Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 108 The 'Magical' Kobe and the Daily Life of the Lakers Training Facility

After the Lakers defeated the Grizzlies at home to break the NBA's record of 33 consecutive victories, public opinion throughout the NBA is focusing on the Lakers.

It not only opened up the Hollywood market for Howard and UAE.

It also brought more trouble for the Los Angeles Lakers.

Now Los Angeles has gathered countless media from all over the world.

Let's just say that the Lakers led by coach D and the four guards have completely left the circle. This team is no longer in the NBA circle, nor is it in the basketball circle. The sports circle is too small Yes, even if you don't usually read sports news, now you know Coach D, the four guards, Nash Howard YI and the Los Angeles Lakers.

On the day of the game between the Lakers and the Grizzlies, there was also an away game between the Clippers and the Rockets.

The Rockets are without James Harden, and the Clippers are without Billups. Logically speaking, the Clippers will easily beat the Rockets.

The final result was that the Rockets defeated the Clippers in three quarters.

It can only be said that this is a basketball game, and anything can happen.

And the Clippers fell victim to that uncertainty.

This also directly caused the Los Angeles Clippers to fall to the sixth position in the West.

Los Angeles has now rushed to third in the West, and the Los Angeles Clippers are sixth in the West.

It can be said that the night of March 3 was definitely a double blessing for the Lakers.

The Clippers' loss to the Rockets was originally just a technical aspect of basketball.

But many theology enthusiasts said that the destiny of the NBA is already in the Lakers.

It can only be said that the Lakers are too hot recently, and everyone wants to come over to catch traffic.

So now you can see any weird remarks around the Lakers.

As for the current changes of the Lakers, Mr. Zhang Lili, who is a front-line commentator and reporter of CCTV, sees the squid girl most clearly.

On the afternoon of April Fool's Day, Teacher Zhang Lili, Squid Girl and the CCTV crew came to the training hall of the Los Angeles Lakers.

The outside of the training hall can be described as a sea of ​​people.

"Mr. Zhang, there are more people outside the Lakers training facility today."

Squid Girl blinked her big eyes, her cute and round face was full of pride except surprise.

Look, these people, whether they are American media or overseas media, all have to wait outside.

The only media reporters who can enter the Lakers training hall are the top international news agency media and the cooperative media of the Lakers.

CCTV is just the cooperative media of the NBA, not Xinhua News Agency, and logically speaking, it cannot enter.

But who allowed them to go through Coach D's back door?

With special treatment!
"Zhang, I heard that Coach D is going to practice a new style of play in the Lakers team today. Is it true?"

"Zhang, I want to temporarily join CCAV, is it still too late?"

"Hi, Teacher Zhang, we met before, have you forgotten? I am Xiao Wang from Lijiapo."

……

……

"Beautiful Miss Rachel, may I invite you to a Shakespeare play tonight?"

The proud cuttlefish girl looked at the handsome white man running over with disdain in her eyes. She was indeed handsome, but since she met Coach Xiao Du, she was already immune to handsome men of this level.

Compared with some handsome Xiaodu coaches, his temperament is too bad!

At the sixteenth year of that year, at Fengling Ferry, he saw Yang Guo and missed his life.

On the [-]th of this year, on the coast of the South China Sea, a curtain of Youmeng was awakened.

Alas, only now can I understand Guo Xiang's state of mind.

Along the way, coach Xiao Du, who wanted to make himself dream every night, and the handsome guys of various colors surrounding him, instantly became dull.

Because of the special care of Coach D, Teacher Zhang and Squid Girl are definitely celebrities in the current NBA media circle.

"Mr. Zhang, is Coach Xiao Du really practicing a new style of play today?"

"I haven't heard of it, but the time for the playoffs is approaching, and the possibility is very high."

Teacher Zhang said happily.

Compared to the squid girl's vanity.

He is really happy.

Chinese basketball has already reached a dead end.

After Yao Ming retired, he relied on Ah Lian alone.

Seeing that Chinese basketball is about to follow in the footsteps of Chinese football.

Unexpectedly, coach Xiao Du turned out to be born.

With his own efforts, he saved Chinese basketball.

He himself became the No.1 coach in the basketball world (the first famous coach).

Under his retraining, Ah Lian also exuded a bright light.

Now many NBA teams are waving money, just waiting for the offseason to dig the UAE.

If you didn't have the maximum salary, you would be ashamed to come here to poach people.

Soon, after Dayao, there will be a new top-paid Chinese player in the NBA.

When Teacher Zhang and CCTV's frontline team came to the Lakers training hall.

At this time, the training hall was already crowded with people.

"Sister Rachel."

"Long time."

Squid Girl used to dislike Penguin.com, a female anchor who came out to sell.

Well now.

Not only is the equipment very professional, but the technology is also professional.

Obviously you can make money lying down, but you have to get up and work hard on your own.

This Miss Jiujiu is considered a celebrity in the circle.

Ugh.

Coach Xiao Du, it's not just one or two people who really changed.

Looking at the professional reporter equipment on her body, the smile on Squid Girl's face was very sincere.

"Teacher Zhang."

"Xiao Wang, is Coach Xiao Du practicing new tactics today?"

"No, it's still a fixed confrontation between yellow and blue. I haven't heard of training new tactics."

Wang Gan hesitated to speak.

After all, the whole of China knows that Mr. Zhang is a loyal Kemi.

"Oh, it's the yellow-blue competition again."

"Well, Mr. Zhang, maybe Kobe can win this time."

"..."

The smile on Teacher Zhang's face disappeared instantly.

Wang Gan wanted to laugh now, but he didn't dare to laugh, it was too uncomfortable.

The most famous training program for the Lakers is the yellow-blue match.

In the yellow-blue match, the yellow team led by Kobe has never even won.

This is a secret that only these internal reporters know.

"Fuck, O'Neill is here!"

I don't know who shouted, Teacher Zhang and Wang Gan immediately looked behind.

Sure enough, a fat man who smiled like a chrysanthemum bloomed swaggered in.

O'Neal, one of the greatest players in Lakers history.

He can visit the Lakers' training facility, and no one can stop him.

Just like a magician, if Kareem Abdul-Jabbar wants to come in, Du Kang can't stop him.

As long as he doesn't come in with a TNT camera crew.

only……

Looking at the pile of professional equipment in O'Neill's hands.

Wang Gan was secretly startled.

What the hell!

TNT really couldn't help it!
Now the Lakers and Coach D are really hot.

Any bit of Lakers news can cause explosive attention.

The ratings of a random Lakers game in the United States easily broke through 1500 million ratings.

The ratings of 2000 million are also ordinary.

When playing the Warriors, it even rushed to 2500 million.

The game with the highest ratings in the NBA was Game 1998 of the 6 NBA Finals, with 3589 million viewers.

After Jordan is gone.

In the 1999 finals, it dropped to 1600 million in an instant.

In the 2002 OK finals, the ratings continued to drop to 1600 million.

Then the Spurs and Pistons were even worse in those years. David Stern, who fell, doubted his life.

Finally, in 08, 09, and 10, the Lakers and Lukai rose, and the finals returned to the 1500 million-level ratings.

In 10 years, it rushed to 1800 million.

Although the finals in recent years are not as good as in 10, they are still above 1600 million, which is still possible and considered stable.

But, this is the finals.

The Lakers are now playing the regular season.

The regular season had the same ratings as the finals.

TNT can't stand it.

It can only be O'Neal.

O'Neal endured until now and started to sell the Lakers for traffic, so he already has a lot of affection for the Lakers.

He is someone who dares to kiss Howard's ass!

Amidst the whispers of all the reporters, O'Neill, who came in with a small live broadcast device, walked straight towards Du Kang.

Seeing such a heavily armed O'Neill.

Du Kang was stunned.

"Shaq, what are you?"

"Live, I want to broadcast the Lakers' yellow-blue game live."

Du Kang suddenly realized.

The yellow-blue confrontation in the Lakers is very famous.

Legend has it that coach D used the yellow and blue match to bully Kobe, suppress Kobe, squeeze Kobe away, kill Kobe, abuse Kobe, and wanted Kobe to get out of the Lakers consciously.

Of course, this is the legend of the previous yellow-blue match.

The current legend has become that Coach D still pities a veteran like Kobe, and hopes that he can consciously be Howard's younger brother and recognize the reality. Now the Lakers have entered the era of Coach D and Howard.

After all, coach D's assisting flow is to use Kobe and the four major guards as consumables, to create opportunities for Howard to make a second offense and offensive rebounds, and to brush up offensive data for Howard.

Now that coach D has developed Howard's three-pointer, Howard will definitely become one of the greatest centers in NBA history in the future.

In this reality, Kobe should be a little more conscious.

In short, TNT has long wanted to satisfy the curiosity of fans and netizens, and came to broadcast a live broadcast of the Lakers' yellow-blue match.

But, Coach D is not allowed.

So TNT has no way.

O'Neal didn't plan to sell the Lakers for traffic before, and still kept a little bottom line, which made TNT even more difficult.

Fortunately, the turning point finally appeared in the last game.

Amidst Howard's laughter, he stood in the middle of the court with his hands on his hips and helped O'Neal fulfill the bet.

Howard also exhausted a wave of exhaust gas by the way.

At that time, the entire Staples was laughing.

The audience in front of the TV also burst into laughter.

The effect of the show exploded in an instant.

At the same time, O'Neill's heart, which still had a little bottom line, was completely shattered and blackened.

"Coach D, aren't you welcome?"

"Do not."

Du Kang looked at O'Neal with narrowed eyes and smiled.

"Shaq, you can do whatever you want."

……

……

April Fool's Day.

The Spurs have a game against the Grizzlies today.

However, at this time, Popovich did not appear in the training hall of the University of Memphis.

Instead, stay in the hotel room.

Prepare to watch the next yellow-blue matchup of the Lakers.

O'Neal live.

"Bobo, I heard that the Lakers' yellow-blue matchup was used by coach D to bully Kobe. Listen, O'Neal said that Kobe has never won any of the past yellow-blue matchups."

"Coach D's method is really high. He actually used this method to persuade Kobe, make Kobe obey the team, and make Kobe trust his teammates."

"..."

After Budenholzer was taken aback for a moment, he instantly understood the meaning of Popovich's words.

So, the yellow-blue match that coach D played in the Lakers was not for Kobe? ,

No, it was indeed to fuck Kobe, but not that kind of shit, but that kind of shit? !

……

……

"Hey, Mamba, I heard that the yellow-blue match, have you ever won a game?"

After warming up, Kobe, who was just putting on his shoes, looked up with a vicious stare.

He almost couldn't help but slapped him just now.

Ok.

The sequelae of dreaming.

In the dream, apart from Yao and TMC, anyone on the Rockets would beep beep at him, and he would just slap him when he raised his hand.

Played so small that Van Gundy became his assistant coach in a dream.

Playing Alston, the streetball king, became his dribbling guard, well, the dribbling guard with the best ball-handling skills in NBA history.

But this is reality.

Ok?
Do you want to bring this dead fat man to the Rockets in a dream, and then I will bring Yao, TMC and those trained Rocket boys to kill him?
"Mamba, this game, do you want to avenge me, kick Howard's ass hard, Mamba, don't go, Mamba."

In the TNT studio, seeing O'Neal harass Kobe so much, Barkley and Kenny Smith laughed crazy.

And the audience in front of the TV laughed like crazy at this time.

"Mamba, aren't you scared of Howard already?"

"..."

Kobe finally stopped his steps, turned around, and gave O'Neill a hard look.

Looking at Kobe's back, a smile appeared on O'Neal's face.

Hehe, dead viper.

You couldn't beat me back then, you can't beat me now!

The Lakers' yellow-blue confrontation has not yet started, and O'Neal is shooting everywhere at this time.

Maizi dozed off under the basket.

While dozing off, he waved the whip in his hand.

Oden, who was practicing his footsteps under the basket, was trembling with fright when he heard the crackling sound of the whip, but his footsteps were not chaotic at all.

O'Neill walked all the way, and came to his favorite Carter's practice place.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

What the hell!

These crazy dunks one by one left O'Neill dumbfounded.

Fans online were also stunned.

"Fuck, is this a 36-year-old veteran?"

"Are UFO's knees made of steel now? They are not afraid of consumption at all!"

"Isn't this more domineering than the dunks released by the Heat?"

"My emperor's snap button is also very domineering, okay?"

"But, your emperor knows how to split buckles."

"..."

O'Neal reluctantly left Carter and came to Iverson and Nash.

At this time, Iverson and Nash were wearing white coats and masks, and they were practicing against a mannequin.

Seeing this scene, O'Neill was stunned.

"AI, Steve, are you practicing pinching?"

"It's not a pinch, it's a massage."

"You pinched too hard, didn't you?"

"It's not a pinch, it's a massage!"

The audience in front of the TV was also stunned.

Netizens on the Internet laughed like crazy.

"Coach D is so talented, he actually thought of such a way to improve the defense of Nash and Iverson, hahahaha..."

"It's no wonder that there are fewer people playing Nash and Iverson on the roster recently. It's ok, Coach D!"

In front of the TV, Popovich was surprised and sad after seeing this scene.

"Bobo, are you okay?"

"No, it's okay, just, I miss Bruce."

"..."

Budenholzer didn't know how to answer for a moment.

On TV, O'Neal continued to hang out in the Lakers training hall and came to Yi Jianlian and Howard.

The two are hanging a pair of ball pants.

"Warcraft, Yi, what are you doing? These pants look familiar."

"Hahahaha, Shaq, these are the pair of pants you kissed that night. I haven't washed them. They are original. Hang them here for future Lakers players to look up to."

"..."

"Shaq, look, this is where Shaq kissed, and I marked it with red lipstick."

After Howard finished speaking happily, O'Neill felt his stomach churning.

The audience in front of the TV also heard the sound of retching. For a while, the audience watching TNT let out bursts of joyful laughter.

Because Coach D's control over the Lakers training hall is too strict.

Therefore, the audience and fans are very curious about the daily life of the Lakers training hall.

This time, after O'Neal took his personal live broadcast equipment around, the audience and fans had a general understanding of the atmosphere of the Lakers training hall.

That is……

"Are the Lakers always so indifferent during training?"

"What about tactical drills? What about systematic training? Why are you so careless?"

"The training ground of the Lakers is completely different from the training ground of other NBA teams!"

"If other teams have a bunch of players over 35 years old, will the painting style be the same? Although the training ground I stabbed is not as happy as the Lakers, it is also very happy."

……

……

"Coach D is really amazing!"

Popovich sighed again.

General coaches who want to spread their game ideas and tactics to players will increase the amount of training.

This is true even for a famous coach like D'Antoni.

In the end, D'Antoni gave too much intensity, whether it was training intensity or competition intensity, it was great.

In the end D'Antoni overturned.

The Lakers he managed complained a lot.

But Coach D, he doesn't practice tactics, he doesn't practice the system, he plays entirely according to the Lakers players' own playing style.

In the past, like everyone else, he thought it was because Coach D didn't know tactics and didn't understand the system.

Now, obviously, Coach D is trying to lighten the burden on the veterans of the Lakers.

The veterans of the Lakers are too tired this season. Compared with building a system and training tactics, the most important thing is to make them more relaxed.

Even a famous coach like D'Antoni can't see things clearly, but Coach D, a rookie, can actually see it clearly.

Seriously, if he were replaced by D'Antoni, he wouldn't see clearly either.

Because the Lakers need results, they need results, and it is impossible for any head coach to let the Lakers players play on the training ground like Coach D.

In the end, you will fall into a circle of collapse where the more you want to achieve, the less you will achieve.

"Only a head coach with strong command art like Coach D can support the happy training of Lakers players."

Happy education cannot be supported by any family.

"Bobo, the Lakers' yellow-blue confrontation has begun!"

……

……

In the Lakers practice facility.

The yellow-blue match has already started.

It is the yellow team's turn to attack.

Kobe has the ball.

Looking at Kobe's awkward ball control at this time, it seems that he hasn't played for a year.

Iverson froze for a moment.

Of course, after being stunned for a while, Iverson came back to his senses, and immediately grabbed the basketball from Kobe's hand.

"AI, well done, hahahaha!"

Howard rushed across the half court and received a pass from Iverson outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, which was a three-pointer.

The game continues.

After Maizi played around the basket, he played the basketball in his hand to Kobe who was outside the three-point line.

After receiving the ball, Kobe made a decisive three-pointer against Iverson's defense.

Clang!
strike iron.

"Huh? Kobe's shooting arc is like this?"

Looking at Kobe's flat and uneven, high and not high shooting arc at this time, Hamm and Clifford on the sidelines looked surprised.

Du Kang, on the other hand, was smiling.

In the dream, I used Novak's body for a season, and practiced the passing and shooting skills used by Novak's body for a season.

Suddenly changed to Kobe's body, aren't you used to it?

Novak is 2 meters long and has a wingspan of 08 meters. Except for his short hands, he has almost no similarities with Kobe's body.

If he can play 700 games against the Spurs in one night like wheat, he can also become a butterfly.

But Kobe is not like wheat.

It's not like Ah Lian and Dashou, both of them are of yellow race, they are all insiders, their height, wingspan, and body structure are basically similar.

Kobe and Novak, not to mention physical talent, they even have different skin colors.

and so……

"Old Ke, is this airsick?"

Novak is 2 meters, and his shooting vision is of course completely different from Kobe's 08 meters.

"Mengka is really strong, but there are pitfalls."

Especially the player dream card, it is best to use players with similar skills and similar physical talents.

Novak and Kobe are exactly the difference between the South Pole and the North Pole.

After using the Novak player dream card for Corvo...

In the dream, Novak didn't have any physical talent, and it was easy for Kobe to accept Novak's game style.

In reality, Kobe is extremely talented, and he has a set of skills that he has perfected to match this talent.

It is not easy for his body to accept Novak's style of play.

However, Kobe wanted to accept some of Novak's style of play.

Such as Novak's three-point shot.

"Corvo's attributes have become stronger, but the style of the game seems to have suddenly become funny..."

but……

"Corvo is really stubborn, he is trying to integrate, he is walking a road that no one has ever traveled!"

……

……

"Maybe, I have found the reason why Kobe is so strong!"

Popovich's eyes twinkled.

Kobe actually wants to control two shooting styles!

And they are two completely different shooting styles!

Is it possible to draw a square with the left hand and an octagon with the right?

Maybe some gifted people do, but most don't.

Kobe didn't have such a terrifying shooting talent, and even Jordan didn't dare to do such a thing.

But Kobe is trying to do such a thing.

There is no player in the NBA who plays like this. From ancient times to the present, there is no one!
He is different from Coach D, he is a rational person.

Reason told him.

There's no way Kobe's doing the kind of thing that's going to work.

At the last moment, the exhausted veteran should be replaced to protect the backcourt rebounds. Even Duncan, he doesn't believe it!

This is reason!
"Kobe will fail, Kobe will fail!"

……

……

"This kid..."

The expression on Jordan's face was joy, sigh and helplessness.

Many people now say why he didn't practice three-pointers back then.

He didn't like three-pointers back then, and despised three-pointers as an offensive method that could never be efficient.

On the other hand, for players like them who are not very tall and mainly focus on mid-range shooting, three-pointers are another world.

They shoot mid-range shots and are used to leaning back. Therefore, they will also get used to leaning back when shooting three-pointers. This is because the mid-range shooting technique has affected the three-pointer technique.

For defenders under 2 meters.

There are only a few players in the NBA who have trained to the top in both three-pointers and mid-range shots.

Their shooting talent cannot be envied.

If he worked hard to practice three-pointers back then, his three-point skills would definitely affect CIC.

So, in the end, he gave up.

No need, his physical talent, coupled with the CIC, is already invincible.

But Kobe...

"The kid is really motivated to do something like this."

"However, the price of failure is too great!"

Obviously, his three-point skills have affected CIC's skills.

CIC technology has also affected the three-pointer.

"This kid is more stubborn than me!"

……

……

"Kobe in this practice match is so 'amazing'!"

"Dwyane, Coach D finally played Kobe badly!!"

"..."

"Hahahaha, Coach D finally played Kobe bad!!!"

"..."

Wade stared dumbfounded at Kobe on TV.

In order to practice three points.

does it worth?
……

……

"Coach, I..."

"No need to explain, just do what you want. I will always support a player who is willing to work hard to become stronger."

The confrontation between the yellow and the blue was over, and Kobe looked apologetic.

Du Kang stopped him with a smile without waiting for him to finish speaking.

Seeing the smile on Du Kang's face, Kobe was taken aback for a moment, and finally a smile appeared on his apologetic face.

"Coach, thank you."

Watching the back of Du Kang leaving, Kobe stroked the golden wristband on his wrist.

"I will definitely succeed!"

……

……

"Du, you really don't stop Kobe?"

"In this world, he is the only one who dares to do such a thing. Isn't it a pity to stop it?"

"..."

Clifford looked at the expectant smile on Du Kang's face, and fell silent.

Maybe, I know why Coach D is so great.

……

……

"Coach D, not only didn't stop Kobe, he still supported him..."

Wade watched the smiling man encouraging Kobe on TV and was shocked.

The playoffs are approaching, and Kobe suddenly behaves like this. Isn't it the coach D who is most worried and should stop Kobe?
"But……"

Wade was shocked.

Is he really a bad guy coach who will do whatever it takes to win?

He may not be as good as Mr. Pat Riley.

Not as kind as LeBron.

but……

Coach D, definitely not bad!
……
