Chapter 298: The Eagle Four
The Atlanta Eagles' slogan this year is simply two words, "Revenge"! The Avengers, the Black Whistle, and the New York Knicks.
The first thing to do is to get the first regular season record in the Eastern Conference that should have been in hand. Last season, the Hawks lost a few games they shouldn't have lost because of the slow start to the season, or they wouldn't have lost their home-court advantage, and ended up in the Big Apple.
For this old-school powerhouse, the Los Angeles Lakers led by Zhang Yi may be strong, but the all-main Hawks don't take them to heart at all.
And this season, their goal is not only revenge, but also to win the championship, and the Hawks have strengthened their guard line. This is the result of the stronger the strong team and the weaker the weak team.
The Hawks' introduction of defensive guards is essentially designed to stifle a crazy scorer like Thomas, and Curry Jr. is among them. Not to mention Robert, a rookie with the Los Angeles Lakers.
At Wacker's prewar meeting, the Hawks were seen as an imaginary opponent who could eventually break out of the East, and of course, in Zhang's opinion, the New York Knicks were stronger. After all, Thomas is a powerful man.
In the first two games, Thomas and Curry Jr. were both 30+, but Curry Jr. played all four quarters, while Thomas punched in both games in three quarters, so you can imagine how strong the offensive firepower of 'Crazy Rush' has been this season.
Of course, Zhang Yi also performed well, he scored 28 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists in the first two games, plus 4 steals and 3 blocks in the all-around statistics.
Although people are still talking about Zhang Yi's explosive physical advantage, there is also his all-round. But when it comes to Curry Jr.'s successor, Thomas' performance is now clearly more dazzling.
Although in the end, it will be up to who can break the dominance of the Golden State Warriors to win the championship, and data is a necessary condition for the league's top card, but the importance of the championship ring is even more self-evident.
The Lakers have a good momentum, but now they have their first test of the season. Face the Atlanta 'All-Star' Hawks, known as the Big Four!
This team has the league's best defensive two-way guard Kevin, three-point maniac quarterback Connor, rim master Brandon and star small forward 'White Shark' Sharloin?? Aldo!
The reason why this Sirloin is called 'White Shark' is also because he is also known for his physical strength, although he grew up in a black family, he is a pure white man.
Just like Zhang Yi justified the name of the yellow race, Sirloin has also been known as the strongest white man on the planet for many years. Approaching 2.10 meters tall, he is out of place to hit anyone. There are definitely not many people in the entire league who can defend Sharon. He's like a white version of the 'Grim Reaper' Durant. The difference is that Sharon prefers to kill inside, he has shooting ability, but he is not as consistent as Durant.
Zhang Yi's height is a little insufficient in front of Sha Ron, so before the game, people were not optimistic about how well this oriental rookie could perform in front of 'White Shark'.
It can almost be said that the Lakers' starting lineup was wiped out by the Hawks, and it was no problem to be forced to eat at five positions in the game. The disparity in strength is a fact of certainty.
Many bookmakers have set the Lakers odds very high for this game, although there are still many people who buy the Lakers to win. But in the eyes of the so-called professionals, as long as there is no 'car accident' scene and the Eagles' starting four are completely complete, then there is no suspense about the outcome of the game.
Before the start of the game, WACKER focused on taking Zhang Yi and others to practice joint defense. Because against a team like the Eagles that is full of stars and everyone can play alone, God knows what tactics they're going to choose.
And the joint defense may be the best way to deal with them, especially the terrifying height of Sirloin, which is the best way. Although Zhang Yi's height is not enough, fortunately, his arm span is long enough, which allows him to not fall behind in the duel with anyone.
Zhang Yi knows very well that he will face the strongest small forward in the league in this game. If Curry Jr.'s misplacement and playing him was just a random arrangement, they wouldn't have met even in the face of the Golden State Warriors. But the Sharloin could be one of the big players to be compared in the coming years.
This was the first time he had a fight with 'White Shark', and Zhang Yi was a little nervous because he definitely didn't want to ruin the opportunity. If you want to be the number one in the league, you must first be the best in your position!
For Zhang Yi, winning the duel with Sharon is the first step to becoming the strongest small forward in the active team!
The game kicked off, and Atlanta's arena was filled with crazy Hawks fans. No matter how many years have passed, people's minds will not change, for example, a team that plays well will get more supporters.
Coupled with the controversial decision in last year's Eastern Conference final, many Atalanta fans naively thought it had something to do with the home team's lack of support. If there were more pressure from the away fans, the league would not tolerate referees messing up the game. This is all nonsense, of course, but that's what a lot of people really think.
Now the Eagles have even brought in the Big Four. This could be good news for their fans. But it's a nightmare for the rest of the league!
It's scary enough to have a Warriors team from the universe, Curry Jr. is about to retire, and as a result, the Hawks have another Big Four?! And it's a real Big Four, every player here is in his playing year, and the style of play is very compatible.
That's amazing. These newcomers to the Los Angeles Lakers don't feel good, but several veteran players led by Oscar are well aware of the strength of their opponents this time, so even they feel that there is no hope of winning.
WACKER was there, and no one dared to complain. But this frustration is written on the faces of this group of veteran players. That's always the case when there is a dynastic team in the basketball world. No matter how hard he and the team tried, it seemed that there was no chance of winning.
But every dynasty team is disintegrated from within, and although the Hawks Big Four are harmonious on the surface, and the only star who joined later is defensive guard Kevin, the relationship between these people is not sweet......
Although it didn't make a fuss like the Pacers in the last game, outsiders could see the infighting. But in terms of the distribution of tactics, these people actually still have conflicts.
There is only one ball to play in the game! It's okay to tie a bunch of stars together just like an All-Star, and it's not uncommon for a team to fight over data every day.
Hawks managers and head coaches know the Big Four can't grow. Winning the championship before they disintegrate, that's the reality!
The Los Angeles Lakers will also be a test for the Hawks, as they have no idea what their chances of winning against the West's powerhouses......
