"Ding, your player Covington successfully learned the skill Death Coil (gold) from Antetokounmpo, and the activated training plan has been issued. Please check it."
"Ding, your player McAway has successfully learned the skill Death Coil (gold) from Antetokounmpo, and the activated training plan has been distributed. Please check it."
"Ding, do you want to give Yao Ming the key shooter skill (purple)?"
Du Kang frowned.
Still chose No.
"Du, are you okay?"
Seeing Du Kang suddenly frowning, Ham next to him was a little worried.
Isn't it because the team lost a big score to the Rockets at home last night?
On February 19, the Lakers sat at home to face their first opponent after the All-Star Weekend, the Western Conference playoff rival Rockets.
Before the start of this game, the Rockets' record was 36 wins and 17 losses, and the Lakers' record was 32 wins and 21 losses.
Before the game, the Rockets ranked fifth in the Western Conference and the Lakers ranked eighth in the Western Conference.
The Lakers rested four All-Star players, Kobe, Olajuwon, Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming, and suffered a 108-134 home defeat.
After the game, the Lakers' record became 32 wins and 22 losses. They were surpassed by the Grizzlies, who defeated the Clippers at home on the same day, and fell from eighth in the Western Conference to ninth in the Western Conference.
This is the first time the Lakers have fallen out of the playoff zone.
For a time, the pressure on the entire Los Angeles became extremely huge.
As the acting head coach of the Lakers, Clifford is under particularly great pressure.
As for Du Kang, the real head coach of the team, he is naturally under a lot of pressure.
If it weren't for the crazy performances of team stars such as Kobe, Maizi and Olajuwon in the All-Star Game, the Lakers would not be in such a predicament.
As the head coach of the All-Star Game at the time, Coach D did not stop this.
From an ideal perspective, Coach D is great.
From the perspective of interests, especially from the perspective of the interests of the Lakers head coach, Coach D failed miserably.
Now the Lakers have fallen out of the playoff area.
Kobe and Olajuwon won't be back for at least ten days.
Maizi won't be back until the next game.
The competition for the playoffs in the Western Conference is so fierce now. When Kobe and the others come back, what if the Lakers' record is...
It's unimaginable.
But the only good news is that Yao Ming will be back when he plays the Celtics at home in the next game.
"Du, are you really not ready to intervene in the team now?"
Ham knew that Clifford was under tremendous pressure, but thinking of the Lakers' current crisis, Ham still reminded him.
"The loss to the Rockets is not Steve's responsibility. He did nothing wrong. Moreover, we cannot put our destiny in the hands of others."
Du Kang shook his head.
Of course Du Kang understood what Ham meant. After the Lakers fell out of the playoffs, the league supervisor who supervised Du Kang returned to New York for business again.
Well, Du Kang can sit behind the coaching bench and direct the game again.
The New York Knicks' methods can be described as blatant.
The New York Knicks want to control the Lakers' destiny.
Phil Jackson wants to control Coach D's destiny!
The best Lakers are the Lakers who are ranked eighth in the Western Conference. They help the New York Knicks completely muddy the water in the Western Conference and make the already cruel Western Conference even more cruel.
Therefore, the Knicks will never allow the Lakers to rank in the top five, and they will never allow the Lakers to fall out of the top eight.
Now the situation is stronger than the people, and everyone within the Lakers actually hopes that Du Kang will immediately step in to command the team.
Except for Jim Shu, it depends entirely on Du Kang's wishes and does not put pressure on Du Kang.
Everyone else is putting pressure on Du Kang.
Aunt Jenny is even more crazy, constantly exaggerating the current crisis of the Lakers in the tabloids.
"Darwin, give these two training plans to McAway and Covington."
Looking at the training plan in his hand, Ham was stunned.
Now that the league overseer has returned to New York, Du can actually go to the team's training ground.
But Du still didn't go back...
Du's choice is already very obvious.
Now, he still has no intention of getting involved in the team.
Thinking of this, Ham was really moved.
Now that Du is involved in the team, Clifford will be hurt the most.
In fact, counting starts from Du’s suspension.
Du seems to have always been like this.
Regardless of whether Nash led the team in the beginning, they couldn't win a game.
Or he led the team and kept losing.
Now Clifford leads the team.
Dudu did not step into the team when they were losing.
Except for the away game against the Rockets when Nash declined his request, Du has always respected them.
Du also knew very well how big a blow his intervention would have on their establishment of prestige in the team.
"Du, you are the best boss!"
After Ham finished speaking seriously, he left Du Kang's office with the training plan in hand.
Looking at Ham's back, Du Kang smiled.
The Lakers' record is indeed dangerous now.
But Du Kang always felt that with Clifford's ability, he really wouldn't lead the Lakers out of the playoffs.
Maybe his judgment was wrong.
But he is willing to take all responsibility for his wrong judgment.
When Clifford accepted his request to coach the Lakers, Du Kang promised to support him forever.
It makes no sense to rush into the team just after falling out of the playoff zone.
He still has dozens of games left on his suspension.
Clifford's growth is very important to the Lakers' performance in the playoffs.
Now everyone is saying that the New York Knicks are using the Lakers as a knife, but what if, in the Western Conference playoffs, the Knicks change their mind? Or maybe it’s simply not the idea, so what should I do?
Even if Du Kang can give advice in the playoffs, this advice needs to be implemented by Clifford.
No matter how detailed Zhuge Liang's plan was, there was nothing he could do when he met Ma Di.
Dukan hopes Clifford can adapt to such pressure.
This kind of pressure is actually nothing compared to the pressure of the playoffs.
"Now I should concentrate on developing the young players of the team."
Du Kang smiled.
Now he still has some chips in hand, and there are still a lot of them.
The purple skill Key Marksman rewarded by Reggie Miller's personal mission.
An intensive training camp for the whole team.
2 purple attribute potential cards.
There are also 2 purple glory points, which are prepared for Yao Ming. Use three to buy a golden dream card for Yao Ming to change Yao Ming's character and develop an advanced character for Yao Ming.
It doesn’t matter when the team’s intensive training camp is held, there’s nothing to worry about.
The remaining two resources are a bit confusing.
For a purple-level key shooter, the Lakers don't have a suitable candidate.
There is no need for veterans. Among the young players, McAway and Antetokounmpo have shooting problems, and Covington and Canaan are role players.
In the end, Du Kang could only choose among Oden, Ebanks, Yao Ming and Roy.
Roy's key shooter is golden, which is actually very useful. Let's rule it out first.
Yao Ming, with the technical contribution of He Maizi, his key shooter in the game is also golden, and he is very useful. But his love for Yao Ming makes Du Kang want to strengthen Yao Ming all the time. He was really close before I gave this skill to Yao Ming.
If this skill is not given to these four people, but to other young people, then he needs to improve the shooting IQ or offensive stability of these young people to 90.
Therefore, you still need to use a purple attribute potential card, or use a lot of MP to forcibly increase your shooting IQ or offensive stability to 90.
The prerequisite for a purple-level key shooter is a shooting IQ or offensive stability of 90.
so……
Oden or Ebanks?
Both have shooting IQs of 90
Du Kang looked at the two of them.
Finally looked at Ebanks.
Ability 90, potential 90.
Cutting layup 90, in-situ dunk 80, cutting dunk 90, close shot 80, mid-range shot 85, three-point shot 85, free throw 80, fadeaway jumper 85, post control 80, shooting IQ 90, passing accuracy 80 , 85 ball control, 85 receiving ability, 80 passing IQ, 80 passing vision, 80 offensive stability, 90 perimeter defense, 85 defensive stability, 80 passing insight, 95 physical strength, and 90 overall durability.

Interior defense: B, positional average: C
Rebounds: B, Positional Average: C-
Basketball IQ A, position average: B+
Athleticism: A-, Positional Average: B
Ebanks' attributes are definitely Ariza's attributes.
The problem with Ebanks, though, is his lack of skills.
Ebanks' skills simply don't match his attributes.
When Ah Lian came to the Lakers, he only had six skills, and they were all bronze.
Ebanks' Bronze Dream Card allowed him to play some low-level games, and he was unable to complete his career in the NBA.
By the end of the day, his Zhang Jinsong dream card had only trained him 8 bronze skills.
Well, in the past two seasons with the Lakers, Ebanks' skills have improved to 10.
Three of them are already at Silver level, which is pretty good.
silver aerial work
Silver Death Coil
Silver's master of ball-handling steals
Bronze ball-fighting madman, bronze jumping master, bronze marking master, bronze risk-chasing master, bronze outside interference, bronze dribbling expert, bronze three-point agent.
With these skills of Ebanks, it is simply impossible to use his strong attributes.
Therefore, Ebanks lacks stability and is invincible. When encountering powerful opponents, he can only be a 3D player with a serious lack of strong offensive ability.
In fact, Covington, the little Ebanks, also has the same problem. Covington's key attributes are very good, but he also lacks the skills to match the 3D key attributes. After a few seasons of training in the NBA, he can develop his skills and he can take off.
Now that Covington has learned the golden death coil from Antetokounmpo, it has taken off early and can be used in the regular season and playoffs. The skills of 3 are not yet available, but the skills of D are already available.
Talking about Ebanks, this kind of Ebanks is actually not very suitable for the purple key shooter.
He is a bucket player and his shooting ability is not that good.
What suits him is a purple glory point, buying a silver player dream card, allowing him to experience a career in the NBA, and then he can take off directly like the Arab League.
However, the purple glory points are too precious.
"Well, don't you want to save up? One for each of Dayao and Ebanks?"
Can Baiyin's dream card help Dayao develop an advanced character?
This is very suspenseful.
With Yao's character, if he can't destroy and rebuild, it will be very difficult for him to awaken the advanced pioneers.
High-intensity despair matches are at least gold level.
The desperate bronze-level game was already very difficult to beat South Korea's darkest moment, and it only awakened the Blazers for Antetokounmpo.
At Yao's age, simply improving the Blazers by one level cannot save him.
It is best to be a LV4 pioneer and a LV4 ultimate pioneer.
To achieve such a goal, 35 seconds and 13 minutes are not enough, unless you can follow Yao Ming.
It is very difficult for Maizi to follow Yao Ming.
If Yao Ming follows Yao Ming, the difficulty will actually not be that high.
Well, if we don't want Dayao to fall off a cliff after playing this season, the task of saving Dayao is still very heavy.
Forget it, just use the purple key shooter for now.
Oden can usually learn skills from Roy.
Ebanks really has no place to learn skills.
Ebanks is too arrogant. Except for him as the head coach, although he seems to be a nice and average gentleman with a smile, in fact no one can look down on him.
Including Corvo, Maizi.
There is no way, Ebanks now has a very serious mental disorder and looks down on his black buddies.
If Ebanks had been given handcuffs last season, he could have sent Howard, a human being, to Alcatraz.
"Ding, do you want to use the key shooter (purple) skill on your player Ebanks?"
"yes."
"Ding, it has been detected that your player Ebanks' shooting IQ is 90, the skill was successfully used, and the skill activation training has been issued, please check it."
…
…
The Lakers are in very bad shape now.
When Teacher Zhang Liji came to the Lakers training facility, he originally thought that the Lakers players would be in chaos.
After all, the two leaders of the team, Maizi and Kobe, are not on the team now.
Coach D is not on the team either.
Dayao resumed training, but Dayao's character couldn't handle such a thing.
It would be strange if a team like this, leaderless and facing crisis, were in good shape.
But when he came to the training hall, teacher Zhang Lili was surprised to find.
The Lakers players are in very good shape now.
Artest, Reggie Miller, Jackson and O'Neal, the four Pacers veterans, are now talking and laughing, talking about something together.
The four rookies Antetokounmpo, McAway, Covington and Kanan were also laughing under Antetokounmpo's sunny smile and his antics.
Well, Antetokounmpo likes to be weird in practice.
Oden and Roy, these two good friends train together.
Dayao and Ebanks are now talking and laughing about domestic affairs. Well, they are still using Chinese. Although this is not the first time Teacher Zhang has seen this style of painting, he still finds it very strange. .
Sure enough, the media in the United States is indeed very deceptive.
The Lakers lost to the Rockets at home last night. When he saw the news this morning, he thought the Lakers had disbanded.
The media in New York, Boston and Houston must be saying that the Lakers are going to collapse.
The media in Los Angeles were concerned but confused, and with Aunt Jenny behind it, it must have been a pill for the team.
The media in these four cities is almost equal to the American media.
When these four media outlets think that the Lakers are in a pill, their momentum is really not something that ordinary people can withstand.
Therefore, on today's open training day, media from all over the United States rushed to the Lakers training facility.
I want to see if Coach D went to the team training hall to intervene in the team after the league supervisor left.
Many reporters have their news headlines written in advance.
"Coach D was furious and denounced the Los Angeles Lakers so shamelessly!"
However, each of these reporters stormed into the Lakers training facility aggressively, without even seeing the shadow of Coach D!
What?
The Lakers are about to be disbanded by us, but Coach D still doesn’t come out to save the Los Angeles Lakers?
At this moment, Lakers assistant coach Ham walked in.
Reporters at the scene were happy to see Hamm.
Hamm was the last acting head coach of the Lakers, and now he has replaced Clifford as the personal assistant coach next to Coach D.
He must know what is going on with Coach D now.
"Darwin, when will Coach D come to the team training facility today?"
"Coach D is suspended by the league. During the suspension, he cannot come to the arena at any time."
After Ham finished saying what he thought was humorous, he smiled and prepared to walk into the stadium.
However, the sharp-eyed reporter saw the document in Ham's hand and asked curiously.
"Darwin, are these the training plans that the legendary Coach D made for the players?"
"Yes."
"There are recent rumors that Coach D has been training the Lakers' rookie players, right?"
"Yeah, that's the training plan for McAway and Covington."
"Coach D thinks these young players on the Lakers will be helpful to the Lakers in the playoffs?"
"This is something that Coach D needs to consider. My job is to convey Coach D's intentions. Okay, I need to work, thank you everyone."
After Ham finished speaking, he came to the court with a training plan and assigned training tasks to McAway and Covington.
Just as Ham was setting up the training tasks, the reporters nearby started making a crazy noise.
"Coach D didn't show up!"
"And Coach D is still training rookies. Does Coach D think these Lakers rookies are all magicians?"
"Actually, if Coach D doesn't train rookies now, can he still train the Pacers' four veterans? The Lakers can only train those four rookies now, right?"
"This is also the difficulty for the Lakers this season. There are too many veterans and young people and a lack of backbone players."
"Now that the veterans are spending too much money during the All-Star Weekend, and the young people can't be counted on for the time being, the Lakers won't really miss the playoffs this season, right?"
"I don't think missing the playoffs is a big deal, but the playoffs are tough, that's for sure."
Because they lost to the Rockets in the first game after the All-Star Game and fell out of the playoffs.
There’s a lot going on in Los Angeles right now.
Compared with the turmoil in Los Angeles, the Knicks are comfortable here.
Knicks players took a walk during All-Star Weekend.
Except for Howard, everyone else in F4 seemed to be stimulated.
Especially James and Anthony, that was quite an effort.
This is not easy.
Under such circumstances, the Knicks are simply invincible in the East.
Compared with the chaotic West and the brutal West.
Mayfair Jackson feels like she is living a life of retirement ahead of schedule.
"Coach D didn't show up at the training ground?"
"No, Mayfair, Coach D seems to have no intention of getting involved in coaching the Lakers during the regular season."
Mayfair Jackson looked surprised.
His original idea was that as long as Coach D showed up this time, he would play with Coach D like a control switch.
Let Coach D come in and out of the Lakers' training ground and behind the coaching bench as the Lakers win or lose.
How interesting that is!
Control Coach D’s emotions!
Take control of everything Coach D!
Play around and tease Coach D!
He is ready.
But Coach D doesn’t follow the routine at all!
Isn’t it enough that the public opinion storm in the United States was not big enough after yesterday’s loss?
"What is Coach D doing now?"
"He has been developing training plans for the young players of the Lakers and seems to be developing the rookie players of the Lakers."
"Yeah?"
Phil Jackson nodded.
Retire and have grandchildren?
"I want to see if you can hold it in all this time!"
Maybe because he is too idle, Mayfair Jackson now looks at the Lakers and Du Kang every day.
There's nothing we can do about it. Coach D's reputation has become even greater after the All-Star Game.
If you are an NBA head coach, if you don't pay attention to what Coach D is doing, you are unqualified.
The current head coach of the Spurs, Popovich, the head coach of the Warriors, Cole, and the head coach of the Thunder, Scott Brooks, actually put most of their energy on Coach D.
Among them, Popovich is the most concerned.
"Pop, in the first game after the All-Star break, both the Warriors and Thunder lost."
It's very funny. After the Thunder rested Carter, Durant led the team with a single core and lost to the sluggish Heat at home.
And lost by 20 points.
Can it be made more obvious?
As for the Warriors, they also lost to Yubel and were defeated by the Kings away from home.
This is already very obvious.
Just to close the distance with the Spurs and then control the ranking.
That's what the Spurs did last season.
At that time, whether we are playing the Lakers or not, we will have an argument.
"Bobo, do we want to lose?"
"No, this time, we want to be No. 1 in the Western Conference!"
What? !
Budenholzer was dumbfounded.
"Could it be?"
"Don't give Coach D any chance. Coach D is currently training rookies. That's what the news says."
After Popovich narrowed his eyes and smiled, Budenholzer was still confused.
"Rookie players don't get much use in the NBA playoffs..."
"So, I said don't give Coach D any chance and send out the Lakers and Coach D in the first round, otherwise the Lakers will be harder to beat as they get to the back!"
Popovich frowned again and continued.
"I have a hunch that Coach D said he will come back this season. He is definitely not just cheering for the Lakers. He is really preparing to come back. Moreover, the key lies in that group of rookies!"
Budenholzer doesn't know how to evaluate Popovich's judgment.
He is not qualified to evaluate Popovich.
Popovich made a choice, and that was the choice of the entire Spurs team.
Therefore, after the All-Star break, the Spurs won 20 consecutive games until April 1st!
Counting the two consecutive wins before the All-Star Game, the Spurs won 22 consecutive games in the sprint stage of the regular season!
This shocked the entire NBA.
However, despite being shocked, ESPN did not rank the Spurs at the top of the rankings.
Because during this 22-game winning streak, strong teams are limited.
The Knicks, Thunder, and Warriors have not met any of these three super teams.
The strongest team is the Trail Blazers.
But even so, the Spurs still relied on this wave of winning streak, and their record directly rushed to first place in the Western Conference.
A record of 59 wins and 15 losses is quite impressive.
On April 2, the Spurs had a strong dialogue with the second-place Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference. The Spurs defeated the Warriors 31-18 in the first quarter.
Finally, the Spurs defeated the Warriors at home, winning their 23rd consecutive game and becoming the first team in the Western Conference to reach 60 wins.
The Spurs didn't lose until they played back-to-back away games against the Thunder on April 3.
After the Spurs lost to the Thunder in an away game, the Thunder also became the second team in the Western Conference to reach 60 wins after the Spurs.
Then, on the same day, the Warriors' record reached 60 wins.
This is quite exciting.
The three teams in the Western Conference have exactly the same record after playing 76 games!
At this time, the Spurs, Warriors, and Thunder all have records of 60 wins and 16 losses.
"In the history of the NBA, there has never been such a situation!"
"The three teams are fighting so hard not because the three teams are so close in strength, but because of a team ranked seventh in the Western Conference!"
The record of the top three in the Western Conference this year is incredible.
The record of the bottom three in the Western Conference this year is also incredible.
As of April 3, the Grizzlies, Lakers and Trail Blazers all have 47 wins and 29 losses.
In addition, the ninth-place Mavericks currently have a record of 45 wins and 30 losses.
An exciting one!
In the Western Conference this season, it is very likely that a 50-win team will fail to make the playoffs.
"The Spurs really want to compete for first place now!"
"The Warriors and Thunder are hesitant!"
These NBA media experts can easily come up with this kind of Jaylen.
After the Spurs beat the Warriors and then played the Thunder back-to-back, they actually started with all the main players. This is of course a posture to win.
However, the Thunder were also hesitant to lose the No. 1 spot in the Western Conference, so in the end they went all out to defeat the Spurs.
The reason for the Thunder's hesitation is because their team's leading player, Durant, has performed so well this season. He has shown excellent form in the absence of Westbrook for a large amount of time, and is still listed on the official MVP rankings. on the top of the list.
The Warriors actually closed in later.
The Spurs are racing because their opponents are not weak.
The Thunder, on the other hand, really followed the Spurs regardless of the strength of their opponents.
It's hard to say whether it's worth it for the team's MVP.
However, after losing to the Thunder, Popovich was not so disappointed.
Of course it would be better if we can win these two games between the Warriors and Thunder.
But as long as we win one game, we are basically stable.
The Spurs are now first in the Western Conference.
The remaining opponents are not strong, and the last game is still the Lakers.
"Our own ranking and the Lakers' ranking are now in my hands!"
Budenholzer admires him for being so high-spirited even after losing the game.
The way Bobo clenches his right hand into a fist is so handsome! ! !
April 16th is the last day of the NBA regular season.
This day is also the final battle between the Lakers and Spurs.
Before the start of this game, the Spurs had a record of 65 wins and 16 losses, ranking first in the Western Conference.
The Thunder, second in the Western Conference, have 64 wins and 16 losses, and the Warriors, third in the Western Conference, have 62 wins and 19 losses.
For the Spurs, it doesn't matter whether they win or lose the last game against the Lakers. The Spurs are definitely No. 1 in the Western Conference.
It's just that for the Lakers, this game is very important.
Because before this game, the Grizzlies' record was 51 wins and 30 losses, the Lakers' record was 51 wins and 30 losses, and the Mavericks' record was also 51 wins and 30 losses.
The three teams are seventh, eighth and ninth in the Western Conference.
What's even more exciting is that the Mavericks and Grizzlies were direct opponents in the last game.
The Lakers are playing the Spurs.
These two games really attracted the attention of the entire NBA.
In the game between the Grizzlies and the Mavericks, the winning team will of course directly enter the playoffs.
But if the losing team is the Grizzlies, then the Grizzlies still have a chance to enter the playoffs. The Grizzlies and the Lakers faced off directly, leading 2-1.
Also, the direct head-to-head record between the Mavericks and the Lakers has the Lakers leading, so if the Mavericks lose, they will definitely miss the playoffs.
As for the Lakers, as long as they win and defeat the Spurs, they will definitely enter the playoffs. If they lose, it will depend on the looks of the Grizzlies and Mavericks in this game.
Faced with such a situation, the Grizzlies are in a better situation, but they don't dare to lose. What if the Spurs lose to the Lakers on purpose? If the Grizzlies lose, wouldn't they cry?
Therefore, on the last day of the NBA regular season, the whole world was shocked.
Everyone is paying attention to these two games.
When Clifford, the acting head coach of the Lakers, walked into Staples, his legs were weak.
Seeing Clifford like this, Popovich laughed.
"Coach D has a good assistant. Congratulations, Steve, you will have a fateful battle!"
"..."
Seeing the smile on Popovich's face, Clifford was dumbfounded.
What's the meaning?
Will the Spurs let the Lakers pass in this game?
"It's impossible. It's definitely impossible for the Spurs to allow the Lakers to pass!"
If possible, all the strong teams in the Western Conference hope to send the Lakers out of the playoffs!
Therefore, the Lakers have only one possibility to win with all their strength!
Dallas.
"We must always pay attention to the current situation of the Lakers. As long as the Lakers are pulled away by the Spurs, we will deliberately lose and send the Lakers and Coach D out of the playoffs!!!"
In the Grizzlies locker room, all Grizzlies players reached a consensus.
Losing on purpose is certainly out of the question.
If the Lakers are defeated by the Spurs as soon as they come up, don't blame the Grizzlies!
Randolph touched his butt that was blackened by Antetokounmpo, with a very ugly expression on his face.
"Coach D, Los Angeles Lakers, haven't you thought that your destiny is in my hands!"
New York.
"Fei'er, should we ask the supervisor to leave?"
"No, now I want to see what Coach D and the Lakers will look like if they don't make it to the playoffs!"
"..."
Kidd was a little dumbfounded. Did he agree to use the Lakers as a knife?
Women are fickle, but men are also so fickle!
but……
Kidd learned immediately.
"This is what it feels like to have your destiny controlled by someone else!"
Mayfair Jackson is very satisfied with Kidd's understanding.
"Yes, this is what it feels like when someone else's destiny is in their hands. Coach D's destiny is in my hands. I'm playing with him!"
On April 16, the final game of the last day of the NBA begins.
Phil Jackson didn't care at all about the Knicks game at this time, and was paying attention to the Lakers and Spurs game throughout.
"Mayfair, Kobe and TMC fought very hard in this game. Kobe gave his best!!!"
Mayfair Jackson was stunned for a moment.
But Mayfair Jackson's face was not surprised at all.
"This is the effect Popovich wants!"
"Popovich has been waiting for this day to take the old boy. Popovich wants to consume Kobe and McGrady in the regular season!"
As for Kobe's killing ability, it's going to be a fight, and basically half of it will be wasted in the first round.
"I didn't expect that Popovich and I would collaborate one day because of Coach D."
A smile appeared on Mayfair Jackson's face.
after an hour.
The Knicks easily defeated the Heat at home.
Phil Jackson did not accept an interview and went directly back to the locker room to watch the game between the Lakers and the Spurs.
In the first overtime, with 7 seconds left, the score between the Lakers and Spurs was 111 to 113, with the Lakers trailing by 2 points.
In another arena, the Grizzlies and Mavericks also had 7 seconds left in the first overtime, and the Grizzlies were 1 point behind 104 to 105.
If the game ends with this score, then the Lakers will be eliminated and the Mavericks and Grizzlies will enter the playoffs.
But if you were a Grizzlies player, would you leave your fate to someone else?
Now the Grizzlies players are scared to death.
Before the game, they were still thinking about controlling points.
Who knew these two games could be so crazy!
The last two games with 7 seconds left touched the heartstrings of the entire basketball world.
Staples.
"Bryant, this is a killer..."
"give it to me!"
"..."
Look at the determined look on Kobe's face.
Maizi fell silent.
The draw was made by Maizi, who sent the Lakers into overtime.
Maizi has played 50 minutes in this game.
As for Maizi's current body, if he didn't have a golden waist, he would definitely be disabled by now.
Even with his golden waist and his knees repaired by Du Kang, Maizi's back is starting to feel tight now. This game is too fierce.
Even if Du Kang asked Clifford to believe in the young people on the team, if you were the head coach, would you believe in the young people on the team at this time or would you believe in Tracy McGrady, Kobe Bryant, Yao Ming, Roy, and Olajuwon?
This is actually not a multiple-choice question at all.
Therefore, after Du Kang was replaced by Clifford as coach, he basically did not interfere in Clifford's coaching.
Except that Du Kang really trusts Clifford's ability.
Du Kang actually knew it too.
There's no point in intervening.
There are too many decisions in a game, not even ten thousand but also a thousand.
Clifford, Nash, and Hamm are neither machines nor systems. The game situation is fleeting, and many decisions require their own judgment.
Marionettes play a far less important role in a basketball game than in a football game.
Therefore, Du Kang can either watch the players and decide on his own during the game.
Or it can only depend on Clifford's own decision.
Normally, he has no other choice.
But this time, I looked at Maizi and Kozi with arms akimbo on the court.
Now, he can intervene.
I saw Du Kang standing up suddenly.
Mayfair Jackson was stunned in front of the TV.
The supervisor next to Du Kang was also stunned.
"Coach D is not going to leave the field, right? He will definitely be sent off, right?"
After Du Kang stood up, the alliance supervisor also stood up.
At this time, the entire league and the entire arena were silently watching what Du Kang was going to do.
Du Kang did not walk to the court.
Du Kang even turned around and was ready to leave! ! !
Watching Du Kang leaving the court on the big screen.
Players on both sides of the court and Popovich on the sidelines were stunned.
"Is Coach D going to give up on this game? Or is Coach D afraid to watch it?"
Giving up on this game is definitely possible.
Kobe now has no way to shoot three-pointers at all. In overtime, he made all three-pointers. He was able to bite the Spurs in overtime because of Roy's knee-jerk surge.
Let's put it this way, the Lakers no longer have reliable three-pointers.
Even if it is tied again, even if it goes to overtime, it will not be a good thing for the Lakers.
Tracy McGrady, Kobe Bryant, Yao Ming, Olajuwon, and Roy will all be defeated by two overtime games!
By then, the Lakers will be finished.
Give up the game, if the Grizzlies can defeat the Mavericks in another game, then the Lakers can still enter the playoffs.
"Did Du's departure give me a hint to give up this game and leave my fate to the Grizzlies?"
Clifford guessed so.
"Coach D will definitely not give up the game!"
What! !
Budenholzer looked at Popovich in disbelief.
And almost at the same time.
A shout broke through the silent night sky from the auditorium and reached the stadium!
"Ebanks, I want to see you salute!"
What? Seeing Du Kang shouting this with his back to the court, the NBA supervisor next to him was dumbfounded.
In fact, everyone watching this game was dumbfounded.
What does Coach D mean by this sentence? !
Let Ebanks come in for the kill?
How can this be!
There is Tracy McGrady, Roy, Kobe, and Yao Ming on the court. Will Ebanks be the winner? !
"This is an attack from the east and an attack from the west!"
This is Popovich's!
"Coach D must have asked Ebanks to kill it!"
This is Mayfair Jackson!
Both Popovich and Phil Jackson claim to be the people who know Coach D best.
The two made completely different judgments at this time.
And almost at the same time.
The Lakers and Spurs players on the court moved.
Game start.
Olajuwon served the sideline ball.
Kobe and McGrady moved at the same time.
Roy catches the ball.
After receiving the ball, Roy knocked past Parker's defensive cut!
I knew Coach D was trying to make a fool of himself!
"Tim!!!"
Popovich shouted, and Duncan on the court had actually been helping to defend Roy's route.
Almost at the same time, Roy jumped up and passed the basketball behind him!
Roy jumped up not to attack, but to pass! ! !
Seeing this scene, Popovich was dumbfounded!
On the court, after Ebanks caught the ball with the help of Kobe and McGrady's double screen, he glanced at the three-point line at his feet and took a step back.
In such a desperate situation, you can be so calm!
Ebanks ignored Danny Green who was rushing towards him crazily and pulled up high!
Throw the basketball in his hand.
Watch this shot.
The whole Staples was as silent as suffocated!
Ebanks, who fell from the sky, did not look at the basketball he shot.
Then he turned around and looked at the back of the man standing at the top of the stand.
stand at attention!
salute!
The light is red!
There was a brushing sound!
Killer!
Du Kang smiled.
The supervisor next to me was confused.
Popovich, stupid.
Click!
This picture is absolutely stunning!
"OMG!"
"Incredible kill!"
"Incredible code!"
"The person who controls the fate of the Lakers is not Phil Jackson, not Popovich, not Kobe, not McGrady, it's still Coach D!!!"
"Coach D shot the shackles of fate!!!"
Staples, crazy!
"Bobo..."
"We are still number one, they are still number eight, and his fate is still in my hands!"
…
…
"Ding, your player Ebanks completed a buzzer-beater in an official NBA game, and his key shooter skills have been adjusted to gold level. Please check."
After my nephew came to Yugong's house, he and my son were able to fly together. The two babies were really amazing together. The younger brother liked to step on the cold floor without wearing shoes or socks. The older brother also followed suit. The older brother liked to fly on the cold floor. The younger brother on the ground also climbed. In the end, the little nephew was runny now. The fisherman is now uncomfortable. He has fried his head. He doesn't know how hard he is, O (╥﹏╥) O.
After writing this time, there is only this chapter today, but it is still a thousand, the regular season game is written. Tomorrow the little nephew will be picked up by my brother, and the day after tomorrow should be able to restore the update.
Finally, thank you for your support.
