On January 11, the Hawks won four straight games in Charlotte against the Hornets 96-83 in Charlotte.

The Hornets really don't have to say how much the strength of the squad has declined this season, last season they averaged only three players per game in double figures, but this season there are five, 2000 rookies Lee Nayron and Jamal Magloyer have played beautiful sophomore performances, and the bearded Byron Davis continues to improve, from an average of 5+2+3 per game in the first year to 13+5+7 in the second year to an average of 20+4+5 per game this season, from the individual strength of the players, it has been rising.

However, it has been confirmed that they will move away from Charlotte, I don't know how many people will be able to stay in the team next season, what the new owner thinks, and a series of other questions, resulting in the original core lineup getting better and better year by year, seeing that all the three major rivals last season have been played, and it is possible to go further this year, so it has inexplicably collapsed.

Unlike the Pacers who are still trying to wrestle their wrists with the Hawks, the Hornets players are doing their own thing, the first generation of Jordan's successor, Jamal Marshburn, is doing it with the ball, with the lowest shooting rate since his rookie season, 38 percent shooting rate averaged 20 shots per game and scored 21 points, Byron Davis scored a full 7 points this year, but rebounds and assists have declined, pouting his big ass and chiseling inside, just thinking about brushing up good data, maybe he will be traded, playing 20+5+5 data, The end of the season is the time to renew the contract early, and the maximum salary cannot be obtained without good data.

The two cores have no intention of fighting for the data and are not even able to compete for a playoff spot, and they basically have no power to fight back against the Hawks who are as sharp as a blade because of Raheem's hard work.

Raheem had 29 points and 12 boards, Jason Terry had 17 points and 6 assists, Liu Mang had 15 points and 5 assists, and Muhammad had 13 points and 13 boards, and the Hawks easily beat the Hornets to win four in a row.

Sometimes, based on strength, reasonable hype can increase the popularity of a public figure quite significantly!

On January 12, the first phase of the eighteen-day All-Star Voting was completed.

Carter was undoubtedly the first voting stage voter with 530,000 votes.

The second largest vote in the East is Iverson, with 350,000 votes, and the third is Jordan with 320,000 votes.

Raheem received more than 100,000 votes in just three days, ranking second in the Eastern Striker with 190,000 votes, far ahead of Antoine Walker with 110,000 votes.

As long as Raheem can maintain his current average of 24+11 per game and not decline, the position of the All-Star starter is basically stable, and this wave of nonsense, not being favored, and slapping the face counterattack operation, the popularity has increased greatly, and people have discovered that the 96 golden generation also has a small forward who can average 23+10+3 per game in the third grade.

The center in the East received the most votes was 76ers center Mutombo, with 130,000 votes.

The weakness of the Eastern frontcourt is the key to Raheem's ability to directly occupy an All-Star starting position in the frontcourt with a wave of operations.

On the western side, Kobe Bryant also led the way with 450,000 votes, and Francis ranked second among Western defenders with 190,000 votes.

In terms of center, O'Neill got 410,000 votes and occupied the first place in the center without suspense.

Forward competition is fierce, and there are too many popular forwards in the West, with Duncan in first place with 330,000 votes, Garnett second with 320,000 votes, Webb third with 280,000 votes, and Rashid Wallace in fourth place with 230,000 votes.

……

Liu Mang is very envious of Rahim, mainly because he has to have strength! If he had Rahim's personal ability, and according to his style of play, he would not be able to run as an All-Star in his rookie year.

Therefore, Liu Mang decided to train harder, perform better in the game, start from the two aspects of personal effort and system bonus, and try to improve his personal ability, not thinking that he has the identity of a Chinese player, and after entering the domestic market, he can get a lot of all-star votes and relax!

Raheem can have the possibility of being selected as an All-Star starter, the Hawks are very happy, Liu Mang sees hope, and small cities also have a future, Jason Terry sees the possibility of being selected as an All-Star substitute, and everyone else is simply happy for Rahim, this year's record has improved so much, most of the Hawks are very happy, and the team atmosphere is very harmonious.

But everyone knows that whether it's Raheem's All-Star starter or Jason Terry's All-Star bench, they need one very important thing - record!

The record is the root of everything, and the data of the two cannot fall anywhere, the main thing is the record.

In the middle of this difficult season before All-Star Weekend, the team has to hold on!

It's not about All-Star Stars, it's about what to expect this season!

People, they are all ambitious, as they get more, their ambitions will get bigger and bigger, and they will sit firmly in the top four in the east, and naturally think about the top two!

At noon on the 12th, the Hawks arrived at Detroit, the city that caused their home to slip from the first place in the East.

Both the Hawks and Pistons now have a 24-10 record, and since the Pistons beat the Hawks once, the two teams are evenly matched, but the Pistons are in second place, and the Hawks are in fourth place.

This game is crucial for both teams.

Who doesn't want to finish second and keep their chances of hitting first?

For the top three in the East with similar records, one more loss may affect the final ranking, and this is a direct rival!

In addition to the results, there is also a very important point, the best coach!

Coach Krueger and Coach Carlisle are the two coaches with the highest demand for the best coach this season, and they are both rookie coaches, although it doesn't matter what we say, we focus on the team's victory.

But if anyone believes this, it is Shi Lezhi, a coach may devote his career, there is only one chance to get the best coach, as strong as Jerry Sloan, more than ten years, with such a good record, there is no chance to get the best coach, as strong as a Zen master, and there is only one best coach.

A coach may have the opportunity to get the best coach in the first year of coaching because he led the team to a record that exceeded expectations, but then even if he maintains such a good record every year, he will never get another chance, which is normal, because it was amazing at the beginning, and then it felt normal, and I felt that you already had that ability, and the comparison was made by the coach who was already very good, and there was no such feeling of being eye-catching.

So this game, whether it's for the team ranking or for the best coach, both teams take it very seriously.

Originally, the Hawks had two national live broadcasts left, one was to play the Knicks in New York, and the other was to play the Celtics in the regular season curtain call, but the Hawks' popularity has soared in recent times. T Sports has added an all-American livestream especially for the Eagles on this day!

. T also likes to do things, and specially sent a commentary combination of Charles Barkley, who is not so pleasing to Liu Mang, and Kenny Smith, a sullen man who loves to do things.

After the last time they commented on the game between the Hawks and the Lakers, the big-mouthed Barkley gambled to imitate Liu Mang to dance pole dancing and then lost miserably, he has been shirking and saying that when the Hawks go to the commentary next time the Hawks broadcast live in the United States, he jumped before the game, he was originally thinking about the next time the Hawks broadcast live in the United States, it was March, and people might have forgotten about it......
