NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Chapter 369 The Auburn Hills Palace incident broke out

Er Fatty has a more emotional personality. When he learned that he was traded, he cried in Kong Bu's room.

Even though he clearly knew that going to the supersonic speed would bring no harm to him, but he still couldn't bear to part with his brother in Bobcats, and of course he couldn't bear to part with Kumbu.

"Coach, you don't think I'm fat, and then you sell me?"

Erpang was crying, like a fat girl asking why a heartless person abandoned her.

"Of course not. You played too little time in the Bobcats. You can't spend it like this all the time, can you? Waste your youth." Kong Bu coughed dryly.

"Then why didn't you trade Varejao out? I knew that guy from Brazil was better at acting than me. Do you like him more?" Er Fat Lihua said with rain.

Kong Bu was speechless, why did the conversation become more and more wrong today.

"Joining the Supersonics is a very good opportunity. After I go, I will be a permanent starter. You have been with me for more than a year. Of course, this kind of good thing should give priority to you."

"And the competition in the Western Conference is not fierce at all. Dampier is the No. [-] center in the Western Conference. After you go over, compete with him for the throne of the No. [-] center in the Western Conference. Maybe you can start an All-Star team. Are you unhappy?"

When Kong Bu said this, Er Fatty immediately put away his mournful face and became overjoyed.

In this way, it seems that joining the Supersonics has a lot of benefits. In Er Pang's eyes, what is Dampier?
It seems that I really have a chance to become the No. [-] center in the Western Conference, and I really have a chance to win the Western Conference All-Star starting throne.

"Okay, coach, then I'll go."

"When I mix up an All-Star starter in the West, I hope we can meet in the All-Stars by then."

Er Pang has already forgotten the pain of parting, and all he thinks about is All-Star.

……

The Bobcats had just finished their away game against the Sonics and hadn't left Seattle yet. The two sides officially announced the deal the next afternoon after the game.

Er Fat stayed directly in Seattle, the man's dreamland, while Brent Barry continued to play away games with Comb.

Kumbu is no stranger to Barry. After all, Barry entered the league earlier than Konbu. In the past seven years, even if they are in the eastern and western divisions, they have played against each other more than ten times.

There are many basketball families in the NBA, but if you want to talk about the first family, it must be the Barry family.

Rick Barry, a urinal, a superstar in history, a top [-] star, Hall of Fame, the only player who has won the NCAA, NBA, and ABA. In the era of Chamberlain and Russell, etc., the old Barry is the fig leaf for the white guys in the NBA.

Barry Sr.'s father is an ABA coach, and his father-in-law is also an ABA coach.

He gave birth to four sons, and three entered the NBA, but the achievements of these three are not high, and the highest is the Brent Barry that Combe just got.

What Barry is praised for is his jumping ability, and he is the one who can fly even for white people. But when it comes to the beauty of dunking, Barry is still far behind Jordan and Carter.

His waist and abdomen are not strong enough, and he is not stretched enough in the air, so he dunks straight up and down.

In the main game, the frequency of his dunks was a bit low. Last season, he only dunked 12 dunks. Carter dunked [-] to [-] dunks in a season.

The breakthrough ability is very poor, or almost none, and the single defense ability is not good, mainly because his lateral movement speed is too slow, and he can't defend those fast top shooting guards at all.

Fortunately, his defensive awareness and enthusiasm are very good, and he can also stage some crucial steals from time to time.

The most valuable ability in Barry is the three-pointer, which is the main reason why Kumbu is willing to trade him with Er Fatty.

"Brent, after all these years, you haven't aged at all. You haven't changed at all since I first entered the league."

On the plane to Los Angeles, Barry sat next to Combe, and the two chatted.

"I'm old, I already feel old, and my body is far worse than when I was young."

"Kong, time flies so fast. When you first coached the Raptors seven years ago, I just got a foothold in the Clippers."

"Even if you killed me at that time, I absolutely can't believe that you can do such crazy things as seven consecutive championships."

Barry was filled with emotion.

The next Bobcats away game is to play the Los Angeles Clippers, which is where Brent Barry's career began.

Speaking of the start of his career, Ma Jian, the number one power forward in the universe of our Chinese dynasty, also contributed.

In the 95 draft, Ma Jian also went to try out the Clippers. Later, the Clippers selected Barry from among the players on trial.

Kumbu still wanted to ask if he still remembered the bald man who competed with him for the right to sign with the Clippers nine years ago.

But think about it, it's all about Chen Zhima's rotten millet, it's no wonder Barry can remember.

After arriving in Los Angeles, Clippers coach Dunleavy Sr. and Lakers general manager Kupchak called separately and wanted to invite Comb to dinner.

Comb finally decided to accept Kupchak's appointment, and he had nothing to say to old Dunleavy. This guy always pretends to be smart, and he is too tired to chat with him.

"Kong, you are too mean."

"Trading a center like Er Fatty didn't even notify me in advance."

"If we are traded to the Lakers, we will definitely be able to give more chips than the Sonics."

Because Kumbu often called him "fat and fat" at the press conference, so now the whole league is used to calling Perkins "fat and fat".

"That can't be done. You Lakers have strengthened too much this season. I don't want to create a strong opponent for myself."

Combe laughed.

"Even if we have Er Fatty, we are still not your opponent. The whole world knows this."

"If there is another transaction like this next time, you must remember to contact me first."

"I promise to give the most lucrative price in the league."

Kupchak's invitation to dinner does not mean that he is really interested in Er Pang. After all, even if he gets Er Pang, it will not have a good effect in front of Ao Pang.

What he really wanted to do was to strengthen his friendship with Combe, which would come in handy sooner or later.

The next night's game, the Bobcats played away against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Ao Pang didn't come to Los Angeles at all, and returned to Charlotte by himself.

He lost an adult at the Lakers' home court in the opening game of this season. He loves face like his life and doesn't want to appear in front of Lakers fans at all.

The Clippers fans at home are actually Lakers fans. Clippers fans in today's league are extremely rare.

Varejao replaced Ao Pang in the starting lineup.

In the previous draft, the Clippers won Okafor, who was hailed as the next Duncan.

Needless to say, Okafor's performance since the start of the game is indeed something. His average of 16 points, 10 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game is not far behind Duncan's rookie season.

Tonight, Varejao played against Okafor, and Varejao didn't take any advantage. Although he was under Comb's command and enjoyed special training bonuses, Okafor was born at his peak. The strength is equal.

Some players are like this. Their careers have been high and low. When they first entered the league, they played vigorously, but then they became worse every year.

Okafor's rookie season even beat Howard to win the Rookie of the Year, but his later growth trajectory can only be compared with Duncan, and he can only eat ashes behind Howard.

It is normal that Varejao failed to take advantage of Okafor.

Old Dunleavy was full of pride. Even though the Clippers had already lost by almost [-] points, he was still pulling like [-] million. Those who didn't know thought the Clippers had won.

After the game, Dunleavy Sr. joined Kumbu.

"Kong, how do you look at my eyes?"

"Emeka Okafor is definitely an epoch-making player. I firmly believe that he can lead our Clippers on the right track."

"Win the championship or not, it's hard to say, but within three years, we can at least become the top four superpowers in the Western Conference."

"Look at the Howard selected by the Suns. I heard his nickname is Warcraft?"

"After all, basketball is about brains. If it's all about physical fitness, I'll just get a bull from an Alabama farm."

The old Dunleavy talked eloquently, full of hopes and expectations for the future, and he also belittled the number one pick Howard.

Howard's life is a bit difficult. He played well in the first two games against the bus and Big Ben.

It's a pity that he ran into O'Pang who needed to vent, and Yao Ming who didn't want to lose to O'Pang's limelight. In the two games, he had a quadruple double and a single game with 60+, which completely knocked Howard out of his wits.

In the follow-up games, Howard did not adjust. Now D'Antoni must think of a way. If Howard is so sluggish, then their No. [-] pick will be lost to grandma's house.

"Mike, then I will congratulate you in advance."

"When you reach the top four in the Western Conference, I have to express that at least I will give you a customized Rolex."

Kong Bu laughed and said that he knew very well that he might not be able to give away his Rolex in this life.

The Clippers expect Okafor to lead them into the top four in the Western Conference. Isn't that a dream?

……

The final game of the road trip is against the New Orleans Hornets.

The current coach of this team is Byron Scott, the lick dog, and the lineup is extremely poor. Compared with them, the Clippers' lineup belongs to the Galaxy Battleship level.

O'Fat didn't play, Hill was rested, and even Bosh played halftime. In this case, the Bobcats still beat the Hornets by 28 points.

Kevin Martin broke out in this game.

He scored 31 points off the bench, and his shooting percentage was quite amazing, which made Scott wet.

Licking dog Scott couldn't figure out why Martin, such a powerful player, couldn't even make a start. If it was left to their Hornets, they wouldn't be able to be a proper leader?

After the game, Scott wanted to invite Kumbu to dinner, but Kumbu directly declined. He didn't have so much time to waste on licking the dog.

After returning to the hotel, Kong Bu watched TV and saw a piece of heavy news.

While the Bobcats are playing against the Hornets, the Pistons are playing against the Pacers in the East.

Pistons at home, Pacers away.

Then the incident at the Palace of Auburn Hills in Combe's memory broke out.

The lineups of the two teams are different from normal, but the players in the Palace of Auburn Hills are all there except for a martial artist.

Big Ben, Rasheed, Artest and Jermaine O'Neill.

Originally, Kumbu thought that under his own influence, the incident at the Palace of Auburn Hills would not happen. After all, Big Ben and Jr. were teammates during the Raptors period, and their friendship was very good.

Who would have thought that what should have happened happened, and just like normal circumstances, Artest rushed into the audience to flex his muscles.

To be honest, the scale of the fight at the Palace of Auburn Hills is not worth mentioning. Compared with the large-scale fights that Combe participated in, it is insignificant.

But this incident is special because it is playing fans in Artest.

Fans are the bread and butter of the NBA. There is no way to guarantee safety while sitting on the sidelines watching the game. Who will dare to watch the game in the future.

It just happened, and I'm afraid Stern won't be able to sleep all night tonight.

The Pistons coach is the old Saunders who just took office, and the Pacers coach is Rick Carlisle, whom Comb has always admired. This incident is bad news for both coaches.

Because the players in the team will definitely suffer a large-scale suspension, the team's record will definitely be affected.

Early the next morning, the NBA gave the most serious punishment plan in history. Artest was suspended for almost an entire season, and he would never want to appear on the court again this season.

In addition to Artest, Jermaine O was also suspended for [-] games, and Big Ben and Rashid on the Pistons were also suspended for about [-] games.

Da Ben, Xiao Ao and others were really wronged, and they didn't do anything particularly excessive. If Artest hadn't rushed into the auditorium, these players would have been suspended for one or two games at most.

However, the incident at the Palace of Auburn Hills is too special, and Stern must kill the chickens to make an example, so that this situation will never happen again in the future.

The Pacers were originally quite strong. Looking at the east, apart from the Dark Five, the Pacers are the strongest.

They played against the Five Heavenly Kings, and it didn't mean that they were completely powerless to parry, and each other won or lost.

Well now, without Artest and O'Neill's suspension for such a long time, it's hard to say whether they can enter the playoffs this season.

Carlisle's luck is indeed a bit bad. Whenever the coaching team improves a bit, there will always be some accidents.

At the end of the away game, Combe led the team back to North Korea.

This time he was back in Charlotte, with quite important things to do.

NBA Championship Ring Presentation Ceremony.

Many teams will hold a ring awarding ceremony at the beginning of the new season, but Kumbu didn't do that, he reserved it for today.

Because the Bobcats will then sit at home against the New York Knicks.

Combe also wanted to "share" his joy with the old Thomas.

Last season's Eastern Conference semifinals was the most difficult dilemma of Comb's entire coaching career. They even fell behind 3:0.

In the end, relying on Pippen to return to the top, the Bobcats won with difficulty and subsequently won the championship.
