In Houston, the lights are still on in the sports office of the Documentary's newspaper building, and Jonathan Fagan and his team are still working overtime.

The Rockets will have several slots for team reporters every game, and they can take the Rockets' special plane and go to the road together.

But this game, perhaps because the destination is Los Angeles, there are a lot of family members of the players who go to the away road with the team, so the Rockets don't give many places, and Jonathan Fagan did not go to Los Angeles with the team.

But the game was important, so he chose to stay in the office and work overtime to watch it live on TNT TV across the United States.

At this point, the game was already in its final moments.

"With the last three minutes of the game, the Rockets lead by 18 points, they have sealed the game, the Lakers fans on the sidelines have begun to retire, and for Qiao Hai, he still maintains his personal ...... of winning the Lakers"

The commentary on the TV has already announced the victory of the rocket.

Jonathan Fagan smiled and turned on the computer in front of him: "Okay, guys, we can start writing." ”

So, in the office, three of Jonathan Fagan's assistants also turned on their computers at the same time.

"After this game, we're going to do a special feature, because the Rockets have won nine in a row, and this nine straight wins, including this victory over the defending champions, we need to take a look at this streak."

A few assistants nodded, and Jonathan Fagan thought again: "That's it, Danny, you write the report of this game, Kent, you go and write a summary of the nine consecutive wins, and show me when you're done." ”

Finally, Jonathan Fagan looked at his last assistant, female reporter Megan Keela.

"Megan, your task is to write an analysis report on Qiao Hai."

And just like that, everyone got moving.

As for Jonathan Fishen himself, he turned on the TV again and tuned into Fox Sports, which will broadcast the Rockets' post-game press conference.

……

At the press conference after the game, both the Lakers and the Rockets were crowded with all kinds of reporters, and on the Rockets' side, Qiao Hai took Steve Francis to attend.

"Alright, old friends, it's time for your questions again."

Qiao Hai directly opened the press conference, and the live camera of Fox Sports was aimed at Qiao Hai, and the reporter from ESPN asked the first question.

"Joe, let's talk about this victory, you played very hard for a while, but since the second quarter, you have gradually chased points, tied the score, overtook the score and even expanded the lead, but from the perspective of the scene, the Lakers are still suppressing you, can you tell me what kind of way you used to win the game without dominating the field?"

The scene doesn't look dominant? Qiao Hai didn't know, but this victory was indeed a surprise, and the main surprise was that both Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant were slightly suppressed by the Rockets.

O'Neill is a visible suppression, and O'Neill ate five or six times in this game just by eating a hat.

And Kobe Bryant is invisibly suppressed, no one expected that Ron Artest and James Posey's defensive effect on Kobe would be so good.

For ESPN's question, Qiao Hai thought about it for a while, and quickly gave an answer: "In fact, we also have the advantage on the court, the Lakers' offense has been frustrated, but our offense has been smooth, we used excellent single-point defense to lock Shaq and Kobe, and then used the attack to break the Lakers' defense, so, we won the game." ”

After this question, the following questions rarely appear to be such complex questions about the game itself.

For example, a reporter from Sports Illustrated asked, "Changing teams, winning against the Lakers again, tell me how you feel, Joe." ”

"It's cool."

"Do you think the Lakers will regret losing you because of this streak of losses?"

"I think so."

"If you were the head coach of the Lakers, would you lose this game?"

"No, it won't."

"Why?"

"No why, because I'm Qiao Hai."

"The Lakers still got an O'Brien Cup after you, so why should they regret it?"

"Because if they keep me, the Lakers have won four consecutive championships, and maybe, they have a chance to win five consecutive championships."

Qiao Hai's answer to a series of questions was very brief, but the reporters were still satisfied, because Qiao Hai's answer was enough to help them write the post-match report.

Houston, the sports office of the Documentary, Jonathan Fagan smiled: "Joe rarely says this kind of thing, and every time he says something to the Lakers, he can't help it." ”

"So the post-game report, how do you write this paragraph?" Danny, who wrote the post-match report, looked up and asked.

Jonathan Fagan shook his head: "There's no need to write, Joe's last stop was not the Lakers, and we have no direct competition with the Lakers, so we don't need to intervene in this war of words for the time being." ”

"Of course, if the Lakers really want to have a war of words with Qiao Hai, we can stand up and say a few words for Qiao Hai, he is indeed the best coach in this league."

Danny nodded and continued to write his report.

The questions at the press conference continued, and Qiao Hai answered the Lakers' questions very aggressively, but no one stood up to refute them, because they knew that what Qiao Hai said was the truth.

……

……

The day after the game, the front page of the Houston Documentary was headlined - "Beat the Lakers, Rockets win nine in a row!" ”

And Kent's nine-game winning streak summary reads: "Rudy Tomjanovic is an old-school coach, and he brought rigor and discipline to the Rockets, but it didn't help the Rockets win, so Joe Hai took over." ”

"As a young coach, Qiao Hai has brought a lot of vitality to this Rockets team, and a very obvious change is that all the players are moving wildly, and the court is full of all kinds of cuts, pick-and-rolls, and passes, all kinds of long-range shots, and the team's offense is instantly beautiful."

"At the beginning of Qiao Hai's takeover, the team's record was still a little fluctuating because of various problems such as tactics and running-in, but after Christmas, the Rockets completely entered the state, winning nine consecutive victories, and now, they have surpassed the original eighth place in the West Suns by one win, and they have firmly occupied the eighth position in the West."

"Qiao Hai once again showed his magic, such a young Rockets team, he can bring such an excellent record, it is hard to imagine what kind of results this Rockets will get in Qiao Hai's hands after the young players of Yao and Steve Francis grow up......"

"Is it the overall winner? Or a dynasty with three consecutive crowns? Or as Joe put it, four in a row? ”
