This small charity event ended up being a great gathering

The Hornets also got to know some new kids, and a lot of things in the world really depend on luck, and they received a basketball education at a very young age

Since Paul's return, the Hornets have become more and more invincible

First, they thwarted the aggressive Mavericks on the road, and in back-to-back games, they once again beat the Eastern Conference Bucks on the road

Another big win of more than 20 points

The Hornets have long since secured a playoff spot with a very strong record, and now they can at least rank in the top four in the West even if they don't win a game after that

Top four in the West

This is still the case after a winless run

The strength of the Hornets is evident

In these games, Jongwook averaged 37 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists per game, and his stats are still luxurious

And many people found that after Paul returned, Zhong Yu not only scored a lot less because of the ball distribution problem predicted by some, but also scored a lot higher

Paul averaged 21 points, 13 assists and three steals per game in those games, and his stats were as good as ever

After Paul's return, he also regained his position in the scoring charts, assists charts, and steals charts

He is currently 10th on the scoring charts, 1st on the assists charts, and 1st on the steals charts, which can be said to be an unprecedented achievement

Two firsts and a top 10 scorer...... The persuasiveness is too powerful

Paul and Jongwook averaged 58 points per game to become the league's highest-scoring backcourt pairing

The twin star shining alliance formed by Zhongyu and Paul became the hottest combination

At the same time, the Hornets' record is also steadily advancing, and they have already led the Lakers, who are second in the West, by 3 wins, and temporarily rank first in the league

These are all achievements that the Hornets could not have imagined before Paul's arrival

…………

Although Zhong Yu scored high points in each of these games, he was actually not as tired as before, which is also because he has a good point guard around him, and his teammates are not bad, but if it is before Paul returns, after these games, he can be as tired as a dog

But in these games, Zhong Yu's high scoring was basically exchanged for very few shots and a high shooting percentage

He didn't have many shots, but most of them were able to hit

And his shots don't have to be the same as before Paul came back, cheating fouls, splitting shots, or forcing shots, most of his current shots are mid-range shots and three-point shots

These are the effects of Paul's return

After Paul's return, the game was easy, and Chung Wook could really enjoy the game

Because Paul shared a lot of defensive pressure with him, he also had enough time and space to find gaps on the outside to shoot, and Paul had Zhong Yu to contain him, and his breakthrough was much easier

As a result, the complementary Hornets backcourt duo has become the undisputed best backcourt combination in the league now, averaging 58 points per game and becoming the brightest combination in the entire league

During this time, there were also many fewer claims that there was a problem between Jongwook and Paul

Because they have proven with their actions that their friendship with each other is still strong

…………

The playoffs are just around the corner, and most of the league's recent battles have seen a decrease in defensive intensity and intensity, with the exception of a few teams

Because the teams that know they have no hope of making the playoffs are already preparing for the post-season fishing rods, and the teams that have confirmed that they can make the playoffs will also have to recharge for the playoffs, so their intensity has dropped a lot

However, most people in the league predicted that it would be a very dramatic match, and the players on both sides would leave no stone unturned

The game will be played in New Orleans on April 9, 2009 Beijing time, and the New Orleans Hornets will host the Los Angeles Lakers.

There is no doubt about this match, everyone knows that this is going to be a fierce matchup

Some people call it a 'Western Conference Finals preview', but it's not too wrong, and although the Spurs, Nuggets and other strong teams are eyeing that Western Conference championship or even championship position, the most likely teams to meet in the Western Conference Finals so far this season should be the Hornets and Lakers

And the Hornets and Lakers also have a lot of grievances

In last season's playoffs, the two teams played seven games, and while giving the crowd a heart-wrenching feast, the two teams also bonded together

In the regular season this season, the Hornets and Lakers met once, and the Hornets defeated them

And now the second matchup of the regular season between the Hornets and the Lakers has arrived

It's hard to predict how far the game will go

However, most people generally say that they are bullish on the Hornets

This caused the Lakers star Kobe Bryant. Bryant's dissatisfaction: In the interview before the start of the game, the reporter deliberately mentioned that many people think that the Lakers are not the opponent of the Hornets, Kobe Bryant said a little unhappily: The game has not started yet, saying that nothing may come true, the Hornets are good, but I believe that we also have enough strength to fight against them, the Lakers are not easy to mess with, I hope everyone will not be blinded by the current record, after all, many games have to be really played to know

Kobe's words didn't sound like he mentioned much, but those who are discerning don't know that Kobe Bryant is saying that they are very strong

This is to say that they were able to beat the Hornets and to say that Kobe Bryant is already angry......

It seems that the game between the Hornets and the Lakers is destined to be a big battle worth watching, whether the Hornets sting the Lakers or the Lakers shooting the Hornets to death is still unknown

Then the reporters of the good thing also asked Zhong Yu what he thought about this matter, and Zhong Yu said lightly: We will use the game to prove everything to prove why we are the first in the west......

This sentence is extremely domineering

Soon attracted a burst of scolding from Comi, but at the same time, it also caused Zhong Yu's fans to applaud-

To put it mildly, someone like Kobe Bryant should reply so happily

Originally, yes, the Hornets are the first in the West, and they just have their own strength......

…………

The game is about to begin

The fans sitting at home were staring at the basketball court, and most of them were chatting

I used to think the Lakers were good...... But now I think they're terrible, they're just some bastards who don't pursue it...... The Hornets have Jongwook and CP3 and are easily able to beat them

Of course......

There's no doubt that Hornets fans have shaken off that silk identity they had long ago, and they're full of confidence to be confident enough to stand tall against any of the league's best teams

That's how the game between the Hornets and the Lakers is about to begin

During the warm-up, Kobe and Zhong Yu looked more friendly

Kobe Bryant said with a smile: I heard that you have to explain to us what is the first in the West

Yes, I said this, Zhong Yu also smiled: I also heard someone say that you don't believe in the record......

Both of them laughed, this atmosphere is a little weird, in fact, in the eyes of most people, Zhong Yu and Kobe Bryant fought several times in the playoffs last season, and in the All-Star Game, Zhong Yu stole Kobe's All-Star MVP...... No matter how you say it, it should be as deep as the sea

But the fact is that the two of them have a bit of sympathy for each other because of these

So the scene looks more friendly now

The competition has officially begun

The lineups of the two sides have also been lined up - Lakers: Odom, Gasol, Kobe, Powell, Fisher and other lineups are also found because of Bynum's injury

However, this lineup has also won the Lakers recently with a four-game winning streak, and they are still confident to face any strong team in the league...,

And the lineup of the Hornets is: Zhong Yu, Paul, Peja, West, Chandler

Now that their main players are here, this lineup is also a matter of course

Kill the L.E. angeles

Let the Angelenos go back to their hometown, all sorts of shouts fill people's eardrums, and the audience lacks a good opinion of the Lakers, who just want the Hornets to beat them quickly

The jump ball started, and the basketball was photographed in the hands of Lakers point guard Fisher, and the old fish took control of the ball and handed the ball to Kobe Bryant when he got to the frontcourt

Gasol walked over and stood near the free-throw line, where he could try to block Kobe Bryant or draw him a defender

At that time, Kobe Bryant can also pass back to him and let him shoot

The Zen master's triangular tactics found a more suitable hair from Kobe and Gasol

Kobe Bryant planned to break through Zhong Yu, he leaned against Zhong Yu with his back, and then planned to turn around directly, push Zhong Yu away with his body, and then directly accelerate or jump shot

This is also Kobe's trick

It's just that he expected it wrong, he originally thought that Zhong Yu's body strength was the same as before, so he didn't care too much...... Who knew that when he really hit Zhong Yu's body, he found that this kid's strength had improved a lot

Kobe Bryant was a little flustered for a while, and the ball was almost stealed by Zhong Yu

After adjusting his mind, Kobe Bryant quickly changed direction and broke through from Zhong Yu's left, but Zhong Yu firmly followed Kobe with speed and strength

So the two of them got entangled near the free throw line, and Kobe Bryant saw that the time had dragged on for a long time, so he got up with his legs off the ground and leaned back

He was able to shoot when it seemed impossible, and although Kobe would always sneer and say that Kobe Bryant still had a technique to force his shot, Kobe's jump shot was indeed a crosshair

The basketball gets into the hoop

Kobe Bryant's technical style is very similar to Zhong Yu's, and his jump shot is also very beautiful, and this turnaround jumper also made many people secretly applaud

After a lot of tempering, Kobe's technology has indeed matured (to be continued, if you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation)
