NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Chapter 245 New System Tasks
"Michael, Kwame is the No. [-] pick and he's only played a few games. You should be more patient with him."

Kumbu said to Jordan that he knew that Jordan was desperate for Kwame Brown, so he came up with Okur's idea.

It is said that he has only played a few games, but during the previous training time, Jordan must have been in contact with Kwame Brown for several months.

These few months have been enough for Jordan to see Kwame Brown's true potential.

Although Okur didn't play many games and his statistics were not impressive, but he performed quite well in the preseason, and his defense at the basket was very tough, even stronger than Brad Miller, a white center. First-rate, very accurate shooting, enough firepower for three-pointers, a very rare special center.

Being able to shoot from the outside can help Jordan open up the defense of the penalty area and give him the opportunity to score points at the basket.

Strong inside defense, no team can refuse an inside defensive gate.

This is the real reason why Jordan misses Okur. He thinks Okur should be the most suitable center for their Wizards.

"Because I haven't played a few games, I can't see his true potential. Kong, do you want to give it a try?"

"What if he is another Yao Ming?"

"We Wizards don't need potential now, we need immediate combat power like Okur, our goal is to reach the playoffs!"

Jordan said half-truthfully that he still wanted to continue to trick Comb.

If Kong Bu was not a time traveler, he might really have believed Jordan's nonsense, and he might have agreed to the deal.

Kwame Brown is also the No. 76 overall pick. Not to mention his physical talent. It seems that the upper limit is much higher than that of Okur. The 76ers already have Yao Ming. Currently, they don't have much desire for immediate combat power. Okur himself is in the [-]ers. The positioning of the inside is more embarrassing, take it out and give it a go, in case Kwame Brown hits it, it will be a bloody profit.

It's a pity that Combe knows Kwame Brown's upper limit too well.

In the 05-06 season, he played for the Lakers, followed Kobe, and played the best season of his career. The rebound rate was about 17%, and the defense was not bad, with a shooting rate of 52%.

The overall performance is also the level of the rotation lineup members.

But if you think about it carefully, Kwame Brown is also unlucky. First it fell into the hands of Jordan, and then it fell into the hands of Kobe. These two should be the team bosses who are the most demanding on teammates in the entire NBA history.

Under Jordan's hands, he was scolded a lot, and under Kobe's hands, he probably was scolded a lot.

A player with a strong heart, under this kind of mental pressure, may turn into motivation to keep moving forward.

And Kwame Brown is obviously not a person with a strong heart, he is just a shy seaside boy who came out of Chuxton.

Like most NBA players, his father disappeared, and his family was extremely poor when he was young. His mother raised seven children alone. In order to buy a pair of sneakers for Kwame Brown, his mother Joyce was still working as a cleaner on Christmas Eve.

Fortunately, Kwame Brown was competitive enough. He was named the best player in the United States a few months ago, was selected to the All-American First Team, and became the No. [-] pick in the draft.

Just relying on the rookie contract, he can let his mother live a life without worrying about food and clothing.

It's a pity that the upper limit is really not high, otherwise Kongbu wouldn't mind nurturing this poor child.

Just when Kumbu was thinking about how to reject Jordan, the long-lost system rang again.

"Congratulations to the host, trigger the mission "Save the Parallel Importer Brown."

"Task objective: Trade Kwame Brown to the team, give him five starting opportunities, and average 20 points and 10 rebounds in these five games."

"Mission Reward: "Essence of Potential Enhancement""

"Potential Enhancement Essence: After use, there is a chance to increase any attribute of the player by 10 to 20 points."

Kong Bu was dumbfounded, could this also trigger the mission?

It seemed that not only did he feel sorry for the child, but even the system felt that the child deserved a better starting environment for his career.

"Michael, let's just get straight to the point."

"You think Kwame is a parallel importer, and you are afraid of falling into your hands, and Okur happens to be the player you need very much, so you proposed this deal."

"Things you can see, can't I see that Kwame is a parallel importer?"

"I really have no reason to make this deal, even if you are my old friend for many years, I have to be responsible for my team."

Kong Bu said righteously.

Jordan's face turned red, and he exposed the trick to Kong Bu's face, and he couldn't hold back.

"No, Kong, you also said that we are old friends for many years, so you won't help me with this?"

"Our current situation is really miserable. You don't want your old friend to lead the team to the worst record in the league after his comeback?"

After a moment of silence, Kongbu said, "It's not impossible to trade, you have to take out the draft pick."

"Give me a 2003 first-round pick."

Jordan shook his head quickly, "No, Kwame is the No. [-] pick. Changing Okur alone is enough to embarrass me."

"If I add another draft pick, I'm afraid the whole league will laugh at me."

Kumbu shrugged, "Then there's nothing I can do. If I were to trade Okur for Kwame, I can't do it. This is obviously a loss-making business."

"And the outside world may not necessarily laugh at you. As long as Okur plays well enough, no one can fault this deal. I can tell you responsibly that Okur can average 20 points and 10 rebounds per game in your Wizards. 2 blocks of data."

"In addition, he has good three-point firepower, which can help you stretch the space."

"It's better for you to calculate the score yourself than to let Kwame fall into your hands. Then it won't be a matter of being laughed at."

Kumbu's words bewitched Jordan. After he received the task, he was already determined to win Kwame Brown.

The task is not difficult. As long as Kumbu works carefully, it is not difficult for Kwame Brown to score 20 points and 10 rebounds in five starts.

Looking for a weak team, giving Kwame Brown a three-point calibration device, and asking his teammates to send Kwame rebounds, Kumbu has full confidence to complete the task.

Kong Bu was very moved by the task reward of potential enhancement essence.

If you are lucky, this thing is enough to turn a mediocre player into a superstar.

Of course, for such a good thing, Comb is definitely not willing to use it on Kwame Brown. What he can do with Kwame Brown is to give him a comfortable growth environment as much as possible, and that is enough.

Jordan gritted his teeth and finally agreed.

Okur is very attractive to him, and he is also very afraid that Kwame Brown will really fall into his hands. If Kwame still plays like this for half a season, let alone change Okur, change the garage It's all strenuous.

"make a deal!"

"Kong, Kwame and our 2003 first-round pick are yours. We will have a press conference tomorrow to announce the news, and then I will take Okur out of Philadelphia."

"make a deal!"

Combe smiled and shook Jordan's hand.

At noon the next day, the two teams made an official announcement, and the deal between the two sides shocked the league.

It's not that there are superstars in the trade, but that the player that the Wizards just selected with the No. [-] pick is about to be sold after changing hands.

This basically announced Kwame Brown's death sentence. He was the No. [-] pick and was replaced by Okur, who was at the bottom of the first round. library.

Philadelphia fans are very happy. They feel that since Comb is willing to make this deal, it must be that Kwame Brown has potential that the Wizards have not discovered.

Anyway, he is also a number one scholar, no matter how bad it is, how bad can it be?

"Son, are you happy in Wizards?"

Comb called Kwame Brown to his office and asked with a smile.

Kwame Brown asked this question with a bitter face, are you happy?Playing under Jordan, it's no wonder that he can be happy.

"The previous things have passed, and the atmosphere in our 76ers team is still very good."

"As long as you don't be late for training, no one will say anything about you."

"Aaron doesn't usually take care of things. You know Yao's personality. Reggie's mouth is a bit stinky, but he won't make things difficult for you. After all, you are a player I traded for."

"As for the other teammates, they won't bully you, and they don't have the qualifications to bully you. After all, you are also the champion!"

Kumbu's words made Kwame Brown tremble all over.

If it wasn't for Kong Bu's reminder, he would have forgotten that he still has such a prominent status.

"Coach, I will work hard."

"I am honored to be Yao's backup. He is the most comprehensive center in the league. I will learn from him humbly."

Kwame Brown looks dull, but he is very sensible, and he immediately expressed his attitude.

Kong Bu nodded in satisfaction, "A substitute must be a substitute. You can't let Yao serve as a substitute for you, that's not appropriate."

"However, there are not no chances to start. Get ready, and I will let you surprise the entire league."

"The No. [-] pick should look like a No. [-] pick. You should be more aggressive and confident. You just won the best player in the United States. You are no worse than anyone else."

"By the way, bring your mother to Philadelphia and take good care of your mother. She is working too hard."

"The team will help you rent a decent place to live. If you want to work, there are some easier jobs in the team that you can let her do."

Combe continued.

These words directly made Kwame Brown burst into tears, and the teardrops flowed down.

He entered the league at the age of 18, entered the adult world, and was destroyed by the old hooligan Jordan for several months, thinking that this was the cruel adult world.

But here in Kong Bu, he experienced care and human touch.

"Coach, thank you."

Kwame Brown sobbed.

Kong Bu waved his hand, "Okay, I hope this is the last time you cry in front of others, you are already an adult."

"Work hard in the future, I am optimistic about you."

……

Kwame Brown's task has not yet begun, and Kombu has to let Kwame Brown train in the training field for a period of time to enter the peak period early.

In the next few games, he always came on as a substitute, averaging only about ten minutes per game.

The performance is not good, but it is much better than the few games played in the Wizards.

Seeing Kwame Brown's performance, Jordan breathed a sigh of relief.

What he is most afraid of is that after Kwame Brown is in the hands of Kumbu, he will directly start to block and kill God, which will look like a joke.

When Okur came to the Wizards, he really averaged 20 points and 10 rebounds per game, helping the team to a record of 3 wins and 1 loss.

Playing at the pace of the Wizards, they are very likely to enter the playoffs this year.

Jordan is extremely satisfied with this deal, and he can make a lot of money in the hands of Comb. This sense of accomplishment is comparable to winning a regular season MVP.

……

Michael Curry, head of the players union in Detroit, hasn't had a good night's sleep for several days.

Little Mason's affairs made him very anxious.

He knew that Mason Jr. must have been treated unfairly in Philadelphia, or simply abused, and the players union had the responsibility to help Mason Jr. out of the siege.

If it were any other team, he would have no trouble solving it. He would directly ask the union to hire a lawyer to file a lawsuit and sue Stern. Anyway, it would definitely be resolved.

Now that Little Mason is in Kongbu's hands, it becomes very difficult. It's not that he didn't want to go to Stern.

But Stern's attitude was to play dead, and he didn't care about it at all. He always felt that he had treated Combu badly. He thought that Combu had been coaching well in the Raptors, so he got him to Philadelphia.

So as long as it doesn't touch the bottom line of the league, he just turns a blind eye to Comb.

Little Mason killed himself, and Stern didn't care about his life. Even if Little Mason completely disappeared from the alliance now, there would be no disturbance in his heart.

Seeing Stern pretending to be dead and not doing anything, the only thing the players union can do here is to ask a lawyer to sue the Philadelphia 76ers.

But Michael Curry didn't have the guts, he knew too well what would happen if he offended Comb.

To be reasonable, if he sues Comb, will Comb trade him to Philadelphia and abuse him as the head of the players union?
Is there such a possibility? That's great!
The Pistons at the helm of the old Dumars has been friends with Kumbu for many years. Dumars owes Kumbu a lot of favors, including Daben's joining the Pistons.

Comb wants to catch Michael Curry, God can't save him.

He also wanted to act as if nothing happened, and pretended to be dead like Stern, but there were still some vice presidents, executive directors and the like in the trade union, and they all wanted to take care of this matter as if they had been beaten. .

After thinking about it, Michael Curry made a decision.

He resigned directly, and ran away with a bucket. Whoever cares will take care of him. Anyway, I will not take this risk.

As Michael Curry ran away, an embarrassing scene appeared. There was no one in the union seat, and no one wanted to be this early bird.

Those vice presidents and executive directors are all righteous, but when they are really asked to be the first birds, they all become the cowards.

Stern and the owners of the various teams all looked at the jokes. The relationship between them and the players' union is not good. Now seeing that Kumbu has made the players' union suffer so much, I am very happy.

No one expected that the player who finally boarded the seat of the players union turned out to be the Wizards' Tyronn Lue.

He can get this position, mainly because of Jordan's support, and then the coaches and players of Comb's department have no objections.

After Grandpa Lu took office, he launched an investigation directly, and then released an investigation report.

The Philadelphia 76ers do not have any abuse of players. On the contrary, the satisfaction of Philadelphia players with the team management ranks first in the league!
