Chapter 272 The Mavericks in Difficulty (Please Subscribe, Please Support)

The Rockets started with Hayes, and the Hawks double-teamed Yao Ming unscrupulously, suppressing the most stable scoring point of the Rockets.

It is the fourth season that Yao Ming and McGrady have teamed up. In the first three seasons, Yao Ming basically had a higher tactical status, but McGrady has a higher degree of freedom at critical moments; but this season, the core of tactics has obviously transitioned to Yao Ming On the other hand, this can also be seen from the fact that Yao Ming's playing time has skyrocketed to nearly 38 minutes by the season.

The defensive end resolutely double-teamed Yao Ming, and the offensive end seized Yao Ming's weakness in defense against pick-and-rolls, and Paul and Garnett continued to initiate pick-and-rolls to suppress Yao Ming.

This point of Paul may be the best point guard in the league in terms of personal offense and team organization, and he is good at three threats of shooting, rushing and passing, which is difficult for Yao Ming; and if Tracy McGrady or Barnes come Assisting in the defense, Paul can also find open teammates to attack the Rockets, which made it difficult for the Rockets to parry for a while, and the point difference quickly reached double digits.

In terms of defense alone, the Rockets are considered top-notch in the league, but facing the Hawks, who are a huge offensive threat, it is really difficult to parry!Only 2 minutes into the third quarter, Adelman adopted "collapse therapy", replaced Hayes with Scola, and "conquered just with just" with the Eagles.

Even if the team's head coach has changed from Van Gundy, who is good at defense, to Adelman, who is famous for "Princeton's offensive system", the Rockets' lineup structure is destined to be a slow-paced defensive team. So quickly complete the transformation of this Rocket team.Playing against the Eagles is really drinking poison to quench thirst.

Scola's appearance allowed Yao Ming to get some easy scoring opportunities, and the little giant also seized these opportunities, scoring more than 30 points in three quarters, but as the game progressed, it became more and more difficult for Yao Ming to balance the heavy tasks on both offense and defense. is also gradually declining.

The lack of physical strength under the intensity of NBA confrontation has also been Yao Ming's long-term weakness. Therefore, generally speaking, Yao Ming's performance is that as the game progresses, his deterrence is getting lower and lower.And on the technical level, Yao Ming also has his own weaknesses. His weak mobility makes him more afraid of going around the front to defend than other centers; his lack of coping ability and ball distribution awareness makes him often "wrongly" choose strong attacks, which wastes energy unnecessarily. .

Yao Ming's physical strength could not support the Rockets' offense, and Tracy McGrady began to assume more possession of the ball and shots.But the defender in front of him is Battier, and behind Battier there is Garnett to assist in the defense.

Tracy McGrady forced the Eagles two times, but failed to take advantage of it, and then began to free and pull up jumpers from the outside, making 8 of 3 shots.Although a considerable amount of ball power has been digested, the efficiency is really mediocre!

After the third quarter, the Eagles opened the point difference to 15 points.The balance of victory has clearly fallen to the Eagles.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Eagles kept Paul and Joe Johnson on the field, and matched the lineup of Barea, Bass, and Anderson to suppress the Rockets' bench lineup, gaining a clear upper hand.There are two organization points on the field, Barea can indulge in the impact on the field, and his performance is very vigorous.

In contrast, the Rockets' rookie Brooks this season is somewhat similar to Barea in style of play, but the help provided to the team is worlds apart.

In fact, if you want to talk about the starting point of the two, Brooks is a first-round pick after all, and Barea is only the 60th pick and was brought back by Ke Yan.But compared to "people make the best use of their talents and things make the best use of them", Ke Yan is not weaker than people.

The point difference has been widened to 20 points, which is already difficult for the Rockets, who do not have any explosive scoring power.Realizing the reality, Adelman changed into the main player and played for 3 minutes symbolically, but failed to recover the score, and decisively withdrew the main player to admit defeat.

At the end of the game, Ke Yan replaced players at the end of the bench such as Prigioni, Andre Ingram, and PJ Brown. To a certain extent, the Rockets recovered some points and gave Yao Ming some face. .

In the end, the Eagles defeated the Rockets 113:101 at home and won the Christmas game.

In the whole game, Yao Ming played 36 minutes and efficiently scored a 35+10 double-double performance; just talking about his personal performance, Yao Ming is enough to satisfy the florist fans.McGrady scored 23 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists, and his skills are relatively comprehensive.

The old problem of the Rockets is still that there is no third scoring point. A player of Scola's level is at most a qualified starter. If you count on him to be the third leader, then this team is at most the second round of the playoffs.

In contrast, the Hawks have improved by more than one level in terms of star quality and bench depth. Garnett played 34 minutes and scored 31 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists. He exploded the Rockets' inside line point-to-point .

Paul and Joe Johnson contributed 20+ steadily, and Paul also contributed 12 assists. This is the deputy at the championship level!

After the game, Ke Yan accepted an interview with Huo Qingshu and commented that this game saved the Rockets enough face: "This is a very high-quality confrontation. In fact, we don't have many opportunities to play against the Rockets. There are two games a year. The regular season, but I think they have the strength to impact the finals. This game seems to be easy for us to win, but Paul, KG, and Joe Johnson all scored high points, and our core players have played a lot A good performance ensures victory, and the victory in this game deserves our cheers."

When Ke Yan said this, the Rockets fans in China would have an orgasm.Sometimes fans are very subjective.If you make positive comments about the Rockets and Yao Ming, they will regard them as good words; but if you tell the truth and spread it to China through the media, they will say that you have a good style of writing and take it out of context.

The typical rumor is that Phil Jackson said that the Lakers had a chance to sign Yao Ming, and if Yao Ming and Kobe teamed up, the Lakers would be XXXXX.Anyone who has a superficial understanding of the NBA's statutes knows that this is completely impossible.

姚明02年以状元郎身份加入NBA,签下了一份2+1+1、总计为期四年的新秀合同;之后05年提前续约,签下了一份5年7600万的合同,合同时间从06年到11年,怎么可能有机会绕过火箭加盟湖人?

Considering Yao Ming's strength + commercial value, the Rockets did not stingy, and directly offered Yao Ming a maximum salary; taking a step back, even if the Rockets owner and management collectively brainstormed and wanted to lower Yao Ming's price, Yao Ming refused to renew his contract in advance , the result is that Yao Ming entered the free agent market in 06 and became a "restricted free agent". Other teams can offer him a 4-year 6400 million contract at most. The Rockets only need to be brainless. Yao Ming is still a Rockets player .

Based on Phil Jackson's words, fans have a whimsical theory that Yao Ming 06 rejected any contract offered by the Rockets, signed a qualifying contract, and then became a "completely free agent" in 07 before joining the Lakers.This move, not to mention the huge loss of income and considerable injury risk, also broke the unspoken rule of the league that "a rookie will play for his home team for at least seven years". If the league does not find an opportunity to ban him, the next labor agreement Negotiations, the management will collectively revolt!

After the press conference, Huo Qingshu, Yao Ming and some members of Yao's team gathered at Ke Yan's home to celebrate Christmas. Yao Ming even prepared a wedding gift for Ke Yan and Wang Lifan.

"He didn't say anything in advance. I didn't even know you were married until I read his interview." Yao Ming said to Wang Lifan.

"Don't talk about you, I didn't hear any rumors before! He hides too deeply!" Huo Qingshu followed behind and complained.

After all, Yao Ming is far away in Houston, but he has a good relationship with Ke Yan, which is quite far away from his life; Huo Qingshu is Ke Yan's closest friend, and they meet at least twice a week, watch football, eat, write articles, and interact a lot. She didn't even know that Ke Yan got married when he said he got married.

What a rational person he is usually!

"But marriage is supposed to be a product of passion!" Wang Lifan said with a smile on his eyes.

Rich and handsome, with a strong aura and top-notch business ability, he is a "creator" in China's sports history. Ke Yan's popularity in China kills both men and women. Men marvel at his achievements, while girls like him external.Such a character was "subdued" by Wang Lifan, and he was inevitably a little proud.

When everyone was chatting together, Huo Qingshu also took some photos with the camera from time to time, integrated them and posted them in his own post, which instantly attracted many JRS on the forum to stop.

"Ke Yan usually looks quite tall, but in front of Yao Ming, he is also a 'little bird and a man'."

"It's not surprising, it's all based on comparison. I always thought that Qingshu was 1.6 meters, but she is 1.7 meters in real life, taller than my sister-in-law (Never)!"

"I envy and thank Qingshu. I really like watching Ke Yan and Never in real life. I will post more similar photos in the future."

"Stop pretending, you just want to see sister-in-law!"

When Wang Lifan first appeared in front of the domestic "Ke Mi" as Ke Yan's girlfriend, Feng rated her as "half and half". A high-achieving student in a medical university, both in appearance and IQ, is better for Ke Yan than finding a female star.

However, in the past few years, the relationship between the two has been stable. Wang Lifan supports Ke Yan's career development, and will go to watch the game when he has time. He also returns to China with Ke Yan every year. He also attends events generously and earns a lot of favorability. In addition, Ke Yan's marriage declaration It directly stamped the husband-wife relationship between the two, and "Ke Mi" also directly changed his name to "sister-in-law", and recognized her more and more.

After everyone played for a while, Yao Ming approached Ke Yan alone, wanting to talk to him about some investment plans.

There is a "Yao team" around Yao Ming to take care of his own business value development, and Yao Ming has more than 10 companies under his own name, investing in industries such as red wine, beverages, health products, etc. Basically, every In the China Forbes Celebrity Ranking in 2, Yao Ming ranked first with an income of more than [-] million RMB!

But these are nothing compared to Ke Yan's investment in "YouTube". Although Ke Yan claimed to be "lucky", he just rented into Chen Shijun's home and invested some money because he felt that this project had potential; but Yao Ming would not believe this. Nonsense, the success of such a rational person as Ke Yan is only based on luck?

"To be honest, my investments are basically technology stocks, such as Google and Apple. The company I am more concerned about now is Tesla. They make new energy vehicles. I think this will be an outlet for future development. ,that's it."

Ke Yan tried his best to explain the reason why he was "victorious in all battles" in investment. As for whether Yao Ming would believe him or even invest with him, it was not up to Ke Yan to decide.

. . . . . .

After the Christmas game, the Eagles got 3 days of rest.Ke Yan gave the team a day off and no training until the 27th. All players went to the community to do charity and send warmth. Wang Lifan also participated as a family member.

After the event, Larry Sander found Keyan to discuss the latest progress of the "Shannon Brown deal".

In principle, the Bulls agreed to trade Shannon Brown, but they don't quite accept the double-teaming of "Karim Rush" or "Priggioni". They prefer to get PJ Tucker.

"Fuck, what are they thinking!"

Ke Yan was speechless for a while. PJ Tucker is the only real small forward substitute for the Eagles. Without him, the Eagles can only let Eddie Jones top or Bass comeo. The latter can only be used in certain situations, and he mainly plays the fourth position!

Moreover, Shannon Brown is basically the Bulls' sixth choice in the backcourt, and there are not many opportunities to play; Ke Yan tried to introduce him, mainly because he felt that the Hawks' current backcourt is too biased towards "projection", and wanted to add an active player. "Jumping Man".For him, sacrificing the rationality of the team's lineup is really not worth it.

"I also think so, so my opinion is to stop the transaction first, and then observe the reaction of the Bulls." Larry Sander put forward his own opinion.

"Yes! I will also try to find other candidates."

On December 12, the Eagles went on an expedition and flew to Dallas to challenge the Dallas Mavericks away.

The two teams were the top two teams in the regular season last season, and Garnett and Nowitzki were also the top two in the MVP list. The dialogue between the two teams should have been a "Mars hitting the earth" ".

However, the two teams have gone on completely different tracks this season.The Eagles have changed their bench lineup to ensure the integrity of the starting lineup. Although the team's performance has been fluctuating, it has been moving in a good direction. The so-called "slip" is just to keep up with last season compared to;

After the Mavericks traded for Kidd, they completely revolutionized the previous "all-player singles" tactical system, and instead let the old Kidd control the team's offense and facilitate more cooperation.

The huge change in tactical style made many players of the Mavericks uncomfortable. For example, Josh Howard, the team's second leader, his scoring average dropped from 18.7 points last season to 14.2 points this season. All have declined to varying degrees; if it is not for the tough defense, it is very likely that they have been traded by the team;

Another example is Jason Terry, the team's main point guard last season. After he swung to the second position, he was also incapable of accepting changes in his partner.Fortunately, compared to Howard, he runs slightly better off the ball and is more able to drive the bench. He is gradually transitioning to a "false starter" sixth man.

The performance of all members has declined, and the current record of the Mavericks is only ranked sixth in the Western Conference, which is the lowest point in recent years.The team's new head coach Carlisle also has Alexander on his shoulders!Kidd didn't integrate very well, and the media will advocate "invisible effects" to excuse him, Carlisle. . . . . .Back the pot!

Facing the Mavericks, who are not doing well recently, Ke Yan did not let the Eagles become a stepping stone for the Mavericks to reverse the decline. He very directly grasped the unfavorable running-in between the Mavericks players and the stagnant style of play and targeted them. , established a double-digit lead early on.

Throughout the whole game, the Mavericks have not been able to close the point difference to single digits, and they have no competitiveness at all.

In the end, the Mavericks lost to the Eagles 89:108 at home.

In an interview after the game, Ke Yan expressed his support for Carlisle: "Coach Carlisle is the best coach in the league who is good at tactical arrangements, and his on-the-spot adjustments are also the strongest in the league. I think the Mavericks have a poor record, and the responsibility is not entirely on him. .And every team’s transformation will fluctuate in record. But a certain degree of transformation is quite necessary for the team.”

Having said that, Ke Yan's presence may not be good news for Carlisle.After all, both Carlisle and Nowitzki "conferred a crown" in 11, and Nowitzki even relied on this crown to basically overwhelm Garnett in terms of reputation.

Now that Ke Yan is here, for the Mavericks, Carlisle, and Nowitzki, this championship may not be so easy to win.

PS: Recently, everyone is telling me that there is nothing to write about the plot of the Eagles, and it is suggested to change the map.Regarding this, I said in the "Report on the Shelf", that the book "Basketball Scientist" plans to have four maps, which will be promoted step by step.

In fact, the structure of the book somewhat imitates the "Basketball Pope" by the great master Tucao. It is all the way of "assistant coach-head coach of a small city team-head coach of a big city team-buy a team and become the owner".Of course, Ke Yan's tendency to choose a team is very different from Yang Rui's. Yang Rui may be more fond of playing, so he is obsessed with going to big cities; Ke Yan may prefer a comfortable living environment, so the fourth map , Buying a football team as the owner must be a city that is relatively friendly to the Chinese. (Maybe some book friends don't care about these, but I have some obsessive-compulsive disorder myself).

Back to the issue of "changing the map", considering the cool layout of the book, I can't write about the team's "bad" team competing for the top pick, but you have just taken over a "bad team" and have no space or resources. A bunch of bad contracts (forget about calling names directly), basically "the gods are hard to save", you can only rely on the draft to get the core, so the timing of taking over the team is very important.I set it in 09, because the summer of 10 was the busiest free agent market in history.

In the first half of this month, a lot happened to me.The elders passed away, wisdom teeth became inflamed, old problems recurred, etc.In the second half of the month, I will work extra hard on the update, and the update has been much more ruthless recently, and I hope everyone will continue to support it.
