321. The fifth consecutive guest from the southwest division came

The Hornets, also known as last season's Bobcats, have finally officially changed their name to the former Hornets! By the way, I also took back the history of the wasp that the current Pelicans don't want. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

That said, the Pelicans joined the league entirely as a new team, and the Bobcats became history.

Now that the Hornets have added that period of history at the beginning of the century, their team history resume is finally a little better, and they are the strongest team that has had a chance to reach the division finals.

This past offseason, Hornets owner Jordan poached Lance Stephenson of the Pacers with a two-year, $18 million contract, and completely sent the Pacers to the bottom of the abyss.

However, Stephenson is not as easy to use as he imagined, although the average of 8 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists per game is worthy of the salary of 9 million a year, but it is too far from the expected future star, Boss Joe is looking forward to Stephenson becoming an all-star or even a superstar, after all, Stephenson's data last season was an average of 14 + 7.5 + 4.9 per game, attacking, organizing, and defending everything, a short poor version of James's posture.

No one would have thought that Stephenson, who was in the final year of his rookie contract last season, would be the pinnacle of his career, and then get worse and worse, and in the end he couldn't even play.

Boss Qiao has been unlucky enough over the years, and Liu Ren once again asked him to cover his eyes and cry silently in front of the TV at Charlotte's house.

Liu Ren, who was "clean sheet" by the Suns in the last game, attacked wildly today, constantly impacting the Hornets basket, last season's three-team center Al Jefferson is a short center with strong offense and weak defense, and Liu Ren who rushed into the basket has no way at all.

On 15-of-24 shooting, Liu Ren scored 35 points and 7 rebounds in this game, leading the Lakers to a 112-100 victory over the Hornets to win six in a row.

At the same time, the Lakers overtook the 6-1 Warriors and topped the West!

The Lakers' easy schedule at the beginning of the game has come to an end here, teams like the Lakers and Cavaliers, which are strong and popular, have fewer games at the beginning of the season, and the league has arranged a relaxed schedule for them to adjust their state at the beginning of the season.

After playing the Hornets, the Lakers get two days off, and what will be followed will be a brutal five-game tour in the Southwest Division!

The Southwest Division is a great year to be, with all five teams now in the top eight in the West!

The Lakers' reach for the Western Conference Finals last season is still considered to have an element of luck in it, after all, the Clippers collapsed directly and did not hinder them much.

So this trip to the Southwest has become a litmus test for the Lakers, and the game has only two days to go, and it has already been hyped, and even the official Twitter is building momentum for the Lakers' trip to the Southwest Division.

After a day off, on the 11th, the day before the Grizzlies, the Lakers traveled to Memphis, Tennessee, to prepare for their first game.

……

"Ajiali, I'm really convinced of you, how expensive the house here is! Are you stupid? Abby looked at Adalie with an idiot's eyes.

Abby's foot was just right, and she was abducted by Agary to Los Angeles.

Abby didn't even think that Agarie would let her come to Beverly Hills to buy a house together!

"It's okay, my dad let me buy it casually, anyway, he pays, come and see, you can see the villa of the boss family with a telescope! Awesome or not! Ajiali said proudly.

"God, you're in the water! You bought a house just to spy on that bastard? Have you forgotten how badly he has done us? I'm losing my job right now. And didn't you say that? He has a girlfriend, or several, and he has several children. Abby felt a pain in her head.

"Isn't that right? Boss is so fraternity, it's not a problem to have more of us, didn't we say okay, we're going to marry the same person in the future. Agalie said as she lifted Abby's chin with her hand.

Abby slapped Agalie's hand away: "It was just a joke when I was a kid!" You remember it all now! ”

"Hee-hee," Agari laughed, suddenly something sounded, took out a document from her bag and said: "By the way, I have an interview invitation from the secretary general of Time Warner who asked me to pass you on, and he wants you to join Sports Illustrated and be in charge of interviewing the Los Angeles Lakers, how about it?" Since you're losing your job there, why don't you come to Los Angeles? ”

"You love to go, you go! I'm not going! Abby gave Agari a blank look, but after thinking about it, she still put the interview invitation in her bag.

……

There's no doubt that the Grizzlies aren't a championship contender, but no other team wants to meet the Grizzlies in the regular season or the playoffs.

It's so hard to gnaw on this hard bone!

Since the 2010-2011 season, under the leadership of coach Lionel Hollins, they have become the-stirring stick of the Western Conference playoffs, no matter how good the opponent is, even if they can't beat it, they can exhaust all the opponent's energy.

In the 11 playoffs, the Spurs were directly given to the Black Eight, and in the 12 playoffs, the Thunder was half killed in the Western Conference Finals, and the Thunder was slaughtered by the Heat in the finals.

Last season, the Spurs were a super powerhouse that surpassed all teams in the league, and with the departure of Hollins last season, the new arrival of coach Dave Joerg has made the Grizzlies' defensive system a little weaker and more dramatic on the offensive end.

Although the Grizzlies made the playoffs in the second half of last season because of their strengthened offense, the Grizzlies, who did not have the iron-blooded defense they had before in the playoffs, were used by the Spurs as a tool to distract the attention of other opponents, and they were no longer the team that no one was afraid of in the previous playoffs.

However, strengthening the offense is definitely good for the Grizzlies, who fell out of the top eight in the West last season and ranked tenth, thanks to the change of coach Joerger, who made the offense and defense relatively balanced, before returning to the playoffs.

The Grizzlies had a 24-11 record in 35 games led by Joerg last season, almost as many wins as they did in the first half of the season!

This year, the Grizzlies continued the style of play in the second half of last season and now tied the Warriors for second place in the West with a 7-2 record, better than the Rockets and Thunder.

Liu Ren took the initiative to find Carter, who was shooting to warm up: "Hey, flyer, can you still jump?" I want to see which of us dunks better. ”

"Haha, boss, you're the most beautiful dunk player in the league right now, but I can try it in the game." Carter seemed to be complimenting, but the meaning of his words was obvious.
