Chapter 130: Team Opener (For Support)

Leading by a big score, Snyder chose to replace the main players and let the substitute players come up to play. The offensive firepower was still fierce. Facing Wang Zhizhi and Yi Jianlian, David Lee turned into "Pau Gasol" and played as hard as he wanted. Eddie on the outside

House didn't hold back either, and he hit a three-pointer from the outside.

Fortunately, they also know how to let loose on the defensive end. The offensive environment of the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team is a little looser, and the team can at least score.

Yoga and Zhang Lili, who were responsible for the narration, were also a little more relaxed, not as awkward as they were at the beginning.

Ke Yan hopes that Yi Jianlian can re-understand the NBA through such a game.

David Lee, who stands opposite him, has excellent offensive skills. He can not only resist hard attacks in the paint area, but also shoot from 10 feet away from mid-range. His support ability is also very strong. He was selected by the Eagles with the 26th pick in the first round.

Team selection.

Of course, it can be said that Yi Jianlian's selling point is not his immediate combat ability, but his potential. Under his yellow skin, he has black-level explosive power and bullet speed, a good mid-range shot, and the vast Chinese market behind him, etc. It is difficult to follow "

A direct comparison to David Lee with "average ceiling", but in the end, potential that can be realized quickly is meaningful potential.

NBA, no one will accommodate you.

In the last three quarters of the game, the Eagles let their main players show up in each quarter, mainly training bench players and water cooler players. David Lee and Hayes became the brightest people in the game. The former scored 34 points and 17 rebounds.

He has more double-doubles than Wang Zhizhi, Yi Jianlian combined; although Hayes only played 9 minutes, he stood on the free throw line four times and stunned the audience four times. No one knew what his free throw rhythm was.

Yes, Yi Jianlian was even deceived into entering the line in advance.

Until the fans left the stadium and left the stadium, there were still many fans imitating Hayes' weird free throw gesture in their hands, talking and laughing.

In an interview with CCTV after the game, Ke Yan also commented on the game: "In this game, the Eagles showed some intensity. I hope this game is a warning to everyone, those who have NBA dreams.

Players can understand the intensity of the NBA through such a game. Maybe even if you can score 2010 or 3010 at home, in the highest level of competition, you will not be able to score a single point."

Yao Ming is responsible for being the bright knight of Chinese basketball, igniting the Chinese people's enthusiasm for basketball and becoming the idol of thousands of fans; while Ke Yan is playing the role of a "dark knight". He would rather suffer some criticism than expose some flashy backsides.

The bubbles illuminate the hidden crisis.

Ke Yan expected Yi Jianlian to find him. Even if it was a simple communication, Ke Yan was confident that he could provide some advice to the other party. However, Yi Jianlian did not come to him until the Hawks returned to Atlanta.

Maybe it's because of his introverted personality? But this is no excuse. Playing in the NBA, only those with strength can live according to their own personalities. Role players must be gregarious if they want to get opportunities.

...

After completing the mission of the China Game, the Hawks returned to Atlanta. After two days of rest, they played the last two preseason games one after another.

They lost to the Grizzlies 109:118 on the road and defeated the Orlando Magic 113:99 at home. The Hawks ended the preseason with 5 wins and 1 loss.

Although the preseason results do not count, the strength shown by the team will not be false. The Hawks' lineup is much stronger than it looks. Joe Johnson is worthy of the price, and Paul is a strong contender for the best rookie. However, the media most

Amazing is Dior.

After one round of pre-season games, Ke Yan has completely figured out how to use Diaw!

After the preseason, the first NBA official strength rankings were announced.

Unsurprisingly, the defending champion Spurs ranked first. Their work in the offseason was very good. After Finley joined, Ginobili moved to the sixth man position. There was no burden at all, and his playing time was reduced, but he could

Play your role in less time. Apart from the metaphysics of "the law of winning in odd years", the Spurs are indeed the strongest in the league.

The Pistons, who were defeated by the Spurs 4:2 in the finals, are ranked second. In last season's finals, they played six games with the Spurs. If it weren't for Horry's buzzer-beater, they might have played seven games. This season's team

The core lineup has not changed much, and two more human shields Cato and Amir Johnson have been added to the inside, just to have more people and more power when strangling the Sharks and Duncan.

The Miami Heat are ranked third. Wade is more mature than last season. No one except Kobe can suppress him at the shooting guard position. The team has also added a number of veterans to work together towards the championship.

The Mavericks, Suns, Pacers, and Rockets are ranked fourth to eighth respectively. The Hawks are ranked 19th and eighth in the Eastern Conference. This means that officials believe that the 11th in the Western Conference can make the playoffs in the Eastern Conference. This is very true!

In addition to the official strength rankings, the number of national live broadcasts of the Eagles has also increased this season. League regulations require that each team will be on the national live broadcast stage at least twice every season. The Eagles only played twice last season.

This season it has increased to four games. TV will broadcast 31 games of the Hawks, second only to the Rockets' 57 games.

With gradually rising reputation, the Eagles came to Milwaukee to prepare for the first game of the new season!

The Eagles played the Bucks away from home, and there was a lot of grievances.

The first is the direct dialogue between Bodog and Paul, the No. 1 and No. 2 picks in the same year's draft. In recent years, there has been a coincidence in NBA drafts, "The No. 1 pick and the No. 2 pick must be lucky."

1997, Duncan, Van Horn; 1998, Olowokandi, Bibby; 1999, Brand, Francis; 2000, Kenyon Martin, Swift; 2001, Kwame Brown, Chandler; 2002, Yao Ming

, Jay Williams; James and Milicic in 2003; Howard and Okafor in 2004. In the past 8 years, only the two pairs of 1999 and 2004 were considered qualified. In other years,

, is one of the two.

Everyone wants to see who is more reliable, Paul or Bodog.

Secondly, there is the grudge between Stotts and Key Yan. Speaking of it, this has nothing to do with Key Yan himself. It is mainly caused by the two teams.

The Hawks promoted Stotts to be the head coach last season. The team's strategy was to make things worse. As a result, the team ranked last in the league. They felt that Stotts was not someone who could lead the team to rise, so they fired Stotts.

Yeah, it's more or less like a scumbag's behavior of "putting up your pants and not recognizing anyone".

For the Bucks, Ke Yan was also the first choice for the head coach. Ke Yan went for the interview, but general manager Vandeweghe was unwilling to delegate power to Ke Yan. In addition, Ke Yan himself also used the Bucks as a backup, so the trip failed in the end.

Then the Bucks hired Stotts.

It's unknown what Stotts himself was thinking. Anyway, under the media's exaggeration, he came to this scene with a "revenge" mood.

Paul played very well in the preseason, but the Bucks really don't regret choosing Bodog with the No. 1 pick. The team already has TJ Ford and Mo Williams at the point guard position, and they are very strong. Instead, they chose inside.

After joining Bodog, he formed Bodog Magloire's inside combination, which is considered "well-off level" in the Eastern Conference.

The Bucks' smartest move in the summer was not to select Bodog with the No. 1 pick, but to lock up last season's most improved player Bobby Simmons with a five-year, $46 million contract (that is, package Yi Jianlian to the Nets, trade

Richard Jefferson). Bobby Simmons is a typical 3D player. To be honest, he has pretty good conditions. He has height, wingspan, and good confrontation. But even so, in a salary cap of only 4950

million. In a season where the luxury tax threshold is 61.7 million, it would be foolish to give such a player a five-year contract with an annual salary of 9 million, not to mention that Bobby Simmons also has a fatal flaw, a glass man.

The Bucks have a certain advantage inside, but the backcourt and wings are obviously at a disadvantage. If the Eagles can pick up the pace and make the Bucks' two inside men exhausted, the balance of victory will tip to the Eagles.

After the warm-up, players from both sides took the field. The Eagles started: Paul, Joe Johnson, Posey, Josh Smith, Boris Diaw.

Bucks starting lineup: TJ Ford, Michael Reid, Bobby Simmons, Magnoyle, Bodog.

The referee throws the ball into the air and the game begins.

The No. 1 pick faced Josh Smith. He had an obvious height advantage and easily passed the ball to his teammates. Reed took the ball and passed it to Ford, and immediately started running.

Reid used an off-ball pick-and-roll to get rid of Joe Johnson and cut inside, attracting Josh Smith to switch defense. He circled around the basket and ran out from the left side, and then screened Simmons 45 degrees without the ball.

Faced with Reid's off-ball movement, Josh Smith was a little confused after switching defenses. Ke Yan expected him to be Marion, but it has to be said that in addition to his running and jumping ability and the degree of stretch in the air, Josh Smith

There is still a big gap between Marion and Marion in other aspects.

Reed restrained the Eagles' defense. Bodog blocked Joe Johnson in the paint and turned around to score the ball.

The No. 1 pick scored the first goal of his NBA career, which was also the team's first point of the new season. Bucks fans cheered.

The Eagles served, Paul dribbled the ball across half court and handed the ball to Joe Johnson. The latter faced the frame and assumed a triple threat posture. After probing, he broke through from the right and was accurately followed by Simmons. He protected the ball with his back, relying on

Simmons suddenly turned around and shot toward the baseline. The movement was very smooth, but Bodog made a timely defense and jumped to interfere, and the ball missed the basket.

Magnoyle grabbed the rebound, and before he had time to protect the ball, the ball in his hand was clicked. When he tried to fight for it, his whole body was already on top of Paul, who had just taken the ball.

Paul, the second overall pick, had 1 steal.

Diaw served a sideline ball, Paul and Josh Smith played a high pick-and-roll and then split the ball. Josh Smith caught the ball at the free throw line, shook off Ford who was changing defense, and faced Bodog, but was knocked to the ground.

In one round of offense, two Bucks insiders were each fouled, which was not a good sign for the Bucks.

Josh Smith made two free throws, 2:2.

The Bucks were attacking, and TJ Ford was playing a pick-and-roll with Bodog, trying to use his speed to take advantage of the situation. On the Eagles' side, Paul's speed did not suffer, and he stuck to Ford, interfering with Ford's shooting.

Ford may be the fastest in the league, but basketball is not a 100-meter race after all, and speed in this absolute sense does not mean that much. If there is a peak James behind him chasing blocks, Ford, who is absolutely faster, can really beat Wei Wei.

Are people like De and Parker more confident in getting the ball in? If not, what's the point of being 0.0x seconds faster?

Dioca was in a good position and protected the rebound. He changed direction and passed Magnoir. The Eagles immediately "attacked with the whole army", 5 on 3 in the frontcourt. Dioc dribbled the ball straight into the three-second zone and passed the ball behind the back.

Pass it to Josh Smith who is following up behind him. The latter pulls his whole body into an arch shape, circles the arc, and slams the ball into the basket!

This goal really has the flavor of the Suns last season!

The Bucks attacked, Reid received the ball, took a step to the right, started a pick-and-roll with Magnoyle, separated Joe Johnson, and then broke through resolutely. Josh Smith followed closely and could not even take a step.

fall.

Wandering from the left wing to the right corner, still unable to get rid of Smith, Reed forced a shot, but missed due to Smith's interference!

Josh Smith grabbed the rebound and was about to push forward with the ball when he was blocked by a thug behind him. The No. 1 pick seemed to have forgotten that he had already received a foul and instinctively stopped the Hawks' fast break. As a result, he caught up with his second

Foul!

Stotts had no choice but to replace Bodog with substitute inside man Gazulic.

Gazulic is a typical blue-collar inside man whose skills are all based on strength. He suffered quite a lot against the Eagles' small lineup. Paul and Diaw played pick-and-rolls. After breaking into the three-point line, he only felt that he was different from Gazulic.

The distance between them was empty enough to park a bus. With a deft throw, Paul also hit his first goal in the NBA! (2:6)

Bodog, who was most confident in attacking inside, ended up playing the game. The Bucks' offensive focus was completely deflected from the outside. Reid knew that Josh Smith would be difficult to deal with after switching defenses, so he simply took advantage of the first space after the pick-and-roll to take a shot.

"Whoa!" Reed's lightning-quick shot hit accurately, and the score was immediately close (5:6).

The Hawks continued to play the pick-and-roll, and Gadzuric was unable to guard against this weakness. Joe Johnson took a shot from the mid-range. Although he missed, it caused a foul on Reid who was chasing behind him!

Joe Johnson made two free throws. In the first three minutes, the Bucks had already committed 4 fouls (5:8)

Compared with the Hawks' multi-point success, the Bucks' offense was very difficult. Reid then played pick-and-roll with Gadzuric. Joe Johnson and Diaw went directly to the line to attack, almost causing Reid to make a dribbling error. When Reid picked up the ball,

When the ball was passed again, it was still difficult to avoid the fate of being intercepted by Paul. One person dribbled the ball away from the defense, and Paul made a steady layup.

Paul scored a basketball, and Stotts called a timeout, rearranged his tactics, replaced Magnouier with dunk king Mason, and used a small lineup to compete with the Hawks.

Compared with the "old and honest" Magnoyle, Mason, who moved from small forward to power forward, has a much stronger impact. The team also has an extra ball-holding point on the court. His involvement helps Bowen in the corner.

Simmons found an opportunity to shoot and hit a 3-pointer. (8:10)

Stotts has his own way of doing things on the offensive end, and he also has "occasional tricks" for substitutions and adjustments, but his tactical ideas remain the same. He prefers shooting guards to take decisive action after pick-and-rolls cause dislocations, and on the defensive end, he pursues defense.

His strategy was to protect the rim and not follow out easily. He could defend the basket and grab three-pointers, but he could easily be killed by a mid-range shooter! (This was also the case with the Trail Blazers later. He was a good coach, but not that good.

)

Paul and Diaw were on a pick-and-roll at the top of the arc, passing the ball to Diaw who was coming down the line. Ford and Mason were chasing Diaw at the same time. The latter looked back at the moon and threw the ball to Paul at the top of the arc. Paul adjusted and attracted Reed to cover up.

Passed to Joe Johnson at 45 degrees, who adjusted his rhythm, ignored Simmons's defense, and hit a three-pointer! (8:13)

Although there was no increase in the data, Diaw's pass directly opened up the Eagles' offense, and Paul was also very calm in handling the ball. After attracting the defense, he handed the ball to the team for the most accurate three-pointer.

of Joe Johnson.

The Bucks' offense has improved, but the defense is still unable to defeat the Eagles. When the official timeout entered, the score had reached 12:18, and the Bucks were 6 points behind at home.

(Thanks to the book friend "Fuck you, there can't be characters", for the reward of 500 points and 1500 points)
