"I don't know how I'm going to feel in LA. I thank Rudy for bringing me here. I thank the fans for loving me. I thank Kobe and the players for supporting me. Without them There is no me now.

I still remember my days as an acting head coach in Los Angeles, and it was a tiring but fulfilling memory.

I know I'm not a Laker anymore, I belong to the Hawks, but everything that happened with the team is in my heart. "At the press conference after the game, Ke Yan said with some sentimentality.

The reporters in the audience looked at Ke Yan on the stage one by one, and they could more or less feel a kind of sincerity from his words.

It was the Lakers who gave Ke Yan the opportunity to take charge of a team. Here, his coaching career ushered in a start.Even if the ending is not so perfect in the end, it is normal for Keyan to have some special feelings for the Lakers.

Later, the reporter asked Ke Yan to talk about Paul's "killer goal".

"Any coach will be excited to have a player like Paul. He is a player with strong tactical execution ability, can implement my tactical thinking on the field, and achieve a good balance between personal offense and kneading the team; at the same time, He can also stand up and play a hero role when the team needs it. The strength of the Hawks is that we have three of these players. I am very happy that Paul can stand up today."

"It was rumored that in the summer, Kobe Bryant proposed a trade request to the Eagles, and you finally rejected the deal. I would like to ask, is it true? What is the reason for you to prevent this deal from happening? "Yahoo Sports reporters asked really hard questions, and countless fans wanted a definitive answer to that question.

"... This matter did happen. But the negotiation of the transaction is not as simple as it seems on the surface. There are many games in the process of the matter, which makes it impossible for the three parties of the transaction to reach an agreement. At least In my opinion, it is more beneficial for the Eagles to retain the main lineup of the team." Ke Yan took the initiative to shoulder the knife and took the blame for "rejecting Kobe".

The Eagles started the game well, and Ke Yan's reputation has steadily increased.Garnett, Paul, Joe Johnson, and Diaw have a good run-in, which gives Ke Yan more confidence.

If the transaction is completed with too much blood loss, the Eagles' role player configuration will further decline, and by then, the results may not be as good as they are now.

After all, in competitive sports, performance is the capital.Ke Yan can lead the team to win, and he can say anything.

But if there is any good or bad in the playoffs, Comey will inevitably come to settle the score with him.

"IF..."

. . . . . .

The winter in Atlanta is shrouded in a layer of gray. Under the gloomy sky, the dead trees are trembling slightly.

After Huo Qingshu finished her day's class and attended a gathering of Chinese classmates, she finally returned to her warm nest.

After changing into the cotton clothes at home, Huo Qingshu sat down at the desk and turned on her laptop. The startup speed was a bit slow. During the startup process, she had already started watching the text live broadcast of the game between the Eagles and the Trail Blazers on her mobile phone.

The game has entered the fourth quarter, and the score came to 88:97.

The Trail Blazers' resistance was unexpectedly tenacious, and the game situation was refreshed. Roy singled Joe Johnson and hit a mid-range fadeaway jumper! (90:97)

I thought it was an easy game of abuse, but it turned out to be so anxious.Huo Qingshu couldn't believe it. He clicked on the technical statistics, but found that the data of the Big Three were the same. Garnett had scored 22+9. Joe Johnson and Paul also scored 18 points and 16+9 respectively. Double data.

The game was difficult, more because the Trail Blazers played very well.Roy has shown excellent form after entering the league. In November, he averaged 11 points and 16.7 assists per game, and won the Rookie of the Month performance without any suspense.

In this game, he went one step further, scoring 17 points and 6 assists after three quarters; Randolph and Aldridge also contributed double-digit scores, and the Trail Blazers even suppressed the Eagles in the interior competition .

Reminiscent of Ke Yan's praise for the Trail Blazers' draft work in "Basketball Park" in summer, Huo Qingshu was even more surprised by Ke Yan's vision, and found the topic of today's forum post.

Finally, the computer was turned on successfully. Huo Qingshu waited patiently for a while, closed all pop-up windows, entered the browser, found the link of the game live broadcast in the favorites, and clicked in.

After clicking on the webpage, the two sides completed two attacks respectively. The Trail Blazers scored a three-pointer from Jarrett Jack, narrowing the point difference to 4 points.

The situation is a bit unfavorable for the Eagles!

"Obviously, after the winning streak was ended, the Eagles had a very difficult trip to the Western Conference. Whether they win or lose, the Warriors, Lakers, and Trail Blazers have all caused trouble for the Eagles. It's a challenge they don't have in the East."

It is an objective fact that the west is strong and the east is weak.But these words are not valid for Keyan, and it's not like he hasn't been in the west before!

Just say that last season, he almost completed the "Sweeping Texas Plan", only the last step.

Paul dribbled the ball across the half court, and Jack stepped on the three-point line and stopped in front of him, ready to fight.

Paul did not choose to play singles, but made a gesture, and Garnett came up to cover him. Seeing this, Aldridge immediately switched defenses with Jack, not giving Paul an easy mid-range shot.

Paul dribbled the ball in a continuous change of direction, and Aldridge danced in the horns with realistic fake moves. After a circle, he watched Paul break into the basket and score a layup! (95:101)

Looking back, Randolph showed his powerful strength in the low post. After receiving the ball in the high post, he made a sudden breakthrough with a fat pig, carried Garnett to the penalty area line, opened the space, and scored a mid-range shot. (97:101)

Randolph's other abilities are average and he needs his teammates to help him wipe his ass, but his offensive skills are indeed rich.Whether it's a low position or a face-to-face singles, they can cause a lot of damage by their own strength. Garnett is very difficult to carry!

Round conversion, the Eagles attack, Paul and Garnett pick and roll again, looking for opportunities to single Aldridge.

The Trail Blazers learned the lesson just now. Aldridge deliberately raised a small half step to cover Paul's shooting space. Randolph behind him ignored Diaw from the bottom line and formed a protection for Aldridge.

Paul handed the ball to Garnett, who relied on his height advantage to eat Jack alone, easily arched Jack, shot from mid-range, and made a hit. (97:103)

On the sidelines, McMillan frowned when he saw the Eagles relying on pick-and-rolls to score consecutively, but he hesitated for a moment and did not make defensive adjustments.

On the field, the Trail Blazers sent a baseline ball. This time the Eagles strengthened their defense against Roy. He distributed the ball to Aldridge, who made a straight-arm jumper and made a precise hit! (99:103)

Able to play back from the low post, turn over and shoot a jumper, and shoot from the high post is also accurate. It is indeed Ke Yan's favorite among the new generation insiders.

Starting from the notoriety of the "Portland Prison Team", although it hasn't been long, McMillan has shaped the character of this team. Their style of play is very tough, and Huo Qingshu who is watching the game in front of the screen is very worried.

The Trail Blazers adjusted their defense consciously. Webster stepped forward to assist Aldridge to pinch Paul, and Jack quickly chased and returned to his position.However, just as Jack and Aldridge switched positions, Paul slammed the Jianqiu basketball on the ground, passed between the two, and bounced into the hands of Garnett who was running down. Garnett took advantage of the momentum and rushed to the basket. Next, leap high, against Randolph and put the ball into the basket.

Round transition, Blazers attack, Roy personally controlled the ball across the half court, used the pick-and-roll to pass Joe Johnson, and went straight to the inside. Garnett got stuck, but Roy made a big change of direction and dodged sideways Passed Garnett and rushed into the restricted area.

Diaw let go of Randolph and came to assist in the defense. Roy dribbled two steps to the left to attract the defense and then passed the ball to Randolph who was unguarded under the basket. After receiving the ball, the latter took off and dunked.

"Snapped!"

At the critical moment, a big hand slapped it heavily and slapped the basketball onto the backboard!

Garnett returned to the basket in time and gave Randolph a big cap!

This is not over yet. After the block was completed, Garnett grabbed the rebound before Aldridge and threw the ball directly to the frontcourt. Joe Johnson had already taken the lead, received the ball, and rushed directly to the basket.

Webster was at his side, giving full chase.Joe Johnson's speed is not fast, but he still has some speed for running once in a while.

What's more important is that he has rich experience and can firmly hold Webster's position. The latter can't catch up and overtake him. In the end, in order to avoid being beaten into 2+1 by Joe Johnson, he wisely chose to stop. "Let go" Joe Johnson completes the dunk.

With 3 minutes left in the game, the point difference was stretched to 8 points, and the Eagles were in a relatively favorable position.

The situation was not good, McMillan called a timeout and rearranged the team's tactics on the field.

Back from the timeout, the Trail Blazers played new ideas in sideline ball tactics. Webster found an open three-pointer through an off-the-ball pick-and-roll with Aldridge, but his shot failed to hit. Aldridge grabbed the front A rebound, then a tip-up, was interfered by Garnett.

At the first time, Aldridge complained to the referee about Garnett's foul, not only failed to change the referee's penalty, but was directly launched a fast break by the Eagles.As a result, facing the opportunity of 4-on-3 in the frontcourt, Paul chose to control the rhythm and not launch an offense.

The same young players, also the young core of team building, the mentality gap between Paul and Aldridge determines the outcome of the game.The Eagles contained the Blazers' counterattack and won the game 115:107.

Paul scored a double-double of 23 points, 11 assists, 4 rebounds and 2 steals, and stood up in the second half of the fourth quarter, constantly killing the Trail Blazers through pick-and-rolls.It is the key to the Eagles' victory in the fourth quarter.

Garnett's 26 points, 14 rebounds and 3 blocks are even more gorgeous than Paul, especially at the end of the game, he has made great contributions on the defensive end twice.It also reflects its own value.

Also playing pick-and-roll with Paul, Josh Smith will hit the basket more and try to complete the offense with dunks as much as possible.Fans enjoyed it, but the method was a bit single, and once the opponent's center was mobile enough, Josh Smith's attack efficiency was not stable; in contrast, Garnett was inferior to Josh Smith except for the impact of dunks. In addition, other things, whether it is the handwork after the roll or the direct catch and shot, the threat is much greater.

Not to mention the defensive end, the role of the two is even more different.

After the red light came on, Ke Yan came to the technical platform, and McMillan walked towards him with a wry smile:

"I really feel that I have worked hard enough, and the progress can actually be seen. But compared with Kimi, it always feels a lot slower!" McMillan said.

Ke Yan rejected the Trail Blazers, and McMillan got a lucrative contract from the Trail Blazers with an annual salary of 500 million. In addition, the two were in the east and west, and there was no direct competition. Therefore, McMillan's attitude towards Ke Yan was much friendlier.

Ke Yan smiled and shook hands with him: "The situation we are facing is different, let me come, I may not be able to control the Blazers locker room."

This is really not modesty, but the words from the heart.

McMillan is black, and Keyan is Chinese. This is the fundamental difference.When Ke Yan mentioned this, McMillan could figure it out.

"But you have the No. [-] pick, will you choose Paul?" McMillan asked.

"Ah...it should be." In fact, McMillan could also choose Deron, but he trusted Telfair and missed it.

Fortunately, Brandon Roy played, which can be regarded as making up for McMillan's mistake of missing Deron.

After the game ended, Huo Qingshu immediately logged into his HP forum account and expressed his views on the game: "Ke Yan is really strong! Before the season started, he said that the Blazers were the best in the draft! It's true, it's true That's right! Roy is really good, and Aldridge is also good!"

Since he will act as a "Sinicization Team" from time to time, translating some articles from the United States, and posting some photos of himself and Ke Yan, Huo Qingshu is also considered a "famous person" in HP. After posting, the number of replies quickly exceeds a thousand.Immediately, he started a heated discussion with netizens with great interest.

. . . . . .

Although all three games were played to the last moment, it is undoubtedly acceptable to achieve 2 wins and 1 loss in a wave of three-game Western Conference schedule.After returning to Atlanta, the Eagles got two full days off, and the Indiana Pacers would be welcomed on the third night. Ke Yan also generously gave the players two days off, allowing them to go home and take a good rest.

Including Keyan himself, also need time to relax.After all, he is also a human being, and his nerves are tense due to continuous combat, and he needs to relax properly.

"How about pretending to decompress? Come to our forum?" Huo Qingshu sent an invitation to Ke Yan on behalf of the website.

"Sister, do you know how much my appearance fee is now?" Pretending to be aggressive is not only possible by going to the forum.

"You are a rich man with a net worth of hundreds of millions of dollars! You still care about this~" Good guy, kidnapped by playing morality.

After chatting for a while, Ke Yan finally asked Huo Qingshu for the forum account.Login account, ID name: Piaoxue Another Year.

Very feminine name!

In his previous life, he was also a JRS. In his spare time, he would browse forums and watch all kinds of "green posts".It was the first time I logged in after time travel, the forum page was still very simple, and the management was relatively loose.Moreover, Yao Mi and Ke Mi accounted for 80% of the forum population, fighting each other on a daily basis.

The two strongest fan groups in the previous life, Comey and Jamie, are far behind these two groups.

After spending his half-day vacation on the forum, he was about to go out for lunch when Larry Sander called.

The Eagles need a mid-first-round pick to trade the Grizzlies' Battier, and the Rockets are interested in getting involved and sending their own first-round pick.

"Dawson still dares to make a deal with me?" Ke Yan laughed, he really doesn't have a long memory!

"Their requirements are relatively high. To use Swift to trade our Anthony Parker!" Larry Sander said.

"What the hell!" Ke Yan said in shock.

Last season, the Rockets were in the lottery zone. They used a high probability lottery pick to take away Juwan Howard's garbage contract. They wanted to leave Barnes, who was at the bottom of the rotation. Obviously, they used the first-round pick to take away Rubbish contracts save money.

In fact, they did achieve their goals.It's just that this lottery pick was finally upgraded to the No. 8 pick, and it brought Garnett to the Eagles. It seems that the Rockets have lost money to grandma's house!

And now, they want to do it again!Taking advantage of the Eagles' eagerness to strengthen, stuff them with junk contracts to ease their salary pressure.

But this season, the Rockets have done well, ranking fifth in the Western Conference!The probability of the first-round pick is between 20th and 23rd.With such a trade-worthy pick, it's hard to take away Swift's junk contract, and you still want the Eagles' starting small forward, isn't it a joke?

"Do you think Paul might activate Swift?" Larry Sand asked.

Swift is a beastly power forward with very strong physical fitness. Maybe such a player can try to save a wave when he encounters a top point guard like Paul?

Larry Sander is a bit good, he will inform Ke Yan of any feasible deal, and leave it to Ke Yan to judge.

At least better than Kupchak!

"It's hard!" Ke Yan shrugged, "Swift's problem is not just that his technique is rough. His lower body strength is weak, and he can't be a blue-collar. Even if Jordan comes, he can't save him!"

If Jordan really came, he would probably have retired directly!

Except for good jumping, strong explosive power, and beautiful dunks, there are really no advantages. Later, he failed to make a name for himself in the CBA.

"If they want Anthony Parker, let's talk about it with Bunch Wells and others~" Ke Yan studied the Rockets' roster and responded, "Or they will take Hassell's contract, I reluctantly agree to ask for it." Swift."
