"Coach Xiao Du, when we heard that you became the head coach of the Lakers, we were ready to come over immediately, in order to be able to introduce your first-hand information to China, we have advanced the premiere time of "Frontline" originally scheduled for February 21."

"Thank you CCTV for your love, and thank you Teacher Zhang for coming all the way over, I will do this cup first, you are free."

At noon on February 3, 2013, at a Chinese restaurant in Miami, Du Kang entertained and entertained a group of CCTV.

They're here to take Miami this morning.

After coming to Miami, he took the initiative to find Du Kang very enthusiastically.

Du Kang was of course very happy to be able to meet CCTV and his party.

Mr. Zhang is a person he likes very much, he is kind and speaks well, and he is still a famous diehard fan of the Lakers.

Well, it should be a famous die-hard fan of Kobe, and domestic fans gave him the nickname, Weiping Bryant.

It's all a joke ahead.

"Yesterday's game between the Lakers and the Celtics, we watched it in the hotel, I really didn't expect you to use the United Arab Emirates, Nash, Howard, Kobe Bryant in the game, take the initiative to make the ball for the United Arab Emirates, and let the United Arab Emirates be the main offense of the Lakers, we were really worried that if the United Arab Emirates did not perform well, what would you do!"

After half a tour of wine, when it comes to emotion, Mr. Zhang really looks concerned, and it is touching to watch.

"The Lakers invited the United Arab Emirates to come, not to let the United Arab Emirates be the mascot, he has the ability and is also suitable for the Lakers, we have to go far this season, the United Arab Emirates is very important, so we are desperate to build the confidence of the United Arab Emirates, and there is no team more suitable to find confidence for the United Arab Emirates than Garnett's Celtics."

In order to win, in order for the UAE to be able to brush up on good data, before Du Kang played the Celtics, with Yi Jianlian as the first main attacker, he simulated three handfuls, and finally got lucky, and the third one showed the result he wanted.

If the third one didn't simulate a good result, Du Kang would probably burst into tears at that time.

In fact, after the first two UAE were choked by Celtic and Garnett, Du Kang really exploded when simulating the third one.

Well, it's Howard who scolds the free-throw shot.

The game was scorching, Rivers slashed the sharks, and the Lakers lost.

However, Du Kang's embarrassment and apprehension at that time were known only to him, and no one else would have been able to know.

All others saw was the super handsome and stylish Lakers Oriental aristocracy and godfather-type head coach who was sitting on the sidelines with his legs crossed, accompanied by Kobe, and smiling at the two teams on the court.

What is super handsome, super stylish, super temperamental, super imposing, oriental aristocrat, godfather-type coach......

There are a lot of adjectives, but these are all praised by others, not by himself.

"In the end, the result proved that I was not wrong, and the performance of the UAE was worthy of everyone's expectations, which shocked the NBA and restored confidence."

After Du Kang finished speaking, Mr. Zhang had already given Du Kang a thumbs up.

"The artist is bold, Coach Xiao Du is really bold!"

After Mr. Zhang Li finished praising it, the little round-faced cute beauty next to her squid girl looked at Du Kang drunkenly, her eyes were confused.

Young, golden, good temperament, and a little handsome, this is also too perfect, the perfect diamond Du Lao Wu!

"Coach Xiao Du is now the idol of thousands of people."

"Sister Liu is really joking, what idols are not idols, hehe, my sons are five years old."

“……”

Sister Liu?

Is my son five years old?

The squid girl's eyes, which were still leaking electricity just now, are already stunned at the moment.

When other CCTV personnel next to them saw this scene, they secretly admired it in their hearts.

Coach Xiao Du is too straight!

That's not a hint just now, it's already an explicit one.

"Coach Xiao Du is only 23 years old now, right? The child is actually five years old? ”

Soon, Mr. Zhang thought of something.

Du Kang's resume is that he did not take the college entrance examination!

And it was the third year of high school and I dropped out of school last semester.

The child is five years old and drops out of high school......

In many high schools in China, early love has to be broken up.

If the child gets out, in order to set an example, both must be expelled, unless someone takes the initiative to take responsibility.

Either way, you're definitely going to drop out.

This is the time to witness the feelings.

Du Kang sacrificed his future for that girl at that time.

"Coach Xiao Du has been very responsible since he was a child."

Teacher Zhang sighed from the bottom of his heart.

"Where, if you are careless, you can't withstand the temptation, and you almost made a big mistake."

"Hahahaha, I want to see who even Coach Xiao Du can't help but make a big mistake now, come, Coach Xiao Du, I toast you."

"Coach Xiao Du, I also toast you, I just admire a steel man like Coach Xiao Du, a real man!"

For a while, the guests and hosts were happy.

Only the squid sister was secretly sad.

Listen, that's not the sound of a cup.

It was the sound of a broken heart.

……

……

The CCTV group did not wait for him in Los Angeles, and ran directly to Miami, definitely not looking for him to drink.

The column of "Frontline" hopes to record the NBA Spring Festival Gala battle between the Lakers and the Heat, and CCTV hopes to give him an exclusive interview after this battle.

"Coach Xiao Du, you can be as you are usually, you don't need to accommodate us, just when we don't exist."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your understanding."

"Coach Xiao Du is not at all like when he directs the game on the sidelines, he is modest and polite."

"Where, where, the leader has been awarded."

It's as if I'm not being humble and polite when directing a game.

After Du Kang and the CCTV team finished lunch, they took everyone back to the Lakers' home, the stadium of the University of Miami Whirlwinds.

Tomorrow is the big game against the Miami Heat, and the Lakers players who just beat the Celtics are very scrappy.

Warm-up sessions were done under the team's assistant coaches Darvin Ham and Clifford and head trainer Gariverti.

The Lakers' stars all had a look of surprise on their faces when they saw Du Kang walk into the training gym with a group of Asian-looking people.

In addition to Yi Jianlian, among them, Kobe, Howard, Nash, Gasol, Artest and other star players of the Lakers team can obviously recognize Mr. Zhang, the leader of this line.

Mr. Zhang is also an old forward reporter in the NBA.

He has basically interviewed these Lakers stars, so he naturally knows them.

Therefore, there was no need for Du Kang's introduction at all, and Mr. Zhang soon took CCTV and his party to interview the Lakers team in the training hall like a fish in water.

Except for the United Arab Emirates, none of the other Lakers players refused to be interviewed by Mr. Zhang and CCTV.

As for why only the UAE refused......

"Teacher Zhang, I want to complete the task assigned by the coach to hit 1,000 mid-range shots today, and the time is very tight."

"Hit 1,000 mid-range shots?"

"It's a personal training assignment set for me by the coach."

"Does Coach Xiao Du want you to finish it today?"

"No, I wish I could finish it today, so that I can help the coach sooner."

Teacher Zhang nodded unconsciously, as if you have completed the training task, your strength will definitely become stronger.

Coach Xiao Du really has Barkley and they are so godly, so Chinese basketball can't go to heaven!

However, in the end, Mr. Zhang took the CCTV film crew to shoot Yi Jianlian's training and did not disturb the UAE again.

With the arrival of CCTV and his party, the most enthusiastic among the stars of the Lakers team is, of course, Lakers superstar center Howard.

Because Du Kang didn't train to develop a tactical system for the team, and there was no special tactical training, a player like Howard with little personal training was idle.

Other people shoot drills, do you want Howard to shoot with peace of mind?

Kobe Bryant can hit 1,000 in a day, and you let Howard hit 1,000 in a day, isn't that killing him?

You make Howard 100 a day, and he'll feel like he's killing him.

In order not to make himself unhappy, Howard is usually half-hearted when he practices free throws and shoots, basically playing.

The Lakers' five stars, Nash and Artest, are training with the UAE.

Kobe Bryant and Gasol were doing shooting and offensive and defensive exercises, but Howard was nothing.

Regarding Howard's current idle fart, Du Kang also turned a blind eye and didn't care.

As long as Howard can perform all his tasks, he is not Howard's father, so he can do anything.

Even if it's a father, he has a lot of care, and it's annoying to be a son.

So far, Howard has carried out his mission perfectly, and he can't fault anything.

After warm-up and individual workouts, the Lakers' next training session is the usual yellow-blue matchup.

It is still a group of Kobe, Gasol, Artest and others, and a group of Howard, Nash and Yi Jianlian.

The Lakers' yellow-blue confrontation is already familiar to Lakers players and coaches.

But Dukang's execution of this yellow-blue confrontation once again surprised the Lakers players and coaches.

The players were surprised because Gasol had already relented in the last game.

Du Kang let Yi Jianlian start, Gasol substituted, Gasol did not make trouble, and even showed very hard work when Yi Jianlian was not on the second quarter, which is already soft for an NBA star.

"Isn't that enough? Do you really want Gasol to say in person that he should not start and concentrate on the bench? ”

"Is it possible that the coach wasn't actually targeting Gasol?"

"Very likely!"

The Lakers players now have some understanding of Dukang's character, and he is not the reckless man of D'Antoni who does not give face to the players.

Gasol's softness in the last game was certainly enough.

So the only explanation is that this yellow-blue confrontation may not be directed at Gasol, at least, not all against Gasol?

Who is that for?

Naturally, it speaks for itself.

Bryant!

For a while, everyone's eyes were on Kobe.

Even the Lakers' two assistant coaches, Ham and Clifford, are the same.

Being watched by everyone, Kobe Bryant was expressionless.

Howard was unusually excited and open.

"Kobe Bryant was actually soft in the last game, and he took the initiative to be reasonable......"

Clifford whispered to Howard.

"The coach must think that it is not enough, Kobe Bryant needs to say it in person to give me the position of the team leader!"

Is that really the case?

Clifford, who has always prided himself as smart, is also confused at this time.

He thought the coach was standing on the third floor, but in fact, could it be the fourth layer?

looked at Howard, who was extremely excited at this time.

looked at Howard, who was looking forward to being able to abuse Kobe Bryant right away.

Seeing that he had no intention of leaving the Lakers at this time, Howard who was bent on performing well, killing Kobe Bryant on the court and training ground.

Clifford's witty braincase suddenly had a flash of inspiration!

Fack!

The coach was actually targeting Dwight!

This, this, this......

Clifford was already dumbfounded by the idea.

The coach's yellow-blue confrontation is to stabilize Dwight!

Give Dwight confidence!

Give Dwight hope!

To Dwight Liwei!

Let Kobe Bryant keep losing to Dwight, with Dwight's character, he can definitely gain self-confidence, feel hope, and build prestige with the Lakers.

Naturally, he will do his best for the Lakers, because he feels that this is already his team!

Dwight has been stabilized!

These days, Howard almost never says anything to him about regretting coming to the Lakers and leaving next season.

In the past few years, he has never seen Howard who worked so hard, worked so hard, and was so team in the game!

Dwight, he, has been unknowingly pinched by the coach!

"That's why Gasol and Kobe Bryant have softened, and the coach still has to play a yellow-blue confrontation!"

You think you're cultivating Nash and Yi Jianlian, Howard's run-and-gun tacit understanding, this is the first layer.

You think it's banging on Gasol, it's the second layer.

You think it's knocking Kobe Bryant, it's the third layer.

In fact, the coach's ultimate goal is to stabilize Dwight, and the coach is actually standing on the fourth floor!

Wait a minute?

Is the coach really just standing on the fourth floor?

Could it be the fifth layer that he didn't expect?

Or even the atmosphere?

Clifford thought there in a daze, the more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became, and cold sweat had begun to break out on his back.

He, Howard's brain, has only now found out!

It's scary!

"Steve, are you alright?"

Dukang withdrew his gaze from the training ground and squinted, as if looking at Steve Clifford next to him with concern.

On the surface, he is his assistant, but in fact, he is Howard's confidant.

A very smart white coach.

is also loyal to Howard, and he has taken great pains.

"Steve?"

"Ah, I'm fine, only, just thinking about something."

"Really?"

Du Kang smiled and continued noncommittally.

"You, sometimes you just think too much, you see Darwin, you don't think about anything but complete my tasks, how happy you are every day."

“……”

Steve Clifford's mouth opened wide and he couldn't say anything for a moment.

In the afterglow, the stupid big man with a thicker and thicker neck really eats and sleeps well every day, and looks very happy and happy.

"Steve, you don't want to be just an assistant coach for the rest of your life, do you?"

“……”

Looking at the smile on Du Kang's face.

Clifford struggled to close his eyes.

By the time he opened his eyes again, he had already made a decision.

"Coach, you're right."

He has been a player nanny for almost 10 years.

Really, I'm tired of it.

Dwight, I'm sorry......

"Steve, Mr. Jim Bass and I are not bad people, and perhaps the path we are leading is brighter."

The guilty Steve Clifford was stunned for a moment, and then a relieved smile appeared on his face.

Clifford looked at the killer beast on the pitch and nodded.

"You're right."

Dwight is really happy right now.

So, does it still matter to bring painful truths?

……

……

It's a good thing to be able to take Clifford in check.

Clifford is Yao Ming's mentor and also trained Howard, who is also smart and capable, and is more reliable than Hamm at first glance.

In many cases, it can help him to avoid detours and save MP.

Hamm is really useless in this regard, after all, he is a rookie coach like him.

Clifford followed Van Gundy Jr. and Van Gundy Jr. for many years.

Van Gundy Jr. is good at defense, and Van Gundy Jr. is good at offense, so Clifford must be far better than him and Hamm in terms of ability.

"By the way, Steve, what do you think we should do to beat the Miami Heat in the next game?"

Du Kang asked expectantly.

"Beat the Miami Heat? Coach, why do you have such an idea? ”

“……”

Du Kang opened his mouth wide, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Suddenly, Dukang sensed Hamm's merits.

Hamm turned out to be really not worthless......

When Hamm heard him ask this, he would never ask such a rhetorical question, and he would give him one or two useless ideas.

Du Kang sighed in his heart.

It's too smart, and sometimes it doesn't seem that good.
