Eastern Time, January 23, 2013, 10 pm.

Memphis, FedEx Arena.

The game between the home team Memphis Grizzlies and the visiting team Los Angeles Lakers is in full swing.

Off the court, the Lakers bench and the players on the players' bench have been attracted by the game. They stood up and sat down one after another in excitement.

The Lakers fans who are watching the live TV broadcast at this time must be familiar with these Lakers substitute players.

Pau Gasol, Antawn Jamison, Chris Duhon, Darius Morris...

Each of them is a well-known general in the alliance.

If you count Kobe, Nash, Howard and Charity World Peace on the court at this time...

2 MVPs, 2 Best Defensive Players.

This Laker is definitely a star stud.

However, the star-studded Los Angeles Lakers currently have a record of 17 wins and 25 losses.

After the team's head coach D'Antoni took office, the record is 12 wins and 20 losses. In the past 11 games, the Lakers have lost 9 games.

If we lose this game again, we will have lost 10 of the past 12 games.

The Lakers led by Kobe, Nash, Howard, Gasol and Ci Shiping are being beaten by the Grizzlies...

On the side of the court, in the first row next to the players' bench, Lakers head coach D'Antoni could no longer sit still and was anxiously talking to the ants on the hot pot.

At this time, many troublemaking NBA expert reporters are waiting for another death glare from Kobe.

The last time Kobe Bryant stared away at Mike Brown.

This time, will Kobe attack D'Antoni?

In the second row of side seats where no one pays attention.

The atmosphere is completely different from the first row.

"Du, we must have lost this game again. There is something really wrong with our tactics. We can't let Kobe and Nash run around like crazy dogs without a goal. They are no longer young. I'm not sure that doing this will only consume them."

Do our stars have other roles? We need to change."

"Darwin, is there a possibility that maybe Mike... only knows this trick?"

"..."

After hearing what the handsome young man next to him said, Darwin Hamm was stunned.

Why didn't he think about this?

The young man sitting next to Darwin Ham is named Du Kang.

23 years old, family member who grows flowers, former international student in the United States, graduated from UCLA last year.

He joined the UCLA men's basketball team in his freshman year and became the team's part-time assistant trainer.

In my second year of college, I successfully became a part-time trainer from part-time assistant trainer Teague.

In his junior year, he was promoted to a part-time assistant coach.

After assisting UCLA head coach Ben Holland for two years, he successfully joined the Los Angeles Lakers after graduating from college.

Du Kang is now an ordinary assistant coach for the Los Angeles Lakers.

Generally speaking, an NBA team will have 4-5 assistant coaches.

Take the Lakers as an example.

At this time, there are five people sitting in the first row of the front bench (coach’s bench).

One head coach, three assistant coaches, and one athletic trainer.

This is a fixed number stipulated by the alliance.

The five people in the first row of the coaching bench are such specifications, and every team must abide by them.

For the Lakers, the head coach is D'Antoni.

The three assistant coaches are D'Antoni's confidant and brother, and the current chief assistant coach, Don D'Antoni.

There is also Steven Clifford, who is responsible for the team's defense and keeps an eye on Warcraft Howard, Lakers superstar Dwight Howard's confidant.

As well as the hero of the Lakers' 1982 championship and responsible for the team's offense, the former head coach of the NBA Wizards, Eddie Jordan, was invited by the former Lakers head coach Mike Brown.

These people are all familiar to many NBA fans.

As for the second row of the coaching bench, except for the team’s fourth assistant coach, the rest of the staff are not certain.

The second row can accommodate player development coaches, video coordinators, senior scouts, athletic performance assistants, assistant trainers, and team security personnel.

For a team with super giants like the Lakers, these super giant bodyguards can also be mixed in the second row.

Therefore, the second row, on the side seats, is also called the reserved seat for idlers, a bunch of bastards.

If the fans don't pay attention, the media won't report it, and there may not be a single broadcast of a game.

And Du Kang is the fourth assistant coach of the Lakers.

Next to him, Darwin Hamm is the fifth assistant coach of the Lakers.

Both are rookies in the NBA coaching world.

Darwin Hamm was previously an assistant coach for the New Mexico Thunderbirds of the NBA Development League.

Du Kang was previously an assistant coach at UCLA.

Relatively speaking, the qualifications of prestigious schools in the NCAA Division I League are definitely far higher than those in the NBA Development League.

Moreover, Du Kang is not an ordinary famous school. He is from UCLA. The UCLA brand is very useful in Los Angeles.

Du Kang's background is better than that of former NBA player Darwin Hamm in the Los Angeles Lakers.

So Du Kang is fourth and Darwin Hamm is fifth.

However, the fourth and fifth ones actually don’t matter, they are just trash fish.

Even Eddie Jordan, the team's second assistant coach, has recently been tortured by an NCAA assistant coaching job with an annual salary of 900,000 US dollars. He wants to leave for the money, but is reluctant to completely lose the opportunity to coach in the NBA.

Even Eddie Jordan is like this.

Idiots like Du Kang and Hamm, if they want to counterattack and become NBA head coaches, they have to work hard for at least ten or twenty years?

In fact, most of the losers will never have the opportunity to coach an NBA team in their lives. Most of them can't survive and end up coaching abroad, in secondary universities, high schools, middle schools, and elementary schools.

A small number of those who can take root will only be able to earn tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars in salary throughout their lives and travel around in various NBA teams.

There are very few people who can finally become an NBA head coach from being a miscellaneous fish.

Former Lakers acting head coach Bernie Beckstaff struggled for 30 years before getting his first coaching opportunity.

Thirty years...

"Du, I still think we should do something to prevent the Lakers from losing like this again. We have so many outstanding players, how can we achieve such a record?"

"Darwin..."

Du Kang carefully looked at this middle-aged man whose neck was getting shorter and shorter, fatter and fatter, and longer and more honest.

"Can you make George Karl like Ray Allen?"

"..."

Du Kang's rhetorical question almost made Ham's dark face turn red.

Ray Allen was his boss when he was a player in the Bucks.

George Karl was his mentor.

The entire basketball circle knows about the conflict between the two.

When he was with the Bucks, George Karl designed a tactic for Ray Allen. He first gave the ball to Hamm in the low post on the strong side. Hamm took the ball and broke through to the bottom line, attracting the defender to pass to Ray Allen in the bottom corner.<

/p>

The name of this tactic is ‘Hammer’, derived from Darwin Hamm’s name.

Even though Hamm is unknown, he has been a role player at the bottom throughout his career.

He is also someone who once had exclusive tactics with Ray Allen.

He knows the relationship between Ray Allen and George Karl better than anyone else.

"Du, you are right..."

Ham sighed.

Back then, his relationship with Ray Allen and George Karl was much closer, and he was unable to change their relationship, and he was not even qualified to intervene.

Who is D'Antoni now?

Ask D'Antoni to listen to him, give up the run-and-gun tactical idea, slow down the pace, and play position?

Isn’t this a joke?
