249 Chapter 257: One day at leisure

The afterglow of the sun is still trying its best to shine on the world, but it still can't stop the slow approach of night.Standing in front of the window of the room, Qin Tao looked at the red clouds all over the sky with his hands on his hips, and let out a sigh of relief, "One day just passed by like this."

He reached out and touched his forehead, only to realize that he hadn't eaten lunch yet.On this day, he was alone in the room thinking about how to deal with the Spurs. Long before the start of the season, he made a new season plan that clearly pointed out that the Lakers have two teams in the regular season of the new season. Can't lose.One of them is the San Antonio Spurs, and the other is the Miami Heat.

Even if they lose to their old enemy, the Boston Celtics, they cannot lose to these two teams, because Boston has declined in recent years, and even if they lose to them, they will not meet in the finals. The hatred is very low, because this generation of Boston and Los Angeles have never played against each other in the finals.But for the San Antonio people, the Lakers have always had the idea of ​​​​eating them alive.

Since time entered the 21st century, the Lakers have met the Spurs every time in the playoffs. The two teams have a mutual record of 3 wins and 2 losses, and the Lakers are slightly ahead.But that's all in the past. Just last season, the Lakers came close on the road, and they were able to complete a super reversal that no one has ever done in the history of the NBA. Unfortunately, in the end they still returned with hatred, watching the Spurs Won the O'Brien Cup.The hatred between the two teams has penetrated into the players' bones, and the game on the 30th must be a very hot scene.

For a whole day, Qin Tao sat in his study and studied the materials of the Spurs. If he wanted to deal with a team like the Spurs, he had to understand him thoroughly.This season, the Lakers have introduced new players, and the Spurs have also joined.Nazr Mohammad is the new aid introduced by the Spurs this year. They have never had a particularly strong personnel at the center position, but this black big man can give the Spurs more help on the defensive end. That's enough for Tim Duncan's Spurs.

The previous hatred between the Los Angeles Lakers and the San Antonio Spurs will naturally allow media reporters to have a large number of "goods" to hype, but what makes them even more excited is the new hatred between the Lakers and the Spurs this season.Originally, there have been media rumors that Gregg Popovich has always been interested in recruiting the Dallas Mavericks' abandoned general Michael Finley.Some media even claimed that the Spurs had offered Finley a three-year, 700 million contract, but the Lakers snatched him away.This left the Spurs without a strong substitute, which also played a role in intensifying the hatred between the two teams in the regular season.

At this time, the sound of closing the door sounded.A smile appeared on Qin Tao's face.He quietly walked downstairs, Tian Yu walked into the kitchen with the vegetables bought from the supermarket, and he suddenly hugged her behind him.

"Ah!" Tian Yu exclaimed.

Qin Tao put his face next to Tian Yubai's tender face, and said softly, "Honey, you are tired."

Tian Yu blushed and said angrily: "Who is your wife, really. Why are you still the same as before, no one is serious."

"If I was so serious, would you like me?"

Tian Yu's face turned even redder, she snorted, and said, "I don't want to say anything to you bastard, you were the one who caused me to cry for the first time in class before, hum! Bad guy."

"Cough!" Qin Tao coughed in embarrassment, Tian Yu's first cry did have something to do with him.At that time, he put the cockroach's body in Tian Yu's pencil case, and when he was about to pick up a pen in class, he saw a small bug lying there quietly, and he cried in fright.

"Okay, can't you just stop talking about the original embarrassment?" Qin Tao puffed up his chest and said, "To express my apology, let's go shopping tomorrow, shall we?"

Tian Yu gave Qin Tao a white look, and said, "It's lonely at home, isn't it?"

"No! I think we are all too tired, let's go out for a stroll together tomorrow!" Qin Tao pulled Tian Yu to the side of the sofa, sat down, and said, "If you feel sorry for Zhang Pinhui and the others, at worst, call them Come out together! Brand promotion is not just about exhausting people, if Leo becomes the highly anticipated superstar in the NBA, everything will be much easier!"

"You sound good, how can it be so easy! Leo is not a god, he can become a superstar overnight." Tian Yu gave Qin Tao another look.

"I say it's fine, this kid has a lot of potential, but he hasn't realized it yet, and everything will be OK when he becomes enlightened." Qin Tao assured.

"Okay! There are many reasons for you. You can call him and talk to him later! But to be honest, without promoting this brand, Zhang Pinhui and Zhang Jie are tired enough for so long. They are worse than you as the head coach. Tired!" Tian Yu said as she walked into the room to change clothes.

Qin Tao took out his mobile phone in the living room and called Zhang Pinhui.

"Hey, why is Boss Qin calling me when you have time?" Zhang Pinhui's words were vague, it was obvious that he was eating!

"What big boss, brother, I am at best a senior wage earner."

"You always have your own brand and are you still a wage earner? I asked someone to modify the logo you sent last time, and I will show you next time."

"Get out, I didn't come to you today to talk about work. Tomorrow, let me put down all the messy work, and let's go out for a day."

"Where do I have time now! I'm still discussing with your wife today about signing another endorsement star!"

"Go away! Why do you have so much endorsement fees? Well, let's not talk about work today. You just remember that Leo Bailey is the biggest star you signed. I believe in his potential and don't talk about other things. Let’s talk about it after we have promoted the brand. Don’t talk about it. I’ll pick you up at [-] o’clock tomorrow morning. If you don’t come out, I’ll tie you up. Oh, by the way, Du Peng is mine. Be careful. A little bit." Qin Tao's words could not be questioned at all, Zhang Pinhui could only nod his head, and he also knew that Qin Tao wanted to let him rest.In fact, Qin Tao's starting point is to let himself rest...

"Well! Alright! That's it. Come and pick me up tomorrow morning! I'll talk to Du Peng." Zhang Pinhui said, he has lived with Du Peng since he came to the United States.Although houses in the United States are cheaper than those in China, they still cost money...

At home in the evening, Qin Tao spent another night with Tian Yu, and he didn't know what the two of them could have.

This is just an ordinary night for many people, but for Qin Tao, such a leisurely night is really rare!When the morning sun shone through the window into Qin Tao's villa, he and Tian Yu were having breakfast and getting ready to go out. This was a rare leisure time during the season.

Qin Tao drove the car to pick up Zhang Pinhui and Du Peng first, and then picked up Zhang Jie.He stepped on the accelerator and went straight to Rodeo Drive, the most luxurious shopping street in Los Angeles, where luxury goods in Los Angeles gather.Perhaps Qin Tao is wearing clothes provided by Armani, but other people also need to use these luxury goods to style their desks. Anyway, they are all out shopping. Where else can they go if they don’t go to Rodeo Drive?

A few of them met a lot of American stars in the morning. Of course, it was only then that Qin Tao realized that he was also a star in the eyes of others.In Dolce & Gabbana's store, they met a couple with a child.Originally such a combination was very common, but the kid rushed up very excitedly after seeing Qin Tao.

"Mr. Qin, it's great to see you here. Could you please sign me?" As he spoke, the child took out a notebook with the Lakers logo from his backpack, and the notebook looked It's been a few years.The child's parents walked up and smiled at Qin Tao, and Qin Tao took the notebook handed over by the child without hesitation.In fact, he is quite beautiful in his heart. It turns out that it feels so good to be paid attention to by others!He didn't have much time to go shopping in Los Angeles. It turned out that he was paid attention to at the release hall or the airport. This was the first time he encountered someone asking for his autograph in a shopping mall.

He opened the child's notebook and found that there were almost all the signatures of the Lakers players on it, even the signatures of those retired Lakers legends were listed on it.Obviously, the kid is an avid Lakers fan.Seeing Qin Tao looking at those autographs, the child said excitedly, "Mr. Qin, this book is actually my father's collection. He gave it to me three years ago."

Only then did Qin Tao look at the gentle and elegant middle-aged man. It was hard for him to imagine that such an elegant man would be a fanatical fan. Such a person couldn't be combined with the fans who shouted wildly in the stadium.Seeing Qin Tao's gaze, the middle-aged man looked at his wife full of love, "I was indeed an avid football fan before I got married, but my wife was worried that I would go home late at night after watching the game, so I I can only cheer for the Lakers at home. And this book was actually given to me by my father, and now I call it to him." He said, and he looked at the child kindly.

Qin Tao smiled, turned the notebook to a blank page and signed his name. His signature was a combination of Chinese and English. When he returned the notebook to the kid, the kid jumped up excitedly when he saw the signature . "Ouch! I have another one in my collection, haha!"

After the couple bid farewell to Qin Tao, they took their children and left, but Qin Tao thought a little bit: "In Los Angeles, how many fathers take their son to see the Staples when he was five years old?" What?" What these fans pass on to the next generation is the past glory and memory of the Lakers, while what the Los Angeles Lakers want to pass on is victory, glory and championships.All of this constitutes the aristocratic soul of the Los Angeles Lakers...
