On July 16, the Rockets completed a deal with the Spurs. The team traded Greek point guard Spanoulis to acquire Argentine national team starting power forward Luis Scola. This was another lucrative deal.

Since Cato was sent to the Magic in Tracy McGrady's trade, the Rockets' power forwards have been suffering from chronic problems and have been poor and weak all year round. Bowen, Juwan Howard, Swift, Chuck Hayes, these people

Either they are overpaid and incompetent, or their functions are single, and none of them are put to use in tough battles. General Manager Carroll Dawson cannot escape the blame.

In his first season in charge of the Rockets, Mogou solved this problem through his own operations. With the joining of Landry and Scola, coupled with Hayes, who is still very practical as a bench, Yao Ming is no longer alone in the interior.

fight.

That night, Xu Yi got in touch with Keyan again and asked him what he thought of the deal.

"Scola is a good team player. When the team has the main attack point, he can do other tactical work on the offensive end; and when the team lacks attack points, he can also be counted on to contribute some output.

.But in the high-end game, I think his defense will become the focus of our breakthrough." Ke Yan made a mental calculation and gave his own opinion.

"Listening to what you said, I feel like the Spurs have suffered a big loss!" Xu Yi said.

"It can't be completely said that the Spurs' position in the league means they don't need to make Duncan uncomfortable for Scola, and the Rockets need to strengthen the team's power forward position through any means.

"Ke Yan explained.

Scola has won everything in Europe, but has been slow to land in the NBA. In addition to the termination clause issue with Tau, part of the reason is that he can only serve as Duncan's substitute when he joins the Spurs.

If it were anyone else, Scola might still have the confidence to give it a try, but if the mountain pressing on him is a stone Buddha, I'm afraid no one thinks he can counterattack.

Although Duncan plays the role of center most of the time as a power forward, he is also willing to make any sacrifices for his teammates; but the Spurs do not really regard Duncan as a universal patch, and the inside partners equipped with him are mostly tired of doing dirty work.

A living blue-collar player is unlikely to force Duncan to the center position for Scola and increase Duncan's losses.

When talking about Scola, Ke Yan thought of another person, the point guard of the Argentine national team, Prigioni.

The Hawks are currently short of point guards and wings, and the team's scouting team is also looking for suitable reinforcement candidates in the summer league.

Ke Yan was alerted by the Rockets' operation to recruit Scola, and thought of poaching players from the European League, so he immediately searched the Internet for news about Prigioni.

Prigioni became famous in the European League. He is now 30 years old. He is an important member of Argentina's golden generation. He is also the hero of Argentina's 2002 World Championship runner-up and the 2004 Athens Olympics championship. He has always been with his fellow Argentine Scola.

Together they played for Tawu in La Liga.

His style of play is relatively stable every day and can help control the rhythm of the game, but he also has the "cunning" side of South American players. After entering the NBA at the age of 35, he also left his mark on the league. Rockets fans talk about "

"Headband helped overturn the Clippers", Prigioni was the hero behind the scenes. In the whole game, he contributed 7 steals, 6 of which were given to Paul, which made Paul doubt his life.

.

.

The Hawks' current backup point guard is the assault-oriented Barea. The offensive organization of the backup lineup may need to adjust Joe Johnson's playing time to take care of it. If Prigioni has a stable style of play, he may be able to single out the burden on Joe's shoulders.

Could be lighter.

It has never been easy to recruit players from the European leagues, and whether Prigioni himself is willing to join as the third point guard is also a question. However, this is not an issue that coach Keyan should consider. After handing over the job to Larry Sand

, Ke Yan started an important task of his return to China, conducting an "exchange seminar" with CBA coaches.

In name, it is an "exchange seminar", mainly to take care of the face of domestic basketball coaches. In fact, 90% of the time, everyone listens to Ke Yan's "teaching" and combines the knowledge they learned in Germany and the United States into a system.

, and then systematically explain it to domestic coaches.

What Ke Yan has accumulated after four years of schooling in Germany and five years of coaching in the United States is difficult to teach to domestic coaches in a few "exchange seminars". But Ke Yan is still very positive and optimistic about this time.

I have made full preparations for the "Exchange Seminar", hoping that I can slightly improve some people's old "basketball concepts" and be able to embrace the development of the world basketball world.

Not only the NBA, but also the development of European basketball. For audiences and fans, the "team-first" game style of European basketball is not favored; but for professional coaches, this kind of trick-taking should be more interesting.

right.

After a few classes, Li Qiuping, Wang Fei and other "elders" looked down upon it and regarded this exchange seminar as an official show activity to praise Ke Yan's bad feet. They left the venue early. On the contrary, "Brother Chun" gave Ke Yan face every time.

After the class, I was very active in asking Keyan for advice, and my usual "talking out of mouth" was completely gone.

"That g8 Qiu Tian~"

"Marbury will knock him over if he steps on him again!"

"You go and chase that little brat with me, and the whole audience will chase him away!"

"I've made my hand clear. Damn it, you're stretching your feet layer by layer under your feet!"

Brother Chun still left a lot of classic sayings for CBA. Although Ke Yan doesn't like swearing very much, he has to admit that in a highly confrontational sport, it is difficult to maintain emotional stability all the time. Sometimes you can be more serious if you don't scold

Can't keep players down.

And as a fan, whether you like it or not, you have to admit that compared to the Bayi Dynasty in the early years, and the Beijing team that won consecutive championships, the Hongyuan Dynasty created by Brother Chun is the most valuable. There is no "supporting military whistle",

Without the "Capital Whistle", the national team built with Yao Ming and the "Hongyuan Series" team is also the stage when the Chinese men's basketball team is most successful in the international arena.

"Director Li, this is my email. If you have anything you want to discuss in the future, you can send me an email at any time. I will reply when I see it." After the last seminar, Ke Yan specially gave his contact information to

Brother Chun.

People like Ke Yan and Yao Ming are outliers after all, and talents like Brother Chun represent the majority of those who work hard; or to put it another way, when domestic coaches have Brother Chun’s attitude towards basketball, maybe whether it is CBA or Chinese basketball, there will be one

An obvious improvement and leap forward, right?

It was mid-August, and Wang Lifan needed to prepare for the new semester's doctoral courses and return to the United States; Ke Yan had almost done everything he needed to do in China, and returned to Atlanta with his girlfriend.

Perhaps this is the difference between finding a girlfriend with a doctorate and finding a girlfriend with a vase. The former is more independent, has its own thoughts and soul; while the latter will inevitably be more dependent on Ke Yan.

The day after returning to the United States, Ke Yan met Prigioni, who had just joined the team, in the office and had a brief exchange.

The Argentinian defender was full of curiosity about the championship coach who was younger than him, but after the conversation, he no longer had any doubts.

Conquering the NBA with a yellow face is impossible without some real talent and learning!

The Hawks paid Prigioni a buyout of US$500,000 and offered the other party a two-year, US$3.2 million contract, successfully signing the 30-year-old point guard.

At this point, the number of names on the Eagles' lineup has reached 12, which has just reached the minimum number of players stipulated by the league. However, the team still has vacancies on the wing, and Ke Yan still hopes to add at least one or two more players for him to deploy.

In the league, basically all teams have at least 13 players, otherwise they will not be able to withstand the injury crisis!

Although the Eagles were the championship last season, it is precisely because they played in the finals last season that the players were more tired than other teams and needed more depth in the lineup to withstand the risks of injuries. In the new season, Ke Yan will

Conduct "load management" for 30 players in the team to ensure the health of the players.

The Hawks organized a wave of trials. Former Lakers swingman Kareem Rush, who went to Europe to make money last season, stood out in the trials and successfully got a contract from the Hawks and became a member of the Hawks.

.

Rush is the "black version" of Vujacic, with accurate three-pointers and poor defense. However, the Hawks have Garnett and Anderson on the inside, which can make up for his shortcomings to a certain extent.

Andre Ingram, the undrafted player this season, also received a training camp contract. Whether he can become a regular player depends on his subsequent performance.

Ingram, who plays the No. 2 position, is not tall enough, only 191cm tall, and his athletic talent is average. Although he is good at three-point shooting, he is not outstanding. In terms of strength, he is somewhat "not worthy" of the Eagles; but he wins in the test.

His attitude during training, just like Ichiro Kamizou gained the approval of Coach Gaotou through "extra training" on three-pointers, Ingram was also the most serious player in this wave of trials for the Eagles, which impressed Ke Yan and became a

I secured a training camp contract myself.

At this point, the Eagles' lineup for the new season is basically determined, and the lineup includes 14 players.

Center: Boris Diaw, Chris Anderson, PJ Brown

Power forward: Garnett, Brandon Bass.

Small Forward: Shane Battier, P.J. Tucker.

Shooting guards: Joe Johnson, Eddie Jones, Kareem Rush, Andre Ingram.

Point guard: Paulo, Barea, Prigioni.

Ke Yan is quite satisfied with the current situation of the team. The team's substitute lineup has undergone a major overhaul. However, except for the regret that Grant Hill did not join, the recruitment of other positions is beyond expectations.

Especially the inside combination of Brandon Bass and Chris Anderson. Both are excellent inside players with excellent athletic ability. They are very suitable for the Hawks' tactical system and can buy more rest time for Garnett.

The Eagles' starting lineup is indeed relatively expensive, which means that even if the substitute lineup is relatively cheap, the total salary exceeds 68 million. The boss has to pay more than 7 million in luxury tax, which can be regarded as fulfilling his promise and spending money appropriately for Ke Yan.

However, if you want to compete for the championship, or if you want to ensure long-term competitiveness for the championship, it is inevitable to pay the luxury tax. The Rockets' style of shouting slogans every day, but actually getting nothing, is pure fantasy.

"Dah!"

"biu~~~~~~"

“Boom!

!”

A scarlet ray of light quickly climbed high into the sky, dragging a long tail of smoke, and then exploded into countless fireworks, illuminating half of the sky.

A summer carnival for Atlanta residents, the Coca-Cola Music Festival starts on time on August 21st!

The entire Knox Square has become a sea of ​​joy. All over the square, there are bands from all over the world singing and performing hard. It is like a joint trial before the NBA draft. Many 18th-tier bands

They all hope that performances at this kind of music festival will attract the attention of music companies such as Universal, Warner, and Rolling Stone, so that they can officially enter the music industry and make money.

"I heard that today is just a warm-up. Avril Lavigne, Kelly Clarkson, and Maroon 5 will all come tomorrow. And the day after tomorrow, there will be Linkin Park!" Huo Qingshu said excitedly.

Ke Yan usually only listens to music and doesn't pay much attention to the types of singers, but even so, he knows these few.

Avril Lavigne is the queen of Asia, Africa, and the designated heroine of some sports literature. Her rock music has a good influence among young people, and her appearance is also very good. Her smoky makeup, canvas shoes, and electric guitar are her standard accessories.

Kelly Clarkson, the singer of the BGM "because of you" in "The Return of the Princess", basically as soon as the melody of this song sounds, everyone starts to cycle in their minds, "He is the darling, and he is also the outcast; he

Being chased and exiled..."

I won’t talk about the others, but they have greater global influence! Coca-Cola spent a lot of money to organize this music festival. As for Ke Yan, just enjoy it.

When she came to the music festival, Huo Qingshu had a great time. When she got excited, she started singing loudly. However, her singing skills can be described in eight words as "all emotions, no skills."

To put it bluntly, it sounds ugly!

"What are you doing! What's your expression?" Huo Qingshu noticed Ke Yan's complicated expression and pretended to be angry.

"No, your singing is much better than hers!" Ke Yan said, pouting at a white girl next to him.

"Really?" Huo Qingshu glared at Ke Yan sideways and threatened.

This little shameless guy really dares to ask!

"What do you think?"

"Gan!" Huo Qingshu raised his foot and kicked Ke Yan to "vent" his emotions.

Huo Qingshu was a little unconvinced, but if he listened carefully to the girl's singing, it was not ordinary. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was the sound of nature.

Both Ke Yan and Huo Qingshu stayed beside the girl, their eyes met, and Ke Yan gave each other a thumbs up.

"Kimi, never, hello." The girl recognized Ke Yan, but mistook Huo Qingshu for Wang Lifan.

Can you confuse the charming Wang Lifan with the giant loli Huo Qingshu? Maybe in the eyes of white people, Asians are all the same?

"I'm not never." Huo Qingshu said quickly, "I'm not his girlfriend either. My name is greenbook."

"greenbook ?" She recognized the wrong person, and the girl immediately clasped her hands together to apologize, "But this name is so special."

"She literally translated her Chinese name. If I also used this translation method, I should be called sce!" Ke Yan laughed at himself, and was immediately elbowed in the ribs by Huo Qingshu.

"..." The girl looked at the two people fighting in front of her, shrugged, and then remembered to introduce herself, "Well, my name is Ariana Grande, from Florida."

"Ariana." Ke Yan nodded, "Your name is also rare, but you sing really well."

"Thank you. Were you just discussing my singing?"

Although Ke Yan and Huo Qingshu had been communicating in Chinese just now, some micro-expressions and body language are universally accepted.

"Yes, she said that she sings better than you." Ke Yan said, and was immediately hit by Huo Qingshu again.

Ariana gave a strange expression and did not agree with Key Yan's words.

After offending each other once, Huo Qingshu and Ariana were evenly matched.

"Can I request a song?" Ke Yan asked.

"Of course~"

Ariana has dreamed of being a singer since she was a child, and she came to the music festival hoping that she would be noticed by a large music company and that she could sing for local Atlanta "celebrity" Ke Yan, which would undoubtedly increase her exposure at the music festival.

""the day you went away"."

Ke Yan immediately ordered a song by the Nordic girl group m2m. It was also a song sung by a girl, which suited Ariana's voice very well.

"well i wonder could it be?"

when i was dreaming about you baby.

y of me....."

Ke Yan stopped next to Ariana, which indeed attracted more onlookers to Ariana. When singing in front of so many people, Ariana didn't have stage fright at all. She even became more enthusiastic as the number of people increased, and she sang even more

crazy.

"Cool!" Huo Qingshu said with sincere envy.

"This is a born singer, born for the stage." Ke Yan also praised.
