On the evening of February 21, after signing Oden, Du Kang almost couldn't sleep that night with excitement.

Don't look at Oden's current ability value is only 78, but his potential is as high as 99!

If it weren't for the fact that Oden had been by his side before, he would have kept the Lakers' future godfather calm and elegant.

He was about to jump.

In addition to the back four, it was the first time he had seen a player with such terrifying potential.

Howard's potential is only 94.

Howard's offensive flaws are so great that even if his physical and defensive attributes are full, it is difficult to have a high overall rating.

Just like Nash, he can't defend and his body can't do it, even if he fills up his offensive attributes and organizational attributes, Nash's total rating will not exceed 95.

According to Du Kang's observation after using the system for so long, it is speculated that the potential can reach 99, and it must be a super all-round thigh with excellent physical talent in both offense and defense.

Such a player, even if he has a little food now, as long as he is trained well in the future, he will be a super thigh like Kobe, the kind of super thigh that can support the entire team!

Du Kang carefully looked at Auden's attributes at this time, hmm......

"It's really good now."

65 cut-in layups, 80 dunks on the spot, 70 cut-in dunks, 75 from close range, 50 from the mid-range, 25 from three-point range, 70 free throws, 75 back-to-back hooks, 65 back-to-back jumpers, 70 back-to-back controls, 40 shooting IQ, 40 pass accuracy, 40 ball control...... Offensive Stability 50, Interior Defense 85, Blocks 85, Offensive Rebounds 75, Defensive Rebounds 85, Lateral Agility 55, Defensive IQ 70, Defensive Stability 72, Speed 60, Acceleration 60, Strength 85, Bounce 75, Staminae 85, Overall Durability 80

The offensive attribute is basically at the level of spicy eyes.

So Auden's evaluations are also very true.

Inside Score: B-, Shooting Score: F, Three-Point Score: F, Organizational Offense: F, Outside Defense: F, Interior Defense: A, Rebound: A-, Athleticism: C+, Basketball IQ D-, Growth Potential: A+

There is basically no offense, except for dunks under the basket, basically nothing can be expected.

Organizations don't even think about it.

In terms of athleticism, it's okay, multiple injuries still haven't completely ruined his athleticism, C+ is not low, because the average athleticism of the center position is C, as a big center, the athleticism can reach the average of the center, this is actually very good, and maybe it can continue to recover in the future.

However, even if the things in front of him are no longer a dish, Oden's interior defense and potential are worthy of the Lakers' focus on training, and he can also get a chance to play in the Lakers.

Dukang wants his interior defense, rebounding, and athleticism beyond the average power center and his potential.

In addition, Auden also gave Du Kang some surprises, he actually has 9 skills on his body.

Gold-level tough baskets, silver-level aerial operations, bronze-level sinking step masters, bronze-level big and small masters, gold-level leaderboard masters, gold-level scrum maniacs, silver card monsters, silver-level bouncing masters, and bronze-level copper walls.

However, Oden's body is also the same as Maddie, and there are still hidden dangers.

Although the system helped Auden fix the high and low legs.

However, it did not repair some of the physical wear and tear and injuries caused by the high and low legs.

For example, at this time, the system shows that Auden's back and knees are red injury risk, and red means high injury risk.

The hips, feet, ankles and left shoulder are yellow and moderately injured.

The schematic diagram of Oden's injury risk is even more terrifying than the wheat looks.

If it weren't for the system repairing his high and low legs, Du Kang wouldn't have dared to use him.

If it is broken, it will be more expensive to repair than the estimate of wheat!

No wonder netizens on YouTube said that he came out to cheat again, saying that he could only make people YY at the training ground, and there was really no way to use such a high risk of injury.

However, now that his high and low legs have been repaired, he is still young, many injuries are not permanent, and they can be slowly recovered by relying on the young body, although they will not return to the original factory settings, but they can also turn red to yellow, yellow to green, and save some use.

And Auden's personality is also quite interesting, LV3's taciturnity, LV2's friendliness, LV3's patting me on the back, LV3's calmness.

Du Kang has seen so many star cards, and there are very few of them with this kind of character.

A 25-year-old player, on LV3 calm, this is tortured by life, in other words, you are taken out by Durant every day to whip the corpse, take it out for comparison, you will slowly go from anger, unwillingness to despair in the end, and finally become calm.

This kind of encounter made him calm, and he became more silent, and he became more in need of encouragement, and the most interesting thing is that he was beaten by life and ridiculed by the media so far, he can still have the friendliness of LV2.

The average black player has already collapsed, right?

Even if it hadn't collapsed, it would have given up on itself a long time ago.

"There should still be a chance to cultivate it."

If Auden is a garbage character, even if he has a potential of 99, Du Kang will not dare to cultivate him, he is really afraid that he will not be able to cultivate him.

Oden's this is okay, a bit of a more brittle UAE feeling.

But...... The ability of 25 is only 78, and it needs more spur and pressure.

"The future is deceitful."

……

……

On the morning of Feb. 22, the Lakers had their first full-strength training session since the death of Mr. Buss Sr.

As a newcomer to the Los Angeles Lakers, Oden is not an ordinary newcomer, his popularity in the NBA is even comparable to that of a superstar, with no achievements at all, but his popularity is very high.

"Guys, welcome to our team, the most talented player in the nation and future legend of the Los Angeles Lakers, Greg Oden."

After Du Kang's introduction, the other Lakers were blinded, even Oden himself.

Coach, how did I become a legend for the future Lakers?

However, seeing the serious expression on the coach's face and feeling the sincerity of the coach when he patted his back, although Oden was shy, his heart was sweet.

However, some of the Lakers players below don't think so.

Kobe, Wheat, Carter and Nash Iverson don't really care, what the coach says.

But Du Kang's evaluation made Howard very opinionated.

At best, this guy Oden is here to substitute himself now, he is a legend in the future, so what is himself?

"Coach, put Greg in our group!"

This kid is wilted and wilted.

"If Dwight is willing to trade Yi out, I don't care."

"Well, forget it."

In the end, Howard thought about it, it must not be possible to exchange Yi Jianlian.

Without Yi Jianlian, he wasn't sure that he could abuse Kobe Bryant every day.

After sending Howard away, Dukang took Oden to Kobe Bryant's group.

Began to introduce Oden to Kobe's group.

Seeing Du Kang personally bring Oden over, Kobe Bryant and the others were actually very surprised.

Iverson, Carter and Maddy join the team, none of them have such treatment, right?

Wouldn't the coach really fall in love with this talented young center who is basically physically disabled?

"Greg, this is Kobe, you should be familiar with it, Durant's idol, I admire Durant very much."

“……”

Hearing Du Kang's introduction to Kobe, Oden and Kobe Bryant were a little dumbfounded at the same time.

"He's Carter, you should be familiar with it, Durant's idol, very fond of Durant."

“……”

Coach, can you speak humanly?

Although we don't know about Oden, and we know that Durant is Oden's shadow, the NBA media basically publishes a bunch of news about the 2007 draft every month.

"He's Artest, and you're familiar with it, Durant shot him in the head that disgraced him."

“……”

Coach, I'm used to you being so, but this big guy feels like I'm going to cry now.

"Also, this is Antoine Jamison, who previously played for Durant's hometown team, the Washington Wizards."

“……”

Coach, can you pull out such a little bit of my relationship with Durant?

Jamison looked at Oden at this time, and had some doubts that this big guy was the target of the coach's focus on training or the target of abuse.

Du Kang ignored Kobe's eyes all the way, and with Oden, who was trembling and already crying, came to the side of Maizi who was standing there and had dozed off.

"TMC, wake up."

"Coach, what's the matter?"

After being poked awake by Du Kang, Maizi yawned and looked at Du Kang and Auden beside Du Kang suspiciously.

"Greg, you should also be familiar with TMC, Maddy, he is also Durant's idol, and now he is also very fond of Durant, the only supergiant fan."

“……”

It's not good for Auden to really cry now, it's not right to laugh, and he feels uncomfortable.

In the past, he was most afraid of encountering the Durant element in his life.

Now it's all about Durant.

"TMC, Greg said that he will catch up with Durant in the future, and now I want to hand him over to you to take and be Greg's master."

Maddie, who was originally sleepy, woke up instantly when she heard Du Kang say this.

"Oh, you're chasing Durant?"

After Maddie asked rhetorically, the eyes of Kobe, Carter and other Lakers players all looked around.

"Damn, the coach is too ruthless!"

This Nima's is simply a public execution!

Howard, who was originally a little unhappy and jealous of Oden, was instantly happy.

This beast doesn't dare to say that he will definitely be able to catch up with Durant's footsteps, as far as Oden's current half-dead appearance, he actually dares to say that he wants to catch up with Durant's footsteps, is he worthy?

"Greg, it's not just a matter of talking about chasing Durant, TMC is the one who can help you get up to speed."

After Du Kang finished with a smile, Auden took a deep breath.

"I want to continue to follow in KD's footsteps, I want KD to have my picture in the landscape, and I don't want to be remembered for the biggest failure in NBA history!"

Maddie looked Auden up and down, feeling a somewhat familiar aura from Auden.

Watching Auden ask a question that everyone but Dukang thought was strange.

"Who is your idol?"

This question directly asked Oden, does it matter?

"I've always wanted to play like Duncan, and he's always been something I look up to and learn from."

Maybe it's definitely better to say Maddie at this time, but ...... Auden still answered very honestly.

I heard that the big four defenders have strange personalities.

TMC wouldn't be angry, would it?

"Coach, I accepted this apprentice, but I have a request......

Before Maddie could finish speaking, Du Kang smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Oden wears No. 21 in the Lakers after that."

For conversations like Dukang and Maddy, Oden is confused, and even the rest of the Lakers players are confused.

However, although Auden was a little confused, he still thanked Du Kang and Maizi very seriously.

Then he was led away by the wheat that was in high spirits.

Seeing that Maizi, who had been dozing off recently, was suddenly so interested, Kobe and Carter were even more puzzled.

However, for Oden, it was very apprehensive and doubtful.

Mainly, he didn't know why the coach had him apprentice to a defender.

"What do you want to learn from Duncan, defense, passing, positioning, layups, jump shots, or shooting on the board."

“……”

Mr. Maizi, are you kidding?

Auden looked at Maddie suspiciously.

You taught me Jordan's stunts, I believe them all, but Duncan?

Maddie didn't explain and picked up a basketball.

Throwing, hooking, jumping, archery on horseback...... All of them are 45-degree angle shots!

Auden rubbed his eyes, and the doubts on his face all turned into shock.

Whether it is the action or demeanor, and even the amplitude of the shot is as chic as Maddie, all of them are Duncan's mediocre!

Auden was dumbfounded.

If it weren't for the fact that this person was indeed Maddie, he would have doubted that the person who shot in front of him was Duncan!

"This, how is this possible?!"

Auden is really stupid now.

Seeing Oden's appearance like this, Maddie picked up the basketball and threw it to Oden after shooting the last 45-degree shot.

"Want to learn?"

"Yes!"

"From now on, you're Duncan."

“……”

Soon, a confused Auden knew why Maddie would say that.

Maizi found a paintbrush and found a white training suit, and literally wrote No. 21 on the front of the suit and Duncan on the back.

Auden's old clothes were made of wheat into a whip.

Where is the posture wrong, where is the hit.

Even the slightest subtlety, Duncan himself probably won't notice.

But the wheat is clear.

The defensive posture is wrong, the card position is wrong, the passing posture is wrong, the shooting posture is wrong......

Maizi is going to teach Oden like a schoolboy who doesn't know basketball.

The next screen......

X-rated!

"it!"

The Lakers players who have been watching how Maizi is going to train Oden are stupid.

"Du, is it really okay to let TMC teach Greg?"

"Steve also thinks TMC is too ruthless?."

Isn't it?

Where is this teaching students, this looks like venting resentment!

"Doing the right thing with the least consumption, in fact, TMC is telling Oden that the most suitable for him now is Duncan's style of play."

“……”

Clifford is stupid, how else can he explain it?

But why do I feel like it's still so unreasonable?

You're going to say that Duncan has no problem doing this, but this is TMC, when will he be able to train Duncan?

In the future, there will be two happy monsters on the Lakers' training ground.

One is Howard, who is pleased with Kobe.

The other one is Maddie who is happy with Oden.

In short, with the arrival of Oden, the atmosphere at the Lakers' training ground has become more pleasant.

……

……

On February 23, 2013, the first game of the Lakers after the death of Buss Sr. was also the first game in which Dukang received a gift from Buss Sr., who was envied and hated by all NBA coaches.

The Lakers will host the Trail Blazers.

Prior to this game, the Lakers had a 30-25 record and had overtaken the 29-26 Rockets to move up to eighth place in the West.

The opposite Trail Blazers are 25-29.

The Trail Blazers led by Lillard, Aldridge, Matthews, and Batum don't look at the record as good as the Lakers, but their strength is not weak.

The top 13 in the West this season are all without weak teams.

Even the Pelicans, who are 14th in the West, almost overturned the Lakers before.

However, before the game, most fans were still more optimistic about the Lakers.

After all, Du Kang has just signed a 10-year contract extension and has just received such a huge gift from the old Bass.

If you lose the first game, you will probably be laughed to death by the whole country.

And they deserve to die laughing.

In this game, the Lakers' starters were changed from the five guards in the previous game.

Swapped out for regular starters for Howard, Yi Jianlian, Carter, Kobe and Nash.

Iverson and Maizi were both on the bench.

Well, Oden, who had just signed with the Lakers, also unexpectedly sat on the bench.

On the opposite side of the Trail Blazers, the starters in this game are center Aldridge, power forward JJ Hickson, small forward Batum, scoring guard Matthews, and playmaking guard Lillard.

Before the game, Trail Blazers head coach Stotts expressed a lot of confidence in his pre-game press conference.

He's not blindly confident.

"After I was coached by Coach Phil, Coach Carlisle, and Coach George Carr, I actually found out that we are the Trail Blazers, the Tenke Lakers!"

That's what makes people excited.

Howard is the Lakers' only point of defense, and the Lakers' defense is Howard's defense.

The Trail Blazers, on the other hand, have Aldridge, perhaps the most accurate shooting player at the center position right now.

Well, Aldridge has been playing center forward a lot of the time this season.

In addition, the Lakers' forward line is a group of old guys, with good skills but physical and physical problems, but the Trail Blazers' forward line is young and brave players like Batum and Matthews, who can hit like crazy.

And the Lakers' point guards are Nash and Iverson, who of them can stop Lillard?

"Let Aldridge play Howard's mentality, let Matthews and Batum attack the Lakers' front line and eventually cause Howard to foul, let Lillard point out Nash and Iverson and finally kill Howard!"

That's what Coach Phil Jackson taught the Trail Blazers.

As long as Howard is beaten, the Lakers will be gone.

The Trail Blazers aren't an aging team like the Celtics.

Without Howard's Lakers, the Trail Blazers can kill the Lakers to death!

"Terry, I guess Coach D will put Oden on the bench in this game, most likely it is a bluff, make you wonder, don't dare to kill Howard desperately, Coach D's hand may be useful to other teams who don't know about Oden, but you are the Trail Blazers, this hand, it won't be useful to you, right."

Coach Phil even guessed that Coach D would put Oden on the bench in this game!

If it weren't for Coach Phil being an 11-time head coach, if he just hugged the thighs of players and assistant coaches, he wouldn't have won 11 NBA championships.

At this time, Stotts was quite convinced!

"Yes, Oden can scare other teams, but he definitely can't scare our Trail Blazers!"

"The Trail Blazers are firmly over, and Oden is a waste man who can't fight anymore!"

So, lads!

Take out your style and go for it!!

In this game, we killed the Lakers, won the first defeat of Coach D, and everyone became famous together!

In the face of the Lakers, who have won the last 13 consecutive games and are in good shape and fighting at home, the Trailblazers, who came to challenge away, actually took the lead in the surprised eyes of the Lakers fans at the scene!

The first attack of the Trail Blazers, the Trail Blazers who won the first offensive opportunity, after Aldridge pulled out Howard, the big forward Hickson broke through Yi Jianlian's defense, went straight to the basket, and attracted Carter in the bottom corner to assist in the defense, and gave the ball to Batum, who hit 3 points!

After 1 minute in the first quarter, the Trail Blazers continued to attack, and this time, after Aldridge pulled out Howard, it was Batum's turn to attack, Batum shook off Carter's defense and directly hit the basket and dunked!

In the next round, the Lakers attacked, Nash and Yi Jianlian blocked and dismantled, the 2.06-meter-tall Hixon was extremely athletic and flexible, and Lillard's defense was very aggressive.

Nash and Yi Jianlian's blocking and dismantling substitutions failed, and Nash had to break through one step to attract defense and then continue to find Kobe or Yi Jianlian according to the previous blocking and dismantling offensive convention.

But this time, in the face of Lillard's very solid and aggressive defense, although Nash protected Lillard's steal, his pass was judged by Aldridge on the other side and completed the steal.

For an aging team like the Lakers, offensive mistakes are a very fatal thing.

Fortunately, Yi Jianlian was at the free throw line, and he ran really fast.

Yi Jianlian, who retreated to defend the basket, finally prevented Batum from directly attacking the basket.

But it couldn't stop Batum from shooting from beyond the three-point line.

Seeing Batum, who had just hit a bottom corner three-pointer in the opening, shoot an open three-pointer at the top of the arc, more than 20,000 Lakers fans at the scene were stunned.

Bang!

Batum's three-point shot at the top of the arc missed, but it made the Lakers fans at the scene gasp in shock.

Looking back, Yi Jianlian grabbed the defensive rebound and made a long pass to Kobe Bryant in front of him, and Kobe faced Matthews' defense and leaned back to hit the iron with two points.

The tempo of the two teams was instantly up.

Lillard received a backcourt rebound and drove straight in, facing Yi Jianlian's help defense, throwing the ball high, and JJ Hickson received a pass that was an aerial relay.

7 to 2!

"!!"

The opening of this game not only stunned the Lakers fans on the scene.

Even the Chinese audience in the Penguin live broadcast room was stunned.

"I said before the game, Coach Xiao Du is not good to play this game, and he is likely to suffer the first defeat in his career, after Coach Xiao Du accepted the gift of Old Bass, there has been news in the United States, many head coaches in the NBA are collectively targeting Coach Xiao Du, the opening of the Trail Blazers' game, this is definitely not the handiwork of a coach of Stotts, it is too targeted!!"

"Mr. Yang, you said that in the United States, many head coaches in the NBA are really targeting Coach Xiao Du?"

"Hehe, in fact, before Coach Xiao Du accepted the gift of Old Bass, he was the Tang monk meat that everyone wanted to take a bite of, you may know that most of the fans in this game are supporting the Lakers, but most of the professionals are supporting the pioneers."

“……”

After Mr. Yang's explanation of what I know the inside story was finished, the audience in the live broadcast room was dumbfounded.

What they know is that most of the Chinese expert fans in this game think that the Lakers will win, and the news they watch in the United States is also in support of the Lakers.

Then, Yang Huahua actually said that in fact, most of the expert media in the United States think that the pioneers can win.

This......

Some can't accept it.

But it was a big shock.

And the situation of the game now is also making people tremble.

"What now?"

At this time, all the viewers in the Penguin live broadcast room looked at the young Lakers head coach on TV.

The live broadcast footage is really interesting.

If the Lakers start like this, if they don't adjust in time, there is really a momentum that will collapse.

Therefore, I don't know if it's the penguin live broadcast room, in fact, all the viewers who follow this game are waiting to see how the future Lakers godfather, who is pinned on by Jerry Buss, will break the game.

Popovich.

George Carr.

Rick Carlisle.

Old Nelson.

Pat Riley.

……

……

Everyone was watching at this point.

Including the man behind Stotts in this game, Phil Jackson.

"Coach D motioned for the team to slow down, let Nash give the ball to Howard, and let Howard single Aldridge inside!"

"Howard sits down Aldridge, Howard dunks!"

"Effective, Coach D's command is very effective, Aldridge can't guard Howard!"

"Howard's inside singles stabilized the Lakers!"

Aldridge really can't guard against Howard.

But!

In the next round, Howard continued to single Aldridge.

Aldridge fell to the ground again.

This time, the referee's whistle blew.

Howard, who had just helped the Lakers stabilize the situation in the offensive round, was saddled with an offensive foul.

Looking at Aldridge, who had just been knocked to the ground by his own palm and stood up, Howard was dumbfounded, unable to even argue.

His offensive moves were not clean, and his palm did sweep Aldridge.

"Now Howard's defense doesn't dare to move!"

"The Lakers are in danger!!"

"Coach D is going to lose the first loss on the Lakers' home court!"

The three commentators on the sidelines of TNT were excited.

That's big news!

Then, on the Internet, the NBA audience, and the melon-eating masses in the United States were also excited!

"Coach D's first defeat is finally here!"

……

……

In front of the TV, looking at the Lakers fans who were already a little silent at this time, Phil Jackson's face showed an elegant smile.

"Jerry, this is the future Lakers godfather you have high hopes for."

Phil Jackson wanted to see the panicked look on the face of the man who had made him jealous to the point of separation.

The fans around him, the two assistant coaches around him, were indeed intimidated by the Trail Blazers who had a ferocious start at this time.

But!

"Dwight, how to attack, how to defend, as long as one of them dare not defend, you will get out of here!"

Hard mouth!

As long as Howard still wants to stay on the court, it is impossible to fully exert his strength on the defensive end, because, in the last game, Kobe Bryant scored 81 points!

In this game, Howard is going to attack!

"Coach D, do you think you're the only one who is a master of psychology?"

On the screen, in the face of Aldridge's breakthrough with the ball, Howard has been fighting and retreating, and was finally dunked by Aldridge!

"Before you, I was the mental master of the NBA!"

Now, do you dare to replace Howard?

Howard also thinks you don't dare to change him!

Phil Jackson smiled.

"Oh my God, Coach D really replaced Howard, who didn't dare to defend! Coach D replaced Howard with Oden! ”

Oden for Howard?!

Phil Jackson, who was still smiling gracefully just now, had a smile on his face that froze.

……

……

Actually, it's not just Phil Jackson.

Popovich and Pat Riley in front of the TV were also dumbfounded.

Coach D really dares!

How dare you use Auden at this time?!

"Coach D's mentality has been broken, and the Lakers are going to collapse!"

……

……

"This ubiquitous psychological warfare, this is definitely Phil Jackson's handiwork!"

Larry Bird frowned.

Is the NBA's most demanding head coach, D's crazy legend, really over here?

……
