NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Iguodala, Josh - Smith, Kevin - Martin plus Varejao, is the harvest of Comb's draft.

It was a bit different from the candidate he had expected before, mainly because Combe never dared to think of picking a player like Iguodala before.

Iguodala is known as a mini version of LeBron James. If he can have such a name, he must have good physical fitness.

His jumping ability is outstanding. If he doesn't play basketball, then Iguodala is probably practicing high jump or long jump now, and he will become a track and field athlete. No.2 is almost the same.

In addition to outstanding jumping ability, his strength is also far beyond ordinary people, at least much better than the outside rookies of the same class.

With a height of 198 cm, he is not as tall as James, which is why he is called a mini version of James.

In terms of personal technical characteristics, he has many similarities with James. The basket is not stable enough, and the scoring method is more breakthrough.

Fans have the impression that Iguodala is playing the small forward position. In fact, in the first three years of his career, he played shooting guard for two years, and he was still playing shooting guard next to Iverson.

The offensive desire is not strong, but the defensive enthusiasm is very high, excellent physical hardware and standard second position height, he will not suffer from defending any top shooting guard in the league.

This is the best dynasty jigsaw puzzle in Kongbu's mind. It is reasonable to say that even if the Lakers exchanged Kobe, Kongbu might not change it.

It’s not that Kobe is not as good as Iguodala, the offense is definitely better than Iguodala, and the defense is also much stronger. Kobe’s defense is not for nothing, but Kobe’s offensive desire is too strong, he can’t do it at all role player.

In addition, Ao Pang and Kobe are incompatible, and the introduction of Kobe is purely to make Ao Pang unhappy.

Anyway, among the four newcomers, Combe believes that Iguodala is definitely the one with the highest value.

Second only to Iguodala is the Eagle King Josh Smith.

For teams named after animals like the Eagles and Bobcats, the boss can generally be the king, and more than one player may be the king at the same time.

For example, Elvis Presley of the Bobcats, Steven Gerrard and this year's No. [-] Okafor have all had such names.

Queen bee Glenn Rice, future queen bee Chris Paul.

Deer King Reed, Dragon King Bosh, Wolf King Garnett, Bear King Gasol.

The Eagles have two Eagle Kings, one is singles Joe, and the other is Josh Smith, who was selected by Combe.

Like Iguodala, Josh Smith also has an amazing physical talent.

He participated in the slam dunk contest in his rookie season, and easily won the slam dunk champion with a full score.

He has a strong ability to block shots and is the youngest Mr. 1000 blocks in NBA history.

With a height of 206 cm, he has good pass control ability. Although he played at the [-]th position for most of the seasons in his career, he played small forward for the first three years of his career, and he played well.

In short, Josh Smith is an alternative version of Kirilenko. He does not have Kirilenko's shooting ability, but his breakthrough ability is much better than Kirilenko's.

Speaking of Josh Smith's shooting ability, Comb has decided to train him well before the start of the new season.

This guy's shooting is poor, but he also likes long-range shooting. He obviously has a historical level of super physical talent, but he doesn't use it to the extreme. It's outrageous to run to be a shooter.

Especially when Kumbu thought of his performance in the 12-13 season, he slapped his thigh directly.

In the 12-13 season, the shooting rate at the basket reached a sky-defying 77.1%.

The best season of Yao Ming's entire career was only 73%.

It stands to reason that the basket is so against the sky, then normal people should play at the basket.

Josh Smith is not right, he just wants to shoot from a distance. He averaged 15.6 shots per game this season, less than five shots at the basket, and nearly seven long-range two-point and three-point shots.

It doesn't matter if the long-range shooting rate is high, the key is that this guy has maintained a 25% three-point shooting rate all year round, and the long-range two-point shooting rate is not much better, less than 35%.

The players can be so outrageous, it must be inseparable from the coach, even if the coach has a little bit of self-esteem and professional ethics, it is impossible to indulge the players to this extent.

Josh Smith's coach during the Eagles was Larry Drew, a well-known nanny coach who completely spoiled Josh Smith.

Kong Bu's plan is to PUA this guy hard, so that he will completely stop thinking about long-range shots, and concentrate on using his heaven-defying physical talent to hit the basket.

In the new season, he will be Hill and Bosh's substitute, and he will definitely be able to play enough time. Comb has a hunch that he may be able to give Bobcats fans a surprise.

Needless to say, Kevin Martin is a natural scorer on the bench. Combu is not going to let him start. He can serve as Iguodala's substitute in the new season, and he can also play as the No. [-] substitute in certain games .

Varejao's value is actually astonishingly high. Many fans think that Varejao relies on superb flopping performances to defend. In fact, this is not the case. The basic defensive skills of this Brazilian insider are extremely solid, and the defensive efficiency is definitely the top in the league. In many seasons, he even Do not lose Garnett's defensive performance.

The reason why he has only won one defensive second team honor and no other defensive honors is because his low-level defensive statistics are too hip. After playing for so many years, there is only one season where he averaged more than one block per game. Most only have around 0.6 blocks.

In addition, his rebounding ability is also very strong. In his peak season, he averaged 14 rebounds per game, and there were actually 5.5 offensive rebounds. Even if he didn't get double figures in rebounds in other seasons, it was only because of his short playing time and his rebound rate never fell below 17%.

Has defense and rebounds, offensive ability is a bit anxious, almost no shooting ability, but free throw is good, can maintain 60% to 65% hit rate.

Kumbu carefully cultivated for one season and sold it the next season, which is definitely a sky-high price.

There are so few center forwards in today's league. Rare things are more expensive. Dampier has been scalped in transactions before. How can Varejao be better than Dampier?

Speaking of which, Varejao was also delayed by the Cavaliers. His technical characteristics are obviously a serious traditional center.

But there is a center Z in the Cavaliers lineup, and Varejao can either be a substitute or can only play power forward.

And he doesn't have the slightest shooting ability, and he can't form a good chemical reaction with James, so he can only hang around in the Cavaliers for more than ten years.

If he was one-third as smart as Boozer and left the Cavaliers earlier, not to mention becoming the next Big Ben or Uncle Mu, at least he would have no problem becoming Joakim Noah.

Now that the Brazilian film star is in the hands of Combu, it can be regarded as his good luck. His career must be much more brilliant than normal.

With Kumbu's gilding, he will be traded next season. There is a high probability that he will be a weak chicken team with a strong outside line but no strong inside line. At that time, Varejao will definitely be reused. He will play for two or three years. Getting a top salary is a no-brainer.

Looking at it this way, if we really want to say that the transaction value of these four rookies, Varejao may be the highest, even higher than Iguodala.

On the morning of the second day of the draft, Combe took Jordan with a bitter face to the trade conference.

The reason why Jordan looked bitter was because he was very reluctant to send Tony Allen to the Suns at a loss.

The player selected by Kumbu with the 22nd overall pick was exchanged for the Suns' first-round pick next year.

When Combe and Jordan returned to Charlotte that night, a piece of news directly detonated the basketball world.

Carlesimo, who has a hot ass as the coach of the Philadelphia 76ers, was fired.

The reason for the dismissal was nothing more than that the boss felt that his leadership performance was not satisfactory. The Knicks could even play a tiebreaker with the Bobcats. Why should my dynasty team only play six games against the Bobcats?
Sometimes the boss is so unreasonable. The reason why the Philadelphia 76ers lost was more due to player injuries than Carlesimo.

But the boss said it was related, so it was related, and Carlesimo was sacrificed to heaven.

The firing of Carlesimo is naturally not the big news that detonated the basketball world. What is really shocking is the trade between the Magic and the Philadelphia 76ers.

The two sides exchanged players, and Iverson only changed McGrady!
Single exchange with no strings attached!
Comb was stunned. He never dreamed that the Philadelphia 76ers could do such a heartless thing.

It's easy to fire Carlesimo. After all, he has only coached in Philadelphia for one year, and he can't say that he has made any contribution to Philadelphia.

And Iverson was the founder of the Philadelphia dynasty, just because Philadelphia didn't win the championship last season, and then sold him?Is this something that humans can do?

It's hard for Comb to imagine Iverson's mood now.

McGrady has the right to veto transactions, but Iverson does not.

When the two teams were negotiating a deal, McGrady was naturally happy when he heard that he could go to the Philadelphia 76ers to partner with a super center like Yao Ming, and he agreed with it.

And Iverson heard that he was going to the Orlando Magic, a team with no immediate combat power and potential, of course he didn't want to go.

It's a pity that he doesn't have the right to veto transactions, and he can't do anything if he doesn't want to.

The Philadelphia 76ers made this deal, but it's not as heartless as Comb imagined, they also have unspeakable difficulties.

Gerrard, who was selected by Comb in 01, many teams want to give Gerrard a maximum salary contract, and the Philadelphia 76ers want to keep Gerrard, so they can only match the maximum salary.

However, the 76ers don't have this kind of salary space, and even if they do, they must stay and prepare to renew Stoudemire.

With Gerrard gone, the Philadelphia 76ers must find a way to make up for the loss.

It just so happens that the Philadelphia 76ers have a bearded Davis at the first position. He can replace Iverson as the starting master. After McGrady comes, he can play the second or third position and partner with the little prince Prince.

In this way, the impact of Gerrard's departure will be minimized.

In addition, Carlesimo's tactical thinking is too focused on Yao Ming, so he can't play the full strength of the bearded man, and after McGrady comes, he can't let him play cuts, right?
So I just kept on doing nothing, fired Carlesimo, and gave up using the pseudo-Princeton system.

Combe only thought about this after hearing that Gerrard was about to sign with the Spurs, and he felt the old saying in his heart, business is business.

The Spurs became the big winners, and they signed Gerrard, the outside gate, without any effort. The overall combat power of this Spurs has made Combe fearful.

Fortunately, the Suns are also extremely strong at the moment. It is definitely not so easy for the Spurs to break through the Suns and enter the finals.

Kong Bu thought about calling Iverson, but after thinking about it, he didn't know how to comfort Iverson, so he could only sigh and give up.

On the contrary, Yao Ming called Kong Bu, and he was also stunned. Before the deal happened, he had no news at all.

If he knew, he would definitely come forward to block the deal.

Now that the matter is a foregone conclusion, Yao Ming has no choice but to accept this reality.

Kong Bu did not expect that the combination of Yao and McGrady would meet in Philadelphia. The combat power of the two is not as strong as imagined. Unless McGrady is willing to change his style of play and sacrifice more possessions to Yao Ming, Kong Bu feels that this will The overall combat power of the Philadelphia 76ers is not as good as that of the Bobcats and Knicks.

And this is still McGrady staying healthy. If McGrady keeps getting injured after arriving in Philadelphia, it will be even worse.

The deal between the 76ers and the Magic has just ended, and the Lakers gave Comb a small surprise.

The newly appointed Lakers general manager Kupchak took out David West and Kapono, and traded Paul Gasol from the Grizzlies.

Comb was speechless. He wondered if Jerry West had some reason to be caught by Kupchak, such as embezzling a lot of money when he was the general manager of the Lakers?After all, Kupchak is West's assistant, and many things are clear.

Otherwise, it is hard to imagine why West would agree to the deal.

Under normal circumstances, it was Kupchak who robbed Gasol from West. If West didn't give Kupchak any handle, he wouldn't believe it if he killed Kumbu.

Although David West has good strength, how can he compare with Pau Gasol, the Lakers made a bloody profit in this deal.

The Spurs just got a general, the Lakers robbed Gasol again, the Suns drafted Howard and Tony Allen, and the West was completely messed up.

The eastern side is still full of tyrannical powers, while the western side presents a situation where all the heroes are rising side by side.

The entire alliance has gradually become a momentum where the strong get stronger and the weak get weaker.

Kumbu is looking forward to the coming of the new season more and more. His Bobcats are also strong now. With so many powerful opponents in the new season, they will definitely not be lonely.

But there are more important things for Kumbu right now, and that is the 2004 Athens Olympic Games.

There is still about a month to go before the start of the men's basketball event in the Olympic Games. In the next period of time, Kumbu will definitely devote himself to the Olympic Games.

Today, Kongbu has led the Chinese men's basketball team to win two world championships and one Olympic championship. Counting the seven consecutive championships he won this year, he is already a true ten-time champion.
