After a two-point loss to the Spurs, the Grizzlies moved to Los Angeles that night.

They play two games in a row in Los Angeles, one away against the Lakers and the other away against the Clippers.

After the Grizzlies moved to Los Angeles, the media came in a honeycomb.

Joe's battle against Phil Jackson is one thing, and on the other hand, Maddy's last game slashed 47 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists, and almost became a god, which is also a reason.

Qiao Hai was a pity for a while, and he missed the last three points.

If that three-pointer goes in, the Grizzlies win by 1 point, and Maddy scores his first 50 points in his career, everyone is happy.

But now it's not bad, Maddie broke out again, these 47 points are the highest single-game points of any player so far this season, you can imagine how hot Maddie is now, and the deal of signing Gyan Treaves for Maddy Plus No. 5 is even more uncontroversial.

This Maddie is not only going to become an All-Star, but the development trajectory in December is going to be a superstar.

Maddy has played 5 games in December, averaging 35.4 points, 7.2 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.5 blocks per game.

In short, Maddie exploded, and the Grizzlies are about to produce a superstar.

Stu Jackson was also very pleased, he didn't expect that a deal that he was not optimistic about at the beginning would be exchanged for a Maddie who was heading for a superstar, and Glenn Gruward is now in the guts of regret, right?

Reporters rushed to Los Angeles to interview Maddie.

Qiao Hai was absolutely desperate, waved his hand, refused all, and did not allow Maddie to accept any media interviews.

Maddie didn't have any opinions here, but Maddie's agent called Qiao Hai directly.

Aarontrim, Qiao Hai had dealt with him before, and the relationship was not bad, so Aarontrim called, and his tone was very good, and he discussed with Qiao Hai in a consultative tone: "Coach Qiao Hai, it's really not that I want to trouble you, Tracy finally has such a high level of attention, let him be interviewed, this is an opportunity, seize this opportunity, Tracy can get a lot of endorsement contracts." ”

Qiao Hai also understands Aaruntrim's feelings, but before the big game against the Lakers, he can't let Maddie be interviewed by the media, and what Maddie has to do now is to prepare for the game quietly.

Therefore, Qiao Hai still refused, and gave a sufficient reason: "Mr. Aarontrim, I don't think you should be in a hurry, I can assure you that Tracy's excellent performance in recent times will continue, you still have a lot of opportunities, after playing the game with the Lakers, I can let Tracy be interviewed by any media." ”

Aarontrim's elbow couldn't reach his thigh, so he had to agree.

And now, the topic around the Grizzlies and the Lakers, except for Maddie who almost became a god, is Qiao Hai's grievances with the Lakers and Phil Jackson.

The first meeting between the two teams this season, the Grizzlies won by a large score, which directly triggered the criticism of the Lakers by the Los Angeles media and even the North American media for half a month, and the depreciation of Phil Jackson, but Phil Jackson is Phil Jackson, and the godfather of the dynasty level is not talking about playing, and in another half a month, Phil Jackson brought the Lakers back on track.

At present, the Grizzlies are 14-5, the Lakers are 15-6, and there is no win-win gap between the two teams, and the Grizzlies are ahead of the Lakers by virtue of their mutual records.

Against the Lakers, Qiao Hai is only allowed to win and not lose, so Qiao Hai is very serious about preparing for the game.

In Los Angeles, the Grizzlies have two days off, and those two days are the time for Qiao Hai to adjust.

The Lakers' offense is now difficult to defend, Kobe and O'Neal are connected, the two superstars, the Grizzlies can only pinch one, Kobe Bryant has to leak O'Neal, O'Neal has to miss Kobe, and these two superstars, as long as one is missed, the game will be difficult to play.

This is also the reason why after Phil Jackson's adjustment, the Lakers' record caught up.

Tactically, there wasn't much the Grizzlies could adjust, and after consulting with the coaching staff, Lionel Hollins came up with an idea.

"Change the formation and make substitutions, Ragabel starts, let Tracy play the No. 3 position, and the defensive end is marked by people, not wrapping up, and fighting for offense."

Ragabel's pestering defense has impressed the Grizzlies, and Joe feels that Ragabel is the equivalent of Bruce Bowen with the Lakers last season, and the status and role of the two are the same.

In this special game, Ragabel came in handy, using Ragabel to entangle Kobe Bryant and Brad Miller to resist O'Neal.

Qiao Hai doesn't expect them to be able to prevent Kobe and O'Neal, he just hopes that they can limit Kobe and O'Neal, and don't let the OK combination be super-godly.

On the offensive end, Qiao Hai also arranged a change.

In the first game of the season against the Lakers, Qiao Hai suddenly offered a low-post version of Princeton's offense, and the Grizzlies easily won the game by relying on this move.

This time, Qiao Hai did not arrange a backhand.

He is ready to increase the number of times Maddy and Brad Miller play blocking and pick-and-roll, Qiao Hai is the former head coach of the Lakers after all, and he is clear about the weaknesses of the Lakers, and when Qiao Hai was there last season, because of Scott Pippen, a weakness has not been revealed.

This season, Scott Pippen has degraded, and the problem is obvious.

O'Neal can't prevent the pick-and-roll, the Lakers' defense last season relied on Scott Pippen, and Scott Pippen can't prevent it this season, if the Grizzlies increase the number of blocks and pick-and-rolls of Maddie and Brad Miller, just this move, the Grizzlies can blow up the Lakers on the offensive end.

You must know that the current Maddie is already a superstar with a total rating of 91 points, and after blocking a demolition, he shot directly, the opponent's defense can't keep up, and no one can stop the hot Maddie.

Fighting the Lakers again, the Grizzlies' policy and strategy are summarized: one-on-one defense, and dead Maddy on offense.

It's a very simple strategy, but when it comes to really fighting, whether this strategy can work, Qiao Hai doesn't dare to say, the main question is whether Ragabel can withstand Kobe.

Of course, even if Ragabel can't withstand Kobe, Qiao Hai still has a backhand, Maddie is a superstar who integrates offense and defense, it's really not good, just let Maddie one-on-one Kobe, the two offend each other offensively and defensively, and the Grizzlies find advantages from other positions.

McBeebe, Rahim, they are obviously not easy to mess with.

The illegal joint defense incident is still fermenting, and at the pre-game press conference, Phil Jackson still didn't open which pot to mention, and seemed to have learned from Larry Bird's pre-game pressure, he said: "I don't want to see the Grizzlies use joint defense in games against us, joint defense is illegal, I want a fair game." ”

Fair game, Phil Jackson is not only pressing, but also seems to have found a way out for himself.

Even if the Lakers lose to the Grizzlies, Phil Jackson has a reason — the Grizzlies used illegal joint defense, and their win was unfair.

But by mistake, in the game against the Lakers, the Grizzlies are not ready to use a strong-side multi-person oppressive defense, they want to use man-to-man defense, a defensive strategy that cannot have illegal joint defense, perhaps, this is providential......
