Charlotte's basketball history is divided into two parts, one with the Charlotte Hornets and the other with the Charlotte Bobcats.

In '04, the Hornets flew to New Orleans, and in the same year the NBA expanded and re-formed a team in Charlotte, called the Charlotte Bobcats.

Later, the Hornets changed their name to the Pelicans, and the Bobcats also changed their name back to the Hornets, and the history of the New Orleans Hornets in Charlotte was resumed.

It looks like it's never left, but it's a completely different team for a long time.

As a newcomer to the league, the Hornets have been the best team in the East since they entered the league in 04, until the famous Michael Jordan became the owner of the team, bringing a new group of managers, who have won many drafts and trades, and finally completed a breakthrough in team history in the 09~10 season and entered the playoffs for the first time.

It's just a pity that that one playoff finish didn't really make them a playoff powerhouse, and after what seemed like a breakthrough season, the Hornets were once again reduced to the belly of the fish, and it was four years since they reached the playoffs for the second time.

This year was also the last time the Hornets used the Bobcats name, and they ended the Bobcats with the second playoff in team history.

At the end of the season, they officially changed their name to the Hornets to play in the league.

Unfortunately, the name Hornets didn't bring them good luck either, and this season, they only made the playoffs once and were eliminated in the first round.

This season's Hornets are still a lottery powerhouse, ranked 10th in the East, and the most famous person on the team is owner Michael Jordan.

This was followed by the team's players, Kemba Walker and Howard.

This is also a strange phenomenon in the league, and when most fans react to the Hornets, they subconsciously say that this is Jordan's team, and then they will say who is on this team.

However, it doesn't feel strange that such a strange phenomenon happened to Jordan, just because the man's name is Michael Jordan, it's as simple as that.

Charlotte's basketball atmosphere is very strong, which can be seen from the fact that after the Hornets left for New Orleans, the league immediately gave Charlotte a place to form a team, and the league was reluctant to give up this piece of fat.

It doesn't feel too good to play away in a city like this, especially back-to-back away games.

Today was a challenge for the Bulls.

Hojberg still uses Li Ming's strategy of playing the starting game with four substitutes, namely point guard Grant, scoring guard Li Ming, and the small forward uses the rookie Poundexter this time, of course, this rookie does not mean that he is a rookie, this is a player who has been playing in the league for five years, but because of the injury, it has not been activated until now, it is a very easy to use 3D player, and the small forward who also belonged to the physical flow style of play before the injury, and now he has just come back, and I don't know what the specific state is, If it weren't for the fact that the team is playing back-to-back away games right now and the other players are not in good shape, Hojberg would not have used him so rashly.

The power forward is also a rookie player who has just recently been added to the bench rotation lineup, and although he has only played in the NBA for two years, he already has a lot of experience in the Brazilian league.

It's just that the physicality is very good, but he is not competitive among players in this category, which is why Hojberg has not used him in the previous games.

With two newcomers in the starting line-up, it can also be seen that the winning streak is a pressure that has forced Hojberg to use more rotation to keep the players fit and reduce the risk of injury.

The big center position is Kanin, the interior rookie who was only selected this year has been good on the court, if it weren't for Li Ming's strong rise, then this year's regular season, their primary goal would definitely be to cultivate this interior potential stock.

The Hornets had not played before, and they were in a state of waiting for work, and the mental outlook of the players who came out of the players' tunnel one by one was full of energy, glowing, and obviously full of energy.

Their starting five were point guard Kemba Walker, shooting guard Batum, small forward Gilchrist, power forward Marvin Williams and center Howard.

These players are considered to have a certain reputation in the league, such as point guard Kemba Walker, the MOP of the NCAA back then, you know, but all stars, especially after 10 years, few entered the league after winning the NCAA championship, most of the MOPs are mostly role players after entering the league, and many of them left the league after their rookie contracts.

Of the MOPs that have been counted over the years, there may not be anyone other than Anthony Davis who can reach the level of Kemba Walker.

Like Anthony Davis, he was only a goal to win the championship, not to increase his sales, and was eventually selected by the Hornets with the ninth pick in the first round.

Every Hornets guard who arrives has a special meaning because the owner of this team is the greatest guard in the NBA, Michael Jordan. As far as guards are concerned, as long as you have watched Jordan play, it is difficult not to admire him, and growing up in front of such seniors is actually full of pressure.

Fortunately, Kemba Walker withstood the pressure and gradually grew into a first-class point guard in the league, and in the first season after the Hornets changed their name, they made the playoffs with him as the core. Although he fell in the first round of the playoffs, his performance was still very bright, averaging 22.7 points and 4 assists per game, showing his ability to be the core of the house.

Of course, last season due to the team's personnel changes, the Hornets, who had just had some hopes, once again missed the playoffs and ranked tenth in the East.

Fortunately, Boss Joe has the ability to get Dwight Howard, who was once the league's No. 1 center, this offseason, and selected Marrick Monk, a potential scoring guard from Kentucky, to make up for the shortcomings of the scoring guard and center in the lineup, and complete a very excellent roster upgrade.

It's just that at the moment, there have been some problems with the team's run-in, which has led to the chemistry of the whole team not being optimal.

However, even so, today is definitely a tough battle for the Bulls, after all, the team that has won 12 in a row, everyone wants to put an end to it. What's more, now that the Bulls are still playing back-to-back away games.

With such a favorable time and place, the yellow powder team is naturally holding back their strength and wants to make today's game a big upset.

Howard and Kanin compete for the ball, as the former league's No. 1 center, although his ability is definitely not up to the past, but there is still a clear advantage in fighting for the ball with a rookie like Kanin.
