If you want to deal with Elden Campbell, you first need Qiao Hai's cooperation here.

After winning the king with real knives and guns, the CCTV film crew from his hometown has also left, and Qiao Hai can also let Elden Campbell appear and start inspecting the goods.

Playing the SuperSonics away, Brad Miller started, Elden Campbell was the substitute, but he played the starting minutes, played 32 minutes, scored 11 points, 9 rebounds and 2 blocks, but the Grizzlies lost to the SuperSonics, but this loss is not that the Grizzlies played too poorly, but that the SuperSonics played too well.

Gary Payton made three three-pointers, Brent Barry made four threes, Vernon Maxwell made five three-pointers, and the three made 12 three-pointers, and the SuperSonics killed the Grizzlies with a three-pointer.

However, Qiao Hai is happy to see this loss, and if the Grizzlies continue to win like this, the tails of the young players in the team will really rise to the sky.

It doesn't matter if you lose one game, after ending the winning streak, let this group of young players sober up and know their position.

What Qiao Hai didn't expect was that the Grizzlies lost more than one game.

After playing the supersonics, the Grizzlies faced the Timberwolves back-to-back, facing Kevin Garnett, Raheem was directly locked, Maddy's breakthrough could not be used, and an offensive battle turned into a defensive battle, with low shooting rates on both sides.

The Grizzlies were affected by back-to-back battles and were not in good shape, and were taken away by the Timberwolves in the final quarter

In the end, the Grizzlies lost to the Timberwolves 88-96, two consecutive defeats, and Elden Campbell had 9 points and 8 rebounds.

The team's loss to the Timberwolves turned Joe's face black, and this loss meant a lot.

First of all, the Grizzlies lost the first place in the West after two consecutive defeats on the road, and the SuperSonics, who won the Grizzlies in the last game, are in first place with a 10-1 record, and the Timberwolves and Spurs are both 7-2 and tied for second with the Grizzlies.

The battle for the playoffs in the West is still quite fierce, the top four are the SuperSonics, Timberwolves, Grizzlies and Spurs, followed by the Lakers, Trail Blazers and Kings who are also 8-3, and the eighth in the West is 6-4 Jazz, Suns and Mavericks, ten teams are competing for the top eight, and the Nuggets are also on the rise.

Coupled with the Rockets, who started the season with 2 wins and 9 losses, but are still favored by many people, there are actually 12 teams in the West competing for 8 playoff spots.

The competition in the West is so fierce, if you don't pay attention to it, even the Grizzlies, who have won 7 consecutive games in the opening game, may fall out of the playoffs in a row, so even if they lose because of back-to-back battles, Qiao Hai must adjust.

Secondly, after playing these two away games in the West, the Grizzlies will play two more road games, and they will still be back-to-back, and this time they will fly farther, directly to the East, and face the Wizards and Hornets one after another.

The opponent is not strong, but the back-to-back battles, back-to-back away games, this is a test for the Grizzlies.

On November 23, U.S. time, the Grizzlies faced off against the Wizards, and the game was held at the MCI Center in Washington.

Last season, the Wizards were at the bottom of the West, and they didn't do much reinforcement this season, and the draft selection of Richard Hamilton was the only reinforcement, but at the same time, they sent away Ben Wallace, who performed well last season, Mitch Ridgemond was a year older, Robert Strickland and Juwan Howard continued to decline, and the Wizards started the game with 2 wins and 8 losses, continuing to be at the bottom of the East.

With such an opponent, Qiao Hai is still careful.

After two games off the bench, Sean Marion returned to the starting line-up, and Joe Hai put out the strongest lineup he could put on and only wanted to win.

But obviously, Qiao Hai was too careful, a team like the Wizards, really playing openly, is not the opponent of the Grizzlies at all, this game the Grizzlies are blooming at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and in the first quarter, the game is spent.

At the end of the first quarter, the Grizzlies led by 15 points at 35:20, and looking at this huge lead, Qiao Hai was also a little helpless.

Indeed, he was too careful, and he knocked out the Wizards as soon as he came up, and the gap was really too bad.

Standing in front of the bench, Qiao Hai glanced at the other side, the Wizards have also changed coaches this season, the new coach Galhead had previously coached the Mavericks, but in the season he coached the Mavericks, he led the team to only 9 wins, so he was forced to leave class without finishing a season.

This time back to coaching, Galhed is very eager to make a career, if this time continues to fail, Galherd knows very well that no team will ask him to coach in the future.

But the situation of coaching this time is still not good, 2-8 losses in the opening game, Galhead felt difficult, and lost 15 points in the first quarter of this game, the Grizzlies' offense is too strong, and the defense is not bad, so he was tyrannized by the Grizzlies, and Galhed had nothing to do, so he could only sit on the bench with a cold face and not move.

"How can there be another coach who sits firmly on Mount Tai when he is behind......"

Qiao Hai shook his head, he remembered that during the playoffs last season, David Falke also contacted the Wizards, but the Wizards did not consider letting Qiao Hai coach, Qiao Hai has always remembered this grudge, and now, the Wizards should probably know what kind of coach they missed, right?

Because the opponent's management had looked down on him, Qiao Hai did not stay in this game, and the Wizards collapsed in the second quarter, and the Wizards who played in the third quarter had no fighting spirit at all, and the game ended, and the Grizzlies won by 35 points with 122:87.

Elden Campbell came off the bench to finish with 14 points, seven rebounds and three blocks.

After two consecutive losses, it was immediately a big victory, and the Grizzlies went further and further on the road of dark horses.

The 8-2 record also quickly helped the Grizzlies and the Timberwolves open up a gap, because the Timberwolves lost, so now the Grizzlies only share the second place in the West with the Spurs.

After playing the Wizards, the Grizzlies flew to Charlotte again, and this flight crossed half of the United States.

Qiao Hai is also very helpless, the staff who arrange the schedule in the league never seem to use their brains, such a schedule is a complete waste of the players' physical energy, the players have no physical fitness, how exciting can the game be?

Before the game, Qiao Hai complained fiercely about the schedule.

Then, the Grizzlies lost to the Hornets......

The Hornets are not bad, they have played 11 games since the start of the season, with 6 wins and 5 losses, a winning rate of more than half, and they are also sixth in the East.

There are powerful players such as Glen Les, Anthony Mason Jr., David Wesley, Derrick Coleman, and a rookie Byron Davis on the bench.

The Grizzlies also have a Hornets veteran on the team, Brad Miller, who was traded for two second-round picks, but in this game, the Grizzlies lost and lost unlucky.

At the end of the first quarter, Raheem turned around and hooked his hand, and was slapped down by Derrick Coleman, but he slapped directly to the face, bleeding on the spot, and was sent to the hospital for examination.

Raheem was injured and the Grizzlies lost, which was really unlucky.

As soon as the match was over, Rahim's examination results also came out, a minor injury, a broken nose bridge, and a week of recuperation, after which he could wear a mask to fight, and after a month he could recover as before.

Qiao Hai breathed a sigh of relief, the current Grizzlies can't do without Rahim, without Rahim, the low-post offense is equal to zero, fortunately, Raheem only needs to rest for a week, just right, this week, he can let Elden Campbell start and speed up the progress of inspection......
