Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 221 Do you know what cruelty is? I just want to win!
In G6 of the Finals between the Lakers and the Knicks, the Lakers' chief assistant coach Darwin Hamm announced the Lakers' starting lineup before the game.

There is no Yao Ming in the starting lineup. Everyone thought that Darwin Hamm was crazy and went berserk. Do you know the importance of Yao Ming to the Lakers in this finals?

No matter how strong Coach D is, he can't beat the Knicks without Yao Ming, right?
When Hamm announced the starting lineup, all the reporters present did not believe it.

Then, this is actually true!

At 2014:6 p.m. on June 15, 8, at Madison Square Garden.

Before the game started, the New York Knicks fans were attacking Du Kang and the Lakers frantically.

Fans of the New York Knicks can't wait to turn this game into a bloody massacre between the Lakers and Coach D and Los Angeles from the very beginning of the game.

However, while the New York Knicks attacked Du Kang and the Lakers, the Knicks fans at the scene were also very curious, apprehensive and looking forward to whether the Lakers' starting lineup in this game is really the one announced by Hamm before the game.

The game started, and the starters of the two teams walked onto the court.

For the Knicks at home, the starting lineup is the regular starting lineup of Howard, James, Anthony, Beasley and Wade.

As for the Lakers in the away game, the starting lineup is Artest, Ebanks, McAway, Reggie Miller and Roy.

Seeing the starting lineup of the Lakers, the New York Knicks fans who were originally emotional on the spot team are now even more crazy.

Not to mention the New York Knicks fans at the scene, even the Lakers fans at the scene are holding their heads in their hands at this time, crazy 'Oh my god! '.

In the commentary booth of TNT, O'Neill, Barkley and Kenny Smith were also yelling inconceivably.

In such a game, putting Yao Ming on the bench is no longer a matter of courage, it is already a matter of IQ!

"The whole world knows that the New York Knicks will attack Yao in today's game. We all know that Yao will encounter huge troubles in tonight's game. Without Yao, I have no idea how the Lakers are going to beat the New York Knicks!"

"I totally agree with Shaq this time, even if coach D really suspects that Yao will be in trouble, he should put Yao on the court and let the world see the darkness, so that the Lakers can still get sympathy. On Yao, in the end the Lakers lost, everyone can't see the darkness, they only think that the New York Knicks won is fair and square, and in the end everyone will only think that Coach D is an idiot!"

The truth is a very simple truth.

The finals between the Heat and the Lakers last season let everyone see how dark the NBA game can be.

So this time the Lakers' road trip, many people have expectations, and Coach D will think that there is no problem in this regard.

The only problem is that you really can't do this!

Anyway, you should wait for the Lakers to suppress the New York Knicks, and then consider replacing Yao early or taking other countermeasures after the final shots!

Now that those people don't move, you are too scared to take the medicine, which is putting the cart before the horse.

Therefore, at this time, not only the fans and commentators on the scene, even the audience and fans on the Internet are already arguing.

And this is only in the United States. On the Chinese Internet, irascible Chinese fans are already greeting David Stern and the entire NBA family.

For the son of James, David Stern and the NBA are really crazy.

Not to mention the problem that James can walk freely in the game.

Not to mention that James was not allowed to defend with hands back then.

Just before this year's playoffs, Adam Silver, the vice president of the league, suddenly proposed that in this year's playoffs, the defense at the basket must jump straight up and down, otherwise if there is physical contact, the defensive player will be judged to be fouled.

This is no longer performed, and the rule of not allowing hands-on was finally abolished, and now there is another rule that is more disgusting than not being allowed to start.

Isn't this going to abolish all defensive insiders in the league?
As far as James' walking privilege is concerned, he hits the basket, and the inside defense of the basket can only go straight up and down. How can he defend this?

Just like that, the James that you are raving about can't beat my Yao.

Now I want to play even darker ones, who can stand this!

But now, as Barkley and O'Neal said, Coach D was persuaded before the Knicks committed a crime. This made it impossible for everyone to catch the Knicks.

So now the irascible Chinese fans are also spraying the 2013 finals.

So far in the 2014 finals, except for James' walking problem, except that the Lakers have no home whistle, it is not particularly black.

And this is where the irascible Chinese fans feel uncomfortable.

Our coach Xiao Du thought it was understandable to overreact after experiencing the 2013 finals.

However, the reaction was too aggressive, so they didn't let them find a handle and spray point.

With so many eyes watching, you will be caught if you reach out. Before the Knicks reached out, Coach D called him a thief. Of course, this cannot be justified.

Even the Chinese fans who support Du Kang infinitely feel that it is inappropriate and can only complain about 2013. It is the previous behavior of the league that scared our coach Du.

It is conceivable that at the scene, in Madison Square, how crazy the Knicks Dj would be mocking Du Kang and the Lakers.

"Coach D is using his own malice to speculate about our great New York Knicks, our champions are dignified, we can't do things like the Miami Heat!
Coach D comparing the great New York Knicks with the Miami Heat will only show his naivety and narrowness! "

"As the greatest team in the NBA, we will use our nobility to reflect the stupidity of Coach D and the cowardice of the Lakers!!!!"

"Coach D!"

"Aw~ stupid!!!"

"Los Angeles Lakers!"

"Aw~ cowardly!!!"

Listening to the wild boos and ridicules of the New York Knicks fans, Hamna, who replaced Du Kang at the press conference and announced the team's starting lineup in advance, really couldn't understand.

"Du, I don't think it should be like this even if you protect Yao!"

Hamm even felt that many voices at the scene were right.

Even if the opponent wants to open the black, we have to wait for the opponent to open the black before acting, otherwise we will be too cowardly, and we will scare ourselves before others make a move.

"Darwin, can compassion bring us victory?"

"..."

"When Yao is on the court, when should we let him off the court, the first foul? The second foul? The third foul? What if Yao gets two or three fouls in a minute? "

"..."

"Why did Du ask you to announce the pre-match starters in advance? It is to make the Lakers players more psychologically prepared. We need to control our destiny in our own hands, not in the hands of others. We need to take the initiative, not passive."

"..."

Du Kang didn't answer, and Clifford next to him helped Du Kang answer these questions.

When Clifford finished speaking, Hamm was dumbfounded.

"Don't look at me like that. I asked Du a long time ago. This is what Du told me. I think what Du said is right. We don't need other people's sympathy. We don't need to accept these things passively. We need to take the initiative to attack. .”

Clifford looked at Du Kang, and continued talking to Hamm and Nash.

"We just need this win!"

We just need this game to win!

But does doing so really bring victory?

Can the Lakers start without Yao really stand up to the New York Knicks?
This is the key.

Ham didn't know it, Nash didn't know it, and Clifford didn't know it himself.

So the three looked at Du Kang at the same time.

At this time, Du Kang's eyes were on the field.

And on the court, the game officially begins!
In this game, the Lakers did not start with Yao Ming, and they looked so weak. Anyone who was the New York Knicks would be very excited and excited.

Even the referee team at the scene breathed a sigh of relief.

They don't even need a shot, and the New York Knicks can seal the victory before Yao plays.

In such a high-profile game, Coach D removed Yao from the starting lineup in advance because he was afraid of them making a move. They are also under a lot of pressure now, with so many pairs of eyes staring at them. Uproar thing.

Even after they glanced at each other, they felt that the first quarter of this game could be biased towards the Lakers to make them look more fair.

In the previous two games, because of Yao Ming, the performances of the two leading players of the New York Knicks, James and Howard, were very average.

Especially G5 and G4 also brushed some data.

In G5, the two were beaten to death by Yao Ming, thanks to Anthony and Beasley's singles and Wade's mid-range shooting.

The two of them played like supporting roles on offense.

Now that Yao Ming is not present, what do you think these two people will think?
Of course, if you want to start the game, you will attack wildly!
Is such a good opportunity worthy of me for not attacking madly?
After the opening, James took the ball and went inside to kill.

Without Yao Ming on the court, the Lakers' defense is of course a shrinking defense.

In addition to Artest, who played center in this game, the Lakers' strongest defense is Ebanks.

Except for these two.

Roy, McAway and Reggie Miller are all so-so defensively.

These three people can do anyone.

If you do it from likes and dislikes, of course it's the kid McAway.

After the first two games, someone actually said that his lifelong enemy is McAway!
Fake!

He is a great emperor, and his lifelong enemy is not only Kobe but also Durant.

Which onion is McAwie?
But obviously, from the perspective of cost-effectiveness, of course Reggie Miller is more easy to bully.

Facing the Lakers' shrinking defense, James is really fierce!
After picking and rolling with Wade, he stepped on the accelerator and killed Reggie Miller directly.

But here comes the question, is Reggie Miller really that easy to bully?
Those who feel that Reggie Miller is easy to bully must have never watched the match between Miller and Jordan.

After Magic Monty became famous, some good people ranked the five best players who defended Jordan in NBA history.

Among them, Monty Williams ranked first. He played against Jordan seven times in his career, so that Jordan averaged only 38.5% of his field goals and 25.3 points per game.

This is a unique existence.

Then it was the turn of the second glove Payton.

Payton played against Jordan 21 times in his career, allowing Jordan to average 29.6 points per game and shooting 45.6% from the field. Just scored 41.5 points.

If it weren't for the amazing Monty in front of him, Payton would be the only Jordan finisher.

The No.3 Jordan Terminator is Moncrief. The rookie Joe suffered a loss in the hands of Moncrief. In the 85 playoffs, Danzi was embarrassed by Moncrief. In those years, Danzi met The Bucks will always be very uncomfortable, but after the broken leg passed through the young Qiao period, Danzi opened up when he met Moncrief, and Moncrieff could no longer stop Danzi.

The fourth-ranked Jordan Terminator is Joe Dumars. Well, there is nothing to say about this. This is a target set by Danzi himself. Dumars is the only man in the Pistons. Even if you think the Pistons defend me well, That's not because of those bastards, but because of Joe Dumas. As for whether it is true or not, Danzi said yes, so it's possible that you guys know Danzi better than Danzi?Anyway, Danzi felt that he accepted being terminated by Joe Dumars, and he definitely did not recognize being terminated by Thomas, Dantley, Lambiel, Rodman and others.

But Joe Dumars is indeed the main defender. The effect of the main defense is of course not that good. Playing against the Pistons, playing against Joe Dumars, Danzi scored all kinds of high scores.

The Pistons played against the Bulls, and the defense mainly relied on the group of thugs on the side to assist in the defense. This group of thugs really scared everyone in the Bulls except Danzi crazy, and they dared not attack except Danzi.

So Joe Dumars' Jordan Terminator meant that Jordan himself presented the award himself.

And behind Joe Dumars is Reggie Miller.

Reggie Miller doesn't look thin, when his off-ball running ability is very strong, off-ball defense is very strong, and in the late Jordan, he played off the ball a lot of the time, Reggie Miller's octopus-style brown sugar defense Facing Reggie Miller is really a headache.

Otherwise, Reggie Miller is Jordan's lifelong enemy, and Danzi is so angry that he breaks the defense, saying that Reggie Miller's defense is the same as the damn woman.

Well, the five Jordan terminators, except for the amazing Monty, the other four were all overturned by Danzi in the end.

It can be seen that apart from the magical Monty, there is actually no Jordan Terminator at all in this world.

These four people only caused some troubles in Jordan's career.

However, it is already a very rare thing to cause some troubles in Danzi's career.

And the player who can make Danzi trouble, Reggie Miller, how could it be so simple.

Reggie Miller now has [-]% of his peak athletic ability, plus a body that is heavier than his peak, plus his experience.

It would be a disadvantage for Jordan to fight Reggie Miller so directly, let alone James.

James slammed into Reggie Miller fiercely, and the two fell out directly.

Reggie Miller fell.

And James followed suit.

Reggie Miller did it on purpose.

And James was brought down by Reggie Miller.

If James is any player, the ball must be an offensive foul.

If you rush over in such a straight line, if you can't pass, it is a foul, and there is nothing to say.

But this is James!
Calling an offensive foul at the beginning, do you still want to be in the NBA in the future?

However, Reggie Miller's defensive action is very clean. Apart from losing his balance and bringing James down, there is really no other way to boast.

And this one is Reggie Miller!
They dare to brag about Yao Ming, but they dare not brag about Reggie Miller.

Compared with Reggie Miller, Yao Ming's status in the American basketball world is definitely incomparable.

Reggie Miller's prestige and status in the NBA is at the historical super giant level.

James was lying on the ground writhing in pain, while Wade and Anthony were chasing the referee to foul.

Finally the referee gritted his teeth, the ball was not a foul!
It's not an offensive foul or a defensive foul, the two teams are fighting for the ball!

James and Reggie Miller scramble for the ball.

This penalty actually awarded the ball to the Knicks again.

Although Reggie Miller was not called a foul, it was actually a foul by Reggie Miller.

Even Reggie Miller can't win unless you James jumps the ball.

However, James was very dissatisfied with this penalty.

James, who was still rolling on the ground just now, jumped up with a bang, then spread his hands, and rushed to the referee shocked, angry, puzzled, innocent, and desperately looking at the referee.

"Fack! Didn't you see? He kicked me down! It's a foul, it's a proper foul!"

No matter how James complained, the referee did not change his penalty.

James and Reggie Miller jump the ball.

In the end, James won the jump ball, the Knicks had the ball, and the offense continued.

After this incident, the smell of gunpowder between the two teams came up in an instant.

Originally, Coach D asked Yao to substitute for this game, which caused the anger of the two teams to soar.

The Knicks fans felt that Coach D looked down on us. Before the game was played, they said that we were invincible.

And the Lakers fans think that you guys are acting good after getting the benefits.

It is difficult for you to say that the players of the two teams do not have such emotions.

Coach D's behavior, isn't this directly putting LeBron James on the fire?

Not to mention James, ordinary players can't stand Coach D's behavior, right?

So at the beginning of the game, James' impatience was visible to the naked eye.

When the Knicks attacked this time, James broke through from the left, disliked the referee next to him, and even pushed the referee away.

groove!
Seeing this scene, many viewers in front of the TV were stunned.

If this were an ordinary player, he would have been sent off directly and then suspended, right?
But being pushed by James like this, the referee didn't say anything at all. After quickly getting up from the ground, he started calling the game again.

This treat!
I don't know how many players watched in front of the TV and cried with envy.

"So, no player in the NBA will really respect him!"

Heat point guard Chalmers in front of the TV said disdainfully.

When he was in the Heat, he was one of the people who were most upset with James.

On the court, the Knicks continued to attack. James was still making a strong attack this time, but the target of the strong attack was replaced by McAway.

It's just that McAway's speed burst and agility are very strong, and James' breakthrough failed again.

In the end, James received the ball, held the ball with both hands, and rushed to the right.

This is really impossible to defend.

However, McAway was already mentally prepared for this, followed behind James, and formed a flank attack on James with Artest at the basket.

James forcibly rode Artest under the basket for a layup!
Clang!
Strike it!

Ebanks grabbed the backcourt rebound.

Forward players with five points and above 1 meters shrink, James did not choose to shoot outside, did not choose to distribute the ball to Anthony and Wade Beasley for their shooting, and finally attacked like this.

I don't know how many expert fans watching the TV are shaking their heads.

"The Knicks' offense is too unreasonable!"

Even Teacher Zhang Lili was surprised at this time.

"Coach D's sowing dissension has caused more damage to the Knicks than we thought!"

The finals have reached G6, and the Knicks are still deeply disunity!
James' attack just now, even if he passed the ball to Howard in the end instead of forcing Artest!

But in the end he beat Artest at the basket!

Now that Yao Ming doesn't start, the Knicks not only didn't get the chance, they were even caught by the Lakers!

Compared with the Knicks' completely unstructured and selfish style of play, the Lakers' offense is much more structured.

Artest serves from the top of the arc.

McAway came out from the left 45-degree three-point line to catch the ball.

After receiving the ball, McAway quickly screened and rolled with Ebanks, and then took advantage of the trend to cut in.

"This style of play... is a bit like a Spurs!"

Seeing the Lakers' style of play, the magician on the scene was taken aback for a moment.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar next to the magician's eyes lit up.

"UCLA air cut!!!"

In the regular season of this season, when coach D was not suspended, he used Maizi and Yao Ming Kobe to play UCLA air cuts.

That's a pure inside UCLA cut.

But this time, coach D used the outside line like the Spurs!

"I heard that Coach D organized a group to practice secret tactics in the Lakers last season. After being suspended this season, Coach D has been training young players. The secret tactics that Coach D won't practice is UCLA air cuts, right?!"

Budenholzer said dumbfoundedly in front of the TV.

There is no problem with coach D making UCLA air cuts, and no one will have any doubts.

After all, Coach D broke the Spurs' UCLA cut in the playoffs for two consecutive seasons.

However, does it mean that it can be built in the team.

Especially a team with great mobility like the Lakers.

The Lakers led by Coach D claim to be rebuilding every year.

Budenholzer felt that if he put himself in the Lakers, it would be absolutely impossible to create a UCLA cut!

"Mike, don't use yourself to judge others. Steve can make UCLA look good in the Warriors for one year. Coach D has been in the Lakers for two years."

Popovich's eyes lit up.

As one of the people in the world who knows the best about UCLA air cuts.

Of course he can see that the Lakers' UCLA air cut is not tacit enough, not even comparable to last season's Spurs.

However, it is barely the same level as Cole built in the Warriors.

This is actually not easy.

After all, McGrady and Kobe Yao Ming are not here.

"But... it's enough."

Popovich smiled.

Mayfair Jackson has been with the New York Knicks for a year, leaving no traces. New York Knicks players rely on talent to play.

This is true on both ends of the offense and defense.

And UCLA air cut is the strongest tactic to hide talent!
As long as you can type it out and be patient, there will always be opportunities.

Four passes are the most perfect. If there is no chance for four passes, then five times. If five times is not enough, then six times. Even as long as 24 seconds are enough, as long as your pass does not make mistakes, you can do whatever you want Pass, run, cut.

once!
twice!

three times!

Not even four times!five times!six times!

It wasn't until the seventh time that Roy broke through and distributed the ball to Reggie Miller who was outside the three-point line, and Reggie Miller got the best chance.

Reggie Miller ran to the top of the arc and received a pass from Roy, jumped up quickly, and shot!
It wasn't until Reggie Miller made a shot that James rushed over!
A swipe!
Three point hit!

The Lakers lead 3-0 away!

"Fack! It's really a cut from UCLA!!!"

Many experts in front of the TV were stunned.

Even if the Lakers' UCLA air cut level is not that high, as the New York Knicks who have never seen it before, it is impossible to adapt to not having half a game or even a game!

At the very least, in the first quarter, it is absolutely impossible for the New York Knicks to adapt!
"Coach D can't really beat the New York Knicks without Yao?!"

Nine minutes into the first quarter.

The Los Angeles Lakers in the away game have already led 12 to 6 by 6 points.

Without Yao Ming, the New York Knicks were at a loss in front of the Los Angeles Lakers' UCLA cut.

In the opening 4 minutes, Reggie Miller actually hit 3 three-pointers!
If this game continues, the New York Knicks game will be really dangerous!
The on-duty referee team, who had originally thought about whether the game was biased towards the Lakers, was stunned.

Do James and Howard want to be like this!

Can't even play this game?

Wouldn't it be good to let teammates throw away first, and then harvest by yourself?

Do you have to beat yourself up as soon as you come up? !

The truth is that this truth is correct.

But for James, if he is slow to reap, Howard will reap.

For Howard, if he is slow to reap, James will reap.

This is simply unsolvable.

James and Howard played impatiently, and even affected their teammates to play impatiently.

For NBA teams, there are 44 minutes left in the game, and they are behind by 6 points.

However, the key is that the opponent's Yao Ming has not played yet!
The point is, the New York Knicks must win this game!

In this case, the New York Knicks can't even win the Lakers lineup, which makes people angry.

Then, the game that followed was astounding.

In the last 8 minutes of the first quarter, the referee on duty went crazy.

In just 8 minutes, the Lakers were called 15 fouls, and in just 8 minutes, the New York Knicks were given 26 free throws!
After the first quarter, the New York Knicks led the Lakers 49 to 38 at home by 11 points!
In just 8 minutes, from 6 points behind to 11 points ahead, chasing 17 points!
The performance of the New York Knicks is quite explosive!

Such an explosive game will definitely drive the New York Knicks fans crazy, right?

However, this is not the case.

After the first quarter, the entire Madison Square was silent.

After the first quarter, it seems that the Lakers are not leading by 11 points, but the Knicks!

In fact, New York is so confident in this game, and I also thought that I would have a strong home whistle in this game.

but!

They never thought that their home whistle would reach such a level!

In this game, there was no plan for the Lakers to win at all, right?

The first quarter is over.

McAway fouled three times, Roy fouled three times, Ebanks fouled three times, Reggie Miller and Artest fouled twice.

Does the Lakers really have to play this game?

At the end of the first quarter, the entire commentary booth was shocked.

Especially in the commentary booth of TNT, the well-informed trio was completely confused at this time.

"Shaq, do you still think Coach D is overreacting?"

"..."

O'Neill was dumbfounded.

How can this be that Coach D is overreacting!
This is simply the reaction of the NBA referee team in this game is too extreme!
O'Neal even felt that if Yao was to start this game, he doubted that Yao might be sent off in the first quarter!

groove!
This whistleblowing is too cruel! ! !

"I think Coach D and the Lakers can give up this game!"

"Even if Coach D and the Lakers give up this game, they are still heroes!"

After a brief silence, the entire Madison Square was boiling.

At this time, the atmosphere in Madison Square was very strange.

In the commentary booth, the commentators from various countries are shocked. The referee’s matter is a very controversial matter. It’s hard to say that the referee’s calls are unfounded. Every call must have a basis, otherwise they can’t be in the NBA. the referee.

However, even if there is a basis, it is difficult for you to say that such whistleblowing is correct.

But not so for the fans at the scene.

Now that you have benefited, you can't resist, just accept it!
Since this is a match that must be won, let's be even more arrogant!

Therefore, Spike Lee, who was about to open champagne after the victory, opened the champagne at the end of halftime.

86 to 73 at halftime, leading by 13 points at halftime, and more importantly, after halftime, the Lakers had committed 28 fouls!

"Crazy, really crazy!!!"

Everyone is crazy about this crazy game.

And in the Lakers locker room.

"I have no sympathy for this game!

In this game, I just want to win! "

　I wish the book friends who take the college entrance examination every day, the college entrance examination goes well, come on!
