Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 309 The world is in an uproar!
"Oh my God! Coach D did all this just to give Garnett a stage that belongs to him?!"

"Coach D is not trying to defeat Popovich defensively. Coach D is trying to bring back the strongest Duncan and let the strongest Duncan be Garnett's opponent! So that Garnett can once again win Stand up! OMG! Incredible game, incredible Coach D!"

"Those who just said that Coach D is James in the coaching world should kneel down and apologize now. Can LeBron James do such a thing for his teammates and coaches?!"

"Coach D stood up again for Garnett, even without his own reputation. If this series is beaten by Popovich and crazily humiliated by Popovich, then this series will become a great coaching career of Coach D. The biggest failure, the biggest shame!”

"No one is more suitable to be Garnett's opponent than the strongest Duncan. Only by standing up against the strongest Duncan can Garnett truly stand up, truly wash away the bad reputation he has now, and be able to regain his reputation. Become the Wolf King who is Duncan's enemy once again! Garnett may only have this one chance in his career! Coach D chose to sacrifice his reputation for the last chance of Garnett's career!"

"Coach D is indeed recognized by all NBA players as the best head coach and the head coach they are most willing to play for. In this world, only Coach D dares to do such a thing!"

After Du Kang yelled at Garnett, the whole world was in an uproar.

At this time, no one is ridiculing Coach D as a hypocrite, a person no different from James.

At this time, everyone was shocked by Du Kang's choice.

Sacrifice your reputation for Garnett!

Coach D has chosen to sacrifice his reputation for many of his own players.

It seems to look the same.

But it's actually different.

When Coach D first debuted, he didn't have that much reputation.

Now, Coach D is recognized by the league as the strongest head coach in history.

The burden on my body is much heavier than before, and my reputation is much stronger than before.

More importantly, the opponent in this series is Popovich, one of the main rivals with Coach D to be the strongest head coach in history.

If he is really humiliated by Popovich in this series, there is no way to wash it away, and it will even make Coach D's reputation as the strongest in history unworthy of his reputation.

Judging from the first few minutes of this game, Coach D was beaten by Popovich on both offense and defense for Garnett.

If this series really ends in this situation, then this series will become the dark history of Coach D. In the future, Coach D’s fans will not even be able to raise their heads in front of Popovich and Spurs fans.

The truth is this truth.

It’s impossible for Coach D not to know things that they, the audience, know!

Coach D clearly knew this, but he still chose to do this, treating this series as a series of Garnett's Nirvana!

This is Coach D!

"This is our coach!"

"This is our most respected Coach D!"

At this time, Kobe, Maizi, Dayao, Roy, Ye, Carter, and Iverson all stood up on the sidelines.

then!

Under the incredible gazes of the entire Lakers audience, these Lakers legends suddenly shouted into the court again!

"KG! Did you hear that! Now, do you really just want to be an audience member of Duncan!"

Seeing the shouts of Kobe, Mai Zi, Iverson and Carter on the big screen, the Lakers fans who were already stunned at the scene were even more stunned at this time.

After Coach D’s words, the whole world was in uproar and shock, and among them, as the audience at the scene, Lakers fans were definitely the most shocked and uproar.

Therefore, they didn't even make any sound just now.

To put it simply, Coach D's operation in this game really made their CPU, GPU, and PUA all go up in smoke.

This game is so damn brain-burning.

So many twists and turns, so many twists and turns, it really made their heads smoke!

It wasn't until Kobe and the others yelled that the Lakers fans at the scene came back to their senses.

Because after Kobe and the others shouted, they all waved their hands upwards. This clearly meant that they hoped that the Lakers fans at the scene could cheer for Garnett on the court.

Then, for a time, all the Lakers fans in the audience were led by Kobe and the others.

The whole place was shouting!

"Coach D!"

"KG!"

"Coach D!"

"KG!"

The extremely rhythmic shouting sounded like it was about to overturn the arena and resounded throughout Los Angeles!
"Those players who are so trusted by Coach D have never let Coach D down. KG, don't let Coach D down!"

The Lakers Dj at the scene was shouting excitedly.

Garnett on the court looked at Du Kang on the sidelines in shock.

He really didn't expect that the coach had such good intentions!

Bring back the strongest Duncan, just for him!

Not to mention Garnett, even Duncan was looking at Du Kang in shock.

Duncan always thought that Coach D brought him back to convince Bobo to lose.

Unexpectedly, it was actually for Garnett!

Bobo was not taken seriously by Coach D at all!

Thinking of this, Duncan immediately looked over to Popovich.

Sure enough, the look on Bobo's face was very ugly!
Bobo, he was ignored by Coach D!
It turns out that all this is Bobo’s own fault!

Coach D has no intention of defeating Bobo defensively!
In Coach D's mind, Bobo's status is even lower than Garnett!

"Coach D! Coach D!!! Coach D!!!"

Gritting his teeth, Popovich couldn't stand being ignored by Coach D anymore!

I waited for a long time, but it turned out that it was a battle of wits and courage in the air, and Coach D didn't care about him at all!

"Tim, fuck him!!!"

The look on Duncan's face showed no sign of receiving Popovich's instructions on the court.

As if not heard the same.

In fact, Duncan heard it.

In fact, there is no need for Popovich to say that Duncan also wants to be the next Garnett.

Garnett is strong!
It should be said that Garnett used to be very strong!

Garnett is the strongest opponent he has ever faced since entering the league, and one of them can be removed.

In the years 2001-2004, it was not that difficult for him to beat O'Neal.

In fact, in those years, Garnett had an easier time beating O'Neal than Duncan.

In those years, Garnett and O'Neal met twice in the playoffs. Although Garnett's team lost to the OK Lakers 2-4 both times, Garnett's personal performance was unquestionable.

Garnett is the superstar who performed best against the OK Lakers besides Duncan.

一次场均27分15.7篮板5.2助攻1.7抢断1.7盖帽。

一次场均23.7分13.5篮板4.5助攻1.2抢断1.2盖帽。

Nowadays, many people say that Garnett is James with a big trumpet, and they are just blowing it.

but……

As far as Garnett's performance against the OK Lakers in those years, James would not have been able to play in his lifetime without wearing a magical costume.

In those years, O'Neal was a super center who could really defend against the basket and averaged 3 blocks per game.

Facing O'Neal like this, how can Garnett play such a superb performance?
It's very simple. When Garnett faced the Lakers in the playoffs that year, he averaged 18.8 mid-range shots per game and averaged 9.4 hits per game. Among them, he averaged 6.8 long-range two-pointers with one step inside the three-point line. 3.5 hits, a hit rate of over 50%!

With so many mid-range shots, he can still have such a high hit rate.

In the history of the NBA, only Garnett has done so, and neither Driver has done so.

Averaged 27 points per game, no free throws, no free throws. Only 27 points in 2 minutes were free throws, all relying on mid-range shots, which almost killed the Lakers.

At that time, Garnett was so versatile on defense, amazing on offense, and so athletic.

At that time, just as the outside media promoted, Garnett was his lifelong enemy, and he would be entangled with Garnett for the rest of his life.

He and Garnett are indistinguishable.

only……

The story that followed became completely different from what I imagined.

Garnett was obsessed.

Indulging in the illusion of his own invincible shooting, as an inside player, there are fewer and fewer inside offenses. By the year he left the Timberwolves, Garnett's inside offense accounted for less than 20%!

When it came to the Celtics, it was even less than 20% for many years.

This is too little, not to mention that he often accounts for 40% of the basket attacks, this year it even reached 50%.Even Dirk only completed his transformation at the basket after being educated in 07.

Garnett has been immersed in his peak years and has not woken up.

He had no intention of waking up, it was so beautiful.

Nor did Dirk have the opportunity to wake him up.

As an inside player, he only averages 2, 3, or 4 free throws per game in a season. What does this count?
KG averaged only 4 free throws per game in the playoffs.

And it was 7 times for myself.

Dirk's data has been exceeded 8 times.

KG obviously has a shooting ability close to Dirk's. KG's shooting is better than his own, and he obviously has a better potential to draw fouls.

But... KG's offense is really becoming more and more difficult to describe.

So, this always made him very regretful.

The two biggest rivals of the year.

He had seen what the strongest Dirk looked like.

But I have never seen what the strongest KG looks like.

KG is wasting his talent on offense.

KG has injuries, he has them, and Dirk has them too, but he and Dirk have never given up attacking the basket, while KG seems to have given up completely.

Change!

This is the change Coach D wants!
So, what will KG change?
A cross between Tim Duncan and Dirk Nowitzki?

Between me and Dirk, is KG?
Is this the KG Coach D wants to see?
Looking forward to it!

Duncan looked at Garnett expectantly.

Facing Duncan's gaze, Garnett's face was a little surprised.

At the same time, Garnett's hands shook tightly.

Garnett looked at the score on the sidelines at this time.

Very miserable, the Lakers' score at this time is very miserable.

0:10.

The Lakers, who now have no offensive strength, simply cannot break the Spurs' defense.

Now, the Lakers need an offensive powerhouse that can break down the Spurs' defense.

Now, the coach wants to change himself!
Listen to the cheers of the Lakers fans at the scene.

Look at Kobe and the others shouting and cheering on the sidelines.

Garnett took a deep breath.

"Now, am I still in time?"

Garnett was a little confused, thinking secretly in his heart.

And at this moment...

"Since Coach D said you were in time, it must be in time."

Tim...Duncan...

Seeing the silly smile on Duncan's face, Garnett was stunned again.

"When I broke my leg before, I didn't know if I could stand up, but now you see, I stood up, and I have been standing up well. If a person wants to get out of his comfort zone, the first step is the most important. "

After Duncan finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving a stunned Garnett.

Du Kang on the sidelines watched this scene with a smile on his face.

In front of the TV, McHale clenched his fists tightly.

"KG, your first step may be awkward and embarrassing, but you can do it. You have such ability and potential. Don't forget that your teacher is me, McHale!"

He once wished that he could teach Garnett the way Nelson taught Nowitzki.

However, he never had such a chance.

Now, Coach D is doing something he didn't do!
McHale came out of his flashback, and the game resumed on television.

The Lakers now desperately need Garnett's offense.

Coach D has set off the atmosphere to such an extent.

Garnett naturally became the Lakers' main attacker.

Garnett's first attack was to hit Duncan inside.

It can be seen that Garnett wants to work hard, but...

Slightly clumsy.

Garnett's steps are no longer so skillful, and it's hard to even imagine that he is McHale's disciple.

Forced by Duncan, Garnett almost subconsciously gambled on a big jump shot.

However, in the end, Garnett resisted his habit of gambling.

He is no longer the Garnett of 10 years ago. The Garnett of the past could bet on success, but the Garnett of the past ten years has never succeeded.

He should be waking up from the dream he had ten years ago.

Garnett took a deep breath, turned left, turned right, and then suddenly made a reverse breakthrough to the left to bypass Duncan and dunk head-on.

But in the end, Garnett failed to complete the turn and was directly intercepted by Duncan.

Saw Garnett get stolen.

The Lakers fans, who had already heightened the atmosphere at the scene, turned off the lights in an instant, which was a bit embarrassing.

Even Kezi and Maizi, who were waving their hands for Garnett, were a little embarrassed at this time.

This………

It's a bit miserable...

On the court, Garnett also felt that he was a little embarrassed and miserable this time.

but……

Duncan in front of him was smiling, and it was an encouraging smile!

And Coach D on the sidelines!

He was also laughing, and at the same time, in the silent world, he was applauding!

"KG, you see, Coach D also thinks that you can get back those things you lost. Even if you didn't have it, you can easily get it with your conditions and talent."

"It's just that you never thought of picking up ordinary items that were not so gorgeous and beautiful."

The smile on Duncan's face was a little shy.

Rolling around in the mud is not pretty.

But... who told you not to fly?

The flying devil once...

Looking at Duncan's back, he looked at the smile and applause of the coach on the sidelines.

Garnett gritted his teeth.

adhere to!

2 hours later.

G1 between the Lakers and Spurs ends.

The Lakers lost to the Spurs 60-75 at home.

"Coach D, have you seen it? There are no such miracles in this world!"

"Kevin Garnett, who you had such high hopes for, is now, so ugly!"

"Let us congratulate Popovich, congratulate Duncan, and congratulate the Spurs. You are about to defeat a 73-win team. You are about to create an incredible history!"

"Cry, Coach D, for yourself, for your record, for your team, cry!"

Did Coach D cry?
Coach D didn’t cry!
In the silence of all Lakers fans.

Coach D!

Applauding for Garnett, who bowed his head and came down from the court!
Coach D is still smiling and applauding Garnett!

"My goodness!"

The world is in an uproar!
