Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 413 A desperate war!

Du Kang knew very well that they would never let him win the second game. At the same time, they desperately wanted to defeat themselves, as they were already on top.

Therefore, no matter how fierce they are, Du Kang must not leave the game before the Lakers win three games.

Miracle Monty is very strong, Miracle Monty, Phil Jackson, and Popovich are different from all his opponents.

Even if he is already cultivating his secret weapon Jokic, he is not completely sure that he can perform the miracle last year.

So, he could only wait.

Not only does he need to wait, but all Lakers players and coaches also need to wait.

"Dwyane, I know you really want to step on LeBron James, but now, I hope you can suppress your feelings temporarily. Now, Dwyane Wade is completely out of balance."

"At the same time, the current Lakers have been completely controlled. The current Lakers are already lambs waiting to be slaughtered and can be manipulated by others."

Even if the Lakers can win three games, Du Kang is actually not sure of winning the game, defeating the amazing Monty, and winning the game.

However, this is his and the Lakers' only chance.

After Wade and the others left Du Kang's office, Du Kang took the initiative to make a phone call with Popovich.

Du Kang just told Popovich one thing.

That is, James' current situation is fake, it was Wade who judged it, and everything James does now is fake.

After listening to Du Kang's words, Popovich suddenly fell silent.

Popovich is a very smart man, and he can be regarded as James' lifelong enemy.

Popovich's understanding of James may be the second-level existence in the world after Wade.

With Popovich's intelligence and understanding of James, it is not difficult for Popovich to guess what James and the forces behind him want to do.

"Coach D, you actually don't have to tell me this."

After a long time, Popovich spoke.

"Pop, I have always said that you are a Laker now. In my heart, we already share honor and disgrace. I am willing to bear all your pressure, and naturally I am also willing to bear all your honor and disgrace."

Du Kang smiled.

Should he tell Popovich about this?

After Wade and the others left, Du Kang just thought about it for a moment and decided to tell the whole story.

Although he did trick Bobo by bringing him over.

However, at this time, Du Kang's conscience and reason told him that he could not let Popovich block all his guns without knowing anything.

Although he dug Bobo over to block his gun.

But some guns are really over the top.

And, more importantly, as he said, he has actually recognized Popovich as a real Laker.

Rather than the opponent he hated the most before.

After Du Kang finished speaking, Popovich on the opposite side was still silent, except for his breathing which was obviously quickening.

Feeling Popovich's silence, Du Kang smiled.

"I know that such a thing is too difficult for Bobo and extremely painful for anyone. No one wants to go on a path that is destined to be fruitless."

Yes, for Bobo, this is a fruitless road.

When Bobo comes to the Lakers, he wants to show off.

Then, the divine costume will be put on himself, and he will not be able to take it off.

He had no chance of fighting against the divine armor.

Because, it is Coach D who is waiting for him.

In fact, he can only be used as a consumable.

Perhaps his only role now is to let Coach D and the Lakers understand Miracle Monty better, so that Coach D can better defeat the Celtics and Miracle Monty, and better defeat Miracle when he comes back in the last game.

Now, he is just a head coach making wedding clothes for others.

What about defeating the divine costume, becoming a god in one fell swoop, defeating God, and proving oneself.

All of this is fake, there is no chance, he doesn't have any chance.

This made him instantly meaningless with the Lakers.

Du Kang can understand Popovich's mood now. Popovich must have taken time out.

Therefore, he can understand if Popovich gives up his job.

His strategy does not necessarily require Popovich, Nash, Hamm, Clifford or even Aunt Jenny, who can all act as the Lakers head coach.

Anyway, the final result is beyond their control.

The outcome of the game is not decided by them, nor is it decided by Popovich.

Therefore, if Popovich really doesn't want to do it, he doesn't want to suffer this insult.

Dukan is willing to let Popovich resign as the team's acting head coach now.

However, compared to Nash and the others, Popovich is stronger. Although it has no impact on the result, it can increase the difficulty of their empty court and force out more of the magical Monty.

However, Popovich is really being cheated by him so badly that he can no longer stay with the Spurs. If he doesn't tell him clearly, it will be equivalent to him and the Lakers stabbing him in the back, taking advantage of him, and not taking advantage of him. Being one of our own would probably be a bigger blow to Popovich than the Spurs firing him.

Therefore, in terms of conscience, Du Kang really couldn't pass his own test.

Although he regards Popovich as one of his own, there is really no need for Popovich to suppress all his honor for him and the Lakers.

The Spurs don't want him anymore, and he can't prove himself with the Lakers. Now it would be too tragic if even his lifelong reputation has to be tarnished.

Although Popovich is a bad guy, all the honors in his career are achieved with his own hands. No matter how bad Popovich is, he will never say that Popovich has the help of his godfather.

The whole world knows that Popovich has always been the target of the league's attack.

And this is one of the things that Popovich was most proud of before. Damn it, he won so many championships despite the opposition of the NBA and David Stern!

This is something that Popovich has always been proud of. Because of this reputation, he has angrily criticized the league and the league's vice president more than once, saying that he was targeting himself, the Spurs, and Bowen.

There is nothing to gain, and his last reputation has to be weighed down. This is indeed too cruel for Popovich.

"If Bobo doesn't want to coach anymore, I can..."

Du Kang did not seek to retreat in order to advance, but was sincere.

However, this time, before Du Kang could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Popovich on the other end of the phone.

"No need, until you come back, I will be the coach for the next games."

Ok? !

Du Kang looked surprised.

Popovich on the other end of the phone continued to talk, as if talking to himself.

"Maybe this finals really means nothing to me, but it has unparalleled meaning to you, the Lakers, and even the NBA."

Popovich's voice still kept coming.

"As you said, I am already a Laker, I am willing to sacrifice everything for my team, and..."

"and?"

Popovich on the other side smiled.

Whether it's a bitter smile or a genuine smile, in short, it's a smile.

Du Kang's eyes widened.

"Moreover, how can it be that being able to participate in such a great cause means nothing to me?"

"Great cause..."

Du Kang chewed on these words from Popovich's mouth.

"As a basketball person and an NBA head coach, what you are doing now is the greatest cause in my heart!"

Popovich looked at the Lakers players who were still training not far away, and looked at Wade who had returned, with a smile on his face filled with memories.

When Coach D entered the NBA in his first season, he was angry at James for his so-called team play because of Kobe. He was angry at the media who believed that James was the most team-oriented player and Kobe was the most selfish player. He single-handedly changed the NBA to increasingly advocate triple-doubles. With assists and high-level statistics, he was actually full of shock, admiration, and of course reverence for Du Kang.

When Coach D was a rookie, he was doing things that all NBA players, coaches and professionals wanted to do but could not do or did not dare to do.

It's hard to ignore this kind of courage and madness in confronting the general trend of the entire NBA on his own.

If you don't consider competitors, there is no doubt that Coach D is the head coach he respects most.

Even above the master Larry Brown and the second master Nelson.

Yes, he is indeed no longer able to pursue his personal goals.

Perhaps only after he loses the pursuit of personal goals can he have the opportunity to look away from personal gains and losses, and be able to do something like Coach D, to do something bigger, to do something big that can change the NBA landscape.

"Coach D, right now, I'm honored to be a part of the greatest thing you're doing, and that's what it means for me to stay in the Finals. I don't regret my decision, whether it's coming to the Lakers or continuing now. I don’t regret staying, it will be the most special journey in my coaching career.”

Popovich's excited voice returned to calm.

But this time it was Du Kang's turn to be silent. After a moment of silence, Du Kang spoke again.

"Bobo..."

"Ok?"

"Thank you."

Popovich was stunned for a moment, but soon Popovich came back to his senses, and the smile that had disappeared appeared on his face again.

This time, the smile didn't have any bitterness or unwillingness.

It's pure and unimaginable.

On June 2015, 6, the Lakers played the Celtics at home in G8 of the Finals. This game attracted more attention than the previous G2 due to the incident of Coach D's return and James' whitewash incident before the game. .

However, this time, everyone's attention when watching this game is no longer about the outcome, or rather, not just about the outcome, but the threat of the black hook executive at the end of James' video.

Yes, Hooks fired that executive.

But what is a firing in the United States?

The money is already in place, and being fired is equivalent to the freedom of wealth.

How many executives and staff members of the Lakers have been fired in the past two years? How comfortable are they now living with the money they were bribed with?

James successfully jumped back and washed his hands. This will definitely anger the capital.

Now everyone is watching how crazy this group of capital is.

"This time, no matter how crazy they are, I will stand on James' side. I used to be James Black, but now, I am James' biggest honey. I want to tell those people who are trying to control everything that in this world, there are Fairness and justice!”

Yes, now James has even become the embodiment of fairness and justice.

At this time in the United States, the anger against Wall Street is still there, and the anger against capital is still there. Just like the NBA has not been completely tamed by capital because of Du Kang's obstruction, in fact, the entire social sentiment in the United States has not been completely tamed by capital either. .

Therefore, in this game, not only NBA fans, but many onlookers who do not watch the NBA also joined in their support for James.

It may not be an exaggeration to say that the game between the Lakers and Celtics is perhaps the most watched game in NBA history.

Because the social impact of this game was so great, even NBA Commissioner David Stern came to the scene.

Others have already predicted that this game will be fair and just, James. As the president of the league, it is definitely inappropriate for you not to come.

Seeing James on the court who was actively looking for Wade to hug him, David Stern always had a calm face on his face, his eyes narrowed, without any smile.

If Wade is the man who knows James best in the world.

Then David Stern is definitely the second person to know.

He definitely doesn't believe that James is white now.

He knows very well what kind of person James is.

He also knows too well how much resources the capital behind James has invested in James.

Especially in the past two years, because of Coach D, the capital behind him has gone crazy in order to control the NBA.

That kind of investment was astonishing even to David Stern, the league president.

If James jumps back like this, it is definitely not as simple as threatening to mess with James in the game.

James can no longer be separated from the capital behind him.

This is also the reason for his despair. This is also the reason why Coach D wanted to retire and leave the NBA before he came to the NBA.

James was the sustenance of his dreams.

It is his dream and goal to transcend the Jordan era and lead the NBA beyond other business leagues.

And these dreams and goals are all pinned on James.

But, in the end, what James did broke his heart and made him despair, not only the despair of a broken dream, but also the despair of the future of the NBA.

How many times has he blocked entry into the NBA during his tenure?

He was entangled with the casino, and how many times had he made false promises?

How many years has he been battling with capital?

He knows the NBA is a business league.

He knows the NBA needs capital.

This was built by him.

Of course he knew.

However, he also knows that if the NBA wants to continue to move forward, it also needs an ideal.

Without business and capital, the NBA cannot go far.

With only business and capital, the NBA cannot go far either.

The NBA can make more, but his tenure has not allowed the NBA to make all the money.

This made capital very dissatisfied with him.

James' ideal is gone.

Coupled with capital's dissatisfaction with him, the NBA is on the verge of splitting.

It really doesn't make any sense for him to stay.

He is also old and his health is not good. Future generations will be blessed. He has even finalized his retirement date.

Until, Coach D comes...

His dream was ignited once again.

And Adam Xiao Hua, the crown prince appointed by Capital, became the crown prince for ten thousand years.

He stayed, not to let James regain his original intention.

He stayed, and his only goal was to protect Coach D.

But now, he is really desperate...

When Coach D's efforts to protect the NBA in the past two years were actually taken away by James, he realized how insignificant individuals like himself and Coach D were in the face of capital.

Individuals can never compete with capital.

The only thing that can suppress capital is...

David Stern looked at the flag flying by many Chinese fans at the scene...

Finally, David Stern closed his eyes.

So desperate...

And on the court.

At this time, James, who was hugging Wade, smiled and whispered in Wade's ear.

Dwyane, why did you win the championship before me?

Dwyane, why do you always shine so brightly?

do you know?

If it weren't for you, my life would be better!

Dwyane, it was you who drove me to the end of my rope!

It was you, the championship in 2006, who made me have no way out!

I don't want to be a toy!

No one’s dream in this world is just a toy!

James' eyes were red, and it seemed to the audience that he was about to cry.

Dwyane!

It's you who turned me into a toy, and it's you who made me experience the joy of a toy!

They were playing with my career, my dreams, my spirit, everything.

And now, I am also playing with everything about you!

"James is apologizing to Wade!!!"

The whole world thinks so at this time.

Only Wade knew what James was saying in his ear at this time.

"Dwyane, you will never be able to defeat me, despair, I will be the final winner, and you will always be the loser next to me!"

"Despair, no one can save you!"

James hugged Wade, who was already stunned in front of him.

"Not even Coach D!!!"

At the same time, the whole world was boiling at this moment.

In front of the TV and on the Internet, countless Wade fans and James fans burst into tears.

"James finally apologized to Wade!"

"This is the most touching moment I have ever seen in the NBA!"

"Brothers, we are finally reconciled!"

"Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, let's go together and smash that damn capital, the capital that made LeBron black!"
