Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 333 Despair?No, Dawn, the mission is completed!

Before the game between the Lakers and Spurs on April 4.

Jenny Buss is under a lot of pressure right now.

As the first assistant coach and acting head coach of the Lakers, she is the first female head coach in NBA history to coach in the playoffs.

In addition, she is the first female assistant coach in NBA history and a female assistant coach who coaches games.

Aunt Jenny’s position in the NBA coaching world is very special.

Because of this extremely special status, Aunt Jenny is pursuing a career as a basketball head coach. Therefore, Aunt Jenny is studying very hard next to Du Kang this season.

At the same time, she thinks that she has grown a lot.

Aunt Jenny's feeling is correct. Like Du Kang, he is an A+ genius with potential. Aunt Jenny's growth has indeed been great this year.

However, no matter how fast he grows, he is still far behind compared to a historical coach like Popovich.

What's more, this Lakers team is indeed not as strong as the Spurs.

Aunt Jenny has been thinking about how to better compete with the Spurs these days.

She didn't think about beating the Spurs, it was impossible.

She has no such ability. The only thing she can do is to consume the Spurs as much as possible, wait for Coach D's return as the king, and provide more help for Coach D's return.

However, what made her despair was that she couldn't even figure out how to better consume the spurs.

In the last game, she wanted to play more with the Spurs. Coach D led the Lakers and the Spurs to fight fiercely for four quarters. I am not as good as Coach D, fighting fiercely for three quarters, or even two quarters, and one fierce battle. Is that okay?
However, in the last game, the Lakers collapsed in the first quarter.

Not to mention consuming the Spurs, it was simply watching the Spurs wreak havoc at Staples.

Now that she has come to the Holy City, the whole world around her is singing for the Spurs. The Lakers have no chance, and she has no chance either.

During the preparation meeting before the game, the entire conference room was completely silent.

Nash, Hamm, Clifford, Aunt Jenny, the four assistant coaches of the Lakers, were in terrible silence at this time, and no one could say a word.

This is the most desperate scenario.

"I still can't imagine that Coach D can actually lead this Lakers to achieve such a strong regular season record and such a strong playoff strength..."

"This is the difference between humans and gods..."

Clifford said with a wry smile.

As a disciple of Pat Riley, Clifford has seen the world, but he has really never seen a head coach like Coach D.

Coach D's team is really invincible in the hands of Coach D. However, if such an invincible team is taken over by others, it will be miserable.

Last season, he, Nash, and Hamm all encountered the same predicament as Jeanie Buss now.

In the finals, the Lakers they led even fell behind 0-3. As soon as Coach D came back, he directly reversed the Knicks 4-3.

Tell me, who can you talk to to explain this?

Do you think this is normal?

You said, if you were Coach D's assistant coach, would you lose your confidence in coaching?
You will feel that you are a super noob.

You will develop very serious self-doubt.

And just when the four assistant coaches of the Lakers were doubting life with the Lakers, who looked very strong under Coach D.

The office door opened.

The four of them looked at the door and saw the figure of the man pushing the door open, with surprised expressions on their faces.

"Paul?"

Pierce?
If the four of them are the people under the greatest pressure on the Lakers, they are once again compared to coach D as incompetent.

Then Pierce is the player with the most pressure on the Lakers besides Garnett.

Garnett's undercover and coward behavior directly implicated Pierce.

Obviously in this year's playoffs, Pierce worked hard in every game and even suppressed Leonard.

But he was still beaten into the same undercover role as Garnett.

Who makes Garnett and Pierce always linked together?
Garnett is an undercover agent, wouldn't Pierce be an undercover agent?
Therefore, some experts joked before the start of this game that Garnett was undercover in the last game because he fainted. In this game, it is Pierce's turn to be undercover!
The words of these experts are widely circulated.

The impact is also very large.

And you have no way to explain such heart-wrenching words.

Moreover, others will not listen to your explanation.

Even some Lakers celebrities are saying hello to Aunt Jenny through various connections.

"Jenny, I don't have a problem with Paul. I believe he is a very professional player, but, Jenny, he is a legend of the Celtics. It is difficult for us to trust him when the Lakers are in the most difficult time."

"Jenny, although it will be difficult for us to win the next game, maybe we can let Paul rest. Paul is too tired in this series."

Recalling the previous reminders given to her by various Lakers stars, and looking at Pierce, who had a very solemn expression at this time, Aunt Jenny frowned.

She is an extremely smart person.

Of course she knew the purpose of Pierce's visit.

but……

Aunt Jenny, who was caught in a dilemma, had a headache for a while.

So, if Coach D, what would he do?
Thinking of Coach D, Aunt Jenny, who was originally frowning, suddenly smiled on her face.

"If it were Coach D, he would definitely trust Pierce 100%, right?"

Coach D can even give 100% trust to people like KG, let alone Pierce?

As long as he is still his own player, he should be 100% trusted. If he is not trusted, he should be removed decisively instead of staying in the team.

Aunt Jenny felt as if she had some enlightenment.

So, seeing Pierce about to speak, Aunt Jenny smiled and shook her head.

"Paul, you don't have to promise anything to me. That's disrespectful to you. Neither Coach D nor I will doubt our players. Your guarantee will only make Coach D and I feel insulted. "

Aunt Jenny finished speaking with a smile. Pierce and Nash next to them were all dumbfounded.

Especially Pierce.

Before the game, it was not just the experts, media, and celebrities who suggested that he not play in this game.

Many Lakers fans say this.

Pierce did come over this time to promise Jenny Buss.

Make sure you are not undercover, make sure you can defeat Leonard in this game and lead the Lakers to victory.

So, be sure to make yourself a starter.

Moreover, he also prepared a lot of rhetoric.

For example, with the absence of Barkley and KG Wade Seth Curry in the Lakers, he is the only main offensive point in the entire team. He must step up, otherwise, the Lakers will not be able to win!

However, he didn't expect that the words he had prepared for a long time would be achieved without speaking out.

This made Pierce a little confused. If Jeanie Buss was Coach D, he would not come here to guarantee that he believed in Coach D. But this is Jeanie Buss, who has no respect for and looks down upon Jerry West and other Lakers celebrities. A woman would actually trust him, a player from the Celtics.

Especially after the KG incident.

Pierce took a deep, heavy breath.

Then he looked at Aunt Jenny seriously and said seriously.

"Thank you!"

Looking at Pierce who was so solemn at this time, Aunt Jenny smiled.

Sure enough, nothing wrong.

And just when Aunt Jenny felt that her decision was right, Pierce said thank you, took a look at the four Lakers assistant coaches, and spoke again.

"I know that our current situation is very bad, and it is very difficult for you. The Spurs are already celebrating their victory, and the fans in the Holy City seem to be reveling. The whole world thinks that we are destined to lose, but in fact, we are not There is no hope of winning.”

Ok?
Pierce's words stunned all four Lakers assistant coaches present.

what?
In addition to coming here to ensure that he was not an undercover agent, was Pierce also here to offer advice?

"The Spurs are not invulnerable now. This team still has weaknesses. Although Parker has left the Spurs, the contradictions between the old and new players of the Spurs have not disappeared. I am very clear about this. It should be said that no one is better than me. It’s clear!”

Ok? !

Jenny Buss, Nash, Clifford and Ham looked at Pierce in shock.

The Spurs are not that united internally, and they certainly know that.

But this does not affect the Spurs' performance on the court.

Leonard did not go undercover on the court. He never failed to work on the court in any game.

So, the problem is not a problem at all.

Therefore, Nash wanted to remind Pierce, but before he could finish speaking, he was stopped by Pierce.

"Steve, I am the person who has played against Leonard the most in this series. I know his strength very well. He did not go undercover on the court, but he also did not try his best!"

"I can clearly feel his hesitation and struggle. I believe that if it were Kobe, Tracy McGrady, Carter, or Iverson, they would also feel the same on the court. This is our first Six senses!”

As an expert in palace fighting, Aunt Jenny has such a witty mind.

After Pierce said this, Jenny Buss became excited.

"Someone must have told Leonard, don't win this series, you can't win. As long as the San Antonio team loses this series, the person who takes the blame won't be Leonard, it will only be Popovich. He did it on purpose. He came over to beat the Lakers and coach D in an attempt to get revenge, but ended up losing miserably again. However, in the end, it was not Popovich who took the blame for leaving the Spurs, but Tim Duncan. Yes, it was Duncan, the biggest blame. It belongs to Popovich, but Duncan will be leaving. As long as the Spurs lose this series, then Leonard will be the only leading player of the Spurs, and the Spurs will enter the era of Leonard!"

Aunt Jenny finished speaking excitedly, and the other three assistant coaches on the scene were almost stunned.

Then, Nash shouted almost subconsciously.

"No champion who is not FMVP!"

"8 points release the ball!!!"

Everyone looked at Pierce at this time.

These old-school swingmen are really strong. Their strength is not only their strength, but also their ability to feel the hearts of their opponents.

Just like Kobe, he can always guess his opponent's thoughts, and then make the most of when to double-team, when to press the defense, and when to release shots.

It’s true that having an elder in the family is like having a treasure!

"I can feel that Leonard doesn't want to do this, but someone is forcing him to do it, and the person who forces him to do it is very powerful, and Leonard will eventually choose to obey!"

"As long as we don't fall behind by more than 10 points in the first three quarters of this game, we will win this game! Leonard will use a Spurs defeat to send Duncan away! Even Leonard may personally win in the fourth quarter 0 shots in the quarter, tell Duncan that this team no longer needs him and he can leave!"

What the hell!

After Pierce finished speaking, everyone at the scene took a deep breath.

This is Tim Duncan!
Could it be that he couldn't get the most perfect departure from the Spurs, but was hurriedly sent away by his teammates?

Leaving the NBA with regret and unwillingness?

Is the strife within the Spurs so fierce now?
However, if he wasn't so fierce, how could Parker be sent away in a hurry this season?
If this is true, it is really unbelievable!
"The whole world thought that the Spurs would win, and the whole world thought that Tim Duncan would kill everyone in this game. In the end, it was the Spurs and Tim Duncan who fell to the ground. This is too cruel!"

"But only with such cruelty can we send Tim Duncan away, right?"

The Lakers assistant coaches present have now accepted Pierce's remarks.

In this case, it is very easy to handle.

What the Lakers are worried about is that without Garnett and Barkley, no one can guard Duncan alone. In addition, Ginobili and Leonard need to be the main players.

Therefore, there is no way to defend well.

If you flank Duncan, you will die, and if you defend Duncan alone, you will die.

But looking at it now, this is not the case at all.

"In this game, we must double-team Duncan resolutely and let the Spurs get the ball into Leonard's hands!"

After Aunt Jenny finished speaking, she looked at Pierce.

The meaning of Aunt Jenny's look was very clear.

In this game, the Lakers' defensive strength will be fully focused on Duncan and Ginobili, and there will be no extra strength to help Pierce.

Since Leonard will definitely be undercover in this game, then, you, who suppressed Leonard in the previous five games, even without help, should be able to easily defeat Leonard in this game. You don't need help, right?

"Leave this game to me!"

Pierce's eyes sparkled with excitement.

I'm not KG!

No, I will take KG to the second round, and I will tell the world that we are not undercover!
I will use my own way to give KG another chance to prove himself!

KG, don't let me down!
Pierce clenched his fists tightly.

Pierce is now full of confidence. He believes in his game feeling. This is the game feeling he has had for more than ten years and his entire career.He also believes in his abilities.

"Since KG is absent from the decisive battle with Tim Duncan, then it is up to me to make up for it, and it is up to me to decide the final outcome of this series!"

At 2015:4 pm on April 29, 10, AT&T Arena in San Antonio.

The game is about to start, and the entire arena is packed with seats.

The game hadn't even started yet, and the Spurs fans on site were wildly mocking the Lakers, Garnett, and Coach D.

Spurs fans brought the atmosphere at home to the extreme!

In front of the TV, at this time, James, Paul, Big Eyebrow, Randolph, Gay, Magic Monty and other Celtics players and coaches.

Yi Jianlian, Curry, Klay, Dream Chaser, Iguodala, Love, Cole and other Warriors players and coaches are also staring at this game.

"If Pierce is really undercover in this game, then this will definitely be the biggest humiliation for Coach D this season!"

"We had a beautiful season, but in the regular season, we were stabbed in the back by our own players. Coach D's coaching philosophy is to absolutely believe in his players. In the end, he was stabbed to death by his own players. He was hacked and defeated by 73 in the first round." , how ironic that is!”

Before the start of this game, the biggest suspense is whether Pierce will play in this game.

At the pre-game press conference, Jeanie Buss made it very clear that Pierce would definitely play in this game and be the starter.

Jeanie Buss’ statement shocked the entire NBA.

In the last game, KG pretended to be stunned and stabbed Coach D in the back.

Let the Lakers lose and put the Lakers in a desperate situation.

Is Jenny Buss a fool?

You can't tell from this, isn't this a firewall?

Even many Lakers fans on the Internet were dumbfounded.

It’s okay to have a head coach like Coach D.

Unexpectedly, my assistant coaches are all like this!

Obviously Jenny Buss was not like this before!

If it were the former Jeanie Buss, if the KG incident happened, even Pierce and Jerry West would be relegated to the sidelines!
In this world, she didn’t believe anyone except Jenny Bass herself.

Therefore, after Jeanie Buss said at the pre-game press conference that Pierce would start, many people actually didn't believe it.

Until the game starts.

Antetokounmpo, Ebanks, Pierce, McAway, Covington.

Pierce, really starting!
Then, the Spurs fans at the scene were excited!
"Paul Pierce will go undercover! Paul Pierce will help us win! Ouch! Paul Pierce will let us accomplish the greatest feat in NBA history!"

"Black Eight! Black Eight! Black Eight!"

"73 wins against Black Eight! 73 wins in the first round! Great 73 wins against Black Eight in the first round!"

The Spurs fans were singing.

Obviously, this is a song that has been prepared for a long time.

Just wait for Pierce to really start.

After seeing Pierce starting, many Lakers stars on the sidelines suggested to Aunt Jenny that it would be best to freeze Pierce in this game. The expressions on their faces could be described as heartbroken.

How did Jenny Buss take the shape of Coach D? How could she become a fairy tale like Coach D!

Obviously Jeanie Buss used to be the most realistic person in the NBA!

If it were Coach D, it would be impossible for them to give Coach D such advice.

It was precisely because this person was Jenny Buss that they felt that their opinion was likely to be adopted.

Well now, Jenny Buss has also turned into Coach D.

"It doesn't matter, even if he starts, it might just be a show-off. I know Jenny, he can't possibly believe Pierce!"

"That's right, we don't believe Pierce, and Jenny is even more impossible!"

Then, the game started, and the Lakers stars who had just thought that Jeanie Buss could not believe Pierce were shocked again.

Even O'Neal and Kenny Smith, who commented on this game, were shocked.

"Oh my God! What on earth is Jeanie Buss doing!!! She actually defended Duncan and Ginobili with all her strength in this game, leaving Leonard to Pierce alone!!!"

"Jenny Buss not only started Pierce, but she was also prepared to leave the outcome of this game entirely to Pierce!!!!"

"Don't Jenny Buss know that the Pierce in this game is completely different from the Pierce in the previous five games?!"

"I bet that Pierce will be blown away by Leonard in this game. He suppressed Leonard Pierce in the previous five games, and Leonard will definitely be blown away by Leonard in this game!!!"

"After KG slapped Coach D hard, Jenny Buss and Pierce will slap Coach D hard again!!!"

This is the bad impact of KG's fake fainting incident. Because of the added skin, no one believed Pierce at all.

Everyone will believe that Pierce will be undercover in this game!

On the court, Pierce gritted his teeth as he listened to Spurs fans singing his undercover song.

"The real undercover in this game will be your Kawhi Leonard!"

"At the very top, being pushed down the mountain from behind by one of your own will definitely feel great!"

Game start.

Spurs Duncan grabbed the jump ball and the Spurs attacked first.

On the Spurs' first attack, the ball hit Leonard's hands.

At this time, Aunt Jenny, Nash, Hamm, and Clifford on the sidelines all looked expectantly at Pierce and Leonard on the court.

Seeing Leonard receiving the ball with his back against him, Pierce's originally excited eyes became even more excited.

"Boy, as long as this team has Tim Duncan, you will never become a truly recognized superstar, you will always be just a bigger role player!"

"Boy, you never know what the name Tim Duncan means to the league and the Spurs. You can't even beat me, an ordinary old guy who is about to retire!"

Pierce was talking trash while staring at Leonard's expression. Leonard, no expression!
However, the muscles in Leonard's hands were constantly tightening, and the veins in his hands were even exposed!

Get angry!

Boy, anger will only make you weaker!

In this game, you will hear the most uncomfortable trash talk in your career!

This game will become your nightmare!

Turn around!

Lean back!

Shot!

Leonard, vote!

Without any hesitation!

Pierce didn't take off, but he stuck to it.

His current jumping ability is as good as the bottom plate. Old people really can't jump anymore.

After taking Leonard's kick, Pierce turned around and shouted to his teammates behind him.

"Backboard!"

The Lakers don't have a serious center, or even a serious power forward.

Basketball inside is at a disadvantage, so more protection is needed.

but!

Pierce finished shouting!
The whole scene was silent!

A swipe!
hit!

After a moment of silence, the entire stadium burst into loud cheers and laughter!

Even O'Neal in the commentary box burst out laughing after being stunned for a short time!
"Hahahaha, Pierce's acting skills are quite good! An undercover agent actually performed that kind of loyalty and loyalty, hahahaha..."

Did you play it?
of course not!

His defense just now definitely put pressure on Leonard, even slightly more pressure than in the previous five games!
but!

Hit!
He shot with anger, but he had such strong stability!
Stability that has never been shown in the previous five games!
Pierce is shocked!

At this time, Duncan, who had already walked back to the three-point line, smiled blankly and touched the back of Leonard's head to show encouragement.

Leonard's originally expressionless face also showed a smile.

Finally, I can focus all my attention on the game!
Finally, I no longer have to worry about my uncle and the team!

The team wants me to win!

Uncle, I also hope I win!

Tim, I will send you away just like you sent away David!
The strongest single-core wins the championship, I can!
This year, that’s it!

Leonard didn't even look at Pierce before following Duncan and passing by Pierce.

three hours later.

G6 between the Lakers and Spurs, the game is over.

In the end, the Spurs defeated the Lakers 85-69 at home.

Throughout the game, Leonard scored the highest score in the game, making 25 of 11 shots, 8 of 5 three-pointers, and 8 of 8 free throws. He scored 35 points plus 4 steals and 2 blocks.

Pierce, who faced off against Leonard in this game, made 34 of 9, 8 of 2 three-pointers, and 9 of 6 free throws, scoring the Lakers' highest 26 points.

He used nearly half of the Lakers' shots and scored one-third of the Lakers' points.

Pierce and Leonard are the winners in this game.

Leonard, completely destroyed Pierce!
In the first five games, Pierce suppressed Leonard.

In this game, it looked like he was working hard, but in fact, he was beaten violently by Leonard!

"There is no doubt that this is the most brilliant undercover agent!"

"Of the two undercover agents of the Celtics, KG is the worst, but Pierce is the best!"

"The final result was that the Spurs were in a desperate situation of falling behind 1-3, and with the help of Garnett and Pierce, they finally caught up with the Lakers 3-3!"

“This time, it’s not an ordinary Black Eight, or even an ordinary Black Eight with 73 wins. This time, it’s even a huge comeback from a 1-3 deficit!!!”

"The Celtics are undercover. They want to nail Coach D and the Lakers to the pillar of shame in this series. Whatever is the most shameful, they will do it!"

"Oh my God! The 73-win team, leading 3-1, was eventually reversed. I can't imagine how miserable Coach D and the Lakers will be after this happens! I even suspect that Coach D may never He will be devastated and his moral integrity will be damaged because he has never been backstabbed by his most trusted player!"

"Did you know that Paul Pierce would act so loyally? Because, in the next game, he will still stay on the court and want to go undercover. He doesn't want to give the Lakers any chance!"

"Jenny Buss, Coach D, wake up, the Spurs' winning rate is already as high as 99.99%!!!!"

O'Neal was shouting crazily.

Spurs fans celebrated wildly.

Duncan and Leonard hugged the general on the sidelines.

Popovich smiled broadly.

Pierce, Jeanie Buss, Nash, all Lakers players and coaches are confused.

This is real despair!
Du Kang felt it all, and felt their despair through the screen.

"Ding, your player Kevin Garnett completed Tim Duncan's career. In his career, he won one Rookie of the Year, nine first-teamers, nine first-team defenses, 4 MVPs, 6 championships, and 4 FMVPs. , career evaluation, S+ grade, your player Kevin Garnett completed all 16 years of his career with the Spurs, surpassing Tim Duncan's achievements."

"Ding, congratulations on getting a Tim Duncan character template card, please check it out."

Du Kang clenched his fists in excitement.

Dawn is here!

at the same time.

Garnett didn't dare to open his eyes.

He didn't dare to hear the admiral's voice next to him again!
He dare not!
He dare not reincarnate again!
This career consumed all his confidence, enthusiasm and passion.

Now, he just wants to return to reality!

Reality, will it happen?
Almost at the same time, a voice came from Garnett's ear.

"Dirk, they said we would be easily swept by the Trail Blazers. Hahahaha. This is the funniest joke I've ever heard, don't you think?"

"..."

Opening his eyes and looking at Jason Terry in front of him, Garnett felt that his hands were shaking and his whole body was shaking!
