Ended the three-game streak in the West and returned to Atlanta. The Eagles got a 3-day rest.

After the plane landed, Ke Yan also announced very humanely that the players will have a day off, so that everyone can basically relax physically and mentally after the "long" journey.

He pays high attention to the quality of training, and the training session time is even slightly longer than other coaches, but he still talks about basic "humanized" management.The "suggestions" for players' private lives are still the same as they were during the Lakers period. You can play, don't touch things prohibited by the law, go home and sleep before two o'clock in the evening, and ensure adequate sleep.

In later generations, members of the Kardashian family were hailed as the "best defensive players". A group of fans always used remarks such as "13 is poisonous" to ridicule, but it was actually putting the cart before the horse.

Indulging in sex will not cause any physical damage to most people, let alone these energetic athletes.

The real reason why players will experience a significant decline as long as they catch up with members of the Kardashian family is the distribution of "energy".

Associating with this type of Internet celebrity, the nightlife of the players will become very rich. That's just one aspect. Participating in parties and staying up all night is common. Naturally, you can't get enough rest and your physical strength is difficult to guarantee.It takes a lot of time to dress up and try on clothes before going out to play, which will distract players from training and make it difficult to achieve good training results.The physical strength cannot be restored, and the basketball skills cannot be improved. If things go on like this, do you think it will not decline?

There are many nightclub regulars in the Eagles, and Ke Yan's request was a bit troublesome at first.But sometimes life is a process of mutual compromise. Except for Joe Johnson and James Posey, the other players of the Eagles are either on rookie contracts or on basic salary contracts. He didn't have the courage to confront Keyan.

In addition, after getting used to it slowly, I also felt that Ke Yan's request was acceptable, so I formed this habit.

This is also an authority that Ke Yan led the team to win and gradually formed in the team. If you want to change to Stotts last season, no one will care about him.

The players all went home to rest, but Ke Yan himself was not idle. He came to the office. Ke Yan found Larry Sander and asked him to pay close attention to the situation of the Rockets. Round lottery.

Larry Sander felt a little surprised that Keyan made this request.

how to say.The Eagles have no draft pick next season, and the first-round pick in 07 cannot be moved. The Rockets' idea of ​​the first-round pick next season must be the players in the Eagles team, which will definitely affect the Eagles' immediate combat power.

The Eagles are only 6 wins and 4 losses now, and their performance is indeed good, but they are still far from achieving their season goal of reaching the playoffs.Ke Yan is really so confident that he still leads the team to the playoffs even though the team's strength has been damaged?

"Just pay attention, because of my judgment, the Rockets' performance this season may be lower than expected." Ke Yan explained in a general way, "The rate of return on this effort will be very high."

The current general manager of the Rockets is not the difficult Mo Gou, but Dawson with some "undercover" attributes, which is relatively easy to deal with.

Through conversations with Snyder, Hornacek, and Hamblen, it can be seen that the public's expectations for the Rockets' results are roughly 5 to 7 in the West, and converted to 18 to 23 picks in the draft.

If the Eagles acquire a pick with a high probability that can evolve into a lottery pick at a price slightly higher than the trade value of this pick, there will be a lot of success whether it is to choose a rookie or use it as a bargaining chip in exchange for immediate combat power. operating space.

"Kimi, I will try my best to meet your request, but are you sure you want to do this?" Larry Sand reminded, "We haven't produced results yet."

"So I'm just trying to chat, rather than asking you to make a decisive move." After speaking, Ke Yan smiled, "I'm also afraid of moving my core players, but we have some valuable chips that can be used for trading. "

Ke Yan knows which players are not for sale, which players look at quotations, and which players can be traded to upgrade the lineup if they have the opportunity.

"OK, I'll find someone to help test it out." This matter doesn't need Sander to do it himself. Find the general manager of another team to find out.

"No matter what the feedback is, you must tell me." Ke Yan asked.

The Lakers almost traded Walton for Diaw last season, but Kupchak felt that Walton was a treasure, so he didn't agree, and didn't tell Ke Yan about it.

It was only after Ke Yan came to the Eagles that he found out.

He doesn't want this kind of thing to happen a second time.

. . . . . . .

At 11:21 p.m. on November 10, the Hawks, who had a three-day rest, played at home against the opponent they had defeated in the preseason, the Washington Wizards.

During the time of the Lakers, Ke Yan played against the Wizards twice as an acting head coach and won all of them. In addition to a victory in the preseason, Ke Yan's suppression of Wizards coach Eddie Jordan is still obvious.

After entering the home locker room, Ke Yan began his pre-match speech:

"What kind of opponent is the Wizards and how to play tonight's game, I have emphasized several times. Although they were the top four teams in the Eastern Conference last season, they are not as strong as they look. Play according to my tactics, we There is a great chance to win the game. Our current score is 6 wins and 4 losses, and the Wizards are 6 wins and 5 losses. , so, do you understand what I mean?"

When the Lakers were an assistant coach, Ke Yan had a headache when he heard the word "slot battle". He couldn't remember how many "slot battles" he had lost.I hope that coming to the Eagles can change this bad luck.

Ke Yan emphasized the importance of the game in the Eagles locker room, and Eddie Jordan also told his players that if we win the Eagles, we will be the top four in the Eastern Conference!

"Don't look at the fact that the Eagles rank one place ahead of us. They just took some tactical bonuses, and their real strength is not as strong as it looks!" Eddie Jordan belittled the Eagles, "We have to slow down a little bit. Position We have two strong points, Gilbert and Antoine, and the Eagles can't restrain us. Once the game is in their rhythm and we follow them, they can drag us into the quagmire! Unless there is a particularly good opportunity, Otherwise, don’t go for offensive rebounds, Paul and Diaw’s advancement is very oppressive and can create a considerable threat to us, we must pay attention to this point!”

The Wizards have no capital to imitate the experience of the Suns beating the Eagles, but Eddie Jordan believes that the team can beat the Eagles in a slow-paced offense and defense, and the Clippers have set a good example.

Although lost to the Eagles in the preseason, Arenas, the core of the team, is still full of confidence in the game.

So far this season, he has averaged 28.8 points per game, ranking fourth in the scoring list, second only to Kobe, Iverson, and James. His evaluation of his ability may be second only to these three, or even not inferior for these three.

Super scoring ability is the source of Arenas' confidence!

In the opening jump ball, Josh Smith unexpectedly won Heywood. This is the second jump ball he has won since his 11th jump ball in the regular season!

Bounce, sometimes you can beat your height!

Paul dribbles upfield, comes to the right 45 degrees, throws the ball to Diaw at the bull, then Paul returns to the top of the key, Josh Smith comes out to cover him, and the three make a strong side off the ball run Tactics, combined with Joe Johnson on the weak side, except for Diaw, who holds the ball, and Posey, who can only shoot three-pointers from the bottom corner, the other three are moving, which affects the Wizards' defense to the greatest extent.

Arenas is physically strong, but he obviously can't keep up with Paul when he defends off the ball. Jamison chooses to switch defenses. side into the inside line.

Jamison is not good at defending at the power forward position, but his mobility is just good, and he took a step back to block Paul's breakthrough route. Paul got close to Jamison, and suddenly made a dribble towards the sideline. Moved, opened up half a gap, and scored a layup lightly. 2:0.

The Wizards attacked, Arenas slowly held the ball across the half court, Haywood pulled out to set him up as a pick and roll, Arenas made a big stride and forcefully broke through, and abruptly picked up Diaw who was defending the supplementary defense. He forced a mid-range shot and hit!

Arenas' exaggerated shoulder width gave him the confidence to hang on to the flesh. Although his speed is not top-notch, his stride between breakthroughs is longer than others, and he can use his skilled touch to hit shots steadily after confrontation. It is his biggest killing move.

Many people think that his perverse personality ruined him, but this actually only accounts for a small part of the factor.Arenas' biggest problem is unscientific hard training, completely ignoring whether his body can bear the load!

Sometimes hard work can kill!

The Eagles attacked, and Dior went up to hand-off to Paul to cooperate, but suddenly withdrew when the ball was about to be handed over to Paul, and quickly turned around and hit Haywood by surprise. Jamison was about to step forward to defend, The basketball in Dior's hand has already flown into the air.

It was Dior and Josh Smith's iconic "inside pass" and another "Eagle Striking the Sky" dunk. Every time the two completed such cooperation, the fans at the Phillips Center cheered. A logo for the Eagles!

Arenas held the ball for half court. This time, he did not continue his singles, but gave the ball to Jamison at the corner. The latter singles Josh Smith. After a strong step was blocked, he made a step-back jumper , hit steadily.

The Wizards Three Musketeers are very reliable in singles!

Josh Smith quickly served the baseline ball, and the Wizards returned to defense in time. Paul did not find a chance and handed the ball to Joe Johnson on the weak side. hit.

Heywood protected the rebound and handed the ball to Arenas, who advanced to the frontcourt. Seeing that the Eagles returned to defense quickly, he bent over and dribbled the ball to wait for his teammates to come up. . . . . .Suddenly raise your hand and shoot!

A big step behind the three-point line, you can shoot as soon as you say you want to, you think you are Curry!

But before Curry, Arenas was the most daring player in the NBA to throw a long-range three-pointer with the ball.His shot this time was only a little bit short, and the basketball hit the inside of the basket.

Joe Johnson grabbed the long rebound, dribbled the ball to launch a counterattack immediately, rushed all the way to the basket with the ball, and then gave the ball to Posey who was slower but also located on the three-point line. Timely shot outside, hit! (7:4)

Ke Yan was very excited on the sidelines, not because of the 3-point lead, but because the Hawks' fast-break counterattack of this ball played the feeling of the Suns last season.

In the Suns last season, Big Q’s speed was not fast, but he was a shooter in the back row during the fast break counterattack, and he was able to hit three-pointers accurately. This is why the Suns’ fast break can be more "diversified", A key factor of "three-dimensional".

Originally, Ke Yan was looking forward to Ariza with more athletic ability for the team's small forward candidate. Ariza has stronger athletic ability and is more sure of hitting the basket in a counterattack.

However, the Knicks are unwilling to send Ariza, so the Eagles can only trade for Posey, who has a balanced offense and defense. Ke Yan hopes that Posey can provide three-point firepower in fast breaks like the big Q, but Posey has never been very used to running. Boom tactics, the offensive end has not found the touch, and the outside shooting rate is only 28%.

This time, Ke Yan finally hit a chasing three-pointer in the fast break stage, can Ke Yan not be excited!

Arenas pushed forward with the ball, came to the top of the arc, and signaled his teammates to pull away, and he wanted to single out Paul.

Arenas this action so that the entire home booed everywhere.

In basketball games, people like to watch individual heads-up with blood spurting, this is the purest heroism.

But Arenas is also considered the No. [-] player in the league. It's really a little bit to pick a rookie from the list. . . . . .Don't face it.

Paul didn't dodge either, and came to Arenas with a smile. For him, if you lose, you don't lose money, and if you win, you earn blood!

The other players pulled the lines apart, giving space to the two heads-up.

The rhythm of the dribble became faster and faster, and Arenas quickly accelerated away from Paul's left side. His steps were extremely precise and sharp, cutting into the wound like a scalpel.

When he first entered the league, Paul's defense caused troubles for many veteran point guards, but facing Arenas' assault, he felt his own inadequacy.

The body reacted quickly, and he went to block Arenas' assault.

Just when he was about to complete the blockade, he realized that he had been fooled... Sure enough!

Arenas connected a behind-the-back dribble in a high-speed breakthrough state, and Paul could only move across, but he was very smart to leave half a step of space.

Seeing Paul moving sideways, Arenas turned his body to the left again. He thought that repeated shaking would be enough to pass Paul directly, but he didn't expect Paul to predict his movement and wait half a step for him to come over. Blocked in a key position!

Being stuck in the position, Arenas can't move forward for a while, otherwise he will be fouled.

Arenas jumped horizontally with one foot and shot the basketball in a weird posture... Paul wanted to defend, but it was too late.

Swish!

Arenas survived a desperate situation and hit a horizontal jumper.

"@#￥%!" Arenas has a perverted personality. After scoring such a beautiful goal, he must be pretending to be aggressive, and said a few obscenities to Paul.

However, there was no fluctuation in Paul's heart at all. He turned around to catch the ball and continued to organize the offense.

When Arenas defended, Paul didn't fight him. Instead, he used Diaw's cover to quickly attack the penalty area, bullying Haywood to prevent him from defending, and completed a jumper in the middle distance.

"Very good." Ke Yan commented.

He liked Paul's way of handling it, and it was not easy to maintain a calm mind under such circumstances.

A coach, especially a head coach known for "tactical design" and "on-the-spot adjustment", obviously likes players with a calm mind and strong execution ability, rather than copying guys one-on-one when provoked by the opponent.

Arenas continued to use his scoring and impact to help the team score.For the Eagles, Paul and Diaw revitalized the team's offense, and the Eagles scored more efficiently.

At the end of the first quarter, the Eagles led by 31 points at 28:3.

After the start of the second quarter, both the Eagles and the Wizards sent a mixed lineup of starters and substitutes.

The Wizards don't have a defender like Marion. Although Butler's speed and strength are right for Joe Johnson, defense is a disadvantage to offense itself. The Wizards team with mid-range shooting and good organizational skills is enough. The inside combination of David Lee and Mickey Moore is not close to confrontation on the defensive end, but both offensively have a mid-range distance, which can also open up for Joe Johnson's singles. space.

For the Wizards, the main offensive points are Butler and Daniels.

The former is Ke Yan's former student. He is brave and resourceful, has good physical condition and strong singles ability, but he is not very good at passing the ball. Or to put it another way, he only has one or two ways to deal with the ball in his mind.Ke Yan arranged for Mickey Moore to double-team him, and at the same time mainly pinched him to pass the ball to Ethan Thomas, and his efficiency came down.

And Daniels' performance in the Wizards this season is much worse than that in the Supersonics last season, and he is suspected of lying flat after getting a big contract.

The Eagles gradually gained the upper hand in the confrontation.Eddie Jordan, who had already lost to Keyan several times, made timely adjustments and replaced Arenas to stabilize the situation. "Agent No. 0" came on the stage, and immediately hit a smart three-pointer to help the team stop the bleeding (44:38)

Arenas at his peak is really powerful!

Ke Yan didn't dare to be careless, and immediately replaced Paul to help Joe Johnson.

The leading edge that was finally established cannot be lost like this!

Afterwards, both teams returned their complete starting lineups to the court, and the game returned to the rhythm of the first quarter. The Wizards tried their best to slow down the rhythm. The two teams grinded their positions one by one. The Eagles work as a team, dismembering each other's defenses in their own way.

The Eagles maintained their lead and ended the first half 57:50.
