042: Derby night, cheers from Staples

Los Angeles, Staples Center, Qin Tao's office, an old man and a young man are sitting and talking.The young man was obviously Qin Tao, and the old man was Buss, the owner of the Los Angeles Lakers.

"Qin, I've seen your hard work these days." Buss said with a smile, "Very well, our Lakers need a head coach like you."

"Thank you boss for the compliment." Qin Tao lowered his head and said calmly.

Bass still maintained a smile and said: "There is no need for this. This is not China. We have an equal relationship. I found that choosing you as the head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers was absolutely the right choice."

"Why do you know?" Qin Tao was puzzled, why would he be the most correct choice?Even if it is not the most wrong decision, it will not be the most correct!

A look of admiration flashed across Bass's face, "Chris, I've already talked to him, and I found out that his loyalty to you is not pretended. Qin, it's amazing to convince an All-Star player in such a short period of time." Yours!"

"Hehe!" Qin Tao smiled, but didn't say anything.He couldn't tell Buzz that he used the "controller" to completely heal Weber's injury and help him put on his shoes and socks!

"Okay, I won't bother you, old man." Bass stood up and said with a smile, "I'm waiting to see tonight's game! Get ready!" After finishing speaking, Bass walked out Qin Tao's office.

"Today, on this special night in the City of Angels, we will usher in the derby in Los Angeles." Smith, who was one of the commentators for the game, said first.

"On yesterday's venue, the Los Angeles Lakers just lost to the Seattle Supersonics by a disparate score. Can they beat their rival Los Angeles Clippers today with a neat lineup?" Barkley continued: "And in this game Another special thing is going to happen, Mr. Carlos Barker, the editor-in-chief of the Los Angeles Sports News who hates the Lakers, will wear the Lakers jersey prepared by the Lakers fans to apologize to the Lakers in the middle of the court."

The tacit understanding between the two for many years appeared again, and Kenny Smith immediately took over, "Mr. Carlos Barker has a big hatred for all Lakers fans. From the beginning to the end, Mr. Barker mocked the Los Angeles Lakers. It has never stopped. Since the birth of the "OK combination", Barker has been pointing at the Lakers. Although Mr. Barker and his Los Angeles Sports News have never taken advantage of these years, this year's "OK" collapsed Mr. Barker. He opened his mouth and kept staring at the Lakers, and the Lakers' loyalists hated him to death."

"Yes, this is definitely one of the highlights tonight." Barkley said gloatingly: "As a loyal fan of the Lakers, I am looking forward to the small episode of this game. Because of this small episode, ESPN specially broadcast it to the whole United States this game."

Kenny Smith first said in a deep voice, "When did you become a fan of the Lakers?"

"I've always been okay?" Barkley said rascally.

"I don't have the same knowledge as you." Smith smiled and said, "It is true that many people in this game are going to face Mr. Barker, but the content of the game is not to be missed. The new lineup of the Lakers is officially unveiled today, and I am looking forward to it. What kind of performance can Reece Webber make?"

"Kenny, you gossip too much." Barkley said dissatisfied: "The game is about to start. Before the game, the head coach of the Lakers, Mr. Qin, has announced the starting lineup. From the list I got, the Lakers The starting lineup is exactly what Qin said. I really look forward to Chris's performance!"

"Let's stop talking, the game has begun..." Kenny Smith said, his speech speed changed.

After the whistle, the Lakers took the lead, and Derek Fisher dribbled the ball quickly across the half.Bryant was on the line with the ball, and Chris Webber was hanging around the edge of the paint.Suddenly, the five players on the Lakers field were like frightened sheep.One second he was still grazing leisurely, and the next second he ran wildly.

Webber suddenly mentioned the line, Kobe dribbled the ball close to Webber and turned around, Butler quickly inserted from the baseline.The Clippers' defensive lineup was disrupted by the Lakers' sudden change of pace, with Levenster and Margate scrambling to double-team Bryant.Brown was still a little dazed, but he blocked the German center, Kaman's defensive position very well.

Kobe slowed down, turned around and passed the ball, and Webb took the ball and took off.Brand and Gilbert quickly jumped up to block the shot.After passing the ball a few times, two Lakers players on the field immediately became vacant, and Butler and Fisher were completely unguarded.Webb gave the ball to Butler, who was closer to the basket, and Caron used his strength to complete a perfect tomahawk dunk.

"Ouch!!!" Shocking cheers and applause erupted from the Staples Center.Most of the fans who came to Staples today are diehard Lakers fans, including the meanest ones.But they didn't come to see the Lakers game, they came to see Barker make a fool of himself.Buck is really unpopular among Lakers fans in Los Angeles.I don't know if he was beaten by some radical unknown fans with his head covered when he went out.

After Caron's dunk, Barkley's reaction was extremely violent. "God! Is this the rookie who averaged 10.5 points per game with the Lakers three months ago? It's hard to imagine how Caron has grown under Qin's guidance."

Smith gave Barkley a sideways look, and said: "Don't get excited, Charles. Be careful to flash your tongue, this is just a dunk. Although this dunk is beautiful, it is only worth two points. And the game has just begun, and the Clippers are It's not the kind of fish that is slaughtered."

Three minutes later, the Lakers ushered in a wave of climax.First, Kobe pulled the trigger continuously from the outside, hitting three mid-range shots.Butler's breakthrough caused the Clippers to foul twice, and Caron made all four free throws.Fisher's golden left hand also played at the right time, with a three-pointer and a layup.

The outside players teamed up to contribute 15 points for the Lakers, and the Lakers' inside line is no longer useless.All-star power forward Chris Webber sits on the inside, and the big hat slaps Kaman's layup.Brown also completed two tip-ins in the paint.And Weber hit consecutive hooks, scoring 6 points in a row.

A wave of 25 to 6 climax won the cheers of all the fans. This may be the first time Qin Tao has received such cheers and applause in the Staples Center since he took office in Los Angeles.To be honest, the feeling of being bathed in the applause and cheers of the fans is really good. Qin Tao, who is used to hearing the boos of the fans, is really happy to hear such cheers.This is thanks to that old guy Buck, if it weren't for him, Qin Tao doesn't know when he would hear the cheers from Staples...
