Chapter 96 Linked tasks and rewards!(2/4)
"..."
Will the Nuggets really be third?
Budenholzer looked at the confident smile on Popovich's face at this time, and he understood what he still lacked before starting the game.
That kind of absolute confidence in one's own judgment.
He didn't.
But Bobo does.
Coach D also has it.
Coach D can play Kobe at critical moments.
Bobo can also play Duncan at critical moments.
This is the famous handsome man!
A famous commander must know how to gamble and dare to gamble!
…
…
After the Lakers rushed to sixth place in the Western Conference, many experts in the NBA believe that the Lakers should now save their strength for the playoffs.
For a veteran team, save what you can.
What's more, now Coach D has defeated Phil Jackson through his strong performance of leading Kobe to win games with him, developed the iron-making and assisting style, and cultivated the fallen genius Yi Jianlian.
Dukang has been recognized by fellow NBA coaches, both in terms of his ability in the tactical system and his ability in training players.
Du Kang's hatred value disappeared instantly.
With the retirement of Phil Jackson, there are no reputable coaches in the NBA who dare to openly bring everyone together to become Coach D.
Public opinion and the media will not blame Dukang for losing a game after 20 consecutive victories.
In such a good living environment, there is no need for Coach D to remain undefeated and waste the players' energy.
On March 8th, the Lakers faced the Raptors at home.
The Los Angeles Lakers at home defeated the Raptors 118-116, winning the team's 21st consecutive game.
The Lakers played very hard in this game.
Because Du Kang continued to let Kobe rest off the court.
The one-week suspension was agreed upon, and it was one week.
The suspension will begin on March 5th and will be suspended until March 12th. Only then will coach D keep his word.
The real reason is, of course, that after the blacksmithing trip earlier, Corvo's body already had three yellow warnings.
Therefore, it is good to let Corvo take a week off and spend some time with the kids in his training camp.
Without Kobe, the Lakers have no one who can stop Gay.
Lowry, DeRozan, Gay, Bargnani, Valanciunas...
This raptor is also really strong.
In order to defeat this raptor, Du Kang consumed 200MP.
In the end, it was thanks to Arab League, Howard, Nash, and Iverson all scoring 20+ points that the Lakers won a difficult victory at home.
The Spurs' home game against the Trail Blazers on the same day on March 8th.
The Spurs lost 106-136 at home to the Trail Blazers, who basically had no hope of the playoffs.
When Du Kang saw the result of the game, he almost couldn't hold it back and let out a sigh.
"Popovich, how dare you!"
Are the home fans feeding me shit like this?
I prick the fans, so just pamper Popovich.
In this game, the Spurs allowed the Trail Blazers to make 13 of 21 three-pointers. The Trail Blazers lit up fireworks with the Spurs.
In this game, the Spurs committed 17 fouls and the Trail Blazers committed 10 turnovers.
The intensity of this game is simply a walk.
"Du, maybe you are right."
Clifford admired him again.
Popovich is indeed betting that the Nuggets can overtake.
But, can the Lakers really be the oriole behind?
He watched the Nuggets schedule today, and he felt that if the Lakers want to overtake the Nuggets, they may need the next game...
Total victory!
Can this really be done?
"Perhaps it is because normal people would think it was impossible that Popovich was so bold to lose to the Trail Blazers at home."
On March 10, the NBA regular season is still going on. The Lakers continue to play at home and face the Bulls, who are fifth in the Eastern Conference and currently have a record of 37 wins and 25 losses.
Bulls head coach Thibodeau and Clifford are brothers.
They were all with Van Gundy Jr. in the Rockets, and Clifford was considered a senior.
Beating the Bulls and Thibodeau, Clifford is too experienced.
"Du, just shrink this game."
Relying on Clifford's experience, Du Kang won the Bulls in the simulated game with 100 MP.
In this defensive battle.
The Lakers defeated the Bulls 90-81.
No one from either team scored more than 20 points.
The highest scorer was Howard with 19 points, 21 rebounds and 4 blocks.
This game really beat him up.
He feels like a giant in this game.
In this game, the Bulls' MVP, Rose, was out for the season due to injury.
Even with the team's boss being reimbursed for the season, Thibodeau was still able to lead the team to the top five in the Eastern Conference. It can only be said that Thibodeau is still ruthless, squeezing players ruthlessly, and building a defensive system ruthlessly.
After beating the Bulls, the Lakers once again embarked on a consecutive road trip in the Eastern Conference.
On March 12, the Lakers' first opponent on their Eastern Conference road trip was the Orlando Magic.
Due to the loss of Howard this season, the Magic's record this season has directly collapsed.
The current record is 18 wins and 46 losses, ranking second to last in the league, diving directly towards Oladipo.
The Magic, who are second to last in the league, and the Lakers, who are currently on a 22-game winning streak, are not at the same level.
But before the game started, public opinion was fierce.
Because this is Howard's first time back in Orlando to play against his old club.
This kind of game is the first time a superstar returns to his old club after leaving the team. The NBA likes to hype it most, and fans also love to watch it.
When Nash left the Suns and returned to Phoenix, Suns fans burned his jerseys.
If Howard returns to the Magic, he will definitely have to burn his jersey.
The media has been hyping the Lakers recently, always hyping up the question of when Coach D's winning streak will end.
This game started to hype how many free throws Howard would take in Orlando.
The Magic want to teach the Lakers a lesson, but Magic fans themselves have no confidence.
If you can't teach the Lakers and Howard a lesson, then you can only disgust Howard.
How to disgust Howard?
Of course let Howard shoot free throws in the game.
When Howard made the free throw, the entire Magic fans booed, cursed, and publicly executed Howard. How cool would that be?
Therefore, on March 12th, when he saw that the local media was calling on the Magic to publicly execute him, Howard was really trembling.
With his knowledge of the Magic.
If he makes less than 40 free throws in this game, it's all a mercy from the Magic!
If he had a bad time with the Lakers, Magic fans might still allow him to enjoy himself and take fewer free throws.
Now he is living such a happy life with the Lakers.
Magic fans should hate him so much.
