runaway point guard

Chapter 244 First Battle!Warriors!

The flames of war for the new season are about to be ignited.

The alliance is brewing arrogance again, ready to explode directly.

The Lakers who were crushed in the Finals last season, the Spurs who hated the semifinals, the Cavaliers who were single-handed and lost their souls, the Celtics who were old and stable, the Hornets who broke their stings in the Western Conference Finals...

Every team has its own demands for the new season.

In the 08-09 season, the Bulls selected the No. [-] overall pick, Derek Rose. This white-robed young player will also bring new changes to the Bulls.

Every player will cleanse himself and defeat the enemy in the 08-09 season.

On October 2008, 10, the opening game of the NBA preseason was started by the Hornets and Warriors.

The Hornets this season has attracted a lot of attention from everyone. After a series of trades and reinforcements, their lineup has already reached the level of competing for the championship.

Therefore, not many fans watched this opening game.

However, to everyone's disappointment, in this game, both Paul and Zhong Yu just played soy sauce, and the Hornets almost all relied on their own substitute players to play this game.In this way, many people who were looking forward to watching Zhong Yu's performance just flashed away after seeing Zhong Yu's 7 points and 2 assists data sheet. Paul disappeared after getting 4 assists. In the end, the Hornets beat the warriors.

Although Paul and Zhong Yu hardly played, the Hornets played quite well. Reggie Evans and Kurt Thomas got 11 and 7 rebounds respectively, which ensured the Hornets' inside line. Trevor Ariza Although the hit rate was not high, he contributed three beautiful caps.

West and Peja did not play for a long time.

What attracts attention today is the Rockets that have established the "Big Three" model. The Big Three combination of Yao Ming + Artest + Tracy McGrady has attracted a lot of attention, but I don't know if the opponent is too strong or It is said that the Big Three of the Rockets are just pseudo-Big Three, or that they have not finished running in. In short, the Rockets lost to their opponents on this day.

Four days later, the Hornets played against the Spurs. In this game, Zhong Yu and Paul still didn't play too many games. Although the Spurs wanted to avenge Zhong Yu and Paul, the Hornets really had nothing to do with their swords. .However, they found that the current Hornets' bench lineup is also quite difficult to entangle. Moreover, when the bench is really unable to hold on, Zhong Yu and Paul will return to the court to feint. Depressed enough to vomit blood, at the last moment, Paul hit a three-pointer, completely establishing the victory.

The preseason has been played for nearly a month, but Zhong Yu and Paul didn't have much playing time. Of course, everyone felt that Zhong Yu and Paul had made great progress. Now the team is hiding them in order to achieve an unexpected effect .

In fact, the main purpose of the Hornets doing this is to hone the team's substitutes and let them have a lot of tacit understanding in the shortest time.

In these preseason games, Reggie Evans averaged 5 points and 11 rebounds per game, Kurt Thomas scored 9 points and 8 rebounds per game, Ariza Able to get 11 points, 6 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks, the data is quite good...but his shooting percentage is only 35%.

However, while Ariza is exposing his iron god nature, his defense is indeed what the Hornets need.

Now, the Hornets finally have enough rebounding ability, especially after adding Evans, a rebounding beast.

The preseason is over, the real NBA regular season, the real NBA, the 2008-2009 season, is about to kick off!

As for the Hornets, whether they have become the team they want and whether they can make up for the shortcomings of last season depends on this season.

On October 2008, 10, the Hornets' regular season opener was officially held at home!

In this game, the Hornets will face the Golden State Warriors at home.

The Warriors and the Hornets played against each other in the opening game of the preseason, but today is different. Today is the day when the regular season officially starts. The Warriors are the first opponent the Hornets have encountered in the regular season .

Before the game, all kinds of voices had already made enough foresight for this game-everything.Most of it points to the current lineup of the Hornets and the current combat ability of the Warriors.

In the last season, the Hornets got the second best record in the Western Conference, allowing the Hornets to get the best record in recent years.

"During the offseason, the Hornets made a lot of rifles to enhance their internal strength. On the outside, they also retained the powerful backcourt attacker Paco. Of course, it goes without saying that the backcourt has two shots. Now the Hornets The team has a relatively good inside strength in the league, and at the same time has the most perfect and best outside strength in the league...it is very scary."

"The current strength of the Hornets is indeed not to be underestimated. They are no longer the team that is struggling in the bench area. They are not even the team that fell under the iron hoof of the Lakers last season. This year's Hornets, Quite strong! I even dare to say that this is stronger than many people imagined."

"The Warriors have now sent Davis away. Although Maggette has been bought in, there is a grim reality in front of them-the team's running-in is seriously insufficient! The Hornets, with their strong outside strength, really need Make the Warriors incomparable..."

…………

Such news has naturally become evidence that many people are optimistic about the Hornets. They all believe that the Hornets are already a very good team after the reinforcements during the offseason, especially the fans of the Hornets and Zhong Yu. Fans are also advocating for the Hornets.

Of course, there are still many objections—

"The Hornets' lineup this season seems to be strong, but there are still many problems. First, can Zhong Yu's performance be as stable as last season? Second, the Hornets' non-stop pick-and-roll last season has been eliminated Many teams have seen it through, and this season can still sweep all directions like last season? In the end, the current lineup of the Hornets simply lacks adaptation!"

There are many such views. Many people think that the Hornets lack enough running-in this season.

This was of course refuted——

"The Hornets lack of integration? A lineup like Paul, Zhong Yu, West, Peja, and Chandler swept the Mavericks last season, defeated the Spurs, and fought seven games with the Lakers... The lack of integration is at most just the trade. New players coming over, they can't affect the Hornets."

"The current lineup of the Hornets, although not perfect, is indeed quite good, and they will usher in a very enlightened ending! Now at the beginning, I think they will use the victory to prove themselves, to let people understand their Just how good it is."

Of course, some people are still dissatisfied: "The lineup of the Hornets, at least for now, can only be said to be an unknown before the regular season officially starts! We need to use real practice to test whether this team really has the so-called Qualifying for the championship."

Yes, go around, and in the end, I can only leave it to the competition!

Let the game decide what kind of team the Hornets are.

The game will be played at the home court of the Hornets.

The Hornets have a neat lineup, all play!

In today's arena, there were more than 2 fans. Now the Hornets have indeed ushered in a new life. Before Paul's arrival, this was a team with only 8000 people at home.After Paul's arrival, this number rose to about 2, and now, with Zhong Yu's rise, this number has become more than [-]!
Although the Hornets cannot be said to be a big ball market, they were able to achieve such impressive results.

"Hornets! Come on!"

At the beginning of the warm-up, the fans in the arena were almost boiling.

Then, under the illumination of the lights, two figures, one tall and one short, appeared in front of everyone. Through the big screen, you can see that the numbers on the chests of these two figures are three and five respectively. !
Immediately, the entire arena erupted!

"Zhong Yu! Zhong Yu! Shadow Assassin!"

"Paul! The queen bee is showing off." The fans of the two turned the entire arena into a place where people couldn't help feeling excited.

Every place is full of the power of sound explosions, and every place seems to burst people's eardrums with their voices.

This is the attention and popularity that Zhong Yu and Paul have gained now!

Especially Zhong Yu, he is only a sophomore now, but his popularity in New Orleans is close to equal to that of Paul.Looking at the entire American basketball world, Zhong Yu's fame may be due to his special position as a shooting guard, and he is even bigger than Paul...

When such a thing happened, Zhong Yu was also a little embarrassed, but there was no way, Paul was very strong, but he did not receive too much attention in the entire basketball world.

Even after a stellar season.

Of course, after Zhong Yu and Paul formed the league's strongest backcourt, Paul's popularity in China has also risen sharply, to a rather terrifying level.

As soon as the Warriors players came out, they heard the cheers of the fans for Zhong Yu and Paul. Suddenly, everyone was a little envious...

Their home atmosphere is not so good.

However, they want to win this game, and they want to prove that those who say that the Hornets can abuse them are all bastards, guys without eyes!

Both teams want to prove themselves!
Of course, it is impossible for the Hornets to want to lose. Now they need a perfect season to really improve themselves to the height of a strong team.
