NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Chapter 246 Kwame Brown of 35+20

Iverson's injury has an impact on the Philadelphia 76ers, but the impact is not too great, mainly because Parker can play at least [-]% to [-]% of Iverson's role on the offensive end.

And his defensive end is much better than Iverson.

After playing as a starter for a period of time, Parker immediately became famous. With an average of 19 points and 10 assists per game, he already has the potential to become the league's top point guard.

He can be said to be the biggest beneficiary of Iverson's injury.

After he became famous, Parker's popularity was extremely high, especially among female fans. Whether it was the Philadelphia 76ers' home or away games, countless female fans bought front row tickets to cheer for Parker.

Laomei’s attitude towards the French is very contradictory. On the one hand, she thinks they are lazy, glib and unreliable, and on the other hand, she thinks they are elegant and “noble”. After all, Laomei’s best restaurants are usually French cuisine, followed by art, music, red wine The attainments in other aspects are also very high.

The female fans are very emotional, a good-looking and elegant Frenchman with strong strength, of course the female fans are very excited.

After playing the game for a month, as long as there is a game that night, there will be a woman in Parker's bed.

Kong Bu also turned a blind eye, anyway, as long as he doesn't trouble his teammates' girlfriends or wives.

In fact, Comb was most worried about Iverson. If Parker really dared to reach out to Iverson's wife, maybe Iverson could really shoot him.

On November 11, the Philadelphia 18ers played away against the New York Knicks.

Iverson is still on the injured list, but he has already started training with the team, doing some low-intensity training. According to the estimates of the team doctor, it will take at least a month for him to fully recover.

Of course, Iverson couldn't wait to return to the game, but he was persuaded by Kumbu.

Now is not a critical moment, the team's record is still very strong, ranking first in the league, Iverson is still so young, and there are still many years of peak in the future, there is really no need to take risks.

"Boss, that kid you traded from the Wizards is such a lunatic."

"I heard from the staff in the arena that he arrived at the training ground for training at five o'clock in the morning, ate the breakfast he brought after practicing at eight o'clock, and then started practicing again, like a ruthless training machine."

Iverson is not a person who likes training. Seeing Kwame Brown's terrifying enthusiasm for training, he was shocked.

Kumbu also heard about Kwame Brown's hard training, and he was very satisfied. As the saying goes, he can grasp the opportunity in his own hands. Kumbu is very pleased that he can work so hard, at least he has not misjudged him.

If after coming to Philadelphia, he ate and waited to die every day, then he was doomed to be a parallel importer in his life.

"Allen, did you usually bully that kid in the team?" Kong Bu asked.

Iverson waved his hand, "No, everyone knows that you don't hate team bullying very much, so no one has the guts to bully teammates."

"In addition, others will only admire his exaggerated training intensity, how could they bully him for no reason."

"Generally, players who are bullied in the team must have something wrong with them, either they can't speak to offend others, or they are stealing and playing tricks."

Iverson laughed.

Kongbu was speechless. Isn't this a typical victim blaming theory?
"It's good that no one bullies that kid. That kid has suffered too much under Michael's hands. As the boss of the team, you should pay more attention to him."

"I think you should be very aware of how tortured young people are around Michael."

Iverson nodded again and again, he had too much say in this regard.

In fact, the old rascal Jordan is not targeting any rookie, as long as he spits on rookies, even Yao Ming is no exception.

Under normal circumstances, Yao Ming entered the league in 02, which was the last season of Jordan's career, and he played against Yao Ming.

In that game, Jordan spat Yao Ming with trash talk. Unfortunately, Yao Ming couldn't understand it at all. He only knew that Jordan spat him, but he didn't know what.

……

After Iverson left, Combe called Kwame Brown to his side.

"Son, I am very satisfied with your recent training."

"Not only am I satisfied, but the boss of the team is also very satisfied with your performance. You have been on the bench for almost a month. How about this, let you start tonight."

"In Madison Square Garden, the holy land of basketball, in front of the national and even global live broadcast, if you can play good data, you should know what it means."

Kumbu smiled at Kwame Brown.

A child who works so hard should be given some rewards. Kumbu has let him play as a substitute for a month, and now it is time for him to play and start once.

It may be the dream of every NBA player to become famous in Madison Square Garden.

But before that, Kumbu has to make some arrangements. The Knicks' inside lineup is too strong. If Kwame Brown starts at the fifth position, he may have to beat Uncle Mu if he wants to play against Uncle Mu.

And if he played against Da Zhi at the [-]th position, Da Zhi might score [-] points off his head.

"What? Coach, I can't do it for such an important game."

"Whether it is against Mutombo or Big Zhi, I am not an opponent."

Kwame Brown panicked and said that he knew that Kumbu took good care of himself. It was an absolute trust in himself that he was allowed to start this kind of global live broadcast game.

But he is also aware of his own strength. The Knicks' inside partner is too strong, and no matter who he is facing, he will be hanged.

Not about confidence, but normal thoughts of a normal person.

Mutombo is one of the best blue-collar interior ceilings in NBA history. If he switches identities with Lord of the Rings Russell, his achievements may not be lower than Russell.

As for Big Zhi, he is a perennial NBA All-Star starter, the perennial best team, MVP, FMVP has won, the best super power forward in the league, if you only look at honors, he is the league's number one power forward.

And what about myself?It's just a new melon egg who has just been playing for a month. Even if he trains hard, he can't make up for the gap in talent and experience.

He was not afraid of being blown up by these two people, but he was afraid of embarrassing Kongbu.

It's hard to describe how grateful Kwame Brown is to Kumbu at this time. He feels that Kumbu is like his father. Of course, this metaphor is a bit inappropriate, because he doesn't know what his father is like.

If he was completely blown away by his opponent under the global live broadcast, then he would become a joke, and the previous deal between Kumbu and Jordan would also become a huge joke.

You must know that Okur's current performance is quite amazing. The Wizards have gradually gained a foothold in the East. Not only has a good record, but his presence also makes Jordan play more comfortably.

It can be said that Okur is the combination of Kukoc and Luke Langley. Jordan is now in front of the media. The player who praises the most is Okur. He said that Okur is one of the best players he has worked with. When he was in the Bulls , have never praised Pippen and Rodman so much.

"Don't think so much, since I let you start, then I must have made arrangements, you can play at ease."

"It's just a regular season, don't think too complicated, and don't underestimate my energy too much."

"After playing, the offensive end pulls out to shoot three-pointers, and the defensive end gives me the basket to grab rebounds. I don't care what you do tonight, you must give me 20 points and 10 rebounds."

Kong Bu spoke confidently.

Kwame Brown looked confused and asked himself to shoot a three-pointer?But I don't have a little bit of three-point ability?

Not to mention the main game, even in daily training, my three-point shooting percentage is less than [-]%, how can I shoot three-pointers?
But in an instant, he thought of a saying circulating in the Philadelphia 76ers, "When the coach asks you to shoot a three-pointer, then you have to congratulate you."

Yao Ming didn't score a single three-pointer last season. This season, Kumbu made him happy for a month, and he averaged two three-pointers per game for fun.

It just so happened that Yao Ming's binding expired, and Kumbu was going to let Kwame Brown complete the task in the next month.

"Coach, I'll give it a try. If you don't play well, don't scold me."

Kwame Brown said tremblingly.

Kong Bu smiled wryly, this child is really pitiful, he really has no self-confidence at all.

Fortunately, after tonight's game, if he plays well, his self-confidence should be built up.

After letting Kwame Brown leave, Combe called Lao Deng directly.

"Old man, for tonight's game, don't you play Mutombo, and we don't play Yao Ming, how about it?"

"Huh? What do you mean? Kong, are you involved in gambling?" Old Thomas frowned. Kong Bu's request was really weird.

Mutombo is important to the Knicks, but certainly not as important as Yao Ming to the Philadelphia 76ers.

If neither side is the starting center, it is obvious that the Knicks have taken advantage.

So Lao Deng felt that Combe was involved in gambling, and wanted to deliberately lose to the Knicks tonight to get a big deal.

"Do you think it's necessary for me to do something like that? I want that Kwame kid to start tonight."

"After all, it's Madison Gardens. This kid has been ruined by Michael for so long. He needs a game to boost his confidence."

"Don't you want to see how Michael regretted it? The No. [-] center he sold cheaply played, which may make him more uncomfortable than killing him."

Kumbu knew that the relationship between Lao Deng and Jordan was in dire straits, so he pulled Jordan out.

"I want it! I want it too much!"

"Okay, then it's settled, we won't play Mutombo tonight, and you won't play Yao."

"I can completely accept losing this game, but can you guarantee that that silly boy can play decent numbers?"

"To make Michael regret, at least 20 points and 10 rebounds."

"Well, it looks like I have to come up with a weaker center forward."

In order to deflate Jordan, Lao Deng would rather lose a regular season game.

Whether it is for the Knicks or the 76ers, winning or losing the regular season is actually indifferent.

The combat power of the two teams is currently the best in the league, as long as they can reach the playoffs, it is enough.

The reason why we need to win more games in the regular season is that on the one hand, we want to gain more home court advantage, and on the other hand, we need to take care of the feelings of the fans.

After all, after spending so much money to watch the game, watching a loss, it must be unhappy.

Now Lao Deng doesn't care about the feelings of the fans, he just wants to deflate Jordan.

Kumbu hung up the phone with a smile, everything has been arranged, and then it depends on whether Kwame Brown is up to date.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the starting players of both sides began to appear.

The starting lineup for the Philadelphia 76ers: Kwame Brown, Randolph, Gerrard, Reggie Miller and Parker.

The Knicks' starting lineup is Clarence Witherspoon, Big Zhi, Wu Sheng, Houston and Payton.

When he saw that Lao Deng put Witherspoon in the starting center position, Combe secretly thought that Lao Deng was really ruthless.

Domestic fans don't have much impression of Witherspoon. The only impression may be that he used to be teammates with Yao Ming for a while, and there is also a scandal with Wang Lihong, who is Wang Lihong's boyfriend.

I don’t know if it’s true or not, anyway, it’s rumored that there are eyebrows and eyes, and this eye is not the eye on the top...

As a member of the 92 Insider Prosperity, Witherspoon's statistics in the first few years of his career were overwhelming, averaging 18 points and 10 rebounds per game.

At first glance, this is the data of a top center, because Mourning was about the same data at the time.

But his height is only 198 centimeters, let alone a center, he is tall enough to play a small forward.

It's a bit like aunt Larry Johnson, both of whom are extremely short, but play the inside position.

If he is still in his prime, Kwame Brown may not be able to grab rebounds from him, but he is now in his 30s, and he is no longer the young man with bursting athletic ability.

Before going on the court, Kumbu also specifically instructed Randolph to give Kwame Brown some rebounds tonight. Since he decided to start the mission tonight, Kumbu must of course make full preparations.

Randolph agreed without even thinking about it. Compared with the statistics, he hoped to gain the trust of Comb. Since he came back from the suspension, he has been partnering with Yao Ming in the starting lineup. Now he averages 13 points and 8 rebounds per game. Gradually he became famous.

The Knicks fans at the scene received an official notice in the afternoon. The starting centers of the two teams were put on the rotation list tonight because of physical discomfort.

The fans just felt strange and didn't think too much.

The strangest thing about them is why the old Thomas let Witherspoon play center. It is obviously a better position for him to play Dazhi as a substitute.

In the first offensive round, after Da Zhi succeeded in jumping the ball, he began to single Randolph.

He can't stand Randolph, but he is flexible enough and has a top-level ball-handling ability in the inside.

This ball cannot be blamed on Randolph at all. Facing a player of Da Zhi's type, he really has nothing to do.

On the contrary, it would be more appropriate for Kirilenko to match up with Big Zhi. Unfortunately, Kumbu wants Kwame Brown to grab more rebounds, and Randolph can help get stuck, but Kirilenko can't do this.

In the offensive round of the Philadelphia 76ers, Kwame Brown obediently pulled out to the three-point line.

Witherspoon was speechless. Are all the centers under Comb so weird?Offensively running to shoot threes?

His height is obviously too small in front of Kwame Brown. In the next second, Kwame Brown made a three-pointer and scored easily.

Dazhi and Lao Deng wore a pair of pants, and they were so close that they could share everything. He must have learned some news from Lao Deng.

So even if Witherspoon can't defend Kwame Brown's three-pointer at all, he has no intention of going up to help change defenses.

On the offensive end, only Witherspoon is there to defend. Kwame Brown has almost no pressure. As long as he has the ball in his hand, he can throw three-pointers. point.

On the rebounding side, don't even think about offensive rebounds. After all, how can he get offensive rebounds when he floats outside and shoots three-pointers.

But there is no problem with defensive rebounds. The big fat Randolph helps him get a card at the basket, and Big Zhi puts water from time to time, so rebounds are naturally indispensable.

At the end of the game, the Philadelphia 76ers lost, mainly because Big Zhi was too clueless. He scored 49 points on Fatty Lan tonight, and his scoring efficiency was quite good.

Parker on the 76ers' side directly misfired. Facing the defense of the old monster Payton, it is not normal to not misfire.

If Yao Ming was on the court, even if he didn't score, he could use breakthrough points to help the team score points. But now that Yao Ming is not present, even if he breaks through, he doesn't know who to give the points to.

Although the team lost, Kumbu was all smiles, because Kwame Brown's data was so good that it was a bit exaggerated.

Played 38 minutes tonight and scored 36 points and 21 rebounds. These are no longer the data of a first-line center, but the data of super giants.

He made 20 three-pointers and scored 9 of them. In addition, he also scored a lot of free throws and baskets.

Randolph had to get him at least 21 of his 10 rebounds.

In any case, after tonight's game, Kwame Brown is completely backed up.
