043: Derby night, the highlight

In the first quarter, the Lakers killed the entire Clippers, but I don't know if the Lakers disdain it, or the Clippers strive for it.The situation in the second quarter changed drastically, Qin Tao replaced the Lakers' substitute.

The biggest shortcoming of the bench lineup is the No. [-] position, but the Lakers' bench lineup also has strengths. An All-Star power forward, Lamar Odom, appeared on the Lakers' bench.Lamar's talent is good, but he often loses focus.Today, the nightclub king's mind wasn't on the court again.

The Clippers still continued the main lineup in the first half, and Mike Dunleavy didn't want the Lakers to lead by a large score at halftime.Because there are very few media in Los Angeles that support them, and the Los Angeles Sports News is the largest one. They must not embarrass Buck too much on this special night.Therefore, Dunleavy still sent his main force to play.

With strong and weak, with 100% investment in the Lakers 80.00% investment.The Clippers finally seized the opportunity to hit a climax.

Seeing the sudden change of situation on the field, Qin Tao didn't show any expression of dissatisfaction.He still had his trademark smile on his face.

"Charles, the Lakers' strong performance in the first quarter seems to be just a flash in the pan!" Smith said in a mocking tone.

"Don't worry, Qin's mind is very clear." Barkley seemed to have seen through everything on the field, but he said in a closed manner: "But I can't say it now, just wait and see later!"

Smith also felt that there seemed to be a hint of conspiracy on the field, so he didn't continue to mock, but observed some details on and off the field more carefully, in order to see any clues.

The half-time game was spent by the profligacy of the Lakers' substitutes and the desperate efforts of the Clippers' main players. The Clippers led 55 to 56 by one point. Such a score made the protagonist who is about to debut at Staples show a little smile on his face .

……

"Mr. Barker?" Qin Tao came to the locker room with a Lakers jersey and said to an old man, "This is a jersey tailored for you by our fans, try it on."

Seeing this scene, the smile on Buck's face disappeared, and he looked at Qin Tao ferociously, with a murderous look in his eyes, which was as cold as the temperature outside the gymnasium.Qin Tao shivered, "This old man's eyes are still sharp. Thinking, Qin Tao stuffed the clothes to Buck and then turned and left.

******
Buck, who was wearing a Lakers uniform, came out of the locker room grumblingly. When Buck passed through the player tunnel, the entire Staples Center resounded with the strongest cheers of the season.A mass of flames ignited crazily in the Staples Center.

"Buck came to the center of the court." Buck said in a teasing tone: "The clothes on his body are not the same as ordinary Lakers jerseys. I don't know what old Buck is feeling now."

"You can tell by the look in his eyes, maybe you will be killed by his eyes after a while." Smith said lightly.

Bark, who came to the center of the court, glanced at Barkley bitterly. His jersey was indeed different from the general Lakers jersey.Where the player's name is written on the jersey reads "Buck the Mouth".Where the number should have been written, it said, "I'm sorry for the Los Angeles fans, sorry for the Los Angeles Lakers."

It was a shame to wear such clothes in front of more than 1 fans, but this is not over yet, waiting for Buck to apologize in front of all Lakers fans.Apologizing in front of the group of people he hated the most, how could this small-bellied Buck bear it?But if he doesn't apologize, his reputation will be ruined, and he will never have to raise his head in front of the media again.The Los Angeles Sports Daily he founded will also become a vassal of others.

Suppressing the shame in his heart, Buck took the microphone from Qin Tao.Hmm, haw, buck didn't say a word for a long time, Qin Tao stood on the sidelines, looking at Buck with no expression on his face.

"I am here and I sincerely apologize to all the fans of the Los Angeles Lakers." Buck finally said the most difficult words in his life. "The head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers is a great head coach, and he will bring the Los Angeles Lakers back to their former peak."

These two short sentences made many Lakers fans ecstatic. It is not a pleasure to watch the person they hate the most heroically fall, but seeing their enemy apologize to themselves when they are mentally tortured is absolutely It's a very refreshing feeling.

After the apology was finished, a relieved expression appeared on Buck's face, but he didn't intend to go down. Against the boos from the Staples Center, he said: "The Los Angeles Lakers will succeed, but at least today The late derby is not over yet, and this season may be the closest in strength between the two teams. I believe the Los Angeles Clippers can overthrow the Los Angeles Lakers here, are you right? Great head coach?" said Buck at the end He looked at Qin Tao.

Qin Tao put away the smile on his face, took the microphone from Buck, and said, "No, the City of Angels will always belong to the Lakers." After speaking, Qin Tao looked at Buck with disdain.Buck also looked annoyed, 'Why did you have to say so much at the end?Let this kid pretend? '

Qin Tao ignored Buck and went straight to the locker room. The team's tactics for the second half haven't been arranged yet!On the way to the locker room, Qin Tao suddenly felt like laughing out loud.In fact, the reason why the Lakers were evenly matched with the Clippers in the first half was largely due to Qin Tao letting go.During such a long time of verbal wars, Qin Tao has a very clear understanding of Buck, the old man's character.

It's a typical case of wanting to save face and suffer, and the apology made him lose face, so he must get it back.If the Lakers lead the Clippers by a big score at halftime, Buck will definitely look for opportunities in the future.But first, the Lakers don't have a big lead, and the Clippers still have a chance to win the game, so Buck will definitely take the opportunity to speak harshly.If the Lakers beat the Clippers at the end of the game, then Buck would be slapping himself, wouldn't it be better?

Back in the locker room, Qin Tao took out the tactical board, drew a few lines roughly on it, and said, "In the second half, we still follow our starting lineup, with Lamar replacing Kwame. Chris will step up to the center position. Then we're going to pick up the pace and beat them to the ground at the end of the third quarter and let them see what we're capable of."

……

For many people, although today's highlight has come to an end, another one has just begun.
