Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 2 Los Angeles Lakers full of rebels!

The early morning of January 2013, 1 was definitely a carnival midnight for NBA fans.

The Lakers lost to the Grizzlies away, after losing the 12th game in the last 10 games.

The Lakers officially announced the dismissal of the team's head coach D'Antoni, and the team's assistant coach Du Kang will temporarily take over the team's coaching position.

This is breaking news.

For a while, fans of other NBA teams were crazily laughing at the Lakers who changed four head coaches in half a season.

As a giant, the Lakers have a high hatred value in the NBA, and basically no fans of other teams like the Lakers.

The Lakers suffer, everyone is very happy.

The best thing is that the Lakers change a head coach every day, so that everyone can be happy every day.

In fact, the Lakers fans are also very happy at this time, the cheating head coach D'Antoni finally got out.

In the 32 games coached by D'Antoni, many Lakers fans feel that they are not as good as Mike Brown and Beckstaff.

Mike Brown and Beckstaff will never let the Lakers, an old and lacking athletic team, run and bomb.

Nash and Kobe couldn't take it with their old arms and legs.

The key is Nash, the core of running and bombing. He couldn't find an insider who could play pick-and-roll with him in the Lakers.

Howard, athletic, but can he shoot from the corner?
Gasol, can shoot in the mid-range, but has the athleticism to sprint back and forth with Nash?
In this game against the Grizzlies, D'Antoni actually let Gasol play as a substitute, let Earl Clark start, and played 40 minutes, what is this for?
This is the rhythm to abolish the Lakers champion Gasol and support Clark.

Earl Clark worked hard, but he didn't have the ability.

In this game, Howard was blown away by Randolph, Gasol Jr. and Darrell Arthur on the opposite side.

Faced with such a predicament, it is understandable to seek change, but your change needs to be successful and everyone needs to see hope.

D'Antoni's changes in this game were not successful, nor did people see any hope of success.

Moreover, he is still not changing himself. He can change anyone who can't beat his own system. The Lakers' exploits like Gasol can be used.

I have to say that D'Antoni has courage.

But it did make Lakers fans and Jim Buss have a cerebral hemorrhage.

To make meritorious deeds before gaining prestige is to push the player into Aunt Jenny's arms.

Most of the Lakers players originally wanted Aunt Jenny and Mayfair Jackson.

Therefore, 90% of the Lakers' loss to the Grizzlies will be on D'Antoni.

This game let D'Antoni get out of class, just right.

Fans support.

The players also support it. They want to have a wife. Can Kobe agree?Kobe support, that is player support.

Management is also supportive.

People on Jim's side feel that D'Antoni is dragging his feet every day.

Aunt Jenny is also supportive. Jim Shuma slapped herself in the face. Of course she supports it. D'Antoni is gone. With Jim Shumai's connections, it is very difficult to find a famous coach who is willing to come to the Lakers to take the blame.

Not to mention the personality problems of the Lakers players, but the suitability of the Lakers' lineup is very problematic.

Playing a triangle offense with Kobe Gasol as the core, Nash lacks the defensive ability of positional warfare.

With Nash as the core, Gasol's athletic ability is not enough, and Howard's shooting is not enough.

With Howard as the core to play one inside and four outside, Kobe and the Lakers' outside players have insufficient three-point shooting ability.

The Lakers seem to have a strong lineup, but they are actually a hodgepodge.

D'Antoni was devastated by this hodgepodge, which famous coach would dare to step on the pit?

Aren't you afraid of being dismissed when you want to move a star like D'Antoni?

The NBA, after all, is still a league of stars.

Having said that, now that D'Antoni is out of class, the public opinion on the NBA side is all about who can take over as the head coach of the Lakers after D'Antoni is out of class.

Phil Jackson, Rick Carlisle, Van Gundy, Doug Reeves, even the names of the magicians appeared.

Well, there is no option for Du Kang, the acting head coach, to become a regular.

In the United States, Du Kang, the acting head coach of the Lakers, didn't take it seriously.

The NBA's acting head coach basically never became a regular.

What's more, for a championship-winning team like the Lakers, can an assistant coach lead the team?
What an international joke.

The Lakers have found a new head coach, and Du Kang will be dismissed in the next game.

……

……

However, on the other side, it's different.

After the Lakers announced that the team's head coach D'Antoni was dismissed and the team's assistant coach Du Kang took over, it was already midnight, and Hupu was wiped out.

"Really, is this Du Kang really Chinese? A Chinese coach coaches the Lakers? Am I dreaming?"

"I remember that Du Kang seems to have an account in Hupu, and he analyzed some problems with the Lakers in the Lake District before."

"Go, go to the Lake District to watch the Lakers head coach analyze the Lakers' posts!"

"jrs, no need to go, the Lakers head coach Du Kang was considered by the moderators to discredit the stars and stir up infighting among star fans because of his objective analysis of the Lakers' problems. The post was locked and the account was permanently banned. The Lakers assistant coach was banned in the Lake District before, but it was a sensation in Hupu, hahahaha."

"Fuck, is the Lake District so brave? You have sealed your own head coach forever, and now you can no longer tell the truth in the Hupu team zone. To tell the truth is black, is it just to sow discord?"

"The homepage of Hupu is still up. The most professional basketball forum. The more I read this sentence, the more ridiculous I find it. Such a professional forum can't accommodate China's first NBA head coach."

"Isn't this more professional, hahahaha..."

"Damn it, the answer from the upstairs is very graphic, and Teacher Chen is rushing towards me."

……

……

On the American side, it was already late after the game between the Lakers and the Grizzlies.

It was early morning when the Lakers coaching staff had a meeting.

But in China on the other side, the current time is the most exciting afternoon of the day.

The news that Du Kang became the head coach of the Lakers on behalf of the Lakers spread rapidly on major sports media in China.

After all, it is the Lakers, one of the most trafficked teams in the entire sports world, even in China, it is also one of the most trafficked sports teams.

And this directly caused a very serious consequence.

Du Kang's cell phone kept ringing, he didn't have to think about sleeping tonight.

However, even without these calls, he couldn't actually sleep.

Becoming the head coach of the Lakers, even as an acting head coach, made him so excited that he couldn't sleep.

Buzz Buzz!

The phone rang again.

"It's really endless."

Du Kang was complaining, but the expression on his face was very happy.

Although he is only an acting head coach, it can be regarded as a homecoming, right?

He is a top student at UCLA with a bachelor's degree in business economics. After graduation, he did not go to Wall Street to make a lot of money, but went to the Lakers as a basketball coach.

At the time, this puzzled many people.

In the NBA, if you don't become a head coach, you are just an assistant coach at the bottom, and you really can't make much money.

For some of his classmates who went to Wall Street, the bonus of a project is comparable to his annual salary in the Lakers.

The salary is low, there is no future for development, and it is still unstable. If you say you will be fired, you will be fired. There is no guarantee at all. This is like falling into a pit of fire.

Before becoming the head coach of the NBA, what these people said was really true.

If he hadn't been hit by this basketball coaching career system, he wouldn't have come to the NBA as a coach if he was killed.

The person who called him this time was not his high school classmate, nor his college classmate, nor was it a reporter friend.

But his father.

"Hey, son, he's so tender, he's the head coach, and he won't call back to announce the good news!"

The old man was so excited that his dialect became wild, obviously he was a high-level intellectual.

"I'm not just an acting head coach? It's not too late to announce the good news when I become the official head coach."

Du Kang suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said lightly. The excited old Du on the other end of the phone was silent for a while when he heard what Du Kang said.

"In the middle, it's right not to be a ghost, do it well, my son, never be rude!"

Ever since he was a child, he has never disappointed Lao Du.

So Lao Du has always supported his decision.

Without Lao Du's support, he would change careers to the Lakers as an assistant coach, and the pressure would be even greater.

"I know, thanks Dad."

After hanging up on his father's call, Du Kang received many more calls.

It wasn't until four o'clock in the morning that the phone stopped.

"It's like a dream!"

……

……

The Lakers caused a stir the next day by firing D'Antoni.

Du Kang's acting head coach is usually a sentence in the corner of these reports.

However, the local media in Los Angeles did analyze why Eddie Jordan, Hamm, and Clifford were not represented in the end.

Hamm's qualifications are not as good as Du Kang's.

Clifford is Howard's confidant, and the factional color is too strong, which will make Kobe and the others dissatisfied.

As for Eddie Jordan, he is the second assistant coach and should be on the bench after the D'Antoni brothers left.

But Eddie Jordan was hired by Mike Brown, and he belonged to the person who was cleaned before. He was cleaned before, and now he is going to be used. It is still such a critical moment. Shoot it.

Du Kang was different. He was recruited by the team, he belonged to the team, and he was Jim Buss' nail and confidant in the Lakers.

In the NBA, the same is the assistant coach, the composition is not the same.

There are coaches' confidantes, players' confidantes, and bosses' confidantes like Du Kang.

According to the analysis of the local media in Los Angeles, when Jim Buss no longer trusts the coaches of any faction, a confidant coach like Du Kang is the best agent.

"It's not Thanksgiving now, but I hope Du can be grateful for God's gift. The next few days will be the most wonderful days of his coaching career. He will have the opportunity to coach superstars like Kobe, Nash, Gasol and Howard!"

"Maybe not coaching, maybe just being a puppet for a few days, even if it is a puppet, it will be a wonderful experience."

Du Kang must be unwilling to be a puppet for a few days.

And I definitely don't want a dog that can't bark on the sidelines.

Become regular!

Become regular!

Become regular!

What Du Kang is thinking about now is how to become a regular!

The previous acting head coach of the Lakers, Bickerstaff, achieved a record of 4 wins and 1 loss in five games, and was finally replaced by D'Antoni.

If the acting head coach wants to become a regular, the winning rate is one aspect, and the support of the team's superstar players is another aspect.

If the four superstars of the Lakers support him, and his record is also very good, he has a chance to become a regular.

Relatively speaking, the support of superstars is more important than the record.

Therefore, Du Kang must show his ability in the next few games.

The ability to satisfy all the superstars of the Lakers.

A long way to go.

He has been a small transparent assistant coach for the Lakers for half a year, and he knows and can talk to the superstars of the Lakers, but it is only a casual acquaintance.

"Is that playboy Jim crazy? With the current record of the Lakers, every game is very important. If we continue to lose, we will completely lose hope of the playoffs!"

If you want to talk about the superstars of the Lakers, who is the most fighting spirit right now, it must be Kobe.

He still wants to win the championship, and he also wants to catch up with Jordan's six championship achievements.

The Lakers' record is now 17 wins and 25 losses.

Ranked No. 13 in the West after the Thunder, Spurs, Nuggets, Grizzlies, Clippers, Warriors, Houston, Jazz, Mavericks, Timberwolves, Trail Blazers, and Kings.

Just above New Orleans and the Suns.

They are 6 games away from the eighth Jazz in the West.

The Lakers' next game will be a head-to-head confrontation with the Jazz.

This is going to lose, and the Lakers may really lose hope of the playoffs.

7个胜场，最后还有39场比赛，爵士哪怕最后39场20胜19负，湖人都要28胜11负的战绩才行。

Kobe felt that even if he ruined himself, it would be difficult to lead the problematic Lakers to this record.

Therefore, the next game against the Jazz, the Lakers must win!

But the acting head coach, who is 10 years younger than him, can do it?
He has no NBA coaching experience at all.

It's okay for D'Antoni to fire, but the agent should be Eddie Jordan!

"I heard that that kid belongs to Jim. Before Jim announced the dismissal of D'Antoni, that kid knew that D'Antoni was going to leave get out of class."

"..."

Pelinka sighed.

Kobe was speechless.

It turned out to be Jim Buss' secret spy and henchman gathering intelligence on the team.

So what else is there to say?

"Shit!"

I don't know if Kobe said this shit to Buss Jr. or Du Kang, or both.

At this time, at the home of some other superstars in Los Angeles.

"Ron, no, Mehta, that kid is Jim's confidant. These days, be more obedient. He is different from D'Antoni and Mike Brown."

Charity World Peace nodded, and now he still doesn't want to leave Los Angeles.

Mike Brown and D'Antoni have a hard time letting him go, but Jim Buss can.

Don't look at him as irritable, he is actually a person who is very knowledgeable about current affairs. When he came to the Lakers, who saw him messing with Kobe?

"Steve, did D'Antoni really turn green?"

"Dwight, you've asked me a hundred times. The D'Antoni brothers were like being pressed and fed to answer!"

"Hahahaha, I didn't expect Jim to be so bad, hahahaha..."

It's normal to place cronies in the team, but it's rare to insert them so deeply.

Before that, who knew that little transparent teaching assistant was Jim Buss' trusted spy?

"Jim Buss is not a good man, and that kid is not a good man either!"

It's hidden too damn deep, it's just full of bad water.

"Steve, I regret it, Los Angeles Lakers, this is not a team I can grasp."

His little cleverness and black belly look so pure in this Laker.

"Dwight, this is the thousandth time you've regretted it."

"No, Steve, you remember wrongly, plus this time it's a thousand and one times."

……

……

When Du Kang became the acting head coach of the Lakers, there was no disturbance in the American media, but inside the Lakers, it caused a great sensation.

Especially Du Kang and the D'Antoni brothers confronted each other, and after the news that the D'Antoni brothers were dismissed by Jim Buss on the spot, Du Kang's image within the Lakers completely changed.

It used to be a harmless little transparent.

Now he instantly turned into a gloomy and cunning scheming man.

Even Aunt Jenny had heard about Du Kang.

"It seems that we all underestimated Jim's IQ. Jim didn't dare to let other people act as agents. He was afraid that they were all my people and would deliberately lead the team to lose, so he used his hole cards that he had been hiding in the team. To be able to think of these things can be regarded as his long-term vision.”

"Is this young man really a 23-year-old rookie coach?"

"Jenny, don't worry, he hasn't coached a single game in his coaching career, and the Lakers won't win any of the next ten games!"

In the past 12 games, the Lakers have lost 10 games under the leadership of D'Antoni.

As far as the strength of the Lakers' lineup is concerned, if you say that there is no Aunt Jenny in the Lakers, Jim Buss will not believe it.

When Old Buss is dying, at the critical moment of the transfer of power for the Lakers, is there such a coincidence that the Lakers lost so much?
In the next 10 games of the Lakers, only the Bobcats have a lower record than the Lakers, and the others are strong teams.

Thunder, Heat, these super teams in the East and West have to play.

This schedule is worse than when D'Antoni led the team.

D'Antoni led the team to 12 losses in 10 games, and the rookie led the team to 10 losses in 10 games. Is this reasonable?

"That also needs to ensure that no one dares to take over the Lakers."

"Jenny, I promise, no!"

Hearing this assurance, Aunt Jenny smiled.

The longer that young man was in the proxy position, the more he lost, the better for her.

But in the end, the most likely situation is that that idiot Jim can't find a famous coach to take over, and just find an ordinary head coach to replace that young man.

In fact, it doesn't matter.

No matter what that fool Jim does, she has already completed the layout of this Laker.

The current Lakers are a dead end.

Even if Jim got the right of inheritance, he could only leave in despair in the end with failure.

There's no way the Lakers will succeed under Jim's leadership.

No one can stop the Lakers from going to the abyss under the leadership of Jim.

Not including Kobe!
Even if Kobe breaks his two legs, he can't save the Lakers who are now in her hands!
Aunt Jenny is just so confident.

Under the big play of the Lakers, even Kobe is just a pawn!

……

……

It's hard to deal with the mundane affairs after finishing serving as the acting head coach of the Lakers.

Du Kang can finally stay in the apartment with peace of mind and turn on the upgraded system.

Name: Du Kang

Position: Los Angeles Lakers acting head coach

Contract: $2 million for 20 years

MP points: 2512
Attack: D
Defense: E
Player inspection: D
Player training: D
Potential: A+
This is the main interface of the individual.

Not a small change.

However, the biggest change in the system is the addition of several sections.

From left to right: calendar, coach office, coaching, player scouting, training.

The calendar is for the Lakers' upcoming schedule.

The next game the Lakers will face the Jazz at home on January 1.

"Hey, can I order the game calendar?"

Du Kang clicked on the game calendar between the Lakers and the Jazz.

"Would you like to consume 100MP to simulate this game?"

amount.

no!
Du Kang immediately refused.

100MP is not a small amount. If you simulate 100 points at a time, if it’s just a compass deduction and you can’t bring the simulation results to reality, wouldn’t it be a loss?
When you have more points in the future, you can simulate it before the official start of the game, which can be regarded as training.

Du Kang clicked on the second interface, the coach's office.

The large interface of the coach office has ten sub-options.

Lineup rosters, player search, free agency, contract extensions, viewing draft picks, proposing trades, trade finder, G League free agency, salary cap lists, and uniform groups.

"Is this my right to be the head coach of the Lakers?"

Du Kang was stunned.

"I am a mere acting head coach. Can I manage player renewals? Can I propose a deal? Can I sign free agents?"

Although he has deeply felt the power of the system in the past few years, he is still shocked now.

"Does the system really have such a great power?"

Du Kang clicked on the free agent with some excitement.

He wants to try the depth of the system!
Rank according to the overall rating!

Ranked first is Yi Jianlian with an overall rating of 79!

Du Kang clicked on Yi Jianlian.

There are four options on the interface.

"Ding, free agent Yi Jianlian accepts the Lakers' contract."

Accepted? !

So, will the Lakers sign Yi Jianlian in reality?

If so...

Then his power as acting head coach will be great!

Jim Shushu's authority, he can also use it!

Du Kang clenched his hands excitedly.

Could this be a puppet? !

Maybe, he can really become a regular!
