NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Chapter 36 The Larry Brown Discipleship
On November 1997, 11, the Raptors ushered in a challenge from the Washington Wizards at home.

In Kongbu's eyes, the Wizards' combat power can only be regarded as weak, but the Wizards' record is actually not bad. The current record of 4 wins and 3 losses ranks among the top eight in the Eastern Conference.

After the game on the field started, Combe had an illusion.

It seems that time has returned to the game against the Timberwolves two days ago.

It is really that the lineups of the Wizards and the Timberwolves are too similar.

They are all inside offensive twin towers. The Timberwolves have Garnett and Guglio Tower, and the Wizards have Webber and Juwan Howard.

One of the backcourt masters is Little Flying Squirrel and the other is Marbury.

The front and back lines are full of leftover players.

In order to appease Xiao Ao's miserable feelings of being blown up in the previous game, Kong Bu put him in the starting line-up tonight.

At the beginning of the game, Weber made two consecutive mid-range shots on Jermaine's head, which made Kong Bu's heart skip a beat. He secretly thought that something was wrong. Jermaine would not be blown up by Weber again tonight, would he?
If he was beaten up one after another, Xiao Ao's mood would definitely be affected.

It's not that Kumbu is unfounded, but he clearly remembers watching a game in his previous life. In that game, Webber played the most perfect statistics in his career, with 51 points and 26 rebounds!

Scores are career records, as are rebounds.

Very few people can hit two personal records in one game at the same time.

What's embarrassing is that Weber's opponent in that game was none other than Xiao Ao!

O'Neill couldn't beat Garnett in his peak period, but he couldn't beat Webber, but there was an exception to everything, and there was an accident in that game.

In the opening game, Xiao Ao slapped Weber's hats in succession, and finally slapped Weber's anger out. The audience made 47 wild shots!
You must know that in the game when Kobe scored 81 points, he only took 46 shots. Weber was completely angry.

虽说47次出手只拿到51分，效率不高，并且球队最后还输球了，但是51分26篮板2盖帽这样的数据，完爆了小奥20分16篮板5盖帽。

The game continued, and after about 5 minutes, Kumbu realized that he didn't need to worry.

That kind of game is rare, and Webb didn't break out tonight, and even behaved a little more abnormally than usual.

Uncle Huo has been facing Daben tonight, and he is also restricted to death, and he hardly gets a chance to make a move.

Da Ben verbally said that he was grateful to the Wizards and Old Unseld, but he didn't take it lightly at all. Facing the starting center Uncle Huo who had been on his head, Da Ben also wanted to prove himself.

In the backcourt, Snow's performance tonight is still remarkable.

In the last game, he locked the old horse with a 34% shooting rate. Tonight, the situation of Little Flying Squirrel was not much better. He made 13 of 4 shots in the game. Fortunately, he made 4 of 4 free throws and finally scored 13 points.

Halfway through the third quarter, the game actually entered garbage time.

Kumbu will definitely not get nervous and kill the Wizards. He also immediately replaced the marginal players to save the Wizards some face.

The Wizards are still very kind, whether it is the general manager Unseld or the current head coach Bernie Bickerstaff.

When he played against the Trail Blazers before, the old Dunleavy kept a livid face, as if someone owed him millions.

Bickerstaff is good. The audience smiled at Kumbu from time to time, giving people a feeling of spring breeze.

If you really count it, the Wizards actually lost more money than the Blazers in the deal with Kumbu.

The Blazers at least got Christie, who can improve the overall combat power.

The addition of Flying Squirrel to the Wizards only improved the atmosphere in the locker room, and the overall strength may have declined slightly.

Although the speeding car is not liked by others, its strength is definitely stronger than that of the little flying squirrel.
.
After successfully winning the Wizards, the next game against the New Jersey Nets was more relaxed, and the head coach Comb was drowsy.

The Nets' lineup is not weak. Whether it is the starting lineup or the substitute players, they are at a relatively good level in the league.

It's a pity that I ran into the Raptors who beat them tonight.

The first is the restraint of the center position. Big Ben will face the league's top blue-collar center Jason Williams tonight.

Fans of later generations may be a bit unfamiliar with this name, but in this era, he is second only to Rodman's rebounding monster, and he also has some offensive firepower.

The fly in the ointment is that the defense is a bit weak, which can't match his 13.6 rebounds per game.

As a result, this rebounder was completely blown away by Daben on the rebounding end tonight. He only got 7 rebounds in the game. On the other hand, Daben got 19 rebounds, which is not at the same level.

This situation did not go beyond Kumbu's expectations.

Before the game started, he had sentenced Jason Williams to death.

Daben has a very obvious characteristic. When he encounters a short insider, his combat power will explode geometrically.

When facing those super high center forwards, such as Yao Ming, Daben often seems powerless.

The reason is that the problem lies in Daben's own height. He is really too short. He is 201 centimeters tall, [-] centimeters shorter than Yao Ming. This is not a gap that can be made up by jumping.

On the field, an ordinary person of 1.7 meters is facing a tall man of 1.9 meters under the basket, so it goes without saying.

And Jason Williams is a short center, he is only 206 cm, because Da Ben now has an explosive head, at first glance he is not as tall as Da Ben.

At the power forward position, Xiao Ao faced Keith Van Horn, and he was completely smashed.

Van Horn's strength is not bad. After all, he averaged 19.7 points per game in his rookie season, so it can't be said that he is bad.

In addition, as a player who squeezed out Ma Jian's starting position at the University of Utah, he was said to be weak, and the number one power forward in the universe was the first to refuse.

It's just that Van Horn's rebounding and defense are a bit outrageous, averaging 6 rebounds per game. In any case, this is not the data that a team's core fourth position should have.

Under his defense, Jermaine Ao went straight to the seed and scored 31 points and 14 rebounds.

After blasting the Nets on the inside, the Raptors are not vegetarian on the outside. Even Bowen, who came off the bench for less than 10 minutes, scored 12 points.

After the game, Combe was surprised to find that Nets coach John Caliperi didn't say hello to him, and ran away.

This made Kongbu wonder, when did he offend Caliperi again?
Cali Perry has little influence in the NBA. This year is just his first year coaching the Nets. After three years of coaching the Nets, he can't get along in the NBA.

However, he has great influence in the NCAA, and was even elected to the Hall of Fame later.

"Didn't you kill me? It's only a small win of 15 points, and I've shown mercy."

"Could it be that he saw him dozing off just now?" Kong Bu thought with a dazed expression on his face.

After a while, he came back to his senses and figured out why.

This guy is a Larry Brown protégé!
In the 80s, he worked as an assistant coach for Larry Brown at the University of Kansas, and then he started to stand on his own, and mixed up and got into the position of head coach.

No wonder he didn't look at Kong Bu in the game just now.

Kong Bu slapped his thigh straight, regretting so much that he was about to bleed. If he had known that this guy was Larry Brown's man, he shouldn't have shown mercy just now.

Let this old boy escape, otherwise, how could he be killed by a difference of thirty cents!
