The old Miller scored [-] points in the whole game. The Indiana Pacers beat the Los Angeles Lakers [-] to [-] away.

In the whole game, except for the Lakers who played two small climaxes in the first and third quarters, Miller completely dominated the game on the offensive end for the rest of the time.Bryant's 33 points and Webber's [-] rebounds were all overshadowed.

Old Miller's outburst allowed the Indiana Pacers to win this game, but then the Lakers defeated the Los Angeles Clippers in an away game, which was almost the same as at home!Both are at the Staples Center, but the floor is a different color.

This game is Tuesday local time in the United States, and the Lakers will fly to Dallas to play against the Mavericks again on Thursday.In this game, the Los Angeles people were not affected by the wild atmosphere of the local fans in Dallas. Although it was a bit difficult to win, they still won the game. They defeated their opponents 113 to 107 in the away game.However, on that day, the most striking thing was not the fact that the Lakers won two consecutive victories and were only two games away from the Mavericks' fourth place in the Western Conference, but the news of the death of one person.

After defeating the Mavericks, the Lakers boarded the flight to Charlotte non-stop. It would be their second game in nine consecutive away games. However, Qin Tao, who had just arrived in Charlotte, saw it on the hotel TV. A piece of news that stunned him.Although this incident happened earlier in the local time, probably when the game between the Lakers and the Mavericks was in progress, Qin Tao never knew that such a person left the world and flew into the embrace of God.In the early morning of the second day when this incident happened, Qin Tao, who was at the Charlotte Hotel preparing to use a simulator to simulate the next day's game, learned of the news in the rebroadcast of "NBA Time".

This issue of "NBA Time" host Kevin McCann's guest is a newly rising star among Los Angeles sports reporters, the deputy editor of the Los Angeles Sun, Joey Smith.Qin Tao is very familiar with this white-faced and beardless young man!This is a man younger than him, but with "Qin Tao's first supporter", he took the position of deputy editor-in-chief of the Los Angeles Sun.And one of the reasons why Qin Tao likes him very much is that after taking the position of deputy editor-in-chief, he still hugs his thigh tightly, and he will do his best to help him if he has anything to do.Qin Tao has always admired such a person who repays the kindness of dripping water and springs up.

Originally, he was smiling and watching this episode of "NBA Time" with a relaxed heart, but his face darkened when he watched it.This issue of "NBA Time" once again featured the Lakers, whose performance of "God's Left Hand" last week became a topic of discussion between Kevin McCann and Joey Smith.When they were discussing this topic, Qin Tao felt like he was bathed in the spring breeze, but when they talked about the next topic, Qin Tao couldn't believe his ears, and even couldn't believe what was happening on the TV screen in front of him. Play everything.

The theme of the first half of this episode of "NBA Time" is called, "Mysterious man, mysterious gesture, what kind of impact will God's left hand bring to the NBA?" The theme of the second half of this episode is called, "A bet , a joke, a life!!!"

"At 2005:3 pm on March 10, 44, US time, Carlos Buck, the editor-in-chief of the Los Angeles Sports News, the leading media in the Los Angeles sports industry, was found dead in his villa. He held a The M1911 was shot in the temple. It is said that Buck has a hobby of collecting pistols, and this M1911 is his favorite pistol.” Kevin McCann narrated the process of Buck’s death with great sorrow.

"Originally, the death of a person should not be mentioned in our show, let alone discussed as a topic, but this person's death is inextricably linked to the protagonist in our previous show!" Kai Wen McCann stroked his beard and said, "We all know that two days ago in Los Angeles and even in the whole of the United States, there was a lot of speculation about the topic of 'Carlos Barker's trip to China'. I think fans who care about this will still remember it. Profound. When the coach of the Los Angeles Lakers first took over the Lakers, he spat with Carlos Barker, the editor-in-chief of the most famous "lake black" Los Angeles Sports News in Los Angeles. At that time, they made a bet that if the Lakers With a record of more than [-] victories in the season, Barker swam across the Pacific Ocean to visit Shanghai, China. Mr. Smith by my side knows more about this matter, and I will ask him to introduce it to us."

The topic was thrown to Joey Smith. He has indeed changed a lot in the past few months, and he seems more calm. He shook his head and said, "I never thought that things would turn out like this. Old Buck wants to save face." Don't die, Mr. Qin Tao's meaning for this matter is that as long as he summons the influential media in the United States to hold a press conference to apologize in public. This point is very clear in my report and Mr. Qin Tao's column , but I don’t know why he chose to commit suicide at home. Moreover, Mr. Qin Tao himself is busy with the team’s games these days and has no time to put pressure on Buck in the media.”

"..."

Qin Tao didn't even bother to listen to the conversation between the two of them later, he turned off the TV directly, and switched the PSP in his hand to standby mode.He called for a bottle of whiskey and went to the balcony.He was only wearing a shirt, and was exposed to the cold wind of Charlotte night. The cold made his dazed head sober a lot. 'Carlos Barker would make such an extreme choice, am I doing the right thing?I have to be forgiving and forgiving, shouldn't I let Mrs. Tai apologize in front of the American media? '

Questions lingered in Qin Tao's heart, and the fog of questions kept haunting him.Lifting up the whiskey, he drank half of it in one gulp, the shirt on his chest was soaked with wine, but he didn't respond.With his hands still leaning against the railing of the balcony, he even unbuttoned the top button of his shirt, letting the cold wind wantonly pour into his chest.

Qin Tao felt a raging fire burning in his chest, the color of this fire was not the purple gold in his dream, but bright red, the color of blood.Lifting the wine bottle violently, he raised his head and took another two gulps. The fire in his chest burned even more intensely, but he still didn't want to understand whether Buck's death had anything to do with him or not.

Carlos Barker is Qin Tao's opponent. As the mortal enemy of the Los Angeles Lakers, he is very annoying, but he is also a real person!Just because of a bet, he shot himself... In the end, Qin Tao passed out drunk on the hotel bed. It was the first time since the "daily task" appeared on the controller that he failed to complete this task... Anyway, Buck also It is a person who can be awe-inspiring.Although his death was not heavier than Mount Tai, it was not lighter than a feather either.Many people say that face is more important than life, but who can make the same choice as Carlos Barker at the intersection of fate?For the sake of face, he gave up his life and looked stupid, but in fact, from another perspective, he is also great.

Don't jump to conclusions about any one thing, whether Buck's death is great or stupid, let it pass away slowly with the sea breeze in Los Angeles!
