In this game between the Lakers and the Hornets, the most glorious person is Seth Curry.
The most lonely person must be Tony Parker, who was just sent to the Hornets by the Spurs.
I think about how glorious he was when he was with the Spurs.
Three championships, FMVP, and GDP are the focus of the NBA every year.
Regardless of whether you like Parker or the Spurs, you can never bypass GDP or Tony Parker.
He, Manu and Tim are the last big devils in the entire NBA.
What now?
But he was sent to a team like the Hornets by Pop and the Spurs!
How do these young people with the Hornets win success?
Parker didn't think he had any interest in this.
Now he just wants to leave this place, and then take revenge!
He glanced at the Lakers guard not far away who was hugging his parents and enjoying the applause.
Then he glanced at the Lakers head coach who was chatting and laughing with Jordan.
Tony Parker crawled into the tunnel alone.
No one noticed him.
No one on the Lakers noticed him, and the same was true on the Hornets.
Parker doesn't want to teach these young Hornets how to succeed.
Do you think these young people on the Hornets want Parker to teach them to succeed?
Of course it is impossible!
"Du, are you serious or are you joking?"
"Michael, do you think I'm a joker?"
Du Kang looked at Danzi and said with a smile.
It seems that Danzi is very excited about returning to play NBA games.
"Michael, are you excited?"
"Of course! I dream of participating in this era! Kobe, TMC, Yao, I dream of competing with them!"
Not far away, Barkley and Garnett Pierce were curious as they watched Du Kang and Danzi whispering there after the game.
"Coach D isn't doing something again, is he?"
Pierce asked curiously.
As time enters December, Pierce's mood is becoming more and more urgent.
He wants to start the Christmas game on December 25th!
Now I feel the recovery of my body and my strength!
He and Garnett have never changed their minds. This season they became the leaders of the Lakers, leading the Lakers to Boston and defeating LeBron James and Danny Ainge!
So they have been waiting.
Waiting for the day when Seth Kulli pulls his crotch.
This way Coach D will know who the players this team really needs to rely on.
But what embarrassed both of them was that Seth Curry did cross over, but never consecutively!
This is very uncomfortable.
They were suppressed by young people like Seth Curry in the Lakers!
Judging from the record of the Lakers' sideline players this season under the leadership of Coach D, the two of them feel like redundant in the Lakers.
This is very embarrassing.
If it is a pendant of the Lakers, even if it is taken to complete revenge in Boston, can it be real revenge?
"Du, are you okay?"
"No, I'm fine."
Du Kang smiled.
Paul Pierce
Favorability towards you: 90
Mood: Depressed, looking forward, sighing (I want to start, I want to be a leader, I want to reach the top of the NBA again and make Boston people regret it!)
Kevin Garnett
Favorability towards you: 90
Mood: Angry, unwilling, sighing (Why didn’t Seth Curry die? Why did the Los Angeles Lakers win again? They were losing, losing streak, and there was no crisis yet. Coach D, are you too strong!!! )
"Ding, your player Paul Pierce's favorable opinion of you has been adjusted from 91 to 90. Please check it carefully. It is the coach's responsibility to care for the players."
"Ding, your player Kevin Garnett's favorability towards you has been adjusted from 91 to 90. Please check it carefully. It is the coach's responsibility to care for the veteran."
Pierce and Garnett's favorability with him has dropped again.
The two's favorability towards him exceeded 95 when it was at its highest, but as the starting date was far away, the two's favorability towards him began to fluctuate.
In China, there has always been a saying that with greater ability comes greater responsibility.
In fact, this sentence is often unreliable.
Many capable people never want to take responsibility, so this sentence is just a beautiful expectation, not a reality.
The real reality is.
The greater the ability, the greater the ambition.
When Pierce and Garnett first came to the Lakers, they were on the verge of retirement and felt it would be good to have a rotation.
But what now?
After seven intensive training camps, the two men's abilities have recovered to 89%.
Young players need to strengthen too much, and many times they cannot feel the slightest improvement.
Veterans like Pierce and Garnett have high attributes to begin with, but their age-related physical attributes have declined, so they cannot exert their abilities. Now that their physical strength has been strengthened by Du Kang, they can exert their strength. of strength.
Naturally, he is not willing to just be the seventh or eighth man of a team.
This is actually very normal.
Du Kang never thought that these two people would always be good babies in the team.
Du Kang knew this would happen before he signed with them and came to the Lakers.
That's why he supported those young players so much at the beginning of the season.
Now, Pierce and Garnett are still not convinced!
"Michael, I look forward to seeing you on my team next season. I think fans all over the world are looking forward to Michael Jordan and Kobe competing for the scoring title on a team. What an interesting scene it will be. "
After Du Kang finished speaking, he left with a smile.
What was left was an excited Danzi whose hands were trembling.
Before the start of the Lakers' consecutive road trip, the whole world was not optimistic that the neurotic Lakers could achieve good results in this road trip.
Being able to win four out of these eight games is success.
However, on this away trip, we won all the first three games!
Although the Suns, Jazz and Hornets are not teams in the playoff area.
But the away games are the real deal!
What's more, two of the three games are back-to-back games!
On December 3, finally, American media experts once again opened the elevator for the Lakers.
After defeating the Bobcats, the Lakers' strength list improved from tenth to... ninth place.
Even though he was only promoted one place, this is a moment worth remembering.
The Lakers finally won and improved the strength rankings, instead of falling down after winning as before.
As for Seth Curry, the Lakers guard who has repeatedly jumped between cancer and superstar, trash and superstar, he once again received praise from the world after the game.
"Homecoming with glory, the most heartwarming scene in the NBA was staged at the Charlotte Arena. Once the number one star in the NCAA, he is now on the road to becoming the number one star in the NBA!"
"45 points in the game, 11 three-pointers in a single game, and the MVP cheers from the audience are the greatest praise for him!"
"Coach D's greatest work is still shining, and we are witnessing the greatest counterattack in NBA history!"
"From an undrafted rookie that no one cares about to number one in the MVP rankings, Seth Curry just met Coach D!"
Looking at these news, Du Kang didn’t know how to complain.
All I can say is, I’m back, everything is back again!
Well, don’t blame the media, because they are actually doing a good job.
At least, they started to boast after the Lakers won four games in a row.
The general NBA media is all one-sided!
Regarding the Lakers, they actually started discussing it after four games. It was really not easy, and they were already very patient.
After losing to the Warriors by 37 points at home, the Lakers' four-game winning streak brought the Lakers' record to 17 wins and 2 losses, still ranking first in the league.
Although not many people still think that the Lakers are the favorites to win the championship, the Lakers are now actually number one in the league.
What Dukang wants in the regular season is to be first in the league!
"In three seasons of coaching in the NBA, I have never finished first in the league in the regular season, and I have never won the best coach award."
It is indeed very incredible to say.
He is now said by many to be the Goat in the NBA coaching world, but he has never won the first place in the regular season or the best coach award.
There is no way, there were accidents in the previous two seasons.
The Lakers unexpectedly started a winning streak during consecutive road trips, which surprised the entire NBA.
And there is one person who is not only surprised now, but has also become nervous.
Who is this guy?
Of course it’s Chris Paul!
Because the world knows about the bet between him and LeBron James.
Chris Paul feels like he's going crazy.
"Chris, I can bet you this is not what I said."
"I know, of course this is not what you said."
Chris Paul almost cried when he saw the apologetic look on James' face.
It’s true that LeBron didn’t say this, because it was his agent Steve Shuman who said it!
They have already made a show of their reputation. If they don’t speak out and let the whole world know, wouldn’t it be a big loss if LeBron James regrets it?
Chris Paul was also excited at the time and agreed.
In the face of interests, Chris Paul once again did something that was sorry for his brother LeBron James.
When this incident was leaked, Paul swore that he never thought that Coach D's record of taking the Lakers on consecutive road trips could be so outstanding!
Now, it’s not that LeBron is riding a tiger and can’t get off, it’s that he’s riding a tiger and can’t get off!
Although the possibility of Coach D winning eight consecutive games is very low, but...
That's Coach D!
He has won three games in a row!
Why can't we win eight games in a row?
"Chris, I know what you're worried about right now."
Just when Paul was panicking, James spoke seriously.
Seeing James like this, Paul had a puzzled look on his face.
"Chris, when I accepted the bet you proposed, I never thought about winning against you, so you don't have to worry at all. Even if I win in the end, if Chris doesn't want to, I'm willing to play second fiddle to him." Head of the family, I said, I am not here to be Chris’s boss, I just want us to have a result as soon as possible, and we have no time to waste.”
"..."
Seeing the serious and solemn expression on James' face, Chris Paul was shocked again.
Coach D scared him with three consecutive wins.
In fact, Coach D has five games left to play, including a super strong team like the Cavaliers, so he doesn't need to worry at all.
However, he was still intimidated by Coach D.
Start worrying about gains and losses.
Why are you so worried about gains and losses? Isn't it because you want to be the boss of LeBron, who was once the favorite of the NBA?
But LeBron...him.
He actually...
Chris Paul took a deep breath.
"LeBron, you treat me as a brother, and I will never betray our agreement!
No matter what the final result is, we are all brothers! "
After Chris Paul finished speaking, James smiled.
"Chris, good brother!"
James hugged Paul tightly.
If they were just superficial brothers, he would never be able to rest assured. What if Chris Paul cheated him at a critical moment?
Why do you suddenly compete with him for FMVP in the finals?
Since we want to be brothers, we can only be true brothers!
There are not many people in this world who are like Dwyane.
Chris is no fool!
Chris Paul finally regained his composure after being comforted by his good friend LeBron James.
The boss must still think about it, but after being moved by LeBron James again, Chris Paul is also willing to accept becoming James' second child.
The eldest brother really wants it, and the second eldest brother can also accept it.
Wouldn’t this save you from having to worry too much about gains and losses?
Therefore, when asked this question, Chris Paul can respond calmly.
"LeBron and I do have this bet. This is not the beginning of our division, this is the beginning of our unity. No matter what the final result is, you will see a united Celtics, no, Celtics From now on, there will be unity, no, the Celtics will be united from the beginning!
Now we can make a bet that from today until Christmas, we will not lose a single game! "
Damn it!
Chris Paul's words shocked everyone present.
Have James and Paul, who were so furious after robbing their boss, really reconciled?
Even Wade, who was training with the Lakers at Duke University in North Carolina, saw the news.
So happy!
After the joy, Wade felt empty.
"I'm a Laker player now! I'm Coach D's player now!"
"But LeBron is my brother! Chris is my brother too!"
"They are all my wings!"
Pierce and Garnett had ugly expressions on their faces as they passed by Wade. They wanted to spit on Wade!
This idiot is sick!
And he is very ill!
No one can even cure it!
"What exactly is Coach D thinking?"
"Wade is a hidden bomb who will blow Coach D and the Lakers to pieces at critical moments!"
"Coach D still trusts Wade so much, that's crazy!"
Pierce and Garnett increasingly feel that the Lakers will be blown up by Wade at the end of this season!
After playing the game against the Hornets on December 2, the Lakers will have three days of rest. The next game will be against the Raptors in Toronto on December 5.
On December 4, Dukan and Seth Curry received the Western Conference Coach of the Month and Player of the Month awards from the league in North Carolina.
This is not the first time Du Kang has won this award.
And Seth Curry is definitely the first to win the Player of the Month award.
Throughout November, Seth Curry averaged 30 points per game and shot more than 45% from three-point range. Although Seth Curry's other statistics are terrible, this scoring data is indeed quite explosive.
He averages over 7 three-pointers per game!
Who doesn’t feel explosive after watching this?
In the future, as NBA teams become tougher on Seth Curry's defense, Seth Curry's scoring will definitely fall back, but so far, Seth Curry's performance has indeed exploded.
On December 5th, the Lakers challenged the Raptors away from home.
Seth Curry, who just had the best first month of his career, made 14 of 24 in this game, 10 of 18 three-pointers, and 3 of 4 free throws. He once again scored 40+ points, 41 points in the game. , bringing the Lakers to a final 112-109 victory over the Raptors.
In the last 2 minutes of the game, the Raptors relied on Seth Curry's crazy call to chase 102-102. In the last two minutes, Seth Curry assisted with two three-pointers and Wade made two mid-range shots, scoring 10 points in 2 minutes. , although the Raptors had the blessing of the home whistle and made 5 free throws in 2 minutes, they still lost in the end.
Seth Curry and Wade were in very good shape in this game, but the offensive status of other Lakers players was very poor.
Well, this is normal. Except for Wade and Seth Curry, the shooting abilities of other Lakers players...
Either it has attributes but no skills, or it has no attributes and no skills, which is unreliable. Sometimes it is even more unreliable in away games.
In this game, only three Lakers players scored in double figures, Seth Curry scored 41 points, Wade had 29 points, and Ebanks had 16 points.
In any case, this time for eight consecutive visits, it was the first time they faced a team in the playoff area, the Raptors with 12 wins and 8 losses in the Eastern Conference. The Lakers won!
"The winning streak continues!"
“Coach D’s winning streak on the road continues!”
On December 6, after playing the Raptors, the Lakers went to Brooklyn for back-to-back games and needed to face the Nets here.
The Lakers' winning streak continues. Last season's Nets were still able to make the playoffs. This season's Nets have become a weak team. What's even more desperate than this is that the Nets' draft picks, It's all in Celtic's hands.
There is no suspense about the outcome of this game, but Garnett and Pierce came back to face their old club, and Du Kang gave them a lot of playing time.
Pierce played 15 minutes, 4 of 5, 3 of 3 three-pointers, and scored 11 points.
Garnett played 20 minutes, made 5 of 7 shots, scored 12 points and had 4 blocks.
Well, the fourth quarter of this game is garbage time. 15 and 20 minutes in the first three quarters are indeed not short.
But Pierce and Garnett were still dissatisfied.
"Ding, your player Paul Pierce's favorability towards you has been adjusted to 88, please check it."
"Ding, your player Kevin Garnett's favorability towards you has been adjusted to 88, please check it."
Du Kang finally noticed that Pierce and Garnett couldn't help it anymore.
Not only Du Kang saw it, but everyone in the Lakers saw it.
If Coach D hadn't been so powerful with the Lakers, Garnett and Pierce would have gone crazy on the spot.
Therefore, after the game against the Nets, Lakers assistant coach Nash approached Du Kang.
"Coach, KG and Paul have some emotional problems. Should we adjust Paul and KG to the starting lineup? KG and Paul should be able to cooperate with Seth and the others, right?"
Nash and the others knew why Du Kang kept suppressing Pierce and Garnett.
The personalities of these two people are different from Wade's. They are used to being teachers of young people. They really need to be suppressed, otherwise these two people and the young people of the Lakers will definitely explode.
No problem pressing.
but……
Is it too much pressure?
Nash is very worried.
"It won't be long before they can start."
Du Kang finished with a smile.
Since Du Kang said so, Nash naturally has no other ideas.
And on the other side.
Back at the hotel, Pierce and Garnett grew more and more angry.
"Why does Wade, a guy who is clearly an undercover agent, get so much time? Why can we only be ordinary rotation players? No matter how good our hands are, we can only reach the top and bottom of the point? This is unfair!"
"KG, I'm going to find the coach and make things clear. We don't have to start, but we must be treated like stars. We deserve such treatment!"
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Pierce rolled up his sleeves and was about to go out to find Coach D for an explanation.
Garnett was still able to keep his composure. Although he was also very angry, he still caught Pierce.
"Paul, do you really plan to leave the Lakers? If you don't plan to leave the Lakers, don't do such a thing. In the Lakers, even Kobe has no privileges. Don't forget, Kobe was also thrown to the bench by Coach D. .”
"KG, you!"
"Remember what Steve said, what the coach gives you is yours, and what the coach doesn't give you, you can't take it! Our emotional coach has seen it, I believe in Coach D's wisdom! I believe Coach D signed us He came here and customized so many great training plans for us, not to humiliate us and make us sit on the bench."
"KG..."
"This is my last moment of calmness, the game against the Bulls. If this still happens, I will go to the coach with you!"
Paul Pierce took a final heavy breath and nodded.
He really doesn't want to leave the Lakers now.
Although Coach D did not give them unlimited time on the court, he really had nothing to say to them off the court.
Although their tempers are not very good, both of them feel that they are not the kind of ungrateful people.
At the very least, they don't want to do such a thing before Coach D explicitly offends them.
Shame on you!
They are different from villains like Ray Allen.
After leaving the Celtics, he went to the Heat with his backhand.
On December 8, the Lakers played their sixth consecutive away game against the Eastern Conference Bucks.
"Giannis, the coach is visiting now. Do you have anything to do with the coach?"
"I want to ask the coach for leave. I have a brother who is with the Bucks now and I want to go out and get together with him."
Antetokounmpo gave Nash a sunny smile.
His brother participated in the draft this year and was selected by the Bucks with a second-round pick.
His brother has been lobbying him to go to the Bucks. As long as he comes to the Bucks, both brothers can start. He will be the boss and his brother will be the starter.
However, he kept refusing without any hesitation.
But, after all, they are brothers, even if they have different opinions, they are still brothers.
Nash took Antetokounmpo to Du Kang's room. The room was half open at this time, and Du Kang and a very familiar voice to Antetokounmpo came from the room.
The coach's guest is Hardmon!
In the original draft, Hardmon was the first person to find him, but in the end he was intercepted by the coach. Originally, he thought he would definitely go to the Bucks.
Antetokounmpo frowned when he heard the content of the conversation between the coach and Hardmon.
Nash also frowned.
Nash wanted to go in and remind Du Kang.
but……
"Steve, please wait!"
Nash was pulled by Antetokounmpo.
In Du Kang's room.
As soon as Du Kang came to Milwaukee with the Lakers, Bucks general manager Hardmon found Du Kang.
"Coach D, I want Giannis. You can choose all the players on our team. You can choose the draft picks. We only want Giannis!"
Hardmon has not harassed Du Kang once or twice.
In the past two years, as long as the Lakers lose, Hardmon's trade offer will be delivered on time.
The content is the same.
Players can be chosen at will, draft picks can be taken at will.
"John, what kind of player do you think Giannis will be?"
This time Du Kang did not refuse.
Du Kang's attitude shocked even Hardmon himself.
Even Nash and Antetokounmpo outside the door were shocked.
Nash wanted to rush in.
But Antetokounmpo covered his mouth directly from behind.
Du Kang in the room naturally didn't know what was going on outside the door.
Hardmon didn't know either.
Hardmon is very excited now.
Coach D is open to trading Giannis!
Could it be?
I have a chance!
Was Coach D finally impressed by my sincerity?
Hardmon is excited!
"There is no doubt in my mind that Giannis will become an All-Star and a superstar!"
Hardmon felt that he was already trying his best to speak louder.
All-star is the bottom line, you can become a superstar!
For the current Antetokounmpo, such expectations are not low. Antetokounmpo is not good at shooting and has unstable offense. It is not easy to become an All-Star, and it is even more difficult to become a superstar.
Now everyone no longer calls Antetokounmpo a parallel import.
But they all believe that Antetokounmpo is only an elite player at best, and it is not easy to become an All-Star.
Therefore, after Hardemon finished speaking, he looked at Du Kang expectantly, waiting for Du Kang to appreciate him.
but!
To Hardmon's surprise, Du Kang didn't show any admiration.
In fact, Du Kang's face was full of disappointment and regret.
"John, your enthusiasm for Giannis makes me think you really understand Giannis, but in fact, you don't understand Giannis."
"Coach D..."
Seeing the extremely surprised look on Hardmon's face at this time, Du Kang smiled.
"All-star? Superstar? No, in my heart, Giannis will become MVP, FMVP, or even one of the top ten players in NBA history!"
A player with 99% potential, this is no joke.
Even if he can't fully develop Antetokounmpo's potential, but only reaches 98 or 97, as long as he fully develops all the skills he can develop, he will be an MVP-level player, even a top player in history!
"So, John, do you still feel that the offer you made to Giannis was a sincere offer?
No, in my opinion, your offers are not even half of the value of Giannis. "
After Du Kang finished speaking, Hardmon stopped talking.
Even Antetokounmpo and Nash outside the door were shocked.
Antetokounmpo's hand covering Nash's mouth loosened.
He needs time to slow down.
Everyone needs time to slow down.
Will Antetokounmpo become a double MVP player? Or even top ten all-time?
This achievement is already above Nash!
Hardmon was the first to come to his senses.
Coach D just said that Giannis can become an MVP and FMVP level player?
Hardmon looked at Du Kang with a look of disbelief.
If you don’t want to trade, don’t trade. To say this is a liar!
"Coach D, Giannis is in the Lakers. I believe that he will receive such an honor under your hands. After all, you have trained even a guy like Seth Curry into an MVP favorite, but..."
Before Hardmon finished speaking, Du Kang stopped him from continuing.
"John, you may have misunderstood. The honors and achievements I just mentioned were obtained by Giannis with the Bucks."
"..."
Hardmon was completely stunned.
Winning MVP, FMVP, and championship with the Bucks?
Hardmon looked out the window. It was indeed daytime. So, Coach D, what are you daydreaming about?
"Coach D, do you know who was the last player to win the MVP and championship with the Bucks?"
"Jabbar."
Du Kang smiled.
Seeing the smile on Du Kang's face, Hardmon was speechless.
You still know!
You don't really want the Bucks to trade for Antetokounmpo with the leverage they used to trade Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, do you?
"Coach D, do you think I'm a fool?"
"John is certainly not a fool."
"Then Coach D, just hold on to your Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the rest of your life. Milwaukee does not deserve to have the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in your heart!"
Hardmon shook his hands and left Du Kang's room. He felt humiliated.
And right now.
His system was shaken.
Um?
Du Kang looked towards the door.
He was watching Hardmon snort at Antetokounmpo and Nash.
So infuriating!
You're kidding me, right?
"coach."
"Did you hear everything?"
Nash and Antetokounmpo both nodded honestly.
Du Kang smiled.
"What's the matter with you?"
"Coach, Giannis..."
Antetokounmpo grabbed Nash.
"Coach, I want to start this game!"
Nash looked at Antetokounmpo in shock.
this……
Just when Nash was shocked, Du Kang smiled and nodded.
"Can."
After Du Kang said with a smile, Antetokounmpo showed his trademark sunny boy-like smile.
Meanwhile, the Bucks practice facility.
Bucks center Pachulia was pulled aside.
After Pachulia said something to the mysterious man, he returned to the team training with a thoughtful expression.
"Zaza, what happened?"
"No, it's nothing. It's just that I heard that I have a chance to make the future Kareem Abdul-Jabbar really remember me."
Pachulia said honestly to his teammates who cared about him.
What the hell?
The future Kareem Abdul-Jabbar?
Is there such a number one figure in the NBA?
“Ding, congratulations, you triggered Antetokounmpo’s hidden mission, the showdown with the strongest shadowless foot, and left Bradley Arena in a healthy condition. This mission cannot be refused, the content of the mission is hidden, and the reward method of the mission is hidden. "
"..."
What the hell?
A completely hidden mission?
How to fix this?
Du Kang was immediately stunned.
The second update is sent.
(End of chapter)
