Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 355 Bobo will never betray!
Popovich's Lakers debut attracted a lot of attention.

Needless to say, the darkness of human nature or anything like that, most of the looks are indeed malicious.

After all, Popovich has offended too many people in the NBA.

However, Popovich's performance in his Lakers debut was certainly outstanding.

It didn't let people see his embarrassment and pain. On the contrary, it also let people see his successful side with the Spurs.

In the past three years, he has indeed lost in front of Coach D and can no longer hold his head high.

But Parker's appearance and his embrace with Parker reminded people that Popovich was once a person who created an era in the NBA.

Before Coach D came along, Popovich was the hunter of the era who terrified the NBA!
After bidding farewell to Parker outside the door, Popovich walked into the Lakers training facility with his head held high.

Although many fans are now teasing him as the equipment he picked up after being defeated by Coach D, Parker's appearance and Parker's hug made him regain the arrogance he once had.

Even though Popovich has been sublimated now, he is still the proud Popovich and will not bow to anyone!
"Ding, your chief assistant coach's opinion of you is too low. Please check it carefully to avoid an uncontrollable situation."

Du Kang looked at Popovich, who was walking towards him with his head held high. The expression on his face didn't change at all, but he felt a little nervous in his heart.

Popovich came to the Lakers as an assistant coach, and Du Kang was given the position of chief assistant coach of the Lakers.

After all, he is very curious about Popovich's abilities.

Sure enough, Popovich did not disappoint him.

Defense, offense, tactics, vision, potential, all are A+ level coaches.

In addition, in Popovich's system proficiency interface, a bunch of tactical system proficiencies are above 90.

Even the UCLA air cut, the highest skill of Du Kang's sect, was trained to 95 by Popovich!

This proficiency is better than that of his orthodox UCLA air-cutting successor.

He is very aware of how difficult it will be to continue to improve once the system proficiency has reached over 90.

Above 90, it’s time to innovate.

If such a coach can be used by him and the Lakers this season, he can safely supervise the league's black whistle.

just...

Popovich's ability is ability.

Popovich really has no sense of belonging to the Lakers.

Popovich.

Opinion towards you: -100 (We probably shouldn't be in the same world!)

Mood: Sadness, stubbornness, longing, pride (sadness for the passing of the times, stubbornness for the past choices, longing for coming to the holy land of coaches, pride for one's past, even if it is Coach D, a saint in the NBA coaching world, Don't let me bow my head, Coach D. I know what you want to do. You want to supervise the league's black whistle. Let me lead the Lakers forward. Dream, I am in the Lakers and will not make any suggestions for you. I am here just to get to know you. , beat you!)

The last time I saw someone's favorable opinion of me on the system was -100, that was three years ago when I saw Kobe Bryant.

Unexpectedly, the second time I saw it, I actually saw it on Popovich.

Du Kang was not angry.

Du Kang even wanted to laugh when he saw that Popovich was in a mood to understand and defeat himself.

He knew Popovich inside out before Popovich knew him.

As for coming to the Lakers and not making any plans for yourself?
After coming to the Lakers, do you still want to do things according to your own ideas?

It's not that simple.

Seeing the strange smile on Du Kang's face, Popovich was stunned for a moment, but he still had a calm smile on his face.

"Coach D, thank you for the invitation."

Popovich took the initiative to reach out and shake Du Kang's hand.

Then he took the initiative to shake hands with Jenny Buss, Nash, Ham and Clifford next to Du Kang.

He looked just as calm as he did outside.

Even as lost equipment and trophies, he still maintains the dignity of the Spurs head coach and one of the best coaches in history.

I have to say that this attitude is indeed quite acceptable.

After greeting Du Kang, Popovich quickly began to lay the groundwork for his undercover work.

"Coach D, although I am now an assistant coach for the Lakers, I don't know that much about the Lakers after all, and I don't have a very clear understanding of the tactics and systems the Lakers use. Therefore, I am here to learn, learn from you, and learn from Jenny. , Steve, Darwin Learning.”

Popovich's stance was low.

but……

Du Kang did not immediately respond to Popovich's words about getting ready to lie flat or destroy him. Instead, he smiled and looked at Popovich's attributes and information on the system.

If it weren't for the lack of system, I might have been deceived by you, a shady old boy!

With your current abilities, you can almost surround me!
You can even practice my family’s secret skills better than me!

If it weren't for the systematic support, you would definitely be better leading the Lakers than anyone else in the world.

Because this Laker is tailor-made for you Popovich. This Laker can play in almost any system you want to play.

Therefore, in the face of Popovich's statement, Du Kang did not speak and just smiled.

Not only Du Kang didn't speak, but Nash, Aunt Jenny, Ham and Clifford next to Du Kang didn't speak, they were all smiling there.

Seeing Du Kang and others looking so strange now, Popovich was immediately confused.

What, is there anything wrong with what I said before?

"Coach D, what are you doing?"

"That's it, Pop, we have already made arrangements for your work. After all, you are the head coach of the Spurs, one of the best coaches in the league. We can't just treat you as an ordinary assistant coach. I have discussed with Jenny and the others that you will be the team’s chief assistant coach, and you will be the team’s only assistant coach.”

What the hell?
Shall I be the chief assistant coach?
Shouldn't the head assistant be Jenny Buss?

Jeanie Buss is the Lakers' lead assistant and acting head coach.

Facing Popovich's gaze, Du Kang continued with a smile.

"Bobo, after all, you said you are here to assist Jenny. Jenny is the acting head coach and you are the chief assistant coach. Is there no problem with this?"

No problem, indeed no problem, but why am I the only assistant coach of the Lakers?What about Hamm, Clifford and Nash? !

"Also, Steve and Darwin are my assistant coaches after all. Now that you, Jenny's full-time assistant, are here, it's up to you to assist Jenny. They will naturally come back to me to assist me. I am the head coach. , Nash, Hamm and Clifford are now associate head coaches.”

"..."

Looking at Du Kang, Popovich was completely confused.

Silly thing?
head coach?
Assistant head coach?
Coach D, are you afraid you are joking?
Since when did the NBA have such a position?

Just when Popovich was stunned, Du Kang smiled and called Kezi and Maizi who were not far away to come here.

"By the way, Pop, now Kobe and McGrady want to make some contributions to the team, so they are now the team's head coach assistants, and usually do some things within their ability in the team, such as speaking, For example, training supervisors, they generally don’t interfere in the team’s affairs, and you can treat them as if they don’t exist.” After Du Kang finished speaking, Kobe and Maizi smiled at Popovich.

speak?

Supervision?

Popovich can be sure that these two guys took a good vacation to return to the team, and they are definitely holding back a lot of bad water! ! !

After hanging out with Coach D for a few years, who the hell doesn't know how these two talk? They are quite vicious. LV4 is outspoken. Do you really think it's a joke?
Coach D is planning to use these two people as hairdryers!

Otherwise, you will brag about him!
One responsible for blowing him in front of him!

"Also, although Jenny is the acting head coach, you also know that she is one of the team's major shareholders and one of the team's decision-makers. Now that it has entered May, she still needs to be responsible for the draft. In the summer, She doesn’t have a lot of time with the team, except for directing games every night, and you may not see her at ordinary times.”

"..."

Popovich is holding back a lot of words now, but!
Until now, he has not had any chance to speak!

Because no matter how hard he prepared the manuscript, he finally found that if he prepared it, it would be out of date in an instant!
But who is Popovich?

He is one of the few extremely smart people in this world.

Soon, he figured out all the lines.

So, the former head coach of the Lakers, Coach D, became the head coach. He usually doesn’t come to the team and sits in the office?

Of the Lakers' four assistant coaches, Jenny Buss will be responsible for the summer. What about the other three going to the office to assist Du Kang and be promoted to deputy head coach?

Then, he, who was jokingly called the equipment captured by Coach D, is now the only coach of the Lakers who stays at the training ground all the time?

So, he has the final say on the Lakers’ training ground from now on?
Even if there are Kobe and McGrady supervising, Coach D said, just treat them as if they don't exist.

So, yesterday the Spurs were my one voice, and now, the Lakers have become my one voice? !

So, I didn’t get eliminated, I changed my fucking team and stayed in the playoffs? !
When he came to the Lakers, Popovich repeatedly assured Budenholzer and the others that when he came to the Lakers, he would never give the Lakers any advice.

Now, Popovich feels that his heart is beating crazily and his right hand is already shaking.

What a power!
Most head coaches in the NBA do not have such power!

Coach D gave him the power of being the godfather of the Lakers in this way!
Except that he is not coaching the Spurs, but the Lakers, he doesn't need to make any changes, just like he was with the Spurs before!
What a temptation this is!
"Ding, your chief assistant coach Popovich's mood is fluctuating wildly at this time, please pay attention and observe."

Du Kang looked at Popovich with a smile and glanced at the text on the system.

Well, it is indeed Popovich!

"Sorry, Coach D, I'm afraid I can't do the important task you gave me, so I..."

Coach D seemed to already know what he was going to say.

When he didn't finish speaking, he stopped him from continuing.

Of course Du Kang couldn't let Popovich finish what he said!
Popovich
Favorability towards you: 80
Mood: Fear, fear (I can’t play Coach D, I definitely can’t play Coach D, run away, run away quickly, if you don’t run away, I will be eaten by Coach D!!!)
"Pop, I know this is a heavy burden, and I also know that you must know the dilemma the Lakers are facing now. I want a championship, and I think you also want a championship. We are unanimous."

What a ghost!

I want a championship. What I want is the championship for the Spurs, Tim, and Manu!
However, Popovich still didn't find a chance to say it.

"Pop, I know the championship you want is not like this. This championship will not belong to Tim Duncan, but does this championship belong to me?
This championship does not belong to me, nor does it belong to Duncan, it belongs to you. "

"And you, Bobo, you need a championship without Tim Duncan, the strongest championship to defeat the three gods, in order to wash away all the stains on your body.

Do you really not want to defeat God and achieve the highest achievement as a coach? "

After Du Kang finished speaking, he left with Aunt Jenny, Nash, and Kobe.

However, when he reached the door, Du Kang stopped again.

"Pop, don't worry about working with the Lakers. I've already made an agreement with them. From now on in the Lakers, your words are mine. You can add your own ideas to this team at will."

After Du Kang finished speaking, Popovich came back to his senses.

At this time, his emotions were a little out of control.

Coach D's words just now were like a magic sound, tearing his pride and thoughts to pieces when he came to the Lakers!

If Coach D really does what he said, then this championship will send him directly to heaven. After Coach D, he becomes the second head coach in the NBA to defeat a team with three gods. What an honor it is!
Championship is no longer the highest honor for an NBA head coach!

Defeating the three gods in the finals and reversing God is the highest honor!

He wants it, of course he wants it!

I can’t handle it, I really can’t handle Coach D!
He was tempted, really tempted. At that moment, he was even ready to pick up the pointer thrown down by Coach D next to him!

but!

"Conspiracy, this must be Coach D's conspiracy, Coach D will definitely pick my fruit in the end!!!"

"Can't believe it, absolutely can't believe it!"

……

……

"Coach, is it really okay to hand over the team directly to Popovich like this?"

Back in Du Kang's office, Nash asked directly worriedly.

There is no one among the four assistants around Du Kang who is not worried.

"You have to trust our players, we want to step in, it's easy, there's no risk."

After Du Kang finished speaking, Nash and the others suddenly realized.

With Popovich's talents, there's no risk!
As long as Popovich is really willing to display his talents in the Lakers!
but!

"Coach, are you really willing to give all of this to Popovich?"

"If you have faith, I can give you all this too."

After Du Kang finished speaking with a smile, Nash and the others stopped talking.

Du Kang smiled and looked at the system.

Well, to be honest.

The words are harsh, but you should leave. You don’t plan to leave now, do you?

……

……

On the first day without Popovich, many people in the Spurs were thinking about him.

"Don't worry, Pop will be back soon, and he will definitely take the Lakers out of the playoffs right away!"

"Pop will never play for the Lakers. Pop is not Leonard and will never betray the Spurs!!"
