Chapter 250: The Big Three of the Celtics, please support)

In the next few days, the free agent market will continue to be turbulent.

The Hawks are the "defending champions" and have last season's double MVP Garnett, so they are naturally the first choice for many veterans.

Eddie Jones, a veteran who played for the Heat last season, contacted Larry Sands through his agent and planned to come to the Hawks to compete for the championship.

In his peak period, Eddie Jones once served as the starting backcourt of the Eastern Conference All-Stars, and his ability was unquestionable. After gradually aging, his transformation into a 3D player was relatively successful, but he was also one of the most unlucky players in his NBA career.

After entering the league in 1994, he has been playing for the Lakers. Kobe Bryant was his substitute. He was traded by the Lakers in 1999 and missed the Lakers' three consecutive championships;

After several twists and turns, he joined the Heat and became teammates with O'Neal in 2004. However, after the end of the 2005 season, he was traded to the Grizzlies by the Heat in exchange for Jason Richardson, and missed the Heat's championship in the 0506 season.

Last season, he reached a buyout agreement with the Grizzlies, returned to the Heat as a free agent, and once again became O'Neal's teammate, averaging 9.5 points per game, and his performance was acceptable. However, Wade's injury had a great impact

The Heat were easily defeated by the Hawks in the Eastern Conference finals. Seeing that O'Neal was aging and the Heat were about to "sink the ship," Eddie Jones "joined if he couldn't beat him" and wanted to take the "hardest road."

Of course Ke Yan wants more energetic young players like Stevens, but even if he is a time traveler, it is not that easy to pick up the slack. Being able to dig out a Bass and an Anderson is already a bonus brought by his high reputation.

Already.

The team's invincible starting lineup must be based on a relatively weak bench lineup, especially when the owner's financial resources are average and there are many restrictions on him, and the team has Garnett's super-large contract of 21 million.

After studying the roster on the free agent market and evaluating Eddie Jones' status last season, Ke Yan finally agreed to sign with the veteran.

Immediately afterwards, the Eagles signed old general Tucker with a basic salary. At this point, the team's lineup was initially constructed.

PF:Garnett Buss

On the surface, the team's lineup depth has declined slightly compared to the previous game, but the actual combat effectiveness does not necessarily show a downward trend.

Paul's improvement in this aspect is the key. Historically, Paul grew into an MVP-level player in the 2007-08 season, advancing the MVP battle between himself and Kobe to the last meeting of the regular season. Whoever wins will be the MVP. Although in the end

Although he lost, there are still many fans who are unhappy for Paul.

The Eagles are not the Hornets, and good results are a matter of course. This may not be conducive to Paul's "team leadership attributes" being recognized by the judges, but continuous improvement is always no problem. Impact for a while, this is the goal set by Ke Yan for Paul.

Including the most serious point of the team's apparent decline, the decline in defensive ability in the backcourt, can be covered up by Paul's improvement.

Before returning to China, Ke Yan arranged for Anderson, Tucker, and Barea to participate in the team's summer league. For the three young people, this is an opportunity to prove themselves. The Eagles still have four positions in the lineup.

Vacancies. If they don't perform well in summer league, the team can always sign someone else to replace them.

Larry Sander and the team's scouting team will continue to scan the free market to find suitable backup point guards and wing substitutes.

Returning to his hometown with a series of titles, Keyan returned to his hometown. When he left the airport, hundreds of reporters were waiting at Pudong International Airport, and he didn't know where they got the flight information.

"Oh my god, this is so crazy!" Wang Lifan has never seen this kind of battle in the United States, and he started chasing and intercepting him as soon as he left the airport!

"Because you underestimated my achievements~, except for not playing for the country, I am almost the same as Yao Ming, Liu Xiang, and Ding Junhui. I am a business card of China Sports to the outside world." Ke Yan said with a smile, "It just so happens that the Olympic Games are about to come.

It’s done, just in time for the time when the people are paying the highest attention to sports.”

This may sound a bit Versailles, but it’s really not nonsense. There had never been a championship before, and Ke Yan was a little worse than Yao Ming. After all, Yao Ming had the advantage of being “first in” and represented the national team, so he was a “national hero”

attribute bonus; but after the Eagles won the championship, Ke Yan could be regarded as "the wolf and Xu Xu", achieving the only achievement of Asians, which is completely different.

A car from the Suzhou Sports Bureau made a special trip to pick up the plane at Pudong International Airport. Ke Yan simply answered a few questions from the reporter, cooperated with the reporter to take a few photos, and then left the airport.

Ke Yan has made a name for himself in the United States, which is also a political achievement for the leadership team of the hometown sports bureau. Considering that Ke Yan's father, Ke Jinghui, is the office director of the sports bureau, this relationship is even more "closer". Therefore, the city has increased

In order to promote Ke Yan, and seeing himself everywhere on the street, Ke Yan also realized the true feelings of the saying "if wealth does not return to its hometown, it is like walking at night in brocade clothes".

At this time, a big news broke out in the United States. The Celtics sent Gerald Green, Ryan Gomez, Al Jefferson and Sebastian Te

Elfield acquired four players, plus a 2009 first-round draft pick, in exchange for Jermaine O'Neal of the Indiana Pacers! Since then, Ray Allen, Pierce, and O'Neal have formed the Green Army's Big Three!

The 29-year-old O'Neal was able to post 20,103 data last season, which was a slight decline compared to his peak period, but he is still the most comprehensive offensive insider in the league. As the Pacers' competitiveness declines, it is difficult for O'Neal to lead the team.

To compete for the championship, the team also needs to be completely rebuilt to fundamentally get rid of the deep-rooted negative impact of the Auburn Hills Palace incident. Al Jefferson, as a rookie in 2004, can become the core of the Pacers' reconstruction together with Granger.

The formation of the Big Three allowed the Celtics to instantly regain their top-level immediate combat capabilities. Fans of the Celtics are very much looking forward to O'Neal Jr. joining Pierce and Ray Allen to help the Celtics win the 17th place in team history.

won a championship; while Pacers fans cursed Larry Bird, thinking he was a spy sent by the Celtics!

Ainge's timing of forming the Big Three was very timely. There are still a group of elite players in the current free agent market. The Celtics, who are capable of winning championships and are more willing to spend money than the Hawks, can sign more powerful role players.

Almost immediately after O'Neal Jr. officially announced his joining, former Eagles player James Posey signed with the Celtics on a two-year, $7 million contract to serve as the substitute for Pierce and Ray Allen. This is a huge benefit.

Due to risky signings, in the past two seasons, Posey's shooting touch was not stable, and his outside shooting percentage was only about 33%; but his defensive ability ensured his value. When the Celtics faced off against the Cavaliers and Hawks, Posey could

Provide competition for James and Joe Johnson.

In addition to James Posey, the Celtics are also actively seeking the return of Reggie Miller, who is rumored to be very interested in this. (Real event)

That night, Xu Yi called Ke Yan and asked him what he thought of the Celtics as a potential opponent.

"There is no doubt that O'Neal, Pierce, and Ray Allen are powerful on the offensive end. I am optimistic that they can achieve more than 60 wins in the regular season. But if their defense cannot form an organic whole, they still cannot beat the Eagles.

." Keyan said confidently.

For the Celtics in history, although Pierce took away FMVP, the team’s boss and first core is definitely Garnett! The defensive system led by Garnett is the key to the Celtics’ strength.

It was by Garnett's side that young men like Kings and Rondo developed their strong defensive abilities.

Under the butterfly effect, O'Neal Jr. joined the Big Three instead of Garnett. His offensive power may be comparable to Garnett's, but his defensive coverage and deterrence are much worse than Garnett's. The Celtics

It's hard to build a defense around him.

"In terms of the current lineups of each team, which team do you think poses the greatest threat to the Eagles?" Xu Yi asked.

"I guess some teams will make big moves in the future. But if they are all with the current lineup, then the Celtics may be our closest opponent."

These words are very arrogant and look down upon the Spurs, Suns and Mavericks in the Western Conference, but there is a reason why Ke Yan is so confident.

The Spurs' problems stem from the decline of Duncan's singles ability. Shi Fo is no longer the god of war who knelt on the ground and sang "Conquer" when Ke Yan was hammered two years ago. The Spurs' offensive authority is shifting to Parker on the outside, but the Hawks

With Paul on the team, the team is not too afraid of the offensive system led by Parker; and due to his age, Bowen's perimeter defense is also declining, and he is notorious. Any controversial moves he makes will be hit harder by the referee, which also affects the Spurs.

With their perimeter defense, the Spurs will inevitably enter a period of transformation.

The Suns' problem is even more serious. They sent James Jones and Fernandez, selected with the 21st pick, to the Trail Blazers in the offseason in exchange for a sum of cash. The purpose of this transaction was to save money. The Hawks packed and sent Gibson away.

Sale is at least clearing out his junk contract, and the Suns are completely ignoring it just to save money. Such a team-building idea has greatly damaged the team's already weak substitute lineup.

The Mavericks' trade of Harris for Kidd is really a double-edged sword. The strength of this team is based on the players' strong singles ability. A simple pick-and-roll can punish the opponent. Trading for Kidd is equivalent to overthrowing the team.

If we start over with the offensive system, everyone will have to adapt to Kidd. This re-adjustment process will be long and not easy.

Ke Yan gave a detailed explanation, and Xu Yi continued to record it, intending to sort it out and include it in his article: "Then which team do you think will be the dark horse team in the new season?"

"I'm not optimistic about which team will become the dark horse. But if you ask me which team will rise, I will choose the Trail Blazers. Luo Yin and Aldridge were the two best rookies last season. Their

The potential is great. The Trail Blazers also introduced Blake, a point guard who is a floor player, and he is very suitable to partner with Luo Yin."

"Yes, they still have Oden. It's normal to enter the playoffs!" Xu Yi nodded, agreeing with Ke Yan's answer, "It's not impossible to directly enter the top four in the Western Conference."

"Youth Army, it's good to make it to the playoffs." Ke Yan shrugged and said with a smile.

You can't predict in advance that Oden will be out for the season, right? He won't be a great player, he will be pulled into slices.

"Thank you." With the support of professional advice given by Ke Yan, Xu Yi became more confident in the accuracy and professionalism of his article. "When you come back from this trip, do you have time to do an exclusive interview for me?"

"Let's forget it this year. I'm too tired after playing the finals and the rest time is short. Apart from some necessary activities, I don't want to have any other burdens. I plan to walk around with Never."

Logically speaking, Ke Yan is currently in the limelight, with business cooperation everywhere, and should have been very busy; but this summer, he really turned down most of the business cooperation and simply took a vacation.

Investing in YouTube allowed him to quickly accumulate a net worth of nearly 200 million US dollars. At present, he has reinvested his own money and purchased a large number of Apple stocks to wait for appreciation. In the future, he will have a more detailed "traveler investment plan"

, there is really no need to worry too much about yourself.

Coaching a team means winning championships, but at the same time, you also need to be a "champion in life."
