Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 49 I'm not here for revenge tonight!
Staples Arena, Los Angeles, 10:[-] p.m.

The players of the Lakers and Thunder have already been warming up on the court at this time, and the game will start soon.

The two teams were very friendly before the game.

Facing Thunder superstar Westbrook who has been under a lot of pressure recently, Kobe said that he is one of the most energetic players on the planet. He doesn't need to listen to anyone, and he can get everything by being himself.

At the same time, in the face of Du Kang, the Lakers rookie head coach who has attracted much attention, the Thunder head coach Scott Brooks, who was the representative of the former young coaches in the NBA, also gave a very high evaluation.

It means that Du Kang now has all the conditions to become a famous NBA coach, and what is lacking is only time.

In short, in such a good atmosphere before the game, the players of the two teams also interacted constantly when warming up on the court.

On the training ground, Durant did not warm up with other Thunder players, but talked and laughed with Kobe.

As for Westbrook, Westbrook, who made Du Kang's mind full of turtles...

At this time, he was poking out his stubborn little mouth and banging on the iron.

Looking at this stubborn superstar, Du Kang wondered if there would be turtles in his quilt when he was sleeping tonight.

To be reasonable, he has simulated a lot of games, and he has also encountered super giant opponents like James and Wade.

But to say that his most nervous, adrenaline-ridden, and unreasonable opponent is his UCLA senior.

For the past eight hours of simulation, Westbrook was going to drive him crazy.

Many Thunder fans said that Westbrook can drive their fans crazy.

In Du Kang's view, he can also make opponent fans crazy! !
Du Kang looked away from Westbrook, and then looked at the Lakers' own players on the court.

Kobe, Artest, Pau Gasol, Howard, Jordan Hill, Clarkson, Chris Duhon, Blake, Meeks...

Except for Nash who has been protected by him, all of them have been ravaged by the turtle.

The Lakers he built were really just a little bit short, and they were completely worn out by Westbrook alone!
"Du, are you okay?"

Seeing Du Kang's dazed look at this moment, Ham was a little worried.

Is it because tonight's game is too late?

Why do you feel that Du is a bit hypocritical?
"Darwin, I'm not here tonight to take revenge!"

"..."

After Du Kang gritted his teeth, he walked back to his coach's bench from the sidelines.

And Ham, who was behind him, looked at Du Kang's back and trembled.

Didn't I come to take revenge tonight?
Fake, with Du's personality, is there any difference between this and directly saying that he is here tonight to avenge his revenge?

In other words, who offended him?

Full of doubts, Ham followed.

At this time, the warm-ups of the players on both sides of the field were over, and they all came down from the field to make final preparations for the game.

How the Lakers will play this game, Du Kang has explained in the locker room.

With Du Kang's current prestige in the Lakers, no one dares to question his decision in the game.

Including Kobe.

So, facing the Lakers players surrounding him, Du Kang sat in his seat calmly.

It was Clifford who gave the final tactical guidance to the Lakers players.

Well, Du Kang's instructions in the locker room are relatively macro, and Clifford needs specific and meticulous arrangements.

For example, in this game, Nash was the main attacker, Nash was allowed to run more off the ball, and the Lakers players mostly provided cover and support for Nash who was running off the ball.

So how does Nash run, from the inside out or from the sideline, the bottom line, and how to turn back.

How did the Lakers players support and screen for Nash, and which formation to choose for support and screen?
The last thing is, how to pass the ball to Nash, is it waiting for Nash to run out of the open space or is it possible to pass the ball after Nash gets rid of the defense?

In short, it is just a tactical guidance to allow Nash to attack and let Nash run more off the ball, which requires a lot of subdivided tactics to match.

Before getting Clifford's help, Du Kang's arrangements were all swallowed up, relying on the Lakers players' own comprehension and technical and tactical capabilities.

Fortunately, the Lakers players are all veterans, so they can really understand Du Kang's intentions.

If the Lakers are a team dominated by young players, I am afraid that even if Du Kang can simulate victory, he will not be able to accurately convey the simulated tactical arrangements and various designs.

At that time, there may be a butterfly effect in the game, and the game that originally simulated victory will be lost.

Seeing the eloquent Clifford at this time, Du Kang was very satisfied.

From today, Clifford is four-fifths of his Zhuge Liang.

Well, an upgrade from three-quarters to four-fifths.

Make persistent efforts, the next upgrade goal is five out of six.

So, Steve, come on, try to upgrade to 100% Crouching Dragon one day!

After drawing the tactics while eloquently explaining the Lakers' tactics tonight, Clifford looked at Du Kang, who was sitting there with his hands folded and his face calm, with a hesitant look on his face.

In fact, it's not just him, even the Lakers players are hesitant at this time.

Recalling Du Kang's anomaly just now, Hamm even wondered if Du Kang had lost his head tonight.

"Du, really let Steve face Westbrook tonight, let Bryant defend KD alone?"

Let alone the offensive tactics deployed by Du Kang in this game, let's talk about defensive tactics.

Nash defends Westbrook, can Nash defend?
Kobe defended against Durant alone and also played point guard, so should Kobe's offense still be needed?
In short, in Clifford's view, Du Kang's arrangement was very amateurish, but no professional NBA head coach would mess around like this in this game.

Hearing Clifford's question, Du Kang smiled, and instead of directly answering Clifford's question, he looked at Nash and Kobe.

"Steve, Bryant, what do you think?"

Nash and Kobe were already excited.

In the locker room, when Du Kang arranged tactics like this, the two were already excited.

Nash was very moved that Du Kang trusted his defense and let him defend Westbrook alone.

In this world, perhaps only the coach is willing to give him such a high level of defensive trust.

As for Kobe, he actually wanted to have a one-on-one with Durant on the court for a long time.

James is his biggest rival.

Durant is his favorite young player.

In the last game, he singled out James, a competitor in the media heads-up list, so if he kills Durant, a competitor in the heads-up list in this game, then he must be recognized as the number one in heads-up in active service, right?

The victory against James in the last game made Kobe very excited now.

"Coach, I will work hard in this game!"

"I will never let KD score 30 points in this game!"

Du Kang nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Clifford.

"Steve, look, Bryant and the others are very confident."

"..."

Clifford wanted to say something for a while, but he didn't know how to speak, but at this moment, Howard pulled him up next to him.

"Steve, you idiot, the coach of this game is obviously trying to embarrass Kobe, why are you meddling!"

"..."

Howard looked at Du Kang excitedly, because he didn't take off the golden wristband on Du Kang's hand, and he didn't intend to give it to anyone.

In other words, Kobe has no artifact bonus in this game.

Kobe, who has no artifact bonus, what can he use to fight Durant?
A month ago, the old guy was puked up by Durant on both ends of the floor.

If the coach hadn't been aggressive by the Heat reporter, and finally didn't want to be ashamed and lent Kobe the artifact, Kobe would have been ashamed in the last game against James!

After grabbing Clifford, Howard listened excitedly and attentively to Du Kang's final arrangement.

"As for the team's overall defense, you don't have to worry about the three-point line. The Thunder can do whatever they want outside the three-point line. Dwight, Alian, Mehta, you only need to help defend around the paint area and above the free throw line. The area goes to Bryant and Steve."

After Du Kang finished speaking, Howard shouted very loyally.

"Coach, make sure to complete the task!"

Seeing Howard like this, Du Kang smiled and nodded, seeming to agree.

From the perspective of other Lakers players, Howard is a sycophant and the most loyal person in the entire Lakers to Du Kang. It is no problem to call him Huo Zhongzhong.

Howard really rushed to complete any orders from Du Kang.

In addition, every time they practice, the yellow and the blue have to fight, and Howard has to abuse Kobe once. This makes many Lakers players actually have the idea of ​​​​changing their minds and withdrawing.

If it weren't for Kobe's special status in the Lakers, I am afraid that many Lakers players have already switched to Howard's team.

Kobe ignored Howard's eyes showing off his relationship with Du Kang, but stretched out his right hand lightly.

"victory!"

"victory!"

Although reluctant, under Du Kang's smiling eyes, Howard stretched out his right hand like other Lakers players.

If it wasn't for fear that no one would raise their hands after him, it would be embarrassing and embarrassing, he would have wanted to grab Kobe's privilege a long time ago.

"Hmph, when I become the leader of the Lakers recognized by everyone with the support of the coach, I see how arrogant you are. If you are willing to be my younger brother, I will stay with the Lakers and give you a chance to be Huo's younger brother. If If you don’t want to, just be an asshole like O’Neill back then!”

……

……

As the referee on duty threw the basketball in his hand into the air, the game between the Lakers and the Thunder officially started.

Before the game, Du Kang practiced Nash's defense and asked Kobe to teach children how to play basketball. Although it was taken from Du Kang's recent horror reputation, not many professionals directly laughed at Du Kang and the Lakers at the risk of slapping the face.

But many netizens, especially fans of the Miami Heat and Boston Celtics, don't have such scruples.

Attacked Du Kang crazily on the Internet, saying that Du Kang had won a few games and directed a few classic games, and then drifted away. He didn't know that he was actually a rookie head coach who didn't even have a tactical system.

What about such a thing as betting on life, you can win if you gamble once, and maybe you can win the second time, but it's hard to say if you bet the third time.

Gambling with life, if you don't stop in time, you will definitely go bankrupt in the end, and your family will die.

Are these Miami and Boston fans attacking Du Kang justified?

Of course it makes sense. In fact, most normal fans and neutral fans think it makes sense.

Let the 39-year-old Nash practice defense, is this something normal people can do?Ordinary fans can't do such a thing, let alone a professional head coach.

Another thing is to let Kobe teach children how to play basketball. Although Kobe is old, he hasn't reached the time to retire as a first-time coach, right?

Therefore, TNT's sky team made a very reasonable guess at the pre-match team meeting before the start of the game.

"Coach D is humiliating Kobe. It is impossible for Howard and Kobe to coexist. In the end, Coach D chose Howard and used Kobe to teach children to imply and satirize Kobe. He really should retire. Zhiqu, just after the end of this season , After retiring from the Lakers, I don’t know what is interesting, and I want to continue to play in the NBA, so I can only change places.”

"As for asking Nash to practice defense, this is the Lakers' choice. Kobe is the defensive core of the Lakers' outside line. If Kobe really chooses to die and be humiliated, and apply for a trade, the Lakers always need someone to defend the outside line. And the Lakers guard There are just a few, as the core Nash, without Kobe's protection, he must need a certain defensive ability."

It has to be said that the speculation of TNT Tiantuan has been recognized by many fans.

"We all know how smart Coach D is. Bullying Kobe, letting Kobe be the enlightenment coach, not allowing Kobe to train, this is to let Kobe, a training madman, die. Based on what I know about Kobe, Kobe will definitely not be able to bear it." Hold on, just wait, during the All-Star Weekend this year, there will be a big deal that will shock the NBA!"

"In order to get Kobe away, and to make the Lakers executives and fans think that Nash is enough to replace Kobe in the Lakers, in this game, I predict that Coach D will definitely let Nash defend Westbrook instead of Kobe!"

"At the same time, I will let Kobe defend KD. In the last match between the Lakers and the Thunder, KD deliberately singled out Kobe and beat Kobe badly. If I were coach D, I would definitely let KD teach and humiliate Kobe!"

"Actually, if the last game between the Lakers and the Heat wasn't for the fact that the Heat reporters were too aggressive, Coach D probably hoped that James would take a shot to humiliate Kobe, but in the end, Coach D had no choice but to kill James himself and make Kobe humiliate James!"

O'Neal's vowed words excited the entire NBA.

What's even more exciting is that after the game started, Ibaka beat Howard with a jump ball and got the Thunder's first attack in this game.

And standing in front of Westbrook is really Nash!

At the same time, it was not the former Artest who hugged Durant and defended Durant closely, it was really Kobe!
"Fake!"

"shit!"

"Shaq, you've guessed all the damn things right!"

In the first attack of the Thunder and the Lakers, Kenny Smith and Barkley were dumbfounded, and even O'Neal himself was stunned.

"Do I also have a great prophecy?!"

The Lakers fans at the scene were all dumbfounded at this time.

Coach D, their favorite now, really wants to mess with Kobe, their favorite in the past? !
The Dj at the Lakers scene was speechless at this time.

Even the head coach of the Thunder, Scott Brooks, stared at Westbrook and Nash on the court with wide eyes at this time.

Let Nash defend Westbrook one-on-one?
In order to engage Kobe, to help Nash's defense?
"Is Coach D crazy?!"

Coach D won't really be able to rule the NBA with a copy of Sun Tzu's Art of War, right?
From the perspective of Sun Tzu's Art of War, yes, but from the perspective of basketball, can Nash replace Kobe?

At the same time, Westbrook on the court looked at Durant who was entangled by Kobe's death next to him.

He looked at Nash who put him one step ahead.

Without any hesitation, Westbrook took two consecutive crotch dribbles and took a step forward, ignoring Nash's defense, and pulled up in front of Nash!

This is Westbrook's standard zombie jumper!

Straight up and down, very characteristic and very interesting.

"Steve, you don't have to move, you can stay still."

"Coach, isn't this good? You have to stretch out your hand, right?"

"It's up to you. Anyway, if he dribbles forward, you should step back. Don't step forward and let him shoot."

"understand!"

Recalling the coach's instructions in the locker room, facing such a high shot from Westbrook, Nash chose to reach out on the spot.

A swipe!
The sound of the basketball brushing the net came, and Staples, who was originally silent and anxious, became even more silent.

Westbrook hit, the live camera was not aimed at Westbrook, it was actually aimed at Du Kang in the first place!
Well, the live footage of the NBA really does.

Looking at Du Kang who was sitting there smiling calmly on TV, James in front of the TV was really excited!
"Dwyane, you believe that there will be retribution in this world!"

A person with such a dirty heart will be buried by his dirty heart sooner or later!

"LeBron, I believe, I believe that there will be justice in this world, there will be violence against violence, blackness to stop evil, and self-trap!"

To play Kobe in the Lakers, let Nash defend Westbrook in order to play Kobe, this person is really crazy!

That's right, use violence to control violence, use black to stop black, and bind yourself in a cocoon!
James is excitedly looking forward to this moment!
On the court, Diffraction Nash, Westbrook, who beat Staples to silence, pursed his stubborn mouth, touched his neck arrogantly, and looked at the Lakers bench next to him.

"This is my greeting!"

Du Kang was still smiling, as if he didn't see it.

calm down!

I'm not here for revenge tonight!
I'm here to listen to music tonight!
Still a symphony!
