Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 357: Bobo, watch out, Coach D has launched Wushuang!
Popovich is testing Dukan’s sincerity.

Popovich didn't believe that anyone could do what Du Kang said, completely handing over his team to an opponent who had just been defeated by him!
No normal person would be able to do such a shocking thing!
Go to the gambling table with your opponents and hand over the fruits of victory to others. What a great heart!

Popovich, who has been a rival with Du Kang for three years, in Popovich's mind, Du Kang is the worst and worst person. This kid is so bad that he is bleeding!
How could such a person be so great?
Not to mention Popovich, even anyone without God's perspective cannot believe this is true.

Therefore, after leading the Lakers to lose a game at home, Popovich waited for Du Kang to take action, but Du Kang did not take action.

He lost the second game at home, and he lost this game on purpose.

Du Kang finally came and left him behind.

Originally, Popovich thought that this time, he could finally reveal the true face of Coach D's hypocrisy and use his own conspiracy.

Unexpectedly, what I was waiting for was actually this!
Coach D just said that in the next game, he can even lose on purpose like this.

Even in this series, he can do whatever he wants. Even if he is swept by the Mavericks 4-0, he is willing to bear the consequences!

Being swept 4-0, as long as Popovich doesn't take a shot, of course only Du Kang will take the blame now.

Knowing that Popovich is undercover and the head coach of the Spurs, he still trusts Popovich so much and gives the team to Popovich. This is Du Kang's problem.

Therefore, Du Kang really made Nash and the others very confused this time.

Something went wrong, and it is his own responsibility. If the Lakers really succeed, then most of the credit really belongs to Popovich!
Even if you say Popovich is a real Laker, he is still a fake Laker. Why does Coach D still do this?

Do not understand!
Nash and the others didn't understand it at all.

Now Popovich naturally doesn't understand either.

"why?"

Popovich's eyes widened and he looked into Du Kang's eyes with shock on his face.

Popovich wanted to see some hypocrisy in Du Kang's eyes, but it was all sincerity.

"It's very simple. You are no longer the head coach of the Spurs, and you are no longer my opponent. Bobo, you are now the chief assistant coach of the Lakers. On the first day you joined the Lakers, you were already a real Laker. "

"..."

Looking at Popovich, who was even more shocked at this time, Du Kang smiled.

"Many people say that I have absolute trust in my players. If I don't trust my players, then they will definitely no longer be my players. Since they are still my players, of course I have 100% trust. This is true for Pierce, Garnett, and Barkley. In fact, the same is true for the team's coaches."

Du Kang looked at Popovich seriously.

"Bobo, don't forget, you came to the Lakers only after I agreed. Since I am willing to invite you to the Lakers, I naturally believe in you 100%. So, for me, the Lakers are my team. Likewise, It is also your team, the Lakers, it is the team of all Lakers, Kobe, Tracy McGrady, Yao Ming, Kanan, Nash, and I. We may have different identities, with superstars, coaches, and role players, but we are all Lakers. So, the Lakers belong to all of us.

And you...

Bobo, you are also a Laker now, and the Lakers belong to you too. "

"..."

Popovich once again became more shocked,

"Is it difficult to accept? But this is indeed what it is all about, and this is why every time the Lakers are desperate and at a critical moment, someone can stand up to save the team, because we are all fighting for our team. , we are not fighting for Coach D, we are not fighting for Kobe, Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming, we are fighting for ourselves!"

This sentence is absolutely shocking to Popovich.

Because his purpose of coming to the Lakers this time was to find the secret of Coach D, the real secret, the real secret of why Coach D is so powerful and so despairing.

And Coach D’s frank conversation with him just now seemed to let him see Coach D’s real secret, the real reason for his strength!
He originally thought that Coach D knew the purpose of his visit and would be secretive.

He didn't believe that with Coach D's IQ, he wouldn't know why he came here.

The reason why he still comes even though he knows that Coach D knows the reason why he is here is because he thinks he is smart enough, and Coach D will definitely reveal his secret in the face of the current situation of suppression by the forces behind the league. response.

At that time, with his intelligence, he could naturally see the real secret of Coach D and truly understand Coach D.

He is ready to stay undercover with Coach D for a long time in the Lakers.

There is no secret found in the playoffs this season, and he will continue to stay with the Lakers next season.

Because, he has one year, and his bet with Coach D is for one year. Coach D invited him over. It is easy to invite God, but it is difficult to send him away. He has lost such a big face and came to work as an assistant coach for Jenny Bass. , if he can't really find what he wants, it's impossible for him to leave.

Regardless of whether he endured the humiliation or otherwise, anyway, he was ready to be humiliated by Coach D and take the blame for Coach D.

but!

He really never thought that Coach D would share his secret with him so generously!

"Because I'm a Laker..."

Even if I'm an undercover agent, can I still be trusted because I'm a Laker?

For someone like Popovich, it’s really hard for him to imagine that something like this could really happen.

Just like the water that has always been in the ink, it is hard to believe that the water is not black, but colorless. When it is close to vermilion, it is red and when it is close to ink, it is black.

Bobo is like this, his heart is black, and in his heart, Coach D, is also black, darker than him.

As for whether what Coach D just said was a real secret, he never doubted it.

Because, this sentence is the reason for the internal strife in his Spurs!

His Spurs, this season, the whole world can see, they are fighting for him and for Duncan.

Because it's not for yourself.

Therefore, even a prince like Leonard finally gave up.

People will only fight for themselves when they are fighting for themselves!

This is definitely the simplest and most shocking truth!
Only now does he know why he has been losing for the past three years!
Only now did he know why in the past three years, Coach D's players, whether they were veterans or young people, had sprung up like bamboo shoots one by one.

Because everyone on the Lakers is fighting for themselves!

In the Lakers, the Lakers belong to all Lakers players. Even Coach D, Kobe Bryant, Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming have no special privileges. They are just ordinary members of the Lakers. The Lakers belong to them and everyone else!

Coach D could be above everyone, but he didn't do that. He chose to be with everyone.

And what about him?
With the Spurs, he was above everyone else.

Because that's what his teacher is like.

His teacher was even more extreme than him.

Larry Brown demands that he be above everyone on the team, but players can be equal. A superstar like Iverson cannot have special privileges. It is best for everyone to be equal.

The final result of this philosophy is that the players belong to the coach and the team also belongs to the coach.

If the players respect the coach, then they will be very effective and united.

However, if the players are unwilling to respect the coach and are unwilling to be so humble and just a tool, then internal strife is the only future for such a team.

His teacher, Larry Brown, had been mired in internal strife his entire career.

Success is real success.

However, civil strife is also real civil strife.

And what about him?
If Duncan were a star like Iverson.The Spurs will never wait until Leonard appears before they start fighting among themselves.

He was lucky that he met Duncan and not Iverson.

Because of Duncan.

This was before Coach D appeared. For a coach like him, there was no problem of internal strife. The entire philosophical system was almost full of advantages and could be said to be the best at mobilizing the team's combat effectiveness.

However, when Coach D appeared, Coach D's philosophy was a dimensionality reduction blow to him.

And because the players of the generation of Duncan and GDP are aging, and the new generation of players are each full of personality, his coaching philosophy is about to become outdated...

Yes, now, after thinking about the shocking words of Coach D just now, Popovich discovered that the coaching philosophy he has always been proud of is about to become outdated!

No, as Duncan and GDP age, it should be said that they are outdated! ! !

If he hadn't come to the Lakers, if Coach D hadn't pointed it out just now, he wouldn't even know that his coaching philosophy was outdated!

This almost sent shivers down Popovich's spine!
There was even cold sweat on the face at that moment!
If this isn’t Coach D’s core secret, then what is! ! !
Do you really think that Popovich is such a novice who can be easily deceived?
"Bobo, I have never been a white lotus flower, and I have never thought of people as innocent and beautiful. Is this world dark? Or white? I am not a philosopher. I don't know the nature of the world. I can All we can do is believe in human instinct, and the most instinctive thing for a person is to pursue oneself. If my interests represent the interests of everyone, then what does it matter whether he is an undercover agent or not?"

"Besides, Pop, I think you should also know that when Dwyane first came to the Lakers, he came with LeBron James' undercover mission, right?"

After Du Kang finished speaking, Popovich nodded slowly.

The whole world knows this, it is no longer a secret.

Wade came to the Lakers with James' undercover secret.

Unexpectedly, in the end, Wade actually stole the MVP from James, which made James directly angry.

And this has become one of the most talked about memes in the NBA now.

"I have always trusted Wade since he came to the Lakers, and Pop, what can't I trust?"

"..."

So convincing.

Even though he instinctively resisted Coach D, he had to admit that every word Coach D said was so convincing.

"So, Bobo, for me, it is unnecessary for you to test me in the first two games. In my opinion, this is making it more difficult for yourself. If you are confident enough, it is okay to feel that you are behind 0 to 3." It doesn't matter, then you can do the same in the next game. I don't care at all. When I handed the team over to you, I said that now, you are the commander of this team, and not me.

You control this team!
and……"

Ok?
and?

Popovich looked at Du Kang unexpectedly.

"Furthermore, I don't exclude you from coming to the Lakers to look for treasures. The Lakers' treasures are everyone's treasures. I am very happy that the entire NBA is a treasure land full of treasures, not a filthy place that hides filth and evil. It is precisely because of this that I dare to fight against the atmosphere of the entire alliance alone.

Therefore, I am very happy that my philosophy can attract such a great and excellent person as Bobo.

This does not make me jealous or afraid.

This only makes me feel that I am not alone!

Therefore, I am really happy that Bobo can come to the Lakers, very happy! "

"..."

What is the pattern?

Popovich even feels his hands shaking now.

And almost at the same time.

"Ding, your chief assistant coach Popovich's favorable opinion of you has been adjusted to 89, please check it."

Oh open!

Du Kang was very excited and excited.
-
From 100 to 89, it took less than a week!

This sense of accomplishment, just like playing Galgame, made Du Kang very happy.

All I can say is that Bobo and Corvo are really the same kind of people!
How can love and hate be so clear sometimes?

"Pop, I have always felt that you are the most understanding coach in the history of the NBA. You can learn more than his defense from Larry Brown, and you can also learn his offensive essence from Mr. Nelson. Even With the help of video books, I can learn UCLA air cuts that are better than me. I believe that you will definitely get what you want in the Lakers, because it is not complicated. It is better than learning Larry Brown, Mr. Nelson, UCLA Air cutting is much easier.”

"So, Pop, let me witness with my own eyes the caliber of the most savvy head coach in the history of basketball!

Let me see what the best coach in NBA history looks like when he combines the best of four teams with the strongest hard power!

Let the world see that the Lakers are not the place of shame for Gregg Popovich, but the place of true enlightenment! "

Almost the moment Du Kang finished speaking.

"Ding, your chief assistant coach Popovich's favorable opinion of you has been adjusted to 90, please check it!"

Heartbroken!
Popovich didn’t want to admit that he was excited!
However, he was indeed moved!

However, being so impressed by the charm of Coach D, he really didn't know how to face the fans in his hometown and Budenholzer, Buford and other people who were looking forward to him.

Therefore, although he had accepted it in his heart, but thinking of the guilt he felt towards Spurs fans, Buford, Budenholzer and others, Popovich still subconsciously said something that did not mean what he said.

"Coach D, you seem to have confirmed that I will coach the next game?"

However, what Popovich didn't expect was Du Kang's answer.

"No, Pop, you are wrong. I actually hope you give up the next game and give Wade, Kevin and Pierce more rest to play against the Spurs. They are too tired."

"..."

"Besides, Pop, I also want to see once again what an incredible feat it is to be behind 0-3 and play 4 consecutive games. This is also the best way for Pop to get recognized by the Lakers as quickly as possible."

"..."

Popovich was dumbfounded.

He thought he had made Coach D angry by losing two games in a row at home.

Not only did Coach D not have any anger, he actually said such words.

Expect him to lose three games in a row at the best start!

This Nima's!

Go crazy! ! !
"Bobo, I dare to think, do you dare to do it?"

Look at the extremely excited and crazy look on Du Kang's face.

At that moment, Popovich almost blurted out...

Dare to NM! ! ! !

I'm not as strong as you, okay? ! ! !
"Ding, your chief assistant coach Popovich's favorable opinion of you has been adjusted to 91, please check it."
