Chapter 1 My name is Horn
New Orleans, Louisiana, Spring 2011.
The New Orleans Arena is located in the central business district of New Orleans, and the exterior wall of the arena is made of tempered glass, so at night, when the bright lights in the arena shine from the inside out, the New Orleans Arena looks like a giant glowing glass box.
Tonight at the New Orleans Arena, the Orleans Hornets are at home against the Atlanta Hawks.
By this time, the game had reached the middle of the third quarter, and the Hornets were 61; The 82 trailed the Eagles by as many as 21 points.
In fact, the real strength of the Hornets is not bad, and the reason why they are so far behind is only because the Eagles' strength is the wing, and the Hornets' weakness is also the wing.
On the court, the Hawks' Josh Smith took a quick turn past the Hornets' interior Jason Smith from the baseline before scoring two points on an easy layup against the Empty Blue.
Seeing his team's flank defense so lax, Hornets head coach Jason Ball couldn't help but jump in anger.
But before he could speak, a loud roar broke out from the very end of the Wasp bench: "Jason, move your ass one more inch outward to squeeze that proton out of the baseline, force that proton jumper, and make him brainless jump shot!! ”
The high-pitched roar choked Bauer couldn't spit out a word, and his lines were completely robbed. Ball, who was robbed of his lines, glanced resentfully at the Asian face at the end of the bench, his rotation inside lineman Horn Ann.
Of course, Josh Smith also heard Horn's yelling, and he was called a prodigal, and he yelled at Horn very dissatisfied: "Shut up! A water dispenser that can't be played! ”
"The water dispenser can freeze you on the court, profligate!"
On the sideline, Horn and Smith began to exchange words, and the referee of the game, the bald Horford, who was known for his harshness, immediately turned his head to stop the two men: "Shut up, y'all!" ”
The referee was the biggest on the court, and neither Horn nor Smith wanted to mess with Horford, the mad dog, and both of them quickly shut their mouths.
But this scene on the sidelines was captured by a keen photographer, so that the fans and the commentators on the sidelines also watched this interesting scene.
The game was broadcast by TNT, and there was such an interesting scene, Kevin Harlan, the commentator on the sidelines, immediately smiled and said: "Horn is indeed a wonderful guy, and he can actually stir up trouble when he stays on the sidelines." The Hornets are losing him now, which is a big loss indeed. ”
Doug Collins, who is partnered with Kevin Harlan, is more responsible for analyzing the game, so when he heard his partner say this, he immediately said in detail: "Yes, the wing of the Hornets has been weak this season, and now Horn's movement speed has dropped greatly after returning from injury, which has affected the overall defense of the Hornets." Ball has been on the bench for sixteen games, and it looks like Horn has completely lost the team's trust. ”
"Well, Mike Green's column also said that the Hornets are interested in cutting or trading Horne."
Kevin Harlan and Doug Collins easily spoke of Horn's predicament, and Horn was sitting next to the water cooler like pins and needles.
Previously, he played power forward in the Hornets' rotation, and he was more solid in terms of time and position. At 2.10 meters tall, Horn is able to move quickly laterally and provide much-needed flank defence for the team.
Horne was an integral part of the Hornets' roster, but he suffered a knee injury in the middle of the season when he was training, and his movement speed was greatly reduced after the injury, and he was unable to provide help for the team. The team's head coach, Jason Ball, pressed Horn directly to the end of the bench, and Horn has not played 16 games in a row so far.
After being abandoned for such a long time, the end will definitely be either devolved or traded and eliminated. Either way, it would be a huge blow to Horn's career.
In this situation, Horn feels like a fire is burning in his heart all the time, and if he doesn't make adjustments, his basketball career may be ended?
Horne is very uncomfortable on the sidelines, and the Hornets are also very hurt to lose Horne such a mobile interior lineman. The Hornets' main lineup interior combination is Okafor and West, two interior lines who are not very mobile. The bench lineup is Aaron Gray and Jason Smith, two slower interior lines, and the entire Hornets have a mobile surname strong interior line, which is now scrapped, and the team's assistance defense level immediately plummeted a notch, and the team fell from seventh in the West to 10th in the West, and the team's playoff qualifications are about to be gone. So the Hornets also miss the uninjured Horne before.
Today the Hornets met the Eagles with a bunch of strong players on the wings such as Josh Smith, Al Horford, Marvin Williams, and Joe Johnson. It didn't make sense not to lose the game, and the Hawks won 113-89 over the Hornets.
The Hawks were elated after the win, while the Hornets were depressed after losing the game, and after losing this game, they were six wins away from the eighth place in the West, and now that it is March, it will be very difficult to catch up with six wins.
The team's number one star, Chris Paul, went even darker after returning to the locker room and went home without even attending the post-game wrap-up meeting.
The stars are like this, and the rest of the people don't dare to breathe, so they take a bath like a gourd and then go home obediently.
Horn left the arena and drove his car back to the apartment, Horn rented an apartment in New Orleans in the old town of France, the streets of this generation are very narrow, and the surrounding buildings are very messy, so Horn feels that the surroundings are dark after getting off the car.
Horn fumbled for the key out in the dark night, and was about to open the door when he heard a sound in the dark corner of the wall.
The security of this generation is not good, so Horn immediately put his hand on his waist and yelled in this direction: "Who! ”
At Horn's roar, there was a flicker in the darkness in the corner, and a petite girl squirmed out.
She was wearing a small pair of denim hot pants to show a pair of smooth and slender long legs, wearing a camouflage vest on her upper body, her breasts were not very large, her breasts were firm as small lotus tips, she was carrying a big travel bag on her back, her long black hair was combed into an energetic ponytail, and her big black eyes looked at Horn timidly.
"You, are you Horn?"
"Who are you, of course?"
Horn didn't remember knowing such a little beauty, just when Horn was confused. The little beauty who was standing there suddenly pounced on Horn, she opened her arms like a little bird and hugged Horn, crying: "Husband, I finally found you!" ”
