And that's not the end.

The Pelicans are winning and winning, but under the guidance of Stevens, they are not arrogant or impatient.

In late November, they dropped the Bucks, Wizards, Grizzlies, Timberwolves and Pacers.

By Thanksgiving, they had an incredible 15-0 record!

15 consecutive wins, no defeat!

Such a performance is incredible!

Super defense is the foundation of the winning streak, and Tang Tian's almost unsolvable performance is insurance, coupled with a new tactical system.

The Pelicans are playing last year, or even better than last year.

But they're not the only ones.

Because of the Rockets' run-in and adaptation to D'Antoni's magic ball play, the Big Three struggled a little;

The Cavaliers' still sparse defense has allowed their record to fluctuate;

Spurs are riding high, but they have lost 2 games so far;

The Mavericks performed a lot worse than expected, and Delon proved to be embarrassed.

Another team that has also tasted defeat so far and is on a winning streak with a game in hand is the Warriors!

The defending champions started the game with 14 consecutive wins, also setting a new record for the best in team history.

This is the first time in NBA history that two teams with 14+ consecutive wins have started at the same time.

And that's in the case of a crazy military race in the western summer!

Now, the focus of attention is on which of the two teams can extend their winning streak longer.

It is worth mentioning that the two teams will meet for the first time of the season in early December.

At that time, even if the two teams are still winning in a row, one of them will definitely be terminated.

The day before Thanksgiving, the Pelicans boarded a plane to Boston, where they will play the Celtics on Thanksgiving.

The Celtics lost Stevens in the summer, and they then signed former decorated player and former Rockets head coach McHale.

With the excellent individual defensive ability of Bradley, Crowder, Smart and others, McHale has built a good defensive system for this team.

The tradition of the Green Army is iron and blood, and this is also a kind of inheritance of theirs.

So far, they have a record of 9 wins and 7 losses, ranking fifth in the East, which is very good.

The Pelicans are sure to extend their winning streak in this game, and for the Celtics, this is also a game they will have to fight for.

Not only because ending such a winning streak would be a huge morale boost, but also because it was Stevens' first return to Boston.

At the beginning, Angie wanted to keep Stevens, but she also stood on the moral high ground, saying that the team was trying their best to keep Stevens, and it was Stevens who ran away in order to take a shortcut, which made Stevens's image in Boston plummet.

Now that the Pelicans are on a roll, Angie definitely wants the team to pull the Pelicans down.

Defeat a "traitor", this is a point that is very worthy of publicity.

The day before Thanksgiving, the Celtics had an open practice.

The team's general manager, Danny Angie, was also on the training site.

Because of Stevens, this game has attracted a lot of attention from the outside world.

Many reporters from major media came to the training site.

The players were training, and Angie became the subject of reporters' interviews.

"Do you think the team has any hope of winning tonight?"

A reporter from ESPN asked a very regular question.

"Why not?"

As soon as Angie spoke, she looked confident.

'They're a good team defensively, and so are we, and we're not very good offensively, and they're the same, so we have equal chances.'

Angie continued.

He's not a data maniac like Morey, but he knows some simple data.

The Pelicans have played the league's No. 1 defense during their 15-game winning streak, conceding just 88.5 points per game, which is a pretty scary statistic under the new rules.

But they are also averaging just 96.8 points per game, which is a statistic that can only be in the middle of the league rankings.

This is related to what Stevens expected before the season, because the offense needs games to run in, and it will definitely not be done overnight.

But the reality is this reality, and what Angie said is not wrong.

"This is Stevens' first time back in Boston, and the day of the game is Thanksgiving, is there anything you'd like to say to him?"

Naturally, the reporter asked Stevens about it.

"Thanksgiving, it's funny, and he should be thankful to Boston for giving him the opportunity to coach in the NBA."

Angie doesn't say much, but it's very intriguing.

Thanksgiving is the second most important holiday in the United States after Christmas, and the legal time is Thursday of the fourth week in November.

On this day, Americans will be grateful to the person they feel need to be thankful for, some are grateful to their parents, and some are grateful to God......

You can be grateful to whoever you want, but Angie said that Stevens should be grateful to the Celtics, and the meaning of this is really intriguing.

On the day of the game, the Pelicans also had a practice session that was open to the public.

Stevens spoke to reporters on the sidelines.

The reporter told Stevens about the answer he got yesterday.

These reporters don't do things and have no topics, they think about things every day.

Still, Stevens was humble and generous.

'Yes, I have to thank the city and the fans who helped my team a lot.

Stevens didn't thank the Celtics, but thanked him in a different way.

However, the media does not pay attention to these details.

In the pre-game news report, Angie said Stevens should be grateful to the Celtics for the opportunity, and Stevens admitted that the headlines kept popping up.

Before the game, the players were making the final preparations before the game, and Bojan was filled with righteous indignation with a mouthful of news.

Not only him, but the rest of the Pelicans were also a little unhappy.

Stevens is not an unknown person, and he is an absolute college coach who has brought the underdog Butler University to the NCAA finals for two consecutive years.

This kind of coach is very popular in the NBA, such as the new coaches of the Bulls and Thunder this year, Hojberg and Donovan are NCAA coaches.

Including the most well-known old coach K, he is chased by many NBA teams every year, but he has no intention of the NBA.

In other words, Stevens made it to the NCAA Finals two years in a row, and it was good to come to the NBA market.

It was he who ended up choosing the Celtics, or at least a two-way option with the Celtics.

As a result, when it came to Angie's mouth, it turned out that the Celtics gave Stevens a chance!

This is really called Xiao Tiantian when I begged others, and now I am called Mrs. Niu when I am separated?!

Anji's move to cross the river and tear down the bridge, standing on the moral high ground as before, is really infuriating.

"For the sake of coaches, we should give Bostonians a memorable Thanksgiving."

Tang Tian stood up and said in a very calm but murderous tone.
