Chapter 42: Kobe Bryant's Friendship and New Rewards!
James's sudden malicious foul on Kobe, it stands to reason that the most concerned at this time should be James, who committed the evil offense.
But actually, just said 'Bang! Du Kang has become the biggest focus, perhaps more than James.
"Shaq, what do you think of Coach D's 'bang!' just now?"
"Coach D had already predicted that James would do something to Kobe!"
"I even have reasonable doubts that Coach D has long predicted that Kobe's state will be very good in this game, and even China's Yi is in good shape, so he will be so crazy about James in this game!"
"Is it the Art of War again? Coach D predicted all this based on Sun Tzu's Art of War? ”
"I think maybe Coach D may really know China's great prophecy and gossip!"
"Charles, if you can have an IQ of 50, you won't make such a guess!"
"I have a hunch that the sales of Sun Tzu's Art of War in the United States will go to a new level, and maybe Sun Tzu should support Coach D for some royalties."
"Shaq, I guess Coach D definitely doesn't want to receive the copyright fee from his grandson, hahahaha......"
For a while, the three commentators began to discuss what Du Kang was going on just now.
Even Celtics head coach Doug Reaves in front of the TV is now watching the Art of War in his hands while watching TV.
This hardcover version of Sun Tzu's Art of War, the more he reads it, the more he likes it.
The only minor problem is ......
He liked this book very much, but he didn't understand the content of the book.
……
……
On the sidelines, the three of TNT's laughter and laughter commentators were really joyful at this time.
But on the court, James couldn't really laugh.
He really didn't want to elbow Kobe.
In this game, he made 3 of 12 and 2 of 3 free throws, and only scored 9 points and 4 assists.
"My record for consecutive double-doubles!"
James really cried when he thought about this record that had lasted for almost 500 games.
Is it easy for me to TM?
The average NBA supergiant doesn't care about his record of consecutive double-doubles, or rather, who do you hear Jordan, Magic, Abdul-Jabbar talk about his stats.
Supergiant, is it an honorable thing to score a double?
Super giant, scoring 30 points in a single game, it's not glorious, it's just a normal performance, right?
may be because James's IQ is indeed relatively high, so he remembers some of his bits and pieces of data and records very clearly.
Therefore, James naturally has a lot more to cherish and protect than other supergiants.
It's true that the pressure and burden of the game is a bit heavier.
Now the data and records that have been cherished and guarded for so many years are gone.
It's so uncomfortable!
This feeling is like those cloud coaches who play FM Football Manager, who have been unbeaten in 37 games at the end of the season, and are about to achieve the unbeaten achievement of the season in the last unbeaten game, and the opponent is still a fish belly.
But in the last game, Nima's was collapsed by the system bureau.
It's sour, I can't wait to smash the computer angrily, it's too uncomfortable.
That's how James feels at this point.
James must be much more uncomfortable, Coach Yun is undefeated in the season, and he can continue to pursue it when he is in a good mood the next day.
James's 500-game scoring streak and 1,000 consecutive scoring double-doubles in the future are gone, and then his entire career may be gone.
On the court, elbowed Kobe Bryant, and James, who was sent off the court by the referee on duty, was comforted by Wade and the Heat players, and under the silence of the Heat fans in the audience, he left the court with his jersey covering his face in loneliness and disappointment.
The blow was too big and uncomfortable, so that he couldn't even take care of the etiquette that he usually paid great attention to.
Instead of hugging Spoelstra who came over, throwing away the towels sent by the caddy, and ignoring the encouragement of the Heat fans on both sides of the tunnel in the player tunnel, he walked into the players' tunnel in such a frustrated, uncomfortable, and angry manner, and walked into the locker room in the surprised and surprised eyes of the world's audience.
A player of James's level, if he is punished, he will definitely be watched by the whole world.
Seriously, in this basketball Spring Festival Gala game, which the entire basketball world is watching, James' performance disappointed everyone.
"This is the first person in the NBA league? How do I look at that Chinese Yi is more like the first person in the NBA than James? ”
"This is the person who the American media collectively boasted of surpassing Kobe Bryant and chasing Jordan? When Kobe Bryant and Jordan faced Jordan's rule, couldn't they even score points? ”
"Isn't James the most emotionally intelligent player in the NBA? Ignore teammates, coaches, fans if you don't perform well? Is this called high emotional intelligence? ”
"Isn't James the cleanest player in the NBA? After going up, don't you love elbows like Kobe, and you're not much better than Kobe? ”
……
……
To be reasonable, at this time, on basketball online forums around the world, it is really like crazy.
For example, at China's self-proclaimed most professional basketball forum, the Commies went crazy, the neutral fans went crazy, and the James were trembling.
"Coach Xiao Du ripped off James's pants in one game, Coach Xiao Du is too dark!"
"Coach Xiao Du, can this be called black? This is called strong, Coach Xiao Du is too strong, well, it's just a little grudge. ”
"Before the game, the reporter with the team had to mess around in front of Coach Xiao Du, now I know that I was wrong, I regret it, didn't you surpass Kobe and chase Jordan, then use someone else's way to defend Kobe Bryant and Jordan to defend James, and let the world see James's quality!"
"Coach Xiao Du is indeed talented, very talented, using the way others defend Kobe and Jordan to defend James, how can he come up with such creative attention!"
"In terms of Coach Xiao Du's defensive effect on James in this game, I estimate that James will be uncomfortable in the future, and the way Popovich invented to defend James will be replaced!"
"As a spur fan, I admit that James can have the current momentum in the NBA, ignoring Duncan, surpassing Kobe, chasing Jordan, Bobo is half responsible, he has created an unprecedented good environment for James in 6 years, and every supergiant wants to cry when he sees it!"
"The new fan weakly asked, who is responsible for the other half?"
"Godfather, of course! I'm afraid that my godfather's three-god costume will be sent again! ”
"Godfather loves No. 23 of that Cavaliers, not No. 6 of the Heat!"
……
……
In Ah Po, Comi and neutral fans are simply binge.
Especially Comi, some time ago, my department was crazy about iron, and the James were laughing crazy, Black Mamba? That's it?
I didn't expect the feng shui to take turns so quickly, it's only been a few days, and it's Jamie's turn to tremble.
"If you want me to say, no one can cure it, and no one dares to cure Kemi and Zhanmi, and Coach Xiao Du can cure it!"
"Hahahaha, in the NBA, Coach Xiao Du also obeyed Kobe Bryant and James."
……
……
Back to the game.
By this time, his teammates had pulled Bryant up from the ground.
Kobe, who was pulled up, looked at the golden bracer on his wrist that had just protected him, and Kobe's heart was beating wildly.
Isn't this magic too much?
What Kobe didn't notice at this time was that he had been stroking this particular golden bracer in this game, and the Lakers players were not blind, so how could they not notice.
I didn't see Howard looking at the golden bracer in Kobe's hand now, and his eyes were going crazy.
If it weren't for the timidity, I would have knocked down Kobe Bryant with a punch and snatched this golden bracer.
"Only great beasts deserve to have such an offensive and defensive artifact!"
Even Nash, who has always been indifferent, can't look at this bracer at this time.
He wasn't a starter, but he sat on the bench and watched the coach hand over the golden bracer to Kobe.
In fact, in addition to the other four starters in this game, the Lakers bench players all know who the owner of this golden bracer is.
Considering Kobe's performance in the previous five games, and then linking Kobe's performance in this game, you say, which Lakers player is not greedy?
The reasons for Nash's and Howard's eye fever are definitely different.
Nash hopes that this magical bracer will give him defense so he doesn't have to worry about his defense holding the team back.
"This is what the coach lent to Kobe, and he can lend it to me in the future, and there is still a chance!"
At this time, except for Howard, who wants to grab it for himself, most of the other Lakers players on and off the court have this idea.
And almost at the same time, Du Kang's system interface appeared a series of prompts to improve the player's favorability.
Well, although no one broke through 80, after this wave, all Lakers players have a favorability of more than 60 for him, and most players have a favorability of more than 70 for him.
"Where is this golden bracer, this is the carrot in front of the donkey!"
Train the players as donkeys.
It's a shame that the coach can figure it out!
Du's heart is really not ordinary black!
Clifford, who was next to Du Kang, complained in his heart.
Well?
Du Kang looked at it with kind eyes, and Clifford immediately sat upright, no longer daring to complain about Du Kang's black heart, but looked at Du Kang with a serious face and said.
"Du, you are the NBA head coach who cares about the players and loves the players I have ever met."
"Huh? Steve, am I as good as you say? ”
"You're even better than I say!"
it!
Looking at the happy Dukang and the serious Clifford, Ham was stunned.
He really didn't expect Clifford, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes, to be so disgusting!
"Darwin, do you have any comments?"
"Du, I don't think what Steve said is right!"
"Oh?"
Du Kang's face instantly darkened.
"I think Steve still has too few managers to meet, even those he hasn't seen, you're the best!"
“……”
This time it was Steve Clifford's turn to be dumbfounded.
This idiot, suddenly enlightened?!
"Ahem, it's over, it's over, I'm still far away."
Du Kang looked at Hamm, who was also sitting at this time, with satisfaction, and said modestly.
"I'm glad you can tell me the truth in front of me, but I don't like the way you just spoke, it's too pompous."
“……”
Is it us who are pompous?
……
……
Compared with the laughter and relaxed atmosphere on the Lakers' bench, the Heat's bench not far away is really a wail.
James is the core of the Heat's offensive and defensive tactics, and before the half of the game was played, James, the core, was sent off.
It's not just morale, it's also the team's tactical system.
Spoelstra was really going to cry at this point.
The Lakers' rookie head coach who was praised by the teacher is really strong!
Teacher Pat Riley's eyes are really as ruthless as ever.
In this game, whether it was before the game or during the game, he, the champion head coach of the Heat, could be said to be a complete defeat.
I lost and I didn't even have the underwear.
Not even the power to resist is gone.
James has been sent off, how else can he resist?
Spoelstra is a very smart and capable manager.
He is indeed the tethered dog coach next to the Big Three now.
But his ability can actually be a person.
When the Big Three were first formed, the Heat started with 9 wins and 8 defeats, James wanted to use such a start to kill him, in the face of the menacing James, Spoelstra decisively showed weakness, what do you say, you bully me, I don't fight back, I don't fight back, I don't fight back, I don't fight back, I don't have to laugh.
In the end, Spoelstra's wave of operations successfully won Pat Riley's sympathy, after all, he was his dear little apprentice, so pitiful, could he bear to fire him again?
And James, who hit the cotton with his fist, couldn't help it in the end, Pat Riley said so, what could he do.
It can only be said that although James is smart, he still doesn't have enough Gong Dou level and is too ruthless.
On the other hand, Spo, the head coach, don't look like he is being bullied all day long and is about to cry, but he is actually very capable, and Pat Riley's closed disciples are incapable, that's a joke.
After James was sent off, he really worked very hard.
But helplessly, James is too important to the Heat.
The loss of the tactical core on both offensive and defensive ends was compounded by low morale.
Although he is already trying his best to redeem it.
But it was still defeated at home by the morale-blasting Los Angeles Lakers at home.
It can only be said that in this game, the performance of the Lakers players was too explosive.
By the end of the half, Bryant had already scored 20 points.
With 2 minutes left in the third quarter, Yi Jianlian's score also went up to 20.
With 3 minutes left in the fourth quarter, Howard's blocks had reached 5, and he had 20 points, 18 rebounds and 5 blocks in the game.
Although Wade himself unstoppably scored 40 points in the whole game, he couldn't connect the rest of the Heat.
In the end, the Lakers defeated the Heat 116-109 on the road.
At the end of the game, when the final score was played, many Lakers fans in the scene cried with joy.
Who would have thought that with the devil-like five consecutive Eastern Conference visitors, the Lakers would actually end up with five consecutive wins.
In the end, they defeated the strongest defending champions at the home of the defending champions.
"Jim, we won, we beat the Heat in Miami!"
Beating the Heat in Miami and winning all five in a row in the East is really perfect!
Looking at the young head coach of the Lakers who hugged the Lakers players on TV, Jim Shu also had a smile on his cold face.
Not only did he never disappoint, but he was simply pleasantly surprised!
"Jim, maybe we can really win the championship this year!"
Overall champion?
Can you surprise me more?
……
……
"It was a great performance tonight, Bryant."
"Thank you, your command is even better, coach, I'm sweating a lot and it's a little uncomfortable, I'm going to take a shower first."
After hugging Du Kang, the witty Kobe Bryant was about to sneak away.
it!
This old thing wants to give away the coach's artifact!
If it weren't for Cliffordra, Howard would have fired directly at Kobe.
No matter how timid he is, he can't bear it at this time, and this will be an exclusive artifact that belongs to him, the future Lakers boss!
However, Du Kang didn't need Howard and other Lakers players to make a move, so he smiled and pressed Kobe Bryant, who wanted to escape.
"Bryant, have you forgotten something?"
In the end, Kobe Bryant could only reluctantly take off the golden bracer carefully and hand it to Du Kang.
"Coach, you really can't give it to me?"
Under the eyes of all the Lakers players, Du Kang smiled and looked at the names of the 15 Lakers players on his wrist.
"This is the source of my magic, the source of victory, and it allows me to grant anything I want."
it!
Coach, it's okay, don't blow it, blow it again, this carrot is going to be fine!
Clifford complained frantically in his heart where Dukang couldn't see.
Just seeing the extremely greedy look in Howard's eyes at this time, and the eager gaze of the Lakers players, Clifford was stunned.
Clifford, who thought of something, suddenly looked back at the score of this game, 116-109!
Damn, the coach originally wanted to inspire Lakers players to hope for a championship!
Meanwhile.
The three TNT commentators on the scene were shouting passionately.
"Congratulations to Coach D, a perfect victory, the sixth of his coaching career, and he is still the only undefeated head coach in the NBA!"
"Congratulations to the Los Angeles Lakers, who won five in a row in the East and defeated the defending champions, they really see the hope of competing for the championship, although the hope is still weak!"
"Please also look forward to our second interview with Coach D in the future, don't go away!"
……
……
"Ding, your player Kobe Bryant has a good opinion of you at 80, please pay attention to check."
"Ding, your player Antoine Jamison has reached 80 favorites for you, please pay attention to check."
"Ding, your player Chris Dujon has reached 80 opinion of you, please pay attention to check."
Kobe Bryant and two veterans who came to the Lakers to huddle, the favorability has finally broken through!
It doesn't have to be a champion!
Champion hopes, too!
"Ding, congratulations on completing a five-game winning streak in your coaching career, completing the achievement '1 in a winning streak', and rewarding a random lottery card for bronze items."
Oh?
OK.
Seeing the satisfied smile on Du Kang's face at this time.
Clifford trembled with fear.
My boss is as smart as a goblin!
What to do, it's scared to death!
