If it weren't for Kobe Bryant's buzzer-beater, Ke Yan would have been the focus of the All-Star Game. In the first half of the fourth quarter, he directed the Eastern All-Stars to play basketball that was beyond the times, overwhelming the Western All-Stars.

Come on! But because Kobe Bryant completed the buzzer beater and grabbed most of the traffic, the performance led by Ke Yan was ignored by some fans.

But in the industry, Ke Yan is already regarded as a "reserve" master.

The evaluation of "grandmaster" is very special. Some coaches, no matter how good their results are and no matter how many championships they win, are at best regarded as "winners" and are not worthy of the title of "grandmaster"; conversely,

Say, coaches like Nelson and Adelman may never have the chance to win a championship as coaches in this life, but they are all well-deserved masters.

In addition to achievements, you can either "establish a sect" or be able to promote the development of basketball. Obviously, Ke Yan definitely belongs to the latter. He creatively put the forward swingman Diaw in the center position, defining the "

He developed the concept of "organizing center"; he figured out the defensive system of "upside attack" around Garnett and defined "offensive defense"; he improved Nelson's "small ball" and added a large number of off-ball pick-and-rolls.

, further optimizing the team's offensive threat; he is good at launching the fastest blitz attack at the opponent's weakest time, which has helped him win many stalemate games.

.

.

As for why he is a "reserve", firstly, Ke Yan has not yet won a championship and is not strong enough in terms of honor; secondly, he is not qualified enough and lacks some accumulation.

In addition, skin color and nationality are also factors. If any black American coach had Ke Yan's level in the first three years of his career, he would have been praised to the sky.

When they came to Las Vegas, Ke Yan, Paul, and Garnett didn't come together. But the night after the game, everyone returned to Atlanta together. Because the Hawks had a game the next day, and their opponent was the Memphis Gray who had been rebuilding after being destroyed.

Bear.

If the Hawks can win the championship this season, they must thank the Grizzlies. The trade of Millsap draft picks for Shane Battier has significantly improved the Hawks. The improvement in the team's winning percentage is not obvious, but at the moment this

With a winning streak, three quarters and a margin of less than 20 points, the pressure on the main players has been reduced a lot.

In this game, Ke Yan rested Garnett and arranged for Webber to start the game. This also became a breakthrough for the team. Facing the inside combination of Diaw and Webber, Pau Gasol, who returned from injury, scored 3312 data.

It destroyed the Hawks' inside line and helped the Grizzlies continue to put pressure on the Hawks without giving in. The progress of the game also made Ke Yan very dissatisfied!

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Hawks still couldn't close the gap. After a period of rest, the role players had not yet come out of the vacation and felt cold. On the contrary, the Grizzlies, who were determined to make a mess and trained with all members, did not

What a burden, fight it harder.

In the first 42 minutes of the game, the Grizzlies players proved their strength. In the last 6 minutes, the team's coaching staff remembered their season goals and the team began to "let go." The situation was gradually controlled by the Eagles.

After the All-Star Weekend, the team's state dropped significantly. Winning in this way made Ke Yan feel as uncomfortable as eating a fly. After the last timeout, he replaced all the main players and turned on the hair dryers for the players in front of the entire audience.

, squirting Paul, Shane and others can’t hold their heads up!

At 108:99, the Eagles won at home, winning their longest 18-game winning streak of the season, and their record reached 46 wins and 7 losses.

Although he won, at the press conference after the game, Ke Yan still expressed his dissatisfaction with the players' state.

"Our victory today was just pure luck."

"Other than winning, our performance was nothing short of great!"

"It doesn't matter whether we win or lose, we must all be in better shape to cope with the game!"

Every team and every player will have a period of low ebb every season. There is no special reaction, but they just can’t find their form inexplicably. For the Eagles, the more embarrassing thing is that the team’s original state

Very good, a winning streak was going strong, but the good momentum was interrupted by the "All-Star Weekend", what a loss!

On the second day off, Ke Yan arranged for the players to practice twice a day to stimulate these guys to get back into shape quickly. Especially Gibson, who had a lot of fun with Khloe Kardashian recently, was even more attracted by Ke Yan and Hamblen.

Due to special care, there is a high probability that he will not be able to go out at night.

On February 21, the Hawks traveled to the South Coast to challenge the defending champion Miami Heat away from home.

In this game, the Hawks welcomed the return of Garnett. Ke Yan hopes that the Wolf King, who has recovered his physical strength, can re-establish the team's defensive system and help the team win this tough battle.

Half of Ke Yan's expectations were realized. Garnett's return improved the team's defensive quality, but when the team's overall condition was poor, Garnett failed to support the team's offense. With Wade, O'Neal could

When relying on personal ability to score points, Garnett, as the Hawks' main offensive point, is not strong enough in attacking tough situations.

This is also Garnett's weakest point compared to Duncan and Nowitzki. In many people's minds, Duncan is known for his stability in 2010, but when he needs to score, Duncan never cares about the lake, no matter how tough you are.

Ke Yan knows this well when it comes to defense. As for Nowitzki, although he needs his teammates to "hide" him on the defensive end, you can always trust Nowitzki when it comes to offensive scoring.

107:98, the Hawks were not inferior to the Heat in the away game, and the longest 18-game winning streak in team history came to an end. (46-8)

In the season opener, the Hawks severely defeated the Heat with a record 42-point margin, leaving Pat Riley in disgrace. Looking back, the Heat not only ended the Hawks' winning streak, but also became the highlight of the season.

The first team to double defeat the Eagles. After the game, Pat Riley was very proud: "It turns out that when we get serious, we are not afraid of any opponent, even if you are the regular season champion!"

The Heat have a poor record this season, ranking fifth in the Eastern Conference with 30 wins and 24 losses. Their aging lineup, lack of outside firepower, O'Neal's obvious decline and other problems have been plaguing the team. The outside world is also full of doubts about the Heat.

But as they double defeated the Eagles, more and more fans believe that they are really capable and can fight tough battles, and that their failure to perform well in the regular season is simply because they did not pay enough attention.

.

.

Are the Hawks really afraid of the Heat? It's completely nonsense. If you look back and analyze these two games, you will know that the main reason why the Heat were able to beat the Hawks was because they killed people. In both games, they caught up with the weakness of the Hawks.

Expect.

But the media and fans don't see this. They only see the Eagles losing the game. These days, only those who win are qualified to speak.

On the Chinese Basketball Forum, there were also some voices who felt sorry for the Hawks. Huo Qingshu took advantage of Ke Yan's words, organized a wave of analysis posts, and once again attracted a wave of fans.

With the All-Star Weekend over, the trade deadline is approaching. The general managers of each team are working hard to prepare for the final trade. The teams in the championship group are looking to strengthen their lineups and increase their chances of hitting the championship.

The mid-range teams have their own agendas and are looking for the most beneficial trading plan; the bad teams’ goals are draft picks, high-quality contracts and young players.

Ke Yan doesn't know what the other teams in the championship group are doing. For the Eagles, the only player on the market is Hassell. His remaining contract is as high as 17 million over four years, and he is not part of the team's regular rotation.

For cost-cutting considerations, even exchanging a junk contract with a shorter contract period is worthwhile for the Eagles. After all, it is not ruled out that "junk contract" swaps can revive both parties.

Larry Sander's idea was wonderful, but after he really wanted to put Hassell on the trade list, there was no one left. Only the Rockets came up to ask for the price and proposed to use Swift to trade Hassell.

Swift has three years left on his contract worth 15 million, and Hassell has four years left on his contract worth 17 million. If the deal goes through, the Hawks will have greater salary pressure, but the contract period is one year shorter, so they can get out of trouble earlier. Moreover,

From a long-term perspective, after this season, Swift's contract still has two years, which is relatively easy to get rid of; while Hassell has one year longer, which will be more difficult to deal with.

Considering that Diaw's new contract will take effect next season, and the Eagles will have a lot of salary pressure by then, if they can get rid of Hassell's contract, the team may have the possibility of tax avoidance, Larissander chose to state his interests to Ke Yan

relationship, hoping to facilitate the completion of this transaction.

But after much consideration, Ke Yan rejected the proposal.

Hassell's contract is at a premium, and does not meet Key Yan's tactical needs, especially his outside shooting ability is not up to standard, but if something happens to the team's wing position, he can still be used; in Swift's words,

Except for his running and jumping ability, he is completely unqualified in other aspects. His level may not necessarily make him a qualified outsider in the CBA.

"If we were dealing with this situation last season, maybe I would agree. But this season, our goal is to compete for the championship! We can't pay too much attention to cost performance. Every signing and transaction should have the first purpose of improving our strength."

Ke Yan said seriously.

The representative of this aspect is the "Fire Warriors" years. In order to compete for the championship, the Warriors could spend 1,600 a year to play a piece of shit in the regular season. In the playoffs, they overturned the coffin board and snatched FMVP Ying Guodala; and the Rockets

The team is always looking at whether xx, who signed with a minimum salary, can play next to the light bulb combination. The two ideas have also laid the foundation for the two teams' completely different destinies. One has achieved a great legend of 4 championships in 8 years, while the other has only

Can become a "pioneer of resistance" in the mouths of fans.

The Eagles chose to stand still, and several other strong teams did not make subsequent adjustments. Everyone passed the trade deadline "without wind or rain." Next, if you are lucky, you will pick up leaks in the buyout market, otherwise you will end up with nothing.

The current lineup is aiming for the championship. From Ke Yan's perspective, he is quite confident in the team.

After two days of high-intensity training, the Eagles faced the challenge of the Detroit Pistons at home.

After Weber was bought out, the Pistons also played the "hometown card" to win over the All-Star power forward and promised Weber a starting position.

However, Weber's first choice was the Spurs, and he gave up 5 million to push for a buyout. It was also because the Hawks defeated the Suns, so he didn't think much about the Pistons. This caused the Pistons to miss an opportunity to strengthen the team.

Rashid Wallis and McDyess are still on the inside, while Mohammed and Mihm are on the bench. Compared with before, the decline is very obvious.

Before this season, the Pistons were still the nemesis of "Ke Yan". Ke Yan led the team against the Pistons 10 times and only won one game against the Pistons. This season, the Eagles got Garnett and the Pistons lost Ben Wallace.

Under the ebb and flow of the other, the strength positioning of both sides has been reversed, and the Eagles have gained the upper hand.

However, in the first two games of the season, the two sides won away games respectively, and the Eagles did not get any advantage!

At the beginning of the game, the Pistons used a rough team defense and a strict positional offense to compete with the Hawks.

Facing Chris Paul, Billups showed his strength as the league's first-class point guard. He used his big ass to beat Paul with his back, which gave him an obvious advantage. He could also give full play to his ability by using emergency stop jumpers after the pick-and-roll.

With physical advantages, it can be said that Billups plays with his brain. After Ben Wallace left the team, he became the real "boss" of the Pistons!

In just half time, Billups scored 14 points, 7 assists and 3 rebounds, leading the Pistons to not fall behind in the game. With a score of 45:48, they were only 3 points behind the Hawks entering the second half.

In addition to statistics, Billups's greater contribution is that he suppressed the rhythm of the game, allowing the Eagles to slowly grind out positions with them, preventing the Eagles from frequently switching offense and defense, and limiting the Eagles' offensive ability.

A sharp blade!

In the second half of the game, Ke Yan started to make adjustments on the defensive end. The outside trio changed defense. Paul, who was more flexible, more agile, and more active, came to defend Hamilton to ensure that he did not lose his position without the ball. Joe Johnson mainly faced Prince.

, limiting the opponent's weak-side singles and turn-over jump shots, while saving energy on the offensive end; Battier misplaced his defense against Billups, and used his more accurate positioning and good wingspan to limit Billups' "cold arrows"

, with Garnett filling in behind him, he is not too afraid of his opponent's breakthrough.

This defensive layout is not without loopholes. Even if Billups is not good at speed, he definitely has an advantage when playing Battier in mismatched singles. Compared to attacking with the ball, Hamilton is better at catching and shooting, but against Paul, Hamilton has a height advantage.

Obviously, you can also try to play inside; not to mention that the team also has Rasheed Wallace, who can play inside and outside. He can play pick-and-rolls with Billups and Hamilton and can also create threats!

But in the game, the Pistons' offense was extremely stagnant and could not be opened up at all. For Hamilton, Paul's defense was tougher than expected. Billups could take advantage of his height and weight.

On the contrary, it is not easy to do; and the excellent defensive switching abilities of Battier and Garnett also prevent Billups and Rasheed Wallace from producing very good results in the pick-and-roll.

If the Hawks lost to the Heat in the last game because of Paul and Joe Johnson's poor condition and Garnett's lack of hard-hitting ability, then the Pistons' weakness is much more extreme than that of the Hawks! Billups followed

Like Paul, he is a player with a big heart and can complete a fatal blow, but it is difficult for him to score consecutive answer balls when the team needs a hero to stand up! And the Pistons' current overall offense is really very good.

Big problems exist and Sanders needs to solve them!

98:87, the Eagles won at home, and the team's condition also improved. (47-8)

It was a "meat grinder battle", and everyone's statistics were not good. Garnett scored a huge double-double with 19 points and 14 rebounds, and won the honor of the best in the game. Joe Johnson scored 18 points, stable but not outstanding.

Excellent; Paul was suppressed by Billups for half the game. Fortunately, his performance against Hamilton in the second half was okay, with 14 points and 8 assists, which was lower than the season average.

The best performer for the Pistons was Billups, with 24 points and 9 assists. Obviously, the performance in the second half was not as good as the first half; Hamilton and Rasheed Wallace scored 15 points and 14 respectively.

points, but only three players on the team scored in double figures.

It can be seen that the Pistons failed to get Webber, and the situation may be worse than in history. With the current ranking of fourth in the Eastern Conference, it is very likely that they will directly face the Hawks in the second round. For them, this is not

The good news is that it is not ruled out that the record of reaching the Eastern Conference Finals for four consecutive years will come to an abrupt end this year.

Considering that the Warriors have been weakened, the pressure on the Mavericks has been greatly reduced; the strength of the Suns has improved, and the top three in the Western Conference are likely to fight more intensely. In short, the butterfly effect brought by Ke Yan has had an increasing impact on the league.
