Chapter 43: Coach D is on fire!
On February 4, 2013, the Lakers' regular season game against the Heat was definitely a game that could go down in NBA history.
The direct dialogue between the two generations of successors in the post-Jordan era, the battle for the handover of the scepter, finally ended with a rookie head coach in the limelight.
LeBron James, who was regarded by the media as the first person in the new league, lost and lost in this big battle, and under the blow of the 'Du Madness' that is now sweeping the United States, he lost to Kobe Bryant single-handedly, and the pupils of death came out, but they were still broken, and then he elbowed Kobe Bryant in anger and was sent off.
The NBA's new two-time MVP had one of the most humiliating games of his career.
And the old king of the NBA, who should have been old, regained his former glory in this game.
The once king team, under the leadership of the young head coach, seems to be about to sprout.
He took over the team after 10 defeats in the last 12 games of the previous head coach, won all the first six games he took over, and led the team to five consecutive wins in the East in the hellish East.
The defending champions were beaten on their home turf and gave the team hope of winning the title again.
At the end of the game, countless incredible Lakers fans around the world were frantically venting their excitement on the Internet.
Du Kang, the new head coach of the Lakers who was not favored by everyone but was signed by the Los Angeles Lakers' prince Jim Buss, got a perfect score on his first exam paper.
Once Ducombne and Jim Bass were the two least popular in Los Angeles.
After the game against the Heat, the Los Angeles Times launched another vote on its official Twitter.
Right now, two of the most popular people in Los Angeles are Dukang and Jim Bass.
Du Kang has 27% support, while Jim Bass has 19% support, far more than the big Hollywood stars such as Jennifer Lawrence and Sandra Bullock.
In the context of the Lakers' away defeat of the Heat, Du Kang and Jim Buss, two people who were once disliked by the whole of Los Angeles, are now popular and have changed from the most disgusted to the favorite.
Such a flip made the traffic and popularity of the two in Los Angeles directly full.
Even in the entire NBA, the popularity of the two is directly full.
According to the magician on Twitter, it is.
"I apologize for my ignorance, I used to think they were idiots, one really dared to give, and the other really dared to take, but now I know, they all have talents far beyond ordinary people, in front of them, I am an idiot, the Lakers are in their hands, I am very relieved."
In short, Du Kang used his six-game winning streak after taking over, and five consecutive away wins in the East after turning positive, and took off directly with Jim Shumi, who supported him.
As a result, he has become the most trafficked head coach in the entire NBA.
And now Dukang has more than just traffic.
After the game between the Lakers and the Heat, many basketball professionals and head coaches on Twitter were full of praise for Du Kang.
Before the game, Du Kang used an interview with an aggressive Miami reporter to provoke a scepter battle for the NBA's first man, and successfully dragged James and the Heat into the water.
In the game, Lakers players such as Kobe Bryant and Yi Jianlian were used to attack James, the tactical core of the Heat, one after another, and the shortcomings of James' own skills and personality were constantly magnified.
thus crushed James' mentality and broke the Heat.
In the end, Du Kang led the Lakers, who were ninth in the West, to defeat the league's No. 1 Heat, successfully punished James, and successfully completed the following grams.
After the game, Du Kang's mentor at UCLA, Ben Holland, was shocked and praised Du Kang on Twitter.
"A conductor that can go down in basketball history, full of incredible creativity and artistry, UCLA and I are proud to have had Du!"
Under Ben Holland's tweet, his disciple Thunder superstar Westbrook, Timberwolves superstar Kevin Love and other NBA stars from UCLA have left messages and likes.
UCLA seems to be big in the NBA, but because it doesn't have a backbone, it doesn't have much power.
And Du Kang seems to have the intention of becoming the co-owner of UCLA's power in the NBA.
He's already established himself as the head coach of the Lakers, and he's qualified.
Moreover, the ability and IQ are sufficient.
From the point of view of James and Spoelstra and Heat fans, the strategy used by Dukang in this game, it was dark.
But for a neutral audience, Du Kang's command of this game is indeed very artistic.
Especially when James elbowed Kobe, Dukang's 'bang!' After being edited, it directly topped the popularity list of YouTube.
There are a bunch of foreigners below, no matter what nationality people are worshipping wildly below.
Handsome, stylish, artistic, mysterious......
In fact, in the United States, Du Kang has a lot of foreign fans because of his unique coaching style.
Let's just say it, although the words are very cruel, Yao Ming's modesty and prudence can only move the Chinese people.
Here abroad, it's good to take Du Kang's mouth.
There are too many fools and not enough liars in the country.
There are too many superstitious people abroad, and there are not enough magic sticks.
Of course, Du Kang never wanted to cast himself into a god.
It's just that at the age of 23, he is so confident that he always can't help but express his confidence on the court, and naturally, he can't help but gain a loyal vote of believers.
Like Du Kang, on YouTube, English praises and loves hard, but Chinese has a lot of scolding, which is actually rare, of course, there are many Chinese YouTube viewers who support Du Kang.
In short, Du Kang's command of the Heat game really made the people on YouTube, whether in Chinese or English, climax.
If Du Kang is the biggest winner in this game between the Lakers and the Heat.
So the question is, who is the biggest loser?
James, of course.
The new league No. 1, No. 1 in the MVP rankings and the NBA's new two-time MVP, was absent from the post-game press conferences of the Heat and Lakers.
A James fan on Twitter, who appeared to be a staff member in the Heat locker room, used a trumpet to frantically scold Du Kang on Twitter, making his beloved brother cry.
Then under this tweet, Kobe Bryant and James fans fought again.
Well, this is the daily life of James fans and Kobe fans, for the sake of their brother, they can't wait to kill each other.
Neither James nor Wade attended the post-game press conference, but Spoelstra took Bosh with him.
In the post-game press conference, Heat head coach Spoelstra graciously praised Dukang.
"Coach D is the most amazing head coach I've ever seen, he's someone I need to learn from, and like you, I can't wait to see what he's going to do in the NBA, and Mr. Riley told me he's going to be one of the greatest coaches in the NBA, and now, I'm convinced."
At the same time, Spoelstra also took the initiative to blame himself for the loss of this game.
"As the head coach of the Heat, the team didn't play at the level of this game, I have to take full responsibility, I shouldn't have let LeBron, who is injured in this game, play, I should have turned down LeBron's request to play, LeBron is a great player, I have a great team, but I'm not a great head coach."
"Erik, how's LeBron's injury?"
Under the disdainful eyes of other reporters, the Miami team reporter picked up the conversation.
"LeBron's groin has been a bit sore lately, and now the team doctor is checking him out, and I hope it's okay."
Under the auspices of the Heat's press officer, Spo and the Heat team reporters sang and harmonized, which found a reason for James.
After getting this new reason, James fans on the Internet exploded in an instant!
"Little Flying Eagles, you have the ability to come to the finals next time and have a good time with my brother!"
"Nima's little flying eagle! Eunuchs, like their masters, have no ability at all, so they will puff their tongues! ”
"My incapable brother was a double MVP last season, and your old Flying Eagle is a zero double MVP!"
"My brother is still a five-time champion!"
"The kind of three second champions?"
"That's better than huddles!"
"The group holding Nima, single-season MVP+FMVP, this is a single core, Xiaofeiying is the thief who steals the sister-in-law's FMVP!"
"Shameless eunuch!"
"Soft egg eagle honey, see you in the finals!"
"See you in the finals, see you in the finals, and then Coach D will cry your master again!"
"The front is O and the back is D, the little flying eagle has a good hand!"
"A good teammate without roots!"
……
……
Do you know why there has been so much excitement among NBA fans in this decade?
The reason is that these two generations of NBA stars are of similar level, and there are so many black spots on their bodies.
There is naturally a lot of fun, no one is convinced, and when it comes to scolding, it is a game and a ruthless, highlighting a viciousness.
Then, all the neutral fans who were watching were happy, and naturally it was indispensable to add fuel to the fire.
Back to the post-game press conference of the Heat and Lakers from the hustle and bustle of the net.
Spoelstra was relieved to have done his job well.
The camera of the pot meeting smoothly focused from Spoo's body to Bosh's body.
In this game, he was empty a lot of times, but his performance was outstanding.
At the very least, this pot shouldn't be distributed to him.
But......
Bosh sighed in his heart and said with a blank face on his face.
"I didn't have a good feeling on the outside in this game, and I couldn't pull Dwight and Yi out for LeBron, so the team couldn't open up space, and in the next game, I will show my strength."
Seeing Bosh review himself like this.
The reporter from Canada at the scene was both cool and distressed.
And the other reporters saw Bosh's heavy appearance and looked down at the data in their hands.
Bosh was 9-of-12 from the field and 4-of-5 from three-point range for 25 points from the field.
Is this called a general feel?
If you don't win all of them in the next game, I'm sorry for your backshit!
In short, the Heat, on their own, want to minimize the damage caused to James in this game through their own efforts.
The reporters present are not human beings, and how can they listen to and believe like some fans.
"I'm afraid this time will be different."
"Coach D was too successful in defending James in this game, even more successful than he was in Popovich's defense in the 2007 Finals!"
"James is going to have a tough game in the future."
……
……
"Coach D, talk about that 'bang!' Tell us honestly, if you know how to do magic! ”
As soon as Dukang was warmly greeted by O'Neill, Barkley and Kenny Smith as he sat down in TNT's makeshift studio, O'Neill couldn't wait to ask the question that all the viewers in front of the TV set were looking forward to.
Dukang didn't answer O'Neal's question, but looked at Barkley with a smile.
"Charles, if it were you, would you have elbowed at that time?"
"Yes!"
Barkley gave O'Neill a disdainful look, then smiled.
"In Darwin shouted 'The Heat can win, James must die!' After that, I definitely couldn't help but want to find the most annoying person to elbow. ”
After Barkley finished speaking, Dukang spread his hands to the dumbfounded O'Neill next to him.
"Shaq, this is magic, magic is the human heart."
Du Kang pointed to the location of his heart.
it!
Doug Reaves in front of the TV admitted that he was loaded by Coach D again!
Barkley and O'Neal, who he hated the most, were teased by Coach D again!
In fact, at this time, many viewers in front of the TV were installed by Du Kang.
Du Kang's answer not only did not disappoint them, but even made people feel that he was more elegant and mysterious.
"Du, can you tell us why you used Jordan's rule to defend LeBron in this game?"
"It's actually very simple, the Heat's reporter told me at the pre-game press conference that LeBron has surpassed Bryant, and I'm curious, so I want to confirm it in this game, and you know the final result."
Du Kang actually said it very tactfully, but as long as there is no problem with IQ, you can hear what it means.
"Didn't you think it might not turn out that way?"
"If our opponent is really a team led by Jordan + Wade + Bosh, no matter how much I think about it, does it make sense?"
“……”
Damn, it makes sense!
If James really surpassed Kobe Bryant and chased Jordan directly, then he really didn't need to think about any results.
Therefore, everyone said that Du Kang's use of Jordan's rule to defend James was a prophecy of magic, and the effect was excellent.
In fact, Du Kang actually has no choice, he can only bet that James is not Kobe Bryant, not Jordan!
Barkley, O'Neal and Kenny Smith looked at each other.
The three of them thought of the same sentence in their hearts at this time.
"That's too smart!"
Every time the three of them interviewed Du Kang, they felt that this young man was extremely magical.
This is Du Kang's second interview with TNT, and he has been interviewed twice in a row so recently, which shows how terrible Du Kang's current traffic is.
And when others are interviewed by TNT, they will be ridiculed by all kinds of stubbornness, but the audience in front of the TV can clearly feel the respect of the three of them for Du Kang.
Maybe every time Du Kang was interviewed by the trio, he would knock them first.
Or maybe they were really impressed by Du Kang's talent.
In short, when Du Kang came, they greeted him from a long distance.
When Du Kang left, the three of them also sent far away under the camera.
"Coach D, thank you for this game for really getting us to know a player."
Du Kang smiled and did not speak.
O'Neill was disappointed.
He dug this pit wittily, and Du Kang didn't jump!
Together, the thick respect in my eyes just now is white!
"Shaq."
"Well, what's wrong with Charles?"
"That smile on Coach D's way away makes you look like a complete clown."
“……”
Seeing O'Neal on TV looking like he was eating a defense, the audience in front of the TV went crazy.
The pre-game, during, and post-game of this game was so exciting!
"This is a game that can be cherished and remembered forever!"
It's just that there must be someone who doesn't want this game to be remembered forever.

"Ding, congratulations on using the bronze random draw card to draw a bronze egg."
Bronze Easter Egg: After use, you can randomly increase the attribute of an editable player (who has a good opinion of you above 80) to 80, and if the random attribute is higher than 80, the original attribute will be maintained.
Gambling on life, and it is a needle in a haystack, Du Kang was a little disappointed, and clicked on it casually.
"Ding, the use is successful, your player Steve Nash's steal has been increased to 80, and the activated training method has been distributed to the training interface, please pay attention to check."
“……”
Du Kang was stunned.
When I came to my senses......
"Hey, Darwin, go buy me a Powerball, forget it, I'll go myself!"
Bang!
The door opens and closes.
Nash, who came to find Du Kang's massage therapy, saw Du Kang rushing out of the room.
"Steve, wait until I come back and take you flying!"
“……”
