yao Ming abused Olowokandi on the offensive end. He also kept in mind Kombu's order, did not touch the rebound, and gave all the rebound to Rodman.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter of the game, Rodman had already grabbed No. 20 rebounds and successfully completed the task.

Now that Rodman's rebound has passed, Combe simply called a timeout, replaced Oakley and replaced Rodman.

Cauldron Rodman has completed his mission. In three days, after the Raptors win the Rockets, Rodman will become a drug dregs with no rebounding ability.

For Rodman, this actually has no effect. Anyway, he was about to retire, which means that he sold his rebounding talent that he no longer needed for $100 million.

The situation on the court has been extremely unfavorable to the Clippers.

There is almost one quarter left in the game, and the Clippers are already behind by 27 points.

Olowokandi's movements couldn't help getting bigger. He had been looking forward to this match for a long time, looking forward to the confrontation with the much-anticipated No. [-] pick Yao Ming. As long as he can beat Yao Ming, at least he can restore some of his reputation.

It's a pity that he was completely crushed in tonight's duel. He couldn't defend against Yao Ming at all on the defensive end, and Yao Ming's offensive end was also useless.

Kongbu also noticed that Olowokandi's movements became bigger and didn't take it seriously. Yao Ming will face this moment sooner or later. As long as Olowokandi doesn't play too much, Kongbu even has to thank him.

With 3 minutes left in the game, Artest made a layup with the ball.

With a "snap", Yao Ming, sitting under the basket, directly rewarded Artest with a cap.

The big hat directly made the beast lose his mind. When he landed, he directly elbowed Yao Ming's chest.

Fortunately, Yao Ming is much taller than Artest. If they were the same height, Yao Ming might also have to enjoy the treatment of Harden's head being elbowed.

Yao Ming grinned from the elbow and fell to the ground clutching his chest.

How could his current thin body be able to withstand Artest's full-strength elbows, let alone Yao Ming, who had a physique like Jordan's, and his ribs were broken by the neurotic Artest.

Kong Bu stood up abruptly and looked at Yao Ming worriedly. He hoped that Yao Ming would face some confrontation, but it was definitely not this kind of confrontation.
