On December 12, the Eagles came to Goose City to challenge the Oklahoma City Thunder, which is the bottom of the league, away.

Since Durant was selected in the 07 NBA Draft, the Sonics/Thunder team's team building idea was to rebuild around Durant. All invested in the players with the best physical talent.The team gave Durant, Westbrook, and Jeff Green enough ball rights, and at the same time freed up a lot of salary space. While saving money, they can also renew these players in the future.

Since the start of the game, the Thunder have only achieved a dismal result of 1 win and 14 losses, ranking the bottom of the league.But this season, they have just owned an NBA team, and Oklahoma City fans have given them full love and support. The Thunder's game market is almost full, and the atmosphere is warm.

Although they lost in the last game, this does not affect the Eagles' rotation plan to let Garnett rest.The Eagles are focusing on Westbrook, who Yang Yi said is "with his head on his waist". Anderson's frame protection is enough.

In his rookie season, he showed his ability to score without dead ends, and after hard training in the offseason, Durant's scoring became more efficient; however, his weakness lies in dribbling.

It’s ridiculous to say that an NBA player can’t dribble. Even a pure blue-collar player like Perkins can complete an extremely silky breakthrough layup on the field with only dribble and no body; Under the circumstances, Durant is currently an outside attacker, and his ability to hold the ball is unqualified!He can pull up and hit anywhere, but his ability to control the ball and break through with the ball is placed at the small forward position, not to mention compared with James and Pierce, and may be worse than Artest.

Under Ke Yan's highly targeted defensive arrangement, Westbrook and Durant did not play smoothly.The two teamed up and contributed 10 turnovers, which affected the team's offensive efficiency and gave the Eagles a lot of counterattack opportunities.

However, the current Thunder team is not afraid of making mistakes, and what General Manager Presti hopes to see is that these talented monsters can find their own problems and grow rapidly under the training of a strong team like the Eagles.After two or three seasons, when these young people grow up, it will be the days when the Thunder will soar. (15-2)

. . . . . .

After another round of expedition to the west, Keyan, who returned to Atlanta, got a two-day vacation.In addition to accompanying Wang Lifan home for dinner, Ke Yan also studied the draft report sent by the scout team.

Right now, the Eagles' record is smooth sailing, but there is indeed an undercurrent inside; Ke Yan and Garnett have not yet reached an agreement with the team because of salary issues.The two of them didn't have much reaction on the surface. When asked this question, they usually just make fun of it perfunctorily, but in fact they both have their own ideas.

The status of Garnett is hard to say. After all, a 33-year-old veteran entering the free agent market is still very risky, even if he is Garnett.Objectively speaking, Garnett has a "meritorious bonus" in the Eagles, and the team has more reasons to give him a high salary; Contracts.

But Ke Yan, who has not yet reached the age of "young handsome", is just a "baby handsome", but already holds two championship trophies is different.As long as he releases the news that he has not completed the contract renewal with the Eagles through Xu Yi, at least half of the teams in the league are interested in him. As for the "coach's first high salary" + independent team building ideas, it is not a problem .

Especially the New York Knicks, not to mention how many times the New York media has hyped that Ke Yan will go to New York one day, even Isaiah Thomas, the "interim" Knicks head coach, will hold back every time he plays against the Hawks. Ke Yan said a lot of words of appreciation.The enthusiasm shown is that as long as Ke Yan agrees, he can fill in the numbers on the check.

The 09 draft is the most underrated year in history.Except for Griffin, other rookies in this class are generally underestimated, which also leads to the fact that the draft picks are not very valuable and can be traded with relatively cheap chips.

Whichever team Ke Yan goes to, under normal operation, he is sure to get at least two players with All-Star potential, including an MVP.

As for the other mvp, he is the third pick and it is not easy to cut Hu.

Looking at Curry's draft report, many images appeared in Ke Yan's mind, which will last forever!

. . . . . .

On December 12, the Eagles were a guest at the Palace of Auburn Hills and challenged the Detroit Pistons away.

Since the league canceled the handcheck in 04, the Pistons' combat power has been gradually weakened under the adjustment of the rules; and in 06, the departure of Big Ben made the Pistons basically withdraw from the ranks of championship contenders; In the past few seasons, it is a bit too much to say that they are "lingering". After all, they are also the top six teams in the league in terms of performance, but the naked eye can see that the Pistons have lost their competitiveness in previous seasons.

In this case, the Pistons are still seeking change!In the summer, the Pistons almost reached a "Billups + Prince for Tracy McGrady" deal with the Rockets. Joe Dumars hopes to change the status quo of the team by introducing "superstars" and help the team get out of the immediate "dilemma". situation.

However, the deal ultimately fell through.The Pistons "lost their wives and lost their soldiers", and there was a gap between the players involved in the trade rumors and the management, which also contributed to the rise of Prince Stuckey.

The Pistons' record has declined this season, but facing their arch-rival the Eagles, they have made every effort to prove that the team still has hope in this high-profile game.

Facing Paul, Billups, as always, formed a terrifying suppression, full of three threats of throwing, passing, and bursting, and suppressed Paul to death.

As for the Eagles, Garnett, an important inside fulcrum for the Pistons, failed to activate his state in time. Facing the defense of McDyess and Rasheed Wallace, he only scored 17 points and 8 rebounds. The data is disappointing.

The Eagles eventually lost to the Pistons 91:97, suffering their third loss of the season. (15-3)

On December 12, the Eagles visited Washington as a guest and went to the White House before playing the game.As the nba champion, he was interviewed by Ao Guanhai, who had just taken office for a month.

Ao Guanhai had just won the general election on November 11th, and had just entered the White House for a month. Ke Yan was probably the first group of Chinese people to visit the White House.

Also because of this special significance, this matter actually made the news.

For this matter, Ke Guowei and Yuan Yue made a special phone call to "report the good news" to Ke Yan.

In fact, Ke Yan's daily achievements and how many games he won, except for die-hard fans and female fans, ordinary passers-by don't pay much attention to it; often after he wins the championship, the official will publicize and guide, and then get serious about it. Make a sensation indiscriminately among non-fans and non-fan groups; . . . . .This time on the news, people all over the country knew that Ke Yan was received by Ao Guanhai, and the two even took a group photo.

As for you asking Ke Yan how he feels when he sees a person who only lives in the news, he can only say that it is like a dream.

He has already passed the stage of "thousands of households in the dung", and he knows too well what the other party's position means.

Although the relationship with Keyan himself is not particularly great, he is the top leader of the world's largest country after all.

After the trip to the White House, the Eagles faced the Washington Wizards on the second day. After a fierce battle, they defeated their opponents 118:105 and avoided a losing streak. (16-3)

Just in the summer, the Wizards gave Arenas, who only played 13 games last season, a six-year, 6 million contract. As a result, the general suffered a knee injury again, and his return date was undetermined. Tag of.

In order to make room for the signing of Arenas, the Wizards let go of a number of strong role players, which also made the team's strength plummeted.The miracle that Butler and Jamison barely dragged the team into the playoffs last season is difficult to continue this season.

If they don't take advantage of Arenas' contract, the future of the Wizards is dark.

. . . . . .

Next, in the games against the Jazz at home and against the Knicks in an away game, Paul scored 25+12 large double-doubles one after another, and inadvertently raised his personal season data to 20+10, which is almost Paul's every game. The standard configuration data.

Paul's wonderful performance also allowed the team to easily win these two games.

On December 12, the Eagles were a guest at the North Shore Garden Arena and played away against the Boston Celtics.

In this game, the Eagles encountered a tenacious resistance from the Celtics!This has happened in many games this season. The opponents are more active when facing the Eagles, and even show their playoff energy to fight the Eagles recklessly.This also caused the Eagles a lot of unnecessary consumption.

In the first three quarters of the game, the two teams played inextricably.The Eagles' offensive state is not stable this season. Diaw and Garnett have encountered "trough periods" successively, which have affected the team's competitiveness on the court.On the Celtics' side, not only Pierce and Ray Allen scored steadily, but O'Neal also "dreamed back to the top" after encountering trade rumors, playing at a very high level.

But at the critical moment of the fourth quarter, the Eagles, who lost twice in the season and no one stood up at the critical moment, finally stood up!Facing Rondo, who touches himself every day, Paul burned his own small universe and turned into a "Super Saiyan", hitting the opponent twice in a row, hitting the mid-range; , Help Garnett to score at the basket!

A 6:0 spurt helped the Eagles establish a slight lead, and then kept the point difference firmly locked until the end of the game.

最终两队的比分是115:111，分差仅有4分，足见比赛有多艰难。（19-3）

But no matter what, losing is losing.After the game, several people from the Celtics were called to a meeting by the fans, and the one who bore the brunt was former All-Star power forward Jermaine O'Neal.The Celtics fans at home ignored O'Neal's peak performance in this game and booed him.

Strictly speaking, since joining the Celtics, Jermaine O'Neal's performance has not been very good, and he can't match the title of "Big Three"; it is even more difficult for the Eagles to lead the team to win two FMVPs. on a par.

Coupled with the fact that the Pacers met the Celtics in the playoffs for three consecutive seasons in the early years, it is not uncommon for O'Neal not to be liked by Celtics fans.

On December 12, the league announced the latest strength rankings, and the Eagles continued to top the list; they only lost one game more than the Eagles, and the Lakers, currently ranked No. 14 in the Eastern Conference, are in second place.In terms of strength, the two teams are well-deserved t0 level, much stronger than the teams behind them.

The Cavaliers surpassed the Spurs and the Mavericks to rank third. So far this season, the Quicken Loans Center is unbeaten at home. This is the confidence of the Cavaliers.

It was also on this day that a big deal was announced in the alliance.Nuggets, Pistons and Bobcats reached a tripartite agreement.

The Pistons sent Billups, McDyess and a 09 first-round pick to get Iverson from the Bobcats;

The Nuggets sent Andre Miller, Kleiza, two first-round picks in 09 and 11, and got Billups from the Nuggets;

Bobcats sent Iverson, Andre Miller, McDyess, Kleiza and three first-round picks.

Almost immediately after the transaction was completed, Xu Yi contacted Ke Yan and asked him his opinion on the transaction.

"The Nuggets should be the winner of this deal!" Ke Yan said without hesitation, "Billups is an underestimated commander, and his joining is likely to further activate the Nuggets' attackers! I Optimistic about Anthony playing better next to Billups."

"The Bobcats should bet on the value of these draft picks, and make room to train Augustin by the way, but I'm not very optimistic. Moreover, even if they pick up a high draft pick, with Jordan's draft level... Haha, I'm not optimistic about it." Ke Yan smiled awkwardly, "But at least the Bobcats saved money. Maybe this is the purpose of the leader Qiao?"

"The Pistons are likely to fall. Iverson is no longer the Iverson three years ago. This deal basically ended an era for the Pistons." Ke Yan said, "But Iverson's contract expires next year. If the contract is not renewed, the Pistons can also free up salary space."

Ke Yan gave his own professional opinion to Xu Yi for reference. Some of his views seemed a bit "unexpected", and Xu Yi also needed to consider it again and again.

"How is your own situation?" After summarizing Ke Yan's point of view, Xu Yi cared about Ke Yan by the way.

"There is no movement for the time being." Ke Yan shrugged and said helplessly, "Whenever I ask you to spread the news, that is when I decide to leave the Eagles."

"Frankly speaking, are there any candidates for the next family?" Xu Yi asked.

"No. But I can admit that for the 09 draft, I already have a relatively complete set of team building ideas to operate."

Unlike when he chose to leave in 05, he tried to avoid the "mixed" team like the Trail Blazers so that he would not be overwhelmed. Now Ke Yan has accumulated enough prestige points to deal with any problems and clean up any players with ease.

It is indeed easier for him to build a team.
