On January 1, in Keyan's eyes, the Orlando Magic, the team's second strongest opponent this season, once again completed reinforcements for the team.The Magic reached a three-way deal with the Rockets and the Grizzlies, sending a first-round pick and Brian Cook to get the Rockets' Alston.

Keeping clamoring to compete for the championship, the Rockets are on the old road of releasing immediate combat power to avoid taxes. The team sent away Alston in exchange for second-year rookies Lowry and Brian Cook.The former is the third point guard of the Grizzlies. He is not tall enough and his speed is not fast. So far, he has not had many bright spots in his career; the latter is not an NBA player at all in terms of strength. The role of the surprise player has been mixed in the league. The Rockets' deal is to scratch Lowry's lottery ticket that has already seen the word "thank you", and the more important purpose is to save money.

Of course, in the writing of Huaxia Media, the title of the article must be "Potential guard joins the Rockets to help Yao Mai, a characteristic that shows that the Rockets championship is in sight".

Lowry and Conley are about the same age, and they are both small guards. It is difficult to play double point guards together; the Rockets can scratch the lottery, and the Grizzlies have no such space at all. With a first-round pick in the future, the Grizzlies will not lose anyway.

This small transaction also opened the prelude to the negotiation of transactions among NBA teams. Among them, the most active teams in the transaction market are the Knicks and Timberwolves.The former holds a lot of "junk contracts" and wants to convert these long-term contracts that expire 10 years later into short-term contracts that expire 10 years ago by sacrificing the team's combat power, including but not limited to Randolph, Marb inside;

The Timberwolves are in the inside and wing positions, and there are too many potential stocks, so that there are conflicts in the locker room. They can only seek trades to adjust the lineup structure, including David Lee, Randy Foye, McCants, Rudy Gayin And the team's second pick this year, Beasley, may be sent away by the Timberwolves.

It is also brainless accumulation of talent, the Timberwolves' team building ideas are really far behind the Thunder!

As a team with a relatively complete lineup, the Eagles don't have many plans to trade.Ke Yan is deeply involved in the "contract renewal turmoil", and it is good for everyone to take the initiative to avoid suspicion. If some transaction is promoted now, and he goes to the target of the transaction in the future, wouldn't it become "benefit transfer" and "asset transfer"?

From the perspective of the lineup, when all members are healthy, the Eagles also lack a human shield that can carry people. It is expected that the reporter will seek a deal, so it is better to wait for a suitable veteran in the buyout market.

On January 1, the Eagles played against the Spurs at home.

Every year, at this time of year, the Spurs' home court is rented out to local farmers for an agricultural product exhibition and sales conference, starting a journey of n consecutive customers, and this year is no exception.Floating outside for as long as two weeks, the life of "sleeping in the wind and sleeping in the open air" was not easy. During this period of time, the Spurs' record fluctuated a lot.

In the past few years, the Eagles are usually the first few vanguards to face the Spurs in the East; this season, the team has good luck and is the penultimate opponent of the Spurs' nine-game streak.

The team was in a "poor man and horse shortage" situation. Popovich ignored the "National Live Broadcast" specification, forcibly rested Duncan and Bowen, and hid the injured Ginobili!Parker led the team to play alone.

Although the Eagles also have personnel injuries, the team's recent schedule is relatively easy, and the players' state is adjusted fairly well.Against the Spurs' rotation, the advantage is obvious.

Duncan was not there, Garnett was wantonly making trouble inside the Spurs, Oberto and Elson were powerless to stop him, the Wolf King scored 31 points, 12 rebounds and 5 blocks in the whole game, the first time this season 30+10+5.

保罗同样贡献了24分10助攻的两双表现，并在防守端有效的牵制了帕克的输出。最红，老鹰队119：103击败了马刺队。（31-8）

After the game, Stern was "merciful" to the Spurs. After all, the nine-game streak is indeed not something that ordinary teams can support.Like the Eagles, the longest consecutive away game in the entire season is only five games.

On January 1, the Eagles came to Miami to challenge the Miami Heat, which has recently fallen back, back to back.

Pat Larry's devil training method is helpful to help players develop a good state as soon as possible, but the negative effect is also obvious. Human energy is limited, not to mention that professional basketball itself is a sport that consumes a lot; After being in a state of overload and making it difficult to get out, his body will respond, and the fatigue from the inside out is very obvious.

The Heat are in such a state now, including Wade, the performance of the players on the court is visible to the naked eye, and some goals that can be scored usually cannot be sent to the basket in the game.

On the contrary, the Eagles are fighting back to back, and the physical condition of the players is better than that of the Heat players.Shannon Brown, who was invited to participate in the slam dunk contest, even dunked Wade in the middle of the game. This ball is expected to be among the top five shots of the day!

Witnessing the team's disastrous defeat on the sidelines, Pat Riley didn't have much emotional fluctuations.The Heat gambled heavily on O'Neal in 04, and successfully climbed to the top in 06, fulfilling Pat Riley's strategic goal. The short-term trough is indeed normal; right now, the team is being "trapped" by the Timberwolves It is already a "surprise surprise" for Laili to maintain its competitiveness under such circumstances.

From a macro perspective, Pat Larry has set his sights on the 10-year summer, and the Heat will become the most active "buyer" on the market in this free agent market with the most big-name players in history.

At 89:118, the Eagles beat the Heat in an away game, bringing the team's winning percentage back to 80% (32-8).The impact of Joe Johnson's injury seems to be digested by the team, and the team's status quo has stabilized a little.

In the next five games in January, the Eagles continued to maintain a stable state. After Joe Johnson was injured, Garnett, who had been "healthy" for a long time, lost his thermos and started to work hard. He scored 20 points in all five games. The data of +10+5 helped the Eagles fight all the way to the end of the month!

The team took advantage of the trend to complete a wave of 7 consecutive victories, tying the team's winning streak record this season. (37-8) also opened the gap with the Cavaliers to three games.

On February 2, the nba officially announced the best player in January, and Anthony and Paul were elected respectively.The former was fully fired after Billups joined. In January, he averaged 1 points and 1 rebounds per game, leading the Nuggets to a wave of 1 wins and 31.4 losses. The ranking also chased from seventh in the West to fourth in the West. It is the best stage since Anthony entered the league;

Paul won the award, more or less "thank you" for his teammates' injuries.When the strength of the Eagles was damaged, Paul assumed more responsibilities, digested more possessions, and handed over more beautiful data; Position, Paul is definitely the first to contribute.

Rose and OJ Mayo were respectively elected as the Rookie of the Month in the East and West.Among them, Rose's prospects are widely optimistic. Although his statistics, especially scoring statistics, are not as good as Mayo's, his role on the court is more obvious.The most important point is that he can help the team win. Compared with the Grizzlies who have already competed for the No. [-] pick in advance, the Bulls led by Rose have always had the hope of advancing to the playoffs!

That is, on February 2st, the Bulls completed two big deals in succession!

The team first sent Larry Hughes, who had a high salary and no playing time, in exchange for Anthony Robertson, Tim Thomas, and Quentin Richardson from the Knicks.

The Bulls have Rose, Hinrich, and Ben Gordon three "starter-level" players in the backcourt, and they really don't need Larry Hughes.Both Richardson and Tim Thomas are still usable forward backups. For the Bulls, it saves money and adds some bench thickness.

What the Knicks value is the salary space vacated by the expiration of Larry Hughes' 10-year contract. Isaiah Thomas currently has two jobs. Make enough salary space to pursue superstars before the summer, not just James, Thomas' goal is two of James, Wade, Bosh, and Stoudemire!

In a sense, one serves two!

The Bulls then traded Drew Gooden, Andres Nocioni, Michael Ruffin and Cedric Simmons to the Kings for Brad Miller and Salmons. .

In this way, the Bulls formed the starting lineup of Ross-Ben Gordon-Roelden-Terrence Thomas-Brad Miller, which is quite powerful!On the bench, the team also has Hinrich, Salmons, Richardson, Tim Thomas, and Noah's configuration.

This lineup, if used by Ke Yan, can play well!

The Knicks are also making big moves!After swallowing Larry Hughes' big contract alive, the team reached a buyout agreement with Marbury.Marbury gave up a small amount of the rest of his contract in exchange for free agency.Rumor has it that Lone Wolf will join the Dallas Mavericks in hopes of winning a championship ring.

The trade deadline has not yet arrived, and the teams in the league suddenly became lively, which shows that more teams have new ideas for this season.But in Ke Yan's view, the Eagles and Lakers are the ones that are truly capable of winning the championship.

When talking to Xu Yi, Ke Yan also said this: "I'm not sure about the stage of the playoffs, what kind of whistleblowing treatment the league will give the Cavaliers, play normally, I don't take the Cavaliers seriously Yes. The only team in the East that can hit us is the Magic.”

"In case, just in case, we lose to the Magic, then the Lakers can open champagne in advance to celebrate winning the championship."

After working hard in the media circle for so many years, Xu has had opinions on all kinds of sportsmen, some are arrogant, some are wise, some are prudent, and some are profound; only Ke Yan, who not only brags for himself, but also makes all kinds of opponents I also figured out a general idea that the arrangements are properly arranged, which is really rare!

"What do you think of the prospects of the Bulls?" Xu Yi asked.

Analyzing from her perspective, I also feel that this Bulls team has a great future!If the young people in the team realize their potential, they will at least be a team at the Eastern Finals level!

"If everyone builds the team with normal thinking, they can grow into a championship-level team in two or three years!" Ke Yan said.

There is room for Ke Yan's words, "if everyone is normal."

Of course he himself is not normal, which team has Ke Yan, it is basically the same as hanging up.

James can also suppress the Bulls by going to the Heat to hold a group, but this is not something normal people do. How can normal people do this!

"Ross and Durant are the two most talented players of this generation." Ke Yan added.

"By the way, what do you say about your own affairs?" Xu Yi asked concerned, she was ready to help Ke Yan build momentum.

"Maybe I'm too greedy?" Ke Yan laughed at himself, "I don't stay here, I have my own place. If it doesn't work, let's change the environment."

During this period of time, Ke Yan also negotiated with the management twice successively. The management expressed that it was difficult to accept Keyan's asking price of 1600 million.

Basically, the negotiations between the two sides have collapsed.However, regarding the future development, the management has a different understanding from Keyan.

The understanding of the Eagles management is that after the end of the season, Ke Yan will take the offer from the Eagles to discuss with other teams. Ke Yan will leave; otherwise he will stay in the Eagles;

The team has offered Ke Yan the highest salary in the history of coaches. The Eagles lineup was created by Ke Yan. No one knows the potential of this lineup better than Ke Yan. At the same time, Atlanta is one of the most comfortable cities in the United States. Wang Lifan His family still lives here. . . . . .It is not easy to provide more generous treatment than this!

But Ke Yan's idea is not like this!Leaving aside the issue of salary, whether it is due to the problem of extravagance in recent years, letting go of the substitutes who can play, or the disagreement with Garnett and Keyan on the amount of contract extensions, it shows that the boss's investment is not enough to win the championship. It is a very important part of the work to earn money and increase, but to reduce investment is a very important part of the work. Such a team, ups and downs are the norm, and they won two championships entirely by Ke Yan's abnormal operating ability.

Can it continue to be brilliant?Ke Yan has no confidence, nor does he intend to support the team for a long time.His long-term goal has always been to buy a team of his own.

As for the living environment, the multi-million dollar gap can be filled.
