"This place, it's really annoying!" Jason Terry grumbled.

"I think it's very good, the land is vast and sparsely populated, the mountains and rivers are beautiful......" Liu Mang looked at the low house outside the window, and he could see the field at a glance, and replied casually.

"Vast and sparsely populated? That's a good adjective, I'll admit it, but although the adjective is also good, where do you see it? Jason-Terry pointed to the huge chimneys of the large waste incineration plant that could be a few kilometers away, but because this is a coastal plain and the buildings in the town are low, he can see at a glance the huge chimneys of the large waste incineration plant a few kilometers away from the town.

New Jersey, good place, big coastal state.

But the small town of Rutherford is not a good place.

It's a bit of an exaggeration to say that the town is just a town in the United States, which is probably similar to a small county town in China.

Rutherford's small town teammate, New Jersey, is just a transit point in Jersey City, where the biggest revenue, apart from the hotel industry, and the Nets are a waste incineration plant, which is responsible for disposing of some of the vast amount of waste generated by the coastal trade.

Fortunately, it is not to deal with white garbage, otherwise it would be uninhabitable.

However, even though the exhaust treatment is highly restrictive, the environment is not really good.

"Let's just do it, we're going back to Atlanta tomorrow after the game, and we're only going to stay one night anyway." Liu Mang doesn't care so much, Atlanta has a very good environment, and it is rare to suck what he used to smoke every day.

In the past, when playing the Nets away, they all lived in Jersey City, which was more than an hour's drive away, and the rich players of the Nets also bought villas in Jersey City, of course, there are many apartments like Liu Mang, although it is rare to rent a house in Jersey City, a coastal city with such a high rent, and live here, because no one can say whether there will be an NBA team next season, even if there is a development league now, but the salary of the development league is too low, and now you have to save money.

This time, due to the crucial game with the Nets, the two teams have a total of three meetings this season, the first two are one win and one loss, this Hawks must win, otherwise if they meet in the playoffs, the psychological pressure is too great.

What's more, so many plans have been made this time, sniper tactics, and deliberate weak tactics of pretending to be infighting, just to cause more trouble for the Nets.

So the Eagles stayed at a nearby hotel in the town of Rutherford this time, and they didn't have to take a car for more than two hours to come from Jersey City, which was also good for physical strength.

It is a legendary "quasi" four-star hotel, claiming to have four-star decoration hardware, but not the kind with stars.

Anyone is used to living a tyrant's life, and if they are a little worse, they can't stand it, especially black people.

But overall it's okay, Jason Terry and others have complained and complained, and it hasn't reached the era of tens of millions of contract for role players in the future, and coping with it has passed all of a sudden.

……

……

The Hawks are now 58-21 and can reach 60 with two wins in three games.

The Spurs and Kings in the West have both broken 60 wins, with the Spurs 61-19 with two games left and the Kings 60-19 with three games remaining.

After that, the Lakers went 56-24 and had two games left to play, at most 58 wins.

The Hawks could be one of only three 60-win teams in the league, which can be considered a boost to the overall record of the Eastern Conference.

There are three 50-win teams in the East, the Hawks, Nets, Celtics, and the sixth-ranked Mavericks in the West all have better records than the Nets and Celtics.

On April 13, the Hawks' penultimate regular season game was also a crucial regular season game.

But the key is the key, and the Eagles players are still very relaxed.

A series of things that were done before were all to add to the blockage of the Nets, and the Hawks were naturally happy to win the Nets in this game, and the next 76ers defeated the Nets and successfully sent the Celtics to second place in the East.

But if you lose, there will be psychological pressure in addition to the possible Eastern Conference finals against the Nets, and there is nothing else, whether the Nets will lose to the 76ers is a matter of two questions, in case the 76ers want to play the Celtics sixth, and don't want to chase the fifth.

The plan is in the people, the success is in the sky, Liu Mang feels that this sentence in the teacher's table is very reasonable.

……

……

The Army Airlines Arena, Liu Mang feels weird every time he comes here, and it feels even more empty than the American Airlines Center in Miami.

Despite the 90 percent attendance, it doesn't sound like 10 percent of the seats are empty at best.

But there are more than 21,000 seats in this arena, which means that there are about 2,000 seats that are empty, which is a bit strange to the naked eye.

The Nets' revenue is very bad, it has been losing money since the 60s when it was still in the ABA league, and the ABA went bankrupt to join the NBA, and it is still losing money, year after year.

If it weren't for the advertising of their owner, Alan Cohen's Federal Shipping Group, the team would have been sold long ago.

After the players from both sides entered, Kidd greeted the Hawks with his trademark polite smile.

The Nets have had an easy two years, and they just need to win two of their remaining three games to secure second place in the East.

Kidd, a "veteran" who has played in the playoffs for many years, does not attach much importance to home-court advantage in the playoffs, and Kidd is already in his eighth season and is already regarded as a veteran of the Mesozoic era.

But if there is no home court advantage in the second and third rounds in two consecutive rounds, Kidd also feels very hurt, although he has the experience of beating the defending champion Spurs 3-1 in the next round, but it still feels very painful to go down to the bottom line, so the home advantage in the second round still has to be grabbed.

Acting has to be enough, Raheem and Jason Terry have been complaining to Liu Mang about why they are banned for the past two days, although the team did not report to deduct their salary, which made them feel a little more comfortable, but they are still complaining about why Liu Mang came on the field to brush up the data.

Of course, this is just a complaint and a joke with Liu Mang in private.

However, these two eight women are now performing quite energetically.

Raheem stepped forward and grabbed Kidd's handshake and bumped his chest, pushing Jason Terry aside.

"Hey Jason, it's been a long time." Raheem had a squeezed smile on his face.

Kidd looked at Rahim's expression and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, those teammates of his own have gone crazy in the past two days, saying that they are going to celebrate the second place in the East, Kidd is so painful, what is there to celebrate in a second place! And got it!

But now I see Raheem's expression, the smile that doesn't seem to be emotionally squeezed out, and the small action that squeezes Jason Terry away and comes up first to say hello, a small action that feels like "fighting for the boss".

Kidd continued to smile politely and said, "It's okay, we may see each other again in a little more than a month, and we'll see each other every day then." ”

When Raheem left after saying hello, the smile on his face disappeared when he saw that Jason Terry was still beside him.

Kidd seemed to hear a soft snort, and the smile on his face became less polite, and he smiled a little sincerely......

……

Strength!

Acting school!

It seems to be much better than the acting skills of the actor surnamed Li in China.

Black people's acting talent is strong!

Liu Mang looked at Raheem and Jason Terry, who had returned to the bench and said nothing, the two sat on Liu Mang's left and right, which felt like they were competing for the support of the team's "third person", Liu Mang poked the two people next to him with two hands, and gave a thumbs up in the two gaps between the three.

Raheem and Jason Terry's chest-hugging hands also gave a thumbs up to Liu Mang in the middle.

Looking at the relaxed and happy atmosphere on the Nets' side, the three eaglets can't wait to play!

(Asking for a monthly pass, asking for a monthly pass, is it more feasible to add it for every 50 monthly passes accumulated?) Xiaofeng wants to try the top five, although it is a bit self-defeating, the top ten Xiaofeng on the sports monthly ticket list are the lowest, and even the top nine others are boutique or level 5 gods, Xiaofeng is indeed immeasurable, but if you really want to give it a try, it is already sixth, why can't the fifth be under it. ）
