NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Chapter 235 Isn't it?Such a beast?

After finishing the call with Pacers, Combe called Billy King over.

Billy King is now the scout manager, but his manager is a bare-bones commander who doesn't have any scouts in his hands. In Combe's team, scouts may be the most useless existence.

"Billy, inform Gilbert Arenas that he has been traded and tell him to pack his bags immediately. You send him to the airport now and send him away quickly."

Kumbu said angrily, he thought Arenas was a rookie, and he would be a man with his tail between his legs after he got to the 76ers, but he didn't expect that after the exposure in the training camp, this guy swelled to the limit.

"Yes, in the summer league that just ended, you find four players to sign, and all of them are given a basic salary."

"It's best to be international players, just look for them, don't care about strength."

Kumbu thought of the few players he traded with the Pacers just now, and now there are only ten players left on the roster, and he thought about asking Billy King to buy some cheap cannon fodder.

The reason why international players are needed is because Kombat found that international players are generally more honest. After all, they are playing in a foreign country, so they are more or less scrupulous.

A moment later, Billy King came to the training ground and announced the news that Arenas was traded to the Pacers directly in front of everyone.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. How long has it been since the conflict between Arenas and Iverson just now?It seemed like ten minutes or so, but Arenas was sold?
It seems that the outside world's evaluation of Kongbu is correct, he really can't rub the sand in his eyes.

Iverson was very moved. He knew that Kumbu was protecting his dignity as the leader of the team. If Konbu didn't deal with Arenas, Iverson really had nothing to do with him.

Hitting can't be done, and scolding doesn't work. Look at Arenas' ugly face, what's the point of scolding him? Don't pass the ball to him on the field?It is almost impossible for Iverson to appear at the same time as Arenas.

As for whether to let Arenas play, how much time to give him to play, this is not something that Iverson can say.

So he really has nothing to do with Arenas.

Now Kongbu said nothing, just let Arenas pack up and leave. Iverson sighed in his heart, why didn't he meet Kongbu earlier?

Now that he started his career directly under Kongbu in the 96 draft, how cool should he be now?It may have become a historical super giant comparable to Jordan. Jordan still dares to point his nose and scold Xiaobizi?
Several other rookies were as quiet as cicadas and were frightened, especially Parker, who was also late for nearly an hour, his face turned green, and he dared not speak while standing beside Yao Ming.

It was good luck that Arenas was traded. The most terrible thing is that if he didn't trade, he would just throw him on the bench and hide his entire career.

Anyway, Kong Bu has never lacked high-quality rookies, and it is not too easy for him to abolish a rookie.

Arenas was full of dissatisfaction, and yelled directly at Billy King, "Trade me? Comb will definitely regret today's decision!"

"He should trade Iverson, definitely not me! I am stronger than him and younger than him!"

"By the way, who will the Pacers come up with to trade me?"

Billy King looked at Arenas and was speechless. He had paid attention to Arenas' expression in the training camp, and his strength was indeed good, but his character was too brain-dead.

"Reggie Miller," he said softly.

"I knew it! Only a superstar like Miller is eligible to trade me."

"Look, this deal is definitely a loss for Comb. My value is much higher than that of Reggie Miller!"

I don't know how Arenas's brain grows. Just now he was so angry that he almost pointed at Kongbu and cursed, but now his face is full of excitement, feeling that he has taken advantage of it.

To be honest, he actually took advantage of it.

Staying in the Philadelphia 76ers, he will always be a substitute, absolutely impossible to play the starting position, unless Iverson is injured or traded, injury is possible, if traded is unlikely, even if Comb wants to trade , It is impossible for the team owner and fans to agree.

After Arenas was taken away by Billy King, Parker pulled Yao Ming's arm tremblingly.

"Yao, you have to cover me from now on, I'll mess with you from now on."

"Our coach is terrible. He won't blacklist me? He won't let me play in the future."

Parker said with a sad face.

Yao Ming smiled and waved his hands, "It's not that exaggerated. The boss is usually very gentle. The premise is that you don't mess around in the team, especially quarreling or fighting in the team. This is absolutely unacceptable to him."

"Besides, don't be late next time. Even Allen doesn't dare to be late. You should know how serious it is to be late in our team."

Iverson is notoriously lazy in training, but under Comb, he has never been late for training once.

"Understood, Yao, I really envy you, you are so strong, and you have such a good relationship with the coach."

"When will you take me with you and treat the coach to a meal, okay?"

Parker looked at Yao Ming adoringly, like a little fanboy.

After all, Yao Ming was still too young, how could he stand up to such sugar-coated shells, and immediately regarded Parker as his own.

Comb was in the office, after pondering for a while, he decided to call Reggie Miller.

After all, it was a little unreasonable to trade him so abruptly without asking him what he thought.

Miller is not quite the same as other players. He has a deep desire for a championship, but he is not very willing to leave the team, or he has not yet reached the point where he is willing to leave his home team in order to win the championship.

This is a player with considerable loyalty to the team.

"Reggie, did Larry inform you?"

Reggie Miller on the other end of the phone was silent for about ten seconds, and replied hoarsely: "I just told me a minute ago."

"Kong, you should be the most perfect candidate for the head coach in my mind. I also thank you for taking a fancy to me, a 36-year-old veteran, and willing to trade me with so many young players."

"But I don't really want to leave the Pacers, this is my home."

Miller sighed.

"Reggie, the Pacers are your home, and there is no conflict with you coming to Philadelphia to win the championship."

"I'm sure that if the fans know that you have come to Philadelphia, they will never blame you, but will sincerely bless you."

"Besides, you don't need to stay in Philadelphia for too long. After this season, you can return to the Pacers at any time. This is my promise to you."

Combe laughed.

These words made Reggie Miller silent for a long time, and he must be excited about winning the championship.

"Isn't it because I said before that 13-year-old kid can surpass you in the future, are you angry? That's why you don't want to come to Philadelphia?"

Seeing that Miller didn't speak, Combe joked.

Miller on the other end of the phone also laughed, "Kong, is that kid as amazing as you said? He's only 13 years old, and I don't see any basketball talent in him."

"Let's not say it, that kid is really so amazing. He will 100% enter the 180 club in the future. In addition, I have a hunch that he will hit at least [-] three-pointers in a season."

Kumbu didn't talk nonsense, Curry really has a magical record of 402 three-pointers in a single season in the future.

"What? This is impossible, 400 three-pointers in a single season? Doesn't it mean that he can hit five three-pointers in a game? Can he average 15 points per game just by three-pointers?"

Reggie Miller was intimidated.

You must know that the number of three-pointers made in a single season at present, the highest value in most seasons has not reached 200, and Miller has only made more than 200 three-pointers in one season so far in his entire career.

He suddenly heard that someone can hit [-] hits in a single season, how could he not be shocked.

"Reggie, you should know that on the NBA stage, nothing is impossible, just like I led the Raptors to build a dynasty. Would anyone believe it four years ago?"

"Okay, hurry up and pack up and report to the team. The new season is about to start. With you joining us, we have a better chance of winning the championship this season." Kongbu urged.

Miller was no longer reserved. After hanging up the phone, he simply said goodbye to his family, took his luggage and boarded the plane to Philadelphia.

Kumbu returned to the training ground to watch the players' training.

He looked at it and felt that something was wrong. Parker didn't know what the hell was going on, and kept following Yao Ming's ass. Yao Ming was also extremely close to him. The two looked like old friends for many years.

Kumbu secretly thought it was not good. He certainly had no objection to Yao Ming making friends, and he even hoped that Yao Ming could make more friends in the NBA, but Parker was the only exception.

Kumbu was a fan of Deng Daidai in his previous life, so he loves Wuwu and Wu, and has a good impression of many Spurs players, such as Ginobili who is currently playing for the Philadelphia 76ers.

For example, Wu Sheng, Brother Diao and others who were teammates with Deng Dadai.

Only Parker and Combe have never been able to develop any good feelings.

This Frenchman is nothing short of a scumbag. He doesn't even let his teammate's daughter-in-law go. He's good-looking and glib.

Brother Diao, who is a compatriot with him, said that Parker is never called at family gatherings in the Spurs, because no one knows if this guy will abduct his teammates' girlfriends or wives that night.

It's not a big problem for a man to be lustful, but it can't be said that there is no bottom line at all, especially if he cheats on the people around him, it is definitely not something a human can do.

Rodman was greened by his teammates. When he was in the Pistons in 93, he found out that his wife had cheated on his teammates. In despair, if he hadn't been stopped by someone, he would have shot himself in the head.

Maybe this is why Rodman was so unique later on, he is a man who has been hurt.

"What did that kid tell you?"

Kong Bu took advantage of the rest time and hurriedly called Yao Ming to his side. He didn't want a tragedy to happen to Yao Ming, although this possibility was almost impossible.

"Huh? Parker?"

"I didn't say anything, I feel that he is a very nice person with a very good personality and very likable."

Yao Ming looked at Parker on the field and smiled.

Yao Ming is at a loss for words, so can he be unlikable?It's not likable, and it's not good enough for your teammates.

"Dayao, are you talking about someone now?" Kong Bu asked abruptly.

Yao Ming nodded shyly, "Well, just now, I don't know if you recognize her, but she also plays basketball, a female basketball player."

"That's right, stay away from that kid."

"He's not a good guy. As far as I know, this guy only picks on the girlfriends or wives of his teammates. You can think about it clearly. If you hook up with this kind of person, you will suffer a day sooner or later."

Kumbu started to give Parker a shit bowl, and now Parker hasn't done those outrageous things.

Yao Ming's face turned green immediately, and he looked at Parker with a sunny smile in disbelief, "Isn't it? Such a beast?"

"It's such a beast, how can I lie to you?"

Yao Ming directly made up his mind that he would not have too much contact with Parker in the future, which was too scary.

……

By four o'clock in the afternoon, the day's training was over.

The training can't be said to have any effect. The main function of this kind of training half a month before the start of the season is to strengthen the tacit understanding between teammates, make friends, and deepen friendship. It is unrealistic to expect half a month to practice tactics.

By the evening of the second day, Reggie Miller had arrived in Philadelphia.

Comb took Iverson and Yao Ming to the airport to greet them, which can be said to have given Reggie Miller enough respect.

Miller was also very moved. He was only a 36-year-old veteran, but the 76ers came to welcome him with such a mobilizing force.

"Kong, I thought a lot when I came here."

"Maybe this season I can try to break through my own three-pointer."

"Four hundred in a single season is too exaggerated, no matter how I think it is impossible, but three hundred, I think I have hope."

"I want to try it out this season."

Miller said excitedly after seeing Combe.

Comb was overjoyed and was willing to shoot three-pointers, which also showed that Miller did not want to control the ball, and he was willing to accept the role of an off-ball shooter.

Iverson also breathed a sigh of relief, Miller's arrival put him under a little pressure.

In any case, Miller is also a superstar star. If he joins the 76ers, he must let him control the ball, right?
As for his own style of play, when he doesn't have the ball in his hands, his combat effectiveness will drop by at least [-]%.

"Allen, I heard you were scolded by Jordan at the All-Star Weekend?"

"Don't worry, next time I see him, I will scold you back."

Miller patted Iverson on the shoulder and said with a smile. If you want to talk about the skill of spraying people, Miller is almost the best in the history of the league.

"What a nice kid, Yao, I'm honored to be teammates with a super center like you."

"Really, you may not understand my mood. When your center teammate can only grab three rebounds per game in the playoffs, you will understand what I mean."

Miller may have thought of the Eastern Conference Finals when he was eliminated by Jordan. This is definitely an eternal wound in his heart.

Speaking of which, Miller's partner center can't be said to be bad, but there has never been a traditional center with super rebounding ability.

Yao Ming was the leading rebounder last season. After Rodman, he is the only super rebounder who averaged more than 18 rebounds per game. Reggie Miller felt that if he had a center like Yao Ming back then, Jordan and the Bulls would all be tortured by him.
