With the addition of O'Brien, the Raptors' current lineup is getting closer and closer to the complete team that Kongbu envisions.

The current Raptors team ratings have also undergone some subtle changes.

"Toronto Raptors: Current team overall rating is A."

"The offensive rating is A, the defensive rating is S-, and the rebounding rating is A."

"Player potential rating S-."

It still hasn't reached the S-level team rating, maybe this is related to Xiaoao's current immediate combat ability.

There is definitely a reason for being hidden in the snow. Xiao Ao's current immediate combat ability is indeed not that strong.

But with the help of the training field, these are not problems.

As long as the potential talent is good enough, the combat power can be improved immediately.

Kongbu predicts that by the time O'Brien becomes a complete player, the Raptors' rating should be able to successfully reach S- level.

That is only one level behind the Chicago Bulls.

After acquiring Billups later, Kongbu is really confident that he can defeat the Bulls and win this year's championship.

The regular season schedule continues, and the Raptors' next two games will still be at home.

Against the Milwaukee Bucks and Cleveland Cavaliers respectively.

The Raptors had a record of one win and one loss, losing to the stronger Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference and winning against the slutty Bucks.

It is worth mentioning that Xiao Ao did not appear in these two games.

Kongbu wanted to let Xiao Ao train for a few days first. After six days of special training in the training field, Xiao Ao's progress was visible to the naked eye.

He is planning to let Ou make his Raptors debut in a better state to build his self-confidence.

It just so happens that the Raptors' next four consecutive away games will be against the Philadelphia 76ers in the first game, which is very suitable for Olivier Jr.

October 27, seven o'clock in the evening.

The Raptors' away game against the Philadelphia 76ers is about to begin.

A few years later, the 76ers were a powerhouse in the Eastern Conference and reached the Finals, but now they are just a weak team at the bottom of the Eastern Conference.

"Tracy, tonight you play the No. 1 position and will directly face Iverson."

"What you need to do is block his route to the basket. It's best to take one step to defend him. As for his shooting, just defend it as it happens."

"Can it be done?"

Kongbu began to assign tasks to the generals.

The simplest and easiest way to beat the 76ers is to suppress Iverson's offense. As long as Iverson can't create damage at the basket, the 76ers are basically doomed.

In the first two games, McGrady's performance still failed to satisfy Combu.

As the saying goes, you can move a dead tree back to life, so Kongbu decided to let Tracy McGrady play the No. 1 position to give it a try, which may have some unexpected effects.

The task assigned to Tracy McGrady, to put it bluntly, is to prevent breakthroughs but not shots.

Iverson's speed is too fast. If McGrady sticks to the defense, he will probably change his direction and pass him.

Now take one step to defend, Tracy McGrady has more time to react.

Iverson's lethality at the basket is extremely astonishing, and scoring is even secondary. The most terrifying thing is his ability to draw fouls.

Maybe after half a game, he could force the opponent's inside defense to commit four or five fouls.

Of course, this defensive method is not without its problems, that is, it will give Iverson a lot of shooting opportunities.

But Kongbu didn't care at all. Shooting was not Iverson's strong point.

The three-point ability is a bit eye-catching, especially this season, his shooting percentage cannot even reach 30%.

His mid-range shooting ability is not very strong, and his shooting percentage from close range and mid-range is less than 40%. It was not until his last two years with the 76ers that his mid-range shooting improved a bit.

If you look at it this way, Iverson and James were somewhat similar in the early stages of their careers. They both relied on breakthroughs to make a living.

It's just that one relies on speed and technology, and the other relies on strength.

"can do it!"

Maddie replied that the work assigned by Kongbu was not difficult in the first place.

"Stephen, Jamal, you two don't have much pressure on the defensive end tonight, but you must put enough pressure on the opponent on the offensive end."

Kongbu looked at Wu Sheng and Mashburn tonight again.

After Christie left, Mashburn finally gained a stable position.

"Don't worry, coach, I have a hunch that I might be able to score 40 points tonight."

Wu Sheng grinned.

Having been suspended for three games, he has been looking forward to tonight's game.

"Marcus, you go and compete with Coleman tonight."

"I think with your defensive strength, it will be difficult for Coleman to score double digits tonight."

Kongbu smiled at Canby.

The difficulty of saying these words was like taking a shower in the spring breeze, and he was so happy that his big teeth were bared.

Coleman is not a nobody. He was the No. 1 pick in the 1990 draft and was once the boss of the Nets. He easily averaged 20+10 points per game as a top insider.

Unfortunately, after joining the 76ers in 1995, his strength has declined a lot due to injuries and lack of self-discipline.

Although he can still put up 18 points and 10 rebounds, his offensive efficiency is a bit disastrous. He is a typical player who loses the game more quickly when he takes more shots.

"Ben, tonight you go to match up with their Ratliff, be careful, be sure to follow him closely and block his position."

"Don't give him a chance to steal a shot."

"Besides, I have another job to give you. Let's talk about it after the game starts."

Kongbu smiled mysteriously.

Ratliff is the center of the 76ers and can be regarded as another Camby. The styles of the two are really very similar.

The offensive ability is average, averaging 10 points and 8 points per game.

In terms of rebounding ability, neither of them is actually very strong, but Camby is one level better than Ratliff.

In terms of defense, neither of them is good at single defense. They are both shot-stealing and shot-blockers who are good at assist defense and supplementary defense.

In Ratliff's peak season, he even averaged 4.4 blocks per game.

Facing a player with this style, if you want to restrict him, it's actually not that difficult. Find a player with the strength to crush him and keep an eye on him, blocking his position, and suppressing his opportunity to steal blocks.

Daben is undoubtedly the best candidate.

That is to say, Camby is now a member of the Raptors. If he were an opponent, Kongbu would use similar methods to target him.

"Besides, I don't want to see any compromise in this game."

"I want a hearty victory."

"No, I want to see a brutal crushing. I want Larry Brown to think that we will have nightmares!"

Kongbu licked the corners of his mouth with a cruel smile on his face.

The generals were startled, why did they mention 76ers coach Larry Brown so well?

Is it possible that there is something going on between Kongbu and Larry Brown?

Thinking of this, the generals were suddenly filled with energy, and the time had come to repay Kong Bu.

Most of the Raptors players are extremely grateful to Kongbu. They have finally been looking forward to this opportunity to repay Kongbu, and of course they are not willing to miss it.

Especially Ben, the muscles in his arms began to bulge, and he was working hard, just waiting for the game to officially start.

Half an hour later, players from both sides began to enter the stadium.

As usual, the head coaches of both teams will come on stage to shake hands before the game.

Combs sat on the bench and had no intention of shaking hands with Larry Brown.

He felt sick to his stomach when he saw Larry Brown's old face.
Chapter completed!
