Phillips Arena once again ushered in a warm scene.

Tonight is the Eagles' home game against the Salt Lake City Jazz. Before the game started, owner Price read an article full of affectionate thanks to Boozer, and also changed the number 5 that Boozer wore before.

His home jersey was framed and given to Boozer, and an identical framed jersey was placed in the Eagles' Honors Exhibition Room.

It is impossible to retire the jersey. Raheem's jersey will receive the same treatment as Boozer, and he will have the honor of entering the honor exhibition room.

The standards for retired jerseys by the Eagles are still very high. The players who retired their jerseys are Pete Maravich, Bob Pettit, and Lou Hudson. Then they disappeared and there was still a No. 17 jersey.

It commemorates the great man Ted Turner. Other jerseys such as Moses Malone, who played for the Eagles, have not been retired. Although the history of the Eagles is not glorious, the standard for jersey retirement is still very high.

.

After enjoying the cheers of returning to his former home team, Boozer's most glorious moment came.

Championship rings are awarded!

Liu Mang was supposed to give Boozer a championship ring, but Stockton wanted to give Boozer a championship ring, so the two went together.

Liu Mang took the box containing the championship ring from his boss Price. After opening it, he placed the box in the palm of his hand and held the box in the direction of Stockton with his right hand. Stockton took out the championship ring.

Wear it on Boozer's index finger.

Sloan was very silent when he saw this scene, and Ma Long wanted to cry when he saw it...

Malone was even more envious than when the entire Hawks team and Raheem were handed out rings in the season opener. He was even a little jealous at this moment, mainly because Boozer was the one who went to Salt Lake City to take over his position.

Malone thought that after 19 years of hard work, it would be better for Boozer to succeed him in two years. Boozer would be able to get what he could not pursue for 19 years.

It's really annoying to compare people to each other. The key is that Boozer is already discussing with the Jazz a contract extension of up to 6 years and 84 million after this season, because he was selected by the Hawks at this time.

For a first-round pick, after the first three years of the contract, he can get the maximum salary and renew in advance. Schwartz is negotiating with the Jazz and is very likely to get a six-year contract worth between 70 million and 80 million.

Thinking of this, Malone thought that he had just earned 100 million after playing for 19 years. Boozer was only 23 years old and definitely earned more than 100 million. He was a champion and rich... Malone was even more heartbroken...

…

…

After the heartwarming scene ended, it was time for a game without any camaraderie.

The Hawks are now 15 wins and 4 losses, still first in the Eastern Conference. The Pistons are 15 wins and 5 losses. Although Ben Wallace's suspension has been reduced to 7 games due to the Pistons' application, the Pistons are still at the center position.

In a situation where there was not enough, we still played very well, but we were not as stable as at the beginning of the season.

The Suns also lost, with 16 wins and 4 losses, half a game ahead of the Hawks.

In other words, the difference between first and third place in the league is only one win at most.

Who doesn't want to be No. 1 in the league?

Eagles fans want it, so... hold up the sign first!

After McGrady once again watched the championship ring award with envy, he was full of fighting spirit and wanted to defeat the Jazz. He went up to shoot the hot shot. McGrady began to make the final preparations before the start of the game. He glanced at the fans at the scene. McGrady

I was speechless for a moment.

"Next, Tracey"

“We-need-58-points”

Most of them are signs with these two contents as well as cardboard, words written on white paper, etc.

The fans at the scene were roughly divided into two types of thoughts. One was looking forward to a showdown between McGrady and Liu Mang.

One is to hope that Liu Mang can do it by himself. If no one else can break 57 points, Liu Mang can do it by himself.

Maddie smiled, he didn't want to come.

Liu Mang scored 50 points in three consecutive games. He may be the most surprised, because he is the leading scorer with the highest average per game since Jordan, but he only averages 32 points, while Liu Mang has averaged 36 points per game. It seems

It's just as exaggerated as Jordan's third grade performance.

Tracy McGrady was shocked by Liu Mang's performance. He asked himself... It might be possible, but it's just a hope. He is not Liu Mang, and he won't have Liu Mang's team status. If he were replaced by any other

It is impossible for a team to have a team, and it is impossible for them to meet someone like themselves who can pass the ball to them.

On Liu Mang's side, I saw numbers 58 everywhere, which was a bit weird...

…

The preparation time before the game was over and the lights dimmed.

Boozer was shocked when he saw Rasheed Wallace's roar.

"The guys who were our opponents back then are all in this situation now?" Boozer felt deep down in his heart that the Eagles were invincible. Of course, he was in awe of the Eagles team last season.

Boozer came to the sidelines to apply magnesium powder, and Liu Mang also came to the sidelines to apply magnesium powder.

Seeing Boozer, Liu Mang subconsciously went up and punched his chest. Boozer also subconsciously hugged Liu Mang...

After the two hugged, they saw each other's jerseys, and they both reacted immediately and looked at each other with a smile. This was probably the last hug!

After grabbing a handful of magnesium powder and throwing it into the air, Liu Mang walked onto the court and read Boozer's ability evaluation.

Carlos Boozer, ability evaluation 88, offense 92, defense 70, 60 three-pointers, 86 mid-range shots, 92 layups, 79 speed, 92 strength, 95 rebounds...

So strong...

Liu Mang was so heartbroken when he saw Boozer's ability evaluation!

Thinking of this, Liu Mang glared at Iguodala on the bench next to him. This guy was using Boozer as a bargaining chip.

Iguodala was watching the scene where Liu Mang and Boozer were hugging each other, and he was wondering if he would one day have such a teammate relationship with Liu Mang. Suddenly, Liu Mang glared at me, and Iguodala was confused.

However, Liu Mang also knows that if Boozer stays with the Hawks, he will not be able to show his strength. Rasheed Wallace's role for the Hawks is still better than Boozer, with greater range, good defense, and speed.

Come on, these are things that Boozer can't compare to.

In this way, keeping Boozer on the bench will actually delay Boozer. In the Hawks, Boozer will definitely not get the maximum salary, and it will also delay Boozer's progress. Rasheed Wallace has just arrived.

It is impossible for the Eagles to help the Eagles win the championship, and it is impossible to let Rasheed Wallace come off the bench. At this stage, Boozer is still not as good as Rasheed Wallace.

Of course, Boozer's departure has reduced the Hawks' ability to score independently inside, and has also caused a lot of trouble for the Hawks. The purpose of playing small ball is to avoid the shortcoming of the lack of independent scoring ability inside.

Originally, Liu Mang thought he could invite Ma Long to play for another year, but Ma Long would rather be a trainer and have a job that would keep him occupied than continue playing.

He could accept coming to the Eagles as a trainer. After all, many players became worse off after retiring. Malone wanted to find a job in an industry he liked. Being a trainer could also be considered a basketball career, so he came.

But joining the Hawks team that just defeated him in the Finals...this...he's not that shameless.

…

The game against the Jazz started immediately, and players from both teams came to the court.

The lineup sent by the Eagles is Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady, Prince, Rasheed Wallace, and Kwame Brown.

The Jazz look really good, Arroyo, Kirisek, Matt Halprin, Kirilenko, Boozer.

All five of the Jazz's lineup look good. The outside trio are high-quality role players, and the inside duo has a defensive core and an offensive core...

But this lineup is completely useless!

Kwame Brown and Boozer stood together, and Boozer looked at Kwame Brown's explosive muscles speechlessly.

When Kwame Brown saw Boozer, he trembled and showed his domineering side. After the referee threw the ball into the air, Kwame Brown almost won the jump ball with a forearm advantage. Boozer immediately didn't even think about it.

Turning back to defend, his jump to the ball just now was almost like tiptoeing.

After Liu Mang received the ball, he immediately passed it to McGrady and ran forward himself.

McGrady was just about to break through and prepare to pass the ball to his teammates. Liu Mang didn't say he wanted to score points in this second-to-last game in the Western Conference. McGrady was still prepared to follow the tactics and support the team's scoring.

Just as McGrady received the ball, the fans cheered.

"Tracey...Tracey...Tracey..."

When Liu Mang rushed to the frontcourt, he almost tripped over his own feet.

What do these fans mean that he doesn’t understand?

Are these fans real? I am your greatest player! You actually want to try to make Pippen usurp the throne!

When McGrady heard the cheers, he couldn't stop fighting. Seeing that Rasheed Wallace and Kwame Brown had already entered the paint, McGrady took a three-pointer!

"Bang..."

A bit embarrassing.

Fortunately, Rasheed Wallace blocked Boozer, and Kwame Brown rushed in just in time to grab the offensive rebound, and then passed it to McGrady, who caught the ball and shot again with a three-pointer...

"Bang..."

This time Boozer squeezed Kwame Brown desperately to grab the defensive rebound.

After Boozer went to the Jazz, his rebounding ability immediately showed. Although he is only 2.06 meters tall, his rebounding ability is extremely strong!

However, it was useless for Boozer to be strong alone. After Arroyo dribbled the ball past half court, he confidently broke through and forced a throw. Boozer failed to grab the rebound this time and was won by Kwame Brown.

Liu Mang rushed directly to the frontcourt. McGrady received the ball and passed it long to Liu Mang. Only Matt Halprin followed Liu Mang back to the basket. Liu Mang received the ball and turned around for a layup and scored two points.
