Chapter 73: Attitude
074: Attitude
The Lakers beat the Spurs, and just as Brown hit the final shot, the overcast sky began to rain heavily.After the storm, there is a rainbow. This heavy rain seems to be God's foretelling to people that the Los Angeles Lakers will be back again, and their ups and downs have passed.

There was a lot of people outside the stadium, and the fans were reluctant to leave for a long time, maybe it was because of the sudden rainstorm, maybe the fans didn't want to leave at all, they wanted to feel the ecstasy just now again.

After finishing the celebration with the Lakers players, Qin Tao came to Popovich very gracefully, without any gesture of a winner, shook Popovich's hand and gave him a hug.Before being a guest at Staples, the Spurs had just lost to the Suns, which ranked No. .

"Congratulations, young head coach, your final arrangement was very good, and I fell for it." Popovich didn't have much smile on his face, just like the rigid one in the army, but he still congratulated Qin Tao for his victory. won tonight.

Qin Tao has no respect or love for Popovich. He has always believed that Popovich and Larry Brown are the main culprits for destroying the gorgeous offense of the NBA. sleep. "I hope that next time we meet again, you will show your full strength." Qin Tao looked at Popovich with provocative eyes.

"It depends on whether you have the qualifications, but I still hope that we can meet in the playoffs." Popovich's face was still the same rigid, and after saying goodbye to Qin Tao, he walked into the player tunnel.

'What a rigid guy, no wonder Stern hates him so much. Qin Tao shook his head and walked towards the player tunnel. After he returned to the locker room, he would once again celebrate the victory of tonight's game with all the Lakers players.

"Mr. Qin, I am a reporter from Sports Illustrated, Stephen Lee. Can you accept a brief interview with me?" A middle-aged man with black-rimmed glasses appeared in front of Qin Tao.

Qin Tao's first reaction was that he didn't get used to it. The reporter's attitude was surprisingly good. "I think yes, but not for too long, my players are still waiting for me in the dressing room."

"Okay, Qin. It won't take you long. I want to ask what you think after winning the first confrontation with the famous coach in the league, Gregg Popovich." Stephen - Li spoke very fast, maybe he didn't want Qin Tao to delay too long!

"In the contest with Popovich, I learned a lot from the old coach. You must know that I was a San Antonio fan before this!"

"But last time you said that you have always been a Utah Jazz fan, and last time you said that your favorite in your life is the Los Angeles Lakers."

"You remember all of this..." Qin Tao said nonsense but was caught by the reporter, touched his nose, and continued: "Jerry Sloan, I respect his spirit of never giving up. , The Los Angeles Lakers are indeed my favorite team in this life, there is no doubt, but the San Antonio Spurs! I like their rigidity, they can always let me fall asleep as quickly as possible when I have insomnia.”

Stephen Lee's face changed. He never expected Qin Tao's words to change so quickly. At the first moment, he swore that he was a Spurs fan, but at the next moment, his words were full of irony for the Spurs.Fortunately, Stephen Lee is a very experienced reporter, so he immediately ended the interview. "Thank you very much, Mr. Qin, I hope we will have a chance to cooperate next time, goodbye."

"Goodbye." Qin Tao waved to Stephen Lee.

……

After Qin Tao celebrated the victory with the team again in the locker room, he came to the press conference room.At this point, the interview here has already started.Qin Tao was a few minutes late on purpose, but Popovich had already started answering reporters' questions with a sullen face.

'I don't know if the old man is angry. Qin Tao smiled and sat down in his seat.As soon as Qin Tao took his seat, Popovich turned and left.Looking at the back of Popovich leaving, Qin Tao said into the microphone: "Let's continue, there are still 8 minutes in the press conference, which one of you will come first?"

This time Qin Tao also felt that the attitude of the media had changed, and the disdain and contempt in their eyes were completely put away.Even if not, they are well hidden.

Only then did Qin Tao truly understand.These reporters really treated him as a famous coach, and his words were news.In the past, many media thought that Qin Tao would not be the coach of the Los Angeles Lakers for a long time. They all thought that the Chinese would step down soon.But they didn't expect that it was the Chinese who they thought would step down soon, leading the Los Angeles Lakers to a home victory over the San Antonio Spurs, the most promising championship this season.This time they suddenly realized that the Chinese might sit there for a long time.Through one game, Qin Tao completed the leap from "rookie" to "uncle".

Qin Tao enjoyed the feeling of being hugged by the reporters. After answering a few reporters' questions briefly, he returned to the team's locker room again.The attitude of the answer this time is still not good, but after he left, few reporters directly complained or even abused.At least Qin Tao didn't hear it.

……

"Our rise has taken the most solid step, and now no one in the league dares to underestimate us." Qin Tao returned to the locker room, and the players were almost ready, "Brothers, go back and have a good rest! Tomorrow The morning is off, and there is only one training session in the afternoon. Now, disband."

When Qin Tao followed the Lakers players to the parking lot, they were stunned by the scene before them.There were more than 100 fans standing in front of the Lakers bus in the rain. They were still cheering for the Lakers. Some people's eyes were even red, and they didn't know whether it was rain or tears on their faces.

Defeating the Spurs is even more exciting than the previous nine wins out of ten.

"Guys, I'm sorry, please forgive me for what I did wrong before. From today on, the Los Angeles Lakers will not only fight for the championship, but also for the fans." At the most appropriate moment, Qin Tao spoke the "lines" he had prepared long ago.

The fans shouted even louder after Qin Tao said these words so sincerely, Qin Tao took advantage of the situation and bowed deeply to the fans.

The Lakers players left slowly after signing autographs for the fans present... After defeating the Spurs, Qin Tao took another big step towards the title of world famous coach...
