Chapter 143 Good fighters, no illustrious achievements (seek support)
In the midfield locker room, Ke Yan praised Paul's wonderful performance. In this highly "attention-grabbing" game, Paul performed well on both offense and defense. On the defensive end, he and his teammates restricted Iverson. The answer is above.
5 of 14 shots in the half, quite inefficient!
On the offensive end, Paul delivered 7 points and 5 assists, which was lower than usual. However, all the energy "saved" on the offensive end was devoted to the defensive end, which was more beneficial to the team.
After feeding the chicken soup, Ke Yan then clearly assigned everyone the tasks for the second half and the things to pay attention to during the game, and everyone agreed one after another. The tactics in the first half were very successful, and Ke Yan mainly repeated the tactics arranged before the game.
No major adjustments were made, but it was enough for the players to relax and focus on the upcoming second half.
Soon, the fifteen-minute break passed, and the two sides returned to the field. Fans who had eaten, hung out, and shopped during the intermission also returned to their seats one after another. Compared with last season, there were often large vacancies.
The Eagles' ball market is much better this season, with an attendance rate of over 96%, ranking seventh in the league.
The extra money from ticket sales alone for one season is enough to pay the salaries of Ke Yan and his entire coaching team!
It’s no wonder that Ressler regards Ke Yan as a treasure. Even when the two-year contract has only been fulfilled for half a year, he has already considered waiting for the end of the season to re-sign the contract with Ke Yan and give him a salary increase!
The Eagles launched the first wave of offense. Paul held the ball through half court. Diaw came to the top of the arc to cover him. The French magician's cover was very solid. Iverson did not squeeze through. Of course, he might not have.
He wanted to squeeze through so much that he chose to go around the defense after a short try. However, Dalembert was afraid of Paul's mid-range shooting ability and did not fully follow him. He stayed above the free throw line, giving Paul an opportunity to take action.
Paul did his job and threw a three-pointer. Iverson's defense was too late and he could only watch the basketball arc through a high arc and fall into the net.
77:50, if this is turned over, 27 can replace 58 and become Paul’s code name!
The conflict with the management, falling behind by a big score, and the aggressiveness of the new generation No. 3, all of these are tingling Iverson's nerves. His blood still hasn't boiled like this in a long time!
Iverson controlled the ball past half-court, and Dalembert came over to pick and roll. The moment Paul diverted his attention to Dalembert, Iverson made a breakthrough in the opposite direction and passed Paul abruptly.
The Eagles' defense.
This time, it was Josh Smith who came to help defend.
Frankly speaking, Iverson originally had a chance to pass the ball.
But he didn't! He hit Josh Smith's upper body forcefully, and then used an action similar to horseback archery to drive the basketball into the basket.
"Whoosh!"
"Beep!" Not only did the ball go in, but he also got an extra penalty.
Iverson hit the extra free throw and hit a three-pointer successfully!
When the Eagles attacked, Diaw went to the outside to pass and cut, and sent the ball to Posey who was diagonally crossing the penalty area on the right side. The latter rushed to the basket, but failed to score the ball due to the interference of Dalembert.
At the first moment, Posey motioned to the referee to block the foul. Ke Yan also reminded the referee on the sidelines: "This is our home court!"
Not to mention the home whistle or something like that, at least don't try to give Iverson the "lone hero" persona, disgust the Eagles!
But don’t tell me, the Alliance really likes to play this trick sometimes!
Iverson continued to play a pick-and-roll with the Haitians. The Hawks double-teamed, Iverson distributed the ball, and Iguodala received the basketball and took a feint shot. After deceiving the defense, he passed it to Alonzoki, who made an easy jumper.
..."Shua"!
Those who didn’t know better thought he was “possessed by Paul”.
The score difference was narrowed to 21 points. The fans thought it was nothing, but Ke Yan had already smelled a hint of danger!
When Iverson drove into the penalty area again and again, or scored layups, or drew fouls... things became serious.
The commentator said that Paul could not guard Iverson in the second half! There is a reason for this, but the more reason is that when the referee "timely" supported the 76ers on the weaker side, the young people of the Eagles were present
The impetuous mood appeared again!
Once the team fails to score on offense, it will "Alexander" on the defensive end! Considering that the team's inside combination is Diaw and Josh Smith, it is even more taboo on breakthrough players like Iverson and James!
"The focus is still on adjusting the team's offense!" Hornacek reminded.
The score reached 84:69. Ke Yan couldn't help it anymore and called a timeout to suppress the 76ers' rising momentum!
"Kerry, come on, replace James. Go around from the baseline to the corner, do a pick-and-roll with Diaw, catch the ball at 45 degrees and look for opportunities to take action! On the defensive end, pay attention to Iverson's double attack, and you can give him the ball appropriately when necessary.
Iguodala space!”
"David! You replace Josh and get rid of this Haitian monster for me! If he gets the ball in the penalty area, he will foul directly and send him to the free throw line!"
The referee was a bit ungrateful and messed up the mentality of the young people in the Eagles. It would be okay for Ke Yan to play a "shark-killing" tactic, right?
I am a disciple of "Old Nelson", and I am so eclectic. If you have the ability, don't go to Dalembert!
If you are not convinced, Dior and David Lee can be chopped by you, I won’t pick!
When the Eagles attacked, Diaw and David Lee both pulled to the free throw line. First, Diaw made the first pick-and-roll at the top of the arc to take away Iverson, and then David Lee made the second "wall" to find a one-on-one challenge for Paul.
Dalembert's opportunity, Paul easily passed his opponent and scored a layup. (87:69)
The offensive end regained its touch. In the next round of defense, Paul also kept up with Iverson's rhythm. When Kittles was assisting in defense, he also blocked Iverson's passing line and successfully intercepted it.
After receiving the answer, Iguodala fouled immediately and did not allow the Hawks to counterattack.
The Hawks' position battle offense was still a high-post double pick-and-roll. This time Iguodala chose to cover up the defense and missed Kittles. The Mosquito shooter hit a three-pointer and opened the score to 20 points.
!
The Hawks' field lineup has five players who can shoot. Without Garnett, Ben, and Howard, it's not easy to restrict the inside. But their defense has loopholes, and the 76ers can't catch it. Webb handed the ball to
With Dalembert under the basket, Diaw directly pulled down the opponent and sent the Haitian to the free throw line.
Dalembert made one of two free throws. This hit rate is worth cutting!
Paul and David Lee played a pick-and-roll, and David Lee assisted by cutting into the basket and scoring a backhand layup. The Eagles scored three consecutive offenses, completely suppressing the 76ers' counterattack this time.
Ke Yan's timeout adjustment directly extinguished the 76ers' hope of regaining the suspense of the game. Perhaps this confirms that famous saying,
"Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements!"
In the fourth quarter, when there was really no suspense about the game, the host simply brought up the deal that the Hawks had just made with the Pistons and kept discussing whether the talented Serbian boy could be "resurrected" under Ke Yan.
"It's like I have a system and can turn any stone into gold!"
129:109, the Eagles beat the 76ers at home and won the first game in December!
"You need me so much!" After the game, in the locker room, Diaw, who had won the game after his return, shouted to his teammates.
The Frenchman has a cheerful nature, but in the first two seasons, most of the team's resources were not used, and he had no chance to play tricks.
This season is different. He is now a representative figure of the organizational center, a milestone in "scientifically changing basketball". In addition to missing two games, the team has lost two games in a row. Now he has a chance to feel proud!
"Don't be too proud! The boss has traded for Darko, and he is obviously dissatisfied with the insider position. You'd better be careful about your main position!" Josh Smith reminded while applying deodorant to his armpits!
"That's impossible. We are here to win this season. Without me, you can't win!"
Everyone cursed and shook their heads, collectively ignoring this noisy French native!
In the post-game interview, some media also mentioned Ke Yan's key adjustments in the third quarter. This is a question asked by media people who are experienced in watching football.
"The young people of the Eagles are better at attacking. When the offense is blocked, the players' mentality may fluctuate. So I put on the most targeted offensive lineup on the court." Ke Yan explained, "My players
They are too young and they need to face some difficulties in the game and overcome them. I am happy to help them build confidence."
"Milicic didn't appear on the sidelines today. Did he have any special circumstances?" There was not much suspense in the game itself, so the media's focus was also on the deal that the Eagles had just completed.
"Darko has extra training tonight. In the past two years, he didn't get many opportunities with the Pistons, which was a waste to himself. He needs to put in more effort to catch up with his former self.
!I will give him time, and I hope everyone will give him patience and not be too harsh on him!"
Although Ke Yan is strict, he is still reliable when it comes to protecting players. Posey did not perform well some time ago, and Ke Yan once stood up to speak for him; the same goes for Milicic.
...
When he got home, the lights in the living room were still on. Hebe, who was staying at Ke Yan's house, was still reading in the living room. Seeing that Ke Yan was back, he stood up and said, "You're back~"
"Um!"
In this situation, Ke Yan is a little distraught. Maybe his and Wang Lifan's future life will be like this.
"Good boy~" Hebe waved to Ke Yan, motioning for him to come over.
"???" Ke Yan's eyes widened, what's going on, "Good boy?"
"Come here!" Seeing Ke Yan standing still, Hebe shouted.
It's "come here, come here"! Ke Yan breathed a sigh of relief, what kind of empty ear is this!
"Dang Dang Dang Dang~" motioned Ke Yan to sit at the dining table, and Hebe took out his "room fee" from the refrigerator, which was something like two hash browns.
"What kind of cake is this?"
"What kind of cakes! These are fried ice creams! One with cheese and one with matcha!" Hebe emphasized, "It's my expenses for staying at your house."
"Wow~" Ke Yan still likes desserts. He couldn't wait to take one, opened his mouth and took a bite. The skin was crispy, the inside was cold, and the taste was very special.
"Is it delicious?" Hebe said, taking credit. "Actually, it tastes better when it's hot. It has a feeling of ice and fire blending together."
"That's good enough!" Ke Yan praised while eating, "This time we met, I really saw a different side of you. Wow, Hebe is really special!"
"Thank you for the compliment, I'm deeply honored~" Hebe continued to show his liveliness, "I will go back to Treasure Island tomorrow. When I have time in the future, besides Los Angeles, I will have another place to stay."
"As long as I'm in Atlanta, it'll be fine."
After finishing the supper, Hebe left the kitchen to clean up. Ke Yan went directly to the bathroom to clean up, and then went to the study room with his notebook in his arms, where he looked at information and sent and received some documents.
Whether it's "scientist" or "Lightning Earl", for a Chinese, these titles are not easy to come up with. Ke Yan also put in a lot of hard work to have the ability he has today.
There is a saying that goes, "If you want to hide something deep, you have to endure the pain that cannot be hidden"!
...
After settling Milicic, the Hawks have no intention of giving up on "David West." The team led by Larry Sands continues to negotiate with the Hornets management.
However, the Hornets do not intend to contribute to the Eagles' "Young Guards". When it comes to selecting trade partners, they directly ask the Eagles for Josh Smith. This is basically a subtext of refusing to negotiate.
"Make it like if I give you Josh Smith, you can use it!" Ke Yan secretly complained in his heart, Marvin Williams and Josh Smith, isn't this a replica of the Eagles in history?
These two "no three, no four" are put together, and you don't have a top point guard to organize the series. The function is basically 11<2.
"It doesn't matter. West's market price will most likely only fall." Ke Yan comforted Larry Sander in turn.
It's not just a "Paul" issue, but the more important point is the positional conflict between West and Marvin Williams. The Hornets are aiming to rebuild and must give Marvin Williams more playing time. West
No matter how powerful he is, if he is completely contrary to the team's policy, he won't have a chance to show it off.
With Milicic, the Eagles' originally weak inside line has one more head. I don't say what effect he can have immediately, but at least it is a supplement to the team's shortcomings.
After all, he is a defensive insider!
On December 4, the Eagles went away to challenge the Celtics, and Milicic traveled with the team for the first time.
Compared with last season's "luxurious" lineup, the Celtics' star power has declined this season. Antoine Walker and veteran Payton teamed up to go to the Miami Heat to embrace the Sharks and strive for the first championship ring in their careers. The former
All-star big man LaFrentz was on the bench, and Blount, who replaced him, was still a kite man whose main offensive method was shooting.
In fact, losing some of the "fake" gorgeousness is not a bad thing for the Celtics. The Celtics have some qualified potential newcomers. It is not difficult to build the lineup around Paul Pierce. But the team does not seem to realize that Tony Allen
, the potential of players like Perkins was not entrusted with important tasks. The only young person the team reused was Delonte West, a point guard with fairly good scoring ability.
However, Delonte West, who is short in stature and has average organizational skills, is basically the type of point guard Paul likes to play against. Once again breathing the air of "above", Paul performed very bravely, feeling that he was trying to defeat the previous one.
He faced Iverson in every game and didn't score any points.
Averaging 27.6 points per game, Pierce is the sixth-leading scorer in the league. Although he doesn't jump high and doesn't run fast, Pierce's triple threat and scoring skills are basically as high as the floor and the ceiling of a wing!
Not only can he attack with his face to the frame, but he can also hit his opponent with his big butt behind his back. Whether it is Posey or Barnes, they were both in tears after being tortured by Pierce!
The two "Pauls" defeated their respective opponents in the matchup, and the two sides continued to fight until the last quarter of the game.
In the fourth quarter of the game, a second person from the Eagles side stepped forward. Joe Johnson, who was responsible for leading the substitutes at this stage, felt hot after the start of the fourth quarter. He made 6 consecutive shots and devoured Rivers.
Substitute Ricky Davis!
Joe Johnson's outstanding performance helped the Eagles launch a 14:3 offensive wave, opening the point difference to double digits and giving the Celtics no more chances.
In the whole game, Pierce scored 35 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, but he still couldn't lead the team to victory. The Celtics, a veteran team, were sinking little by little!
At 115:104, the Eagles crushed the Celtics in an away game. The team's record reached 13 wins and 6 losses, continuing to rank third in the Eastern Conference!
Very good, one-third of the season goal has been achieved!
