Chapter 316: December
Ends in November.
Except for a win in October, in November, the Grizzlies had an excellent record of 12 wins and 2 losses, and although they lost two games, this record is still the best in the league, so there is no suspense about the outcome of the best coach in November, and Qiao Hai lifted the trophy.
Winning the Coach of the Month again, Qiao Hai doesn't attach much importance to this monthly award, for Qiao Hai, this Coach of the Month is just a new trophy added to his trophy showroom, and it is the lowest trophy.
But better than nothing, Qiao Hai still solemnly put the latest trophy into his Chinatown apartment.
Now, in Qiao Hai's Chinatown apartment, there have been two O'Brien Cups, the trophy of the best coach of two months, and a trophy of the best coach of the NBA, five trophies, the gold content is still quite high, after all, there are two O'Brien cups.
There is also the Best Coach trophy, which represents the highest honor for coaches.
…………
The end of November means the beginning of December.
In the new month, Qiao Hai continued to be busy, and on the team's side, Qiao Hai finally thought of a way to solve the current offensive problem, and he decided to add some simple blocking and pick-and-roll tactics to the team, adding Patrick Ewing and Rahim.
Small and big blocks and dismantles, and after blocking and dismantling, it can be the ball carrier attacking, or it can be given to the blocker to attack.
Ewing and Rahim both have mid-range shots, so it shouldn't be too difficult to join the pick-and-roll offense.
Qiao Hai added another low-post style of play to the team, the small one holds the ball and slips to the bottom line, the big one covers the bottom line, and adds a little change in the middle, such as the hand-to-hand cooperation between the big and the small, and the ball is passed to the hand, which may be an opportunity.
In short, in the coming period, the Grizzlies will have to increase the amount of interior offense.
"The offense still can't be too outside, otherwise it will be too much of a test of feel."
Outside the team, seawater investment does not need Qiao Hai to pay attention to anything, Qiao Zhishui's investment operation has always reassured Qiao Hai, not to mention the two long-term investments of seawater investment, one for Google and the other for Amazon, are good investments that Qiao Hai can be sure of.
Therefore, seawater investment that, Qiao Hai can be ignored.
In terms of Hoop sports, Hoop sports in North America has been fully developed, and with the increasing number of Internet users in North America, the traffic of Hoop websites is getting higher and higher, just like the posture of the boss of online sports media.
Because the development is going well, Qiao Hai now has more ideas.
He plans to wait for the end of this season to go to the NBA official to negotiate the online broadcast rights and further occupy the online sports media market.
In addition, Qiao Hai is also thinking about whether it is possible to diversify the Hoop website, and then invest some money to directly make Hoop a portal, obviously, this is not impossible, Seawater Investment now owns 20% of Google's shares, if you can seek Google's assistance, there is also a chance to make Hoop a portal, although at this time Yahoo has taken the lead.
Relying on the first-hand sources of Hoop in North America, the Celestial Empire's fire soon became the most authoritative sports media in China, and the traffic increased day by day.
And Qiao's father and Qiao's mother, Qiao Hai calls once a week, and he is always aware of the situation at home.
The fast food restaurant at home has been handed over to the cousin of the uncle's family by Qiao's father and Qiao's mother, and Qiao's father's focus has been on the western restaurant that has been open for less than two months.
The decoration style is very European and it costs a lot of money.
Qiao Hai also invited a Michelin-starred chef from Canada, and at this time, in the rapidly developing Jinling City, Qiao Hai's Toronto Western restaurant directly became a landmark Western restaurant in Jinling City.
And with Qiao Hai's enlightenment, Qiao's father has already figured it out, starting from this Western restaurant, he has been sitting behind the scenes, working hard to make money, and then opening a second Toronto restaurant to start his catering industry expansion!
Everything is going well, everything is going in a good direction.
………………
But at the Grizzlies, John McCaw suddenly arrives and shatters the peace.
"Joe, I called you over suddenly, I shouldn't have disturbed the team's preparations, right?"
John McCaw had a villa on the coast of West Vancouver, and he brought Joe Haw, and it was in this villa that Stu Jackson was there, and Joe Haw probably guessed the reason why John McCaw came to him.
On the sofa, in the face of John McCaw's question, Qiao Hai shook his head: "No, Mr. McCaw." ”
John McCaw smiled and nodded, "That's good." ”
"Joe, there's something I have to say to you." Stu Jackson, who sat on the sidelines, cut straight to the point.
Qiao Hai nodded, he still prefers this way of chatting directly to the topic, after all, he is not so tired.
'In the next two or three months, there will probably be a period of turmoil in the team.
Hearing this, Qiao Hai frowned, turbulent period? That's not a good thing.
"Turbulent times?"
"That's right, Joe, for the sake of the team's record, I have to say hello to you in advance." John McCaw picked up. "I'm ready to sell this team."
Qiao Hai was not surprised, obviously, he had already guessed, but he still asked: "Why did you suddenly think of selling the team?" ”
"You know, Joe, the McCaw family's main business is still cable TV, but right now, we're having some problems with cable TV and we need a lot of money to fill the holes, so I want to sell the Grizzlies and raise that money."
John McCaw continued: "Speaking of selling the team, I have to thank you, Joe, if it weren't for you, the Grizzlies' market value wouldn't have skyrocketed. ”
Qiao Hai smiled and didn't speak.
Regarding the sale of the team, Qiao Hai naturally had no right to interfere, but after thinking about it, he still asked: "Mr. McCaw, can you reveal who the new owner may be?" ”
John McCaw nodded again: "No problem, there are two candidates for the new boss, one is Michael Haesley, who is the founder of Haike, and the other is Robert Johnson, who is the founder of Black Entertainment TV, and the bidding between the two will start next month, for now, Michael Haesley's bid is slightly higher." ”
Qiao Hai frowned, and said in his heart: Sure enough, history still has inertia.
Michael Hasley, in his previous life, he became the owner of the Grizzlies, and then after taking the helm of the Grizzlies, he moved the Grizzlies to Memphis.
The latter founder of black entertainment television named Robert Johnson, Qiao Hai also roughly understands that the 2004 New Army Bobcats were founded by an investment group headed by Robert Johnson.
"It may take two or three months to sell the team, Joe, reassure your players."
Qiao Hai nodded.
Stu Jackson then said something else: "Joe, Mr. McCaw is leaving, and I may be leaving too." ”
“……”
"Mr. David Stern wants me to go to the league as vice president after this season, and be in charge of the disciplinary committee and other matters."
Qiao Hai smiled and said happily: "This is a good thing, Stu, maybe if we meet again next season, I will call you President Stu Jackson." ”
