Chapter 183: Iron-Blooded Rahim
After losing to the Grizzlies again, the Lakers were once again bombarded by public opinion.
Phil Jackson was once again pulled out to compare with Qiao Hai, and more and more voices were criticizing Phil Jackson, after losing two games against Qiao Hai, it is needless to say who is better between him and Qiao Hai.
Although Phil Jackson brought out a Bulls dynasty, two triple championships put Phil Jackson on the altar.
But taking over the Lakers has left Phil Jackson with a bit of a downward trend.
The previous season, Qiao Hai led the Lakers to win the championship.
In the next season, when there was no change in the main lineup, Phil Jackson could only bring the Lakers to the fourth place in the West, even behind the Grizzlies led by Qiao Hai.
On the other hand, Qiao Hai, who won the championship with the Lakers with a bad record in the previous season, proved that he was only 24 years old enough to serve as the head coach of the NBA first team.
After entering the Vancouver Grizzlies, Qiao Hai brought the Grizzlies from the bottom of the West to the top of the West, playing five more games in December, the Grizzlies won 4-2, and the overall record was 15-5, ranking ahead of the Lakers and third in the West, behind the Spurs and the Trail Blazers.
In the Lakers, with the original luxury lineup, Qiao Hai was successful, and he was transferred to the Grizzlies, and based on the lineup that was at the bottom of the West last season, Qiao Hai single-handedly created a new lineup, and then achieved success.
Obviously, in terms of the gold content of success, Qiao Hai is more sufficient.
In the face of the media and public opinion's crazy verbal criticism, Phil Jackson held back the fire, he really had nothing to do, and the Grizzlies had nothing to say about winning him, because in this game, the Grizzlies were frontal offense, and they also won the Lakers by 1 point in the first three quarters of the game.
There was no joint defense, and the whole court was marked to defend, which made Phil Jackson unable to speak.
Come to think of it, there is only one flaw left in the Grizzlies' win - the clash between Brad Miller and O'Neal.
So, in the case of one-sided public opinion, a new argument soon appeared - the grizzly bear won the dishonorable!
This argument was made by the Los Angeles Daily News, who argued: "The Grizzlies provoked O'Neal with insidious and dirty tactics shortly after the start of the fourth quarter, and the sharks were ejected, and the Grizzlies extended their lead in a wave to win the game, and it was clear that the Grizzlies won the game." ”
This argument is very loud.
Soon after, the league officially announced the fine, and Shaquille O'Neal was sentenced to a five-game ban and a $5,000 fine for unsportsmanlike behavior in the schedule.
As for Brad Miller, he only received an additional one-game ban for a second-degree malicious foul, with no other punishment.
The Los Angeles media felt even more unfair.
Qiao Hai couldn't bear it anymore and responded: "The alliance's punishment is very fair, Brad didn't fight back, and Shaq is the one who did it, so he should be punished heavily." ”
Qiao Hai is right, the grievances of the Los Angeles media can't make big waves, as for the Grizzlies' disgraceful remarks, Qiao Hai's response is also very direct: "A 20-point win, another 13-point victory, the difference between the two wins is not small, I think it has explained a lot of things, and when Shaq was sent off, the Grizzlies were already ahead of the Lakers, Shaq was ejected, Brad was also ejected, the Lakers have losses, and the Grizzlies have losses." ”
With such an explanation, the grizzly bear easily got out of the storm of public opinion.
On Dec. 13, the Grizzlies play the Clippers again at the Staples Center.
Against the Clippers, who are currently at the bottom of the West, the Grizzlies were also merciless, taking a 17-point lead at halftime.
Then, in the second half, the Grizzlies slowed down and turned the game into garbage time, winning the game comfortably 112-88.
Facing Lamar Odom, Sean Marion, who is a rookie in the same class, also broke out, shooting 9 of 14 in the game, scoring the first 20 points of his career, plus 11 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 steals, completely suppressing Lamar Odom, who only got 15 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists.
After playing two away games in Los Angeles, the Grizzlies returned home.
Back in Vancouver, Joe received the reward for the special mission of returning to his hometown.
One dynasty point, 20 victory points.
Needless to say, he has to save 500 victory points, and then buy another item in the system store - Hawkeye.
As for the dynasty point he just got, Qiao Hai turned around and went to the interface of the universal lottery and used it directly.
Ding, the system prompts: "Ding, congratulations to the host, get a player trait card." ”
"Player trait cards, in addition to attribute ratings, each player has their own traits, for example, Robert Horry as a role player can often play a lore scene, or Kobe Bryant sometimes explodes to hit iron, sometimes explodes to score, are all characteristics of the player himself."
"Player trait cards, after use, get a trait that can be placed on the right player to have a bonus effect."
After glancing at the introduction, Qiao Hai understood.
A player trait, as the name suggests, plus a systematic explanation, is something like a big heart, or a nerve knife, and the system calls it a trait.
For example, if you take out the Nerve Knife trait and put it on Chauncy Billups, who plays reasonably, Billups's playing style will change dramatically, from a player who plays reasonably and never shoots indiscriminately to a player who catches the ball and throws indiscriminately.
After thinking about it, Qiao Hai directly used this player trait card.
"Ding, congratulations to the host, you get the Iron and Blood trait, which can be used on any player."
Iron blood, Qiao Hai sounded for the first time Iron and Blood, Iron and Blood Big Jump Shot, etc., this trait is suitable for players with a soft playing style, think about it, the softest player in the Grizzlies may be Rahim, Rahim's physical fitness is not excellent, there is no speed in the No. 3 position, and there is no block in the No. 4 position, he will only float outside to shoot, even if he is single, he relies too much on his own footsteps.
Coupled with the lack of active defense, Qiao Hai felt that the most suitable card for this card was Rahim.
Therefore, without much hesitation, Qiao Hai directly used this iron-blooded trait card, and the object of use - Sharif Abdulahim.
In the future, Raheem will become the iron-blooded version of Rahim, no longer the soft No. 4 power forward who is criticized by many people and can only float outside with various long-range shots.
In fact, Qiao Hai was not satisfied with what was drawn out of this universal lottery, an iron-blooded trait card, he felt that it was really useless, even if Rahim was iron-blooded? The strength has not changed, and naturally there is no bonus to the team.
But if you think about it, the hardest thing for a player to change is his personality.
Rahim's style is soft, causing him to dare not fight, and he doesn't try his best on the defensive end, such a change, from Rahim's own personality, maybe Rahim is different, what changes will an iron-blooded and high-spirited Rahim bring to the Grizzlies, Qiao Hai is also looking forward to it.
