On December 13, the Hawks played at home against the Los Angeles Clippers.

On this day, there was a Chinese derby match between Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian, so CCTV focused all its attention on Houston; however, Xinglang Sports concentrated its resources on Ke Yan. This was also the first game that Huo Qingshu participated in since he became a special reporter for Xinglang Sports.

, after getting a media pass, she ran around the venue, taking photos everywhere to increase her presence, and no one stopped her.

It was the first time he appeared on camera. Although he was a little busy and panicked, Huo Qingshu found it particularly interesting to participate in the competition in such a new capacity. He connected with the commentator in the broadcast room. Although he was a little stumbling when speaking, he still expressed his thoughts clearly.

If you pass it on to the studio, you can give yourself a score of 70.

There is a big gap in strength between the Hawks and the Clippers. The Hawks are currently first in the league with 18 wins and 5 losses, while the Clippers only have a record of 6 wins and 17 losses and are second to last in the Western Conference. The suspense of this game is not very high.

big.

Also because of the strength gap between the two teams, Ke Yan once again made a rotation of personnel in this game. Joe Johnson missed the game due to "hip tightness" and Karim Rush took over the starting lineup.

Ke Yan comes on the court and gives these weird reasons to give players a rest, which has become a joke for Chinese fans. In fact, the NBA is also somewhat dissatisfied with this behavior, but you have to admit the effect. The Eagles

The team's control of injuries should be the best in the league.

In the comparison of strength between the two teams, the Hawks have a clear advantage; but the Clippers are not without their own strengths. The inside combination of Brand Kaman and the offensive ability in the low post are the Clippers' very powerful scoring.

means.

After the opening, the Clippers also obviously focused their attack on the inside. Kaman played Diaw alone. With his obvious advantages in height and strength, he could easily squeeze into the inside to complete the score.

However, for this pair of insiders, the offensive end is 11>2, and the defensive end is dragging each other down. Both of them are slow in footwork, poor in assisting defense, and poor in pick-and-roll defense. Against someone like Paul, who is small and powerful,

"Grandmaster" is no different from a cash machine.

In the first quarter of the game, Paul frequently used pick-and-rolls to fire in the mid-range, killing Brand and Kaman; and if Livingston and Cassell chose to double-team Paul, Garnett would also become a disadvantage for the Clippers.

Nightmare.

In the first quarter of the game alone, Paul contributed a college performance of 8 of 10 shots. He scored 17 points and 3 assists in a single quarter, helping the Eagles lead the Clippers by 17 points 44:27!

44 points also became the Eagles’ highest score in a single quarter this season!

Even though the main players were rested, they still played so hard. In the first quarter, the suspense of the game was lost. The Eagles' performance was so "brutal" that even the referees couldn't stand it. In the second quarter, quickly

The Fleet began to chase points under the leadership of Maggette. This wing player with extremely good physical fitness was Harden's "jdz mayor" before. He was good at attacking the inside and causing fouls; and the referee also gave him face frequently by sending him free throws.

line, helping the Clippers recover the point difference back to single digits.

However, the referee's "extra drama" ends here. During David Stern's time in charge of the league, the referee's control of the field was mostly within the tolerance range. At least the game was still a game. At most, the standards were sometimes strict and sometimes loose.

It's not a show; when Adam Silver takes office, it will really be a demonstration of the art of field control on the finals stage "I want you to die at the third watch, who dares to keep you until the fifth watch".

In the first half of the third quarter, the Hawks made another effort to open the point difference to 20, and then they have been firmly controlling the situation of the game. They did not give the referee any further comment until the Clippers withdrew their main players and surrendered.

Opportunity to be a monster.

The final score was fixed at 111:89, and the Eagles won at home (19-5).

Unconsciously, the Eagles had another four-game winning streak. Compared with last season, when they scored 12 consecutive victories three times, setting a league record since the new century, the team's winning rate this season has declined slightly; but it cannot be

What is undeniable is that with frequent rotations and retention of strength, the Eagles' performance has tended to be stable, and their control of the game has become somewhat "veteran and strong". This is also a sign that a team is maturing.

The day after winning four games in a row, the Hawks lost an important member of their coaching staff. The Timberwolves officially announced Atkins' appointment. For the second consecutive season, the Hawks poached an assistant coach in the middle of the season.

Like Ke Yan, Atkins is a coach who is keen on developing the potential of young players. The Timberwolves have a group of young talents such as Bynum, Horford, Rudy Gayin, and David Lee; at the same time, the current situation is not good.

The Heat also have a good first-round pick, and the team has a lot of young people for Atkins to train.

For both parties, the other is a suitable choice.

However, Eagles fans vented their displeasure online.

"MD, poaching assistant teachers is like cutting leeks, one crop after another! Who can withstand this!"

"The assistants left one by one. I don't know whether to be happy or sad for Key Yan."

"Without people like Zhong Xingmin and Michael Lin, Jay Chou is still Jay Chou; similarly, leaving two assistant coaches will definitely have an impact, but Ke Yan will definitely be able to cover it up! We ourselves need to know who has the thickest thigh.

!”

"To be honest, it depends on the follow-up additions. After Shi Nai left, Atkins joined the team and basically integrated seamlessly into the team. But after Atkins left, a new person might not be able to continue.

Yes, good assistant coaches are rare in the NBA, even harder to find than good players."

As half of Ke Yan's spokesperson, Huo Qingshu also wrote an article on the forum, expressing concerns that Ke Yan's coaching team would leave every year.

To be blunt, the adjustment of the coaching team may have a greater impact on Ke Yan than the replacement of the bench lineup. After all, when it comes to players, no matter how poor the Eagles are, at least Ke Yan can make a comeback through the draft, right? Compared to

Under this situation, good assistant coaches are brought out one by one, and they all leave in the middle of the season. The impact is too great!

On December 15, the Eagles faced a challenge from the powerful Utah Jazz at home, and Paul also encountered Deron Williams, his "lifetime enemy" in his previous life.

The reason why I emphasize it is the past life is because Paul is not so afraid of Deron at the moment. In the direct dialogue between the two, the statistics are basically 50-50, and the record is also that Paul wins more than he loses. Therefore, Deron does not "eat and sleep"

To talk about "beating Paul", the most I can say is that Deron is a more difficult opponent for Paul, and that's it.

In recent years, a type of team has appeared frequently in the Western Conference, which occasionally broke out for a year and then fell into mediocrity. This was the case for the SuperSonics in the 0405 season, and this was the case for the Clippers in the 2005 season.

The Jazz team in front of us is much more "stable". Relying on the advantage of Plateau's home court and the management of coach Sloan, the team's winning rate has steadily exceeded 60%, and it has always maintained a ranking of 4 to 5 in the Western Conference.

float.

However, this team "succeeds because of the home field advantage and failed because of the home field advantage". Without the energy solution center, its combat effectiveness dropped by more than one level.

After losing Fisher in vain, the Jazz chose to fill his vacancy through "internal tapping". Second-year rookie Ronnie Brewer was appointed to the starting lineup. This wing player is also a typical "Jazz player"

, his defense is solid, his physical fitness is acceptable, he has an unstable mid-range hand, and he is willing to run tactics; his shortcoming is that he is not outstanding in any aspect, and can even be said to be a bit mediocre.

In the playoffs last season, Kirilenko was very successful in defending Tracy McGrady, and his performance in frequently covering up the inside and helping to defend Yao Ming is still remembered by Chinese fans; but in fact, ak47's defense is really not like the camera.

Although he performed so well in the game, his footwork is somewhat disadvantageous as the third position, and he cannot withstand some powerful small forwards in confrontation;

On the offensive end, Kirilenko was demoted from his core position in the Jazz because he lacked scoring methods and his mid- and long-range shooting was very unstable. He can be used as a panacea to lubricate the team's offense, but you can't

If you expect him to play the role of a scorer, you can't even expect him to become an efficient shooter.

The wing players have neither impact nor reliable shooting ability; the center position is a kite man with a relatively tough style of play. The Jazz's offense can only rely on Deron and Boozer to pick and roll again and again. This kind of offense

It's obviously too monotonous, especially in front of Garnett.

Although the Hawks' own offense did not perform smoothly in the face of the high-intensity confrontation imposed by the Jazz, the highly targeted defense helped the team limit the Jazz's total score to 85 points.

The final score was fixed at 99:85. The Eagles won at home. Relying on their recent winning streak, the team's winning rate increased to 80%. (20-5)

After the game, Ke Yan accepted an interview with Huo Qingshu. In addition to summarizing the game, he also talked about the "Chinese Derby" that will start on Christmas Eve.

"This is also my first Christmas after getting married. I think it is very meaningful to be able to play Christmas Day with Yao Ming on this day. I have made an appointment with Yao Ming. Regardless of the victory or defeat, I will invite Yao Ming to our home.

." Ke Yan looked at Huo Qingshu and said.

In this gathering, Ke Yan also included Huo Qingshu.

"Since the start of the season, many people have been saying that the Eagles have problems of one kind or another this season, but unknowingly, the team's winning rate has increased to 80%. It seems that it is not difficult for the Eagles to achieve a winning streak.

What do you have to say about this?" Huo Qingshu asked.

"I still stick to my point of view. In competitive sports, it is not the strong who wins, but the winner who is strong! There is no team without weaknesses in this world. Winning can cover up all weaknesses."

The Hawks, who had won five consecutive games, were full of momentum, but at this moment, their winning streak came to an abrupt end. Their opponent was the Portland Trail Blazers, a young guard who had risen strongly this season.

The 2007 season must be a happy one for the Trail Blazers. In 2006, a recognized draft year, the team got two of the best rookies, Luo Yin and Aldridge, plus second-year Webster.

A 13-game winning streak! Although the team ultimately ranked tenth in the Eastern Conference and missed the playoffs, the potential of this group of young people allowed fans to see the future of the Trail Blazers!

In the lottery ceremony of the 2007 draft, Luo Yin participated in the lottery on behalf of the Trail Blazers and won the No. 1 pick with a very low probability, bringing the team "the key to the next era of centers." Greg Oden,

It also made fans begin to imagine the bright and broad future of "Luo Yin, Aldridge, and Oden".

Although Oden was injured playing pick-up ball before the start of the game, this did not affect the Trail Blazers' progress. The team introduced Blake during the offseason and formed "Blake, Luo Yin, Webster, Aldridge, Pu

Liz Villa's starting lineup has amazed the entire league since the start of the season. The team currently has a record of 16 wins and 9 losses, ranking fourth in the Western Conference. The results are even better than those of teams such as the Rockets, Mavericks, and Jazz.

In this game, these young people also played like crazy. Luo Yin showed his terrifying strength. He took 26 shots and hit 16 goals with a shooting rate of 61.5%, including 4 of 6 three-pointers and 7 of free throws.

7, scored 43 points in the game!

Throughout the game, Joe Johnson, Battier, and even Paul tried to switch defenses on Luo Yin, but to no avail. Luo Yin, who felt hot, was simply possessed by Kobe.

Call Luo Yin "Yellow Mamba"!

117:122, the Eagles lost at home. It can be seen from McMillan's excited expression how proud he is of defeating Ke Yan! (20-6)

In the 0405 season, both men rose to fame at the same time. Ke Yan, who took over the Lakers halfway, led the team to counterattack the Sonics in the playoffs, and then fought the Spurs in seven games in the Western Conference semifinals, overshadowing those who had better regular season results.

McMillan; even the Trail Blazers wanted to break the contract and invite Ke Yan when they had already reached a signing agreement with McMillan in advance.

In the next two seasons, the two young coaches seemed to be on different tracks. McMillan struggled to rebuild in the quagmire of the Trail Blazers and remove the stain of the Portland Prison team; while Ke Yan soared into the sky and was no longer there.

Limited to the title of "Young Coach", he directly became the best head coach in the NBA.

Finally, after two seasons of hard work, McMillan saw hope of catching up with Ke Yan. After truly "defeating" Ke Yan, he also had mixed feelings in his heart.

If you work hard, God will not let you down. If you work hard and endure hardships, three thousand Yue Jia can swallow Wu!

To be honest, McMillan is a good coach. In terms of style, he really has a lot in common with Jerry Sloan. If the Trail Blazers have fewer injuries, maybe McMillan can also become a long-term coach for Ke Yan.

opponent.

What a pity!

After a day off, the Eagles took a special flight to Canada and challenged the King of the North, the Toronto Rams, in an away game. They slaughtered their opponents with a score of 115:83 (21-6).

In this game, the Menglong team was missing two main players, TJ Ford and Barriani, and its strength declined significantly. In the last moment of the last game, they failed to withstand the counterattack of the Trail Blazers and lost the game, which also caused the Eagles to lose.

I held my breath in my heart. This game was completely lost on the Menglong team's weak inside line.

He spent a lot of money to sign Lewis in the summer, but his performance this season has declined instead of rising. He is currently ranked tenth in the Eastern Conference. Bosh, the core of the team, is playing more uncomfortable than before. The Dragons can be said to have "lost both their wives and their soldiers."

This game was beaten badly by the Eagles, and the team's ranking continues to decline. If there is no way to reverse the current situation, the Menglong team will become a joke!

On November 21, the Hawks defeated the Detroit Pistons 104:90 away from home (22-6).

In the first round of the season, the Pistons defeated the Hawks, who had an incomplete lineup, and avenged last season's playoffs; in this game, it was the Hawks' turn with the full lineup to beat the Pistons, who were without Billups.

.

In the past few seasons, the Pistons suppressed the Hawks in the regular season, and Billups played a crucial role in suppressing Paul. Even Paul chose to gain weight in the summer, partly because of Billups. This game

, when Billups didn't play, Paul would spread his arms and push Pistons backup point guard Hunter to deal damage!

Once upon a time, Hunter was the most defensive point guard in the league, even stronger than Billups; but now, he is older and his footwork is not as good as before, which is obvious against young people like Paul.

It’s beyond our capabilities!

Hunter's current situation is not just a reflection of his own problems, but the entire Pistons are in such a situation! Their defense is becoming increasingly difficult to resist the impact of other teams, and their offense requires precision for every ball.

, the complex coordination also consumes a lot of our own players.

If this continues, the Pistons' decline is not far away!

On December 22, the Hawks played back-to-back games against the Orlando Magic away from home and lost the game 87:104.

Basically, this is not a fair contest. The Hawks are playing their second game in just 28 hours, and they are playing away from home; while the Magic are just waiting to work after a day's rest. The preparation conditions are very different.

!

In an extremely unfavorable situation, Ke Yan formulated a game strategy of "grabbing the beginning", hoping that the team would establish an advantage at the beginning of the game, and then use the "shark-killing tactic" to kill the Magic team's fighting spirit, and at the same time obtain more opportunities for the main players.

More rest time.

However, this strategy was basically bankrupt from the beginning of the game. The Eagles' own offense did work well, and the good shooting touch of the two guns in the backcourt helped the Eagles score quickly; but the team's Achilles' heel "backcourt rebounds" also failed

Caught by the Magic, Howard and Josh Smith helped the team "rebound" time and time again. The Magic made secondary attacks many times, but Ke Yan's strategy failed.

As the game progressed, the Eagles' physical disadvantage became more and more obvious, and it became increasingly difficult for the team to match the intensity of the Magic. The situation also developed in an unfavorable direction for the Eagles. At halftime, the Eagles were 45.

:55, 10 points behind the Magic.

In the second half of the game, the Hawks resisted symbolically for half a quarter and then withdrew their main players, then retreated and watched the Magic win the game (22-7).

Having suffered two defeats recently, Ke Yan is not in a good mood. It is not entirely because of the loss, but because the team has exposed a huge problem this season and cannot limit the opponent's wing scorers.

So far, Kobe Bryant has scored 50 for the Hawks; Anthony and Luo Yin have contributed 40; James and Durant have scored 35, and Pierce has scored 30.

.

Although some games were due to Battier's absence, there were also some games where Battier played, and the Eagles still failed to solve the team's flank defense problem!

The team as a whole has retained its strength this season. Garnett has reduced the frequency of his defensive expansion and flanking the ball carrier, which is part of the reason. However, many of the problems on the Eagles' defensive end seem to be caused by "Garnett's retention of strength".

"As an excuse, this is unusual in itself! Is it possible that the careless Garnett can solve multiple defensive problems by himself?

Rather, the Eagles have many problems. The main players have slacked off on the defensive end. Compared with last season, the substitute players have more skill points focused on offense. There is no player like "Stevens" who can be used as a defensive player.

A backup plan for Ke Yan when he wants to strengthen his defense!

"Maybe the idea of ​​team building has really gone to extremes!"

.

.

.

On December 23, Ke Yan came to the office and urged Larry Sands to contact the Bulls to test the Bulls' asking price for Shannon Brown.

The Bulls already have four players, Hinrich, Ben Gordon, Sefolosha, and Larry Hughes, sharing the playing time in the two backcourt positions. They really don’t care much about Shannon Brown. If it is from other teams,

Come and talk, maybe the Bulls will let him go on the spot.

But the Hawks are different. In recent years, Ke Yan has discovered many low-level players who can play, including the second-round picks he selected. Most of them can be used. This also gave the Bulls management an extra thought and proposed to talk to the head coach.

Scales discussed it before making a decision.

No way, who made Ke Yan so famous?

Faced with Larry Sander's ridicule, Ke Yan was speechless: "I know I have good vision, but it's not something that everyone should be taboo about, right?"

Ke Yan's glorious history is far different from Popovich's selection of Parker at the end of the first round and Ginobili's selection in the second round, right? Even Popovich is not to the point where no one will trade with him, right?

?

In fact, the threat of Ke Yan is indeed not that great. The Bulls' refusal to trade is not only because of Ke Yan, but because the Bulls themselves are not in a good situation. They are at the cusp of the storm. At this time, the management

The more cowardly.

As the saying goes, "Do more and you'll make more mistakes; do less and you'll make fewer mistakes." This is the mentality of the Bulls' management.

"What do you think of next year's rookies?" Larry Sander asked.

"I prefer to choose the wing! Batum and Courtney Lee are both good. But our draft picks may not be able to select them. If necessary, we can make a trade with Gasol." Ke Yan thought for a while.

, said.

The Hawks have Garnett and Diaw, and Anderson is also his direct descendant, so there is a high probability that he will stay with the team. Gasol may not have many opportunities to join the Hawks.

With his performance in the international arena, his trade value has increased, which may be a new idea for the Eagles.
