Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 104 We Are Really Invincible and Howard's 3-Point Practice!
"Ding, your players Carter and Iverson's mutual affection has reached more than 90, and they can be mentors to each other."

After the game with the Rockets, the Lakers have another group of players who can be mentors to each other.

However, the group of Carter Iverson and Kobe Bryant is different. In the group of Carter and Iverson, the style of play of the two is too distinct.

Iverson does not have many of Carter's skills, such as various aerial work skills.

Carter does not have many of Iverson's skills, such as various fancy ball handling and dribbling skills.

Then skills such as Mr. Key, King of CIC, Marksman, etc., both of them have and the level is not low.

Either Carter couldn't learn it, or Iverson couldn't learn it, or both.

Du Kang chose for a long time, he chose a bottom-line three-pointer for Iverson, and he chose a 'first step master' for Carter

Iverson's bottom-line three-pointer needs to learn from 0, it takes one week to reach bronze, one month to reach silver, and three months to reach gold.

Carter's first step in learning masters is from gold to purple, which takes a month.

With Carter's style of play, raising the master of the first step to purple can still greatly enhance the strength. After the three-threat or fancy dribble, it can increase the explosive start. This is the pre-skill of Iverson's Butterfly Piercing Flower .

After the game against the Rockets, the Lakers' winning streak came to 32 games. Now the public opinion in the United States is asking whether Du Kang can bring the Lakers to [-] consecutive victories all the way to the end.

Even some experts who are not afraid of big things are looking forward to whether this Lakers can remain undefeated this season, and even win the playoffs.

It was this group of old guys like the Black Lakers who would definitely lose weight in the playoffs.

These people are still touting the Lakers Invincibles now.

As far as Du Kang's IQ is concerned, if he really believes what these people say, then he is an idiot.

There is no other reason why these people praise him so much, it is because he and the Lakers have been winning, from one victory to another.

As long as they fail, the faces of these people will immediately become completely different.

These media can turn around at will and fall with the wind.

But Du Kang can't.

This season, he must win the championship!

This season, he has no capital to fail.

This season, if you don't win the championship, you will be GG.

Therefore, he needs to do everything he can to create more thighs and make the Lakers stronger.

Just like a patient suffering from insufficient firepower phobia, Du Kang is now suffering from 'thigh insufficiency phobia'.

Everyone who praised him and the Lakers for being invincible was beaten by Du Kang as a troublemaker who said 'there are always troublemakers who want to harm me'.

Therefore, recently Du Kang felt that there were more and more troublemakers around him.

Those Lakers celebrities who originally thought it was a gift from Jeremy Buss and went to Aunt Jenny's side seem to be slowly coming back.

The magician who had sold his shares to him to avoid misfortune had returned, and, as if he had made up his mind, he no longer sat on the fence, but appeared beside Jim Shushu with a clear banner.

Is this Aunt Jenny's conspiracy?

Want to numb his nerves and the Lakers?
After Du Kang finished talking about his thoughts and worries to his most capable assistant, Steve Clifford, Clifford was silent for a moment, and finally looked at Du Kang with complicated eyes.

"Du, is there a possibility that we are really very, very strong now?"

"..."

After Clifford finished speaking, Du Kang looked at Clifford as if he was looking at a troublemaker who wanted to harm him.

However, after thinking about Du Kang's situation for a while, Clifford was very understanding.

Anyone who is in Du Kang's position will have the idea that I'm not strong enough, I'm not strong enough, because I don't have a 100% winning rate yet.

Yes, this season, Du does not allow even a 0.1% chance of failure, any chance of failure will bring a sense of insecurity.

The Lakers are strong now, but are they really perfect?
Clifford did not know.

Presumably Du should know.

"Du, maybe in your opinion, we can still be stronger, but the fact is that we are really very strong now."

"is it?"

Du Kang thought about it seriously, and there was really no need for Clifford to lie to him.

"Du, I know your worries. We are not a team with a system, a team with a system, a team with a strong system, the strength of A-level can play the power of S-level, and we, even if we have With S-level strength, Du will also be worried that he will only be able to display A-level strength in the end, so this season, you are madly suppressing Kobe, right?"

"..."

Du Kang actually wanted to say that he never thought of suppressing Kobe.

However, thinking of the MP he consumed to simulate Kobe's blacksmithing, it seems that this is really the case.

Although he didn't think about it, he was definitely doing it.

His starting point is to keep Howard competitive.

In fact, if you want to be confident, it's also what Clifford said that you don't want the strength of the S-level to be the strength of the A-level.

When he took over, the Lakers were at least A-level if not S-level, but their performance may not even be B-level. Even if a C-level team loses 12 games in 10 games in the NBA regular season, it is not easy. .

This is the importance of a team's system and chemistry.

"Du, although we don't have such a strong system, our chemical reaction is already very good. You have suppressed Kobe this season very successfully. Our team does not have any player who can surpass the team, including Kobe. , as long as we have the strength of S-level, we will definitely be able to exert the power of S-level."

"Steve, I see."

Du Kang smiled and patted Clifford on the shoulder, very satisfied.

This made another assistant coach Darwin Hamm in Du Kang's coaching office stunned.

What the hell!

Has this thick-browed and big-eyed guy gotten to this extent now?

Does flattering have to be filmed to this extent?
How can I survive this!

As the Lakers' winning streak breaks through 30 games, the changes around Du Kang are more than the return of the Lakers' celebrities.

When Du Kang returned to the apartment that Jim Shushu bought for him, along the way, the neighbors in the community became more enthusiastic about him.

The community where Du Kang lives is a family of senior intellectuals from UCLA University.

They are usually not so sensitive to the NBA and basketball.

"Du, you are doing great in the Lakers. Today my students know that we are neighbors. I hope I can bring them some April Fools' Day gifts. Can you help?"

"Of course no problem."

"Halo, Coach D, can you please sign my kid's basketball?"

"I am very honored and hope to bring joy to his growth."

"Du, there is a party at my house tonight, can you attend?"

"Really, it must be very interesting, but I have to prepare for tomorrow's Lakers game tonight. It's really a pity. Next time you have a chance, don't forget to invite me, okay?"

"Coach D, can you win the game against the Mavericks tomorrow? Can you break the record of the Lakers' 33-game winning streak?"

"I will definitely try my best."

……

……

Du Kang heard a saying when he was in China before, that is, when people around you who don’t understand stocks start talking about stocks, then you have to prepare to clear your position and leave the market.

How similar was the situation around him now.

However, the theory of stocks does not apply to sports competitions.

In the field of sports competition, if people around you who don't understand basketball start to discuss you as the head coach of basketball, then congratulations, you and your team are already recognized as the most popular team.

Dukang is now finally confirmed.

The current Lakers have surpassed the Spurs, Thunder, and Heat to become the most popular team in the NBA.

The Lakers smashed the Quartet's record.

The strength of the Lakers players on the court.

As well as his ability to command and develop players on the sidelines.

All these people recognized the current Lakers.

Yes, it took him 3 months to really turn a team that lost 12 games in 10 games into a popular team recognized by everyone.

When returning home, Du Kang felt a sense of accomplishment.

"I have done a good job in the past three months!"

However, the revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard.

Du Kang's mentality adjusted.

Knowing that it wasn't the world that suddenly wanted to harm him.

However, he is still cautious.

Because, he and Jim have not succeeded yet, they are still not completely safe!

However, the mood must be suddenly enlightened!

Win, win all the way!
Win as much as you can!
The next day, March 3, the Lakers played at home against the Dallas Mavericks.

Kobe, Nash, Wheat, and Howard, who were rested in the last game, all returned.

The Lakers, who played with all their main players, easily defeated the Dallas Mavericks 111 to 91 at home.

Three quarters open at home.

这场比赛霍华德12中7，拿到了全场最高的24分12个篮板，其中前场篮板6个。

科比这场比赛18中4，13分11个助攻4抢断。

易建联这场比赛14中7，18分12个篮板，其中6个前场篮板。

In this game, the Lakers team grabbed 57 rebounds, including 20 offensive rebounds.

After Du Kang developed the backboard style of play before, many teams in the NBA have tried to learn.

In the end, I found that I couldn't learn.

They don't have the masters of iron-making like the four major guards.

The essence of the rebounding flow is to create opportunities for the team's inside players to grab offensive rebounds.

The four guards can use their advanced skills to deceive the opponent's inside defense, so that their own team's inside has a better advantage in rebounding.

It's not enough to have the advantage of rebounding inside.

The rebound has to be within the scope of the competition. It cannot be bounced too far or too close to the defensive player. This requires the skill of the iron player.

No matter how superb the blacksmith's blacksmithing skills are, it is impossible to be 100% accurate. In rebounding, a slight deviation may cause a large error.

This requires rebounding players to have strong athletic ability and sense of rebounding.

To put it simply, it is not that simple to help the flow of the board, and the required conditions are too harsh.

The entire league can be used by the Lakers.

Even the Lakers can't play against teams that are not easy to be fooled inside, such as the Warriors.

In this game against the Mavericks, the Mavericks didn't go all out at all.

For the Mavericks, who have already lost hope of the playoffs, the biggest effect of this game may be the interaction with Yi Jianlian.

Um, yes, interacting with Yi Jianlian.

During the game, Nowitzki kept talking and laughing with Yi Jianlian.

During the interval between the games, Cuban, the owner of the Mavericks who came to the scene, often chatted and laughed with Yi Jianlian.

Even Carlisle, the head coach of the Mavericks, talked and laughed with Yi Jianlian on the sidelines from time to time.

This game was played quite warmly, and everything was said without saying anything.

The Mavericks played warm games.

Of course, Du Kang and the Lakers are also happy to regard this game as a warm-up match.

After defeating the Dallas Mavericks, the Lakers led by Du Kang came to a 33-game winning streak. This record also tied the NBA winning streak of the Lakers led by Jerry West and Chamberlain.

Because of this, after the game, the Lakers held a grand celebration ceremony at home.

Du Kang actually hoped to hold the celebration ceremony after defeating the Grizzlies tomorrow.

But he knew it was impossible.

This is 33 consecutive victories!
Even David Stern is here, how many stars in Hollywood, how many big names at the scene.

If you don't hold a ceremony, you won't be able to do business.

In this celebration ceremony, there is no doubt that Du Kang is the most popular person.

All the audience in the front row wanted to take a photo with Du Kang.

Beckham even brought his wife, children, and family over to take a photo with Du Kang.

At the beginning, Du Kang felt a little uncomfortable, but he gradually got used to it.

Well, the smile on his face has also become more and more professional.

This is the growth of a man.

As the current largest shareholder of the Lakers, Du Kang, who owns 10.4% of the Lakers' shares and carries a debt of 6000 million US dollars (a loan of 5000 million US dollars, installments of 10 years, and an annual repayment of 600 million US dollars.), will definitely not be like Thibodeau in the future. An ordinary head coach like Van Gundy.

As a godfather-type head coach, he needs to get used to these things.

"Du, how does it feel to be the protagonist of the NBA?"

Just after Du Kang sent away the last person for a group photo, a familiar old man came to his side with a smile.

"Mr. Stern, please don't make such jokes."

Du Kang smiled and shook hands with the old man.

"After I became the president of the NBA, I never thought that a basketball head coach would become the protagonist of the NBA. After I became the president of the NBA, I have been trying to prevent another cardinal from appearing. I always think that , The NBA should belong to the players and fans, not the NBA of other people, but the appearance of Coach D has changed my thinking."

"..."

Fuck, Mr. Stern, are you talking too highly of me?

"I'm not kidding, the ratings you created with the Lakers this season, even if you saved the NBA, it's not an exaggeration."

"..."

Damn, another boss who can read minds!

Du Kang looked at Jerry West not far away.

This David Stern is also very strong!

Or is my facial management not professional enough?
Seeing Du Kang's silence at this time, David Stern smiled and continued.

"Coach D, do you think the NBA belongs to offensive players?"

"of course not."

This time Du Kang did not remain silent.

"Since this is the case, why can't the NBA belong to the coach, or to other people's NBA?"

David Stern also looked at Jerry West not far away at this time.

When he chose to leave the NBA, he was not allowed to say that he was retiring, only that he left.

The word retirement always has a feeling of consummation.

He chose to leave, not to retire with consummation, but to leave with regret.

He clearly felt that the bottleneck of the NBA had arrived.

No player can drive the NBA beyond the Jordan era.

No matter how hard he and the NBA pushed behind, it was useless.

In order to promote Jordan who can drive the NBA, the rules of the game have been changed beyond recognition by him and the NBA.

In the end, instead of getting better and better, the NBA became more and more out of his control, falling rapidly.

NBA ratings are the most intuitive data.

Dive all the way.

Until Coach D and his Lakers appeared.

"Coach D, I am the person in this world who most wants you to succeed."

"..."

Looking at David Stern's back, Du Kang was completely stunned by David Stern's words just now.

"Mr. Stern is wrong. I am the person who wants you to succeed the most in this world."

"..."

Du Kang turned his head to look at Jim Shushu, who was already standing beside him with a serious face, and was speechless again.

Jim Solo, is your war with Aunt Jenny over yet?
Is it really good to open up this kind of battlefield of the heart now?

"After failure, I am the one who will go to hell with you, but he is not."

"..."

Du Kang looked at the unusually serious Jim Shumai at this time, and when he came back to his senses, Du Kang smiled and nodded.

"We're not like him."

Yes, the starting point of interest is different.

Or, Mr. Stern is all about profit.

And he and Jim Shushu share weal and woe and are completely bound.

and many more?

Jim Milo, have you gotten smarter lately?

"what happened?"

"No, it's nothing. I always feel that Jim is in a good mood recently."

"is it?"

A smile finally appeared on Jim's face.

"Thanks to you."

Jenny was almost cornered.

Because Du Kang led the Lakers to win consecutive victories, he has a great advantage now!

This affectionate game with the Mavericks is just a warm-up match.

The real challenge for the Lakers is the back-to-back home game against the Memphis Grizzlies on March 3.

Speaking of the Grizzlies, many Lakers fans may have mixed feelings this season.

D'Antoni was dismissed by the Grizzlies.

Being hit by the Grizzlies on the ground was also the time when D'Antoni's Lakers' conflicts were maximized. At that time, D'Antoni still wanted to let Du Kang and Hamm, the assistant coaches of the Lakers, take the blame.

It can be said that for the Lakers, the Grizzlies are a very special opponent.

It is a team that can test the difference between the two Lakers.

D'Antoni's Lakers.

Coach D's Lakers.

Only when facing the same opponent can people see the biggest differences and changes clearly.

"Du, I'm a little scared!"

For Hamm, the Grizzlies really are a bit of a shadow.

The Lakers don't want to lose this game.

The Grizzlies certainly don't want to lose this game.

Now is the critical moment for the Western Conference 3.

湖人现在50胜25负，灰熊现在49胜24负，快船现在49胜25负，这场比赛快船和火箭会有一场比赛，掘金现在50胜25负。

The Clippers play the Rockets, and the Rockets are very likely to lose.

In other words, if the Lakers can beat the Grizzlies in this game, the Grizzlies will fall directly from fourth to sixth.

If the Lakers win, they will jump directly to third in the West, and if they lose, they will fall from fourth in the West to sixth in the West.

Looking at the records of the four teams in the Western Conference, it is really exciting.

So, this game is really more than just a game where the Lakers broke the NBA winning streak.

At the same time, it is also a game that affects the ranking pattern of the Western Conference.

Thunder coach Scott Brooks.

Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich.

Nuggets head coach George Karl.

All of them are staring at the TV right now.

Neither the Thunder nor the Spurs now want the Lakers to be their second-round opponents.

The Nuggets' George Karl doesn't want the Lakers to be his first-round opponent.

On March 3, Staples was once again packed.

In the stands, David Stern, Jerry West, Magic, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Larry Bird, Russell, NBA legends and big names, all on the sidelines for this game.

"If the Lakers win this game, they will be able to create a new NBA winning streak record!"

"34 consecutive victories...Who would have thought that this record, which was considered impossible to break, would be broken by this Laker?"

"Hahahaha, this is where Coach D is so great!"

Hearing O'Neal's shameless praise of coach D, Barkley felt contemptuous in his heart, Falk, Shaq is getting more and more traffic-savvy now!
"Shaq, what kind of game do you think this will be? The Lakers are good at offense, and the Grizzlies are good at defense. The Lakers are the best offensive team in the NBA at this stage, and the Grizzlies are the best defensive team at this stage."

"I don't know whether this game will be an offensive battle or a defensive battle, but I do know that Dwight Howard will definitely be very miserable in this game, hahahahaha..."

O'Neill smiled happily.

As far as Howard's style of play is concerned, it is indeed quite miserable against the black and white bears.

"So, now Howard is practicing three-pointers on the court."

After Barkley finished speaking with a smile, O'Neill and Kenny Smith next to him all laughed unkindly.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Listen to this melodious voice.

Even the Grizzlies on the court who were also doing shooting drills were laughing and whispering.

On the sidelines, the head coach of the Grizzlies, Hollins also had a knowing smile on his face.

Don't talk about these people.

Even the Lakers fans at the scene laughed happily.

"Our Coach D is invincible. Let me declare first that our Coach D is invincible! However, no matter how invincible Coach D is, he can't save Howard's shot!"

"Hahahaha, our coach D is actually teaching Howard to shoot three-pointers seriously, hahahaha..."

On the court, Du Kang personally stood beside Howard and Kobe.

Kobe shoots Howard (5000 times)
Howard shoots Kobe (4990 times)
The two shot each other 1000 times, and Howard's three-point attribute has reached 40.

The two shot each other 2000 times, and Howard's three-point attribute became 50.

The two shot each other 3000 times, and Howard's three-point attribute became 60.

The two shot each other 4000 times, and Howard's three-point attribute became 70.

Now Howard's three-point attribute is 70.

With a three-point attribute of 70, if you shoot carefully, your shooting percentage will not be that bad.

Mainly, Kobe was defending up front.

In addition, Du Kang asked him to increase his shooting speed.

The state of mind plus flustered, that's it.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Another series of bangs!
"Ding, your player Dwight Howard and Kobe Bryant have reached 5000 three-point shots, and Howard's three-point attribute has been adjusted to 80."

Seeing the new prompt on the system panel, Du Kang breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at the referee next to him.

Just at the buzzer, Howard and Kobe completed 5000 three-point shots.

"Dwight, it's ok, you've done a good job, and the new stage is complete."

Du Kang smiled and patted Howard on the back.

"Coach, is the new phase really complete?"

Howard was excited.

He doesn't care about the laughter around him now.

Because he himself is the one who can best appreciate the progress of his three-pointers.

This method of coaching is really useful!
"Coach, can I really pull out to the three-point line on the court?"

"can."

After Du Kang finished speaking, Howard wanted to hug Du Kang excitedly, but was blocked by Kobe next to him with one hand.

Fake!

Dead old man, can you get out!

Howard looked unhappy.

Kobe also looked unhappy.

Although Howard is all bang bang bang bang, but a man who gets shot so much, who can enjoy it?

The interaction between Du Kang, Kobe and Howard made the Lakers fans laugh even more.

Even the TNT trio in the commentary booth were laughing at this moment.

"If I'm not mistaken, Coach D was indeed praising Howard's three-point practice just now, right?"

"Hahahaha, Kenny heard it right. We all heard the live radio. Coach D is indeed praising Howard's three-point shot. Hahahaha..."

Listening to the laughter of the TNT trio on TV, Budenholzer frowned in front of the TV.

"Bobo, Coach D should be joking with Howard, right?"

"Do you believe Coach D can practice Howard's three-pointer?"

Popovich looked out at the night and smiled.

"There is no sun at night."

Budenholzer felt very reasonable after listening to it.

When the sun is out at night, that is when Howard can practice three-pointers.

He didn't even understand free throws, so he could practice three-pointers?
This is no joke what it is.

"Coach D is probably trying to confuse Hollins."

Budenholzer thought so.

Hollins on the court thought so too.

"Do you think I'm an idiot?"

The Grizzlies players looked at each other.

"of course not!"

"Coach D thinks I'm an idiot. I'll be fooled by him. Ignore Howard's three-pointer. Howard doesn't have a three-pointer. If Howard really pulls it out, don't worry about him."

"Boss, we are not idiots."

"..."

Randolph's words made Hollins speechless for a while.

Yeah, so is Coach D an idiot?

Who can he deceive with such a conspiracy?
So, who is the idiot?
