Chapter 90 091: The Lakers Famous at the Banquet

091: The famous Lakers at the banquet

The sun is shining warmly on the streets and alleys of Los Angeles, and the dry branches have already drawn a hint of green.

Now that the entire league has entered the All-Star Weekend, there will be no games this week.This week can be regarded as a holiday in the NBA without a winter break.Like the winter break of many European football leagues, the NBA's All-Star weekend is also a watershed.There are many teams that performed poorly before the All-Star Game will choose to start after the All-Star Game.And some teams that played bravely in the early stage will show their fatigue in the second half, that is to say, those teams with the potential to compete for the championship will show up after the All-Star Game.

The players are beginning to enjoy the one-week vacation brought by the All-Star Game, and the team will not have training this week.And today the official of the Los Angeles Lakers will hold a celebratory banquet at the Hilton Hotel.Everyone thought at the beginning of the season that the greatest team in the league was going to enter the dormant period again, but in the middle of this season, the team started the road to revival, only after such a short dormant period. Revival, it does need to be celebrated.At the same time, this is also an alternative celebration banquet for the Chinese coach Qin Tao of the Lakers. He can bring the Lakers into the championship again, and he has given Los Angeles confidence. What an exciting thing.

……

The Lakers took over the entire first floor of the hotel, and today the Hilton Hotel did have a lot of people.Among these people, there are representatives of the Lakers fan club, the media, Hollywood stars, and Lakers celebrities. Even the mayor of Los Angeles, Antonio Villaragueza, came to the scene of the Lakers halfway celebration banquet.

As soon as Qin Tao walked into the hotel lobby, he found that it was extremely lively.Many sharp-eyed people saw Qin Tao coming in and came up to greet him. Everyone knew that Qin Tao was one of the protagonists of the banquet today.Qin Tao came to the side of Lakers owner Jerry Buss and other high-level Lakers.

Kareem-Jabbar first came up to say hello to Qin Tao, then he warmly hooked Qin Tao's shoulder and said, "Qin, thank you for making me a good boy, now I practice every day That kid doesn't feel lonely anymore, haha!"

Qin Tao nodded with a smile on his face, and said: "Los Angeles has always been known as the city of giants and the city of centers. The jerseys of three of the four most famous centers in NBA history are flying over Staples, which is enough to explain the problem. .”

"Haha!" Jabbar hooked Qin Tao and laughed loudly.Next to him came a black man more than two meters tall. Although his muscles were not as strong as before, they still looked very strong. "Qin, when will you find me a point guard! That kid Kareem drills Kwame Brown like a dead dog every day, I'm so lonely!"

Magic Johnson, the most unusual point guard in NBA history, the Magician who can play all five positions helped the Lakers win a championship in his rookie season. "Isn't the guy who is hailed by the media as the successor of the magician in Los Angeles now?" Qin Tao said with a smile.

The magician was obviously taken aback, and said: "You mean that kid Lamar? No, that kid's mind is completely useless on the court. He is very talented and spiritual, but he doesn't care! This kid who is full of the status quo, We wouldn't have had such a miserable time early in the season if we had half as much effort as Kobe."

"Now our tactics require a lot of passing! Especially for big men's passing." Qin Tao's eyes flashed with cunning, "Chris Webber and Kwame Brown's passing skills are not enough where!"

Abdul-Jabbar laughed loudly again: "Johnson, aren't you lonely? The task of teaching Kwame Brown's passing skills is entrusted to you!"

Only then did the magician come to his senses, he had followed the path of this boy Qin Tao, and the most disgusting thing was that he dug the hole himself. "Okay! You won, kid." Johnson said helplessly, punching Qin Tao's chest.

Just when the three of Qin Tao were chatting and laughing happily, another buddy who was famous all over the league at that time appeared.Jerry West, the villain dribbling on the NBA trademark is the signature move of West's breakthrough that year. "What's the matter! So happy?"

"It's nothing, Johnson was cheated by this kid and trained Kwame and Chris' passing for free." Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said carelessly.

West didn't speak, and looked at Qin Tao carefully.This was the first meeting between him and Qin Tao, "You are a very good Chinese kid, I believe the Lakers will embark on a road to the top in your hands."

"Jerry hasn't missed it yet!" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said, "The choice of Kobe and Derek in 96 has his influence! So, Qin can really set Los Angeles on a peak that has never been reached before? Beyond the pinnacle we've created?"

Qin Tao glanced at Jabbar and complained, "Karim, so you still don't believe that I can lead the Lakers beyond the peak you created!"

Abdul-Jabbar smiled awkwardly, "No, absolutely not."

West spoke again to resolve Kareem's embarrassment, "I went to watch the last game against Boston." His voice was very soft, as if he was just talking to Qin Tao alone.Seeing that West seemed to have something to say to Qin Tao, Jabbar and the magician both left and went to chat with other people. "I'll go to every Los Angeles game against Boston," West continued.

"I know that among these people, you and Boston have the deepest hatred." Qin Tao pouted and said.

West nodded irrefutably, "That's right, they stepped on my corpse to reach the highest peak. Every time I face Boston, I even want to kill them."

"What do you want to say to me?" Qin Tao frowned slightly, "Just to let me hear your hatred for Boston?"

West looked at Qin Tao in surprise, and said: "Actually, I came to you for nothing, I just want to ask you, how sure are you to bring Los Angeles to the top again? You must know that Boston has been actively Ready to rebuild. I don't want the tragedy of that year to happen again."

"I will not let the tragedy happen again." Qin Tao said firmly: "But didn't you just say that I can lead the Lakers to the top?"

West laughed dumbly, "I just wanted to say hello to you, but I suddenly remembered that we reached the finals every year, but lost to Boston every time." He said, clenched his fists, His eyes shot out hatred.The Celtics' eight consecutive championships is almost a history of the battle between Boston and West.

"Uh..." Qin Tao was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say, but West said: "The tactics you used in these two games are very useful and very simple. It's good to simplify complicated things, but It's not a good thing if you type such simple words from beginning to end."

"What can you do to solve the flaws in tactics?" Qin Tao frowned. This strategy has advantages, but it also has fatal flaws. What the Lakers are most afraid of is that their opponents will "grind" them.And the Pistons, which defeated the Lakers to win the championship last year, happen to be a team that can "grind" people to death.Qin Tao knew this.

"What can I do?" West spread his hands, "But one person must have a way."

"Who?"

"Tris Winter, the founder of the triangle offense, Zen master Phil Jackson's good teacher and helpful friend." West said slowly: "But now his whole family is on vacation in Hawaii, if you need it, I can take it this summer You go to him. I know him quite well."

"No problem, I will." Qin Tao glanced at West gratefully.At this time, the beautiful Spanish secretary from Bath came to Qin Tao and West, reminded them that the banquet was about to start, and invited them to sit down.

Qin Tao and West followed the gentle and sexy Spanish girl to their seats, waiting for the banquet to start.

"What did West talk to you about?" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who was sitting next to Qin Tao, asked, "Did he say something related to those sons of bitches in Boston? Just get used to it, Jerry is one of us I hate Boston the most."

"I thought you were quite generous! It turns out that you all hold grudges so much!" Qin Tao said unexpectedly.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar blushed and said, "No way, it's just a tradition. I think everyone who wears the purple and gold jersey will be jealous when they see Boston!"

"Okay! To be honest, I hate them too, but at the time it was true that the Lakers couldn't beat them and there was nothing they could do."

At this time, Bass had already stepped onto the stage set up at the front of the hotel at zero hour, and Qin Tao and Kareem also stopped communicating.
