The Hornets, a wandering team, just sent away the team's two pillars, the muscular point guard Byron? Davis, and the equally muscular big man Magloyle.

With the little fat Delong, it is obvious that Davis, the strongest student in the No. 1 position in the league, is a little redundant, and there are two more terrible words associated with the word "strongest" - "injury".

Getting rid of the team's number one star makes the Hornets' prospects even bleaker, after all, Deron is only a first-year freshman, and there is no reason to ask him to do more, and it seems that the Hornets' hierarchy is just planning to clear the contract space, then fish in the free market, and then start a team resurgence, while New Orleans, a city that has just been sacked by a hurricane, has made all this tumultary.

At this moment, no one will know that in a few years, this team will be completely dumped by the owner who complained about the team's income and fell out with Charlotte, leaving the Hornets the first team to be temporarily taken over by the league because it has no owner.

Of course, the soap opera wasn't over yet, as the New Orleans Hornets eventually changed their name to the New Orleans Pelicans, while the Charlotte Bobcats, who were in charge of Jordan, spent $4 million to change back to the Hornets, a name with a special meaning.

And now, it seems that the situation in front of the Hornets is still a mess, and the only thing that makes people feel a little comfort is coach Byron? Scott found the core building blocks of the team's rebuilding - except for Delon? Williams, the other part of that component is called David? West.

The power forward with his accurate mid-range shot is incredibly dangerous in the face frame, despite his lackluster ability in the low post and despite his loose defense. Even though he's only a rookie at the No. 18 spot. Hidden under the glow of LeBron, Anthony, Wade, Bosh and other golden rookies.

It's like a one-winged angel. David finally found his other half of his wings......

Ford Center Arena in Oklahoma City, David? West pulled to the high position again, the solid cover made Delong's start extremely smooth, the Eagles' interior line suddenly contracted, and the basketball in the little fat man's hand was quickly thrown out, West relied on his height of two meters and six meters to step up and jump and shoot, and his stable and standardized movements accompanied by the sound of the basketball crossing the net helped the Hornets bite the score.

Thibodeau stood on the sidelines with his shoulders crossed. There was no special tactical setup for the Hornets' pick-and-roll tactics. Jiang Qi was still sitting behind the bench, chatting with Uncle Mu with a match.

"Isn't Uncle Tom going to make adjustments?"

"He wanted to see the changes to the Hornets' pick-and-roll offense in the first quarter."

"Uh, why? Ask for the insider! ”

Tom said three things in the prep meeting, the Hornets had just scored more than 50 points against the Spurs, the Hornets cleared out the contract space, and New Orleans suffered a natural disaster......

"And then?"

"Now the Hornets roster is going to fill in an inside barrier and an outside pitcher...... What do you think? Uncle Mu asked rhetorically.

Lao Jiang gasped, not because of the prospect induced by Uncle Mu, but because of Thibodeau's imagination.

David? West's ability to frame is undeniable, and low-post singles are a slightly extravagant means to skip it. The defense does need a partner to make up for West's shortcomings, and the presence of an outside shooter could further open up space for the Hornets' pick-and-roll...... As a "person who has come over". Lao Jiang knows the harvest of the Hornets next summer, and the physical champion Chandler can not only make up for the shortcomings of the Hornets' interior defense, but also stir up trouble on the inside, indirectly blocking and blocking the gaps in the low post. Although she is old, she is still not to be underestimated...... Thibodeau's prophecy is all right!

It's easy to beat the Hornets right now, just pinch David? West and DeLong? Williams these two points, the Hornets will be in chaos, and the only thing the Hornets can rely on now is the nerve knife of JR Smith, which is not more reliable than buying lottery tickets.

But if the opponent is the future Hornets, then it is certainly not advisable to casually empty a certain Hornets outside line.

So after the end of the first quarter, the scores of the two teams were not as obvious as the rankings.

Chris? Paul scored 5 points and 4 assists in the first quarter. Williams cut 3 points and 5 assists, unlike the Hawks, who were quite scattered by the assist points, Williams gave four of his 5 assists to David's classmates, and this has something to do with the Eagles' starting power forward is Dio, and the purpose of arranging the Frenchman as a big forward is that his footsteps can follow DeLong on the inside, but if he grabs it to defend David? West's words, firstly, he is at a disadvantage in terms of height, and secondly, Da Yao is easily impacted by the little fat man, and the partial-born JR feels good in the first quarter, and the other outside lines of the Eagles do not dare to let go of his care too much.

Thibodeau has already begun to sketch out the board, and he needs to further refine his team's rotational defensive sequence for various variations of pick-and-roll plays.

"No wonder this guy can get together with Jeff......", poking his probe to peek at the abstract painting on Uncle Tom's tactics board, Uncle Mu coughed twice.

However, the advantage of the current Hawks against most teams in the league is bench depth!

Under the command of the old monster Payton, the Hawks completely wiped out the Hornets bench with a new tenderness, which allowed Deron and West to return to the court with little respite.

Uncle Glove simply pushed Iguodala, who was left on the field, in front of Delong, and used his experience to make JR classmates awkward.

On the offensive end, Payton began to demonstrate a vivid offensive playmaking demonstration for Paul off the court: holding the ball to open up Iguodala's open cutting space, transferring to Granger's open three-pointer after breaking through, and finding an opportunity for the Polish Hammers to play tough guy style with West after PJ Brown, the only hard bone on the Hornets' interior line......

Off the court, Paul stared closely at Peyton Sr. on the court, and next to him, Pippen, a peer in gloves, was whispering something......

Jiang Qi can clearly feel Payton interpreting the word "ball quotient" on the court, he carefully hides his weaknesses, and then calmly controls the game, not only himself and his teammates, but also opponents, Delon really looks extremely green in front of Payton, Payton uses his shouts to command the defensive system of the Hawks rotation lineup, there is no doubt that on the bench in the first quarter, he has observed the characteristics of most of the Hornets' starters, he let Iguodala and Delon fight their bodies, squeezing his rhythm and footsteps, He asked Granger, who is extremely sensitive to projection, to keep an eye on West, and as for JR...... Payton Sr. almost spat on Smith's mentality, and even added two steals to the glove's stats as a result!

And every offense he organizes is almost a perfect display of the words "avoiding the real and attacking the false", which is undoubtedly the most vivid and direct inheritance for Paul off the court, the inheritance of the point guard! (To be continued......)
