NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Before Combe entered the league, Malone played for more than ten years in his career. Regardless of how much he hurt people, even if he almost elbowed Thomas to the fart, his total suspensions were only three or four. field.

In recent years, he has been suspended for at least [-] games just because of the conflict with Kumbu.

Faced with such a disparity in the number of suspended games, the Jazz didn't say anything this time, and they didn't dare to say anything. If they really expressed their dissatisfaction, the devil would know what kind of tricks Stern has waiting for them.

Erpang and Jill's combat effectiveness on the field made all teams in the league recognize the terrifying combat effectiveness of this Bobcats.

It seems that the Bobcats are harmless to humans and animals. If they are really impatient, teams like the Jazz will suffer a lot.

After this battle, Er Fatty rose to fame and attracted the attention of countless fans.

In the next few games, Er Pang kept starting because of Ao Pang's absence. With the help of the speed calibration device, Er Pang's performance was quite impressive.

After a few games, he averaged 12 points and 9 rebounds per game. The statistics are not explosive, but his performance on the field is indeed good enough, especially on the defensive end. His ghostly speed coupled with powerful tonnage and strength, the league None of the inside players can break through his defense.

After Ao Pang returned from injury, the Bobcats got back on track. Two months later, the annual All-Star Weekend began.

The Bobcats led by Comb this year are not the best in the East, so he is not eligible to lead the team to the All-Star team.

Bobcats Neo Pang and Hill were selected to the All-Star lineup, and Bosh and Hinrich's data is actually not bad. If they are placed in the West, they also have a chance to be selected.

It's a pity that the competition in the East is too fierce. Kumbu has been stationed in the East for more than six years, and he has brought countless stars to the East.

Even O Pang's level, after arriving in the Eastern Conference, he had to play as a substitute for Yao Ming.

However, under normal circumstances, Ao Pang originally served as a substitute for Yao Ming. The difference is that under normal circumstances, he was a substitute in the West, but now he has become a substitute in the East.

Hill is great, he directly became the top voter of this All-Star.

Hill's performance this season has awakened the dusty memories of his old fans. The once popular super small forward is back.

If you have to choose one of the characters of the Three Kingdoms to evaluate Hill, then Zhao Zilong may be the most suitable one, with a white horse and silver spear, personable, powerful, and good-looking.

Such a romantic figure has returned to his peak period under Kongbu and averaged a triple-double per game. How could his popularity be low.

This year's All-Star Weekend, Combe didn't join in the fun. He knew very well that neither O'Pang nor Hill would be able to win this year's All-Star MVP.

Ao Pang is a substitute, and his playing time is not expected to be much, and Hill is a buddhist temperament who does not fight or grab.

At the end of the All-Star Game, to Kumbu's surprise, Bosh won the MVP of the Rookie Challenge.

You must know that this class of rookies is amazing. Among them are James, Anthony and Wade. Bosh's ability to win the MVP is not easy.

After the All-Star Weekend, there is less than a week left before the trading market closes.

Teams that intend to make lineup adjustments have seized the last week, and Kumbu's Bobcats have attracted the attention of many teams.

Er Fatty has become a super sweet potato in the trading market.

It is true that his statistics are not very eye-catching, and his offensive ability and rebounding ability are not top-notch, but the terrifying speed he showed in that month, and his defensive ability that has always been strong, considering that he is only a high school rookie , Many teams think that Kumbu has picked up another baby bump this time that does not lose to Xiao Ao.

It even looks more attractive than Xiao Ao. After all, Xiao Ao's defense at the basket is not top-notch, and Er Pang's defense potential at the basket is much stronger than Xiao Ao.

The Los Angeles Clippers were the first to approach Combe.

This season, the Clippers' management has also undergone a large-scale change of blood. The Lakers' Jerry West has left, and the Clippers' Baylor has also been fired.

Lord Baylor's place was replaced by old Dunleavy, an old acquaintance of Combs.

"Kong, we are old friends."

"The unhappiness you had with the Clippers before, with Elkin's departure, it can be regarded as an end."

Dunleavy didn't mention the deal at the beginning, but first talked about the past.

"Mike, we are so familiar, just talk directly if you have anything to do."

"We can't hide anything from you, Kong, we want to trade you for Kendrick Perkins."

"The chip given is Elton Brand, what do you think?"

Old Dunleavy got straight to the point and stated his purpose.

"Single change?" Kong Bu asked with a frown.

The No. 20 pick Brand entered the league later than Combe, and now he is considered a half rookie. He is in the prime of his life, with an average of 10 points and [-] rebounds per game. Is the Clippers willing to trade it for the second one?
To be reasonable, with Er Fatty's current state, he won't be able to score 20 points and 10 rebounds in a few years.

"Ahem, of course it's not a single exchange."

"Perkins has great potential, but Elton is a proven star after all."

"In addition, if you rob Perkins from Boston, you only have a second-round draft pick."

"If we trade Elton alone, we are really at a loss."

"I don't want the Lions to open their mouths. Why don't you take the Magic's 2004 draft pick in your hand and use it with Perkins to trade our Brand."

The old Dunleavy's words made Combe wonder if the old man had taken the wrong medicine.

With the current damn record of the Magic, there is at least a [-]% chance of getting the top three picks. The old Dunleavy let himself hold a pick that is likely to be the top three picks, plus a seemingly promising Er Fatty to trade Brand?

It's not that Brand is bad. How bad can a power forward who easily averages 20 points and 10 rebounds per game be?
If he could get Brand easily, Kumbu would wish for it.

It's a pity that the Magic's draft pick is likely to be the No. [-] pick. How could Kumbu trade with the No. [-] pick.

The value of the No. [-] pick is amazing. Even if Kumbu doesn't need it, he can trade the No. [-] pick for a lottery pick plus two bottom picks in the first round.

The No. [-] pick has produced parallel imports, but the No. [-] pick is more likely to be super big players such as Ao Pang, Yao Ming, and Olajuwon. On the whole, the probability of the No. [-] pick becoming a super giant is definitely higher than any other pick. , so how could the value of the No. [-] pick be low.

In the entire history of the NBA, there are only a few top picks in parallel imports, and the probability is less than 5.00%. The probability is 50.00% that you can select a moderate star. probability, that is a once-in-a-ten-year superstar.

This is the reason why Kongbu attaches so much importance to the Magic's draft pick. If the Magic can get the No. [-] pick, Kongbu will make a lot of money.

In addition, Kong Bu didn't think Erpang was similar to Brand, and even in certain situations, Erpang was better than Brand.

So it seems that there is no need to trade Er Fatty for Brand.

"Mike, I dare not trade with you. When you were coaching the Trail Blazers, I traded Jermaine O'Neal from you. You have hated me for at least three years, right?"

"Trading with you, if you lose money, you must feel uncomfortable, and if I lose money, I must also feel uncomfortable."

"For our friendship to last forever, I think let it go."

Kong Bu hung up the phone with a smile, and did not continue to break up with the old Dunleavy. This old Deng was more cautious than the old Deng of the Knicks.

Just after hanging up the old Dunleavy's phone, Kong Bu's cell phone rang again, and it was Carroll, the coach of Green Kai.

Kong Bu was taken aback, Carol called at this time, wouldn't it be because he wanted to take Er Fatty back?

When Kongbu was discussing with Auerbach before, Auerbach decided to give Erpang to Kongbu. Now if Lukai really wants to take Erpang back, Kongbu has a thin skin and can only return it to others.

However, Comb felt that it was unlikely. After all, it was Auerbach's promise. A big man of his rank is unlikely to break his promise.

In addition, there is an agreement between Kong Bu and Lu Kai to send three All-Stars. Unless Lu Kai has lost his mind, it is unlikely that he will not want three All-Stars for the sake of being fat.

"What's the matter, John? What happened?" Kong Bu asked curiously after answering the phone.

"Kong, something serious happened."

"I just learned from my former colleague of the Grizzlies that Jerry West is in contact with the Magic and seems to be interested in buying Tracy."

"Not only the Grizzlies, I heard that the Rockets are also negotiating with the Magic."

"Maybe the magic is afraid that you will know, so it is very secretive, and only some insiders know the news."

"You have the draft pick of the Magic in your hands. I think this news must be very important to you, so I will call you immediately."

Carol said in a hurried tone, he should have just heard the news, and immediately called Combe.

Kong Bu's heart warmed up. In order to prevent Rivers from getting involved with Lu Kai, he formed the Big Three and came forward to protect Carol for three years as Lu Kai's coach. Combe's little spy.

"John, thank you very much for this."

"This news is very important to me, very important."

"It's good that it's important to you. There's no need to thank me. If there's any further news, I'll call you again." Carol smiled.

After Kong Bu hung up the phone, his brows frowned.

This guy Rivers is really courageous, he really dared to sell McGrady.

If this makes him succeed, the Magic may really be able to improve their record. Although there is no possibility of entering the playoffs, Kumbu will definitely not have the No. [-] pick.

After pondering for a while, Kumbu decided to call McGrady and ask him what he thinks.

McGrady is recuperating at the moment. After receiving the call from Kongbu, his expression was ecstatic. He thought that Kongbu was picking him up for Charlotte.

"Coach, I really don't want to stay in Orlando anymore."

"But I will definitely not go to the Grizzlies. I have played in the Raptors for so long, and the Grizzlies are the ones I look down on the most."

"The Rockets can consider it, Houston is a good city."

McGrady said with regret that Kumbu didn't come to pick him up at all.

Kumbu knew that there were only two teams interested in McGrady at the moment. After all, McGrady was reimbursed for the season, and most teams would not dare to take the risk of trading him.

McGrady has the right to veto the transaction. If he doesn't want to go to the Grizzlies, the only next home is the Rockets.

Under normal circumstances, McGrady packs Juwan Howard, Tyronn Lue and Gaines after this season, and trades from the Rockets for Francis, the old cat Mobley and Kevin Cato .

This is something that McGrady can exchange for in a healthy state.

Comb guessed that the Rockets should trade Francis for Tracy McGrady alone, and maybe even let the Magic add some chips. After all, Francis is also an All-Star point guard, and the transaction value is also extremely high.

After thinking about it, Kong Bu had an evil idea in his heart.

If you want to get the No. [-] pick in the Magic, it is best to keep the Magic in the status quo, which requires Comb to disrupt the trade negotiations between the Magic and the Rockets.

The current coach of the Rockets is Jeff Van Gundy. He has cheated Konbu many times. Although he usually nods and greets Konbu, he must have a lot of resentment towards him.

Kumbu directly negotiated with Van Gundy Jr., which might strengthen his determination to trade with Van Gundy Jr.

That being the case, Kongbu decided to find another way, starting with the Rockets' assistant coach.

The Rockets now have three assistant coaches, one brought by Van Gundy, and the other two are not small, the gorilla Ewing and Thibodeau who is good at training defense.

Thibodeau's impression to Kumbu is that he always has a straight face, as if the whole world owes him 500 million. This kind of person is not easy to contact.

In Kong Bu's impression, Ewing is greedy for money and lustful, and this kind of person is born with traitor attributes.

In addition, Kong Bu and Ewing also have a little friendship. When the training camp was held before, Ewing sent his own children in for two years, and Kong Bu only received money for one year.

"Patrick, is it convenient to talk?"

Combe called Ewing.

"Kong? What's the matter with your sneaky tone? Is there a war? Are you a spy stationed in our country?" Ewing joked.

Kong Bu was speechless. It's hard to say whether he is a spy. Anyway, you Ewing will soon become a spy.

"We are old acquaintances, so I won't beat around the bush with you."

"I need you to do me a favor. After this is done, I can hire you to be the vice president of Bobcats, with an annual salary of no less than 200 million U.S. dollars."

"As long as I'm at the Bobcats for one day, you'll be the vice president forever."

Combe was the first to throw out the bait.

Ewing was stunned. He never dreamed that Kong Bu would have a day to ask him to do something, and he also gave such a generous reward.

The salary he earned in his career is actually a lot, as high as 1.2 million US dollars. It stands to reason that he doesn't need to work now, just be a rich man with peace of mind.

But he still came out to make money, went to the Rockets and started as an assistant coach, in order to become an executive of a certain team one day.

It's all right now, Kumbu let him do it in one step.

"Kong, you want me to assassinate the president?"

"If it's not about assassinating the president, no matter what you say, I think I can help you do it." Ewing directly patted his chest and promised. (end of this chapter)
