Halftime break. In the locker room of the Los Angeles Lakers at Staples, the faces of the Lakers players were filled with joy.

Each one of them was smiling like a flower, and each one of them looked like the kind of person who had walked out of hell and entered heaven.

At this time, there is no longer any uneasy look when facing Monty Williams' sneak attack. If the scene is switched to the scene where the Lakers were trembling at the hands of Monty Williams at the beginning of this game, it will definitely make people feel

Incredible.

However, things are so interesting. NBA players' emotions change so quickly.

In this cheerful Lakers locker room, there is no doubt that, apart from the head coach Du Kang, the two Lakers players who performed the best in the first half are the ones who attract the most attention.

The fringe players looked at Ebanks with envy. Ariza, who was about to leave the NBA, once again got a chance. Although he didn't score a single point in the entire quarter, the coach was very satisfied.<

/p>

In the Lakers, a team where the head coach has become the boss, as long as they get the favor of the coach, it is basically equal to the hope of taking off.

At the very least, you won’t worry about leaving the team or the NBA. Even if you can’t be a role player in the future, you can still get a water dispenser contract. Look at the water dispenser, it’s also a high salary with an annual salary of one million.

How can this not be enviable? The role players are looking at Yi Jianlian with envy, the coach's fellow countryman. After being restricted by the Thunder's Ibaka in the last game, this game again defeated the Lakers' Novi Jr.

Ski's performance.

In the second quarter, Yi Jianlian made 7 of 9, 1 of 2 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 17 points. He defeated the Pelicans' Ryan Anderson and became a Staples hero.

I originally thought that Nash and Kobe were not the team's best players, and coupled with the Pelicans' sneak attacks that did not follow the rules of the regular season, this game might be lost.

I didn’t expect that the coach could be so strong! I thought Monty Williams was already strong, but the coach turned out to be even stronger!

I originally thought that the coach was just playing with his heart. Unexpectedly, basketball tactics are actually not bad. Then think about the coach’s background. He was born in U, the top team in the NCAA, and is a disciple and grandson of John Wooden, the first godfather of basketball in the United States.

Isn't it ridiculous that people from such a wealthy family dare to say that the coach is just a head coach who is playing tricks?

The Lakers played very well in the first half. Monty Williams' sneak attack did not defeat the team, but instead gave the Lakers a 5-point lead 45-40.

From the perspective of the Lakers players, no matter how strong Monty Williams is, he is only as good as he was in the first half. He can't be able to take out two knives to chop people in the second half, right?

If this is really the case, how will everyone face the term "rookie coach" in the future? Not to mention other people.

Even Yi Jianlian thinks so. The Pelicans should have exhausted their routines in the first half. If there are still twists and turns in the second half, Monty Williams will make another mistake.

Then won't the rookie coach have to go straight to the sky like the Konoha genin? Now the important players of the Lakers are thinking about whether they can produce some good data and perform well in the second half.

Finally, the boss of Ke and Na are not here. If you don’t show yourself and get the data at this time, how long will it take?

Even the Arab League thinks so. Du Kang asked him to complete 10 mid-range shots in a single game 10 times this regular season.

He has not completed a game now. This is a bit embarrassing. Yi Jianlian carefully calculated his data in the first half and made a total of 5 mid-range shots, completed a dunk, and completed a 3-pointer.

It's still far away from hitting 10 mid-range shots in a single game. If I had known that dunk, I wouldn't have been cool. There was no one to defend me, and I could have hit the mid-range shot.

There is also the three-point pull-up. Ryan Anderson was already at a loss, and he could pull up even if he suddenly stepped into the three-point line.

It's all caused by being too excited. When I get emotional, I can't hold it back and act a little bit cool.

Look, this is still Arab League. Arab League is actually very reserved. For example, Howard, standing next to Du Kang at this time, his face is about to burst with flattery.

"Coach, I only played 12 minutes in the first half, and it was the rubbish 12 minutes in the first quarter. There were no data. I almost fell asleep standing there. Coach, I want to play the whole game in the second half!"<

/p>

"Dwight, are you teaching me how to do things?"

"Coach, whatever you say is what it is. I will always be loyal to you. I am your Huo Zhongcheng!" Seeing Du Kang's eyes narrowed, Howard immediately understood that the coach with this expression must not be messed with!

At this time, you must show loyalty. Although it is disgusting, it is very effective for a simple young tool like the coach!

"Don't worry, you have plenty of opportunities in the second half." Seeing Du Kang open his eyes again and smile, Howard breathed a sigh of relief.

"Coach, are you really not angry with me anymore?"

"Does it mean that in Dwight's mind, I am the kind of black-hearted head coach who cares about everything?"

"Of course not!" Howard's funny look next to Du Kang made the entire Lakers locker room burst into laughter.

And Howard himself didn't feel embarrassed at all, and laughed happily. It may be incredible to say it.

In the Pelicans locker room not far away, there were also constant laughter at this time. Falling behind by five points in the first half, what a big deal.

Did we play the main force in the first half? Except for the first quarter, everyone was grinding and grinding until they almost fell asleep.

In the second quarter, except for Ryan Anderson, all other players were rotation players, and Rivers Jr. was already considered an important member of them.

Even Rivers and Ryan Anderson are actually the team's substitutes. In other words, for the Pelicans, they entered the second half without any consumption at all.

The key is that his head coach didn't expect to be so strong, and he responded to the Lakers' play style one after another. If he didn't kill the Lakers and get Coach D's first kill, the main players of the Pelicans would feel sorry for their head coach.

Wonderful thoughts in the first half.

However, compared with the confident Pelicans players, although there was a smile on his face at this time, Monty Williams was not so confident in his heart.

Or maybe he has no self-confidence at all. Children, the talented head coach in your mind is actually a parallel import!

The rookie head coach you just kept saying you wanted to kill, he is the real super genius, the kind who has reached the level of a boss at a young age!

So, kids, your useless rookie head coach is so flustered right now! If it weren’t for the fact that he still has two tips, I would have wanted to cry!

At this time, Monty Williams was very timid, but the sunny and confident smile on his face could not change, and he could not say these words.

It’s not easy to get such an opportunity in life. If you don’t gain a reputation with the team, will you continue to be a nanny-type head coach in the future?

He's not a fool! He doesn't dare to think about defeating Coach D. It's useless for him to think about such a thing. Now he just wants to win 50-50, and it doesn't matter even if he loses 50-50.

But the performance of the two teams in the first half made him very scared. Especially when he thought about the way Coach D looked at him when he shook hands with him before the game, and his smile, it really made people care.

Fortunately, he still has two tips in his bag. But even if he still has two tips in his bag...I am still very weak now!

He was an ordinary person standing on the battlefield of five bosses, making people mistakenly think that he was also a boss. Just when Monty Williams accidentally fell into the void confrontation between the bosses and was inadvertently taken away by the bosses.

While he was worrying about gains and losses, his cell phone rang.

When Monty Williams looked at the caller ID, he was stunned for a moment, and then became excited instantly. Damn it!

My savior is here! When I saw Monty Williams receiving a phone call, I was so excited that I hid in a corner and whispered.

The Pelicans players at the scene were very confused, but they didn't dare to say anything. So far in this game, Monty Williams' performance has greatly increased his prestige in the team.

Even if you don't defeat Coach D in the end, you can still have a 50-50 draw with Coach D. Is this something an average head coach can do?

Even if NBA players have IQ problems, they still know that Monty Williams will definitely be out of the pool in the future.

At the very least, no one will treat him as a nanny-type coach anymore.

"Mr. Nelson, is it really unnecessary?"

"It turns out it's useless. Yes, I understand, but, is this really useful?"

"Don't worry, I will definitely implement your plan!" Well, I didn't dare to shout out, but the trembling and firm voice should make the other party feel my determination.

Hang up the phone call to Nelson. Monty Williams is honestly still very shocked.

Mr. Nelson actually took the initiative to admit defeat, scrapped his last tip, and then gave him fine-tuning and updated the tip.

However, if you think about it for a moment, it is actually normal. Even Mr. Larry Brown and Mr. Pat Riley have failed.

In his mind, a rookie, Coach D's strength is slowly rising. He can see how powerful Coach D is. Can Mr. Nelson still see it?

Obviously, Mr. Nelson’s previous tip was to test the strength of Coach D and the curiosity of the elders towards the younger ones. But this time... is Mr. Nelson going to be serious?

No matter what, Mr. Nelson has updated his tips and strengthened his tips, which is equivalent to strengthening his strength.

Well, when I think about it, my confidence suddenly rises! Will Bobo call me later?

Monty Williams stood in the corner looking at his cell phone and giggling, which made the Pelicans players like Brother Big Eyebrow surprised and curious.

"This is the peculiarity of genius." Eric Gordon said lightly after taking a look at the thick eyebrow brother's eyebrows.

At this moment, Monty Williams' cell phone rang again. Seeing the name on the phone, Monty Williams became excited again.

…………

"I'm also here to update tactics?" Popovich was stunned for a moment, then smiled, but he wasn't surprised.

"Mr. Nelson updated your tactics?" Mr. Nelson?! My second uncle, Mr. Nelson, was even alarmed?

Budenholzer's surprised face next to Popovich was shocked. Coach D is really so virtuous that even his old man was alarmed!

His teacher Popovich has two mentors in the NBA, one is Larry Brown and the other is Nelson.

Therefore, Larry Brown is his grandfather. Mr. Nelson is his second uncle. The grandfather is closer to everyone.

But when it comes to who I respect more, of course it’s the second uncle! If there is a goat in the coaching field.

If you talk about goat based on the number of championships, then Phil Jackson is definitely the best. If you talk about goat based on influence, prestige, control over the team, and the most profound cultural heritage of the team, the Cardinal is definitely

The only candidate.

But if you talk about goat in terms of pioneering and innovating basketball concepts, leading changes in the era of basketball, changing basketball techniques, tactics, and coaching, then it must be Mr. Nelson.

Therefore, no matter how you rank him, even if the second uncle never wins a championship, he is still one of the four greatest head coaches in the NBA and one of the two most respected head coaches in the coaching world.

No, there are not three of them. Where are the four greatest head coaches? Of course there is also this old master who is on the phone.

Bobo was not a goat in the first three selections, but he was very strong in each one!
