Chapter 196 If You Can’t Poach the Head Coach, Just Poach the Assistant Coach

The perfect start of 9 wins and 1 loss, and the perfect fusion between the Big Three, allowed the Eagles to reach the top of the strength list in the fourth period of the season. This is also an honor that the Eagles have not had for many years. The fans of Atlanta Cheers.

For Huaxia basketball, this is also another form of "peak moment".

Yao Ming's Rockets team is the "heart" of Huaxia fans, but objectively speaking, they have never been a strong team in the league. Anyone with a discerning eye can see the "weakness" of the Rockets' role players; An Asian player's first championship ring in the NBA, but everyone knows how important he is in the team.

Ke Yan has a considerable status in this team that can compete for the championship.Hawks fans call him "the core of the team", enough to overshadow Paul and Garnett.

And this wave of five-game winning streak is just the beginning for the Eagles.

After a day off, the Eagles sit at home and face the Charlotte Bobcats.

Taking ownership of the Bobcats as a shareholder, Joe proved that playing good basketball has nothing to do with good team management.

If the selection of Raymond Felton in the 05 NBA draft was a helpless move after Paul and Deron were snatched away, then Adam Morrison was selected with the third overall pick in the 06 NBA draft. cake.

The official template for this small forward is Larry Bird. In fact, he is more like a sharp brother, and the jersey can't cover up his sloppy.Moreover, he has diabetes. If his blood sugar is high, he has to take insulin, and if his blood sugar is low, he has to stop to add some sugar at any time.

In order to make room for him, the Bobcats pushed Gerald Wallace to the power forward position, but unexpectedly activated Gerald Wallace.

Swinging from a small forward to a power forward position, Gerald Wallace's "all-round" attributes further exploded. The offensive end can be pulled beyond the three-point line to break through with the ball. Few people can keep up with his mobility. It is even more "flying into the sky and escaping from the ground", with various fillings.If you really pay attention to his game, you will feel that his style of play is very similar to Sakuragi Hanamichi in "Slam Dunk", which is also the original intention of countless teenagers about basketball!

However, Wallace can play well against others. Against Garnett, it is no different from "a mouse sees a cat". Wallace made zero three shots from the outside; Wallace broke through with the ball, and Garnett firmly stuck his breakthrough line, limiting him to the greatest extent.

Stoudemire, the top match of this type of face-up insider, is helpless against Garnett, and needs Nash's needles to make a difference, let alone Gerald Wallace.

He was "choked to death" at this point, and the Bobcats almost fell into a comprehensive passive, losing 78:105 cleanly.

The Eagles left the fruit of victory, but Ke Yan ushered in a bad news.After the game, Quinn Schneider informed Ke Yan that he had received an invitation from Jordan and planned to go to Charlotte to interview for the Bobcats head coach job.

"???"

It will be difficult for his own luxury assistant team to last long in the future. Schneider and Hornacek will go to various teams to serve as head coaches in the future. Ke Yan has long been mentally prepared for this.But at any rate, we have to wait until we win the championship, or after everyone becomes famous, right?

This has just achieved some insignificant results, and the Bobcats came to poach people, which was a bit too hasty.

Even if it is to poach people, if the Bobcats come to poach people during the offseason, Ke Yan will hold his nose and bear it, and at worst recruit other assistant coaches.It's not easy for Ke Yan to recruit people to do this kind of thing in the middle of the season!

But, it’s not difficult to understand. After 11 games, the Bobcats’ record of 2 wins and 9 losses has not improved compared to last season. The key is that the content played by the team is also very average. Doubts were raised about whether Niki Bickerstaff could lead the team's rise.

After all, this season is already the third year for the Bobcats to build a team. Not to mention that they must advance to the playoffs, at least they must play something, right?

Still being beaten like a belly, Qiao Gangzhu said: "I can't stand it!"

On the other hand, Jordan moved the coach's mind, which also shows that he still has expectations for the team's performance this season, which is also one of the reasons why Quin Snyder attracted him.

"Quinn, as your partner, I have no position to persuade you to stay. I know that becoming an NBA head coach is your dream, and this is a good opportunity for you to realize your dream; but as a partner, maybe I don't think The Bobcats are very suitable for you." Ke Yan said, "Jordan has a strong desire to control the team, if you don't get enough rights, you may not be able to display your talent."

After all, Quin Snyder's qualifications are here. Leaving aside his college basketball experience, all his achievements in the NBA came from assisting Ke Yan.With such a resume, it is difficult to have any say in front of Jordan.

"But Kimi, didn't you also rise from such a predicament?" Snyder asked back.

When chatting privately, Ke Yan also talked to Snyder about the difficulties he faced in the early days of coaching the Lakers.From Ke Yan's words, Snyder can roughly understand his difficulties at that time, which can be regarded as an experience.

"Yes, there is no reason why you can't do it." Ke Yan smiled, patted Snyder on the shoulder, and hugged Snyder, "From now on, we will be opponents."

"It's just an interview, maybe I have to come back." Snyder shook his head and said.

If it was really just an interview, there is a high probability that it will be held in private like the first meeting between Ke Yan and Larry Sander in the middle of the 0405 season; Side has already endorsed Snyder and is only discussing long-term plans in the end.

"Come on~" Whether you like it or not, in front of Snyder, Ke Yan still has to encourage him.

After communicating with Keyan, Snyder went to Charlotte for an interview immediately, missing the Eagles' seventh consecutive victory!The Eagles beat the 132ers in civil unrest 109:76.

During the offseason, the trading rumors surrounding Iverson have never stopped. Since the inefficient performance of last season "drag" the 76ers' progress to the playoffs, the value of Iverson's trade has been greatly underestimated; at the same time The huge bargaining chip that the Eagles paid for Garnett is also regarded as a benchmark of the "superstar deal", which virtually raised Iverson's asking price.

Ultimately, the deal didn't happen all summer.

After the start of the season, Iverson, who aimed to prove that his efficiency has improved, led the team to a record of 5 wins and 6 losses, but still did not ease the conflict between himself and the team.Instead, the management has the confidence to raise a higher asking price!

This caused a greater conflict between the team and Iverson!Iverson felt that the team was deliberately embarrassing himself; the management felt that the team had the right to deal with the team's "assets."

The two sides say that the public is right, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is right.Come and go, the contradictions are even worse, and even affect other players in the team who want to play well.

Facing the Eagles, it is difficult for the team to push the Eagles into desperation like in the second game of the season, and the Eagles opened up the point difference at halftime.

That is, after the end of this game, Ke Yan was asked about the rumor that "Quin Snyder interviewed the Bobcats coach".

"Quinn and I have been a great partner, he has helped me a lot both in games and in practice. No one knows better than me how capable he is. I wish him a wonderful journey in Charlotte. "

When it comes to this topic, Ke Yan's face is actually not very good. In the middle of the season, the impact of the assistant coach's departure is still great.

But what can be done about it?No coach wants to be a head coach!In addition to realizing dreams, there is also the issue of income.Even the Lakers, with the best salaries in the league, paid only $70 to the chief assistant; while Ke Yan's first contract when he came to the Eagles was $150 million.

Come out to work, why not for money?

"Does the Hawks have any candidates for a new assistant coach?" the reporter asked concerned.

"Out of respect for Quinn, I will not interview other people until I get a formal resignation letter." Ke Yan said.

This statement has two meanings. One is to show that the relationship between Keyan and Snyder has not broken down, and the team and Snyder have "peacefully broken up"; the other is to use this press conference to tell everyone that the Eagles have no assistant coach yet. Those who are interested can send the information to the Eagles.

Ke Yan's prestige is not enough, and the team can't find any famous assistant coaches. With such a voice, more "free agent" coaches can send resumes to the Eagles, and it will be convenient for Ke Yan to recruit the best.

. . . . . .

After passing the interview, Snyder eventually became the head coach of the Bobcats.

On November 11, Yahoo Sports first announced the news that the Bobcats appointed Snyder as the team's head coach.Subsequently, the major media have reported this coaching change of the Bobcats!

It is reported that Snyder and the Bobcats signed a 3-year coaching contract of 750 million US dollars, and Snyder became the second head coach in the history of the Bobcats!

That is, less than two hours after the news was announced, the Bobcats broke out another big news. The team used Raymond Felton, Braden Wright, Gerald Wallace, Brezek, 07 In the first round of the year, Iverson came from the 76ers trade!

New coach, new core, Snyder took office, and immediately promoted the biggest deal in the history of the Bobcats!Even Ke Yan was shocked by his big action!

"Fuck, Iverson actually went to the Bobcats!"

"Kenny, what do you think of the Bobcats deal." Ke Yan threw the question to Kenny Atkinson who came for the interview, asking him his opinion on the deal.

"The 76ers made a good deal!" After thinking for a moment, Atkinson said, "Raymond Felton and Gerald Wallace are young people with great potential, and they just fit into the 76ers. In the team's lineup. If the performance of the Bobcats does not improve, this pick will also become an important bargaining chip for the 76ers to rebuild! The most important thing is that the team can start again from the uneasy atmosphere."

In addition to lineup fit, Atkinson even considered the re-establishment of the 76ers team atmosphere, and his vision is indeed very macro.

"So you think the Sixers made the deal?"

"Maybe I will play B+ for the 76ers and A for the Bobcats." Atkinson said, "For a young team like the Bobcats, Iverson can bring strong competitiveness. A franchise player, but not a cancer like Marbury, he rarely messes up the relationship with his teammates. His offensive power is a great complement for the Bobcats. Players such as Okafor and Morrison may get around him Great progress."

"In addition, Coach Snyder's father-in-law is Larry Brown. Maybe he knows the correct usage of Iverson better~" Atkinson made his own conclusion.

Ke Yan nodded, feeling that Atkinson's opinion was 75% close to his own.Both thought the Bobcats improved a lot with this deal.

In fact, after Iverson went to the Nuggets and partnered with Anthony, he was indeed a lot of selflessness, and there were even scenes of mutual humility with Anthony.

Maybe it's also because Denver, Detroit is just a place to work, and Philadelphia is his home?

You must be cautious in your words and deeds at work, and be unscrupulous at home. . . . . . .

. . . . . .

Auburn Hills Palace, Keyan's nightmare land!Since he was the acting head coach of the Lakers, Ke Yan has 1 win and 5 losses on this field!

Detroit Pistons, Eagles' nemesis!Last season, the two teams played 9 games together in the regular season playoffs, and the Eagles had 1 win and 8 losses!

It's really not too much to say "nemesis"!

However, this season, the situation between the two teams has shown a state of "one ebb and flow".The Eagles ushered in Garnett, the team had an extra tactical fulcrum inside, and the strength improved significantly; and the Pistons lost Ben Wallace, the key figure who restricted the Eagles, which was a fatal loss!

In order to fill the vacancy of Ben Wallace, the Pistons introduced Muhammad from the Spurs with a mid-level contract. Originally hoped that the blue-collar insider of the Spurs could fill the vacancy of Ben Wallace, but at the beginning of the season After "correcting" this wrong thinking, McDyess was put on the inside, and Rasheed Wallace was put on the center!

Mohamed's signing looks bleak, and what makes Pistons fans even more worried is the gradual resurgence of Milicic, a talent destroyed by the team, in the Hawks.Obviously Larry Brown has left, and obviously the team can give Milicic some chances to perform, but they still let go of this potential No. [-] pick in vain, and let him guard the basket for the Pistons' rivals!

Before the game started, seeing Garnett and McDyess standing together, Ke Yan thought of the next two "God Maps" that will be circulated in various forums. The whole team, chasing and shoving McDyess; one is an upside-down picture, Garnett is fighting and retreating in front of the entire Pistons team. . . . . . .

The cameraman captured Ke Yan's smile in a timely manner, and Yang Yi, a broadcast guest on CCTV, couldn't help but said; "Ke Yan looks in a good mood today, and it may be the first time he has noticed that the team has a good chance of winning at the Palace of Auburn Hills .”

In terms of brain supplements, it has to be Yang Yi!

With the opening jump ball, Garnett once again won the opportunity for the Eagles to take the lead in attacking.

After holding the ball for halftime, Paul raised his right hand high, indicating that others on the field opened up and left the strong side to himself and Garnett.

He brought it up and made a pick-and-roll for Paul. The moment he opened it, Garnett quickly cut to the penalty area.

However, Rasheed Wallace quickly got stuck, and Ben was away, Rasheed Wallace took on more defensive tasks.

Failed to form a direct scoring opportunity through the pick-and-roll, Garnett, who received the pass, did not pause at his feet, and quickly took a turn to the left.

When Garnett turned around, he found that Prince on the flank had appeared in front of his eyes, forming a double-team with Rasheed Wallace, and stuck himself in the middle.

Garnett passed the ball in the direction of Paul with false intentions, fooled Rasheed on the right side of his body, and at the same time, immediately retreated with the ball.

Taking advantage of the sideways movement of Rasheed Wallace's footsteps, he quickly turned twice to the right to adjust his position, widening the distance between himself and Prince.

Prince pressed on every step, and Garnett, who had come near the baseline, chose to take off before his body completely turned around, almost using a twist-like movement to turn over and shoot a jumper. This is Garnett's iconic scoring method .

"Shu~"

2:0

As the sound of the basketball hitting the net sounded, Garnett looked down at his divine right hand, and when he passed by Prince, he did not forget to show a smile.

The Pistons attacked, and Billups held the ball through the half, while gesturing to direct the inside players to get stuck, while pushing the ball to the bottom line on the right.

There, Hamilton had thrown off Joe Johnson's follow-up defense and was in an open position.

Hamilton's off-ball running position has reached perfection, and it is obviously difficult for Joe Johnson to follow him, not to mention that the Pistons' two consecutive off-ball pick-and-rolls blocked him firmly, and they had to watch Hamilton make a shot , hit! (2:2)

The Eagles attacked, and Garnett continued to step forward to make a pick-and-roll for Paul. This time, Garnett still chose to turn around and cut down.

Billups and Garnett pinched Garnett, the latter gave the ball to Paul, Paul attracted Hamilton and then sent the ball to the open Joe Johnson, who made a three-pointer. (2:5)

The impact of Ben Wallace's departure on the Pistons' defense can be clearly reflected in the Eagles' offense this round!
