The NBA started with helping Iverson win the championship

Chapter 200 Hell is empty, the devil is in the world

Hornets offensive round.

Paul singled Beverly with the ball, which may have been affected by his mentality, and he failed to score the goal.

Beverly turned his head and rushed towards the basket the moment Paul shot.

At this moment, Big Ben and Yao Ming have already blocked Okafor and David West under the basket, and they are waiting for Beverly to come to grab the rebound.

"puff."

With a muffled sound, Beverly easily jumped up and took off the rebound.

In the short time since the opening, he already had 3 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist. It seems that it is only a matter of time before he scored a triple-double tonight.

Time passed by, and with the help of the Pistons, Beverly's data gradually increased.

By the end of 10 minutes in the first quarter, Beverly had already scored 11 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists, and his efficiency was quite amazing.

Such a statistic, placed on Li Xun, is of course not a surprise.

But on Beverly, a rookie, it's amazing enough.

Paul's face was serious, and he felt great pressure.

With the current situation of the Hornets, it is unlikely that they want to win against the Pistons, which he knows very well.

Even if David West works and contributes, there is an irreparable gap between the starting lineups of the two sides.

But the loss is a loss, and Paul can't accept that Beverly's data is better than his own.

In the first quarter, Paul scored 8 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists. In terms of statistics, it is really far inferior to Beverly.

This is certainly not to say that Beverly is stronger than Paul, but that Paul does not have strong teammates like Li Xun.

Take West as an example. When he received a pass from Paul, even if he could make a direct shot, he would sway twice and make a fake move.

Because of the fake action, even if the ball is scored by himself, Paul will not get an assist.

This guy really broke his face with Paul.

Li Xun couldn't laugh or cry when he saw this. The Hornets were a strong team in the Western Conference a few years ago. As a result, in just a few years, without much change in the lineup, they turned into the ghost they are now.

The real change is actually the replacement of boxing champion Chandler with Elvis Okafor.

Halfway through the third quarter, Beverley successfully scored his first triple-double of his career.

22 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists.

This guy knows enough is enough. The moment he got the triple-double, he was ready to end immediately, leaving the shot time to Curry.

Li Xun nodded secretly. He had to say that players like Beverly were annoying to opponents, but his teammates liked them.

In the fourth quarter of the game, Li Xun and other main players did not appear on the stage at all, because the difference between the two sides was relatively large, and there was no suspense in the game.

After the game, the Hornets went straight to 3 wins and 9 losses, and the gap with the Clippers has become smaller and smaller.

"Lee, why don't you talk to Mr. Dumas?"

"My side is putting pressure on the team, you guys give a little more chips, I think the transaction will be successful."

After Paul's game, the whole person almost collapsed.

The old Okafor man has a loose ass, so what he does doesn't hit him.

David West didn't work hard, and basically didn't participate in the defense very much. He shot when he had the ball in his hand, regardless of the position of his teammates.

The old Peja was submissive to Prince's management. Apart from shooting, it seemed that Peja had no other offensive weapons.

But what Prince defends is shooting.

Marcus Thornton is only a second-round pick, and he is still a rookie, so you can't expect him to do great things.

Not every second-round pick is Li Xun.

In this case, Paul had had enough.

He doesn't want to stay with the Hornets for a moment.

The Pistons now have a large number of outstanding newcomers, even if they have combat power. As long as Dumars is willing to speak up and Paul puts pressure on the team management, the possibility of this deal being successful is very high.

"Sorry, Chris, I'm not in charge of this kind of thing."

"But I'll ask Mr. Dumas."

Li Xun saw that Paul was indeed miserable, so he didn't have the nerve to refuse him directly, so he just asked Dumas for him.

If the Hornets are not the lion's big mouth, then this deal is actually not impossible.

After all, the team has Chris Paul, so the backcourt must be completely different.

Paul had a smile on his face, regardless of whether it can be done or not, as long as Li Xun can ask, it is enough.

"Thank you, Lee."

"I believe that if we can join forces, it will not be a problem for you to surpass Jordan."

"You will be able to establish three dynasties!"

Paul is full of confidence. Now that he and Li Xun are young people, in the next nine years, the chance of them winning the championship together is not 100%, at least [-]%.

Li Xun echoed with a dry smile, he didn't know how many times he had heard such words so far.

Many stars have said similar words when chatting with themselves.

The day after the game, Li Xun went to Dumars' office before starting his road trip.

"Huh? Chris really said that?"

Dumars raised his eyebrows, and it seemed that he was still very interested in Paul.

In Paul, he saw the shadow of his old brother Thomas the smiling assassin, and he has been paying attention to Paul all the time.

"That's right, he seems to really want to come to our Pistons. It should be due to internal strife within the team."

"You should also know the current record of the Hornets."

Li Xun nodded.

Dumas smacked his lips and began to think, "This is a bit difficult."

"George Sheehan is a bad embryo. It is harder to take advantage of him than to go to heaven."

"But we still have to try, even if it doesn't work, we won't lose anything."

The George Sheehan he was talking about is the current owner of the Hornets.

In the second half of next year, Sheehan had serious health problems, and then sold the Hornets to NBA officials.

This also indirectly led to the fact that Stern vetoed the Paul-Kobe deal.

Li Xun had already heard of Xi En's notoriety.

This man is a living demon.

Hell is empty, and demons are in the world, and they are generally speaking of people like Sean.

When the Hornets were still in Charlotte, they caused a scandal to the cheerleaders in the team and asked them to sleep with them, but they only gave them two hundred dollars.

Think about what Sean is worth, a billionaire, but he only paid 200 yuan when he slept with him.

This is like Wang Congcong looking for an Internet celebrity, but in the end he gave the Internet celebrity 200 yuan for a night of sleep.

The cheerleader girl is lucky.

There are young women who have been raped and have sued Sean for many years, but they have not been successful. After all, these billionaire lawyers are not vegetarians.

Later, the young woman's husband was found dead in the suburbs.

It is said that he committed suicide by shooting himself, but the specific method of death, I am afraid only God knows.

It was this scandal that made the Hornets unable to stay in Charlotte, so they migrated to New Orleans.

These things are well known in the circle, and Dumas is a good man, even if he does things that are not so glorious sometimes.

How could Dumas have a good opinion of a scum like Sean.

"Okay, but Curry must not move."

Li Xun quickly reminded that he was afraid that Dumars would take out Curry as a bargaining chip.

Dumas shook his head, "Lee, are you kidding me?"

"Or do you think I'm an idiot?"

"A young man with 50+ points in his rookie season is currently averaging 44% three-point shooting per game. Do you think I am so stupid to use him as a bargaining chip?"

Only then did Li Xun feel relieved.

But he is also very clear that if Curry is not used, the transaction should not be successful.

Anyway, I have already told Dumas about this, and it can be regarded as fulfilling my promise to Paul.
