As a perennially bottom-ranked team, the Warriors don't have the courage of the Warriors to play the Hawks.

However, they also want to win!

They started the year very well, although they are only in tenth place in the West with 6 wins and 6 losses for the time being, but they are not out of chance, and they are only two wins away from fifth, and they have only played one-eighth of the season, everything is possible.

The NBA, for those who love basketball, is a dream stage.

The Warriors players also want to use their own hands to achieve their dreams.

If they can beat the Hawks and end their eight-game winning streak, it will undoubtedly be a good confidence boost for them.

Confidence is not given by others, but earned by one's own efforts, and the Warriors, who are dominated by young players, know this very well.

If you have the opportunity, you have to take advantage of it!

The Warriors are also down, and it may be another peak season in the West, the top 11 in the West have a 50% win rate so far, compared to only 50% of the teams in the East, the Warriors have no other adjectives except bad luck.

On November 18, the Hawks met the Warriors for the first time of the season.

Liu Mang looked at his own side on the big screen with 8 wins and 0 losses, and only played eight games, and he always felt weird.

The other side has played 12 games!

However, with two days of sufficient preparation time, Liu Mang and Stockton learned some ways to organize the offense, and learned a lot about the running tendencies of their teammates such as Maddy, Iguodala, Calderon, and Josh Smith, and were ready to start organizing the offense.

The pre-game preparation activities were over, and Liu Mang went to the Warriors to greet the opposing players.

The bearded Baron Davis, a former player in the East, is now traveling west, and coming to the Warriors has given the Warriors a playmaking core and playoff strength.

The two are not acquainted, nor are they mortal enemies, they are just in the same point guard position, and they don't play much, Balang Davis during the Hornets period can play one game a year with Liu Mang, Balang Davis is injured every year, say hello politely, and the two teams have no grudges, which is still polite.

Jason Richardson and Liu Mang have a good relationship, and the friendship between working together in the second grade in their rookie season is still there.

Maddie also went to say hello to Fayer, the two are rookies in the same class, next to each other, Foyer's No. 8 show, Maddie's No. 9 show, the relationship between the two has been good since the trial, Maddie chose to participate in the draft in advance after McDonald's All-Star beat Lamar Odom became famous, and the pick was predicted in the lottery area, which was similar to Foyer's prediction order, and the trial after the two was almost the same line, and sure enough, the final selected pick was about the same.

Liu Mang greeted Barang Davis in passing, and after saying hello, he came to Monta Ellis, who was practicing shooting alone.

Seeing Monta Ellis, Liu Mang felt in a good mood, in the original time and space, Liu Mang's favorite player, ranked second, was Monta Ellis, especially now that he is also a second-round pick, he has a better impression of Monta Ellis, a rookie who is about the same height as himself and seems to have a similar playing style.

However, Monta-Ellis has a really unpleasant face, a pointed face, and an expression like a bitter melon, just turned 20 last month, was selected with the tenth pick in the second round, and so far this season, he has not had a chance to play, but he is still training hard.

Ellis hit a three-pointer and bounced back, and was about to jump up to catch it, when a guy who jumped higher grabbed the ball with one hand.

Ellis looked at the player wearing a jersey that was not his own team, the MVP opposite!

Liu Mang grabbed the ball, stepped back and raised his hand to throw a sniper out, and hit it hollow.

Ellis looked at Liu Mang's soft three-point and felt too envious...... It's just that...... It's ugly......

"Hi, Monta." Liu Mang greeted Ellis.

"You...... Hello, Ace. "Ellis personality...... It's cold, maybe it's withdrawn.

But at this time, Ellis felt too incredible in his heart, and the other party actually took the initiative to greet him, but his slightly withdrawn personality made him seem very cold.

Liu Mang didn't expect the other party to be so cold, and he was ready to point out the other party as a senior, now, it's a little embarrassing!

But since they are all here, Liu Mang still stubbornly said: "It doesn't matter if the rank is lower, my rank is lower than yours, maybe you will become the best scoring guard in the future." ”

Ellis was very excited to hear this, yes, the top three players in the league came to encourage him, but he said with some confusion: "Shooting guard? I'm a point guard! ”

Point guard? Just kidding! Liu Mang rolled his eyes and said: "What point guard do you play, play point guard, just shoot, don't waste your speed and feel." ”

The Warriors players next to him didn't have any ill feelings towards Liu Mang, the relationship between the two teams was not good or bad, Liu Mang came over to say hello to the team's boss Barang Davis, which was considered to be a face, and he didn't say anything when he saw Liu Mang shooting in their half.

But when Liu Mang said this, Barang-Davis couldn't bear it anymore, and came up to drive Liu Mang away: "Ace, don't teach bad children!" ”

Liu Mang smiled, didn't continue to say anything, and turned around and went back to his own half.

Monta Ellis, the non-scoring Ellis, is still the second-highest scoring guard in the West!

……

With a roar from Rashid Wallace, Liu Mang sprinkled magnesium powder into the air, and the fans who had not watched a home game for nearly half a month were suddenly ignited.

"Ding...... The Hawks devils triggered at home, the Warriors morale was suppressed, and the Hawks morale was boosted, from Rashid Wallace and Phillips Arena fans. ”

The Warriors players felt the Hawks' home atmosphere and felt oppressive.

But they want to win today! Winning the Hawks might be better than beating the Mavericks and Suns, because just the thought of beating the Hawks is already better than beating the Mavericks and the Suns.

The Warriors fielded a starting lineup of Baron Davis, Jason Richardson, Mike Dunleavy, Troy Murphy, Adonal Foyer.

The Hawks fielded a starting lineup of Liu Mang, Maddy, Prince, Rashid Wallace, and Kwame Brown.

There is no suspense in the jump ball, although Foyer is also a player with excellent physical fitness, but Foyer, who only participated in the draft at the age of 22, is now 30 years old and entered the NBA in the same year as Maddy, but Maddie is now 26 and a half years old, and Foyer will be 31 years old in March next year.

Kwame Brown won the jump ball with ease, continuing the interrupted jump ball victory.

Liu Mang received the ball and quickly advanced towards the front court.

Barang Davis was very surprised, Liu Mang actually advanced with the ball at the beginning, but Barang Davis had a good sense of defense, don't look at his body so strong, but his speed was first-class, and he kept up with Liu Mang's footsteps.

Liu Mang didn't play a fast attack, nor was he in a hurry, he protected the ball, and Barang Davis's steal was very powerful.

Liu Mang advanced to the top arc, and after his teammates fell into position, Liu Mang took a step back and accelerated violently!

"Ding...... The strongest first step triggers ......"

Liu Mang's speed skyrocketed and broke through from the right side.

Barang Davis made full preparations for this game, and when he saw Liu Mang take a step back, he knew that Liu Mang was going to break through, so he quickly pasted it, but he still didn't stick it!

However, Barang Davis did not stick to it and was not discouraged, and followed closely behind Liu Mang, Liu Mang reached the right side of the three-second zone, and Foyer decisively made up the defense.

Foyer ignored Kwame Brown under the basket, in his opinion, Liu Mang will definitely shoot the ball by himself, and if he doesn't score, Kwame Brown grabs the rebound for a second offense, so Foyer is very decisive, and when Liu Mang's breakthrough is made in front of the action, Foyer is ready to help defend the pinch first, and then turn around and rush to grab the rebound.

However, Liu Mang jumped up on the right side of the three-second zone as expected by Foyer, and also lifted the ball, but Liu Mang shook his wrist after lifting the ball and threw it out under the basket, and Kwame Brown cut in from the left side of the three-second zone and received the ball with both hands to pour the basket!

Foyer's judgment was wrong!

The Warriors are not a team with good defense, Foyer directly let go of Kwame Brown to defend Liu Mang, in the eyes of others, this kind of move is too uncalm, the Warriors don't have much good defense, and the teams that don't change defense well should defend their respective areas.

However, Foyer didn't expect that Liu Mang would usually vote for this kind of "help board opportunity", but he didn't vote!

Originally, Foyer wanted to play a little clever, but he didn't expect to become a second fool!

Kwame Brown is so excited, so excited!

Finally, it's time to eat the cake directly!

In the past, I used to eat cakes fed by Maddie, Iguodala, Calderón and others, but this time I finally ate the cakes fed by the boss, and it felt extraordinarily fragrant.

Coach Kruger saw Liu Mang on the sidelines that he didn't shoot his usual "chance ball", and covered his head in pain, this kid is really playing!

In the past two days, Coach Kruger has discussed many times with Stockton, Chip England and Maddy, and Liu Mang's statement about the feasibility of involving the whole team in the offensive style of play has not yet been discussed.

The whole team participates in the offense, and the previous role players participate in the offense, the concept is still very different, the role players participate in the offense, mainly to serve Liu Mang, and now Liu Mang has begun to pass the ball for his teammates, the difference is very big, and the team's playing style may have a huge change.

But if it succeeds, then one of the team's hidden dangers will be eliminated.

This hidden danger is that the current tactics of the Eagles may be thoroughly studied by those main opponents, if there is a different style of play, especially Liu Mang's 180-degree style of play, then for the opponent, it is a new opponent.

The Hawks also have things to do to "pass the regular season."

Maddie revealed the reason why Liu Mang wanted to change to Coach Kruger, although Coach Kruger is also the head coach who has defended the title once, but his NBA career is the same as Liu Mang, he has only 5 years and has no experience of three consecutive championships.

But it's not easy!

Coach Kruger decided to look at Liu Mang's performance in this game before drawing conclusions.
