Chapter 98 099: Nothing to watch
099: Nothing to watch
The main theme of the second quarter was the contest between the two teams' substitutes. Larry Brown wanted to use the substitutes to widen the point difference, while Qin Tao wanted to use the substitutes to buy more rest time for the main players.The two have their own ghosts, making the whole second quarter a bit dull.

The Pistons' bench also suffered for the Lakers in last season's Finals. Eldon Campbell and Antonio McDyess are experienced inside and out.Lyndsey Hunter also did a good job of what a guard should do.

McDyess took advantage of the time when Odom was distracted and hit two points inside the top of the arc.For an experienced and fierce defensive player, the entire three-point line is within his attack range.On the Lakers bench, there is really no one better than Odom to deal with this person, but the abominable Odom is always distracted, and he has allowed McDyess to score six points in the second quarter.

Brown-Shaw, who was standing on the sidelines, glanced at Qin Tao. Qin Tao remained expressionless, and Brown-Shaw said softly, "Qin, Lamar will still..."

Qin Tao interrupted Brown-Shaw's words with a wave of his hand, and said: "It is very difficult for me to find another player like Lamar in the entire league. Now we really can't find a chance. I will find an opportunity to teach me a lesson this summer. Let him remember it forever."

Brown-Xiao looked at Qin Tao's expressionless face, and really didn't know what was going on in his heart.He turned his attention to the game again. At this time, Qin Tao said lightly: "Brown, I shouldn't focus on other things now. But I think the team needs a defensive insider. Please help me pay attention to this aspect. Talent!"

Qin Tao and Brown-Shaw were talking on the sidelines about things that had absolutely nothing to do with the game, but everything on the court was so dull.Qin Tao yelled a few times into the arena, and Odom's spirit concentrated a lot.This may be due to the equipment Qin Tao put on Odom played a role!You know, according to Brown-Shaw, since Qin Tao came to Los Angeles, although Odom still often loses his mind, his symptoms are much milder than before.Before Qin Tao came, Odom often took a nap on the court.

Only Qin Tao made one substitution in the entire second quarter—Kwame Brown was replaced by Chris Webber at 5 minutes into the second quarter.Now the Lakers only have three inside players, and Kwame Brown and Chris Webber actually have to play with the bench players for a while.This is why Qin Tao wants to get a defensive insider.

The game has been going on, very smooth, and the coaches of the two teams have never called a timeout except for the NBA's official advertising timeout.Because they don't have any tactics to re-arrange.Qin Tao has always believed in the coaching policy of "teaching students according to their aptitude and adapting measures to local conditions", while Larry Brown, like Jerry Sloan, pays attention to the tactics of "one trick is good, and it can be eaten everywhere."

The reason why Qin Tao has not been able to make changes until now is because there is nothing in his stomach.In every game, he relies on the "controller" to simulate the game to arrange tactics. Even if it is changed, the opponent must change first before he can change.But what he ran into was Larry Brown.

Kobe waited for a group of main players to sit on the bench, the sweat on his body was dry, but he had not yet been called by the head coach.Kobe frowned, ran to Qin Tao's side, and said, "Qin, why don't you let us play?"

"The time has not come yet." Qin Tao replied indifferently.

Kobe wanted to say something more, but Qin Tao said first: "Bryant, we have an agreement. You will do a strong output on the court, and I will direct." Kobe stopped talking and turned back without saying a word.

Brown Shaw glanced at Qin Tao in amazement and didn't speak. At this time, in the ESPN studio, Martin Taylor and Walter St., who were in charge of broadcasting the game, yawned, but they still had to keep watching.Martin Tate pulled off his earphones and said: "Wal, when will this dullness last! The score between the two sides is only 33 to 37. The second quarter is almost over. Both sides are still playing with substitutes. Contest."

Walter covered his mic and said, "Don't worry! There should be some improvement in the second half!"

Not only the commentator sitting in the studio, but even the audience at the scene lost the strength to cheer.The place was already stuffy to a certain extent.The game between the Lakers and the Spurs could also see Tony Parker breaking through the Lakers' defense and scoring throws, Kobe rushing to the basket for a dunk after a pick-and-roll with Webber, and so on.But now?The three-second zone was full of people, and the referee didn't know it was the first three-second violation, but there were still so many people in the three-second zone.You can't get in through the breakthrough, you can only shoot from the outside.

"Playing on the field is not as boring as usual." Martin Stein said: "What we need now is a player to stand up and break this deadlock. Up to now, the difference between the two teams is still 4 points, and the coaches of the two teams are not I am in a hurry to change players, but if we can break this balanced situation, the scene will be beautiful.”

Martin Stein's analysis was right, as long as one side broke the deadlock on the scene, it wouldn't be so dull anymore.What he said in the studio was actually Qin Tao's inner voice.What is the biggest advantage of the Lakers in this game?The Lakers have talented players, and the Pistons don't.It is often the magic of these players that determines the outcome of the game.Although Larry Brown can minimize the performance of these talented players, he can't completely prevent these players from playing. Talent is given by God, not something that Larry Brown can limit.

Qin Tao, who had been standing on the sidelines with an expressionless face, suddenly lit up. He stretched out his left index finger and pointed to the ceiling of the arena. After confirming that Odom saw his gesture, he put down his left hand and put his arms around his chest again. posture.

The camera on the scene quickly took care of Qin Tao. Martin Stein's years of experience told him that the stalemate on the court was about to be broken. He cheered up and said, "The head coach of the Lakers, Qin Tao, made a left The gesture of pointing the index finger to the sky, what does he mean?"

As soon as the words fell, his partner Walter spoke very quickly: "Lamar Odom steals the ball in the backcourt and drives straight in with a dribble. This is the first opportunity for the Lakers to counterattack in the second quarter. He Handing the ball to Walton behind him, he went to the front to block the chase and Hunter came. Walton dunked easily and scored two points for the Lakers. This may be the best time for the two teams in the second quarter. It’s easy to score once! In the past, their scoring was constantly shooting from the outside. This kind of offense is really ugly. We hope to see more goals like this.”

I don't know if Walter's words reached the scene of the game, and Lamar Odom suddenly burst into dazzling light.He first assisted Walton on the offensive end for a dunk, and then he blocked Antonio McDyess's shot on the defensive end. Kwame Brown, who took the ball before the strong, threw the ball directly to the frontcourt.When Kwame Brown passed the ball, he spun his wrist toward his body. The ball hit the front floor and bounced back. Lamar Odom dunked the ball directly after getting it.Immediately afterwards, Odom rushed to grab the rebound from the backcourt. He dribbled the ball to the outside of the three-point line and let McDyess's hand reach his face. He directly jumped up and made a three-pointer.The stalemate on the field was finally broken. In just 1 minute, the Lakers scored 7 points in a row to establish an 11-point lead.

A smile finally appeared on Qin Tao's face after more than an hour of competition.He just bullies the Pistons without super talent, and Odom's talent is considered top-notch in the NBA. This kind of God-given thing cannot be restricted by Larry Brown's steel defense.In the finals last year, if the rift between the OK combination was not longer than the English Channel, it would be impossible for the Pistons to win the championship.

Larry Brown stopped, and Qin Tao picked up the tactical board with a smile.Before this, he and Larry Brown were competing in secret. Larry Brown was unwilling to make changes in front of a junior, not to mention that his team did not have a big disadvantage, and Qin Tao felt that it didn't matter. , anyway his team is ahead.Now that Larry Brown called a timeout, it meant that he couldn't bear it in advance. In this secret confrontation between the two coaches, Larry Brown had already lost a game.
