Tyrone Corbin's magical winning tactics failed to save the Jazz from defeat.
Du Kang's bold use of players and Nash Fulin's thoughtful behind-the-scenes blocks saved the Lakers' victory in this game.
In the first game of his coaching career, the Lakers' rookie coach Du Kang used an almost dream coaching to save the Los Angeles Lakers' playoff hopes.
After winning this game, the 18-25 Lakers are still 5 games behind the 23-20 Jazz.
The gap is still huge, but it seems we can still catch up.
At the very least, the Lakers' dream victory brought hope to everyone.
"We can win even games where Kobe makes 10 of 32 shots. When Kobe gets back to his form, we can beat every team in the league!"
After the game, every Los Angeles Lakers fan on the Internet confidently looked at the technical statistics on the web page.
"When this rookie coach leads the team, I can feel that we are a five-star Lakers. Even if Kobe is strong, we still have four stars!"
"D'Antoni, come here and take a look and learn from us. Howard, Nash, Gasol, Artest, these people you don't use well, all performed well under the rookie coach!"
"What a rookie coach! Risby! Call him Coach D!"
"Wow, this nickname given by little Van Gundy is really good. It's catchy and easy to say!"
A lot of people are paying attention to this crucial battle between the Lakers and Jazz for a spot in the Western Conference playoffs.
The impact of such an extremely exciting game is naturally immeasurable.
The game is not over yet. On Twitter, Lakers, Kobe, Coach D, rookie coach, Nash, Howard and other words related to the Lakers are crazily dropping into the rankings and flooding the screen like crazy.
It can only be said that Du Kang made the right choice.
The first time is always the most important.
If he relies on superstars to win his first game, he will be labeled a 'leash coach'.
No matter how much you win, your evaluation will not be high.
Now, no matter whether you like him or not, whether you think he is really capable or just relying on luck.
At least, no one will regard him as the kind of 'leash coach' who relies on superstars to win games.
At least, the evaluation of him in this game is as good as heaven!
After winning a few more games, he can be labeled as a strong player.
It is also easier to become a regular employee.
Do not believe?
Listen, this sound is the cheers of Los Angeles!
…
…
"Well done Dwight, you are the tallest man in the world tonight."
"Hahahaha, coach, you are the bravest and most visionary basketball coach I have ever seen in the world!"
Du Kang smiled and patted Howard on the back, then hugged another Lakers player who was walking towards him.
"You let me see the best shot blocking in NBA history. You made me feel the great spiritual power of basketball. This is the charm of basketball. Steve, you made me love basketball even more. Thank you."
"No, coach, I am the one who should say thank you. Thank you, coach, for letting me play the game that I am most proud of in my career. Thank you, thank you very much, coach..."
Looking at Nash who was hugged hard by Du Kang, his voice was choked, his eyes were red, and his speech was incoherent.
Lakers assistant coach Darwin Hamm, who was following Du Kang, was stunned.
Is this Coach Du, who looks pink and has a completely black cut?
Is this the eloquence of top students from the UCLA School of Business and Economics who are supposed to be on Wall Street?
This emotional intelligence, this eloquence...
How did he become a transparent person with the Lakers for half a year?
If D'Antoni hadn't suddenly wanted to mess with him, he would probably still be working as an undercover agent for Jim Buss, right?
For the sake of Jim Bass, Du actually humiliated his talents like this.
No wonder Jim Bass would dare to make an enemy of the whole world for him!
Darwin Ham, who was following Du Kang, became more cautious and bent his waist even more.
The relationship between Du Kang and Jim Bass is closer than anyone imagined!
Even if Du is eventually dismissed from the Lakers, Jim Buss will not abandon him. Maybe in a sudden change, Du will become the general manager of the Lakers!
Where is the backstage?
This is simply a golden thigh!
You must hug this golden thigh tightly!
"Paul, you are a 7-foot-tall artist and I am mesmerized by your performance."
"Thank you, coach."
As someone from Kobe's side, even though Pau Gasol wanted to keep some distance from Du Kang, he still couldn't help but accept his hug and thank him for the compliment when faced with Du Kang's praise.
If it weren't for his relationship with Bryant, him being the head coach of the Lakers would actually be... pretty good.
"Mehta, that three-pointer was beautiful. You are a real clutch player."
"Haha, thank you, I feel good tonight."
It was rare for Artest to be polite, and it was rare for Artest not to become arrogant in front of a rookie because of his good performance.
This is a ruthless person who even Kobe dares to do from beginning to end. Can he bully such a rookie?
He is reckless, but he is not stupid!
Of the five Lakers stars, Du Kang embraced four, starting with Howard.
The last one not hugged was Kobe.
It's not that Du Kang doesn't want to hug, but that Kobe doesn't give him a chance.
After the game, Kobe Bryant hugged his teammates, signaled to the Lakers fans at the scene, hugged the away players and coaches, and then walked into the tunnel first.
feeling terrible.
After being looked down upon by Du Kang for the whole game, he started to rise in the first two minutes, and his hands hurt in the next 46 minutes.
He performed poorly, but the team won, and Kobe was very happy.
He performed poorly, but the team won, and Kobe was very disappointed.
"Victory belongs to the Lakers, to Los Angeles, to him, not to me..."
In the player tunnel, Kobe glanced at the noisy Staples reluctantly, clenched his fists, and turned to leave.
"I will find my touch and my glory right away!"
"I will prove to him that I am more trustworthy than anyone else!"
…
…
Not only the Lakers fans in the Staples Arena, but also not just the Lakers fans on the Internet, many Lakers fans in downtown Los Angeles shouted: "LA!" after the game between the Lakers and the Jazz. ", swaggering around there.
Tonight, LA! The cheers are destined to light up Los Angeles.
There's nothing I can do about it, Lakers fans haven't been this happy for a long time.
Lost 10 of the past 12 games.
Halfway through the season, they were ranked 13th in the Western Conference.
Since the Lakers formed F5, they have never played such a dreamy and exciting victory!
Feeling the noise and joy of the Staples Lakers fans at this time, Jim Buss, who stood up and applauded in the stands, could not hide the smile of joy on his lips.
He has always been arrogant and rarely smiles on his face.
Especially after taking charge of the Lakers in the past two years, it has become even harder to see a smile on his face.
But this game...
He is very happy!
What’s even more exciting is Du Kang’s performance!
Du Kang is actually just an acting head coach he randomly selected.
But Jenny mobilized public opinion and bound Du Kang to him. No matter how he explained, no one believed him.
Jenny's intention is very vicious, hoping to use Du Kang, a rookie head coach, to destroy all his reputation with the Lakers.
Jenny's operation was very clever, and she almost succeeded.
Before the start of this game, he and Du Kang were the most hated people in Los Angeles according to the Los Angeles Times survey.
Los Angeles Lakers fans, before the game started, were still calling for him and Du Kang to cancel their season tickets if they didn't leave.
Now, no Lakers fans at the scene make such noises.
Even those Hollywood stars who admired Kobe before the game were happily taking photos with Du Kang.
This battle really shattered all of Jenny’s plots.
Du Kang is bound to him, which is no longer a deduction, but a bonus.
Du Kang also helped him push away many huge rocks weighing on him.
In this game, Howard went all out. Who dares to say that his introduction of Howard had no effect at all, and also ruined the culture of the Lakers locker room.
In this game, Howard clearly had the intention to stay with the Lakers. The knot between him and Howard and Kobe may not be unsolved.
In this game, Nash performed well on both offense and defense, hitting the go-ahead shot and blocking Hayward's buzzer-beater. With such an excellent Nash, who would dare to say that he was taken advantage of by bringing him in?
"Jim, congratulations. You have found a very good head coach. No wonder you are eager to make him a regular coach."
Jim Bass took a deep look at Jenny Bass, who was smiling at this time, and finally put away his smile and nodded slightly.
"Thanks."
It would be dangerous for this woman to say another word to him.
Every sentence is a set.
Every word is a knife.
"I see, you have to hurry up and sign a new contract with him. I'm afraid there are other teams who are covetous of our Lakers acting head coach."
Jenny Bass smiled nonchalantly.
The word agency is very strong.
Jenny Bass left these words and left with her people.
"Jenny, you just..."
"Help me let it out, just say that many teams in the NBA want to poach the Lakers' acting head coach."
"..."
What a cruel woman!
…
…
At the post-game press conference between the Lakers and Jazz, Du Kang, the acting head coach of the Lakers, once again became everyone's focus.
Even during the visit of Jazz head coach Tyrone Corbin, the problems were basically not related to the Jazz, but mostly to Du Kang and the Lakers.
Especially Du Kang's.
In the face of these Dukan problems, Tyrone Corbin showed his grace.
"Du is the best young coach I have ever seen. It is rare for an NBA coach to be as calm and unhurried as he is at the age of 23. His prediction of the game, judgment of players, and perception of tactics are all amazing. deep impression."
"I think he will become one of the best coaches in the NBA. In the future, he can become a coach like Pat Riley, Popovich, Phil Jackson, or even the Cardinals."
"Hahahaha, just think this is my prediction. If I'm wrong, you can slap me in the face twenty years later."
Whether it was a sincere compliment, a flattering comment, or a casual comment, Tyrone Corbin's evaluation of Du Kang scared even Du Kang himself.
When asked what he thought of Tyrone Corbin’s words, Dukan responded very modestly.
He has always been a humble man.
"I'm grateful for the opponent's recognition, but I'm just the acting head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers now."
No matter how these American media dig holes, he keeps insisting that he is just an acting head coach now. If you compare me to the Cardinal, it is definitely not my problem. If others want to say it, they will only say that you are blind. , black heart.
In addition to inducing him to say some arrogant words that would make a group of NBA stars attack.
At the post-game press conference, Du Kang was asked most about his relationship with Howard and Kobe.
In fact, this is also a pitfall.
Jim Shu, who was hiding behind him, wanted to rush out several times to help Du Kang answer questions.
"I knew Kobe very well, he was the best player on the planet, but Bryant didn't know me well enough, and that was our relationship."
"I was very comfortable working with Dwight in the first game. He is a very good big man. It is hard to imagine that a player of that height can run so fast, jump so high, and have such excellent defensive skills. If he If you like, he will become a Lakers legend and one of the greatest big men in the NBA."
It's really watertight.
Jim Shui finally left with a smile during Du Kang's speech thanking the Lakers fans and opponents.
"My worries seemed so unnecessary."
When Jim Shu was leaving, he thought about the scene of grabbing Du Kang's microphone at the pre-match press conference, and an embarrassed smile appeared on his arrogant face.
Jimmie didn't know.
In Du Kang's mind, his figure was not funny. On the contrary, he was very, very tall.
…
…
After the game between the Lakers and Jazz ended, the Chinese fans who followed the game were undoubtedly happy.
In Apu, after the game, Apu's news consultation was simply flooded with Du Kang's news.
Apu is also really unruly. He reprinted a piece of news and posted it several times.
In the past, everyone complained about Apu, but today, the juniors actually think that Apu is doing a good job.
This kind of news that praises Du Kang should be separated and stuffed into one news. That would be so boring.
"Du is the most courageous and enterprising coach I have ever worked with. He will become a great head coach and a legend!"
This is what Lakers star Howard said.
"Obviously, Du is the kind of head coach the Lakers need. He handles the relationship with all the Lakers' star players very well. His first performance is very pleasing."
This is what Nash said after the game.
No matter how good Howard praised him, he never said that Du Kang is the coach the Lakers need.
Nash's speech is tantamount to making it clear that he supports Du Kang becoming a regular player.
Therefore, under Nash's statement, the most highlighted comment is this.
"Congratulations to Brother Du for capturing MVP Nash. The progress of becoming a regular player is: 1/5."
The Jrs are quite talented.
And such talented JRs, today, they maxed out Apu's server again.
And it's not a wet brush.
It was just for the news, and it blew up the news!
…
…
Du Kang didn't know that Ahpu's server was down, but he had already returned to his apartment and couldn't wait to study the system.
