Chapter 135 137: The Crazy Plan
137: Crazy Plan
The Lakers have been entangled with the Suns using their unfamiliar defense plus positional offense plus superstar mode.The Phoenix's aggressive tactics seemed like a heavy punch that had been brewing for a long time, but in the end they missed the spot, and their tactics didn't really play the energy it should have.

At the end of the three quarters, the Lakers trailed the Suns by 77 points 80-3 away.Such a score is not normal for all the fans who come to watch the game, but for Qin Tao it is the best score.

"Shall we attack in the fourth quarter?" Brown-Shaw did not forget the sharp counterattack of the Los Angeles Lakers.

"Don Anthony also wants us to do the same." Qin Tao said lightly.

"Then we're still on the defensive?"

"Of course, it's still defensive."

Brown Shaw shook his head and went to tell the players about the tactical arrangements for the fourth quarter.When they heard that the game in the fourth quarter was still dominated by defense, the players had no objection.In their hearts, Qin Tao has become the absolute core of the Lakers off the court.Kobe's character is not suitable for being the core off the court at all. His persistence and tenacity are the best candidates for the core on the court.His desperate fighting can always affect the teammates next to him, his desire for victory can also infect his teammates, and his ultimate killer ability can help the team win.But his taciturn, proud and cold personality is not suitable for being the boss in the team's locker room.

Under such circumstances, and because of Qin Tao's deliberate actions, he became the core of the Lakers locker room.Kobe was only responsible for attacking the Lakers on the court, while Qin Tao was responsible for all staffing and tactical application.It can be said that there are two cores in the Lakers, but Qin Tao is the core of the Lakers more often. His emotions can affect the emotions of most people, and his thoughts can affect the performance of the entire team.

Qin Tao still hasn't changed here, but the Phoenix Suns on the other side have to make changes.The physical strength of the Suns players is no longer enough to support their continued mad attack, so Don Anthony decided to slow down the offensive rhythm in the fourth quarter. When attacking in the position, the Suns chose to use the pick-and-roll to open up the offensive space instead of Rely on breakthrough.But their counterattack speed will not slow down at all. The fast counterattack has always been the basis of their pride and dominance of the alliance.

After the start of the final quarter, Qin Tao has been sitting on the coach's bench. He is wearing sunglasses, and no one knows where his eyes are staring.However, most people guessed that he was not watching the game, because his head seemed to be lowered all the time.In fact, he has been looking at the floor under his feet, giving the impression that he is in a daze.But in fact, he was thinking, his mind was running at high speed, he was always thinking about how to play the next game, and whether the Lakers could win without going through the final "tie-break".

"The Lakers still chose to defend in the fourth quarter. Can they persist until the end to win?"

"I always feel that today's game has a different feeling."

"Come on! Charles, leave your conspiracy theory to yourself to appreciate!"

"You..." Barkley immediately interrupted what he was about to say, his tone changed, and said: "Nash, hit a three-pointer. Then there was another steal, and this is another opportunity for the Suns to counterattack...Joe—Johnson, Threes — hits — the Suns got their morale up, their counterattacks came up, and the Lakers defense was showing signs of breaking down, and they weren’t familiar with that kind of defense.”

The Suns extended their lead to 13 points, and they have been consolidating their lead. Although the Lakers also launched a counterattack afterwards, Kobe’s jump shot scored the Lakers’ points repeatedly. They also approached the score, but Nash always helped the Suns save the day at critical moments. .When the final whistle sounded, the Lakers only approached the score in the last quarter. They narrowed the point difference to 2 points at the most, but the Phoenix people are not the kind of team that is easily overturned. 97 to 102, the Phoenix Suns The team won the victory without any risk at home, and they led the Lakers with a total score of 1-0.

At the post-match press conference, Qin Tao changed his previous style of talking about getting back even if he lost the game. Facing the reporter's question, he said gently: "We lost to the Suns in this game today. , this is because of our lack of preparation, and the reason why the opponent is too strong, I am convinced that I lost this game."

Don Anthony was very comfortable hearing what Qin Tao said.He suddenly felt that the young man next to him was not as unreasonable, stubborn and rigid as rumored, almost the same as an old man.This is an open-minded and studious young man!

At this time, another reporter asked: "Mr. Qin, you used a defense that the Los Angeles Lakers are not good at in this game, so what are you going to do in the next game? Do you still use defensive tactics?"

"The next game?" Qin Tao's face changed, and he warned himself in his heart, 'The critical moment has come, hold on tight. After a while of silence, he continued: "In the next game, I think we need to attack more decisively. In fact, we don't have a chance in this game. It's just that we are hesitant when we don't have enough grasp of a few balls. We lost to ourselves in the first game! But I think we played very well in this kind of defense, and the next game should be based on defense!"

After hearing what Qin Tao said, Don Anthony sneered in his heart and said, "We did not prepare enough for this game. Do you really think you are Gregg Popovich? Defensive? I'll let you see how effective your defensive tactics are." How bad."

Qin Tao turned his head and glanced at Tang Anthony, who was holding back his laughter, and said with a smile in his heart: "This old boy has caught the trick! The next game is guaranteed to be won."

Afterwards, Qin Tao didn't say much in front of Tian Tian, ​​but repeatedly stated that he would defend to the end.And Chris Webber and Caron Butler, who were taken by him to attend the press conference, also said that the team had already started training defensive tactics, which created an illusion to the outside world that the Lakers would carry out the defense to the end .

And another outsider, after watching the TV report of this press conference, became more firm in his thinking, "This is definitely a conspiracy, and the Chinese are best at using this kind of conspiracy." If Qin Tao knew about it, he would be shocked into a cold sweat. In fact, this was a conspiracy designed by Qin Tao. After the game against the Mavericks, he carefully studied the Suns and their coach, Mr. Anthony Tang. After thinking about it, he decided on such a plan, which seemed crazy.
