"This place is so annoying every time I come here!" Jason Terry complained.

"I think it's pretty good. The land is vast, sparsely populated, and the mountains are clear and beautiful..." Liu Mang replied casually as he looked at the short house outside the window and saw the fields at a glance.

"It's a vast land and sparsely populated? It's a good adjective, I admit that, but the adjective of beautiful mountains and clear waters is also good, but where do you see it?" Jason Terry pointed to the distance that may be several kilometers away, but because this is

On the coastal plain, the buildings in the town are short, and at a glance you can see the huge chimney of a large garbage incineration plant a few kilometers outside the town.

New Jersey, a great place, a great coastal state.

But the small town of Rutherford is not a great place.

To say a town is a bit exaggerated, but according to the geographical planning of the United States, this is a town, which is about the same as a small county in China.

The role of Rutherford Town Teammate New Jersey is just a transfer station for Jersey City. The largest revenue here, besides the hotel industry, is the garbage incineration plant responsible for processing part of the large amount of garbage generated by coastal trade.

.

Fortunately, we are not dealing with white garbage, otherwise no one would be able to live here.

However, even if there are high restrictions on exhaust treatment, the environment is really not that good.

"Let's make do with it. We'll go back to Atlanta after the game tomorrow. Anyway, we're only staying for one night." Liu Mang didn't care that much. The environment in Atlanta was very good, and it was rare to be able to smoke what he once smoked every day.

When the Nets played away games in the past, they all lived in Jersey City, which was more than an hour away. The Nets' wealthy players also bought villas in Jersey City. Of course, many of them lived in apartments like Liu Mang.

Although I have a car, it is difficult to rent an apartment in a place like Jersey City where the rent is as high as that of a coastal city. I live here because no one can say whether the bottom players will have an NBA team next season, even if there is a G League now.

, but the salary in the Development League is too low, so you have to save more money now.

This time the game with the Nets is crucial. The two teams have a total of three chances to meet this season. The first two times were one win and one loss. The Eagles must win this game, otherwise if they meet in the playoffs, they will face psychological pressure.

too big.

What's more, so many plans were made this time, including sniper tactics and deliberately showing weakness by pretending to be infighting, just to cause more trouble for the Nets.

Therefore, the Eagles stayed in a nearby hotel in the small town of Rutherford this time. They did not have to take an hour or two of driving from Jersey City, which was also good for their physical strength.

It is a legendary "quasi" four-star hotel. It claims to have four-star decoration hardware, but it does not have stars.

Everyone is used to living a rich life, and they can't stand living a slightly worse life, especially black people.

But overall it's fine. Jason Terry and others also complained. We haven't reached the era of role players with tens of millions of contracts in the future, and dealing with it will be over in a short time.

…

…

The Eagles are now 58-21, and they can reach 60 wins by winning two of three games.

In the Western Conference, the Spurs and Kings have both exceeded 60 wins. The Spurs, who have two games left to play, are 61-19, and the Kings, who have three games left, are 60-19.

After that, the Lakers went 56 wins and 24 losses, with two games left to play, and at most 58 wins.

The Hawks may become one of the only three teams in the league to win 60 games, which will give some face to the Eastern Conference's miserable overall record.

There are only three 50-win teams in the East, the Hawks, Nets, Celtics, and the Mavericks, who are ranked sixth in the West, all have better records than the Nets and Celtics.

April 13th was the Eagles' third to last regular season game, and it was also a very crucial regular season game.

But the key is the key, the Eagles players are still very relaxed.

A series of things they did before were all designed to add trouble to the Nets. They won the Nets in this game, and then the 76ers defeated the Nets, successfully sending the Celtics to second place in the Eastern Conference. The Hawks were naturally happy.

But if they lose, except for the possible psychological pressure of facing the Nets in the Eastern Conference Finals, there is nothing else. It is still unclear whether the Nets will lose to the 76ers, in case the 76ers want to beat the Celtics for the sixth time.

Well, I don’t want to chase fifth place.

Liu Mang thinks that it makes sense to make plans based on people and to make things happen based on heaven.

…

…

Liu Mang feels weird every time he comes to the Air Force Arena. It feels even emptier than the American Airlines Center in Miami.

Although the attendance rate was about 90%, it sounded like at most 10% of the seats were empty, which doesn't sound too bad.

But this arena has more than 21,000 seats, which means about 2,000 seats are empty. It really feels a bit weird to the naked eye.

The Nets' revenue is very bad. They have been losing money since the ABA league in the 1960s. After the ABA went bankrupt and joined the NBA, they are still losing money, and they have been losing money year after year.

Were it not for the purpose of advertising their owner, Alan Cohen's Commonwealth Shipping Group, the team would have been sold long ago.

After the players from both sides entered the stadium, Kidd greeted the Hawks players with his signature polite smile.

The Nets have had a very easy time these past two years, and they also only need to win two of the remaining three games to secure second place in the Eastern Conference.

Kidd, a "veteran" who has played in the playoffs for many years, does not attach much importance to home court advantage in the playoffs. Kidd is already in his eighth season and is already regarded as a veteran of the Mesozoic era.

But if there is no home court advantage in the second and third rounds, Kidd will also feel very hurt. Although he has the experience of beating the defending champion Spurs 3-1, it still feels very painful to beat them all the time, so

The home court advantage still needs to be fought for in the second round.

Acting must be done well. Raheem and Jason Terry have been complaining to Liu Mang for the past two days about why they were suspended. Although the team did not report that they would have their salaries deducted, which made them feel a little more comfortable, they were still

Complaining about why Liu Mang came on the field to brush up the data.

Of course, this was just a joke with Liu Mang when we were complaining in private.

However, these two bastards are performing very energetically now.

Raheem stepped forward to shake hands with Kidd and bump chests, pushing Jason Terry aside.

"Hi Jason, long time no see." Rahim said with a forced smile.

Kidd looked at Rahim's expression and felt relieved. His teammates had been going crazy these past two days, saying they wanted to celebrate second place in the Eastern Conference. Kidd felt so bad. What's the point of celebrating if he's second?

Yes! And have you got it?

But now I see Raheem’s expression, that forced smile that seems to be in a bad mood, and that little move of pushing Jason Terry out of the way to come up first to say hello, a little move that feels like he’s “fighting for the top spot”

.

Kidd continued to show a polite smile and said: "It doesn't matter, we may see each other again in more than a month, and then we will see each other every day."

When Raheem said hello and left, he saw Jason Terry still beside him, and the smile on his face suddenly disappeared.

Kidd seemed to hear a slight snort, and the smile on his face became less polite, and he smiled sincerely...

…

Warlords!

Acting school!

It seems that his acting skills are much better than those of the domestic movie stars named Li.

Black people have great acting talent!

Liu Mang looked at Rahim and Jason Terry, who had already entered the scene and returned to the bench without saying a word. The two sat on one side of Liu Mang, and it felt like they were competing for the team's "third man".

"In support, Liu Mang poked the two people next to him with both hands and gave a thumbs up between the three of them.

Raheem and Jason Terry also gave a thumbs up to Liu Mang in the middle with their arms crossed.

Looking at the relaxed and happy atmosphere of the Nets, the three Little Eagles can't wait to get on the court!
