Chapter 12: This rookie coach is a bit dark!

It's an incredible thing, but at this point it's putting Tyrone Corbyn under pressure.

Before the start of this game against the Lakers, he was under a lot of pressure.

Don't look at the Lakers are only 13th in the West, but before the game, the whole United States is helping the Lakers calculate how many games they should win in order to become eighth in the West and reach the playoffs.

The average team in the West 13, the media won't look at it, a team like shit, and the playoffs? Dream on!

But this team is the Lakers, Kobe Bryant's Lakers, and the five-star Lakers.

Therefore, even if they are thirteenth in the West, they can put huge pressure on the Jazz who are eighth in the West.

Under such great media pressure, he, as the head coach of the Jazz, is of course very panicked.

Fortunately, the conflict between Kobe Bryant and Lakers acting head coach Du Kang suddenly broke out before the game, which allowed him to release the pressure and feel that the game was stable.

Just now......

Looking at the acting head coach of the Lakers who looks calm and directs no matter how far behind, Tyrone Corbin is now a little anxious.

He's also a relatively young manager, he doesn't have that much patience.

He now hopes that the Jazz will quickly defeat the Lakers!

"Gordon, you're on!"

……

……

"It seems that the Lakers' strong pursuit of points has put a lot of pressure on the Jazz, and Jazz head coach Tyrone Corbin couldn't sit still and chose to put the team's young small forward Gordon Hayward on the bench to replace the underperforming Jamal Tinsley."

After Ke Fan finished speaking, Yang Huahua immediately added.

"As Nash's direct opponent, the game has only been 2 of 9 so far, and he scored a measly 4 points, which is unacceptable, and if it weren't for Tinsley's failure to name Nash, the Jazz would not have been bitten back by the Lakers so quickly."

The TV camera was then focused on Dukang on the sidelines, trying to capture his reaction when he saw the Jazz head coach forced by him to change formations.

"I guess, Coach Xiao Du must be very proud now......"

As soon as the psychological master Yang Huahua finished speaking, she snapped and was slapped in the face by Du Kang.

Du Kang on the camera, the expression on his face was not Yang Huahua's guess, but dignified.

"Teacher Yang, this ......"

“……”

Even if she is a psychological master, Yang Huahua doesn't understand what is going on at this time.

Not to mention Yang Huahua, the Lakers fans on the scene didn't understand it.

As a rookie head coach, using his ability to force the opposing coach to rotate important players at non-rotation points is something to be proud of and proud of.

If you pretend to be dignified in order to show your modesty, it's okay to actually hold your head up and be proud.

But Du Kang, at this time, the expression on his face was frowning, frowning deeply.

It doesn't have to be like this, right?

Even the two Van Gundy commentators on the sidelines were puzzled.

"Could it be that Du predicted something in advance?"

"Is it really that amazing? I don't believe it! ”

After Van Gundy Jr. finished speaking, Stan Van Gundy almost blurted out.

He really can't believe it!

He is the head coach of the Lakers' scandal, and his agent is so strong, he will become the head coach of the Lakers in the future, so what should I do?

However, it's just that magical!

After Gordon Hayward was replaced by Tyrone Corbin, the Jazz's offensive unfavorable situation on the court was fundamentally reversed.

Gordon Hayward, in naming Nash, is not comparable to Tinsley.

On the court, Gordon Hayward received a pass from Randy Foye, and with a sideways strong penetration, he knocked Nash out of the way, and hit a mid-range shot from a quick stop outside Howard's range.

If it weren't for the Lakers' basket to help defend Howard, Hayward would definitely have chosen to dunk straight to the basket.

"Very, very beautiful catch-and-break pull-up jump shot, this young man from the Jazz team is tall and very solid!"

"In such a scorching positional battle, Nash's stay on the court is a huge hidden danger to the Lakers, and Coach Xiao Du needs to think of a way to solve this problem."

"Teacher Yang, do you think there is a solution to this problem?"

"There is no solution."

“……”

What you just said is so exciting!

"After all, Nash is a two-time NBA regular season MVP, a legendary player in the NBA, and the Lakers who took a salary cut to join, no matter what, it is impossible for Nash to play on the bench, or not to play, so I can't bear it and it doesn't make sense."

"Teacher Yang, you are right, Coach Xiao Du is in a very difficult situation right now."

On the offensive end, Bryant hit the iron in the front frame.

On the defensive end, Nash brushed the leak in the back.

If it weren't for Mr. Xiao Du's use of the limited resources that could be mobilized at his hands and bite hard, in fact, the Lakers would have collapsed at this time.

This Laker is really a tragedy.

The Lakers' situation that was originally starting to improve was once again precarious because of the intervention of Gordon Hayward, a new force.

What's worse is that Nash on the court is becoming more and more confused and less confident.

"Now, can he still face such a situation calmly?"

Phil Jackson looked curiously at the young Lakers head coach on TV.

At this time in Staples.

The Jazz's offense once again singled out Nash.

Gordon Hayward, who had just come on the pitch, showed a very good touch.

Another stop-and-go mid-range hit after breaking through Nash.

The opponent is a dynamic, 23-year-old NBA rising star.

As for himself, he is a 38-year-old veteran who is drooping and old, and his legs have been filled with lead.

Such a strong contrast made Nash painful.

The Lakers are in a painful situation right now.

His own condition is equally painful.

"It's really time for me to retire......"

Although he is unwilling, he should indeed leave this stage that no longer belongs to him with all regrets and reluctance.

D'Antoni is gone, the Lakers, don't need him anymore......

"Du, we should replace Steve right now, he's completely lost defensive confidence!"

Lakers assistant coach Darwin Ham next to Dukang was anxious like an ant on a hot pan.

Is it time to change Nash at this time?

From the direction of the game, at this time, it is time to change Nash.

But......

Du Kang knew that he couldn't change!

Dukang thought about that Nash in the simulation game.

Nash in that system, not so much emotional.

After all, Nash in the system is a string of data, and no matter how intelligent it is, it seems rough compared to reality.

Nash in the simulation game, although he was also beaten by Gordon Hayward, did not collapse.

If the real-life Nash is finally defeated by Gordon Hayward, will there be a butterfly effect, and the final result of the simulation game will change?

If Nash were replaced now, would it also have a butterfly effect, which would ultimately have an impact on the outcome of the simulated game?

Although he is a rookie, he can also see that Nash is heading for a breakdown.

But!

He can't bet!

There can't be any butterfly effect in this game!

"We can't trade for Nash!"

After saying it firmly, Du Kang walked to the sideline again.

"The Lakers' rookie coach finally can't sit still!"

"A rookie, how can he be so calm all the time!"

"Did he think he was a Zen master? He's a lucky rookie! ”

"This substitution will be the beginning of the collapse of the Lakers F5!"

"But he had no choice!"

Under the gaze of an unknown number of eyes on the scene and on and off TV, Du Kang came to the sidelines.

He did not ask for a timeout, nor did he signal the referee to make a substitution.

Instead, he shouted to the audience again.

"Steve, run, leave your back alone, trust your teammates, run, follow him!"

Nash, who walked forward with his head down and was about to be substituted in the next round, thought he had misheard.

Even Kobe, who was advancing with the ball at this time, looked at Du Kang who was shouting next to him in amazement.

"I don't need you to defend anyone, I just want that Steve Nash who is everywhere on the offensive end and does his best on the defensive end, you can still do it now!"

"Steve, keep your head up and run, you're the MVP!"

Nash, who was about to collapse in the Lakers in the past six months, looked at the young man who shouted at him on the sidelines in disbelief.

"Can I really run?"

He didn't believe it himself.

He thought the whole world didn't believe it anymore.

Unexpectedly, there is still someone who believes ......

Nash, who closed his eyes, opened his eyes, and a glimmer of hope and a smile appeared on his originally desperate face.

"What a rookie......"

Only a rookie would be so self-righteous, right?

But......

"You're right."

In the past six months of the Lakers, humble Kobe, humble Gasol, humble Artest, humble Howard......

He had almost forgotten.

"I'm the MVP!"

Nash withdrew his gaze and didn't look at Dukang again.

Instead, he looked at Kobe Bryant not far away.

"Bryant!"

Bryant's return was quick and without the slightest hesitation.

After receiving Kobe's return pass, Nash pushed very quickly this time.

Looking at Nash's back, Du Kang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Dwight, what are you doing, run, keep up with Steve!"

Howard, who was trained by Du Kang standing on the sidelines, actually subconsciously wanted to take a long step.

Damn, I was actually trained like this by a rookie head coach?!

And I actually listened!

It's amazing!

Howard looked at Du Kang in shock.

He himself thought it was amazing.

"Dwight, I can't lose this game, you can't lose either, give me a good protection Steve, hold our back, hold up our sky!"

Du Kang slapped Howard the back.

Howard, who was afraid, was excited, and his waist straightened directly.

"Don't worry, tonight's Los Angeles is a no-fly zone!"

Howard said confidently, and quickly followed Nash.

Du Kang, on the other hand, turned around and returned to his coach's seat with a sigh of relief.

Why did the simulated Lakers, Nash's defense be so embarrassed, and they didn't collapse?

Because, Howard in this game, it's different!

"Darwin, are you alright?"

After Du Kang sat down, he looked at Hamm, who was looking at him with a puzzled expression.

Du ...... You ......"

Don't trade for Nash?

Keep believing in Nash?

This...... Are you blind?

In the end, Hamm still held all the words back into his stomach.

Looking at Du Kang on the field again, his right hand was nervously clenched into a fist.

It was his first game in command and he didn't know if the butterfly effect would change the outcome of the match.

He had to prepare for the worst!

Be sure to get the game back on track again!

As long as I get the race back on track, I don't need to panic, I don't need to be nervous!

The Lakers can win!

I can turn positive!

Jim Dawn made the right choice!

……

……

"Lakers, actually holding up again?"

Phil Jackson looked at the Jazz and Lakers on TV once again with surprise on his face.

The rookie didn't change Nash as panicked as he expected.

If he doesn't change Nash, this game will definitely be lost, and he will get out.

With Nash, the Lakers F5 will definitely collapse, and he still has to get out.

At that time, in the face of such a choice, not to mention a rookie, even many famous handsomes would panic.

"This kid ......"

Phil Jackson found that the Lakers' rookie head coach hadn't panicked yet, but he himself panicked first.

This kid is really so strong, his Lakers head coach position, then it is completely gone!

The camera returns to the court again.

After Du Kang's shout, the situation between the Lakers and Jazz returned to parity.

The most eye-catching plot of the young man beating the MVP on the offensive end is still being staged.

MVP Nash was embarrassed by the young Hayward's name.

But because of Howard's hard defense protection, coupled with Hayward's explosiveness and impact is not James after all, he is afraid of Howard's help defense and does not dare to kill to the end, and most of the named Nash chooses to shoot.

Shooting, even if it is an open shot, in the NBA, it is difficult to say that it will definitely score.

After Hayward came on the court, he named Nash 4-of-7, which is actually very good.

However, it was not enough to break down Nash, nor was it enough to break down the Lakers' defense.

On the contrary, after the Lakers' defense stabilized, Howard and Gasol's interior advantage was brought into play.

Half time, 52-52!

Artest received a pass from Kobe Bryant and hit a three-point shot!

The Lakers and Jazz actually tied at halftime!

Such a result stunned the two Van Gundy head coaches on the scene, and also silenced the Lakers fans at the scene.

I didn't know how to treat Du Kang, a rookie head coach, for a while.

"I suddenly found out that this rookie was the head coach of the Lakers, in fact...... It's ok too......"

Even Kobe, who walked behind Du Kang in the player tunnel, had an idea that struck him as strange.

So, after having this strange idea, Kobe Bryant hurriedly shook his head.

And at this moment, Du Kang in front stopped.

"Du ......"

Hamm looked at Dukang with some confusion.

Du Kang turned to look at Kobe Bryant with a smile.

"Bryant, played well in the first half, keep up the good work."

it!

After Du Kang finished speaking, the Lakers players in the player tunnel were dumbfounded.

Everyone looked at Kobe Bryant for the first time, and Kobe, who had a good face just now, instantly turned ugly.

Du Kang, who finished lighting the fire, left directly.

Left behind the shivering Lakers players, the worried Nash, the fiery Kobe, and the secretly happy Howard.

At the corner in front.

"Du, this time, you must be encouraging Kobe, right!"

"No, this time, I was deliberately provoking him."

“……”

At the last moment of the second quarter, Kobe Bryant didn't shoot in the face of the three-person pinch, but passed the ball.

The simulation should be Kobe Bryant's iron, Howard's frontcourt rebound, and Artest.

Obviously, Kobe Bryant found that his coach and teammates played well, but he didn't feel good, so there was no need to go up again.

That's not going to work!

Kobe Bryant has to go up!

The whole game is going to be on the top!

Otherwise, how can it reflect the huge role of him as a head coach!

Ahem.

Nag, no matter how hard it is.

Hamm was dumbfounded as Dukang walked in front of him.

Such a pink rookie head coach, after cutting it, it turned black like this!

No, I don't know, I don't know anything!

I haven't become an NBA head coach yet, I don't want to be killed by Du!

Looking at Du Kang, who was getting farther and farther ahead, Hamm still trembled and followed.

Du is not black, Du is not black, Du is not black at all......
