On March 15th, a great day, the Hawks are about to host a game against last year's MVP Allen Iverson's Philadelphia 76ers.

But it's a bit of a pity that Iverson couldn't play today's game.

Iverson has actually been playing with injuries this season, the right elbow joint was damaged at the beginning, and the left elbow joint was damaged after recovery, it is said that in order to protect the right elbow, too much use of the left elbow is the same as Kobe Bryant's Achilles tendon rupture, which led to a fracture of the tibia in the knee of the right leg.

Rose had a similar situation, he injured the knee of one leg, and after the first reimbursement, he came back in good shape, but the other leg was also injured, and he finally died in the dust.

Iverson suffered consecutive injuries after the All-Star weekend, and finally couldn't hold it in March, the fourth metacarpal bone in his left hand was cracked, which is the one of the ring finger, and conservative treatment should also rest for a while, in order not to affect the playoffs, Larry Brown and Iverson discussed and decided that Iverson would try to play as few games as possible before the 76ers fell out of the top eight, and recuperate from injuries and wait for the playoffs to come.

The 76ers' schedule is easy, easier than the Hawks, and the last 30 days or so have not even been back-to-back!

This is the schedule benefit of last season's overall runner-up, along with the Lakers and Mavericks, the three teams with the fewest back-to-backs this season, with only 14 back-to-backs all season, while the Hawks have played 14 back-to-backs and two more.

And the 76ers' opponents at the end of the season are average, there are few top teams, of course, because the 76ers themselves are not good this season, it doesn't look so easy.

However, Iverson has been out of action for these few games, Raja Bell, who replaced Iverson as the starting point guard, has performed well, and the 76ers have played mainly defense, playing as fast as the Heat, and the winning rate is also good, and the sixth record in the East is still very stable.

Originally, according to media reports, Iverson said in an interview that he might play this game, so the Hawks' training in the past two days was based on the 76ers with Iverson, and Iverson has not played once or twice with an injury, and has always been able to play the strength of the league's best scoring super scorer.

Unexpectedly, the 76ers just shook a shot, and before the game started, Iverson came out in a suit, and the Hawks knew that they were shaken!

Looking at Iverson with an awkward face in front of him, Liu Mang probably guessed that this guy probably quarreled with the old coach in the locker room again, probably because he wanted to play but was not agreed.

Iverson rarely greeted his opponents before a match, and he used to be cold.

However, with the comradeship of working together to do Kobe Bryant on the All-Star Weekend, Iverson looked at Liu Mang differently, and when he greeted Rahim before the game, he also deliberately found Liu Mang who was practicing shooting alone.

Iverson was also puzzled, he knew that Liu Mang had an excellent relationship with Raheem and Jason Terry, why did the news say that the Eagles had many internal contradictions?

"Boss Allen, it's boring not to be able to defeat the 76ers with you." Liu Mang's strength is provocative.

"Hmph, don't rejoice too soon! Let's see you in the East! Iverson said unhappily.

"Cut, it's so big, can you enter the East Duel?" Liu Mang is not so optimistic.

“…… Anything can happen! "Iverson also knows that their strength is not very good this year, but who is not saying it well, you have to have the heart of a championship!

Isn't the Rockets only sixth in the West when they win the championship?

After a while, the American Imperial Anthem was played, the pre-game activities were over, and the Hawks' home game against the 76ers began.

Due to uncertainty whether Iverson will play, the major TV stations were very conservative and did not broadcast today's game.

And then their conservatism was right, and this game, it was boring to play.

The 76ers don't have Iverson, they just play defensive grinding, using Eric Snow's organizational ability, Derrick Coleman, and Raga Bell's long-range shots to be responsible for the offense, and the scene is extremely ugly, plus Matt Harprin, a white tough guy who has a big defensive move, plays like a Pistons in a few years, and the pace is slow and smelly.

And these people's ability to control the rhythm is not strong, and they were soon blinded by the rapid impact of the Hawks, and the rhythm of the game completely entered the high speed that the Hawks wanted, except for the opening two teams grinding for a while, the 76ers started with a score of 7-6 in the half quarter to stifle the fans' viewing experience, Liu Mang came up, and Jason Terry, Rahim, a wave of impact turned the score into 14-9, Liu Mang came up and led the cavalry charge with Jason Terry, and played a small climax of 8 to 2.

The situation was quickly taken over by the Eagles.

Although the cavalry charge was very enjoyable, the one-sided game was not exciting, and the 76ers' defense was very good, very good, and they adjusted from time to time to stumble on the Hawks' counterattack, and the point difference could not be opened.

So it became a two-team grinding rhythm, the Hawks occasionally fought back, and most of the time they still had to grind with the 76ers.

At the end of the first quarter, the Hawks led by seven points at 23-16 and by 11 points at halftime at 46-35.

After the Hawks lost to the Heat, they were very focused and did not give the 76ers, who lacked Iverson's offensive ability, a chance to cut it in half, and kept the lead after taking the lead.

Larry Brown has long expected to play with the team that is now the No. 1 team in the East, without Iverson, he can only rely on the other party to relax, and the opponent does not relax, and there is no bad hand, and he does not have an explosive hand, it is impossible for them to win, so they are not angry when they are behind, otherwise what else can they do?

Most of the people on the Eagles' side are not in a hurry, and the score is ahead, very stable!

Only Liu Mang felt a little hurt, 5 points in the first quarter, 5 points in the second quarter, 7 points in the third quarter, Liu Mang didn't score for a while in the fourth quarter, the 76ers gave up, the Hawks also replaced the main force, and the two teams changed to a water cooler lineup and pecked each other......

17 min......

Liu Mang said that he was so uncomfortable, seeing that his average score per game was already 19.5 points, it would be good if he could get a 20+ stable one......

……

In the end, the game between the first place in the East last season and the first place in the East this season in which Iverson did not play ended with the Hawks beating the 76ers 91-80, and the Hawks won two consecutive victories after losing to the Heat!

Liu Mang's performance of scoring 17 points in the third quarter has become a normal performance in people's eyes, this guy has scored so many points in a single quarter, and people have long been used to it.

After losing, Iverson didn't come to say hello to the Hawks players and left the stadium directly, Liu Mang didn't care or hold a grudge, he knew that this was Iverson's personality trait, and he couldn't wipe his face and came to say hello after losing.

If his personality had become sleek, he would not have been the answer.

……

After playing the 76ers, the Hawks had eight games from No. 17 to No. 31.

First of all, the back-to-back of numbers 17 and 18!

Last time I lost to the Heat, I lost so badly, the Hawks are so angry!

This time the Eagles want revenge!

And with confidence!

Because, on the day he played the 76ers, Ratliff got a certificate of full recovery, but the opponent did not play Iverson, and Coach Krueger let Ratlif rest for one more day, play the 76ers without Iverson, and rush up to beat the opponent is definitely not the opponent.

And against the Heat, the Hawks officially announced at their daily press conference every game that Ratliff will be back!

It's not just the players who hold grudges, the coaches do the same!

However, Pat Riley was happy to hear that Ratliff was coming back, and he was more hopeful than the Hawks that the Hawks would not capsize again......

……

……

This phrase was not a derogatory term at first, but was really used to entertain guests.

The last time the Hawks went to Miami to play, Mourning took his teammates to entertain the Hawks players for a party, and this time the Hawks' boss Raheem also had a party and invited the Heat players.

However, Raheem was not as extreme as Mourning, looking for a gay restaurant, he invited the most famous restaurant in Atlanta, Dolce-Italian, that is, the head chef of the Italian Dolce restaurant, Alan Ingier, who previously worked as the head chef of the Michelin restaurant at Five Forks, to invite the most famous Italian chef in Atlanta to be the head chef.

Of course, out of respect for Mo Ning, there was no alcohol at this party, and Liu Mang also went.

This kind of player's previous party, Liu Mang is slowly getting used to it, mainly to get together with friends and opponents in the league who don't see each other a few times a year, maybe they have a good relationship, they may not have a good relationship, they are all part of NBA socialization. 8)
