Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 113 A New Way to Use Dream Cards!

The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Spurs in the last game of the regular season, and Du Kang led the Lakers to end the regular season with a record of 40 consecutive victories.

The Lakers' 40-game winning streak is very terrifying.

This is also different from the previous 33-game winning streak Lakers, that Lakers have always been very strong.

The Lakers led by Du Kang had a record of 17 wins and 25 losses before Du Kang took over.

17 wins and 25 losses before taking over, and 40 consecutive victories after taking over.

Such a comparison can immediately make people feel the powerful and leathery feeling of Coach D.

The Lakers, with 17 wins and 25 losses, were still No. 13 in the Western Conference at the time, and they were still 7 wins away from the Jazz, who was eighth in the Western Conference at the time.

At the end of the regular season, the Lakers' record was 57 wins and 25 losses, which was 42 games away from the Jazz's record of 40 wins and 15 losses. Now the Jazz are 15 games behind the Lakers.

In just half a season, the Jazz surpassed the Jazz by 23 wins. For a while, the American media described it as terrifying.

After the final day of the NBA regular season, the Heat ranked first in the league with a record of 67 wins and 15 losses.

The Heat's record is actually very cowhide.

以杜康接手湖人的1月25号为分界线，那时热火的战绩是30胜12负，这意味着热火后面40场比赛的战绩是37胜3负，胜率超过了九成。

If you change to previous years, add the elements of James.

At this time, the entire United States should be blowing the Heat and James.

This record, plus the league's first record, plus James.

High and low also recommended an MVP.

The grouping has never affected James' award selection.

But this time, James was really uncomfortable.

After playing the last game against the Magic, James attended the post-match press conference with a very heavy heart.

His performance this season is actually quite good. Although the bad guy coach D has created Jordan's law of defense for him, his scoring data has dropped sharply, but his assist data has gone up.

这个赛季的数据是场均23.5分8篮板9次助攻1.7次抢断和0.9次盖帽。

In this era, this data is actually very powerful.

But averaging 23.5 points per game, this is his lowest scoring average since his rookie season.

You must know that before coach D used Jordan's law on him, his scoring average was 27 points per game.

In other words, under the defense of Jordan's rules, his scoring average in the second half was less than 21 points per game.

In fact, his data in the second half of the game was 20.5 points, 8 rebounds and 10.5 assists per game. Facing Jordan's law, this data is actually very cowhide.

But compared with the average of 27 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists in the first half.

He is equivalent to sacrificing 6.5 points for 3.5 assists.

In terms of the scoring benefits created, he seems to have earned it.

But in fact it was a big loss!

Facing the Jordan Law, Jordan can average 30+8+8 per game!

He is only 21+8+11!

How does this compare?
Even if there is a reason for the Big Three to dilute their shot rights.

If he leads the team with a single core, the data should be better.

However, in the same defensive environment, who would believe that he can average 35+ per game when facing Jordan's rules?

This makes others believe that his hard power can match or even surpass Jordan in the future?
Even if he beats the Spurs and Thunder in the finals this season, it will be difficult for him to be recognized.

The only possibility is to defeat coach D and the four guards in the finals, so that he can be recognized and made a god again.

James, who was in a complicated mood, looked at the sparse reporters at the post-match press conference, and his already complicated mood became even more complicated.

And what made his mood even more complicated was that the reporter's first question was not about the match between the Heat and the Magic.

Well, in the game between the Heat and the Magic, there seems to be nothing to ask.

but!
"LeBron, did you watch the game between the Lakers and the Spurs? How do you evaluate the Lakers and Spurs, the two teams that are likely to break through from the West?"

Can you hide it a little bit?

Even if there is nothing to ask about the game between the Heat and the Magic, you can't be so rude, right?

However, the good quality made James not angry, but answered the question patiently.

"I watched it for more than ten minutes during the intermission. The Lakers and Spurs are both very strong teams. The matchup between Coach D and Bobo is very interesting."

"LeBron, do you think Coach D can lead the Lakers to beat the Spurs in this game to complete the 40-game winning streak?"

Ok?
It's over, isn't it?
James was crying.

I don't know if coach D's winning streak is taboo here?
"It's hard for me to predict this. I need to wait and watch the game to find out."

James gave a forced smile.

"Which coaching style do you prefer, LeBron, Coach D, or Bobo?"

Fake!

James felt that he really wanted to curse people now!
You are enough!
As an EQ freak, how would he answer this question?

"LeBron, are you holding Sun Tzu's Art of War?"

After hearing this question, the smile on the face of James, who was crazy about MMP, finally became brighter.

"Yes, it is a very great book."

"Is this influenced by Coach D?"

"No, I was reading this book before Coach D influenced me. This book taught me a lot. It's really great."

"LeBron, can you tell us how many times you watched it?"

"Six times."

"LeBron, I can see that you like Sun Tzu's Art of War very much. I have read it for three months, but I haven't finished it once. About this book, which sentence or which fragment has the deepest influence on you?"

amount……

James was a little confused.

Seeing the expectant eyes of the reporters below, James realized that he really had to answer.

"Sun Tzu's Art of War, uh... ah, it has too many famous quotes, and too many fragments in the book, these famous quotes and fragments can be classified into one category, ah... um..."

"But, LeBron, which sentence in it inspired you? Which part reminded you of your departure?"

As the reporter asked, the other reporters off the field were laughing, and James on the stage also smiled when he heard the laughter from the scene, but this smile was a little awkward.

I have to say that James' personal qualities are indeed outstanding among NBA players.

If it were any other NBA player, he would have glared and left the field at this time.

Even if Du Kang was not angry when he met such a ruthless and troublesome reporter, even if he still had a smile on his face, his eyes would definitely be squinted.

But James was still smiling and answering the question seriously.

"I mean this book is very long, there are too many sentences that I like, and there are too many fragments that make me empathize... Hahahaha..."

James laughed as he spoke.

Of course, the reporters who asked questions off the court and other reporters laughed together.

"Hahahaha... I mean, there are so many classic languages ​​and fragments in it, I don't know how to choose, but anyway, this is a great work."

No matter how embarrassing it was, James finished answering the reporter's questions.

Seeing the awkward and patient look on James' face, looking at the embarrassed and serious smile on his face.

Even the reporter who caused trouble just now gave the warmest applause after James finished answering.

No way, he felt distressed just looking at it.

After James left, some reporters sighed at this time.

"There are too many packaging, persona, and shackles on him."

"Active? Passive?"

"Does it make sense? Before Coach D appeared, he was the biggest beneficiary."

"That's right, the false society has made many people forget that sincerity is the most valuable quality."

"In fact, it's not that I forgot, but was forced by some people. Those people pointed to the hypocrisy and said, this is the greatest, and you can only watch this."

"That's why Coach D and his Lakers are so popular."

"Is it possible that Coach D will also be beaten by them?"

"Hahahaha, wait and see."

……

……

James really didn't expect that the post-game press conference between the Heat and the Magic would make him encounter such an embarrassing scene.

Although this is already the norm for his press conferences in the second half of the season, this time it was particularly embarrassing.

Looking at the Art of War by Sun Tzu in his hand, James finally sighed.

Still did not throw.

"LeBron?"

Looking at James who was walking and sighing.

Heat coach Spoelstra froze for a moment.

Was this stimulated by something?

"LeBron got picked on in the press conference."

Being made things difficult again?
"Ah, Mr. Riley."

Spoel was a little surprised to see Pat Riley appearing beside him.

Mr. Riley didn't go to Los Angeles tonight?

After all, Mr. Riley is also from the Lakers.

Tonight's game between the Lakers and the Spurs is a grand event for people from the Lakers.

"Mr. Riley, is it because of Coach D again?"

Spoelstra asked curiously.

Pat Riley nodded.

it is as expected.

Spoelstra sighed.

To be fair, for coach D, his mood is actually very complicated.

Envy, jealousy, respect?

These are definitely all there.

Of course, there are also thanks.

If it weren't for Coach D, the Heat wouldn't be stronger.

James' style of play allows the Heat, which has S-level strength, to only display A-level strength.

And now, under the leadership of Coach D, after other teams in the league follow the Jordan rule against James, the Heat can now display their S-level strength.

For the sake of data, James was forced to start playing off the ball like Jordan.

In order to protect the hit rate, he was forced to start sharing the shots with Bosh and the ball with Wade.

In order to still become the Heat's player with the best data and best performance in the finals, and finally won the FMVP, James himself finally took time to improve himself and develop new styles of play.

Although James' scoring data has declined, the Heat's strength has become stronger.

If it comes to the finals, James will really integrate well with the brand-new Heat and display S-level strength.

Then he really needs to thank Coach D.

"Mr. Riley, is there something we need to do?"

"No, LeBron is a smart guy, he knows what's best for him."

Spoelstra hesitated to speak.

"Be afraid, LeBron is too smart..."

He dare not say this.

Because he is well aware of Mr. Riley's affection for LeBron.

After all, LeBron is the almost perfect white moonlight in his mind.

The striker that fits Mr. Riley's five-forward strategy, LeBron, may be the most perfect at present.

At this point, Wade can't compare.

"Eric, what about TMC?"

"Mr. Riley, TMC is of course very good..."

and many more! ! ! !
Um? ! ! !

Fake!

Is it! ! ! !
……

……

After the game between the Lakers and the Spurs, both teams showed their cards in this game.

Coach D squeezed out two Duncans in the Lakers.

Popovich held back UCLA cuts on the Spurs.

The entire NBA is buzzing about the playoff prospects of the Spurs and Lakers.

Many people now think that the Lakers and Spurs are the two strongest teams in the West.

Such two strong teams did not meet in the Western Conference Finals in the end, but in the Western Conference Semifinals.

This is too cruel.

After the game against the Spurs, Du Kang gave the Lakers a day off.

The game between the Lakers and the Spurs is April 4.

The first game of the playoffs between the Lakers and the Clippers is at 4:20 pm on April 5.

Du Kang's selection of the Spurs as the Lakers' second-round opponent may cause a lot of controversy.

The TNT group on TV is frantically discussing this matter.

"If I were coach D, I would definitely not win this game. After the Spurs took out UCLA's air cut, I would take the initiative to drop to fourth in the Western Conference. I will play the Thunder in the Western Conference semifinals and the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals."

"So, Shaq, you are not Coach D, you don't have the wisdom of Coach D, the Lakers are third in the West, and they play the Clippers in the first round. Even if the plane goes to the away game, even if they play seven games, they will be at home every game! How important such a schedule is to a veteran team, do you know?"

"Charles, maybe what you said makes sense, but, is this the reason you think Coach D chose to play the Spurs? Man, when the Spurs played the UCLA air cut, the Lakers couldn't defend the Spurs at all, and Kobe, the Lakers' most stable offense, Now that he has been completely ruined by Coach D, what's the use of recharging his energy and breaking through the second round? If he can make it to the Western Conference Finals, maybe Kobe can recover a little bit?"

"No, no, I don't think Coach D has any considerations. Also, does Shaq think that the Spurs can defend against the Lakers?"

"It can't be defended, but the Spurs can defend the Lakers without a system one-on-one. Even if the Lakers players are strong in singles, I don't think they can beat the system. They don't have that strong physical strength. This is from Yi and TMC. After playing halftime, it can be seen that in the playoffs, the Spurs will give more strength, and Kobe, who has this physical strength, can't output now, Charles, I don't believe you don't understand."

This time TNT's Tiantuan's NBA regular season summary, it is rare that there is no gag effect.

The discussion was still very dry.

In fact, they are the top group of players in NBA history.

Although the concept of basketball is different, the vision is actually not bad.

Moreover, the TNT Tiantuan summarized the NBA regular season this time, and invited 100 experts and celebrities to score the 16 NBA playoff teams.

Du Kang looked like that.

TNT said that its standard is based on the 96 Bulls, and the 96 Bulls are an S-level team.

East side.

The Heat with 67 wins and 15 losses is now rated as an S-level team. The new Heat are now amazingly strong. Without James and Wade, Bosh Ray Allen led the team to do a lot in the sprint of the regular season. Playing the Spurs in the UCLA cut.

Second in the East, the 54-28 New York Knicks are graded A-
The third place in the Eastern Conference, the Indiana Pacers are rated A-, the morale of the team has improved, and the morale has improved, and they can play A-level strength.

Fourth in East, Brooklyn Nets rated A-
Fifth in the Eastern Conference, the Chicago Bulls were rated B+
Sixth in East, Atlanta Hawks rated B

Seventh in the East, Boston Celtics rated B+
Eighth in East, Milwaukee Bucks rated B-
The ratings in the Eastern Conference are very interesting. Except for the Heat's S- team, the rest of the teams don't even have an A-level team, all of them are A- or below.

If the Heat of the Big Three cannot easily break through in the East, it would be a crime.

The whole Dukang was a little skeptical that TNT was deliberately blackmailing the Heat.

However, Du Kang looked at it and really felt that it was the same thing.

West side.

First in the Western Conference, the Thunder with 60 wins and 22 losses is rated as an A+ team. TNT specifically stated that the Thunder is a team whose upper limit can reach S level and the lower limit can be as low as A-level team, depending on Weiss Brook's performance in the game, the most unstable team in the playoffs.

Second in the West, the Spurs with 58 wins and 24 losses, the S-level, UCLA's air cut has not yet achieved great success, but it is already very powerful.

The third place in the West, the Lakers with 57 wins and 25 losses, S-level, the Lakers veteran has no physical problems and can maintain the strength of the S-level. If there is a physical crisis, the combat effectiveness is unknown.

Fourth in the West, the Nuggets with 56 wins and 26 losses, A-level, running crazy, can play A+ level.

Fifth in the West, 55 wins and 27 losses, the Grizzlies, A-level, one of the most controlling teams in the West, is controlled, no matter how strong the opponent is, they can only play the highest A-level strength, the Grizzlies, the strongest in the NBA Five-five kick-off.

Sixth in the Western Conference, the Clippers with 55 wins and 27 losses, Class A, the fastest team in the league.

Seventh in the Western Conference, 47 wins and 35 losses Warriors, A-level, the most accurate shooting team in the league, crazy shooting can play A+ strength, inaccurate shooting, A-, as young and unstable as the Thunder.

Eighth in the Western Conference, the Rockets with 45 wins and 37 losses, A-level.

The painting styles of the eight playoff teams in the West are obviously completely different.

There are two S-level teams.

There is one A+ level team, and this team is crazy and can still play at the S level, it is simply overflowing with talent.

There are 4 A-level teams, and two of them are likely to perform at the A+ level.

Seeing the ratings of the eight playoff teams in the Western Conference by the TNT team, Du Kang was actually looking forward to it.

According to this rating of TNT.

The Warriors made the right shot and could pose a threat to the Spurs.

If the Warriors can really make the Spurs play six or even seven games with the Spurs, then Du Kang really has to thank the Warriors.

Then the Nuggets at No. [-] and the Grizzlies at No. [-] are also very interesting.

The Nuggets are the craziest team to run, and the Grizzlies control the flow. Did the Nuggets run and collapse the Grizzlies, or did the Grizzlies control the Nuggets?

Of the eight playoff teams in the West, six of them are teams with buffs, all of which have their own special skills and supernatural powers.

Such teams are the kind of X-factor teams that are easy to explode.

The only two clean slate teams with no stunts or supernatural powers are the Clippers and Rockets.

In comparison, on the Eastern side, there are only two teams with BUFFs, the Heat and the Pacers.

The difficulty of the playoffs in the East and West is indeed not at the same level.

The TNT team's summary of the NBA regular season mainly discusses the four teams of the Lakers, the Spurs, and the Thunder and Heat.

These four teams are also the four teams they think are the most favorites to win the championship.

Since it is a summary of the regular season, the prediction of the major awards of the regular season is naturally indispensable.

The MVP prediction of the TNT Tiantuan organization, and finally Durant.

A wave of predictions is, Howard, James, Durant, Kobe and Paul

As for the prediction of the best coach of the season, TNT's Tiantuan unanimously chose Du Kang.

This is just a prediction, not a real award.

However, the prediction of the end of the season is still very accurate. Most of the experts recruited by TNT have voting rights.

Therefore, it seems that he is really likely to get the best coach of the season.

"I don't know what the award for the best coach of the season is."

Du Kang is still looking forward to it.

However, the award for the best coach of the season has to wait.

Du Kang first set his sights on the purple glory point that led the Lakers to create 40 consecutive victories.

1 glory point.

You can exchange for a silver dream card from the Glory Store again.

Items such as dream cards are very powerful.

The silver one is very useful, but, with Corvo's lessons learned, Du Kang will naturally not mess around now.

Player-to-player fit is very important.

Ah Lian and Wang Zhizhi fit very well.

Corvo and Novak...

Well, I can only say that thanks to Corvo.

If it were an ordinary person, Du Kang might really screw people up.

After the game between the Lakers and the Spurs, Du Kang's biggest feeling was that after the Spurs started UCLA, the Lakers' defensive players couldn't keep up.

Gasol, Jamison, Artest, Chris Duhon, the pace of these rotation players is too slow.

All loopholes.

As long as the Spurs patiently conduct two more times, everything will be leaked.

Improve their speed and athleticism, that's definitely not going to work.

Dukang doesn't have so many resources now.

Can only be found from existing players.

Now the most athletic rotation player on the Lakers is of course Devin Ebanks, known as Ariza Jr., who knows nothing except physical fitness, defense or offense.

There is also Jordan Hill, apart from a good shot and good athletic ability, he can't defend and has no tactical literacy.

The second is the small guard, Meeks.

Among the three, Du Kang's first choice is of course Devin Ebanks.

Not for any other reason.

Just because Devin Ebanks has the highest affection for him.

The player who was about to leave the team and become a drinking fountain administrator was saved by him.

Because the Lakers rotation has been lacking in athleticism, Du Kang will play him from time to time.

He is usually in the arena, and when he encounters Du Kang outside, although his methods are clumsy, Du Kang will also smile at him.

Therefore, the little Ariza who was rescued by him now has 90 favorability for him.

Taller than both Jordan Hill and Meeks, who barely passed 80.

Du Kang searched for Bowen in the Glory store.

Ok……

Rookie Bowen, silver.

Spurs Bowen, golden.

If the Spurs Bowen is silver, the price/performance ratio is very high.

Rookie Bowen, silver... The price/performance ratio is very average.

The player's dream card, the older the player, the more expensive it is, and the better the player's skills, the more expensive it is.

Du Kang now understood some rules.

Du Kang searched for some players suitable for Ebanks.

Ok……

The price/performance ratio is not high.

Most of the silver NBA players are actually players with good physical fitness and average skills.

People like Novak are actually in the minority.

A Novak for Ebanks?

As far as his tactical ability, defensive and offensive skills are concerned, even if he has a three-pointer, Du Kang would not dare to let him play.

Sun Yue?

Du Kang finally thought about it and still felt that the price/performance ratio was not enough.

"Maybe, I can change my mind."

Du Kang thought of something, his eyes lit up.

"Ding, do you want to exchange 1 purple glory point for 3 normal glory points?"

"Yes."

"Ding, do you want to spend 1 point of glory to buy Zhang Jinsong's player dream card?"

"Yes."

"Ding, do you want to spend 1 point of glory to buy Mu Tiezhu's player dream card?"

"Yes."

"Ding, do you want to spend 1 point of glory to buy the 'Old Dream Card'?"

"Yes."

……

……

The closing game of the regular season between the Lakers and the Spurs on April 4 brought a huge shock to the entire NBA.

In fact, such a shock is not small at all within the Lakers.

It's incredible that Coach D has trained McGrady to such an extent.

Oden was thinking at the time that it would be great if he could receive the education of the head coach himself.

There are definitely not one or two Lakers players who have this idea.

"Greg, Devin, wait a minute."

On April 4, Du Kang said that he gave the Lakers players a day off.

But Oden and Ebanks, the two young water fountain administrators of the team, did not go to Happy, but practiced with the team.

Just when the two were about to leave, the team's assistant coach Ham came in from the outside and handed them two black wristbands.

"Darwin, this, this is..."

The two held the black wristbands in their hands, and they were all excited.

These two black wristbands, without any words, are not Kobe's special wristbands.

However, even if it is just an ordinary standard wristband, it is also a sign of being recognized by the head coach!
Besides the seven Lakers, does anyone have the wristbands given by the coach?
"Wear it well and don't take it off when you sleep."

After Ham left, the two young men were still excited.

……

……

"Do you want to know the meaning of basketball?"

"..."

"Do you want to be truly alive?"

"..."

……

……

Oden was crying.

I knew it a long time ago, so I'm not cheap.

At the age of five or six, he was begging for food with his family. He couldn't even speak Chinese, so he was considered dumb.

When he was seven or eight years old, there was a flood, and other people's homes were having a reunion dinner, so he went home with his family.

He has been wandering from the easternmost part of China to the westernmost frontier.

Auden felt that the real world was already suffering enough.

In the dream, he felt that his real world was like heaven.

In the past seven or eight years, the greatest joy in his life was to practice the footsteps entrusted to him by Master Wheat while wandering alone.

With stones in hand, bricks are used as basketball shots.

The family members thought he was not only dumb, but maybe also a fool.

He is not dumb, he can speak Chinese now, but he is too tired to speak.

Wander from the easternmost to the westernmost.

And wandering from the westernmost to the easternmost hometown.

This time and again, ten years!
Fortunately, now he doesn't have to starve.

in the market.

Oden, who is helping his family sell eggs, is practicing dreamy steps beside the stall while selling eggs.

"You have good footwork, play basketball with me."

Ok?
Auden turned around, dumbfounded.

"Teach, coach!!"

……

……

"Xiao Song, the bugle is sounding, it's time to get up!"

"Yes, coach!"

"That's right, it's not like a local ruffian anymore, it's looking a bit better, have you been working hard recently!"

"No hard work, the coach has worked hard!"

"good very good!"

"Raise the national flag and play the national anthem!"

"Yes, coach!"

……

……

"Ding, your player Oden, the fantasy footstep skill level has been upgraded to purple, please pay attention to check it.

……

"Ding, your player Ebanks has adjusted his ability to 80, please pay attention to check."

"Ding, your player Ebanks, the team spirit has been adjusted to LV2, please pay attention to check."

……

Du Kang's eyes lit up.

Really useful!

Auden's dreamy footsteps enlightenment success, purple!

Ebanks' offense, defense, and hidden attributes have all been improved!

……

……

"Guys, a lot of people say we have no chance in the first round, do you believe it?"

"Guys, TNT says we're going to be swept by the Lakers, do you believe it?"

"I don't believe that the current Lakers are not invincible, but are in danger!"

"Howard doesn't have the ability to attack at the basket, we have Jordan, we can guard him to death!"

"Although TMC is technically invincible, but his physical strength is not good, Griffin can beat him to death at the basket!"

"Yi is indeed very strong, but is our Griffin weak?"

"What's more, the biggest problem for the Lakers now is that their Kobe has been played badly by Coach D, and the Lakers lost the most stable scoring point in the playoffs!"

"As long as we can play with strength and speed in the playoffs, we will definitely be able to beat the Los Angeles Lakers!"

"Guys, it's time for you to face the world!"

The eve of the playoffs between the Lakers and Clippers.

Clippers coach Vinidnagro is doing psychological massage for the Clippers players.

In this round of the series between the Lakers and the Clippers, the Clippers are indeed underestimated.

TNT's NBA regular season summary program is very influential.

As the only team in the West without stunts.

The Clippers were evaluated by TNT as a pseudo-strong team, and they really got the lottery.

Who can bear this?
Vinidnagro also thinks that he is the top lottery when he draws the Lakers!

He said so.

The Clippers players also feel that the Lakers may really be the top pick.

"This Los Angeles Derby, we must be the ones to advance!"

……

……

"Du, do you really want Oden and Ebanks to start this game?!"

"Give them the opportunity to grow, give them the chance to feel the atmosphere of the NBA playoffs, there are not many."

Seeing the smile on Du Kang's face, Clifford and Hamm looked at each other.

Coach D, you are really not afraid of being slapped in the face!
　The aftermath of yesterday's codeword until almost 1 o'clock in the morning, this chapter is late, sorry o(╥﹏╥)o
