Chapter 281 Do you understand the value of Philadelphia Mahjong King?

Seeing that the inside combination of Ben and Brand was really at a disadvantage, George Karl had no choice but to take off both of them and replace them with LaFrentz and McDyess.

McDyess is a veteran inside star in the league. Although he is not a first-line star, he can still be regarded as a figure.

As for LaFrentz, his presence in the league is not strong.

He ranked fourth in the list of blocks last season, averaging 2.6 blocks per game, which seems pretty good. Unfortunately, blocks are just like steals. More blocks does not necessarily mean good defense.

LaFrentz's defense can only be considered average. The reason why he blocks so many shots is often due to the number of fouls he commits. He even averages four fouls per game in a single season.

George Karl's arrangement is effective. At least the offensive firepower of this combination is much stronger. LaFrentz has good shooting ability, which can help the team create space inside.

However, the poor defense of the perimeter lineup was still fatal. Yi Jianlian and Da Zhi played like a fish in water, and even Lao Hu performed well on the offensive end.

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, Dream Team 5 lost 86:102 with a margin of sixteen points.

Even though many fans had a premonition that this Dream Five team would fail and would probably lose to the Tianchao Men's Basketball Team, when the final score was presented to them, they still couldn't accept it.

There were boos all over the place, and no one in the entire Dream Team, from the coach to the players, was spared.

How did these fans know that losing to the Tianchao Men's Basketball Team was just the beginning of a nightmare, and that the Dream Five Team would lose one after another.

Kongbu looked at the lonely old Karl with sympathy. In fact, he had done nothing wrong, but in the end he had to endure endless humiliation.

In the following schedule, the Tianchao men's basketball team won consecutively and could not find any decent opponents.

Dream Team 5 did not even make it to the semi-finals, and in the end, just like normal, they only got a sixth place result.

There were only sixteen teams in total, including many warm-hearted teams like Africa's big brother Angola. As a result, the Dream Team only finished sixth. It was simply a nightmare team.

The end of the World Championship schedule shocked the old and American basketball circles. One after another famous players came out to criticize the current stars for their lack of responsibility and unwillingness to play for the country.

Barkley caught Ou and three other Lakers stars and blasted him, saying that the Lakers were the culprits of the Dream Team's shameful record.

The Lakers certainly don't agree with this statement, because the Lakers are not the only ones with the best stars in the league, including Duncan of the Spurs, Webb of the Kings, Garnett of the Timberwolves, Allen Iverson of Philadelphia, Carter of the Toronto Raptors, etc.

The Magic's Tracy McGrady, the Celtics' Pierce, and the Bucks' Ray Allen all didn't participate in the competition?

Why are you staring at them, the Lakers?

Barkley's mouth was completely unreasonable. Seeing that the Lakers dared to confront him, he started scolding the Lakers directly.

Ewing, one of the top four centers, lamented when being interviewed by reporters that their era of dominance in the American basketball world has passed.

These words are even more unacceptable to the fans. In addition to starting to criticize the players and coaches of the Dream Team 5, no active stars in the league are spared. As long as they are not participating in the competition, as long as they are stars with acceptable strength, it doesn’t matter whether they are

He was qualified to be selected for the Dream Team 5, but everyone was criticized.

At this moment, Larry Brown, who had been away from people's sight, suddenly jumped out.

"I think losing is not just a problem for our players and coaches, but also a problem for the internationalization of the NBA."

"We have helped our opponents develop too many powerful stars!"

"We trained them, but they turned their butcher's knives on us and defeated us!"

"I hope the league can find a way to change this situation, otherwise we may never win the World Series."

Larry Brown did not mention Kongbu in his words, but every word seemed to be directed at Kongbu.

What he said was actually correct. Not only did the Chinese men's basketball team beat the Dream Team 5, but this year the German men's basketball team also finished fourth under the leadership of Nowitzki.

Spain, led by Gasol, finished third.

Argentina finished second under the leadership of Ginobili.

The top stars of these teams are said to be trained by the NBA, so there is indeed nothing wrong with them.

Larry Brown is a fanatical patriot, which means patriot.

From his point of view, the failure of the Dream Team 5 is because the NBA has cultivated too many opponents. Otherwise, even a lineup like the Dream Team 5 would be enough to sweep any team in the world.

There is definitely nothing wrong with being patriotic. What Larry Brown said was wrong was that he offended too many people at once.

The core players of many teams in the NBA are international players. What Larry Brown said is equivalent to characterizing the owners of these teams as traitors.

Some fans began to criticize the team owner again.

Larry Brown was speechless. His original intention was to make fans complain. After all, he is the biggest threat to the US men's basketball team. The Dazhi, Daba and Yao Ming he trained, as well as Yi Jianlian, who is about to enter the league, are all

Serious trouble.

Who would have thought that fans would completely misunderstand and go directly to criticize those bosses, which is tantamount to further blocking Larry Brown's return to the NBA.

Of course he still wants to return to the NBA. Although the NCAA is good, he doesn't make much money.

It is rumored that the salary of NCAA coaches is comparable to that of NBA coaches. In fact, there is only one NCAA coach who can get such a salary, and that is Coach K of UCLA, the holy land of basketball. Most of the other NCAA coaches' salaries are less than one million US dollars.

Even for someone of Larry Brown's level, he only earns around one million. Of course, he misses the NBA's annual salary, which can easily exceed five million.

It's okay now. He's burned himself out by provoking a fight. How could the team owner hire him?

…

The World Championships have come to an end, and the Chinese men’s basketball team’s championship did not bring much surprise to Chinese fans.

The surprise was an unexpected surprise. Everyone thought that the Chinese Men's Basketball Team could win the championship, so naturally there was no surprise.

However, Yi Jianlian's performance can indeed be called a surprise, not only for Chinese fans, but also for NBA fans.

They haven't seen such a special and powerful player in many years.

The reason why Grant Hill was so popular back then was because he was special, had such comprehensive abilities, and was so comprehensive that he overtook Jordan and became the All-Star vote winner.

And Yi Jianlian's combat effectiveness at the World Championships is definitely not comparable to that of Grant Hill.

At least the physical talents of these two people are not on the same level.

The current label of Arab League is that he has comprehensive abilities, is good at sudden shooting, has strong organizational skills, high golf IQ, physical fitness is comparable to that of a monster, and his playing style is violent.

Such a player, even if he is not a Suns fan, will definitely continue to pay attention to him.

When the time came in late September, Combo made a direct call to Brian Hill and asked him to gather all the players in Philadelphia and take a plane to the Magic City of China.

This year’s NBA preseason games are scheduled for two games in China, one is the Philadelphia 76ers versus the New York Knicks, and the other is the Phoenix Suns versus the Los Angeles Lakers.

It was originally the Raptors versus the Lakers, but when Stern saw how good Yi Jianlian was, he simply removed the Raptors and replaced him with the more eye-catching Yi Jianlian.

Just from the perspective of playing style, Yi Jianlian's popularity is destined to be dozens of times higher than that of Daba.

On the other hand, Kongbu returned to China directly from Indiana with his team members.

After arriving in the Magic City, Combu summoned all the current Philadelphia 76ers players. There are many new players joining the team this year, and they need to meet in person first.

"Mahjong! Mahjong!"

"I want to go to an authentic mahjong parlor and let them see the strength of the Philadelphia Mahjong King!"

As soon as Iverson saw Kongbu, he immediately shouted that he was going to play mahjong.

"Okay, I'll take you there tonight. If you lose, don't throw up the table and get angry."

The Magic City is Yao Ming's hometown, and he took the initiative to be the host and entertain his teammates.

"First of all, I'm not a bad person, and secondly, I can't lose!"

“Do you understand the value of Philadelphia Mahjong King?!”

Iverson patted his chest and said confidently.

"Let's go together, let's go together. After two months of rest, I can't find anyone around me who can play mahjong."

Randolph was also very interested.

Kongbu smiled and waved his hands, asking the two mahjong maniacs to calm down.

He set his sights on several newcomers joining the team this year.

The one with the highest pick is Caron Butler, and the one with the most cost-effectiveness is Boozer.

"Caron, Billie King has arranged your mother's work, right?"

Kongbu first chatted with Caron Butler.

Butler nodded. He actually understood why Combs had to arrange for his mother to come to Philadelphia.

"It's been arranged, coach."

"Don't worry, I have grown up and I will definitely not do those stupid things again."

Kongbu smiled with satisfaction and said: "As long as you grow up, you are destined to become a billionaire in the future. It's better to avoid those street things."

"After all, you don't want to make so much money and then lose your life to spend it, right?"

"Even if it's not for yourself, think more about your mother."

Caron Butler nodded repeatedly. His mother was his hero. Even if Kongbu didn't say it, he had already decided to change his mind.

"Tyshawn, stand forward and don't cower in the corner."
