From today on is the king

Chapter 28 28. Sleeping together?

Many fans at the scene held small signs that said the opening three-game winning streak. The Eagles hadn’t won the opening three-game winning streak for many years, almost 10 years. The last three-game winning streak was in the 92-93 season. After Dominique Wilkins ruptured his Achilles tendon, he returned as the king.

From the ancient times of the NBA in the 50s, the Eagles had 5 finals in 4 years and won a championship. At other times, the Eagles have always been in the same state as they are now.

This time the Eagles may win another three-game winning streak after a lapse of 9 years. The fans are very excited, and the atmosphere at the scene is very enthusiastic.

The Knicks' outside trio is very strong, but the inside is scumbag.

Originally, after the Knicks did not renew the contract of Patrick Ewing, the strongest center in team history, they invested a lot of money to introduce Marcus Camby, a first-class center of the 96 golden generation.

Therefore, the inside configuration that the Eagles depend on for survival has become the key today.

Knicks starters: Mark Jackson, Alan Houston, Sprewell, Kurt Thomas, Colence Wisep.

The Eagles' starting lineup remains the same: Dean Grove, Jason Terry, Rahim, Muhammad, Ratliff.

After the game started, the Eagles undoubtedly had the upper hand.

In this era when defense is king, the Eagles, which have a clear advantage inside, are even stronger defensively. Although the Knicks' outside trio is very strong, they can't stand the inside disadvantage.

Kurt Thomas is okay, he is the same type as Muhammad, and his strength is about the same, but there is a big gap between Colence Weisep and Ratliff.

Speaking of Korens Weisep, I have to mention how amazing the Knicks' vision is.

Last year, Colence Weisep averaged 11 points and 10 rebounds per game during his contract year with the Cavaliers. The Knicks couldn't wait to throw out a five-year 5 million fat contract to dig it up.

You must know that Colens Weisep was born in 1970, and he was 31 years old last year. Obviously, he worked hard to get a big contract with a bad team like the Cavaliers. Scott Layden of the Knicks, an academic romantic general manager, really took the bait and threw out a five-year contract.

In the first two games this year, Korens Weisep scored a total of 6 points and 10 rebounds, which perfectly demonstrated what is meant by the self-cultivation of a player in a contract year.

Since the Knicks have Alan Houston and Madman, as well as Mark Jackson, who has excellent promotional and organizational skills, the two insiders are short and can play very beautiful offensive basketball. Therefore, the Hawks slowed down the tempo very slowly.

Although the fans watched their team control the rhythm and take the initiative on the field, it was very boring!
At this time, some fans discovered a very miraculous thing, Liu Mang was closing his eyes on the Hawks bench.

Asleep again?
The fans at the scene felt that their second-round pick was enough...but they didn't seem to be sleeping, because they didn't lean on the bench, but sat with their backs straight, their hands on their thighs, eight fingers crossed, palms up, and they seemed to be muttering something.

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

Liu Mang looked at Emmanuel with a serious expression: "I'm praying to God to bless Jason to beat Alan Houston as soon as possible, or Alan Houston will blow us up, and we will have playing time."

Liu Mang was obviously teasing Emmanuel. He just closed his eyes and was thinking about how to deal with Alan Houston in case he played. As for the posture, it was completely a habit. In his previous life, he heard that it is easier to grow taller if you don’t hunched over while sitting. Although this is false, but a good habit has been formed, but Emmanuel actually took it seriously!
"Great idea! Let's come together!" Emmanuel imitated Liu Mang's posture and began to murmur.

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

The cool guy with braided hair on the side, Newbell, has not spoken, but has been listening to the two talking, hesitated for a moment, and then made the same gesture as the two.

Substitute small forward Alan Henderson turned his head and looked, good guy, three teammates of the same level all took the same pose. Is this our team's new bench pose?You three are dishonest!They are all small substitutes, don't you count us?
So Alan Henderson got together and made the same pose.

Veteran Kukoc was chatting and laughing with veteran teammate Dick Simpkins, who won three consecutive championships with the Bulls. He recalled the glorious years, and turned around to find four young teammates posing.
Depend on!
Do not call Uemoto a handsome guy for posing!

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

slowly……

All the attention on the scene was focused on the second team on the Hawks bench...

What are these five guys... doing?Performance Art?
Still not interested in boring games?Close your eyes and don't look?
Five people sleeping together?

No playing time, in silent protest?
No one paid any attention to the game, and the fans started chattering and chatting. It was okay for one or two people to discuss. When more than 8000 people were chattering, the audience was buzzing, and the fun was great. The Eagles were attacking.

Coach Kruger was still wondering what happened on the scene at first. Looking back, he saw his five players, from the young Liu Mang at the end of the bench, to the old fritter Kukoc at the end of the other bench, plus three main substitutes. The five of them were posing, and suddenly became angry. Taking advantage of Jason Terry's mistake, they immediately called a timeout.

Coach Kruger was furious. The game was tight. The Knicks were relying on Alan Houston's excellent running position and mid-range shots to keep the score tight. The Eagles didn't dare to be careless at all and couldn't make mistakes, or they might be overtaken, but their own bench was doing something.

Kukoc?It's not easy to scold celebrities.

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

Newbell... scolding the cool guy who won't respond for a long time.

Alan Henderson, to be honest, Coach Kruger doesn't believe that he will do something, he must have been led astray.

That is Liu Mang, the careless disciple!

Coach Kruger roared, "Ace, what are you doing!"

Liu Mang was thinking about how to defend against Alan Houston, when he was suddenly yelled at, he stood up in fright, looked at the source of the voice, and found that the coach was staring at him with a livid face.

Hey?

Not only that, but Liu Mang felt like he was being stared at by tens of thousands of eyes. Only then did he realize that almost all the fans in the audience were staring at him!
Depend on!
What's the matter!

Why don't you just close your eyes and rest for 2 minutes, looking at the young master?
