At the beginning of the new year, the NBA officially announced the voting results of the first stage of the 06 All-Star Game.

Yao Ming still occupies the throne of "voting king" without any hesitation. Whether it is the people of the motherland or the Chinese community in the United States, they support Yao Ming unconditionally. Voting, but after O'Neal left, Yao Ming was already the only choice, and there was no competitor in the same position!

Chris Paul and Boris Dior also received Chinese voting benefits.Thanks to Ke Yan's identity, the Eagles got a lot of broadcasts on CCTV. In addition, Yang Yi often gave Paul "motivation" in the commentary, which allowed Paul to accumulate a lot of popularity. The current number of votes ranks among the Eastern backcourts. In second place, second only to Iverson.

Behind him, including Arenas, Carter, Kidd, Wade and a group of veteran stars!

If he maintains this record, he will become another All-Star starter in his rookie season after Yao Ming.

Of course, whether he can be selected as a starter is still unknown, but Paul's stunning performance this season and the Eagles' exaggerated record make it not a big problem to be selected as an All-Star.

You know, the last rookie season before Yao Ming was selected for the All-Star Game. It has been traced back to Duncan in 98. He entered the league with a full-level number. Duncan directly entered the regular season in his rookie season. It is a matter of course.Paul hopes to replicate the trajectory of this senior, and even after the end of the season, he also hopes to hit the best team?

In comparison, Dior overwhelmed Howard and Ben Wallace, and ranked second in the number of votes among Eastern centers, which is more of an encouraging nature.Compared with Ben Wallace, a "king of heaven" blue-collar All-Star performing defense, fans want to see a gorgeous offense, and even the league expects the same.

However, in the case that O'Neal is destined to occupy the starting center position, whether Diaw can enjoy the bonus of position and play style and be promoted to the All-Star by the league depends on his performance in the next month.

In addition to some news on the league's official website, Ke Yan also received a rookie report from the team's scouting team, Bradley.

Since the Hawks completed the deal with the Rockets, they got a potential high draft pick.In order to prevent accidents, there is no way to get the ideal bargaining chips for this lottery at that time, and you must use it yourself. Ke Yan added a watch list including Roy to the scouting team, and Bradley also gave timely feedback. And highly recommended Brandon Roy on the scouting report.

"Roy is a combo guard with excellent overall skills. He has a clear mind, is good at making the right decisions, and has a thorough understanding of the game; he has a very mature style of play, and is a shooter with a big heart. Afraid to drive inside with the ball, good turnaround footwork; excellent one-on-one skills, can shoot with the ball, and can also drive to the basket; an underrated player."

With Paul already occupying the "core" position, Roy, who also has some "possession of the ball", is not necessarily suitable. At most, he can play the sixth man position, so that the Eagles do not need to be at the end of the first quarter and the second quarter. At the beginning of the second quarter, the backcourt double guns began to be split.

If Roy can grow to the level of Ginobili or Harden (Thunder period) in this position, at least he is worthy of his own pick, less game time, lower loss, maybe it can make Roy's Career is not so "premature"?

It's not impossible, but for such a genius, it's a bit "reckless"!

The most ideal state is to "exchange small change for whole money" in a timely manner, and make full use of Paul's rookie bonus to build a competitive and strong lineup.

. . . . . .

"Congratulations to the Eagles on the second day of the new year, with a 109-96 victory over the Kings, raising the winning streak to 6 games! Now, the team ranks third in the Eastern Conference with a record of 23 wins and 10 losses, which is a lot of people before the season. Unexpected results. Kimi said that his two goals this season, one is to lead the Eagles to triple their performance to 39 wins; the other is to hope that the team can hit the playoffs. Looking at it now, this The goal is really conservative! Looking at it now, the Eagles may be able to hit four times the record of last season.” On January 1, the Eagles successfully defeated Sacramento led by Mike Bibby and Artest at home. For the Kings, Toblin, the team's home commentator, made a tirade to build momentum for Keyan.

"For comparison, the current record of the Lakers coached by Kimi last season was 15 wins and 19 losses, ranking No.11 in the Western Conference. Obviously, the Lakers failed to upgrade the head coach position this time! When you have a When a team has the strength to hit the championship, Phil Jackson may be able to help you win the championship, but a team that is waiting to be rebuilt needs a coach like Kimi who knows people and knows how to tap the potential of young people. We thank the Lakers veteran Kimi sent by Iron!"

"I'm looking forward to it, Earl Lightning can bring us more glory!"

No matter how much Ke Yan doesn't like Phil Jackson, the opponent wears 9 championship rings on his hands. When people talk about Phil Jackson, they will think that he can raise the upper limit of a team and lead a strong team to win the championship.

This is indeed true, but is Ke Yan himself really just a "team building bishop"?If you give him a good card, can't he win the championship, surpass the "cardinal" and become the "pope of basketball"?No one knows.

Come step by step, Ke Yan has the ambition to compete for the championship, but he is also well aware of his strengths and weaknesses.Laying the foundation of the Eagles is also a process of "consolidating the foundation and cultivating talents" for himself.

After the game against the Kings, the Eagles players had no time to rest and took a special plane to Orlando overnight to challenge the Orlando Magic back to back.

Atlanta is not far from Orlando, and the time spent on the road is not much, and the players have plenty of time to rest.

The next morning, Ke Yan did not arrange training, but arranged two hours of tactical training in the afternoon to maintain his condition and prepare for the game against the Magic in the evening.

Compared with the last match, the lineups of the two teams have changed a lot.Needless to say, the Eagles, after the completion of the four-way trade, the changes in the bench lineup are quite obvious.Among the four new aids, only Udoka can barely sit in the rotation lineup, Juwan Howard and Lucas can only appear in garbage time, and Christie has not even played for the Eagles because of a knee injury. Raced.

The Magic also completed a big deal after Christmas. The team got rid of Francis, who was not playing well, and used this "former All-Star guard" to trade from the Knicks for cheap and old Penny Hardaway and Keyan Ariza, who was thinking about it, cut Hardaway directly.

They are not optimistic about Ariza's potential, and Ariza is still only Turkoglu's substitute in the Magic.The Magic are willing to pay such a high price, simply wanting to get rid of Francis, which shows how annoying Francis is to them!

And to replace Francis' starting point guard duties is second-year rookie Nelson.A point guard who looks average in all aspects. He is not tall, not fast, and has an urgent passing vision. The advantages are above-level shooting and certain singles ability.

With Howard, who is willing to play pick-and-roll, Nelson's data is very confusing. After the pick-and-roll, as long as he throws the ball into the sky without thinking, Howard can always catch the ball. Up one!

Another change for the Magic is that Turkish agent Turkoglu "benefited" from Grant Hill's injury and started at the top.From this point of view, the core players for the Magic to "break" into the finals in the future are only missing Lewis!

"Turkoglu is a point guard with a height of four! His shooting ability is very strong, and he is also very good at organizing passes! When we defend the pick-and-roll, we must stick it up. I would rather let Howard catch the ball and run it down. Find a way to foul, and don't give Turkoglu an easy shot!" Before the game preparations, Ke Yan repeatedly emphasized Turkoglu's threat, which subtly increased the players' attention to Turkoglu.

The overall style of the Magic team is relatively "poor attack". The departure of Francis and the injury of Grant Hill took away the team's breakthrough ability. The team's offensive end relies heavily on Turkoglu's organization; in addition , the only one who can complete the singles is Jordan Pietrus of France.

The opening jump ball, facing his childhood friend Josh Smith, Howard lightly expressed his ape arms, easily gave the ball to his teammates in the backcourt, and then "pushed" Josh Smith, talking and laughing. .

After receiving the ball, Nelson didn't advance immediately, but stopped for a while, and then slowly dribbled the ball across the half-court after all his teammates had passed the half-court.

At the top of the arc, Paul slowly came over. Nelson stopped to protect the ball and waved to the inside. Howard immediately came up to cover him.

Dio immediately followed, stopped in front of Nelson, stretched out his long arms to cover Nelson, and Paul also went around the cover to pinch Nelson.

Nelson saw two people pinching him, and instead of forcing a shot, he jumped up and passed the ball to Howard, who was running down. Unfortunately, this pass route was calculated in advance, and Josh Smith took the first step to steal the ball. , the Eagles hit a quick counterattack immediately. Josh Smith, who usually has a great appetite for cakes, turned into a pancake master this time, reciprocated, and assisted Dior to complete the dunk!

It was a rare opportunity to dunk. After landing, Dior also imitated the usual Josh Smith and made a "wings flapping" celebration!The audience in the away game didn't respond, everyone on the Eagles' bench was happy, and even Ke Yan bit his lip with a smile on his face.

The second time he held the ball across the half, Nelson handed the ball to Turkoglu, and he ran honestly to the bottom corner.Turkoglu came to the flank with the ball, reached out to signal Howard to take a position, and then passed the ball.

Howard hit Dior in a low post single, pushed Dior away with a back-up collision, and took advantage of the opportunity to hit the board and get into the basket, which was much easier than he imagined.

Although his skills are average and his feet are not good, Howard is in good health!What's more, Howard's height does not have an advantage against most centers, but when he meets Dior, Howard can finally enjoy the feeling of a giant for a while!

Paul slowly dribbled the ball across the half court and continued to play pick-and-roll with Diaw.

Paul came over in time to respond, and after finishing the hand-to-hand cooperation with Dior, he passed the ball from Howard's crotch to Dior who was running down. 2:4.

In addition to the Pistons, the Magic and Timberwolves have Howard and Garnett, two top inside defenders, which have obvious restraint on the Eagles.It's just that they didn't have the corresponding perimeter defense. On the contrary, they completely hoped that Howard and Garnett would help the perimeter. In front of Paul and Dior, two passing masters, they neglected one thing and lost another!

Nelson launched the pick-and-roll with Howard again, taking advantage of the gap left by Paul when he circled the screen, suddenly activated, went inside, and scored a layup with Dior's defensive underhand! (4:4)

The body is solid enough, the shot is firm enough, and the Eagles' inside defense is really too weak!

Paul held the ball across half court, Diaw went up to the top of the arc, Joe Johnson and Posey ran to the right corner and 45 degrees outside the three-point line, brought Pietrus and Turkoglu over, Josh Smith also withdrew from the Heat penalty area and came to the left corner. Tony Batty had to follow him to the left side of the penalty area in order not to be blown to defend for three seconds.

With the help of Dior's pick-and-roll, Paul broke through on the right. Howard continued to pinch Paul. Paul hit the ground and passed it to Diaw. After Dior received the ball, he rushed to the Magic penalty area with the ball. .

Dior started to receive the ball, turned his head to the right, and shook his hands to the right, making a gesture to pass the ball to Joe Johnson in the corner. Howard paused and ran back, but Dior immediately received the ball and rushed to the basket. Barty came up to block, Dior threw the ball into the sky, Josh Smith came out from behind Barty, caught the ball with both hands, and slammed it into the basket! (4:6)

After Cato left, the Magic's defense relied more on Howard than ever!I just don't know how the Magic should respond if Ke Yan tries the shark-slashing tactic again.

Of course, if it is not necessary, Ke Yan usually does not choose to use the "shark-cutting tactic", and prefers to solve the problem in his own way and dismantle the opponent's defense head-on.This is like programmers repairing system bugs. Some programmers reinstall the system in case of trouble, and they can only be IT migrant workers in this life; If you get exercise, your career will develop better.

You can't kill a shark when you meet Howard in your life, right?

Turkoglu received the ball in the half court, broke through from the right through the pick-and-roll, overwhelmed Josh Smith by half, came to the position of the free throw line and suddenly stopped, his body turned sideways, hanging some Josh Smith, affecting the opponent The speed of chasing and defending accelerated again, stepping on the European step to avoid Dior who was assisting the defense, and succeeded in picking the basket. (6:6)

The Eagles focus on defending Teko's isolated mid-range and long-range shots. He uses his shooting threats to look for opportunities to break through. He is indeed playing with his brain!

The Eagles attacked, and the others cleared the strong side. Joe Johnson singled out Pietrus. After holding the ball from an angle, he made a mid-range shot and hit the front of the basket. Howard grabbed the rebound and noticed Nelson who was going down fast. A long pass, thrown out of the baseline. . . . . .

Launching a fast break in the backcourt is not just about being conscious and having good vision. Passing skills and techniques are equally important.

Otherwise, how can there be only one Dior!

The game continued, the Eagles played the iconic on-line double pick-and-roll, which created a chance for Joe Johnson to single out Batty. Facing Batty's defense, Joe Johnson dribbled the ball very low and dribbled through the rhythm of his fingertips The change belt distorted Batty's defensive center of gravity, and he made a mid-range shot! (6:8)

Jameer Nelson held the ball across the half court and fed the ball to Howard. Unexpectedly, Howard didn't have a good position at all in this wave.

Joe Johnson retracted to protect the rebound, and passed a long pass to Posey. The latter's ability to handle the ball in offensive and defensive transitions was mediocre.

In December, Posey's single-month three-point shooting percentage recovered to a passing level of 12%, which can be regarded as an initial adaptation to Keyan's running and bombing system, but in fact, in the team's starting five, Posey's contribution value should be is the lowest.He performed better on the defensive end, but as a small forward, he really lacks impact on the offensive end. In many cases, the Eagles' fast break, he can only follow behind as a backup for the back row.

It's not that it's bad, it's a bit monotonous!

As Paul and Josh Smith completed the lob cooperation after the pick-and-roll, the Magic took the lead in making personnel adjustments, replacing Batty with Bynum, changing into a twin tower, and taking advantage of the Eagles' weak inside!

Just, is it that easy?
