Chapter 222 Reserve "Grandmaster"

If Kobe hadn't completed the lore, Ke Yan should be the focus of this All-Star game. He directed the Eastern All-Star team to play basketball beyond the times in the first half of the fourth quarter, overwhelming the Western All-Star team. Come!But because Kobe completed the lore and robbed most of the traffic, the performance led by Ke Yan was ignored by some fans.

But in the industry, Ke Yan has been regarded as a "reserve" master.

The evaluation of "grandmaster" is very special.Some coaches, no matter how good the results are, no matter how many championships they win, they are at most regarded as "winners" and not worthy of the title of "grandmaster"; on the other hand, coaches like Old Nelson and Adelman , may not have the chance to win the championship as a coach in this life, but they are all well-deserved masters.

In addition to grades, you must either be able to "establish a school" or be able to promote the development of basketball as a project.Obviously, Keyan definitely belongs to the latter.He creatively put the swingman Dior in the center position, defining the concept of "organizational center"; he figured out the "upline attack" defensive system around Garnett, and defined "offensive defense"; Old Nelson's "small ball" has been improved, adding a large number of off-ball pick-and-rolls, further optimizing the team's offensive threat; he is good at launching the fastest blitz attack when the opponent is weakest, which has helped him win a lot of stalemates Bureau game.

As for why he is a "reserve", one is that Ke Yan has no champion after all, and he is not strong enough in honor; the other is that he does not have enough qualifications and lacks some accumulation.

In addition, skin color and nationality are also one of the reasons.If any black coach in the United States had Ke Yan's level in the first three years of his career, he would have already boasted to the sky.

When they came to Las Vegas, Ke Yan, Paul and Garnett did not come together.But the night after the game, everyone returned to Atlanta together.Because on the second day, the Eagles had a game against the Memphis Grizzlies, who were rebuilding from a bad situation.

If the Eagles can win a championship this season, the Grizzlies must be thanked.The trade of Millsap + draft picks for Battier has greatly improved the Hawks.The team's winning rate has not improved significantly, but in this wave of winning streak, they often clock in three quarters, with a margin of victory of less than [-] points, and the pressure on the main players is much less.

In this game, Ke Yan rested Garnett and arranged for Webber to start on top, which also became a breakthrough for the team.Facing the inside combination of Dior and Webber, Pau Gasol, who returned from injury, scored 33+12, blowing up the Eagles' inside line and helping the Grizzlies continue to put pressure on the Eagles. The process also made Keyan very dissatisfied!

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Eagles still couldn't close the gap. After a period of rest, the role players hadn't come out of the holiday yet, and they felt cold. What a burden, fight more resolutely. <.

In the first 42 minutes of the game, the Grizzlies players proved their strength. In the last 6 minutes, the team's coaching staff remembered their season goals, and the team began to "release water".The situation was gradually controlled by the Eagles.

The All-Star Weekend returns, and the team's state has dropped significantly.Winning in this way, Ke Yan felt as uncomfortable as eating a fly. After the last timeout, he replaced all the main players and turned on the hair dryer in front of the audience. Paul and Battier couldn't lift their heads. !

At 108:99, the Eagles won at home and won the longest 18-game winning streak in the season, with a record of 46 wins and 7 losses.

Although he won, at the press conference after the game, Ke Yan still expressed his dissatisfaction with the state of the players.

"Our victory today was pure luck."

"Our performance is nothing but winning!"

"It has nothing to do with winning or losing, we all have to come up with a better state to deal with the game!"

Every team, every player, every season will have a period of low tide, no special reaction, just inexplicably unable to find the status.For the Eagles, the more embarrassing point is that the team was originally in good shape and had a wave of winning streak, but because of the "All-Star Weekend", the good momentum was interrupted. What a loss!

On the second day off, Ke Yan arranged two training sessions a day for the players to stimulate them to get back to their form quickly.Especially Gibson, who has had a lot of fun with Kohler Kardashian recently, has received special care from Ke Yan and Hamblen, and there is a high probability that he will not be able to go out at night.

On February 2, the Eagles traveled to the south coast to challenge the defending champion Miami Heat away.

In this game, the Eagles ushered in the return of Garnett.Ke Yan hopes that the recovered Wolf King can rebuild the team's defensive system and help the team win this tough battle.

Half of Ke Yan's expectations were realized. Garnett's return improved the team's defensive quality, but in the case of the team's overall poor state, Garnett failed to support the team's offense.When Wade and O'Neal were able to rely on their personal abilities to score, Garnett, as the main offensive point of the Eagles, was not strong enough to attack.

This is also Garnett's weakest point compared to Duncan and Nowitzki.In the minds of many people, Duncan is known for his stability of 20+10, but when he needs to score, Duncan never has a lake, no matter how tough your defense is, he will punch you through, which Ke Yan deeply understands; as for Nowitzki, although on the defensive end he needs his teammates to "hide" him, but for offensive scoring, you can always trust Nowitzki.

107:98,老鹰队客场不低热火队,队史最长的18连胜惨遭终结。(46-8)

In the opening game of the season, the Eagles hit the Heat with a record 42 points, which made Pat Larry face ashamed; looking back, the Heat not only ended the Eagles' winning streak, but also became the season The first team to double-kill the Eagles.After the game, Pat Larry was very proud: "Facts have proved that when we are serious, we are not afraid of any opponent, even if you are the regular season champion!"

The Heat have a poor record this season, ranking fifth in the Eastern Conference with 30 wins and 24 losses. The aging lineup, lack of outside firepower, O'Neal's decline and other problems have always plagued the team. The outside world is also full of doubts about the Heat.But as they double-killed the Eagles, more and more fans believed that they were really capable and able to fight tough battles, and they didn't play well in the regular season just because they didn't pay enough attention.

Are the Hawks really afraid of the Heat?Totally nonsense.Looking back and analyzing these two games, we know that the main reason for the Heat's victory over the Eagles was the head-hunting. Both games caught up with the Eagles' weak period.

But the media and fans don't look at this. They only see that the Eagles lost the game. These days, only those who win are qualified to speak.

On China's basketball forum, there are also some voices who feel sorry for the Eagles.Huo Qingshu took Ke Yan's words here, organized the language to thank a wave of analysis posts, and gained a wave of fans again.

With the end of the All-Star weekend, the trade deadline is approaching.The general managers of each team are making preparations for the final deal. The teams in the championship group seek to strengthen the lineup and increase the chances of the team hitting the championship; Trading plan; poor teams target draft picks, premium contracts and young players.

Ke Yan doesn't know what the other teams in the championship group are doing.For the Eagles, the only player on the shelves is Hassell.His remaining contract is as high as 4 million for 1700 years, and he is not in the team's regular rotation. For the sake of cost reduction, even if it is exchanged for a garbage contract with a shorter contract period, it is worthwhile for the Eagles. After all, it is not ruled out that "garbage contracts" can be swapped and both parties can be resurrected.

Larry Sander's idea was very good, but after Hassell was really put on the trade list, there were no people. Only the Rockets came up to ask the price and proposed to use Swift to trade Hassell.

Swift's contract still has 3 years of 1500 million yuan, and Hassel's contract has 4 years of 1700 million yuan. If the deal goes through, the Eagles' salary pressure will be greater, but the contract period is one year shorter, so they can be released earlier.And, from a long-term perspective, after this season, Swift has two years left on his contract, which is relatively easy to get rid of; while Hassel is one year longer, it will be more difficult to deal with.

Considering that Dior's new contract will come into effect next season, the Eagles will have a lot of salary pressure at that time. If Hassell's contract can be sold, the team may still have the possibility of tax avoidance. Larry Sander chose to state his interests to Keyan relationship, hoping to facilitate the transaction.

But after much consideration, Keyan still rejected the proposal.

Hassell's contract is a little premium, and it doesn't meet Keyan's tactical needs, especially the outside shooting ability is not up to standard, but in case something happens to the team's wing position, he can still be used; Swift's words, Except for running and jumping ability, he is completely unqualified in other aspects, and he is not necessarily a qualified big foreigner to play CBA at his level.

"If I dealt with this situation last season, maybe I would agree. But this season, our goal is to compete for the championship! We can't pay too much attention to cost performance. Every signing and transaction should be aimed at improving our strength." Ke Yan said seriously.

The representative of this aspect is the years of "fire brave hegemony". In order to compete for the championship, the Warriors can raise a pile of shit in the regular season in 1600, overturn the coffin board in the playoffs, and grab FMVP Yin Guodala; The team is always eyeing the minimum salary signed by XX who can play around the bulb combination.The two ideas also laid the foundation for the completely different destinies of the two teams.One is a great legend who has achieved 8 championships in 4 years, while the other can only become a "pioneer against bravery" in the mouths of fans.

The Eagles chose to stand still, and several other strong teams did not make subsequent adjustments. Everyone passed the trade deadline "without wind or rain".Next, if you are lucky, you will pick up leaks in the buyout market, otherwise you will hit the championship with the current lineup. From Ke Yan's point of view, I am quite confident in the team.

After two days of high-intensity training, the Eagles ushered in a challenge from the Detroit Pistons at home.

After Webber was bought out, the Pistons also played the "hometown card" to win the All-Star power forward to join, and promised Weber the main position.

However, Weber's first choice was the Spurs, and he gave up 500 million to promote a buyout. It was also because the Eagles defeated the Suns, so he didn't think much about the Pistons. This made the Pistons miss a chance to reinforce. Rasheed Wallace and McDyess are still on the inside, and Muhammad and Mihm are sitting on the bench. Compared with the past, the decline is very obvious.

Before this season, the Pistons were still the nemesis of "Ke Yan". Ke Yan led the team against the Pistons 10 times and only won one game. This season, the Eagles got Garnett and the Pistons lost Ben Wallace. Under the ebb and flow, the strength positioning of the two sides has reversed, and the Eagles have gained the upper hand.

However, in the two matches before the season, the two sides won away games respectively, and the Eagles didn't get any cheap!

At the beginning of the game, the Pistons competed with the Eagles with a rough team defense and a rigorous offense.

Facing Chris Paul, Billups showed his strength as a top point guard in the league. Using his big butt to back up against Paul has obvious advantages; using the emergency stop jumper after the pick and roll can also give full play to his own strength Physical advantage, it can be said that Billups is playing with his brain. After Ben Wallace left the team, he also became the real "boss" of the Pistons!

In just halftime, Billups scored 14 points, 7 assists and 3 rebounds. He led the Pistons to a 45:48 score, only 3 points behind the Hawks and entered the second half.

In addition to the data, Billups' greater contribution is that he suppressed the rhythm of the game, allowing the Eagles to slowly grind their positions against them, preventing the Eagles from frequently switching offense and defense, and limiting the Eagles' offense. A sharp blade!

In the second half of the game, Ke Yan made adjustments from the defensive end. The outside trio switched defenses. Paul, who was more flexible, more agile, and more active, followed up with Hamilton to ensure that he would not lose his position without the ball. Joe Johnson mainly played against Prince. , to limit the opponent's weak-side singles and turnaround jumpers, and at the same time save energy for the offensive end; Battier defended Billups in a misplaced position, using his more accurate positioning and good wingspan to limit Billups' "cold arrow" , with Garnett behind him to fill the position, he is not too afraid of the opponent's breakthrough.

This defensive layout is not without loopholes. Even if Billups is not good at speed, Battier certainly has an advantage in misplaced singles. Compared with attacking with the ball, Hamilton is better at catching and shooting, but against Paul, Hamilton has an advantage in height Obviously, you can also try to play inside; not to mention that the team also has Rasheed Wallace, who can play inside and outside, he can play pick-and-roll with Billups and Hamilton, and he can also create threats!

But when it comes to the game, the Pistons' offense is extremely sluggish, and they can't open at all.For Hamilton, Paul's defense is tougher than expected, and Billups can take advantage of his height and weight, but it is not easy for him; and Battier and Garnett's excellent defensive switching ability also makes it easier for Hamilton. The pick-and-roll with Lupus and Rasheed Wallace didn't work very well.

If the Eagles lost to the Heat in the last game was because of Paul and Joe Johnson's poor condition and Garnett's lack of hard-solution ability, then the Pistons' weakness is much more extreme than that of the Eagles!Billups, like Paul, is a player with a big heart and can complete a fatal blow, but it is difficult for him to score consecutive answerballs when the team needs a hero to stand up!And the current overall offense of the Pistons really has a big problem, which needs to be solved by Sanders!

At 98:87, the Eagles won at home, and the team's state has also recovered. (47-8)

A "battle of the meat grinder", everyone's data is not good.Garnett scored a large double-double with 19 points and 14 rebounds and won the best honor in the game.Joe Johnson scored 18 points, stable but not brilliant; Paul was overwhelmed by Billups for halftime, but fortunately he performed well against Hamilton in the second half, with 14 points and 8 assists, which was lower than the season average.

The best performer on the Pistons team was Billups, who scored 24 points and 9 assists. Obviously, the performance in the second half was not as good as in the first half; Hamilton and Rasheed Wallace scored 15 points and 14 respectively. , but only 3 people in the team scored in double figures.

It can be seen that the Pistons failed to get Webber, and the situation may be worse than in history.With the current fourth place in the East, it is very likely that they will face the Eagles directly in the second round. For them, this is not good news. It cannot be ruled out that the record of entering the Eastern Conference Finals for four consecutive years will come to an abrupt end this year. end.

Considering that the Warriors have been weakened, the pressure on the Mavericks has been greatly reduced; the strength of the Suns has improved, and the top three in the Western Conference may fight more intensely.All in all, the butterfly effect brought by Keyan has had a greater impact on this alliance!
