Chapter 696 Achievement of Greatness
It's hard to say who can stop the Eagles, but Atlanta's back-to-back opponents-the Sacramento Kings don't look like that suitable option.

Bibby and Salmons returned to Sacramento, Ruan Erniu met Allen, and Jon Jonson and Lunar Eclipse reunited with Marvin Williams.

As a Sacramento native who has sent key assists for the Eagles for two consecutive seasons, it is undoubtedly the existence that the entire city of Atlanta and even the entire state of Georgia should be grateful for.

The king's unselfish and dedicated internationalism spirit deeply moved the Atlanta fans who have been pursuing the championship for 50 years.

In the locker room of the visiting team, Er Niu even said this: "Save some face for the home team, win less if you can win, don't just win by 20 or 30 points, without them, we can't complete the two consecutive championships. "

To be honest, facing the young king, the Atlanta Hawks in dynasty mode really have the qualifications to release water.

For this game, the starting lineup sent by the Kings is:
C Jason Thompson

PF Marvin Williams
SF Omi Casspi

SG Kevin Martin
PG Tyreke Evans

Evans, who was selected by the king with the fourth overall pick in the first round in 09, is naturally the hope of the king's revival.

However, in the few games after the start of the game, Evans' performance was not stable.

他既可以在比赛中打出20+5+5的惊艳数据，也可以失常到一场比赛只拿下3分，3助攻。

But overall, Evans is still a favorable contender for the best rookie of the season.

And the "Israel Jordan" who was also selected by the Kings with the 23rd pick in the first round - Casspi's ability to take the position so quickly was also beyond some expectations.

However, according to the King's current poor lineup configuration, it is only natural to force Casspi to the starting position.

After all, Allen was pushed to the bench because he couldn't play the fifth position. He couldn't compete with Marvin Williams at the fourth position, and he couldn't compete with Jason Thompson at the fifth position. It was a matter of course that he was pushed to the bench .

In Erniu's view, this might actually be a good thing. Staggering the time with the main force will help Alian to improve his data to a certain extent. In this way, it may help him accumulate chips for the next contract.

The Hawks' starting lineup remains unchanged tonight, except that Dragic continues to replace Bibby as the starting point guard, and the players at other positions have not changed.

The two sides jumped the ball, and Jason Thompson put the ball in Evans' hands first.

The No. [-] James was only a rookie season, but he surpassed Dragic in terms of physical talent. Facing the defense of the claw machine in the half, he forced the ball to the basket.

However, the claw machine did not lose its position. Evans made a decisive attack, but did not get a good shot.

"boom!"

Shots hit the iron.

Er Niu took the rebound in the backcourt and directly slammed the ball into the opponent's half court. Taking advantage of the opponent's unstable foothold, he made a three-point shot.

"brush!"

Er Niu continued the fiery touch of the previous games after the opening, chasing a three-pointer to help the visiting team open the scoring first.

The two sides played quite calmly in the first quarter of the game. You come and go, each has its own gains.

At 26:25, the shooting percentage of the two teams is actually not high, but relatively speaking, the Hawks played more proactively.

The Sacramento people, who started with 1 win and 3 losses, did not show the determination to win at home. They seemed to be satisfied with such a step-by-step game rhythm, and there was a feeling of losing less and winning.

On the other hand, the Eagles also expressed their gratitude to the teams that provided assists for them twice, and did not intend to kill their opponents in one wave.

In the second quarter of the game, the core players of both sides continued to perform brilliantly.

Evans showed his ability to break through, making consecutive kills to the basket, and scored consecutive points under the not-so-strict defense of Er Niu and Lunar Eclipse. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is James in the first position. .

On the other hand, Ruan Erniu and Jiong Jisen also opened up their hands one after another, scoring consecutive points on the offensive end.

In the second half of the second quarter, a Taurus person finally violated his pre-match instructions and began to increase his personal attack.

I don't know whether it's the 5+ scoring record in 50 games that is too tempting, or the weak defense of the Kings, which makes Erniu feel that it is a sin not to score points.

Anyway, the result was halftime, and the Eagles ended the battle with 62:55, leading by 7 points.

At the same time, Ruan Erniu also scored 30 points, 11 rebounds, and 3 assists in the first half.

As long as the Celestials score another 20 points in the second half, he will break Kobe Bryant's scoring record of 4 consecutive 50+ games.

Strictly speaking, among the five teams that the Hawks encountered at the beginning of the 09-10 season, only the Lakers could be regarded as a top team. Objectively, it also left a chance for Er Niu to break the record.

Such things as luck have never been fixed.

Whether it is God, Buddha or Allah, they often only give favor to a few people.

In the second half of the game, Ruan Erniu was double-teamed by the Kings inside.

The people of Sacramento seem to understand that it's okay to lose, and the first season is also a bad one, but the feeling of being the background board is quite uncomfortable.

But do the Kings really have enough presence in the interior to handle the two bulls?
On the offensive end of the Eagles, Ruan Erniu held the ball in a low post, Jason Thompson defended behind him, and Marvin Williams came from the flank to defend.

Er Niu, who held the ball in both hands, shook his shoulders, pretended to make a fake pass, and then immediately chose to take a step back and turn over for a jumper, and hit a 2-pointer against the two defenders.

In the next round, Ruan Erniu held the ball in the middle again. After passing Thompson, he directly dunked Marvin Williams and scored 2+1.

The starting lineup was not working well, so he was replaced by Allen on the bench, and even one of the North Carolina Four Youngsters who was about to be forgotten - Sean*I'm just a little fat*Mei?

Same useless!
A Lian couldn't stop Er Niu's impact at all, Sean Mei was able to stop inside with his weight, but Er Niu turned around to pass him, and it didn't look much different from passing a wooden stake.

After the third quarter, the score of the two teams came to 97:87.

In fact, the Kings didn't play badly at all, but they met the stronger Atlanta Hawks.

Ruan Erniu's personal explosion also weakened the integrity of the Eagles to a certain extent.

But facing an opponent like the Kings, it seems that the Hawks will fight on their own, which is enough to win a victory for the team.

Erniu scored another 15 points in the second quarter, and he was only 5 points away from the final goal.

In the first half of the final quarter, the Hawks' substitutes continued to open the score.

In fact, the king can choose not to replace the main force at this time, voluntarily surrender, and use unspoken rules to create pressure on the Eagles, making them doubtful about replacing Kraft Nguyen to score points.

But the head coach of the Kings, Paul Westphal, who just took office this season, probably left the NBA for too long, and obviously hasn't adapted to the rhythm of the league.

The moment he replaced the king's main force again, some things were inevitable.

The two bulls went into battle, a three-pointer, a low-post strong attack, an inside cross step to push away Marvin Williams, and completed his 50+ points in the field with a one-armed dunk.

It doesn't matter whether you win or lose the game!
Woodson didn't let the Celestials play one more minute, and he immediately replaced Kraft Ruan. Amid the "MVP" cries of the king's fans, Ruan Erniu achieved a terrifying record of 1+ points in 5 consecutive games.

Jordan and Kobe have already been trampled under their feet, and Chamberlain, the ancient god, seems to be no longer unattainable.
