: 209. Suddenly good things

After finishing the Timberwolves on January 30, the Hawks returned to Atlanta the next day and did not have time to rest. On the morning of February 1, the NBA officially announced the All-Star bench list selected by the coach.
The Eastern Conference All-Star bench lineup includes: Heat's Alonzo Mourning, Celtics' Paul Pierce, Pacers' Jermaine O'Neal, Nets' Jason Kidd, and Magic's Trey West McGrady, the Bucks Ray Allen and the Eagles Jason Terry.
The Western Conference All-Star bench lineup includes: Supersonic Gary Payton, Kings Chris Webber and Peja Stojakovic, Mavericks Dirk Nowitzki and Steve Nash, and Michael Finley, Elton Brand of the Clippers.
Jason Terry finally squeezed into the All-Star bench!
But the Hawks did not give Jason Terry time to celebrate, and No. 1 and No. 2 ushered in back-to-back home games with the Warriors and Raptors.
Future veteran Gilbert Arenas is also one of the hottest players in this rookie. This rookie is one of the few players who averaged double figures per game, but his knee is really crisp, rookie. After playing 37 games in the season, he was basically reimbursed, and he withdrew from the competition for the best rookie lineup. It is predicted to come back in April, but then it was too late.
In addition to Arenas, last season was also the first in the Western Conference. The penultimate Warriors in the league also had a No. 5 draft pick, Jason Richardson.
Speaking of the 2001 draft, the Bulls and Warriors were really bad blood for the team that was rotten for a year last year. One of the top three picks was not caught, fell to fifth, and the Bulls failed to get the top pick. Kwame Brown, in this way, the Bulls are not bad luck, and the boxing champion is not bad.
Kwame Brown's physical talent and the high school exhibitors really have nothing to say, especially defense.
Jason Richardson played very miserably at the beginning of the season and was suppressed by the expressive Arenas. However, after Arenas was injured in early January, after Jason Richardson had absolute possession, He averaged 17 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists per game.
However, Jason Richardson performed very well in the past two months. Except for the dunk, there is nothing outstanding, resulting in an average of 10 points until now. At the end of the season, there may be 13 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists per game. The data.
However, despite the recent good statistics, Jason Richardson threatened Liu Mang ’s name as the first rookie guard to be a bit difficult, and the record gap was too big.
In particular, the two teams competed directly this time. The Hawks did not make the mistake of losing to the Bulls last time. Regardless of how they feel, they firmly defended their belief from the beginning. They should not be underestimated because their opponents are weak.
East first! Rarely holding the first place in the East, how can the Hawks players hand over and return to the Nets or Pistons?
From the beginning, the Hawks didn't give the Warriors a chance. Liu Mang didn't keep his hand against the opponents of the same period. After playing, he scored continuously. He scored 15 points in the first half and firmly suppressed Jason Richardson.
The current slam dunk is not the future sharpshooter, scoring all rely on wild shots, of course, this is the way the Warriors train rookies, anyway, they are sloppy, give two rookies crazy, but unfortunately you can see the talent The better season was reimbursed in less than half.
116 to 87, the Eagles slaughtered the Warriors at home with two straight wins and improved their record to 32 wins and 13 losses, gradually widening the gap between the Nets who have lost 15 games and the Pistons who lost 16 games.
...
Having settled in the first place in the East, and having two other players selected for the All-Star bench, the Atlanta media finally couldn't help but praise the Eagles, and it sounded like a gong and drum firecrackers ...
This bad character can't be done!
Everyone thinks that in the face of a Raptors that Carter basically wants to reimburse this season, the Eagles can win very easily. As a result, the Raptors with the mentality of mourning the victory will come to Atlanta. The Hawks came down.
Carter is not really reimbursed. The application for reimbursement is just to add a quota and an injury exception to sign the Puerto Rican player Carlos Arroyo with a short contract.
If Carter ’s knee surgery recovers after two months and then comes back, it is said that the recovery of the injury is beyond expectations. This is a common thing in the NBA. The league also opens its eyes and closes its eyes. The ten-day short contract space is not given to others, it is a compliant operation.
After losing to the Raptors, the Hawks came to Oakland with a lot of stagnation, and the Warriors did it again. The Warriors were unlucky. They met the Eagles who just lost the ball and were scored more than 20 points. , 121 to 97, the Eagles away the Warriors.
The Warriors probably saved a few stars for consecutive players after Black Eight.
After playing the Warriors, the Hawks flew to Phoenix, the first 5 days and 4 battles, the last game, the tenth Western Suns.
This game is not as good as bullying the Warriors. With the combination of Stephen Marbury and Sean Marion inside and outside, the Suns on the bench with Pence Hardaway leading the second team gave a continuous battle. The exhausted Hawks faced a headache.
Stephen Marbury scored 17 points and 15 assists. Sean Marion scored 23 points and 19 rebounds. The two led the Suns to a 97-83 victory over the Hawks at home.
Liu Mang saw that Marbury's offensive attack was a beep, and he was not as independent as he had imagined. He was even quite selfless. He gave the ball when he had a chance. Except for more mistakes, he really couldn't see where he was.
Said the lone wolf!
Liu Mang handed this doubt to Rahim, who is also the 96 golden generation. Rahim is wondering why Liu Mang had such an idea. Before Nash had risen, Marbury was the best player of the 96 golden generation to assist. Although Marbury has the nickname of a lone wolf, there is no selfish wolf nickname.
Chinese fans understand "independence", which translates into English as selfish.
Liu Mang understood it, and then realized that when Marbury sought a deal with the Timberwolves for a big contract, in the eyes of Americans, the candidate of the wolf king who left the wolf pack failed the wolf, lonely. Wolf.
The lone wolf, the lone wolf ... Liu Mang felt that his IQ was not enough, or the Chinese language art was too explosive. A name can actually "change" a player's style of play. "
In fact, when I saw Marbury's 40-year-old play, it should be clear that this cargo pressure is not unique at all ...
In China, in fact, many media reported Yao Ming only after he entered the NBA. He did n’t even know that there was an NBA before. He thought Yao Ming was the invincible player in basketball. He simply wrote the lone wolf as a lone wolf ...
...
...
Finally, after the first five days and four games, the Hawks returned to Atlanta to get a two-day rest period. Counting on a plane, it was actually only more than one day. The 8th and 9th, the Hawks will play a media back-to-back home and away The "Eastern Finals Preview" in our mouth.
Back at the parking lot of the Atlanta Airport, Liu Mang, tired and mainly mentally exhausted, just wanted to go home by bus. After receiving a call, coach Kruger pulled Liu Mang directly into his car.
"Coach, what's the matter?" Liu Mang asked.
"Good thing, follow me to the stadium." Coach Kruger seemed a little excited.
"Good thing? Was it Uncle Callahan who brought his baby granddaughter to introduce me as a girlfriend?" Liu Mang followed Emmanuelle for a long time and also learned badly.
"Dream! If Steven knew that your idea of ​​hitting his granddaughter would be desperate to work with you, the cow would eat grass and would like to stretch his head. Don't harm the granddaughter." Coach Kruger said helplessly.
Cows want to stretch their heads when they eat grass? Liu Mang didn't understand much, probably understand that the American version of rabbits don't eat the grass.
But what is scourge! Is the young man in your coach's mind a person who harms other girls?
Liu Mang is also kidding, but is he really curious about what is good?
...
An hour later, Liu Mang and coach Kruger came to the Phillips Arena. Coach Kruger took him to the office of boss Steven Price. The boss came to the team today.
In addition to Steven Price, Liu Mang also saw a man who seemed to be a bit familiar ~ EbookFREE.me ~ but the style was a bit singular.
"Oh, Ace, Long, you are finally back. This is the official CEO Adam Silva." Steven Price was very excited and enthusiastic to leave the inside with a hair of Adam Xi Elva introduced to the two.
Coach Kruger was the first to see the vice president formally, and shook hands gently.
It was Liu Mang, who was a little unbelievable when shaking hands.
The school flower actually has hair!
This……
What did the future school flowers experience!
Manu, you are not alone!
"Hello, Ace, I ’m going to take a plane to Los Angeles in a moment, and I ’ll just say that. Congratulations on being an alternate All-Star for the 2002 Philadelphia All-Star Weekend Official Game, replacing Vince Carter who retired due to injury. All-Star Player of the year. "Adam Silva finished giving the trophy with the English name of Ace Liu to Liu Mang.
Liu Mang, who was studying the hair of the school, did not respond for a while. He took the little trophy and glanced. It was not as handsome as the All-Star MVP. When he took other people ’s things, he habitually said: "Thank you."
This came a little bit suddenly! Liu Mang reacted for a while, and when Adam Silva was gone, the boss was also excited to take coach Kruger to discuss something. Liu Mang went to the parking lot and found that his "vehicle" was not there. I remembered that I came from coach Kruger's car. My bike is still at home!
In the eyes of the other three, Liu Mang was not very excited. He was very atmospheric, and he had the style of a future "superstar". His heart was awesome. He was indeed a "hidden genius" who climbed up from the second round.
In fact, Liu Mang was purely because this thing that had never been considered came too suddenly, and there was no reaction for a while ...
