At the end of the All-Star Game, Kobe Bryant and Jermaine O'Neal at the last moment, and even Kevin Garnett, who didn't spare his hand at all in the second overtime.

It became the focus of public opinion the next day.

Their appearance directly rescued Qiao Hai, originally, on the last day of the All-Star, the headlines of major media were all Qiao Hai.

What is the big news, Qiao Hai joins the bid for the expansion of the army, or becomes the owner of the new NBA army!

What else Qiao Hai is participating in the expansion bid, his time in the rocket has already counted down!

And so on and so forth!

But after the All-Star Game, the focus of public opinion suddenly became Michael Jordan's loss of AMVP, Kobe Bryant's brain pumping Jermaine O'Neal's brain, Kevin Garnett's selfishness and disregard for the overall situation, and so on.

……

……

Escaping from the storm of public opinion, Qiao Hai returned to Houston that night.

After going home to catch up on sleep, the next day, it was not a training day, but Qiao Hai called one after another to confirm that all the players had returned to Houston.

Then one after another phone call was made, and all the members of the coaching staff were gathered.

……

In the video editing room of the rocket, Qiao Hai found a bundle of videotapes with the help of Tang Yi.

"These are all tapes of all the Grizzlies games since Hubbie Brown led the team."

In the next game, the Rockets' opponent is the Jazz, but before the All-Star, the Rockets have already played the Jazz, so in this game, they don't need to discuss anything more.

After playing the Jazz, the Rockets had no time to rest at all, and they were going to face the Grizzlies directly.

So, Joe rushed back to Houston overnight and held a tactical meeting to discuss how to deal with the Grizzlies, who are currently ranked second in the West.

Qiao Hai carried the prepared videotape, according to the schedule on Hoop Sports, selected a few games, and then picked out the videotape.

The coaches haven't come yet, but Qiao Hai has already picked out a game and started watching it.

This season, under the leadership of Hubby Brown, the Grizzlies have gradually shown stable and spicy characteristics, which can be regarded as a winning gene brought by the veteran coach Hubby Brown.

But overall, Hubby Brown still has to thank Qiao Hai, if it weren't for Qiao Hai, it would be difficult for this Grizzlies team to have such stability and such old spiciness.

The Grizzlies' starting five Tigers this season are still strong, the outside line is Chaun Billups plus Maddy, the small forward is Sean Marion, and the inside line is roughly plus Pau Gasol, and the starting five Tigers are all left by Qiao Hai.

On the bench, the Grizzlies also have Michael Reed and Jamal Magloyle left by Joehai.

It can be said that Qiao Hai's Grizzlies have been dismantled a lot by Billy Knight, losing outstanding players such as Manuginobili and Stephen Jackson, but this lineup is still the top lineup in the league.

The media with good things has divided the NBA this season, and they believe that the Grizzlies, Lakers and Spurs are the teams in the first pot, and then the Mavericks, Nets and other teams are the teams in the second pot, and the final championship team will definitely be separated from these three teams.

Qiao Hai actually thinks so, I have to say that Billy Knight is still quite smart, he knows how good the players left by Qiao Hai are, as long as he has the ability to stay, he will choose to stay.

But Billy Knight now faces a choice, Billups, Maddy, and roughly three multi-million contracts have locked up salary space for the Grizzlies, while Sean Marion is in the final year of his rookie contract and Jamal Magloyer has only two years left on his rookie contract.

Michael Reed's contract expired last year, and Billy Knight used the Grizzlies' last salary space to give Michael Reed a three-year, $20 million contract, of which the third year of the contract is a player option, and Michael Reed can jump out of the contract.

For the Grizzlies, their rookie bonus has been eaten for a long time, and with Qiao Hai leaving, it will be difficult for them to continue to eat such a high-quality rookie bonus.

In the 2002 draft, without Qiao Hai's help, the Grizzlies' first-round draft rookie was a big forward named Robert Archibald, who sat on the bench this season and couldn't play at all.

One of the most obvious issues facing Billy Knight is that he needs to make a choice between renewing Sean Marion's contract with the cap, or giving up roughly or Billups and then renewing Sean Marion, or even giving up Sean Marion altogether, and letting Marion, whose rookie contract expires, flow into free agency.

As for Michael Reed, by the time his first two years of contract end and jump out of his third year, the Grizzlies are doomed to lose the promising shooting guard.

In fact, in the face of such a contract renewal problem, there have been several quarrels within the Grizzlies.

Former coach Lionel Hollins had suggested that the team make a trade to send Wang Zhizhi and Jamal Magloyer away in exchange for Knicks center Marcus Camby.

But this proposal was directly rejected by Billy Knight and team owner Michael Haesley, for a very direct reason: "Wang Zhizhi's commercial value is very high, he is a real non-sale for this team!" Even Tracy can't beat him! ”

Indeed, although he has not been selected as an All-Star, and his commercial value is not as good as Yao Ming, compared to other non-Celestial Empire players, the approximate commercial value is already a notch higher, because the market of the Celestial Empire is vast.

A player who can help himself make a lot of money, Michael Haesley said that he would not let go, this is the God of Wealth!

So, the deal fails.

For Billy Knight, the choice he has to make is actually quite simple, whether to keep Chauncy Billups or Sean Marion?

and whether to trade Jamal Magloyer, who has only two years left on his rookie contract.

The trade deadline is just around the corner, and it's all a mystery.

……

……

Qiao Hai watched the Grizzlies game in half of the game, and soon, he had a clear understanding of the Grizzlies' tactical style, technical and tactical play.

The coaching staff was also in full swing, and he played the Grizzlies' second half of the game and the second game.

After watching the two games, the third game was played on one side and on the other, and the discussion began.

"The tactical play of this Grizzlies is very simple, Hubi Brown should have watched a lot of Joe's ball when he was with the Grizzlies, and his tactics were actually born from Qiao Hai's tactics when he coached the Grizzlies."

Stan Loreford analyzed: "The outside line relies on Chauncy and Tracy two star individual singles on the outside, Pau Gasol is still growing on the inside, and Wang's singles ability is also very average, so their offense is also biased towards the outside." ”

Brad Stevens also opened his mouth to analyze: "Their offense, the main body is singles, a bit like a triangle attack, of course, it is a modified triangle attack, the style of play is outside, but the offensive firepower is not only on the outside, on the inside, Pau Gasol and Wang's singles also have to be defended." ”

"At the same time, their defense is also very good, or it is better to summarize it in terms of stability, Sean Marion is the core of their defense, so to speak, almost relying on Sean Marion alone, the Grizzlies have a defense above the league average, and the abuse is very stable......"

“……”

"In this game, we can only play like this......"
