Skells was suspended and could only make a substitution.

He replaced Tom Gugliotta with Rodney Rodgers, the team's sixth man, and the height of the lineup dropped but the mobility was more than a little higher.

Then, after a lot of emphasis on the defense, Skeys ended the timeout.

On Qiao Hai's side, it is not difficult to guess that Skyles' adjustment must be to curb the Grizzlies' outburst by making substitutions to speed up, so Qiao Hai directly responded to it: "Defensively, our strategy remains the same, and on the offensive end, we slow down the speed and play with a success rate." ”

In the opening wave, the Grizzlies already had a 10-point lead, and now Qiaohai has to help the team stabilize that lead.

Slow down, play more efficient offense, and as long as they can score, the Grizzlies' lead will always be there.

In the first quarter, the main forces of the two teams fought fiercely, especially Kidd, the Grizzlies defended him very tightly, but in order to play his due offense, Kidd also began to speed up and began to rush, breaking the Grizzlies' defense through speed and impact.

The offensive foundation left by Danny Ange and the Suns still played a role, and in the second half of the first quarter, the Suns' offense was hot, and the point difference was controlled.

At the end of the first quarter, the Grizzlies led the Suns by 11 points, 31:20.

In the second quarter, there were substitutes on both sides, and Qiao Hai directly put on an unexpected lineup, with three outside point guards, Mike Bibby, Chaunsibillups and Earle Boykins, the power forward is Sean Marion, and the center is Rasian Nestrovich.

It's still the Princeton offense, but the offensive speed in Princeton's tactics has increased more than a notch.

With three outside point guards, Billups controlled the tempo, Mike Bibby and Earl Boykins scored various points and played half a quarter of the game, and the Grizzlies continued to extend their lead, and Scott Skels had to continue to call a timeout.

Qiao Hai was replaced by Maddy, Billups rested, and the lineup on the court became dual control.

Continue to suppress the Sun with offense.

Scott Skels is a rookie coach, and he hasn't adapted to coaching a team in person, so he met Qiao Hai directly in this game, and he couldn't raise his head by Qiao Hai's various small adjustments, and all kinds of responses were a lot slower.

At halftime, the Grizzlies had a 20-point lead.

In the third quarter, Qiao Hai put on a full main force, and after playing for more than five minutes, the difference was stretched to 30 points.

Qiao Hai on the sidelines waved his hand and roughly appeared again.

"Approximately!" In the front row of seats on the sidelines, Wang Weiye saw the rough idea and immediately shouted.

On the other side, Yan Hai said a little unlawfully: "Always appears in garbage time, does Qiao Hai want to roughly cultivate him as the king of garbage time?" ”

The meaning of this seems to be that Qiao Hai does not have enough training for the rough, at least not enough playing time, and always makes the appearance of the rough in garbage time.

Wang Weiye frowned, this time they came to find Qiao Hai, Yan Hai didn't seem very enthusiastic.

Now that he can see it, Yan Hai looks down on Qiao Hai a little, and he doesn't know what the reason is, and then look at Han Xue on the other side, Wang Weiye understands a little, he just wanted to say something, but Chen Mulin spoke first: "It's good to be roughly the king of garbage time, if a player can't even rule garbage time, how can he rule the game in regular time?" ”

Chen Mulin's words immediately fell silent.

I have to say, it makes sense.

Obviously, the current garbage time is only barely dominant, is it really possible to play regular-time games and face high-intensity confrontations in the NBA? Even if you can afford it, it is generally difficult to play well, and once the performance is bad, it is a very big blow to the confidence of a professional player.

Therefore, Qiao Hai's general use, Chen Mulin understands, Wang Weiye didn't think much about it at first, and now he understands.

More than a quarter of garbage time, roughly played a cool, January, in addition to the two games coached by Byron Scott, Qiao Hai's four games, each of which was a big win, roughly got too much playing time, now, garbage time plays, roughly better and better, the data is gradually brushing up.

currently averaging 6 points and 3 rebounds per game, which can be regarded as a qualified bench.

After playing the game against the Suns, the Grizzlies won by 26 points and won four in a row.

The Grizzlies were indeed in hot form in January, winning each of the four games by a large margin.

After watching this game, Wang Weiye and the others found Qiao Hai and chatted a few words.

Before leaving, Wang Weiye said: "The sea, Vancouver has almost turned in the past two days, and we are going to go to Vancouver to play around in the next few days, so let's call if we have something." ”

Qiao Hai smiled and nodded: "Okay." ”

Seeing off Wang Weiye and his party, Qiao Hai continued to lead the team at home.

On January 14, the Grizzlies played the Cavaliers at home.

The Cavaliers are a weak team in the East, with a current record of only 15 wins and 20 losses, their star is Shaun Kemp, the peak Sean Kemp is of course a big killer, but now Shaun Kemp, who is now in the Cavaliers, is already a semi-fallen Sean Kemp, averaging 17.8 points and 8.8 rebounds per game this season, with a shooting rate of only 41.7%, Obviously, the Rain Man at this time is no longer the Rain Man of the year.

Joe Hai used Sean Marion to defend Sean Kemp, and with a burst of onslaught, it was easy, and he led by 20 points at halftime.

With a 27-point win in the final game, the Grizzlies are on a five-game winning streak.

Their state is simply terrifying, winning five games in a row, each of which is a halftime or three quarter lead of more than 20 points, such a state, the league is the only one!

And the strength of the opponent is not bad, the Raptors and the Suns are both playoff-level strong teams, and the Magic is also on the verge of the playoffs, and the team that may rush into the playoffs at any time, although the Celtics and Cavaliers have poor records, they are also better teams in the lotto.

With five wins in a row, the Grizzlies' form is too remarkable.

Sports Illustrated specially wrote an article to analyze the state of the Grizzlies in the last five games, each of which was a halftime or three quarter lead of more than 20 points, the Grizzlies' defense and offense are among the top in the league, such a state, the Grizzlies no longer seem to be dark horses, but a bit of a championship favorite.

You know, even the Lakers, who are getting better and better at the moment, can't do the Grizzlies to abuse their opponents by more than 20 points per game, and this state is simply explosive.

Sports Illustrated analyzed it for a while, and their leading expert reporter Sam Amick concluded: "The Grizzlies play better without Raheem, they can pick up the speed at will, and Sean Marion's play at the No. 4 position also makes their defense better, which is why the Grizzlies have won wildly recently." ”

I have to say that Sam Amick's analysis has some truth.

In the last five games, Sean Marion has played in the fourth position, and the second position can go up to Ragabel or Billups, and the defense is indeed much better than before.

But the offense was more than a little bit worse.

That is, in the last five games, the Grizzlies have not encountered a strong defensive team, and if they meet a strong defensive team like the Spurs, the Grizzlies' bubble of strong offense and defense will be punctured immediately.

After all, without Raheem, the Grizzlies' Princeton offense is missing an extremely important low-post offensive link.

Therefore, for the analysis of Sports Illustrated, Qiao Hai can only sneer.

The Grizzlies have won wildly in a row, the real reason is that Qiao Hai is becoming more and more familiar with this team, and he is also handy in command, plus Maddie's total rating has reached the peak of 96 points, with Maddie's strong point, the Grizzlies' offense can always be opened, as long as the offense is open, winning is naturally very simple.
