Chapter 29 029 The Name of the Prophet

029: The name of the prophet

When the timeout ended and the Timberwolves prepared to play the last 2 minutes of the first half according to the arrangement of head coach Saunders, they found that the Lakers' offense was still not what they imagined.The biggest variable for the Lakers is Divac.

The footsteps of Divac, who was given the speed potion by Qin Tao, are completely different from before. He can always find space to pick and roll for Kobe and Butler under Johnson's marking.With rich experience and suddenly quicker footsteps, the Wolves still failed to prevent the Los Angeles attack despite adopting a half-court marking defense. 56 to 48, the Lakers led by 8 points and ended the first half.

After halftime, Barkley slapped his hands on the commentary stand and said loudly: "How about Kenny? Wahid's old tree is blooming, and the Lakers lead by 8 points and enter the third quarter! As long as the Lakers stick to it in the third quarter , then there is no doubt about today's winner."

Smith said lightly: "Really? How long do you think Wahid's physical strength is enough for him to play? He has played 16 minutes in the first half, how long do you expect him to play in the second half? You must know his average Only played 12.6 minutes."

"But you have to see how much playing time Wahid played after Qin joined the Lakers! Wow! 23.6 minutes." Barkley argued immediately.

"Charles, it's really boring for us to fight here, isn't it?" Smith spread his arms and said, "Hurry up and make a summary of the first half of the game, and be careful that you will be fired."

Barkley smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if I get fired! The main thing is that you will lose your job after I get fired, right?"

"Cut." Smith made a disdainful cut and began to comment on the first half of the game.

In the Lakers locker room, Qin Tao was also preparing for the second half of the game.

"In the second half, Chucky, Bryant, Caron, Lamar, Meme, you guys go first. In the first 5 minutes of the third quarter, all you have to do is defend. Meme, don't be afraid of the Wolf King in the paint Foul, as long as he enters the range that threatens our basket, you will try your best to push him out, if not, foul. In short, we have to survive these 5 minutes." Pointing to Kobe, Qin Tao continued.

"In the first 5 minutes of the third quarter, Bryant was in charge of our offense." Qin Tao said to Kobe immediately: "Bryant, the team's offense is in your hands. Score the ball until 20 seconds, but you have to remember that if you get caught in a double team you can pass the ball to your teammate. Caron, Lamar will help you in the critical moment. As for Chucky, you Look for opportunities outside the three-point line, and shoot when you have a chance." Then Qin Tao drew a few simple lines on the tactical board to indicate the basic running routes of several people, and then said: "Come on! Remember yo, we are always together, brother I will cheer you on.”

Qin Tao's last sentence made the atmosphere in the locker room a lot easier, which not only benefited the team's performance in the second half, but also made his glorious image as the head coach even taller in the hearts of the players.

……

Not long after the second half of the game started, Sanders looked at Qin Tao on the other side of the field and his teeth itch.Qin Tao's tactics are completely delaying time. The Lakers' offense has completely lost the former splendor and the aristocratic temperament. They are more like barbarians.

When Kobe was in contact with the Wolf King, there were endless tricks. When Odom faced Garnett, he either pulled his vest or pulled his shorts.After all, the wolf king had to suffer from Mihm's defense that didn't go to the ball at all when he got to the inside.Under Qin Tao's instigation, Mim's defensive action is more like a wrestler than a basketball player.

The referee's whistle was stuck in his mouth with 502 glue, and he never took it off.The game went on intermittently at the referee's whistle, and the Lakers' defense against Garnett changed from Mihm to Grant and from Grant to Cook.The booing at Staples Center also continued after the start of the third quarter.

"Los Angeles doesn't need savages."

"We are Zijin nobles, barbarians, please leave Los Angeles, you should go to Boston."

… Facing all kinds of cursing, Qin Tao's face remained completely unmoved. He believed that one day these fans who scolded him would cry and let him stay in Los Angeles. Of course, the premise is that these people are Lakers fans.

"Beep!!!" The referee's whistle sent the Wolf King to the free throw line again. After making 18 free throws in the game, the Timberwolves finally managed to close the score to 3 points.Cook was called for the third foul, and Qin Tao calmly called a timeout to prepare for a new round of offense for the Lakers.

"Very good. There are still 6 minutes and 21 seconds before the end of the third quarter. You guys are doing very well. Remember the tactics we will play next." Qin Tao took out the tactical board and said seriously: "Sasha, you Chucky is replaced, and the rest remain the same. Okay, let me talk about the tactics. Bryant and Caron are still our double grabs, but this time what you have to do is no longer a breakthrough from the three-point line , but looking at the breakthroughs of the audience. The core of the tactics is one word, fast! No matter how fast the wolf king is, he is still a human being, and he will not become a four-legged wolf, and what we have to do is to be faster than them. Of course, in the fast process, we must maintain the shooting percentage, Sasha, Brian (Cook) you two are the fortress. Lamar, you rush to rebound, Caron, Bryant's first task is to disrupt the opponent's Positioning, followed by scoring." As he spoke, Qin Tao began to draw on the tactical board.

The five Lakers players on the court were given a bottle of speed potion by Qin Tao alone. With the support of the speed potion, the speed of the five Lakers players on the court got a certain increase. The rhythm of the Timberwolves began to become chaotic, and the Lakers gradually slowed down. Open the score.

Sanders was completely caught off guard. He had no idea that Qin Tao could use three tactics in one game.First there was a simplified triangle offense, then a rogue foul tactic, and then a suspected run-and-gun tactic. 'God!Is the new head coach of the Lakers a master tactician? '

In fact, the Lakers have so many different styles of play, and Qin Tao used the "NBA controller" to set up their preferences.The system simulates the game according to Qin Tao's settings. Although the tactics are often changed and there is no proficiency, the opponent is not familiar with his own tactics.So Qin Tao's approach can be said to have its own advantages and disadvantages, but this method is okay against some mid-range teams, but it must be impossible to deal with a team like the Spurs with an extremely balanced offense and defense.

The clock was ticking, and the Lakers switched back to their most proficient triangle offense at the start of the fourth quarter, but their game slowed down.The more impatient the Timberwolves were, the slower the Lakers played... In the end, Qin Tao, who had a cheating artifact, defeated the Timberwolves 103-98 at home and won the Lakers' four consecutive victories since taking over.From the beginning to the end, Qin Tao sat calmly on the coach's bench, not in a hurry, not in a hurry, not tepid.

After the victory, the loyal fans of the Lakers still applauded. Although those extremely demanding fans left before the end of the game, the applause and cheers given to Qin Tao by the Staples Center were still so much more than the boos. a little.After Qin Tao hugged the Lakers players one by one, he once again looked at the fans in the east stand with a very provocative look.

……

At the press conference, Sanders didn't have much frustration on his face after defeat.I met Qin Tao for a while, and after shaking hands, the two sat together in harmony, like two friends who haven't seen each other for many years.

"I'm willing to lose this game. Qin, he not only has a kind of prophetic premonition, but also a master tactician. If he is not the illegitimate son left by God in the East, then he must be a hermit master in the ancient East." Sang Des said so when facing a reporter's question.Originally, Saunders was just expressing his admiration for Qin Tao, and exaggerated a little by the way, but his exaggeration...Qin Tao somehow got the nickname "Prophet"...
