On January 27, the Hawks traveled to Toronto to play the Toronto Raptors again.

The two teams have traded frequently in recent years. When the Hawks have repeatedly strengthened their lineup through trades, the Raptors have been the targets of "coordinated crimes", but sometimes they can take advantage, and sometimes they can only suffer!

For example, in the recent big deal involving four teams, the Raptors were the winners. After Kwame Brown, the number one parallel import pick, "joined" the Raptors, he quickly replaced the starting position of another "parallel import number one pick" Bagliani.

, became the starting center of the Raptors. Immediately, the Raptors overturned a record of 4 wins and 3 losses in the next 7 games.

This result is not outstanding, but it is a signal for the Raptors to reverse their decline. The team spent more than 100 million to bring in Lewis in the summer, so they can't even make the playoffs.

From a tactical point of view, Kwame Brown and the Raptors are also a "match made in heaven". The Raptors' original lineup highlighted the word "soft". Bosh, the core of the team, is responsible for doing the dirty work and wiping the buttocks every day, supporting the rest of the team.

People output. Kwame Brown, a rough guy, joined the team. He had no other skills. He was able to carry the ball in the low post and grab rebounds. His presence was revealed unconsciously.

In the seven games he joined the Raptors, Kwame Brown averaged 8 points, 12 rebounds and 2 blocks per game. He was a top-notch blue-collar worker. If he can perform like this in the Lakers, Lakers fans will not give up on him.

Just like shoes.

But, even though the team's lineup has been strengthened, the Raptors' hard power is incomparable to that of the Eagles, let alone the Eagles, who have been resting for two days and are almost at full strength!

As soon as the game started, the Raptors were overwhelmed by the Hawks.

Garnett still has some reserve on the offensive end. He and Duncan both withdrew from the 20105 club this season. There have always been doubts about the two of them being "old and honest".

However, on the defensive end, Garnett called Bosh a "bloodline suppression". Bagliani retired to the bench to play as the sixth man, and Bosh took on more responsibilities on the offensive end. Most of the time, he

He digested this part of the ball very well, and his statistics also improved steadily. But when he met Garnett, Bosh couldn't stand up. He made 2 of 10 shots in the half and scored 7 points on free throws.

The team's "big boss" can't open up the situation, and the contribution that the Raptors' other firepower points can make is also quite limited. Only Lewis can contribute some points in a piecemeal manner, but in the end it's a drop in the bucket.

Paul played 34 minutes and scored 21 points, 11 assists, 6 rebounds and 2 steals. Five members of the Eagles team scored in double figures, easily winning 1o8 to 87.

...

On January 29, the Hawks defeated the Wizards 1o1-85 in an away game.

Arenas, the star player, suffered a knee injury and ended the season. The Wizards were replaced by Butler and Jamison, and their record did not suffer a big decline.

However, this stability is more about the fact that the team is less likely to lose the game due to Arenas' "wave", but the Wizards' competitiveness against strong teams has definitely declined. Not to mention, Jamison encountered

Garnett is no different from a mouse meeting a cat.

One of the two main scoring points was directly strangled. No matter how much Butler jumped, the Wizards could not overturn the sky... The Hawks easily won three consecutive victories, but there were also personnel losses in this game. Diaw rebounded

During the fight, Haywood hit his collarbone, causing a fracture. He is expected to be sidelined for six weeks.

Although there is a holiday during the All-Star Weekend, the next time Diaw appears on the team's roster, it will basically have to wait until the end of the season. Even if the team insists on "minor injuries and big recovery", it is not ruled out that Diaw will rest directly until the season.

Possibility of playoffs.

If Diaw's injury shakes the foundation of the Eagles, will there be some suspense about whether it will be considered a regular season champion?

...

In the last game of January, the Eagles had an easier match against the Bobcats. Iverson was absent, the Bobcats' offense was in a mess, and the Eagles easily won 1o4 to 72.

In the middle of the season, Iverson suffered two injuries of different degrees one after another, and rested for 6 and 10 games in succession. The Bobcats' performance plummeted, falling from seventh in the Eastern Conference to twelfth in the Eastern Conference. Bet on "Sny"

"De Iverson". As a result, the team still failed to advance to the playoffs for two consecutive seasons. Joe was very unhappy and even had "murderous intentions" towards Snyder.

There are some things, in fact, "natural disasters and man-made disasters". If Ke Yan took over the Lakers for half a season, Kobe would also suffer injuries one after another. No matter how good Ke Yan is, he will be blinded!

But sometimes, luck is also a part of strength. For example, Ke Yan encountered some twists and turns when he chose the Hawks, but among the teams that invited him, the Trail Blazers were richer, and the Magic had a ready-made team core in Howard.

, but Ke Yan still made the Eagles his first choice without hesitation, and even gave the Eagles two chances.

Why?

Just because this team has a weak foundation and does not have many junk contracts, it is convenient for operations and supports its own work.

Money is not about money. When you achieve results, it will come naturally. Ke Yan led the Hawks to achieve good results, and the Hawks tripled his salary in a hurry! It was almost close to the Blazers, the richest team at the time.

A contract can be issued.

As a comparison, the timing of Snyder taking over the Bobcats was not that good! At the beginning of the season, the team looked poor and weak. Such a team would either put it down or make a big deal.

Strong medicine! Snyder was eager to achieve results and brought Iverson to the team. Coupled with the chicken-blood effect of the "three talents of the new official", he helped the Bobcats achieve some results. Then what?

After the chicken season, the team's performance declined; given Iverson's age, injuries began to increase. Other players did not make significant progress, and the important summer signing Milicic could not save the team.

Snyder even missed out on a championship ring.

For him, it was really hurtful.

After the game, Ke Yan, Snyder, Hamblen, and Hornacek met for supper together again.

Snyder's situation is not very good, and he does not rule out being fired at any time. If he cannot find another job, Ke Yan is still happy to see Snyder's name on the coaching staff list for next season.

After all, there is no doubt about Snyder's coaching ability. This failure experience is both wealth and a warning to him. If he wants to leave Ke Yan casually next time, he has to think clearly...

.......

On February 1st, the Hawks began their last-ditch Western Conference trip before the Spring Festival. The first game was against the torn Portland Trail Blazers.

Oden's season reimbursement failed to stop the rise of the Blazers' young guard. After completing a 13-game winning streak last season and winning the top two spots for Rookie of the Year, the Blazers have further improved this season.

Brandon Roy has grown into a shooting guard in the league second only to Kobe Bryant and Wade. Ke Yan said this, not afraid of offending McGrady's fans, nor afraid of Joe Johnson's glassy heart in the team.

Aldridge also has great potential. He has low-post singles skills that are rare in the new generation of insiders. At the same time, he can clear the penalty area and complete a straight-arm jumper one step inside the three-point line. Like Garnett, he has the height of a center.

But since he has positioned himself as a power forward, his height has never been a disadvantage, and he has an advantage in rebounding; even Aldridge has a good personality.

In the first round of the season, the Trail Blazers defeated the Hawks in an away game. Roy scored 42 points and hit a quasi-winner, which officially announced the rise of the Trail Blazers.

In this game, due to Diaw's injury, Anderson continued to serve as the team's starting center, guarding the team's interior together with Garnett.

Aldridge beat Garnett in the jump ball. "The boxer is afraid of the young." Aldridge's bounce is average, but his height and wingspan are better than Garnett's. His jumping height is average, and he can't stand the fast bounce.

The players pulled away, Aldridge picked and rolled, Roy broke through with the ball, Anderson immediately changed defense, Roy passed the ball to the middle, Aldridge received the ball, but could not take action immediately because Garnett's defense was too fast.

Aldridge paused and passed the ball to Webster who was running. Battier was on defense. Webster failed to break through and made a jump shot. The ball bounced out of the basket and Anderson retreated to grab the rebound.

The Eagles attacked, Paul controlled the ball to the frontcourt, was not fast, and protected the basketball.

Joe Johnson and Garnett were setting up an off-ball screen, receiving the ball in the middle without covering, and pulling it up from the frame was a three-pointer. Roy's defense was a step too slow and he didn't have time to interfere. The arc of Joe Johnson's shot was very flat, and he shot it

Very positive, hit. 0:3.

When the Trail Blazers attacked, Joe Johnson defended Roy in the middle. When Aldridge came up for the pick-and-roll, Roy cooperated with him in a fake pick-and-roll and completed the breakthrough in reverse. He took a step inside the three-point line and hit the ball accurately.

In later generations, many fans who have never seen Roy play question Roy's strength. After all, from a resume perspective, Roy has only played in the first round twice in his career, and his personal statistics in the regular season are not outstanding. But in fact, in

During the peak years when the Lakers won two consecutive championships, the team in the league that was least afraid of the Lakers was the Trail Blazers. The famous game played by Roy vs. Kobe was far more famous than 23 vs. 24.

Why didn't the Trail Blazers break through the first round? Because there were too many injuries! Roy's statistics also looked average? Because McMillan is a Sloan-type coach, and he polished the team's excellent talent into a

For a team that only pays attention to defense and does not play fast breaks, Roy has no chance to score points on fast breaks. Secondly, the offensive organization can grasp it. The third reason may be that his physical fitness is limited, so he is somewhat selective in his efforts...

....With Diaw absent, the Hawks were unable to produce some offensive routines. The core players needed to take on heavier offensive tasks. Paul held the ball through half the court and passed the ball to Garnett, who was asking for the ball in the low post. The latter carried the ball behind him.

He leaned against Aldridge, turned towards the baseline, and scored with one hand at 2:5.

The two opponents in this Western Conference trip, the Trail Blazers and the Jazz, are not easy to deal with. Garnett no longer "pads" and begins to take on more offensive duties.

The Blazers' offense was launched through Roy's blast against Joe Johnson. Roy was not a very fast player, but against Joe Johnson, Roy unexpectedly found that he was the "dominant" side.

Due to the change in ball rhythm and the adjustment of the dribbling point, Roy suppressed Joe Johnson with an aggressive and "extremely strong" start, and then connected with a large forward change of direction to shake out the angle of the shot, and shot a mid-range jumper.

"Whoosh!"

Accompanied by the cheers of the home fans, Roy returned to defense and high-fived his teammates.

2006 is a small year for the draft. With the chips in the hands of the Hawks, they are fully capable of intercepting Hu Roy if they want, but Ke Yan did not do so. On the one hand, the team used most of the chips to recruit Garnett.

, promoting the Big Three; on the other hand, considering that both Paul and Roy have a very ball-hungry style of play, they are very inconsistent.

Roy's opening performance was very good, and Paul responded quickly. Facing Blake's defense, Paul relied on his excellent dribbling rhythm to start and stop quickly, disrupting Blake's defensive focus and grabbing the ball.

Before Prizbilla's defense came in, he made a layup with an underhand shot! (4:7)

The Trail Blazers attacked. Roy held the ball outside the three-point line and faced the frame. He waited for Webster to run on the side without the ball and pass the ball. Webster caught the ball and attracted Anderson to switch defense. He held the ball to open up the space. Aldridge

Empty cut.

Webster lobbed the ball over. Aldridge received the ball and leaned on Battier to turn to the middle and enter the penalty area. He took the ball with both hands and shook his shoulders. Battier shook his toes, raised his hands, and raised his center of gravity.

Taking a step forward and jumping, he threw the ball with his left hand from close range. 6:7.

The Eagles attacked. Garnetta broke through with the ball at the free throw line and made a sudden jump shot. He was unable to completely get rid of the defense. Under interference, Prizbilla grabbed the rebound.

This European insider originally stayed in the team as Oden's substitute, and was a bit reluctant to be a starter. However, his conscientious style of play coupled with the relatively complete defensive style of the Trail Blazers can form an organic complement, and the effect is actually good.

After landing, Prizbilla immediately distributed the ball to Roy, who passed the half court and controlled the ball to stabilize the rhythm without taking the opportunity to switch offense and defense!

It is true that the physical talents of the young Blazers are not as good as those of the Goose City Sanshao, and they cannot perform thunderous fast break counterattacks, but it is not that they cannot seize such opportunities for offense and defense transitions. It can only be said that the basketball instilled by McMillan

The thinking kind of kills their basketball consciousness.

But it is strange to say that usually, most of the coaches who stick to tactical discipline are academic coaches, like Larry Brown; as a "practical school", McMillan should be more liberal in his tactical style, and as a result, he became a "Sloan successor"

, and it’s really a bit difficult to understand.

Perhaps he was a little tired after the continuous positional battle. Roy made a mistake in handling the ball and was intercepted by Paul. The Eagles would not be polite to the Trail Blazers and directly launched a third-line fast break. Birdman Anderson rushed faster than

Everyone was fierce and crushed the Trail Blazers' defense, but it was Anderson behind him who succeeded in taking the cake. He caught the ball in one step inside the free throw line and scored a layup.

If he was young, if Garnett caught the ball in this position, he would most likely be able to dunk in one step, but now, he is really old.

"Unconsciously, many players who grew up with fans have also entered the end of their prime. The styles of Duncan and Garnett are changing. The league's scepter will slowly transition to James, Paul, Howard and others.

In the hands of young people." Seeing this scene, Yogi said with emotion.

Since the opponents in the 2007 Finals were not the Spurs and the Cavaliers, Duncan did not have the opportunity to say that famous saying to James. And what he changed was not just Duncan, but James's fate, many people, and many things would happen because of him.

changes due to existence.

The Trail Blazers continued to attack in positional battles. Compared with Bosh and Jamison, who were completely blocked by Garnett in the previous games, Aldridge's performance was much tougher. He was not only able to catch the ball at the free throw line and shoot from mid-range, but also

He was able to beat Garnett hard in the low post, and his toughness exceeded Ke Yan's expectations.

It is indeed the “little basic skills” that Ke Yan has praised by name many times!
