Jerry West, Bobby Webster (General Manager of the Rams), and Larry Sands are not the kind of people who repeatedly delay the progress of the transaction for the sake of three walnuts and two dates. After the transaction parties reach an agreement, the transaction will be completed soon.

Sign the document and submit it to the alliance.

On January 4, local time in the United States, when all teams in the league were conducting game training in an orderly manner, Xu Yi, who worked for ESPN, immediately released information about the three-party transaction, announcing that the Eagles officially signed a contract with the Grizzlies.

, the Menglong team reached a three-party deal.

In this deal, the Hawks sent Anthony Parker, Millsap, Lucas III, a first-round pick in 2007, a second-round pick, and two first-round swap rights in 2008 and 2009 to get Battier.

Before fans could discuss the authenticity and operability of this news, Yahoo Sports' special reporter Woj immediately followed up on the news report and disclosed more details of the transaction.

The specific trading plan is that the Grizzlies will send Battier to get Nesterovich, Millsap, P.J. Tucker, Lucas III, the Rams' first-round pick, and the Hawks' 2007 second-round pick.

Round pick, first-round swap rights in 2009.

The Hawks sent Anthony Parker, Millsap, Lucas III, a first-round pick in 2007, a second-round pick in 2008, and two first-round swap rights in 2008 and 2009 to get Battier.

The Menglongs sent Nesterovich, PJ Tucker, and the 2007 first-round pick to acquire Anthony Parker, the Hawks' 2007 first-round pick, and the right to swap the 2008 first-round pick.

In this big three-party trade, in order to acquire Shane Battier, the Hawks not only sent away the team's starting small forward and inside potential, but also "locked" all the team's first-round draft picks for the next three years.

, it can be said that it is not a big gamble! It also made fans curious about Shane Battier.

Shane Battier, who is he?

For Chinese fans who focus all their attention on the Rockets and Hawks, this name is unfamiliar to 98% of fans!

Looking at the statistics alone, it can only be said to be very average, lagging behind Anthony Parker in all aspects! Not only this season, except for the 14.4 points in his rookie season with the Grizzlies who were in a bad period, Battier has a great career.

The scoring data per game is around 10 points part of the time, and he has the reputation of a "defensive champion", but the steal data and block data are only above average.

Especially this season, Battier's data has dropped off a cliff, which has caused some fans to question Ke Yan's choice.

These days, if there is Kermit, there is Kehei. Although they are a minority, because they are "different", their views will feel "refreshing". They put out their unfavorable views on Shane Battier on the forum, and

Quoting scriptures and listing various data to prove that "Bartier can't do it" was highlighted instead.

It was under this circumstance that Huo Qingshu integrated the conversation between himself and Key Yan and posted a post to introduce Battier to Chinese fans.

"Battier is a typical Duke player. He has average physical fitness, top basketball IQ, high tactical literacy, gentle personality but full of fighting spirit, a tough guy.

The offense is mostly based on three-pointers, which is passable but not top-notch. There are occasional post-ups and is not very efficient. It lacks independent offensive ability. Therefore, the offensive efficiency dropped sharply after Gasol was injured, but Gasol has played in the past few seasons.

The performance of the game is quite stable.

A typical example of using your brain and attitude to defend, relying on anticipating the opponent's movements to take precautions in advance, supplemented by some small moves like covering your eyes. It is the same as the Spurs Bowen's defense, but without Bowen's dirty moves, targeting

A defender with strong outside scoring ability, he did his best to interfere with the ball without losing his position."

Huo Qingshu posts some photos of herself and Ke Yan from time to time, and to some extent she becomes Ke Yan's spokesperson on the forum. Thanks to this "spokesperson attribute", her post was quickly pinned to the top by the forum officials, and the content of the post was later criticized by some

The editors of other websites made a little edit and turned it into their own "opinion output".

Many media have criticized (hyped) Battier, which also made Chinese fans have more expectations for Battier.

Battier himself was also overjoyed about joining the Hawks. He packed his bags almost the night he learned about the deal and came to Atlanta for a physical examination early the next morning. Then he met Ke Yan and Larry

Accompanied by Sander, he happily held up the Eagles' No. 31 jersey for the media to take photos.

"It is a great honor to join the Eagles. There is no doubt that this is a team that has the ability to compete for the championship. I feel very honored to be favored by such a team. I hope to help the team through my own efforts.

Achieve your goals." Battier delivered his speech in the press conference room of the Phillips Center Arena.

In the past half season, due to the poor lineup of the Grizzlies, Battier was forced to absorb more of the ball. His performance was very inefficient, he was doubting his life, and he felt very confused.

Fortunately, he was traded in time and joined Garnett and Paul, so Battier could play the role he was most suited for.

"Kimi, what do you think of Shane Battier joining?" The reporter quickly put the question to Ke Yan.

"This is a championship puzzle that any coach would like to have. I am very confident that he will make a huge contribution in our fight for the championship." Ke Yan once again made the bold statement of "fighting for the championship."

"After the deal was concluded, many fans thought that the Eagles paid too much for the deal. What do you think of this?"

"The reason why I pushed for this transaction to happen is that I think the arrival of Shane Battier will significantly improve our lineup, and the fans will gradually realize this! As for paying too many draft picks, maybe

It will be difficult for us to obtain high draft picks in the next three years."

After the press conference, Battier followed Ke Yan to his office to learn about the tactics Key Yan designed for the team and his positioning.

"Sean, I think you should also know that I paid such a high price to let you come to Atlanta in the hope that you can help us win the championship. I know that your poor performance this season was caused by the team.

The impact of the lineup, but I hope you can quickly adjust to respond to certain conditions after coming to the Eagles." Ke Yan said.

In his previous life, Battier was one of the few teammates of Yao Ming who was not "disparaged" by Chinese fans. Even his late-career partner James was not "disliked" by James. Instead, because he worked with these two "top" players,

Because of this, the deeds of Shane Battier's excellent professional ethics have been spread time and time again, so that Ke Yan is not worried that Battier will really decline.

"Understood. I'm confident that I can adjust quickly!" Battier immediately expressed his stance, "I can train today."

"Sean, don't worry. I know your abilities. I also believe that you can come out of the first half of the season. You will be the most important part of the Eagles' perimeter defense. You also know that I need to liberate Paul.

Let him invest more energy on the offensive end. Of course, this will also benefit you, you will get more opportunities to make easy shots, and I also believe that you will help Paul get more assists." Ke Yan said with a smile.

Tough outside defense and accurate open three-point shooting, this is what Battier can bring to the Eagles, and it is also what the Eagles under Key Yan badly need; as for Anthony Parker's "ball-handling" that is better than Battier

"Singles", but there is no good use for it.

"Coach, don't worry, since you trust me so much, I won't let you down."

January 5th.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the Magic team came to the Phillips Center for pre-game warm-ups to prepare for the evening game.

Returning to Atlanta, Josh Smith had mixed emotions.

The NBA is a business. Josh Smith has long understood this. Even when he was with the Hawks, in Ke Yan's first year in charge of the team, he also witnessed the departure of many teammates, so he played very hard.

, to meet Keyan’s requirements and to be the best.

Unfortunately, his hard work only turned him into a more valuable "chip" in the transaction. Ke Yan had no nostalgia for Garnett when it was possible to get him, and pushed forward the transaction decisively.

For Josh Smith, the only good thing is that he did not go to the bitter cold land of Minnesota, but came to the Magic to play "brotherly basketball" with Howard.

Howard was practicing close-range hitting after turning around, which was an expansion of his arsenal. He noticed Josh Smith standing motionless outside the three-point line, and immediately threw the ball over.

".

"

Josh Smith looked away, made a series of cross-step dribbles, and made a mid-range shot.

Bang!

The basketball hit the frame, Josh Smith cut off the backboard, rose into the air, and completed a dunk.

"josh!" The fans who arrived early were still cheering for Josh Smith's dunk. After coming back to their senses, Josh Smith also applauded the fans as a thank you.

Ke Yan on the sidelines also noticed Josh Smith's dunk just now, and he looked a little amused about it.

After all, he has developed the attributes of "CIC handsome boy"!

In order to accommodate the Chinese fans' viewing experience, the Eagles' home games usually start at 9 p.m., which is 9 a.m. Beijing time. In contrast, local fans watch the game slightly later.

.

However, the team's performance is good, so there is no need to worry about attendance.

The postponement of the game time also has another advantage for Ke Yan, that is, Wang Lifan, who is busy with his studies, can also come to watch the game. In this game, Wang Lifan, who had not been seen for a long time, appeared in the front row of the audience. Although he was dressed in a very ordinary way, there was no

I carefully adjust my makeup, but still appear in the camera frequently.

In this game, the Magic's starting lineup has not changed: Nelson, Peja, Turkoglu, Josh Smith, and Howard.

For the Hawks, Battier immediately entered the team's starting lineup after joining. The other positions remained unchanged. Paul and Joe Johnson partnered in the backcourt, and Garnett and Diaw "guarded" the interior.

"Ke Yan still arranged for Diaw to be the starter. In fact, Milicic can provide better defense. It's hard to say whether he is a better choice." CCTV's guest commentator today is Da Xu. He is more subjective and stubborn.

They should export their own opinions, otherwise they would just brag about "what the great Michael Jordan is like".

After the game started, Garnett and Howard stood in the center circle and jumped the ball.

Regarding Garnett's reach, there was once a rumor that "Garnett took off the coin on the edge of the backboard during a workout." It was once widely circulated, and many fans even believed it.

It was later confirmed that this was purely a rumor. But the "credibility" of the rumors also shows how good Garnett's jumping ability is.

Just like Chamberlain bragging that he has slept with 20,000 girls, many people really believe it. If Ke Yan said that he has slept with 20,000 girls, everyone will not believe it. You have slept with 20,000 girls, and you have been exploited long ago.

!

But when it comes to bouncing, boxing is not for young people! Howard's physical fitness is not inferior to Garnett's, and he is younger at the same time. He beat the ball to his own half before Garnett.

Nelson held the ball past half-court, and Josh Smith couldn't wait to bring it up and set up a pick-and-roll for him, trapping Paul behind him.

Seeing Nelson trying to take advantage of the space created by the pick-and-roll to take a shot from outside, Paul instantly slithered under Josh Smith's armpit like a loach.

Without thinking, Nelson sent the ball steadily to Josh Smith. Facing Garnett, the latter took a test step and shot from mid-range.

"Boom!"

"How dare you let Josh Smith hit the shot!" Ke Yan sneered.

Before he could be happy, the Magic had an advantage in the rebounding competition. Howard hit the ball to the outside. Turkoglu caught the ball and made a fake shot. Seeing that Battier was not fooled, he simply took the shot.

.

"Whoosh!"

The Hawks attacked, and Paul took Garnett's serve and steadily advanced to the Magic's half.

Passing the ball to Joe Johnson, Joe Johnson took a step to the left and then passed it back to Paul. Howard's energy was dragged back and forth.

Paul dribbled continuously, testing Nelson's defense, and suddenly swung the ball to the left. After Nelson moved his steps, he randomly changed direction and broke through Nelson's defense.

Josh Smith's defense was quick, but Paul's reaction was faster. He pulled the ball in a different direction and directly took away Josh Smith's defense. Paul threw the ball to the basket, and Garnett easily completed the alley-oop.

Buckle!(2:3)

"It's so beautiful! The perfect coordination between Paul and Garnett, just like Stockton and Karl Malone, Paul and Garnett are a pair that make each other successful." Da Xu said with a smile.

The Magic's counterattack started quickly, with continuous passing balls tearing apart the Eagles' defense. With the help of Howard's screen, Turkoglu got rid of Battier.

Just when Battier was about to let go, Turkoglu immediately reversed to the basket. Howard received the ball and turned around, wiping out Garnett who was covering the defense, rising from the ground and completing a dunk.

"Paul suddenly changed direction and Nelson's defense was a little slow, but it was this little bit that gave Paul a chance."

Following Da Xu's words, Paul broke into the inside line.

Paul's breakthrough allowed Josh Smith on this side to choose to cover up, while Garnett, who was responsible for defending, quickly ran back and entered the basket.

Turkoglu retreated from the other corner to the basket to cover Garnett, but left Battier with an open shot. Paul immediately passed the ball to Battier.

Paul's pass was perfect. After receiving the ball, Battier made a decisive move. The ball drew an arc in the air and went steadily into the basket.

From breaking through the defense to launch an attack to Battier scoring, Paul's every move tore apart the Magic's defense.

"Good shot!" Battier gave a thumbs up to Paul who passed the ball to him. This was positive feedback to his teammates.

The Magic continued to play Howard, and Diaw defended Howard alone. He couldn't resist at all in the confrontation. He was easily crushed by Warcraft. While playing the ball and scoring, Diaw also caused a foul.

"Whoa!" Howard scored a free throw, even he didn't expect it. On the way back to defense, Warcraft also showed a simple smile. (5:8)

The Magic used Howard's advantage to attack hard, and the Hawks used Paul's advantage to open up the situation. However, in the next round, Paul chose to use the space created by the pick-and-roll to take a direct shot. Unexpectedly, Howard, who did not want to be switched, directly kicked out of bounds.

By coincidence, the basketball that Howard slapped hit Wang Lifan on the sidelines. Wang Lifan reacted in time and raised his arms to cover his face to avoid being "disfigured".

Putting down his arms, Wang Lifan looked "shocked" and had no response to the consolation from the audience around him. Ke Yan had no choice but to go over and touch his face and say a few words of comfort.

After knowing each other for so long, it’s really rare to see Wang Lifan like this!

It’s not Wang Lifan’s fault, Howard slapped the basketball outside the court like a cannonball, directly aimed at his face. Wang Lifan can be considered a “hero among women” if he can block it. If it were a girl, she could catch Howard’s block with her face.

I went to a plastic surgery hospital to have my face redone.

A minute later, Wang Lifan finally recovered. He declined Ke Yan's suggestion to "go back to the office to rest" or "change seats" and continued to watch the game. The entire audience also accompanied them and ate dog food for a minute.

The ball still belongs to the Hawks, but there are 7 seconds left in the remaining attack time, which is obviously a bit tight. Diaw wants to play a side ball tactic, using the movement of Paul and Joe Johnson to distract the Magic's defensive end, and actually directly pass the ball

It was sent to Battier in the left corner.

It's a pity that Josh Smith guessed Diaw's sideline ball idea, not only completed the steal, but also launched a fast break directly after stealing the ball and completed the gliding dunk. (5:10)

The Magic's opponent is a bit tricky!

(The company arranged to work overtime, and I was busy until nine o'clock before getting off work. The update is late, sorry.)
