Chapter 178: Heavy Buckle

On 0/7/999, the Staples Center was officially opened.

Historically, the three-time championship dynasty of the K group also set sail from this new arena, but now history has changed, and Qiao Hai led the Lakers to win the last championship trophy at the Great Western Forum Arena.

In the new season, the Lakers moved to the Staples Center, the new arena has a new atmosphere, and no one knows if the Lakers can defend the title and win the first championship after moving to the Staples Center, including Qiao Hai.

However, it is undeniable that the strength of the Lakers is very strong, and the strength on paper is the best in the league, and it is really impossible to defend the title.

Qiao Hai will not think about things that far, what is in front of them is this regular season, and they are going to fight the Lakers to the death.

Staples' new locker room, Joe looked around.

Everything is new, new locker rooms, new seats, new cabinets, even new floors, new coaches......

……

Qiao Hai announced the starting lineup for this game in the locker room.

'We need to change our starting lineup for this game.' The starting line-up is about to change again, and several players in the main rotation look up and are very concerned.

Of course, there are also indifferent, such as Maddie, he knows that his starting position is very solid, when Qiao Hai first poached him, he promised the starting position, promised the tactical position, and now Qiao Hai has obviously fulfilled his promise, and now Maddie's most recognized coach is Qiao Hai.

Discerning the pearl, poached him from the Raptors, and gave the main position to add the ball, Maddie broke out, he was very satisfied with his performance since February, therefore, he was also very convinced of Qiao Hai, he knew that without Qiao Hai, there would be no current Tracy McGrady, the Tracy McGrady who almost tore the Spurs apart by himself.

"Starting point guard Mike Bibby, shooting guard Ragabel."

Scoring guard Ragabel, there were two players in the locker room stunned, one was Maddie, he was a little surprised, the starting point guard was not him? So is he still a starter?

The other is naturally Ragabel, Ragabel never thought about starting, he was just a rookie who was drafted, sat on the bench in every game with the Grizzlies, and then played for more than ten or twenty minutes, he was very satisfied, every time he played, Ragabel worked hard, because he knew that if he didn't fight, he didn't even have ten or twenty minutes of playing time.

Qiao Hai read his name from the starting list, and Ragabel was really startled, and his face was full of astonishment.

Qiao Hai ignored it and continued: "Small forward Tracy. ”

Maddie also breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what, his starting position was still there, but this time, it was replaced by Sean Marion with a bitter face, he finally snatched the starting position from Sammark, why did he lose it again?

Qiao Hai didn't explain either, and continued to announce: "Big forward Sherif and center Brad Miller. ”

After announcing the starting list, Qiao Hai looked around the locker room again, and everyone fell silent.

"In this game, our opponent is the Lakers, against the Lakers, we only want to win and not lose, tactically, we have to make some adjustments, on the offensive end, Tracy, you and Brad's blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation increases, and more through blocking and pick-and-roll to score, in addition, we cancel the Princeton offensive acceleration experiment, we play the slow-paced Princeton offense, everything is aimed at winning!"

"Defensively, we don't play strong side stacking, man-to-man, Raga."

Johi called out Ragabel, and now, Ragabel knew that his starters were on a mission.

"Your mission is to lock up Kobe Bryant and prevent him from killing, can you do it?"

Ragabel nodded heavily: "No problem, boss!" ”

Qiao Hai turned to Brad Miller again: "Brad, you want to face Shaquille O'Neal, is there any pressure?" ”

Brad Miller shook his head: "No pressure, boss." ”

"That's good, man-to-man defense, we have to lock up Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal in the opening game, defend the opponent's shots, grab the rebounds, as long as there is a chance to counterattack quickly, we must seize the ......"

After some arrangement, Qiao Hai didn't say anything, and directly let the players play.

On the sidelines of the Staples Center arena, Qiao Hai stood alone, and he quietly opened the system to take a look.

"System Mission, Special Mission: Return to the Roots!"

"Returning to their hometown, the host returns to his old club, and defeats his old club in front of the fans who once supported him, and the mission is success."

"Success Reward: Dynasty Points, 20 Victory Points."

It's another special task, there is a little dynasty point in the task reward, Qiao Hai clenched his fists: You must win!

On the other side, the Lakers also played, and Phil Jackson stood on the sidelines for a while.

Starting on both sides, Qiao Hai glanced at the Lakers' starters, compared with the beginning of the season, the Lakers' starters have undergone some changes, and now they are basically fixed.

Point guard Ron Harper, shooting guard Bryant, small forward Scott Pippen, power forward Robert Horry, and center Shaquille O'Neal.

This set of starters is a combination of old, middle and young, but overall, Qiao Hai still sees that Phil Jackson likes to use his own weaknesses, Ron Harper snatched the starting position as soon as he came, he played badly with the Bulls last season, and transferred to the Lakers, a championship team, can still play as a starter, if it is not Phil Jackson's reason, obviously no one believes it.

The race was about to begin, with Shaquille O'Neal and Brad Miller on the center circle.

Brad Miller raised his eyebrows provocatively, and O'Neill, the big fat man, reacted directly, shaking his head with a smile, as if responding to Brad Miller's provocation.

The referee blew the whistle and threw the basketball into the air, Brad Miller and O'Neal jumped up at the same time, and the two squeezed in the air, Brad Miller was pressed down by O'Neal, so he also lost the opening ball.

The Lakers got the ball and opened the game.

Bryant received the ball on the left side and singled, and Ragabel defended alone, without a pinch.

Seeing this, Kobe Bryant broke through directly, made a mid-range emergency stop jump shot, and shot backwards, bang, and didn't go in.

O'Neal and Brad Miller competed for the rebound, and the two seemed to be in a fight.

The Lakers were not in a hurry to retreat because of this, watching O'Neal and Brad Miller grab the board, but Maddie suddenly jumped out, stretched out his long arms, and grabbed the rebound directly.

"Attack!"

"Fight back!"

Two shouts, the Grizzlies instantly fired several arrows, Mike Bibby, Maddy and Ragabel turned their heads and rushed to the frontcourt, the Lakers were still slowly returning to defense, and there were even players waiting for O'Neal to compete for the result of the rebound.

As soon as the grizzlies accelerated like this, they didn't react in a hurry.

Maddie single-handedly rushed to the front of the pitch and Scott Pippen couldn't keep up.

Kobe Bryant wanted to rush over to make up for the defense, but Ragabel involved his energy, and Kobe could only watch Maddie take two steps and jump up on the inner circle of the free throw line!

The Grizzlies' bench players are all on their feet!

Bang!

Heavy buckle!

On the grizzly bear bench, countless people waved towels and jumped!
