On Chinese New Year's Eve, Qiao Hai asked Han Xue out for dinner again.

This time it was dinner for the two, but the food was very peaceful, and Han Xue called her family and said Happy New Year.

This reminded Qiao Hai, and Qiao Hai also called home, and it was Qiao's mother who answered the phone.

On the phone, Qiao Hai said Happy New Year first.

Then, I asked about the current situation at home.

"Everything is fine at home, business in Toronto is very good, and the business of fast food restaurants is the same as usual, recently your dad went to Modu to inspect again, there are a lot of Western restaurants in Modu, but there are really not many of them with our grade, so your dad is going to Modu to open a branch......"

"The branch is good, it should be done like this!"

Then, Qiao's father answered the phone.

"How are you doing in the United States?"

"It's okay, I'm busy with the team all day."

"Busy work is busy work, and don't forget about personal problems!"

Qiao Hai was puzzled: "What a personal problem." ”

"It's your emotional problem!" Qiao's mother couldn't listen anymore, and interjected next to her.

Qiao Hai was suddenly embarrassed.

"Can you come back for the Chinese New Year this year?"

"Can't go back ......"

"That's still coming back in the summer, bring a girlfriend back, or don't come back......"

Qiao Hai responded with a hard brain.

The relationship problem is not that he doesn't want to find the other half, but he really doesn't have the time and resources, so he slowly dragged it off......

Han Xue made a few phone calls over there, and the last call was to Wang Weiye.

In the end, Han Xue also asked Qiao Hai: "Brother Viagra's phone, do you want to say a few words?" ”

Qiao Hai thought about it and nodded.

……

Recently, Wang Weiye's life has not been easy, his father was suddenly demoted by Mingsheng, so his status has also fallen, and there are not so many people who scold him.

Wang Weiye's career also went wrong.

"Dahai, you are in the basketball world, can you help me ask, is there anyone who really loves basketball, I want to find a home for Aoshen."

Qiao Hai was stunned for a moment: "Why do you suddenly want to sell the Ao God?" ”

"I don't play at home, I sell it, and the things in the system, as you know, are cao eggs."

Qiao Hai nodded: "Okay, then I'll help you take a look." ”

After chatting a few more words, Qiao Hai hung up the phone.

……

After dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve, Qiao Hai became obsessed with Ao Shen.

Wang Weiye wants to sell Aoshen, Qiao Hai thinks that this is an opportunity, but the biggest question is whether he should seize this opportunity and enter the CBA.

Entering the CBA here does not mean that he is going to coach in the CBA, but that he wants to buy Aoshen and make himself the boss.

This can be regarded as an investment, Qiao Hai's idea is to gradually roll out his own commercial stall, the media industry is Hoop.com, and the sports world can be him, and buying Aoshen is also an expansion of his sports territory.

In the future, he is also ready to buy an NBA team, so buying Aoshen can be regarded as a test of Qiao Hai.

But Qiao Hai was still hesitating, he roughly understood the selling price of the Aoshen team, which was roughly between 80 million RMB and 100 million RMB, which is equivalent to more than 10 million US dollars.

Qiao Hai's funds on hand are not enough, Hoop's income plus his salary is only more than 3 million US dollars, and if he invests in the funds with seawater, Qiao Hai is not very willing.

Therefore, the funds limited Qiao Hai's willingness to acquire Aoshen.

Maybe you'll only have to find a few collaborators?

After thinking about it and having no clue, Qiao Hai shook his head and got up......

……

……

After the New Year, the beginning of January.

The Grizzlies' sale and acquisition drama continues, but it is clear that the Grizzlies' form has not been affected, and the December Coach of the Month trophy was awarded to Qiao Hai again, which is also Qiao Hai's third Coach of the Month trophy.

In January, the Grizzlies' journey continued.

For Joe, there is one more task in January, and he needs to ensure that the Grizzlies are ranked first in the West by January 31, which is related to the ownership of the head coach of the All-Star Game, and also related to a special task at the beginning of the season.

Completing special quests will give you a bit of dynasty points, so this is important.

In the first game of January, the Grizzlies faced the Charlotte Hornets away.

Charlotte's ball market suddenly became bad because the Hornets had passed a proposal to move to New Orleans for the 2002-2003 season.

Charlotte's die-hard fans naturally quit, so for several games in a row, the Hornets had few people at home.

This game was no exception, and with so many empty spaces on the sidelines that the Grizzlies almost thought they were playing an amateur game.

For the Hornets, the biggest takeaway this season should be last year's rookie Byron Davis, who has improved significantly, and with the addition of young players such as PJ Brown and David Wesley, the Hornets have made great strides this season.

With 20 wins and 12 losses, it is fifth in the East.

But in this game, against the Grizzlies, who are the first in the league, the Hornets quickly lost.

Starting Mike Bibby and Billups both scored 20+, plus Raheem's 19 points and 10 rebounds, Patrick Ewing had 18 points, 13 rebounds and 2 blocks, and Sean Marion had 15 points and 11 rebounds.

The Grizzlies relied on the excellent performance of the starters to win easily 109-89.

The win once again allowed the Grizzlies to reject a losing streak.

After that, the Grizzlies won 108-76 against the Suns again, making it two wins in a row.

On Jan. 7, the Grizzlies faced the Bucks again.

This season, the Bucks have formed a triumvirate of the perimeter, the aliens Sam Kassel, the gentleman Ray Allen, and the big dog Glenn Robinson.

Relying on this outside trio, the Bucks are also 18-14, ranking in the top eight in the East and in the playoffs.

The Grizzlies at the beginning of the season, which is similar to the composition of this Bucks, relied on the outside to score, but now, the Grizzlies are different from the beginning of the season.

Relying on a set of pick-and-roll offense, Patrick Ewing and Raheem also began to join the team's offensive system, and without Maddy, the Grizzlies' offense has become three-dimensional.

So in this game, the Grizzlies' strategy is to force the interior.

Then relying on Raheem, who scored 22 points and 8 rebounds, and Patrick Ewing, who scored 25 points, 14 rebounds and 3 blocks, and scored 12 points and 5 rebounds off the bench, the Grizzlies easily won the game and won three in a row!

Then, the Grizzlies won back-to-back games against the Nuggets and the SuperSonics.

The tournament started in January, with a wave of 5 consecutive wins!

The Grizzlies are still in hot form.

And that's when Maddie returns......

……

……

"Let's welcome Tracy back!" Qiao Hai patted Maddie on the shoulder and said.

"Bang Bang Bang~!"

Amid a round of applause, Maddie returned to the team.

"From today, Tracy has been joining our training, but Tracy, it's not time for you to really come back, in the last two weeks, you can only participate in training, not competitive, and when Fred tells me that you can play, you can officially come back......"

In other words, this time Maddie's return is actually just that Maddie can already participate in the team's training.

After a serious back injury, Maddie recuperated for more than two months and finally returned.

This was good news for the Grizzlies, but at the same time, Qiao Hai received another piece of bad news......
