Chapter 339: Borrowing (Second Update)

At the post-match press conference, a large number of reporters have gathered here.

Maddie's comeback, the magical lore, this group of reporters has too many questions to ask Qiao Hai.

When Qiao Hai showed up with Maddie, there was an obvious commotion at the scene, and the sound of clicking photos was endless, and all the reporters sat in their seats, waiting for the start of the post-match press conference.

Qiao Hai sat down in the center, and then motioned to the press officer: It's time to start.

The first to ask questions was a reporter from the Vancouver Business Daily, a prerogative of the local media.

"Mr. Qiao Hai, you won the bitter Spurs with difficulty, do you have anything special to say?"

Qiao Hai frowned: "There's nothing to say, this victory is indeed very difficult, but the Spurs are not our bitter master." ”

The reason why Qiao Hai frowned was that this question made Qiao Hai not think that this reporter from the Vancouver Business Daily was his own person.

But he didn't pay much attention to it, and motioned for the next questioner to ask a question.

The second question was asked by a reporter from Hoop Sports, which was stipulated by Qiao Hai, and no one knew why Hoop Sports' reporters would have such a privilege.

"Mr. Qiao Hai, for the last lore tactic, almost everyone shouted magic, I want to know how you came up with that lore tactic at such a critical moment?"

The second problem is related to the lore, and sure enough, there are only two headlines in this game, one is that the Grizzlies win, and the other is the magical lore.

"It's very simple, at the end of the day, we were four points behind, so we had two options, one was to make three free throws, then foul the first time, and then the last three points to tie the score into overtime, which is the usual plan, everyone knows it, and the Spurs are no exception, so I decided to take it by surprise."

"Then, you'll see our lore tactics."

"But smashing the frame and grabbing rebounds is too risky, haven't you hesitated?" A reporter followed suit.

Qiao Hai shook his head: "Smash the frame and grab the rebound, we can kill the game directly, so, there is nothing to hesitate, we want to end this game directly!" ”

Then, Qiao Hai answered a few more questions about Maddie's comeback.

In this game, Maddie's state was average, he found a little bit of touch in the second half, and finally scored a killer goal, overall, Maddie shot 10 of 24, got 26 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 5 turnovers, the shooting rate was just over 4 percent, and there were 5 turnovers.

For Maddie, the game got off to a good start.

……

……

After this big game, the Grizzlies had another day off, and then a new big game was ushered in, and the opponent was the Rockets.

The Rockets traded Steve Francis from the Raptors, but his record did not rise but fell, but he stayed away from the playoffs, but in this game, Steve Francis broke out directly.

On the Grizzlies' side, Maddie made a pit, shooting 2-of-13 and shooting as low as 15%.

The Grizzlies also lost the game as a result.

Although he lost, Qiao Hai did not blame Maddie for his poor performance.

Because on the one hand, the Grizzlies are in average condition in this game, otherwise even if there is a Maddie pit, there are thousands of Manuginobili, Mike Bibi and Billups who stand up.

But this time, Manuginobili, Mike Bibi and Billups failed to step up.

So, everyone is to blame for this loss, including Qiao Hai.

On the other hand, Maddie has just made a comeback, and it is normal for her form to fluctuate, and all Qiao Hai has to do is to be patient and wait for Maddie to fully return to form.

After losing this game, the Grizzlies will naturally refuse to lose streak in the next game.

This season, Qiao Hai's goal is to not lose in a row, and a team that has not lost in a whole season will be a super team of historical level.

After playing the Rockets, the Grizzlies faced the Suns, and this game was an away game.

Facing the Suns brought by Jason Kidd, the Grizzlies finally defeated their opponents 101-92 to win the victory, successfully rejecting the losing streak.

In this game, Maddie didn't have a pit, 8 of 18 shots, 21 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, although there was no pit, but this data still shows that Maddy's state can still only be regarded as average.

Maddie still hasn't recovered to his peak.

After playing the Suns, the Grizzlies turned around and returned to Vancouver.

The next game is against the Nets, and in this game, Byron Scott will return to Vancouver and return to the General Motors arena.

After officially taking over the Nets on January 20, Byron Scott realized how difficult it is to coach a team alone.

In the first game on January 20, Byron Scott led the team to win against the Bulls and got off to a good start, but there was nothing to brag about because the Bulls were too weak.

On Jan. 23, the Nets lost to the Kings 104-130, and on Jan. 24, the Nets lost back-to-back to the Warriors.

Lost to the Lakers on January 26 and the SuperSonics on January 27.

In addition to the victory in the first game, Byron Scott led the team to a four-game losing streak, and after the change of coach, the Nets still seem to be improving......

Byron Scott was questioned, but fortunately, because the pit dug by his predecessor was too big, the team management did not make any demands on Byron Scott, so Byron Scott's position was still solid.

Before the game began, the GM arena was full again, and it seemed that Maddie's comeback had the effect of stimulating the ball market.

Byron Scott, who had spent more than a year in Vancouver and was familiar with the GM arena, pushed the door out of the visiting dressing room and slipped into a somewhat remote passageway.

After walking for a while, I walked to a door.

Tuk Tuk ......

He knocked on the door.

……

Inside the door, Rahim, who was sitting next to the door, was stunned for a moment, as the old man of the team, he knew very well that it was the back door of the home team's locker room, who would knock on this door?

Raheem glanced at Qiao Hai, who nodded.

Raheem opened the door hesitantly.

As soon as the door opened, a head popped out of the door, and it was Byron Scott.

He beckoned to Qiao Hai, and Qiao Hai walked out helplessly.

"Didn't the reporter find out?" When he went out against the wall, Qiao Hai's first sentence was this.

Byron Scott shook his head: "Don't worry, no." ”

"There is no best, if the reporter finds out, tomorrow's headline will be the two of us, think about it, the headline reads - Byron Scott took the back door by taking the path, what do you want?"

Byron Scott rolled his eyes helplessly: "Seriously, Joe, I have a business looking for you." ”

"Well, I know, you won't look for me if you don't have anything to do."

choked again, Byron Scott was helpless, and didn't answer Qiao Hai's words, and directly opened the topic: "Last time you said that Stephen Marbury was a cancer, I didn't believe it at the time, how can a point guard who averages 24+8 per game be a cancer?" Now I believe it. ”

"So what?"

'I've lost four games, I didn't have any hope of winning each game, and now I look at it, maybe I'm going to lose a fifth, and I don't want to lose again.'

"You want me to release the water?"

Joe Hai choked Byron Scott again.

Byron Scott rolled his eyes again and continued: "It's okay to lose five in a row, I didn't let you go, but what I want to ask is, why do you think Stephen Marbury can be traded for Jason Kidd so much?" Also, Is Jason Kidd really a good fit for the Nets? ”

"First of all, Stephen Marbury can be exchanged for Jason Kidd, because the Suns' record has not been up or down in recent years, and I believe that the Suns management is also tired of this kind of bad record, and they want to break through, so now, they have deliberately sent Jason Kidd away."

"If it's Stephen Marbury for Jason Kidd, you can even ask the Suns to go the extra mile, because obviously, statistically, Stephen Marbury is better."

"Also, Jason Kidd is definitely a good fit for the Nets, remember the Grizzlies' tactics? You can use Jason Kidd as the distribution point of the ball and the core of the offense, the tactic of evenly scoring the ball, I know the lineup of the Nets very well, there are still a lot of scoring points, Kenyon Martin, Keith Van Horn, Aaron Williams, Lucios Harris, Kendall Gill...... There was also an injured Krykitels. ”

"And one thing is for sure, Jason Kidd is not a cancer, because he can take the Suns into the playoffs, and you should know how competitive it has been in the West in the past two years."

Byron Scott nodded, and Qiao Hai was able to convince him.

Qiao Hai nodded Byron Sko's head, raised his hand and glanced at his watch: "Time is running out, I have to go in, and I haven't done anything about the pre-game arrangements." ”

As soon as Qiao Hai was about to leave, Byron Scott grabbed him: "Don't, wait a minute, there is one more thing." ”

"What's the matter? Let's talk about the game when it's over, right? I'll treat you to dinner, along with the Grizzlies' other coaches. ”

Byron Scott thought for a moment and nodded.

……

The game started quickly, and as Byron Scott said, this Nets team is no match for the Grizzlies, and Stephen Marbury is a cancer, and his first choice when he gets the ball is an individual offense, not a pass.

That's the gap between him and Jason Kidd.

In this game, Maddie was in a bad state again, and the opening was 3 shots and 0 shots, Qiao Hai gave Maddie enough playing time, and Maddie failed to adjust his state.

However, the Grizzlies still relied on the power of the bench to lock up an 11-point lead at halftime.

They held the lead in the second half and eventually won the game 107-91, taking a two-game winning streak after losing to the Rockets.

……

At the post-game dinner, Byron Scott went to the banquet alone, and on the Grizzlies' side, the entire coaching staff went, but it was Qiao Hai who was treated.

Byron Scott also said another thing he was looking for Joe, borrowing someone!

"Joe, I want to play a block cut on the Nets, but the Nets don't have a suitable coach and I can't do it alone, so I want to ask you to borrow Lawrence Frank."

Qiao Hai turned his head to look at Lawrence Frank, who also nodded.

Qiao Hai knew that the two of them had said it.

In that case, there is no need for him to be stingy: "Okay, no problem. ”

"Thanks, Joe!" This time, Byron Scott sincerely said thank you.

After dinner, Byron Scott rushed to settle the bill, but was stopped by Qiao Hai: "Okay, I'll treat you, next time we go to New Jersey, it's you and Lawrence who have a treat." ”

Byron Scott smiled at this time: "Okay, no problem! ”
