Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 166 Scared Howard, a surprise for Coach D!
New York gym.

The game between the Knicks and the Lakers at home is about to start, and the entire Knicks are now immersed in a tense atmosphere.

After the season opener, both the Lakers and the Knicks have their own circumstances.

The Knicks are playing better and better in the East.

The Lakers in the West have some ups and downs.

Recently, there have been successive failures.

After the first 28 games, 22 wins and 6 losses.

The Lakers' record is actually very good.

But compared to the Knicks' 25 wins and 3 losses, it's still a bit worse.

It can only be said that the Knicks are in the East, which is really an advantage.

The Knicks are taking advantage of the East, and the Knicks know it themselves.

So in the game against the Lakers, they will not look at their opponents by their record.

Compared to the nervousness of other Knicks.

Now James is a little distracted.

Howard didn't come to practice today.

It made James feel a little empty in his heart.

After being PUA for less than half a year, this is suddenly no longer PUA, and I am not used to it.

His routine in the Knicks practice facility is being shot hundreds of times a day by Howard.

The sudden interruption of daily life made James frown after a brief sigh of relief.

Recalling Howard's anomalies in the recent period, James fell into deep thought.

I don't know if it's his illusion. In the past half a month, Howard's three-point shooting rate has been declining during training.

He had some doubts before, but he didn't think too much about it. Any player has a good hand and a bad hand.

At first, he really felt that it was time for Howard to feel bad recently.

If the hand feels bad, he will not attack during the game. This is a good thing, which shows that Howard still puts the team first.

James is now playing for Howard in the Knicks, being 1.5. What he fears most is that Howard doesn't care about the outcome of the game, and he is as bad as he was in the first half of the season with the Lakers last season.

And Howard, the reason why he can handle him is to use this to threaten him.

What do you mean I don't need to prove myself anymore, but LeBron, you do.

To put it bluntly, isn't it that I can be bad, but can you bear it?
This is what Hong Guoguo is saying, LeBron, you don't want to see me work hard in the game, do you?

He always felt that he had tricked Howard into the Knicks before.

In fact, this guy tricked himself into the Knicks.

After tricking himself into the Knicks, Howard can use this to manipulate him at will.

This kid's IQ is not high, but he is a little clever ghost.

In the Lakers last season, he almost killed Kobe, the famous smart man in the NBA.

If it wasn't for Coach D who fell from the sky, Kobe and Nash would definitely be cheated in the late season last season.

How did I fall for this kid so easily?
Such a selfish guy.

Will he really suppress his desire for the team?
James, who was frowning at first, has begun to change the expression on his face.

"That guy, could it be... something went wrong with his three-pointer?"

How can this be? !
In the NBA, it is true that some players practiced three-pointers last season, but they will not have them next season.

He himself is like that.

One season is allowed, one season is not allowed.

However, it is basically based on a season.

Moreover, even if the three-pointer is not allowed, it will not suddenly disappear, it is just not allowed, not impossible to shoot.

Howard hasn't made a [-]-pointer in his past three games...

Is it?

Howard felt like he suddenly lost his three-point ability?
Thinking of this, James looked surprised.

This, no way?
Therefore, Howard is now looking for Coach D to help him fix the three-pointer problem! ! ! !
Thinking of this, James was so frightened that he didn't even change his training clothes, and rushed out of the training hall.

I saw James rushing out.

Mayfair Jackson and his assistant Kidd were stunned.

"LeBron is this?"

"Did something big happen?"

As James' good brothers, Anthony and jr Smith certainly don't care at all.

It's just that the two of them can't catch up with James.

When the two chased out.

James has boarded his helicopter.

After James won the championship in 2012, he rewarded himself by buying a first-class Taiwanese business jet, which can be regarded as a player with a private jet.

I came to New York this year, because the traffic environment in New York is really not very friendly. James has a lot of business activities in New York and it is inconvenient to drive, so he bought another helicopter.

I usually travel by helicopter.

Seeing the helicopter already flying in the air, Anthony and Jr Smith were taken aback.

Did something extraordinary happen?
"Hurry up, hurry up!!!"

James on the helicopter was anxious like an ant on a hot pot.

Howard no longer knows how to make three-pointers, so Coach D must not know about it!

He came to the New York Knicks this season to win the championship!
Howard came to the New York Knicks to be the boss!
Howard doesn't care if Coach D knows about this kind of thing, as long as Coach D can solve the problem for him.

It doesn't matter if you win the championship or not.

But he can't!

If Howard's loss of three-point ability is told to Coach D, it will be over for him and the New York Knicks this season!
No matter how much Coach D loves Howard, it is impossible to help Howard practice three-pointers this season!
Then he suffered in vain in New York Knicks this season!

The helicopter stopped on the tarmac on the roof of the hotel building where the Lakers were staying.

"Which floor do Coach D and the Lakers live on?"

"Coach D lives in the presidential suite."

As a super celebrity in New York now, James wants to find Coach D, and of course the hotel staff will not stop him.

James didn't take the elevator.

It's the stairs.

Cengcengceng all the way down.

I have to say that he really worked hard to stop Howard.

Whether it can be stopped, he doesn't know.

But he knew that if he didn't, his career would be over!

He can't afford to fail!
This year, he must succeed!

Ok?
"Nash?!"

Seeing Nash's anxious appearance, James froze for a moment, then quickly hid in the corner.

"Could it be?!"

James' anxious face was instantly ecstatic.

Howard hasn't met Coach D yet?

The anxious James put his heart down a little.

Howard dared not speak up.

He must be very flustered now.

With no three-point ability, he definitely doesn't want me to know, and he doesn't want the world to know.

He didn't even dare to call Coach D.

The hottest social event in the United States this year is Prism Gate.

It has been burning for half a year, and it is still burning.

The three-point shooting ability is related to Howard's status in the NBA, his MVP rankings, and everything about him.

This little clever ghost only believes in Coach D now!

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on James' face.

It can only be said that thanks to Mr. Si who has run away, if it weren't for him, Howard's IQ would not have such a sense of precaution.

After thinking about this, James now has a more relaxed expression on his face.

Howard even suspected that the hotel suites might be followed by reporters or bugged.

So hid in a hidden place.

Sit back and wait for the rabbit.

Follow Coach D to find Howard!
The door to Coach D's presidential suite opened.

"Coach, Dwight seems to have a very important matter. He is mysterious and suspicious. I suspect...Dwight may have committed a crime, and he is about to be wanted soon!"

"..."

Du Kang was directly overwhelmed by Nash's brain.

Old man, isn’t your imagination too rich?

As far as Howard's courage is concerned, you said that he was committed by someone else, I believe that it is absolutely impossible for me to believe that he did such a big thing that he was wanted.

Obviously, this matter has a lot to do with Howard's three-pointer.

Du Kang himself didn't know how to solve Howard's three-pointer problem.

He's on another team, but not on his own. He wants to help, but he can't.

So, this matter is still very troublesome.

When the time comes to see Howard, what should I say?

Hear what Nash said just now.

James, who was hiding in the corner, almost laughed.

"It seems that Dwight really didn't say anything."

Not even Nash said.

You know, Nash is one of Howard's closest teammates in the Lakers, as Howard himself said.

James is completely relaxed now.

Du Kang was taken all the way by Nash to the utility room of the hotel.

Here's where those cleanup tools come in.

Howard, this kid, has found a good place.

Really careful enough.

It seems that this kid Howard has indeed listened to his words, and he has indeed become more careful when going out, and better able to protect himself.

In this way, Du Kang was relieved.

Du Kang pushed open the door.

Plop!
"Coach, save me!"

Du Kang was dumbfounded looking at Howard who was hugging him with snot and tears streaming down his face.

Isn't it just that the three-pointer ability is gone?

Is it so miserable?

Need this?

Du Kang looked distressed.

Beast, don't be like this, get up first.

After Du Kang came back to his senses, he was ready to pull Howard up.

Just now.

"Coach D, Dwight is joking with you."

"..."

A familiar voice came from behind, Du Kang froze for a moment.

Look back.

James!
This……

Du Kang looked at Howard who was kneeling on the ground again.

I just boasted that you can protect yourself.

Why didn't James hide such a big matter?

Seeing James suddenly appear, Howard, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled.

He was much more shocked than Du Kang.

James must not let James know about his sudden inaccurate three-pointer!

Let James know, then it's not that he can control James, but James can control him!
He will definitely threaten himself!

He's sure to be a crazy PUA himself!

Just like I did to him before!

"Dwight, tell me, are you joking with Coach D?"

James walked in, lifted Howard who was kneeling on the ground, and then patted the dust on Howard's pants very carefully and gently.

"Our head of the New York Knicks, No. 1 in the NBA's official MVP rankings, can't be so careless about image."

James gently dusted Howard, and said with a smile.

The softer James' voice and the happier the smile on his face, the more Howard's body trembled.

Du Kang doubted whether this kid Howard would suddenly be scared to pee.

"Dwight, are you okay, tell Coach D, what are we doing here?"

After James finished speaking, he narrowed his eyes.

Then, Howard was startled.

His voice trembled.

"Teacher, coach, I, I and LeBron are here, yes, I am joking with you, here, I will give you a surprise, hahahaha..."

"..."

Du Kang was speechless.

Nash next to Du Kang frowned and said.

"Dwight, if you are threatened by James, just blink."

"Steve, Dwight and I are best brothers, how could I threaten him, right, Dwight."

After James finished speaking, Howard didn't even dare to blink his eyes.

Just staring at Nash.

"Dwight, if you are threatened by James, don't be afraid. The coach and I are here to ensure that no one can bully you."

Nash looked at Howard seriously.

And Howard was about to cry, and then looked at Du Kang as if asking for help.

"Okay, Steve, I don't think Dwight would lie to us, he should have come here to joke with us, and we haven't seen each other for a long time."

After Du Kang finished speaking with a smile, Howard really cried.

And the kind of crying.

Why am I so miserable!
He doesn't know now if James has discovered it.

But he dare not gamble now.

He needs to test it out now.

"Coach D, let's not bother, Dwight, let's go, the team still has training."

After James finished speaking, he walked out of the small room with a smile.

Howard looked at Du Kang longingly, and looked back at Du Kang step by step.

That look really hurts me.

Not to mention Dukang.

Nash next to him felt distressed.

"Coach, I suspect that Dwight has a handle on James!"

"Coach, Dwight has been showing off to me before. He trained James like a dog. I'm afraid James will be bad for Dwight!"

Du Kang looked at the backs of James and Howard leaving, and frowned.

"No, James is a smart man, he won't be against Howard."

James came to the Knicks for Howard. A Howard who can be used by him is more useful than anything else.

Du Kang is not afraid that James will treat Howard badly.

But being too nice to Howard...

Hotel, top floor.

The propellers of James' private helicopter circled.

James and Howard stood side by side next to the helicopter.

The clothes on the two of them rattled under the wind.

"Dwight, you shouldn't tell Coach D that you can't do three-pointers."

Howard, who was still thinking about how to test James, was dumbfounded.

No need to try.

James simply already knew it! ! !

"You, you...how do you...know?"

Looking at Howard who was very shocked at this time, James smiled.

"Dwight, you shoot me like that every day, I can feel any changes in you, whether you are in a good state, whether you are in a bad state, whether it is false, I can feel it all, you can lie to the world, but you lie not me."

"..."

Howard opened his mouth, not knowing how to refute for a moment.

Because this is a fact.

He shoots James so much every day, if calculated by five hundred times a day, this is tens of thousands of times.

"Dwight, have you ever thought that you are no longer a Lakers player? Coach D needs to be busy with so many things every day. Even if he loves you again, how can he help you? You are now a Knicks player. Can you Are you going to Los Angeles?"

"Besides, you should know better than me what kind of situation the Lakers are in, right? Even if Coach D took a few breaths at the Lakers training ground, everyone outside would know clearly."

When James said this, Howard calmed down.

These days, after he felt that his three-pointer was not due to poor hand feeling, he kept thinking that only the coach could save him.

I really didn't think that much.

Now the coach is no longer his coach.

The coach is the head coach of the Lakers.

And he's a Knicks player.

The coach's training method needs to observe the players closely for a long time to work out.

As long as I'm not a Laker player, it's impossible for the coach to work out a training method for me.

And Aunt Jenny of the Lakers, although he has lost his power now, is still the vice president of the Lakers, and the Lakers are still the team that leaks everywhere.

Thinking about this, Howard completely calmed down.

"Dwight, the person who can help you in this world is not Coach D, but me!"

"..."

Howard looked at James in shock.

Is there something wrong with you guy?

How did I PUA you in the past six months, how did I bully you, forget?

You fucking must be full of bad water, you want to think about how to threaten me!
If I get a handle like this and don't use it to threaten you, I'm not a beast!

"Aren't you trying to threaten me to be your younger brother?"

Seeing Howard's unbelieving expression, James shook his head.

"Since I came to the Knicks to be your second boss, I will be your second boss. I can guarantee this. I, LeBron James, will never break my promise!"

"..."

Howard felt that if James didn't say that, he still believed it a little bit.

Now he doesn't believe it at all.

Seeing Howard's expression, James was also a little embarrassed.

Ok……

I am really very sincere now, and it is believable!
"Dwight, whether you believe it or not, I will not tell you about the three-point loss."

"Really?"

"Even, I will cover it up for you!"

Howard was really excited this time when James said that he would cover up for himself.

If you lose three points, the best way is of course to find a coach and come back.

If you can't practice it back, it's best to cover it up.

As for being exposed.

This is the scariest, and the least likely to be accepted by him.

After being the No.1 of the future alliance for so long, he is addicted.

A Howard without a three-pointer is not even in the top five in the league, not even in the top ten in the league!
Howard without three points, he is not even as good as his good brother and ex-little brother Yi!
Not to mention competing with that guy Kobe for No. 1 in the league.

"How are you going to cover it up for me?"

Howard, who didn't trust James at all, finally became interested.

Well, for James, it must have finally been the bait.

"I need to see your current three-point level first."

"..."

in the hotel.

Du Kang is also thinking about a question now, that is how much of Howard's current three-pointer is left.

This is a good deal.

The Knicks have now played 28 games, one less than 1 point, and now Howard has at least 60 points of three-point attributes.

Well, the system said it would fall to the true level of Howard's three-pointer.

How much is Howard's three-point strength?

If there is 65, then Howard's three-point strength is now 65.

By the way, Du Kang also gave Howard a three-point training camp.

So +3 more points.

If Howard's three-point real ability is less than 60, he will continue to drop.

Is Howard the kind of player who can rely on his own potential to make three-pointers?

Du Kang wasn't sure.

Just when Du Kang was thinking about how far Howard's three-point attributes had fallen.

James' private basketball court at his home in New York.

brush!
brush!
Bang!

Bang!

brush!
Bang!

No defense, Howard's three-point ability is not without.

It's just not as accurate anymore.

However, from a visual point of view, the hit rate is still 50%.

This shows that Howard still retains some of his three-point ability, and this is enough.

"Dwight, from now on, your personality on the team needs to change."

After Howard's test, James said immediately.

"Personality?"

"From now on, you will be a team boss whose first goal is the team's victory. Your offense and your three-pointers are mainly to open up space for the team. Except for open three-pointers, you will Don't shoot, the rest, on the court is defense, support, screen, pick and roll, everything is for the team!"

Howard looked at James warily.

"that's it?"

You kid is actually tricking me into working for you, right?
I don't even care about Kobe, I'll give you my life, kid?
Do you want to eat it!

If you can't give a reason, see if I believe you or not!
"Dwight, have you ever thought about one thing, it's actually very simple to keep the New York Knicks' top position."

Ok?
"As long as I admit that you are the head of the New York Knicks, you are the head of the New York Knicks."

"..."

"From now on, you can still bully me, abuse me like before, and even scold me in public at every turn, showing your leadership to your heart's content."

"..."

Howard is really confused now.

James, boy, can't he be playing for real?

Such a big handle, don't PUA me, let me continue to PUA him?
Is this kid sick?

"Dwight, as I said, I came to the New York Knicks just for you. In my mind, Howard in the 2013 Western Conference Finals, Howard in the 2013 Finals, is an indomitable superhero!"

"..."

Howard's eyes widened.

"Howard in the 2013 Western Conference Finals, and Howard in the 2013 Finals, were their three-pointers accurate? Howard in the Western Conference Finals did not attack and crushed the double bears. Howard in the Finals only defended and guarded the Lakers' penalty area , supporting the sky of Los Angeles."

"I, LeBron James, am here for such a great hero!"

"As for whether this great hero can score three points, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter at all!"

Looking at James with a sincere and adoring face at this time, Howard couldn't even say anything for a while.

"Dwight, you may not know that in the 2009 Eastern Conference finals, I admired you. It was you who brought me to Miami. It was you who made me lose confidence. You are the only player I admire in the NBA. Many people It is said that Michael Jordan is my idol, no, Dwight Howard is my idol!"

"..."

"Dwight, in the 2009 Eastern Conference finals, can you make three points?"

will not!

It has to be said that Howard feels that his blood is already boiling with excitement.

"Dwight, the reason why you are not confident now is not because of other reasons, but because you have not succeeded after leaving Coach D. As long as you can finally win the championship this season, will you have three points? Is it important? At that time, you will be the MVP in your left hand and the championship in your right hand, so you can tell about your loss of three points, even!"

"even?"

Howard stared at James with wide eyes.

James smiled.

"Even, Dwight, you can say, I, the great Warcraft, can rule the NBA even if I don't need three-pointers, and I can make LeBron James surrender, and I can also conquer Kobe, Duncan, Yao and Yi!"

Holy shit! ! ! !
Howard was all excited.

"Dwight, do you understand now?"

"What you lack is not the three-point ability. What you lack is another success after leaving coach D. As long as you win the championship again, you will be impeccable!"

I have to say that James' eloquence is really good.

Howard, who was flustered just now because he lost his three-point shooting ability, and who was completely at a loss, has completely relaxed at this time.

"Dwight, don't worry, before you win the championship, I will protect you, you are my boss, no one can change it!"

"When Dwight, you win the championship trophy, you no longer need anyone's protection, you don't need my protection, and you don't need the protection of Coach D. You, Dwight Howard, are the king of the NBA!"

As long as I can win the championship again, I will be the impeccable NBA king! ! !

Howard felt that James was very, very right!
"So, Dwight, it's very simple, victory, championship, these, I can help you!"

After James finished speaking sincerely, Howard wrote this time.

If James in the Three Gods costume is his teammate and his second child, then he is indeed invincible, the champion, it's easy!

"So Dwight, in this world, only I am the one you can really rely on!"

James smiled and held out his right hand.

This time, Howard's face was no longer the expression of refusal to be thousands of miles away.

This time, Howard also stretched out his hand.

"LeBron, starting today, you're my brother!"

Howard smiled.

James laughed too.

see it?

Coach D, your favorite player, is about to be captured by me!

And I, LeBron James, will eventually be the king of the NBA!

My journey is finally bright!
Coach D, you must not know Dwight's current situation now, right?
The Christmas battle is the real surprise that Dwight and I will give you!

Merry Christmas, Coach D!
……

……

"Coach, are you alright?"

Du Kang looked at the night outside the window.

"got windy."

　Finally caught up, today's second update.

　　Finally, thank you for your support. In the new month, I will continue to work hard, thank you.
