The regular season has started all over the United States, and the Kings are no exception, but their first match is the Western Conference strong team New Orleans Hornets, with Queen Bee Chris Paul.

In the 2007-08 season, Zhang Weifeng was very impressed. The Hornets were the peak season in team history that year, but they actually faced it in the first game, which was really a bit stressful.

People say that strong teams are difficult to play, so how difficult is strong teams to play away?

The Kings' first game was No. 1, and they challenged the Hornets away. Almost all sports lottery companies predicted that the Hornets beat the Kings, and the handicap score reached a hateful 20 points.

The Kings' schedule in November was not satisfactory, with 3 back-to-back games in 15 games, which is a test for this new team. The new season started with a three-game away, which doubled the pressure on head coach Reggie Seyus. He asked the team to win at least one game. After all, a good start will maintain the morale of the team and let fans see hope.

On the plane to New Orleans, everyone was extremely excited in the first game, and Reggie Seius also looked excited.

Siyus looked at the eyes that looked like beasts behind him, and he knew that these guys were going to play a very good game. The players' condition was also a great relief for the head coach.

"This is a difficult bone to chew. If you are not careful, you will be stung by it." The person who spoke was Raymond Felton, who had just joined the team. This guy gave people a feeling that he was easy to get along with.

"It is said that this year's strength list forecast is that the Hornets are actually fourth in the league, which is really a bit of pressure." Kenny Thomas interrupted.

He is the Kings' second-tier substitute and has very little playing time, which also reflects his strength to a certain extent.

"Chris Paul is only in the third grade. I really can't imagine how far he will grow. His flexibility and control of the court are so good." Benno Yuduri, the organizational guard signed by Pitri before the start of the game, naturally he had a fight with Paul.

"Oh? I don't think so. The battle between Chris and me is still not over. Now I am eager to play a game with him so that he knows that I, Raymond, is not losing to him." The Bobcats' main point guard said indignantly with a proud look on his face.

After being silent, head coach Reggie Seius put his finger beside his mouth and signaled these excited guys to calm down.

Zhang Weifeng sat by the window, wrapped in thick clothes. He was now half asleep and half awake, and naturally heard clearly what several people were talking about.

Raymond Felton joined the Kings, a No. 1 player with strong physical and strong defensive ability. For this Kings, he and Paul are also considered old opponents. Both of them, plus Deron are No. 1 rookies who were selected by several picks in 2005.

For Felton, the Kings paid Kevin Martin as an offensive killer. Fortunately, the Kings got two three-point shooters, Steve Novak and Matt Carroll, which is very good. At least Randy Ferye and John Somons can make up for Kevin Martin's vacancy to a certain extent.

An accurate three-point shooter is an indispensable part of every team that wants to go further. Celtics' Ray Allen, Spurs' Gino Billy, etc. are the best examples. The Kings' ability to get Steve Novak who was unable to play really made Zhang Weifeng sigh at Pitri.

As for, the defense is extremely poor?

That's not a problem, he is just for attacking.

Speaking of Raymond Felton, Zhang Weifeng admitted that he was excellent. This is a player with talent buried. Looking at his entire NBA career, he can be regarded as an excellent No. 1 player. But he thinks there is indeed a gap with Chris Paul, let alone in this season at the best state of Queen Bee.

Under the night, the small city is still lit with colorful neon lights. Through the window, the New Orleans Arena is clearly visible. Zhang Weifeng gradually lost his sleepiness and was full of courage. As the plane landed, a leisurely sound also came out.

"NBA, I, Zhang Weifeng, are back."

Yes, Zhang Weifeng is back, what kind of shock will he bring? Another "rookie" season for him!

When we arrived in New Orleans in the evening, the Kings arrived at the hotel to repair and wait for tomorrow's game.

The Hornets joined the NBA in 1987. Its original home court was Charlotte, which was called the Charlotte Hornets. In 2002, they moved to New Orleans, but their competitiveness in the league has always been not very strong. Since 2005, Queen Bee Paul was born, and with the assistance of Peja Stockvic and Tyson Chandler, the Hornets have begun to become a strong team in the West. The growth of inside David West is the Hornets' lineup this year. There are many good players on the bench, so the Hornets have become one of the best teams in the league.

In the locker room in New Orleans, Zhang Weifeng opened the wardrobe and a brand new sea blue jersey appeared in front of him, with a big No. 35 printed on it, which was the away jersey prepared by the Kings. It was also the first time Zhang Weifeng has come into contact with his official new jersey. The jerseys in the preseason are made in a hurry, and the quality and materials are not as good as the official jerseys in the regular season.

Zhang Weifeng smiled gently. He performed very well in the preseason, and he probably started the next day.

Listening to his teammates talking about the Hornets' home aura today, he laughed in silence. What's this? Is it just more than 10,000 people? The overwhelming fans in the finals are trembling.

The team wants to go further, and these guys really need to work harder. The first thing they need to learn is to enjoy everything on the court and be calm.

Although the Kings are mostly young, they still have a group of old players. Their task is to lead the young players forward. After experiencing strong winds and waves, these old players were not particularly nervous about a regular season game. Several people gathered in the crowd and were chatting with smiles on their faces. Slowly, the atmosphere in the locker room became relaxed.

Since seeing Zhang Weifeng's violent side, the "wild beast" Ron Artest also seemed to have found a confidant and would chat with Zhang Weifeng every day.

This game is Zhang Weifeng's first career show, and Arte will inevitably care. When she walked to Zhang Weifeng, Arte grinned: "Zhang Weifeng, you have to work harder today. Your opponent is not an easy master to deal with! But I still like you."

"Are you talking about Tyson Chandler? Or David West?" Zhang Weifeng replied easily, he was very confident.

At this time, Sharif also came over and interrupted, "Don't underestimate the opponent. Tyson Chandler has a very good defensive ability. We don't want you to be invisible in the first game! David West is a very good offensive player. You have to deal with it flexibly with two attacks and one defense."

"Oh? I like challenges. I shouldn't be afraid of any opponents, right?" Zhang Weifeng picked on every day, staring at Artest beside him.

"I will defeat all the opponents, and I will work hard for it." Zhang Weifeng continued, but this time he was targeted by teammates in the entire locker room.

"Don't worry, you can play! As long as you have the chance, I will pass the ball to you." Randy Fery was the first to interface, and he chose to support Zhang Weifeng.

"You should be more active. Don't wait for me to pass the ball and you can't find anyone you can see! Although I like assists, I don't like mistakes." Raymond Felton laughed humorously.

Zhang Weifeng also smiled and responded loudly: "Then I will give you ten assists tonight, so you must be mentally prepared."
