Standing pretty old

Chapter 511 Kidnapping by public opinion and clarifying the target

Losing in a long season is extremely normal, and back-to-back losses to Western powerhouses like the Mavericks and Spurs are also reasonable, and there is nothing to complain about.

The crux of the problem is that the loss was too inopportune!

Before the three-game breakout, Ruan Erniu just blew it out, and the three-way matchup immediately lost two games. More importantly, they no longer had an advantage over the Cavaliers in terms of record. This is for the defending champion , is where the greatest pressure lies.

When you win, it is natural that everything is long live, but when you lose, all kinds of people will jump out to find you.

ESPN was the first to stand up: "The Eagles are indeed a good team, but they rely too much on Kraft Nguyen alone, and their overall strength is not as strong as everyone imagined.

In the two away games just lost, the Celestials averaged only 26+14+4, which is good enough, but even so, it still couldn’t help the team win. This only shows that the Eagles are extremely dependent on the Celestials. If he doesn't score 30+20+6, the team's victory cannot be guaranteed at all. "

Some criticize the Hawks as a whole, while others criticize Ruan Erniu himself.

Not long ago, Jaylen Ross, who had been poisoned in the media, once again regained his true colors. He pointed out clearly that Kraft Nguyen was the one who was most responsible for the reason why the Eagles were caught up by the Cavaliers. .

"This season, we have been praising the super data won by the Chinese, but what I want to say is that one of the prerequisites for him to win the super data is the sacrifice and help of his teammates. Joe Johnson is definitely an average player who can get A player with 20+ points, but his current scoring average is only 18+. After Josh Smith changed to the 4th position, he still failed to get double figures in rebounds per game. People, and lost the opportunity to brush the rebound.

And how did the Celestials do it?He set an unprecedented 40+30+20 on the underdog Knicks, a record that cannot be broken for 20 years or even longer, but what's the point?The Hawks immediately lost back-to-back to the long-awaited Mavericks.

It can be said that Kraft Nguyen put his personal data before the interests of the team, which is the real reason why the Hawks will lose two of the three away games. "

Not to mention, Jaylen Rose said it really well, and his words really got the approval of many fans.

The Eagles' record is still the league's first, but some people have already begun to talk about whether Ruan Erniu is a cancer brush.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, Jaylen Rose's statement is simply untenable.

In the games against the Mavericks and Spurs, Ruan Erniu was troubled by fouls, and it was difficult to help the team when his playing time was limited. If he was given enough time to collect statistics, the Hawks might not lose.

Speaking of the data that drags down teammates, in fact, this is a very normal thing. Any team that wants to compete for the championship must have someone willing to sacrifice their own data to assist.

Pippen was able to score superstar-like statistics without Jordan, but when he was with Jordan, he still had to restrain his edge and focus on defense.

If they are unwilling to make sacrifices, or if they are scrupulous about each other, they can only be like Bibby in the 07-08 season when he first arrived at the Eagles.

But it’s useless to say these things now. The NBA is an arena where the winner is king. If you lose, you lose. Only the winner deserves to enjoy various honors.

Besides, Ruan Erniu is a Chinese and yellow man after all. He wants to rule the NBA with such a high profile, so there are naturally a group of discriminators who look down on him.

The Hawks had a good record before, and they couldn't find any black spots. Now that the Cleveland Cavaliers are catching up, they are naturally unwilling to continue to be silent. Of course, they have to jump out and mock them severely.

The Eagles who lost the game did not continue to stay in Texas. They flew to Miami overnight. After staying here for two days, they will play the fourth away game with the Heat after the Texas three-way trip.

After that, they will fly back to Orlando to play the fifth away game.

Then, the Hawks can return to Atlanta, end the devil's road trip, and start a sweet home game schedule.

After encountering two waves of ambushes in Texas, the Eagles must adjust their mentality in time to play well in the next two away games.

Woodson held an internal meeting again. In addition to the coaching staff, both Ruan Erniu and Jon Jonson attended the meeting.

Dantou hasn't had such a headache for a long time, and now the pressure is all on Eagle's side. He took the initiative to say: "Let's talk about your own opinions!"

Larry Drew said: "The schedule is quite unfavorable to us. This is our third back-to-back. After the Knicks and the Mavericks, after the Rockets and the Spurs, after the Heat and the Magic, did the league do it on purpose? The previous opponents were relatively weak, but the second opponent immediately rose to a higher level, and they were all on the road."

Van Exel also added: "Larry and I both mean this. Are we going to replace the main force as soon as possible after we win the Heat, and save our energy to deal with back-to-backs?"

After thinking for a while, Jon Jonsen said: "So how can we ensure that the game against the Heat can be won smoothly? I think it is better to try our best to win the game of the day. Of course, we should also try our best to win the game the next day. "

……

Everyone expresses their views, only one person has not yet expressed his opinion.

Woodson said: "Kraft, you are the only one missing, let's talk about it!"

Ruan Erniu leaned on the table with his elbows, rested his chin with his palms, and said with a smile: "How do you say? I am very grateful to you all for your troubles for my regular season MVP. I can only express my gratitude. Apart from that, I have nothing to express It's gone."

As soon as Er Niu finished speaking, everyone was stunned, and it took a while to recall.

Yup!

The primary goal of the Hawks is to defend the championship. Even if they want to fight for the top spot in the regular season, they don't need to care too much about the gains and losses in this one or two games.

Ever since the Celestials came into existence, the Eagles have strictly demanded themselves according to the standards of a strong team, but they have long forgotten the painful fact of losing streak in the previous two seasons.

It's not that the Eagles have no experience in losing, let alone panic for one or two losses.

Obviously, now this Eagles team has been kidnapped by the media, and they are improving too fast.

From a team that couldn't even make it to the playoffs, suddenly became a championship, and then became the defending champion in the next season as a matter of course. This kind of transition was too fast, and the Hawks themselves were not well prepared.

Ruan Erniu's words woke everyone up. The team's primary goal is not to compete for the first place in the regular season record, but to successfully defend the championship. If this is the case, why care about winning or losing a game or two? Even if the Cavaliers catch up ?The Eagles can go at their own pace and pace.

"What about you? What about your MVP goal?" Woodson said.

All eyes were on Er Niu's face, this was a problem that Ruan Er Niu, as the Eagle King and the most privileged figure in the team, could not avoid.

Ruan Erniu was not going to evade this question, he said bluntly: "MVP just let it be, we win the championship again is the first!"

　Thanks for the reward of Walking in the Night!
