On March 7, the Hornets' and Lakers' focus battle was held at the Hornets' home arena, the Smoothie King Center.

This ordinary game, which has been hyped up by the media, has become a life-and-death battle for the Lakers, and it is about their longest winning streak in the league, and there is no room for failure.

Although the Hornets have won 33 in a row and are catching up with the Lakers' record, the Hornets are still behind the Lakers in terms of chronological order. As long as the Lakers can beat the Hornets in this pinnacle matchup, they can defend the title of longest winning streak.

This looks funny, and the winning streak was not won by Kobe Bryant himself, so why do they have to fight for their lives?

In fact, for athletes, honor is much more important than money (of course, provided that the athlete is rich enough). Don't you see, why did the Celtics form the Big Three in the first place? Aren't Kevin Garnett, Paul Pearce, and Ray Allen combined for that championship ring?

Players who are truly supergiants and have a little pursuit will fight for honor! Whether it's setting their own records or defending them, they'll do their best. Because they already belong to this group and become part of this group; Once they slack off, losing the game is secondary, and the shame that hangs over them will be imposed on them for the rest of their lives, until they retire, until they die, they cannot be relieved.

Just like the current state of the Lakers, once they lose, they will probably be greeted with overwhelming accusations and praise for the Hornets. When people later mentioned wasps, they were the backdrop on the glorious road of wasps, which could never be eliminated.

Therefore, regardless of their previous record, they must win this game.

And for the Hornets, they have to win. Although it has reached heights that no team in the new century has reached, it still has not broken the record of the ancient Lakers. Now that they're playing at home, with home-court advantage and facing the Lakers, once a win is assured, it's conceivable that their future will be very bright.

They are the creators of this record, and they are part of the wasp. At that time, money and honor will come one after another, and fame and fortune will be gained!

The impact of the battle of New Orleans is huge, and almost all fans are watching this battle of kings. As a result, TNT made an exception to broadcast the game live.

League President David Stern also took time out of his busy schedule to watch the game in New Orleans.

When he was drafted, he saw Yang Yi's extraordinaryness at a glance, so he deliberately gave the fat man his phone number. It's just that he didn't expect that the fat man would be extraordinary to this extent, almost all of the league was pressed and beaten by him with the Wasps, and now he is facing the Lakers head-on and hitting the Lakers' longest winning streak.

Of course, the most important reason for his coming to New Orleans is to ensure that this game is fair and impartial. In addition, I also hope to see the birth of a new king of the alliance.

Before the game started, he also specially said hello to Yang Yi and explained that he was at ease to play.

To be honest, the fat man still likes the old man Stern. After he entered the league, he did not suffer the slightest difficulty, and the referee did not give him unfair treatment. Even though he's yellow-skinned, he looks a little out of place among the league's black-and-white players.

All of this is thanks to Stern. Of course, the performance of the fat man is the most important thing. You don't see, Jeremy Lin, who is also Chinese, did not get this kind of treatment from the fat man, and still struggled with the mustache and the rockets, just to keep them eligible for the playoffs.

Strength is the most important foundation for survival in this league of the jungle!

……

Kobe Bryant looked at the Hornets players opposite him with a complicated expression, and his heart became heavier and heavier. He is tasked with defending the Lakers' glory, and he can't smile like a Hornets player with a smile as sunshine.

Speaking of which, he still has a trace of connection with the Wasps.

In 1996, Bryant was drafted by the Charlotte Hornets (now the New Orleans Hornets) and subsequently traded to the Lakers. Bryant knew that it was Charlotte who didn't want to keep him at the time. Dave (Cowens, then Hornets coach) told him at the time, "We don't need you to stay here. ”

He came to the Lakers in his rookie season and later formed the only dynasty team since the Bulls in the new century with Otto.

Bryant doesn't know if staying with the Hornets will create the same astonishing results as Yang Yi, and he has proven himself. He is a dynasty star, a champion star.

Now, the only thing he has to do is snipe the Hornets and put the Hornets to a stop at 33 straight wins.

The so-called soldier against soldier, general against general, as the main general of both sides, Kobe Bryant has this idea, and the fat man opposite him has another idea.

In the previous game against the Thunder, he did his best, taking away fifteen glory points from Oklahoma without spending a single point; After winning at home against the Pistons and Magic, he got ten glory points. After three games, he claimed a total of 25 glory points.

Now, he has been notified by No. 3 that if he can beat the Lakers at home, he will earn thirty additional glory points.

Previously, defeating Thunder was only a beginner difficulty side quest, rewarding ten glory points; Now it's a side quest on medium difficulty, and if you win, you will receive 30 glory points rewarded by the system.

Thirty glory points! It is equivalent to his exhaustion and exhaustion to defeat six opponents, and he can eliminate ten days of loan interest.

Before warming up, he learned through No. 3 that completing the primary side quest rewards ten glory points, intermediate side quests reward thirty glory points, and advanced side quests reward fifty glory points; As for the ultimate side quest, which is the hellish side quest, you can get a hundred glory points for completing it.

Whether it's out of the desire for points or the quest for honor, this game is a must-win.

Although he is still a rookie, a little fresh meat who has just entered the league, he is no worse than anyone in the league. In terms of both personal data and team record, he has been able to stand out from the crowd so far. All he lacked was a championship ring for glory.

And now, he is moving in this direction, and all the people in the league, or the team, who stand in his way, will become his sword or a stepping stone to advancement.

……

Shortly after the warm-up, with the referee's whistle, the most exciting regular season of the 12-13 season kicked off in New Orleans.

The two sides jumped the ball in the middle circle, and Howard easily dialed the ball from the top of Lopez's head to Nash, firing the first shot of the defense!
