Chapter 489: Best Manager Qiao Hai

The day after the Rockets returned to Houston, the major media in North America were like crazy, frantically reporting the results of the Rockets' Black Seven Grizzlies.

In addition to a report on the results of the game, many media outlets have dedicated a special feature.

ESPN's result report headlined: "4:2, Rockets upset!" Qiao Hai makes the grizzly bear regret it! ”

They did a special feature, the theme of the feature is: "Starting from sweetness, then contradictions, and finally to the consequences, after Qiao Hai joined the Grizzlies and created a two-time Galaxy Battleship, how did he leave the Grizzlies and make the Grizzlies regret this season......"

Hoop Sports' report on the game is: "Another big victory, Yao Ming broke out in a row, the rocket was upset, and Qiao Hai got revenge!" ”

They also made a special topic, which was: "From the whole process of six games, Qiao Hai's tactics and on-the-spot adjustment and suppression of the old coach Hubi Brown are analyzed!" The Grizzlies are missing out not only on a head coach who is good at building teams, but also on a young coach who is very good at coaching! ”

The content of the thematic analysis is: "Coach Hubbie Brown's ability is undoubted, he is the most qualified and capable coach in this league, even he was completely suppressed by Qiao Hai's tactical arrangement and on-the-spot adjustment, Qiao Hai's coaching ability is terrifying unimaginable!" ”

Sports Illustrated made a what if: "If Billy Knight hadn't forced Qiao Hai away, the current Grizzlies would have won four consecutive championships!" If Billy Knight hadn't forced Qiao Hai away, the young Qiao Hai would have even been able to turn the Grizzlies into another Celtic like Cardinal Auerbach! If Billy Knight hadn't forced Joe Hay away, Maddie would have even had a chance to surpass Michael Jordan......"

"But it's just if!"

Local in Vancouver, the Vancouver Business Daily's coverage of the game and the series was – furious! And ask someone to step up and take responsibility!

"Who is to blame for the disastrous defeat on the road and the worse and worse playoff results?"

The article points to Billy Knight's problem and asks Billy Knight's dismissal!

As for inviting back Qiao Hai, the Vancouver Business Daily also knows that this is already impossible, not to mention the expansion of Charlotte's army Qiao Hai joined, let's just say that the current good momentum of the rocket, Qiao Hai is unlikely to give up the rocket and return to the Grizzlies......

Just like Mav Albert and McBrin said, after the Rockets won and completed the Black Seven, public opinion in North America did explode.

Billy Knight was under a lot of pressure, but he didn't quit and seemed to be waiting for Grizzlies owner Michael Haesley to put him on trial.

And in front of the Grizzlies training gym, Vancouver fans hold up signs every day, demanding that the Grizzlies fire Billy Knight and ask the Grizzlies to invite back Qiao Hai!

In this Black Seven, Qiao Haiche completely let out a bad breath!

……

……

After the first-round series, the league announced the winners of the Sixth Man of the Year, the Most Improved Player and the Best Coach.

The best sixth man is Bobby Jackson, the most improved player is Gilbert Arenas, and the best coach is Greg Popovich.

The second round of the series is on!

The Rockets faced the Lakers, who barely beat the Kings 4:3, but before the game began, the Rockets came with bad news, Steve Francis was injured, although he only needed to rest for a month, but because there were not many games, he had been declared out of season!

In the first two games of the duel between the two teams, the Rockets lost two in a row and had no chance at all!

In these two games, the Rockets once again felt the gap between them and the top teams in the league, the gap was huge, and Qiao Hai was also very helpless!

He only has two status cards left, and he can only guarantee that the Rockets can win two games, and to win the series, they need to win four games.

Qiao Hai knows that the possibility of even destroying the Grizzlies and Lakers is already very low! Especially when Steve Francis has said goodbye to the playoffs early, the Rockets are short of people on the outside, and there is no chance......

But in the first game back at home, he still used a status card!

……

……

Houston, the lights are on, and there is still an hour before the start of the game.

In the press room of the Compaq Center, a group of reporters from all over the United States and the Celestial Empire gathered in a circle, and the press conference before the Rockets game was about to begin.

What is not quite the same as usual is that in the past, Qiao Hai and the others could only sit at a small table that could only accommodate two people, but today it was replaced by a long table, a bit like the kind of table in the technical table in the stadium, which can accommodate at least five or six people to sit at the same time.

The reporters smelled something unusual......

"Looks like it's going to be awarded......

An old reporter squinted his eyes and glanced at the long table covered with a black cloth.

"Awards? Best Manager? ”

A young journalist was clearly out of the picture, but he guessed the point.

The old reporter glanced at the young reporter: "Of course, except for the best manager, the other awards are presented in the stadium. ”

"So, Qiao Hai really got elected as the best manager of the season?"

Two years ago, Qiao Hai lifted the second Best Coach trophy, and Greg Popovich could only talk about the best manager trophy.

Greg Popovich's remarks that Johi couldn't have won the honor are still fresh in my mind, and just two years later, Greg Popovich won the best coach and Johi won the best manager......

While reporters were discussing a possible award ceremony, Qiao Hai and Darryl Morey walked out the side door.

Then, David Stern and the league staff, as well as the best manager trophy, also walked out of the other side door.

……

"I hereby announce that the winner of the 2002-2003 Regular Season Manager of the Year is the one who won the award! Qiao Hai! ”

The host appointed by the alliance announced Qiao Hai's award, and then David Stern handed the trophy to Qiao Hai, and Qiao Hai held the trophy in the presence of a large group of reporters.

The flashing lights are continuous, and the sound of clicking is endless.

After the trophy ceremony, Johi began to give interviews, and he first teased Popovich: "Now, I have two best coach trophies, one best manager, and Greg only has one best coach trophy and one best manager trophy, and now I am leading again." ”

Qiao Hai then spoke about the first two games of the Western Conference semifinals: "Yes, we lost two games in a row, and Steve Francis' injury affected us a lot, but I believe we still have a chance to win the game. ”

Finally, Qiao Hai looked forward to the next two home games: "In the next two home games, we will try to win and try to equalize the aggregate score!" ”

"We're going to get back on the same page with the Lakers!"
