Ke Yan led the team with excellent results and had more say in the team. No, once the Eagles scouting team completed the player report for this season's NCAA competition, they immediately sent a copy to Ke Yan and applied to him.

For suggestions for the next step, let’s see who to focus on.

Since the NBA has reached an agreement with the NCAA, future drafts will no longer accept applications from high school players, and there are restrictions on the age of draft players. Therefore, the situation of underage players like Bynum entering the league has completely become

Historically, apart from international players, teams can only select players from the NCAA.

"Aldridge: Height is 2.11 meters, wingspan is 2.25 meters, and reaching height is 2.79 meters. He is a long man with an excellent wingspan. As an inside player with hands above the knees, Ade has

Excellent athletic ability, proficient offensive skills and excellent shooting touch, his shooting in the mid-range is very accurate; excellent physical fitness allows him to take off easily, and his bounce speed is very fast, giving him an advantage when grabbing rebounds and dunking

.His body is not strong enough and his playing style is not tough enough. He is often weak when facing extremely strong and tough inside opponents."

"Rudy Gay: soft touch, tall wing with long arms, excellent physical fitness, excellent fast break ability; stable mid-range jumper; poor overall view, does not like to fight and draw fouls."

"Randy Foye: He plays with a street ball style, his moves are gorgeous, and he can use unconventional moves to break through opponents. He has excellent physical fitness, excellent running and jumping, strong style of play, and a high shooting percentage.

"

Although the Hawks did not have a first-round pick this season, and even the second-round pick was obtained from the Pistons, the Hawks were a great success in the 2005 draft. The team must hope that Ke Yan can continue his magic and continue to win in the draft.

On "Taobao".

Including Ke Yan and Larry Sands, they have not ruled out the possibility of trading to obtain draft picks.

Under this situation, the scouting team still did not give up paying attention to the popular rookies and gave scouting reports on these few.

However, in Ke Yan's view, among the rookies in this draft, the one who is strong enough to grow into a core player and who is generally more in line with the Hawks is Aldridge, who is the "little basic player" who is officially designated as the top three pick.

Needless to say, there is no need to say much about Roy's strength, but his "ball-carrying core" type of combo guard is more suitable to be paired with a 3D point guard, and the Hawks are not suitable for him.

Gay, a wing singles player, also has certain development value, but he also needs the ball to develop. Historically, the combination between him and DeRozan has been a bit of a "disaster."

Considering this, even if Ke Yan has the intention to "rob" the Rockets, he is more inclined to use the draft picks to make a fuss in the trading market, and consider using lottery picks to sign potential rookies or adding new players to make a zero-to-one exchange to get enough weight.

star.

The Pistons' second-round pick in hand is suitable for Taobao with the No. 1 pick.

Millsap of Louisiana Tech University, P.J. Tucker of the University of Texas, and Barea of ​​Northeastern University are all good candidates.

Except for P.J. Tucker, Millsap and Barea both showed their talents quickly after entering the league. With a little adaption, they can quickly become the team's immediate fighting force.

Ke Yan quickly sent his list to scouting director Bradley, who couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw the list.

"Why would he pay attention to these people?"

...

The day after losing to the Heat, the Hawks lost to the Wizards 113:119 in an away game and suffered two consecutive losses.

The loss to the Heat in the last game was mainly a matter of strength. The Hawks lineup was overwhelmed by the Heat. Ke Yan tried his best, but he really couldn't match this Heat team; and in this game, he lost to the Heat.

The Wizards, actually for the same reason, are unable to guard against the Wizards’ core player Arenas!

Agent No. 0 felt cramped in this game, no matter how he shot, he made 17 of 30 shots in a single game, 4 of 9 three-pointers, and scored 45 points, beating Paul.

In addition to Arenas, Jamison and Butler also performed well. The three musketeers teamed up to score 82 points. The three core players felt good at the same time. The Eagles' defensive end failed to care about one and could only swallow the bitter fruit of two consecutive losses.

"To put it another way, Arenas almost shot 60% from the field, and we only lost by 6 points. This shows that our performance is not bad, right?" After the game, Ke Yan comforted his players.

In this game, it really wasn’t that the players were missing players on defense, were out of position, or made the mistake of marking the ball instead of marking the man. It was entirely because Arenas’ touch “exploded” and he blasted the Hawks.

The team's two lines of defense.

In this case, Ke Yan would not be too harsh on the players. After all, Arenas is the league's top scorer. Even if you let Payton defend at his peak, he can't stop Arenas at his peak.

There is always a time when you are unlucky and catch the opponent's ultimate move.

Who has never stepped in shit in their life?

On December 14, the Eagles faced the Charlotte Bobcats at home and defeated their opponent 108-90, ending their two-game losing streak (15-8).

Although the season has just passed one-third, the league's new Bobcats have once again entered a "training state." Since the combination of Felton, Gerald Wallace and Okafor cannot help the team rise, then

Another year of "disposition"!

Last season suffered the loss of not being thorough enough. The team obviously also took a fancy to Paul and Deron, but the fifth overall pick could only bring Felton. As a result, Jordan's

The North Carolina junior is indeed the weakest among the three outstanding point guards. This season, the Bobcats simply aim for the position of leader of the league.

It’s the new alliance army anyway, there’s nothing to be ashamed of!

Watching Paul play 32 minutes and easily score 208, and looking at Felton, Jordan, one of the team's shareholders, also felt embarrassed.

Although he has fulfilled his wish to become the owner of a team, the God of Basketball still has a long way to go in order to improve the team's strength!

On December 15, the league broke out in the biggest trade since the start of the season. The Pacers officially announced that forward Artest was traded to the Sacramento Kings in exchange for three-time All-Star player Stojakovic.

Artest has performed extremely well this season, averaging 22 points, 6 rebounds and 2 steals per game, which is completely All-Star level. On the other hand, Peja, despite his offensive strength and defensive weakness, has also dropped to an average of 16.5 points per game.

He is also becoming more and more close to a "pure shooter". It should be said that the Pacers' decline in strength is relatively obvious.

But Larry Bird had no choice. The team was very concerned about cultivating Granger, who joined the team this season. Artest, a thorn in his side, was not suitable to stay in the team. Not only Artest, but also Artest.

Other thorns including Stephen Jackson and Bird are planning to trade away!

When there are young players worth cultivating in the team, Ke Yan also feels that Bird's approach is actually not a big problem. Some thorny players can really lead to bad young people! Sometimes the strong man cuts his wrist and stops the loss in time.

bad thing.

"We can also pay attention to Stephen Jackson. He is more suitable for my tactics than James." Ke Yan said to Larry Sander.

Historically, Stephen Jackson was a member of the "Golden State Gang" who created the miracle of the Black Eight, and his status in the team may be second only to Baron Davis. In the series that beat the Mavericks, Stephen Jackson was also the main defender.

Nowitzki's selection created a lot of trouble for the current mvp!

........

The Eagles faced the Memphis Grizzlies at home, and fans entered Phillips Arena early and took their seats.

Highlights of the players' wonderful goals were displayed on the big screen to warm up the game.

When the players came out, the fans began to applaud and cheer. Joe Johnson took the lead, and Paul made the finale, and the fans applauded thunderously.

After the warm-up, the starting players from both sides stood on the court.

Eagles five players: Paul, Joe Johnson, Posey, Josh Smith, Diaw.

Grizzlies five players: Damon Stoudemire, Mike Miller, Battier, Gasol, Wright.

Gasol won the jump ball and the game officially began.

Stoudemire and Gasol played a pick-and-roll in the middle, and Diaw directly chose to switch defense.

Stoudemire went to the right and split the ball in the middle. Gasol squeezed Paul and pushed inside. Josh Smith stepped forward to form a double-team.

Gasol passed the ball, and Wright received the ball in the open position for a layup, but was interfered by the retreating Posey and missed.

"Beep!"

It was an obvious foul, but Posey didn't argue and raised his hand to admit the penalty.

Wright made one of two free throws and the Grizzlies took the lead.

The Eagles attacked, Paul passed the ball to Diaw who was outside, and then ran to the right corner. Joe Johnson was 70 degrees on the right, Posey, and Josh Smith were on the left, and the offensive formation was all stretched out.

Facing Lorent Wright's defense, Diaw took the ball and broke through inside. After reaching the free throw line, he feinted to the side and suddenly made a jump shot from the middle. His touch was very soft and his strength was just right, and he hit the net!

Diaw is good at passing the ball, but he is not without scoring ability. Against most centers, Diaw has the footwork advantage, and he also has a shot that is sometimes smooth and smooth. He can shoot directly to kill the opponent after stepping out of the attacking angle.

The Grizzlies were in position, and Josh Smith tried his best to circle forward to restrict Gasol from catching the ball. He forced Gasol to go from the left to the right without successfully catching the ball.

"If you look more ferocious, you'll catch up with James soon!" Ke Yan thought of a famous scene in the future and joked.

Unable to catch the ball in the low post, Gasol pulled to the left to cover Mike Miller, who ran 70 degrees to the left and received Battier's pass.

The Eagles' defense showed no tacit understanding. Josh Smith and Joe Johnson both pounced on Miller. Miller made a little space and passed the ball to the left, passing it to Gasol who was cutting through. Gasol took the ball.

He took a long stride and went straight to the basket, facing Diaw and dunking the ball into the basket, with a somewhat arrogant expression!

Gasol is a little weak when it comes to top power forwards, but he is a good player. He is tall and has long arms. He looks "skinny" but has strong core strength. He also has comprehensive skills. He can attack in the low post and can also play pick-and-rolls.

There was even a half-shot basket.

The Eagles attacked, Paul brought the ball to the frontcourt, and after the pick-and-roll, he attracted pressure from the Grizzlies inside to shrink the penalty area, and passed the ball to Joe Johnson.

Joe Johnson leaned against Miller on the left side and took a fadeaway jumper. He hit the ball under interference, 4:3.

The Grizzlies attacked. Stoudemire continued to play a pick-and-roll with Gasol in the middle and led to the right, attracting Josh Smith to defend and pass back to the middle. Gasol did not take a shot in the face of Joe Johnson and passed the ball to

On the left, Mike Miller singled out Paul, took a strong step to push away Paul's defense, and hit a shot from mid-range. (4:5)

When he was with the Lakers last season, the Grizzlies' wing group gave Ke Yan a headache. This season, the Grizzlies have sent away Posey and Bunchy Wells, but their strength has not been weakened. Mike Miller has made significant progress.

Has grown into the team's second leading scorer.

Paul controlled the rhythm very well and brought it to the frontcourt to pretend to play a pick-and-roll with Diaw. The moment Diaw was in position, he suddenly burst in the opposite direction, passed Stoudemire, and reached the basket with a realistic fake move.

Got Wright and scored an easy layup! (6:5)

The Grizzlies attacked and passed back and forth but couldn't find any space in the end. They could only hand the ball to Gasol for a single. The attack time was not enough. Gasol barely missed the jumper and missed the basket. The rebound was protected by Diaw. It was a stroke of luck.

Once the ball hits the ball, you can immediately understand everything and create murderous opportunities.

Paul took the lead and drove to the basket. After observing Battier's aggressive defensive jump behind him, he did not force a shot. Instead, he drew an arc and sent the ball to the back from his armpit. Battier did not expect it, and then

He wanted to turn around and commit an offensive foul, but was directly "ridden in the face" by Joe Johnson. (8:5)

Joe Johnson did not take off easily, but once he took off, the height was very scary. His thigh directly hit Shane Battier's chin, causing him to lie on the ground for a long time before being replaced by Eddie Jones.

In the next round, the Grizzlies made a coordination error. Gasol attracted a double team and then passed the ball. Eddie Jones ran sideways to catch the ball and accidentally stepped on the sideline with his foot.

The Eagles attacked, Joe Johnson ran from the side to catch the ball and hit a three-pointer, 11 to 5.

Although Mike Miller's defense is pretty good, Battier is the core of the Grizzlies' perimeter defense. His individual defense is top-notch and his assist defense is top-notch. When he comes off the court, the Grizzlies are even less able to guard the Hawks.

Gasol finally suppressed Josh Smith in the low post to catch the ball with his back, turned towards the baseline, took advantage of his height advantage, forced a turn on the right side and shot, hitting the board and scoring, 11:7.

The Hawks played a high pick-and-roll, and Paul cleverly distributed the ball to help Josh Smith take off in three steps. However, Lorent Wright, who was covering the defense, still interfered with Josh Smith. The latter took a shot under the interference and failed to hit.

Opportunities have been created, but Josh Smith's finishing ability is not stable. There is nothing you can do about it. If you follow Marion's approach to building Josh Smith, you cannot expect the opponent to have Stoudemire's finishing ability.

In the Grizzlies' position battle, Mike Miller relied on Gasol to break free. After receiving a pass from Stoudemire, Diaw switched defenses in time and successfully interfered with Mike Miller's shot. The latter missed the shot.

Wright rushed to grab the offensive rebound, and Josh Smith responded in time. Wright did not choose to force the ball and passed the ball out. Eddie Jones singled out Joe Johnson and missed the jumper.

Diaw got the rebound in the backcourt again, and suddenly a long pass was passed to the frontcourt. Paul was about to leave.

After receiving the ball and rushing into the penalty area, Paul took off with both feet and stretched his body to complete a two-handed dunk, which detonated the entire audience.

Of course, this dunk cannot be compared with Josh Smith who will participate in the dunk contest, but it is more rare and rare.

Although Paul's physical fitness is good and it is not difficult to complete a dunk, he has a calm personality and usually does not open his body to dunk like this.

Not long after the game started, the team had already been hit by the Hawks for two quick counterattacks. Hubie Brown immediately called a timeout and asked the players to improve their offensive efficiency. If the opportunity was not particularly good, don't fight for offensive rebounds and pay attention to returning to defense.

The Grizzlies can firmly rank among the top eight in the Western Conference. Excellent tactical execution is the key. After returning from the timeout, they immediately launched a more efficient offense around Gasol, and gave up the fight for offensive rebounds and resolutely responded.

Defense, not giving the Eagles a chance to make a fast break.

The Eagles immediately adjusted the team's offensive focus. The backcourt double-guns used the pick-and-roll to play singles, which also gave the Grizzlies a headache and they couldn't guard it at all!

In the second half of the first quarter, in order to limit the Eagles' double shots in the backcourt, Hubie Brown arranged double teams and relaxed his defense on Posey and Josh Smith.

The touch that Posey finally found was gone again. He missed two consecutive shots and had a poor touch. Ke Yan immediately made substitutions, with veteran Kittles coming off the bench and replacing Josh Smith with David Lee.

This substitution paid off immediately. In the next round, Eddie Jones double-teamed Paul, who broke through. Kittles received the ball in the right corner and made a steady three-pointer.

On the defensive end, the Hawks consciously let go of the Grizzlies' No. 15 pick Hajim Warrick this season. This player is the same type as Swift, who was just snatched away by the Rockets from the Grizzlies. He has outstanding running and jumping ability and impact.

A very powerful power forward, but his shortcomings are his mediocre golf IQ, height, and lack of confrontation as compared to Swift.

The game continued, and the Grizzlies gradually couldn't keep up with the intensity of the Eagles. At the end of the first quarter, the Eagles led the Grizzlies by 11 points, 37:26.

In the second quarter of the game, Ke Yan sent House, Joe Johnson, Barnes, David Lee, and Milicic. Joe Johnson played more of a ball-holding and feint role on the court, creating more opportunities for David Lee and House.

More opportunities to take action.

Milicic, who has successfully lost weight, finally entered the team's rotation in this game. However, the task of the Serbian genius is to start with defense first, doing some rough work of pick-and-roll, blocking, and protecting the frame. The effect is pretty good. Not only did the Eagles

The offensive efficiency was acceptable, and he also defended the Grizzlies' bench.

In the new season, the Grizzlies have always arranged for Mike Miller to serve as the sixth man to lead the bench. However, in this game, Hubie Brown made personnel adjustments and moved Mike Miller into the starting lineup, hoping to catch the Eagles off guard.

As a result...the Hawks didn't feel much discomfort, but the Grizzlies themselves were in disarray, and the bench lineup failed to lead the offense.

Four minutes into the second quarter, the point difference had reached 17 points. Hubie Brown had no choice but to bring in Gasol and Battier in advance to help the team stabilize the situation and not allow the point difference to widen. However,

Facing the double attack of Milicic and David Lee, Gasol's appearance did not bring immediate improvement to the team's offense, and was unable to change the Grizzlies' shortcomings of poor offense.

In terms of strength, Gasol is indeed up to the standard of a big boss, but in terms of playing style and mentality, Gasol is still a little "soft". When his teammates can't get in, he doesn't dare to attack with double teams.

This character is a perfect match for Kobe!

In the second half of the second quarter, Paul, Kittles, Posey, Josh Smith, and Diaw came on the scene. The Hawks either directly played a run-and-gun game, while the onrushing Grizzlies ignored one or the other, or played a positional battle around Paul, staring at the old flying squirrel.

Let’s fight at this point and continue to widen the point difference.

At halftime, the score was 66 to 42, and the game had almost no suspense.

For a team that has always been accustomed to playing slow-paced offensive and defensive positions, falling behind by 24 points is almost equal to losing. This is not only a point difference, but also means that the team's defense cannot withstand the opponent's impact. Likewise, this type of

The team's scoring efficiency is relatively slow, maybe only 24 points can be scored in one game.

Compared with the team's victory, Ke Yan is more happy that Milicic has slowly integrated into the Eagles team. In the past two seasons with the Pistons, Milicic's aura has been exhausted, but it has to be said that his

Confrontation and defense have all improved, and these are exactly what the Eagles need.

Milicic is also happy about the change in his situation with the Eagles, which also has a "psychological expectation" factor.

Entering the NBA as the second overall pick in the draft, Milicic faced James, Anthony, Bosh, and even Kaman. The outside world was dissatisfied with him, and it was difficult for him to accept it. He was regarded as a "junk contract."

Lost to the Eagles, Milicic's target was some famous parallel importers in history. Now that there are signs of "resurrection", he naturally has more longing in his heart.

The final score was fixed at 114:98. The Eagles stayed somewhat in the second half and did not "humiliate" their neighbors. However, at the same time, they did not let the Grizzlies get the score dangerously close. The final 16-point difference was

Can it be considered “just right”?(16-8)

In the post-game interview session, Ke Yan expressed his affirmation of the performance of the players, especially Paul. During the interview, Ke Yan made it clear about Paul's core status and hoped that everyone would vote for him and send him to the All-Stars.

It is indeed very difficult for a rookie to be selected into the All-Star Game. For example, James did not even make the All-Star Game list in his rookie season. The last rookie to make the All-Star Game in his first year was Yao Ming in 2002. This is a dimensionality reduction attack on voting.

Already.

Leaving aside Yao Ming, the last rookie to be selected as an All-Star in his first year was Tim Duncan, a ruthless man who was selected to the All-NBA First Team in his rookie season!

Historically, there was a "wonderful scene" in this year's All-Star Game. When the Eastern All-Star team was beaten in the first half, they replaced the Pistons' four-man James combination and relied on "defensive counterattack" to defeat the team.

The score was recovered and the game was finally won.

Although the overall strength of the Eastern Conference teams is weak, the Pistons directly recruited four All-Stars, which is more or less... a one-man show.

At present, the Eagles' performance is taking off, and occupying an All-Star position is the minimum. Ke Yan clarified Paul's "core status" in the interview, and is also building momentum for Paul. Even if he cannot be voted into the starting lineup, at least he will not suffer the loss of seniority.

Excluded from the substitute list.
