The conversation with Auden ended in the office. Du Kang took the Lakers players to San Antonio.
Oden is the big center that Du Kang has high hopes for, a combination of Duncan and O'Neal, a combination of Chamberlain and Russell, a combination of Yao Ming and O'Neal... It's definitely not a combination of who Oden is and who. A combination of Nowitzki and Garnett.
For such a player with the potential to become a super center, Du Kang will definitely not let him take the all-around route.
A center cannot be allowed to shoot outside. If there are too many outside shots, no center will be willing to go to the basket and fight with people.
Look at the current beasts, there is only one word for them, disgusting with the basket. Howard, there was no way. He really couldn't attack at the basket, so Du Kang gave him three-pointers.
As long as Howard has offensive potential under the basket, Du Kang will not develop Howard's three-pointers. In the entire history of the NBA, there has never been an all-around center who can dominate the basket and the three-point line.
You can shoot three-pointers, but you can't shoot them too well, as they can easily become addictive. Don't talk about power center, let's talk about power forward.
Du Kang felt that if Garnett's shooting was not so good, his achievements and strength might be greater.
Like Duncan, he can shoot, but not that well. He can use it at critical moments, but in order to be efficient, he mainly has to shoot at the basket, which is the most perfect situation inside.
The benchmark for power backs, didn't Nowitzki become a god after being taught the last lesson by Nelson and developing the offense under the basket?
There are so many examples before, and Du Kang is not stupid. It would be a big loss to train the dominant center Oden to a power forward.
Even if a power back reaches Nowitzki's level, it is easy to be targeted, not to mention that the power back strength of Howard and Oden is far inferior to Nowitzki.
Seeing Oden and Howard become power forwards, this old guy Popovich is probably snickering.
Du Kang gave Oden a copy of Yao Ming's Old Dream Card in the Departure Game, thinking that Yao Ming would sharpen him.
Unexpectedly, Oden was directly diagnosed with mental illness... This is all. Du Kang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He couldn't get a hair dryer on Oden yet. After all, it was him who fixed the matter. It was his own lack of consideration, and it was not Oden's fault.
When meeting Dayao from CBA, Oden still used the body of the God of War. Even if Jordan were to replace Oden and use the body of the God of War to fuck Dayao, he would eventually be left with a psychological shadow.
This is different from Maizi. After all, Maizi still has Yao Ming's body, and the physical difference between him and Duncan is actually not that big. Maizi still has hope of beating Duncan under the basket.
Oden, there really is no hope at all. If Oden hadn't been trained by his former player Meng Kali, Oden would have been destroyed.
Even though he was so miserable, Oden never committed suicide once, which shows that he is strong, at least stronger than Maizi.
"If you can't beat Duncan, you can't beat Duncan." The intensity of the playoffs is different from the intensity of the regular season, and the opponent is still the Spurs.
Duncan is not as easy to play as DeAndre Jordan. Du Kang is really worried that Oden and Maizi, two fragile men, will have problems under the Spurs' basket.
Although Popovich seems to have changed his ways now. But judging from Popovich's performance on the sidelines in Game 1 of the Spurs and Warriors playoffs, this old guy was just faking it. Before Ginobili made the buzzer-beater, he almost cried after being scolded by Popovich.
Who knows if this kind-looking old guy will suddenly pull out a machete from behind.
When playing against the Spurs, you not only have to win, but you also have to win the ball healthily. Without Westbrook, the Thunder fell directly from the favorites to win the championship.
Although he has a system, but now he has no MP and the players are injured, there is really nothing he can do. If you want to win the championship, strength is very important. At the same time, it is also very important for men to learn to protect themselves.
Du Kang felt that he had learned something more.
"Ding, your defensive ability has been adjusted to b-, please check it carefully." Oh? What about the defensive ability?
Du Kang was very happy. After entering the playoffs, his abilities and attributes have been rising steadily. Position: Los Angeles Lakers head coach Contract: 2 years, 6 million US dollars MP points: 125 Offense: b-Defense: b-Player review: c+ Player training: c Potential: A+ Du Kang feels that his current attributes are better than those at the end of the regular season many.
Mainly because the offense and defense broke through to b- one after another. He is now considered a B-level head coach.
"I can only say that the playoffs really train people." Du Kang smiled. The playoffs not only train players.
Head coaches can also work out. Some NBA head coaches will never make it to the playoffs. Some NBA head coaches will never make it past the first round of the playoffs.
It can only be said that he has achieved achievements in the past half month that many NbA head coaches cannot achieve in their lifetime.
With his A+ level potential and understanding, it is normal for his offense and defense to break through the limits after a series.
In addition, Du Kang's system proficiency is also very ideal. The proficiency of the rhythm and space system has reached 85, and the proficiency of the balance system has reached 60 or above.
To balance the proficiency of the system, Du Kang piled up the best bronze reward in two months, which was raised to 78. This time in the playoffs with the Clippers, it reached 80.
Now the Coach of the Month for April is out again, and it’s him again. Du Kang thought for a while, and then added these 10 points of proficiency to the system that focused on insiders, and the system proficiency also became 75.
Du Kang feels that he is getting closer to UcLA's air-cutting system. After Du Kang looked away from his attribute interface, he thought about his two big centers Oden and Howard, all floating outside, and couldn't help but want to laugh.
After Oden developed internal phobia, he could no longer attack the basket. He passively protected himself and relieved Du Kang from worrying.
With Howard's three-pointer, his offense no longer reaches the basket. He saves energy on the offensive end and can leave more energy on the defensive end, passively supporting the Lakers' defensive system.
Howard has been having back problems and has been on a yellow alert. In the past, Du Kang hoped that Howard could either defend or attack, but did not want him to do both.
Now that Howard has mastered three-pointers, his offense is easier and he can naturally defend with all his strength. This is a great thing for Du Kang and the Lakers.
In this way, Howard can better protect the two crispy players of Maizi and Oden. Well, of course it can also do more dirty work.
This season, after he coached the Lakers, Howard did all the team's dirty work. Originally, Du Kang was thinking that Howard's favorable opinion of him would exceed 90, and that golden potential card would allow Howard to improve his free throws or mid-range shots.
However, his goodwill remained silent for a long time. Du Kang finally gave this golden potential card to Nash to help Nash improve his stealing attributes.
More than 3,000 mp + 1 golden potential card helped Nash improve the steal, and by the way, he learned the purple-level interceptor skill.
A loss is definitely not a loss. But it’s also true that with so many resources there are better options. But Du Kang didn't regret it at all.
Nash and Howard are the two players who have helped him the most since he coached the Lakers. One offense and one defense, his contribution is still higher than that of Corvo.
Well, Corvo has been suppressed by him, and he can't contribute even if he wants to. Considering Nash's contribution to him, this effort is nothing to fulfill Nash's obsession with the Spurs.
However, this also made Du Kang feel a little guilty towards Howard. Howard was superficially loyal to him.
But a gentleman's actions don't matter his heart, and Howard was really loyal to him on the surface, 100% loyal to him. Howard.
Favorability towards you: 89
"That old guy Kobe has been ruined by the coach. He can only defend and assist. He is a perfect second player. The coach has created a perfect second player for me. If the Lakers win the championship, I will definitely be FmVp!" Finally he is no longer a tool man.
At the same time, Howard is now very motivated to win the championship. Well, the stronger Corvo is, the more motivated Howard will be.
You two are really enough! I really can't stand you two being enemies. …………
"Teacher Ke, Teacher Huo, we must come back with two consecutive victories!"
"Hahahaha, kids, don't worry. With my Warcraft here, the Lakers are invincible!" Looking at Howard among the children, who was laughing with his hands on his hips.
Kobe had a smile on his face and said nothing. After bidding farewell to the children at Kobe Bryant's training camp, Howard was in a very good mood.
Kobe Bryant's Lakers were occupied by him. Kobe's training camp was also occupied by him. This sense of accomplishment is great!
"Bryant, don't worry, even if you..., ahem, don't worry, I won't abandon you, and I will protect you from now on!"
"..." Kobe, who was patted on the shoulder by Howard, looked at Howard's confident back as he left and was speechless for a moment.
Did this idiot just accept me as his younger brother? ......... After finishing the morning training and talking to Oden, Du Kang led the Lakers to San Antonio.
On the plane, most of the Lakers players were very excited. The Western Conference semifinals, and the Western Conference finals in advance.
With Westbrook's injury, the Thunder lost the strength to win the championship. Whoever can make it to the Western Conference Finals, the Lakers or the Spurs, can make it to the Finals.
Media experts all said that this was the Western Conference Finals that was staged in advance, and there was nothing wrong with it at all. Veterans like the Lakers like to play such exciting games.
If you are too ordinary, they really won’t be excited. This is also the disadvantage of being a veteran, and it is also the benefit of being a veteran.
When young people encounter such a game, they also need Du Kang's painstaking psychological massage. Veterans don't need this at all.
Of course, there are also people who are silent on airplanes. For example, Nash, Kobe, Yi Jianlian, Oden, and Maizi. The reasons vary.
Corvo must feel that he still hasn't found his shot yet. There is no way to face the Spurs in the strongest posture. As a Spurs killer, it is a pity that I can't kill the enemy now.
He has even become the Lakers' weakness predicted by media experts in this series. And Oden, well, now he has a psychological problem. Although Du Kang didn't criticize him at all, he was still very sad.
Nash, Yi Jianlian, Maizi... these three are very simple. That is revenge.
"The Spurs team is really guilty." Whether in reality or in a dream card.
It can only be said that in the past 15 years, the Spurs have been the biggest boss team in the NBA. Du Kang hopes that one day, there will be a bunch of dream cards in the system with his Laker as the boss.
This will be his greatest achievement. Sometimes, Du Kang really admires the Spurs team.
They may not be a dynasty team. But they are the past 15 years of NbA history. A history that no winning team can escape.
And now, he is about to face the most special team in the NBA in the past fifteen years. excited! Excited!
It’s hard to control myself! Of course, on the surface, his expression was still as silent as Corvo's. Just when Du Kang got off the plane and set foot on the land of the Holy City with such a surging mood.
The system also surged with him.
"Ding, congratulations, you have triggered the hidden mission, 'To level the Holy City'. You and the three important players of your team all want to level the Spurs in this series. The mission requirements are that in this series with the Spurs , the Lakers need to defeat the Spurs to advance, and the average playing time of Tracy McGrady, Yi Jianlian, and Nash cannot be less than 35 minutes per game. The better the performance of the three in this series, the higher the evaluation reward. The Lakers are in this The stronger the series, the higher the evaluation reward. Mission rewards are determined by the mission evaluation, and there is no penalty. Ding, do you want to accept the mission?" Damn it!
Another hidden mission! And it looks like a large-scale mission! The hidden tasks triggered by Du Kang before were all small tasks that could be decided in one game.
Now this, is a series! Read the requirements for this task. Du Kang was excited and trembling at the same time.
This is crazy! Arab League, Nash and Maizi all have to play 35 minutes. On Du Kang's team, only Kobe and Howard can play more than 35 minutes.
Du Kang strictly controls the players' playing time in order to protect the team's veterans and crispy players.
But this time... the system's mission is clearly to hope that this series will be based on wheat, Yi Jianlian and Nash to defeat the Spurs!
Although, in this series, in Du Kang's mind, the three of them are also the main players in defeating the Spurs.
However, the main force and the core are different. You play so much time, and you have obvious flaws. Popovich will definitely play you and won't be able to replace you.
Can Nash, Maizi, and Arab League maintain their combat effectiveness for 36 minutes? According to the mission requirements, it is difficult for the three of them to maintain combat effectiveness for 30 minutes.
This is the most difficult thing about this task. but……
"Understandable."
"Even if Durant is exhausted, the Thunder will not replace him at the last moment."
"If the three of them are exhausted, Du Kang will replace the three. Or if the three of them are playing well, Du Kang will replace the three of them in order to protect them. How can the three of them defeat the Spurs? At best, they can only defeat the Spurs. "In fact, when giving Nash the golden potential card, Du Kang planned that Nash's playing time in this series would not be less than 36 minutes, and he would not be able to beat other teammates to wipe Nash's ass.
Unexpectedly, Ah Lian and Mai Zi also joined in now. But, luckily. The previous wave strengthened Nash's steals.
Strengthened Arab's physical strength. Maizi was already very strong, but he was actually the least of Du Kang's worries. Maizi, apart from his brittle body, has nothing to worry about when he is on the court.
As long as he is not injured, Maizi is the most reassuring player.
"Since you are so confident, I will fight with you!"
“If you win, you’ll be crazy, but if you lose, you’ll have to start all over again!” Back then, Jim could bet his entire fortune on me, a rookie.
What am I afraid of?
"The Lakers led by Jim Shu and Coach D are so reckless!" Well, this is also called the calmness and confidence of an aristocrat!
.........The second day after Du Kang and the Lakers came to the Holy City. May 6, 2013. The most watched series of the Lakers division semifinals, the series between the Lakers and the Spurs is finally about to begin.
before the game starts. The starting lineup announced by Coach D before the game caused an uproar throughout the NBA!
In the first round, Lakers point guard Nash, who had never started against the Clippers, was actually going to start in this game!
"Coach D, Bobo said you were just a smoke bomb."
"I can't refuse Steve to start when the Spurs are playing. No conscientious fan can make Steve a substitute when playing the Spurs."
"Coach D, are you still an ordinary fan now?"
"I am the head coach of the Lakers, and I am also an ordinary NBA fan. Now I sympathize with Westbrook. I used to sympathize with Nash." At the pre-game press conference, Du Kang said this, even the Spurs reporters at the scene were speechless. There is something to be said.
The feud between the Spurs and Nash is too deep. There are indeed too many methods inside. They were rooting for the Spurs to win.
Likewise, they can't mock Nash for revenge. It should be said that with such a grudge, it is strange that Nash does not want revenge when he meets the Spurs.
The key is……
"Coach D, do you think Steve is still qualified to be the Spurs' enemy now?" After the Holy City reporter asked this question, Du Kang smiled and narrowed his eyes.
"We can wait and see." Anyone who knows Coach D knows what Coach D means when he makes this expression.
That is. This reporter from the Holy City succeeded in provoking the general. Nash, 100% started in the Western Conference semifinals.
Therefore, at the end of the press conference, the reporters in the Holy City were extremely happy. Just Nash's defense. Regular horse spurs were not caught.
Nash's defense at his peak can be caught and beaten by the Spurs. What's more, Nash is now 39 years old.
"We will definitely win the next game!" After the pre-match press conference. Reporters in the Holy City were happy.
Fans of the Holy City online are also happy. But Lakers supporters felt a little uncomfortable at this time. Nash, they must also support it.
But if they have a choice, they certainly don't want Nash to start in the playoffs. Nash's defense is too worrying.
Iverson is still more reassuring. Although defensively poor, Iverson looks stronger.
…………
"Bobo, it's true. Coach D really wants Nash to start in this game!"
"Did Robert invite you over?"
"The invitation is here, Bobo, you are so bad, haha."
"..." Mike, do you think your Uncle Bo has really become kinder? Budenholzer was stunned for a moment when Bobo stared at him like this.
Oh, I almost forgot, Bobo temporarily changed his ways. You can’t use the same words you used to praise Bobo! In the past, Bobo would be happy if he praised Bobo for being bad, but now Bobo is unhappy.
"Ahem, I mean, Pop, you are so good. You can even handle people like Robert. You are better than Coach D!" Popovich laughed after hearing this.
Mercenaries like Horry are different from disciple soldiers like Bowen. His loyalty to the Lakers can be resolved with a knife.
"Bobo, should we ask Tony to practice some singles later?"
"What do you think?" Of course! .........9:30 pm, At&t Center Arena.
"The Lakers will let Nash start in this game. Although I sympathize with Nash, Coach D uses the fans' thinking to decide the starter in the playoffs. This will definitely be a huge mistake. Coach D will have to pay the price for his mistake. Yeah!" O'Neal couldn't help but get excited when he saw Du Kang and the visiting Lakers players walking out amidst the boos of the Spurs fans.
It’s still Coach D’s character who likes to play with fire and make trouble! But this time, he will never be able to escape unscathed!
Popovich will never let him go!
"Shaq, although Coach D's behavior may be wrong, I don't hate Coach D's behavior. If it were me, if someone had bullied me, my teammates, or my team, even if they didn't Victory, I want to go back to it! This is why I, Michael, and Larry like Coach D so much. Coach D is so much like our character back then! Oh, I forgot, Shaq, you were the softie of our era. Damn it, Olajuwon fucked him, Malone fucked him, he said he was swept, he was swept, he didn’t even dare to fart. Coach D let people like you ridicule, I think it is the tragedy of the NBA in this era." groove!
O'Neal was stunned! Why was Barkley so effective tonight? He actually revealed that he was a D guard!
"Charles, you guys don't want to come back in Coach D's team and win the championship with Coach D's lap, right? Olajuwon and Pippen couldn't lead you back then, and I can't see Coach D being there either." O'Neal was ashamed of Barkley's humiliation, so of course he wanted to go back.
What's the most effective way to dry buckley? Of course, he was crazily mentioning the championship in front of him!
"Fuck, Shaq, I was the one who raised Dream and that bastard Pippen back then. I was so blind that I hugged the thighs of these two guys!" Speaking of what happened with the Rockets, Barkley instantly The mentality collapsed.
The game hasn't started yet. The two commentators of tNt were attacking each other and their mentality collapsed. The Lakers fans in front of the TV were worried about the Lakers and also laughed.
These two are so damn good at playing and creating show effects. On the court, players from the Lakers and Spurs were doing shooting training.
On the sidelines, Du Kang and Popovich smiled, hugged and shook hands. The front row behind the Lakers bench.
At this time, Bowen was talking to Horry.
"Robert, your task is very simple. When Nash finishes the game and sits on the bench, you tell him that you are still as soft as before." After hearing this, Horry looked hesitant, but Still nodded.
There's no way, the Spurs gave him too much. Robert Horry looked at Lakers No. 10 Nash who was licking his wristband on the court, and looked at Bowen with a smile.
"Bobo, he's still so bad."
"Robert, let me remind you, never say that in front of Bobo in the future."
"Um?"
"Bobo, now I want to be a good person."
"..." Horry was dumbfounded. You fucking want to be a good person, why would you invite me to do such a thing?
! Co-author, you guys all think that I am a bad person! Robert Horry went numb instantly.
The two teams finished their warm-up and the game officially began. The starting lineup for the Lakers in this game is Howard, Yi Jianlian, McGrady, Kobe and Nash.
The Spurs' starting lineup is Splitter, Duncan, Leonard, Danny Green and Parker. The Spurs' starting lineup remains unchanged from the first round.
The Lakers' starting lineup has changed by three compared to the first round.
"Coach D, stop pretending. You must be panicking now, right? No coach would be safe if Nash was asked to start in such an important game. In front of me, there is no need for you to pretend to be calm or noble, stinky Boy." This old guy!
"Actually, Bobo, you are also panicking now, right? As a smart person like me, if Nash is going to start this game, there will definitely be some back-up plan. Of course I have a back-up plan, but I won't tell you the damn thing. Old guy, bite me!" After scolding, Du Kang and Popovich looked at each other with a smile, and then they hugged again.
Hamm and Budenholzer next to him were stunned.
"Hahahaha, you little rascal, I know I can't lie to you."
"Hahahaha, you are so old, you already know you are lying to me." Damn it! Dukan and Popovich hugged, laughed and cursed, which really stunned Ham and Budenholzer.
Is this the demeanor of a famous marshal? Swearing is done with a smile. After scolding, you can still hug and talk and laugh.
This is so shameless! No, this is too respectable and shameful! On the court, the game begins. Howard, who was playing in the Western Conference semifinals for the first time, was very excited.
It should be said that he has been very excited since Corvo was injured and Westbrook was injured. All I can think about is that I am indeed the biological son of God and the protagonist of the world!
The jump ball was successful, and after hitting the ball into Nash's hands, Howard jumped towards the frontcourt. Nash was also very excited when he got the ball.
He glanced at Du Kang, who was chatting and laughing with Popovich.
"Coach, I won't let you down!" This tone has been held in for so many years. It's time for a break!
After Nash licked his two palms respectively, he quickly moved forward with the ball. Parker glanced at the basketball with disgust and quickly prepared to stick it on.
To increase Nash's intensity, this is the Spurs' pre-game arrangement.
"So fast!"
"No, it's easy to block!" Parker was blocked by Yi Jianlian before he could stick to Nash, and then Nash quickly passed by him.
The cover Yi Jianlian gave Nash was so tacit! There was such a tacit understanding that Stoudemire was stunned in front of the TV.
"Did Steve and I have such a tacit understanding back then?" With the help of Yi Jianlian's cover, Nash broke through Parker so quickly, which surprised the Spurs.
Split, who was guarding Howard, was closest to Nash. He immediately let go of Howard and pounced on him. Howard shoots a three-pointer, and the Spurs can accept it.
But Nash, it's impossible to let him shoot a three-pointer! Faced with Split who rushed over madly. Nash quickly accelerated and prepared to break through to the basket.
Split made another crazy change of direction. However, Nash suddenly changed from a breakthrough to a step back, making Split look stupid.
be cheated!
"This is the ball that Billups knocked down Iverson!" Billups was stunned for a moment when he heard Barkley's crazy voice.
Almost exactly the same! After Nash knocked down Split, he hit Parker who was flying from behind. Hit a three-pointer from beyond the top of the arc.
3 to 0! silence! Looking at Split who fell to the ground, Parker was caught by Duncan below.
The entire At&t Center was silent. For a moment, it seemed that only Buckley's voice echoed through the sky.
"Beautiful shooting, perfect use of point guard skills, this ball is the essence of all Nash's strengths! He is one of the most incredible players in NBA history! He is a treasure in the basketball world! No other player in NBA history Weaker than him, but he used such a weak body to become one of the strongest in NbA!"
"Coach D, I hope we can get to know this treasure of the basketball world again! Coach D hopes that the entire NBA can once again get to know this son of the wind who has always been underestimated!"
"Coach D is willing to risk everything he has on Nash, who was saved and reshaped by him!" Nash started this outrageous offense.
Barkley shouted wildly at this time. The audience in front of the TV was stunned. At&t scene.
Spurs fans are also shocked. Son of the wind! Is the son of the wind, who killed San Antonio with fear back then, back again?
Looking back from the court, Du Kang looked at the stunned Popovich and smiled.
"Bobo, did you see it? This is my trump card!"
"You brat, do you think you can deceive me?" After Popovich came to his senses, he threw away the shock in his eyes. Nash's offense was really powerful and he had to accept it.
But, is Nash your trump card? Coach D, are you serious or are you kidding? You tricked me into thinking I was Winnie!
Am I Pooh Baby? Apart from moving Nash, your words cannot deceive me! At this moment, At&t Arena exclaimed again.
What? Popovich looked at the court in shock. Just in time, Popovich saw Nash intercept Leonard's pass to Parker.
The Spurs, who originally wanted to pass the baseline ball quickly, were intercepted by Nash! When the Spurs players reacted and prepared to defend.
Nash intercepted the pass, avoided Parker's counterattack, and once again stepped back to the three-point line!
"Oh my God, Nash is going to throw a three-pointer again!" Is this Nash? ! Is this the same Nash who always suppressed his desire to attack, never indulged in three-pointers no matter how accurate he was, and always passed the ball to his teammates?
Looking at Nash on the court, he decisively threw the ball outside the three-point line. Popovich was stunned.
"Reintroducing Steve Nash, my trump card." Du Kang's voice came to Popovich's ears again.
at the same time. A swipe! Three point hit! 6 to 0! At&t, silence again!
"Bobo, it's been six years, it's time to pay back."......
