basketball scientist

He casually opened the notes on Keyan's bedside, flipped through a few pages, and closed them immediately.

To her, it is a heavenly book!

This is not surprising. Ke Yan is a serious academic coach and has his own way of researching and practicing tactics. Let alone her, many coaches in the NBA may not be able to compare with this notebook.

Recorded and deduced.

Huo Qingshu got out of bed and continued to look at Keyan's room. Except for being a little messy, everything else was fine.

On the desk, there are various printed scouting reports and player information. Among them, several are specially labeled. The top column is Garnett, followed by Gasol, West, Qian

Dele, Iguodala... Among them, Garnett's information has the most notes. It is obvious that Ke Yan is very interested in the Wolf King!

Looking at Key Yan's bedroom, one can feel the hard work of Key Yan in his daily work, or the word "hard work" is not appropriate, because Keyan enjoys it.

There was a knock on the door, and Ke Yan's voice came in: "Qingshu, are you awake?"

"Yeah!" Huo Qingshu responded, and Ke Yan opened the door and walked in, holding toiletries and a change of clothes in his hand, and handed them to Huo Qingshu.

"Thank you for last night." Although Ke Yan violated the woman's will and took her home without her consent, Huo Qingshu had to admit that his approach was the best protection for him.

After all the fun, you still can’t drink so much!

Ke Yan nodded and happily accepted Huo Qingshu's thanks, "Wash up and come out for breakfast."

After pulling open the shopping bag, there were actually women's underwear in it. Huo Qingshu blushed and pushed Ke Yan out of the bedroom before entering the bathroom: "I don't want to eat."

"How did he know my size?" Although they were all relatively conservative styles, Huo Qingshu couldn't help but scolded Ke Yan as a "shit" in his heart!

While I was drunk, I definitely touched it a lot!

Ke Yan had no time to worry about Huo Qingshu's speculation about him. Just now, he got bad news. Josh Smith was severely punished by the league with a "two-game suspension and a fine of 10,000 US dollars" for a flagrant foul against the Cavaliers.

!

There are "decapitation" style flagrant fouls in the league every season, but there has never been such a severe punishment. When the official penalty announcement came out, Eagles fans immediately began to complain crazily.

"You're only suspended for two games, it's too light! To assassinate the emperor is a serious crime against the nine clans!"

"LeBron James is David Stern's biological son!"

"Same game! Varejao's actions against Paul were not punished subsequently? It is truly a famous double standard!"

"Godfather, love me again.jpg"

Soon, more and more fans joined the ranks of complaints. Fans are not blind. Since entering the league, everyone can see the "whistle" care James has received in the past few years, and it has become more and more excessive, so "James

The "black" group is also getting stronger, and there is a situation where "Zhan James is in trouble, and everyone praises it." This wave of naked bias by the league has many fans who have serious opinions on this, and they have criticized the league's behavior of protecting the calf.

However, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, to impose such a severe punishment on the second home team of Chinese fans is obviously a carefully considered decision by the league, which is determined to beat the Eagles and Ke Yan.

Ke Yan has his own Chinese market. He has been a representative of "offensive play" since he took charge of the Eagles, which coincides with Stern's policy of "encouraging offense". Therefore, for most of this season, the Eagles are still relatively "popular" in the league.

"pet".

But no matter how many buffs you have stacked on you, "making an enemy of James" is unacceptable, not to mention a flagrant foul. The league is obviously using Josh Smith as a model, killing the chicken to show the monkey!

The Eagles filed a complaint immediately. Even if they knew it was useless, they still had to show a posture of "striving for justice." This was not only for Josh Smith to see, but also for other opponents.

The league needs to protect James, and the Hawks also need to protect Paul! Although Josh Smith's actions were not instructed by Ke Yan, Ke Yan hopes that there will be such a villain in the team and show the attitude of the team, "If you dare to touch my core, I will

"Destroy your boss", I won't tell you that "every wrongdoer has his own debtor," and if Bowen dares to stretch his legs, I will kill and injure Duncan! It's not that I am malicious to Duncan, but it is a deterrent to the people behind Bowen!

At the same time, at Ke Yan's strong request, the team paid a fine of 10,000 for Josh Smith.

Ke Yan has not renewed his contract yet. At this time, as long as the demands are not too excessive, the team will try their best to satisfy him.

...

On January 31, after spending four days in Atlanta, Ke Yan led the team to Toronto to challenge the Raptors.

This game was originally a "welfare game" for the Hawks during the Spring Festival. The Raptors, who are weak and have obvious lineup flaws, obviously do not have the strength to compete with the Hawks. It can even be said that, except for the power forward position, the Hawks

All other positions are fully dominant.

However, this game in the league made Ke Yan realize what "home is like an away game, and away games are like a cemetery." In the whole game, they were called for 38 fouls. Milicic, the starting center who replaced Josh Smith, played in three quarters.

was ejected. The Raptors got a lot of free throw opportunities and got to the free throw line 48 times.

There is no evaluation of the strength of European players such as Calderon and Garbajosa, but their basic skills are really good and their free throws are really stable. The Raptors team surrendered a free throw shooting rate of 43 out of 48 free throws.

The Hawks were held back at the free throw line.

The referee held off for three and a half quarters, and the Eagles almost couldn't hold on. Fortunately, David Lee and Kittles on the team's bench stood up and helped the team hold on to the score without letting the score go.

The Dragons opened the point difference to double digits.

In the second half of the fourth quarter, the referee's conscience discovered that the Eagles only felt that the normal whistle blowing was "the end of the pain". When Paul and Joe Johnson broke into the paint and heard the whistle blowing, they felt that the air was much sweeter!

The team worked hard in the last half of the quarter and launched a 19:7 attack wave, reversing the game.

97:105, the Eagles captured the Dragons away from home and won three consecutive victories (32-15).

In this game, Paul continued to play steadily, scoring 20 points, 8 assists and 3 steals. Joe Johnson also had 19 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists. David Lee came off the bench and scored 14 points and 9 rebounds, a near-double-double.

The "surprise" that the Eagles won in this game.

After the game, Ke Yan did not speak out again about the referee's call, but focused the interview on praising the players on the team.

"I like Chris's performance very much. As a rookie, it is not easy to maintain stable performance and continue to improve in a long season. He is like Tim Duncan, his performance is consistent, and I like this very much.

A first-class player. I feel quite proud that the Hawks were able to quickly find such a core player during their rebuilding process."

After getting the All-Star starting spot, Ke Yan hopes to help Paul get a place on the All-Star team.

Compared with "All-Star Starting", this one is slightly easier because the candidates participating in the selection are more professional and relatively more focused on practical information.

However, as long as people make the selection, there must be a "jianghu", which needs publicity and momentum to make more people pay attention to Paul's performance.

The league also has an unspoken rule that when the ratings are similar, no regrets will be left to the veterans. Therefore, when young players and veterans are similar in all aspects, the impression score of the older players will often play a greater role.

Of course, the most important thing is the team's performance. For example, leading the team to 50 wins is a good gimmick.

Ke Yan appointed Paul as the core of the team, and the league is also "helping him." For example, if the Hawks have only one Paul and one All-Star, then Paul's "single-core leadership" will be more convincing.

In the competition for the All-Star team's backup center position, the league gave the seat to Ben Wallace, while Diaw was a rare loser.

Dior had already had a premonition about this and was not too sad.

After all, he is a "crooked nut", and in the direct dialogue between Dior and Ben, Ben was able to clearly suppress Dior, making the impression very impressive.

In addition to Ben, Rasheed Wallace and Billups were selected for the All-Star team as expected. "Mask Man" Hamilton became a victim of the butterfly effect caused by Ke Yan and failed to enter the substitute lineup.

Other substitute players in the Eastern Conference include Carter, Arenas, Dwyane Wade, Paul Pierce, and Chris Bosh.

Among the Hawks, Paul is the only one who needs to play in the All-Star Game. Those who need to take over for Houston include Josh Smith (dunk contest, rookie game), Kittles (three-point shooting contest), David Lee (

Rookie Game), Paul himself also has to participate in the skills challenge. The Eagles' uniforms also have a strong presence in the All-Star Game.

Ke Yan doesn't pay much attention to the All-Star Game, but he is willing to let the players work harder for these honors. He even "advised" Josh Smith to win the dunk title and came up with the idea of ​​"sitting dunks."

"Sitting buckle?" Josh Smith got excited upon hearing this. This design seemed quite interesting.

In fact, for NBA "birds and beasts", the difficulty of participating in the dunk contest is not the difficulty, but the creativity. In the dunk contests for many years later, "leap" became the main theme. At first, it was the little potatoes leaping over the old potatoes, and then later

Gerald Green leaped over the gambling table, and "Kryptonite" Nate Robinson leaped over "Superman" Howard. Even at this time, they were still valuable. Behind them, Griffin leaped over the "front of the car" and Jeremy Evans leaped over.

Oil paintings are becoming more and more boring...

It wasn't until LaVine appeared that the Slam Dunk Contest regained its vitality. And his peak duel with Gordon forced the opponent to become the strongest dunker in history. Gordon's sit-down dunk was the history of the Slam Dunk Contest in Ke Yan's heart.

First dunk! When discussing tactics, Ke Yan said there would be no repetitions in an hour, but when discussing the technical essentials of dunking, Ke Yan's eyes went dark and he could only explain in detail the actions in his memory.

"..." Scratching his head, Josh Smith felt that this action was so difficult that he could explode!

But if it can be completed, it will definitely be a perfect dunk! It can even become a classic scene in the history of the dunk contest together with Jordan's free throw line jump and Carter's windmill.

"You can practice, but pay more attention to safety!" Ke Yan warned before leaving the training hall.

...

In the last two games before the All-Star Game, the Hawks were in poor form and lost to the Celtics and Miami Heat, suffering a losing streak (32-17).

Despite this, the overall winning rate is still the best record of the Eagles in more than 20 years, and it is based on the fact that they just had the worst record in history last season, quickly completed the reconstruction, and reached the current position. Eagles fans have no regrets.

He was still dissatisfied and still called it the "core of team building" on the forum.

Forget it, they have a keen eye for picking up pearls in the draft, and they have dug up gems in the free agent market. In their transactions with other teams, the Hawks also seemed to "rob" the Rockets. Due to injuries, the Rockets' record plummeted, and they fell directly to the bottom of the league.

Having reached the 13th position in the Western Conference, the draft pick that was originally evaluated as a "lottery edge" in the trade may now enter the top ten or even the top eight, which makes everyone in the Hawks team excited.

Fans even coined the meme "outsourcing bad business" to praise the team's operation.

The rave reviews gave Larry Sand the hope of competing for "Best Manager". When the players went to Houston to participate in the All-Star Weekend, or went home to enjoy the weekend, Larry Sand was still working hard to find a way to deal with it.

Juwan Howard’s garbage contract will give him extra points.

It is not easy to deal with this contract, because after Howard came to the Hawks, the market went down. Originally in the Rockets, he was at least an important substitute, averaging 26 minutes per game. Use the term "high salary but low energy" to evaluate more

Suitable. But when he came to the Eagles, he averaged 6 minutes per game. He was even ranked after Hayes in the draft, and his contract was a complete garbage.

In the league, there are usually three ways to deal with junk contracts. One is to trade them with draft picks/potential stocks, just like the Rockets cleared Juwan Howard to the Hawks; the other is to wait until the contract reaches the last season and become a

"Expired contracts", the transaction value will increase; the third is junk contract exchange, everyone changes their luck and can use the waste, just "Hello, I am good, everyone is good", no one can use it well, no one loses anyway.

Ke Yan is planning to save up chips for a big deal, and it is impossible to sacrifice the team's potential stocks and draft picks to clear out Howard, and Howard's remaining three and a half years of garbage contract has blocked the second path. The Eagles' only option

Just talk about "garbage swap" with other teams and try your luck.

Previously, the Trail Blazers proposed using Ruben Patterson to trade Juwan Howard, which was actually a good idea. Patterson could also strengthen the team's relatively weak wings. However, Ke Yan did not agree because of the team's atmosphere. Larry

Sander had to consider other candidates.

What is the most efficient way to find junk contracts in the NBA? Open the New York Knicks player list, and at least half of the players in it are "salary > strength"!

Larry Sander did the same thing, and then quickly found a player who matched Juwan Howard in all aspects.

Jerome James! The "insider pillar" of the dark horse SuperSonics last season, relying on his performance in the contract year, Jerome James defrauded a 5-year, 30 million contract from the Knicks, and then this season began to fail.

He became a "donut boy", eating donuts every day, and his figure also looked like a donut.

He averaged 9 minutes per game, 3 points, 2 rebounds and 2 fouls. He was so bad that neither Isaiah Thomas nor Larry Brown bothered to activate him and put him on the trade market in the first year of the contract.

Compared with Juwan Howard's contract, Jerome James's contract is one year longer, and the "legacy" is deeper. The advantage is that he is slightly younger, not yet 31 years old, and is the most precious blue-collar inside man in the league, with physical strength and

The strength is pretty good.

Before calling Isaiah Thomas, Larissander told Ke Yan about his trading plans as usual and asked for his opinion.

Mainly I want to ask Ke Yan whether he has the confidence to activate Jerome James. If Ke Yan completely treats him as a water dispenser, then he might as well not trade! At least Howard's contract is one year shorter, and the old guy has a good personality, so yes

Tactful on the inside and tough on the outside.

"Jerome James..." Ke Yan took a breath and stretched out his hand to rub his temples.

"Waste utilization" is like this. If you give others a "junk contract", they will definitely not give you any good goods.

"To be sure, he is also a high-paid but low-performance player. But at least he has the ability to fight and have the strength. And in terms of transaction value, he is at the lowest point now, and it may be able to rise slightly in the future, while Juwan Howard can only

It keeps falling," Larry Sander analyzed.

In terms of type, the Hawks have David Lee, who can almost "cover" Howard, and Jerome James serves as a human shield. The Hawks do not have such a player. When they face the Heat, they will send him up as cannon fodder.

, should be able to consume 5% of O'Neal's physical strength, right?

If it's suitable, use it. If it's not suitable, promote Hayes to be the fifth inside man. Ke Yan doesn't have much objection. And Larry Sander has a saying that makes sense. From the market feedback, Jerome James at least has

With a 1% appreciation possibility, the young Juwan Howard can only continue to depreciate!

Ke Yan didn't have much objection to the transaction, and Larry Sander immediately contacted Isaiah Thomas. After hearing the proposal, the other party hurriedly agreed, fearing that Larry Sander would regret it.

There are two types of general managers in the league. One is like Larry Sands, who wants to do his job well; the other, like Kupchak and Isaiah Thomas, wants to keep his position and rights first. Thomas

After spending a lot of money in the summer and signing Jerome James with a high salary, the other team performed in a mess and slapped Thomas in the face. If he were sent out earlier, others would forget about his mistake.

As for Juwan Howard, the contract the Magic randomly gave me, what does it have to do with Isaiah Thomas?
