At the beginning of the second quarter, the Eagles took the lead.

In the expression of Coach Carlisle's livid face and gritted teeth, the struggling team turned into the Eagles!

The Hawks advanced, Jason Terry ran over and handed the ball to Rahim to support at the free throw line. Rahim took the ball and pressed forward. Ratliff came up to help Rahim block Stackhouse. The Pistons

Defensive attention was drawn to their side.

At the same time, Jason Terry came to a 45-degree angle and screened Liu Mang. Using this screen, Liu Mang cut inside and passed the free throw line when he received a pass from Raheem. Liu Mang rushed into the three-second zone.

If this ball was a physical one, he would have jumped up and dunked it. Liu Mang rushed in, and Rob Laka moved well inside. He immediately returned to defend, and Liu Mang deceived Rob Laka with a squirming layup.

foul.

Liu Mang stood on the free throw line, and it was Raheem and Mohammed who grabbed the rebound. Ratliff went back to half court directly. Amidst the boos of the fans at the scene, Liu Mang came up from the sky with the water of the Yellow River on his back.

They made two free throws steadily, and then the remaining three quickly retreated to prevent the Pistons from counterattacking.

What a great job!

Coach Carlisle is very sad. If he were like Jason Terry, Raheem, or even a player with stable scoring ability like Liu Mang, he would be willing to play defense like this. The key is that there is no such thing!

It just so happens that the Eagles have a sixth man who can attack tough positions!

As for Stackhouse, he was able to score, but this time he pushed forward and singled out Rahim. Since the coach arranged for him to play faster, he suddenly shot to meet Rahim's block, and forced a shot.

, the rebound was collected by Ratliff.

I really want to say that Stackhouse also has a strong scoring ability, but he has to take a lot of shots. Iverson, the scoring leader last season, took enough shots, averaging 25.5 times per game, and Stackhouse is

27 times! He is the kind of prolific scorer who takes a lot of shots, but his efficiency is extremely low. If he wants to display his ability, he may have to use the 76ers system, otherwise he is more suitable to be a sixth man.

Wave.

After all, Carlisle at this time was not the future championship coach, otherwise he would not have taken the Pistons to a complete team, and was fired after the second season after winning the best coach.

After being beaten by the Hawks for several positions in a row, and then looking back and failing to score because of the opponent's defense, Carlisle began to panic, substituted Ben Wallace and Clifford Robinson, and began to follow the Hawks.

Walk to the rhythm.

Although the Pistons have set a very slow pace after Ben Wallace came up, it is difficult for the Hawks to counterattack, but they have a leading advantage and are willing to follow the Pistons to grind out positions. If they have a chance to counterattack, they will counterattack. If not, they will take their time.

Fighting, there is no speeding up the tempo just for the sake of speeding up the tempo.

Raheem became the pressure player today. When the Pistons used a defensive lineup, he compressed the opponent's defense, forcing the Pistons' two big insiders to be unable to help defend. Liu Mang switched between Jason Terry and Jason Terry on the outside.

Occasionally, he would strike back suddenly and catch the Pistons off guard.

When the Pistons play fast, the Eagles play every ball steadily. At this time, it's time for Raheem to get into position and attack alone, one by one!

Although the Pistons have been very strong since the beginning of this year, after all, they are still not the top five Pistons in their heyday. Even four of the five tigers are still unknown, so the Hawks found their weaknesses and beat them.

Now, Coach Carlisle is starting to panic!

Not only this game, this game is broadcast live across the United States, which means that the coaching staff of many teams may watch this game and discover the weakness that he has been avoiding, which is that he does not have a stable scorer!

Even the Pistons' top five, who later struggled to the extreme, still had four other players besides Ben Wallace who averaged almost 60 points per game.

Starting from the second quarter, the Hawks unexpectedly discovered the Pistons' weakness with a strategy that was originally intended to be tried, and they stuck to it.

In the previous games of the Pistons, their opponents were all focused on speeding up to break the slow-paced atmosphere created by Ben Wallace. They themselves were disrupted. There were almost no teams like the Hawks that deliberately pressed the pace. No one noticed.

The Pistons' current roster is lacking.

Now that it has been discovered, how could the Eagles let go of this opportunity!

At halftime, the score was 44 to 35, and after three quarters, it was 67 to 56. The point difference basically did not change, but with this ten-point difference, the Pistons' own offensive problems meant that they could not catch up!

In the end, the Eagles maintained their lead that had been hovering around ten points and had the last laugh with a score of 88 to 80, which seemed like a very anxious score but was actually a steady one from the beginning of the second quarter!

The player statistics of the two teams, except for rebounds, were really bleak. Raheem had 17 points and 15 rebounds, Mohammed had 5 points and 11 rebounds, Liu Mang had 13 points and 3 assists, and Jason Terry had 21 points.

Except for Stackhouse, who scored 18 points, no one else on the Pistons scored in double figures.

A game that more than 10 million people bought to watch live ended with the Eagles pulling away from home.

Although the Pistons led the Hawks 2-1 in the regular season games, the Hawks overtook the Pistons in the overall record, with 25 wins and 10 losses, beating the 24 wins and 11 losses of the Pistons to climb to second place in the Eastern Conference!

…

…

After three consecutive away games, the Hawks rushed back to Atlanta as soon as possible. This month's schedule was very difficult. They played 6 games in the first 13 days, which was great, but the remaining 18 days were miserable, mainly because of the remaining 18 days.

In the previous sixteen days, from the 15th to the 30th, there were a total of nine games. The most important thing is that there were only six opponents in these nine games. Two games against the Hornets, two games against the Celtics, two games against the Magic, and two games against the Hornets.

There are a total of three games this month, in addition to the Timberwolves, 76ers and Bulls.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! When flying back to Atlanta to watch the next schedule, Liu Mang couldn't help but keep complaining. Can this schedule be more careful? At least it's a season

The prediction is that they will be fourth in the Eastern Conference. They are considered such a strong team. They really have no human rights!

Liu Mang's complaints continued all the way to the Atlanta airport, and his teammates couldn't help but put on their headphones.

"Okay, okay, stop complaining. We have to play anyway. I've finished all the games with them this month, so I don't have to study their videos anymore." Emmanuel thought openly, "Okay, get off the plane now.

, I have to go home early and go to bed."

Liu Mang angrily put on his system's special anti-theft backpack and followed Emmanuel towards the passage of the cabin entrance.

When he arrived at the airport exit, Liu Mang was about to call and ask where the team bus driver was, as he always did. Others were about to go to the parking lot to find their own cars, when suddenly there was a commotion at the airport exit.

"Sharif Sharif..."

"Jason, Jason..."

"Ace...Ace..."

"Sharif..."

"..."

"..."

Eagles players were shocked!

It took me a while to realize that the crowd at the exit that was desperately blocked by the airport police was actually fans coming to pick up the plane!

This is the first time in a long, long, long time!

In the past, it was not that there were no fans to pick up the airport, but at most there were only three to five people, and at most there were about ten people in the group, but now the airport exits are all blocked... It is simply hindering other people's travel!

But the Eagles players are excited!

It has been many years since Dominique Wilkins left the Eagles, and the Eagles have not seen such a pick-up scene! In recent years, Atlanta's football market has been almost completely occupied by the NFL Falcons!

Liu Mang, a slut, Raheem, a slut who is starting to learn how to be a slut, Jason Terry, who is already a slut, and Emmanuel, a slut who can't live without a slut, are about to go up and enjoy the fivesome.

As soon as the fans cheered, they were invited to the VIP channel by the airport security. NBA players should use this channel. Iverson, Jordan, and Carter all use the VIP channel when they come to Atlanta. However, the Hawks usually also use this channel.
