NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

At the time when Oban and Pippen were at war, Combe was not in the locker room. He was taking Slee and Hinrich to the press conference.

Because the team lost, Ao Pang and others didn't want to face the reporters' doubts, so they didn't attend tonight's press conference.

Seeing that the two were about to fight, the good old Grant Hill hurried over to be a peacemaker.

"We are teammates and we should stick together and help each other."

"This is only the first game of the Eastern Conference semifinals. If you have such conflicts, how can we win the next game?"

Hill hugged Ao Pang, but said to Pippen with his head.

"Solidarity and mutual assistance? Is there anyone who is so united and helpful?"

"Even if I was by Jordan's side and missed three shots in a row, Jordan couldn't find anything wrong with me."

"You, a guy who got zero seals from Rodman, what qualifications do you have to say about me?"

"We shouldn't have stopped him and let him beat you to death on the pitch."

Pippen still didn't calm down, and brought up the old story again, referring to the embarrassing incident of O'Pang in 1996.

One season before Comb entered the league, O'Pang got a 7-year contract with the Lakers at a sky-high price of 1.2 million U.S. dollars. This made Rodman, who had just helped the Bulls win the championship, extremely dissatisfied, because his contract was only 900 million.

When the Bulls played against the Lakers in the regular season, O'Pang didn't score zero in the whole game, but did not score a single point against Rodman.

On the court, the anxious O'Pang had a conflict with Rodman. Jordan and Pippen held Rodman back and did not make the situation worse.

After the game, Rodman naturally ridiculed O'Pang, and O'Pang also said that famous stalk, my grandma and Jordan can win the championship together.

What Opang said is actually unreasonable, because before Rodman joined the Bulls, he had already won countless honors in the Pistons, two championships, two DPOYs, All-Stars, first team defense, best team, rebounds Wang, Yue Best, etc., O'Pang made what Rodman said worthless.

"Are you ashamed to mention Jordan? My grandma played with Jordan. They both won six championships and established at least two dynasties."

"What about you? If it weren't for being played around by Kumbu in 1997, the Bulls would have missed the second dynasty?"

O'Pang's mouth is also poisonous. In the 97 Finals, Combe led the Raptors against the Bulls, ending the Bulls' second dynasty with an absolute dark horse.

The fact that the Bulls lost the championship has little to do with Pippen. It is the Bulls' insiders who are really responsible.

Ao Pang doesn't care about this, he just picks up what to say that can hurt Pippen the most.

"I have at least five championships in my hand, how about you? You have a hair!"

"Don't tell me that you can win the championship under Kumbu. I am also a member of the Bobcats. If you can have one more championship, I will also have one more championship. I just have five more championships than you."

Pippen began to feel disgusted by the number of championships.

"Are you a member of the Bobcats? Are you sure that Combe will want you next season?"

"You kind of thing, even if you lose money, no team will want you."

The two are now in a stage of hurting each other, and they are attacking each other with the most vicious words.

After Kumbu finished the press conference, he led Sly and Hinrich back to the locker room. When they reached the gate, they heard the sound of the two arguing.

In an instant, a surge of anger rose in Kong Bu's heart. The team had just lost, and the two started to fight each other.

Team infighting has always been Kumbu's bottom line, and every player he has coached knows this.

Kongbu kicked open the locker room door, and the moment he stepped into the locker room, the system task was triggered.

"Congratulations to the host, trigger the system task "Back to the Light"."

"Task goal: Arrange for Scottie Pippen to play no less than 45 minutes in the next two games."

"Task reward: After two games meet the playing time, Pippen will return to the top in the next ten games."

Kumbu was stunned, this task was really outrageous.

Said to be the mission goal, in fact, the system did not set any threshold at all, just let Pippen play 45 minutes on the court.

It didn't ask Pippen what kind of data to take, as long as he played 45 minutes on the court, he could meet the task goal.

The task rewards are pretty good, especially for the Bobcats right now, it is likely to affect the next trend of the Bobcats.

The title of the task is very appropriate, and the ten games rewarded may really be the last flashbacks of Pippen's career.

But it's hard to say, maybe there is a team of two fools, watching Pippen play well in the past ten games, and then giving him a high-paying contract is not sure.

This alliance will never lack smart people, and of course there will be no shortage of fools.

But even if the task is triggered, it is impossible for Comb to ignore this kind of infighting. Whether it is Oban or Pippen, they are challenging Comb's authority.

"Clap clap clap!"

"You scolded well. You two reminded me of the two black aunts I saw scolding each other in the street when I was in Philadelphia. They jumped up and slapped their thighs."

"Why did you stop? Continue."

Kong Bu looked at the two jokingly, and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of please, asking them to continue cursing.

Both Ao Pang and Pippen blushed, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

Pippen is more afraid of Comb. He has witnessed a lot of deeds by Comb over the years. He does not want to be repaired by Comb before he retires.

Besides being afraid of Konbu, Ao Pang also admires him. He knows that there is only one coach in this league who can lead him to win the championship.

If Kumbu abandons himself, then he is really finished, and the title of the most dominant center in history is more like a joke.

The two fell silent, and Combe continued.

"What is it for?"

"It was Shaq who mocked me and missed three shots after I came on the court, which caused the team to lose." Pippen murmured, not daring to look directly into Kumbu's eyes.

Ao Pang wanted to refute, but seeing Kong Bu's expression of wanting to eat people, he could only keep his mouth shut.

"Scottie, I will let you start the next game and give you at least 45 minutes of playing time."

"But you don't have permission to attack. Of course, it doesn't mean that you can't attack at all. It's just that you can't shoot at inappropriate timing."

As soon as these words came out, O'Pang and Pippen were dumbfounded.

Pippen was a little confused, what did Combe mean?
Put yourself on stage for at least 45 minutes?It looked like he was helping himself in this dispute with Ao Pang, but he didn't let himself take the shot, and it didn't look like he was helping himself.

Ao Pang was shocked that if Pippen, an old guy, played for 45 minutes, the Bobcats would lose to the point where there were no pants left?

The others were also shocked, completely confused about Kong Bu's intentions.

The two broke out in a conflict and fined them both, such as fines from the team, suspension from the team, etc., which still makes sense. Now that Kumbu has let Pippen play for 45 minutes, normal people can't understand Kumbu's brain circuit at all.

Kumbu did not explain much, and took the players back to the hotel room, trained normally the next day, and waited for the second game of the Eastern Conference semifinals to start.

The news that the Bobcats were fighting in the locker room cannot be concealed from the outside world, especially since this is the old Thomas' home court, and the security personnel at the door of the locker room are all from Lao Deng, so how could they not tell Lao Deng the news.

"Son, have you realized how hard it is to be a coach?"

"Before you were a young man who was lucky enough to get good discipline. Now that you have these long-established superstars in the team, you can't control the scene, right?"

Lao Deng seized this rare opportunity to teach Kong Bu a lesson, and he couldn't help teasing Kong Bu again.

Kumbu simply ignored him, and now his heart hurts. He doesn't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing to let Pippen play for such a long time.

Playing at least 45 minutes in two games, it can almost be said that the Bobcats will lose the next two games.

In other words, the Bobcats will face a 3:0 situation by the Knicks.

In this case, unless the Bobcats can win four games in a row, they will still be eliminated, and the ten games rewarded by Pippen's mission will be meaningless.

But Combe thought about it again, if he didn't do this task, what are the chances of their Bobcats beating the Knicks?It doesn't seem to be very big.

That being the case, it is better to give it a try.

Anyway, as a new team, the Bobcats have reached the Eastern Conference semifinals. Whether it is Jordan or the fans, they should be satisfied enough with this record.

The game started on the court. In the first 15 minutes, the Bobcats played very well and even took the lead. Unfortunately, after 15 minutes, Pippen's physical fitness could not keep up, and his defensive strength dropped sharply.

The overall situation of the Bobcats also collapsed.

When everyone thought that Combe would take Pippen and replace him with Gill or Slee, Combe did not do so, and continued to press Pippen on the court without hesitation.

By the end of the game, Pippen's face was green with fatigue, and he felt that if he played another 10 minutes and 8 minutes, he might foam.

At the age of 38, he played the playoffs with high offensive and defensive intensity, and even played the whole game. Who can stand it.

Right now, Pippen feels like Comb must be punishing himself, making himself suffer on the court.

But after thinking about it, the price of this kind of punishment is too high. Could it be that Kumbu would rather lose in order to punish himself?
After returning to the locker room, Ao Pang complained in his heart, but he didn't dare to talk to Kongbuti, so he could only sulk.

He didn't dare to mention it here, but Jordan, who was far away in Charlotte, called.

"Hey, Kong, what the hell are you doing?"

"You gave Scottie so much playing time because of me?"

"How much fake alcohol did you drink? If he can play that long, why should I retire?"

"You don't have to worry about me, the relationship between me and Scottie is not as close as you think."

Jordan thought that Combe was thinking about Pippen's old relationship with himself, and then gave so much playing time.

"Michael, we have agreed that I will be responsible for everything about the game."

"I use Scottie in this way, of course I have my reason, that is our only hope to win the championship."

Combe sighed and said that he really couldn't explain it to Jordan.

Jordan is speechless, and Pippen has become their only hope for the Bobcats to win?Why do you not believe it yourself?

The next third game of the Eastern Conference semifinals came to Charlotte's home court.

"Son, are you crazy?"

"I really want to win you, but I also don't want to win a crazy you."

"Let Scottie start again? Are you trying to give us the championship on purpose?"

Old Thomas touched Kumbu's forehead, and he felt that Kumbu was either suffering from a fever and becoming confused, or he was insane and insane.

Kong Bu could only smile wryly at Lao Deng this time.

Not surprisingly, the Bobcats lost the game again, and Pippen played 47 minutes on the court.

Because it was the home court, Jordan came to the scene in person and sat next to the bench.

He used at least [-] colors for Kumbu in a game, so Konbu quickly replaced Pippen.

As a result, Combe completely ignored Jordan as if he had suddenly lost his sight.

Not only Jordan, but also the fans couldn't stand it anymore. When it was halfway through the fourth quarter, led by some emotional fans, the entire Charlotte Arena was boiling.

"Substitution!"

"Substitution!"

"Replace Pippen!"

"Replace Pippen!"

Pippen's face was red on the court. He never expected that he would face such an embarrassing situation after he got to the Bobcats.

Hearing the voices all over the sky, Ao Pang felt both happy and unhappy.

What's cool is that Pippen was scolded, and more than 1 fans shouted to replace him. This is the greatest humiliation for the players.

The upset is that they lost this game again, and their Bobcats have been forced to the edge of the cliff, more than half of their bodies have fallen off the cliff to be precise.

Being led by a big score of 3:0, the possibility of the Bobcats wanting to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals is slim.

To this day, there have been a total of 131 playoff 3-0 situations in the NBA, and none of the teams that have been able to complete a comeback have so far appeared.

别说3：0了，就是2:0，翻盘的几率也不过就只有8%而已。

Now the Bobcats are 3:0, which has basically declared the end of their current playoffs.

Ao Fat sighed, his first season joining the Bobcats was not considered a success, but fortunately this season he was not without gains, scoring 80+ in a single game, and then reaching the Eastern Conference semifinals record, it is not impossible to accept , After all, the Bobcats are a new army.

When the 2004 draft began, Combe selected several outstanding rookies to join the team. O'Fang felt that the Bobcats had at least a [-]% chance of winning the championship next season.

Overall, Oban is still full of confidence in Kumbu.

After the game, Jordan left the court angrily without even saying a word to Kumbu.

Lao Deng stepped forward and patted Kong Bu's shoulder with a strange expression, wanting to comfort Kong Bu, but seeing that there was no disappointed expression on Kong Bu's face, he didn't know where to start.

Pippen played more than 45 minutes in two consecutive games, the mission goal has been achieved, and Pippen returned to the top in the next ten games.

In the best-case scenario, the Bobcats won the next four games, consuming four of Pippen's ten.

In the Eastern Conference finals, the Bobcats are likely to face the Philadelphia 76ers. If they can win the Philadelphia 76ers in six games, the Bobcats will be able to reach the finals.

Once in the finals, it doesn't matter if Pippen's state is good or bad.

Kumbu really didn't pay much attention to the team in the west.
