For Rudy Tomjanovich, Joe Hai has no ill feelings.

It's just because of the trade of Gilbert Arenas that he feels that his work in the Rockets this time is not going well, and then, Yao Ming was suppressed and cultivated, which made Qiao Hai feel even more annoyed.

If Qiao Hai was the head coach of the Rockets, then Yao Ming would have played beautiful and gorgeous statistics and let Charles Barkley, the dead fat man, kiss the donkey's ass!

But there is no way, he is not the head coach of the Rockets, Rudy is, and Qiao Hai feels that Rudy is a good coach, although his training method for Yao Ming is wrong, but overall, Rudy's problem is not big.

Qiao Hai wanted to call Kevending's phone and give Kevending a big news, but in the end, he still chose to give up, he couldn't do anything like that.

……

……

Rudy Tomjanovic continued to sit in the Rockets' head coach's position, and after Qiao Hai talked to him, Tang quickly shifted his focus from the Anderson Cancer Center to the team.

After three consecutive defeats at home, the morale of the Rockets fell to the bottom, and in this case, the losing streak should follow, but Tang Shuai is an old coach and he has a lot of experience.

Rockets play Phoenix Suns away.

In this game, the Rockets trailed by 11 points at halftime, and Tang Shuai was furious in the locker room, which directly stimulated the Rockets' fighting spirit, and then in the second half, the Rockets directly turned the tables.

In the final game, he successfully defeated the Suns 95-88 and ended his losing streak.

……

On November 17, the Rockets played the Lakers away.

ESPN included the game in the national broadcast lineup, but to ESPN's disappointment, they found that Qiao Hai never traveled with the team.

Therefore, in this game, they also failed to meet Qiao Hai in Los Angeles and at the Staples Center.

In the face of Qiao Hai's new team, Lakers fans are very happy, they hope that their team can beat the Rockets and win a victory, so that the Lakers can be regarded as ending their losing streak against Qiao Hai in disguise.

But helplessly, in this game, O'Neal was injured, and the game became a singles battle between Kobe Bryant and Steve Francis, and Tang Shuai had already exploded his small universe after being pressured by Qiao Hai.

Whether it is the targeted arrangement before the game or the on-the-spot adjustment command, in all aspects, Tang Shuai has completely blown up Rick Carlisle, who led the Lakers to win the championship last season.

Originally, this game would be a battle of Da Yao's outbreak, in the history of Qiao Hai's previous life, Yao Ming scored 20 points on 9-of-9 shooting, the first big explosion of the rookie, and successfully let Charles Barkley kiss the donkey's butt.

But perhaps because of Qiao Hai's pressure, Tang Shuai's suppression of Yao Ming intensified.

In the first quarter of the game, Yao Ming failed to play, and in the second quarter, Yao Ming made 4 consecutive shots and 4 hits, but after playing more than 7 minutes, Yao Ming was replaced.

played again in the second half, but Yao Ming didn't get too many chances, made 2 shots, hit an iron, and then was replaced by Tang Shuai.

Before the end of the game, the Rockets led the Lakers by one point at 87-86, and then Ron Artest exploded and scored two three-pointers in a row.

The Rockets successfully defeated the Lakers 93-89, shattering the illusion that Lakers fans wanted to end Qiao Hai's losing streak.

The Rockets won, with a record of 4 wins and 4 losses, and the winning rate returned to 50%, Yao Ming continued to be suppressed by Tang Shuai in this game, scoring 13 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks on 5-of-6 shooting.

Obviously, with such a performance, Yao Ming has become more and more unable to be suppressed.

In this situation in front of him, although Qiao Hai was impatient, there was nothing he could do, he knew that one day, Yao Ming would break through Tang Shuai's suppression of him and completely explode.

……

……

Tang Shuai led the rocket to move forward, and Qiao Hai did not entangle Tang Shuai's suppression of Yao Ming for the time being.

In fact, Qiao Hai can't say whether Tang Shuai's suppression of Yao Ming is good or bad, perhaps, Tang Shuai's suppressive cultivation method of Yao Ming can help Yao Ming better integrate into this alliance.

Qiao Hai put the focus of his work on other aspects.

The NCAA has started, and the tournaments in each major region have not yet started, but all NCAA elite schools have completed enrollment and have arranged pre-season round-robins to warm up for the new season.

The Rockets' scouting team is also at full capacity, with new scouting reports coming in from all over the country.

Qiao Hai also found time to fly to Akron, Ohio, to watch an American high school game in Akron.

The home team for this match is St. Vincent's Akron. St. Mary's High School, the away team is Roger of Cincinnati. Beacon High School.

On the court, two teams of tall high school players ran wildly, but Qiao Hai met an acquaintance on the side of the court.

"Haha, Joe, you're also coming to see King James?"

It was Shaquille O'Neal who laughed, Qiao Hai was very surprised, but when he looked at Shaq's bandaged ankle again, all of a sudden, Qiao Hai understood everything.

O'Neill is still recuperating from injury and still hasn't returned.

The Lakers are now led by Kobe Bryant alone, and the Lakers' results are not good, after losing to the Rockets, they still have a 3-7 opening record.

During O'Neal's time with an injury, Bryant was questioned for failing to prove his ability to lead the team alone.

……

O'Neill gave Qiao Hai a big hug, and Qiao Hai couldn't care about the game, and replied with a smile: "Shaq, don't you have to play?" ”

O'Neill immediately pointed to his ankle: "The injury is not healed yet, and I don't have to play for the time being." ”

Qiao Hai took a closer look at O'Neill's ankle: "Still wrapped in bandages?" Do you want to take most of the season off? ”

"No, no, no." O'Neill quickly shook his head. "Actually, it's almost good, I just don't want to make a comeback so soon."

"Shhhhh......hh ”

"Okay, okay......" Qiao Hai reluctantly agreed, but as O'Neal's mentor, Qiao Hai still educated O'Neill from the perspective of the head coach.

"But Shaq, you can really come back, Kobe Bryant can't hold on anymore, for the sake of your teammates, you should come back."

O'Neill spread his hands: "You're right, Joe, I'll be back as soon as possible, probably next week, my injury will really heal." ”

Qiao Hai knew what O'Neill's so-called healing meant, in fact, it was the kind of healing that left no aftermath, he nodded and expressed his approval, O'Neill's healing spirit was still commendable.

……

On the field, the game began, King James slaughtered all sides, scored crazy points, and easily led the team to win the game.

On the sidelines, the basketball hall at the University of Akron was packed, and everyone was admiring LeBron James' individual performance. (Because of his senior season, LeBron James attracted attention from almost all the United States, and the audience on the sidelines grew day by day, including scouts, managers, and some James fans from all over the country, and the basketball arena at St. Vincent's St. Mary's High School could no longer meet such a large audience, so they had to move to the nearby University of Akron arena.) ）

At the end of the game, Qiao Hai was interviewed by reporters on the sidelines.

"Joe, what do you think of King James?"

Qiao Hai kept staring at LeBron James on the court, and when he heard the reporter's question, he turned his head: "Opinion?" ”

In an instant, he twisted his head back again, and then said while thinking: "He will definitely be a phenomenal player, and there is no template for him in the history of the NBA, and his historical status must not be low, because he is a very utilitarian player." ”

"The NBA doesn't have a template for him? But many people say that LeBron James is the next Michael Jordan. ”

"There are too many next Jordans, but of all the next Jordans, only Kobe Bryant plays in a way similar to Jordan, and LeBron James is a completely different player, and he is not the next Jordan."

"Then why do you say he's a utilitarian player?"

"The reason is simple, LeBron James is not going to play in the NCAA, he will choose to go straight into the NBA."

"This shows that he is very utilitarian?" The reporter quickly asked.

"Doesn't that explain that?" Qiao Hai asked rhetorically, and then began to explain: "He chose to enter the NBA directly, because he knows that now that he is in the NBA, the team with the top pick will definitely choose him, and he can get unimaginably high returns in the madness that everyone is doing to him now......"
