The next opponent is the New Orleans Hornets, which will be played at New Orleans' home court tomorrow night.

The Hornets currently rank second in the Western Conference, just two games behind the Lakers.

The New Orleans Hornets are a team with extremely poor ancestors. In their previous life, they had the best record in team history with 56 wins and 26 losses this season.

In addition to the growth of Chris Paul, they also acquired Peja Stojakovic, one of the top sharpshooters in the NBA, at the end of last season.

Peja, born in 1977, is 31 years old this year. Although he is in the late stage of his career, he has experienced a second spring this season.

Started 77 games.

His average field goal percentage reached 44%, and his three-point shooting percentage was an astonishing 44.1%. He averaged 6.8 shots per game and made 3.0 of them, setting a new career high in three-point shooting percentage.

Of course, although Peja's three-point shooting percentage in the last season of his career (10-11) reached an astonishing 66.7%, he only played in two games, and the sample size was too small to have any reference value.

The current Peja can be seen as a "peak Klay Thompson" with weakened running and jumping abilities.

...

...

The matchup between the Lakers and the Hornets is seen by many as a preview of the Western Conference Finals.

In addition, the personal grudge between Zhou Ze and Chris Paul is also one of the highlights for fans.

Lakers locker room.

"Really?" Rajon Rondo looked at Phil Jackson in surprise, his excitement beyond words.

"That's right, Rajon, you will be our starting point guard tonight." The Zen Master nodded with a smile.

As for Paul, Rajon Rondo played against him last season and there were some unpleasantness between the two.

But what really makes Rajon Rondo unhappy is that those fake fans always call him "Rajon Paul".

As the team's regular starting point guard, Old Fish didn't have any objections.

Paul, who is not injured, has the best ball sense and ability to connect with the ball among the current NBA players, and he has excellent explosive power.

If Lao Yu really faced him, he would easily be defeated in one step.

...

...

In the Hornets locker room.

"CP3, why are you so nervous tonight?" Peja, a white shooter from Europe, asked curiously.

In Peja's eyes, Paul, who is only a third-year student, has a strong sense of the overall situation and a big heart. In addition to his height, he is a leader in the same position in terms of physical fitness and mental perseverance.

The look in his eyes tonight revealed "absent-mindedness", "confusion", and a hint of "fear", which he had never seen before.

A helpless expression flashed across Paul's face, and then he said with forced confidence: "Man, you must have seen it wrong. How could I be nervous?"

"Peja, you don't understand. We haven't won a single game against Los Angeles in the past two seasons." David West, the team's starting number 2, couldn't help but sigh.

"CP3, be more confident. We are no longer the same as we were before. You know, last week you beat Zhou Ze and won the Western Conference Player of the Week." said the team's starting center Tyson Chandler.

Well...

Chris Paul laughed.

上周，也就是本赛季常规赛的第十周（2007年12月30-2008年1月4日）。

新奥尔良黄蜂，3胜0负，自己周场均拿到21分14助攻3篮板2抢断，成为了西部的周最佳球员。

This team performance and data are already the standard for an All-Star point guard.

However, a big reason why he was able to win the Western Conference Player of the Week was the aesthetic fatigue of the American media and the fact that Zhou Ze did not sign Hook.

过去一周，湖人2胜0负，周泽场均拿到38分21篮板5助攻4盖帽3抢断，这他么的差点就是场均5x5。

After winning the Western Conference Player of the Week award, Paul was often ridiculed by media outside of New Orleans.

After all, Zhou Ze's data and experience level can be said to completely crush Paul.

It feels a bit like I'm not worthy of my position.

For this reason, Paul felt that this Player of the Week award was not an honor but a humiliation for him.

Soon after, Hornets coach Byron Scott walked into the locker room and reiterated the tactical arrangements for tonight.

"rebound."

"I don't want to see him grab 20-plus rebounds over our heads tonight."

"David, Tyson, and Morris, if Zhou Ze is with you, do your best to entangle him and don't let him get an easy jump. If you feel you really can't grab the ball, pass it to him. In any case, don't let him get endless rebounds under the basket."

...

...

In Byron Scott's view, protecting the rebounds creates the foundation for winning.

After the game started, Zhou Ze saw that the main defender against him was Tyson Chandler.

Tyson Chandler, nicknamed "Boxing Champion", is 216cm tall and weighs 109kg. He is a top defender in the middle and is known for his help in protecting the inside line. But you can still hit him at will.

Zhou Ze waved his hand and signaled his teammates to move away.
