Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 548 The strongest player in NBA, what kind of basketball is this!
James' skills are too poor, and they are hopelessly bad. James is 31 years old now, and it is basically a pipe dream for him to improve his skills.

James himself knows that he can't approach it from a technical perspective now.

The NBA's version update has put him in a very embarrassing situation.

He should have been at his peak, but in the end, due to the version update, he was even worse than his rookie self.

He has even lost the confidence to break through on the court now.

Every NBA referee takes pride in catching him for traveling.

Back then, NBA referees didn't dare to call a traveling call on him.

Now, if the NBA referees don't call him for traveling, they will be suspected of biased whistle calls. They have been paid, so naturally they will whistle him hard in order to prove their own wisdom and bravery.

What are the consequences of this?
That is, Kobe, Durant, Wade, Jordan, Rose, Westbrook, these superstars, sometimes it doesn't matter if they can steal half a step, but he, LeBron James, can't even steal this half step.

As long as you take half a step, it is called traveling.

His current breakthrough environment is the most difficult among active NBA players and also the most difficult in history. It is so difficult that he doesn't even dare to step out with his left leg or right leg first when breaking through.

The NBA referees' brutal calls against him also made him completely lose the confidence and threat of breaking through, and he became a player who could be easily defended by any defensive player.

So many fans are mocking him, saying that apart from defense and passing, he is a waste on the NBA court, and his offense is worse than Bowen. Bowen at least has a reliable three-pointer in the corner, but when James is closely followed, even his three-pointer is unreliable.

James is now eager to get out of this predicament.

So, recently, he has been playing crazy defense, hoping that everyone can see his value.

However, defense is indeed not as good as offense. No matter how good the defense is, it is difficult to be considered a star.

Therefore, he has even been kicked out of the ranks of stars by many fans.

This season was the first time in many years that he was not selected for the All-Star Game. This season, he reached the darkest moment of his career.

Now, he longs for salvation.

Finally, Magic Monty extended a helping hand to him again!
At the Boston Celtics' training ground, Magical Monty walked to the center of the training ground and clapped his hands. All the Celtics players who were training stopped their training and looked at Magical Monty who was already in the center of the training ground.

"gather!"

With a shout from the assistant coach, all the Celtics players gathered around the magical Monty.

"Next, we will have an intra-team practice match."

The words of the magical Monty stunned all the Celtics players in the stadium.

A practice match?
We have a big battle with the Bobcats tomorrow. Is it appropriate to have a competition practice at this time?

"LeBron, Anthony Davis, Smart, Joe Krause, Marvin Williams, you are in one group, Zach Randolph, Leonard, Paul George, Jeff Green, Jameer Nelson, you are in one group"

After the groups were divided, the Celtics players on the scene were very surprised that the amazing Monty, as the head coach, did not coach the group with the team leader Leonard.

In fact, in terms of strength, it is obvious that Leonard's group has three starters from the team, including the team leader Leonard, plus the star player Randolph, and Jameer Nelson, a former Magic veteran with strong leg-holding ability. The strength of Leonard's group is far above that of Davis' group.

Generally speaking, for the sake of face, the head coach should also coach the Leonard group.

Unexpectedly, the magical Monty actually coached the James group.

This surprised the Celtics players.

I wonder if the battle for the team's top spot is going to change again.

In the Celtics, the players have a boss, but the boss of the team will definitely not be a player.

Now the Celtics have two bosses, the magical Monty and Danny Ainge.

If the magical Monty fully supports James, then even Leonard will not be able to compete with James.

The sensitive Leonard took a deep look at the amazing Monty who was explaining tactics to James at this time.

That's why he hates coming to a team dominated by a head coach.

When he was in the Spurs, he was fed up with Popovich's autocratic rule and the days when players had no status.

Now he has come to the Boston Celtics. Magical Monty's prestige in the team is even higher than Popovich. In the Celtics, as long as Magical Monty interferes in the players' affairs, he will be more uncomfortable than when he was in the Spurs.

In the Spurs, he can still rely on his uncle and Popovich.

But when he arrived at the Celtics, his uncle didn't dare to say much.

On his first day in Boston, his uncle was warned not to try to challenge the prestige of Amazing Monty in the team.

Magical Monty is not comparable to Popovich.

The Celtics are no match for the Spurs.

What Danny Ainge said is correct. Popovich is indeed not as good as the magical Monty, and the Spurs are not as good as the Celtics.

But Leonard was unhappy.

Now, seeing the magical Monty giving special treatment to James, a half-dead dog, Leonard is even more unhappy.

However, as a taciturn person, Leonard certainly won't show it.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t show it, your good friend George can see it clearly and understand it.

"Hey, Kawhi, this is a good opportunity. I've actually wanted to beat up our King James for a long time!"

The Celtics also have intra-team competitions on a regular basis, but Leonard, George and James are basically in the same group. In order to improve their tacit understanding and chemistry, the starters are all in the same group.

It's rare to be an opponent of James.

After hearing what George said, Leonard's expression looked much better.

That’s right, beat up James!

In this confrontation training, since Magic Monty is so unseemly to support James, the dead dog, then beating up James is equivalent to beating up Magic Monty.

However, compared with General Joe, Leonard is still a more rational person, and he still has respect for the magical Monty.

"Don't underestimate the amazing Monty. Coach D can lead a CBA team to win the NBA championship. Although the amazing Monty leading a CBA team may not win the championship, it can probably beat any team."

When General Qiao heard this, he realized it was indeed the case.

I think that since James was struggling so much during this period, Magic Monty was thinking about how to liberate James and help him break through, so he didn't pay much attention to the team's tactical coordination, and George and Leonard didn't see the magic of Magic Monty.

Although they did not see much of the magic of Monty in the Celtics this month, this head coach who is as famous as Coach D does have a magical nickname and abilities.

At this moment, Magical Monty certainly had no idea how his team's two star players were thinking about beating him up.

"LeBron, I know you have a lot of concerns. This style of play may put a lot of strain on your body, but at this moment, you and I have no choice. If you feel tired, tell me and I will replace you. But now, you need to keep running, up and down, back and forth, screen and roll, help your teammates block people, and keep moving. Only in this way can you use the influence of your teammates to get the opportunity to break through and get the opportunity to rush. LeBron, when you rush, you are still one of the most powerful players in the world!"

James was actually quite shocked.

He didn't expect that the solution that Magical Monty found for him was this.

The offense needs to be everywhere.

"In this world, Coach D invented the organizing center. Although I dare not say that my use of you is comparable to that of an organizing center, I hope that you can become the first pressing forward in NBA history. For you, offense is defense. Our offense is the beginning of your defense. At the same time, your defense can also be your offense!"

Push forward!

Forward on the NBA court!

Tactical guidance and requirements from Magical Monty are extremely challenging for a player's basketball IQ and IQ.

But James has all of these.

You can laugh at James' skills, you can also laugh at James' hypocritical EQ, but you really can't laugh at James' basketball IQ and IQ.

He quickly understood what Amazing Monty wanted from him on the court.

At the same time, he quickly realized that he did possess all the abilities that Amazing Monty had taught him.

He was able to do everything Amazing Monty asked of him.

But, is it really useful to do this? In fact, when he was in trouble, his agent team and coaching team also suggested that he run more without the ball on the court. He actually did it, but the effect was very limited because his shooting was unstable. When he ran, others didn't follow him!
It feels like he is a fool. He is running there alone. As long as he doesn't reach the basket, the opponent will only block his shot and will not follow him the whole time.

He consumed his physical energy, but was unable to widen the opponent's defense.

This is also the reason why he used to like to attack without the ball and with his hands on his hips.

In the NBA, playing without the ball is always done with a shooter.

There is a reason for this.

Without enough shooting threat, running without the ball is equivalent to no threat.

James has always been very clear about himself, so he chose to put his hands on his hips when he didn't have the ball, watching his teammates play 4 against , and not causing trouble for his teammates.

And now, this request of Magical Monty to him is many times better than the advice given to him by his own team.

James took a deep breath.

"Coach, I will try my best!"

James felt that he had finally found his direction again.

Push forward!

He wants to become the first and strongest forward in NBA history!

He is going to be the first and only player in NBA history who is only responsible for defense on the court!
Defense is offense!
He is going to become the first player in NBA history to play all defense and offense!

James led his team to the court, and Leonard and Paul George looked at him with ill intentions.

Game start.

Davis made a successful jump ball and James' team took the first shot.

James received the pass from Davis and passed the basketball to Smart without waiting for Leonard to rush over.

Afterwards, Leonard, who had originally come to defend James, prepared to return to defense after seeing that the ball was no longer in James' hands.

Then, Leonard was shocked!

James, in the center circle, actually took the initiative to entangle him!
Leonard was dumbfounded.

Paul George, who had been staring at James not far away and was ready to assist in defending James, was also dumbfounded.

James, are you crazy?

It's your turn to attack, why are you hugging Leonard instead of running? ! !
According to the current NBA's anti-shame system, James's entanglement with Leonard is not a foul at all.

Leonard's confrontation ability is also outstanding, but how can he get rid of James!
After a long time, Leonard couldn't get rid of it.

Later, Leonard thought, that’s not right, I’m the defensive side, why should I get rid of James!
Leonard felt like he was being confused.

Since you want to finish with me here in the center circle, I will finish with you, let’s see who can beat who!

Leonard looked very unhappy.

I have never seen anything like this!
James and Leonard were entangled, while on the other side, Team James and Team Leonard were playing four against four.

On the basketball court, the fewer people there are, the more advantageous it is for offense. 1 vs. 1 is most advantageous for offense and most disadvantageous for defense.

4 vs 4 is definitely more offensive than 5 vs 5.

Although Leonard's team is stronger, the space on the court is too large and Leonard's defensive range is also larger.

The two sides fought to a stalemate.

At this moment, James, who was entangled with Leonard in the center circle, suddenly exerted his strength!
James suddenly pushed Leonard away and rushed forward!

Rushing without the ball!!!
If James with the ball can't speed up or break through, then when he runs without the ball, he is really terrifying!
That speed, that burst, that impact, was so terrifying that it shocked Leonard!

James pushed him away and took the first step, which made Leonard collapse and he couldn't catch up at all!

When James rushed to the three-point line, it took less than three steps!

The defensive players of Leonard's team never thought that when they were playing four against four, suddenly another enemy appeared!
When James rushed into the three-point line, Leonard's team's defenders began to shrink.

At this moment, there are opportunities everywhere outside!
Similarly, at this moment, in James' eyes, there are also opportunities everywhere!
Smart passes the ball!
Very beautiful lob!

James stepped over the free throw line and jumped up!

Paul George could only move sideways to the paint area and had no way of making any extra moves!

At last!
Paul George could only watch James in the air receive the pass from Smart, ride on him, and slam the basketball into the basket with one hand!

Farke! ! !

Looking at James riding on George, all the Celtics players and coaches at the scene were stunned!
Then, a moment later, everyone turned their gaze away from James and looked at the magical Monty who was smiling on the sidelines!
What the hell!

This is the head coach who is as famous as Coach D, Amazing Monty?!

Leonard and Paul George looked particularly shocked at this moment!

They had never seen James used this way!

No, they dare not even think that they can use James, a waste, in this way!!!
For James, this dunk on George was definitely the most vent of his anger this season!
This year, this season, he has had such a miserable time!
He never thought that it would be so difficult for him in the NBA!
No matter how miserable he was in the past, he feels so good after this dunk!
James, I feel so good!
After George below took his gaze away from Magical Monty, his face turned black when he looked at James who was still riding on him.

You fucking clamped it!
Believe it or not, I will bite you to death!
However, before George could open his mouth, James jumped down and rushed towards the magical Monty on the sidelines!
"Monty, seriously, I found LeBron's instruction manual..."

The Celtics' intra-team competition is underway.

The coaches who were watching originally thought that James' team's first attack at the start of the game was already amazing.

But compared with James' other operations that followed, this first attack at the beginning, in which he held Leonard and fought in the center circle, was not even considered magical!

"Amazing Monty created a new position in the NBA!"

"Amazing Monty, like Coach D, has revolutionized the way basketball is played!!!"

"Oh my god, I feel like LeBron James is the best player in NBA history!!!"

……

……

At Boston Airport, Du Kang arrived with the Bobcats.

"Coach D, are you going to swipe James again this time?"

The journalists here are very enthusiastic.

It seems that James is also hated by everyone in Boston.

Du Kang felt that it was not worth it for James.

No matter what, James is working hard for the Celtics.

It's not nice to mock him like this, right?

However, Du Kang did not take James seriously.

The next day, the morning training was over.

Du Kang's usual pre-match simulation.

In order to win all the regular season games, Du Kang would choose to simulate a game for every game against such a strong team. He felt bad for losing 100MP, so he saved money to get Danzi and Daizi.

You won’t know unless you simulate.

As soon as he simulated it, Du Kang was shocked!

"This is, LeBron, James?!!!!"

What the hell is this basketball? ! ! !
