NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Chapter 415 Dazhi’s forced palace
They took the lead in the first half, but Kongbu didn't feel that his Nets were really sure of the Knicks. After all, the Knicks' background was still amazing, and they still had a chance to come back in the second half.

As a result, after the halftime break, Combs suddenly discovered that Da Zhi was missing among the Knicks players returning to the court.

Larry Brown didn't know what kind of irritation he received. His face turned red and his neck was thick with anger, and he walked out of the tunnel of the locker room angrily.

Howard looked embarrassed, Marion looked sad, and old cat Mobley sighed. Obviously there was a problem in the Knicks locker room.

Combs could predict that the Knicks would definitely have internal strife due to the arrival of Larry Brown, but he did not expect it to happen so quickly. The opening game of the new season was not even finished, and the internal strife was already out.

"Hey, Sean, come here."

Kongbu waved to Marion and called him to his side.

Marion didn't hesitate at all. Even though he knew that Larry Brown had a bad relationship with Kongbu, he immediately walked towards Kongbu.

As the former FMVP in his rookie season, Marion is extremely grateful to Combu. He was willing to join the Knicks because of the good relationship between Dazhi and Combu.

It is no exaggeration to say that Combs is now telling Marion that he is ready to trade him to the Nets. Marion can force James Dolan to trade him tonight.

"Sean, what happened in your locker room? Where's the big guy?"

Kong Bu asked with a frown.

Marion sighed and replied, "Oh, don't mention it."

"In the locker room, Da Zhi had a fight with Larry Brown, and then Larry Brown gave Da Zhi a DNP. To be honest, when I heard the DNP from Larry Brown, I felt like I was in a dream, as if I was back in college. .”

"Are you kidding? This is the NBA. I have never heard of a coach who would DNP his team leader."

Kongbu was also dumbfounded. He didn't expect that Larry Brown would dare to be so bold. Even Da Zhi would dare to suspend him from the team.

"That's right, does he have the guts?"

"That's right, otherwise why didn't Da Zhi come and play the second half? Boss, the Knicks are completely screwed. It seems I have to consider when to transfer."

"Based on what I know about Da Zhi, it's impossible for him to play any more games for the Knicks."

"God, I feel like that FMVP is a curse on me. I may never be able to take care of it again in the future."

Marion said with a nagging sigh.

Kongbu deeply agrees with what Marion said. He knows that Zhi may really never play any more games for the Knicks.

Among the players who work hard in the NBA, Da Zhi should be regarded as the one who is least likely to be trifled with.

Daba has a fierce face, but he is actually not as cruel as Dazhi. Now Larry Brown is simply slapping Dazhi in the face. Can Dazhi let him go?

Not only will he not let Larry Brown go, Da Zhi will definitely take this opportunity to leave the Knicks directly. After all, he does not want to stay in New York in the first place.

Kongbu sighed, this matter is a bit troublesome. If Dazhi is traded, the only teams that have the strength to win Dazhi may be the Bobcats or Philadelphia, because these two teams have relatively strong financial foundations. .

No matter which team Da Zhi joins, it will create great resistance for the Nets to win the championship this year.

For a moment, Kongbu glared at Larry Brown again. This guy was a bad guy. He had just returned to the league and he had caused so much trouble for him.

……

At the beginning of the second half of the game, Da Zhi was not there, and the Knicks did not have a decent point guard. Their offense had no rhythm at all.

Howard was greeted by Garnett and Adelaide, and he began to suffer terribly.

Old Cat Mobley has some dribbling ability, but his passing ability is almost zero. In fact, even if he has a passing ability of [-] attributes, if he plays a pseudo-point guard, his worth will definitely be lower than what it is now. Much higher.

It's a pity that he just doesn't have any passing ability at all, so he can be regarded as a strange flower.

After the game ended, the Nets beat the New York Knicks by exactly 107 points with a score of 87:[-] at home.

Nets fans are of course happy. Last season, they would never have dreamed that their home team could beat the Knicks by [-] points.

"Kombu!"

"Kombu!"

"Kombu!"

The crowd chanted Kongbu's name again.

Kongbu had no intention of enjoying the cheers now. He was worried about where Dazhi was going.

……

At the post-game press conference, a reporter asked Larry Brown why Da Zhi did not play in the second half and whether he suffered an injury.

Larry Brown may have calmed down during halftime and realized how stupid it was to DNP Da Zhi when he was so angry. When asked by reporters, he did not dare to say DNP and only said that Da Zhi was unwell.

The reporters didn't think much about it. After all, most people didn't dare to think that a star of Da Zhi's level would be suspended by his coach after playing half of a game.

When Larry Brown returned to the locker room, he was thinking about whether he should talk to Dazhi, subdue him in public, let Dazhi have face, and then pretend that the incident had not happened.

He thought very well, but unfortunately he looked around and couldn't find Dazhi.

Dazhi left New Jersey directly and took a taxi back to New York, which was not far away anyway.

After arriving in New York, he turned off his cell phone and no one could contact him.

In this way, Da Zhi was missing for a week and missed the Knicks' next three games.

The entire Knicks are in chaos. If Dazhi is injured and misses for a week, it's better to say that Dazhi is missing now. The Knicks and the outside world don't know how to explain Dazhi's absence.

Just when James Dolan was so anxious that he was about to call the police, Dazhi appeared and held a press conference at the New York Hilton Hotel.

Reporters in New York also recently heard the news about Dazhi's disappearance. After learning that Dazhi held a press conference, they all rushed over. The fool also knew that this press conference would definitely contain big news.

"Dazhi, where have you been this week? Why didn't you show up on the field?"

The reporter asked directly without waiting for Dazhi to speak.

"I was banned from the team, so naturally I can't appear on the field." Da Zhi said with a wry smile.

The reporters in the audience laughed, thinking that Da Zhi was joking.

"This joke is not funny at all, Dazhi, you didn't really get married secretly like the rumors, and then went on your honeymoon this week, right?" The reporters burst into laughter.

Dazhi was dumbfounded, is there still such a rumor?Fortunately, he came out early, otherwise it would have been rumored that he secretly gave birth to a child.

"No, guys, I'm not kidding, I'm actually suspended from the team."

"If you don't believe me, you can ask my teammate Sean. Of course, it's better to ask our head coach Larry Brown, because he was the one who suspended me from the team."

Seeing that Da Zhi was not joking at all, the reporters were all stunned.

It's actually true?Will a star of Dazhi's level be banned from the team?
It's hard to say whether Da Zhi is the best star in the history of the Knicks. After all, he has never led the Knicks to win a championship.

If Da Zhi can lead the Knicks to even one championship, then he will be the undisputed No. 1 player in team history, surpassing Ewing.But even if he is not No. 1 in team history, Da Zhi is still among the top five players in team history.

Such a player was actually suspended from the team?This is as outrageous as Jordan being suspended from the team when he was with the Bulls.

Reporters wondered what heinous crime Dazhi had committed, and whether he had dug up James Dolan's ancestral grave. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain how such an outrageous thing could have happened.

"Dazhi, although this news sounds unbelievable, your tone seems to be true."

"Can you tell us the reason why you were suspended from the team?"

The reporters asked more questions.

Da Zhi even smiled bitterly, "The reason for the suspension? I think it may be that Larry Brown thinks that I am a cancerous ball player who only consumes the ball and makes no contribution to the team."

Reporters' eyes are about to pop out. Are you kidding me? A fourth-position player who averages 7 assists per game is called a ball-dominant player? !Things are getting more and more ridiculous.

"God, is today April Fool's Day? Why does every news sound so ridiculous?"

"Is Larry Brown crazy? Why is he becoming more and more abnormal?"

"What kind of wrong medicine did he take to target Dazhi? Doesn't he know who the Knicks rely on to be where they are today?"

"Is it possible that Dazhi and Kongbu have such a good relationship? Larry Brown took the opportunity to suppress and retaliate?"

Reporters started talking one after another, speculating about what happened within the Knicks.

"You don't have to guess, because it doesn't make any sense."

"I consider myself to have contributed to the Knicks. I dedicated my best youth to this team. I played for eight years and took the Knicks to the Eastern Conference Finals for most seasons."

"It's a pity that we ran into Kongbu, who won nine consecutive championships, and couldn't go further. This is very regrettable."

"The Knicks' suspension against me has not ended yet. Since the Knicks don't need me, I might as well leave and save Mr. Dolan some money."

"Here I am officially requesting a trade. Maybe I should go to a team that won't suspend me arbitrarily."

Dazhi's tone was very relaxed, and the New York reporters in the audience were filled with excitement.

They have watched Dazhi play for so many years and know what Dazhi means to the Knicks. Now as soon as Dazhi said this, reporters knew very well that the Knicks were finished.

Even though Da Zhi never led the Knicks to win the championship, New York fans are still very grateful to Da Zhi, because the Knicks were able to compete with Combs' team to the end in many seasons.

In the nine years since Kongbu won nine consecutive championships, the outside world has evaluated the runner-up in the Eastern Conference playoffs as being even more valuable than the runner-up in the Finals.

Knicks fans are extremely satisfied with such a record. At least the Knicks have always been one of the top players in the Eastern Conference.

If you fail to win the championship, what can you do?Didn’t other teams fail to win the championship?It can only be said that he was unlucky and met the era that belonged to Kong Bu.

Without Koumbu, Knicks fans are convinced that the Knicks would have built a dynasty long ago.

Reporters have no time to ask more questions now. They just want to go back and tell all Knicks fans the news.

That night, the news that Da Zhi was suspended from the team and then applied for a trade spread throughout New York City.

Larry Brown was dumbfounded. He never expected that Da Zhi would make such a move.

I did impose a team ban on Da Zhi, but he did not say the time limit at the time. Who would have thought that Da Zhi would be so ruthless and shut down his phone directly. How could he talk to him about the team ban when he could not be contacted, so the theory Speaking of which, Da Zhi is still suspended from the team.

James Dolan was even more dumbfounded. He never dreamed that he would be applying for a trade for the team leader he had played for eight years after just one week into the new season.

That night, Dolan wanted to contact Dazhi, have a good chat with him, and ask him to give up his idea, but he couldn't get in touch with Dazhi.

Early the next morning, Dazhi's agent stormed into Dolan's office aggressively.

At this time, Dolan's office building was surrounded by protesting Knicks fans. They could not accept the Knicks' treatment of Da Zhi in any way.

"It was all a misunderstanding and Larry Brown was in a daze and made that stupid decision."

Dolan hated Larry Brown with a passion.

"Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, Da Zhi has made up his mind to leave the Knicks."

"The transaction must be done, and it must be a team designated by Dazhi. This is a notification, not an application."

Dazhi's agent is Xia Song, who is known as the best basketball agent in China. He has enough confidence to challenge Dolan.

Dolan is so angry that he must trade?Does it still have to be a designated team?

"We can't trade Da Zhi. Everyone knows this. He is our most valuable asset to the Knicks."

Xia Song shook his head and smiled: "Of course it's okay not to trade, but I need to remind you that Dazhi is a contract year this year, and he also has the right to veto the transaction."

"If you don't trade, then you will get nothing if Da Zhi leaves the Knicks as a free agent at the end of this season."

"You want to send Da Zhi to a team he doesn't want to go to? That's impossible. Da Zhi has the right to veto the transaction."

"You are a shrewd businessman, you must know what to do."

Xia Song was so imposing that those who didn't know thought he was the boss with a net worth of billions of dollars.

Dolan was going crazy. He didn't expect the situation to be so bad that Da Zhi was going to break up.

"Man, I know Da Zhi must be angry right now."

"In order to extinguish his anger, I decided to fire Larry Brown immediately. Will this allow Big Zhi to continue to stay in our Knicks?"

"For so many years, we have always done what we asked of Dazhi. There is really no need to part ways because of a stupid misunderstanding."

Seeing that Dolan had given in, Xia Song shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "There is no way. If you know Dazhi, you should know how difficult his temper is. It is impossible to change the things he decides."

"I advise you to contact more teams and exchange as many chips as possible. This is the only thing you can do."

After Xia Song left, Dolan was so angry that he was shaking all over and called his secretary to the office.

"Get out of here Larry Brown!"

"Get out of here right now! Get out of here as far as you want!"

The secretary spoke in a low voice: "Boss, we signed a four-year contract with him."

"It doesn't matter how many years his contract is, even if it's a 100-year contract, let him go!"

"He won't pay a penny in salary, so he can sue wherever he wants!"

"No, I will also sue him, which has caused huge losses to our Knicks!"

Dolan was completely pissed off. He originally hired Larry Brown just to disgust Kong Bu, but now he's disgusted himself.
