Why not earlier, or why not later?

Generally in the NBA, the point difference is said to be within five points or within 10 points.

5 points and 10 points are a hurdle.

No one has ever heard that 7 points is a hurdle.

After the Lakers completed their substitutions, everyone looked at Du Kang next to them, trying to see something from his face.

But at this moment, Celtic legend Larry Bird thought of something in the stands.

"Before Jerry Buss came to power and became the owner of the Lakers, the difference in the number of championships between the Lakers and Celtics was 7!"

"Coach D is still paying tribute to Jerry Buss!"

Damn it!

After Larry Bird finished speaking, the surrounding Celtics stars were dumbfounded.

Is it really Coach D who gave you seven points?!

Not only are you tied up in this game, but in the fourth quarter, even if you can kill you, you still have to score seven points!

OMG!

After being dumbfounded for a moment, the Celtics stars around them all immediately looked at Danny Ainge next to him.

"Danny, if the Celtics don't win this game, you will be fully responsible!!!"

Larry Bird just set a fire.

I just glanced at Danny Ainge, who was dumbfounded by the sudden spray.

Then he immediately set his sights on the court.

"Coach D, where did you get the confidence to control this game like this!"

Larry Bird is curious.

Coach D’s commanding art is the most popular research vocabulary in the NBA coaching circle recently.

It is as if God has insight into all the conducting arts, which is jaw-dropping.

Larry Bird naturally also studied it.

In this game, Coach D didn’t have so many exaggerated sideline actions.

But this game has been under the control of Coach D from the first second until now.

It’s not just the three major tributes on the surface.

There are also countless small tributes like Kobe Bryant hitting all six of the Lakers' final mid-range shots in the second quarter and substituting when they were 7 points behind.

Such a tribute is not something you can just say.

You need the cooperation of your own players and the cooperation of your opponents.

To put it simply, there are many tribute games in the NBA, and they are usually fake tributes. That is, if you win a game, it is considered a tribute, and if you lose, it is a failed tribute.

There is only one tribute game like this to Coach D in the history of the NBA!

This is a concrete manifestation of a head coach micromanaging the game to the extreme!

"Incredible!"

Larry Bird looked at Jerry Buss not far away.

After the old man heard what Jim Bass said next to him, his face was filled with surprise and emotion.

Obviously, the speculation he just mentioned has reached his ears.

When the Cardinal left, there were so many of his disciples, including him, including Nelson, and no one could play a tribute game like this game to see the Cardinal off.

This old man is really lucky!

Larry Bird sighed.

Just!

A person who travels a hundred miles is half a mile, Coach D, can you really micro-manage a game from start to finish to perfection?

"I don't believe it!"

No one will believe it!

"Coach D only considered changing to the main team when the Lakers were 7 points behind, also to pay tribute to Jerry Buss!"

On the TV, Barkley's voice shouted.

Popovich in front of the TV also had a look of disbelief, just like Larry Bird just now.

The apprentice next to him, Budenholzer, was even more stunned.

"This is not a coincidence, this was intentional by Coach D?!"

We are all basketball coaches. As a coach, who doesn’t know how difficult it is to micromanage a game?

As for Coach D, how far has he been micromanaging from beginning to end?

OMG!

I really don’t blame Budenholzer for being like this.

Even Popovich.

Even Popovich's second master and Budenholzer's second uncle, Nelson, were stunned at this time.

"This is the sense of the game, this is the mastery of the game, this is innate!"

With such talent, he will surely become the best head coach in NBA history in the future!

On the sidelines of the court, Du Kang did not know that he had once again become the focus and center of the entire world.

In this Jerry Buss tribute game, his command of digging holes and burying Easter eggs everywhere is really amazing!

This is not just what the fans think.

On Twitter, Du Kang’s mentor at UCLA, Holland, expressed his shock directly on Twitter.

"Amazing!!!"

Then Ben Holland’s tweet was worshiped and reposted by a bunch of NCAA coaches and professionals.

Although Coach D’s coaching skills and tactics are poor, he is a UCLA academic with solid roots!

Who dares to say that Zhang Sanfeng’s disciples and disciples are not orthodox in martial arts? No matter how good they are, they are orthodox.

John Wooden is the Zhang Sanfeng of the NCAA.

Therefore, Du Kang has been killing everyone in the NBA recently and is very popular in the NCAA coaching circle.

Who said our coaches in the NCAA circle can’t mix well with the NBA circle?

Look at Coach D, this is the future leader of our NCAA coaching circle, invincible!

There are 7 minutes left in the game, and the score is still 7 points behind. This point difference is not big, but it is not small.

Especially in this game, Coach D did not allow physical contact between the Lakers and Celtics players throughout the entire game, which made many viewers who supported the Lakers feel a little suspense.

After all, Coach D still had to pay tribute to Kobe Bryant by scoring 80 points in the game.

Now Kobe is still 16 points behind!

In a little more than half a quarter, Kobe still needs to score 16 points.

If Kobe was allowed to attack and shoot like he did in the second half of the third quarter, it would be impossible to win the game, right?

"Perhaps, Coach Xiao Du has given up on winning this game a long time ago. Maybe we are thinking too much. After the four guards came on the court, Coach Xiao Du organized the Lakers players on the sidelines to create opportunities for Kobe Bryant's offense. Maybe Coach Xiao Du was in the game.

After the game started, I never thought about the victory of the game. You take the victory away, and I keep the tribute. Otherwise, how strong coach Xiao Du must be to let the Celtics cooperate with him to complete these tributes!"

In Penguin’s live broadcast room, Yang Huahua’s words make sense at first glance.

If they had known in advance that Coach Du was going to pay tribute to Jerry Buss in this game, the Celtics would have tried their best to get Kobe!

Therefore, coach Xiao Du showed weakness at the beginning of the game. He did not want to defend, did not want physical contact, and did not make free throws on offense. Anyway, he looked like a gift to the Celtics.

It seems that everything in the game is really going according to the scripts Yang Huahua said.

And on the court, the game between the two sides seemed to be like this.

The Celtics attack scored one.

Come back.

The entire Lakers team supports Kobe Bryant for scoring one.

Or if there is no chance for other Lakers players to do it themselves.

In this way, the game progressed slowly.

Until the last 2 minutes, the score between the Lakers and Celtics was 120 to 127.

The score difference between the two sides is still 7 points.

Seeing such a score difference.

Not only did Doc Greaves, who had been pacing the sidelines since the start of the fourth quarter, breathe a sigh of relief.

Even Danny Ainge and Larry Bird on the sidelines breathed a sigh of relief.

Even Popovich breathed a sigh of relief at this time.

"Coach D is a human being, not a god. No matter how strong he is, he can't micromanage to such an extent and still take away the game!"

"Coach D completes the tribute and the Celtics take away the victory. There is nothing wrong with this!"
