Silence, utter silence, it's hard to imagine that this is a team that has just played 48 minutes of intense play. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the Eagles locker room, there was silence, not even the slightest gasp, everyone held their breath, and no one made even the slightest sound.

When the silence reaches the extreme, people will have the illusion that if the beads of sweat drop on the floor, there will be a "pop!" sound, however, this is impossible.

How long has it been since there has been such an atmosphere on the Hawks?

The last time there was such a freezing point was around last season, when the team had just made a painful trade and suffered a three-game losing streak in the regular season when Mike Bibby entered the team due to a run-in problem.

Only the self-esteem of a strong team would make a team like the Eagles have such a sharp sense of frustration when they appear in the Ming Pair's defeat.

People who are always winning rarely imagine the pain after defeat, but when they really face failure, it is also very difficult for the team to adjust their emotions, or in other words, many people simply find it difficult to accept failure.

We are a 73-win team, how can we lose?

2:1? And two away games in a row?

Are we going to lose?

How many more will you lose?

Will we lose again at home?

Will we be defeated by rockets?

Will we be a laughing stock?

……

When people are depressed, they will infinitely magnify their pain and fear of the future in their narrow emotions.

G3 lost a crucial game, and with two consecutive away games to come, the Eagles will be putting themselves in danger if they lose back-to-back games.

In the history of the NBA, it is not unheard of for a team to lead two games and finally be overturned, and the Houston Rockets on the opposite side have a lot of say in this regard, and under the watchful eyes of the people of the Celestial Empire, they have lost to the Mavericks and Jazz in consecutive playoffs with a 2-0 lead.

The overall strength of the Atlanta Hawks is still far better than the Houston Rockets, but at this moment, in the hearts of some players, a series of bad and even pessimistic thoughts have been born.

Dreams always have to come true, what if they come true?

On the other hand, there will always be fear, but it must not be defeated!

Only those who died in battle, and those who were not scared to death.

Woodson went to the post-match press conference, embarrassed and ruthless again, looking at his teammates who were gloomy and gloomy, Ruan Erniu knew that he had to quickly collect his emotions and stand up to speak.

Today, however, someone took the lead.

Larry Drew is an assistant coach who doesn't have a strong presence, but he is an essential member of the Eagles.

"Guys, I'm sorry to bother you at this time, although you are still in a sad mood, I would like to say that this is not the end of the series, and your sadness has come a little earlier. ”

Drew's words made everyone's mood recover slightly, and then Larry Drew announced a shocking news.

"By the way, next season, I'm leaving Atlanta and going to the Chicago Bulls as head coach!" Larry Drew said in a calm tone.

"When?"

"Really?"

"Why don't we know?"

……

The Hawks players, who were still immersed in the atmosphere of losing just now, were suddenly attracted to attention, although smart people such as Erniu and others had already guessed that the team with 73 wins would definitely be poached, but they didn't expect it all to come so quickly.

A good team must have a united and upward whole.

Larry Drew, as the first assistant coach, is an unobtainable part of the whole team, and many times, Drew has taken on the role of regulating the atmosphere in the team, and when Mike Woodson reprimands the players harshly, Larry Drew can use a more relaxed tone to help the players relax their minds.

Of course, Woodson himself knows this well, and the two of them have always been a combination.

So, when Larry Drew was really leaving, everyone was quite reluctant.

But for Drew personally, this is another once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, as he finally has the opportunity to touch the next level and take charge of an NBA team independently.

Ruan Erniu was the first to step forward and give Drew a high-five, and congratulated: "Larry, congratulations, I believe that no matter where you are, you are ......"

"Wait! Kraft, and all of you who sit down again, you can just say goodbye to me, because I'm a member of the Atlanta Hawks until the end of the season, and we're not separated yet. Larry Drew laughed and said, "You know what I'm trying to say, can't you just let me get an extra championship ring and go?"

"No problem!

"Of course, we will definitely meet your request!"

"Haha, that's right, we're going to get there soon, and don't forget, we're the best team ever!"

……

The pain of defeat is only temporary, and it is indeed not on the verge of despair now.

The Eagles only lost one game, and they could have done better in the rest of the game to win the championship.

Mike Woodson was long overdue, and after being teased by the damn Houston media at the post-game press conference, Woodson responded hard.

Egghead opened the locker room door, and he was ready to take his players back to the hotel to rest immediately.

"Huh, what's going on with you?" Woodson looked at the Eagles in surprise, not with a look of frustration but with a look of hope for the future game, which surprised him.

"I told them the news that I was leaving, and now everyone is in a good mood, and this is probably one of the few things I can do for you before I leave!" Larry Drew whispered to Woodson's side and whispered into the head coach's ear.

"Old man, you'll always be one of us!" Woodson nodded heavily and hugged his first assistant coach.

The game was over, and the Hawks had their first playoff loss of the 08-09 season after a 14-game winning streak, no, the first loss of the play-off tournament of the playoffs, the Finals.

This is not a good thing for the Eagles, failure equals success, people, always grow up in setbacks.

Now the burden falls to the side of the Hawks' coaching staff, and after losing the game, they must come up with a response as soon as possible.

The Atalanta players quickly fell asleep when they returned to the hotel, and they needed a good rest and adjust to their condition.

But the Hawks coaching staff met overnight to study the G3 game footage, desperate to find the cause of the defeat and the way to break the game.

Woodson repeatedly emphasized in internal meetings: "Speak your mind and bring up whatever you want!"

Most of the coaching staff is cliché that the Hawks should continue to improve their defense, and that the Rockets' shooting percentage in this game is inflated, and it is impossible to be so accurate in every game.

Woodson dragged his chin and listened to everyone's opinions one by one, and his eyes fell to the last one, and he was the only one who had not yet spoken.

Nick Van Exel, Van Crazy, one of the Hawks' championship winners last year, the league's top draw breakup, but now he is part of the Hawks' coaching staff.

"Nick, it's your turn!" Woodson said, naming him.

Fan Maniac said clearly: "I think everyone is wrong, our problem is not in defense, but in offense!"
