They tried their best to raise their fighting spirit to the highest level before the game, facing this game with an almost dream-like mentality. However, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment!

In the second quarter, the Knicks originally had a pretty good offense in the second half of the first quarter. After the start of the second quarter, they faced the obviously weaker Eagles, Jason Terry and Korver.

I replaced both Liu Mang and Prince, and the Knicks' offense got even worse!

For three full minutes at the beginning of the second quarter, the Knicks didn't score a point. It was all a matter of iron!

The Eagles went on an 8-0 scoring climax, opening the point difference to 24 points!

Later, thanks to Marbury and Anfernee Hardaway's reckless play, the Hawks' momentum gradually declined, and the scores of the two teams began to enter a very balanced state. The Hawks relaxed and played

, and the Knicks were on par with each other for a long time in the game.

However, this makes the Knicks players feel even more miserable.

Even Marbury began to doubt his life. The Eagles acted like they were having fun and didn't even score!

The main reason is that Kurt Thomas, the strongest inside player in the Knicks, was completely locked up by Rasheed Wallace's more vicious playing style and scarier face!

At the end of the third quarter, the point difference was still more than 20 points. The Eagles led the Knicks by 81 to 56, 25 points ahead!

Liu Mang played three quarters, playing 29 minutes, 11 of 17, 2 of 5 three-pointers, 6 successful counterattacks, 9 of 11 free throws, 33 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists in the three quarters!

In the last quarter, the Hawks replaced Jason Terry and brought a lineup of Korver, Barnes, Muhammad, and Kwame Brown to play garbage time.

The Knicks no longer had the motivation to trick the Hawks into replacing the main force, and they were completely defeated!

Marbury, who played the first three quarters, had 15 points, 2 rebounds and 6 assists. Anfernee Hardaway had 18 points and 4 assists. It seemed that the two outsiders were okay, but Marbury made 6 of 17 shots! Anfernee Hardaway had 18 points and 4 assists.

Wei made 7 of 20 shots, and both of them shot less than 40%!

Marbury was originally the one with the most fighting spirit, but after the game, it was Marbury who felt the most miserable!

In the end, relying on Liu Mang's performance of 33 points, 4 assists and 2 rebounds in three quarters, the Hawks easily defeated the Knicks with a 107-83, 24-point advantage in the opening game of the playoffs and won their first playoff victory!

There is almost no suspense. In addition to the Hawks being beaten unexpectedly by Anfernee Hardaway at the beginning, Liu Mang is expected to be the background of two top five players, and one is the opponent's background and the other is the teammate's background. The Knicks can

The pressure on Liu Mang was very small.

The strength gap between the two teams is too big!

After the game, the Eagles players returned to the locker room happily. It was almost 12 o'clock. They should ice it and take a shower and go back early. The first game was the last opener. Like the Lakers, the Eagles

One game is actually the most tiring of the eight-round series. The current playoff schedule is tighter. There are four games every day in the first round. There are no longer as many series as before where the players can easily finish the series of higher-ranked teams.

Let’s talk about taking a day off. Now there are more games in the first round, and with the experience of last season, the league now has four games every day in the first four games of the first round.

The Hawks have finished playing the Knicks today and have a day off. They will play the Knicks again on the 20th. Although it is an easy win, the Hawks' goal is: to go all out in a game where they can beat the opponent and beat the opponent until they can fight back.

desire.

We have to play the Knicks away from home later, so in the first two games, we not only have to win, but we also have to win beautifully! Beat the opponent until they doubt their lives!

After playing his first game with the Knicks, Liu Mang finally understood why the rewards for the Knicks' Avengers series of missions were so "exciting". There was almost no difference between having and not having the Knicks' 2003-04 star card.

People say that Garnett has never made it past the first round. In fact, the same goes for Marbury. Even in his original time and space, apart from playing in the second round with the Celtics in the 2008-09 season, in the previous ten years of his career, he has

He has never made it to the second round. In this time and space, he is even more miserable. He met Liu. In addition to playing in the playoffs in his rookie season and sophomore year, Marbury is now playing in the playoffs for the third time, because Liu

Mang Xiao changed Yao Ming's progress trajectory, and Marbury was "deprived" of a chance to play in the playoffs by Liu Mang.

This time Marbury came with great ambitions, but after this game, he felt that his ambitions had been trampled on!

What Liu Mang wants is to crush Marbury's fighting spirit!

The NBA is a very cruel place. Compared with the 1980s and the early 1990s, the average NBA career length has doubled at the beginning of the century, but the average length is only 4.1 years.

This is a league of the jungle. Liu Mang will never sympathize with his opponents, especially in the playoffs!

Sympathy for the opponent is cruelty to oneself. Liu Mang entered the East finals two years in a row and was killed two years in a row. How could the opponent ever sympathize with him? On the competition field, especially in the playoffs, Liu Mang never thought of sympathizing with the opponent.

Just like he wants to sweep the Pistons every time, facing this team that has been in the Eastern Conference finals for six consecutive years, Liu Mang wants to beat them now in order to prevent them from becoming stronger and more difficult to deal with in the future.
