NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

The Bobcats won the first game of the finals relatively easily. Even though Pippen performed poorly at the beginning of the game, relying on O'Pang's absolute advantage at the basket, he still won.

The gap between Ao Pang and Olowokandi is like the gap between Jordan and Li Lei. Li Lei is Kong Bu's cousin in his previous life...

"Coach, my state is not very good in this game, but I am sure I will find my state in the next game."

After the game, Pippen first found Comb and made a promise.

Kumbu nodded, and didn't say that Pippen would not start the next game. There is not much pressure to play against the Timberwolves, and it doesn't hurt to let Pippen play for a while.

Seeing the Bobcats generals celebrating the victory of the game, Garnett felt a little uncomfortable.

When Comb traded O'Pang with the Lakers before, Garnett wanted to follow O'Pang's example and join the Bobcats.

It's a pity that my salary is too high. Even if Kumbu agrees, it is unlikely that Jordan will agree.

Garnett is actually very clear that he is a high-profile version of Bosh. His strength is indeed better than Bosh, but his salary is much higher than Bosh.

Bosh is currently holding a rookie contract salary, with an annual salary of around 2000 million, and Garnett is more than 20.00 million. Who would be willing to pay ten times more for a player with a [-]% increase in strength.

He played against Bosh tonight, and the statistics were crushed. However, the reason why Bosh scored less was more because he didn't have the ball.

G2 of the finals is still the Timberwolves' home court.

Before the start of the game, Kumbu read the news and smiled wryly after reading it.

The ratings of this year's finals are quite horrible, only two-thirds of the last Philadelphia 76ers vs. Lakers finals.

The Timberwolves are not considered a team in a big market, even if they have a large number of die-hard fans, but in a bitterly cold place like Minnesota, there is not much population in itself, and the fan base is too small.

In addition, the outside world is generally optimistic about the Bobcats winning the championship. At least half of the 4 experts think that the Bobcats can sweep the Timberwolves 0:[-].

Most of the remaining half of the experts also think that the Bobcats can win the championship 4:1 or 4:2, and there are very few who predict that they can reach the tiebreaker.

There's no way, O'Pang is too much of a threat to the Timberwolves.

In the finals of last season, although the Philadelphia 76ers were strong, the Lakers still have unlimited possibilities with the OK combination.

Now that the Timberwolves center is not up to the mark, Ao Pang can do whatever he wants.

The reason why fans of Eastern teams look down on the West is entirely because there is no decent center in the West right now.

There are only four top centers in the league, namely Yao Ming, O'Pang, Daba and Daben.

These four are the pillars of the eastern tycoons.

It is a small market team and the game lacks suspense, so the ratings will definitely not go up.

It hurts Stern. I knew that he should have stepped up to help the Suns in the Western Conference Finals. If the Suns had reached the finals, the situation would definitely be much better.

The Suns play the Bobcats, and the suspense is not too big. Their center and backcourt defense are weak, and it is hard to escape the Bobcats.

But the Suns are sitting in the big city of Phoenix anyway, and their profitability in the finals is much stronger than that of the Timberwolves.

After the start of G2 of the finals, Pippen still played poorly, and his own spirit was lost.

Pippen on the court began to think about what to do.

Judging from the current situation, the FMVP himself definitely doesn't have to think about it, let alone his current state is not right, even if he returns to the top, it is absolutely impossible to snatch the FMVP from Ao Pang.

奥胖第一场比赛砍下了43分17篮板4盖帽，今晚上半场刚刚打完，他就已经怒砍24分11篮板的两双了。

Now that the FMVP could not be obtained, Pippen began to worry about whether he could renew the big contract.

My contract for next season is a team option. If Kongbu is righteous and implements his team option, then he can sign big contracts with other teams.

If Comb doesn't let him go, doesn't implement the team option, and let Pippen continue to play for another year, if Pippen's state is like tonight this year, then he won't even think about a big contract.

After thinking about it, Pippen realized that it was Comb who decided whether he had a chance to get a big contract.

Pippen did not play in the second half of the game, and he made up for this shortcoming. The Bobcats began to build an advantage, and finally won the home team Timberwolves by 99 points 91:[-].

During the handshake session after the game, Garnett looked livid.

The first two games were home to the Timberwolves, but they failed to win even one game. The next two games were home to the Bobcats. The probability of their heads being shaved by the Bobcats reached more than [-]%.

Having his head shaved in the finals is a shame and a shame. It is the kind of player's stain that cannot be washed away in his life. Of course, Garnett does not want to have this kind of stain on his body.

"Dude, winning or losing is a common matter in military affairs, so don't be so depressed."

Combe patted Garnett on the shoulder and smiled. His words were naturally processed. What he told Garnett was that victory and defeat are the normal results of war.

Garnett smiled wryly when he heard what Kumbu said. Konbu even described the finals as a war, so there must be no possibility of letting the Timberwolves breathe.

"Kong, anyway, it is my honor to play against you on the stage of the finals."

Garnett touched his big bald head and smiled.

After shaking hands with Garnett, Combe chatted with Timberwolves coach Saunders Sr.

"Philip, the next game is our home game. After arriving in Charlotte, I'll buy you a few drinks."

"Junior Sanders has grown up very quickly, and he seems to be much more mature than when he was under my command. I think he will soon be able to take charge of himself."

Combe smiled at Little Sanders not far away.

Old Sanders waved his hand and said, "My old man, do you think I'm still in the mood to have a few drinks now?"

"God bless, not to be swept away by you, this is my biggest wish now."

"I can't imagine how the West fans will criticize us if we are swept by you."

"In the past six years, although you won the championship, at least the Western Conference teams can still parry twice."

Seeing the despair on Old Sanders' face, Combe couldn't help but chuckled softly: "It's not that exaggerated, you will win at least one game."

Old Sanders looked startled, what do you mean by that?Is Kumbu going to let the Timberwolves win a game?
I was about to inquire about Kong Bu, who had led the Bobcats back to the locker room.

When he got to the locker room, Pippen summoned up his courage and approached Kumbu.

"Coach, can you talk to me alone for 3 minutes?"

Comb nodded and took Pippen to the corner of the locker room.

"Coach, I want to ask you one thing, can you implement my team option for next season?"

In order to get a big contract, Pippen kept his posture very low.

If Combe was six years ago, he might still wonder why Pippen would have such an idea.

Now Comb can guess Pippen's purpose with his big toe. It is nothing more than wanting to go to other teams to get a big contract.

"Scotty, I'm not the only one who has the final say on this kind of thing, we Bobcats also have a boss."

"You are in good shape this season, especially in the Eastern Conference semifinals. The salary is less than 200 million US dollars, which is quite cost-effective. I don't think any boss is willing to let you go."

"However, everything is negotiable. Go to the free market first to see if there are any teams that are interested in you."

"If you make a deal with them, you can do a sign-and-trade. I don't want too much, just give me a draft pick, so I can explain it to Michael."

Comb adhered to the principle of not leaving empty-handed, and he would not stop Pippen if he wanted to leave, but he definitely couldn't leave in vain, he had to save something for himself.

Even if it's just a pick at the bottom of the second round, it's earned for nothing, so don't take it for nothing.

Now Kong Bu is more and more fond of using Jordan as a shield. It is inconvenient for him to say a lot of things, so it is easier to use Jordan as a shield.

The key is that after Jordan knew about it, he was not only not angry, but also very happy, because every time Kumbu deliberately highlighted his identity as the owner of the Bobcats, highlighting that the Bobcats were not a team of only Konbu.

"Okay, thank you so much, Kong!"

Pippen breathed a sigh of relief, feeling somewhat grateful to Combe.

In G3 of the finals, the Bobcats lost at home, and Ao Pang was tortured to death on the court.

In this game, O'Pang's free throw percentage was extremely bad. He only hit one of the six free throws in the opening game.

Seeing this posture, the old Sanders saw that there was no reason not to use the tactics of killing sharks, so he directly started to cut O'Pang in various ways.

Originally, in this case, Kumbu should try to shorten O'Pang's playing time as much as possible.

But Kumbu didn't do that, and kept Ao Pang on the court to continue playing.

After the game ended, Ao Pang made 32 free throws and made 10 free throws. The shooting percentage was only a little over 3%.

What is the concept of 32 of 10 free throws? It is equivalent to saying that an outside player made 16 mid-range shots and only hit 5 of them.

It's even worse than this, because outside players miss shots, and their own side still has the opportunity to grab offensive rebounds and make a second attack.

And if the free throw is missed, it basically means that the offensive round is consumed.

After the game, Ao Pang was disgusted like he had eaten a ton of dead flies, and he didn't want to say anything.

Kumbu didn't want to sweep the Timberwolves to win the championship. On the one hand, he wanted to give the old Sanders a little face. He has been an old friend for many years. It is too inhumane to shave his head directly.

On the other hand, Kumbu has the certainty of killing the Timberwolves at any time, and letting the water go will not affect the final result of the series.

Take tonight's game as an example. It's not that Kumbu has no way to deal with O'Pang being cut.

Reduce Opang's playing time, and put Erpang on Olowokandi.

Er Fatty beat Olowokandi, which is also a one-on-one match, and still has a lot of advantages.

The Bobcats can still win this game.

If Kumbu doesn't release the water, the Timberwolves are actually 0:3 behind.

Garnett and old Sanders couldn't figure this out. On the one hand, they were ashamed, and on the other hand, they were grateful for Comb's mercy.

Two days later, in Game [-] of the finals, the Bobcats ushered in a big victory.

O'Pang's free throws bottomed out and rebounded. The third game was terrible, but the fourth game turned out to be accurate again.

With a big score advantage of 3:1, the Bobcats returned to Minnesota's home court.

Not surprisingly, it was another big victory. Under the leadership of Comb, the newcomer Charlotte Bobcats won the championship 4:1.

Stern was on the scene, even if he was not satisfied with the result of winning the championship in the past few years, he would still smile.

He couldn't laugh at all tonight.

The ratings were embarrassing, and the profit was not much. In his opinion, this finals was a failure.

Anyway, he has already made up his mind that it is impossible for the Timberwolves to enter the Finals next season no matter what, let alone the Finals, it is best not to let them enter the Western Conference Finals.

It is best for the Suns or Lakers to enter the finals, so that the NBA can maximize its profits.

"we are the champion!"

Jordan came to watch the game with the team tonight. After winning the championship, he jumped up from his seat and cheered.

Looking at his posture, he is really more excited than winning the championship when he was a player.

"I declare the 2003-2004 NBA championship winners to be the Charlotte Bobcats!"

Stern, who usually talks lyrically at length, did not express much lyrically this time. He spoke for less than 2 minutes, and then announced the FMVP candidates.

There can be no other candidates for this honor, it can only be Ao Pang's.

After five games, Ou Pang averaged 35 points, 16 rebounds and 4 blocks per game. If Olowokandi was not too low-level, his statistics would go down in history forever.

Ao Pang was so excited that he burst into tears.

Finally won this damn championship, and this damn FMVP.

From now on, when he talks about being the number one center forward in history, he will probably have a lot more confidence.

In the past years, he has been losing to Kongbu, and he must have some resentment towards Kongbu. Now that he has won the championship and FMVP, he looks at Kongbu affectionately. His "love" for Kongbu makes him want to rub Kongbu into his chest.

He hugged Kong Bu directly in his arms, "Coach, thank you!"

Kong Bu was hugged by the fat man, almost smothered to death by him.

"Shaq, it's my time, hug me for a while!" Hill was also in tears at the moment, and he was even more excited than Ao Pang.

Once upon a time, he thought that he was finished and his career was completely abolished.

Who would have thought that after being in the hands of Kumbu, he could still win the regular season MVP and then easily win the championship.

My career has taken off again!
Kumbu won the seventh championship trophy in his personal coaching career, and he has won seven consecutive championships.

It's a pity that Kumbu has no intention of celebrating now. He is surrounded by a group of players and feels that it is difficult to breathe.

This championship was a surprise for Kumbu.

When he created the Bobcats, he actually didn't think he could win the championship. After beating the Knicks in the regular season and teasing the old Thomas, Comb gave birth to the idea of ​​spending money on reinforcements.

As a result, Ao Pang came to reinforce, directly laying the foundation for winning the championship.

From this point of view, there must be half of Lao Deng in the medal of merit.

Kongbu thought with a smirk in his heart, when the Bobcats ordered the championship ring, should they also order one for Lao Deng.
