"Is this time another consecutive away game?" asked Han Meimei while helping Erniu pack her luggage. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ruan Erniu shook his head and said, "No, I'll come back when I go to Indiana, so I don't need to put too much change of clothes." ”

……

The Pacers are home to the Conceco Arena, and the Hawks arrived at their destination without incident.

Ruan Erniu was warming up routinely before the game, but he didn't expect the general manager of the Pacers, Larry Bird, an old fox, to come over at some point.

After all, he is a senior in the alliance and a top 50 superstar, Ruan Erniu did not dare to slack off, and took the initiative to say hello to him.

After a brief greeting, Erniu said, "Larry, so you recruited me to come to the Pacers again?"

Bird shook his head and said, "No, I mean to say, you need a Hall of Fame recommender in the future, how about I take the role?"

Ruan Erniu smiled: "Because I just scored 65 points?"

"No, because you were last season's champion!" Bird said with a laugh.

It is difficult for people in non-US basketball circles to understand the desire of NBA players for championships.

If it's a role player, it's fine, and for a superstar, if he doesn't win a championship in his life, it can almost be said to be the biggest regret in life.

The dream team that participated in the Barcelona Olympics in history has the so-called "super circle", and there are only three people in this circle: Bird, Magic, and Jordan.

From 1984 to 1992, the NBA won the annual MVP trophy for 9 consecutive seasons, which was won by Bird, Magic, and Jordan, three of each person.

So the three of them constitute a special group of the supreme dream team, and they can say anything to anyone.

When the Dream Team had just assembled in San Diego, California, Newsweek magazine wanted Jordan and Magic to be on the cover, and Jordan and Magic said, "No Larry." ”

So, Bird also joined the shooting of the cover photo of Newsweek.

Bird doesn't like to play cards and doesn't open his mouth to participate in discussions, but in Barcelona, in the family room of the Ambassador Hotel, late one night, three members of the "Super Circle" got together for a long conversation, and they mainly argued about two questions: What is the best team in NBA history, and which is the best player?

Speaking of teams, Magic's answer was, "Obviously one of our Lakers, we've won five championships, more than all of you." ”

Jordan had only two championships in his hands at the time, and he had something to say: "You haven't seen the best NBA team in history, I'm just getting started, and I'm going to win more championships than you." ”

Ewing and Barkley tried to join, Ewing suggested that the Celtics of Bill Russell's era were the best of all time, and Barkley told Jordan not to forget about him, and Barkley said, "Michael, I'm going to steal at least one championship from you." At that time, Barkley had already left Philadelphia as he wished and was traded to the Suns.

Bird was never as flamboyant as Jordan and Magic, but he had a much colder heart. As soon as Barkley said that, Bird stopped him: "You haven't got anything, Charles." ”

Barkley quickly withdrew with his tail between his legs.

There is no championship, and he is not hard to speak.

From this point of view, rather than being ridiculed when you are old, it is not a wise choice to win the championship when you are young.

Nguyen Erniu is undoubtedly lucky, he won his first championship ring in his rookie season, so his career will be much smoother in the future, because he does not have the pressure to win the championship.

casually teased a few words with Bird, and Erniuyou continued his pre-game warm-up.

This season's Pacers and last season's roster have undergone a lot of changes, sending away the aging O'Neal Jr. and trading TJ Ford from the Raptors.

I wanted to make a big play, but the team's main Mike Dunleavy and rookie Roy Hibbert have both suffered injuries, so the record so far this season is only 4-5.

Their starting line-up tonight is:

C Rasu Nestrovich

PF Troy Murphy

SF Danny Granger

SG Marquis Daniels

PGTJ Ford

Woodson guessed that the opponent would be a double high on the inside, and in order to ensure the team's hardness, he removed Chris Anderson again today and replaced it with Zaza Pachuria.

Ruan Erniu and Murphy stood in the middle circle and jumped the ball, and Erniu, who had more explosiveness, took the basketball first.

Bibi dribbled the ball across the half court and delivered it to Embarrassing Mori.

Embarrassment held the ball and shook it, faked the shot and hit it, after passing Daniels, he went inside to meet Nestroway to complete the throw, and hit!

On the offensive end of the Pacers, Granger held the ball on the outside, and after breaking through to Salmons' defense, he chose to make a pull-up jump shot and missed!

Erniu won the backcourt rebound and immediately broke through with the ball.

Just after half-time, he sent a penetrating ball to the ground, and the ball went to Salmons, who was in the middle of the basket.

The salmon shook off the defender and made an easy layup.

TJ Ford broke through with the ball, got past Bibby, drew the Hawks' defense and sent the ball to Nesterovic, who leaned on Pachulia for a dunk.

On the offensive end of the Hawks, Ruan Erniu missed a mid-range jumper, Murphy won the backcourt rebound, the offense and defense switched, and the ball went to Neslovich's hands again, and he took a big step to shake off Pachuria's defense and scored a layup again.

In the ensuing match, Nesterlovi seemed to find the feeling he had in his prime, scoring back-to-back points on Pachuria's head.

Nesterovic shot 5-of-6 from the field in the first quarter and scored a team-high 10 points and two rebounds.

In the second half of the first quarter, the tough guy Jeff Foster who came off the bench also showed a pretty good competitive state, he actually shot three of the three in this quarter, one of which was a hook shot completed by Ruan Erniu, and a ball was against the Birdman's defense, and the whistle hit a three-point shot.

The Pacers' interior showed the toughness of Lao Walker (the accurate translation of the Pacers' name) today, and although Erniu was not bad on the offensive end, it was still slightly lacking compared to the strong play of the opponent.

He was the Hawks' best player in the first quarter, shooting 4-of-5 from the field and 2-of-2 from three-point range in the quarter, scoring 10 points, five rebounds and two assists.

If it weren't for the outstanding performance of the Eagles, the Hawks would have fallen behind in the first quarter.

At 27:32, the Hawks trailed the home team by five points in the first quarter, and Larry Bird in the stands was rather calm. Although the Pacers are still not a strong team in the league, they are enough to be satisfied with the fact that they can press the defending champion like this with the main injury.

Some people are satisfied, others are quite unhappy, and he is the head coach of the Hawks - Mike Woodson.

"Are you kidding? This is the game, not the place for you to relax! Watch your defenders, don't let me see you sleepwalking on the field again, remember, it's game time!"

Woodson put a lot of emphasis on the tactics board with a grease pen, and in fact, he didn't have any special defensive tactics planned.

Egghead understands the urine nature of his group of players too well, and he just thinks that the opponent is too weak, so he can't lift his spirit.

These three days of vacation not only helped them recover their strength, but also allowed them to rest themselves!

Needless to say, these guys must be indispensable in Atlanta's nightclubs.

The defending champions are digging a big hole for themselves!
