NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Chapter 71 Get ready to shine

"Mr. Bass, let's talk about my transfer after I win the championship this season."

Combe smiled and declined the old Bass. He had countless reasons for refusing to join the Hornets.

Offending Cowens was secondary. The main reason was that Kongbu didn't want to work for scum, and he couldn't rub the sand in his eyes.

You said that after you became strong, you gave someone two hundred dollars. The key point is that he is still a married woman. Is this something that people can do?

Combe's refusal made old Bus's heart flutter immediately.

He has been in the NBA for 30 years. Which fledgling head coach dares to say that he can win the championship in the "rookie" season?
Kongbu dare!
Has the ability to bring the Raptors back to life, has the means to compete with Larry Brown and Pat Riley, and has the vigorous ambition to win the championship.

Bath Sr. felt like he was witnessing the rise of one of the greatest coaches in history.

He was even willing to be young and frivolous again for Combe. As long as Combe dared to nod at the moment, he dared to call Cowens immediately and tell him that he could hand over the Hornets coach directly in Toronto.

Unfortunately, Combe rejected him.

That night, the Raptors played against the Hornets at home.

It may be because Thorpe has just arrived and Divac did not have a good chemical reaction. The two cooperated poorly tonight and made many turnovers at the basket.

Little Mason didn't play away games with the team at all, probably because he was on the injured list.

In the end, the Raptors defeated the Hornets and won the No. 20 win this season.

After the post-match press conference in the evening, just as Comb returned to his residence, Stern called immediately.

Da Zhi signed a contract with the Raptors two days ago. Under normal circumstances, he should play tonight.

Stern was full of anticipation, waiting left and right, but he didn't wait to see Da Zhi's shadow.

He secretly rejoiced that he didn't tell the leader of Tianchao's Y TV that Da Zhi would be playing tonight, otherwise the consequences of releasing other people's pigeons like this would be unimaginable.

Thanks to his unremitting efforts, before 94, the NBA sent highlight videotapes to the past, and Y TV played an hour of game highlights. In the past two years, they have also started to broadcast games, but they are all finals and some very high-profile games. playoffs.

If Big Zhi can play, I dare not say anything else, at least the Raptors' regular season will definitely be broadcast.

It is the first to broadcast the regular season, so are the good days still far away?
"Kong, what happened? Why didn't I see Wang Zhizhi in the game?"

Stern's tone was very dissatisfied.

"People have come all the way from thousands of miles, and they have to rest for two days."

"In addition, I haven't found a good place to live yet, and I haven't bought some daily necessities yet."

"Da Zhi hasn't got his payday yet, he has no money in hand."

Kong Bu helped Dazhi complain.

"Huh? How much can this cost? As a compatriot, why don't you just borrow some?"

If it were any other player, Stern would take care of him to death, even if the player went to live in the bridge hole, he would not bother to care.

After all, Dazhi is different. He carries Stern's ambition in him.

"I don't have any money either!"

"I am the most loyal person. I borrowed a lot of money to go out. Now I have no money in my hand."

"By the way, the money Jeff Van Gundy owes me has never been repaid. If I repay it, I can immediately solve Da Zhi's life problems."

"And then he'll play the next game, and I'm sure he'll have a perfect debut stat."

Stern almost vomited blood. When they met last time, Combe mentioned the money.

At that time, he asked Xiao Hua to ask Van Gundy Jr., and he was surprised when he knew the reason.

Kumbu's flamboyant Chelsea pair had a few jewels removed by Van Gundy Jr., but they didn't know whether the jewels were real or fake, maybe they were colored glass balls.

As a result, Kong Bu asked for [-] U.S. dollars to open his mouth, which was obviously a scam.

Stern didn't take it seriously, and let Xiao Hua deal with it coldly, but Kumbu was still thinking about it.

Of course, Kong Bu had to think about it. The [-] US dollars can buy a house in Shanghai, so why not.

"Are you sure you can appear in the next game? And you can perform perfectly?"

Stern didn't bother to care about whether Kong Bu was blackmailing or not. He only cared about Da Zhi's affairs now.

If he can get a guarantee from Kumbu, he will be able to bravely speak to China and broadcast the next Raptors game.

When Chinese fans see Big Zhi killing all directions on the court, the number of NBA fans will not increase by several million?
The more Stern thought about it, the more excited he became. Now he only needs one promise from Comb.

"Of course, I'll take care of things, don't worry."

"At least 20+10+5 data, our next game will be the Nuggets."

Both Kong Bu and Stern could only smile knowingly.

Stern breathed a sigh of relief. He finally understood that two days off and lack of money were all excuses. Kumbu was just waiting for Da Zhi to make his debut in the Nuggets game.

"Yes, the arrangement is very good, then I can rest assured."

"Jeff's money, I will let him transfer it to you by noon tomorrow."

"I'm waiting for your good news. I'll arrange a live broadcast of this game now."

Just as Stern hung up the phone, Thomas Sr. called again, also asking why Combe didn't let Big Zhi play.

Since the rise of the team led by Kumbu, the old Thomas has completely become a hand-off shopkeeper, and he does not mix the team's lineup at all.

Combe dismissed him casually.

At ten o'clock in the morning of the next day, Kong Bu received a call from a stranger. After connecting, he only said two words on the other end of the phone.

"Bank Account!"

Kongbu Meizhi told the other party his account number, and then the other party hung up the phone with a bang.

Another house in Shanghai has been acquired.

Time flew by, and two nights later, Da Zhi finally ushered in his debut.

"Dear viewers, welcome to this NBA game between the Toronto Raptors and the Denver Nuggets."

"I'm the host Su Qun, and the person sitting next to me is Director Xu Jicheng."

"We have received news from the front that Big Zhi will be on the stage tonight, and he will be the starter."

"Director Xu, talk about your views on the two teams, and what kind of performance Da Zhi will have in his first show."

Su Qun and Xu Jicheng are the first basketball commentators of Y TV, and they are currently basketball consultants of the TV station.

"The strengths of the two teams are not at the same level. The Nuggets are currently ranked last in the league, and the Raptors are seen as a team that may overthrow the Bulls dynasty."

"Last season, the two teams were rivals. With the joining of Combe, the Raptors are no longer what they used to be."

"Many of our domestic friends may not know the coach Kumbu."

"He is only 29 years old, and his ability has been recognized and praised by the entire league. This year's NBA head coach of the year is already in his pocket."

"Many people describe him as the most discerning coach in the history of the NBA. The Raptors' current lineup is almost created by him."

"Leading the team is full of passion and full of personality charm. We are also honored to see our domestic coaches shine on the NBA stage."

Xu Jicheng didn't know where he got the news, and he boasted Kong Bu like a god.

If Kumbu knew that the people of his country praised him so much, he would be ashamed. There is recognition and praise, but there are more slander and insults.

"As for Da Zhi, I think his performance tonight is definitely not bad."

"Aside from other things, NBA executives are not fools. They can give Da Zhi 1300 million US dollars a year, which is enough to prove Da Zhi's strength."

Xu Jicheng still thinks the NBA is too good, there are no fools?Fools are simply a handful.

At least in Combe's mind, Old Thomas was just a not-so-intelligent sub.

The viewers who watched the live broadcast were stunned by the annual salary of 1300 million US dollars. The annual salary of most people is less than [-] Tianchao coins. How can Da Zhi earn [-] million a year? !
The newcomer Dazhi can earn [-] million in blood, so Kong Bu, whom Xu Jicheng called the best coach just now, can't have an annual salary of [-] billion?

In the eyes of the people, Kung Bu, the local rich man, is standing on the sidelines and assigning tasks to the generals.

"Our starting lineup tonight is Big Ben, Big Zhi, Stephen, Tracy and Snow."

"I believe you all know what the first show means to a rookie."

"Tonight is Big Zhi's debut, Ben, please help him."

"If the debut is successful, I will ask Da Zhi to buy a Rolex for each of you."

Big Ben grinned, "It's on me. I can't guarantee other opponents. Tonight will be fine."

"Man, are you ready to shine in the audience?"

Da Zhi couldn't understand what Da Ben was saying at all, seeing Kong Bu's smile, he also laughed.

Kumbu felt extremely at ease. With a selfless big brother like Da Ben in the team, he could save a lot of trouble in many cases.
