NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Chapter 98 Two and a half years of practice

After a big victory, the atmosphere in the Raptors eased a lot.

But Billups is still an outsider, usually alone, looking very pitiful.

After playing the Pistons, the Raptors' opponent in the next game ushered in the Eagles again.

During the warm-up before the game, Wilkens inevitably molested Konbu again, which made Konbu lose his temper completely.

He knew that Wilkens meant no harm, he acted like the kind of weirdo who likes to play a friend's son, just for fun, and Combe wasn't crazy enough to turn against him.

This is only the Raptors' second game against the Hawks this season, and there are two more to face Wilkens in the next two games. If they meet in the playoffs, it will be even more troublesome for Comb.

I don't know what's wrong with this old man, he likes to misidentify his son so much.

The Raptors won the game with ease, and Steve Smith really felt the dangers of society.

Throughout the whole game, he encountered McGrady, Wu Sheng, and Mashburn's round-robin defense one after another. Even when he found some touch, two of the three must come to double-team him.

Out of 21 shots in the game, he only hit 6 and scored 16 points.

As the only outside main attack point of the Eagles, he was restricted, and the Eagles were almost cold.

After the game, Combe watched Wilkens smirk and looked at himself again, ran away in a hurry, and did not shake hands after the game.

When returning to the office, I passed by Old Thomas's office.

There was a fierce quarrel inside, which instantly ignited Kong Bu's gossip, and he lay on the door and listened.

"Glenn, don't be emotional, don't put your emotions into your work."

"We have known each other for 20 years, am I going to hurt you?"

The voice of old Thomas came from the office, and it should be general manager Glenn Grunwald who was arguing with him.

Kumbu was elated, good guy, there must be super gossip to listen to.

He remembered that Glenn had a wife, and his daughter was in her 20s. From what old Thomas said, it seemed that Glenn had an extramarital affair?
Could it be possible to get together with the cheerleaders?

"You also know that we have known each other for 20 years? You know best how you treat me."

"You don't have me in your heart at all, only yourself, you selfish old thing who deserves to go to hell."

Glenn roared loudly, trying to express his dissatisfaction with old Thomas.

Kong Bu, who was eavesdropping on the door, changed his face drastically. What's the matter?How do you hear this tone, Glenn's extramarital affair is old Thomas?

Do you want to run away quickly, if old Thomas finds out that you are eavesdropping, you may be silenced.

It's a pity that this kind of big gossip is so exciting, Wu Jing stepped on Jay Chou, it was so wonderful, Kong Bu still had the courage to continue listening.

"Look, you put your feelings into your work again."

"Amy is a good girl. I watched her grow up and treated him as my own daughter. I don't want her to be a sheep."

"Do you really think that kid is a good thing? He is so shameless. I have never seen a more shameless young man than him."

Old Thomas' words did not calm Glenn's anger.

"Excuses, all are excuses."

"I know you are afraid that after the two young people are really together, that kid and I will take away your rights, and you will become me now."

"What kind of character is Combe, can I not know?"

"I never go to nightclubs to fool around, I don't have any bad habits, my private life is clean, and I have never lost my temper with my own people."

"The height and appearance are all good, at least better than your donkey dung ball."

"More importantly, you and I both know that he will be the most dazzling coach in this league in the future, with a bright future!"

"God, he is only 28 years old, and next year he will get an annual salary of tens of millions!"

"Is there a better man on earth than him? If you were a woman, I could swear you would crawl into his bed tonight."

Kong Bu, who was stunned outside the door, looked stunned. Is there another man named Kong Bu in the Raptors?
Why is the Combe that Glenn is talking about so strange to him?

He never went to nightclubs to hang out, that's because Kong Bu was so poor that if he hadn't stolen $[-] from Van Gundy, he wouldn't be able to eat now.

Clean private life?Kong Bu also wanted to have an affair, but unfortunately, he was too busy to meet girls at all.

The cheerleaders in the team are not only inaccessible to the players, but also to the coaches.

Comb generally understood what happened, and the two were chatting in the office, chatting and chatting, and they talked about Glenn's daughter Amy.

Glenn thought about introducing his daughter to Combe. After all, Combe was the best man on earth in his eyes.

Speaking of which, Glenn was right. Comb's conditions in all aspects were indeed perfect.

The old Thomas strongly opposed it, and the reason he gave was that he was worried that the two would break up after they talked about it, which would affect Comb's work.

I don't know if he really has such concerns. Maybe Glenn is right. Old Thomas is worried that he will be ostracized.

Glenn thought of his tragic career in the past few years, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he quarreled with old Thomas directly.

Comb was in a bad mood. He had just met Wilkens, who wanted to be his wild father, and Glenn, who wanted to be his mother-in-law.

Other people's time travel is to accept younger brothers, but this time travel of mine is good, because it is all about accepting fathers.

He didn't stop, and hurriedly fled the scene to prevent being discovered by the two people in the office.

……

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed, the time has entered February, and there are only two weeks left before the All-Star Weekend.

Billups' special training has come to an end, one month of training, thirty times the increase effect, equal to two and a half years!

Chauncey Billups, a personal trainee who has been practicing for two and a half years, now has his moment to prove himself.

It is not necessary for him to be good at singing and dancing rap, he must first play his professional basketball well.

Before putting Billups on the court, Combe has one more important thing to do, which is to fill the flounder with a bowl of chicken soup.

After more than half a month of DNP, the Flounder's fighting spirit has only 7 points left.

The whole person is similar to the walking dead, and he never slackens in training, but the whole person is listless and looks like he has nothing to love.

Just appearing in this state, even if he has Jordan's attributes, he is still abused.

"Tomorrow night's game against the Rockets, I'm going to let you start."

After calling Flounder to the office, Kong Bu said straight to the point.

Flounder's eyes first flashed a hint of surprise, and then they were filled with death-grey loneliness.

"Coach, thank you for not giving up on me."

"But my strength has been holding back the team. I can't start the game."

Billups kept his head down, rubbing his fingers like a child who has done something wrong.

"shit!"

"What does it mean to hold back the team? Your words are slapping me in the face of Kumbu!"

"I, Kumbu, have never lost sight of the transactions I dealt with."

"Now the whole league is laughing at me. If you say you can't fight, you can't fight? Where can I put my old face?"

"Now you have to fight if you can, and you have to fight if you can't. Not only do you have to fight, but you have to shoot me at least thirty times on the court!"

"One less time, I will suspend you for one game in the team, the kind of suspension without salary!"

"Thirty times less, congratulations, you have no salary this season."

Comb was so angry that he slapped the table and roared loudly at Billups.

He wasn't really angry in his heart, mainly because he felt that it was useless to pour chicken soup into Billups with a single-digit fighting spirit, so he simply added some strong medicine.

Billups was startled by the furious Combe, and his body trembled slightly, like a frightened quail.

"Coach, I..."

"What are you? Do you know how the outside world laughs at you now?"

"They say you're the worst No. [-] pick in NBA history, even Chris Washburn is better than you."

"Is this mocking you? Actually, it's mocking me, because I exchanged Snow for the best player in history."

There are many controversies about the candidate for the most water-worthy No. [-] pick in NBA history, but when it comes to the most water-worthy pick, it must be Washburn.

As the saying goes, there must be water at the top of the list. Whether it is the top pick or the second place, there are countless cases of water falling.

I don’t know why, but the chances of losing the top picks are extremely low. From the draft in the 60s to the current 1998, only Washburn was really lost.

Not only can't water, but the probability of being a super giant on the outside is still very high. For example, Jordan, Penny and Hill are all third-round picks, and so are Anthony, Harden and Doncic later.

Walsh is really hot. He averaged 3.8 points and 2.9 rebounds per game in his rookie season. He only played three seasons and scored a total of 222 points.

To say that Billups is worse than Washburn is extremely insulting.

So tall that Billups clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

"The next game is not only about your career, but also about my face."

"Thirty shots, you can't do without one."

"Don't worry about scoring or not, even if you close your eyes and shoot, you have to finish the shot for me."

"You got a high score, congratulations, you will be able to secure the position of the Raptors' starting point guard."

"It doesn't matter if we don't get high scores. Our Raptors have a good record and can afford to lose."

Comb finally issued a death order, that is, Billups must take [-] shots in the next game against the Rockets!
Thirty shots in a single game is almost equivalent to unlimited firing rights.

Even for some players with unlimited shooting rights, he can only take so many shots in a few games a season.

Kong Bu is now trying to force a flounder, to push him to the edge of a cliff, where he cannot stand without being broken.

The reason why the Rockets were chosen as Billups' proof battle is that, apart from the two and a half years of his practice, he just passed the customs, and there is also a reason why the Rockets point guard is very weak.

The Rockets' record is not good, currently ranked seventh and eighth in the Western Conference, a proper goalkeeper for the playoffs.

But no team in the entire league dares to underestimate the Rockets led by Dameng.

Everyone knows that the reason why the Rockets have an unremarkable record is purely to recharge their batteries and prepare for the playoffs.

There is no way, the Rockets' lineup is too old, and the five core players in the team are almost old enough to receive social security.

The big dream Olajuwon is 35 years old, the glider is 36 years old, Barkley is 35 years old, the evergreen tree Kevin Willis is 36 years old, and the garbage dog Mario Eli is 35 years old.

It is worth mentioning that the evergreen Willis played until the age of 45 before retiring, making him the second oldest player in NBA history.

As for Ellie's nickname of Trash Dog, it's a bit of a shared nickname. Many people in the history of the league have been given the nickname of Trash Dog.

For example, Jerome Williams, who entered the league in 96, was Iverson's college teammate and also had the nickname Trash Dog.

Later, Beverly was also called a garbage dog, but the Chinese people prefer to call him a mad dog.

The idea of ​​Rockets coach Tomjanovich is very simple, that is, to play casually in the regular season and retain physical fitness for the playoffs. Their lineup has only one purpose, and that is to win the championship.

And if you want to win the championship, you will meet those strong teams sooner or later. It is the same if you meet in the morning or evening. Instead of being exhausted in the regular season, it is better to directly enter the playoffs with the eighth record and face the No. [-] in the Western Conference.

Win the first place in the Western Conference and continue to fight for the championship. If you lose, there is nothing to regret.

The five core players are all about 35 years old. Not only are they old, but they also have a lot of salary, which leads to the Rockets having no salary space to reinforce the No. [-] position.

Their current No. 96 position is a young man. Matt Maloney, the undrafted pick in [-], has a basic salary of about [-] yuan to help a group of old men.

It's a bit similar to Rondo who was next to the Big Three of Green Kai, but Rondo was a first-round pick anyway, and his strength is not comparable to that of Maloney.

To say that the weakest point guard in the league, Maloney, who is young, unfit and weak, will definitely get the votes of Comb.

Choosing to let Billups play in this game is just to squeeze a soft persimmon.

PS: For the sake of insisting on daily million, we will order recommendation tickets and monthly tickets in the new month, thank you brothers
