Chapter 25: Waiting (Recommended Vote)

Looking at the scorer overhead, Cortlambis looked a little confused.

After the third quarter, the Lakers trailed the Spurs by 17 points, and I have to say that the Spurs who won the championship in the 1998 season in the future are really strong, and Greg Popovich is worthy of being the future Zhuge Vic.

The last time the two teams met, Del Harris used the same lineup to defend the Spurs and win the game.

When they met again, Cortlambis repeated his old tricks, but he hit the wall directly, and his head was bleeding, not only failed to prevent the Spurs, but was also stabbed by the Spurs' attack, and after three quarters, the Lakers were gone.

Looking at the already overwhelmed Cortambis, Qiao Hai was also helpless, this game was a battle for Cortlambis to prove himself, because after the game started, he vetoed several proposals of Qiao Hai in a row, stubborn, and finally fell into the trap arranged by Greg Popovich in a row, and the Spurs were able to lead by a large score in every quarter, and the power of the twin towers was perfectly demonstrated in this game.

"With 17 points down in the third quarter, the Lakers are infinitely close to losing five in a row, and it's hard to imagine that this team was considered the favorite to win the championship before the start of the season, and now they continue to fall and can't seem to find the feeling of winning......"

Commentator Mav Albert shook his head, and after analyzing the situation of this game, he turned his eyes to the sidelines and looked at Cortlambis: "The Lakers management made a stupid move, they actually let Cortlambis, a rookie coach, to put out the fire, maybe Kortlambis doesn't even know what tactics the Lakers are going to play, this approach is to push the Lakers into the fire pit, and now, the Lakers have plunged into the lotto area......"

"Perhaps, they need to change their coach again."

Jerry West was also on the sidelines, and it was an important game after the change of manager, but the result was disappointing for Jerry West.

Mitch Kupchak was also sitting next to Jerry West, and at this time, he was a little restless.

The Lakers played too badly, and after the change of coach, it didn't work, Jerry West had a gloomy face, turned his head and asked: "Do you want to give Kurt a little more time?" ”

Mitch Kupchak shook his head: "I don't know, Jerry, but I think if I had replaced Cotter with Joe, this game might have been won." ”

"Joe?" Jerry West paused for a moment and didn't speak for a long time.

The game continued, and at the beginning, Cortlambis also asked Qiao Hai for some advice, and now, Cortlambis seems to have forgotten that Qiao Hai is in the team, he has ignored it, standing on the bench and commanding wildly, but the team's mentality has exploded......

By the time the margin widens to 25 points, the game is already a sure loss.

On the sidelines, it was still Jerry West, and he turned his head and asked again: "How's the contact with Phil Jackson?" ”

Michkupchak nodded: "It's close to an agreement, but it's still the same, he still has to rest for a season." ”

"Ask him again if he can go out of the mountain to fight the fire in advance."

With that, Jerry West got up and left his seat.

Mitch Kupchak also followed, and before leaving the Great Western Forum Arena, Mitch Kupchak glanced at the Lakers' bench, where Kortlambis was still screaming hoarsely, and Joe Hay sat in the coach's box, serious and silent.

Mitch Kupchak shook his head, and sighed in his heart: Kurt still hasn't been able to face himself.

Then I looked at Jerry West, who was walking slowly in front of him, and shook his head for a while: Jerry is old, he is only suitable to be a consultant, and he is in charge of the overall situation, so it is really time to change people.

Thinking about it, Mitch Kupchak was a little short of breath, and he felt that once Jerry West gave up his position as general manager, it would be time for him to take the position.

……

Qiao Hai on the sidelines also thought so, in this battle, Qiao Hai has completely recognized Cotlambis.

Cortlambis is not an obedient person, on the contrary, Cortlambis is very ambitious, he wants to use Qiao Hai to create a triangular tactical system, but the most important right of a real head coach, Cortlambis does not want to let go of any of them, and Cortlambis does not want to be a puppet.

In this way, everything is simple for Qiao Hai.

He doesn't have to be pressured to help Kotlambis, the triangle tactics will continue to practice, but for the rest, Qiao Hai won't give any more opinions, it's not that he doesn't help, but that Kotlambis doesn't need it.

For the rest of the games, Qiao Hai no longer paid attention, but thought carefully about his future.

If Certlanbis leads the team to dismal results, Jerry West will certainly not sit idly by and watch the team's results continue to decline, then there are two possibilities.

First, Phil Jackson joined the firefighters ahead of schedule, which is the worst news for Qiao Hai, Phil Jackson is the dynasty coach, and his ability is obvious, Phil Jackson's most praised ability is to pinch superstars, so as long as Phil Jackson arrives, the Lakers' crisis will be solved immediately.

Second, Phil Jackson is reluctant to join early, and this is the situation Qiao Hai wants to see, when the time comes, Jerry West will definitely look for an acting head coach again, and Qiao Hai is obviously the number one candidate.

So now, Johi waited for Cortlambis to continue his own death.

In the end, the game ended, the Lakers lost to the Spurs at home, and Cortambis left the arena with a cold face, believing that he still had a chance, and this game was just a lack of preparation and a strong opponent, which led to a heavy defeat.

Cortambis also felt that the team would not give up on him so quickly, at least they would give him enough time to prove themselves, so Cortambis was not in a hurry.

However, after losing this game, Cortlanbis did not communicate with Qiao Hai anymore, because he already regarded Qiao Hai as his opponent, and Cotlambis, who knew very well that if he got out of class, it would be Qiao Hai who would take over the Lakers, so he and Qiao Hai were competitors, and Cotlambis's was not ready to ask Qiao Hai for help anymore, he chose to continue to believe in himself.

After this game, Cortlambis, on the contrary, communicated with Jim Eden, summing up the problems of this game.

Cotlambis's thinking is simple, he has to get back on the field in the next game!

After the game, Qiao Hai suddenly became very idle, Kotlambis no longer asked him this and that, Qiao Hai could only communicate with Byron Scott, for the current situation of the Lakers, Byron Scott felt that the Lakers needed an experienced coach to solve the problem, not a rookie coach like Cotlambis.

So Byron Scott said that even if Jerry West asked him to play, he wouldn't play.

At the same time, Byron Scott doesn't think Qiao Hai can succeed, in the Lakers' coaching staff, Byron Scott is only optimistic about Jim Eden, the old coach, and maybe the only one who can save the game now is Jim Eden.

For Byron Scott's argument, Qiao Hai could only smile in return.

Then, continue to quietly wait for your chance.
