Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 12 This rookie coach is a bit dark!
This is a very incredible thing, but it made Tyrone Corbin full of pressure at this time.

Before the start of the game against the Lakers, he was under a lot of pressure.

Although the Lakers are only 13th in the Western Conference, before the game, the entire United States is helping the Lakers calculate how many games they should win in order to become the eighth in the Western Conference and enter the playoffs.

In general, the 13th team in the Western Conference, the media will not take a look at it. A team like shit is still in the playoffs?Dream it!
But this team is the Lakers, Kobe's Lakers, the five-star Lakers.

Therefore, even if they are No.13 in the West, they can put huge pressure on the eighth Jazz in the West.

Under such great media pressure, as the head coach of the Jazz, he was of course panicked.

Fortunately, the conflict between Kobe and Lakers acting head coach Du Kang suddenly broke out before the game, which relieved his pressure and felt that the game was stable.

just now...

Looking at the acting head coach of the Lakers with a calm expression no matter how far behind he is, Tyrone Corbin is a little anxious now.

He's also a younger head coach and he doesn't have that much patience.

He now hopes that the Jazz will quickly defeat the Lakers!
"Gordon, you go!"

……

……

"It seems that the Lakers' strong pursuit of points has put a lot of pressure on the Jazz. The head coach of the Jazz, Tyrone Corbin, couldn't sit still and chose to let the team's young small forward Gordon Hayward come on and replace him. Bad Jamal Tinsley."

After Ke Fan finished speaking, Yang Huahua immediately added.

"As Nash's direct opponent, the game has been played so far, only 9 of 2, and scored a mere 4 points, which is unacceptable. If it weren't for Tinsley's failure to call Nash, the Jazz would not be able Getting bitten back by the Lakers so quickly."

The TV camera was now on Du Kang on the sidelines, trying to capture his reaction when he saw the Jazz coach being forced to change the lineup.

"I guess, Coach Xiao Du must be very proud now..."

As soon as Yang Huahua, the master of psychology, finished speaking, Du Kang slapped her in the face.

Du Kang on the camera, the expression on his face is not the complacency that Yang Huahua guessed, but dignified.

"Teacher Yang, this..."

"..."

Even if she is a master of psychology, Yang Huahua doesn't understand what's going on at this moment.

Not to mention Yang Huahua, the Lakers fans at the scene couldn't understand it.

As a rookie head coach, using his own ability to force the opposing coach to rotate important players at non-rotation time points is something to be proud and proud of.

If you pretend to be dignified in order to show your humility, it is also fine to actually hold your head up high.

But Du Kang, the expression on his face at this time is frowning, deeply frowning.

It's not necessary, is it?

Even the two Van Gundy commentators on the sidelines were puzzled.

"Could it be that Du predicted something in advance?"

"Is it really so magical? I don't believe it!"

After Jr. Van Gundy finished speaking, Stan Van Gundy almost blurted out.

He really can't believe it!
He is the rumored head coach of the Lakers, and his agency is so strong, so what should he do if he becomes the head coach of the Lakers in the future?
However, things are so amazing!
After Gordon Hayward was replaced by Tyrone Corbin, the Jazz's unfavorable offensive situation on the court was fundamentally reversed.

Gordon Hayward, in terms of calling Nash, is not comparable to Tinsley.

On the court, Gordon Hayward received a pass from Randy Foye, and with a sideways thrust, he knocked Nash away. Outside Howard's defense range, he made an emergency stop and made a mid-range hit.

If it wasn't for Howard and Hayward who were defending the Lakers' basket, they would definitely choose to go straight to the basket for a dunk.

"Very, very beautiful catch and break through emergency stop jump shot, the Jazz is a tall young man with very solid skills!"

"In such an anxious offensive and defensive battle, Nash staying on the court is a huge hidden danger to the Lakers. Coach Xiao Du needs to find a way to solve this problem."

"Teacher Yang, do you think there is a solution to this problem?"

"There is no solution."

"..."

Then what you just said is so convincing!

"After all, Nash is a two-time NBA regular season MVP, a legendary player in the NBA, and the Lakers who joined the Lakers with a salary cut. No matter what, it is impossible for Nash to play as a substitute or not to play. It is unbearable and unreasonable."

"Mr. Yang, you are right. Coach Xiao Du is in a very difficult situation now."

On the offensive end, Kobe hit the iron in the front frame.

On the defensive end, Nash made a lot of mistakes in the back.

If Teacher Xiao Du hadn't used the limited resources he could mobilize to hold on, in fact, the Lakers would have collapsed at this time.

This Laker is really a tragedy.

The situation that the Lakers had started to improve was once again in jeopardy because of the intervention of a new force named Gordon Hayward.

What's more terrible is that Nash on the court is becoming more and more confused and less confident.

"Now, can he still face such a situation calmly?"

Mayfair Jackson looked curiously at the young Lakers coach on TV.

At this time in Staples.

The Jazz's offense once again named Nash.

Gordon Hayward, who just played, showed a very good touch.

Another mid-range hit with an emergency stop after breaking through Nash.

The opponent was a dynamic, 23-year-old rising NBA star.

As for himself, he is a 38-year-old veteran with his legs filled with lead.

Such a strong contrast made Nash very painful.

The current state of the Lakers is painful.

His own current situation was equally distressing.

"I really should retire..."

Although unwilling, he really should leave this stage that no longer belongs to him with all the regrets and reluctance.

D'Antoni is gone, the Lakers don't need him anymore...

"Du, we should replace Steve immediately, he has completely lost his defensive confidence!"

The Lakers assistant coach Darwin Ham next to Du Kang was anxious like an ant on a hot pot.

Should Nash be replaced at this time?
Considering the direction of the game, at this time, Nash should be replaced.

but……

Du Kang knew that he couldn't change it!
Du Kang thought about Nash in the mock game.

Nash in that system is not so emotional.

After all, the Nash in the system is a string of data, no matter how smart it is, it seems rough compared to reality.

Nash in the simulated game, although he was also embarrassed by Gordon Hayward, did not collapse.

If Nash in reality is finally defeated by Gordon Hayward, will there be a butterfly effect and the final result of the simulated game will change?

If Nash is replaced now, will there also be a butterfly effect, which will eventually affect the results of the simulated game?
Although he is a rookie, he can also see that Nash is going to collapse.

but!
He can't bet!

There can't be any butterfly effects in this game!

"We can't trade Nash!"

After speaking firmly, Du Kang walked to the sidelines again.

"The rookie coach of the Lakers finally can't sit still!"

"How can a rookie be so calm all the time!"

"Does he think he's a Zen master? He's just a lucky rookie!"

"This substitution will be the beginning of the Lakers' F5 collapse!"

"But he has no choice!"

Du Kang came to the sidelines under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes on the scene and on and off the TV.

He didn't ask for a timeout, nor did he signal the referee to make a substitution.

Instead, he once again shouted to the field.

"Steve, run up, don't worry about what's behind you, trust your teammates behind you, run up, follow him!"

Walking forward with his head down, Nash, who was about to be substituted in the next round, thought he had heard wrong.

Even Kobe, who was advancing with the ball at this time, looked dumbfounded at Du Kang who was shouting beside him.

"I don't need you to guard anyone, I just want Steve Nash who is everywhere on the offensive end and does his best on the defensive end. You can still do it now!"

"Steve, hold your head up and run, you're the MVP!"

Nash, whose mentality of being punished by the Lakers in the past six months, was about to collapse, looked at the young man who shouted at him from the sidelines in disbelief.

"Can I really run?"

He didn't believe it himself.

He thought the whole world didn't believe it.

Unexpectedly, there is still one person who believes...

Nash, who closed his eyes, opened them, and a trace of hope and a smile appeared on his desperate face.

"What a rookie..."

Only a rookie would be so self-righteous, right?

but……

"you're right."

In the past six months with the Lakers, I have humbled Kobe, Gasol, Artest, and Howard...

He almost forgot.

"I'm the MVP!"

Nash withdrew his gaze and didn't look at Du Kang again.

Instead, he looked at Kobe not far away.

"Bryant!"

Kobe returned the ball very quickly, without the slightest hesitation.

After receiving Kobe's return pass, Nash advanced very quickly this time.

Looking at Nash's back, Du Kang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Dwight, what are you doing, run up and catch up with Steve!"

Howard, who was trained by Du Kang on the sidelines, subconsciously wanted to stretch his long legs.

Damn, I was trained like this by a rookie head coach? !

And, I actually listened!
that's amazing!

Howard looked at Du Kang in shock.

He himself felt amazing.

"Dwight, I can't lose this game, and you can't lose either. Protect Steve well, keep us behind, and hold up our sky!"

Du Kang slapped Howard hard on the back.

Howard was so scared that he straightened his waist straight.

"Don't worry, Los Angeles tonight is a no-fly zone!"

Howard finished speaking confidently, and quickly followed Nash.

Du Kang, on the other hand, heaved a sigh of relief and turned back to his coach's bench.

Why did the simulated Lakers, Nash's defense be so embarrassing, and they didn't collapse?
Because, Howard in this game is different!

"Darwin, are you all right?"

After Du Kang sat down, he looked at Ham, who was looking at him dully, with doubts on his face.

"Du...you..."

Not for Nash?

Continue to believe in Nash?

Is this... blind?

In the end, Ham still held back all the words in his stomach.

Looking at Du Kang on the field again, the unknown right hand tightly clenched into a fist.

This is the first game he has commanded, and he doesn't know if the butterfly effect will change the outcome of the game.

He must prepare for the worst!

We must bring the game back to the predetermined track again!
As long as the game is pulled back to the predetermined track, there is no need to panic, no need to be nervous!
The Lakers can win!

I can turn positive!

Jim Milo made the right choice!

……

……

"The Lakers, actually hold on again?"

Phil Jackson looked at the Jazz and Lakers who were playing inextricably again on TV, his face was full of surprise.

That rookie didn't trade for Nash in such a panic as he expected.

If Nash is not replaced, this game will definitely be lost, and he will get out.

If Nash is replaced, the Lakers F5 will definitely collapse, and he still has to get out.

At that time, facing such a choice, let alone a rookie, even many famous coaches would panic.

"This kid..."

Phil Jackson discovered that the rookie head coach of the Lakers hadn't panicked yet, but he himself panicked first.

This kid is so strong, his position as the head coach of the Lakers is completely gone!

The camera returns to the court again.

After Du Kang's statement, the situation between the Lakers and the Jazz returned to the balance of power again.

The most eye-catching scene of young people beating the MVP on the offensive end is still happening.

MVP Nash was embarrassed by the young man Hayward's name.

But because of Howard's hard work in defense and protection, and Hayward's explosive power and impact, he is not James after all, so he is afraid of Howard's defense and dare not kill to the end. Most of the roll call Nash chooses to shoot.

Shooting, even if it is an open shot, in the NBA arena, it is hard to say that you will definitely score.

After Hayward played, he called Nash 7 of 4. This efficiency is actually very good.

However, it was not enough to beat Nash, nor was it enough to break the defense of the Lakers.

On the contrary, after the Lakers' defense stabilized, Howard and Gasol's inside advantages were even greater.

At halftime, 52 to 52!

Artest received a pass from Kobe and hit a three-pointer at the buzzer!

The Lakers and Jazz even tied at halftime!
Such a result stunned the two Van Gundy coaches at the scene, and also made the Lakers fans at the scene shudder.

For a while, I didn't know how to treat Du Kang, a rookie head coach.

"Suddenly discovered that this rookie is the head coach of the Lakers. In fact... it's okay..."

Even Kobe, who walked behind Du Kang in the player tunnel, had an idea that made him feel strange.

So, after having this strange idea, Kobe shook his head hastily.

But at this moment, Du Kang in front stopped.

"Du..."

Hamm looked at Du Kang with some doubts.

Du Kang turned to look at Kobe with a smile.

"Bryant, played well in the first half, keep up the good work."

What the hell!

After Du Kang finished speaking, the Lakers players in the player tunnel were dumbfounded.

Everyone looked at Kobe immediately. Kobe looked pretty good just now, but his face turned ugly in an instant.

After lighting the fire, Du Kang left directly.

The trembling Lakers players left behind, Nash with a worried face, Kobe with flaming eyes, and Howard who was secretly happy.

front corner.

"Du, this time, you must be encouraging Kobe, right!"

"No, this time, I'm deliberately provoking him."

"..."

At the buzzer at the end of the second quarter, Kobe didn't make a shot in the face of the three-person pinch, but passed the ball.

The simulation should be that Kobe hits Howard's offensive rebounds and points Artest.

Obviously, Kobe found that the coach and his teammates played well, but he didn't feel good, so there was no need to go up.

This will not work!

Kobe must be on top!

The whole game must be on top!

Otherwise, how can it reflect the great role of his head coach!
cough cough.

Chatting, no matter how hard you work.

Ham looked dumbfounded at Du Kang walking ahead.

Such a pink and tender rookie head coach, after cutting it, it turned out to be so black!

No, I don't know, I don't know anything!
I haven't become the head coach of the NBA yet, so I don't want to be silenced by Du!

Looking at Du Kang who was getting further and further away in front of him, Hamm followed up tremblingly.

Du is not black, Du is not black, Du is not black at all...
