NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Chapter 50 I Want Ma Hong, Chief Thug Ma Hong

After Kong Bu returned to the hotel, within a quarter of an hour, Da Ben and the others also came back safe and sound.

Thinking of what happened tonight, they had to scold the old ghosts of New York again.

After Big Ben and the others fell asleep, Combe called old Thomas.

"You kid didn't ask me to help you plead with Stern, did you?"

"You think too highly of me, Stern will not sell my face."

Thomas Sr. also knew that Combe had just left from Stern.

"No, Stern has already been dealt with by me."

"I need your help with something else."

Old Thomas said that at one o'clock in the morning when he was sleepless.

Kumbu got rid of Stern, who is not good at anything?How did this kid do it?
Does he really have any magical powers?
I have been in the league for decades, and the status and connections in the league are definitely not comparable to that of Combe, but I still feel a little nervous when I see Stern.

Some stupid players are not afraid of Stern, they are purely ignorant and fearless. They don't know how terrifying Stern's dominance in this league is.

If you want to kill a player's career, Stern has a hundred different ways.

"What are you busy with?"

Old Thomas asked anxiously. He suddenly discovered that the insignificant boy a few months ago had gradually gained considerable energy.

This energy can actually affect Stern!
"Help me trade someone over here."

"Who? We don't seem to be short of people in the team now. Are you worried that after the suspension, the next record will be affected?"

"Don't worry, we haven't encountered any kind of hard life, and losing a game is nothing."

"And we still have three little guys, so the record may not be bad."

Old Thomas chatted endlessly.

"No, it has nothing to do with the suspension."

"I want Rick Mahon!"

"Rick Mahon of the Pistons, your chief thug!"

Combe's words made old Thomas's scalp tingle.

Even a fool should have guessed Kumbu's intentions. This guy had no intention of letting go of the Knicks at all.

He is recruiting thugs for the next game against the Knicks.

To be precise, it may not be a game, but a boxing fight.

In an instant, old Thomas began to mourn for the Knicks. What do you think you are doing to provoke the evil star of Combe?
"Kong, do you really want to make things so big? We actually didn't suffer tonight."

"Bought Ma Hong here, and the matter deteriorated, and it was obvious that he was going to die forever."

Old Thomas began to persuade.

He didn't sympathize with the old bastards of the Knicks, but he didn't want Comb's career to be affected.

"It's a loss if you don't suffer, and what I want is to live forever."

"Ma Hong's matter, can you do it? If you can't do it, I will talk to the Pistons."

It is not without reason that Combe is so determined to want Rick Mahon.

Among the well-known hitters in NBA history, Ma Hong must be ranked at least in the top three.

He is a man who can really hit from position one to position five on the field. The hit here refers to hitting with fists, one hit five!

Even a master like Old Oak Oakley can't get any cheap in front of Rick Mahon.

Compared with Oakley, Mahon is more pure.

In addition to his status as a bodyguard, Oakley has good personal combat power, and averaging a double-double per game is not difficult for him.

He even holds the NBA single-game rebounding record since 1985. In the game against the Cavaliers, he scored 35 rebounds.

But Ma Hong is different, he is a pure thug.

He has never averaged double-doubles in rebounds per game in any season in his career, and scoring is not his forte, and he often averages four or five points per game.

This season, he averaged 2 points and 3 rebounds per game for the Pistons, which is an absolute marginal.

He entered the league in 80 and has been playing for 17 years now.

In addition to holding a championship ring from the Pistons period, there is only one defensive second team honor.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for such a player to have such a long career life.

Ma Hong's career is so long, relying on that pair of iron fists.

In the early 80s, he worked as a bodyguard for the famous Jeff Louland in the Bullets.

In the late 80s, he went to the Pistons and became the chief thug of the Bad Boys.

In the first two years of the 90s, he served as a bodyguard for Flying Pig Barkley in the Philadelphia 76ers.

Then he returned to the Pistons and became Grant Hill's bodyguard, which has been up to now.

Even at the age of 39, no one in this league would dare to underestimate Mahon's fist.

"Can it be done? Combe, who do you look down on?"

"Do you know who is the biggest star in the history of the Pistons? It's Isiah Thomas!"

"There are all my old brothers who want Mahon, I just say a word."

Old Thomas patted his chest and jingled, and immediately settled the matter.

Comb's mood has improved a lot. Facing the old New York ghost, if there is one more Rick Mahon, the situation will be different immediately.

The next time he encounters the old ghosts of New York, Combe is confident that they will not be able to eat them.

……

At eight o'clock the next morning, after waking up, Combe asked Newman about the league's punishment plan.

Xiao Hua must have worked overtime last night, and kicked out the punishment plan overnight.

On the Knicks side, aunt Larry Johnson was suspended for [-] games and fined [-]!
Kong Bu's heart skipped a beat, is the punishment so heavy?
It seems that their Raptors will also be punished heavily this time.

Oakley, Starks and Houston were all suspended for ten games and fined.

Ewing received the lightest punishment and was only suspended for three games.

It may be because Ewing didn't do anything during the scuffle, but was beaten by Da Ben.

But even with a three-game suspension, Ewing's loss would be enormous.

His annual salary is close to 2100 million, the suspension is not paid, and the three-game suspension lost 80 million US dollars.

The combined annual salaries of Da Ben and Wu Sheng are not so much.

Head coach Jeff Van Gundy was also suspended for five games and fined $[-].

For Van Gundy Jr., this penalty was a disastrous loss.

His qualifications are relatively low, and his annual salary is only 270 million. He was fined [-] at once, which must be painful.

This is not counting the thirty thousand dollars he owes Comb.

The situation with the Raptors is a bit special. All five players on the court, plus the coach Combe, were suspended for seven games without exception.

It is worth mentioning that the league did not impose any fines on the Raptors.

It may be that Stern considers that everyone in the Raptors is some poor ghosts.

A big stone fell in Kong Bu's heart, and the result of this punishment was much lighter than he thought.

Most likely, the conversation with Stern last night played a role. Right now, Stern wants to open up the Chinese market and has reached the point of bewilderment.

In order to achieve this goal, he did not hesitate to go to the heaven thousands of miles away to be the grandson of others.

Kong Bu said that he could help him, and he immediately expressed his sincerity.

At noon that day, the league's punishment plan for the two teams caused an uproar.

Originally, many people were waiting to see the Raptors' jokes, especially those from the Larry Brown family.

Who is the Knicks?Stern's own son.

His son was beaten, can Stern let it go?
It is foreseeable that the punishment of the Raptors must be extremely serious, so severe that it will collapse this newly emerging army.

But when the punishment plan came out, they were all dumbfounded.

What is this ghost?

It seems that Knicks, his own son, was punished a little harder?
Stern getting confused?Can't even tell who is his own son?
In other words, the Raptors are now the sons of the league?
According to the 76ers assistant coach, Larry Brown seemed to have locked himself in the office again and broke several cups.
