As the All-Star Weekend progresses, NBA ratings are starting to pick up, and it's not just pointing to the live broadcast of the Hawks' games that are doing things at two ends in three days to drive the ratings.

Of course, the attention of the Hawks is still high because they continue to do things and are about to kill their opponent Nets.

Aside from the Lakers, who are constantly in the news of all sorts of laces, there is no team in the league that can compete with the popularity of the Hawks right now.

In the game after the Hawks rested for three days, the league and the media were building momentum for this game early, and the lace news that made the attention of this game increase again also came, Kidd privately scolded Stockton, an old-timer, saying that Stockton is a garbage without Malone and does not deserve to be selected as an All-Star starter.

This made Kidd get under fire again, but it made this game more interesting!

Stockton was okay and didn't comment on that in an interview, but the rest of the Hawks didn't do it.

Liu Mang said bluntly in an interview: "Without Kenyon Martin, the guy who hides behind other people's backs and shoots is a piece of garbage, and he can't get in." ”

Liu Mang's words have been interpreted a lot of meaning, and some fans think that Liu Mang vowed to eliminate Kidd in the playoffs, because the Nets are basically unlikely to be in the top three in the East, and they are unlikely to have a chance of winning 50 wins, but as their record stabilizes and there is no possibility of falling out of the top four, the Hawks and the Nets may meet in the second round this time.

Some fans think that Liu Mang's words are satirizing the Nets' big three, some fans think that Liu Mang is simply counterattacking Kidd's words, and some fans think that Liu Mang is mocking Kidd, his teammates, and coaches are full of contradictions......

Except for Stockton, who didn't cause trouble off the court, the rest of the Hawks players came in support of Stockton and told Kidd to shut up.

Karl Malone, on his side, was a lot more direct, telling Kidd to be careful of his arm accidentally hitting someone in the next game against the Lakers.

The scolding battle didn't start scolding, the Nets didn't respond to anything, Kidd was at a loss, and the Nets followed suit.

……

On January 31, the day of the game between the Hawks and the Nets, Atlanta was dry! The enthusiasm of the fans is at an all-time high!

After the Nets entered the game venue of Phillips Arena, they were very uncomfortable with the frenzied atmosphere of the fans, and compared to the last time they met, they felt that this away game had become a little scary!

The Eagles' devil's home court is already well-known in the league, but the last time the Nets came, the Hawks' devil's home court had not yet formed, and they were not mentally prepared.

After Rasheed Wallace hasn't sent out a celestial honor, the Hawks have this momentum at home for only one reason, the opponent is the Nets!

There are already three All-Star starters, and among the three of Rashid Wallace, Raheem, and Jason Terry, one player is bound to be selected for the All-Star bench, and all three are possible, but it's hard to say who is, that is, the Hawks must have at least 4 All-Star players on the court at the same time this year!

The Nets are almost the most hated opponent in the history of the Hawks, the Celtics got Russell away, that is the blindness of their own management, and finally in recent years, their own management suddenly got Liu Mang like God's mercy, and then got Boozer, Prince, and Rasheed Wallace, but the Nets have been in front of the Hawks, and the hatred has gradually accumulated.

Atlanta fans, who were already excited about the possibility of four All-Stars this year, became even more excited when they saw the Nets!

The Eagles are on a 10-game winning streak, and fans certainly want the Eagles to go further!

Kidd is also privately cursing the veteran Stockton, who is now very respected in Atlanta, and the addition of Stockton is like a relief for the Hawks' relatively weak point guard line, and Liu Mang's previous replacements have been the likes of Dean Grove and Jacqui Vaughn.

The Nets have won three times in a row, and the old and new hatreds are counted together, and the Hawks fans are desperate to sweep the Nets in the regular season!

For the Hawks, it is also a key game to build confidence that they may play the Nets in the second round in the playoffs!

Although it has beaten the Nets in three consecutive games before, it seems that the situation is a little different now, the Nets have formed a new lineup, Carter's addition has undoubtedly made the Nets more terrifying in theory, the psychological advantage of the two teams has returned to the same level, and the Hawks want to accumulate the psychological advantage seems to be back to the starting line.

If the Hawks win this game, the Nets may not have much of a psychological disadvantage, because the new team only loses one game, but if the Hawks lose, the psychological blow will be great!

So for the Eagles coaching staff and players, this game must be won as well!

Since Kidd's words reached the Hawks players after the All-Star starters were announced two days ago, the Hawks' hatred for the Nets has become deeper, and they have been preparing for the defense of the Nets' four outside lines for the past few days.

Although Stockton didn't know that he could play for a few minutes, although he didn't respond to Kidd's words, he silently tried his best to prepare for this game, and not responding doesn't mean that he is not angry!

Moreover, today's game is a very important game for Liu Mang.

Now that he is 3-0 Kidd in the regular season, Liu Mang's hatred in the Avengers series of tasks has been half completed and he can get Kidd's star card, but Liu Mang is not satisfied with only getting Kidd's star card!

Kidd's star card can experience the feeling of controlling the court, and Liu Mang thinks it's also good, but if you can get Stockton and Magic Johnson...... Or is it Stephen Curry? Steve Nash's pinnacle star card? Doesn't it feel better?

Liu Mang is more interested in the star cards of these stars with better offense than in the star cards of Kidd.

So in this game, Liu Mang must win!

In the past two days of preparation, Liu Mang drew three intermediate superstar value draws, and drew two star cards and a special skill upgrade card.

You have to wait until you have saved up enough skill upgrade cards, and then choose one of those skills that have not reached the full level to upgrade to level 5, but there is no rush for the time being, because it is a bit difficult to develop new technologies during the season, and the key is to hone the existing skills to a better level.

And those two star cards seem to be useless, one is the peak Calderon star card, and the other is the peak Vujaci star card, when Liu Mang drew these two star cards, he looked at Calderon as a sparring partner with resentful eyes for a long time...... It's a little used to Calderon's creepiness, and it's been the norm for this little boss to occasionally get nervous within the Eagles......

In this game, he will face the defense of Kidd and Richard Jefferson, and without additional strength bonuses, Liu Mang knows to rely more on his teammates!

……

After the players of the two teams entered the court, the atmosphere was very solemn, and they did not even talk to their familiar friends, and they all warmed up silently in their own half.

Even Carter, who has a high emotional intelligence, did not come to greet familiar friends such as Liu Mang and Rahim, and his high emotional intelligence allowed him to distinguish priorities more clearly, obviously Carter understands very well that for him now, it is more important to have a good relationship with Kidd, and to gain a firm foothold in the strong team of the Nets, which is undoubtedly the most important thing for Carter now.

After Liu Mang entered, he was observing the strength of the Nets' lineup.

Carter changed teams, returned to peak form under the leadership of Kidd, and re-played at the level of a top star, with an ability rating of 92, second only to Kidd among the players in the game, and the same as Rahim's ability evaluation.

Kidd is still in his prime, and the ability evaluation of 94 is completely because the individual offense is too bad and drags him back, and he is definitely a superstar-level player, which Liu Mang has felt in the past two years.

After Richard Jefferson got Carter for the Nets, his performance didn't slip as expected, but he played better! Carter was a significantly greater threat than Kenyon Martin, and Richard Jefferson instead had more opportunities to perform, next to Kidd and Carter, Richard Jefferson played close to the top stars, and the system judged that Richard Jefferson had an 88 rating of ability when playing next to Kidd and Carter.

Only Kittels, after being beaten to the bench, has fallen below 70 in his ability evaluation, and he doesn't seem to have much attachment to basketball.

After reading the ability evaluation of the Nets' "Big Three", Liu Mang found that the Nets were not as easy to deal with as he imagined!

At least now that they have just formed a team to play together, all three of them have played their best at this stage in order to prove themselves! It can be seen from the fact that the Nets have improved to a 25-20 record and are firmly in fourth place in the East.

In fact, the Nets have always been ranked fourth in the East, but before it was only because they were the top in the Atlantic Division, and now they have relied on the "Big Three" to really bring back the record and really sit back to the first place in the East.

……

The final preparation before the game is over, the game is about to start, after Liu Mang and Boozer hugged, Boozer returned to the bench, Liu Mang waved the magnesium powder floating over Rahim with his hand, looked at the big screen above the court, and waited for the arrival of the roar of Tianzun that he never got tired of watching.

The players on the Nets' side are also staring at the big screen to see what the legendary Rasheed Wallace's roar is like.

When the lights dimmed and Rasheed Wallace's gruff face came into the eyes of the Nets players, the Nets players had a creepy feeling, and when the cheers of the scene entered the ears of the Nets players with Rasheed Wallace's roar, they finally knew what the legendary Hawks' devil's home court really meant!

The race is about to begin!

……

Finish this game tomorrow! I stayed up late last night and still haven't slowed down, go to bed early today, and get up early tomorrow to update!
