Chapter 189 What is the defending champion? I fight the champion

In the preseason debut, the Eagles played against their old rival Indiana Pacers at home, which was also the first "unofficial appearance" of the brand new Eagles at the Phillips Center.

Ke Yanxue hid four players who participated in the World Championships, Paul, Joe Johnson, Diaw, and Milicic, all wearing suits and sitting off the court.

Although several people said that the problem is not serious, Ke Yan understands the importance of limiting playing time. There is a terrible injury called stress fracture, which is caused by exhaustion.

Huaxia fans will be very familiar with this injury in the future. Yao Ming's career ended early because of this injury. It has nothing to do with Kobe's collision.

As for why Yao Ming became sick from overwork, it has nothing to do with what the fans say, "The national team has too many miscellaneous games, and Yao Ming is deadly fucked". time and so on.

This is also one of the reasons why Ke Yan prevented him from gaining weight brainlessly during Paul's rookie season.

There is no need for Keyan to take such a risk in the mere preseason.Even at the beginning of the regular season, Ke Yan planned to manage the load of the players and control the playing time of the players.

This season, the team's goal is the championship, so it can't consume too much in the regular season. At the same time, it must control the player's state. This is also a new test for Ke Yan.

After the Palace of Auburn Hills incident, the situation of the Pacers has continued to decline in recent years. In order to create a better growth environment for second-year Danny Granger, Larry Bird adjusted the team lineup in the summer.

The team first let go of the Serbian Stojakovic who was out of tune with the team.Then a big deal was reached with the Warriors, using "Martial Saint" Stephen Jackson + "European King" Jascovisius + Josh Powell to call Troy Murphy + Jr. Dunleavy from the Warriors.

To evaluate this transaction simply, it is that we exchanged a very capable thorn and two additional heads for two mediocre "good guys".

However, within one season, the team lost Artest and Stephen Jackson successively. The Pacers' immediate combat power declined obviously, and even if Granger made more room, he alone It can't fill the two holes, can it?

Facing the seriously declining Pacers, the Eagles hid three main players and still had the upper hand in the game.Exclusively enjoying the starlight of the home team, the high-spirited Garnett obviously suppressed the absent-minded O'Neal; returning to the United States, Anthony Parker showed his achievements in "returning from learning" in front of the "hometown elders"; the team's two Rookies Gibson and Millsap also showed their performance after a short period of adaptation. This game is full of surprises for Eagles fans!

At 92:81, the Eagles, who were in a state of remnants, won at home and won in this "unofficial debut"!

After the game, Garnett, who played 23 minutes and scored 13 points and 7 rebounds, was interviewed by the media and expressed his excitement about playing for the Eagles.

"Yes, I am very excited about the new season. This is the first time in my career that I am not playing in the NBA as a Timberwolves player. I was not used to it at first, but I quickly found the feeling of playing here. We There are a few players who have been rested because they were at the world championships and need a rest. I look forward to playing with them sooner but I accept kimi

arrangement, because our ultimate goal is the championship! "It can be seen that Garnett is in a good mood, and Baba told reporters a lot.

It is normal for a veteran like him to look forward to the new season.After all, this season is his best chance since entering the NBA!

Everyone from the coach to the core is saying that if they want to compete for the championship, they must show the concentration that matches the championship. In the locker room after the game, Ke Yan criticized the team's flank defense.If there is any problem in this game, it is the defense on the wing position. Anthony Parker can't keep up with Granger's off-ball movement. He watched his opponent make 11 of 7 shots and scored a game-high 16 points.

Although he has great potential, Granger's strength is not ranked among the top ten small forwards in the league right now. If he can score fancy points in front of Anthony Parker like this, what should he do when he meets James? Will he explode on the spot?

In the second game of the preseason, the Eagles ushered in the Grizzlies, who had fallen into a "perplexity".

Gasol's injury in the World Championships disrupted the Grizzlies' team building plan. Although they were reluctant, the management headed by Jerry West knew well that in the coming year of the 07 draft In terms of timing, instead of continuing to work hard this season, it is better to give up this season and fight for a high draft pick. Of course, Oden and Durant have a bright future. One of the "double pride", Horford and Yi Jianlian also hope to become suitable inside partners for Gasol.

Without Gasol, the Grizzlies are full of holes.The team's most reliable ball-holding point on the offensive end turned out to be Mike Miller, and Battier, who has a rather miserable ball-holding ability, was also forced to assume considerable possession of the ball.Although the Grizzlies have done a good job defensively, it is really too difficult for the team, which is itself a "poor offense", to compromise the team's only reliable offensive point.

In fact, if the Grizzlies now have a good point guard, they can take advantage of the trend to run away and bomb tactics.The key problem is that their point guard is Atkins, a point guard with decent personal offense but basically no organizational skills.

With the help of such an opponent, the Eagles practiced various defensive and defensive tactics around Garnett. Ke Yan called all the timeouts and continued to explain the essentials of defense to the players. His professionalism shocked the Grizzlies' home commentator.

"Brother, you made a mistake. This is the preseason, not the playoffs."

Tactical drills, regardless of the occasion!

Not only in this game, but in the next few preseason games, Ke Yan has also been adjusting the team's defensive tactics.

Although the staff is uneven, under the careful polishing of Keyan and Snyder, everyone can see that the Eagles' defense is slowly taking shape.

Under the premise that the lineup is reserved, the Eagles achieved 4 wins and 3 losses in the preseason. They still won with two guns in the backcourt. Several rookies also contributed their performances, which brought surprises to the fans. .

Everyone is also willing to believe that the Eagles' slogan of "fighting for the championship" is not just talking!

. . . . . . .

Before the start of the regular season, the NBA officially launched the first strength list. The Eagles ranked fourth, behind the Heat, Spurs, and Mavericks, and ahead of the Suns and Pistons.

The combination of Yao and McGrady returned, and the Rockets came to seventh place. Last season, the Rockets performed poorly, and Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady had minor injuries.In the World Championships in the summer, Yao Ming's dominance remained; in addition, the team reinforced Mike James as the third scoring point at the point guard position, and also trained Matt Barnes at the small forward position. Chiwells, the team configuration is much more balanced, the only weakness is the power forward position.

Carroll Dawson's performance is commendable for being able to fiddle with such a lineup with limited resource allocation, which also brought back some impression points for him.The draft pick traded to the Eagles last season was transformed into the No. 8 pick. For this, Dawson was scolded a lot!

On October 10, the Heat's home opener, the Eagles were hand-picked as the witnesses for the Heat's players to receive the championship ring.

Under the leadership of Ke Yan, the whole Hawks team stood around the bench, watching the fans cheering for the Heat players to receive the championship rings.

Under normal circumstances, during the home team award ceremony, the away team players usually stay in the locker room and wait until the award ceremony is over before appearing on the field, but Ke Yan is not like this. He let the players witness this scene with their own eyes in order to stimulate them and show better performance .

"There must be sadness on the back of joy, but next time, the championship trophy may change its owner!" After successfully arousing the fighting spirit of the Eagles, Ke Yan once again encouraged the whole team.

This is not a word of mouth, this season, the Eagles have the strength to win the championship!

The players are warming up and the game is about to start.

This season, the Eagles won 16 national games, ranking fourth in the league, second only to the Heat, Mavericks, and Lakers, just like the Spurs and Cavaliers.At the same time in China, they won 41 broadcasts, second only to the Rockets.

Zhang reasonably introduced the Eagles' starting lineup: "The Eagles traded a lot of chips in the summer for Wolf King Garnett, which is a great upgrade to the lineup. They lost Josh Smith and James Posey in the trade. The team We brought in a player from Europe, Anthony Parker, who did well in Europe last season."

In addition to the NBA, CCTV also broadcasts the CBA. Although it also broadcasts the European Basketball Champions League, basically no one pays attention to it.Anthony Parker is almost a TOP3 star in Europe. Zhang Lili only used the word "performing well" to describe it, which is obviously a bit unprofessional.

"The Eagles insist on using Dior to start in the interior. Neither he nor Garnett can fight against O'Neal in the interior. Maybe Coach Ke Yan still wants to play against O'Neal in the opening stage?" Yoga said.

"Yes, we all know that Ke Yan is a coach who has his own tactical ideas and will not change at will. He would rather fight back against O'Neal's characteristics on the offensive end than use blue-collar insiders to defend against O'Neal." Zhang Reasonably continued.

Whether it is football or basketball, this is also a problem of CCTV commentary. The characters are made into faces. When it comes to the moon scimitar, it is Beckham, when it comes to anti-offside, it is Inzaghi, and when it comes to Keyan, it is small ball offense. Three highs who tortured Duncan!

O'Neal and Garnett, two inside superstars with diametrically opposite styles jumped the ball, ended with Garnett's victory, and the game officially began.

Paul dribbles across half court, passes the ball to Garnett who goes up to the free throw line, and then the team pulls out, with Paul and Diaw on the left, Joe Johnson and Anthony Parker on the right.Garnett holds the ball and faces the frame, one-on-one with Haslem.

Garnett took a step to the right. After attracting the opponent's center of gravity to shift, he patted the ball with his right hand and changed direction with his left hand. 2 to 0.

American Airlines Center burst into boos, and they thought such a meaningful goal should be done by the home team.

The Heat attacked and attacked. After the formation was opened, O'Neal's solid pick-and-roll created a breakthrough opportunity for Wade, and the Flash forcibly cut into the Eagles' restricted area.

Garnett switched defenses in time, and Joe Johnson also bypassed the pursuit, forming a double-team. Wade quickly distributed the ball to the middle and gave it to O'Neal who was emptied.

O'Neal catches the ball at the free throw line, which is not his offensive zone.When he was young, he could push the defense and hit the basket in one step. Now that he is older and lacks the explosive power of his youth, he can push Diao in one step, and Garnett's flanking attack followed.

O'Neal hesitated for a while and didn't make a shot, and passed the ball to Wade who pulled out from outside the three-point line to respond.

There was not much time left in the attack, Wade dribbled the ball to find a rhythm, forced Joe Johnson, then stopped and shot a jumper, hit the iron, Garnett took off the rebound steadily, Paul came back to catch the ball, and did not play a fast break immediately.

Paul dribbled the ball across half court and passed it to Garnett, who wanted the ball in the low post. The latter leaned on Haslem with his back, put on a few poses pretentiously, and then completed a pass-run cooperation with Joe Johnson. Overwhelmed Wade's defense, attracted Haslem's defense back to Garnett, and the Wolf King made a mid-range shot!

"Beautiful! This is the value of Garnett, and this is the offense that Ke Yan wants!" Yoga shouted excitedly.

Playing the pick-and-roll exposed O'Neal's weakness, so let him eat Dior in the low post, Williams handed the ball to O'Neal, and Garnett's timely flank attack made the Sharks very uncomfortable. O'Neal is dominant, but O'Neal's own offensive rhythm has also been greatly affected.

In the finals of last season, O'Neal averaged 13 points and 11 rebounds per game, and his performance was really not good.Although there are two muscular men like Dampier and Diop who are really good, but there are few muscular men that O'Neal saw when he was young?It's not like being blown up in minutes!The only explanation can only be that O'Neill's decline is really large.

It just so happened that it was covered up by Wade's progress!

After brewing for a long time, O'Neal's forced shot failed to score the ball due to interference. Garnett once again grabbed the rebound before O'Neal, and sent a pass when he saw the opportunity.

Paul received the ball, swayed Peterson's defense away through the change of dribbling rhythm, took off early and leaned against Wade behind him, and made a mid-range shot. 0:6.

Attacking around O'Neal's obvious advantage was frequently blocked, and the Heat got off to a bad start.In the next round, the Eagles suddenly launched a flank attack, but Wade just happened to speed up the breakthrough.

After Wade attracted the defense, he gave the ball to O'Neal at the basket. O'Neal was about to "overlord", but the Eagles found a foul opportunity for his increasingly slow movements. . . . . .Dio put a hand on O'Neill's arm.

The dunk failed, and O'Neill was so angry that he pushed Dior after landing. The Frenchman staggered and sat on the ground, raised his arms, and gave O'Neill a French military salute.

"..." Everyone else surrendered, the referee can't turn a blind eye, right?O'Neill received a technical foul and watched Dior hit a free throw, feeling even more annoyed.

"Boom!"

"Shh!"

O'Neal made two free throws and made one. After all, it helped the Heat break the embarrassment of 0 points. However, before O'Neal returned to the center line, the Eagles had already passed halftime.

In the 4-for-4 opportunity in the frontcourt, the cooperation of Joe Johnson and Garnett attracted the opponent to double-team, and then the ball was passed to the unattended Anthony Parker in the bottom corner. The European king hit his first 3-pointer back to the NBA. .

1:10, it was a nightmare start for the Heat.Rao Pat Riley knew that the Eagles were not easy to play in the new season, and even thought about the possibility of losing this game, and never thought that the team would be beaten so badly!

Especially O'Neill's state is really bad!

Pat Riley's face was livid on the sidelines, and the Heat players felt his anger.Thinking of the terrible training volume of the team after Pat Riley got angry, the players on the field put up 120% of their energy. They would rather use their strength to fight the Eagles than accept Pat Riley's training Lesson of baptism.

The Eagles continued to double-team tactics, whether it was Wade or Williams outside the three-point line, there was room for one step.This is Ke Yan's intentional arrangement. Whether it is Wade or O'Neal, they will encounter a stronger defensive force from the Eagles in the interior, targeting the Heat's weakness of inaccurate three-pointers.

"Boom!" Williams' attempt ended in a strike, and Wade grabbed the offensive rebounds differently, daring to force the ball in before Diaw's defense and caused Dior to foul.

"Wow~~~" Get up from the ground, Wade yelled twice, and clapped his teammates one after another to show encouragement.

But such a difficult score is not the way to win. Obviously, the Heat's offense is very difficult.

The Eagles attack, Paul and Garnett play an off-ball screen on the left side, and receive a pass from Joe Johnson in the running position, attracting Haslem to switch defenses, and pass a dribble to Garnett who is cutting.

White Chocolate was unable to stop Garnett from cutting and was completely squeezed away.Garnett took the ball and took three steps, and scored with a one-handed dunk before O'Neal made up the defense, 12:4.

Pat Riley finally asked for a timeout. In the opening 4 minutes, the Eagles played no matter how they played. If they don't make some adjustments, the Heat will collapse at the beginning.

For the Eagles, Ke Yan got up and gave the players high-fives in turn.

Garnett smiled very happily. At the beginning of the game, he had scored 6 points and 3 rebounds. He had formed a tacit understanding with Paul and Joe Johnson. More importantly, he found that O'Neal had become so weak!

(The weather is cold, the workload is up, the update is late, sorry)
