Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 424: James with an explosive mentality!

The Lakers' starting lineup in this game can cause such a big sensation, of course because the changes are big enough.

Barkley plays center, and the height difference between him and Big Eyebrow is really too big.

Antetokounmpo plays power forward, and the physical gap between him and Randolph is also extremely huge.

Pierce plays small forward. Can Pierce's speed and rhythm keep up with the Celtics' rhythm?

In this finals, there are many wings with extremely excellent athletic ability on both sides, so the requirements for the athletic ability of wing players are extremely high.

McAway, Antetokounmpo, Ebanks, and even Covington have all played in the starting position, but Pierce has not.

It's not that Popovich can't see clearly Pierce's singles ability. Pierce has excellent stand-up singles ability.

For the Lakers who lack offensive ability, Pierce's stand-up singles ability is very important.

However, just because Pierce's athletic ability is no longer that outstanding, Popovich does not dare to put him on the wing.

For the Lakers, their wings not only need singles ability, but assisting defense and filling in positions may be even more important.

The range of movement and mobility of the thick eyebrows are too large, and the flanks need to fill in frequently.

Randolph's inside men are too weak in singles, and they also need to fill in on the wings.

And Paul's single-point threat to Seth Curry is too great, and he also needs to make up for it.

The focus of these defensive assists is the small forward position.

Even Pierce when he was young and at his peak might not be able to handle such a task, let alone Pierce now.

Therefore, Popovich almost did not use Pierce's approach in the finals. Although Pierce was very injured, he got the support of many experts and celebrities. Even Lakers fans did not feel that Popovich did something wrong.

In the eyes of many neutral fans, viewers and experts, although Popovich was defeated by Miracle Monty in the first five games, there is actually no problem with Popovich's tactics and personnel usage.

No one said Popovich was wrong not to use Pierce or Jokic.

In such a finals, can Pierce use it?

Can Jokic, such a parallel import No. 1 pick, be used?

Of course it cannot be used!

Now, the Lakers' starting lineup is so unlike Popovich, the only possibility is that this starting lineup was not put together by Popovich, but by Coach D!

Leaving Garnett on the bench to catch James, and starting Antetokounmpo, Barkley, and Pierce, it was almost equivalent to letting go of the thick eyebrows, Barkley, and Paul. There is no doubt that this move is all the work of Coach D. shadow!

This is Coach D's most famous and talked about 'star-replenishing tactic'. Although it is radical, it is an extremely effective heart-wrenching tactic for James!

I will let go of your excellent teammates and strangle you to death. Let’s see if you finally side with me!

If you dare to win this game, then the FMVP will definitely not be you!

In the first five games, James's statistics were not that outstanding except for his poor scoring performance.

At the very least, he is definitely not as good as thick eyebrows, and has no advantage over Randolph and Paul.

Even in terms of performance on the court, Randolph and Paul are no worse than James.

And more importantly, James is still a substitute.

At the same time, half of the journalists who voted for FMVP in this year’s finals were international journalists!

These international reporters are difficult to get on the air, and three of them are Chinese reporters.

Coach D's overwhelming methods were all aimed at James.

All the cameras at the scene were also pointed at James.

Even if the Celtics' chemical reaction is incredible, thinking about James' past, the Celtics players on the court can't help but look at James on the bench.

The Lakers' starting lineup tonight was so strange that it really surprised Nong Mei, Randolph and others.

Looking at Barkley in front of him who was 20 centimeters shorter than him, he felt with thick eyebrows, isn't Coach D just letting himself go?

Looking at his old rival Antetokounmpo in front of him, Randolph subconsciously touched his butt. Back then, this kid almost had his butt exploded with a basketball. Old and new hatreds emerged in his heart. Coach D was doing this on purpose. Push yourself!

I deliberately placed my favorite carrot in front of myself, urging myself to move forward crazily!

Otherwise, he would feel sorry for Coach D’s careful arrangements if he didn’t ravage this boy so hard!

Chris Paul also had the same idea at this time.

In this finals against the Lakers, Paul's shooting percentage was extremely high. There was even one game where he hit 100% of his shots. However, the Lakers' wing defense was too strong in the previous game. Although his shooting percentage was high, But he didn't take many shots. After all, he was less than 1 meters, so it was really difficult to attack.

Even if Seth Curry is passed, the help of Antetokounmpo or Ebanks will be there immediately.

In the end, he could only pass the ball, so his hit rate was really high and his shots were really few.

Now, the Lakers' starting wing is replaced by Pierce, and he has to shoot like crazy!

Paul feels that he has a huge advantage in this game and can even make a big news. As long as the big news is successful, this game will end the finals, and then the FMVP will definitely be his!

Doubt James.

Let the big eyebrows, Randolph and Chris Paul all give me a huge advantage. I should break out in this game and become the protagonist of this game.

The Celtics, who have perfect chemistry, will they still have perfect chemistry now?

Popovich can see it now, so he can only describe it as amazed.

This is the coach he has lamented the most, the coach who is the best at playing with people's hearts!

This is what he once lamented, the most evil head coach in the NBA who is even more evil than him!

Of course, Monty Williams also saw it. Compared with Popovich's emotion, Monty Williams is not in a hurry now.

In Monty Williams' view, Coach D is testing the hearts and minds of him and core players such as the Celtics, James, Paul, Big Eyebrow and Randolph.

What about trials?

This move is indeed very powerful, but he believes in his players!

He believes that Paul is not a player who puts himself above the team for FMVP. He does not believe that Paul will grab FMVP for himself and does not care about the team.

Similarly, he also believes in James. He doesn't believe in James now, and he deliberately goes undercover for his opponent for FMVP like he did in 2011.

Just like his coaching philosophy says, as long as you do your best, it doesn't matter what others do. No matter how scheming Coach D is and how dark his tricks are, it doesn't matter.

As long as we have no problems ourselves, no one can defeat us!

Therefore, in the face of Coach D's increasingly clear conspiracy, before the game started, Monty Williams walked to the sidelines and just shouted one sentence to the court.

"Believe in your teammates, and please believe that your teammates will treat you with the same trust!"

With that, Monty Williams applauded the Celtics players on the court.

Chris Paul, who had already had some thoughts in his heart, quickly retracted his thoughts.

The Celtic players who had already had some emotional problems on the court suddenly regained their clarity in an instant.

"This is the amazing Monty. He has the same influence on the Celtics as Coach D on the Lakers!"

Popovich sighed again.

Now most people in the world are laughing at Coach D's formation, and laughing at Coach D for still looking at James with the same eyes.

Coach D will be slapped in the face right away.

Only a super coach like Popovich, or a head coach who understands people's minds, can understand why Monty Williams has such a solemn expression on his face.

Therefore, the game has not started yet, but the general audience and the masters are no longer watching the same game.

The general audience, even the people behind the scenes, are now laughing at Coach D for being driven insane by the powerful pressure of Magical Monty.

But those real masters, experts, and capable coaches all had their eyes flashing with excitement.

"Coach D took action, he was really quick and accurate!"

This is Cole.

His biggest regret this season is that he was not able to play seven games with Coach D.

He knocked Bobo to the ground, and when he was about to stab Bobo to death, Coach D shot him in the head.

He was defeated by Coach D, but... he did not become a rival with Coach D.

"Monty has done really well. Coach D still has no chance so far. Faced with Coach D's offensive, maybe only Monty can do what Monty does."

This is Old Nelson, and all the faces of Old Nelson are full of praise.

Not only praising Du Kang, but also praising Monty Williams.

After all, Monty Williams was his apprentice, too.

Pat Riley and Larry Brown were very excited at this time and felt a deep sense of participation.

Because, Monty Williams is also their apprentice.

Not to mention that Monty Williams is a very special person in the NBA.

He was really open in the NBA, and his connections were so strong that many people ignored him.

Many people simply don't realize why Monty Williams is Coach D's lifelong enemy.

Why was it Monty Williams who staged that shocking rookie battle with Coach D?

In that rookie battle, the masters behind the scenes wanted to beat up Coach D, a rookie who had risen to fame.

And now!

"Monty, you've really grown up!"

Doc Reeves was satisfied.

Monty Williams was with him back then.

Moreover, he admired Monty very much at that time.

Now that Monty can beat his idol Coach D into losing his mind, he is really happy.

However, Rivers didn't notice the disgusted expression on D'Antoni's face at this time.

This pig head has the nerve to be called a famous marshal with us?

Isn't this just an ordinary fan?

Not even to the level of a fan!

It is indeed not easy to understand this game, and he definitely does not ask the audience to understand it, but is Rivers a normal ordinary audience?

It doesn't matter if others can't understand it, it doesn't matter if ordinary head coaches can't understand it, but Rivers must be able to understand it.

Rivers' reputation and resources in the NBA are too many.

Even if he is a pig, if he is given as many resources as Rivers, he should be trained. Can he understand this game?

You have been in the NBA for so many years, but you can't even understand this game. You are worse than a pig's head!

D'Antoni looked away from Rivers in disgust and looked at Monty Williams on the sidelines.

When Monty was under his command, D'Antoni never thought that Monty would have the potential to become the number one coach in NBA history. Now, Coach D takes action!

Now, as long as he can win this game and win the championship.

Then, Monty is the strongest head coach in NBA history!

Game start!

Thick eyebrows and Antetokounmpo jump ball.

In the end, the thick eyebrows gave the Celtics the first opportunity to attack in the game.

Chris Paul received the jump ball and quickly advanced to the frontcourt.

Chris Paul, who has always been steady, decided to pick up the pace at the beginning of the game.

That's what bullied the Lakers in this game with Pierce on the wing.

Paul's golf IQ can be said to be quite high.

And Paul's operation is also quite exciting.

Facing Seth Curry's defense, Chris Paul did not call a pick-and-roll, but stepped back with two consecutive crotch changes, and then bowed again, completely throwing Seth Curry away!

When Seth Curry turned around to defend Paul again, Paul had already reached the free throw line and was already jumping back!

"Wonderful!!! This breakthrough by Chris Paul is so wonderful!!!"

O'Neal wasn't the only one shouting.

Even Seth Curry's brother, Stephen Curry, who was standing next to him, had his eyes widened and almost couldn't help but applaud.

"Chris Paul is still in excellent shape in this game, no, even better than before!!!"

All the Celtics fans were cheering.

Even Lakers fans were exclaiming.

James, who was on the sidelines, felt his heart sink.

Chris Paul wants to compete with him for FMVP! ! !

Pierce's help defense works very hard!

However, if it's a little slower, it's still a little slower. The jump is not as high, but it's still not as high.

In the end, I could only watch as Chris Paul's mid-range shot hit the net!

2 is better than 0!

The Celtics took the lead at the start!

After Paul hit the ball, he opened his hands and pouted his stubborn mouth to celebrate with the Celtics fans at the scene.

For a time, the voice of Celtic fans MVP resounded throughout Qiong Yu!

The Lakers attacked, Seth Curry advanced with the ball, and Chris Paul stepped forward to press.

Paul didn't really want to swallow up Seth Curry or rob him. This was Paul testing the referee's decision to see if he was still blackmailing James and favoring the Lakers.

Paul was not disappointed, the whistle sounded.

Referee, this game is still favoring the Lakers!

"Hahahaha, Chris Paul was told that in this game, they still have an opponent staring at them who is unwilling to be alone, hahahaha..."

Seeing that Paul was not frustrated after being called for a foul, but showed a genuine smile. Many people at the scene laughed, even O'Neal laughed.

At this point in the game, everyone is no longer scolding the referee.

Because everyone knows that the Lakers will not take advantage.

Not even Popovich will take advantage, let alone Coach D!

The Lakers' first attack went to Wade.

Wade broke through Rudy Gay with the ball, and the Celtics quickly shrunk.

Facing a double attack, Wade jumped up and passed the ball to Barkley who cut to the basket.

"Only a few defenders such as Wade and Kobe Jordan can pass the ball out of the gap in such a pinch!"

The Celtics' Jordan Law defense is beautiful, and Wade's passing is even more beautiful!

Barkley, who received Wade's pass under the basket, dunked the basketball into the basket with a bang!

The thick eyebrow is behind him, and the second jump of the thick eyebrow is very fast. If it is Garnett, it will be risky.

However, Barkley, even though he was not that tall, could not take the risk and was half a beat too late!

"Boy, now I'm going to score points on your head. Next, it's your turn!"

After Barkley dunked, he smiled and patted his head while looking at his thick eyebrows.

Can this be tolerated?

Originally, Barkley was so much shorter than him. It would have been a good opportunity for him to vote for Barkley. How could he miss it now!

Celtics offense.

Chris Paul also wants to beat Seth Curry, but the thick eyebrow is very strong in asking for the ball from beyond the three-point line. Considering that the thick eyebrow is the first direct descendant of the amazing Monty, Paul cannot not give the ball, and there is no reason not to give the ball.

Barkley defended closely, and after receiving Paul's pass, Thick Eyebrow moved to the right to break through. Barkley sided with his hind legs, but Thick Eyebrow immediately retreated to outside the three-point line and opened up space with Barkley.

Buckley reacted very quickly.

Pounced out!

However, there is indeed a big difference in height.

There is almost no disruption to thick eyebrows.

The thick eyebrow's three-point shot this time had been planned for a long time and was very determined.

So, soon the fans at the scene heard the sound of basketball brushing the net!

Thick eyebrows stepped back and hit a three-pointer!

5 is better than 2!

Celtics lead by 3 points!

With thick eyebrows and such a height, he actually has such skills and shooting ability!

It’s simply astonishing!

Monty Williams on the sidelines was very happy to see Big Eyebrow hit a three-pointer.

He couldn't help but look at the Lakers' bench.

Unfortunately, I didn’t see Coach D.

What I saw was Popovich.

Coach D, if each of us can implement my philosophy, I will thank you for inspiring the fighting spirit and state of my players!

Bang!

This time Seth Curry, who received Wade's breakthrough pass outside the three-point line, failed to hit a three-pointer.

Randolph under the basket blocked Antetokounmpo who was rushing for the rebound and easily grabbed the rebound!

After grabbing the rebound, Randolph handed the ball to Paul, and then excitedly led Antetokounmpo to the frontcourt.

Since both Paul and thick eyebrows are showing off, now, it’s your turn!

Seeing such excited Randolph, James on the sidelines was smiling. He even stood up excitedly with his teammates to applaud the team, hoping that the Celtics could widen the point difference.

But in his heart, James was really suffering!

Coach D, Farke!

Farke, Coach D!

Farke! Farke! ! Farke! ! !

James is so miserable that he is crying now!

If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have been so arrogant in front of Dwayne! ! !

Now James regrets as much as he regrets for humiliating Wade!

Now, what else can be done?

You can only enjoy Randolph's beating of Antetokounmpo!

then!

There was a bang!

There was a burst of exclamation at the scene!

James immediately looked towards the court, no, towards the big screen!

Randolph elbowed Antetokounmpo in the face!

Antetokounmpo fell to the ground!

Randolph offensive foul!

Looking at Antetokounmpo on the ground, Randolph was stunned!

Although he plays fiercely, he is not a fool, and Antetokounmpo is not short either. How could his elbow hit Antetokounmpo's face!

Farke! ! !

"Referee, this kid bumped my elbow with his face on purpose!!!"

Randolph shouted almost subconsciously!

The referee responded with an idiot look.

Do you think we are fools?

Giannis can predict your elbow, so why should he send his face towards you and fall directly to the ground? Isn't it an offensive foul?

This disgusted look almost made Randolph's mentality explode.

Randolph looked at Antetokounmpo fiercely.

This iconic giggle!

Back then, when his butt was almost exploded by a basketball, he smiled like this!

This kid did it on purpose!

This is a black whistle!

but……

"Zach, it's not necessary. This elbow is really unnecessary."

Teammates are comforting.

Teammates are patting their heads and patting their butts.

The whole world felt that he was avenging his personal revenge!

In fact, it was this kid who was causing trouble, not him! ! !

Randolph's mentality suddenly showed signs of explosion...
