The next game of the Rockets will be to the Charlotte Hornets, a team owned by the basketball god Jordan, and Paul and the Hornets still have a lot of connections.

When Paul first debuted, the team he was on was the Hornets, but the Hornets at that time were not the Hornets now, since the Hornets changed their name to the Pelicans, Joe's Bobcats changed their name to the Hornets.

Mr. Joe's Hornets are the youngest team in the NBA, and their results have been tepid, which is directly related to Mr. Joe's eyesight, and he chooses some parallel goods every time.

However, this season's Hornets are still very interesting, bringing in Howard, the former league's No. 1 center, and Walker, who has improved rapidly, to give them a place in the East.

"Do you have any ideas for the next opponent, the Hornets?" Paul asked Harden.

"You mean Howard? He's not the Howard he used to be! Ha Wait shook his head and said.

"Don't underestimate him, he doesn't fit in our team, maybe when he gets to the Hornets, he will reach the top again!" D'Antoni said.

As long as it is a team with a strong center, it will more or less restrain the small-ball team, although Howard's performance in the past two years has not been very good, it does not mean that he has no dominance on the inside, but compared with the current mainstream center, the function is a little simpler.

"When Howard was interviewed, he said that he wanted to leave an unforgettable memory for everyone, what do you think?" The teaching assistant said, holding the technical statistics table.

"Want to give us a dismount at home? The Hornets are still on fire! Paul said disapprehantly.

Walker, the absolute main force of the team, has just shown some headlining, and in terms of fame, Paul is more than one notch behind.

"That, a few guys, do you know the god of basketball?" When everyone finished talking, Cheng Lei came over and asked.

"You'll have to ask Paul, isn't he wearing a trapeze sneaker!" Harden said.

Paul went around the back of his head, his relationship with Jordan is not so deep, but he meets a few times a year.

"Can you help me get an autograph for him?" Cheng Lei said excitedly.

Jordan has always been Cheng Lei's idol, and Wu Chunlei also admires Jordan very much, if he can help him get an autograph, I believe this guy will be happy.

"Hungry, I thought it was something important, if you meet him at the Hornets' home court, I'll help you get one!" Paul said, but he's not sure that Jordan will be at home.

On the 28th, the Rockets flew to the Charlotte Hornets, as the youngest team in the NBA, there were still fewer fans than other old teams, and there were a lot of empty seats on the court.

Even if the Rockets have such a high level of popularity behind them, they didn't fill the Hornets home court, which shows that in normal times, there will be fewer spectators here.

Jordan is unbeatable on the basketball court, but the team he runs has been tepid, and his skills are completely opposite.

The Hornets are aiming to make the playoffs this year, while the Rockets are aiming to compete for the championship this year.

Before the game, it was reported that the Rockets' rookie Cheng Lei's magic was not there and that he had returned to mediocrity, that is, to report the grievances and feuds between Howard and the Rockets, an ordinary game, which was said to be like a revenge war.

However, everyone believes that the Hornets will not be the opponent of the Rockets, after all, with the Rockets joined by Paul, the strength has risen more than just a notch.

In the locker room, the atmosphere of the Rockets is still very harmonious, Cheng Lei changed his clothes early, and he was a little excited, maybe he could see Jordan today.

Harden is still the same, listening to the upbeat music in his ears, and swaying from side to side to the rhythm as he changes clothes.

The players of both teams often looked at the VIP seat in the first row of the Hornets in the commentary booth, and Jordan actually appeared at home to watch the game.

But when he heard the commentators talk about himself, Jordan stood up politely and waved his hand to the audience to thank him, which made the fans who came to the scene today feel that they have earned it.

As soon as Cheng Lei walked out of the player's tunnel, he saw Jordan waving, and the whole person was excited.

"Ray, take it easy, you're like this, it's the same as a rookie who just started playing!" Paul said with a ball to Cheng Lei.

Boom!

The ball was shot, the force was too heavy, and it bounced out.

After Capela grabbed the rebound, he dunked lightly, and Harden dribbled the ball on his own side.

The two teams hurried up to the final warm-up, "Howard seems to be very excited today!" ”

When Paul picked up the ball, he watched the warm-up of the opposite Hornets.

Howard actually practiced three points outside the three-point line, and he also scored several shots in a row.

"Don't worry, when it's time to play, he'll still stay inside!" Harden said as he continued to dribble the ball.

The warm-up was almost over, and D'Antoni made the final tactical set-up.

"The other party should be able to seize Howard's point and attack the inside, Capela, you have to be mentally prepared!"

"No problem, coach, I'll give it my all!" Capella nodded.

"Paul, don't be careless with Walker, who is opposite you, he is in very good shape this year!"

"Leave it to me!"

"We're going to play our own style, don't follow their rhythm! In the end, we will win the game! D'Antoni finally explained, encouraging the players by the way.

On the Hornets' side, Walker was also communicating with Howard, "Howard, you can show yourself to your heart's content today, and let the Rockets see your true strength!" ”

"I've been waiting for this moment for a long time, and I can't wait!" Howard said, flashing the muscles in his arm.

The commentators at the scene introduced the starting lineups of both teams last time, and the Rockets still used the starting lineup, and on the Hornets' side, Kemba Walker, Marvin Williams, Nicholas Batum, Cody Zeller, and Dwight Howard formed the starting five.

"Do you think the newcomers to the Rockets will have a better performance today!" For the first time in the commentary seat, Cheng Lei was discussed.

"In the first few games, he should have played for a long time, but in the last game, his performance began to fall, I guess this is his real level!"

"I don't think so, the Rockets have more bigwigs on the court, he has fewer opportunities, if he is given unlimited firing rights, I think, he will recover the data of the first two games!"

"Are you saying Harden is limiting his play?"

"I didn't say that!"

After the two commentators finished speaking, they laughed at the same time.

The whistle blows, and the game begins.

The referee threw the ball into the air, and Howard and Capela jumped up at the same time and grabbed the ball in the air.
