Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 300
This game between the Lakers and the Spurs at home is too high.

Duncan's three-hit against the Lakers in the opening game definitely seemed to have fed most of the audience who were paying attention to the game.

Most of the audience who paid attention to this game actually expected the Lakers to achieve the historical achievement of 73 wins.

Regardless of how miserable the Lakers will be in the playoffs, the record of 73 wins in the regular season will indeed make the audience in the United States who like to watch the excitement feel like they have witnessed history.

But when the Spurs came up, they directly stepped on the Lakers into the quagmire. By the way, Popovich stepped on it very disgustingly.

Popovich yelled at the Spurs players on the court, this team is too bad, it is absolutely heartbreaking.

Therefore, after Popovich killed his heart, everyone is watching whether the head coach of the Lakers, Coach D, will say something.

The Lakers' starting lineup for this game is the regular five small lineup, Ebanks, Antetokounmpo, Pierce, McAway, Seth Curry.

The Spurs' starting lineup for this game is Duncan, Leonard, Stephenson, Danny Green, and Dellavedova.

The starting lineup of the Spurs is exactly the same as the starting lineup when the two teams met last time.

The last time the two teams met, Dellavedova was the key to victory, making 20 of 2 three-pointers defended by Seth Curry. Since that game, Seth Curry has been struggling, and the entire NBA seems to have Everyone has seen the correct way to defend Seth Curry.

Don't be afraid of fouls, fight with your body crazily. Seth Curry's confrontation ability is not strong, and his body is not strong enough. After the confrontation, Seth Curry's offensive state will be greatly affected.

Since that game, Seth Curry has fallen from the sky to the ground.

It stands to reason that the last time the two teams met, Seth Curry had already shown such a bad level, and Seth Curry should not continue to start this game.

Kanan, who has been performing very well recently, seems to be a possible choice. Although Kanan's offensive threat ability is not that strong, his confrontation ability is good at least. At least he will not be embarrassed undercover at every turn.

So, at this time, many people think this way.

Even Budenholzer, the assistant coach of the Spurs, wondered if Coach D was in a daze.

"Mike, do you also think Coach D shouldn't play Seth Curry?"

After Popovich returned from the sidelines complacently, he looked at Budenholzer with a smile and asked.

"Is not it?"

"Coach D has no choice. This season, Coach D has not established any other system in the Lakers except Wuxiao and Falk Basketball. He has no choice. No matter how unstable Seth Curry is, he is also the most threatening player for the Lakers. Players, with Seth Curry on the court, Ebanks, Antetokounmpo, and McAway, they have enough offensive threats.

These people have enough offensive threats to lay a certain foundation for Wade. Otherwise, no matter how strong Wade is alone, it is impossible for Wade to score 50 points per game.

Regardless of the fact that the Lakers haven't scored a point now, the Lakers will score soon, and soon, the Lakers will catch up with some points. Of course, there is still no way to turn the score back. "

"..."

After Popovich finished speaking, Budenholzer was speechless.

It was speechless in shock.

Is the circle of famous coaches in the NBA already so introverted now?

Everyone has opened their "future eyes" now, do they need to accurately predict the trend of the game?
Budenholzer suddenly discovered that his graduation day may be postponed again.

And almost at the same time, on the court, the Lakers, who had not scored since the start of the game, scored.

In order to defend Seth Curry, the Spurs asked Delavido to follow and stick to the whole court, and the Spurs' defensive space was greatly expanded.

The average team simply cannot afford such a defensive approach.

But the Spurs can.

The remaining four on the Spurs are Duncan, Leonard, Finson and Danny Green.

Finson had an unsatisfactory life with the Bobcats. After the Spurs traded Parker for him, Finson's performance with the Spurs could be described as a duck to water.

Finsen is a very team-oriented player. He likes teams managed militaristically. He needs his teammates around him to have enough tactical qualities to match his performance. But in Bobcats, his teammates are too loose, and the team is too loose. It is not the environment in which he lives.

Well now, in the Spurs, this is the environment he wants.

So after coming to the Spurs, Finson immediately showed the temperament and attitude that he had when he was with the Pacers, and he cooperated well with Leonard, Danny Green, and Duncan.

The front line of Duncan, Finson, Leonard and Danny Green has become an insurmountable line of defense for opponents in defense.

These four, on the court, sometimes, can even defend the opponent's five!

Therefore, Finson laughed when he saw Seth Curry deliberately open up space on the court and move Dellavedova away.

Four against four is indeed more beneficial to the offensive end.

On the court, the fewer the number of offensive and defensive players, the more beneficial it is to the offense. Three-on-three, two-on-two, one-on-one, the more beneficial to the offense.

Therefore, in order to limit the attack in American singles, there is a rule of three dribbles. If the rules of a formal game are used, one versus one, two people with similar strength cannot defend at all.

Seth Curry's choice is very witty and very team. He was made uncomfortable by Dellavedova, so he contributed to his teammates.

This is an idea.

But you don't look at who the four people you are going to fight are!
Seeing the Lakers' offensive players like McAway, Pierce, Antetokounmpo and Ebanks trying to beat the Spurs' four strongest defensive fronts, not only Finson laughed, but also James in front of the TV All laughed.

What is despair?

This is despair!

"It's a pity that the Lakers will be defeated by the Spurs in the first round of the playoffs. It's great to be the overall runner-up with 72 wins!"

Thinking about James makes me excited, but unfortunately, in the end, the Lakers' great regular season record was harvested by the Spurs.

The Lakers failed to score in the first three offenses. This is the fourth offense. In addition, Seth Curry's main offense was seen so deadly. The Lakers players hesitated on the court.

Seeing the Lakers' offensive hesitation, Nash, Aunt Jenny and other Lakers assistant coaches on the sidelines sighed directly.

The pressure on the Lakers players in this game is indeed great.

At the same time, the Spurs' defense is indeed strong.

The Lakers' offense is very difficult to beat!

Pierce, Barkley and Garnett had little to contribute.

Ebanks and Antetokounmpo McAway's offense has been inconsistent.

Seth Curry is now stuck in a superstar wall.

The Lakers only have one Wade.

"Coach, go to Dwyane now!"

After Nash finished speaking, Du Kang shook his head directly.

"no need."

After Du Kang finished speaking, he walked to the sidelines.

"Mike, pick and roll Stephenson!"

Du Kang’s shouting to McAway did not avoid anyone at all.

Everyone heard it, including Finsen on the pitch.

What the hell!

Fensen, who heard Du Kang's call, thought he heard it wrong.

Do you think of yourself as Seth Curry or Stephen Curry?

In all his years in the NBA, no one has ever dared to hit him in the pick-and-roll!

Even if you hit Leonard, Danny Green, or Duncan in the pick-and-roll, you shouldn't hit yourself!

Fensen is so confident, he is the man who has whispered in James' ears!

It’s just McAway!

As a former Pacers player, Finsen has the highest respect for Coach D.

But, Coach D, you underestimate me too much!
"Boy, you don't need to pick and roll, I'll come here by myself, you hit me!"

Facing Coach D's call, Finsen showed considerable courage and confidence.

This kind of confidence is also extremely contagious, and the Lakers fans at the scene were exclaimed for a while.

In the NBA, Finsen definitely belongs to that rare acting personality.

Strength is one aspect, self-confidence is another aspect, like to express yourself, like to pretend to be beeping is also another aspect.

This beep is very good.

If this defense can block McAway, then Finsen can definitely cause a lot of fans and spectators in the NBA to scream.

However, when Finsen ran up to McAway, Finsen didn't notice Duncan frowning on the court.

Finsen was still happy that he had installed a successful beep.

Duncan, on the other hand, has already felt the breath of danger.

Because Finsen has been in the East, he doesn't have many opportunities to play against players like the Lakers.

But as the head player of the Spurs, Duncan is too familiar with these Lakers players.

Finson underestimated McAway's breakthrough ability!
The defense line was in chaos for a moment. As long as McAway broke through, the defense would be useless. The defense line of four people was not friendly to defense. If Finson did this, it would be over!

Sure enough, Finsen, who was enjoying himself, thought that McAway would open his stance to fight him like James, and he could defend against James' breakthrough, let alone a mere McAway's breakthrough.

However, McAway did not stand apart from Finsen at all.

Finsen came over, and just after finishing the beep, McAway burned his knees directly, and rushed in close to the ground!
This is a very nice ground-breaking breakout!

Wade, Parker, call the experts!

This kind of breakthrough on the ground requires extremely high defensive actions of the defensive players. If there is no sufficient preparation, even defensive actions cannot be performed.

Just like the current Finsen, he was dumbfounded.

After McAway broke through Finsen, he went directly to Duncan without any hesitation.

Logically speaking, at this time, the Spurs would have a defensive force to cooperate with the chasing defensive players and directly attack. McAway had no chance to challenge Duncan.

But now, because Finsen took the initiative to stand up and pretend to be beeping regardless of the team's overall defense, the Spurs opened their doors wide.

Let Duncan be directly exposed in front of McAway.

Seeing McAway coming over, what can Duncan do?

This kid is a famous fierce man in the NBA!

This is a rookie who dared to directly confront James in his first game, and made a quadruple double on James' head!

This kid's style of play in the NBA is notoriously fierce, and his style of play is extremely knee-jerk!

This time is no exception!
Duncan felt that there was no problem with his defensive prediction. McAway, who was flying in the air, almost had no room to attack. It was an offensive foul to hit him!
but!

In the air, McAway twisted his body and smashed the basketball in his hand!

My goodness!

Seeing McAway's offensive choices, even Duncan was shocked!
You are so twisted, do you really not want your own body?

Knowing you are so twisted, how will you land?
How could McAway not know!
However, such a good opportunity, he can't miss it!

After smashing the basketball in his hand, McAway in the air, after avoiding Duncan, flew out on his stomach!

A swipe!
Then, another bang!
McAway scored two points!
2 is better than 6!

The Lakers finally scored!

At the same time, McAway landed on his knees and fell heavily on the floor!

Seeing this scene, the Lakers fans at the scene were even silent for a moment.

Seeing this scene, Fensen, who was following from behind, was dumbfounded.

This style of play is too brave, right? !

Under the shocked eyes of Finsen and the Lakers fans on the scene, McAway, who fell very heavily on the ground, propped up his body and stood up directly, without even asking his teammates to pull him.

then……

Boom boom boom!
McAway stomped his feet on the floor, with a cold face, turned around and prepared to return to defense.

"..."

Finsen's expression was like this.

And the whole scene, after a moment of silence, went crazy!

Now that the game has been played, the Lakers fans on the scene finally got a chance to vent their emotions.

As he walked past Fenson, McAway stopped.

"No one can jump out of Coach D's judgment. Jordan can't, James can't, you, and you can't. If Coach D says I can hit you, I can definitely hit you!"

After speaking, McAway continued to walk forward.

Looking at McAway's back, Finsen was taken aback.

Are these the Lakers?

Finson feels like he has a new understanding of the Lakers.

And at this time, on the sidelines.

"Mike, see, Coach D, there is no need for substitutions at all."

"..."

Budenholzer looked at the smile on Popovich's face. For a moment, he was just shocked.

Seth Curry really didn't score anymore.

However, his offensive impact is too great.

At the same time, Coach D's micromanagement on the sidelines is too precise!
"Giannis, don't hit Leonard, pick and roll Finsen!"

"Devin, pull out and shoot over Finson's head. He is only 1 meters tall!"

"Mike, keep on Tufinsen!"

On the court, Finsen felt numb!
Not only Finson, but the Pacers fans in front of the TV were stunned.

Their lovely Finsen was actually being beaten by Coach D as a defensive weakness!
Shock!

The whole world was shocked!

The whole world was shocked by Coach D!
However, Popovich on the sidelines was laughing.

because!

"This is a struggle. You can only play Finsen. This is a desperate struggle. I like to see Coach D struggling like this!"

When you can only play players like Kobe and Jordan against defensive weaknesses, this is actually very hopeless.

So, Popovich was laughing.

"Coach D, don't struggle anymore, put your Wade on!"

The first quarter lasted 6 and a half minutes.

At this time, the score on the court was 20 to 12, and the Lakers trailed by 8 points.

The Lakers made a substitution.

"Wade came up a little early tonight!"

"But it's normal. In this game, the Lakers are more dangerous."

After O'Neill finished speaking, he looked at the players on the field and was dumbfounded.

"Garnett!!!!"

It's not Wade, it's Garnett! ! !
O'Neill was dumbfounded!

The Lakers fans at the scene even started making noise!
And on the pitch.

Duncan on the court was also dumbfounded.

"KG!"

Dumbfounded, Duncan came back to his senses with an excited look on his face.

It's just that Popovich on the sidelines, the expression on his face is not so calm at this time.

Popovich has been predicting this game.

Always accurate.

And this time...

"Bobo miscalculated!"

but……

Go to Garnett at this time, Coach D, are you playing for real, or just for fun?

Now KG is not qualified to play with Tim!
