698. Season record 15 consecutive wins(1/2)
"Ace, why don't you go out and eat the New Orleans grilled wings you want? Captain Jack, the driver from last time, opened a grilled wings restaurant just for you!"
The Eagles, who continue to be in hot form, with high morale, came to the last stop of three consecutive away games, New Orleans to play the Hornets.
New Orleans is very close to Atlanta, so it's basically like returning to the warm south coast feeling. The humidity and cold gradually pass, and it's only March, and there is already a very comfortable sea breeze.
The Eagles are staying at the Four Seasons Hotel New Orleans at Bayfront, which may disappear in a few years. From last night, when Liu Mang missed a triple-double by two points until now, he has always looked aggrieved.
The helpless teammates could only coax the little boss like a child.
Sometimes a celebrity's words may change a person's life. Last time when Liu Mang and others came to New Orleans to play ball, he mentioned the phrase "New Orleans grilled wings" and the driver took it to heart. As a result, he went there
I registered the trademark of New Orleans Grilled Wings, but found that no one registered it! Even the fast food seller didn't register it, and then the uncle driver registered it and opened a New Orleans Grilled Wings shop, which specializes in grilled wings and other miscellaneous things.
Sell.
Several teammates made a fistfight and decided that Boozer would take Liu Mang out for a walk to relax.
"No, you can go, I want to be quiet!" Liu Mang said melancholy.
"..." Boozer saw that Liu Mang seemed to be in no mood, so he had no choice but to give up: "Okay, Ace, take a good rest."
Just as Boozer was about to leave, he heard a voice: "Wait!"
"What's wrong? Ace?" Boozer asked curiously.
"Carlos, why don't you ask me who Jingjing is?" Liu Mang asked resentfully.
"Quiet? It's a woman??" Boozer looked confused.
"..." Liu Mang then remembered how these ignorant Americans knew these things. He could only shake his head and said, "It's okay."
Inexplicably, Boozer asked again: "Ace, are you going to eat grilled wings?"
Liu Mang's sad heart recovered a little. Suddenly he thought of something, his old face turned red and he asked: "Who's treating me?"
"..." Boozer replied speechlessly: "I please!"
"Let's go!" Liu Mang's body trembled, as if nothing had happened: "I just said, how come there are no barbecue wings in New Orleans? It's just that you didn't find them. No, you found them this time."
"..."
…
A 70-point difference!
The Hawks broke the 68-point difference between the Cavaliers and the Heat, setting a record for the largest point difference in NBA history!
Whether it's the crazy 12-game winning streak or the crazy 70-point difference, the Eagles are in the spotlight for a while!
Fans and media have a question: How much hatred does Liu Mang have against the Knicks? How much does the Hawks hate the Knicks? Every time they come to Madison Square Garden, they do something big.
The playoff hope that Knicks fans were looking forward to, although it is still not difficult to reach the playoffs, that hope is gone!
As a result, Liu Mang once again gained huge attention, and his rogue value skyrocketed.
However, regarding the news about Liu Mang, he felt it was better to have none at all!
After leading his teammates to play terrifying defense and offense, and creating a 70-point difference, Liu Mang liked to nickname him "One Middle Man"...
Liu Mang's heart bleeds when he sees himself being nicknamed a middle-aged man on the internet!
20 assists!
Why can't your eyes look at other statistics! This is Madison Square Garden's new assist record!
20 assists in a single game can be ranked among the top 100 in the NBA... Well, Liu Mang also knows that 20 assists in a single game is not as bright as 1-for-17 looks like. After all, 20 assists in a single game
Although rare, 1 out of 17 is even rarer.
But! Liu Mang has no choice! The Knicks can't bite the rest of the Hawks, so they can only catch Liu Mang and defend. The bigger the point difference, the more desperate. Marbury, a guy who can defend seriously and is pretty good, plus pure
The guy who relied on his physical fitness to become the No. 6 pick had to guard him so hard that if he hadn't gotten 20 assists and set a new personal assist record, he would have cried.
and!
Why is the attention of these guys different from that of New Yorkers?
People in New York have already switched sides. From the past, they refused to let him go to the Knicks to play in the future. Now, the fan forums in New York are full of messages asking the Knicks boss to compete with the Hawks for people in the summer. They don't care about anything at all.
Salary space, in short, they just want to steal people.
Fans in the entire NBA except New York fans, especially fans in Atlanta, are talking about 1-for-17. What's even more outrageous is that I don't know when Liu Mang's "gangster" started.
The official forum of the "League" fan group has also become a gathering place for "anti-fans", who are so hateful that it's hard to believe.
Still not a fan anymore!
Is this too much?
Liu Mang felt so hurt.
But what can be done?
The game must go on.
However, the New York media is really interesting. They really didn't show any respect to the Knicks and gave Liu Mang the nickname "The King of Madison."
The scoring record, the assist record and even the most interesting record, the lowest shooting percentage record except for the role players who may shoot 0-for-1, were also refreshed by Liu Mang, officially "crowned" the King of Madison.
But this made Liu Mang feel even more miserable!
Seeing that the team had a total of 11 players on the field, and the other ten players all scored in double figures, and he was the only one with 8 points, Liu Mang felt unreasonable!
Therefore, to turn grief and anger into appetite, grilled wings are not expensive. A large grilled wing costs two dollars. A group of people were full and drank freshly squeezed juice, which cost more than a hundred dollars.
Since there are consecutive away games, there are no night activities, especially since it is only 40 days until the playoffs are completed, the coaching staff's curfew rules have become increasingly strict.
…
…
After a night's rest, the next morning, Liu Mang, still filled with grief and anger, came to the New Orleans Arena with an evil look on his face and led the team to challenge the Hornets away from home.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Originally, in the dozen or so games that Mashburn was there, the Hornets were in the same state as the Pistons, ranking among the top three in the Eastern Conference, but Mashburn
This All-Star level player's career ended, and the Hornets fell directly into the ordinary playoff ranks.
There wasn't much resistance, because Liu Mang was going crazy again today. At the same time two days ago, as the opponent of the next game, the Hornets didn't have a game that day. He watched the Knicks' live broadcast of the entire season on American cable TV.
The Knicks have their own TV station for games. The most fantastic thing about playing in the Knicks is that almost all home games are broadcast live.
The Hornets players saw that Liu Mang was unable to score points because he was guarded by the Knicks. They led the team to a crazy defensive counterattack and achieved the largest point difference in history. Seeing that Liu Mang was so active and crazy, they decisively avoided his edge.
Playing 33 minutes, he scored 30 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists on 10 of 21 shots. Liu Mang was able to express his bad temper as a "man in a middle class".
The Hawks' game was not that unkind. The Hornets officially became a Western Conference team after this season. They changed from the Southeast Division to a team in the Southwest Division next door, saving some face.
98 to 90, the Hawks were eventually chased within 10 points by the Hornets. The Hornets' role player substitute power forward David West hit a mid-range shot with two seconds left to close the gap.
Chase within ten points.
Judging from the result of this game, the Hornets did not lose so badly. It seemed to be a fierce and anxious game.
This is not a bad thing for the Hawks. The opponent did not resist too fiercely and stopped struggling when they saw the loss, so as to avoid being turned into another Knicks by the Hawks who were in the limelight.
…
With their 13th consecutive victory in hand, the Eagles' last consecutive away game in March ended.
The Eagles' record has become 54 wins and 8 losses. There are still 12 games this month, 11 home games and one away game. The schedule is quite easy.
After beating the Hornets, the Hawks returned to Atlanta and started a mighty seven-game winning streak.
The relaxing and enjoyable race begins.
After returning to Atlanta to rest for a night, the second and final back-to-back of the month came.
The home court welcomes back-to-back games between the Pistons and Jazz.
The first thing to come is the game against the Pistons.
Not long ago, after the Hawks defeated the Pistons on the road, the Pistons' morale had collapsed. When they came to Atlanta, the Hawks were in full swing and in good shape, and the Pistons were unable to stop the Hawks.
The two teams fought a defensive battle in this game. The Eagles played with all their main players. In the end, they defeated the Pistons 92-83 without any blood and swept the Pistons in the regular season this season.
Liu Mang scored 22 points, 4 rebounds and 10 assists. Against the Pistons, Liu Mang was severely targeted. The number of assists came up again. In fact, he also had a lot of assists. He made 23 shots for 22 points...
After defeating the Pistons and winning 14 consecutive games, the Hawks faced off against the Jazz the next day.
The Jazz came to Atlanta as a tourist. The Jazz didn't want to win and the Hawks didn't want to lose. It was a perfect situation for the two teams.
103 to 79. It’s not that the Hawks don’t give face, but that the Jazz just want to lose. They want better draft picks and more bargaining chips when negotiating with the Hawks. Ostertag gave them to the Hawks.
, and even posted a second-round pick from 2005. From a human perspective, they now have the initiative.
Liu Mang finally scored more than 40 points again, the 17th time in his career. He made 17 of 27 shots and scored 44 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists. The Jazz used Arroyo to defend Liu Mang, but Liu Mang was completely beaten.
…
After defeating the Jazz, the easy schedule is over. In the remaining 10 games, there are six top eight teams in the league.
Unlike the Pistons, a team that was swept in the playoffs for two consecutive years, but this year has a stronger lineup and a more suitable head coach, but is still beaten and loses its fighting spirit, the remaining six teams
, will not be so easy to deal with.
To be continued...
