The Western Conference has won two consecutive away opponents. The Eagles are only three games away from the third wave of 10-game winning streak this season. If they can defeat the next three opponents, the Eagles will become the first team in the new century to win 10 games three times in a single season.

A winning team.

After so many years of being bad, he could finally feel proud. Eagles fans had high expectations for this, but they never expected that in the next game against the Cavaliers, Joe Johnson would be injured.

Towards the end of the second quarter, Joe Johnson broke into the penalty area and faced the defense for a layup. When he landed, he stepped on the foot of Cavaliers substitute center Varejao and unfortunately sprained his side.

This change is a big blow to the home fans. After all, the Eagles are aiming for the championship this season, and injuries to core players will definitely have a great impact on the team's season journey!

Joe Johnson's injury also affected the players' mentality and was directly reflected in the game.

Without the restraint of Joe Johnson, the Eagles' rotation was greatly affected, and they eventually lost to the Cavaliers 106:111, ending their 7-game winning streak (52-9).

After the game, Joe Johnson underwent an MRI examination and found that the injury to his left ankle was not too serious and he will be absent for 2-4 weeks.

Injury to core players is not a good thing for any team. Especially Joe Johnson is really unlucky. He obviously has a "floor flow" style of play. He can't jump high, doesn't rush hard, and doesn't even get much playing time.

It's a lot, but it turned out that I was injured due to an accident on the field for the second time this season. It was really a bit of bad luck.

Among NBA coaches, Ke Yan pays more attention to the depth of the lineup. He rarely relies on the main force and lets the core players play for more than 40 minutes. This is also the reason why the injuries of the teams he coaches have been relatively well controlled.

.

But injuries and accidents are always inevitable in sports events. No one can control some emergencies on the field. Ke Yan can only adjust his mentality and at the same time motivate other players, such as PJ Tucker!

After joining the Eagles, P.J. Tucker has lost more than 8 pounds in more than two months and has become much more symmetrical. After losing some fat, Tucker's lateral movement speed has also improved, and the defensive end can be used in small situations.

Play a greater role in the forward position.

Joe Johnson's injury finally freed up more playing time on the wing, and Tucker was promoted into the team's rotation.

On March 6, the Hawks faced Garnett's parent team, the Timberwolves, at home.

At the beginning of the season, the Garnett-related trade was completed with the Hawks, which was a successful reconstruction for the Timberwolves. Several players exchanged for Garnett, except for Jerome James, who was originally on a balancing contract,

Several other players played well.

Thanks to the team's efforts at "cost", Little Shark Bynum has made significant progress this season, averaging 13.5 points, 9.7 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game this season. While his statistics are impressive, he has also begun to slowly show his abilities in the low post.

His rapid improvement allowed the Timberwolves to switch their first target in the draft from Oden to Durant;

Among the two rookies Guayin and Foye, the Timberwolves paid more attention to Randy Foye, otherwise they would not have traded Luo Yin for him. However, it was Guayin who performed better among the two. After coming to the team,

Gai Yin started from the bench, completed the counterattack step by step, and became the team's starting small forward. He averaged 14 points and 6 rebounds per game. He is currently second only to Luo Yin in the Best Rookie selection.

player of;

Compared with Bynum and Guyon's unlimited potential, David Lee and James Posey bring more immediate combat power to the Timberwolves. The former is firmly seated at the starting four position in the Timberwolves, averaging 16 points per game.

The double-double data of 10 rebounds is known as the "double-double machine", and he is also the team's scoring leader and rebounding leader. However, his defensive weaknesses are more obvious. As many points as he scores on the offensive end, he will give them back on the defensive end.

points, and because of this, he is looked down upon; the latter is a typical Jigsaw player for a strong team, and he does not perform well in a rebuilding team like the Timberwolves. After being replaced as the starter by Gai Yin, his statistics are not very good, but he

Just the opposite of David Lee, as long as he plays, he can significantly improve the team's perimeter defense. He is a player whose "performance is greater than his data".

When Joe Johnson doesn't play, Stevens enters the starting lineup of @Jingshuge. The Eagles' starting lineup is full of defensive strength. Paul, Stevens, Battier, and Garnett all defend in their respective positions.

Excellent player, easily suppressed the Timberwolves' offense.

The Timberwolves have potential in other positions, but the point guard position is weak. Facing the Hawks' attack on the line, Jaric couldn't comfortably hand the ball to Bynum inside, and the situation of the game was also unstable.

It has always been in the hands of the Eagles, making their opponents "immobilized."

The Eagles relied on their oppressive defense to frequently cause their opponents to make mistakes and staged many wonderful defensive counterattacks, which further boosted the team's momentum. They also played very targeted offensively, and finally defeated the Timberwolves 115:95.

(53-9)

Paul played 30 minutes, made 12 of 20 shots, 5 of 5 free throws, and scored 33 points, 8 assists and 5 rebounds, effectively filling the firepower gap left by Joe Johnson.

Since the team's lead was relatively large, Tucker also got 16 minutes of playing time. In the whole game, he made 1 of 4 shots, scored 2 points, and grabbed 4 rebounds. His performance was quite satisfactory.

In the game on the same day, the Mavericks lost to the Magic 98:101, and the gap between the two teams was reduced to 3 games. This also made Ke Yan breathe a little relieved, and he could take a proper rest in the next game to protect Garner.

Te and Paul.

On March 8, International Women's Day, the Eagles faced the Orlando Magic away from home. This was also the third meeting between the two teams this season. In the first two duels, the two sides reached a 1:1 score.

Compared with the Heat who picked up the heads of the Hawks during their weak period, and the Cavaliers who benefited from the injuries of the Hawks, the Magic's head-to-head victory over the Hawks at the beginning of the season was extremely valuable; in addition, the Pistons did not acquire Webber and were still in a difficult situation.

In a tepid state, the Magic have also become the Hawks' strongest opponent in the Eastern Conference.

With the injury to Joe Johnson, the Hawks lost one of their Big Three, and their strength was obviously damaged. However, in the game, the "disabled" Hawks team left the Magic at a loss!

At the beginning of the game, as long as Nelson held the ball past half court, the Eagles launched a "line attack" to suppress Nelson's ball.

Compared to Parker, who is slowly adapting to the Hawks' pressing through his own efforts, Nelson's idea of ​​dealing with this tactic is very clear, which is to hand the ball to Turkoglu. This may be the difference between ordinary players and championship point guards.

The gap is huge!

Nelson was suppressed at this point, and the ball was concentrated on Turkoglu. The Turkish agent controlled the ball and organized the team's offense in an orderly manner.

But problems also arise. After focusing mainly on moving the ball, Turkoglu's personal offense has been sniped by Battier, whether it is a pull-up jump shot after a pick-and-roll or a slow three-step layup after a cut.

None of them hit!

The Hawks sacrificed so many assets to trade for Battier in order to have a high-level defensive force when facing the opponent's outside singles. Battier is not enough to defend Kobe and James, but it is not enough to defend Turk.

Gru showed his value and defended his opponent.

Facing the "remnant" Hawks, the Magic's offense was suppressed, and its defense was turned upside down by Diaw and Garnett, and they were quickly defeated.

92:105, the Hawks defeated the Magic away from home. (54-9)

Wang Zhenyao saw his wife busy cooking a lot of dishes and couldn't help but said: "That's enough. It's just the four of us, so we can't eat much."

Judging by the way the preparations are going, there are eight or nine dishes to be made, and they are all tough dishes, so I won’t settle for anything less.

It’s still very cold in Atlanta in March. The dishes in the back are not ready yet, but the dishes in the front are already cold.

"Cook more, what Ke Yan likes to eat, never likes to eat, and what you like to eat, so you don't have to yell!" Zhou Yun rolled her eyes at her husband, "Do you think we can go back this time and visit Ke Yan's parents? Can we settle things down?"

Come down?"

"What should I say? Ke Yan's parents are both in the public service and it is not convenient for them to come to the United States, so let's go back and visit, don't think about other things first!" Wang Zhenyao said angrily, "Ke Yan is indeed quite good, but we

It’s not like no one cares about me.”

"No matter~, I've chosen Key Yan as my son-in-law!" Zhou Yun emphasized, "You don't know how adventurous our daughter is. The only one who can hold her down is Key Yan. I don't want to do it in the future.

.

.

.”

"Cough cough cough!" Wang Zhenyao coughed heavily and stopped his wife from continuing.

There are some things that Ke Yan doesn't care about very much, but in the eyes of the elders, they are really "dark history".

The two elders were chatting about returning to China to visit Keyan's parents. When they heard a knock on the door, they hurried over to open the door. Who else could it be if it wasn't Keyan and Wang Lifan?

Wang Lifan held Keyan's arm and let go when he saw the door opened.

Wang Zhenyao was not surprised: "I just mentioned you guys, and I was about to make a call when I arrived."

During the meal, Wang Zhenyao happily poured a glass of wine for Ke Yan and talked about his and Zhou Yun's plans to go to China to visit Ke Yan's parents.

"My parents are also very embarrassed about this matter. They have applied to the company several times and want to come to the United States to visit you and your aunt. They are public officials and have strict control." Ke Yan expressed his apology to his elders on behalf of his parents, "

Don’t worry, as long as the time here is decided, my parents will make sure everything is properly arranged.”

"What the hell!" Wang Zhenyao said seriously, "We are embarrassed to disturb your family."

"In terms of etiquette, it should be my parents who are here."

Ke Yan was also helpless. Basically, as long as he found "Wai Guo Keren", he would definitely encounter similar embarrassment.

"We will all be a family from now on, let's not talk about these things~" Wang Zhenyao waved his hand magnanimously, signaling Ke Yan not to take these trivial matters to heart.

Not to mention other benefits of falling in love with Wang Lifan, the fact that his parents are "reasonable" makes Ke Yan very comfortable.

From the first time Wang Lifan brought Keyan to his two elders and announced, "This is my boyfriend," to the first time, the second time, and the nth time Ke Yan visited, the relationship with Wang Zhenyao and Zhou Yun became more and more intense.

Familiar with each other, it feels like joining a very warm family!

In this process, everything happened naturally. There were no changes even because Keyan's career was so successful and he made 160 million US dollars from investment. Everything was progressing in an orderly manner.

After chatting for a while about the situation of Keyan's parents, the two of them turned to Keyan's career.

"How sure are you of winning the championship this season?" Wang Zhenyao asked.

The person he was chatting with was his father-in-law, so there was no need to hide his/her answers. Ke Yan calculated it and said: "The original answer was 45%. The current situation is not stable, probably between 35% and 50%."

.”

"Your probability calculation is just like our doctors doing surgery!" Wang Zhenyao smiled, "Can you explain it to me?"

"Actually, it's just my own deduction. Because no matter how the Suns, Mavericks, and Spurs strengthen and integrate, they can only have one team come out in the end to meet us in the finals. Considering that the Hawks can be better

Entering the finals with low losses, I am confident that it will be a 50-50 situation against any of them."

"So your initial confidence is 45%, and the remaining 5% is due to accidents caused by player injuries." Wang Zhenyao understood what Ke Yan meant and nodded, "As expected of a 'scientist'! Very sophisticated logical reasoning."

"Not only that, according to my original assumptions, the opponent in the finals will most likely be the Spurs. Personally, I am not afraid of the Spurs!"

But now, as the Suns have strengthened and the Warriors have been weakened, the Mavericks' luck seems to be better. If they face the Mavericks, Ke Yan will find it more difficult to beat.

After all, everyone will be obsessed with the main force in the playoffs! Not many of the Mavericks can withstand the slew of singles players!

On March 10, the Eagles faced the challenge of another rebuilding team, the Philadelphia 76ers, at home. Considering that the opponent was currently aiming to fail, Ke Yan chose to rest Garnett in this game.

Two of the Big Three are not playing today. This game is a test of Paul's leadership ability.

However, what scares the fans is that even if the Eagles lose two of the Big Three, the lineup this team can come up with is still not bad, consisting of Paul, Stevens, Shane Battier, Webber, and Diaw @ the essence book

Ge's starting lineup is a team on the edge of the playoffs after a good run-in?

Iverson and Webber left the team one after another, and the 76ers entered a state where the entire team was at a loss. This team just actively chose to play hard to get a high draft pick, and its true strength was difficult to deal with.

Yingodala, Felton, Gerald Wallace, Dalembert and others have average reputations, but their abilities are acceptable. The game has entered a head-to-head battle from the beginning.

The Eagles quickly fell into passivity, and their offense had problems.

Stevens and Diaw both have baskets, but both are unstable. Without Garnett and Joe Johnson to create an offensive environment, their hands are not very good. The Hawks can only rely on Battier and Webber to assist.

Left Paul, get some coordination!

Although the Eagles relied on Barea and Milicic to regain some points in the transition period, they were still unable to fill the gap in firepower of the main lineup, and the Eagles have always lagged behind their opponents.

It's just that the reason why the 76ers chose to "fail" is because the team lacks a reliable star player at critical moments.

Although Yingodala is versatile, he really doesn't have a stable scoring method. He is more suitable as a deputy rather than a main attacker.

In comparison, although Paul is not a person who can withstand critical moments, he is still a few levels more reliable than Yingodala. First, he succeeded with a small pick-and-roll with Weber, and then he focused on Milicic and hit two long shots.

points and helped the team preserve the victory!

In the end, the Hawks defeated the 76ers 107:102 and continued their march towards first place in the league (55-9).
