Chapter 122 As long as I want to, I can still play well as a point guard!Down
After a small victory over the Magic in the away game, the Hornets took advantage of this winning streak and continued to move forward.In the third consecutive away game, against the Bulls.

The Hornets continue to play their triumphant song!
Among the Hornets in this game, whether it is Jack or the Hornets coach Byron Scott who has been blamed the most during the Hornets' losing streak, they have all been well proved in this game .

In the game against the Chicago Bulls, Jack played 32 minutes, scored 18 points and grabbed 8 rebounds.However, as the main point guard in the team.Jack sent out his career-high 14 assists in the audience.

In the battle with Chicago, the Hornets have firmly grasped the initiative in their own hands since the start of the game.

Chandler takes the lead for the Hornets in a scrimmage, Jack and Chandler in the air.Chandler leaped high from the ground like pulling a green onion on dry land, held the ball in the air, and gave the audience a powerful one-handed dunk at the beginning of the game.

There was a loud bang, and the basket was shaking left and right.

The Bulls failed to score, and Chandler was merciless in front of his home team, jumping up from the ground and grabbing the ball in the air.Jack made a bowling pass, and the basketball was delivered directly to Butler, who had already reached the basket.

After Butler took the ball, he bent his knees, kicked off the ground, flew straight up from the ground, jumped high, and made a one-handed dunk with a flat basket.

"Boom" loud noise!
The Hornets relied on Jack's pass to disrupt all the Bulls' pre-game deployment.

The Bulls played very chaotically, with a "bang", the basketball was smashed heavily on the basket.Chandler flew off the ground and grabbed the rebound.

This time the Bulls returned to defense in a timely manner, and the Hornets had no chance of a fast break.After being hit three fast breaks in a row in the opening game, will this team still win?
Jack dribbles over because of Jack's height and speed advantage.This time the Bulls lined up to defend Jack was Lou Erden.

Lu Erdeng was very aggressive when defending Jack. Lu Erdeng kept hitting Jack with his chest. Lu Erdeng wanted to use this method to interfere with Jack's attack.

At the same time, he was still chattering in his mouth: "Rookie, those paparazzi say you are very powerful, but I don't believe it. In my opinion? You are just a little taller than me, you have nothing at all? "

Hearing what Lu Erden said, Jack laughed.Jack replied unceremoniously: "It's fine to be a little taller than you. Even if I'm a few centimeters shorter than you, I can still blow you up. It's not my fault to have a physical advantage, but, then It is your disgrace."

"You..." Lu Erdeng gritted his teeth and said to Jack.Lu Erdeng was angry, and Lu Erdeng pressed forward quickly, defending him oppressively.

Lu Erdeng acted rashly like this, which was actually a big taboo of defense.At the same time, he also underestimated Jack's ability to break through the dribble.

The moment he stretched out Lu Erden's right hand and stuck out his center of gravity, Jack spun around Lu Erden's short and sturdy body like a top, leaving him behind.

Lu Erdeng was also momentarily stunned, and couldn't help being shocked: This guy!
After throwing Lu Erdeng away, Jack did not move forward quickly because of this, but stopped and waited for Lu Erdeng to recover.

When Lu Erdeng chased after him and continued to press hard to try to steal it forcibly, Jack suddenly crotched his crotch over and instantly dropped Lu Erdeng. This time he didn't wait for Lu Erdeng any longer, just Like an unsheathed sword, it pierced the Bulls' penalty area.

Swish!With a bang, the basketball hit the net, and Jack's mid-range jumper made a sudden stop and hit the basketball steadily.

Seeing Jack, a big man with 211, make such smooth movements, the audience couldn't help but let out a burst of exclamation.Is this guy really a power forward?
When Jack, who was returning to defense, passed Lu Erdeng's side, Jack still didn't forget to smile contemptuously: "Hey! Old bird, although I am a power forward, you still want to break my ball very early. What? Seriously, I could have gotten past you in more than twenty ways just now."

Jack not only gave Lu Erdeng a severe blow on the offensive end, but also spared no effort on the defensive end.

As the top scorer of the Bulls, Lu Erdeng was already very upset when he was hit by Jack just now.This time Lu Erdeng dribbled the ball at halftime, wanting to single out Jack.The Bulls are also very savvy to open up enough space for Jack to play singles.

Although Jack would despise Luer Deng verbally, but in action, Jack would not have any thoughts of belittling his opponent.

Jack rushed forward and clung to Lu Erden like a candy.Lu Erdeng and the others had no chance of breaking through. Facing the harassment of Jack's slender ape arms, Lu Erdeng's mentality also began to become flustered.He quickly passed the basketball in his hand.

Butler shot out from the middle, and with a "bang", he directly broke the ball.

Jack realized that this was an opportunity for a fast break, turned around, stuck Lou Erdeng behind him, and quickly slammed to the basket empty-handed. Butler directly passed the basketball in his hand.

Jack flew up from the ground like a rocket ascending to the sky, a black shadow leaped high, and there was a loud bang, and the basket was shaking left and right.

Jack directly directs an earth-shattering performance from the very beginning.Jack delivered wave after wave of orgasms.

The Bulls hurriedly asked for a timeout, but, helplessly, the momentum of the Hornets could not be suppressed by a timeout at all.

When the Hornets kept raising the score to 20 points, the Bulls scored 2 points by relying on free throws.

At the end of the first quarter, the Hornets led the Bulls by 32 to 12 points.Since then, the Hornets have not given the Bulls any chance.

At the end of the second quarter, the Hornets extended their lead to 30 points.The score between the two sides came to 22 to 52 points.After halftime, the Bulls can basically surrender.

After halftime, almost half of the Bulls' audience had left.Compared with the Bulls of the Jordan era, the current Chicago Bulls are really far behind.It's really uncomfortable for Bulls fans to pay to see their team being abused.

In the first half of the third quarter, just halfway through the game, the Bulls were playing with substitutes.

Therefore, Jack spent most of the rest of the game talking and laughing with Chandler on the bench.They are already discussing how this three-day holiday should be spent.

They have not reconciled for more than half a month, and they are looking forward to this holiday.Moreover, the team began to return to the track of normal operation.How could they not take a look at such a rare opportunity?

"Beep..." The long-awaited whistle sounded.

Lu Erdeng, who was defending Jack, returned to the locker room with a pale face.Can he not be angry?Lu Erdeng's match today can only be described in one miserable word.During the period when Jack was on the court, Lou Erden got 7 touches.However, he failed to make a single hit on Jack's head, but made up to 6 turnovers.Can Lu Erden not be angry at being guarded by Jack like this?
As soon as the whistle sounded for the game, Jack fled immediately, but Jack still failed to slip away in the end. Before he fled, Jack was stopped by a reporter from NBATV and accepted a brief interview.

"Jack, first of all, I would like to congratulate you for winning the final victory of the game!" A white man came forward to announce the news to Jack as soon as the game was over.

"Thank you!" For some of these interviews Jack, even, was very annoying.However, due to professional ethics, Jack answered very patiently.

"Because of Chris Paul's absence, as a power forward, you have to be put on the extra position of starting point guard. Do you have any discomfort with Byron Scott's scheduling? "

"It would be a lie to say that I didn't get used to it, but in the end I overcame myself and got used to it." Jack smiled.

"Before you, in your previous games, have you ever played the position of point guard?"

"No, no, no...it's my first time playing this position, but it feels good."

The middle-aged uncle who asked the question opened his mouth wide and looked shocked. It was obvious that Jack's words had frightened him.

"What is the reason that made you adapt?"

"No big reason, I just wanted to challenge myself. Simple as that."

"I also want to know how you persuade Byron to let you play this position?"

Jack scratched the back of his head, Jack lowered his head, brought his mouth closer to the microphone, and said, "I think it's my confidence that impressed him!"

"You are such a good player who is never satisfied. Congratulations on your three-game winning streak, and I wish you a smooth journey to the NBA." The white uncle reporter ended the short interview with a very polite scene.

"Thank you." Jack smiled and ran back to the locker room.

As soon as he entered the door of the locker room, Jack felt a yellow waterfall hitting his forehead. Just as he was about to dodge, the turbulent water wave hit him.I licked my tongue a little, and it actually tasted like Gatorade.

Wiping the drink next to his eyes, he looked up and saw Butler was holding an empty drink bucket and looking at him with a smirk on his face.And several other players in the locker room laughed even more.

"Hey, hey, hey... Guys, isn't it a special holiday today? You can't beat people up like this! Don't you know it's a waste of time?" Jack replied angrily.

"Come on! Jack, do you think they can still sell these drinks? Didn't they end up in the sewer as their destination?" Russell Butler asked back with an expression of "justice is on my side".

As soon as Jack said this, the teammates in the locker room all looked at Jack.

Jack was watched by such a large group of men who looked like hungry wolves, even though Jack had a super thick skin.However, Jack still felt very unnatural.

"What do you want to do? I want to tell you that I have never been gay. Even if I did, it wouldn't be you?" Jack covered some key parts of his body with his hands, I was afraid that I would accidentally be violated by this large group of hungry wolves in front of me.

"But..." Seeing that Jack misunderstood Jack's meaning.The Hornets teammates booed Jack collectively.

"Jack, you're shameless. Tell me, who's messing with you?" the players said in unison.

"Besides, even if it's a fuck, your asshole is so small, it's not enough for me to see?" Chandler finished speaking, licked his tongue, and looked at Jack's ass with a lewd expression.

Jack felt the chrysanthemum tense involuntarily, and the sweat on Jack's forehead kept coming out.These guys.After the loud commotion, "Jack, don't you really know what day it is today?" Butler looked at Jack suspiciously and asked.

Jack racked his brains to think about it. Jack really had no idea what day it was today.Say it's April Fool's Day?It's still too early.Say it's Christmas? He's long gone, too.Say it's my birthday?Jack never expected the pack of hungry wolves to remember his birthday.What's more, today is indeed not my birthday!

"I don't know!" Jack shook his head, expressing that he really didn't know.

"Really?" Butler emphasized again.

"real!"

"Look!" Butler took out a copy from his hand, the statistics sheet, and handed it to Jack.

"Why do you give me the statistical table?" Jack was puzzled by this, and if you said what holiday is today, wouldn't it be all right?What are you doing with this kind of aircraft?

"Look!"

Hearing this, Jack carefully read it several times, but he still couldn't see any signs of it.

"I saw it, isn't it just 18 points, 9 rebounds and 14 assists..." Jack hasn't finished speaking yet?
Butler quickly interrupted Jack's words, "Okay, stop here."

"14 assists!"

"Yes, that's right, 14 assists."

"So what? Isn't it just 14 assists?"

"No, no, Jack, you are wrong. 14 assists is not as simple as it seems on the surface. 14 assists! That is the dream data of a core defender? Don't you think it is very important? Don't you think Should we have a good celebration? Don’t you think so?” Butler said this at the end.

Who told Jack to be so popular in the locker room?
"Yes..." The players in the locker room, led by Chandler, responded together.

All of a sudden, Jack understood that these guys wanted to kill him hard when he got 14 assists.

Jack had no choice but to fall into this trap, so Jack had no choice but to bite the bullet.At the same time, Jack is not a stingy person. Could it be that everyone is so happy to win today.

"Okay, give me all your bills for tonight!" Jack said.

"Yeah..." The group of hungry wolves in the locker room yelled in unison.

For a while, the locker room of the Hornets became very lively.

Seeing such a pleasant atmosphere in the locker room, Jack knew that the meal he invited was very worthwhile.

………………

In a blink of an eye, the Hornets' three-day holiday will be over soon. The Hornets' first game after the holiday is at home against the Kings.

Early in the morning, two sports cars were driving side by side on the streets of New Orleans. People saw one of the tall SUVs waving their hands together. That car was Jack's car.

Jack had no time to pay attention to these people, his car was following a black Porsche in front, and kept up like lightning.And it was Jack's teammate Butler who drove the Porsche.

After returning to New Orleans, Butler did not go back for the past two days. Butler spent these two days with Jack.Butler euphemistically said: Learn from Jack.

Today is the Hornets' first training session after a three-day holiday.They are preparing to face the Kings tonight.

The Kings joined the NBA as early as 1948. Unlike other new teams, this team immediately showed strong combat effectiveness after joining the NBA, and achieved some impressive records in the early days.However, because of frequent relocation, this team has the title of "the king who is always traveling".

In the first few years of joining the NBA, the team formerly known as the Rochester Royals was a strong team in the NBA and won the NBA championship in 1951.But since then, they have never tasted the championship again.In 1957, the team moved to Cincinnati and changed its name to the Cincinnati Royals.Then the team was lucky to select Oscar-Robertson, who was later known throughout the United States as the 'Big O'. The arrival of the Big O gave the Royals new hope.However, the Royals have never been able to break through the insurmountable barrier of the Boston Celtics.During this period, the powerful Celtics dominated the NBA with 13 championships in 11 seasons. In 1972, the team moved to the West and changed its name to the Kansas City-Omaha Kings. In 1975 the team again changed its name to the Kansas City Kings.

In 1981, the Kings broke into the Western Conference Finals. Although they lost to the Houston Rockets 1:4, this was the best result in the history of the Kings at that time. In 1985, the Kings moved to the current California capital, Sacramento, and changed their name to the Sacramento Kings.In the more than ten years from 1982 to 1995, the Kings had a bad record. They only entered the playoffs in 1986 and were swept out in the first round.

In the 1995-1996 season, the Kings, which formed the main lineup with a group of young players, finally entered the NBA playoffs again. Although they were eliminated in the first round, their style of play has gradually improved.
