In the first week of the game, Ke Yan received a lot of praise from leading the Hawks to three wins and one loss.

He took over the Lakers midway last season. No matter how weak that Lakers are, the media and fans subconsciously feel that the Lakers' true strength is about 4 to 8 in the West. Ke Yan led the team to be sixth in the regular season and defeated the Supersonics in the first round of the playoffs. It is considered to be "the normal performance of an excellent coach". He fought the Spurs seven games in the second round of the playoffs, which shows the potential of a "top coach".

In the Hawks, he led a weak team that has been playing hard for many years and personally participated in the team's reconstruction. From the beginning, he brought the team "new atmosphere, new atmosphere, and new core". The team's impressive playing style also brought a lot of attention, which was also brought by Ke Yan.

The Eagles were completely labeled as Ke Yan, which gave him higher praise!

Ke Yan's attention in Atlanta has increased, and his girlfriend Wang Lifan has been exposed by the media. Gossip media revealed that Ke Yan chose the Hawks because his girlfriend is from Atlanta.

As soon as this news came out, Wang Lifan became a hero of the Atlanta Hawks, and Ke Yan was also labeled as "Love the country and love the beauty more."

As long as he leads the team well, the fans will not have any opinions about Ke Yan because of his motivation to come to Atlanta; and in the eyes of female fans, Ke Yan's choice is similar to the plot where the male protagonist in an idol drama would rather give up his status as a wealthy family than be with the female protagonist Cinderella, and his pursuit of Ke Yan is even more enthusiastic.

The Hawks are at the bottom of the Eastern Conference for many years and have been in the process of many years. The media makes a fuss when they have some results. Ke Yan's vision will not be so low. The season has just begun, and there are still many challenges in the future.

......

On November 9, East Rutherford, Continental Aviation Center Arena, cheered, and Nets fans gathered here stood up and applauded, cheering loudly for the home team.

The Nets naturally had the advantage on the court, and Ke Yan's silence on the sidelines explained everything.

The game between the Nets and the Hawks has reached the fourth quarter, with the home team leading 98:81 and sure to win.

Before the start of the season, many people thought that the Hawks were a completely weakened version of the Nets, "the core is all outside players", "the focus is on offense and defense", "the interior is empty", and "the head coach is a young man".

The difference is that the Nets' outside players are more in quality, Kidcart and Richard Jefferson's trident combination are ranked first in the league. In contrast, Paul Joe Johnson's backcourt double guns are slightly weaker, and Percy and Richard Jefferson are not players of the same level.

This game basically confirmed this point. As a rookie, Paul is already comprehensive enough, with no shortcomings in all aspects of his skills, and has achieved an appropriate balance in personal offense and organization of the entire team. But in addition to his height, he cannot quickly improve his game experience. This can only be polished through one game after another, and there are no shortcuts.

Facing the experienced Kidd, Paul exposed his immature side. Especially in the control of the situation, Kidd's mind became clearer. Under Kidd's connection, Carter and Jefferson combined to score 51 points, completely suppressing the Hawks' wings.

"Swish!"

On the court, Joe Johnson faced Jefferson's defense and made a backward jump shot, helping the Hawks recover 2 points. But before the coaching staff could calculate the points, Carter forced a breakthrough through Percy's defense, forced a layup against Josh Smith's backup defense, and caused Josh Smith to foul!

Ke Yan shook his head helplessly, made a timeout gesture, preparing to replace the player, and the investor admitted the loss.

As the referee's whistle sounded, the Eagles players walked to the bench dejectedly. This game was different from the game that lost to the Pistons. Before the game, everyone felt that they could fight. Losing the game with anticipation was a bit more uncomfortable than having a fight.

But this is also the norm in the league. 50% of the teams lose every day, and at least two-thirds of the teams feel that they have hope of winning.

Although Kidd's average data is not as good as Paul's, Carter's data is not much better than Joe Johnson, who has just entered the best candidate for the week, but in the game, you can see why the opponent is an All-Star player who has been on the battlefield for many years, and these players of the Hawks still need to prove themselves!

Ke Yan took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and brimmed with every player who had left the field, hugged, and whispered encouragement in their ears.

"In this game, everyone has fulfilled my requirements. There is no need to blame myself. It is me who should reflect on me." Ke Yan said, "There are 82 games in the season, and no one can keep winning. Playing the next game is the most important thing."

After the timeout, Ke Yan replaced the substitute lineup, allowing Roger Mason and Hayes, who had almost no playing time before, to experience the atmosphere of the game through garbage time.

The Nets also replaced the main players after the timeout. The players in the team are either veterans or have a serious injury history, and Lawrence Frank must reduce their losses.

Although the Nets' two-time Eastern Conference champion is still there, their overall strength is at least one level worse than the Heat and Pistons. Last season, they almost couldn't enter the playoffs due to Kidd's injury. Fortunately, they "robbed" Carter from the Raptors before the trade deadline, and scored third in the Eastern Conference in the second half of the season before entering the playoffs. This also proves that it is dangerous for the team to lose any core player due to injury.

A few minutes of garbage time passed quickly, and the final score was frozen at 108:94. The Nets defeated the Hawks at home, and defeated the Hawks with the advantage of winning or losing, occupying the fifth place in the East, and the Hawks ranked sixth in the East.

In the whole game, Paul scored 16 points and 6 assists, and his performance was acceptable, but compared to the previous game against James, it had a decline.

Of course, this is also the price that growth must be paid.

Joe is still the most reliable firepower point for the Hawks. He made 9 of 19 shots in the game, scoring 22 points, and scored 20 points in five consecutive games. He kept his 20 consecutive scoring record, which is also the only gain for the Hawks in this game.

Among the stars who changed their goals this offseason, Joe Johnson was the best performer. The Hawks' investment in him is also highly recognized.

......

Because the next game was against the New York Knicks, the Eagles set up camp and rested in the hotel in East Rutherford.

On the contrary, the Knicks, who played at home, rushed back to New York from Toronto after the game with the Raptors.

The home team is "a hard-working expedition" and the away team is "to wait for hard work", which is also an inexplicable advantage between the Hawks and the Knicks, and it looks a bit absurd.

In the past offseason, the most exaggerated team in the league was of course the Hawks. The team underwent a major change. Among the players who also played for the team last season, only four players, Josh Smith, Boris Dior, Dotasmith and Royer Eve, remained in the team, and the latter two of them were placed in the water dispenser by Ke Yan.

The old coach Larry Brown, who came from the Pistons, also brought drastic changes to the Knicks. The Knicks first obtained the Bulls' "Little Shark" Eddie Curry through signing and then issued a five-year contract of 35 million to introduce Jerome James, who supported the Supersonics' inside last season, and formed a "double insurance" in the inside.

Since the team already has two excellent singles players, Marbury and Crawford, no one needs to divide the ball again. The Knicks signed a 5-year, 25 million middle-class contract with Suns small forward Quentin Richardson, who has strong off-ball ability and accurate three-pointers.

The random money scattered in the free agent market has made the Knicks' total salary exceed $90 million, which is 2.5 times the total salary of the Hawks. Spending so much money is also a coach for a famous coach. Even if you don't care about the cost-effectiveness and only pursue the luxury of the lineup, it is enough to be deterred.

As soon as Larry Brown joined the team, he transplanted his headache-inducing defensive system with the Pistons. At the beginning of this game, the Knicks' defensive system made Ke Yan very difficult.

In addition, Eddie Curry relied on his own compost in the interior and turned around like a rolling bucket, and the Hawks defended the penalty area in a scattered manner. The Knicks once established a 7-point lead in the first half of the first quarter.

However, with the official suspension, the situation of the game began to reverse.

Paul used Marbury's bold statement last season, "I am the league's number one point guard" to connotate this lone wolf.

Faced with Paul's provocation, Marbury responded calmly with trash words on the surface, but in fact, her heart was turbulent and she was determined to use her own strength to teach this ignorant child in front of her.

The Hawks' weak insider, and they are very uncomfortable against Eddie Curry, who has good weight skills, and they can't stand it. But if Marbury directly attacks from the outside and happens to face Paul, who is very good at defensive end, he will fall into the trap of the Hawks.

Sure enough, in the next round, Marbury did not hand the ball to Eddie Curry, but broke through by himself.

Paul predicted accurately and blocked the route. Marbury pulled the ball back, and the left side stopped and jumped back, which was off due to interference.

Josh Smith got the backcourt rebound and passed Paul to a fast break as soon as possible. Paul dribbled the ball and passed through the half-court at full speed, passing it to Joe Johnson who was inserted on the right. Joe Johnson took the ball and forced Crawford to jump, jumped with the trend, and entered the basketball with one hand! 19:14.

Crawford has excellent skills and excellent singles skills, but he is light in size and has almost no flesh on his body. He can't stand the confrontation at all.

As the nominal boss of the team, if Marbury listens to the coach and honestly runs, no one else dares to do anything. Once Marbury ignores the coach's arrangements and plays his own, Crawford, who has just been defeated by Joe Johnson, will follow suit.

He completely ignored Eddie Curry's request for the ball at the low post, dribbling like a butterfly through flowers and dribbled past Joe Johnson, and after breaking into the basket, he scored with a difficult trolley! 21:14.

Fans at Madison Square Garden are still celebrating Crawford's goal, and the Hawks have already started to fight back. Eddie Curry, who could not get the ball on the offensive end, was not very enthusiastic about returning to defense. The Hawks have all attacked and taken the position. He hasn't passed half yet.

Seizing the opportunity of 5-for-4 in the frontcourt, Paul broke into the basket to attract defense and gave it to Percy, who was left alone in the bottom corner. Percy, who had not been comfortable when he came to the Hawks, finally found the right rhythm and steadily scored his first three-pointer in this game! 21:17.

After being beaten by the Hawks twice in a row, Larry Brown's face turned black on the sidelines and stood up and cursed. But how could the Knicks and the "lone wolf" change with just a few words? Marbury continued to force Paul, relied on her height advantage to suppress Paul, attracted Josh Smith to assist in defense and then passed the ball to Jerome James. The latter wanted to dunk, but was directly stopped by Dior.

Jerome James missed two free throws and made another mistake. This time, Marbury was even more reluctant to pass the ball.

The Hawks attacked, Paul and Dior played pick-and-roll, and the latter took the ball down, threw it directly, and hit it again! The gap narrowed to only 2 points left.

The Knicks attacked, Eddie Curry was called out to play pick-and-roll for Marbury, and the Hawks attacked Marbury with three players. The opponent stood up with six hands. The ball was blocked without any surprise. Paul was quick-eyed and jumped up for the second time and grabbed the ball, and then was knocked to the ground by Richardson.

The Knicks couldn't beat the ball and then beat people. The Hawks teammates quickly surrounded him, especially with Josh Smith's moves the most. Richardson knew that he was in a disadvantage, so he spread his hands and explained to his old teammate Jo Johnson that he had no malice, but it still couldn't relieve Josh Smith's anger.

Fortunately, neither side did irrational actions, and Paul himself was not seriously injured. After watching the video, the referee called Richardson for a first-level malicious foul, and Paul got the opportunity to throw both free throws.

Taking advantage of this timeout, Larry Brown was furious on the bench and squirted Marbury hard. Marbury sat on the bench without saying anything, and he didn't know if he could hear it.

Paul is sure that there is nothing serious about the Hawks. In fact, although Richardson's movements were a bit big, Paul had been on guard and his muscles were protected. The reason why he fell to the ground was to win the referee's sympathy.

This is not "acting", but when you go to the "fighters" on the court, sometimes you have to protect yourself.

After returning from the timeout, Paul first made two free throws, and then played a delicate cooperation with Dior to play with the Knicks' penalty area defense. The two passes of the two players completely concentrated the defensive power of the Knicks' inside line to the left. When Josh Smith inserted on the right inserted into the penalty area, there was no one in front of him, and a big roc spread his wings dunk!

After a 11:2 attack wave, the Hawks overtook the score (21:23)

The Knicks' offense still did not improve. Marbury honestly handed the ball to Eddie Curry who was asking for the ball at the low post, and then stood directly outside the three-point line without moving, looking like "I'll just see how you play three". Eddie Cur, who has not had the right to the ball for a long time, faced the hard-earned opportunities inside, and didn't care about the three of the Old Hawks' double-team, insisted on forcing the attack... to hit the iron.

Including his career as an assistant coach, Ke Yan has been in the NBA for more than three years. He has seen his teammates fighting in the middle and has never seen such a chaotic team as the Knicks. Marbury either plays alone by himself or throws the ball to his teammates in anger and then doesn't move. Although Eddie Curry has a huge lethality at the low post, he moves slowly, and his physical strength is hard to sustain after the journey is exhausted. The defensive end is a completely decorative decoration.

His defensive level was that Chandler couldn't even wipe his butt during the Bulls' period, let alone Jerome James.

In addition to Crawford and Richardson also disturbed the situation. The Knicks fought on their own offense, and the defensive end was riddled with holes, and the score was quickly pulled open by the Hawks.

In the last three quarters, the Hawks always maintained a lead of more than 20 points, and finally defeated the Knicks 114:87 without any wind and rain, and the team scored 4 wins and 2 losses.

In this game, Joe Johnson completely suppressed the Knicks' wings, making 14 of 27 shots in the whole game, making 4 of 9 three-pointers, scoring 37 points, 2 assists and 3 rebounds, and scoring the highest score in his career.

Paul also had an explosion in data in this game. Although he only scored 14 points, he gave 13 assists and completed his first double-double in his career. What's even more exaggerated is that Paul grabbed 7 rebounds in this game. If Ke Yan could signal the players to help Paul brush the data like Donovan helped Westbrook, Paul might even score a triple-double!

Paul now doesn't care so much about rebounding statistics. What he cares more about is the team's victory and whether he can win some tangible personal honors, such as "Rookie of the Month".

At present, it is as stable as a dead dog!
