Standing pretty old

Chapter 293 Come back soon
In the two tie-breakers, Er Niu was gearing up and wanted to fight hard, but after the training with his teammates the next day, he drove home alone sadly.

He's suspended and tonight's game has nothing to do with him.

People will never know what is precious until they are lost.

Ruan Erniu was like this. When he got used to calling the shots on the court, sitting quietly in front of the TV and watching the home team's game became a kind of torture for him.

Dr. Han said with a smile: "Someone's body is at home, but his soul is on the court."

Ruan Erniu shook his head and said, "But without a body, my soul can't win the game."

On May 5, US time, Ruan Erniu witnessed a fierce fight at home.

The Atlanta Hawks naturally hope to win another game and go to Detroit with a 2:0 advantage.

But how could the Pistons easily admit defeat?McDyess' injury not only did not break them, but also made them more determined.

The first one to stand up was Rasheed Wallace, this gradually aging guy, finally awakened.

Facing the defense of Zaza Pachulia and Marvin Williams, Wallace shot his defender in the face with his trademark straight arm shot.

单节4投4中，罚球2罚2中的华莱士在首节比赛拿下了10分，3篮板的数据。

The Eagles are very uncomfortable with the offensive rhythm without the second bull.

They used Zaza Pachulia as Ruan Erniu, which was obviously difficult for the strong.

When the ball returned to Jon Jonsen, his efficiency also dropped sharply due to the absence of Er Niu's inside restraint.

If it weren't for Bibby and van Exel, who came off the bench, to continue their lives with three-pointers at the critical moment, the first quarter of the game might be overwhelmed.

Woodson called a timeout in time, but the effect was very mediocre, and the situation on the field did not change completely.

The change of losing a core player is not so easy to adjust. Ruan Erniu is as important to the Eagles as James is to the Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers without James are just the bottom team in the Eastern Conference. With James, the Cavaliers immediately become a very competitive playoff team.

In the same way, if the Eagles didn't have Ruan Erniu, they might just be an ordinary playoff team. They might be able to improve a level or two with occasional outbursts, but if they want to become a team capable of winning the championship, The core role of Ruan Erniu is an indispensable existence.

At the end of the first quarter, at 29:18, the Pistons led away by 11 points.

It's been a long time since Atlanta fans have seen such an aggrieved first quarter. In the past, when Er Niu was on the court, the Chinese rookie always had a way to put the ball into the basket.

Because the data is too brutal, Atlanta fans seem to be used to Ruan Erniu's performance against the sky.That kind of refreshing feeling is exciting.

But today, they didn't really realize how unsmooth the team's operation was without Kraft Nguyen until they fell behind by a big score.

Only then did they really recall the dark years when the Hawks kept losing for several years.

From frugality to luxury is easy, from luxury to frugality.

There are too many happy days, and of course the hard days are even more difficult.

Some impatient fans had already left the field early. In their view, without Kraft Nguyen, the Hawks would have lost all their underpants.

Since this is the case, it is better to take these few hours and do something that makes you happy.

In the second quarter, the two teams once again staged an ugly defensive battle.

Jon Jonson was the player with the highest score in this quarter. He made 3 of 2 shots from the field and 3 of 3 free throws. He scored 7 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist in total.

The two teams fought a defensive battle, and the score naturally couldn't go up. At 21:22, the Hawks only managed to get back 1 point in the second quarter, which was not enough.

At the end of the halftime game, 50:40, the Hawks, who were 10 points behind, still had a chance to counterattack in the second half.

Ruan Erniu also called his teammates to wish him well in the midfield, hoping that they could beat their opponents in the second half and win the game.

However, the third quarter was a complete nightmare for the Eagles.

FMVP Billups stood up. He scored 10 points and 3 assists in a single quarter, leading the Pistons to end the third quarter with a 28-point lead at 16:12.

Before the last quarter started, the score gap between the two teams had widened to 22 points, and at least two-thirds of the audience on the sidelines walked away. No one wanted to witness a massacre.

Eddie Freeman on the sidelines covered his face in pain and couldn't help crying. The home team has not experienced such a tragic defeat this season.

The last quarter was reduced to garbage time, Woodson could not do anything, and replaced the main players early.

The playoffs are not a place to decide the outcome of a game, the series has just begun.

At 22:19, even in the duel between the substitutes, the Hawks did not take advantage of the Pistons.

At 100:75, the Hawks lost to the Detroit Pistons at home by a huge disadvantage of 25 points.

After G1 and G2, the two teams played 1:1. Two days later, they will move to Detroit for G3.

Chauncey Billups played the best in this game. He had a double harvest in this game. On the one hand, he scored 28 points, 7 assists, and 5 rebounds. Before that, he also won the Kennedy Citizenship Award in the 07-08 season.

Fireplace was honored for his philanthropic work in Detroit and his hometown of Denver.

This award is selected by relevant professional basketball expert committees to honor those NBA players or coaches who have made outstanding contributions to society.

The veteran, who played 10 seasons in the NBA, also launched a program called "Why-Can't-I-Go?" (Why I can't go), referred to as WCIG.

In the past 7 years, through the WCIG program, 20-30 impoverished teenagers from Minneapolis went to watch the Pistons game every year, so that they could also participate in the game.

Fireplace's main philanthropic endeavors are still in his hometown of Denver.

There, the fireplace is an honorary lecturer of a comprehensive university. Every summer, he will join the camp with the children, cultivating their leadership, thinking and judgment, teamwork ability and the ability to deal with some emergencies .

The influence of NBA players has never been limited to the basketball court. They can use their own strength to make more contributions to society.

Looking back at this game, Billups still objectively commented: "The Eagles are too dependent on their super rookie, and we need to seize this opportunity. When Kraft Nguyen returns, we should be able to regain the dominant position. right."

Ruan Erniu in front of the TV had the urge to smash the TV with a bottle, but his reason finally defeated his sensibility, and he calmed down.

At this moment, Er Niu is infinitely eager to come back soon, even if it is just a game in advance.

In fact, the Eagles did submit a complaint, but the complaint fell into the sea, and there was no news at all.

Jon Jonson's words best represent the aspirations of the Eagles: "Our MVP is not here, and this is the biggest reason for our loss."

The Atlanta Hawks now belong to the No. [-] team. Whether it is known as the Big Three or the Big Four, there is only one core member of the team, and that is Kraft Nguyen.
