Chapter 259 The Eagles' Struggle
The Eagles are very competitive right now!Especially in the east!
The first is that Al Horford, who loved the injury, played with full blood in this game, and the second is that Joe Johnson has not yet become a real team cancer!

Why do I say that Joe Johnson is a cancer? It is very simple. If it is a cancer in both aspects of the team, it is a cancer, no matter what his data is or how he performs!Of course, if the performance was really that good, it wouldn't be a cancer!But I'm not talking about performance, but other!
The first is his contract!I don't need to say more about this. I believe anyone who watches the NBA will have heard of his big contract. The second is a very important and fatal problem arising from the extension of this contract!
The boss of the team or the tactical core of the team!Joe Johnson is not qualified at all!
Of course!I'm talking about the kind of star who can enter the second round of the playoffs, or some stars whose salary level is equal to his!Or just say superstar!
Joe Johnson may be a star, but he is a little too far away from being a superstar!

The Eagles have always been a very interesting team!Because this team knows what to do!Winning the championship in history shows that the management of this team is very shrewd!Winning a championship from a team like the Lakers, Celtics, and New York in that year was not an easy task in itself!
After the NBA entered the fast lane and the era of capitalism, the Eagles are also frequent visitors to the playoffs. From Wilkins to Mutombo, the Eagles team does not lack powerful stars or even superstars!
And the Eagles know how to choose some things very well, not to say how good their draft picks are, but just to explain that the probability of doing something wrong is lower than that of other teams in the same situation!

We all know that during this year, the Eagles saw that Joe had become a cancer of the team. After the team was hindered, the Eagles made a quick move. It can be said that they wanted to get rid of Joe's influence, and the exchange may not be their own. I want it, but the probability of doing something wrong is much lower!
Atlanta is not a very good fertile ground for the NBA. Although I don’t know the basketball culture of the NBA or even the United States, I still know one thing. Compared with other teams, the Eagles are a veritable small team and a small stadium!

However, an NBA team was established in 1949, and it has survived there for so long, which means a lot!
Now the Eagles are swaying in their own choices!

……

The Eagles really don't have the strength to win a championship this season!The former super sixth man Jamal Crawford left Portland, Bibby also left!The current guard is Jeff Teague in charge!Only this one is considered a qualified defender!
This guard is very young and can be said to represent a certain future player for the Eagles!Um!Whether it is the speed of breakthrough or a certain assist ability, this player must have it!But still in progress!
This is what I want to say is the biggest problem with the current Eagles!Age or strength is out of touch!

How old is Joe Johnson?How many years left on his big contract?You must know that when Joe Johnson became famous, he had a rhythm master like Nash by his side. Now, you want him to be willing to cooperate with a guard who is smaller than yourself, ha ha!I just want to ask, what does the Eagles want to do?
Is it because the team's salary is limited, and it is necessary to control the salary?Had to find such a defender?
Or do the Hawks want to get closer to an NBA championship lineup and prepare for the future?
Or is it purely a signal that the Hawks want to rebuild?

These are the questions!

When I watch a team, it's very simple. I just want to see what a team wants to do?
For example, the Russian boss of the Nets in our era just wants a championship and wants to win a championship with money!Even if the price is too high, as long as they can win the championship, that is what the Nets want most!
The injury of most of the main players in a season is unexpected!In the second season, if you can't rank in the league's first corps in the East, this will not work!It's that simple!
But take a look at the current lineup of the Eagles!Take a look at what the Eagles have to say!

There must be strength!If there is a rhythm master like Paul or Nash, and an assist master here, he must be at home, and may even win the championship that many players dream of!Of course, the premise is that this lineup really completely obeys the point guard!This point guard also has the strength to play out the true terrifying athleticism and strength of this lineup!
But now?
What if you say that the Eagles want to rebuild?

Maybe!However, the Eagles' record is not bad, so the draft pick will be very bad!The team's contract is also very poor, whether it is Joe, Josh, or Marvin, these players cannot be exchanged for the kind of star that the real Eagles need, or the No. 6 pick that the Eagles want!Even the top [-] may not have a team that wants to change!

What can be replaced is a potential center like Horford!The Eagles are definitely not happy!Otherwise, there may not even be a star!
kindness!I believe that the Eagles management at that time was really struggling to the end!

So we see results!After Horford determined that there was no way to return to the court in a short time, the Eagles quickly attacked and replaced the three I just mentioned, um!It leaves a total salary that many teams, or most teams will envy!

It can be exchanged for two or even three, the total salary of a real superstar!

The Eagles have actually done a good job!

But like I said, the Eagles can only make plans, not the real masters!Why?Small stadium, small ball market!What's more important is that there is no plane tree that attracts the phoenix!

Would you say there is Horford?Isn't there a group of firm and powerful backbone players!

hehe!terribly sorry!First, how many years has Horford been a rookie?How many games has he played over the years since then?Even if he is very capable and an All-Star player, but!How many superstars are there?

If you get someone like Joe Johnson, what's the point?

The second is the soft power of a team!Coaches, arenas, injuries, attention, the media and one more thing, I guess, is the luck of the team!These, to be honest, said too much, and it was a bit of a hit to the Eagles!

So after 11 years, we have seen many, many, the Eagles have contact with this and that superstar, and they want to use whatever bargaining chip to exchange for so and so!Then what?

Not one has anything to do with them!They must be the first batch to be eliminated!

Um!There is still a consolation prize!Millsap!This star that almost all teams miss!A star who is very, very adapted to the current Eagles tactics!

Um!That's the consolation prize!

But even more pain is coming!With the general environment in the Eastern Conference being like this, the Hawks can always enter the playoffs. You think, in such a team with such a strange salary, are the Hawks rebuilding?Or rebuild?Or rebuild?
A unique 'honor' in the league!

……

Jeff took the ball to face Paul's defense, and the other Eagles players waited in their comfort zones!This is a regular tactic of the Eagles, relying on Jeff's breakthrough, attacking the opponent's defender, and then other players catch the ball and attack!

Um!In fact, this is the case!And Joe's singles, pass, cf. above, and then the Eagles attack!
Not to mention, this is really a tactic with a hit rate!You know, in terms of the defensive strength of the back line alone in the league, the Eagles' guards really have a lot of opportunities!Otherwise, the Eagles gave up quickly after Bibby got old, which is the reason!
It's a pity that the Eagles encountered the joint defense of Paul and Allen. Thomas didn't pay attention to the Eagles and watched a few video games. What's more, Thomas was quite concerned about the suggestions of the two super assistant coaches. !Otherwise, Curry will not be replaced for Allen!

Of course, the Eagles will not just use this type of offense!Especially when the Hawks insider Horford still exists!
pick and roll!This is the number two tactic for the Eagles!
The pick-and-roll is not something that any insider can play!But Howard is one of them!When Horford was not injured, the Eagles' pick-and-roll really seemed a little unsolvable!This is also where the team struggles!It is also in such a lineup and environment that the Eagles can also enter the playoffs!
Horford has range and height, no matter how the player with the ball chooses after the pick and roll, there will be a good result!In particular, Horford is on the court as a center. Once he steps forward, he will inevitably raise the opponent's center to a high position. The center defensive back?It is strange that the hit rate is not high!Adding Josh and Marvin, two dubious players who can still shoot, is the second or third choice after the pick-and-roll!
Even the second pick-and-roll, the third pick-and-roll!There must be a little gap!Especially when the strength of these players is not bad!

Joe and Teague have baskets too!After such a pick-and-roll tactic, if the Eagles go crazy, any team will have a very headache!
This is the somewhat unsolvable pick-and-roll of the Eagles!Once you do that, you only have two options!
The first one is to let the center defend the defender alone. The second one is also adopted by most teams, tightly shrink the inside line and bet on the Eagles' shooting percentage!
If Josh can be added to the outside line in the tactics, then many teams will be happy!
This is the biggest difference between Millsap and Josh!It is also one of the reasons why the Eagles are successful and have a hard time with the Pistons!
