015: The importance of a word of appreciation
On January 2005, 1, the Lakers ushered in a challenge from the Warriors at home.If it was the game between the Lakers and the Warriors last season, the scene would definitely not look good, and the result needless to say.But this season, the strength of the Lakers and the Warriors is similar. The Lakers, with 17 wins and 16 losses, rank ninth in the West.The Warriors are No. 17 in the Western Conference with 13 wins and 20 losses.Moreover, both teams are weak inside, and their outside strength is out of proportion to their inside strength.

The Warriors are the kind of team that spreads flowers and shoots the blue. If the three-pointer is shot, it is really unstoppable.The Lakers, relying on Divac's support and Kobe and Butler's use of speed to hit the opponent's inside, quickly broke through and scored.

The collision of these two teams will definitely score a big score, and the scene of such two teams will also be fierce. The highlight of this game is the score.Whoever has hot hands and is fierce will win the game.This kind of game appreciation is definitely better than the finals between the Spurs and the Pistons.This game is also a game broadcast live by E.SPN to the whole United States. In the same game, T.NT also sent their gold medal commentators, Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith.

……

"Tonight, I and this fat man beside me will accompany you through this battle of points." Before the game started, Smith said the opening remarks.

"Kenny, I told you yesterday about changing the opening statement. You remember, it's good. But changing it like this will damage our friendship and our original close cooperative relationship." Buck Said full of resentment.

Smith said indifferently: "Okay Charles, if we don't cooperate, wouldn't we be unemployed together? I can't bear to see you unemployed, and I know you won't see me unemployed, right?"

"Hmm! That's right, I'm a kind person." Barkley's greasy face suddenly laughed.Open a paint factory if you give some color, that's the kind of person you're talking about.

"Cooperating with you is getting boring, do you know what humility is?" Smith said: "The game is about to start, and the Lakers' starting lineup is still following the previous lineup, Atkins, Kobe, Butler, Odo Tom, Divac. The starting lineup for the Warriors is Fisher, Richardson, Dunleavy, Murphy, Foyer."

At this time, we can see the tacit understanding between Barkley and Smith. Barkley has almost no interval after Smith finished speaking. "The game started, Divac gave the ball to Kobe, the first time Divac won the jump ball this season? Smith, remember?"

Smith curled his lips and said, "I really can't remember. It shouldn't be more than five times!"

"I thought the Lakers center was soft, but I didn't expect the guy from Golden State to be even softer. If I go up, I can beat them both." Barkley brought himself into the field again.

"Are you dreaming? Sir Charles." Smith hit without hesitation.

……

The two were spraying each other on the commentary stage, but Qin Tao stood up on the coach's bench and came to the sidelines. In his memory, the Lakers' first offense after the game started, Butler cut from the baseline and completed a dunk.Qin Tao stood up at this time just to pretend to be 13!If you can pretend to be 13 or not, you are worthy of yourself and the Communist Party!
"Run, run to the baseline, cut in from the baseline." Qin Tao whispered when Butler ran past him.

Butler was taken aback for a moment, but he still did as the head coach said.Sure enough, the Warriors' Dunleavy, who was responsible for marking Butler, was distracted, and the Warriors' bottom line was wide open.Kobe, who was in control of the ball on the line, hoisted the ball to the basket without hesitation, and Butler had already rushed to the basket at this time.Without hesitation, Caron Butler jumped up, and he knocked into the air Dunleavy who wanted to come up to defend. The basket seemed to be his father-killing enemy, and he grabbed the ball with both hands and smashed it down.The rim was moaning, and the sound of the impact between the basketball and the floor seemed to penetrate the cheers of the fans.

The referee's whistle was drowned out by the sound waves at the scene. It had been a long time since there was such a fun dunk in this field, and there was only the lonely "8" dunking like a trapped animal.

After Caron Butler landed, he beat his chest and roared, as if he wanted to vent all the depression of the first half of the season.He didn't give his teammates a high-five to celebrate immediately, but rushed to the sidelines to hug Qin Tao.And said softly: "Thank you, boss."

"That's your own effort, Caron, work hard, you will be the best player tonight. Come on..." Qin Tao patted Butler's shoulder and said affectionately. Butler's eyelashes were a little wet, and he didn't know that Is the sweat dripping from my forehead into my eyes?At the urging of the referee, Butler stepped to the free throw line.Seeing Butler's appearance, Qin Tao smiled, "Haha!This kid is going to be cultivated into a direct descendant.It seems that I am still quite sensational!Um!That's right, my ability to motivate players is 30! '

"Oh, God! How much force did Caron use just now? If the basketball hadn't passed through the Nets to unload the force, would a hole be smashed out of the floor?" Smith said exaggeratedly.

"If it says 'made inchina' on the floor, I think it's inevitable that there will be a hole, but Caron seems to have said something to that little Chinese guy just now. Are you provocative?" Barkley said, fearing that the world would not be chaotic.

"Is it provocative that you can't even see?" Smith said: "It seems that your IQ is getting lower and lower. You didn't see that scene? Cuaron seems to be conquered by that kid."

Standing on the free throw line, Butler didn't make the free throw because of some emotional fluctuations.At this time, Qin Tao's shout came from the sidelines, "Caron, concentrate, don't let you, who is out of your body, appear in my sight." Butler looked for his reputation and saw Qin Tao make a punch Actions and an appreciative look.

'The boss trusts me so much, I will repay him with actions. 'Butler secretly made a decision in his heart.Butler, who was born in a slum and went to prison as a teenager, seems withdrawn, but in fact, all he needs is someone who can trust him.

In an ordinary regular season, Qin Tao has unknowingly won the loyalty of Caron.If the Lakers don't take the initiative to trade him, maybe Butler will stay with the Lakers all his life and contribute all his strength to the rise of the Zijin Army.But the reason why Butler was so loyal was only a word of appreciation from Qin Tao.

Never underestimate the importance of a word of appreciation...
