Chapter 258: The Test Stone of the Big Three (please support)
The substitute lineup still couldn't beat the Hawks. Seeing that things were not going well, Frank replaced the substitute lineup with Devin Harris leading the team.
After coming to the Nets, Devin Harris showed a better scoring ability than Kidd. He was good at using his speed to tear apart the opponent's defense, and he also had a quick mid-range jump shot.
However, there is a clear gap between his ability to organize offenses and Kidd's, and this became particularly obvious from the middle of the second quarter. When his teammates were weak and could not provide strong containment, Devin Harris's performance
He was struggling very much. Not only was he unable to drive his teammates, but his personal offense was also greatly affected, and he was completely unable to stop the points difference from widening further.
At the end of the first half, the Hawks led the Nets by 14 points, 63:49, and seemed to have a winning chance.
Meteor Rain sighed: "After withstanding the Nets' opening three blows, the Eagles quickly took control of the game. Before the start of the season, everyone was worried that their lineup was not as thick as last season, but based on the current situation
Look, the Hawks' management and coach Keyan did a great job in the summer. Barea has made great progress and is more than enough to play the role of a second point guard. The additions of Anderson and Bass also filled the shoes of Milisi.
The loss caused by Qi's departure. We can also think about it. In the season with the Lakers and the first two seasons with the Hawks, coach Ke Yan has always been able to build a strong bench. I believe this is not a coincidence."
Yang Yi continued to praise: "90% of the players who can play in the NBA are quite capable. If you put it in a lower-level game, that would be Jordan! But the NBA is the most demanding league in the world. If you miss an opportunity, you may be in trouble."
Before the second time, some of them were forced to transform, some were reduced to substitutes, and some even had to leave the NBA. Coach Ke is good at tapping out the characteristics of these players and enriching the team's lineup."
"Bass entered the league in 2005, and his performance in the two seasons with the Hornets was not worth mentioning. But after coming to the Hawks, he can find his position in time and display his own characteristics. There is already Steven
After the two examples of Si and Bass, perhaps more frustrated young people will choose Ke Yan to guide them."
What Meteor Rain said makes sense. Not to mention current NBA players, players who plan to enter the league in the 2008 draft also hope to have the opportunity to be selected by the Hawks. Not only can they win the championship, but they can also open themselves up as quickly as possible.
career!
In the third quarter of the game, the Nets tried to launch a counterattack under the leadership of the Trident. Jefferson suppressed Rush, and the effect was very obvious. When he broke through with the ball, Carter acted as a fort on the outside, and Harris's helpless
The ball movement was also very good, and he actually dismantled the Eagles' defense for a while.
However, with a big score behind, it was useless for the Nets to defend well. Battier, who was replaced by Ke Yan in the first half to adjust his touch, came into the battle in the second half and hit two consecutive three-pointers from the corner. In a single quarter, Battier
Scored 8 points to help the Eagles maintain their lead.
The Nets' morale gradually became low as the Nets' morale gradually became low as they were repulsed by the Eagles in successive counterattacks. The Eagles pursued the victory and opened the point difference to more than 20 points in one fell swoop. The balance of victory was also
Totally in favor of the Eagles.
In the end, the Hawks scored 110-92, defeated the Nets, and avoided a losing streak. (6-1)
The team's dual-core Paul and Garnett performed well, scoring 22 points, 9 assists and 26 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists respectively. In addition to the two of them, Buss and Battier also scored in double figures respectively.
Helped the team secure a victory.

After defeating the Nets, the Hawks took a day off and then faced the Pacers at home on November 12.
That is, on November 11, Wang Lifan posted a photo of Ke Yan and himself wearing rings on his Facebook account, and included a text informing fans that the two were getting married, which also made this game against the Pacers
During the game, live broadcast cameras frequently focused on Ke Yan.
Not surprisingly, everyone saw the ring in Ke Yan's hand, which once again confirmed that the news of Ke Yan's marriage was true. For a time, the fans in Atlanta became even more excited. Everyone felt that Ke Yan would not leave the Hawks since he got married in Atlanta.
.
As long as Ke Yan is here, Eagles fans will never have to worry about the team's performance declining or the team's style becoming ugly.
This season, the Pacers made major changes to their lineup. The team sent away O'Neal Jr. in exchange for Al Jefferson, who was young and had better potential. The team also completely revolved around Al Jefferson.
Dunleavy, Granger came to promote reconstruction.
It can really be said that the Pacers team has not been going well since the "Auburn Hills Palace Incident". Artest's trade brought in Stojakovi who had a hard time getting along with the team.
Odd, finally left on a free transfer; Dunleavy Jr. and Murphy, who were traded by Stephen Jackson, can only be said to be quite satisfactory and used in a makeshift manner; including the transaction of O'Neal Jr., it can be regarded as a "bargain shot", although the chips obtained from the transaction are
Quite a few, but the only one of real value is Al Jefferson.
The hard power has declined significantly. The Pacers are no longer the favorite team that faced the Pistons in the Eastern Conference finals a few years ago. Larry Bird's attempt to rebuild the team's culture may have to go through a painful running-in period. Such a
The Pacers, who are supporting the rebuilding period, are naturally no match for the Hawks.
In this game, the Eagles welcomed Diaw's comeback. The Frenchman returned to the starting position in the first game back and served as the team's starting center. He also exposed his defensive weaknesses to Al Jefferson.
Al Jefferson, a young insider, can almost be said to have the league's top low-post singles. Even Garnett can only try his best to limit it and cannot kill it; however, his hard attack in the inside requires a lot of physical strength after all.
Moreover, the Eagles' defensive formation tried its best to interfere with his catching and accelerate his physical consumption.
At the same time, on the offensive end, Ke Yan also arranged a lot of pick-and-roll tactics to target the strong offensive and defensive AJ; a pick-and-roll between Paul and Garnett or Diaw can find Al Jefferson, and then the opponent will turn into a "watching"
"Emperor", watching Paul attack again and again.
At his peak, Al Jefferson had outstanding statistics, top singles ability, and was Yao Ming's nemesis. However, he was the biggest legacy of the All-Stars because his defense was really poor. In addition to covering people in the low post, other defense
His form is not very good, and he is especially easy to be chased by the opponent's defender after using the pick-and-roll.
And Paul happens to be the league's top small-and-big-hitting expert. When he met Al Jefferson, he just hit his head and output, which easily helped the Hawks establish a considerable advantage.
116:98, the Hawks defeated the Pacers at home (7-1)
Paul, who caused Al Jefferson to collapse, played 34 minutes and made 10 of 16 shots, 2 of 3 three-pointers, 5 of 5 free throws, and scored 27 points, 9 assists, 3 rebounds and 1 steal, which was extremely efficient.
Garnett made 9 of 18 shots, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 22 points, 3 assists, 8 rebounds and 1 steal.
In the post-game interview, Pacers head coach Frank Vogel said helplessly to reporters:
"The Eagles' offense was very targeted, and our defense was completely broken by the Eagles. They have the best coach and the best lineup resources, and are the strongest team in the league."
Regardless of paper strength or real-time record, the Hawks are No. 1 in the league. In addition, they are in the relatively less competitive Eastern Conference. There is no doubt that the Hawks have occupied the top spot in the NBA power rankings for a long time.
What’s even more frightening is that in the seven games so far, the Hawks do not seem to be going all out. Garnett’s average playing time this season is only 32.1 minutes, the lowest in his career since his rookie season. This does not mean that
Garnett's decline in status is a kind of retention. Garnett is allocating more of his energy to more important games.
Winning and getting married can be said to be a double blessing for Ke Yan. He was interviewed after the game and was in a good mood.
"In the two games after losing to the 76ers, the team's performance has improved. Considering that we have had a certain degree of replacement during the offseason, such a running-in period is very necessary, and our tactics have also improved to a certain extent this season.
Adjustment, it is very important that the players can complete the re-adjustment in such a short period of time, and I hope this season can be on the right track."
Ke Yan's words are a bit "Versailles", 7 wins and 1 loss, winning rate 87.5%, first in the league, you are here to "change blood", "run-in period", "not in good condition", if you are in good condition, you must not
Leading the team to 73 wins?
Sure enough, a reporter actually asked whether Ke Yan was confident of surpassing last season's regular season results.
"This is really difficult! We achieved 68 wins last season, which is already an amazing result. To surpass it, we need at least 69 wins, which would be second in history. This is incredible. I can't enjoy that now.
Far away, what I want to make sure is the health of the players and the team entering the playoffs in a relatively advantageous position. The health of the players is the most important thing."
Ke Yan didn't say it clearly, but he expressed an attitude between the lines. Regular season results are not that important, and the championship is the more ambitious goal.
.
.
.
In the first eight games of the season, the Eagles defeated seven of their opponents, showing a stable ability to "abuse" them. However, in the next five days, they will encounter three competitive opponents in a row.
Celtics, Spurs and Heat, this is a big test for the team.
After completing their "big gamble" in the summer, the Celtics assembled a rather strong "Big Three" lineup. The additions of Ray Allen and O'Neal helped the Celtics quickly build up their combat effectiveness. The team's head coach
Rivers also shouted the slogan "fight for the championship".
In addition to the Big Three, the Celtics also have a group of young talents such as Rondo, Perkins, and Tony Allen, as well as a group of capable players such as James Posey and Troy Hudson.
, the strength is indeed very strong.
In the latter part of last season, the Celtics let go of the giants and lost face. Although they did not get the ideal pick to win Durant, it was not worthless. At least Rondo, Tony Allen, Gerald Green,
Al Jefferson and these young people have been fully trained and have accumulated enough chips for the team's reconstruction. At present, Al Jefferson brought O'Neal Jr. and Rondo to the team and became the team's starters.
The point guard is quite capable.
The more critical point is that after forming the Big Three, the Celtics did not fiddle with anything in the free agent market and stopped moving forward. Instead, they spent whatever they wanted; this is much better than the "cost-conscious" Eagles.
A lot of pride.
The Celtics, who have formed the Big Three, are one of the teams that have attracted the most attention this season. The game against the defending champion Eagles has also been included in the national live broadcast plan. ESPN has arranged ace commentators Mike Breen and Mark Jackson.
Let’s explain this game.
"Welcome to the NBA 2007-2008 season brought to you by ESPN, the regular season contest between the Hawks and the Celtics. I am Mike Breen, the commentator for this game, and the person sitting next to me is Mark Jackson...
"
"Okay, players from both sides have come to the court. For the Eagles, Joe Johnson is still absent. Paul, Kareem Rush, Shane Battier, Kevin Garnett, and Boris Diaw are leading the game; Kyle
The Special Team continued the previous starting lineup, Rajon Rondo, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, Jermaine O'Neal, and Kendrick Perkins. It should be said that the impact of Joe Johnson's absence from the game is relatively large. It depends on
How did Kimi cope?"
"The referee blew the whistle - Jermaine O'Neal overpowered KG and passed the ball to Pierce. Pierce passed it to Rondo and the game officially started!"
In Mike Breen's quick and clear voice, the game between the Hawks and Celtics officially kicked off.
The Celtics took possession of the ball for the first offense. As the Eagles fans shouted "defense", Rondo dribbled the ball across half court and casually threw the ball to Ray Allen on the right side of the three-point line.
Then run 45 degrees to the left three-point line.
Ray Allen didn't stick to the ball. He lobbed the ball to Pierce who was backing up to get the ball in the corner, and then cut directly. O'Neal pulled out and gave him a single screen, and then continued to put it up to cover Pierce.
At this moment, Pierce suddenly started in reverse, catching Battier off guard. Rush, who was guarding O'Neal Jr., switched to cover and stopped when Pierce attacked the frame to avoid a foul. (0:2)
"wtf~" Ke Yan shook his head, a little dissatisfied with Rush's defensive choice. It was really not good to be so cowardly on the first goal!
The Hawks attacked, and after Paul dribbled the ball across half court, Garnett took the initiative to go up to the top of the key and set a screen for him.
Rondo's defensive switching ability is very strong. After O'Neal initially delayed Paul, he immediately got stuck with the opponent, and his pursuit line was very stuck, not giving Paul a chance to pass the ball to Garnett.
At this time, Diaw's role was revealed. He pulled out to catch the ball, attracted O'Neal's change of defense, and then handed the ball to Garnett who was passing down. The Wolf King faced Perkins guarding the penalty area and jumped to the ground.
It rises up and causes the opponent to foul.
When he was young, Garnett would have had a dunk no matter what; but at this age, he should be more or less "healthy"~
I couldn't "mix" the assist data, but Diaw seemed to respond step by step and distribute the ball to lubricate the Eagles' offense.
Garnett made one of two free throws, and the game was somewhat cold at the start.
Rondo held the ball past half court and used Perkins' pick-and-roll to cut into the penalty area. He suddenly started and stopped suddenly, taking away Diaw's defensive focus and succeeded in a reverse layup. (1:4)
In the new season, the Celtics achieved a good record of 6 wins and 2 losses, ranking second in the Eastern Conference. In addition to the Big Three, Rondo's performance played an important role. Compared with Paul, Rondo is more like Kidd's successor, with his height and arms.
Long, excellent defense, first in passing, sharp breakthroughs; even their shortcomings can be matched, both of them are not good at shooting, what about their personalities.
.
.
There are also some problems.
Moreover, Rondo is very competitive. Although he is far behind Paul in terms of resume and strength, he thinks he is not weaker than Paul at all. In this game, he also has the idea of competing with Paul.
Therefore, Rondo worked very hard on the defensive end to guard Paul, preventing Paul from easily scoring.
