After the Los Angeles Derby between the Lakers and Clippers, the Lakers' top four guards did not leave the court immediately.
Instead, under the leadership of Du Kang, they bowed out to the more than 20,000 fans who came to support them in the arena.
In fact, after the game, even the Clippers players who lost the game and were almost defeated did not leave. Instead, they stayed and applauded the wonderful debut of the four guards with the fans.
The NBA is about fighting and killing, but it is also about human nature.
After the game, Chris Paul and Anthony ran over to Iverson to take a photo with him.
There is no doubt that Iverson, who made 13 of 21 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, and 5 of 5 free throws in this game, scored a game-high 32 points in 30 minutes, was one of the biggest focuses after the game.
This performance was outstanding.
Everyone was amazed by the debut of the four guards, including Mai Zi's pull-up and 'Salute to God' celebration, Carter's dunk from behind, and Kobe's amazing ball protection. But the most amazing one among the four is definitely Iver. Sen.
No one expected Iverson to show so much energy in this game.
Judging from the playing time of the four major defenders in this game.
Kobe and Iverson both had 30 minutes.
Carter played 20 minutes.
Maizi played 12 minutes of the first quarter.
It can be seen from the playing time that Maizi's body has definitely not recovered well. In order to protect him, Coach D spent the last quarter at the limit.
As for Carter, probably because of that dunk, Coach D didn't let him play more in order to protect his knees.
But Iverson...
He is the oldest of the four guards, and in this game he was on the same level as Kobe.
As we all know, veterans may have high abilities and strong skills, but their combat effectiveness is actually not high, because their combat effectiveness will gradually decrease with the time they play, until they can no longer run anymore.
And judging from the combat effectiveness shown in the game, it has been at a high level in these 30 minutes.
This is incredible.
In other words, Coach D's high-profile publicity of trust in Iverson before the game was really not a conspiracy, but that Iverson was really worthy of trust.
This is a huge slap in the face to other NBA teams.
Iverson has been unemployed at home for three years, and no NBA team or NBA head coach has given Iverson an important position and signed him against all odds.
In the end, it took three years for Coach D, who had always been ostracized by the professional coaching circle and was considered to be ignorant of football and only capable of intrigues, to sign back to the NBA.
You said, those of you professional head coaches who claim to know a lot about football, would they be very embarrassed?
Or are you feeling incompetent and afraid of not being able to control him?
"Iverson is willing to come to the Lakers to play as a substitute, but he is unwilling to go to other teams to play as a substitute. There is a reason."
"Coach D may not be that strong in ability, but his trust in players and respect for veterans can never be matched by the head coaches of other NBA teams!"
"Look at Kobe, Iverson, Tracy McGrady, Carter... tsk tsk, when they followed Coach D to leave the field, they all followed and followed step by step. This is true respect!"
"The four great guards, the four most unruly giants in the NBA in the previous era, were actually subdued by a rookie head coach in the NBA. It's unbelievable... Larry Brown, Phil Jackson, all these famous NBA coaches have watched it. Are you crying?"
"Do they dare to start these four people at the same time in a game like this? Coach D dares!"
"Because of this, we owe all the glory gained by the four top defenders in this game to Coach D!"
Coach D made this game visible to everyone.
McGrady can also do dry pulls.
Carter can still get airborne.
Iverson can also put butterflies through flowers!
After Du Kang led the four defenders to leave the field for a lap, Du Kang smiled and waved his hand, asking the four to stop following him.
Didn't you see that there were so many media at the scene, all staring at these four people?
In fact, there are more media reporters staring at Du Kang, but at this moment, Du Kang is not accepting any interviews.
"The NBA has never had a head coach with such personality!"
In fact, the NBA has had many individual head coaches, in other words, like Cardinals, Pat Riley, Popovich, and Nelson. Most of these famous coaches have very individual personalities.
However, there really is no one with such a strong personality as Coach D.
As a head coach with a personality, this is the most appropriate time to pretend. No NBA head coach can resist this temptation, using the four major guards as the backdrop.
But Coach D...
"This game is a battle of glory for the four defenders. The four defenders and we all want to give all the glory to Coach D, but Coach D returns all the glory to the four defenders."
"I thought he was a simple pretender, but I didn't expect..."
"It seems that our previous understanding of Coach D was still too superficial."
Du Kang did not accept an on-site interview. He just smiled and stood behind the four defenders with his arms folded.
Well, don’t get me wrong, there is absolutely no intention to supervise what the four people say.
"Allen, congratulations on a perfect comeback."
"Thanks."
The ESPN reporter who was interviewing Allen Iverson had just finished his opening remarks when he was snatched away by a big fat man like a hawk catching a chicken.
The ESPN reporter who had been slipped out was just about to get angry when he looked up...
Damn it, Barkley, O'Neal, Kenny Smith, the TNT gangster trio!
There is no other way around this but to give in.
If you can't be beaten or scolded, then what else can you do? You can only give in.
"Everyone make way, everyone make way, give Shaq a place to perform!"
"..."
Iverson looked at the three members of the TNT team like they were fools.
But when Barkley said this, other reporters around him became excited.
"Charles, are you going to let Shaq kiss a donkey's ass again?"
"You TNT guys are too cruel. Shaq's mouth is still swollen. Even if Shaq has a bad mouth, you can't catch him with such a stinky mouth!"
"Shaq, didn't you just confess your love to Kobe last night and love him ten thousand times? Today you are going to love Allen ten thousand times again?"
"Where's the donkey? Where is Shaq's exclusive old female donkey? Is he going to kiss Charles' ass again?!"
…
…
groove!
You guys are so eloquent, could you please just shut up!
Hearing the mockery from the heartless guys around him, O'Neal almost cried.
Damn it!
"That old female donkey from TNT is on work-related injury leave right now. If you want to see it, we'll let it out to perform after the swelling in its butt goes away. Today is Shaq's one-man show, Shaq, let's get started!"
"Shaq has become too fat, what's the point of performing alone!"
"Yeah, why not ask Bryant to come over and cooperate, hahahaha!"
The entire scene was once again filled with joyful atmosphere.
Damn it!
That damn fat guy is selling his integrity in exchange for money. Why are you looking for me?
Kobe rolled his eyes.
Among the top ten stars in NBA history, counting from beginning to end, no one is as shameless as this fat guy.
Jordan, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic, Russell, Chamberlain, Big Bird, Duncan, O'Neal, Olajuwon, and someone in my department.
Except for my brother and Duncan who did not retire.
Among the other top ten players in history who have retired, which one is for sale?
He doesn’t have the charisma of a top figure in the basketball world at all!
You can either hide like a high-ranking figure, be remembered by others, and admired by future generations.
Even if you want to sell and make money, can you learn from Olajuwon? The money earned by Master Ola is high and big!
How can you be like you? You don't even have the dignity of being one of the top ten in history. That's what clowns are like!
Shame on you!
I am deeply ashamed of myself!
Yesterday, O'Neal confessed to him and kissed his ass. It was simply a nightmare in his life.
Fortunately, with last night's experience, Kobe felt that no matter how hard O'Neal tried, he probably couldn't hurt him.
Sometimes, people always overestimate themselves and underestimate others too much.
Three minutes later...
When O'Neal was wearing only his underpants and strutting around, Kobe, the reporters at the scene, and the audience in front of the TV were all stunned.
Damn it!
TY dance!
Du Kang, who was supervising the four defenders from behind, no, Du Kang, who was protecting the four defenders from behind, was shocked.
This is not a question of whether O'Neal's dance looks good or not.
But, O'Neal, this damn fat guy, was a little coy in front, but he was actually jumping more and more excited in the back!
"Wait a minute, Shaq, our TNT is an all-ages channel!"
The excited O'Neal danced at the end, frightening Kenny Smith and Barkley who were tying him next to him.
After this damn fat man put aside his moral integrity, he was really willing to give up!
At this time, Ke was desperate.
At that moment, he even felt that he never wanted to hear the word OK or the word OK group again.
Damn it, ten or twenty years from now, when others see O'Neal, will they think that someone in my department is also a changed woman?
This time, it was definitely Shaq who did it, and someone in my department definitely didn’t do it!
In short, after O'Neal's output, the surrounding reporters no longer dared to compete with TNT's team.
This is called being shameless, and you will really become invincible.
Since you want to rob Allen, let's give Allen to you first. Let's go interview Kobe, Carter, and Maizi, right?
After they dispersed, for a while, only these three perverts from TNT were left around Iverson.
The four major guards are all famous veterans who have been in the NBA for many years.
Although Iverson has become somewhat unfamiliar with dealing with these things over the years.
But overall, I still haven't been tricked by these three people from TNT.
This made Du Kang, who was staring behind him, nod with relief.
Now that the Lakers have four major guards, they are even more of a powder keg.
Again, the American media likes to make things out of nothing.
There was no conflict originally, but when the whole world is saying that you have a conflict, you may really believe that the other party does not like you, and we may really have such a thing as a conflict.
Being the head coach of a traffic team is not an easy task.
And Du Kang also wants to lead such a traffic team to win the championship.
Every little detail needs attention.
"Allen, will your outstanding performance in this game change your position in Coach D's heart? Maybe you are more suitable for the starting position than Kobe or Steve. Do you think so?"
Look, whatever comes to mind comes to you.
"Allen, if Coach D still lets you come on the bench, will your trust in Coach D change?"
It's a pity that Iverson at this time is no longer the young man who couldn't bear any grievance when he first debuted. At the same time, they also underestimated Iverson's trust in Du Kang.
"In the Los Angeles Lakers, there is only one voice, and that is the voice of the coach. Steve, Bryant, TMC, and UFO are all willing to listen to this voice, and I am willing to give everything for this voice."
Listen, how heartwarming it is. Du Kang smiled and nodded in his heart while listening.
Although Kobe and Carter didn't say it as nicely as Iverson, they pretty much meant the same thing.
That is, for the Los Angeles Lakers, what we say does not matter, what the coach says counts. Don’t ask me this kind of question, ask the coach, we will do whatever he asks us to do. This kind of question is not something I, a young player, can answer.
It can be said that it gave Du Kang enough face.
Well, only one person was surprised, and that was Maizi.
"TMC, your starting performance in this game was excellent. Do you want to continue to be the team's starting position?"
"Hahahaha, of course, that's what I came to the Lakers to do!"
Maizi thought he was very handsome and confident in answering the reporter's question.
As soon as he finished speaking, Maizi suddenly felt a chill running down his spine, as if a sharp gaze was scratching his back.
Chill!
Maizi looked back and saw that there was no one behind him.
"Is it an illusion?"
Well, it must be an illusion!
I'm so excited today, so I'm very energetic.
After confirming that the coach was no longer here, Maizi became more confident and unrestrained.
After Du Kang left the court, he was led to the post-match press conference by on-site staff.
Live interviews are different from post-match press conferences.
Although there are many reporters covering the scene, the post-game press conference is actually where the most reporters are.
As soon as Du Kang came in, all the reporters sitting inside stood up and applauded Du Kang.
Let's put it this way, in the turn-based game of the NBA, as long as you can win and keep winning, then you are God, and all you need to do is enjoy the glory and praise.
What's more, in this game, he was so coquettish and dazzling as he prepared the starting four defenders.
However, with Du Kang's current traffic in the NBA, there are naturally many people who want to mess with him.
The Lakers performed well tonight, and the most disappointed people are undoubtedly the Boston media and Larry Brown coaches.
"Coach D, congratulations on winning another game. This is your 12th consecutive victory after coaching the Lakers. Moreover, your use of the four major guards in this game was very successful. Tonight's starting lineup for the Lakers will be Becoming a regular starting lineup for the Lakers? Are you worried about them not being able to accept the bench?"
"Coach D, in your game against the Clippers, most of the players you used were veterans over 30 years old. Are you worried that they will become more and more unstable as the schedule progresses? Are you worried? What is the age structure of the Los Angeles Lakers now?”
Du Kang has never been used to facing these troublesome problems.
Du Kang's famous scene was to antagonize the Heat's team reporters and ruin the Heat's affairs.
Du Kang looked at the reporters below who were asking questions frantically, and they looked familiar.
"Are you all reporters from Boston?"
"Coach D, I protest! Where we are reporters has nothing to do with the questions we ask!"
Seeing Du Kang ask this, the Boston reporters at the scene were very excited. Coach D, you are a smart man. You don’t want to be enemies with all reporters, right?
"Well, you're right."
Du Kang smiled and nodded.
After Du Kang was really kidnapped by morality and surrendered, these reporters in Boston became even more excited.
"Coach D, Doug and the Boston Celtics all hope that the four top guards can start the next game. Can you satisfy Doug and our wish?"
You are treating the four defenders as Tang Monk meat and soft persimmons.
The Lakers players who had returned to the locker room after the on-site interview at this time saw the scene of Du Kang being interviewed on TV, and the expressions on their faces were not very good.
"They are Tracy McGrady, Carter, Iverson and Kobe."
On the TV, Du Kang said with a smile.
The Boston reporter below seemed to smile without any respect at the names of the four players read out by Du Kang.
"Coach D, the Kobe you are talking about is Kobe Bryant who made 1 of 8 in the last game and 3 of 9 in this game. He scored 11 points in two games?"
After the Boston reporter finished speaking, not only the Boston reporter, but also many other reporters around him laughed knowingly.
Seeing this scene on the big screen, the Lakers locker room was eerily quiet.
Even Howard's face didn't look very good at this time.
These bullshit Boston reporters!
Are you mentally ill?
Can't you just watch that old guy forge in peace like this beast?
We must stimulate our coach. If our coach gives that old guy another magical weapon, I will never end it with you!
Facing these arrogant Boston reporters, Du Kang on the big screen remained silent. He just smiled and touched the golden wristband on his hand.
"Coach D..."
"Your question time is over!"
The Lakers press officer at the scene wanted to stop him, but to his surprise, Du Kang waved his hand and told the press officer to leave.
"explain."
"Coach D, last question, do you really believe that a team with a bunch of veterans and one idiot can win the championship?"
…
…
Jenny Bass was also curious at this time and wanted to see how Du Kang would answer.
Because she also had this question in her mind.
Du Kang raised the tone so high, where did his confidence come from?
The reason why she is still confident despite being deflated is because of Jim's promise, and because the Lakers are now a team of veterans and a fool.
Unfortunately……
…
…
"Have you finished asking?"
"Finished asking, but you haven't answered yet."
"After the next game between the Lakers and Celtics, if you still have such questions, I will answer them."
Du Kang stood up with a smile and left the post-match press conference.
Damn it!
When the reporters in Miami saw this scene, they looked so damn familiar!
He is still so elegant and easy-going.
but!
"Coach D is definitely going to cause trouble in the next game!"
…
…
Du Kang was not angry at being questioned like this by Boston reporters. The top four guards were not angry at being looked down upon by Boston reporters. On the contrary, Howard was very angry.
"Steve, YI, AI, do you think I'm old? I'm only 29 years old. This is the peak age of a center. How dare they call me old!"
"..."
For a moment, the Lakers locker room was silent.
…
…
"This fool!"
When Maizi returned to the hotel, he thought about Howard and chuckled disdainfully.
This Laker is so damn interesting!
The former boss Kezi now seems to have lost his spirit and even abandoned the locker room.
The current boss Hua Zi is an idiot.
And Nash, Yi and Iverson, the team's most trusted coaches, are indifferent.
Looking at it this way...
Farke!
I'm Mai, I'm smart, handsome, and suave. As long as I can fawn over the coach, I might be able to become the goat of the Lakers locker room!
I originally came here wanting to be Kezi's deputy goat, but now, I actually have the opportunity to be the main goat!
Isn’t this so cool?
The game against the Clippers and the current situation in the Lakers locker room really made Maizi full of confidence in his future.
With such a beautiful mood, Maizi fell into sleep.
"Ding, do you want to understand the meaning of basketball and truly live?"
Damn it, how could my dream be so clear and awake tonight?
Moreover, isn't it my dream tonight to lead O'Neal to kill everyone, win the fourth championship, and surpass that little loser Kezi?
"Do you want to understand the meaning of basketball and truly live?"
Maizi was confused, what on earth is this?
Maizi finally prepared to order Yes with his trembling little hands.
You can't just go NO, right?
Although he was dreaming, he didn't want to die!
"Ding, the copy of Old Dream is open. The name of the copy is 35 seconds and 13 minutes. Level difficulty: Gold (Nightmare). Clearance requirement: Defeat the Spurs."
After Maizi clicked Yes, the scene in the dream changed drastically in an instant.
35 seconds and 13 minutes?
I'm familiar with this!
Isn't it just to beat the Spurs?
This is easy!
"Ding, identity matching begins, matching player: Yao Ming."
"..."
After a game.
"Fuck! Why did the game collapse in the third quarter? My 35 seconds and 13 points!"
After the second game.
"Shit! Why did it collapse again? You guys held on until the last 35 seconds?!"
After the third game.
"TMC, you're really trying your best. Where's Tienima, is it easy for me to get a position under the basket and block Duncan?!"
Game 4.
"TMC, you can shoot less, pass the ball, wait until the last 35 seconds of the game and then attack like crazy!"
…
…
After the tenth game.
"TMC, I'm going to kill your whole family!!!!"
…
…
"Ding, your player Tracy McGrady is on the verge of an emotional breakdown in the player copy. Will the copy continue?"
Du Kang looked at the time. Well, only 10 minutes had passed since the tenth game.
"continue."
Half an hour later.
"Ding, your player Tracy McGrady's defensive stability attribute +1."
"Ding, your player Tracy McGrady's shooting IQ +1."
…
…
"Ding, your player Tracy McGrady has awakened character team spirit level 1. Your player Tracy McGrady has fallen into despair in the player copy. Can you please continue the copy."
oh? So this is how this reward is used!
"continue."
Du Kang squinted his eyes, smiled and nodded.
Maizi, we will fight till dawn!
…
…
This is the first update today.
