"How much is this?" The team doctor at the scene held out a finger in front of Dior's eyes.

"1......"

"What is this?" This time it was two fingers.

"2......"

"What is 11?" the team doctor shook three fingers.

"3..."

"Okay, unconscious, maybe concussion!"

Good guy! Is there any law? Is there any law? After a "death buckle" that can be recorded in history, there is a "teammate accidental injury" that is destined to be recorded in history. Josh Smith punched Diaw on the head.

, fucked the French magician directly and reported to the neurosurgery department!

"Garnett's neck felt cold, as if he was thinking of that summer of 2000, when Carter's fist was only one centimeter away from his head!"

"Angels and devils, both are Josh Smith!"

"Shocked! Josh Smith beat up his teammates. Behind the victory, the Eagles are in crisis!"

For players, the most terrifying injury is ACL (torn cruciate ligament), but the most strictly controlled is concussion. For other injuries, as long as the team doctor confirms that they are correct, if you are willing to play closed, you can

It's okay to play even though you're injured.

However, for concussions, a league-cooperated agency must conduct an inspection to confirm that there are no bleeding points in the player's brain and that the player can only play after he is completely normal.

Generally speaking, it can take as little as three or four days, or as long as one or two weeks, and it won't be too serious, and usually there won't be any sequelae, but it's... embarrassing!

Fortunately among the misfortunes, this episode did not affect the Hawks' victory in this game. Paul scored a near-double-double with 34 points and 9 assists, setting a career high in scoring.

Josh Smith, who accidentally injured his teammate, scored a double-double of 22 points and 12 rebounds, which can be regarded as redemption. However, after the game, and even after the end of this season, the scene of Josh Smith punching Diaw will continue to be circulated.

, p picture, has become an eternal classic.

Immediately after the game, Josh Smith also went to the neurosurgery department of the hospital with Ke Yan to visit Dior, who was on the bed with an IV drip in one hand and a coffee cup in the other.

Concussions are different from other injuries. Apart from beating brain protein, there is basically nothing else to do. The nurse will shine a flashlight on your pupils every one or two hours, and 99% of the time it will be fine.

But if we catch up with the 1%, it will be a big deal! (I also had a concussion. A lively young man spent 8 days in jail in the hospital, and was not discharged until all the intracranial bleeding points recovered)

Dior was not too angry when he saw the initiator who "put him in the hospital". Instead, he asked the nurse to make a cup of coffee for Ke Yan and Josh Smith.

There are three treasures in violent tearing and hanging, and photography with coffee and red wine is good.

“Although French coffee is good, don’t be too greedy~”

...

On November 27, the Eagles went away to challenge the Indiana Pacers, who were deeply involved in transfer rumors.

For the Hawks, Diaw was absent. The Pacers also suspended Artest internally, and neither team took advantage. Both teams also coincidentally used rookies this season to take the starting position. Ke Yan replaced him with David Lee.

Diaw suffered a concussion, and the Pacers corrected Danny Granger, who has a very mature style of play.

They both use rookies, but their starting points are different.

The Eagles are obviously making passive adjustments. David Lee's data is not bad, but his performance on the field is really not as good as the data reflects. He has relatively comprehensive offensive skills, but it is easy to fall into a scoring shortage when encountering tough defenders.

, on the defensive end, apart from his height, his confrontation and frame protection are obviously not enough.

The Pacers are optimistic about Granger's potential and have the idea of ​​​​cultivating Granger to become the core of the team. This small forward has comprehensive skills, outstanding defense, and is very accurate in catching and shooting after running without the ball.

Short people can also use their height advantage to defeat smaller players. Artest applied for a transfer, and the Pacers didn't panic at all.

The progress of the game also reflected the importance of Diaw to the Eagles. The Eagles' offense lacked this frequency converter, and the tactics could only be based on two shots from the outside. It was monotonous and relatively easy to defend.

Artest was replaced by Granger, and the Pacers' wing defense was still terrifying. Granger and Stephen Jackson teamed up to block Joe Johnson. Joe Johnson, who scored 20 points 13 times in 15 games this season, dropped sharply in this game.

He made 7 of 19 shots and only scored 14 points. The team's leading scorer had no touch. Even with Paul's star stat of 258, it was difficult to lead the team to victory.

99:87, the Pacers hosted the Falcons, ending the Eagles' 5-game winning streak.

Although they lost, the 11-5 record was still the Eagles' highest winning record in a single month in the past 20 years. However, when reporters asked this question after the game, Ke Yan remained calm.

"We are still far away from the basic goal of 39 wins. Before reaching this number of wins, I will not open the champagne in advance." Ke Yan took a cue from AC Milan.

"Paul is currently at the top of the rookie rankings, and David Lee is currently ranked eighth. The Hawks have received two quality rookies in the draft. But their progress is closely related to your guidance, and you have a good relationship with them."

Do you have higher expectations?”

"They are all great players. I hope everyone will pay more attention to Chris' performance. In fact, it can be found that Chris is not suitable to be viewed by rookie standards. I think he already has the strength of an All-Star player.

David is a player with a very mature style of play who can stand up on the bench and provide timely help to the team. If the draft is re-drafted now, I estimate that David can at least enter the lottery." On the surface,

Ke Yan was praising the two rookies, but in fact he was bragging about his own vision.

But to be fair, Ke Yan's words are more objective. The Hawks have maintained their record in the top half of the Eastern Conference, and Paul has maintained his current average performance of 208.5. I can't say whether he will make the All-Star starting lineup, but he will definitely make it to the All-Stars.

In the first game in December, the Hawks came to Cleveland and challenged the Cleveland Cavaliers, losing 90:97.

Last season, Ke Yan joked with Hamblen that without the strength to lead the Cavaliers by more than 15 points, it would be difficult to win in Cleveland.

This may be biased when it comes to today's game. In principle, today's referees were fair most of the time in the game, and there was no obvious deviation. James made 22 free throws in the game.

What's more, he is really good at breakthroughs. Even though Posey gave a step of space on the outside, he still couldn't prevent his breakthroughs.

It is of little use to James that outside players simply "prevent breakthroughs but not shots". The key inside line still needs a big center to protect the frame. The Eagles really lack such an inside line. This is also a weakness that Ke Yan urgently needs to solve!

Although there was no Diaw, and although James made seven in and seven outs in the penalty area, the score between the two sides had been mixed for the first 45 minutes of the game.

The referee intentionally or unintentionally made two controversial penalties at critical moments, which not only established a slight advantage for the Cavaliers, but also shook the mentality of the young Eagles players and "helped" the Cavaliers win on the road.

Looking at the entire game, the scale of the penalty was actually within the "reasonable range" of the home whistle. However, because the controversial penalty occurred at a critical moment, coupled with the unstable mentality of the Eagles' young players, the Eagles lost. It can be said that the Cavaliers

In this game, the team had the triple advantages of "time, location, and people".

Well, maybe there were subjective reasons, so Ke Yan criticized Paul by name in the locker room. But at the same time, at the press conference after the game, Ke Yan also fired at the referee Silas!

"It is very troublesome to be interviewed after losing. I think Mr. Silas should be the one to be interviewed. Mr. David Stern should consider my proposal." Ke Yan just said clearly, "Silas

We are on the same team as the Cavaliers."

Fortunately, there was no fine for innuendo, and the league did not issue a ticket, but only issued a referee report. The report proved that the referee's decisions in the last two minutes of the game were basically accurate.

"You have the ability to give the referee's report for the last three minutes!" Ke Yan sneered on the plane back to Atlanta.

A two-game losing streak did not affect the Hawks' third ranking in the Eastern Conference.

Compared with the fiercer competition among the Western Conference teams, the strength levels of the Eastern Conference teams are more clearly divided. The Pistons and Heat are the first in strength, firmly occupying the top two in the Eastern Conference, and definitely have the strength to go head-to-head with the strong teams in the Western Conference; Charlotte

Especially the Bobcats and the Toronto Raptors are weak and have no other choice but to fail this season.

Among the eleven teams in the middle, it is not news who makes the playoffs, it just depends on who makes fewer mistakes.

Ke Yan reorganized the core lineup of the Eagles, designed unexpected tactics, reaped a wave of tactical dividends, and helped the team achieve an excellent record. But now, more and more opponents have begun to pay attention to the Eagles. Next

, it’s time to test the team’s “internal strength”!

...

After returning to Atlanta, Ke Yan began to study the player rosters of various teams in the league and began to look for possibilities to strengthen the inside.

Ke Yan's idea of ​​team building is relatively crazy, but he is not extreme. Even in the summer, he actually wanted to introduce one or two meat shields to supplement the lineup.

It's just that the old player Diop chose the Mavericks, who offered a higher price, and Ainge's asking price for Perkins was no different from robbery. There was nothing suitable in the selection, so Ke Yan went to the extreme and chose flyweight insider Mickey Moore.

A meat shield with a wide waist and a fat body is a treasure in every team. People whose names I have never heard of have mini-middle-class contracts worth 3 million, which shows that there is a market for meat shield insiders now! Ke Yan has his own talent for knowing people.

Obviously, there is no way to make other teams willing to trade!

Fortunately, after a night of searching, Ke Yan managed to find a few guys who were not doing well recently. They may not be players that meet the needs of the Eagles, but they should be able to improve the team's strength!

On December 2, Ke Yan and Larry Sander met in the manager's office.

"I also think that our inside line really needs to be properly supplemented. Otherwise, it will really be difficult to fight." Larry Sander's tone of "I have foresight" made Ke Yan uncomfortable.

tmdWho doesn’t know that the Hawks are short of inside players who can fight against others? I just know that there is one who can be used, but I still want Howard. Can you get him?

"I have selected the preliminary target. The transaction will not be very difficult. I believe you should be able to handle it." After speaking, Ke Yan handed a document to Larry Sander.

"Milicic!"

This is not the first time that Ke Yan has proposed trading this "parallel import No. 2". In the Lakers, Ke Yan once had the idea of ​​​​Milicic in the transaction involving Mimu, but unfortunately, the management did not support him.

With the joining of Cato in the summer, Milicic has been completely reduced to a water dispenser in the Pistons. So far this season, he has not played a minute in the game. Not only is he completely desperate for the NBA, the Pistons definitely want to get rid of him.

4 million salary.

"This guy is only 20 years old this year! He is younger than half of the rookies. I dare not say how high he can play, but at least he can be a big man!" Ke Yan said.

He is not sure about "saving the Serbian genius", but he is confident that under him, Milicic will not be much worse than in history.

"I can try this. I have to see what Dumas thinks of him." Larissand said.

"I can't play for a minute, what else can I think of?" Ke Yan said speechlessly.

The key point for the Pistons now is that they have no money. The Motor City's economy has declined severely, and the team's salary system has exploded. Whether Ben Wallace can renew his contract is a question. How can there be salary space to support him for two years? It's even more difficult now.

Milicic who couldn't play a minute?

I guess it's not impossible for the Hawks to rip off the Pistons and get a second-round pick now!

Larissade nodded, turned the document to the next page, and the second name came into view.

"David West?" The name made Larry Sander frown a little more.

It's not that the trade is difficult, but West is a short power forward. Although the confrontation looks good, it shouldn't improve the team's interior height and frame protection, right?

"His playing style perfectly matches Paul's. He can bring more changes to our playing style. If we give him sufficient playing time, David can bring us double-digit output!" Ke Yan said with confidence.

said.

Speaking of which, West was reduced to the Hornets' bench, averaging only 5 points and 3 rebounds per game. Part of the reason was the "butterfly effect" brought by Ke Yan.

He selected Paul with the second pick. West did not wait for his "right one". The Jazz selected Deron, and the Hornets selected Marvin Williams, who plays the same position as West!

After being carefully cultivated by the team, Marvin Williams averaged 11 points and 6 rebounds per game, showing his potential. Therefore, West, who was in the same position, could only be given up by the team!

If it were other players, there might be issues such as tactical adjustment and matching of technical characteristics. Paul and West couldn't be more suitable! If it weren't for the fear of scaring Larry Sands, Ke Yan would even dare to say that West will have an All-Star in the future.

Strength!

In contrast, Ke Yan's third choice is not so "thrilling". The SuperSonics' rebounding maniac, Reggie Evans, has a relatively simple technical feature, and is positioned as a human shield and rebounding. Ke Yan is right

He doesn't have high expectations, but he just feels that relatively speaking, he is a more "realistic" choice.

After giving out his trading plan, Ke Yan left the general manager's office and went to the airport to pick someone up. Before he could receive Hebe, Larry Sander's call came.

"Milicic is ours!"

Everything was just like what Ke Yan said. After Larry Sander proposed the transaction, Dumas hurriedly agreed to send away this burden of less than 4 million US dollars in salary, and worked out a trading plan with Larry Sander.

The Eagles sent a trade exception worth 3.75 million, the team's protected second-round pick in 2008, and the deal got Milicic, the Pistons' second-round pick in 2007. (The Eagles have enough salary space to eat Milicic alive.

odd contract)

Regarding the exchange of second-round picks, Larry Sander thought it was a trivial matter, so he agreed directly.

"Let's stop contacting the SuperSonics. Let's continue talking about West on the Hornets' side. If you have the right chips, just take it!" Ke Yan said longingly.

"no problem!"

After hanging up the phone, Ke Yan immediately took the laptop from the back seat of the car and began to check Milicic's information.

In fact, he is already familiar with this information. It is nothing more than "top dynamic talent among white people, balanced dribbling ability with both hands, excellent overall view, and outstanding defensive awareness." Apart from not showing it in the NBA, Milicic's report

Almost perfect.

Everyone knows that the current Milicic, both mentally and physically, is far from the genius he was two and a half years ago. This deal may not be as perfect as imagined.

It just depends on whether "Ke Xue" can change him.

Because of the rain, there were not many cars near Airport Road. Through the glass, Ke Yan saw a thin figure in the distance, carrying a backpack and looking around on the roadside.

Ke Yan quickly rolled down the window and waved vigorously at her. Hebe also noticed Ke Yan and rushed over in the rain. The car door opened, and a gust of fragrant wind blew into his face. Then a soft and delicate body couldn't hold it back and threw itself directly on his face.

body, and then subconsciously bounced away.

"Welcome to Atlanta." Ke Yan took out a tissue from the storage compartment and handed it to Hebe who was a little wet. "Are you here to see Never this time? Or are you here to see me?"

"That's right," Hebe responded, "I was never afraid that you would be bored by yourself, so I came to see you."

I checked the car carefully and found that it was indeed clean and did not smell like a woman.

"I will never let you check my position!" Ke Yan noticed Hebe's little move and said.

"Is there such trust between you two?" Hebe paused in his hand movements and tilted his head to look at Ke Yan.

"We are in a different place. What can we do if we don't trust each other? Is it possible to break up?" Ke Yan shrugged, suddenly stretched out his arms, leaned forward, and gave Hebe a slap in the face, "You are her best friend and also my friend, tell me

I, there are no other boys around her, right?"

Hebe was speechless: "Didn't you say trust? Where has the trust gone?"

"I believe in science and probability. The probability of breaking up in a long-distance relationship is so high, of course I feel pressured." Ke Yan said, "And I have also studied abroad. I know the unspoken rules of international students. Being in a foreign country means being single."

"Oh, it's quite a story~" Hebe said in a fuss, "You won't be persecuted... no wonder you have delusions of being persecuted."

"Go to hell!"

"Urgent, urgent~"
