Chapter 186: From Soft to Hard (I)

Back in Vancouver, the Grizzlies have one more day of training.

Qiao Hai personally supervised on the sidelines.

In the team's training match, as soon as he saw Rahim, who was still lying on his stomach when he was playing, Qiao Hai was angry, but Qiao Hai thought about it instead.

With the urine nature of this system, the changes for players are never changed all at once, such as Maddy, it takes four months to rise from a total rating of 79 points to a peak rating of 96 points, and for example, it takes a month for Scott Pippen to go from old to peak.

Therefore, Qiao Hai felt that it might be that this so-called iron-blooded trait needed time to change.

Moreover, Qiao Hai had a sixth sense, and he felt that this so-called iron-blooded trait might need to be pushed by him before it could be applied to Rahim.

So, on the court at the Grizzlies training gym, Raheem took a sideways step in the face of Chauncey Billups' strong burst.

Qiao Hai's roar immediately sounded on the sidelines: "Sharif! What are you hiding! Don't lose your position on the defensive end! ”

It looked like Qiao Hai was just a normal outburst and didn't target Rahim.

But soon, Qiao Hai kept roaring: "Sharif! Pounce on it! Pounce on it! ”

"What are you doing? Sharif, just hit hard! Don't be cowardly! ”

"Sharif, I see that you are the starter and don't want to play, go up! Slap him! ”

The general face of Rahim who was facing Rahim was sweating, and he probably even felt that Rahim was reprimanded by Qiao Hai because he was against him.

Rahim looked confused, he didn't know what happened to Qiao Hai and why he kept targeting him.

Byron Scott also felt strange, Qiao Hai didn't explain anything, and quickly ended the team training game.

Raheem was yelled at to doubt his life, but there were still changes, the movements in the training match were getting bigger and bigger, and he was even yelled at by Qiao Hai and took the initiative to seek confrontation, this is the change that Qiao Hai wants to see first.

……

On Feb. 23, the Grizzlies face the Clippers at home.

The Grizzlies' fast-paced Princeton offense quickly ended the game, and the Clippers had little defense, which made the Grizzlies play a good game, and the Grizzlies led by 22 points in the third quarter, and the bench dared to fight in the final quarter, and the Grizzlies won the game by 25 points.

On the 24th, the Grizzlies played consecutive games at home against the Nuggets.

The Nuggets are a bit of a lottery champion this season, with a current record of 3 wins and losses, but because they are in the mighty West, they can only rank ninth in the West, outside the playoffs, and the opponent they can catch up with is the Jazz, but obviously, as long as the old Jazz occupy a slight advantage, they will not give the Nuggets too many opportunities.

Of course, the Nuggets also see a glimmer of the playoffs, and every game, they are fighting.

The same goes for playing the Grizzlies, the Grizzlies are dark horses, and the Nuggets think they have a chance to fight for the next game, so the Nuggets play hard.

Antonio McDyce confronted Raheem and hit him with all sorts of strong hits.

After playing half the game, McDyce exploded, scoring 7 points and 7 rebounds alone, and the Nuggets also led by points at halftime.

The home team is behind the points, Qiao Hai is very angry, what makes him even more angry is that the player opposite Antonio McDies is Rahim, the iron-blooded Rahim Johai has not seen it at all, if Rahim can be a little more iron-blooded, McDyce will not do whatever he wants in the half game.

So, at halftime, in the home team's locker room, Qiao Hai was angry.

"Sharif, have you forgotten yesterday's training match? Be tough! Be tough! How many more times do you need to say ......? ”

After the fire, Qiao Hai designated the lineup for the second half, and Rahim was still in the list.

Raheem is now a little at a loss, at the beginning of the second half of the game, Antonio McDyce's strong burst, Rahim's defense is still suspected of dodging, in the past, Qiao Hai will arrange other players to help Rahim make up for the defense, but this time, Rahim dodged once, Qiao Hai roared directly on the sidelines: "Paste it!" Stick it up! ”

Rahim was startled by the roar, and then immediately stepped forward.

In the second half, Qiao Hai roared on the sidelines many times, and in the words of the sideline commentator Cherry Miller, Qiao Hai suddenly showed his passion, and the audience roared and shouted all kinds of times.

Rahim also made some changes under Qiao Hai's toughness and began to take the initiative to top people.

Gradually, Antonio McDyce's singles were not so easy, at this time, Johi paired Raheem with Sean Marion's help defense, and the Grizzlies' defense was suddenly solid, and the third quarter completed the overtake.

A 9-0 win in the fourth quarter.

At the end of the game, the Grizzlies won 02-9.

After losing to the Kings, the Grizzlies went on a three-game winning streak.

Then, on February 26, the Grizzlies played the Nuggets again.

In the first half of the game, Raheem returned to his original state, facing the opponent's strong play on the defensive end, he could dodge, and the offensive end was also a variety of dodge confrontations.

Qiao Hai became popular again, and after the first quarter, he directly removed Rahim and replaced it with rough.

Roughly played for the first time when the score was scorching, and the effect of the game was average, and he couldn't make two shots in a row, but fortunately, the Grizzlies are not the kind of team that doesn't give the ball after the player hits the iron continuously, because of the characteristics of Princeton's offense, as long as the player can run out of the open space, he can get the ball.

So, at the end of the second quarter, he roughly received a pass from Chauncey Billups and hit a three-pointer in the bottom corner.

In the second half, Qiao Hai used Sean Marion as a cameo in the fourth position.

Except for the first quarter, Raheem played zero in the second three quarters.

The Grizzlies won the Nuggets again, this time it was still difficult to win, and the score was still scorching until the last minute of the game, until Maddie scored three goals in a row, a dry pull after a break, a chase for three points and a direct layup after an empty cut, three balls scored 7 points in a row, and the Grizzlies won 05:00, four in a row!

Rahim was in a bad mood after the match, he was a devout Muslim and his parents had always taught him: "Remember how all your grades came about and be humble." ”

So, this also influenced Raheem's style of play.

Now, Johi suddenly toughens Raheem, which makes him uncomfortable.

During the training match, Qiao Hai yelled at him, and Rahim was still a little confused, thinking that Qiao Hai was taking his anger on him.

But after playing the Nuggets' two games, Raheem kind of understood.

Because of his lack of effort on the defensive end, and because he always dare not face it head-on, the Grizzlies must pay more manpower on the defensive end to make up for this, so Raheem feels that Joe Hai wants to help him change.

But Raheem also has his problems, his physical fitness is not good, he played the No. 3 position in college, but in the NBA, because of the lack of speed, he can only move to the No. 4 position, so the disadvantage in the confrontation is too great, it's not that he doesn't want to be hard, it's that he can't be hard, so he's very distressed now.

After the game, the Grizzlies won four in a row, and Byron Scott couldn't figure out why Joe Hay was so strict with Raheem.

So, he asked after the game.

Qiao Hai directly explained: "I think Sherif should be tough, after the February game, our offense has almost run in, and then it's time to transform the defense, and letting Sherif correct the attitude of the defensive end is the first step." ”

Qiao Hai's explanation was seamless, but Byron Scott still raised objections: "Joe, I think there is a bit of a problem with the way you transform Sherif and you should talk to Sherif first." ”

Qiao Hai nodded: "I will." ”

The next morning, on the Grizzly Bears' training day, Qiao Hai called Rahim directly and prepared to talk to Rahim.
