Du Kang has a very clear understanding of his current role with the Lakers.
His current coaching ability is not even as good as that of his assistant Darwin Hamm.
A head coach like him would not be able to lead any team to success in the NBA if he did not hold on to his ambitions.
He is not yet a great head coach like Popovich who can fly with rookies, transform players, and lead others to fly.
He is now a parasitic head coach who needs to be carried away by others and carried away by big bosses.
He is not even qualified to fly with others now.
Don't look at everyone who is criticizing him after the Lakers won four consecutive games. He is not Hamm, he is very sober.
And always sober.
Now, he wants to succeed in the Lakers, wants to protect the best Jim Shu, and let Jim Shu fulfill the promise given by the Lakers to compete for the championship in three years to protect him.
He needs thighs, the more thighs the better, the stronger the thighs the better!
And Kobe, Howard, and Nash, these three are his strongest legs.
Kobe and Howard cannot strengthen for the time being.
Then we can only start by strengthening Nash.
Neither Mike Brown nor D'Antoni can formulate tactics and systems suitable for the five-star Lakers. Naturally, he will not waste time and brains on integrating the five-star tactical systems.
All he needs to do is let Nash, Howard and Kobe, the three big players, try to play the basketball he is familiar with.
These players can handle matters on the court themselves.
He certainly couldn't help.
However, he can prepare the most adequate weapons and equipment and the most suitable assistants for these three thighs!
He previously restored Nash's physical strength to 84, making Nash once again a deterrent on the offensive end.
According to Nash, his current physical strength is equivalent to 10 years. At the age of 36, his strength is about 90% of what it was then.
Well, what does Nash look like at 36?
In the regular season, he led the Suns to 54 wins and 28 losses, ranking third in the Western Conference. In the playoffs, he led the Suns to sweep the Spurs in the Western Conference semifinals. In the Western Conference finals, they lost to the champion Los Angeles Lakers 2-4.
Nash in the 2010 season is actually not at his peak, but his physical fitness can still support him to stay aggressive on the offensive end. As long as he is equipped with a peak Stoudemire, he can still lead the team to the back. .
In the current Lakers, Nash has returned to the physical fitness of about 36 years old and is aggressive.
In order to maximize Nash's influence, it is natural to equip him with a peak Stoudemire.
Du Kang's previous choice has always been Howard.
If Howard's favorability with him breaks through, Howard can be an enhanced version of Stoudemire next to Nash.
The enhanced version of the combination of Howard and Nash can definitely make him feel at ease while Zhang Liang is strategizing on the sidelines, allowing him to smile and slowly grow stronger in the applause, and use the ultimate magic skill of UCLA to pass and cut, and finally kill Bobo with his hands. Vicky, the ultimate boss who secretly learned his sect’s magical skills!
It's a pity that Howard still looks so unruly.
Howard is now unavailable, and Du Kang's only option is Yi Jianlian.
Yi Jianlian
"I'm excited about everything about the team. I'm about to play the Celtics. Garnett... I really want to play!"
Favorability towards you: 92 (The coach’s training methods are really effective, I feel like my shooting has improved!)
"Garnett? Does UAE have any special obsession with Garnett?"
Du Kang was stunned for a moment.
Soon, Du Kang thought of something.
"So that's what happened..."
The matter of the 2009 NBA All-Star voting.
Du Kang happened to be a freshman at the time and worked part-time as an assistant trainer at UCLA.
Back then, he canvassed votes at UCLA for the UAE.
In the end, he traveled almost all over UCLA with his good friend who was also a freshman at the time and someone he trained with, the team's young point guard Jrue Holiday.
A conservative estimate is that at least thousands of votes were drawn for the United Arab Emirates.
At that time, the United Arab Emirates were leading Garnett before the final round of voting results came out. When seeing that Chinese players were about to appear in the NBA All-Stars...
Garnett cheated.
Before the final round results came out, Garnett and Celtics celebrities, media, and experts set the pace like crazy.
He said that as long as Yi Jianlian beats Garnett to be selected as the All-Star and becomes the starter, it will be the biggest shame for the United States and the NBA!
Populism was ignited.
Soon, Yi Jianlian fell into the attack and ridicule of the entire American public opinion.
Du Kang remembers very clearly that public opinion in the United States at that time probably meant that toads also want to eat swan meat? Do you deserve it?
In the end, Garnett achieved a great comeback.
Du Kang and Holiday were very angry about this incident at first.
After working so hard for so long, in the end the opponent actually played tricks on me!
In fact, Du Kang was even more angry than Holiday.
Obviously the United States has already done this.
Domestic public opinion actually does not support Yi Jianlian, but makes those fans who voted for Yi Jianlian reflect.
What else can I say, stop brushing.
Why is voting for Yi Jianlian called brushing?
At that time, Du Kang started scolding on Tieba.
Thinking about it, who stipulates that the All-Stars must vote for the strongest!
If this is the case, why isn’t Duncan the vote king every year?
Why do players like Zaza Pachulia get tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of votes every year?
Since the All-Star rule is to choose the fans' favorite.
I can choose whoever I want!
American football fans are human beings.
Are we, the Chinese fans, no longer human beings?
American fans vote for justice.
Is my Chinese fan’s vote called brushing?
You American fans don’t want to see Yi Jianlian appear in the All-Star game.
I, the Chinese fans, want to watch it, can’t I?
This was the idea of Du Kang, who was young and energetic at the time.
Well, to Holiday, you Boston fans are human beings, but I, the California fans, are not human beings?
I, the California fans, just don’t like Garnett, so I just voted for Yi Jianlian, no way!
Let's put it this way, Yi Jianlian's ability to suppress Garnett for so long that year was definitely not just the work of Chinese fans.
But the final result, of course, made Du Kang and Holiday, who were young and energetic at the time, very unhappy.
However, the two basically forgot about it within a few days.
But Yi Jianlian, as the person involved, seems to have always remembered this incident.
Well, given Yi Jianlian's character, it is conceivable that this incident will cause him a lot of trauma.
Moreover, after the All-Star incident, Garnett met Yi Jianlian for the first time and severely repaired Yi Jianlian.
It's like I'm an All-Star and you're a Sewer.
In fact, looking at it now, it is actually true that Garnett was red-eyed and activated magic. If he was really snatched from the starting lineup by Yi Jianlian, he would be really shameless and could only activate magic.
Du Kang and Jrue Holiday are certainly not wrong. What's wrong with fans voting for their favorite players?
Perhaps the only problem with this matter was those so-called reasonable commentators who clearly reaped the dividends of Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian and had the right to speak in public opinion.
You pretend to be so objective. With your level of business, you can make so much money. Do you really think it’s your own ability?
Everyone is qualified to make everyone rational and objective, but not you!
Isn't this a typical example of scolding your mother while eating?
Thinking of this, Du Kang himself laughed.
At that time, he trolled a lot of people on Tieba, and these people are now all the so-called big guys in the domestic commentary industry.
"If my trumpet account in Tieba is dug out, there will probably be a bloody storm in the domestic basketball world."
Back then, Yao Ming and Arab League were indeed the spiritual pillars of his life as a basketball player in a foreign land.
Because of Yao Ming and Arab League, he, a basketball player from a foreign land, was so easily accepted.
He remembered that when he and Holiday met, the first thing Holiday said to him was...
"Wow, Chinese? You are a fellow villager of Yao and Yi. Do you know Yao and Yi?"
When he applied for a job at UCLA, the head coach asked him this question.
"Oh, Chinese trainer, the one who trained Yao and Yi, but he is a little younger. Let's stay as a trainer's assistant for now."
From then on, Du Kang entered the UCLA basketball team and activated the system.
Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian actually opened a door that has been closed for many people.
He is also one of these many people.
Ahem, I'm going too far. In short, the new status of Yi Jianlian's player card reminded Du Kang of many interesting past events in his youth.
"Garnett, Boston Celtics..."
Well, it might be very interesting.
"Ding, your player Yi Jianlian completed 10 sets of received passes. Facing Howard's training of 10 consecutive mid-range shots, the mid-range shot attribute increased from 89 to 90. Please check it."
Oh, are the Arab League, Nash and Howard in the training hall now?
Nash and Arab League are in the training hall, Du Kang can understand, Howard...
Shouldn't he be out there looking for Happy right now?
I finally came to Boston once, and I heard that Howard likes to play with white players, and Boston is famous for white players.
"It seems that throwing Howard, Nash and Arab together is a good idea."
Du Kang smiled.
"Ding, do you want to use the LV1 single attribute potential card for Yi Jianlian's offensive stability attribute?"
"yes."
"Ding, Yi Jianlian's offensive stability attribute potential has been adjusted to 80."
After adjusting Yi Jianlian's potential for offensive stability, Du Kang looked at the player cards of other Lakers players.
Kobe's offensive stability is the highest among the Lakers, 89.
Nash ranked second at 81.
Kobe's career shooting percentage is not as good as Nash's, but his offensive stability is higher than Nash's.
Except for the different offensive pressure they face.
"If you have the same defensive intensity and take 30 shots in a game, Nash's shooting percentage will definitely not be as good as Kobe's."
Du Kang has somewhat gained the mental attribute of offensive stability.
In addition to Nash and Kobe, the other three Lakers stars, Howard's offensive stability is 75, Gasol is 74, and Artest is 70.
The remaining Lakers players have not reached 70 in offensive stability.
Not even many are over 60.
Obviously, mental attributes such as offensive stability and defensive stability are not so universal in the entire NBA.
Judging from the fact that Kobe Bryant is only 89, I am afraid that many offensive superstars also have offensive stability that starts with 8.
A player whose offensive stability is now above 90...
"Durant? James? Wade?"
Du Kang doesn't know what the peak Kobe is.
Even the current Kobe Bryant is only 89. Du Kang really can't think of a few NBA players with an offensive stability of 90 or above.
"Looking at it this way, the offensive stability of 80 is definitely enough!"
87 receiving, 90 mid-range shooting, 80 offensive stability...
very good!
"Ding, Yi Jianlian's offensive stability potential is 80. To increase Yi Jianlian's offensive stability to 70, the MP consumption will be halved. Do you want to spend 1500 MP to increase Yi Jianlian's offensive stability to 70?"
yes.
"Ding, because offensive stability is a mental attribute, it can be directly improved without training methods. Ding, Yi Jianlian's offensive stability attribute is adjusted to 70."
The offensive stability of 80 is likely to be at the level of an offensive superstar.
70, should be star level or quasi-star level.
Don't be in a hurry to reach full level, you don't have MP, just take your time.
Now, there is only one last step left.
"Ding, are you sure you want to give the King of CIC (Purple) skill card to Yi Jianlian?"
"Ding, the King of CIC (Purple) equipment has been given to your player Yi Jianlian. Please activate it as soon as possible. The activation method has been sent to the training interface."
train.
Yi Jianlian.
Skill.
The king of CIC.
Bronze: Adjust the release speed of the mid-range shot to within 0.7 seconds to activate the bronze-level mid-range shot king.
Silver: If you hit 500 mid-range shots in any way during training, you can activate the silver-level mid-range shot king.
Gold: Hit 1,000 mid-range shots in any way on the day during training to activate the gold-level mid-range shot king.
Zijin: In the NBA regular season or playoffs, if you complete 10 mid-range shots in a single game, you can activate the Zijin mid-range king.
Well, the activation conditions are not strict.
"Quite reasonable."
However, this time I really went bankrupt!
In addition to leaving 300MP for simulation needs.
He really went bankrupt in order to equip Nash with a Lakers version of Stoudemire!
I wonder if Yi Jianlian can match Stoudemire after maxing out these attributes and skills?
At the very least, Yi Jianlian's overall rating has now reached 82!
In the NBA, he is already a quasi-All-Star.
It can be regarded as half of Du Kang's thigh.
…
…
Boston University training facility.
"Yi, your CIC has improved so much!"
Howard's words definitely came from the heart.
"I hope the game against the Celtics can have a different result."
After Yi Jianlian finished speaking with a smile, Howard was stunned for a moment and his eyes flickered.
The turmoil in 2009 is not far away.
He supported his idol Garnett back then.
"Haha, actually Garnett was my idol when I was a kid. Now, I don't like him either."
Howard smiled and hooked Yi Jianlian's shoulder, while Nash next to him was practicing shooting.
"Yi, don't worry. With your relationship with the coach, he will definitely give you a chance. Steve, I'm going to take Yi to see something good. You go ahead and do your work."
Want to see something good again?
It's so dark, I really can't stand it...
Yi Jianlian had a wry smile on his face, he really didn't feel good!
Might as well stay in the training hall and practice shooting with Nash.
"Dwight, where are you going to see Haokang's stuff? Do you want to take me with you?"
Just when Yi Jianlian was in a dilemma, Du Kang came over.
"Haha, if the coach is interested, of course it would be best. I will definitely leave the best for you!"
"roll!"
Du Kang directly kicked Howard away who was laughing.
There is no need to keep a straight face when dealing with Howard, moderate joking is best, but remember to pat him on the back.
"Okay, Dwight, go and have some fun yourself, I'll make a new training plan for Yi."
Make a training plan for Yi?
After Du Kang finished speaking, Howard's eyes lit up as he originally wanted to see Haokang.
"Coach, can you help me develop a free throw training plan?"
"Hell difficulty needs to be studied further."
"Okay, thank you, head!"
Even Nash, who hurried over after seeing Du Kang, had bright eyes.
"Coach, can you, can you make a defensive training plan for me?"
"Not in a hurry."
Du Kang smiled at the embarrassed Nash and finished, and Nash nodded excitedly.
They have seen Yi Jianlian's improvement in his CIC ability in recent days.
This head coach of ours really doesn't know much about skills and tactics, he is a real rookie.
But training players is really awesome!
…
…
"Antoine, have you asked what the coach is doing there? Is he plotting something?"
"There is no conspiracy. It seems to have brought Yi a new training method."
After Antawn Jamison finished speaking, Gasol looked confused.
The coach doesn't even know techniques and tactics, how can he still develop training methods for the players?
The coach is not a professional player. He has played professional basketball for so many years and is very strong. He needs the training methods of a coach who has never played professional basketball?
and……
"Hahahaha, maybe it's fun."
After Artest finished speaking, the other Lakers players laughed.
After Yi Jianlian came to the Lakers, he never got a chance to play.
Now the Lakers players feel that the coach brought Yi Jianlian, a fellow countryman, just to get acquainted with him and relieve his boredom.
is a mascot.
"Just for fun?"
Kobe frowned in disbelief.
