After the end of the game with the Celtics, the Eagles continued their recent "devil schedule" and went to San Antonio to face their old rivals the Spurs.

In the playoffs of last season, Ke Yan was ready to face the Spurs head-to-head in the finals. As a result, the Spurs were killed by the Suns in the Western Conference semifinals, and the two teams failed to meet in the finals. one thing.

In this game, the two teams were left behind. Joe Johnson of the Hawks was injured, Paul was suspended, and only Garnett was left to support the team.

It seems that the loss of the Eagles is more serious, but in the last game, they still played a wonderful performance after Paul's absence, defeating the Celtics with the Big Three. No one dares to underestimate this Eagles. They're out of line.

Looking at the entire league, Duncan is the most taboo player for Keyan, not one of them.In order to limit Duncan, Keyan continued to send a "three high" lineup to deal with the Spurs. The lineup of Barea, Battier, Diaw, Garnett, and Anderson had an absolute advantage in height.

From the start of the game, however, the Spurs had the upper hand.Ke Yan was too afraid of Duncan's threat and raised the team's height, but somewhat ignored the threat posed by Parker, who was gradually reaching the peak.

The little French sports car made a sudden shot from inside and outside, and killed a seven-in and seven-out in the Eagles penalty area. Barea had nothing to do with him.

Since last season, Parker's mid-range threat has improved significantly. With his own top breakthrough threat in the league, he has huge lethality.Even if Paul was there, he might not be able to hold him down, let alone Barea.

Parker's explosion pressured the Eagles out of breath, and Battier's hands in the second quarter made the Eagles' already damaged lineup even worse. He pinned his knee in a defense, After persisting for a round, he finally lay down on the ground and stretched out his hand to indicate that he could not persist anymore.

The injury to the knee is no small matter. Keyan immediately replaced Battier with PJ Tucker and arranged for him to go to the hospital for medical treatment immediately.

For the Hawks, Battier's departure can be said to be "a leak in the house and rain at night", and the balance of victory has completely tilted towards the Spurs. 09:95, the Spurs won at home, giving the Eagles their second loss of the season.

Compared with losing, Ke Yan was more nervous about Battier's injury.Immediately after the game, Ke Yan contacted the accompanying team doctor to find out about Battier's latest situation.

"Sean took a film in the hospital, and the doctor gave him a mild sprain, not too serious, but it will take about half a month for physical therapy."

After getting this answer, Ke Yan breathed a sigh of relief.Other positions are fine. For athletes, the knee is the lifeline.In particular, Battier fell to the ground without confrontation, which is even more worrying.

"After returning to Atlanta, arrange for Sean to have another MRI. I want to make sure Sean's injury judgment is accurate!" Ke Yan emphasized.

. . . . . .

Paul's suspension, Battier's injury, and the thickness of the Eagles' outside lineup have been greatly affected; therefore, Joe Johnson, who had a muscle problem before and had a minor injury, asked Ke Yan to play.

In itself, Joe Johnson's muscle problem is not serious, and the team is facing a personnel crisis at this moment.Considering that the three starters will not play, the team's normal rotation will have serious problems, and it will also increase the burden on other players, Ke Yan agreed to Joe Johnson's request to play.

Joe Johnson's timely comeback is a good thing for the Eagles who have encountered some setbacks at the moment, and their opponents in the next game, the Miami Heat, do not have such a "savior". , Pat Riley believes that the team still has the strength of the top four in the Eastern Conference, at least in the playoffs.

However, as Ke Yan said to Larry Sander, even with the reinforcement of Daniel Gibson, the Heat still have many hidden dangers this season.

O'Neal has declined steadily since he joined the Heat. In the 0405 season, he ranked second in the MVP selection. He is a well-deserved super giant; Destructive power; in the 0506 season, O'Neal averaged 13 points and 10 rebounds per game. The data looked good, but he only played 0607 games; this season, O'Neal continued to decline, playing 21 games, averaging 9 points and 59 rebounds per game, In the case of not being able to digest the ball, there are still three turnovers per game.Obviously, he is no longer that sharp-toothed shark.

And Dwyane Wade's injury is much more serious than Pat Riley estimated.Although Wade insisted in interviews that he is 100% healthy, his performance in the game will not lie.It is reflected in the game. In the past seasons, Wade was a frequent visitor to the five best shots. After completing the confrontation in the air, he can still send the ball to the basket with his super core strength and excellent touch. This season, this kind of ball is basically I can't see it anymore; and his already weak mid-range and long-range jumper has dropped to a rather inefficient level, which is obviously the impact of the shoulder injury.

There were 10 games in the season, and the Heat had three wins and seven losses, showing poor performance.Although some fans think that the team just got off to a slow start and stayed strong in the regular season, and will definitely be able to show up when there is a crisis, practitioners have more or less seen the current situation where the Heat's building is about to collapse. Lee didn't have any eye-catching operations, and the Heat are quite dangerous this season!

After the game started, the Eagles quickly gained the upper hand.

In the last game, Ke Yan made a special trip to arrange defensive tactics for Duncan. In this game, facing the declining O'Neal, there is no need for this at all.Diaw and Garnett circled forward when they should, flanked when they needed to attack, and chopped the shark if they couldn't stand it. In fact, they didn't attack the shark a few times.

Although O'Neal's statistics are good, the Heat's overall offense is completely unplayable!There is only one player on the outside of the Heat, Gibson, who is good at catching and shooting. Wade and Ricky Davis all need to control the ball to develop their touch, and they are better at impact.

On the defensive end, O'Neal had a hard time defending against pick-and-rolls at his peak, and now at the end of his career when his athletic ability has declined sharply, it is even more difficult to create trouble for the Eagles' flexible and ever-changing pick-and-roll offense.

The Eagles established a 23-point lead in the first half, basically establishing the victory.Considering the team's relatively difficult schedule in the near future, Ke Yan replaced Garnett with Anderson in the second half of the game to give the Wolf King more rest time.

Compared to Paul, Garnett no longer cares so much about regular season statistics. In other words, although Garnett has some "tough guys" and some "death for money", he has never been a player who pays too much attention to statistics.

Ke Yanxue Zang Garnett's move seemed to Pat Riley a bit "exaggerated", and the magic operator also deliberately stormed the Eagles' inside line to narrow the point difference, but the effect was mediocre.Anderson is even more sloppy than Garnett to go around and interfere with receiving the ball, and he doesn't care how many fouls he has on his back. The "shark chopping" is much harder than Garnett.

In the half quarter of the game, O'Neal stood on the free throw line eight times and hit three of them. The point difference between the two sides not only did not narrow, but expanded to 25 points, and the suspense completely disappeared.

In the final quarter of the game, Pat Riley also gave up resistance and replaced most of the main players, leaving only Ricky Davis on the court to collect statistics. At 8:115, the Eagles defeated the Heat in an away game, and the team's score came to 9-2, which was only one step away from becoming the first team in the league to win in double figures.

After the whole game, 10 Eagles scored and 5 scored in double figures. Joe Johnson made 16 of 9 shots, 6 of 5 free throws, scored 25 points and 5 assists, and was the player with the most points in the Eagles.

The Heat's data is mainly contributed by O'Neal and Ricky Davis. The former is that the Eagles deliberately let him attack, and frequently fouled him to affect the Heat's overall offense; the latter is mainly a single quarter in the fourth quarter. After scoring 12 points, maybe Pat Riley is also regretting bringing this lone wolf who doesn't match the team's tactical style of play. Now let him use data to increase the value of the transaction, and find a way to get him away in the middle of the season, right?

. . . . . .

After a rather uncomfortable schedule, the Eagles got two days off.With the end of Paul's suspension, the team's main lineup only lacks Battier, and Ke Yan's formation will be slightly loosened. On January 1, the Eagles sat at the Phillips Center to face the Los Angeles Lakers who came from afar.

In the first round of two consecutive seasons, the Lakers are still unable to change the team's lineup due to the team's salary structure. What they did this offseason in the past was nothing more than signing the old fisherman Fisher.But this signing has significantly improved the strength of the Lakers. In the first 11 games of the season, the Lakers achieved a good result of seven wins and four losses, ranking fourth in the Western Conference.

As Phil Jackson's favorite player, Fisher's strength is not very strong, but he is the point guard who is most familiar with Zen Master's "triangle offense" system and knows his role in the system; The Lakers, a player who won three championships with the Lakers, Fisher may not have a good relationship with Kobe, but at least he is much more familiar with others, and most of the time he can act as a bridge between Kobe and other teammates.

The atmosphere in the Lakers team has improved a lot this season.This involves a "which came first, the chicken or the egg" question.No one can give an answer whether it is "the Lakers have good results so the atmosphere in the team is good" or "the Lakers have a good atmosphere in the team so the team performs better".

Before the start of the game, as usual, Ke Yan had "zero communication" with Phil Jackson. The conflict between the two had long been discovered by media reporters, but both of them were relatively decent, and they never mentioned the grievances of the year.Because of this, the media and fans only said that Ke Yan was dissatisfied with the Lakers finding Phil Jackson to replace him, but they didn't know the inside story.

On the contrary, Kobe, who tried to defect to Ke Yan last season, was a little upset afterwards, and his attitude towards Keyan was not very friendly; this season, he took the initiative to shake hands with Keyan, which even made Ke Yan a little "flattered".

I don't know the reason, but I feel that Kobe has really opened up himself a lot this season.

The Lakers sent a starting lineup of Fisher, Kobe, Radmanovich, Odom, and Kwame Brown, and put Ariza on the bench, which is exactly what Ke Yan wanted.Compared with Radmanovic, who is more mobile, Ariza looks more threatening.

The Eagles sent Paul, Joe Johnson, PJ Tucker, Garnett, and Diaw as starters.In the absence of Battier's escort, Joe Johnson faced Kobe directly. This is also a duel between the two top shooting guards in the league.

"Di-"

The referee blew the whistle for the opening of the game and threw the ball into the air. This action seemed to press a switch, attracting everyone's attention to the orange basketball flying into the air, and the game officially began. start!

Garnett and Odom flew up. Garnett took the advantage of his quick bounce to touch the ball first in the air and dialed the ball to the Eagles' backcourt. Tucker bent down to pick up the ball and crossed the ball. To Paul, the Eagles get the ball for the first offense.

The Lakers retreated very quickly. After Odom failed to jump the ball, he immediately retreated to the penalty area. Others also followed their opponents. Fisher immediately stepped forward to press Paul and interfered with his pass. ball vision.

In the playoffs last season, when the Jazz played against the Rockets, Fisher faced McGrady after many defensive rotations. He interfered with McGrady's shots with his own strong strength, showing his tough defense; but Fisher is good at top To defend against a high-strength and strong player, but there is nothing to do against a fast player. Usually, the horse strides, the trouser legs are pulled, and shouted, "Let me see how good you are", and then the opponent passes by. Watching the opponent attack the frame, "Hey, there are really two brushes".

Paul did the same with Fisher. He didn't even need to call a pick-and-roll. With a dribble change, he swayed the angle of breakthrough, easily broke into the basket, attracted Kwame Brown to defend and then sent a pass.Dior seldom inserted into the basket to eat the cake and dunked the ball into the basket. (2:0)

The Lakers served, and Fisher held the ball for half court. After handing the ball to Kobe, he made a pick-and-roll for Kobe immediately, just like Joe Johnson.Kobe immediately launched an attack, beat Paul face-to-face, and scored with a throw. (2:2)

In the first round of the opening round, both sides scored in the best way possible.
