Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 121 Coach D shows off his power and defeats UCLA air cut!

Nash's two three-pointers in the opening game made the Spurs fans tremble a little.

In recent years, who is the most familiar opponent of the Spurs?
Some people may say it is the Thunder, and some people may say it is the Grizzlies.

But as long as they are Spurs fans who have watched the game for more than three years, when faced with this problem, they will say it is the Suns and Nash.

For Nash, apart from Nash's own fans, Spurs fans are most familiar with it.

And the Nash at the beginning is definitely not the Nash they are familiar with!

This three-pointer, this steal, this is still the old Nash!
How could Nash have ever attacked like this before, how could he have broken like this!
"Is this the Nash that Coach D wants the world to recognize again?!"

It can only be said that Nash, who was reshaped by Coach D, has given people a completely different feeling.

It gives people a feeling that Nash can still play like this!

Seeing Nash start so strongly.

Yi Jianlian on the court was very happy. In his dream, he, Nash, Nowitzki, the three of them were separated by the Spurs!
After being broken up by the Spurs.

The Spurs became a nightmare for the three.

In fact, Nash is the worst.

In front of the TV, a smile appeared on D'Antoni's originally bitter face. At this moment, he finally understood what an incredible existence the person he had always envied and envied was.

Steve Nash!
This is Steve Nash!
He can actually transform!
And the transformation is so silky and perfect!

Originally, he was very unhappy when he heard the news that Coach D wanted Nash to start before the game. Didn't this make Nash jump into the fire pit?

Now, he finally understood that famous saying of Coach D.

"The players are blamed, the coach is incompetent!"

So many years have passed.

Nash has taken so many blames on him.

Defending against black holes, soft-bodied, unable to play positional warfare, unreliable in the playoffs, unable to win the championship...

This is not Nash's problem.

"This is my problem."

Heard D'Antoni say that.

Don D'Antoni next to him was dumbfounded.

I'm afraid this younger brother of my family has something wrong with his head, right?

"In the future, I want to make it up to Steve."

"..."

Looking at his younger brother who hated iron but not steel, Don D'Antoni couldn't help but said.

"Mike, how do you want to compensate Nash and become an assistant coach for Coach D?"

"Coach D doesn't need me, Steve may need me in the future."

"..."

What the hell!

Don DeAntoni was silly.

This younger brother of my family is not really stupid, is he?
If Nash really retires as a coach in the future.

A head coach like you will be an assistant to Nash in the future?
are you crazy!

At this moment, there were huge boos on the TV.

AT&T Field.

Nash made such a crazy start that the Spurs fans at the scene immediately booed hugely after a brief shock.

For many young people playing in the playoffs for the first time, such boos will definitely have a huge impact.

The booing of the Spurs fans has made great contributions to the Warriors.

Hearing the wild boos of the Spurs fans to counter the strength of the Lakers, Popovich, who also came back to his senses, said coldly.

"The Spurs are the greatest team of this era.

There are too many players on our feet.

We don't need to re-acquaint anyone.

Should I pay it back?
What else, we deserve it!

Coach D, did you hear that?
The counterattack starts now! "

Du Kang looked at the Spurs fans who were booing loudly at this time, then looked at the confident Popo, smiled, did not speak, but looked at the court.

Popovich looked at the boy who didn't get into the oil and salt, and gritted his teeth and looked at the court.

Brat, do you really think we are the Clippers?

I said counterattack from now on, do you think it's scaring you?
We, the Spurs, will go crazy and show you now, what is the strongest team in the NBA!

On the court, under the urging of the Spurs fans, the Spurs players on the court finally played the Lakers halftime this time.

Well, I don't dare to serve the bottom line quickly and play that kind of [-]-[-] pass.

The Spurs' offense is indeed very layered now.

Parker moved quickly after the ball was delivered, Splitter kept cruising to block and cover, and Duncan kept supporting up and down.

The ball is constantly spinning in the hands of the Spurs players.

Basketball is also constantly tearing the Lakers' defense in and out.

For an average NBA team, three passes are basically an offense.

Like the Lakers playing the Clippers in G4, the Clippers can't wait to pass the ball once, and then attack directly with two passes.

Like the Thunder, they attack directly without passing the ball.

And the Spurs, can't wait to pass the ball to the basket.

Well, basketball is not football, pass to the basket means pass to the open player.

The Spurs' UCLA air cut, can't wait to pass the open opportunity every time.

"UCLA's air cut is really amazing. This is the strongest Spurs I have ever coached!"

Popovich sighed with a smile.

What the hell!

Budenholzer behind Popovich was stunned.

Is Popo starting the NTR war this time?
Bobo's words are equivalent to saying in front of Coach D, your LP is really fun, I enjoyed it very much, it is the best I have ever played, but you can't play it yourself!

Budenholzer now wants to see how Coach D fights back.

What surprised Budenholzer was that Coach D didn't fight back!

There was still a smile on his face, and even his expression didn't change.

How is this going?

Has Coach D given up?
But if you think about it a little bit, UCLA's air cut is such a perfect tactic. Although the Spurs haven't achieved great success yet, the Lakers' staffing and defensive capabilities are indeed helpless.

Bobo, you are finally going to win this war of words with Coach D!
Just when Budenholzer was happy for Popo...

Just when Popovich smiled with satisfaction.

Du Kang finally spoke.

"Your passes are too many."

what?
Almost at the same time.

When Leonard, who made a breakthrough, passed the ball out...

Clap!
Leonard's pass was intercepted again!
"Nash, it's Nash again, Nash steals Leonard's pass again!"

"My God, Steve Nash directly steals the pass of the Spurs UCLA cut system!"

The Spurs' fierce tiger-like tactical coordination just now, and the coordination of people's movement and movement of the ball, were indeed dazzling.

Looks like a mighty horse.

The Lakers' defense is simply exhausted.

However, no one thought that such a powerful offensive system would suddenly collapse with a snap!

And it wasn't Kobe, McGrady, Yi Jianlian, Howard, or Nash who broke the system!

"Break the UCLA cut pass!"

"My goodness!"

In front of the TV, the head coach of UCLA University, Ben Holland, Du Kang's mentor at UCLA University, stood up excitedly from his seat.

In this year's playoffs, the Spurs used the UCLA system to defeat the Warriors. After showing their power, the pressure on them, the disciples and grandchildren of UCLA, was enormous.

The Spurs played UCLA cuts in the regular season. You can say that the NBA regular season games are not strong enough.

But in the playoffs, the Spurs not only played well, but also saved the team at a critical moment and defeated the opponent. You have nothing to say about this, right?

There is really nothing to say.

UCLA is orthodox in the Spurs.

For the ridicule of many people in the NCAA and American basketball circles, the disciples and grandchildren of the UCLA department are really blushing and have nothing to say.

Let's just put it that way.

In this series between the Lakers and the Spurs, the coaches of the UCLA department are under a lot of pressure.

If Popovich uses UCLA air cuts to kill coach D of the UCLA department, they will have no place to put their faces in the future, and they will have no face to meet Mr. John Wooden in the future. Can't lift it up.

Therefore, when the Spurs frantically showed UCLA air cuts in their first offensive round, many UCLA coaches in front of the TV were really trembling.

It's just that no one thought of it!
The Spurs' UCLA air cut was directly broken!
It's not that he missed the shot, but he was directly broken, directly broken!

And Nash, the Lakers' weakest defense, broke!
This is incredible too!
"No, this is too embarrassing!"

"Show off my martial arts in front of me, and I'll use the weakest person in my sect to beat you to the ground!"

Fake!

thought here.

Ben Howland trembled with excitement!

My apprentice D is really a master!

On the sidelines, Popovich was dumbfounded.

Rubbing his eyes, Popovich looked at Du Kang in shock.

"Is this an accident?"

"you guess."

After Du Kang finished speaking with a smile, Popovich gritted his teeth with hatred, he hated this kid so fucking much, and he never once managed to get any useful words out of his mouth.

but!

Popovich absolutely does not believe that Nash can break the UCLA cut!

No one would believe it if it was Popovich.

Du Kang glanced at the old man beside him who gritted his teeth and smiled.

UCLA is really strong.

In the entire history of basketball, there is no way to crack it!
UCLA air cut is the perfect tactic!
Not so much talent, not so much physicality, not even so much skill.

What you play is the golfer!

The demands on players are extremely high.

It's not like Princeton's high ball quotient that only needs one or two key players.

It's that everyone in the system needs a high golf quotient.

That's why it's so hard to build.

That's why it's the hardest to defend.

No matter how fast you run, can you be as fast as the ball?

No matter how good your defensive skills are, if you can't catch up with the ball, there is no room for heroes.

The key is the ball!
Defensive UCLA cuts, no defense, defense of the ball.

See the path of the ball, block the path of the ball.

Nash may be the strongest player in the entire NBA, or even the entire basketball world, with the best steals!

91 steals, purple-level interceptors, passing insight and other organizational attributes are almost full, and there are five purple organizational-related skills.

Not to mention active duty, even in the entire history of basketball, there is probably only one player like Nash.

After he raised Nash's stealing attribute to over 90, his defense against Nash was a qualitative improvement.

Maybe Nash's defense against people is still very weak.

But that is the defense of the ball, the first in history!

Even if it is not the first in history, it is also the first in history!
Nash is the nemesis of the Spurs' less than perfect UCLA air cut!
In a truly perfect UCLA cut, there will not be so many passes. After three times, it will be a one-hit kill.

UCLA's air cut is not that the more passes the better.

The Spurs kept passing the ball because they couldn't kill the defense in four passes.

The more passes, the more chances Nash will have to judge the ball.

These are some of the things on the internal study materials sent to him by the family of Mr. John Wooden, the future prince of UCLA.

"Counterattack, start now!"

What the hell!

Hearing Du Kang say what he just said to him, Popovich almost broke his defense in that instant.

This kid is too damn narrow-minded!
On the court, after Nash cut off Leonard's pass, he immediately pushed for a fast break.

Lakers players on the court.

Howard, Yi Jianlian, Tracy McGrady, Kobe and himself, the outside line is indeed not running so fast.

But Howard and Yi Jianlian ran fast!
After speeding up.

Duncan and Splitter were left behind in the end.

In front, the Lakers are almost five-on-three!

Five-on-three, and it was still the Nash organization, the Spurs fans at the scene were desperate.

No one knows Nash's power better than them!
After Nash led Howard and Yi Jianlian into the three-point line, facing Leonard, Green and Parker frantically shrunk to protect the basket, and passed the ball behind the back to McGrady outside the three-point line.

"McGrady is empty!"

"Fack! McGrady didn't shoot!"

Seeing that Maizi did not shoot immediately after receiving the pass from Nash, but was waiting for Duncan who came up from behind, Barkley swears directly!

The Spurs fans at the scene, after being taken aback for a moment, immediately burst into loud laughter and boos.

Duncan's athletic ability is not so fast, but the court is short or long, McGrady made a few adjustments, and Duncan came up.

Then, in front of more than 2 Spurs fans, Maizi turned around and broke through the unstable Duncan, and then stepped back and pulled out, making two consecutive breakthroughs to the right and passing Duncan again. , this is not over yet!
After passing Duncan for the second time, Maizi took the initiative to pause. After Duncan came up, he turned around and passed Duncan again, and then came outside the three-point line again.

"Fack! TMC and Duncan have any grudges, does TMC need to show off Duncan like this?!"

O'Neill in the TNT commentary booth was stunned!
After Duncan was turned around backwards, he looked left blankly and looked again. His first reaction was that Maizi might be trying to pull away his defense to make an emergency stop mid-range.

Duncan didn't expect that Maizi would break through to the three-point line in reverse!

"Tim, back."

Wheat's joyful voice sounded.

When Duncan noticed the three-point line behind him.

It was too late for him to turn around and defend again.

Maizi's three-point line at the top of the arc is almost an open three-point shot, hit!

9 is better than 0!

The Lakers started 9-0!

"My goodness!"

"Incredible TMC!

Incredible Nash!

Incredible Lakers!
Incredible Coach D!

Coach D smashed Popovich's UCLA cut head-on!

Nash smashed the Spurs' offense head-on!
TMC smashed Duncan's defense head-on!

The Lakers' start to this game was unbelievable! "

Barkley's passionate roar almost resounded through the silent sky above AT&T.

At this moment, the entire AT&T Arena can really be described as silent.

The ferocious Spurs fans just now are really described as stunned.

The Spurs can also be regarded as the fans who watch the most games and watch the most playoffs among the NBA fan base.

But even so.

Where have they seen such an opening!
"It's gorgeous, this Laker, it's gorgeous!"

AT&T Arena was silent.

But in other places in the United States, in front of the TV, on the Internet, and even in China on the other side of the ocean, at this time, I don’t know how many people are screaming, cheering, and going crazy.

On the sidelines, Popovich looked extremely ugly at this time.

Not only because of the bad situation, but more importantly, just now Maizi actually played with his Duncan like that!
In the first round of G6 in the Western Conference, Curry just took advantage of Duncan's loopholes and played a few ordinary rounds. Popovich couldn't stand it. He replaced Duncan and then resorted to UCLA air cuts to beat the Warriors 17-4. It crashed, and Curry didn't score 4 point in the last 1 minutes of defense, and he hit the iron.

In the round that Maizi played with Deng Dai just now, the crime was much more sinful than Curry.

So now Popovich's face is really ugly, which scared Budenholzer next to Popovich to tremble.

"This is Coach D's revenge! TMC played with Duncan so much on the court, it must be Coach D's revenge! It's revenge for Popo just now!"

Bobo just said, Coach D, your UCLA (LP) is really fun.

Coach D, say it now, your Duncan (LP) is so much fun!

What the hell!

You two famous coaches, why do you like NTR each other so much? !
Can a general head coach play with these two head coaches who have such a special hobby?

There is no need to play at all!
No wonder Pooh was crushed by Coach D!
If you don't have such a strong psychological ability to resist stress, you really can't play such a crazy game between two people!

So here comes the question, in this game, which of the two will collapse first?

Was Coach D crushed by Bobo, or Bobo was crushed by Coach D!

Budenholzer and Ham next to him looked at each other, and both of them could feel the fear in each other's eyes!

As soon as the game started, the stimulating play between Coach D and Bobo frightened them.

And right now.

"Bobo, look, UCLA, it's okay if you can't grasp it, Tim, you can't grasp it either."

What the hell!

Coach D started riding face output!

Popovich, who was already dark-faced, now had green eyes.

The Spurs' offense and defense this time is definitely a shame and a shame for Popovich.

The opponent's LP was not played, and his own was played.

Who can bear this!
"Coach D, don't scare me. In this world, you know the strength of UCLA better than anyone else. An accident will not make me change my style of play!"

He just hit coach D on the face just now, just to stimulate coach D to use YI and TMC to continue to beat Duncan under the basket.

He intends to let Coach D experience the strength of the basket in the playoffs.

Coach D was not fooled, and actually focused on Nash.

How could he be fooled!
You said that I can't play well at UCLA, it must be because of fear!
Others used to say that Bobo's mouth is a deceitful ghost.

Everyone is the head coach of the black heart area, I still don't understand you!
Your coach D's mouth is also a deceiving ghost!
My well-prepared UCLA air cut is a secret weapon. How could I be scared away by your two words?
"Coach D, watch how I tear up the hypocrisy on your face!"

Popovich waved his hand, there was no timeout, and the Spurs continued to attack!

And it's still UCLA's empty cut!

At home, they were so strongly suppressed by the Lakers.

Popovich has no face, and neither do the Spurs players on the court.

"Mr. Riley, is this an accident? UCLA's air cut was broken by Coach D? Isn't UCLA's air cut a tactic that is said to never be broken?"

"It's not that it will never be broken, but that no one has ever broken it!"

"..."

Spoelstra froze.

Is it different?

and many more!

It seems that it is different!
Coach D, is he really that strong?

Missed consecutive offenses, and now the Spurs urgently need to show momentum at home.

The opening was interrupted twice by Nash.

Duncan, who was shown off by Maizi just now, not only did not show his mentality, but calmly directed the Spurs players to pay attention to Nash.

Even if Nash is good at defense, if he cuts you off twice in a row, you won't be able to get a head start.

But here comes the problem.

The Spurs' UCLA air cuts were not successful, and avoiding Nash's pass meant at least a quarter of the space was lost.

Isn't this just letting the horse run and not let the horse eat grass?
If the Spurs UCLA makes an air cut, the offense can be resolved within four passes.

That doesn't matter.

The Spurs now need to pass the pass, preferably five or more.

If you don't play UCLA cuts, they can play regular games.

But Popovich made it clear that in this round, UCLA must play an air cut.

This is uncomfortable.

Nash doesn't pass, this kind of unilateral pass back and forth can't tear the space at all.

There is no way, Duncan's reminder has to be listened to, so be a little more careful, but the pass from Nash's side still needs to be passed, so that the space of the entire court can be opened up.

Parker receives a pass from Danny Green.

Under Kobe's pursuit, Duncan, who wanted to hit the ball to the open, let him make a mid-range shot.

but……

Nima's!
McGrady suddenly blocked his pass to Duncan.

Why did TMC card him pass Duncan's route card so accurately?

Parker is numb.

He found out during the regular season.

In the end, Parker, who was covered by Kobe, lost the chance to pass the ball and could only pass the basketball to Leonard.

But just after Parker passed the ball, Kobe withdrew his defense, and Parker was stunned!

Fake!

It's Nash again!

On his pass to Leonard, Nash intercepted it again!

Medica Duncan just now!
Now Kobe covers him!
"The Lakers did it on purpose?!"

By the time Parker realized this, the ball had once again been taken away by Nash.

Both Parker and Leonard have high IQs.

But the pass between the two...

In Nash's view, it was too simple.

After Nash steals the ball successfully.

Leonard was almost crazy to get the ball back, at least to delay Nash's fast break.

However, in the face of such a strong rush from Leonard, Nash turned around halfway and threw the basketball in his hand behind him.

Seeing Nash's pass, the Spurs fans at the scene exclaimed.

Leonard's counter-robbery was very successful!

Although it didn't break the ball directly from Nash's hands.

However, Nash made a pass error!
just soon...

When the Spurs fans felt that the Lakers were going to make a mistake.

A long leg rushed out!

"Yi!"

When Nash was robbed by Leonard, Yi Jianlian started.

Nash saw Yi Jianlian activated from the corner of his eye, and then made a back pass in that direction.

Nash's iconic back pass!

Yi Jianlian, so familiar!

85 explosive power!

When he rushed out suddenly, Split couldn't catch it!
After Yi Jianlian received the ball at the middle circle, he went all the way forward, and no one behind him could catch up with him!
Clang!
Yi Jianlian dunks with both hands!
11 is better than 0!

Looking at Yi Jianlian with his hands hanging on the basket at this time.

At the AT&T site, there was another dead silence.

The Spurs fans seemed to see a ghost one by one.

In the 15 years of watching history of many Spurs fans, they have never seen the Spurs start so badly.

This is not the Spurs underestimating the enemy.

As soon as the Spurs came up, they took out their secret weapon that they had prepared for a long time, UCLA cut.

As a result, now it is this?
Not only the Spurs fans at the scene were stunned, but even Popovich on the sidelines was stunned at this time.

For two consecutive rounds, the UCLA air cuts he carefully crafted for the Spurs were broken.

Moreover, it was the kind that was robbed out of nowhere!
If it's not something, it's happening right in front of your eyes.

If it weren't for the Spurs fans at the scene, they would have been silent.

He couldn't even believe it!

In fact, Budenholzer behind him was already trembling.

UCLA air cut ah!
This is the UCLA air cut that no one can break!
Coach D, it broke!
And it was broken with Nash!

"Nash, not the Lakers' defensive black hole, Nash is really Coach D's secret weapon!"

It's been six years, it's time to pay it back.

Think back to this sentence.

Popovich had a chill down his spine.

this kid!

He is also prepared!

"Coach D, actually broke the UCLA air cut. It turns out that the weakness of UCLA's air cut is...haha, hahahaha... Different routes lead to the same goal, as expected, different routes lead to the same goal!"

"Mr Riley?"

Watching Pat Riley suddenly jump up and laugh wildly.

Spoelstra was stunned.

Mr. Pat Riley, where's your grace?

It's just that Pat Riley, who was laughing excitedly at this time, didn't care about the strange eyes of the apprentice next to him.

The weakness of UCLA's air cuts, TM's is actually passing!
UCLA cuts, the strongest is passing, and the weakness is also passing!
This is exactly the same as his five-forward tactics!

Who the hell would have thought that the weakness of his five-forward strategy is the strongest small forward!
"Hahahaha, Coach D, hahahaha..."

Smiling and laughing, the expression on Pat Riley's face became strange.

"My five-forward strategy was broken by you, and UCLA's air cut was also broken by you, haha, Wizards, really Wizards..."

"..."

After Pat Riley finished speaking, Spoelstra next to him was stupid.

At this moment, Barkley's shouts on the TV became more and more agitated.

"Spurs and Popovich request a timeout!"

"The UCLA air cut, the secret weapon that Popovich carefully prepared, was defeated by Coach D!"

In the silent world, it seemed that only Buckley's crazy and excited voice was left.

"Coach D, it's UCLA cutting!"

……

……

In the stands, behind the Lakers bench.

Bowen looked incredible.

Robert Horry also had an unbelievable expression on his face.

However, after Horry came back to his senses, he looked at Nash in front of him and looked at Bowen with a smile.

"Bruce, I can tell Nash now, are you still so soft?"

"..."

Fake!

Bowen came back to his senses, gritted his teeth and looked at Horry, then at Nash in front of him, wishing he could play.

Isn't it just Nash?
With Nash on the court, the Spurs don't need to play UCLA cuts at all, it's all due to Pop's bad taste!

"Don't worry, there is a time when you say this!"

He believes in Bobo's wisdom!

……
