When the game lasted 10 minutes and 11 seconds in the first quarter, Kobe was sent off for elbowing Villanueva.
Du Kang looked at the time and numbers on the scoreboard.
13 to 28, this is the biggest score difference tonight.
Du Kang looked at Ham who was still squatting in front of him, walked over, patted his shoulder, and pulled him up.
"Darwin, let me do it next."
Darwin Ham, who had already been emotionally depressed due to the ups and downs, saw the smile on Du Kang's face at this time, and for some reason, he actually felt at ease.
"Du, is there any hope of help now?"
He was actually very, very desperate.
"If you believe there is salvation, then there is salvation."
"..."
Du Kang looked at the confused Darwin Hamm and said with a smile.
"Steve just said to Bryant that he is also a miracle. Maybe, each of us can be a miracle, if you believe in miracles."
After Du Kang finished speaking, he patted Darwin Ham on the back and walked to the sidelines.
"Darwin, the game is not over yet, anything is possible."
Looking at Du Kang's back in front of him, the despair on Darwin Ham's face had all been replaced by shock.
Yes, the game is not over yet, anything is possible...
Du, thank you.
Darwin Hamm glanced at Du Kang's back gratefully, turned back to his seat on the bench, clenched his fists, and watched everything that happened next nervously.
As Du Kang left his seat and came to the sidelines, almost all the cameras on the scene were focused on the Lakers' rookie head coach.
"The game has lost its suspense, and Kobe has been sent off. The biggest highlight of this game is whether the rookie coach will be beaten to tears like Darwin Hamm, hahahaha."
If the most popular head coach in the NBA is beaten to tears, the ratings and discussion of this game will definitely explode, right?
In fact, online, the discussion of this game has exploded.
"The rookie head coach of the Lakers finally stood up from his seat. He is calmer than a Zen master. Unfortunately, his strength is not even close to that of a Zen master. Even if he is really a Zen master, he will have to kneel when he gets to Mount Auburn. !”
"Ouch~Auburn Hills!"
"Poor rookie coach, maybe this is his last game in the NBA. He left his last game in the great Detroit. This will be the greatest achievement of his coaching career!"
"Aw~ Poor rookie! Aw~ Great Detroit!"
The Pistons' on-site DJ led the Pistons fans to make noise and tease Du Kang.
The momentum was like a tide, trying to swallow up Du Kang who was standing there on the sidelines.
Darwin Hamm, who was sitting on the bench, felt the terrifying pressure created by the Pistons fans.
And he was just on the edge of this pressure.
And the young man who is still standing calmly on the sidelines is the center of all this pressure and the eye of this storm!
Now, he just hopes that Du Kang can stand and not be embarrassed like him.
"God bless……"
Darwin Hamm clasped his hands together and closed his eyes.
Seeing Du Kang still forcing himself to be calm on the big screen, Pistons head coach Frank almost wanted to laugh.
No one knows what a firefighting coach is better than him, the king of firefighting coaches. Until now, he has not become an excellent head coach.
Not to mention a 23-year-old young man.
He will only be worse than he was 10 years ago.
Ten years ago, facing a situation like this game, I could only wait for death.
What can he do?
"He can't do anything except pretend to be calm!"
Isn't it just because you are in the Lakers and in Los Angeles?
The momentum of winning a game while fighting the fire was actually greater than the momentum he gained when fighting the fire for 14 consecutive victories.
Lucky bastard!
Don’t you know that the higher you are praised, the harder you fall?
Deserve it!
…
…
Beep!
As Crawford blew the whistle, the eyebrowless hero Villanueva began to shoot free throws.
It'll be a two-and-one throw.
Just as Villanueva was about to take a free throw...
"Don't worry, he will definitely miss the free throw, not even once. 15 points is the biggest point difference in this game!"
Hearing Du Kang's shout from the sidelines, Villanueva, who was about to take a free throw, almost dropped the ball.
"Referee, he interfered with the player's free throw!"
Frank complained loudly.
Bald referee Crawford frowned.
"If you can prevent Pistons fans from interfering with Lakers players' free throws in this game, I will punish him."
"..."
Crawford glared at Frank, who complained.
If you can't stand this kind of interference, you're a coward!
He wouldn't feel bad for such a weakling even if he died on the NBA court.
After glaring at Frank, Crawford allowed Villanueva to take another free throw.
Saw this sudden scene on the court.
Barkley and Kenny Smith laughed on the sidelines.
"Is the rookie coach crazy now? Does he think he can replicate the coaching style of the last game? He didn't know the last game. Is that luck?"
When Kenny Smith saw Du Kang looking like a gambler, he couldn't help but start calling the rookie head coach again.
"Ouch! The rookie head coach of the Lakers was beaten crazy by the great Pistons!"
"This rookie coach didn't cry when he was beaten, he was beaten crazy!"
The Pistons fans at the scene once again let out loud jeers.
Even the Lakers players on the court and on the sidelines were a little embarrassed when they saw their head coach's predictions like a dancing master.
It’s so embarrassing to do something like this again after falling so far behind!
Howard on the court covered his face with his hands, his frustration palpable.
Finally, the Lakers have a head coach who wants to engage Kobe. Now, get out of class is about to end, and Kobe is driving him crazy.
Well, Howard felt that Kobe's misdeed just now was intentional.
Because if it were him, he would also get rid of the head coach who was against him in this way.
To judge others by oneself, it is normal for me to think that Kobe was intentional.
Even Yi Jianlian, who had the closest relationship with Du Kang, was actually blind at this moment.
Villanueva, his former Bucks teammate, if he remembers correctly, the second-year Villanueva shot 82% from the free throw line.
Because they were competitors, Yi Jianlian remembered it especially clearly.
At this time, the Lakers players, perhaps only Nash, still had firm eyes.
"Villanueva's data last season was 85.7%. Will he miss two free throws? If the rookie coach is not crazy, but plays psychological warfare against such a player, it will make him appear even more mentally retarded..."
Buckley finished mockingly.
Bang!
The shot that was thrown out by Villanueva was ironclad.
"Fake! This rookie's mentally retarded psychological warfare was successful?!"
Another bang!
Villanueva made the same penalty for the second time!
"Really missed both free throws?!"
Barkley and Kenny Smith were dumbfounded.
The Pistons DJ and Pistons fans who were mocking Du Kang just now were also dumbfounded.
Even the Lakers and Pistons players on and off the court were dumbfounded.
Then, everyone looked at Du Kang in shock, who was still standing on the sidelines smiling.
"Is this a successful psychological operation, or does he really have a pair of eyes that can see through the game?"
"He should be more prepared than others."
Popovich said with a smile. After thinking for a moment, Popovich looked at the confused Villanueva on the TV and continued.
"Although I don't know Villanueva's specific free throw numbers this season, it's definitely not high."
"Why?"
"If Villanueva's passing is still as trustworthy as before, Frank will never protest against Coach D's interference with free throws. Do you think D'Antoni will protest against my interference with Nash's free throws?"
"..."
Mike Budenholzer was silent, which makes sense.
At this moment, Villanueva's free throw shooting percentage this season was shown on TV, 56%.
sharp!
That rookie is awesome, and so is Bobo!
but……
"Pop, now Nash's head coach is Coach D, not D'Antoni. Maybe you shouldn't ignore him."
"..."
There is definitely no need to ignore it. The main thing is to get used to it.
When you think of Nash, you think of D'Antoni.
D'Antoni allowed the entire basketball world to see the strongest Nash.
D'Antoni and Nash made the Spurs tremble that year.
Therefore, when Nash is mentioned, it is difficult for him to think of other head coaches, at least, not now.
However, in the last game, Coach D took Nash to a new level, a level that D'Antoni can never use.
"Is this also an accident?"
If it hadn't been for the rookie coach's free throw preview just now, maybe he would have thought it was an accident.
but now……
"Steve, don't hesitate, you will definitely get in!"
What? !
Detroit, Palace of Auburn Hills.
The Lakers rookie head coach who had just successfully predicted that Villanueva would miss two free throws was yelling from the sidelines again!
Almost at the same time as he was yelling, Nash used Howard's screen to block Stucky, and then faced Drummond's defense and quickly shot the three-pointer in his hand.
"That crazy coach of the Lakers is crazy, completely crazy. Does he think he is a god..."
The on-site Piston DJ hasn’t finished speaking yet...
A swipe!
Three point hit!
16 to 28!
Nash's unreasonable three-pointer silenced the Palace of Auburn Hills, which had been ridiculing Du Kang just now!
Although Nash's three-pointer was wonderful, everyone knew that it was definitely not Nash's three-pointer that really silenced the Palace of Auburn Hills!
But...
The Lakers head coach next to him is still shouting!
"Dwight, get stuck and grab the rebound, Starkey missed the shot!"
Damn it, Howard, who was just about to help defend Nash, immediately braked and turned around to grab the rebound from Drummond.
My manager, a tool man, can't really be that Dior, can he? !
Bang!
Stucky, who had just knocked away Nash, was really open, and the mid-range shot hit!
Really hammered!
Howard received the backcourt rebound in shock.
"Dwight, pass the ball!"
Howard came to his senses and fucked again!
"Damn it, Nash actually ran the fast break!"
"With Nash's current physical strength, he actually dares to run such a fast break in the game? Is he crazy?!"
Starkey, who was regretful just now, was blinded.
After Nash was knocked away by him, he went straight to the fast break!
"I believe in the coach, I believe in the coach 100%. If the coach says that Stucky won't score, then he definitely won't score!"
A veteran who is about to turn 39 is running ahead of everyone else. This scene...
“Absolutely beautiful!”
Du Kang looked excitedly at the scene of the other nine players on the court chasing Nash crazily.
Howard's long pass is very accurate.
The Pistons also chased back very quickly. When Nash received Howard's long pass, Brandon Knight had already caught up three steps beyond the three-point line.
As long as Nash takes two more dribbles, Brandon Knight can get in front of Nash.
"Steve, if you take action, you will definitely score!"
Almost at the same time, Nash quickly took two steps from the three-point line!
"It must go in! The coach says this goal must go in, then it must go in!"
After Nash took the shot, he didn't wait for the ball to fall and turned back to defend.
The ball was flying in the air, Nash turned around firmly, Du Kang smiled and raised his hands in celebration, and the baseline cameraman captured that moment.
A swipe!
The moment captured by the photographer is destined to become a classic in the entire basketball world!
"Again, Coach D's prediction came true again! Coach D, his prediction came true again!"
Nash hit a three-pointer!
19 to 28!
The Lakers chased the point difference to less than 10 points.
"When Kobe was expelled, Coach D led the Lakers to within 10 points!"
"Incredible coaching art! Coach D's coaching art is the craziest I have ever seen. The Pistons players, coaches, and fans are already stupid!"
"And the Lakers players are crazy!"
In fact, Barkley is also crazy.
Kenny Smith looked at the coach next to him who was talking about D and Barkley jumping up and down. He was also dumbfounded now.
"What an incredible coaching style!"
The morale of the Lakers, which had collapsed, was instantly boosted!
The Pistons' morale, which was already full, collapsed instantly!
"This, this, how is this possible?!"
Aunt Jenny and the assistant beside her seemed to have seen a ghost at this time.
There is no trace of the excitement and excitement on his face just now.
"We really still have a chance, Jim, we really still have a chance!"
Jim Shu's assistant was already crying, crying with excitement.
"I believe in you, I always believe in you!"
At this time, Jim Shu was standing there, his eyes moist with excitement as well.
At that moment, he felt like he was about to break through!
"Bryant, you are a miracle and I am a miracle too!"
In the Lakers locker room, Kobe stared at No. 10 Nash on the TV in stunned silence.
This No. 10 Nash is even more magical than the Suns’ No. 13 Nash!
What Nash just did was a miracle!
It was him who made Nash a miracle!
Kobe held his chest, his heart beating wildly.
And me?
What will he become of me?
"He is also a miracle!"
…
…
"Bobo?"
"He showed me a Nash that never existed."
Popovich finished speaking seriously.
Budenholzer was silent.
In the past minute, that crazy Nash, that young rookie...
It's a miracle!
…
…
"Detroit's Auburn Hills, which just moments ago were perhaps the happiest place in America, have lost their laughter!"
"Then the question is, will they cry if they want to beat Coach D to tears? Hahahaha!"
Charles, you are really cheap!
