Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 11 The silenced Lakers fans!
Before the start of the game between the Lakers and the Jazz, the media suddenly broke the news that Du Kang was going to take Kobe Bryant's main offensive position in this game. Du Kang and Kobe had a fierce conflict.

Jazz head coach Tyrone Corbin is actually skeptical.

Doubt it was a smoke bomb.

After the opening just now, Tyrone Corbin completely believed it.

The Lakers did have serious infighting.

This is very good news for the Jazz.

Kobe is so angry on the court now.

Other Lakers players simply did not dare to face Kobe's gnawing eyes.

Next, Kobe can do whatever he wants on the court, and no one can stop him at all.

Kobe is indeed very strong, but no matter how strong a player is, if the enemy has predicted what he will do next, it can still be defended.

That's how the Jazz are right now.

You can continue to increase defensive power to Kobe.

If one doesn't work, then two, if two don't work, then three, if three don't work, then four!

The bet is that if Kobe can still attack, he won't pass the ball!
After the game restarted, the Jazz relied on the team's offense, and Millsap hit a long-range two-pointer, chasing the point difference to 6-6, and the two sides tied again.

When it was the Lakers' turn to attack, Howard sent the ball to Nash from the baseline. After Nash received the ball, he did not rush forward.

The Lakers are not the Suns, and now the head coach is not D'Antoni. He doesn't need to complete the team's offense within 7 seconds.

Nash dribbled the ball while observing his teammates' running positions. After Howard caught up from behind, he accelerated slightly.

Du Kang watched Nash advance from the sidelines. He was indeed an MVP-level point guard, calm, majestic, and unrestrained.

Jamal Tinsley of the Jazz has been using height and weight to put pressure on Nash, but Nash does not need the help of his teammates and easily breaks Tinsley's press.

It's just that Nash pushes the ball across half court, and the problem arises.

Kobe is asking for the ball, Gasol is asking for the ball, Artest is also asking for the ball.

Howard didn't open his hands to ask for the ball, but he was already actively standing in the pick-and-roll position, preparing to pick-and-roll with Nash, wanting to catch the ball and attack the basket.

Four teammates, everyone wants the ball. This is where Nash's mentality in the Lakers collapsed and he was confused.

Nash is in the sun, he completely dominates the ball, what I give you is yours.

Give it to whoever feels good, so that the sun's offense can go crazy.

In the Lakers, the team's five stars, everyone can control the ball, even Howard, who played one star in the Magic, can also control the ball.

Teammates have the ability to dominate the ball. As a point guard, it is impossible for him to remain indifferent.

If he holds the ball, his teammates will definitely not be happy.

If he can't completely dominate the ball, he can't play his own style.

In the end, Nash chose to sacrifice himself.

Du Kang has been the assistant coach of the Lakers for half a year. He knows very well that among the five stars, the one who sacrificed the most is Nash.

Nash needs to control the ball, and it is best if the ball sticks to him.

But for the happiness of his teammates, as an outsider, he gave up the ball.

Without the possession of the ball, can there be more shots?

After all, Nash can also attack and be a shooter.

I'm also sorry, Kobe has to consume more than 20 shots.

Howard also has the right to shoot, Artest, and Gasol also have the right to shoot.

Nash's indisputable character, in the end, naturally gave up competing with his teammates.

And that's the Lakers' biggest problem.

"The five stars can control the ball and attack. It's redundant. It's really redundant. It's a pity, it's a pity..."

This is not a problem that Du Kang can see. This is what Mike Brown said when he invited Du Kang and Hamm to dinner when he left.

What is Mike Brown's pity?
What does Mike Brown feel is redundant?
"Nash is superfluous. On the offensive end, in this Lakers, his organization and offense are not able to play well. On the defensive end, it is the focus of the opponent's attack. He will lose confidence and confusion the more he plays. After all, he is the MVP. , it is impossible to really be a role player."

"It's a pity that there are so many excellent players..."

Indeed, Kobe, Howard, Nash, Artest, Gasol, are all very good players.

But their functions overlap too much, and they cannot be integrated with a tactical system.

In the end, it became what it is now.

Mike Brown's prediction was accurate. After all, these two problems were the two biggest problems he encountered at the time.

His offensive ability is not good, and there is no offensive system that can pinch them.

As a defensive head coach, he can't solve Nash's defensive problems.

You can't attack, you can't defend, so what's the use of the team?
Mike Brown himself felt that he was not wronged when he dismissed get out of class.

He really can't take this Laker.

Seeing that Nash, who was very chic after halftime and felt like he was in the sun, suddenly became dazed after halftime, which is actually a pity for Du Kang.

However, in the face of Kobe's request for the ball, Nash's one-handed pass was still very pleasing to the eye.

Hit the ground pass, this is his specialty.

In the past, in the Suns, such a ground pass was likely to be exchanged for an assist. In the Suns, he only passed the ball when there was an opportunity.

With the Lakers... if Kobe wants it, he has to give it.

Kobe received a pass from Nash, faced Marvin Williams' defense, turned his back to face up, and was ready to hit the 2-meter Marvin Williams face up.

Kobe wobbled two consecutive dribbles.

Although it didn't fool Marvin Williams, it was indeed picturesque.

However, even if it is scored, it will not be counted as Nash's assist.

Kobe is now more explosive than when he was younger, and Marvin Williams does not believe that Kobe can pass him in one step, so he is not fooled at all.

The front frame is not good, Kobe immediately changed his back, trying to use the back fake to find opportunities.

Kobe's back movement is full of drama, but Kobe has a gold-level fantasy footsteps.

Shaking to the left, shaking to the right, turning around and rushing forward, and then quickly pulling back, this series of pleasing movements almost knocked Marvin Williams down.

The Lakers fans watching the scene exclaimed again and again, fascinated.

"So beautiful!"

Du Kang on the sidelines praised sincerely.

Kobe's foreplay, coupled with the follow-up jumper, is full of beauty!
If you really like basketball, you will definitely be fascinated by it.

Du Kang can be sure that as long as Kobe hits the ball, the more than 2 Lakers fans at the scene will definitely have a collective climax, cheering loudly!

The 2 Lakers fans at the scene are actually ready to climax and cheer.

After all, Kobe scored the first three goals.

Clang!
hiss~
The crisp sound of the basketball hitting the iron made the more than 2 Lakers fans around the court collectively gasp, followed by remorse and pity on their faces, and everyone was sighing for Kobe's attack.

And almost at the same time, Du Kang, who was standing on the sidelines, was already applauding expressionlessly.

Many people are wondering, what is he applauding?
The screen switches to the field!
original!

Another bang!
Dwight Howard, who suddenly came out, almost rode Al Jefferson, and smashed the basketball supported by Kobe into the basket.

"Dwight, well done!"

After Du Kang shouted at Howard in the field, he raised the number '1' to him.

In front of the Jazz's bench, Jazz head coach Tyrone Corbin was very dissatisfied with the Jazz's rebound protection.

First of all, Kobe has scored in the previous three times. Everyone thinks that Kobe has swayed the defense this time, so he should still be able to score.

Secondly, Howard's rebounding advantage is too great!
He is tall, fast, jumps high, has a good sense of smell, and is still full of fighting spirit. There is really no way to do this.

Du Kang raised the number '1' to the field, and Howard on the field gave a thumbs up to Du Kang on the sidelines.

He, Huo, is a man with a vengeance.

If it weren't for Coach Xiao Du's spur just now, he would have been bluffed by Kobe and couldn't grab this rebound.

"Dwight, there are still 14 away from our agreement."

"Coach, don't worry, it must be done!"

Now Howard is full of fighting spirit.

"come on!"

Du Kang patted Howard on the back to show his encouragement.

After encouraging Howard, Du Kang was about to turn around and go back to the coach's bench to sit down.

Turning around slightly, Du Kang saw Kobe's murderous eyes.

Du Kang froze for a moment, then smiled at Kobe.

"Bryant, come on, too."

What the hell!

Howard, who walked past Du Kang and was about to return to defense, almost fell to the ground.

"Coach Xiao Du's mouth is too 'sweet', it's like putting honey on it, it can talk, you must talk more!"

However, Coach Xiao Du, this is too cruel!
Sure enough, he was the ruthless person who went undercover to kill D'Antoni.

This Lakers, from top to bottom, except for me, Huo, there is really no one good person, everyone is black!
but……

"I just like watching Kobe hate him so much, but he can't kill him, hahahaha!"

Howard laughed loudly and returned to the defense.

But Kobe gave Du Kang the third death stare in this game.

"Du, you, what you said just now..."

Hamm looked at Du Kang tremblingly.

"Don't think too much, I really cheer for Kobe."

You call this sincere?

Du, do you think that someone like me is short-hearted?

Darwin Hamm looked at Du Kang and blinked his eyes hesitantly.

And Du Kang looked at the angry black mamba on the field...

Du Kang was actually very sorry that this game was so pitiful.

and so……

This time it was really not to anger Corvo, but to really cheer for Corvo.

only……

Everyone seems to have misunderstood?

Corvo seemed even more angry.

then……

There was a constant clanging of irons on the field.

Du Kang even suspected that the basket on the Jazz's side would be knocked crooked by Corvo.

Since Kobe hit three consecutive goals in the opening game, Kobe's shooting percentage was 12 of 4 in the entire first quarter, that is to say, after the opening three consecutive goals, Kobe was 9 of 1 behind.

It is exactly the same as the simulated situation!

The Lakers, who were leading at the beginning, fell behind after the first quarter.

The score and the difference in points behind are exactly the same!

……

……

"Staples has already silenced. The Lakers played too simple in the first quarter, with a lot of individual offenses. Although the Lakers are full of stars, the Jazz are more like a whole. Coach Xiao Du's job in the Lakers is very difficult."

Penguin's narrator Ke Fan said pertinently.

"Kobe didn't feel good in the first quarter. I hope Kobe can get back to his offensive form in the next game. The Lakers, without Kobe's offense, are basically doomed. Can a five-star team win? It's not normal to have to rely on Kobe alone."

But Yang Huahua next to Fan was still covering for Kobe.

Anyone who is not blind can see that Kobe and Du Kang had a conflict in this game.

But for Penguin's commentary, this cannot be said.

Du Kang is China's first NBA head coach. Although he is an agent, he is also the head coach.

Kobe is one of the most popular NBA stars in China.

These two people have flesh on the palms and backs of their hands.

Both of them have a lot of traffic and supporters.

Anyone standing will be sprayed.

It's best not to say anything.

In the United States, Kobe and Lakers fans on the Internet have already scolded Du Kang.

But on the Chinese side, Lakers fans and Kobe fans on the Internet are all quiet and watching the game seriously, ignoring the conflict between Kobe and Du Kang.

Even, in the lake area of ​​Apu, Du Kang's support is even higher.

"This is Xiao Duge's first game coaching in the NBA, don't lose, I'm willing to trade ten years of being single in exchange for my team's next game, and lead Xiao Duge to win the first victory of his coaching career! "

"I'm also willing to sacrifice ten years of being single!"

"I would too!"

"I'm willing to sacrifice my girlfriend in exchange for Little Duge's victory!"

"Fuck, brother is too much, be careful that your girlfriend will disappear if she sees it!"

"What brothers are called sisters!"

"..."

In short, in the current Apu Lake area, most of the Kemi and Humi are praying for Du Kang.

Also praying for Kobe.

Because, in this game, the Lakers look really dangerous!
Without Kobe, what would the Lakers and Little Doug do?

Don't talk about Hu Mi and Comey.

Even the Lakers fans at the scene have begun to feel uneasy.

They don't feel sorry for Du Kang, but they feel sorry for Kobe and the Lakers will miss this year's playoffs.

If the five-star Lakers can't make it to the playoffs, they will be stared at the pillar of shame. At that time, Kobe, the Lakers, and everyone will be on the pillar of shame together.

If this is really the case, it is too miserable.

The reason why the Lakers fans are so uneasy is not only that Kobe is not in good shape, but also because the Jazz have already shrunk their defense after observing Kobe's poor hand feeling in the second quarter.

Howard's strategy of grabbing offensive rebounds has obviously been blocked.

When Kobe didn't feel good, the Lakers really had no players to attack.

Relying on Howard's second offense is obviously not sustainable.

After playing for 3 minutes in the second quarter, after Kobe played again, he hit the iron again with his first shot.

This time, Howard was also very active in grabbing offensive rebounds.

But the Jazz were good at shrinking the card position. Howard, who grabbed 6 offensive rebounds in the first quarter, finally returned without success.

"In this game, the Lakers are in danger."

Stan Van Gundy said so.

The TV station suddenly asked him to explain this game, and the meaning was very clear.

The Lakers want to support Howard. Is there anyone more suitable to be the head coach of the Lakers than him in this world?

His cooperation with the Magic and Howard is very good.

In fact, Jim Buss did seek him out.

He was hesitating because Jim Buss had no intention of trading Kobe.

If Kobe doesn't leave, how can Howard help him?
Howard can't help, he, the head coach of the Howard department, plunged into the Lakers, isn't this suicide?
Before the Lakers cleaned Kobe, he didn't intend to follow D'Antoni's footsteps.

He hoped that Du Kang, the acting head coach, could clean up Kobe by blowing himself up.

In this way, there is no obstacle for him to enter the Lakers.

"Clean up Kobe..."

It's hard.

The Lakers' victory or defeat is entirely due to Kobe.

Kobe is not in good shape, and the Lakers will lose.

In such a situation, who can do anything to Kobe?
"If the Lakers lose this game, no matter how reluctant Jim Buss is, he will let Du leave."

Kobe has been offended to death, and the game is still lost. If he doesn't leave, who will leave?

"The situation is hopeless."

"But he didn't seem to be panicking at all."

Huh?
Stan Van Gundy looked at Du Kang who was still commanding calmly on the edge of the court, and was also taken aback for a moment.

Du Kang is indeed not flustered now.

Kobe's game was so bad, the Lakers fans at the scene panicked.

Du Kang didn't panic.

The command commands, the pause pauses.

Especially for this pause, Du Kang's call was very timely and the arrangement was very powerful.

Kobe still doesn't obey orders, Kobe is playing Kobe.

But on the Lakers side, Du Kang let Howard and Gasol interact more.

Gasol plays more singles and exerts the power of the second main attack point. Whether it is Millsap or Al Jefferson, in fact, neither of them can defend Gasol alone.

Gasol's more singles can create offensive opportunities for Howard again.

After Gasol attracts the defense, he can pass the ball.

After Gasol attracted the defense, Howard was able to grab a second rebound.

If the inside combination of Gasol and Howard can be linked, it will have a great advantage over the Jazz.

In the past, Howard didn't work hard and couldn't use it.

This game is out.

The Lakers, who looked like they were going to collapse, slowly bit back!
"This kid..."

Phil Jackson in front of the TV looked surprised.

"This kid is a natural coach!"

Before the game started, it was predicted that Kobe's state might not be very good.

After the start of the game, Kobe's condition was really bad. He didn't panic. He first encouraged Howard, and then used Gasol and Howard's double center play to bite the score.

Each step perfectly predicted the situation of the game!

"Is he really a rookie head coach?"

Mayfair Jackson suddenly felt that this rookie who robbed him of the head coach position of the Lakers was very, very unusual!
"Sure enough, he was the one who dared to touch Kobe!"

Obviously, it wasn't just Phil Jackson in front of the TV.

The TV broadcast footage and the Lakers fans at the scene also discovered this.

"Kobe is in such a bad state, the Lakers didn't collapse in the face of the mighty Jazz, not only did they not collapse, but they even bit the score!"

The Lakers fans who had been booing Du Kang all the time stopped booing when they saw Du Kang's close-up on the big screen again.

Looking at the still expressionless young man on the big screen, Jenny Buss frowned.

"These Lakers fans are actually silent..."

"They should be silent."

Jim's voice was still proud.

"..."

This time, Aunt Jenny, unable to refute, looked at the young man on the big screen again.

"His eyes... are so confident!"

It seems to be able to see through everything in this game!
No, he has no such ability!

Mayfair doesn't even have such abilities!

Absolutely not!

It was just an accident!
The Lakers will never win this game!
