The second quarter of the game began quickly, and Crawford, who played a mediocre game in the first quarter, still showed no signs of recovery in the offensive touch in this quarter.

Fortunately, the Clippers performed even worse, and Al Thornton, who was compressed into playing time, was still the first offensive option in the rotation, but under the Birdmen's defense, Thorton's performance was quite average, shooting only 1 of 4 in a single quarter.

This is the embarrassment of older rookies, in terms of immediate power, Thorton is indeed better than Jordan Jr., but compared to the future ceiling, DeAndre Jordan is definitely the more potential party.

Of course, the mentality of the players is also important.

Crawford, who was also reduced from a starter to a bench and was traded from the Warriors to the Hawks, has seen a qualitative improvement in offensive efficiency compared to last season, although his stats have declined.

And what about Al Thorton?

His performance went straight to the water!

The changing Clippers management does have a little bit of responsibility, but on the other hand, it also proves that Thornton is not the kind of player who can become an All-Star caliber player.

At the end of the rotation time, both sides sent their main players to the field.

On the Clippers side, there is one player who has not been substituted but has continued to stay on the court, and he is Ricky Davis.

That's right, it's the bull who treats James like a bag boy and dares to throw the ball to his basket in order to make a triple-double.

Needless to say, his brain-dead is needless to say, but in addition to this person with a funny face, his three-point shooting level is better than the average fan thinks in the league.

When the Clippers lacked offensive points, Davis had no brains to shoot, and sometimes there was no way to do it, but he was really able to shoot tonight.

Ricky Davis hit two long-range shots in a row, and the score, which had been gradually pulled away, was chased close again.

Facts have proved that sometimes, a few blind hits can move basketball and the world.

Ruan Erniu still suppressed Chris Carman in the counterpoint, don't look at Kaman's height advantage, but the defense of the Celestial Empire is not vegetarian.

The continuous downward momentum made it difficult for Carman to even stand firm, let alone maintain his shooting percentage.

Truth be told, if Kaman could still hit the basket despite Erniu's desperate defense, he should have changed his name to Dirk Nowitzki a long time ago.

At 23:24, the two sides played to a tie in the second quarter.

The shooting percentage of both teams is not high, the Clippers are limited, and the Hawks are really tired, after all, they have just finished the final in Oklahoma, and they are in a hurry to rush back to play back-to-back, which has too much impact on the physical fitness of the defending champions.

At the end of the first half, 46:57, the Hawks led by 11 points.

Nguyen Er Niu was interviewed by local reporters in Atlanta in midfield.

"The schedule is a bit bad for the team, how are you going to adjust yourself?"

Erniu replied with a smile: "It seems that this problem will be encountered every year, I don't think there is much to say, it is that we need to learn to distribute and adjust in the competition, and we must believe in the process!"

"You and Joe are both iron men on the team, you two have only missed three games in the last two seasons or so, and you haven't missed a regular season game since you entered the league, what has kept you healthy for so long?"

Erniu shrugged his shoulders and said, "Eat well, sleep well, train well, I think that's probably the case!"

"Last question, what kind of record will the Hawks win this season? 81-1?"

"I don't know, we don't deliberately pursue this, but if we can do it, I think we will become legends!"

It's a joke, of course, that the Hawks, no matter how tough they are, won't be able to go on a losing game in the regular season, but they're now writing unprecedented league history.

However, from the Q&A between the two alone, it is not difficult to see:

The Los Angeles Clippers are really not getting anyone's attention, and no one believes they can end and stop the Hawks' winning streak.

Minutes later, inside the Eagles locker room.

"Kraft, after the game, let's go have a drink together?" Lunar Eclipse proposed, leaning on his chair.

"You know, J-Smoove, I also drink juice when I go, and I prefer to stay at home rather than go to a club. Erniu, who had just returned to the locker room, refused.

Woodson suddenly said, "Shut up, is this the time to discuss this? Don't be too lax, the game isn't over yet......"

Egghead continued to emphasize his defensive strategy, but the Eagles generals still looked lazy.

The second half of the game started quickly.

On the offensive end of the Clippers, Byron Davis held the ball high and used Camby to cover the penalty area.

"Bang!"

"Toot!"

Davis forced the inside to draw a foul and make a free throw.

The bearded man made two free throws and two hits.

On the offensive end of the Hawks, Embarrassment missed a shot, and Camby protected the backcourt rebound and sent the ball to the bearded man.

Davis held the ball over half court, high post and Carman did a block, and then into the box, the Hawks immediately shrunk the defense, Davis did not choose to go hard, pass the ball ......

Outside the three-point line 75 degrees on the right, Russell Butler was unguarded.

Catch, Shoot, Hit!

The Eagles' defense did go awry.

TIME-OUT！

Woodson asked for a timeout, but to no avail.

Pausing is not a panacea, and it is not easy for the Far Mobilizer to regain tension after relaxing his mind.

On the offensive end of the Hawks, Erniu held the ball in the low post and shook off Carman's defense with his back, but he was confronted by Camby's big hat.

Camby's single defense ability has been hacked, but it must be admitted that his D-POY was won by relying on the league's top defensive ability.

On the offensive end of the Clippers, the bearded man, who was active in the quarter, repeated his old trick and distributed the ball to Russell Butler in the bottom corner after hitting the inside to attract the bag.

Butler made a feint to shake off Salmons, who came to help, and then held the ball along the baseline to the basket.

Russell Butler and Josh Smith met in the air.

Butler turned the dunk into a toss, and after a confrontation with the eclipse in the air, he lightly threw the ball out.

"Brush!"

Goal in!

Woodson angrily called a long timeout again, and it was no longer a matter of slackening the defense, and the Hawks were almost broken by their opponents.

There is a sense of pride in the Hawks players who have been winning, as if it is a natural thing to beat other teams in the league, but when a team like the Clippers that can't even make the playoffs can stab them, a feeling of frustration is gradually spreading.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, everyone, take it easy, we're still ahead of our opponents!"

What if you lose tonight's game?

We're still at the top of the league, and we're still the best team in NBA history so far!"

Erniu's words made the Eagles gradually calm down, and the Eagle King was not wrong at all.

Even with the loss to the Clippers, the Hawks are still at the top of the league and have the highest winning percentage in history for the same period.

If such a team needs to put on a bitter face, then some teams that have been fighting for the top prize for many years have to collectively apologize?

The Hawks are gradually recovering, but the reality of being caught up by opponents in the third quarter will not change.

In the second half of the third quarter, the Hawks players, who were gradually regaining their form, were unable to completely stop the Clippers' pursuit.

At 72:73, the Hawks played a terrible quarter, and they entered the final quarter by just one point.

This score means that they could be killed by the Clippers at any time, ending their 20+ winning streak.
