Although they defeated the powerful rival Orlando Magic, it was not time for Larry Sander and Key Yan to sit back and relax. The team traded Battier for one more at the expense of the thickness of the lineup.

The depth of the team's lineup has been reduced, with only 12 players left on the current roster.

Especially inside, there are only four left: Garnett, Diaw, Milicic, and Mbenga. Not to mention how to strengthen the combat effectiveness, at least two more people must be added, right? Otherwise, it will not only be a substitute but no one.

The question is, if a main player suffers an injury, will he directly go to the "Five Primary Schools" to die?

Larry Sander found Key Yan, found a dozen player information from the Development League, and handed it over to Ke Yan for review.

"Let's sign PJ Tucker first. I wanted him during the previous draft." Ke Yan gave his first signing list.

After the three-party transaction was completed, P.J. Tucker was waived by Jerry West before he even had time to report to the Grizzlies. He is currently looking for a job through his agent.

In the draft, Ke Yan's first target was indeed "Millsap P.J. Tucker". In his impression, these two were the most accomplished players at that position. Later, Tucker was intercepted by the Rams.

Hu, he chose Daniel Gibson, who had better immediate combat ability.

Unexpectedly, this move turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Tucker was a complete water cooler for the Menglong team, and the state he showed was completely incapable of playing in the NBA. And whether Gibson served as a backup point guard or cooperated with Paul in the "double point guard" tactic,

All with ease.

In November, the game between the Eagles and the Rams had a garbage time for most of the quarter. Ke Yan also observed P.J. Tucker's performance. He can only say that Rams head coach Michel made the right decision not to use him. With his current situation

The strength is indeed far from the NBA. Even Ke Yan doesn't think he can turn stone into gold and train him this season.

However, if one season is not enough, just two seasons~, every team needs to look at the water dispenser. It is safer to use such promising and "potential" players than to sign other people. Hayes last season also

Well, Tucker this season, judging from what Ke Yan knew about them in his previous life, they are all players who are hard-working and hardened. Even if they are unable to bring positive help to the team for the time being, at least they will not have a negative impact.

"Do you want him to move to the power forward position?" Larry Sander asked.

Tucker's height is only 196. Strictly speaking, he is the height of the second position. However, in Ke Yan's tactical system, the third-position Diaw is firmly seated as the starting center. It is not impossible for Tucker to transform into a power forward.

"No, I plan to let him play Battier's position and develop into a 3D player!" Ke Yan said.

But now Tucker is not good at three-pointers and defense, and he is not as good as Hassell!

"But, we still have a vacancy at the power forward position!"

"The news I got is that the 76ers are selling Webber. If they can't reach a deal before the trade deadline, they may buy out Webber's contract.

.

.

"Ke Yan raised his eyebrows at Larissade and told him his plan.

"What news did you get?" Larry Sander was surprised. Where did you get the connection? Did that female reporter from ESPN (Xu Yi) give it to you?

Regardless of whether this news is true or not, even if the 76ers reach a buyout with Webber, they will still have to wait until around the trade deadline. There is only one month left. And who can guarantee that Webber will definitely come to the Hawks?

Larissander raised his concerns with Ke Yan, and Ke Yan also expressed his understanding. However, the team has completed two major trades for one more this season, and the lineup has changed a lot. The focus of the following season will be on running-in, not on

No matter what adjustments are made, the best they can do is to check for leaks and fill in the gaps.

"If Weber doesn't come by then, I will try to communicate with the Chinese Basketball Association to see if they can let Wang Zhizhi play for us for half a season." Ke Yan thought for a while and said.

In April 2006, the conflict between Wang Zhizhi and the Chinese Basketball Association was resolved, he returned to play in China, and represented the national team in the Men's Basketball World Championships. Whether it is from the perspective of the men's basketball team or the Bayi team, there is no difference.

It is too easy to let Wang Zhizhi come to the United States to play football. Even Wang Zhizhi himself may have recognized the reality and given up the idea of ​​coming to the United States to pursue his dream.

But if Ke Yan comes forward and "rents" Wang Zhizhi for half a season, there should still be some room for maneuver. After all, Ke Yan himself is more cooperative with the work of the Basketball Association and has completed some tasks arranged by the Basketball Association for "mutual benefit."

The United States is in some trouble and asking for some help is not a big problem, right?

Of course, the main premise is that the Bayi team's CBA season is over before we can communicate about this matter.

On January 6, the Eagles started their journey to the northwest. There was an extra fat man on the team's special plane, PJ Tucker. He had just completed his physical examination and was behind on signing the contract, so he was pulled into the team's western expedition.

middle.

Tucker was a little uneasy when he got on the plane. He was not the kind of veteran who had been waived and changed teams many times. He was a second-round pick this season. The Hawks were only the second team he had stayed with.

Especially the superstars he has never had close contact with, and he doesn't quite understand how to get along with these star players.

"PJ Tucker?" Just when Tucker was putting on the headset and calming down, suddenly a person sat opposite him with a cup of coffee.

"Um.

.

.

Hi, Chris!" Tucker wanted to maintain his "cold" image, but when he saw that the person coming was Paul, he was instantly defeated.

"Relax, we will be teammates from now on." Paul said with a smile, "The boss asked you to wait for half an hour to find him."

"Over there?" Tucker pointed to the compartment and confirmed.

"Yes! This is also the request of the boss. If it is not necessary, the coaching staff should not encroach on the players' activity space." When talking about Ke Yan, Paul looked convinced.

For him, Ke Yan is a very good leader, which saved him a lot of detours in the early stages of his career. He asked Paul to focus on improving his mid-range shooting and his ability to play small and big after the pick-and-roll. Now this is almost

It is Paul's most representative killing move; it allows Paul to appropriately reduce his possession of the ball and learn to adapt to the ball-handling rhythm of Joe Johnson, Diaw and others. This allows him to take away a lot of pressure on the court and will not be affected by the point guard.

Holding the ball too much and being targeted by opponents.

This season, there are fewer voices praising Paul, not because his performance has become worse, but because everyone looks at Paul according to the standards of a first-line point guard in the league, rather than an ordinary second-year rookie.

Lots of praise and louder recognition.

"It's completely different from Michelle," Tucker said.

"The boss is different from other coaches in the league," Paul suddenly thought of something and said to Tucker, "Boy, you have caught up with a good thing. The boss promised us to take care of a trip to the Maldives at his own expense, provided that we get

Victory in the next crucial game.”

"Which one?" Tucker became interested and asked after hearing that Keyan paid for it at his own expense.

"I don't know, it should be a game where we have a low chance of winning." Paul soon explained the circumstances surrounding Ke Yan's "heavy reward" offer before and after the game with the Cavaliers.

"Is it just the Mavericks, Spurs and Suns? We can look at the schedule and study it later~" Tucker suggested, being smart.

"Then you underestimate the boss too much. He won't let you guess it!"

Within the Eagles, the players also have their own small groups. Now, Paul easily pulled the new Tucker into his team.

After finishing the coffee in his hand and seeing that the time was almost up, Tucker got up and headed to the coaching staff's cubicle.

Knock...knock

"Come in!" Ke Yan's voice came from inside.

Tucker opened the door and walked in. The first thing he saw was a pile of scratch paper in front of Ke Yan.

"Coach, are you looking for me?"

"No need to be so nervous, sit down~" Ke Yan pointed to the seat in front of him, and then put away the scratch paper in front of him. Surprisingly, they were all tactical drawings, which made Tucker admire his diligence.

Although you are young, success is definitely not easy to come by! If you want to hide it, you have to endure hardships that cannot be hidden.

"What are your thoughts after joining the Eagles?" Ke Yan reached for a bottle of water from behind, put it in front of Tucker, and asked.

"I hope I can train well and try to stay on the team." Tucker said honestly.

You asked him to make some unrealistic rhetoric, I'm sorry, it's too fake. For a low-level player who has just been laid off, staying on the team, collecting wages, and supporting his family in Hukou is the only goal.

"Then let me change the question. How do you plan to improve yourself and increase your leverage to stay in the team?"

".

.

.

"Facing Keyan's series of questions, Tucker was a little confused. Of course, he would do whatever the coach asked him to do!

"Pj, what I want to say is that as a player who is not taken seriously, in addition to the tasks assigned by the coaching staff, you may also need to find your own position, template, and work hard in one direction." Ke Yan

After a pause, he continued, "To be honest, in the face of NBA competition, your athletic ability, movement speed, air transport skills, and finishing ability are all unqualified."

Although the words were unpleasant, they were all true. Tucker felt a little uncomfortable, but he also knew that what Keyan said next was the key point.

"My expectation for you in the future is a stronger Battier. I need you to practice defense and three-pointers." Ke Yan looked at Tucker, "So, you know which direction you should go next.

Training?”

"From now on I will practice 500 more every day.

.

.

1,000 three-pointers!" Tucker then promised.

"Before you practice shooting, you must lose weight first. You are now O'Neal at the small forward position, too fat! Within two weeks, lose five pounds; before the trade deadline, lose ten pounds! You must first improve your mobility! Then

Another three-point long shot!" Ke Yan said, "For you, the Eagles have a very good environment. You can observe Shane Battier's defense at close range, which is a great asset; at the same time, the team is very happy.

With KK here, if you enter the rotation and play with him, he will help you solve a lot of defensive problems."

This is why Ke Yan knew that it would be difficult for Tucker to improve his immediate combat ability to the level of the rotation lineup in a short period of time, but still chose to sign and give him a chance. The environment of the Eagles should be able to catalyze Tucker's progress.

.

In the first game of the Western Conference, the Eagles challenged the Seattle SuperSonics at Key Arena. The Eagles defeated their opponent by 27 points, 109:82.

In the 0405 season, under the leadership of McMillan, the SuperSonics made a splash with the Unparalleled Arrows, but then the team fell into a long trough. Ray Allen and Lewis were not the saviors of this team. They could play on their own.

Good data, but there is no way to lead the Sonics to win.

Battier's joining has made up for the final shortcoming of the Eagles' lineup. "Batman" himself is also a versatile player. On the offensive end, he can settle down in the corners without scrambling or grabbing, and shoot when there is an opportunity; on the defensive end, he is firmly stuck.

Lewis's outside offense was so bad that the latter made 2 of 8 shots from beyond the three-point line and only shot 25%.

The Sonics' brutal power forward Wilcox was also firmly contained by Garnett. He made 1 of 9 shots in the game and scored 3 points and 6 rebounds, the worst data of the season; all his teammates who could play were beaten by the Hawks.

The team was on defense, even though Ray Allen scored 23 points, it didn't help.

For the Hawks, Garnett and Paul scored 20 points each, and Joe Johnson scored 18 points. Their performance was not bad. The three of them all averaged 20 points per game this season. It is not an exaggeration to call them the "Big Three"! But the ball

Only three of the team scored in double figures. Battier took five shots from beyond the three-point line, hit two goals, and scored 6 points. The offensive end can only be said to be quite satisfactory.

The next day, the Hawks visited the Pepsi Center and defeated the Denver Nuggets, who had a weak lineup.

On December 16, the infamous "Madison Square Garden Incident" broke out in the game between the Nuggets and the Knicks. The Nuggets' gang of nerves targeted the Knicks, who had already surrendered, to kill them.

The score difference continued to widen. Collins, who did not want to be beaten 58 times by Jr., used a flagrant foul to knock Jr. down, and a group fight broke out between the two sides.

After the "Auburn Hills Palace Incident", the league has been working hard to improve the image of the NBA. As a result, the two teams not only fought against the wind, but were also close to the league's base camp. If this is not a heavy penalty, where will the league's face be?

Among them, the worst thing was Anthony who stepped forward and punched Collins. He was suspended for 15 games and was on the league's "blacklist." From now on, the "if you can't kill him, no foul" whistle treatment will directly affect Anthony's career.

Almost "nothing accomplished".

Anthony and Jr. Smith are both in the season, and the Nuggets failed to exchange for Iverson to continue the team's firepower as historically. The Nuggets relied on the pick-and-roll cooperation of senior Miller and Nene to compete with the Hawks.

Can't beat it at all.

91:111, the Eagles defeated the Nuggets in an away game and conquered the Devil's home court, which is the highest in the league!

The next day, the Hawks challenged the Utah Jazz back to back and lost 107:111.

In the plateau away game, back-to-back games, Ke Yan felt uncomfortable sitting on the sidelines coaching, and there were physical reactions, not to mention the players in his hands. Unlike the Nuggets, who are all "birds and beasts", the Jazz are all muscle "sticks". Deron,

Fisher, Halprin, Brewer, C.J. Myers, Boozer, and Okur are all fighting against tough and ruthless people. The "remaining health" Eagle is in the "Energy Solution Center", and the energy in his body is really

were solved, Paul and Diaw were suppressed, Battier had no touch, and only Garnett and Joe Johnson were left to support themselves.

On the other hand, the Jazz have developed a tacit understanding between the Utah duo. Deron not only assists Boozer to score frequently, but he can also suppress Paul with his advantage in confrontation.

With a well-organized lineup, a thick bench, and a plateau home court advantage, this Jazz team is definitely more difficult to deal with than the Rockets. The Hawks struggled several times, but eventually lost to their opponents. Their six-game winning streak was ended (29-7).

)

Three consecutive visits to the Western Conference, including a back-to-back at Plateau, resulted in 2 wins and 1 loss, which was within Ke Yan's expectations. Speaking of which, the Eagles are indeed strong, but they are not yet the only team in the league. Moreover, in this half season,

The team's tactics have been constantly fine-tuned, and a trade was recently made, so the tacit understanding between the players still needs to be cultivated.

The foundation has been laid and the foundation has been solidified. Next, it depends on Keyan’s ability!
