Because in the Lakers training hall, Du Kang noticed the strange behavior of some team staff, so Du Kang, who originally planned not to simulate a game with the Pelicans, chose to simulate a game.

It doesn't matter if this is not a simulation. Once it was simulated, Du Kang was really scared to death. Originally, Du Kang thought that the Pelicans, now 16 wins and 33 losses, should have the upper hand even if Nash and Kobe had a truce and the morale of the Lakers was high. In addition,

With home field advantage, the possibility of losing is unlikely.

The Lakers have Howard, Yi Jianlian, Gasol, Artest, and Antawn Jamison.

In addition to Antawn Jamison, who has an ability value of 79, the Lakers also have 4 players with an ability value of above 80.

Logically speaking, it should be no problem to capture a mediocre Pelican. Who would have known that the Pelicans would make Du Kang and his Lakers look bad at this point.

117 to 97, this is the first simulated score. In this simulated game, Howard made 9 of 13, 6 of 11 free throws, scored 24 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists. Yi Jianlian made 5 of 11 and 0 of 3 three-pointers.

Scored 12 points and 6 rebounds, Jamison made 6 of 14, 16 points and 7 rebounds, Gasol made 1 of 4, 5 of 8 free throws, 7 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, Artest made 1 of 8, 6 three-pointers

Score 1,3 points.

This group of star players from the Lakers, who had high hopes from Du Kang, played like a defense. Except for Howard, the others were directly outplayed by Pelicans guard Eric Gordon.

Because of the lack of two guards, Kobe and Nash, the Lakers, who already lacked guards, are even more lacking in guards, organization, and speed.

And the agile Eric Gordon made the Los Angeles Lakers' scalp numb, and no one could stop him. He made 6 of 8 three-pointers in the game, which meant that no one in the Lakers could defend him, even if he could follow him.

Meeks and Blake, there is no point in following them out.

Then the Pelicans also have insiders like Robin Lopez and Anthony Davis. Robin Lopez made 7 of 10 shots in this game and scored 16 points and 9 rebounds, including 6 offensive rebounds.

Howard got stuck.

There is also Anthony Davis, who is very good at sweeping. Originally, the Lakers lacked the speed of guards to mobilize the defense. The Lakers' big men are piled together, and they are most suitable for sweeping Anthony Davis. Anthony Davis does not need to do anything.

If you run, you can knock down the Lakers' offense.

Therefore, the Lakers' big men, except for Howard, all have average offensive efficiency. On the contrary, substitute Earl Clark made 8 of 11 shots in the game and 4 of 5 three-pointers, which helped the Lakers regain some face.

Otherwise, the Lakers, whose offense and defense were maxed out in this game, would never be as simple as losing by 20 points.

After the simulation, Du Kang reviewed the game and suddenly discovered that although the Pelicans team had a poor record, its lineup was really not weak, and it was very reasonable!

The inside is a standard inside combination of Robin Lopez and Anthony Davis. On the forward line, there is also a practical combination of one defense and one offense like Aminu and Ryan Anderson.

On the back line, Eric Gordon is good at offense, Vasquez is good at organization, and Austin Rivers is good at assault.

It can be said that this Pelican has all types of players in it. It is extremely practical and very suitable for playing targeted basketball.

Especially suitable for a team with big shortcomings like the Lakers.

"What should I do? I feel like without Kobe and Nash, the Lakers can't beat the Pelicans!"

"Should we call Kobe and Nash back?" After seven consecutive victories and facing a weak opponent, Du Kang's confidence disappeared after this simulation with the Pelicans.

"He still doesn't have enough thighs!" If he had enough thighs, without Nash and Kobe, he wouldn't be in such an embarrassing situation by a mere belly pelican.

Two of the original three thighs were missing, and he suddenly became lame. As a result, he can neither advance nor retreat.

It's definitely not possible to bring Kobe and Nash back. It's not a matter of losing face.

The main thing is that the two of them were really tired in the last game. They fought fiercely with the Thunder for a whole game. Playing back-to-back like this again will not be worth the gain to the Lakers.

"Am I going to rely on my own strength to break the game in this game?" This is the first time Du Kang has encountered this situation.

.

Fortunately, he can still simulate and there is still room for mistakes.

"The head coach of the Pelicans, Monty Williams, is also a rookie head coach. I also have external assistants. There is no reason for me to be inferior to him, right?" Thinking of this, Du Kang was a little excited.

There are many famous coaches in the NBA, and even if they are not famous coaches, many of them are senior coaches. With his current strength and his true strength, he will definitely be unable to fight with them.

Therefore, it is indeed very rare to have a rookie opponent like Monty Williams. Du Kang feels that Monty Williams can be his whetstone!

Moreover, judging from the simulated game just now, the Pelicans do not seem to be a team with very powerful routines, which shows that Monty Williams is not a very powerful coach.

Calculating it this way, he has a plug-in that can simulate it, Monty Williams has a more reasonable lineup, and the two of them can be considered 50-50.

Therefore, he should be able to maintain his confidence in Monty Williams.

"This time we met by chance, it's a blessing from God!" Thinking of this, Du Kang began to study this Pelican team seriously and prepare for the next simulation.

After reviewing the game just now, Du Kang felt that although the Lakers' current lineup is not that reasonable, the advantage is still obvious, that is, they are tall enough.

The lineup he previously arranged was Howard, Yi Jianlian, Artest, Meeks, and Blake. This is the standard after Kobe and Nash are gone.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Now Du Kang feels that this won't work. It would be too much of a disadvantage and a waste to pit Yi Jianlian against Brother Nongmei.

Without Nash and Kobe, the UAE can be the main attacker. As the main attacker, you have to tap into the opponent's colander like James, which is the most beneficial way of playing for the team.

People like Kobe and Durant who play unlimited singles and play singles against anyone they meet, or even pick on the stronger ones, are sick and need to be treated!

He just made the United Arab Emirates, the offensive powerhouse, encounter a thick eyebrow, which is sick and needs treatment. The center is still Howard, the power forward is replaced by Gasol, the small forward is replaced by Yi Jianlian, shooting guard Meeks, and point guard Blake.
p>

Artest's substitute. Gasol can use his strength to bully thick eyebrows, and Yi Jianlian can use his height to bully Aminu. This is just right.

As for the tactical system, of course there is no tactical system! By the way, in the last simulated game, Earl Clark had a good touch. He could shoot three-pointers and open up space for the team. He could add some time. Maybe this time

Simulation can also give you some surprises.

After Du Kang carefully checked that there were no problems with his troop formation, he began to continue the simulation.

Time and space changed, and Du Kang once again became the latest spectator of Staples. Du Kang looked at the court expectantly, wanting to see if the lineup he carefully arranged could kill the rookie Monty Williams with revenge!

Then... Du Kang was dumbfounded when he saw the five Pelicans players on the court. Why is it different from what was promised!

In this game, the five players of the Pelicans are center Big Eyebrow, power forward Ryan Anderson, small forward Aminu, shooting guard Eric Gordon, and point guard Vasquez.

"Holy shit, why did Monty Williams change his formation?!" This is the first time Du Kang has encountered this situation.

When Du Kang simulated in the past, the opposing team basically stayed in the same formation. Even when the formation changed, it was Du Kang who influenced the Heat through the war of words in the real world.

At other times, the opponents Du Kang encountered during simulations actually did not change their formation. Just like D'Antoni would cling to his own style of play, most NBA head coaches are actually not as good as D'Antoni.<

/p>

Legend has it that only in the playoffs will they often change their formations and often adopt targeted playing styles.

In the regular season, everyone is actually practicing more of their usual routines. Even if there are changes, they are changes in personnel matchups.

Unlike Monty Williams, Nima's lineup directly changed from a normal lineup with no characteristics in the previous game to this obvious run-and-gun style!

"It's too fast, the Pelicans' offense is too fast, Eric Gordon gets out of the way again, he's like a dancer, he stuns poor Meeks, oh my god, three-pointer,

Another three points!"

"It's running! The Pelicans are running again. Our fighters are too bulky and we can't catch up with them. Aminu dunked!"

"Wow, incredible dunk. China Yi broke through Ryan Anderson's defense, knocked away Anthony Davis' defense, and completed an incredible dunk. Yi saved us a little bit of face!"... In the system

In the simulation, Du Kang watched from close range the Lakers being beaten by the Pelicans again at home.

If the last simulation, when the Pelicans played against the Lakers, was still secretive and did not recognize their own advantages and did not take advantage of their speed and shooting advantages, then in this game, the Pelicans simply put themselves at risk.

His speed and shooting advantages were brought to the extreme.

This is for the Lakers' lineup that lacks Nash and Kobe! This makes Du Kang feel that the person standing opposite him is not Monty Williams, but the old Nelson of the former Warriors!

The Lakers' big men were caught off guard by the sudden attack by the Pelicans' defenders and shooters.

Du Kang's simulation design for this game was completely designed to deal with the Pelicans in the last game, and could not match the running and gunning Pelicans in the second game!

"Nah!" What's going on with this Monty Williams? Doesn't he also have a system?

Then I predicted him, and he predicted my prediction? Thinking of this, Du Kang shook his head, impossible. If he really had a system, he would have become famous long ago, and he would not be a member of a weak team.

Nanny type head coach.

Having seen Aunt Jenny and those people being sneaky before, Du Kang knew that Nash and Kobe would not be able to hide from others at night, so he had anticipated being targeted.

But Du Kang didn't expect it to be so targeted. Is this Monty Williams really a rookie?

How can a rookie change the system so easily? Even if D'Antoni knew in advance that Duncan would not play positional offense, this is the reality of most NBA head coaches.

D'Antoni is still a boss-level head coach. So, what is going on? Du Kang can't understand.

A headache. So the question is, how to simulate the next game? In the next game, will Monty Williams use the regular lineup like the first game, or the run-and-gun lineup like the second game?
p>

"Fake! If my two thighs are still there, I don't care if you are in a regular lineup or a run-and-gun lineup, I will still kill you!" Where is the headache like now.

This time, Du Kang finally realized how important Kobe and Nash were to the Lakers.

In fact, he understood it before, but he didn't express it so intuitively. This time, Du Kang finally realized the difficulty of being a head coach of ordinary NBA teams.

With just such a few people under your command, it is impossible to cover everything. Sometimes, you can only gamble your life that your opponent does not have the means to restrain you.

Bet your opponent is an ordinary head coach like you, not a very poisonous head coach like Nelson or Popovich.

Otherwise, if you want to arrange your troops before every game, you will have to think hard. Therefore, do not underestimate those NBA head coaches who have risen in small teams. They are all capable head coaches, at least.
