In the first preseason game, the Eagles faced their old rival Indiana Pacers at home. This was also the first "unofficial appearance" of the new Eagles at the Phillips Center.

Ke Yanxue hid four players who participated in the World Championships. Paul, Joe Johnson, Diaw, and Milicic all sat off the court wearing suits.

Although several people said that the problem was not serious, Ke Yan knew the importance of limiting playing time. There is a terrible injury called stress fracture, which is caused by fatigue.

Chinese fans will be very familiar with this injury in the future. Yao Ming's career ended early because of this injury. It actually had nothing to do with Kobe's collision.

As for why Yao Ming became ill due to overwork, it has nothing to do with what fans say: "The national team has too many miscellaneous games, so fuck Yao Ming." The main reason is that Van Gundy asked him to gain weight significantly to increase his damage, and Adelman couldn't control himself on the court.

Time waits.

This is one of the reasons why Ke Yan didn't let Paul gain weight carelessly during his rookie season.

In the preseason, there is no need for Ke Yan to take such risks. Even at the beginning of the regular season, Ke Yan plans to load-manage the players and control their playing time.

This season, the team's goal is to win the championship, so it cannot consume too much in the regular season. At the same time, it must control the status of the players. This is also a new test for Ke Yan.

After the incident at the Palace of Auburn Hills, the Pacers' situation has continued to decline in recent years. In order to create a better growth environment for second-year Danny Granger, Larry Bird made adjustments to the team's lineup in the summer.

The team first let go of the Serbian Stojakovic who was out of tune with the team. Then it reached a big deal with the Warriors, using "Martial Saint" Stephen Jackson and "European King" Jaskovich

Josh Powell called up Troy Murphy Jr. Dunleavy from the Warriors.

To simply evaluate this transaction, it is to exchange a very capable thorn and two additional ones for two mediocre "good guys".

However, within one season, the team lost Artest and Stephen Jackson, and the Pacers' immediate combat effectiveness was obviously declining. Moreover, even if more space was made for Granger, he alone

You can’t fill two holes, right?

Facing the Pacers, whose strength was seriously declining, the Hawks hid three main players and still had the upper hand in the game. Garnett, who had the starlight of the home team and was high-spirited, obviously suppressed the absent-minded O'Neal; returned to the United States

, Anthony Parker showed the results of his "return from school" in front of his "hometown elders"; the team's two rookies, Gibson and Millsap, also performed after a short period of adaptation. This game was a great surprise to Eagles fans.

It’s all a surprise!

At 92:81, the remnant Eagles won at home and won in this "unofficial debut"!

After the game, Garnett, who played 23 minutes and scored 13 points and 7 rebounds, accepted an interview with the media and expressed his excitement about coming to play for the Hawks.

"Yes, I am very excited about the arrival of the new season. This is the first time in my career that I am not playing in the NBA as a Timberwolves player. I was a little uncomfortable at first, but I quickly found the feeling of playing here again. We

Some players got a rest because they participated in the World Championships and needed a rest. I look forward to playing with them early, but I accept Kimi's arrangement because our ultimate goal is the championship!" You can see Garnett's mood.

Yes, Baba told reporters a lot.

It is normal for a veteran like him to look forward to the new season. After all, this season is his best opportunity since entering the NBA!

From the coach to the core, everyone is saying that if you want to compete for the championship, you must show a level of concentration that matches the championship. In the locker room after the game, Ke Yan criticized the team's defense on the wings. What are the problems in this game?

, on the defense on the wing, Anthony Parker could not keep up with Granger's off-ball movement. He watched his opponent make 7 of 11 shots and scored a game-high 16 points.

Although he has great potential, Granger is currently not among the top ten small forwards in the league. If he can score in front of Anthony Parker, what should he do if he meets James? Will he explode on the spot?

In the second game of the preseason, the Hawks faced the Grizzlies, who were in a "confusion period."

Gasol's injury in the World Championship disrupted the Grizzlies' team building plan. Although they were reluctant, the management headed by Jerry West knew very well that in the upcoming 2007 draft year

At the time point, instead of continuing to work hard this season, it is better to give up this season to fight for a high-ranking draft pick and get Oden. Durant has a bright future, but to say the least, if he did not get this pair of "peerless players"

One of the "double pride", Horford and Yi Jianlian are also expected to become Gasol's suitable inside partners.

Without Gasol, the Grizzlies are full of flaws. The most reliable ball-handling point on the offensive end of the team is actually Mike Miller. Battier, who has a very poor ball-handling ability, is also forced to shoulder a considerable amount of ball-handling duties.

Quan. Although the Grizzlies did a pretty good job defensively, it was really difficult for a team that was "poor on offense" to destroy the team's only reliable offensive point.

In fact, if the Grizzlies now have a good point guard, they can use the run-and-gun tactics. The key problem is that their point guard is Atkins, a point guard who has good personal offense but basically no organizational skills.

With the help of such an opponent, the Hawks practiced various supplementary defense and assisting defense tactics around Garnett. Ke Yan called all the timeouts and continued to explain the essentials of defense to the players. His professionalism shocked the Grizzlies home commentator.

"Brother, you made a mistake. This is a preseason game, not a playoff game."

Tactical drills, regardless of occasion!

Not only this game, but also in the next few preseason games, Ke Yan has been debugging the team's defensive tactics.

Although the personnel is not uniform, under the careful polishing of Ke Yan and Snyder, everyone can see that the Eagles' defense is slowly taking shape.

Under the premise of retaining the lineup, the Eagles achieved 4 wins and 3 losses in the preseason. They still won with two shots in the backcourt. Several rookies also contributed their performance, which brought surprises to the fans.

.

Everyone also wants to believe that the Eagles' slogan of "fighting for the championship" is not just talk!

.......

Before the start of the regular season, the NBA officially launched the first phase of the strength rankings. The Hawks ranked fourth, behind the Heat, Spurs, and Mavericks, and ahead of the Suns and Pistons.

The combination of Yao and Mai has returned, and the Rockets have reached seventh place. Last season, the Rockets performed poorly, and Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady suffered minor injuries. In the summer World Championships, Yao Ming's dominance remained the same; in addition, the team's point guard position was supplemented.

With Mike James as the third scoring point, Matt Barnes has also been trained at the small forward position, and Bunchy Wells is on the bench. The team's configuration is much more balanced. The only weakness is the power forward position.

.

Being able to create such a lineup with limited resource allocation, Carroll Dawson's performance deserves praise, and it also gained him some impression points. The draft pick traded to the Hawks last season was converted into the No. 8 pick.

, Dawson was scolded a lot for this matter!

On October 31, the Heat's home opener, the Hawks were appointed as witnesses for Heat players to receive championship rings.

Under the leadership of Ke Yan, the entire Hawks team stood around the bench, watching the fans cheering as the Heat players received their championship rings.

Normally, during the home team's award ceremony, the visiting team's players would usually stay in the locker room and wait until the award ceremony is over before playing again. But Ke Yan did not do this. He let the players witness this scene with their own eyes, just to stimulate them and perform better.

.

"Behind happiness must be sadness, but next time, the championship trophy may have to change its owner!" The success aroused the fighting spirit of the Eagles, and Ke Yan once again encouraged the team.

This is not just a matter of words. This season, the Eagles have the strength to win the championship!

The players are warming up and the game is about to begin.

This season, the Hawks have received 16 live broadcasts in the United States, ranking fourth in the league, second only to the Heat, Mavericks, and Lakers, and the same as the Spurs and Cavaliers. At the same time, they have received 41 broadcasts in China, only

Second to Rockets.

Zhang reasonably introduced the Hawks' starting lineup: "The Hawks used a lot of chips in the summer to trade for Garnett, the Wolf King, which was a big upgrade to the lineup. They lost Josh Smith and James Posey in the transaction. The team

We hired a player from Europe, Anthony Parker, who performed well in Europe last season."

In addition to NBA, CCTV also broadcasts CBA. Although it also broadcasts the European Basketball Champions League, almost no one pays attention to it. Anthony Parker is almost a top 3 star in Europe. Zhang Lili only uses the word "performing well" to describe it, which is obviously a bit unprofessional.

Already.

"The Eagles insist on using Diaw as the starter in the interior. Neither he nor Garnett can compete with O'Neal in the interior. Maybe coach Ke Yan still wants to play against each other in the opening stage," Yoga said.

"Yes, we all know that Ke Yan is a coach who has his own tactical ideas and will not change them at will. He would rather attack O'Neal's characteristics on the offensive end than use blue-collar insiders to defend O'Neal." Zhang

Reasonable continued.

Whether it's football or basketball, this is also a problem with CCTV's commentary. The characters are all in facial makeup. When it comes to the Scimitar, it's Beckham. When it comes to countering offside, it's Inzaghi. When it comes to Ke Yan, it's small ball offense. But he uses

The three highs tortured Duncan!

A jump ball between O'Neal and Garnett, two inside superstars with completely opposite styles, ended with Garnett winning and the game officially began.

Paul dribbled the ball across half court and handed the ball to Garnett who was on the free throw line. Then the team spread out, with Paul and Diaw on the left, Joe Johnson and Anthony Parker on the right. Garnett held the ball and faced the frame.

One-on-one with Haslem.

Garnett took a step to the right, attracting the opponent's center of gravity to shift. He hit the ball with his right hand and redirected it with his left hand. He flexibly moved out of the way and made a sudden stop to make the first NBA goal of the season. 2-0.

.

The audience at the American Airlines Center erupted in boos. They believed that such a meaningful goal should be scored by the home team.

The Heat started an offensive attack. After the formation was spread out, O'Neal's solid pick-and-roll created a breakthrough opportunity for Wade, and the Flash forcibly cut into the Eagles' penalty area.

Garnett changed defense in time, and Joe Johnson also bypassed the pursuit, forming a double-team. Wade quickly distributed the ball to the center and gave it to O'Neal who was left open.

O'Neal catches the ball at the free throw line. This is not his offensive area. When he was young, he could push away the defense and hit the basket in one step. Now that he is older and lacks the explosiveness of his youth, he could push away Diaw and Garnett's in one step.

A pincer attack ensued.

O'Neal hesitated for a moment and did not take a shot, passing the ball to Wade who was outside the three-point line.

There was not much time left to attack. Wade dribbled the ball to find a rhythm, and then forced Joe Johnson to stop and shoot a jump shot. Garnett steadily picked off the rebound, and Paul came back to catch the ball. He did not start the fast break immediately.

Paul dribbled the ball across half court and passed it to Garnett, who was asking for the ball in the low post. The latter leaned on Haslem with his back, pretended to pose a few times, and then completed the pass-and-run coordination with Joe Johnson. The latter ran away by running back.

Wade's defense was blocked, Haslem's defense was attracted and passed back to Garnett, and the Wolf King made a pull-up shot from mid-range!

"Beautiful! This is Garnett's value, this is the offense that Ke Yan wants!" Yoga shouted excitedly.

Playing pick-and-rolls exposes O'Neal's weaknesses, so let him attack Diaw in the low post. Williams hands the ball to O'Neal. Garnett's timely double attack makes the Sharks very uncomfortable. It's a good fight under the basket. Although every confrontation

O'Neal was dominant, but O'Neal's own offensive rhythm was also greatly affected.

In last season's finals, O'Neal averaged 13 points and 11 rebounds per game, and his performance was really not good. Although there are two muscular men in Dampier and Diop who can really stand up, there are still not many muscular men that O'Neal has seen when he was young.

?It’s not like he was beaten every minute! The only explanation can only be that O’Neal’s decline is really huge.

It just happened to be overshadowed by Wade's progress!

After brewing for a long time, O'Neal's forced shot failed to score the ball due to interference. Garnett once again grabbed the rebound before O'Neal and saw the opportunity to send a pass.

Paul caught the ball, used a change in dribbling rhythm to get past Peterson's defense, took off early, leaned on Wade behind him, and hit a mid-range shot. 0:6.

Attacking around O'Neal's obvious advantage was frequently blocked, and the Heat had a bad start. In the following round, the Hawks suddenly launched a pincer attack on the line, but Wade accelerated the breakthrough.

After Wade attracted the defense, he passed the ball to O'Neal under the basket. O'Neal was about to "dominate the throne", but his increasingly sluggish movements found another opportunity for a foul... Diaw hung one hand on

On O'Neal's arm.

After failing to dunk, O'Neal was so angry that he pushed Diaw after landing. The Frenchman staggered to the ground, raised his arms, and gave O'Neal a French military salute.

"..." Others have surrendered, so the referee can't turn a blind eye, right? O'Neal received a technical foul and watched Diaw make a free throw, feeling even more angry.

"Boom!"

"Whoosh!"

O'Neal made one of two free throws, which finally helped the Heat break the 0-point deficit. However, before O'Neal could return to the midline, the Hawks had already passed halftime.

In the 4-on-4 opportunity in the frontcourt, the cooperation of Joe Johnson and Garnett attracted a double-team from the opponent, and then passed the ball to the unattended Anthony Parker in the corner. The European king hit his first 3-pointer in the corner after returning to the NBA.

.

1:10, this is a nightmare start for the Heat. Although Pat Riley knew that the Hawks would be difficult to play in the new season, he even thought about the possibility of losing this game, but he never thought about it.

The team will be beaten so badly!

Especially O'Neal's condition is really bad!

Pat Riley's face was livid on the sidelines, and the Heat players felt his anger. Thinking of the team's terrible training volume after Pat Riley was angry, the players on the court were 120% energetic. They would rather

He tried his best to fight with the Eagles, but he didn't want to accept the baptism of Pat Riley's training class.

The Hawks continued their double-teaming tactics. Whether it was Wade or Williams, there was room for one step outside the three-point line. This was Ke Yan's intentional arrangement. Both Wade and O'Neal had to encounter the Hawks in the paint.

The team's stronger defensive strength targets the Heat's weakness of three-point accuracy.

"Bang!" Williams' attempt ended in a strike. Wade grabbed the offensive rebound and dared to score the ball before Diaw could defend and caused Diaw to foul.

"Ouch~~~" Getting up from the ground, Wade roared twice and high-fived his teammates one after another to show encouragement.

But scoring points with such difficulty is not the way to win. It is obvious that the Heat's offense is very difficult.

When the Eagles attacked, Paul and Garnett played off-ball coverage on the left, ran and received a pass from Joe Johnson, which attracted Haslem to switch defense, and passed the ball to Garnett who was cutting through the air.

White Chocolate was unable to stop Garnett from making an air cut and was completely squeezed away. Garnett took the ball and took three steps to score a dunk with one hand before O'Neal could defend, 12:4.

Pat Riley finally requested a timeout. In the first four minutes, the Hawks played whatever they wanted. If they didn't make adjustments, the Heat would collapse at the start.

For the Eagles, Ke Yan stood up and took turns high-fiving the players to celebrate.

Garnett smiled very happily. At the beginning of the game, he had already scored 6 points and 3 rebounds. He had already formed a tacit understanding with Paul and Joe Johnson. More importantly, he found that O'Neal had become so weak!

(The weather is getting colder, the workload has increased, sorry for the late update)
