The hesitant fixture schedule, the potential for injuries and the players' own form make it difficult for every team to experience a difficult season. Even the all-powerful Chicago Bulls, their 72 wins were built with blood and sweat.

In such a difficult regular season, it's good for a team to have a consistent record. And if you want to win on a winning streak, it's even harder.

There are a lot of things that need to be met to win in a streak, but will your team be able to maintain their excellent form over several games? Will your team be injury-free? Or is it not affected even if there is an injury? Will your opponent have a sudden convulsion? Will your manager be suspended for yelling at the referee?

Problems like this often only need to arise, there is no weak team in BA, as long as you are not in good shape, even if you are the defending champion, you may be picked off by the fish belly team.

So, that seemingly simple streak is much more complicated to achieve than it seems on the surface.

Three wins in a row, that proves that this team is in excellent form. Five wins in a row, well, the team's standings have definitely started to skyrocket. Eight wins in a row? Obediently, did you take stimulants? Ten wins in a row! Well, then this team is definitely not easy to mess with!

And now, since defeating the Bobcats on January 12, the Indiana Pacers' winning streak has reached 12 in a winning streak!

"Charlotte Bobcats are defeated again! Since Henson. The Bobcats' embarrassing record of never winning against the Pacers since Joe coached the Pacers continues! ”

"12 wins in a row! The Indiana Pacers became the only team this season to win more than 10 in a row twice in a single season! ”

"34 wins and 3 losses! Will we witness the birth of another super team!? ”

When the Pacers crushed the Heat to make it 10 straight wins, people didn't react much. However, after the Heat, the Pacers took out the Knicks and Bobcats in succession. 12 consecutive wins, but no one dares to ignore it anymore.

Henson has actually led the team to a ten-game winning streak every season since becoming head coach.

At the end of the 10-11 season, the Pacers rushed to third place in the East with a wave of 10 consecutive wins.

In the 11-12 season, the Pacers started with a wave of 11 consecutive wins, laying a solid foundation for the last-minute comeback over the Bulls.

Needless to say, this season has opened with 13 consecutive wins, breaking the best start record in team history. I thought this was the longest winning streak the Pacers could achieve this season. But who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, the Pacers would come to the threshold of a 12-game winning streak.

There is more and more talk about the Pacers, and some even think that they may leave their name on the list of the longest winning streak in the NBA!

Of course, New York journalists don't see it that way. Because the next opponent of the Pacers is the Brooklyn Nets. If the Pacers are going to continue to win, it means they're going to cross over the Nets! New York journalists, naturally, will not agree.

※※※

The Brooklyn Nets, like their team's main color, can be described as a dark horse in the East this season.

Last season in New Jersey, the Nets were only fourth from bottom in the East. But this season he relocated to Brooklyn and signed Joe. After Johnson, the Nets are now 21-15 and fourth in the East! Of course, this time it's positive!

After the early part of the season, "Little General" Avery . After Johnson's struggles in coaching, P.J. Callesimo, born on the Spurs' coaching staff, managed to put the Nets on the right track. And fourth in the East, which undoubtedly gave New York reporters inflated capital.

"There is a habit in the team coached by Coach Henson, and that is the lack of stamina. His team's winning streak has never exceeded 15 in a row, and his team simply doesn't have what it takes to make history. What's more, this time they're still fighting back-to-back, and we've had a good two days of rest. So, don't expect the Brooklyn Nets to be willing to be the backdrop for the Pacers. This is where the defending champions' winning streak comes to an end, and we will use this win to take our winning streak to six! One more point, Delong. Williams specifically wins Chris. Paul's team! ”

The man who said this was the famous New York basketball journalist Mark Brown. Bergman, one of the New York Post's most well-known basketball reporters, has been covering the Knicks for almost all of the past 12 years. And after the Nets moved back to Brooklyn this year, Berman also took over the Nets news.

From this sentence, it can be seen that Berman's reporting style is mainly based on "licking".

Speaking of Mark. Berman, I have to say another famous New York basketball journalist Frank. Isola it. These two men are simply two strange flowers in the New York media industry.

Isola is a typical New York media personality who likes to call a spade. Completely different from many team reporters, now he has a poor relationship with the Knicks' public relations, he never acts as a team mouthpiece, is an old-school sports reporter, and he does not hesitate to sneer at the Knicks' internal and external chaos for more than a decade. Of course, the Nets are no exception.

However, Berman, a reporter who likes to "lick", has a very close relationship with the team, so many of his reports will be used by fans as the team's public relations manuscripts. Bergman's writing is boring and worthless, and for many years, Isola has habitually teased and lashed out at Bergman on Twitter, and Bergman, like his official report, never reveals his personal attitude and almost never rejects.

is such a reporter who loves to "lick" the New York team, and this time blows the Nets again. With him taking the lead, all kinds of media people in New York have created a scene on the Internet that "the Nets will win" and "Paul will be beaten by Delon".

Such a large-scale outpouring naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of local reporters in Indianapolis. As a result, the game between the two teams has not yet started, but the reporters from the two places have already cursed.

This is New York, this is the media capital of the world! Everything will be infinitely magnified in this place in New York!

However, just when the reporters in the two places were scolding, on the Pacers team bus, Pacers coach Henson. Joe, however, didn't seem to care about the war and his 12-game winning streak.

"How are the players in fitness?" On the team bus, Henson asked the team doctor for a report on the players' bodies.

Henson has been very concerned about the health of his players in recent days, and although there are badge bonuses, it is better to be prepared in the event of a massive injury attack across the league.

'It's all very good, don't worry, Henson, the players won't have injury problems due to fatigue. By the way, did you read Twitter? ”

"Twitter?"

"On Twitter, the Indianapolis media and the New York media seem to be fighting World War III." The team doctor handed his phone to Henson, who saw Mark at a glance. Bergman's report.

Of course, I also remembered the guy's big, round head. His Twitter profile picture is his own photo.

"Mark. Berman? Henson looked at the reporter's name.

"He started it, he's a reporter for the New York Post."

"Joker!" Henson shook his head contemptuously as the team bus stopped.

Looking up, Henson saw the Barclays Center, which was no less than Madison Square Garden, and they had arrived!

"I know that 24 hours ago, we were still facing off against the Bobcats at the Bankers' Living Arena. But that's okay, let's go, go to this beautiful arena and bring home a 13th game winning streak! ”

With a wave of his hand, Henson's bus opened the door, surrounded by a blackened crowd of reporters.

As always, Henson was the last to step off the team bus. In the midst of the bustling crowd, there was one journalist who was particularly active. He held the microphone high and squeezed to the front, seemingly eager to interview Henson.

Henson smiled at the guy because he recognized it.

This guy who is as fat as a sweet potato is Mark. Berman himself.
