Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 581 Duncan in pain, Popovich in distress!
Duncan's physical strength has been restored very well by Du Kang.

Now all Duncan needs is a pair of young legs to take off.

Moreover, the props can be used later, which is very cost-effective.

In the end, Du Kang chose to give Duncan a one-step solution, repairing Duncan's iron legs and restoring his athletic ability.

Du Kang can't afford the purple and purple-gold steel legs. Now Du Kang can only afford the golden steel legs, which can restore 90% of Duncan's peak athletic ability.

But it doesn’t matter, you can just add the remaining part using points.

The golden steel legs and steel knees are both props, and both take a week to equip.

Now that Game 6 of the Lakers and Thunder has not started yet, Du Kang has enough time to equip Duncan with steel legs.

In the Bobcats' training camp, after the Eastern Conference Finals, the Bobcats players were still very relaxed.

Although most of the finals viewers and veteran experts are more optimistic about the Lakers, the Lakers are now deeply entangled in a battle with the Thunder.

All in all, the Bobcats are in very good condition now. They ended the Eastern Conference Finals early and can prepare for the finals early.

These players of the Bobcats also know who their opponents are in the finals.

Although the Lakers lost the decisive battle against the Thunder last night, the Bobcats players are still more optimistic about the Lakers.

The Thunder have already tried their best, while the Lakers still have some strength to spare. It is really hard to say who will win or lose at this point in the playoffs, but as long as the Lakers have not been eliminated, no one will say that the Thunder has a high chance of advancing, even if the Thunder are already leading 3-2 and have the home-court advantage in Game 6.

It is precisely because of this that the Bobcats players are preparing for the finals with the Lakers as their imaginary enemy.

At this moment, every player on the Bobcats has his or her own opponent to prepare for.

For example, the Bobcats' inside players, O'Neal, Duncan, Thabeet, and Myles Turner.

The main targets of these four people are Yao Ming and Jokic.

Of course, it was too cruel to let Thabeet and Myles Turner go against Yao Ming, so the ones preparing for the game against Yao Ming were O'Neal and Duncan, who both had new and old grudges against Yao Ming.

When he was on the Lakers, Yao Ming was O'Neal's lifelong enemy and the only young center in the NBA that he took a fancy to.

As for Duncan, when he was in the Spurs, in the first stage of Yao Ming's career, Duncan was Yao Ming's nemesis. After Yao Ming's efforts, Yao Ming successfully completed his revenge on Duncan, hit the buzzer-beater in front of Duncan, and led the Lakers to a surprise victory over the Spurs, thus embarking on the road to becoming a god.

Now, Duncan and O'Neal are waiting for the finals to regain the ground they once lost or the peak showdown they once missed in front of Yao Ming.

For O'Neal, his biggest regret is that he was not able to match Yao Ming's peak at his peak.

For Duncan, the biggest regret in his career was that he did not end his career with a championship and left perfectly. The culprit who failed to let him accomplish all this was Yao Ming. At that time, McGrady, Kobe and Olajuwon of the Lakers were all injured. At that time, the Spurs almost had one foot in the knockout round, but Yao Ming was unexpectedly like a god descending to earth, leading the Lakers to a superb all the way, and reversed the situation to win the championship after falling behind 0-3 in the finals.

With one playoff performance, he directly ascended to the position of the strongest center and the strongest inside player in NBA history, becoming the recognized person with the strongest hard power in NBA history.

Beasley is now considered by many professionals to be the player with the strongest physical strength in NBA history, but he has not yet proven himself like Yao Ming.

In the playoffs of that season, Yao Ming could easily get quadruple-doubles!

He can even average a quadruple-double in a series.

Yao Ming in that season was the most incredible player in NBA history.

Facing such a player, O'Neal and Duncan could not be more cautious.

Of course, compared to O'Neal's full confidence, Duncan was a little more solemn.

The reason why O'Neal is full of confidence is that this moment is the strongest time in his career!
Although he can only play one game in three days, two games in five days, and maybe four games in a series at most, and can only play for 3 minutes in each game, but in these 20 minutes of each game, he feels that he is invincible.

Not to mention the young Kobe and Jordan, even McGrady and Yao Ming are no problem!

O'Neal has such confidence, but it is difficult for Duncan to have such confidence.

He knows how strong Yao Ming and McGrady are.

He is very strong now, and his physical strength has almost recovered to 95% of its peak, but the decline in athletic ability cannot be ignored.

In that legendary All-Star Game, Coach D helped him regain his peak athletic ability. He played the game with great enthusiasm and then took a month off to recover.

He knows what it takes to regain his athletic ability.

He also knows that Coach D can help him rediscover his athleticism again, but it will come at a price.

Coach D also promised him that he would help him regain his lost athletic ability and let the Flying Devil once again dominate the sky over North Carolina.

Now, the finals are about to begin.

Coach, can you really help him regain his former madness in the finals?
Just as Duncan and O'Neal were sparring with each other in preparation for the match against Yao Ming, the team's assistant coach Nash came over.

"Tim, the coach wants you to come over."

Duncan's eyes widened in a daze.

I looked towards Du Kang, and then I saw a very familiar figure, Iverson!!!

Iverson also came to the Bobcats training camp today.

And besides Iverson, there were others, Embiid came with his girlfriend Rihanna.

Devin Booker, Canaan, Covington, Jeremy Grant and other 76ers players are also here.

Iverson brought his favorite players to the Bobcats to learn.

"Coach, aren't you guys preparing for the Lakers game? It just so happens that Qiao'er is the little Yao Ming, and Qiao'er himself wants to come here to learn more."

"Coach D, I want to come to the Bobcats every day to see what Coach D's team is like."

Du Kang was still very happy to see Iverson and Embiid.

Last summer, Embiid traveled around the United States with the Bobcats players. It can be said that he is an old acquaintance of these Bobcats players.

However, Rihanna is indeed not that familiar, but she has a high influence among the black community in the United States, and most of the NBA players are black.

So Rihanna is also very popular among the NBA community.

After seeing Rihanna, O'Neal stopped practicing with Duncan. He immediately put a camera on his head and started the live broadcast.

"Brothers, Rihanna is here at the training ground today. My head itches, so I've grown a camera to show you your goddess!"

"Hahahaha, your goddess has now been picked up by the ugliest man in the NBA, hahahaha..."

"Shaq, the ugliest man in the NBA is definitely not me. I think Wiggins is uglier than me."

Embiid didn't care about O'Neal's teasing at all, and greeted netizens online in a very funny way.

In the barrage bar on the right side of the live broadcast room, netizens in the live broadcast room started posting barrages of comments from the Great Emperor.

After Embiid finished the series against the Celtics, he completely became a superstar in popularity.

Although he was defeated by Leonard in the end and failed to lead the 76ers to defeat the Celtics, Embiid's first career game was against the Celtics in the Eastern Conference semifinals, and he almost pushed the Celtics into a desperate situation. Even the most loyal Celtics fans would vote for Embiid when voting for the best rookie debut in NBA history. After Embiid said that Wiggins was uglier than himself, netizens exploded instantly, and many netizens were even ready to @Wiggins.

Some netizens also said that the rookies in the same class as the Great Emperor were indeed full of ugly men. Wiggins and Embiid were both extremely ugly. Smart, Parker, Gordon, and Randle were also ugly men. Even if they were not that ugly, their looks were still below normal.

In the end, it was magical to discover that Jokic is already the most handsome.

Jokic was indeed handsome when he was thin, but now he is getting fatter and fatter. His strength is getting stronger, but his appearance is declining rapidly.

The rookies of the 2014 class are indeed considered ugly among all the rookies in NBA history, but their strength is definitely at the ceiling level.

It is really amazing that three stars with super potential emerged from one rookie class.

O'Neal was playing pranks with Jokic, while on the other side, Durant took Iverson, Nash and Duncan to the corner.

"Tim, your physical training camp has been completed and your physical strength has recovered very well. Now you can start to restore your athletic ability. It will be very hard and painful during this period. I hope you can stick with it."

"Coach, I can definitely hold on!"

Duncan was excited. Finally, the coach was going to restore me to my peak form!
However, Du Kang did not give Duncan acupuncture in person.

"Alan, how are your Eight-Nine Divine Needles and Nine-Nine Divine Needles training going?"

“I have mastered it.”

Du Kang nodded and said with a smile: "Alan, you will give Tim acupuncture. Eight-nine magic needles, twice a day for seven consecutive days, and end with the nine-nine magic needles for the last time."

People outside say that Nash has learned the essence of Du Kang's physical therapy, and Iverson also said so outside.

However, he still hopes that he can learn some of the essentials.

Eighty-nine Divine Needles and Ninety-nine Divine Needles, even Seventy-seven Divine Needles, Seventy-eight Divine Needles, Seventy-nine Divine Needles, Sixty-seven Divine Needles…

The coach teaches many acupuncture methods, and every player has his own recovery situation. It is not difficult to learn the acupuncture methods, but the difficult part is to use these acupuncture methods like the multiplication formula reasonably and combine them for use. This is not so easy.

For example, in order to restore Duncan's physical fitness, Iverson didn't know why the Eight-Nine Divine Needles and the Nine-Nine Divine Needles were effective, and why not the Six-Six Divine Needles and the Seven-Seven Divine Needles?

If the injection is given incorrectly, not only will it be ineffective, but it will also cause your players to suffer heart-wrenching pain for a period of time. How miserable is that.

The most difficult part of Chinese medicine therapy is comprehension. Iverson feels that his comprehension is indeed not as good as Nash's.

It’s not that the coach doesn’t teach, but that he can’t teach.

You just need to rely on your own experience to understand and feel it.

Even the coach took a season of thinking, understanding, and feeling to find the method that suits Duncan.

And it’s not certain whether it will be useful.

There are people out there who don't know how difficult it is to restore athletic ability for players and only brag that Coach D is a god. In fact, coaches are also human beings.

If these people knew how much effort the coach has put into restoring Duncan this season, they probably wouldn't find it easy.

Now with Du Kang's clear instructions, it became very easy for Iverson to give acupuncture.

Duncan's screams of pain instantly attracted O'Neal, Embiid, Rihanna and online viewers.

"Iverson is giving Duncan an injection?!"

"Iverson is trying to restore Tim's former athletic ability!!!"

O'Neal excitedly went over with his live broadcast equipment.

At the same time, we explain to the audience why this happens.

It turned out that Coach D had promised to restore Duncan's former athletic ability before the finals.

Coach D thought about it for a whole season, and lost a lot of hair, but he finally found a combination of needle techniques that suited Duncan's body.

After hearing what O'Neal said, Rihanna and the audience were shocked when they first learned the inside story of Coach D's physical recovery of players.

It turns out that even for Coach D, it is not easy to restore a player's physical strength and athletic ability!

"Everyone's body is different. For example, Howard is not suitable for shooting and has no shooting talent. If you want to develop his three-point shooting ability, you need to tap into his shooting talent hidden in his body, which is very difficult. Coach D also thought about it for a season before he found a solution. It's a pity that Howard died young, otherwise he would still be a legend in the NBA now."

After O'Neal finished his sigh, the audience on the Internet started posting comments such as "It's all James' fault!"

Isn't the reason why Howard died young because he was betrayed by James in the Knicks?
He died of serious injuries.

So now the most die-hard LeBron haters are Howard fans.

Many die-hard Beast fans even asked James to die for Beast.

Of course, this is indeed a bit too extreme.

Many viewers learned for the first time the inside story of Coach D restoring players' athletic abilities and cultivating abilities out of nothing for their players, so they were very curious about Iverson's acupuncture on Duncan.

"Do you think Coach D can get Duncan back to his peak athletic ability?"

"I guess so! Duncan recovered from that legendary All-Star Game!"

"But that time, Duncan recovered and played one game before lying down for a month!"

"Didn't O'Neal say this time? Coach D had already helped Duncan regain his peak strength before he recovered. This time will definitely be different from that time."

"First regain your strength, then regain your athletic ability. It's really difficult and complicated. No wonder Coach D doesn't have any scandals or gossip about going out to play. It turns out that he is always thinking about the veterans of the team."

"Coach D is the real basketball fanatic in the NBA!"

“Traditional Chinese medicine is really profound!”

There are fewer and fewer jokes about catching Coach D and slicing him up.

Since Nash and Iverson learned their lessons, many people know that although Chinese medicine therapy seems metaphysical, it is actually scientific.

"Bruce, do you think Tim can really recover to his peak athletic ability in the finals?"

Popovich, who is now troubled by the Western Conference Finals, is also watching the live broadcast.

He felt heartbroken when he heard Duncan's painful sound of slaughtering a pig.

Those who are not Coach D’s people, Coach D doesn’t feel bad when playing, but he feels bad!

Bowen didn't know how to answer for a moment.

What is the most extreme minotaur in the NBA.

Just look at what Coach D did to Popovich…

Popovich is the real Green...
