The Godfather of Basketball

106 to 93, the Nets defeated the Eagles by 13 points at home, won the home opener of the series, and also won a key game.

Jokic ushered in a recovery, he contributed a team-high 21 points, 13 rebounds and 6 assists, Deron scored 19 points and 7 assists, Yi Jianlian had 12 points and 8 rebounds, Johnson had 10 points and 4 rebounds, Bojan Bogdanovic And Bogdan Bogdanovic each scored 9 points, Pralim had 8 points and 5 rebounds.

McGrady played 15 minutes, 1 of 5 shots, 2 free throws and 4 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists.

Although the data is not good, his contribution to the situation on the field is not small.

At the press conference after the game, Tang Tian also praised McGrady's performance, saying that he will provide more help to the team in future games.

At the same time as the Nets were playing, series in other groups were also going on.

The Western Warriors and the Thunder have won 3 cities in a row and have already won the match point. The Trail Blazers are just the opposite. They are already 0 to 3 behind the Grizzlies. Only the Spurs and the Clippers are 2 to 1 in this group. All in the numbers, the game is tight, and it seems likely that a tiebreak will be played.

In the East, the Cavaliers lead the Bucks 3-0, and the Pacers lead the Bulls 2-1. It seems that it will be a matter of time to advance. The most amazing thing is the Raptors and Wizards. The King of the North was defeated by Pierce in 2 consecutive games. Looking at the posture, it is likely to be the same as in Game of Thrones, and he will be kicked out early.

According to this momentum, the Wizards are likely to become the next round opponent of the winner of the Eagles and Nets.

After winning the key game of the series, the Nets took the initiative in their own hands.

But just as Tang Tian has always emphasized with his players, this will never be an easy series.

The fourth game continued to be played in Brooklyn, with the still majestic audience and the same enthusiastic home atmosphere.

The Nets also continued to use Jokic to play Antić at the beginning.

The difference is that the referee's penalty scale in this game is relatively loose, and Antić defended twice in a row against Jokic's strong attack.

Such a change prevented the Nets from taking the initiative at the beginning, and Korver's touch in this game was better than that of the game, and he made consecutive three-pointers when he came up.

The Eagles established a lead of about 10 points in the first half, and withstood waves of counterattacks from the Nets, and finally beat the Nets 108-104, tying the big score to 2-2. .

Korver made 6 of 9 three-pointers and scored the Hawks' highest 22 points. Millsap and Teague also scored 20 points.

For the Nets, Deron scored a team-high 30 points, but Jokic played abnormally again, scoring only 10 points, 16 rebounds and 4 assists on 4 of 12 shots.

Although the talent is amazing, this is also the characteristic of young players. If they play super in the playoffs, they will be superstars.

Moreover, there was an unpleasant scene in the game. In the second half of the substitute stage, McGrady's breakthrough was maliciously pulled down by Muscala. McGrady punched each other, which almost triggered a large-scale conflict between the two teams.

This scene was just an episode of the game, but in the press conference after the game, Muscala said that McGrady was relying on the old to sell the old, and McGrady did not show any weakness, revealing what Muscala said in the game.

"You are no longer fit to stay in this league. An old guy like you should have retired long ago and went home!"

This is Muscala's trash talk, and it's this trash talk that angered McGrady.

The league then announced the results of the punishment for the two. The two each added a technical foul and fined 25,000 US dollars, but they will not be suspended for it.

The result of this penalty is also very Xiao Hua. In his opinion, the conflict between McGrady and Muscala just added some gimmicks to this interesting series, so that the game will be more attention-grabbing.

And this did play a role. After the two sides fought 2 to 2, the battle of Tianwang Mountain was originally a life-and-death battle, and this time it became even more lively.

Especially the Atlanta fans, McGrady's fist-thumping behavior angered them.

"Tell T-mac, we'll beat him upright on the court rather than with fists."

It was the most liked comment from an Eagles fan on social media.

The game started immediately, and the day before the game, Tang Tian brought the team to Atlanta for final preparations.

Because of the verbal war outside the field, in order to prevent conflicts between players and fans, the training organized by Tang Tian was not open to the public.

When the training was over, he saw many local fans gathered outside the stadium, and he led the players straight to the bus.

Most of the fans came to ask for group photos and autographs. Although there was a war of words off the court, for ordinary fans, whether it was the Eagles or the Nets, the players were the stars they were chasing.

Tang Tian politely declined the fans' request, and then walked to the hotel bus under the escort of the security guards.

"T-mac! You're trash!"

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted among the fans.

This shout immediately greeted the astonished expressions of other fans, and when they got out of the way, they realized that it was a bald man wearing an Eagles uniform, and he seemed to be a die-hard fan.

After the security found out, he immediately went to pick him up and pull him out.

"Garbage! Garbage that only knows violence! Retire early!" The radical fans were pulled away early, but the words they shouted before they were pulled away were harsh.

"I'm fine." McGrady's expression didn't change much. The field is a matter of the field. After leaving the field, he seemed to be bearish.

This is just a small episode during training.

That night, the Phillips Arena was crowded with people, and the huge arena was full of seats. The fans wore white T-shirts, which were the same color as the Eagles' uniforms, and the scene was imposing.

It is worth mentioning that the president of the league, Adam Silver, also came to watch the match, which made the battle of Tianwangshan more and more attractive.

Before the game, the faces of the players on both sides were a little tense. After 4 games, the adjustments that both sides could make have basically been made. At this time, it is their details on the field and their performance on the spot.

After the opening ceremony, the starters of both sides appeared one after another.

The starters on both sides are the same as before, and even the style of play is the same. Jokic is still playing Antić in the low post.

Antiche defended very fiercely, and Jokic's hand was red several times, but the referee's whistle never sounded.

It can be felt that the whistle tonight is a bit loose.

This is significantly more detrimental to the Nets.

Fortunately, Yi Jianlian felt hot in this game, hitting consecutive shots.

At 10 minutes into the first quarter, the score was tied at 22, and the two teams drew.

The spectators enjoyed watching it, and such an intense game deserves the title of Tianwang Mountain.

At this time, the two sides entered the rotation one after another.

The Eagles still have Schroeder, Bazemore, Millsap and Muscala.

On the Nets side, Tracy McGrady still appeared as a backup small forward.

When returning from the timeout, the scene gave Muscala and McGrady a split-screen shot, and the two conflicting parties in the previous game appeared at the same time again.
