Chapter 641 Lost streak
"Meng, I didn't expect you to lose to me one day, hahahaha..." On November 2005, 11, Atlanta Phillips Arena led the Atlanta Hawks to defeat the Pacers at home. Mike Budenholzer is pulling Meng Xu and chatting about "homework" with a happy face. Obviously, Mike Budenholzer is very excited about the victory over Meng Xu and the Pacers. For any ambitious Eastern Conference player As far as the team is concerned, Meng Xu and the Pacers are their number one targets.

Mike Budenholzer, who resigned because of conflicts between team building ideas and the Warriors, took over the mess of the Atlanta Hawks this season and became the new head coach of the Hawks. With the support of general manager Billy Knight, Mike Budenholzer made a drastic transformation of the Eagles, gave up a large number of players who did not meet his tactical requirements, and then used a sign-and-trade approach to poach Joe Johnson from the Suns, supplemented by Stephen- Johnson, Josh Smith, Travis Hansen, Boris Diaw, and this season's No. 4 pick Marvin Williams, the Atlanta Hawks quickly rejuvenated in the new season. In the [-] games, the Atlanta Hawks actually achieved a complete victory and ranked first in the East, and they also defeated the Pacers who were the number one in the East last season at home today. Today's victory, but Mike Budenholzer alone It was the first time in his coaching career that he defeated the team led by Meng Xu, so after the game, when Meng Xu came to say hello to him, Mike Budenholzer also had a good "prestige".

"Mike, you're so proud of yourself!" Compared to Mike Budenholzer, who is in the limelight, Meng Xu is in trouble now. Because a large number of main players have been suspended, the Pacers' performance after the start of the new season The record is in a mess. First, in the opening game against the Heat, the Pacers lacked Meng Xu, Jermaine O'Neal, James Posey, and Tony Allen. Meng Xu, who led the team alone, led the Pacers to lose to the Nets in a row. The Cavaliers lost to the Eagles in an away game today. They lost four games in a row. Meng Xu can already imagine that since the offseason Those New York media who have been staring at their spraying, what kind of uproar will they cause tomorrow.

Because Jermaine O'Neal is still in the suspension period, in the few games after Meng Xu's comeback, the Pacers' tactics are basically Meng Xu singles with the ball, so in the games against the Nets and Cavaliers, Meng Xu Xu always won the data but lost the game, a 40+10, a 30+ triple-double, in terms of personal data, Meng Xu defeated LeBron James and Vince Carter, but it was useless and lost In the competition, no matter how good the data is, people will be questioned about the data, especially those media who are indiscriminately blackmailing Meng Xu. Now they have started to make a big fuss about this matter. Because of O'Neal, Meng Xu couldn't even win.

In today's game, Jermaine O'Neal, who has paid for the lifting of the ban, seems to have not found the feeling of the game, and the head coach of the Eagles, Mike Budenholzer, also played a new trick, making a frantic package on Meng Xu. Clipping, from Stephen Johnson, Josh Smith, to Joe Johnson, to Josh Childress, Marvin Williams, several swingmen of the Atlanta Hawks, one counts as one, all wheel battles , took turns to play and constantly consumed Meng Xu. When Meng Xu was crazy double-teamed and the Pacers' inside core Jermaine O'Neal felt bad, the Eagles defeated the Pacers at home by 8 points.

The start of the four-game losing streak is already the worst start for the Pacers in the past dozen seasons. Considering that the Pacers will set off for the West next time, they will be a guest on the site of the top three in Texas. The away game will face the Spurs. The Bulls, the Rockets, the three teams, so the Pacers' losing streak is likely to continue. As the No. It is definitely a big news, so how to avoid continuing the losing streak has become the primary problem that Meng Xu and the Pacers must face now. When they think of playing the Spurs away, the Pacers have no confidence. Especially Jermaine O'Neill, who has been educated by Tim Duncan for many years, even mentions Tim Duncan.

"My journey has just begun. Unlike you, I have four rings in my hands at a young age." Mike Budenholzer followed the Spurs as an assistant coach and won two championships, but as the head coach, Mike Budenholzer's coaching career was not very successful. He just led the Warriors to a little bit of improvement, but was pulled from the bottom by the Wizards. After Arenas was robbed by the Wizards, the Warriors' management simply broke the pot He completely abandoned the lineup and tactics that Mike Budenholzer had painstakingly managed, and directly chose to rebuild. Mike Budenholzer, who did not want to watch the Warriors fall, could only choose to resign in the end, but Fortunately, after a season of rest, Mike Budenholzer ushered in a chance to flex his muscles and became the head coach of the Atlanta Hawks, and now it seems that Mike Budenholzer did what he did. It’s also very good, maybe the Eagles will be able to return to the playoffs this season. Of course, for Mike Budenholzer, the playoffs are just the lowest goal, and the finals and the championship are his. final goal.

"Hahaha, Mike, I'm sure, you won't be able to get out of the East if I'm here one day. See you in Indianapolis." After gently hugging Mike Budenholzer, Meng Xu said something Mike Budenholzer was very upset, and then walked into the player channel without looking back.

"This bastard." After cursing with a smile, Mike Budenholzer turned around and greeted the group of boys under his command. This group of young boys was once again seen by Mike Budenholzer Hope and the future also made Mike Budenholzer think of the youth army he organized in the Warriors, but Mike Budenholzer also knew in his heart that he wanted to lead this group of inexperienced boys to win the championship , I still have a long way to go. The Pistons and the Heat are all hurdles that I need to get over, especially the Pacers. As Meng Xu said just now, as long as Meng Xu's Pacers still exist for a day, they It is a mountain that all Eastern teams are difficult to overcome.
