After Christmas, the NBA officially entered the middle of the season.

From the Christmas break until the start of the All-Star Weekend, it was the hardest time for all teams.

Physical fitness, war-weary mood, and long schedule will have a huge impact on each team.

This is often a period of high injury.

But the same, this time is the time when the strong team and the weak team open the gap, and can rely on comprehensive strength to hold the record in this difficult schedule, which is the real strong team!

All teams know this, but there’s not much it can do!

The Eagles are now sitting in fourth place, the fifth Magic team is good, but also rely on the play of Maddie Super God to win, this way of winning is not reliable, even if this year Maddie has indeed become a superstar, the Magic team to maintain the fifth place no problem, but to go further is indeed difficult.

So the Eagles are in a position to sit in two.

Hold on, hold on to the fourth, in this period is both difficult, the same is also an opportunity of the mid-season, the coaching staff to the players' expectation is that if the Pistons can not persist, their side will take advantage of the situation!

2nd in the East!This goal has given the Eagles players a lot of momentum.

They all wanted to do better, and after four days of rest, the Eagles, who had lost two consecutive defeats, were back on the journey.

The first thing that happened to them was the Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers are rotten, and the rotten is not complete, the eastern part is the third-to-last, and there is a heart that wants to rot, but even the rotten skills are not as good as the heat and the bull.

The Eagles saw them poor and decisively helping them.

On December 28, the Eagles' first game after Christmas, the Cleveland Cavaliers were welcomed at home.

A few days ago, the Pacers and piston back-to-back abuse, the Eagles were very upset, but for a while and a half they could not report revenge.

You have to find a team to vent!

Unfortunately, the Cavaliers arrived.

After the start of the game, before the small O'Neal and Ben Wallace two consecutive games hat miserable Raheem on the field after the game to open the riot mode, continuous inside the inside of the strong to kill, hit the Cavaliers inside the line are embarrassed.

Who are we going to mess with!

Raheem is playing, Jason Terry is here again, all kinds of wave swings, but Jason Terry is still practicing three points these days, ...

After the first quarter, when Rahim and Jason Terry were replaced to rest, the Cavaliers felt that they could play well.

The last time the Eagles went to Cleveland to play, Liu Xuan performance was OK, but he could not say very good, at that time, Liu Xuan on a way, fouls, all kinds of fouls, also took more than ten points.

The idea of the Cavaliers is that you make a foul, whatever you want, as long as you’re not as tempestuous as Jason Terry and Rahim.

However, Liu Yan's progress is not what the Cavaliers players can imagine.

When Liu Yan pretended to be a strong after the withdrawal of the strong abrupt, the posture of the strange stun appeared, and the second quarter came up and went into three three points, the Cavaliers players collapsed...

Give me the ball and I’ll go home!This is the heart of the Cavaliers...

...

112 to 87, the Eagles' first game after Christmas slaughtered the Cavaliers ended a two-game losing streak!

Liu Yan made 8 of 13 shots, 5 in 3 points and 6 in 5, 4 in 6, and the second and third quarters added up to 25 points!Efficiency in the day!

Raheem played the first quarter, 20 points in a single quarter, Jason Terry's first quarter and the third quarter played, frantic shot 20 times, 20 shots 12 points scored 28 points.

Liu Yan, Jason Terry and Rahim cut 73 points!

Gradually, due to the Eagles team structure, a defender, a strong small forward, a substitute scorer structure, the team score basically rely on these three people, slowly in the local Atlanta, the three people have a "group debut" nickname - eagle three less!

Liu Yan heard this nickname when the good egg pain, which is foreshadowing what?

This nickname is not so good!

In addition, Liu Yan feels that he and Jason Terry call "less", but also reluctantly accept, he is a rookie, Jason Trie is only 3 years old, but Rahim played until the sixth season, 25 years old...

25 years old?

Liu Yan thought for a moment, it seems not too old, the future of the three pairs of kings are more than 30, is not still called "less"?

It's okay, there's a nickname that's not...

...

...

The Cavaliers were so irritated, in addition to a mouthful of evil that had accumulated for four days, there were also two customers who would leave Atlanta the next day to play away, Texas.

Two opponents, the strong one is the opponent on the first day of the new year 2002, the San Antonio Spurs.

But for Liu Yan's side, the more important opponent is the first, the road on December 30 to challenge the Houston Rockets!

For so long, Liu Yan had almost forgotten this thing, but seeing the schedule, the familiar red team label, Liu Yan immediately remembered.

The first opponent when you come into this world!

The first best player, Steve Francis!

Fang Boss!

This character is generous, but too stubborn, and finally ended in the NBA hastily ended the man.

For Francis, Liu Yan's impression is generally good, helping Da Yao to fight back against Da Yao's opponent, the first round of the first round of the fourth round of the fourth round of the fourth game against the Lakers, the key moment even four three points to get the first game of his career is also the only victory.

After that, Francis was traded to the Magic, the mood was gone, and then the injury continued, playing seven or eight seasons to retire.

But now Francis is really high!

Let people shine, unprecedented double-edged play, one-handed score and organization activated the old cat Cardino-Mobry's scoring ability, in addition to the shooting choice almost, it can be said that this year's Francis will indeed double can defend this name is not yet perfect interpretation.

It's just that the Rockets' inside line is really bad, so to say, when a team's rebound king is a point guard, you know that this team is 100% missed.

The last as the team rebounding king of the point guard, or the history of the top ten Oscar Robertson, he took the rebound king in those years he led the Kings team has not passed the first round, but is the lowest years of his rebounding career, the playoffs are strong enough to explode, successfully won the championship.

It is worth mentioning that in those years he went to the Bucks and partnered with Jabbar.

Even the Magic Johnson rebound is so powerful, not the team rebounding king, it is still worth mentioning that the magician won the championship did not leave Jabbar.

Orcas Robertson is the star of the 1960s, the magician is the star of the 80s.

With the boss of the fruit, regardless of whether there is a task, Liu Yan is very excited!

The first time with the boss of the Fu fight, Liu Yan did not fully reflect what happened, so confused so confused that he finished a game and spent a precious top star card.

Now Liu Yan knows how precious the top star card, the first star card let him feel the three-point feeling of the historical level pitcher, with a foothold, the second star card let him have a new understanding of the original powerful counterattack, laughing at the peak of Mamba's praise of the counterattack skills let Liu Yan have a lot of counterattack in the choice!

...

In Houston, Liu Yan felt like coming to a modern city from the "sub-modern" "old city" of Atlanta!

Not that Atlanta is dilapidated, but the problem of this era, in Atlanta basically can not see what can be regarded as high-tech things.

But in Houston is different, although really speaking, it is still behind the modernization of Liu Yan's mind for many years... but at least can suck the haze!

Not the kind of particularly exaggerated, the feeling that the far-flung fog has not yet completely dispersed, but you are sure that this weather is impossible to fog.

This is a modern city!

But it was a little strange when Liu came to Houston.

In general, he went to the city where the other star had a contradiction this year, not to mention being "lifted" by the other fans at the airport, at least he would see some game publicity or something, such as mocking how, but Houston is not!
