Chapter 531 The Resentment of New Orleans LeBron's Ambition

Although the New Orleans Hornets regained the No. [-] throne in the Western Conference with a hearty victory the next day, it was too late. For him, it is not the first time to serve as the head coach of the All-Star team. When he coached the New Jersey Nets in [-], he had already served once, but this time has a completely different meaning from that time.

You must know that this year's All-Star Game is in order to appease New Orleans fans affected by Hurricane "Katrina". citizens.

The head coach of the home team is the head coach of the All-Star team. Although it is not unique, it is rare. Byron Scott still attaches great importance to this honor, especially in front of thousands of home fans. If the team's record No, then there is nothing to say, but it is too uncomfortable to be taken away by the Sonics when they have been leading for almost two months and are already within reach.

And this gap is simply negligible, just because of the relationship between victory and defeat, losing to the opponent, losing to the guy who has always been considered a shame in the coaching world, was also beaten by the players, Tomjanovich and Jeff Van Gundy All that remained were good names, but this guy seriously disgraced the coach.

Although Carlesimo's tactical literacy is very high, otherwise **Vichitch would not let him be the chief assistant coach just because of his relationship, but this guy is very poor in dealing with players. It's even worse. As a player-born coach, Byron Scott has always been uncomfortable with such a coach.

Not only Byron Scott thinks this way, but the players in New Orleans are also full of resentment towards the Seattle SuperSonics. It’s nothing more than taking away our No. [-] in the Western Conference and our head coach’s All-Star coaching qualification. Let's go, and although the final results of the All-Star voting have not yet come out, according to reliable sources, Stephen has surpassed Ivory and officially became the starting guard of the Western All-Star team, while his own head player, Chris Paul, led the team. The core point guard who won the first place in the Western Conference failed to make it to the top four, so why not make them angry.

While the team's record has risen, Chris Paul's personal data has also greatly improved. A guard who averages 22 points and [-] assists per game is outstanding in any era, let alone he has two With seven steals, it's no wonder people compare him to Isiah Thomas, the most successful short guard of all time.

Compared with the data of [-] plus [-] plus [-] and the data of [-] plus [-], there is no difference between the two. The former is certainly all-round, but the latter is more professional. Chris Paul averaged [-] points per game. Six assists established his status as a first-class point guard. As long as he can stay healthy, he can enter the ranks of great players.

Which one is easier to obtain, assists or rebounds, can be seen at a glance from the data. The players who averaged double digits in rebounds per game in the season basically have more than double digits in each season, and those who can average double digits in assists per game, stretch out With one slap, the fingers on it can't be used up.

Driven by Chris Paul, a high-quality booster, the New Orleans Hornets have achieved unprecedented results. Whether it is the Charlotte Hornets or the New Orleans Hornets, whether in the East or in the West, the Hornets Never got the division first.

The good record of the Hornets is reflected in the fans of New Orleans, making them feel that they, who have just been hit by the hurricane, have been blessed by God again. Otherwise, the team that has been in the lottery for many years will not suddenly advance by leaps and bounds and become The No. [-] team in the West.

Although the season is only less than halfway through, fans in New Orleans are already looking forward to it. If the record in the Western Conference is maintained until the end of the season, is the Hornets hopeful for the championship? Although this season’s Western Conference is still the same as before In such a balanced strength, the intensity of competition has not decreased, but there is no strong team that people can't look directly at.

Among several veteran teams, the Spurs have been playing tepidly due to Stephen's departure and the sluggish state of the three main players. Although the record is still stable, it doesn't make people feel invincible like before. , especially the game that the Spurs lost to the Sonics made the fans of the Hornets even more angry. Take the coaching qualification of head coach Byron Scott.

But many fans who really understand football and watched that game don’t think so. It’s not that the Spurs didn’t let the water go. At halftime, it turned out that they could not beat the Sonics and gave up the game early.

Although they despise the behavior of the Spurs, they certainly want the Spurs to fight the Sonics to the death, but through this game, it can also be analyzed that the strength of the Spurs is definitely declining. If it is replaced by the previous Spurs , will never do that.

The current weakness of the Spurs is that their lineup is aging and their athletic ability is very insufficient. It is difficult to find a player who can run and jump, and this happens to be the strength of the Hornets. They believe that if they only play one game, The Spurs may be able to win the game relying on experience, but in a seven-game series with four wins, the Hornets must have the advantage.

Do Byron Scott and the Hornets players have such confidence? Hornets fans have such confidence. Although there is a saying that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, but now it is not bigger, but faster. You Not to mention that he is already thin, even a camel that is not thin, he is not as fast as a horse.

The defending champion teams like the Spurs don't take it seriously, let alone other teams. The Dallas Mavericks are good, and their current record is also pretty good, but no matter how good they are, they are not better than the Hornets, not even the Supersonics. Can surpass, let alone the Hornets.

The Mavericks have been thriving for the past few seasons, but they haven't even won a championship. Last season, they had the highest record in the league, but in the end they were overthrown by the little Warriors. The Rockets, or the Spurs might have been eliminated all along.

As for the Rockets, Yao Ming performed well. There is no one in the league who can compete with him at the basket, but he must be able to catch the ball. Without McGrady, only the guy who came out of the street court , Can you beat our Chris Paul?

As for the Suns, the offense is good, but after a few years, everyone is basically familiar with those routines. With Chris Paul blocking, Nash can still do whatever he wants like other teams. Pass the ball to teammates, lock up Nash, is the Suns worth being afraid of?

As for other teams, like the Utah Jazz, Denver Nuggets, and Los Angeles Lakers, fans in New Orleans simply don't pay attention to them, let alone the Golden State Warriors, Minnesota Timberwolves, etc. Well, it's nothing to worry about.

After analyzing and analyzing, they feel that in the current west, the Hornets basically have no opponents. What, you said that the Sonics ranked second in the west, there are no tigers in the mountains, monkeys call them mountains, and they are other strong teams The state is not good, so it is their turn to come up, otherwise, if they get them in that round, these fans will not see it. If not, the Hornets would not be able to get the first position.

They look down on the Sonics, and there is another reason, that is, the Seattle Supersonics rely on Stephen alone, averaging [-] points per game this season, can he last until the end of the season, it is [-]% impossible, and then they will hold With the arguments of many experts, if there is such a heaven-defying character, it will not be the turn of the Sonics.

This guy just ran into a team like the Spurs who are good at training players, and then put up good numbers. Otherwise, he would fall to other teams. The players, for some reason, were mixed into their current positions by them.

Such a team that relies on only one person, as long as the state of this person fluctuates, the state of the entire team will also fluctuate. Therefore, New Orleans fans do not look at the Supersonics at all, thinking that they are playing well. Basketball is the basketball of the contract, and it is the basketball with development prospects. The Supersonics are basically the second copy of Kobe, but he is three points more than Kobe.

But it is such a team that briefly took the Hornets' No. [-] position in the Western Conference, took away the honor that should belong to the Hornets, and also took away Chris Paul's All-Star starter. Having a player like Iverson can be said to be a respect for the senior players, but they are not willing to be taken away by Stephen.

Some fans even suggested that Stephen must be tested for doping. This guy must have taken some new type of doping, otherwise he would be so violent. Of course, this kind of suggestion is just talking in private. It is very important. Ordinary main players undergo a doping test once a month, and Stephen once every half a month, and all items are required to be tested every time.

The resentment of New Orleans did not affect the Sonics. Although, to a certain extent, Carlesimo had already begun to reduce Stephen's playing time and began to implement step by step according to the plan he set, the Sonics still won. The Cleveland Cavaliers.

Stephen won another victory in the duel with the little emperor LeBron James. LeBron James only scored 27 points this time, but he took 32 shots, got [-] rebounds, but only sent four times Assist, while still in the process of breaking through, was blocked by Stephen twice.

On the way out of Seattle, LeBron James suddenly had a feeling of being both born and bright. Could it be that if he met the enemy of his life, he would really miss the championship. Otherwise, why would he meet him every time? This guy is hard to find his own life, and his teammates are not good enough?LeBron James looked around, this is indeed the case, but there is no one around that guy right now.

Moreover, LeBron James deeply knows that the team's current operations have reached the extreme. With Cleveland's situation and the relationship with the Cavaliers, it is difficult to attract capable players. LeBron James will not feel that this is his own The reason is that whoever is a truly capable player is willing to be the second master for others.

It seems that if you want to deal with that guy, you need to find a few more helpers, and this helper needs to be stronger. LeBron James raised his finger and gnawed for a long time, but he couldn't find a few suitable players among the nearly [-] players in the league. Yes, he looks down on bad ones, and it's not easy to get good ones.

The status quo of the Cavaliers is not very good. Without salary space, it is impossible to make big reinforcements in the free market. Every year, relying on the middle-class contract and the basic salary of veterans, there can be recruited those slightly bigger players. Although the owner Gilbert I don't mind paying luxury tax, but it makes people helpless if there is no place to pay.

Not every team is as charismatic as the Los Angeles Lakers. LeBron James also knows that compared with these teams, the Cavaliers are like a common boy who wants to get the first laurel among those rich kids. It's not that easy, the background of the Cavaliers is too shallow.

In the league, transactions must follow the principle of reciprocity, but sometimes, superficial reciprocity does not mean real reciprocity, just like the deal between the Spurs and the Sonics. Can you say that Stephen and Jeff Green is equal.

But when everyone has a chance to get Stephen, why does the Sonics have a chance to become the winner? It’s not because the Sonics have a relationship with the Spurs from the boss, the general manager, and the head coach. Otherwise, it would be the Sonics' turn there.

It's a pity that I started a little late at the time, and at that time I had just entered the Creative Artists Agency, and I hadn't come to get closer to Stephen. If it was now, it should be better. Second, although the Cavaliers said The general manager and head coach are part of the Spurs system, but the owner has nothing to do with the Spurs.

LeBron James feels uninterested when he thinks about it. The league is not as easy as he imagined. It is already the fifth year that he has entered the league. In the finals, but did not win the championship, everything is in vain, no one will remember who is the runner-up every year, only who is the champion.

As for personal honors, I also don't have any significant achievements to show off, the best rookie?All-Star Game Most Valuable Player?Don't be kidding, for me, these are not honors at all, the best rookie and that guy seems to have it too, he also has the best sixth man, and the most valuable player of the finals for two consecutive years, there is a Or build on your own pain.

"Hey!" LeBron James lowered his head and sighed secretly. As a star figure, as the leader of a team, no matter how hard, tired, depressed and helpless he is, he can't show this in front of others. To be weak, you must keep your head up and your chest up all the time.

I don’t know if that guy will be as tired as I am. Now the two people are in the same situation. The Supersonic team’s record is the second in the West, and the Cavaliers’ record is the first in the East and the league. Relying on his own performance, if the opponent hadn't just defeated himself, LeBron James would have a feeling of sympathy with the opponent, and maybe he would make a phone call to chat, but now he can only swallow the bitter fruit here alone.

But nothing, I still have a chance to appear in the finals this season, but it is very difficult for that guy to stand out in the West. The reason why the Cavaliers' record is at the top of the league is not because of his Most of the opponents are in the east, and the strength of the east is weak.

Even if LeBron James feels that if he takes a road trip from the West, no matter whether he wins or loses the game, he will feel a sense of relief after the end, especially from the three teams in Texas. There is another Hornets team on the side, and another Sonics team on the side.

And I am not without opponents in the Eastern Conference. Although the Detroit Pistons, whose defense was suffocating and breathless, has disappeared with the change of coach and main center, but the strength is still not to be underestimated. And that guy like a monster is still a huge obstacle in front of the Cavaliers. If the team doesn't have a guy who can compete with him, it can't be reassuring and bold.

And the newly-emerging Boston Celtics are even more worrying for LeBron James. Just like the teams in the West are worried about the revival of the Los Angeles Lakers, in the East, the Boston Celtics are also the target of public criticism. I hope they can rise from the ashes, because once a team like them is on the right track, it seems to stand in the ranks of the top teams for a long time.

However, it is not so easy to adapt after a big change like a world-changing change. For the time being, there should be no need to worry. I should think about how to further strengthen the team before the trade deadline. I should still target these western teams. It's a pity that the situation in the west is not clear now.

"Ah!" LeBron James sighed again in his heart, laid his back down, and covered his eyes with an eyepatch, but for some reason, that annoying but admirable guy appeared again in his mind, What an amazing guy, he still scored 41 points under his own full defense, and he played less than 10 minutes.
