Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 369 The powerful emperor!
"Steve, what did the coach say?"

The Western Conference Finals between the Lakers and Warriors are about to begin, and now the Lakers are filled with gloom and gloom.

Except for Seth Curry who is nervous, excited, scared, and has a variety of mixed emotions looking forward to the showdown with his brother, the other Lakers players are now worried.

The fear is not over. Having reached this point, who doesn’t want to go one step further?

We have already reached the Western Conference Finals, why not go to the Finals to slay the gods?

However, the Warriors are ahead.

Moreover, it’s not just the Warriors ahead.

Therefore, Nash, the undercover agent sent by the player to Du Kang, is very important for the transmission of information to Du Kang. They really hope that Du Kang will have any attitude and instructions for this series.

Then, after receiving Du Kang's attitude and instructions from Nash, all the Lakers players were dumbfounded.

What the hell?
"Steve, are you right?"

"The coach really said that Bobo already has a solution?"

Kobe looked at Nash with wide eyes and disbelief.

Seeing Kobe like this and seeing other Lakers players around him like this, Nash himself is also confused. Yes, that's what the coach said, and I don't believe it either.

As Bobo looks like now, he doesn't look like he has found a way.

"How about I go and ask?!"

Popovich and the others don't believe that much, but their great coach D, they completely believe it!
Since the great Coach D said that Popovich has found a way, then he probably has really found a way!

So Garnett, who was most familiar with Popovich and had been his disciple and opponent for who knows how many years, ran directly to Popovich to inquire about the news.

"Bobo, the coach said, you have found a way to deal with the opponent in the next series. Tell me what way you want. I will definitely not tell anyone. I am just curious."

Garnett put his arm around Popovich's shoulders and laughed heartily.

At this time, almost all the other Lakers players in the Lakers training hall were quietly squinting and eavesdropping.

When Garnett asked this, Popovich was stunned for a moment, and then the surprise on his face appeared and disappeared in an instant.

In the end, the expression on his face turned into a bitter look, exactly the same as when he was thinking about how to deal with the next opponent.

"Coach D must have misunderstood. I have already found a way to defeat my next series opponent. I am ready to give up now."

The Lakers' next opponent is not the Warriors, but the Warriors wearing divine uniforms.

This opponent is enough to make anyone give up.

Considering Popovich's current expression and the actual situation, Popovich's words are very convincing.

Therefore, even Garnett, who is very familiar with Popovich, did not see any false feeling on Popovich's face at this time.

Garnett actually admitted that the Popovich in the real world seemed to be better than the Popovich in his dreams.

After all, in the real world, there is a ceiling-level coach like Coach D. Under his encouragement, Bobo is better than the one in his dreams. This is normal.

Therefore, he was not sure whether the Bobo he knew was the Bobo he knew.

However, looking at the expression on Bobo's face at this time, Garnett still chose to believe it.

Just when Garnett was about to leave in disappointment...

Popovich stopped him.

"KG, if you and the Lakers players, all of you, can play to your full level in the next game and let us win a game at home, maybe we can really defeat the Warriors and advance to the finals."

"..."

Garnett is really stupid now.

Didn't you say there is no way?
Why do you dare to make such a promise?

"Is this a promise?"

"Well, this is the promise. If we lose the next game, there is nothing I can do. If we win the next game, and we win by a big score, I can do something."

After Popovich smiled, Garnett didn't understand what was going on.

Even if we can win the next game by a big score, what's the use?

The more you win, the greater the blow you will encounter, and the stronger you will be when you encounter resistance and magical equipment.

Shouldn't we just keep a low profile and let the gods underestimate the enemy like we did with the Mavericks?

I don't understand. Garnett really doesn't understand.

However, he understands that Bobo seems to have a solution.

The great Coach D, it seems, really got it right.

Finally, Garnett told the Lakers players the answer he got from Popovich.

Every Lakers player was stunned. Even Jokic, who was practicing three-pointers alone, was stunned when he heard the movements of his teammates.

Jokic's release date is very close. He thought that James' suspension would actually be available in the Western Conference Finals.

However, Jokic is still a special presence in the Lakers.

He is the No. [-] pick in this season's draft. He is a shame to Coach D's invincible draft vision. He is Coach D's favorite player, but he will definitely not be Popovich's favorite player.

It is impossible for Popovich to give Jokic the greatest or even unlimited trust like Coach D.

Even in such a critical situation, Popovich couldn't give Jokic too many opportunities to play, let alone give Jokic an important role.

This has become an embarrassing place for Jokic.

During many suspensions in the past, he was looking forward to counting the days and waiting for his comeback to repay Coach D for his trust.

But now, as the date of lifting the ban comes, he is worrying about gains and losses, feeling that his efforts during the ban may never be seen again.

His teammates' excitement, teammates' excitement, teammates' worries, and teammates' joy seemed to have nothing to do with him.

Of course he didn't want this, but now, he seemed to have no other choice but to do this.

a.

Maybe there will never be another chance this season, but as long as he stays with the Lakers, Coach D will always come back. There is always a chance.

only!

I can’t give Coach D a dynasty as a token of gratitude, as a token of gratitude, I’m really, really angry!

Jokic threw the basketball in his hand from the three-point line, and with a bang, the basketball hit the basket hard.

"Nicholas, you are upset."

Looking at Ebanks who expressionlessly picked up the basketball that he had thrown away, Jokic looked ashamed.

Teacher Devin, I'm really sorry. My heart is really messed up...

The current Lakers are a very strange team.

This team does not have the same style, and even Kobe cannot completely make all the players on this team look like him.

Kobe couldn't get Ebanks to join in either.

Kobe couldn't keep Antetokounmpo from grinning.

Kobe couldn't keep McAway from going crazy.

Naturally, Kobe couldn't get Wade to listen to him.

This Laker does not belong to anyone now. No one, except a certain person, can make this Laker surrender.

However, the Lakers, where Ebanks is, have always been a paradise.

In the Lakers, he is actually a person who is qualified to compete for the position of talker.

Regardless of his strength, it is incomparable to Kobe and the others.

However, he is the German teacher shared by the young Lakers!

This German teacher, who is "very lacking in virtue" among the Los Angeles zero-dollar shopping community, is also curious about what method Popovich can use to defeat the magical warrior.

So, after hearing the promise Popovich made to them, Ebanks silently took note of it.

"Do you want to be at your best in the next game and win, preferably a big win?"

Ebanks silently dribbled the basketball he picked up to the three-point line in the corner, then turned around, leaned back, and shot!
The movements are very smooth!
A swipe!
hit!

Teacher Dade, the god of open shots for the Lakers, is well-deserved!
Seeing Ebanks' shots like this, Jokic can always feel the power of incomparable tranquility.

Before the Western Conference Finals on May 5, the atmosphere in the Lakers was not very good.The feeling of being on the guillotine is indeed impossible to get better.

However, now, the atmosphere at the Lakers training ground has changed and it has become completely different!

Seeing the change in the atmosphere among the Lakers players at this time, Popovich's eyes narrowed and a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Coach D, this is what you want to see, right?"

"However, I absolutely don't believe it. You guessed that I really have a solution!"

"You can never guess what I am going to do next, to defeat the Warriors!"

Popovich is very confident.

He knew very well what kind of team the Lakers were, so how could he tell his plan.

If he says it today, it will no longer be a secret tomorrow.

Therefore, the reason why Coach D said that was obviously to give the now confused Lakers players a little confidence.

Now, I have given you this confidence!

Moreover, Coach D's words are also what he hopes to see, because next, he also wants to boost the confidence of the Lakers players.

Because being able to defeat the Warriors in the next game is really one of the prerequisites for his plan.

Of course, if he loses to the Warriors, he can also implement another plan, and there will be opportunities, but the opportunities will be much less.

Therefore, Coach D really helped him a lot by saying that he had a solution.

With the prestige of Coach D, he doesn't need to be distracted to make the Lakers players believe in him.

Ok?
At this moment, the expression on Popovich's face froze.

"Why did Coach D find out so keenly again, what do I need?!!!"

The first step of my plan is for the Lakers players to become confident. Did the Lakers players really regain their confidence under the guidance of Coach D?
Coach D, you always put what I need most in front of me. Is this a coincidence?

Is this really a coincidence?
Popovich, who was confident just now, suddenly felt less confident.

No way?
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!!!"

Popovich always feels like he was once bitten by a snake and has been afraid of ropes for ten years. No matter how invincible Coach D is, he is not so invincible that he can read minds.

Even if he can read minds, he has never told anyone about this matter, nor will he think about it in front of Coach D. He has not even appeared in front of Coach D recently, and even if he can read minds, he can't read what he wants to do.

After confirming that he was scaring himself, the expression on Popovich's face became relaxed and confident again.

Popovich needs Lakers players to find that feeling of confidence.

In the next game, he needs a Lakers team that looks invincible.

This is the most important preparation for the Lakers before the game.

In addition, Lakers players watching the Eastern Conference Finals G1 between the Cavaliers and Celtics together is also an important preparation course.

In fact, there is nothing to watch in the previous playoffs in the Eastern Conference.

The Cavaliers were two 4-0s, relaxed, happy, and extremely powerful, with no real details at all.

The Celtics defeated their opponents 4-2.

James' team is like this. No matter how strong it is, in actual combat, it is difficult to achieve a clean and explosive kill.

So much so that many James Black said that he was brushing up on total statistics and games.

More likely, it is actually to find the state, to find the state of myself, and to find the state of the team, and to run into the team well.

It's also possible that, well, James' team is indeed not that invincible.

It's different now. The Cavaliers and Celtics, Oden and James, the two teams meet together, which is definitely very interesting.

In such a close match, the two teams will not hold anything back.

"Before the game, James said he was fifty times stronger than before."

"Irving said before the game that James, who is fifty times stronger, still can't beat the Cavaliers."

James originally wanted to pretend.

Irving's words immediately left James speechless.

If we really lose this game, then James, who is fifty times better than Oden, would be really ugly.

Ou Shenxian was put directly on the fire and roasted.

Therefore, this game was manipulated by James himself so that he could only win, not lose.

James who was fifty times stronger was killed by Oden. So what qualifications did James, who was fifty times weaker, have to compete with Oden for the king?
By then, there will be only one king in the entire Cleveland, and that is Emperor Oden, James?This piece of trash is fifty times stronger than Emperor Oden. Get out of here as far as you can. I don’t have such a good king in Cleveland!
I have to say, Irving speaks very well.

Whether James broke through the defense remains to be verified. James really broke through the defense.

Irving was directly dubbed by many fans as James' defense-breaking weapon.

Therefore, before the game started, James really hoped that James and Paul could beat Irving in this game.

In fact, no matter how noisy and lively it is before the game, for most people, this game is actually evenly matched.

Including Popovich, he thinks so too.

Then, after G1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, Popovich was completely dumbfounded.

In this game, Irving was almost beaten to death by the Celtics because of his words. He shot 22 of 7 in the game and only scored 20 points.

However, the final result of this game was 90 to 100. The Celtics were killed by Oden at home, in the North Shore Garden, under the eyes of Celtic fans!

Thick Eyebrow and Randolph's inside line were directly blown away by Oden!
The forward lines of Rudy Gay and James were defended by Oden, who made 17 of 5 and 21 of 7.

As for Paul, he was very accurate, shooting 12 of 8, but only 20 points.

而奥登，全场比赛，15中13，罚球10中9，三分1中1，全场砍下了36分20篮板7助攻3抢断7盖帽。

Those three-pointers, those mid-range shots, those fantastic moves in the paint, and those incredible defense and shot-blocking.

"Fake!!!!"

"Fake! Fake! Fake!!!"

The on-site Celtics DJ broke the defense!
On the court, at this time, because he did not shoot a three-pointer at the last moment of the game, he chose to go for a layup to score 20 points. In the end, he was severely blocked by Oden. James, who did not give him a chance to lay up, knelt on the ground and watched. Oden in front was completely covered.

As the commentator of this game, Reggie Miller was already watching this scene and was crazy with excitement!

"James, who was fifty times more powerful, still knelt at Oden's feet!!!"

"How can there be such a powerful player in this world!!!"

"Coach D, what kind of monster did you bring back for us!!!"

"The great Greg Oden, the great Emperor, and the great Coach D!!!"

Everyone was impressed by that giant!

Including Owen.

This is the first time he has seen Oden so powerful!
It turns out that Oden was just teasing him during the regular season!
Owen held his hands tightly.

Popovich was also shocked.

Because, with this player who he once wanted to steal but was finally intercepted by Coach D, with his current strength, is he really qualified to feel pity and regret?

If Oden gives him, can he be trained like this?
Cole was also shocked.

If they meet Oden in the finals, the Warriors will seem to be in danger inside! ! !

"Coach D!"

Cole's lip trembled.

"monster!!!"

This is a real monster, an almost perfect monster!

And the monster standing in the middle of the stadium, who was shocked by everyone, was smiling, closing his eyes, and looking at the sky.

"Coach, I won't let you down, wait for me..."

"I look forward to your final lesson!"
