Ke Yan leads the team with excellent results and has more voice in the team.No, once the Eagles scouting team completed the player report for this season's NCAA competition, they immediately copied it to Ke Yan and asked him for suggestions for the next step to see who they should focus on.

Since the NBA has reached an agreement with the NCAA, the future draft will no longer accept applications from high school players, and the age of draft players has been restricted. Therefore, the situation of underage players like Bynum entering the league has completely become Historically, except for international players, teams can only select from the NCAA.

"Aldridge: He is 2 meters tall, with a wingspan of 11 meters and a standing height of 2 meters. He is a long man with a very good wingspan. As an inside player with his hands above his knees, Aldridge has Excellent athletic ability, proficient offensive skills and excellent shooting touch, his shooting in the middle distance is very accurate; excellent physical fitness allows him to take off easily, and his bounce speed is fast, giving him an advantage when rebounding and dunking .His body is not strong enough, his playing style is not tough enough, and he is often weaker when he meets extremely strong and tough inside opponents."

"Rudy Gay: Soft touch, tall and long wings, excellent physical fitness, excellent fast attack ability; stable mid-range jumper; poor overall view, doesn't like to fight against fouls."

"Randy Foye: He plays with a street ball style. His moves are gorgeous and he can use unconventional moves to break through opponents. He has excellent physical fitness, running and jumping are also excellent, his style of play is strong, and his shooting percentage is very high. "

Although the Eagles did not have a first-round pick this season, and even the second-round picks were picked from the Pistons, the Eagles achieved great success in the 05 draft. On "Taobao".

Including Keyan and Larry Sander, they do not rule out the possibility of trading for draft picks.

In this case, the scouting team still did not give up their attention to the popular rookies, and gave a scouting report for these few.

However, in Ke Yan's view, among the rookies in this class, those who are strong enough to grow into core players and fit well with the Eagles as a whole are the "little basic skills" Aldridge, who is the default top three pick.

Roy's strength needless to say, but his "big core with the ball" type of combo guard is more suitable for a 3D point guard, and the Eagles are not suitable for him.

Gay, a wing single player, also has a certain value for training, but he also needs the ball to be able to practice. Historically, his combination with DeRozan is really a bit of a "disaster".

Considering these, even if Ke Yan has the intention of "robbing" the Rockets, he is more inclined to use draft picks to make a fuss in the trading market, and consider using lottery picks + potential rookies + trading exceptions OR extra heads to get enough The weight of the star.

The second-round pick of the Pistons in his hand is suitable for Taobao with the second pick.

Millsap of Louisiana Tech, PJ Tucker of the University of Texas, and Barea of ​​Northeastern University are all good candidates.

Except for PJ Tucker, Millsap and Barea both showed their talents soon after entering the league.With a little adaptation, he can quickly become the team's immediate combat force.

Ke Yan quickly sent his list to the scouting director Bradley, who couldn't help but sigh in amazement when he saw the list.

"How did he pay attention to these people?"

. . . . . .

The day after losing to the Heat, the Eagles lost 113:119 away to the Wizards and suffered a two-game losing streak.

The loss to the Heat in the last game was mainly a matter of strength. The Eagles lineup was overwhelmed by the Heat, and Ke Yan did his best. He really couldn't match up to the Heat; The Wizards, in fact, the reason is similar, that is, they can't guard against Arenas, the core player of the Wizards!

Agent No. 0 felt convulsive in this game, how to cast, how to have.In a single game, he made 30 of 17, 9 of 4 three-pointers, scored 45 points, and beat Paul.

Apart from Arenas, Jamison and Butler also performed well, the three musketeers scored 82 points together.The three core players feel good at the same time, and the Eagles can only swallow the bitter fruit of two consecutive losses on the defensive end.

"To put it another way, Arenas almost shot 60% of his shots, and we only lost by 6 points. This shows that our performance is not bad, right?" After the game, Ke Yan comforted his players.

In this game, it was really not because the players lost their defense, lost their position, or made the mistake of marking the ball and not marking the man. It was all because Arenas felt "exploded" and blasted the Eagles abruptly. The team's two lines of defense.

In this case, Ke Yan will not be too harsh on the players. After all, Arenas is the top scorer in the league. Even if you let the peak Payton defend, you can't stop Arenas who is at his peak.There is always bad luck, when you catch up with the opponent's big move.

Who hasn't stepped on shit in their life?

12月14日，老鹰队主场迎战夏洛特山猫队，108比90击败对手，终止了两连败。（15-8）

Although just one third of the season has passed, the Bobcats, the league's new army, have entered the "training state" again.Since the combination of Felton, Gerald Wallace and Okafor can't help the team's rise, let's "put it on" for another year!

Last season suffered from a lack of thoroughness in "bad performance". Obviously, the team also took a fancy to Paul and Deron, but the fifth overall pick could only bring Felton. As a result, Jordan's The North Carolina junior is indeed the weakest of the three point guards.This season, the Bobcats simply went to the position of the negative squad leader of the league.

Anyway, it is a new army of the alliance, and there is nothing to be ashamed of!

Watching Paul playing 32 minutes and easily scoring 20+8, and then looking at Felton, Jordan, one of the team's shareholders, also felt embarrassing.

Although he has fulfilled his wish to become the owner of a team, the God of Basketball still has a long way to go to improve the team's strength!

On December 12, the league broke out the biggest deal since the start of the season. The Pacers officially announced that forward Artest was traded to the Sacramento Kings in exchange for three-time All-Star player Stojakovic.

Artest performed very well this season. His average of 22 points, 6 rebounds and 2 steals per game is completely at the All-Star level. On the other hand, Peja, not to mention his strong offense and weak defense, has also dropped to an average of 16.5 points per game. It is also becoming more and more close to a "pure shooter".It should be said that the decline in the strength of the Pacers is relatively obvious.

But Larry Bird can't help it. The team wants to train Granger, who joined the team this season, as a top player. Artest is not suitable for staying in the team.Not only Artest, but other thorns including Stephen Jackson, Bird intends to trade away!

When there are young players worthy of cultivation in the team, Ke Yan also thinks that Bird's approach is actually not a big problem.Some thorny players will really lead young people badly!Sometimes it is really not a bad thing for a strong man to cut his wrist and stop the loss in time.

"We can also pay attention to Stephen Jackson, he is more suitable for my tactics than James." Ke Yan said to Larry Sander.

Historically, Stephen Jackson was a member of the "Golden State Gang" who created the Black Eight miracle, and his status in the team may be second only to Baron Davis.In the series that beat the Mavericks, Stephen Jackson was also the candidate to defend Nowitzki, which caused great trouble for the current MVP!

. . . . . . . .

The Eagles played against the Memphis Grizzlies at home. Fans entered the Phillips Arena early and took their seats.

Highlights of the players' wonderful goals were put on the big screen to warm up the game.

The fans started applauding and cheering as the players came out.Joe Johnson took the lead, Paul was the finale, and the fans applauded thunderously.

After the warm-up, the starters of both sides stood on the court.

Five Eagles: Paul, Joe Johnson, Posey, Josh Smith, Diaw.

Grizzlies five: Damon Stoudemire, Mike Miller, Battier, Gasol, Wright.

Gasol won the jump ball and the game officially began.

Stoudemire and Gasol hit the pick-and-roll in the middle, and Diaw directly chose to switch defenses.

Stoudemire took the right side and divided the ball into the middle, Gasol squeezed Paul to the inside, and Josh Smith stepped forward to form a double-team.

Gasol scored the ball, Wright caught the ball open and made a layup, but was interfered by the withdrawn Posey.

"Di!"

It was an obvious foul, and Posey didn't argue, and raised his hand to accept the penalty.

Wright made two free throws and the Grizzlies took the lead.

The Eagles attacked, Paul passed the ball to Diaw, who was pulled out of the perimeter, and then ran to the right corner, Joe Johnson was on the right at 70 degrees, Posey and Josh Smith were on the left, and the offensive formation was all stretched out.

Facing Lorent Wright's defense, Diaw broke through with the ball inside, pressed to the free throw line and swayed to the side. Suddenly, he shot a jumper from the middle. His touch was very soft and his strength was just right, and he hit the net hollow!

Diaw is good at passing, but he is not without scoring ability.Against most centers, Diaw has footwork advantage, and has a shot that is not effective at all times. After flashing the offensive angle, he can shoot directly to kill the opponent.

The Grizzlies set up their positions, and Josh Smith desperately circled forward to limit Gasol from receiving the ball, forcing Gasol to circle from the left to the right without receiving the ball.

"The face is a bit more ferocious, and I'm about to catch up with James!" Ke Yan thought of a famous scene in the future, and joked.

Unable to catch the ball in the low post, Gasol pulls to the left to set a screen for Mike Miller, who runs 70 degrees to the left and receives the pass from Battier.

The Eagles' defense appeared to be incoherent. Josh Smith and Joe Johnson all pounced on Miller. Miller swayed a little space and passed the ball to the left to the air-cut Gasol. Gasol took the ball A big stride went straight to the basket, facing Dior and dunking the ball into the basket, his expression was a little arrogant!

Gasol is a bit soft when he meets top power forwards, but "Bao Cai" is a good player. He is tall and long, looks "thin" but has strong core strength and comprehensive skills. There was even a one-and-a-half shot.

The Eagles attacked, Paul took the ball to the frontcourt, and after the pick-and-roll attracted the oppressive Grizzlies inside to shrink the penalty area and passed the ball to Joe Johnson.

Joe Johnson leaned back against Miller on the left side, made a fadeaway jumper and hit it under interference, 4:3.

The Grizzlies attacked, and Stoudemire continued to play a pick-and-roll with Gasol to the right, attracting Josh Smith to defend, and passed back to the center. Gasol didn't take a shot against Joe Johnson and passed the ball to the On the left, Mike Miller singled out Paul, pushed past Paul's defense with a strong step, and hit a mid-range shot. (4:5)

When he was with the Lakers last season, the Grizzlies' wing group gave Ke Yan a headache. This season, the Grizzlies sent away Posey and Bunch Wells successively, but their strength has not weakened much. Mike Miller has improved significantly. Has grown into the team's second scorer.

Paul controlled the rhythm very well. He took it to the front court and pretended to play a pick-and-roll with Dior. At the moment when Dior was in position, he suddenly made a strong attack in the opposite direction, passed Stoudemire, and went to the basket with a realistic fake move. Overwhelmed Wright and scored an easy layup! (6:5)

The Grizzlies attacked, passed back and forth and finally found no space, so they could only give the ball to Gasol for singles, the attack time was not enough, Gasol barely missed the basket with a jumper, the rebound was protected by Dior, luck Once you hit the ball, you can see everything immediately and create murderous intentions.

Paul took the lead and went to the basket. After observing Battier's aggressive defensive jump behind him, he didn't force a shot. Instead, he pulled an arc and sent the ball back from his armpit. Wanting to turn around and make an offensive foul, he was directly "ridden by a flying dragon" by Joe Johnson. (8:5)

Joe Johnson didn't take off easily, but he took off once in a while. The height was scary, and his thigh directly touched Battier's chin, causing Battier to lie on the ground for a long time, and then he was replaced by Eddie Jones.

In the next round, the Grizzlies made a mistake in coordination. Gasol attracted the double-team and then split the ball. Eddie Jones ran sideways to catch the ball and accidentally stepped on the sideline.

The Eagles attacked, Joe Johnson ran from the side to catch the ball and made a three-pointer, 11 to 5.

Although Mike Miller's defense is not bad, Battier is the core of the Grizzlies' outside defense. The single defense is first-class, and the defense is top-notch. When he leaves the field, the Grizzlies can't defend the Eagles even more.

Gasol finally suppressed Josh Smith in the low position to catch the ball with his back, turned to the baseline, took advantage of his height, turned around and shot on the right side, and scored 11:7.

The Eagles played a high pick-and-roll, and Paul cleverly distributed the ball to help Josh Smith take off in three steps, but Lorent Wright, who was supplementing the defense, still interfered with Josh Smith. The latter shot under the interference and missed.

Opportunities have been created, but Josh Smith's finishing ability has been inconsistent.There is no way to do this. If you build Josh Smith according to Marion's path, you can't expect the opponent to have Stoudemire's finishing ability.

In the Grizzlies battle, Mike Miller got rid of Gasol's cover and received a pass from Stoudemire. Dior switched defenses in time and successfully interfered with Mike Miller's shot, which missed.

Wright rushed to grab the offensive rebound, Josh Smith went up to fight in time, Wright didn't choose to go strong, and was able to pass the ball, Eddie Jones singled out Joe Johnson, and missed a jumper with half of his body.

The backcourt rebound was caught by Dior again, and suddenly a long pass was sent to the frontcourt when it landed, and Paul was about to go down.

After catching the ball and rushing into the penalty area, Paul took off with both feet, stretched his body and completed a two-handed dunk, detonating the audience.

Of course, this slam dunk cannot be compared with Josh Smith who is going to participate in the slam dunk contest, but it is even more rare and rare.

Although Paul's physical fitness is good, it is not difficult to complete the dunk, but he has a calm personality, and he is not usually good at dunking with his body in this way.

Not long after the opening, the team had already been hit by the Eagles for two quick counterattacks. Hubie Brown immediately called a timeout, asking the players to improve their offensive efficiency, not to fight for offensive rebounds when the opportunity is not particularly good, and pay attention to returning to defense.

The Grizzlies can rank among the top eight in the Western Conference. Excellent tactical execution is the key. After returning from the timeout, they immediately launched a more efficient offense around Gasol, and gave up the fight for offensive rebounds, resolutely returned Defense, do not give the Eagles a chance to make a fast break.

The Eagles immediately adjusted the team's offensive focus. The singles after using the pick-and-roll with two guns in the backcourt also caused a headache for the Grizzlies, and they couldn't prevent it at all!

In the second half of the first quarter, in order to limit the Eagles' double shots in the backcourt, Hubie Brown arranged a double-team and relaxed the defense against Posey and Josh Smith.

The touch that Posey finally found was gone again, and he missed two consecutive shots, and the touch was not good.Ke Yan made a substitution immediately, veteran Kittles came off the bench, and replaced Josh Smith with David Lee.

The substitution immediately paid off. In the next round, Eddie Jones went to double-team the breakthrough Paul. Kittles received the ball from the right corner and made a steady three-pointer.

On the defensive end, the Eagles consciously let go of the Grizzlies' No. 15 rookie of the season, Hakim Warrick. This player is the same type as Swift, who was just stolen by the Rockets. A powerful power forward, the disadvantage is that the player's quotient is average, and his height and confrontation are not as good as Swift.

The game continued, and the Grizzlies gradually couldn't keep up with the intensity of the Eagles. At the end of the first quarter, the Eagles led the Grizzlies by 37 points 26:11.

In the second quarter, Keyan sent House, Joe Johnson, Barnes, David Lee, and Milicic.Joe Johnson plays more of a ball-holding and feint role on the court, creating more shots for David Lee and House.

Milicic, who successfully lost weight, finally entered the team's rotation in this game, but the task of the Serbian genius is to start with defense, do some pick-and-roll, block, frame protection, and the effect is not bad.The Eagles not only had decent offensive efficiency, but also kept the Grizzlies off the bench.

In the new season, the Grizzlies have always arranged Mike Miller as the sixth man to drive the bench lineup, but in this game, Hubie Brown made personnel adjustments and transferred Mike Miller to the starting lineup, trying to catch the Eagles by surprise.

result. . . . . .The Eagles didn't have much discomfort, but the Grizzlies themselves messed up, and the bench lineup didn't bring offense.

After playing 4 minutes in the second quarter, the point difference has reached 17 points.Hubby Brown had no choice but to take Gasol and Battier in advance to help the team stabilize the situation and not let the point difference widen.However, in the face of Milicic and David Lee's pincer attack, Gasol's debut did not bring immediate improvement to the team's offense, unable to change the shortcomings of the Grizzlies' poor offense.

In terms of strength, Gasol is indeed up to the standard of a master, but in terms of style of play and mentality, Gasol is still a little "soft".

This character is really a perfect match with Kobe!

In the second half of the second quarter, Paul, Kittles, Posey, Josh Smith, and Diaw came on the stage. The Eagles may directly fight and run away, while the rushing Grizzlies lose sight of the other, or play positional warfare around Paul, staring at the old flying squirrels Let's fight at this point and continue to widen the gap.

At the end of halftime, the score was 66 to 42, and there was almost no suspense in the game.

For a team that has always been accustomed to playing slow-paced offensive and defensive battles, falling behind by 24 points is almost equal to losing.This is not only a point difference, but also means that the team's defense cannot withstand the opponent's impact at all.Similarly, for this type of team, the scoring efficiency is relatively slow, and it may be possible to score 24 points in one game.

Compared with the team's victory, Ke Yan is more happy that Milicic has gradually integrated into the Eagles team.In the past two seasons with the Pistons, Milicic's aura has been exhausted, but it has to be said that his confrontation and defense have improved somewhat, and these happen to be what the Eagles need.

Milicic is also pleased with the change in his situation with the Hawks, which also has a "psychological anticipation" factor.

Entering the NBA with the No. [-] pick in the draft year, Milicic is targeting James, Anthony, Bosh, and even Kaman. The outside world is not satisfied with him, and it is difficult for him to accept it.And being thrown to the Eagles as a "junk contract", Milicic's targets were some well-known parallel imports in history. Now that there are signs of "resurrection", he naturally has more longing in his heart.

The final score was fixed at 114:98. The Eagles stayed strong in the second half and did not "humiliate" their neighbors, but at the same time, they did not allow the Grizzlies to approach the score to a dangerous level. The final 16 points difference, Is it "just right"? (16-8)

In the post-match interview session, Ke Yan affirmed the performance of the players, especially Paul.During the interview, Ke Yan clarified Paul's core position and hoped that everyone would vote for him and send him to the All-Star.

It is indeed very difficult for a rookie to be selected as an All-Star. It is stronger than James. He did not enter the All-Star Game list in his rookie season. The last rookie who entered the All-Star Game in his first year had to be traced back to Yao Ming in 02. This is a blow to dimensionality reduction in voting up.

Leaving aside Yao Ming, the last rookie to be selected as an All-Star in his first year was Tim Duncan, a ruthless guy who was selected to the All-NBA Team in his rookie season!

Historically, there was a "miracle" in the All-Star game this year. The Eastern All-Star team was beaten in the first half and replaced the combination of the Pistons four + James, relying on "defense + counterattack". "Turned it back and won the game in the end.

Although the overall strength of the Eastern Conference team is weak, the Pistons directly bagged four All-Stars, which is more or less a bit. . . . . .Eat alone.

Right now, the Eagles are taking off, and occupying an All-Star position is the minimum.Ke Yan clarified Paul's "core position" in the interview, and he is also building momentum for Paul. Even if he can't be put in the starting lineup, at least he should not be excluded from the substitute list because of the loss of seniority.
