Since the Hawks were not included in the Christmas game schedule, this game against the Cavaliers became the last game for the Hawks before Christmas.

After playing this game, the team will have a four-day holiday, so the players can spend Christmas in peace.

.

.

Bar?

This matter depends on Ke Yan. Because according to US law, only the afternoon of the 24th and the 25th are legal holidays, so even if Ke Yan arranges training sessions on the morning of the 24th and the morning of the 26th, the players must attend.

Of course, this is legal, but it is very demoralizing. If Ke Yan dares to increase training sessions during the Christmas vacation, I really don't know if Garnett will find Anthony Ressler to "admonish" him.

However, when people and horses are exhausted, they have to find some way to boost their morale. What Ke Yan did was to take charge of an outing for the players at his own expense.

"If you can let me spend Christmas in a good mood, I can arrange for you to travel to the Maldives during the offseason, and I will pay for it."

A travel package to the Maldives costs less than 20,000 U.S. dollars. For the entire team of 14 players, including the coaching staff, it only costs 340,000 U.S. dollars. Even if there are personnel transfers in the future, it will be distributed indiscriminately, and the maximum is only 340,000 U.S. dollars.

More than 400,000. For Ke Yan, who has a net worth of over 100 million, it is not a particularly exaggerated expenditure, but it can win people's hearts.

His operation directly caused the players to raise their arms and shout in the locker room!

"Long live!"

"Thank you, boss!"

"Boss, I want to buy a house, can I get a discount?"

“Where is the Maldives?”

For NBA players who earn millions or tens of millions a year, this gift is not overly expensive.

But no matter what, rewards from coaches always make people happy. Just like in elementary school, a little red flower given by the teacher can make you happy for a long time, for the same reason.

Full of expectations for "sunny beaches" and "beauties in beautiful cars," the Eagles players came on the stage with high spirits and started the game with the Cavaliers players who had the advantage of home court.

After the opening, the Pauls, who played a vigorous game, showed extremely high concentration and immediately established a lead in the score.

With his physical fitness at a disadvantage, Ke Yan reduced the frequency of fast breaks and battled with the Cavaliers. At the same time, he used more frequent personnel dispatch to offset his own shortcomings.

However, the Cavaliers in front of us is the second strongest team in the Eastern Conference, and the Quicken Loans Center is also recognized as the "devil's home stadium" by the league, so it is not that easy to break.

Mike Brown's tactical response ability is average, but he clearly sees the "weakness" attribute of the Hawks at the moment. He adheres to the "me-centered" game policy and arranges higher-intensity confrontations among the Cavaliers to consume the Hawks.

of team members.

As the game progressed, Mike Brown's strategy worked. It successfully dragged the game into a "war of attrition" and the game moved in a direction favorable to the Cavaliers.

Many times, it doesn't take a few mouthfuls of chicken soup or some material rewards to make people's mental will overcome the physical objective reaction. Four games in five days, fatigue of traveling and traveling, and away disadvantage, everything is difficult for the Eagles players.

It was too difficult; coupled with the referee's "superstar whistle" from time to time, James found an opportunity to use the "Eight Steps of the Dragon", making it even more difficult for the Eagles to defend.

Starting from the second quarter, the Hawks were gradually widened by the Cavaliers. Garnett and Joe Johnson were very heavy when running on the court. This was a reflection of their lack of physical strength. Without Garnett's replacement,

With help on defense, the Hawks' outside perimeter was completely unable to withstand James' impact.

Historically, the Pistons were directly pierced by James' explosion in the Eastern Conference finals, making James' first trip to the finals in his career.

If the Hawks can't improve their outside defense and add a point to contain James, then in the playoffs, it's not a problem to just rely on Garnett's defense. What if James comes to the big scene?

Unparalleled", plus the referee's blessing.

.

.

Some things are really hard to say.

Due to poor physical condition, two of the Hawks' Big Three are somewhat weak. Paul lacks enough help and is trapped in a tight siege alone.

Under adversity, Paul continued to try to mobilize the enthusiasm of his teammates by passing the ball, but unfortunately, with little success.

"Paul always delivered 2010 data efficiently and stably when the team needed him to score 40 or 50 points." This is an evaluation given to Paul by many people in later generations. This statement actually makes sense. Paul can play

Key goals in the last two or three rounds, but it was difficult for him to support the team when the team was completely against the wind. He needed someone to help him score.

Good or bad, Garnett is also this type of player. Neither of them can continuously play anserball, which is also a hidden danger for the Hawks.

The final score was fixed at 107:96. The Cavaliers won at home, and the team's record rose to 18 wins and 9 losses, ranking second in the Eastern Conference. They are also the only Eastern Conference team within 5 games of the Hawks.

The Eagles suffered two consecutive losses for the second time this season, and their record dropped to 23 wins and 5 losses.

Two days ago, their record was 23 wins and 3 losses. From the words of the fans, they seemed to be on the verge of 72 wins and 10 losses. But today, no fans have such extravagant hopes anymore. The Eagles have a high probability.

It's just an ordinary strong team in the regular season.

After two consecutive losses, the Hawks' first place in the league is not even secure. After losing four games in a row at the beginning, the Mavericks have now reached 21 wins and 7 losses, and are only two games away from them.

"Although we lost the game, it was not a game with the same starting line, so you don't need to pay too much attention to it. You performed very well, but it's my fault. In this round of schedule, I should take some rest.

." Returning to the locker room, Ke Yan immediately took the responsibility and attributed the loss to himself.

"If I rest Garnett and Joe Johnson in the game against the Heat, at least against the Cavaliers, maybe we can win. This is also a lesson I can learn." Ke Yan patted Garnett on the shoulder.

, said regretfully.

In the next season, if there are similar high-intensity games again, maybe Ke Yan will learn the lessons of this schedule, rotate when it is time to rotate, and strive for better results in a more "economical" way.

“As for travel plans to the Maldives.

.

.

." Ke Yan gave up and said, "We'll see if you can win the next key game."

.

.

.

.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the alarm clock rang, and Ke Yan got up refreshed. Looking at Wang Lifan, who was sleeping on his stomach next to the pillow, with his snow-white back exposed, he felt a surge of warmth.

This is the fifth Christmas Eve he has spent in the United States, and the first Christmas Eve with company by his side. It can even be said that it is not until today that Ke Yan feels that he can truly gain a foothold in the United States, on all levels.

"I'll go out to buy breakfast. You have a good rest." Ke Yan kissed Wang Lifan on the back.

Wang Lifan closed his eyes, nodded slightly as if he was awake in a dream, and raised his hand to wave.

She was really tired last night and kept moaning. Can she not be tired?

After going out to buy breakfast and milk, Ke Yan brought back a few newspapers, which reviewed the three Christmas battles last night.

"The Lakers lost to the 76ers 99:102."

In fact, the league originally intended for Kobe and Iverson to collide on Christmas Day. As a result, Iverson was traded to the Bobcats by the 76ers, which made this matchup less interesting. However, this game turned out to be three Christmas Day games.

In the most exciting game of the game, Ying Guodala faced Kobe's defensive three-point line and beat the Lakers at the last moment of the game, leaving the entire Staples Center in silence.

After trading Iverson for Felton and Gerald Wallace, the 76ers directly started rebuilding around Ying Guodala. The team relied on defensive counterattacks and attacked the basket in a game strategy with a serious lack of outside firepower.

It wasn't a pretty game, but the results actually improved. The key is that young people like Ying Guodala, Gerald Wallace, and Felton played the game with great passion.

"The Heat defeated the Mavericks 92:123."

Winning the championship last season seems to have exhausted the Heat's character in the next few years. This season, the Heat have transformed into a miserable team. First, they defeated the Eagles who had just completed their formation by 44 points in the opening game, and last night they lost in the Christmas game.

He was humiliated in various ways by his Finals opponent, the Mavericks.

The Mavericks are the most popular team so far this season. They suffered four consecutive defeats at the start of the season as if they were possessed by an evil spirit. It was once suspected that the team has not recovered from the shadow of last season's finals defeat. But in

In the subsequent games, the Mavericks turned on the "invincible mode" and scored 23 wins and 3 losses in one go. The momentum was even more fierce than that of the Hawks. After destroying the Hawks in direct dialogue, Nowitzki also firmly

He firmly occupies the first place in the MVP rankings and makes great strides towards his first MVP.

"The Spurs lost to the Suns 87:92."

A coincidence in this year's Christmas Day game was that all three teams playing at home lost. Stoudemire was severely restrained against Garnett, but he had his own advantages against Duncan. He scored again in this game.

He scored a huge double-double of 34 points and 12 rebounds, smashing the Spurs' basket. Jason Richardson, who joined the Suns in the trade, also performed very well, scoring all the goals for the team.

The second-highest score of 17 points gave Nash and Stoudemire enough help.

In comparison, the Spurs seem a bit "old", especially Duncan, who has obviously declined compared to the past.

Judging from the results of the Christmas Day game, the competition among the top three in the Western Conference is still very fierce. The Spurs have not changed much from the Spurs team in history. Duncan's so-called "slump" is more about giving away offensive opportunities.

For Parker, this is a transformation that the Spurs proactively promoted.

The Mavericks and Suns are in completely different situations.

The Mavericks themselves have not changed much, but their nemesis Warriors are missing Richardson. Can Baron Davis single-handedly defeat the Mavericks' backcourt combination? What role can Monta Ellis play?

, it’s hard to say; while the Suns lack Diaw, they have Richardson who is very suitable for Nash. The firepower has been significantly improved. Historically, the Spurs relied on Horry’s dirty tricks to defeat the Suns.

, and now, everything is hard to say.

Ke Yan was reading the newspaper, thinking about the unknown future, when something was suddenly stuffed into his mouth.

"Here you eat the White Rabbit~" Wang Lifan appeared in front of Ke Yan, tore open the candy coating, took out a White Rabbit toffee, and stuffed it into Key Yan's mouth.

Ke Yan chewed toffee and asked: "Do you have time in February? Come with me to Las Vegas."

"What for?" When talking about Las Vegas, the first thing that comes to mind is the gaming tables.

"The league staff informed me that I might be the head coach of the Eastern Conference in the All-Star Game." Ke Yan said with a smile.

In fact, it was just to notify him that he has entered the candidate list, but, considering the Eagles' current outstanding record, and considering the significance of Ke Yan's existence for Stern's development of the Chinese market, unless the Eagles lose n consecutive games and fall out of the

The top three in the Eastern Conference, otherwise this thing is really a sure thing.

"!" Ke Yan has made a new breakthrough in his career. Wang Lifan waved his arms to celebrate him, "Don't you like the All-Star Game?"

Ke Yan really doesn't like watching the All-Star Game. In last year's All-Star Game, he only watched the Dunk Contest, and he only went to watch it because he gave Josh Smith instructions on "sit dunking" in advance.

"If I watch it as a spectator, I will feel that there is no defense, the technical content is very low, and there is nothing to watch except for the crackling dunk. But if it is treated as a party to expand my network, I am still somewhat interested." Ke Yan explained

road.

In the future, Ke Yan wants to buy a team and become the owner himself. This requires him to have a good relationship with most people in the league, including all star players. After all, he is a Chinese. If he wants to join the NBA in an honest way, he must

Times are not that easy.

In addition to personal connections, the most important thing is financial resources. Ke Yan's current net worth is just over 100 million. He has no fixed industry and is still far from acquiring an NBA team. In my impression, in 2010, Jordan was very

For a long time, he was the poorest owner in the NBA, but he also spent a full $270 million to acquire the Bobcats. This was based on the fact that he had his own industry and received hundreds of millions in commissions from AJ every year.

Considering Ke Yan's skin color and background, he probably would have to at least increase his net worth tenfold to buy a not-so-popular NBA team.

At nine o'clock in the evening on December 27, the game between the Eagles and the Nets is about to begin at the Phillips Center. This is the Eagles' first game after Christmas.

Last season, the Nets relied on their division title advantage to overwhelm the Hawks and rank third in the Eastern Conference. They also forced the Hawks and Cavaliers, who were third and fourth in the Eastern Conference, to fight each other in the first round of the Eastern Conference.

As for the Nets themselves, although they relied on their division advantage to avoid strong opponents, they still couldn't beat the Washington Wizards and were eliminated by their opponents 3:4. This also shows that this Nets team is indeed a paper tiger. Kidd,

The three-headed combination of Carter and Jefferson is indeed good, but the inside line is too weak and it is difficult to achieve anything in the playoffs.

The Nuggets and Nets respectively obtained good rankings by virtue of their division championship advantages, but failed in the playoffs, which ultimately led to the NBA's revision of the ranking rules. The division champion can guarantee the top half of the division at most.

area, the top three are no longer locked.

The most happy about this change are the Mavericks and Spurs. Both teams regard each other as their strongest opponents. Now they no longer need to fight each other in advance in the Western Conference semifinals when they are separated from the top two in the Western Conference.

As for the Hawks, they are now the only team in the Eastern Conference and have no chance to enjoy this benefit.

Amid the cheers of the fans, players from both sides entered the court. Jason Collins and Garnett came to the center circle respectively, preparing to jump the ball.

Jason Collins is a player with very average athletic ability. This season, Collins averaged 28.5 minutes per game and only managed 5.9 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.2 blocks.

Except for his height of 2.13 meters and his level defense, Collins is mediocre in other aspects. That is to say, in the Nets, which has the weakest inside strength in the league, he can play the main role, jump ball with Garnett, and Collins basically

Above, he stretched out his hand symbolically, then immediately turned around and returned to defense.

After holding the ball for half the game, Paul gestured to others to cross-cover and move without the ball, and not to stand still in the same position waiting to catch the ball.

Although the inside line is weak, the Nets' overall defense is pretty good, and a very important reason is Jason Kidd.

Kidd's defensive ability on the back line is absolutely top-notch in history. As of now, Jason Kidd has been selected to the All-Defensive Team for six consecutive years. I am afraid that except for "Glove" Payton, no point guard dares to say that he is

His defensive ability is better than that of Jason Kidd in his prime.

Against speedy guards, Kidd will block the opponent's breakthrough route, use his strong body to exert confrontation, and cause mistakes; and if he needs to switch to other positions, Kidd can also slightly support him.

Paul and Garnett played a high pick-and-roll, and Kidd was very smart on the defensive end. He always kept about half a step away from Paul, and kept his body slightly sideways, so that he could be faster when going around the pick-and-roll.

This kind of defensive choice will neither be easy for Paul to take mid-to-long-range shots, nor will he be left behind by his breakthrough. Even if he bypasses the pick-and-roll, and with the presence of Krstic behind him, Kidd can make the best decision immediately.

Correct defensive judgment.

However, Garnett did not cut to the basket immediately after the pick-and-roll. Instead, he took a step to the left, received a pass from Paul, and then stopped for a jump shot!

"Bang! Bang! Swish~"

As the basketball bounced repeatedly on the neck of the basket twice, it finally rolled smoothly into the net.

Garnett directly made a "iron-blooded jumper" from mid-range, and Kidd had nothing to do. This was something that he, a point guard, could not affect.

This is also the reason why only two guards, Payton and Jordan, have won DPOY in history, and the defensive impact of backcourt players only goes so far.

The Nets were attacking. Kidd held the ball across half court. He observed the Hawks' defensive position and found no obvious loopholes. He then handed the ball to Carter and stepped forward to set up a pick-and-roll for Carter.

As Kidd's physical fitness declines, the Nets' ball rights are increasingly concentrated on Carter. Carter's share of the Nets' ball rights has reached more than 26%, second only to Iverson, Kobe, and even

Higher than James and Arenas.

Kidd took the initiative to set up a pick-and-roll. Carter accelerated and broke through Joe Johnson's defense. Facing Paul's replacement, he forcefully pushed away the opponent and then hit a fadeaway jumper.

Among the four major positions, Carter's breakthrough ability is the worst. His movement control skills are very average, and breakthroughs completely rely on his excellent explosive power. This is also the reason why his knee injury is extremely dangerous. But it is also his average breakthrough ability that prompts him to

Carter has developed a stable shooting, especially his three-point shot, which is the most impressive among the four. This is also the reason why Carter can adapt better when he transforms into a role player in the future.
