261. Encountering old friends in a foreign land

The final result between the Atlanta Hawks and the Washington Wizards was a 16-point win for the Hawks at home at Phillips Arena.

The key to the Hawks' victory in this game is the outside defense, Iguodala, Ariza and Matt Barnes take turns defending Arenas, and the constant entanglement not only consumes a lot of physical strength of Arenas, but also curbs the general's feel, after the Wizards lack the most important firepower point on the outside, neither Jamison nor Larry Hughes can support the outside of the Wizards, you must know that Arenas can only contain the opponent's defense by opening this point, not to mention that the Hawks also have a lot of defense masters, Both Josh Smith and Birdman Anderson can make the Hawks' interior a no-fly zone and rely only on perimeter shooting...... Sorry, Larry Hughes and Jamison alone really can't shoot their opponents.

In addition, Al Jefferson plays a pillar role on the inside, and his high-low post configuration with Dior makes the Hawks' offense more three-dimensional, and talented spring men like Smith and Iguodala can also use the two of them to complete the air cut attack score.

Of course, the biggest takeaway from this game is that Iguodala can go on the right path, in Jiang Qi's planning blueprint, Iguodala is a key piece of the puzzle, like this marking of Arenas, from a certain point of view, the Eagles are successful with wheel battles, but after a season or two, what about after the team really matures?

Matt Barnes is good to say that this unscrupulous player is very clear about his position, and he is more nostalgic, and it is completely possible to stay in the team with a suitable salary, but it is difficult to say that Ariza jumped out decisively after relying on defense to play his value, and wants to convert from a role player to a core player with the right to shoot, which the Hawks will definitely not be satisfied.

Therefore, Iguodala's maturity and the improvement of defensive ability are the top priorities, and Lao Jiang believes that there is Pippen's tune. Teach, Iguodala should be able to effectively limit the general 1v1 when he faces Arenas in two or three seasons, but Arenas at that time may have been a thing......

In Atalanta's existing lineup, Josh Smith and Iguodala are the two players that Jiang Qi values the most, with first-class physical fitness, not much demand for the ball, super defensive ability, although the shooting is unstable, but the comprehensive fast break, air cut, breakthrough and other offensive abilities are not pale, as long as they run in well with Thibodeau's defensive system, and each practice a unique skill, it is the perfect championship puzzle.

Then there are the fighters of the three blue-collar players of Potsbilla, Matt Barnes and Chris Anderson, as well as Dio, an alternative interior player with first-class adaptability, and Crawford, a natural super sixth man.

Al Jefferson is in an awkward position, his height and basket skills are always out of place, and injuries have always worried Jiang Qi. Ariza will not stay in the team as long as he plays, and Chris Dujon is decent, but he can't make much more breakthroughs......

As for Uncle Mu, the uniform team has already talked to Uncle Mu, and the league legend is more to help Thibodeau manage the locker room, as well as to tune . Coaching the team's interior line, although the uncle now occasionally goes on the court and shakes his fingers, has embraced the position and is ready to officially become a member of the Atlanta coaching staff in the coming years.

Veteran Van Exel has not given the coaching staff a headache for his character since joining the team, showing more of a veteran's poise and experience, and he has spoken to Thibodeau that if the future of the Hawks is anything to look forward to, he will choose to sign him back at the end of his contract this season with a veteran base salary.

There is also the king of street ball, Thibodeau was originally going to use Alstom as the starting point guard, but with the transformation of Van Exell and the emergence of Dior, Alstom became a member of the rotation lineup, and the number of starters was sharply reduced to about one-third, but the ability to empty three points has improved, and in this way, although Alstom has not played much time, the data is very bright, at least the average is close to 10+5 per game.

In this way, the team's framework is completed, there is still a lot of room for maneuvering in the 2005 draft and free agents, and there is already a trade plan with a draft, Jiang Qi feels that the foundation for this season is gradually being consolidated.

In the Far East, in the face of the Colombian Caldas team that won the Copa Libertadores upset, Xiao Ma's debut was quite smooth, although the score of 1:0 was not beautiful, but it ensured that AC Milan once again defended the last Toyota Cup, and the commemorative significance may be greater than the championship itself.

In the blink of an eye, things on the American side came to an end, Jiang Qi returned to Milan to prepare for the winter campaign that began in January, from winter to spring, this period is often the time when the team is most likely to fall, and in the middle of the long league, all kinds of difficulties will become obstacles to the team's progress, so Lao Jiang's nerves have been screwed up again.

It's just that after returning to Milan, the first thing Jiang Qi saw was two old friends, Fa Xiao Yang Lei and Da Shao Ding Fei.

It was still when they first came to Milan that they sat around the restaurant of the Strand Hotel, and after ordering, Jiang Qi was the first to ask how the two old friends were doing.

Yang Lei smiled and said, "So-so." But looking at his somewhat fat figure, it is obvious that the quality of life is quite good.

However, Ding Fei said directly and happily: "After the Olympic Games, the attention of our Tianchao Women's Volleyball League this year has suddenly increased, not only the ratings, but also the ball market has become a lot hotter, and there are more advertisers......"

However, he quickly restrained his smile, "But I also understand that winning the Olympic championship can only bring short-term effects, and it is only right to want the league to develop, increase the excitement of the game, balance the strength of the teams, and make the league have more suspense, but this aspect is ......."

Ding Dashao's face was embarrassed, "It's true that there are not many ways." ”

Jiang Qi can understand the difficulties in the volleyball league, firstly, the league is not commercialized, the team is still a local system, and the flow of players cannot be like the football league, and secondly, even if the flow of players is realized, those teams with good results and teams with large local investment will become sycamores, and the gap between strength and weakness will be more obvious...... Considering factors such as the National Games, it is indeed not easy to balance the strength of the teams in the league.

"Well, ......", Jiang Qi didn't have a good way for a while, input determines output, this is actually the same criterion in the sports circle, in terms of the European Football League, as long as there is a large amount of investment behind it, the strength of the team will leap in a short period of time, which will affect the pattern of the entire league, such as Chelsea.

Lao Jiang slowly leaned on the back of the seat, and subconsciously rubbed his forehead with his hand to relieve the fatigue of the journey, but a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind.
