Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 310 Popovich was mad!
In the much-anticipated Lakers-Spurs battle, the Lakers lost to the Spurs by more than 10 points at home. In a defensive battle initiated by Coach D, the Lakers suffered a disastrous defeat in the absence of Wade and Seth Curry!
In this game, Coach D, who is the strongest coach in NBA history, was blown away by Popovich on both offense and defense.

The defense can't match Popovich's watertightness, and the offense can't get through the Spurs' defense without Wade and Seth Curry.

Although the whole world now knows that in this series, Coach D prepared the stage for Garnett, hoping that Garnett could stand up and slap the media and fans who criticized him.

Speaking of this, Lakers fans are even more desperate and speechless.

Even if it was the same disastrous defeat, they were more willing to accept that Coach D was selfish in challenging Popovich's defense for his own sake, and ended up losing miserably.

It was really hard for them to accept the reason for Garnett to stand up.

Can Garnett still stand up?

joke!

When Garnett was young and at his peak, he had no intention of standing up. Do you expect him to retire and start over again when he is already in his [-]s and [-]s?
This is really crazy!

Even Lakers fans think Coach D's choice is crazy, let alone others.

Now the entire NBA world, the entire basketball world, as long as they are not Chinese fans, Lakers fans, and Timberwolves fans, are all watching the excitement and laughing.

This is really no joke at all.

Even many Chinese fans in Apu were making fun of Du Kang at this time.

They really can't understand that Du Kang would do such a thing for Garnett.

Is Garnett really that important to the Lakers?

Do we need our coach Xiao Du to do this?
It's hard to say whether Garnett will be with the Lakers next season. Is it necessary to do such a thing for Garnett?
We can't win this series anyway, so it's better to train the young players of the Lakers in this series. At least they can still be used next season.

Although this series is a must-lose series, there is really no need to do such a thing for Garnett and directly seal Wade and Seth Curry. This is too incomprehensible.

"That's Coach Xiao Du. If it were any other head coach in the NBA, the fans would have been crazy about it!"

This is what Yang Huahua from the Penguin live broadcast room said at the end of the game. This is very serious and direct, and everyone can understand it.

Usually when Yang Huahua is in a bad mood, the netizens in the live broadcast room and Kefan next to her will definitely have something to say.

But this time, no one spoke.

Because there really is nothing to say.

Because what Yang Huahua said this time was really right. If it were any other head coach, I'm afraid he would have paraded it on the streets long ago.

How can there be such a game!

How could you do such a thing for a veteran who is about to retire!

"Our coach Xiao Du doesn't really think that the Lakers can win this series, right? Even if Garnett really withstands Duncan, the Lakers can't win!"

"Teacher Yang, do you think Coach Xiao Du trained and reused Garnett in this way in order to win this series?"

"This is the only possibility. Excluding other possibilities, this is the only possibility. The other possibility is our coach Xiao Du. He is crazy and stupid. Do you think our coach Xiao Du will really be like the American commentator and media? As you said, are you stupid or crazy?"

"Of course not! But... Teacher Yang, do you really have no chance at all?"

"There's no chance at all. You wouldn't think that the only difference between the Lakers and the Spurs is Garnett and Duncan, right?
Give up hope, all that is left is endless ridicule and ridicule. I hope our coach Xiao Du can withstand such dark waters. "

What Yang Huahua said when she participated in the Penguin Basketball Channel program after the commentary was greatly reversed by Ahpu.

It is a consensus that Coach D changed Garnett's behavior in this series. No one, whether it is Chinese fans or American fans, Chinese experts or American experts, has thought of this possibility.

Coach D is training Garnett so he can still beat the Spurs?

Is it really?

If you consider that Coach D is not a fool, this statement is really very reasonable.

Without Jokic and Yao Ming, the biggest problem for the Lakers against the Spurs is Duncan.

In the penultimate game between the Lakers and the Spurs in the regular season this season, Duncan's damage to the Lakers' five young players and Frank Basketball was overflowing.

The last time the two teams met, if it weren't for Garnett's explosive touch, Duncan would have continued to torment the Lakers' five players and Farke after the game started.

This is why many people say that there is no solution for the Lakers against the Spurs.

Coach D's Fake Basketball and Five Little Basketball teams are wreaking havoc in the regular season.

To the playoffs.

Facing the Spurs' Duncan, facing the Warriors' Yi, facing the Cavaliers' Oden, facing the Celtics' thick eyebrows, Randolph is simply a giveaway!
So, in ESPN's expert predictions before the playoffs begin.

As a 73-win team, the Lakers have only a 2% chance of advancing against the Spurs in expert voting. Out of 100 experts, only two support the Lakers' advancement.

And one of these two people is Reggie Miller.

"Of course I know the Lakers have no chance, but there's no way I wouldn't vote for Coach D."

Well, Reggie Miller's reason also made fans and other experts laugh after watching it.

No one believes that the Lakers are still in this series.

The Lakers are not a normal 73-win team, they don't have that strength.

The Spurs are not a normal eighth team in the Western Conference. If the Spurs are willing, they can even rank among the top three in the Western Conference.

Therefore, no one actually thought that Du Kang still wanted to win this series, and in order to win this series, he even did something like this.

Because Du Kang often appears in Apu, there are also many American fans and reporters squatting in Apu.

Yang Huahua's remarks detonated Apu, and public opinion in the United States was also detonated.

"Really or not? Coach D hasn't planned to give up on this series yet?"

"In order to get Garnett to stand up, Coach D is not trying to trick Garnett, but he hopes that the Lakers can have a chance to defeat the Spurs in this series?"

"Oh my God! How many times has this series been reversed like this? How many times has this series been reversed from the beginning to now?"

"Compared to Coach D being a fool, I actually accept this statement more. In my understanding, Coach D has never been a person who gives up!"

"How many people still remember that in last season's finals, when the Knicks were 3-0 against the Lakers, ESPN's support for the Lakers was 0! No one believed that the Lakers could win. At that time, only Coach D in the world did not Give up, it’s only 2% now! The opportunity is already huge!”

The day after the Lakers and Spurs game.

Popovich was so excited after winning the game last night that he couldn't sleep. He asked the Spurs staff to buy newspapers. He wanted to see how the American media praised him. He also wanted to see how the American media criticized Coach D. .

After winning such a great game, the best moment is enjoying the afterglow of victory.

And now, it’s time to enjoy the afterglow of victory.

only……

"Mike, what's that look on your face?"

Popovich stretched out his hand for a long time, but Budenholzer just didn't deliver the newspaper.

Finally, Budenholzer sighed, unable to resist Popovich's extremely expectant eyes.

"Bobo, don't be angry after reading this."

Popovich laughed when he heard Budenholzer's words.

Just kidding, I won the game and won so wonderfully, why should I be angry?
Although I have a bad temper, I am not a person who likes to be angry.

What's more, everyone performed so well in last night's game, allowing the Lakers to score 60 points.

Coach D's defensive ability, which could be published in a book, must have been ridiculed to death by the national media, right?
Thinking of this, Popovich showed a smile of anticipation and excitement on his face.

In the past three years, no day has been so happy!
Since Coach D was born, Popovich has felt that his blood pressure is getting higher and higher, and his mood is getting worse and worse.

just soon.

The expression of happiness and expectation on Popovich's face slowly disappeared. Popovich finally knew why Budenholzer told him not to be angry!

"Coach D didn't give up on this series! Coach D didn't give up on this series?!"

"Facing the powerful Spurs and the powerful Popovich, Coach D is still looking forward to hope!"

"Coach D, never give up, Coach D is still struggling!"

……

Looking at these front-page headlines, Popovich's heart was constantly ups and downs.

All the media are shocked that Coach D trained Garnett because he didn't give up on this series!

As long as Coach D hasn't given up, no one can say that they will definitely win, not even the powerful Popovich and the Spurs.

Because Coach D didn't give up, in last year's finals, Phil Jackson, the famous coach who is also the number one competitor in history, failed and was reversed 3-0!

All these media outlets are saying this.

He, Popovich, actually became a supporting role, and it was all passed off. No one said how good his performance in the last game was, and what a slap he was to Coach D.

No one said that Popovich and the Spurs were a strong background.

And the protagonist is still Coach D!

This made Popovich very angry, and what made Popovich even more angry and shocked was...

"Coach D, don't give up!"

You know, when Coach D blocked Wade and Seth Curry and completely gave up offense, he actually felt that Coach D had given up.

This is why he is so arrogant.

Coach D has given up, why can't he be arrogant?
Now, a Chinese NBA commentator said that Coach D inexplicably trained Garnett for the sake of winning this series, which made Popovich frown.

"Coach D who never gave up the game..."

Listening to what Popovich muttered at this time, Budenholzer next to him was silent for a while.

He knew what Popovich had left unsaid.

"Coach D who never gave up on a game...never lost in the playoffs!"

"Coach D who never gave up the game, even if he fell behind 0-3, he never lost!" "Coach D who never gave up the game, God, can win!"

This will indeed put tremendous pressure on the opponent.

Budenholzer could clearly feel how solemn the expression on Bobo's face was now.

After half a sound.

"Mike, do you think I'm a head coach like Phil Jackson?"

"no!"

Budenholzer answered decisively.

No matter how many championships Phil Jackson has, in the minds of academic head coaches like them, they are still not as good as Larry Brown or Popovich.

After hearing what Budenholzer said, Popovich finally smiled on his solemn face.

"So, they're farting."

Popovich threw away all the newspapers in his hand with disdain.

Coach D has not given up on this series yet, and this has quickly become a hot topic for online confrontation between Lakers fans and Spurs fans.

Spurs fans believe Coach D has not given in yet.

But Lakers fans were unwilling to accept it.

The reason is very simple.

A must-lose series, if you are not serious, there is a reason for losing.

But if you take it seriously and still lose, this is a bit of a miserable loss.

Spurs fans certainly hope that Coach D will resist.

But Lakers fans hope that Coach D is not serious, does not resist, and is just playing. If they lose like this, even if they lose miserably, they can find reasons to defend themselves.

"You actually believe the fallacy of a Chinese explanation!"

"Then you must believe that Coach D is a coward who likes to give up the game, hahahaha..."

"..."

Simply incomprehensible.

The fighting spirit of Lakers fans is not that strong to begin with.

With the ridicule and cooperation of so many neutral fans, he was basically beaten by Spurs fans.

This makes Lakers fans extremely uncomfortable. The Lakers played poorly in games. We haven't had enough of being pissed off yet, and now we're getting pissed off on the Internet?

Do you want to do this!

Great Coach D, please stop making trouble like this!
Wouldn't it be better if we just lost this series like this?

Why are you doing so many things?
Fans are debating wildly on the Internet.

Well, mainly to mock the Lakers and Lakers fans like crazy.

The offline reporters were now preparing to hunt the players and coaches on both sides.

Mainly around Popovich and the Spurs.

The Lakers are semi-closed!
Except for a small number of media, reporters, and celebrities who are close to the Lakers and Coach D, no one can enter the Lakers training facility.

No one knows what happened in the Lakers training facility.

There is no way to interview Coach D whether he has given up on this series yet.

However, this did not disappoint the reporters too much.

Because of this series, Popovich is too active.

Popovich obviously regards this series as the most meaningful series of his career.

After all, Black Eight, revenge for the 73-win team led by the first head coach in NBA history to lead the league.

This series can indeed become the masterpiece of any head coach, including Popovich.

Therefore, reporters quickly felt Popovich's enthusiasm. One of Popovich's favorite things to do is to play with reporters. He is unwilling to accept interviews. Even if he is interviewed, he likes to cause trouble and has a very bad attitude. .

But this time, it was really passionate!
"Coach D didn't give up? Bad news? Haha, I know this, and I have known for a long time that Coach D will not give up this series. So, this is not bad news for us, but good news. We We all look forward to Coach D seriously playing this series with us. Coach D hopes that Garnett will face the strongest Tim Duncan, and we also hope to face the strongest Coach D!"

Popovich's answer was quite confident and domineering.

Of course, these reporters in the United States are not some rubberneckers who pretend to be angry at others. It is impossible not to cause trouble.

"Bobo, tell me the truth. You must have been scared for a moment. Coach D has never lost a series when he was serious! You must have panicked at that moment, right?"

What the hell!

Next to him, Budenholzer looked at the Los Angeles reporter who asked the question, with a shocked look on his face.

Sure, I didn’t expect that after three years of Coach D’s arrival, reporters in Los Angeles would be so brave.

Most Lakers fans feel that the Lakers are bound to lose this series, and it would be best for Coach D to just go through the motions and have fun.

But don't forget, the Lakers have won two consecutive championships!

Of course, there are many people, whether fans, reporters, or celebrities. Of course, they hope that Coach D and the Lakers will not give up any opportunities.

But they couldn't say this themselves. After all, the Lakers were really far behind. Saying it did not force Coach D and the Lakers to win. This put too much pressure on the Lakers and Coach D.

But it's different now.

Someone spoke it out for them.

Of course they will look forward to this and serious Coach D!

"Pop, just admit it, you must be scared to wet your pants when Coach D becomes serious! You and Coach D have never been coaches of the same level. Even if the Lakers are one level weaker than the Spurs, Coach D can still be serious. Get up and lead the team to win!”

The brave Los Angeles reporter even made Popovich angry.

Also mad.

He doesn't like people saying that he and Coach D are not coaches of the same level.

Therefore, this reporter from Los Angeles is mean when he speaks harshly, but his words are critical.

If you lose, you don't lose the team, that's what they say.

Next to him, Budenholzer really couldn't hold him back.

"Hehe, hehe, you're right, Coach D and I are one level behind each other. You are so smart, you must know how many levels there are between the Lakers and the Spurs, right?"

After Popovich finished speaking, he smiled mischievously and added.

"You definitely don't think that the Lakers and Spurs are just one level behind, right? Then tell me, how do the Lakers win? You're farting all the time, right?"

After Popovich finished speaking, all the reporters on the scene looked at Popovich and the reporter from Los Angeles who was facing him.

Even Du Kang, who was in front of the TV, was watching leisurely.

"Pop, you're right. The Lakers are more than one level behind the Spurs. But I want to remind you that when I said you and Coach D were different, I didn't say that you were one level behind. As for the specific difference, The level depends on the final result of this series, and, Pop, how many levels do you think the Spurs are higher than the Lakers? Then the question is, Pop, how many levels do you think the Spurs are higher than the Lakers?"

What the hell!

Language trap!

Bobo took advantage of it and was also fooled!

Budenholzer was really anxious next to him.

And Popovich himself was dumbfounded.

Popovich, who was sitting there, was stunned!
Seeing such cute Bobo, Du Kang smiled in front of the TV.

"Coach, reporters in Los Angeles are feeling more and more like you now."

"AI, do I usually feel like this?"

After Du Kang finished speaking curiously, Iverson and others laughed.

"Coach, you have that feeling of making your opponents very irritated and unable to do anything about it."

is it?

Du Kang smiled and said nothing.

"Coach, are you really serious?"

After Kobe finished speaking, everyone else looked at Du Kang.

"what do y'all think?"

After the game, Du Kang didn't care what happened in the previous game, he was in this state.

"It's definitely not recognition..."

"No, I'm serious."

Du Kang added with a smile.

"I do feel that we can still... win!"

"..."

Click!
The red wine glass in Koko's hand fell to the ground.

Everyone looked at Du Kang in amazement, who seemed to be on vacation and preparing to go fishing.
