At the end of the game, the score was 120-101, and the Grizzlies easily defeated the Lakers by 19 points to win the first victory in the Western Conference Finals.

As a result, the overall score of the series became 1:0.

The focus of the battle, the post-game of this game is naturally the focus.

The Grizzlies won as they wished, and Qiao Hai enjoyed the cheers of the GM Arena after the game, and in the midst of this cheering, Qiao Hai stood in front of the technical table and shook hands with Phil Jackson.

The loss in this game made Phil Jackson's face extremely ugly, and looking at this stinky face, Qiao Hai chuckled.

Hearing Qiao Hai's laughter, Phil Jackson became angry, ignoring the shooting of several cameras in front of him, directly shook off Qiao Hai's hand, and left without looking back.

Qiao Hai looked at Phil Jackson in the distance and shrugged his shoulders, he knew that after the game, a bloody storm was waiting for the Grizzlies.

……

'yes, that's right, we lost, and we lost by 19 points, and I know a lot of people have those words on their lips and are ready to give them to me and my team, but I would say that we only lost because of our poor form.

In the face of countless reporters, Phil Jackson did not let any reporters ask questions, but instead held the microphone himself and said a long paragraph, and when it came to the back, his expression was still a little angry.

"The reason for the poor form is also very simple! We were hurt by our opponent's shameless off-court moves! ”

Then, Phil Jackson began to complain bitterly about the damage that the Grizzlies' off-the-shelf moves did to the Lakers.

"From noon, there was a huge crowd of Vancouver fans singing outside our hotel, along with the tweeters, and our break was completely drained......"

"We were stopped outside the stadium for more than half an hour before the evening game, and such small off-court actions directly affected our form, so we protested against this and hoped that the league would deal with the ......"

In front of the angry Phil Jackson was a group of excited reporters.

"Sure enough, the Grizzlies vs. Lakers game is a lot of topics!" A reporter from Sports Illustrated said excitedly, his voice was a little louder, and the ESPN reporter on the side immediately warned him with his eyes.

Because Phil Jackson on stage is still talking.

……

On the other side, Qiao Hai was also giving a post-game interview.

A reporter from the Los Angeles Times questioned with a cold face: "Coach Qiao Hai, please explain why there is a large crowd gathering outside the Lakers' hotel and using noise to interfere with the Lakers' preparations?" ”

Qiao Hai was surprised: "There is a large crowd gathering outside the Lakers Hotel? I don't know? ”

The Los Angeles Times reporter rolled his eyes, and he thought Qiao Hai's acting skills were awesome.

Soon, another reporter from ESPN took out a few photos, Qiao Hai glanced at them, immediately pointed to the crowd in the photos, and said with certainty: "They are neither wearing grizzly jerseys nor any grizzly bear logos, obviously they have nothing to do with us." ”

Then, the Grizzly Bear press officer interjected: "According to the official Grizzly Bear investigation, this group of people is conducting a political parade and rally, which has nothing to do with us, and the Grizzly Bear official has no right to interfere with their parade and rally." ”

Qiao Hai spread his hands, now, the so-called off-the-plate tricks are unwarranted.

However, the reporter of the Los Angeles Times did not give up and raised another point: "Then why was the Lakers bus stopped outside the arena by security guards for more than half an hour?" ”

This time, Qiao Hai continued to spread his hands: "This has nothing to do with us either, the GM Arena does not belong to the Grizzlies, it belongs to the Vancouver City Government, and its security guards are naturally appointed by the Vancouver City Government, and what they do has nothing to do with the Grizzlies." ”

Qiao Hai once again found a reason to clear up the relationship between the pre-game off-market move and the Grizzlies.

It has to be said that both reasons are reasonable, and the reporters of the Los Angeles Times are already speechless.

……

At the scene of the Lakers' post-game press conference, Phil Jackson was still slamming the Grizzlies hoarsely, what he didn't know was that Qiao Hai on the other side had perfectly dissociated the relationship.

His hoarse lashing was destined to lead to nothing.

And on the second day of the race, things went further.

"Vancouver's dirty off-the-counter move helped the Grizzlies win the game, and it was an inglorious victory!"

After the Los Angeles Times gave a reasonable explanation on the Grizzlies' side, it still desperately attacked the Grizzlies' off-market moves.

So much so that Vancouver had to fight back, with a report from the Vancouver Daily Mail - "You can't win without an off-the-market call!" ”

The media war on both sides was raging, and on top of that, there was once again a large crowd outside the Lakers' hotel in Vancouver.

When Cortlambis called the police, the reply was still: "Legal assembly, the police have no right to interfere!" ”

So, in desperation, Phil Jackson chose to move out of the hotel next to Stanley Park and move to a hotel on the other side of Vancouver Bay, in Kitsilano.

The biggest difference between the two hotels is that one is located next to a forest park and has a quiet environment, while the new hotel is located in downtown Vancouver, and this time, the Lakers will not be quiet even if the Vancouver crowd does not follow.

……

In the Grizzlies training gym, next to Qiao Hai stood Stu Jackson.

Billy asked, would you like to let them come along?

When Billy Knight came up with the idea of harassing the Lakers with a rally crowd, team owner Michael Haesley expressed his support, and although Qiao Hai felt that this off-the-market move did not have much effect, he did not speak out against it.

In this way, Billy Knight conquered the team owner with a successful off-the-market move.

Billy Knight was hesitant to let the rally crowd follow him to the Lakers' new hotel, because he also knew that there were some things that would not be good if he went too far.

So he went and asked Stu Jackson.

Stu Jackson naturally focused on Qiao Hai, and in the end, Qiao Hai's reply was - he shook his head: "No need, let's end here." ”

……

Qiao Hai meant that all the off-market moves were over, but what he didn't expect was that Billy Knight came up with a new off-board move, and only asked the opinion of the team owner Michael Haesley, and after getting the agreement, he implemented it directly.

In the second game between the Grizzlies and the Lakers, the Grizzlies drove from Pacific Arena to GM Arena, and the Lakers drove from Kitsilano to GM Arena.

The Grizzlies are located in the northeast of the General Motors arena, and the Lakers are located in the southwest, and the two teams are on different paths.

As a result, there was a strange phenomenon in Vancouver's traffic on this day, the grizzly bears along the way to downtown Vancouver and Chinatown, which used to be the most prosperous area of traffic, but today's traffic is smooth.

On the other hand, on the Lakers' side, Kitsilanu is considered a residential area in Vancouver, and the traffic is generally smooth, but the traffic jam on this day is not good.

One road goes directly from the previous red-light intersection to the next red-light intersection.

Unlike the previous game, this time, the Lakers set off just over 2 hours before the start of the game, and it is clear that they learned the lessons of the previous game.

They didn't care about the traffic jams along the way, and the traffic jams in big cities were also a matter of course.

During the traffic jam, Phil Jackson even played cards with the coaches.

But when the buses were stuck in the same spot for more than half an hour, Phil Jackson realized something was wrong, because there was more than an hour left before the start of the game......

He threw the cards in his hand, stood up, and frowned: "Don't play." ”

Then he called out to Cortlambis: "Kurt, go and ask what is going on." ”

Cortlambis nodded, got off the bus, took a few steps forward, grabbed a car owner and asked, "Hey, buddy, do you know what's going on?" ”

"Who knows?" It was a black dude who was driving, and he shrugged his shoulders and couldn't give an answer.

Cortlambis had no choice but to move on.

After walking for about a kilometer, Cortlambis had already found the cause of the traffic jam.

There were two cars in the middle of the road, a Ford stopped straight in the middle of the road, and the other Chevrolet looked like it wanted to overtake, but it crashed into it and crossed the middle of the road, the traffic police were dealing with it, and the two owners were arguing.

After finding out the reason, Cortlanbis immediately walked back, returned to the bus, and reported the specific situation to Phil Jackson.

"There was a car accident in front, and the traffic police are still dealing with ......"

Hearing this, Phil Jackson's face stinked again, and he smelled something unusual.

……

After waiting for about another half hour, less than an hour before the start of the game, Phil Jackson was in a hurry and called Cortlambis.

"Call the coalition and let them know what's going on here."

There's no way not to inform it, if it continues like this, the Lakers won't even be able to catch up with the game, so if you tell us in advance, you can also apply for a postponement of the game.

But just as Cotlambis was about to make a phone call, the car in front of him suddenly started moving......

……

"Hey, brother, the call from above is coming, saying it's almost time."

Chevrolet found Ford, and then the owner of the Ford came with a weird smile and said, "Okay, let's go." ”

The Chevrolet reversed directly, the Ford drove away directly, and as soon as the car in front moved, the traffic was immediately diverted, and all the cars flowed.

Fifteen minutes later, half an hour before the start of the game, the Lakers rushed to the General Motors arena.

Phil Jackson was stopped by a reporter at the door of the arena, and this time, Phil Jackson was no longer silent, and sprayed directly at the camera: "This group of dog-mother-raised guys!" Do whatever it takes to win the game! I hope the league will investigate the Grizzlies, and they are definitely problematic in this series! ”

As a result, the reporters were very excited.

But on the other side, Qiao Hai was furious.

"Didn't I say, let you stop! Don't you know? Don't know? ”

In front of the angry Joe Hai stood Stu Jackson and Billy Knight, and an old man with gray hair, who was the team's owner, Michael Haighley.

Joe's anger surprised Billy Knight.

Michael Hasley said tepidly: "Isn't it just some off-the-market moves?" Joe, these off-the-board moves are obviously good for the team, do you need to be so angry? ”

Qiao Hai glanced at Michael Haasley, this is the boss, he didn't want to be so aggressive, but there were some things that had to be said: "Of course it is necessary, Mr. Haasley." ”

"We can use these off-the-board moves against the Lakers, and the Lakers can deal with us in turn, think about it, we're going to Los Angeles for the next two games, and if the Los Angeles do the same, what will be the consequences?"

"But didn't you agree to the off-market offer before the first game?" Billy Knight couldn't help but ask.

Qiao Hai glanced at Billy Knight: "Yes, I agreed, this kind of off-the-market trick is okay once, those Lakers executives who claim to be the purple and gold nobles will not follow suit, because they want face, but you come again, this is too much, for revenge, they will definitely follow suit." ”

Billy Knight frowned, but Qiao Hai continued, and gave a solution: "Now, go and change the hotel immediately, and put the hotel where we are staying next to the Staples Center, maybe there is still time, otherwise, you will wait for the next two away games and see the Grizzlies who will only be there 10 minutes before the start of the game......"

After saying this, Qiao Hai raised his hand and glanced at his watch: "It's not early, I'll go to the locker room first." ”

……

After Qiao Hai left, Stu Jackson broke the silence: "Billy, go and change the hotel now, in addition, let people purchase a batch of high-quality earplugs, all the players must have." ”

Billy Knight nodded, but Michael Haasley, who was standing on the side, frowned, looking at Qiao Hai in the distance, and didn't know what he was thinking.

……

……

In the second home game of the Grizzlies, the Lakers' state was even worse, with Kobe Bryant hitting three irons in a row in the opening game, and O'Neal's strong inside play also missed two consecutive shots.

At the beginning, the Grizzlies beat the Lakers 10:0 and directly stopped the Lakers.

Qiao Hai had to admit that Billy Knight's off-the-board move was effective, because he arrived in the opening half an hour, the locker room changed the jersey, and the Lakers went straight out.

I didn't stop for a moment after I came out, and the game started immediately.

At the beginning of the game, whether it was Kobe Bryant or O'Neal, or the role players of the Lakers, the feeling must be cold.

After all, there is no warm-up, and it is understandable that the game is played like this.

The Grizzlies once again took the advantage from the start, this time by a bigger margin than the last, so it was a good game.

Qiao Hai deployed troops to maintain the team's lead.

Replaced by Ginobili in the second half of the first quarter, he and Maddie combined two shots, and the Grizzlies further widened the gap and extended their lead.

At halftime, the Grizzlies led by 22 points, and the game went even smoother than the previous one, and at halftime, the game was basically no suspense.

In the second half, the Grizzlies used a combination of the main force and the rotation lineup to maintain the lead very easily.

By the end of the game, the Grizzlies had a 25-point win at 122-97.

The game was easy, and the Grizzlies took the lead at the start, so much so that Billy Knight, who had been watching the game with Michael Haesley in the box, muttered, "Look, it's not my off-the-market trick that works......"

Stu Jackson shook his head: "Billy, you know, without these off-the-plate moves, we can win the Lakers, and it's not difficult." ”
