After an unexpected but successful semi-final, Qiao Hai became a celebrity.

At least in the San Gabriel Valley area of Los Angeles, Qiao Hai's name is already well-known to passers-by, and throughout Los Angeles, Qiao Hai's name is also mentioned by many basketball fans.

On the eve of the final, the Monterey team had two or three days to recuperate, and for Qiao Hai, these two or three days had already made him feel the benefits of winning Shaquille O'Neal in the semi-finals, he received a lot of attention, and at the same time, there was a better team and a better job to reach out to him.

After the last game, Qiao Hai directly received an invitation from UCLA University, a major NCAA league, and they hoped that Qiao Hai could go to UCLA University to serve as an assistant coach of the UCLA Bruins, the school basketball team.

This is the first invitation Qiao Hai received after the semifinals, which directly made Qiao Hai see the hope of entering the professional basketball world, although the NCAA is not professional basketball, but the NCAA is almost the same as professional basketball, as long as Qiao Hai can prove his ability in the NCAA, he will have the opportunity to go to a higher stage to prove himself.

For Qiao Hai, who is still an amateur, the opportunity has come unexpectedly......

Before the finals, Qiao Hai looked at the future smartphone in his hand, and the basketball godfather cultivation system that came with it will be Qiao Hai's survival in this life.

There are no changes to the system in a semi-final, and there is still only one function - the on-the-spot command and assistance system.

However, in the system interface, there is another screen - "More functions are waiting to be turned on......"

Qiao Hai is looking forward to more features here, because at the very bottom of the interface there is a set of numbers, which is 0 when the system is just turned on, and this number will increase by 1 every time Qiao Hai wins a game, and Qiao Hai's consciousness from 2018 tells him that this number is important.

After winning this semi-final, this number has risen to 27, which means that Qiao Hai has won 27 games in the Drew League.

This is terrifying, you know, before Qiao Hai took over, the Monterey team was still a weak team without a win in the Drew League.

The Monterey team has made it all the way to the final, and now, the final is even more important for Qiao Hai.

For Joe's Drew League coaching career, he must win the final championship and end the legendary dark horse season of Monterey.

For Qiao Hai's future coaching career, he must also continue his perfect performance, because in the semi-finals, the next final will definitely have more attention, and Qiao Hai wants to get a better chance.

An assistant coach position for the NCAA Division I UCLA team isn't Qiao Hai's most satisfying position, and he wants to wait for a better offer, a better position, and a better opportunity. ……

Before the final, the Monterey team, which almost suffered a loss in the semi-finals, also learned smartly, and the team's general manager, Paul Clement, learned about the opponent in the final in advance, and then went to the stadium to find Qiao Hai with a solemn face.

"Joe, according to reliable sources, the M.H.P. team has brought in NBA-level outside players."

The M.H.P team is the opponent of the Monterey team in the finals, as long as the M.H.P team is defeated, the Monterey team is the final champion, but when he heard that the M.H.P team also found NBA-level foreign aid, Qiao Hai was suddenly helpless and looked for foreign aid again......

For the first time, he was most concerned about who the M.H.P team was looking for, and the Chester team found O'Neill, the big shark, so who could the M.H.P team find? Michael jordan?

"Who did they find?"

Paul Clement gave a name: "Eddie Jones." ”

Eddie Jones, the Lakers' starting point guard last season, was also an All-Star bench last season, and another star player from the NBA, Qiao Hai felt a lot of pressure.

Against Shaquille O'Neal, who had the major flaw of free throws, Joe took the win.

In the final against Eddie Jones, Qiao Hai did not have such a good chance of winning, compared to O'Neal, Qiao Hai felt that Eddie Jones was a more difficult opponent to deal with.

Defeat the strong with the weak, and the most important thing is to take advantage of the opponent's obvious weaknesses, but Eddie Jones is just a player who is mediocre in all aspects, there are no weaknesses in all aspects, he has long shots and breakthroughs, there are defenses and singles, although everything is not fine, but in the Drew League, he is not good at everything, in fact, he is all-round.

How to deal with an opponent who has no weaknesses?

Fortunately, Paul Clement then gave another piece of good news: "But the good news is that we have also contacted two NBA-caliber players, and you can choose one to be our outside player in the finals. ”

Qiao Hai was pleased with the good news, and Paul Clement was quick to give the names of the two players: "Nick Van Axel or Kobe Bryant." ”

Nick Van Exel? Kobe bryant? Pick one? Do you still need to think about this? Qiao Hai made a choice directly: "Kobe Bryant." ”

Kobe Bryant, before the 1998 season, he was only Eddie Jones's backup, but in last season's All-Star Game, he became an All-Star starter as a substitute, which can be regarded as quite dramatic, in the Lakers he was Eddie Jones's backup, but in the All-Star game, Eddie Jones was his backup.

Although he is a substitute, Kobe's strength is no longer weaker than Eddie Jones, and Qiao Hai from 2018 knows how strong Kobe Bryant is later, so he did not hesitate to choose Kobe.

The opponents are Eddie Jones, Qiao Hai also has Kobe Bryant, and Qiao Hai is already full of confidence in the upcoming finals......

Think about it carefully, Kobe Bryant vs. Eddie Jones, if it is a normal duel between the two, maybe the young Kobe Bryant can only draw his predecessors at most, but with Qiao Hai, a draw? Inexistent!

……

In the morning, Qiao Hai made a choice, and in the afternoon, Kobe Bryant arrived.

With two days to go until the final, it's time for Monterey to hurry.

In the San Gabriel Valley, Monterey Park Arena, Kobe Bryant was just a young boy at this time, not like the bald head of later generations, Kobe Bryant still had curly short hair at this time, but in the face of Qiao Hai, Kobe Bryant behaved very calmly.

Qiao Hai remembered Jerry West's evaluation of rookie Kobe: Although he is not yet 18 years old, he already acts like an adult, and he is very mature.

Yes, Kobe Bryant was very mature, he shook hands with Qiao Hai, and then said: "Okay Mr. Coach, from today until the end of the Drew League finals, I will be at your command." ”

Qiao Hai smiled and nodded, at this time, his brain was racing rapidly, thinking about what kind of tactics the Monterey team should play after Kobe Bryant's arrival......

At the same time, on the other side of Los Angeles, the M.H.P. team has also welcomed Eddie Jones to join, and in addition to Eddie Jones, they also have a surprise for the Monterey team.

The head coach of the M.H.P. team is called John Emiro, and like Joe, he is an amateur coach.

The management of the M.H.P. team obviously knew that the most difficult thing for the Monterey team to deal with was not their core Tom Shiller, but the head coach Qiao Hai, so they brought in a coach outside the player.

Lewis Edney, assistant coach of the Los Angeles Clippers, will appear in the finals as John Emiro's assistant in this game, and most of the decisions of the M.H.P. team will be made by him and John Emiro.

Qiao Hai may not know that it was not only Eddie Jones who was waiting for him in the final, but also Lewis Edney at the level of a professional coach......
