In the away game against the Grizzlies, Han Xue did not appear in Vancouver.

Because she said that she could first exchange to Houston, complete her final year, and then go to Charlotte next year for an internship for a year, and then she can start working.

The relationship between Qiao Hai and Han Xue was also formalized.

Qiao Hai knew that this would be a satisfying relationship for both of them, but whether he could go to the end, he really couldn't guarantee that there was too much resistance ahead.

……

General Motors Arena, Qiao Hai returned to his hometown.

Unlike Los Angeles, fans here haven't forgotten what Joe Hai has done for the city.

On the sidelines, there were fans constantly raising cheering cards about Qiao Hai.

"Godfather - Qiao Hai!"

A large cheering sign with two lines of large characters written on it, on which was drawn a cartoon Qiao Hai.

"Qiao Hai, welcome home!"

The cheering sign is a picture of Vancouver's famous cityscape, then a picture of Qiao Hai's back, followed by a line of large letters.

“……”

There are still many cheering cards, Qiao Hai looked over one by one, very moved, he waved his hand to the sidelines, and then there was a tsunami-like cheer!

"More than two seasons in charge, two O'Brien Cups, two Best Coach trophies, Qiao Hai is the godfather of Vancouver basketball, here, all the fans want Qiao Hai to come back......"

On the commentary seat, Cherry Miller was quite emotional.

Last season, Qiao Hai's new team, the Rockets, didn't look like a success, but Qiao Hai still surprisingly took out the Grizzlies in the first round of the playoffs!

After this upset first-round playoff series, all Vancouver fans recognized the importance of Joe.

And this season, Joe Hai is back with the Rockets, which is an even more powerful Rocket, and all Vancouver fans know that Joe's success in Houston is also coming soon.

And the godfather of this grizzly bear should not return to Vancouver.

So, after the start of the game, the cheers of the pre-match welcome seamlessly cut into boos.

The Rockets were booed at the GM arena.

But in the frenzied boos, Maddie, who had just made a comeback, was prevented from death by Qiao Hai's targeted arrangement, and Ron Artest successfully ate Maddie one-on-one.

Veteran Gary Payton played a draw with Maddie.

On the inside, Yao Ming broke up with Pau Gasol alone.

In the end, the Rockets won 103:88 again!

……

It is worth mentioning that there are also contradictions within the Grizzlies, but they are not the main contradictions, at least there are no contradictions between core players such as Maddie and Billups.

But contradictions arose between the new players.

Roughly provoked, at the beginning of the season asked for a certain amount of ball possession, the Grizzlies in order to keep this God of Wealth, Michael Haesley personally came forward and interviewed Hubie Brown.

As a result, this season, he has roughly become the core of the Grizzlies' interior line, holding a lot of ball possession.

The Grizzlies' ball was originally not enough to score, so Pau Gasol on the inside had no ball to play with, and he became a blue-collar worker.

Sean Marion also lost most of the ball and he also became a blue-collar worker.

As a result, Pau Gasol had a conflict with the rough, and Sean Marion was also very dissatisfied with the Grizzlies management, but the contradiction was still small and had not yet erupted......

……

On January 21, Rocket returned to Houston, and Qiao Hai and Han Xue officially began their cohabitation life, omitting 800 words here.

The Rockets hosted the Knicks and defeated the opponent 96-71, and after this victory, the Rockets' winning streak this season finally broke through six games to seven in a row.

But after this game, the Rockets ushered in another wave of three consecutive Eastern visitors.

In the first game against the Pacers, the Rockets encountered a tough battle, and finally won 88-74, winning eight in a row.

Then, the Rockets rested for two days, faced the Magic on the road, and won 109-87 again, making it nine wins in a row, and ten wins in a row were within reach.

But in the last game, the Rockets fought the Heat back-to-back.

In the case of physical exhaustion and had to rotate significantly, the Rockets lost to the Heat 81-95.

With nine consecutive wins already in hand, the Rockets lost the tenth game, and finally missed the opportunity to win ten consecutive games, but Qiao Hai didn't care, he knew very well that the Rocket's physical problems had to be practiced for at least a month before they could be truly solved, and before that, ten consecutive wins were a luxury!

Fight after game, win the games that can be won, as long as the team's record can remain in the top three in the West and not too many wins behind the first place in the West, everything is acceptable.

In fact, since January, the Rockets have only lost 2 games, and under Qiao Hai's 12-man rotation and back-to-back direct large rotation policy, the Rockets' physical problems have been temporarily covered up, at least stable wins are not a problem.

……

After the loss to the Heat, there are two games left in January.

One King, one Nets.

Both teams are super strong teams in the East and West, and the pressure on the Rockets is still very high, but fortunately, there is a three-day break between the two games, and this time, the Rockets' physical fitness is at least no problem.

So, in the first battle, the rocket and the king fought a gorgeous battle against each other.

In the first quarter of the game, the two teams faced each other 34:34, and while playing a tie, they both scored a high score.

Then in the second quarter of the game, the Rockets beat the Kings 29:25, and at halftime, the Rockets directly led the Kings by 63:59, leading the Kings by 4 points.

In the third quarter, the Rockets beat the Kings to another 28-27, and the margin widened to 5 points.

But in the fourth quarter, Gary Payton and Yao Ming suddenly lost their touch, and in this quarter, the King 33:23, directly erased the 5-point disadvantage and reversed the game.

In the end, the Rockets lost 114-119, losing two games in a row.

……

In the final game against the Nets in January, Qiao Hai once again showed Byron Scott what a teacher is.

At halftime, they led the Nets by 21 points at 67:46 and sealed the victory very quickly.

In the end, the Rockets defeated the Nets 107-88 to end the losing streak.

……

That's all for January, and the Rockets lost just three games throughout January, with an overall record of 12-3 in January.

While they are still struggling with fitness issues, they played surprisingly well in January.

The 12-3 record also gives Qiao Hai the opportunity to compete for the honor of Coach of the Month, but there are also many coaches who compete with Qiao Hai, and the Timberwolves and Spurs, who broke out in January, have a chance to win the honor of Coach of the Month.

Therefore, Qiao Hai didn't have too many thoughts about this month's best.

However, the final results of the all-star voting were released, and Qiao Hai paid more attention, and he opened the summary report of Hoop Sports and looked at it, and smiled directly.

"The ticket king is out! With 257,000 votes, Yao Ming reversed Vince Carter and won the honor of vote king! ”

In the end, although the votes of the voting channel of Huopu Sports were not counted, Huopu Sports directly aroused the hatred of domestic fans through another operation, and helped Yao Ming win the honor of vote king again in one fell swoop!

So far, Yao Ming's ticket king has been in a row for two times!
