The fifteen-minute intermission is long, but fast.

As a rookie head coach with mediocre abilities, the 15 minutes in the midfield must be very long.

He cannot eloquently arrange tactics for the players like those powerful and famous coaches. He wishes he could use 15 minutes as 30 points or as one hour.

Du Kang is now a chicken soup type head coach.

If we really talk about the tactical system and specific techniques and tactics, he is not as good as Kobe Bryant, who has played in the NBA for more than ten years.

If you really get it wrong when talking about this kind of thing, it will only make you a laughing stock and disgrace yourself.

Therefore, for Du Kang now, it doesn’t matter if there is no intermission.

His lectures to the players can be finished in one timeout.

During this halftime break, he spent most of the time staring at Kobe.

Mainly because Kobe was glaring at him with his blazing eyes.

However, compared with the Lakers locker room before the game, there were still changes in the Lakers locker room at halftime.

In the Lakers locker room before the game started, no Lakers player took the initiative to talk to Du Kang.

Lakers players all stayed away from Du Kang, including Howard. Kobe's power in the Lakers locker room was too strong.

The Lakers locker room was different during halftime. Howard was very active, jumping up and down and talking to Du Kang in various ways, showing off his "close" relationship with Du Kang.

Nash will also exchange game experiences with Du Kang from time to time.

Although Artest and Gasol didn't show their closeness to him like Nash and Howard, they didn't want to stand outside the locker room as far away from him as they did before the game.

In just one half, he received initial recognition from the Lakers players.

At the very least, these Lakers stars no longer think that he is not worthy of being an NBA head coach.

In the first half of the game, Kobe's touch was so bad and he was so offensive. In the past, the Lakers would have collapsed.

Now we can actually draw with the Jazz.

Du Kang, the acting head coach, performed really well in the first half.

However, for Du Kang, if he wants to become a regular, he will definitely not be able to rely on the recognition of one half.

"Dwight, your performance was very good in the first half, and you continued your performance in the second half. In the second half, you still have many opportunities to show your talent and dominance. You can dominate the Utah Jazz's penalty area!"

"Also, if your physical strength allows, play more pick-and-rolls with Steve in the second half. Steve can pass the ball to any corner of the world, and you can receive the ball from anyone in the world. You are

A perfect match!"

"As I said before, Los Angeles needs a victory. Keep the victory in Los Angeles and give the defeat to Salt Lake City!"

After Du Kang finished speaking, Howard stood up and raised his hands: "Keep the victory in Los Angeles!"

Lakers first assistant coach Eddie Jordan rolled his eyes at Howard.

Before this game, Howard, who had always been ineffective in his work, did not even bother to set up offensive pick-and-rolls for his teammates, let alone defense.

Now he looks like a master of Los Angeles and loves Los Angeles the most!

Such a face!

Disgusting!

How disgusting!

Not just Eddie Jordan, most other Lakers players think this way.

Kobe, who was originally glaring at Du Kang, took the time to glare at Howard.

This guy is the most unworthy person to say such things!

As long as Howard makes a little difference in the game in front of the Lakers, the five-star Lakers will be ranked 13th in the Western Conference as they are now, and it will be difficult for them to make the playoffs?

Faced with Kobe's glare, Lakers assistant coach Clifford next to Howard was a little timid. He felt that Howard was really jumping too much and was not giving Kobe face, so he carefully tugged on Howard's sleeve.

This time, facing Kobe, Howard did not give up.

I am no longer fighting alone!

I have a backstage!

Coach Du is my backstage in the Lakers locker room!

He has been in the NBA for so many years, but he has never seen a head coach as brave as Coach Xiao Du in the NBA.

He's been messing with Kobe since before the game started, and he's still messing with Kobe now, and Kobe can't do anything to him!

This is Kobe!

With such a background and the Lakers trying to straighten him up, he is afraid of the ball!

"Hmph, stare, stare more, you will never have the chance to stare at me Huo again, hahahaha!"

Howard shouted in his heart.

Howard's jumping up and down made other people in the Lakers locker room very unhappy.

But now the Lakers situation is unclear.

This disgusting big guy might actually be the boss of the Lakers soon.

Therefore, except for Kobe, no Lakers player showed his dissatisfaction with Howard.

Even if you really feel sick, you have to swallow it yourself.

Du Kang glanced at the locker room.

Although only Howard clearly expressed his support for his declaration of victory, and no one else spoke, they all stood up.

Including Kobe.

It doesn’t matter whether you support him now or not.

As long as the attitude is in place.

This shows that among the Lakers players, there may be Aunt Jenny’s undercover agent.

However, the majority of Lakers players still hope that the Lakers can win this game.

And he seems to be able to lead the Lakers to win, so the Lakers players are willing to support him temporarily.

"OK, guys, let's get our victory back now!"

After Du Kang finished speaking, he led Howard and Hamm out of the locker room, followed by Nash and other Lakers players and coaches.

Kobe walked last with red eyes and anger.

Howard and Du Kang are already on the same page!

He was looked down upon!

"I want to prove myself!"

"I want to prove myself in front of that rookie!"

Kobe himself didn't even notice that his current idea was no longer to use his good performance to beat Du Kang away.

100 points is fine!

But there’s no need to fight this rookie away just yet!

……

……

After halftime, the game continues.

The Jazz took the lead in attacking.

Jazz youngster Gordon Hayward came on the court in the third quarter in the second quarter.

The Jazz's intentions are very clear.

Let's use Hayward to attack Nash.

The core of the Jazz is the inside line, Al Jefferson and Millsap.

Not many of the Jazz's perimeter players have reliable offensive stability.

Although Gordon Hayward is young, he is already the most reliable among the Jazz's outside offensive players.

After coming on the scene in the second half of the second quarter, he attacked very fiercely.

It seems that the Jazz are satisfied with his performance in the second quarter.

I hope he can continue his efforts.

The Jazz's first offensive attack of the second half indeed continued to use Gordon Hayward to name Nash.

Nash switched to guard Marvin Williams, who had the weakest offensive threat. Gordon Hayward held the ball and Marvin Williams switched positions in the pick-and-roll to name Nash.

Nash, who was called out and had no choice but to retreat, posted it.

For other defensive players, it is best to guard against opposing players neither too close nor too far, and can guard against both shots and sudden breakthroughs.
