Chapter 32 Coach Xiao Du standing in the atmosphere?(2/3)
Others are doing shooting training. Do you want Howard to do shooting training with peace of mind?
Kobe can hit 1,000 in a day. If you ask Howard to hit 1,000 in a day, won't that cost his life?
If you ask Howard to do 100 in a day, he will feel that it is killing him.
In order not to make himself unhappy, Howard usually only practices half-heartedly when practicing free throws and shooting, basically just playing.
The top five Lakers stars, Nash and Artest are training with the UAE.
Kobe and Gasol were doing shooting and offensive and defensive exercises, but Howard was doing nothing.
Regarding Howard's current situation, Du Kang also turned a blind eye and didn't care.
As long as Howard can perform all his tasks, he is not Howard's father, so he can't control everything.
Even if it's a father, it's annoying for a son to take too much care.
So far, Howard has performed his tasks perfectly and cannot find any faults.
After the warm-up training and personal training, the next training session for the Lakers is the traditional yellow-blue game.
Kobe, Gasol, Artest and others are still in a group, and Howard, Nash and Yi Jianlian are in a group.
Lakers players and coaches are already familiar with the Lakers' yellow-blue confrontation.
But Du Kang once again executed this yellow-blue confrontation, which surprised the Lakers players and coaches.
The players were surprised because Gasol had already given in in the last game.
Du Kang asked Yi Jianlian to start and Gasol as a substitute. Gasol did not cause trouble and even performed very hard when Yi Jianlian was not available in the second quarter. For an NBA star, this is already a sign of submission.
"Isn't this enough? Gasol really needs to personally say that he doesn't want to start and focus on the bench?"
"Is it possible that the coach is not actually targeting Gasol?"
"very possible!"
Lakers players now have some understanding of Du Kang's character. He is not a reckless person like D'Antoni who doesn't give players face.
Gasol's softness in the last game was definitely enough.
So the only explanation is that this yellow-blue confrontation may not be aimed at Gasol. At least, it is not entirely aimed at Gasol?
Who is that aimed at?
Naturally it goes without saying.
Kobe!
For a moment, everyone turned their attention to Kobe.
Even the two Lakers assistant coaches Hamm and Clifford are the same.
With everyone watching, Kobe had no expression on his face.
Howard was extremely excited and excited.
"Kobe Bryant actually relented in the last game and took the initiative to deal with it reasonably..."
Clifford whispered to Howard.
"The coach must think it's not enough. Kobe needs to personally say that he will give me the position of team boss!"
Is it really?
Clifford, who always prided himself on being smart, was confused at this time.
He thought the coach was standing on the third floor, but in fact, was he on the fourth floor?
Looking at Howard who was extremely excited at this time.
Looking at Howard, who was looking forward to being able to abuse Kobe again soon.
It seems that Howard has no plans to leave the Lakers at this time, and is only thinking about performing well on the court and in the training ground, beating Kobe Bryant twice.
Clifford's witty brain suddenly had an idea!
Farke!
The coach was actually targeting Dwight!
This, this, this...
Clifford was dumbfounded by this idea.
The coach's yellow-blue confrontation is to stabilize Dwight!
Give Dwight confidence!
Give Dwight hope!
Give Dwight a leg up!
Let Kobe continue to lose to Dwight. With Dwight's character, he will definitely gain confidence, feel hope, and build prestige with the Lakers.
Naturally, he will try his best for the Lakers, because he feels that this is already his team!
Dwight has been stabilized!
These days, Howard almost never told him that he regretted coming to the Lakers and would leave next season.
In the past few years, he has never seen Howard play so hard, so hard, and with such a team!
Dwight, he, has been manipulated by the coach without knowing it!
"This is why both Gasol and Kobe have given in, but the coach still has to fight against yellow and blue!"
You think you are cultivating Nash, Yi Jianlian, and Howard's running and gunning chemistry. This is the first level.
You thought this was knocking Gasol, this is the second level.
You think this is knocking Kobe, this is the third level.
In fact, the coach's ultimate goal is to stabilize Dwight, and the coach actually stands on the fourth floor!
etc?
Is the coach really just standing on the fourth floor?
Is it possible that there is a fifth level that he didn't expect?
Or even the atmosphere?
Clifford was thinking there in a daze, and the more he thought about it, the more terrifying he became, and cold sweat began to break out on his back.
He, Howard's brain trust, only discovered it now!
very scary!
"Steve, are you okay?"
Du Kang looked back from the training ground, squinted, and looked at Steve Clifford next to him as if he was concerned.
On the surface, he is his assistant, but in fact, he is Howard's confidant.
A very smart white coach.
He was also very loyal to Howard and took great pains.
"Steve?"
"Ah, I'm fine, I just thought of something."
"Yeah?"
Du Kang smiled and continued without comment.
"You, sometimes you just think too much. Look at Darwin, he doesn't think about anything except completing my mission. How happy he is every day."
"..."
Steve Clifford opened his mouth wide and couldn't say anything for a while.
Out of the corner of my eye, I could see that big, silly guy with an increasingly thick neck. He was indeed eating well, sleeping well, and looking very happy every day.
"Steve, you don't want to be just an assistant coach who worries about others your whole life, right?"
"..."
Look at the smile on Du Kang's face.
Clifford struggled to close his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, he had already made his decision.
"Coach, you are right."
He has been a player nanny for almost 10 years.
Really, I'm tired of it.
Dwight, I'm sorry...
"Steve, Mr. Jim Bass and I are actually not bad people. Maybe the path we lead is brighter."
