Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 461 Invincible or a joke? !
After Du Kang called for the Bobcats' press conference on June 6, he returned to the Bobcats' training facility without stopping.

The season was long over at this point, and as a Bobcats team that had not made the playoffs, the players had already left.

But this time at the Bobcats training facility, Du Kang saw most of the Bobcats players.

Whether they are players who have contracts with the Bobcats or players who no longer have contracts with the Bobcats, Du Kang has seen them all.

It can be seen that no Bobcats player dared to take advantage of Du Kang, the team's new head coach, so much so that the Bobcats' boss, Kemba Walker, who went to the Pacific Islands for vacation after the season, ran back to Xiamen overnight. Lot.

Just kidding, this is Coach D. The biggest difference between Coach D and ordinary NBA head coaches is that Coach D doesn’t care about the level of the players at all. No star player or superstar player has any cards in front of Coach D.

Coach D has the ability to turn a rookie trash player into an All-Star, a superstar, and even an MVP candidate.

Players like Antetokounmpo and Ebanks can be turned into All-Stars by Coach D.

Seth Curry almost became the regular season MVP last season.

Therefore, as long as Coach D likes you, even if you are just a role player and you don't have that strong talent, you will have a future that can change your destiny.

A mere Seth Curry almost won the MVP in his rookie season. How incredible is this?
Tony Parker, although he is 33 years old now and will be 34 next season, is considered a veteran, but no matter how old he is, can he be worse than Seth Curry who was almost in his rookie season?

In Leonard's mind, Parker, an old guy, didn't even think about what kind of thing he was, and he dared to dream about such things.

If you don't really see hope, playing for Coach D as a legend in the history of the Spurs is really stressful.

This is why he doesn't want Leonard to have the say in the Spurs.

And do the Bobcats have these three types of players that Coach D likes?
Not only are there, but there are quite a few.

For example, Ebanks and Antetokounmpo.

Even Duncan and Manu have regarded Parker as the core of the team to support Parker, but Leonard will not give in at all.

Parker wants to win the regular season MVP, and he dreams of it.

However, considering the strength of the Spurs in those years, James' reputation as the eldest sister, and the Lakers' superstars being injured one after another, Parker does have a certain chance as long as he has the support of the Spurs.

Such an ideal can no longer be realized with Popovich, or even with any coach in the world.

But he still wanted to give it one last try.

After Du Kang announced that he had come to the team, Parker always showed his leadership side on the training ground. The Bobcats players he dismissed last season are now like big brothers, perfectly putting their best foot forward. The good side was revealed.

So what kind of players does Coach D like?
Anyone who knows Coach D knows that what Coach D likes most are those old and mature All-Star men.

The premise is that Coach D likes it.

Such ambition is almost like a dream, and he actually knows that it is like a dream.

In Renner's heart, Parker also hindered his way.

Without the MVP, Tony Parker would be just an ordinary All-Star player in the NBA, not even qualified for historical status.

After Westbrook, Coach D's favorite players are forward players who have long arms and legs, can run very fast, jump very high, and have outstanding talent.

Parker still has unfulfilled wishes and ambitions.

Parker's hope is that Seth Curry almost won the MVP last season.

It can also be seen from this that the conflict between him and Leonard is actually an irreconcilable conflict.

And what is Parker's hope?
It may feel incredible to say it.

In addition, what Coach D likes most is a genius like Westbrook. This is what Coach D himself said constantly when facing the media. His favorite player is not Kobe, Jordan, McGrady, Yao Ming and Ivor. Sen, but Westbrook.

In the history of the NBA, without an MVP, he can only appear as the P in GDP. He likes GDP, but he also wants to pass the ball independently and become one of the greatest point guards in NBA history.

If it were Leonard and Stephen Jackson who saw such a scene from Parker, they would probably be shocked.

In the end, because of Coach D's rescue, they all reached a height that they had never dreamed of.

Although Tony Parker often takes salary cuts in the Spurs, he really has no shortage of money, women, and fame.

In Parker's mind, Leonard stood in his way.

Might as well retire with Duncan and Manu.

Because of Parker's ambition, Leonard will never be able to take over. No matter how fair Duncan and Manu are, they will definitely support Parker with gritted teeth.

In the 11-12 season, Parker ranked fifth in MVP and ranked sixth in the 12-13 season.

Parker now wants to play on Dukan's team.

If you were Parker, wouldn't you want MVP.

Manu does not have such ambitions, but he does, because he once had an FMVP. As long as he can win the MVP, his career will reach a new level.

If Leonard is given up, what's the point of his career?

Coach D treated him that way back then. When he left the Spurs, the Spurs were split up, GDP was separated, and Popovich left. 99% of the credit goes to Coach D.

Before they met Coach D, they were all physically unskilled men. Their future in the NBA was dark. In fact, it was already dark for someone like Ebanks.

For example, the elderly All-Star player Tony Parker is. Especially after Coach D announced that he was coming to the Bobcats, Parker can be said to be the most enthusiastic player of the Bobcats. After being traded to the Bobcats last season, Parker simply didn't bother to join this team. The leader leads this team forward.

But Leonard rose in the 13-14 season and did not give up to Parker at all.

Parker wants to tell Kawhi Leonard that viper, how good he is, and what a mistake he made for daring to disobey him in the Spurs.

The person ranked ahead of Parker in the past two years has been Kobe.

It would definitely be wrong to put all the problems on Leonard.

Parker had a big problem facing double teams. The Thunder lost to the Western Conference Finals that year mainly because Parker performed poorly when faced with double teams.

You can't handle double-teaming on your own, and in the end it's Leonard who takes the lead. Of course, Parker himself has big problems.

Sometimes a player's ambition and strength do not match, but this will never make the player feel that he is not good enough.

From the inside, Bogut really feels that he can compare to Duncan.

Parker is now working hard for his ideals.

He worked hard to reshape his influence in the Bobcats community, and worked hard to persuade Duncan and Ginobili to come to the Bobcats to support him.

However, doing all this is not enough, because in the Bobcats, besides him, there are also some players that Coach D likes very much, especially some of them are his competitors at the same position.

Kemba Walker, the head player of the Bobcats, was Rose Rose's rival in high school. Although after coming to the NBA, he was not as good as Rose Rose, who was suppressed by him in high school. He can be regarded as a somewhat fallen genius.

However, isn't this kind of young, somewhat fallen genius the player that Coach D likes very much?
In addition to Kemba Walker, Parker also has a competitor for the same position, Mo Williams.

Mo Williams also came to the Bobcats halfway through last season.

After playing for half a season, it was impossible for Williams to stay in the Bobcats. His contract expired this year and he had no plans to renew it. Before Coach D came, I heard that he was already planning to go to the Celtics to find him. The former boss James.

Then, Mo arrived in Boston, and Coach D announced that he was coming to the Bobcats. Then Mo came to Charlotte from Boston overnight.

Although the Celtics' Magic Monty is also a super famous coach, in terms of the magic of players, Magic Monty is far inferior to Coach D.

Miracle Monty has yet to prove that he can push the limits of a player, nor has he proven that he can turn a role player into a superstar.

Jeff Green's success in the finals last season can only be regarded as Jeff Green being brought to his position by the magical Monty, rather than surpassing his position.

If you have enough talent, there is not that big a difference between being with Coach D and being with Amazing Monty.

Obviously, Mo Williams doesn't feel like he has that much talent right now.

Anyway, you have to get a basic salary next season, and getting a basic salary with the Boston Celtics is definitely not as good as getting a basic salary with the Bobcats.

Mohamed Mohamed and Kemba Walker, these two are Parker's competitors in the Bobcats.

Although Parker now acts as the leader of the team, he is still full of hostility towards these two people.

Especially for Kemba Walker.

Xiao Mo can be used as a substitute. Even if the sixth player is not available, the seventh player can be used. Under Coach D, he will never have to worry about not having a chance to shine.

But Kemba Walker and Parker certainly cannot accept substitutes.

Kemba Walker wants to catch up with Rose, his former rival and strong rival, not to mention MVP, he definitely hopes to be able to do so. Kemba Walker hopes he can take off next season.

If you want to take off, how can you do it without starting?

In fact, Kemba Walker's first target is the starting shooting guard.

He is the height of a point guard, but his style of play is split play, so he and Parker were often paired as starters for the Bobcats last season.

Parker point guard him split position.

Compared with point guard, the split position can definitely take advantage of his advantages better.

If he were just a point guard passing the ball to Jordan, with his ability, especially his organizational ability, he would basically expose his shortcomings.

So Kemba Walker's team was actually not that happy after Du Kang arrived.

Because not only Du Kang came, but he also brought Jordan.

Because now the whole world knows that Coach D will definitely let Jordan start at shooting guard next season.

As a result, the Bobcats are down to one starting guard.

Kemba Walker and Tony Parker need to compete for the starting point guard position.

It's not even just these two competing.

After all, there are more than just these two point guards in the NBA.

In this year's free market, there are a lot of point guards in the NBA.

For example, Aaron Brooks, I heard that this player was Coach D's favorite when he was a fan. Now he has come to Charlotte and is preparing to join the Bobcats.

For example, Hinrich of the Bulls, the perfect traditional point guard next to Jordan, Billups Jr., and Kidd Jr.

Meanwhile, Hinrich is also waiting for his chance in Charlotte.

In addition, there is Clippers point guard Rondo.

Rondo was sent to the Clippers last season to follow his mentor Doc Reeves. Doc Reeves must be Rondo's first choice, but if Du Kang calls, then obviously, this first choice will be questioned.

There is also Rose, and even Rose can enter the trading market.

If Du Kang is willing, there will be a lot of choices in this year's free market and trading market.

And this is also Parker's desire to lobby Duncan and Ginobili to come over.

Now with the support of Duncan and Ginobili, Parker feels that he is the best starting point guard candidate.

If you want to compete with the Lakers next season, lineup familiarity is the most important.

Since we are building a team with Duncan as the core, wouldn't it be the perfect choice to have Parker who is very familiar with Duncan?

Although Jordan is the Bobcats' top player, just like the Bulls back then, Jordan is not the team's organizational core, but the offensive core. The team's real organizational core is Pippen.

With him and Duncan, Jordan doesn't need to worry about team organization at all.

So as long as he is in the starting lineup, now Coach D only needs to find suitable players at the small forward and center positions.

I have to say that with Duncan as an insider, Parker is very well-informed.

Du Kang brought Duncan here so solemnly, certainly not to let Duncan play a role player.

Since Duncan is established as the core player and Jordan's assistant, then Tony Parker is the best Duncan assistant.

Jordan and Duncan are older. With Coach D's style, they will definitely be the core of the core in the playoffs. They will definitely get a lot of rest in the regular season. The MVP in the regular season will definitely not go to these two leading players. They will definitely be in the end. It will fall on myself, the third child.

Therefore, he only needs to be the third player on the Bobcats team.

Compared with Parker, Kemba Walker is indeed not that well-informed right now.

His performance for four consecutive seasons was average. Rose was already an MVP in his fourth year, and he was just an ordinary quasi-star player in his fourth year.

His rookie contract has expired and he is a restricted free agent this summer. If he cannot find his future with the Bobcats, he is not afraid to leave.

He is still young now, and anything is possible in the future. No matter how great Coach D is, he cannot become the Lakers' Antetokounmpo and Jokic Ibanks who are the type of players that Coach D can recruit. He needs a Stable core position.

Just when the players in the Bobcats' training hall were fighting each other.

In the office, Du Kang and Jordan were discussing summer operations.

"Keep the picks and see if there are any prospects worth looking forward to."

This year's Bobcats have the ninth pick in the first round and the ninth pick in the second round.

"I keep the draft picks, what should I do with reinforcements?"

Jordan looked at Du Kang with wide eyes.

In addition to the draft picks, the Bobcats' assets are really Kemba Walker, and Kemba Walker is still a quasi-star restricted free agent with little value. If he is an All-Star young man, even a restricted free agent will still have great value. .

Therefore, the Bobcats have no way to strengthen if they keep the draft picks.

"Michael, it's rare for the Bobcats to be drafted in the lottery every year, but in the end the team's assets are so shabby."

Du Kang finished speaking with a smile, and Jordan smiled awkwardly.

If it was not Du Kang who said this, but someone else, even Feier, he would be ready to punch.

Isn't this just mocking my poor drafting skills?

Well, does Comrade Michael’s drafting ability need to be ridiculed?

"Coach D, since we don't have the draft picks, I'm afraid one Kemba is not enough to reinforce..."

Du Kang looked at this year's list of free agents and shook his head with a smile.

"That's enough, actually it's enough."

After Du Kang thought of something, he smiled and said to Jordan.

"Shaq is not joking. He is really coming to Charlotte and is really going to make a comeback with the Bobcats."

Jordan's eyes widened.

O'Neal and Duncan want to partner in the inside combination! ! !
And on the streets of Charlotte.

O'Neal, who had just walked out of the hotel, and his camera team instantly became the most beautiful scenery.

"Fak!!! Shaquille O'Neal is really here to follow Coach D!!!!"

"O'Neal, Duncan, Jordan, my God, if they can be 20 years younger, the Bobcats will be invincible next season!!!"

"It's a pity that they can't be 20 years younger!"

So, if he wasn’t invincible, would it be a joke?

In the Bobcats' head coach's office, Dukan received another call.

Many retired veterans want to come back to him.

It wasn't him who begged O'Neal, it was O'Neal who begged him.

In the end, he chose O'Neal as the prop he used for Barkley last season.

"O'Neal, Duncan, Jordan..."

Du Kang looked at the excited fans online and smiled.

He was actually looking forward to it.

"Invincible or a joke?"

I think it should be very invincible!
