Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 94 Two Drivers at the American Airlines Center!
The current overall rating of the UAE system is 87, which is a proper quasi-All-star star insider. If his defense is not considered to hinder the overall rating, his offense is definitely at the All-Star level or above.

Cooperate with the acceleration of 85 that he gave to the new editor of the United Arab Emirates.

Now the UAE's offense is said to be a superstar, and there is no problem.

The new task given by the system, the old Nelson regrets, the basic requirement is that the United Arab League lead the Lakers to defeat the Mavericks and defeat Nowitzki head-on.

To complete the task, these two requirements are the most basic.

If you want to get higher rewards, you need to play better on this basis.

Originally, Du Kang thought it was easy.

But in the first simulation, Nowitzki turned the UAE into a foul crisis as soon as he came up, and directly killed the UAE in the whole game. Du Kang knew that this task was not easy.

It should be too difficult!

The requirement of this task is that the UAE must defeat Nowitzki head-on, and he cannot let the UAE go out of position to score points.

It is necessary to let the UAE attack and defend against Nowitzki.

If the UAE plays Nowitzki offensively and let others defend Nowitzki defensively, this task is really not that difficult.

But is it positive?
Du Kang himself felt that it was not positive.

Judging from the simulation, Nowitzki also personally defended the UAE.

Generally speaking, Nowitzki did not defend the opponent's sharp knife in other games of the Mavericks.

Now for the UAE, Nowitzki personally defends the UAE.

Just for this, it is impossible for the United Arab Emirates to travel at the wrong peak.

But the point is that the current UAE, facing Nowitzki who is clearly prepared, the UAE can't defend against it!

This is very difficult to do.

In the second simulation, Du Kang set up the same, the first main attacker of the UAE, and played against Nowitzki on offense and defense throughout the whole process.

In this game, Du Kang set up the first main attacker to make more breakthroughs in the simulation settings.

I want to let the UAE take the initiative through a pre-emptive approach.

It was effective at the beginning, and Nowitzki couldn't prevent the UAE who broke through one-on-one.

But the point is that Du Kang hopes that the UAE will cause a foul on Nowitzki. Although Nowitzki can't prevent it, he doesn't foul!
Looking back, under Nowitzki's constant teasing and threats, UAE was constantly pointed up and fouled by Nowitzki.

The mission failed again.

"This is simply unsolvable!"

Two years ago, Nowitzki faced the Thunder in the Western Conference finals of the playoffs and set a record of 24 consecutive free throws in a single game.

What's really scary about this record isn't the 100% free throw percentage.

But as long as you eat Nowitzki, Nowitzki can give you 24 free throws for shooting fouls in the game!

This is very scary.

Obviously, the United Arab Emirates is now very affected by Nowitzki.

The UAE's current defense is indeed problematic.

Ibaka was trained by Nowitzki for three years before he was trained by Nowitzki.

It is not realistic for the UAE to raise its defense in a short time.

Du Kang not only wanted the reward for this hidden mission, but also had an evaluation level, the higher the better.

The Lakers must win the championship this season.

The team's current morale and cohesion have improved.

Whether it's his own strength or the strength of the team, of course the stronger the better.

"It seems that we can only find another way."

Du Kang started his third simulation.

……

……

American Airlines Center.

At 8:[-] in the evening, the American Airlines Center Arena can definitely be described as full of guests and stars.

The Lakers just played a very powerful game against the Thunder in Goose City yesterday.

Now is the time when the popularity is the highest and the topic is the highest.

The fans are watching.

Originally, the game between the Lakers and the Mavericks was not broadcast live across the United States at this point in time.

But in order to allow audiences across the United States to see the wonderful performances of the four guards, TNT decided to adjust the game between the Lakers and the Mavericks to a national live broadcast.

At the American Airlines Center arena, there were also many fans of the four guards. For this game, the price of the Mavericks' home tickets soared 8 times. For what reason, of course the four guards!

Then, the audience and TNT's trio were dumbfounded.

"Falke, except for Iverson, the four guards in this game are all on rotation!!"

When the starting lineups of the two teams were played, the audience at the scene and the audience in front of the TV were a little dumbfounded.

For a while, there were bursts of boos from the scene.

In fact, not to mention the audience at the scene, even the old Nelson, who was hugging and greeting Du Kang at this time, was stunned.

"Coach D, you rested Kobe, McGrady and Carter for this game?"

"Yes, I am also looking forward to the match between Yi and Dirk."

"..."

and also?
Seeing the smile on Du Kang's face, old Nelson was stunned.

Next to Nowitzki, Rick Carlisle, Nelson Jr., and Cuban were all stunned.

So, Du Kang wanted to fulfill the wishes of old Nelson and Dirk, so Kobe and the others were rested in this game?
If Kobe and the others are on the court, it is indeed difficult for Yi to become the main offensive point of the Lakers, then the duel between him and Dirk is a false proposition.

Impossible.

Even if it is realized, it will only take a few rounds.

It is also impossible to realize the wishes of Nelson and Nowitzki.

In order to realize the old Nelson's wish, did he temporarily change the starting lineup of the Lakers?

Cuban and the others looked at Du Kang differently at this time.

Many people say that Coach D is a black-hearted head coach who only wants to win.

But looking at it now, it is obviously not the case.

In 2000, although Wang Zhizhi came to the team late, the old Nelson still planned to train him.

But at that time, the Mavericks changed owners. At that time, Cuban only cared about player statistics and victories, and did not allow the team to train young people at all.

This is also the starting point of the conflict between Nelson Sr. and Cuban.

In the 2003 Western Conference Finals, Nowitzki was injured, Nelson Sr. was determined not to let the driver play, but Cuban asked the driver to fight with the injury, and the conflict between the two completely detonated.

In 2004, Cuban retaliated by not renewing the contract with Nelson's favorite player, Nash. The angry old Nelson yelled at him, which was aimed at him.

Cuban is a very good boss now, but at that time, his operations, looking at it now, are all dark history.

Cuban's contribution to the regret of Nelson and Nowitzki is actually very large.

For the driver, he and Wang Zhizhi are both international players, big players who can shoot three-pointers, and their skills are very delicate and comprehensive. They also live in the same apartment because of their status as international players.

In this apartment, Nash still lived. At that time, Nash and the driver liked to give concerts, and Wang Zhizhi would be their audience, and sometimes he would play the guitar to cooperate.

When they were young, they might play while fantasizing about themselves and each other in 10 or 20 years.

Lifelong friend, or lifelong enemy?

Both of them must have thought that when we fully evolve and grow to the strongest, there will be another fateful duel.

The two people who used to be similar originally longed to compete with each other and grow up together, but due to various reasons, one became an NBA legendary superstar, and the other fell due to various regrets.

For Nowitzki, his career has been perfect, a player from the beginning, a legend with a crown.

Perhaps the only regret is Wang Zhizhi and Nash, two young friends.

One is the unrealized peak duel, and the other is the unrealized victory together.

Listening to the boos on the scene at this time, Du Kang, Nash, the driver, and old Nelson were a little silent.

Du Kang, Nash, and Old Nelson all looked at Cuban.

And Nowitzki is a little embarrassed.

Seeing the suddenly strange atmosphere, Cuban froze for a moment, then looked at Du Kang with a smile.

"Coach D, wait a minute."

After speaking, Cuban made a phone call.

Soon, the live Mavericks Dj started a new broadcast.

"The audience who bought loose tickets at a high price tonight, after the game is over, can take the ticket to refund the part higher than the usual game, and our boss, Mr. Cuban, will pay for it personally!"

After the yelling by the Mavericks Dj, the fans who booed at the scene fell silent for an instant.

If you can watch a Lakers game at the original price, it is of course a blood profit.

Even without Kobe, McGrady and Carter, wouldn't there still be Nash, Iverson and Howard?
What's more, the Mavericks and Nowitzki.

"Hahahaha, this is something Cuban can do, but can Cuban also reimburse our ratings?"

Hearing the live DJ say that Cuban wants to personally reimburse the high-priced tickets at the scene, Kenny Smith joked.

"Thank you, Mark."

After Cuban patted the driver on the shoulder, he sat back in his seat with a smile.

If it's just old Nelson's regret, it's none of his business.

Neither he nor Nelson Sr. are now reconciled.

Is it about money?
This is a matter of face for men.

"Mr. Cuban is really a man of temperament."

Du Kang said with a smile.

Thinking of the scene where Cuban dug himself, Du Kang finds it very interesting every time he thinks about it.

"This time Mr. Cuban paid for it."

"Coach D, don't worry about him, he still owes me more than 600 million dollars and hasn't paid it back."

"..."

Du Kang looked at the old Nelson's displeasure towards Cuban at this time, and was taken aback for a moment.

And Nelson, who is now working for Cuban next to him, looks embarrassed.

"Coach D, you won't play Kobe, Carter and Tracy McGrady in this game. If you lose the game, you will lose more than Mr. Cuban."

"If you can achieve your wish, everything is worth it, and even if Kobe and the others don't play, I still feel that I have taken advantage of it."

"..."

"Mr. Carlyle, I'm not one to take advantage."

"..."

Carlisle was confused, the driver next to him, Old Nelson, and even Nash felt a little confused.

How did you take advantage of it?
But everyone was confused for a while. After the match started, everyone knew what Du Kang meant when he said that he didn't like to take advantage.

"Coach D is directing the sidelines to ask Yi not to defend closely, not to give Dirk a physical confrontation! Dirk's beautiful turnaround jumper, the golden rooster is independent!! Bang!!!! Let's cheer for the great Dirk!!! "

After Nowitzki scored his first two points of the game independently with the iconic golden rooster, the sound of the Mavericks' live DJ made the Mavericks fans on the scene cheer.

As many neutral viewers of this game, it is incredible.

Especially the three commentators of TNT.

"Coach D has now won 19 consecutive victories. As long as he wins this game, he will lead the Los Angeles Lakers to 20 consecutive victories. Maybe the victory or defeat of a game on the spot can no longer shake any prestige of Coach D, but the game's Winning means a lot to the Lakers."

"As long as you win this game, Coach D will lead the Lakers to become the fourth team in NBA history to achieve more than 20 consecutive victories!"

"However, in this game, he rested Kobe, Carter and Tracy McGrady!"

"What exactly is Coach D going to do in this game? Does he want to create a confrontation with Dirk for China Yi?"

The three commentators of TNT are still confused.

Many viewers in front of the TV are still wondering.

And on the pitch.

It's the Lakers' turn to attack.

Du Kang, who was standing on the sidelines, looked away from Nowitzki.

I have to say that Nowitzki's shooting is really like a work of art now.

Such a player, anyone who likes basketball, would be reluctant to leave him.

Such a player, anyone who likes basketball, will cherish it.

Du Kang asked Ah Lian not to confront the driver, not only to complete the task, but also to prevent Ah Lian from getting into foul trouble.

It is also to better appreciate this artistic shooting, and also to allow the driver to stay on the court for a longer period of time.

On the court, because the driver played his iconic golden rooster independence against the UAE just now at the beginning of the game.

Therefore, in the next round, Nash signaled the other Lakers players to pull away and let the UAE single the driver.

Facing the driver's defense, the UAE did not choose to ask for the ball in the low post.

Instead, hold the ball face-up.

In this game, Du Kang gave the UAE the task of defeating the driver.

Even if Du Kang doesn't say anything, the UAE wants to beat the driver in this game.

Beat the driver.

This is the long-cherished wish of the insiders of the two Chinese teams!
In front of the TV, seeing Ah Lian, who was holding the ball and breaking through the driver, and Wang Zhizhi in front of the TV, his hands were already tightly clenched into fists.

Ah Lian broke through the driver face-to-face, and obviously had the opportunity to pass the driver directly, but after breaking through the driver, he did not rush to the basket completely, but stuck to the driver sideways, and after leaning the driver, he retreated Step back and jump up.

"It's also Golden Rooster Independent!!"

Unlike the old man who was full of aesthetics and artistry in the driver just now, the Golden Rooster Independent of Ah Lian is full of youthful sense of movement.

These are two completely different styles.

But they are all independent of the golden rooster!

The Golden Rooster in front of the driver of the United Arab Emirates was independent, and the Mavericks fans on the scene exclaimed again and again.

A swipe!
Ah Lian paid back a golden rooster independence in front of the driver!
The people in front of the TV generally let out a sigh of relief.

It feels like the person who is fighting the driver on TV is not Ah Lian, but himself.

"I don't know what we will be like ten years from now?"

"Dirk must have been the best player in the league at that point."

"If this is the case, then the king must be my biggest opponent."

After a burst of laughter of young people's dreams.

This was followed by the sound of a guitar accompanied by a saxophone.

The music is full of dreams at that moment.

Twelve years have passed.

He has become the best player as promised.

And I missed the appointment...

If life could be repeated...

No, life cannot be repeated.

He is him.

The United Arab Emirates is the United Arab Emirates.

Ah Lian is not him and cannot replace him.

Ah Lian does not need to attend the appointment on his behalf.

on the field.

Nowitzki looked at the young man in front of him, a little lost.

Wang's body will never have such muscle lines.

Wang is so talented that he would never train such a muscle group.

Wang's style of play is elegant, and he will never use his strength to push himself away as he did just now.

When Wang competes with me, he will never imitate my golden rooster independence.

he's Chinese.

But he is not king.

Yi is himself.

Yi, like my younger self.

Regret is regret after all.

It's a pity, and it can never be made up for.

However, he was not disappointed.

Originally looking for Wang's shadow on Yi's body, there was a problem.

Moreover, it is a joy to be able to see what I looked like when I was young when I was about to leave the NBA.

"Yi, just now you can shoot faster and higher, don't be afraid, be more confident, you have such ability."

"..."

Ah Lian stared blankly at Nowitzki's back.

Be more confident?

Are my shots conservative?
"Coach D, this game is actually a match between Yi and Dirk..."

After the game between the Lakers and the Mavericks started, many doubts were no longer in doubt.

"Obviously, Coach D wanted to realize China Yi's wish. When he entered the league, the template was Nowitzki. Many people thought he had a chance to become Nowitzki, but in the end, he almost failed. In the hands of Coach D, Yicai once again let people see his potential wasted by the Bucks, Nets and other teams."

"Dirk's career has entered its twilight years. Maybe this season will be Dirk's final peak. If he misses this game, Yi will miss it forever. Coach D chose to give Yi a chance!"

"So, this game is a contest between two Dirks, a young and energetic Dirk, and a washed-up Dirk. It's interesting, so interesting!"

The TNT trio who originally thought this game would be a bit boring, started to find it interesting after the game started.

And the audience at the scene was actually very honest.

Not to mention Mavericks fans, many old fans at the scene grew up watching Dirk.

Most of the fans of the four major guards on the scene have been watching the NBA for a long time.

Maybe many fans of James, Durant, and Curry don't know what Dirk was like when he was young.

But many fans of the four major defenders definitely know what Dirk was like when he was young.

A 2-meter big man has such incredible luck and explosive power, and also has such an excellent shooting ability.

"Not to mention very similar, they are exactly the same!"

One old and one young, two Nowitzki duel on the court.

For Mavericks fans, what a happy thing this is!
After being happy, many Mavericks fans at the scene began to worry.

"We actually had him once!"

"Why can't we have him now!"

"If he hadn't been under Coach D, maybe we wouldn't have seen a young Dirk either!"

"Time passes and cannot be defeated, but Coach D has the magic to turn back time!"

On the court, in the duel between the UAE and the driver, basically no one can guard the other.

At the request of Du Kang, UAE did not stay close to the driver and confronted the driver. When the two were on the court, they really used all their offensive methods.

The Mavericks fans who watched the game felt like the history of the team in the past 13 years.

Many Mavericks fans just applauded the driver at first.

Later, slowly, began to applaud and cheer for the United Arab Emirates.

Finally, when the game ended, the Mavericks fans at the scene were already shouting at the same time.

"YI!" and "Dirk!"

That scene shocked the fans of the four major defenders.

"For Mavericks fans, this game is definitely worth 8 times the ticket price!"

"In this game, Nowitzki played 39 minutes, and even more in the second half. How long has it been since we saw such a desperate Dirk on the court?"

At the end of the game, Nowitzki smiled.

The Mavericks lost the game.

Lost to the Lakers 114 to 119.

But the Mavericks fans at the scene were chanting the names of opponent players.

"Rick, is this what a losing team should look like?"

"No."

Carlisle looked at the Lakers player on the court who was cheered by the Mavericks fans, his eyes were shining.

At this time, the owner of the Mavericks in the stands seemed to have hungry eyes.

Listening to the audience's cheers for Ah Lian, Du Kang was also very happy for Ah Lian.

However, the game is over.

The Lakers won under the leadership of the United Arab Emirates.

Ah Lian's performance also overwhelmed the driver with direct dialogue.

But his task was delayed.

Speaking of the hidden mission of Jerry Bass last time, it was finally shown that it was completed, and you need to talk to Jerry West.

Could it be that this time, to show that the task is completed, do we need to have a dialogue?

with who?

and the driver?
And Ah Lian?
Certainly not, there is only Old Nelson in this mission.

Du Kang looked at the old man standing there.

Seeing the complicated look on old Nelson's face at this moment, Du Kang suddenly realized.

Old Nelson's pity.

He regrets roughly.

The old Nelson hoped to see the matchup between the peak and the driver.

But in this game, what he saw was a duel between a young driver and a top driver.

"It seems that the mission has failed."

Du Kang felt a little regretful, but not disappointed.

Because the United Arab Emirates is the United Arab Emirates, not roughly.

It is also impossible for him to say to the United Arab Emirates, in order to help me complete the task, you should simulate the entire game in this game.

This is impossible.

"Mr. Nelson, Yi will never be king."

"Yeah, Yi will never be king."

Ok?
Du Kang looked at the old man in surprise.

Just now he looked disappointed, but now there is a smile on his face.

"Coach D, do you know? When I first saw him, how amazing is he?"

"..."

"It's a pity, it's a pity, but, Coach D, thank you for letting me watch a game full of memories, Dirk, it's really good, no, Dirk is the better one."

Nowitzki, who came with Yi Jianlian and Nash, stopped and was stunned.

at the same time.

"Ding, congratulations on completing the hidden mission Old Nelson's Regret, completion degree: gold."

"Ding, congratulations on getting the reward, Wang Zhizhi Player Dream Card."

Player dream card?

What is this?
Dream?
Ever since Maizi learned from the past, when Du Kang hears the word dream, he immediately jumps up.

Item: Wang Zhizhi's Player Dream Card (Gold)

Description: Retrace Wang Zhizhi's career, can you realize your dream?
