Chapter 209 216: Is he crazy? (Please subscribe, is there any other recommendation?)

NBA2005-2006 season, the first regular season game of the Los Angeles Lakers will start tonight, their opponent is the Nuggets from Denver.

The performance of the Denver Nuggets has been sluggish since the time entered the 21st century, but since 03, they picked the NCAA player of the year Carmelo Anthony in the draft and experienced a series of blood changes. In 04, he advanced by leaps and bounds and reached the playoffs in one fell swoop.The Denver Nuggets also became the first team in NBA history to win less than 20 games in a single season and reach the playoffs in the following season.

The Lakers cannot underestimate such a team, because they have the representative of the 03 generation, Carmelo Anthony.Today's Carmelo Anthony's scoring ability is not inferior to Kobe's. Maybe he is a little worse than Peter Pan at the peak of integrity, but if he explodes, it will be very terrifying.And they have Andre Miller, the forgotten planet.

Why is it called a planet?Because he is neither a superstar that shines in the league, nor a shooting star that flies by.He ranks third among active players in assists, trailing only Steve Nash and Jason Kidd.Can you imagine?He can surpass most point guards in the league without making a sound, and he is definitely the representative of traditional point guards in the league.He always silently dedicated his brilliance, illuminating the teammates around him.Carmelo Anthony's ability to quickly occupy the ranks of the league's top scorers is inseparable from Andre Miller's passing and organization.

Not only that, before the game their head coach Michael Kopp said that his team could compete with the Los Angeles Lakers inside.Their interior has Nene, Kenyon Martin and Marcus Camby.The Nuggets' inside strength is not bad, but the Lakers' inside configuration can surpass any team in the league.Even with Shaquille O'Neal, Miami's interior configuration seems to be slightly inferior to that of Los Angeles. Of course, this kind of thing is not absolute.Qin Tao has always believed that their inside line is the best in the league, but Miami also thinks that they are the number one, and Minnesota may also think that they are the number one.

Although this team is not full of superstars, its overall strength is not bad at all.The only gap may be their coach - Michael Kopp.Michael Kopp's level may be that of an assistant coach, but everyone knows that he is just an interim coach.But even so, the Lakers still have to be careful, otherwise the possibility of capsizing in the gutter cannot be ruled out.

After studying Denver's information, Brown-Shaw said with some concern: "Qin, are you sure you want to do this? Such a starting lineup..."

"Brown, we have a lot of things that need to be adjusted in the new season, so I think this is the most appropriate way to play this game." Qin Tao said with a smile: "Also, we have been practicing this for so long, what do you think? If we don't play like this in one game, is it worthy of our long training?"

"But Denver is not weak! Will we underestimate them if we use them to run the lineup?"

"Brown, how many times have I told you to think about the problem from a different angle." Qin Tao patted Brown-Shaw on the shoulder and said: "We used the tactics we prepared for a summer to deal with Denver, this is not a slight. ! Quite the contrary, it’s how much we value them.”

"Uh..." Brown-Shaw stopped talking, he looked at Tris Winter who had been sitting by the side and didn't question Qin Tao, so he didn't say any more.

Tris Winter has been sitting on the sidelines, not saying a word from beginning to end.He is very clear about his position, all he has to do is to assist Qin Tao in formulating the tactics of the game.In the Lakers coaching staff, the three most important people are Qin Tao, Tris Winter and Brown Shaw.

It turned out that Brown Shaw mainly helped Qin Tao formulate game tactics, but now that Tris Winter has come, his main job has become organizing daily training.What Qin Tao did was make the decision, and he was the one who made the decision.Brown Shaw's current experience is not enough, Tris Winter understands very well, do your own thing well, and don't question the things that Qin Tao has decided on.If Qin Tao has to make some decisions and ask the assistant coach to correct them, then he is not suitable to sit down as the head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers.

Brown Xiao looked at his watch and said, "I'll call them in!"

"Yeah!" Qin Tao nodded. The players are coming back soon, and he has something to announce.

He stood with his back to the door, and suddenly felt a burst of noisy air coming directly behind him.He knew that the team was back.After warming up, the players were all changing their clothes. Qin Tao looked at his watch and said, "Let me talk about today's starting lineup."

As soon as Qin Tao's first sentence came out, someone realized something, and many eyes focused on Caron Butler.Caron Butler just shrugged and shook his head indifferently. He didn't take the starting position very seriously.Since that game with the Warriors last season, he hasn't thought about moving.And a big player like Los Angeles will definitely not embarrass him because of the contract issue. He feels that he only needs to play his best when he is on the court.

"Point guard, No. 9, Leo Bailey." Qin Tao's voice was calm, but his words were like a huge stone hitting a calm lake, causing waves to appear on the entire lake.The No. 9 of the Lakers is a small point guard who did not participate in the draft this year and joined the Lakers through trial training. It is recognized that he has great potential, but no one thought that he would occupy the starting position in the first game .

Even Leo, who was slowly changing his clothes, didn't think about it. He knew that the boss had a little preference for him, but he never thought that this happiness would fall on his head so quickly.After entering the NBA, he chose No. 9, which was worn by Chucky Atkins, because he wanted to stay in the Lakers for a long time, stay in the Lakers well, start from the bench, and then occupy the starting lineup.But he never thought that he could get the starting position in the first regular season when the Lakers' main point guard, Derek Fisher, was not injured or ill.

Qin Tao paused for a while and continued: "Shooting guard, No. 8, Kobe Bryant. Small forward, No. 1, Caron Butler. Power forward, No. 4 Chris Webber. Center, No. 54, Kwame Brown."

Everything else is fine, but Leo Bailey will start the first game, which makes many people puzzled.

"Is he the illegitimate son of the boss?"

"Fuck you, if you talk nonsense, you won't be afraid that the boss will chop you off."

"Uh...forget it!"

However, Derek Fisher, who was pushed out of the starting position by Leo, was very indifferent. Qin Tao talked to him after the training yesterday.For the Los Angeles Lakers, Fisher has a special sense of belonging, and he also told him his plan. He is going to get three different starting lineups, and this is just one of the choices.Fisher didn't think there was anything wrong with this, so he readily agreed.

The players didn't say much when they saw Fisher, and they all shut their mouths one after another.But fortunately, they only discussed it for a while, and no one jumped out to question Qin Tao, which shows that his cohesion in this team is still very strong.Especially Kobe, from the beginning to the end he lowered his head and changed his "equipment" without saying a word, which shows that he has [-]% trust in Qin Tao.

Time flies by as players perform the trivial task of changing clothes and footwear.Qin Tao looked down at his Armani watch and walked to the door.The players who changed their clothes also slowly came to Qin Tao's side. He slowly raised the left hand that was rumored by the media as a myth, and shouted, "What time is it now?!"

"Match time!" The answer was very loud, but Qin Tao felt that he didn't have that kind of momentum, just like the words hanging on the wall of the locker room - "Kill!" The murderous aura of the Zijin Army has not yet shown.

"What time?" he asked again.

"Match time!!!" This time the answer was much louder than the last time, Qin Tao nodded in satisfaction, opened the door and went out.

At this time, all the lights on the scene have been turned off, and it seems that a concert is being held at the Staples Center.At this moment, the fans who have been bored for a whole summer have fully stimulated the hormones they have accumulated over the summer. Their cheers soared into the sky, and their roars could shake off thousands of troops.

Amid the ups and downs of the DJ on the scene, the Lakers players appeared on the stage one by one. In the 2005-2006 season, the first game of the Los Angeles Lakers is about to kick off.

This game is broadcast by ESPN. In their studio, a commentator is holding a starting list and preparing to broadcast the starting lists of both sides to the fans watching the game in front of the TV.But he nearly swallowed his Adam's apple when he saw the Lakers' starting point guard.

"Is this list wrong?" he muttered.

"Stop mumbling, why do you care so much about him? Hurry up." His partner said.

"Isn't this bullshit?" He muttered again, and then said into the microphone: "Hello, audience friends, next we will bring you the new season opener between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Denver Nuggets. Below For the Lakers, their starting point guard is Leo Bailey, a rookie who just joined the Lakers this year. He has not been drafted. The shooting guard is Kobe Bryant, and the small forward is Caron - Butler, Chris Webber at power forward, Kwame Brown at center."

"For the Nuggets, point guard Andre Miller, shooting guard Watson Leonard, small forward Carmelo Anthony, power forward Kenyon Martin, center Nene."

"There is basically nothing wrong with this starting roster, but the Lakers' starting point guard will be Leo Bailey. I suspect there is something wrong with the roster..."

"Ah! Let's see, the game has already started, and the two sides are ready to jump the ball. The starting point guard for the Lakers is Leo, which is Leo Bailey. It seems that his NBA debut is the first game, which is really incredible. Is Derek Fisher injured? But he's on the bench?"

"God! Is today April Fool's Day? Or is that man a lunatic?"
