The official timeout returned, the Eagles put on a substitute lineup, and the Wizards left Daniels on the court with a substitute.

Daniels was the No. 11.2 "archer" in the Supersonic "Warrior Arrows" last season. He averaged 4 points per game. Relying on his outstanding performance this year, he got a 2400-year [-] million contract from the Wizards. contract.

Although Daniels was promoted to the starting lineup in the Wizards, he still played as a sixth man. He played the role of a fixed-point shooter with the main players and waited for the main players to rest before taking over the ball.

His strength is not bad, and with a floor-flowing point guard like Blake, the team's offense is impressive.

Relatively speaking, the offense of the Hawks' substitute players seemed to be quiet for a while. Except for David Lee who barely had the ability to attack independently, others such as House, Mason, Barnes, and Micky Moore all had certain shooting abilities. , but more of them are digesting the opportunities created by their teammates, and they do not have the ability to attack independently.

Even if the players perform fairly well on the defensive end, the lack of output on the offensive end makes it inevitable that the lead will be slowly eroded by the Wizards.This also exposed the lack of a ball-handler in the Hawks' bench.

Maybe this is indeed a small problem, but Ke Yan really doesn't think it is a trouble that affects the team's goal for this season.

The Hawks have three ball handlers. When it comes to the regular season, both Paul and Joe Johnson can bring substitutes for certain periods of the game. As long as someone creates space, House and David Lee are very good supporters. .

The Eagles also have Kittles, a mosquito shooter, and his ability to handle the ball is much better than Roger Mason. It was only because of the preseason that Ke Yan felt that this slightly glassy veteran needed to be sparing. He plays.

Some people may feel sorry for missing Monta Ellis and Louis Williams in the draft.But if the Eagles still have a second-round pick, Ke Yan will choose Blatche or Gortat to solve the team's internal problems instead of giving the two stunned youths a level-up.

The Eagles' foundation is too weak, and there are many problems that need to be solved, so there must be a priority.At the same time, it is not good to have too many rookies in the team, and there is not such a high fault tolerance rate.

In the first quarter, the Eagles ended with a 29-point lead at 28:2.

When the game came to the second quarter, Ke Yan began to match the lineup. Paul, Mason, Barnes, Josh Smith, and Mickey Moore played together, focusing on "D'Antoni-style" running and bombing. The defense of this lineup of the Eagles pays attention to a quick double-team rotation, and occasionally defends the zone defense to protect the inside line. These two tactics are easy to lose three-pointers, so the defense of three-pointers is not good.

But once the Wizards missed a three-pointer, the rebound bounced far, and the Eagles grabbed the rebound, the threat of a counterattack would be great.

Paul pushed to counterattack, Mason and Barnes quickly went down along the two sidelines, Smith and Mickey Moore went straight in the middle.If he does not guard the bottom line of the two shooters, Paul can pass directly to the two bottom corners and find an opportunity to make an easy shot. If he pulls a three-pointer from the side, Smith and Mickey Moore’s follow-up in the middle is more lethal, and Paul’s ability to directly attack the frame is also great. Very strong!

Even if you prevent the Eagles from achieving a fast break by limiting Paul's starting speed, the Eagles can also play a "V-shaped offense" in positional battles. This is what Ke Yan learned from D'Antoni during the Suns.

The two shooters are in the bottom corner, and the two insiders pull to the free throw line at the same time. If the wing players do not come to make up the defense, Paul and Smith can easily free up offensive opportunities with pick-and-rolls;

"How many offensive routines have you mastered!" Snyder looked at Ke Yan, who was sitting next to him, with a look of "mysterious brother".

Before coming to the Eagles, I didn’t admire Ke Yan so much. I always felt that Ke Yan was “excessively famous”. The record of the Lakers last season, although he commanded it well, but their own lineup is not bad, and they reached the Western Conference. , cannot be said to be unbelievable.

But now, following Ke Yan's side, I just realized that it was the Lakers who "restricted" Ke Yan.

If you really give him the right lineup, he can play tactics for you!

Arenas and Jamison teamed up and barely managed it.And in the second half of the second quarter, the Wizards replaced the bench, and against the Eagles' lineup of House + Joe Johnson + Posey + Dior + David Lee, they couldn't beat it at all!

At the end of the half, the Eagles led the Wizards by 65 points 49:16, and the fans' concerns about "the team's bench lineup is weak" were completely dispelled.

Although it was a preseason game, Eddie Jordan felt that he had exerted at least [-]% of his strength, but he was still beaten by the Eagles, and he felt even more guilty about the flying young man opposite him.

The Wizards didn't do their best, but did the Eagles do their best?

During the intermission, in the locker room, Ke Yan affirmed the performance of the whole team: "The Wizards were the top four teams in the Eastern Conference last season. Their offensive firepower is very good, but obviously, it is much worse than ours. Continue this performance , In the new season, we can blow up the entire league!"

While everyone was rejoicing, Ke Yan was not dazzled by the victory, and told Snyder beside him to focus on James Posey in the second half.

In the first half of the game, James Posey made zero three-pointers, and all of them were open three-pointers.Combined with the previous training game, Posey's three-pointer feels very average, which is also worth the attention of the coaching staff.

In the second half of the game, Ke Yan’s scheduling was basically the same as that of the first half. In the third quarter, the main players and the substitutes were clearly separated. .

Eddie Jordan quietly increased the playing time of Arenas and Jamison. The two core players of the Wizards played 27 minutes and 26 minutes respectively. Look better.

The final score was fixed at 117:105. The Eagles defeated the Wizards at home and ushered in a "good start" in the preseason.

Throughout the game, the Eagles' offense was smooth and their cooperation was dazzling. Keyan's drastic transformation of the team has achieved initial results.

Sander, who was watching the game, received a call from his boss Ressler: "Larry, I told you that Kimi is very good, you still don't believe me! We will definitely make it to the playoffs this season."

"Yeah, keep it up, we can make the playoffs."

Sander had doubts about Ke Yan, but he didn't feel that he was slapped in the face if the other party succeeded. As the general manager, he also did a lot of work!

And if Ke Yan really tripled his performance and led the team to the playoffs, there is a high probability that he will be nominated for the "Best Coach" and he will also be nominated for the "Best General Manager". !

The team is running smoothly, and Ke Yan is also very happy. He feels more and more that it is the right decision for him to come to the Eagles, which is much more refreshing than being angry with the Lakers.

Don't look at the two teams, one is the top four team in the Western Conference, has Kobe, the league's No. suits him.

First of all, there is the issue of lineup.Because Ke Yan led the Lakers to advance to the playoffs, the draft pick went down. The team had no way to get Bynum through the draft. Even if he stayed on the team, he would at most get David Lee. It is normal for Anderson to take drugs If it happens, the weakening of the team's internal strength is obvious.If Ke Yan stays with the Lakers, there is a high probability that he will still only have the right to suggest a trade. The most valuable players for the Lakers are Kobe, Odom, and Butler. Kupchak will not let him move Odom. who.

In his hands, the second pick of the Eagles has been transformed into "quasi-all-star level" Paul, the team's vast salary space can bring "quasi-all-star level" Joe Johnson, the original few positive assets Josh Smith, plus Diaw, who only D'Antoni and he can figure out how to use.I don't want to comment on who is stronger or weaker than the Lakers. At least from the perspective of team building, Ke Yan's promotion of the Eagles is a qualitative leap.

The second is the comparison of the external environment. In the West, the Spurs, Mavericks, and Suns are three pillars. The Rockets, which is sitting on the Yao-Mike combination, only need to supplement some useful role players, and their hard power is still considerable.The Nuggets, Grizzlies, and even the Clippers, which have made targeted reinforcements this summer, are not bad. If Ke Yan has no real rights, relying on his own micromanagement, the limit is the second half of the playoffs.

The Eagles are in the relatively weak Eastern Conference. If they win more than half of their teams, they will enter the playoffs. If they win 50 games, they will be able to compete for the ranking in the upper half.It's not that he has no ambitions and likes to abuse food, it's just that a relaxed environment allows him to do more "try".James knows that staying in the East can enjoy a lot of benefits!

In the end, it’s about interpersonal relationships. Ke Yan was in the Lakers, dealing with the management, and between Kobe and Bryant, he was constrained everywhere in his work. Kupchak called Odom to talk when he was suspended; in the Eagles, he has Shang Fang’s sword, so he doesn’t have these troubles. .

Because of the time difference, the games in the Eastern Conference are played early in Huaxia, and he was able to be broadcast on "Sports Express" in time. CCTV gave him a lot of face, broadcasting the game and also showing the highlights of the game.This is very rare on CCTV, only the Rockets have this treatment, usually the highlights of NBA games will be put on the sports news at [-] p.m.

The Eagles' dazzling offense is more enjoyable to watch after being edited by CCTV. It is a novel experience for many fans who only pay attention to Yao Ming.Because this is completely different from Rockets basketball!

However, there are still fans on the forum who are not optimistic about him. Some bricks’ ideas are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. ". . . . . . .

Don't talk nonsense, wait for the Huaxia Derby to see who rules who!

. . . . . .

After a day of rest, the Eagles ushered in the second preseason game of the season, playing against the Charlotte Bobcats at home.

Joe's draft vision has always been criticized by people, but in this year's draft, it was not a big mistake for them to choose Raymond Felton.The team's main point guard Knight is a statist. Don't look at the average of 15+7.5 per game, which is very good. In fact, there is no basket on the outside, no confrontation on the defensive end, and a lot of ball possession. .

therefore.The Bobcats' draft strategy is to choose whoever falls out of the "Three Great Point Guards". In the end, Felton fell out, and they chose Felton.

But compared to the old rival Jazz who packed two first-round picks and traded for the No. [-] pick and intercepted Hu Delong, the Bobcats seemed a little less courageous.

It is also a team dominated by young people, and the Bobcats also played their main players in this game.Felton, Carroll, Gerald Wallace, Okafor, Blazek.Joe's gang leader is full of expectations that the team can live up to expectations, and Felton can prove that he is better than Paul!

Josh Smith beats Blazek with a jump ball, and Joe Johnson catches the ball and dribbles it upfield to pass to Paul before running to the right corner.

Paul and Diaw pick and roll in the middle, break through with the ball, change direction and jump to get rid of Okafor from the right, Wallace makes up the defense, Paul jumps up and passes the ball to the bottom corner with a false shot.

Joe Johnson made an easy shot unattended and made a steady three-pointer, 3-0.

The Bobcats attack, and Felton passes the ball to Okafor to single out Diaw.

Okafor received the ball from a low position on the right, turned to the baseline and was blocked by Diao, then turned to the middle and was followed, and was double-teamed by Josh Smith.

It's not that Dior's defense is so strong, it's really that the Bobcats' "poor offense" is a bit serious. As an insider, Okafor is a typical "defense strong and attack weak". . . . . . .

Paul speeded through halftime and gave it to Joe Johnson who followed up.

Joe Johnson dribbled the ball and pulled it up, and Carroll easily went to the basketball to score, 5-0.

Matt Carroll, a white shooter, is about the same size as a point guard and has good shooting skills, but nothing else.

The Bobcats attack, Gerald Wallace catches the ball and singles out Posey, fails to pass Posey by skill, forcibly goes to the basket for a layup, misses under the interference, the rebound is caught by Posey who returned to defense, the Eagles The team's fast break failed to play out.

Paul dribbled the ball for halftime, and Diola went to the corner to catch the ball. The Bobcats defended the pass and did not defend the shot, giving Dior a step away. Dior easily shot a jumper and made it, 7:0.

Not to mention that Dior itself is a skilled player, but last season he played small forward, he was at the top of his game, and given such a large space, it is a bit contemptuous to be true!

At any rate, the Wizards have an old team like Jamison, an "old team" like Butler, and a top scorer like Arenas. When the Eagles play offense, they can also respond. Faced with the Eagles, the Bobcats, who "heavy defense but light offense", retreated steadily at the beginning of the game. In the end of the game, Gerald Wallace made a foul in the counterattack and scored the first free throw in the last 4 minutes.

At this time, the Eagles had scored 11 points.

The game continued, and the gap was still obvious. Paul and Joe Johnson helped the Eagles firmly control the situation of the game, and did not give the Bobcats a chance to close the score.

Last season, the Eagles had 13 wins and 69 losses, and the Bobcats had 18 wins and 64 losses, the last two in the Eastern Conference.This doesn't mean the Bobcats are better than the Hawks, it's just that the Hawks are worse off.

However, in one summer, the situation faced by the two teams was completely different. The Eagles seemed to have found the core of the team. Although it was only a preseason game, Paul's performance is currently very impressive.As for Felton, it can't be said that it is bad, but it seems that it has not reached the level that can revitalize the team.

After the official timeout, Sean May, the most solid inside offensive player of the Bobcats, appeared on the stage, and the team's offense improved somewhat.

Sean May was the number one contributor to North Carolina's NCAA championship last season. However, among the North Carolina's four young players, his draft pick was only third, only higher than "McCants".

No way, NBA scouts pay more attention to the "upper limit" and potential.Just like last season's runner-up team, the University of Illinois, the team's old Hyde was not selected by the Rockets until the 23rd overall pick, while Deron was selected as the No. [-] pick.

Xiao Enmei's physical condition is average. He is short on the inside and has no explosive power. His shooting range is limited to the free throw line. The strength advantage he had in college is not easy to play against the "meat shields" in the NBA.

However, in the face of the Eagles' "fast but not strong enough" inside group, Sean May is the guarantee of scoring on the offensive end!I don't know whether to say that the Eagles' interior defense is too weak, or that Sean May's strength advantage is really fouled by the NCAA!

Seeing that Sean May was overwhelming inside the Eagles, no matter how he played, Bobcats head coach Bickerstaff simply increased his playing time to help him build up his confidence.

In contrast, Ke Yan was not in a hurry to make a targeted defense against Xiao Enmei in the preseason, and rotated normally to ensure that the players cooperated more tacitly.

The two head coaches have their own demands. Ke Yan focuses on training and wins by the way, so as not to disappoint the home fans.Bickerstaff's goal is to train rookies, including Felton, Sean May and second-year Okafor, all playing more than 30 minutes.

The final score was fixed at 111 to 100, and the Eagles won two consecutive victories in the preseason.

In the whole game, Paul played 22 minutes and scored 8 points, 6 assists, 4 rebounds and 3 steals. The statistics look average, not even better than Felton's 13 points and 7 assists, but fans who watched the game know that the direct confrontation between the two Bit, Paul wins.

Sometimes Excel really doesn't reflect the real game.
