"Billy, I guess you have to give me an explanation!"

In Stu Jackson's dimly lit office, Qiao Hai sat on the sofa, and on the chair next to him, sat Billy Knight, and Stu Jackson was naturally sitting in his big-backed chair, three people, and the atmosphere was a little stiff.

Billy Knight didn't speak.

Stu Jackson was also a little annoyed: "Billy, I also want to know why you would arrange such an agenda. ”

"Because I think it's too troublesome to fly back and fly over, I can save a plane ticket by doing this."

Billy Knight gave a reason.

Qiao Hai shook his head: "You're too amateurish, Billy. ”

As soon as Qiao Hai said this, Billy Knight said sorry, indeed, no matter what you say, this matter seems to be an amateur than Billy Knight, go to Detroit for two days, and then play a game, and the Grizzlies have no preparation at all, because in Detroit, the Grizzlies can't conduct training sessions at all.

Seeing Billy Knight admit his mistake, Stu Jackson finally decided: "Well, the team's schedule is still in charge of Joe himself!" ”

Qiao Hai nodded: "That's it, I'll leave the schedule to Byron in charge, and the team's logistics department will do the docking work." ”

Eventually, Joe got up and left Stu Jackson's office.

Qiao Hai is satisfied with this result.

In fact, before settling accounts with Stu Jackson and Billy Knight, Qiao Hai knew that both Stu Jackson and Billy Knight must admit their mistakes, because this incident has seriously affected the team's preparations.

The most important thing for an NBA team is naturally its competition and games, and if even the competition and games are to be affected, the management will naturally have problems.

Eventually, Billy Knight relinquished the power of scheduling, and it can be said that the current Grizzlies management is left with the power to handle chores.

In the middle, Stu Jackson has no complaints, because he knows that Qiao Hai has done too well in transfers, trades, drafts, and these tasks, and he is not qualified to compete with Qiao Hai for these powers.

Whether Billy Knight is convinced, Qiao Hai doesn't know, after all, in the NBA, transfers, trades and drafts, and even the scheduling power this time, belong to the management, not to the coach, and the coach has the right to advise at most.

got the power of scheduling, which is also what Qiao Hai wants to see, John McCaw may have to sell the Grizzly Bear, before John McCaw sells the Grizzly Bear, Qiao Hai has to do naturally to catch some power in advance, so that even if the new boss arrives, it will not affect Qiao Hai's status.

……

The schedule was rescheduled, and the Grizzlies rested in Vancouver for one day, practiced the second day, and flew to Detroit on the third day to continue playing on the road.

On Nov. 22, two days later, the Grizzlies took on the Pistons on the road.

This season, the Pistons traded Grant Hill for Ben Wallace and Chaki Atkins, plus Jerry Starkerhouse, last season's No. 2 scorer, and Joe Smith was also signed by the Pistons after his contract with the Timberwolves.

On paper, the Pistons are still quite good, but Pistons coach George Irving has not been able to pinch this new lineup into shape.

Especially in terms of the lineup of the starting lineup, he values Ben Wallace's top defense and assistant defense, but he doesn't look down on Big Ben's height, so that Joe Smith can never start with Big Ben, Big Ben's position on the field has always been a big forward, and the starting center is Eric Montrose, who has no starting strength at all.

With such a starting lineup, it's okay to play an ordinary team.

When you run into a Grizzlies team with excellent outside offense, it becomes a dead word and I don't know how to write it.

Jerry Stackhouse's offensive statistics this season exploded, with an average score of more than 29 points per game, but the shooting rate was dismal, with an average shooting rate of just over 40% per game, and a true shooting rate of less than 50%.

In this game, the Grizzlies used a strong side defense to kill Jerry Starkerhouse.

Manuginobili continued to start, but perhaps it was too much in the last game, and this game, his form was average.

However, the Grizzlies still relied on the outburst of role players to win the game.

Ginobili, who had just won the weekly best season, finished with 19 points, three rebounds and four assists on 7-of-18 shooting.

Chauncey Billups and Michael Reed came off the bench and put on excellent performances, scoring 20 points and eight assists on 8-of-11 shooting, and the other hitting five three-pointers to score 20 points, and the Grizzlies scored 40 points with those two benches alone.

Starting Mike Bibby had 16 points and seven assists, but the top scorer was Raheem on the inside.

In this game, Ben Wallace stuck to the penalty area, Rahim did whatever he wanted in the middle distance, made 20 shots, hit 11 balls, plus free throws, Raheem scored 31 points, plus 7 rebounds, and won the best game of the game.

The Grizzlies have won six in a row, opening 12 games and still losing just one, 11-1.

………………

After playing the Pistons, the Grizzlies flew from Detroit to Boston to continue their road campaign.

In this game, they will face Celtic.

The Celtics, who have won the most championships in the league, have been rotten since Larry Bird retired, and they have been rotten until now, and they have not been able to solve it.

This season is Rick Pitino's fourth season in charge of the Celtics, and the Celtics' results are still not improving, with 4 wins and 8 losses in the first 12 games, and still can't touch the playoff threshold.

According to Hoop Sports, the Celtics are ready to replace Rick Pitino, after all, on paper, it is time for this Celtic team to make a difference.

They have a pair of excellent twin stars on the front line, Paul Pierce and Anthony Walker, and a group of role players who are not bad, Tony Barty, Bryant Steich, Vitali Portapenco, etc., with reasonable planning and reasonable use, at least this Celtics should also be a team on the fringes of the playoffs.

For Rick Pitino, Joe Hai knows his style better.

Rick Pitino is superstitious about three-pointers, so the players who are heavily used by the Celtics have a three-point hand, such as Bryant Steich, and Doug Ovinton, Rick Pitino will ask the team to shoot a lot of three-pointers, but in fact, this style of play often brings the result - three-point shooting is not possible, and then the Celtics lose.

In this game, the Grizzlies expanded their defense and focused on Paul Pierce.

Manuginobili broke out again after a slump.

He made 8 of 15 shots and scored a game-high 27 points, plus four rebounds, four assists and three steals.

Billups came off the bench and had 14 points and 12 assists, and Patrick Ewing chipped in 20+ rebounds for 12 points, 21 rebounds and two blocks.

Starting Mike Bibby had 13 points and seven assists, and Sean Marion also had 12 points and nine rebounds.

The Grizzlies won again, winning seven in a row, with a 12-1 record, and continued to sit first in the league.
