Chapter 299: 297. Ruthless New York Fans

It is said that the Lakers fans are optimistic, but the Knicks fans are really optimistic.

Cheer for the team when you win, and cheer for the stars of other teams who come to play when you lose.

Although Liu Mang was upset no matter how he looked at it, when Liu Mang entered the arena, he saw a banner instead...

"Ace, come to the big city and enjoy the spotlight!"

Behind the technical stage, a group of fanatical Knicks fans wearing Ewing's No. 33 jersey held up a large banner.

It would be fine if Knicks fans didn't wear Ewing's jerseys, Liu Mang might still be a little moved.

but……

After 99-00, Ewing was driven away by the Knicks. It's not just that the Knicks management is unkind, but the fans are laughing at the old Ewing.

Optimistic and ruthless.

This is New York fans.

This is the characteristic of this city. I only like the best. The players I like are still praised like my ancestors when they were at their peak. If they fail, they will be abandoned. The richest city in the world also shows the beauty and ugliness of human nature to the fullest. extreme.

Liu Mang waved his hand towards those fans, which drew mixed cheers and boos.

"New York has your fans, too," Jason Terry said sourly.

"Of course, I'm a big star!" Liu Mang laughed.

"cut……"

The Eagles didn't boo and explode as expected when they played. Although some gave them the middle finger, they were generally okay.

When the New York team played, there was no overwhelming cheers as imagined. Just like Ewing's last year in New York, Knicks fans were not satisfied with the performance of Alan Houston, Madman Sprewell and others.

Although it did not reach the Marbury period where almost every game was a situation where fans turned against each other, it was not much better.

Liu Mang finally understands why so many stars want to play away games here. The fans here are...strange...

...

...

The game started. The Eagles' away game against Madison was broadcast live by the United Sports Channel of Time Warner Cable, American Cable and CBS.

"Welcome fans and friends to watch the Atlanta Hawks' away game against the New York Knicks broadcast live by Time Warner Sports TV. Today's guest commentator is me, old Hubie, and Knicks star Bernard. Bernard, Do you think the Knicks can hold on to this home victory?" Hubie Brown said the opening remarks very skillfully, full of air, not at all like a 70-year-old who is frighteningly thin.

How much do the Knicks legends dislike their home team?

It can be seen from Time Warner's guest Bernard King.

The commentary team sent by Time Warner is the famous coach Hubie Brown and Bernard King, who won the first scoring title after the Knicks averaged 32 points per game and was snatched away by Jordan. He is like Elgin Baylor suffered as much as Dominique Wilkins.

However, compared to Baylor and the essence of human movies, Bernard King was still very lucky to grab one before Jordan dominated the scoring list.

Although he was in the Knicks at his peak, Bernard King was not friendly to the Knicks at all: "Wow, maybe, the Knicks may seize the opportunity of the Hawks' center injury to hold the home court, but now the Hawks are not Not the strongest state, when they are the strongest they are number one in the Eastern Conference."

"Maybe you're right, Bernard..." Hubie Brown echoed.

The Knicks fans in front of the TV were already furious. They all felt that Time Warner deliberately opposed the Knicks and sent such a pair.

Hubie Brown and Bernard King used to have a mentoring relationship. The two happened to work in the Knicks at the same time. Hubie Brown led Bernard King to play the best years of his career. , Just after Bernard King won the scoring title, the ligament was ruptured and reimbursed. The Knicks traded Bernard King away and fired Hubie Brown.

And Hubie Brown... was the head coach of the Eagles before, and won the best coach for the first time in his coaching career in the Eagles in the 1970s, so how do you think the Eagles feel good...

In this game, in the live broadcast of Time Warner, which was watched by more people, the Eagles had commentators and guests who favored them for the first time.

...

...

The game has begun.

The Eagles continued to use Alan Henderson to replace the injured Ratliff, and the other four starters remained unchanged. .

The Knicks fielded Mark Jackson, Alan Houston, Sprewell, Kurt Thomas and Osella Harrington.

Raheem went to the jump ball this time. Alan Henderson and Muhammad lost the jump ball several times before. Raheem said that it is better to come on buddies.

After a lapse of ten days, the Eagles finally won the jump ball again. Raheem won the jump ball over Harrington's head, and the Eagles went first.

After the opening, Raheem and Jason Terry played a small offensive climax, and the two joined hands to start a wave of 8-2.

But the good times didn't last long. When Sprewell began to rush into the Eagles' inside line, Sprewell, who was extremely powerful in sudden shots, caused consecutive kills. Since Ratliff was not around, Muhammad had to take on more defensive tasks. Sim's single defense against Sprewell was fine, but he couldn't stand the madman who broke out when he returned to the big city of New York. Rahim and Muhammad played half of the first quarter, and they fouled twice.

On Liu Mang's side, he was still thinking about what kind of performance would be the most dazzling person on the court, when he saw his two main frontcourt players rushing to the street.

Rahim wanted to show too much, and was seized by the old-fashioned and calm maniac to cause consecutive fouls and fell into a foul crisis.

Generally speaking, when Liu Mang comes on the court after the official timeout in the first quarter, Raheem and Jason Terry let go of the game in the previous period. The coach should not only consider the best combination of players, but also Also consider the emotions of the star players and increase their shots appropriately.

And Liu Mang is almost becoming a "ball master". From the scene, it really looks like a black hole, holding the ball for a long time.

However, the score has been overtaken by the Knicks, and the Eagles are already two points behind 11 to 13. Coach Kruger can only call a timeout for substitutions.

Liu Mang didn't want to understand what the so-called most dazzling star on the court meant, so he stopped thinking about it, the game is important! The coach called a timeout, which meant that Xiaoye was about to play!

It's really delaying my thinking!

Seeing Rahim and Muhammad walking towards the bench with disgruntled faces, Liu Mang said loudly: "Oh, Sharif, Nazr, you have let me down so much! It seems that I still have to be the greatest The rookie from here comes to save you!"
