Except for the broken stop sign light on the road, everything went smoothly on the move, and about fifteen minutes after the Audi arrived, the Highway Authority arrived and got their permission, and Chamberlain and the others drove away.

In order to avoid being mistaken by the movers for themselves, Chamberlain did not show up after the arrival of the Highway Authority, and it was Sudmons who got out of the car to negotiate with them. Chamberlain made the right decision, and the maintenance man sent by the Authority, an avid basketball fan, was Sudmons, who was chased by him for a stack of autographs.

The new home is located on the far left of the Cliff House Villa area, and the famous Cliff House restaurant is on the far right of the villa area, which is a prime location, even during the noon or evening rush hour, no matter how many customers come to the restaurant, it will not affect the villa, and to go to the Cliff House for dinner, it is only a fifteen minute walk.

The scenery is beautiful, and the clean road is flanked by tall palm trees, whose trunks remain straight as the sea breeze blows, while the branches and leaves flutter slightly, rubbing against each other and making a brushing sound like a whisper. There is a trail leading to Golden Gate Beach, so you can go for a morning exercise or an after-dinner walk and enjoy the sunset over the long river.

The villa originally belonged to Leevan-Hernandez, an NFL superstar who was much more famous when he played for the San Francisco Giants than any other star on the Warriors today. Chamberlain was also a fan of his, but with his retirement, he returned to a small town in his hometown of Florida, where he retreated, and this villa was useless to him, he wouldn't come here once in a few years, and wanted to enjoy the beach? Miami has more beautiful views, milder sunshine, and hotter beauties.

Originally, Li Fan didn't plan to rent this villa, but Winnie came forward, and everything was different. She called her father Gottlieb, who contacted Li Fan's agent, and then logically, the villa was temporarily leased to Chamberlain, but if someone buys it, Li Fan still chooses to sell the villa first.

Chamberlain had dreamed of owning a villa here, but now that his dream had finally come true, he was determined to pay for it despite the high rent, and promised Li Fan that he would buy it as long as he waited until his annual salary was paid next season.

In fact, this villa is not expensive, but it is only about 1.2 million US dollars, the housing price in San Francisco is low, and the old Gmail has a very wide face, and when Chamberlain promised to buy this house within a year, Li Fan told him with a smile on the phone that he could reduce the price of this house by 200,000 US dollars, as long as 1 million, but when the time came, Chamberlain would attach him a signed group photo.

Winnie has a fiery temper and is extremely efficient, and after Chamberlain fell in love with the house at a glance, she made a reservation directly. The next day, Chamberlain flew on his plane to New Orleans to take on the Hornets, who had been stinging around the league lately.

The New Orleans Hornets, who just changed their name this season, were called the Oklahoma City Hornets for a while, and in 2005 the horrific Hurricane Katrina landed in the city, and then the Hornets' arena was destroyed and they had to move to Oklahoma City to take refuge.

That period of time was the most difficult day for this team, they had to send people under the fence, and the team boss Chris Paul was injured, this is like the Shu army in the Three Kingdoms era was driven out of Shu by Cao Cao's Great Wei army, and the lord Liu Bei was hit by a stray arrow and was still in a coma, the Hornets in the first two seasons felt like this, a lost dog!

But all this is a thing of the past, this season's Hornets have just returned to New Orleans, all the way to the top, setting off a bloody storm in the league, which can be regarded as a good vent for the grievances endured in the past two seasons.

In fact, the Hornets would have risen last season if it weren't for Paul's injury, and the team, which has a team that has become the league's No. 1 point guard, excellent defensive powerman Tyson Chandler and three-point sharpshooter Peja, has been highly anticipated by fans at the start of the season, and the ESPN expert group even predicted that they will likely reach the Western Conference Finals.

Paul's iron triangle with Chandler and Peja is indeed easy to have chemistry, and this combination has been proven many times in NBA history: a super point guard, a tough defensive power forward, a cold-blooded shooter, they are paired together, and the damage is huge!

Especially now the Hornets not only have these three golden combinations, they also have a big player who can attack and defend well, West, and bench bandits like Bobby Jackson on the bench, these combinations are seven wins and three losses in the opening game, and the record is only behind the Warriors who lost two games.

Tickets to the Hornets' home stadium were sold out two days before the game, and the Hornets' average attendance in the past ten home games was 11,276, ranking last in the league. This is a disastrous result, with Brown Scott averaging a decent 14,221 attendance per game, even though he had the worst 18-64 record in franchise history when he coached the Hornets in his first year.

This game is very eye-catching, the fast pace of the Warriors and the smooth offense of the Hornets, what kind of sparks will be sent when they collide, fans across the league are looking forward to it.

At half past seven in the evening, the game began, and the Hornets' starting lineup was center Chandler, power forward West, small forward Peja, playmaking guard Paul, and scoring guard Morris Peterson. The Warriors' starting lineup is the same as always, with Chamberlain + Harrington + Jackson + Azubuke + Ellis.

As soon as the opening Warriors gave the Hornets a dismount, Chamberlain jumped the ball to win Chandler, Ellis broke through the ball and threw it to the hoop, Chamberlain followed in the middle, and a violent dunk came down Chandler's nose.

The Hornets' offense was fast-paced, but the Warriors weren't slow at all, especially with the arrival of Louis Williams, Azubuike felt the pressure and did a good job of playing the guard position, pressing Paul in the opening game.

Nelson's arrangement worked wonders, and gentleman fans like Peja were most troubled by a scoundrel like Jackson. Under the care of the latter's close defense and various small actions, Peja was cut off twice in a row, and the Warriors broke fast again and again, opening with a small climax of 6:0.

But then the Warriors also had problems, the team was eager to win, Azubuuk defended Paul and suffered a defensive foul when he made a steal, when Paul was very clever to make a throw, although the ball bounced out, but got two free throws, and two free throws.

The Hornets had just started the game, and Chamberlain, who was determined to win the game, immediately responded with a dunk under the basket, which made Chandler, who was known for his defense, lose face, and Chamberlain beat him miserably with his nimble feet and strong power.

At the beginning of 8:2, the Hornets immediately paused, and after the pause, Paul made a change of direction past Azubuk, who retreated, and Paul stepped back to make a cold-blooded three-pointer, and then stole Jackson's pass, hit a three-pointer again, and stepped forward twice in a row to score 6 points in a row, and equalized the score at once.

Not to be outdone, Ellis returned two more shots, and after Harrington made a layup, Paul and West chased four more points, so it was the Warriors' turn to take a timeout. The team played too chaotic, and the elder Nelson was very dissatisfied, and after the timeout, Jackson came out of his power and beat Peja twice in a row, and in the last two and a half minutes of the quarter, the Warriors rushed forward and played a small 12-6 climax.

Coming back in the second quarter, Luis appeared on the court for the first time wearing a Warriors jersey, but he was too anxious to show himself, and Paul saw through his mood and took advantage of it, first making a layup to trick Luis into playing a 2+1, and then when Luis broke through, he faked a fall to the ground and cheated an offensive foul.

Seeing the new brother being played, Chamberlain was furious, and when he turned around, he whispered to Luis twice, first the two of them made a cover at the three-point line, and then Chamberlain went directly into the inside, Louis passed, Chamberlain got the ball, and dunked towards the hoop, and West, who was standing in the restricted area, couldn't dodge it and ate one of his riding dunks.

Ellis followed with two points, and Luis provided two assists in a row to finally look a little better in this matchup. Next, Jackson hit a three-pointer in the bottom corner to help the Warriors complete this 11-4 attack, and the Hornets felt cold and the timeout did not help.

In this case, the role of the superstar is shown, Paul attacked by himself, and after breaking through the layup and scoring two points, he forced the inside to make fouls, regardless of the fighting spirit he had just recovered from the injury, and the fighting spirit he showed made Chamberlain couldn't help but be in awe: This is a boss, compared with the immature Paul, Gasol is too inferior!

There are three kinds of bosses in NBA teams, when the team is behind, the first boss says 'give me up', Gasol is one of the representatives, the second boss says 'follow me', the Cavaliers core James is a typical representative, and the third boss is 'let me go', Kobe Bryant is the most commendable, Paul is doing well now, and there is another person who is also doing well, that is, the current boss of the Trail Blazers, Brand-Roy.

Relying on Paul's god-level performance, the Hornets finally bit the score, and the Warriors only led by eight points at 62-54 at the end of the first half. Paul blew up the Warriors' perimeter in the entire third quarter, scoring 18 points on his own, telling him what a super point guard is in front of Chamberlain's eyes.

Unfortunately, the Hornets finally woke up at the start of the second half, with Jackson off the court and Barnes coming off the bench. Although they are all rogue defenders, Barnes lacks a point of toughness and domineering compared to Jackson, Peja hit two consecutive three-pointers from the outside, and Chandler scored a series of dunks in the restricted area, and the 8-0 small climax in the opening minute and a half caught the Warriors off guard.

Nelson Sr. shook his head helplessly, Chamberlain was in a hurry on the bench, he was replaced, and the substitute was Evans, who came to the Warriors with Luis. Evans is tough enough defensively, but his skills are not good, his consciousness is poor, and if Chandler's two dunks just now were in front of Chamberlain, he would definitely not be able to distinguish between southeast and northwest.

As a result, the Hornets became more and more courageous, and after Paul assisted Peja to score, he staged a rare dunk, played very tough, broke into the interior in a row, won two foul free throws, and then assisted West to dunk with both hands. Bobby Jackson also showed the role of a veteran, rushing into the box for back-to-back layups to help his team take a narrow lead of 88-86 at the end of the third quarter.

But everyone knows that the real decisive battle of Lu Dao was in the fourth quarter, and Chamberlain reappeared!

As soon as he got on the court, Chandler, who was addicted to dunking, rushed to the basket again, but as soon as he got the ball and jumped, Chamberlain split his head and gave him a big hat. Petrus and Ellis double-rushed to the basket, and the former used his body to force Paul and played a 2+1. Paul, who fought for three quarters, was so tired that Chamberlain almost scrapped their interior line, and because of his presence, Paul didn't dare to go inside to the basket at will, so his strongest scoring method was also scrapped.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Warriors launched another 6-2 attack wave, Peja received an assist from Bobby Jackson and just shot two shots back, and Ellis hit another three-pointer here, and the game had only 8 minutes left, and the Hornets went from leading by two points in the third quarter to trailing by six points.

Paul was not willing to sit still, assisted Stojakovic for a three-pointer, and came back to steal Azubuk's pass and sprinted into the box for a quick break. Jackson immediately launched a counterattack, rushed into the basket and made a one-handed dunk, the Hornets attacked, Paul hit the basket again, and Chamberlain came out from the side without giving face and pinned the ball to the rebound.

This block made the exhausted Paul lose his strength in his heart, especially after Chamberlain drew the basket and assisted Jackson to complete another three-point shot. The Hornets' backwardness became more and more obvious, Scott was helpless, and Paul's physical strength had dried up, so he had to replace him.

There is no gap between the Hornets without Paul and the Warriors without Chamberlain, they only had problems defensively before, and now the offense is finished, and the last four minutes completely collapsed, and the Warriors took away a victory with a score of 109-93.
