Inside the Phillips Arena, there are fans holding "Fifty-seven" signs.

As the players from both teams played, the cheers kept rising.

Hawks fans are now very proud, the defending champions, No. 1 in the East, with a 16-3 record, and a 17-3 record of the Suns who have played one more game, and it is impossible for Hawks fans not to be proud of their home team.

Now that Liu Mang is challenging scorers from all walks of life, fans naturally hope that Liu Mang can make a strong response!

As for the Bulls, while people feel that the Bulls are a strong contender to snipe the Hawks, Hawks fans are not worried about this, and in their opinion, the Bulls are just a "fifth team in the East".

It's that self-confidence, and this strong self-confidence, has also infected the Hawks players and put pressure on the players on the Bulls' side.

"Hawks fans are just annoying, is that guy really the number one in the league? How many points do you want to get? Tyson Chandler couldn't help but complain when he saw the two players of the same class opposite.

"The kind of useless center who only defends, I can just blow him up." Eddie Curry, on the other hand, is disdainful of Kwame Brown.

A useless center who only defends? Tyson Chandler glanced at Eddie Curry and went back to the bench to sit.

Hinrich looked at the proud posture of the away fans, and saw Tyson Chandler and Eddie Curry, two talented high school students, who couldn't help but complain when they saw the cheers of the fans holding the 57 sign, Hinrich didn't say anything, he was so calm.

Composure doesn't mean you don't want to win, and Hinrich would love to beat the Eagles.

But the Hawks are indeed too strong, and although the Bulls have won against strong teams this season, Hinrich is still not too sure that they can beat the Hawks.

However, when he knew that in the pre-game news, the Eagles didn't take them seriously, and the whole team wanted to help Liu Mang score points, Xin Li felt that the opportunity had come!

Seeing the unstoppable look on the Eagles' side, Hinrich was happy.

It's time to make a name for yourself!

……

The game is about to start, and Maddie feels so ashamed! It's just a regular season game, and it's still playing yin! But this sense of shame makes Maddie a little excited.

"It's really nice to be teammates with Ace." Maddie couldn't help but sigh when she saw that Liu Mang was still practicing three points, and then prepared to play with shame and excitement.

Liu Mang was watching the Bulls players.

It's really amazing!

It's an almost perfect fit for a nine-man rotation!

Hinrich, 85 (peak), 84 offensive, 86 defensive, 87 three-pointers, 79 mid-range shots, 85 layups...... He averaged 15 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists per game.

Eddie Curry, Aptitude 88 (contract year), 95 offensively, 73 defensively...... He averaged 17 points, 6 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game.

These two are the only two first-class stars of the Bulls that Liu Mang has seen, Xinrich is at the peak of his sophomore year, no big surprise, this is a standard traditional point guard, and even his career is very traditional, he only entered the NBA after four years of college, and the technology has long matured, and after a year of adaptation, Xinrich quickly entered the peak.

It's Eddie Curry, the system has given the identification, contract year player......

Not to mention, the contract year player is a cow, and he is already a very powerful kind of first-class player, with an offensive ability of 95......

Although there are no top stars, there are only two top stars, but the others ......

Rohr Deng, Competency Assessment 78; Ben Gordon, Competency Evaluation 79; Tyson Chandler, Ability Assessment 81; Antonio Davis, Ability Rating 80; Chris Dujon, Competency Assessment 72; Otera-Harrington, Ability Rating 76......

The Bulls have nine rotations, and except for Duhon, none of them have an ability rating lower than 75!

Eddie Curry, who just celebrated his 22nd birthday yesterday, if he can continue to improve at the current rate of progress, the Bulls will be terrible!

Especially those two rookies, Roel Deng and Ben Gordon, the rookies have a better ability evaluation than Howard...... Thinking that Okafor's rookie year was more powerful than James' rookie year, and even Du Hong's second-round pick had an ability evaluation of 72, Liu Mang couldn't help but complain: 2004 was really a strange draft year......

Moreover, because Al Jefferson was snatched away by the Celtics, the Hawks had to choose Vallejo, resulting in not choosing Duhon, which has always been a pain in Liu Mang's heart.

But Liu Mang knows that Eddie Curry is a contract-year player...... It's not that when you don't get paid, you definitely don't think about playing hard.

But this year, it happens to be the contract year of the No. 4 pick, and, in the competition with the same class, Eddie Curry has been excellent, whether it is playing Gasol or Kwame Brown, he has always had the upper hand, playing the Hawks last season, and has a game with 37 points and 14 boards.

Seeing Eddie Curry's body, weighing more than 130 kilograms, Liu Mang went up and patted Kwame Brown, who was practicing rebounding when he was shooting, and mourned for a few seconds.

Kwame-Brown knew that it was Liu Mang's meaning, but he was not afraid now, it was just gang!

……

"Ding...... The Eagles Devils home trigger from Rashid Wallace and Phillips Arena fans. ”

With a roar from Rashid Wallace, Liu Mang threw magnesium powder into the air.

Kwame Brown comes to the center circle and Eddie Curry jumps the ball.

The starting lineup sent by the Hawks is still the same, Liu Mang, Maddy, Prince, Rasheed Wallace, and Kwame Brown.

On the Bulls' side, Hinrich, Dujon, Rohr Deng, Antonio Davis, and Eddie Curry played.

Liu Mang saw that Kwame Brown and Eddie Curry were full of fighting spirit! The hideous feeling on the faces of the two was very strong.

Both of them were high school students in the class of 2001, and they were the two most talented rookies that year.

Liu Mang had found out about Kwame Brown before the game, and knew that two years before Kwame Brown came to the Hawks, he was bullied by two rookies in the same high school class opposite, and Liu Mang laughed so much that he didn't want to be angry, and he wanted to find someone to comfort him.

The feud between Kwame Brown and Eddie Curry and Tyson Chandler dates back to 1997, when they were both 15 years old in high school, and Kwame Brown almost got into a fight with Tyson Chandler for the first time.

Because of the style of play, Kwame Brown has always been very physical, in high school was the kind of flying around dunking, Tyson Chandler is the kind of player who focused on defense in high school, although his physical fitness is also good, but his size does not support him to play that violently, the two met for the first time in today's high school National High School Basketball Championship, Kwame Brown dunked Tyson Chandler and almost fought.

Later in the senior year, it was actually Tyson Chandler who played better, and he thought he could be the top pick, who knows

And Eddie Curry, on the other hand, has good talent, no one looks down on him, has a bad relationship with teammate Tyson Chandler, envy Kwame Brown's salary nearly twice as high as him, envy and hatred, and beats him to death every time he meets Kwame Brown.

Chandler is defensive, and Eddie Curry is offensive, but both of them can only play center, tried to let Chandler play power forward, but that guy was shot to death by those shooting power forwards, so Chandler can only play the bench, because Eddie Curry has been so strong since he wanted to renew his contract early last season.

The same team, the same position, or the same age to enter the team at the same time, the competition is naturally fierce.

After the referee chooses the ball, he comes to the center circle.

It's time to jump the ball!

Liu Mang saw Kwame Brown leap high and pull the ball back from Eddie Curry's head, which was expected by Liu Mang.

Liu Mang jumped up and received the ball, and immediately hit a fast attack!

After receiving the ball, Liu Mang rushed to the frontcourt, and unexpectedly Eddie Curry actually came up to block him!

With that huge body and flexible big hands, Liu Mang could only take a step sideways to avoid it, and at this time, the other four members of the Bulls team had already fallen into a defensive position.

Watching Eddie Curry quickly run back to the basket, 80 speed, 130 kilograms, Liu Mang thought of O'Neal.

This guy's talent is really good, the bounce is a little worse than Kwame Brown, but the speed is only a little bit worse!

Liu Mang continued to push forward and came to the outside of the three-point line, seeing Xin Liqi defend himself.

Hinrich's defense is very good, this is a defensive master who can defend from the No. 1 position to the No. 3 position, and the defense is very strong, similar to the kind of defense that Stockton has.

You can keep up with the pace and be able to prevent shots.

Liu Mang leaned sideways against Hinrich to avoid being stealed by the player of the future best defensive lineup, observed the Bulls' defense, and found that Du Hong and Luol Deng were both close to the middle, ready to attack at any time, Liu Mang chose to break through the attack!

Liu Mang used the skills of high back in the top arc, first turned around to the right side one step, deceived Xin Liqi's center of gravity shift, and at the moment of seeing Xin Liqi's foot move, Liu Mang took the ball to the left rear with his left hand, and his left foot was the axis, and the right foot was thrown to the left rear, and the left turned to break through!

Xin Liqi was stuck aside by Liu Mang!

Liu Mang rushed towards the middle, and Xin Liqi could only run close to Liu Mang, but he was already out of position and could not interfere with Liu Mang's breakthrough route.

However, this was within Hinrich's expectations, Rohr Deng had already defended to the free throw line, and Liu Mang stopped and jumped outside the free throw line!

Hinrich, who was going to change Maddie's defense, immediately pounced on Liu Mang's back, and Luol Deng also jumped up to interfere.

At this time, Liu Mang pulled the ball back and threw it at Maddie!

Maddie had already cut into the inside, and after receiving the ball, he took two steps to the inside and easily scored two points.

Eddie Curry gets out of the way...... The defense may be blocked, and it may not necessarily interfere, and Eddie Curry has opted for Mingzhe to protect himself......

Passed the ball?

This surprised the Bulls' two outside defenders, didn't Liu Mang hold the ball and throw it?

Or is it the reason why the bag clamped too fast?

Liu Mang retreated immediately after landing, and the Eagles retreated quickly.

The Bulls are an extremely balanced team on offense and defense, and their balance is a little different from other teams, with five players on the Bulls all having the ability to attack with the ball, and even Antonio Davis has a good close-range shot and close-range rim singles.

So the Eagles' defense is their own defender.

Liu Mang waited for Xinrich to advance over, and when he saw Xinrich coming to the three-point line, he immediately pasted it on, preventing Xinliqi, a traditional guard, Liu Mang's advantage is obvious.

Sure enough, Hinrich was about to block and dismantle, Liu Mang saw Antonio Davis coming to his left, and Hinrich was ready to shoot around the block in order to avoid being targeted by Rasheed Wallace's change of defense!

Liu Mang is so maverick, stunned to bypass from the outside of Antonio Davis, not to prevent Hinrich from blocking and breaking through, but to block Hinrich's three points.

Hinrich could only cross the three-point line to avoid Liu Mang, and before Rashid Wallace could make a two-point shot!

Liu Mang's choice is correct, Xinrich's mid-range shot is far worse than three points, and he is two points long!

Kwame Brown easily picked up the defensive rebound from Eddie Curry's head and immediately passed it to Maddy, and Liu Mang was the first to get down.

The Bulls' defense is very fast, they are ready to shoot at any time, their winning tactics are defense, the offensive end can shoot in, and if you can't shoot, you can quickly retreat, this season Eddie Curry has been defenced very quickly in the contract year.

After Liu Mang rushed across the halfcourt, Maddie hoisted the ball to Liu Mang, Liu Mang leaned on the catch-up Hinrich jumped up to receive the ball, and then rushed to the left 45-degree angle, the Bulls players who came back from the defense all rushed towards Liu Mang, Dujon and Rohr Deng broke through, and Hinrich prevented Liu Mang from chasing three points.

Liu Mang saw that Kwame Brown had rushed into the three-point line, and immediately threw the ball to Maddie, who rushed across the halfway, and Maddie ran to the top of the three-point line to receive the ball and shot directly into the three-point line!

Again!

Liu Mang got two assists at the beginning, and Maddie scored 5 points in a row!

Kwame Brown, who rushed to the basket and was ready to catch empty, was so resentful, there was no rebound, no scoring, he obviously had a better chance!

Kwame-Brown thought of Liu Mang's teachings: Kwame, in the future, I will be caught by the people who should have defended you, I will shoot, you will grab the rebound, it's not that I play alone, you think about it, I entered, I entered, and it was also two points, and if you didn't get it, you grabbed the rebound, it was the rebound plus two points, isn't it great? So it's normal that I didn't pass it on to you.

Kwame Brown actually understood this magical theory...... What else can I do if I don't understand? Can you still grab defensive rebounds by yourself, dribble to the front court and dunk by yourself?

However, this kind of counterattack does not give a pass, and it is too much!

Maddie felt weird, annoyed by Kwame Brown's resentful eyes, and thought that next time she would pass it on to this fellow high school student.

The Bulls have figured out something is wrong!

At the beginning, Liu Mang was actually organizing an attack!

The Eagles are cheating!
