On the night of February 11, the rocket set off from the Utah Plateau overnight and flew to Vancouver.

Vancouver Grizzlies vs. Houston Rockets, this game will obviously be a big battle, although it seems that the strength of the Rockets is weaker than the Grizzlies, but with Qiao Hai, this game will not lack topicality.

NBC, TNT and ESPN all included the game in the national broadcast schedule.

On the other side of the ocean, CCTV will broadcast this game, not only because of the old grudge between Qiao Hai and the Grizzly Bear, but also because it is related to Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi, because this game is also a roughly Celestial Empire derby between Yao Ming and the Celestial Empire!

On the other side of the Atlantic, BBC TV and Sky Sports will also broadcast the game, and London's Sun newspaper even made a feature on the game, titled "Qiao Hai vs. Grizzlies, how will Qiao Hai win against the super ship he built himself?" ”

In fact, the headline of the Sun newspaper asks a question in the hearts of most people.

This season's Grizzlies are definitely the strongest team in the league, and even one of the latter ones can be removed, because even the Spurs, who have a better record than them, lost two games in a row to the Grizzlies in the first three months of the regular season, and even lost the second game by 23 points!

Obviously, the Grizzlies made some changes in the offseason, and the most successful change was to bring in veteran coach Hubbie Brown as the team's new coach.

This hand adjustment directly revived the Grizzlies, and Lionel Hollins' Grizzlies had average defense and poor offense.

And this season, Hubby Brown's Grizzlies have remained unchanged defensively, and their offense has jumped to the top of the league.

It seems that this Grizzlies team has reproduced the peak performance of Qiao Hai when he led the team, and the only gap may be the lack of several excellent benches.

From this point of view, this Grizzly Bear is indeed a super battleship!

……

It was already two o'clock in the morning when the rocket arrived at its destination, and the terminal of Vancouver International Airport was brightly lit.

A row of security guards surrounded both sides, one exit, sure enough!

The reception hall was crowded with reporters from all over the world, and the arrival exit was crowded with hundreds of reporters as far as the eye could see, each holding a variety of weapons such as video cameras, cameras, and voice recorders.

Qiao Hai walked out first, when he waved his right hand, the flash flashed, and everyone crowded towards Qiao Hai, if it weren't for the existence of two rows of security guards, Qiao Hai might have been surrounded by this group of reporters a long time ago.

But now, he was still able to make his way slowly towards the gate of the reception hall.

There were constantly reporters shouting at the top of their voices, asking Qiao Hai all kinds of questions, and Qiao Hai's ears were like 10,000 ducks, buzzing endlessly.

Qiao Hai didn't want to answer the question, it was already late at night, so now he wanted to go to the hotel to rest rather than be dragged by this group of reporters.

So, he rejected almost all the reporters' questions, and with the help of the on-site security guards, he slowly moved all the way to the front of the bus.

Then, Qiao Hai stepped on the bus, turned around, and waved his hand, which was regarded as saying goodbye.

In the group of reporters, Mark Stein from ESPN rolled his eyes, and next to him was Sam Amik of Sports Illustrated.

"Damn, after waiting for so long, this guy actually left without saying a word!"

Hearing Sam Amik's complaint, Mark Stein was also a little helpless, he stared at Qiao Hai closely, and watched Qiao Hai sit in the first row of the bus, he was completely dead.

"Forget it, I won't be able to interview Qiao Hai today, go back to the hotel and sleep, and go to the press conference early tomorrow morning......"

Mark Stein turned around and squeezed outside, and Sam Amik saw this, and squeezed out with him, but it didn't take long, and soon, everyone dispersed.

……

The rocket arrived at the hotel, and after staying, everyone slept beautifully, and woke up at nine o'clock in the morning the next day, and Qiao Hai's stipulated meeting time was half past ten in the morning, and in addition to the adaptation venue in the afternoon, Qiao Hai did not arrange training.

So, the Rockets had a perfect break.

Late at night, the reporters who blocked the airport were not so lucky, most of them only slept for three or four hours, and had to get out of bed before they were fully refreshed.

Mark Stein and Sam Amik were together again, and they met in the hotel lobby, took a taxi, and headed straight for the Grizzlies training gym.

Then, at the door of the Grizzlies training gym, Mark Stein and they managed to block Billy Knight, who was going to work early in the morning.

In front of the three or two reporters in front of him, Billy Knight did not refuse to be interviewed.

In fact, after new coach Hubi Brown led the Grizzlies to play better and better, Billy Knight became more and more willing to be interviewed by the media.

Billy Knight believes that Hubi Brown's results have given him hope and the hope of making a name for himself, even without Qiao Hai, the Grizzlies can win the championship!

As for Qiao Hai, he admitted that Qiao Hai's ability to build a team is very strong, and this grizzly bear was almost built by Qiao Hai by himself, even if Qiao Hai leaves, this grizzly bear still maintains strong combat effectiveness and is still the most powerful contender for the championship.

The fruits of victory and success have apparently been half taken by him......

Facing Max Stein and Sam Amik, Billy Knight smiled and said, "Joe is a great coach, but Houbi has proven that we can still be successful without Joe. ”

"Why did Qiao Hai leave the Grizzlies back then? I don't want to dig through any old accounts about this, transfers and transactions? Transfers and trades are the general manager's business, there's nothing to say about it......"

"This game? The victory in this game naturally belongs to us, the Rockets are too weak, they are obviously not our opponents. ”

Billy Knight said what Mark Stein wanted to hear the most, and it quickly made it to ESPN, and Joe didn't want to respond at all.

Instead, Stanrefour gave a phone interview to Hoop Sports and responded to Billy Knight.

"I can't respond to anything about whether the Grizzly Bear without Qiao Hai can succeed, I can only say that the Grizzly Bear without Qiao Hai is definitely not as strong as Qiao Hai's Grizzly Bear, I think even Hubi Brown should admit this, his tactical play, a lot of his tactical play is borrowed from Qiao Hai's tactics back then......"

"The reason for Joe's departure from the Grizzlies, Joe has made it very clear in an interview with Time Magazine, it is already obvious that the Grizzlies management was the first to default, and the fact that Joe did not pay any liquidated damages when he left the Grizzlies also shows this."

"As for this game, we have to admit that the Grizzlies are stronger than the Rockets, after all, the Grizzlies are a team that Joe has built for several years and has reached its peak, and the Rockets have just begun, these two teams, no matter who wins, are actually Joe's personal victory!"

The game has not yet started, the war of words has gone first, and the fiery atmosphere of this game has been completely fried......
