Fast forward to the end of September, and the Hawks players are back on the team. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Inspired by Erniu's phone call, the main players actually completed the assembly in late September, with the only exception being Jamal Crawford, who arrived at the training gym at the latest.

However, when the goods were officially put into joint training, the Eagles generals quickly recognized his strength.

Crawford's offensive methods are ever-changing, and if used well, it is definitely a big killer.

On the other hand, his inaction on the defensive end has left Woodson with a lot of headaches.

It is impossible to freeze the opponent's attack with his eyes alone, not to mention that the murderous aura in Crawford's eyes is obviously insufficient, and at first glance, it is not the best pupil technique such as writing wheel eyes and white eyes.

It can be said that Jamal Crawford's offensive ability, put on any team, is plug-in hardware. But his inaction on the defensive end has also deterred any team that has a championship goal, and this is really not a suitable guy to play as a starter.

"J-CROSSOVER, I'M GOING TO PUT YOU IN THE SIXTH MAN POSITION IN THE NEW SEASON. ”

If it was Woodson in the past, he would probably communicate with Crawford in a softer way, but he is now a re-elected COY, so the whole person is more confident.

Jamal Crawford still didn't look awake, and I don't know whether he is against it or agrees.

It doesn't matter, at the Atlanta Eagles, there are only three people who really have the final say on the team: Joe Johnson, Mike Woodson and Nguyen Er Niu.

The Hawks' joint practice is getting more and more intense, and for a team aspiring to build a dynasty, the league is your enemy.

If winning the title for the first time can be called luck, and the success of defending the title the next year can be called luck, then once the three consecutive championships are completed, it can only mean one thing, this team has formed a domination of the league for a long time.

The group practice continued until the beginning of October, and for the Eagles, the fat accumulated throughout the summer was quickly burned off during this time.

And then came the preseason of the 09-10 season.

For Erniu, this may be a preseason game worth remembering, as he will return to China for the first time to participate in the preseason, which is officially called the NBA Celestial Empire game by the league.

It's strange to say that Erniu, a league signboard, has never had the opportunity to play in the Celestial Dynasty, even Yi Jian even returned to the Celestial Dynasty to play in 08, but Erniu, who has won the championship, has not been arranged to return to Greater China to develop a commercial territory for the NBA, and I don't know what Stern thinks.

Stern said that he didn't carry this pot, and anyone who went back to two years ago, who would dare to say that Erniu would become a dominant player?

It can only be said that the speed of the Celestial Empire's popularity is too fast.

According to the schedule, on October 8 and October 11, the Eagles will play two preseason matchups with the New Orleans Hornets in Bay Bay and Imperial Capital, respectively.

On October 8, 2009, the Eagles first came to the Bay North Arena for their first game.

Erniu thought that as a compatriot on the other side of the sea, he might not have much appeal in Wanwan.

As it turned out, he was wrong!

The Eagles and Hornets were very welcome to the Eagles and Hornets, and the Arena was almost full, and when the team bus drove into the stadium, it received the warmest welcome from the fans.

Interestingly, this turned out to be the first time that Wanwan has held an NBA preseason game, but in that regard, they are already far behind the other side of the channel.

Ruan Erniu met his old rival Chris Paul again, and it is strange to say that according to the schedule, at the beginning of Erniu's career, it was always easy to play CP3 in the preseason, and I don't know if this is fate.

The Hornets only had a 47-35 record in the 08-09 season, far worse than their performance in the 07-08 season, the second place in the West, you know, Chris Paul that season was qualified to compete with Kobe Bryant and Erniu for the regular season MVP.

The team's poor record should not be counted on Paul's head, and the real reason lies in their No. 5 Tyson Chandler, the "boxing king" played only 45 games in total last season due to injury, and the long-term absence of the interior defensive big gate was fatal for the Hornets.

This summer, the Hornets and Bobcats completed a trade in which they traded Chandler for Emeka Okafor, and the team's management wanted to rebuild their defensive system.

However, none of the above is enough to explain the current mess of the Hornets, and the real problem for the team is that the management has gradually lost faith in head coach Byron Scott, believing that the head coach, who has led the Nets to the Finals twice, is not capable of taking the team to the next level.

Does Byron Scott have the ability at all?

It's hard to tell!

When it comes to developing the potential of the No. 1 position, the nanny-type Byron Scott is obviously very vocal, after all, there is Kidd now, and Paul is behind him.

But did Scott develop a super point guard, or did a super point guard make him a good one?

It's also hard to tell.

It wasn't until 2017 that Byron Scott released his autobiography "Successful Slam Dunk: Learning from Every Position in the Arena of Life".

See what he says in the book:

"The first time I met Kidd was in Nets training camp in 2001, and I knew he was going to be in trouble, he was an All-Star, but I had to shatter his vision and tell him who was the boss here. ”

Kidd smiled at the new coach and stepped forward to shake hands. But Scott didn't bother him, just put his arms on his chest and said, "Jason, I've played against the best point guard in history, but that guard isn't you." If you are willing to learn with humility, I can turn you from a boy into a real man. ”

Kidd froze in place, a little bewildered, and glanced elsewhere in embarrassment.

But Kidd didn't know it was Scott's temptation, "He didn't even have the will to beat me up, and from that moment on, I knew he was a soft ass and didn't deserve a place in my foxhole." We've made it to two finals in a row together, but if he listens to me, then we'll at least win one championship. ”

A thick aura of pretending came to his face.

And then there's about CP3.

After a season with an 18-64 record, the Hornets picked Chris Paul with the fourth pick. Scott can finally put up to his own point guard, and Paul, a rookie, lives up to his expectations, "He listened to me and played well in the starting position, and he could certainly score 40 points and 20 assists per game under D'Antoni, but he would never learn to defend under that loser." ”

In Scott's eyes, Paul is his proudest point guard student, "I taught you how to be a top point guard, and you learned it, no thanks." ”

If all of the above is true, it can only prove one thing, Scott has relied on pretending to be in the middle of nowhere.

Of course, this can't be said that he is incompetent, after all, when King Xuan was alive, Mr. Nan Guo was still quite confused, but sooner or later he would still be exposed.

After all, for a super point guard, since you are responsible for pretending and I am responsible for winning, why can't I do these two tasks alone?

At this time, people would not have thought that the Hornets management had already made up their minds, and just a month later, shortly after the start of the 09-10 regular season, New Orleans resolutely cut Byron Scott.

Chris Paul appeared helpless in front of the media, believing that the team had cut off his mentor.

But after watching the interview about Paul on TV, Erniu said to his teammates with a smile: "I bet the Hornets must have gotten CP3's approval to kill Scott." ”

Anderson, a birdman who had been in New Orleans, asked puzzledly, "How do you know for sure?"

That is, Ruan Erniu smiled and patted the birdman on the shoulder and said, "It's very simple, because he and I are both Taurus men!"
