At the end of the game, Howard and the Lakers players on the court did not chase Nash who had just completed the buzzer-beater to celebrate, but rushed directly to Du Kang on the sidelines.
In fact, even Nash, who had just completed the kill, rushed over. However, Howard is closest to Du Kang and runs really fast. No Lakers player can catch up with him.
Generally speaking, in an NBA game, the player who performs a buzzer beater will become the center of celebrations on the entire court.
But this time, the center of the Lakers' celebration was Du Kang, the head coach. Even Nash himself, who completed the buzzer beater, is now jumping around Du Kang in celebration. Who can have any opinions on this incredible scene?
"coachd!"
"coachd!"
"Coachd!" Listening to the crazy cheers of the Lakers fans at the scene, Du Kang, who was put down by Howard, grabbed Nash's hand next to him and raised it high.
"This is our hero!" Then he shouted Nash's name to the crazy Lakers fans in front.
"Steve Nash!" Almost instantly, the entire Staples Arena followed Du Kang in cheering for Nash.
Hearing the cheers from the Lakers fans at the scene, Nash's eyes turned red as Du Kang raised his hand. This is the first time since he came to the Lakers that he has enjoyed such cheers from the fans.
Before Du Kang took over the team, he was even the target of hostility from many Lakers fans and media. When D'Antoni arrived, he had to play run-and-gun, but the team couldn't play, and he couldn't withstand the intensity of the run-and-gun.
In the end, he became the one who took the blame for the Lakers' garbage period. At that time, he was confused, helpless, and thought of retiring countless times.
The arrival of Du Kang changed everything. Du Kang allowed him to see himself as he had never seen before.
He also saw the championship hope that had eluded him. His world changed because of him! Du Kang grabbed Nash's hand and walked all the way around the court, and behind him and Nash were Lakers players and coaches such as Howard, Yi Jianlian, Artest, and Gasol.
Even Kobe was following behind him and Nash, chanting together. For a time, the entire Staples fell into madness.
Some flamboyant Hollywood stars sang, danced and rapped directly on the sidelines, getting high to the point of emotion. Some people cried, laughed and knelt down on one knee, as if they were having sex.
Let's put it this way, after the Lakers were formed in f5, half a season has passed. When has the Lakers played such a thrilling game at their home court?
No, not even one! In Du Kang's first home game against the Jazz after taking over, Nash blocked a shot and made a buzzer-beater. It is already the most satisfying game for Lakers fans this season.
But, how does that game compare to this one? How can the Jazz compare to the Thunder?
The Thunder, one of the strongest teams in the NBA, has been a nightmare for the Lakers in the past few years!
The Thunder were the team that represented the Western Conference and reached the finals last season. They also ranked first in the league before this season. However, Westbrook's recent poor form has caused them to fall from the first position to second place.
Even so, many people believe that the Thunder will surpass the Spurs sooner or later and return to first place in the Western Conference. Many people believe that the Thunder are the strongest team in the entire Western Conference right now!
At the last moment of this game, the Thunder played a terrifying "Thunder and Thunder". The Lakers fans were suppressed and almost suffocated. But in the end, that magical coach D led the Los Angeles Lakers and finally completed the extraordinary change. Life!
For an NBA regular season, it must be very exaggerated for Du Kang to lead the players and coaches in a parade-style celebration.
However, TNT's three commentators, whether it is O'Neal, Kenny Smith or Barkley, are all very understandable.
"The Los Angeles Lakers need a victory like this so much!"
"For them, maybe the victory against the Thunder is more important than the victory against the Heat!" This is no joke. If the Lakers' goal this season is really the finals, then for these veterans, if they can reach the finals, More important than the opponents in the finals.
For these veterans, as long as they stand on the stage of the finals, it doesn't matter who the opponent is, isn't it just death?
I will fight to the death to win that championship!
"Of course, for the current Lakers, it is still too far to say this. Coach D still has a lot of work to do on this team." Because the victory in this game was too exciting, so Du Kang's celebration did not take into account the Thunder players and coaching staff who were still present.
After Du Kang took Nash and the others for one lap, they did not go around for a second time. The Lakers fans at the scene were still waiting there, and the Thunder players who did not leave because of the loss also gave their own applause.
"This is a great game!" Du Kang came to Scott Brooks and gave the Thunder head coach a fierce bear hug.
"Coach D, you won this great game!" Scott Brooks is a very graceful head coach. After losing to the Heat in the finals last year, the young players with the Thunder applauded the Heat.
If it were him, he would definitely not be able to do this. After hugging Scott Brooks, Du Kang did not go to Durant, but went straight to Westbrook, who was still pouting at this time.
"Russell, you are so great, you almost scared me to death." Unlike Brooks, who was an old senior and acquaintance of Westbrook, Du Kang greeted him with a fist bump in the past.
"Du, I need to get to know you again."
"Nice to get to know you again, Russell." Du Kang said with a smile, then opened his arms to Westbrook, the two hugged each other, smiled, and punched again.
After the game, Teacher Zhang and the CCTV team, who had been following Du Kang, were all very frightened.
"I thought Dayao was already considered outgoing..."
"If Dayao is a master in the social world, then Coach Xiao Du is a mudslide in the social world!"
"No wonder Coach Du Kang has been able to get along with the Lakers players in such a short period of time after taking charge of the Lakers. I can't help but accept it!" After greeting Westbrook, Du Kang came to Durant again.
Because Westbrook was born in U, Du Kang and his classmates were actually Thunder fans during the four years he was at U.
In fact, he can be regarded as witnessing the Thunder's young army growing up step by step every year. Let's put it this way, in today's NBA, even if Du Kang is not born in U, there is a high probability that he will be a fan of the Thunder.
The Thunder are the most popular young guard in the NBA in recent years. This team is a breath of fresh air in the NBA where rumors are flying all over the place.
For many NBA fans now, you may not like them, but you shouldn't hate them.
In last season's finals, after the Thunder reached the finals, before the start of the finals, the Thunder's support rate was as high as 90%. Except for Florida, where Miami is located, fans in other states across the United States unanimously supported the Thunder.
Even San Antonio, where the Spurs are located, supported the Thunder in the end. You know, that series was still somewhat controversial.
Such high fan support is rare in the entire NBA history. In addition to the fans who really hate the Big Three who stick together, they also really like this young team full of dreams and growing step by step.
Unfortunately, in the NBA, the preferences of fans do not represent the preferences of capital. In the regular season last season, the Thunder led by Durant had a better record than the Heat, and the Western Conference was stronger than the Eastern Conference. Durant's statistics were no worse than James. The two played against each other directly, and the record was 1 to 1. Durant's The data is even better.
But the final MVP was given to James. James performed so poorly in the 2011 Finals. Logically speaking, it will be difficult to win the MVP in the regular season next season.
Especially when there is such a high-quality competitor. But in the end, James actually won the MVP, although the media blew the whistle on James who won the MVP.
But fans didn't buy it. This is also the reason why the team led by MVP only had a support rate of 10% in the finals.
You are the mvp! Throughout history, which mvp led the team to the finals and only had 10% support from fans?
James' performance in the 2011 Finals was too poor. Those invisible hands were eager for James to prove himself for the benefit of everyone.
In the end, he abruptly took away the MVP that originally belonged to Durant, just like Anthony's Rookie of the Year award.
In the finals, these big hands were still working hard. The Thunder easily defeated the Heat in g1 and fell behind by a big score in g2. They fought back from 14 points behind to catch up with 10 seconds left in the fourth quarter. The difference was only 2 points left.
Seeing that the Heat was about to collapse, Durant singled out James. At the last moment, facing Durant, James was pulling, pulling, hitting, and kicking. The referee was nearby and pretended not to see it. .
In the end, Durant lost to the three-god James, and the Thunder also lost the game. After the game, Du Kang and his classmates were almost mad to death.
What kind of psychological impact will a group of young people have if they lose the most critical finals in this way? The dreams that these young people insist on are simply a joke in front of those big hands.
Then the classic came, facing Du Kang and his group of keyboard warriors after the game, as well as the support of the Thunder from other fans on the Internet.
Most of the media in the United States suddenly started to create momentum, saying that the entire league was targeting James. It's too soft to say why Durant didn't dunk in the end, but shot instead.
Keyboard man Du Kang, who had not yet come to the Lakers as an assistant coach at the time, was stunned. Isn't this lying with open eyes?
Damn it, Durant had to take four steps if he wanted to dunk at that time. Does Durant have the privilege of walking to kill?
The referee is right next to him. Does Durant dare to walk and dunk the game? In short, after the end of G2, I don’t know if it was because I saw the darkness of the NBA and the darkness of the media for the first time. In short, under the crazy momentum of the media, the Thunder Youth Army collapsed directly, and finally lost 1 to 4. Heat.
James also achieved double MVP achievements. Without those big hands, with the fighting spirit of the Thunder youth army, leading 2-0, it would be difficult for the Heat.
Then, those media reached a climax, and through everyone's efforts, everyone's interests were finally defended.
Maybe at that time, only online keyboard warriors like Du Kang and others would not be afraid of the big hands of reality, not follow the flattery, not say things that go against their will, and still support the Thunder, feel sorry for the crying Durant, and be moved by Weiss. There was a heartwarming scene of Brook consoling Durant, hoping they can make a comeback in the future.
Du Kang was thinking at the time, putting himself in Durant's shoes and imagining that if he were Durant, a 23-year-old young man, you could have become a god. In the end, these god-like suits were snatched away by cheating. ,What will you do?
Du Kang thinks he will collapse, right? It may even turn black directly. Because it's really miserable.
They could have been the light of the NBA. But that big hand pointed at the darkness in front of the fans and said, that is your light. You should worship that darkness, not those little suns of sunshine.
A team led by the MVP of the season reached the finals and only had 10% support. This shows that the fans do not recognize this light selected by the media at all.
In the hearts of fans, there is another person who shines in the NBA.
"Coach D?" Durant was a little confused when he looked at Du Kang, who was standing in front of him just smiling and looking at him without saying a word.
Originally, Du Kang thought that after James Harden was traded, Durant would go dark. If James Harden left, I would leave too. Unexpectedly, not only did he not leave, nor did he make a fuss, he also performed even better this season.
But, how many times can this beam of light withstand destruction?
"KD, you are taller than I thought." Du Kang said with a smile. Durant was stunned for a moment, and then he also laughed.
"A lot of people said that." Durant thought Du Kang was talking about his height. His height in the draft was 2.06 meters. In fact, he grew taller after entering the NBA.
"By the way, Coach D, if you ask Bryant to teach children to play basketball, will it really improve their strength?" As a training fanatic, Durant is also very interested in this.
"Of course." After Du Kang said, Durant's eyes lit up, but before Durant could speak, Du Kang poured a basin of cold water on him.
"KD, you are not at that level now, so you can't use it. First, polish your skills to the extreme like Kobe."
"Is it polished to the extreme like Bryant?" Durant thought for a while and nodded.
"I will work hard!" No wonder Corvo pampers them so much. Du Kang smiled. They are also the Bai Yueguang of Corvo's past, well, the Corvo of 2000 years ago.
After Du Kang took the Lakers players to greet the Thunder, the CCTV team led by Teacher Zhang and the Penguins team were already waiting for Du Kang.
Of course, in addition to these domestic media, there are also media from the United States such as Barkley O'Neal.
Barkley and the others were interviewing Howard, Kobe and Nash, the Lakers stars. The domestic team is waiting for him attentively.
However, after seeing Du Kang coming, the American media who were originally interviewing Lakers players also surrounded Du Kang.
Before Teacher Zhang and the others could speak, Barkley, O'Neal and Kenny Smith surrounded Du Kang.
Seeing that Teacher Zhang and the others were directly pushed out to the outside, Du Kang felt helpless. Teacher Zhang and the others, like Dayao, are still too modest.
O'Neal and the others won't tell you about first come, first served. I cried when I saw someone bullying my sister-in-law Liang.
Well, the girl from the Penguin team who was holding a microphone and looked like a host was about to cry after she was squeezed out.
"Coach D, congratulations on another wonderful victory. Can you tell us about Dwight's golden wristband?" While Barkley was interviewing, Howard also showed off the golden wristband on his wrist next to Du Kang. , for fear that others would not know that he is wearing it now.
Seeing Howard being so fussy, Du Kang certainly couldn't condone him. He stretched out his hand with an expressionless face. Howard, who was fussy just now, honestly took off the golden wristband that he couldn't put down and handed it to Du Kang's hand. .
"Is that what you're talking about?" Du Kang said with a nonchalant smile, "This is just a relatively common lucky thing that can bring luck."
"Is this why Dwight ended up shooting 6 of 6 free throws?"
"Of course not, Dwight can make all the free throws in the end, the most important thing is himself." Damn it!
O'Neal, who was originally digging a hole for Du Kang, was so angry that his teeth itched at this time. Coach D, why don’t you pay attention to such small details?
Coach D really doesn’t give them any news at all! Howard was happy when he heard Du Kang's answer.
Although he also felt that the reason why he made such a strong free throw in the end was because of the golden wristband. But, who doesn’t like to hear good things?
Therefore, Howard, who had just had his golden wristband confiscated, was not unhappy at all and stood beside Du Kang with a happy face, like a tall security guard.
Looking at Du Kang who was surrounded by Howard and the American media. Teacher Zhang's CCTV team and the entire Penguin team, who were already on the outermost edge, looked at each other in confusion.
"Coach Xiao Du, you are so powerful..." According to domestic parlance, Howard, a thorn in his side, is like a grandson in front of Coach Xiao Du.
NBA bosses like O'Neal and Barkley, who are always discriminating, respect Coach Xiao Du as if they have always supported him.
The respect that coach Xiao Du received in the NBA was something that Dayao had never received in his entire career. So, why is this?
The more Teacher Zhang watched, the more frightened and puzzled he became. However, watching the people chatting among the crowd, teasing Barkley O'Neal from time to time, and beating Howard Durkan from time to time... he seemed to understand something.
"Coach D, let's talk about Bryant." It's finally time to see him! O'Neal asked this question, and the American media next to him became excited.
Even Howard, who had been pretending to be a grandson beside Du Kang for so long, was excited.
"Bryant's performance in this game was still very bad. He made 9 of 26 shots from the field and only scored 24 points. It's not that I disrespect Bryant. This game once again proved that the Lakers may be better without him..." Also Before O'Neal could finish speaking, Du Kang interrupted him with a wave of his hand.
"Shaq, now we have only proved that the united Lakers can beat any team." Du Kang looked at O'Neal with a smile, and then looked at Howard next to him.
"Dwight, please read the name on the wristband." Howard took the wristband from Du Kang again and immediately became energetic.
"Dwight Howard, Steve Nash, Pau Gasol..." Howard read it very excitedly and high-spirited. The first one was of course his own name. Anyway, the names are all round. You can start with anyone.
Until the last name is read...
"Kobe Bryant!" Howard kept his high-spirited voice. After Howard finished reading all the names of the Lakers players on the wristband, Du Kang stretched out his hand to signal Howard to stop.
"Shaq, did you hear that? This is the source of strength for our team leader in this game. He is better than you were." Damn it!
Du Kang finished speaking with a smile, and all the American reporters next to him were stunned. Coach D is publicly executing O'Neal!
And he used Howard to execute O'Neal! You know, O'Neal's most disdainful opponent is Howard!
But...this time, what Coach D said made sense! Howard was inspired by his teammates and performed superbly!
Even though Howard and Kobe had many conflicts, they still took the team's victory as their own responsibility, and everyone stepped forward together as a unit.
Isn't this just better than you were back then? Seeing O'Neal's deflated look at this time, Howard's face smiled like a flower!
He doesn't like O'Neal or Kobe! The coach said, I am better than O'Neal! The coach said, I am the leader of the team!
"Coach D, you are changing the focus. We all know that Dwight does not want to be teammates with Bryant. Dwight is the future of the Lakers, and Bryant, his time has passed." O'Neal is still dying. , but this time, Du Kang did not take action and just smiled the whole time, while Howard next to Du Kang burst out laughing after O'Neal finished speaking.
"Hahahaha, Shaq, I have never said that I don't want to be teammates with Kobe. As a Lakers legend, your words make me and the Lakers fans feel sick!"
"..." O'Neill was shocked! Next to them, Barkley and Kenny Smith looked at each other and laughed like crazy.
"Hahahaha, Shaq originally dug a hole for Coach D to jump out of, and buried Kobe by the way. Unexpectedly, in the end, Coach D dug a hole for Howard, whom he disliked the most, to bury!" For a moment, everyone around him was surrounded by people. The cameraman kept making clicking sounds.
The smiling Coach D, the laughing Howard, and O'Neal with a face that looked like he had eaten his answer. This famous painting is destined to become a famous scene in the NBA together with this game.
…………
"Jenny, do you hear that now?"
"..." Looking at Howard laughing on the TV, Aunt Jenny's face seemed to have eaten the same reply as O'Neal.
"Jim, Coach D, I'm very satisfied, you did a great job!" Old Bass, who thought of something, smiled and said to Jim again.
"Tell him, I want to meet him, I want to meet, the next great era of the Lakers." The next great era of the Lakers... After Old Buss finished speaking, Jim Shu was stunned.
But Aunt Jenny was dumbfounded. You are the next great era of the Lakers. What am I? ! Angry and unwilling!
