Howard's deal for James alone started the first shot for the general managers of each team to negotiate a deal during the All-Star Weekend, and it also accelerated the process of trade negotiations for other teams. Each team did not want to fall behind in the arms race.

For this transaction, all parties have mixed opinions, and most of them have very different opinions.

If it is simply a garbage contract swap, Jerome James' five-year contract must be more troublesome than Juwan Howard's four-year contract; and the Eagles made two deals after the start of the season. Whether Sic or robbing the Rockets' draft picks is an extremely correct decision, the Eagles seem to have never lost money.

Eagles fans have unrealistic expectations for Keyan, who can add value to him, just like the Celtics/Jazz fans of later generations, because of Angie, they can’t wait to empty out the opponent’s family in every transaction... ………

How easy!

The procedures for Jerome James to join the team have been completed, but he has not met Ke Yan.At this moment, Ke Yan was not in Atlanta, but came to Los Angeles during the All-Star Weekend to visit Wang Lifan, and it was a very high-profile visit.

After receiving Wang Lifan, reporters from Los Angeles tabloids followed them not far away, and Ke Yan didn't stop them. As long as they didn't come to disturb, Ke Yan and Wang Lifan also enjoyed the two-person world indifferently.

In the evening, the two came to the carnival where they met for the first time, entered the tent where they had known each other together, and played a game of smashing plates.

"Have you noticed that there are very few people who are alone in the carnival?" Wang Lifan joked cheerfully. The first time the two met, Wang Lifan and Hebe met Ke Yan who was alone.

"So it's not just the carnival. In Atlanta, I rarely even go to supermarkets and restaurants." Ke Yan said.

"Huh?" Wang Lifan was a little puzzled.

"The breath of life is very strong, it will touch the scene, and it is easy to have negative emotions." Ke Yan complained.

Wang Lifan immediately rolled his eyes: "You are not so withdrawn, are you?"

"Go to my most frequent one, it seems to be Abby. Help me take care of Oscar." Ke Yan said.

"Haha!" Wang Lifan laughed, "Then you can be friends with Abby.~"

No matter what, Wang Lifan will not be jealous of Abby, he is only 11 years old!

After getting out of the tent, the two of them went to eat Singapore's special red bean ice again. After eating two bites, he received a call from Huo Qingshu, wanting to watch the football at his house.

"I'm in Los Angeles!" Ke Yan said, and immediately made Huo Qingshu think that he had made a big mistake, and immediately hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Lifan asked curiously, "Girl?"

"A little girl who just gave birth! During the Spring Festival, I went to a party in their school, and then I met." Ke Yan explained.

"It seems that your life in Atlanta is quite colorful!" Wang Lifan was obviously a little concerned.

Ke Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I can show you the text messages I received during the Chinese New Year. Among the girls, you and Hebe are the only ones who sent me text messages."

"No worries, you have nothing to worry about." Wang Lifan said.

After being in love for so long, Wang Lifan knew that Ke Yan still prefers feminine girls, the 18-year-old Little Green Tea, who is not threatening.

. . . . . .

Ke Yan and Wang Lifan were in high-profile love in Los Angeles, and Phil Jackson scolded her mother angrily.As long as Ke Yan's name is combined with Los Angeles, Lakers fans will immediately jump out to "remember" Ke Yan and question Phil Jackson, not to mention that now Ke Yan leads the team and is flourishing.

Who told you that as a "famous coach" leading the team, your performance is not as good as that of Ke Yan?

This is also one of the reasons why Ke Yan didn't care about the reporter, "return him with the same way", Phil Jackson ruined his playoffs, and he disgusted him by the way.

That is to say, no media reporters came to interview him, otherwise, he would have to say a few weird words to run the other party off.

As for the Eagles, there was no doubt that Ke Yan had secretly communicated with the Lakers.Although Ke Yan has not renewed his contract with the Eagles, he still has one year left on his contract!The unspoken rules of the league do not allow teams to maliciously poach head coaches from each other.

Larry Sander called Keyan, but instead made a bold idea: "You said you want small change for the whole money, but the whole money wouldn't be Kobe?"

"???"

The more Larry Sand thought about it, the more likely it was!

First, the Lakers have a poor record, and the lineup lacks potential. There is no hope in the short term, which somewhat delays Kobe's peak period!

Second, after the separation of the OK team, although they have not yet won the championship, O'Neal's situation is obviously better than that of Kobe.

Third, the Lakers management keeps making random moves. Whether it's removing Ke Yan and using Phil Jackson, or exchanging the team's second scorer Butler for Kwakwame Brown, it's all random!further weakened the team.

With Kobe's temperament, it's not impossible to make a transfer!

"Why don't you talk?" Larry Sander asked.

"You dare to dream of Kobe, what else can I say?" Ke Yan asked back.

Only the Lakers have ever robbed other teams' leading stars. When has the Lakers' leading stars been poached by others?

Well, Kobe did say in 07: "Go buy a Bulls jersey!" Then Kupchak wanted to empty the Bulls!Kobe saw that the fucking change meant that he hadn't changed. I went to the Bulls and still led the team with a single core, and refused to leave!

The trade was cancelled, and the young Bulls, who reached the Eastern Conference semifinals last season, had no morale in the new season. They plummeted to the lottery zone and won the No. 1.2 pick with a [-]% probability. They got Derrick Rose and opened a new era. .Of course, this is all for later.

Switching to the Eagles, isn't it the same situation?

The situation could be even worse. If Kobe is kidnapped by Keyan to the Eagles, the Lakers management will be even more ashamed!

"I'm just thinking about it, let's forget it if I don't have a chance." Larry Sand shrugged, mainly because he never thought that he would be able to do such a big thing in his life!

After hanging up the phone, Ke Yan continued to complain about Larry Sander's unrealistic ideas.

Then I also had unrealistic ideas!

. . . . . .

Ke Yan had a good time in Los Angeles, and the All-Star Game was also held in Houston.In the Eagles team, Paul and Kittles participated in the skill contest and the three-point contest respectively, and they all failed.

And Josh Smith got Ke Yan's idea. First, he completed the operation of reflexive folding dunk and dunking two balls at the same time in the preliminaries. He joined Iguodala in the final, and the little potato Nate Robinson had no time to sacrifice the leaping old potato. He dunked and was suffocated in the preliminaries.

But in the finals, under stricter standards, Josh Smith finally came up with the killer move "sit dunk" and scored [-] points. While securing the slam dunk king, he also wrote his name into the history of the "slam dunk contest" Among them, it is as famous as Jordan and Carter.

With this dunk, Josh Smith was named the third-generation dunk king after Jordan and Carter by the media and fans.

Although in terms of coffee position, he is much worse than the first two, but in terms of "slam dunk" alone, he can really touch the edge of the two.After entering the league for two seasons, he won two consecutive slam dunk titles; contributed a LOGO-level dunk; the most important point, compared with other dunk kings, Josh Smith has a very strong dunk ability in actual combat!

Counting down, the only players in the league who can achieve these three points at the same time are Jordan, Carter, and Josh Smith!

In the post-match interview, Josh Smith expressed his gratitude to Ke Yan: "Kimi helped me complete my action design. When he proposed the idea of ​​sitting button, I still thought it was unbelievable, but it turned out that I Can do it!"

After being named and thanked by Josh Smith, Ke Yan also called Josh Smith the next day and advised him not to participate in the "slam dunk contest" in the future.

More often, the slam dunk contest is a stage for unknown dunkers to show themselves. Occasionally, stars will go up to play tickets, but the main body is still the fringe of the league.

Josh Smith already has the godhead of the "third-generation slam dunk king". One more slam dunk contest champion will not have a big impact on him. On the contrary, if he loses in the future, he will also be pulled down from the altar.

"Leaving a legend for future generations to look up to" is not a pleasure.

Ke Yan knew his strengths and weaknesses, and Josh Smith agreed after referring to Jordan and Carter's handling methods.

This group of players still trusts Ke Yan.

This year's All-Star Game can be regarded as one of the more exciting games played in recent years.

The Western All-Star team played around McGrady, and wanted to help McGrady win the FMVP at home. The team also led the way and went smoothly.

However, in the second half, Philip Sanders resorted to the combination of the Pistons trio + James + Wade, played a high-quality defense, and evened the 17-point difference in half a quarter.

In the last quarter of the game, the two sides entered the "real swords and guns" mode, and the western team had the upper hand and gradually established an advantage.Under adversity, James began to play, forcing the ball into the basket against multiple defenses.One of the balls was forcibly dunked against the defense of Nowitzki, Duncan, and McGrady, which reminded Ke Yan of the "Slam Dunk" in which Kaede Rukawa faced Xiangyang/Lingnan team, one-on-three dunks Yuzhu, Xiandao , flower-shaped dunk.

In the end, the Eastern All-Star team won the game. James, who scored 29 points, overwhelmed McGrady, who scored 36 points, and won the first AMVP of his career.

After the game, many Huaxia fans felt that James was out of line and robbed McGrady's AMVP of the home game.Ke Yan felt that there was nothing wrong with James.

No matter how entertaining it is, the All-Star Game is also a game. It is normal for teammates to help with the ball and focus on you as the main point of attack. What is the difference between moral kidnapping of opponents and match-fixing?And at the last moment of the game, the Western All-Stars also gave McGrady a ball. He didn't score the ball himself. Blame James?

This is also the reason why Ke Yan became more and more lazy to pay attention to the later All-Stars. With only the effect of the show, the lack of serious confrontation has completely become a show.

Competitive sports, the focus is to make the heart beat faster and the blood spurt, not just dazzling, otherwise, wouldn’t it be nice to watch street basketball and freestyle basketball?

After the All-Star Game, Keyan returned to Atlanta and continued to lead the team.

In addition to Howard's single-for-James deal, the Eagles did not make other deals, nor did they strengthen the team's flanks, which is a hidden danger for them.

It is necessary to ensure the results of this season, and at the same time do not want to sacrifice the bargaining chips of "changing change for whole money" in the future. The Eagles have very few active chips and are not attractive to other teams.We can only hope that Udoka and Christie can properly fill the vacancy.

Trying to trade Battier and Posey failed, Pat Riley set his sights on Peterson of the Raptors, and finally traded Kapono + 07 first-round pick for the swingman.

ESPN scored high for this deal, believing that both teams get what they need.The Raptors have obtained a potential draft pick in the draft year. At present, the probability of this draft pick is after the 25th pick. It's not impossible; and the Heat have strengthened the team's weakest small forward position, further strengthening its shortcomings.

Still the same sentence, the stage of the playoffs is not to compare whose strengths are longer, but whose weaknesses are not short!

Chatting in private, Hamblen is most optimistic about the Heat, while Hornacek and Snyder are optimistic about the Spurs.

"Why doesn't everyone mention the Mavericks?" Ke Yan put forward his own opinion.

"Nowitzki?" The three of them were stunned at the same time.

"I think the Mavericks rank first in the league in terms of hard power. If I were to coach, there would be about 60% chance of winning the championship." Ke Yan's rare arrogance!

Many people don't realize how strong the Mavericks are. To put it simply, this is a team that can reach the finals by relying on unlimited singles and the most basic pick-and-roll tactics, and suppress the Heat when the referee whistles the same scale. team of teams.

Compared with history, the Mavericks have more Mickey Moore, who is more suitable as Nowitzki's substitute than Van Horn; while the Heat's Posey was replaced by Peterson.One will ebb and flow, and the outcome is still unknown.

"He is a disciple of the old Nelson, and it is normal to prefer the Mavericks in his bones~" Hamblen then explained to Hornacek and Snyder.

"Then wait until the playoffs~"

. . . . . . .

In the first game of the season, the Eagles ushered in the fringe team in the Western Conference playoffs, the Utah Jazz.

Before the game, Hornacek took the initiative to say hello to his mentor Sloan. His dream is to succeed Sloan one day and take the head coach seat of the Jazz.

The confrontation between Paul and Deron is also the highlight of this game.

At the time of the draft, Paul, Deron, and Felton were hailed as the top three point guards in the 05 draft, but with Felton's relatively mediocre performance, Paul and Deron became the 05 duo.

From the beginning of the season, Paul has occupied the first place in the rookie list and has never been down, while Deron quickly entered the top three after a short adaptation period.The Eagles made a lot of money, but the Jazz didn't lose!

Although Paul has already led Deron by a lot, but the first round of the season confrontation between the two teams ended with Deron suppressing Paul.

Facing his "enemy of life", after the opening, Paul "strikes hard", reducing his possession of the ball, giving more possession of the ball to Joe Johnson and Dior to organize, and through more running without the ball Move to consume Deron, who has a larger weight base.

The ball was handed over to Joe Johnson, which also hit the pain points of the Jazz.The Jazz's starting shooting guard is Croatian white shooter Jirisek, who plays the same role as Hornacek in the Jazz, with the same shortcomings, average defense and poor athletic ability. He was beaten against Joe Johnson.

After so many years, Jerry Sloan's research and development of pick-and-roll tactics has indeed deepened a bit, but his employment habits are still "invariable", which also makes their flanks often suppressed by opponents, or even blown up.

Kirilenko plays a great role on the defensive end, but it is mainly reflected in the defense of the inside.If you let him defend against outside superstars alone, he can only defend McGrady, and no one else can.Because of the two eliminations of the Rockets, Huaxia fans like to brag about the strength of the Jazz. It is all nonsense that they have a strong perimeter defense.Not to mention that Kobe was abused once, Durant could score 47 points playing the Jazz in the second grade.

The defensive end was pierced by Joe Johnson. On the offensive end, Deron and Boozer's pick-and-roll coordination was not as proficient as it was later. Sometimes the two could cooperate well, and sometimes they could only fight on their own.Without tactical support, both of them are just ordinary stars, and they don't have the strength to carry the team's offense.

The Eagles played steadily and finally defeated the Jazz 107:96. While winning their first victory after the All-Star Game, they ended their two-game losing streak! (33-17)

In the whole game, Joe Johnson made 26 of 14 shots and scored 34 points, becoming the biggest contributor to the championship.

Paul, who gave up the ball and didn't fight hard with Deron, also had 16 points and 8 assists. Although the statistics have declined, the efficiency is very high. He made 12 of 6 shots and said, "I scored 50 with Joe Johnson. Point" is not ashamed.
