Chapter 327 Nash Returns
"Steve?"

Mike De'Antoni was stunned, looking at the best apprentice in his coaching career, his expression gave people a slightly complicated feeling.

In particular, Steve Nash's haggard and lonely look touched D'Antoni the most, and he felt a little indebted to him for being true.

To know.

Together, their master and apprentice once created an incomparable brilliance for them, but even though it passed by like a comet, only they knew how wonderful that feeling was.

nowadays.

When he defeated countless contenders and finally became the coach of the Lakers, the first thing he thought of was this lover.

at first.

When he saw what he wanted and the superstars given by the team, D'Antoni seemed to have seen the championship beckoning to him.

But he never thought that the Lakers, who once again gathered the four kings, would have an unacceptable ending again.

Kobe Bryant, the team's No. [-] shooting guard after Jordan, once led the team to the finals with a single core. Dwight Howard, who is known as a single-for-LeBron James, led the Suns together with him. The league's Zonda, Steve Nash, and the Spanish king Pau Gasol, and even the defensive giant Artest and other top role players, in the end the team gave him a huge blow Just kidding, they barely made it to the playoffs at the last minute.

This result made D'Antoni very, very unwilling, very, very disappointed and angry!
With such a perfect lineup and a tactical master like him, why does the team still play such a poor game and record?
Why did the Lakers, who should have been called the pride of heaven, and the biggest favorites to win this season, end up in this end?

He doesn't understand!
He can't accept it!
But the reality is like this, for the time being it comes down to running-in?Due to injuries?
FUCK! !
D'Antoni clenched his fists, but finally ended his damn association with a curse that only dared to rage in his heart.

"Mike?" Steve Nash greeted him with a smile like a refined gentleman.

D'Antoni squeezed out a slightly bitter smile, shook his head and said: "You should continue to truce, it will be good for your career."

Nash smiled sarcasticly, sweeping away the loneliness and exhaustion before, and said like a friend for many years: "You know I never want to sit and watch my teammates fight on the court. I know my body best."

oh~~
D'Antoni sighed secretly, shook his head unhappily, and asked, "Did the team doctor pass?"

Nash nodded with a smile, then looked at the court, and said thoughtfully: "The Rockets are the most incredible team this season! They have one of the strongest sharp knives in the league, and they even have a terrifying head. Super beast!"

What do you mean?
D'Antoni's eyelids twitched. Could it be that his beloved apprentice "betrayed"?

Nash continued: "But the knife is always unstable. The beast is fierce. Why aren't we good hunters?"

Call ~
D'Antoni let out his suffocated breath and asked tentatively: "So, what do you mean?"

Nash turned to look at him: "Teaming is one of them. It may be a good choice not to give others room to play and let the beast bite."

D'Antoni was startled for a moment, then his eyes widened, and he said excitedly: "Yes! Why didn't I think of it??"

Nash said dumbfoundingly: "Mike, there is an old Chinese saying that the bystander is the one who loses the authority."

incredible.

D'Antoni gave a thumbs up without hesitation. Nash's seemingly small talk really made him open the knot.

As Nash said.

As long as they can lock Harden as much as possible and entangle other role players incidentally, no matter how abnormal Qin Tao's talent and ability are, can he still be as strong as a crazy behemoth like Chamberlain?
Even if Qin Tao can score [-] points on his own like Chamberlain, if there is no one else to help him, can't the Lakers get [-] or even more points?

As the old saying goes, basketball is never a one-person game, but a competitive event in which five players work together!

change!
The established tactics must be changed!
D'Antoni did what he said, stopped the training game on the field, glanced at Nash beside him, and quickly arranged for his players.

Regarding this arrangement, the players also seem to have suddenly realized. After all, they are all professional players, and everyone knows what kind of results such an arrangement will have.

of course.

This has to be under the condition that everything is going well, after all, no one can tell the changes on the court.

After finishing the arrangements and training for the next game, the Lakers returned to the Toyota Center after two days of rest, preparing for the second playoff game with the Rockets.

The guest commentators for this game are still the golden combination of the three of O'Neal, Van Gundy and Drexler.

The referees on the field seem to have been arranged long before the series, and they were still a trio headed by the bald referee Crawford.

When the players of the two teams stepped out of the player channel one after another, the fans who had enjoyed countless victories this season expressed their excitement to their home team with the most enthusiastic cheers.

players bench.

McHale looked at the Lakers in surprise. He was really surprised by the mental outlook of this team.

According to his understanding, although losing the first game would not make the Lakers extremely frustrated, it is absolutely impossible to have such a strong desire to fight.

Especially after the appearance of Steve Nash, McHale felt an uncomfortable feeling in his heart.

Well known.

As a pure point guard, Steve Nash's defense is not very good because of his size and physical fitness, but in terms of offense and organization, even at the age of 38, he is still very good. One of the league's top organizers.

Especially his elusive passing is often because of his passing, causing cracks in the opponent's seemingly tight defense, or even tearing the passing directly to him to pieces!

so.

With McHale's coaching experience and years of intuition on the court, he immediately saw the difference in the Lakers.

Did they get any special weapons for this game?

McHale thought to himself solemnly.

But as the players from both sides began the appearance ceremony, followed by the warm-up, this had to suppress his speculation for the time being.

this match.

The main force of the Rockets has not changed at all, and it is still the same set they have used since the beginning of the season.

However, the Lakers did not continue their lineup from the previous game, and there have been quite a few changes.

The center is still Howard, the power forward is still Gasol, but at the small forward and shooting guard, D'Antoni is obviously bigger but much bigger.

He has always been pressed on the bench, Antawn Jamison, who is the core of the bench, was directly put on the starting lineup by him in this game.

It stands to reason that he played small forward, so Artest would naturally be a sharp knife in the position, but D'Antoni arranged for Andrew Goodlock, a second-year student.

But the one who surprised the home fans the most must be the older and more demonic Steve Nash.

When his name was played on the big screen, the entire arena unexpectedly cheered.

This shows how popular his style of play is.
