: 157. Eagle "3 Less"

After Christmas, the NBA officially entered the middle of the season.
From the Christmas War to the start of the All-Star weekend, it was the most difficult time for all teams.
Physical fitness, war exhaustion, and a long schedule will have a huge impact on the teams.
Often this period is also a period of high incidence of injuries.
But in the same way, this time is the time for the strong team and the weak team to open the gap. It is the real strong team that can rely on the comprehensive strength to sustain the record in this difficult schedule.
All teams understand this truth, but not much can be done!
The Hawks are now firmly in the fourth and the fifth Magic is good, but they can only win by relying on Maddie ’s super-skills. This way of winning is not reliable, even if McGrady does become a superstar this year It is no problem for the team to maintain fifth place, but it is really difficult to go further.
So the Hawks are sitting around.
Hold on, hold on to the fourth. In this mid-season that is both difficult and also an opportunity, the coaching staff's expectations for the players are that if the Pistons can't persist, they will take advantage of this situation!
Eastern second! This goal filled the Eagles with momentum.
They all want to be better. After four days of rest, the Eagles with two consecutive defeats and humiliation embarked on the journey.
The first thing they encountered was the Cavaliers.
The Cavaliers are rotten, and they are not completely rotten. The penultimate in the east, there is a heart that wants to rotten, but even the rotten skills are not as good as the Heat and the Bulls.
The Eagles saw them pitifully and helped them decisively.
On December 28, the Hawks' first game after Christmas ushered in the Cleveland Cavaliers at home.
A few days ago, they were abused by the Pacers and the Pistons back to back. The Hawks were very upset, but they couldn't even get revenge for a while.
You have to find a team to vent!
Coincidentally, the Cavaliers came.
After the game started, Raheem, who had been miserable in two consecutive games before O'Neal and Ben Wallace, started the runaway mode after playing. He continued to eat and kill in the inner line, and the Cavaliers were dumbfounded.
Who are we messing with?
Rahim screamed, Jason Terry came again, all kinds of wavers, but in the past few days Jason Terry still practiced three points ...
After the first quarter, when Raheem and Jason Terry were replaced, the Cavaliers felt they could play well, Liu Mang came ...
The last time the Hawks went to Cleveland to play, Liu Mang was okay, but it can't be said that it was good. At that time, Liu Mang made a foul, and he scored more than ten points for various fouls.
The Cavaliers player's idea is that you make a foul, whatever you want, as long as it's not as irritable as Jason Terry and Rahim.
However, Liu Mang's progress is not what the Cavaliers can imagine.
After Liu Mang pretended to retreat after a strong attack, after a weird posture appeared, and after making three three-pointers in the second quarter, the Cavaliers players collapsed ...
Give me the ball and I want to go home! This is what the Cavaliers say ...
...
112 to 87, the Hawks slaughtered the Cavaliers in their first game after Christmas to end their two-game losing streak!
Liu Mang made 8 of 13 shots, 5 of 8 three-pointers, and 4 of 6 free throws. The second quarter and the third quarter combined to score 25 points! Explosive efficiency!
Raheem played in the first quarter with 20 points in a single quarter. Jason Terry played in the first and third quarters. He made 20 crazy shots and scored 28 points on 12-of-20 shooting.
Liu Mang, Jason Terry and Rahim scored 73 points together!
Gradually, due to the team structure of the Eagles, a guard, a strong small forward, and a substitute scorer, the team basically scored by these three people. Slowly in Atlanta, the three had a "group debut The nickname of "The Three Young Eagles!"
When Liu Mang heard the nickname, it hurt so badly, what did it indicate?
This nickname is not so good!
In addition, Liu Mang felt that he and Jason Terry called "less" and barely accepted that he was a rookie. Jason Terry was only 3 years old, but Rahim played in the sixth season, 25 Years old……
25 years old?
Liu Mang thought about it for a while, and it seems that he is not too old. In the future, the triple-double king will be more than 30. Isn't he still called "less" ...
It's going to happen, anyway, there is a nickname not ...
...
...
Playing the Cavaliers is so irritable, in addition to a bad habit of accumulating four days of anger, there is the next day to leave Atlanta to play away, Texas two consecutive guests.
Two opponents, the strong one is the opponent on the first day of the New Year in 2002, the San Antonio Spurs.
But for Liu Mang's side, the more important opponent is the first one to challenge the Houston Rockets away on December 30!
For so long, Liu Mang had almost forgotten this thing, but when he saw the schedule, the familiar red team logo, Liu Mang immediately remembered it.
The first opponent when you came to this world!
The first superstar to play against, Steve Francis!
Boss!
This character is bold, but too stubborn, and eventually ended up in the NBA.
Regarding Francis, Liu Mang ’s impression is generally good. He helped Dayao fight back and bullied Dayao ’s opponents. During the third game of the first round of the 2004 playoffs against the Lakers, he scored four professional three-pointers and scored his first career career. One victory.
After that, Francis was traded to the Magic, and his heart was gone. Afterwards, he continued to be injured and retired after playing for seven or eight seasons.
But now Francis is really popular!
The eye-catching and unprecedented two-point guard style, the one-handed scoring and organization activates the scoring ability of the old cat Cardino Mobley. In addition to the shooting choices, it can be said that this year's Francis really did This name, which is not yet available, is perfectly interpreted.
It's just that the Rockets are really poor inside, so to speak, when the team's rebounder is the point guard, you know that this team is 100% off.
The last point guard who was the team ’s rebounding leader was Oscar Robertson, a top ten player in history. He won the first round of the Kings in the years when he took the rebounding leader. Instead, he had the lowest rebounding years. The playoffs were so strong that they won the championship.
It is worth mentioning that he went to the Bucks in the past few years to partner with Jabal.
Even Magic Johnson's rebounding is so powerful ~ EbookFREE.me ~ is not the team's rebounder. It is still worth mentioning that the Magic won't leave Jabal after winning the championship.
The most terrible thing is coming, Ocas Robertson is a star of the 1960s, the magician is a star of the 80s ...
Fighting with Mr. Fu, Liu Mang is very excited whether or not he has a task!
Liu Mang didn't fully react to what happened when he first played against the boss, and he just finished a game in such a vague way and spent a precious top star card.
Now Liu Mang knows how precious the top star card is. The first star card makes him feel the three-point feeling of a historic pitcher. With a foothold, the second star card allows him to have a strong counterattack. With a new insight, Liu Mang ’s well-known counterattack skills at the peak of Mamba ’s peak gave Liu Mang many more counterattack options!
...
Arriving in Houston, Liu Mang feels as if he has come from a "sub-modern" "old city" Atlanta to a modern city!
It's not that Atlanta is worn out, but it's a problem of this era. In Atlanta, I basically can't see anything that Liu Mang can consider as a high-tech gadget.
But it ’s different in Houston. Although it ’s really going to be said, it still lags behind Liu Mang ’s modernization for many years ... but at least it can the smog!
It's not particularly exaggerated. It's the feeling that the fog hasn't completely spread out from a distance, but you are quite sure that the weather will not be fogged.
This is the familiar modern city!
But Liu Mang was a little strange when he came to Houston.
Generally speaking, he went to a city with a contradiction to the opponent ’s star this year, not to mention being ridiculed by the opponent ’s fans at the airport, at least he will also see some propaganda about the game, such as ridicule, but Houston just did n’t. !
