In the first simulated game between the Lakers and Rockets, Du Kang's simulation collapsed.
Seth Curry was beaten by Deng in 15 minutes, which was depressing.
Du Kangming's adjustment and design during the game was that Seth Curry should not defend Deng.
But during the game, Seth Curry rushed to defend Deng at every turn. Du Kang was speechless when he saw this.
It can only be said that Deng Ge caused too much damage to Seth Curry last season, and Seth Curry's hatred for Deng Ge has been fully filled.
Of these two tasks, one is to deal with D'Antoni's secret weapon and win the game, and the other is to let Seth Curry score 30 points on James Harden.
These two tasks are really more difficult than the other!
Du Kang simulated the first one, and it seemed that the second task was more difficult. Seth Curry scored 30 points on James Harden, which was the most difficult. Defeating the Rockets didn't seem that difficult.
but!
Du Kang has accepted both tasks. It is impossible to only complete the first task. He must complete both tasks!
If the second task is to be completed and the second task fails, the first task will definitely fail.
If the second task is successful, the first task is also likely to be successful. After all, if Seth Curry can really score 30 points on James Harden's head in the game, this game will be won.
After thinking about this, Du Kang had a new understanding of this mission.
"So, these two tasks may seem difficult, but in fact, as long as you complete the second task and the first task, you are basically done."
To complete the second task, Seth Curry's hatred of James must not be so high.
At the very least, Seth Curry shouldn't be allowed to have the same offensive and defensive thinking as James Harden.
As long as Seth Curry doesn't get involved with James Harden, Seth Curry won't be named so easily.
The Lakers have played with Seth Curry as the core for so long in the past period. How could other teams not think of naming Seth Curry.
However, these teams cannot be named at all. The Lakers directly double-team them.
Unless every player on these teams can attack and shoot, it's impossible to name Seth Curry.
University of Houston training facility.
After the Lakers came to Houston, they became the focus of the entire Space City.
Many Rockets fans came to the Lakers training ground.
The reason why the Lakers are so popular is not because of other reasons, but entirely because the former star of the Rockets and the center of the Lakers, Yao Ming, is also here.
Not only Yao Ming, but also Kobe, Mai Zi, Ye Si and Roy are here. Well, there are also the four Pacers players from the Lakers last season, and even Oden, Olajuwon, and Jordan. All these players are here. coming.
After almost four months of filming, Koko’s film Yes! "It has reached the finalization stage and is about to shoot the climax of the last game. Yess came on the scene to save the Lakers. At the last moment, he hit 3+1 on James Harden's head, killing the Rockets with one shot and becoming famous.
Because it is shot with all real actors, the game between the Rockets and Lakers last season can be used.
But because the protagonist is Yes, more of the pre-game shots will be on Yes. Therefore, these old Lakers players need to come over and continue to cooperate in shooting some pre-game shots.
Fortunately, during the game between the Rockets and the Lakers last season, Yes was also the center of attention, a CBA player, so there were a lot of shots of Yes during the live broadcast of the game, and these shots can be used directly.
Otherwise, this game would have been too difficult to film.
After the end of last season, after more than half a year, the Lakers' championship-winning lineup last season once again gathered in Houston. I have to say that this is really exciting for fans.
The most popular star of the Lakers this season is Seth Curry.
However, when players such as Kezi, Maizi, Danzi, Dayao and Reggie Miller, Olajuwon, Oden, Roy and others appeared on the Lakers' training ground, Seth Curry felt that he had regained his old skills. What it’s like to be a minion on the Lakers this season.
"Seth!"
"leaf!"
In the Lakers' training facility, Kezi and the others are now the protagonists.
For Seth Curry, this is a very good thing.
Heading into Houston yesterday, media outlets around the world were asking about him and James Harden.
This season he has been the most amazing guard in the Western Conference.
And James Harden is definitely the second most amazing guard in the Western Conference.
James Harden has performed very well with the Rockets this season.
With Chris Bosh out for the season and his return date undetermined, coupled with the departures of Chandler Parsons and Jeremy Lin, the Rockets are definitely rebuilding this season.
Except for James Harden, the entire team is basically trash.
Just such a bunch of bad guys, James Harden led a group of players like this, and actually reached the top four in the Western Conference.
Therefore, in the latest official MVP rankings, in addition to Oden ranking first, Durant ranked second, Seth Curry and James Harden ranked third and fourth, and Wade ranked In fifth place.
This season, James Harden has indeed had fewer troubles and is not so crazy. However, his performance has not declined, but has improved. Coupled with the sympathy points generated by the poor team, James Harden is in There are many calls for regular season MVP.
Therefore, the duel between Seth Curry and James Harden is not only a duel between personal grievances, but also a duel between regular season MVP favorites.
Seth Curry had always been a role player, a newly minted star, and had never been in a grudge match of this magnitude.
This has made Seth Curry very nervous these two days.
The head coach just called him over and told him not to be nervous. He also knew that the coach was right.
But...he really couldn't help it!
Think of James Harden as a regular opponent.
He knew this was the best choice for him, but how could James Harden be an ordinary opponent!
In short, Seth Curry feels really depressed now.
In this Lakers team, Seth Curry has actually been holding back many of his inner thoughts.
There are a lot of things I can’t say to my teammates.
Wade, Ebanks, McAway, Antetokounmpo, they are all good teammates.
However, if he talks about his melancholy to McAway and Ebanks, will his teammates think he is hypocritical?
After all, he carried bags for these teammates last season, and now he has become the core of the team. Is he being pretentious here?
No one can stand it, right?
If he talks to Wade, will it make Wade think that he is deliberately looking for trouble and looking for the team's right to speak?
As for talking to the coach, Seth Curry didn't dare. The coach had high expectations for him. He was afraid that he would not be able to overcome such a small problem and would disappoint the coach.
Well now, Yes is back!
When Yeez was with the Lakers last season, he had a very good relationship with him.
Ye Si has always been a reliable big brother.
At that time, the two had similar positions in the team, so their relationship was very close.
In addition, Ye Si is from the Lakers, but not from the Lakers. At the same time, Ye Si has also become famous with one goal, so his current state of mind should be understandable.
After hearing Seth Curry's troubles, Yes smiled.
Of course he could understand this state of mind.
To put it simply, he couldn't grasp the status that sudden fame brought, and he was anxious to prove himself, especially in front of James Harden, who had humiliated him in the past.
"The coach asked me to stare at James Harden on offense and avoid James Harden on defense. I'm afraid I won't be able to help but get on top of him during the game."
Seth Curry, sitting side by side with Yeez on the courtside floor at the University of Houston, sighed.
If you really want to treat James Harden as a normal opponent, he can still work hard.
But the coach's task does not allow him to treat James Harden as an ordinary person.
To attack, strike hard and fight like an enemy.
This is a bit difficult.
"Seth, can you think differently?"
"Um?"
Seth Curry was stunned for a moment, what was his thinking?
"James Harden is the Rockets' least defensive player. Don't regard him as your grudge opponent. Treat him as an ordinary opponent. It's just that his defense is exactly your favorite defensive player."
After Yes finished speaking, Seth Curry was stunned for a moment.
Can it still be like this?
It seems that it can indeed be like this!
only……
Can I really bear it?
Seth Curry is a little unsure.
However, Seth Curry didn't get too entangled in this matter, because he was very excited to see Ye Si again, so he asked a lot about Ye Si on the set.
It can be seen that Seth Curry still envies Ye Si very much.
Although Ye Si was not able to be led by the coach to become an NBA superstar like him.
However, as long as "Yes!" "The movie was successfully released, and Ye's traffic in the NBA is definitely top-notch.
In fact, even if it hadn't been released, Ye Si was already among the top players in the NBA.
Have you ever seen a player with cards like his in a game?
Olajuwon, Reggie Miller, Michael Jordan, Roy, these NBA superstars from all eras, all played supporting roles for him in the end.
In this movie, Ye Si is the protagonist, and the supporting roles in the movie are simply amazing.
Coach D, Jordan, Kobe, Mai Zi, Olajuwon, David Robinson, James Harden, a bunch of players have made cameos or supporting roles in the movie.
Kobe Bryant's movie can definitely be called a carnival for NBA stars.
Fire before showing.
"The movie is expected to be released on December 17 this year, during the Christmas period. It may be a big hit or it may be a blockbuster."
"It's really Kobe Bryant's style!"
After hearing this, Seth Curry had a smile on his face.
It seems like The Hobbit will be released at this time, right?
This is a deadly opponent.
Do it or die, it's life or death, there is absolutely no middle option. I didn't expect Kobe to make movies in this way.
"There's only one month left until Christmas. Are you in a hurry?"
"Kobe Bryant said that he has to attend the Oscars in February next year, so everyone has to work overtime."
"Kobe is really going to the Oscars?"
"Of course, Kobe said he wanted this movie to win Best Picture."
the best film of Oscar……
this……
Seth Curry really didn’t know what to say for a moment.
All I can say is, come on.
Seth Curry and Jaycee, who haven't seen each other for a long time, have a lot to say.
After seeing old teammates for so long, these Lakers teammates actually have a lot to say to each other.
As the biggest favorite for regular season MVP this season, Greg Oden is now like a little follower next to Maizi.
As for the four Pacers led by Reggie Miller, they talked endlessly with Yao Ming and Kezi.
The most talked about topic among these people is the Lakers' record this season.
"I really didn't expect that the coach could lead the Lakers to achieve such a record this season."
"Originally, I thought it would be enough if the Lakers could enter the playoffs this season."
"No, Reggie, I was already planning to apologize to the coach, hahahaha, it seems I will skip this apology."
After Kozi finished speaking, everyone else next to him burst into laughter.
As the center of the conversation among these people, Du Kang was still simulating the game at this time.
After talking to Seth Curry, Seth Curry's resentment towards James Harden during the simulated game has indeed reduced a lot.
Seth Curry finally won't be in the situation of being beaten after playing for more than ten minutes.
And what's interesting is that as the simulated game progresses, Seth Curry's emotions in the simulated game seem to become more and more normal.
This surprised Du Kang.
Du Kang came back from the simulation, looked at Seth Curry who was chatting and laughing with Ye Si not far away, and was stunned.
But soon, a smile appeared on Du Kang's face.
"Yes Si..."
This is really a treasure-like player.
Unexpectedly, Ye Si could alleviate some of the psychological problems Seth Curry is facing now.
"It's almost time to complete the task, happy!"
Du Kang once again set his sights on the system.
Adjust the tactical system again.
The starters are still Seth Curry, McAway, Wade, Ebanks and Antetokounmpo.
Tactical system, UCLA air cut.
The number one attacker, Seth Curry.
More pick-and-rolls, more screens.
More outside shots.
More movement.
More cuts.
Defensive focus, James Harden.
…
Du Kang finished adjusting the simulation parameters, and then once again chose the simulated competition!
When the game started, Du Kang felt dizzy and the surrounding scene changed instantly.
Du Kang is no longer at the University of Houston's training facility.
Du Kang once again came to the Toyota Center and became the latest spectator of this game.
In this game, the Lakers got off to a very comfortable start.
In the first quarter of the game, the Lakers and Rockets were inseparable. James Harden and Seth Curry were both the focus of each other's defense, and neither of them had a good feel from the start.
With 3 minutes and 38 seconds left in the game, the Lakers only led 22-18 by 4 points. I have to say that the Rockets' defense was indeed very good.
"What a fast defense, such a fast rotation, it's like infinite rotation!"
Although this is not the first time he has simulated a game with the Rockets, every time he sees the Rockets' defensive system, Du Kang secretly praises it.
D'Antoni has really found a secret weapon!
Popovich found the right players, not the secret weapon, but D'Antoni is indeed the secret weapon!
“The system’s evaluation is not wrong!”
Just when Du Kang thought that the Lakers and Rockets were going to end the first quarter of the game entangled again.
The situation has changed!
Wade made an emergency stop and hit a mid-range shot!
Wade steals Capela!
Wade made an emergency stop and hit a mid-range shot!
McAway succeeded in breaking through and drawing a foul, and made two free throws!
Mcaway received a pass from Seth Curry and made a layup under the basket!
With 4 seconds left in the first quarter, McAway stole the ball, counterattacked and hit a layup at the buzzer!
The Lakers' flurry in the last three minutes of the first quarter directly tied the game to 34-22, leading by 12 points!
"This is so comfortable!"
This point difference can be used as the cornerstone of victory in this game.
However, what worries Du Kang a little is that Seth Curry made 1 of 4 in the first quarter and only scored 3 points.
Can this game get thirty points?
Can he score 30 points on James Harden?
If Seth Curry can score 10 points in a single quarter with low efficiency like James, that would be perfect.
James Harden shot 2 of 8 in the first quarter, which was the same as Seth Curry's 1 of 4, 25%. However, James Harden has the ability to break through with the ball, and he can break through and draw fouls if he has poor touch.
So scoring is indispensable.
Pattern: Du Kang adjusted the rotation before the game. In the second quarter, Seth Curry was replaced with 9 and a half minutes left in the game, and James Harden was also replaced at this time.
As soon as he came up, Seth Curry received a pass from Garnett and hit a three-pointer over James Harden's head!
"pretty!"
Du Kang shouted excitedly!
Seth Curry’s game is so exciting!
In the first quarter, he went 1-for-4, and in the second quarter, he went 4-for-5, and in the third quarter, he made 3-of-4 three-pointers, scoring 11 points in a single quarter!
And in this quarter, the Lakers once again gained a 5-point advantage 36 to 31 in a single quarter.
After halftime, 70 to 53, the Lakers led by 17 points!
And Seth Curry scored 14 points in the first half, 12 of which were scored by James Harden!
This half was almost perfect!
"Thanks to Ye Si, Seth Curry's condition is normal in this game, and the Lakers' offensive system is fully displayed!"
After so many simulations of this game, this start is definitely the best!
"This game can be saved even if the final mission fails!"
Du Kang thought for a while.
"Save the first half!"
The second half of the game started, and just when Du Kang thought he would definitely be able to complete the task in the simulated game this time, in the third quarter, the situation suddenly changed!
In the third quarter, the Rockets, led by James Harden with 6 assists in a single quarter, made 8 of 13 three-pointers and scored a crazy 39 points!
In this game, James Harden started calling out Seth Curry crazily. The Lakers attacked, and Harden passed the ball.
Then the Rockets players next to Harden can really hit!
On the other hand, the Lakers' offense had problems. Seth Curry's touch was still excellent. He made 5 of 7 in a single quarter and 5 of 7 three-pointers. He scored 15 points in a single quarter. But except for Seth Curry, others He made 0 of 2 three-pointers. The Lakers only scored 28 points in a single quarter, but the Rockets recovered 11 points in a single quarter!
This third quarter made Du Kang want to restart the game!
However, looking at Seth Curry's 15 points in a single quarter, Du Kang couldn't bear it!
These 15 points were all scored on James Harden's head!
In this section, James Harden and Seth Curry called names crazily.
The two scored inextricably, James Harden scored 13 points in a single quarter, and Curry scored 15 points in a single quarter.
However, James Harden had 6 assists and Seth Curry had no assists.
James Harden used his offense to carry his teammates, but Seth Curry did not.
The Rockets' unlimited defense split the Lakers' offense into singles.
The Lakers didn't feel comfortable playing in the third quarter.
"Unlimited defense changes. D'Antoni's secret weapon is really powerful. It has unlimited defense changes with 100% proficiency..."
"Save the match and continue the simulation!"
Du Kang gritted his teeth!
I originally thought that with a 17-point lead in the first half, the first task was the best to complete.
Unexpectedly, after the third quarter, the task of scoring 30 points on James Harden was the best to complete, but the first task was the hardest to complete.
After the third quarter, the Lakers led by 6 points, and Seth Curry had already scored 27 points on Harden.
The Lakers still retain the opportunity to complete two tasks at the same time.
However, in the third quarter, the Rockets had already shown their form and momentum.
The Lakers had a very difficult fourth quarter.
really!
In the fourth quarter, the Rockets were the ones chasing points and taking the initiative!
The six-point difference caught up with 50 seconds left in the game, and only a 3-point difference remained.
116 to 119!
The two teams fought like crazy in the next game.
There were 3 seconds left in the final game and the Rockets had the ball.
Du Kang was excited!
Yes, the Lakers are going to win!
Seth Curry made 1 of 7 in a single quarter, which was very solid. However, this three-pointer was taken from James Harden. In the fourth quarter, Seth Curry took this three-pointer, but it was completed. The task of scoring 30 points on James Harden!
Win!
Scored 30 points on James Harden.
Completed!
"Three seconds! Only three seconds!"
Du Kang felt that his palms were sweating!
The timeout ends and the game resumes.
The Rockets serve from the sideline.
James Harden is the Lakers' key defensive player.
Ebanks and McAway were all staring hard at James Harden at this time.
"It's indeed James Harden!"
Even so, James Harden is the last one to catch the ball for the Rockets!
And it's not an illusion, it's really James Harden who caught the ball and made the game-winner!
Under the attack of Ebanks and McAway, James Harden jumped up, leaned forward, took a step outside the 45-degree three-point line on the right side, and threw the basketball in his hand!
James Harden's shooting posture is a three-point foul!
But both Ebanks and McAway hid!
"This goal can't be scored! This goal can't be scored for sure!!!"
Then!
A swipe!
Du Kang was dumbfounded!
"Damn it, you can get in here!!!"
In one game, Du Kang actually shouted C language twice in a row. This is definitely a record!
Du Kang originally thought that after his French basketball plus five-small system was built, the biggest opponents would be the Warriors, the Spurs, and maybe even the Thunder, Celtics, and Cavaliers.
Du Kang never thought of it.
The lifelong enemy of my own system is actually the Rockets led by D'Antoni and James Harden! ! ! !
"The game entered overtime!!! James' three-pointer tied the game into overtime!!!!"
The Toyota Center was going crazy, and Du Kang was completely dumbfounded.
Coach D was fooled by a simulated game.
The last person to achieve this feat was Russell Westbrook.
The three goblins of the Thunder! ! ! !
At this time, Du Kang, who was caught up in the simulation competition, had no idea that the expression on his face had been filmed by reporters around him.
And almost at the same time.
There have been a lot of news on the Internet about the 'technical adjustment' expression on Du Kang's face.
"Coach D was devastated when he saw Seth Curry's poor training state on the training field!"
"Coach D finally discovered that his Lakers team may just be a team that relies on luck!"
"Seth Curry without luck cannot play the core of French basketball. If Coach D wants to continue playing French basketball, he needs the real Curry, Stephen Curry!!!"
"Los Angeles Lakers, their fall into the world begins in Houston!!!"
In fact, the Lakers coaching staff and players at the scene also noticed the sudden change in the expression on Du Kang's face.
This was the first time they saw the expression on Du Kang's face changing so drastically in just a few seconds!
OMG!
"Coach, what happened all of a sudden?!"
Even veterans like Kobe and others were stunned at this time.
They are the players who have followed Coach D for the longest time. Even they have never seen Coach D behave like this.
"It feels like the coach is watching an incredible game!"
This facial expression is enough to make emoticons!
And almost at the same time.
Rockets training facility.
At this time, James Harden was practicing pick-and-roll cooperation with Capela on the training ground.
Rockets head coach D'Antoni attaches great importance to Capela.
As a rookie, it is not easy to be a starter in his rookie season.
In fact, even in a big year of the draft, it is difficult for a center player, a rookie player with no power at all, to start.
But Capela replaced Motiejunas as the starter this season.
This had a very big impact within the Rockets.
Because after starting, Capela's performance seemed to be average. He was not that strong and did not show superior data.
However, he is indeed fast, can run and jump, and is indeed very talented.
"Clint, in this game, you can pick and roll with James as much as you want."
In this training ground where there were only James Harden and Capela, D'Antoni patted Capela on the shoulder and said.
This is the core of his secret weapon!
A big center with outside athleticism paired with four forward guards who can rotate endlessly!
"Coach D, do you know how I have lived these past few years?"
"You have only studied the run-and-gun tactical system for a season, but I have studied it for a lifetime!"
"No one knows how to deal with your Farke basketball better than me, no one!"
D'Antoni looked at the news on the phone handed over by his brother, with a smile on his face.
"They are right, Coach D became a god from me, now I should pull him down!"
What a wonderful cycle!
Today’s second update.
(End of chapter)
