Chapter 578
The Hawks beat the Raptors 109 to 93 to win the opening three-game winning streak, but it did not cause much reaction.
The Eagles started off with an easy schedule, but the Magic and Raptors, two potential playoff teams, suddenly collapsed. The three teams they encountered at the beginning were more than one, and the Eagles lost. There are still a few points that may hit the headlines, and none of them pop up after winning.
Of course, this is mainly about the basketball world in the United States. The domestic imperial courts are now very friendly to their own players who go overseas to play. They praise them when they win, and encourage them when they lose. Zhou Qi, who couldn't get on the show, didn't have any negative news on the TV station representing the country, but mostly encouraged it.
Of course, it’s hard to say about forums and portals. Maybe no matter how well played, there will be a bunch of hackers.
The main thing is the United States. The Eagles have been good enough in the past two years. Unless they go further, they have strengthened their lineup and played against such a weak opponent. In addition to mentioning that the Eagles have won three consecutive victories, there is more than one comment. It's hard to give.
But if they lose, there will be a lot of criticism for miscalculating signings and so on.
But because of this, the Eagles got time to develop insignificantly in silence.
On the morning of the second day after the game against the Raptors, Liu Mang took a shower after training, had breakfast, and was about to leave for the airport. Next, the Eagles had a five-game winning streak, and tomorrow and the day after tomorrow they will welcome The first back-to-back away game of the season, playing the Hornets and the Sonics, two teams that are considered to have the strength of the playoffs, especially the Hornets started this year very well, so the Eagles set off at nine o'clock in the morning, Arrive at the away game early, you can have a good rest and get ready for the game.
Just when Liu Mang went back to the room to pack his luggage, he saw that his backpack had been packed, and Alexia also took a big box and packed his coat, jacket, sneakers and so on.
"Aida, you don't need to bring so many things, I'm wearing them." Liu Mang said speechlessly when he saw that Alexia seemed to be packing all his coats into the box.
"You have to go out for more than ten days, how can you only have that one coat, you are a big star now." Although Alexia also felt that it was a bit exaggerated, she had already stuffed seven or eight coats, but she couldn't help complaining Liu Mang said that he picked and kept five sets, so that Liu Mang could wear different coats when he went to each away game, but after emptying the coats, he stuffed a few warm underwear in, "The weather in the north is cold, You need to wear more clothes when you go out."
"Aida, why are you like my mother, who loves to worry so much?" Liu Mang felt something was wrong. He had seen his mother's character when he returned in Xia Tian.
Liu Mang's complaint was beyond his expectation, Alexia was actually very happy when he heard this complaint: "Really? Is it similar?"
"..."
"..."
...
Liu Mang was carrying a backpack and dragging a big box and drove to the airport first. Now the villa where Liu Mang lives, Dinah’s school, and Phillips Arena, the three places are basically a triangle with similar distances from each other, so except Picking them up to watch the game, Alexia drove Dinah to school by herself in the morning.
After Liu Mang left, Dinah, who had finished her breakfast, came to Alexia's side.
"Teacher, you have been very kind to uncle recently!" Dinah said sourly.
"Have you? Haven't I always been nice to your uncle?" Alexia smiled, "Have you finished your breakfast? Go and change, we're going to school."
"No, no, teacher, you have been very nice to uncle recently..."
...
...
New Orleans, very close to Atlanta, is the easternmost team in the Southwest Division. For the time being, it is still playing in the Eastern Conference, because the Eastern Conference has already put on the schedule, and Joe, who was kicked out by the Wizards, is unwilling. , preparing to build a team by himself to dominate the NBA again, but he doesn’t have that much money. The Charlotte government and the league have already started building the arena with Time Warner Cable, but he needs to pay tens of millions of dollars every year to find a guarantee The salary of the knife and the local tyrants who pay the "membership fee" that is now as high as 150 million US dollars.
Charlotte established an NBA team again, which was promised by the league when the Hornets moved out of Charlotte. The Hornets still play the schedule of the teams in the Southeast Division. It is also for this reason that they have to wait for another team. The team to make up for the impact of their move.
At eleven o'clock in the morning, the Eagles arrived at the Royal Sonesta Seaside Hotel in New Orleans. The coaching staff asked the players to rest by themselves. People go to lunch.
As for other teammates, there are restaurants they want to go to or people who have a good relationship with the Hornets have made an appointment to get together before the game.
Liu Mang asked the lady at the front desk to send a chartered car from the car rental company that the hotel cooperates with.
After getting in the car, the driver asked Liu Mang and others where they were going. Jason Terry was also very curious, where Liu Mang wanted to take them to eat so excitedly today, and asked, "Ace, what do you want?" Where are you going to invite us to dinner today?"
"Oh, Jason, when you come to New Orleans, of course you have to eat the famous New Orleans grilled wings! I wanted to eat it the last time we were here, but it was raining the last two times we were here, and today is a rare day for good weather, let's try it Taste the local food here!" Liu Mang wanted to taste the fast food that the Zen master grandpa was the image spokesperson, which he only had the opportunity to eat in his extravagant life, what it tastes like in the "birthplace" of the American mainland.
The main reason is that he is now endorsing McDonald's, and he has no chance to eat KFC anymore.
"New Orleans grilled wings?" Not only Jason Terry, but also the driver, Kwame Brown and Boozer all asked in confusion.
New Orleans is a well-known tourist city in the United States, a very famous one. Before the hurricane, the tourism industry here is no worse than that of Miami. It is the most economically developed city in Louisiana, and its per capita income ranks in the forefront of all cities in the United States.
New Orleans' seafood dishes are also famous throughout the United States, but none of them have heard of New Orleans grilled wings.
"Yes, brother, take us to your most famous grilled wings shop!" Liu Mang said to the driver.
"...Sir, I have lived here for more than 30 years, and I have never heard of a famous chicken wing shop..." The driver said weakly, seeing Liu Mang's excitement, he couldn't bear to be shocked.
"..." Liu Mang's head was powered off for a few seconds, "How is it possible! Your chicken wings are so famous... Really?"
Seeing several people shaking their heads resolutely, Liu Mang seemed to have suffered a critical blow.
"Then what is your most famous thing!" Liu Mang asked unwillingly, what if the name of that thing is different between China and the United States!
"The most famous thing here is crayfish!" The driver finally corrected him.
"So you call it 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 Eagles played the first back-to-back game against the Hornets away.
Liu Mang came to the New Orleans arena today with anger. He did not expect that New Orleans really does not have grilled wings. Although eating crayfish is also very refreshing, and the taste is more in line with Chinese tastes, Liu Mang still I am very angry that in a city as big as New Orleans, there is not even a store that sells New Orleans grilled wings!
Blame it all on the Hornets! So Liu Mang is going to spread his anger on the Hornets.
This is Liu Mang's excuse for telling his teammates that he has a lot of fighting spirit. Liu Mang's high fighting spirit is entirely because of the Hornets' best player-Baron Davis.
Ability value is 87, offense is 91, defense is 85, three-pointer is 70, mid-range shooting is 75, layup is 89, passing is 90...
Liu Mang is always so excited when facing strong players in the same position!
After the players from both sides entered the field, the Hornets players felt the strong fighting spirit of the Eagles! Especially Liu Mang, who has been staring at Baron Davis.
Baron Davis was puzzled, when did he provoke that guy?
But doubts turned into doubts, Baron Davis glared at Liu Mang without hesitation. The Hornets have introduced many high-quality substitutes this year while retaining the core lineup, such as Darrell Armstrong, Shi Steve Smith and others, the Hornets are going to do big things this year!
Jamal Mashben played the best performance of his career last season and also played a full-time season. He will only turn 31 at the end of this month and is at his peak. He still averaged 22 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists in the first few games Performance.
Jamal Magloire, a big center in the class of 2000, has grown up in the past two years. After averaging 10+8 per game last season, he averaged 14 points per game in the first few games of this year. Excellent performance on 11 boards.
In addition, Baron Davis, a representative of the Mesozoic point guard who averaged 23 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists per game at the age of 24, and PJ Brown, who is not a top but very active insider, and David Wei Slee, a short, speed-type assault scorer, has a strong starting lineup for the Hornets.
Add to that the sums spent over the summer on Steve Smith from the Spurs and Darrell Armstrong from the Magic, and there's no reason the Hornets wouldn't want to do big things.
This year, the Hornets won 4 consecutive victories at the beginning, tied with the Pacers for the first place in the Eastern Conference, and beat the Eagles with three consecutive victories.
Therefore, this year's Hornets players have confidence, relying on their own strength to win the confidence, and are not afraid of the Eagles at all.
The Eagles attach great importance to this game. The Hornets may be the key opponents to compete for the top spot in the Southeast Division. Well, the Eagles have to pay attention here.
With the end of the pre-match activities and the two teams starting their debut, a war between the representatives of the new generation of point guards and the representatives of the Mesozoic point guards triggered by a chicken wing is about to begin...
