Chapter 49: I'm Not Here for Revenge Tonight!

Staples Arena, Los Angeles, 10:30 p.m.

The Lakers and Thunder players were already warming up on the court at this time, and the game was about to begin.

The two teams were very friendly before the game.

Facing Westbrook, a Thunder superstar who has been under a lot of pressure lately, Bryant said that he is one of the most energetic players on the planet, and he doesn't need to listen to anyone, and he can get everything by doing his best.

At the same time, in the face of Du Kang, the Lakers' much-talked-about rookie head coach, Scott Brooks, the head coach of the Thunder as the former representative of the NBA, also gave a very high evaluation.

It means that Du Kang now has all the conditions to become an NBA coach, and what is lacking is just time.

In short, in such a good atmosphere before the game, the players of the two teams also interacted constantly when they warmed up on the court.

On the training court, Durant did not warm up with other Thunder players, but warmed up with Kobe Bryant.

As for the Wei Shao who made Du Kang's mind full of turtles now, Westbrook ......

At this time, he was pouting his stubborn little mouth and was struck there with a clang.

Looking at this stubborn superstar, Du Kang wondered if the quilt would be full of turtles when he slept tonight.

To be reasonable, he has simulated a lot of games, and he has also encountered supergiant opponents like James and Wade.

But if you want to say that the opponent who makes him the most nervous, adrenaline-induced, and unreasonable, it has to be his UCLA senior.

The last eight hours of simulation, Westbrook is going to drive him crazy.

Many Thunder fans say Westbrook can drive their fans crazy.

In Du Kang's opinion, he can also make the opponent fans crazy!!

Dukang withdrew his gaze from Westbrook and then looked back at the Lakers' own players on the court.

Kobe, Artest, Pau Gasol, Howard, Jordan Hill, Clarkson, Chris Duhon, Blake, Meeks......

Except for Nash, who has been protected by him, all of them have been ravaged by the Divine Turtle.

The Laker he created was really just a little bit close, and it was worn by Westbrook alone!

"Du, are you alright?"

Seeing that Du Kang was in a trance at this time, Hamm was a little worried.

Could it be that tonight's game is too late?

How do you feel that Du is a little empty?

"Darwin, I'm not here to avenge me tonight!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

After Du Kang gritted his teeth, he walked back to his coach's seat from the sidelines.

And Hamm behind him, looking at Du Kang's back, trembled.

Am I not here to take revenge tonight?

Fake, with Du's character, is there a difference between this and directly speaking, he is here to take revenge tonight?

By the way, who offended him?

Filled with doubt, Hamm followed.

At this time, the warm-up of the players on both sides on the court was also over, and they came down from the court one after another to make final preparations for the game.

How the Lakers are going to play in this game, Du Kang has explained in the locker room.

With Dukang's current prestige with the Lakers, no one dares to question his decision in the game.

Including Kobe.

Therefore, facing the Lakers players around him, Du Kang sat in his seat with a calm face.

The final tactical coach to the Lakers players was Clifford.

Well, Dukang's instructions in the locker room are more macroscopic, and Clifford needs to be specific and meticulous.

For example, in this game, Nash was the main offense, Nash was more off-ball running, and Lakers players were more covering and supporting Nash without the ball.

So how does Nash run, how does he go around from the inside out, or from the sideline, how does the bottom line turn back, and how does he turn around.

How do Lakers players support and cover Nash, and which support and cover formation to choose?

Finally, how do you pass the ball to Nash, do you wait for Nash to run out of the open space or do you want to get rid of the defense and pass the ball?

In short, just a tactical guide that allows Nash to attack and Nash to run without the ball requires a lot of subdivision tactics to match.

Before getting Clifford's help, Du Kang was a concubine arrangement, relying on the Lakers' players' own comprehension and technical and tactical abilities.

Fortunately, the Lakers players are all veterans, so they can really understand Du Kang's intentions.

If the Lakers are a team dominated by young players, I am afraid that even if Du Kang can simulate victory, he will not be able to accurately convey the simulated tactical arrangements and various designs.

At that time, there may be a butterfly effect in the game, and the game that originally simulated victory will be lost.

Seeing Clifford at this time, Du Kang was very satisfied.

From today onwards, Clifford is four-fifths of his life.

Well, from three-quarters to four-fifths.

Keep up the good work, and the next upgrade target is five out of six.

So, Steve, come on, and strive to one day upgrade to 100% Wolong!

After drawing tactics while telling the Lakers tactics tonight, Clifford looked at Du Kang, who was sitting there with his hands on his chest and a calm face, with a look of hesitation on his face.

In fact, it's not just him, even the Lakers players are hesitant at this time.

Thinking back to Du Kang's abnormality just now, Hamm even wondered if Du Kang was dizzy tonight.

"Du, do you really put Steve against Westbrook tonight and let Bryant defend KD alone?"

Du Kang's offensive tactics arranged in this game will not be talked about first, let's talk about defensive tactics.

Nash defends Westbrook, can Nash defend?

Kobe Bryant defends Durant alone, and he has to play organizational guard, so does Kobe Bryant's offense still need it?

In short, in Clifford's view, Du Kang's arrangement is very amateurish, but any professional head coach in the NBA will not be so messy in this game.

Hearing Clifford ask, Du Kang smiled and did not answer Clifford's question directly, but instead looked at Nash and Kobe.

"Steve, Bryant, what do you guys think?"

Nash and Kobe Bryant were actually excited for a long time.

In the locker room, when Du Kang arranged tactics like this, the two were already excited.

Nash was very touched by Dukang's trust in his defense and letting him defend Westbrook alone.

Perhaps only a coach in this world is willing to give him such a high level of defensive trust.

And Kobe, he actually wanted to have a one-on-one with Durant on the court for a long time.

James is his biggest opponent.

Durant is his favorite young player.

In the last game, he single-handedly killed James, a competitor on the media heads-up list, so if he kills Durant, a competitor on the heads-up list, in this game, then he must be recognized as the No. 1 heads-up in the current team, right?

The victory over James in the last game made Kobe very excited now.

"Coach, I'll work hard in this game!"

"I'm definitely not going to let KD score 30 points in this game!"

Du Kang nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Clifford.

"Steve, you see, Bryant they're very confident."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Clifford wanted to say something for a moment, but didn't know how to speak, and at this moment, Howard next to him stopped him.

"Steve, you are stupid, the coach of this game is obviously trying to embarrass Kobe, what are you meddling!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Howard looked at Du Kang excitedly, because the golden bracer on Du Kang's hand had not been taken off, and he had no intention of giving it to anyone.

In other words, Kobe Bryant has no artifact bonus in this game.

Kobe Bryant, who doesn't have an artifact bonus, what will he use to fight Durant?

A month ago, the old guy was spit up by Durant on both ends of the floor.

If it weren't for the coach being aggressive by that Heat reporter, and finally didn't want to be embarrassed and lent the artifact to Kobe, Kobe Bryant would have been embarrassed when he played against James in the last game!

After holding Clifford in his hands, Howard listened excitedly and intently as Dukang made the final arrangements.

"Regarding the team's overall defense, outside the three-point line, you don't care, the Thunder can do whatever they want outside the three-point line, Dwight, UAE, Mehta, you just need to help defend around the paint area, and the area above the free throw line is handed over to Bryant and Steve."

After Du Kang finished speaking, Howard shouted very loyally.

"Coach, make sure to complete the task!"

Seeing Howard like this, Du Kang smiled and nodded, as if he was very approving.

From the perspective of other players of the Lakers, Howard is a sycophant, the most loyal person to Du Kang in the entire Lakers, and it is no problem to call him Ho Zhongzhong.

Any of Du Kang's orders, Howard is really meticulous and rushed to complete.

In addition, every time they practice, Yellow and Blue have to fight, and Howard has to abuse Kobe Bryant once, which makes many Lakers players actually have the idea of changing their ways and withdrawing.

If it weren't for Kobe's special status in the Lakers, I'm afraid many Lakers players would have switched to Howard now.

Kobe ignored Howard's eyes showing off his relationship with Du Kang, but lightly stretched out his right hand.

"Victory!"

"Victory!"

Although reluctantly, under Dukang's smiling eyes, Howard still stretched out his right hand, like other Lakers players.

If it weren't for the fear that no one would follow him to raise his hand, he would be embarrassed and lose face at that time, he would have wanted to snatch Kobe's privilege a long time ago.

"Hmph, when I become the Lakers leader recognized by everyone with the support of the coach, I see how arrogant you are, if you are willing to be my little brother, just stay in the Lakers, and give you a chance to be Huo someone's little brother, if you don't want to, just be a bastard like O'Neal back then!"

……

……

As the referee on duty threw the basketball in his hand into the air, the game between the Lakers and the Thunder officially began.

Before the game, because Du Kang practiced Nash's defense again, and asked Kobe Bryant to teach children to play basketball, although taken by Du Kang's recent horror reputation, not too many professionals risked slapping their faces to directly mock Du Kang and the Lakers.

But many netizens, especially Miami Heat fans and Boston Celtics fans, have no such scruples.

frantically attacked Du Kang on the Internet, saying that Du Kang won a few games and commanded a few classic games, and then he floated, and he didn't know that he was actually a rookie head coach who didn't even have a tactical system.

If you bet once, you can win, you may win the second time, but it is difficult to say if you bet on the third time.

If you don't stop gambling on this kind of thing, you will definitely go bankrupt and die in the end.

Is it justified for these Miami and Boston fans to attack Dukang?

Of course it makes sense, in fact, most normal fans, neutral fans feel that it makes sense.

Let the 39-year-old Nash practice defense, is this something that a normal person can do? Ordinary fans can't do such a thing, let alone a professional manager.

There is also a way to let Kobe teach children to play basketball, although Kobe is old, but it is not time to retire as an enlightenment coach, right?

Therefore, TNT's team had a very reasonable guess at the pre-match team meeting before the start of the game.

"Coach D is humiliating Kobe, Howard and Kobe can't coexist, Coach D finally chose Howard, and used the way of letting Kobe teach children to hint and satirize Kobe, he really should retire, Zhifun, just after this season, retire in the Lakers, don't be interesting, and want to continue to play in the NBA, then you can only change places."

"As for letting Nash practice defense, this is an option that the Lakers have no choice, Kobe Bryant is the defensive core of the Lakers' outside line, if Kobe really chooses to be humiliated and apply for a trade, the Lakers always need someone to defend, and there are only a few Lakers guards, as the core, Nash, without Kobe's protection, he must need a certain amount of defensive ability."

I have to say that the speculation of TNT Tiantuan has been recognized by many fans.

"We all know what a smart person Coach D is, bullying Kobe, letting Kobe be the enlightenment coach, not allowing Kobe to train, this is letting Kobe, a training maniac, die, with my understanding of Kobe, Kobe will definitely not be able to bear it, you wait, during this year's All-Star Weekend, there will be a big deal that shocks the NBA!"

"In order to get rid of Kobe, in order to make Lakers executives and fans think that Nash is enough to replace Kobe Bryant's position in the Lakers, this game, I predict, Coach D will definitely let Nash defend Westbrook, not Kobe!"

"At the same time, I will let Kobe Bryant defend KD, in the last game between the Lakers and the Thunder, KD deliberately looked for Kobe Bryant to play single, and beat Kobe enough to choke Kobe, if I were Coach D, I would definitely let KD teach and humiliate Kobe!"

"In fact, if the last game between the Lakers and the Heat, if it wasn't for the Heat reporters being too aggressive, Coach D probably wanted James to humiliate Kobe, but in the end, Coach D had no choice but to break James and let Kobe humiliate James!"

O'Neal's words made the entire NBA excited.

What's even more exciting is that after the game started, Ibaka beat Howard with a jump ball and got the Thunder's first attack of the game.

And it's really Nash standing in front of Westbrook!

At the same time, it was not Artest who hugged and fell with Durant and defended Durant closely, it was really Kobe!

"Fack!"

β€œshit!”

"Shaq, you've got it all!"

The first attack of the Thunder and the Lakers, Kenny Smith and Barkley were directly dumbfounded, and even O'Neal himself was stunned.

"Do I have a great prophecy too?!"

And the Lakers fans on the scene were stupid at this time.

Their current favorite Coach D, is really going to do their favorite Kobe Bryant?!

The DJ on the Lakers scene was speechless at this time.

Even Scott Brooks, the head coach of the Thunder, stared at Westbrook and Nash on the court with wide eyes at this time.

Let Nash defend Westbrook one-on-one?

In order to engage Kobe, to help Nash's defense?

"Is Coach D crazy?!"

Coach D wouldn't really be able to rule the NBA with a copy of the Art of War, right?

Judging by Sun Tzu's Art of War, yes, but from a basketball point of view, can Nash replace Kobe?

At the same time, Westbrook on the court looked at Durant, who was haunted by Kobe's death.

He looked at Nash again, who had taken a step ahead of him.

Westbrook didn't hesitate, took a step forward with two consecutive crotch dribbles, directly ignored Nash's defense, and pulled up in front of Nash!

This is Westbrook's standard zombie jumper!

Straight up and straight down, very distinctive, and very interesting.

"Steve, you don't have to move, you can stay still."

"Coach, isn't that right? Stretch out your hand, right? ”

"Whatever you want, anyway, if he dribbles forward, you can step back, don't step forward, let him shoot."

"Understood!"

Thinking back to the coach's instructions in the locker room, in the face of Westbrook's jump so high shot, Nash chose to put his hand on the spot.

Brush it up!

The sound of basketball brushing the net came, and the originally quiet and apprehensive Staples became even more silent.

Wei Shao hit, the live camera was not aimed at Wei Shao, but at Du Kang for the first time!

Well, the NBA's live footage is really going to be.

Looking at Du Kang, who was sitting there smiling calmly on TV, James in front of the TV was really excited!

"Dwyan, you believe that there is retribution in this world!"

A person with such a dirty heart will be buried by his dirty heart sooner or later!

"LeBron, I believe, I believe that there will definitely be justice in this world, there will be violence to counter violence, black to stop black, and cocoon to bind yourself!"

In the Lakers to do Kobe, in order to get Kobe, let Nash defend Westbrook, this person is really crazy!

That's right, countering violence with violence, stopping black with black, and being a cocoon!

James is excited to look forward to this moment!

On the court, diffraction Nash, who beat Staples to the silence, pouted stubbornly, touched his neck arrogantly, and looked at the Lakers bench next to him.

"That's what I say!"

Du Kang was still smiling, as if he hadn't seen it.

Calm down!

I'm not here for revenge tonight!

I'm here to listen to the song tonight!
