basketball scientist

He casually opened Ke Yan's bedside note, flipped through a few pages, and immediately closed it.

For her, it is a heavenly book!

This is not surprising, Ke Yan is a serious academic coach, and he has his own way of researching and rehearsing tactics.Don't mention her, the stuff in the belly of many coaches in the NBA may not be comparable to what is recorded and deduced in this notebook.

Huo Qingshu got out of bed and continued to look at Ke Yan's room. Apart from being a little messy, everything else was fine.

On the desk, there are various printed scout reports and player information.Among them, several were specially labeled.The top row is Garnett, followed by Gasol, West, Chandler, and Iguodala. . . . . .Among them, Garnett's information has the most remark information. It is obvious that Ke Yan is extremely concerned about the wolf king!

Looking at Ke Yan's bedroom, one can feel Ke Yan's hard work in his daily work, or the word "hard work" is not appropriate, because Ke Yan enjoys it.

There was a knock on the door, and Ke Yan's voice came in: "Qing Shu, are you awake?"

"En!" Huo Qingshu responded, and then Ke Yan opened the door and walked in, holding toiletries and a change of clothes in his hand, and handed them to Huo Qingshu.

"Thank you last night." Although Ke Yan violated the woman's will and took him home without his consent, Huo Qingshu had to admit that his actions were the best protection for him.

After all the fun, I still can't drink so much wine!

Ke Yan nodded, and readily accepted Huo Qingshu's thanks, "Wash up and come out for breakfast."

After pulling the shopping bag, there were actually women's underwear in it. Huo Qingshu blushed and pushed Ke Yan out of the bedroom before entering the bathroom: "I don't want to eat."

"How did he know my size?" Although they were all conservative styles, Huo Qingshu couldn't help scolding Ke Yan in his heart as a "dog!"

While I was drunk, I must have touched it a lot!

Ke Yan had no time to worry about Huo Qingshu's speculation about himself.Just now, he got bad news. Josh Smith was severely fined by the league with "suspended for two games and fined $[-]" for a malicious foul against the Cavaliers!

There will be "beheading" malicious fouls every season in the league, and there has never been such a punishment.When the official penalty announcement came out, Eagles fans immediately began to complain crazily.

"It's only suspended for two games, it's too light! Assassinating the emperor, this is a serious crime against the nine clans!"

"LeBron James is David Stern's own son!"

"The same game! Varejao didn't punish Paul for his action? It's really worthy of the famous double standard!"

"Godfather loves me again.JPG"

Soon, more and more fans joined the ranks of complaining.Fans are not blind. Since entering the league, everyone can see the "whistle" care that James has received in the past few years, and it has become more and more excessive. Therefore, the "Jianhei" group has also grown stronger, and there have been "Zhan Huang is in trouble, Likes from all directions".Many fans have a lot of opinions on this wave of naked bias in the league, and they criticize the league's behavior of protecting the calf.

But, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, such a serious punishment was imposed on the second home team of Huaxia fans. Obviously, this is a deliberate decision by the league, and it is determined to beat the Eagles and Ke Yan.

Ke Yan has his own Chinese market. Since he took charge of the Eagles, he has always been a representative of "offensive play", which coincides with Stern's policy of "encouraging offense". Pet".

But no matter how many buffs you have stacked on your body, "being an enemy of James" is unacceptable, not to mention the malicious fouls that go to others. The league is obviously using Josh Smith as a model, killing chickens for monkeys to see!

The Eagles filed a complaint immediately, even if they knew it was useless, they had to put on a gesture of "strive for justice".This is not just for Josh Smith, but for other opponents as well.

The league needs to protect James, and the Eagles also need to protect Paul!Although Josh Smith’s action was not instigated by Ke Yan, Ke Yan hopes that there will be such a villain in the team, who will show the attitude of the team, "If you dare to touch my core, I will cripple your boss", I will not follow you Speaking of "the wrong has its head and the debt has its owner", if Bo Wen dares to stretch his foot, I will kill Duncan!It's not malicious to Duncan, but a deterrent to the people behind Bowen!

At the same time, under Ke Yan's strong request, the team paid a fine of [-] yuan for Josh Smith.

Ke Yan has not yet renewed his contract. As long as the demands are not too excessive, the team will try their best to satisfy him.

. . . . . .

On January 1, after staying in Atlanta for four days, Ke Yan led the team to Toronto to challenge the Raptors.

This game was originally a "welfare bureau" for the Eagles during the Spring Festival. The Raptors, which are weak and have obvious lineup defects, obviously do not have the strength to compete with the Eagles. It can even be said that apart from the position of power forward, the Eagles Other positions are fully dominant.

However, this game in the league made Ke Yan realize what it means to be "home is like an away game, and an away game is like a graveyard". In the whole game, they were called 38 fouls, and the starting center Milicic, who replaced Josh Smith, played three quarters. Sent off.The Raptors got a lot of free throw opportunities, getting to the line 48 times.

European players such as Calderon and Garbajosa do not comment on their strength, but their basic skills are really good, and their free throws are really stable.The Raptors team made 48 of 43 free throws, abruptly holding the Eagles at the free throw line.

The referee pulled a deflected frame for three and a half quarters, and the Eagles were almost unable to hold on. Fortunately, David Lee and Kittles on the team's bench stepped forward to help the team cling to the score without letting the Raptors The Dragons opened the point difference to double digits.

In the second half of the fourth quarter, the referee's conscience found out that the Hawks only felt that "hardship is rewarding", and when Paul and Joe Johnson broke into the inside and heard the whistle sounded, they felt that the air was much sweeter!

The team worked hard in the last half of the quarter and played a wave of 19:7 attacks, reversing the game.

97:105, the Eagles captured the dragon away and won three consecutive victories. (32-15)

In this game, Paul continued to play steadily, scoring 20 points, 8 assists and 3 steals. Joe Johnson also had 19 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists. David Lee came off the bench and scored 14 points and 9 rebounds. The Eagles won this game as the "Raiders".

After the game, Ke Yan did not speak out again on the referee's whistleblowing issue, but used the focus of the interview to praise the players in the team.

"I like the performance of Chris. As a rookie, it is not easy to maintain a stable performance and continue to improve in a long season. He is like Tim Duncan, and his performance is consistent. I like it very much. A class of players. During the rebuilding process of the Eagles, I am also very proud to be able to quickly find such a core."

After getting the All-Star starter, Ke Yan next hopes to help Paul get a place in the best team.

Compared with the "All-Star starter", this is a little easier, because the candidates participating in the selection are more professional, and relatively speaking, they are more dry.

However, as long as people come to select, there must be "jianghu". It needs publicity and momentum to make more people pay attention to Paul's performance.

The league also has an unspoken rule that no regrets will be left for veterans when the scores are similar.Therefore, when young players and veterans are similar in all aspects, the impression points of old players will often play a greater role.

Of course, the most important thing is the team's achievements. For example, leading the team to 50 wins is a good gimmick.

Ke Yan appointed Paul as the core of the team, and the league is also "helping him".For example, let the Eagles have only one Paul and one All-Star, so that Paul's "single-core leadership" will be more convincing.

The All-Star team competed for the position of the backup center. The league gave the seat to Ben Wallace, and Dior was rarely selected.

In this regard, Dior had a hunch and was not too sad.

After all, he is a "crazy nut", and, in the direct dialogue between Dior and Daben, Daben can obviously suppress Dior, and his impression points are full.

In addition to Big Ben, Rasheed Wallace and Billups were selected to the All-Star team without accident, and "Mask Man" Hamilton became the victim of the butterfly effect caused by Ke Yan and failed to enter the list of substitutes.

Other Eastern bench players include Carter, Arenas, Devin Wade, Paul Pierce, Chris Bosh.

Among the Eagles, only Paul needs to play in the All-Star Game, and Josh Smith (slam dunk contest, rookie game), Kittles (three-pointer contest), David Lee ( Rookie Competition), Paul himself also has to participate in the Skills Challenge.The Eagles' uniforms also have a sense of presence in the All-Star Game.

Ke Yan doesn't pay much attention to the All-Star Game, but he is also willing to let the players work harder for these honors. He even "made suggestions" for Josh Smith to win the slam dunk champion, and put forward the idea of ​​"sit dunk".

"Sit buckle?" Josh Smith became energetic when he heard it. This design seems quite interesting.

In fact, for these "birds and beasts" in the NBA, the difficulty of participating in the dunk contest is not the difficulty, but the creativity.Later, in the slam dunk contest for many years, "leap" became the main theme. At first, the little potato leaped over the old potato, and then Gerald Green leaped over the gambling table, and "Kryptonite" Nate Robinson leaped over "Superman" Howard. Sometimes, it still has gold content.In the back, Griffin leaped over the "front of the car", and Jeremy Evans leaped over the oil painting, which became more and more boring. . . . . .

It wasn't until LaVine appeared that the dunk contest was revived.And the peak duel between him and Gordon forced the opponent to become the strongest dunker in history. Gordon's dunk, in Ke Yan's heart, is the first dunk in the history of the dunk contest!When discussing tactics, Ke Yan said that there would be no repetition for an hour, but when discussing the technical essentials of dunking, Ke Yan's eyes went dark, and he could only explain the actions in his memory in detail.

"..." Scratching his head, Josh Smith only felt that this movement was so difficult that it would explode!

But if it can be done, it will definitely be a perfect slam dunk!It can even become a classic picture in the history of the slam dunk contest together with Jordan's free throw line jump and Carter's windmill.

"Practice is fine, pay more attention to safety!" Ke Yan warned before leaving the training hall.

. . . . . .

In the last two games before the All-Star break, the Eagles were in poor form and lost to the Celtics and Miami Heat successively, suffering a losing streak. (32-17)

Despite this, the overall winning percentage is still the best record of the Eagles in more than 20 years, and it is based on the fact that they just took the worst record in history last season, and quickly completed the reconstruction and came to the current position. Dissatisfied with him, he still called him "the core of team building" on the forum.

It's okay to have a discerning eye in the draft and find treasures in the free agent market. In the transaction with other teams, the Eagles seem to "rob" the Rockets.Due to injuries, the Rockets' record plummeted and fell directly to the No.13 position in the Western Conference. The draft pick that was originally evaluated as a "lotter edge" in the transaction may now enter the top ten or even the top eight picks. This makes the Eagles excited from top to bottom.

Fans even created the stalk of "outsourcing bad business" to praise the team for this wave of operations.

The rave reviews made Larry Sander see the hope of competing for the "best manager". When the players either went to Houston to participate in the All-Star Weekend, or went home to enjoy the weekend, Larry Sander was still working hard to find a way to deal with it. Juwan Howard's rubbish contract, give yourself extra points.

It is not easy to deal with this contract, because after Howard came to the Eagles, the market went down.Originally in the Rockets, he was at least an important substitute, averaging 26 minutes per game. It is more appropriate to use the term "high salary and low ability" to evaluate.When he came to the Eagles, he averaged 6 minutes per game, and his starting pick was even after Hayes, a complete garbage contract.

In the league, there are usually three ways to deal with junk contracts. One is to trade them with draft picks/potential stocks, just like the Rockets cleared Juwan Howard to the Eagles; "Expiring contracts", the transaction value will increase; the third is the exchange of junk contracts, everyone can change their luck, and waste can be used, just "Hello, I, Hello, everyone", can't be used well, anyway, no one loses.

Ke Yan is planning to save up chips to make a big deal, and it is impossible to sacrifice the potential stocks and draft picks in the team to clear Howard, and Howard's remaining three and a half years of garbage contracts have also blocked the second way.The only option for the Eagles is to talk to other teams about "garbage replacement" and try their luck.

Previously, the Blazers proposed to trade Juwan Howard with Ruben Patterson, which is actually a good idea. Patterson can also strengthen the team's relatively weak flanks.However, considering the atmosphere of the team, Ke Yan did not agree.Larry Sand had to consider other candidates.

What is the most efficient way to find junk contracts in the NBA?Open the roster of the New York Knicks, at least half of the players in it are "salary > strength"!

Larry Sander did the same, and soon found a player who matched Juwan Howard in all aspects.

Jerome James!The "inside pillar" of the dark horse Supersonics last season, relying on the performance of the contract year, Jerome James cheated a 5-year 3000 million contract from the Knicks, and then this season began to perform badly, becoming a "sweet player". Donut Boy", who eats donuts every day, and his figure is also facing the direction of donuts.

He averaged 9 minutes per game, 3 points, 2 rebounds and 2 fouls. He was a mess. Isaiah Thomas and Larry Brown didn't bother to activate him, and put him on the trading market in the first year of the contract.

Compared with Juwan Howard's contract, Jerome James' contract is one year longer, and the "legacy" is deeper. The advantage is that he is slightly younger, less than 31 years old, and he is the most precious inside blue-collar in the league. Power is still good.

Before calling Isaiah Thomas, Larry Sand told Ke Yan about his trading plans as usual and asked his opinion.

I mainly want to ask Ke Yan if he has the confidence to activate Jerome James. If Ke Yan also completely treats him as a drinking fountain, then it is better not to trade!At least Howard's contract is still one year short, and the old guy has a good personality, smooth inside and tough outside.

"Jerome James..." Ke Yan took a deep breath and rubbed his temples.

"Waste utilization" is like this. If you give someone a "junk contract", they will definitely not give you any good goods. ,

"To be sure, he is also a player with high salary and low ability. But at least he has confrontation and stature. And in terms of transaction value, he is now at the lowest point, and he may rise slightly in the future, while Juwan Howard can only It keeps falling." Larry Sand analyzed.

In terms of type, the Eagles have David Lee, who can almost completely "cover" Howard, and Jerome James is used as a meat shield. The Eagles do not have such a player. When they are against the Heat, they will send him up as a wave of cannon fodder , it should be able to consume 5% of O'Neill's physical strength, right?

Use it if it is suitable, and promote Hayes to be the fifth insider if it is not suitable. Keyan doesn't have much opinion.And what Larry Sander said makes sense. According to market feedback, Jerome James still has at least a 1% chance of appreciation, and the old Juwan Howard can only continue to depreciate!

Ke Yan didn't have much opinion on the deal. Larry Sander immediately contacted Isaiah Thomas. After hearing the proposal, the other party hurriedly agreed, for fear that Larry Sander would go back on his word.

There are two types of general managers in the league, one is like Larry Sander, who wants to do his job well; the other is like Kupchak and Isaiah Thomas, who want to keep his position and rights first.Thomas spent a lot of money in the summer and signed Jerome James with a high salary. The opponent behaved in a mess and slapped Thomas in the face abruptly.Send him out early, and others will forget his mistake.

As for Juwan Howard, what does the Magic's random contract have to do with me, Isaiah Thomas?
