"Garnett suffers medial collateral ligament strain in left knee!Expected absence of 10 to 12 weeks »

This was the headline on the Yahoo Sports section the next day. Almost immediately, the reporters got first-hand information about Garnett's injury.

Right now, the Eagles rank first in the East, and the good foundation laid in the early stage is enough to ensure that they enter the playoffs as the top six or even top four in the East. This is not a big problem; Home field advantage, and choose a relatively easy opponent. In this way, the Paul and Joe Johnson team still have a chance to lead the team to the second round. At that time, maybe they can wait for Garnett's comeback.

The optimistic imagination of Eagles fans, any fan will have such irrationality when facing three consecutive championships, they look forward to Duran. . . . . .Garnett paid the front line, turned the tide, and tried his last breath for the three consecutive championships.

The team's official tone is also the same. Garnett will actively recover after the operation. If the team can break through the first round of the playoffs, there is a chance to usher in Garnett's comeback; Nate returned in the first round and slowly adapted to the atmosphere of the game as a substitute.

The team needs fans to have hope for the "three consecutive championships". The hope in their hearts is the motivation to buy high-priced tickets at the Phillips Center!This is why even though Ke Yan has made it clear that he will not leave a place for Garnett in the playoff lineup, the team still insists that Garnett will return.

"If it is really difficult for kg to recover by then, let's talk about the playoff roster; but before that, during the regular season, there is no need to bluntly say that this kind of return will not be possible. It is not a good thing to affect the football market!" The team also said He issued a "ghost order" to Ke Yan, and "ordered" him not to speak indiscriminately, which would affect the sales of tickets.

"..." Ke Yan hesitated to speak, and only opened his mouth after a few back and forth, "I can hide the situation of kg, but I also have a request, and the team should not put pressure on kg to make him come back early !"

Players who have just recovered from serious injuries played playoff-strength games. Football fans can easily think of Diego Costa, who was forced to play in the 14 Champions League final and was replaced after ten minutes, and Haha, who was mediocre in the 19 Champions League final. Li Cain; basketball fans can easily think of Nelson, who came back from the line of fire in the 09 Finals and defrauded the whole team, and Durant, who forcibly played in the 19th Finals and ruptured his Achilles tendon.

Even if Garnett may not have the opportunity to play for him again in the future, Ke Yan does not want him to face such a risk; he hopes that Garnett can recover from his injuries and strive for a suitable retirement contract for himself during the offseason.

Since the team management does not intend to admit that Garnett is reimbursed for the season, the Eagles have no way to apply for an "exception to the injury clause". It is relatively difficult to make some transactions or sign contracts. Signing players and supplementing insiders.

Ke Yan, who has not yet reached a contract renewal agreement with the team, has no position to ask the team to invest more, and the team can only "attack from the left".

In the five games before the All-Star Game, under the leadership of Paul, the team successively defeated the Hornets, Thunder, and Grizzlies, and lost to the Celtics and Clippers. The frame is 43 wins and 10 losses.

Leading the team with a single core, Paul showed a good level of support for the team; but the record of the Eagles was still caught up by the Cavaliers, and due to the ranking rules, the Cavaliers, who had a better record against teams in the same district, overtook the Eagles , took the top spot in the Eastern Conference!

. . . . . .

February 2th, the day before International Valentine's Day.The faint moonlight poured quietly on the ground of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. Travelers from south to north stepped on the silver light, looking in and out in a hurry.

Ke Yan also saw Xu Yi who hadn't seen him for a long time. The two looked at each other, and Xu Yi suddenly said, "Old friend, it's been a long time."

"Thank you, for my sake, I made a special trip to the United States." Ke Yan said, and hugged Xu Yi lightly, it was a purely polite hug.

"Between you and me, don't say these things about birth." Xu Yi smiled, "It's just that a famous scientist hugs a beautiful reporter late at night. If he is photographed, it might be big news."

"I still believe in ESPN's public relations capabilities." Ke Yan waved his hand and said.

When they came to the parking lot, Ke Yan helped her open the Cadillac's co-pilot and asked, "Are you hungry?"

Xu Yi asked back: "I want to eat something warm, but it's not easy, is it?"

The time displayed on the dashboard is 2:40 in the morning, and apart from bars and nightclubs, not many stores are still open.If you want to eat some cooked food, the only place to go is Keyan's house.

What Xu Yi didn't expect was that Ke Yan's house actually prepared a lot of cooked food by the door.Duck blood vermicelli soup, shrimp dumplings, mung bean cakes, fried rice cakes, etc.

Not only warms the stomach, but also warms the heart.

Ke Yan put on an apron and cooked for Xu Yi one by one, Xu Yi was taken aback for a while.

"Tell me about your plan?" Xu Yi asked after taking a sip of duck blood vermicelli soup.

"Where do you recommend me to go?" Ke Yan asked back.

"I can't say it's a recommendation, but I've done some analysis." Xu Yi said vaguely while talking about fans, "Probably some guesses."

"First of all, with your style, some coaches with a solid position, you don't want to overtake the opponent's position. This can at least eliminate more than half of the teams!"

"Secondly, you should not like cities without Chinese gathering places. Even if you are willing to go, you have to consider the idea of ​​​​never. You can remove some of them."

"Finally, you also have to consider the financial resources of the team. I don't think you can serve a boss like Sterling."

"Not necessarily, he gave me shares, I am happy to work for him." Ke Yan said with a smile.

Xu Yi still knows Ke Yan better, after a pass analysis, Ke Yan's optional team is on the paper!

New York Knicks, New Jersey Nets.

In fact, in the special year of 10 years, both the Nets and the Warriors experienced a change of ownership. The Russian rich man Prokhorov and the American businessman Lacob became the owners of the two teams respectively.It's a pity that Ke Yan's current financial resources are not enough to buy a team. Most of his assets are stocks or cash flow, without a stable industry. This strength is not yet in the eyes of NBA players.

You have to double it at least a few times before you are eligible to enter the arena.

"In the past two seasons, more or less, I know a little bit that the Knicks have been playing my mind. I frankly say that New York is very attractive to me!" Ke Yan said very bluntly.

"Hmm~" Xu Yi raised his eyebrows, and the "but" behind it was what Ke Yan really wanted to express.

If it is really simple "the man is affectionate, the concubine is interested", why did Ke Yan call himself here?

"But I don't want to cooperate with Insaiah Thomas, this guy's character is too bad!"

Regarding the Smiling Assassin, many people's first reaction was that he led the "bad boy army" to snipe Jordan many times in the early days of Joe's gang leader's career.

In fact, Jordan was only "responsible" for refusing Insaiah Thomas to enter the Dream Team. The real situation is that the three elders of the Dream Team, Jordan, Bird, and Johnson, all resisted Thomas from joining the team. It's not that Jordan did it alone.

He isolated Jordan in Jordan's first All-Star Game, and even urged other stars to play with Jordan, and refused to pass the ball to Jordan.Jordan scored only 7 points in his first All-Star Game.

He publicly said in front of the media that Bird's performance was due to his skin color: "After all, Bird is a white man. If he is black, he is also an ordinary star."

After the magician was diagnosed with AIDS, Thomas was one of the first people to get the call.Instead, he teased the magician in front of the media and ridiculed the reason for the magician's illness.

As a manager, he directly ruined Marbury's life.Marbury's father had a heart attack while watching the game and was sent to the hospital. As the head coach and general manager, the assassin was afraid of affecting Marbury's state, so he chose to hide it temporarily!It wasn't until the end of the game that Marbury was informed that his father had passed away when Marbury rushed to the hospital, and he didn't even see him for the last time.

Such a person, you let Ke Yan cooperate with him and give him the back?Stop dreaming!

Maybe he just got Ke Yan's team building plan with his front foot, and he kicked Ke Yan away with his back foot, and went to claim credit for himself.

"So, you want to bypass Thomas and directly connect with Dolan?" Xu Yi finally knew the reason why Ke Yan invited him to the United States.He wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Dolan directly through his own channel.

It is difficult to find other agents without leaking the news.

"My experience in the Eagles has proved that as long as I have enough authority, I can bring the team a championship. On the other hand, Thomas, besides bringing muddy gimmicks, what else?"

"Some things are not just based on grades." Xu Yi reminded him kindly.

It has to be said that Ke Yan's appetite is really big, not only asking for the coach's first salary, but also directly killing the team's general manager.

Even Xu Yi is very supportive of Ke Yan, and wonders if he is really a little drifting.

"At other times, I don't have the confidence. But don't forget, in the summer of 10, it was the free agent market with the most big names in history. The garbage contract that expired in the summer of last year, and bought out Marbury, just to have enough salary space to compete for James, Wade, Stoudemire, Bosh and others.” Ke Yan reminded.

For these stars, is the champion coach Ke Yan more attractive, or the notorious Thomas more convincing?The answer is self-evident.

"Just your advantage over Thomas is not enough. More importantly, you have to come up with a plan, package the Knicks in your plan, and show it! Only in this way can it be convincing."

"Obviously they are the ones looking for me, why do I have to prepare a resume as if I am applying for a job..."
