Chapter 250 The Celtics 3 giants (please subscribe, please support)

In the next few days, the free agent market will continue to turbulent.

The Eagles are the "defending champions" and Garnett, the double MVP of last season, is naturally the first choice for many veterans.

Eddie Jones, a veteran who played for the Heat last season, contacted Larry Sander through his agent, planning to come to the Eagles to compete for the championship.

At his peak, Eddie Jones used to be the starting backcourt of the Eastern All-Stars, and his ability is beyond doubt; after gradually aging, his transformation into a 3D player is relatively successful, but he is also one of the most unlucky players in his NBA career.

After entering the league in 94, he has been playing for the Lakers. Kobe was his substitute. He was traded by the Lakers in 99 and just missed the three consecutive championships behind the Lakers;

After several twists and turns, he joined the Heat and became teammates with O'Neal in 04. As a result, he was traded to the Grizzlies by the Heat after the 0405 season, in exchange for Jason Richardson, and missed the Heat's 0506 season championship.

Last season, he reached a buyout agreement with the Grizzlies, returned to the Heat as a free agent, and became O'Neal's teammate again. He averaged 9.5 points per game, and his performance was acceptable.It's just that Wade's injury greatly affected the team's combat effectiveness. The Heat were easily killed by the Eagles in the Eastern Conference Finals.Seeing that O'Neal is aging, the Heat are going to "wreck the ship", Eddie Jones "joins if he can't beat it", and wants to take the "hardest road".

Of course, Ke Yan wants a more dynamic young player like Stevens, but even if he is a time traveler, it is not so easy to pick up the leak. Being able to dig a Bass and an Anderson is already a bonus brought by his high reputation. up.

The team's invincible starting lineup must be based on the relatively weak bench lineup, especially when the boss has mediocre financial resources and places a lot of restrictions on him, and Garnett has a super contract of 2100 million in the team.

After studying the roster in the free agency market and evaluating Eddie Jones' state last season, Ke Yan finally agreed to sign with the veteran.

Immediately afterwards, the Eagles signed the old general Tucker with a basic salary. So far, the preliminary construction of the team lineup has been completed.

PG: Paul Barea

SG: Joe Johnson Eddie Jones

SF: Shane PJ Tucker

PF: Garnett Bass

C: Dior Anderson PJ Brown

On the surface, the team's lineup depth has declined slightly compared to the previous game, but the actual combat effectiveness does not necessarily show a downward trend.

The improvement of Paul's point is the key. Historically, Paul has grown into an MVP-level player in the 0708 season, and pushed the MVP battle between himself and Kobe to the last match in the regular season. Whoever wins is the MVP.Although he lost in the end, there are still many fans complaining about Paul.

The Eagles are not the Hornets, and good results are taken for granted. It may not be conducive to Paul's "leading attributes" being recognized by the judges, but continuous improvement is always okay.Shocking for a while, this is the goal set by Ke Yan for Paul.

Including the most serious point of the team's decline on the surface, the decline in the defensive ability of the backcourt can be covered up by Paul's progress.

Before returning to China, Keyan arranged for Anderson, Tucker, and Barea to participate in the team's summer league. For the three young people, this is an opportunity to prove themselves. The Eagles still have four positions vacancy.If they don't perform well in summer league, teams can always sign someone else to replace them.

And Larry Sander and the team's scouting team will continue to scan the free market to find suitable backup point guards and wing substitutes.

"The first Chinese championship coach in NBA history",

"Chris Paul's Lead"

"Master Offensive"

Returning to his hometown with a series of titles, Ke Yan returned to his hometown. When he left the airport, there were hundreds of reporters waiting at Pudong International Airport, and he didn't know where they got the flight information.

"Oh my god, this is too crazy!" Wang Lifan had never seen such a battle in the United States, so he started chasing and intercepting him as soon as he got out of the airport!

"Because you underestimated my achievements~, except for not playing for the country, I am almost the same as Yao Ming, Liu Xiang, and Ding Junhui. I am a business card of Huaxia Sports." Ke Yan said with a smile, "It just so happens that the Olympic Games are coming soon. Do it, and catch up with the time when people pay the most attention to sports.”

This sounds a bit Versailles, but it's really not nonsense.There was no championship before, and Ke Yan was a little worse than Yao Ming. After all, Yao Ming had the advantage of "preconceived" and played on behalf of the national team, with the attribute bonus of "national hero"; but after the Eagles won the championship, Ke Yan It can also be regarded as "seal the wolf and live in Xu", and achieved the only achievement of Asians, which is completely different.

The car from Sioux City Sports Bureau made a special trip to pick up the plane at Pudong International Airport. Ke Yan simply answered a few questions from the reporter and cooperated with the reporter to take a few photos before leaving the airport.

Ke Yan's breakthrough in the United States is also an achievement for the leadership team of his hometown sports bureau. Considering that Ke Yan's father, Ke Jinghui, is the office director of the sports bureau, this relationship is even more "close".Because of this, the city stepped up the promotion of Ke Yan. Seeing himself all over the street, Ke Yan also realized the true feelings of the phrase "wealth and honor do not return home, like a night walk in brocade clothes".

At this time, a big news broke out in the United States. The Celtics sent Gerald Green, Ryan Gomez, Al Jefferson and Sebastian Tell Four Phil players, plus a 2009 first-round pick, in exchange for Jermaine O'Neal of the Indiana Pacers!Since then, Ray Allen, Pierce, and O'Neal have formed the Big Three of the Celtics!

The 29-year-old O'Neal was able to send out 20+10+3 data last season, a slight decline compared to his peak period, but he is still the insider with the most comprehensive offensive skills in the league.With the decline of the Pacers' competitiveness, it is difficult for Jermaine O'Neal to lead the team to compete for the championship. The team also needs to be completely rebuilt to get rid of the negative impact of the Palace of Auburn Hills incident. Al Jefferson, as a rookie in 04, can Together with Granger, become the core of the Pacers' reconstruction.

The formation of the Big Three allowed the Celtics to instantly restore their top-level combat power. Fans of the Celtics are looking forward to Jermaine O'Neal's echo with Pierce and Ray Allen to help the Celtics get the 17th place in team history. and the Pacers fans scolded Larry Bird, thinking that he was a spy sent by the Celtics!

The timing of Ainge's formation of the Big Three is very timely. The current free agent market still has a group of elite players who have the ability to win the championship. The Celtics, who are more willing to spend money than the Eagles, can sign more powerful role players.

Almost shortly after Jermaine O'Neal officially announced his joining, former Eagles player James Posey signed with the Celtics on a two-year, 2 million contract to serve as Pierce and Ray Allen's substitute.This is a signing whose benefits far outweigh the risks. In the past two seasons, Posey's shooting touch was not stable, and his outside shooting percentage was only about 700%; but his defensive ability ensured his value. The Celtics played against the Cavaliers With the Hawks, Posey can provide confrontation to James and Joe Johnson.

In addition to James Posey, the Celtics are also actively pursuing the return of Reggie Miller, who is rumored to be interested. (real event)

That night, Xu Yi called Ke Yan and asked him what he thought of the Celtics as a potential opponent.

"The offensive power of O'Neal, Pierce and Ray Allen is unquestionable. I am optimistic that they can achieve more than 60 wins in the regular season. But if their defense can't form an organic whole, they still can't beat the Eagles. "Ke Yan said confidently.

The Celtics in history, although Pierce took the FMVP, but the boss and first core of the team is definitely Garnett!The defensive system dominated by Garnett is the key to the Celtics' strength. Young people such as Perkins and Rondo have honed their tough defensive ability just by Garnett's side.

Under the butterfly effect, Jermaine O'Neal joined the Big Three instead of Garnett. His offensive lethality may be comparable to Garnett's, but his defensive coverage and deterrence are much worse than Garnett's. The Celtics It's hard to build a defense around him.

"As far as the current lineup of each team is concerned, which team do you think is the greatest threat to the Eagles?" Xu Yi asked.

"I guess some teams will make big moves in the future. But if they are all existing lineups, then the Celtics may be the closest opponent to us."

These words are very arrogant, and some look down on the Spurs, Suns and Mavericks in the West, but it is not without reason that Ke Yan is so confident.

The problem of the Spurs stems from the decline of Duncan's singles ability. Shifo is no longer the god of war who knelt on the ground and sang "Conquer" by Ke Yan who hammered two years ago. The Spurs' offensive power is shifting to Parker on the outside, but the Eagles With Paul in the team, they are not too afraid of the offensive system led by Parker; and because of his age, Bowen's perimeter defense is also declining, and he is notorious. Any controversial moves by him will be hit harder by the referee, which also affects the Spurs. The perimeter defense, the Spurs inevitably entered a transition period.

The Suns' problems were exacerbated. They sent James Jones and Fernandez with the No. 21 pick to the Blazers in the offseason in exchange for a sum of cash. The purpose of this deal was to save money.The Eagles packaged Gibson and sent Hassel away at least to clean up the junk contract. The Suns did not care about it completely to save money. This kind of team building idea greatly damaged the team's already weak bench lineup.

The Mavericks' trade of Harris for Kidd is really a double-edged sword.The strength of this team is based on the players' extremely strong singles ability, and a simple pick-and-roll can punish the opponent.In exchange for Kidd, it is tantamount to overthrowing the team's offensive system. Starting over, everyone has to adapt to Kidd. This re-running process will be very long and not easy.

Ke Yan gave a detailed explanation, and Xu Yi kept recording it here, and planned to include it in his article after sorting it out: "Then which team do you think will be the dark polo team in the new season?"

"I don't think any team will become a dark horse. But if you ask me which team will rise, I will choose the Trail Blazers. Roy and Aldridge were the two best rookies last season. Their The potential is great. The Blazers also brought in floor fluid point guard Blake, who is a good fit with Roy."

"Yes, they still have Oden, so it's normal to enter the playoffs!" Xu Yi nodded, agreeing with Ke Yan's answer, "It's not impossible to directly enter the top four in the Western Conference."

"Youth Army, it's not bad to enter the playoffs." Ke Yan shrugged and said with a smile.

You can't predict in advance that Oden will be reimbursed for the season, can you?That is no longer a magic stick, it will be pulled to slice.

"Thank you." Supported by the professional advice given by Ke Yan, Xu Yi became more confident in the accuracy and professionalism of his article. "When you come back this time, do you have time to give me an exclusive interview?"

"Let's forget it this year. I'm too tired after playing in the finals, and the rest time is short. Apart from some necessary activities, I don't want to have other burdens. I plan to walk around with Never."

It stands to reason that Ke Yan is in the limelight now, and business cooperation abounds, so he should be very busy; but this summer, he really turned down most of the business cooperation and simply took a vacation.

Investing in youtube allowed him to quickly accumulate a net worth of nearly 2 million US dollars.Right now, he has reinvested his own money and bought a large number of Apple stocks to wait for appreciation. In the future, there will be a more detailed "traveler investment plan", so there is really no need to worry too much about himself.

To coach a team is to win a championship, but at the same time, you must also be a "champion of life".
