At the post-match press conference, Qiao Hai was in a happy mood.

A reporter asked about the team's new goal after two consecutive wins, Qiao Hai said: "We don't have a new goal, all along, we have only one goal. ”

"What?"

Another reporter was puzzled.

Qiao Hai smiled: "Why should I tell you?" ”

These words directly made the old reporter, who looked like he was forty or fifty years old, blush, and then he didn't dare to squeak.

Qiao Hai's rhetorical question was seen by Sports Illustrated reporter Sam Amick, in Sam Amik's view, in response to reporters' questions, Qiao Hai showed his maturity, the Lakers' goal is obviously to win the championship, no need to ask.

But if Qiao Hai said the 4-8 Lakers target championship in front of a group of reporters, maybe the headline of the next day would become: 4-8 Lakers target championship? Let's make the playoffs first!

So, undoubtedly, Qiao Hai's rhetorical question was wise.

After thinking about it, Sam Amik thought of a piece of news he had just gotten: "Eddie Jones didn't appear on the sidelines in this game, and there is news that he has been traded, is it true?" ”

Qiao Hai nodded in confirmation.

There is nothing to deny this, and perhaps the Lakers will officially announce the trade in an hour, so it is better to confirm it directly.

"Which team is it for?" In exchange for whom? "As soon as a reporter who didn't know the situation heard about the transaction, he immediately began to ask questions.

Qiao Hai smiled and continued to avoid answering: "You guys will know soon, because the deal has been completed." ”

In the press seat, Sam Amik nodded appreciatively, this was his first interview with Qiao Hai, Qiao Hai was too mature when dealing with reporters, not like a 23-year-old young coach at all, in the face of reporters' questions, Qiao Hai did not leak.

After the interview, Qiao Hai then received a call from Mitch Kupchak, Scott Pippen has arrived in Los Angeles, and the team will hold a press conference early tomorrow morning, Mitch Kupchak asked Joe if he wanted to join him.

Qiao Hai Yile, this is a good thing, of course you have to participate.

Mitch Kupchak invited Johay to the press conference for Scott Pippen, which means that the team has accepted Joe, otherwise it would not have made an appearance for him as an acting head coach at the press conference, which is of course a good thing.

That night, Qiao Hai organized the team to board the plane and fly back to Los Angeles.

……

After a night of rest in Los Angeles, Qiao Hai also gave his players a half-day off, so early in the morning, there were actually no players in the Lakers' training hall.

However, Qiao Hai still saw Kobe Bryant in the training hall.

Bryant was practicing, and Qiao Hai didn't bother him, turning around and going to Mitch Kupchak's office.

"Here we go, Joe, for today's press conference of two new signings, one Scott Pippen and one Bruce Bowen, you get ready to make a statement at the press conference and welcome the two new signings."

Qiao Hai nodded: "Okay, no problem." ”

Bruce Bowen also arrived, plus Scott Pippen, Qiao Hai will have enough players available on the wing in the next game, Qiao Hai flipped over the opponent of the Lakers in the next game, their opponent is the Phoenix Suns with Jason Kidd, the opponent is strong, it is the first powerful opponent Qiao Hai has encountered, this game is Qiao Hai's debut on the Lakers' home court, so the next game is extremely important and must be won.

Before the press conference, Joe met with Scott Pippen and Bruce Bowen.

Young Bowen was very shy, and he didn't look at all like the executioner who had scrapped a lot of players in later generations.

Scott Pippen is easy-going with arrogance, Scott Pippen has won 6 championships with Michael Jordan in the past ten years, although the personal data is not eye-catching, but Scott Pippen has become an absolute star with his dominance in the league in the past ten years.

In the face of Qiao Hai, a rookie coach, Scott Pippen loves to ignore it.

Qiao Hai doesn't care, he will find a suitable time to let Scott Pippen know that rookie coaches also have majesty.

At the beginning of the press conference, the Lakers officially announced two trades, Tony Barty in exchange for the nobody Bruce Bowen, Eddie Jones plus Elden Campbell in exchange for the Bulls dynasty core Scott Pippen, the first trade was a small fight, the media reporters were not interested, only a few Lakers reporters were muttering: It's a big loss, an interior rotation for a water cooler player, what does Jerry West think?

The second deal is considered to be the level of shaking the alliance.

Eddie Jones is at least an ordinary All-Star, and Scott Pippen, although he is in his twilight years, is also a superstar, and the All-Star plus role player for superstar, this deal is obviously a big deal.

Finally, less than a month after the start of the competition, the big deal came.

While asking questions, several big reporters began to think about how to evaluate this deal, Rockets Lakers, who loses and who earns? Everyone has a different point of view.

Soon it was Qiao Hai's turn, Qiao Hai thought about it and took the microphone directly.

"I'm glad that the team made two trades according to my idea, Scott and Bruce are both the teams we need, Scott is the superstar of this league, maybe what many people don't know is that the Lakers are playing a triangle offense, and Scott has been playing a triangle offense in Chicago, and he will fit into us perfectly."

"And Bruce, I know his style better than a lot of people, he's very good defensively and he's good three-pointers, so I'm going to give him a reasonable position and let him fit into us."

After Qiao Hai finished speaking, a group of reporters asked.

Sam Amik, Kevinding, Brad Turner, Mark Medina, a bunch of journalists, each with a different expression.

Mark Medina is in favor of Joe, Bradturner is against Joe, and Kevending and Sam Amic are neutrals, but after a few press conferences, they are all a little biased towards Joe.

Makmedina was intrigued by what was going on behind the two deals, and raised his hand to ask, "Coach Qiaohai, are these two deals going according to your ideas?" ”

Qiao Hai nodded: "Yes, it was I who suggested to Mr. Jerry West and Mr. Mitch Kupchak that the trade came to Scott and Bruce." ”

Bradturner didn't look down on the young Joe, and he also raised his hand to ask: "Bruce Bowen is a Celtics' water cooler player, and Scott Pippen is 32 years old, and Eddie Jones is in his prime, do you really think these two deals are not a loss?" ”

Qiao Hai continued to nod: "Of course, Bruce is the player I need, and Scott is the player I need, as long as it is the player I need, of course I won't lose." ”

Hearing Qiao Hai's answer, Brad Turner already knew how to write the report after the press conference.

Sam Amick was more interested in the Lakers' tactics, and he also raised his hand to ask a question about the Lakers' triangle tactics.

Qiao Hai also confirmed: "Yes, the Lakers' tactic is a triangle offense, and we have been practicing for almost two weeks. ”

……

Although it was only a press conference for new signings, a group of reporters in North America got a lot of news, and the North American media industry exploded instantly.
