Chapter 511: Texas Hell
"Is the league targeting us? The schedule was so loose that it suddenly made us play two back-to-back games in a row?" Lunar Eclipse complained on the plane. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Lunar Eclipse was not wrong at all, the Hawks who had just finished playing the Knicks flew to Dallas overnight, beat the Mavericks back-to-back, and then had to rest in Texas for three days, followed by another back-to-back, back-to-back Rockets and Spurs.
Such a schedule is quite unfavorable to the Hawks, and if they are not careful, they may be blacked out by the three Texas triumphants.
On December 6, 2008, the Hawks played the Dallas Mavericks away at the U.S. Route Center Arena.
Mark Cuban, the big mouth, was a rare pre-game man who didn't make a big splash, but as soon as the game started, the Mavericks gave the Hawks a dismount.
Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle figured out a strategy before the game began, and he put on a magical starting lineup, with veterans Kidd and JJ Barria forming a double point guard, while Mike Bibby and Misery were caught off guard.
Bibby couldn't stop Kidd's power, and Embarrassed Sen couldn't keep up with Barria's speed, and the Hawks' backcourt duo was blown up in an instant.
The outside line was popped into a plug, and the inside line was not much better.
Ruan Erniu was made unable to advance or retreat by Dampier, the second center in the west, and Nowitzki took the opportunity to open up space, faced the defense of the lunar eclipse, played the golden rooster independence, and gave the Eagles strategic blows with stable and desperate long-range shots again and again.
The German driver scored 8 points, 4 rebounds, and 1 assist on 4-of-5 shooting in the first quarter, dominating the first quarter.
If it was just that it couldn't be played on the offensive end, the Hawks wouldn't be so passive, maybe it was really affected by back-to-backs, or because they had just beaten the Knicks at home, and adjusted their state, anyway, the Atlantans, who had been on the plane all night, were stunned in the first quarter of the game.
In the second quarter of the game, the Hawks and the Mavericks played a defensive battle, and the shooting rate of the two teams plummeted, and Ruan Erniu also fell into the foul trap early tonight, and before the end of the first half, he had already committed 3 fouls and was replaced by Woodson early.
At halftime, the Eagles trailed the home team by 10 points, 35:45.
At the beginning of the third quarter, when Ruan Erniu was fouled for the fourth time by JJ Baria and had to go off the court again, the situation changed abruptly, and the whole situation was completely turned upside down.
This quarter of the game belonged to Jose Juan Barria (i.e. JJ Barria), who shot 7 of 9 in a single quarter, 2 of 3 free throws, scored 16 points, 1 rebound, and completely blew up the Hawks.
THIS SHORT POINT GUARD, 6 FEET (183CM) TALL, WHO MUST HAVE BEEN INJECTED WITH WATER, BECAME A CALF SHARP KNIFE AND STABBED THE EAGLES IN THE SOFT UNDERBELLY.
In the traditional advantage link - rebounding, the Hawks did not take advantage either. Eric Dampier seems to be able to play good statistics when facing Ruan Erniu, and after Erniu went down, he even cashed in on the talent of the second center in the West, with 4 points and 8 rebounds in a single quarter, which makes people feel that his 10 million contract does not seem to be too rubbish.
The Hawks, who were knocked to the ground by a stick in the third quarter, launched a final frantic comeback in the final quarter of the game.
Ruan Erniu, Embarrassing Sen and Bibi scored double-doubles in a single quarter at the same time, and the Hawks only trailed by 2 points in the final attack.
Embarrassment Sen hit a three-point shot at the last moment!
However, the referee on duty made the first decision, the red light came first, and the winner was the Mavericks.
The Hawks immediately appealed, and the referee looked back at the shot, and the slow motion showed that the red indicator light did light up the moment before the Eagles made the shot.
At 108:100, the Eagles ended up losing the game by 2 points.
From trailing by as many as 22 points to chasing only 2 points remaining, the Hawks are not without their best.
But looking at the Mavericks, not to mention Nowitzki's 32 points, 11 rebounds and Barria's 22 points and 4 assists, even Dampier can contribute 13 rebounds in a single game, which shows that the Hawks lost unjustly tonight.
In the post-game press conference, Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle was the protagonist, and his miraculous change of formation finally allowed the defending champions to taste their second defeat of the season.
The long-haired head coach who looks like Jim Carrey gives all the credit to the players, but his tactical command ability is also quite outstanding in this game.
The Eagles, who lost the game, didn't have the heart to stay in Dallas longer, and the group got on a bus, and finally arrived at Space City four hours later.
Da Yao feasted Erniu on the second day, but Ruan Erniu, who had just lost the game, was not in a good mood, he said bluntly: "Da Yao, don't expect the day after tomorrow, I will keep my hand!"
IN ADDITION TO THE COMPETITION, ERNIU ALSO TOOK TIME TO MEET WITH BRYAN ACTON, THE CEO OF WHATSAPP, WHO HAD COME FROM AFAR.
THE TWO TALKED ABOUT THE FUTURE OF WHATSAPP, AND ERNIU PUT FORWARD A NEW IDEA: "CAN WE MAKE OUR PRODUCT A MOBILE FACEBOOK OR A TWITTER BETWEEN FRIENDS?"
"WITH THE UPGRADE OF HARDWARE AND IPHONE, OF COURSE, OUR PRODUCTS CAN ALSO BE MORE COMPLEX, BUT IN THE UNITED STATES, SIMPLICITY ITSELF IS A BEAUTY," ACTON SAID.
Ruan Erniu shook his head and said: "SIMPLICITY IS A BEAUTY, BUT WHATSAPP NEEDS MORE THAN SIMPLICITY, DON'T BELIEVE IN WHAT THERE IS NO GIMMICK, TEACH YOU A Chinese 'TRUE FEELINGS SINCE ANCIENT TIMES CAN'T BE KEPT, ONLY ROUTINES WIN PEOPLE'." ”
"What do you mean?" asked Brian Acton, touching his stomach.
Ruan Erniu smiled: "It means that you can hurry up and lose weight!"
Acton didn't come to Houston alone, he also brought the split game group, which is currently the most profitable division of the company, with many games being downloaded at high rates on the app store.
Most of the members, Erniu is also meeting for the first time, and most of the core characters have only met in the video.
While communicating with them cordially, Erniu also talked about their latest game "Angry Birds".
Ruan Erniu said to them: "This is a game that can be used as a signboard, you have to dig deep into its content and thickness." ”
One of the core creators is a member of Rovio Games in Finland - Jamie Laess, whose proposal was not adopted, but he did not expect to get a chance in the United States.
Lais smiled and said: "Kraft, I'm also your fan, to be honest, some of the ideas in the game came from the Eagles!"
The group talked happily and expressed their opinions, which made Erniu more and more optimistic about his idea of splitting up the game department, and so far, they have done better than they imagined.
……
The Hawks played against the Rockets on the road on December 9, and this time the back-to-back side became the Houston Rockets, Da Yao just led the team to a big game with the Grizzlies on the road, and hurried back to the home court to face the Hawks, but not surprisingly, the Rockets were easily killed by the Hawks.
At present, it seems that among the three small powerhouses in Texas, the Rockets still have the most championship phase.
The Rocket complex of Celestial Empire fans is still there, but the Rockets who injured Maddie really can't see any further appearance.
On December 10, 2008, the Atlanta Hawks arrived in San Antonio to face the Spurs, the last opponent of the Texas trifecta.
After an ugly defensive battle, the Hawks eventually lost by two points and suffered their third loss of the season.
No one cares that the Hawks lost two games because of two back-to-backs, and what people care about is that after this game, the Hawks and Cavaliers are tied at 18-3, and the Hawks are only at the top of the league by a small margin.
