Chapter 70: Open Your Eyes

The second quarter of the game was about to begin, and both teams' substitution lineups took the court, with Walton replacing Gan Guoyang.

Jerome Kossie entered the game early, coming in for Vandeweghe.

On the Hawks' side, Jon Koncak and Livingston were substituted in.

The game was played without much fanfare, and the referee frequently blew the whistle to control the escalating physical confrontations between the two sides, aiming to keep tempers from flaring up.

During the interval, CBS was still broadcasting the history of the Hawks. Auerbach had worked with this team, and their biggest glory was in St. Louis where they won their first championship, sparking an NBA spectator boom in the 1950s and promoting the league's survival and development at the time.

In Atlanta today, the Hawks are trying to soar this season, indeed they have been playing well.

With solid defense and lots of ideas on the offensive end, they always manage to execute some nice offensive plays.
