On February 22, U.S. time, the Lakers, who changed coaches again, ushered in their eleventh game of the shrinking season, and this game will also be the debut of Qiao Hai's coaching career.

In the first ten games, the Lakers are 2-8 and currently in twelfth place in the West.

Only better than the Nuggets, Clippers and Grizzlies, even the 3-7 Mavericks are ahead of the Lakers, and if the Lakers lose this game, they will fall behind the Nuggets and really enter the bottom ranks.

Therefore, the redemption battle of the Lakers in this game is also the battle of Qiao Hai's name.

This game is an away game, the Nuggets are not popular at home, and the current Nuggets are in the swing stage, although there are also good players like Antonio McDyce and Nick Van Exel, Qiao Hai also saw the second-year point guard, the future Finals civilian MVP Chaunsibi-Loops in the Nuggets' player list, as well as rookie center Reevra Frenz, second-year rebounder Danny Fortson and other famous players in later generations.

It can be said that just looking at the lineup, the strength of the Nuggets is not bad.

Antonio McDyes, who averages 20+10 per game, is the biggest threat the Lakers face.

In the away team's locker room before the start of the game, there was a tactical board erected in front of Qiao Hai, he didn't communicate more with his coaching staff, anyway, Byron Scott was not ready to help him, although Jim Eden was an old coach, Qiao Hai didn't think Jim Eden could give Qiao Hai any good advice, as for Stan Lefour, it was entirely because Stan Lefour lacked experience and even needed to learn.

Therefore, Qiao Hai can't rely on anyone, he can only rely on himself.

"First of all, the starting lineup for this game is ......" Qiao Hai was very direct, just entered the locker room, and directly began to announce the starting lineup for this game. Point guard Derrick Fisher, shooting guard Kobe Bryant, small forward Rick Fox, power forward Robert Horry, and center Shaquille O'Neal. ”

Eddie Jones was a little disappointed that he didn't hear his name in the starting lineup, but he was well aware that the team was already trying to trade him, and maybe the deal was close to completion.

Qiao Hai put on a regular starting lineup, but his next setup surprised Byron Scott.

"Next, our style of play is very simple, triangle attacking tactics, we have been practicing this tactic for the past week, and this game, I need you to play what you usually practice."

Triangle tactics?

Byron Scott shook his head secretly, he felt that Qiao Hai was crazy, the difficulty of the triangle tactic was well known, and it was a fool's dream to use it in an official competition after only a week of practice.

In Byron Scott's opinion, this game is already half lost.

Qiao Hai is still making specific arrangements, of course he knows that after just a week of practice, the triangle offensive tactics have obviously not been fully formed, but under the effect of Qiao Hai's 98% proficiency triangle offensive tactical board, the Lakers' triangle offensive tactical proficiency has come to 35%.

35% proficiency, in Qiao Hai's opinion, the triangular tactics of this proficiency can already be used in official games, especially if the opponent in this game is still a bad team like the Nuggets, if you don't practice at this time, when will you wait?

Finally, Qiao Hai clapped his hands: "Okay, guys, let's go, we can't lose this game again, show your 100% state and beat the Denver people!" ”

……

Qiao Hai sat down in the coach's seat, the leftmost position of the coach's seat, this position is the exclusive seat of the team's head coach, the first time he sat in this position, Qiao Hai was quite emotional.

With few fans at the Nuggets' home stadium and a large number of empty seats in the farthest stands, it was clear that the Nuggets' poor record had affected their attendance, and next to the technical station, NBC TV sent out a commentary combo of McBryngammav Albert.

"Alright, guys, the game is about to start, two teams that have not been in good form lately, the Nuggets are playing at home, and they have point guard Nick Van Exel, shooting guard Eric Washington, small forward Eric Williams, power forward Antonio McDyce and center Reevra Frenz."

McBrin began by introducing the Nuggets' starting lineup.

Qiao Hai also observed the Nuggets' starting lineup off the court, the Nuggets' starting lineup, the biggest problem is their defense, among the inside and outside players, the best defense is Eric Williams, who is not as good as before after a major injury, and even their star player Antonio McDyce, has a lot of problems on the defensive end.

Therefore, the Lakers' style of play in this game is very simple, which is offense.

McBrin began to introduce the Lakers' starting lineup: "The Lakers put out a regular starting lineup for this game, with Derrick Fisher at point guard, Kobe Bryant at shooting guard, Rick Fox at small forward, Robert Horry at power forward and Shaquille O'Neal at center. ”

"They still have Eddie Jones and Derrick Harper on the bench, so half a month after the start of the regular season, the Lakers with such a luxurious lineup have only won two games, which is amazing, and it is worth mentioning that the Lakers have changed coaches again in this game, which is the second change of coach since the Lakers started this season."

Mav Albert couldn't help but interject: "Yes, two coaches, one is more outrageous than the other, the first coach was replaced by the newly retired Cortlambis, and the result was two painful defeats, the Lakers' situation is even worse, this time, they actually replaced a 23-year-old Chinese coach, is it that the goal of the Lakers this season is to swing badly?" ”

"Rotten? Let me think, are there any good rookies this year? Elton Brand? Or Steve Francis? ”

The commentary seat kept teasing the Lakers' choice, Qiao Hai couldn't hear it, but even if he could hear it, he wouldn't care.

Anyway, time will tell.

Qiao Hai sat in the coach's seat, the game started, he had already arranged everything, and then he just watched the game calmly and waited for the Lakers to win the game.

Stanleford sat next to him, worried.

"Joe, I heard Jim say that the triangle tactic has only been practiced for more than a week, and now it's going to be used, isn't it in a hurry? Denver is not a very strong opponent either, with conventional tactics, this game was won, but now ......"

Qiao Hai shook his head: "You don't understand, Stan, this is the way to go, the sooner we use the triangle tactics, we can get on the right track as soon as possible." ”

On the field, the center forwards of the two teams have walked to the center circle and are ready to start jumping the ball.

Qiao Hai added: "Moreover, even if you come up with a triangle tactic, you won't lose this game." ”

Jumping the ball, Shaquille O'Neal beat Rivra Frenz and grabbed the ball.

The game got on, Derrick Fisher took the ball over the halfway line and then directly to Rick Fox, and the triangle was straight on, with Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal both in positions where they could receive the ball.

Derrick Fisher and Robert Horry also started to run, with Rick Fox passing the ball to Kobe Bryant, who singled in to draw the defense and then passed the ball again.

This time there was a direct opportunity.

"The Lakers opened the game to Rick Fox, and Rick Fox organized the offense?" McBrin had some doubts.

Mav Albert nodded: "It's not surprising, the Lakers lack a playmaker, and letting Rick Fox organize the offense is the best way in desperation." ”

When Kobe Bryant took the ball and singled out, attracted the defense and passed a good ball, Mav Albert directly shouted: "Beautiful pass!" Kobe Bryant Kills One Stone, Shaq! boom！ ”

On the court, there was a loud bang, and Shaquille O'Neal was already hanging on the basket.

2:0！ The Lakers took the lead.

The offense ended, and the Lakers quickly stepped back to defend.

In the Nuggets' round, Lakers veteran Nick Van Exel took the ball and attacked strongly, but missed the outside shot.

"There's nothing wrong with this match, Stan, go to the sidelines and shout for Rick to give Kobe Bryant and Shaq more chances to single."

Don't blame Jerry West for trading Van Exel, as far as Van Exel's style of play is concerned, it is indeed a cancer for the team that aims to compete for the championship, with my Lakers veteran Nick Van Exel, the Lakers' victory has been stable.

And then, it's time for the Lakers to practice their triangle offensive tactics.
