NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

In Charlotte, Kongbu led the Nets to arrive in Charlotte to start the next road trip.

The Bobcats are the defending champions and a dynasty team. Even if Jordan lets go of several very cost-effective young people, the strength of this Bobcats cannot be underestimated.

For the Bobcats, Kongbu is definitely not an outsider. All the players on the team, one by one, were trained by Kongbu.

Jordan specially hosted a banquet for Kongbu and the Nets generals on the night that Kongbu arrived in Charlotte.

Everyone was eating and drinking happily, except for two people, Rondo and Paul.

If there are really enemies in this world who are born to dislike each other, it must be Rondo and Paul.

The two people had never interacted before, so it couldn't be said that there was any enmity. However, after the two met, they all frowned, and they felt a sense of disgust towards each other for no reason.

Because there was a game the next day, everyone restrained themselves from drinking hard liquor and only drank some beer.

Even after just drinking a little beer, Rondo had more words in his mouth.

"Hey Adam, I almost had a quadruple-double last night, did you see that?"

"I feel like if there was a re-draft, I would at least be drafted at your position."

Rondo had known Adam Morrison before, and after drinking some horse urine, he got carried away.

Morrison looked embarrassed and didn't know how to answer Rondo.

He was the second pick, and judging from his performance so far, Rondo seems to be more qualified than him to be the second pick.

But if we really want to rearrange the draft, Rondo will definitely not be the second pick, because Ade and Roy performed slightly better than him.

"You? Even if you were re-drafted [-] times, you wouldn't be the second pick. You wouldn't even be a lottery pick."

"A guy who averages 36% shooting per game actually said that he can be ranked second. It's really funny."

Paul laughed loudly and said, not knowing whether he wanted to stand up for Adam Morrison or simply disliked Rondo and wanted to disgust him.

Rondo's expression changed, "Who are you? If you hadn't spoken, I wouldn't have even noticed you."

"Who am I? I am the defending champion point guard, new FMVP, rookie season All-Star, rookie season best team, defensive team, assists leader and steal leader."

"Who are you? Are you the guy who took 24 shots but failed to score in double figures?"

"You may not believe it. After we saw the news today, we thought it must be April Fool's Day. Who can believe that the NBA can achieve such a shooting percentage? This situation will not happen even in the Philippine League."

Paul doesn't have a very flamboyant personality, he is a wilt and bad guy, but when facing Rondo, he still became flamboyant.

He has only played one season now, and his achievements are unparalleled. In just one season, he has almost firmly established himself as the league's number one point guard.

Kidd has played for so many years and has never won a championship, let alone FMVP.

"It's true that I didn't score in double figures, but I did get double figures in steals. You've played for so long, have you ever had double figures in steals?"

"I remember I am the current assist leader and steal leader this season. You are a lucky guy. If I entered the league a year earlier, Kong would have chosen me instead of you, and all your honors would be mine."

"I'm the best point guard that Combs has ever coached, bar none."

Rondo usually walks closer to Garnett, and when he opens his mouth, he has a bit of Garnett's demeanor.

Kongbu was speechless. Under normal circumstances, Rondo and Paul were enemies. There was no way to resolve the hatred between the two for more than ten years.

Originally, Kongbu thought that under his influence, the two people would not have any friction. Who would have thought that they would quarrel when they first met.

Under normal circumstances, the conflict between these two people would be like a child without a mother, which is a long story.

They bickered, fought on the court, and blocked the door in the locker room after the game. Anyway, these two people have done everything they can do. There is no other pair of enemies in the NBA who are as comprehensive as these two.

The key is that the conflict between the two men lasted for more than ten years.

"Okay, shut up, everyone. We are here to eat, not to listen to your quarrels."

Kongbu glared at the two of them.

This glare directly made the two of them glare at each other. After the two looked at each other with hostility, they sat back in their seats.

"You guy, you really deserve to die!"

"Obviously we all have similar first-round picks, so why can you pick so many super players?"

"Look what I picked? Adam Morrison! There are three others. I don't even bother to remember their names."

"Kong, tell me the truth, how many more years can my Bobcat remain strong?"

Jordan didn't have a game, so he drank a lot. After the team broke up, he ran to Kongbu's hotel room and dragged Kongbu to complain.

Kongbu was very anxious. He had a game tomorrow and wanted to rest early.

"Michael, as long as you don't move those two Chriss, the Bobcats will always have good combat power."

"Especially Chris Paul, he is the best cornerstone of the team. It is hard to say whether he can win the championship, but his team will definitely enter the playoffs."

"As for Chris Bosh, this is also the last year of his contract. If you can renew it, just renew it. If you want to find a fourth position like Bosh in this league, it will be more difficult than reaching the sky."

Kongbu thought about sending Jordan away quickly and said sincerely.

Jordan pouted, "Is it harder than reaching the sky? How could you get Garnett and Aldridge so easily? These two must be no worse than Bosh, right?"

"Okay, I just drank too much and complained to you."

"Even though the Nets have won consecutive games since the start of the season, I don't think you can defeat our Bobcats."

"Tomorrow night's game, be prepared to lose."

……

The next evening, Jordan led the Nets into the court. The fans stood up and gave Kongbu the warmest applause.

Even if Kongbu leaves, Charlotte fans will never forget the overwhelming glory that Kongbu brought to their city.

Jordan became jealous again. Every time he came to watch a home game, no fans could give him any applause. They were really a bunch of heartless people.

Before the game even started, Kongbu noticed that Rondo and Paul on the opponent's bench were at war with each other. The two stared at each other with contempt and disdain in their eyes.

After a while, the referee blew the whistle to start the game, and the starting players from both sides began to take the field.

The Bobcats' starting lineup: center Hammer Gortat, power forward Bosh, small forward Hill, shooting guard Granger and point guard Paul.

The Nets' starting lineup: center Ade, power forward Garnett, small forward Artest, shooting guard Roy and point guard Rondo.

Except for Gortat, who is a bit inferior, the others are all serious All-Star players, and there are even seven or eight Hall of Fame players among them.

Even Kong Bu became interested in such a battle.Garnett has been complaining that playing against weak teams cannot arouse his fighting spirit. Tonight against the Bobcats, he seemed to have high fighting spirit and his face looked much rosier than usual.

As soon as they came on the court, Rondo and Paul hugged each other. Those who didn't know it thought the two young point guards cherished each other.

In fact, these two people were talking trash to each other, and they were talking fiercely, and their mouths were like machine guns.

When Kongbu saw these two people hugging each other, he knew that these two people must be up to no good, because under normal circumstances, these two people like to hug each other when they talk trash.

The referee's whistle sounded again, and the centers of both sides started jumping the ball before Rondo and Paul separated.

"Just wait, I will completely beat you tonight. You are not the number one point guard in the league, let alone the best point guard that Kong Bu has ever coached!"

Rondo finally sprayed.

"Kill me? Why? With your 24-for-3 hit rate?"

"After this game, you will know that I am the number one point guard and the best point guard that Kong Bu has ever coached."

Paul also sprayed back directly.

In the jump ball session, Adelaide won the jump and the Nets started to attack.

Rondo advanced after holding the ball. When he reached the frontcourt, Roy came over and made a pick-and-roll, but Rondo did not take a shot, but passed the ball to Ade.

Ade carried Gortat and hit the board with two points.

In the opening game of this season against the Knicks, Ade struggled to beat Howard, but it seemed very easy to beat other centers.

Gortat is a very good center, and he has also undergone special training in the training field of Kongbu. He has now entered his peak period, but his upper limit is there after all. He is not a top center. It is difficult for him to face off in a head-on confrontation. Defeat Ade.

"You didn't dare to take the shot at that moment just now? Your shot was like a joke."

Paul scoffed.

Rondo looked at Paul with disdain and said, "You are also a point guard. Don't you know that the point guard's first job is to connect the team's offense?"

"Your style of play consumes a lot of ball rights, why don't you play shooting guard?"

"Things without the soul of a point guard, bah!"

Paul was so stunned that he didn't know how to refute Rondo for a moment.

In fact, what Rondo said nicely, the soul of a point guard, was actually the psychological shadow he cast in the last game.

Tonight against Paul, he was afraid that he would have that embarrassing shooting percentage again and become Paul's laughing stock, so he simply tried not to take any shots as much as possible to maintain his own shooting percentage, so that he could fight back no matter what Paul said.

As for the organizational and defensive ends, Rondo does not think he will be worse than Paul. In this game, he will suppress Paul in all aspects.

In the Bobcats' offensive round, Paul advanced with the ball.

After arriving in the frontcourt, Paul showed his strong passing ability and accurately passed the ball to the Hammers in the gap.

Unfortunately, the Hammers failed to score a goal under Ade's defense, and the rebound was also grabbed by Ade.

"What a joke. As a point guard, you can't find the most suitable passing target!"

"Obviously Grant Hill had a chance just now!"

"Are you worthy of being the first point guard?"

Rondo seized the opportunity and mocked Paul severely.

Paul's face turned red with anger. How could he not have noticed that Hill had a chance just now, but who was Hill facing tonight? DPOY-level defender Artest!
If it had been Hill a few years ago, Paul might have been passed on.

However, now that Hill is no longer at his peak, it is difficult for him to score points under Artest's frontal defense.

In the first few games of this season, Paul and Gortat have developed a strong tacit understanding. With the support of Paul's passing, Gortat can even average 19 points and 10 rebounds per game, making him a top-notch center. Level.

Paul thought that he would continue to partner with Gortat tonight. After all, Gortat was facing the rookie insider Ade, and he expected to have an advantage.

It's a pity that he still underestimated Ade's strength, which was simply not something that Hammer Gortat could handle.

Paul can't reply to Rondo at all. You can't say that Hill is not strong enough to break through Artest's defense, right?

Rondo's voice was so loud that even Kongbu on the sidelines heard it.

Kongbu was speechless. There was probably no way to resolve the hatred between these enemies. Tonight, they would have a direct fight on the court, and Kongbu would not find it strange at all.

It was the Nets' offensive round again. This time Garnett reached out for the ball, and Rondo passed the ball directly.

Garnett looked excited. He loved playing against Bosh.

To say that the players Garnett hates to play against the most in this league, one is Duncan and the other is probably Nowitzki.

Duncan is a big human shield. Every time he plays against Duncan, he can tire Garnett to death.

And Nowitzki has been floating outside shooting. If Garnett defends, he will miss a lot of rebound data. Even if he wins, the data will not be very good.

When it comes to playing against Dazhi, Garnett can accept it, but he can't say he likes it.

Only against Bosh, Garnett likes it very much.

Bosh is a star, and his style is restrained by Garnett. Every time he plays Bosh, Garnett has an unparalleled sense of accomplishment.

Two years ago, Garnett led his team to play in the Finals against the Bobcats, and he had a huge advantage against Bosh. Unfortunately, the Bobcats had Olympus at his peak at the time, and the overall strength gap between the two sides was too big. Garnett missed the opportunity to win the championship. Chance.

Now, the difference in strength between the teams played by both sides is no longer that big. They are almost at the same level. Garnett is confident that he can lead the team to win by relying on his advantage against Bosh.

After receiving the pass from Rondo, Garnett made a big mid-range shot in front of Bosh, and scored two points!
"boom!"

Garnett hammered his chest and roared loudly.

Bosh looked helpless. After seeing Garnett catch the ball just now, he even knew that Garnett would definitely make a mid-range shot in front of him in the next step. Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do against Garnett.

After playing for less than 2 minutes, Bobcats coach Frank began to call a timeout.

After returning from the timeout, the lineup has not changed, but the style of play has changed.

Gortat did not continue to be stationed at the basket. He began to move up to the high post to help his teammates in pick-and-rolls.

With the help of Gortat's pick-and-roll, Paul got rid of Rondo and scored a goal.

Frank's use of strengths and weaknesses is very good, resolving the Bobcats' disadvantage at the fifth position and bringing out Gortat's role.

Kongbu didn't make any moves, but still watched the game on the court patiently. (End of chapter)
