The season has entered the sprint stage of the last 11 games, and the teams on the edge of the playoffs are the most desperate.In the ecology of the NBA, it is not shameful to be at the bottom, which means that the team can get the highest draft pick next season and start the road to reconstruction the fastest; the worst team is the lottery winner, the 13th pick You can also choose a shooting guard to take a gamble, the 14th pick, it is difficult to get a strong player with immediate combat power.

At this time, the high-ranking Eagles sometimes inadvertently make a decision that can determine the fate of the team below.Last season, the "inadvertent" operation of the Eagles determined that the Nets "escaped from death" and the Wizards fell into hell.

This season, at the same time when the Wizards and the Nets competed for the playoffs, the Eagles got another chance to "determine" the fate of the two teams.

Arenas was reimbursed for the season, and the Wizards played more team and more reasonable basketball.Caron Butler, who has always been "brave and foolhardy", averaged 22.1 points, 7.5 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game this season, washing away his "reckless" persona; For scoring, Jamison is definitely a top scorer in the league; with Daniels, Stevens, Haywood and other players who work harder on the defensive end, the "combat power" of the Wizards has not declined significantly.

In this game, the Eagles ushered in Diaw's comeback, and the French magician entered the team's bench lineup to find the feeling of the game; the Eagles rested Paul for the first time in this game.

Although a little unhappy, Ke Yan's prestige in the locker room is still restrained, and Paul will not confront him; moreover, the Big Three and even Battier have daily rotations, and everyone sacrifices their individual performance in the regular season to ensure To compete for the championship in a better state, Paul is not good at doing anything special.

The Eagles hid Paul in the snow, the Wizards saw a chance to win, and the players' fighting spirit became even stronger!

It's just that the key to the Eagles' Tianke Wizards is not Paul, but Garnett's strong suppression of Jamison. This game once again confirmed Garnett's "blood suppression" of this type of power forward.Facing Garnett's defense, Jamison made 12 of 2 shots and 15 of 5 shots in the game, scoring only 13 points.

In the case of Arenas being reimbursed for the season, the Wizards need Butler and Jamison to absorb more possessions and bring more output; Jamison is suppressed, but Butler is naturally alone, and his performance has improved. , but after all, it is not James, who does not have the ability to kill seven in and seven out of the Eagles' defense alone.

For the Eagles, Barea, who was put on the starting lineup, also performed poorly, and his offensive handling of the ball was unreasonable.But fortunately, with the help of Joe Johnson and Garnett, plus the team's rock-solid defense, it didn't make the Wizards close to the score.

In the end, the Eagles defeated the Wizards 102:89 away. (57-15)

. . . . . .

On March 3, the Eagles, who returned to their home court, ushered in the civilian team Philadelphia 24ers at home.

After trading away Iverson, the 76ers quickly promoted the team's reconstruction.The team obtained two potential rookies in the trade of Iverson, and supplemented two high-potential rookies Braden Wright and Thaddeus Young through the operation of the 07 draft year. With Iguodala, the team It is called "high reconstruction".

In view of the fact that the rookies in the team lack singles points in the absolute sense, most of them are swingers with outstanding athletic ability, Cheeks has developed a tactical idea of ​​"defensive counterattack". , pushing fast breaks and counterattacks whenever there is a chance; and in the positional offense, Iguodala and Gerald Wallace are also slowly honing the offensive ability of holding the ball. With the improvement of the young people of the team, 76 Ren's record has gradually climbed to sixth in the Eastern Conference.

From a certain point of view, this team has a shadow of the later "Denver Athletics", but the "track and field attributes" of that Nuggets team are more focused on the offensive end, and the lineup is thicker; The 76ers are too immature and lack a player like Gallinari who can more or less forcefully score.

The 76ers are currently ranked sixth in the East, but they are only two games ahead of the Nets, which is ninth in the East, and their place in the playoffs is not stable.For a place in the playoffs, Iguodala and Gerald Wallace showed a desperate fighting spirit in this game. Defensive pressure put tremendous pressure on the Eagles.

As the playoffs are approaching, the far-leading Eagles don't want to go head-to-head with the 76ers; even on the stage of the playoffs, Ke Yan doesn't want to touch a team like the 76ers, in case there are any personnel losses.It's also in the Hawks' interest to have the 76ers ranked higher and create problems for other teams.

The final score was fixed at 93:100, and the Eagles lost at home. (57-16)

After winning this unexpected victory, the 76ers' hopes of advancing to the playoffs have greatly increased, and we can look forward to more!

. . . . . .

On March 3, the Eagles played back-to-back against the Bobcats.In itself, if Snyder continues to coach and the Bobcats have the hope of advancing to the playoffs, Ke Yan will rotate in this game to give his old friend face; We have to see how much the team under Joe's gang is worth.

Paul and Joe Johnson vented all their depression of losing in the last game to the Bobcats.

Coming from the 76ers to the Bobcats, Iverson is still the team's most aggressive player. This season, he averaged 26.9 points per game. There is no doubt about his tough scoring ability, but there is no doubt about his decline and his style of play that hurt the team. The rhetoric never stopped.

With Snyder leaving the team, Iverson may continue to be put on the shelves this summer. For this former superstar, the end of his career is indeed a homeless one.

It was rare for Ke Yan not to arrange for the main players to clock in three quarters while securing the victory. The people on the court more or less guessed that Ke Yan wanted to vent his anger on Snyder, and played even harder. The point difference once reached 45 points. Even if the referee doesn't pull the frame a little bit, the point difference may be widened to 50 points.

Fortunately, at the end of the fourth quarter, Matt Carroll "stepped up" and scored 3 three-pointers in a row, bringing the point difference back to 30+, avoiding a record-breaking loss in team history.

135：97，老鹰队主场38分大胜山猫队。（58-16）

. . . . . .

The regular season is drawing to a close, and predictions about individual honors in the regular season are also flooding the pages of major media.

Of course, the most concerned must be the MVP. Since the record of the Cavaliers is quite far behind that of the Hawks and Lakers, James, who has the most personal data, has gradually withdrawn from the MVP competition, basically becoming Kobe and Paul. fight.

The statistics of the two are equally outstanding. Kobe’s advantage is his absolute leadership in the Lakers, the impression points bonus brought by unsolvable singles, and the advantage of 9 years of experience accumulated over Paul; Paul is more in line with the original "MVP" Annotation, namely "MostValuablePlayer", "best player on the best team".

However, the number of times the NBA awards the MVP directly to the best player of the regular season championship team is not many, so it is really difficult to define how much the advantage of Paul's record is.The media even has a disgusting saying, "Paul is still young, and he still has opportunities in the future; Kobe needs this honor to be sure."

Oh TUI~!

The most popular player for DPOY, or Defensive Player of the Year, is still Camby of the Nuggets.This is nothing to say, because Camby has won DPOY again and again, this award has almost become a parallel honor!

Howard and Garnett are more deterrent on the defensive end, but Howard's awareness of defensive data is not as good as Camby's. Garnett's playing time is too short, which affects the accumulation of data. This honor has a high probability of being won by Camby.

The honor of the best sixth man is basically tailor-made for Ginobili. Terry of the Mavericks changed to play the sixth man in the second half of the season. His scoring ability may be able to touch Ginobili's side, but Other aspects are far worse.From Keyan's point of view, "The best sixth man = Ginobili".

There is no problem for Turkoglu to win the most improved player. The Turk is the offensive commander of the Magic. He has excellent shooting organization and a big heart. kill the king".

As for the best rookie, there is no suspense.Aside from Oden, who has been out for a year, Durant is the leader of this year's rookies in terms of immediate combat power and upper limit.As for Yi Jianlian, his basic statistics are not bad, but his attendance rate, efficiency, and performance on the field are not very good, and they are not considered at all.

Although Paul's chances of winning are not high, Ke Yan still spoke for Paul after the Hawks beat the Heat 107:86. (59-16)

"In my opinion, MVP is used to praise the player who performed the best in the season and contributed the most to the team's victory, rather than simply the strongest player. If the definition of MVP is the latter, the next few seasons can be Go directly to Kobe, or even to him in the past few seasons; but if it's more about performance, I'd vote for Paul."

While blatantly supporting Paul, Ke Yan also secretly praised Kobe, admitting that Kobe is the best in the league.When Kobe heard this, he could also understand Ke Yan's position. After all, he wanted to support his own players!

. . . . . .

In the last game in March, the Eagles were a guest at Staples to challenge another team in Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Clippers.

Since Livingston, Brand and Kaman suffered serious injuries in the middle of the season, the Clippers also gave up this season early, and even bought out Kassel's contract to save money.Facing the Eagles, which hit 60 wins, the Clippers' resistance lasted only one quarter of the game, and the remaining three quarters were basically flat. . . . . .

Throughout the second half of the game, Ke Yan didn't even call a timeout. As the head coach, he took the lead in paddling and steadily reaped the game. (60-16)

. . . . . .

On April 4, the Eagles returned home to face the Cleveland Cavaliers from afar.

Right now, the Eagles are five games ahead of the Lakers, and have basically secured the league's No. [-] position.The status quo of the Cavaliers is not so good. The team is currently ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference, two games behind the Magic, which is ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference. Considering that the two teams have a high probability of meeting in the first round of the Eastern Conference, it is equivalent to saying that the Cavaliers have no home games. Advantageous.

How important home field advantage is to the Cavaliers, everyone knows it!

From the perspective of the Eagles, neither the Magic nor the Cavaliers are ideal opponents in the second round. The Magic's super offensive rebounding ability, James' strong breakthrough ability, and heaven-defying physical fitness can all beat the Eagles to seven. Inch!

If he is destined to choose one of these two opponents, Ke Yan feels that "the threat of the knight < the threat of the magic < the threat of the knight + referee".The deterrence of the Magic is within the predictable range, the latter. . . . . .Don't challenge your character.

So Ke Yan would rather the Magic team kill the Cavaliers directly!

In this game, the two sides launched a hand-to-hand battle. Battier, Tucker, and Joe Johnson took turns to "siege" James. The three teamed up and contributed 12 fouls on James!

Including Garnett and Anderson, they were also rude when dealing with James. Birdman even overturned James directly during a defense, was whistled for a second-level malicious foul, and was directly sent off the court!

The Eagles, who have no doubts about the outcome, are so desperate to deal with James, which really makes Mike Brown a little unexpected!

Unlike other fringe teams in the playoffs who are desperate to enter the playoffs, the Cavaliers dare not fight with the Eagles.In case James really breaks, the team's season will really end early!

The Cavaliers were abruptly "intimidated" by the Eagles. Mike Brown chose to let go of this game, preferring to sacrifice the home court advantage of the playoffs and ensure that James can play in the playoffs in a healthy manner.

In the end, the Eagles won this hand-to-hand battle! (61-16)

After winning this game, the Eagles still lead the league's second-ranked Lakers by five games. Considering that the Eagles double-killed the Lakers this season, they have secured the league's first place in advance.Therefore, after the end of this game, Keyan entered the "preparation" stage of the playoffs ahead of schedule and handed over the command of the next five games to Hornacek.

It doesn't matter if the players take turns, but the coaches who are riding horses also take turns!Fans feel that Ke Yan is a bit "shameless".

But who makes the Eagles record good?As long as the team can win, the team supports whatever Ke Yan does.

What's more, Ke Yan's so-called "rotational rest" is not to give himself a vacation, he will be caught during training, and he will still appear on the sidelines as usual, but he is just wearing casual clothes and taking notes on the sidelines, without interfering with Hornacek's decision-making at all.

At the home court, Ke Yan will also interact with Huo Qingshu more frequently, explaining to her what he sees from the audience's perspective, which can also improve Huo Qingshu's "professional level" to a certain extent.

4 wins and 1 loss, this is Hornacek's answer sheet in the last five games, which can be regarded as "not bad", but no one cares.With Ke Yan around, fans don’t think that Hornacek can counterattack Ke Yan’s position if he teaches well; and Hornacek, as an assistant coach next to Keyan, has rejected the coaching invitations of other teams several times, unless it is the Jazz The team asked him to be a coach, otherwise he didn't want to leave Atlanta.

The Eagles’ 0708 regular season results were finally set at 65 wins and 17 losses. Compared with last season, they won three games less. Considering the team’s replacement lineup this season, and Ke Yan’s frequent rotation of core players, this record should be very good. Excellent.Only a few teams in the league can achieve 65+ wins for two consecutive seasons, and fans should have no regrets.

The Celtics ranked second in the Eastern Conference with 57 wins and 25 losses. Although O'Neal's state has plummeted this season, the Celtics have little hope of hitting the championship. However, from 17 wins and 65 losses last season to this year's The second place in the Eastern Conference, the Celtics won 40 more games, and it cannot be said that Angie's gamble failed!

The Pistons scored 53 wins and 29 losses, ranking third in the Eastern Conference, leaving Ben Wallace, but the high tacit understanding of the remaining four tigers ensured that the team's lower limit is not low, and McDyess can be regarded as a qualified starting insider.The current dilemma of the Pistons is that they are more than stable and not enough impact!

Compared with facing the Celtics or Pistons in the Eastern Conference finals, Ke Yan feels that the opponents in the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Cavaliers or the Magic, are more threatening.

Ranked 6-8 in the Eastern Conference are the 76ers, Raptors and Wizards. Basically, it is difficult to create too much threat to the top three teams in the Eastern Conference. Avoiding "gentleman sweep" is the most practical goal.

In the West, the Lakers came from behind and won the No. 59 record in the West with 23 wins and [-] losses.

Lakers fans also once clamored that if Gasol joined earlier, the Eagles may not be able to sit firmly at the top of the league;

The Spurs were weak in the late stage and only won 56 wins, ranking second in the West; the Suns still won 55 wins by relying on MSN, ranking third in the West.

The Jazz is not as good as the Rockets, but they rank fourth with the advantage of the Northwest Division champion; the Rockets rank fifth with 55 wins, but without Yao Ming on the inside, it is difficult to fight against the Jazz.

The Mavericks ranked sixth with 51 wins, and they will face the Suns in the first round; the Nuggets and Warriors ranked seventh and eighth, and both teams have 50 wins left.

Compared with the East may only have one set of duels with suspense, the distribution of power in the West is more balanced!Even if the Lakers are against the Warriors, they dare not say that they are sure!

The regular season personal data king announced that James averaged 30.0 points per game and won the scoring champion, which is the first scoring champion in his career;

Paul won the assists title with an average of 12.1 assists per game, ending Nash's four consecutive assists titles; at the same time, Paul also won the steals title, with an average of 2.7 steals per game.

Howard won the rebounding title with an average of 14.2 rebounds per game. He deserves to be a monster whose rebounding ability makes Ke Yan a little taboo!Camby took off the block leader with 3.6 blocks per game.

At the end of the regular season, the teams also got 4 to 6 days of rest. Ke Yan gave the team two days off as usual, and the third day was mainly restorative training. Anyway, the first round is not difficult to play. Slowly Use the game instead of practicing!
