Chapter 321

The Hornets, which was last season's Bobcats, finally officially changed their name to the previous Hornets!By the way, it also brought back the history of the Hornets that the current Pelicans don't want.

In other words, the Pelicans entered the league completely as a new team, while the Bobcats became history.

After adding the history of the beginning of the century to the current Hornets, their team history and resume finally look a little better. At any rate, they are a strong team that once had a chance to reach the conference finals.

In the offseason that just passed, Hornets boss Jordan dug the Pacers' Lance Stephenson over with a two-year 1800 million contract, completely sending the Pacers into the bottom of the abyss.

However, Stephenson, who was dug out, was not as useful as expected. Although the data of 8 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists per game is worthy of the 900 million annual salary, it is far from the expected future star. Boss Joe is Looking forward to Stephenson becoming an All-Star or even a superstar. After all, Stephenson averaged 14+7.5+4.9 per game last season. He is omnipotent in offense, organization, and defense. He looks like a short and poor version of James.

No one would have thought that Stephenson, who was in the last year of his rookie contract last season, was the pinnacle of his career. After that, he got worse and worse, and in the end he couldn't even hit the ball.

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

Liu Ren, who was "zero blocked" by the Suns in the last game, attacked like crazy today, constantly attacking the Hornets basket. Last season's three-team center, Al Jefferson, was a short center with a strong offense and a weak defense. Liu Ren has nothing to do. If he goes up to make physical contact, he will be fouled. If he doesn't go up, he can only watch Liu Ren dunk.

At the same time, the Lakers overtook the Warriors with 6 wins and 1 loss and reached the top of the Western Conference!
This is the end of the Lakers' easy schedule at the beginning. Strong and popular teams like the Lakers and Cavaliers have relatively few games at the beginning of the season. The league has arranged for them an easy schedule. After adjusting it, as for the weak team, it's unlucky, it's all about delivering food.

After beating the Hornets, the Lakers get two days off, and then there will be a wave of brutal five-game streak in the Southwest Division!
The Southwest Division has been terrible this year, and all five teams are now ranked in the top eight in the West!
The Lakers reached the Western Conference finals last season, and people still think that there is an element of luck in it. After all, the Clippers collapsed directly and did not bring them much hindrance.

So this trip to the Southwest Division has become a touchstone for testing the Lakers. The game is still two days away, and it has already been hyped up. Even the official Twitter-Twitter is building momentum for the Lakers' trip to the Southwest Division.

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

……

"Ajiali, I really admire you. The houses here are so expensive! Are you stupid?" Abby looked at Ajiali with the eyes of an idiot.

Abby's feet were just right, so Ajiali abducted her to Los Angeles.

Abby never thought that Ajiali asked her to come to Beverly Hills to buy a house together!
"It doesn't matter, my daddy let me buy whatever I want, anyway, he pays, come and see, you can see the boss's villa with a telescope! Isn't it great!" Ajiali said proudly.

"God, you're out of your mind! You bought a house just to spy on that bastard? Have you forgotten how much he's done to us? I'm about to lose my job right now. And didn't you say? He's There are still several girlfriends, and several children." Abby felt that her head was hurting.

"Isn't this just right? Boss is so fraternal, so it wouldn't be a problem if there were two more of us. Didn't we agree that we will marry the same person in the future?" Ajiali raised Abby's chin with her hand as she spoke.

Abby directly slapped Ajiali's hand: "That was just a kid's joke! You still remember it now!"

"Hee hee," Ajiali laughed, and something suddenly sounded, she 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 forward it to you. He wants you to join Sports Illustrated and be responsible for interviewing the Los Angeles Lakers, how about that? Since the job there is about to be lost, why don’t you come to Los Angeles!”

"If you want to go, you can go! I won't go!" Abby gave Ajiali a white look, but after thinking about it, she still put the interview invitation in her bag.

……

There is no doubt that the Grizzlies are not a team in the ranks of championship contenders, but whether it is the regular season or the playoffs, other teams are unwilling to meet the Grizzlies.

It's too hard to chew on this hard bone!
Since the 2010-2011 season, under the leadership of coach Lionel Hollins, they have become the crap sticks in the Western Conference playoffs. All energy is exhausted.

In the 11 playoffs, the Spurs were directly handed over to the Black Eight. In the 12 playoffs, the Thunder were half-dead in the Western Conference Finals. The Thunder were slaughtered by the Heat in the finals. The round was poor, and once again missed the floor of the Western Conference Finals.

Thanks to last season, the Spurs were a super strong team that surpassed all teams in the league, and Hollins left last season. The new coach Dave Joerger weakened the Grizzlies' defensive system. There are more scenes.

Although the Grizzlies advanced to the playoffs in the second half of last season because of their enhanced offense, the Grizzlies, who did not have the iron-blooded defense before, were used by the Spurs as a tool to confuse the attention of other opponents in the playoffs. It's not the team that didn't persuade anyone in the playoffs before.

But to strengthen the offense, there must be benefits for the Grizzlies. Last season, they fell out of the top eight in the Western Conference and ranked tenth. Thanks to the change of coach Joerger, the offense and defense have become relatively balanced. Just back into the playoffs.

In the 35 games Joerger led last season, the Grizzlies had a record of 24 wins and 11 losses, almost as many wins as the first half of the season!

This year, the Grizzlies continued their style of play in the second half of last season, and now they are tied with the Warriors and tied for second place in the Western Conference with a record of 7 wins and 2 losses, which is better than the Rockets and Thunder.

Liu Ren took the initiative to find Carter who was warming up for shooting: "Hey, flying man, can you still jump? I want to try to see which of us dunks better."

"Haha, boss, you are the best dunk player in the league right now, but I can try it in the game." Carter seemed to be complimenting, but the meaning behind the words was obvious.
