Chapter 707: Fourteen Consecutive Wins and the Christmas War

After the game against the Heat, the Hawks then welcomed the Houston Rockets to visit. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It's still the same familiar red, but the players on the Rockets team are not what they used to be.

In the 09-10 season, Tracy McGrady ended up playing only 6 games for the Rockets under a time limit before being put on the injury list again.

Interestingly, this time Maddie said that he could still play, but the official news from the Rockets was that he couldn't. This is in stark contrast to last season, when T-mac privately decided to undergo surgery and announce the reimbursement of the season.

Everyone understands that a trade is only a matter of time, but the attitude of the Rockets' management can be considered tough.

Labor doesn't care what chips they can get back, but they just don't want you to jump on the field.

Don't you want to recuperate?

Great, we give you this chance!

Conflict between players and management never happens overnight.

If it's just an average player, it's okay to say that they will either be cut early or traded as a bargaining chip, but when it comes to a superstar like Maddie, that's a different set of guidelines.

The story of love and killing each other in the capital market is basically equivalent to a lose-lose situation, and neither Rocket nor Maddie himself is the real winner.

Da Yao is still conscientiously doing what he should do, leaving Artest, introducing Ariza with weakened defense and weakened offense, and it must be quite difficult for the Rockets to achieve the same success as last season in the new season.

After a hard-fought battle, the Hawks finally defeated the Houstonians by double digits, winning four consecutive home games while also winning the opening 13 straight games.

After the game, Erniu didn't have time to eat and chat with Da Yao, because they will embark on another road trip and play the New Orleans Hornets for the second time this season, and the schedule arranged by the league can be really speechless at times.

However, the two giants of the Celestial Empire continued to keep in touch on the phone.

Erniu said: "Brother Yao, I heard that you have changed your mind again and plan to participate in the World Championships?"

Da Yao smiled bitterly: "No way, all the good things of the leaders have been said, we lost to Iran again in Jinmen, and the above still hopes to take advantage of the 08 Olympics The main force is still there, fight more." ”

Ruan Erniu didn't say much on the surface, but in his heart he further affirmed his plan, some things are ready sooner or later.

Think about Li Ning, think about Liu Xiang, think about the current Da Yao, this is actually a difficult choice to make but must be made.

Time is still flying by.

The Eagles arrived in New Orleans and after four consecutive home games, they had another back-to-back away game.

This time, the Eagles' physical fitness was greatly tested, and many players in the team performed quite average due to physical problems.

And New Orleans, who have already lost once on the road, ushered in an explosion without CP3.

In the first quarter of the game, Erniu and Yu Sen successfully went undercover together, and both sent a magical performance of 4 shots and 0, digging a big hole for the Eagles who were fighting away.

But the Hornets' hands were not soft at all, Stoyakevich made 4 of 8 in a single quarter, including 4 of 5 three-point shots, and contributed 12 points in the first quarter, and Darren Collison, a UCLA alumnus of the Second Bulls, also took Paul's place well, shooting 2 of 4 in a single quarter, scoring 4 points, 4 assists, and 2 rebounds.

If it weren't for the eclipse and Crawford's performance, the defending champions would have been knocked over by their opponents in the first quarter.

19:22, that is, the overall offensive ability of the Hornets is average, otherwise the Hawks would never have been able to only trail by 4 points.

In the second quarter of the game, Er Niu and Embarrassed Son, who were scolded by Woodson, finally returned to normal and began to score again and again to contribute their effectiveness.

But a strange thing happened, when the two embarrassed combination behaved normally, the other players of the Hawks once again fell into a cold hand.

The regular season is long, and throughout the season, there are always surprises, even on the dominant side.

Also in this quarter, the Hornets in the '09 draft, Marcus Thorton, who was selected with the 13th pick in the second round, suddenly ushered in an outburst.

Suo's thigh is just a second-round show, but he can quickly rise to the top and become the sixth thigh-level man of the Hornets in the crisis, but this kind of performance can only be selected in the second round, and it has to be said that the Hornets uniform group has found a treasure.

Thornton scored nine points in the first quarter to lead the Hornets to 23-27, another four-point lead.

At halftime, 42:49, the Hawks trailed in the first half for the first time this season, while also setting a new low for the team's first half scoring this season.

Woodson didn't bother to scold, if the players can't get into the game as quickly as possible, the head coach's reprimand alone won't do much.

In the second half, Darren Collison showed why he was able to suppress the freshman on the bench, shooting 4-of-5 from the field in the quarter, including 2-of-2 from three-point range, for 10 points and 2 assists.

David West also showed his 17-foot shooter's shooting ability, scoring six points, three rebounds, and two assists in a single quarter, and at one point helped the team stretch the lead to more than double digits.

At the critical moment, Nguyen Erniu finally stepped up as the leader of the team, he first hit a three-pointer on the top arc and on the wing, and then there was a succession of back-to-back Okafor success under the basket, coupled with Bibby and Salmons' three-pointers successively, the Hawks finally chased the score to only 2 points at the end of the third quarter.

In the opening stage of the final quarter of the game, Jamal Crawford entered the ice period, shooting a series of iron, on the contrary, on the home team, Marcus Thornton once again showed his ability to ask for his thighs, shooting 4 of 7 in the final quarter, 1 of 1 three-pointers, 1 of 1 free throws, and 1 of 1 free throws, scoring 10 points in a single quarter, once again helping the team to expand the score advantage.

Erniu and Wo Sen were not transferred to the court early, and Woodson just wanted to see what the Hawks' bench could do.

Surprise appeared!

Steve Novak, who missed several games due to injury, burst onto the horizon and was in frighteningly better form for the three-point shooter compared to a tired Hawks.

"Brush!", "Brush!", "Brush!"

Novak only made three shots in the final quarter, all of which were three-pointers, and they hit all of them!

The game is good!

Erniu and Misery returned to the court, and the two sides fought to the death in the final quarter of the game, just looking at the defensive intensity, in the second half of the quarter, the two sides have reached the playoff level.

As a result, the two sides were tied in 48 minutes, 99:99, and went into extra time.

After all, overtime was the stage of superstars, and Ruan Erniu's low-post attack and Embarrassment's ball-holding singles dominated the short 5-minute overtime.

At 108:104, a time-consuming regular season finally came to an end.

In the post-match press conference, Nguyen Er Niu repeatedly highlighted the fluke of victory and the excellent performance of his opponent.

Of course, winning is winning!

The Hawks are on a 14-game winning streak and the league still hasn't had a team that can stop them.

And Atlantans finally got about four days of rest after playing this damn back-to-back.

They don't have much time to reunite with their families, though, because just Christmas, the Eagles will face the Orlando Magic for their first Christmas game in the 21st century at Philips Arena.

Erniu is still the first time to play the Christmas war, and it has been three years since he entered the league, and Erniu has finally won this honor for himself, is being an all-star a symbol of popularity?

Come on, there are 24 All-Stars in the East and West combined every year, and even All-Stars don't often have their turn to fight Christmas!

No, it should be said that a superstar who hasn't played the Christmas battle is not qualified at all!
