Chapter 265 Two-game losing streak after eleven consecutive victories
Chapter 265
Two consecutive losses after eleven consecutive victories
aThe regular season continues. Please remember.
As the hottest team in the league and the most popular team, the Hornets have already stood at the peak of the entire league.
In this case, the Hornets began two away tours.
However, these two away trips were not that smooth for the Hornets.
First, the Hornets challenged the Pacers away in Indiana.
In this era, the Pacers are indeed a very strange team - they often perform shockingly against some weak teams that seem to be easier to defeat, and in the end they lose the game inexplicably. And when they face some strong teams, they don’t know why... In short, they often win in the end.
Such a team has indeed been awarded the title of "weird team" by many fans.
Indeed, this team really makes people feel a little weird.
It is because they specialize in defeating the strong team! Many weak teams have found their confidence in them, while many strong teams have failed in the Pacers and have gained several embarrassing failures.
As a result, this team is becoming more and more evil.
This season, the Celtics and Lakers have all failed here, and now, it is the Hornets who have lost the game.
I don't know if the Hornets should be sad or happy for this game...
Sadness means that they ended their winning streak here, and the Pacers ended their winning streak. The sound of horse hooves of 12 winning streaks came to an abrupt end before they could really take it.
Happy, first of all, the Pacers, a team that specializes in strong teams, has made the Hornets lose their grip on them, which proves that the Hornets have entered the ranks of real strong teams... Although there are some idealistic factors in it, everyone can still think of these things, thinking that the Hornets have proved with another unconventional means that they are now a strong team that cannot be underestimated...
Of course, this statement is more or less a bit like the Hornets fans' own jokes and self-deception. Then, the other one is indeed more reasonable.
That is, the Hornets really put down their burden after losing the game against the Pacers. Before this game, the Hornets had won eleven games and defeated their opponents in each game.
This has brought them more reputation and has also made many Hornets players become more and more famous based on such victory... The entire Hornets and the entire Hornets players benefit from their winning streaks, which has never been experienced before.
However, this puts them in great pressure, as if losing a slight irrelevant game is also a huge sin. Hornet fans with this mentality naturally cannot show their true level. When playing real games, they often face some restricted situations.
Now, the Hornets finally lost a game, and maybe the word "final" shouldn't be used... But indeed, the defeat in this game finally allowed the Hornets to take off the shackles on their bodies and no longer be at the forefront as before.
Perhaps this will reduce the exposure of Hornets and Hornets players, and will cause many players to be beaten back to their original form and return to the point where their father did not love their mother or their mother.
However, for them, what is more important is that now they can put aside a lot of pressure from their previous winning streaks, and can really play without any shackles and work hard for the team to win later.
In this way, the Hornets lost a game, which is indeed a good thing in some ways.
After losing this game, the Hornets players felt a little relieved.
Zhong Yu patted Paul on the shoulder and said, "We have tried our best in this game... It's a pity that I still didn't win."
"I tried my best...but our team didn't perform very well..." Paul said.
Indeed, the Hornets' shooting percentage was not high in this game, and the players didn't feel very good. The Pacers' defense became stronger and stronger, and in the end, many Hornets' players performed poorly.
After the game, Zhong Yu scored 27 points, and Paul only scored 11 points and 6 assists. The misperforming performance of the two was also an important reason for the Hornets' loss.
"Although we lost the game..." Scott said with a heavy face: "To be honest, although in some ways, losing a game is not necessarily a bad thing, but it may help us win later. However, after losing the game, we may also face more doubts and pressure."
Everyone nodded thoughtfully. They stood on the storm for too long and suddenly fell down. Naturally, someone would still say strange things.
That night, many news reports also got angry about the Hornets' game.
"After a long winning streak, the Hornets finally lost the game for the first time after creating a record that made it difficult for the Hornets' juniors to speak... However, so far, they are still ranked first in the league and the Western Conference with a record of 11 wins and 1 losses. No one will think that the Hornets have left the ranks of strong teams because of losing a game... On the contrary, after throwing away the burden of winning streak, the Hornets can go on light and charge without any reservations for victory. Such Hornets may be even more terrifying."
…………
Most media maintain this view.
Because of the Hornets' failure, they lost confidence in the team. They believed that the Hornets had left the ranks of strong teams and finally revealed their nature, after all, were a minority.
Most people still have enough rationality.
Many people believe that the Hornets have thrown away the shackles of their winning streaks, and then they can truly go into battle lightly and create more brilliant achievements.
Such reports have occupied the mainstream of public opinion under the influence of the league. It is conceivable that the league now has a low level of protection for Zhong Yu and even the Hornets, especially for Zhong Yu.
Zhong Yu scored 27 points in the game lost to the Pacers. In fact, compared with his previous performance, he still performed more or less abnormally.
However, under the deliberate guidance of the alliance, almost no one took action from Zhong Yu.
The Hornets are coming to the next away game, challenging the Bobcats of Joe's gang leader away.
In this game, the Hornets did not pay attention to the lack of one game because they lost a game. Instead, they paid attention to the game because many people wanted to witness the Hornets' victory.
There are many people paying attention to this game. In fact, the bad teams like the Bobcats are actually the main thing that really attracts attention is to play against strong teams such as the Hornets. Only when they are highly concerned teams can they gain a certain exposure.
As a result, something surprising happened...
The Hornets capsized in the gutter during the game against the Bobcats!
Although Zhong Yu suddenly broke out at the last moment of the game and scored 7 points in 30 seconds, the Hornets were unable to win back the defeat in the end...
Losing to a bad team like the Bobcats suddenly made the Hornets' reputation sink to the lowest point since the beginning of the game.
In this game, the Hornets lost the game, and they can only be described as capsizing in the gutter. In the beginning of this game, the Hornets faced the same situation as the Pacers' game - the hit rate was not high and the mistakes occurred frequently... In this way, the Bobcats seized an opportunity and began to lead the Hornets.
Then, the Bobcats started playing a good-wind ball. The Hornets were forced to have no choice but to play quickly. However, as soon as they played quickly, the general poor touch of the Hornets players was exposed today. By the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Hornets had already lagged behind the Bobcats many points.
In the last quarter, the Bobcats seized the opportunity, scored frequently, and made jump shots outside the three-point line.
With the last 30 seconds left in the game, the Hornets were still 11 points behind their opponents. Zhong Yu scored 7 points in a row and finally scored some points. However, the Hornets eventually lost the game...
108:104, the Hornets lost this game unwillingly.
Zhong Yu scored 35 points and 5 rebounds in the whole game, but the team still lost helplessly... I have to say that this is something that makes people feel quite depressed.
If many people think that the Hornets should also lose a game after the last game, so there is no objection to their loss, then in this game, the Hornets' loss suddenly faces a different situation... Now, the Hornets are pushed back to the forefront again.
However, such a storm is different from when they won eleven consecutive games. Now theirs has sunk to the bottom... The Hornets lost two consecutive games, and after the eleven consecutive games, they lost two consecutive games, which made many Hornets' blacks jump out.
Because of losing the game against the Bobcats, the Hornets' record has dropped to the point where they share the record with the Lakers and Cavaliers' first in the league. In the Western Conference, the Hornets and Lakers' record are currently 11 wins and 2 losses, ranking first in the Western Conference.
In this way, the Hornets' two consecutive losses caused their situation to change drastically.
Moreover, a lot of criticism sounded—
"At the beginning of this season, the Hornets had a strong 11-game winning streak, which made many people exclaim that the most powerful Hornets had been born... The Hornets also soared during this period of time, becoming the hottest team in the league. However, after a 11-game winning streak, they lost to the Pacers and the Bobcats. If the Pacers are still a playoff team, then all the bottom teams like the Bobcats made the Hornets lose... We have to ask, is the Hornets' previous 11-game winning streak just an illusion they created by themselves? In fact, the Hornets' strength has not improved much?"
After the Hornets lost two consecutive games, their morale has indeed fallen to a low point. Moreover, many people who doubt them have found the organization and started many similar questions.
"From the beginning, the sudden rise of the Hornets had a bit of exaggeration... They seemed to have become the top team in the league after they got Zhong Yu. But in essence, the Hornets still lack the foundation that strong teams should have. When they face some situations, they are not mature enough. Two consecutive losses are likely to be the beginning of the Hornets' collapse... To be honest, I think we cannot give up too much hope for such a team..."
Of course, there are many people
Those who helped the Hornets speak believed that victory or defeat was common in military affairs. Even the Bulls at their heyday would not dare to say that they could defeat any team in the league at any time, let alone the Hornets?
However, such sounds are usually drowned in the sea by more doubtful sounds. In the information age, many things are spreading too quickly...
So, the Hornets are now standing at the intersection again.
They had no way out... In the next game, they finally returned to their home court and faced the Kings.
If the game is not yet won, the Hornets' reputation may fall further.
The Hornets are now in a more subtle place.
—————
After losing to Charlotte, everyone sat on the plane because they just lost to the Bobcats. The atmosphere in the plane was not very harmonious. Everyone was busy with their own affairs, and they rarely saw smiling faces.
"Have a meeting!" Scott thought for a while and shouted loudly: "Come here."
The players also came over, but most of them were a little listless.
"Look at what you look like... It's really." Scott said a little disappointed: "As a n
A Player, you don’t just have yourself in your own right now, you should also consider the team behind you and the fans behind the team.”
These are clichés, not many people obeyed, Scott said: "Also, you may be able to feel the difference between our eleven consecutive victories and the two damn humiliating defeats now. We were originally the proudest team in the league, but what are we now being slandered? They think we are just a bunch of guys who are pretty... Many people think that the Hornets are finished... but I don't believe it..."
The players began to take it seriously.
Indeed, after this humiliating two-game losing streak, the Hornets walked to the edge of a cliff. If they could not win, it is very likely that the things they obtained from the previous eleven consecutive victories may be wiped out.
When it comes to these, everyone is also concerned about them.
As a n
A players, perhaps substitutes, have to run around for their livelihoods and contracts, but no matter who they are, deep down, there are some things called honors that are burning.
"This game! Guys!" Scott patted his thigh and said, "We can't lose! We are no longer qualified to lose! We need a victory! A hearty victory."
