ps: Thanks for the 100 starting coin reward of Kill Wolf 444
The next day, on the Atlanta Hawks' plane, most of the players were actively catching up on sleep. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
There are only a few guys like Ruan Erniu, and they are not sleepy.
Mike Woodson said disgruntled to Larry Drew next to him: "I should have issued a 'curfew', even though the regular season hasn't started yet, our players are clearly not in the groove. ”
Larry Drew said: "There are guys who are in good shape, like our rookie in the Celestial Empire. ”
Woodson nodded and glanced at Erniu's seat and said, "If we were all like Kraft, I would have a lot more peace of mind!"
Nguyen Er Niu, who doesn't need to catch up on sleep, is discussing with Tyronn Lue and Sheldon Williams about the upcoming opponent and the final opponent of the preseason - the New Orleans Hornets.
"In addition to CP3, are there any other characters in this team that need to be paid attention to?" Ruan Erniu asked.
"Peja Stojakovic, the Kings' former 3-point shooter, you don't know, do you?" said Lou.
"And their power forward, David West, who is not famous, but who also had 18+8 stats last season. "The 'landlord' also added.
"Then who is their center?" asked Ruan Erniu.
"'Tyson' the King of Fighters," Lou replied.
Ruan Erniu made a grimace with a smile, and then said, "Unless I go to the boxing ring!"
Tyronn Lue said with a little emotion: "'King of Fighters' is his nickname, and the Hornets' center is named Tyson Chandler, who also had close to 9+12 data last season, and is a high-quality insider." Come to think of it, if they can stay healthy, the New Orleans could be a league powerhouse this season!"
Ruan Erniu asked strangely: "Listen to you, the Hornets were miserable last season?"
Tyronn Lue smiled: "Injuries are always a headache, it's nothing. But have you ever seen a team that doesn't even know where your home stadium is?"
Ruan Erniu was puzzled: "What does this mean?"
Sheldon Williams said: "Don't you know about Hurricane Katrina in 2005?"
Erniu said: "I only arrived in the United States in February 06, did this hurricane blow away the home of the Hornets?
Tyronn Lew said: "Although I don't understand what you mean by tofu dregs project. However, natural disasters have never been something that human beings can resist. Catalina, the second-largest hurricane in the country's history, landed in Louisiana, where New Orleans is located, and is said to have killed nearly 2,000 people at the time. ”
In fact, Lu's words are just the beginning of things, and the later story is more like a bloody rice drama, the city of New Orleans is paralyzed in the face of natural disasters and becomes an anarchic city for a time. Looting ensued, arson and bows were frequent. Faced with the uncontrollable chaos, many local police officers have submitted their resignations.
In the end, the government had to withdraw some of its troops from abroad to fight the local mob. The casualties in the aftermath of a catastrophe are likely to be greater than those incurred during a catastrophe. In the face of natural disasters, human beings will always be so small.
Ruan Erniu then asked, "So, where is the home of the Hornets in the past two years? Wasn't their territory destroyed by the hurricane?"
"They went to Oklamaho and used it as their makeshift arena," Lew said. No matter how you look at it, it's a team that hasn't been very lucky. ”
At this time, no one thought that as the Hornets moved back to their hometown, the people of Russia, who had fallen in love with the top basketball game, were desperate to welcome a basketball team of their own.
On Oct. 25, the Atlanta Hawks finally arrived in New Orleans, a city that had nothing to do with the players.
Even if the guys wanted to play, Woodson would definitely stop them. The Hornets are a good opponent to test the team's fighting ability, not to mention that the regular season is coming, and at this time, it is indeed time to get into the groove early and get off to a good start to the 07-08 season.
At the newly completed New Orleans Arena, the Hawks began half-court pregame training.
After catching up on the plane, a group of beasts returned to their state. Ruan Erniu bets that when they return to Atlanta, they will definitely have fun again, after all, once the regular season starts, they will have to bear a lot of pressure to go to nightclubs.
Ruan Erniu was warming up and observing the situation in the Hornets half. Of course, the object of observation will not be Tyson Chandler, since defeating Howard, Nguyen Er Niu's pickiness for the importance of interior opponents has risen to the top. And his goal now, of course, is the best rookie in the class of '05 - Queen Bee, CP3, Chris Paul!
Ruan Erniu's first impression of the league's hottest point guard was that this guy was definitely a height fake. Compared to Tyronn Lue next to him, this guy is definitely not 6 feet (183cm), and he is wearing sneakers, and his estimated height is around 180-181.
What's even more surprising is that, judging from Larry Drew's data, CP3's rebounding data last season was actually 5.1 per game. You know, many genuine NBA interior players can't reach this data.
Look at Marvin Williams next to you, you are a 6-foot-9 inch interior player, and your average rebounds per game last season were only 5.3, compared with Paul, it is simply a tragedy! What's more, Marvin is still the eye of the 05 class, and the rank is higher than the CP3 of the fourth pick.
Before the start of the game, CP3, as the protagonist, came to the Eagles' half to say hello, and after exchanging a few words with Embarrassment, he also took the initiative to find Ruan Erniu.
Paul said, "Hey, hello, Kraft, I've heard of you, it's said that you killed Dwight in the preseason?"
Ruan Erniu said modestly: "Hello! Chris, it's just an ordinary preseason game, even if it comes to the regular season, it doesn't mean anything, only defeating the opponent in the playoffs is the real victory!"
Paul said, "You have heard a lot of rumors about you, but there is one thing that you have not been seen in the same way, and you are as humble as your compatriot Yao, which is a virtue!"
Ruan Erniu said with a smile: "Saying so much, it won't be that I'm going to let me release water in the game, right? No matter who enters my inner line, I will let him fall from the sky!"
Paul also smiled and said, "Good, but don't worry, I'll put the ball in the basket before you shoot!"
After speaking, the two shook hands amicably and continued their warm-up training.
Looking at Paul's back, Embarrassed Sen said to Ruan Erniu: "Chris is a good person, this is the consensus of most people in the league. Do you think he's kinder?"
Ruan Erniu gave a surprising answer: "He is indeed very friendly, but I don't like him at all." Perhaps, I am the same kind of person as him!"
Embarrassed Sen was a little confused: "Since he is a type of person, why don't you like him?"
Ruan Erniu didn't give a specific explanation, and there were some intuitive things that couldn't be explained.
