Chapter 413: A Desperate War!
Du Kang knew very well that they would never allow themselves to win the second game, and at the same time they desperately wanted to beat themselves, the kind that was already on top.
So, no matter how aggressive they are, Dukang must not be out of the game before the Lakers win three games.
Fantastic Monty is strong, and Fantastic Monty and Phil Jackson, and Popovich, are different from all his opponents.
Even if he's already cultivating his secret weapon, Jokic, he's not completely sure he'll be able to pull off last year's miracle.
So, he could only wait.
It's not just him who needs to wait, all the Lakers players, coaches, need to wait.
"Dwyan, I know you really want to stomp LeBron James under your feet, but, now, I want you to put down this feeling for a while, Dwyane Wade is completely out of balance."
"At the same time, the current Lakers have been completely controlled, and the current Lakers are already lambs to be slaughtered, to be kneaded."
Even if the Lakers can win three games, Du Kang actually has no certainty of winning the game, can beat the magical Monty, can win the game.
However, this is his and the Lakers' only chance.
After Wade and the others left Dukang's office, Dukang took the initiative to make a phone call with Popovich.
Ducon just told Popovich one thing.
That is, James's current situation is fake, it was Wade who judged, and everything James is doing now is fake.
After listening to Dukang's words, Popovich suddenly fell silent.
Popovich is a very smart man, and he is also a lifelong enemy of James.
Popovich's knowledge of James is perhaps the second-tier existence in this world after Wade.
With Popovich's ingenuity and knowledge of James, it was not difficult for Popovich to guess what James and the forces behind him wanted to do.
"Coach D, you don't have to tell me that."
It was a long time before Popovich spoke.
"Bobo, I've always said that you are now a Laker, in my heart, we are already a share of honor and disgrace, I am willing to bear all the pressure of you, and naturally I am willing to bear all your honor and disgrace."
Du Kang smiled.
Should you tell Popovich about it or not?
After Wade and the others left, Du Kang only thought about it for a while and decided to tell the story.
Although he did trap Bobo by bringing him over.
However, at this time, Dukang's conscience and reason told him that he could not let Popovich block all his guns without knowing anything.
Although he dug Bobo over to block his gun.
But some guns are really too much.
And, more importantly, as he said, he actually recognized Popovich as a real Laker.
And not the opponent I hated the most before.
After Du Kang finished speaking, Popovich on the other side was still silent, except for the obvious shortness of breath, he was still silent.
Sensing Popovich's silence, Dukang smiled.
"I know that such a thing is too difficult for Bobo, extremely painful for anyone, and no one wants to go down a path that is doomed to no result."
Yes, it was a fruitless path for Bobo.
Bobolai Lakers are going to be gods.
Then he was to put on his own garment, and he could not take it off.
He didn't have a chance to fight the gods.
Because, it is Coach D who is waiting for the god outfit.
He can only be a consumable.
Maybe his only role now is to let Coach D and the Lakers know more about Fantastic Monty, so that Coach D can better defeat the Celtics and Fantastic Monty in the final comeback, and better defeat the gods.
Now, he's just a head coach who makes wedding dresses for others.
What defeats the gods, in one fell swoop, defeats the gods, and proves themselves.
All of this is fake, there is no chance, he doesn't have any chance.
This made him meaningless for the Lakers for a moment.
Du Kang can understand Popovich's mood now, and now Popovich must be like he has taken a vacation.
So, if Popovich doesn't do it, he can understand.
His strategy doesn't necessarily require Popovich, Nash, Ham, Clifford or even Aunt Jenny to be the head coach of the Lakers.
Anyway, the end result is not something they can control.
The outcome of the game is not up to them, nor is it up to Popovich.
So, if Popovich really doesn't want to do it, he doesn't want to suffer this insult.
Ducon is willing to let Popovich resign as the team's acting head coach right now.
However, compared to Nash, Popovich is stronger, although it has no impact on the result, but it can increase the difficulty of their empty court and force more strength of Magical Monty.
It's just that Popovich is really pitted by him too badly now, and he can't even stay with the Spurs, if he doesn't make it clear to him, it is equivalent to him and the Lakers backstabbing him, using him, and not treating him as their own, which may be a bigger blow to Popovich than the Spurs expelling him.
Therefore, in terms of conscience, Du Kang really can't pass his own level.
Although he treats Popovich as his own, there is really no need for Popovich to put down all his honor for him and the Lakers.
The Spurs don't want it, and the Lakers can't prove themselves, and now if even the reputation of a lifetime is tarnished, this will be too miserable.
Although Popovich is black, all the honors in his career are done by his own hands, and no matter how black Popovich is, he will not say that Popovich has the help of his godfather.
The whole world knows that Popovich has even been the target of coalition strikes.
And that's one of Popovich's proudest things before, I'm going to win so many championships under the NBA opposition and David Stern's blow!
And this is where Popovich has always been very proud, and he has been angry with the league and the league's vice president more than once because of such a clear reputation, saying that he is targeting himself, the Spurs, and Bowen.
Nothing can be gained, and he has to press his last reputation, which is indeed too cruel for Popovich.
"If Bobo doesn't want to coach anymore, I can ...... right now"
Du Kang is not retreating, but sincerely.
It's just that this time, before Du Kang could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Popovich on the other end of the phone.
"No need, until you come back, I'll coach the next game."
Well?!
Du Kang looked surprised.
Popovich on the other end of the phone continued to speak, as if talking to himself.
"Maybe this Finals doesn't mean anything to me anymore, but it means something unparalleled to you, to the Lakers, and even to the NBA."
Popovich's voice was still coming.
"Like you said, I'm already a Laker and I'm willing to sacrifice everything for my team, and ......"
"And?"
Popovich, on the other side, laughed.
Whether it's a bitter smile or a sincere laugh, in short, it's a laugh.
Du Kang's eyes widened.
"And how could it not mean anything to me to be part of such a great cause?"
"Great Cause......
Dukang chewed on the words that came out of Popovich's mouth.
"As a basketball person, as an NBA head coach, what you are doing now is the greatest cause in my heart!"
Popovich looked at the Lakers players who were still training not far away, and looked at Wade, who had returned, with a smile full of memories written on his face.
From the first season of Coach D entering the NBA, for Kobe Bryant's anger at James's so-called team play, angry at those media who think James is the most team Kobe Bryant is the most selfish player, and single-handedly change the NBA's atmosphere of more and more advocating triple-doubles, assists, and high-end statistics, he is actually full of shock and admiration for Du Kang, and of course, reverence.
When Coach D was a rookie, he was doing what all NBA players, coaches, and professionals wanted to do but couldn't do or didn't dare to do.
It's hard to ignore this kind of courage and madness that single-handedly confronts the general trend of the entire NBA.
If you don't take into account the factors of your competitors, there is no doubt that Coach D is the head coach he respects the most.
Even above the master Larry Brown and the second master Nelson Sr.
Yes, it is true that he is now unable to pursue his personal goals.
Perhaps only when he loses the pursuit of personal goals can he have the opportunity to look away from his personal gains and losses, and can he go to the bigger picture like Coach D and do the kind of big cause that can change the NBA pattern.
"Coach D, right now, I'm honored to be a part of the greatest thing you're doing, and that's what it means for me to stay in the Finals, and I don't regret my decision, whether it's coming to the Lakers or staying now, I don't regret it, it's going to be the most special journey of my coaching career."
Popovich's agitated voice returned to calm.
This time, however, it was Du Kang's turn to be silent.
After a moment of silence, Du Kang spoke again.
"Bobo ......"
"Huh?"
"Thank you."
Popovich was stunned for a moment, but soon Popovich came back to his senses, and the smile that had disappeared appeared on his face again.
This time, there was no bitterness in this smile, and there was no unwillingness.
It's hard to imagine in purity.
On June 8, 2015, the Lakers played the Celtics finals G2 at home, and this game attracted more attention than the previous G1 because of the pre-game Coach D comeback incident and James's whitewashing incident.
However, this time, everyone's attention to this game is no longer the winner or loser, it should be said that it is no longer just the winner or loser, but the threat of the black hook executive at the end of James' video.
Yes, the hook has fired that executive.
But what is expulsion in the United States?
The money is already in place, and the expulsion is tantamount to the chic after the freedom of wealth.
How many Lakers executives and staff have been fired in the past two years, and how chic are they now with the money they were bought?
James successfully jumped back and whitewashed, this will definitely anger that group of capital.
Now everyone is watching how crazy this group of capital is.
"No matter how crazy they are this time, I will stand on James's side, I used to be James Black, and now, I am James's biggest honey, I want to tell those people who are trying to control everything that there is fairness and justice in this world!"
Yes, now James has even become the embodiment of fairness and justice.
In the United States during this time period, the anger on Wall Street is still there, and the anger against capital is still there, just as the NBA has not been completely domesticated by capital because of Du Kang's obstruction, and its realization has not been completely domesticated by capital in the entire social mood of the United States.
Therefore, this game is not only NBA fans, but also many onlookers who do not watch the NBA, and also joined in their support for James.
It would probably not be an exaggeration to say that the Lakers vs. Celtics game was perhaps the most watched game in NBA history.
Because the social impact of this game was too great, even the NBA commissioner David Stern came to the scene.
James, who has already predicted that this game will be fair and just, as the president of the league, it is definitely inappropriate for you not to come.
Seeing that James was taking the initiative to find Wade to hug on the court at this time, David Stern always had a calm face on his face, his eyes narrowed, and there was no smile.
If Wade is the man who knows James in the world.
Then David Stern is definitely second to know.
He absolutely didn't believe that James was white now.
He knew too well what kind of person James was.
He also knows too well how much resources the capital behind James has invested in James.
Especially in the past two years, because of Coach D, the capital behind him has been like crazy in order to control the NBA.
That input, even as the president of the alliance, David Stern was dumbfounded.
If James jumps back like this, it is definitely not as simple as threatening to get James in the game.
James is no longer separable from the capital behind him.
This is also the reason for his despair, and this is the reason why Coach D wanted to retire from the NBA before he came to the NBA.
James was the sustenance of his dreams.
It is his dream and goal to surpass the Jordan era and lead the NBA beyond other business leagues.
And these dreams and goals are all pinned on James.
But, in the end, what James did broke his heart and made him desperate, not only in the despair of broken dreams, but also in despair about the future of the NBA.
How many times did he block spinach from the NBA during his tenure?
How many times has he been entangled with the casino, and how many times has he been false?
How many years has he been fighting with capital?
He knows that the NBA is a business league.
He knows that the NBA needs capital.
He built it with his own hands.
Of course he does.
However, he also knows that if the NBA wants to continue to move forward, it still needs to have an ideal.
Without business and capital, the NBA can't go far.
There is only business and capital, and the NBA will not go far.
The NBA could make more, but his tenure has not allowed the NBA to make all the money.
This made the capital very dissatisfied with him.
James' ideal is gone.
Coupled with the dissatisfaction of capital with him, the NBA is on the verge of splitting.
It really doesn't make any sense for him to stay.
He is also old, his health is not good, and his descendants have their own blessings, and he has even finalized his retirement date.
Until, Coach D came......
Once again, his dream was ignited.
And the crown prince Adam Xiao Hua, who was appointed by capital, became the prince of 10,000 years.
He stayed, not to let James rein in the precipice and find his original intention.
He stayed, and his only goal was to escort Coach D.
And now, he's really desperate......
When the fruits of Coach D's protection of the NBA in the past two years were actually picked by James, he realized how small individuals like himself and Coach D were in front of capital.
An individual can never fight for capital.
The only thing that can suppress capital is ......
David Stern looked at the flag that many Chinese fans were flying at the scene......
Finally, David Stern closed his eyes.
Despair......
And on the pitch.
At this time, James, who was hugging Wade, smiled and whispered in Wade's ear.
Dwyan, why did you win the championship before I did?
Dwyan, why do you always shine so brightly?
Do you know?
If it weren't for you, my life would have been much better!
Dwyan, you drove me to a dead end!
It was you, the 2006 champion, who made me nowhere to go!
I don't want to be a toy!
No one in this world dreams of just being a toy!
James' eyes were red, and to the audience, it seemed as if he was about to cry.
Dwyan!
It was you who made me a toy, and it was you who made me experience the joy of toys!
They were playing with my career, my dreams, my spirit, and everything.
And now, I'm playing with everything about you, too!
"James is apologizing to Wade!!"
That's what the whole world thinks at this time.
Only Wade, he knew what James was saying in his ear at this time.
"Dwyan, you will never be able to play me, despair, the final winner is me, and you will always be the loser next to me!"
"Despair, no one can save you!"
James hugged Wade, who was already stunned in front of him.
"Coach D can't !! either"
At the same time, the whole world is boiling at this moment.
In front of the TV, on the Internet, I don't know how many Wade fans, James fans burst into tears.
"James finally apologized to Wade!"
"This is the most touching moment I've ever seen in the NBA!"
"Brother, finally reconciled!"
"Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, you guys go and smash that damn capital, let LeBron blacken capital!"
