Six games have been played in the new season, and the Lakers have only managed two wins.

In contrast to the Jazz, who won six consecutive games and were in an unusually hot state, in the tight shrinking season, the young and strong Lakers stumbled, but the aging Jazz won all kinds of consecutive victories, and Jerry West couldn't see it.

From Mitch Kupchak's words, Jerry West had already learned that Joe Hay was excluded from Del Harris' coaching staff, so after the team lost two in a row again, Joe Hay became Jerry West's best person to understand the situation.

Jerry West's office, still furnished as it was last time.

Qiao Hai sat down on the sofa across from his desk, and Michkupchak also sat next to Qiao Hai.

Jerry West was still sitting behind his desk.

"I heard Mitch say, you're being overshadowed by Del? Tactically, you can't say anything anymore? ”

Qiao Hai did not deny it: "Yes. ”

This is already a fact that many people know, from the beginning Qiao Hai and Del Harris had a contradiction, and now, the contradiction has deepened to the point that it is about to tear his face, especially now that the Lakers have a poor record, there is no need for Qiao Hai to deny it.

Mitch Kupchak also helped Qiao Hai explain on the side: "Del is too stubborn, even if his grades are not very good now, he doesn't want to listen to Joe's opinion." ”

Jerry Weisse nodded: "I've watched all six games, and it's true that the team's problems are a bit big. ”

Jerry West flipped through the game record in front of him, which was the record made by Jerry West after watching the video of the six games, obviously, the godfather of the Lakers took the disadvantage of the start of the season very seriously, and specially went to watch the six games and made a summary.

"In the six games, only the first game was played with blocking and dismantling tactics, and the effect was very poor, so in the last five games, the team played back to last season's tactics, therefore, Kobe Bryant's role was not played at all, Shaq played no different from last season, Eddie came off the bench in two games and started four games, because he overlapped with Kobe's position, and he didn't play very well, okay, Joe, this is my analysis, what do you think are the team's problems?"

Jerry West summed it up, and he summed it up pretty much.

Qiao Hai thought about it for a moment and decided to continue around Jerry West's summary.

"In fact, the problem is very simple, the single-core team is difficult to go on in today's league, although Shaq is strong, his shortcomings are also obvious, physical problems, easy to be pinched at key moments of the game, defense is prevented from death, and the shark slashing tactics that appear in the Jazz are all important factors that limit Shaq, so we need another core."

"So, Kobe Bryant?"

"Yes, Kobe Bryant."

"But he didn't play well in six games."

"That's right, in six games, Kobe Bryant averaged 20.5 points per game, the shooting rate was just over forty percent, the efficiency was not high, and the playing was average, but the root cause was that Del didn't trust Kobe, in the blocking tactics, Kobe Bryant was just an outside ball transfer station, many times even if he got the basketball and got a good opportunity, he couldn't shoot, and in the last five games, Kobe Bryant didn't even have the role of the second core."

"In my opinion, if a star wants to play 100% of his personal strength, the most important thing he needs is enough freedom to allow the star to play freely."

Jerry West continued to nod: "So the best tactic you think is the best strategy for the Lakers is the triangle offensive strategy. ”

"Yes, in the triangle offensive strategy, Shaq can stay in his most dangerous box, and then we give Kobe Bryant enough freedom, the two work together, two threat points, and the offense can be much simpler."

"Triangle Offensive Tactics ......" Jerry West muttered, then looked up at Mitch Kupchak: "If I'm not mistaken, Phil Jackson is at home now?" ”

Qiao Hai was surprised when he asked this sentence.

"Wouldn't it? Has history changed? My little butterfly has a butterfly effect so quickly? Phil Jackson arrived a season early? ”

Mitch Kupchak on the sofa nodded, Phil Jackson has left the Bulls because of a conflict with Bulls general manager Jerry Claus, and is currently at home, Phil Jackson's famous tactics are triangle tactics, Qiao Hai mentioned this, thought about it, and indeed the most suitable head coach for the Lakers is Phil Jackson.

"Then make a plan, give Del a few more games, and if the situation is not optimistic, change the coach immediately, and shorten the season to only 50 games, we can't afford to wait."

Qiao Hai is a little confused, could it be that Phil Jackson really wants to come to the Lakers a season in advance?

After the meeting with Jerry West, Qiao Hai took two more days off from work with Mitch Kupchak, tomorrow, February 16, is the Lunar New Year of the Celestial Empire, Qiao Hai can't go home, although he is far away in the United States, he is also ready to take two days off to rest and rest.

Mitch Kupchak approved it, and then reported to Del Harris, who wished that Qiao Hai was not in sight, so he naturally agreed.

As a result, Qiao Hai got two days off.

But in the San Gabriel Valley, he is still alone, Old Joe has gone to New York, and his son does not have a holiday during the Spring Festival, but he can't help but reunite, so Old Joe can only fly over to reunite.

Qiao Hai was the only one left in the huge apartment, and after thinking about it, Qiao Hai ran to the nearest supermarket, bought a bunch of ingredients and came back, and then called Stanrefour.

"Hey Stan, it's been a long time, tomorrow is the Lunar New Year of our Celestial Empire, how about coming and meeting with me? I'm in for a treat, and your family is here. ”

The Stanlefords were called, and the apartment was lively......

The San Gabriel Valley is a Chinese settlement, and even in a foreign country, the atmosphere of the Spring Festival is strong, and the sound of firecrackers outside the window is constant.

Qiao Hai is busy in the kitchen, and he makes several good Chinese dishes.

Then Mrs. Stamleford also helped make American dishes such as turkey, smoked ham, steak, etc., and the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was complete.

Qiao Hai glanced at the time, seven o'clock.

It was not early, and he immediately happily beckoned the Stanleford family to sit down.

After a drink, while everyone was eating, Qiao Hai took out his mobile phone and dialed a number to go out.

After traveling to 1998, Qiao Hai often called his parents in this life, and he couldn't go back during the Spring Festival, Qiao Hai was relieved, to be honest, he didn't know how to face his parents in this life, because of the change in his personal trajectory, have his parents changed? Qiao Hai didn't know.

He could only judge from the words he said on the phone.

It seems that his mother is still the quiet, honest and loving mother, and his father is still a little strict, but also a little "picky" strict father.

This time on Chinese New Year's Eve, his mother also said a lot, although his father's words were not much, but the sentences were the point, which made Qiao Hai feel strongly homesick, but the problem of work, he could not go home, so, he shed some tears.

Eventually, he asked for a bank account from his father and was going to send money to the family the next day......
