Chapter 715: When will the winning streak end?

After beating the Raptors and winning 22 straight games to start the season, the Hawks still haven't stopped their tracks. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

On December 13, 2009, the Eagles returned to Atlanta, where they will continue their third consecutive home streak.

Their first opponent is the New Jersey Nets.

This is a team that has given up on itself and is bent on pursuing the top picking.

Starting with the cheap handling of Vince Carter and Richard Jefferson in the summer, it means they have no future ahead of them this season.

Devin Harris and Brook Lopez are the team's only hopes, but the two of them alone are clearly not enough to stand up to a surging Atlanta Hawks.

Ruan Erniu taught Lopez, a sophomore, a good lesson and told him the importance of good centers to practice shooting.

Even if there is no three-point long shot, a stable mid-range shot is also an important part of verifying the basic skills of the center, like Dwight Howard, who only knows how to tap physical talents, and ignores the tempering of basic skills, the center of the United States has no future at all.

After winning the Nets, the Hawks welcomed the Memphis Grizzlies three days later.

Tennessee, where Memphis is located, actually belongs to the East, and although the Grizzlies in Elvis Presley's hometown are a Western team, it is quite convenient for them to come to Atlanta to play, and even easier than them to go West, after all, they don't have to endure the test of long-distance flights.

This season's Memphis has done two big things in the summer:

First, the Grizzlies uniform team used Quentin Richardson, who had just joined on a free transfer, to trade power forward Zach Randolph from the Clippers, plus the original Mark Gasol, and since then the famous black and white bear combination has been established in the league.

Later, due to a well-known Celestial Dynasty animation, the ranking of Xiong Da and Xiong Er once caused heated discussions among Celestial Empire fans, but at present, Xiong Da's position should still belong to the black bear - Zach Randolph.

After being traded many times, the former Portland drug dealer seems to have repented, and since the start of the 09-10 season, he has proved that he is indeed a good interior player.

Second, Grizzlies management recruited the unwanted Allen Iverson from the free agency market in the summer on a one-year, $3.5 million contract.

However, under the Grizzlies' current tactical system, Iverson is only a team bench, and his tactical position is still ranked behind OJ Mayo and Mike Conley, which undoubtedly makes the four-time scoring champion feel unacceptable.

As a result, he only played three regular season games for the Grizzlies, and while averaging 22.3 minutes per game, the AI contributed 12.3 points and 3.7 assists to the team, shooting 57.7% from the field.

However, the Grizzlies' 1-5 record at the start of the season still disappointed everyone.

Grizzly management, a few days later, finally announced:

Ending his one-year contract with Iverson, the AI became a free agent again.

The arrogant Iverson wants to prove himself again, but the teams in the league have long been deterred by his cancerous attributes.

You must know that he is no longer the superstar who single-handedly picked up the 76ers and led the team to the finals.

On November 26, 2009, Allen Iverson released an open letter announcing his retirement, but just a day later, he reversed his decision to retire.

Perhaps unwilling to say goodbye to the highest stage, or perhaps thinking that he could work for a few more years, Iverson finally decided to lower his head, even if he was a substitute, he had to prove his worth.

This time, it was his eternal parent team, the Philadelphia 76ers, who handed him an olive branch.

The 76ers' uniform team gave the desperate AI an unguaranteed one-year contract, which was undoubtedly a relief for Iverson at this time.

At the press conference, AI burst into tears on the spot, vowing that he would lead the 76ers to the playoffs with Iguodala.

This was already at the beginning of December, and after Erniu saw the video of the press conference, he chatted with his teammates about it the next day.

Ruan Erniu said bluntly: "I don't know what Aaron thinks, but I'm sure Iguodala must not think like this!"

Erniu's words immediately made the Eagles players laugh.

In a certain way, the person who knows the psychology of the team boss best must be the team leader, and Erniu is qualified to say this.

Well, how the first brother staged a palace fight drama with AI has nothing to do with the Eagles, and they still have to focus on the game itself tonight.

In the preseason, the black and white bears put a lot of pressure on the Hawks, but in the regular season, the old and spicy defending champions quickly took advantage of the anti-counter maneuver and took the game away in a wave.

The Grizzlies' defensive system hasn't really been established yet, and until then, it's clearly not enough for them to reach the same level as the Hawks.

After taking out the Grizzlies, the Hawks welcomed the last opponent of three consecutive home games, the Utah Jazz.

As long as Jerry Sloan, the Jazz are a team that can never be underestimated.

The starting lineup for this game is:

C Memet Oku

PF Carlos Boozer

SF Ronnie Brewer

SG Wesley Matthews

PG Delon Williams

And on the Jazz's bench, there are also excellent players such as Kirilenko, Millsap, CJ Mills, Korver, and this year's No. 17 pick, Jeff Teague.

It can be said that just looking at the strength of the accounts, this is a team that can go head-to-head with any team in the league to play positional offense and defense.

However, the problems of this team are just as serious, they are too slow.

Whether it is Oku or Boozer, when facing Nguyen Er Niu, Josh Smith and even Chris Anderson, they seem to be slow to make up defense, and the only Kirilenko who is excellent in defense is also due to injury problems, and he has long since lost his bravery.

In the first quarter of the game, Atlantans, who held their breath and were ready to fight a defensive battle with their opponents, found that they were able to hit the basket again and again.

Especially Erniu, Ruan Erniu, who held the ball in a high position, had the advantage in the duel with Oku, and attacked with various ball-holding baskets, killing the Turks without the power to parry.

At the same time, the air cut of the lunar eclipse also gave Boozer the greatest defensive pressure, and the lunar eclipse was the team's second scoring point after Ruan Er Niu on 3 of 4 shots in a single quarter.

In the last few games, Embarrassment, Salmons and others are always very slow to heat, but it is the two Erniu and the Lunar Eclipse, at the beginning of the game, all kinds of impact on the inside, directly causing damage to the opponent.

In the second quarter of the game, Erniu and Yu Sen firmly controlled the scene and continued to expand the score advantage.

In the third quarter, the Hawks thought they would have the Jazz's most ferocious comeback, but they were wrong.

After the start of the second half, the Jazz were sleepwalking, completely unable to find touch on the defensive end, and were defeated by the Hawks in a wave, and never found a chance to turn around tonight.

83:114, if you don't put the name of the away team on it, I'm afraid few people will think that this is Sloan's team playing.

Jerry Sloan, born in 1942, is also old, and how long he can continue to fight in the league, no one can say.

But judging from the current Jazz's fighting will, it is not so easy for them to challenge for the championship.

The Eagles, who have won 25 straight games to start the season, ended their three-game home streak and were greeted by four consecutive away games.

Interestingly, though, none of the outlets thought the Eagles, who had won 25 games in a row, were under pressure.

Instead, they were sweating for the Eagles' four away opponents, as they could be one of the backdrops of storied history after their defeat to the defending champions.
