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

The Lakers bench, players on the player's seats, were already being drawn into the game. They excitedly rose and sat down repeatedly.
>
Lakers fans who are watching the live broadcast right now definitely know these Lakers bench players by heart.
Paul Gasol, Anthony Jamison, Chris Duhon, Darius Morris...
Each one is a prominent general within the alliance.
If you count Kobe, Nash, Howard, and the peace of charity on the court right now...
2 MVPs, 2 Defensive Player of the Year awards.
This Lakers team is undoubtedly star-studded.
However, this star-studded Los Angeles Lakers team currently has a record of 17 wins and 25 losses.
Since coach D'Antoni took over, the team has a record of 12 wins and 20 losses. In the past 11 games, the Lakers have lost 9 games.
If we lose this game, it will be our 10th loss in the past 12 games.
Kobe, Nash, Howard, Gasol, and Yi Jianlian's Lakers are being beaten by the Grizzlies...
On the sideline, on the front row of the bench beside the Lakers' players, head coach Darvin Ham was pacing back and forth anxiously, like a hot potato.
At this time, many NBA experts and reporters who love to stir up trouble are waiting for Kobe's another death stare.
Last time Kobe stared down Mike Brown.
>
This time, will Kobe go after Anthony
In the second row of seats, unnoticed by most.
The atmosphere is completely different from the first row.
"Dude, we definitely lost this game again. Our strategy is seriously flawed. We can't let Kobe and Nash run around like aimless mad dogs. They're not young anymore, I'm not sure if doing this besides exhausting our star players has any other purpose. We need to change things up."
"Darwin, is there any chance, maybe, Mike... only does this one move"
"…"
After hearing the words of the handsome young man next to him, Darwin Ham was stunned.
Why didn't he think in that direction
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The young man sitting beside Darwinham was named Du Kang.
23 years old, a member of the Flower family, a former American student, graduated from UCLA last year.
Joined the UCLA men's basketball team as a freshman and became an assistant coach.
> A sophomore successfully transitioned from a part-time assistant trainer to a part-time trainer.
In junior year,
he was promoted to an assistant coach.
After assisting UCLA head coach Ben Howland for two years, the graduate successfully entered the Los Angeles Lakers.
Du Kang is now an ordinary assistant coach for the Los Angeles Lakers.
Generally speaking, an NBA team will have 4-5 assistant coaches.
To illustrate, consider the Lakers.
>
Five people are sitting in the first row of the front seats (coach's bench) at this time.
One head coach, three assistant coaches, and one sports trainer.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
This is the league's regulation number.
Please note that I only translated the content within the > tags. The HTML tags themselves remain unchanged.
The five people in the first row of the coach's bench are like this, every team must abide by it.
On the Lakers' side, the head coach is DeAntoni.
The three assistant coaches are: DeAntoni's confidante and brother, also the current head assistant coach, Tony DeAntoni.
And also responsible for the team's defense, closely guarding the big man Dwight Howard, Steven Clifford, the trusted lieutenant of the Los Angeles Lakers star.
And the 1982 Lakers championship hero, responsible for the team's offense, Eddie Jordan, a former coach of the Magic. He was brought in by former Lakers coach Mike Brown.
These people are well-known figures to many NBA fans.
And the second row of the coaches' bench, besides the team's fourth assistant coach, was not fixed with other personnel.
The second row can seat player development coaches, video coordinators, senior scouts, performance analysts, assistant coaches, and team security personnel.
On teams with superstars like the Lakers, even those superstardom guards can be found in the second row.
Therefore, the second row, at the end seats, also known as a designated seat for riffraff, a bunch of scoundrels.
If fans don't care, the media won't cover it, and a game might not even get shown on TV once.
And Du Kang is the Los Angeles Lakers' fourth assistant coach.
>
Darwin Ham, standing beside him, is the fifth assistant coach for the Lakers.
Both are rookie coaches in the NBA.
Before Darwin Ham, was an assistant coach for the New Mexico Thunderbirds of the NBA G League.
Before Du Kang, he was an assistant coach at UCLA.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
In comparison, the pedigree of top schools in the NCAA Division I is undoubtedly far superior to that of the NBA's developmental league.
Moreover, Du Kang isn't just any ordinary school; he came from UCLA. Having a UCLA name tag in Los Angeles is quite valuable.
>
With such a background, Du Kang would be superior to former NBA player Darwin Ham in the Los Angeles Lakers.
Therefore, Du Kang was fourth and Darwin Ham fifth.
However, the fourth and fifth places, it really doesn't matter, they are all just trash.
Even the team's second assistant coach, Eddy Jordan, has been tormented lately by an NCAA assistant coaching position with a salary of $900,000. He wants to take the money but can't bear to completely lose the opportunity to coach in the NBA.
Even Michael Jordan did this.
Like Du Kang and Hamm, such bottom feeders, wanting to become an NBA head coach requires at least a decade or two of hard work
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Actually, most of the fish in the pond have never had a chance to coach an NBA team. Most of them don't make it and end up coaching overseas at lower-tier universities, high schools, middle schools, or even elementary schools.
A small portion can take root, and for their entire lives, they'll only earn a few tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars in salary, bouncing around various NBA teams.
To be able to go from being a nobody to becoming an NBA coach is incredibly rare.
Lakers former interim coach Bernie Bickerstaff clawed his way for 30 years before getting his first head coaching opportunity.
Thirty years...
"Dude, I still think we need to do something. We can't keep losing like this. We have so many great players, how can we be playing like this"
"Darwin..."
Du Kang seriously sized up this man who was getting shorter-necked, rounder, and more amiable with each passing year.
"Can you make George Karl like Raymond"
"…"
Du Kang's question made Ham blush.
Ray Allen was his leader when he played for the Bucks.
George Karl was his mentor.
Everyone in the basketball world knows about the conflict between the two.
Back when they played together on the Bucks, George Karl designed a play for Ray Allen that involved giving the ball to Hakeem in the low post on the strong side. Hakeem would then drive towards the baseline, drawing defenders before passing to Ray Allen who was waiting in the corner.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
This tactic is called "Hammer", named after Darwin Ham.
Don't look at Ham, he's not well-known. Throughout his career, he has been a role player at the bottom of the roster.
He was also someone who once had a specialized tactic with Re-Aren.
He was more aware than others of the relationship between Ray Allen and George Karl.
“Du, you’re right…”
>
Hamlet sighed.
Back then, his relationship with Ray Allen and George Karl was very close. Nothing could change their bond, not even those who tried to interfere.
>
Now, who is DeAntoni
Let De'Anthony Melton listen to his coaches, give up the run-and-gun tactics, slow down the pace, and play more positional basketball
This isn't a joke.
Most NBA coaches, except for a few, hold onto their systems for life. They only do, or rather, only study this one approach.
>
Run-and-gun, that's Anthony's hallmark.
Even if running a "bomb squad" isn't suitable for the current Lakers, D'Antoni won't change.
...but let the players adapt to him, not him adapt to the players.
“Darwin, these matters are none of our concern. These are things those people should be worrying about.”
Du Kang smiled and pointed at the sky.
When something like this happens, even immortals will fight. They don't have the qualifications to get involved.
What qualifications do these two shrimps have to love the Lakers
If they love the Lakers, then the Lakers must love them too.
If the two of them take the lead in opposing Anthony, they will definitely die.
The Lakers definitely won't love them.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Even so, looking at the Lakers being beaten up on the court right now...
With a record of 12 wins and 10 losses, the Lakers are facing a difficult season. Lakers fans are heartbroken.
What's more, these Lakers assistant coaches.
With such a great lineup, being led by DeAntoni like this, it's not even as good as the previous Bernie Bickerstaff.
Just like Ham, Du Kang is also extremely disappointed.
He was just not as outgoing as Hamlet, and didn't wear his emotions on his sleeve.
You don't need to be black-hearted, just have a scheming heart.
And Ham, even among Black people, was outgoing.
Ham, who won the championship with the Pistons in 2004, was the one crying the hardest in the locker room.
Besides, Ham was dissatisfied with DeAntoni not just because of his outspoken personality and DeAntoni's poor coaching record.
Moreover, the former Lakers coach Mike Brown has been a mentor to Ham.
Hamby came to the Lakers a year earlier. He was invited by former Lakers coach Mike Brown to join the coaching staff, responsible for the mental and physical development of players like Kobe and Howard...
Can Ham handle the mental and physical strain of Kobe and Howard
Does Hamlet also qualify to teach the mental and physical development of these two
Mike Brown actually just gave Ham a job and a way to make a living.
Mike Brown is Popovich's disciple, Popovich is Larry Brown's disciple, and Hamm mixed with Larry Brown in 2004.
This is also why Mike Brown was willing to mentor Ham.
Ham is a member of the fringe of the Larry Brown-Popovich system, which is the biggest force in the NBA.
Both of the Lakers' former head coaches, Mike Brown and Bernie Bickerstaff, are members of this coaching tree.
Larry Brown - Popovich types wouldn't look twice at Anthony.
What's more, DeAntoni turned this glittering Lakers team into this mess.
Du Kang doesn't have factions in the NBA, he has no need to participate.
Larry Brown-Popovich's influence in the Lakers has basically been wiped clean.
He wouldn't even stand in line for Ham, that traitor.
Besides, there was no need for him to take sides.
Let me know if you'd like to translate more text!
He's a UCLA person, he doesn't offend anyone, so naturally no one would bother him for no reason.
Ham is now in the position, Anthony doesn't leave, he's gotta get out immediately.
Eddy Jordan, who is several levels higher than Byham, has already found a new home. Before being purged, he took the initiative to leave and retained his dignity.
If Ham could find a new team like Eddy Jordan, he wouldn't be so miserable all the time.
He is completely different from Ham, who is barely managing to survive right now.
So, for now, he's just riding it out with the Lakers, quietly developing and aiming for awards. That's his current strategy.
The Lakers lost to the Grizzlies 93-106 in this game.
At the end of the game, Anthony's face was ashen.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
This is the Lakers' 10th loss in their last 12 games.
Jim Buss, sitting courtside to cheer on his team, may have had a worse face than DeAntoni.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
As the era of Old Bas comes to an end, it is well known that the power struggle within the Bas family has reached a fever pitch.
Jim Buss and Jeanie Buss are the Lakers' two biggest factions.
Jim passed a basketball to his brother, and his three sisters joined in on the game. They excluded Jenny from playing basketball.
Jenny Bass was there to offer advice to Old Bass, fueling the fire and suggesting retaliatory measures.
>
Both sides were on edge, with their swords drawn and bows strung, their positions seemingly irreconcilable.
After school, Jenny Bass wanted to invite her boyfriend Phil Jackson to be the coach.
Jim Buss then brought in Antonio Davis.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
In such a severe battle, now every loss for Anthony is like slapping Jimmy Butler hard in the face.
Thinking of Jenny Bass's face, Jim Bass wished at that moment he had a gun to shoot DeAntoni.
This is incredibly disappointing!
Anthony is becoming increasingly incompetent, isn't he Wasn't it a blind choice to hire him in the first place
With his lack of vision, how could he possibly unite the Lakers to resist Giannis
He was able to rise to power because his siblings helped to ostracize Jenny.
And Jenny, has a lot of support from the Lakers management.
> Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
If the Lakers keep losing, Jenny Buss will soon be back in power.
Now there are many voices within the Lakers organization hoping for Phil Jackson to return as coach and Jeanie Buss to take control of the team again.
"Damn it!"
"Ding, the game is over, basketball coach career system points settlement begins."
Competition Level: A (NBA Regular Season), earn 1.6x MP (career points) settlement.
Game statistics reward: 93-106 loss, reward MP: 16 points (A-class game data bottom guarantee reward)
Satisfaction Reward MP: 100
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Player satisfaction: 20%
Fan satisfaction: 15%
Management satisfaction: 65%
This is a test.
Teaching competition impact reward MP: 0 (no positive impact on the competition)
This match's MP reward settlement: 186 points (rounded to the nearest integer)
"The Lakers management is really full of traitors, isn't it They lost this game so badly, but the management still has a 65% satisfaction rate. The more they lose, the higher the management's satisfaction seems to be. This just shows how desperate they are for Jim Buss to get out! All I can say is, Aunt Jeanie is amazing."
Thanks to Aunt Jenny's support, even though the Lakers' record isn't great, even though their current record is only 17 wins and 25 losses.
... but still provided him with 12,525 MP rewards.
The rewards for winning are substantial, and the rewards for losing aren't bad either. This kind of carefree life is simply too enjoyable.
"I'm still far away from the 1 million points needed to buy the Lakers head coach position."
This is a simple example of HTML tag translation. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
If he could stay in the NBA as a benchwarmer, maybe 30 years from now, he could complete his life reversal and become an assistant coach for the Lakers.
>
By the way, the purchase points for the Lakers head coach position are currently at their lowest.
The main reason is that he's currently an assistant coach for the Lakers, secondly, head coach Darvin Ham's position is uncertain, and in addition, the Lakers are now widely recognized as a "coach black hole" in the NBA.
There's simply no famous general who would dare to come here and step into this trap right now.
The price of the Lakers' head coaching position is now at rock bottom.
Unfortunately, he doesn't have that many points now.
Leaving the NCAA to apply for an assistant coach position with the Lakers cost him all his NCAA experience.
Unless he's from UCLA, he wouldn't be qualified enough to become an assistant coach for the Lakers.
Besides the Lakers, other NBA teams require a high number of career points for assistant coach positions.
This is a sample text.
After settlement, Du Kang habitually opened the professional job application interface to see if there were any missed opportunities.
Apart from head coaches in struggling NBA teams, assistant coaches from other promising teams are also a good option.
However, Du Kang is generally not met with hope.
Wow!
Position: Los Angeles Lakers Acting Head Coach
MP: 10000 (Lakers Assistant Coach Exclusive Discount)
Purchase requirements: Lakers assistant coach (meets the requirements)
Description: After purchase, the Lakers fire Anthony Davis and you become the interim head coach. The interim head coach may get promoted or be fired after the next game, please buy carefully.
Please let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
Du Kang rubbed his eyes hard, then rubbed them again. He wasn't seeing things!
He, at this moment, truly has a chance to become the Lakers' head coach, even if it's just as an interim coach, that's still a head coach!
Seriously, watch your mouth!
Please let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Now or never, shall we really have to wait 30 years!
Maybe next second, Mr. Jim will change his mind and not fire DeAnthony!
>
"Buy! Buy! Buy!"
"Ding, the host has purchased the assistant coach position for the Lakers. Please do not repeat the operation."
The system interface popped up a prompt, making Du Kang feel a little embarrassed.
I was too excited just now.
However, I think everyone should be able to understand, hehe.
"Dude, what are you doing Please walk me through this game!"
“...”
>
Du Kang came to and looked at Tang-Anthony in astonishment.
As the team's first assistant coach, shouldn't you be doing the post-game analysis
So, are you saying this competition is a piece of junk, and you don't want to eat it, so you want me to
When you don't feel like eating normally, isn't it Ham who eats it
He was just an ordinary nobody, not someone who thought they were high and mighty because of their background. He wasn't bullied by anyone.
The Lakers' record now needs someone to blame.
Kobe, Nash, Howard definitely can't be scapegoats.
The DeAntoni brothers certainly don't want to take the blame.
Then the one who gets blamed is, of course, Eddie Jordan and his lot.
The Lakers' current record is probably not good enough for Ham and Eddy Jordan, plus they are both not up to par.
He had already figured it out. Next, he expected DeAntoni to suggest to Mr. Gibbs a complete overhaul of the coaching staff.
It's all these assistant coaches who are useless, that's why the Lakers players can't execute his tactical system.
Very good calculation.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
However, everyone is trying to save themselves, so they wouldn't make Du Kang feel targeted. Then they childishly challenged the De Antoni brothers, arguing with everything and everyone.
When he bought the Lakers' assistant coach position just now, didn't he also consider Anthony
What if, after the initial excitement wears off, Jim Buss doesn't buy in and decides to give Anthony another chance
So, Du Kang, who was caught by the De Antoni brothers and made a scapegoat, wasn't angry.
Nor did he go over the game with the rest of the coaching staff as requested by Tang-Antonio.
This coaching meeting was clearly a scapegoating session for the Anthony brothers. He didn't need to waste his breath.
Arguing is useless.
Facing the 'dead'.
At this moment, a smile is enough.
hehe.
"Du, I think your work attitude is very problematic."
Seeing Du Kang's inexplicable smile, DeAntoni frowned.
Although Du Kang remained silent, his smile now directed towards De'Anthony.
This way, Du Kang made the prepared Anthony swing his fist into a cloud of cotton wool, and his expression became even more unsightly.
For a moment, the tension in the hotel conference room was palpable.
This is a
multi-line paragraph.
Seeing Du Kang be so courageous, daring to stand up to the brothers of De Antonius.
Eddy Jordan and Ham and Clifford, faces full of disbelief.
Is this still the good-natured gentleman who doesn't offend anyone and is a transparent person
Ham, who originally thought Duke Kang was a coward and wouldn't dare rebel against him, now looked at Duke Kang with different eyes.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Du...he, he's braver than me!"
Since Du Du has stepped up, what else am I waiting for!
Even if we were all ultimately cleaned up, the news of infighting within the Lakers coaching staff would be enough to give the Anthony brothers a drink.
>
A poor record, coupled with news of infighting within the coaching staff, may see the Anthony brothers leave.
"I think..."
Hamlet just stood up.
The door to the room was pushed open from outside.
Jimbas has already pushed the door open.
When Jim Bass walked in, the De'Antoni brothers' eyes lit up.
"Jim, I think Doug is no longer a suitable assistant coach for the team."
>
After DeAntoni finished speaking, Gibbs didn't say anything. He just looked deeply at DeAntoni.
“Mike, effective immediately, you are terminated.”
"What!"
Here is the translation of your provided text:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
DeAnthony still thought he had misheard.
Jimbás didn't look at DeAntonio again, but instead frowned and looked at Ducang.
"Du, you will serve as the acting head coach of the Lakers until the new head coach is appointed."
After that, Gibbs left.
The hotel conference room was silent.
At this time, including the DeAntoni brothers and others, everyone looked at Du Kang with completely different eyes.
Especially at this moment, the peaceful smile on Du Kang's face, that smile, held a deeper meaning.
He knew it all along!
"His background is very deep!"
The DeAntoni brothers wanted to get him, but in the end, it was the DeAntoni brothers who left!
Just now, Ham, who had stood up to help Du Kang out of trouble, was excited.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He has a backer again!
>
"Du!"
Actually, at this moment, Du Kang was even more excited than Ham.
He, actually, really became the head coach of the Lakers!ke this happens, even immortals will fight. They don't have the qualifications to get involved.What qualifications do these two shrimps have to love the LakersIf they love the Lakers, then the Lakers...
