The Hawks defeated the Raptors 109-93 to win the first three consecutive games, but it did not cause much repercussions.

The Hawks' starting schedule was already easy, but the Magic and Raptors, two potential playoff teams, suddenly collapsed. The three teams they faced at the start were each weaker than the last, and the Hawks lost.

There is still a little possibility of making headlines, but even if you win, not a single one will appear.

Of course, this is mainly talking about the American basketball world. The domestic court is now very friendly to its own players who go to play overseas. They will praise them when they win and encourage them when they lose. For example, no matter how bad they play in the future, they will even play.

Zhou Qi, who couldn't even get into the imperial examination, did not receive any negative news on behalf of the country, but mostly encouraged him.

Of course, it’s hard to say about forums and portals. No matter how good they are, there will always be a bunch of hackers.

The main thing is the United States. The Eagles have been good enough in the past two years. Unless they go further, their now reinforced lineup will not be able to beat such a weak opponent. Apart from mentioning that the Eagles have won three consecutive games, there is no more comment than that.

It’s hard to give.

But if they lose, they will probably be criticized for making wrong signings and so on.

But because of this, the Eagles got time to quietly develop.

The morning after the game against the Raptors, Liu Mang took a shower after training, had breakfast, and prepared to leave for the airport. Next, the Eagles have a fifth consecutive guest, which will be welcomed tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

The first away game of the season was back-to-back games against the Hornets and SuperSonics, two teams that were considered to have playoff potential. Especially the Hornets started the year so well, so the Hawks departed on a 9 a.m. flight.

Arrive at the away game early so you can have a good rest and prepare for the game.

Just when Liu Mang returned to the room to pack his luggage, he saw that his backpack had been packed, and Alexia also took a big box and packed it with coats, jackets, sneakers and more.

"Aida, there's no need to bring so many things, I'm wearing the ones I'm wearing." Liu Mang said speechlessly when he saw Alexia seemed to be stuffing all her coats into the box.

"You have to go out for more than ten days, how can you only wear that coat? You are a big star now." Although Alexia thought it was a bit exaggerated, she had packed seven or eight coats, but she couldn't help complaining.

Liu Mang said and picked out five sets so that Liu Mang could wear different coats when going to each away game. However, after emptying the coat, he stuffed a few warm clothes into it, "It's cold in the north.

You should wear more clothes when you go out."

"Aida, why are you so worried like my mother?" Liu Mang felt something was wrong. He had seen his mother's character when he went back in the summer.

Liu Mang's complaint was beyond his expectation. Alexia was very happy when she heard this complaint: "Really? Is it similar?"

"..."

"..."

…

Liu Mang carried a backpack and dragged a big box and drove to the airport first. The villa where Liu Mang lives now, Dinah's school, and Phillips Arena are basically like triangles with about the same distance from each other, so except for

After picking them up to watch the game, Alexia drove Dinah to school in the morning.

After Liu Mang left, Dinah walked over to Alexia after finishing breakfast.

"Teacher, you have been very nice to uncle recently!" Dinah said sourly.

"Really? Haven't I always been very nice to your uncle?" Alexia smiled, "Have you finished your breakfast? Go change clothes quickly, we are going to school."

"No, no, no, teacher, you have been very nice to uncle recently..."

…

New Orleans, very close to Atlanta, is the easternmost team in the Southwest Division. It is still playing the Eastern Conference schedule for the time being, because the teams to be added in the Eastern Conference are already on the agenda. Mr. Joe, who was kicked out by the Wizards, is unwilling to accept it.

, is preparing to build a team by himself to dominate the NBA again, but he doesn’t have that much money. The Charlotte government and the league have already started construction of the arena with Time Warner Cable, but to find one, they have to pay tens of millions of dollars in guaranteed money every year.

The tycoon's salary and the "entry fee" that is now as high as 150 million US dollars.

The establishment of another NBA team in Charlotte was promised by the league when the Hornets moved away from Charlotte. The Hornets are still playing the schedule of the Southeast Division team. It is also for this reason that they have to wait for another team.

team to make up for the impact of their move.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, the Hawks arrived at the Royal Sonesta Beach Hotel in New Orleans. The coaching staff asked the players to rest by themselves. Liu Mang happily brought Boozer, Kwame Brown, and Jason Terry with him.

People go to have lunch.

As for other teammates, they all have restaurants they want to go to, or people who are close to the Hornets have made an appointment to get together before the game.

Liu Mang asked the lady at the front desk to send a chartered car from a car rental company that the hotel cooperates with.

After getting in the car, the driver asked Liu Mang and others where they were going. Jason Terry was also curious. Liu Mang was so excited today and wanted to take them where to eat and what delicious food he wanted to take. He asked, "Ace, what are you doing?"

Where do you want to treat us to dinner today?"

"OH, Jason, when you come to New Orleans, of course you have to eat the famous New Orleans grilled wings! I wanted to eat them last time we came here, but it rained the first two times we came here. It's rare that the weather is good today, so let's go

Try the local delicacies here!" Liu Mang wanted to try the fast food that the Zen Master Grandpa was the image spokesperson that he only had the opportunity to eat when he was luxurious in his previous life. What would it taste like in the "birthplace" of the United States.

The main reason is that now he is endorsing McDonald's, and he has no chance to eat KFC again.

"New Orleans grilled wings?" Not only Jason Terry, but also the driver, Kwame Brown, and Boozer all asked in confusion.

New Orleans is a famous tourist city in the United States, a very famous one. Before the hurricane, the tourism industry here was no worse than Miami. It is the most economically developed city in Louisiana, and its per capita income ranks among the highest among all cities in the United States.

New Orleans is also famous throughout the United States for its various seafood dishes, but none of them have heard of New Orleans grilled wings.

"Yes, brother, take us to your most famous grilled wings restaurant!" Liu Mang said to the driver.

"...Sir, I have lived here for more than 30 years, and I have never heard of a famous chicken wing restaurant anywhere..." the driver said weakly. Looking at Liu Mang's excitement, he really couldn't bear to be discouraged.

"..." Liu Mang's head was powered off for a few seconds, "How is that possible! Your chicken wings are so famous...are they really not?"

Seeing several people shaking their heads decisively, Liu Mang seemed to have been hit hard.

"Then what are you most famous for?" Liu Mang asked reluctantly, what if China and the United States have different names for that thing!

"The most famous thing here is crayfish!" The driver finally was able to correct him.

"So you call chicken wings and crayfish here! Come on, take us there." Liu Mang waved his hand and asked the driver to drive.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

The other four people in the car were speechless...

…

…

On November 7th, the Eagles played their first back-to-back game against the Hornets away from home.

Liu Mang came to the New Orleans Arena with anger today. He didn't expect that New Orleans really didn't have grilled wings. Although eating crayfish was very enjoyable and the taste was more in line with Chinese tastes, Liu Mang still

I’m very angry that in a city as big as New Orleans, there isn’t even a shop selling New Orleans grilled wings!

It's all the Hornets' fault! So Liu Mang is ready to vent his anger on the Hornets.

This is Liu Mang's excuse to tell his teammates that he has a lot of fighting spirit. Liu Mang's fighting spirit is so high entirely because of the Hornets' best player right now - Baron Davis.

Ability value 87, offense 91, defense 85, three-pointer 70, mid-range shot 75, layup 89, passing 90...

Liu Mang is always so excited when facing strong men in the same position!

After the players from both sides entered the court, the Hornets players felt the strong fighting spirit of the Eagles! Liu Mang, in particular, kept staring at Baron Davis.

Baron Davis was very confused, when did he mess with that guy?

But doubts were doubts. Baron Davis glared back at Liu Mang without hesitation. While retaining the core lineup this year, the Hornets introduced many high-quality substitutes, such as Darrell Armstrong, Shi

Steve Smith and others, the Hornets are going to do big things this year!

Jamal Marsh had the best performance of his career last season and had a full attendance season. He only turned 31 at the end of this month and was at his peak. In the first few games, he still averaged 22 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists per game.

Performance.

Jamal Magloire, a big center in the class of 2000, has grown up in the past two years. After averaging 10.8 points per game last season, he averaged 14.11 points per game in the first few games of this year.

Excellent performance of the board.

In addition, Baron Davis, a 24-year-old representative of the Mesozoic point guard who averaged 23 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists per game, and PJ Brown, a not-so-top but very active inside man, and David Way.

With Slee, a short, fast and explosive scorer, the Hornets have a strong lineup.

Coupled with the fact that they spent so much money to poach Steve Smith from the Spurs and Darrell Armstrong from the Magic in the summer, there is no reason why the Hornets don't want to do big things.

This year, the Hornets started with four consecutive wins, tied for first place in the Eastern Conference with the Pacers, and defeated the Hawks, who had won three consecutive games.

Therefore, this year's Hornets players have gained confidence, relying on their own strength to gain confidence, and are not afraid of the Eagles at all.

The Hawks attach great importance to this game. The Hornets may be their key opponent to compete with them for the top spot in the Southeast Division. Last year, they bucked the trend and got fourth place in the Eastern Conference despite so many injuries. This year, they started in such good shape.

Well, the Eagles have to pay attention to this.
Chapter completed!
