When the time came to August, Wang Lifan packed his bags and set off for Atlanta.Ke Yan originally planned to go to Sapporo to watch the World Championships and witness the historical moment when Wang Shipeng beat Slovenia with his own eyes. After thinking about it, he finally decided not to go and returned to Atlanta ahead of schedule.

On the first day when he came to the training hall, Ke Yan met Millsap, Barea, Anthony Parker and Stevens. After the summer league, Millsap and Barea directly stayed in the team for training, while Anthony Parker and Two Stevens players also came ahead of schedule to prepare for the new season.

The former needs to adapt to the NBA's three-point line, while the latter also works hard on three-pointers.Ke Yan gave him advice to practice hard in the 3D direction.Practice three-point shooting and defense well, which will help you get a big contract in the future.

For joining the Hawks, Millsap is very excited, on the one hand, because the newcomers selected by Ke Yan in the 05 draft are very good, on the other hand, he has the opportunity to learn from Garnett.

The first reason is very reliable, and the second reason. . . . . .Ke Yan wanted to ask, "Are you serious?"

"KG is a very strict person, especially when he is very angry, his language will be very excessive, you have to be mentally prepared." Ke Yan's face was a little playful, "The point is to observe by yourself, and then learn, don't ask him everything .”

"It's okay, I'm not afraid." Millsap has not yet realized the seriousness of the problem.

I'm afraid you will be scolded and cry!Ke Yan was laughed angrily by the stubborn Millsap. This is almost the end of the matter, and if it goes deeper, it becomes the head coach to provoke the relationship between the players.

After observing the training for a while, Keyan also got a feel for Millsap's current technical characteristics. Millsap, who is under the intensity of NBA confrontation, is one of the four wild field monsters, the "short rebounder". As a rookie, his confrontation can fully keep up with the intensity of the NBA, and his offensive touch is soft, especially grabbing The second attack after the rebound can steadily send the ball to the basket after the confrontation.

The weakness is that the height is only 203, and the speed is not dominant.Despite the good rhythm of the game, Millsap does not have the possibility of swinging to the 3 position.

Compared with David Lee last season, his immediate combat power is definitely not enough.But where the data can't reflect it, his role may be slightly greater than David Lee, which is also the trait the Eagles need.

A team that aspires to a championship needs someone to do the dirty work.

In addition, Millsap has a strong learning ability.In the previous life, Huaxia fans had a filter on the Rockets players. At first, they thought Landry was no worse than Millsap, but judging from the salaries earned by the two people in their careers, Landry earned less than a quarter of Millsap. Many, the gap is very obvious.Millsap also entered the league a year earlier than Landry, and there is no such thing as taking advantage of the times. After all, it is Millsap who is constantly improving his skills and polishing himself into a very versatile presence on the offensive end. Landry can only rely on impact to play, once the body falls, it will be Barbie Q.

After the training was over, Ke Yan walked out of the training hall and was stopped by a reporter from the Atlanta local media to ask questions.

"Kimi, the Eagles brought in Kevin Garnett in the summer. With the strength to compete for the championship, do you have the confidence to lead the team to compete for the championship?"

"I am excited about the arrival of KG. Our core lineup has a reasonable age structure and KG can lead this team. I think we can become the most powerful contender for the championship. In addition to KG, we have also introduced some Excellent lads, they will also contribute to our victory." In the third season of his coaching career, Ke Yan finally had a lineup capable of competing for the championship, and he was no longer low-key in interviews.

The reporter came with interest: "Do you think the Eagles are the strongest team in the Eastern Conference?"

"In terms of strength, this is indeed the case. But what kind of results can be achieved in a long season does not entirely depend on the strength of the team, and many factors will have an impact. Therefore, our whole team needs to do our best, and I will do it myself It requires the cooperation of all departments.”

"Anthony Parker created his own foundation in Europe and returned to the NBA. Will he be the starting player at the team's small forward position?"

"Of course. His shooting ability is a great addition to the Eagles' offense. With him embedded in our offensive system, I think we will be more threatening on the offensive end." Compared with Posey, Anthony Parker has a more accurate three-pointer. points, but it is definitely not as good on the defensive end, and Ke Yan's words basically express this meaning.

Whether he was ordered to take over the Lakers when he was in danger, or the Eagles who chose to rebuild from the trough, Ke Yan has fulfilled his promise to the fans, and even exceeded his mission.However, leading a weak team to the semi-finals and truly leading a strong team to compete for the championship are two different things. How to correctly handle the pressure of a championship team is the real test for Ke Yan.

The rumors about Kobe's trade gradually subsided. After the Eagles withdrew from the trade, the Lakers management had no way to get better bargaining chips. The trade proposal given by the Bulls was thrown into the trash before they finished talking. After the long talk between Jeri Buss and Kobe, Kobe officially issued a declaration to stay in the team.

"I always firmly believe that Mr. Jeri Buss can lead the Lakers to the right goal and return to Los Angeles with glory! To this end, I will do my best!"

That is, after Kobe issued a declaration to stay with the team, there were rumors of a trade between the Lakers and the Grizzlies, but the trade target was not Kobe's destined good friend Gasol, but Shane Battier, who was supposed to go to the Rockets.After reaching the playoffs for three consecutive seasons, they were sent 4:0 by the Suns, Mavericks, and Spurs respectively. The Grizzlies felt that the team needed more talents. 800 million is too extravagant for them to raise a 3D small forward without the ability to score independently. The Grizzlies plan to trade Battier, get potential rookies and draft picks, and build a team around Gasol and Mike Miller.

The NBA is not fighting and killing, it is the worldly way!If there is no Jerry West assisting his old club, Ke Yan would not believe it!

The trade rumors surrounding Kobe died down, and Iverson, another iconic figure of the 96 golden generation, also had a rift with his kingdom.Last season, Iverson averaged 32.5 points and 6.6 assists per game, but the 76ers missed the playoffs with the 76th record in the Eastern Conference. This happened between the 10ers and Iverson for [-] years. Finally have to face the reality of missing the playoffs.

In the past summer, Iverson expressed his dissatisfaction with the 76ers management several times in interviews, and he even said "I don't want to stay in the 76ers for one more minute", which finally made the 1ers management move towards him. "Killing the heart", he did not hesitate to affect the team's ticket sales, but also traded Iverson.Compared with Kobe's cards, Iverson's market is slightly worse. After all, his low efficiency and his own way of character have always been a headache for the 76ers' management. Rehabilitation".

Of course, Iverson is still a superstar in the league after all, including the Kings, Bulls, Grizzlies, and Nuggets, all of whom are still chasing the "answer."

On September 9, the Men's Basketball World Championships reached the semi-finals. Spain narrowly beat Argentina by 1 point, shattering the opponent's dream of defending the title, but it also changed the situation in the NBA next season.

In this bloody battle, Argentine core Manu Ginobili injured his left wrist and needed surgery. He is expected to be absent for two to three months, and may even bid farewell to the remaining games in 2006.

The Spanish team was even worse. Gasol injured his ankle at the last moment of the game. After examination, it was a metatarsal fracture and he needed to recuperate for three to four months.

The days without Ginobili, the Spurs gritted their teeth and survived, and the worst result can also be maintained in the upper half of the Western Conference; the Grizzlies do not have Gasol, I am afraid they will not be able to do badly.Under pressure, West stopped Battier's deal, intending to reintegrate the team's resources and set new goals.

Losing the boss of the team, everyone is optimistic that Spain's remnant team will enter the final to give the Greek team a head; however, the progress of the final is surprising. In the game against Spain, he felt nothing and was beaten all the way.Gasol, who did not perform well in the previous games, became the core of the Spanish team. He was omnipotent in low-post singles and long-range three-pointers. He scored 19 points and helped the team beat the Greek team and won the World Championship. .

Despite the abnormal performance in the final, Spanoulis performed very well in this World Championship, which also made Rockets fans look forward to his performance in the new season.

However, Huaxia fans are doomed to be disappointed. Spanoulis is a defender who needs the ball very much, which runs counter to the needs of the Rockets and Van Gundy's tactical system; Poor guard, this can be seen from the fact that he was traded to the Spurs, which is suitable for international players after the Rockets lost, but he was unwilling to try for another year, but insisted on returning to Europe.

Such a player, not to mention that Van Gundy can't use it well, even Ke Yan wouldn't want it.

On September 9th, Chen Shijun came to Atlanta, found Ke Yan in the arena, and told him about Google's plan to acquire YouTube.

When he was in Los Angeles, Ke Yan took advantage of blocking Chen Shijun's house to inject a sum of money into YouTube and obtained 15% of the shares.After the subsequent three rounds of financing, this share was diluted to 6%, but even so, with Youtube's valuation of more than 20 billion US dollars, Keyan can also get more than 1.2 million US dollars in income.

"Congratulations, the original investment was a huge profit." Chen Shijun handed the acquisition agreement to Ke Yan, and his signature was needed for the acquisition to be completed.

Solemnly signed his name on the agreement, and after completing all the transfers, Ke Yan can get more than 6000 million US dollars in Google stock and 6000 million in cash.

This money is enough for him to achieve financial freedom!

"I just met at the right time, and I don't have any sense of accomplishment. It's better for you, and you have realized your own life value." Ke Yan signed several documents and shook his head.

This is the truth. For a reborn person, making money is really not enough to stimulate him, especially for someone like Ke Yan who does not have such a strong material desire.Although he also uses his own advantages to make such investments, but that is closer to an instinct than a pursuit.

"Your goal is to lead the NBA team to win the championship?" Chen Shijun asked with a sigh of relief after getting Ke Yan's signature.

"Maybe in the future, I will buy an NBA team~" Ke Yan said.

1.2 million US dollars is not enough, ten times more, almost enough.

"That's right, it's definitely not as good as working for others." Chen Shijun doesn't think it's unrealistic. With Ke Yan's financial resources and his rapidly accumulated reputation, if any NBA team is to be sold, Ke Yan is qualified to bring a consortium into the game up.

However, Ke Yan's plan is to buy a team by himself.

That night, Wang Lifan received a gift from Ke Yan in the restaurant, a Cartier watch.

"Wow~" Wang Lifan was a little surprised when he received a big gift suddenly, "It's not my birthday, why did I send such an expensive gift all of a sudden."

"A few years ago, I made an investment and made some money. There may be news in a while, so I will let you know in advance." Ke Yan said.

"Huh?" Wang Lifan was surprised, what a huge investment.

"Youtube was acquired by Google, about 20 billion." Ke Yan said calmly, "I don't mean to show off, I just don't want to hide it from you."

"U.S. dollar?" Wang Lifan regretted it when he asked. Youtube US, Google US, is it possible that RMB is still used for settlement?

"Hmm~" Ke Yan responded, suddenly felt that Wang Lifan's eyes had changed, and quickly added, "I only account for a very small part, about 1.2 million."

Wang Lifan stretched out his hand to support his chin, looked at Ke Yan with great interest, and laughed out loud: "Do you want to consider handing it in?"

"Haha~" Ke Yan hid his embarrassment with laughter, "Okay."

"So arbitrary, don't you think about it?"

"As long as you're happy, that's enough for me."

Although there is no difference between love words and swearing when they are in love, Wang Lifan was still very happy when he heard these words, hugged Ke Yan and gnawed...

The two tossed all night, exhausted. . . . . . .

. . . . . .

A few days later, Chen Shijun took care of all the formalities, and Ke Yan received a large sum of money, counting the Google stock transferred to his name, and instantly entered the ranks of "billionaires".

And he made a fortune with the Eagles' Diaw.After finishing his journey to the World Championships and returning to Atlanta, the French immediately pushed forward the contract renewal negotiations with the team. While lowering his asking price, he only made one request, that the contract be signed for five years.

Dior performed poorly in the World Championships, averaging 8.4 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game, which to some extent confirmed the media's evaluation of him as a "system player", "no Ke Yan can't play", "only Ke Yan has instructions" .Coupled with the fact that Garnett's joining will also thin his own ball rights to a certain extent and affect his own data, Diaw finally made a decision to lower the asking price.

The Eagles did not take advantage of the fire, and offered a five-year contract of 5 million yuan. The average annual salary of 4500 million US dollars is very sincere, and it will not hurt the relationship between the players and the team.

As a reward after the contract renewal, Ke Yan added Dior to the team's media release day for the core makeup photos, and took pictures with Paul, Joe Johnson and Garnett, expressing with actions that Dior will still be One of the core of the Eagles.

Diaw completed an early contract extension, which means that it is difficult for Milicic to have any future in the Eagles.After all, the Eagles already have Garnett with an annual salary of 2000 million. The team already needs to pay a lot of luxury tax when Diaw's contract starts to be fulfilled next season, and Paul will renew his contract in the future.

The Serbian felt a little disappointed, but Ke Yan found an opportunity to chat with him, and made a clear promise that he would not suppress his playing time in the new season, and would give him ample opportunities to express himself and fight for a contract; he has always liked Milli Snyder of Cicci also talked to Milicic a lot, and his words were more useful than Ke Yan. After chatting with him, Milicic's face looked much better.

The next day was a public practice session, full of fans, all wanting to see the strongest Eagles team ever.

Ke Yan did not arrange for the coach to fight in groups, but directly divided the main team and the substitute team, telling the players to relax their defense and play as an All-Star game, with more dunks and more performances, as exciting as they come~.

In the Eagles, Paul and Joe Johnson are members of the Dream Seven team. Although they are all substitutes, they followed the US team to Japan after all. Paul still has the task of carrying bags for James, Anthony, and Wade, which consumed a lot of energy; Milicic and Diaw also participated in the World Championships, and the team was greatly affected by the "FIBA" virus.Ke Yan is well aware that there may be some problems with the players' physical reserves, and he doesn't even plan to arrange these players to play in the preseason.

Last season, they were eager to give fans confidence and help the team recover the ball market, so the Eagles performed more hard in the preseason; this season there is no such requirement, the accumulation of popularity in one season, the joining of Garnett, the tickets for the Eagles It is a hard currency, and there is no situation where it cannot be sold.

The defensive intensity is reduced, and the players are playing beautifully.

Streetball powerhouse Lucas III turned into a "fake Iverson", dribbling the ball away from Paul and assisting Stevens with an air cut dunk.Looking back, Garnett and Paul's high-position pick-and-roll cooperation first saw the power. After the pick-and-roll went down, he received a pass from Paul and completed an alley dunk.

The most unpopular player among the fans is Daniel Gibson. After he was selected by the Eagles in the draft, his "yin and yang" speeches on Facebook made the Eagles fans very upset. It took a long time to delete those speeches. They don't regard him as their own, and their "plain and unpretentious" style of play is not very brilliant, so it is not surprising that this kind of scene appears.

If you want to get rid of this situation, it is not difficult to welcome back the love of the fans, just show a good performance in the game.

After the media open day, the team's pre-season training camp started. The training camp focused on physical training and tactical training. The Hawks season lineup changed drastically. New players need to familiarize themselves with the team's tactics as quickly as possible. The up-line flanking defense system that comes out also requires players to continuously cultivate tacit understanding in training and continuous drills in actual combat in order to truly play it out.

On the whole, the Eagles' tactics have not changed much. Whether it is running and bombing or playing pick-and-rolls, Garnett replaced Josh Smith, and his power has increased geometrically.

For the new season, Ke Yan is full of confidence!
