Playing at home, the players are always happier, they don't have to travel long distances, they don't have to wait for the game to be idle in the hotel and can't find anything to do, and the most important thing is that they don't have to worry about going out and being beaten.

For example, someone Liu is very hated now, and playing at home is the best.

Get up in the morning, make breakfast before little Lori wakes up, and don't eat, there is a game today, make breakfast and go to the stadium, eat nutritious meals, after the team tactical training and team meeting in the morning, Liu Mang has been studying tactics against the Kings with his teammates in the afternoon, watching the video of the Kings' game, and communicating with his teammates who are going to participate in the game today.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Mang went to Dinah's school to take Dinah and Alexia to the stadium, and then went to do warm-up training and massage stretching before the game.

At 6:40, the entrance ceremony of the two teams began.

The Kings are coming, bringing a lot of threat to the Hawks, mainly because of the Kings' recent winning streak, Webber reintegrated into the Kings, and the Kings showed the demeanor of championship contenders, given that the Kings almost overturned the Lakers two years ago, and now the lineup has not changed much, and Brad Miller, who is very suitable for the Kings' Princeton system, fans feel that it is really bad, the Kings may also reach the Finals, and the Hawks are aiming for the championship this year, in addition to this, Everyone else is sorry for the roster they have now, so the Kings have also become a huge threat to Hawks fans after Webb's return.

When the Kings players played, especially Peja, the audience booed.

After the Kings players entered the stadium and looked behind the bench on the Hawks' side, Prince and Rasheed Wallace were wearing suits, that is, they chose not to play this game, and several Kings stars felt a feeling called "humiliation".

The Hawks actually took turns off when they beat them, which made the Kings stars feel very annoyed!

Many fans don't understand the importance of Rashid Wallace, from the data point of view, Rashid Wallace averaged 12 points, 7 boards, 3 assists and 2 blocks per game, nothing particularly powerful, when Muhammad was a starter, he averaged two doubles per game in two seasons, which looks much more powerful, but as an NBA player, I know more about the importance of Rashid Wallace, especially the Kings players with Webb, who is also a top power forward, know the importance of the last time Rashid Wallace beat Webb to the Hawks' win.

Liu Mang entered the second after Ratliff, and after entering, looking at Webb's slightly rounded figure, it really felt spicy, but from the last few Webb game videos, it seems that he has learned to take advantage of the weight gain, and the defense is worse, but the offense seems to be integrated into the Kings team, and there is no obvious slippage.

Liu Mang still admires Weber's ball quotient.

Feeling the vicious gaze from Peja, Liu Mang spread out his palms, and under Peja's gaze, the tips of his palms straightened his head from his temples, and touched the back of his head.......

Liu Mang couldn't help but roll his eyes, is he still a biological fan! Don't give any face.

The smell of gunpowder between the two teams became stronger, the hostility and anger of the Kings players, and the fear of the fans against the Kings, the two became one, and the Hawks players did not regard the Kings as their final opponents, but now the smell of gunpowder has become stronger.

……

With a roar from Rashid Wallace, the cheers of the audience reached a boiling point, and Liu Mang and Boozer hugged each other after beating their chests with small fists.

Today's starting lineup for the Hawks is Liu Mang, Korver, Raheem, Boozer, and Ratliff.

It seems that the defense of the Eagles' lineup has dropped significantly by more than one notch, which is why Liu Mang feels that Alexander in this game, relatively speaking, Korver is okay, his single defense is not particularly bad, and the help defense is unexpectedly good, mainly because Boozer's defense is really spicy.

The Kings' starting lineup is Bibby, Christie, Peja, Webb, Brad Miller.

A few days before this year's trade deadline, 28 teams in the league have been traded, known as the craziest trade deadline in history, after the finals to the draft, there is no change in draft picks, it is impossible to trade, so many teams who don't want to trade draft picks but don't want to leave the extra stars to the new team to pick up, especially the teams that can't make the playoffs, even if they lose money, they are not willing to give the new team in vain, so 22 transactions happened in those days, and the only team that didn't have any deals, It's the Kings.

This is also the reason why the Kings believe that the Kings can return to the glory of two years ago after the Kings added a Brad Miller who can replace Divac, their roster has not changed much, and most of the players are in their prime, especially after Divac has been replaced by Brad Miller at the peak of his All-Star level.

Ratliff and Brad Miller came to the center circle to jump the ball, and Ratliff bounced a lot better than Brad Miller, winning the jump ball easily.

The Eagles attack first.

After Liu Mang received the ball, he advanced to the front court, and the speed of the advance was obviously slow, compared to the previous three or four seconds to the front court, the ball took more than six seconds.

The starting lineup of the Eagles should not be played fast, Korver, Boozer, and Ratliff, three slow players, were on the field and could only play positions, so Liu Mang tried to slow down the pace as much as possible after the opening.

Liu Mang advanced to the front court, and as soon as he reached the three-point line, Christie immediately defended it.

Christie is a defensive titan in the league! gave Liu Mang huge defensive pressure, for the 34-year-old veteran to be so aggressive in defense, Liu Mang didn't expect that the last time he went to the Kings home court to play, Christie was obviously not so active in defense!

Liu Mang felt Christie's oppression, took a step back and began to change direction to break through, Christie immediately pressed up on Liu Mang's body, and continued to press the defense, Liu Mang was a little strange, he had already made a little space, the other party pressed up, was this defense a mistake?

Following the force of Christie's pressure, Liu Mang wiped past Christie, and as soon as he entered the three-point line, he understood why Christie was defending like that, Bibby, who was originally defending Korver, had already caught Liu Mang with Christie!

And Bibi's defensive position and the timing of the pinch attack were very well controlled, Liu Mang almost crashed directly into Bibi, maybe it was an offensive foul!

The Kings' defensive strategy is quite obvious, blocking Liu Mang and leaking Korver!

Liu Mang almost hit Bibi, a spinning top turned to avoid Bibi, but the ball had already been picked up, and in the process of turning, he tried his best to throw the ball out, and there was no mistake in the danger, and it was sent to the vacant Korver.

Korver is playing a starting game for the first time in his career, and he didn't expect him to start, the Hawks have always focused on defense, except for Boozer, no other defensive team has played a starter this season.

Korver was very nervous, and threw it directly after receiving the ball, quite excited, and then "bang", iron!

Korver was so nervous that such a large vacancy seemed to be chased by someone to bite him, and he shot the iron in a panic.

Brad Miller grabbed the defensive rebound, Adelman on the sidelines smiled, Korver looked like he could attract the defense, his performance in the three-point contest was really amazing, but today the Hawks put Korver in the starter, Adelman immediately chose to let go of Korver and give him a chance, and sure enough, it worked wonders as soon as it started! A rookie who took on the task of starting and was suddenly promoted from a water cooler manager to a starter, this kind of imbalance in mentality, Adelman, the famous coach, had already expected.

The Kings attacked, Brad Miller passed the ball to Bibby, and after Bibby advanced to the frontcourt, the three points were thrown directly in the moment before Korver's defense went up!

Quite good judgment and self-confidence in himself, Korver is still in the loss of not scoring three points, the defensive action is a beat slower, and he is a three-point by Bibi Yan-****!

The key is to return it!

The Kings are picking up the pace! The offense took only eight seconds, and it was thrown almost as soon as it reached the three-point line.

The rhythm of the two teams is clearly chosen!

Liu Mang went to chase Peja and Korver went to defend Bibi, but he didn't expect to be blown up so badly from the beginning, only to know that the last time he fought was not Bibi's bad, but Prince's defense was too good!

The impact of Prince's absence was immediate.

Seeing that Korver was very disappointed, Liu Mang went to pick up the ball, patted Korver's shoulder and comforted him, Korver nodded, Liu Mang went to the bottom line to send the ball to Korver, Korver passed back to Liu Mang, Liu Mang continued to press the rhythm and pushed forward to the frontcourt.

Pressing the slow pace of the eight-second violation, when Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt, his teammates had already fallen into position, Liu Mang suddenly increased his speed, wanting the Kings to be caught off guard, but he didn't expect that Bibby's defensive prediction was too good, and he came up to attack Liu Mang with Christie for the first time, Liu Mang chose to trust Korver again and passed the ball over.

Korver took a deep breath after receiving the ball and made another three-point shot!

It's good to be confident, but the goal still doesn't go in!

Fortunately, the Kings' rebounding is the bottom of the league this year, averaging 41 rebounds per game, conceding 44 rebounds per game, and the second-to-last rebounding average in the league, second only to the SuperSonics.

finally got two points, but looking back, Korver, who was coldly shot by Bibi last time, pressed Bibi very aggressively this time, but he was too positive and was passed by Bibi!

Bibby burst to the basket, completed the connection with Webb, attracted Boozer to shrink and distributed it to Webb, Webb hit a mid-range shot!

5-2, the Kings have an advantage at the start!

The Eagles got off to a very bad start!

Liu Mang was pinched as soon as he passed the half, and there was no chance to pass to Rahim on the inside, Rahim wanted to play singles, Liu Mang always had to look for a passing opportunity, and he couldn't shoot when he passed to Korvor, no way, Liu Mang came to the third attack, and then he came, and he hit a mid-range strong shot in the middle of the two!

The feeling seems to be contagious, Liu Mang's strong shot didn't go in, the Kings protected the defensive rebound this time, quickly counterattacked, and Peja's chase three-point hit!

The opening game was beaten 8-2, and the Eagles were forced to call a timeout!
