Chapter 235 Defense of Glory

~

The Hornets came back from Oklahoma City with a full load, and after trailing by 22 points, they rallied to win the final victory.

Such a strong combat power shocked the alliance a lot.

The Thunder are not weak chickens, they are only three games behind the Hornets, definitely a super team.But such a team was overturned by the Hornets who were 22 points behind!
Without any stumbling blocks, Thunder was out of breath at the beginning of the second half, especially Yang Yi's four three-pointers, which directly stopped the game.

On the road of the Hornets' winning streak, even the mighty Thunder couldn't stop them, so the desolation of other teams can be imagined.

The Hornets' next opponents are currently the fourth-to-last and last-to-last in the East, the Pistons and the Magic, the rookies among the rookies, are really vulnerable.

If there is no accident, the Hornets will definitely reach the height of the ancient Lakers and get the longest winning streak in the league-33 consecutive victories!

Can the imposing Hornets allow two rookie teams to stop them from creating miracles?the answer is negative!
On the second day of March, the Hornets beat the Pistons to nothing at home, clocked out at the end of the three quarters, and turned the last quarter into a complete garbage time.

After a two-day break, the Hornets achieved another success at the Smoothie King Center, beheading the league's deputy squad leader and catching up with the ancient Lakers' record.

A rookie led a group of rookies to create a winning streak that has never been touched in the league for 40 years.For a time, the situation in the American basketball world changed suddenly. The ancient Lakers players, basketball legends, active superstars, various media, basketball experts, and all kinds of fans all talked about the Hornets.

This season can be described as full of unpredictability. First, Yang Yi turned out to lead the Hornets to kill all walks of life; then he won the first place in the league record; The longest winning streak of more than 40 years was overtaken by the Hornets in this way, it is unbelievable!

As we all know, the team with the longest winning streak in a single season in the history of the NBA is the Los Angeles Lakers in the 71-72 season. The Lakers, with superstars such as Chamberlain and West, were invincible in that season, winning 33 consecutive victories!But since the Lakers won 71 consecutive victories in the 72-33 season of the last century, no team has been able to catch up with this record, let alone break it.

Even the Bulls at their peak failed to tie this record, and other teams can imagine.

There are many super teams in this century, such as the Lakers, Spurs and so on.It's a pity that they fell too far short of this record.

The previous record of the second longest winning streak in the league was created by Peak Yao Mai, but it was only 22 consecutive victories.

Now the Hornets have caught up with this record, and the next opponent is the Lakers, even if this Lakers is not the Lakers.

This season's Lakers lineup is luxurious, with two regular season MVP winners and two All-Star super giants.From the moment f4 was formed, people had huge expectations of them.

Although f4 is not young anymore, there is no doubt that they are still the focus of the world's attention, and their every move is still followed by fans.

However, although f4 is luxurious, their running-in period is a bit long.During this period, the Lakers fired Mike Brown in just 5 games, then Bernie Bickerstaff temporarily served as the head coach for 5 games, and then Mike D'Antoni took over the Lakers.

The Lakers have always been Kobe's world, which is well known.After D'Antoni took over, the Lakers' record has not changed significantly.The current regular season has played 61 games, and the Lakers only rank seventh in the Western Conference with a record of 35 wins and 26 losses, only one more win than the No.8 Rockets.

It can be said that the performance of the Lakers disappointed the fans.What they want to see is the invincible division of Sharks and Peter Pan, not the half-dead Lakers now.

However, this is not the most desperate thing. The most desperate thing is that the Lakers can hardly keep their final glory.In another day, the Lakers will go to New Orleans to defend their glory and defend their longest winning streak that has lasted for more than 40 years.

But how effective the Lakers can play against the Hornets is debatable!What's more, they are facing the invincible youth army, which increases the difficulty of defending to the extreme.

In particular, the Hornets not long ago defeated another youth team, the Thunder, the second-best team in the league, with a huge difference of 22 points. There are really not many fans who are optimistic about the Lakers' victory in the defense.

The Lakers have played against the Hornets twice this season, once at home and away.But there is no doubt that the Lakers were double-killed and defeated twice by the young Hornets.This time it's an away game against the Hornets again, no, maybe it should be an away game to accept the Hornets' challenge. The Hornets, who have recharged their batteries, face the exhausted Lakers, and their energy is much better than the Lakers.

But the good news is that the Lakers have won three consecutive victories, and they have cultivated a bit of momentum, otherwise going to New Orleans may be really bad luck!

At four o'clock in the morning, the lights in Los Angeles were dim, and there was no sound at the Staples Arena.Instead, Kobe was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

"Honey, are you still thinking about the game against the Hornets the day after tomorrow?" Vanessa naturally heard the voice of Kobe turning over.As Kobe's closest pillow person, she naturally knows her husband's deep feelings.

"It's nothing, I think it's almost dawn, I don't feel sleepy anymore, go on to sleep, I'll get up and exercise first." As soon as the words fell, Kobe turned over and walked out of the bedroom.

Seeing her husband's huge body walking out of the bedroom, Vanessa couldn't help frowning.She is very aware of the pressure her husband is currently facing, not to mention how brilliant the Hornets' record is. As far as defending the longest winning streak of the Lakers is concerned, her husband is not really sure, he just wants to do his best.

But a person in this society is not an individual. Vanessa knows what her husband thinks - she just wants to defeat the Hornets with Yang Yi and prove that she is still the peak Kobe.It's just that people don't think so. In their view, Kobe is the current banner of the Lakers and the soul of the Lakers.Now that the glory of the Lakers has been impacted by the Hornets, Kobe should lead the team to keep the Hornets out and defend the achievements of the Lakers for more than 40 years.

This kind of voice is loud and dusty, and the Lakers are at the center of public opinion, so Kobe can't be alone.Although he also wants to defeat the Hornets, but with the current combat effectiveness of the Lakers, it is not easy to defeat the Hornets who have won consecutive victories!

I hope the Lakers can successfully defeat the Hornets!Vanessa thought to herself.

A ray of dawn piercing the night sky has risen outside the house, and the sky is gradually clearing up!
