In the next few days, Lu Yusheng followed Meng Xia everywhere to sign contracts and attend business activities. Lu Yusheng had to train at night, which made him exhausted both physically and mentally.

The next game is against the New Orleans Hornets. The team arrived in New Orleans one day early to start training.

The New Orleans Hornets have been in good shape since the start of the season, achieving a good record of 7 wins and 2 losses, ranking second in the Western Conference.

The Lakers are currently ranked first in the Western Conference.

Because of the win, if the Hornets win this game, they will push the Lakers down and become first in the Western Conference.

So this game is actually a battle for first place in the Western Conference.

For Lu Yusheng, besides this, there is a more important meaning.

That is, Chris Paul.

Although Lu Yusheng has played against many powerful point guards in the league along the way, in his heart, the strongest point guard in the past few years is definitely the queen bee Chris Paul.

If you can go back and forth when playing against him, it means that your strength is indeed good, and there is indeed hope for the championship this season.

Moreover, under normal circumstances, the defensive ability and strength of the No. 1 position are average, but Chris Paul is different. Although this guy is not tall, his defensive ability is off the charts. Since he entered the league, he has basically been

He is a frequent member of the All-Defensive Team. You must know that he is only 183cm tall, as tall as Iverson, but he can sit firmly in the All-Defensive Team at the No. 1 position. His defensive ability is evident.

Zen master Phil Jackson saw this very clearly, "Although overall, the Spurs' overall strength is better than the Hornets, we are not easy to win in this game. Lu, the main reason is because of you, Chris Paul

His defensive ability may be the strongest of any point guard you have ever encountered, and you will be tested like never before, so you must be mentally prepared."

Lu Yusheng nodded.

Zen Master knows very well that when Kobe is still absent in this game, Lu Yusheng's performance determines the upper limit of the Lakers. In this game, his opponent Chris Paul has strong defensive ability and will be greatly affected.

The above limits Lu Yusheng’s performance.

Once Lu Yusheng is unable to perform, it will be impossible for the Lakers to play a smooth rhythm.

At 7 p.m. Charlotte time on December 3, the game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the New Orleans Hornets officially begins.

During the appearance ceremony, Chris Paul enjoyed the warm cheers and applause of the home fans.

He is the new king here, and New Orleans people have high hopes for him.

Especially this season, he has led the team so well that it has rekindled the New Orleans people's desire for the championship.

What Lu Yusheng didn't expect was that when he was introduced, the New Orleans home court actually gave out a lot of cheers. It seemed like what Meng Xia said, he was indeed very popular now.

New Orleans Hornets starting lineup: Chris Paul (point guard), Peja Stojakovic (shooting guard), Desmond Mason (small forward), David West (

Power forward), Tyson Chandler (center).

This lineup, just by looking at the lineup on paper, you can tell how strong their defensive capabilities are.

The starting lineup of the Los Angeles Lakers remains unchanged, with Smash Parker (point guard), Vujacic (shooting guard), Luke Walton (small forward), Odom (power forward), and Kwame Brown (center).
