From Today it is the King of the Basketball

March 31, 2003, the locker room of the New York Madison Square Garden visitors.

The Eagles players are ready to start a new chapter!

There was no madness in the night when I lost to the Bulls two days ago, there was no quiet impetuous heart to practice the brush character to cultivate sentiment, nor did I go to watch the high school students dunk performance to relax.

The moment he stepped into Madison Square Garden, Liu Mang and his teammates felt the enthusiasm of New York fans. Especially when the two teams started to enter, the sky of boos seemed to cover them up.

The fans in New York are very interesting, the record is not good, they do n’t boo their team ’s players, but cheer for their opponents. For example, last year, the Knicks had a bad record. When Liu Mang came here to score 41 points, the fans turned to Liu. Cheer.

However, the Knicks suddenly broke out in the middle of the season this year, and there was hope of losing the playoffs. Although the hope is not great, but anyway, it is hope, especially last season they originally thought that Alan Houston ’s billion dollar contract was A junk contract given by the team, I did n’t expect Alan Houston to have the best performance of his career at the age of 32 this year, better than the Pistons and Grant Hill, and the peak performance of the Knicks a few years ago. Brought hope to the Knicks fans. I feel that this season's playoffs are not hopeful because the first half of the season is not played well. It is appropriate to enter the playoffs next season, because their winning percentage in the second half of the season is reached. 63%, only a little worse than the Hawks ’65% win rate in the second half of the season, only because they“ recovered ”a month later than the Hawks, they are only 4-5 worse than the Hawks. This is a win, otherwise it is likely that they are in the eighth position.

So now the Knicks fans have become the most "loyal" fans, full of hostility to the visiting Hawks, especially because Liu Mang's rampage here last season, so they still have the past hatred.

As the Knicks beat the Hawks twice on two road breaks this month, they gave the Knicks fans more confidence!

The loss was that Liu Mang had already felt the enthusiasm of New York fans yesterday. Otherwise, he was really uncomfortable. The New Yorker was so fickle. Last year, he was called Xiao Tian Tian, ​​and he booed this year.

In addition to very enthusiastic fans, and opponents are very welcoming, the Knicks are overwhelmed by emotions, the Knicks owners and players are in shame! Because they felt "humiliation" again yesterday!

Since 1986, in addition to occasionally being held in Los Angeles or Washington, as long as the McDonald ’s All-Star Game is held in Madison Square Garden, the opening guests are the Knicks star, 1986 is the Knicks star Bernard Gold , Became Ewing in 1988, and then Ewing for several years. After 2000, it became Alan Houston. Last season, Alan Houston was also the opening guest.

When the McDonald's All-Star Game was still held in New York this year, Alan Houston had already done a good job in his career. As a "success model" in the eyes of high school players, he took the 100 millionth After playing the best performance of his career in two years, he confidently thought that his peak period had just arrived. When Jordan was 33 years old and he entered the theoretically most unsolved time, he was a pitcher. Alan Houston is also very confident. , I have just reached the peak.

However, the McDonald's All-Star Game was held in New York, and the opening guests were actually Eagles players!

This is just hitting Alan Houston!

The Eagles went to watch the game yesterday. They didn't take it seriously, but the Knicks were different. They just felt humiliated.

When the Knicks players were interviewed before the game today, they criticized the McDonald ’s All-Star Game organizers for not respecting them, and Dolan announced that he would not provide a venue for the future. The Hawks players only knew that this matter The Sri Lankan team pays so much attention. I didn't expect the Knicks to become more hostile to them. It was simply a disaster. They didn't get a penny, and they got five tickets. It was a pot in the sky.

But ...

The Hawks do n’t care about the hostility of the Knicks players or their bosses. They originally wanted revenge here, which will definitely make the Knicks players uncomfortable. In that case, let them be hostile!

Liu Mang practiced shooting while enjoying boos. After the pre-game preparation time was over, he returned to the bench, chatted with Boozer and waited for the game to start. He didn't care about boos at all.

Liu Mang and Boozer talked and laughed, not only made the fans irritated, but also the Knicks players were so angry that they could n’t get Liu Mang.

Liu Mang just likes to see his opponent's feeling of hating him but not killing him, just like the thrill of running in the other party's hostility.

On the Hawks, Jason Terry, Prince, Rahim, Mohamed, and Ratliff still start.

The Knicks sent Howard Ashley, Alan Houston, Sprewell, Kurt Thomas and Othella Hannington.

Generally speaking, after the game starts, the two sides start to do their own pre-match actions and other things, the boss of the home team will come to say hello to the opponent's starter, high-five or punch.

Even Kobe, he would come up and clap his hands with Rahim, the relationship between them is not bad.

But the Knicks said no this time!

No one took the initiative to say hello to the Hawks players, directly ignoring the scene of "Friendship first game second", the two teams are hostile like this, although the Knicks are unilaterally hostile, the Eagles have nowhere to go. Treat the Knicks as a competitor, but they have already torn their faces. The Knicks do n’t give face, and the Eagles do n’t want to give face!

Originally, the Hawks were unhappy about losing to the Knicks in the previous two times when the Hawks almost couldn't hold up. Now they want to kill the Knicks more firmly, they use this game to start the playoffs. status!

Jump the ball!

Ratliff and Hannington came to the center of the court. The referee blew the whistle at the beginning of the game and threw the ball into the air. Ratliff won the jump ball with obvious height and wingspan advantage.

The Hawks first attacked, and the start was still handed to Rahim.

Most of the time, the start of Rahim Chi was unfavorable, and then helped the Hawks starting lineup to open the situation.

However, this time Rahim just landed on the inside and Spreeville's fierce top defense made Rahim very uncomfortable!

Sprewell, aside from his personality, is indeed a good player. Especially this year is his contract year. Both sides of the offense and defense have played the feeling of giant players. People only saw Alan Houston's bright performance on the offensive end. The outbreak of the Knicks in the second half of this year was due to Alan Houston playing well ~ www.readwn.com ~ but did not see the contribution of this enchanting man with the same braided braids.

This year, Sprewell played a very good defensive performance and became the defensive gate of the Knicks defender. Otherwise, Alan Houston and Howard Isley, who was originally only a substitute for Mark Jackson, are at most average defense. Defensively, the Knicks cannot possibly win more than 60% in the second half of the season.

Rahim was difficult to catch the ball because of Spreville's rough forward movement, mainly because he was not prepared at all. When the two teams met two times this season, Rahim was not there!

And the other small forwards of the Eagles are not low-post singles, and they are not the main points of attack, it is not Sprewell defending them at all, so I do n’t know Spreville will be so rude when defending in the low position.

Jason Terry saw Rahim's trouble there, so he came by himself!

The defender of Jason Terry is Aisley. Before this season, he played eight seasons with fewer than 50 starts. This year, he was very lucky. Mark Jackson was sent off by the Knicks in the second round. He became the starter. This year is really hard, especially in the second half of the season.

Asley's defensive ability is not very good, but very active! Especially today, the entire Knicks are very desperate. Asley gave Jason Terry a lot of interference. Jason Terry missed the first emergency stop jumper!

Running together with the Rockets' Francis to form the Texas Twins combination, Hannington leaned on a fat body to squeeze away Muhammad, stuck in position to grab a defensive rebound!

The Knicks are a bit fierce today!
