Entering the fourth quarter with a 14-point advantage, Ke Yan sat firmly on the Diaoyutai.On the contrary, it was Van Gundy who was under great pressure, and no one wanted to lose to his former assistant, let alone Ke Yan who was kicked out by him.

The strength of the role players is average, Van Gundy decided to stagger the use of McGrady and Yao Ming, allowing Yao Ming to appear at the beginning of the fourth quarter, attacking the weakness of the Lakers inside.

Insufficient inside manpower is the natural weakness of the Lakers. It is indeed a wide-open door to Yao Ming's lethal insiders, but Ke Yan started to target from the source, and decisively arranged House and Delfino to pinch Sue, who had a deviation in passing awareness. Pull, not to be able to steal the ball, but to be able to delay the time for Sura to take the ball.While Diop was dead on the inside, Barnes on the outside paid close attention to the flanking attack on Yao Ming. Once Yao Ming got the ball, he immediately launched a flanking attack.

At this time in Huaxia, in the canteen of the university, the male students surrounded the TV three floors inside and outside the three floors. They cheered whenever the Mosaic team scored, and regretted whenever Yao Ming failed to score. The quality almost uttered curses directly.

As the game progressed, the regret was obviously louder.The female students passing by didn't need to see the TV screen to know that the Mosaic team lost.

"Anyway, Ke Yan is also from China, you can't do that, right?" Some girls also expressed puzzlement at the dejected reaction of the boys, aren't they all from our own?

"What do you know?" Seeing that he was about to lose, the boy was in a bad mood and replied disdainfully.

They are all Chinese, and the feelings that Chinese people pour into are still different.Wang Zhizhi entered the NBA earlier than Yao Ming, and he has never made people worry about it. Battelle was even the first Asian to win an NBA championship ring, but not many people are proud of this ring.Yao Ming landed in the NBA and reached his current position step by step. Many NBA fans have been gradually cultivated since he entered the NBA. Unless a domestic guard with Kobe and Tracy McGrady enters the NBA later, it will be difficult for anyone to touch porcelain. Yao Ming.

As for Ke Yan, his situation is more complicated.First of all, before becoming the assistant coach of the Lakers, he was completely unknown to the fans. Even before the fans fully knew him, he became the head coach of the Lakers "with lightning speed".For the fans, it’s like suddenly having a relative come back from abroad. Graduated from Harvard, you will show it off to the outside world. My family XX came back from abroad, but it is definitely not as friendly as the relatives who grew up with me; Compared with the players, there is a natural sense of distance.Just like comparing Zhuge Liang and Xun Yu, who are loyal and good-looking, most boys must look forward to becoming unparalleled warriors like Zhao Yun and Ma Chao, for a reason.

Even being regarded as a "villain" by fans in his own country, it still failed to prevent Ke Yan from leading the Lakers to victory.The decline in Yao Ming's physical strength in the fourth quarter became the Achilles' heel of the Mosaic team, and the Mosaic team missed consecutive attacks.

As long as the Mosaic team can't make a shot, Odom will push back as soon as he grabs the rebound, Yao Ming will be more tired after running after him, and if he can't run back, the Lakers will play more and less. Dragged down the Mosaic team.The final score was fixed at 101:114. The Lakers won the away game, extending their lead over the Mosaic team to two games, and regained their fifth position in the Western Conference. (37-20)

Although he maintains the sixth ranking in the Western Conference with himself, and is gradually drifting away from the general direction of the Supersonics, Ke Yan does not feel that now is the time to control the ranking. Right now, the morale of the Lakers is high, and they will work hard to achieve a good result. You can increase your reputation.

After the game, Ke Yan was invited to visit Yao Ming's home.

Ke Yan was the coach of the Mosaic team before. Although he and Yao Ming are just colleagues at work and have a personal relationship, they are both Chinese working in the United States after all, so there must be some support.Ke Yan has been here as a guest before and drank the "chicken soup made by mother" that Yao Ming praised countless times.

"Come on, try my mother's cooking skills, not to brag to you, it must be better than the restaurant!"

Fang Feng bumped into his son and said with a smile: "Just do it as soon as you can, Xiao Ke, you can eat as soon as you can."

Ke Yan took a bite, whether it tastes good or not is another matter, anyway, it is authentic enough, "Oh, Auntie, you don't know, I haven't eaten such an authentic local dish for a long time. My girlfriend and I ate Los Angeles As many Chinese restaurants as there are, there are only two Cantonese dishes that are still authentic."

"Look, Ke Yan said so, Mom, don't be modest." Yao Ming continued to support his mother.

"Xiao Ke likes to eat local dishes? Are you from Shanghai, too?"

"Let's drive for two hours, I'm from Sioux City."

"Oh, that's very close~"

After a meal, Ke Yan's mouth was never idle, and he was always served with food. It was not good to refuse, and he couldn't eat if he didn't refuse. Finally, he burped, and Fang Feng stopped.

Ke Yan felt a little overwhelmed, and helped put away the bowls and chopsticks, and then sat on the sofa and didn't want to move.

Knowing that Yao Ming and Ke Yan had something to talk about, Fang Feng made them two cups of tea to relieve their boredom, turned around and went back to the room, leaving the living room to Yao Ming and Ke Yan.

"I thought you had great ideas when I was in the Mosaic team, but being the head coach of the Lakers within two years is really beyond my expectations. I thought you would be buried for many years." Yao Ming said.

The NBA environment is indeed not friendly to the Chinese, which is well reflected in Yao Ming. For example, in terms of the referee's whistle-blowing scale, Yao Ming is generally at a disadvantage.

Ke Yan's ranking in the Mosaic, Suns and even the Lakers, assistant coaching team has always been honored guests.That is to say, Tomjanovich trusted him, gave him many opportunities to perform, and won the support of Hamblen and Kobe before Tomjanovich was admitted to the hospital.

Coupled with the fact that Jim Buss didn't want Jenny's Phil Jackson to return, Kupchak wanted to keep his authority, so he only chose Keyan between Phil Jackson and Keyan.The two teamed up to push Ke Yan into position.

"Unexpected, it's reasonable." Ke Yan said confidently.

"The basketball management center asked me to ask you, do you want to consider working for the national team?" Yao Ming asked suddenly.

"..." Ke Yan's eyes widened, "Didn't Yunus do a good job?"

"It's not a coach, and it's impossible for you to give up your job in the NBA and return to China, isn't it~" Yao Ming said quickly, "They want you to be a consultant to help make some on-the-spot adjustments during the competition."

Just like the dream team in the 04 Athens Olympics, the head coach is Larry Brown, and Popovich serves as an assistant.The leaders of the basketball management center may also know that Ke Yan has a firm foothold in the NBA, and it is impossible to be an assistant coach for Jonas, so he changed his title to "consultant".

If it is really beneficial to the country, even if it is to sacrifice some personal rest time, Ke Yan doesn't care about the titles of "consultant" and "teaching assistant". He doesn't care about these feathers, but the problem is that it is not suitable!

First, Jonas is in charge of the national team. If you rashly put a consultant in, what would he think?In particular, Ke Yan was not a leader who arranged to join the coaching staff to earn experience points, he was still a well-known new coach.If the two had a disagreement, Yunas was worried that Keyan would remonstrate him!

Second, a coach like Ke Yan with his own clear tactical style is not suitable for the national team, at least not suitable for leading the national team part-time.He is a coach who needs to find players according to his own tactics, and the national team mostly selects the strongest players in the country into the national team and then runs in.It does not rule out whether there are parties among the various CBA teams, whether the leaders will dictate the player list, and so on.Ke Yan has no family, no faction and no foundation, let alone cover this situation.

Basketball is not about fighting and killing, it's about the ways of the world!

Ke Yan opened his mouth, but stopped talking.Immediately, Yao Ming understood his choice, and waved his hand: "I understand what you mean, pretend I haven't told you this."

"If there is a day when Huaxia basketball needs me to do something, I will definitely be able to define it. But I really don't want to be regarded as a 'mascot', a tool for publicity, or a point of hype traffic, you understand ?"

Although he is a human being in two lives, he is also used to seeing some dark things outside the court.But Ke Yan really hates it from the bottom of his heart, and doesn't want to be a tool in the hands of the superior.
