Wang Weiye and his entourage of six people continued to stay in Vancouver to play.

Truth be told, there's not much fun in Vancouver, except for the exotic customs, there is only one Stanley Park in downtown Vancouver, which is said to be the largest urban park in the world.

On top of that, the Lions Gate Bridge is the largest suspension bridge in the world, Canada Place – the famous "Five Sails" building, Gastown, Queen Elizabeth Park, Gross Hill, Capilano Suspension Bridge, and Chinatown.

It can be said that if you just go shopping for two days, there will be nothing to visit.

So just a day later, Wang Weiye found Qiao Hai again, said hello, asked for six tickets, and prepared to watch the Grizzlies' home game up close.

Joe gave them a front seat and was close to the Grizzlies' coaching seat.

On January 12, the Grizzlies played at home against the Phoenix Suns.

The Suns have had a solid season with head coach Danny Ange leading the team to a 13-7 record in 20 games before resigning, citing the need for more time to spend with his family.

Scott Skels took over the team, and the Suns' record fluctuated slightly, until now, the Suns' record is 19-14, which means that Scott Skels' team has a 6-7 record, which is far worse than Danny Angie's team.

The Suns slipped in the Western Conference and were overtaken by the Jazz, and the Nuggets behind them were also chasing fiercely.

So they desperately need a win to secure their playoff spot and get out of their current dangerous situation.

Hitting the sun, Qiao Hai has a lot of experience.

Last season in the Lakers, Qiao Hai abused the Suns once he saw them, the reason is very simple, the Suns are a single-core team, and the ball is concentrated in the hands of Jason Kidd.

This time, Qiao Hai adjusted the starting lineup again, Mike Bibby did not start for the first time, the starting point guard was Chauncey Billups, who performed well in the previous game, and the scoring guard was Ragabel.

In terms of defensive assignments, Ragabel will mark Kidd, Billups assists, plus Maddy at small forward, Sean Marion at power forward and Brad Miller at center, this is the starting lineup for this game.

……

"Hello everyone, and welcome to NBC TV's regular season game between the Vancouver Grizzlies and the Phoenix Suns! I'm Commentator Cherry Miller! My partner – Kenny Smith! ”

"Hello everyone, and welcome to this matchup between two Western giants, I'm Kenny Smith."

After the two commentators introduced themselves, on the sidelines, the home team Grizzlies appeared.

The NBA home team's appearance ceremony has always been very formal, accompanied by fiery cheers and shouts, the DJ on the scene shouted the name of each starter, in order, Ragabel, Chaun Billups, Brad Miller, Sean Marion and Maddie appeared one by one, especially the last Maddie, the audience cheered, all kinds of shouts, Vancouver fans are going crazy.

Of course, Maddie also deserves such cheers and shouts, it can be said that the attendance rate of the GM Arena is now more than 95%, and one-third of the credit is Maddie's.

The other two-thirds are naturally all Qiao Hai's.

Finally, the lights of the stadium shone on Qiao Hai, and the DJ shouted: "Finally, let's welcome the head coach of the team!" Mr. Qiaohai! ”

Boom, another cheer from the audience, this time the cheers were no worse than Maddie, obviously, in Vancouver, Qiao Hai is also the most popular person.

"This Qiao Hai can, the darling of the fans!" Among the six people watching the game on the sidelines, Chen Mulin sighed first.

Several other people stared at Qiao Hai, who was waving to the fans on the sidelines, with different expressions on their faces.

Wang Weiye smiled: "Isn't this for sure? In fact, it is not difficult to understand, you must know that last year the Grizzlies were still the bottom of the West, all kinds of losses, only won 8 games in a season, you look at this season, so far only lost 9 games, I looked at the rankings a few days ago, the Grizzlies are now third in the West. ”

"Who's the first and second?" Han Xue kept staring at Qiao Hai, and at this time, she suddenly asked out loud when she never cared about basketball.

Wang Weiye replied: "Spurs and Lakers. ”

Han Xue nodded as if she didn't understand.

On the field, the starters of both sides had already appeared, and Qiao Hai sat in the coach's seat, tilted his head and smiled at Wang Weiye, which was regarded as a greeting.

Then, Brad Miller and Luke Longley jumped the ball,

The game officially started, and Qiao Hai also set his sights on the field, always watching the team's attack and defense.

Brad Miller won the jump ball, Maddie got the basketball, and the other four Grizzlies rushed to the front court like four bullets and found their position.

Before the Suns' defense was formed, Maddie had already taken the ball and went straight to the basket, no way, the Suns' No. 4 starter Tom Gugliotta rushed directly to Maddie who had already thrown off the defender, Maddie was good, and further accelerated, but when he rushed to the distance of Gugliotta one step ahead, he suddenly braked.

One turned, and wiped directly over Tom Gugliotta.

Then, he took another step, kicked his left foot on the floor, and with a burst of force, Maddie rose into the air and faced the unguarded basket, with a bang! Ball in!

The opening game was violently dunked, and the GM Arena was naturally cheering.

Grizzly Bear's bench, a piece of people jumped out, and then a white towel was thrown away, and Qiao Hai also stood up and applauded.

The Suns' offense, Jason Kidd controlled the ball, and he immediately encountered Ragabel's tangled defense, completely unable to break free.

The breakthrough is limited, and the organization of the offense seems to be still playing, but the Grizzlies don't give Kidd a chance to organize an offense at all, and there is always another player who wanders around Kidd, guarding against Kidd's passes, as long as Kidd passes, the Grizzlies will try to break the ball, or directly through a quick rotation defense, to block the object of Kidd's pass.

In the opening first attack, Kidd controlled for a while and tried to break through.

Didn't work out.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Clifford Robinson on the touchline and had another chance and passed the ball directly over.

But Maddie, who was defending Clifford Robinson, quickly stepped back and got close to Clifford Robinson, not giving him a chance at all.

Clifford Robinson dribbled for a while, but didn't find a chance, no way, and gave the ball to Kidd again, this is, the offensive time is running out, Kidd received the ball, and immediately shot, this ball is a catch ball, and Kidd can't help but shoot.

Ragabel, who has a lot of defensive experience, stepped forward again, giving Kidd no space at all.

With a bang, Kidd shot the iron in 1 second.

Sean Marion grabbed the rebound and quickly counterattacked.

The Suns' defensive speed is not fast, their starting lineup, in detail, is actually three big men with two guards, Clifford Robinson often plays the position of power forward, plus Tom Gugliotta, who was previously the main center, and Luke Langley, who is 2.18 meters tall, this starting lineup is slow.

Qiao Hai also wondered why the Suns, who were known for their running and bombardment in the future, would put on such a lineup at this time, but he turned his head and glanced at Scott Skels, and everything understood.

Scott Skels is a defense-oriented coach, and when arranging the lineup, it is naturally defense-oriented, so the big center Luke Longley must start, Tom Gugliotta, who originally played center, has average defense, but the interior singles ability is the first in the Suns, and Kidd can't open the situation.

Clifford Robinson plays the No. 4 position, but his long-range shooting ability is excellent, and he is the Suns' scoring leader this season, so Clifford Robinson cannot be substituted.

For the sake of defense and for the sake of attack, Scott Skells can only put on this lineup.

But as soon as the Grizzlies broke fast, the Suns' defense was penetrated......

Playing fast in a row, the Grizzlies also scored in a row.

On the contrary, the Suns' offense couldn't play, Jason Kidd was locked up, and Tom Gugliotta on the inside tried two singles and scored 2 points.

The Grizzlies opened with a direct wave of 12:2 and led by 10 points at the beginning.

The atmosphere at the GM Arena was already on fire, and in that case, Scott Skels could only call a timeout.
