Chapter 57: Coach D Who Almost Collapsed!
Because in the Lakers' training gym, Du Kang noticed the strange movements of some of the team's staff, so Du Kang, who originally planned not to simulate the game with the Pelicans, chose to simulate the game.
It doesn't matter if it's not a simulation, a simulation really scared Du Kang to pee. Originally, Du Kang thought that the Pelicans, who are now 16-33, even if Nash and Kobe Bryant are suspended, the Lakers, who have good morale, should also have an advantage in strength, plus home court advantage, the possibility of losing is not great.
The Lakers have Howard, Yi Jianlian, Gasol, Artest, and Antoine Jamison.
Except that Antoine Jamison is 79 stats. The Lakers also have four players with an ability rating of 80 or higher.
It stands to reason that it should be no problem to catch a pelican that is just a mess. Who knows, this time, the Pelicans made Du Kang and his Lakers face.
117 to 97, this is the score of the first simulation. In this simulated game, Howard was 9 of 13 and 6 of 11 free throws, cutting 24 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, Yi Jianlian was 5 of 11 and 0 of 3 three-pointers, and he had 12 points and 6 rebounds, Jamison was 6 of 14, 16 points and 7 rebounds, Gasol was 1 of 4, 5 of 8 free throws, 7 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, Artest was 1 of 8, 1 of 6 three-pointers, 3 points.
The Lakers' group of star players who have high hopes for Du Kang are playing like a defense. Except for Howard, the others were overturned by Pelicans guard Eric Gordon.
Because of the lack of Kobe and Nash, the Lakers, who are already short of guards, lack guards, lack of organization, and lack of speed.
And the agile Eric Gordon made the scalp of the Los Angeles Lakers show tingle, and no one could stop it. The three-pointers of 6 of 8 in the game meant that the Lakers had no one to defend at all, and even if they could follow Meeks and Blake, it didn't make any sense to go out.
And then the Pelicans have the likes of Robin Lopez and Anthony Davis on the inside. Robin Lopez was 7-of-10 in this game, scoring 16 points and 9 rebounds, including 6 rebounds in the frontcourt, which can be said to have blown Howard out.
There is also Anthony Davis, who is very capable of sweeping, the Lakers originally lacked the speed of guards to mobilize defense, and the Lakers, a bunch of big men, were piled together, which was the most suitable for Anthony Davis to sweep, and Anthony Davis didn't need to run to knock down the Lakers' offense.
So those big men who started the Lakers, except for Howard, had average offensive efficiency. On the contrary, it was Earl Clark, who was 8 of 11 in the game and 4 of 5 three-pointers, which helped the Lakers regain some face.
Otherwise, the Lakers, who have blown up both offense and defense in this game, will definitely not be as simple as losing by 20 points.
After the simulation, Du Kang reviewed the game again, and suddenly found that although the Pelicans team had a bad record, the lineup was really not weak, and it was very reasonable!
The inside line is a standard interior combination of Robin Lopez and Anthony Davis. There are also practical combinations of one defense and one attack like Aminu and Ryan Anderson up front.
On the back line, Eric Gordon is good at attacking, Vasquith is good at playmaking, and Austin Rivers is good at assault.
It can be said that this pelican, which has all types of players in it, is extremely practical and very suitable for playing that kind of targeted basketball.
It's especially suitable for teams like the Lakers who have a lot of shortcomings.
"What to do? I feel that without Kobe and Nash, the Lakers can't get the Pelicans! ”
"Do you want to call Kobe and Nash back?" Originally, after seven consecutive victories, in the face of fish belly, the confidence that rose in Du Kang's heart was wiped out after this simulation with the Pelicans.
"I still don't have enough thighs!" If he had enough thighs, and less Nash and Kobe, he wouldn't have been so embarrassed by a mere pelican.
Two of the original three thighs were missing, and suddenly it was lame. He can't advance now, and he can't retreat.
Looking for Kobe Bryant and Nash to come back, this one will definitely not work. It's not a matter of losing face.
The main thing is that the two were really tired in the last game, and they fought with the Thunder for a whole game, and playing such back-to-back games again would not be worth the loss for the Lakers.
"Could it be that I have to rely on my true strength to break the game in this game?" In the case that the personnel are not neat and the existing lineup is obviously not as reasonable as the other party, relying on his own strength to break the game, this is the first time Du Kang has encountered it.
Fortunately, he can still simulate, and there is still room for mistakes.
"Pelicans head coach Monty Williams is also a rookie head coach, and I have plug-in support, so I have no reason to be inferior to him, right?" Thinking of this, Du Kang was a little excited.
NBA famous coaches are everywhere, even if they are not famous coaches, many of them are senior coaches, with his current strength, relying on real strength to fight with them, he must be beyond his strength.
Therefore, an opponent like Monty Williams, who is also a rookie, is indeed very rare. Ducon feels that Monty Williams can be his whetstone!
Moreover, judging from the simulated game just now, the Pelicans don't look like a team with a very good routine, which shows that Monty Williams is not a very good coach.
In this way, he has a plug-in that can be simulated, Monty Williams has a more reasonable lineup, and the two can be regarded as five or five.
So, he should be able to maintain faith in Monty Williams.
"I happened to meet it by chance this time, and it can be regarded as a beautiful thing!" Thinking of this, Du Kang began to seriously study the pelican team, ready to prepare for the next simulation.
After reviewing the game just now, Du Kang felt that although the Lakers' current lineup was not so reasonable, the advantage was still obvious, that is, it was tall enough.
The starting lineup he previously lined up was Howard, Yi Jianlian, Artest, Meeks, and Blake, which was the standard starting line without Kobe and Nash.
Now Du Kang feels that this starter is not good. It was too much of a loss and a waste to put Yi Jianlian on Brother Thick Eyebrows.
The UAE can be the main attack without Nash and Kobe. As the main attacker, you have to be like James, and point the opponent's colander, which is the most beneficial way to play for the team.
Infinite singles like Kobe and Durant, who they meet to play singles, even pick strong ones, that is a disease, and it has to be cured!
He just let the strong offensive point of the UAE meet thick eyebrows, that is, he is sick and needs treatment. The center is still Howard, the big forward is replaced by Gasol, the small forward is replaced by Yi Jianlian, the scoring guard Meeks, and the organization guard Blake.
Artest substitutes. Gasol can bully thick eyebrows with strength, and Yi Jianlian can bully Aminu with height, this is just right.
As for the tactical system, of course, there is no tactical system! By the way, in the last simulated game, Earl Clark had a good hand, he could shoot three-pointers, and he could also open up space for the team, which could add some time, and maybe this simulation could give some surprises.
After carefully checking that there was nothing wrong with his arrangement, Du Kang began to continue the simulation.
Time and space shifted, and Du Kang once again became the closest audience to Staples. Du Kang looked at the court expectantly, wanting to see if his carefully arranged lineup could take revenge on Monty Williams, a rookie!
And then...... Du Kang was directly dumbfounded when he saw the Pelicans' five starters on the court. How is it different from what was said!
In this game, the Pelicans' five starters are center Bushy Eyebrows, power forward Ryan Anderson, small forward Aminu, scoring guard Eric Gordon, and playmaking guard Vasquith.
"Damn, why did Monty Williams change formation?!" This is the first time Du Kang has encountered such a situation.
When Du Kang simulated it before, the opposing team basically did not change the lineup, even if it changed the lineup, it was Du Kang who affected the Heat team's starters through the real-world war of words.
At other times, the opponents Du Kang encountered during the simulation were actually unchanged. Just like D'Antoni will cling to his own style of play, most of the NBA's head coaches are actually inferior to D'Antoni.
Legend has it that only when it comes to the playoffs will it often change formations and often play in a targeted manner.
In the regular season, everyone is actually practicing their usual routines, and even if there is a change, it is a change in the position of the personnel.
Where is it like Monty Williams, Nima's direct from the normal lineup with no characteristics in the last game has become this obvious running and bombing style of play!
"It's too fast, the Pelicans offense is too fast, Eric Gordon dodges the defense again, he stuns poor Meeks like a dancer, oh my God, three points, three points again!"
"Run! The Pelicans are running again, our fighters are too bulky, we can't catch up with them, and Aminu dunks! ”
"Wow, incredible dunk, China Yi broke through Ryan Anderson's defense, crashed through Anthony Davis's defense, completed an incredible dunk, Yi saved a trace of face for us!" ………… In the system simulation, Du Kang watched the Lakers get up close and personal as they were beaten by the Pelicans at home.
If the last simulation, the Pelicans played the Lakers, it was still a cover-up, did not recognize their advantages, and did not give full play to their speed and shooting advantages, then in this game, the Pelicans simply played their speed and shooting advantages to the extreme.
That's against the Lakers' lineup that is missing Nash and Kobe! This gave Du Kang the feeling that it was not Monty Williams standing opposite him, but the old Nelson of the former Warriors!
The Lakers' group of big men was caught off guard by the surprise attack of the Pelicans' group of guard shooters.
The simulation design of Du Kang's game is completely against the Pelicans in the last game, and it is not at all comparable to the Pelicans in the second game!
"Nima's!" What the hell is going on with this Monty Williams? He wouldn't have a system too, would he?
And then I prejudged him, and he prejudged mine? Thinking of this, Du Kang shook his head, impossible, if he really had a system, he would have become famous a long time ago, and he would not be a nanny-type head coach in a fish belly team.
Seeing Aunt Jenny's sneaky people before, Du Kang knew that Nash and Kobe Bryant couldn't hide it from people at night, so it was predicted that he would be targeted.
But the targeted work is so good, Du Kang did not expect it. Is this Monty Williams really a rookie?
How can a rookie come so openly to change the system. Even if D'Antoni knew in advance that Duncan would not start, he would not play positional offense, which is the reality of most head coaches in the NBA.
D'Antoni is also a bigwig-level manager. So, what the hell is going on? Du Kang couldn't figure it out.
Headache. So the question is, how to simulate the next game? In the next game, will Monty Williams use the same regular lineup as in the first game, or the same run-and-gun lineup in the second game?
"Fack! If my two thighs are still there, I don't care if you are a regular lineup or a run-and-bomb lineup, I will kill it! "Where is the headache like now.
This time, Du Kang realized how important Kobe and Nash mean to the Lakers.
In fact, he also understood it before, but it was not so intuitively reflected. This time, Du Kang finally realized the difficulties of ordinary team coaches in the NBA.
There are only so many people under your hands, it is impossible to do everything, and sometimes, you can only gamble on your life, betting that your opponent has no means to restrain you.
Bet on your opponent to be an ordinary head coach like you, not a very toxic head coach like Nelson Sr. and Popovich.
Otherwise, if you want to line up before every game, you have to break your head. Therefore, don't underestimate those NBA head coaches who have risen in small teams, they are all capable head coaches, at least, they are very powerful in some aspects, and they belong to those who have a unique skill.
Du Kang breathed a sigh of relief and calmed himself down a little. Head coaches like Monty Williams are rare in the NBA, but not uncommon.
"It's my luck to meet this kind of talented rookie head coach who is involved in various systems and playing styles, and it can also inspire me to grow better." Thinking about it like this, Du Kang felt that he was in a much better mood.
Du Kang thought about it again, in order to deal with the possible regular lineup and the possible run-and-bomb lineup, he felt that he should make a more universal lineup.
The UAE is still too big to play small forward. Starting center Howard, starting power forward Allian, starting small forward Artest, starting point guard Meeks, starting point guard Blake.
Du Kang simulated this time, and chose to return to the first time to start and balance it a little. However, the first offensive option in this game, Du Kang chose Howard instead of the United Arab Emirates.
Howard has a great advantage in both Robin Lopez and thick eyebrows, and he can see it in these two games.
Robin Lopez is too slow and inflexible, and his thick eyebrows are too thin and not strong enough. As long as Howard can beat Robin Lopez or thick eyebrows, then no matter whether the Pelicans play the conventional system or the run-and-gun system, the Lakers will be the winner in the end, the dominant side!
Du Kang, who once again clarified his thoughts, felt that he could do it again.
"This time I must beat Monty Williams, no matter what tactics he plaists, I can win!" After all, this is the third time.
It's just three things. After all, this is a rookie head coach like himself!
"Ding, do you want to spend 100MP to start the simulation again?" Are you sure! After Du Kang's selection, the time and space screen changed again, and Du Kang once again came to the Staples Arena, where the audience cheered.
"This time, it will definitely be possible!" Du Kang was secretly cheering himself on. Yesterday at Wei Shao's place, he was beaten to the point of almost collapse, and he hasn't eased up yet.
This time he met this poisonous Monty Williams, if it was like yesterday, Du Kang felt that he was afraid that he would not be able to slow down in a short time.
In short, Du Kang's mood was very nervous at this time. Then, looking at the court, Du Kang was dumbfounded again.
Robin Lopez, Anthony Davis, Jason Smith, Aminu, Eric Gordon...... Three big men over 7 feet, plus a 2.06m wing that can run and jump, and a defender who is very strong in attacking and assaulting.
All three big men, except for Robin Lopez, shot on the offensive end and then shrank under the basket on the defensive end.
Yes, this one, the Lakers didn't have the same fiasco as the previous two. However, why does Du Kang feel that this game is even more aggrieved?
Just like other teams in the NBA that played the Pistons, 76ers, and Larry Brown, the blunt knife cut the flesh, and it was slowly cut, cut.
Howard, set up by Du Kang, faced such a crowded interior line, the offense could not be used at all. Yi Jianlian and other big men of the Lakers also struggled in the face of the sweep of thick eyebrows.
No one in the Lakers' group of big men can kill their opponents to break the game. But the Pelicans have a player like Eric Gordon who can spoil the game on the outside and tear apart the Lakers' mouth.
Then, Du Kang and his Lakers were cut to death with a knife, a knife. It's miserable..................
"Monty ———— Williams !!!" ………… it! Clifford, who was just about to come in to find Du Kang, was startled when he heard Du Kang's shout.
Coach: What's wrong? Stimulated? Clifford hurriedly pushed the door in, and he was stunned by the scene inside.
"Oh my God!" Looking at Du Kang, who was writing and drawing with red eyes at this time, and seemed to be studying tactics, Clifford was really dumbfounded.
It was the first time he had seen Du Kang work so his next match. Even if he faced the Heat and the Thunder before, Du Kang had never been so crazy, right?
"Du, are you alright?" Clifford walked up to Dukang and asked with concern.
"I'm fine." Du Kang took a deep breath to make himself look calmer, and his face showed the same calm smile on his face.
"Today, I kind of know what a real genius is, and I was hit."
......: "Aren't you the best talented coach in the world?" Clifford looked puzzled.
Du Kang shook his head at the end, pride making him not want to explain more. However, he is indeed inferior to Monty Williams.
Nima's, he actually saw the shadow of Nelson Sr., Larry Brown, Pat Riley, and Popovich's U pass cut in a rookie head coach who is also a rookie!
Although they are not systematic, they do see shadows!
"However, no matter how talented you are, as long as I still have MP, I don't believe I can't kill you!" Clifford was surprised to find that Du Kang, who was still a little decadent just now, became full of confidence again.
Well, that's the boss I'm familiar with! …………
"Mr. Nelson Sr.'s run-and-gun can target the Lakers without Kobe and Nash."
"Mr. Larry Brown's one-offense and four-defense can also bully the Lakers who lack outside lethality."
"Mr. Pat Riley's fast forward lineup seems to be able to bring down the Lakers who don't have their speed."
"By the way, Bobo's cut to the basket that Howard pulled out of the basket also seems to work very well, after all, I have so many good shots inside."
"It's a headache, there are too many choices, and it's also a headache." Monty Williams told his former mentors that the Lakers will be missing Kobe and Nash in the next game, and these bigwigs are very enthusiastic about playing against the most talented and powerful young talent head coach in the NBA recently.
It was the first time he had seen these bigwigs so dedicated and so delicate to explain tactics to him.
Let's just say that Monty Williams feels like he's been taking more lessons in the last few hours than he's grown in the past two years.
"I really want to thank Coach D!" If it weren't for Coach D, these big guys with many disciples and every opportunity, where would he care about him, a marginal little person in various circles of the NBA who has no circle, but can mix in every circle.
How could he be given so many ways to kill the Lakers. With so many capable methods of killing Lakers and Coach D, he has difficulty in choosing.
As a decent person, you asked the bigwigs about their methods, and the bigwigs also gave good methods, if you say that if you don't adopt them, it will be undignified.
The bigwigs are watching the next game, they are so dedicated, they just want to fight against Coach D, do you want to spoil their fun, do you want to mix it up in the future?
"Seemingly, I don't have a choice." Monty Williams, who figured this out, felt like he had really thought too much about it before.
"Since you don't have a choice, since each one is useful, then use both?"
"Isn't it just right to use one for one section?"
"Moreover, no matter how clever Coach D is, no matter how clever he is, he can't guess my creative style of play, right?" Thinking of this, Monty Williams was excited.
"When the time comes, I want to give Coach D, and I want to surprise the world!" ………… it! Du Kang, who simulated for the sixth time, felt humiliated!
Is it tolerable or unbearable! Isn't this showing off your skills in front of a rookie! You're genius, you're amazing! But is it necessary to bully people like this!
Du Kang felt that his mentality was a little broken. He felt like he had met the so-called enemy of his life!
"Since you don't talk about martial arts first, then don't blame me!" Du Kang thought viciously. Keep simulating!
………… Feb. 8, 2013, 10:30 p.m., Los Angeles, Staples, the Lakers' home game against the Pelicans is about to begin.
Du Kang finally saw the man who almost broke his mentality, a black coach with a sunny smile.
"Hello Coach D."
"Hello Monty, I have admired the name for a long time." Long-awaited daimyo? Monty Williams looked at Du Kang suspiciously, and always felt that behind Du Kang's sunny smile, there was a lot of malice.
Is it my delusion? …………
"It's going to be fun." Playful? Bobo, are you hiding something from me again?
"Who to play?" Coach D, of course. What can Monty have to be fun with. No, Monty is kind of fun, too.
He must have consulted Larry and Mr. Nelson, right? If that's the case, it's even more interesting.
