NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Chapter 317 Boss, help me

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the Charlotte Bobcats won the first game in history, winning the Clippers by 118 points with a score of 101:17.

This was the last time Kumbu showed mercy and showed some sympathy to his direct coach Dennis, otherwise the point difference tonight would be at least [-] points away.

Hill's performance cannot be described in words, it is absolutely enchanting.

It's not the first day for Comb to know Hill. He has played against Hill many times when he was in the Raptors, and he even thought about getting Hill under his own hands.

Hill was really strong back then, but definitely not as strong as today.

Comb felt that the Bobcats teammates were much better than the Pistons at the time, which may be an important reason why Hill played well tonight.

In addition, with the league's top three-point shooting ability, Hill's lethality is more powerful, and opponents can't target him. This is also an important reason why Hill can explode in an all-round way.

37分15篮板15助攻5抢断1盖帽。

Among them, the scoring of 37 points does not seem to be particularly high, but the shooting rate is extremely high, including 7 of 4 three-pointers, 14 of 10 two-pointers, and 7 of 5 free throws.

He scored 21 points in just 37 shots. With Hill's touch tonight, if he wants to score more points, even scoring [-] points is definitely not a problem.

In addition to the 37 points scored, Hill also had 15 assists, and these 15 assists made his teammates on the court extremely comfortable.

Even though Iverson often averaged 15 assists per game before, Iverson's assist ability is incomparable to Hill's.

Iverson relies more on breaking through and passing the ball to Yao Ming, relying on Yao Ming's high shooting percentage at the basket to get assists.

To say that Iverson can revitalize the team's offensive rhythm is a bit too flattering to Iverson, after all, he is not a real point guard.

But Hill is different. It can be seen that his desire to pass the ball is very strong. Because he is much taller than Iverson, his passing vision is better, and the overall situation is also excellent. He is the real offensive engine on the court. .

If Combe were to find a player to describe Hill tonight, Combe would choose Kidd, and Hill is Kidd with a burst of offensive firepower.

"I am more and more fortunate to have selected you in the military expansion draft. This may be the most exciting operation of my entire career."

At the end of the game, when the players left the field, Combe went straight up and gave Hill a hug.

This compliment made Hill's heart elated. He didn't expect his status in Combe's mind to be so high.

Kumbu is not an ordinary person. In his short coaching career of just over six years, he did not need too many magical operations.

Now that Combe said that selecting Hill was the best operation of his coaching career, how could Hill be unhappy.

Jordan didn't say much from the sidelines. Hill's performance tonight was impeccable, and he couldn't pick faults even if he wanted to.

Instead of praising Hill, Jordan was full of interest in Barbosa.

Barbosa scored 28 points tonight, the second highest scoring player in the game. His shooting percentage was not as good as Hill's, but it still reached 55%.

With excellent running awareness, accurate shooting, and being a young man who just played a game, Jordan suddenly wanted to train Barbosa well.

If Hill can fully recover, then Hill will naturally be the signature player of the Bobcats, but what if Hill is short-lived?Jordan felt that Barbosa was qualified to replace Hill and become the Bobcats' signature.

"Kong, this kid is not bad, I want it."

Jordan pointed to Barbosa not far away and yelled loudly.

What Kumbu said is inexplicable, you want it?Isn't he your player?

"Michael, are you awake?"

"Have you forgotten your identity as the owner of the Bobcats? He is a Bobcats player, what else do you want? Send him to your hotel room?" Combe joked.

Jordan shook his head, "I mean, I want to train and train this kid myself."

"You are a little short, but fortunately, you have good athletic ability and good plasticity. I am confident that I can make you the second Rock Richmond."

Richmond is the second best shooting guard in Jordan's mind besides himself, and Richmond's height is also short.

Kumbu directly said that he was stunned. He never dreamed that Barbosa could be associated with Richmond.

These two people are clearly incomparable style of play.

Barbossa's defense is not much better than Nash's. Fortunately, he is now playing the No. 191 position. When facing those small point guards, he can at least use his [-] cm height advantage to defend against shots.

If he was going to play the second position, he would have to explode if he ran into big players like Kobe and McGrady.

And Richmond's defense, well, Richmond's defense may not be very strong, but at least it is better than Barbosa.

"Michael, are you kidding me, he will be the second Richmond?" Combe asked angrily.

"Huh? Kong, you're questioning my vision for shooting guards?"

"In other respects, I can agree with you. Even if you say the earth is flat, I will admit it. But regarding shooting guards, I think you'd better listen to me."

When Jordan said this, he was full of domineering, exuding confidence all over his body.

Kong Bu could only nod his head, there was no other way, who made this old hooligan in front of him the god of shooting guards?
Barbosa hasn't figured out the situation yet. He thinks his good luck has come. After being spotted by Jordan, he will be trained to be a super shooting guard, and then he will sign a maximum salary, endorse Nike Adidas sneakers, and get With the sky-high endorsement fee, maybe I also have the opportunity to share the same bed with the national treasure supermodel Lima.

……

In addition to Hill and Barbosa, several other Bobcats rookies have performed well.

Bosh scored a double-double of 11 points and 10 rebounds tonight. As a rookie's debut, this data is already good.

David West scored 8 points and 6 rebounds. The statistics are not good, but his performance on the court is not bad. At least Comb is very satisfied.

Josh Howard's statistics were even worse, only 4 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist, but when he was off the court, Combe still gave him a hug and praised him a lot.

The main reason is that Josh Howard did a good job on the defensive end tonight. He allowed Maggette to only score 17 points.

You must know that Maggette is the absolute core of the Clippers' perimeter offense. When he failed to score more than 20 points, why did the Clippers win.

Right now, Comb wants to train Josh Howard into a defensive leader like Gerrard, who specializes in defending the core of the opponent's outside attack.

This role requires a lot of dedication and sacrifice, so no matter how ugly Josh Howard's data is, Combe will never say anything.

Kapono and Korver, two pure three-point shooters, played for a long time tonight. I don’t know if Korver was too nervous. He made three three-pointers on the field, all of which were ironed, but he can run The enthusiasm is very high, and Kumbu also praised it a lot.

Kapono's performance was much better than Comb expected.

Under normal circumstances, although Korver and Kapono have the same style of play, Korver must be more valuable.

But Kapono took 4 three-pointers tonight, and hit 3 of them. His performance was amazing.

Comb thought it might be that the Clippers team had too many muscle bumps and lacked defensive flexibility, which gave Kapono a chance to make a shot.

A hearty victory directly made the Bobcats rush to the headlines of the next day.

Whether it is an expert or a fan, they all believe that the Bobcats will go through at least two months of novice running-in period, even if no one will question Kumbu's ability to build a team, but such a completely new team, it will take time to grow. ?

As a result, no one expected that in the first game in team history, the Bobcats abused the Clippers as easily as abused their son.

Even if the Clippers are not a strong team, they also have many veterans who are good at fighting, and they are completely lost in front of the new army Bobcats.

After winning the Clippers, Combe led the Bobcats to the Washington Wizards.

Jordan returned directly to Charlotte, and there was really no need for him to continue to get involved in the next road trip.

During the offseason of the Wizards, the management underwent a major change.

When Jordan was in the Wizards before, he decided to invite his mentor Doug Collins to the Wizards to coach. After Jordan left the Wizards, Collins was helpless in the Wizards and was fired directly.

The current coach who succeeds Collins is Eddie Jordan. He was the coach of the Kings for two years in 97, and then the coach was taken away by Adelman.

After the game on the court started, Kumbu wanted to laugh more and more.

The Wizards management is really weird, and they don't know what's going on in their minds.

They may want to form an outside trident lineup, so they used the outside configuration of Arenas, Stackhouse and Larry Hughes.

Looking at them, they are actually quite high-end, at least they are all famous people.

But it happens that these three guys are the masters of the ball, and they can't play when they don't have the ball in their hands.

The three of them grab a ball, and as long as there is a chance, the three of them will never let go of the shot. No matter how bad the timing is, they will definitely bite the bullet and make a shot.

As a result, the hit rate of the three of them was less than [-]%.

Throughout NBA history, the top three in the team's scoring list all shot less than [-]%, and the Wizards are the only ones.

Playing against such a team, wanting to lose has become a luxury.

After only halftime, the Wizards were already behind by 26 points, and the game had basically entered garbage time.

But Eddie Jordan had no intention of surrendering at all, and continued to let the crooked Trident play indiscriminately.

To be reasonable, the scoring explosiveness of these three players is not bad. If all three players find their touch, it is possible to recover the 26 points after a lot of fighting.

It's a pity how the Bobcats on the field could give them a chance.

Hill defended Larry Hughes like he was dying, and Josh Howard didn't give Stackhouse any comfortable shots.

Even Barbosa defended well, and Arenas only scored 7 points in the first half.

Hill continued his all-round performance in the previous game, whether it was offense or defense, or organization and rebounding, they were all top of the line.

He even started to try to do pick-and-rolls for Barbosa, and the quality of the pick-and-rolls was frighteningly high, which made Barbosa explode again tonight.

By the end of the game, the Washington Wizards at home lost 37 points, and their final total score was only a poor 80 points.

All the crooked tridents played normally, and none of them had a hit rate of more than [-]%.

After the game, Combe walked onto the court to shake hands with the opponent.

Eddie Jordan looked displeased, and snorted coldly after shaking hands with Combe.

His cold snort was so small that he couldn't hear it if he didn't listen carefully, but Combe still heard it, and he shook his head and smiled. A small person like Eddie Jordan is really not worth taking him to go to war.

After shaking hands, Kumbu just wanted to lead the team back to the locker room when he was stopped by Okur.

When Jordan was in the Wizards before, he pestered Comb for a long time and traded Okur to the Wizards with Kwame Brown.

In the first two years of coming to the Wizards, Okur lived a very good life, averaging about 20 points and 10 rebounds per game as a top center.

Coupled with his three-point ability and young age, many experts predict that it is only a matter of time before he enters the All-Star.

As a result, the good times didn't last long. In the second half of last season, Okur found that he had no possession of the ball in his hands.

The crooked Trident doesn't have enough possession of the ball, so how could he pass the ball to Okur again.

The key point is that Okur's rebounding ability is not very strong. He only averages two or three offensive rebounds per game. Even if he grabs an offensive rebound, he may not be able to make a smooth shot.

As a result, Okur has only 7 shots per game left, and his scoring average has gradually dropped to about 10 points per game.

Directly shrunk by half!
"Boss, help me!"

"Let me stay on this team, I feel like I'm really going to be a waste."

Okur took Kumbu's hand and began to ask for help.

Kongbu was speechless. During the match just now, Okur kept looking at him with strange eyes, but he didn't expect it to be because of this incident.

Of course, saving Okur is not impossible, but if you want to trade Okur, you must send other players to the Wizards to suffer.

The current situation of the Wizards is like this, even if Ao Pang is here, I am afraid that his score will be 20 points.

"Mehmet, bear with it, you only have this season left on your rookie contract."

"You can run away after the contract is over."

"You asked me to save you. If it was last season, I could do it, but now the Bobcats are poor and white, and they are really powerless."

Combe said with a sigh.

Okur could only nod helplessly. He was just looking forward to the end of this season. It would be too much torture to stay on the Wizards, a damn team.

And he swore that even if he died of poverty, he would never sign with any Trident team.

……

The first game of team history was a big victory, and the second game was a bloodbath against the Washington Wizards. The Bobcats' combat power has already made every team in the league terrified.

Magic Rivers is almost remorseful now. If he knew that Hill could return to the top, he would never give Hill to Kongbu for nothing.

You must know that in the previous two games, Hill averaged 33 points, 13 rebounds and 14 assists per game, which is much better than McGrady.
