Chapter 175 The end of the regular season, the first round against the Cavaliers

Lost to the Pistons in a "full effort" game, the Eagles did not have any rest time, and returned to Atlanta that night to prepare for back-to-back games against the Hornets.

In the draft at the beginning of the season, the Hornets may be the most embarrassing team. Among the "North Carolina Four Young Men", Marvin Williams, who is the most optimistic about his potential, was originally one of the candidates for the No. [-] pick. He was predicted to be selected by the Eagles with the second overall pick. As a result, the Bucks, Eagles, and Jazz in the top three were not one. Instead, they snatched Paul and Deron, who were the key trials of the Hornets, and left the more popular Marvin Williams to them.

Although the draft pick has been lowered, Marvin Williams has been cultivated more carefully from the Eagles, where the "swingers" gathered together, to the Hornets, who are waiting to be rebuilt. In his rookie season, he averaged 14 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks per game. Still worthy of his draft pick.

It's just that, while Bogou helped the Bucks stabilize the penalty area, it also provided a higher-level offense. Paul led the Eagles to take off directly. Deron secured the second rookie of the year. The sense of presence on the court is much weaker. He does not have a stable and efficient scoring method and belongs to the "comprehensive rather than omnipotent" type.Such a player is suitable as a qualified starter, but you force him to be cultivated as a core player, embarrassing him and torturing you.

Thanks to Marvin Williams' age advantage and good data, Hornets fans are quite satisfied with him. The team aims to rebuild this season, and the results don't matter, just train the potential rookies in the team.

Teacher Lao went to Detroit and fought a whole game with high intensity and played an overtime game. The Eagles can be said to be exhausted.In this regard, Ke Yan made a rotation arrangement for this game. Paul, Posey and Josh Smith, who had consumed too much in the previous game, were all excluded from the roster. The Eagles' starting lineup changed to Lucas III, Joe Johnson, Kittles, Diaw, Milicic.

Paul took turns to rest, and House was still put on the bench, which made him a little unhappy.The explanation given by Ke Yan is to "maintain the normal rotation of the team as much as possible, and hope that House and David Lee will maintain the firepower of the team's bench lineup."

Ke Yan tried his best to ensure the team's regular rotation is the rotation style that many coaches in later generations will adopt. Although House is somewhat unacceptable on the psychological level, when it is implemented in the game, the effect of this adjustment is not bad.

The three main players were rotated, and Ke Yan arranged for Lucas III, Udoka, and Hayes to enter the rotation lineup. After the three drinking fountain players appeared on the field, their performance was basically qualified, at least slightly better than those of other teams' Wannian drinking fountains. Be more reliable.

The Eagles have a rotating lineup and average physical strength; the Hornets are weak and have no desires.

In the last minute, the score was 1:90, and the Eagles led by 88 points.

At the critical moment, Joe Johnson showed his true qualities as a hero. First, Dale Davis made a mid-range shot in the singles, and then in the next round, he attracted the defense and assisted Milicic to score a layup from close range, helping the team win the game with difficulty.

In the whole game, Joe Johnson scored 25 points and 6 assists, playing back to back, without Paul's support, Joe Johnson proved his ability to lead the team.

Winning the 52nd game of the next season, the Eagles' performance has quadrupled compared to last season. Not to mention the fans, even Ke Yan himself did not expect it.

After the game, Eagles fans on the sidelines sang "The Song of Ke Yan" to thank Ke Yan. Some female fans on the sidelines even put on the mask of "Wang Lifan", which made Ke Yan, who has always been relatively calm, couldn't help laughing.

In the post-match interview, the reporters also mentioned Ke Yan's smile.

"I don't know whose idea it is, but it really amuses me," Ke Yan said.

"Will Never mind?"

"Never

mind~" Ke Yan said.

"Never

Mind" or "Nevermind", the same pronunciation, but the opposite meaning.

The next day, Wang Lifan knew this "bad joke", just like when she was in elementary school, her classmates used the name "Never" to tease her.

Even in medical school, there are many naive "sand sculptures"~

. . . . . .

On April 4, the Eagles beat the Bobcats again at home. (4-53)

Counting the rotation rest on April 4st, Paul rested for four days at a stretch and was full of energy.In this game, he was full of firepower and scored a large double-double of 1 points and 30 assists, which added a bargaining chip for himself to hit the best team.

Strictly speaking, in addition to suffering a big loss in "qualifications", Paul's current performance is not hitting the best team, but "guaranteeing three and competing for two."Whether it is the personal data of 21.5 points, 9 assists and 2 steals per game, or the team performance of the Eagles, which ranks third in the Eastern Conference and has quadrupled from last season, it is beyond reproach.

In addition to Kobe, who played a personal offensive performance against the sky, and Nash, who led the lack of the Suns and still ranked second in the West without Stoudemire, Paul has obvious advantages over other guard players.

Billups and Wade's team performance is better, but their personal data is slightly worse than Paul's, and the core effect in the team is not as obvious as Paul; Arenas and Iverson have gorgeous personal data, but their team record is worse than Paul's too much!

Strictly speaking, even compared with Nash and Kobe, Paul is not completely without chance.If Paul is in a traffic brigade like the New York Knicks, with the support of the New York media behind him, the result is really hard to say!

This also reflects Duncan's awesomeness from the side, the small ball market, double first team in the rookie season, leading the team to the championship in the second year, an absolute BUG!

Wake Forest makes all these bugs!

4月6日,老鹰队客场108比114输给了热火队。(53:25)

Before this game, the Eagles were two games behind the Heat. Considering that the record of the matchup between the two teams is that the Heat are dominant, it is basically equal to three games behind the Heat. It is only theoretically possible to catch up with the opponent. .

In this game, as long as the Heat win, they will be able to lock in the second place in the East, and they can guarantee the team's home court advantage before the Eastern Conference Finals.For the sake of the division championship, and also to teach the young Eagles a lesson, the Heat's three armies worked hard. Even O'Neal, who had been rested for two games, chose to come back and fight with the Eagles!

Peterson's joining has significantly improved the Heat. With the addition of a wing swingman who is both offensive and defensive, the Heat's lineup has been balanced a lot, and the combat effectiveness has improved significantly. It is more like the Heat that can only win the championship.

In the last half minute, the Eagles trailed by three points, Paul scored Joe Johnson, and the latter missed a shot.

Looking back, Wade made a key three-pointer, opening the point difference to 6 points, ending the suspense of the game.

After losing this game, the Eagles fell behind the Heat by three games. In addition, they were at a disadvantage in the regular season matchup record, and basically lost the possibility of counterattacking the Heat.

The ranking is fixed at fourth in the East, and the team's opponent in the first round of the playoffs has also been finalized as the Cleveland Cavaliers. Ke Yan began to rest his main players in the last four games of the season to prepare for the playoffs.

In the last four games, the Eagles had two wins and two losses, ending the regular season.

In Ke Yan's first season in charge of the Eagles, the Eagles' regular season record was fixed at 55 wins and 27 losses, more than two-thirds!This is an unexpected result.

Thanks to the great improvement he has made in leading the Eagles, Ke Yan won the "best coach" this season with a good chance. This will also be Ke Yan's first solid personal honor in the NBA.

The five to eight teams in the East are: Cavaliers, Wizards, Pacers, Bucks.

The Bulls and the Bucks have the same results, both are 40 wins and 42 losses, but the relationship between victory and defeat suffers, becoming the most unlucky team.

The personal data of the regular season was announced, and Kobe won the scoring title with 35.5 points. This is the highest scoring champion after Jordan retired.

Kobe's personal offensive performance this season can be called against the sky. He almost dragged the Lakers into the playoffs by himself. Not surprisingly, he can also enter the season for a while.

For Kobe, it is a pity that the peak of personal ability and the peak of the team do not coincide, which makes him hopeless in the MVP competition.This is why many people in later generations feel sorry for Kobe. He has only one MVP.

Garnett won the rebounding title with an average of 12.7 rebounds per game.Kobe at least dragged the Lakers to the playoffs, and Garnett was a little sad.His all-around performance can't save the frozen three-foot Timberwolves.

Garnett himself has rumors of leaving the Timberwolves, including the Lakers and Suns are his suitors.In particular, the proposal of "joining forces with Kobe" is highly anticipated.

On the contrary, the ambitious Eagles, under the control of Keyan, have not yet had anything to do with Garnett.

With 12.3 assists, Nash won the assists title again. In terms of pass threat, Nash is one level ahead of other point guards in the league.

With Joe Johnson and Richardson leaving the team and Stoudemire being reimbursed for the season, Nash led the Suns to a record of 57 wins and 25 losses.Winning the Pacific Division championship demonstrated his ability to lead the team, and he is also the most favorable contender for the MVP.

Gerald Wallace won the steals title with an average of 2.5 steals per game. Although the overall gold content of this award is mediocre, for the Bobcats, after all, it is the second personal honor in team history (the first is Okafor's Rookie of the Year), cause for celebration.

It is worth mentioning that Paul ranks second in both the assists list and the steals list.

The block leader belongs to Marcus Camby, a veteran defensive player in the league. If his defensive effect is as good as his own defensive data, the Nuggets will not be reduced to relying on the title of division champion to get third in the Western Conference.

The dust of the regular season has settled, and the media frantically complained about the rules of the league's "top three champions in the division".Although some teams have benefited from this regulation in the past, there is still a limit after all. How serious is the situation this season?

The "third" Nets in the East, with a record of 48 wins and 34 losses, are 7 wins behind the Eagles in the fourth place in the East, and their real results are only ranked fifth in the East; the "third" Nuggets in the West, with a record of 44 wins and 38 losses , 16 games behind the fourth-placed Mavericks in the Western Conference, and tied for seventh in the Western Conference in real terms!

The Mavericks' record of 60 wins and 22 losses and the second place in the Western Conference, because of this rule, was directly squeezed to the fourth place in the Western Conference. Not only did they have to fight against the Spurs in the second round, they even lost their home court advantage in the second round!

Don't blame Cuban for talking nonsense in front of the media!If this is Ke Yan, he can write a short composition to ridicule him!

Faced with a wave of doubts, the league is also discussing the rationality of the rule that the division champion locks the top three in the division.

There is no such thing as "the law of the ancestors is immutable", and the NBA must also adapt to new developments and new trends.The Mavericks and the Spurs should be their opponents in the Western Conference Finals!

. . . . . .

After years of making the playoffs again, Atlanta fans are very enthusiastic about the playoffs. Even if the average ticket price for the playoffs is three times that of the regular season, the tickets for G1 and G2 have already been snapped up by fans.

After deducting taxes and league commissions, Anthony Ressler earned more than $400 million in ticket fees alone, which does not include bulk broadcast fees, additional fees for advertisers, and so on.

Not surprisingly, after the first round, Anthony Ressler's net profit will definitely exceed 1000 million, and if the team can beat the Cavaliers and enter the second round, this figure will double!

The team, which has been losing money for many years, has turned losses into profits. It is no wonder that Anthony Ressler delegated 100% of the power to Keyan, did not ask anything about the team, and concentrated on watching the growth of the bank account at home.

There were five days off before the playoffs, and Ke Yan gave the team two days off. On the third day, recovery training was arranged, which was very low-intensity. At the same time, the team's 13-man roster for the playoffs was announced on this day.

PG: Paul, Eddie House, Lucas III

SG: Joe Johnson, Kittles, Christie, Udoka

SF: Posey

PF: Josh Smith, David Lee

C

: Diaw, Milicic, Jerome James

Chuck Hayes was left out of the playoff roster.In the regular season, Hayes didn't get any opportunities to perform. His offensive ability was too poor, and he didn't get many opportunities in the Eagles. He could only be a marginal player in any tactics.

But in training, Hayes is one of the harder ones.So if no one wants him in the summer free agent market, Ke Yan doesn't mind signing him back.

After all, there may be a lot of changes in the team lineup this summer, and one more "old man" will more or less stabilize it.

It wasn't until the 20th and 21st that the training of the Eagles gradually got on track, and some targeted tactical training was added. Even so, everyone's training was still very "happy", full of a relatively relaxed atmosphere.

In the 4 regular season matches, the Eagles beat the Cavaliers 3 times despite extremely unfavorable whistleblowing standards, and their strength advantage is very obvious.

Especially the "island tactics", for the natural restraint of the Cavaliers, whoever James defends will squat in the bottom corner.The others used the other half of the field to form a 4v4 in the area, with an obvious advantage.

Between the words, Ke Yan did not pay attention to the players of the Cavaliers except James, and bluntly said that this is also a 5V1 matchup. In fact, this is a way for him to relieve the pressure on the team.

No way, the Eagles are too young. In the main rotation, only Joe Johnson, James Posey, Kittles, and Eddie House have playoff experience.

On the other hand, the Cavaliers, in fact, have more game experience than the Eagles.Snow was the player who played in the finals with the 76ers. Big Z and Gooden played the playoffs with the Cavaliers and the Magic respectively. Larry Hughes was the Wizards who reached the second round last season. hero. . . . . .

The atmosphere of the playoffs is completely different from the regular season. Last season, Ke Yan was a little uncomfortable, let alone the players in the team!

At the end of the training, some fans were waiting for the players at the door, asking for autographs and taking photos.

Ke Yan is also sought after by fans.On the Internet, if you post and ask the Eagles who is the "core team builder", there must be more people who support Ke Yan than Paul!

"Mr. Earl, can we win the playoffs?" A young fan asked naively.

Monsieur Earl?His nickname is getting more and more!

"Of course, it's just LeBron!" Ke Yan said confidently.

. . . . . .

On the 21st, there were three games in the playoffs first. In a focus game, the defending champion Spurs defeated their old rival Lakers 98:87 and easily got off to a good start.

The point difference is not too big, but throughout the game, the Spurs have firmly grasped the initiative of the game and did not give the Lakers too many opportunities. It can be regarded as boiling frogs in warm water, and slowly consumed the Lakers to death.

Facing the Spurs' defensive system of Bowen's main defense and Duncan's replacement, Kobe made 29 shots in the game, hit 12 goals, made 9 of 9 free throws, scored 36 points, stable output, and average efficiency. The key is that he played very well. tired.

The Northwest Division champion Nuggets played against the Los Angeles Clippers. Camby, the best defensive player, failed to hold the Nuggets' penalty area. He was overwhelmed by Brand and Kaman, and finally lost 99:106.

The only game in the Eastern Conference was the Wizards led by Arenas defeated the Nets 101:96. Facing Kidd, Arenas scored 29 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists, suppressing Kidd.

Although the Nets won the third place in the East, everyone knows that the league has changed, and the former king of the East is no longer competitive.

Next, it's the Eagles' turn to play!
