The Magic has transformed into twin towers. Ke Yan has already prepared the routine of being pressed in the low post and then quickly pushing the fast break to bring the rhythm up. Even Josh Smith and Diaw are ready.

However, the next Magic team's offense still started from Howard's high pick-and-roll. With the help of Howard's pick-and-roll, Turkoglu made a long two-point shot!

"???" Ke Yan felt that he had been insulted, was he being tricked?

Going up to the twin towers to play pick and roll, Ke Yan was really caught off guard.

The Hawks attacked, Howard went to the outside to make up, Bynum defended the inside frame, the effect was surprisingly good, the Eagles' offense was contained by Howard, Paul failed to make the last forced shot.

However, this attack is not over yet!Bynum's frame protection effect is good, but he lacks some positioning awareness when grabbing rebounds. Josh Smith is forced into the penalty area from behind obliquely, and the magic weapon descends to complete the dunk! (8:12)

It was obviously a successful defense, but because of Bynum's "low-level" mistakes and lost points, it was still a "five-best" level wonderful dunk.

On the subsequent offensive end, Turkoglu played a pick-and-roll with Howard, and distributed the ball to Howard to hit the inside, causing Josh Smith to foul.

"Boom!" Howard missed the first free throw, and his teammates came up to give high fives to encourage him.

Taking a breather, Howard executes his second free throw and lands firmly in the box.

But before Howard could heave a sigh of relief, the Hawks, Josh Smith has already sent the ball from the bottom line and handed the ball to Diaw.

"Gan!"

Diaw took a step forward, and then sent the ball to the frontcourt. The Eagles played 3-on-3 in the frontcourt. Joe Johnson broke into the basket, opened Turkoglu's defense and scored steadily. (9:14)

The Turk is a good player on the offensive end, but he is not protected by Howard on the defensive end, and he is basically a colander. This is also an important reason why his career is only at the peak of one year!

Speaking of which, Brian Hill's operation is quite special. Sitting on the young twin towers of Bynum and Howard, his focus is indeed on the defensive end.The tall and long-armed Bynum helped Howard take over the task of protecting the frame, allowing Howard to give full play to his mobility advantages and sweep around the perimeter.

This can be regarded as using Howard as Garnett. At the same time, because Bynum is inside, the defensive effect achieved in the positional battle is better than that of the Timberwolves!Rao is that the Eagles are the league's leading offensive team. Apart from speeding up the pace and switching offense and defense, there is no good way.

In terms of defense alone, Howard is really a bug. Except for Yao Ming who can deal with him, no one else can find a bargain against him!

The defensive end has built a steel defense around Howard, and the Magic's offensive end is "a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west".Relying on this seemingly unreliable offense and rock-solid defense, the Magic slowly caught up with the score and completed the lead before the official timeout! (19:17)

The team's offense was suppressed, but Ke Yan did not panic.During the timeout, the emphasis was on running to wear down Bynum's offensive strategy. Against Howard, dare to attack and make fouls, and beat Howard down, and the Magic's defensive system will be self-defeating!

Compared with defensive deterrence, coverage, and air defense capabilities, Howard is not inferior to Garnett in the slightest, and even surpasses Garnett in top defense; but Howard also has his own weaknesses. He is not as experienced as Garnett and knows how to choose. Actively filling the position around, it is easy to catch a foul!

As a defensive core, the most important thing to do is to protect yourself. Only those who stay on the field can bring greater help to the team!

After the timeout, the Eagles attacked. Paul faced Nelson's defense and then made a change of direction. He accelerated directly and cut inside against Nelson.

Facing Paul's cut, Nelson moved quickly, took a step back to the right, and got stuck.Paul leaned directly against Nelson to make a jump shot, and the basketball slammed into the basket with a short arc in the air. (19:19)

Being overwhelmed by Paul in singles, Nelson tried to launch a counterattack. After playing a pick-and-roll with Howard, he paused and leaned on Dior behind him, and then threw it directly to the basket. Howard was blocked by Paul. After jumping and barely getting the basketball, there was no way to attack directly. After landing, he was double-teamed by three people, waving his arms back and forth, and Paul fell to the ground covering his face.

"Di!"

The referee decisively whistled for a foul, and Howard didn't argue. He threw his arm to Paul's face, and he felt it.To put it bluntly, the referee didn't call him a malicious foul because it was the home of the Magic.

Before Howard had time to rejoice, he was replaced by Brian Hill. He had already committed two fouls!

Paul sent Howard off with his own face, and the balance of the game was instantly broken.A team that is relatively "poor offensive" must have a dismal result after losing the most reliable backbone on the defensive end, not to mention that their opponent is the Eagles, which is second only to the Suns in offensive power in the league!

The defensive efficiency of Turkoglu and Nelson, who seem to be pretty good, is based on Howard behind them. Without Howard behind them, they are completely colanders.

Bynum, who is only 18 years old, may have great potential, but he really can't support the Magic's penalty zone defense alone.

The Eagles took the opportunity to play a wave of 12:3 attacks. At the end of the first quarter, they overtook the score! (22:31)

The 9-point difference is not enough to make people despair. Hill is even more helpless because the team lost control of both offense and defense without Howard, and was chased by the Eagles!

Such adversity made Brian Hill a little worried about gains and losses.He was afraid that Ke Yan would play "blitzkrieg" and further widen the point difference; he was also afraid that Howard would accidentally catch another foul and fall completely passive.

Unknowingly, the title "Earl of Lightning" has gradually formed a deterrent to the opponent, which is really beyond Ke Yan's expectations.

After hesitating for a while, Hill decided to let Howard go on the field directly and lead the team to chase points. However, before going on the field, Hill repeatedly told Howard to control his fouls, let some balls go when they should, and stay on the field, which is more important than anything else!

If these words are said to the old fritters, they can know how to measure, but Howard is still a 21-year-old kid who laughs and laughs all day long!

On Ke Yan's side, there really wasn't any "blitzkrieg".The team has taken the absolute initiative, and the advantage is obvious. It is not myself who needs to make changes, but Brian Hill on the opposite side.At this time, Ke Yan will not disturb the rhythm of his own people, which is harmful but not beneficial.

Howard came on the stage and led the Magic's bench lineup against the Eagles' bench. The game entered a situation of "I don't know much about offense, but you don't want to understand it either."Howard blocked the offense of David Lee and Kittles, but in the face of the Eagles' attack, it was difficult to rely on his own ability to open the situation. The offenses of the two sides continued to strike iron, but the situation was obviously more favorable for the Eagles.

Halfway through the second quarter, Ke Yan replaced Paul, Joe Johnson, Josh Smith, and Diaw, leaving David Lee on the court. The players on the court were more fit for the Magic.

With the support of Paul and Dior, two passing masters, David Lee finally didn't need to single-handedly play Howard with the ball, and he was frustrated repeatedly.And Ke Yan kept David Lee on the court for a very clear purpose, which is to make a fuss about Howard.

As long as Howard commits the third foul and takes a rest, the Magic will most likely plummet!

It is a lucky thing to have Howard, but hoping that Howard can solve all the problems on the defensive end, resulting in too much dependence, this is the beginning of misfortune. "The deterrent force of nuclear weapons is on the launch pad", this is the truth.You can't resolve all disputes by dropping nuclear weapons.

The Magic's perimeter lineup couldn't protect Howard very well. Looking back, Josh Smith, who didn't perform well on the offensive end, became the most eye-catching person in the Eagles on the defensive end.Josh Smith has done a good job whether it is defending Turkoglu or pinching Howard at the right time, and then assisting in the rotation. His hard work also opened the point difference to 17 points for the Eagles in the half game. contribution!

At halftime, the Magic trailed by 46 points 63:17 and fell into a great passivity!

The only good news is that Howard did not foul and survived the foul crisis in the first half safely!

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Magic re-introduced the "Bynum + Howard" twin-tower tactics that worked well in the first quarter, hoping to achieve the effect of the first quarter.

But obviously, Hill somewhat overestimated the team's offense, but also underestimated the speed of the Eagles' defensive counterattack.

Sitting on a 17-point lead, the Eagles will carry out the "confrontation" to the end.The Magic's offense was successful, and the Eagles quickly served the bottom line and switched offense and defense immediately.The Magic failed to make an offense, and the Eagles also quickly counterattacked with a long pass.

The result of this is a sudden increase in turnovers, and some players ran to the frontcourt, only to find that the backcourt was stolen by the Magic and the scene was blown.

But in this situation, the offensive and defensive rhythm of the game is very fast, and the weaknesses of the Magic team are beginning to be exposed. They can't outrun the Eagles!

The point difference was narrowed to 12 points, but Bynum only persisted for 4 minutes before he began to hold his knees and pant heavily, obviously exhausting himself.Turkoglu tried desperately to suppress the rhythm, but he obviously couldn't do it alone.

On the Hawks side, Posey was also a little uncomfortable with this running rhythm, and was replaced by Keyan.Kittles, who has been running and bombing with Kidd for several years, played instead of him, and hit a three-pointer when he came up, helping the team to reopen the point difference to 15 points.

You came and I went back and forth for several rounds, Bynum's footsteps became heavier and heavier, and finally he stayed in the backcourt and couldn't run.

It's really rare for NBA players to have this situation.Brian Hill took advantage of the dead ball to quickly replace him for a rest, and Howard's partner was replaced by the kite boy Tony Batty.

With Howard expanding his defense and restricting the Eagles' outside offense, Batty's ability to protect the frame was obviously insufficient. Josh Smith rushed to the basket and scored consecutive offenses, helping the team to open the point difference to more than 20 points. Since then, the suspense has been lost.

In the end, the Eagles beat the Magic 126:105 in an away game and won seven consecutive victories. Not only did they continue to be in the third position in the Eastern Conference, they even slowly approached the Miami Heat, which is second in the Eastern Conference.

全场比赛，保罗打出了不错的效率，22投11中，三分球8投3中，罚球4罚4中，砍下29分11助攻5篮板2抢断的华丽数据，差一点就直接30+10了。

Gorgeous personal data + excellent team record is also the best response to the outside world's doubts about his all-star voting suppression of all seniors!

Although Diaw, another Eagles hopeful to enter the All-Stars, was blown up by Howard on the defensive end, he performed quite well on the offensive end, scoring 12 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists.

As we all know, Dior's stats are not effective, but during this time, Dior's stats are getting better and better, often cutting 10+7+7 stats.

In addition, Joe Johnson feels average, "only" scored 18 points, Josh Smith 15 points, David Lee 13 points, all performed well.In the interview after the game, Ke Yan also praised the wonderful performance of the whole team!

After winning back to back, Ke Yan is in a good mood.After returning to the hotel, there were still surprises waiting for Ke Yan. The team general manager Larry Sander called and wanted to negotiate with Keyan about renewing his contract.

"I've only coached the team for half a year, and I haven't even completed my season goals~" Ke Yan didn't know what happened, but he was still here in Versailles.

Is the goal of 39 wins a big deal for the current Eagles?

Although the cooperation so far has been very pleasant, the renewal of the contract is not suitable for emotional matters!After all, no one knows what the future holds.

"The team is very satisfied with the results you have achieved, and not only us, but also the advertisers." Larry Sand said.

Just today, an advertiser from China visited the Eagles, met with Larry Sander, and expressed his willingness to place advertisements in the Phillips Center, provided that Ke Yan continues to coach the Eagles in the future.

The reason why China's advertisers are willing to come to the Phillips Center to place advertisements is not necessarily because they want to open up the local market in Atlanta. Their more purpose should be to value the increase in the Eagles' broadcast share on CCTV.As long as CCTV gives the Eagles enough broadcasts, then their own products are equivalent to advertising on CCTV, which is much cheaper than paying advertising fees directly to CCTV!

Moreover, the title of "NBA Official Designated Partner" can also be used during product promotion, which is even more impressive!

After all, it's about money.Knowing what happened, Ke Yan scratched his chin, still hesitating.

His commercial value is getting higher and higher. No matter which team he coaches, the team can get a lot of attention in China and make a lot of profits in the market.In comparison, the Eagles respected him enough and gave him sufficient authority to build the team. From this perspective, Ke Yan would rather let Anthony Ressler make money than for anything else, because he has vision and is a corporal. !

But, the amount of contract renewal is difficult to determine!

When Ke Yan signed with the Eagles, he only signed for two years, and his annual salary was only 150 million US dollars, basically the lowest paid head coach in the NBA.

His purpose is actually very simple. The immediate money is not important, but the long-term money situation is important.

If you lead the team to achieve results, you don't have to worry about the Eagles not offering yourself a big contract.Since the start of the game, the state of the Eagles has also confirmed that Ke Yan has made a correct decision. He is sure that after leading the team to finish this score and "tripling" the Eagles' score, the Eagles will offer themselves a " Triple" salary.

The salary of 450 million to 500 million is above the middle level among NBA coaches.

But now, it's only half a season, it seems too early!

Moreover, the current record of the Eagles seems to be conservative at three times, and they can fight at four times. . . . . . .

If, just in case, if he leads the Eagles to 50 wins. . . . . .Larry Sander is also well aware of Ke Yan's thoughts.However, Ke Yan's talent selection and team leadership are top-notch, coupled with his own box office and the blessing of advertisers, Anthony Ressler decided to meet his big contract needs in advance, and quoted 4 million for 2000 years contract.

Considering Ke Yan's age, qualifications, and actual performance, this salary is really a face-saving one.

"Well, Larry. We'll wait until the end of the season to discuss the contract, but I can promise you that if there are no unexpected circumstances, I will still stay with the Eagles." Ke Yan thought for a while and decided to give it a go, " Don't worry, the team's core lineup and coaching staff were built by me, and I have no reason to abandon them, right?"

Write yourself in the credit book again!Larry Sand complained.

"I respect your opinion, but the advertisers side..." Larry Sand asked.

"Tomorrow, I have time to meet them and explain my attitude." Ke Yan said.

He has done this at most.No matter what, you can't help Americans cheat their own country's companies with money, right?
