"Who the hell can tell me what happened?"
"Why are my players being taken away and I don't know anything about it?"
Old Thomas was going crazy, calling the team's coaching staff and all the players to his side.
Da Zhi is the captain of this Knicks team. He also looked confused at the moment. When he saw the angry old Thomas questioning him, he said, "Mr. Thomas, I don't know what happened."
"But as the captain, it is my responsibility that this kind of thing happened."
Old Thomas waved his hand quickly, "Son, what does this have to do with you? I'm questioning them, not you."
"Don't think too much about it."
In the eyes of old Thomas, Da Zhi was like a baby bump. It is no exaggeration to say that he treated Da Zhi better than his own son.
"Mr. Thomas, all I know is that Charles should have been drinking last night. It was already early in the morning when he came back, and he smelled of alcohol."
Peyton, who shared a room with Charles, said slowly.
Old Thomas was going crazy, sneaking out to drink in the middle of the night before the Eastern Conference finals?This guy is really damned!
Glancing at Payton, Lao Deng couldn't continue to say anything. If it were any other player, he would definitely have to growl.
"If you take it away, you will take it away. Anyway, he is just air. It doesn't matter if he is there or not." Peyton said indifferently.
He doesn't like Childs very much, and thinks that he lacks professional ethics and is weak. He is just a water fountain watcher in the team, and it doesn't matter if he has him or not.
Payton has such a long career and can maintain a super high appearance rate, relying on his self-discipline.
It is obviously impossible for a self-disciplined player to have a good impression of a player like Charles.
If it wasn't for black culture that whistleblowing was not allowed, he would have told Old Thomas about Childs going out drinking in the middle of the night.
Old Thomas was speechless. Childs was indeed an insignificant person, but he was also a player on the team's roster after all. He brought Philadelphia to play, and then disappeared?It doesn't matter how you look at it.
As soon as the police left, the reporters rushed into the hotel.
From the mouth of the reporters, Old Thomas finally knew what happened.
"I……"
"Damn it, really damn it!"
"Did I ever say don't do anything to offend Combe? How many times? Ten thousand times!"
"Running to other people's territory, hitting their players, and still off the field?"
"Whoever has the phone number of the Philadelphia Police Department, call them directly and let them shoot Charles on the spot. We don't want this player."
Old Thomas was really going to vomit blood this time. If Childs could be shot, he would definitely agree with it.
Sneaking out for a drink in the middle of the night, Old Thomas turned a blind eye and pretended it didn't happen. His usual policy for managing the team is to be easy-going, get along with the players, and call him brothers.
But you drank some cat urine, and then did this kind of thing?Who can keep you?
The most important thing is that this is Philadelphia and Combe's territory. If he provokes other teams, the old Thomas can show his old face to plead for mercy, but plead with Combe?Old Thomas couldn't do such a shameful thing.
He always felt that Kong Bu was his disciple, and no master would plead with his disciple.
In this way, the Knicks directly began to pretend that nothing happened, as if there was no player named Childs in their roster.
Combe was very puzzled. He thought that after Childs was captured, Old Thomas would probably call him to plead for mercy.
Even if he didn't make this call, he would definitely have to push Da Zhi to do it.
In the end, after waiting for a long time, they didn't get a call. The Knicks were completely calm, as if they didn't notice that there was a missing player in the team.
The Knicks really don't need Childs much.
Their starting point guard is Payton, and the backup point guard is the famous Mark Jackson. The Knicks team will never lack famous players.
Although Mark Jackson is not young, no matter what, he is two grades better than Childs.
Early the next morning, Combe got a call from Mark Lodge, whose lawyer had him getting ready to sue Childs.
According to the lawyer, try to keep Mark Rocky out of the game in the next game, creating the illusion that his career has been affected. In this way, if the evidence is solid, Charles will lose his fortune.
"Don't worry about going to court, anyway, I didn't plan to let you appear."
Combe laughed and said to Mark Lodge.
Mark Lodge didn't feel that Kongbu's words offended him at all, he knew that Kongbu didn't want to add pressure to himself.
After all, he is a player of the 76ers, and it is embarrassing for him to miss such a key game.
"Thank you, boss."
Mark Lodge still did not forget to thank Kumbu.
He is really grateful to Kumbu. With his performance, if he plays at the top of the sky and plays for two years, almost no one will care about him.
He entered the league as a second-round pick at the time, and his annual salary was only about 200 US dollars. He may only earn less than [-] million in his entire career.
It's all right now, after cheating on Charles, as long as he doesn't squander casually, he will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.
Charles had just signed a three-year, $3 million contract with the Knicks before, and after tax deductions, most of it may have to be used to compensate Mark Lodge.
……
This small dispute did not affect the Eastern Conference finals as scheduled.
"Kong, are you ready to lose?"
"If you really lose to us in this round of Eastern Conference Finals, don't cry. After all, you are a young man. It is normal to lose to a senior like me."
Thomas Sr. ran up to Combe to show off before the start of the game.
"Old man, in the past four years, I really can't remember how many seniors have said such things in front of me."
"Guess what happened to them?"
"By the way, where did your Childs go?" Kumbu asked in a typical knowing way.
Who would have thought that old Thomas would pretend to be stupid and startled, "What Childs?"
"I've never heard of it. Is this player in our roster?"
Kong Bu rolled his eyes straight, dealing with this kind of old Deng really makes people feel powerless.
……
After a while, the game on the field officially started. Da Zhi succeeded in jumping the ball and the Knicks started to attack.
In the first offensive round, Payton relied on his strong body to forcefully beat Iverson and scored two points in the mid-range shot.
Iverson clenched his fist angrily, but there was no good way to deal with the stubborn Payton.
The reason why the Knicks were able to kill the Raptors in the last round was that Payton beat the bearded Davis.
佩顿七场比赛打下来，场均26分5篮板9助攻3抢断，而大胡子戴维斯则是只有场均11分6助攻，差距一目了然。
Experts from all walks of life commented that the evaluation given was that it was not unreasonable for Kumbu to let Payton play the starter and keep the bearded Davis on the bench.
The two don't seem to be the same level of players at all.
Kong Bu must have watched this round of duel. In his opinion, Big Beard was not as weak as he appeared to be. The reason why he was completely blown up was due to a problem with his style of play.
Beard completely abandoned his strong body on the offensive end, and wanted to use his younger advantage to attack Payton with speed.
Then there are good fruits to eat?
The tactical status of the other two is not at the same level. Payton is the absolute core of the Knicks' outside line. Whether it is Houston or Wu Sheng, they are all his helpers.
And the bearded man on the outside of the Raptors is purely the younger brother of Carter and Pierce. He doesn't have much possession of the ball as a point guard.
In the offensive round of the 76ers, Iverson really wanted to single out Payton, but he didn't dare to play too presumptuously on this occasion. Every next game may determine whether he can get the first game of his career. A championship, he had to be cautious.
Even this is no longer a question of the first championship, it may be the only chance to win his entire career.
If he misbehaves on the court, he can guarantee that Combe will trade himself as soon as possible during the offseason.
In the eyes of other coaches, I may be an extremely precious baby bump, but in the eyes of Combe, Iverson does not think he is irreplaceable.
After controlling the ball to the frontcourt, he dribbled the ball quickly and took Payton back and forth.
This is the tactic that Kumbu formulated before the game.
I think when the Raptors played the Bulls back then, they relied on Payton to consume Jordan's physical energy, and then completed the dynasty.
As the saying goes, you have to pay back sooner or later. Payton used this trick to deal with Jordan, and now Iverson can use the same trick to deal with the old Payton.
As long as Payton's physical fitness is greatly affected, the Knicks' perimeter offense will drop sharply.
It took about ten seconds to play back and forth in various directions before Iverson passed the ball to Kirilenko.
Ratliff comes up and does a pick-and-roll, and Kirilenko hits a mid-range shot that goes into the net.
It was the Knicks' offensive round again. Payton did not choose to play hard this time. An old fox like him also realized Iverson's plan.
Now that he saw Iverson's plan, Payton simply reduced the physical energy consumed on the offensive end and left his physical energy to defend Iverson for a while.
After he slowly controlled the ball to the frontcourt, he passed the ball to Big Zhi.
Da Zhi looked at Ratliff in front of him, he charged forward, and after forcing Ratliff back, he directly took a step back, stepped on the three-point line and scored two points.
In the 76ers' round, Iverson still took Payton to run around, and then chose to pass the ball to Reid who was running.
Reid failed to score a three-pointer, and the offensive rebound was grabbed by Yao Ming who was under the basket.
Yao Ming directly pushed away Uncle Mu who was beside him, and he dunked with his hand, causing the fans on the scene to cheer like chicken blood.
Yao Ming, who has gained weight for a whole season, now has a tonnage of 135 kilograms. Compared with when he first entered the league, he has gained nearly [-] kilograms. The whole person is like an inflated balloon, changing at a speed visible to the naked eye. fat.
The originally dry and thin face began to look round now.
The benefits of gaining weight are extremely obvious. He can use his physical advantage at the basket to drive away opponents for dunk opportunities.
It wasn't the first time that Uncle Mu had played against Yao Ming. During the whole season, Yao Ming gave him the feeling that he was getting stronger every time.
In the beginning, Yao Ming couldn't break through his defense line at all. Even if he received the ball under the basket, he could only use the hook to attack.
The hook is indeed an unsolvable offensive method, and it is almost impossible to be blocked, but it is too slick. Once the hand feels bad, you don't need the opponent to defend, and you can't hook it.
Later, as Yao Ming gradually gained weight, he was able to compete with Uncle Mu at the basket.
Waiting until tonight, Yao Ming's weight gain has almost been successfully completed, and Uncle Mu is already a little bit overwhelmed.
Kong Bu stood on the sidelines with a happy expression on his face. As long as Yao Ming can forcefully beat Uncle Mu, everything will be easy. With a super center under the basket, their chances of winning against the Knicks must be at least [-]%.
It's not that Kong Bu is blindly confident, but that Uncle Mu is really easy to suffer when he is facing a large-tonnage center.
Under normal circumstances, this year's Uncle Mu joined the Philadelphia 76ers halfway, and then helped Iverson reach the finals.
But in the finals, when Uncle Mu played against Ao Pang, he failed to successfully complete the task of restricting Ao Pang.
The two sides played five games, and Iverson scored the highest with 35.6 points per game. Ao Pang was not the highest scorer, but he definitely beat Uncle Mu.
He averaged 33 points, 15.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists, and 3.4 blocks per game, and his shooting percentage was 57.3%. With ten fewer shots than Iverson, his scoring was almost the same as Iverson's.
Of course, forcing the 35-year-old Uncle Mu to single-handedly lock up Ao Pang is a difficult task in itself.
Now that Uncle Mu is playing against Yao Ming, it feels like he is playing against Ao Pang under normal circumstances.
Unable to withstand the opponent's impact at the basket, and unable to grab the opponent's rebounds, he seemed very passive on the court.
Seeing that Uncle Mu couldn't stand up to Yao Ming, Iverson was overjoyed.
Things became simple, and the next thing I have to do is to pass the ball to Yao Ming as much as possible.
In the Knicks' offensive round, Houston failed to score a mid-range shot, and Kirilenko grabbed the rebound.
The 76ers started to attack, and Iverson flew around with Payton again, but this time Iverson ran with purpose.
In terms of speed, Payton will definitely not be able to keep up with Iverson, but he can use his experience to hit Iverson when he makes a shot.
But when Iverson rushed outside the three-second zone without making a shot, and handed the ball to Yao Ming instead, Payton knew in his heart that things were bad.
Yao gets the ball from Iverson, holds it high, and stares at Mutombo with his back.
If there is no accident, he will push Uncle Mu behind him, and then directly raise his hand and dunk.
Seeing that something was wrong, Da Zhi quickly let go of Ratliff and came to help Uncle Mu defend.
Yao Ming saw that Big Zhi was coming, and immediately transferred the ball to Kirilenko.
The latter once again used Ratliff's pick-and-roll to make a mid-range shot.
Old Thomas' face turned pale. He had a chance to win. Why is the situation on the court completely different from what he thought?
What he thinks is that Payton completely locks up Iverson, and their Knicks have the advantage from the outside.
On the inside line, Uncle Mu locked Yao Ming, and Da Zhi opened fire crazily.
Both inside and outside have advantages, so why don't the Philadelphia 76ers lose?
After playing for a few minutes, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have underestimated Yao Ming's dominance at the basket.
