Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 52 The wind is still blowing, the wind keeps blowing!

In this game, Du Kang unexpectedly used Nash to defend Westbrook, and Kobe's defensive strategy of pestering Durant achieved excellent results.

Nash stood in front of Westbrook like an iceberg from Canada.

Frozen West Coast Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have cold hands and feet, hot heads and upturned mouths.

And Kobe's dog skin plaster defense seems to be defending Durant, but it is actually encouraging Westbrook to attack.

The connection between Westbrook and Durant is very tenuous, and Westbrook's passes to Durant are all very simple passes.

The two usually rarely cooperate with complex tactics.

Lei Ting's two goblins are just swinging, you are done swinging, I will swing, and after I finish swinging, you will swing.

So the passes of the two are very direct and simple passes.

Even if Westbrook had Durant in his heart, seeing Durant being so entangled by Kobe and making it difficult to pass the ball, he would attack directly.

This is called giving Westbrook an excuse to let go of his guilt towards Durant and give Westbrook an excuse to release his desire to attack.

As the second head of the Thunder, he has taken more shots than Durant this season, and his desire to attack can't be restrained even with Durant by his side.

Unknowingly, Westbrook helped the Lakers guard Durant.

These two goblins must not be opened at the same time!

Even if you let Westbrook open, you can't let Durant open.

In the best case, let Westbrook attack wildly and compress Durant's offensive space.

Judging from the effect after the start of the game, this move has an excellent effect.

Clifford, who was not very optimistic about Du Kang's crazy defensive strategy before the start of the game, looked at Du Kang now, as if he was looking at God.

Those famous coaches, even if you know a lot of techniques and tactics, so what?
Can you guys come up with such a weird but effective defensive strategy to defend the Thunder's double-minor team?
"You guys don't understand people's hearts!"

Clifford looked down in admiration.

After the timeout ended, Thunder coach Scott Brooks apparently also discovered Du Kang's plot.

So after the timeout, Westbrook dribbled the ball across the half, even though he saw Nash in front of him, even if he wanted to kill him directly, but in the end, he held back.

Westbrook and Durant pick and roll.

Thunder coach Scott Brooks nodded on the sidelines.

The best result is of course to switch defenses, Durant playing Nash, that is the best result.

"If Kobe and Nash double-team Durant, well, let Russell take an open shot, it's acceptable."

Scott Brooks looked confidently at the young Lakers coach who was also standing on the sidelines.

"Russell's shot will punish you!"

Du Kang noticed the gaze of Scott Brooks next to him, smiled and nodded to the young coach of the Thunder.

On the court, facing the double-teaming of Kobe and Nash, Westbrook received a pass from Durant. Westbrook outside the three-point line, even though there were so many strikes in front, after receiving the pass from Durant, Westbrook He didn't choose to break through and then return the ball to Durant. Instead, he simply caught and shot the ball and pulled it up high on the spot.

Very confident!
then……

It wasn't a swipe, nor a bang.

The ball thrown by Westbrook flew out of the court directly.

"..."

Looking at Durant who was jumping on the court, Westbrook who was still confident and stubborn, and then looked at Du Kang who was still looking at him with a smile.

Scott Brooks was silent.

The Lakers really don't guard against Russell!

Scott Brooks frowned.

Even if Russell is really not a player who is good at shooting, but it won't work like this, right?

Moreover, Scott Brooks was very concerned about the confident and calm smile on his face just now.

Could it be that he really has the ability to predict whether players are good or bad?

Scott Brooks shook his head, can't be influenced by him, can't be shaken!
"There is nothing wrong with our style of play, and there is nothing wrong with Russell's shooting, he just didn't shoot!"

It's the Lakers' turn to attack. After the timeout just now, the Thunder's defense has obviously become more aggressive.

Kobe dribbled the ball across the half court, and Sefolosha pressed the half court. Before Kobe reached the three-point line, Sefolosha drew a foul.

Obviously, this is a test for the Thunder to increase the intensity of the game, and a test for the referee's whistle-blowing scale.

The intensity of the game has been increased until the referee blows the whistle.

"I have to say that the Thunder's defense is really good!"

Du Kang off the court couldn't help but praise the team's defense.

Especially for the Lakers, the Thunder's defense is even more flawless.

The Thunder will beat the Heat, and the Heat will call Perkins crazy to have a chance to beat the Thunder.

But the Lakers, because there is Howard, and Perkins doesn't care if Howard pulls out, so there is no way to name Perkins crazily.

This makes it impossible for the Thunder's only defensive dead spot to be caught by the Lakers.

This is also the essential reason why the Lakers have been losing to the Thunder in recent years. The offense cannot beat the opponent, and the defense cannot defend against the two goblins. If you can win, it depends on the sky.

Even Du Kang, the Thunder's defense, couldn't help but praise him, which shows how satisfied Scott Brooks, the Thunder's head coach, is not far away.

As a defensive head coach, he firmly believes that defense is the key to winning everything.

For the Thunder, as long as the defense does not collapse, the team will not lose easily.

As long as the Lakers can't break the Thunder's defense, no matter how much they fall behind in this game, as long as there is time, the Thunder will have a chance.

So, seeing the appearance of the Lakers in desperation under the Thunder's defense on the court, Scott Brooks looked at Du Kang confidently again.

Don't blame him for paying attention to Du Kang frequently.

In fact, in the current NBA, Du Kang is Tang Seng.

The monster catches Tang Seng in order to live forever.

These head coaches in the NBA will gain great prestige by beating Du Kang.

Coach D's first defeat, under the hype of the American media, is almost equal to the Tang Monk meat of NBA coaches, and everyone wants to get it.

And more importantly, the American media has been hyping Du Kang as a head coach with poor technical and tactical skills. Such a head coach can kill all quarters in the NBA by relying on Sun Tzu's Art of War. This is a humiliation to those traditional head coaches.

Experts often ridicule that coach D keeps winning, which is a slap in the face to those professional head coaches in the NBA.

Let's put it this way, in the NBA, except for chicken soup head coaches like Doc Rivers, they will believe in Du Kang's "Sun Tzu's Art of War" to play in the NBA.

The other coaches were a little dismissive.

The Art of War?

Sun Tzu's Art of War can rule the NBA, what's the use of traditional coaches like us?

Are all the basketball skills and tactics and basketball system we have learned before for nothing?
Other types of head coaches, whether they play offense or defense, are holding back their energy and want to kill Du Kang, a half-baked rookie coach.

The same is true for Scott Brooks, although he said he was very friendly before the game, but he was suffocating in his heart.

On the court, the offense of the Lakers was stared at by the Thunder who strengthened their defense. As the time decreased a little bit, the 24-second attack time was also slowly disappearing.

The Lakers fans watching this attack of the Lakers were really trembling and uneasy.

"Covered, the Lakers' offense was completely covered by the Thunder's defense!"

"The Thunder's defensive players move fast and are tall. One hand is like a big net!"

"The Los Angeles Lakers, who lack speed and explosive power, cannot tear this big net!"

Satisfied watching the Thunder's defensive Scott Brooks on the field, his face finally showed a smile.

Let me see when you are calm!
Scott Brooks looked at Du Kang again, and he saw...

"Coach D raised his right hand again!"

"Russell Westbrook is stuck with Howard!"

"Steve Nash crossed in and ran out!"

Nash brought Westbrook to the basket. After Howard got stuck on Westbrook, Perkins had to switch defenses against Nash who was about to corner.

Nash, who received a pass from Kobe in the bottom corner, faced Perkins' defense, and with an easy bow, he passed Perkins who had saved him, and then rode a horse and shot an arrow in the middle distance, and threw the basketball in his hand.

A swipe!
When the basketball brushes the net, the 24-second red light comes on.

The goal was valid, the Lakers pressed for 24 seconds, and Nash scored two points with his iconic horseback archery.

16 is better than 8!

"This is Steve Nash's 11th point of the game!"

"The wind is still blowing!"

With the Lakers in 24 seconds, Nash's horseback archery score really stunned the audience and the three TNT commentators.

Seriously, who would have imagined that Nash could perform so well in this game?

"Nash's offense caught Westbrook's defensive loophole again!"

Although Nash's offense broke through Perkins this time, it seemed that Perkins lost his position. In fact, Westbrook lost his defensive position and Perkins made up for it.

So from the root cause, Westbrook was not concentrating just now, and when he saw the immobile Nash suddenly start, he could only rush up, hoping to make up for his inattention mistakes.

Then, because he rushed too hard, he didn't notice Howard's movement, and was blocked by Howard.

"Oh my god! Not only is Nash facing Westbrook on the defensive end, but Nash is also playing against Westbrook on the offensive end!"

"More importantly, Coach D has all succeeded!"

Watching the scene of Nash responding to Du Kang who raised his right hand on the sidelines on TV, many NBA professionals in front of the TV are really dumbfounded.

Let's put it this way, the rise of the Thunder in recent years, the rise of Westbrook, and with Rose's injury, Westbrook is the biggest contender for the league's number one point guard in the future.

Westbrook's super talent, explosive offense, and brave defense.

Everyone can see this, let's just say that Westbrook is the opposite of Nash!
Even if it is Nash at his peak, when he meets a player like Westbrook, he has to avoid playing.

Nash doesn't hide from Westbrook, Westbrook can eat Nash raw!
The average professional coach will let Nash face Westbrook directly if there is a problem with his head.

But in this game, Coach D actually let Nash directly face Westbrook on both offense and defense.

This is really eye-opening!

And the effect is so good!
"Great, great, great, Coach D is amazing!"

At this time, Larry Bird was simply described as "slamming the table".

The Art of War……

Looking at the book in his hand, Larry Bird sighed softly.

"It's really a divine book that manipulates people's hearts!"

Unfortunately, it's too late.

If he had coach D who understood people's hearts back then, the Lakers would never have won the 2000 Finals!
On TV, the game between the Thunder and the Lakers continued in the first quarter.

The Lakers are still pinching Durant desperately on the defensive end, and with Howard guarding the basket, they frantically let Westbrook outside to shoot.

Westbrook is also really confident, no matter how many times he has been ironed before, he will make the shot as he should, without any hesitation.

Kobe who watched kept nodding, and then crazily praised him in his heart, class me, class me!
then……

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Staples in Los Angeles once again staged a symphony concert tonight.

Only this time, the musician at the concert was not Kobe, but Westbrook.

Watching Westbrook crazily hitting the iron on the court.

At this moment, Hamm suddenly thought of what Du Kang said before the game.

"I'm not here for revenge!"

"I'm here for the concert!"

Ham looked at Du Kang who was sitting on the seat with his eyes closed, as if he was really listening to a concert, and couldn't help it.

What the hell!

Impressed!

Convinced!
Westbrook struggled offensively, which directly linked his attitude on the defensive end.

Westbrook is getting edgy on the defensive end.

In the face of Nash's patient running, he either lost his position directly, or let his teammates dislocate his defense and disrupt the team's overall defense.

Facing such an impatient Westbrook, Nash used his own running position, his own passing, and his own offense to magnify Westbrook's defensive mistakes infinitely.

"Steve, it's Steve again, our Son of Wind, he assisted our Warcraft, boom! The basket is shaking!"

"Steve Nash!"

"The wind is still blowing!"

"The wind keeps blowing!"

For the Lakers, the first quarter with the Thunder is definitely a fantastic first quarter.

This is the Thunder who have been beating them violently in the past two seasons!

They really didn't expect to win this game, they just came here to cheer for Coach D and the team.

But the progress of this game is really surprising.

Therefore, when the first quarter ended, more than 2 Lakers fans in the audience were shouting Du Kang's name.

"Coach D!"

"Coach D!"

"Coach D!"

……

……

Listening to the crazy cheers of the Lakers fans at the scene, the domestic netizens who were watching the game were stunned.

"Is this Los Angeles? Is this Staples?"

"Our little coach Du actually got the same treatment as Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant!"

"Our little coach Du actually conquered Los Angeles Staples!"

In fact, not only domestic netizens, but even fans and netizens in the United States are frantically discussing the Lakers fans' praise of Du Kang.

You know, in this game, Du Kang was playing with Kobe, who was the favorite of the Los Angeles Lakers before!
Under such circumstances, Du Kang still received such praise!
Lakers fans made their choice!

"Coach D is like a gust of wind that suddenly appeared. Everyone thought that this gust of wind should disappear immediately, but he is still blowing, and has been blowing!"

Du Kang, who was the focus of everyone at this time, of course heard the cheers from all the fans in Los Angeles.

Not only Du Kang, but Scott Brooks next to Du Kang also heard it.

32:20.

The Los Angeles Lakers led by 12 points in the first quarter.

This point difference is indeed desperate for other teams in the NBA.

It is indeed worth celebrating and cheering.

But, we are Thunder!

Your opponent tonight is the thunderous Thunder!
You guys, it's too early to celebrate!
