Chapter 495: Coach D's Status

Los Angeles, UCLA's training facility, where Dukang brought the Bobcats to the Lakers' residency.

Du Kang is a descendant of UCLA University, and even the head of the university.

And Norman Powell, a rookie of the Bobcats this year, is also a famous veteran who has played four years at UCLA University.

If Du Kang's arrival in Los Angeles is equivalent to returning to his hometown, then returning to UCLA is definitely returning to his own home.

Well, in fact, his home is indeed next to UCLA University, very close, very close.

The relationship between the Lakers and UCLA is very close, and even the Lakers' new training center is built with UCLA.

Therefore, as a visiting team, being able to come to Los Angeles to play away can get such hospitality from UCLA, and the entire NBA is estimated to be Du Kang.

In fact, although Du Kang, as the head coach of UCLA, is highly respected by UCLA, in fact, such respect is just respect, and Du Kang does not have so much say in UCLA.

For example, Norman Powell, who was 53 in that class, Zach LaVine, who was 49 in that class, Darren Collins 98, Wei Shao, was almost unknown in high school, not even in the top 100.

These are the celebrities who have made a name for themselves in the NBA over the years, and those role players are actually even more.

He likes to take players who are not as talented.

Well, Wei Shao is a math genius, in high school, because of his excellent math grades, Stanford is willing to give Wei a scholarship for a minority major, not a sports scholarship, but a math scholarship, and this is the Department of Mathematics of Stanford University, one of the temples in the field of mathematics in the world.

This is very rare, the coaching level may be a little dish, but I am really willing to use newcomers, and I am also willing to give ordinary people a chance, such as Wei Shao, a player like Wei Shao, put it in the old K, it is estimated that it is a bench to sit on, and after four years of college, I got my graduation certificate and went out to find a job.

In the end, Wei Shao resisted all kinds of persuasion from relatives and friends, gave up the opportunity to become a real American master, and instead of engaging in mathematical research, he became Dr. Wei, but went to UCLA, which did not give him any protection.

Even Du Kang's ability to shine in the NBA is considered to be the credit of Ben Holland.

And what's even more commendable is that Ben Holland is different from Lao K, who likes to collect talented monsters, and the top ten five-star high school students.

Naturally, Du Kang was able to shine in the NBA, and most of the credit must be due to the system, but Du Kang still has great respect for Ben Holland.

This is a big drawback, but Ben Holland's merits are indeed respectable, and he is very capable of giving his players the opportunity to grow freely.

He is more held high in the sky by UCLA, UCLA's development and future planning, Du Kang has never interfered, after all, the current head coach of UCLA University is his mentor, Ben Holland.

And what about Ben Holland?

This coaching level of his mentor is really not good, with UCLA, can miss three NCAA Championship national tournaments in five years, this is simply a dish, not to mention winning the championship every year, UCLA plays the national championship in Crazy March every year, isn't this how it should be?

Ben Holland's record in recent years at UCLA has been almost the equivalent of the annual lottery with the Lakers and Celtics.

It can only be said that Wei Shao really loves basketball and really loves his brothers, his good brother in high school accidentally fainted and died on the court, Wei Shao has always held the dream of realizing himself and his brother to enter the NBA, and insisted on playing basketball.

In fact, after the end of the 12-13 season, there were rumors that Ben Holland was going to be opened by UCLA, but the magic thing came, Du Kang rose strongly with the Lakers in 2013, and finally retained his position as the head coach of UCLA University for Ben Holland.

In the end, the senior management of UCLA took a look at Ben Holland, although his coaching ability is not very good, but he is a team builder, and his ability to train players and assistants is good.

At that time, Wei Shao's whole world was crying for Wei Shao, should you be so stubborn?!!!

This is very rare, like Du Kang's good friend Zhu Hopei, who was the top three high school students in that class, and Lefu, who was also the top three high school students in that class, they should have played out, and it can't be regarded as Ben Holland's training.

In these 12 years, Ben Holland has cultivated a lot of NBA players, although in the past 12 years, UCLA has not had a good record, but the likes of Ariza, Famar, Afflaro, Darren Collins, Bamot, Westbrook, Love, Johoriday, Zach LaVine, Lee Kyle, and of course, Norman Powell, who was selected by the Bobcats in this year's draft.

Ben Holland has coached UCLA since the 0304 season, and now, he has coached UCLA for 12 seasons, 12 seasons, and has not won any NCAA championship.

It can be said that UCLA can definitely be ranked in the top three universities that have cultivated the most stars for the NBA in the past 12 years.

But Wei Shao, who was not so famous in high school at the beginning, was able to enter the NBA, beat those five-star high school students to successfully draft and shine in the NBA, which can definitely be regarded as Ben Holland's credit.

Isn't it a brother's dream?

Your brother TM is gone, regardless of his own life, and still thinking about TM's fulfillment of his brother's NBA dream, what if you can't get into the NBA?

Just you, a little bean who is only 1.72 meters, are you also worthy of the NBA?

In the NBA, which of those little men is not a shooting explosion, how about shooting yourself, don't you know?

Even if you practice your arms every day in order to shoot the basketball, your arms are painful, straight, and you can't put them down, what can you do?

The NBA has never believed in hard work and tears!

It's true that the NBA never believed in hard work and tears, but God showed up this time.

Wei Shao skyrocketed by 16 centimeters in one summer.

If you say that 1.72 meters is a shortcoming, there is no hope for the NBA at all.

Then the 1.9-meter-high Wei Shao makes people see a little bit of hope, and the hard work and tears are also a little bit useful, because there is a little bit of talent.

At the same time, Wei Shao is lucky to have met Ben Holland, who is also one of the few people who believes in hard work and tears.

Even more fortunately, he went to the NBA and met Durant, who is also a person who believes in hard work and tears.

In the end, Wei Shao finally became Megatron, the eternal senior and first idol in Du Kang's heart.

As long as you understand Wei Shao's growth experience, as an ordinary person, it is difficult not to respect Wei Shao, he is really a person who has changed his life against the pressure of the world.

He is also really stubborn, and it is difficult for anyone who encounters a situation like Wei Shao to resist the pressure of Wei Shao to make such a choice.

Of course, it was also lucky to meet Ben Holland and Durant.

If you meet Lao K and James, or most of the head coaches and most of the NBA bosses, Wei Shao will send it, go to TM's efforts and tears!

And this is also the reason why Du Kang likes UCLA very much, this team has poor results and the level of coaches is not enough, so even if a large number of NBA stars such as Coach D and Wei Shao are cultivated, UCLA's attraction to real talents is getting worse and worse.

This year is particularly miserable, as the first giant of the NCAA, there is no way to attract even a five-star high school student, just to attract two high school students who are ranked 36th in the United States and 60th in the United States, not to mention five-star high school students, and even excellent four-star high school students are not able to attract.

100 star high school students a year, it attracts two, and it is very ordinary, which is estimated to be the level of the University of Washington.

Today's young stars are very utilitarian, which is why NCAA fans don't like the current NCAA stars.

Now excellent NCAA stars don't want to be cultivated by the NCAA, they don't come to the NCAA to study, but to gild, and it is best to enter the NBA directly after playing for a year, so in the NCAA, the phenomenon of five-star high school students huddling together is extremely serious.

Five-star high school students huddle together to find a famous coach with excellent coaching ability, and then in a year or two they successfully gilded in the NCAA, successfully entered the NBA, and made a lot of money.

As for the cultivation of personal strength and the improvement of personal tactical literacy, it is not important.

In this regard, UCLA is still sticking to the traditional basketball before the NCAA because the head coach of the team is average, and there is no willingness to form a team.

Norman Powell, for example, was drafted by the Bobcats after playing four years in the draft.

Many of the players who have entered the NBA in UCLA in the past ten years have played for three or four years, and there are actually a few people like Wei Shao and Lefu who have entered the NBA after playing for one year or two.

And this makes the atmosphere of the UCLA team very good.

For example, when Norman Powell and Lee Kyle returned to the team, they immediately felt at home.

If you go to Duke, then I'm sorry, you left, and now the team is a young five-star genius, the No. 1 high school student in the United States, and they won't respect a so-called senior who has played for four years who has left, and playing for four years shows that he has no talent, and such a player who has no talent also deserves my respect.

It can only be said that the former NBA, the bald NBA to be in charge of the NBA is becoming more and more uncharacteristic, without the taste of the previous NBA, which is more and more annoying to the old fans of the NBA.

And the current NCAA, in the world where capital is now popular, even the NCAA, which is considered the pure land of American basketball, has received a great impact.

"Du, that's why we love you so much, in the current NCAA, we actually need a coach like you."

Looking at the Bobcats and UCLA players who were training on the court at this time, Ben Holland sighed.

In such a rush for quick success, there are fewer and fewer head coaches in the NCAA who are still sticking to the old one.

In the past, in the NCAA, the head coach was the sky, full of idealism, and what he worked hard to achieve was his own basketball ideals, tactical ideals, and by the way, he used his tactical ideals to shock the world, and the head coach was an absolute god, and the players could not be compared with the head coach at all.

And now, the NCAA's head coach and talented players are slowly starting to turn into a relationship between collaborators.

Therefore, now within the NCAA, many old-school head coaches like Ben Holland, who are unwilling to transform like Coach K, have been looking forward to one thing, that is, I hope that Du Kang can return to the NCAA to change the current atmosphere of the NCAA in the same way that he changed the atmosphere of the NBA.

"Du, if you want to go back to UCLA, I'm willing to be a teaching assistant for you."

Du Kang looked at his teacher in front of him, who had a very serious expression, and was slightly stunned.

When I returned to Los Angeles this time, I didn't expect there to be so many things related to him.

It's not just the Lakers who want him, even UCLA, and even the NCAA, it seems that many people are looking forward to him.

Moreover, Du Kang can also clearly feel Ben Holland's sincerity.

It's the position of the head coach of UCLA, and he really doesn't seem to care at all.

In the face of Ben Holland's invitation, Du Kang naturally couldn't give any response, seeing Du Kang's reaction, Ben Holland sighed, he naturally knew that it was impossible for the time being.

In fact, when Du Kang chose to go to the Bobcats, many old-school head coaches in the NCAA felt that it was a pity, what kind of Bobcats to go, to the NCAA, a mere Michael Jordan, how could it be a big achievement to change the NCAA.

So Ben Holland actually invited Du Kang not only on behalf of himself and UCLA, but also on behalf of the NCAA old-school college coaches.

Because while Dukang and Ben Holland were chatting, UCLA's training ground came to a lot of NCAA coaches one after another.

The NBA opener between the Lakers and the Bobcats is not only very influential in the NBA, but also in the NCAA.

Then, these NCAA coaches also took advantage of this game to come to Du Kang and test Du Kang's attitude.

Now these old-school NCAA coaches, even Du Kang himself is surprised by what Du Kang is looking forward to.

If it had been before Jordan's comeback, it would have been an attraction to Dukang, but now ......

Du Kang refused the NCAA's invitation with no response, and after these NCAA coaches knew Du Kang's attitude, they did not reduce their respect for Du Kang.

Moreover, it is a discussion tactic gathered in the middle of Du Kang.

Because of the popularity of the NBA in China in recent years, even the popularity of the NCAA in China has also risen one after another.

Although the NCAA is still not a mainstream basketball league in China, it is definitely not like before, and I don't even know what the NCAA is.

Now many fans, professionals know that in the United States, the status of the NCAA is even above that of the NBA.

For the pursuit of these NCAA coaches, other American reporters and players on the scene actually took it for granted.

But this is still very shocking for Mr. Zhang Lili and other Chinese journalists.

"We used to talk about Coach Xiao Du's status in the American basketball world, and we didn't have any concept before, but now, we finally know a little bit."

"Coach Xiao Du's current status in the American basketball world may not be so exaggerated......"

Especially for many new reporters, when they see Du Kang's report in China, many people think it may be too exaggerated.

And now, the reality is here, Du Kang, the Chinese head coach, has influence and status, and it is really not only in China!

"It's just, such a pursuit, the night game, lost, so what should I do......"

In such a big battle, Coach Xiao Du can discuss the tactical system with the NCAA coaches so leisurely......
