Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 286 It Doesn't Matter To Give You 20 Points!

On February 2015, 2, the news of the regular season between the Lakers and the Celtics at home was made very big.

In the history of the NBA, it has been a long time since such a powerful Celtics and Lakers existed at the same time.

In the three years from 2008 to 2010, the Lakers and Celtics were not so strong, and they were not so topical.

In those three years, in fact, James and his Cavaliers were also very topical. It is difficult for you to say that the protagonist of the NBA is Kobe or the Big Three of the Celtics.

But this season, there is no doubt that the protagonists of the NBA are the Celtics and the Lakers.

After halfway through the NBA, the Lakers' record is 49 wins and 4 losses. Do you know the gold content of this record?
The Bulls' record of 72 wins and 10 losses was 42 wins and 5 losses. In terms of winning percentage, the Lakers' winning percentage this season is still higher than that of the Bulls.

Although there are not many voices starting to hype the Lakers to create a new regular season record, there are also.

Regardless of whether the Lakers achieved such a record by luck or by something, the current Lakers have just played the best half-time record in NBA history.

The Boston Celtics are the team with the fewest losses in the last 30 games in the NBA. They only lost one game, which was the Christmas game against the Lakers.

Throughout January, the Celtics have not lost a game, and throughout February, the Celtics have also not lost so far.

Now the Celtics have won 20 games in a row, which is the team with the most consecutive games in the NBA.

Many people say that whether the MVP of the regular season this season is James or Seth Curry depends on the final result of this game.

According to the current state of the Celtics, there is no problem at all after winning this game, winning all the way to 27 consecutive victories, or even 30 consecutive victories. It is even possible to win all the way to the end of the season?

Not to mention the winning streak until the end of the season, if the Celtics can win 30 games in a row, Seth Curry will take the lead to compete with James for the regular season MVP position.

On the other hand, if the Lakers can beat the Celtics in this game and the Lakers can achieve a record of 73 wins this season, it will be difficult for James to compete with Seth Curry.

In January, the Lakers lost to the Rockets and Spurs one after another. Some strong teams in the West still hurt the Lakers a lot.

It is not easy for the Lakers to achieve a record of 73 wins, so in a dialogue with a strong team like the Lakers, if you can win, you will win, and if you lose, there may be some slight gaps.

Of course, compared with the Celtics who need to win in this game, the Lakers are indeed not that urgent.

After all, the Celtics are pursuing a winning streak, and any fool can see that James is pursuing a winning streak, and a winning streak cannot be lost.

The Lakers are pursuing 73 wins. There will be some problems if they lose a game, but if they can win back later, then the problem will not be that big.

However, the news of this game is so big now that the whole world is arguing about the brotherhood between James and Wade, and the question of who cheated whom.

So before the game started, the two teams were talking wildly, dazzled the fans, experts and media who were following the game.

"We lost the Christmas game, but the loss in that game is not our real strength. Our real strength is that we led by 28 points in the first half, and we still have the best chance to beat the Lakers at the last moment. Anyone who has watched the game knows that we are the strongest one, this game, we will not let the victory slip away, we will tell the Lakers in Los Angeles, who is the best team in the NBA!"

"I know what you want to ask, yes, I am very good friends with LeBron and Dwyane, I will not comment on their affairs, but now LeBron is the best one , no, in recent years, LeBron has been the best one, maybe all the time, LeBron has been the best one, all, some of your questions I don't even know how to answer, at least , LeBron will never cheat his good brother, at least, he has never cheated me, at least, in my opinion, he is definitely not the kind of player you say that the championship who is not FMVP does not want. "

Paul, who is a mutual friend of Wade and James, was really busy after he came to Los Angeles.

Those who support James said that Wade deliberately cheated James and did not work hard.

People who support Wade said that James is not the FMVP championship, and deliberately hacked Wade's top ten and championship.

As Paul, a mutual friend of the two, many of his statements are actually very important.

Paul himself knew that he did not avoid these questions, and Paul also knew that he could not avoid such questions.

Isn't it the FMVP championship?
If James really wants to make such a black spot, James' entire career will be over.

Therefore, even if he didn't know what happened inside the Heat, Paul knew that he couldn't be silent, and being silent was acquiescing at this time.

"I watched the 2011 finals many times. After the Heat's Big Three failed against Nowitzki, I had a very sincere conversation with Dwyane. Dwyane has always been a very sincere person. I Wade was once asked about loyalty.

Dwyane told me, Chris, let me tell you, there is no loyalty in professional sports. Dwyane never hides his views and opinions. Dwyane has always been such a sincere person.

This kind of Dwyane, when he told me about LeBron, he was ready to let LeBron be the top card of this team after the formation of the Heat's Big Three. LeBron didn't need the eight-point release of the finals .

At that time, Dwyane had already suffered a serious injury. At that time, Dwyane knew very well that it was impossible for him to carry the team to win the championship like he did in 2006 after his serious injury. At that height, he knew very well that he needed a more powerful person by his side.

And this person is LeBron!

Therefore, there is no such thing as Dwyane and LeBron giving up the championship in order to compete for MVP or FMVP.

Therefore, the matter you are discussing now does not exist at all, and I can prove that it definitely does not! "

Paul's words were very decisive, but none of the reporters at the scene gave Paul face.

As soon as Paul finished speaking, a reporter on the scene spoke.

"Chris, I believe what you said is true, but what you said can only prove that Wade didn't, Wade didn't plan to compete with James for FMVP, other than that, it can't prove anything!"

After the reporter finished speaking, Paul felt a little embarrassed.

However, the awkward atmosphere only froze for a moment, and Paul continued to answer.

"FMVP, LeBron definitely wants it. This is true. Any player wants such an honor, including me. If I have the opportunity, I also hope to get the MVP of the finals. Moreover, because Dehuai En won the championship and won the FMVP, but at that time, I, LeBron, Melo, we did not win, but so what? In our hearts, the championship must be above the FMVP, and the FMVP us We haven't won it, and we haven't won the championship, and I emphasize once again, the championship is above the FMVP!"

Paul's answer like this must be difficult to convince the public. This topic has been arguing for so long now, how could it be possible to be persuaded by some words like Paul's.

"Chris, have you ever thought that if Dwyane won the championship, won the FMVP and LeBron in the finals that year, he would completely become Wade's Pippen? Now, you still think, that Is the championship above the FMVP? Maybe, for you, it is like this, but for LeBron at that time, is that championship, not the top championship, really necessary? Even, even LeBron Does Brown want, the guys behind LeBron, to allow LeBron to get a championship as Scottie Pippen?"

After the Los Angeles reporter finished speaking, a needle could be heard instantly, and Chris Paul was immediately dumbfounded.

However, Paul did not dare to let himself continue to be stupid.

This question is too damn difficult, but no matter how difficult it is, you have to answer it!

"I think your logic is a bit problematic. LeBron's original thinking was that if he went to the Heat, he must be successful, and he would definitely not want to fail. He just went to the Heat, not one, not two, not even three. Four, five, six. His thought at the time was that since he came to the Heat, and since he teamed up with Dwyane, he must do it. If the Heat really beat the Mavericks that year, how would you know? LeBron will not play the same performance against the Celtics in G7 in 2012 in G6. Why did the final FMVP default to Dwyane?
If there is a chance to win, LeBron will definitely not be bad. If he can win in G6, he will definitely win, because he still has a chance in G7!
Your logic is that you presuppose a result, but things should not be like this. In your presupposition, LeBron gave up the game and didn't want to win, but this is wrong! "

"So, Chris, what you mean is that LeBron is simply not strong enough, simply restrained by the Mavericks, and is simply an undercover agent for Cai, not an undercover agent with intention?"

groove!
Fake!

Chris Paul was dumbfounded again.

Do you want to be so talkative!
The other reporters on the scene couldn't help but laugh out loud at this moment. The reporters in Los Angeles were already prepared!

Scoundrel and rookie, you have to sit down for James!
What if you don't want to?
Chris Paul was already in a cold sweat after being rectified.

"Chris, a player who can't even beat JJ Barea, how shameless he is, dare to say that Dwyane Wade cheated him?"

"..."

Just when Paul didn't know what to say for a while, Zach Randolph next to Paul pulled Paul's microphone in front of him.

"It's meaningless to say more about this question. The most meaningful thing now is that I want to kick the Los Angeles Lakers for 50 points, and LeBron James wants to score [-] points on Wade's head!"

After Zach Randolph gritted his teeth, Paul next to him froze for a moment, but soon, a smile appeared on Paul's face.

The words are rough and the rationale is not rough.

Yes, what are you doing with so many fakes?
It's very simple. In this game, the Celtics came here not to reason with the Lakers. James is not one of those fans, and James has no intention of coming to Los Angeles to reason. Tonight's game, the Boston Celtics came to do it to the Lakers of!

He was almost taken into a ditch by reporters in Los Angeles just now.

"Zach was right, now the past is in the past, we all need to move forward, now LeBron is a player for the Boston Celtics, and Dwyane is a player for the Los Angeles Lakers, LeBron Sublimated in Boston, and Dwyane has also completed his rebirth under Coach D, for us, the present is more important than the past, and the future is also more important than the past."

"Last game, the Los Angeles Lakers made us suffer, and this game, we will make the Los Angeles people feel the same pain, and that's what we're here for."

"Chris, do you think you guys can easily beat the Lakers in Los Angeles?"

"Isn't it? Or, do you think, your Los Angeles Lakers have a chance to win us? By whom, continue to rely on your three veterans? Or, rely on Dwyane?"

After Chris Paul finished speaking, he stood up with a hahahaha laugh, and left with Randolph, leaving the reporters looking at each other in blank dismay.

Seeing the back of Paul leaving, the expressions on the faces of reporters in Los Angeles were extremely ugly.

Taunted by Paul!

However, it is also understandable.

The three veterans of the Lakers, except for Barkley, the other two withered again after the Christmas game!
All kinds of undercover.

Although the record of the Lakers is very good, the performance of Pierce and Garnett is very troublesome.

After the Christmas game, many people are looking forward to Pierce and Garnett being the leaders of the Lakers, and even Pierce and Garnett themselves are looking forward to becoming the leaders of the Lakers.

then……

The result is embarrassing.

I have never seen such a good leader!
In the end, the Lakers had no choice but to organize the whole team to let Seth Curry throw when Wade had a problem with his mentality.

Seth Curry averaged 1 three-pointers per game throughout January, which definitely refreshed the perception of many experts and fans.

Before Seth Curry came out with coach D's Falk basketball, no one at all imagined that a player could shoot 20 of 2 and 19 of 1 three-pointers in one game .

According to the concept of traditional NBA basketball, players with such statistics should be destroyed humanely!

So, you see that the Lakers have a great record now, right?

It is indeed very powerful, 49 wins and 4 losses, I have never seen a better half-time record than this.

But neither the Lakers fans nor the Los Angeles reporters dare to regard the Lakers as a real strong team.

No one knows who the Lakers can win in the playoffs, maybe...

"The Los Angeles Lakers are the Black Eight's biggest seed this season!"

"I heard that many teams are already planning to drop to the eighth place in the Western Conference. Fortunately, they will play the Lakers in the first round of the playoffs!"

"So, being so satirized by Chris Paul, these Los Angeles reporters at the scene couldn't even refute, because they also thought the same way, hahahaha... Coach D really made this team that could not make the playoffs. Taken to an unbelievable height!"

"So, record is record, and strength is strength. For the Lakers this season, record and strength must be separated, otherwise, there will be problems, expectations are too high, and it is easy to collapse, hahahaha..."

"Who do you prefer for tonight's game?"

"Of course the Boston Celtics! In this game, the Celtics must win by at least 20 points!"

"Will the referee make trouble in this game?"

"Even if you don't make trouble, it's still a 20-point start!"

"What about James and Wade?"

"Wade scored 30 points in this game, and LeBron James scored 50 points on Wade's head!"

"Where's Coach D and Wonderful Monty?"

"It's hard to say, Magic Monty, he should win, right? Magic Monty has always been Coach D's nemesis."

"No, Magic Monty is the nemesis of all NBA coaches. You hit yours and I hit mine. The coaching philosophy of Magic Monty is incredible! Such a concept, coupled with the Celtics who are invincible, It is simply invincible!

If it wasn't for the Christmas game that James didn't listen to Magic Monty, I don't even know how Magic Monty lost the game! "

"Yeah, Amazing Monty has won 20 games in a row, even after the Celtics recovered from the civil strife, they lost the Christmas game!"

"In short, this game is so exciting, this may be my last game of the regular season!"

"Hahahaha, this game is my last game of this season. It is very difficult for the Lakers to enter the finals, so this is the last yellow-green game of this season!"

In the last yellow-green battle of this season, there are definitely not a few fans with this mentality.

Not only many Lakers fans who are playing at home have such a mentality, but even many Celtics fans have come to Los Angeles from Boston. This is going to be the last game of the Celtics' revenge this season. up.

So, at 2 o'clock in the evening on February 20th, at Staples, there were a lot of away fans, at least more than 10 people, um, just like those Lakers fans who went to Boston for the Christmas game.

About the same amount on both sides.

The Lakers fans who went to Boston in the Christmas game are considered to be the happiest group of Lakers fans this season.

And in this game, the Celtics fans who went to Los Angeles also want to be the happiest group of Celtics fans.

Because before the start of the game, the Celtics' advantage was too great, so the Celtics' expedition fans were not polite when they came up.

Although the number of Celtics fans on the scene was not that many, they were quite outgoing, and the momentum created in Staples was quite huge.

That's a lot more extroverted than the Lakers fans who went to Boston for the Christmas game.

If it weren't for the Lakers having a very morale-boosting regular program at home, maybe the Boston fans would have controlled the atmosphere of Staples as soon as it came up.

And this regular program that brought huge morale to Staples is of course Seth Curry's mid-circle test training before the game.

In the mid-circle test shooting training before the game, Seth Curry's efficiency was very good.

Swipe in!
The Lakers fans watching the scene screamed again and again.

Even many Celtics fans at the scene were overwhelmed by Seth Curry's powerful three-point shots.

Not to mention the fans at the scene, Stephen Curry in front of the TV is now dancing around in front of the TV.

"Seth's three-pointer contest is too uncomfortable, it's going to explode tonight!!!"

Stephen Curry is looking forward to his brother's performance tonight.

But the other Warriors players and Cole next to him had strange smiles on their faces.

"Seth Curry and Stephen should be brothers, right?"

"100% brother!"

"The characteristics of brothers should be similar, right?"

"I don't know, you will know after watching this game!"

Seth Curry's [-]-point shot felt great, never been better.

This kind of high hit rate really doesn't happen all the time.

In fact, most of Seth Curry's three-point shooting performances have average hit rates, rarely bang bang bang bang dang crazy iron, and rarely make frantic advances.

As long as you can guarantee that you can hit a few shots every time you perform in the middle circle, you will be fine.

Things like tonight are really scary!
At the very least, the Celtics players were a little intimidated.

James, who had been looking at Wade, opened his mouth wide and stared at Seth Curry in the middle circle, on the sidelines, and even in the stands. He kept hitting shots.

Even the thousands of Celtics fans who were about to occupy Staples just now have all their attention taken away by Seth Curry's performance, and they have even joined the Lakers fans at the scene, Crazy screams, crazy cheers.

"Kuritian!"

"Kuritian!"

"Kuritian!"

……

A group of Celtics fans followed a group of Lakers fans and shouted Ku Ritian, can you believe this?
However, this miraculous thing really happened now!
There was an expectant smile on Du Kang's face.

"Perhaps, this is the last happiness and smile that the Lakers brought to Los Angeles fans in this game. After the game started, they were happy and happy, and the opportunities were indifferent."

In the commentary seat, as soon as O'Neill finished speaking, Kenny Smith next to him was almost choked by O'Neill and could not speak.

Shaq, after all, this is the home court of the Lakers!
Can you be a little more polite?

"Kenny, am I wrong?"

"That's right, hahahaha, that's right."

Kenny Smith laughed, what could be wrong with this?
The Lakers were able to win the Christmas game because of some unconventional means.

The Christmas game, in fact, for the Lakers, is an impossible game to win.

In the Christmas game, in the end, the Lakers won.

So in this game, what else can the Lakers use to win?

"In this game, the only point where the Lakers can win is Seth Curry. Seth Curry made these magical shots crazily in this game. Otherwise, the Lakers have no chance."

"Shaq, you don't like Wade?"

"Coach D is not optimistic about Wade either!"

amount……

The game started, and the starters of the two teams appeared on the court.

Then, the fans at the scene and the audience in front of the TV were surprised to find out.

Wade, he didn't even start!
The starters for the Celtics, thick eyebrows, Randolph, James, Gay, Paul.

The starters for the Lakers are Garnett, Barkley, Ebanks, Antetokounmpo and Seth Curry!
Seeing the starting of the Lakers, the audience in the commentary booth almost exploded.

Even O'Neill was stunned.

"In the NBA, I have seen a lot of big and small players, but such a small and big four are rare!!!"

After O'Neill finished speaking, Kenny Smith next to him laughed.

"It's rare, but it's not impossible. Coach D and Magic Monty played against each other for the first time in their careers. In that classic tactical system matchup, Coach D even used the top five. At that time, the youngest on the Lakers team was Iraq. Banks, Coach D defended Eric Gordon of the Pelicans with Ebanks running all over the field. That game was Ebanks' first call. At that time, he couldn't defend, he couldn't Can attack, can only run, and now, Ebanks is an All-Star player!"

Many Lakers fans at the scene exclaimed after seeing Du Kang come up with this starter in this game.

And even Celtics head coach Magic Monty was taken aback for a moment.

"Monty, a game that is impossible to win, is indeed suitable for practicing tactical play."

Listening to the sarcasm of the assistant next to him, the magical Monty had a puzzled expression on his face.

Is it really just a challenge to give up victory?

Coach D, is a person who will give up the victory of the game?

Wonderful Monty shook his head.

Do not!
impossible!
but!

"Don't be affected by Coach D's strange array!"

"Coach D hits Coach D, we hit ours!"

Hearing the yell of Magic Monty, the Celtics players on the court nodded.

No problem, although I don't know what Coach D is doing, but as long as the Celtics play their own basketball, no matter what the Lakers do, it will be useless.

even……

"Put Wade on the bench?"

"Coach D, did you forget to take your other baby down?"

James looked at Seth Curry, his eyes were burning with raging fire!
Directly KO'd the MVP competitor, is there anything more exciting than this?

The starter did Seth Curry!

The substitute did Dwyane Wade again!
In this game, I am a god!

At the beginning of the game, the thick eyebrows successfully jumped the ball for the Celtics, and the Celtics attacked in the first wave.

James called out to beat Seth Curry.

"A small four, coach D is the focus of defense, but if Seth Curry is not taken down, there will always be loopholes in defense. If you really want a small four, will it be better to keep McAway on the court? good?"

Many commentators at the scene were puzzled, and many experts in front of the TV were puzzled.

On the court, James has already galloped down!

After Seth Curry was named, he didn't even defend, and gave up directly!
For other outside superstars, they have already stopped and shot jumpers.

But James...

Well, James looked at the group of tall people waiting for him, and finally chose a jumper with an emergency stop. James flew in the air with his legs open, his posture was not very beautiful, a bit crabby, but!
A swipe!
hit!

2 is better than 0!

"Now who's to say LeBron James won't pull up for a jumper!"

As soon as James came up, he hit an emergency stop jumper, which made the Celtics fans on the scene jump up excitedly. At the same time, it also made the Lakers fans on the scene stunned, and there was no sound for a while.

It's the Lakers' turn to attack. The Lakers' lineup is too big. Any fool knows how to defend the Lakers' lineup.

If Seth Curry is strangled, the Lakers' lineup will have no offensive flexibility.

On the first attack, Seth Curry tried to use the double screens of Garnett and Barkley, but failed to cover, but was intercepted by the astute Paul.

Facing the Celtics, the ball was dropped!

This is a big problem!
None of the Lakers players reacted, and James rushed out.

Clang!
The counter dunk was successful!

4 is better than 0!

Immediately afterwards, the Lakers continued to attack. This time, the Lakers cooperated, but Seth Curry's long-range three-pointer was hit.

then……

Another counterattack!
Another bang!
6 is better than 0!

Immediately afterwards, Antetokounmpo dribbled the ball for halftime, and James pressed the whole court. Antetokounmpo avoided James' pressure with the help of his teammates, but was killed by Chris Paul from the side and intercepted the ball. .

The Lakers, without an orthodox point guard, made another mistake!
Another bang!
8 is better than 0!

"Fuck!!!"

"Coach D, what is this?!"

O'Neill in the commentary was dumbfounded!
It's not just O'Neill who was on the commentary bench.

Even the on-site commentary, the audience in front of the TV, the Celtics players and coaches on the sidelines were all dumbfounded.

Even the referee of this game was dumbfounded!

This time of our fucking, we absolutely did not mess around, you all testify yourself, this is Coach D messing around! ! !

They did come with a mission for this game, but before they really started bragging, Coach D himself committed suicide! !
0 is better than 8!

0 is better than 10!

0 is better than 12!

0 is better than 14!

……

The Lakers' fancy turnovers continued.

"Did Coach D call a timeout? Should Coach D call a timeout?"

"Coach D hasn't called a timeout yet!!!"

"Oh my god, it's already 0-20!!!"

"Coach D actually laughed!!!"

"My God, Coach D actually laughed!!!"

"Could it be?!!"

O'Neal looked at that smile, widened his eyes and stood up straight away!
And the magical Monty on the sidelines, James on the court, the Celtics fans, Lakers fans, the audience in front of the TV, experts, everyone looked at that smile, all staring dumbfounded!

Is it?

No way!
"Oh my God!!! Coach D took the initiative to concede 20 points!!!"

After O'Neill shouted excitedly, almost the whole world exploded! ! !
