Chapter 243

First game! Warriors!

The war in the new season is about to be ignited. Please remember.

The alliance is brewing its arrogance again and is ready to explode directly.

The Lakers who failed in the finals last season, the Spurs who hated the semi-finals, the Cavaliers who were alone and alone, the Celtics who were in a stable state, and the Hornets who broke the stings in the Western Conference Finals...

Every team has its own demands for the new season.

In the 2008-09 season, the Bulls selected No. 1 pick Derek Ross, the white-robed young player, to bring new changes to the Bulls.

Each player will wash himself and defeat the enemy in the 2008-09 season.

October 5, 2008, n

A preseason opening game was first started by the Hornets and Warriors.

This season's Hornets have attracted a lot of attention. After a series of local trades strengthened, their lineup has already achieved the level of competing for the championship.

Therefore, there were not many fans watching this opening game.

However, what disappointed everyone was that in this game, Paul and Zhong Yu both played soybeans, and the Hornets almost all relied on their substitutes to play in this game. In this way, many people who were looking forward to watching Zhong Yu's performance just saw Zhong Yu's data orders with 7 points and 2 assists, and Paul was not seen after getting 4 assists. In the end, the Hornets defeated the Warriors with 101:97.

Although Paul and Zhong Yu hardly played much, the Hornets played very well, Reggie Evans and Cott Thomas scored 11 and 7 rebounds respectively, ensuring the Hornets' inside line. Although Ariza's shooting percentage was not high, he contributed three beautiful big hats.

West and Peja have not been on the stage for a long time.

What is interesting today's performance is the Rockets, which has established the "Big Three" mode. The combination of Yao Ming + Artest + McGrady has attracted a lot of attention. However, I don't know if the opponent is too strong, or if the Rockets' Big Three is just a pseudo-Big Three, or they have not completed the process. In short, the Rockets lost to their opponents on this day.

Four days later, the Hornets faced the Spurs. In this game, Zhong Yu and Paul still did not play much. Although the Spurs wanted to take revenge against Zhong Yu and Paul, the Hornets wanted to hide the striker, and they really had no choice. However, they found that the Hornets' substitute lineup was also quite difficult to entangle. Moreover, when the substitutes couldn't hold on, Zhong Yu and Paul would return to the court to make a fake shot. In such a tactic, the Spurs were so depressed that they wanted to vomit blood. At the last moment, Paul hit a three-pointer, which completely established the victory.

The preseason has been playing for nearly a month, but Zhong Yu and Paul don’t have much time to play. Of course, everyone thinks that Zhong Yu and Paul have made great progress. The team is hiding them in order to achieve unexpected results.

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

In these preseasons, the few people traded, Reggie Evans, can average 5 points and 11 rebounds per game, Cott Thomas can score 9 points and 8 rebounds per game, Ariza can score 11 points, 6 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks, the data is quite excellent... but his shooting percentage is only 35%.

However, although Ariza is revealing his Iron God nature, his defense is indeed what the Hornets need.

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

The preseason ended, the real n

a regular season, real n

a, the 2008-2009 season is about to begin!

Whether the Hornets have become the team they want can make up for the shortcomings of last season depends on this season.

On October 30, 2008, the Hornets' regular season opening game was officially held at home!

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

The Warriors and the Hornets fought in the opening game of the preseason, but today is different. Today is the day when the regular season officially begins. The Warriors are the first opponent the Hornets encountered in the regular season.

Before the game, all kinds of voices had already made enough forward-looking views on this game - all things. Most of them pointed to the Hornets' current lineup and the Warriors' current combat ability.

Last season, the Hornets achieved the second-place record in the Western Conference, giving the Hornets the best record in recent years.

"During the offseason, the Hornets have used rifles to enhance their internal strength, and on the outside, they have retained the powerful backcourt attacker Paco. Of course, there is no need to mention the double guns in the backcourt. The current Hornets have relatively good inside strength in the league and the most perfect and best outside strength in the league... It is very terrifying."

"The Hornets' current strength is indeed not to be underestimated. They are no longer the team that struggles and hoveres in the bottom substitute area. They are no longer the team that regrets to fall under the Lakers' iron hooves last season. This year's Hornets are quite strong! I dare even say that this is as strong as many people imagine."

"The Warriors have sent Davis away now. Although they bought Mageti, there is a serious reality in front of them - the team is seriously insufficient to get along! And the Hornets, the strong strength of the outside line, really makes the Warriors incomparable..."

…………

Such news naturally became evidence that many people are optimistic about the Hornets. They all believe that the Hornets have become a very outstanding team after the offseason reinforcement, especially the Hornets fans and Zhong Yu fans, who are also promoting momentum for the Hornets.

Of course, there are still many objections—

"The Hornets' lineup seems strong this season, 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 seen through by many teams in the league. This season can still sweep the world like last season? Finally, the Hornets' current lineup is simply lacking in running-in!"

There are also many such views, and many people believe that the Hornets lack sufficient running-in this season.

This was naturally refuted-

"The Hornets lack running-in? The lineups like Paul, Zhong Yu, West, Peja and Chandler swept the Mavericks last season, defeated the Spurs, and fought seven games with the Lakers... Those who lack running-in are at most new players who have just been traded, and they cannot affect the Hornets."

"Although the Hornets' current lineup is not perfect, it is indeed quite outstanding. They will usher in a very enlightened ending! At the beginning, I think they will use victory to prove themselves to let people understand how outstanding they are."

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

Yes, after all the time, I can only leave it to the game!

Leave it to the game to judge what kind of team the Hornets are.

This game was played at the Hornets' home court.

The Hornets have a complete lineup and they all play!

More than 20,000 fans appeared in the stadium today. Now the Hornets have indeed ushered in a freshman. Before Paul arrived, this was a team with only a few seven or eight thousand people coming to watch at home. After Paul arrived, the number rose to about sixteen or seven thousand, and now, Zhong Yu has risen, and this number has become more than 20,000!

Although the Hornets cannot be said to be in the big market, they are able to achieve such impressive results.

"Hornets! Come on!"

When the warm-up just started, the fans in the stadium were almost in full swing.

Then, under the light, two figures, one tall and one short, appeared in front of everyone. Through the big screen, everyone could see that the numbers on these two figures were number three and number five respectively!

Suddenly, the entire stadium was in full bloom!

"Zhong Yu! Zhong Yu! Shadow Assassin!"

"Paul! Queen Bee shows its power." The two fans made the entire stadium a place that made people feel excited.

Every place is full of the power of sound explosion, and every place seems to be the sound of people's eardrums that will shake.

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

Especially Zhong Yu, he is only a second-year student at this time, but his popularity in New Orleans is almost on par with Paul. Looking at the entire American basketball world, Zhong Yu's fame may be bigger than Paul because of his special position as a shooting guard...

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

Even if it has a brilliant season, it is the case.

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

As soon as the Warriors players came out, they heard the cheers from all the fans at Zhong Yu and Paul. Suddenly, they were also a little envious...

Their home atmosphere is not that good.

However, they wanted to win this game, and they wanted to prove that those who said that the Hornets could abuse them were all bastards and some guys with no eyes!

Both teams are determined to prove themselves!

Of course, it is impossible for the Hornets to lose. Now they need a perfect season to truly improve themselves to the height of a strong team.
