First, this is the first time Qiao Hai has shouted the goal of the playoffs in front of outsiders, and Qiao Hai has no scruples, because he knows very well that no matter what, this season, the playoffs must be entered, and Qiao Hai doesn't want to be successful in the future, when someone finds out that Qiao Hai is still leading the team to pass through and give him the nickname of the lottery coach, it will not be fun.

Coupled with the reason for the main quest of the system, Qiao Hai must enter this playoffs.

If you have to enter, why can't you say it?

In the first battle against the Trailblazers, the system released another side quest.

"Ding, System Quest Release: Side Quest: Get off to a good start at home. Reward: 20 Victory Points. ”

Very ordinary side quest, but then, the system jumped a little more.

"Special Reward: One System Card Pack."

Suddenly a special reward popped up, Qiao Hai was also a little surprised, he looked at the introduction of this special reward.

"Special rewards, only when it comes to special games and moments, will jump out of special rewards."

Sure enough, the system will not provide a special reward for no reason, and this special session, here, may refer to Qiao Hai's debut after officially coaching.

And the system card pack in this special reward, Qiao Hai is also seeing it for the first time, and he looked at the introduction.

"The system card package can be used, and after use, a system card will be automatically obtained, and the card type will be random."

After glancing at the introduction, Qiao Hai suddenly felt that he must win the first game at home.

The system card pack automatically gets a random system card, isn't this equivalent to the Michael Jordan experience card, Ragnarok, and fast-growing cards obtained by lottery with dynasty points?

Of course, it is also possible that the BradMiller Experience Card is a card with a slightly smaller effect.

However, even if he draws a card like Brad Miller's experience card, Qiao Hai feels that this so-called system card pack is very attractive, so he must complete the task of making a good start to the regular season at home and get this valuable reward.

In the first game of the season against the Trail Blazers, Qiao Hai was not under pressure.

Not surprisingly, the Trail Blazers will start this season with point guard Damon Studamayre, the scoring guard is Steve Smith, who was just traded from the Hawks, the small forward is also new signing Detref Schramf, the power forward is Rashid Wallace, and the center is Europe's No. 1 center Avidas Sabonis.

The Trail Blazers' starting set has obvious characteristics, and the strength of the starters is very balanced, and each of them is a star player or a former star player.

In the tactics of veteran coach Mike Dunleavy, the Trail Blazers' style of play is also very team, and the starters average points per game very evenly, which was the case last season, and in the two games of the preseason, the Trail Blazers continued to play as a team last season, plus Bonzi Wells, Brian Grant, and Jermaine O'Neal, who was still sitting on the bench at this time.

The Trail Blazers, whether they are starters or substitutes, are very balanced.

Playing a team with average strength, Qiao Hai's pre-game targeted arrangement is a little difficult, no one knows, who the Trail Blazers will let the Trail Blazers attack in the opening game, no one knows, who among the Trail Blazers will break out in the game against the Grizzlies.

So, Qiao Hai thought about it and thought of another item in the system......

"Strong-side multi-player pressing defensive tactical board, proficiency: 100%."

This set of 100% proficient tactics has been ignored by Qiao Hai, the reason is that in 1999, the NBA had not yet opened joint defense, and the strong side multi-person pressing defense was just a set of joint defense tactics.

When the ball is on one side of the court, one of the defenders will often move towards the strong side, joining the defense of the ball carrier, forming a local pinch, and the defensive formation will also move, and all defenders will be closer to the ball.

This kind of defense can effectively limit the play of star players, and it can also play a certain role in a team with average strength like the Trail Blazers.

Its main effect is that when the ball carrier encounters such a defense, he can only choose to pass, and usually, passing the ball means the failure of an offensive attempt, so Qiao Hai suddenly remembered this tactic, and he couldn't help but fall into a long thought.

Obviously, this tactic needs to change when the joint defense is not yet open.

The NBA does not allow joint defense, but allows pseudo-joint defense, so Qiao Hai made some small adjustments to this set of tactics, so that the team's small forward Sammark plays the role of the defensive player who moves towards the strong side, and the original tactic is different, Sammark only moves to the player with the ball, so that the strong side multi-person pressing defense will become a set of pseudo joint defense tactics.

As long as you don't flank the off-ball, all joint defense tactics will become pseudo-joint defense.

Thinking of this, Qiao Hai knew what he had to do.

Before the opening game of the regular season, Qiao Hai still has a few days to go, but the simplified version of the strong-side multi-player pressing defense is not difficult, and it can be used with a little practice.

Of course, time was still a little tight, so Qiao Hai directly suspended the drill of Princeton's tactics and went all out to practice the multi-person pressing defense on the strong side.

In this way, on November 2, the regular season officially kicked off......

With the NBA regular season underway and months of offseason coming to an end, basketball fans are finally coming out of boredom and focusing on the new season.

The Grizzlies unveiled their home court, and the good thing for the Grizzlies is that they don't have to work long distances, and they can wait for their opponents to arrive at home.

On the morning of the game, Qiao Hai asked the team's press officer to arrange a press conference before the game, so that he could have a lot of time to make various preparations for the opening game in the afternoon.

The pre-match press conference can be said to be Qiao Hai's debut in the true sense of Vancouver.

However, when he came to the scene, Qiao Hai was a little disappointed.

Compared with the Lakers' press conference, the Grizzlies' pre-game press conference is really a little less player, a reporter from the local media, a reporter from Vancouver Business Daily Ronald Tillery, an ESPN reporter, Romena Shelburn, and Ben Griff of Sports Illustrated, and Jason Friedman of Yahoo Sports.

There are only four reporters, which is not comparable to the black reporters at the Lakers' press conference.

In this regard, Qiao Hai could only sigh secretly: "The poor record leads to a poor ball market, a poor ball market, a poor ball market, a lack of attention, no attention, which further leads to a poor ball market, a poor ball market, and further leads to no players willing to come, so the poor record is already a cycle." ”

But at the same time, Qiao Hai also knows that his arrival will break this cycle.

At the beginning of the press conference, after a few regular questions, Sports Illustrated's Ben Griff still began to make things difficult for Qiao Hai, he is not a reporter from Sports Illustrated in Vancouver, he came to Vancouver for the opening game of the regular season, but he is not here for vacation.

"Coach Qiao Hai, I want to know, from a championship team to a bottom team, this huge gap, how do you adapt to this gap?"

This question is too difficult, if Qiao Hai answers according to the normal process, then after the game, the Sports Illustrated report will become: Qiao Hai was forced to join the bottom team and could only adjust himself.

So, Qiao Hai thought for a moment: "I don't think the Grizzlies are the bottom team, maybe last season, but this season, he definitely isn't." ”

The answer was not asked, but obviously, Qiao Hai's answer was good enough.

Jason Friedman of Yahoo Sports is also not a reporter based in Vancouver, Ben Griff asked, and Jason Friedman immediately followed: "Before the regular season, many media believed that even if the Grizzlies can get out of the bottom, they will not be able to make more progress, and Yahoo Sports' preseason preview believes that at the end of the season, the Grizzlies will be ranked 12th in the West." ”

The twelfth in the West and the third from the bottom in the West.

Qiao Hai smiled: "I think all kinds of forecasts and forwards are unreasonable, time will tell." ”

After two difficult questions, Qiao Hai ended the pre-match press conference with a smile.
