On January 1, the Eagles traveled to Toronto to play against the Toronto Raptors.

The two teams have traded frequently in recent years. In the process of the Eagles repeatedly strengthening the lineup through transactions, the Raptors are the targets of "cooperative crimes", but sometimes they can take advantage of it, and sometimes they can only suffer!

For example, in the recent big deal involving four teams, the Raptors are the winners. After "joining" the Raptors, the parallel importer Kwame Brown quickly replaced another "parallel importer" Barryani in the starting position. , became the Raptors' starting center.Immediately, the Raptors replaced the 7 wins and 4 losses in the next 3 games.

This result is not outstanding, but it is a signal for the Raptors to reverse the decline.The team spent more than [-] million yuan to introduce Lewis in the summer, so they can't even make it to the playoffs.

In terms of tactics, Kwame Brown and the Raptors are also a "natural match". The original lineup of the Raptors highlights the word "soft". people output.Kwame Brown, a rough guy who joined, has no other skills. He is hard-pressed in the low position, plus grabbing rebounds.

In the seven games he joined the Raptors, Kwame Brown averaged 8 points, 12 rebounds and 2 blocks per game, which is completely the performance of a top blue-collar coolie.If he can play this performance in the Lakers, Lakers fans will not abandon it.

But, even though the team has been strengthened, the Raptors' hard power is incomparable to that of the Eagles, let alone the Eagles, who are almost at full health after two days of rest!

As soon as the game started, the Raptors were overwhelmed by the Eagles.

Garnett still has some strength on the offensive end. He and Duncan both quit the 20+10+5 club this season.

On the defensive end, however, Garnett called Bosh a "blood suppression."Barryani retreated to the bench to play the sixth man, and Bosh assumed more responsibilities on the offensive end. Most of the time, he digested this part of the ball very well, and his statistics have also steadily improved.But when he met Garnett, Bosh couldn't get up. He made 10 of 2 shots in the half game and scored 7 points by free throws.

The team's "big master" has no way to open up the situation, and the contribution of other firepower points of the Raptors is also quite limited. The team only Lewis can contribute some points piecemeal, but after all, it is a drop in the bucket.

1月29日，老鹰客场1o1比85击败奇才。

The head star Arenas suffered a knee injury, and the season (report) fell (lost), and the Wizards were changed to Butler and Jamison as the masters, and the record did not decline too much.

However, this kind of stability is more because the team is not easy to lose the game because of Arenas' "waves", but the Wizards' competitiveness against strong teams is definitely declining.Not to mention, Jamison meeting Garnett is no different from a mouse meeting a cat.

One of the two main scoring points was directly strangled. No matter how much Butler jumps, the Wizards will not be able to turn the sky.

The Hawks won three straight games with ease, but there were also personnel losses in this game. Diaw was hit by Heywood in a rebound fight, causing a fracture and is expected to miss six weeks.

Although there is a holiday cover for the All-Star Weekend, the next time Diaw appears on the team roster will basically have to wait until the end of the season.Even if the team insists on "small injuries and big recovery", it does not rule out the possibility of Dior resting directly until the playoffs.

If Diaw's injury shakes the foundation of the Eagles, will there be some suspense about whether the regular season championship will be counted?

. . . . . .

The last game in January, the Eagles had an easier game against the Bobcats, with Iverson out and the Bobcats' offense messing up, the Eagles won easily 1-4.

In the middle of the season, Iverson suffered two injuries of different degrees in succession, resting for 6 games and 10 games in a row. The performance of the Bobcats plummeted, falling from seventh in the East to No.12 in the East.He gambled heavily on "Snyder + Iverson", but the team still failed to advance to the playoffs for two consecutive seasons. Joe's boss was very upset, and even "killed" Snyder.

There are some things, in fact, "natural disasters and man-made disasters", if Ke Yan took over the Lakers half of the season, Kobe also suffered injuries one after another, no matter how powerful Ke Yan is, he will be caught blind!

But sometimes, luck is also part of strength.Just like Ke Yan encountered some twists and turns in the process of choosing the Eagles, but among the teams that invited him, the Trail Blazers were richer, and the Magic had a ready-made team core Howard, but Ke Yan still did not hesitate to send the Eagles. The team became the first choice and even gave the Eagles two chances.

why?

Just because this team has a weak foundation and doesn't have too many junk contracts, it is easy to operate, and at the same time supports its own work.

Money or not, when you achieve results, you will have it naturally.Ke Yan led the Eagles to achieve good results, and the Eagles tripled his salary in a hurry!Almost close to the contract that the richest Trail Blazers at the time could offer.

In contrast, the timing of Snyder taking over the Bobcats itself is not so good!At the beginning of the season, the team looked poor and weak. Such a team would either fight to the end, or make a big deal and use strong medicine!Snyder was eager to make results, and brought Iverson to the team. Coupled with the bloody effect of "the new official took office with three fires", he helped the Bobcats achieve some results, and then?

After the chicken blood period, the team's performance declined; Iverson's age was here, and injuries began to increase.Other players have not improved significantly, and Milicic, an important signing in the summer, cannot save the team.

Even, Snyder missed a championship ring.

For himself, it really hurts.

After the game, Keyan, Snyder, Hamblen, and Hornacek had dinner together again.

Snyder's situation is not very good, and it is not ruled out that he will be fired at any time. If he can't find another job, Ke Yan is still very happy to see Snyder's name on the coaching staff list for next season.

After all, there is no doubt about Snyder's coaching ability. This failure experience is both wealth and vigilance for him. Next time he wants to leave Keyan casually, he has to think clearly.

On February 2, the Eagles embarked on a last-ditch western expedition before the Spring Festival. The first game was the Portland Trail Blazers in the City of Torn.

Oden's season reimbursement failed to prevent the rise of the young guards of the Trail Blazers. After completing a wave of 13 consecutive victories last season and taking the top two rookies of the year, the Trail Blazers have further improved this season.

Brandon Roy has grown into a shooting guard second only to Kobe and Wade in the league. Ke Yan said that he is not afraid of offending Tracy McGrady's fans, nor is he afraid of the glassy heart of Joe Johnson in the team.

Aldridge also has great potential. He has low-post singles skills that are rare in the new generation of insiders; at the same time, he can evacuate the penalty area and complete straight-arm jumpers one step inside the three-point line; he, like Garnett, has the height of a center. But setting himself at the position of power forward, he never suffers from his height, and he also has an advantage in competing for rebounds; even Aldridge has a good personality.

In the first round of the season, the Trail Blazers defeated the Eagles in an away game. Roy scored 42 points and hit a quasi-lore, officially announcing the rise of the Trail Blazers.

In this game, due to Dior's injury, Anderson continued to serve as the team's starting center, guarding the team's interior with Garnett.

Aldridge beat Garnett on the jump ball, "I'm afraid of the young and strong". Aldridge has average bounce, but his height and wingspan are better than Garnett's. The bounce height is average, and he can't stand the fast bounce.

The players pulled away, Aldridge picked and rolled, Roy broke through with the ball, Anderson immediately switched defenses, Roy passed the ball in the middle, and Aldridge caught the ball. There was no way to take the first shot because Garnett's defense was too fast.

Aldridge paused and gave the ball to Webster who was running. Battier was the main defense. Webster failed to break through.

The Eagles attack, Paul controls the ball to the frontcourt, not fast, and protects the basketball.

Joe Johnson and Garnett made an off-ball screen, received the ball in the middle, and without a screen, it was a three-pointer when the face frame was pulled up. Roy was a step slower in defense and did not have time to interfere.Joe Johnson's ball has a very flat arc, the shot is very positive, and it hits. 0:3.

The Trail Blazers attacked, Joe Johnson defended Roy in the middle, and Aldridge came up to the pick-and-roll. Roy cooperated with him in a fake pick-and-roll and completed a breakthrough in reverse.

In later generations, many fans who have never watched Roy play will question Roy's strength. After all, from the perspective of resume, Roy has only played in the first round twice in his career, and his personal statistics in the regular season are not outstanding.But in fact, during the peak years of the Lakers' two consecutive championships, the team that was least afraid of the Lakers in the league was the Trail Blazers. The famous game played by Roy VS Kobe far exceeded 23VS24.

Why didn't the Trail Blazers break through the first round?Because there are too many injured wives!Roy's data also looks average?Because McMillan is a Sloan-type coach, the excellent talent of the team has been polished by him into a team that focuses on defense and does not play fast breaks. Grab it, the third reason may be that the physical fitness is limited, so some selective efforts are made. . . . . .

Without Diaw, the Eagles couldn't play some offensive routines.The core players need to undertake more heavy offensive tasks.Paul held the ball across half court and passed the ball to Garnett, who wanted the ball in the low post. The latter leaned back against Aldridge, turned to the baseline, and scored with one-handed cricket. 2:5.

The Trail Blazers and the Jazz, the two opponents of this wave of western tours, are not easy to deal with, and Garnett no longer "paddles" and begins to take on more offense.

The Blazers' offense was initiated by Roy's blast against Joe Johnson. Roy is not considered a fast player, but against Joe Johnson, Roy unexpectedly found that he was the "dominant" side. With the change of the ball rhythm and the adjustment of the dribble point, Roy suppressed Joe Johnson with an aggressive "extremely strong" start, and then connected with a large frontal change of direction to shake out the angle of the shot, and shot a mid-range jumper.

"Shh!"

Accompanied by the cheers of the home fans, Roy returned to defense while high-fiving his teammates.

06 was a young year in the draft. With the chips in the hands of the Eagles, they are fully capable of intercepting Huroy if they want to, but Ke Yan did not do so. On the one hand, the team used most of the chips to get Garnett , Contributing to the Big Three; on the other hand, considering that Paul and Roy are both quite possessive of the ball, they are very incompatible.

On Roy's side, the opening performance was very good, and Paul also responded quickly.Facing Blake's defense, Paul relied on his excellent dribbling rhythm to start and stop quickly, which disrupted Blake's defensive focus, and made a low-handed layup before Pritzbilla's supplementary defense! (4:7)

The Blazers attack, Roy holds the ball outside the three-point line, waits for Webster to run off the ball from the side, and divides the ball. Webster catches the ball to attract Anderson to switch defenses, holds the ball to open up space, and Aldridge Air cut.

Webster hung the ball over, Aldridge caught the ball and leaned on Battier and turned into the penalty area, took the ball with both hands and shook his shoulders, raised Battier's toes, raised his hands, raised his center of gravity, and then Take a step forward and take off, and throw the ball with your left hand from close range. 6:7.

The Eagles attacked, Ganeta forced a breakthrough with the ball at the free throw line, made an emergency stop and made a jump shot, but failed to completely get rid of the defense.

This European insider originally stayed in the team as Oden's substitute, and he was a bit reluctant to serve as the starting lineup.However, his conscientious style of play and the relatively complete defensive style of the Trail Blazers can just form an organic complement, and the effect is actually good.

Immediately after landing, Pritzbilla gave the ball to Roy. The latter led the half court to control the ball to stabilize the rhythm, and did not take advantage of the opportunity to switch offense and defense!

It is true that the youngsters of the Trail Blazers are not as talented as the Goose City San Shao, and they cannot play a thunderous fast-break counterattack, but it is not impossible to grasp this kind of offensive and defensive transition opportunities. The train of thought somewhat stifles their basketball awareness.

But it's strange to say that, generally speaking, most of the coaches who stick to tactical discipline are academic coaches, like Larry Brown; as a "practical school", McMillan's tactical style should be more free, and the result is a "Sloan successor" , which is really hard to understand.

Maybe it was a little tired after the continuous strong attack of positional battles. Roy made a mistake in handling the ball next, and was intercepted by Paul.The Eagles will not be polite to the Trail Blazers, and directly launched a three-line fast break. Birdman Anderson rushed more fiercely than anyone else, flattening the Trail Blazers' defense, but it was Anderson behind him who succeeded, he was at the free throw line One step inside to catch the ball and score a layup.

If he was young, Garnett would be able to dunk the ball in this position with a high probability, but now, he is really old.

"Unknowingly, many players who grew up with the fans have also entered the end of their peak. The styles of Duncan and Garnett are changing. The scepter of the league will gradually transition to James, Paul, Howard, etc. In the hands of young people." Seeing this scene, Yogi said with emotion.

Since the opponents of the 07 Finals were not the Spurs and Cavaliers, Duncan had no chance to say that famous quote to James.And what he changed was not only the fate of Duncan and James, many people and many things would change because of his existence.

The Trail Blazers continued to attack in positional battles. Compared with Bosh and Jamison, who were completely blocked by Garnett in the previous games, Aldridge's performance was much tougher. Being able to play Garnett hard in the low post is tougher than Ke Yan expected.

It is indeed the "little basic skills" that Ke Yan has praised many times by name!
