007: Low profile is the best way to show off
"Qin Tao became the head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers." The news quickly spread around the world from Los Angeles.All the media are on the move, they want to find out who this lucky oriental boy is as soon as possible, and sit on the head coach of the Lakers at the young age of 25. 'As long as it's timely, even just making up some personal information will be big news, and won't all the bonuses roll in by then? ’ Almost all journalists thought so.

The next day, that is, January 2005, 1, US time, and January 12, China time.There are all kinds of gossip on the streets of the United States.In China, Qin Tao's file, Qin Tao's resume, Qin Tao's household registration book, Qin Tao's student status card, and some people even use the name of Qin Tao's elementary school report card to increase the popularity of the news.

But there are also many people who look at this matter from another angle. The Boston Herald was the second newspaper that Qin Tao ignored yesterday. The uncle with eyes growing into his head wrote a very sharp report. "During the review of the article, please join me in mourning for 3 minutes for the Los Angeles Lakers. Their season has just started but it is over. Their uniform team made one of the most important mistakes in the 21st century. Dongfang boy as the team's head coach? It's a joke, if they can win more than 20 games this season, it must be God's pity."

As for the Clippers hardcore who was the first to provoke Qin Tao yesterday and was ignored by Qin Tao, Carlos Barker, editor-in-chief of the Los Angeles Sports News, wrote in his column, "I feel sorry for the stupid decision made by the uniform team of our neighbors, the Los Angeles Lakers. Shame, a team with great hopes has been completely ruined by them. Their season has ended early, and I think Mitch should have done the work of next year's draft and Kobe's transfer earlier."

New York Times columnist Jack Zane doesn’t know what the reason is, maybe it’s because the Knicks have become the biggest charity in the NBA, maybe he’s envious of the achievements of the Los Angeles Lakers in the past few years, or he hates them. Envy and jealousy, anyway, is a feeling of a psychopath starting to bite people.He wrote in his column, "Los Angeles Lakers? I think they are the most powerful contender for the bottom of the league. How did that Chinese kid become the head coach? I think many people know what the Chinese are going to do They will all use the method of sponsorship! Maybe Bass has no money, or it's just that the Los Angeles people want to play badly this season."

There are many, many media that have commented on this matter, but none of the media are saying good things about the Lakers management. Even the Los Angeles Sun, the most loyal supporter of the Lakers, vented in a very polite way. own dissatisfaction. "Maybe this is a scam from beginning to end, maybe it's an April Fool's Day joke, maybe it's just a dream, the one who wakes up tomorrow and sits as the head coach of the Lakers should be Phil Jackson, the Zen Master?"

Of course, there is also a comment that is more neutral, "The new head coach of the Lakers has taken office, I hope he can bring good luck to this team that has endured hardships in the summer." This is written by Joy Smith.When he saw Qin Tao for the first time, Joey felt that if he wanted to quickly rise to the position, then this was definitely an opportunity.He had a vague sense of Qin Tao's extraordinaryness. Anyway, from the day Qin Tao attended the press conference for the first time, Joey was ready to hug his thigh.

The follow-up effect of this incident was relatively sensational, but Qin Tao only published a short article in the Los Angeles Sun, "Low-key is the best way to show off, everyone please shut up". "I'm excited and happy to be the head coach of the Lakers for the first time, but people with ulterior motives are troublesome. What's the use of these rumors? The great Los Angeles Lakers will use the victory to silence these people. Don't think I'm dodging the media right now and I'm going to tell everyone I'm a low-key guy. I've got the word 'low-key' etched on my face. You'll know what that means after the game against Cleveland the day after tomorrow. , Low-key is the best way to show off. This season's playoffs will definitely have a place for the Lakers, and then please apologize to some people with ulterior motives."

It was Qin Tao's remarks that caused a greater sensation. It is still normal in China, and everyone who knows Qin Tao feels the difference.Everyone else doesn't think this is bad news, at least there is a Chinese head coach in the NBA.But in the United States, it was different. A group of "thugs" led by Carlos Buck, a loyal fan of the Los Angeles Clippers and editor-in-chief of the Los Angeles Sports News, began to attack like a mad dog suffering from rabies.

"Low-key is the best way to show off? Low-key on your face? I don't even know where you are a liar. Just put it this way! If the Los Angeles Lakers record exceeds 30 wins this season, I will swim from the Pacific to Shanghai Take a tour to see the beauty of the Huangpu River.”

The war of words broke out in an instant. On the day of the game between the Lakers and the Nuggets, Qin Tao once again published an article in the Los Angeles Sun. Do you like gambling?Doesn't he want to visit Shanghai?Lao Tzu recommended a route for him.

"Dear Mr. Barker, congratulations on being able to go to Shanghai for free. But I think I should recommend you a more comfortable route. You can go to Hokkaido, Japan before entering China. Taste the raw fish there Then swim into the Yangtze River, go to Nanjing to see the Yangtze River Bridge in China, and finally go to Shanghai. Of course, you can choose whether to follow the "human" way or continue to swim from the Yangtze River to the Huangpu River. But if It’s just a little unfair for you to visit alone, so if we don’t make the playoffs and I crawl back to Shanghai from Los Angeles, how about it?”

Two consecutive very arrogant articles did not suppress the arrogance of those media. Qin Tao was labeled as "arrogant" in various news.

Suspicious characters often appear in his apartment.Moreover, car windows were smashed continuously in the Lakers' parking lot.Bass and Mitch's car windows had been smashed four times in three days.Qin Tao didn't care about all this at all. What he cares about now is how to lead the Lakers to victory. The arrogant words have been released. If he can't make it to the playoffs, he will be the one who will be unlucky in the end.
