The first win in the home opener! An incredible victory!

All the fans were cheering, 108:99, a 9-point victory was worth cheering, but more importantly, they actually beat the Trail Blazers at home! You know, the Trail Blazers were third in the West in the regular season last season, and they are a complete powerhouse!

Last season, the Grizzlies won just eight games, and before this season, the Grizzlies lost three consecutive season openers, losing to the Trail Blazers in 1996, the Mavericks in 1997, and the Kings in 1998.

In four seasons in the NBA, they have only won one opener, and that was the first season in the NBA, and they beat the Trail Blazers at that time, but the difference is that the Trail Blazers were only a team on the fringes of the playoffs at that time, and that victory was quite accidental.

And this victory is completely different, this victory, the Grizzlies won heartily, the whole game, they are constantly cutting, running, passing, shooting, and attacking, the offense is not gorgeous, but at least beautiful, so to speak, the Grizzlies won the victory with a beautiful offense.

This is something the Grizzlies have never done in the past four seasons.

So, the fans are very excited, and the fans who can be there to support the team when the team's record is bad are real diehards.

At the end of the game, die-hard fans were reluctant to leave.

And on the sidelines, the Grizzlies players who won the game were also very excited.

In this game, the best Maddie is being interviewed, the whole game, Maddy shot 11 of 20, scored 29 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals, of which in the first quarter, Maddie scored 11 points, and in the crucial fourth quarter, Qiao Hai also gave Maddie more singles opportunities, and Maddie also repaid Qiao Hai with another 10 points in a single quarter.

Such a Maddie obviously surprised many people.

Last season, Maddie was still the younger brother behind Vince Carter, and he could only come off the bench and do all kinds of dirty work, who would have thought that in the second season, Maddy, who transferred to the Grizzlies, directly got a lot of opportunities, and also played beautiful statistics.

29 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals, this statistic can be compared with Maddy's cousin Vince Carter.

McBrin paid close attention to the Grizzlies' post-game stats, and finally, when the stats came out, he glanced at Brad Miller's stats, who were at the heart of Princeton's play, and Brad Miller performed well, scoring 11 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists in the game, but there were no blocks.

Obviously, as the tactical core, Brad Miller's performance was qualified, but as a center forward, his performance was average.

So, McBlin's post-game summary was: "If Qiao Hai is given a better big man to organize the offense and protect the basket, maybe this game will be easier for the Grizzlies to win." ”

When McBrin summed up after the game, Qiao Hai had already taken his players off the court, and the team's press officer also urged Qiao Hai to attend the post-game press conference.

On the other side, Mike Dunleavy had already left, this loss made him very angry, he didn't look down on Qiao Hai, but in this game, he lost very completely, from beginning to end, the Grizzlies were suppressing the Trail Blazers, Mike Dunleavy even felt that sometimes, as long as he adjusted slightly, the Trail Blazers could suppress the Grizzlies in turn, but every time, he just adjusted, Qiao Hai's side followed the adjustment.

This led to Mike Dunleavy being suppressed by Joe Hay from beginning to end, and Mike Dunleavy felt so humiliated that he was actually beaten by a head coach he looked down on......

Mike Dunleavy didn't attend the post-match press conference, and he felt he needed to reflect on himself.

Qiao Hai didn't have much thought, and he still attended the press conference after the game.

Compared with the dismal pre-match press conference, which only had four reporters, the post-match press conference had a lot of reporters.

In addition to the previous four, the reporters of USA Today, the reporters of Vancouver News, another local media outlet in Vancouver, and several local reporters in Portland, at least there were a dozen reporters on the scene, and it seemed at least not so shabby.

At the scene, as soon as Qiao Hai arrived, a reporter couldn't wait to ask questions.

"Coach Qiaohai, how does it feel to win the first game of the season?"

The question was asked by Ronald Tillery, a reporter from the Vancouver Business Daily, and apparently, the local Vancouver reporter is a Grizzlies fan and feels good about the win, so, he wants to know how Joe Hay feels.

Qiao Hai smiled: "It's great, we won a strong opponent. ”

As soon as Qiao Hai said this, the faces of the reporters in Portland, who were still a little hostile, instantly softened, and Qiao Hai's words were regarded as acknowledging the strength of the pioneers.

But other reporters were not so easy to fool, Sports Illustrated's Ben Griff raised his hand, and after raising his hand, he opened his mouth to ask: "Coach Qiao Hai, the Trail Blazers were third in the West last season, and the Grizzlies were the last to last, so is the victory in this game an accident?" ”

"Was it accidental? You'll soon find out. ”

Qiao Hai avoided answering a little, he didn't want to set up a target so quickly, so he seemed a little low-key.

But some people didn't want to see Qiao Hai's low-key, Ben Greve asked: "Soon to know?" Does this mean that the Grizzlies will prove that this is not an accident with more wins? ”

Qiao Hai thought for a while and continued to answer the question: "We will strive for more victories, and the rest is hard to say." ”

After saying this, Qiao Hai didn't want to see Ben Greeve anymore, so he directly ordered another reporter, Byron MacDonald from the Vancouver News.

At the pre-game press conference, Byron McDonald did not attend, he felt that the Grizzlies had nothing to pay attention to after four consecutive seasons of bad records, but at the end of the game, the Grizzlies actually won! This made Byron McDonald a little embarrassed, and he had to rush over to the post-game press conference to dig up a bit of news.

Fortunately, because of his status in the local media, the new Grizzlies still gave him the opportunity to ask questions.

And his question was: "In the next game, the Grizzlies' opponent is the Lakers, may I ask Coach Qiao Hai, you will meet your old club in the next game, do you have anything to say?" Or do you think the Grizzlies will be able to complete their winning streak? ”

Hearing this question, Qiao Hai frowned, he felt that this Byron MacDonald was a little dishonest, and asking such a question was obviously going to pick up saliva, such a local media, obviously pay attention to it.

And such a question, Qiao Hai really didn't want to answer, thought about it, and continued to answer the question: "No one doesn't want to win, so we will try to win the game and complete the winning streak." ”

In this way, Qiao Hai fooled this question again.

But there is a serious problem, in the next game, the Grizzlies will face the Lakers at home, Qiao Hai spoke before, to win all the home games in November, so the next game, can the Grizzlies really win?
