Chapter 15: Happily Catch a Bunch of 'Inner Ghosts'!
In order to make a splash in his first game in charge, Du Kang really spent a lot.
The first test of the water simulation took 100MP.
After that, let the nagging strike iron, and simulated three handfuls, which is 300MP again.
In order to get Nash to chase Hayward, Dukang simulated three more shots.
One of these three coincides with Kobe's three, so the cost is 200MP.
In order to make a splash in this game with the Jazz, Du Kang invested a total of 600 MP.
Invested 600MP and gained 688 MP, plus a bunch of coach prestige and team status that the system can't count.
Strictly speaking, this is actually not a loss.
And it's still a big profit.
The reason why it hurts so much now is mainly because he thinks that he should be able to earn more!
"The Lakers have won like this, and the satisfaction rate of the management is only 40%!"
Du Kang didn't know how to complain.
"I can only say that Aunt Jenny is really strong, and Jim Shu is really not playable!"
But think a little about the loss in the last game, the Lakers management was 65% satisfied, and he also thanked Aunt Jenny.
When he was an assistant coach, the Lakers kept losing, and he also had a good MP income, of course he supported Aunt Jenny's rebellion, and felt that Aunt Jenny was a brave man.
Now that he's the head coach and the Lakers are going to win, he thinks Aunt Jenny is the big devil.
Well, that's too true!
It can only be said that the current Lakers are really a 'Yi Seed Cycle'.
The affairs of the Lakers management, he can't manage as a head coach.
There are so many Lakers management, who is who's who, how does he know.
There are only a few Lakers management displayed on the system.
Even he wasn't sure if the chief scout, the chief trainer, the chief assistant coach were management.
But......
"The team wins, and it is such a beautiful win, and the satisfaction rate of the players is only 90%, you can't say that, right?"
The system's player card does not indicate who is the guilty and who is unhappy with the team's win.
However, players who have negative emotions on their player cards must be more suspicious, right?
So, just go straight to the players who have negative emotions.
Du Kang felt that he needed to catch the inner ghost once he liked to see it.
"Wait, what a ghost, I'm such a pink rookie head coach, how can it be so dark, this is called taking everyone to meet the current players of the Lakers!"
According to the ability ranking, the first place is Kobe.
Clicking on the first two pages of Kobe's player card, Du Kang was stunned.
'I'm 'surprised' at what's happening in the team right now.
Opinion of you: 10 (I think you have a deep misunderstanding of me.) )
"This ...... I cheated Lao Ke for a whole time, and Lao Ke's favorability for me actually increased by 110 points? ”
Is it so much up and down?
If he remembers correctly, before the start of this game, Kobe Bryant's favorability rating for him was -100, and I hope he will get out of here, right?
"It's not a real feeling......"
But......
"Doesn't that just show what kind of character Kobe Bryant is?"
"Corvo, I don't misunderstand you."
Du Kang finally smiled and clicked Kobe's player card and looked at the next one.
Dwight Howard.
It is also one of the Lakers players that Du Kang is most looking forward to.
In the game with the Jazz, the chicken soup he made was mainly watered by Howard.
After all, Howard's initial favorability for him is the highest, followed by watering Nash.
Du Kang thinks that maybe Howard will be able to open his heart to him in this game and let him train, uh, no, it should be edited by him!
"I'm looking forward to what is happening in the team right now."
Opinion of you: 79 (You're brave, I like it, go help me kill Kobe, my brave tool!) )
“……”
The expectant smile on Du Kang's face froze in an instant.
After a while, Du Kang, who came back to his senses, was a little crying and laughing.
He thinks too simply.
"Sure enough, it's Howard."
For Howard, the supergiant, Du Kang must have heard of it before.
People who live in the NBA have never heard of Howard?
Many NBA fans know Howard very well.
James fans are the only man in the NBA who has the potential to trade James alone.
Chemie believes that James, who has the help of the referee in a single core, has lost confidence in the strongman who brought talent to Miami.
O'Neal is second in Jim Shu's mind.
Neutral fans are selfish and self-conscious, and they are not willing to be subordinated to problem children.
It is indeed difficult for such a person to open his heart to others.
In this world, not all kindness can be reciprocated.
For this, Du Kang, who grew up in a single-parent family, actually understood it earlier than many people.
"Therefore, Kobe Bryant, who has the lowest initial favorability, is actually easier to attack, and Howard, who has the highest initial favorability, is the one with the most difficult to attack."
It's a bit disappointing, but it's not a loss.
Du Kang smiled and continued to point down.
Nash.
'I'm 'happy' with what's going on in the team now and I'm happy to play for the manager I like.
Opinion of you: 90 (That night, you were the coach of my dreams, and you made me shine my dreams into reality.) )
"The rhetoric of good literature and art is as gorgeous as Nash's style of ball."
Could it be that Nash also dreams of playing a game where defense leads the game?
Du Kang thought about it for a while, and felt that he could understand Nash's dream very well.
Nash has been criticized for defense throughout his career.
Two MVPs who have not been able to get enough respect because of the defense.
led the Suns to be a little close to the championship, and was criticized for being defensive.
Defense, that's the nightmare of Nash's career.
He dreamed of being a player like Kobe, like Jordan, like Payton who could win games on defense.
Defense is Nash's dream, a dream that will never be attainable.
In the last game, Du Kang helped him complete such a dream.
That's why Nash was so out of shape after the game.
"Dreams come true...... What if, no longer a dream? ”
Du Kang looked at his MP at this time, 2600 points.
Well......
"Wait, there's no hurry."
Nash is certainly not an undercover agent.
Du Kang continued to look down.
Gasol.
"I'm 'surprised' by what is happening in the team right now and hopefully I can sign a contract extension right away."
Opinion of you: 60 (I don't think you and Bryant should be like this.) )
Charity for world peace.
"I'm 'amazed' at what's happening with the team right now, and L.A. is really a great place to be."
Opinion of you: 60 (You speak nicely.) )
Gasol and Artest have similar emotions and should be considered positive.
And judging from the performance of the two in the last game, although they are not as active as Howard and Nash, they have also played their strength, and they should not be internal ghosts.
Du Kang continued to point down.
Yi.
"I'm 'excited', 'excited' about everything that's happening right now."
Opinion of you: 90 (I didn't expect to pay so much to sign me.) )
Forehead.
The UAE has not yet joined the team.
The favorability has actually increased by 5 points.
"Is this a self-strategy?"
Because of Yi Jianlian's signing, he and Jim Shu were attacked by the NBA's public opinion.
It is impossible not to know such a big repercussion in China.
The UAE apparently knew.
Naturally, the UAE can't be an internal ghost who is dissatisfied with the Lakers' win.
Du Kang continued to look down.
Looking at it, the smile on Du Kang's face disappeared.
Antoine Jamison
Jordan Hill
Chris Duhon
Yodimix
Steve Blake
Earl Clark
Darius Morris
Devin Ibanks
Robert Secre
It's all ...... Apprehension.
It's just that each has a different point of worry.
Antoine Jamison.
"I feel offended, am I inferior to Earl Clark? Am I inferior to the Chinese Yi? ”
Jamison has a problem with D'Antoni correcting Clarke's failure to correct him.
At the same time, there are also opinions on the arrival of Yi Jianlian.
The team has him, and Du Kang also introduced Yi Jianlian, obviously because he has opinions about him and doesn't trust him.
Among them, Yi Jianlian is new, and Du Kang didn't appear last time.
This shows that he didn't think Yi Jianlian could threaten him before.
Now it's different, Du Kang's status has risen, and Yi Jianlian, who is Du Kang's cronies, will also have a rising status.
Jamison, worried.
The last time Du Kang watched it, Jamison was looking forward to it after D'Antoni left.
Now the expectation has turned into worry.
Jordan Hill.
'I thought I could have gotten more playing time and opportunities and I was ignored.
When D'Antoni left, Jordan Hill was looking forward to it.
Now it becomes a worry.
The reason is that in the last game, he was given 5 minutes of playing time, and he felt that he was not valued by Dukang.
Du Hong......
Meeks ......
Blake......
These people had been expecting D'Antoni when he left, but now they had all turned into worries.
D'Antoni's departure made them feel like they had a chance to get a new opportunity.
In his first game in charge, Dukang paid more attention to the team's star players than D'Antoni, and they had fewer opportunities than they did under D'Antoni.
It's easy to understand how to go from expectation to apprehension.
Du Kang understands them.
Meantime......
He is not a coach like Popovich, and a strong head coach like George Carr can develop tactics for role players, give full play to the abilities of role players, and make every role player feel that he will have a promising future under such a manager.
His current coaching ability is still far from formulating tactics and formulating systems.
He's a chicken soup type of manager right now.
The style of play of the Lakers he coached is all based on the ability of the star players themselves.
Therefore, it is natural that he will pay more attention to star players.
"It's really hard for a role player to shine under me right now."
"Originally, I wanted to catch the inner ghost, but the role players all seem to be internal ghosts, what should I do?"
So, which one or both are internal ghosts?
By the way, the inner ghost is not necessarily Aunt Jenny's person, but it may also be a player who is dissatisfied with the team.
That is, if he can't make the role players see opportunities and see hope, the team will have more and more players who are dissatisfied with him.
At that time, even if he leads the Lakers to win, these role players will be dissatisfied with the victory because they all expect him to leave class early, and it will have a side effect on his MP, right?
And he really can't get all of these role players out of contract.
Even if you change a group of role players, the problem is not solved, it is still not solved.
"It's a bit of a puzzle......"
"So, it's really not that easy to run a team in the NBA."
A clear head coach who can organize an NBA team up and down is a famous coach without exception.
"My current ability is still 108,000 miles away from being a famous handsome."
Name: Du Kang
Position: Acting head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers
Contract: 2 years 200,000 US dollars
MP points: 2600
Offense: D
Defence: E
Player scouting: D
Player training: D
Potential: A+
Du Kang looked at his own abilities again, and instantly gave up on the idea of adding a tactical position to the team for role players.
"We need to find a different way!"
Thinking of Yi Jianlian, who was about to join the team, Du Kang's eyes flickered.
……
……
On January 26, the day after the Lakers and Jazz focus game ended, all major NBA media outlets expressed their views on the game.
The media that used to ridicule Du Kang and Jim Bass is now not talking about the sudden change in painting style, but basically fragmented, talking about him left and right.
These media can not mention Du Kang's performance in the game, but they have reported on the excellent performances of Howard and Gasol, Nash, and Artest.
By the way, a little more black chatter.
As we all know, most of the American media at this time don't like to chat.
And the media that did not mock Du Kang and Jim Bass before the game, now of course, should seize the opportunity to establish their professional and objective image.
And Du Kang and Jim Bass need to be written big.
In their writing, Du Kang, the rookie acting head coach of the Lakers, became the best candidate for the Lakers head coach, and Jim Buss was also blown by them as if Jerry West was possessed.
In short, no matter which media it is, the NBA is being swept by "Du Crazy".
The NBA is sweeping "Du Crazy", Los Angeles as one of the centers of American media, how can Du Kang not feel it.
On the way to the Lakers' training ground in the afternoon, Du Kang was recognized all the way and was released with a smile.
Perhaps, these people who are now releasing kindness are the same people who once insulted him.
Therefore, many people say that the person who is willing to support you unreservedly in adversity is your most precious person.
For example, Jim Silk.
Well, Hamm barely counts.
"Coach D, are you leaving the Lakers?"
"Coach D, are the Lakers unwilling to sign you to a formal contract right away?"
"If I were Jim, I'd definitely turn you right away!"
“……”
Well?
What's going on?
……
……
"Du, are you really leaving the Lakers?!"
Du Kang came to the coach's office at the training ground with a puzzled face, and when Hamm saw his first sentence, he made Du Kang, who was originally blindfolded, even more confused.
"Darwin, what the hell is going on?"
Hamm tossed a bunch of local Los Angeles tabloids into Dukang's hand.
Tabloid?
As a top student at UCLA, Du Kang has always stayed away from this kind of tabloid.
But it has to be said that these tabloids have a very large audience everywhere, and Los Angeles is no exception, and its influence is also very large.
Du Kang glanced at it, and it was all some so-called insiders.
He has already been contacted by an NBA team, and Jim Bass is hesitant to turn him on right away.
Because of the successive failed head coach selections, Jim Bass is under great pressure to select a coach.
This time Jim Bass has the pressure not to fail.
Just saw that he was being rushed to ask for it, of course Du Kang was happy.
But......
"Darwin, do you think that a single game can give me such recognition?"
Want to be recognized for a game?
Isn't that the NBA all superstars!
How can it be so easy in the NBA!
"Du, you mean ......"
"It's a conspiracy, and it's a conspiracy to go against Mr. Jimbass!"
The Lakers' next schedule is the Eastern Conference Five-Straight Away Schedule, Pistons, Nets, Celtics, Bobcats, and Heat.
The Lakers are so difficult to play the Jazz at home, and the schedule of five consecutive away games can be imagined how terrifying.
Jim Shu Huang and he just signed a contract, and the team lost in a row, what should Jim Shu Xiao do?
I heard that Mr. Bass Sr. is not a few days away, maybe it will be this time.
When the time comes, can the heir still let Jim Shu, who has just made a big mistake?
Now Jim Shu's best choice is to wait and see, Du Kang led the team to sign with good results, and if he led the team with bad results, he changed, smoothly transitioned, and smoothly took over the scepter of the Lakers.
However, some people don't want the Lakers to smooth over.
As for who this person is, well, Aunt Jenny, there's no need to hide your name, right?
This ruthless method is the handiwork of Aunt Jenny at first glance.
"I hope Mr. Bass Jr. won't be fooled, Du, you really won't be upset because Mr. Bass Jr. didn't turn you right away, right?"
"How so."
Although he also wanted to turn positive quickly, the coaching of the first game gave him confidence, and he was not in such a hurry.
In the eyes of others, the five-in-a-row is a hellish schedule like devilish pressure.
If you don't turn regular before the five consecutive guests, it is likely that the class will be dismissed after the five consecutive customers.
Therefore, Hamm did not believe that Du Kang's wind was light at this time.
If you miss this opportunity, it may be forever!
Just then, there was a knock on the door of Du Kang's office.
The person who came in was the current general manager of the Lakers, Mitch Kupchak.
Kupchak's face was complicated, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Du Kang was also complicated.
"Du, come with me to Jim's office."
"Mickey, what's the matter?"
Hamm asked worriedly.
"Sign the contract, sign the contract."
What?!
Du Kang's face was shocked.
He...... chose to carry all the pressure on his back......
……
……
"Jim, is that okay?"
"I identified him, and I didn't want him to be upset."
……
……
"Jenny, good news, Jim really sent out the regular contract, that rookie, really couldn't resist the temptation to sign!"
"Hehe, no matter how good the relationship is, it can't withstand the temptation of interests."
Jeanie Bass smiled disdainfully.
In the last game, Du Kang and Jim Bass looked like confidants, which disgusted her.
If it was a confidant, Du Kang should have rejected this contract now.
This contract is very likely to make Jim lose his inheritance!
"Five in a row in the East, the Lakers must not let me down."
Looking at the smile on Jeanie Buss's face, the assistant shuddered.
It's too vicious.
How many birds are killed with one stone?
He couldn't even count them......
Now you know why most of the Lakers management is backing Jenny.
Jim, I really can't fight her......
……
……
"Du, you, know that this is a conspiracy against Mr. Bass Jr., why do you still sign?!"
"Hamm, what if five in a row and five wins in a row?"
What?!
If the Lakers win five in a row next, Du and Jim will be gods together!
But, is this possible?
……
……
