The team's rating was suddenly raised from A to S-, and Kongbu thinks it must be related to Xiao O's growth.

After three games, Xiao Ao has undergone qualitative changes.

Maybe the team's original rating was only one step away from S-level, but now this door has been kicked open by O'Neill.

Combs didn't have the time to study team ratings now, he began to worry about Tracy McGrady.

During the draft, Combs chose McGrady without hesitation. Apart from the fact that there was no other better candidate with this pick, Combs also had high hopes for McGrady.

The best swingman in NBA history must have a place for Tracy McGrady.

But now after getting Tracy McGrady, the situation has not developed in the direction Kongbu imagined.

What he was thinking about was that with the help of McGrady in the training field, he would rise to the top in one step and start the road to become a top scorer. Combus even thought that in the next battle against the Bulls, McGrady would stage a high-scoring battle with Jordan.

.

Now it seems that Kongbu was too optimistic.

With McGrady’s fighting spirit, why should he compete against the God of Basketball?

McGrady's fighting spirit has been criticized by many fans, who feel that he lacks the will to win.

Kongbu never thought so. Although his fighting spirit was not as high as that of people like Iverson or Kobe, it was not to the point of being criticized.

If he really had no fighting spirit at all, how could he have staged a 35-second, 13-minute Tracy McGrady moment?

The reason why he is said to have no fighting spirit is probably because of McGrady's strange appearance, his always drooped eyelids, and he looks like he has not woken up, so he was nicknamed "The Big Sleepy Man" by the fans.

Now that the system marked that Tracy McGrady's fighting spirit was only 53 points, Kongbu began to think about the reasons for this situation.

After a while, Kongbu was dumbfounded. Why did he have to take the blame for this matter?

Under normal circumstances, McGrady was a substitute in his rookie season with the Raptors, averaging about 18 minutes of playing time per game.

And the Raptors are famous for being weak, and being a substitute for a weak team is not a glamorous thing anyway.

So at that time, McGrady was full of fighting spirit and eager to prove himself and get a place on the team.

But now that Kong Bu has interfered with it, the situation is completely different.

First of all, the Raptors are a powerful team, with a current record of 5 wins and 2 losses, temporarily ranking second in the league, second only to the Bulls' 6 wins and 2 losses.

The team can win easily, and McGrady doesn't have any pressure to win at all.

Secondly, McGrady's status in the team is absolutely serious. He averages 37 minutes of playing time per game, ranking first in the team.

In terms of statistics, McGrady is currently averaging about 10 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists, 1.5 steals and 1 block per game. For a kid who has just turned 19, this data is already pretty good.

In terms of status within the team, even if Kongbu has not expressed it directly, a fool can tell that Kongbu views Tracy McGrady in a different light.

There is no situation in the locker room where old players bully newcomers. There is a home base and there is harmony in the locker room.

Everything seems to be that McGrady is living a very comfortable life now.

It is difficult for human beings to inspire fighting spirit within their own comfort zone.

Kongbu sighed secretly. It seemed that he had to give McGrady some trouble. If he continued like this, he was really afraid that McGrady would be ruined.

After leaving Portland, the Raptors flew to the bitter cold land of Minnesota.

This is the last game of the Raptors' road trip. After beating the Timberwolves, Combs will return to North Korea and play two more home games before facing the Bulls.

Old Thomas said before that if he loses too badly in this game, he will tell Kongbu to pack up and get out.

Now it seems that this bet is destined to be impossible to realize.

Even if Kongbu lost to the Bulls by 60 points, Thomas senior was not willing to let Kongbu go.

On the night against the Timberwolves, Combs made a surprising lineup arrangement.

He took down Tracy McGrady and put Snow, who had just been bought from the Trail Blazers, into the team's No. 1 position.

Since McGrady lost his fighting spirit because he was too comfortable, Kongbu simply created some sense of crisis for him.

With less than an hour left before the game, Kongbu sat on the sidelines and watched the players warm up.

Snow had just learned that he would meet tonight, and now he looked completely frightened. He was standing on the court at a loss, looking at Kongbu from time to time.

Kongbu waved to him and called him to him.

"What's the matter, man, don't you want to fight?"

Kongbu asked with a gentle smile.

Snow quickly waved his hand, "No, coach, the biggest dream for players like us is probably to play."

"But I'm afraid I'm not ready, I won't perform well tonight, and I'll embarrass you."

"After all, every player you traded has played incredible games."

Kong Bu became happy, what a warm man, he actually thought about himself so much.

Snow in English is SNOW, which means white snow. Even though Snow is as black as a moldy little potato, his heart is as white as snow and he is a rare good person.

"Worried about ruining my brand of identifying people?"

"Yes, I can clearly feel that my talent is far inferior to Tracy's."

"My performance on the court may not be better than Tracy's."

Snow lowered his head and whispered.

"Because of this, we should seize this opportunity."

"Do you understand the principle of what makes a perfect person? With more experience, sometimes you can make up for the gap in talent."

"It's like wiping your butt. I've been wiping it for almost thirty years and I've never seen it before, but I can get it right every time. Practice makes perfect."

After Kongbu finished speaking, he even laughed at himself.

Snow opened his mouth wide and looked at the young coach in front of him in disbelief. He wondered if he was hallucinating.

How did he say such a crude metaphor?

But it does seem to make sense!

Hearing what Kong Bu said, Snow felt a lot more at ease.

At this moment, he had a similar thought to Xiao Ao's before, that this deal might rewrite his life.

He could clearly feel the difference between Kombu and his former coach George Karl.

Old Karl kept shouting slogans every day, saying that everyone is an MVP, and that as long as he works hard, he is a good player, but he never gave Snow a chance.

Of course, this is no wonder Karl Lao, after all, the Sonics have Payton, the absolute core point guard, and McMillan, the pseudo-point guard.

McMillan is somewhat similar to Haslem's position in the Heat team in later generations, both are leaders in the locker room.

I have never changed teams in my entire career and have always played for my home team.

Even after retiring, McMillan stayed with the Sonics, serving as an assistant coach for two years and then directly being promoted to head coach.

With such a team status, how could Snow compete with others?

At eight o'clock in the evening, players from both sides had already started to take the field, and Combu specially observed McGrady.

McGrady on the bench looked very disappointed and a little panicked.

Maybe he still doesn't understand what happened and why his position was removed.

Kongbu was very satisfied, this was the effect he wanted.

He was even prepared that he would never give McGrady even a second of playing time tonight.
Chapter completed!
