Coach, I don't want to retire yet
Chapter 189 This 8, I'm sure! ! !
Chapter 189 This eight, I'm sure! ! !
On the last day of the NBA regular season, the two games between the Lakers and the Spurs, and the Grizzlies and the Mavericks are simply crazy.
The two games that decided the playoffs in the Western Conference both ended in overtime, and they were both lore in the end.
Ebanks' three-point salute made the whole of Los Angeles boil.
And Conley's two-point free throw lore silenced the entire Dallas.
A season of hard work was ruined like this.
In this Wild West, the Mavs went 50-32 under the leadership of Nowitzki and eventually missed the playoffs.
50 wins!
The first team in NBA history to miss the playoffs with 50 wins!
Who can stand this?
As soon as the game ended, Mavericks owner Mark Cuban rushed to the court to question why the referee gave Conley a chance to foul a free throw.
On the court, the Grizzlies players rushed to Conley frantically to celebrate at the end of the game.
"Mike, you saved our season of hard work!!!"
Conley is also very excited to be surrounded by his teammates.
When he rushed to the basket, his idea was not just to help the Grizzlies, but to help his childhood friend Oden.
So the excited Conley immediately asked about the result of another game.
"How's the Lakers-Spurs game going?"
"Coach D yelled that he wanted to see Ebanks salute, Ebanks made a three-pointer and saluted Coach D!"
What the hell! ! !
Excited Conley was dumbfounded when he heard what coach Jogel said.
Is it so exciting to play?
Coach D's password is too arrogant!
Isn't this the iconic preview lore of Coach D?
Coach D's preview lore not only killed Mayfair Jackson, but also Popovich!
"So, now the entire NBA is crazy!"
The Grizzlies head coach Jogel, who followed the Lakers game all the way, was excited.
This game between the Lakers and the Spurs is so exciting!
The final scene was incredible!
Ebanks saluted the lore Spurs, not only Staples went crazy, but even the entire NBA went crazy.
This is no exaggeration at all.
Coach D's game command is really like magic!
Even if he is strictly guarded by the NBA's supervision, he can still pretend to be such an unbelievable beep!
Ebanks!
This little Ariza!
This player who has no strong offensive ability and is very unstable offensively can stage such a lore at the last moment!
What is this magic that is not Coach D?
No matter what the prospects for the Lakers in the playoffs are.
At the very least, in the regular season, Coach D has mastered his own destiny, as well as the destiny of the Lakers.
Except for the away game against the Rockets, the Knicks released one game.
In these games where Coach D was suspended, at the most critical moment, even if Coach D was suspended, he finally saved himself and the Lakers!
In fact, let alone in the United States, it is in China on the other side of the ocean.
Ebanks' salute lore also collapsed the entire Chinese Internet.
Ahhh, that poor server was crashed again!
Ahhh, the servers in these two seasons have been changed more and more, but no matter how they are changed, they can't stop the impact of Coach Xiao Du and the Lakers.
No way, to a certain extent, the influence of Ebanks' salute lore in China is indeed greater.
In the United States, Ebanks is just an ordinary 3D player, and the star-studded Lakers are not too dazzling.
But in China, the popularity of Ebanks is high, the first supporting role of the NBA's frontline in the CCTV program.
In this way, amidst the hustle and bustle, the NBA regular season is over.
With the intervention of Coach D at the last moment and Ebanks' lore, the Lakers caught up with the last train of the playoffs.
In the end, the Lakers ranked eighth in the Western Conference with a record of 51 wins and 31 losses in a difficult regular season.
The Lakers will face the No. 65 Western Conference Spurs in the first round of the playoffs, with 17 wins and [-] losses.
Both the Spurs and the Thunder have a record of 65 wins and 17 losses, but the Spurs have a better divisional record, so they rank first.
The Thunder, which ranks second in the West, will face the Grizzlies, who are seventh in the West, in the playoffs.
In the regular season of this season, the Spurs and Thunder both achieved 65 wins, and the Warriors also had 62 wins. The record of the three teams came to 60 wins, which also created the history of the Western Conference.
However, the team with the best regular season record this season is not in the West, but the New York Knicks in the East. The New York Knicks have a record of 68 wins and 14 losses this season, ranking first in the league.
The Knicks' F4, this season's performance in the Knicks is very good.
At the end of the regular season, this team's odds of winning the championship are also number one in the league.
The Knicks are now the most promising championship team in the league.
Faced with such optimism, Knicks coach Phil Jackson expressed confidence in the postgame press conference after the final regular-season game against the Heat.
"Thanks to Coach D for the Lakers, and Mr. Jerry Buss. If it weren't for them, my Knicks and I would not have such a brilliant present."
Mayfair is still so forthright.
However, this is still so yin and yang.
Obviously this is mocking Jerry Bass for not treating him as his own and driving away such an excellent person, see now?
Without you Jeri Buss and the Lakers, I, May Jackson, are like a dragon swimming in the ocean!
As for thanking Coach D.
If Coach D hadn't defeated the Heat's Big Three in the Finals last season, he wouldn't have had the opportunity to coach a super team like F4 in the Knicks.
He can have today, of course, thanks to Jerry Buss and Coach D.
When Mayfair Jackson said something like this, he wanted to fight with Coach D.
Back in Los Angeles, he was upset that Coach D kept ignoring him.
Now that he has won the first place in the league, Coach D is only the eighth in the Western Conference. Now he has the advantage, so of course he wants to humiliate and humiliate Coach D!
It just made Mayfair Jackson very uncomfortable.
His verbal battle didn't start at all.
He wants the world's public opinion to criticize Coach D's poor record with the Lakers this season, and wants public opinion to criticize Coach D for ruining the Lakers' championship hopes this season because of his recklessness.
However, the next day, the media across the United States was bragging about Coach D's code word.
"Ebanks, I want to see you salute!"
Seeing such public opinion and reports.
Phil Jackson is so angry.
The words he fired at Coach D were all in the corner.
Not even many newspapers reported it!
what does this mean?
Isn't this ignoring me?
This is not to say that I, May Jackson, are not at the same level as coach D. These troublesome reporters think that he is not worthy of being compared with coach D, not worthy of the popularity of coach D, coach DissD.
groove!
Mayfair Jackson felt like he really broke the defense!
Originally, I wanted to play with Coach D's emotions in the last game.
In the end, Coach D completed the counter-kill, and failed to play with Coach D's emotions.
But now, the glory he got for being number one in the league is not as good as the glory that the eighth D coach in the Western Conference gets!
Everyone has to break the defense.
Mayfair Jackson looked at the pile of newspapers in his hand, really wanted to rub Coach D on the ground!
"In the finals, I must beat Coach D to win the championship!"
"..."
Kidd next to him was speechless. In the last game of the regular season yesterday, Mayfair, didn't you want the Lakers and Coach D to be your swordsmen?
I also want to directly push Coach D out of the playoffs. According to this logic, shouldn't it be expected that Coach D will be eliminated by the Spurs in the first round?
The regular season for the Lakers is over.
As the defending champion, the regular season record is only 51 wins and 31 losses, barely entering the playoffs.
But here in Los Angeles, everyone is very satisfied.
There is no dissatisfaction and discomfort of the eighth in the West.
After coach D was suspended this season for the most severe suspension in the history of the Lakers, the Lakers are really too difficult.
After experiencing the three acting head coaches of Nash, Hamm and Clifford, Lakers fans have put the lowest record requirements for the Lakers this season.
Just make it to the playoffs!
No matter what the number is, as long as you enter the playoffs, don't become the defending champion who can't make the playoffs.
Therefore, after the end of the regular season, whether it was the legendary head magician of the Lakers or Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who was not very willing to show up, they all went on the show one after another, accepted interviews, and relieved pressure for Du Kang and the Lakers.
"This season was tough, we all knew it was tough, but we persevered. I certainly hope that Coach D can really come back, but if Coach D can only come back next season, I won't have any dissatisfaction."
"Coach D has been suspended, but he has proved himself. He is the best head coach in the world. As long as he comes back, the Lakers will be a decisive team!"
"Our expectation for Coach D is not the success or failure of a season, but the glory of an era!"
"Coach D will bring the Lakers the most glorious era!"
It can also be heard from these words that Magician and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar are decompressing Du Kang and the Lakers.
Hope Lakers fans now accept that the Lakers may be eliminated by the Spurs in the first round.
In fact, there is no need to worry about magicians and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
At this time, most Lakers fans actually didn't care about this.
"When Kobe and McGrady played 10 minutes in the final game of the regular season and Ebanks made the tribute game, our season was perfect.
We did not enter the playoffs with the charity of the New York Knicks, and we did not enter the playoffs with the charity of the Spurs. Our destiny is in our own hands, and we accept all our own destiny!
It doesn't matter if they are eliminated in the first round! "
At the end of the regular season, the whole of Los Angeles fell into surprise.
Du Kang naturally felt this emotion.
In fact, it is not just the emotions of fans and celebrities.
Fans and celebrities are preparing to play the series against the Spurs as their last round of the season.
And the Lakers players.
The same thought at this time.
Du Kang's office.
At this time, Maizi and Kezi are all in Du Kang's office.
"Coach, we have no physical problems now, and three days of rest are enough."
After the last game of the regular season against the Spurs, Kezi and Maizi had a physical breakdown.
As far as Kezi and Maizi's physical condition after the last regular season game against the Spurs, they can't make up for it without a week of rest.
Especially Koko.
The way of killing the body to become a god is really too harmful to the body.
Therefore, Du Kang intends to focus on using young players in the first round of the playoffs.
Yao Ming, Roy and Olajuwon led the team's young players to the Spurs.
Play the Spurs for two games first, and then Kezi and Maizi will return.
Du Kang is such a plan.
But Kezi and Maizi objected.
The team's three assistant coaches also objected.
Playing the Spurs focuses on using the team's young players?
This is too scary, okay?
"Du, if you are the one who coaches the team, this kind of strategy will definitely be successful, but I am the one who coaches the team. What you can do, I cannot do."
"Yeah, Du, just like Michael Jordan's draft, the world in his eyes is different from the world in other people's eyes!"
"Coach, this time, I agree with Mr. Clifford and Darwin. To play the Spurs, we can only fight! I know you protect us, but Bryant and TMC are willing to die on the court. You say yes no!"
"..."
What the old man said made Kobe and Maizi dumbfounded.
We did intend to die on the field, but...
Well, now the old monk's painting style is completely wrong, and they don't care about it, after all, this is their comrade-in-arms old monk.
"Coach, I absolutely don't allow myself to be a spectator at this time!"
"If the coach is still in the team, what are you talking about, now you are not in the team, we need to pay more!"
That's what's going on inside the Lakers right now.
Du Kang looked at the pile of yellow spots on Kezi's body and frowned.
In the regular season, he can make Kobe Bryant and Maizi suffer from sudden groin strains.
He doesn't care so much about the outcome of the regular season.
But the playoffs...
Keep doing the groin strain trick and knock Clifford out, and the Lakers are done.
Now Du Kang is indeed in a dilemma.
In fact, Kobe and the others were right.
Du Kang is willing to give them the greatest trust.
But they themselves don't have that much confidence in themselves.
Du Kang believes that it is not so difficult for the Lakers to pass the Spurs now, but the Spurs are indeed the No. 65 team in the Western Conference with [-] wins.
Let Maizi and Kobe rest for two games, or even show a series, and reuse the team's four rookies. This kind of thing is a fantasy in the history of the NBA.
Only coach D has the confidence to do this kind of fantasy.
Others, no one is confident.
If you really have the confidence to do such a thing, then everyone is Coach D, why is there only one Coach D?
"I see, let's do what you want."
Finally, Du Kang said with a smile.
He has a system that can detect the bodies of Kezi and Maizi. As long as there is a red, high risk, he will try to intervene in time.
As for saying that yellow brings injuries, this can only be said to be bad luck.
The first round of the playoffs between the Lakers and the Spurs is definitely the most watched first round of the playoffs in NBA history.
Although most people are more optimistic about the Spurs, but this is the Lakers!
Although the Lakers basically have no possibility of a black eight.
But this is the Lakers!
This team has Kobe, McGrady, Yao Ming, Olajuwon, Roy, and Oden.
How could such a team be an ordinary eighth team in the Western Conference.
On April 4, the NBA playoffs began.
The two games in the Eastern Conference were all upset.
The sixth-ranked Nets defeated the third-ranked Raptors 94-87.
The Eagles, the seventh in the East, defeated the Pacers, the second in the East, 101 to 93.
When the two playoff games in the Eastern Conference started, many NBA fans were taken aback.
At the same time, it also made the Lakers fans quite excited.
The players are superstitious, and so are the fans!
Will something miraculous happen in this season's playoffs?
In the next two games, the Thunder, the No. 100 in the West, defeated the Grizzlies 90-109 at home, and the Warriors, No. 105 in the West, defeated the Clippers [-]-[-], instantly extinguishing the enthusiasm of the Lakers fans.
Even the head coach of the Spurs, Popovich, knows about the ups and downs of the Lakers fans.
Before the first round of G4 between the Lakers and the Spurs on April 20, Popovich joked with a smile.
"I understand the feelings of the Lakers fans, but the West and the East are different. There is only one strong team in the East, the Knicks, while in the West, there are three strong teams. It is very difficult to beat these three teams."
Popovich's words were quickly criticized.
And the person who hates Popovich is either someone else or the current assistant coach of the Lakers, my old man, Na Ran.
"We just defeated the Spurs in the last game of the regular season. Is it difficult to beat the Spurs? Coach D swept Popovich and the Spurs last season. We are not as good as Coach D. We can't sweep the Spurs. We beat the Spurs 4-3, which is reasonable. Bar?"
What the hell!
At the pre-match press conference, Nash's words stunned the reporters on the scene.
Not to mention the reporters on the scene, even Popovich himself was dumbfounded after hearing it.
After recovering from the shock, Budenholzer sighed.
"Without Coach D's life, but with Coach D's disease, Nash deserves his reputation!"
Such an arrogant person is a coach who has led a team and never won an NBA game. Can you believe this?
If it were him, if he couldn't win a game, he would hide as far away as he could, and he could coax as much as he wanted, not like Nash.
"It doesn't matter what Nash says, as long as he doesn't appear on the court, no matter how much he says, it doesn't mean much to us!"
Popovich said himself after recovering.
The Spurs' UCLA air cut is afraid of Nash, and Nash sees through.
Now that Nash is not on the court and Coach D is suspended again, what can the Lakers use to fight the Spurs?
On April 4, the first game of the Spurs and Lakers series, the Spurs played against the Lakers at home.
Just like Popovich thought.
Even if the Spurs players were not in good condition in this game, although UCLA's air-cut tactics were played, the outside feel was not good, and they only scored 95 points.
But in the end, the Spurs beat the Lakers 95-90 at home.
In this game, Duncan made 20 of 12 shots and scored a game-high 27 points.
Corvo, Maizi, Olajuwon, Roy, Olajuwon, Yao Ming, the overall state of this game is not good.
Except for Duncan, the two teams' star players have never shot more than 50%.
With such a Spurs, the Lakers can't win.
What can the Lakers do to beat the Spurs?
The Spurs players were in poor condition, and they didn't make any shots in their tactics. Not only was Popovich not unhappy, but he was very happy.
Then, something that sickened Popovich happened.
After the game, Nash once again came out and disgusted the Spurs.
"You all say that the Spurs are No. [-] in the West, and the Lakers are No. [-] in the West. In this game, do you feel that this is No. [-] in the West and No. [-] in the West?
We did lose this game, but I feel that we are not the eighth in the West, we are the second in the West!
In the next game, if we get back to our offensive form, we can beat the Spurs! "
On April 4, after a three-day break, Game 23 of the series began.
The first game was played on April 4, and the second game was played on April 20.
Such a schedule is very friendly to the Lakers.
It is equivalent to playing the game on April 7 in 4 days.
So when G2 started, the Lakers players who were in poor condition in G1 took off in place.
科子全场20投8中,三分球10中4,砍了26分。
麦子全场10中8,三分球4中2,砍了20分。
姚明全场17中7,罚球2中2,砍了16分。
Roy made 14 of 7 and scored 18 points.
Olajuwon made 9 of 7 shots and scored 16 points.
In this game, the Spurs also played an offensive state, shooting more than 50% from the field and three-pointers.
but……
Maizi was amazing at the critical moment, one-on-one defensively stealing Ginobili and completing a layup lore.
In the end, the Lakers defeated the Spurs 113 to 112.
这场比赛吉诺比利12中9,三分球6中5,罚球7中4,砍了全场最高的27分还有6次失误。
Especially the mistake at the last moment made Popovich yell directly from the sidelines.
Maizi's steal and layup lore really broke Popovich's defense.
At that time, the whole world thought that the Lakers would adopt foul tactics.
There are only 12 seconds left, 1 point behind, and the Spurs have the ball. This is definitely a foul tactic!
So, why did the Lakers make such a choice?
After the game, when Maizi was asked this question, his answer shocked the audience.
"The big screen of the Spurs played the picture of Coach D at the last moment. I saw the coach's instructions. He touched the back of his left hand with his right hand, which meant that I was asked to defend the steal. Finally, as you can see, I made a steal with my right hand. Ginobili's left-handed dribble."
What the hell!
Maizi's words directly broke the defenses of the reporters from the holy city.
It also made all the other reporters on the scene laugh out loud.
Coach D didn't even have a seat ticket for this game, only a standing ticket in the last row.
It is actually obvious that the Spurs do this, they just don't want Coach D to be of any help to the Lakers.
It was the same in the last game.
This is the Spurs' home court, how could it be possible for Coach D to show off!
At the last moment, leading by 1 point, the ball is still in his hands. Everyone thinks that his side has a high probability of winning, right?
So the on-site broadcast camera also showed off Coach D for the first time. If you want to see Coach D's sentient beings, is there anything wrong with that?
In the NBA, when the game is about to end, it is normal to watch the sentient beings of the losing game.
It's just, who the hell would have thought that Coach D could command the team while being watched by all beings, and he succeeded!
After Maizi revealed his lore secret in the post-match interview, Popovich became paralyzed.
Does this work?
And TNT's three celestial group commentators laughed like crazy in the subsequent programs.
"Hahahaha, don't play critical moments with the Lakers, otherwise even if Coach D is in the stands, the opponent will pay the price!"
"The Spurs and Popovich apparently forgot that the last time they were killed, Coach D was also in the stands, hahahaha..."
"Popovich won Clifford the whole game, and finally lost to Coach D's 12 seconds, hahahaha..."
The Lakers actually played 1-1 with the Spurs in the two home games of the Spurs. This is something that many people did not expect.
On April 4, after another three days of rest.
The Lakers returned home, and G3 faced the away Spurs.
In this game, the Spurs once again played very well.
The Spurs, who were beaten by the Lakers in the last game and held back for three days, played very fiercely in this game.
Duncan scored 14 of 8 and scored 22 points.
Parker scored 18 of 9, with 19 points.
Leonard was 8 of 7, with 17 points and 5 steals.
Danny Green made 5 of 3, 9 points and 4 steals.
Ginobili scored 14 of 4 with 12 points.
With the exception of Ginobili, the Spurs were almost perfect.
With 2 minutes left in the game, the Spurs led 100-95 by 5 points.
With 2 seconds left in the game, the Spurs led 108-106 by 2 points.
Logically speaking, the Lakers are going to explain this game.
Then, at the last moment, Coach D made another move!
Coach D stood up and saluted under the strict guard of the league supervision.
At the last moment, the Lakers replaced Kobe, Roy, McGrady, Ebanks and Reggie Miller.
Just the Lakers lineup!
2 seconds!
In the end, it was actually Ebanks who made the lore again!
And TM's really entered again!
Popovich is numb!
In front of the TV, Kidd was paralyzed.
"Why did Popovich step on a hole twice?"
"It's like this for a person with a heart. He feels that everyone is lying to him. What is false is true, and what is true is false. Coach D has seen through Popovich, and he is very precise."
Mayfair Jackson squinted.
This old boy Popovich must be vomiting blood now, right?
Leading by 2 points in two seconds, they didn't win in the end!
Leading by 12 point at 1 seconds and still having the ball, he didn't win it!
It was supposed to be a 3-0 game, but coach D made it 1-2!
The Lakers actually lead 2 to 1!
In G4 on April 28, the Lakers lost at home.
It was indeed too much consumption for Kobe and Maizi to hit the final lore in two consecutive games.
Clifford, Nash and Ham jointly coached the playoffs.
It's really usable, use it to death!
Especially in the game of G4, Clifford and the others want to win, and Lakers players such as Kobe and Maizi also want to win.
If you can win, a 3-1 lead is really important.
In this game, Kobe even almost played the whole game.
But this effect is not good.
In the fourth quarter, Kobe scored 9 points in 3 of 6 shots.
Kobe had a red eye in the fourth quarter.
In the end, the Lakers lost to the Spurs 89-105 at home.
In the last 2 minutes, the Spurs beat the Lakers 8-0.
G4 on April 30th.
The Lakers went to the Spurs to play Tianwangshan.
In this game, because Kobe and Maizi are really powerless.
The Lakers suffered an away defeat.
93 to 109 lost by more than 10 points again.
But this game is not without good news.
The good news is that both Bryant and Maizi only played two and a half quarters, and the fourth quarter was garbage time.
On May 5, the Lakers' G2 game of life and death.
Before the start of this game, the Spurs who won Tianwangshan had already won the match point of the series.
Therefore, before the start of the game, the whole world is optimistic about the Spurs' G6 promotion.
Kobe and Maizi have indeed contributed everything.
These two Lakers stars really want to drag the Lakers into the second round.
The winner of the second round against the Rockets and Trail Blazers.
As long as they reach the second round, the Lakers will have a chance to breathe!
So after leading the Spurs 2-1, both Kobe and Maizi wanted to pass this round of the series quickly.
But haste makes waste.
The main reason is that the schedule is getting tighter and the competition is getting more and more intense. Clifford and his team are relying more and more on players such as Tracy McGrady and Kobe Bryant.
"The playoffs are getting further and further behind, and the reliance on superstars is getting heavier and heavier. This is understandable. The entire NBA is like this, only Coach D is an exception!"
"So, there is only one coach D in the NBA!"
"Coach D won the only two games for the Lakers in this series, which is enough. The Lakers' journey this season ends here!"
Before the start of G6, TNT's Tiantuan had already sentenced the Lakers to death on the show.
In fact, it's not just the TNT team, even the Lakers fans are desperate to give up.
"May'er, are you really not going to release Coach D?"
Kidd asked curiously.
Mayfair kept saying that she wanted to play Coach D in the finals.
But at the critical moment, he was unwilling to release Coach D.
This...isn't it...
"I'm afraid."
"..."
Kidd looked at Mayfair Jackson in shock.
"I'm eager to beat Coach D, but I'm also afraid of Coach D, Jason, do you understand?"
"..."
"Jason, 14 seconds into the two games. Coach D once touched his right hand with his left hand and saluted once. He won two games for the Lakers. It's you, aren't you afraid?"
"..."
Kidd was dumbfounded at this moment.
"I want to hold Coach D's knife, but now, I find that I can't hold it."
Mayfair Jackson felt much more relaxed after speaking his heart out.
"Coach D who brought the Lakers to die is a good coach D!"
"So, Coach D let Popovich get rid of it."
"I killed Popovich in the finals, it's the same."
Now the Lakers are in a desperate situation.
Many Lakers fans hope that the Knicks can treat the Lakers as a knife, and feel that the Knicks should take back the supervision of the NBA at this time.
However, in the end, these people were disappointed.
The supervision of the NBA still remains in Los Angeles.
"I knew that fate should be in my own hands!"
"Coach D's approach to control his own destiny is too correct!"
"If you lose, you lose. We lost the playoffs this season. We will come back next season. Coach D will bring us back."
The day of the Lakers and Spurs G6 game.
Early in the morning, the Lakers officially announced that Kobe and Tracy McGrady would be absent from the game.
When the official news from the Lakers came out, the entire NBA exploded.
"Sure enough, Kobe and McGrady are not in good health now!!!"
"In the first five games, the average playing time per game exceeded 40 minutes, and the intensity of the game was still so high. This is normal!"
"This notice must have been issued by Coach D, only Coach D in the entire NBA would do such a thing!"
"The executives of other NBA teams want their players to burn themselves out on the court. Only Coach D can protect his players like this!"
In the hotel under the Spurs Tower.
Popovich was also stunned by this amazing announcement from the Lakers.
But after being surprised, Popovich had a smile on his face.
"Mike, I saw despair. The Los Angeles Lakers, Coach D, were driven into the abyss of despair by me!"
After Budenholzer came back to his senses, he nodded numbly.
It is indeed very hopeless.
Aunt Jenny's house.
"The Lakers players want to welcome Coach D back this season, and don't want Coach D to break his promise."
"Coach D would rather be ridiculed than get his players injured."
"It's really touching."
Aunt Jenny had a smile on her face.
Seeing such a smile on Aunt Jenny's face, the assistant next to her also smiled.
Although Aunt Jenny couldn't stop Coach D and Jim's power in the Lakers, she never gave up the chance to make a comeback.
"It's just that this is the NBA, and this is a business field. People like Jim and Coach D shouldn't exist here. They have brought the Lakers down, and in the future, they will bring down the entire league!"
Los Angeles.
Jerry West's house.
Lord Baylor, Jerry West, was about to leave for Staples at this moment.
"I knew that the shame of 40 years is not so easy to wash away. However, Coach D has worked hard. For Coach D and the Lakers, let's send the last journey of this season."
Lord Baylor finished speaking bitterly and with a smile, and Jerry West nodded silently next to him.
He has a hunch that after the Knicks win the championship this season, James will run away.
The next time the Lakers and Knicks have a chance to meet in the Finals, will it be 40 years?
At that time, we were all ashes in the cemetery.
This is the obsession of his life, because of this obsession he chose to fight against Mayfair Jackson to the end, and finally left the Lakers because of this obsession.
"Do you want to die with peace?"
Jerry West looked at the back of Lord Baylor in front of him, and saw the relaxed smile on Lord Baylor's face, and his heart ached.
Elgin's body has not been so good recently...
"Will Kobe and McGrady really be DNP in this game?"
"Before the game, the Lakers officials have sent a message that Bryant has a sore groin and TMC has back spasms. He will definitely miss this game."
Before the game started, the audience in the stands were frantically discussing this matter.
Because of the appearance ceremony before the game, neither Kobe nor McGrady appeared in the warm-up training before the game.
According to NBA rules, the starting lineup must be reported 10 minutes before the game. However, if there is a sudden injury, or if there are players who were not sure that they will be able to play before but are sure to be able to play at the last moment, the team can still make changes to the starting list.
Therefore, the Lakers can still report to change the starting player at the last moment.
"Coach D announced in the morning that McGrady and Kobe were DNP, but in this game, the two were on the playing list, not on the DNP list, but on the playing list, they didn't play, and they didn't even show up in the practice before the game. Where is the person now?"
"Shaq, where do you think Kobe and McGrady are now? Where is Coach D?"
Yes, the game between the Lakers and the Spurs is about to begin.
But there was no coach D on the scene, nor Kobe and Tracy McGrady.
Three people, where are you at this time?
Outside the Lakers locker room.
The supervisor of the alliance was watching those three people from afar.
Coach D!
Kobe!
Maddie!
Looking at the appearance of the three of them at this time, he really felt incredible.
It is unbelievable that under his strict supervision, Coach D was able to bring the Lakers two victories.
If there were no victories in these two games, so many things would not have happened to Kobe and McGrady, and so many things would not have happened to the Lakers, right?
"I don't know, what are the three of them talking about at this time?"
He was curious.
"Kobe, TMC, I allow you to play this game."
"Coach, what we want is a starter!"
"..."
Du Kang frowned and looked at Kobe and McGrady in front of him.
Bryant's groin and legs were red.
Maizi's back is also red.
Starter?
You are ready to play the whole game.
Your game is about to explode.
"I should have told you clearly, right?"
Du Kang still did not let go.
Neither Tracy McGrady nor Kobe gave up.
"Coach, we know your worries, but, can Jordan play in that game? Coach, you said that your favorite game of mine was the 2000 Finals. I played against the Pacers with injuries. Now I'm not hurt yet, am I?"
"..."
"Coach, I don't want you to lose your words because of me. I don't allow you to fail because of me. I want to bring you back this season. This is all my reasons. For this reason, I can use this game as my career." The last match of my career!"
Play this game as the last game of your career...
Du Kang looked at McGrady next to him.
"TMC, what about you, what's your reason?"
"I just want Yao to win the first NBA championship in his career. I have been waiting for 1 years, and now I can't wait for a moment. This season, Yao must win the championship. I can fall down, but coach you, Must come back!"
"..."
Du Kang looked at the two seriously.
"Even if you don't play this game, we still have a chance to win."
"Coach, you said it, you just have a chance to win."
"Coach, I believe what you said, even without us, we still have a chance to win, but I don't want to have a chance, I must win!"
"..."
"I know that there is no game in this world that can be won. Maybe no one can do it except coach you, including Jordan, and we are naturally the same, but!"
Kobe smiled and looked at McGrady.
"But, coach, if I sacrifice these legs, can we win for sure!"
"..."
Du Kang looked at Kobe in shock.
And right now.
"Coach, if I sacrifice my back again, can we win for sure!"
Kobe and McGrady were extremely determined.
Du Kang was so firm that he was shocked.
"Coach, we know you're protecting us."
"However, we also have something we must protect. For this, we can give everything. This is the meaning of our standing on the court!"
After Kobe and McGrady finished talking, Du Kang closed his eyes.
After a while.
Du Kang didn't open his eyes, but...
nodded.
The league supervisor not far away watched Kobe and McGrady trot away excitedly, and was stunned for a moment.
Is it? !
He looked at Du Kang. At this time, Du Kang was still closing his eyes.
Thinking about the expressions of Kobe and McGrady just now.
"Maybe this is the charm of competitive sports..."
When Du Kang opened his eyes again, there was already a smile on his face.
"This eight, I'm sure!"
……
……
goose city.
Durant and the Thunder players are following the game between the Lakers and the Spurs.
"Will Kobe and McGrady not play in this game?"
"After all, it is a matter of course that it is injured."
And right now.
The game is about to start.
There was a sudden exclamation on the TV.
Two figures ran out from the player tunnel.
When seeing these two people.
Durant, Westbrook, and Carter all stood up excitedly.
"Kobe!"
"Maddy!"
"They are walking towards the court!!!"
In this game, Kobe and McGrady not only played, but also started! ! !
The frenzied yelling from the TV told Durant.
The NBA, for this, is crazy!
And Popovich smiled.
"How stupid!"
Today's update is late, the little nephew is home, and the update will resume tomorrow!
(End of this chapter)
On the last day of the NBA regular season, the two games between the Lakers and the Spurs, and the Grizzlies and the Mavericks are simply crazy.
The two games that decided the playoffs in the Western Conference both ended in overtime, and they were both lore in the end.
Ebanks' three-point salute made the whole of Los Angeles boil.
And Conley's two-point free throw lore silenced the entire Dallas.
A season of hard work was ruined like this.
In this Wild West, the Mavs went 50-32 under the leadership of Nowitzki and eventually missed the playoffs.
50 wins!
The first team in NBA history to miss the playoffs with 50 wins!
Who can stand this?
As soon as the game ended, Mavericks owner Mark Cuban rushed to the court to question why the referee gave Conley a chance to foul a free throw.
On the court, the Grizzlies players rushed to Conley frantically to celebrate at the end of the game.
"Mike, you saved our season of hard work!!!"
Conley is also very excited to be surrounded by his teammates.
When he rushed to the basket, his idea was not just to help the Grizzlies, but to help his childhood friend Oden.
So the excited Conley immediately asked about the result of another game.
"How's the Lakers-Spurs game going?"
"Coach D yelled that he wanted to see Ebanks salute, Ebanks made a three-pointer and saluted Coach D!"
What the hell! ! !
Excited Conley was dumbfounded when he heard what coach Jogel said.
Is it so exciting to play?
Coach D's password is too arrogant!
Isn't this the iconic preview lore of Coach D?
Coach D's preview lore not only killed Mayfair Jackson, but also Popovich!
"So, now the entire NBA is crazy!"
The Grizzlies head coach Jogel, who followed the Lakers game all the way, was excited.
This game between the Lakers and the Spurs is so exciting!
The final scene was incredible!
Ebanks saluted the lore Spurs, not only Staples went crazy, but even the entire NBA went crazy.
This is no exaggeration at all.
Coach D's game command is really like magic!
Even if he is strictly guarded by the NBA's supervision, he can still pretend to be such an unbelievable beep!
Ebanks!
This little Ariza!
This player who has no strong offensive ability and is very unstable offensively can stage such a lore at the last moment!
What is this magic that is not Coach D?
No matter what the prospects for the Lakers in the playoffs are.
At the very least, in the regular season, Coach D has mastered his own destiny, as well as the destiny of the Lakers.
Except for the away game against the Rockets, the Knicks released one game.
In these games where Coach D was suspended, at the most critical moment, even if Coach D was suspended, he finally saved himself and the Lakers!
In fact, let alone in the United States, it is in China on the other side of the ocean.
Ebanks' salute lore also collapsed the entire Chinese Internet.
Ahhh, that poor server was crashed again!
Ahhh, the servers in these two seasons have been changed more and more, but no matter how they are changed, they can't stop the impact of Coach Xiao Du and the Lakers.
No way, to a certain extent, the influence of Ebanks' salute lore in China is indeed greater.
In the United States, Ebanks is just an ordinary 3D player, and the star-studded Lakers are not too dazzling.
But in China, the popularity of Ebanks is high, the first supporting role of the NBA's frontline in the CCTV program.
In this way, amidst the hustle and bustle, the NBA regular season is over.
With the intervention of Coach D at the last moment and Ebanks' lore, the Lakers caught up with the last train of the playoffs.
In the end, the Lakers ranked eighth in the Western Conference with a record of 51 wins and 31 losses in a difficult regular season.
The Lakers will face the No. 65 Western Conference Spurs in the first round of the playoffs, with 17 wins and [-] losses.
Both the Spurs and the Thunder have a record of 65 wins and 17 losses, but the Spurs have a better divisional record, so they rank first.
The Thunder, which ranks second in the West, will face the Grizzlies, who are seventh in the West, in the playoffs.
In the regular season of this season, the Spurs and Thunder both achieved 65 wins, and the Warriors also had 62 wins. The record of the three teams came to 60 wins, which also created the history of the Western Conference.
However, the team with the best regular season record this season is not in the West, but the New York Knicks in the East. The New York Knicks have a record of 68 wins and 14 losses this season, ranking first in the league.
The Knicks' F4, this season's performance in the Knicks is very good.
At the end of the regular season, this team's odds of winning the championship are also number one in the league.
The Knicks are now the most promising championship team in the league.
Faced with such optimism, Knicks coach Phil Jackson expressed confidence in the postgame press conference after the final regular-season game against the Heat.
"Thanks to Coach D for the Lakers, and Mr. Jerry Buss. If it weren't for them, my Knicks and I would not have such a brilliant present."
Mayfair is still so forthright.
However, this is still so yin and yang.
Obviously this is mocking Jerry Bass for not treating him as his own and driving away such an excellent person, see now?
Without you Jeri Buss and the Lakers, I, May Jackson, are like a dragon swimming in the ocean!
As for thanking Coach D.
If Coach D hadn't defeated the Heat's Big Three in the Finals last season, he wouldn't have had the opportunity to coach a super team like F4 in the Knicks.
He can have today, of course, thanks to Jerry Buss and Coach D.
When Mayfair Jackson said something like this, he wanted to fight with Coach D.
Back in Los Angeles, he was upset that Coach D kept ignoring him.
Now that he has won the first place in the league, Coach D is only the eighth in the Western Conference. Now he has the advantage, so of course he wants to humiliate and humiliate Coach D!
It just made Mayfair Jackson very uncomfortable.
His verbal battle didn't start at all.
He wants the world's public opinion to criticize Coach D's poor record with the Lakers this season, and wants public opinion to criticize Coach D for ruining the Lakers' championship hopes this season because of his recklessness.
However, the next day, the media across the United States was bragging about Coach D's code word.
"Ebanks, I want to see you salute!"
Seeing such public opinion and reports.
Phil Jackson is so angry.
The words he fired at Coach D were all in the corner.
Not even many newspapers reported it!
what does this mean?
Isn't this ignoring me?
This is not to say that I, May Jackson, are not at the same level as coach D. These troublesome reporters think that he is not worthy of being compared with coach D, not worthy of the popularity of coach D, coach DissD.
groove!
Mayfair Jackson felt like he really broke the defense!
Originally, I wanted to play with Coach D's emotions in the last game.
In the end, Coach D completed the counter-kill, and failed to play with Coach D's emotions.
But now, the glory he got for being number one in the league is not as good as the glory that the eighth D coach in the Western Conference gets!
Everyone has to break the defense.
Mayfair Jackson looked at the pile of newspapers in his hand, really wanted to rub Coach D on the ground!
"In the finals, I must beat Coach D to win the championship!"
"..."
Kidd next to him was speechless. In the last game of the regular season yesterday, Mayfair, didn't you want the Lakers and Coach D to be your swordsmen?
I also want to directly push Coach D out of the playoffs. According to this logic, shouldn't it be expected that Coach D will be eliminated by the Spurs in the first round?
The regular season for the Lakers is over.
As the defending champion, the regular season record is only 51 wins and 31 losses, barely entering the playoffs.
But here in Los Angeles, everyone is very satisfied.
There is no dissatisfaction and discomfort of the eighth in the West.
After coach D was suspended this season for the most severe suspension in the history of the Lakers, the Lakers are really too difficult.
After experiencing the three acting head coaches of Nash, Hamm and Clifford, Lakers fans have put the lowest record requirements for the Lakers this season.
Just make it to the playoffs!
No matter what the number is, as long as you enter the playoffs, don't become the defending champion who can't make the playoffs.
Therefore, after the end of the regular season, whether it was the legendary head magician of the Lakers or Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who was not very willing to show up, they all went on the show one after another, accepted interviews, and relieved pressure for Du Kang and the Lakers.
"This season was tough, we all knew it was tough, but we persevered. I certainly hope that Coach D can really come back, but if Coach D can only come back next season, I won't have any dissatisfaction."
"Coach D has been suspended, but he has proved himself. He is the best head coach in the world. As long as he comes back, the Lakers will be a decisive team!"
"Our expectation for Coach D is not the success or failure of a season, but the glory of an era!"
"Coach D will bring the Lakers the most glorious era!"
It can also be heard from these words that Magician and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar are decompressing Du Kang and the Lakers.
Hope Lakers fans now accept that the Lakers may be eliminated by the Spurs in the first round.
In fact, there is no need to worry about magicians and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
At this time, most Lakers fans actually didn't care about this.
"When Kobe and McGrady played 10 minutes in the final game of the regular season and Ebanks made the tribute game, our season was perfect.
We did not enter the playoffs with the charity of the New York Knicks, and we did not enter the playoffs with the charity of the Spurs. Our destiny is in our own hands, and we accept all our own destiny!
It doesn't matter if they are eliminated in the first round! "
At the end of the regular season, the whole of Los Angeles fell into surprise.
Du Kang naturally felt this emotion.
In fact, it is not just the emotions of fans and celebrities.
Fans and celebrities are preparing to play the series against the Spurs as their last round of the season.
And the Lakers players.
The same thought at this time.
Du Kang's office.
At this time, Maizi and Kezi are all in Du Kang's office.
"Coach, we have no physical problems now, and three days of rest are enough."
After the last game of the regular season against the Spurs, Kezi and Maizi had a physical breakdown.
As far as Kezi and Maizi's physical condition after the last regular season game against the Spurs, they can't make up for it without a week of rest.
Especially Koko.
The way of killing the body to become a god is really too harmful to the body.
Therefore, Du Kang intends to focus on using young players in the first round of the playoffs.
Yao Ming, Roy and Olajuwon led the team's young players to the Spurs.
Play the Spurs for two games first, and then Kezi and Maizi will return.
Du Kang is such a plan.
But Kezi and Maizi objected.
The team's three assistant coaches also objected.
Playing the Spurs focuses on using the team's young players?
This is too scary, okay?
"Du, if you are the one who coaches the team, this kind of strategy will definitely be successful, but I am the one who coaches the team. What you can do, I cannot do."
"Yeah, Du, just like Michael Jordan's draft, the world in his eyes is different from the world in other people's eyes!"
"Coach, this time, I agree with Mr. Clifford and Darwin. To play the Spurs, we can only fight! I know you protect us, but Bryant and TMC are willing to die on the court. You say yes no!"
"..."
What the old man said made Kobe and Maizi dumbfounded.
We did intend to die on the field, but...
Well, now the old monk's painting style is completely wrong, and they don't care about it, after all, this is their comrade-in-arms old monk.
"Coach, I absolutely don't allow myself to be a spectator at this time!"
"If the coach is still in the team, what are you talking about, now you are not in the team, we need to pay more!"
That's what's going on inside the Lakers right now.
Du Kang looked at the pile of yellow spots on Kezi's body and frowned.
In the regular season, he can make Kobe Bryant and Maizi suffer from sudden groin strains.
He doesn't care so much about the outcome of the regular season.
But the playoffs...
Keep doing the groin strain trick and knock Clifford out, and the Lakers are done.
Now Du Kang is indeed in a dilemma.
In fact, Kobe and the others were right.
Du Kang is willing to give them the greatest trust.
But they themselves don't have that much confidence in themselves.
Du Kang believes that it is not so difficult for the Lakers to pass the Spurs now, but the Spurs are indeed the No. 65 team in the Western Conference with [-] wins.
Let Maizi and Kobe rest for two games, or even show a series, and reuse the team's four rookies. This kind of thing is a fantasy in the history of the NBA.
Only coach D has the confidence to do this kind of fantasy.
Others, no one is confident.
If you really have the confidence to do such a thing, then everyone is Coach D, why is there only one Coach D?
"I see, let's do what you want."
Finally, Du Kang said with a smile.
He has a system that can detect the bodies of Kezi and Maizi. As long as there is a red, high risk, he will try to intervene in time.
As for saying that yellow brings injuries, this can only be said to be bad luck.
The first round of the playoffs between the Lakers and the Spurs is definitely the most watched first round of the playoffs in NBA history.
Although most people are more optimistic about the Spurs, but this is the Lakers!
Although the Lakers basically have no possibility of a black eight.
But this is the Lakers!
This team has Kobe, McGrady, Yao Ming, Olajuwon, Roy, and Oden.
How could such a team be an ordinary eighth team in the Western Conference.
On April 4, the NBA playoffs began.
The two games in the Eastern Conference were all upset.
The sixth-ranked Nets defeated the third-ranked Raptors 94-87.
The Eagles, the seventh in the East, defeated the Pacers, the second in the East, 101 to 93.
When the two playoff games in the Eastern Conference started, many NBA fans were taken aback.
At the same time, it also made the Lakers fans quite excited.
The players are superstitious, and so are the fans!
Will something miraculous happen in this season's playoffs?
In the next two games, the Thunder, the No. 100 in the West, defeated the Grizzlies 90-109 at home, and the Warriors, No. 105 in the West, defeated the Clippers [-]-[-], instantly extinguishing the enthusiasm of the Lakers fans.
Even the head coach of the Spurs, Popovich, knows about the ups and downs of the Lakers fans.
Before the first round of G4 between the Lakers and the Spurs on April 20, Popovich joked with a smile.
"I understand the feelings of the Lakers fans, but the West and the East are different. There is only one strong team in the East, the Knicks, while in the West, there are three strong teams. It is very difficult to beat these three teams."
Popovich's words were quickly criticized.
And the person who hates Popovich is either someone else or the current assistant coach of the Lakers, my old man, Na Ran.
"We just defeated the Spurs in the last game of the regular season. Is it difficult to beat the Spurs? Coach D swept Popovich and the Spurs last season. We are not as good as Coach D. We can't sweep the Spurs. We beat the Spurs 4-3, which is reasonable. Bar?"
What the hell!
At the pre-match press conference, Nash's words stunned the reporters on the scene.
Not to mention the reporters on the scene, even Popovich himself was dumbfounded after hearing it.
After recovering from the shock, Budenholzer sighed.
"Without Coach D's life, but with Coach D's disease, Nash deserves his reputation!"
Such an arrogant person is a coach who has led a team and never won an NBA game. Can you believe this?
If it were him, if he couldn't win a game, he would hide as far away as he could, and he could coax as much as he wanted, not like Nash.
"It doesn't matter what Nash says, as long as he doesn't appear on the court, no matter how much he says, it doesn't mean much to us!"
Popovich said himself after recovering.
The Spurs' UCLA air cut is afraid of Nash, and Nash sees through.
Now that Nash is not on the court and Coach D is suspended again, what can the Lakers use to fight the Spurs?
On April 4, the first game of the Spurs and Lakers series, the Spurs played against the Lakers at home.
Just like Popovich thought.
Even if the Spurs players were not in good condition in this game, although UCLA's air-cut tactics were played, the outside feel was not good, and they only scored 95 points.
But in the end, the Spurs beat the Lakers 95-90 at home.
In this game, Duncan made 20 of 12 shots and scored a game-high 27 points.
Corvo, Maizi, Olajuwon, Roy, Olajuwon, Yao Ming, the overall state of this game is not good.
Except for Duncan, the two teams' star players have never shot more than 50%.
With such a Spurs, the Lakers can't win.
What can the Lakers do to beat the Spurs?
The Spurs players were in poor condition, and they didn't make any shots in their tactics. Not only was Popovich not unhappy, but he was very happy.
Then, something that sickened Popovich happened.
After the game, Nash once again came out and disgusted the Spurs.
"You all say that the Spurs are No. [-] in the West, and the Lakers are No. [-] in the West. In this game, do you feel that this is No. [-] in the West and No. [-] in the West?
We did lose this game, but I feel that we are not the eighth in the West, we are the second in the West!
In the next game, if we get back to our offensive form, we can beat the Spurs! "
On April 4, after a three-day break, Game 23 of the series began.
The first game was played on April 4, and the second game was played on April 20.
Such a schedule is very friendly to the Lakers.
It is equivalent to playing the game on April 7 in 4 days.
So when G2 started, the Lakers players who were in poor condition in G1 took off in place.
科子全场20投8中,三分球10中4,砍了26分。
麦子全场10中8,三分球4中2,砍了20分。
姚明全场17中7,罚球2中2,砍了16分。
Roy made 14 of 7 and scored 18 points.
Olajuwon made 9 of 7 shots and scored 16 points.
In this game, the Spurs also played an offensive state, shooting more than 50% from the field and three-pointers.
but……
Maizi was amazing at the critical moment, one-on-one defensively stealing Ginobili and completing a layup lore.
In the end, the Lakers defeated the Spurs 113 to 112.
这场比赛吉诺比利12中9,三分球6中5,罚球7中4,砍了全场最高的27分还有6次失误。
Especially the mistake at the last moment made Popovich yell directly from the sidelines.
Maizi's steal and layup lore really broke Popovich's defense.
At that time, the whole world thought that the Lakers would adopt foul tactics.
There are only 12 seconds left, 1 point behind, and the Spurs have the ball. This is definitely a foul tactic!
So, why did the Lakers make such a choice?
After the game, when Maizi was asked this question, his answer shocked the audience.
"The big screen of the Spurs played the picture of Coach D at the last moment. I saw the coach's instructions. He touched the back of his left hand with his right hand, which meant that I was asked to defend the steal. Finally, as you can see, I made a steal with my right hand. Ginobili's left-handed dribble."
What the hell!
Maizi's words directly broke the defenses of the reporters from the holy city.
It also made all the other reporters on the scene laugh out loud.
Coach D didn't even have a seat ticket for this game, only a standing ticket in the last row.
It is actually obvious that the Spurs do this, they just don't want Coach D to be of any help to the Lakers.
It was the same in the last game.
This is the Spurs' home court, how could it be possible for Coach D to show off!
At the last moment, leading by 1 point, the ball is still in his hands. Everyone thinks that his side has a high probability of winning, right?
So the on-site broadcast camera also showed off Coach D for the first time. If you want to see Coach D's sentient beings, is there anything wrong with that?
In the NBA, when the game is about to end, it is normal to watch the sentient beings of the losing game.
It's just, who the hell would have thought that Coach D could command the team while being watched by all beings, and he succeeded!
After Maizi revealed his lore secret in the post-match interview, Popovich became paralyzed.
Does this work?
And TNT's three celestial group commentators laughed like crazy in the subsequent programs.
"Hahahaha, don't play critical moments with the Lakers, otherwise even if Coach D is in the stands, the opponent will pay the price!"
"The Spurs and Popovich apparently forgot that the last time they were killed, Coach D was also in the stands, hahahaha..."
"Popovich won Clifford the whole game, and finally lost to Coach D's 12 seconds, hahahaha..."
The Lakers actually played 1-1 with the Spurs in the two home games of the Spurs. This is something that many people did not expect.
On April 4, after another three days of rest.
The Lakers returned home, and G3 faced the away Spurs.
In this game, the Spurs once again played very well.
The Spurs, who were beaten by the Lakers in the last game and held back for three days, played very fiercely in this game.
Duncan scored 14 of 8 and scored 22 points.
Parker scored 18 of 9, with 19 points.
Leonard was 8 of 7, with 17 points and 5 steals.
Danny Green made 5 of 3, 9 points and 4 steals.
Ginobili scored 14 of 4 with 12 points.
With the exception of Ginobili, the Spurs were almost perfect.
With 2 minutes left in the game, the Spurs led 100-95 by 5 points.
With 2 seconds left in the game, the Spurs led 108-106 by 2 points.
Logically speaking, the Lakers are going to explain this game.
Then, at the last moment, Coach D made another move!
Coach D stood up and saluted under the strict guard of the league supervision.
At the last moment, the Lakers replaced Kobe, Roy, McGrady, Ebanks and Reggie Miller.
Just the Lakers lineup!
2 seconds!
In the end, it was actually Ebanks who made the lore again!
And TM's really entered again!
Popovich is numb!
In front of the TV, Kidd was paralyzed.
"Why did Popovich step on a hole twice?"
"It's like this for a person with a heart. He feels that everyone is lying to him. What is false is true, and what is true is false. Coach D has seen through Popovich, and he is very precise."
Mayfair Jackson squinted.
This old boy Popovich must be vomiting blood now, right?
Leading by 2 points in two seconds, they didn't win in the end!
Leading by 12 point at 1 seconds and still having the ball, he didn't win it!
It was supposed to be a 3-0 game, but coach D made it 1-2!
The Lakers actually lead 2 to 1!
In G4 on April 28, the Lakers lost at home.
It was indeed too much consumption for Kobe and Maizi to hit the final lore in two consecutive games.
Clifford, Nash and Ham jointly coached the playoffs.
It's really usable, use it to death!
Especially in the game of G4, Clifford and the others want to win, and Lakers players such as Kobe and Maizi also want to win.
If you can win, a 3-1 lead is really important.
In this game, Kobe even almost played the whole game.
But this effect is not good.
In the fourth quarter, Kobe scored 9 points in 3 of 6 shots.
Kobe had a red eye in the fourth quarter.
In the end, the Lakers lost to the Spurs 89-105 at home.
In the last 2 minutes, the Spurs beat the Lakers 8-0.
G4 on April 30th.
The Lakers went to the Spurs to play Tianwangshan.
In this game, because Kobe and Maizi are really powerless.
The Lakers suffered an away defeat.
93 to 109 lost by more than 10 points again.
But this game is not without good news.
The good news is that both Bryant and Maizi only played two and a half quarters, and the fourth quarter was garbage time.
On May 5, the Lakers' G2 game of life and death.
Before the start of this game, the Spurs who won Tianwangshan had already won the match point of the series.
Therefore, before the start of the game, the whole world is optimistic about the Spurs' G6 promotion.
Kobe and Maizi have indeed contributed everything.
These two Lakers stars really want to drag the Lakers into the second round.
The winner of the second round against the Rockets and Trail Blazers.
As long as they reach the second round, the Lakers will have a chance to breathe!
So after leading the Spurs 2-1, both Kobe and Maizi wanted to pass this round of the series quickly.
But haste makes waste.
The main reason is that the schedule is getting tighter and the competition is getting more and more intense. Clifford and his team are relying more and more on players such as Tracy McGrady and Kobe Bryant.
"The playoffs are getting further and further behind, and the reliance on superstars is getting heavier and heavier. This is understandable. The entire NBA is like this, only Coach D is an exception!"
"So, there is only one coach D in the NBA!"
"Coach D won the only two games for the Lakers in this series, which is enough. The Lakers' journey this season ends here!"
Before the start of G6, TNT's Tiantuan had already sentenced the Lakers to death on the show.
In fact, it's not just the TNT team, even the Lakers fans are desperate to give up.
"May'er, are you really not going to release Coach D?"
Kidd asked curiously.
Mayfair kept saying that she wanted to play Coach D in the finals.
But at the critical moment, he was unwilling to release Coach D.
This...isn't it...
"I'm afraid."
"..."
Kidd looked at Mayfair Jackson in shock.
"I'm eager to beat Coach D, but I'm also afraid of Coach D, Jason, do you understand?"
"..."
"Jason, 14 seconds into the two games. Coach D once touched his right hand with his left hand and saluted once. He won two games for the Lakers. It's you, aren't you afraid?"
"..."
Kidd was dumbfounded at this moment.
"I want to hold Coach D's knife, but now, I find that I can't hold it."
Mayfair Jackson felt much more relaxed after speaking his heart out.
"Coach D who brought the Lakers to die is a good coach D!"
"So, Coach D let Popovich get rid of it."
"I killed Popovich in the finals, it's the same."
Now the Lakers are in a desperate situation.
Many Lakers fans hope that the Knicks can treat the Lakers as a knife, and feel that the Knicks should take back the supervision of the NBA at this time.
However, in the end, these people were disappointed.
The supervision of the NBA still remains in Los Angeles.
"I knew that fate should be in my own hands!"
"Coach D's approach to control his own destiny is too correct!"
"If you lose, you lose. We lost the playoffs this season. We will come back next season. Coach D will bring us back."
The day of the Lakers and Spurs G6 game.
Early in the morning, the Lakers officially announced that Kobe and Tracy McGrady would be absent from the game.
When the official news from the Lakers came out, the entire NBA exploded.
"Sure enough, Kobe and McGrady are not in good health now!!!"
"In the first five games, the average playing time per game exceeded 40 minutes, and the intensity of the game was still so high. This is normal!"
"This notice must have been issued by Coach D, only Coach D in the entire NBA would do such a thing!"
"The executives of other NBA teams want their players to burn themselves out on the court. Only Coach D can protect his players like this!"
In the hotel under the Spurs Tower.
Popovich was also stunned by this amazing announcement from the Lakers.
But after being surprised, Popovich had a smile on his face.
"Mike, I saw despair. The Los Angeles Lakers, Coach D, were driven into the abyss of despair by me!"
After Budenholzer came back to his senses, he nodded numbly.
It is indeed very hopeless.
Aunt Jenny's house.
"The Lakers players want to welcome Coach D back this season, and don't want Coach D to break his promise."
"Coach D would rather be ridiculed than get his players injured."
"It's really touching."
Aunt Jenny had a smile on her face.
Seeing such a smile on Aunt Jenny's face, the assistant next to her also smiled.
Although Aunt Jenny couldn't stop Coach D and Jim's power in the Lakers, she never gave up the chance to make a comeback.
"It's just that this is the NBA, and this is a business field. People like Jim and Coach D shouldn't exist here. They have brought the Lakers down, and in the future, they will bring down the entire league!"
Los Angeles.
Jerry West's house.
Lord Baylor, Jerry West, was about to leave for Staples at this moment.
"I knew that the shame of 40 years is not so easy to wash away. However, Coach D has worked hard. For Coach D and the Lakers, let's send the last journey of this season."
Lord Baylor finished speaking bitterly and with a smile, and Jerry West nodded silently next to him.
He has a hunch that after the Knicks win the championship this season, James will run away.
The next time the Lakers and Knicks have a chance to meet in the Finals, will it be 40 years?
At that time, we were all ashes in the cemetery.
This is the obsession of his life, because of this obsession he chose to fight against Mayfair Jackson to the end, and finally left the Lakers because of this obsession.
"Do you want to die with peace?"
Jerry West looked at the back of Lord Baylor in front of him, and saw the relaxed smile on Lord Baylor's face, and his heart ached.
Elgin's body has not been so good recently...
"Will Kobe and McGrady really be DNP in this game?"
"Before the game, the Lakers officials have sent a message that Bryant has a sore groin and TMC has back spasms. He will definitely miss this game."
Before the game started, the audience in the stands were frantically discussing this matter.
Because of the appearance ceremony before the game, neither Kobe nor McGrady appeared in the warm-up training before the game.
According to NBA rules, the starting lineup must be reported 10 minutes before the game. However, if there is a sudden injury, or if there are players who were not sure that they will be able to play before but are sure to be able to play at the last moment, the team can still make changes to the starting list.
Therefore, the Lakers can still report to change the starting player at the last moment.
"Coach D announced in the morning that McGrady and Kobe were DNP, but in this game, the two were on the playing list, not on the DNP list, but on the playing list, they didn't play, and they didn't even show up in the practice before the game. Where is the person now?"
"Shaq, where do you think Kobe and McGrady are now? Where is Coach D?"
Yes, the game between the Lakers and the Spurs is about to begin.
But there was no coach D on the scene, nor Kobe and Tracy McGrady.
Three people, where are you at this time?
Outside the Lakers locker room.
The supervisor of the alliance was watching those three people from afar.
Coach D!
Kobe!
Maddie!
Looking at the appearance of the three of them at this time, he really felt incredible.
It is unbelievable that under his strict supervision, Coach D was able to bring the Lakers two victories.
If there were no victories in these two games, so many things would not have happened to Kobe and McGrady, and so many things would not have happened to the Lakers, right?
"I don't know, what are the three of them talking about at this time?"
He was curious.
"Kobe, TMC, I allow you to play this game."
"Coach, what we want is a starter!"
"..."
Du Kang frowned and looked at Kobe and McGrady in front of him.
Bryant's groin and legs were red.
Maizi's back is also red.
Starter?
You are ready to play the whole game.
Your game is about to explode.
"I should have told you clearly, right?"
Du Kang still did not let go.
Neither Tracy McGrady nor Kobe gave up.
"Coach, we know your worries, but, can Jordan play in that game? Coach, you said that your favorite game of mine was the 2000 Finals. I played against the Pacers with injuries. Now I'm not hurt yet, am I?"
"..."
"Coach, I don't want you to lose your words because of me. I don't allow you to fail because of me. I want to bring you back this season. This is all my reasons. For this reason, I can use this game as my career." The last match of my career!"
Play this game as the last game of your career...
Du Kang looked at McGrady next to him.
"TMC, what about you, what's your reason?"
"I just want Yao to win the first NBA championship in his career. I have been waiting for 1 years, and now I can't wait for a moment. This season, Yao must win the championship. I can fall down, but coach you, Must come back!"
"..."
Du Kang looked at the two seriously.
"Even if you don't play this game, we still have a chance to win."
"Coach, you said it, you just have a chance to win."
"Coach, I believe what you said, even without us, we still have a chance to win, but I don't want to have a chance, I must win!"
"..."
"I know that there is no game in this world that can be won. Maybe no one can do it except coach you, including Jordan, and we are naturally the same, but!"
Kobe smiled and looked at McGrady.
"But, coach, if I sacrifice these legs, can we win for sure!"
"..."
Du Kang looked at Kobe in shock.
And right now.
"Coach, if I sacrifice my back again, can we win for sure!"
Kobe and McGrady were extremely determined.
Du Kang was so firm that he was shocked.
"Coach, we know you're protecting us."
"However, we also have something we must protect. For this, we can give everything. This is the meaning of our standing on the court!"
After Kobe and McGrady finished talking, Du Kang closed his eyes.
After a while.
Du Kang didn't open his eyes, but...
nodded.
The league supervisor not far away watched Kobe and McGrady trot away excitedly, and was stunned for a moment.
Is it? !
He looked at Du Kang. At this time, Du Kang was still closing his eyes.
Thinking about the expressions of Kobe and McGrady just now.
"Maybe this is the charm of competitive sports..."
When Du Kang opened his eyes again, there was already a smile on his face.
"This eight, I'm sure!"
……
……
goose city.
Durant and the Thunder players are following the game between the Lakers and the Spurs.
"Will Kobe and McGrady not play in this game?"
"After all, it is a matter of course that it is injured."
And right now.
The game is about to start.
There was a sudden exclamation on the TV.
Two figures ran out from the player tunnel.
When seeing these two people.
Durant, Westbrook, and Carter all stood up excitedly.
"Kobe!"
"Maddy!"
"They are walking towards the court!!!"
In this game, Kobe and McGrady not only played, but also started! ! !
The frenzied yelling from the TV told Durant.
The NBA, for this, is crazy!
And Popovich smiled.
"How stupid!"
Today's update is late, the little nephew is home, and the update will resume tomorrow!
