Chapter 716 This can be robbed of headlines
As a great team, winning is bound to become a habit. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The Atlanta Hawks, who have won 25 consecutive games to start the season, have already broken the record for the best season opening in the four major professional leagues in North America.
The previous record was the 20-game winning streak set by MLB's St. Louis Banishes in 1884.
What's even more terrifying is that even after another back-to-back away game, the Eagles are still favored, and no one can guess when they will win.
After a home win over the Utah Jazz, the Hawks are back on the plane and they will take on the Chicago Bulls on the road, back-to-back.
Of course, the Bulls, who are bent on recovering face from the defending champions and were defeated by the Hawks not long ago, will sit on the home court of Windy City this time, but the final result of the game still depends on the performance on the court.
On December 19, the Eagles arrived at the United Center arena.
Every time you come to this arena, the bronze statue of Jordan and the wall of honor of the Bulls dynasty are things that the Hawks generals can't avoid.
From the rookie season to the third season of his career, Erniu himself also felt a lot.
"Joe, when I was a rookie, I said we'd make our mark like the Chicago Bulls, what do you think?"
Joe Johnson said: "Aren't we on the road?
The lunar eclipse on the side interjected: "When we become a dynasty team, what the Bulls have, we will also have." ”
Mike Bibby said: "Let's win today's game, now every step we take is making history. ”
Zaza Pachulia urged: "Don't wait here, it's time for us to play!"
If the Eagles win another championship this season, all five of them will be a part of history together, as they will all hold three consecutive championship rings at the same time.
The game started quickly, and in the first quarter of the game, the Hawks showed the momentum of a super team, 36:16 in a single quarter, leading the opponent by 20 points.
Embarrassed Sen and Er Niu both scored double-doubles in a single quarter at the same time, giving the Bulls who were fighting at home a head-on.
In the second quarter, the Hawks' hand slipped a little, and the best sixth man, Jamal Crawford, had a poor performance, shooting just 1 of 4 in a single quarter, while the Bulls recovered some points under the leadership of Rose.
After halftime, the two sides played a suffocating defensive battle in the third quarter, the two sides played iron constantly, and the scene was once drowsy, and Rose and Erniu were probably one of the few efficient guys on the court.
They were all 4-of-6 shots in a single quarter, with Rose scoring 8 points in this quarter, while Ruan Erniu scored a double-double again through inside killing.
The Hawks still entered the final quarter with a score advantage of 15+, and the Bulls' backcourt broke out at the same time, with Hinrich and Rose scoring double-doubles in a single quarter, once chasing the scores of the two teams to only about 5 points.
At the critical moment, Salmons stepped up, and he shot 4 of 4 three-pointers in a single quarter, and in just 2 and a half minutes, a wave took the game away.
At 111:101, the Hawks won a game in back-to-back away games.
This season, the Hawks have two regular-season games to play against the Bulls, but now they have a 2-0 lead.
Derrick Rose finished with 32 points, six assists and four rebounds on 14-of-24 shooting, 0-of-1 three-pointers and 4-of-6 free throws.
Ruan Erniu made 16 of 22 shots, 1 of 2 three-pointers, and 7 of 10 free throws, scoring 40 points, 24 rebounds, and 4 assists.
The Adi Twin stars shone all over the field, but there was only one winner of the game.
The Hawks started the season with a 26-game winning streak, and their first opponent in a four-game away streak was unable to stop the superteam that was on the cusp.
The hot topic of all-rice is still unanswered, because there is still no team that can stop the Eagles.
The Eagles seem to be enjoying the spotlight, with many of their players being questioned or simply unfamous, but now they are part of the best team in the Rice.
The regular season was still going on, with Rose playing east in Chicago and having a light meal for Erniu, while the Hawks were back on their way to their next stop after two days of rest.
However, not long after they boarded the plane, the league's most famous scandal of the season erupted.
As soon as the Atlantans got off the plane, they were surprised to find that their headlines had been robbed before they could adjust to the local Minnesota temperature!
It wasn't the game itself that grabbed their headlines, but the appearance in the locker room, and the media quickly gave the scandal a domineering name - gungate!
The protagonists of the story are Gilbert Arenas and Gavallis Critanton of the Washington Wizards.
Later, according to Arenas's own recollections, the story should have been like this:
Javier McGee, the center of the Wizards at the time, won Critanton $1,100 in a poker game.
Before that, Earl Boykins lent McGee $200.
After winning, McGee did not immediately return the money to Boykins, and an argument ensued, with Critanton angrily scolding McGee for not paying the money back quickly, and Arenas saying that he was not involved in the game at the time.
"Give him back the damn money. You've taken all of my wealth. Critanton yelled at McGee.
So Arenas stepped up and said, "How do you talk to your teammates like that? ”
Then Critanton walked toward Arenas, and he cursed, "Just because you have money, what is it?"
And then they quarreled!
……
When asked how this could have been related to guns, Arenas paused, sighed, and recalled:
Someone said they were going to shoot, so Agent 0 heard it and said, "Come on, I want to see this happen, I want to see you shoot me!"
Arenas eventually refused to name the man, but he put the rest of the story on the table:
Arenas brought four guns with him, and said to the man, "Pick one, tell me if you shoot me someday, and I'll be ready to be shot." ”
Everybody knew that the man was Critankon, it was obvious.
And is Arenas' statement true?
As can be seen from his teammate Caron Butler's later autobiography, "Hard Juice: From the Streets to the Road to the NBA", the story is largely true.
If Butler hadn't deliberately shown his heroic side, it was Caron Butler himself who finally stepped forward to act as a peacemaker, as he wrote in his autobiography:
"Hey, come here and pick one," Arenas pointed at his pistol and defiantly at Critanton, "I'll blow you off in the head with one of them." ”
"Oh, no, you don't need to hit me with one of these. Critanton said, and he slowly turned around. "I happen to have one too. ”
Critanton held up a loaded gun and pointed it directly at Arenas.
At this time, the rest of the Wizards players came to the locker room one after another, and they were joking with each other, but when they saw this scene, the laughter suddenly stopped, and it took them a few seconds before they reacted. They looked at each other in amazement, and then they both ran away.
I didn't panic because I had been through a shootout, and I reminded Critanton: "If you pull the trigger, your career could be ruined, and even your whole life." ”
Then I looked back at Arenas, who fell silent and slowly left the scene.
Critanton also slowly lowered the gun in his hand.
Talking about it later, Butler laughed and said, "When I was only a teenager, I saw a lot of scenes like this, so I wasn't nervous at all." ”
Assuming that Arenas and Butler are both telling the truth, the general outline of the story is pretty clear, but that's not the point.
The focus of the story should be the first time that an NBA team has a player pulling out a gun and facing each other, which is the first time in the history of the league.
You can shoot at your teammates today, you can shoot directly tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow everyone will be in danger, knowing that the whole league will collapse.
In a way, the level of damage to the alliance with the gun gate is no worse than the Auburn Hills palace incident.
Later, the president of the league, David Stern, announced the results of the penalty for gunmen.
The two main characters of the gungate, Arenas and Corry Tanton, will each be heavily fined and will be banned from all competitions for the remainder of the season, as well as fines and social activities.
However, not everyone was satisfied with the decision, and some small media outlets wrote:
Artest has been banned for 73 games;
Sprewell, who almost strangled the coach, was suspended for 68 games;
Arenas, who played with Kobe, was only banned for 50 games.
I seem to understand something......
