Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 127 Bobo, Are You Desperate! !
Leading by two points, replacing Duncan, and finally tied!

The Spurs fans in front of the TV felt like they were going to have a cerebral hemorrhage.

Listen to the crazy cheers of the Lakers fans on the TV.

Listen to the crazy shouts of the commentators on TV.

At this time, the Spurs fans in front of the TV looked at the equally confused Spurs coach Popovich in puzzlement.

In the last defense of the Spurs, Popovich replaced the double center and played one big and four small, no problem.

At that time, everyone predicted that coach D would play a five-back tactic to attack.

In order to defend the five backs, of course one big and four small are needed.

but!

Why was Duncan replaced?
Why not keep Duncan on the court and play juniors?
Even if Duncan is exhausted now, he has already fought for 23 minutes and 40 seconds in the second half, why not let him fight again in the last 20 seconds?
anger!
puzzled!

Unwilling!

Popovich, who used to be the god of coaches in their minds, this time this key decision made the Spurs fans really have a cerebral hemorrhage.

And without contrast there is no harm.

Look at the coach D who is embracing with China Yi now, Nima's!

As far as his performance at critical moments, Bobo was blown away by Coach D!

China lost a backboard in the last defensive round.

In this offensive round, Coach D did not replace him with Howard, but continued to keep him.

In the end, he made up for it by grabbing an offensive rebound and tied the game for the Lakers!

And, it's not the first time!

In this series, the Lakers have tied or beat the Spurs three times!
In the first game, the defensive round at the critical moment, everyone would choose to put Nash on the bench, but Coach D put Nash on the court. In the end, Nash completed the key steal to kill the Spurs!

In the second game, TMC didn't take a single shot in the last 3 minutes. It looked like it was going soft, but Coach D dared to shout 'McGrady! ', Let McGrady, the player who was ridiculed by Popo as a softie, go to shoot the lore. In the end, McGrady really hit the lore, the Spurs lore!

And this time, China has...

After the Spurs fans in front of the TV reviewed the three games in this series.

The original symptoms of cerebral hemorrhage not only did not ease, but also deepened!

In the past, they really thought that Bobo was good everywhere, knew the system, could play tactics, was ruthless, and there was nothing wrong with coaching at critical moments.

The perfect head coach.

But after this series, the Spurs fans really wanted to cry.

Who the hell would cry like this at the critical moment of losing every day!

The Spurs are about to fall behind 0 to 3.

But TM, after watching their three games, it is obvious that the Spurs are stronger than the Lakers!

This is the most fucking shit!

They didn't lose this series because of the strength of the team, but because of the head coach!

This is what makes Spurs fans the most unbearable.

After all, Popovich used to be the god of coaching in their minds.

But in this series, Coach D is the god of coaches, and Bobo, at best, is neurotic at critical moments, the coach's neuropathy!

"This is the difference between coach D and Bobo I said! The difference between the two is not in strength. Maybe in terms of strength, Bobo is still above coach D, but coach D trusts players more, and Bobo Trust yourself more!"

"And this is the most direct manifestation. Coach D believes that Yi can complete the final redemption, while Popovich believes in his own judgment. Duncan has no physical strength and is not suitable to stay on the court to defend. In the end, these two are completely different. The philosophy of basketball led to this final result!"

"I won't say that Duncan will be what will happen on the court, but Yi did not take off the offensive rebound from Duncan's head in this game!"

Barkley is very excited right now.

For this series, the round just now was too critical!
If the Spurs really defend and win the game, then the final big score will be 2 to 1, and the subsequent games will be terrifying, and they must go to the tiebreaker.

But now, Yi Jueping, Duncan has run out of ammunition and food, although the four guards Ganash has also run out of ammunition and food, and the final offense is solid, but, obviously, now, the morale of the Lakers is booming!

Hear the cheers of Staples now!
Hear the cheers from all over Los Angeles right now!

At this moment, in the whole world, I don't know how many fans of the Los Angeles Lakers are crazy.

Even if you don't know what's going on outside.

Look at the Staples Center at this time.

The Hollywood stars in the front row once again knelt on one knee and formed a row. Now, every time the Lakers play at home, Hollywood stars kneel on one knee. It has become a regular repertoire. They always look for opportunities to kneel.

But at this moment, they don't need to find a reason at all, and the fans will not say that they are rubbing traffic.

Because the Lakers fans themselves want to kneel down to Coach D at this time!
Too fucking strong!
The three games were evenly matched, even slightly weak, and Coach D insisted on making it 3-0!

Jim Shu in the stands was already weeping with excitement.

After defeating the Spurs, the Lakers will enter the finals!
The promise of leading the team to win the championship within three years is about to be fulfilled!
"Jim, let's win the championship this year!"

Thinking back to what Du Kang said to himself with a smile that night.

Jim Shumo wiped away the tears of excitement, and clenched his fists tightly.

And at Aunt Jenny's not far from Jim Solo.

At this time, the expression on Aunt Jenny's face was not so pretty.

Although she is a relatively amateur fan.

But I also know that in such an atmosphere, the Spurs will most likely be gone in overtime.

0 to 3 behind, in the history of the NBA, no team can make a comeback!

"Too strong! Our coach D is too strong!"

During the timeout period before the start of overtime.

The Lakers fans were chanting Du Kang's name like crazy.

And in the famous area of ​​Staples.

At this time, the legend of the Lakers was equally excited.

"This is the strongest coaching art I have ever seen!"

"The tie-break series was actually swept away by Coach D!"

"Popovich, who is known as the most coachable in the NBA, was actually made such a serious command error by Coach D!"

"Coach D's tactics and system are hard to evaluate now. His IQ, his ball quotient, his ability to judge and read the game are definitely the first in NBA history!"

"I only now know how great Mr. Jerry Buss is. A head coach as powerful as Coach D should be tied to the Lakers chariot!"

"The position of the godfather of the Lakers should belong to Coach D! It's not that Mayfair can't do it, but that Coach D is too strong! Give Mayfair the disabled three guards, and give the lost China Yi to Mayfair. Will be swept by the Clippers, just like being swept by the Mavericks, but Coach D can sweep the Spurs!"

Once upon a time, those Lakers celebrities who followed Aunt Jenny to fight and kill Du Kang, and were envious and jealous of Du Kang's gift from Old Buss, have all jumped back at this time.

Became a loyal fan of Coach D.

Let's just put it that way.

As far as Coach D's performance in the Lakers and Spurs series is concerned, as long as he doesn't resign himself, no one dares to force him to resign.

As long as Coach D isn't so proud himself.

Even if they don't win the championship this season, Lakers fans are willing to give him time and wait!
In the entire history of the NBA, there is no head coach who can hold a hammer at Popovich's level like Coach D!
Therefore, at this time, whether it is the on-site commentary, the Lakers fans on the scene, or the famous Lakers, anyone who is paying attention to this game at this time is shocked and crazy by the Lakers' incredible final tie.

"Absolute tie is not winning. This game is great. You are great. Your opponents are also great!"

"Believe that your opponents can create miracles, and believe that you can also create miracles yourself!"

Du Kang stretched out his right hand and raised it high!

Kobe, McGrady, Carter, Iverson, Nash, Howard, Yi Jianlian, Ebanks, Oden, Gasol, Artest...

All the Lakers players followed Du Kang and raised their right hands.

The wristbands of various colors on the wrists of the Lakers players are so dazzling.

In addition to the 9 Lakers players who were awarded wristbands by Du Kang, other Lakers players also got a white wristband on their wrists.

Well, they dare not get wristbands of other colors.

Seeing the excited and determined expressions on the faces of the Lakers players at this time, Du Kang smiled and shouted.

"Definitely!"

"Definitely win!!"

"Definitely win!!!"

Shocked!

Coach D took the shouts of the Lakers players!
Red orange yellow green blue blue purple black and white!
Under the illumination of the lights, the legendary wristbands on the wrists of the Lakers players!
It's all so shocking!
Even the Spurs fans in front of the TV were so shocked that their scalps went numb!

Overtime begins.

The Spurs here.

Duncan played again.

Duncan, Leonard, Danny Green, Ginobili, Parker, this is the strongest lineup for the Spurs.

And the Lakers side.

Popovich was a little dazed.

Oden, Howard, Yi Jianlian, Ebanks, Kobe.

Falk! ! !

"Coach D is really a fucking dare to hire people!"

Budenholzer next to Popovich was stunned.

Five guards in the fourth quarter.

Two centers in overtime, three insiders, four forwards, plus a guard who can play a swingman!

This Nima's!

Do you want to be so extreme!

"If it was in regular time, I would be worried about Coach D's big lineup, but now, the Spurs have one big, four small, five players, and their physical strength is not the best. They may not be able to punish the Lakers' three inside big men. line-up!"

In the NBA, big and small are opposites. The big can restrain the small, and the small can also restrain the big.

It depends on whether the small one is strong or the big one is strong.

In the fourth quarter, he took the initiative to use five guards to play Duncan's retro-style big center in this game.

Then in overtime, a big lineup was used to play the Spurs' first and fourth juniors.

"Coach D is always so extreme, but always at the most appropriate time, so extreme!"

Overtime jump ball.

Duncan lost to Howard.

Now Duncan is exhausted visible to the naked eye.

As for Howard, he rested for a whole quarter in the first fourth quarter, and he can be described as full of energy.

Kobe didn't slow down after taking the ball, but launched a fast break quickly!

Then, a very surprising scene happened on the court.

The Lakers, who played two centers and three insiders, actually launched a fast break against the Spurs, one big and four small!
"My goodness!"

The three TNT commentators on the sidelines were stunned.

Seeing the lineup of the Lakers and Spurs, anyone with a bit of common sense would think that even if they want to start, the Spurs will start.

The Lakers are going to play positional offense.

However, the Lakers, with a larger lineup, are starting a fast break!
Faced with the Lakers' style of play, the Spurs did not expect it.

The whole world didn't expect it.

So the Spurs' defense on the court was a little flustered.

However, not everyone is flustered.

Duncan, Leonard, and the Spurs, the two defensive cores with one inside and one outside, are not messed up.

Kobe wants to take advantage of the situation and get to the three-point line.

It was blocked by Leonard at the free throw line.

This game is not the first time Kobe has faced off with Leonard.

Leonard plucked at his head.

He also beat Leonard single-handedly.

But most of the time, he couldn't impress Leonard with shooting problems.

Leonard's speed is not that strong, his explosive power is not that strong, and his athletic ability such as jumping is first-rate, but his defensive skills are really good, and his static talent is also really good.

He has strength, wingspan, skills, and a stable mentality.

Such a defensive player is really not easy to play.

It's not easy to fight under normal circumstances.

Let alone under abnormal circumstances.

but!

We are fast break!
The Lakers' ironing helps the board flow, and they don't need to be easy to fight!
Leonard is preparing to defend Kobe!
Kobe actually pulled up high directly in front of him!
Seeing that Kobe was going to be pulled, Leonard subconsciously wanted to block it!
Almost at the same time.

Howard!
Yi Jianlian!
Howling from both sides of their own!

Just like that time his pass error!

This is the Lakers' iron to help the flow! ! ! !

The Lakers' fast break, the Spurs have nothing to do!
Duncan had already reacted very quickly, but he could only block Oden.

And Howard and Yi Jianlian, Ginobili and Parker also followed.

But, let Parker and Ginobili come and grab rebounds with these two insiders?

Isn't this looking for death?

Fast attack!

This is fast break!
Not positional defense.

Can't shrink!

In such a short moment.

Leonard looked at Kobe who jumped up from outside the three-point line and could only seal it!

There was nothing he could do when he went back.

The three of them couldn't grab the Lakers' two insiders.

But if Kobe made a three-pointer because of his concession, it would definitely be his fault!

I have been fooled once and suffered a loss once.

This time, I absolutely can't hesitate anymore!

Leonard jumped up with Kobe and sealed it!
"Great!"

"This kid has grown up again!"

Before this series, Du Kang always felt that Leonard was a good young 3D player.

However, so far in this series, apart from Duncan, the Spurs who shocked and impressed Du Kang the most are not Ginobili or Parker, but Leonard!

Steady, too fucking steady!
It's incredible to be so young, to be so stable, to make such an accurate judgment at such a suffocating moment!

Clang!
Kobe's shooting hits the iron!
Another bang!
Howard beat Parker to grab an offensive rebound and dunk!

100 is better than 102!

The Lakers will exceed the score at home!

In overtime, either score counts.

Especially when both teams are exhausted.

Such scores are especially important.

After Howard scored a dunk, he jumped up and down shouting and laughing, pointing at Du Kang for a while, pointing at Kobe for a while, high-fiving the Arab next to him for a while, and patting Oden on the back for a while. back.

O'Neill, who was watching, gritted his teeth.

"This kid doesn't really think he is the owner of Los Angeles, the boss of the Lakers, right?!"

"Hahahaha, in Coach D's system, Howard's vitality is indispensable! If I were Howard, I would think the same way. The four guards helped to beat Duncan to exhaustion, and he came up to harvest by himself. With Kobe on the board, surrounded by players like Oden and Yi, Howard is so cool in this lineup!"

Because it's so cool.

So Howard, who scored on the offensive end, returned to the defensive end, and the defense was really desperate.

After Yi Jianlian helped him withstand Duncan.

Howard really swept a large area.

Oden now has inside phobia.

Insider phobia is not only present when attacking, but also when defending.

Any hesitation in fighting a powerful old demon like Duncan will become a loophole.

Therefore, Oden can't defend alone now, but can only assist in defense.

Help defense with Howard.

Oden and Howard are assisting in the defense, and Oden is responsible for helping to pinch Duncan.

And Howard is responsible for helping to defend the perimeter.

This can disgust the two breakthrough streams of Parker and Ginobili.

Three insiders!

It's still Oden, Howard and Yi Jianlian who move very fast and the three insiders!

How dare you fight this shit!
In the end, the Spurs' offense was dragged to 24 seconds and passed to Leonard.

Duncan was surrounded by three inside lanes and couldn't catch the ball at all.

It's useless to catch the ball!
At 4 minutes and 26 seconds into overtime, Leonard received an assist from Parker, faced Ebanks' defense, and made a mid-range shot.

A swipe!
102 is better than 102!

Leonard's mid-range shot hit was really like saving a life.

Popovich on the sidelines almost knelt when he saw that the Spurs had 24 seconds to go!
After Leonard hit the 2-pointer, Popovich immediately became excited again.

"Shrink, shrink, don't be afraid of the Lakers shooting outside, it's hard for everyone to shoot now!!!"

Yes, it's hard for everyone to make shots now, so Leonard's shot just now is so precious!
This is called a giant planet!
"This kid has the talent of a superstar!"

On the court, the Lakers attack.

This time, the Spurs shrank their defense.

The Lakers' offense is not easy to play.

With Duncan at the basket, the Lakers are really not good at hitting the iron to help the rebound.

Striking iron to help the flow is never a blind strike.

but……

"Coach D is signaling Oden to the free throw line!"

"Coach D is micromanaging the Lakers' offense!"

The Lakers didn't have a good chance after 15 seconds of offensive play, and Du Kang began to micromanage.

"Coach D rarely micromanages like this!"

"It can only be said that this game is too suffocating!"

"Coach D actually asked Oden to make a mid-range shot instead of Yi!!!"

Oden at the free throw line, guarding his player is Manu Ginobili.

"Bobo, Oden can shoot three-pointers. I haven't seen him shoot mid-range shots!"

Popovich breathed a sigh of relief.

then……

A swipe!
Oden is 10 for 0 from three so far in the series.

Hit his first mid-range shot of the series.

An 85 mid-range shot is definitely more reliable than a 75 three-pointer.

"Greg, the three-pointer is the final destination of a big center, and the mid-range shot is the biggest romance of a big center!"

After Oden hit the mid-range shot, he excitedly kissed the black wristband on his hand, then ran to the sidelines and hugged Du Kang fiercely.

See Auden and Du Kang who are embracing at this time.

Popovich was dumbfounded.

"Oden, coach D developed a CIC!!!"

Howard's three-pointer can also be defended with Danny Green.

But Oden made a mid-range shot, and Ginobili really couldn't guard against it!

"This kid is too fucking dark!"

Who the hell knew that Coach D was waiting for him here!

He told Popovich just now that Budenholzer, who Oden can't make a mid-range shot, is stupid.

In regular time, Oden's mid-range shot may not be that important. In regular time, the Lakers have a lot of offensive players, and Oden's mid-range shot is really not enough.

but!

When everyone is exhausted and scoring is difficult.

There is such a new force that can shoot and it is difficult for opponents to defend, that is the last straw that breaks the camel's back!
Therefore, after Oden made a mid-range shot, Popovich immediately requested a timeout.

After the timeout, Popovich replaced Ginobili with Diaw.

Diaw has the strength to stand up to others, and his speed must be very good among the centers. In addition, he also has a certain amount of physical strength. This is specially designed to deal with Oden.

Popovich, for Oden, slowed the team down and added height.

The game restarts.

In view of Leonard's outstanding performance, the Spurs came back from a timeout and played Leonard directly.

Don't engage in any tactical cooperation, let's go straight to work!

"Popovich has no choice but to use Leonard as a superstar in the end!"

As far as the Lakers' three-inner lineup is concerned, the insiders can't get in, and the outsiders dare not throw, and they still don't get in.

In the end, you can only rely on superstar singles.

Then, it wasn't Parker who played the role of superstar, it was Leonard!
"Using a role player like a superstar, oh my god!"

"What a scene of despair!"

Spoelstra in front of the TV was beyond shocked!

This is the Spurs!

This is Popovich!

In the end, being forced into such a predicament by Coach D!
If this is placed on the Heat, it is equivalent to letting Chalmers play singles in the end!
How terrifying is this kind of despair!
"Coach D is hunting Popovich!"

what?
Spoelstra looked at the teacher next to him, Pat Riley, in shock.

hunting? !
tease!
A hunter puts a ferocious beast in a fence and uses all kinds of methods to play with it!
Give the beast a chance to break through.

But the beast will find that any of his breakthroughs will be a failure, and in the end, he will become more and more desperate!

"Popovich will find that any adjustment he makes is a failure!"

"Coach D, you're not only killing people, you're also killing people!"

Pat Riley finished speaking in shock.

Spoelstra next to him was already trembling.

excited!

fear!

Stimulate!

I couldn't be more excited!
Fake!

Is this the opponent I will face in the finals!

on the field.

Leonard faced Ebanks' defense, and this time he hit the iron with a mid-range shot.

Looking back, Ebanks made a mid-range shot over Parker's head!
102 is better than 106!

Leonard was in front of Kobe, Diaw was in front of Oden, Danny Green was in front of Howard, and Duncan was in front of Yi Jianlian.

Parker was left with Ebanks, who looked the weakest on offense.

then!

"Ebanks can play singles and looks good!!!!!!"

"More importantly, in such an important game, such an important moment! Ebanks, dare to attack, dare to single!!!!"

"Coach D's method of training players is amazing!!!"

Watch Ebanks hit this mid-range shot over Parker's head.

Parker himself was dumbfounded.

Spurs fans in front of the TV are desperate.

And even more desperate is Popovich!
Just Ginobili is a loophole.

Now Parker has become a loophole again!
So who is the next bug? !

"The Spurs made another substitution, Gary Neal replaced Parker!!"

The Spurs attack.

This time Leonard singles Ebanks again.

After receiving a pass from Diaw, he broke through from outside the three-point line and let Leonard play like Durant.

"The ball is broken!"

"Ebanks stole the ball!!!"

"The Lakers with three insides and four forwards are fast breaking again!"

Watching the Lakers with all five arrows on the court.

Looking at Duncan who couldn't run on the court and was gritting his teeth and returning to defense.

Popovich's eyes are red!

Clang!
102 is better than 108!

Ebanks made a dunk!

"I can't lose, I can't lose this game!!!"

"Being behind by 6 points, there are still 2 minutes left, and we can still catch up!!!"

Popovich yelled behind him.

"The Spurs made another substitution. Popovich replaced Duncan again, and Manu Ginobili was replaced! This is going to be a three-pointer!!!"

This time Popovich replaced Duncan without causing any controversy.

Duncan really can't beat the three inside Lakers.

only……

"After Popovich uses role players as superstars, he will soon use his most hated three-pointer as his life-saving straw!!!"

"Anyone who knows Popovich knows that Popovich will not make such a decision if there is any hope!"

Popovich doesn't want to lose right now.

Because this is not the Western Conference semifinals!

It's the Western Conference Finals!

This is the chance for the finals!

Even a championship chance!

After passing the Lakers, Popovich is 100% sure of winning the championship!
1 to 2 and 0 to 3 are two completely different scenarios.

but!

I, Du Kang, also don't want to lose!

Under Popovich's shocked gaze, Du Kang walked to the sidelines.

"Extend all!"

Du Kang gave an order.

At this time, all five players of the Lakers on the field were expanded.

Howard, Oden, Yi Jianlian, Ebanks, and Kobe have all expanded!
The Spurs players on the court at this time are Ginobili, Leonard, Danny Green, Diaw and Bonner.

Everyone can shoot the three.

However, no one has a chance to shoot a three-pointer!

No, not even a chance to make a move!
"My goodness!!!"

I saw five Lakers players covering all the Spurs players on the court.

The Lakers audience and TNT's commentary were all dumbfounded.

Compared with the Spurs, who are out of ammunition and food, the Lakers players on the court are really tall and fast.

"For Popovich, three-pointers with 2 minutes left in the game, this is the most desperate time, it is almost tantamount to suicide!"

"As for Coach D, he doesn't even give Popovich the chance to commit suicide!!!"

Even Maizi on the sidelines was dumbfounded at this moment.

How desperate it is to commit suicide, no one in this world knows better than him!
Now, Popovich is just like him in his dream. He wants to commit suicide, but he can't do it!
A happy smile appeared on Maizi's face.

Something he didn't let Duncan experience.

The coach made Popovich experience it!
On the court, after 24 seconds, Ginobili, who was tightly covered by Howard, didn't even have a chance to throw a three-pointer!

In the end, he threw it casually and was directly grabbed by Howard!

then!

Howard roared past Manu Ginobili who fell backwards trying to shoot!

"Howard breaks fast off the dribble!"

"Oh my God! Howard is running fast off the dribble!"

When things like Howard's dribble and fast break happened, the whole Staples was boiling!

"despair!"

"The more Popovich adjusts, the more desperate he becomes!"

"An incredible game!"

"This is a super god game!"

"In the last game, Duncan, the four guards, and coach D are the super gods!"

Clang!
Howard's gliding split was successful!
102 is better than 110!

On the court, Howard is saluting Coach D on the sidelines!

On the sidelines of the court, Coach D smiled and looked at Popovich next to him.

"Have you ever felt hopeless?"

"..."

Popovich was stunned.

Looking at the smile on Du Kang's face, Popovich's mind flashed with desperate faces.

"We may be the dirtiest team in the NBA, but we always have!"

"We're known for it, we're known for our brutality!"

At that time, he was laughing arrogantly.

"Bobo, are you desperate? Now, I will give it all back to you!"

And this time.

Desperate is me...

He wasn't arrogant, just smiling.

……

……

　In the 2013 Finals, except for that free throw, Leonard's performance at other times was very stable. The Spurs were the most stable player except Duncan.
