NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Now that he has decided to start spending money, Jordan doesn't have so many worries, and he participated in this press conference again.

"The performance of our Bobcats tonight made me and Combe realize that the team still has a lot of shortcomings."

"That being the case, we decided to start investing more in the team."

"Our salary this season is only more than 2000 million US dollars, ranking first in the league, and only a quarter of that of the New York Knicks."

"This salary level is too low. In order to be responsible to the players and fans, we decided to increase investment."

"I still say that, this season I have very strong confidence to win the championship."

While Jordan was talking, he didn't forget to lose a piece of the Knicks' super high salary.

Comb sitting on the sidelines, certainly not as optimistic as Jordan.

Although it is sure to spend money, the NBA is not the five major football leagues, and it does not mean that if you are willing to spend money, you will definitely be able to introduce top stars.

The maximum salary of players and the salary cap of the team introduced by the NBA at the beginning were for the dominance of certain rich teams.

Comb began to scour his mind for potential players.

Those weaker All-Star players, such as Michael Finley, definitely don't need to be brought in. The combat power they can display on the court may not be stronger than Barbosa.

As for the quasi-all-star level, it is even more unnecessary. Kongbu has no shortage of quasi-all-star players right now.

If you want to introduce, you must introduce the kind of superstar who can make a final decision.

The first thing Kumbu thought about was to introduce Duncan.

The relationship between the two has always been very good, and they usually send a message when there is nothing to do. When the two sides play games, the one from the home team will definitely treat guests to dinner.

Combe called Duncan directly.

"How are you doing, Tim?"

"How? Of course not. It's not like you don't know the situation of our team. The boss is reluctant to spend money, and there are no outstanding rookies in the draft."

"Even signings, no first-line players are willing to come to our San Antonio. After all, this is a city that cannot be smaller."

Duncan sighed.

San Antonio is actually not too small. With a population of more than 100 million, it is the seventh most populous city in the United States. However, the economy is not developed and there is almost no nightlife. Of course, young players do not want to come here.

"Tim, do you want to come to our Charlotte?"

Kong Bu didn't hide it, and asked straight to the point.

These words startled Duncan, "Kong, isn't this too sudden? You just asked directly?"

"Damn it, why didn't you ask me that question sooner."

"A month ago, I was a free agent. If you asked me at that time, I would have reported to Charlotte immediately."

"It's a pity that I have now renewed my contract with the Spurs for five years, and there is no way for me to leave the Spurs."

"And I don't really want to leave. If the Spurs don't have me, they are too pitiful."

During the offseason, Duncan was indeed a super big fish in the free market. At that time, Combe didn't think so much, and he didn't think about seducing Deng Dadai.

After the season started, it seemed too late for him to try to seduce Deng Daidai again.

Duncan's significance to the Spurs is difficult to describe in words. If the value of the Spurs is 100, then Duncan must occupy at least 80!

Without Duncan's Spurs, they were not even as good as the Jazz last season.

Now that the entire league has been counted, the only player who can really replace Duncan alone may be Yao Ming, neither O'Fang nor Garnett, because the salaries of these two are too high for the Spurs.

In the Bobcats lineup, even if Hill, who is currently playing so well, is brought out to replace Duncan alone, the Spurs will definitely not agree.

With Duncan, no matter how bad the lineup is, the teammates are all at the CBA level, at least the Spurs can enter the playoffs and get the playoff dividends.

With a group of CBA teammates for Hill, can he guarantee to make the playoffs?It seems unlikely.

The point is that Kumbu is also reluctant to sell Hill. If there is no Hill, only one Duncan is also not the Knicks' opponent.

"Okay, let's wait another five years." Kong Bu could only say with a wry smile.

After contacting Duncan, Comb didn't call Popovich to make an offer at all, because he knew that no matter what offer he made, the Spurs would never agree.

Duncan is out of the game, so the super giants in the league right now include O'Pang, Yao Ming, Garnett, Nowitzki, Tracy McGrady, Kobe, Iverson, Carter, the United Arab Emirates, and the Knicks' twin towers, etc. wait.

These people are all super powerful, the kind of existence that can change the level of the team alone.

There is no need to think about the Knicks twin towers, Lao Deng is not so confused.

Ah Lian doesn't have to think about it, even if Ah Lian comes, the Suns can't let him go, even if Kumbu gives all the Bobcats players to the Suns, they will not agree to a deal.

It is really that the UAE has given the Suns too much reverie, the regular season MVP of the rookie season, and this season their Suns even hope to win the championship under the leadership of the UAE.

Right now, everything in the entire Suns team is structured around the United Arab Emirates, and he is the absolute cornerstone.

In Philadelphia's Yao-Ai combination, Iverson is not very suitable for this Bobcats. If Yao Ming is concerned, Comb doesn't want him to be a bad guy.

There is actually only one way for a star under contract to leave the team, and that is to force the management.

Whether it's like Carter who didn't work hard in the game and revealed his own tactics to the opponent, or caught the team's management and scolded him like Kobe, anyway, if you want to leave the team, you have to force the palace.

When the team didn't feel sorry for the players, this kind of forced palace seemed a bit heartless. The 76ers treated Yao Ming better than their ancestors, and there was really no place to feel sorry for Yao Ming.

Especially after Carlesimo came, this super Yao Chuan Kennedy was sitting in a convertible car, and his mind was wide open. He even started to try Princeton 2.0 tactics.

Although the normal Princeton system is also a center for distributing the ball, the five players on the field are actually the protagonists.

And Carlesimo, who used to be an assistant coach under Adelman, made this Princeton 2.0 very weird. Yao Ming became a point guard at the basket. Everyone had to hand over the ball to Yao Ming, and then Yao Ming for a secondary distribution.

This caused Yao Ming's assist data to skyrocket. After the first few games, Yao Ming's average assists per game has reached 9.

He averaged 35 points, 17 rebounds and 9 assists per game. The statistics seem to scare people to pee their crotch.

Under such circumstances, if Yao Ming forced the 76ers management to sell him, it would be too inhuman.

However, forcing the palace sometimes does not necessarily mean unconscionable performance. What is really unconscionable is the kind that waits until the end of the contract and leaves the team without saying a word.

If forced to trade, at least the team can get back a lot of bargaining chips. If they run away secretly, the team won't even get a hair.

Nowitzki is not very suitable for this Bobcats. If Combe has a big book in his hands, he would consider introducing an old German driver.

The old driver must be paired with a strong blue-collar insider. This is a fixed match. No matter which coach coaches, this match must be used.

It's a pity that the old driver's teammates are not lucky, and the highest-end blue-collar partner he has partnered with throughout his career is Chandler.

Kumbu doesn't have any blue-collar insiders. Even if he gets Nowitzki, his overall combat power against the Bobcats will not improve.

The transaction value of McGrady and Kobe is also extremely high, that is, the guarantee of the box office, and it is impossible for their respective teams to sell them.

In addition, Kumbu has Hill, who has the right to eat the ball, and it is not appropriate to ask McGrady or Kobe.

After doing the calculations like this, the only ones that Kumbu can introduce are Oban and Garnett.

Oban is of course the best choice. If he can get him, Combe is really confident that he can crush the Knicks.

For Garnett, it’s a bit difficult. He overlaps with Bosh. Although Garnett doesn’t say he can’t play a center, he doesn’t want to play a center. Otherwise, there’s no need to lie about his height in the draft. .

If Garnett is really introduced, then Kumbu will have to find a serious center to partner with Garnett, which is a bit troublesome.

After thinking about it for a while, Kong Bu called Ao Pang directly.

The two have fought countless times over the years. In the past few years, Kumbu has been using shark-slashing tactics against Ao Pang, and Ao Pang simply hates Kon Bu.

But later the relationship between the two eased a lot. Out of his own career considerations, Ao Pang once secretly expressed to Kongbu that he wanted to become a Kongbu player.

"Shaq, would you like to come to Bobcats?"

"As long as you are willing to come, the first championship of your career will be won soon."

After Kong Bu got on the phone, he didn't wait for Ao Pang to speak, and directly stated his intention for coming.

Ao Pang was dumbfounded. Is Kong Bu already so lawless?Has the illegal recruitment of players been so blatant?
During the season, it is obviously against the rules to call directly to recruit players like Kumbu. If caught by the league, a fine of hundreds of thousands of dollars will not escape.

But this kind of thing is Schrödinger's violation. If someone knows, it is a violation. If no one knows, it is not a violation.

"Kong, are you serious?"

After a moment of silence, Ao Pang asked cautiously.

"Of course it's true. We lost to the Knicks because the inside lineup couldn't handle them."

"If you come, I have the confidence to crush the Knicks."

"Just say whether you are coming or not, and give me an attitude quickly."

"I'm still waiting to reply to Kevin. If you don't want to come, I will introduce Kevin."

Kong Bu urged anxiously.

Ao Pang is stupid, Kevin?Which Kevin, wouldn't it be Kevin Garnett in the forest?

If other coaches said such things to him, Ao Pang would definitely scoff at him, but he knew what Kongbu was capable of, and he knew very well that Kongbu didn't need to lie to himself.

"Kong, this is too sudden."

"You have to give me time to think about it. Everyone proposes at least a ceremony. Just call me and let me work for you."

Ao Pang wanted to win the championship and thought of going crazy. The most dominant center in history without a championship in his hand sounds very weird.

But he really wanted to stay in Los Angeles.

After receiving the call from Kong Bu, he was extremely conflicted.

"What marriage proposal? This is work, and what I want is a quick solution."

"I'll give you ten seconds to think about it!"

"10!"

"9!"

"8!"

"..."

"Stop! I'll go, can't I go?"

"Damn it, it looks like I'm going to be a bad guy again this time."

In the end, Ao Pang couldn't resist the temptation of the championship. Kumbu had just counted a few times, and he quickly agreed, for fear that Konbu would go back on his word.

"Okay, then you should apply for a trade with your team first these few days."

"Then I'll make an offer to the Lakers."

"How to operate, you have been in this league for 11 years, you must know how to do it."

Kong Bu didn't say it clearly, the meaning was nothing more than to ask Ao Pang to force the palace management.

……

Oban was impatient, so he went to Jerry West that night.

West's eyes were about to pop out when he heard about the trade application proposed by O'Pang. He knew that the relationship between O'Pang and Kobe had reached the point of dire straits, but he didn't expect that O'Pang had already given birth to the idea of ​​leaving.

Of course he didn't want to, let Ao Pang think about it.

It's a pity that Ao Pang has decided to go, he knows very well that his peak period is not long.

He entered the league in 92, and it's already the end of 2003. It's amazing that he can still have three years of peak time.

If he failed to win the championship at his peak, then it would be meaningless for him to win the championship as a veteran.

Just joining the Bobcats this year, he has three years left in his peak period, and then he will follow the Bobcats to establish a dynasty and win three championships!
"No! Jerry, I must go!"

"Don't doubt my determination to leave the Lakers. I would rather be suspended and fined by the league, and I will definitely not play even one minute for the Lakers."

O'Fang's attitude was extremely firm.

West didn't take it too seriously, thinking that O'Fang had suffered from childish illness, and he would be fine in a few days.

But on the evening of the next day, he suddenly received an email from Comb about a trade offer from Comb in his e-mail. West, who had been in the league for decades, immediately knew what had happened.

It must be that Kumbu got in touch with Ao Pang in private, which made Ao Pang give birth to the idea of ​​leaving the Lakers.

West almost exploded in anger. He has been trading all his life, and he has operated many wonderful deals, but this time he became the target of others?
He deliberately ignored Kong Bu, as if this incident had never happened, after all, he didn't want to tear himself apart with Kong Bu.

But Ao Pang was not forgiving, so he really didn't play. In the next game of the Lakers, Ao Pang didn't show up on the sidelines.

The Lakers have to make up for O'Pang, saying that O'Pang was unwell and missed the game.

Ao Fat didn't care about this, he called reporters for a press conference, and announced that he had submitted a trade application to the Lakers.

As soon as this news came out, it directly detonated the league. Is O'Pang going to leave the Lakers?This is a great opportunity for many teams to change their destiny.

West is about to vomit blood from anger, and O'Fang's determination makes it difficult for him to ride a tiger now.

He found the email he had deleted from his e-mail, the quotation email sent by Combe.

David - West plus Kapono, salary balance said another, by the Bobcats here to solve.

West's eyes darkened, and Combe was simply deceiving people too much. Is this offer a beggar?Beggars feel poor. (end of this chapter)
