Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 159 Darkest Hour Old Dream Card, Your Players Are Amazing!
Compared with last season, Du Kang has much less to worry about this season.

For the Lakers last season, Du Kang did not dare to relax at all. Many games must be won, won, or won.

In order to win, Du Kang wished he could find fifteen thighs for himself.

The last five guards and the Four King Kong, plus Artest and Jamison who dreamed of returning to the peak card, and bucket small forward Ebanks.

Du Kang ended up with 12 thighs for the Lakers.

Last season was a very special encounter.

Let him get together the five guards, the four King Kong.

Such encounters are rare.

Lakers this season.

Four rookies can't be thighs.

The abilities of the rookies need to be cultivated, the skills of the rookies need to be cultivated, and the character of the rookies also needs to be cultivated. This does not happen overnight.

The five veterans of the Pacers and Master Ha Olajuwon, if they put on the dream back to the peak card, they can all change their thighs, but only one person can use it in a game.

In the end, the remaining six players of the Lakers, Yao Ming, Kobe, McGrady, Roy, Ebanks and Oden, these six are Du Kang's all-weather thighs.

Want to say strong?

Strong is definitely strong.

But as far as the current situation is concerned, it is definitely not as strong as last season, and that is also true.

There are fewer functional players, and players of the type Iverson and Nash are missing.

Players of the type Carter and Howard United are also missing.

The Lakers got better by being targeted.

Before Olajuwon and Roy came to the team.

The Lakers are even worse, not to mention the functional problems of the players.

The Lakers' rotation couldn't play back-to-back, back-to-back home and away games with the Pelicans, the Lakers lost in the second game.

After Roy and Olajuwon joined the team, the Lakers' rotation was barely able to expand.

Du Kang discovered that the Lakers last season were really rare.

In the future, Du Kang may no longer be able to make up a team with five guards and four King Kong.

Therefore, he needs to strengthen the core players of the team like other teams.

Kezi and Maizi have basically been strengthened to the top.

The Pacers' fourth veteran, Gao Olajuwon, is no longer suitable for strengthening.

Then the next ones who can be strengthened are Dayao, Oden and Ebanks.

Dayao's physical strength and character.

Oden's insider phobia.

Ebanks' skills.

To increase Dayao's stamina from 85 to 90, Du Kang spent a full 4500MP.

A lot of consumption, but acceptable.

The most uncomfortable thing is that like Nash last season, Du Kang wanted to increase his physical strength, but Nash’s physical strength could not support him, his physical strength was high, but his physical durability was low. It hurts to exert force.

Du Kang felt that it was a good deal for him to choose the rookie Yao Ming, and the restrictions on Dayao would be much, much less.

If it was the peak Yao, Du Kang would never dare to add Dayao's physical strength. As far as the physical durability of the peak Yao was concerned, adding Dayao's physical strength would not strengthen him, but kill him.

Has the potential to halve MP.

Du Kang did not use the two purple potential cards on Yao Ming's physical strength.

Too bad.

It's already 85, it's really a loss to spend a purple potential card for 5 points of potential.

Dayao with 90 physical strength played against the double bears, and Du Kang was a little relieved.

McGrady
Favorability towards you: 100
Mood: Worried (the next game against the Grizzlies, Yao may have an accident, um, how can I make Kobe fight inside desperately, so as to open up space for Yao?)
Maizi really broke his heart for Dayao this season.

Under Maizi's operation, Dayao is the core of the Lakers' tactics and offense this season.

Both Maizi and Kezi revolve around Yao Ming, one is Pippen for Yao Ming, and the other is Novak and Jordan for Yao Ming.

Kobe
Mood: Hmm (This is also good.)
Seeing Ke Zi's mood at this time, Du Kang smiled.

So, did Ke Zi know, or did he not know?
If it was someone else, Ke Zi would probably have gotten up and done it long ago.

You deserve me to be Novak too?
O'Neill never made me Novak!
But, this is Yao Ming...

He really was Novak for Yao Ming.

It should be pretty cool, right?
Cough cough... Du Kang guessed wildly.

In the Lakers this season, Dayao himself didn't know that he was actually the favorite of the Lakers.

If you want to be a good favorite of this group, you need strength.

The other immortal poisons me, and the other pets me to kill.

So, should Oden's insider phobia and Ebanks' skill problems be resolved?

Ebanks' skill problem is easy to solve.

Give him a suitable silver dream card, let him work hard in the NBA in his dream, and he will definitely develop a lot of skills.

However, Du Kang's two purple glory points are saved for Dayao. The time between Dayao's peak start and peak end is too short, and advanced character needs to be strengthened. Dukang needs 3 golden dream cards for Dayao. Glory.

correct.

Last season, after winning five games in a row, there will be rewards, but this season, there will be no rewards for winning five games in a row, which means that the winning streak is a one-time achievement.

This is also the reason why Du Kang did not frantically simulate for victory in the regular season.

Without the achievement reward of winning once in five games in a row, it would not be worth the loss if you frantically consume MP to simulate a winning streak.

Purple glory points are very precious, and they have to be saved for Dayao. He doesn't want Dayao to fall off a cliff next season.

There is no solution to Oden's insider phobia. However, Du Kang has already thought of a way to solve it, and he still needs a high-level dream card.

Except for the two purple glory points.

Du Kang also has 2 common glory points.

You can buy 2 bronze dream cards.

There is no need to save this now, it can be used.

Du Kang looked for it.

Ok……

"Darkest Hour Old Dream Card"

This is an old dream card in bronze.

2003 Busan Asian Games men's basketball finals.

As a Chinese fan, how could Du Kang not have heard of this game.

A game that made Dayao, a good old man, break his defense.

"Many of his dirty actions are disgusting. I despise him very much. In my opinion, he doesn't look like a man! What I hate is that I didn't beat him to death with one fist!"

I am afraid that many people will not believe that it was Dayao who told you this.

The person Yao Ming wished to kill with one punch was South Korean center Seo Jang-hoon.

From the shoulder bumps, black feet, and elbows in the opening game, to the acting skills, flopping, and bitter scenes in the second half, to the two desperate three-pointers at the last moment, this is the process of his defeating Yao Ming.

At the same time, it is also the epitome of South Korea's collapse of the Chinese team.

Hu Weidong was elbowed five meters away, Hu Weidong, oh shit, the referee with a whistle in his mouth was just watching there, but his face was expressionless.

With the acquiescence of the referee, the South Korean players swung their elbows, hugged them, and attacked the next three lanes.

The Chinese team's normal position is called a foul, and a normal breakthrough is called a foul. As long as there is physical contact, they will fall to the ground, and the whistle will sound when they fall to the ground.

This game, at home in South Korea, with the help of the referee, was indeed the darkest moment.

"Although the game is dark, it is really worth training."

Then the problem is coming.

Four rookie players, who will go up and experience the darkest hell moment of the Chinese men's basketball team?

Old dream cards are not player dream cards.

The player's dream card comes with the player's basketball memory.

The old dream card of the game is purely experience experience, without basketball memory.

Maizi replaces Yao Ming's old dream card, without Yao's basketball memory, all the skills are developed by himself.

Oden's player dream card of the senior pillars inherited the offense and support of the senior pillars. The player dream card of the senior pillars is not the most important offense and support, the most important thing is his life experience.

Bronze-level dream cards, except for players like Ebanks who really have no golf quotient and no skills, the bonuses of bronze player dream cards to player abilities are actually not much, mainly due to the bonuses brought about by life experience.

Old dream cards can never end.

The player's dream card will eventually come to an end.

The functions are different.

All four rookies need to work out.

Obviously, Antetokounmpo must be the one who needs the most exercise.

Moreover, his potential is also the highest.

Du Kang's only requirement for Antetokounmpo this season is to gain weight, and the rest doesn't matter, just play a few minutes or ten minutes in each game to experience the atmosphere of the NBA.

With Antetokounmpo's current size and basketball experience, Du Kang didn't expect him to make any contributions.

Next is Covington.

Covington's key attributes are very strong, capable of both inside and outside, and three abilities D. He is a monster player with average ability and potential, but strong 3D attributes.

Such a player also needs a dark game to hone.

Bowen also seemed to have slipped outside before returning to the NBA.

Well, many 3D players in the history of the NBA slipped around for a while, and only when they came back to the NBA after they got the hang of it did they succeed.

After training, Covington can become a normal rotation player for the Lakers.

"Then buy another one."

The enhanced training camp for the Lakers is in full swing.

As the team's four rookies.

McAway, Antetokounmpo, Kanan and Covington, facing the training methods given by the coach, they are actually not tired, but a strong sense of shame.

Ever since I was a child, I never thought that basketball can still be learned like this.

However, shame is shame, but after accepting this setting, it is still very touching.

Big brother of the team, so much fun.

We young people, what can't we think about?

Ashamed, the Clippers players are even more ashamed, right?

After the four rookies of the Lakers finished training with the big brothers, they helped the big brothers move their bags and various props back to the training hall.

At the end of the day, even if they were young, they were exhausted.

Tired is a bit tired, but none of the four young people complained.

McAway took a short rest and went back.

He's the only player of the four to make it into the rotation.

I still have to prepare for the game against the Grizzlies tomorrow, so I need to go back early to rest.

After sorting out his share, McAway left.

Saw McAway leaving.

Kanan, who competed with Mike Way for the team's starting point guard opportunity, had an ugly look on his face.

"I really regard myself as the main force of the team!"

"Isn't it just a quadruple-double against James? Why don't you have a quadruple-double in the next game? I'm lucky, and I can score [-] or [-] points!"

Kanan said cursingly, and Covington and Antetokounmpo next to him pretended not to hear them.

Covington pretended not to hear that he was a team's second-round pick and was not eligible to participate in such a dispute.

As for Antetokounmpo, he is um, he doesn't understand well, his English is not very good, and he is studying hard.

Whether it is really bad or fake is not good, no one knows, anyway, it is not very good.

"I'm leaving first, you guys pack up the rest of the things."

Kanan also left cursing.

After Covington and Antetokounmpo put things away and tidied up the training hall by the way, Covington was exhausted.

And Antetokounmpo, um, picked up a basketball, ready to practice extra.

this body...

This stamina...

I really can't accept it!

Just then, Nash walked in.

"Is it just you? Is everyone else gone?"

Seeing Nash coming in, Antetokounmpo hurriedly stopped for additional training, and Covington also got up from the floor.

The team's three assistant coaches, Clifford is in charge of offense and tactics, Hamm is in charge of defense, and Nash is in charge of player training.

So usually in the team, Nash is the assistant coach who has the closest relationship with the players.

"Steve, is the coach going to let us go?"

Covington looked at Nash worriedly.

They didn't play much playing time in the Lakers, and their performance was not good enough. For young players like them, decentralization is the best choice.

You can train yourself in the lower leagues.

But obviously, no NBA player in this world wants to be sent down.

"Delegation?"

Nash froze for a moment, why do you think about this?

However, if you think about it a little bit, you can understand it.

In front of the big players of the Lakers, these young rookies will really appear to have no confidence.

Except for these four rookies.

The other 11 people on the team, Ebanks and Oden with the smallest cards, one is Ariza Jr. who played James in the finals, and the other is one of the most talented No. [-] picks in NBA history.

Just these two people are big shots in front of them.

The gap is too big.

In addition, Coach D has a reputation for liking mature men.

They do have a lot of stress.

There has been news in the media that Coach D wants to trade Antetokounmpo to the Bucks for immediate combat power.

The media has been saying that Coach D intends to send the remaining young players to the Development League for exercise except McAway.

Playing on a team like the Lakers, there are too many outside voices.

Even if it is not friendly to veterans like him, let alone young players like Antetokounmpo and Covington.

"Don't worry, the coach has no plan to delegate you. The coach asked me to come over and bring you something."

After Nash finished speaking, he handed the two black wristbands to the two of them.

The Legend of Coach D's Bracers! ! ! !

Antetokounmpo and Covington thought they were dreaming.

Even Yao Ming didn't have a wristband, but they had it!
It's not a special rainbow-colored wristband, but a standard black one.

But even so, it's still very precious, okay?
"Come on, the coach is very optimistic about you."

Nash patted the backs of the two and left.

Nash left.

Antetokounmpo and Covington were excited.

When the two returned to their residence, they were both still excited.

They didn't know how excited they were until they fell asleep in a daze.

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

"Do you want to really live?"

"Ding, the copy of the old dream is open, the name of the copy is Darkest Hour, the level of difficulty: Bronze (difficult), the clearance requirement: beat the Korean team."

"Ding, identity matching, matching player: Yao Ming"

"Ding, identity matching, matching player: Li Nan"

……

……

In the dream, Antetokounmpo was dumbfounded.

This dream... so real, where am I?

Are they Chinese like the coach?
jump ball.

defense.

The Walking Dead.

Antetokounmpo didn't recover.

"Dayao, be careful!!!!"

what? !

Antetokounmpo, who was taking the ball at the top of the arc, suddenly felt something flying over.

One, Bigfoot!

Chinese Kongfu? !

bang!
Antetokounmpo, who reacted, was directly uprooted by the flying player!
moment.

The two groups of players on the court fought together.

"You fucking deliberately want to abolish Dayao!"

"Smecta! Smecta!! Smecta!!!"

"Da Li, they said who made Yao Ming stand there in a daze, and if such a good opportunity doesn't waste him or anyone else!"

"Trough! Fuck this group of dead sticks to death!!!"

The game had just started, and he was kicked hard on the knee, and then, the players on both sides went straight to it.

It made Antetokounmpo foolish.

What are they talking about?
who am I?
where am I?
What am I going to do?
and many more!

I remember that strange voice prompting me, match Yao Ming?

beat South Korea?
Is it?

I'm Yao Ming now?

I'm going to beat South Korea in a game?
The South Korean team, he has heard, the football team is very famous, notoriously black.

Is it? !
Am I playing against the South Korean team as Yao Ming?

first game.

Antetokounmpo was carried out on a stretcher, and the Chinese team lost.

Second game.

"Dayao, why are you dismissed? You are so tall, what are you doing? Isn't this courting death?"

In the severe pain of being stepped on and broken his leg, Antetokounmpo was carried away on a stretcher again.

Game three.

"Dayao, I'm sorry, you're in such a bad state today, I shouldn't have passed the ball to you!"

In the self-blame of his teammates, Antetokounmpo, who shot too slowly and was slapped and disfigured by his opponent, with a broken nose, was carried out on a stretcher again.

Game four.

Antetokounmpo broke his spine and was carried off the field.

Game five.

Antetokounmpo suffered a fractured calf and was carried off the field.

Game six.

Antetokounmpo suffered a fractured patella and was carried out.

……

Game ten.

Antetokounmpo's tibia was severely bent at a 90-degree angle and fractured, revealing a bloody fracture, and was carried away again.

……

No. 20 games.

Antetokounmpo was elbowed in the next three passes, faintly fractured, crying, and was carried out of the field sore.

"Dayao, you have been playing for the Korean team for so many years, why do you look like a beginner today!!!"

……

No. 30 games.

He fell on tiptoe to grab a rebound, and the South Korean player deliberately jumped and stepped on it. His skull was broken, and Antetokounmpo even felt his brain was stepped out.

"Dayao! Dayao! Dayao! Wake up, you can't die! Chinese basketball can't live without you!!!!"

……

……

"Ding, your player Antetokounmpo is starting to despair in the player dungeon, do you want to continue the dungeon?"

Desperate so soon?

"continue."

Almost two hours later.

"Ding, your player Covington has completed the old dream card, the darkest hour, ding, according to your player Covington's performance in the dungeon, defensive stability +1, offensive stability +1, three-point attribute +1 .”

Huh?
Covington cleared the level so quickly?
……

……

hotel.

Covington opened his eyes.

Um, only three hours of sleep?

It feels like I had a long, long dream. In the dream, he played at least 150 games.

"This dream is so real..."

……

……

"Ding, your player Antetokounmpo's awakening character is outspoken LV1, your player Antetokounmpo is in chaos in the player copy, may I ask if the copy continues."

"continue."

No pain No gain.

Young man, come on, I am optimistic about you!
After Du Kang cheered Antetokounmpo, he looked at the time, it was getting late, let's get some sleep first.

……

……

in a dream.

"Dayao, what are you doing, put him down quickly, we are not playing murderous basketball!"

"hahahahahahahahahahaha……"

……

"Dayao, the fans are innocent, you can't fight anymore!"

"Smecta, no one is innocent!"

……

"Stop it, Dayao, there are policemen outside!"

……

……

The morning of February 2th.

Last night, Du Kang slept very comfortably.

Yesterday, the enhanced training camp of the Lakers players, the attributes of the players have increased one after another, and the Lakers have strengthened a wave, of course it makes people happy.

By the way, what about Antetokounmpo now?

The first thing Du Kang did when he woke up was to check how Antetokounmpo was doing in the copy.

In other words, although this dungeon is dark, as long as you don't follow Yao Ming, it will be easy.

Covington's mood did not change, so it passed.

This shows that he is not a player who was hacked by the South Korean team leader.

In this game, the main black player of the South Korean team is Yao Ming.

I can't wait to abolish Yao Ming and kill Yao Ming.

Otherwise, he wouldn't break Dayao's defense and kill his opponent.

Antetokounmpo appeared desperate from the start.

This shows that Antetokounmpo is likely to follow Yao Ming.

Antetokounmpo was unlucky for this dungeon with Yao Ming, but Du Kang was definitely lucky.

With Yao Ming, this dungeon is likely to turn bronze into silver, or even gold!
Maizi's copy of the old dream card in 35 seconds and 13 minutes, with Yao Ming, the golden card is more leather than the purple card.

"Ding, it has been detected that you have fallen asleep. Considering your previous choices, the system will faithfully continue to execute the commands that need to be selected according to your choices."

"Ding, your player Antetokounmpo is collapsing"

"Ding, your player Antetokounmpo has collapsed"

"Ding, your player Antetokounmpo is desperate"

"Ding, your player Antetokounmpo is desperate"

"Ding, your player Antetokounmpo is starting to blacken"

"Ding, your player Antetokounmpo has been blackened"

"Ding, your player Antetokounmpo has lost interest in basketball"

"Ding, your player Antetokounmpo is starting to be happy"

"Ding, your player Antetokounmpo started killing"

"Ding, your player Antetokounmpo is killing"

……

"Ding, your player Antetokounmpo is killing super gods"

"Ding, your player Antetokounmpo is amazing!"

"Ding, your player Antetokounmpo Antetokounmpo is starting to suck"

"Ding, your player Antetokounmpo is numb."

What the hell! ! !

Antetokounmpo won't be as broken as Oden, right?
……

……

in a dream.

"A bunch of boring guys."

After Antetokounmpo avoided the shadowless foot, he numbly passed the ball to his teammate.

Look at the fierce opponent.

Looking at the referee in the darkness beside him.

Look at the evil fans on the sidelines.

Basketball has become like this, what's so fun about it.

Lose and win?
Is it important?
What's the point of such a basketball.

It's better to stay still.

"Dayao, shoot!"

Antetokounmpo froze for a moment.

"Dayao, stop passing, shoot!"

Can't you see it?

They have no intention of letting you win at all.

"Da Yao!!!!"

Antetokounmpo looked at the Korean player flying over.

Listen to the yelling of your teammates.

Looking at the firmness on the faces of his teammates.

An extremely familiar voice seemed to come from Antetokounmpo's ears.

"When you come to the Lakers, I don't need you to abide by other things. You only need to abide by one thing. On the court, you are not allowed to chase the referee, and you are not allowed to complain to the referee. Any penalty, whether beneficial or harmful, must be accepted. "

"The darker the game, the more determined we are to win the game. If you think you represent justice, you cannot lose to evil. If you think you are light, you shouldn't bow your head in front of darkness!"

Antetokounmpo's numb face gradually began to show expressions.

basketball……

……

……

"Ding, your player Antetokounmpo has regained his interest in basketball."

"..."

Just now I was still worried about whether Antetokounmpo was ruined by Mengka like Oden.

The reminder popped up suddenly by the system made Du Kang stunned for a moment.

Adokumbo

Favor towards you: 90 (You are right, I want to be a light in the dark!)
Mood: I want to win (represents justice and eliminates evil, if I don’t kill the Korean team, I will never wake up!)

What the hell!

If you don't kill the South Korean team, you won't wake up?

this……

Du Kang looked at the time.

The game against the Grizzlies is now less than 10 hours away.

As far as Antetokounmpo's current ability is concerned.

Can he beat South Korea?

In 2003, Yao Ming's strength was not low.

Antetokounmpo uses Yao Ming's body.

Antetokounmpo's technical attributes are inherently low, and most of the previous reminders have nothing to do with technology, which shows that he has not practiced his skills well in previous games.

If 1 minute is a game.

8 hours, can he finish it?

In 500 games, can he practice his technical attributes and use Yao Ming's body to beat the South Korean team?

A smile appeared on Du Kang's face.

Am looking forward to.

"Ding, your player Antetokounmpo +1 from close range"

"Ding, your player Antetokounmpo's back hook +1"

"Ding, your player Antetokounmpo's offensive stability +1"

……

Almost every minute, Du Kang's system prompts kept beating.

This shows that Antetokounmpo is working hard every game.

"Very persistent!"

……

……

"Coach D is too deceitful. In this game against us, he actually said that Olajuwon will not play!!!!"

The game between the Lakers and the Grizzlies is imminent.

Coach D said at the press conference before the game that Olajuwon will not play in this game.

The starting lineup for the Lakers in this game will be Yao Ming, Antetokounmpo, Covington, Maizi and Kobe.

Not only did Olajuwon not play, but also two rookie players started.

To be honest, not to mention that the Grizzlies feel that they have been underestimated, even Monty Williams, who has been paying attention to Du Kang, feels that Du Kang is careless in this game.

The Grizzlies' game is very intense, and Oden has potential injuries. He didn't play against the Grizzlies in the playoffs last year. Olajuwon is old and can indeed rest.

But for the position of power forward, is it okay to play Jermaine O'Brien?
On the thin bamboo pole of Antetokounmpo, um, can he stand up to Randolph or can he stand up to Gasol?

Monty Williams really couldn't read it.

Well, it doesn't matter if you don't understand.

study.

Learn the essence of Coach D's formation.

It is his goal in the next few years to thoroughly understand the things taught to him by several famous coaches last season.

"Huh? I seem to understand why Coach D started Antetokounmpo in this game!!!"

but……

Antetokounmpo, can he stand up to the two bears?
……

……

Outside the Lakers practice facility.

Du Kang, Kobe, McGrady, Yao Ming, Olajuwon.

Du Kang and several leaders of the Lakers led the whole team, standing outside the bus.

"Du, Antetokounmpo is late, shall we go now and give him a warning and a fine?"

"There are still 10 minutes, not too late."

"Even if it's not late, as a rookie, it shouldn't be, how can the whole team wait for him!"

Hamm was very upset.

And Kanan, who was sitting on the edge, was also very upset.

Of the Lakers' four rookies, the other three players all started.

He's the only one who hasn't gotten a chance to start yet.

This made him so envious that the plasmodium separated.

When coach D announced the starting lineup in advance today, his mentality really collapsed.

……

……

"Oops, the game is going to be late!!!"

Antetokounmpo bit the bread, took the milk, and ran while eating.

He lives not far from the team's training facility.

but……

At the buzzer, go to the bus to assemble.

No one in the entire Lakers has such power.

Even big guys like Kobe, Tracy McGrady, Yao Ming, and Olajuwon all came half an hour earlier.

Therefore, the Lakers' bus is usually 15 minutes early, and when Coach D comes, he leaves.

Antetokounmpo checked the time.

Now, the bus should leave, right?

Who would wait for a rookie like him?
Antetokounmpo was helpless.

but!
If it doesn't go to the end, who knows what will happen?

If we don't keep going, who knows that we can beat the Korean team?

Miracles don't fall from the sky.

Miracles will only come if you work hard!
The road is at your feet!

If you don't go, you will never see the end!

Antetokounmpo's footsteps have become faster.

……

……

"Ding, your player Antetokounmpo comprehends advanced character, Trailblazer, and the Trailblazer level is adjusted to LV1."

Huh?
Almost at the same time.

The surrounding Lakers players suddenly let out a burst of surprise.

Then, Du Kang heard a panting approach.

See the bus ahead.

Looking at the coach standing there in front, teammates, Antetokounmpo, the whole person was stunned.

The team, did not give up on me...

The team really didn't give up on me...

Eyes are sore.

Du Kang smiled and glanced at Antetokounmpo, who was shocked at this time, and got on the bus without saying a word.

"coach……"

Antetokounmpo wiped his eyes.

Went to the end of the team.

　Today's first update.
