Chapter 353: Three Links

In the evening game, Joe Hai said goodbye to Michael Jordan.

Qiao Hai knows that Jordan at this time already has the intention of coming back and fighting again, no way, the Wizards are too bad, as the general manager, no matter how hard Jordan tries, this Wizards is one of the worst teams in the East (unless he can hire Qiao Hai as the head coach).

However, in Qiao Hai's view, the genius's rot has its roots.

The former general manager of the Wizards was the Wizards' predecessor Bullets legend Wes Unseld, who made a brain-dead trade when he was in office, and he sent away the outstanding young power forward Chris Webber in exchange for the veteran Mitch Ridgemond.

Prior to this deal, the Wizards barely had a playoff game to play, and because Webber was still young, the future of the Wizards was bright.

But after the deal, the Wizards plummeted.

Old Rock Mitch Ridgemond has regressed badly and has long been unable to support a team, so after this deal, the Wizards were ruined.

Michael Jordan had just taken over, but Qiao Hai knew that after Jordan took over, the team was even more miserable.

Richard Hamilton, who was finally selected by the former general manager, was sent to the Pistons by Michael Jordan in exchange for Jerry Starkerhouse, and finally contributed to the Pistons' 04 Civilians winning the championship.

The champion drawn in 01 was selected by Kwame Brown, and the water directly became a piece of soaring, and then Kwame Brown went to the Lakers, and he didn't even dare to take the ball at the critical moment, and he couldn't believe that this would be the performance that a champion should have.

This season, the Wizards have two strong points, one is Juwan Howard on the inside, and the other is Richard Hamilton on the outside.

It is said that it is a strong point, but in fact, neither of the two strong points is strong.

At the beginning, Maddie went one-on-one with Richard Hamilton on the outside, and directly blew Hamilton out.

Inside line Juwan Howard didn't want to move after he got a big contract, and his real strength may be stronger than Rahim, but after he doesn't want to move, his strength can only be comparable to Rahim.

The Grizzlies will make another substitution, and the wheels will be battled.

The game was quickly one-sided.

A team like the Wizards is the best to play, he is not like those really big bad teams, real big bad teams, there will always be young players or fringe players in the team who want to fight.

It's not like teams that are one step away from the playoffs and can't go up.

The Wizards are the kind of team that doesn't have many young players, veterans with big contracts and don't want to move.

So, the Grizzlies won points easily.

At the end of the third quarter, they had a 20-point lead.

In the rest of the garbage time, Qiao Hai changed to roughly, plus a group of pure substitutes, with roughly as the core, the grizzly bears also played well.

The general improvement has been great recently, as can be seen from the overall rating.

The approximate potential is 88 points, and at the beginning, his total rating was 75 points, and recently, his total rating has started to approach 80 points, and has come to 79 points.

In recent games, basically, the approximate playing time has been five or five with Rahim.

Qiao Hai also knew that he couldn't hold it down, and now what he needed to think about was what kind of contract to leave roughly.

The Grizzlies are already paying the luxury tax this season, but Patrick Ewing's contract expires next season, which should free up some salary space.

And even if Ewing renews his contract, the Grizzlies will only give him a veteran base salary at most, and I believe Ewing will accept it.

So, looking at it this way, the grizzlies still have the money to renew their contracts.

But the question is, after the contract is renewed, what will happen to Sean Marion and Mike Bibby next? So, Johi was already somewhat inclined to send Rahim away.

……

……

After playing the Wizards, the Grizzlies continued to wander on the road.

There are three games left in February.

They first went to Chicago to take on the Bulls on the road.

Brad Miller played reasonably well with the Bulls, but he wasn't an All-Star level player in the first place, so his stats weren't significant, given the Bulls' poor record.

Brad Miller's five-year, 60 million contract has been regarded as a garbage contract by a large number of Bulls fans.

For the Grizzlies and Joe, after changing their tactical style of play in the new season, Brad Miller is no longer Joe and Grizzlies' dish.

At the end of the day, Brad Miller is just a special center, and he's only suitable for teams that need an offensive center who can handle the offensive center in the high post, like the Kings.

But the current kings don't need Brad Miller very much, because they still have Vlad Divac.

In this game, Brad Miller frequently responded to the high position, but the Grizzlies used a set of two or three defenses to directly block the Bulls' high position to respond to the offense.

In the end, the Grizzlies won 109-87, making it two straight wins on the road in the East!

After playing the Bulls, the Grizzlies played the Jazz on the road.

The Grizzlies lost again in this game, and Karl Malone made a big show in the middle range, scoring like crazy, cutting down 43 points and 11 rebounds, and the Grizzlies had nothing to do about it.

This also amplifies one of the Grizzlies' weaknesses, the mid-range position, they don't have a good defensive player, Raheem's defense is not very good, and the rough one-on-one defense is considered average.

The best is Sean Marion, but the key problem is that Marion doesn't have enough tonnage and block to threaten Karl Malone.

However, Qiao Hai has no opinion on this loss, not all teams have Karl Malone, and Karl Malone will not always be so hot.

There is a problem with the middle distance, but not too much.

When encountering a large tonnage, you can roughly carry it alone, and the small tonnage Sean Marion can be perfectly locked, and in general, as long as it is not like this game, it will definitely not be a big problem.

One loss is nothing for the Grizzlies right now, their lead is too big, and they have only lost eight games as February draws to a close.

Qiao Hai also didn't have the luxury of breaking the Bulls' 72-win record, and he knew very well that the Grizzlies weren't good enough.

After playing the Jazz, the Grizzlies finally ended this wave of road trips and returned to Vancouver.

In the final game in February, the Grizzlies faced the Mavericks at home.

In this game, Nelson Sr. obviously watched the last game, Carl Malone was invincible in the middle distance to snipe the Grizzlies, which made Nelson Sr. feel that he seemed to have found a way to win the Grizzlies.

As a result, Derknowitski was given the right to fire infinitely, and the effect was not as good as it would have been.

The reason is very simple, Nowitzki is not Karl Malone, and he does not have such a stable lower handicap, and Sean Marion is still very good at defending this kind of unstable player.

Only Nowitzki's hand is not very hot, it's not the kind of how to shoot, Sean Marion can't prevent it, and it can be prevented by changing to roughly defend.

So, coupled with the explosion of Manuginobili in this game, the Grizzlies easily won the game.

……

After this game, it ended in February.

There were only 28 days in February, and in those 28 days, the Grizzlies played 14 games and finished with a 12-2 record, and this month, the Grizzlies had the best record in the league.

As a result, Qiao Hai won another Coach of the Month trophy, three times in a row......
