Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 53 Coach D playing tricks?

Du Kang's cheers resounded from the audience at the Staples in Los Angeles, which made Mr. Zhang and the CCTV team, Wang Gan and Penguin's team really excited and excited.

Because Mr. Zhang is going to broadcast live, he still needs to suppress his emotions. Wang Gan and his group of penguin live broadcasters are not so particular.

"Coach Xiao Du, I love you! Coach Xiao Du, I love you! Coach Xiao Du, I love you to death!"

The beautiful anchor next to her is so unrestrained. Normally, Wang would definitely complain in his heart, but this time, not only did he not complain, but he approved it very much.

She who always thinks about posting to Moments, this time is actually the most suitable time to post on Moments, but she didn't take out her mobile phone, nor asked the people next to her to take pictures for her, but was there holding a slogan supporting Du Kang Crazy alone.

It looks exaggerated, but it is actually true.

Perhaps, in China now, many people like Jiu Jiu, the original basketball 'precious', are all showing their true feelings for Coach Xiao Du?

Just like when Yao Ming galloped in the NBA back then, he turned every male basketball 'precious thing' into a basketball-loving fan.

According to the current vocabulary, call out the circle.

Another character who can go out of the circle and resonate with everyone has appeared in the Chinese basketball world!
And this character, the group attracted this time may be even more out of the circle than Yao Ming!
So handsome, so stylish!
"Maybe……"

No, not maybe!

"My golden age is coming!"

……

……

Amidst the cheers of the Lakers fans, the game came to the second quarter.

The rotation stage of the second quarter is a relatively weak link for the Lakers.

The main combat strength of the Lakers now is the five major stars plus the UAE.

The four players Kobe, Nash, Gasol, and Artest are getting older and can no longer be as rough as they were when they were young.

Howard and Alian are young.

But Ah Lian's physical strength is only 80, so Du Kang's current playing time for Ah Lian is about 24 minutes for the main attack, and about 30 minutes for the non-attack, which is 2 to 2 and a half quarters.

And Howard, who has a hidden back injury, can't die.

With the overall morale of the Lakers rising, the ability attributes of people like Antawn Jamison, Jordan Hill and Earl Clark have recovered.

The three are also qualified NBA rotation players.

However, the three of them are now supporting players, and they need a player like Nash to bring them to their full potential.

But the Lakers have only one Nash.

The key is that although Nash's physical strength has returned to 84, it is impossible for Du Kang to let Nash play 48 minutes a game like James.

It is precisely because of this that as long as the Lakers start Nash and Yi Jianlian, there will inevitably be problems with the Lakers' rotation.

While playing the Thunder, the United Arab Emirates and Nash had to start.

The Thunder's defense is too strong, and the UAE needs to open up space to attract Ibaka's defense, thereby reducing the damage of Ibaka's defense to Nash against Westbrook.

To tear the Thunder's defense, you need to attack Westbrook, and the entire Lakers, except for Kobe who can use the running position to tear Westbrook, only Nash has this ability.

Because Nash's shooting in all areas is fiery, coupled with his explosive shooting attributes, he is more suitable than Kobe for punishing Westbrook's lack of concentration.

Therefore, in order to block the Thunder's strong starting lineup, Yi Jianlian and Nash must start.

In the end, Du Kang can only use Gasol, Earl Clark, Jamison, Jodi Mix, and Blake in the Lakers' rotation.

When Jodi Meeks was in the 76ers, he was a very good role player. He could shoot and three-point, but he was very unstable and had no organizational skills. He was good for one year and bad for one year, but this year he came to the Lakers , exactly when he was at his worst, his field goal percentage per game was less than 39%.

Coupled with Blake, who can only be a dribbling guard and a three-point shooter, the perimeter of the Lakers' rotation is not the slightest threat.

There is no threat from the outside line, and it is difficult for the inside line to gain space.

Now the Lakers' bench lineup urgently needs a perimeter core with offensive threats and organization, which is commonly known as the sixth man.

Therefore, 3 minutes before the rotation time in the second quarter, the Lakers were firmly suppressed by the Thunder.

Fortunately, Du Kang's requirements for the Lakers' rotation are not high, that is, to defend, to hold, not to collapse.

Use Meeks to stare at Kevin Martin, and the other three insiders all shrink their defenses to prevent Reggie Jackson from shooting. He must not be allowed to rush in!
The Thunder's counterattack during the rotation time was very violent.

The Lakers' rotation looks shaky, but it just won't.

The reason is naturally that Reggie Jackson is a little guy, and his shooting is now as unstable as Westbrook.

Thunder coach Scott Brooks, who was full of confidence after the team trailed by 12 points at the end of the first quarter just now, was also a little anxious when he saw that the team was gaining momentum on the court without scoring.

Listening to the cheers of the Lakers fans for the young head coach next to him, watching Reggie Jackson on the court bang bang bang bang.

Scott Brooks felt a little angry.

"Kevin, come on!"

Durant, who was instructed by Scott Brooks, only rested for 3 minutes and was ready to play.

Seeing that Durant was about to go up, he burst into wailing.

"Fuck, it's over, I can't hold on anymore!"

"I beg the Thunder to replace Westbrook and Adu together!"

"I beg the Thunder to change Westbrook and Adu to play together!"

……

……

Even the netizens of Ahpu understand what level of killer Durant's existence is to the Lakers, and how can the Lakers assistants on the scene not understand.

Thunder coach Scott Brooks looked proudly at Du Kang who was still standing next to him after replacing Durant.

That look seemed to be saying.

"See, this is my confidence!"

Scott Brooks is now very appreciative of the two assistant coaches of the Lakers who are anxious like ants on a hot pot.

Looking forward to Dukang also like ants on a hot pot.

"Du, do we want to play Kobe?"

On Kobe?
So much simulation experience tells Du Kang that if Westbrook is not on the court, he can't guard Durant even if he plays Kobe.

Of course, this cannot be said directly.

Du Kang smiled and shook his head.

"No, Kobe can't play more than 36 minutes per game, not one second more."

In other words, the Lakers have to play 3 minutes without Kobe on the court, but the opponent has Durant.

At this time, on the court, Durant received a pass from Reggie Jackson on the first attack after he came on the court. He made a big stride breakthrough and knocked down Jordan Hill. Te didn't make an emergency stop for a jumper, but continued to go straight to the basket.

A big man who looks 2 meters 10 can change directions like Iverson and break through. After hitting the basket, he can actually change hands in the air and turn the blue like Kobe!
Nima's!
Even though it was not the first time for Du Kang to watch this scene, it was still extremely shocking!

"Neither Gasol nor Clark blocked Durant, Durant was anti-blue!"

Teacher Zhang Lili, who was on the sidelines commentary, was stunned.

"This ball, this ball is too unreasonable, too beautiful!"

After completing this goal, which is enough to be called the top ten goals of his career, Durant tore his collar while bouncing and roaring, as if he was venting something.

In the first quarter of the game, he played really aggrieved.

With the ball just now, he had an element of catharsis.

Hamm and Clifford, who were still persuading Du Kang to replace Kobe just now, said nothing at this time.

Fake!

Just now, the ball is a move that a 2-meter player can make in the NBA?

Facing this Durant who is hanging out, whoever goes up will give it away!
Hamm and Clifford looked at each other, it turned out that Kobe didn't guard Durant in the first quarter!
After the two looked at each other, they looked at Du Kang with even more reverence.

It was him who pulled Westbrook into the Lakers camp in the first quarter!
This method is too dirty... no, it's amazing!
For the Lakers, let Durant catch the ball, then the Lakers will have no way to defend.

The Thunder don't have Westbrook on the court, so it's not easy to stop Durant from receiving the ball.

The Lakers were on the court, Durant dribbled the ball halfway, and double-teamed Durant directly.

But the Thunder players are all trying to find Durant, instead of seeing Durant being entangled and doing it by themselves like Westbrook.

Teammates are willing to give the ball patiently and hard, and Durant himself is willing to run and cooperate with his teammates, plus he is tall enough.

You can't stop him from catching the ball.

However, it is obvious that Du Kang let the Lakers double-team Durant after halftime, and it is not completely ineffective.

Can waste the Thunder's offensive time.

It takes at least 15 seconds for the Thunder to get the ball into Durant's hands.

Then when the Lakers attacked by themselves, they also slowly attacked in positions, slowly delaying time.

Even if Durant intends to kill the enemy, it is difficult to bring up the rhythm.

No matter how strong Durant is, he is just a 2-meter killer, not Rose, Westbrook, Curry, Nash and other defenders.

These defenders can really bring up the rhythm and score explosively in a short time.

But Durant, no, he can't afford such a fast pace.

Durant's height made him extremely powerful, and Durant's height also restricted him from being even stronger.

Therefore, even if the Lakers are in a mess, they can still hold on and not collapse!

Delaying time can make Durant unable to kill the Lakers in a short time!

"Coach D is really leading the Thunder for the first time?"

"My God, the Los Angeles Lakers are holding on!"

"Coach D's targeting of KD and the Thunder is too effective!"

"It's hard for you to imagine that this game targeted Russell and KD so well. Coach D is the first time to lead the team to play against the Thunder!"

"I swear, in the entire NBA, there may not be a head coach who restricts the Thunder from targeting Russell and KD!"

Listening to the praise of Du Kang by the TNT three-day group on TV, James and Wade in front of the TV were both dumbfounded and wanted to nod.

Really, what O'Neal, Barkley and Kenny Smith said is true.

In the entire league, who plays the Thunder not against other players in the Thunder?

Let's say they are hot, and they are targeting Perkins.

For Westbrook and Durant?

Can the two monsters of Lei Ting be the ones you can target if you want to?
Let's put it this way, whether they play well or not, they never look at their opponents, but at themselves.

But Coach D!

He really did the opposite!
And, it works great!
It really broke Westbrook's mentality.

He really led the Lakers and Thunder to the end, leading!

With 2 minutes and 50 seconds left in the game, the Lakers still led by 6 points.

The Thunder played very hard, but they just couldn't turn the score back.

"sharp……"

Watching the 104-98 score on TV, Wade sighed subconsciously.

After sighing, Wade realized that he had done something wrong.

Then he carefully looked at James next to him.

Wade was relieved to find that James hadn't paid attention to his exclamation just now.

"Unfortunately, the Lakers still can't win!"

what?
Wade looked at James who was excited at this time, and was taken aback for a moment.

The Lakers still can't win?
Wade, who quickly thought of something, immediately turned his attention to the TV.

And at the same time, the voice of excitement and excitement from the TNT three-day group came.

"Kill the shark, the Thunder team chopped the shark!"

"Westbrook fouled, Howard made a free throw!"

"Howard's first free throw miss!"

"Howard was nervous, my God, Howard missed the second free throw!"

"Ibaka serves from the baseline, Kevin Durant asks for the ball, Kevin Durant dribbles forward, it's too fast, Kobe's drive fails, it's the top of the arc, it's Artest, it's Durant's three-pointer, bang! Hit!"

"101 to 104, the Thunder are only three points away from catching up!"

"This season, the strongest Thunder appeared at a critical moment in the league, and the Lakers are in danger!"

"Westbrook chased Howard and fouled again. Dwight Howard will be sent to the free throw line again!"

Wade was stunned watching what happened in just a dozen seconds on TV.

In addition to admiring James' IQ.

At the same time, he was also shocked by the Thunder's ability to chase points.

This season, the Thunder's ability to score explosively at critical moments is indeed strong.

In many cases, Westbrook and Durant's consecutive hits can even out the ten-point difference in a short period of time.

With such a strong defensive system, coupled with these two stars with extremely high offensive ceilings, if Westbrook can attack more stably... invincible!
Therefore, this Thunder is still the strongest opponent of the Heat!

Moreover, this Thunder is more restrained than the Heat against the Lakers!
After all, the Thunder built their team with the Lakers as their imaginary enemy.

"Coach D's first defeat seems to be coming!"

Coach D has worked very hard and performed very well.

but……

"It's time to lose!"

A smile appeared on Wade's face.

Coach D loses, and the pressure on LeBron dissipates.

Ok?
Coach D didn't ask for a timeout?

Coach D seems to have removed a golden wristband from his wrist and handed it to Howard?
then……

For some reason, Howard, who was being chased by Westbrook just now, was so frustrated that he couldn't do it, but the expression on his face became that kind of excited and excited.

Why is that?
There are a bunch of question marks in Wade's head.

James next to him frowned after being taken aback for a moment.

"To make a fool of yourself!"
