NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Chapter 94 There is a chance that five players will be selected as All-Stars?

Old Thomas was curiously looking at the skinny Billups in front of him.

He didn't have any idea about this transaction, he didn't think it was a profit or a loss.

The main reason is that Snow is doomed not to be able to keep it next season. In that case, he can get back some bargaining chips and minimize some losses as much as possible.

In the previous rookie trial training before the draft, because the Raptors had a small flying mouse, Thomas Sr. did not try out Billups.

This is the first meeting.

Dry, thin, inarticulate, lacking in self-confidence, even afraid to look people in the eye, this is the first impression of old Thomas.

In Billups, he does not see the slightest possibility of becoming a top point guard.

"Come on, go to my office."

Combe pushed the door in, ready to lead Billups away.

"Hey, is there anything you can't talk about in front of me?"

"I'm a Hall of Famer and Top [-] star point guard, and I want to pass on some experience to this kid."

Old Thomas yelled.

"I can talk to you in front of you, but I am afraid that you will bind me again and sell me to other teams."

Combe teased.

"What? I don't understand what you're saying at all."

"No, I haven't done it!"

"I warned you not to speak indiscriminately, and I will sue you for slander, do you know? I will sue you for slander!"

"Young man, did you hear, slander, he is slandering me!"

Old Thomas panicked immediately, blushing like a monkey's butt, jumped up and pulled Billups beside him as a life-saving straw.

Combre went crazy and dragged Billups away.

Of course, he couldn't just listen to Ernie's one-sided words, maybe it was just a casual talk when the two called to discuss the deal.

But seeing old Thomas' flustered appearance, he was probably moved.

His career is not too long, only 13 years, and he only received a pitiful salary of 1600 million US dollars in total.

Thinking about Da Zhi’s 1300 million this year and Da Ben’s 1500 million next season, you can see why old Thomas is eager to make money.

Fortunately, he just thought about it and didn't really put it into action.

After Combe left, Old Thomas was so embarrassed that he tapped his toes on the ground, "Damn Ernie, he must have told Combe too much."

"It's so embarrassing, I don't want to live anymore."

……

"sit down."

After Combe ushered Billups into his office, he motioned for him to sit down.

At the same time, he began to check Billups' attributes.

After a glance, Kong Bu smiled wryly. This attribute is really rubbish.

The three-point attribute is better than Snow, and the CIC attribute is roughly the same, both around 72 points.

Then the organizational attributes and defensive attributes are not a bit worse than Snow.

For example, the perimeter defensive attributes, Snow has now reached 89 points, while Billups only has 62 points.

Usually, he was used to the luxurious attributes of McGrady and others, but when he suddenly saw such a shabby one, Kong Bu could only smile wryly.

The health value is good, with 91 points, the fighting spirit is only 32 points, which is even less than McGrady's back then.

It's normal to think about it. Encountering that kind of fairy dance almost ruined his career. It's no wonder he can be so motivated.

"Chauncey, who do you think will win if you and Snow go one-on-one?"

Kumbu started the chatter mode, and the most important thing now is to quickly boost the fighting spirit of the flounder.

"It should be him, his defense gives people a sense of suffocation."

Billups whispered.

"Yes, now we have discovered your first merit, you are an honest young man."

"You are indeed no match for Snow, but that is only temporary."

"The time I entered the NBA is actually about the same as you, but in such a short period of time, I traded five times and signed two free agents."

"Every operation can prove that I have an extremely unique vision."

"Did the old man see it just now? I can guarantee that your future achievements will never be lower than him!"

The old man that Kong Bu mentioned naturally refers to old Thomas.

Billups' pupils dilated, and the young coach who was in the limelight in front of him actually valued himself so much?
He actually said that his future achievements could be compared to the smiling assassin? !

Don't look at the old Thomas who has been bullied by Combe all the time, but his player career is extremely brilliant, and he must have one of the top five point guards in history.

"Coach, can I really?"

Billups couldn't describe the feeling in his heart. After that incident, he felt that he was finished.

Poor performance on the court and scandals off the court, which team would be willing to cultivate such a player?
Who would have thought that another village would be brighter than the willow flowers, and he was taken by Kongbu.

Who is Combe?Recognized as the best coach in the league, the players he likes are all the same.

Hope rose in Billups' heart, maybe his own good luck is coming?
"Yes, of course!"

"What you have to do now is to completely forget about everything in the past, don't think about anything, and train with the team well."

"Two months, no, one month later, you will find that you are better than I said."

Combe has been observing the changes in Billups' attributes. After he finished speaking, his fighting spirit has risen from 32 points to 70 points.

Apparently Kumbu's chicken soup had a pretty good effect.

During the team training in the afternoon, Combe introduced Billups to the Raptors, and he officially joined the team.

There is a training match on the court.

Comb sat on the sidelines and watched quietly. He didn't even bother to watch Billups' performance. With his attributes, any core Raptors player could torture him.

He is thinking about two things.

At noon, I got two pieces of news from old Thomas.

One piece of news is that the NBA All-Star Weekend is still one and a half months away, and the first round of voting will begin soon.

Another news is that the Dream Team [-] is selecting a new coach, and the old Thomas urged Comb to give it a try.

He obviously has no good intentions. With Kong Bu's identity and qualifications, how could he be elected as the coach of the Dream Team IV? This old Deng Chunchun just wanted to see Kong Bu's jokes.

"It looks like I have to get votes for Dazhi and the others. I don't know if Stern has opened the voting channel for the Celestial Dynasty this year."

"If it is opened, Dazhi's selection is a certainty."

Comb decided to call Stern at night to ask if he could be selected as an All-Star. This matter is very important to Da Zhi.

Nowadays, Kongbu has a lot of generals under his command, and some of them are extremely popular.

For example, McGrady and Jermaine Jr., both high school players, have played more than one exclusive night this season, and their personal data is also good. The chance of being selected as an All-Star is very high.

小奥目前场均17.8分8.2篮板1.5助攻2.1盖帽1抢断，是完全有资格跟奇才的韦伯去竞争一下东部第一大前锋的。

The data is not as good as Webber, but Weber averaged 40 minutes per game, and Jerome is currently averaging 31 minutes per game. According to the conversion of 36 minutes, Jerome is even slightly better.

Comb remembers that the starting All-Star forwards in the Eastern Conference this year were Rainman Kemp and Grant Hill. Both Webber and Pippen were unable to play due to injuries.

For Webber's average playing time, it doesn't make sense for him not to get injured.

It is impossible for Kemp to compete against Jerome. If all goes well, Jerome will definitely have a chance to become the starting All-Star in the Eastern Conference.

In fact, Dazhi has always played the position of power forward, but when Stern declared his information at the time, he wrote it as a center without asking. After all, a player with a height of 216, the devil would know that he played the fourth position.

If he goes to participate in the All-Star, Da Zhi can only participate in the election as a center.

Right now, there are 12 All-Stars in the East and West, two centers, four forwards, and four guards. The remaining two spots will depend on the situation.

In addition to the Raptors, there are only three centers in the East who can play, namely Uncle Mu, Ewing and Mourning.

Kumbu clearly remembered that Mourning and Ewing were not selected for this year's All-Stars. Instead, Schmitz of the Pacers was selected. big.

Camby is probably dead, even with a 40+ five-by-five super triple-double, but the average per game is too poor, only about 8 points, 8 rebounds and 3 blocks.

大本倒是有些机会，目前场均3.8分13.4篮板1.4助攻3.6盖帽1.2抢断，到时候兴许最后那两个名额能被他拿到一个。

Wu Sheng also has a chance, and the chance may even be greater than Da Ben.

场均15.7分3.2篮板3.1助攻1.8抢断1.1盖帽，要知道这是个次轮秀新秀打出来的数据，何等的励志。

In terms of guards, Jordan is sure to occupy a starting spot, and McGrady will compete with Reggie Miller and Penny Hardaway for the last starting qualification.

Even if he has never competed with these two, McGrady can almost secure a substitute qualification.

McGrady is currently averaging 20.1 points, 4.2 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 1.4 steals per game. Considering his age, there is no possibility that he will not be selected.

The guard competition in the East is much higher than in the West. Iverson's scoring average is higher than McGrady's. Unfortunately, the team's record is so rubbish that he doesn't even have the chance to be a substitute.

Of course, the competition between centers and forwards in the west is much more intense than in the east.

Of the four major centers, three are in the West, and power forwards include Duncan, Garnett, Barkley, and Vin Baker.

Kumbu counted with his fingers.

Da Zhi, Xiao Ao and McGrady are steadily progressing. Da Ben and Wu Sheng have a chance. If they all make it, doesn't it mean that the Raptors have a chance to be selected as an All-Star this year?
