On February 8, the back-to-back game between the Lakers and Pelicans was not a game that attracted much attention two hours before the game.
According to some Los Angeles fans, isn't it just the Pelicans? When I wake up from my sleep, I will definitely win another big victory.
Now the Lakers have just defeated the Heat, which is first in the Eastern Conference, and the Thunder, which is second in the Western Conference. Du Kang has led the team to a seven-game winning streak in a hellish schedule. Are they going to beat the Pelicans, who are just a mere mediocre person, at home? Isn’t this a casual defeat?
Even if Coach D is suspended and D'Antoni is brought back, the Pelicans can be defeated. Therefore, there is no suspense in this game.
Naturally, it is not an important game broadcast live across the United States. Until two hours ago, news suddenly came out that the Lakers would rest the team's two leading players Kobe and Nash in this game.
This originally unimportant game attracted a lot of attention in an instant. TNT originally planned to broadcast the Warriors' home game against the Grizzlies nationwide, but temporarily canceled the national broadcast, and then the live broadcast team moved to Los Angeles to broadcast the Lakers and Pelicans game.
This wave of cool moves by tnt simply broke the waists of Warriors fans and Grizzlies fans. Many Warriors fans and Grizzlies fans may have seen this for the first time in their lives.
Can the national live broadcast be canceled temporarily? And it was temporarily canceled two hours before the game started?
Do you want to look down on people like this? Is it that my brave little Kuku is not cute, little Keke is not gorgeous, little plum is not coquettish enough, or his bear's twin towers are not majestic, why can't I keep you tnt, a heartless man?
Is it easy for a small team like us to have a national live broadcast? You just walked away without even waving your sleeves. It's so sad, okay?
Obviously our record is better than that of the Lakers. Our rankings combined are only 13th in the Western Conference. The Lakers are only 13th in the Western Conference!
Why! Many Warriors fans and Grizzlies fans on the Internet are extremely resentful of TNT's behavior.
However, there are also many Warriors and Grizzlies fans who are as eager as other fans to watch the game between the Lakers and Pelicans.
What's so interesting about the Warriors and the Grizzlies? Isn't it just a battle for the sixth card position? What's the point of this? Coach D’s possible first defeat is interesting, okay?
Even the Lakers with Kobe and Nash are not interesting. The Lakers without Kobe and Nash would be interesting!
Human beings sometimes have such a bad taste. They will hold something up high and then smash it down hard.
In the current NBA, look at Coach D, how gorgeous and beautiful he is. He will definitely cry out when I punch him, and he will definitely look good when he cries!
It can only be said that in the NBA, such a spectacle is really unheard of. In the NBA, generally speaking, if the main stars take turns to rest, the game will be wasted and the attention will be lost. The league has been focusing on combating this.
But for the current Lakers, the top stars are taking turns taking turns, and the attention to the game has not dropped, but has skyrocketed. There is no one left.
All I can say is that now too many people want to see Coach D continue to win and continue his undefeated career, and too many people want to see Coach D cry.
Such as O'Neal. In the last game between the Lakers and Thunder, in front of a national audience, he was actually laughed at by Howard.
He was so angry that he couldn't eat. In one day, he actually lost a full pound!
"The Lakers' defense line is already weak. Now that Nash and Kobe have taken turns, the only guards available to the Lakers are Meeks, Blake, Chris Duhon, and Darius Morris. Among these guards, Duhon He is the only one with organizational ability, but he is now short and slow, has no offensive threat, and cannot play in the starting lineup. And if I were Monty Williams, even if I only have two hours, I can find a game against the Lakers. Way, it’s too easy, I don’t see any possibility for the Lakers to win in this game!” After O’Neal tasted the sweetness of prediction in the last game, before the game started, O’Neal started his own thoughts on this game. Match predictions.
"Shaq is going to take revenge!" O'Neal swore in the last game that Kobe Bryant would be fired by the Lakers. In the end, Coach D made a move, which gave Howard a slap in the face.
In this game, O'Neal has to fight back. If that's the case, that's great. Since the left cheek was hit by Howard, wouldn't it be nice to get another hit on the right cheek?
"Shaq, do you think Dwight can't lead the team to win? Isn't he worthy of Coach D's trust?"
"He still needs to prove himself."
"Leading the team to the finals, doesn't that prove yourself?"
"Charles, do you think you've proven yourself?"
"..." Damn it! Are you going to fight, you damn fat guy? Buckley took a picture of his cell phone and was about to get up and hit someone.
Then, when the camera pulled back, the pattern on the back of the phone that Barkley just photographed on the table turned out to be the famous scene yesterday when O'Neal was slapped in the face by Howard!
Damn it! This time it was O'Neal's turn to break the defense. Damn big ass, you are such a talent, why the hell didn’t I realize you were so talented before!
On TV, before the game started, O'Neal and Barkley suddenly looked at each other, which made the audience laugh.
Regardless of whether these two people are sincere or fake, don't tell me, the effect of this show is really amazing.
"Shaq, Charles, please stop arguing. Something big is going to happen. Something big is going to happen tonight. The Pelicans have really changed their starting lineup!" Hearing Charles's trembling voice with excitement, O'Neal and Barkley immediately looked to the court.
At this time, all five starting players of the Pelicans have appeared. Center Robin Lopez, power forward Jason Smith, small forward Big Eyebrow, shooting guard Aminu, and point guard Eric Gordon.
"Damn it, Coach D and the Lakers are finished!"
"Hahahaha, let me just say, Howard still needs to prove himself in this game, hahahaha!" Barkley was dumbfounded when he saw the Pelicans' starting lineup, while O'Neal laughed out loud.
"When did Monty become so cruel?" Looking at the Pelicans' starting lineup on the TV, Budenholzer was a little dumbfounded.
Knowing that now that the Lakers don't have Kobe and Nash, they rely on inside offense, and they just use a bunch of inside players on the court to block all the space.
Then on my side, there are all big men who can shoot. If you can't play the big man and can't defend, you have to play the big man and I will fight against the big lineup.
Then Eric Gordon can't control it. He can shoot from the outside and shoot directly through your big man lineup.
This interlocking, vicious and targeted lineup, the kind that cuts the Lakers to death with a blunt knife, kills people and tortures their hearts, is this what this guy Monty can come up with?
"Mike, can't you see? This is Larry's style."
"..." Damn it! Grandmaster? ! That’ll be fine! No wonder there is a familiar smell coming to my face.
No wonder Bobo said this game will be fun. It turns out that Monty was not the head coach of the Pelicans in this game, and the founder personally took action!
etc? Bobo, you won’t take action too, right? Seeing the wicked smile on Popovich's face at this time, Budenholzer felt that his guess was very possible!
Thinking of this, Budenholzer looked at the TV and saw Du Kang, who was still calm and composed on the bench of the Lakers who were in a hurry... To be honest, he used to envy Du Kang. Any NBA coach would see Du Kang as a A head coach would be envious if he could get the traffic that only NBA superstars can get.
After all, the NBA is a business alliance, and traffic sometimes represents your value. If you want to have status, dignity, or traffic in the NBA, like Coach D, when he has traffic, everyone supports him.
Or, like Bobo, use achievements to gain dignity. These two categories are irreplaceable in the NBA.
In addition, any coach is a replaceable consumable. This is also the reason why he has not accepted invitations to teach outside for so many years. He does not want to be that kind of consumable head coach.
He wants to be a head coach with status. If you want to be a high-status head coach in the NBA, you must either have someone above you. The general manager is one of your own, and the boss is one of your own.
And Coach D is the only one in the history of NBA. Such a unique colleague, such a popular colleague, makes people envious, and that is what it should be.
Now that I think about it, it is really not pie in the sky for him to receive such a unique treatment and become the most special head coach in the NBA.
He has been walking on mountains of swords and seas of fire, and through hell and underworld. The team that took over was the f5 Lakers, which made famous coaches scared, and Pop even bluntly said that no one could save them.
He finally found out about the Lakers, won the favor of the media, and was envied by a bunch of peers, who wanted to replace him. It didn't matter, because of his unique coaching style, many big-name coaches in the NBA were itching to mess with him. .
It's just that he is not in his position and does not pursue political affairs. He is already retired. He has a bad reputation for bullying others, so he hired an agent to meet him.
This is too difficult!
"He is still a child!" Well, to the NBA coaching staff, Du Kang's age is indeed considered a child.
so……
"Don't let him go!" I, Mike Budenholzer, can't bear to see a child suffering like this all the time, so give him a quickie!
"..." Popovich looked at the apprentice next to him with a strange expression. Does your whole body still exude that evil aura?
Hehehe, when you go out from now on, don’t say that you are the apprentice of my white-haired and kind old man! …………
"Du, what should we do now?"
"Why did the Pelicans become the starter? This is too unreasonable!" It is indeed unreasonable in the NBA regular season.
Generally speaking, the opponent's stars take turns to rest, and your own team can play how you want. Even if there are changes, it won't be like the Pelicans.
Therefore, both Ham and Clifford were a little too frightened. Howard, who originally wanted to have thick eyebrows for this game, is now gritting his teeth.
If he loses the game, he will be laughed to death. Without Kobe, he can't win. How can he survive in the Lakers in the future?
To put it simply, the Lakers bench was completely compromised by the Pelicans' sudden attack. You don’t talk about the martial ethics of the NBA regular season!
Du Kang understood them. When he was simulating, wasn't he also shattered by the talented coach Monty Williams?
And, you think this is the end? This is actually just the beginning. Looking at the panicked Lakers players and coaching staff around them.
Du Kang smiled. Because he, the backbone of the Lakers, didn't panic, everyone was actually fine. This reflects the advantages of simulation.
If your heart is as clear as ice, you will not be surprised when the sky falls. Everything is changing but still stable, and the spirit is refreshing and calm. This kind of temperament is very able to stabilize people's hearts.
…………
"The temperament is really good, but if you want to be an excellent NBA head coach, just having such a temperament is not enough." Larry Brown held the red wine glass in his hand and looked at the TV with a smile.
The red wine was given by Jordan and he hadn't finished it yet. It was rare to have such leisurely moments. …………
"Dwight, Paul, Earl, Jordan, Devin, come on." After Du Kang named these five names, except for Devin Ebanks, everyone else took off their pants without any hesitation. Ready to play.
"Devin, what's your problem?"
"No, coach!" Back to the starting lineup again! I'm back in the starting lineup for the Lakers! Ebanks was very excited.
He was once one of the top five high school students in the United States, with excellent athletic talent, but apart from his talent, he knew nothing else. He couldn't attack, defend, or run. He was like a useless person.
He is only 23 years old this year, and he doesn’t want to say goodbye to the NBA!
"Devin, when you go up, you don't need to do anything. Don't worry about the team's formation, don't worry about the team's tactics, just follow Eric Gordon!" After hearing Du Kang's instructions, Hamm and Clifford were a little agitated. Meng asked in confusion.
"When the Lakers attack, do they have to follow Gordon?" Du Kang did not look at Hamm and Clifford, but continued to look seriously at Devin Ebanks, the little Ariza who the Lakers had high hopes for back then.
"I don't want you to attack, and I don't want you to defend. As long as Gordon is on the court, even if he squats in the middle circle to smoke, you have to stand next to him with an ashtray."
"Dewen." Du Kang paused and his eyes narrowed. Ebanks immediately stood at attention, not daring to breathe under Du Kang's gaze.
"Cover him!"
"Yes, coach!"... Because the Pelicans suddenly and temporarily changed the starting lineup, the game between the Lakers and the Pelicans was postponed for a few minutes.
The game didn't officially start until 10:45. Seeing the ten starting players of the two teams standing on the court, all the Lakers fans at the scene looked at each other.
"Dad, why do I feel that the stadium is a bit small today?"
"Dad, I feel it too." Faced with their daughter's philosophical question, Kobe and Nash didn't know how to answer it for a while.
The Pelicans have five starters, three 7-foot men, one 2-meter-06, and a guard. The Lakers' five starters include two seven-foot men, two who are over 2.08 meters tall, and one Ebanks who is 2.07 meters tall.
"The Pelicans wanted to squeeze the space, but the coach squeezed the space even tighter. How to play this game?" How to play this game?
There's no way to fight! Sure enough, after the game started, the Lakers fans at the scene and the audience watching the game on TV saw perhaps the ugliest NBA game in their lifetimes!
The five starters of the Lakers have no guards. Everyone can dribble, but they can't dribble fast. No one in the Pelicans can steal the Lakers' big men, so they can only watch the Lakers' big men slowly play a 24-second offense. .
Looking back, the Pelicans have four big men, three of whom can shoot, but the five players on the opposite side are all over 2.07 meters tall, with different heights and wingspans. Except for Gasol, all of them can run and jump. Shooting space.
Then Eric Gordon, the killer the Pelicans put on the court, couldn't get in because the Lakers were so crowded inside.
But outside, this guy Ebanks of the Lakers was just messing around on the court, just following him without doing anything.
Such a big man ran so fast, and it was as if he was beaten to death. Eric Gordon couldn't wait for his Pelicans teammates to punish this messy guy.
Then, Eric Gordon looked inside and cried. Those eight big men were staring at each other, and no one could punish anyone.
Damn it! Monty, didn’t we agree that Coach D would cry in this game? Why do I feel like I'm going to cry first?
!
"I used to think that the finals between the Pistons and Spurs was the ugliest game I've ever seen. Now I think I'm still too naive!"
“Shouldn’t this game be the Pelicans versus the Lakers, Monty Williams versus Coach D?”
"Why do I feel like it's Larry Brown and Popovich who are standing in the dugout in this game?"
"The two teams won't score in single digits in the first quarter, right? This would be too ugly!"
"However, although the game was ugly, did you feel that Coach D's strange formation was very effective in the face of the Pelicans' sudden attack?"
"Farke, let me put it this way, Coach D is really awesome. He is so adaptable on the spot!" Whether it is an ordinary fan in front of the TV or an audience at the scene, the first reaction when watching the first quarter of the game between the Lakers and Pelicans Just ugly.
It doesn't matter what you want, the two teams just grind there slowly. But for some professionals, it's a different feeling.
"I'm sure that the Pelicans must be Larry Brown's handiwork. This old guy can't stand it when he sees Coach D. This guy Monty has been with Larry Brown before!"
"An old guy sneaks up on a young guy? Isn't that bad? But it's really interesting. It makes me want to sneak up on Coach D and play with Coach D!"
"I originally thought that Coach D was just a head coach who liked to play tricks and didn't understand basketball. Now it seems that we were all wrong. His on-the-spot response was definitely not a coach who didn't understand basketball. The first time he met Larry Brown, he could Hand in the answer sheet!" The first quarter of the Lakers and Pelicans game was extremely ugly in the eyes of the fans. At this time, some NBA and NCAA basketball bigwigs from all over the United States were watching with gusto and excitement. Abnormal, and I was stunned to see it.
"Larry Brown, this old boy, played sneak attack, but he didn't win in the end, hahahaha, it made me laugh to death!"......
"This kid..." Larry Brown was holding a red wine glass, the expression on his face was constantly changing. Eric Gordon is the sharp knife he arranged for the Pelicans.
And this kid, just by looking at it, found a very suitable sheath for this sharp knife and put it in it!
If anyone else was in Larry Brown's room at this time, they would be surprised. The red wine glass in Larry Brown's hand was still full, and he hadn't taken a sip.
"Although I am not the one who directs on the spot and the questions do not change all the time, it is not easy to score 100 points on the fixed questions I give." No!
Maybe not 100 points! On TV, it was obvious that the Pelicans players were getting more and more anxious, while the Lakers players were getting more and more excited!
"Awesome!" The media's praise is reasonable, very reasonable! The proud man in the coaching world is well deserved!
......... At the scene of Staples, as the head coach of the Pelicans, Monty Williams originally thought that he could use the tactical lineup arranged by his boss to kill the Lakers without Nash and Kobe.
After all, the tips the big guys gave him were all cheats. He even brought a plug-in to kill a mere coach D. Isn’t this just a drizzle?
What's more, no matter how clever Coach D is, it's hard to make a meal without rice. Any one of the four tips can crush Coach D and the Lakers without Kobe and Nash.
But the current game situation on the court makes Monty Williams confused. The style of this game is wrong!
Shouldn't I be cutting flesh with a dull knife? The more I cut, the more excited I become, and the Lakers become more and more impatient? Why does it feel like my knife is stuck now, and I am not cutting flesh and bleeding, but tickling the Lakers, and then the Lakers are getting more and more excited, and my own hands are getting more and more sore, and I am getting more and more impatient?
So, Mr. Larry Brown, what do I do now? The difficult problem that Coach D has given me now is beyond the scope!
I really want to call Mr. Larry Brown!
"I thought Coach D was a noob like me, but I didn't expect Coach D to be a big boss like Mr. Larry Brown and the others!" This kind of game between big bosses and big bosses is really not for him, a novice. Can participate.
Thinking of this, Monty Williams figured it out. I'm a noob, why do I think about such profound questions?
If you want to think about this kind of problem, it's up to the big guys to think about it themselves. I just want to be a tool to get the big guys’ tricks out of their pockets!
There is no need to panic at all! If the four bosses win, I will make a profit! If the four big guys lose, even the four big guys lose, will I lose?
Of course it’s not a loss either. So, all I have to do now is smile, smile, smile!
.........11 to 9. This is the score of the first quarter between the Lakers and Pelicans. When the first quarter ended, the Staples crowd actually let out a collective sigh of relief.
Not to mention the audience, even Kenny Smith cried.
"I have to doubt the ratings of this game. If the next game..." Before Kenny Smith could finish speaking, the real-time ratings came from behind.
Seeing the above data, Kenny Smith, Barkley and O'Neal were all stunned. So high?
! As long as it's Coach D's game, are you even willing to watch such an ugly game now? Am I a bit behind the times?
Just when Kenny Smith was stunned when he looked at the ratings data, the Lakers audience at the scene let out another burst of exclamations.
"The Pelicans have changed their formation again!"
"..." Looking at Du Kang and Monty Williams who were also smiling on the big screen at this time. This is not a noob pecking each other!
This is a supernova showdown! Barkley, O'Neal, Kenny Smith, the entire arena, and even the audience in front of the TV were stunned!
