ESPN - "Three kills of the Lakers in the season, Qiao Hai successfully got revenge!" ”

Sports Illustrated - "Crazy loss of 27 points, the defending champion was brutally beaten!" ”

Yahoo Sports - "Qiao Hai's perfect revenge, whose fault is his departure?" ”

Hoop Sports – "Three losses to the Grizzlies, the Lakers' road to defending their title is overshadowed. ”

In Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Times reported on the game with the headline "It's no longer a question who is better than Phil Jackson or Joe Hai."

And there was no local turmoil in Vancouver, and the Vancouver Business Daily report only mentioned one sentence: "The Grizzlies beat the defending champion Lakers by a big score." ”

Although the report is simple, Vancouver is full of jubilation.

The Grizzlies beat the defending champions to win by a full 27 points, extending their winning streak to their 19th game, leading the league overall and 1.5 wins away from second-place Lakers.

These all show that the Grizzlies are strong now, although Qiao Hai never admits it, but the fact is that the Grizzlies are already on the road to competing for the championship......

……

The Grizzlies took a break in Los Angeles before flying to Portland on March 2.

After the 27-point victory over the Lakers, the post-game dispute seems to have nothing to do with the Grizzlies, even if the media wants to interview the Grizzlies' players or coaches, they must be approved by Qiao Hai, so between the two games, there are very few players interviewed by the media, only Maddie was interviewed by ESPN, and Raheem was interviewed by Hoop Sports.

Among them, the press release of Rahim's interview with Hoop Sports has not yet been released, and Qiao Hai has seen it.

In the interview, Rahim commented on Qiao Hai: "Although he is very young, 24 years old and almost 25 years old, carefully calculated to be only a month older than me, but he is very mature and sophisticated, once the game or training starts, everyone will forget his age, treat him as a teacher, whatever he says is what he says, if he gets angry, we will also tremble, but fortunately, we play well, therefore, Joe rarely gets angry." ”

20 consecutive wins were imminent, but Stu Jackson called Qiao Hai and asked Qiao Hai about his willingness to renew his contract.

During the finals last season, Qiao Hai signed with the Grizzlies, only signed for two years, and now a year is about to pass, Qiao Hai's leadership performance surprised everyone, 47 wins and 10 losses, ranking first in the league, and locking a playoff spot in advance.

The promises made by Qiao Hai when he signed the contract were all fulfilled.

In this case, the Grizzlies were naturally anxious, they didn't want to be a second Laker, and at the request of team owner John McCaw, Stu Jackson made the call.

For the renewal of the contract, Qiao Hai naturally has no reason to refuse.

His career in Vancouver is gradually reaching its peak, the Grizzlies will be one of the strongest teams in the next few years, every year the Grizzlies have a chance to compete for the championship, this is a good opportunity for Qiao Hai to brush up on honors, Phil Jackson in the Bulls with the basketball god Michael Jordan brushed a Bulls dynasty, Cardinal Auerbach relied on the Celtics All-Star team to brush 9 championships and the Celtics dynasty.

Qiao Hai believes that as long as he is given time, he can also farm a dynasty in the Grizzlies.

So, no matter what, staying with the Grizzlies is his first choice.

And renewing the contract means a raise, and you can make more money, so why not?

On the phone, Qiao Hai agreed to renew the contract, but he had to hand over the renewal to David Falck, so he hung up the phone and Qiao Hai called David Falck again.

"David, how's it going, have you been busy lately?"

"Ah, Joe? Why did you call me all of a sudden? What a surprise! David Falke exclaimed, on the other side of the phone, Qiao Hai smiled, thinking about it, it is true that he has very little contact with David Falke, and he will not call if he is fine.

But on second thought, it's okay for him to call a man, what did it become!

Therefore, Qiao Hai felt that it was right for him not to contact David Falke when he was usually fine.

David Falke laughed, and Qiao Hai directly told David Falke the reason for his call: "David, Stu Jackson contacted me, and they wanted to renew my contract. “

"Renewal? That's a good thing! ”

Obviously, David Falke and Qiao Hai have the same thoughts, and they both feel that the contract renewal is a good thing.

"Well, so I agreed, and then, the specific negotiations will be handed over to you, my request is very simple, a salary increase!"

David Falke snapped his fingers: "No problem, Joe, wait, this time the contract is renewed, I will help you get a mansion back!" ”

Qiao Hai smiled: "Then I'll wait." ”

David Falck's words reminded Qiao Hai that it had been almost two years since he was reborn, and Qiao Hai felt that he was a failure, with no car, no house, and no girlfriend.

I have the money, but I have invested it in seawater investment and Hoop Sports, and I can't get a cent.

Qiao Hai only had $30,000 or 40,000 in cash left, and it was enough to buy a car, but he could only buy a slightly better car, and he couldn't afford a sports car.

If you can't even afford to drive a sports car, it's too much of a failure.

Qiao Hai felt that maybe he should work harder to make money, in addition, he will not increase the capital of the dividends of seawater investment this year, take it out and spend it, he wants to buy a house, he wants to buy a car!

David Falke didn't hang up the phone, it was rare for Qiao Hai to call him, he naturally wanted to chat for a while, chatting and chatting, and the topic turned to basketball.

"Joe, March Madness has begun, do you have any attention?"

March Madness? Qiao Hai shook his head: "No." ”

But on second thought, even if he didn't pay attention, he knew something about March Madness in 2000, which was supposed to be won by the University of Michigan in 2000, and the core player of the team was Jason Richardson.

So, after thinking about it, he added: "Because I've been too busy lately, I've been paying attention to the NCAA before." ”

"Great, I'm worried, recently the NCAA little geniuses have started to sign agents, you have a good eye, help me pick a few good players, how about it?"

David Falck spoke his mind.

Qiao Hai thought about it for a moment and agreed.

He felt that it was not impossible to help David Falke sign a few future star players, and if he did, he might be able to help him in the future.

After thinking about it, the 2000 draft, this year's draft was a very small year, and the champion was Kenyon Martin, a senior, and finally became the champion, which is also rare.

At his peak, Kenyon Martin still deserves a first-round pick, but Qiao Hai doesn't think Kenyon Martin is the strongest one in the 2000 draft.

So, after thinking about it for a while, Qiao Hai gave a name: "You can try Michael Reed." ”

"Michael Reid? Michael Reid of Ohio? His draft ranking prediction is not until the second round. ”

"Yes, try it, I'm quite optimistic about him, a good shooter, he reminds me of Ray Allen."

Qiao Hai's evaluation is not low, in fact, if it weren't for the damn injury, Michael Reed's achievements might not even be smaller than Ray Allen, if Qiao Hai was asked to rearrange the draft pick in the 2000 draft, ignoring the injury, Michael Reed would be a well-deserved champion.

On the other end of the phone, David Falke nodded: "Okay, he shouldn't have anyone to rob, I'll let people try." ”

Then, Qiao Hai gave a few more names.

Jamal Crawford, in terms of durability, Jamal Crawford is the strongest rookie in the class of 2000, until 2018, when Qiao Hai crossed, he was still active in the NBA, playing the main bench of the Timberwolves, the best sixth man in his career three times, and also Jamal Crawford's hard honor, at the same time, he is also the player with the most successful 4 points in NBA history.

There is also Sidotkoglou, Qiao Hai has some ideas about this Turk, Tekoglu can play the four and three positions, Qiao Hai's idea is to select Tekoglu and let the Turk act as a substitute for the Grizzlies in the fourth position.

The pinnacle of Turkoglu is in the Magic, and the world says that Howard led the team to the Finals single-handedly, but in fact, they all ignored Turkoglou's contribution.

But for the name, David Falck said: "Turk Tekoglu? He already had an agent. ”

Turkoglu played professional basketball in Europe, so naturally he had an agent for a long time, and David Falke didn't even have to ask for verification of this.

In the end, Johi gave another name: "McMiller." ”

In Qiao Hai's view, the only drafts worth signing in the 2000 draft are Michael Reed, Kenyon Martin, Jamal Crawford, Hidotkoglou and McMiller.
