January's game continues, with the Bobcats playing away to the Magic on January 7.

The starters played a tie with the Magic, who had the Big Three, came off the bench, and after the explosion, took the lead again.

In the end, the Bobcats defeated the Magic 111-91 and the winning streak continued.

Then, the Bobcats faced the Heat again, winning 99-80, one more game, and the winning streak suddenly reached 7 games.

Just when Qiao Hai was thinking about a ten-game winning streak, they faced the Grizzlies at home.

Against his old club, Qiao Hai naturally made countless arrangements, and in order to win the game, he even abandoned the regular style of play of the Bobcats.

Shaquille O'Neal's inside deterrent power was too great, and Qiao Hai had to let Tang Zhendong, Kendrick Perkins and Jahidi White take turns to play, constantly consuming the big sharks.

Then Maddie and his former bench Michael Reed exchanged flicks, and the game was quite intense, and the Bobcats showed tenacity, keeping their fingers tight and not giving the Grizzlies a chance to open up the difference.

But at the last moment of the game, Michael Reid was exhausted, and at the critical moment, a wave of iron hits, and on the Grizzlies' side, Shaquille O'Neal continued to hit the inside strongly.

At the critical moment, Qiao Hai sacrificed the shark slashing tactic, but sent O'Neal on 5 of 6 shots from the free throw line.

Then in the end, the Grizzlies defeated the Bobcats 109-99 to end the Bobcats' winning streak.

……

Losing to his old club, Qiao Hai's winning streak against the Grizzlies ended again, but this time, no one will belittle Qiao Hai, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Bobcats have played well enough, and in the end they lost only because the difference in strength was too big.

However, after the game, because Qiao Hai lost, Grizzlies' general manager Jerry West still received some praise.

"Trading to get Shaquille O'Neal is obviously an excellent operation, O'Neal joined, the Grizzlies suddenly have a strong point on the inside, and at the critical moment, Maddie and O'Neal worked together, and only the Rockets in the league may be able to withstand such a terrifying impact."

In other words, after this deal, the Grizzlies already have the strength to compete with the Rockets.

At the post-game press conference, Qiao Hai also did not shy away from talking about the Grizzlies and Jerry West: "Jerry is obviously a good general manager, every trade he made in the summer, every one of them was very good, the Grizzlies are a strong contender for the championship this season, but I must say that the Rockets are also championship contenders, so are the Lakers, and every team I've been on has become a championship contender." ”

In the end, Qiao Hai began to blow himself in a different direction.

Regarding the grievances between him and Jerry West, after many years, Qiao Hai also talked about this again: "It is undeniable that Jerry made mistakes, I have said more than once, if I stay with the Lakers, that Lakers team will have at least a four-game or even five consecutive championships, but now, they only have two championships, and they are two championships two years apart." ”

……

After losing to the Grizzlies, the Bobcats then unexpectedly lost to the Hawks on the road, losing two in a row.

Then, they returned to their home court and narrowly beat the Bucks by 3 points with a score of 102-99 to end the losing streak.

……

As we entered the second half of January, the Bobcats ushered in another wave of more difficult schedules, and on the 19th, they faced the 76ers, who are eighth in the East, at home.

Qiao Hai made several substitutions, and even the little AI Iguodala was pulled out by him to defend Iverson, and finally let Iverson get a high score of 49 points, and the Bobcats also lost because of it.

Then, they lost to the Mavericks at home, and it was another wave of two straight defeats.

The Raptors won 103-90 at halfway point, but then lost back-to-back to the Celtics a day later, which was also the Bobcats' 15th loss of the season.

But after this game, the Bobcats' excellent form is back.

They faced another old club of Qiao Hai at home, the Lakers, and the Bobcats played at home in this game.

The Bobcats have little chance of playing either the Grizzlies or the Rockets, because both teams have two absolute strong points, and the Bobcats have a poor defense and can only limit one at most.

As soon as the other broke out, the Bobcats had to lose.

Therefore, Qiao Hai didn't have any ideas about playing the Grizzlies and Rockets, but Qiao Hai had more ideas about playing the Lakers.

So far this season, the Lakers' record is also good, with Cortlambius playing a triangle offense, with Pau Gasol as the axis, Kobe Bryant as the main offensive point, and Sean Marion as the defensive core, playing fourth in the West and fifth in the league.

But in Qiao Hai's view, the shortcomings of this Lakers team are very obvious, Pau Gasol and Sean Marion are not credible at critical moments, as long as the Grizzlies lock Kobe, this game will still be played.

The most important thing is that Qiao Hai has worked with Cortlambis, and he knows very well that Cortlambis has a few pounds and taels, and the biggest problem for this Lakers team should be Cortlambis.

In this game, the Bobcats are still the starters and rush to the court, and the substitutes come up to harvest the game.

At the beginning, Andre Iguodala in the starter stared at Kobe Bryant, and the Bobcats played a strong side stacking defensive tactic, through regional restrictions, to a certain extent, suppressing the Lakers' offense.

At the end of the first quarter, the Bobcats took a five-point lead at 27-22.

In the second quarter, the Bobcats' bench lineup came on, and after a wave of outbreaks, the Bobcats beat the Lakers 33-19 in a single quarter, and the halftime lead was directly extended to 19 points.

In the quarter, Cortambis called two timeouts in a row, but they couldn't stop the Bobcats from extending their lead.

McBrin in the commentary bench had to sigh: "This game is actually Qiao Hai's unilateral suppression of Cortlambis, and the Lakers seem to be going to lose this game." ”

Johnson, the Magic partner with him, has also been shaking his head: "Kotlambis's coaching is not a failure in terms of record, but if you count the strong matchup, he is undoubtedly a failure, and if Mitch Kupchak wants to win something, he will have to change the coach." ”

Mafu Albert interjected at this time: "I heard that Michkupchak and Qiao Hai have a good relationship, and he should consider inviting Qiao Hai back." ”

McBrin shook his head: "No, it's impossible, Joe is now the small boss of the Bobcats, unless Jerry Bas also takes out some shares and gives them to Qiao Hai, Qiao Hai will not leave the Bobcats." ”

"If the stake can be exchanged for Qiao Hai, I can contribute the stake I own in the Lakers." Magic Johnson owns a portion of the Lakers, which Jerry Buss gave him.

Now, the magician said this, which means that even if it is the shares of the Lakers, it can't be exchanged for Qiao Hai, and Qiao Hai can't come back!

……

In the end, the Bobcats defeated the Lakers 109-92, and Qiao Hai continued his unmatched victory over the Lakers.
