After leaving the SuperSonics in 2005 and signing a four-year, $20 million contract with the Trail Blazers, McMillan personally invested in the rebuilding of the Trail Blazers.

To be fair, although his tactics are somewhat rigid, McMillan is a conscientious coach. Last season, Luo Yin and Aldridge had some conflicts in the locker room. McMillan sacrificed his vacation and often asked them out together.

Fishing eases the relationship between the two people and allows the team's twin stars to play closely together.

From eliminating thorns to selecting two cornerstones in a row in the 2006 draft; from being undervalued to a young guard who achieved 13 consecutive victories in a single season, if it weren't for Ke Yan's bug, McMillan would have been the best in the past two seasons.

The most successful young coach in rebuilding the team.

[To be honest, I have recently updated it, switched sources, and have many reading sounds, yeguoyuedu. Available on Android and Apple.]

But compared to Ke Yan, what he lacks is one is the vision of a traveler, missing Paul, Deron, and Durant one after another, which is a bit "unforgivable"; the other is tactical flexibility.

Sitting on the most talented youth team in the league, McMillan worked hard to temper this group of people. He mainly focused on defense and pick-and-rolls, and almost never played fast breaks. The starting lineup really used positional warfare to push the Eagles' defense.

.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the "shifter" in the Blazers' formation came out. Outlaw, Lewis's size, and Crawford's one-on-one style of play basically didn't pass the ball after receiving the ball. They all directly

Kill inside!

Although his ability to combine man and ball is average, with the bonus of "long arms and long legs", Outlaw's offense can still guarantee a certain level of efficiency if his opponents don't deliberately target him in the regular season.

As a 3D-type insider, Channing Fletcher's style of play matches the Blazers' lineup just right.

Speaking of Chan Ning Fu Lai, he should be one of the first players to take the initiative to transform into a 3D inside player. He was an all-around attacker in college. After a short "training" in the NBA, he focused on three-point shooting and gave up.

Other scoring methods.

It has to be said that this is a very wise choice. Channing Fletcher has also relied on this "high fort" style of play and the positioning of a role player to "survive" in the league for more than ten years, and in his career

At the end of the game, he won a championship ring.

Outlaw felt good today and helped the Trail Blazers regain some points; Ke Yan couldn't sit still and replaced Garnett in advance, specifically to target Outlaw's "long arms and legs."

In the second half of the second quarter, Ke Yan used a lineup of "Paul, Sefolosha, Joe Johnson, Battier, and Garnett" with one senior and four juniors, and the Trail Blazers instantly fell into a disadvantage.

On the offensive end, the five players in the Eagles' lineup have considerable shooting ability and can open up the space. Whether it is a pick-and-roll or Garnett's singles, the players' offensive environment is very good, and their movement is more convenient; and

On the defensive end, no matter whether McMillan uses Prizbilla or Channing Fletcher, they will not take advantage of Battier's offensive skills. Channing Fletcher is a high-powered turret, but he needs space to shoot. Battier

His flexible movements made him very uncomfortable playing.

Sefolosha's defense against Luo Yin was also very successful. Even using the pick-and-roll, neither Battier nor Garnett was easy to deal with! Luo Yin was forced to choose a pull-up jumper, and his shooting percentage dropped significantly.

At halftime, the Eagles led by 9 points at 62:53.

In the third quarter of the game, the Hawks insisted on the "one big and four small" formation, just to deal with the Trail Blazers who had an unpreventable inside line; and McMillan was really like Brooks in the 2012 Finals. I don't know.

After changing the formation, I watched Battier take 5 outside shots in this quarter and hit 3 goals!

Even CCTV commentators complained: "Coach McMillan insists on not giving up the team's inside defense, but Ke Yan takes advantage of this and focuses on the outside. You have to find a way!"

In the 2012 Finals, Brooks would rather die than replace Perkins. Part of the reason is because once the inside line is evacuated, James and Wade will break through even more unscrupulously, and Yin Baka will have a hard time defending Bosh; but McMillan

In his hands, Aldridge actually had all the conditions to move to center, but he was reluctant to play center, and McMillan also had some concerns, so he did not "play tricks" with him.

McMillan couldn't think of a way and could only watch his team being chased by the Eagles and widening the point difference.

After three quarters, the Eagles led 90:72 by 18 points, basically sealing the victory of this game.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, McMillan defeated the main force and let Luo Yin and Aldridge lead the team.

This trick of "Tian Ji Horse Racing" has achieved miraculous results. After successive trades, the Eagles' bench lineup is somewhat "defensive and weak." Barea usually leads the team's offense. In special circumstances, Joe Johnson will be arranged to lead the bench.

A wave of operations by the Trail Blazers narrowed the point difference to 6 points, and also allowed Ke Yan, who was originally preparing to "send troops away", to return to the main lineup.

Since they have to go to the Energy Solution Center to face the Jazz the day after tomorrow, the physical crisis of the Hawks' "Western Expedition" is not obvious. Garnett and Joe Johnson dominate the team's offense, and there is no trace of Lake at all when it is time to exert force.

Slowly the point difference widened again.

With 3 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the point difference was still stable at around 13 points. Seeing that there was no hope of chasing points, McMillan replaced the main player.

In the end, the Hawks defeated the Trail Blazers 115:103 in an away game, and their first place ranking in the league became more stable.

After the game, Sefolosha was once again named and praised by the media. In the mid-season trade, Sefolosha's role was the most obvious. After Stevens left, the Hawks could easily be attacked by the opponent's wing star.

The addition of Sefolosha has prevented this from happening.

At the press conference, when talking about the deal, Ke Yan was also proud of his vision: "The reason why I agreed to this deal is that I think it is extremely beneficial to our team."

Even if Gasol's signing rights and the outstanding performance of Bass were used to acquire Sefolosha, Ke Yan has no regrets at all. After all, "defending the title" is the most important thing!

On February 3, the first team to "sweep" the Hawks this season was announced. The Jazz narrowly defeated the Hawks 106:102 at the Energy Solutions Center.

The Eagles' offensive performance was average. The Jazz players playing at home felt really good. Deron and Boozer both scored 20. Okur also shot 5 of 9 three-pointers. Who can stop this?

?

Being "double-killed" by the Jazz this season, Ke Yan didn't care too much. To put it bluntly, the Jazz and the Hawks are the opponents with the least conflict of interest. The Hawks are the "championship team" and the Jazz are the "second-tier team" in the Western Conference.

The possibility of breaking out of the Western Conference is slim. Moreover, if the Hawks really play at full strength, even with the home court advantage, the Jazz may not be able to withstand it.

On February 5, the Eagles defeated the Bucks again at home 109-101, avoiding a losing streak.

Paul and Joe Johnson scored 30. Even if others were not feeling good, only Garnett barely scored 15 points, and the Hawks still won.

This game can be regarded as a New Year gift arranged by the NBA for Chinese fans. However, Chinese fans support the Bucks and Yi Jianlian even more, which makes Ke Yan a little unhappy.

The fans' thinking is very simple. Even if the Hawks lose one or two games, they are still first in the league; the Bucks are currently ranked 11th in the Eastern Conference, 3 games away from the eighth-place Wizards in the Eastern Conference. If they work hard, they can still compete.

Normally, Ke Yan wouldn't say anything. But during the Spring Festival, no one would feel comfortable being treated as a "villain"!

In the last game before the All-Star break, the Hawks went to Memphis next door and picked up the Grizzlies on the road, winning easily.

At this point, the NBA will usher in a week of rest, and everyone's attention will be focused on the New Orleans All-Star Game. The Hawks' Big Three will join forces to attack. And Ke Yan also ushered in a week of New Year's holiday.

According to the established plan, Keyan compensated his wife with a vacation trip to New Zealand.

The team's lineup has been basically completed, and there is no need to make any transactions to adjust it, so Ke Yan's trip does not have much burden. However, after all, he is going to a country in the southern hemisphere, and it is difficult to communicate in time if there is any emergency. Ke Yan also asked Larry Sander,

Send an email if something happens.

This is actually the benefit of working in the United States, respecting employees’ private time. In my previous life, I was always “everyone” on WeChat.

I don’t know which fool was the first to use a social software like WeChat as a “work software”.

After registration, Ke Yan took off his jacket and covered their knees, reached out and held Wang Lifan's delicate and soft fingers with his palm, and rubbed his thumb on the back of his hand. Wang Lifan was teasing and laughing, his eyes and eyebrows full of charming charm.

"I never thought I would go out to play during the Spring Festival!" Wang Lifan said.

Although the Wang family has moved to the United States a few years ago and has not lived much in Chinatown, they still have an inheritance of traditional culture.

Some clues about this can be seen from Wang Lifan's education. She came to the United States when she was five years old. She attends classes and reads books in English every day, but she has not fallen behind in either Mandarin or Cantonese, which shows that she uses it in daily life.

Mother tongue communication.

"Sorry, the time I can give you is really too little. You have to ask for leave from the professor." Ke Yan said seriously.

"Nevermind~" Wang Lifan used a joke often said by Ke Yan to lighten the atmosphere, "Without you, I wouldn't have been admitted so easily."

"Never, one day in the future, I may buy a team, and then we may have to leave Atlanta. Are you okay?" Ke Yan revealed his plan to Wang Lifan and said.

".

So fast?" Wang Lifan hesitated and asked.

Ke Yan was stunned, then waved his hand and denied, "No! How can I have so much money?"

After a pause, he continued, "I guess it will take another four or five years~"

Wang Lifan wrinkled his nose with a strange expression: "Then I will definitely marry the chicken and follow the chicken! But why are you anxious?"

"There's no rush, I just want to know your thoughts in advance."

After the transfer in Auckland, Ke Yan and Wang Lifan arrived in Rutorua. As soon as they stepped out of the airport, the dazzling sunshine blinded people and made them unable to open their eyes. The entire sky seemed to be washed with blue clarity.

After taking off the heavy winter coat and putting on light summer shorts, I feel a lot lighter. The bright sunshine in the southern hemisphere is indeed more joyful than the cold winter in the United States.

"Ah, the sky in the southern hemisphere." Ke Yan waved his arms and shouted, taking out his Polaroid and taking photos of Wang Lifan with great interest.

Ke Yan’s self-portrait skills are average, but his ability to take photos of his girlfriend is not bad. It’s worth saving the negatives in the album.

After taking a few photos, Ke Yan and Wang Lifan waited in the car and headed to the hotel they had booked - the Millennium International Hotel located in the heart of Rutorua.

Rutorua is a gathering place for crowds in New Zealand, but there are actually not many people there, and it is completely incomparable with the flower garden attractions.

There are a lot of seabirds on the lakeside. From time to time, seabirds fly by, creating a leisurely scene.

When they were tired from walking, Ke Yan and Wang Lifan found a fish&chips restaurant by the lake for dinner. They tasted delicious food in the warm sunshine and enjoyed the breeze, enjoying the unique scenery of New Zealand and discussing travel activities.

The most famous place here is not only the amazing natural scenery, but also several extreme sports, such as skydiving, scuba diving and cliff bungee jumping, which are exciting just to hear them.

"Uh, I can't bungee jump!" Wang Lifan immediately gave up.

The safety factor of these extreme sports operations is relatively high. But there are always people who are timid and dare not try it.

"Come here, let's choose one of the three. Let's try one?" Ke Yan suggested.

Bungee jumping is indeed the scariest, there are only two left.

Wang Lifan has always maintained a reverence for the sea.

"Then let's go skydiving~" Ke Yan absolutely respects Wang Lifan's opinion.

After making the travel plans, it was time to eat in a blink of an eye.

When you come to Rutorua, of course you have to try the most unique local thing, the Maori "hangi" meal, which is cooked with volcanic stones.

The Maori people took advantage of the geothermal properties of Rutorua and placed a thin layer of stone or iron plates on the geothermal vents to form a natural and excellent stove with a unique flavor.

Keyan specially chose a restaurant with a good reputation and recommended it to taste an authentic "hangi" meal.

The generous pieces of raw beef are placed on the thumb-thick textured stone slab, and the smell of barbecue is revealed, which makes people's index fingers twitch when they look at it.

The portion of beef is quite generous, but if I have to say the taste, it's actually just average.

What you eat is an environment and atmosphere!

"If you want to eat real food, you still have to go to big cities." Wang Lifan said.

On this point, Ke Yan and Wang Lifan hold the same opinion.

While Ke Yan and Wang Lifan were enjoying their honeymoon trip in the United States, the Celtics took the lead in starting operations during the All-Star period. The Celtics management did not know what magic they cast to allow the Clippers to buy out Cassell.

He immediately reached a franchise agreement with the Celtics.

Compared with Tyronn Lue, Cassel's immediate combat ability is more than one level better. This time, the Celtics have made a lot of money!
