Chapter 298: Adjust the starter and fight the Lakers again

After two games, Qiao Hai focused on the overall performance of the team.

Without Maddie, the Grizzlies would have to rely on the overall offense and defense to win, and the defense is okay, the system has been established, and the Grizzlies don't have players who are very poor defensively, and even if they do, they are desperate on the defensive end.

The biggest problem is the offense, and the three best players on the offensive end so far in the game are Manuginobili, Billups and Patrick Ewing.

Needless to say, Qiao Hai didn't arrange any offensive tactics for Ewing, he scored 10 points on 5-of-7 shooting in the last game, and 12 points on 5-of-8 shooting in this game.

For the time being, Qiao Hai positions Patrick Ewing like the later Deandre Jordan, attacking and making full use of Ewing's defense.

Ginobili should be regarded as the biggest surprise of the Grizzlies in the new season, in the second game, Ginobili still didn't play much, only played 25 minutes, got 18 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists, two games of excellent play, Ginobili instantly became the biggest favorite for the best rookie this season, especially this year's draft is still a small year, the new season played two or three games, the best performance is Ginobili, a pseudo-rookie (drafted in 1999, only entered the league in 2000).

Other rookies, such as Kenyon Martin, made 4 of 16 shots in his debut, which was naturally not a good performance.

and Marcus Fetzer, who scored 16 points and 6 rebounds on 7-of-13 shooting, was far inferior to Ginobili in terms of statistics and impact on the game.

The most important thing is that Ginobili's performance is shocking, his style of play cannot be found in the NBA, the style of play is enchanting and gorgeous, and all experts and commentators who have watched Ginobili play believe that the NBA is about to usher in a new international superstar.

In the first two games, Billups also performed well, the first game may have been a little ironclad, but he did a good job of controlling the rhythm and controlling the ball, and in the second game, he was the team's leading scorer, scoring 26 points on 10-of-17 shooting and five assists.

The worst performer was naturally Mike Bibby.

Qiao Hai also didn't know what happened to Mike Bibi in the offseason, in the new season, Mike Bibi suddenly increased his aggressiveness, his offensive desire became extremely huge, and he covered his head when he got the ball, Qiao Hai has not intervened, but the two games have been like this, there has been no change, Qiao Hai feels that he should intervene and intervene.

This season, the Grizzlies have a lot of players who can play, and almost everyone in the 15-man roster can play except for Jack Worth Curle and Damon Jones, who have been DNP (unactivated), and the injured Maddy.

Therefore, Qiao Hai decided not to let Mike Bibi shoot for the time being, the ball is dispersed, as long as the opportunity can be run, everyone can shoot, that is, the ball is evenly divided, this move can also help the team's blocking tactics to improve rapidly, because in this arrangement, the singles are reduced, and the team can only stare at the blocking tactics.

In the next game against the Lakers, Qiao Hai is ready to play a ball equalization.

Since killing the Lakers four times last season and sweeping the Lakers 4-0 in the playoffs, Qiao Hai has no desire for the Lakers, and it doesn't matter if he loses one or two games in the regular season, not to mention that the Grizzlies are missing one of the most important Maddies, without Maddy, even if the Grizzlies lose, the Lakers have nothing to be proud of.

……………………

The Grizzlies had a day off in Los Angeles, and the next day, they stepped onto the floor of the Staples visiting locker room again, this time against the Lakers.

Qiao Hai met Michi Kupchak in the locker room passage, the atmosphere was a little awkward, Qiao Hai didn't want to say hello to Kupchak, but Kupchak specially greeted him and said: "Joe, meet again." ”

The meeting was extremely embarrassing, and Qiao Hai didn't know why Mitch Kupchak still had to talk to him, but since he had already talked, he didn't think about it anymore, and chatted with Kupchak for a few words, which was regarded as reminiscing, and then, Qiao Hai entered the locker room and began to arrange the way of playing this game.

"In this game, we will change the starting line-up."

As soon as he entered the door, Qiao Hai came to such a sentence, everyone was nervous, adjusting the starter, which means that there are starters who have to become substitutes, and there are substitutes who have the opportunity to start.

"In this game, our starting lineup is point guard Chancey Billups and scoring guard Stephen Jackson." Two names were announced, and Mike Bibby's head was lowered, and in the first two games, the Grizzlies started as a dual-control combination, with Mike Bibi and Billups starting together.

In this game, Qiao Hai finally decided to make a change.

Mike Bibby lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, on the contrary was Stephen Jackson, a rookie in 1997, who was abandoned by the NBA because of personality problems, and has been messing overseas, after joining the Grizzlies, Stephen Jackson himself didn't expect his opportunity to come so quickly.

In the first two games, Stephen Jackson's playing time hovered between five minutes and six minutes, and at such a short time, Stephen Jackson had no chance to prove himself.

Now, he's starting and playing in the opening game, and Stephen Jackson knows his chance is really coming.

"Small forward Sean Marion, power forward Raheem and center Patrick Ewing."

With only one position shifted, Mike Bibby felt the crisis.

At the point guard position, the Grizzlies have four players, Billups and Mike Bibby can start, Steve Kerr is also a qualified backup, and Damon Jones can also be on top if necessary.

Now, Mike Bibby is not doing well, and his position is naturally in doubt.

And Qiao Hai replaced Stephen Jackson as the starter, the purpose was to defend and play the Lakers, the first thing the Grizzlies should pay attention to was the defense of the OK combination, and Stephen Jackson played to defend Kobe Bryant.

As in last season's playoffs, Joe is not prepared to flank Kobe.

With Raheem and Patrick Ewing on the inside, plus Sean Marion, Joe is ready to infinitely pinch O'Neal, and this is the Grizzlies' defensive strategy in this game.

In terms of offense, Qiao Hai did not arrange single tactics anymore, but kept emphasizing sharing the ball: "Pass the ball up!" If you have the opportunity to shoot again, don't force the singles if you don't have the chance, in this game, whoever dares to force the singles, I will replace them! ”

The young team is easy to get up, and Qiao Hai's move is also to prevent the team from going up, but with Billups on the field, Qiao Hai doesn't have to worry too much.

The locker room was arranged, Qiao Hai noticed the possible emotions of Mike Bibi, but he didn't pay too much attention to it, and demoting Mike Bibi to a substitute is only temporary, Qiao Hai will definitely give Bibi a chance to show himself, even if it is a substitute, Mike Bibie's playing time will not be less, the key is to see if Bibi can seize these opportunities.
