Chapter 493: The Lakers After Coach D's Departure!

In the uproar of public opinion in the United States, returning to Los Angeles again made Du Kang feel very novel.

On the way from the airport to the hotel, there were a large number of Los Angeles fans who came to meet the airport.

Even Uncle Jim, who is the owner of the Lakers, didn't care about what opponents were not up to, and personally came to the airport to pick up Du Kang.

And, after Uncle Jim picked up the plane, he followed Du Kang and boarded the Bobcat bus directly and sat with Du Kang.

Seeing this scene, I don't know how many Bobcats players dropped their jaws in shock.

Even Danzi is very unhappy and apprehensive, although Coach D is your Godfather of the Lakers, but now Coach D is also temporarily seconded to our Charlotte, the head coach of our Bobcats!

What's going on with this strong NTR feeling?

Well, Danzi feels that he was NTR by Uncle Jim, and Uncle Jim still feels that he was NTR by Danzi, my coach D is good in the Lakers, you have to use yourself as bait to dig the foot of the wall and stir up the Lakers, I'm not happy, but you're not happy first.

Uncle Jim now has a very high status in the NBA, he took over the Lakers for three years and completed the dynasty for the Lakers with Coach D, he is now the benchmark of the NBA's 'second generation of bosses', maybe there is still a long way to go beyond his teacher Jerry West, but wherever he goes, everyone will give him face, after all, he will be at the helm of the NBA's No. 1 giant for decades in the future, and one of the real highest-level bigwigs in the NBA.

"Du, after you left Los Angeles, the Lakers are becoming more and more unstable now."

After getting on the bus with Dukang, Uncle Jim began to grumble.

In fact, Uncle Jim has poured these bitter waters with him before, just because he has not returned to Los Angeles because he is very busy in the summer, and he can't see him.

After his departure, the Lakers' free market this summer was very quiet, basically only out, not in.

For example, the leader of the Lakers last season, a double winner of FMVP and MVP, and the third-percentile in NBA history, Wade returned to the Heat, attracting Aldridge and Jimmy Butler.

For example, Seth Curry, the tactical core of the Lakers last season, also left the Lakers and went to the New York Knicks, it can only be said that Seth Curry's choice is the biggest 'revenge' against his brother Stephen Curry, my stupid brother, you don't have the championship, I have it, I have it for a while you don't have, even the New York Knicks you want to go to the most are now mine.

As for the feud between the Knicks and the Lakers, this is not necessary for Seth Curry, Lakers players like Kobe are really not suitable for the Knicks, and Seth Curry has not yet reached this level.

The Lakers have left more than these two players this season, Barkley naturally left, Pierce was originally ready to retire, but his mentor Dou Reaves invited, so he went to the Clippers and took the Clippers' champion Russell and other young people.

In fact, Garnett also received an invitation from Doug Reaves, but in the end, Garnett chose to return to his former parent team, the Timberwolves, of course, Garnett also went to take the young man, the Timberwolves' Wiggins, LaVine and other young people are really not something that ordinary big-name players can suppress.

In addition, the role players of the Lakers, Coach D's super love sauce, and super nerve knife Kanan, accepted the invitation of 76ers head coach Iverson and went to find his idol Iverson.

These players who have left are either professional players who have other pursuits, such as Garnett, he wants to retire his Timberwolves jersey, and he doesn't want to be like O'Neal, and he can't retire the Magic jersey for a long time.

Seth Curry's quest is, of course, to 'get revenge' on that stupid brother of his.

Wade's current pursuit is to take back the authority of his Heat, and he wants to erect a statue outside the Heat arena to disperse all the influence that James has blown up with the Heat, so that James' influence and contribution to the Heat can return to reality.

And Kanan and Pierce can't be said to have not pursued, but the Clippers' big contract to Pierce must be very attractive to Pierce, the Clippers gave Pierce the big contract that expired Jamison, and Jamison, who was poached from the Lakers back then, beat James in the Lakers, and when he arrived at the Clippers, he became a pension player, however, this did not hinder the Clippers' pursuit of Pierce.

As for Kanan, he didn't wait for Dukang to return like other young players in the Lakers, mainly because he wanted to start and make the All-Star.

"Coach, Mr. Devon is right, the first stage of the competition between me and Michael is actually over a long time ago, and we need to enter the second stage of the competition."

"Isaiah, you're no worse than anyone else in my heart, and I'm looking forward to seeing you standing in front of Michael on the All-Star stage."

Kanan went to the 76ers to find Iverson because he wanted to be an All-Star like McCarvey and compete with McCarvey for his career.

Before making the decision to leave the Lakers, he deliberately looked for Du Kang.

The Lakers drafted four heroes in the 13th year, Antetokounmpo, McCarvey, Kanan and Covington, the relationship between the four of them is very special, they are best friends, they came to the NBA together, the four of them are also the same door, and they are taught by the German teacher together, and they are independent members of the Devin Ibanks force in addition to Kobe, Maizi and Da Yao and other veteran forces, and at the same time, they are also competitors with each other.

Antetokounmpo and Covington are both forwards with very different styles over 2.06 meters, and McCarvey and Covington are also completely different styles of players at the point guard position.

In the end, the victors are, of course, Antetokounmpo and McCarvey, however, Covington and Kanan are also very strong, and in the history of the Lakers dynasty, the two have also performed great achievements, and they have also been greatly recognized by the NBA, which is why the 76ers are willing to offer Covington and Kanan big contracts.

It's not just that 76ers head coach Iverson wants to find his own descendants after his love Embiid is reimbursed for another season, but these two are not short of suitors in the NBA now, and the two of them can't become core players or even starters in the Lakers because of the special competitive environment, but in the NBA, except for the Lakers, most teams, they can become starters or even core players.

After all, in the system, Kanan and Covington's abilities are real all-star abilities, and they are not the worst ordinary all-stars, they are only a little bit away from superstars, of course, they are talking about ability values, the real superstar ability value to 90 is just one foot to get started, as well as skills, talent tendencies, etc., their teacher Ibanks understands very well that Ibanks' ability attributes have reached supergiant, but hard power has not reached the level of supergiant.

So, this summer, the Lakers have a total of 7 players.

At the beginning, the players under Du Kang's team were Jokic, McCarvey, Ibanks, Antetokounmpo, Dinwiddie, Lee Kyle, Kobe, Maddy, Da Yao and Roy.

Even these 10 players of the Lakers make the current Popovich head bad.

The person who knows this Lakers team is undoubtedly Du Kang, who knows the Lakers best.

Every player in this Laker, that's an elite, an absolute elite.

For example, Jokic, the second-year rookie who caught a glimpse of the finals, will definitely not be much worse than Kobe, Maizi and Da Yao, the three major divine beasts, and it is definitely at the level of quasi-divine beasts, and it is not even so far away from the divine beasts, it can be regarded as a level with Oden, and then, he and Popovich do not deal with each other, he stays with the Lakers, does not make trouble and wants to leave, just waiting for Du Kang to come back.

At the same time, Jokic is also sent by the German teacher, who usually only listens to the German teacher, and only has superficial respect for veterans such as Kobe and Maizi, and they can't call Jokic at all.

Well, as Jokic's idol, Da Yao should be able to move part of Jokic, but this part is definitely not much.

Not to mention McCarvey and Antetokounmpo, the abilities of these two people have also reached the superstar now, and even Antetokounmpo is already a supergiant.

The point is, these two are not so cold to Popovich either.

The point is that these two people are also people from the German teacher's forces.

Therefore, they are not without backers, they have Mr. Devin, the biggest opposition force on the Lakers, as a backer, and Popovich has no way to ignore their existence and manipulate them at will.

Kezi and Maizi can't help it, Teacher Devon doesn't fight or grab, it doesn't mean that he will be bullied casually.

Don't talk about Mr. Devin himself, he is the underground king of the Lakers.

Behind him, the three big King Kong Jokic, McCarvey and Antetokounmpo, all of them are ferocious.

And is there only three King Kongs for the German teacher?

Of course, it's not just that, Dinwiddie, and Lee Kaier are also German teachers.

Dinwiddie and Lee Kyle, though unknown to the Lakers, spent most of last season growing under the wing of Mr. Devin.

However, there are so many opportunities to strengthen the training camp, Dinwiddie's ability at the time of the draft is not low, and his potential is not low, and his current attributes have also reached the All-Star level, and even he is only 1 point away from the superstar 90, considering the good skills and talent tendencies, Dinwiddie's real combat power is now not up to 89 quasi-superstars, but in the All-Star level, it is definitely in the upper middle level.

There is also Li Kaier, this is definitely one of the players that Du Kang has focused on cultivating in the Lakers, almost all the potential enhancements of the training camp have been given to Li Kaier, and Li Kaier's current potential is more than 90, the potential of a superstar.

And his current potential is also good, and by the time Du Kang left, his attributes had reached All-Star level.

The key is Li Kaier's ball quotient and style of play, although the real combat effectiveness he showed is not so explosive, not the explosive style of play of Kobe Bryant and other offensive stars, but his style of play is definitely the kind of tactical core level that Popovich loves.

It's just that in the Lakers, there are too many players who can be the tactical core, and Li Kaier can't use it for the time being, Du Kang let Li Kaier play the tactical core from time to time last season, and he is also one of the several rookies of the Lakers last season, except for Jokic, the most shiny, human creeping essence, even brighter than Dinwiddie.

Do you see it.

The Lakers' 10 players, six young players, are all Devin Ibanks' influencers, with Lee Kyle and McCarvey still two of Popovich's favorites.

This is a headache.

Popovich's two favorite little beets, McCarvey and Lee Kyle, who were coveted by the Spurs back then, are now players who don't like their own forces, he likes two little beets, but these two little beets don't like him so much, they are all waiting for Coach D, and they don't take him, the new head coach of the Lakers, seriously at all.

Willing to listen to his tactical arrangements, but respectful? Heart? Definitely not, their hearts are all in Coach D.

If you're a head coach, how do you get it?

And Kobe, Maizi, Yao Ming, Roy, these four old gangsters, on the contrary, respect him very much, the former head coach of the Spurs.

After all, these four old NBA players are well aware of Popovich's strength and his achievements in the NBA.

Even Kezi almost followed him to the Spurs back then.

And Maizi, Roy and Da Yao, are also his old rivals for many years.

And that's the current situation within the Lakers right now.

Popovich wants to promote young people, but young people don't like him very much, why does Popovich want to promote young people?

Of course, it's Nash's experience, Coach D can use the move, Wheat and Roy Dayao them, can he Popovich use the move?

These four were reimbursed for the season last season!

On the contrary, those young guys, basically except for Dinwiddie last season, proved themselves, if it were you, how would you choose?

However, these young people have no one to bird him at all.

So, all summer, Popovich was almost thinking about how to build a good relationship with these young people.

However, this kind of behavior is obviously a bit offended by Kezi, Mai Zi Da Yao and Roy, the four old gangs.

What do you mean by Bobo?

Is this disgusted that we were reimbursed last season?

The four old gangsters respect you Popovich, and you are not a soft persimmon, since you Popovich looks down on us so much.

Then we won't be without action.

Devon, this kid, we don't dare to do it, you are a mere Bobo, don't we dare to do it?

Well, Kezi and they really don't dare to show their faces to Ibanks, this kid is a good person, but those boys behind him are not so good good people, if those boys give Ibanks a yellow robe, they will be very embarrassed.

The stability of the Lakers is inseparable from the indisputable Ibanks.

Therefore, Ibanks is the big Buddha that no one dares to move in the Lakers now.

It's no joke to collapse this Buddha and release the murderous boys like McCarvey and Antetokounmbo Jokic.

Ibanks can't plate.

But what about Popovich......

Pan him!

Then, Bobo found that no one on the entire team, the old Lakers players, wanted to listen to him.

Then, those who were willing to listen to him were only five players who were new to the Lakers this season.

And the five new Lakers players that Popovich has found this season, his descendants, are not fuel-efficient lamps!

Then, the Lakers, who were originally united under the leadership of Du Kang.

In an instant, it was back to the division that it used to be, and it seems that the old tradition of the Lakers is coming back!

Hearing Jim Dawn complain that the Lakers' old tradition was coming back after he left, Dukang almost burst out laughing.

It's not that Du Kang gloated, but the old traditional Lakers who fought in the past brought too much shadow to the old Lakers like Jim Shu, so that Uncle Jim and these old Lakers already have some meaning of being a soldier.

Actually, it doesn't have to be.

"Jim, don't worry, as long as Devin is here, the Lakers will never be messed up."

“……”

Seeing the confident smile on Du Kang's face, Jim Shu was shocked and even more worried, no, it should be fear!!

Du, you just said German, right?

You didn't just say Kobe, did you?

So, you didn't use Kobe Bryant as a backhand to stabilize the Lakers?!!!

The back hand you used to stabilize the Lakers was actually Ebanks?!!!!

He was originally worried that Ibanks would suddenly not be able to think of being the boss of the Lakers.

Now, TM is even more worried, with the support of Coach D, if he is Ebanks, he will also take Kobe's bird spot!!

He doesn't need Jokic and other restless boys to add to his yellow robe, he can do Kobe himself!!

So, Du, what you leave behind is not a ballast stone!

It's a super-super-huge bomb!!
