Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 441 James, the strongest background board!

Humiliated!

James was humiliated again by rookie No. 1 pick Jokic!

Moreover, in the duel between golfers, Jokic was directly defeated by his golfers!

What James is most proud of after entering the NBA is actually not his physical fitness.

In the United States, James is definitely not the only player with explosive physical fitness.

But in the end, James became the representative of explosive talent. The chosen one will definitely not just be his physical talent.

Compared with James' physical talent, his golf intelligence is also talked about. It is precisely because he has such a superb golf intelligence that Hook placed heavy bets on James after Jordan left the NBA. .

With such outstanding athletic ability and top-notch golf intelligence, James cannot fail. Coupled with their operations and James' technical progress, James has a chance to surpass Jordan.

In fact, from James's early personality, he continued to express his love for Cleveland and insisted that he would not leave. It can be seen that James and the power behind him initially hoped that James would take the route of Jordan.

David Stern also supports this, so although James in the first period is not a little emperor in terms of strength on the court, in terms of treatment, he is definitely the little emperor of the entire NBA.

Regardless of the capital behind the scenes or David Stern, James, the little emperor of the NBA, is almost pampered to the point of doting.

Golf intelligence and talent are the two pillars that he believes can compete with Jordan and Kobe.

This doting has led to a bunch of victims in the NBA, such as Anthony.

This kind of contrast can be called the figure of James and Barea back then. Who the hell would have thought that James would not even dare to fight Barea?

Before Jokic's three-pointer, who would have thought that Jokic's golf intelligence could humiliate James like this!

Even though Jokic had defeated James several times in golf competitions before this game, no one thought that James would be so humiliated!

Coupled with the fact that his request to regain the field was rejected by Paul, James realized that he was no longer the owner of this team. He was just a thief who was attached to the team and secretly doing things.

After Jokic humiliated James so much, all Lakers players actually felt that Chris Paul would support James in finding Jokic to regain his place.

If you are a head coach, it is actually hard not to like a point guard like Paul.

After all, Paul and James have such a strong relationship.

Who would have thought that Paul actually used his good brother James as a consumable.

After 2011, even the capital behind him did not praise his unprecedented physical talent, but instead praised his golf intelligence, team and advanced statistics.

No matter how awesome you brag about your physical fitness, if you can't even beat Barea in a singles match, then you're still bragging!

Barea single-handedly defeated the Chosen One and crippled James' leg of public opinion.

Life in this career is really as comfortable as you want it to be.

However, although these crises embarrassed him, they basically did not cause him to have self-doubt.

The failure in the 2011 Finals made him work hard all summer, and his shooting ability slowly improved.

What made James' mentality even more explosive was that without his offensive participation, Chris Paul scored again!

"Shoting!!! Chris-Paul!!!!"

"Chris Paul used his skills, strength and confrontation to tell Seth Curry who is the strongest point guard in the NBA this season!!!"

The NBA's overwhelming high-level statistics in the past few years all started after the 2011 Finals.

"Chris Paul didn't call a pick-and-roll. Chris Paul ignored James' request for a pick-and-roll, pushed away Seth Curry, and hit a three-pointer from the top three-point line!!!"

But this time, being humiliated by Jokic with such intelligence is definitely comparable to being humiliated by Barea in the 2011 Finals.

"65 to 72, the Celtics once again opened up a 7-point gap!!!"

It can only be said that Chris Paul is indeed a player that golfers highly recommend.

Then after winning the championship in 2012, after the crisis was over, he started lazily playing around with his character, calling him "King, King, King" every day.

After so many years, James has the NBA's top physical fitness, top golf intelligence, and top godfather treatment, so James simply needs technical progress.

Even if he is being beaten crazily by Coach D, even Coach D has to admit that he is the most physically gifted player in the NBA. His golf IQ is top-notch. He can use the rules to beat Oden and the super defenders opposite him to applause. .

There are no shortcomings except height.

The Lakers' defense was all on James. Unexpectedly, Chris Paul took the opportunity to take advantage of Seth Curry.

He is more talented than Kobe, and his golf intelligence is better than Jordan and Kobe. He always feels that why can't he surpass Jordan and Kobe?

However, Barea in 2011 left a crack in his talented invincible heart that can never be healed.

There is no sense of crisis at all.

And just now, James 'passed' to Jokic, allowing Jokic to hit a three-pointer. That was definitely the ultimate humiliation for James' golf quotient.

With such two powerful fathers protecting him, one can imagine how bad James's expected technical growth was.

Compared with Jokic, the rookie parallel-imported No. 1 pick, James' golf IQ was so scorned in a direct confrontation.

If you're in the mood, just practice, if you're not in the mood, just play, just to promote and develop your character.

Until Du Kang came to the NBA and beat him and his godfather for two consecutive years.

Only then did he feel the crisis again.

If it weren't for the 2011 Finals, he would never have had a sense of crisis in his career.

Paul ignored James' request for revenge and chose to play Seth Curry alone. This choice was very successful.

After Paul pushed Seth Curry away, he made some adjustments. After adjusting the shot, Ebanks' help came over.

The round in which he failed to beat Barea from behind made people laugh at his top-notch physical talent. After the intensity of the game increased, it had no meaning at all. It made everyone realize that compared with technology, the role of explosive physical fitness is not unimportant. , but for a truly powerful player, the most critical basketball skill is always basketball skill.

It's arguably too late.

This made James' mentality explode in that moment.

Watching Chris Paul open his arms to the amazing Monty on the sidelines to thank the celebrating Chris Paul after hitting a three-pointer on the sidelines, Du Kang on the sidelines wanted to applaud the Celtics point guard.

From 2003 to now, it has been 12 years since he entered the league. James can't even understand the steps to break through and control the ball. His back-up steps under the basket sometimes even fail to hit Barea, and James is slightly under the basket. A little confrontation, as long as there is no whistle, James will always make some ridiculous moves for you when you watch James play from behind.

Well, if you don't like Paul, you can also say that no matter how many advantages he has, if he is disabled by his height, he is still disabled.

This wave of treating James as a defensive consumable really opened Du Kang's eyes. Although he is tall, his ambition is quite strong.

In fact, it was not only Du Kang who was a little shocked by Paul's back stabbing of James, but Wade next to Du Kang was also shocked.

This is the former Banana Boat Brothers.

Wade feels more and more like an idiot back then.

Of the three banana boat brothers, he was the only one who took it seriously.

On the court, Paul's strong three-point response made the Celtics fans and celebrities at the scene feel a little relieved.

Paul's three-pointer is indeed very hard.

At the same time, if Paul wants to win the FMVP in this finals, he really needs such a hard performance.

"Chris Paul's touch is back. Seth Curry's one-on-one defense against Paul has always been problematic. Will Coach D ask for a timeout? The game continues. Coach D does not pause. The game continues!"

On the court, the game continues.

Monty Williams, who was celebrating with Paul on the sidelines, looked at Du Kang next to him.

Coach D really didn't seem to care about Chris' three-pointer.

As a head coach who considers himself a nanny, he actually likes stars to use their own initiative. This is why he believed in Paul and the Celtics players so much just now.

He didn't think he could find a way to deal with Coach D's counterattack after the timeout.

He didn't think he had such ability. Since Paul and the others thought they were okay, then of course he had to give them more confidence.

Paul was touched to be so trusted by Monty Williams, and eventually repaid Monty Williams' trust.

So, now even a blind person can see that Chris Paul is in good shape.

And when Chris Paul faced the Lakers, a group of big and small players, he was really awesome.

Seth Curry, Canaan, Ebanks, Garnett, Jokic, no one can guard Chris Paul.

Chris Paul can be said to be a different kind of person who was let go.

Therefore, many expert commentators believe that Du Kang will take this opportunity to make substitutions and bring in Wade or McAway.

Even Popovich next to him had this idea.

Unexpectedly, Du Kang still insisted on such a lineup.

It seems that such an offense can only rely on gambling, and the defense cannot guard Paul's lineup at all.

Therefore, O'Neal in the commentary box on the sidelines really couldn't understand it at all.

"I can't imagine what Coach D is thinking right now. Yes, it's completely unimaginable. He doesn't think Jokic can succeed against James alone, right? As long as the Celtics don't give the Lakers a chance to counterattack, I don't see it at all. I understand why Coach D didn’t call a timeout at this time!”

At this moment, the Lakers player on the court once again hit the ball into Jokic's hands.

This time it was not Jokic who was positioned to receive the ball. Taking into account the passing abilities of Seth Curry and Canaan, as well as the height of James, Jokic passed the ball to Seth Curry from outside the three-point line. Pass the ball.

A center, and a center who looked a little tall, but was actually not that tall, caught the ball. This made Paul, who had done a very good offense just now, subconsciously want to double-team James to steal Jokic.

Just like Wade and James flanked Yao Ming in last year's finals.

Jokic is not as tall as Yao Ming.

And Jokic didn't raise his hands, he just held the ball with one hand, blocking James.

With such movements and postures, you may say that it's okay to look cool, but from Paul's perspective, this is to dress yourself up in front of a strong man. Isn't this an itchy thing? Don't you want to suffer from it?

Paul is not a reckless man. Although he knows that Jokic's current movements are very suitable for stealing, he does not dare to let go considering the Seth Curry he is chasing.

So when he was covering Jokic, he made a look with James, and Paul's knee hit the side of Jokic's calf.

This is to make Jokic suffer the pain of dropping the ball. Even if he doesn't drop the ball, he will be frightened and take the ball back immediately. The moment Jokic takes the ball back, Paul can steal the ball!

"Jokic is going to drop the ball?!!!"

Although Paul had a lot on his mind this time on defense, the game was electric.

After Paul completed all these operations, the audience in front of the TV and the Lakers audience on the sidelines had no idea what was happening.

All I know is that Jokic, who was looking cool with the ball in one hand, seemed to be unsteady and about to drop the ball.

Seeing this scene, James and Paul prepared to steal almost immediately.

then!

A shocking scene happened.

Jokic, who was stumbling and about to fall to the ground, actually passed the basketball in his hand with a pass from behind as he landed!

Moreover, Jokic fell to the ground and just stuck Paul.

This is?

coincidence?

Paul was shocked, but he knew he couldn't be shocked at this time.

"LeBron!!!"

Paul's shout stunned James.

This piece of shit guy made me take the blame again! ! !

You just asked me to cooperate with you in attacking Jokic. Now you ask me to chase Seth Curry. Can I catch up? !

Even if I am the chosen one, I am still a human being, not a god!

However, James simply couldn't stand still with his hands on his hips, no matter how bad his mood was now.

He could only pounce on Seth Curry who was outside the 45-degree three-point line on the left.

By the time he pounced, Seth Curry had already taken action.

In the end, James just tackled Seth Curry.

It doesn't affect Seth Curry's shot.

There was a brushing sound!

Three point hit! And the referee Foster next to him raised the three-point foul gesture without any hesitation.

This is not only a three-pointer, but also 3+1!

Seth Curry struggled very much in the first half, but in the second half, he hit consecutive three-pointers. Before, it was a counterattack three-pointer, and now it is a 3+1 that looks very Diaw. This three-pointer hit Afterwards, Seth Curry, who had been suffocating for this game, finally vented his anger.

Seth Curry didn't ask his teammates to help him up at all.

Instead, he suddenly got up and rushed towards Du Kang on the sidelines.

Seeing Seth Curry hugging Du Kang tightly, teacher Zhang Lili's eyes in the commentary box on the sidelines turned red.

"Now who dares to say that Coach Xiao Du is not as good as the amazing Monty?!"

"Amazing Monty lit up Jeff Green, and our coach Durant lit up Seth Curry!!!"

"Incredible cooperation, Jokic made an incredible pass to the ground. I can't imagine any center who can pass the ball so accurately in this situation. Coach D has trained us a top organization center. , and he is a completely different organizational center from Yao!!!"

After Seth Curry celebrated passionately, he made an extra free throw.

Four points scored successfully.

At this time, the score on the court became 69 to 72!

The difference between the two sides is only 3 points!

Three points, this pressure is great!

If four points is the difference between two goals, then three points is the difference between one goal.

Seeing this score on the scoreboard, all the commentators on the sidelines became excited.

The Lakers fans on the sidelines were also excited and stood up.

"Defense!"

"Defense!!"

"Defense!!!"

Hearing the explosive shouts from the Lakers fans at the scene, O'Neal and many Lakers celebrities on the sidelines were stunned.

“I actually got to see such incredible cheers one day at Staples!!!”

"The Lakers fans in this game, I would like to regard them as one of the greatest fans in the NBA!!!"

This moment is definitely the most critical moment of a game.

The whole world is watching the two teams of players on the court.

Mainly because the world is watching Chris Paul.

Chris Paul was the best Celtics player in this game, plus he just defeated Seth Curry strongly.

Now, everyone is staring at him.

Chris Paul also knows that this is his moment.

As long as the goal is scored and the game is won, then he is safe!

"This round is the most critical round in this series!"

"This round is also the most critical round in Chris Paul's career!"

"The quality of Chris Paul's career will all be determined by this round!!!"

"Oh my God, there was no switch, and Coach D on the sidelines actually continued to let Seth Curry guard Chris Paul alone!!!"

Everyone was looking forward to Chris Paul's singles, but Du Kang actually used Seth Curry to defend alone! ! !

“This is incredible, Coach D’s choice is incredible!!!”

Of course, Du Kang will not just let Seth Curry guard Paul alone. This is actually no different from what he sent.

Du Kang certainly knows this, so the Lakers' overall defense is a bit forward, and Ebanks is almost stepping on the free throw line.

This position almost tells Paul that you can hit Seth Curry casually from outside the three-point line.

But once you reach the three-point line, don't even think about it.

Does Chris Paul get it?

Of course I understand!

So, he didn't hesitate at all!

Defeat Seth Curry again!

It is impossible for a person to turn over twice in the same ditch. Although Seth Curry, who was well prepared, was pushed away, Paul's shots were very slow, especially the three-point shots. He was used to adjustments and fake moves.

Seth Curry posted it again.

After failing to push away, Paul began to use fake moves to shake Seth Curry away.

Fake shot!

Fake shot!

Fake shot!

Seth Curry didn't move even after he faked three-pointers!

On the fourth, Chris Paul finally jumped!

Take off!

Lean back!

Shot!

And Seth Curry under Paul still didn't move!

"It's over, Seth Curry's defense is so bad!!!"

After watching Paul's attack, many Chinese fans in front of the TV were heartbroken.

Although Seth Curry doesn't seem to have been fouled, you can still interfere a little bit by stepping forward a little bit!

Although Paul's shot was difficult, superstars, super giants, such as Kobe and Jordan, at such moments, such a ball is almost guaranteed to be scored! ! !

"Rebound!!!"

What the hell? ! ! !

Backboard? !

In the sudden silence of Staples, this Chinese shout was so familiar to Chinese fans!

Xiao Du, coach! ! !

Does our coach Xiaodu think that Chris Paul’s offense, which has transformed his career, will not make it? !

It’s not just Chinese fans who are shocked.

After Du Kang shouted, other spectators at the scene were also shocked.

“Coach D’s micromanagement appears again!!!”

“Coach D’s prophecy of micro-management coaching appears again!!!”

Monty Williams next to him looked at Du Kang in shock.

Popovich, who was behind Du Kang, looked at Du Kang in shock.

At this time, Seth Curry on the court had already rushed out like an arrow!

I believe in the coach!

If there really is a god in this world, then this god must be the coach! ! !

Even he felt that Paul's shot just now had a high probability of being successful.

If he wants to be a true superstar, he will never lose that ball.

however!

There was a clang!

Ironclad! !

Jokic easily picked up this backcourt rebound under Garnett's position.

then!

All the Celtic players recovered from the shock and ran forward crazily!

But, it's too late!

Jokic's pass is too fast and too accurate!

Once again, I received a pass from Jokic and could make a pass without adjusting!

Although this is not the first time, Seth Curry is still very shocked!

Also shocked was James.

Although Paul was madly backstabbing, James knew that this game was his last hope. He would not fail to work hard, and he would give everything for this game.

Now, he has given everything.

However, Seth Curry, who was getting closer and closer, and who could help defend him, moved away from him again!

Tiptoe!

Push!

Seth Curry, who was one step beyond the three-point line, directly caught the ball and pushed the ball without dribbling!

Stephen Curry, who was already standing on the sidelines, had his fists clenched tightly at this time, ready to raise his hands and shout at any time.

This rhythm is so perfect!

This is the perfect rhythm for a shooter! ! !

James flew out behind him!

Sheng Kai's right hand did not touch the basketball in the end!

Looking at the basketball far away, James felt despair in his heart!

Jokic! ! !

It's you again, Jokic! ! !

If Jokic's pass was slightly missed, he could directly block Seth Curry's shot! ! !

but!

There was a brushing sound!

He once again became the backdrop!

72 is better than 72!

With the Los Angeles Lakers trailing by 15 points, it only took half a quarter to tie the score! ! !

"Shooting!!! Three-pointer!!! Seth Curry!!! It's a tie, and the Lakers' counterattack three-pointer brought the score back to the same starting line!!!"

"It's James again!!! Oh my god!! What a bad luck, it's James again!!! Congratulations to James for defeating Tim Duncan and putting up the strongest backdrop in NBA history!!!"

"Incredible reversal, incredible Coach D, amazing Monty timeout, Coach D stopping amazing Monty!!!"

At this time, I don’t know how many people were shocked.

At this time, countless people began to tremble again...

On the court, James' hands were shaking, seeing the victory that was about to come...

Chris Paul's hands were also shaking on the court, and confusion flashed in his eyes. Why didn't he score? At the critical moment, why...

just now……

"The game has finally begun..."

He knows that from now on, the game really begins.

The challenge has just begun.

Afraid?

Looking at Jokic, Seth Curry, Garnett, Kanan and Ebanks who are high-fiving each other on the court.

Looking at the crazy excited Wade, Antetokounmpo, Pierce, McAway and others around him.

Du Kang smiled.

he does not know.

He didn't know what the final result would be.

But he knew that he couldn't lose this game!

In the TNT commentary box, O'Neal was still shouting loudly.

"Coach D laughed!!! Coach D laughed again!!!"

"The war between the strongest head coaches in NBA history is still not over!!!"
