"Detailed introduction to the first Chinese coach in the NBA", after the Lakers' media open day, Ke Yan briefly posted a wave of presence on the fan forums in the United States. Many of the comments were noticed by Chinese basketball players, including "Basketball Su Junyang of the Pioneer, in the second weekly magazine in September, Su Junyang published an article about Ke Yan, "introduced" some information about Ke Yan in detail, and posted a lot of information about Ke Yan on the Lakers media day. Photos from the visit.At the same time, it calls for more domestic coaches to go out, learn advanced basketball concepts from abroad, and learn from foreigners to control foreigners.

However, in this report, Su Junyang has a problem of principle, that is, the principle of seeking truth and being pragmatic in media reports.In the article, Su Junyang said that Ke Yan was a member of Yao's team, and was responsible for helping Yao Ming with tactical translation and guidance. Simply put, he was doing work for Yao Ming.In fact, Ke Yan became the team's assistant coach only after passing the Rockets' interview. It cannot be said that he has nothing to do with Yao Ming, but it is not like what Su Junyang said in the article.There is an essential difference between the two.

Whether it was in the Rockets or the Suns before, Ke Yan's ranking in the coaching staff was not high. Even if he appeared next to Yao Ming from time to time in the Rockets, he was easily misunderstood.At this time, in the Lakers, he is nominally the third assistant coach, but on the day of the media release, he can be said to be in the limelight. The team training game shines, and his cards have obviously improved a lot.

The identity of the first Chinese assistant coach is only 25 years old, and most players are still getting rookie contracts at this age!

Because of Yao Ming's relationship, China is paying more and more attention to the NBA. Fans are looking forward to more Chinese people entering the NBA, including Yao Ming himself. I thought, Yi Jianlian was still waiting for the right opportunity to participate in the draft, but Ke Yan took the lead, still as a coach.

Su Junyang's article attracted widespread attention from domestic basketball fans. Immediately, editors from other websites followed suit, searching for information about Ke Yan everywhere, and published similar reports. Hot people.

However, what everyone searched everywhere turned out to be some untrue news, and there was a situation of "spreading rumors". One media deduced part of Ke Yan's experience based on the news of another media, and another media based on the jokes of this media. Continue to process, abruptly pinch out the Ke Yan that everyone imagined.

Xu Yi, the editor of ESPN's Huaxia District, was also keenly aware of this hot spot. He felt that this project could be developed and discussed. He immediately applied to the management and went to the United States to conduct an interview with Ke Yan.

"Although he is only an assistant coach, it is really not easy to have a Chinese face on the NBA stage. Many reports surrounding Ke Yan are picked up from the Internet. I think a lot of information has not been confirmed by me. Completing an exclusive interview in person can confirm many things, and with this hot news, we can further enhance our credibility!" When faced with his superiors' doubts about the necessity of "interviewing a teaching assistant", Xu Yi argued strongly !

Because of Yao Ming's relationship, the NBA's influence in China is increasing day by day, and the news about the NBA has a high hit rate. Xu Yi's argument finally won the support of the high-level, and then he applied to the US headquarters. . . . . . .

"Seattle Supersonics, Key Arena."

"NBA04-05 season, the first preseason game."

"Lakers vs. Sonics!"

As the on-site commentary voice fell, the fans in the key arena erupted like a tsunami.

Although this is only a preseason game, after all, the first game after the NBA truce for several months, the entire key arena that can accommodate 19476 people is almost full.

Objectively speaking, the results of the Supersonics in the past few years are really a little sorry for the support of the fans. After Payton left, the road to rebuilding the Supersonics is still going on with difficulty and slowly. The team originally planned to use Ray Allen Restructure for the core.Sander, the manager of the Supersonics who wanted to renew his contract with Allen, received a quotation of [-] million yuan in five years. This price far exceeded the expectations of the Supersonics and brought the renewal issue to a deadlock.

This season, the team's main point guard Brent Barry left the Spurs. You must know that Barry was the Sonics' assists and steals leader last season, and the three-point shooting percentage was also the highest. It is not a small blow to the "weak" Sonics. The team can be said to have gained nothing in the summer transfer market. Except for center Booth in exchange for the Mavericks' discarded general Fortson, there is no transaction worthy of attention.

However, for Ke Yan, he did not dare to underestimate the Sonics team. He still remembers that in this year, the Sonics team became the super dark horse in the league. Ray Allen, Lewis, Radmanovich , Daniels, Ridnor and others formed the "Warriors Arrows" before the Warriors, the first team in the league where outside shooting was the main offensive method. The team also ranked third in the Western Conference for a long time, and successfully broke through the strong enemy Kings in the first round of the playoffs and reached the Western Conference semifinals.

The reason for the final loss to the Spurs is also very aggrieved. In this round of the series, the Spurs killed Ray Allen and Lewis before passing with a big score of 4:2.

Leading this group of players who had previously been underestimated to a legendary season, McMillan, the legendary supersonic team history and the team's head coach, absolutely deserves credit.He can be regarded as a "poor man's version" of Jerry Sloan, "slow", "stubborn", and "suppressing genius".And he was able to lead the Sonics to take off this season. The specific reason is clear from the contracts of the players in the Sonics. Ray Allen, Daniels, Jerome James, Radmanovich, Ridnour, all came to the contract year. The combat effectiveness of NBA contract year players, you know everything!

The starting lineup of the Lakers is basically the same as the main lineup of the previous training game. Anderson, who obviously suppressed Mihm in the training game, is still sitting on the bench. Tomjanovich also has his own considerations for this arrangement.After all, it is a training match, so it is unnecessary to rush to adjust the lineup rotation that the team made before the season.It is still in the preseason stage, and we can continue to investigate the performance of the players. With more sufficient game samples, it will be more convincing to adjust the lineup at that time.

The Sonics also deployed the starting lineup planned for the new season, Ridnour, Ray Allen, Lewis, Radmanovich, Jerome James.

The Lakers are eager to stabilize the confidence of the fans after the upheaval in the summer, and the Supersonics, after all, is the team's home debut in the new season, and the Key Arena, which has always been in a bad market, is rarely full. If they don't perform well , the boss did not agree!

Midline jump ball. , Jerome James won the jump ball and gave the ball to Ridnour, who dribbled the ball halfway. Norwich ran down to the bottom corner, and Ray Allen scored the ball directly after receiving the ball, creating an open shot for Radmanovich, who had thrown off Grant's defense, and the latter raised his hand and hit a three-pointer!

For the Sonics, it was a very smooth perimeter fit.On the Lakers side, the tacit understanding between Kobe and Grant on the defensive end obviously needs to be strengthened!
