Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 8 Corvo, you don't want to see the Lakers lose, do you?
"Isn't this simulation too immersive?"

Du Kang looked at the time on the watch and simulated it for 2 hours!
And it gave him the feeling that he directed the game between the Lakers and the Jazz on the spot!
In the end, under his leadership, the Lakers defeated the Jazz 102 to 84 at home.

For this result, Du Kang must be very dissatisfied.

Of course there is no problem for the Lakers to win.

But this way of winning is absolutely unacceptable to him.

This is his first game coaching the Lakers, and all the Lakers fans in Los Angeles and Lakers fans all over the world are watching.

His first game in charge will be crucial to his evaluation.

It absolutely can't be like a simulation, being led by the superstars in the team all the way.

If so, what is the difference between him and a chained dog?
Du Kang looked at the technical statistics of the players of the two teams after the game on the system panel.

The five stars of the Lakers, Kobe 10 of 7, 14 points, Howard 12 of 8, 17 points, Nash 11 of 6, 15 points, Artest 11 of 5 three-pointers, 17 points, Gasol 8 of 7 ,15 marks.

Just look at the data of the five Lakers stars.

In this game, although there is no tactical system, it depends on the star's instinct and its own characteristics to play, which is commonly known as Xia Ji Ba Da.

The end result was actually pretty good.

All five stars have played in very good condition and performance.

The Jazz, currently ranked eighth in the Western Conference with a record of 23 wins and 19 losses, was beaten by the Lakers with a current record of 17 wins and 25 losses.

It can only be said that D'Antoni's running and bombing pitted the Lakers.

For the current Lakers, a few blind hits are better than running and bombing.

As far as the strength of the Lakers lineup is concerned, as long as the head coach does not work hard, and the stars can always share the ball with each other like this game, not to mention the championship, at least, the eighth in the West, Al Jefferson, Mirza The Jazz, led by Pu, must be able to hang the hammer at home.

However, Lakers star, it is difficult to share the ball like this every game, right?

In this simulated game, the reason why Xia Ji's eight-player Lakers were willing to share the ball with each other was mainly because of Kobe.

Kobe played 35 minutes in this game, assisted 14 times, and took 10 shots.

Attracting double-teams to pass for Artest, for Howard, for Nash, for Gasol, this is definitely not typical of Kobe.

"It may be that Kobe thinks that my head coach is too good. If he doesn't play perfectly, the Lakers can't win. Kobe wants to win too much."

Thinking of this, Du Kang smiled.

The game between the Lakers and the Jazz is a card battle in the Western Conference playoffs.

湖人17胜25负西部十三，爵士23胜19负西部第八，双方差了6个胜场。

If the Lakers lose, it will be 7 and a half games, and it is basically impossible to catch up.

Therefore, the Lakers must win this game.

The game must be won, and the head coach is too good. This kind of huge pressure forced out the "reasonable science" that if you want to rely on the strength of your teammates, you must play perfectly.

Du Kang never thought before that his food would actually have a promotional effect on Kobe.

only……

"How can a reasonable team lead the team to win, and how can he highlight the role of his head coach?"

If this game really becomes a reality, others will definitely say that even with a dog on the Lakers bench, they are better than D'Antoni.

The media can say that D'Antoni is not as good as a dog.

But he must not be equal to a dog.

He doesn't want to be a dog. Being a dog is impossible to become a regular.

and so……

"Must live!"

What kind of science, what kind of unity of the Lakers, all of them have to go!
Kobe must not integrate the Lakers by sacrificing himself!

This game must highlight his role as the head coach!

In this game, he must be a blockbuster!
Everyone needs to see that the Lakers would have lost the game against the Jazz if it wasn't for him and someone like Du!
Chatting, you don't want to see the Lakers fall in the future, do you?
So, Corvo, I can only suffer you first.

After setting the tone for doing things, how to implement it?

Here comes the question, how to prevent reasonable subjects from appearing, how to make Kobe take the lead, and how can the Lakers intrigue again?
With this in mind, Du Kang came to the coaching interface.

Will Kobe be removed from the starting lineup?

With this move, Kobe must be on top, the kind with blood red eyes.

"Ding, Kobe refused to substitute, the adjustment failed."

Sure enough, many adjustments cannot be made with his acting head coach authority.

At the very least, it is absolutely impossible to let Kobe come off the bench.

I'm afraid it won't work even if I become a regular.

So what about reducing Kobe's rotation time?
"Ding, Kobe refused to play only 6 minutes in the first quarter, the adjustment failed."

"Ding, Kobe refused to play only 9 minutes in the first quarter, the adjustment failed."

"Ding, Kobe refused any adjustments that could not be played in the third quarter, and the adjustments failed."

……

……

"Ding, Kobe refused any adjustment you made to him regarding playing time, the adjustment failed."

"Fuck, Corvo, do you now feel that any adjustments I make to you are deceiving you?"

Du Kang laughed angrily at this moment.

In fact, he really wanted to trick Lao Ke.

And Kobe didn't have any trust in him.

Kobe's favorability for him is -100.

With such a good impression, it is naturally impossible to have trust.

For Kobe now, my fate is up to me, and no one can be relied on except himself.

This is indeed the case in practice.

In order to become a regular, he, the head coach, has to make trouble.

Those teammates of Kobe Bryant, each with their own ulterior motives, don't necessarily want to win.

65% of the Lakers' management want to lose, and more and more management want the Lakers to lose, can you believe it?
Such a Lakers is a hell mode for the head coach Du Kang.

This is not the case for Kobe.

It just so happened that he and Kobe both wanted the Lakers to win.

Here comes the drama.

Both he and Kobe's goal is to hope that the Lakers are good.

But by mistake, they became rivals.

Mainly Kobe put him on the opposite side.

And he, in order to become a regular, also needs to cheat Kobe.

It's just so dramatic.

"Okay, Corvo, I can't adjust you, and I can't adjust others?"

Among the five star players of the Lakers, Kobe Bryant has the lowest affection for him, and he also resists him the most.

The other four...

This is what their player cards look like.

Nash: I'm confused about the status quo, maybe it's time to say goodbye, and I wish Mike good luck.

Favorability towards you: 0 (Ding, the character of a good old man, the lowest is 0)

Gasol: Disappointed with the status quo of the Lakers, D'Antoni finally got out, hoping to sign another big contract with the Lakers, but why haven't they approached me yet?

Favorability towards you: 10 (I heard that you drove D'Antoni away?)
Howard: I am proud of the status quo. Jim Buss broke his promise to me and did not let me become the boss of the Lakers. I will definitely leave the Lakers next season.

Favorability towards you: 50 (I heard that you drove away D'Antoni, I heard that you are the most hated person by Kobe and Lakers fans.)
Artest: Satisfied with the status quo, Los Angeles is really good.

Favorability towards you: 0 (I heard that you are from Jim Buss, unfortunately, you can’t bully the rookie coach.)
Kobe's rotation time bar cannot be moved.

Whether it is to increase or decrease time for Kobe, it cannot be moved.

The other five Lakers stars can move.

Except Howard.

Gasol and Nash and Artest, he can even put them on the bench.

"Ding, Nash is disappointed that you asked him to be a substitute for this game, but his character and professionalism made him choose to accept it, and his favorability for you has declined. Are you sure you want Nash to be a substitute?"

no!
"Ding, Gasol was disappointed that you asked him to play as a substitute in this game, but in order to stay in the Lakers and get a big contract, he didn't dare to offend Jim Buss' cronies, so he chose to accept it. Decline, are you sure you want Gasol as a substitute?"

no!
"Ding, Charity World Peace is angry that you let him play as a substitute in this game, but in order to stay in Los Angeles, he didn't want to offend the people of Jim Buss, so he chose to be patient for a while, and his favorability dropped sharply. Are you sure? Philanthropic world peace substitute?"

no!
Du Kang really didn't expect that not only the assistant coach Darwin Hamm, in the eyes of the Lakers' stars, he was also a member of Jim Shu.

If it wasn't for Jim Shu, apart from Nash, an honest man, he, the acting head coach, wouldn't be able to move anyone, right?

However, if it is just to adjust the playing time of these stars, it should still be impossible to let Corvo get ahead, right?
Thinking of this, Du Kang chose to turn the page.

"what?"

The second page of coaching is called Simulation Focus.

And there are some options under the emulation focus.

First Score Choice: No Preference
Second Score Choice: No Preference
Third Score Choice: No Preference
There are actually some options below, such as offensive focus, offensive rhythm, defensive focus, defensive aggressiveness, defensive rebounding and other options.

But these options are irrelevant.

Du Kang's bright eyes now are all on these three scoring options.

"Ding, Kobe refuses you to set him as the first scoring option. He doesn't think it has any meaning for the victory of this game."

Sure enough, Kobe, who had a -100 favorability with him, really refused any adjustments from him.

"Ding, Howard is surprised that you set him as the first scoring option in this game, and he thinks it is very reasonable. He can beat Al Jefferson. Howard chooses to accept the adjustment and implement this adjustment in the next game. Howard is right. Your favorability has increased, may I ask if this is adjusted?"

Yes!
After Du Kang clicked, Howard's name appeared on the first scoring option.

"It's not over yet!"

Immediately afterwards, Du Kang put Gasol's name on the second scoring option.

"Ding, Gasol is satisfied with the fact that you put him as the second scoring option in this game, and feels reasonable. He can beat Millsap on the offensive end. Pau Gasol accepts adjustments. Is that the case? Adjustment?"

Yes.

Gasol did not increase his favorability because of this adjustment. After all, he was only the second scoring option, and Gasol used to be the second leader.

Du Kang wasn't too disappointed, he was lucky.

and……

"The main event is coming!"

Du Kang expected to put Kobe's name on the third scoring option!
"Ding, Kobe is shocked and angry that you put him on the third scoring option in this game. He feels humiliated by you. If you insist on implementing this adjustment in the next game, Kobe will not implement your adjustment as the third. Choose to attack, and the favorability of you will drop sharply, Ding, Kobe’s favorability for you is already -100, and the drop is invisible, do you want to implement this adjustment?"

Yes!
It doesn't matter whether Kobe executes or not, all he wants is to anger my department!
The team may not choose to focus on offense, but if it does, the first choice must not be someone else!
"My brother, be angry, get on top!"

As long as he wins, as long as he shows value, no matter how angry Kobe is, no matter how low his favorability is, he will not let him go, because everyone wants to win Kobe!

And he can bring Kobe a victory!
Anyway, Kobe no longer has any good feelings for him, this is called breaking and then standing!
In addition to adjusting the team's offensive selection focus this time, Du Kang set the tactical system to none and played a few blindly.

Playing blindly is the most powerful tactic after Kobe came to the top, and it may also be the most harmful tactic!

"Ding, confirm the consumption of 100MP to simulate the game between the Jazz and the Lakers."

"Ding, please choose to re-simulate, or simulate from a certain moment of the last simulation?"

Huh?
Du Kang was stunned for a moment.

In other words, the simulated game can still be saved?
This is good news, it can reduce his repeated consumption in the future.

This time, however, it is not necessary to start the simulation from a certain point in the previous game.

"restart!"

Familiar boos, familiar Staples, the game starts again!
After two hours, Du Kang's face turned dark when he saw the final result of the game.

106 to 100, the Lakers still won.

Moreover, Kobe scored 34 of 17 in the game and scored 50 points. In the fourth quarter, he scored 20 points and led the team to win.

In this simulated game, Kobe was on top, with 24 of 8 in the first three quarters, and everything in the first three quarters was under Du Kang's control.

Bryant's poor performance, he commanded the team to let Howard and Gasol barely support the main attack, the two sides played inextricably.

But in the fourth quarter of the game, Kobe suddenly exploded and led the Lakers to win.

"Kobe's obsession to win this game is too strong!"

If the simulation ends with such a process and result.

In the end, Kobe must still be a great hero, and his head coach is still a dog.

This will not work!
"Re-simulate, start the simulation from the fourth quarter of the previous simulation game!"

"Damn it, Kobe exploded again!"

"Continue to re-simulate, or start the simulation from the fourth quarter of the last game!"

I don't believe it, Corvo, you can explode in the fourth quarter three times in a row!
Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Finally, to succeed!
"Damn it, I was killed!"

The Jazz's last attack was not Millsap, who seemed to have a chance to be covered by Howard in the middle distance, but the substitute teenager Gordon Hayward!
Du Kang looked at the Jazz players such as Millsap and Hayward celebrating wildly on the big screen with a livid face...

Du Kang gritted his teeth and looked at the No. 20 young player of the Jazz.

It's 100MP again!
My little money!

Gordon Hayward, right? Humph!

"Continue, from the last 13 seconds of the fourth quarter of the last game!"
