Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 494 The storm is coming!

After Du Kang left, Jim Shu is no longer as relaxed in the Lakers as he was in the past three years.

During Du Kang's three years with the Lakers, he was definitely one of the most enjoyable owners in the NBA.

He didn't have to worry about anything, even if he was fighting with Aunt Jenny, he didn't need to worry about being assassinated by Aunt Jenny. Du Kang helped him solve everything, things in the team, things outside the team, everything, Du Kang They all helped him do it obediently.

He only had to act as a domineering president in front of Du Kang and keep repeating to Du Kang with a cold face: "Your decision is my decision."

Therefore, when Du Kang was with the Lakers, he had a lot of time to engage in his personal hobbies, but now, there is no such time at all.

The team's affairs really made him feel a little overwhelmed.

This is still the case without Aunt Jenny to cause trouble. If Aunt Jenny comes to cause trouble again at this time and gets together with the bunch of forces in the team, then this Laker will not be a place for people to live at all.

So, although he has been the champion boss and dynasty boss for three years, Jim Shu is actually the first person to run a company for the first time without the influence of old Bass and Du Kang starting from this season. team.

Indeed, many things are very cumbersome.

Although the salary cap has increased significantly this season, his annual salary is only 800 million. Coming to the Lakers is a salary cut.

He always thought that among this bunch of young people, Devin Ebanks was the strongest. Although these people were also very strong, he really didn't expect these people to be so strong.

In the first training camp of the Lakers, five people from the Spurs used a reason to attack Kyle Lee, who seemed to be a fringe player of the Lakers. During the confrontation training, they wanted to beat Kyle Lee. , to show one's existence, it can be regarded as a display of power.

Can't prevent it, can't prevent it at all!
Originally, in this practice match, Popovich wanted to let Ebanks, the Lakers' most powerful faction, get to know his new teammates.

In the end, Popovich watched helplessly as his closest former Spurs disciple, Danny Green, was beaten hard by Ebanks players for 20 minutes. In the end, even Dinwiddie beat Danny Green violently. .

The reason why he decided to come to the Lakers despite taking a salary cut was naturally not only because of the big city of Los Angeles, but also because he felt that he could reward Popovich as a starter in the Lakers. After all, Popovich needed a direct descendant of the Spurs. , and he is the strongest player in the Spurs' lineage.

But the final result was not that Teacher Dewen stepped forward and attacked forcefully.

The Spurs wanted to get rid of Kyle Lee as soon as they came up. In fact, they wanted to get rid of Ebanks behind Kyle Lee.

Damn it, let alone compete with Ebanks for the starting spot. Damn it, I can't even compete with Ebanks' younger brother Antetokounmpo, Jokic and McAway!
At that moment, Danny Green was completely out of balance.

In the end, it actually turned into a battle for authority among the die-hard direct descendants left by these D coaches of the Lakers.

As long as he can beat McAway, Ebanks and Antetokounmpo, the three biggest competitors.

After being robbed by McAway, Antetokounmpo came again. It was also sudden. Antetokounmpo's style was different from McAway's style. After a summer, Antetokounmpo lost weight again. He is heavier and his muscles are bigger. His breakthrough is not like Mcaway's explosive speed that avoids people, but a burst of speed combined with confrontation. Danny Green was knocked upside down by Antetokounmpo. My whole body was about to fall apart, and my guts were about to burst.

In the end, it was Jokic who stood up first...

Maizi and Kezi have very flexible positions. Kezi can play positions 1-3, and Maizi can play positions 1-5.

To be precise, Ebanks didn't stand up for Kyle Lee at all in the beginning.

After Jokic hammered Danny Green, McAway came back again. Danny Green, whose head was buzzing after being hammered by Jokic, lost eight points of his very strength. How could he stop McAway? With terrifying speed and explosion, Danny Green was beaten to pieces by McAwee in the end and was in a state of disarray.

Damn it!
You are all so strong, so shouldn’t Ebanks be even stronger?

When they accept Popovich's invitation to come to the Lakers, they will definitely not just want to be the water cooler keeper, especially Danny Green. If he is willing to stay with the Spurs, he will have a multi-million-year salary contract. When he comes to the Lakers, he actually signed it. A mid-level contract.

Therefore, the Lakers only have two players left who can compete for the starting position.

Then, it was Kyle Lee's turn, and the Human Creeping Essence finally took action.

For Li Kai, the human squirming essence, he likes to fight the jumping monsters and those opponents who are already distracted and panicked, because his unique attack rhythm that slows down the opponent is too targeted. These already panicked opponents.

He couldn't stop yet, but if he did, he was really afraid that McAway would lead a rebellion.

In that match between the Spurs and the German teachers, the Spurs attacked and bullied Kyle like crazy, and looked like they were going to beat up Kyle Li, which really angered the German teachers.

The end result, of course, is that Ebanks did not beat his defense in the beginning.

Danny Green feels that he is just one step away from starting for the Lakers to establish his authority and one reason, and the reason for defeating Ebanks is very powerful.

Provoke Ebanks, and then let Ebanks attack Danny Green. Then, Danny Green locked up Ebanks and completed his dominance over the Lakers.

In the end, Danny Green and the others made it a prestige battle.

Maizi, Kezi and Yao Ming, these three starters have been decided.

And Danny Green is also very confident. After all, in the past three years, he played against the Lakers with the Spurs and faced players like Tracy McGrady and Kobe. Of course he can't compare to Ebanks and Micah in terms of overall strength. Wei and Antetokounmpo are three All-Star players, but if Ebanks wants to attack and defeat his defense, it is impossible. Neither Maizi nor Kezi defeated his defense so easily.

For example, compared to Du Kang who likes to draft new players, Popovich seems to like the elderly more now. He sent the draft pick to the Spurs in exchange for the old players, Patty Mills and Dellavedova. Then, in the free market, they relatively low-key signed old players Danny Green, Belinelli, and Matt Bonner whose contracts had expired.

These five people, including Maizi, Kezi, and Yao Roy, definitely don't have the courage to face Bo.

In Danny Green's opinion, it makes sense.

Therefore, the position does not matter. Although he is a small forward, he can still start with Maizi and Kezi.

Jokic directly switched positions with Ebanks and played Danny Green in singles.

From the perspective of the Spurs, this is a very good strategy. It does not have to make the conflict explicit, but it also takes care of the face of Popovich and everyone. If you are not strong enough, it is reasonable to give up the starting lineup, right?

Oh, it’s okay for your direct descendant to mess with my younger brother, but if we want to mess with your younger brother, just stop. Is there such a truth in the world?

Then I'm fucking sick, so I'm going to take a pay cut and come to the Lakers to fight for a starting position? !

There is no doubt that these five new players to the Lakers are definitely Popovich's die-hard confidants, and they must follow Popovich's lead.

But the courage to make trouble with Ebanks, McAway and Antetokounmpo is still there, and it is great.

Danny Green was dumbfounded.

Only Ebanks did not take action.

And this makes Danny Green even more humiliated. Doesn't this directly tell him that this defensive champion who was singled out with the super god Maizi and the super god Kobe Bryant, you are not worthy?
It can be seen how ashamed and angry Danny Green was after this supposedly harmonious practice match ended.

The other Spurs players were also ashamed, angry and frightened.

These six players under Ebanks really fooled them.

They all came here with ambitions.

Dellavedova was Popovich's magic weapon against the Curry brothers in the Spurs. When he came to the Lakers, he wanted to get the starting point guard position. With Kozi, Maizi and Yao Ming, I can shoot and dribble. , can still defend the Curry brothers, is he not more suitable to start than you, McAway?

So what if McAway is an All-Star? That's because Kobe, McGrady, Yao Ming and Roy are not here, which gives you a lot of time. In fact, you and Kobe, McGrady and Yao Ming don't match up.

Patty Mills came to the Lakers because he wanted to become the sixth man of the Lakers. Roy heard that his mind is not on the court now and he doesn't have much use. The sixth man is a hard job. Roy can In the playoffs, he is the sixth man at critical moments, but in normal times, in the regular season, Patty Mills can replace Roy as the strongest sixth man. As for Antetokounmpo, can you shoot? Can you attack?

What's the use of being an All-Star? I'm the best fit for this Lakers team, and you are just a cancer that competes with Kobe Wheat for the ball, and I only need the right to shoot. I'm still a direct descendant of Pop. How can I not beat you? !
Belinelli actually has this idea too. Except for Bonner, all four of the five Spurs players want to take a further step with the Lakers.

Bobo needs manpower, Bobo will definitely reuse him, he has the strength, Bobo has no reason not to reuse him.

Then, the reality is indeed too cruel.

Their boss, Danny Green, was killed as a warning to the monkeys as soon as he came up.

They are not even monkeys, their boss Danny Green is just a chicken, and they are just flies at best.

After this confrontation practice, they realized how terrifying the six direct descendants left by Coach D were.

In the subsequent training camp, they finally learned the reason why Lian Kezi, Maizi and Yaozi were usually reluctant to use these young people. Damn it, it’s not that Kezi Maizi and the others are nice, it’s that they really can’t do anything!

Kezi Maizi and the others felt that they might not be able to offend these young people, so everyone respected each other and did not cause trouble.

They really didn't expect that the weak persimmon in their minds would actually be the most iron-clad Lakers.

They have the largest number and are powerful. They really have strength in numbers!
Did Danny Green and the others give up after knowing that they had kicked down the iron plate?

Are you ready to be a water cooler keeper and a late role player in the Lakers?

There are only 13 spots in the NBA for a game, and only 10 can enter the rotation. They understand Pop, and Pop is not Coach D. Pop is already a very good head coach in the NBA, but there are only 10 rotations.

Kobe, Maizi, Dayao and Roy are definitely unlikely to fall out of the rotation.

If you add the six from the Ebanks department, 10 rotations are determined.

The key is that in these ten rotations, you really have everything you need and lack nothing.

If the five of them don't want to fight for themselves, they will really be on the bench, and they won't even be able to trade away for the time being.

They worked so hard to come to the Lakers with a salary cut, and then left in despair without a fight. How is this possible?

Therefore, although the five Spurs are not causing trouble on the surface, they are submissive and work as water dispenser managers for the Lakers, refilling the bags of veteran players from 10 other teams with peace of mind.

In fact, they have been thinking about how to counterattack and gain the upper hand.

I am also really grateful to the Lakers for the objective conditions of leaking information everywhere and having no secrets.

Therefore, Jim Shu, Pop, they all know that these five Spurs want to cause trouble.

However, they have not yet come up with a specific solution for how to do this.

In fact, although Jim Shu and Popovich have a headache, from the bottom of their hearts, they still feel that Danny Green and the others should not be able to do anything big.

After all, the NBA respects strength.

It’s just that I’m afraid that these five Spurs players will be the trigger and stimulate Ebanks’ ambition. If you mess with me like this, why don’t you mess with Kobe, Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming?

Isn't it because I'm not the boss of the Lakers?
Then, I will take away the position of Lakers boss! ! !

And this is also the reason why Jim Shui has been having nightmares during this time.

Damn it, if Danny Green and the others could be traded immediately, he would trade them without hesitation.

But they had just signed with the Lakers and they didn't want to leave. Popovich had no intention of letting them leave. He really couldn't trade them.

After listening to Jim Shu's talk about the deeper conflicts within the Lakers, the smile on Du Kang's face finally disappeared. He really didn't expect Jim Shu to have such thoughts.

However, it is indeed possible.

Even if Ebanks listens to him and has no intention of stealing the Lakers boss, in order to establish his authority and show his status in the team a little bit, can Kezi bear it?

Kobe is now full of thoughts of beating Danzi violently, and has never thought of retreating to the second line, retreating again and again. The principle of cutting five cities today and ten cities tomorrow is still very simple. Kobe has no system or loyalty system. , how can one 100% believe that Ebanks has no ambition at all? When he engaged O'Neal, he didn't have that big ambition at the beginning. In the end, he was pushed by the trend of history and put on the yellow robe step by step.

Ebanks needs to be capable, young, prestigious, and a younger brother. He is still a player selected by the Lakers in 2010. He is truly one man, one city. In terms of pedigree, he is better than the player selected by the Hornets that year. The one who was traded to the Lakers has a pure bloodline.

If you were Kobe, you would be worried too.

It can be said that the balance between Ebanks and Koko is very fragile.

The kind that is so fragile that he is frightened. The slightest movement of Ebanks may cause Kobe's stress reaction.

After all, Kezi is now definitely the team boss with the most experience in fighting in the NBA.

He replaced O'Neal as the boss of the Lakers. After becoming the boss, he successively killed two young people who wanted to steal the boss, Bynum and Howard.

When it comes to fighting, Koko never loses.

Why do you really think Koko never loses in a fight?
Just because Kezi is strong?
When Kozi was defending Howard, it was a textbook example of struggle. He struck first and directly labeled Howard as a softie and a coward, making Howard an object of ridicule and sarcasm for Lakers fans, players, and all neutral fans in the NBA. The young center who led the team to the finals with a single core was directly ruined by Kezi. I feel sorry for the boss, why did he find such an unreliable garbage.

Kezi's move was really cruel.

If it weren't for Du Kang, Howard would have resigned himself to his fate and was ready to leave the Lakers. He didn't want the Lakers, Los Angeles, or the boss.

Therefore, when Kezi gets stressed, it will definitely be as terrifying as a violent storm.

Even Du Kang was infected by the terrifying look on Jim Shu's face, with a look of worry on his face.

And on the other side.

The Lakers and Spurs players were hiding in the corner of the Lakers training facility and started discussing things.

"Coach D is here! The best stage is here!!!"

"Our strength is indeed not good, but don't you think they are too strong? Does an NBA role player need to be so strong? The Lakers' role players should not have such powerful players!!!"

"Yes, they should leave!"

"Danny, now is the time for you to let them leave, and the next game is the time for you to let them leave the Lakers!"

Danny Green was looked at by his accomplices around him, his hands trembling a little.

To be honest, he has never done such a shameless and dark thing before, nor has he ever thought about doing it.

Even when Parker and Leonard were messing with each other, after he knew how dark Parker's methods were, he despised Parker for supporting Leonard.

Now, their methods are definitely darker than Parker's back then.

However, thanks to Parker, they knew how to get rid of Ebanks and the others.

Who said that strength is king in the NBA, and the strong ones can definitely defeat the weak ones?
As long as you can let the team choose one of the two, winning or losing is really not certain!
As long as they can let the team choose one of the two, Kobe and the others will definitely support themselves, not the group of guys in Ebanks who are so powerful that they pose a threat.

It is enough for the Lakers to have Kobe Bryant and McGrady, Yao Ming and Roy. The Ebanks group has overflowed. They should not exist in the list of role players. They should go to other NBA teams to become bosses!

Parker thought the same way back then. If he chose one of the two, he had the support of GDP and the team would definitely choose him. However, no one expected that Parker himself had foreign connections, otherwise Leonard would definitely be the one to leave at that time.

Danny Green gritted his teeth. He felt that there was great hope!

"I've done it. In the next game, I will punch Ebanks so damn hard. In front of Coach D, I will punch Ebanks so hard!!!"

I'm so damn disgusted with who I am now!
However, if you don’t do it for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth! ! !
……

……

"Ah sneeze~!"

Zhuimeng sneezed and rubbed his nose.

"Chai Meng, are you okay?"

"Haha, it's okay, I always feel like a beautiful woman is thinking of me, hahahaha..."
