With 17 points trailing at halftime, Del Harris was already going crazy.

He wanted to keep his position, so he asked everyone in the dugout for help.

"Bill, what do you say now?"

Bill Polka is still Del Harris's loyal dogleg, and at this moment, he is still giving advice to Del Harris.

"Why don't you give up the defense and fight the Mavericks with offense."

"Offense to offense? Will it work? Del Harris panicked, and he looked at Cortlambis. What do you think, Kurt? ”

Cortlambis pondered for a moment: "I don't think it's useless to solve the Mavericks' offense, no matter how good the offense is." ”

As soon as he said this, Del Harris immediately felt a little desperate, and at this time, he saw Qiao Hai next to Cortlambis: "Joe, tell me what you can do?" ”

Qiao Hai glanced at Del Harris and shook his head slowly.

"I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do, I'm 17 points behind at halftime, I can't solve the Mavericks' offense, my own offense is not so efficient, this game is over."

Qiao Hai's words were like a dagger, stabbing hard into Del Harris's heart.

It's not that he doesn't help, it's really nothing to do, a month of preseason training, the Lakers patronized the practice of blocking and dismantling tactics, but at the beginning of the season, the blocking and dismantling tactics had zero effect, and there was no other tactical foundation, in this case, in the face of the Mavericks' bombardment, the only thing Del Harris could do was to pray that the Mavericks' hand was not so good in the second half.

But the sky doesn't follow people's wishes, and the Mavericks' hand in the second half is still terrifying, almost crushing the Lakers to death.

The game was 88:113, the Lakers lost by 25 points at home, and the Great Western Forum suddenly booed, as a giant team in the NBA, the Lakers rarely suffered such humiliation, losing 25 points at home, which is simply a shame.

"Alright, Del Harris is out of class." In the press booth, Kevending turned his head and discussed with his peers next to him, indeed, after this loss, the Lakers' record came to 2-6, such a record, Del Harris will never stay in office.

"Let's go, go to the press conference, there's big news."

At the press conference, big news really appeared.

Del Harris left the court as soon as the game was over, went to the scene of the press conference, and personally announced that he would resign as the head coach of the Lakers.

Del Harris voluntarily resigned, which was clearly a wise move.

Jerry West was satisfied, he also saved face for Del Harris, expressed regret over Del Harris's resignation, wished Del Harris all the best for the future, and announced that the team's assistant coach Cortambis will temporarily take over the team and lead the team to the next few games.

Hearing the news, Qiao Hai was slightly disappointed, and it was not him who took over the team in the end, but Cortlambis, but he still congratulated Cortlambis, because he had a good relationship with Cortambis, far from being comparable to Del Harris.

Cortlambis, however, was very modest and said directly: "It was the decision of the management, but in fact, Joe, you are more suitable for this position than I am." ”

Finally, Cortambis added, "So, Joe, please help me a lot." ”

Qiao Hai naturally nodded, Kotlambis said so, and Qiao Hai could only help.

"Then from tomorrow onwards, let's start practicing triangle tactics, Joe, it's up to you."

Qiao Hai nodded: "No problem, in addition to the triangle tactics, the team also needs to strengthen the defense." ”

Cortlambis agreed, and continued to ask Qiao Hai's opinion: "What kind of defensive tactics do you think we should use?" ”

Qiao Hai shook his head: "Defensive tactics can't help us, the Lakers are a superstar team, we can't let superstars defend, so I think we have to promote some new people, or make trades." ”

"Deal?"

"Yes, Kurt, I suggest you go talk to Mr. Jerry West, and send Eddie away first, his and Kobe's positions overlap, one plus one is already less than two."

Cortlambis nodded, and he decided to take Qiao Hai's suggestion.

In fact, it can be seen from this series of conversations that Cortlambis has completely handed over what the head coach has to do to Qiao Hai, he is also a nominal head coach, and the real head coach is actually Qiao Hai behind him.

Qiao Hai was a little disappointed at first, and at the same time he was reluctant to help Cortlambis.

But after thinking about it carefully, Qiao Hai suddenly felt that letting Cortlambis be the head coach and he could play his ability behind the scenes might also be a good model, and he could also prove himself.

Provided, of course, that Cotland Biss has to be obedient......

But at present, Cotlambis should have regarded Qiao Hai as a lifesaver and grabbed Qiao Hai to death.

Cortlambis also wants to keep the position of head coach, he also feels that this is an opportunity, these two months have made Cotlambises know Qiao Hai very well, and he knows very well that in terms of strength, Qiao Hai is more suitable for the position of head coach than him.

But Jerry West chose him, which is considered his luck, Cortlanbis knows how many pounds and taels he has, so he grabbed Qiao Hai to the death, as long as Qiao Heiken helps him, he still has a chance to keep this position as head coach.

Therefore, Cortlanbis was unusually obedient, and the day after the official announcement, he went to Jerry West and asked for a deal.

Qiao Hai was also called over, but it had nothing to do with the transaction.

Because Del Harris's coaching staff all left, Qiao Hai was also promoted, so the Lakers gave Qiao Hai a new contract, the years were extended, and the salary also increased.

This is a good thing for Qiao Hai, the annual salary has risen to 300,000 per year, the term has been extended to five years, and the position has been promoted to the position of chief assistant coach, which can be regarded as a promotion and salary increase.

When signing the contract, Michkupchak looked at Qiao Hai with a smile on his face, but Qiao Hai hesitated for a moment and finally made a request.

"Can I add a buyout clause?"

"Buyout clause?" Mitch Kupchak was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Why did you add a buyout clause?" ”

"No, I just think five years is too long, so I want to get some freedom."

Mitch Kupchak nodded, "Okay, I'll go ask Mr. Jerry West." ”

……

It didn't take long for Mitch Kupchek to return.

"Mr. Jerry said no problem, you can add a buyout clause, and the buyout amount is set at $100,000, what do you think?"

Qiao Hai nodded: "Yes." ”

The changed contract was taken, Qiao Hai looked at the terms of the contract, five years, 300,000 annual salary, and the contract can be bought out at any time, and the buyout amount is 100,000 US dollars, Qiao Hai was very satisfied with this contract, he nodded, and then signed his name on this contract.

"Ding! After the task is completed, please enter the system and receive the reward. ”
