Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 442: The destiny you control!

The Celtics' 15-point lead was gone, which was unacceptable to many people.

Judging from the performance on the court, the Celtics seem to be playing without any problems.

Except for James' crazy background for Seth Curry and Jokic in the past half of the game, there are no problems with the Celtics' style of play on the court and the performance of the players.

However, in the entire half of the game, the Celtics only scored 7 points.

The Lakers scored 22 points!

This kind of performance is not of the same level at all.

Obviously the performance on the court seems to be of the same level between the two teams, but there is such a huge difference in scores?

This is very incredible.

But soon, it wasn't so incredible anymore.

“In less than six minutes, the Lakers took every opportunity, yes, they took every opportunity to score, all the key shots they made, Jokic, Cesc. Here, Kanaan, they hit all the key shots, and the Celtics, we can't say that Chris Paul is not good enough. If we ask him based on the 20+10 player standard, he is very good, his shooting percentage Reaching 50%, his offense is very stable, which is his advantage, and this is also his disadvantage. He does not have such a strong scoring explosive power. When you ask him to use scoring to control the situation like Kobe and Jordan, he There’s no way to do that!”

"Now, I finally understand why Coach D shouted 'rebound' after Chris Paul's shot. From beginning to end, Coach D didn't believe that Chris Paul was a player like Kobe or Jordan!!!"

"Two years ago, Coach D made a judgment on Chris Paul's quality. After defeating the Clippers in the playoffs two years ago, Coach D angrily criticized the Big Three of the Lakers at the time. Now two years later, Coach D What I said angrily against them back then is still so correct!”

"The first six minutes of the third quarter were a conspiracy by Coach D. He deliberately put Chris Paul in a sweet jar. In fact, this was a huge trap. The Lakers' on-court lineup could not Players who defend Paul allow Paul to score with good efficiency. However, Paul's scoring ability will never be able to kill the Los Angeles Lakers! This is a trap. In this sweet trap, before Chris Paul made the shot just now, He still maintains strong self-confidence and ambition, but now, these ambitions and self-confidence are all deliberately forged by Coach D!"

The advantage is that the players will burst out with extraordinary fighting capacity for you and the team.

Barkley, a guy who likes to cause trouble, actually took the initiative to pass a towel to Jokic. Looking at the playful and flattering smile on Barkley's face, all the Lakers players around him laughed.

Among all the coaches in the entire NBA, I am afraid that only he and Miracle Monty are such head coaches.

He likes to say outside that he is the nanny of the players and it is the players who take him flying.

Du Kang used the lineup on the court to give Paul false confidence.

The happiest among them is Seth Curry.

How long can Monty Williams tolerate it? The final result was more than 5 minutes. It was not until the official timeout came that Monty Williams chose to call a timeout.

This time is actually the strength of the magical bond between Monty and Paul and the Celtics players.

"Teacher Huahua, according to what you said, Coach Xiao Du will kill the enemy 1000 and lose 500 to himself. Coach Xiao Du thinks that your Grandpa St. Paul will kill him 500, but he can kill the Celtics 1000!"

I have to say that Miracle Monty, his lifelong enemy, is indeed powerful.

"Coach D couldn't beat Miracle Monty. Miracle Monty was never fooled by Coach D's conspiracy. However, Chris Paul was fooled. He fell into the trap of attacking with Seth Curry and Jokic. In the end, He lost, lost to Seth Curry and Jokic, and he lost miserably!"

This means that the signal sent by Monty Williams is that he is telling Paul and all the Celtics players that there is no problem with their playing style and that he does not need to adjust or change their playing style in advance. .

In the past games, Yang Huahua was crazily bragging about his Grandpa St. Paul. In fact, Paul's performance was worthy of bragging. Paul's performance at that time was really perfect.

After analysis, all the experts were stunned.

Like himself, he is a head coach who has 100% trust in his players.

15 points behind the amazing Monty, it really only took half a quarter to tie!

And the method is still the same!

This is a direct hit on Miracle Monty. Don’t you have a deep bond with your players?

And Monty Williams also liked to say this.

You can't say it's bad. He can score good points with a 50% shooting rate. However, in half a quarter, the team only scored 7 points. This is definitely unqualified.

And Paul eventually helped him trick Fantastic Monty.

The disadvantage is that you can't treat players as tools. You need to consider the player's situation and mood.

And Jokic, a very special player in the Lakers, has been recognized by the whole team with his performance in the past half of the game.

As long as his scoring ability at critical moments is not tested, Paul is indeed one of the perfect point guard candidates.

After Paul gave up the team's organization for personal scoring, he was actually unable to take on the responsibility of scoring points for the whole team.

Everyone on the Lakers bench was very happy because they caught up the score.

As long as there are no external forces, the Lakers will definitely win this game.

Therefore, Du Kang said at halftime that the Lakers only had 3-5 minutes in the third quarter.

Du Kang confused Paul.

Now, Du Kang is convinced that Miracle Monty is really just like him and has a very unusual bond with his players.

Having this special bond with the players is a good thing, but of course there are also disadvantages.

But now, it's really hard to say.

At first, Du Kang always felt that Magical Monty was mocking him.

However, in the third quarter, Du Kang chose to deliberately test Paul's scoring ability at critical moments, which made Paul somewhat exposed.

Du Kang knows very well what kind of head coach Magic Monty is.

The game entered the official timeout in the third quarter.

Du Kang has always found it interesting.

Seeing the almost perfect atmosphere on the Lakers bench at this time, Popovich looked shocked.

If in the Lakers, Antetokounmpo wants to prove his independent offensive ability on the court, even if doing so will hurt the team, Du Kang feels that he is still willing to let Antetokounmpo prove himself.

With the shock wave the Lakers played in the past half quarter, coupled with Du Kang's special psychological attack and humiliation on the two core players Paul and James, the average head coach can no longer hold back the scene. Paul There is a high probability that something will go wrong with James' mentality.

At this time, commentators from various countries and experts from various TV stations were frantically explaining and analyzing the first half of the third quarter.

However, in terms of scoring ability at critical moments, Paul is indeed not that explosive at this point.

Seth Curry's performance in the past half of the game has wiped away the haze he had in this year's Finals.

Aren't you not fooled?

If you don't fall for it, then your players will also be saints who won't fall for it, right?

It is not just the coach who determines the outcome of a basketball game, but also the players and of course the referee.

Since there is no office to defeat Miracle Monty, it is also possible to defeat Miracle Monty's players.

There is still such a train of thought!

You can still play like this when coaching a game!

Now Popovich's operation on Du Kang can only be described as amazing. It is very simple to say, but too difficult to do.

At the very least, he might not dare to create a trap for Paul.

This is Paul!

This is Paul who performed exceptionally well earlier!

How dare Coach D set such a trap for Paul?

I’m really not afraid of being beaten to death by Paul!

It is said that the quality of a famous coach depends on his gambling ability. There is no doubt that Coach D's quality is definitely the highest.

Perhaps at this time, only Du Kang in the entire NBA dared to make such a bet. Although it was almost difficult for him to defeat Miracle Monty in simulated games, and it was also difficult for the Celtics to defeat him, Paul's explosive scoring has always been stable.

This is why Du Kang dared to use such a trap.

Compared with the jubilant Lakers bench, the Celtics' bench was a little dull.

"The 15-point lead was tied. This is my responsibility. I didn't realize that Coach D was using Garnett as a containment, and the main attacker was Jokic. This is my problem."

The 15-point lead was erased in less than half a quarter.

Celtics players are already waiting for Monty Williams' hair dryer.

Especially Paul and James, who were selfish on the court, were even more worried.

However, unexpectedly, Monty Williams did not turn on the hair dryer.

Not only did he not turn on the hair dryer, but he directly took the responsibility!

And it’s still this kind of ambiguous responsibility that I don’t know how to describe!

Jokic is the main attacking point. Is this Coach D’s intention?

Not necessarily.

If the Lakers don't focus on killing Garnett, I'm afraid Garnett will be the main offensive point.

The reason why Jokic became the main attacker in the positional offense in the past six minutes is probably not Coach D's strategy, but someone's defense that made Jokic the main attacker.

In the past half of the game, Paul took on the team's main offensive duties without causing any objections from the Celtics players. Coach D is on such a lineup. Anyone who is Paul can attack and should attack.

Moreover, Paul did not attack from the beginning. Instead, he began to cooperate with James and Big Eyebrow, and only attacked after his touch was open.

On the surface, Paul is really playing without any problems.

The key three-pointer was not scored, and in the end the Lakers counterattacked again.

On the surface, the real problem is James' defense and offense.

When James covered Paul on the offensive end, he was not able to block Ebanks 100%.

When James was on defense, he was humiliated time and again by Jokic in terms of his golf IQ, and was beaten by Seth Curry again and again, and was beaten three plus one.

Just like the 2011 Finals, when you first saw James being beaten by Barea, did you not believe it was true? Do you also think James was undercover? James is so tall and strong, and his body How could he not be able to beat Barea, who has the worst physical talent in the NBA, despite boasting so loudly about his talent? !

No matter how you look at it, this looks like the behavior of an undercover agent, a deliberate undercover behavior!

And now, you James has always claimed to be the player with the highest basketball intelligence in the NBA. Your opponent is Jokic, the league's recognized parallel import number one pick. Ever since Jokic has been hitting on the court and saying some inexplicable words off the court. Look, this guy doesn't look like a very smart player at first glance.

Faced with such a player, you actually turned him into another Yao Ming. What are you going to do?

James cut ties with the capital behind him and expressed his willingness to sacrifice everything for the Celtics. Celtics players and fans support James from top to bottom.

In the past, Celtics players and fans would have already started booing James crazily.

Even though the Celtics players now support James very much, they still have opinions on James.

After coming off the court, almost no one hugged James.

As for James himself, although he knew that he had been tricked by Paul, he was also prepared to be hair-dryered by the magical Monty.

But James himself didn't even think of it.

Miraculous Monty actually took the initiative to take over his responsibilities!

It wasn't because of his defensive problems that Jokic broke out.

It was because there was a problem with Miracle Monty's coaching and his failure to judge Coach D's intentions that Jokic finally broke out.

You see, after saying this, the pressure on James disappeared instantly.

James himself breathed a sigh of relief.

It's really different now than it was with the Heat.

Now, he really wants the Celtics to win, and only the Celtics can win!

In this game, his statistics are really good!

In addition, Paul's reputation was directly ruined by Coach D. He could only pass the ball and rely on his teammates. He was unable to lead the team to victory. His reputation was damaged. In addition, Paul was able to suppress the ball in this game with thick eyebrows. Therefore, as long as he can Win the game. In this game, he is 100% MVP!

Now, he wants to win this game more than anyone else in the world.

He certainly hopes that the entire Celtics are united at this time.

Miracle Monty takes the initiative to take responsibility in this way, hoping that the entire Celtics will remain consistent.

"The score is just a tie now, it's just a restart. How we led by 15 points before, we can do it again."

James secretly looked at the Celtics head coach at this time.

He was still so calm, as if nothing had happened in the past half quarter.

Seeing the smile on his face, as a player of his, you want to believe that the game is still under control.

Even James himself felt quite calm at this time.

Of course, many people next to David Stern on the sidelines were nervous at this time.

Worries about gains and losses, tension, fear, and various emotions are constantly intertwined.

"We need to take action now!"

"Wait, wait, believe in Amazing Monty, we can still believe in Amazing Monty!!!"

"Since Miracle Monty can defeat Coach D once, he can defeat Coach D a second time!"

The pause ends.

Players from both sides take the field again.

For the Lakers, the lineup has not changed.

As for the Celtics...

"Oh my God!!! It's amazing that Monty actually brought Jeff Green up at this time and replaced Guy. Jeff Green, who has been on the bench for half a quarter, will he still be that magical?! !!”

"If I were Coach D, I would take Jeff Green at the beginning of the third quarter. It's too late now. The situation and momentum of the game are all on the Lakers' side!!!"

The use of Jeff Green is a very controversial topic.

O'Neill felt it was too late now.

However, the words just fell.

On the court, Jeff Green received a pass from Chris Paul from outside the 45-point line on the left side. Without adjusting, he hit the three-pointer against Kanan's defense!

The audience in front of the TV can clearly feel that O'Neal's face must be in pain now!

But, after a moment!

O'Neal's crazy shout came again!

"It's amazing. Jeff Green in this game is amazing. The amazing Monty in this game is amazing!!!"

"75 to 72, the Celtics once again lead by 3 points, and the pressure is once again on the Lakers' side!!!"

"Right now, there is still no Barkley or Wade on the Lakers court. Coach D should have replaced Wade and Barkley during this timeout!!!"

"Now, the Lakers need a stable offense, and Jokic, Seth Curry and Kanan, they cannot provide stable offensive capabilities!!!"

The same words just fell out.

On the court, Jokic and Seth Curry were in a pick-and-roll, and Jokic actually blocked James and Paul in front of him! ! !

Seth Curry hid behind Jokic, received a pass from behind Jokic's head, took two steps outside the three-point line, and tiptoed to shoot!

There was a brushing sound!

hit!

"OhMyGod!!! This can all come in!!!"

O'Neal cried out in pain, his face full of shock.

The Lakers fans at the scene cheered excitedly after Seth Curry hit this incredible pick-and-roll three-pointer.

At this time, Seth Curry, Dell Curry, Curry's sister, Curry's wife, Curry's mother, and all the Curry family players on the sidelines were all shouting excitedly.

Especially Stephen Curry, the front row spectator, was so excited that he rushed into the court to celebrate with Seth Curry.

"Incredible cooperation. The cooperation between Jokic and Seth Curry is so wonderful. Coach D used Jokic to activate Seth Curry!!!"

"In this game, Monty magically activated Jeff Green, while Coach D used Jokic to activate Seth Curry!!!"

“What an incredible game this is!!!!”

"This is the most exciting game for the audience!!!"

For the spectators, this is the most exciting game.

However, for some people, this kind of uncontrolled competition is definitely their nightmare!

What they need is a game where the result can be seen at a glance.

But this game is obviously not the case!

"Magical Monty can't defeat Coach D!"

"Can't wait, can't wait any longer, Coach D must lose this game!!!"

“We need to take control of our own destiny!!!”
