The Western Restaurant next to the Vancouver Municipal Building, a Western restaurant called the Tea Room Restaurant, is known as the oldest Western restaurant in Vancouver.

Qiao Hai led Popovich into the dining hall under the guidance of the waiter, accompanied by Mike Budenholzer and Brett Brown, the two assistant coaches of the Spurs.

This meal, Qiao Hai can be regarded as a blood, no way, just now, Qiao Hai was going to lead Popovich to the restaurant in Chinatown and eat a casual meal, but in the car, Popovich squinted his eyes and said: "Joe, you should know that I am a good drinker, ordinary wine, I can't look at it, let alone taste it." ”

When Qiao Hai heard this, he squinted his eyes.

He knew that Popovich loved wine, and Qiao Hai had drunk Popovich's wine once, and he knew that Popovich had built a huge wine cellar with about 3,000 bottles of wine, and there were countless top wines.

After a hard time, Qiao Hai hesitated, but finally changed direction and took Popovich to this tea room restaurant.

For this old tea room restaurant, Popovich seemed more satisfied, although he didn't communicate much with Qiao Hai along the way, but Qiao Hai took him to the tea room restaurant, and it was obvious that Popovich had a satisfied smile on his face.

Qiao Hai shook his head, conservatively estimating that this meal would eat up half a week's salary.

"Alright, everyone, sit down!"

The waiter helped Qiao Hai and them find a seat, and the group of four sat down, and Qiao Hai directly handed the menu to Popovich.

"Greg, come on."

Popovich pushed the menu back: "No, it's up to you." ”

"Okay, I'll have some, let's order the wine first......" Qiao Hai was speechless for a while and glanced at the waiter. You have the best red wine, a bottle. ”

"Igan wine's 1997 wine, $2,800 a bottle, are you sure, sir?"

Qiao Hai endured the pain in his flesh: "Sure." ”

On the other side, Popovich heard the name and year of the red wine, but said: "The wine of Igan Winery is really good, but the 1997 Igan wine, the vintage is closer, you can barely drink it......"

Qiao Hai squinted his eyes and continued to be speechless.

$2,800 a bottle of wine, barely able to drink? You're going to heaven!

Mike Budenholzer helped Popovich explain: "The Greg family has a bottle of 1990 Igan in the cellar, which should be worth several times the value of this 97 year old Igan." ”

Qiao Hai shook his head: "I don't understand red wine, anyway, it's expensive!" ”

Then order.

Steaks, side dishes, etc., only cost $2,650 when they were served, and a bottle of wine was not as expensive.

In the end, a total of $5,450 was spent, and Qiao Hai added another $50, which was considered a tip.

The main meal was quickly served.

Red wine also came, Igan 1997 red wine, Popovich rushed to receive it, looked at the bottle, didn't know what he was looking at, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

With the help of the waiter, Popovich sniffed the bottle and said with a smile: "Yes, it is indeed the 1997 Igan wine." ”

Qiao Hai smiled and rolled his eyes.

Four ornate goblets, Popovich poured the wine himself, and in each cup poured a small half glass, or a third to be exact.

Mike Budenholzer and Brett Brown raised their glasses and shook them gently.

Qiao Hai picked up the wine glass and poured it violently, seeing that the red wine suddenly fell down the waterline as thick as half a finger.

Popovich on the other side had just picked up his wine glass, and when he saw Qiao Hai pouring it violently, his eyes immediately widened: "You kid!" Such a good wine, it's a waste for you to drink! ”

How could Qiao Hai not know that red wine needs to be tasted slowly, he did this to make Popovich feel distressed, so that he could balance his heart by casually agreeing to invite Popovich to dinner, but he had a blood outbreak.

Regardless of Popovich's reaction, Qiao Hai drank the red wine in the goblet in two or three sips.

The group of four also began to talk and laugh.

"The joint defense has been released, and many teams have started to play joint defense, and the offense will be difficult......"

This is Mike Budenholzer's exclamation.

"So at this time, it's really important to learn a little bit about the European experience."

This is Brett Brown's experience.

Qiao Hai also nodded: "Yes, if you want to break the joint defense, you must either be the individual singles of the stars, or you have to find a way from the technical and tactical aspects." ”

Speaking of techniques and tactics, Popovich naturally mentioned the Grizzlies' current tactics: "Joe, what is the tactic you are playing now?" ”

Qiao Hai smiled, but he wasn't ready to hide it, after all, he also said it in front of the media: "Blocking tactics." ”

"Very good offensive tactics, in fact, I'd like to know, Joe, where did you get the idea to organize this tactical play?"

Qiao Hai still smiled: "Of course, I researched it myself, in fact, it is very simple, basketball offense is to create space, and the defense of creating space is varied, but the most effective is to break through, air cut, plus blocking and dismantling, and run the ball, and the space will naturally come uninvited......"

Qiao Hai's ideas are simple, and it is still difficult to put them into practice, so he is not afraid of Popovich's plagiarism, if Popovich really wants to plagiarize, there will be no results without half a year of research.

Qiao Hai was able to organize blocking and cutting tactics, relying on the hammer tactics obtained in the system, based on the hammer tactics, plus the blocking and dismantling offense and the Princeton offense, a set of blocking and cutting tactics was naturally formed.

talked about the Grizzlies' blocking tactics, Popovich didn't hide his secrets, and also talked about the Spurs' style of play this season.

"The joint defense is actually very simple, two or three joint defense, three two joint defense, one two two joint defense, two two one joint defense, for different opponents, how to defend, what kind of joint defense to use, the Spurs side, David guards the basket, he is not moving this point, playing the Lakers, David is going to top Shaq, and Tim's position is moving, the way of movement is very simple, staring at Kobe Bryant's position, Kobe Bryant is on the right side, Tim also goes to the right side, Kobe is on the left side, Tim will also appear on the left side......"

In the tea room restaurant, Popovich's somewhat hoarse voice kept sounding.

"On the outside, Bruce locks one man one-on-one, Derek uses his footsteps to rotate and switch defenses, and Avery is still good to focus on defense despite being old......"

The stairs on the side suddenly sounded three muffled sounds, and a person rolled down from the stairs......

Then, I heard a beautiful voice from upstairs: "I have fattened you!" Dare to pour my wine! Who gave you the guts? Liu Haidong? Or Bangs? Or Liu Haibei? ”

Liu ...... Liu Hainan ......"

There was a commotion, and Popovich was interrupted.

Qiao Hai was stunned and stood up: "Han Xue?!" ”
