The Western Conference has won two consecutive away opponents. The Eagles are only three games away from the third wave of 10+ consecutive victories this season. If they can beat the next three opponents, the Eagles will become the first team in the new century to win three times 3+ winning streak teams.

After so many years of rot, I can finally feel proud. Eagles fans have high expectations for this, but they never expected that Joe Johnson was injured in the next game against the Cavaliers.

As the second quarter was drawing to a close, Joe Johnson broke into the penalty area and made a layup against the defense. When he landed, he stepped on the foot of the Cavaliers' backup center Vallejo, and unfortunately sprained him off the field.

This change is a big blow to the home fans. After all, the Eagles are aiming for the championship this season, and the injuries of core players will definitely have a great impact on the team's season journey!

Joe Johnson's injury also affected the mentality of the players, and it was directly reflected in the game.

Without Joe Johnson's restraint, the Eagles' rotation was greatly affected, and they eventually lost to the Cavaliers 106:111, ending their 7-game winning streak. (52-9)

After the game, Joe Johnson underwent an MRI examination, and the injury to his left ankle is not too serious, and he will be absent for 2-4 weeks.

Core players are injured, which is not a good thing for any team.Especially Joe Johnson is really a bit unlucky, obviously he is a "floor flow" style of play, he doesn't jump high, he doesn't rush hard, and he doesn't even play a lot of time. As a result, he was injured for the second time this season due to an accident on the field, which is true. It's just bad luck.

Among the nba coaches, Ke Yan pays more attention to the depth of the lineup, and rarely plays the main players, allowing the core players to play more than 40 minutes. This is also the reason why the injuries of the teams he coaches have been relatively well controlled. .

But sports events, injuries and accidents are always inevitable. There are some emergencies on the field that no one can control. Ke Yan can only adjust his mentality, and at the same time he has to motivate other players, for example, pj Tucker!

After joining the Eagles, pj Tucker has lost more than 8 pounds in more than two months, and his body is much more symmetrical.After losing some fat, Tucker's lateral movement speed has also improved, and the defensive end can play a greater role in the small forward position.

Joe Johnson's injury finally freed up more playing time on the wing position, and Tucker was also promoted into the team's rotation.

On March 3, the Eagles played at home against Garnett's home team, the Timberwolves.

At the beginning of the season, the Garnett-related deal was completed with the Eagles. It was a successful reconstruction for the Timberwolves. The few players traded for Garnett, except for Jerome James, who originally matched the contract, Several other players played well.

Under the cultivation of the team at "cost", the Shark Bynum has improved significantly this season, averaging 13.5 points, 9.7 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game this season. While the statistics are impressive, he has also begun to slowly show his ability in the low post. His rapid progress allowed the Timberwolves to switch the No. [-] target in the draft from Oden to Durant;

Guyin and Foye are two rookies. The Timberwolves pay more attention to Randy Foye, otherwise they would not exchange him with Luo Yin. However, Gayin performed better among the two. Gai Yin started from the bench, completed the counterattack step by step, and became the team's starting small forward. He averaged 14 points and 6 rebounds per game. He is currently the player who is second only to Luo Yin in the selection of the best rookie;

Compared with Bynum and Guyon, who have unlimited potential, David Lee and James Posey bring more immediate combat power to the Timberwolves. The former sits firmly at the starting four position of the Timberwolves and averages 16 points per game. The double-double data of 10 rebounds is known as the "double-double machine". It is also the team's leading scorer and rebounding leader. However, its own defensive weakness is more obvious. As many points as the offensive end, the defensive end will send back as many points. Because of this, his points are underestimated; the latter is a typical puzzle player of a strong team. After a reconstruction team like the Timberwolves does not perform well and is replaced by Gai Yin in the starting lineup, the statistics are not very good, but he Just the opposite of David Lee, as long as he plays, he can significantly improve the team's perimeter defense. He is a player who "performance is greater than statistics".

Joe Johnson does not play, Stevens enters the starting lineup, and the Eagles' starting lineup is full of defensive strength. Paul, Stevens, Battier, and Garnett are all excellent defensive players in their respective positions, and they are easily restrained. Stopped the Timberwolves' offense.

The Timberwolves have potential stocks in other positions, but the point guard position is weak.Faced with the Hawks' upline attack, Jaric couldn't comfortably pass the ball to Bynum on the inside. The situation of the game has always been in the hands of the Eagles, making the opponent "can't move."

With their oppressive defense, the Eagles frequently caused opponents to make mistakes and staged wonderful defensive counterattacks many times, which further boosted the momentum of the whole team. The offensive end was also very targeted, and finally defeated the Timberwolves 115:95. (53-9)

保罗登场30分钟，投篮20中12，罚球5中5，砍下33分8助攻5篮板，有效填补了乔约翰逊不打的火力空缺。

Due to the team's relatively large lead, Tucker also got 16 minutes of playing time. In the whole game, he made 4 of 1 shots, scored 2 points, grabbed 4 rebounds, and performed quite well.

In the game on the same day, the Mavericks lost to the Magic 98:101. The gap between the two teams was pulled back to 3 games. Te and Paul.

On March 3, the International Women's Day, the Eagles played away against the Orlando Magic. This is also the third time the two teams have met this season.In the first two duels, the two sides reached a 8:1.

Compared with the Heat picking up the heads of the Eagles in their weak period, the Cavaliers ate the benefits of the Eagles' injuries. The Magic's head-on victory over the Eagles at the beginning of the season was very valuable; in addition, the Pistons did not get Webber. In a tepid state, the Magic has also become the Eagles' strongest opponent in the Eastern Conference.

Injured Joe Johnson, the Eagles lost one of the Big Three, and the strength was obviously damaged.However, when implemented in the game, the "disabled" Eagles made the Magic a little at a loss!

At the beginning of the game, as long as Nelson held the ball for halftime, the Eagles launched an "upline attack" to suppress Nelson's ball.

Compared to Parker who is slowly adapting to the Hawks' pressing through his own efforts, Nelson has a clear idea of ​​how to deal with this tactic, which is to hand the ball to Turkoglu. This may be the difference between an ordinary player and a championship point guard. The gap is up!

Nelson was suppressed at this point, the ball was concentrated on Turkoglu, and the Turkish agents dominated the ball, sorting out the team's offense in an orderly manner.

But problems also followed. After focusing on running the ball, Turkoglu's personal offense was sniped by Battier, whether it was an emergency stop jumper after a pick-and-roll or a slow three-step layup after a cut. None of them hit!

The Eagles traded so many assets to Shane Battier in order to have a high level of defensive strength when facing the opponent's perimeter singles. Battier is not enough to defend against Kobe and James, but against Turk Grew showed his worth and defended his opponent.

Facing the "residual blood" Eagles, the Magic's offense was suppressed, and the defense was also turned upside down by Diaw and Garnett, and they were quickly defeated.

92:105, the Eagles beat the Magic away. (54-9)

Seeing his wife busy cooking a lot of dishes, Wang Zhenyao couldn't help but said, "Enough is enough, the four of us can eat, we can't eat much."

Judging by the posture of the preparation, there are eight or nine dishes to be prepared, and they are all hard dishes.

It was still very cold in Atlanta in March, the dishes in the back were not ready yet, and the dishes in front were already cold.

"Make more, Ke Yan likes to eat, never likes to eat, and what you like to eat, so you don't have to shout!" Zhou Yun gave her husband a blank look, "You said that we can go back this time and visit Ke Yan's parents, can we settle the matter? come down?"

"What can I say, Ke Yan's parents are both in public office, so it's not convenient for us to come to the United States, so let's go back and visit, and don't think about other things!" Wang Zhenyao said angrily, "Ke Yan is indeed pretty good, but we Never is not that no one cares about it.”

"It doesn't matter~, I'm going to choose Ke Yan as my son-in-law!" Zhou Yun emphasized, "It's not like you don't know how our daughter escapes, and Ke Yan is the only one who can hold her. I don't want to be in the future.

.

.

. "

"Cough, cough, cough!" Wang Zhenyao coughed heavily, stopping his wife from continuing.

There are some things that Ke Yan doesn't really care about, but in the eyes of the elders, they are really "black history".

The two elders were chatting about going back to China to visit Ke Yan's parents. When they heard the knock on the door, they hurried over to open the door. Who could it be if it wasn't Ke Yan and Wang Lifan?

Wang Lifan held Ke Yan's arm and let go only when the door opened.

Wang Zhenyao was not surprised: "I just talked about you, and I arrived just as I was about to make a call."

During the meal, Wang Zhenyao cheerfully poured a glass of wine for Ke Yan, and talked about his and Zhou Yun's plan to visit Ke Yan's parents in Huaxia.

"My parents also feel very embarrassed about this matter. They have applied to the unit several times and want to come to the United States to visit you and your aunt. They are really public officials, and the control is relatively strict." Ke Yan's parents expressed their apologies to the two elders, " Don't worry, as long as the date here is settled, my parents promise to make arrangements."

"Where is it!" Wang Zhenyao said seriously, "We are embarrassed to disturb your family."

"In terms of etiquette, it should be my parents who came here."

Ke Yan is also very helpless. Basically, as long as he finds "Crooked Nuts", he will definitely encounter similar embarrassment.

"We will be a family from now on, don't talk about these~" Wang Zhenyao waved his hand generously, signaling Ke Yan not to take these trivial matters to heart.

Falling in love with Wang Lifan, aside from other benefits, just the fact that his parents are "reasonable" makes Ke Yan very comfortable.

From the first time Wang Lifan brought Ke Yan in front of the two elders and announced "this is my boyfriend", to the first time Ke Yan visited the door, the second time, and the nth time, the relationship with Wang Zhenyao and Zhou Yun became more and more serious. It feels like being part of a warm family!

During this process, everything happened naturally, and there was no accident because of the great success of Keyan's business and the investment made 1.6 million US dollars. Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

After chatting about Ke Yan's parents for a while, the topic of the two turned to Ke Yan's career.

"This season, how sure are you of winning the championship?" Wang Zhenyao asked.

The person I was chatting with was my father-in-law, and there was absolutely no need for an answer of "hiding the head and showing the tail", Ke Yan made some calculations and said: "The original answer was 45%, but the current situation is not stable, it is probably between 35% and 50% .”

"Your probability calculation is like our doctor's operation!" Wang Zhenyao smiled, "Can you explain it?"

"Actually, it's just my own deduction. Because no matter how the Suns, Mavericks, and Spurs strengthen and run in, they can only have one team out in the end and meet us in the finals. Considering that the Hawks can play more Entering the Finals with low loss, I am confident that it will be a [-]-[-] situation against any of them."

"So you were 45% sure at the beginning, and the remaining 5% were accidents caused by player injuries." Wang Zhenyao understood what Ke Yan meant, nodded and said, "As expected of a 'scientist'! Very sophisticated logical reasoning."

"Not only that, according to my original idea, the opponent in the finals is likely to be the Spurs. Personally, I am not afraid of the Spurs!"

But now, with the strengthening of the Suns and the weakening of the Warriors, the luck of the Mavericks looks better. If it is against the Mavericks, Ke Yan will find it more difficult to play.

After all, in the playoffs, everyone will be the main force!Few of the Mavericks' single players can stand up to it!

On March 3, the Eagles ushered in the challenge of another rebuilding team, the Philadelphia 10ers, at home. Considering that the opponent is currently aiming to do badly, Ke Yan chose to rest Garnett in this game.

Two of the Big Three are not playing today, and this game is a test of Paul's ability to lead the team.

However, what frightens the fans is that even if the Big Three of the Eagles go to the second place, the lineup that this team can produce is still not bad. The starting lineup composed of Paul, Stevens, Battier, Webber and Diaw, Running in is also a fringe team in the playoffs?

Iverson and Webber left the team one after another, and the 76ers entered the state of the whole team. This team just actively chose to fight for a high draft pick, and its real strength is not easy to deal with.

Inguodala, Felton, Gerald Wallace, Dalembert and others have mediocre reputations, but their strength is acceptable. The game has entered a head-to-head match from the very beginning.

The Eagles quickly fell into a passive state, and their offense had problems.

Both Stevens and Diaw have baskets, but neither is consistent.In the absence of Garnett and Joe Johnson to create an offensive environment, they don't feel very good. The Eagles can only rely on Battier and Webber to assist Paul on the left and make some cooperation!

Although the Eagles regained some points by relying on Barea and Milicic in the transition period, they still couldn't fill the vacancy in the main lineup's firepower, and the Eagles have been lagging behind their opponents.

It's just that the reason why the 76ers chose to "play poorly" is because the team lacks a reliable star player at critical moments.

Although Yin Guodala is versatile, he really has no stable scoring methods.Better suited as a secondary than a main attacker.

In contrast, although Paul is not a person who can withstand critical moments, he is still a few grades more reliable than Inguodala. First, he used the pick-and-roll with Webber to make a big hit, and then he focused on Milicic and hit a double. Points, to help the team keep the victory!

最终，老鹰队107:102击败了76人队，继续自己冲击联盟第一的步伐（55-9）。
