After hanging up the phone, Ke Yan was also deducing what might happen after the transaction.

Don't look at him clamoring for Harden or Yin Baka on the phone. In fact, it is almost impossible. For most teams in the league, Jeff Green is a more valuable player than Mac Miller;

In terms of immediate combat ability, development potential, and transaction value, Jeff Green is higher.

Ke Yan's asking for such a sky-high price is, on the one hand, just a show of posturing. Jeff Green can only be exchanged for Mike Miller, and there is no need to ask for any compensation. Secondly, if the scale of the transaction is really to be expanded, more resources must be obtained, similar to the draft.

Rights or something, even a second-round pick?

Just comparing Mac Miller and Jeff Green, the latter has a better and even "larger" body shape for the same position. With a height of 206 and a weight of 100 kilograms, he is enough to cope with most small forwards in confrontation; he can also serve as the third number.

At the position and 4, his athletic ability is excellent for a player of this size. He is taller than the 3 and faster than the 4;

Jeff Green's skills are also relatively comprehensive. He can shoot from the outside, and he can also attack down the pick-and-roll. When he is out of position and hits a small player, he can also hit hard with the ball in hand;

His shortcoming is that he is "comprehensive but not omnipotent". He has range but is not stable enough, and he can attack the frame but becomes inefficient when faced with tough defense; these are all manifestations of immature technology.

On the defensive end, Jeff Green plays the small forward position and is effective in defending the ball carrier alone, but his ability to defend the pick-and-roll is relatively poor. He is okay as a power forward in defense, but his rebounding ability is not up to standard...

Considering the heart problem that has not yet been exposed, it is not so much a piece of jade, but rather...a bit "tasteless".

For the Knicks, the significance of Jeff Green lies in two points. First, his running and jumping talent may help the team speed up a little; second, he can appropriately rotate inside to help defend; but compared to Miller, he is slightly

Dragging space, whether it is outside players' ball-handling offense or O'Neal's singles inside, will be affected to a certain extent. The specific details will depend on whether Ke Yan can make tactical adjustments and the running-in between players.

Now that the mutual testing has begun, the next step is the process of psychological games. Ke Yan has a longer-term vision and is not eager to change anything; while the Thunder will also depend on the development of the team.

In the last game of the Western Conference's three-game road trip, the Knicks visited the Rose Garden Arena, and once again the winner was decided in the last minute. The difference was that the winner of this game was the Portland Trail Blazers.

Aldridge hit a long two-pointer with 19 seconds left in the game, helping the team defeat the Knicks 114:109. (5-3)

There have been 8 games in the season, and the Knicks have reached the decisive moment with their opponents 4 times, with half of them narrow wins and narrow defeats. They are also called "50-50" by fans. Not to mention the record, the games are real.

Stimulate.

Some fans also said that Ke Yan's tactics in the Knicks were "mutual stabbing", which basically means getting into a stance and I stab you three times, you stab me three times, and see who falls first.

It may be the last game of three consecutive games in the Western Conference, and he was a little exhausted. Curry played the most crotch-breaking game so far. Facing Blake, whose defensive ability was quite mediocre, he shot 1 of 7 from the outside.

The performance of 14 points and 7 assists per game seemed to be a passable performance, but it was accompanied by 4 turnovers, which was really disappointing.

After the game, Yang Yi also raised doubts about Curry in the commentary box: "It is undeniable that Curry has excellent shooting talent. In the future, he may beat legendary players such as Ray Allen and Miller.

level. But the Knicks spent such a large sum of money to invite Ke Yan. In addition to targeting the 10-year free agent market, they also hope that the team can achieve some results at least this season. But if Curry is thrown away like this,

It's hard to say. Maybe Curry can be trained like Durant; but it's also possible that Curry is just like Kevin Martin, who can score but has no ability to lead a team."

In other words, Yang Yi's words could not reach Key Yan's ears, otherwise Key Yan's "preference" for Curry would most likely make him angry again.

After three consecutive trips, the Knicks returned to New York. Ke Yan directly announced the arrangements for a day off in several games, and was immediately cheered by the players.

From the perspective of fans, it is not easy to understand the difference between home and away games; it is actually difficult to understand the pressure and burden caused by consecutive away games on the team. But the reality is that the Spurs, who are as strong as they were at their peak, have become accustomed to it.

If you have seven or eight consecutive customers at the beginning of each year, you will also have a huge headache, and you will often be unable to adjust your status.

Defeating the Grizzlies and losing to the Trail Blazers and Thunder in three consecutive away games is in line with Ke Yan's expectations for the strength of the Knicks. The current Knicks are a team on the fringe of the playoffs in the Western Conference.

In the east.

.Take a good look at yourself, sit down and compete with others and look at others.

That is, on the day of the holiday, Ke Yan did not go to the training center as usual, but took Wang Lifan to the airport to pick him up. After Ke Guowei and Yuan Yue completed the procedures for going abroad, they happened to arrive in New York on this day.

However, what surprised Ke Yan was that two strangers came with Ke Guowei and Yuan Yue. After Ke Guowei introduced him, he found out that they were the management of the Jiangsu Southeast Steel Team.

There was a lot of news about Yao Ming's acquisition of the Magic Sharks. Deng Huade was hired as the head coach. The foreign players such as Lucas Jr. and Abbas were all excellent. Not only did the Sharks' performance improve steadily, but the market also improved.

It's quite different. Seeing that the Magic City next door was prospering under the leadership of professionals, the Sudong Provincial Sports Bureau also thought that we also have Ke Yan and wanted to hire Ke Yan as the team's management.

, bring more professional opinions to the team, and it would be even better if you can help introduce some good foreign players.

When I caught up with Ke Guowei's application to visit his daughter-in-law in the United States, I simply asked him to make the connection. Once this was done, the couple would go through the green channel to go to the United States in the future!

"Dad, you are a department-level cadre of a prefecture-level city, and you can be morally abducted by the province. How respectable are you?" Ke Yan excused himself to think about it, dismissed the two managers, and drove to the apartment.

On the way, he joked about Ke Guowei.

"I mainly see that Yao Ming is doing really well in the Magic City, and I want to see if you have any ideas in this regard." Ke Guowei explained.

"Yao Ming is basically retired and is planning domestic industries in advance." Ke Yan said, "My thoughts are all on the United States, and the help I can provide is too limited."

"Then help you refuse?"

"You can't settle this matter with me. I'm afraid you won't be able to escape if you come to your door." Ke Yan shook his head and added, "It doesn't hurt. At most, you can just ask me to be a consultant. As long as you don't let me pay for it.

If you have a team, you can be a consultant for them for free.”

After sending Ke Guowei and Yuan Yue to the apartment, the "little wife" had been waiting in the apartment for a long time.

"Dad, Mom, this is Qingshu, Xinglang's special correspondent, and the translator I found for you two elders. If you want to go out while I'm away, you can use her." Ke Yan introduced Huo Qingshu to Huo Qingshu as a joke.

Ke Guowei and Yuan Yue.

Last time, Ke Yan mentioned to Huo Qingshu that he invited her to live in his apartment, but Huo Qingshu sternly refused. But within a few days, the "little wife" became really popular.

In Atlanta, in addition to his part-time job, Huo Qingshu has his own studies, his own social circle, and a colorful life. The further away from Ke Yan, the farther away he is; but in New York, where interpersonal relationships are thin, apart from work, he really has

There is no life! Huo Qingshu thought twice and moved here honestly. It is much more convenient to check in at the nearby filming location of "Gossip Girl"!

"Hello, uncle and aunt." Huo Qingshu greeted the two elders politely, then raised his chin and made a fist gesture towards Ke Yan.

】

"Hello~" Ke Guowei's expression changed slightly. In addition to official news, he would occasionally search for Ke Yan and see some strange posts. He also saw articles about the relationship between Ke Yan and Huo Qingshu.

.

Although I know it is pure nonsense, I still have some "suspiciousness" when I see Huo Qingshu in Ke Yan's life circle.

Fortunately, Wang Lifan's next actions vindicated the relationship between Ke Yan and Huo Qingshu. She had a very happy chat with Huo Qingshu and soon brought Yuan Yue into the relationship.

On November 17, the Knicks, after three days of rest, faced the challenge of the Cavaliers, the top team in the Eastern Conference, at home. Team owner Dolan brought his female companion to watch the game, and the home fans even shouted "We

"Need LeBron" slogan to "flatter" James.

This scene appeared in front of Ke Yan, which really made him a little uncomfortable. So much so that when James took the initiative to hug and greet him before the game, Ke Yan just held James' hand and patted him before turning around and leaving without any unnecessary communication.

.

Last season, after the Hawks were eliminated early due to injuries, James and his Cavaliers had the best chance to enter the Finals. However, in the Eastern Conference Finals, James still hit the ball when the referee was wearing a Cavaliers jersey.

Despite winning the game, the Cavaliers were eliminated by the Magic with a score of 2:4 and missed the finals.

Failure to seize the best opportunity also made James completely disappointed with the Cavaliers. James, who has been very active in every offseason in the past, has been "low-key" a bit this past summer. In addition to participating in some business activities, other activities

He spent most of his time in the training hall practicing, which allowed him to be in excellent competitive form at the beginning of the season and firmly occupy the first place in the mvp list;

But at the same time, perhaps the topic of 23vs24 was too hot last season, and it turned out to be overwhelming. This season, neither James nor the Cavaliers talked about the "championship" anymore, and there were even questions about James's future.

, has now become a "taboo".

Back to the game itself, the Cavaliers were the runner-up team in the Eastern Conference last season, and they also have James, the league's first regular season player, and their strength is far superior to the Knicks!

More importantly, Mike Brown looked down and launched a crazy pincer attack on Curry after the game started! This caught Ke Yan and Curry by surprise.

Curry is not Kobe, he is just a rookie with excellent shooting touch but extreme shooting tendencies! But James just keeps pulling out, and in cooperation, everyone will send a double attack against Curry!

The Cavaliers dared to attack so unscrupulously, firstly because the Cavaliers' excellent switching defense system and James' bt-like personal ability can block the space created by Curry's ball; secondly, because of the Knicks' Hughes at the second position.

Neither Holiday nor Holiday have stable shooting ability. Even if the Cavaliers' help defense is unable to cope with the situation, they can still leave one person appropriately; thirdly, because the inside combination of Big Z and O'Neal is not afraid of O'Neal and Love.

of singles.

Conversely, on the defensive end, the Knicks' poor interior defense is useless against breakthrough players of the level of James, Wade, and Rose!

At halftime, the Cavaliers easily established a 16-point lead.

Three consecutive defeats are just around the corner, but they still lost to the Cavaliers! This also made Ke Yan very unhappy! During the halftime break, Ke Yan made adjustments to the team's lineup. Matthews, who has excellent shooting ability, replaced Larry Hughes.

Started in the second half of the game.

At the same time, Ke Yan also made detailed adjustments to the area where Curry initiated the pick-and-roll on the offensive end, as well as the positions of others and the next move after receiving Curry's pass, to target the Cavaliers' flanking attack.

Ke Yan's adjustment was very timely. As soon as he came on the stage, Matthews, who was entrusted with the important task, opened Anthony Parker's defense after receiving the ball from Curry, and hit two points with his hand; then he seized the opportunity,

Hitting an open three-pointer dealt a huge blow to the Cavaliers' defensive strategy!

The changes brought about by Matthews are not only on the offensive end, but also on the defensive end. He can also rely on his strong body to resist James when defending in a misplaced position. To put it bluntly, his foul force is heavier than Larry Hughes!

The Knicks' offensive space on the court is wider, which also allows the Cavaliers to reduce the intensity of double-teaming on Curry. Mo Buchu adopts the method of "preventing shots but not sudden breakthroughs" to choke Curry's three-pointers and let Curry go.

Make a mid-range shot or go to the basket to complete the offense.

This defensive strategy is a bit risky, but it is the right idea when the team has a double-digit lead and the team's offensive end is quite sure that it can come back. The Knicks' offense is slowly improving.

Things are getting better, but their defense is full of flaws when facing James.

The final score was fixed at 103:114. The Knicks lost at home and suffered a three-game losing streak (5-4).

For the fans, the loss in this game was a bit disappointing, but it was also expected. After all, the Cavaliers are the number one team in the Eastern Conference.

After this game, Ke Yan had plans to adjust the starting lineup.

Ever since he decided to come to coach the Knicks, Ke Yan's plan when it comes to selecting the second position is to use Larry Hughes for a while, and then slowly transition to Holiday after Holiday adapts.

The styles of the two people are somewhat similar. They both have good breakthrough ability, first-class defensive ability, weak mid-range shooting, and poor organizational skills. Their attributes are quite matched with Curry, who is super shooting and can play without the ball!

In Ke Yan's position, Matthews is closer to a substitute player at the second and third positions.

Maybe it's because of Matthews' "undrafted" status? Even Ke Yan, who has a God's perspective and knows the opponent's ability, is still doubtful?

Maybe a little bit. But in this game against the Cavaliers, Matthews made 3 of 6 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, scored 8 points and 3 rebounds, and provided pretty good defense, which made

Ke Yan began to pay attention to his immediate ability and was also considering directly adjusting him to the starting lineup.

As for Holiday, he still plays the role of the sixth man for the time being; and Larry Hughes, who has actually performed quite well since the start of the game, may become a victim of the team's development.

After a day off, the Knicks, who had suffered three consecutive losses, finally faced a "soft persimmon". Yao Ming was reimbursed for the season, Tracy McGrady was under a "7-minute restraining order", and the Houston Rockets were called "the worst in the NBA this season" by Barkley.

"Bad team", the core of their team building is Ariza, who was hired from the Lakers. For him, the Rockets specially took off the "No. 1 jersey" from Tracy McGrady.

His body is close to McGrady, and his jumping is also close. Maybe he can compete defensively? But in terms of other abilities, Ariza is completely incomparable to McGrady at his peak. After the start of the season, he played a few games with Brooks and Scola.

The ball was good on the field, and then it began to "turn into slag", and the iron was constantly being struck on the field.

Brooks can score high points with his "flexibility" and unexpected shots. Scola is quite good at mid-range shots from the free throw line and "spinning tops" after falling into the low post. The Rockets' group of "shrimps and crab generals"

I tried very hard to slap Barkley's evaluation of "the worst team in the NBA" in the face, but I have to say that this team is too lacking in talent, and apart from Hayes, there is no defense at all.

The two sides fought against each other, and the Knicks' firepower was obviously superior, easily winning 116:97, ending their losing streak (6-4).

Curry continues to score high scores. Although his position has been elevated because of the title of "Messi", and there are some poor performances in some games, Curry's average of 21 points and 7 assists in the first ten games of his rookie season is definitely worthy of any ranking.

Praise! In Madison Square Garden, more and more young fans are buying Curry’s jerseys as they get older!

Matthews is also a rookie and made great achievements against the Cavaliers. Although he did not directly start the game, he also got 23 minutes of playing time in this game and once again contributed 7 points and 4 rebounds.

No stage fright.

After the game, Ke Yan's family and Huo Qingshu hosted a banquet for Yao Ming, who came to New York with the team, and also talked about his own shares in the Nangang team and serving as a consultant.

"I told you earlier, I told you you wanted shares, and I gave you the shares." Yao Ming's words were half true and half false. He really wanted to do business with Ke Yan. After all, this guy has a really "good" investment vision.

"It is said that he is a consultant, but in fact it is just a name and a gimmick. At most, he can help introduce a few foreign players back." Ke Yan said, "The CBA club is still owned by a state-owned enterprise, and there are many twists and turns in it. Needless to say.

?It’s my turn to speak!”

"If the CBA does not reform and all teams continue to lose money, there is really no hope." Yao Ming said regretfully.

Even though he didn't spend any money to buy the Sharks and arranged for Yao's team to carry out various reforms within the team, the actual current operation of the team is definitely losing money.

Unless it is a state-owned enterprise or a local enterprise that obtains policies and land from relevant departments, who can continue?
