Chapter 144: Seize the opportunity and leave hole cards

Three days later, it was still Vancouver, and the Lakers arrived in full force.

As the godfather of the Bulls dynasty, Phil Jackson's process of taking over the Lakers this time was not glorious, he took over a Lakers who had just won a record, so Phil Jackson was under a lot of pressure.

As a result, the league arranged the schedule, and the second game was against the new team of former coach Qiao Hai, which made Phil Jackson a little helpless.

This matchup, for Phil Jackson, is both a bad thing and a good thing.

The bad side is that Phil Jackson has to be in the whirlpool of public opinion again, which Phil Jackson does not want to see, he just wants to quietly lead the Lakers to the regular season, since the Lakers won the championship last season, Phil Jackson has suffered countless verbal criticism, countless criticisms, countless comparisons with Qiao Hai, Phil Jackson can't stand it.

On the bright side, as long as Phil Jackson leads the team to win the next game, the months-long debate about "who's the best head coach for the Lakers" will be over.

So, Phil Jackson is still looking forward to this game.

As the godfather of the dynasty, he naturally does not fight unprepared battles, and for this game, Phil Jackson has also prepared a lot, and his assistant Jim Jammons, who is specifically responsible for finding out the news, gave Phil Jackson a few messages.

Maddie's outburst, Princeton's tactics, the small player's air cut, slipping back door, and running back, Phil Jackson all made corresponding targeted arrangements.

At the press conference before the game, Phil Jackson also put on a high profile, the Lakers are the champions, and the Grizzlies are the penultimate first, there will be no suspense in this game, but even if the Grizzlies lose and lose by 10 points and 20 points, it is not Qiao Hai's problem, Qiao Hai is a good coach, very young, and has a bright future, etc., etc., etc.

In short, Phil Jackson put his position very high, as if Qiao Hai was just a junior.

Grizzlies' pre-game press conference, this time, Qiao Hai figured it out, since the goal is to win, and must win, then why not say it generously? Why do you have to keep a low profile?

Facing the Lakers, Qiao Hai felt that he didn't need to be low-key at all, and let the Lakers know in a high-profile manner that he Qiao Hai just wanted to win the Lakers! is to win Phil Jackson, he is to prove that the Lakers replaced him was a wrong decision!

Therefore, at the press conference, in the face of reporters' questions, Qiao Hai smiled and acted very confidently, facing the camera: "Our goal is to win, I know that the opponent is the Lakers, and I also know that it is my old club, but because he is my old club, so in this game, we can only win, there is no other way." ”

Qiao Hai's words, the media interpreted, thinking: "Who wouldn't say big things? Win the Lakers? If Qiao Hai leads the Spurs and Jazz, maybe there is still a chance, but the Grizzlies? No kidding, okay? ”

The media didn't believe it, the fans didn't believe it, and Phil Jackson naturally didn't believe it even more.

At six o'clock in the evening, there was still an hour before the game started, and the attendance at the GM arena in this game was not bad, but if Qiao Hai knew the reason, he might vomit blood, and the reason for the good attendance in this game was that the Grizzlies' opponent was the Lakers.

There were a lot of Lakers fans wearing purple and gold jerseys at the scene, so the attendance of the General Motors Arena increased, of course, the improvement was limited, and now the Lakers' prestige has not reached its peak, and the attraction is not so great.

Before beating the Lakers, the system released a new side quest with special rewards.

"Ding, new side quest released: the first time you face your old club, you must want to win a victory, win this victory, you will get a special reward."

"Win the victory against the Lakers, mission reward: 20 victory points, special reward: a system card pack."

It's a system card pack again, the best sixth person promotion card drawn from the last system card pack, although it can't be used for the time being, but Qiao Hai can see the excellence of that card, although it can't improve the player's total rating or some attributes, but re-plan the attributes, which is very BUG, after re-planning the attributes, many unimportant attributes can be lowered, and the important attributes can be turned up, although the player will be biased because of this, but the role will be greater, and the data will be more beautiful.

So, the best sixth man booster card is still very good, which proves that the system card pack can still draw some good things.

The task is not mentioned for the time being, before playing the Lakers, in the locker room of the home team, Qiao Hai didn't have any nonsense, and directly began to arrange the way of playing this game.

"In this game, let's change the way we play."

Qiao Hai decided that this game was going to catch the Lakers off guard, he couldn't wait for the Lakers to take the lead, in this game, it must be the Grizzlies who made the first move, and then waited for Phil Jackson's adjustment, and Qiao Hai kept up with the adjustment.

In short, Qiao Hai wants to go ahead, and he wants to seize the opportunity of every wave.

"In the last game, our main attacker was Tracy, and in this game, we were led by Sharif."

Changing the main attacker, this is a big change made by Qiao Hai, the Lakers' outside defense is very strong, Scott Pippen, Kobe, Bruce Bowen, every arrow player who can defend the opponent one-on-one, so whether it is to surprise or avoid its edge, it is the best choice to transfer the main attack to the interior and to Rahim.

In terms of player attributes, Raheem at 86 is almost the same as Maddie at 86, and such a change will not affect the team's strength.

"The main attacker has moved to the inside, and our tactics need to be changed accordingly."

Qiao Hai immediately wrote and drew on the tactical board behind him.

"Let's continue to play high play, Bullard, and you can add some mid-to-long range shots in this game, of course, if you find your touch first." Qiao Hai has not forgotten that today's Brad Miller is the peak Brad Miller.

In this way, Brad Miller's outside firepower can also be used to make a change.

"Tracy continues to cut and get the ball, but if you encounter a stubborn defense, don't be stubborn and look for an opportunity to give the ball to Sherif ."

Maddie will continue to take the ball, he is a threat point, even if he is not the main offense, Qiao Hai will use Maddy's threat to involve the Lakers' defense.

"In addition, we play more of the number four tactics, Sherif takes the ball more in the middle distance and low post, and when he gets the ball, he has to attack without hesitation."

Tactic No. 4 is the one with Raheem participating, specifically: point guard or scoring guard holding the ball on the outside, feints, big forward back to the basket, point guard or scoring guard giving the ball, power forward single, point guard or scoring guard empty-handed bottom line, power forward two options, one single, the other pass to the point guard or scoring guard who slips the ball to the bottom line.

However, in the past two days, Qiao Hai has improved this style of play, and it has become: point guard or scoring guard feints with the ball on the outside, through the cover of the center, cut into the inside, and the big forward is in the middle distance, take the ball at every opportunity, or shoot from the middle distance, or cut into the basket with his back, single, or pass the ball to the small player who slips the ball to the back door.

With this change, Rahim's medium-range firepower can also be used.

In the end, Qiao Hai asked mysteriously: "We have been practicing another set of playing styles in the past two days, everyone should be familiar with it, right?" ”

Everyone nodded, Qiao Hai was very satisfied, only he knew that at the critical moment, the so-called other set of plays here was his hole cards.
