In the second week, the Hawks achieved a record of 2 wins and 2 losses. The strong momentum began to decline. Two of them lost to the championship Bulls last season, and the other was lost to the Spurs. Both games were defeated by big scores. The media commented on this: Sure enough! In the media's opinion, these two losses defeated the Hawks' strong team and brought them back to their prototype.

The feeling of losing was very unhappy. In these two defeats, the Hawks showed unprecedented strength and strength. The loss was due to the lack of strength of the team, not the players who did not work hard. Chen Junhao faced the reporter with a smile after losing: "It's unpleasant to lose the game, but today it's our best level. It's not that we are not good enough, but that they are better. Their inside line is much higher than us. If there is a tall inside player in our lineup, I believe we can be better."

The fact is as Chen Junhao said, these two games exposed the incomplete weakness of the Hawks lineup. Facing a strong team with strong inside players and the rebounding is not guaranteed, the Hawks' outside advantage cannot be revealed. In both games, Chen Junhao scored 20 (score) + 10 (assisted) All-Star performances, but still cannot bring victory to the team.

It's time for the Hawks to bring in inside players.

However, there are not many choices for the Hawks. The star of each team is undoubtedly basically undesirable. For example, Yao Ming and Duncan are the absolute non-sale products of each team. The hopes of each team's future can be basically despair. For example, Chen Junhao for the Hawks and Anthony for the Knicks, these are the absolute core players for the team's reconstruction. The Hawks are known for their fast-paced offenses, and they need big men to not slow down the team's speed.

Having considerable strength must have a considerable speed and not slow down the team's offensive rhythm. It must be players that other teams are willing to exchange. There are not many options for Hawks to choose from after several conditions.

The player transactions are basically decided by the coach and the team manager, and the players have no room for interruption. But Woodson quietly came to Chen Junhao and asked: "What do you think of Kaman?"

Chen Junhao didn't come back to his senses.

"The Timberwolves' rookie this year, your college teammate Mike Carman!"

Chen Junhao felt a little excited and said, "Do you want to exchange Kaman?"

"If you have this idea, come and ask for your opinion."

Chen Junhao immediately became excited and said, "I promise you that he is definitely the most suitable candidate for our team."

Woodson looked at Chen Junhao and questioned: "Didn't you exaggerate the words and words for him because of your classmates?"

Chen Junhao said angrily: "If you don't believe me, why do you still ask me? Believe it or not!" After that, he left without looking back.

Woodson touched his nose behind him and said embarrassedly: "You are so good at temper!"

Two days later, the Timberwolves and the Hawks officially announced an agreement on a player deal: the Hawks exchanged Tyrone Rue for Mike Carman.

Chen Junhao was very surprised and quickly found the coach to confirm the news. Woodson touched his nose and said, "I was joking for you at that time who knew you were so humorous!" Woodson looked very helpless.

"I'm sorry coach, thank you!" Chen Junhao hugged the old man and went out excitedly to call Carman: "We are playing basketball again, welcome to Atlanta, Mike. Hahahaha..." Behind it was a laugh of joy.

This player deal between the Hawks and the Timberwolves is seen as a win-win deal. After Chen Junhao joined the Hawks, the team's original point guard Tyrone Lu's playing time shrank significantly. For him, changing the team back to the main lineup is undoubtedly a good choice. The Timberwolves also need a defender to strengthen their backcourt. Garnett is no longer young, and he wants to achieve his dream of winning the championship before the end of his career. The Timberwolves want to keep him and strengthen the team's strength is imminent. It will take at least two years for Carman to mature, and it is not certain whether he can grow into a superstar. Although he has shown enough excellent quality

Quality, but far-reaching water cannot quench the near thirst, so he can only use him as a bargaining chip to exchange for players that the team urgently needs. The Timberwolves have always lacked a pure organizational defender. Although Tyrone Lu is not top-notch as the organizational defender, last year, as the main control of the Hawks, he was able to score more than ten points and six or seven assists in each game, which is already a good deal for the Timberwolves. As a rookie, Kaman's salary is at the league's blue-collar level, while Tyrone Lu is a standard white-collar player. After the transaction, the Hawks obtained enough salary space to seek larger transactions in the transfer market. Of course, these are all later stories.

Kaman was not very excited when he received the call from Chen Junhao. He was traded as an item, which was not a good thing for the parties involved, especially the rookies who just entered the league.

Of course, Chen Junhao's excitement and excitement diluted his melancholy and depression.

"Come on, come to Atlanta, I'll pass the ball to you!" Chen Junhao said excitedly on the phone.

The last sentence "I'll pass the ball to you" is the key to getting Carman out of his melancholy. Yes, what's wrong with going to Atlanta?

After entering the NBA and getting to the Timberwolves, Kaman's deepest feeling was not the high-level confrontation of the NBA, nor the transformation from star players to rookies, but the view of Timberwolves defenders. Only when insiders get strong support from the defenders can they maximize their power. Just the right pass can make the forward and center score very easy. "Compared to Jack, the Timberwolves' defender passes are so inferior!" This is how many times Carman thought in private when he was with the Timberwolves.

Since there is no way to change the facts, please accept it happily, let alone playing basketball with Jack is also very good!

After figuring this out, Kaman put away the melancholy in his heart and came to Atlanta with a smile.

The Atlanta Hawks gave Carman a big welcome ceremony. At the press conference, the media showed Carman's new jersey No. 11 - the number given by Chen Junhao. Carman once said that he liked this number! Chen Junhao himself put on the No. 10 left by Tyrone Lu.

Back at the team, the coach also gave the new guy an informal welcome ceremony. Every player came to shake hands with the new guy. Everyone knew that he was a teammate who won the NCAA championship with Chen Junhao. He also knew that he was here to make up for the team's lack of inside line. Chen Junhao's boss status has won a lot of respect for Kaman, and everyone smiled enthusiastically for this guy who made up for the team's loopholes and strengthened the team's strength.

The coach finally left two college teammates to reminisce about the past.

Chen Junhao gave Carman a big hug: "That guy Jason must be so jealous that guy. We can play ball together. That guy is still alone in New York!"

Kaman laughed and said, "He is not alone, his girlfriends have changed a few of them!"

Chen Junhao said: "Luxury guy, despise him!"

"Despise him!" Kaman echoed, but looking at the expressions of the two people, he seemed to have envy.

The Hawks did not give Carman time to integrate into the team, and Woodson let Carman play the next day. Chen Junhao jokingly called him a firefighter.

The Hawks played away against the Miami Heat the next day. This was a strong team with the Sharks O'Neal in the interior. No wonder Woodson rushed Carman to the court in a hurry.

Facts have proved that although O'Neal has no courage as he had back then, he is still at ease in the defense of a rookie like Kaman.

Facts have also proved that the Hawks' deal to introduce Kaman is the absolute right choice. Although it was the first time to play, although he had never practiced with the team, after playing, Kaman immediately showed strong offensive power on the offensive end - he was really familiar with the Hawks' tactics. Chen Junhao was really too familiar with Kaman's characteristics. With familiar tactics, Chen Junhao passed the ball just right, as if he had returned to the university field.

"Easy to go", this is the media's performance against Kaman after this game

Chen Junhao's perfect pass always allows Kaman to send the basketball into the basket in the most comfortable position with the most skillful method. Kaman is not good at playing with the ball, so Chen Junhao's pass allows Kaman to attack directly after receiving the ball. Turning and jumping after receiving the ball with his back to the basket is the basic technique of the center, and Kaman is more accustomed to catching the ball outside the penalty area on the left, so Chen Junhao can pass the ball to him in time every time when Kaman is standing.

Of course, as a pair of partners who have cooperated for a whole season and those NCAA champions, their cooperation is not one-sided. Mike Carman is also an inside player who is good at passing the ball. He stood at the position and passed the ball quickly after receiving the ball. Chen Junhao cut the ball and dunked it directly. This performance was performed more than once or twice in this game.

Because he has no tacit understanding with other teammates, Kaman has almost no cooperation with other Hawks players in this game, but this cannot cover up Kaman's brilliance in this game. Chen Junhao is right, but he is the most suitable inside player for the Hawks.

For Carman, when Jack came to the Hawks, he felt like he was in water. It was not until this time that the unhappiness caused by the trade disappeared completely.

Kaman's arrival was like finding the last piece of the piece, and Knight's brand new Eagles immediately became perfect. Their attack power was daunting in the subsequent game, and the Eagles truly entered the ranks of strong teams.

What is the result of the Hawks vs. The Heat?
