Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 32 Coach Xiao Du standing in the atmosphere?

"Coach Du, when we heard that you became the head coach of the Lakers, we were ready to come here immediately. In order to introduce your first-hand information to the country, we made the original schedule of "Forefront" on February 2. The premiere time has been advanced."

"Thank you CCTV for your love, and thank you Mr. Zhang for coming all the way here. I'll drink this one first, you can do whatever you want."

At noon on February 2013, 2, at a Chinese restaurant in Miami, Du Kang entertained and entertained a group of people from CCTV.

They came to take Miami this morning.

After coming to Miami, I approached Du Kang enthusiastically.

Of course Du Kang was very happy to meet the CCTV team.

Mr. Zhang is a person he likes very much. He is kind-looking and well-spoken. He is also a famous and die-hard fan of his Lakers team.

Well, it should be Kobe's famous diehard fan. Domestic fans gave him the nickname Weiping Bryant.

It was all a joke.

"We watched the game between the Lakers and the Celtics in the hotel yesterday. I really didn't expect you to use the UAE so much in the game. Nash, Howard, and Kobe took the initiative to play for the UAE and let the UAE play the game. The Lakers are the main attackers, and we were really worried at the time that what would you do if Ah Lian did not perform well!"

After half a round of drinking, when it comes to the emotional part, Mr. Zhang is really concerned, which is touching.

"The Lakers invited Ah Lian to come, not to use Ah Lian as a mascot. He is capable and suitable for the Lakers. We have to go far this season. Ah Lian is very important. Therefore, we urgently hope to build the confidence of Ah Lian. Looking at it, no team is more suitable to find confidence for the UAE than Garnett's Celtics."

In order to win the game and for the United Arab Emirates to produce good statistics, Du Kang used Yi Jianlian as the first main attacker before playing against the Celtics, and simulated three games. Finally, luckily, the third game showed the result he wanted.

If the third simulation did not produce a good result, Du Kang would probably burst into tears at that time.

In fact, after the first two games were held by the Celtics and Garnett, Du Kang really swears when he simulated the third game.

Well, I was scolding Howard who failed to make free throws.

The game was anxious, Rivers hacked the shark, and the Lakers lost.

However, Du Kang's embarrassment and anxiety at that time were only known to him, and others must have no way of knowing.

What others saw was the super handsome and stylish Lakers Eastern aristocrat, the Godfather type, who was sitting on the sidelines with his legs crossed, accompanied by Kobe, and smiling as he watched the two teams fight passionately on the field. coach.

What is super handsome, super stylish, super temperamental, super imposing, oriental aristocrat, godfather type coach...

There are a lot of adjectives, but these are all boasted by others, not by himself.

"The final result proved that my choice was not wrong. The UAE's performance was worthy of everyone's expectations. It shocked the NBA and regained confidence."

After Du Kang finished speaking, Teacher Zhang gave Du Kang a thumbs up.

"A man of high art is bold, Coach Xiao Du is really a man of high art!"

After Mr. Zhang Lili finished his compliments, the cutie girl, a cute and beautiful woman with a round face beside her, looked at Du Kang with a slightly drunken look, her eyes were blurred.

Young, rich, good temperament, and a little handsome, this is too perfect, the perfect diamond Du Laowu!

"Coach Xiao Du is now the idol of thousands of people."

"Sister Liu really knows how to joke, what kind of idol is not an idol, hehe, my son is five years old."

"..."

Sister Liu?

The son is five years old?
Squid girl's eyes, which were still leaking electricity just now, are already dumbfounded at this moment.

When other CCTV personnel saw this scene, they secretly admired it.

Coach Xiao Du is too straight!
That was not a hint just now, it was already expressed.

"Coach Xiao Du is only 23 years old now? The child is actually five years old?"

Soon, Teacher Zhang thought of something.

Du Kang's resume is that he did not take the college entrance examination!
And it was the last semester of the third year of high school that dropped out of school.

The child is five years old and dropped out of high school...

In many high schools in China, puppy love has to be broken up.

If the child messes up, in order to set an example to others, both will be expelled, unless someone takes the responsibility.

No matter what, one must drop out of school.

This time is the time to witness the feelings.

Du Kang sacrificed his own future for that girl.

"Coach Du has been very responsible since he was a child."

Teacher Zhang sighed sincerely.

"Where, I'm young and inexperienced, I can't stand the temptation, and I almost made a big mistake."

"Hahahaha, now I really want to meet the person who even Coach Xiaodu couldn't help but make a big mistake. Come on, Coach Xiaodu, I'll toast you."

"Coach Xiao Du, I would like to toast you too. I just admire a man of steel like Coach Xiao Du, a real man!"

For a while, the guests and the host enjoyed themselves.

Only the squid girl was secretly sad.

Listen, that's not the sound of clinking glasses.

It was the sound of heartbreak.

……

……

The CCTV team didn't wait for him in Los Angeles, and ran directly to Miami, definitely not looking for him for a drink.

The "Forefront" column hopes to record the NBA Spring Festival Gala battle between the Lakers and the Heat, and CCTV hopes to give him a special interview after the battle.

"Coach Xiao Du, just be whatever you are, don't accommodate us, just pretend we don't exist."

"Thank you Teacher Zhang for your understanding."

"Coach Xiao Du is not at all like when he was directing the game from the sidelines. He is humble, polite and kind."

"Where is it, the leader has won the award."

It seems that I am not humble, polite and kind when directing the game.

After lunch, Du Kang and the CCTV team took everyone back to the home of the Lakers, the arena of the University of Miami Cyclones.

Tomorrow is the battle against the Miami Heat. The Lakers players who just defeated the Celtics are very motivated.

Under the leadership of the team's assistant coaches Darwin Hamm and Clifford and the head trainer Gary Vitti, they are doing warm-up training.

The Lakers stars were all surprised when they saw Du Kang leading a group of Asian-looking people into the training hall.

In addition to Yi Jianlian, Kobe, Howard, Nash, Gasol, Artest and other Lakers star players can obviously recognize the leader of the group, Mr. Zhang.

Teacher Zhang can be regarded as an old forward reporter in the NBA.

He has basically interviewed all these Lakers stars, so he naturally knows them.

Therefore, there was no need for Du Kang's introduction at all. Mr. Zhang quickly led a team from CCTV to conduct interviews in the Lakers' training hall like a fish in water.

Except for the United Arab Emirates, none of the other Lakers players refused to be interviewed by Mr. Zhang and CCTV.

As for why only Ah Lian refused...

"Mr. Zhang, I have to complete the task of hitting 1000 mid-range shots assigned by the coach today. The time is very tight."

"Hit 1000 mid-range shots?"

"This is a personal training task assigned to me by the coach."

"Does Coach Xiao Du want you to finish it today?"

"No, I hope it can be done today, so that it can help the coach earlier."

Teacher Zhang nodded dully without realizing it, as if you have completed the training mission, your strength will definitely become stronger.

Coach Xiaodu is really as good as Barkley and the others boast, then Chinese basketball is still not in the sky!

However, Teacher Zhang finally took the CCTV crew to film Yi Jianlian's training, and did not bother Ah Lian any more.

With the arrival of a group of people from CCTV, among the stars of the Lakers, the most enthusiastic one is of course the Lakers superstar center Howard.

Because Du Kang has no training for the team to formulate a tactical system, and there is no special tactical training, players like Howard who have little personal training are very idle.

Others shooting training, do you let Howard also feel at ease shooting training?
Kobe can hit 1000 a day, and if you let Howard hit 1000 a day, wouldn't that kill him?
If you make Howard 100 in a day, he will feel that this is killing him.

In order not to make himself unhappy, Howard usually practiced free throws and shooting, he was half-hearted, basically just playing.

Five Lakers stars, Nash and Artest are training with the United Arab Emirates.

Bryant and Gasol were doing shots and drills, and Howard was doing nothing.

Du Kang also turned a blind eye to Howard's farting, and ignored it.

As long as Howard can perform all his tasks, he is not Howard's father, so how can he control everything.

Even if it's a father, it's annoying to be a son if he takes care of too much.

So far, Howard has executed his mission flawlessly, without faults.

After the warm-up training and personal training, the next training for the Lakers is the yellow-blue match that has become a routine.

It is still a group of Kobe, Gasol, Artest and others, and a group of Howard, Nash and Yi Jianlian.

The Lakers' yellow-blue confrontation is already familiar to Lakers players and coaches.

But Du Kang's execution of this yellow-blue confrontation again surprised the Lakers players and coaches.

The players were surprised because Gasol had given in in the last game.

Du Kang let Yi Jianlian start and Gasol came on as a substitute. Gasol didn't make trouble, and even worked hard when Yi Jianlian didn't play in the second quarter. For an NBA star, this is already softening.

"Isn't that enough? Is Gasol really going to say that he doesn't want to start and concentrate on the bench?"

"Is it possible that the coach wasn't targeting Gasol?"

"very possible!"

The Lakers players now have a little understanding of Du Kang's character. He is not a reckless person like D'Antoni who doesn't give players face.

Gasol's softness in the last game must have been enough.

So the only explanation is that this yellow-blue confrontation may not be aimed at Gasol, at least, isn't it all aimed at Gasol?
Who is that for?
It goes without saying.

Kobe!

For a moment, everyone turned their attention to Kobe.

Even the Lakers' two assistant coaches, Hamm and Clifford, are the same.

Being watched by everyone, Kobe was expressionless.

Howard was extremely excited and open.

"Kobe actually gave up in the last game, and took the initiative to make reasonable subjects..."

Clifford whispered to Howard.

"The coach definitely thinks it's not enough, Kobe needs to say it himself and give me the position of team leader!"

Is it really?

Clifford, who always claimed to be smart, was also at a loss at this time.

He thought the coach was standing on the third floor, but in fact, could it be the fourth floor?

Looking at Howard who was so excited at this time.

Looking at Howard who is looking forward to being able to abuse Kobe again at this time.

Looking at Howard, who has no intention of leaving the Lakers at this time, he is only thinking about performing well, double-killing Kobe on the court and training ground.

Clifford's witty head suddenly had a flash of inspiration!
Fake!

The coach actually targeted Dwight!
This, this, this...

Clifford was dumbfounded at the thought.

The coach's confrontation between yellow and blue is to stabilize Dwight!
Give Dwight confidence!
Give Dwight hope!
To Dwight Livy!
Let Kobe keep losing to Dwight. With Dwight's character, he will definitely gain confidence, feel hope, and build prestige with the Lakers.

Naturally, he will do his best for the Lakers, because he feels that this is already his team!
Dwight has been stabilized!
Howard has almost never told him these days that he regrets coming to the Lakers and will leave next season.

In the past few years, he has never seen Howard who is so desperate, so hardworking, and such a team in the game!
Dwight, he, has been manipulated by the coach without knowing it!

"This is why Gasol and Kobe have given in, and the coach still has to fight against the yellow and blue!"

You thought it was cultivating Nash and Yi Jianlian, Howard's running and gun tacit understanding, this is the first level.

You thought it was beating Gasol, it was the second tier.

You thought it was beating Kobe, it was the third tier.

In fact, the coach's ultimate goal is to stabilize Dwight, and the coach actually stands on the fourth floor!

and many more?

The coach is really just standing on the fourth floor?

Could it be the fifth floor that he hadn't thought of?
Or even the atmosphere?

Clifford was thinking about it blankly, the more he thought about it, the more frightening he became, and cold sweat started to break out on his back.

He, Howard's think tank, has only discovered it now!
very scary!
"Steve, are you okay?"

Du Kang withdrew his gaze from the training ground, squinted, and looked at Steve Clifford next to him with concern.

On the surface, he is his assistant, but in fact, he is Howard's confidant.

A very smart white coach.

Howard is also loyal and painstaking.

"Steve?"

"Ah, I'm fine, just, just thought of something."

"is it?"

Du Kang smiled and continued speaking noncommittally.

"You, sometimes you just think too much. Look at Darwin, he doesn't think about anything except completing my tasks. How happy he is every day."

"..."

Steve Clifford opened his mouth wide and couldn't say anything for a moment.

Out of the corner of the eye, that stupid big guy with a thicker and thicker neck, indeed eats well, sleeps well every day, and looks very happy and happy.

"Steve, you don't want to be just a worrying assistant coach for the rest of your life, do you?"

"..."

Look at the smile on Du Kang's face.

Clifford struggled to close his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, he had already made a decision.

"Coach, you are right."

He has been a player nanny for almost 10 years.

Really, tired of it.

Dwight, I'm sorry...

"Steve, Mr. Jim Bass and I are actually not bad people. Maybe the road we lead is brighter."

The guilty Steve Clifford froze for a moment, and then a relieved smile appeared on his face.

Clifford looked at the monster on the field that killed all directions and no one could be him, and nodded.

"You're right."

Dwight is really happy right now.

So, is it important to bring the painful truth?
……

……

It's a good thing to be able to get Clifford under control.

Clifford is Yao Ming's mentor, and also cultivated Howard. He is also smart and capable, and he is more reliable than Hamm at first glance.

In many cases, it can help him avoid detours and save MP.

Hamm is really useless in this regard now, after all, he is a rookie coach like him.

Clifford followed Van Gundy Jr. and Van Gundy Sr. for many years.

Little Van Gundy is good at defense, and Big Van Gundy is good at offense. Therefore, Clifford must be far stronger than him and Hamm in terms of ability.

"By the way, Steve, how do you think we should beat the Miami Heat in the next game?"

Du Kang asked expectantly.

"Beat the Miami Heat? Coach, why do you have such fantasies, no, thoughts, thoughts?"

"..."

Du Kang opened his mouth wide and didn't know how to answer for a while.

Suddenly, Du Kang felt the advantages of Hamm.

Hamm is really not worthless...

When Ham heard him ask such a question, he would definitely not ask such a question in return, and Gao Low would also give him one or two useless ideas.

Du Kang sighed inwardly.

Too smart, sometimes it seems not so good.
