Group A of the Olympic Games group stage finally ushered in the focus battle of this Olympic Games.

The Chinese Men’s Basketball Team faced off against the Dream Team.

This is not only a battle of focus in China, but also in the United States and even the world, because these two teams are regarded as the favorites to win this season.

The Chinese men's basketball team had an influence in the world basketball world before, but not much.

At least before Kongbu rose to prominence, and before Dazhi and Daba were promoted to the NBA, not many people paid attention to the Chinese men's basketball team.

But things are different now. The team is led by Kong Bu, the dynasty coach, and the team has Dazhi, the overlord of the NBA, and Daba, the core power forward of the dynasty.

In addition, there is Yao Ming, the new top pick, and the Arab League who shined in this Olympics.

This Chinese men's basketball team has become the focus of attention from all parties.

However, most people still think that the Dream Team is stronger. After all, the strength of the Chinese Men's Basketball Team lies in these four points. Compared with the overall lineup background, the difference between the Dream Team and the Dream Team is too great.

"Kong, why do you always scare me?"

After Tang Shuai saw Kong Bu, he said this out of nowhere.

Monk Kongbu Zhanger was confused and couldn't understand what Tang Shuai was talking about.

"Rudy, I remember Hakeem's contract only has one season left. What are you going to do when his contract ends?"

Kongbu asked curiously.

He had an infinite fondness for Tang Shuai, and they seemed to have a casual chat. If there was anything he could do to help Tang Shuai, Kong Bu wouldn't mind lending a hand.

"I don't know. I asked the boss what kind of contract he will give Hakeem after next season."

"In the end, he didn't say anything. Hakeem may want to play for a few more years, but unfortunately he is destined to be unable to get a decent contract with the Rockets."

"After he leaves the Rockets, the Rockets will have to rebuild." Tang Shuai lamented.

He has coached the Rockets for many years, and has experienced glory and troughs. Seeing that the Rockets he built is about to completely disintegrate, of course he feels very uncomfortable.

Kongbu nodded. The Rockets boss was indeed a stingy man. Even if he had a little bit of conscience, he would not let Da Meng go away.

Under normal circumstances, Dameng would leave the Rockets next season and sign a three-year, 17 million contract with the Menglong.

Is this contract expensive? In fact, it is not expensive at all. The average annual salary is five to six million. Not to mention that Da Meng still has some fighting power, but he has no fighting power at all. Considering that he has devoted seventeen years of his youth to the Rockets,

The Rockets should not deny Dameng this contract.

"By the way, has Charles contacted you recently?"

"Charles? Which Charles?" Combe asked in confusion.

"Of course Sir Charles, Barkley, he told me before that he didn't want to end his career like this."

"He also wants to fight for the championship one last time."

"But he doesn't want to go to Menglong, because after going to Menglong, he can't let Battelle serve as his substitute."

"So I recommend him to find you."

Tang Shuai said with a smile.

Kongbu was stunned, what is this? Barkley hasn't retired yet, and he still wants to win the championship.

Halfway through last season, Barkley suffered a serious injury and was immediately reimbursed for the season. This also led to the Rockets not making the playoffs at all.

Everyone thought he was going to retire, but he came back again.

Kongbu has been busy leading the team in games recently, and some unfamiliar numbers on his mobile phone have not been answered at all, and 80% of them were calls from Barkley.

Barkley was indeed strong enough in his prime, but now he is no longer what he used to be. Why would he sign him at such an old age?

"Rudy, you are really going to cause me problems." Kongbu said with a wry smile.

Tang Shuai waved his hand, "Actually, I have always felt that you are the most suitable coach for Charles."

"So without even thinking about it, I recommended the 76ers you coach to him this time."

"Oh? It's me? How do you say this?"

"Ahem, you both like to use violence to solve problems, and you both have the same vicious tongue to offend people. It would be a pity not to cooperate."

"And you 76ers really need Charles. The Lakers are about to sign Karl Malone. You should know that, right?"

Tang Shuai didn't say much, but the meaning of his words was clear enough.

If Ma Long hates Kong Bu, of course he hates it to the point of itch. Now that Kong Bu has left Menglong, he doesn't have any human shields like Daba and Daba at his disposal.

When the time comes for the game against the Lakers, if Malone elbows him, Kongbu really can't do anything to him.

Now that Barkley is here, it's not a bad thing. Since he plays for the 76ers and wants to win the championship, he can't just watch Malone do evil.

In addition, Barkley played for the Philadelphia 76ers for the first eight years of his career. It can be said that the 76ers are his home team. Bringing him back is a gimmick, which can at least attract more fans' attention.

Now as the team's general manager, Combu has to consider not only the record, but also the team's profits.

If you want to make a profit, of course the higher the attention, the better.

After Kongbu thought for a moment, he nodded and said, "Rudy, what you said makes sense."

"In that case, I have to thank you. You thought ahead than I did."

"I'll give Charles a call after tonight's game."

Tang Shuai waved his hand, "You're welcome, buddy, we have known each other for so many years, and I have to thank you for never being rude to me."

These words sounded like an old couple chatting. The old woman was grateful that the old man did not abuse her.

While the players from both sides were warming up, Kongbu sat on the sidelines and chatted with the players from time to time.

Combu is certainly no stranger to the players on the Dream Team, and Carter is his disciple.

As for young players like Ray Allen and Raheem, they have always had a good relationship with Koumbu.

The real relationship is not a good one, I'm afraid it's the Heat's internal and external partners, namely Mourning and Tim Hardaway.

Da Zhi was chatting on the court with his teammate Houston, who has the best shot in the field. Houston has a good personality and has always gotten along well with Da Zhi.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Boss, after the end of next season, do you think Mr. Glenn will renew my contract or Pierce's contract?"

Carter sat next to Kongbu and asked with a sad face.

Menglong can renew two maximum-paying contracts after next season, but the contracts of four of them are expiring. Daba will definitely occupy a spot. It has nothing to do with whether he is from China or not, mainly because he is an insider.

Next, only one of Pierce and Carter can renew their contract.

"Then I don't know. I can't talk about this kind of thing and affect Glenn's judgment." Kongbu was unwilling to get involved in Menglong's current affairs. He didn't want to embarrass Lun.

Although Kongbu left the Menglong, the Menglong team has been deeply imprinted by him. If he told the Menglong to renew Pierce or Carter, Shalun would have no choice but to do so and would not be able to follow suit.

Kongbu came in the opposite direction.

It is precisely because of this that Kongbu doesn't want to talk nonsense. After all, he is now the coach of the 76ers.

…

After a while, the game on the field officially started.

Tang Shuai looked a little anxious, pacing back and forth on the sidelines, probably worried about losing.

Tonight is just a group match, but even in the group match, you can still tell whether it is a mule or a horse. If the Dream Team loses to the Chinese team tonight and meets in the finals, the Chinese team will be mentally occupied.

Advantage, this is very detrimental to the dream team.

Before going on stage, Kong Bu did not forget to give the generals a dozen chicken blood.

"Dayao, you are facing Mourning tonight. Don't think too much. He is not as scary as you think."

"As long as you can show your normal strength, he is no match for you."

What Kongbu is most worried about is Yao Ming, which is actually the key to whether he can win the Dream Team.

As long as the inside can take advantage, everything will be fine.

Yao Ming nodded solemnly with a solemn expression. He also knew that he would face the strongest opponent in his life next.

Mourning's fame and status are not as good as O'Fa, but he is also well-known. He is the fifth center outside the four major centers, and even has the feat of defeating O'Paul to be selected for the first team. No one can underestimate such an opponent.

"Daba, you may have to face Garnett most of the time tonight. You have played against him many times and you know the characteristics of the other player."

"Anyway, just try to squeeze him out as far as possible from the basket."

"Dazhi, I won't tell you too much. You have a lot of experience and know what to do on the field."

"Lao Hu, try to use the pick-and-roll of Dazhi or Ah Lian on the court. Their tall pick-and-roll will definitely be a waste if not used properly."

Kongbu is not exaggerating. Why tall outside players are so troublesome? In addition to their mismatch advantages in shooting, their tall bodies are also miraculous in pick-and-roll situations.

Lao Hu is now enjoying the pick-and-roll of two big players, Da Zhi and Arab League. He may be the happiest outside shooter in history.

"Ah Lian, just rush to the basket tonight. If you can, take the shot. If you can't, just pass the ball to Yao or Daba."

"If they don't have space to catch the ball, then you have to give the ball to Da Zhi or Lao Hu on the outside."

"You are the backcourt engine of this team, a super big V8 engine."

Kongbu gave instructions to each of the five tiger generals of the Celestial Dynasty.
