Chapter 11 Becoming the protagonist’s bodyguard

The Grizzlies called a timeout and began to make substitutions.

It's a pity that their lineup is too shallow, and even substitutions cannot reverse the current situation.

Taking advantage of the timeout, Kongbu also made lineup adjustments.

He took down Tracy McGrady, who had never entered the state, and replaced him with Uncle Bao who was "waiting for food".

Bowen was so excited that he was shaking when he heard that Kongbu asked him to appear.

Although they are both undrafted, his situation is different from that of Big Ben.

Ben at least still has some playing time with the Wizards, but Bowen is completely out of character.

"Coach, thank you for letting me play. Don't worry, I will never let you down!"

Bowen clenched his fists and shouted at Kongbu with his face flushed.

Kongbu smiled and waved his hands, "Calm down, man."

"You are our core rotation player and our perimeter defense. If you are not allowed to play, who will be allowed to play?"

These words directly touched Uncle Bao's heart, and he wished he could shed his blood for Kongbu right now.

It has to be said that Kongbu's chicken soup coaching style is very suitable for the current Raptors.

There are too many newcomers and marginal players in the team. With the support of the training field, they have already gained strength, but they still lack self-confidence.

Players without confidence on the court, even if they have 100% strength, can only score 60% at best.

Counting down the top stars, Jordan, Kobe, James, Iverson and others, they are all extremely confident.

Now under Kong Bu's daily verbal attack of "You are the best, you are the best", the Raptors generals are becoming more and more confident.

In addition to Bowen, the original Raptors center Puopye Jones was replaced.

Jones' strength is not bad. In the past two years, he was a top-notch insider who averaged a double-double per game. He is quite qualified to be used as a rotation player.

After the timeout ends, the game continues.

The next situation on the field left Kongbu amazed.

The Grizzlies began to let Raheem have more possessions of the ball, and with Ben Ben off the bench, the rebounding gap between the two sides was no longer that big, and the Grizzlies had found their own offensive and defensive rhythm.

But Wu Sheng Jackson used offensive firepower to suppress the Grizzlies' counterattack.

After the first quarter, the Raptors led by 12 points with a score of 32:20.

Among them, Wu Sheng scored 22 points alone, which was even higher than the entire Grizzlies team.

Originally, Kongbu didn't have much expectations for Wu Sheng, and regarded him more as a bodyguard.

When encountering special circumstances on the court, Wusheng can protect Tracy McGrady immediately.

As a result, the protected Tracy McGrady got a bit of a slap in the face in his debut, but the bodyguard became the protagonist on the field.

If we continue playing at this pace, Wu Sheng will easily score forty points tonight.

He will likely go down as the most successful rookie player in the entire NBA history.

"Stephen, you are worth a hundred times in one game!"

"A treat, you must treat me tonight."

"If you are lucky, you will definitely have a chance to break Chamberlain's 43-point debut record tonight!"

All the generals expressed their joy towards the Martial Saint.

Wu Sheng couldn't hide the smile on his face. Even if he was just a new player, he knew exactly what this debut meant.

The 100-fold increase in his value is a bit exaggerated. His annual salary is the standard second-round draft pick of US$240,000. If it is 100-fold, it would be 24 million.

Today, there are only nine people in the league with an annual salary of over 10 million, and each one is a dominant figure guarding one side.

There are only two people with annual salaries exceeding 20 million, one is Jordan with 30 million, and the other is Gorilla Ewing with 20.5 million.

Obviously it is impossible for Wu Sheng to reach this kind of salary level.

However, even if a hundred times is an exaggeration, ten times or twenty times is definitely not a problem at all.

"Coach, thank you. If I really sign a big contract in the future, I will definitely give you a super car."

"I'm lucky, you are the best coach!"

Wu Sheng looked at Kong Bu gratefully and said sincerely.

These words immediately aroused the resonance of many people. In addition to Wu Sheng tonight, Ben and Uncle Bao, two former undrafted players, also performed extremely well.

In eight minutes of the first quarter, Ben scored 8 rebounds and 2 blocks, including 4 offensive rebounds, which is priceless.

Even though he didn't score a point, Ben's performance on the defensive end and rebounding end was extremely amazing.

Uncle Bao played four minutes on the court and barely participated in the offensive end. He just took a chance and shot a three-pointer, and he made it.

The performance on the defensive end made Kongbu a little unbelievable.

In my impression, Uncle Bao was extremely dirty in defense, almost recruiting useless people.

But in the four minutes of defense just now, Uncle Bao defended very cleanly.

Kong Bu thought about it carefully and found that this could only be explained by the fact that when oranges grow in Huainan, they become oranges, and when oranges grow in northern Huaibei, they become oranges.

For a pure-bred role player like Bowen, whether his playing style is dirty or not is actually dictated by the coach in many cases.

The coach asked him to play cleanly, how dare these role players disobey the coach.

Before Bowen joined the Spurs, he was already a member of the league's best defensive second team. Even without dirty tricks, his defensive strength should not be underestimated.

Both Daben and Bowen knew very well that Kongbu had the kindness to reinvent themselves, so they agreed with Wu Sheng's words.

"No, I'm definitely not the best coach."

"But you are definitely the best players, and each of you will become the mainstay of this league."

"Don't be proud if you perform well tonight, and don't be discouraged if you perform poorly."

"Continue to suppress them and destroy them on the court. After a big victory, I'll treat you."

Kongbu continued to pour chicken soup, which made the morale of the Raptors generals even higher.

After the inter-quarter break, both teams returned to the court, and the Raptors continued their lineup from the first quarter.

Big Ben's suppression under the basket on the court is extremely obvious, and his effect is definitely no less than that of Wu Sheng Jackson, who is full of firepower.

By the time the first three quarters were over, the Raptors already led the Grizzlies by a terrifying 34 points with a score of 91:57.

Such a point difference, let alone the Raptors, who were also weak last season, is not so easy to beat even if the Bulls play against the Grizzlies.

The main reason why this kind of defeat situation occurred was because of Wu Sheng's terrifying performance tonight.

After playing for 32 minutes in the third quarter, he already scored 41 points by himself, only two points short of Chamberlain's debut scoring record.

Old Thomas was dumbfounded as he watched from the sidelines. Are you sure this wolf-like team on the court is the Raptors?

Are you sure the guy who scored 40 points in three quarters is a second-round pick?

Are you sure that the short guy who scored 22 rebounds in three quarters is an undrafted player?

He even thought about searching through the summer league rosters of each team and maybe he could find a few such treasure players.

With Thomas Sr. in shock, the fourth quarter began.

The Grizzlies generals were scolded by Brian Hill off the court just now. They were so angry that they made a lot more body movements after coming on the court.

Especially big country bumpkin Levi's.

Old Thorpe is an All-Star veteran after all, but Hill still has to save some face for him.
