The Hawks beat the Raptors 109-93 to win three straight games, but it didn't cause much repercussions.

The Hawks' starting schedule was already easy, the Magic and the Raptors, the two teams that could potentially impact the playoffs, suddenly collapsed, and the three teams they met at the beginning were still more than one fish belly, and the Hawks lost and there was a little bit of possibility, and none of the bubbles came out of the bubble when they won.

Of course, this is mainly about the basketball world in the United States, and the domestic imperial court station is now very friendly to its own players who go to play overseas, praise when they win, and encourage them when they lose, such as Zhou Qi, who will not be able to play in the future no matter how bad he is or even on the court, and the imperial court station representing the country has not had any too negative news, but is mostly encouraged.

Of course, forums and portals are not easy to say, and no matter how good they are, there will be a bunch of people black

Mainly on the side of the United States, the Eagles have been good enough in the past two years, unless they go further, otherwise they have a strengthened lineup now, playing such a weak opponent, except for mentioning that the Eagles have won three consecutive games, it is difficult to give more than one evaluation.

But if they lose, the criticism of miscalculation or something will flood in all of a sudden.

But because of this, the Eagles got time to develop obscenely in silence.

On the morning of the second day after the game with the Raptors, Liu Mang took a shower after training, and after breakfast, he was ready to leave for the airport, and then the Hawks had a five-game trip, and tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will usher in the first away back-to-back of the season, playing the Hornets and the SuperSonics, two teams that are regarded as having playoff strength, especially the Hornets have started too well this year, so the Hawks depart at nine o'clock in the morning and arrive at the away road early, so that they can have a good rest and get ready for the game.

Just when Liu Mang returned to the room to pack his luggage, he saw that his backpack had been packed, and Alexia also took a big box and packed her coat, jacket, sneakers and everything.

"Aida, I don't need to bring so many things, I'm wearing them." Liu Mang saw that Alexia seemed to be stuffing all her coats into the box, and said speechlessly.

"You're going out for more than ten days, how can you just have that one coat, you're a big star now." Although Alexia also felt a bit exaggerated, she stuffed seven or eight coats, but she couldn't help but complain about Liu Mang, and picked five sets, so that Liu Mang could wear different coats when he went to each away game, but after emptying the coat, he stuffed a few warm clothes and pants in, "It's cold in the north, you have to wear more clothes when you go out." ”

"Aida, why are you like my mother, so carefree." Liu Mang felt a little bad, his mother's character, he had seen it when he went back in the summer.

Liu Mang's complaint, beyond his expectations, Alexia was actually very happy to hear this complaint: "Really? Similar to it? ”

“……”

“……”

……

Liu Mang carried a backpack and dragged a large box to drive to the airport first, and now Liu Mang's villa, Dinah's school, and Phillips Arena are basically three places that are about the same distance from each other, so in addition to picking them up to watch the game, Alexia drove Dinah to school in the morning.

After Liu Mang left, Dinah, who had finished breakfast, came to Alexia's side.

"Teacher, you've been very nice to your uncle lately!" Dinah said sourly.

"Is there one? Haven't I always been nice to your uncle? Alexia laughed, "Have you finished breakfast?" Let's go change clothes, we're going to school. ”

"No, no, no, teacher, your eldest uncle has been very good lately......"

……

……

New Orleans, very close to Atlanta, the easternmost team in the Southwest Division, is still playing the Eastern schedule for the time being, because the team to be replenished in the East has been put on the agenda, and Old Man Joe, who was swept away by the Wizards, is unwilling and ready to build a team to dominate the NBA again, but he doesn't have so much money, the Charlotte government and the league have started to build a cable with Time Warner, but they have to find a salary that pays tens of millions of dollars a year and pays up to 150 million dollars now" Entrance fee".

Charlotte's re-establishment of the NBA team was promised by the league when the Hornets moved out of Charlotte, and the Hornets still played the schedule of teams in the Southeast Division, and for this reason, they had to wait for another team to make up for the impact of their move.

At eleven o'clock in the morning, the Eagles arrived at the Royal Sonnista Seaside Hotel in New Orleans, the coaching staff let the players rest on their own, and Liu Mang took Boozer and Kwame Brown and Jason Terry to lunch in high spirits.

As for the rest of the teammates, they all have their own restaurants they want to go to or people who have a good relationship with the Hornets who have made an appointment to get together before the game.

Liu Mang asked the young lady at the front desk to send a chartered car from a car rental company cooperated with the hotel.

After getting into the car, the driver asked Liu Mang and the others where they were going, and Jason Terry was also very curious, Liu Mang was so excited about where to take them to eat today, and asked, "Ace, where are you going to invite us to eat today?" ”

"Oh, Jason, come to New Orleans, of course, for the famous New Orleans Grilled Wings! I wanted to eat the last time we came, but the first two times we came here it was raining, and today the weather is rare and we went to try the local food! Liu Mang wants to taste the fast food that he had the opportunity to eat when he was extravagant in his previous life, and what it tastes like in the 'birthplace' of the United States.

The main thing is that now he endorses McDonald's, and he has no chance to eat KFC anymore.

"New Orleans roast wings?" Not only Jason Terry, but also the driver, Kwame Brown, and Boozer, all asked suspiciously.

New Orleans is a famous tourist city in the United States, very famous, before the hurricane, the tourism here is no worse than Miami, is the most economically developed city in Louisiana, and the per capita income ranks among the top of all cities in the United States.

New Orleans is also famous for its seafood dishes, but none of them have heard of New Orleans grilled wings.

"Yes, brother, take us to your most famous roast wing restaurant!" Liu Mang said to the driver.

“…… Sir, I've lived here for more than 30 years, and I haven't heard of a famous chicken wing shop......" The driver said weakly, looking at Liu Mang's excitement, he really couldn't bear to blow.

"......" Liu Mang's head was powered off for a few seconds, "How is it possible!" Your wings are so famous...... Not really? ”

Seeing that several people shook their heads decisively, Liu Mang seemed to have suffered a critical blow.

"And what's the most famous of you!" Liu Mang asked unwillingly, what if China and the United States have different names for that thing!

"Our most famous thing here is crayfish!" The driver can finally correct it.

"So you call chicken wings and crayfish here! Let's go, take us there. Liu Mang waved his hand and asked the driver to drive.

“……”

“……”

“……”

“……”

The other four people in the car were speechless......

……

……

On November 7, the Hawks played the first game of a back-to-back against the Hornets away.

Liu Mang came to the New Orleans Arena with anger today, he didn't expect that New Orleans really didn't have roast wings, although eating crayfish was also very refreshing, and the taste was more in line with the taste of the Chinese people, but Liu Mang was still very angry, New Orleans is such a big city, there is not even a shop that sells New Orleans grilled wings!

It's all the Wasps! So Liu Mang was ready to take his anger out on the Hornets.

This is Liu Mang's excuse for saying to his teammates that he is very scrappy, and Liu Mang's fighting spirit is so high because of the best player on the Hornets right now - Baron Davis.

Ability 87, offense 91, defense 85, three-point 70, mid-range shooting 75, layup 89, passing 90......

Liu Mang is always so excited when facing a strong man in the same position!

After the players from both sides entered, the Hornets players felt the strong fighting spirit of the Eagles! Liu Mang, in particular, has been staring at Baron Davis.

Barang Davis wondered, when did he mess with that guy?

But doubts are doubts, Baron Davis glared back at Liu Mang without hesitation, the Hornets have introduced a lot of high-quality substitutes this year while retaining the core lineup, such as Darrell Armstrong, Steve Smith and others, this year the Hornets are going to do big things!

Jamal Mashburn played the best of his career last season, also played a full-time season, and turned 31 at the end of this month, at the peak of his prime, still averaging 22 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists per game in the first few games.

Jamal Magloyer, the big center of the class of 2000, has grown up in the last two years, and after averaging 10+8 per game last season, he played an excellent performance of 14 points and 11 boards per game in the first few games of this year.

Coupled with Baron Davis, a 24-year-old representative of the Mesozoic point guard who averaged 23 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists per game, as well as PJ Brown, who is not the top but very active inside, and David Wesley, a short speed attack scorer, the Hornets' starting lineup is strong.

Add to that the fact that they spent so much money poaching Steve Smith from the Spurs and Darrell Armstrong from the Magic in the summer, there's no reason why the Hornets wouldn't want to do something big.

This year, the Hornets started the season with four straight wins, tied with the Pacers for first place in the East, and beat the Hawks with three straight wins.

So this year's Hornets players have the confidence, the confidence they have won by their own strength, and they are not afraid of the Hawks at all.

The Hawks attach great importance to this game, and the Hornets may be the key opponent to compete with them for the top spot in the Southeast Division, last year they bucked the trend and won the fourth place in the East despite so many injuries, and the Hawks have to pay attention to this year's start.

With the end of the pre-game activities and the start of the two teams, the war between the new generation of point guards and the middle generation of point guards caused by a chicken wing is about to begin......
