Chapter 279 The God-defying Arab

"Didn't you injure your toe and be unable to participate in the World Championships?"

"Why did you come to my training camp?"

Kongbu asked curiously after seeing Ao Pang. The camera around him was recording everything that happened in the training camp.

"It was because of my toe injury that I came to your training camp for rehabilitation training."

"And I'm very curious about how you train players and why the players you train are so strong. In order to defeat your second dynasty, I decided to come here as a spy."

Aopang's camera skills are very good, and his words are also very emotional. He not only explained why he did not go to the World Championships, but also flattered Kong Bu.

Kongbu was speechless. Come to his training camp for rehabilitation training? There are doctors in his training camp, but they are just students who have not graduated from medical school. The players have a small bump in the training game, so let them put a band-aid on it.

For more serious injuries, nothing can be done.

O'Brien's appearance in the reality show has also made this season's reality show attract more attention from fans. The ratings have exploded, and James Dolan's mouth is full of joy.

Just like the last season of the reality show, Kongbu chatted with some outstanding young players and commented on them. This is the most popular part for fans.

"Mike, you are a very good shooting player with excellent height and wingspan. If you can improve your defensive level, I believe you will become an All-Star player."

Kongbu first commented on Dunleavy Jr., and his evaluation was quite pertinent.

Dunleavy Jr. is 206 centimeters tall and plays the swingman position. His overall style of play is somewhat similar to Prince or Blades Rashad Lewis.

It's just that Dunleavy Jr.'s defense is much worse than Prince's, and his offensive firepower is much worse than Lewis's.

His offense is very advanced in this era. About 40% of all his shots are three-pointers, and his shooting rate is not low.

After all, the height advantage is there, and he received professional shooting training from old Dunleavy since he was a child, so his shooting percentage cannot be that low.

It can be said that he was born in the wrong era. If the elder Dunleavy had given birth to him twenty years later, the younger Dunleavy might have been selected as an All-Star.

In this era, any player who cannot defend well is destined to be unable to have decent achievements, unless he has the top offensive ability like Iverson.

Kongbu thought that his evaluation was very fair, but when young Dunleavy heard it, he was very disappointed.

He is a true pride of heaven. He was once the number one high school student in the United States. He played for Duke University, a super-prestigious school, and helped Duke win the NCAA championship.

Under normal circumstances, if Yao Ming had not entered the draft and the Bulls, who held the No. 2 pick, needed a point guard, so by selecting Jay Williams, Dunleavy Jr. might even have become the No. 1 pick.

He originally thought that Kongbu would give himself a very high evaluation, for example, that he would become the second Larry Bird. After all, when Kongbu evaluated Curry before, his evaluation was quite exaggerated.

As a result, Kongbu's evaluation was that he needed to improve his defense before he could have a chance to become an All-Star. Of course, Dunleavy was unwilling to do so.

Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do about it. This was Kongbu's evaluation, and he did not dare to contradict it.

Don't talk about him, even his father, old Dunleavy, doesn't dare to shame himself in front of Kong Bu now.

The Grizzlies' fourth pick Drew Gooden and Combs also gave similar comments, that is, if the defense can be improved, they will also have the opportunity to become All-Star players.

Gooden's playing style is relatively tough, with an exaggerated beard and a majestic and powerful body measuring 208 centimeters. At first glance, he looks like Lu Zhishen.

He has mid-range shooting ability, low post ability, and decent rebounding ability, but his defense is not very good, which is in sharp contrast to his appearance.

Generally speaking, fierce-looking players are good at defense, and Gooden is a rare exception.

…

Time flies by and the two-month training camp is over.

On August 30, the World Championships officially started.

Kongbu's paid training camp has also been announced. The last training camp made Curry popular, and the most talked about in this training camp is undrafted Reggie Evans.

When the draft ended, Combs immediately asked Brian Hill to sign Evans and then let him enter his training camp.

During the two months of training, Evans left a very deep impression on thousands of fans. This guy's rebounding is really ridiculously strong.

There are often some highly confrontational training games in the training camp, and O'Brien will also get involved. As a result, when facing O'Go, Evans scored 23 rebounds in the game, including 13 offensive rebounds.

, immediately became a blockbuster.

You must know that this is an undrafted draft pick that no one cares about. In just two months, he has developed such terrifying rebounding ability.

Even O'Pang was no match for him on the rebounding end, let alone the new player Gua Danzi in the same class, who was completely outplayed by Evans on the rebounding end.

As the saying goes, Florida doesn't breed idlers, and there are all kinds of weirdos and strangers in the state. Basketball freaks like Evans quickly became the darling of the media.

Combu even received calls from several teams wanting to trade Evans. Even though this guy didn't play a single game, he still attracted the attention of many teams.

The more current this era of declining centers, the more it highlights the preciousness of rebounds.

Because the small ball era has not yet come, teams in the league are still fighting traditional positional battles, and there are not many key rebounders. If you can get Evans, at least you don't have to worry about losing rebounds on the court.

Although Evans' offensive firepower is not good, and his defensive ability is not up to the level of Ben or Rodman, his defense is not a colander, at least it is average.

The traditional power forward position itself is a blue-collar position, playing the role of a center helper. Evans is very suitable for this role.

Unfortunately, most of the bargaining chips provided by these teams are next year's first-round picks, and they are all not very high in draft picks. Of course, Kongbu looks down on them.

He doesn't even know if he will coach in Philadelphia next season, and there is really no need to hoard so many draft picks for Philadelphia.

I think he hoarded so many draft picks for the Raptors, but he didn't put them to any use later.

…

At three o'clock in the afternoon on August 30, Kongbu led the Chinese men's basketball team into the game.

There are a total of sixteen participating teams in this World Championship, divided into four groups.

The Chinese men's basketball team is in Group D. The opponents in the group are Angola, Algeria and Germany.

Their opponent tonight is the German men's basketball team led by Nowitzki.

Under normal circumstances, the Chinese men's basketball team also played Germany in the first game of this World Championship, but lost by a huge margin.

On a stage like FIBA, Nowitzki is also a big killer.

But things are different now. The Chinese men's basketball team has an incredibly strong lineup. The German men's basketball team can't win the game just relying on Nowitzki's performance.

Nowitzki was very relaxed before the game. After all, tonight they faced the winner of the last world championship and the Olympic champion. They are currently the number one team in the world in basketball. Losing is not a big deal.

"Kong, Mr. Nelson asked me to congratulate you on his behalf. Congratulations on winning your fifth championship trophy."

Nowitzki walked up to Kongbu and said in a gentle tone.

When talking about the fifth championship trophy, Nowitzki's eyes flashed with a hint of loneliness. With the current situation of the Mavericks, it is unlikely to win the championship in at least five years.

The main reason is that the Mavericks' current record is neither good nor bad. They can't get high picks in the draft. If they trade, Finley takes up a lot of salary space and there is no extra salary space.

Go for recruitment.

If no special circumstances occur, the Mavericks have almost no hope of winning the championship.

Boss Cuban is actually very powerful. He has spent a lot of money on the Mavericks in recent years, and the team ranks among the top three in salary rankings every year.

You must know that the football market in Dallas is not that big, and Cuban has almost been losing money and making money in recent years.

Nowitzki's personal statistics are very luxurious, not worse than Duncan or Garnett at all. However, due to the team's record and weak performance on the defensive end, his ranking of active power forwards given by various media has not been high.

For example, in the ranking of active power forwards given by ESPN last season, the number one ranking was of course Duncan, followed by King Webber, the third by Timberwolves Garnett, the fourth by the Raptors, and the fifth by the Philadelphia 76ers.

Randolph, sixth is the Pacers' Ou, and Nowitzki can only be ranked seventh among active players, only slightly better than the Clippers' Brand, whose record is a mess.

Of course Nowitzki is not convinced. His statistics are obviously much better than those of Randolph or Bus, so why is he ranked so low?

But he also knows that the team's record is not good, and he has no confidence in anything he says.

"Thank you Mr. Nelson for me. Next time we go to Dallas for an away game, I will treat him to dinner." Combu patted Nowitzki on the shoulder in a gentle tone.

Nowitzki gave Kong Bu the feeling of being a bit sentimental, like the kind of child who is easily bullied.

Throughout his career, even the pickiest fans can't find many black spots in Nowitzki. He is dedicated to playing professionally, has a very good professional attitude, has a clean private life, has an ambition to compete for the championship, and in the end

Did it too.

In addition, when he gets older, he is willing to give up power and assist the newcomers in the team.

Anyway, he is a perfect player.

…

Soon the game started on the field.

As soon as Kongbu came up, he directly sent out the strongest lineup of the Chinese men's basketball team, preparing to overwhelm the German men's basketball team at the beginning, and then quickly end the game.

Point guard Yi Jianlian, shooting guard Lao Hu, small forward Da Zhi, power forward Daba and center Yao Ming.

The height of this lineup is very intimidating, and after being put on the field, the old American fans at the scene took a breath of air.

The seven-foot-tall point guard Yi Jianlian is really scary.

Suns general manager Danny Ainge is here tonight, and he is here to cheer for Yi Jianlian.

When he saw Kongbu put Ah Lian at the No. 1 position, Anji couldn't laugh or cry. He didn't believe that the seven-foot-tall Ah Lian could perfectly fulfill the role of point guard.

But after the game officially started, he immediately retracted his ridiculous idea and admired Kongbu in his heart.
