NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Chapter 339 Ma Long waved his elbow, someone will suffer a great crime
Carroll immediately told Cardinal Auerbach what Combe meant.

Currently, Green Kai does not have a general manager position, and Auerbach still decides on some of the more important matters within the team.

Auerbach was born in 1917 and is now over 80 years old. Even so, Lukai regards him as the backbone.

He said that there will never be a lap dance girl in Lukai's home court, unless he stepped on his dead body. Even if he passed away for more than ten years, Lukai still retains the tradition of not having a cheerleading team.

Under normal circumstances, Auerbach at this point in time has actually abdicated and passed the position to his lover Danny Ainge.

It's a pity that Danny Angie is still at the helm of the Suns at the moment, because of Yi Jianlian's reasons, he is reluctant to leave at all.

Yi Jianlian's performance is really full of reverie, and Angie is very sure that if he misses Yi Jianlian, it is impossible to let Yi Jianlian play for him in the future.

At seven o'clock the next morning, Combe's phone rang.

"Kong, I'm Arnold Auerbach, this may be our first official conversation."

Auerbach's weak voice came from the other end of the phone.

Comb clearly remembered that Auerbach passed away in 2006. At that time, more than 150 famous people in the league attended his funeral.

"Mr. Auerbach, it's an honor to speak with you."

Combe laughed.

"An honor? No, Kong, you are a more successful coach than me. If I were in your position, it would be almost impossible for me to achieve half of your achievements."

"I just wanted to ask you one thing."

Combe looked serious, and Auerbach's tone was very serious, which made Combe think that something happened.

"Does Perkins count among the three All-Stars you promised?" Auerbach asked feebly.

Kong Bu breathed a sigh of relief, "Of course not, Perkins' strength is not yet an All-Star."

"It's just that our Bobcats are short of a backup center right now, just to help you train this high school student."

"After one year of use, I will return him to you."

Auerbach laughed slowly, "Since it's not an All-Star, then you can keep it."

"You give us three All-Stars, we can't show nothing at all."

"I've seen the 60-year history of this league, and I know that asking for it will only tire people."

"The Boston Celtics are honored to have a friend like you."

……

After chatting with Auerbach for more than ten minutes, Combe sighed in his heart. It won't be long before this legend among legends will die forever.

The Bobcats did not win the game against the Green Kay easily. Fortunately, Hill was strong enough to limit Pierce's performance on the field.

O'Fat's absence has had an obvious impact on the Bobcats.

Fortunately, Combe finally solved the problem of the backup center. Before they left Boston, Combe and Carroll held a press conference.

The Bobcats sent the 2004 second-round pick from the Spurs in exchange for high school center Kendrick Perkins on the Green Kay bench.

This news is reminiscent of when Kumbu was in the Raptors, he was also traded to the high school insider Xiao Ao at a very low price.

Little Austria made great contributions to the Raptors Dynasty.

At present, Kumbu has changed to a high school insider. The 208 cm tall center does not seem to be a high match, but considering Kumbu's vision, Perkins still attracts the attention of countless fans.

When Perkins learned that he was traded to Combe, he was so happy that he went crazy, what a pie in the sky, this news was like a gold brick in the sky for him.

To join the Bobcats, he must be a substitute for Ao Pang. At this point, Perkins will not be arrogant enough to think that Ao Pang will be a substitute for himself.

The substitutes are different from the substitutes. Some substitutes are transferred and no one cares about them. Some substitutes will lead to looting by the league when they are transferred, and they can even sign a maximum salary contract. Such cases are not uncommon under Kong Bu. Bu has coached for so many years, and at least ten players on his bench have signed the maximum salary.

Originally, Lu Kai didn't give the second fat Perkins a lot of opportunities, which made Perkins doubt his ability and potential for a while, but now he doesn't doubt it at all. Kong Buqin appointed him, and his value is about to skyrocket.

For the Bobcats' next two away games, Combe started Perkins.

Perkins scored 6 points and 4 rebounds in the first game, and 5 points and 5 rebounds in the second game. His performance was very average. The only thing worthy of praise is the improvised defense at the basket.

Kumbu didn't expect much from Perkins, who just got it. After all, he is just a high school player, and he has not completed Kumbu's special training, and his strength is far from reaching his peak.

After returning to Charlotte, Oban also returned, and the Bobcats were back on track.

It's a pity that this right track didn't last long. By mid-January, Ao Pang was injured again, not a serious injury, but just a muscle strain, but he had to stop fighting for at least a week.

Getting older, that's all.

If it was the 22-year-old Ao Pang, this kind of injury would not be considered an injury to him at all.

Ao Pang is now 32 years old. Even if he wants to play with an injury, Kumbu will definitely not agree. If the injury gets worse and affects the playoffs, Konbu will find someone to reason with.

"Er Fatty, in the next week, you will start the game."

During the team training, Combe called Perkins in front of him.

It was not the first time for Perkins to hear Kongbu calling him fat. He had always been curious about why Kongbu gave himself such a nickname. Today he mustered up his courage and finally asked.

"Coach, can you tell me the special meaning of the nickname Fatty No. [-]?"

Kong Bu was stunned, and suddenly remembered that Er Fatty was a nickname given to him by domestic fans. It seems that no one on Laomei’s side called him that. His nickname on Laomei’s side was very abstract, swamp-thang, roughly It means swamp.

The main reason why domestic fans call him the second fat is because there was a big baby in the Green Kai team, Glenn Davis, also called Big Fatty. Perkins, who was a little thinner than him, was naturally the second fattest.

"Well, we already have a fat man in our team."

"You are the second fat man, so it's okay to call you the second fat man?"

Combe forcefully explained.

Er Pang nodded. The fat man that Kong Bu mentioned was naturally O'Neill. He was a little smaller than Ao Pang.

This nickname is not pleasant, but after all, it can be related to O'Neill, and Er Fatty happily accepted it.

"What I want to tell you is not your nickname, but your job tonight."

"Tonight we are playing against the Utah Jazz. I am going to let you face Karl Malone. This game is your battle of fame. You must seize the opportunity."

Er Pang was shocked by Kong Bu's words.

"Coach, you want me to face Malone, the postman?"

"I'm not afraid of him elbowing me, but I'm worried that I won't be able to guard him, let him play the best statistics, and then make you lose face."

"Bosh's speed is much better than mine. He seems to be more suitable to mark Malone?"

Er Fatty has a silly face, but his brain is very shrewd. He is very clear about his strengths and weaknesses.

The strengths are sufficient strength and tonnage, and he has good defensive ability at the basket. The shortcoming is his slow speed. He is suitable for stance defense, and his shortcoming is full-court marking.

"Who said Bosh's speed is better than yours? You have the most powerful speed among inside players in the league. Whether it's Garnett or Webber, they can only eat ashes behind your ass."

"You kid wouldn't even dare to guard against an old guy who is looking to retire?"

Kong Bu asked with a frown.

The reason why he asked Er Fatty to single-handedly defend Malone was because Bosh was too brittle, and the skinny body made people worry. Kumbu was worried that Malone would elbow Bosh to the west.

Er Pang's skin is rough and his flesh is thick, and he won't take it seriously if Ma Long comes for a few elbows.

On the other hand, Kong Bu is going to bind the speed calibration device to Er Fatty today. This thing is useless, and it is a waste not to bind it.

After binding the speed calibration device, Er Fatty's speed can reach a terrifying 93 points. Looking at the entire league, only a few players such as Iverson who rely on speed can achieve this attribute.

With rough skin and thick flesh, large tonnage, strong strength, and frighteningly fast speed, it will definitely make old Malone drink a pot.

Er Pang's face is full of confusion, and he has top speed?When did this happen?

When the night's game started, Jerry Sloan led the Utah Jazz to enter the arena.

They just entered the arena, and immediately ushered in crazy boos from Charlotte fans.

Charlotte fans have no grudges with the Jazz. When the Hornets were in Charlotte, they did not have a serious conflict with the Jazz.

The reason why the fans booed the Jazz was entirely because of Combe. After all, who doesn't know that Combe and the Jazz have never had any contact with each other.

At the beginning of last season, in order to ease the relationship with Comb, Jerry Sloan hired Comb's assistant, the man with gold glasses, as the team coach.

This season, Utah Shuangsha returned to the Jazz. Sloan fired the man with gold glasses and returned to the coaching position. It seems that he is going to lead the Jazz to the last fight.

Comb squinted at Sloan and Utah Shuangsha, and he had a feeling that the game tonight might not be very peaceful.

In recent years, Kumbu has rarely encountered large-scale events, and he even has some expectations in his heart.

"Dudududu!"

With the whistle of the referee, the starters of both sides began to appear.

Bosh executed the jump ball and won the first offensive possession for the Bobcats.

After Hinrich controlled the ball to the frontcourt, he distributed the ball to Hill.

After receiving the ball, Hill dribbled a few steps, directly set up a pick-and-roll, and passed the ball behind his back to Hinrich who was running.

Hinrich raised the knife and made a precise three-pointer.

Today, Hinrich has been in the league for some time, and his average three-point shooting percentage is 41%, which is not the first in the league, and even the top five in the league.

But he maintains a record, that is, the first three-pointer hit rate after the opening, he is as high as 54%.

After Hinrich scored, the ball was converted and it was the Jazz's offensive round.

The Jazz is still the same three axes, Stockton holds the ball, Malone cuts without the ball after the pick-and-roll, Stockton chooses to shoot himself, or distribute the ball to Malone, in fact Malone is being watched, there is no room for passing the ball, Stor Cotton will choose to pass the ball to the national father-in-law Jeff Hornacek waiting outside the three-point line.

It's a pity that Hornacek has retired now, the Jazz no longer has such a top marksman, and the replacement for Hornacek is Gordon Kirisek, a second-round pick selected by the Mavericks in 99, with three-point ability Not too bad, with a hit rate of about 36%.

Malone stepped up to the pick-and-roll, and he quickly realized something was wrong.

Facing Comb's team, of course the Jazz had carefully studied the Bobcats' lineup before the game. Under normal circumstances, it must be Bosh who came to mark him.

But now it is Perkins who is marking him.

Malone didn't think much about it, it seemed that it was not a bad thing for Perkins to mark him, and he could get more shots.

This kind of thinking only existed for a few seconds, and Malone's face became serious, because he found that Perkins' speed was much faster than he thought.

I am now in an off-ball state, no matter how I dodge or run back and forth, I can't get rid of Perkins even a step.

Not to mention Ma Long, the person involved, Perkins himself was dumbfounded, he really felt like flying against the wind at this moment.

The fans at the scene were also stunned. Who would have thought that Er Fatty, who looked like a gas tank, would have such a speed.

The game lasted almost five or six minutes, and the Jazz were in a miserable state.

Ma Long was stuck by Er Pang, who was like a dog skin plaster. He couldn't find a chance to connect with the ball. His super fast speed made Er Pang extremely flexible. He could even make sure that Malone didn't leave him when he used the front defense against Malone. a position.

Jordan's eyes were staring straight. He had personally experienced the most glorious era of a center. He had never seen any top center before, except that he had never seen such a weird fat man.

Looking at Er Pang's gas tank-like figure, he is obviously a meat shield center forward, but his speed seems to be faster than the Admiral.

Ma Long has never been a vegetarian, and he was completely angered by Er Fatty tonight.

It's the Jazz's offensive round again.

Er Pang didn't give Ma Long any chance to catch the ball. After half a quarter of the game, Ma Long only took one shot and didn't hit it.

In a fit of rage, Ma Long took out his most reliable weapon.

He threw his elbow at Er Fatty's head behind him. If the elbow hit hard, a body like Bosh would have to be dragged to the ICU ward.

"boom!"

The elbow hit Erpang's cheek firmly.

Er Fatty had such rough skin and thick flesh, under such a heavy blow, he was only stunned for a moment, and then his face showed a ferocious expression that did not match his age.

Standing on the sidelines, Kong Bu burst into applause and laughter.

Somebody is going to suffer.

Ma Long is not a vegetarian, and Er Pang is even more ruthless. He has an extremely crazy record.

Erpang had a conflict with the manager in a nightclub in Texas, and then the manager called fifty boys to clean up Erpang.

Next, Erpang and Wusheng Jackson staged a magnificent 2V50 scene, and they didn't even suffer at all.

Ma Long shouldn't have done it, he shouldn't have moved his elbows without knowing the details of Er Fatty.
