Garnett has always been a very controversial player in the league.
People who like him say that he is an iron-blooded wolf king who is good at offense and defense and is unparalleled in strength.
People who don't like him say that he can't attack the colander on offense, and can't stop the offensive super giant on defense. Even his personality is the kind of superficial toughness that bullies the weak and fears the strong.
Du Kang doesn't have any colored glasses for most players in the NBA.
The first game Du Kang watched when he came to the United States was the game between Houston and the Celtics on January 2, 2008.
Therefore, Du Kang was very impressed.
In this game, the Celtics' starting center Perkins and backup center Pollard were fouled out by Yao Ming's six doubles.
In the end, the Celtics asked Garnett to guard Yao Ming.
Yao Ming is very good at defense. He can top, block, and grab. Yao Ming, who is very physically exhausted at critical moments, has difficulty connecting the ball when being guarded by Garnett. Even after receiving the ball, he cannot hit it.
Garnett's defense against Yao Ming in this game was a textbook example. The younger brothers wore down Yao Ming and reaped the rewards in the end.
Playing Yao Ming on the offensive end is also textbook.
At that time, Houston's defense at the fourth position had always been problematic, and Garnett went crazy in the mid-to-long range to attack Yao Ming's weaknesses that could not be repaired.
The whole game was 11 for 16, and in the fourth quarter, it was like a god descending from the earth, 5 for 6, and he scored 11 points in a single quarter.
In that extremely anxious game, the Celtics of the Big Three, led by Garnett, defeated Houston, which was led by Yao Ming when Tracy McGrady was injured.
What impressed Du Kang most about Garnett in this game is that he can do everything, so he can always find the opponent's weaknesses in the game.
Maybe his skills are not the best, but they are all above the first-class level.
This is why he is so controversial.
He is indeed versatile both offensively and defensively.
But because they are not the best, sometimes they are very embarrassed.
Because the offense is not top-notch, he can do everything, but he has no special skills and cannot beat Nowitzki, who is average defensively.
Because the defense is not the best, single defense, top defense is not as good as Duncan, and the assist defense is the best, but the assist defense cannot control the stand-up singles of Nowitzki and other powerful offenses, so it cannot guard against the super offensive players. Nowitzki.
Therefore, when he met Nowitzki, he was very embarrassed. It is not an exaggeration to say that he was hung up.
Such an all-around single-core leader may be easily targeted.
But when you have a group of excellent teammates around you, such versatility is amazing.
But the current Yi Jianlian is not the peak Nowitzki.
In the first two simulations, because he did not gain enough confidence and intimidation in front of Buss, as soon as Yi Jianlian met Garnett, he was choked just like Yao Ming back then.
Now Garnett's physical fitness has declined, his athletic ability has declined, and he has basically lost the speed of assist defense and single defense.
But Garnett's defensive experience is now top-notch.
If Yi Jianlian's offense does not have enough deterrence and confidence, then Garnett can use his comprehensiveness to defend every point. As long as Garnett does not care about one thing or another, no one can break him.
Nowitzki played so skillfully against Garnett, but he took advantage of Garnett to focus on one thing and not the other.
So now, does Yi Jianlian have offensive deterrence?
Are you confident?
Du Kang smiled.
Celtic's choice on the court is obvious!
On the court, Nash and Yi Jianlian played a pick-and-roll, and Garnett's gun screen was very good. Nash and Yi Jianlian's tacit understanding still needs more time.
Nash, who did not pass the ball to Yi Jianlian immediately, broke through Avery Bradley's defense and immediately handed the ball to Kobe, who was cutting around without the ball.
After receiving a pass from Nash, Kobe made a very picturesque back turn to get rid of Pierce's defense and went straight to the basket.
At this time, he looked at Kobe, who was coming over from the front, and then at Howard, who was standing next to him. Wilcox, who had just been replaced, was already trembling.
There is Kobe in front and Howard next to him. Let alone a mere role player. Even if Duncan is here, he can only resign himself to standing here as the background, right?
Just when Wilcox was shivering, a figure appeared in his field of vision, and Wilcox breathed a sigh of relief.
"Kevin Garnett!"
Garnett, who was originally transferred out by Yi Jianlian, was ready to come back to help defend at any time after Nash passed the ball to Kobe.
With Ray Allen gone, it would be too dangerous for Pierce to chase Kobe like this.
Garnett is always ready.
Even if the ball is in Nash's hands, he will still take care of it.
But the ball is in Kobe's hands, so there is no need to worry.
"He can't pass the ball!"
Kobe jumps up!
Garnett also jumped up!
Kobe was twirling and moving in the air!
Garnett waved his right hand to block the shot!
Kobe moved around in a flash and leaned back to prepare for the shot!
Garnett's big hand has arrived!
Seeing this scene, the originally excited Celtics fans were ready to roar passionately.
"KG wants to block Kobe!"
They just have to wait for that snap and then they can cheer!
However, Garnett's hand waved down, but they did not hear the waiting sound of the blocked shot!
Bryant, who was leaning back, didn't take a shot.
Kobe, who was leaning back in the air, lightly tossed the basketball in his hand, and the basketball flew behind Garnett!
"Why?!"
We've all gotten here, and Kobe actually passed the ball!
Garnett looked at Kobe in the air, dumbfounded.
But at this moment, a huge impact rushed towards his body!
If Garnett wasn't heavy enough, and if Garnett was just a small guard, he would definitely be knocked out!
Bang!
The Celtics fans, who had just been expecting Garnett to hit Kobe Bryant, now looked shocked and confused.
Their beloved KG, their beloved Wolf King, was dunked again!
Looking at the Chinese player No. 11 of the Lakers who was riding Garnett and hanging his hands on the basket, the three TNT commentators on the sidelines stood up.
"OMG……"
The three of them opened their mouths in shock!
Kobe actually passed the ball!
This is O'Neal.
KG was actually ridden and dunked again. He was ridden twice by one person in one game!
This is Barkley.
Two buckles that will go down in history in one game!
This is Kenny Smith.
After Kenny Smith was shocked, he subconsciously turned his attention to the young coach of the Lakers who was sitting and applauding.
“Coach D’s employment in this game is amazing!”
"No, it should be Coach D. He is simply amazing!"
"The whole world knows that he is messing with Kobe, but Kobe is willing to pass such a ball to China Yi for him!"
"Incredible! Incredible! Incredible!"
At this point, Kenny Smith was incoherent.
"Kobe, who has always been proud, actually chose to give in when he knew Coach D was going to mess with him!"
Kobe's pass was even more shocking than Yi Jianlian's dunk.
Although Garnett was being ridden by Yi Jianlian at this time, his eyes were still staring at Kobe.
The same goes for many people. Compared to being dunked by Yi Jianlian, Kobe's pass shocked and puzzled him even more.
Facing Garnett's shocked and puzzled gaze, Kobe didn't say anything to his good friend.
He just looked at Yi Jianlian expressionlessly, turned around and left.
Kobe left, but the other Lakers players didn't leave.
Several other Lakers players on the field all rushed forward at this time.
Especially Howard was the most excited and excited.
And the Lakers center is bad.
It was said that he hugged Yi Jianlian in the past, but in fact he also hugged Garnett.
Artest understood this and rushed over to hug Yi Jianlian.
In this way, these two bad guys from the Lakers directly took advantage of Garnett.
Garnett was forced to join the celebration of Yi Jianlian's dunk.
As the leader of the Celtics, how could the Celtics fans and players at the scene bear this.
The Celtics fans at the scene went crazy.
The burgers, Coke cups, coins, banknotes... in short, everything that could be thrown was thrown down.
The Celtics players on the court rushed over to rescue Garnett who was riding in the middle.
The Celtics and Lakers are mortal enemies.
If your own leader is humiliated again and again on your home court, what else is there to say?
Of course you have to roll up your sleeves and work hard!
Lakers players on the court, Celtics players.
Lakers players, Celtics players off the court.
The Celtics coaching staff off the court...
All of them rushed forward.
Even Celtics head coach Doc Rivers rushed forward.
At this time, the benches of both teams were almost empty.
No, it's not available yet.
A handsome young man was sitting on the Lakers' coaching bench with his legs crossed, his arms crossed, and a smile.
The two assistant coaches of the Lakers standing next to him, Clifford and Darwin Hamm, stood behind him, and there was another person with a tactical board in each hand, one holding it above his head, and the other holding it above his head. This handsome young man's head was covered with debris.
"Fuck! Kobe!"
"Kobe suddenly came off the court, it turned out to be to protect coach Xiao Du!"
"This scene is so cool, it reminds me of The Godfather!"
"On the court, the two teams were fighting passionately. Off the court, Coach Xiao Du was talking and laughing under the protection of Kobe. Coach Xiao Du's temperament and aura were completely full!"
…
…
In fact, it's not just the Chinese viewers in Penguin Live who are posting barrages like crazy.
Even viewers here in the United States, whether they are in front of the TV or online, are actually watching the show crazily!
"I announce that the most handsome and elegant head coach in NBA history has changed hands. Pat Riley please consciously give up the middle position to Coach D!"
"So unique. Coach D is so unique. He is the most handsome man on the planet!"
"Oh my god, I never thought a Chinese could be so stylish!"
"I guess after today, Coach D will be the most popular female head coach in the NBA!"
…
…
"Bryant, thank you."
"I just don't want to fight. It's quiet here."
"Yeah."
Compared to the stadium at this time, his place is indeed cleaner.
"How about this Laker now?"
Du Kang finished.
Kobe fell into a brief silence.
I have to admit that the current Lakers and the Lakers D'Antoni led are not the same.
If he hadn't personally felt the changes in this team, Kobe wouldn't even believe it.
but……
Finally, Kobe finally spoke.
"Very strong."
Du Kang smiled.
No matter how.
Kobe approved of this team.
I also recognized this group of teammates.
…
…
The conflict between the Lakers and Celtics lasted for four or five minutes.
The two teams settled the dispute only after the referee on duty issued 12 technical fouls.
Almost every player from the Lakers and Celtics failed.
And at the center of the storm, Garnett and Artest...
The two of them were spraying each other the hardest just now, you sprayed me, I sprayed you, you pushed my chest, I pushed your lungs, but after the spanking, both of them were actually intact.
Anyway, no matter what.
This time the brief conflict was over.
The reason for this conflict, anyone with a discerning eye can see, is because Celtic players and fans broke through the defense.
After a five-minute pause, the game resumed.
After the game restarted, the Celtics did not change the decline on the court.
The Celtics asked Garnett to defend Yi Jianlian, but they could not change the passive situation of the game.
Even facing Yi Jianlian, who is full of threats and confidence in this game, the aging Garnett is quite embarrassed.
In this game, Yi Jianlian in front of Garnett was like a weakened version of the peak Nowitzki.
He can jump, shoot, and run.
There were 2 minutes left in the first quarter. Facing Garnett's close defense, Yi Jianlian received Nash's pass. Without making any adjustments, he broke through instantly. After passing Garnett, he went directly to the basket and dunked. !
Garnett, who was thrown away by Yi Jianlian, almost did a split on the spot.
The 37-year-old Garnett's lateral movement speed could no longer keep up with his consciousness. His consciousness was in place, but his body couldn't reach it, and he was almost knocked down. He was very embarrassed.
With 30 seconds left in the first quarter, Garnett's defense was a little looser this time, but Yi Jianlian, who received Kobe's return ball, pulled it directly over Garnett's head.
Faced with this sudden strong shot, Garnett could only block it symbolically, but in the end he was unable to block the basketball hit.
This is the fifth relatively reluctant mid-range shot made by Yi Jianlian in this game.
The condition is so good that it explodes.
At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers, who were fully open on the offensive end, led the Celtics by 9 points 34 to 25 on the road.
In the second quarter, Yi Jianlian did not play for another second and rested off the court.
Yi Jianlian, who has a physical strength of 80, played the first quarter at full strength and was basically at his limit.
In the second quarter, the Lakers, without Yi Jianlian, played the Celtics at a 50-50 scoreline. At the end of the half, the Celtics even recovered some points.
Only in the third quarter, when Yi Jianlian came on the court again, the Celtics once again felt the fear of being dominated by the Lakers.
The aging Celtics, just like their aging leader Garnett, were torn to pieces by Yi Jianlian, who had the support of the entire team.
…
…
Seeing Celtics head coach Doc Rivers squatting on the sidelines in stunned silence, the two Lakers assistant coaches Clifford and Darwin Hamm looked at each other.
This is the Celtics!
The Celtics and Lakers, who have been in love and fighting each other for the past few years, have never seen such a scene.
The Lakers actually defeated the Celtics in Boston!
The Lakers, in Boston, could beat those crazy Celtics fans into silence!
"Steve, our head coach is so strong!"
Clifford nodded numbly.
Looking at the Lakers No. 24 who was still playing for Yi Jianlian on the court at this time, he realized that he was wrong.
He always thought that Coach D was trying to beat Gasol by organizing the yellow-blue match on the training field.
In fact, the target of Coach D's knock was Kobe!
Let Kobe continue to lose to his teammates, let Kobe correctly realize the strength of his teammates!
Reasonable matters should not be in Kobe's hands!
Reasonable department can't just look at Kobe's mood or not!
He wants to take control of the science department!
He may even have taken control of the rational science department!
He may not know much about techniques and tactics, and he may not have his own tactical system.
But as a head coach...
"He is really strong..."
He is simply a commanding artist on the sidelines!
…
…
In the fourth quarter of the game, the whole process entered garbage time.
Amid the anger, unwillingness, and lamentation of Boston Celtics fans, Du Kang did not sit down during this quarter, but stood on the sidelines.
Not only Du Kang, but Yi Jianlian also stood on the sidelines instead of sitting.
After the game, Barkley and O'Neal asked Du Kang a question during a live interview with Du Kang.
"Coach D, you stood on the sidelines the entire fourth quarter, were you listening to the heartbreaking wails of Boston Celtics fans?"
"No, I'm listening to a song, the most beautiful song in the world."
"..."
The heartbreaking wail of Celtic fans, the most beautiful song in the world?
Coach D, why do you even talk trash so literaryly!
For a moment, the TNT trio looked at Du Kang with the look of 'I just respect you artists'!
Soon, even the NBA official website posted the news.
"Coach D, the artist on the sidelines!"
The photo used is that of Du Kang smiling and sitting on the sidelines, Kobe holding an umbrella, smiling and watching the two teams fighting on the court, full of temperament and aura.
Comments on this news are flooding the screen like crazy.
The top comment is...
“Perfect distance, all it takes is a cigar @MichaelJordan!”
