New Orleans, Louisiana.

It's a magical city, and for most Celestial Empire people, the first impression of New Orleans is often a food......

New Orleans Grilled Chicken Thigh Burger, or New Orleans Grilled Wings.

Yes, it's more pit, it's clear that New Orleans is a big city, but the first impression has become synonymous with food, and everyone is embarrassed.

It's like mentioning Beijing, and the first impression is not that the Great Wall is not the Forbidden City, but a duck...... You say embarrassing, not embarrassing.

Now the team in New Orleans is still the Hornets, they haven't changed their name to the Pelicans, and the queen bee is still Paul, although this is Paul's last year here.

To be fair, Paul has brought a lot of accolades to the Hornets, and while the Hornets have had star players like Larry Johnson and Alonzo Mourning before him, none of them have been able to bring the Hornets out of the Western Conference like Paul.

Someone once said that the league owed Paul an MVP, well...... This statement is not very accurate, after all, Kobe Bryant was also fierce that year, and in the final showdown of the regular season, the Lakers led by Kobe defeated the Hornets led by Paul, so it is normal to say that the MVP is given to Kobe.

What's more, Paul was young at the time, and everyone thought he had more opportunities.

But who would have thought that would be the closest Paul has come to MVP.

The Hornets are not as good as they were at their peak, mainly because after Paul's injury, their strength was affected to a certain extent, and then the inside barrier Chandler went out to Dallas next door, making the Hornets very disadvantaged inside.

Although they now have Okafor, the best rookie in '04, the problem is that Okafor is no longer the man who can beat Warcraft in '04 because of injury problems, and his role is really not as good as Chandler's.

The current Hornets mainly rely on the cooperation between Paul and David West.

West is an amazing man, he is not tall, just 206cm, and his weight is not big, less than 110kg, but what, this guy has a wide range, and he is a thief at medium range!

A power forward, the range can reach beyond the three-point line, and the mid-range is unusually stable, in the league where small ball is not popular at the moment, only Lewis and Nowitzki can compare to him.

Space power forward, West should also be one of the representatives.

Of course, West is better than Lewis, because Lewis is too obsessed with three-point shots, West's mid-range bull B, long-distance is okay, and there are also one or two hits on the inside, and the inside line can also play with a back body or a hook hand, which can be said to be able to be inside and out, but the height is not enough, and the athleticism is average, so the rebounding protection is not good, and defensively, West's frame protection ability is not good.

Originally, when Chandler was at the Hornets, they didn't have to worry about that because Chandler was a good rim protector.

Now it has been replaced by Okafor, although the offensive end is better, but defensively, Okafor is more than one street behind Chandler.

The Hornets this season's inside frame is really not good, losing points every game to death, as if it were dragging their feet, if it weren't for Paul, Belinelli and other outside lines, I'm afraid the Hornets would play very hard every game.

The interior line that drags its legs, the outside line that struggles to survive, this is the current state of the Hornets, Paul is really fighting this season, and getting 11.5 assists per game is also his strongest state!

However, there are too many gods in the West, and the Hornets are just barely wandering on the edge of the playoffs, which can be regarded as the playoff goalkeeper of the West.

The Hornets have done a really bad job of reinforcement this season, basically no reinforcement, plus there is a big problem with the management, the team has almost become the kind of no father, no mother and no salary, and Paul can still bring the team to the top eight in the West under various blows, which is already very good, and someone else may have knelt a long time ago.

Of course, West has played very well with the help of Paul, this guy has been very bright in recent seasons, although he has taken advantage of Paul, but the data is really good, with an average of 20+ scorers per game, and a big contract!

"Seventeen-foot assassin", this is the nickname Paul gave West, and his blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation with Paul is a bit like what Stockton and Malone meant at the beginning.

And West also has good ball control, and can even break through with the ball in the high post! This guy is really good value.

So this year's Wasp is a state of internal and external imbalance.

"Gotcha, Elton is worse at power forward."

On the plane, Han Miao and Hayward were looking at the opponent's intelligence, because they had long known that West was powerful, so Han Miao specially looked at West's data this year.

41 games scored in double figures, including 28 times 20+ and 8 times 30+, tsk...... This offensive firepower is really good.

Brand definitely can't stop West, and after the injury, Brand is even slower, although West's athleticism is not good, but he is compared to Brand...... Ahem, that's still West fast.

And West's range is too wide, Brand has to defend it, but the problem is that if Brand pulls to a high position and West chooses to break through forcibly, then Brand can't prevent it!

Although Brand has averaged 15+8 per game so far this season, West's 20+7 is not scared of him at all, and it can only be said that after the captain is old, everyone wants to step on him.

"Don't talk about him, talk about you, Chris is now the league's No. 1 point guard, and you're in even more trouble."

Hayward gloated that after all, judging from the current situation, he has to play against Ariza, and although Ariza is okay defensively, he can't attack, and he is a famous "iron tie", so Hayward feels that he will have a lot less pressure.

"Chris, actually, Chris is okay to say."

What came to Han Miao's mind was the appearance of Paul after he later transferred to the Rockets, who is now younger, faster, more accurate, and sharper in passing.

But then Han Miao remembered that the nickname that people gave Paul later was "3 Cannons" and nicknamed "Luo 3 Cannons", and hissed...... Suddenly, I felt that Paul was really happy, and he "Luo 3 cannons", hahahaha......

"Hey, what are you laughing at?"

Hayward looked at his good friend who suddenly laughed, and suddenly felt a chill in his back.

Damn, this guy can't be stupid, right?

"It's okay, it's just a joke."

Han Miao signaled that she had no problem, and she really wanted to laugh a little when she thought of Paul's face.

A cute little fat man with big eyes......

"Host, theoretically, Paul wasn't fat......"

The system couldn't help but complain.

"Oh, but he doesn't have a big ass and looks fat."

"Tsk...... People pay attention to this person's technology, you actually pay attention to other people's ass, host, your thoughts, it's very dangerous......"

Han Miao: "......"
