Chapter 36: Against the Wasps
The New Orleans Hornets have been renamed the New Orleans Pelicans in the later generations of Qin Zheng, but they were still a strong team in the Southwest in 0809.
In fact, the Hornets were not in New Orleans at the earliest, but in Charlotte, in North Carolina, but there are four devil schools such as North Carolina Duke, so the basketball atmosphere was preempted by college students, so the Hornets moved from Charlotte to New Orleans, and later Charlotte established the last team in the NBA, the Bobcats.
When the Hornets changed their name to the Pelicans, the Bobcats immediately changed their name to the Hornets, and they also inherited the records of the Hornets before '02, while the Pelicans could only start from '02.
But when it comes to the old team, Qin Zheng just wants to laugh that it is indeed a team named Anaheim, yes, it is a base team.
However, this team only had zài for a year and then withdrew from the league, so Qin Zheng was very glad that it withdrew, otherwise what should I do if I still have zài now? Could it be that I'm playing on the base team?
If so, will all the players on their team be considered a?
"I wonder if Queen Bee Paul will come to the Clippers?" In fact, Qin Zheng really wants Paul to come over, if he wants to win the championship, he must have a helper, even if Jordan is a god, there are Pippen, Rodman, Langley, Grant, Cole, Cococzy, O'Neal so hanging, and there are Kobe, Fisher, Horry and others around him.
If you want to win the championship, you can't lack good teammates around you, you must know that in the next few years, the stronger the stronger, the weaker the weaker, especially after the beginning of 16 years, the new salary cap begins, and the annual salary of 30 million and 40 million is not nothing.
And the Clippers have a big advantage? That's in Los Angeles, the second largest city in the United States.
Although the boss of Los Angeles is the Lakers, the current fans all look at the results, and whoever has good results, Lao Tzu is the fan of that team.
Qin Zheng still remembers that in his last life, when the Knicks formed Anthony Roth Noah, Qin Zheng would say when he chatted on the Internet, "It's time to show Lao Tzu's identity as a Knicks fan for more than 20 years, Lao Tzu has been watching Knicks games since Ewing Oakley's time, and I watched the game when the Knicks vs the Rockets in the finals in 94." But Qin Zheng's words are ridiculous, everyone in the group knows that he was only 4 years old in 94, and he didn't even know what basketball was? Did you like the Knicks at that time?
So grades are the most important thing? Qin Zheng firmly believes that if the Clippers can also have a triple championship, Los Angeles can bring at least half of the fans, and the fans in the United States are not as loyal as England.
There is its own deposit, and the Clippers are definitely the home team of Huaxia when the time comes.
"When the time comes, if there are rich people, can they still do the Heat and the Cavaliers with James? Can you still do the thunder with the king bomb and the warriors of the five smalls? "Besides, Qin Zheng still plans to bring the first brother here? While increasing the strength of your own team, you must definitely do such a thing as weakening the strength of other teams!
Besides, even if you can't pull a brother by then, isn't there a kawaii as a spare tire!
Kawaii was the 15th rookie in the first round in 11 years, and Qin Zheng believes that he will still be able to trade it back from the Pacers when the time comes.
Just see who changed it at the time, it really won't work when the time comes, and you can use Gordon, this deal is not a loss.
"Bang!" The basketball flew right over Qin Zheng's head, and it turned out that the Clippers were training at this time, preparing for the game against the Hornets at night.
"Qin, why didn't you see Gordon today?" Little Jordan ran over embarrassedly, the ball just now flew to Qin Zheng's head with too much force when he shot the basket.
When I picked up the ball, I asked by the way.
"I heard it looked like he had the flu, so Coach Dunleavy didn't let him play." This news was actually obtained by Qin Zheng from other people.
"That's a shame, without him, we have one less outside attack point, I don't know if we can beat the Hornets?" Jordan Jr. is still worried about the game against the Hornets, considering that the Clippers and Hornets did not win a single game in four games last season.
"Boy, are you content? It's not for you to defend Paul, what are you worried about? Qin Zheng asked with a smile.
Even if it's Okafor, Jordan Jr. doesn't necessarily have to lose to him, besides, aren't there three other big men on the Clippers?
But Okafor is easy to deal with, but West is not easy to deal with. You must know that West, like Randolph, has a strong interior line with face frame ability, and his back body skills are also very good, if they have a burst of hands, they can cut forty or fifty points.
The Hornets' point guard is not a good player, Devin Brown, a scoring guard who averages seven or eight points per game, which is very unqualified in Qin Zheng's opinion.
The small forward was Peja, the boss of the Kings at the time, a very good three-point shooter, a player who could score 25 points in his peak season and shot 44% from three-point range, and he didn't just shoot one or two, but averaged seven three-pointers per game.
Peja is also a player in the 180 club, and not just over 180, but 185.
Even though he's old, who knows if he'll feel good in this match?
The rest is their queen bee Paul, a person who doesn't need to be deliberately praised, but is a first-class point guard in the league, before he was injured, he was known as the league's first point guard, and even the Fengcheng Rose who was hanging in the sky was not an opponent.
The rest is their bench, and the Hornets have a much better bench than the Clippers, at least with bench gangsters like Armstrong, James Posey, and Darren Collisson.
On the other hand, the Clippers, what's on the bench?
"Whatever? I didn't expect us to win seven in a row, now that we're number one in the league, can we still not lose a single game in 82 games a season? Is that impossible? Losing to anyone is losing, nothing! Little Jordan explained to Qin Zheng on the side.
Don't look at Little Jordan's muscles and not his brain, but this brain is still very useful!
In fact, Qin Zheng still knows that Little Jordan's family is also a serious college graduate, Texas University of Technology and Agriculture, oh, no, it is Texas University of Science and Technology.
"Just play well in the evening, do your best, and then fight!" Qin Zheng still has some doubts about what the brains of black Americans are constructed in? There can be a paranoid like Kobe, a player like Jordan who is obsessed with winning and losing, and a player who can get by.
By five o'clock in the evening, the Clippers players were back for a nutritious meal, after all, they had to play at nine o'clock in the evening, and they would be in the locker room at half past eight.
