At the beginning of the second half, the Lakers switched to the OK combination again.

The OK combination was present at the same time, and the Lakers' offense was still quite ferocious, seeing that they were chased by the Lakers and chased within 15 points.

Qiao Hai whistled directly on the sidelines, waved his hand, and on the field, the rhythm changed suddenly.

Billups controlled the rhythm, and the Grizzlies strictly played a multi-person pressing defense on the strong side, three defenses and two defenses on the strong side, preventing Kobe Bryant, and only defending O'Neal on the weak side.

But the shark slashing tactic was also activated.

As soon as O'Neal got the ball, Patrick Ewing immediately sent a foul.

At the same time, Qiao Hai called Rasian Nestelovic from the bench, ready to switch to a center forward to continue to implement the shark slashing tactic.

Although the shark-cutting tactics were implemented a little early, in addition to Ewing and Nesterovic, the Grizzlies also have Jamal Magloyl and Jack Worthcur available, in short, there is no shortage of shark-cutting centers.

Qiao Hai used the shark slashing tactic, which was basically equivalent to using a trick.

The shark cutting tactic is used well, and it can almost abolish O'Neal's unique strong point.

And the coach who is best at using shark slashing tactics is Qiao Hai, so, after the Grizzlies adjusted, everything went well, Kobe Bryant was locked, O'Neal couldn't get the ball, even if he got the ball, he wanted to score, he could only stand on the free throw line and use his bad free throws to score.

So, the Lakers completely collapsed.

At the end of the third quarter, the Grizzlies easily scored 100 points in the third quarter, scoring 106 points in the third quarter to 106:89, leading the Lakers by 17 points.

This score, in the words of McBlin: "The Lakers' offense is good enough, if there are no accidents, they will break 100 points in this game, but even if they score more than 100, they will still lose the game......"

In the fourth quarter, Phil Jackson wanted to give up the game outright, but the key problem was that this game was a Christmas game!

Ditch the Christmas War?

If Phil Jackson really had to do this, maybe David Stern would be upset and give the Lakers some eye medicine.

So in the fourth quarter, the Lakers went on a semi-main and semi-bench lineup, dragging the rhythm of the game and continuing to play.

For the Grizzlies, the fourth quarter completely became their training ground, Qiao Hai made one substitution after another, and roughly played on the court for a while, during which time the general role was no longer limited to outside the three-point line, and he began to play alone with the ball.

There's also Michael Reed, whose role is no longer limited beyond the three-point line, and he's also starting to play with the ball.

Jamal Magloyer also got a lot of playing time.

In this way, a game that seemed to everyone to be evenly matched actually showed signs of one-sided in the first quarter of the game......

The next game was indeed one-sided.

The Grizzlies sealed an 18-point lead at halftime and 17 points in the third quarter.

In the fourth quarter, under various drills, the Grizzlies' lead was not narrowed by the Lakers.

In the end, the Grizzlies defeated the Lakers with a score of 135:115! Win this Christmas fight!

……

"It's a crazy head-to-head battle, when you get 115 points, you can't win the ball, just think about it, you know how crazy it is!"

After a big battle of offense, McBrin was in full swing.

Marv Albert laughed and added, "When you get 115 points, you lose 20 points, which is even crazier!" ”

"The Lakers' defense is terrible!" Magic Johnson still clearly can't forgive the Lakers' defense. "That's not the defense that a championship team should have!"

"I'm sorry, Erwin, to be correct, after Qiao Hai leaves the Lakers, the Lakers are not a championship team." McBrin made up for it.

“……”

Magic Johnson was speechless for a while, but he had to admit that McBlin was right.

"If it's Qiao Hai who coaches the Lakers, who will win this game?" Mav Albert quietly gave a thought-provoking question.

Magic Johnson also had to admit: "Lakers ......"

"Therefore, it is actually Qiao Hai who really determines the outcome of the Lakers and Grizzlies matchup."

Then, the commentator spoke about the old question: "Should Phil Jackson get out of class?" ”

Once again, McBrin and Magic Johnson disagree on this issue.

McBrin believes: "Phil Jackson is already the best coach the Lakers can find at this stage, so he shouldn't be out of class, and the Lakers should be patient. “

Magic Johnson is radical: "Why be patient? Be patient, lose again and again, and finally see the Grizzlies win the championship? ”

The commentary booth was constantly discussing.

In the middle of the field, the game was over.

The red light came on, and the Lakers scored 115 points, but still lost by 20 points, because the Grizzlies scored 135 points! In this great era of defense, 135 points is terrifying!

Qiao Hai walked to the sidelines, but Phil Jackson maintained a gentlemanly demeanor, did not leave the field early, and obediently shook Qiao Hai's hand.

With countless cameras focused, Qiao Hai didn't say anything to Phil Jackson, simply shook hands, and the two turned their heads and walked towards their players' tunnels......

The Staples Center was full of boos, and in the midst of the boos, the Christmas war began, and in the midst of the boos, the Christmas war came to an end......

……

……

"135 points in the game, Mr. Qiao Hai, do you have anything to say about your team's offense?"

Qiao Hai, who won the game, was full of spring breeze, and the atmosphere at the Grizzlies' post-game press conference was also very warm.

Qiao Hai answered the first question with a smile: "It's great, everyone is in shape, so we played the most popular attack, I believe everyone is happy!" ”

"Yes, we're all cool! So next question, Mr. Joe, what do you think about the Lakers' defense? ”

"Very strong! They are strong defensively. ”

“……”

The reporter who asked the question didn't seem to hear clearly: "What, can you repeat it?" ”

Qiao Hai smiled slightly: "Are you asking me if I'm joking?" Congratulations, got it right, I was kidding......"

“……“

The scene was speechless again.

In the new season, reporters from major media in North America found that Qiao Hai was more slippery than last season, with all kinds of answers to questions, or all kinds of jokes, in short, there is only one word to dig out of Qiao Haikou-impossible!

After answering a few questions one after another, Qiao Hai pressed his hand: "Okay, guys, don't stop asking?" Have you forgotten that it's Christmas? Go back and be with your family! ”

……

And just like that, the post-match press conference for the Christmas game came to an end.

It also means that the Christmas game is really over, with the Grizzlies winning, the Eastern Conference, the Heat winning, and neither home team winning.

David Stern was once again left early amid boos at the Madison Square Garden arena......
