Chapter 470: 4 consecutive victories! Perfect start!

Successfully won three consecutive victories, bid farewell to Westbrook, the Lakers once again went away.
This time came out four away games, and only now have played two, there are two more.
But the next opponent is more interesting, the Indiana Pacers.
To be honest, Xu Xuan did not expect to return to his old club so soon.
But this old club is a bit different from the Knicks. He has enjoyed two very good seasons in Indiana, and the fans here also love him.
Coach Frank is also deeply touched, returning to Indiana again has a feeling of a lifetime, especially when I see that group of fans.
They arrived in Indiana on the afternoon of the 31st, and the game began tomorrow.
In the evening, Xu Xuan had a treat and gathered with a group of old friends, including pickled peppers, and even Big Bird came, giving Xu Xuan a lot of face.
In the final analysis, Xu Xuan did not leave for no reason. He won the honor for this place and returned the trophy. The fans of India City worship him more than anything else.
The new head coach Nate McMillan also came, and had a good chat with Frank.
Well, it doesn't mean that every successor and predecessor are enemies, and there are many good relationships.
Of course, when it comes to the tactical level, everyone looked at each other and smiled. Even if the two knew each other well, now, they are not sure what kind of routine the other side will come up with.
Xu Xuan and his old friends gathered together, and the Lakers players were inexplicable.
Take a look, take a look, this is the gap. Back then, LeBron James' forehead was blown up. Xu Xuan also changed teams. Why is the gap so big.
...
Returning to the past, the two teams played very well the next day.
The Pacers have walked a lot of people this year. Xu Xuan went to the Lakers, George Hill went to the Jazz, West went to the Spurs, Hibbert retired, McGee and Tucker are still there, and Lavoye is also a live treasure. .
Of course there have been places like Jeff Teague, Monta Ellis, Thaddeus Young, Miles Turner...
It can be said that the current Pacer has nothing to do with the Pacers who won the championship last season, except for a core player, pickled pepper.
...
The two teams played very well. Nate McMillan’s coaching style is still a bit different from Frank. Nate McMillan emphasizes tactics, while Frank emphasizes the unity and cooperation between players.
The two teams tied in the first quarter. In the second quarter, the Lakers came off the bench very well, leading slightly. They were chased back in the third quarter, and the two teams continued until the fourth quarter.
The fans who came to the Banker’s Life Arena to watch the game looked at the familiar face in the No. 23 jersey and said that it’s impossible to have no thoughts in their hearts. They just sighed with emotion. To this person, they I really can't hate it.
In the end of the game, the Lakers won.
The Pacers' tactics are quite clear to Frank. The so-called change of soup or dressing, Nate McMillan wants to change for a while, it takes time.
In the end, the Lakers won the game. At the end of the game, Xu Xuan bent down and bowed his head to the fans.
This is grateful, grateful for their continued support and love.
The fans were very moved and gave Xu Xuan applause.
At this moment, in a mansion in Cleveland, the man named LeBron James felt sour, sour and sour...just like a basket of lemons.
unfair!
unfair!
This is really unfair!
Everyone is a transfer, so if you say you don’t scold, it’s fine, do you still applaud?
Do you still support him?
What is this...what kind of ecstasy did they give you, which can fascinate you like this.
At this moment, Mr. Zhan really admitted that he had forgotten it, and he didn't even understand.
Is there any magic in Xu Xuan, the hanging man?
When he saw this scene, he remembered how he was sprayed by Cavaliers fans and Heat fans at the time, and Madd, who didn't dare to show it during that time.
Compared to Xu Xuan's treatment, it was so embarrassing.
Kenny Smith also commented: "This should be the most harmonious superstar player transfer I have ever seen. The fans in India are good."
"Is this Xu Xuan's personality charm? God, he has only played here for two years. If he played here for twenty years...it is hard to imagine what kind of scene it would be like!" Buck Lee said excitedly.
Anyone who sees Xu Xuan bow, the fans on the spot can not be indifferent, this is the most sincere interaction between the players and the fans.
In the post-match interview, Xu Xuan also said that he had been very happy in Indiana for less than two years. He liked the fans, colleagues, architecture, culture...Here is him Where it was originally grown.
At this moment, if the irritable Miami fans hear Lao Zhan say this, they will definitely choke on one sentence: "You grow up Nima, and are you happy? I'm happy to make you happy, make you happy!!!"
The fans in Yincheng are different. They really feel the sincere feelings in Xu Xuan's heart.
James: "I am sincere too!"
The grumpy old man from Miami: "You are sincere, Nima, sincere! Bah!"
James: "..."
Can not communicate.
...
At the end of the game, while the Lakers won four consecutive victories, Xu Xuan's personal data was also very impressive.
32 points, 9 assists, 4 rebounds, 2 steals, 2 blocks!
After four games, he averaged 34 points, 8.7 assists, 5.7 rebounds, 1 steal and 0.5 blocks per game.
The scoring average is second only to Westbrook's 39.5 points, ranking second in the league.
... Westbrook averaged 39.5 points, 10 assists, and 11 rebounds in four games... This hanging man is absolutely crazy.
...
After playing the Pacers, only one of the Lakers' four away games remains.
The last game was a back-to-back game. Continuous away back-to-back games were the last thing the players wanted to encounter. Frank didn’t have much demand for the last game. After all, four away games won three games and they are still so strong. For his opponent, the task has been completed.
After the game with Indiana on the 1st night, he flew directly to Atlanta in the evening.
It wasn't until two o'clock in the morning that everyone arrived in Atlanta. It took half an hour on the way to the hotel, and it was more than three o'clock when they were ready to go to bed after taking a shower.
What Frank asked for was to gather at 11:30. Xu Xuan didn’t have any thoughts to train anymore. No need. Others were tired. He was tired too. Westbrook’s physical talent didn’t make him feel tired. He could just as well. I feel tired, but the limit he can endure is very high. The average person may be finished in two or three minutes, and he may persist for more than an hour!
...
The Eagles’ biggest deal this year should be the signing of Warcraft Howard, which is worth $70.5 million in three years.
Howard is 30 years old this year. He played 71 regular season games with the Rockets last season, averaging 13.7 points, 11.8 rebounds, 1.6 blocks per game and shooting 62% from the field. In the playoffs, he averaged 13.2 points, 14 rebounds, 1.3 blocks and a 54.2% shooting percentage. For the Hawks, Howard has extremely high value. His rebounding and defense can provide the Hawks with a lot of help.
It stands to reason that the age of 30 has indeed not gone downhill, which is why World of Warcraft is still very popular.
Last season, Howard fired the famous agent Dan Fegan and hired O'Neal's former agent Rogers, with the goal of getting a long-term maximum salary contract this summer. According to regulations, Howard can get a contract with a starting salary of more than 30 million US dollars this summer. Because of this, Howard jumped out of his last year contract with the Rockets worth more than 23 million US dollars and became a free agent.
However, the famous Howard Baker interviewed a number of league executives, and they all said that they are willing to give Howard a maximum annual salary of 13-15 million US dollars and will never give him a maximum salary contract. Because Howard refused to adjust his low post play style in the small ball era, coupled with the criticism of his desire to win, his market is not high.
But later, Howard might also want to understand, adjusted his psychological expectations, he took the initiative to lower the requirements, seeking a contract with a starting salary of about 24 million US dollars. In the end, he negotiated with the Eagles and the average annual salary of the three-year $70.5 million contract between the two parties exceeded $23 million.
In addition to Howard, the Eagles also renewed Kent Baezmore with a four-year contract of 70 million and the final year as a player option.
He played very well with the Hawks last season, averaging 11.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.3 steals per game, and he firmly established his starting position. He was also robbed in the free market for a while, and went to Houston to talk with the Rockets at a high level. At that time, it was reported that Bazemore was seeking a large contract with an annual salary of between 19 million and 20 million. You must know his annual salary last season. Only 2 million dollars.
According to NBA official website reporter David Aldridge broke the news, the Rockets and the Lakers have offered Baezmore a four-year contract of 72 million yuan. Such a price is not very competitive. In the end, Baezmore chose to stay. eagle. After all, the Hawks only reached an agreement with Howard earlier, and Baezmore is more willing to partner with a super center.
After Xu Xuan left, and the Pacers won the championship, the Eagles still wanted to do something, and they lacked a stumbling block. As long as the Eastern Conference still has ideas about the championship, it is impossible to wait and die.
November 2nd, 7 pm.
The game between the two teams officially began.
On the Lakers side, the starting line has changed. The main reason is that after playing three consecutive away games, the boys are a bit tired. Therefore, Frank’s game is played by Xu Xuan, Lu Wei, Ci Shiping, Randall and Yi. Jane Lian's starting.
The Hawks sent Schroder, Korver, Bazemore, Millsap and Howard's starting lineup.
Following the referee's signal, Yi Jianlian and Howard stepped to the free throw line to prepare for the jump ball.
Howard and Yi Jianlian... are old opponents. Howard is three-term company than Yi Jian. When Yi Jianlian first entered the league, Howard has already risen up.
But it's the first time to jump the ball, after all, Yi Jianlian used to play power forward.
Warcraft jumped to the ball, this guy has too much upper limb strength, and he has an extraordinary talent for upper limb strength.
Yi Jianlian is a bit embarrassed... Frank's main purpose for starting him is to get him to jump more balls... The ball hasn't been jumped since the regular season, some of the reasons are luck, some are because of strength .
The Eagles first attack.
The Hawks' tactics are still relatively traditional. There is no way. Signing Howard means that their tactics must be traditional. However, the combination of Millsap and Howard can attack and defend.
In the eleventh minute of the first quarter, the two teams basically tied, 34 to 37, and the Eagles led by 3 points at home.
In this quarter, Howard performed well, shooting 2 of 4 in a single quarter, 5 of 8 free throws, 9 points, 5 rebounds and 1 steal.
However, it was not him who performed the best in the first quarter of the Warcraft team, but Tim Hardaway, who came off the bench.
Xu Xuan's old friend.
Tim Hardaway Jr. was traded to the Hawks last season. The Hawks only paid the price of Jeremy Grant, the 19th pick of the year, for Hardaway from the Knicks.
In the season before being replaced, in the 14-15 season, Hardaway Jr. averaged 11.5 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 24 minutes per game.
In terms of performance, the Knicks traded him for a rookie with the No. 19 in the first round, not worth it, and unnecessary.
But at that time Phil Jackson still made this deal~EbookFREE.me~ From the perspective of the time, no one else could say anything, but later generations proved that Tim’s strength was not weak. He averaged 19.1 points, 2.7 assists, and 3.5 rebounds per game.
This guy still looks like that hippie smiling face, and he is also rough during the game. He is a trick.
During the break, Xu Xuan gave him a thumbs-up. This guy just shot 5 of 6 and 4 of 5 three-pointers. With an incredible shooting rate, he scored 14 points in a single quarter, which is more than Xu Xuan scored in a single quarter. high.
You must know that Xu Xuan only scored 8 points, 4 assists and 2 rebounds in this quarter.
Both sides scored high. The Eagles even scored 37 points thanks to the excellent performance of Tim Hardaway Jr.
Playing against a team like the Eagles is different from playing against the Mosaic and the Thunder. This Eagle is very traditional. They have a fierce defensive inside line and the league’s top outside shooter (Korver). Defending them will be difficult because of their offensive methods. Many, both inside and outside, the offense is very efficient.
It is difficult to prevent them from scoring, but Frank's method is to attack against attack!
Our defense is not as good as the other party, so we can only fight for our own strengths. At the same time, Frank strengthened his defense against Frank and tried not to let this guy catch the ball.
No one wants to see a person with a good feel and outrageous shooting constantly. In order to defend Tim Hardaway Jr., Frank even sent Matt Barnes and Ci Shiping's double defensive forward to limit Tim Jr. Hardaway.
The result is that Tim Hardaway Jr. played more than 3 minutes in the second quarter and missed a ball.
The Hawks' previous record was 3 wins and 0 losses. Like the Lakers, they are not defeated. They also want to get a solid ranking for this victory.
