EST, January 23, 2013, 10 p.m. ET.

Memphis, Federal Express Arena.

The home team Memphis Grizzlies and the away team Los Angeles Lakers are in full swing.

The Lakers bench off the court, the players on the player bench, have been pulled by the game, and they excitedly stood up and sat down one after another.

Lakers fans who are watching live TV at this time must have a lot of knowledge of these Lakers bench players.

Pau Gasol, Antoine Jamison, Chris Duhon, Darius Morris......

All of them are well-known players in the league.

If you count Kobe, Nash, Howard on the court at this time, charity world peace......

2 MVPs, 2 Best Defensive Players.

This Laker is definitely star-studded.

However, the star-studded Los Angeles Lakers now have a 17-25 record.

Head coach D'Antoni has a 12-20 record since taking over, and the Lakers have lost nine of their last 11 games.

This game, if it loses again, it will be 10 of the last 12 games.

Kobe, Nash, Howard, Gasol, and Ci Shiping's Lakers are being beaten by the Grizzlies......

On the side of the court, in the first row of the side bench next to the players' bench, Lakers head coach D'Antoni couldn't sit still, anxiously following the ants on the hot pot.

At this time, many NBA expert reporters who are making trouble are waiting for Kobe's death glare again.

The last time Bryant glared at Mike Brown.

Will Kobe Bryant go after D'Antoni this time?

In the second row of side seats that go unnoticed.

The atmosphere is completely different from the first row.

"Du, we definitely lost this game again, our tactics really went wrong, we can't let Kobe, Nash run around like mad dogs without a goal, they're not young anymore, I'm not sure if doing this, apart from consuming our stars, is there anything else we need to change."

"Darwin, is there a possibility, perhaps, Mike...... Will it only be this trick? ”

“……”

After listening to the words of the handsome young man next to him, Darwin Hamm was stunned.

Why didn't he think about it?

The young man sitting next to Darwin Hamm was named Dukang.

23 years old, a former American international student, graduated from UCLA last year.

In his freshman year of college, he joined the UCLA men's basketball team and became a part-time assistant trainer for the team.

In his sophomore year of college, he successfully went from being a part-time assistant trainer to a part-time trainer.

In his junior year, he became a part-time assistant coach.

After two years of assisting UCLA head coach Ben Holland, he graduated from college and entered the Los Angeles Lakers.

Dukang is now a regular assistant coach with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Generally, an NBA team will have 4-5 assistant coaches.

Take the Lakers, for example.

At this time, five people are sitting in the first row of the front bench (coach's seat).

One head coach, three assistant coaches, and one sports trainer.

This is a fixed number set by the Union.

The five men in the first row of the dugout are such specifications that every team must adhere to.

On the Lakers' side, the head coach is D'Antoni.

The three assistant coaches are Don D'Antoni, D'Antoni's confidant and older brother, and now the chief assistant coach.

There is also Steven Clifford, who is in charge of the team's defense and keeps an eye on Howard, the confidant of Lakers superstar Dwight Howard.

and Eddie Jordan, the Lakers' 82-year champion in charge of the team's offense, and the former head coach of the NBA Wizards, who was hired by former Lakers head coach Mike Brown.

These people are familiar to many NBA fans.

And the second row of the coach's bench, except for the team's fourth assistant coach, the rest of the personnel are not fixed.

The second row can seat player development coaches, video coordinators, senior scouts, sports performance assistants, assistant trainers, team security personnel.

A team like the Lakers with supergiants, these supergiant bodyguards, can also be mixed in the second row.

Therefore, the second row, in the side seats, is also known as the special seats for idle people, a bunch of bastards.

Fans don't pay attention, the media doesn't report it, and there may not be a single broadcast of a game.

And Du Kang is the fourth assistant coach of the Lakers.

Next to him, Darwin Ham is the Lakers' fifth assistant coach.

Both are rookies in the NBA coaching class.

Darvin Ham was previously an assistant coach with the New Mexico Thunderbirds of the NBA Development League.

Du Kang was previously an assistant coach at UCLA.

Relatively speaking, the elite schools in the NCAA Division I league must be far above the NBA Development League.

Moreover, Du Kang is not an ordinary prestigious school, he was born in UCLA, and UCLA's signboard is very useful in Los Angeles.

Du Kang's background, in the Los Angeles Lakers, is better than former NBA player Darvin Ham.

So Dukang was fourth, and Darwin Hamm was fifth.

However, the fourth and fifth, in fact, do not matter, they are all miscellaneous fish.

Even the team's second assistant coach, Eddie Jordan, has recently been tortured to death by a $900,000 assistant coach job in the NCAA, wanting to go for money, and reluctant to completely lose the opportunity to coach the NBA.

Even Eddie Jordan was like that.

Miscellaneous fish like Dukang and Ham, if they want to counterattack and become the head coach of the NBA, they must work hard for at least ten or twenty years?

In fact, most of the miscellaneous fish have never had the opportunity to coach NBA teams in their lifetime, and most of them can't get along, and finally go abroad, secondary universities, high schools, middle schools, and elementary schools to coach.

A small number of people who can take root can only get tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of dollars in salary, and go around in various NBA teams for a lifetime.

In the end, there are very few people who can mix with NBA head coaches from miscellaneous fish.

Former Lakers acting head coach Bernie Bakerstaff struggled for 30 years before getting his first coaching opportunity.

Thirty years......

"Du, I still think, what should we do, we can't let the Lakers lose like this again, we have so many good players, how can we play such a record?"

"Darwin's ......"

Du Kang looked at this middle-aged man whose neck was getting shorter and shorter, fatter and fatter, and longer and more honest.

"Can you make George Carl like Ray Allen?"

“……”

Du Kang's rhetorical question made Hamm's black face almost red.

Ray Allen was his boss when he was a player with the Bucks.

George Carr was his mentor.

The contradiction between the two is known to the entire basketball circle.

In the Bucks that year, George Karl designed a tactic for Ray Allen, first giving the ball to Ham in the low post on the strong side, and Ham broke through to the bottom line with the ball to attract Ray Allen who passed to the bottom corner after the defense.

The name of this tactic is 'Hammer', which is derived from Darwin Hamm's name.

Don't look at Hamm's name, he has been a role player at the bottom of his career for the rest of his career.

He is also the one who once had his own tactics with Ray Allen.

He knew better than anyone else the relationship between Ray Allen and George Carr.

"Du, you're right......"

Hamm sighed.

Back then, he had a much closer relationship with Ray Allen and George Carr, and he couldn't change the relationship between the two, and he didn't even have the qualifications to intervene.

Who is D'Antoni now?

Let D'Antoni listen to him, give up the tactical idea of running and bombing, reduce the tempo, and play the position?

Isn't that a fuss?

Those famous coaches in the NBA, except for a few people, are people who have held their own systems all their lives, and they will only, or say, only study this hand.

Running and bombing is D'Antoni's hallmark.

Even if the running bomb is not suitable for the current Lakers, D'Antoni will not change.

It's about letting the players adapt to him, not him adapting to the players.

"Darwin, these things are not what we should care about, these things are things that those people should worry about."

Du Kang smiled and pointed to the sky.

When encountering this kind of thing, the immortals will naturally fight, and they are not qualified to participate in it yet.

What qualifications do the two of them have to love the Lakers?

They love the Lakers, and the Lakers have to love them.

If he takes the lead in creating D'Antony's rebellion, they will be the ones who will die 100%.

The Lakers are certainly not going to love them.

Having said that, looking at the Lakers who were being beaten on the court at this time......

The Lakers, who are about to lose 10 games in 12 games, will be heartbroken by Lakers fans.

Not to mention them, the Lakers' assistant coaches.

Such a good lineup, led like this by D'Antoni, is not as good as Bernie Beckstaff before.

Du Kang, like Hamm, is also very uneasy.

It's just that he's not as outgoing as Hamm and doesn't put emotions on his face.

The face doesn't need to be black, the belly is black.

Hamm, on the other hand, is an extrovert even among blacks.

Ham, who won the championship with the Pistons in 2004, was the one who cried the most in the locker room.

Moreover, Ham's dissatisfaction with D'Antoni is not only due to his outgoing personality and D'Antoni's poor coaching performance.

What's more, former Lakers head coach Mike Brown has a good understanding of Ham.

Ham came to the Lakers a year before him, and was invited to the Lakers coaching staff by former Lakers head coach Mike Brown, responsible for the physical and mental development of players such as Kobe Bryant and Howard......

Kobe Bryant and Howard's physical and mental health, can Ham be responsible?

Is Hamm also worthy of teaching them both in their physical and mental development?

Mike Brown was actually giving Hamm a job and a job.

Mike Brown is a disciple of Popovich, Popovich is a disciple of Larry Brown, and Ham is a disciple of Larry Brown in 2004.

That's why Mike Brown is willing to carry Hamm.

Ham is the biggest force in the NBA, a fringe member of the Larry Brown Popovich line.

The Lakers' two former head coaches, Mike Brown and Bernie Beckstaff, are all members of this faction.

Larry Brown Popovich is a ghost, if he looks at D'Antoni.

What's more, D'Antoni also made this star-sturdy Laker like this.

Dukang has no faction in the NBA, and there is no need for him to be involved.

Larry Brown-Popovich's forces have been largely cleared of the Lakers.

Even if he wanted to stand in line, he wouldn't stand with Hamm.

Moreover, there is no need for him to take sides.

He is a member of the UCLA department, no one can be offended, and naturally no one will trouble him inexplicably.

Ham is now, and if D'Antoni doesn't go, he's going to have to get out right away.

Eddie Jordan, who didn't know how many levels higher than Hamm, had already found a home, and before being purged, he took the initiative to leave and retain his dignity.

If Ham could find his next home like Eddie Jordan, he wouldn't be so self-pitying by his side all day long.

He was completely different from Hamm, who was now in a state of his own insecurity.

Therefore, for the time being, he will be in the Lakers and secretly develop and reward, which is his current strategy.

In this game between the Lakers and the Grizzlies, the Lakers who were playing away from home lost 93-106.

At the end of the game, D'Antoni turned pale.

This is the 10th loss for the Lakers in the last 12 games.

Jim Bass, who was sitting in the VIP seat to supervise the battle, probably had a more ugly face than D'Antony.

As the old Bass era came to an end, the struggle for power of the Bass family became known to all.

Jim Buss and Jeanie Buss are the two biggest factions in the Lakers.

Jim Bass, along with the other three siblings, pushed Jenny Bass out of the basketball business.

Jeanie Bass was the elder Bass who gave advice and fanned the flames to fight back.

The two sides are fighting with each other, and it is difficult to inseparate.

After Mike Brown and Beckstaff got out of class, Jenny Buss wanted to bring back her boyfriend Phil Jackson as head coach.

Jim Bass brought in D'Antoni.

In such a grim fighting situation, every game D'Antoni loses now is equivalent to a slap in the face to Jimbas.

Thinking of Jeanie Buss's face, Jim Bass wanted to shoot D'Antoni with a gun at this time.

It's too TM to be angry!

D'Antoni is becoming more and more incompetent now, and when he invited D'Antoni to come, wouldn't he have no eyes?

How can he unite the Lakers to resist Jeanie Buss?

He was able to ascend to the throne because his brothers and sisters helped him squeeze out Jenny.

Jenny, on the other hand, has a lot of support from Lakers management.

If the Lakers lose again, Jeanie Buss will soon be able to make a comeback.

Now there are a lot of voices within the Lakers who are looking forward to Phil Jackson's return to coach and Jeanie Buss to return to control the team.

"Fack!"

……

……

"Ding, the game is over, and the points settlement of the basketball coaching career system begins."

Match level: A (NBA regular season), 1.6x MP (career points) can be settled.

Match Data Reward: 93 to 106, Loss, MP Reward: 16 points (Data Guaranteed Reward for A-level matches)

Satisfaction bonus MP: 100

Player satisfaction: 20%

Fan satisfaction: 15%

Management satisfaction: 65%

MP for Coaching Match Influence: 0 (No positive influence on the game)

MP reward for this match: 186 points (rounded)

"The Lakers management is really full of thieves, this game was lost so badly, the management actually has 65% satisfaction, the more the game is lost, the higher the management satisfaction, how impatient I hope Jim Bass will get out, I can only say, Aunt Jenny cowhide."

Thanks to Aunt Jenny's support, even if the Lakers' record is not good, even if the current record is only 17-25.

However, he was still provided with an MP reward of 12,525 points.

There are a lot of rewards for winning, and the rewards for losing are not low, this kind of salted fish day is simply not too cool.

"It's still a long way from the 1 million points needed to buy the Lakers' head coach position."

If he can stay in the NBA and play soy sauce, maybe in 30 years, he can complete his life counterattack and become a Lakers head coach.

By the way, the Lakers head coach position now has the lowest purchase points.

The main reason is that he is the assistant coach of the Lakers, and secondly, the head coach of the Lakers D'Antoni is shaky, and the Lakers are now a recognized coaching black hole in the NBA coaching circle.

There are no famous men who dare to step on this pit now.

Right now, the Lakers head coach position is at the bottom of the purchase price.

It's a pity that he doesn't have that many points right now.

Leaving the NCAA to apply for an assistant coach with the Lakers allowed him to spend all of his NCAA accumulation.

If he hadn't come from UCLA, it wouldn't have been enough for him to be an assistant coach with the Lakers.

With the exception of the Lakers, assistant coaching positions on other NBA teams require high career points.

After the settlement, Du Kang habitually opened the career application interface, wanting to see if there was a chance to pick up the leaks.

Not to mention missing the head coach of the NBA, it is also good to miss the assistant coach of other promising teams.

However, Du Kang generally does not give up hope.

Hey?!

Position: Acting head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers

MP: 10,000 (Lakers Assistant Coach Exclusive Discount)

Purchase Requirements: Lakers Assistant Coach (meet requirements)

Introduction: After the purchase, the Lakers fired D'Antoni and you became the acting head coach. The acting head coach may be able to become a regular, or he may be fired in the next game, so please buy carefully.

Du Kang rubbed his eyes fiercely, and then rubbed it again, no dazzle!

He, at this moment, really has a chance to become the head coach of the Lakers, even if it is the acting head coach, it is also the head coach!

Be careful of your sister!

If you don't stud at this time, do you really have to wait 30 years?!

Maybe Jim Shu will regret it in the next second and don't want to fire D'Antony!

"Buy! Buy! Buy! ”

"Ding, the host has purchased the position of acting head coach of the Lakers, please don't repeat the operation."

The prompt that popped up on the system interface made Du Kang a little embarrassed.

I was so excited just now.

However, everyone should be able to understand, hehe.

"Du, what are you doing, please review this game!"

“……”

Dukang came back to his senses and looked at Don D'Antoni in surprise.

As the team's first assistant coach, shouldn't you review it?

Or is this game a defense, you don't want to eat, you want me to eat?

Usually when you don't want to eat, don't you let Hamm eat it?

He is a small miscellaneous fish, but he doesn't feel that he has a good background and no one is bullying.

Now the Lakers' record needs to find someone to blame.

Kobe, Nash, Howard certainly can't be used to take the blame.

The D'Antoni brothers certainly didn't want to take the blame either.

So the ones who can take the blame are Eddie Jordan, Hamm and him.

The current record of the Lakers is estimated that Ham and Eddie Jordan are not enough to carry back, and he is not enough.

He had already guessed that D'Antoni should have suggested to Jim Bass that the coaching system be completely cleaned.

It's their group of assistant coaches who are useless, so the Lakers players can't implement his tactical system.

Good calculation.

However, everyone is here to save themselves, but they will not make Du Kang feel targeted, and then naively confront the D'Antoni brothers, scolding the air.

Didn't he consider D'Antoni when he bought the Lakers' acting head coach position just now?

Maybe he won't buy it, and Jim Bass, who has passed the impulsive period, will regret it and be willing to give D'Antoni another chance?

Therefore, Du Kang, who was caught by the D'Antoni brothers, was not angry.

Nor did he give the rest of the coaching staff a review of the game, as Don D'Antoni had requested.

This coaching staff meeting made it clear that it was the D'Antoni brothers' throwing the pot, and he didn't need to bother to talk too much.

It's useless to argue.

Facing the 'dead'.

At this point, just smile.

Hehe.

"Du, I think your work attitude is very problematic."

Seeing the inexplicable smile on Du Kang's face, D'Antoni frowned.

Dukang still didn't speak, but the object of his smile was D'Antoni.

Du Kang did this, so that D'Antoni, who was about to shake the pot, punched the cotton, and the expression on his face became even more ugly.

For a while, the hotel conference room suddenly became tense.

Seeing that Du Kang was so brave, he actually dared to harden the De Anthony brothers.

Eddie Jordan and Ham and Clifford, all their faces full of disbelief.

Is this still the usual good gentleman, a transparent person who can't be offended by anyone?

Hamm, who originally thought that Du Kang was very cowardly and did not dare to rebel against him, looked at Du Kang's eyes at this time.

Du ...... He is braver than me! ”

Now that Du Du has stepped forward, what am I waiting for?!

Even if we are all cleaned up in the end, the news of the Lakers coaching staff infighting will be enough for the D'Antoni brothers to drink.

The poor record, coupled with the news of infighting in the coaching staff, may make the D'Antoni brothers get out of the way?

"I think ......"

Hamm just stood up.

The door to the room was pushed open from the outside.

Jim Bass had pushed the door in.

Seeing Jim Bass come in, the D'Antoni brothers' eyes lit up.

"Jim, I don't think Du is out of office as an assistant coach on the team."

After D'Antoni finished speaking, Jimbas did not speak, but gave D'Antoni a deep look.

"Mike, from now on, you're fired."

"What?!"

D'Antoni thought he had misheard.

Jim Bas didn't look at D'Antoni again, but looked at Dukang with a frown.

"Du, until the new head coach takes office, you will act as the head coach of the Lakers."

With that, Jim Bass left.

The hotel conference room was silent.

At this time, including the D'Antoni brothers and others, the eyes that looked at Du Kang were completely different.

Especially the calm smile on Du Kang's face at this time, that smile has a lot of meaning.

"He's known for a long time!"

"His background is very deep!"

"The D'Antoni brothers wanted to move him, but it was the D'Antoni brothers who left in the end!"

Hamm, who had just stood up to relieve Du Kang, was excited.

He has a backer again!

"Du!"

In fact, at this time, Du Kang was actually more excited than Hamm.

He, actually, really became the head coach of the Lakers!
