Chapter 105: Chapter 106: The Traitor - Peyton

106: Traitor - Peyton

The two technical fouls had a great impact on the Lakers. After the first quarter, the Lakers quickly fell behind.Their outside shots have increased significantly, and they all want to slap their opponents to death, but why are the Bostonians so easy to slap to death?And the addition of outside shots is not a good thing for the now impetuous Lakers.

The decrease in shooting percentage has kept the Lakers in a state of lagging behind. At this time, it is simply unrealistic for Qin Tao to use the timeout time to change the players' opinions.However, he was able to sit calmly on the coaching bench as he already knew the result. 'referee?Bostonian?You all have to die. '

In the first half of the second quarter of the substitute competition, the Lakers trailed by 13 points.At least in the first quarter, the Lakers trailed by only 9 points, when the Lakers trailed by double digits.

"The Lakers are not good at playing against the wind!" Martin Stein sighed.

Walter said affirmatively: "Ever since the referee gave the Lakers two consecutive technical fouls in the first quarter, they have started to fall behind. Now it seems that Qin is really a young coach. Physically, he is still not prepared enough, but he will definitely become an excellent head coach in the future, I promise, he is too young."

The two commentators of ESPN were talking about him in the studio, while Qin Tao, who was in the North Shore Garden Arena, was sitting on the coaching bench with a full face and no movement. Brown-Shaw was in a hurry. "Qin, why haven't you called a timeout yet? We are falling behind more and more. Just now we were only 7 points, and now we are 3 points behind in just 13 minutes."

"Really?" Qin Tao turned his head and winked at Brown-Shaw, "Look! This second quarter only lasted 3 minutes, I will make a change in the locker room, and then give the Bostonians a fatal blow in the second half." One hit. You have to trust our players, and you have to trust me more.”

Under the persuasion of Qin Tao's extraordinary words of confidence, Brown-Shaw dispelled the anxiety in his heart. As far as the man next to him said he could win the game, the Lakers really never lost.

In the 4th minute of the second quarter, the Celtics replaced Payton.Among the Lakers' substitutes, the point guard is the weakest point. Rivers wants to take advantage of this time to strengthen his impact on the Lakers' No. 2 position.Payton, who had just been replaced, faced Lakers rookie Tony Babbitt.One is a "living fossil" in the league and the other is a rookie. The huge gap in experience makes Payton play very easily. After making two fake moves in a row, he made a strong three-pointer from outside the three-point line and made a direct hit. He also steals Odom to organize fast break points.Seeing that the point difference was about to run to twenty, Qin Tao made adjustments. He replaced Babbitt who played less than [-] minutes with Fisher, and then sat down quietly again.His gaze was still erratic, and no one knew where he was looking.The footage of the scene was shown to him several times, but no results were obtained.

"Qin, who declared victory before the game, how could he not care at this time?" Martin Stein was very puzzled, but Walter gave a terrifying answer, "Did he know that this game is going to happen?" Can you win the game? So don’t worry?” After speaking, he himself felt that something was wrong, when the live broadcaster followed Qin Tao’s gaze to capture the scene in the auditorium.

In the "green bushes", there is a touch of "yellow", and they hold posters that read "Traitors! Get out of the NBA!".The characters on this poster are familiar to everyone, "Glove" Payton, one of the "F4" of the Lakers last season.

Qin Tao found that the Lakers fans in Boston are more admirable for their courage. Those Celtics fans in Los Angeles just wore green to cheer for the Celtics. kind of poster.There were Kobe's, Webber's, and those who insulted Pierce, and now they have raised posters insulting Payton.

'Los Angeles fans in Boston, they're so well equipped! Qin Tao actually smiled when the Lakers fell behind by a big score.

……

Payton is now in Boston, and he played for Boston's rival Los Angeles last season.After one season, it can be said that he has no feelings for Los Angeles, and the loss in the finals last year cannot be said to be completely a problem of conflicts between the "OK" combination.Malone encountered a rare major injury in his career, and Payton didn't like the triangle offense. These are the reasons why the Lakers lost.

Qin Tao hated Celtics players very much before, and he even hated those players who first joined the Lakers and then went to the Celtics.This is a matter of position, which is an inherent prejudice, and there is no way to change it.

……

"If there is anyone who can stand up to save the Lakers now, it is only Chris Webber. Just now, he hit a three-pointer to help the Lakers keep the 15-point difference." Martin Stein He breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't want this game, which had played "real fire" in the first quarter, to enter garbage time early.

At this time, Qin Tao appeared on the sidelines for the first time after receiving a technical foul. He put his arms around his chest and made a time-out motion to the referee.Payton missed a shot, the ball hit the rim and went over the backboard, and the Lakers had the ball.This time, the Lakers entered the timeout immediately after the ball was dead.

It was a short timeout of 20 seconds. Qin Tao didn't arrange anything, but used this timeout to replace all the main players of the Lakers.After this substitution, he did not immediately return to the coach's bench, but stood on the sidelines with his hands folded in front of his chest.He stood like this, standing straight on the sidelines, a bit like the armed police in front of the Chinese government agencies, of course not so exaggerated.

However, Qin Tao's standing on the sidelines seems to have played a role in spurring the Lakers players. They played wonderful cooperation one after another, and their poor three-pointers also improved a bit.Kobe Bryant and Fisher hit three-pointers one after another, and then Kwame Brown completed a "three-pointer" at the basket. A wave of 9-3 spurts, the Lakers regained a little disadvantage.

At halftime, the Lakers were 41 points behind 50 to 9 away.Before entering the player tunnel, Qin Tao was stopped by the reporter of "Sports Illustrated". To the reporter's microphone, said: "I will give you a big surprise in the second half."

The reporter didn't know if Qin Tao answered his question - "What do you think about the performance of the two teams in the first half?", but it seems that what will this mysterious coach do in the second half? Amazing change!
……

"The game continues, players from both sides in the second half..." Martin Stein casually introduced the players on the field in the second half of the game for the TV audience.Suddenly, he looked at the list in his hand and the personnel on the field, his pupils shrank suddenly.
