Inside Phillips Arena, fans were everywhere holding "Fifty-seven" signs.

When the players from both teams came on the field, the cheers continued to rise.

Eagles fans are very proud now. They are the defending champion and first in the Eastern Conference with a record of 16 wins and 3 losses. They are hot on the heels of the 17 wins and 3 losses of the Suns, who have played one more game. Eagles fans cannot help but not support their home team.

feel proud.

Now Liu Mang is challenging all scorers, fans naturally hope that Liu Mang can make a strong response!

As for the Bulls, although people think the Bulls are a strong contender to snipe the Hawks, Hawks fans don't worry about this. In their view, the Bulls are just a "fifth-ranked team in the Eastern Conference."

That confidence, this strong confidence, has also infected the Eagles players and put pressure on the Bulls players.

"Eagles fans are just annoying. Do you really think that guy is No. 1 in the league? Score as many points as you want?" Tyson Chandler couldn't help complaining when he saw two players of the same class opposite him.

.

"That kind of useless center who can only defend, I can beat him casually." Eddie Curry was very disdainful of Kwame Brown.

A useless center who only knows how to defend? Tyson Chandler glanced at Eddy Curry and returned to the bench to sit.

Hinrich looked at the proud posture of the away fans and saw the two talented high school students Tyson Chandler and Eddy Curry couldn't help but couldn't bear the cheers of the fans holding signs with 57.

Just to complain, Hinrich didn't say anything, he was just so calm.

Being calm doesn't mean that he doesn't want to win. Hinrich really wants to beat the Eagles.

But the Hawks are indeed too strong. Although the Bulls have defeated strong teams this season, Hinrich was still not very confident that he could defeat the Hawks.

However, when he knew from the news before the game that the Eagles did not take them seriously and the whole team wanted to help Liu Mang score points, Hinrich felt that the opportunity had come!

Seeing the arrogant look on the Eagles' side, Hinrich felt happy.

It's time to make a name for yourself!

…

The game was about to start, and McGrady felt so ashamed! It was just a regular season game, and he was still playing dirty! But this sense of shame made McGrady a little excited.

"Being teammates with Ace is really annoying and exciting at the same time." McGrady couldn't help but sigh when he saw Liu Mang still practicing three-pointers, and then prepared to play the game with a feeling of shame and excitement.

Liu Mang was observing the Bulls players.

It’s really awesome!

An almost perfect nine-man rotation!

Hinrich, ability evaluation 85 (peak), 84 offense, 86 defense, 87 three-pointers, 79 mid-range shots, 85 layups... averaged 15 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists per game.

Eddie Curry, ability evaluation 88 (contract year), offense 95, defense 73... averaged 17 points, 6 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game.

These two are the only two first-class stars Liu Mang has seen on the Bulls. Hinrich has reached his peak in the second grade. It is not a big surprise. This is a standard traditional point guard, and he has even been very traditional in his career.

He entered the NBA after four years of college, and his skills were already mature. After taking a year to adapt, Hinrich quickly reached his peak.

On the other hand, Eddie Curry was identified by the system as a player in a contract year...

Not to mention, the players in the contract year are awesome. They are already very powerful among the first-class players, with an offensive ability of 95...

Although there are no top stars and only two first-class stars, the others...

Luol Deng, ability evaluation 78; Ben Gordon, ability evaluation 79; Tyson Chandler, ability evaluation 81; Antonio Davis, ability evaluation 80; Chris Duhon, ability evaluation 72; Osei

La-Harrington, ability evaluation 76...

The Bulls have nine rotations, and except for Duhon, no one has an ability rating lower than 75!

If Eddie Curry, who just celebrated his 22nd birthday yesterday, can continue to improve at the current rate of improvement, the Bulls will be awesome!

Especially those two rookies, Luol Deng and Ben Gordon, the rookie's ability evaluation is better than Howard... I think that Okafor's rookie year was better than James' rookie year, and even Duhon, a second-round pick, had

With an ability evaluation of 72, Liu Mang couldn't help complaining: 2004 was really a strange draft year...

Moreover, because Al Jefferson was snatched away by the Celtics, the Hawks had to choose Varejao, which resulted in not choosing Duhong, which has always been a pain in Liu Mang's heart.

But Liu Mang knows that Eddie Curry is just a player in a contract year... and he will never think about playing hard until he is about to lose his salary.

But this year happens to be the contract year of the No. 4 pick, and in the competition with the same insiders, Eddie Curry has always performed well. Whether he is playing Gasol or Kwame Brown, he has always had the upper hand.

, played against the Hawks last season and scored 37 points and 14 rebounds in one game.

Seeing Eddie Curry's body and weight of over 130 kilograms, Liu Mang went up and patted Kwame Brown, who was practicing rebounding when he was shooting, and observed a few seconds of silence for him.

Kwame Brown knew what Liu Mang meant, but he was not afraid now, just Gang!

…

"Ding... the Eagles Devils are triggering at home, from Rasheed Wallace and Phillips Arena fans."

As Rasheed Wallace roared, Liu Mang threw magnesium powder into the air.

Kwame Brown came to the center circle and jumped the ball with Eddie Curry.

The lineup sent by the Eagles is still the same, with Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady, Prince, Rasheed Wallace, and Kwame Brown.

For the Bulls, Hinrich, Duhon, Luol Deng, Antonio Davis, and Eddie Curry play.

Liu Mang saw that both Kwame Brown and Eddie Curry were full of fighting spirit! The ferocious look on their faces was very strong.

Both of them were high school draft picks in the 2001 class, and they were the two most talented rookies that year. Liu Mang found it very interesting to see the two of them fighting each other to death as soon as they met.

Liu Mang consulted with Kwame Brown before the game. He knew that Kwame Brown had been bullied by two high school rookies in the same class two years before he came to the Eagles. Liu Mang laughed hard and praised him.

May Brown is very resentful and wants to find someone to comfort herself.

The feud between Kwame Brown and Eddie Curry and Tyson Chandler can be traced back to 1997, when they were both 15-year-old high school students. Kwame Brown first met Tyson Chandler.

They fought and almost got into a fight.

It's because of his style of play. Kwame Brown has always had good physical fitness. In high school, he was the kind of player who would fly around and dunk. Tyson Chandler was the kind of player who focused on defense in high school.

, although his physical fitness is good, his size does not support his violent style of play. The two met for the first time in the National High School Basketball Championship today, and Kwame Brown dunked Tyson Chandler.

, almost started a fight.

Later, in his senior year of high school, Tyson Chandler actually played better. He thought he could become the No. 1 pick. Who knew?

As for Eddie Curry, he is very talented and is looked down upon by no one. He has a bad relationship with his teammate Tyson Chandler. He is envious of Kwame Brown who has a salary that is nearly twice as much as him. He is envious and jealous.

Every time I meet Kwame Brown, I beat him to death.

Chandler is defensive, while Eddy Curry is offensive, but both of them can only play center. I tried letting Chandler play power forward, but that guy was outshot by those shooting power forwards.

He was in a state of ecstasy, so Chandler could only play as a substitute because Eddie Curry wanted to renew his contract in advance since last season, and he was so strong.

The same team, the same position, and the same age entering the team at the same time, the competition is naturally fierce.

After the referee selects the ball, he comes to the center circle.

It’s time to jump the ball!

Liu Mang saw Kwame Brown leaping high and knocking the ball back from Eddie Curry's head. This was what Liu Mang expected.

Liu Mang jumped up to catch the ball and immediately started a fast break!

After Liu Mang received the ball, he rushed forward. To his surprise, Eddie Curry came up and blocked him!

With his huge body and flexible hands, Liu Mang could only avoid it with one step. At this time, the other four members of the Bulls team had already settled into defensive positions.

Watching Eddie Curry quickly run back to the basket, with a speed of 80 and a weight of 130 kilograms, Liu Mang thought of O'Neal.

This guy's talent is really great. His jumping ability is a little worse than Kwame Brown's, but his speed is only a little bit worse!

Liu Mang continued to advance and came outside the three-point line, and saw Hinrich defending.

Hinrich's close defense is very good. He is a defensive master who can defend from the 1st to the 3rd position. His close defense is very good, similar to Stockton's defense.

Can keep up with the pace and prevent shots.

Liu Mang leaned sideways against Hinrich to avoid being intercepted by the future All-Defensive Team player. He observed the Bulls' defense and found that both Duhong and Luol Deng were positioned close to the center, ready to attack at any time.

Preparing for a flanking attack, Liu Mang chose to break through and attack!

Liu Mang used the high post technique in the top arc. He first turned to the right and deceived Hinrich's center of gravity. The moment he saw Hinrich's foot moving, Liu Mang moved the ball to the left with his left hand.

After grabbing the ball from behind, the left foot was used as the axis, and the right foot was thrown to the left and rear, turning left to break through!

Xinrich was pushed aside by Liu Mang!

Liu Mang rushed towards the middle. Xinrich could only run close to Liu Mang, but he was out of position and could not interfere with Liu Mang's breakthrough route.

However, this was within Hinrich's expectation. Luol Deng had already defended him and reached the free throw line. Liu Mang suddenly stopped and took off one step outside the free throw line!

Hinrich, who was going to switch to guard Tracy McGrady, immediately rushed towards Liu Mang from behind, and Luol Deng also jumped up to interfere.

At this time, Liu Mang pulled the ball back and threw it towards McGrady!

McGrady had already cut inside. After receiving the ball, he rushed inside in two steps and easily scored two points with a dunk.

Eddie Curry got out of the way... The defense may be blocked, and it may not be able to interfere. Eddie Curry chose to protect himself...

Passed the ball?

This surprised the two outside defenders of the Bulls. Didn't Liu Mang just throw the ball when he got it?
