Chapter 191 The China Derby in 2006 was a little earlier than the previous one

This season's NBA is divided among heroes. The strength between the teams has been "balanced" a lot. After three rounds, the only teams that have maintained a complete victory are the Hawks, Jazz, Suns, Cavaliers, and others such as

Strong teams such as the Spurs and Pistons have suffered their first defeat of the season.

The Spurs' slow start is an old problem; the Pistons have lost their capital and their own strength has declined, so losing is not uncommon.

What really surprised the fans was last season's runner-up Mavericks. They didn't win a game at the beginning of the season and suffered three consecutive losses!

You know, the Mavericks are the strongest team in the new season according to many "brick experts"! Among them, Ke Yan is the representative figure. He has always respected the Mavericks.

At the post-game press conference, Ke Yan was also asked about his views on the Mavericks.

"I don't know what makes everyone so impetuous. Personally, I still regard them as the strongest opponents!" Ke Yan insisted on his opinion.

Mavericks fans online saw Ke Yan's "support" for the team and were a little frivolous: "Be good, practice with the Hawks first. Then come to Dallas in a few years!"

Objectively speaking, after Avery Johnson took office, the Mavericks became much more stable than the "crazy offense" during Nelson's era. The team reached the finals last season and had the best record in team history. Therefore, they are one of the few who do not expect Ke Yan

Fans who coach their own team, Avery Johnson is good enough.

After the press conference, Ke Yan went directly to the parking lot and saw Wang Lifan and Huo Qingshu standing together "automatically and consciously".

"Do you already know each other without my introduction?" Ke Yan walked over with a smile and asked.

"The whole audience is shouting never, it's hard not to recognize him!" Huo Qingshu said sourly.

Ke Yan and Wang Lifan looked at each other and smiled, and introduced: "Huo Qingshu, greenbook."

"It's really special~" Wang Lifan said, "I think I should call you science~"

"Yes, you should be called 'Wang Buong'~"

"o(∩_∩)ohaha~" After joking about their English names, Wang Lifan and Huo Qingshu also became familiar with each other. Ke Yan drove, took the two of them to buy supper, and then sent Huo Qingshu home.

"Actually, Qingshu's appearance is not bad~" Wang Lifan praised him on the way back to the apartment.

"She's the cute type. But I didn't expect her to be taller than you."

It's not that Ke Yan values ​​height more, but that a taller person will have a different perspective when looking at girls. Just like Ke Yan looks at Wang Lifan, the image of Wang Lifan in his eyes is different when he usually stands and looks at her and when he sits down and faces each other when eating.

"Giant lolita!" Wang Lifan used a very precise word.

At the traffic light, Ke Yan stopped and looked at Wang Lifan, "So you're relieved?"

"I wasn't worried at all~"

I've been away from home for a year and nothing happened, let alone now that I'm back?

Wang Lifan knew Ke Yan very well. Apart from being rich and handsome, he was not clingy to other scumbag traits at all.

...

In the fourth game of the season, the Hawks faced the team's first Western Conference opponent in the new season, the Portland Trail Blazers, who acquired Roy and Aldridge in the draft.

When recording "Basketball Park", Ke Yan praised the Trail Blazers' operations in the draft and believed that they were the biggest winners in this draft. However, McMillan's environment in the Trail Blazers was not as smooth as Ke Yan's in the Hawks.

Aldridge, who entered the team as the second overall pick, was suppressed by Randolph and could only serve as a substitute.

Roy's situation is slightly better than Aldridge's. As a senior, he is relatively mature in immediate combat, has excellent passing and control skills, and has a great shooting threat. The role of this type of player on the court can easily be highlighted, and therefore,

Roy has become the team's starter.

In the past two seasons, the Trail Blazers have been trying to wash away their reputation as the "Portland Prison Team" and continue to send away the thorns in the team. However, the teams that accept these thorns are not fools. Looking back,

, in addition to a few rookies selected in the past two years, the Trail Blazers also have mostly mediocre players. The team is relatively weak and was beaten by the Hawks at halftime.

Rebuilding is always like this. Unless you have an incredible "vision" like Ke Yan and can quickly find a suitable team core and then build a team around him, otherwise, it will always have to go through a "long" process before you can rebuild.

See the light again.

At 118:96, with the main players clocking in for the third quarter, the Eagles accepted the victory and won their fourth consecutive victory.

As the Cavaliers lost to the Pistons 84:95 in an away game, the Hawks became the only undefeated team in the Eastern Conference and took the lead.

In a later Western Conference game, the Mavericks lost to the Lakers 87:109 and suffered their first four consecutive losses! Avery Johnson began to face some doubts!

In this game of defeating the Lakers, Kobe scored 62 points in three quarters, destroying the Mavericks from the outside. On the contrary, the Mavericks team only scored 61 points in the first three quarters, which was not as many points as Kobe alone.

....Cuban’s face turned green with anger.

After experiencing such a defeat, Mavericks fans online voiced "We don't want Avery Johnson, we want Kimi", hoping that the team will change its coach.

The Mavericks are really "bad luck" now, and whoever sticks to them is unlucky. Unfortunately, the Hawks have become the one who gets caught.

On November 7, the Hawks, who had a day off, visited the Amway Center to challenge the Orlando Magic, which had soared in strength this season, and suffered their first defeat of the season (4-1).

Faced with the Eagles' defensive strategy of "pinch attack on the line," Stan Van Gundy chose to hand the ball over to Turkoglu. The Turk has height, excellent vision, and superb organizational skills, and can send the ball to the gaps in the Eagles' defense.

Let Josh Smith and Howard complete the offense; and one of the weaknesses of the "line attack" is that it is easy to lose backcourt rebounds. This is also infinitely amplified when encountering Howard and Josh Smith who are good at grabbing offensive rebounds!

Facing his old club, Josh Smith scored a double-double with 21 points and 12 rebounds. He teamed up with Howard to penetrate the Eagles' penalty area. Howard scored 18 points and 11 rebounds. If the Eagles hadn't used "cutting"

"Shark Tactics", and if he had not been accurate in 2 of 6 free throws, he could have achieved the same numbers as in 2010.

For the Hawks, Garnett scored 27 points and 13 rebounds. His performance was actually good, mainly because he could not beat four hands with two fists; Diaw was fouled by Ariza during a layup in the second quarter, fell off the baseline and injured his shoulder, so he left the game.

, his injury was also an important reason for the Eagles' loss.

After an MRI examination, Diaw will miss at least 4 weeks of competition.

Fortunately, this is the beginning of the season, and the team still has a good "error tolerance rate." It just so happens that Diaw played in the World Championships, and his body always has some residual fatigue. It is not a bad thing to take advantage of this period of time to take a good rest!

The Hawks' "golden glory" was broken. One day later, the Jazz finally failed to win again. They were defeated by Ben Gordon at the United Center Arena and suffered their first defeat of the season. Since then, everyone has lost.

The first Chinese Derby of the 0607 season came a little earlier than usual. On November 9, the Eagles team went to Texas to visit the Toyota Center to face the Houston Rockets.

Since the start of the game, the Eagles have achieved a record of 4 wins and 1 loss, while the Rockets have a record of 3 wins and 2 losses. Both teams are in pretty good shape. This time in the China Derby, both the Eagles and Rockets are at a relatively high level.

It was carried out under the state of "full health", which can be regarded as the one that has attracted the most attention in the past years.

CCTV specially sent a front-line reporting team, which started walking around the Toyota Center half an hour before the game started, looking for opportunities to interview Ke Yan and Yao Ming and let them say a few words.

However, Ke Yan, who has always been very polite to CCTV, refused to have any interaction before the game started this time. This time is different from the past. Last season, the Rockets were full of injuries, and the Eagles did not need too much preparation to relax.

It won't matter if Ke Yan cooperates with it; but this season, the Rockets' lineup is still good.

"KG, give me their power forward position, okay?"

Although Garnett is not known for attacking tough situations, he can still choose to match up with Swift or Bowen at will; these two people also cannot provide much help to Yao Ming on the offensive end. Ke Yan also designed a special double-teaming tactic to target

Yao Ming.

The Rockets are weak at the power forward position, but the other two positions are pretty good. Although Mike James did not take away Alston's starting position, he can continue the team's firepower on the bench; Barnes' defensive ability is as good as Batty's

I can't compare, but he focused on defense and three-pointers from the corner, and he found his position correctly.

No one on the Hawks can match McGrady on the outside. If Anthony Parker continues to drag down the team on the defensive end, maybe Ke Yan really needs to put Stevens into the starting lineup.

Garnett won the jump ball and the Hawks scored first.

Paul organized the ball outside the three-point line and waited patiently for his teammates to pull away. Milicic picked and rolled in the middle, and Garnett went to the right corner.

Yao Ming couldn't defend the pick-and-roll, and he was completely giving away points against a top mid-range killer like Paul. Paul wanted to help Milicic improve his statistics, but Yao Ming really couldn't do it, and watched Paul throw and score.

The Rockets attack, the Clippers defend man-to-man, and Paul defends Parker.

McGrady is used to launching attacks in the middle, and Anthony Parker was at a disadvantage when he defended him and couldn't keep up with his pace. Therefore, McGrady did not hand the ball to Yao Ming, but instead made a gesture to ask him to pull out of the penalty area.

McGrady held the ball and charged forward against Anthony Parker, but was blocked by Garnett's defense. Joe Johnson let go of Barnes to double-team. McGrady passed the ball to Barnes, who hesitated for a moment from beyond the three-point line.

Throw, pass to Yao Ming in the corner position.

Normally, Barnes would have taken action. But facing the coach who knew him best and a group of teammates he was familiar with, Barnes was a little unsure and was still "cowarded."

Yao Ming missed the shot after a feint, raised the ball high, and passed it to the running Tracy McGrady, who got rid of Parker in one step and easily scored in the mid-range. (2:2)

The Hawks attacked and continued to use pick-and-roll tactics to torture Yao Ming. Paul and Garnett picked and rolled in the middle, and this time Yao Ming followed.

Paul passed the ball to Garnett, and McGrady came to cover up the defense. Garnett received the ball and relied on McGrady to force a breakthrough and hit the basket. Bowen retreated to the penalty area and tried to block it, but failed to block Garnett and became Garnett.

"Background" for Nate's partitions.

"Beep!" Not only that, the referee also called Bowen Bai for a blocking foul!

Garnett made an extra free throw, 2:5!

He had a premonition that he would have to shoulder more responsibility on the defensive end. In the next round of offense, McGrady did not play singles, but handed the ball to Yao Ming who was asking for the ball in the low post. The little giant pushed Milicic and then used the sign

A unique hook completed the score, making it difficult to guard against!

After gaining weight, Yao Ming's lethality and dominance in the low post have been greatly increased. Combined with Yao Ming's excellent offensive skills, single defense is basically giving away points. However, Yao Ming's physical strength cannot sustain it for too long if the consumption of both offense and defense is maintained.

It was also an individual singles game, and Garnett's methods were much more comprehensive. Pulling to the free throw line and facing Bowen, Garnett easily passed Bowen with a tentative step and a turn, and faced Yao Ming's defense with his fingertips.

With a pick, the ball was passed to Milicic, who was open under the basket, and the latter easily scored a layup. (4:7)

This is why Ke Yan paid such a high price in exchange for Garnett!

The Rockets attacked, McGrady received the ball in the frontcourt, and the others pulled away, giving McGrady a space for singles. He faced the frame and continuously crossed over, changed direction and burst into the middle, but was blocked by Parker. He leaned back to the left and turned to shoot a jumper.

His movements were smooth, and his posture was even more "picturesque." He got out of the shooting space, but his last shot missed the basket due to Parker's interference. The rebound was grabbed by Garnett and held in his arms.

Paul dropped back to catch the ball and immediately ran forward, forcing Yao Ming to turn back and run with him.

After a quick advance, the offense still fell behind. Joe Johnson was wary of a defender like McGrady, who was slender and had no disadvantage for his height. He tried to attack but failed and handed the ball to Paul. The moment Paul caught the ball, he dribbled the ball with his left hand and quickly changed direction and accelerated, passing by

Alston in front of him.

Yao Ming was afraid of losing the basket, so he could only watch Paul hit his second throw in front of him!

Even Duncan couldn't bring the Rockets' power forward configuration, let alone Yao Ming. Ke Yan only slightly targeted the following, but the Rockets couldn't stop him at all. Ke Yan really wasn't optimistic about the Rockets' prospects.

Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady are also really strong. After the position battle started, Tracy McGrady singled out Anthony Parker and forced a breakthrough to throw the ball in.

The Hawks attacked, Paul forced a breakthrough, cut into the Rockets penalty area and sent a return pass. Garnett took a mid-range shot and hit the neck of the basket. In the ensuing rebound fight, Garnett committed a foul, and Milicic took the initiative to claim the foul.

!

Helping the boss carry the knife is a compulsory course for NBA players, and there was nothing wrong with Milicic's approach. However, Yao Ming once again caused Milicic to foul in the next attack, which immediately put the Eagles into a passive position.

Millsap is too short and Mbenga is too slow. The two of them will lose points against Yao Ming, and only Garnett can take the lead.

Nodding, Garnett readily accepted the task and began to switch to "trash talking" mode, mumbling words.

However, Yao Ming's English level may not necessarily be able to understand the deep meaning of Garnett's swear words, right?

(I feel sick to my stomach today and have been having a hard time all day. I hope you can forgive me)
