Chapter 295 304: Pillar of Utah
The new year is coming soon, and the annual rings of time have turned around again.Some people are getting old gradually, while others are growing rapidly.This is the law of this, Wuzhishan where no one escapes time.Maybe you can fight against time with your own willpower, but you will never be able to win. This is an iron law that no one can break.
However, there is one person who, year after year, still sticks to that place, clinging to his dream.His pursuit may not be big, he wants a ring, but he still can't wait for the opportunity.Their best two chances met Michael Jordan, and they became the biggest foil for the basketball god. Perhaps without the foil of Utah, it would not appear how great the basketball god is.
However, time has passed, Utah Shuangsha left the NBA, and the opponents of the year have also left.But here, there is still an old man who persists.His black hair has gradually turned into white hair, and his body is getting worse day by day, but he is still worried about letting others continue to write his legend, and he wants to continue the legend.
He is creating records every day, his spirit can make opponents applaud for it, and what he insists on can move anyone.Jerry Sloan!A respectable old man, he waited for a full 18 years in Utah just for a ring. Although he still couldn't see the hope of getting the ring, he always led his disciples to persevere.
Today, they came to the Staples Center again.On the first day of the new year, Utah became the first guest of the new year at the Staples Center.
At the press conference before the game, Qin Tao gave the Utah Jazz a very high evaluation.
"The Utah Jazz are a great team. They're different from the other 29 teams in the NBA, including the Los Angeles Lakers."
"I respect Jerry a lot. He is a respectable old man. In the next two games, we will face Utah twice. I am confident that we will win both."
When the reporter asked Jerry Sloan a question, the coach gave Qin Tao and the Los Angeles Lakers a very high evaluation.
"If there is any team in this league with the ultimate potential, I think it must be the Los Angeles Lakers. Who is this year's championship you want to ask? I would like to say it is us, but I am ashamed that Utah does not have This strength. I think the team most likely to win the championship this year is the Los Angeles Lakers."
"Qin Tao is the last potential and strength I have ever seen, as well as the most talented head coach, bar none. He is a miracle created by God."
This may be the first time that the reporters felt bored when participating in the press conference of the Los Angeles Lakers. Qin Tao also participated in the entire press conference this time, but what he revealed was not as good as when he usually stayed in the conference room for 5 minutes. many.The last time the Los Angeles Lakers faced the Utah Jazz, reporters were still hyping the Lakers' winning streak, but this time, what can they hype?The recent record of the Lakers can only be said to be normal, what else can they speculate?After thinking about it, they found that hyping up the relationship between Qin Tao and Jerry Sloan was actually not bad, because from all indications, Qin Tao respected Jerry Sloan very much.
Tomorrow fans will see news such as this in the newspapers, "The young coach of the Lakers respects the old coach of Utah", "What is their relationship?" "," Does everything in Los Angeles have anything to do with Utah? "
The reporters were thinking, while Qin Tao and Sloan chatted in the channel.
"I'll buy you a drink after the game, Jerry." Qin Tao said with a smile and no doubt.
Jerry Sloan laughed and said, "Your tone of voice is very different from last year's you. You've grown up so fast! It seems that I'm getting old."
"You are old but you will never feel that you don't have a job!" Qin Tao pretended to be envious, "In Utah, you alone hold up a piece of sky, and you also have many talented players, such as Deron Williams , this is a good rookie!"
"Speaking of rookies, the kid you got named Leo Bailey is really good! My old man still has this kind of vision. He is not like what the media said a while ago. He is a A kid with great potential!" Jerry Sloan's eyes lit up with a different kind of light, obviously he could see the potential hidden in Leo Bailey's body.
"This boy Leo...haha!" Qin Tao smiled, obviously he had high expectations for him.
"Okay, let's talk after the game is over! It's nice to chat with you! But when you lose the game, don't give me fake wine!" Jerry Sloan blinked, road.
"Oh! See you after the game!" Qin Tao laughed.
After the two of them separated, Qin Tao returned to the locker room and began to arrange tactics. He didn't use any drugs against the Jazz. He just used a simulator to simulate the game, and then he still had to talk about some issues in front of the players.Even facing the team he respects the most, he is not willing to lose the game!
Soon, the game began.Against the Jazz, Qin Tao didn't make any fuss. It seemed that the match against Utah was the most "peaceful" game for the Los Angeles Lakers.In fact, when Los Angeles and Utah really meet in the playoffs, Qin Tao will definitely not be polite. If he can sweep the game, he will definitely not lose an extra game. But now it is the regular season, and in this way, he pays his respects to the people he admires the most. , nothing bad.
In this game, fans still saw Kobe's chic and coquettish performance, Chris Webber's domineering charm in the inside, and Kwame Brown showed his control of the rebound without showing any signs.But more of them saw the persistence of the Utah Jazz. In the game, Los Angeles once widened the point difference to 19 points, but the Jazz narrowed the point difference.
The gap between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Utah Jazz is here. After leading more points, Los Angeles is easy to relax, but Utah will not.After falling behind, they will work harder to recover the score. They will not care about the point difference like a gap. They only have one belief-the game will not be decided until the last second.
In the end, the Los Angeles Lakers narrowly beat the Utah Jazz by three points at home.Qin Tao was quite satisfied with this result. After he returned to the locker room, he praised the players and then walked towards the press conference room.The team's situation is fairly normal recently, without the previous strong winning streak, but there is no constant climax in anything, there must be a trough after the climax, and now the Lakers are in a period of adjustment.
If Qin Tao is willing to give the players unlimited drugs in each game, he can quickly pass this adjustment period, but his father is not a coal boss, so he ran out to buy LV, not asking how much it is, but asking about it How much money can it hold.Besides, there is really no coal boss in this controller.
The progress of the press conference once again entered into a state of incomparable harmony. Qin Tao praised Sloan and Jazz again, and then the reporter simply didn't ask him any questions. Anyway, the things that are asked can be thought of casually. Words have no value at all.The reporter stopped rushing to ask Coach Qin Da coach, this seems to be really the first time!
After the press conference, Qin Tao and Sloan came to a coffee shop together.Sloan doesn't have much time, and he will soon take the team back to Utah, where they will wait for the Los Angeles Lakers' door-to-door challenge.
"At our home court, Los Angeles is very difficult to win and leave!" Jerry Sloan picked up his glass, took a sip, and said.
"Really? Basketball is a round thing, who can say for sure? Last year, who knew that Chris Webber would be injured on the last ball?" Qin Tao shrugged, and after Jerry Sloan His attitude in front of him is that of a junior, completely without the arrogance of the past.
"Hehe! Let's not talk about this issue, let's talk about this year's draft! Who do you think should be the best rookie?"
Qin Tao thought for a while and said, "There are only two possibilities, Chris Paul and Deron Williams. I'm not afraid that you will be unhappy. Paul is more likely to be the best rookie."
"Actually, I think so too. Let's not talk about them. Let's talk about the kid you found. He's a very good kid." Jerry Sloan frowned, and he said, "But I've observed I found that his strength is not strong, because of the gap in strength, his performance is restricted, but I recently discovered that his strength is growing rapidly, this..."
"Uh..." Qin Tao didn't know how to answer for a while, it turns out that this can also be seen by others!Then he replied: "This should be a question of personal potential! He trains harder than Kobe every day, and he should have results."
Jerry Sloan nodded without further entanglement, and then he chatted with Qin Tao about some unspoken rules of the league, and then there were a series of things like the referee's penalty scale. There is absolutely no match-fixing in the NBA. Otherwise, it is impossible for the outside world to have no rumors. There is no impenetrable wall in the world.But in the NBA, there are indeed referees manipulating the results of the game, but they will not be too blatant. As long as your team plays a clean game, there will be absolutely no problem.Of course, no team in the NBA is absolutely clean, which is the real reason referees can control the game through the whistle.
However, even if the referee interferes, there will not be too many black calls and too obvious loopholes.Even if the referee sees you unhappy, you are only at a disadvantage in the referee's penalty, and the score of the game may be 10 points worse. Although this is a seemingly irreparable gap, in the face of absolute strength, this gap It can still be compensated.
Qin Tao understands many unspoken rules of the alliance. In fact, Qin Tao has done a good job in this aspect unintentionally.All the unspoken rules of the league are nothing more than to make money, and as the head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, Qin Tao has a good relationship with the fans, and he has always targeted the media, so some of his practices are unreasonable. questionable.
The relationship between Jerry Sloan and Qin Tao is considered to be very close, and they became a pair of year-end friends very smoothly.After staying in the coffee shop for more than an hour, the two separated.
