Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 74 The pride of James and the Lakers with a broken mentality!
After Du Kang and his party left, Howard did not follow.

He was also watching James and Monty Williams heads-up with other NBA All-Stars.

James took the first ball in singles, wanted the ball on the left to face Monty Williams' defense, turned to the right and wanted to turn and break through, but was predicted to be stuck by Monty Williams.

"continue!"

James started his second singles. After receiving the ball this time, James did not try to turn around and break through to the basket for a dunk. Instead, he turned his back and faced the bottom line to break through. When he dribbled the ball for the second time, he was still judged by Monty Williams. He cut the ball successfully, and James failed the second singles.

"continue!!"

Still breaking through to the bottom line, this time the ball was not cut by Monty Williams, but he also failed to complete the breakthrough under the rule of three dribbles. He could only make an emergency stop jumper under the defense of Monty Williams.

At this moment, Howard was stunned.

The entire Toyota Center was eerily silent.

Only the sound of clicking camera and some noise of video shooting came out.

Online.

Not to mention Zhan Mi, even Comey was stunned.

Even if Comey doesn't like James anymore, he still admits that James is a very strong NBA player.

Even if Comey thinks that James' single-handed level is low, he never thought that James single-handedly can't even beat a retired player like Monty Williams as an active head coach!
"Come again!"

After James received the ball, he suddenly attacked and retreated and rode a horse and shot a jumper. This time, there was nothing wrong with it.

"LeBron, why don't we come?"

"Come again!"

Fuck, Monty Williams is crying, I'm not Tracy McGrady, nor Kobe, what's the point of you insisting on beating me once?

This time, Monty Williams chose to withdraw the stool when James broke through, and let James go over and make a dunk.

End this embarrassing heads-up for everyone.

What Monty Williams never dreamed of was that he almost made James walk when he withdrew the stool. Under such circumstances, low-handed throwing.

Still misses.

"..."

"..."

"..."

For a while, James, Monty, and everyone on the scene were silent again.

After a moment of silence, laughter slowly began.

The kind of laughter and whispering with the mouth covered, it's like a knife...

"Is this the true level of my heads-up?"

A heads-up level that even a retired player and current coach can't play?

"LeBron, your breakthrough needs to rely on dribbling to find rhythm and opportunities. Your body is too big and not flexible enough. These are contrary to the American singles."

"LeBron, you are not suitable for American heads-up, and..."

"NBA games are not American singles."

"Don't be depressed, you are suitable for the NBA game, which is enough for others to envy."

Monty Williams picked up the basketball on the ground and showed a sunny smile to James.

"You are different from Jordan, Kobe, McGrady, you are James, and you are also a unique player."

"..."

James looked at the young coach in front of him, who was called Coach D's lifelong enemy, with a look of shock.

No one ever told him this.

People around him are telling him to surpass Kobe and catch up with Jordan, and he himself feels that he has surpassed Kobe and is chasing Jordan.

What Kobe can do, Jordan can do, so can he.

but……

James is a smart man, he just got knocked over by a half-crippled wheat just now.

After lowering his head, he was still the smart King-James.

"Thank you."

James left the arena.

With Wade, Bosh together.

Both Anthony and Paul chased after him.

After James left, the laughter on the scene no longer needed to be blocked, and the entire Toyota Center was filled with the sound of laughter.

"Ugh."

Monty Williams shook his head.

"I'm still not calm enough. I was on top just now. If I let it go at the beginning, there won't be so many things. I still have to study hard."

"However, I didn't expect LeBron to be so good in singles."

Monty Williams, who was picking up the ball, didn't notice how respectful the All-Star players around him were looking at him.

"Coaching can be done [-]-[-] with Coach D, the first idol coach in the NBA."

"One-on-one can be 1-[-] with the NBA's No.[-] James."

Well, the score between him and James heads-up was 0-0, so there is no problem with saying [-]-[-].

Then someone quickly checked the data of Monty Williams and Jordan when he was a player. After checking, he was stunned.

"Fuck, Jordan averaged only 25 points per game against Monty Williams in his career, and his shooting percentage was only 38.5%!"

Jordan can't even impress a man, if James can impress him, then there will be ghosts!

"Monty Williams, the most mysterious man in the NBA!"

……

……

After the All-Star joint training between the East and the West ended, there were still crazy discussions on the Internet about the heads-up match in the All-Star joint training.

No way, it's too dramatic.

But soon, ESPN has exclusive news.

"LeBron James is suspected of recurring groin injury and missed the All-Star Game!"

For a while, all the major media were reprinting this news.

For a while, James fans began to feel sorry for their emperor.

"Obviously there is an injury, why do you still have to fight against Maizi? Even if you pay tribute to your idol and chase your basketball dream, you don't have to pay homage with your injury, and chase after it with your injury!"

The interesting thing about the recurrence of James' groin injury is that even Comey didn't suspect it was fake.

Otherwise, you can't explain why James can't even beat Monty Williams?

Comey finally thought about it and thought, well, maybe, this time, James' groin strain is really real.

In the end, James' single-handed performance during the Eastern and Western All-Star joint training was once again dropped by the crisis public relations.

Soon, ESPN issued another scoop.

"James is determined to participate in the All-Star game tonight, but his playing time is limited."

Seeing this news, the Comets became even more excited.

"The All-Star MVP this time belongs to Corvo!"

James is injured, the East is definitely not the opponent in the West, and Corvo's MVP must be the most interesting!
"If Corvo really won the fifth AMVP, will the AMVP trophy be named after Corvo in the future?!"

"It's possible, very possible!!"

For a while, Comey on the Internet began to imagine Kobe's fifth All-Star MVP.

And at this moment, an exclusive news from TNT came, and all Comey was dumbfounded.

"Kobe decided to withdraw from this year's All-Star Game due to personal matters!"

Soon, NBA officials immediately issued news.

"The Lakers star Kobe Bryant will miss this year's All-Star Game due to personal affairs. We deeply regret this. Lakers star Steve Nash will replace Kobe Bryant's starting position in the All-Star Game. "

This series of news has completely confused NBA fans.

Soon, the latest news about why Coach D and Kobe left in a hurry came.

"Lakers owner Jerry Buss is dying. Coach D and Kobe are going back to Los Angeles to see him for the last time!"

No wonder Coach D left Houston in a hurry.

No wonder Kobe gave up the All-Star Game.

That's the reason.

……

……

In fact, it was not the first time for Du Kang to meet old Bass.

Jim Shumai took him to meet the legendary owner of the Lakers before.

Seeing Old Bath again, Du Kang thought that there was something wrong with Old Bath's body, but judging from the specific situation, although Old Bath's body was still haggard at this time, his spirit was better.

It seems that the condition should have improved.

Why is Jim Solo looking so sad now?
and many more!

What the hell!

Come back! !
"Coach D, I'm sorry, my affairs have affected your vacation."

"No, Jim said, you want to go to the game?"

Du Kang put away those thoughts in his heart, and looked seriously at the smiling old Bass at this time.

"The doctor no longer restricts my movement, and I can see again. I want to go and have a last look."

"dad……"

"Jim, you go out first."

In the end, Jim Shushu walked out of the ward in three steps and two turns.

"Jim still has fantasies, but I know it's time for all of us to face reality, Coach D, you're laughing."

"Mr. Bass, please speak directly if you have anything to say. If I can help, I will definitely help."

Old Bass let Jim Shushu quit, it must not be because Jim Shushu lost control of his emotions, messed up and refused to accept the reality, there must be other things.

Hearing what Du Kang said, old Bass also showed appreciation and nostalgia on his face.

"Like, very similar."

"..."

"Sorry, when you get old, you will think about a lot of things from the past. I see a lot of Jerry in Coach D."

"That's my honor."

Jerry, that must be West... It must be his honor to compare him with Jerry West.

"Coach D, you don't have to be humble. The greatest achievement in my life is to have the Los Angeles Lakers and Jerry West. I hope that one day, the Los Angeles Lakers and Jim will be proud of having you."

"..."

Faced with such a remark from such an NBA legend, Du Kang was a little dizzy.

Mr. Jerribas, do you usually speak this nicely?

"Coach D, before you showed up, there were two things I was most worried about. One was that Jim would not be able to bear the heavy responsibility I forced on him. Now that you have appeared, I let go of all these worries. "

"Then what's your second worry?"

After knocking him out, see you again, Mr. Jeribas, you really know how to play.

"Bryant, the second thing I worry about is Bryant."

When he said this, the love and appreciation on Jerebas's face could not be concealed anyway.

"When Bryant was 17 years old, Jerry and I brought him to Los Angeles. He was a kid at that time, but now he has become the backbone of the Los Angeles Lakers. He has grown far beyond Jerry and I. Looking forward, this has the support of the Los Angeles Lakers, more of his hard work, dedication and sacrifice, I'm not sure if Bryant's entire career will be greater elsewhere, but I know, I feel sorry for him."

"..."

"During the OK dynasty, Shaq couldn't see his sacrifice. Everyone pretended not to see his sacrifice, but I couldn't. So I chose him in the end. Originally, I wanted the whole world to see his sacrifice. Great, but because of his lack of ability, not only did he not win respect, but he was dragged by me and the Lakers to continue to fall, if it wasn't for Jerry in 2008... no, Jerry said it was a win-win deal, then it would be .”

"..."

Seeing the knowing smile on Old Bath's face, Du Kang was stunned.

Maybe he was the first to tell Kobe in front of him that Kobe sacrificed for the Lakers before.

However, someone didn't say it, but kept it in his heart.

No wonder... no wonder...

"If it wasn't for Jerry, I, who originally wanted to help Bryant prove myself, almost completely ruined Bryant, ruined a great player who made so many sacrifices for the Lakers but couldn't be recognized and couldn't prove himself."

It is conceivable that without the following two championships, Kobe would have lived his entire career in the ridicule of the world, in the ridicule of O'Neal, in the confusion and anger of the Lakers and Los Angeles fans, he must have confirmed what O'Neal said The 'Grandma O'Neil' character, who had nothing to do with him after the OK Dynasty, was all thanks to Shaq.

"Coach D, I don't know what your plan for Bryant's future is, and I don't want to interfere with your plan for the future of the Lakers."

you?
"But I beg you, give Bryant a chance, for the Lakers, he can sacrifice everything, fight everything, even his career, there are not many players in this world who can make such sacrifices for the team gone."

"Mr. Bass, it never occurred to me to throw Bryant off my team."

"..."

This time it was old Buss' turn to be stunned.

"Never thought about it? Did it? I see, Coach D, you are the most intelligent person I have ever met. I am now 100% sure that Jerry's prophecy has come true again."

"..."

Did Jerry West prophesy something about me?
When you say that, it makes me curious.

But I know you won't say it.

So, I will never ask!

Hmph, you want to arouse my curiosity, but I won't be fooled, I'm just not curious.

In the end, Du Kang and Jerry Bass chatted for a while, and Jerry Bass, who wanted to do the trick to Du Kang but failed, finally burst out laughing.

"Coach D, I'm 100% sure now that you are better than Jerry, and you can definitely keep what Jerry and I left for the Lakers."

"..."

This old gentleman looked like an old riddleman!
Well, all old people are like this, especially smart old people.

"What is left of you, Jim, and what is left of Mr. West?"

"The Lakers, a Laker that is more noble than other NBA teams and that all superstars yearn for."

This time, old Buss didn't laugh, and didn't answer the question.

But Du Kang was shocked.

……

……

When Du Kang came out of the old Bath's ward, he saw Kobe at the door and Jim Shushu.

The two just leaned against the wall.

"Did you all hear it?"

"..."

no answer.

Finally, Jim Sister sighed, and walked into the ward with Kobe with a heavy face.

This time it was Du Kang's turn to stay outside and listen to the corner.

However, nothing useful was heard.

Compared with the dry goods when I spoke to him just now.

Old Buss said something homely to Jim and Kobe.

He even asked about Kobe's daughters.

The whole Du Kang doubted whether he was the successor of the Lakers, and Jim Shumao was a redundant foil.

"Mr. Bass, you are putting me under a lot of pressure."

Du Kang leaned against the wall and sighed.

but……

"What an old man full of wisdom."

Thinking of these two Jerry...

"Is this the greatest combination of the last era in the NBA?"

So scary...

……

……

Almost an hour later.

Bryant and Jim Shumai just came out of it.

Well, it was the nurse sister who went in to urge people.

Said that old Mr. Bath needs to rest, otherwise, it is estimated that old Mr. Bath can keep these two people until dawn.

In the end, they all began to urge Ke Lao to have a son and continue to be a Laker.

Where is the boss here?

This is dad.

I heard Corvo didn't have a good relationship with his own father.

Could it be that Corvo made the comparison himself?

With a perfect godfather like Old Bath, the real father is full of shortcomings no matter how you look at it.

groove!
In the future, Xiao Du will never allow such a powerful godfather!

"Du, in the next game, I want to give Dad a perfect finish, can it be done?"

Along the way, the three of them were very heavy, and in the end it was Jim Shushu who spoke first.

This is also the first time that Jim Solo begged him.

For the proud Jim Solo, could such a request be refused?
Perfect ending?

This is really a problem.

The hardest puzzles are the ones with no specific requirements.

but……

"Jim's request, no matter how difficult it is."

After Jim was taken aback for a moment, a smile finally appeared on his heavy face.

"Thank you."

At this moment, Kobe on the other side of Du Kang stopped.

"coach……"

Before Kobe could speak, Du Kang waved his hand and interrupted him.

"You don't have to ask me, you're not like Jim."

After Du Kang finished speaking with a smile, he took off the golden wristband on his wrist and called it to Kobe's hand.

"This is already prepared for you."

Du Kang patted Kobe on the shoulder.

"Don't bow your head, never, this is your pride, the pride of Mr. Buss, and the pride of the Lakers."

"..."

Looking at the figures of Du Kang and Jim Bass in front of him, Kobe's eyes widened.

Don't bow your head, never, this is your pride, the pride of Mr. Buss, and the pride of the Lakers...

With trembling hands, Kobe put the golden wristband on his wrist. The line of text on the wristband was so dazzling in the dim light.

sacrifice!

"Sacrifice...?"

Kobe closed his eyes.

"Thank you, Coach."

……

……

"Ding, your player Kobe Bryant's favorability for you has been adjusted to 90, please pay attention to check."

Old Ke, you can really do it.

Wheat is already 99, and you are just 90.

but……

very good already.

Three of the four defenders have a favorable opinion of him reaching 90.

Ok……

Why do you feel a little uncomfortable all of a sudden?
Am I obsessive compulsive disorder?

"Du, are you okay?"

"It's all right, by the way, Jim, Mr. Bass is 80 years old, isn't he?"

"Yes."

"For the next game, you ask the on-site staff to do something for me."

After Du Kang finished his request in Jim's ear, he was completely dumbfounded.

"How could the Celtics let Bryant get..."

Before Jim Shu could finish speaking, Du Kang covered his mouth in emptiness.

"Be careful that walls have ears."

……

……

"What did Dad say to Coach D tonight?"

"Jenny, Kobe and Jim have been guarding the door, our people can't get close."

"..."

Aunt Jenny's face is not very good-looking.

"What did Daddy and Kobe Jim say?"

"D, Coach D has been guarding the door, I, our people still can't get close."

"..."

"waste!"

Restless, Aunt Jenny was very restless at this time.

At this time, no one can not be anxious.

……

……

The next day, February 2013, 2.

On the day after the All-Star Weekend, all NBA teams were resting, but the Lakers returned to team training at the request of head coach Du Kang.

Faced with such an unkind request from Coach D for the first time, no Lakers player dared to resist.

There are so many big shots on the Lakers, the four guards, Nash, Howard, which one is not a big shot.

Even Gasol, Artest, and Jamison are all famous players in the NBA.

Maybe they are old and their strength is not at the peak, but their social status in the NBA is the highest.

For a famous coach like D'Antoni, it is difficult to get rid of Gasol.

In the end, I lost myself.

As for Du Kang, this is a one-time mess with everyone.

Moreover, the training ground of the Lakers was still unusually calm, and no one raised any objections.

However, one person was a little upset, but it wasn't because of Du Kang's displeasure.

In the All-Star game last night, with the help of Nash, Howard, who had just won the AMVP trophy, was originally in a good mood.

But seeing the golden wristband on Kobe's wrist, he was in a bad mood for an instant.

Nima's!
I knew it was those Boston reporters messing around, otherwise the coach wouldn't have given the magic weapon to this old guy!
It's all right now, this old guy will be superb in the next game!

Can't you just quietly listen to this old guy blacksmithing?

Why fight against this beast!
Boston Celtics, you wait for me!

In the next game, I want you to look good!

……

……

"Sure enough, old Mr. Bath is dead."

Rivers, who brought the Celtics to the Lakers, saw that the local news in Los Angeles was full of news that the old Bass would watch the game between the Lakers and the Celtics in the next game, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Lou, look at the names of these people in the newspapers, David Stern, Russell, Larry Bird, Jerry West, Magician, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Celtics and Lakers, the NBA All the senior officials are here."

So, then what?
"This is my best chance to be recognized by the world again!"

"..."

Just then, Rivers' phone rang.

one look.

Fake!

"Doug, no matter what means are used, the Celtics must win the next game!"

"..."

Danny Angie is a cunt!

　This is the second update today, thank you for your support (*^▽^*).
