NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Chapter 92

In the game against the Pacers, the Raptors still lost in the end.

Those who lose have no temper.

Even if Bowen came back, he and McGrady couldn't resist the three-point firepower of killer Reggie Miller and God's left hand Chris Mullin.

As one of the most famous players in the league today, Miller must have nicknames. Except for the nickname of Big Mouth, his other nicknames are related to murder.

Killer, Knick Killer and Freddy.

Freddy is the killer in the movie A Nightmare on Elm Street.

Three-pointers are the deadliest weapon in Miller's hands. Tonight's 7-of-5 three-pointers made a difference in the outcome of the game.

As for God's left-handed Mullin, he is almost 35 years old now, and his three-point ability is getting older and more demonic. A raptor, even a complete raptor can be crushed to death.

You must know that this Pacers, under normal circumstances, played seven games against the Bulls in the Eastern Conference Finals this season before deciding the winner.

Even in the final tiebreaker, the Pacers only lost to the Bulls by five points. If it weren't for the three All-Star insiders in the team in that game, they only grabbed four offensive rebounds, plus Dell Davis made 10 free throws. In 3, the Bulls dynasty may have been overthrown by them.

That's right, this Pacers team has three All-Star insiders, namely Yao Ming's draft template Rick Schmitz, Dale Davis and Antonio Davis.

Jordan grabbed five offensive rebounds in the tiebreaker, Pippen grabbed six offensive rebounds, and each offensive rebound represents one more offensive opportunity for his side.

The three brothers of the Pacers grabbed four offensive rebounds together, resulting in a total of [-] fewer shots than the Bulls. In fact, all three of them should be pulled to shoot.

The Pacers took 56 shots and the Bulls took 76 shots. In the end, they only won by five points. You should be able to see how dangerous the Bulls won.

It seems that the Pacers just don't have the chance to win the championship. Whenever there is a chance to win the championship, there will always be some troubles.

This year's offensive rebound, tomorrow's Palace of Auburn Hills incident.

In other words, Bird's good luck ran out during his player period, and both of the Pacers' failures occurred when he was at the helm.

What made Kong Bu angry was that the Pacers, the three big fools, played very hard tonight. Facing Xiao Ao and Da Zhi, they didn't show too obvious disadvantages.

Of course there are still disadvantages, but they are not fatal.

After losing to the Pacers, the Raptors ushered in a second-game losing streak.

As the saying goes, there are only three things. Kumbu doesn't want to continue losing to the Eagles. In addition, this is Snow's farewell game. He can't go to the Green Kai with a three-game losing streak.

To this day, Combe has not actually informed Snow of being traded.

He really didn't know what to say.

It has been less than two months since he was traded from the old Carl of the Supersonics.

In the days of the Raptors, he has always been reserved. As long as there is training, he is always the first to arrive and the last to leave.

With hard training and the blessing of the training field, he has already reached his peak.

Hardworking off the court and desperate on the court, as long as he is on the court, Kumbu will never worry about the opponent's No. [-] position being able to blow up his own side.

He has a good temper and always has a shy smile on his face.

Kumbu sold a few players before, such as Christie and Boss, but the contact time with them is not long, and the relationship is not deep, so Kumbu will not have any feelings.

The situation is completely different now. Snow seems to be a child raised by himself, so he left him like this, and Kong Bu felt very reluctant to part with him.

It's a pity that no matter how reluctant it is, it's time to say goodbye. Kong Bu has a reason to sell Snow.

Leaving Billups aside, Snow's contract alone makes it difficult for the Raptors to keep him.

This is Snow's third season, and he will have bird rights next season. When the new salary agreement comes out, he can theoretically get a five-year maximum salary contract.

Of course, the premise is that there is a team willing to give it.

The Raptors just renewed Da Ben’s contract with an annual salary of 1500 million in advance. There are still players in the team such as Wu Sheng, Da Zhi and Bowen who need to be retained. Let alone the maximum salary, the annual salary of 400 million is enough to give Sri Lanka. promise.

And other teams, such as the Green Kai, where Snow is about to go, even if they don't give Snow a maximum salary, a contract with an average annual salary of 800 million is not a problem at all, and it is not impossible to bite the bullet and give a contract of tens of millions.

"Eric, how long have you been with the Raptors?"

Even though it was difficult for him to speak, Kong Bu still had the courage to call Snow over.

You can't tell Snow on the day when the deal is officially announced, that's not something a human can do.

"52 days!"

Snow still had that shy smile on his face.

As soon as the words fell, he seemed to realize something, the smile disappeared, and turned into loneliness.

Like a child who lost a favorite toy.

"Coach, have I been traded?" Snow lowered his head and asked softly.

Kumbu rubbed his forehead. As a straight man of steel, he didn't want Snow to see his pain.

"Actually, I have already foreseen this day."

"I prayed to God many times that this day would come later, but unfortunately it came so soon."

"These 52 days with the Raptors were the happiest of my life."

The more Snow said, the more pathetic his tone became, which made Kong Bu feel very sad. He felt like a scumbag who had always been in chaos and abandoned.

"Eric, it's actually good for you to be traded out."

"You must know the salary situation of our Raptors, and you must also know the old Thomas' preference for inside players."

"It's impossible for him to give you a big contract."

Combe sighed.

"Coach, although I'm the one with the worst talent in the team, I'm not a fool."

"I know being traded is not a bad thing for me."

"I'm just sorry that I couldn't do something for you before I left."

"Without you, I would still be just a substitute for the Sonics. You changed my life."

"My gratitude to you is absolutely no less than that of Big Ben and the others."

"Coach, thank you for your care during this time. I will never forget you in my life. Every time I see this small tattoo, I can think of these 52 good days."

After finishing speaking, Snow raised his left wrist, on which there was a tattoo the size of a thumb, which was the word horror.

You can't see it unless you look carefully.

"First of all, you are not the one with the worst talent on our team, Bowen is."

"Secondly, what's the status of your tattoos? Don't tell me, you all have tattoos."

Kong Bu was terrified. What on earth did these boys do behind their backs?
Snow squeezed out a smile, "I don't know about the others, anyway, Stephen must have it, because the two of us went there together."

"This kid really deserves a beating. I have to deal with him when I find a chance."

"What a joke!"

Kong Bu was so angry with Wu Sheng that he was speechless, this guy is really capable of causing trouble.

Everything that needs to be said has been said. Originally, Kumbu wanted to make a joke, so he said to Snow: "Go and get a big contract."

It's a pity that seeing Snow's distraught appearance, he really couldn't make this joke.

"It's not life and death, we can still meet often."

"And we are still so young, who said that I will not have the opportunity to continue coaching you in the future."

"After arriving in Boston, don't slack off and continue to train hard."

"Have a good relationship with your teammates. If there are old guys in the team who are not good at bullying you, remember to call me."

"Even if you leave the Raptors, you are still my disciple of Kongbu."

"I can't solve it, and Daben and the others, remember, no one in this alliance can bully us!"

Snow burst into tears as he spoke, and nodded vigorously at Kong Bu.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the home game between the Raptors and the Eagles is about to start.

"Kong, I've been looking forward to this game, and I want to see what the young man who turned the league upside down looks like."

"Sure enough, you are a talented person. To be honest, you look very similar to me when I was young."

Hawks coach Lenny Wilkens walked onto the court and greeted Comb warmly.

This is a real super famous marshal, definitely not the kind of person who cheats the world.

A nine-time All-Star in his player career, he was selected into the Hall of Fame and the Top [-] Superstars as a player.

In his coaching career, he has a championship and the best coach. This year, he will be inducted into the Hall of Fame as a coach, and he is also one of the top ten coaches.

The first Qiansheng coach in history!
There is no one in today's league who can match Wilkens' resume.

Combe looked at Wilkens intently, and he found a very strange thing. In his memory, Wilkens' father was black and his mother was Irish. Logically speaking, he should be black, but Wilken Si happened to have an Asian-looking face.

It is not difficult to understand why Wilkens would say that Combe looks like him when he was young.

"Won't I discover the mysterious formula, right? Black people and Irish people can give birth to Asian faces?" Kumbu thought dumbfoundingly.

"Mr. Wilkens, I don't have your temperament."

Combe half-truths and half-truths.

Wilkens really has an extraordinary temperament, especially the photo of smoking a cigar on the sidelines, which is unrestrained, free and easy, and full of domineering, which can be called a classic.

"It's really weird, the more you look at it, the more it looks like it."

"It won't be..." Wilkens stared at Combe with a strange expression.

Combe shook his head quickly. He knew what Wilkens was thinking, and it was best for him not to think about it.

"Impossible, I have never been to the United States before, and my parents have never been to the United States!"

"Okay, then I'm relieved, it really shocked me, I thought..."

"But if it's true, it doesn't seem to be a bad thing. It's my honor to have such an excellent child like you."

Wilkens put his arm around Combe's shoulder and laughed.

Kongbu wants to cry but has no tears, is it plausible?Is it plausible?Before the game started, they started to take advantage of themselves.

The two stood on the sidelines and chatted for a while, Wilkens thought deeply from time to time, and then looked at Kongbu with strange eyes, causing Kongbu to run away quickly.

He was really afraid that Wilkens would have some "unreasonable thoughts".
