"Did Coach D really let the Celtics score 20 points on purpose?"
"How can this be!"
In the opening game of last season, the Lakers faced the New York Knicks and beat the Knicks 19-0 at the beginning. At that time, the Lakers' big score against the Knicks had already made many people crazy.
In the end, in that crazy game, rookie Mikelaway completed a quadruple-double on James' head in his first game.
The most exciting thing about that game was not Mcaway's quadruple-double, but the unmoved Knicks head coach Jackson in the face of the Lakers' crazy attack.
The ever-widening point difference seems as if it doesn't exist, just like Coach D in this game!
O'Neal said it was crazy that the Lakers fell behind 20-0 in the opening game on purpose.
Many people even want to believe it!
Because Coach D is such a crazy person, he can do such crazy things!
Before the referee took action, I took action myself to see who would be embarrassed.
At this time, the referees on duty for this game were indeed a little embarrassed. However, the referees were embarrassed, but do they still want the Lakers' victory in this game?
Do you really think this Laker is still the same Laker that won the championship in the past two years?
Even if the Lakers, who have won the championship in the past two years, are 20-0 behind the Celtics, they may not be able to catch up, okay?
No, it should be said that there is a 99% chance that we will definitely not be able to catch up!
“Maybe this is Coach D’s final stubbornness in this game!
Now I want to revise my opinion of Coach D and the Lakers about this game!
I just said that the only thing Coach D can do in this game is to come up with a weird lineup to make everyone laugh. Other than that, he can't do anything else.
Now, I realize I was wrong, Coach D besides making us laugh, he can also shock us!
I admit, I was completely shocked by Coach D’s cool move!
I swear, after Coach D’s cool move, even if the Lakers lose by 20 points in the game, no one will criticize Coach D and the Lakers!
Because Coach D gave up 20 points at the beginning!
OMG!
So witty!
Coach D is really so witty! LeBron James said that the Lakers must be beaten by at least 20 points in this game. Coach D took the initiative to give 20 points and actively helped LeBron James and the Celtics complete the goals and tasks of this game. The Celtics Do people still have the nerve to continue fucking the Lakers?
Coach D has surrendered! ! ! "
Coach D deliberately allowed the Celtics 20 points!
Coach D has surrendered!
O'Neal's shouts shocked many viewers in front of the TV. They were really stunned at this time.
Even the most die-hard Lakers fans would not think that Coach D took the initiative to give up 20 points at this time because he was ignoring the Celtics or looking down on the Celtics and disdainful of the Celtics.
How can this Laker have the right to ignore and despise the Celtics? The only explanation is what O'Neal said, the title!
Although this is very strange, you have to admit that if you take the initiative to give up 20 points at the beginning of the game and only lose more than 20 points by the end of the game, in fact, the Lakers will not lose face too much.
Taking the initiative to give up 20 points is definitely better than playing hard, but still being unable to resist and being beaten by the Celtics for 20 points, it is more honorable and much more honorable.
And even if it was a life-and-death feud, the Lakers had already lost by 20 points. After three quarters, the game entered garbage time, and it was impossible for the Celtics to continue to beat the Lakers.
"I have to say, this move is really powerful."
Popovich agreed with O'Neal.
Because Popovich clearly saw that the expressions on the faces of the Celtics players on TV were not so happy at this time.
Farke!
The Celtic players looked quite uncomfortable at this time.
They are eager to beat the Lakers by 20+, but this is definitely not the process!
Even James feels that this process makes him feel like he is working on a mentally retarded team without any sense of accomplishment.
If the game really entered garbage time from the first quarter, James would definitely be the most unacceptable player.
In this game, he was prepared to punch Curry and step on Wade.
Curry and Wade didn't resist. No matter how many wins he won, he couldn't reflect his greatness. In the end, the victory in this game was just an ordinary victory.
An ordinary victory that doesn’t mean much.
This is definitely not the kind of victory James desires most.
"Mike, you see, even if you lose, you can be like Coach D, disgusting your opponent's loss."
Popovich had a smile on his face.
Now you know how disgusting Coach D is, right?
Coach D's move in this game was like the fans taking off their pants when he faced a tough conversation, and he suddenly gave GDP a rest.
Just asking you if it’s disgusting or not!
Therefore, James was angry on the court. What a hatred and hatred. Even if Coach D died or acted as a ghost, he would not let him go!
Although everyone’s grudges over the past few years, it is strange that Coach D would fulfill him, but there is really no need to be so cruel, right?
It turned the game into garbage time right from the start, what a shame!
James is very angry now. Coach D deliberately moved this game into garbage time, making him very uncomfortable.
It's not even about the score.
In the Christmas game, the Lakers trailed by as many as 28 points, but in the first half of that game, any fool could see that the Lakers were serious about playing, but they really couldn't win because the referees were taking advantage of them.
Therefore, James feels a sense of accomplishment in such a game.
In this game, James really has no sense of achievement at all!
The excitement of the game is basically non-existent.
Seeing James like this, Chris Paul asked quietly next to James.
"LeBron, what should we do with this game now? Just watch Coach D turn this game into garbage time?"
After Paul finished speaking, he looked at Coach D who was still smiling on the sidelines.
Farke!
Already 20 points behind, coach D not only has no intention of calling a timeout, but is even smiling on his face. Isn't this obvious?
This is already very obvious, Coach D just doesn't intend to have this game!
"Previously, the Lakers' starters were Seth Curry, Ebanks, Antetokounmpo and Garnett Barkley. I thought Coach D had some conspiracy. It turned out that Coach D just planned to give up the game. ah!"
McAway, Wade and Pierce did not start, and the Lakers only made two of the four All-Stars this season. It turns out that Coach D just wanted to give up the game!
What Paul can see, James is not stupid, how could he still not see it now.
James also looked at Du Kang on the sidelines, took a deep breath, and said sadly: "I don't believe Coach D will continue to let this lineup cause chaos on the court!"
This lineup of four big and one small is a random lineup.
"What if Coach D really continues to let this lineup stay on the court and cause chaos?"
"Then fifty-eight points!"
After James finished speaking viciously, Paul was stunned.
Originally, Paul thought James would slow down the Celtics and give way to the Lakers first.
Unexpectedly, LeBron was really prepared to fight the Lakers to death!
Even if you are playing against a mentally retarded team, if you perform well, there is still something to behold.
only……
"LeBron..."
"Don't think so much. Our opponent is Coach D. Don't try to deliberately defeat Coach D on the court. No one has such qualifications, not you, not me, not even God!"
After James finished speaking seriously, he walked forward, leading the Celtics players on the court to continue the half-court press.
Looking at James' back, Chris Paul's face was not only shocked, but also shocked.
This is LeBron James!
LeBron James, who used to be so proud, so arrogant, so arrogant, would actually be so humble in front of a person!
Chris Paul looked at the Lakers coach who was still smiling on the sidelines and put down all the little thoughts in his heart.
The game restarted and the Lakers fell behind 20-0. The Lakers continued to attack.
The Lakers fell behind 20-0 at the start, which was definitely not what the Lakers players wanted.
You all said Coach D did this on purpose.
However, the coach never let us intentionally start behind.
Lost by 20 points, Coach D is still laughing?
So it was intentional?
From the perspective of the Lakers players on the court, this is the coach's trust in them.
Some head coaches like to go up and down five times when the team is behind by a big score, but Coach D likes to continue to believe in the players on the court when the team is behind by a big score.
Because the starting lineup is decided by Coach D himself, even if there is a mistake, it is not the fault of the players, but his fault as the head coach.
Therefore, despite being 20 points behind, the Lakers players on the court are still meticulously executing the game plan.
And this is the funniest part, and the happiest part for the Celtics fans at the scene.
"Hahahaha, this is the Los Angeles Lakers. No matter how serious they are, they have no power to fight back in front of the powerful Celtics!"
"Coach D's decision is very correct. In this game, we should give up. When encountering the Celtics, the Los Angeles Lakers should act like a bitch and just give up and resist. This will only make the Celtics even more miserable. Excited, hahahaha..."
"Coach D understands, but the Lakers players on the court don't understand all this. They are actually playing the game seriously! Hahahaha..."
The Celtics fans at the scene were very happy, the Celtics fans in front of the TV, and the Celtics fans online were all very happy.
Because from their perspective, these Lakers players on the court are like beauties doing taekwondo when they encounter thugs. Their fighting ability is zero, but their excitement level is simply full!
If you were stepping into the perspective of a gangster, you would definitely be very happy now.
But at this moment, Coach D, who had been silent on the sidelines, finally made some moves!
Seeing the Lakers players getting serious and tightening up, Coach D on the sidelines actually signaled the Lakers players on the court to relax!
Coach D doesn't seem to want to see the Lakers players get serious!
"It's a hammer! Coach D just wants to give up this game!!!"
The Lakers players who originally planned to tighten up saw Du Kang smiling and pressing his hands down, what else could they do?
Of course, put away the tension!
The Lakers' pre-game plan for this game is to shoot, shoot, shoot!
The shooting after the opening was not going well, and they were beaten 20-0. They kept hitting the ball and making mistakes. The players on the Lakers court also knew what their problems were.
Especially with two old-school players like Barkley and Garnett on the court, how can we not know where the Lakers' current problems lie.
The attack is too casual and too simple!
In the eyes of Barkley and Garnett, it would be like 20 years ago in the NBA. With the way the Lakers played in the opening game, if they fell behind by 20 points, the fans would dare to directly yell at the head coach to dismiss the game!
This is definitely no joke.
Coach D’s Fake basketball is indeed too damn Fake!
Even after playing for the Lakers for two months, Barkley felt that he still had not adapted well to the rhythm of this kind of basketball.
"Charles!"
Under James' pressure, Garnett almost made a mistake and quickly hit Barkley with the basketball in his hand.
After Barkley caught the ball, Zach Randolph was also pressing hard, trying to take the basketball away from Barkley.
Seeing that the look on Barkley's face was not so focused at this time, Randolph thought this was a good opportunity.
but!
Randolph regretted it as soon as he made a move!
Barkley is too fast!
Turn around!
breakthrough!
Done in one go!
Press the defense tightly, and if one point is broken through, the entire defense will collapse.
The players on the Celtics court defended very well. James, Big Eyebrow, Gay and Paul also had excellent defensive abilities, so they quickly began to shrink.
"The Lakers are finally going to score!"
Barkley broke through Randolph and headed to the basket. Although the Celtics' defense was strong, it might not be able to make up for it.
After Barkley's tonnage got rid of Randolph, his advantage at the basket was too great!
Even if Nongmei and James really come back, they may not be able to stop them.
Unless everyone comes back together to attack.
Therefore, seeing Barkley's breakthrough, the Celtics are really shrinking, and they are definitely not fake!
However!
Just when the Celtics' four shrinking defensive players had shrunk to half, Barkley glanced at Du Kang next to him.
"Oh my God! Is Coach D directing Barkley to hit the ball beyond the three-point line?!"
"Barkley, really passed the ball!!!"
Barkley, who could obviously score easily under the basket, really hit the ball outside!
And almost at the same time, James moved a step laterally!
James was already prepared for Barkley to suddenly pass the ball to Seth Curry who was free!
only!
"Ebanks caught Barkley's pass!!!"
What? !
James was a little dumbfounded, and finally had no choice but to chase Ebanks!
But after Ebanks saw James rushing towards him, he immediately passed the basketball to Seth Curry on the left, and James continued to catch up!
James, who originally wanted to intercept the pass between Barkley and Curry, was actually walked!
This is actually very easy to understand.
With Barkley's experience, how could he possibly make that kind of dangerous, long-distance cross-field pass?
James wanted to intercept the pass between Barkley and Seth Curry, but he made a mistake.
Seth Curry received a cross from Ebanks and looked at James rushing out. Seth Curry took a step outside the left three-point line and pushed the basketball in his hand out again!
A swipe!
Seth Curry withstood James' defense and finally hit his first three-pointer of the game!
Starting in January and including February, Seth Curry averaged 7 three-pointers per game.
Most of them are this kind of catch-and-shoot shots, open shots, and shots against people. As long as Seth Curry catches the ball, he is fearless!
Because Seth Curry's shot is too fast, even if the defensive player saves it, the impact will not be that good.
James' defensive impact this time is not that big, but it makes people look fierce. It can be regarded as adding a large background board to Seth Curry.
In the eyes of fans, Seth Curry's shot against James is definitely a super powerful magic ball.
So, despite being behind 3-20, after Seth Curry hit the ball, all the Staples fans were shouting from Seth Curry!
Hitting such a shot against James is much more eye-catching than James' previous dunks!
Seeing Seth Curry finally hit the shot and seeing the Lakers finally score, Du Kang sat back in his seat with a smile.
As Coach D, who is the absolute focus of this game, his every move is the focus of everyone's attention.
In that offense just now, the Celtics really planned to kill the Lakers. They led by 20 points and pressed hard at halftime. This was the rhythm to kill the Lakers.
However, the final result was that the Lakers, under the command of Coach D, hit a 3-pointer and scored.
So, what exactly is Coach D planning to do in this game?
Only lose about 20 points?
If you add more, you will definitely not lose?
Coach D really thinks he can do this. You can lose as much as you want?
Many people don't believe it, and neither does James on the court.
James single-pointed Seth Curry, and Seth Curry once again gave way directly. Facing four long men, James finally chose to stop the crab jumper again.
Bang!
This time, there was no hit.
Barkley grabbed a backcourt rebound and launched a fast break.
In previous games, the Celtics had a great time beating the Lakers' fast break.
This time, it was finally the Lakers' turn to beat the Celtics' fast break!
Randolph is the slowest player on the court. In the frontcourt, the Lakers briefly had a five-on-four situation!
Garnett covers!
Ebanks covers!
Antetokounmpo covers!
Barkley covers! ! !
"Oh my God!!! Seth Curry and Barkley pick and roll, Seth Curry puts James in front of him!!!"
Who is better defensively, James or Chris Paul?
It's hard to say.
However, for Seth Curry, it is definitely better to beat James!
Facing Barkley's screen, James stumbled out. In front of him, waiting for him was Seth Curry, one step beyond the three-point line, and once again pushed the basketball in his hand!
It's 45 degrees outside the three-point line on the left again!
It’s Seth Curry again!
Another thrust!
James is numb!
However, James, who was stumbling, still jumped forcibly and blocked the way out!
James still worked very hard on defense this time, and it looked like a big splash, but!
A swipe!
Hit!
6 to 20!
The Lakers fans at the scene were even stunned for a moment!
After a brief moment of surprise, the Lakers fans at the scene burst into wild cheers!
As for the on-site commentary box, those commentators who just said that Coach D had given up the game and that Coach D was actually here to make fun of this game were all dumbfounded at this time.
Especially O'Neal.
In fact, O'Neal is already confused now.
“Coach D, this game is not funny!
Coach D did not give up this game on purpose! "
"Shaq, were those 20 points given up?"
Seeing the stunned O'Neal, Kenny Smith asked with a smile.
"The 20 points may have been conceded, but in Coach D's mind, he was willing to give up 20 points to the Celtics just to wait for his first start!!!"
Um?
O'Neal's words stunned Kenny Smith again.
Can you still say that?
It seems that there is no problem in saying so.
As soon as Coach D's starting lineup came out, they were 20 points behind. Coach D still didn't change or even call a timeout. It can indeed be said that he was willing to wait for this starting lineup and actively gave up 20 points to the Celtics.
So the question is, can Coach D’s current starting lineup of four big players and one small team get these 20 points back for Coach D?
too fast!
Coach D’s Fake basketball is chasing points too fast!
On the court, the Lakers were attacking, but Seth Curry hit two three-pointers over his head with two consecutive balls. With James's character, if Seth Curry were Jordan or Kobe, he might still be patient, but it's just a mere three-pointer. Seth Curry, how could James endure it!
Single Point!
Keep ordering Seth Curry!
The Lakers still have no double teams!
Seth Curry still gave in proactively.
This time, James did not stop for a jump shot, but directly stepped on Tianlong eight steps and went straight to the basket!
Facing such a brave James, of course the four long men of the Lakers cannot give in!
Buckley!
Garnett!
Ebanks!
Antetokounmpo!
No hesitation!
Recycle them all!
Don't care about the other Celtic players outside!
James jumped in the air and was numb!
"Jordan Rules! This is the Jordan Rules prepared by Coach D for James!!!"
When Coach D debuted with the Lakers, he became famous by teaching James the Jordan Rules.
It broke James's eye of death.
"I shouldn't have gotten lucky..."
Faced with slaps from all directions, James was desperate.
He didn't even have a chance to pass the ball!
When he rushed up this time, he thought he had Paul, thick eyebrows, Gay, and Randolph around him. Coach D didn't dare to really play the Jordan Rules with him.
He's gambling.
Now, he lost the bet!
Coach D, I really want him to die!
"The Heat can win, but James must die!"
In my ears, it seemed that Darwin Hamm’s shouting sounded again!
Snap!
James, who was leaning back and moving, finally failed to protect the basketball in his hand. Antetokounmpo knocked the basketball from James' hand hard!
After landing, Antetokounmpo picked up the backcourt rebound and pushed the fast break without waiting!
The Lakers' four big men, whether it's Garnett, Barkley, Antetokounmpo, or Ebanks, can all directly dribble the ball for fast breaks.
Not only that, all four of them can pass the ball and have very good cover capabilities.
James wants to counterattack Antetokounmpo on the spot.
Antetokounmpo passed the ball to Ebanks, and James once again continued to counterattack!
At the beginning of this game, James and the Celtics intercepted several passes from the Lakers.
At the beginning, the Lakers' style of play was not so adapted, and the tacit understanding was not yet in place.
Therefore, it is understandable that there will be some mistakes when facing the Celtics' pressing defense.
But now, the Lakers' cooperation seems to be more tacit, and the players' condition has also improved, mainly the two slow-burning veterans, Garnett and Barkley, have improved!
"James is working too hard, and James is still fighting back!"
The last offense was James' fault. It was too unique, so it is understandable that James wants to use his own defense to make up for it.
Starting with Antetokounmpo, Ebanks, Barkley, Garnett, and then back to Barkley!
James bumped into Barkley. This was a foul and it was a collision with the screener. However, the referee on duty did not call it and Barkley did not appeal. Instead, he handed the ball to Seth Curry.
This time, it's not outside the 45-degree three-point line on the left, this time, it's at the top of the arc!
The quality of Barkley's cover is so good!
He can pass the ball, he can block people, and he's also smart.
There is no better wall than this!
So, Seth Curry likes to be covered by Barkley.
James was stuck hard by Barkley!
Seth Curry pushed the basketball in his hand through Barkley!
In the end, James thought he was too stuck by Barkley and couldn't get out. In the end, he could only push Barkley hard!
Barkley saw that Seth Curry had completed the push, smiled slightly, gave up his position, and put James in front of Seth Curry.
Seeing Seth Curry who had already completed the push shot, James was dumbfounded!
Got shot again!
He, LeBron James, got shot by Seth Curry again!
This guy Barkley did it on purpose just now! ! !
James felt like his mentality was about to explode!
These old guys! ! !
James really feels like he is going crazy now!
This time, James didn't jump or block, he just stood there with his hands raised.
but!
Useless!
A swipe!
Seth Curry's three-pointer hit again!
9 to 20!
Seth Curry hit three three-pointers on James' head in a row!
Three consecutive three-pointers hit James' head, and even the Celtics fans at the scene were confused.
Did Seth Curry do it on purpose?
No!
Coach D did it on purpose!
because!
Throughout the first quarter, whether it was Seth Curry, Garnett, or Barkley, they all took the initiative to attack James! ! !
"OMG!"
"Take the initiative to find the one with the strongest defense to attack!"
Many experts at the scene were shocked.
What's even more shocking is the score!
After the first quarter, the Lakers were originally 20 points behind.
At this time, 28 to 30, only 2 points behind!
After the first quarter and the beginning of the second quarter, James was still on the court gritting his teeth.
At this time, James' eyes were full of anger, and they were all about the big-cheeked man who was squatting there arranging the Chinese knot.
"Coach D, do you think you can consume me like this? You're so naive!"
Wade arranged the Chinese knot, stood up, and looked at Coach D standing in front with a smile on his expressionless face.
"coach……"
Du Kang smiled and shook his head.
"Thanks."
