Chapter 169 Against the Jazz(1/2)
In fact, it's not just the Knicks. The news about Kongbu is out of date. Many teams in the league have already set their sights on Yao Ming.
In the past two years, Menglong has not inspected the performance of rookies at all because of Kong Bu. There are scouts in the team, but they are all working as salt fish at the moment, reporting to Kong Bu every ten days and a half.
Kongbu didn’t even bother to read the rookie report.
Because there is really no need to watch. How can I not know which rookies can be selected?
Magic City has now become a gathering place for scouts from various teams. At least there must be at least 30 NBA scouts gathered in Magic City. Yao Ming's games are not missing, but he has contributed a lot of tickets to the Sharks.
money.
The average of nearly 50, 30, 7 blocks per game is too shocking. Even if the CBA is not a high-level player and the data is not valuable, such a data is still too scary and is enough to prove Yao Ming's terrifying dominance.
The most important thing is that Yao Ming also performed well in the Asian Championships before, and scouts had already noticed him at that time.
Kongbu suddenly understood. No wonder the records of many teams this year were disastrous. He used to think that these teams were too weak, but now he thinks about it, it seems that they are deliberately messing up?
For example, Green Kai, they have only won 4 games so far this season.
In fact, judging from their strength, it is not so miserable at all. After all, there are Snow and Fat Tou Tuo in the lineup, and the strength of the role players is not bad either.
Even if they can't make the playoffs, they still have to be in the ninth or tenth level in the Eastern Conference.
But now they sit firmly at the bottom of the Eastern Conference. Kongbu doesn't believe it at all if they didn't mess up intentionally.
Speaking of which, Green Kai has a tradition of playing poorly. They have too many honors in history, and fans are very tolerant of their home team. Therefore, even if they play badly, fans can still come in and watch the game, and it will not affect their season income.
.
In addition to Green Kai, the eagles in the east are also suspicious.
Although Steve Smith left the team, he signed first and then traded, which also brought a lot of things to the Hawks. In addition, they still have Uncle Mu guarding the penalty area, so their record cannot be too bad no matter how you think about it.
As a result, they have only won 6 games and are firmly in second place in the Eastern Conference.
Kongbu couldn't laugh or cry, these two teams were simply crazy.
Greencap general manager Pitino is taking a gamble. He is betting that Yao Ming will participate in next year's draft and that they can get the No. 1 pick.
Once Yao Ming can be taken down, Pitino feels that Greencap will be able to turn around immediately.
And if the bet is not right, he actually has nothing to lose, because he also feels that he will be fired in two seasons at most.
Eagles general manager Wilkens is also betting, but he is not worried about being fired. The Eagles have already been branded too much by him. If he fires him, the fans will be the first to refuse.
The reason why he made the bet was because he wanted to capture Yao Ming and achieve success in one step.
At that time, Uncle Mu can be replaced by a top-notch outside line, and then paired with Yao Ming, the foundation of a super powerful team will appear.
The Warriors, Clippers and Grizzlies in the Western Conference are rotten teams. Kongbu is not sure whether they are rotten, because even if they are not rotten, their record will not be much better.
Combs felt like Pitino and Wilkens were crazy.
If you are not living in this era, you will have no idea how much these old guys crave for a super center.
Even people like Big Z can get the maximum salary. One can imagine how attractive Yao Ming, who seems to be several levels better, is.
Maybe even more mouth-watering than Duncan before.
Duncan had solid basic skills in the early stages of his career, but he only had basic skills. His style of play had almost no skills at all, and he just used his body to fight hard.
But Yao Ming is different. He showed incredible shooting touch in the CBA. He can also do a small hook, his steps at the basket are quite good, his free throws are extremely accurate, and his rebounding and defensive abilities are definitely better than many active NBA players.
First line center.
You know, he is just a 19-year-old kid!
If you think about it this way, it's not difficult to understand why so many scouts gathered in the Magic City.
"Brother Kong, do you think Dayao is suitable to participate in the draft next year?" Da Zhi asked curiously.
"Did Yao ask you to ask?"
Kongbu laughed.
"I can't hide anything from Brother Kong. It was indeed Yao Rang who asked. He is too embarrassed to speak and has been waiting for your letter."
"It turns out you never gave me any accurate information."
"If you ask me, since I have done so well in the CBA, I might as well come to the NBA and try my luck. Even if I don't get off to a good start, at least I will have Brother Kong to protect me."
"The worst case scenario is that Brother Kong will trade him to your team."
Da Zhi was thinking about the long term.
His plan is quite good. Regardless of whether Yao Ming can play well in the NBA, it is not a bad thing.
If he can succeed, then there will be another super insider from China in the NBA. If not, Kong Bu can trade him to his team without spending too much money.
Kongbu shook his head, if only things were that simple.
The question now is not whether Yao Ming can play at all. With Yao Ming's current state, it is unreasonable and impossible that he can't play. No matter which team he goes to, no matter which coach he is under, even if it is someone like Larry Brown, Yao Ming
The data is absolutely impossible to be bad.
It’s hard to say whether he can hit double figures in rebounds, but his scoring average is definitely 20 points per game.
Moreover, Yao Ming averaged 20 points per game, and his true shooting percentage may be higher than that of O'Brien.
Many people see that O'Brien's shooting percentage is so exaggerated. His field goal percentage per game in many seasons has been close to 60%, so his true shooting percentage must be extremely high.
The best two seasons of Yao Ming's career were only 55%, and the rest were all in his early 50s.
O'Brien's true shooting percentage is much higher than Yao Ming's.
In fact, this is not the case. O'Brien's true shooting percentage is 58.6%, and Yao Ming's is 59.6%, which is a full percentage point lower.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The reason why this situation occurs is mainly due to the gap in free throws.
Yao Ming's free throw shooting, which is far ahead among centers, makes his offensive efficiency not inferior to that of a historical basket giant like O'Fat.
Now as long as Yao Ming enters the league, his statistics will definitely be the same. If it is a super weak team, it will not be surprising to Kong Bu that Yao Ming averaged 25 points per game in his rookie season.
Kongbu's plan is to find a way to get the No. 1 pick at some point and let Yao Ming sign up for the draft.
Because the lottery is held in May and the draft is in June, as long as Kongbu gets the No. 1 pick, Yao Ming has enough time to sign up for the draft.
The reason for so much trouble is that Kongbu wanted to coach Yao Ming and finally traveled through time to become an NBA coach. If he hadn't even coached Yao Ming, wouldn't it mean that he had traveled through time in vain?
On the other hand, Kong Bu also doesn't trust other coaches to coach Yao Ming.
Not every coach can be as dedicated as Tang Shuai.
Especially the coaches of those weak teams. In order to improve their record and save their jobs, they made Yao Ming average 37, 8, or even 40 minutes per game in his rookie season. They can definitely do it.
Coaching is a very unstable profession. As long as the team's performance is not good, they may be fired immediately. The more inexperienced a coach is, the easier it is to be fired.
Compared with their own careers, these fringe coaches are likely to choose to sacrifice the health of their players.
If Yao Ming's rookie season is completely wasted, then Kongbu will really have no place to argue.
According to his plan, he has an attribute viewer that can check the player's health, which can ensure that Yao Ming avoids injuries to the greatest extent.
In addition, no one knows what kind of rewards Kongbu will receive in the next few years. He may be able to obtain props to improve the player's endurance.
So no matter what, Yao Ming must play under his own hands.
"Let's wait and see after this season."
"He is still so young, there is no need to be too anxious."
Kongbu's words were like telling Da Zhi to tell Yao Ming not to be impatient about the draft.
"By the way, Brother Kong, you guys will be playing Jazz in a few days."
"We played the Jazz at home a few days ago, and that old guy Malone gave me a pair of shoes, saying they were a gift to apologize to me."
"Huh? You accept it?" Kong Bu's brows wrinkled.
"I have no choice but to accept it. Their head coach Sloan's attitude is very low, and I'm embarrassed to disgrace him." Da Zhi said with shame.
Kongbu sighed heavily, truly impressed by Dazhi's character.
If Ma Long really meant to apologize, he wouldn't have given him just a pair of shoes.
How much is a pair of shoes worth? The key is who gives shoes as a gift?
"Forget it, you don't have to worry about this. What he did last time was sitting on our dragon's head and shitting. I can't let him go."
"Also, send the pair of shoes back to him tomorrow. You have been lying in the ICU for so long, so I won't be able to get rid of you with just one pair of shoes."
Kongbu once heard a saying in his previous life: Don't forget the evil that others have done just because of a few good words from others.
These words are just right for Ma Long.
I just want to say a few soft words and give you a pair of shoes to wipe out all the bad things you have done. How can there be such a good thing in the world?
"Okay, then I will send it back tomorrow." Da Zhi nodded silently. He could clearly feel Kong Bu's disappointment in him.
…
The game between the Menglong and the Jazz was on January 2, 2000, which happened to be the Menglong's first game in the 21st century.
After the Christmas War, Combu led the generals back to Toronto.
