253 Chapter 262: The Stubborn Old Man
On the night of November 11th, the United Airlines Center in Miami was filled with the cheers of fans. Amidst the waves of cheers, the Miami Heat won the Detroit Pistons. They have won 29 points since the start of the game. winning streak.And ranked third in the league with a record of 8 wins and 9 losses, continuing to put pressure on the Spurs and Lakers.
Coincidentally, Miami will head to Boston tomorrow night for back-to-back games with the Celtics.And if Miami can win, and the Spurs are defeated by the Lakers, they will have the same record as the Spurs, and they will be half a game behind the Lakers.If the Lakers lose, they will also surpass the Lakers by half a game and rank second in the league.
In other words, as long as Miami beats the Celtics back-to-back that day, they will definitely rise to second in the league.As for the Lakers, who have a deep relationship with Miami, Qin Tao is the type who wants to save face, so he will not allow the Lakers to fail no matter what.
I don't know if the league staff specially arranged such a tactic before the season, or if Stern had already reached such a situation. In short, on the day of NO.30 in November, both Boston and Los Angeles poured in A large number of reporters came to cover these two games.
In the training session before the start of the game, the old Gregg Popovich still refused to be interviewed by any media.But his actions undoubtedly made Qin Tao's situation even worse, because he had said before that it was because of Qin Tao that he refused the interview, and he also ignored the fact that his players had already accepted the interview.Just like Qin Tao's late arrival and early departure when he participated in the press conference, it has become the consensus of sports reporters that what Popovich believes will not change.
Popovich didn't reveal any news in front of the reporters, while Qin Tao spat the reporters at the press conference, even though the content he spouted made the sales of many newspapers' newspapers soar several times the next day. percentage points, but there are still many people who scold him.Even in this nearly one month, many people have become famous by scolding him.For example, the New York Times columnist, Jack Zane is like this.
The Los Angeles Lakers forum has become a gathering place for trolls in the past few days. Many fans who don't know where they came from have been spraying fiercely on the Lakers forum.This directly led to the forum scolding battle of the Los Angeles Lakers, which is rare in the history of the Lakers.
……
"Mr. Popovich, are you interested in today's newspaper?" the old man's assistant asked curiously.
"Interested? I just think these reporters are very interesting. Their level of cursing is getting higher and higher!"
"Well! I usually read the articles they wrote as short stories." His assistant, Monty Williams said with a smile: "Tonight's game was made like the finals by these reporters, no Know what they mean."
"Huh! This is the war between them and the Chinese will be decided in the near future." Popovich put the newspaper aside and said.
"Then we are not an important factor in their outcome?" Williams shrugged and said.
"That's true, but I want to see that Chinese lose more, ha ha!" Popovich picked up the white coffee cup on the table, took a sip, and said unhurriedly.
Monty Williams spread his hands and said, "Is there any reason? Sir."
"Do you want one more person to compete with us for the championship? According to the normal situation, we will meet in the Western Conference Finals, but I don't want to meet them in the playoffs again." Popovich slowly Slowly put down the coffee cup and said slowly.
"Then we must win today?"
Popovich slowly turned his head to look at Monty Williams and said: "We have to strive for victory in every game, well, we should go, I haven't shown up in front of the media for a day, and the press conference will be held soon Go shopping."
"We've had very little pressure from the media these two days!"
"Hehe! Thanks to that Chinese! Although we have never been liked by Stern, we have never been under any pressure in front of the media." Popovich put on a coat and smiled: "Sometimes it's not a bad thing to be low-key!"
"Hehe! The pressure we have been under these two days is really serious. It stands to reason that we should have been under a lot of pressure before such a game. In fact, sometimes I think that arrogant Chinese is quite cute. For example, this Once," Williams said.
"Do you think he is cute? I don't think so. He is one of the most ferocious beasts in the world! Anything he eats can't even spit out the bones. I really want to see Michael in today's game -What will Finley do. In the summer, I really want him!" Popovich smiled.
……
As night fell, Los Angeles Lakers fans once again gathered at Staples in the City of Angels, and they will usher in another grand event tonight.The Los Angeles Lakers and the San Antonio Spurs met for the first time this season. This game was regarded by many as a preview of the Western Conference Finals. Could it be so?No one knows now, but this is a scene that countless fans and the media would like to see.In addition, an ongoing game in Boston has already started, and the halftime game has ended. The Miami Heat lead Boston 55 to 46, and they have a great possibility of winning the game.
As long as Miami wins the game, the team that loses at Staples Center will drop to No. [-] in the league.And being overwhelmed by Miami is absolutely unacceptable to the Lakers, so they can only win today!There are too many reasons to win, and any one is enough for them to work hard.Of course it’s the same for the Spurs, if they are pressured by Miami because of losing to the Lakers, especially because of mutual wins, it will make them feel ashamed, absolutely shameful, so they must also work hard .
I have to say that before the start of the season, the league staff designed the schedule ingeniously. Part of the reason why the Los Angeles Lakers and the San Antonio Spurs had to fight tonight was caused by this schedule.
Qin Tao went to the toilet, smoked a cigarette, and washed his hands. He was ready to attend the pre-match press conference.As soon as he walked out of the toilet, he saw an old man approaching, "Mr. Popovich? I didn't expect to meet you here." He smiled.
"Hmm!" Popovich nodded with a half-smile.
"If you go to the press conference after going to the toilet, you will be late!"
"Aren't you often late?" Popovich said with a smile, then ignored Qin Tao and went straight into the toilet.
Qin Tao looked at the back of the old man leaving, shook his head, and walked towards the release hall.
