Intermission. In the locker room of the Los Angeles Lakers at Staples, the faces of the Lakers players were filled with joy.
Everyone was smiling like a flower at this time, and they all looked like the kind of people who had walked out of hell and entered heaven.
At this time, there was no longer any uneasiness that he had when facing Monty Williams' sneak attack. If you switch to the picture of the Lakers being frightened by Monty Williams at the beginning of this game, it will definitely be incredible.
However, that's how interesting it is. NBA players' emotions change so rapidly.
In this cheerful Lakers locker room, there is no doubt that, apart from the head coach Du Kang, the two Lakers players who performed the best in the first half are the ones who attract the most attention.
The fringe players looked at Ebanks with envy. Ariza, who was about to leave the NBA, once again got a starting opportunity. Although he didn't score a single point in the entire quarter, the coach was very satisfied.
In the Lakers, a team where the head coach has become the boss, as long as they get the favor of the coach, it is basically equal to the hope of taking off.
At the very least, I won't worry about leaving the team or the NBA. Even if you can't be a role player in the future, you can still get a contract at the water dispenser. Looking at the water dispenser, it's a high salary with an annual salary of one million.
How can this not be enviable? The role players looked at Yi Jianlian with envy, the coach's fellow countryman. After being restricted by the Thunder's Ibaka in the previous game, this game showed another performance like the Lakers' Nowitzki.
Yi Jianlian made 7 of 9 in the second quarter, 1 of 2 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 17 points. He defeated the Pelicans' Ryan Anderson and became a Staples hero.
I originally thought that Nash and Kobe were not the team's best players, and coupled with the Pelicans' sneak attacks that did not follow the rules of the regular season, this game might be lost.
I didn’t expect that the coach could be so strong! I thought Monty Williams was already strong, but the coach turned out to be even stronger!
I thought the coach was playing a mental game. Unexpectedly, basketball tactics are actually not bad. Think about the coach's background again. He is from the No. 1 team in the NCAA and is a disciple and grandson of John Wooden, the first godfather of basketball in the United States.
Isn't it ridiculous that people from such a wealthy family dare to say that the coach is just a head coach who is playing tricks?
The Lakers played very well in the first half. Monty Williams' sneak attack did not defeat the team, but instead gave the Lakers a 5-point lead 45-40.
From the perspective of the Lakers players, no matter how strong Monty Williams was, he was only like this in the first half. He couldn't be able to take out two knives to chop people in the second half, right?
If this is really the case, how will everyone face the term "rookie coach" in the future? Don't talk about other people.
Even Yi Jianlian thinks so. The Pelicans probably ran out of tricks in the first half. If there are still twists and turns in the second half, if Monty Williams makes another mistake.
Then wouldn't the rookie coach have to go straight to the sky like the Konoha genin? Now the important players of the Lakers are thinking about whether they can produce some good data and perform well in the second half.
After a long time, the boss of Ke and Master Na are not here. If we don't express ourselves and get the data at this time, when will we wait?
Even Arab League thought so. Du Kang asked him to complete the task of hitting 10 mid-range shots 10 times in a single game this regular season.
He hasn't finished a single game now. This is a bit embarrassing. Yi Jianlian carefully calculated his own statistics in the first half. He made a total of 5 mid-range shots, completed a dunk, and completed a 3-pointer.
He is still far away from hitting 10 mid-range shots in a single game. If I had known about that dunk, I wouldn't have been cool. There was no one to defend me, and I could have hit the mid-range shot.
There is also the three-point pull-up. Ryan Anderson was already at a loss, and he could pull out even if he suddenly stepped into the three-point line.
It was all caused by being too excited. When I got emotional, I couldn't hold it back and acted a little bit cool.
Look, this is still the United Arab Emirates. Ah Lian is actually quite reserved. For example, Howard, standing next to Du Kang, his face was about to burst with flattery.
"Coach, I only played 12 minutes in the first half, and it was the rubbish 12 minutes in the first quarter. There were no data. I almost fell asleep standing there. Coach, I want to play the whole game in the second half!"
"Dwight, are you teaching me how to do something?"
"Coach, what you say is what it is. I will always be loyal to you. I am your Huo Zhongcheng!" Seeing Du Kang's eyes narrowed, Howard immediately understood that the coach with this expression must not be messed with!
At this time, you must show loyalty. Although it is disgusting, it is very effective for a simple young tool like the coach!
"Don't worry, you have plenty of opportunities in the second half." Seeing Du Kang open his eyes again and smile, Howard breathed a sigh of relief.
"Coach, are you really not angry with me anymore?"
"Does it mean that in Dwight's mind, I am the kind of black-hearted head coach who cares about everything?"
"Of course not!" Howard's funny look next to Du Kang made the entire Lakers locker room burst into laughter.
Howard himself didn't feel embarrassed at all, and laughed happily there. It may seem incredible to say it.
In the Pelicans locker room not far away. At this time, there was also constant laughter and laughter. Being down five points in the first half was nothing.
Did we play the main team in the first half? Except for the first section, everyone grinded on it until they almost fell asleep.
In the second quarter, except for Ryan Anderson, all other players were rotation players, and Rivers Jr. was already considered an important member of them.
Even Rivers Jr. and Ryan Anderson are actually the team's substitutes. In other words, for the Pelicans, they entered the second half of this game without any consumption at all.
The key is that his head coach didn't expect to be so strong, and he responded to the Lakers' playing styles one after another. If they don't kill the Lakers and get Coach D's first kill, the main players of the Pelicans will feel sorry for their head coach's whims in the first half.
However, compared with the confident Pelicans players, although there was a smile on his face at this time, Monty Williams was not so confident in his heart.
Or have no confidence at all. Children, the talented head coach you think is actually a parallel import!
The rookie head coach you just kept saying you wanted to kill is the real super genius, the kind who has reached the level of a boss at a young age!
So, kids, your useless rookie head coach is extremely flustered right now! If I didn't have two tips now, I would have wanted to cry!
At this time, Monty Williams was very timid, but the sunny and confident smile on his face could not change, and he could not say these words.
It’s not easy to get such an opportunity in life. If you don’t gain a reputation with the team, will you continue to be a nanny-type head coach in the future?
He is not a fool! He didn't dare think about defeating Coach D. It was useless for him to think about such a thing. Now he just wants to win 50-50, even if he loses 50-50, it doesn't matter.
But the performance of the two teams in the first half scared him. Especially when I think about the way Coach D looked at him when he shook hands with him before the game started, and his smile, it really made people care.
Fortunately, he still has two tips. But even if I still have two tips left... I'm still very weak now!
He, an ordinary person, stood on the battlefield of five big bosses, making people mistakenly think that he was also a big boss. Just when Monty Williams was worrying about the consequences of being inadvertently caught up in the boss's void confrontation and being inadvertently led away by the boss, his cell phone rang.
When Monty Williams looked at the caller ID, he was stunned for a moment, and then became excited in an instant. Damn it!
My savior is here! When I saw Monty Williams receiving a phone call, he was so excited that he hid in a corner and whispered.
The Pelicans players at the scene were very puzzled, but they didn't dare to say anything. Monty Williams' performance so far in this game has greatly increased his prestige with the team.
Even if he doesn't defeat Coach D in the end, he can still have a 50-50 draw with Coach D. Is this something that an average head coach can do?
Even if NBA players have IQ problems, they still know that Monty Williams will definitely be out of the pool in the future.
At the very least, no one will treat him as a nanny-type coach anymore.
"Mr. Nelson, is it really unnecessary?"
"It turns out it's useless. Yes, I understand, but, is this really useful?"
"Don't worry, I will definitely implement your plan!" Well, I didn't dare to shout out, but the trembling and firm voice should make the other party feel my determination.
Hang up on Nelson. Monty Williams was honestly still very shocked.
Mr. Nelson actually took the initiative to admit defeat, scrapped his last tip, and then gave him fine-tuning and updated the tip.
However, if you think about it a little, it’s actually normal. Even Mr. Larry Brown, Mr. Pat Riley failed.
In his rookie mind, Coach D's strength is slowly rising. He can see how powerful Coach D is. Can Mr. Nelson still see it?
Obviously, Mr. Nelson's previous tip was to test the strength of Coach D and the curiosity of the elders towards the younger ones. But this time... is Mr. Nelson going to be serious?
No matter how. Mr. Nelson has updated and strengthened his tips bag, which is equivalent to strengthening his strength.
Well, when I think about it, my confidence suddenly rises! Will Bobo also call later?
Monty Williams stood in the corner looking at his phone and giggling, which made Pelicans players like Brother Big Eyebrow surprised and curious.
"This is the peculiarity of genius." Eric Gordon said lightly after taking a look at the thick eyebrow brother's eyebrows.
Just then, Monty Williams' cell phone rang again. Monty Williams got excited again when he saw the name on his phone.
…………
"I'm also here to update tactics?" Popovich was stunned for a moment, with a smile on his face, but he was not surprised.
"Mr. Nelson updated your tactics?" Mr. Nelson? ! Is my second uncle, Mr. Nelson, alarmed?
! Next to Popovich, Budenholzer's originally surprised face was filled with shock. Coach D is really so virtuous and talented that even his old man was alarmed!
His teacher Popovich has two masters in the NBA, one is Larry Brown, and the other is Nelson.
Therefore, Larry Brown is his ancestor. Mr. Nelson was his second uncle. Grandmaster is closer to everyone.
But who do you respect more? Needless to say, of course it’s the second uncle! If there is a goat in the coaching world.
If you were to judge goat by the number of championships, then Phil Jackson would definitely be the winner. If you look at goat in terms of influence, prestige, control over the team, and the most profound spiritual and cultural attributes of the team, the Cardinal is naturally the only candidate.
But if you talk about the goat in terms of pioneering and innovating basketball concepts, leading changes in the era of basketball, changing basketball skills, tactics, and coaching, then it must be Mr. Nelson.
Therefore, no matter how you arrange it, even if the second uncle never wins a championship, he is still one of the four greatest head coaches in the NBA, and he is also one of the two most respected head coaches in the coaching world.
No, there are not three of them. Where can we find the four greatest head coaches? Of course there is the old master who is on the phone.
Bobo was not the goat in the first three selections, but he was very strong in each one!
If we want to take a comprehensive view, Bobo is the goat. However, this kind of comprehensive goat always feels less convincing, a bit like the kind that is piled up by bits and pieces of honors, making Bobo look like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the coaching world.
However, there is nothing we can do about it. In the NBA coaching world, there really is no recognized goat. There are only four goat alternatives: Cardinal, Nelson, Bobo and Phil Jackson.
etc? A recognized goat in the coaching world? Could it be him?
"I'm afraid I'm not crazy!" He actually thought of the young head coach of the Lakers just now. Where is he now? He is recognized as a goat by the coaching community?
But... looking at the master who was on the phone at this time, Budenholzer fell silent again. A 23-year-old young head coach shocked four great players in one game and defeated two of them!
It also makes two Goat candidates in the NBA coaching world be so cautious... Fake! He felt that if he didn't remember this person's name just now, he must be arrogant!
It’s so shocking that it’s stunning!
"Monty, since Mr. Nelson has updated his playing style, I don't need to use mine."......
"No need, why?"......
"Well..." Popovich looked at the Spurs schedule hanging next to him, with an excited smile on his face.
"I want to try it myself!" Popovich said, and Budenholzer next to him was stunned. …………
"What kind of monster is my opponent tonight!" Monty Williams was also stunned after hanging up the phone.
He was actually lucky enough to be able to fight with such a person at close range tonight! It is even possible to defeat him... At the end of the intermission, Du Kang led the Los Angeles Lakers players out of the locker room.
At this time, all the Lakers players on the court were full of confidence that they would win this battle, but they looked like they didn't know how many data they would need to collect.
Du Kang himself was actually holding back his energy at this time. Monty Williams, his lifelong enemy, had tricked him into almost losing his mentality today.
If he doesn't beat him to the ground in this game, then he will be sorry for his MPs! In the second half of the game, whether it was U-passing or Nelson's running and gunning, he was very confident!
It took Howard so long to recharge his batteries in the first half, why? The purpose is to defeat Monty Williams in the second half!
Du Kang squinted his eyes and looked at the passage on the other side. At this time, Clifford and Ham next to Du Kang subconsciously stayed away from Du Kang.
Damn it, Du seems to be emitting black gas now!
"Finally out!" Du Kang saw Monty Williams, his eyes opened again, and the smile appeared on his face again.
When Monty Williams saw Du Kang, he saw that this young master was so gentle. Although he was nervous, he still had his signature sunny smile on his face.
"Sure enough, he is my lifelong enemy!" Du Kang nodded, his bearing was really good. Bisbo, Rivers and others are much more handsome.
only……
"Next, let's start hunting!" Du Kang turned around and sat back in his head coach's seat in a cool and handsome manner.
Then...fuck! Didn’t the Pelicans’ starting center have thick eyebrows in the third quarter? Isn't it going to be a run-and-gun attack?
! Robin Lopez What's going on? ! Playing small forward with thick eyebrows? Is Aminu the power forward? !
"Why the fuck did he change his formation again?!" This lifelong enemy of mine must be poisonous! The smile on Du Kang's face froze, and his heart was already going crazy.
On the court, Howard was equally miserable.
"Coach, did you say that the second half will be the stage for me to perform?!" Howard almost cried!
"Sure enough, my coach is too shady!" On the other side, Yi Jianlian was actually very uncomfortable.
Aminu is tall, has long arms, has strength, and is good defensively. The key is that he suddenly started his third party!
All in all, this was definitely not the way the Pelicans played in the first two quarters. That is to say!
"Monty Williams changes again!"
"The magical showdown between Monty Williams and Coach D continues!"
"Incredible game, incredible showdown!"......
"Dirk, are you familiar with this?" Looking at the embarrassed Chinese power forward on TV, Nowitzki smiled bitterly and nodded.
"Mr. Nelson's education is something I will never forget forever." Without Mr. Nelson's final education in 2007, he would not have achieved the greatness he did in 2011.
How could he forget? Could it be? ! Nowitzki suddenly stood up when he thought of something.
"Mr. Nelson is not testing Coach D. He is helping Coach D train Yi, or is he testing Yi?!" Is it because the Yi in the second quarter reminded Mr. Nelson of the king in his dream?
! The expression on Nowitzki's face kept changing. …………
"Coach D, can you help him stand up?" Coach D, can you realize my unfulfilled dream? A slightly fat old man looked at the tall and battered figure on the TV. The smile on his face was very regretful and very sad. Melancholy, I finally closed my eyes and drank the cup of tea in my hand.
The fragrance of tea is far-reaching and difficult to dissipate for a long time, like memories and regrets...
"Show me the trust between you!"......
"Du, we can't let Yi be on top anymore!" Ham next to Du Kang was almost going crazy with worry. Even Clifford was very sympathetic to Ham and winked at Du Kang.
But Du Kang, who was standing on the sidelines, remained unmoved and expressionless, as if he didn't know what the situation was like for the Lakers on the court.
"Du!" No one knew his same mood at this time. Can't simulate it for the first time! The result of the first time is unknown!
but! He is my choice! I believe in him!
"Du!" Harm yelled again. This time, Du Kang finally spoke. The voice was still calm, without the slightest fluctuation.
But his tone was very firm.
"Yi, don't move!" Monty Williams! Why are you so strong! No matter whether you lose or win this game, you will wait for me from now on!
! I will take revenge! .........This is the second time that Fisherman has written a coaching article. The narrative perspective of the coaching article is indeed completely different from that of the player article. When Dusk Star asked me to write a coaching article again, I was probably afraid of this.
The narrative angle and method of coaching articles are refreshing, which will really make book friends who are used to reading articles about players uncomfortable. The fisherman himself has not written a coaching article in ten years, and he is afraid that he will not be able to write well if he is not used to it, so sometimes he writes Very uneasy.
Since I haven't saved the manuscript in the past two days, I wrote quick words in order to put it on the shelves. I was really afraid that the quantity would harm the quality. I really didn't expect everyone to be so loving.
Finally, I would like to thank Congolese Book Friends 1500 for the reward. Thank you for your support. It's been on the shelves in the past two days, so I have a lot to say, sorry.
