Phillips Arena once again ushered in a warm scene.

Tonight was the Hawks' home game against the Salt Lake City Jazz, and before the game began, owner Price read an affectionate thank you to Boozer, and framed the No. 5 Hawks home jersey that Boozer had worn before, and gave Boozer an identical framed jersey in the Hawks' honor exhibition room.

It is impossible to retire the jersey, and Rahim's jersey is treated in the same way as Boozer, getting the glory of the jersey entering the honor exhibition room.

The standard of the Eagles' retired jerseys is still very high, and several players who have retired their jerseys are Pete Maravich, Bob Petit, Lou Hudson, and then gone, and there is a No. 17 jersey to commemorate a great man Ted Turner, and other jerseys such as Moses Malone, who played for the Eagles, have not been retired, although the Eagles team history is not glorious, but the jersey retirement standard is still very high.

After enjoying the cheers of the home fans who were once home to the game, Boozer's most glorious moment came.

The championship ring is awarded!

Liu Mang was supposed to give Boozer a championship ring, but Stockton wanted to give Boozer a championship ring, so the two went together.

Liu Mang took the box containing the championship ring from his boss Price, opened it, put the box in the palm of his hand, and held it with his right hand in the direction of opening the box towards Stockton, who took out the championship ring and put it on Boozer's index finger.

Sloan was silent when he saw this scene, and Malone wanted to cry when he saw it......

Malone was more envious than the Hawks and Raheem in the season opener, and even a little jealous at this moment, mainly because Boozer was the one who went to Salt Lake City to take his place.

Malone thought that he had worked hard for 19 years, and it was better to succeed Boozer for two years, and Boozer would be able to get what he had been pursuing for 19 years.

People are really more angry than people, the key is that Boozer is already negotiating with the Jazz team about the maximum 6-year 84 million contract extension that can be reached after this season, because he was selected by the Hawks as a first-round pick in this time and space, after the first three years of the contract, he can get the maximum salary to renew the contract in advance, Schwartz is negotiating with the Jazz team, and it is very likely to get a contract between 6 years and 70 million to 80 million.

Thinking of this, Malone thought that he had played for 19 years and just earned 100 million, and Boozer was only 23 years old, definitely not only earning 100 million, but also champions and money...... Malone was even more congested......

……

……

After the heartwarming picture is over, it's time for a game where there is no camaraderie to talk about.

Now the Hawks are 15-4 and still the first in the East, the Pistons are 15-5, and Ben Wallace's ban has been reduced to 7 games because of the Pistons' application, but the Pistons are still in a situation where they are understaffed at the center position, and they are still playing very well, but they are not as stable as they were at the beginning of the season.

The Suns, for their part, also lost, 16-4, half a win ahead of the Hawks.

That is, the first to third in the league, the largest difference is only 1 win.

Who doesn't want to be number one in the league?

Eagles fans wanted it, so ...... Let's hold up the sign first!

After Maddie watched the championship ring award again with envy, he was full of fighting spirit and wanted to overturn the Jazz team, go up to shoot hot hands, Maddie began to make the final preparations before the game began, glanced at the fans at the scene, and Maddie was speechless for a moment.

“Next， Tracey”

“e-need-58-points”

Most of the signs with these two contents are also written on cardboard, white paper, and so on.

The fans at the scene are probably divided into two ideas, one is to look forward to Maddie and Liu Mang.

One is to hope that Liu Mang will come by himself, and no one else will break the 57 points, so Liu Mang will come by himself.

Maddie smiled, he didn't come.

Liu Mang has been 50+ in three consecutive games, and the most surprising thing may be him, because he is the highest scoring champion per game since Jordan, but he only has 32 points, and Liu Mang has averaged 36 points per game, which looks as exaggerated as Jordan's performance in the third grade.

Maddie was shocked by Liu Mang's performance, and he asked himself...... may be able to do it, but it's just a hope, he is not Liu Mang, he can't get Liu Mang's team status, and it is unlikely that he will change to any team, and it is impossible to meet a person like himself to pass the ball to him.

Liu Mang's side, seeing that there are 58 everywhere, it's a bit weird......

……

At the end of the pre-match preparation time, the lights dimmed.

Boozer was shocked when he saw Rashid Wallace's celestial roar.

"The guys who were our opponents at the beginning are all in this situation now?" Boozer has a feeling deep inside that the Eagles can't be beaten, and of course, the same team that was there last season.

Boozer came to the sidelines to smear magnesium powder, and Liu Mang also came to the sidelines to smear magnesium powder.

Seeing Boozer, Liu Mang subconsciously went up and punched his chest with a small fist, and Boozer also subconsciously hugged Liu Mang......

When the two saw each other's jerseys after hugging, they both reacted at once, looked at each other and smiled, probably, this was the last time they hugged!

Grabbing a handful of magnesium powder and scattering it into the air, Liu Mang walked up to the field and looked at Boozer's ability evaluation.

Carlos Boozer, Ability Rating 88, Offense 92, Defense 70, Three-Point Shot 60, Shooting 86, Layup 92, Speed 79, Power 92, Rebounds 95......

It's so strong......

Liu Mang saw Boozer's ability evaluation, and it was so heartbroken!

Thinking of this, Liu Mang glared at Iguodala on the bench next to him, and he used Boozer as a bargaining chip for this guy.

Iguodala was watching the scene of Liu Mang and Boozer hugging, and wondered if he would establish such a teammate with Liu Mang one day, but suddenly Liu Mang glared at him, and Iguodala was confused.

What's wrong with the boss?

However, Liu Mang also knows that if Boozer stays in the Eagles, his strength will not be shown, and Rasheed Wallace's role in the Eagles is still stronger than Boozer, with a large range, good defense, and fast speed, which Boozer can't match.

In this way, Boozer stayed to play as a substitute, but it delayed Boozer, in the Hawks, Boozer will definitely not get the top salary, and it will delay Boozer's progress, Rasheed Wallace just came to the Hawks to help the Eagles win the championship, it is impossible to unload the donkey, and it is impossible to let Rasheed Wallace play as a substitute, at this stage, Boozer is still inferior to Rasheed Wallace.

Of course, Boozer's departure made the Eagles' ability to score on the inside low, and it also created a lot of trouble for the Eagles, playing small ball to avoid the shortcomings of the lack of independent scoring ability on the inside.

Originally, Liu Mang thought that he could invite Ma Long to play for another year, but Ma Long would rather have a job as a trainer so that he would not be idle and not continue to play.

Coming to the Eagles as a trainer, he can accept it, after all, after many players retire, they get worse and worse, Malone wants to find a job in the industry he likes, and being a trainer is also a basketball career, so he came.

But play with the Hawks, who had just beaten him in the Finals...... This...... He's not so shameless.

……

The game against the Jazz began immediately, and players from both teams took to the court.

The lineup sent by the Hawks side is Liu Mang, Maddy, Prince, Rashid Wallace, and Kwame Brown.

On the Jazz side, it looks really good, Arroyo, Kirisek, Matt Haplin, Kirilenko, Boozer.

The Jazz lineup, all five people look good, the outside trio is high-quality orange players, and the interior duo has a defensive core and an offensive core......

But this lineup doesn't have to play at all!

Kwame Brown and Boozer stood together, and Boozer looked at Kwame Brown's explosive muscles speechlessly.

After the referee threw the ball into the air, Kwame Brown almost won the jump ball with a small arm advantage, Bouzer didn't even think about turning back to the defense immediately, he just jumped the ball almost like a stepping foot.

After receiving the ball, Liu Mang immediately passed it to Maddie and ran forward by himself.

Maddie was just about to break through and prepare to pass the ball to his teammates, and Liu Mang didn't say that he wanted to score points in this second-to-last game in the West, and Maddie was still ready to follow tactics and plan the whole team to score.

Just as Maddie received the ball, the cheers of the fans came.

“Tracey…… Tracey…… Tracey……”

Liu Mang almost tripped over his own foot when he rushed to the frontcourt.

These fans, what does it mean that he will not understand?

Are these fans biological? Master is your greatest player! I still want to make the master's Pippen "usurpation"!

Maddie heard this cheer, and if she didn't play, she couldn't do it, and saw that Rashid Wallace and Kwame Brown had already entered the interior line, and Maddie pulled out a three-point shot!

"Bang ......"

It's a little embarrassing.

Fortunately, it was Rashid Wallace who blocked Boozer, and Kwame Brown rushed in just to grab the offensive rebound, and then passed to Maddy, who received the ball and shot again with a three-pointer......

"Bang ......"

This time, Boozer desperately squeezed Kwame Brown to grab the defensive rebound.

After Boozer went to the Jazz, his rebounding ability immediately showed, although he was only two meters and six, his rebounding ability was so strong that he could beep!

However, it is useless for Boozer to be strong alone, after Arroyo dribbled past half court, he confidently broke through and forced to throw iron, and the rebound was not grabbed by Boozer this time and was won by Kwame Brown.

Liu Mang rushed directly to the front court, Maddie received the ball and made a long pass to Liu Mang, and only Matt Harprin followed Liu Mang back to the basket, Liu Mang received the ball and turned to the basket to score two points.

Playing the Jazz, it's too easy.

Soon the Hawks went on a 14-4 run, and the margin stretched to 10 points before the Jazz called a timeout.

The Eagles also made substitutions, and when the Eagles announced today's 12-man squad in the morning, Liu Mang was surprised because Korver and Vallejo were thrown into the Development League, and Tony Allen and Ariza were put in the squad.

After calling a timeout, Prince was substituted and replaced by Ariza.

Liu Mang seemed to see something, but he didn't say that it was not bad for Prince to take a break when he played such a weak team.

Maddie seemed to have received some instructions, after Ariza came on the court, Maddie's first choice was to pass the ball to Liu Mang, and the second choice was to pass the ball to Ariza.

The Jazz wanted a high draft pick too much, and they were more eager to help the Hawks mess up last season, losing if they could, giving the Hawks a chance to practice.

Liu Mang played relatively normal, 9 points in the first quarter, 11 points in the second quarter, and 14 points in the third quarter, stretching the difference to 26 points in one fell swoop, Liu Mang scored 34 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists in the third quarter, and clocked out in the third quarter.

Maddy had 12 points, 9 assists and 4 rebounds in the third quarter and was also replaced.

The Eagles are going to take advantage of the bad team to hone their newcomers.

However, in addition to Maddie and Liu Mang, there is another person who allowed the Hawks to have such a stable lead of 26 points in the third quarter, Kwame Brown, who grabbed rebounds today!

The height advantage is too obvious, Boozer grabs rebounds very well, but he can't stand the absence of a center to get stuck with him! He and Rasheed Wallace are tired enough, and there is a Kwame Brown on the other side, and Kirilenko's average of six rebounds per game is already great, but Kwame Brown is averaging 11.6 rebounds per game...... It's almost twice as bad.

Kwame Brown relied on Rashid Wallace to block and grabbed 21 rebounds in the third quarter! 9 points and 21 rebounds in the third quarter, quite a rebounding idiot.

But because the hand is slippery...... Missed 3 opportunities to directly grab the offensive rebound and dunk, and when I was replaced, my heart was broken, and I was one point away from another 20+10!

After the main players came off the field, Tony Allen replaced Liu Mang on the field, and Jason Terry brought Tony Allen, Ariza, Josh Smith and Muhammad to play.

Tony Allen came up and relied on his explosive physical fitness to rush to the basket and dunk, which was his first appearance in the NBA regular season, and Ariza was the same, and the two were very active.

Liu Mang asked Coach Kruger: "Why are you calling them back from the Development League?" They're not as good as Keller."

"Screening the people who stayed, Keller needs playing time now, and he can go to the development league to practice more." Coach Kruger replied: "Ace, do you have any suggestions for the center forward position?" ”

Screening the ones that remained? That is, to trade?

Who's better to trade? After thinking about it, now that the older generation of players are leaving the NBA one after another, the Mesozoic players are the core of each team, the center is slow to become talented, the young center is unreliable, and Kwame Brown is the most reliable one.

Liu Mang couldn't think of which one was good for a while, and felt that it was good to have time to think slowly when he went back, or to see who was good when he played away, so he suggested suggestions.

Liu Mang was ready to think about it, but Coach Kruger looked at Liu Mang with anticipatory eyes, as if he was expecting Liu Mang to immediately give a choice that could change the weakness of insufficient tonnage and weak independent offensive ability.

Coach Kruger's 'I'm optimistic about you' look made Liu Mang embarrassed to say that he hadn't thought of it yet, and said casually: "Tim Duncan!" ”

"Get out!"
