129:144, the score on the scoreboard is very dazzling!

The Eagles lost to the Mavericks at home, and the 12-game winning streak ended. At the same time, it also made the Dallas Mavericks win 4 consecutive victories after a 14-game losing streak at the beginning of the game.

It is extremely rare in the NBA that two teams with 10+ winning streaks meet.What's more, this game has been given more meaning.

The direct dialogue between Garnett and Nowitzki, who ranked No. [-] and No. [-] in the MVP list; the "interview" of Ke Yan, who was speculated by fans to have the "beautiful" attribute, in front of Cuban, etc.

It's just that Garnett and Keyan fell into a disadvantage whether it was the game process or the final result.

In fact, Garnett's performance was as stable as ever. His defensive pressure effectively limited the Mavericks' second-in-command Terry. The former Eagle King made 8 of 3 shots at the Phillips Center and scored 7 points. His performance was far below the normal level;

At the same time, Garnett also did a good job of protecting the frame, contributing 27+12 data in the whole game, ensuring that the Eagles did not fall behind in rebounding; and his output of 27 points was actually slightly higher than the season average Level.

However, Nowitzki, standing opposite him, used his hot touch to disintegrate the Eagles' defensive system.

As the support of the Eagles' defensive system, Garnett did not face Nowitzki all the way. Most of the time, Milicic watched and defended Nowitzki. The German chariot basically beat Milicic point-to-point. In the game, he made 32 of 18 shots and scored 44 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists.

Especially in the second half of the fourth quarter, the two sides entered a stalemate. It was Nowitzki's strong output that helped the Mavericks score steadily and established the team's victory.

In contrast, none of the Big Three of the Eagles can help the Eagles respond stably, which is a bit disappointing.

If Nowitzki broke out alone, the Eagles could barely handle it, but on the Mavericks side, Josh Howard also ushered in a big breakout.

Whether Anthony Parker, Stevens or Joe Johnson played in person, they were powerless to stop the wing singles player.In the whole game, Josh Howard scored 29 points and 7 rebounds, which echoed Nowitzki.

If you lose, you lose, anyway, Ke Yan can afford to lose now.

After the game, he immediately went to Avery Johnson to congratulate his opponent.

"Congratulations, Avery."

"For a long time, I thought I was going to lose." Avery Johnson chuckled, but he wasn't afraid to admit it because he won.

This sounds a little uncomfortable, and it seems to mean something.Avery Johnson's reaction may also be influenced by rumors that Ke Yan is a "cow secret", and he feels that Ke Yan intends to put pressure on him.

However, in the conscience of heaven and earth, Ke Yan's favor for the Mavericks stems from his admiration for the old Nelson. He only recognized the strength of the Mavericks in the interview. I don't like it, and basically don't consider going to the Mavericks.

"I hope this isn't the only time you'll be a guest at the Phillips Center this season." Ke Yan raised his eyebrows and said.

"I also think it won't be the last time."

The Eagles are in the weak East, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that unless the Pistons recover, they have no opponents in the East.

on the other hand.If the Mavericks want to come out of the West, they have to shed at least one layer of skin.

Back in the locker room, looking at a group of players sitting in front of the cabinet in a daze, Ke Yan took a deep breath and clapped his hands vigorously a few times:

"If you lose the game, you lose. It's just a regular season. It's no big deal! Remember today's lesson and get up from where you fell. I haven't broken the team's winning streak. I will continue to fight for it in a few days." , I'm sure this isn't the only streak we've had this season!"

"This is not the only winning streak we have had this season!" After the game, Ke Yan once again responded to a reporter's question about "failing to break the team's winning streak".

Since the start of the game, the Eagles have defeated the Heat, and the Rockets, Suns, Pistons, and the Mavericks have only lost one game in the dialogue. What is there to write about?

After the loss, Ke Yan only felt that the problem of the team's flank defense was exposed more obviously, and he did not find any bigger troubles for the time being.But on the Internet, a large number of keyboard coaches began to jump, pointing out various problems of the Eagles.

"If Kobe was there, the Eagles would not have lost this game! Kobe's easy-handling Josh Howard is as strong as God of War in front of Joe Johnson and Anthony Parker."

"Kimi is good at everything, but he is too stubborn. Anthony Parker is a big colander on the defensive end. I can see it. He also desperately gave him a chance to start."

"Facts have proved that Quin Snyder's departure has a great impact on the Eagles! When he was coaching in college, he brought out a team with a relatively balanced offense and defense, and now he is doing the same thing with the Bobcats Good. Kimi certainly has talent, but he's too offensively focused and needs someone to pull him when his brain is hot. Quinn plays that role."

"Garnett's deal, it is true to improve the strength of the team, and it is true to sacrifice the depth of the team's bench that topped the league last season. It is difficult to determine whether it is good or bad in a long season."

The team lost a game, and the fans found more problems than Ke Yan, the coach. It can only be said that the current Eagles are indeed in the center of traffic, and some people are jealous.

Part of the reason is that Keyan "rejected" Kobe's surrender in the summer, which caused dissatisfaction among some fans.Everyone still wants to see the combination of "KB+KG" take shape, but unfortunately, the Eagles failed to meet the asking price of the Lakers.

The fans don't understand the tactical system, the rationality of the lineup, and the locker room issues. What they know most about is the alliance of the giants, crushing the lineup, and sweeping the championship. . . . . . .There are also if, classic questions such as "Duncan and Garnett swap teammates", "If O'Neal is next to McGrady", "Leaving aside the facts, who is stronger in pure strength between Harden and Curry" and so on.

These keyboard coaches have seen more problems than Ke Yan, some of which are pure nonsense, and some of which are "unsolvable" problems, but there is one problem that is really practical, that is, the team's weakness at the small forward position.Anthony Parker is indeed not able to support the team's starting position, and Stevens is not tall enough, always letting Joe Johnson go up, the effect is generally not to mention, it also affects Joe Johnson's offensive level.

Based on the consideration of various reasons, after discussing with Larry Sander, the team formally communicated with the Grizzlies and asked about the offer of "Sean Battier".

"Sean Battier is a good player~, his defensive ability is top-notch, and his single-defense ability is also very good. With Garnett's defense, he can block any flank attacker." Interested in Battier, Jerry West immediately began to "boast".

Those who didn't know thought that Battier's nickname "Batman" was really "Pippen 2.0"!

"Jerry, you can be more direct and put forward your needs." Larry Sand responded, "I know, there must be something to talk about!"

"If we are willing to use Battier and Mike Miller as bargaining chips in exchange for Joe Johnson, do you think it is possible?" Jerry West asked.

Good guy, against the generals!

"If the goal of the Grizzlies is Joe Johnson, maybe we don't need to continue talking."

Both Mike Miller and Sean Battier are wing players with a balanced offense and defense. They are very good as role players, but it is obviously not enough to trade them for an All-Star Joe Johnson.

The key point is that the Eagles are now in the "championship group", let alone do this kind of "self-destruction of the Great Wall".

"But to be honest, the Eagles don't have any players that fascinate me." Jerry West said.

This old fox has long seen that the team that needs Battier the most is the Eagles. He has also studied the current lineup of the Eagles. To be honest, there is really no player he likes very much.

"OK." Shrugging, Larry Sander expressed helplessness to Keyan, "Then..."

"Get a mid-first-round pick while keeping Millsap! This is my bottom line!" West said, "It's done, come talk to me."

This is the same as last season when the Heat approached the Eagles to negotiate a trade for Posey. The Eagles will do the work and get the bargaining chips the other side wants. The Grizzlies can consider letting you compete for the championship.

In fact, people like Riley, Keyan, and West are all smart people.When talking about transactions between smart people, they pay more attention to their own goals and benefits. They will not bargain again and again with the idea of ​​"one point more is one point", but will take the initiative to facilitate the transaction.

Like McHale, making a deal, tossing Keyan back and forth, and finally knocking off the Eagles, and then giving up Roy for Randy Foye, pure brain is sick.

After hanging up the phone, Ke Yan could only shake his head: "West's vision is still poisonous!"

"This transaction request, shouldn't it be realistic?" Larry Sand said.

"It depends from which angle you look at it." Ke Yan thought about it, and seeing that Larry Sander still didn't quite understand what he meant, he explained, "Have you noticed that Jerry West never said About the balance of the contract?"

"Huh?" Looking back at the entire call, it seems that is indeed the case.

"So I guess, as long as there are enough young people and draft picks return, they don't mind swallowing one or two premium contracts. This is why they ask for a mid-level first-rounder and Millsap, a potential rookie." Ke Yan Said.

Historically, the Rockets traded Gay (No. 3) Gas Swift's three-year, 1500 million junk contract for Battier.It is slightly better than West's offer in the middle of the first round + Millsap + junk contract.

But after all, 07 was the year of the draft. West has a target rookie, and it is normal for him to be willing to trade.

It can only be said that Battier's ugly statistics this season still have some impact on his trading value.

"I'm here to talk to your fringe team in the playoffs." Larry Sander immediately responded.

07 is the year of the draft. Basically, the teams in the lottery zone will not consider the draft picks in the trade.Only teams on the fringes of the playoffs will use draft picks to strengthen their strength in order to fight for a playoff spot.

. . . . . .

The transaction is only a preliminary discussion, and the journey of the season is still going on.After a sweet schedule, the Eagles started their first westward expedition this season. The first opponent was the Golden State Warriors led by Nelson.

As Ke Yan guessed, after trading away the old Nelson, the Warriors pushed the team's second-year rookie Monta Ellis to the top. This high school basketball scoring machine began to show after a season of adapting to the NBA. own talent.

In the first 15 games of the season, as a sixth man, he averaged 25.5 points in 9.7 minutes of playing time. His sharp breakthrough and aerial confrontation ability that does not match his body are his advantages. After that, Monta Ellis played even more amazingly, averaging 17.9 points per game, fully demonstrating the demeanor of his scoring machine.

After the trade, the Warriors did not have much damage on the outside, but they had Harrington, a chaotic single player inside. The team's lineup structure was more in line with Nelson's needs, and the results were further improved.

The two teams that are good at offense have a direct dialogue, and this game is undoubtedly the focus of fans' attention.

The dialogue between "fans and idols" between Ke Yan and Nelson is also one of the highlights. The mutual praise between these two people is quite nasty.

Ke Yan has worked as an assistant coach for Tomjanovich and D'Antoni, but he never only thinks of Nelson as his mentor.Many of Nelson's assistants have become head coaches, but he also publicly said that Ke Yan is the most like him in the league.

And this game did not disappoint. From the first quarter, it entered the rhythm of confrontation.Ke Yan did not ask the players to slow down because of the Warriors' extremely impactful style of play, but directly confronted the Warriors.

The fast-paced transition of offense and defense made the fans dizzy, and the fans at the Oracle Center also cheered for the wonderful performance of both sides.

The Warriors are faster and more impactful; while the Eagles have better rhythm and more accurate shots; each has its own advantages.

Garnett has become the person with the strongest presence on the field for the Eagles, singles at the basket, turnaround jumpers from the baseline, follow-up dunks from the back row, and mid-range pull-ups. The Wolf King showed his comprehensive offensive skills and scored at halftime. The gorgeous data of 23+8+3 made the Warriors fans on the scene exclaimed.

But when Garnett was shining, the Warriors took the lead.

Facing Paul, Baron Davis made full use of his "heavy point guard" confrontation advantage, constantly breaking through and sprinting, making it difficult for Paul to resist, and if Joe Johnson came to switch defenses, Baron Davis' speed and breakthrough The ability is also enough to tear through Joe Johnson's defense.

The outside defense was easily torn apart. Even if Garnett contributed 3 blocks inside and successfully interfered with the Warriors' offense several times, it was still impossible to plug all the holes.

Last season, the Eagles had Paul and Posey on the outside with two above-level defenders, and the remaining one, Joe Johnson, was not a colander. In addition, Josh Smith was very active on the defensive end to help defend and fill up. The defense is impressive, but the inside line is weak, and a low-post attacker at Brand's level can teach them how to behave;

This season, after Posey left, the quality of perimeter defense declined immediately, especially when facing athletic guards or wings, they were beaten daily.

Although the defensive strategy of attacking on the line can suppress the opponent in stages, this move consumes a lot of money, and it is impossible to practice it into a conventional tactic. Garnett needs to take into account both the offensive end and the interior defense, and it is difficult to keep helping the outside line. butt.

This is the difference between being a "challenger" and a "championship team".The former thinks more about magnifying one's own advantages, and you may not be able to grasp any weaknesses that are a big deal; while the latter must discover your own shortcomings in the regular season and solve them.

Ke Yan did not make such a mentality adjustment before the start of the season. This may be one of the reasons why the Eagles are in trouble on the scene!

At halftime, the Warriors had the upper hand in the attack, leading the Eagles by 67 points 60:7.

After following the Warriors for half the game, Ke Yan felt that he was really halfway.In the face of this situation, he did not intend to sit still. In the second half of the game, Ke Yan asked Joe Johnson to cooperate with Paul to slow down the pace, not to continue to run with the Warriors, and to drag the game into the mire of positional warfare.

But the old Nelson's bombardment will never slow down because of the opponent's rhythm, especially when he has engines like Nash and Baron Davis.Relying on Baron Davis' powerful impact on Paul, the Warriors' offense is still flourishing.

Under the leadership of Baron Davis, Stephen Jackson, Monta Ellis, and Al Harrington are all alive. Once this kind of team with a lot of firepower is revitalized, it will be a nightmare. Ke Yan deeply realized this today.

After the third quarter, the score came to 104:88, and the point difference was opened by the Warriors to 16 points.

In the last quarter of the game, the Eagles tried to launch a counterattack, and once used the personnel dispatch of "Tian Ji Horse Racing" to narrow the point difference to 11 points, seeing the hope of a comeback.

But the old Nelson replaced Baron Davis in time, led players such as Azubuike and Pietrus to launch a counterattack, and slowly dragged down the physically disadvantaged Eagles.

At 132:117, the Warriors won at home and broke a big upset, which also gave the Eagles their first two-game losing streak in the new season.

全场比赛，拜伦戴维斯砍下31分11助攻6篮板的豪华数据，风头甚至压过了36分13篮板的加内特。

After the game, when Ke Yan shook hands with Nelson, he said with a wry smile:

"Although there are excuses of one kind or another, I still want to say that I am convinced."

To put it bluntly, the Eagles are the Big Three team, and the Warriors have just completed resource integration from the bottom of the underdogs. The card must be that the Eagles are stronger.But the old Nelson was able to seize the weaknesses of the Eagles to attack, and use Baron Davis to drive other attackers in the team.

"In terms of team building, you are the one that convinces me." Old Nelson said, "I very much hope that the reconstruction of the Warriors can be as smooth as the Eagles."

Old Nelson refers to the fact that the Eagles traded for Garnett and were directly promoted to the strongest team in the East.

Exchange zero for whole, never lose money!But superstars will not enter the market easily, at least the old Nelson has never had such an opportunity, and this is what he envies Ke Yan.

"I hope I can prove that Don Nelson's small-ball system can win a championship."
