Staples Center, Los Angeles, 10:30 pm.

Players from the Lakers and Thunder are already conducting warm-up training on the court, and the game is about to begin.

The two teams were very friendly before the game.

Facing Thunder superstar Westbrook, who has been under great pressure recently, Kobe Bryant said that he is one of the most energetic players on the planet. He does not need to listen to anyone and can get everything by being himself.

At the same time, facing Du Kang, the Lakers' new head coach who has attracted much attention, Thunder head coach Scott Brooks, who is the representative of the NBA's former young coaches, also gave a very high evaluation.

Said that Du Kang now has all the conditions to become a famous NBA coach, what is lacking is just time.

In short, in such a good atmosphere before the game, players from the two teams also interacted constantly while warming up on the court.

On the training ground, Durant did not warm up with other Thunder players, but warmed up with Kobe Bryant talking and laughing.

As for Westbrook and Westbrook, who make Du Kang think all about the Turtles now...

At this time, he was banging the iron with his stubborn little mouth stuck out.

Looking at this stubborn superstar, Du Kang even wondered if the quilt would be full of turtles when he went to bed tonight.

To be fair, he has simulated a lot of games, and has also encountered giant opponents like James and Wade.

But to say that the opponent that made him most nervous, adrenaline-challenged, and unreasonable was his UCLA senior.

The past eight hours of simulation have driven Westbrook crazy.

Many Thunder fans say that Westbrook can drive their fans crazy.

In Du Kang’s opinion, he can also make rival fans crazy!!

Du Kang withdrew his gaze from Westbrook, and then looked at the Lakers' own players on the court.

Kobe Bryant, Artest, Pau Gasol, Howard, Jordan Hill, Clarkson, Chris Duhon, Blake, Meeks...

Except for Nash, who has been protected by him, all of them have been tortured by the turtles.

The Laker he built was really just a little short of being penetrated by Westbrook alone!

"Du, are you okay?"

Seeing Du Kang's dazed expression at this time, Ham was a little worried.

Is it because tonight’s game is too late?

Why do you feel that Du is a little weak?

"Darwin, I'm not here for revenge tonight!"

"..."

After Du Kang gritted his teeth, he walked back to his coaching bench from the sidelines.

Ham, who was behind him, was trembling as he looked at Du Kang's back.

Am I not here for revenge tonight?

Fake, given Du's character, is there any difference between this and directly saying that he is here for revenge tonight?

By the way, who offended him?

Full of doubts, Ham followed.

At this time, the warm-up of the players on both sides of the court was also over, and they came down from the court to make final preparations for the game.

How the Lakers will play in this game, Du Kang has already explained in the locker room.

With Du Kang's current prestige in the Lakers, no one dares to question his decisions in the game.

Including Kobe.

Therefore, facing the Lakers players surrounding him, Du Kang sat in his seat with a calm expression.

It was Clifford who provided the final tactical guidance to the Lakers players.

Well, Du Kang's instructions in the locker room are relatively macro, and Clifford needs specific and detailed arrangements.

For example, in this game, let Nash play the main offense, let Nash move more without the ball, and let the Lakers players provide more cover and support for Nash who moves without the ball.

So how does Nash move, go from the inside out or turn back from the sideline, the bottom line, and how to turn back.

How do the Lakers players support and cover Nash? Which formation should they choose for support and cover?

The last thing is, how to pass the ball to Nash? Should he wait for Nash to completely run out of the open space, or should Nash get rid of the defense and pass the ball?

In short, just a tactical guide that allows Nash to focus on offense and allow Nash to move without the ball requires a large number of subdivided tactics to support it.

Before getting help from Clifford, Du Kang made arrangements in a hurry and relied on the Lakers players' own understanding and technical and tactical abilities.

Fortunately, the Lakers players are all veterans, so they can really understand Du Kang's intentions.

If the Lakers were a team dominated by young players, I am afraid that even if Du Kang could simulate victory, he would not be able to accurately convey the simulated tactical arrangements and various designs.

At that time, there may be a butterfly effect in the game, and the game that was originally simulated to win will be lost.

Seeing the eloquent Clifford at this time, Du Kang was very satisfied.

From today on, Clifford is four-fifths of Zhuge Liang.

Well, upgraded from three-quarters to four-fifths.

Keep up the good work, the next upgrade target is five-sixths.

So, Steve, come on, try to upgrade to 100% Wolong one day!

After drawing tactics and giving eloquent key points on the Lakers' tactics tonight, Clifford looked at Du Kang, who was sitting there with his hands folded and a calm expression on his face, with a somewhat hesitant look on his face.

In fact, not only him, but also the Lakers players were hesitant at this time.

Recalling Du Kang's abnormality just now, Ham even wondered if Du Kang had lost his mind tonight.

"Du, do you really want Steve to face Westbrook tonight and Bryant to defend KD alone?"

Let’s not talk about the offensive tactics deployed by Du Kang in this game, let’s talk about the defensive tactics.

Nash defends Westbrook, can Nash defend him?

Kobe defends Durant alone and also plays point guard, so does Kobe's offense still need to be used?

In short, in Clifford's view, Du Kang's arrangement is very amateurish, but no professional head coach in the NBA will act so randomly in this game.

Hearing Clifford ask this, Du Kang smiled and did not answer Clifford's question directly. Instead, he looked at Nash and Kobe.

"Steve, Bryant, what do you think?"

Nash and Kobe were actually excited for a long time.

In the locker room, when Du Kang arranged the tactics like this, the two of them were already excited.

Nash was very touched that Du Kang trusted his defense and actually let him defend Westbrook alone.

In this world, perhaps only coaches are willing to give him such high defensive trust.

As for Kobe, he had long wanted to have a one-on-one with Durant on the court.

James is his biggest opponent.

Durant is his favorite young player.

In the last game, he defeated James, a competitor on the media's one-on-one list, and in this game, if he kills Durant, a competitor on the one-on-one list, then he must be recognized as the No. 1 player in the one-on-one list, right?
p>

Kobe is very excited about his victory against James in the last game.

"Coach, I will work hard in this game!"

"I will never let KD score 30 points in this game!"

Du Kang nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Clifford.

"Steve, look, Bryant and the others are very confident."

"..."

Clifford wanted to say something for a moment, but didn't know how to speak. At this moment, Howard next to him pulled him back.

"Steve, you are stupid. The coach is obviously trying to embarrass Kobe in this game. Why did you get involved!"

"..."

Howard looked at Du Kang excitedly, because Du Kang had not taken off the golden wristband on his hand and had no intention of giving it to anyone.

In other words, Kobe has no artifact bonus in this game.

Without the bonus of artifacts, how can Kobe compete with Durant?

A month ago, this old guy was beaten to death by Durant on both offense and defense.

If the coach hadn't been bullied by the Heat reporter and finally lent Kobe the artifact because he didn't want to be embarrassed, Kobe would have been embarrassed in his last game against James!

After grabbing Clifford, Howard listened excitedly and attentively to Du Kang's final arrangements.

"As for the team's overall defense, you don't have to worry about anything outside the three-point line. The Thunder can do whatever they want outside the three-point line. Dwight, Alian, and Meta only need to help defend around the paint area and above the free throw line.

Leave the area to Bryant and Steve."
