NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Chapter 20 Cruel Crushing

With the joining of Xiao Ao, the current lineup of the Raptors is getting closer and closer to the perfect body in Comb's mind.

The current Raptors' team rating has also undergone some minor changes.

"Toronto Raptors: The current overall team rating is A+."

"Offensive rating A+, defensive rating S-, rebounding rating A+."

"Player Potential Rating S-."

It still hasn't reached the S-level team rating, which may be related to Jermaine's current immediate combat power.

There must be a reason for being hidden by the snow. Xiao Ao's current combat power is really not that strong.

But with the help of the training field, none of that is a problem.

As long as the potential talent is good enough, the combat power can be improved immediately.

Comb predicts that by the time Ao Jr. becomes a full body, the Raptors should be able to reach the S-level smoothly.

That's just one notch away from the Chicago Bulls.

After getting Billups in the future, Combe is really confident to overthrow the Bulls and win this year's championship.

The regular season schedule continues, and the next two games of the Raptors are still at home.

against the Milwaukee Bucks and Cleveland Cavaliers.

The Raptors had a record of one win and one loss, losing to the stronger Cavaliers in the East and winning the Bucks.

It is worth mentioning that Xiao Ao did not appear in these two games.

Kong Bu wanted to let Xiao Ao train for a few days first. After six days of special training in the training field, Xiao Ao's progress was visible to the naked eye.

He is preparing to let Jermaine complete the Raptors debut in a better state, so as to build his self-confidence.

It just so happens that the Raptors' next four consecutive away games, the first game is against the Philadelphia 76ers, which is very suitable for Olivia Jr.

July 10, seven o'clock in the evening.

The Raptors' away game against the Philadelphia 76ers is about to begin.

A few years later, the 76ers were the strongest in the Eastern Conference and reached the finals, but now they are just a weak team at the bottom of the Eastern Conference.

"Tracey, tonight you play the first position and will directly face Iverson."

"All you need to do is to block his route to the basket. It's better to take a step to defend. As for his shooting, just defend it."

"Can it be done?"

Kong Bu began to assign tasks to the generals.

The easiest and easiest way to win the 76ers is to suppress Iverson's offense. As long as Iverson can't make damage at the basket, the 76ers are basically finished.

In the first two games, McGrady's performance still could not satisfy Kumbu.

As the saying goes, people move dead trees and move alive, and Kumbu decided to let McGrady try it in the first position, which may have some unexpected results.

To put it bluntly, the task assigned to McGrady is to prevent breakthroughs and prevent shots.

Iverson's speed is really too fast, if McGrady sticks to the defense, he may change direction and pass by him.

Now take a step to defend, McGrady has more reaction time.

Iverson's lethality at the basket is extremely amazing, and scoring is even secondary. The most terrifying thing is his ability to draw fouls.

Maybe after half a game, he can make the opponent's inside defensive gate bear four or five fouls.

Of course, this defensive method is not without problems, that is, it will allow Iverson to get a lot of shooting opportunities.

But Kumbu didn't care at all, and shooting was not Iverson's strong point.

The three-point ability is a bit eye-catching, especially this season, his shooting percentage can't even reach [-]%.

The mid-range shooting ability is not too strong, and his short-range and mid-range mid-range shooting percentages are less than 76%. It was not until his last two years with the [-]ers that his mid-range shooting improved a bit.

Looking at it this way, Iverson was somewhat similar to James at the beginning of his career, both relying on breakthroughs to make a living.

It's just that one relies on speed and technology, and the other relies on strength.

"can do it!"

McGrady replied that the work assigned by Kong Bu was not difficult in the first place.

"Stephen, Jamal, the two of you will start tonight. The defensive end is not under much pressure, but the offensive end must put pressure on the opponent."

Kong Bu looked at Wu Sheng and Mashburn who started tonight.

After Christie left, Mashburn finally got a stable starting position.

"Don't worry, coach, I have a hunch, I might still score 40 points tonight."

Wu Sheng grinned.

Suspended for three games, he has been looking forward to tonight's game.

"Marcus, you're going to match up with Coleman tonight."

"I think with your defensive strength, it will be difficult for Coleman to score in double digits tonight."

Combe smiled at Camby.

What he said was like Mu Chunfeng, Le's big teeth bared out.

Coleman is not an unknown person. The No. 1990 pick in the 20 draft and the former head of the Nets, he easily scored 10+[-] top insiders per game.

It's a pity that after coming to the 95ers in 76, due to injuries and self-discipline, his strength has declined a lot.

Although he can still produce 18 points and 10 rebounds, his offensive efficiency is a bit horrible. It is a typical example of the more shots he takes, the faster he loses the game.

"Big Ben, go find their Ratliff matchup tonight, pay attention, you must follow him closely and get stuck in his position."

"Don't give him a chance to steal blocks."

"In addition, I have another job to give you, and I will talk about it after the game starts."

Kong Bu smiled mysteriously.

Ratliff is the starting center of the 76ers and can be regarded as another Camby. The styles of the two are too similar.

The offensive ability is average, and they are all at the level of averaging 10 points and 8 points per game.

In terms of rebounding ability, neither of them is actually very strong, but Camby is a level better than Ratliff.

In terms of defense, these two are not good at single defense. They are both good at assisting defense and supplementary defense.

In Ratliff's peak season, he even averaged 4.4 blocks per game.

In the face of this style of players, it is not difficult to restrict them. Find a player who can crush him and keep an eye on him. If he is stuck in his position, he will be able to suppress his chances of stealing blocks very well.

Daben is undoubtedly the best candidate.

That is to say, Camby is now a member of the Raptors. If he is an opponent, Combe will use similar methods to target him.

"In addition, I don't want to see any water in this game."

"I want a hearty victory."

"No, I want to see a brutal crush, I want Larry Brown to think we're going to have nightmares!"

Kumbu licked the corner of his mouth with a cruel smile on his face.

The generals were taken aback, why did they mention the 76ers coach Larry Brown so well?

Could it be that there is something wrong between Comb and Larry Brown?
Thinking of this, the generals were immediately full of energy, and it was time to repay Kongbu.

Most of the Raptors players, their gratitude to Combu has reached the point where they can't be more grateful, and finally looking forward to this kind of opportunity to repay Combu, of course they don't want to miss it.

Especially Big Ben, the muscles on his arms began to swell, and he mustered up all his strength, waiting for the game to officially start.

Half an hour later, players from both sides began to enter the field.

According to the usual practice, the head coaches of the two sides will shake hands before the game.

Comb sat on the bench and didn't intend to shake hands with Larry Brown at all.

He felt sick to his stomach at the sight of Larry Brown's old face.

If there is really one coach in this league that Comb looks down on from the bottom of his heart, it can only be Larry Brown.
