NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Chapter 11 Becoming the Protagonist's Bodyguard

The Grizzlies called a timeout and started making substitutions.

It's a pity that their lineup background is too shallow, even if they change players, there is no way to reverse the current situation.

Taking advantage of the timeout, Kumbu also made lineup adjustments.

Take down McGrady, who has not entered the state, and replace him with Uncle Bao, who is "waiting to be fed".

Hearing that Kumbu let him appear on the stage, Bowen was so excited that he trembled all over.

Although they were all undrafted, his situation is different from that of Daben.

Big Ben still has a little playing time in the Wizards at least, and Bowen is completely considered an air man.

"Coach, thank you for letting me play, don't worry, I will never let you down!"

Bowen clenched his fists, blushed and said loudly to Kong Bu.

Kong Bu smiled and waved his hands, "Calm down, buddy."

"You are our core rotation player and our perimeter defensive gate. If you are not allowed to play, who will play?"

These words directly touched Uncle Bao's heart, wishing he could throw his head and blood for Kong Bu right now.

It has to be said that Combe's chicken soup coaching style is very suitable for the current Raptors.

There are too many newcomers and fringe people in the team. With the blessing of the training field, they already have strength, but they still lack self-confidence.

A player without confidence on the court, even if he has [-] points of strength, can only hit [-] points at best.

Count those top stars, Jordan, Kobe, James, Iverson and others, all of them are confident.

Now under the daily "you are the best, you are the best" language offensive by Comb, the Raptors are getting stronger and stronger.

In addition to Bowen, the original Raptors starting center Pooboye-Jones replaced Big Ben.

Jones's strength is not bad. In the past two years, he was also a first-class insider who averaged double-doubles per game, so he is good enough for rotation.

After the timeout ends, the game continues.

The next situation on the field surprised Kumbu.

The Grizzlies began to allow Raheem to hold more ball possessions, and with Ben off the court, the rebounding gap between the two sides was no longer that big, and the Grizzlies had found their own offensive and defensive rhythm.

But Wu Sheng Jackson used offensive firepower abruptly to suppress the Grizzlies' counterattack.

After the first quarter was over, the Raptors led by 32 points with a score of 20:12.

Among them, Wu Sheng scored 22 points alone, even higher than the entire Grizzlies team.

Originally, Kong Bu didn't expect too much from Wu Sheng, but regarded him more as a bodyguard.

In case of special circumstances on the field, Wu Sheng can protect McGrady immediately.

As a result, McGrady, who was protected, got a bit hot-eyed in his first show, but the bodyguard became the protagonist on the field.

Playing at this pace, it would be easy for Wu Sheng to score [-] points tonight.

He will likely go down as the most successful rookie in NBA history.

"Stephen, you've earned a hundred times your worth in one game!"

"A treat, you definitely want a treat tonight."

"If you're lucky, you'll definitely have a chance to break Wilt Chamberlain's 43-point first-show scoring record tonight!"

All the generals congratulated the Martial Saint one after another.

Wu Sheng couldn't hide a smile on his face, even if he was just a newcomer, he knew very well what this debut meant.

It is a bit exaggerated to say that his value has skyrocketed by a hundred times. His annual salary is $24, which is the standard second-round pick.

In today's alliance, there are only nine people with an annual salary of more than [-] million, and each of them is the overlord who guards one side.

There are only two people with an annual salary of 2000 million, one is Jordan's 3000 million, and the other is the gorilla Ewing's 2050 million.

Obviously, it is impossible for Wu Sheng to reach this salary level.

But even if it is exaggerated a hundred times, there is absolutely no problem with ten times and twenty times.

"Coach, thank you. If I really sign a big contract in the future, I will definitely give you a supercar."

"I'm lucky, you are the best coach!"

Wu Sheng looked at Kong Bu gratefully and said sincerely.

This remark immediately resonated with many people. In addition to Martial Saint tonight, Da Ben and Bao Sanshu, who had lost the draft, performed extremely well.

In 8 minutes of the first quarter, Daben scored 8 rebounds and 2 blocks, including 4 offensive rebounds, which are priceless.

Even if he didn't score a point, Ben's performance on the defensive end and rebounding end was extremely amazing.

Uncle Bao played for 4 minutes, and he hardly participated in the offensive end. He just took a cold shot and made a three-pointer, and he even made it.

The performance of the defensive end made Combe a little unbelievable.

In my impression, Uncle Bao's defense was extremely filthy, and he almost recruited and rushed to useless people.

But in the 4 minutes of defense just now, Uncle Bao defended very cleanly.

Kong Bu thought about it carefully, and this may only be explained by the fact that oranges grown in Huainan are tangerines, and oranges grown in Huaibei are oranges.

A purebred role player like Bowen, his style of play is not dirty, in fact, it is often the coach's instructions.

The coach asked him to play cleanly, how dare these role players disobey the coach.

Before joining the Spurs, Bowen was already a member of the league's best defensive second team. Even if he doesn't use dirty methods, his defensive strength should not be underestimated.

Both Da Ben and Bao Wen knew very well that Kong Bu had the grace of rebuilding them, so they agreed with Wu Sheng's words.

"No, I'm definitely not the best coach."

"But you are definitely the best players, and each of you will be the mainstay of this league."

"Don't be proud if you play well tonight, and don't be discouraged if you don't play well."

"Continue to suppress them and destroy them on the field. After the big victory, I will treat them."

Kongbu continued to drink chicken soup, which made the Raptors even more morale.

After the intermission, both teams returned to the court, and the Raptors continued their starting lineup for the first quarter.

Big Ben's suppression of the basket on the court is extremely obvious, and its effect is definitely no less than that of the martial arts saint Jackson who is fully fired.

By the end of the first three quarters, the Raptors had already led the Grizzlies by a terrifying 91 points with a score of 57:34.

Such a point difference, not to mention the Raptors who were both fat last season, it is not so easy for the Bulls to play against the Grizzlies.

The main reason for this kind of hanging and beating situation is Wu Sheng's terrifying performance tonight.

He played 32 minutes in three quarters, and he has already scored 41 points alone, which is only the last two points away from Chamberlain's debut scoring record.

Old Thomas was stunned watching from the sidelines. Are you sure that the wolf-like team on the field is the Raptors?

Are you sure the guy who scored 40+ in three quarters is a second-round pick?

Are you sure that the shorty who recorded 22 rebounds in three quarters is undrafted?

He even wondered if he should search through the summer league rosters of each team, and maybe find a few such treasure players.

In the shock of Thomas Sr., the fourth quarter began.

The Grizzlies were scolded by Brian Hill off the court just now, full of anger, and their body movements became much more after they appeared on the court.

Especially big redneck Levi's.

Old Thorpe is no matter what the All-Star veteran, Hill still wants to save some face for him.

The Grizzlies' inside line was fully exploded, and the young Levi's became the target of Hill to vent his anger.

　There are too few recommendation tickets, my buddy, please order some recommendation tickets, thank you very much
