Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 98 Carter, do you see the power of my dunk!
Silver Steel Knee: After the player equips it, the durability of both knees will be permanently fixed at 85. After the equipment is removed, it will return to its original state. Equipping time: one week.

After equipping Carter with steel knees, the three physical attributes of Carter's speed, explosion, and jumping skyrocketed instantly.

At the same time, attributes such as defensive stability, offensive stability, inside defense, outside defense, fadeaway jumper, mid-range shot, three-point shooting, and close-range shooting have also increased to varying degrees.

This is easy to understand.

The importance of knees to players is self-evident. If the knees are not good, they dare not exert force, not only dare not run, dare not jump, shoot, defend, and dare not do all kinds of actions on the court.

Therefore, after Carter's knee was restored to health, Carter's ability was directly adjusted from 86 to 90.

Among them, the speed and explosion all reached 85, the bounce even reached 90, and even the stamina increased by 1 point, from 84 to 85.

几个杜康最关注的属性变化，卡特的三分从88提升到了90，卡特的进攻稳定性从85提升到了87，外线防守从80提升到了85，防守稳定性从80提升到了85。

Cooperate with the 43 skills that Carter currently possesses.

Carter is now undoubtedly the strongest 3D player on the Lakers.

The Lakers also finally have their first and only 3-and-D player.

The strongest 3D of the Lakers before was Artest.

Well, Artest is now the kind of flawed 3D, he can't guard against the fast ones, and the three-pointer is the same as the Liumai Excalibur.

How can Carter's current attributes look comfortable?

What's more, Carter is not just a 3D.

It's just because the Lakers have Kobe and the United Arab Emirates in singles.

The organization has Nash, wheat, and Kobe.

So Carter usually doesn't need him to play singles in the Lakers.

As a super-all-star superstar player with an overall rating of 90 with extremely comprehensive skills, if Carter is really going to be singled out, there must be nothing wrong with it.

In short, now that there is such a Carter whose knee has recovered, the Lakers' flank is finally no longer an existence that Rudy Gay can kill casually.

"Coach, is my knee healed for good?"

"Not really."

Du Kang's words made the excited Carter a little regretful, but he was not disappointed. It would be strange if he could recover forever.

"However, as long as you stay with the Lakers, I will give you acupuncture after each game to ensure that your knee will remain in this state until you retire. There will be no problem at all."

"Coach, do you think you can maintain it until you retire?!"

Du Kang saw Carter who was excited again, and said with a smile: "Does Vince think I'm a braggart?"

"Of course not, you are the most honest person in the world!"

Look, that's not what I said.

Hearing Carter's undisguised praise for Du Kang at this time, the surrounding Lakers players were really envious and jealous.

They also want to praise Du Kang!

But, in the Lakers, even Gasol and Artest are not qualified to tout Coach D now!
It can only be said that Dukang's current MP and resources are indeed not enough, and Pratt & Whitney cannot reach all players.

This still made Du Kang feel a little regretful.

This season, the Lakers players are so obedient, one by one for him and Aunt Jenny's power is clearly cut off.

He actually wanted to give every player a small gift.

What's more, with the 15 Lakers players now, after Howard's favorability for him reached 80, Du Kang also achieved the achievement of all Lakers' favorability reaching 80.

Leading the team to 30 consecutive victories, during which they have been in a big rotation. All the players in the Lakers have the opportunity to play, and everyone has the opportunity to show themselves.

As the head coach, Du Kang has a very high internal evaluation of the Lakers.

"Coach, you have even solved the UFO's knee problem, and my shooting problem, when will you let me solve it..."

Howard looked at Du Kang resentfully.

In other words, it has become a routine for Howard to act like a baby to Du Kang from time to time on the training ground, and the Lakers players present have long seen it.

In fact, Howard doesn't have much hope every time he "acts like a baby" like this. His shooting is indeed not so easy to solve.

Free throws, mid-range shots, and three-pointers, this is a holy book for him.

Therefore, Howard, who had finished acting like a baby, was ready to accept Du Kang's 'rebuke' again.

But this time...

"It's almost there, Dwight, do you want to give priority to free throws, short shots, mid-range shots or three-pointers?"

Free throws, close shots, mid-range shots, three-pointers?
Of course it's a free throw!

Coach, do you know how miserable I was tormented by free throws?
Just when Howard was about to blurt out, Clifford tugged on Howard's sleeve.

Then he made a 3 gesture to Howard.

"Coach, I want to improve my three-point shooting ability! Please help me design a three-point shooting training method!"

Du Kang smiled.

"The best choice, yes."

For Howard, it's hard to say which is better, free throws or three-pointers.

But for the Lakers, a Howard with an 85-attribute three-pointer is definitely more useful than a Howard with an 85-attribute free throw ability.

Howard, who has a good three-point shooting ability, can open up the offensive space for the Lakers, which is of greater tactical significance.

Kobe, Iverson, Carter, McGrady, Nash, UAE, they will have more room to attack.

"Coach, you sure won't lie to the most loyal person in the world, right?"

"will not."

Du Kang finished speaking.

"Ding, your player Dwight Howard's favorability for you has been adjusted to 85, please check it."

What the hell!

Are you so realistic, kid?

Du Kang smiled.

The silver-level potential card was used on Howard's three-pointer attribute.

The next step is to use MP to improve Howard's three-pointer attributes.

Now Howard's three-pointer has potential, so the use of MP is halved.

To increase Howard's three-pointers from 30 to 85, the required MP is 3000MP.

Now Dukang has accumulated 8 MP after the crazy accumulation of MP in the previous 6155 games.

"Ding, your player Dwight Howard's three-point shooting ability attribute has been adjusted to 85. The method of training and activating the attribute has been released, please pay attention to check."

Training method: the person who is hated the most (Kobe), the person who shoots the most hate (Kobe), the more times you shoot and get shot, the more attributes you activate, the number of shots and being shot at the same time reaches 10 times, permanently fixed at 85, Shooting and being shot more than 10000 times at the same time, temporarily reaching 85, and there is no mutual shooting for more than three days, and the attribute is reduced a little every day until it reaches the real level.

"..."

Seeing this training method, Du Kang was stunned.

10 mutual shots?

20 shots, assuming 2000 shots per day, it will take 100 days.

Wouldn't it be that if Howard didn't shoot enough shots with Kobe and then separated, Howard's three-pointers would slowly return to the original point?

and so……

What is the principle of this?

"Coach, are you okay?"

Howard, who was always next to Du Kang, thought it was too difficult to teach himself three-pointers, and Du Kang couldn't do it anymore, so he asked with concern.

"The training method is promising, but, Dwight, are you willing to try?"

Howard felt very strange about Du Kang's question.

you still need to ask?

Of course I am willing!

As long as you can learn three points, you can go up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire!
Soon, Howard knew why the coach asked this question.

"Bryant, Dwight, from now on, you will shoot each other three-pointers every day, at least 500 times a day, and there is no upper limit."

After Du Kang brought Kobe and Howard together, the other Lakers players on the scene were dumbfounded.

"Is the coach really going to teach Dwight three-pointers, or is it to improve the relationship between Bryant and Howard?"

"I don't know, if it's someone else, I definitely think it's improving the relationship, but this is the coach!"

"makes sense."

For a while, the Lakers players began to whisper.

In fact, Howard also thinks so.

If it is another head coach, he must feel that he is overwhelmed and wants to improve his relationship with Kobe.

But this is the coach!

This is the coach who trained Nash's defense!
Coach D who can convince him!

If it is another head coach.

He wouldn't let Kobe shoot.

But if it's Coach D.

"Kobe, don't act like a jerk, take the ball, come on, shoot me!"

"..."

Falk? !
Seeing Howard gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, looking like he was enjoying himself if he couldn't resist, Kobe was dumbfounded.

Why are these words so familiar?
Isn't that what I scolded him at the beginning?
Thinking of this, Kobe casually picked up the basketball on the basketball stand next to him, and shot at Howard.

A swipe!
Kobe felt that his three-pointers were so strong.

Nima's Kobe, you wait for me!

Wait a minute and watch me shoot you!

After Kobe shot [-] shots, it was Howard's turn to shoot Kobe.

then……

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Seeing the smile on Kobe's face, Howard was dumbfounded.

The smile on Kobe's face at this time, in Howard's heart, was definitely a mocking smile.

Fake!

Why is my three-pointer so bad!

If my three-pointers are good, I will definitely be able to shoot Kobe to tears!

After shooting 100 goals, Howard made much more iron than he scored.

"Come on, shoot me!"

"..."

Kobe was speechless again.

Looking at Kobe and Howard who were going to form a team for training at Du Kang's request, some Lakers players next to them laughed like crazy.

Of course, I dare not laugh directly, but just laugh in my heart.

Du Kang was relieved after watching Howard and Kobe were indeed training seriously at his own request.

Looking forward to the day when Howard's three-pointer attribute reaches 85.

As long as 85 mutual shots can temporarily reach [-], this is still very fast.

According to the current situation where Howard and Kobe regard each other as enemies, they shot so fiercely.

A week or so is about the same.

"Du, can you really practice Dwight's three-pointer?"

"What does Steve think?"

"I am now very much looking forward to the day when Du takes us to the top of the NBA championship."

Clifford didn't answer directly, but the answer was self-evident.

"Du, before I became your assistant coach, I never thought that one day I would become the coach of a team with 30 consecutive victories in the NBA. Do you know the difference between 20 consecutive victories and [-] consecutive victories?"

Clifford looked at Du Kang respectfully.

But Du Kang nodded.

"I know that all the teams in the NBA that have won 30 consecutive victories in the regular season have finally won the championship."

Yes, including this Lakers, there are two 30-win teams in NBA history.

The last one has already won the championship.

Therefore, when the Lakers led by Du Kang achieved 30 consecutive victories in the regular season, public opinion in the United States changed.

Before the Lakers won three consecutive victories, few teams would associate the Lakers with the championship.

As long as their heads are not dizzy, no one will believe that such a team of veterans can reach the finals and win the championship.

There is no theoretical support.

But now, everything is different.

No need for theoretical support, 30 consecutive victories is the best basis for support.

Just like a team becoming the second team with more than 70 wins in the regular season, if this team does not win the championship, it is a failure.

The second 30-game winning streak team or the second 70-win team, which one is more valuable?

Maybe 30 consecutive victories will be more than 70 wins.

Therefore, after the Lakers achieve 30 consecutive victories, even those media who don't believe that the Lakers can win the championship will eventually bring up the possibility of the Lakers winning the championship for everyone to discuss.

You don't believe the Lakers can compete for the title.

But it is impossible to avoid the possibility of the Lakers competing for the championship now.

Therefore, now the Lakers have successfully joined the group of the Heat, Thunder and Spurs, becoming the fourth favorite in the NBA.

At the same time, it is also the most fierce team under discussion now.

"At this moment, I am glad that most of my players are veterans over the age of 30."

Faced with such turbulent public opinion, if the Lakers are a group of young people, they will be fooled, and they will definitely be fooled.

In fact, after he became the head coach of the Lakers this season, the public opinion around the Lakers has been crazy.

If it weren't for the fact that the Lakers are full of battle-tested veterans, the Lakers would have collapsed in such public opinion.

At this moment, Du Kang once again felt the fragrance of the veterans.

This is also very reassuring.

If the Lakers are a young team.

The most important thing Du Kang does every day is to give the Lakers players psychological massage.

This can't destroy Dukang?
"Du, we still have 10 games left. Do you think we can become the first team in NBA history to win 40 consecutive victories?"

"Who knows."

"No, I think you can!"

What the hell!

Hamm next to him was stunned.

Is this still the reserved thick-browed guy from before?

This flattery is absolutely perfect!
The Lakers' current record is 47 wins and 25 losses, currently ranked sixth in the Western Conference.

Now the top five teams in the Western Conference, the Thunder is 51 wins and 19 losses, and the Spurs are 53 wins and 17 losses. The two teams are ranked second and first.

之后是47胜22负的灰熊，48胜23负的掘金，47胜23负的快船。

The Warriors behind the Lakers ranked seventh in the Western Conference with 41 wins and 30 losses.

The Rockets ranked eighth in the Western Conference with 39 wins and 31 losses.

The Jazz, the ninth in the Western Conference, has 34 wins and 36 losses and is now behind.

The situation in the west is now very clear.

The Jazz basically have no playoff chances.

The Warriors and Rockets began to compete for the seventh place in the Western Conference.

Of course, the Warriors still have a 2-game advantage, but the Warriors' schedule is relatively more difficult.

At the same time, the third, fourth and fifth rankings in the West did indeed show a plot where the Nuggets began to overtake.

For a time, the situation in the Western Conference playoffs became one.

On the contrary, the Lakers, the sixth in the Western Conference, are a bit hopeless, looking at the sea.

There are still 10 games left in the end. If the Lakers want to catch up with the Nuggets, Grizzlies, and Clippers, any three teams need to ensure that they do not lose in the next game.

As long as this can be done, the Lakers can become the spoiler of the final Western Conference rankings.

But can the Lakers do it?

"Bobo, you are looking at the Lakers' schedule. The Lakers, who have won 30 consecutive victories, have touched the possibility of the top three in the Western Conference. Do you think the Lakers will become the last spoiler?"

Could the Lakers be the spoiler in the final Spurs strategy?

Popovich smiled.

"The Lakers' opponent in the last game of the regular season is us."

Hearing this, Budenholzer also smiled.

Yes, the fate of the Lakers is ultimately in the hands of the Spurs.

"I hope that by then, the Lakers will have won 39 consecutive victories, so that game will be more interesting."

Because of the bombardment of public opinion across the United States, Popovich has been paying attention to Du Kang and the Lakers.

At the same time, Du Kang is actually also concerned about the Spurs.

After all, the Spurs are Du Kang's second-round opponent.

What Du Kang is most concerned about now is the dynamics of the Spurs.

As for the entanglement between the Nuggets, the Grizzlies and the Clippers, he didn't really care that much.

After all, Du Kang has already determined that the Nuggets can rush to third in the West.

"Steve, do you think it is possible that the fate of the Spurs will finally be in our hands?"

"Du, you mean, Popovich is hesitating now?"

Sure enough, talking to smart people is easy.

Popovich is indeed hesitant now.

The Lakers rushed too hard.

30 consecutive victories, Popovich and the Spurs don't pay attention at all, that's impossible.

"If we are exhausted, he will leave the Lakers to himself and lose to us. If the Lakers are still in full swing, he will leave our possible X factor to the Thunder. If we need to win to give us Thunder, he will definitely beat us down in that game."

"You're right."

What the hell!

Hearing the conversation between Du Kang and Clifford, Hamm next to him was really dumbfounded.

Why do you see so far?
Why can't I?

Ham recently felt that he was under more and more pressure as the chief assistant coach beside Du Kang and Clifford.

Obviously, his chief assistant coach is just making up the numbers.

Clifford is Du's chief of staff!
As the chief teaching assistant, he couldn't even get into the topic.

This is too uncomfortable.

March 2013, 3, 25:10 p.m., Oracle Arena, Oakland.

The game between the Lakers sixth in the West and the Warriors seventh in the West is about to start.

Because the Lakers achieved a 30-game winning streak, this game that should not have received so much attention was full of attention in an instant.

Let's put it this way, as long as the Lakers don't lose, every next game will be the game with the highest attention!

This made James in front of the TV uncomfortable.

The MVP battle between him and Durant has reached a fever pitch.

The media campaign is needed.

Now that the media is promoting the Lakers, the attention of the MVP battle between him and Durant has been greatly reduced. In the end, if he votes directly, based on his performance this season, it may be extremely difficult to win the MVP again.

Ugh……

When will Coach D lose the game?

When will the Lakers lose?

For James, he really looks forward to the Lakers losing every day.

This is looking forward to, looking forward to the Lakers' [-]-game winning streak.

This is too uncomfortable.

On TV, James was really envious of the camera reporters surrounding the stadium.

Just in terms of the number of camera reporters on the scene, I am afraid it has surpassed the finals in previous years.

It's also incredible.

The scene at the Oracle Center.

Because the Lakers and Warriors have many origins, they were very harmonious before the game.

Before the game started, Du Kang took the initiative to find Jerry West, the senior consultant of the Warriors, to exchange greetings.

"Jerry, let's make a bet, if I can bring the Lakers to break your winning streak that year, can you go back to the Lakers?"

"Mitch and Jim are doing great with the Lakers and don't need my help."

Jerry West said with a smile that it is impossible for a good horse to turn back.

"Jerry, you misunderstood, I mean, you come back and be my player."

"..."

Such an elegant and wise person as Jerry West was stunned at this time.

The magician next to him couldn't laugh or cry.

It really is you, Coach D who always likes to invite celebrities to come back!

The famous Lakers have been invited by Coach D all over the place.

"Coach D, you are too good at joking."

"Don't Jerry think the joke is funny?"

"Very interesting."

Jerry West nodded with a smile.

Looking at Du Kang, who was talking and laughing with Jerry West and the magician at this time, the head coach of the Warriors, Mark Jackson, was so fucking envious.

For some reason, he always felt that Jerry West looked down on him, and he was shivering when he was asked to be the coach of the Warriors.

On the side of the players on both sides.

Carter was without a doubt the pre-game favorite.

The Warriors' North Carolina Eagle Harrison Barnes is his North Carolina junior.

Curry, the boss of the Warriors, is Carter's eldest nephew.

"Mr. Carter, what do you think of my dunk? Mighty or not!"

Curry, who likes to play mid-circle shots before the game, actually stopped playing mid-circle shots before the game and played slam dunks instead.

After blowing in front of Carter, Curry received a pass from Chaser Green, hit the basket, and was about to dunk with one hand when he slipped and fell.

For a moment, hahahaha laughter came from the entire Oracle Arena. Most of the Warriors fans were laughing, and a small number of old Warriors fans were about to cry. Our boss, why is he such a living treasure!

Then, the second head of the Warriors, Klay Thompson, after laughing, pulled Curry up, and he was going to pay tribute to Carter for a signature dunk in front of Carter.

Let's put it this way, in the NBA, as long as you like dunks, no one doesn't like Carter, and no one can resist the temptation to show dunks in front of Carter.

"Stephen, yours won't work, UFO, look at mine."

Klay Thompson smiled and slowly dribbled the ball into the three-point line, stepped on the free throw line, started to accelerate, took off, turned 360 degrees, and dunked!

Clang!
It didn't hit a dunk, but it hit the front of the basket directly, and Klay Thompson was bounced off by the rebound of the basket.

Seeing this scene, Curry, who failed to dunk just now, was already laughing.

Even Carter was amused by these two live treasures at this time.

This is the dunk result of your hard training for half a year?
Carter didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Anyway, Du Kang not far away must have smiled.

The head coach of the Warriors, Mark Jackson, next to Du Kang, was not very good-looking.

"I really want to trade these two live treasures!"
