Chapter 29 Coach, can I get me to start
The next evening, the Raptors' match against the Supersonics is about to begin.
Old Thomas nagged Conbu for a day yesterday, keeping talking about the loss of this deal, and Jones should have been able to get a better bargaining chip.
Unfortunately, all he can do now is just nagging, after all, the deal has been reached.
"Tonight is the strongest opponent we have encountered this season, guys."
"Do you have the confidence to win?"
Kongbu began to sit up in the locker room and mobilize before the war.
"have!"
The Raptors were full of confidence and responded loudly to Kong Bu.
Half an hour later, the referee blew the whistle to start the game, and the starting players of both sides began to appear.
The Raptors' starting lineup tonight is Big Ben, Camby, Monsters, Martial Saint and McGrady.
"Swish!"
At the beginning of the game, Payton assisted his backcourt partner Hawkins to make a three-pointer.
Hawkins is one of the defenders who entered the league in the 1980s. He is a few of the alternatives who are very proficient in three-point shooting and can maintain a three-point shooting percentage of more than 40% all year round.
From the late 1980s to the early 1990s, Hawkins played for the 76ers and was the core scorer in the team.
The game passed minute by minute, and Kong Bu's expression became more and more serious.
The situation on the field is extremely unfavorable to the Raptors.
Just three minutes later, Hawkins had already hit two three-pointers with Payton's assist.
Not long after, German anti-aircraft gun Schramf forced Mashburn's defense and also made two three-pointers in a row.
Kong Bu could clearly understand Marshburn's helplessness. His opponent was much higher than him. He immediately made a three-pointer after receiving the ball, not giving Marshburn the chance to step forward and block it.
Besides, even if it is really close, it is not so easy to block it.
Rahim, who played the Grizzlies before, or Tim Thomas, who played the 76ers, had not strong three-point firepower, especially Rahim, who now has almost no three-point ability.
Now that I meet Schramf, the power of such a big small forward with accurate three-pointers immediately showed up.
On the other hand, the Raptors play very retro, and they end the offense more with mid-range shots and basket offense.
By the time the first quarter was halfway through, the Supersonics had already led the Raptors by five-point difference with a score of 18:13.
Conbu quickly called for a timeout, replaced Cambi, and replaced Xiao O with a stronger offensive ability.
This arrangement has had a certain effect, but it has not completely reversed the situation on the field.
Kong Bu smacked his lips and looked helpless on his face. When faced with such a shooting team, the situation would become very difficult as long as the opponent shoots.
Originally, Kongbu also hoped that the supersonic feel could cool down in the second half of the game.
As a result, Dale Alice, who came on as a substitute, made 5 of 7 three-pointers, completely defeating Conbu's thoughts.
Alice entered the league in 1983 and had an amazing performance of 27.5 points per game in his peak season.
Now that I am older, my three-point shooting ability is getting more and more amazing, and this season even has a terrifying three-point shooting percentage of nearly 50%.
It tastes like the old age of Ray Allen in later generations.
The referee blew the whistle to the end of the game, and the Raptors lost to the Supersonics with a score of 92:101.
"Kong, I'm sorry you didn't win the game."
"But don't care too much, our three-point firepower tonight is a bit extraordinary."
George Carl went on the court after the game to shake hands with Conbu, and comforted him with a smile.
Kong Bu didn't care much at all, and this game did not fully reflect the true strength of both sides.
It’s not Conbu’s self-comfort, but that’s the case.
Teams like Supersonics perform extremely unstable. They can beat the Bulls when they feel good. If they don’t feel good, even the Bucks at the bottom in the East may lose.
If it's a playoff series, Conbu doesn't think his Raptors will lose to the Supersonics.
The original post-match press conference turned into a trading conference between the two sides.
When the reporters heard that Kong Bu picked up another marginal player that others didn't want, they couldn't help but become curious about Snow.
Can he rise like Big Ben or Xiao Ao?
Even if he lost the game tonight, O's performance was remarkable. He contributed 19 points and 9 rebounds in the whole game, which was no worse than All-Star power forward Wen Baker.
"Although the Raptors lost the game tonight, in my opinion, Conbu is definitely the best young coach in the league today."
"It is rare to see such capable but low-key young people now."
"The Raptors' growth this season has been witnessed, and I think Conbu is definitely qualified to compete for the best head coach of the season."
At the press conference, George Carl caught Conbu and praised him.
At this time, Larry Brown, far away in Philadelphia, watched the live broadcast of this press conference, and his face was unstable.
He wished he could fly to Seattle now, grab Old Carl's collar, and loudly asked him where he could tell Kong Bu was low-key.
The next morning, Conbu led the generals to Portland, and their next match was the Trail Blazers.
After arriving in Portland, Conbu looked at Xiao Ao and smiled bitterly.
Common sense, when the Raptors come to Portland to play away, Dunleavy should call to greet him and fulfill his friendship with the landlords.
After all, he and Kong Bu are also acquaintances and have made transactions before.
But now Dunleavy is missing, as if he doesn't know that the Raptors have arrived in Portland.
Kong Bu could roughly guess the current mental state of Dunleavy.
It was nothing more than seeing Xiao Ao take off, feeling that he had been deceived, and he had some complaints about Kong Bu.
Christie is indeed strong, but he can only be classified as a blue-collar outside player after all.
Xiao Ao's performance in these two games is already half an All-Star power forward. Considering that he is only nineteen years old now, this is the real overflow of talent and a real super giant in the future.
What's even more terrible is that the Trail Blazers added a first-round pick for this deal.
This makes Old Dunleavy look stupid.
If it were other coaches, they might be slapped in the face and pretend to be fat even if they knew they were losing a lot.
However, Old Dunleavy is not such a person.
This guy weighs 150 pounds, and 149 pounds are very sensible. He is completely different from the honest George Carl.
A lot of mind does not mean intelligence. Looking at the old Dunleavy's career, all aspects are not related to intelligence.
But he thought he was very smart again.
Sensitive, suspicious, and like to be smart, these are the characteristics of Old Dunleavy.
Kong Bu is now 10,000%, and Old Dunleavy will definitely find Xiao Ao to attack in the next game.
The deal has been reached. In order to make the deal seem less loss, and to save his smart image, Old Dunleavy will never allow Xiao Ao to explode in Portland.
On the day of the game, Conbu was having a heart-to-heart talk with the new Snow.
These former marginal players have some psychological problems, either extreme inferiority or extreme narcissism, thinking that they are just talented and unhappy, and can become superstars immediately if they have the chance.
Snow belonged to the former. He sat in front of Kongbu, so nervous that he dared not look directly into Kongbu's eyes.
Just as Conbu was about to give Snow some ecstasy soup, Xiao Ao walked in with his head protruding.
"Coach, can you..."
"Can I get me to start in tonight's game?"
Xiao Ao stammered.
Kong Bu sighed in his heart. It seemed that Xiao Ao's hatred for the Trail Blazers was not a little bit.
In this game against his old club, Ou mustered up the courage to start here, and his purpose is self-evident.
If Xiao Ao really made the starter, with Old Dunleavina's scrupulous attitude, he would probably think that Conbu was ridiculing him.
Kong Bu is not a psychopath, so he will not get into evil with others for no reason.
Originally, he wanted to play as an ordinary game, but he didn't do so many tricks.
But now that Xiao Ao has spoken, it seems that there is nothing he can do. There is really no reason to reject Xiao Ao.
Chapter completed!
