The season has entered the final 11 games of the sprint, and the teams on the edge of the playoffs are the most desperate. In the NBA ecology, there is no shame in being at the bottom, which means that the team can obtain the highest draft pick next season.

, the quickest way to start the road to reconstruction; the worst team is the lottery champion. They can choose a shooting guard with the 13th pick and take a gamble. With the 14th pick, it is difficult to obtain a strong immediate player.

At this time, the aloof Eagles can sometimes decide the fate of the teams below with an inadvertent decision. Last season, the Eagles' "inadvertent" operations determined the Nets' "escapade" and the Wizards fell into

hell.

This season, when the Wizards and Nets are also competing for playoff spots, the Hawks have another opportunity to "determine" the fate of the two teams.

Arenas is out for the season, and the Wizards have played more team-oriented and more reasonable basketball. Caron Butler, who has always been "brave and foolhardy", averaged 22.1 points, 7.5 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game this season, clearing his reputation as a "reckless man."

Personality; Jamison's strength is far behind the All-Stars, but when it comes to scoring, Jamison is definitely the league's top scorer; paired with Daniels, Stevens, Haywood and other players who work harder on the defensive end, the Wizards

The team's "combat effectiveness" has not declined significantly.

In this game, the Eagles welcomed Diaw's comeback, and the French magician entered the team's bench to get a feel for the game; the Eagles rested Paul for the first time in this game.

Although a little unhappy, Ke Yan's prestige in the locker room is still strong, and Paul will not go against him; moreover, the Big Three and even Battier take turns every day, and everyone sacrifices their personal performance in the regular season to ensure that

To compete for the championship in better condition, Paul can't do anything special.

The Hawks hid Paul, the Wizards saw a chance to win, and the players' fighting spirit became even stronger!

However, the key to the Hawks' victory over the Wizards is not Paul, but Garnett's strong suppression of Jamison. This game once again confirmed Garnett's "blood suppression" of this type of power forward.

Against Garnett's defense, Jamison made 2 of 12 shots and 5 of 15 shots in the game, scoring only 13 points.

With Arenas reimbursed for the season, the Wizards need Butler and Jamison to digest more ball rights and bring more output; Jamison has been suppressed, and Butler is naturally unable to stand alone, and his performance has improved.

, but after all, it is not James, who does not have the ability to kill seven in and seven out in the Eagles' defense.

For the Eagles, Barea's performance as a starter was also poor, and his handling of the ball on the offensive end was very unreasonable. But fortunately, with Joe Johnson and Garnett helping to support the bottom line, and the team's defense is rock solid, what is the end result?

The Wizards were not allowed to get closer to the score.

In the end, the Hawks defeated the Wizards 102:89 away from home (57-15).

On March 24, the Eagles returned home to welcome the civilian team Philadelphia 76ers at home.

After trading away Iverson, the 76ers quickly promoted the team's reconstruction. The team obtained two potential rookies in the Iverson trade, and added Braden through the operation of the 2007 draft.

With two high-potential newcomers, Te and Thaddeus Young, paired with Yingodala, the team can be considered a "high-level rebuild."

In view of the fact that the newcomers in the team lack absolute single points, and most of them are swingmen with outstanding athletic ability, Cheeks formulated a "defensive counterattack" tactical idea. The team presses hard on the defensive end, rotates high, and actively creates mistakes for the opponent.

, push fast break counterattacks whenever there is an opportunity; and in the positional battle offense, they are also slowly honing the ball-holding offensive abilities of Ying Guodala and Gerald Wallace. With the progress of the team's young people, the 76ers'

The record has gradually climbed to sixth in the Eastern Conference.

From some angles, this team has some shadows of the later "Denver Athletics", except that the "athletics attributes" of that Nuggets team were more focused on the offensive end, and the lineup was more substantial; and this one

The 76ers are too immature and lack a player like Gallinari who can more or less score by force.

The 76ers are currently ranked sixth in the Eastern Conference, but are only two games ahead of the Nets, who are ninth in the Eastern Conference. Their playoff spot is not stable. For a playoff spot, Ying Guodala, Gerald Wallace and others are here.

In one game, he showed a life-threatening fighting spirit, not afraid of being beaten, and resolutely attacking the frame. On the defensive end, he played the highest level of defensive pressure, putting huge pressure on the Eagles.

As the playoffs approach, the far-leading Hawks cannot afford to go head-to-head with the 76ers; even in the playoffs, Ke Yan does not want to touch a stupid team like the 76ers to prevent any personnel losses. Let the 76ers

It is also in the interest of the Eagles to have the team ranked higher and cause trouble for other teams.

The final score was fixed at 93:100, and the Eagles lost at home (57-16).

After winning this unexpected victory, the 76ers' hopes of advancing to the playoffs have greatly increased, and they can look forward to more in the future!

On March 25, the Eagles faced the Bobcats back-to-back. In itself, if Snyder continues to coach and the Bobcats have the hope of advancing to the playoffs, Ke Yan will rotate in this game to give his old friend a face; but

Now that Leader Qiao fired Snyder, Ke Yan has to see how weak the team under Leader Qiao is.

Paul, Joe Johnson and others vented all the frustration of losing the last game on the Bobcats. They spared no effort and beat the Bobcats into a sick cat!

Coming to the Bobcats from the 76ers, Iverson is still the most motivated player on the team. This season, he averaged 26.9 points per game. There is no doubt about his strong scoring ability, but his decline has caused his playing style to hurt the team.

The rhetoric has never stopped.

With Snyder leaving the team, Iverson may continue to be put on the shelf for sale this summer. For this former superstar, the end of his career is indeed a mess.

It was rare that Ke Yan did not arrange for the main players to check in for three quarters when the victory was locked. The people on the court more or less guessed that Ke Yan wanted to vent his anger on Snyder, so he played even harder. The point difference once reached 45 points.

Even if the referee didn't pull the ball a little, the score difference might have increased to 50 points.

Fortunately, at the end of the fourth quarter, Matt Carroll "stepped up" and hit three consecutive three-pointers, bringing the point difference back to 30, avoiding a huge loss that would set a record in team history.

135:97, the Eagles defeated the Bobcats by 38 points at home (58-16).

The regular season is coming to an end, and predictions about various personal honors in the regular season are also flooding the pages of major media.

Of course, the one who gets the most attention is the mvp. Since the Cavaliers' record is far behind that of the Hawks and Lakers, James, who has the most incredible personal data, has gradually withdrawn from the competition for mvp, and has basically become a one-on-one contest between Kobe and Paul.

fight.

The statistics of both players are equally outstanding. Kobe's advantage is his absolute leadership position in the Lakers, the impression bonus brought by unsolvable singles, and the advantage of having accumulated 9 more years of experience than Paul; Paul is more in line with the original "mvp"

Annotation, namely "most valuable player", "the best player on the best team".

However, the NBA does not award MVP awards directly to the best player of the regular season championship team very often. Therefore, it is really difficult to define how big the advantage of Paul's record is. The media even made a disgusting statement.

, "Paul is still young and still has opportunities in the future; Kobe needs this honor to be affirmed even more."

Ha tui~!

The most popular player for dpoy, the best defensive player, is still Camby of the Nuggets. There is nothing to say about this. Since Camby has won dpoy again and again, this award has almost become a parallel honor!

Howard and Garnett are more intimidating on the defensive end, but Howard's awareness of defensive statistics is not as good as Camby's. Garnett's playing time is too short, which affects the accumulation of data. This honor will most likely be won by Camby.

The honor of Best Sixth Man is basically tailor-made for Ginobili. Terry of the Mavericks switched to the sixth man role in the second half of the season. His scoring ability may be able to match Ginobili's, but

In other aspects, the difference is far behind. From Keyan's perspective, "The best sixth man = Ginobili".

There is no problem for Turkoglu to win the Most Improved Player. The Turk is the offensive commander of the Magic. He has excellent shooting and organization and a big heart. He has completed four kills this season and is a "wonderful player" in the regular season this season.

Kill the King".

As for the best rookie, there is no suspense. Putting aside Oden who has been out for a year, Durant is the leader of this year's rookies in terms of immediate combat ability and upper limit. As for Yi Jianlian, his basic data is quite acceptable.

, but the attendance rate, efficiency, and performance on the field are not very good, and they are not considered at all.

Although Paul's odds of winning were not high, Ke Yan still spoke for Paul after the Hawks beat the Heat 107:86 (59-16).

"In my opinion, mvp is used to praise the player who performed best in the season and contributed the most to the team's victory, rather than simply the strongest player. If the definition of mvp is the latter, it can be used in the next few seasons.

Award it directly to Kobe, or even give it to him in the past few seasons; but if performance is more of a consideration, I will vote for Paul."

While openly supporting Paul, Ke Yan also secretly praised Kobe and admitted that Kobe was the best in the league. Hearing this, Kobe could understand Ke Yan's position. After all, he had to support his own players!

In the last game in March, the Hawks visited Staples to challenge another Los Angeles team, the Los Angeles Clippers.

As Livingston, Brand and Kaman suffered serious injuries in the middle of the season, the Clippers gave up on the season early and even bought out Cassel's contract to save money. Facing the Impact 60

Although the Hawks won, the Clippers' resistance only lasted for one quarter of the game, and the remaining three quarters were basically even.

.

.

Throughout the second half of the game, Ke Yan didn't even call a timeout. As the head coach, he took the lead and steadily won the game. (60-16)

On April 2, the Hawks returned home to face the Cleveland Cavaliers from afar.

Right now, the Hawks are five games ahead of the Lakers and have basically locked in the first place in the league. The Cavaliers' current situation is not so good. The team is currently ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference, two games behind the Magic, which is fourth in the Eastern Conference.

A win, considering the high probability that the two teams will meet in the first round of the Eastern Conference, it means that the Cavaliers have no home court advantage.

Everyone knows how important home court advantage is to the Cavaliers!

From the perspective of the Hawks, neither the Magic nor the Cavaliers are ideal second-round opponents. The Magic's superior offensive rebounding ability, James's strong breakthrough ability and incredible physical fitness can beat the Hawks' seven-game opponent.

On the inch!

If he is destined to choose one of these two opponents, Ke Yan feels that "the threat of the Cavaliers < the threat of the Magic < the threat of the Cavaliers referees". The Magic's deterrence is within the predictable range, so it's the latter.

.

.

Don't challenge your character.

So Ke Yan would rather the Magic just beat the Cavaliers to death!

In this game, the two sides started a hand-to-hand battle. Battier, Tucker, and Joe Johnson took turns to attack James. The three of them jointly committed 12 fouls on James!

Including Garnett and Anderson, they were not polite when dealing with James. The Birdman even directly overturned James during a defensive process. He was whistled for a second-level flagrant foul and was ejected directly from the court!

The Hawks, who had no chance of winning or losing, were so desperate against James, which really surprised Mike Brown!

Unlike other teams on the fringe of the playoffs that risk their lives to get into the playoffs, the Cavaliers don't dare to fight against the Hawks. If James really breaks down, the team's season will really end early!

The Cavaliers were abruptly "intimidated" by the Hawks. Mike Brown chose to let this game go, preferring to sacrifice the home court advantage in the playoffs to ensure that James can play in the playoffs healthy.

In the end, the Eagles won this hand-to-hand battle! (61-16)

After winning this game, the Hawks are still five games ahead of the second-place Lakers in the league. Considering that the Hawks double-killed the Lakers during the season, they have secured the league's first place in advance. Therefore, after this game,

, Ke Yan entered the playoff "preparation" stage in advance and handed over the command of the next five games to Hornacek.

It doesn’t matter if the players rest in rotation, even the coach who rides the horse also rests! Fans think Ke Yan is a bit "shameless".

But who makes the Eagles have an excellent record? As long as the team can win, the team will support whatever Ke Yan does.

Moreover, Ke Yan's so-called "rest" was not a day off for himself. He trained him to follow the rules and appeared on the sidelines as usual. He just wore casual clothes and took notes on the sidelines and did not interfere with any of Hornacek's decisions at all.

During home games, Ke Yan will also interact more frequently with Huo Qingshu, explaining to her what he sees from the perspective of the audience, which can also improve Huo Qingshu's "professional level" to a certain extent.

4 wins and 1 loss, this is Hornacek's answer in the last five games. It is considered "good or not bad", but no one cares. With Ke Yan here, the fans don't think Hornacek's teaching is good.

He can counterattack Ke Yan's position; and Hornacek, as an assistant coach next to Ke Yan, has rejected coaching invitations from other teams several times. Unless the Jazz asks him to be the coach, he does not want to leave Atlanta.

The Eagles' 2008 regular season record was finally set at 65 wins and 17 losses, three games less than last season. Considering the team's extensive replacement of the bench this season and Ke Yan's frequent rotation of core players, this record should be very good.

Excellent. The number of wins can reach 65 for two consecutive seasons. Only a few teams in the league can achieve this. The fans should not have any regrets.

The Celtics ranked second in the Eastern Conference with 57 wins and 25 losses. Although O'Neal's form has plummeted this season, the Celtics' Big Three have little hope of winning the championship. However, from 17 wins and 65 losses last season to this year's

The Celtics are second in the Eastern Conference and have won 40 more games. It cannot be said that Ainge's gamble has failed!

The Pistons scored 53 wins and 29 losses, ranking third in the Eastern Conference. They lost one Ben Wallace, but the high tacit understanding of the remaining four tigers ensured that the team's minimum limit was not low, and McDyess was also considered a qualified starting inside man.

The Pistons' current dilemma is that they are more than stable but lack impact!

Compared to facing the Celtics or Pistons in the Eastern Conference finals, Ke Yan feels that the opponent Cavaliers or Magic in the Eastern Conference semifinals pose a greater threat.

Ranked 6 to 8 in the Eastern Conference are the 76ers, Rams and Wizards respectively. Basically, it is difficult for them to pose much of a threat to the top three teams in the Eastern Conference. Avoiding a "gentleman sweep" is the most practical goal.

In the Western Conference, the Lakers came from behind and won the first place in the Western Conference with 59 wins and 23 losses.

Lakers fans once clamored that if Gasol had joined earlier, the Hawks might not be able to secure their first place in the league; however, the team's double defeat by the Hawks in the regular season was a flaw, and the Hawks fans' response was justified!

The Spurs were weak in the late period and only won 56 games, ranking second in the Western Conference; the Suns still won 55 games and ranked third in the Western Conference relying on msn.

The Jazz's record is not as good as that of the Rockets, but they are ranked fourth by virtue of being the Northwest Division champion; the Rockets are ranked fifth with 55 wins, but without Yao Ming in the paint, it will be difficult to fight against the Jazz.

The Mavericks are ranked sixth with 51 wins and will face the Suns in the first round; the Nuggets and Warriors are ranked seventh and eighth respectively, with both teams' records remaining at 50 wins.

Compared with the Eastern Conference, where there may only be one set of matchups that are suspenseful, the Western Conference's strength distribution should be more balanced! Even if it's the Lakers versus the Warriors, I can't say that it's a sure win!

The personal statistics king of the regular season was announced. James averaged 30.0 points per game and won the scoring title. This is the first scoring title in his career;

Paul won the assists title with an average of 12.1 assists per game, ending Nash's four consecutive championships. At the same time, Paul also won the steals title, averaging 2.7 steals per game.

Howard won the rebounding title with an average of 14.2 rebounds per game. He is indeed a monster whose rebounding ability makes even Ke Yan a little taboo! Camby won the block title with an average of 3.6 blocks per game.

At the end of the regular season, each team also got a rest period ranging from 4 to 6 days. Ke Yan gave the team two days off as usual, and the third day was mainly recovery training. Anyway, the first round is not difficult, and slowly

Use competition as a substitute for training!
