The game against the Spurs was too limited to play fast-break, but fortunately, it was a good positional battle for the Hawks.

After Liu Mang came up, Ginobili became the defender of him, abusing rookies and rookies who became famous in international competitions, which felt good.

Liu Mang had the ball in the fourth quarter and could finally play well.

But in the first three quarters, because of the big dog's domineering behavior, Liu Mang didn't shoot much, and now he can't shoot accurately, the opponent's interior defense is strong, and it's not too difficult to get past Ginobili, Ginobili's defense is at the middle level, and the defense of ordinary players is good, and it won't become a loophole in the Spurs' defensive system like Parker, and he doesn't need others to wipe his ass, but he can't do better.

So Liu Mang had a very good time with Ginobili, but after trying twice to retreat and miss the jumper, Ginobili's ball quotient was extremely high, and he chose to shrink at the first time, and Liu Mang withered.

Jason Terry is already going crazy with rage, and Nima is really the rookie right! This guy is a dead bastard!

When Jason Terry is irrational, sometimes he is good, he travels for nine days in class, and sometimes he is like a big dog, and he can be a turtle in the river.

Raheem is the focus of the opponent's defense, and when Liu Mang can't shoot correctly from the outside, and Jason Terry doesn't feel good with the ball, Raheem is miserable.

Ginobili was struggled by Liu Mang a few times, but fortunately, Liu Mang couldn't steal it accurately today, otherwise it is estimated that he will have the same psychological shadow as Parker and Stephen Jackson.

Although the Spurs' offense was also poor, focusing on defense in the final quarter, and only scored 17 points on the offensive end, the Hawks only scored 18 points on a desperate shot.

In the end, in the disbelief of the fans at the scene and in front of the TV, the Hawks were almost helpless in the face of the Spurs! 83 to 88, although the Eagles only lost by 5 points, but, judging from the scene, the Eagles didn't even have a chance to struggle, and they were pressed for a whole game!

……

The Eagles opener was guarded like that, which is unbelievable for a team that has 4 teams that averaged 20+ per game last season!

But that's not all, losing to the Spurs is just the beginning, and then facing the Pistons, Nets, Mavericks, Suns, four consecutive home games, the Hawks lost all!

Even the sun lost!

There's no difference between the script and playing the Spurs, Glenn Robinson digs holes, the rest of the Hawks fill in the holes, but at best they barely keep up with their opponents, and when Glenn Robinson wants to score again, they start digging holes again.

By the time Glenn Robinson scored 20 points and was ready to clock out, the Hawks had fallen behind by a large score, and finally filled the hole again and couldn't fill the sinkhole!

Even the sun lost!

The Eagles are in dire straits, with the media offering advice, ridicule, schadenfreude, and fans as well.

After the first game, the Hawks regretted the loss, and Glenn Robinson was seen as the key to the loss.

But he was considered to be too eager to show himself, and no one sprayed him because he played well in the preseason.

But the Hawks started the next wave with five straight losses.

Sometimes, the evaluation of a person is just a few games, like an avalanche.

Fans are at a loss why all of a sudden Glenn Robinson is playing so badly, isn't it a good start?

But then it's like a black hole!

The first one was an accident, but what about two, three?

It's been five!

In the next two games, the Hawks met the Heat and the Cavaliers, two bad armies, and the Hawks really won these two games with a few blind fights.

Well, even if it's five straight defeats, but that's five All-Star combinations!

However, in the second half of November, the Hawks lost back-to-back losses to the Celtics, Wizards, and SuperSonics...... Or even ...... Bulls, a wave of seven consecutive defeats is simply incredible! The bulls are all lost! This is the king of rotten swings for four consecutive years!

However, not only Hawks fans still retain a trace of expectation, but there are also people in the media who think that it is just a run-in problem, five consecutive defeats are said to be a lot less, but more is really not much, the Lakers did not suffer five consecutive defeats last season when Kobe Bryant and O'Neal were absent, and seven consecutive defeats are not much.

Even Liu Mang still retains a little bit of thought, and wants to discuss it with the big dog in private, to see if he can influence this lost young man by relying on the charm of his language and the power of the head of state.

Liu Mang understands why Kassel is so strong, Ray Allen is so strong, they are all All-Star players, or in the East, they can't make the playoffs, and as soon as they send the big dog away, they will immediately enter the playoffs in the second season.

Liu Mang felt that he needed to have a good exchange with Glenn Robinson.

As a result, Liu Mang overestimated his influence, and his influence was only as high as the team when Jason Terry and Raheem both supported him, except for the three rookies who just came, the others served the combination of three young people, not Liu Mang alone.

Liu Mang was talking to Glenn Robinson privately for the first time, and Glenn Robin only replied: "Little ghost, it's not your turn to point fingers at me." ”

Liu Mang is at a loss, is there really a player who has a tumor to such a point? More than he knew! He thinks the most poisonous is the little blacksmith! Now I find that the little blacksmith is as pure as a yellow flower girl, as pure as milk tea......

Liu Mang finally couldn't help it, and he didn't want to drag Jason Terry and Rahim down to leave a reputation for forcing the palace to the outside world, he didn't care about reputation, and the reputation of his teammates was still very important.

Liu Mang approached Coach Kruger and asked to trade Glenn Robinson, but Coach Kruger went to discuss with the boss but to no avail.

Steven Price has been crying a few times lately, a big man, who was touted by the media and fans when the deal went through, and became the favorite for the best manager in the preseason.

But, in just one month, falling from heaven to below, Steven Price is going to cry.

But he still retains a little fantasy, what if it's just a bad start? How good the big dog played in the preseason!

It turns out that pie-in-the-sky things are beautiful, and sometimes everything is just a flash in the pan.

In fact, many people who have come to their senses, such as Liu Mang and others, feel that this is not even a flash in the pan, just a few preseason games, who of their brothers can't play this kind of data or what?

The main thing is that the media is touting it too much.

Now it's a good thing, the Hawks started with five consecutive losses, 2-12 in November, Glenn Robinson came up to dig the hole, and others couldn't fill the hole, and the two games won were still the three Hawks chasing points in the final quarter, and the reversal was still a bad team like the Heat and the Cavaliers.

However, the owner still retains his illusions, and Coach Kruger has no choice but to send Glenn Robinson to the starting lineup in early December.

As a result, the Hawks just won a game against the Warriors in early December, followed by another wave of 4 consecutive losses, that is, the opening 19 games, 3 wins and 16 losses!

Coach Krueger decided that he didn't care what the boss thought, and there was a kind of firing this coach, and the job of the head coach of Georgia Tech was much easier than this! How can there be such a player!

Just when Coach Kruger decided to hide Glenn Robinson, at this time, Liu Mang found a glimmer of life in despair.

Liu Mang understands that the big dog is dead and difficult to change! There is no way to communicate, and he doesn't dare to be scolded by the outside world, he doesn't care, as long as he has good data, he thinks that he can get a big contract in this way.

IQ is really important, Liu Mang was informed by Coach Kruger that his boss should wait, maybe it was not good to run-in, and after the news that he would not trade for the time being, he was desperate when he returned home.

But if you don't explode in despair, you will fall in despair, Liu Mang has a flash of inspiration!

Early the next morning, Liu Mang asked Coach Kruger out without discussing it with the team to avoid having ears on the wall.

Rahim, Jason Terry, Mohammed, and Ratliff all made an appointment and found a place to close the door and talk.

Liu Mang no longer has any good feelings for Glenn Robinson, and his suggestions frightened the core figures of the Eagles, and once again affirmed his thoughts: never offend this dish...... Second grader guy!

Liu Mang's encounter is bad, you have to support him, let him become a big shabi, it's better to let go of the ball, let Glenn Robinson play with the data, the first three quarters let him love how to brush how to brush, he has lost so many games, I don't care about these games, let Glenn Robinson always have data, and more data than usual, everyone plays around him, if he still loses, it proves that this "new boss" is not good.

Then Liu Mang went to the boss himself and let the boss choose one of the two!

In fact, Liu Mang can go directly to the boss, but first, he doesn't give the boss face, and the boss still has a trace of illusion, which everyone can see, the relationship can't be so stiff, although Steven Price has average ability, the heir of the family business, that's it, but he is generally good to the players, and he has a good relationship with Liu Mang.

The second is where can Glenn Robinson send this kind of Glenn Robinson?

Glenn Robinson's rottenness, everyone can see it, only Steven Price is still expecting, that is, the trade is likely to only be exchanged for another garbage contract, which is not good for the team's future.

But if you want to reverse the impression that Glenn Robinson is rotten to the end, Glenn Robinson has to play hard, not only that, but I don't want to clock in and out of work every day, but if Glenn Robinson has such a good mentality, he still needs to trade?

Therefore, Glenn Robinson's rotten can't be reversed, it can only make his data better, so that other teams feel that he has the strength, but he is "again" in a team that is not suitable for him, so that people have a player who can still be expected as long as he can manage it well, after all, he is only 29 years old and is at his peak, and his contract is not large, more than 9 million a year.

……

So, Glenn Robinson was very surprised next, and the Hawks players all said that they didn't do well, didn't defend well, didn't do a good job, didn't make opportunities for their teammates, and took the initiative to take responsibility and take the blame.

Then in the game, the whole Hawks served Glenn Robinson, giving Glenn Robinson countless shots, everyone helped him block and help him pull away from the defense, and the first goal of others to attack with the ball was to pass the ball to Glenn Robinson.

Not to mention, Glenn Robinson must have the strength, and the Hawks immediately ushered in a wave of three consecutive wins, defeating Carter's Raptors who are still recovering from injury, sister-in-law's Grizzlies, and the Heat, who are always so incomplete, to celebrate three consecutive wins.

Just when people thought that the Hawks were about to "finish the run-in", several teams that Glenn Robinson couldn't win alone, the Pistons, Timberwolves, Mavericks, Jazz, Magic, Pacers...... Six wins in a row!

Glenn Robinson's data is very good, of course, don't look at the others, only look at the score is very good, the first 9 games in December averaged 27 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists per game, which is quite good, not to mention the number of shots higher than the top three scorers Maddy, Kobe, and Iverson.

The league's special care for the first two months of the schedule was wasted, and the Eagles started the season with a miserable 5-18 loss! The East is second, "only" to the Cavaliers!

At this time, no one has any illusions about the current lineup of the Eagles!

Fortunately, November is still a time of anticipation when everyone is looking forward to Glenn Robinson "rehabilitating" and integrating into the team.

But the first 9 games in December were torture for Liu Mang.

Finally, with only 28 games in the first two months of the Hawks combined, the first two months of the Hawks in the entire league had the easiest schedule, and the only difficulty was the wave of teams that had just finished playing six consecutive playoff games.

In such an easy schedule, the Hawks started the season 5-18.

Now all the media are collectively singing about the Aging Eagles, thinking that the Eagles are finished.

At this time, it is finally time to "force the palace"!

……

On December 19th, there are no games today, and the Eagles have five games left this month, two back-to-back games on the 21st and 22nd before the Christmas game, and two away games on the 28th and 30th after the Christmas game.

Today was supposed to be the day off for the Hawks, but after Liu Mang lost to the Pacers last night, he called the owner and made an appointment to meet at the arena this morning.

On time, at 10 o'clock in the morning, Liu Mang came to the door of the general manager's office and knocked on the door.

Hearing the response, Liu Mang pushed open the door and walked in.

What I saw was Steven Price, who had lost a lot of hair, and the oil didn't look like hairspray, but it was estimated that it hadn't been washed for a long time.

Liu Mang remembered that it seemed that since the middle of the six-game losing streak, that is, the third three-game losing streak, Steven Price has not appeared, whether it is an interview, a team meeting, or a game scene.

Seeing Liu Mang coming, Steven Price obviously had an expression of expectation and worry, probably because of Liu Mang's phone call and the pressure from the outside world that he didn't sleep all night, Steven Price's eyes were bloodshot.

"Hello Mr. Price, I want to discuss something." Liu Mang said straight to the point.

"Ace, don't worry, I got in touch last night, and we're going to do whatever it takes to get Glenn Robinson away! Glenn Robinson won't be in the locker room as of today! Steven Price hurriedly said.

Because when Liu Mang called Steven Price last night, the feeling of talking made Steven Price feel quite bad, especially after Liu Mang made the call, Schwartz also called, saying that he did not want to continue to discuss the renewal of the contract for the time being this year.

Because of the big dog, Liu Mang's contract renewal has been shelved since the first three games in November, and now he doesn't plan to talk about it, which makes Steven Price panic.

Especially Liu Mang, who used to be called a more intimate boss, this time he called Mr. directly, which made it clear that he was a lot more estranged!

If Liu Mang wants to change teams next season, the Eagles' salary is above the salary cap, and there is no bird right, so they can't match!

"Mr. Price, I don't want to say this," Liu Mang wants more than just this, he wants more! Liu Mang continued: "I want to know and have a say in some of the team's changes and ideas about the roster, I want to know in advance what kind of trades will be made, you know, I don't want to be rotten, and now we are rotten than the Warriors and the Bulls. ”

Steven Price understands that Liu Mang wants the kind of treatment that only superstars have!

Everything seems negotiable! Steven Price was originally ready to build Liu Mang as a superstar as the face of the team because of his strength, age, potential, and commercial value, so everything is negotiable!

……

……

On this beautiful day, it seems that even God has felt the joy and hope for the future in Liu Mang's heart, and it seems that even God feels that it is time to dissipate the clouds hanging over Atlanta, the weather is quite good, and Atlanta, which has not had the sun for a long time, is sunny today.

After some detailed discussion, Liu Mang came out of Steven Price's office and saw that there was no one around, that serious, I am very angry, I am fed up, you will trade me if you don't agree...... Switched to a villain's triumphant expression.

"Pur-la-la-lu, lu-la-la-lu." Liu Mang was as happy as a 190-pound fat man, riding his bicycle back to the apartment downstairs and shouting in the direction of the sixth floor: "Dinah, Levia, Aida, it's time for us to be reborn from the fire!" ”
