Liu Mang has obviously strengthened his personal offensive desire today, in the first three games, Liu Mang chose to pass the ball more, but today he chose to shoot more by himself.

The Hornets also gave face, trying to maintain a strong team posture until the end, and Hornets head coach Tim Fried made adjustments every time the Hawks almost completely opened up the difference.

The Hornets' three outside lines are really strong, and they respond positively after each adjustment, Baron Davis roars, he still comes up once or twice to contain the Hawks' defense, and then Mashburn and David Wesley do a wave.

But after the Hawks' defense tightened up, the Hornets could only barely keep the point difference from being widened, and when the Hornets' three outside lines went down one or two, the Hawks' rotation lineup was powerful.

Liu Mang and Barang Davis have similar strength, but Liu Mang has a better brain, and he plays well, he is not afraid of confrontation when he is sudden, and he is not afraid of confrontation when he is thin, not to mention that he is now a first-class confrontation among point guards, and Francis, Barlang Davis, etc., and Marbury is not at a loss.

The main thing is that having strong teammates means that you can do whatever you want! Liu Mang completely suppressed Barang Davis on the court, and in the fourth quarter, the Hornets couldn't hold back, and the Hawks re-sent the starting lineup, and the Hornets' three outside lines had been playing in the first three quarters, and in the fourth quarter, the Hawks opened up the difference in one fell swoop, and when the official timeout reached the fourth quarter, the Hawks won 89-67 and stretched the difference to 22 points.

The Hornets had no way to announce their surrender, with only 5 minutes left and 22 points to chase, which was basically impossible.

In the end, the Hawks defeated the Hornets 101-84 to win four in a row.

Liu Mang played 33 minutes, shooting 13 of 26, 3 of 6 three-pointers, 8 of 10 free throws, and got 37 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists!

Barang Davis shot 8 of 22, although he made 3 three-pointers, but he made 11 three-point shots, the most important thing is that he only caused two fouls in the whole game after playing 41 minutes, and only hit twice, and he was blind to such a strong body, in addition to assists, scoring and rebounds were crushed by Liu Mang, and got 21 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists.

Liu Mang won the battle against Barang Davis!

……

After playing the Hornets, the Hawks rushed to Seattle overnight, and at 7 p.m. the next night, they played back-to-back games against the SuperSonics.

The SuperSonics just past summer, with the new version of the three musketeers everywhere to talk to the top point guards, and then without a star bird them, Kidd didn't even go to the Spurs, will leave the team that just reached the Finals for two years in a row to go to a non-playoff team with an uncertain future? Even Kassel looked down on them and went to get tired of the wolf king.

Not to mention these two top free agent point guards, they didn't even get a starter-level point guard, and finally only signed the former Spurs backup point guard Antonio Daniels, the 97-year-old parallel No. 4 pick, and spent 5 years full middle class, otherwise people are not rare, and they want to go back to the Spurs to hug the thigh of Duncan, the big brother of the same year, and then win the championship, and they don't care at all about the fact that he was traded by the Spurs in the summer of 02 and missed out on winning last season's championship.

So, the SuperSonics can only point to Brent Barry to organize the offense, Brent Barry was not a point guard, but he has been forced to become a point guard in the past two years, and Brent Barry, who has been on the shelf, has averaged a career-high five assists per game since last season, but has 2.4 turnovers, and the assist-to-turnover ratio is almost 2 to 1, that is, if he sends two assists, he has to return one turnover.

Ray Allen, who had already planned to go all out as a pitcher, also picked up the work of organizing the offense again after the failure to bring in a good point guard, and he was even worse than Brent Barry, averaging 4 assists and 2.8 turnovers per game.

It's no wonder that Ray Allen has degraded the offense, after arriving at the SuperSonics last season, it was the SuperSonics management and head coach McMillan who made him determined to transform completely, and he was also very confident that he could at least attract Cassel in the summer, after all, he was a teammate for many years, so he didn't develop in the direction of omnipotence, he practiced running and three-pointers, who knew that none of the star point guards he was looking forward to came, plus he had begun to transform into a pitcher since he partnered with Cassel a few years ago, and it was too difficult to pick it up again now.

What hurts the SuperSonics the most is that they advertise a promising big forward, and Radmanovic is regarded by the team as one of the new three musketeers, and he has not played well this year as well as last season, starting so far, throwing an average of five or six three-pointers per game, but only scoring one three-pointer in four games combined, which is not at all alone with the big man who looked promising last season, and the talented pitcher who shot 42 percent from three-point range in his rookie season.

For the SuperSonics, when they sent a lineup of Barry, Ray Allen, Lewis, and Radmanovic, the rebounders were sad and tearful, the defensive rebounds could still rely on the card position, and the offensive rebounds were basically equal to nothing, and in the past four games, the rebounding king was Lewis, who averaged 5.5 rebounds per game......

Although the Hawks are back-to-back, Ratleaf and Stockton don't play, they don't have the physical problems of last season's back-to-back, and the depth of the squad is too strong.

The main thing is Liu Mang's point, he does not have the problem of lack of physical strength, when other teammates do not have a physical crisis and can play the same role as usual, Liu Mang can play the same role as usual, anti-supersonic team, which basically has no interior offense, although Kwame Brown is still young, but his interior role is the same as the effect of Ratliffe, or even better, he can prevent blocking and dismantling.

Ray Allen and Lewis shot hard, these two are really accurate, Ray Allen scored 33 points on 5 of 9 three-pointers, Lewis scored 32 points on 4 of 9 three-pointers, and the two scored 65 points together, but the others were so iron that people couldn't help but watch, a team with such a fast supersonic rhythm threw more than 90 shots in this game, and the others only scored 25 points combined.

The Hawks are also willing to run and play, to avoid the feeling problem of back-to-back impact, constantly impacting the basket, and under the leadership of Liu Mang, the Hawks and the supersonic launched an offensive battle, defending the inside line to let the supersonic shoot on the outside, and at the same time giving the supersonic outside a lot of defensive pressure.

In the end, under the leadership of Liu Mang, the Eagles won five consecutive victories with a 103-90 victory over the supersonics.

Liu Mang's shooting rate is so high today, whether it is Ray Allen or Barry, they are not particularly good defensive players, Liu Mang shot a super high shooting rate of 14 of 19 shots, got 35 points and 9 assists, almost 30+10, but got 30+ for the second game in a row!

……

After the Hawks won five in a row, the road trip continued, and on November 10, they came to Chicago to take on the Bulls on the road.

The Bulls, of course, have to be bad, getting the god of basketball consumed their luck for decades, and the 02 Bangyan Show said that it was gone.

Although Kirk Hinrich, a powerful point guard in college, was selected in the 03 generation, he was not as powerful as he imagined.

Although it is not as watery as their rookie show last season, it is not much stronger, Hinrich is very steady, not like a rookie, but the Bulls are not a championship team, not even a playoff-level team, Hinrich is stable at one point, one point can be defended, no fart is used, everyone else is a defensive sieve, and the only defensive center Tyson Chandler is still operating before the start of the season and will not come back until at least March.

In today's game, Hinrich did a good job of restricting Liu Mang, and prevented Liu Mang from shooting 13 of 33, but others couldn't prevent it at all, and they couldn't grab the rebound.

Liu Mang also shot happily, no matter how well he defended himself, he would wave it, and his own rebounding exploded today!

After Kwame Brown came off the bench, Kwame Brown played the best game of his career so far against Eddie Curry, an old rival from high school who had mocked him so badly two years ago.

Since the official timeout in the first quarter, Ratliff has not been replaced, because Kwame Brown got 8 rebounds in the last five minutes of the first quarter, and Liu Manglang's average shots were all assisted by Kwame Brown.

Kwame Brown grabbed so well, Liu Mang played even more waves, threw 33 times in 31 minutes of playing time, made 6 of 15 three-pointers, and got 40 points, 4 assists and 2 rebounds, 40 points for the first time this season!

Kwame Brown came off the bench and played 39 minutes, scoring 22 points and 20 rebounds for the first time in his career, and also grabbed offensive rebounds and passed to Liu Mang and Jason Terry for 6 assists, gave Eddie Curry three blocks, 22 points, 20 boards, 6 assists and 3 blocks.

After entering the NBA, Kwame Brown had the advantage against his old teammate Eddie Curry for the first time!

Because Kwame Brown is so positive, the Hawks didn't have much grudge against the Bulls, and even the only one who made Liu Mang unhappy Jay Williams was gone, and the Hawks wanted to easily beat each other, but the grudge between Kwame Brown and Eddie Curry has continued from high school to the present, since it is the feud of teammates, of course, they have to fight for face, and the offensive end feels average, and the whole team plays with life-threatening defense.

As a result, the Bulls suffered a bloody massacre of 42 points at home 57-99!

Six wins in a row!

The Eagles got off to a ferocious start!

It just so happened that the Pacers and the Timberwolves both lost today, and the records of both teams became 6-1, and American fans were surprised to find that the Hawks, who they didn't pay much attention to before, actually climbed to the top of the league!
