Chapter 31: Lakers Loyalty (Recommended Votes)

Stanley went to the sidelines to shout as he said, while Qiao Hai continued to act as a spectator.

At this time, Qiao Hai was already lamenting his good luck.

Looking at the Lakers' first two head coaches, Del Harris lost the most, but after each losing streak, the schedule always didn't give him a chance, and the next opponent was always a strong team.

Cortlambis, who only led the team to play two games, the opponents in the two games were Spurs and the SuperSonics, both of which were strong teams, if Qiao Hai was allowed to lead the team to play these two teams, of course he was confident to win, but he would never dare to directly pull out the triangle offensive tactics.

Therefore, Qiao Hai still has a lucky component.

The strength of the Nuggets is not bad, but the team atmosphere and tactical play are really sparse, and head coach Mike De Anthony is also a rookie coach.

Due to Qiao Hai's adjustment in the opening court, Kobe Bryant played a cool game and was singles throughout the game, as was Shaquille O'Neal.

Their singles are not even the kind of hard, easy to encounter the opponent's double singles, relying on the triangle tactics, O'Neal and Kobe Bryant have won countless one-on-one singles opportunities, these one-on-one singles opportunities, on Kobe Bryant is not obvious, but on O'Neal, it is very obvious.

Generally speaking, when O'Neill gets the ball on the inside, he will encounter the opponent's double or even three-person bag, and in this game, O'Neal actually got a large number of one-on-one singles opportunities, facing the weak Rivra Frentz, O'Neal's singles opportunity for every ball is crushed.

"It's so easy, Shaq is the big Mac on the inside, and Rivra Frenz can't stop him at all! Another slap in the face! Just over halfway through the first quarter! The Lakers are already taking a double-digit lead! McBrin sighed.

Marv Albert glanced at the Nuggets' coaching box: "Who is the head coach of the Nuggets?" Is he gone? Why hasn't it been adjusted? ”

McBrin shook his head again and again: "I can't adjust, the Nuggets' offense is too chaotic and disorganized, and in comparison, the Lakers are a real team." ”

"The Lakers played methodically, almost every shot was given to Kobe Bryant or Shaq, and their one-on-one singles were something the Nuggets couldn't defend, so the situation was irreversible......"

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led the Nuggets by 14 points at 33:19.

Shaquille O'Neal alone scored 13 points, and he blew up the Nuggets' interior, and Rivra Frenz shivered under O'Neal's rage.

In the second quarter, with a huge advantage in the score, Qiao Hai began to deploy troops, Ruben Patterson replaced Rick Fox, Derek Harper replaced Derek Fisher, and the axis of the triangle tactics on the court suddenly became the old point guard Derrick Harper, and a new triangle began to form.

So, the Lakers continued to practice their tactics.

After halftime, the lead was extended to 22 points, and the Lakers had already won the game.

After taking the lead by a large score, Qiao Hai also looked very relaxed, talking and laughing with Stamreford, while Baron Scott, who had always been optimistic about Qiao Hai, had no opinion on this game that lost suspense early.

"The Nuggets are too weak, China Joe is lucky, this one won, I just don't know how many games he can last......"

Byron Scott looked at Nick Van Exel's stats again, shot 1 of 9 in the half, scored 7 points, and Byron Scott smiled: "Nick is really, even if he leaves the Lakers, he is still contributing to the Lakers, and he has to take a big credit for winning this game." ”

Joe Hai also spoke to Stamlefour about Van Exel.

"Nick Van Exel, it's good that Mr. Jerry West sent him away, otherwise we would have been cheated in this game." After saying that, he smiled and looked at Stan Lefour again. "Well, Stan, I'll just say it's a good opportunity to practice the triangle offense."

Stan Lefu also smiled, a little helpless, he didn't expect the Nuggets to be so vulnerable.

"In the second half, we continued to practice tactics, but let Kobe Bryant and Shaq stagger the playing time and try the effect of a single core."

Stan Lefour nodded.

In the second half, as Joe Hai said, Kobe Bryant and O'Neal staggered their playing time, and the Lakers continued to experiment with tactics.

But after switching to a single core, the Lakers did not play so smoothly, and the Nuggets began to consciously wrap the Lakers' ball-handling players.

So, the Lakers played a tough second half.

Fortunately, the lead in the first half was huge enough, and Qiao Hai was not afraid of being overturned by the Nuggets.

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Nuggets 117-102, 15 points away, ending the losing streak.

Shaquille O'Neal scored 33 points and 14 rebounds, Kobe Bryant also had 24 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, and among the role players, Rick Fox, Derrick Harper and Robert Horry were also activated by Joe, Rick Fox had 5 assists in the game, and Derrick Harper came off the bench and also delivered 6 assists.

Robert Horry made 6 three-pointers and hit 4 of them, and he was also the hero of the Lakers' victory.

It was Eddie Jones, who was unexpectedly pressed on the bench by Qiao Hai in this game and barely played.

Qiao Hai also thought very clearly, Eddie Jones was about to be traded anyway, so he didn't let Eddie Jones play, leaving enough time for the team to practice tactics.

After the game, Qiao Hai took a look at the proficiency of the team's triangle offensive tactics, and after a real combat drill, the team's proficiency in triangle offensive tactics increased by 10% to 45%, and the proficiency increased by 10% in one game, which strengthened Qiao Hai's determination to practice triangle offensive tactics with actual combat.

Do a little math, within a week, the 98% proficiency triangle offensive tactical board can increase the team's tactical proficiency by 40%, plus the game within a week, Qiao Hai can directly make the Lakers' triangle offensive tactical proficiency to 100% within a week.

The 100% proficient triangle offensive tactics are clearly already in shape, and as long as the triangle offensive tactics are formed, the Lakers can get back on track.

So, the problem is solved.

However, no one seems to notice that the Lakers are recovering.

The post-game comments of Mav Albert and McBrin only said: "This game is a big game, in the end, the Nuggets still haven't been able to rot the Lakers, the whole game, the Lakers are constantly single, if it wasn't for the huge lead they established in the first half, in the second half, their poor performance would have buried this victory." ”

"I have to say that Nick Van Exel is really a loyal Laker, even if he is traded, he is still contributing to the Lakers, he shot 3 of 16 in the whole game, scored 16 points, and the efficiency is extremely poor, if it weren't for Nick Van Exel's poor performance from beginning to end, maybe the Nuggets would have a chance to turn the tables in this game."

Still no one is optimistic about the Lakers, and almost everyone believes that the Lakers have just won a worse Nuggets.

According to Byron Scott's idea, Qiao Hai just took shit luck, and met the current penultimate Nuggets in the West in his first game, otherwise, Qiao Hai would have embarked on the same path of failure as Cortlampis, and was dismissed after several painful losses.

In the dressing room, the atmosphere was re-energized by a victory.

This is what Qiao Hai wants to see, a successful team, in addition to having outstanding strength, but also a harmonious locker room atmosphere, the previous losing streak once made the Lakers' locker room silent, and now, the victory is coming, everything is naturally different.

Qiao Hai clapped his hands, he was going to pour cold water on this group of happy players.

"Alright, folks." Seeing everyone looking at him, Qiao Hai began to shake his head: "Don't be happy too soon, guys, you just won a game that you should win, and didn't you win the championship, is it worth being so happy?" ”

Qiao Hai saw that several players were not convinced, and he took out a specially prepared record ranking list.

"Look, here's the latest regular season standings, look at where we stand, 11th in the West, yes, this win moved us up a spot past the Dallas Mavericks, but so what? We're still in the lotto zone, we're at the bottom of the league, we're still at the bottom of the league! ”

Shaquille O'Neal, who had been grinning, stopped smiling, and Kobe Bryant certainly didn't smile.

Qiao Hai continued: "It's just an ordinary victory, we can't be complacent, we have to keep trying, look here, Utah Jazz!" First in the West! This is where we should be! ”

Shaquille O'Neal had a cold face and echoed Qiao Hai's words for the first time: "That's right, our goal is to win the championship, so this victory is just the beginning, we must continue to work hard!" ”
