On January 11, the Hawks defeated the Hornets 96-83 in Charlotte in their second consecutive away game, winning their fourth consecutive victory.

It's not certain how much the Hornets' lineup has declined this season. Last season, they had only three players who averaged double figures in points per game, but this season they have five players, including 2000 rookies Lee Nairon and Jamal...

Magloire both had a great sophomore performance, and the bearded Baron Davis continued to improve, from averaging 5.23 per game in the first grade to 13.5.7 in the sophomore year to averaging 20.4.5 per game this season.

, the personal strength of the players is constantly rising.

However, it has been decided to move from Charlotte. I don’t know how many people will stay on the team next season. What are the new boss’s thoughts? A series of other issues have led to the failure of the originally excellent core lineup.

It's getting better year by year. Seeing that all three of last season's major rivals were outplayed, the Hornets, who had been playing well this year and might have made further progress, collapsed inexplicably.

Unlike the Pacers who are still trying hard to compete with the Hawks, the Hornets players are doing their own thing. Jamal Mashburn, the first generation successor to Jordan, just takes the ball and uses it since his rookie season.

The lowest shooting rate, 38% shooting rate, averaged 20 shots per game and scored 21 points. Baron Davis's score increased by a full 7 points this year, but his rebounds and assists have declined.

The big ass is dug inside, just thinking about getting good data, maybe he will be traded, and the data is exactly 20 5 5. The end of the season is the time to renew the contract in advance. If you don’t have good data, you can’t get the maximum salary.

The two core players have no intention of fighting. The Hornets, who only care about data and are unable to compete for a playoff spot, face the Hawks, who are as sharp as an unsheathed blade because of Raheem's hard work. They have basically no power to fight back.

Raheem scored 29 points and 12 rebounds, Jason Terry had 17 points and 6 assists, Liu Mang had 15 points and 5 assists, and Muhammad had 13 points and 13 rebounds. The Hawks easily defeated the Hornets and won their fourth consecutive victory.

Sometimes, reasonable hype based on strength can significantly increase the popularity of a public figure!

On January 12, the first phase of the 18-day All-Star voting was completed.

Carter undoubtedly topped the first voting stage with 530,000 votes.

The second-largest vote-getter in the Eastern Conference is Iverson with 350,000 votes, and the third-ranked player is Jordan with 320,000 votes. The two are ahead by a large margin and occupy the two backcourt positions in the Eastern Conference. McGrady and Liu Mang each have 250,000 votes and the other 22.

With 10,000 votes, we can only watch last season's MVP and the first player in history dominate the backcourt.

Raheem received hundreds of thousands of votes in just three days, ranking second among Eastern Conference forwards with 190,000 votes, far surpassing Antoine Walker's 110,000 votes.

As long as Raheem can maintain his current performance of 24+11 per game without declining, his All-Star position is basically stable. This wave of nonsense, not being favored, and counterattack operations will increase his popularity hugely, and people will realize that

, the 1996 golden generation also has a small forward who can average 23 10 3 per game in his third grade.

The top vote-getter among Eastern Conference centers is 76ers center Mutombo, who received 130,000 votes.

The weakness of the Eastern Conference's frontcourt is the key to Raheem's ability to directly occupy an All-Star position in the frontcourt with just one move.

In the Western Conference, Kobe Bryant is also far ahead in votes, with 450,000 votes, and Francis ranks second among Western Conference guards with 190,000 votes.

As for center, O'Neal received 410,000 votes and undoubtedly ranked first among centers.

The competition for forwards is fierce. There are too many popular forwards in the Western Conference. Duncan ranked first with 330,000 votes, Garnett ranked second with 320,000 votes, Webb ranked third with 280,000 votes, and Rasheed Wallace ranked third with 230,000 votes.

Four.

Liu Mang envies Rahim very much. The main thing is that he has to be strong! If he had Rahim's personal ability and his sky-breaking style of play, he would not be an All-Star in his rookie year.

Therefore, Liu Mang decided to train harder and perform better in the game. He tried to improve his personal abilities from both personal efforts and system bonuses. He could not think that as a Chinese player, he would be able to do it after entering the domestic market.

Get a lot of All-Star votes and relax!

The Hawks are very happy that Raheem has the possibility of being selected as an All-Star. Liu Mang sees hope and there is a future in small cities. Jason Terry sees the possibility of being selected as an All-Star substitute. Everyone else is innocent.

I'm happy for Raheem. The record has improved so much this year. Most people in the Eagles are very happy. The team atmosphere is very harmonious.

But everyone knows that whether it is Raheem's All-Star or Jason Terry's All-Star substitute, one very important thing is needed - record!

The record is the foundation of everything. The two people's data cannot possibly decline. The main thing is the record.

In this difficult mid-season before the All-Star Weekend, the team's record must be stable!

It's not about the All-Stars, it's about expectations for this season!

People are all ambitious. As they get more, their ambitions will become bigger and bigger. If they are firmly in the top four in the Eastern Conference, they naturally want to be in the top two!

At noon on the 12th, the Eagles came to the city that caused them to slip from first place in the Eastern Conference—Detroit.

The Hawks and Pistons currently have a record of 24 wins and 10 losses. Since the Pistons defeated the Hawks once, the two teams have the same record, but the Pistons are ranked second and the Hawks can only settle for fourth.

This game is very crucial for both teams.

Who doesn’t want to get second place and maintain the chance of impacting first place?

For the top three in the Eastern Conference with similar records, one more loss may affect the final ranking, and this is a battle between direct competitors!

In addition to the record, there is also a very important point, the best coach!

Coach Kruger and Coach Carlisle are the two coaches who have the highest votes for the best coach this season, and they are both rookie coaches. Although they say it is not important, what we value is the team's victory.

This chapter is not over, please click the next page to continue reading! But if anyone believes this, it is Shi Lezhi. A coach may devote his career to only one chance to win the best coach, which is better than Jerry Sloan

, it has been more than ten years, and the record is so good, there is no chance to win the best coach. It is better than the Zen Master, and there is only one best coach.

A coach may have a chance to get the best coach in his first year of coaching just because he led the team to a record that exceeded expectations. However, even if he maintains such a good record every year, he will never get the opportunity again. This is normal, because

It was amazing at first, but then it felt normal. I felt that you already had that ability, and the coaches you were comparing to were already very good coaches, so there was no such feeling of being bright in front of your eyes.

Therefore, both teams attach great importance to this game, whether it is for team ranking or for the best coach.

Originally, the Hawks had two national live broadcasts left, one was to play the Knicks in New York, and the other was to play the Celtics in the final game of the regular season. However, the popularity of the Hawks has soared recently, and T.N.T Sports Channel specially dedicated it to the Hawks on this day.

A US live broadcast has been added!

T.N.T also likes to cause trouble, and specially sent a commentary team of Charles Barkley, who is not very fond of Liu Mang, and Kenny Smith, a sultry man who likes to cause trouble.

After the last time they commented on the game between the Hawks and the Lakers, big-mouthed Klee made a big bet and failed miserably by imitating Liu Mang's pole dance. He has been evading it and said that he would wait until the next time the Hawks broadcast it live in the United States and he would do the dance before the game. He had originally
