Chapter 6: Champion!

After the timeout, the M.H.P. began to increase their inside breakouts.

Eddie Jones is still the scoring point that M.H.P. relies on, although Eddie Jones was badly defended by Kobe Bryant in the first five minutes, hitting only 2 goals from 6 shots.

But most of these six shots were mid-to-long-range shots, because the M.H.P's tactics were Princeton, and Princeton's tactics needed a center, but the M.H.P's center's response ability could only be said to be average, and Eddie Jones didn't get much of a good chance, 6 shots, half of which were singles, and the other half were mid-to-long-range catch-and-shoot shots, almost all of which were defensive.

Now let Eddie Jones add interior breakouts, and maybe the offense will be alive.

Lewis Edney had a good idea.

But at the end of the timeout, the Monterey team suddenly shrunk the defense, leaving Bryant to defend Eddie Jones, Tom Shiller and Spencer in the penalty area, and the formation was extremely compact.

Seeing the changes in the Monterey team, Lewis Edney was stunned, time did not allow him to make a second adjustment, he could only watch as Eddie Jones burst into the interior and was hated to the floor by the oncoming Spencer......

Then, Eddie Jones also noticed a change in the Monterey team's tactics, but he had no choice but to continue to play inside, because the floating outside had already proven to be ineffective in the first five minutes of the game.

Tactics were fully restrained, and the M.H.P. team inevitably fell into an all-round disadvantage.

Lewis Edney had no choice but to call a second timeout, undo the adjustments made to the first timeout, and surprisingly abandon the Princeton play, though he asked the team to increase the passing and speed up the rotation.

But this adjustment is more like a chronic suicide, the M.H.P team can't score, and the defense can't prevent the Monterey team's offense, the suppression of the situation has made the M.H.P team fall into infinite backwardness, and the point difference continues to expand, Lewis Edney has no other way, he is not good at defense, only good at attacking, but in the defensive counterattack of the Monterey team, his offense can't play, but often let the Monterey team play an unstoppable counterattack.

After the first quarter, Monterey led by 17 points, which is a huge point difference, and if there are no surprises, Monterey has sealed the victory of this game.

Kobe Bryant scored 15 points alone, and defended Eddie Jones shot 4 of 13, in the Monterey team's tactical system, Kobe is like a fish in water, on the contrary, Eddie Jones, the M.H.P team is chaotic, Eddie Jones' personal performance is also quite bad, not even as good as Tom Shiller in the first quarter of 4 shots 2.

After the first quarter, Mitch Kupchak squinted: "It was a wonderful game, Lewis Edney was completely suppressed, Kobe Bryant played well, and Eddie was blown up by him." ”

With a smile on his face, Cortlanbis also nodded: "Kobe Bryant scored 15 points, he also killed Eddie, maybe next season, it's time for Kobe to start......"

"I hope Del can see this clearly, Kobe Bryant is stronger and has more potential now, and it's time to correct him."

Kupchak and Kotlambis talked about Kobe, in the first quarter, Kobe's performance was indeed so strong that it exploded, the offensive end broke Eddie Jones, and the defensive end also killed Eddie Jones.

However, the current head coach of the Lakers is Del Harris, an old-school coach who prefers a down-to-earth player like Eddie Jones, if you are judged by strength and fame, Kobe Bryant should have been the starter last season, just because of Del Harris, Eddie Jones still firmly occupies the position of the starting point guard in the Lakers team.

In terms of strength alone, Kobe Bryant last season was already on par with Eddie Jones.

By the start of this season, Kobe Bryant was clearly stronger than Eddie Jones.

The two talked for a while about the starting battle between Kobe Bryant and Eddie Jones, and on the court, the second quarter began again.

In the second quarter of the game, Qiao Hai was not ready to delay any longer, he wanted to end the game as soon as possible.

From the beginning, it has been Lewis Edney who has been making moves, opening strong attacks, and then increasing interior attacks.

Qiao Hai has always faced Lewis Edney's adjustment with a passive attitude, a fast attack counterattack, and a shrinking defense, all in response to Lewis Edney's adjustment, although it is to establish a 17-point lead, but you must know that Qiao Hai has not really made a move.

In the second quarter, Qiao Hai decided to make a wave of adjustments and ended the game directly!

"Speed up! Hit the familiar Kombat fast attack! ”

A very simple adjustment, Qiao Hai replaced Matt Richards, and the lineup on the court suddenly became Kobe Bryant, Tom Schiller, and the Monterey team instantly abandoned their fast-break counterattack tactics in the first quarter and returned to their familiar run-and-gun tactics.

In this quarter, Qiao Hai was going to play pure offense, and he decided to start a wave of attacks in the second quarter to see if he could solve the game directly.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the M.H.P team attacked first, Eddie Jones opened the single, Kobe Bryant's defense was still very aggressive, in fact, Qiao Hai knew very well that the next season would be a season for Kobe to prove his single defense, relying on single defense and all-round improved offensive technology, Kobe Bryant finally grabbed the position of starting point guard, but it was only after Del Harris got the starting position.

Eddie Jones still couldn't break through Kobe's defense, the rebound was taken by Tom Shiller, and the fast break was on the verge of attacking!

Tom Shiller made a long pass, Kobe Bryant received the ball, and the fast break was dunked, and the point difference further expanded.

The M.H.P. team had no choice but to re-serve in the backcourt, and the honest Princeton tactics in the front court responded to the attack, but the Monterey team picked up the speed and quickly rotated the defense, and the M.H.P. team suddenly felt the huge pressure exerted by the Monterey team.

The speedy defense kept the M.H.P team scrambling, and the offense was once again out of whack.

The Monterey team played a fast break again, and the difference instantly expanded to more than 20 points.

It's not over yet, Monterey is just starting to ramp up the intensity and it's just getting started.

The powerless M.H.P team fell infinitely behind, and soon, halfway through the second quarter, the difference came to 36 points, and the game ended early.

……

The gap between the two teams is too big, which is what Mitch Kupchak did not expect, in the first quarter of the game, he felt the pressure from the Monterey team, and the tactics of fast attack and counterattack crushed the M.H.P team, and in the second quarter, the Monterey team suddenly changed its tactical strategy - run and bomb tactics, and the point difference continued to expand, and finally, the Monterey team, which played half a quarter of high-intensity offense and defense, suddenly slowed down the tempo, and the hearty fast attack in the first half of the second quarter ended instantly.

Mitch Kupchak was already fascinated, he was addicted, but the moment the run-and-bomb tactics ended, he was a little unsatisfied, and looked up at the score, before the half, the M.H.P team was already behind by more than 30 points, and there was no need to play this game anymore.

Soon, at halftime, the slow-moving Monterey team controlled the tempo, and at halftime, they led the M.H.P. team by 35 points.

Mitch Kupchak had already left his seat and approached Monte Mathis, a Lakers scout in the corner of the arena who was recording the game, hoping to get a footage of the game.

At the same time, Kupchak also chatted with Kotlambis about Qiao Hai: "What is the origin of this Asian? Actually completely suppressed Lewis Edney. ”

Cortlambis also shook his head: "I don't know. ”

But then, he informed Mitch Kupchak of the information he saw from the Los Angeles Times: "According to the Los Angeles Times, China Joe is a coach who is only 23 years old, Chinese, judging from a final and a semi-final, his on-the-spot command is very good, two sets of tactical systems, tactical knowledge is also very deep, open and close the offense, and dare to play ......"

……

In the second half, the Monterey team continued to work hard and finally managed to seal the victory of the game.

With more than five minutes left before the end of the game, the Monterey team maintained a lead of about 40 points, and Qiao Hai began to constantly deploy troops, sending some substitutes who had been sitting on the bench and rarely played, so that this group of substitutes could also feel the atmosphere of the Drew League final.

The Monterey fans at the scene have already begun to cheer, although the Drew League championship is very small, far less than the O'Brien Cup, but in the eyes of the Monterey community fans, this championship trophy belongs to all of them, and belongs to the Monterey community.

Compared with the NBA, Drew League basketball is more civilian, so a small Drew League championship still has a lot of weight in the hearts of this group of Monterey community fans.

With the whistle blowing at the end of the match, at 118:72, Monterey ushered in an indisputable victory in the final of the Drew League, and they lifted the championship trophy to the huge cheers of the audience!

Tom Shiller, Jack Baldwin, Kemp Sauer, Spencer, Matt Richards, everyone on the Monterey team was excited, and everyone rushed to the center of the field in an instant and began to celebrate wildly.

"Thank you, Coach!"

Tom Schiller ran over to thank Qiao Hai, not counting the finals, the MVP of this Drew League is obviously Tom Schiller, he is the absolute core of the Monterey team, no matter offense or defense, even in the finals, Tom Schiller has also played his strength.

In this game, Kobe Bryant's performance was explosive, with 45 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists, but he only played one game, so he could not threaten Tom Shiller's MVP trophy.

Kobe Bryant is also very excited, he can be said to have beaten Eddie Jones in all directions in this game, and he has already won a step in the main battle of the new season.

Kobe Bryant played very well in this game, after entering the NBA, he felt the heartiness of playing as the core for the first time, and the tactics designed by Qiao Hai were too suitable for him, and he directly brought out his characteristics and completely exploded.

Qiao Hai stood in the center of the field, different from the excitement of the players, Qiao Hai showed some calm, he first shook hands with John Emiro, the head coach of the M.H.P. team, and then stood on the sidelines, feeling the frenzy that broke out in the Great Western Forum Arena in an instant.

After this victory, Qiao Hai is looking to leave the Drew League, and he wants to go to a higher league.

The NBA is his ultimate goal, it would be better if he could go directly to the NBA, but no, the NCAA is the bottom line, and the position of assistant coach in UCLA can be considered, but he prefers to go directly to the NBA.

Qiao Hai is not in a hurry, he believes in the vision of American basketball managers, this game he beat the assistant coach from the Los Angeles Clippers Lewis Edney, Lewis Edney is not an unknown person, the 58-year-old Lewis Edney is already a veteran assistant coach in the league, as long as Lewis Edney wants, now he even has the opportunity to become the head coach of an NBA-level team.

Qiao Hai has defeated such an opponent, and he has done a good job, so all he has to do now is wait.

Kobe Bryant on the sidelines wasn't that excited, and a small Drew League championship trophy couldn't excite him yet.

He looked at Qiao Hai with a smile on his face, and he thought that it would be great if the head coach of the Lakers was Qiao Hai......
