Chapter 196: Defeat and Return to Los Angeles

A heavy defeat, a game with little room for resistance. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Maybe the moment the Atlantans set foot on Phoenix soil, they had already lost.

On this cold January day, the people of Phoenix are still walking the streets in short sleeves.

While this time last year, the Phoenix people were hit with snow not seen in decades, but this year, everything is back to normal.

As the capital of Arizona, Phoenix people are still more accustomed to living in a summer-like environment all year round.

As someone who spent almost the first four seasons of his career here, he knows both Phoenix and the Suns well.

"It's a team with a fast break tradition and I'm sure we have a lot of players in the team who are very impressed with them. Don't take our win against them at the start of the season, when the Suns weren't complete.

I also want to say, don't be fooled by D'Antoni's 'seven-second theory', with Steve Nash here, the Suns can't complete an offense in five seconds at all. I had to lower the tempo. Otherwise, we will most likely lose this game. ”

Unfortunately, the words of the Eagles did not attract the attention of the Hawks.

From the beginning of the first quarter of the game, they were pushed to the floor.

Nguyen Er Niu was not stunned (Xiao Si, Amare Studamayre), but the Hawks were completely lost in the Suns' stormy offense.

With the powerful finisher of Xiao Si, Nash's passing power is even more terrifying. At 17:28, the Phoenix people played the game in the first quarter.

After the start of the second half, Nguyen Er Niu also tried to lead the team to launch a counterattack. But in the face of the Suns' stormy wave of attacks, the Atlantans were quickly beaten to the ground.

Ma Liang (Marion Pinyin Reading) shot 6 of 6 in a single quarter, slashing 13 points, and his performance was amazing.

Even Grant Hill, a basketball prodigy who has been sentenced to death by doctors, has seen his attendance skyrocket with the help of the Suns' medical team.

In this quarter, Hill shot 4 of 4 and scored 11 points second only to Maleon.

The Hawks, who were trailing by a large margin, replaced all their main players after the third quarter.

Ruan Erniu's performance today is not outstanding, playing 3 quarters and winning 30+20 data, which is not not strong.

But in the face of wave after wave of offense from the Suns, his individual efforts seemed very small.

Xidi (Xiao Si), who was opposite Erniu, scored 24 points and 7 rebounds, is his performance worse than Erniu?

This is by no means the case, because Xidi shot 10 of 11 in this game, and the shooting rate was as high as 90%, with the addition of Steve Nash, Xiaobawang's face frame attack efficiency is really terrifying.

If you have to find one or two back-to-the-back objects for this game. The embarrassment and the lunar eclipse will definitely not be able to escape.

The duo scored 9+8 and 7+7 respectively, while shooting an outrageous 21.4% and 23.1% from the field.

With such a successful and thorough undercover style, even Ruan Erniu couldn't help but wonder if this guy was bought by the Suns, and whether the guy Lunar Eclipse simply gambled.

Well, the past can't be changed, and at 100:125, the Hawks suffered their worst defeat of the season on the road, and they were completely crushed by the Phoenix people.

After the game, Ruan Erniu said depressedly at the press conference: "I didn't defend Amare, it's irrefutable, I have nothing else to say." ”

But ESPN's Phoenix correspondent Mark Stern didn't spare the Celestial Empire, questioning, "Aren't you unhappy with the performance of your teammates? I'm talking about Joe Johnson and Josh Smith." ”

Ruan Erniu waved his hand and said: "It's not the responsibility of one or two players to lose, it's the problem of the whole team." A long road trip is quite physically demanding, and it is an opportunity even if it is a challenge for us. We won't dwell on this defeat, the most anticipated game is always the next one. ”

Ruan Erniu's answer was polite and courteous, and Mark Stern had to sit down stupidly. His questioning is clearly ill-intentioned, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it.

At the end of the Phoenix tour, the Hawks dragged their tired bodies up and down and flew to Los Angeles, the last away game of the five-game team.

And their opponent is the Los Angeles Clippers.

This season's Clippers have had many disasters, starting with the "captain" Elton Brand at the beginning of the season being reimbursed for the season due to injury, and in this game, the team's top scorer Corey Margeti is also out due to injury.

In the face of such a remnant, Atlantans certainly hope to use a win to draw a perfect end to their road trip.

The Hawks arrived in Los Angeles a day early, and Ruan Erniu returned to California and returned to a familiar city, and suddenly felt like a world away.

From joining the NBA to today, it has actually only been half a year. But he felt as if he had been away from Los Angeles for years.

In Los Angeles, Nguyen spent most of his first two years in the country.

Here is his life, his story, here is his sweat, his glory, here is his friends, his love.

This legendary city is a testament to the success of the superstar Ruan Er Niu.

When I returned to my hometown, I had a hundred thoughts in my heart.

As soon as the Eagles arrived at the hotel where they were staying and opened their room, there was a knock on Ruan Erniu's door.

"Russell, long time no see!" Ruan Erniu said in surprise.

"Brother, long time no see!" Wei Shao laughed and took the initiative to hug Ruan Erniu.

There was also a tall white man standing behind Westbrook, and Wei Shao introduced Ruan Erniu: "This is the good partner I mentioned to you on the phone - Kevin Lefou, after you left, he is now UCLA's most reliable power forward." ”

Ruan Erniu shook hands with Lefu and said, "Hello, Kevin, I'm Kraft Nguyen!"

Lefu is tall and strong, but he is a shy man: "Hello, Kraft, I often hear your name at UCLA. Everyone is singing the praises of your crazy performance of killing alligators and horse chestnuts along the way last year. ”

Ruan Erniu smiled: "This is by no means my own achievement, every player on the court has done their best, including Russell." By the way, Russell, how are you feeling in the No. 2 position right now?"

Dawei Shao smiled heartily: "Very good! I feel full of strength." ”

The three UCLA alumni talked about their school and their parent team at the door, and talked about all kinds of interesting stories that happened between UCLA and USC this year.

Erniu said that this summer, if he has time, he will definitely go back to his alma mater to have a look.

The three of them chatted for a long time, and Wei Shao offered to leave: "Kraft, you need to rest now, because tomorrow you have to play against the Clippers, and Kevin and I will go to the scene to cheer you on." ”

Ruan Erniu smiled and nodded.

This is Wei Shao, on the surface, he is a strong player who does not care about it on the field. In fact, in life, this Scorpio is a standard warm man.

said goodbye to Wei Shao and Lefu, but Ruan Erniu didn't have time to rest, because the second wave of guests came.

The group of buddies from Rebe Academy came to Ruan Erniu's door not long after.

Carlos Rodriguez, Matthew Gable, Gray Peck, some of them are already working in society, while others are going to university and continuing their studies.

Now, of course, they all have a common title when they brag - Kraft Nguyen's teammates.

Assi Lao, who was behind Erniu, took the initiative to give up the room and decided to go out for a walk, and he saw that Ruan Erniu needed a little time to receive his friends in Los Angeles today. (To be continued.) )
