Chapter Twenty-Nine: 108 People Understand the Ball
There are 13 players standing on the sidelines of the Lakers' training gym, one less.
Joe Hai knows that the one who is missing is Tony Barty, the trade between the Lakers and the Celtics has been completed, and Tony Barty has left.
Qiao Hai looked at Eddie Jones and Elden Campbell again, if nothing else, these two will also leave tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, the team obviously needs reinforcements, if Tony Barty and Elden Campbell are gone, the inside line needs a new signing.
Shaking his head and banishing other thoughts from his mind, Qiao Hai had already thought of a set of opening statements.
Cleared his throat: "Although everyone knows me, I still want to introduce myself to you, my name is Qiao Hai, Chinese, I only had professional experience as an assistant coach with the Lakers before, that is to say, this is my first time coaching a professional team." ”
There was a chuckle from the sidelines, and Stan Leford glanced at Qiao Hai with some concern, he felt that Qiao Hai's words were counterproductive, but made the Lakers players look down on him.
But Qiao Hai suddenly changed his words: "But, I still hope that you will be smarter, be obedient, train hard, and play with all your might, these three points, if any of you can't do it, I will let him know the consequences." ”
"Alright, start training!" Qiao Hai clapped his hands and dismissed all the players.
Byron Scott stood aside and shook his head secretly: "This guy is really too young." ”
Obviously, everyone thinks that Qiao Hai's opening remarks are very problematic, and who will take the threat of a rookie to heart?
Maybe everyone has already taken Qiao Hai as a joke.
Qiao Hai doesn't think so, because his threat is very effective, he has already figured out how to deal with disobedient players, it's very simple, the main players are directly excluded from the lineup, even Shaquille O'Neal, it's a big deal that he uses the Michael Jordan experience card to ensure victory in the first few games.
The way to deal with non-main players is even simpler, direct trade or layoff, with the help of Mitch Kupchak, it is still easy to adjust a few non-main players.
Therefore, Qiao Hai is not afraid of someone ignoring his threat at all.
The training began, Stamreford and Byron Scott organized the training of outside players and inside players respectively, Qiao Hai stood on the sidelines and supervised the training of the players with a straight face, anyone who dared to be lazy, Qiao Hai would immediately roar.
Fortunately, no one dared to provoke Qiao Hai head-on, so the training went smoothly.
Halfway through the training, Qiao Hai saw Kobe Bryant, he thought about it, returned to the office and found the training plan he had made for Kobe Bryant at the beginning, and compared the training plan automatically generated by the system, Qiao Hai synthesized it.
Qiao Hai's Kobe Bryant-exclusive training plan focuses on outside projection.
The training plan generated by the system is aimed at Kobe's overall view and the strengthening of his personal singles ability, and after thinking about it, Qiao Hai still feels that outside projection is very important, so he synthesized it and formulated a new training plan.
After finishing it, back to the training hall, Qiao Hai called Kobe.
Kobe Bryant is happy about Joe Hai's appointment, a Drew League final has conquered Kobe Bryant, and he takes it for granted that he will get more opportunities to play under Qiao Hai.
Of course, this is indeed the case, Qiao Hai is indeed ready to reuse Kobe.
"Kobe, this is a new training plan, the training plan you just got from Byron should be put on first, practice according to this."
Kobe Bryant took the new training plan from Qiao Hai's hand and looked at it for a while: "Is this any different?" Instructor. ”
Qiao Hai nodded: "Of course, with the new training plan, you have to practice three-point and mid-range shooting, especially three-pointers." ”
"Okay, Coach."
Bryant didn't ask why, got the training plan, turned around and started defending again.
Qiao Hai still appreciates Kobe's training attitude, as for Shaquille O'Neal on the other side, he is a little lazy, but fortunately, Shaq is still practicing according to Qiao Hai's training plan, and Qiao Hai didn't say anything.
The training was orderly, and the triangle tactics training in the afternoon was also very smooth, Qiao Hai made some adjustments to the triangle tactics, and began to let Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal play some "two-person games", which is a necessary part of the triangle tactics.
The next game was not so difficult, the Lakers' opponent was the Nuggets who started the game with 1 win and 8 losses, so Qiao Hai decided to directly move the triangle tactics to the court in the next game.
I have to say that Qiao Hai is very bold, but he has a system, and the system supports him to be bold without any worries.
……
In the afternoon, although there was no press conference, the Lakers still published an article in the local media in Los Angeles, officially announcing that Cortlambis resigned and Qiao Hai will become the new acting head coach of the Lakers.
As soon as this news came out, many people were immediately surprised.
Who is Joe?
This is something that many people can't figure out, no way, although the Drew League championship has made Qiao Hai a wave of fame, but there are still many people who don't know him.
Now, an unknown coach has become the acting head coach of the Purple and Gold Army, and the world is crazy.
The Los Angeles Times has Qiao Hai's information, and they know much more about Qiao Hai than other media, so after the Lakers' official announcement, they directly published two articles in their sports section, and the two articles are completely different.
The article was signed by Brad Turner, a leading reporter for the sports section of the Los Angeles Times, and the headline of his article was: At the age of 23, the youngest head coach in the NBA? Maybe it's also the head coach who gets out of class the fastest!
Obviously, judging by this title, Bradturner is not optimistic about Qiao Hai's coaching at all.
"I don't know why Jerry West has appointed rookie coaches to act as head coach in a row, and Cortambis has proven to be a terrible failure, replacing the 23-year-old Chinese Joe? I think it will be even more of a failure. ”
"I have to say, Jerry West is old, maybe the Lakers need a new helmsman." Bradturner also criticized Jerry West, the godfather of the Lakers, and it is clear that the current poor situation of the Lakers has made many Lakers fans feel anxious.
And another article, signed by Kevending, is a rising star in the sports section of the Los Angeles Times.
The title of his post was very different from that of Bradtner.
"At the age of 23, the Lakers have a dawn?"
In Kevending's article, Qiao Hai is considered to be the best choice to take over the Lakers, and Kevending also swears: "China's Joe's performance in the Drew League has proven that he is an excellent coach, he defeated Shaquille O'Neal with a few amateur players, in the NBA, Qiao Hai will definitely be able to realize his own value, and the Lakers will get back on track in his hands......"
Different arguments are also different views.
The Los Angeles Times also did a survey, and they gave two options, one to support Bradtner's argument and the other to choose to support Kevinding's argument.
The next day, the results came in, Brad Turner 7,528 votes, while Kevender ...... He had only 108 votes.
Qiao Hai also saw the results of this survey, and the first time he saw the results of this survey, Qiao Hai smiled: "There are only 108 people in Los Angeles who know how to play. ”
Qiao Hai also received a call from Kevending.
Kevender had an interview with Qiao Hai before, but it never materialized, and now Qiao Hai has become the acting head coach of the Lakers, which is a topic of conversation, and Kevending can't wait to interview Qiao Hai.
But Qiao Hai refused, the reason is very simple, he has just taken over the team and is very busy.
However, Qiao Hai also promised that he would give Kevending a time within a month and let Kevending arrange an exclusive interview.
