28. Sleeping in groups?

Many fans at the scene held small signs, which said that the opening three consecutive wins, the Hawks have not won for many years, it has been almost 10 years, the last time the opening three consecutive wins were in the 92-93 season, Dominic Wilkins returned after the Achilles tendon rupture, averaging 29.9 points per game, almost won the scoring title, that year and the next year The Hawks probably had the best record in the last 30 years.

From the 50s of the NBA's ancient times, the Hawks have won the championship in 5 years and 4 finals, and the rest of the time the Hawks have been in the same state as now.

This time, the Eagles are likely to win another three-game winning streak after nine years, and the fans are very excited, and the atmosphere is very enthusiastic.

The Knicks are strong on the outside, but they are scummy on the inside.

Originally, after the Knicks did not renew Patrick Ewing, the strongest center in team history, they invested heavily in the introduction of Marcus Camby, a first-class center of the 86 golden generation, but they couldn't stand Camby being a super glass man, he didn't have full attendance in his 5-year career, and he didn't have a season with a more than seventy percent appearance rate, he played 50 games last season, and he was directly injured for three months before the season started, and it's hard to say when he will come back.

So the interior configuration that the Eagles rely on to survive has become the key today.

Knicks starters: Mark Jackson, Alan Houston, Sprewell, Kurt Thomas, Corence Vesep.

The Eagles starting line-up are still the same: Dean Grove, Jason Terry, Raheem, Mohammed, Ratliff.

After the game began, it was undoubtedly the Eagles' side that had the upper hand.

In this era when defense is king, the Hawks, who have a clear advantage on the inside, are stronger defensively, and although the Knicks' outside trio is strong, they can't stand up to the disadvantage on the inside.

Kurt Thomas is okay, he is the same type as Mohammed, and his strength is half a pound, but the gap between Collens Visep and Ratliff is too big.

Speaking of Corens-Visep, I have to mention how amazing the Knicks' vision is.

Last year, Collens Wiesep averaged 11 points and 10 rebounds per game in his contract year with the Cavaliers, and the Knicks couldn't wait to throw out a five-year, $33 million fat contract to dig up.

You must know that Collens Wiesep was born in 1970 and was 31 years old last year, obviously desperately trying his best to brush up on a big contract with a bad team like the Cavaliers, and the Knicks' Scott Reden, the general manager of academic romanticism, really took the bait and threw out a 5-year contract.

This year, Colence Visep combined for 6 points and 10 rebounds in the first two games, which perfectly demonstrated the self-cultivation of players in a contract year.

Since the Knicks have Alan Houston and the Mad Maniac, as well as Mark Jackson, who has excellent playmaking skills, both of whom are short inside and can play beautiful offensive basketball, the Hawks have slowed down the tempo and dragged the rhythm to play, and the game seems slow and quite boring.

Although the fans watched their own team control the rhythm and the initiative on the field was on their side, it was very boring!

At this time, some fans discovered a very magical thing, Liu Mang was on the Hawks bench with his eyes closed.

Asleep again?

The fans at the scene felt that their second-round show was simply enough...... But it didn't seem to be sleeping, because he didn't lean on the bench, but sat with his back straight, his hands on his thighs, his eight fingers crossed, palms facing up, and his mouth seemed to be muttering something.

Emmanuol next to him also saw Liu Mang's strange behavior, and asked strangely, "Ace, what are you doing?" ”

Liu Mang looked at Emmanuol with a serious expression: "I'm praying that Jehovah will bless Jason to blow up Alan Houston quickly, or Alan Houston will blow up, and we will have playing time." ”

Liu Mang was obviously teasing Emmanuor, just now he was just thinking about how to deal with Alan Houston with his eyes closed, as for the posture, it is completely habitual, in his previous life, I heard that it is easier to grow taller when sitting with a hunched back, although this is fake, but a good habit has been formed, but Emmanuol actually took it seriously!

"Great idea! Let's do it together! Emmanuol began to read in fragments as she learned Liu Mang's posture.

"......" Liu Mang seemed to hear a crow flying over his head, ignored the tease, and continued to think.

The pigtailed head on the side, Cool Brother Newbell, didn't speak, but he kept listening to the two of them, hesitated for a moment, and then made the same posture as the two of them.

Substitute small forward Alan Henderson turned his head and looked, good guys, three teammates of the same level are all in the same pose, this is our team's new bench poss? You are not righteous! It's all a small substitute, don't you count us?

So Alan Henderson came together and did the same pose.

Veteran Kukoc was talking and laughing with his old teammate Dick Simpkins, who had won three consecutive championships with the Bulls, reminiscing about the eventful years, and turned his head to find four young teammates posing, and several cameras began to shoot here, on TV!

Depend on!

Poss is not called a handsome guy!

Kukochi decisively showed what it means to be old-hearted, sat next to the four of them, and struck the same pose.

Slowly......

Attention was on the second lineup on the Hawks' bench......

These five guys...... What are you doing? Performance art?

Or are you not interested in boring games? Close your eyes and don't look?

Five people sleeping in a group?

No playing time, in silent protests?

No one paid attention to the game, the fans began to chatter, one or two people discussed okay, when more than 18,000 people were chattering, the whole stadium was buzzing, the fun was big, the Hawks were attacking, Jason Terry finally passed the ball on a whim, and a hand trembled and threw it out of bounds.

Coach Kruger was still wondering what was going on at the scene, and turned his head to see that his five players, from the young Liu Mang at the end of the bench, to the old fritter Kukochi at the end of the other bench, plus three main substitutes, five people were posing, and they suddenly became angry, and took advantage of Jason Terry's mistake and immediately called a timeout.

Coach Kruger was angry, this game was scorching, the Knicks relied on Alan Houston's excellent running and mid-range shooting to tighten the score, and the Hawks didn't dare to be careless at all, otherwise they would likely be overtaken, but their own bench was doing something.

Kukotka? It's hard to scold.

Emmanuol? This guy is just a joke, and it's useless to scold him.

Newbell ...... Scolding a cool brother who won't react for a long time.

Alan Henderson, honest man, Coach Kruger doesn't believe he's going to do anything, he's definitely being taken to the ground.

That's Liu Mang, an unconscious disciple!

Coach Kruger roared angrily: "Ace, what are you doing!" ”

Liu Mang was thinking about how to prevent Alan Houston, when he was suddenly yelled, he was so frightened that he stood up directly, looked at the source of the sound, and found that the coach was staring at him with a blue face.

What's wrong?

Not only that, Liu Mang had a feeling of being stared at by tens of thousands of eyes, and he realized at this time that almost all the fans in the audience were staring at him!

Depend on!

What's wrong!

Didn't you just close your eyes and recuperate for two minutes, looking at what the master was doing?
