Chapter 16: The Battle for Glory

The Hornets came home from Oklahoma and rallied back from 22 points down to win the event. Fastest updates

Such a strong combat power made the alliance shake a lot.

The Thunder are not underdogs, they are only three wins behind the Hornets and definitely belong to the super team. But this is the kind of team that was overturned by the Hornets who were 22 points behind!

There were no stumbles, and the 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 powerful Thunder can't stop it, and the sadness of other teams can be imagined.

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

If nothing happens, the Hornets will definitely reach the heights of the ancient Lakers and get the league's longest winning streak of 33 consecutive wins!

Can the Hornets make two rookie teams stop themselves from creating miracles? The answer is no!

On the second day of March, the Hornets beat the Pistons to the ground at home, clocking out at the end of the third quarter and turning the final quarter into downright garbage time.

After a two-day break, the Hornets had another great run at the Smoothie King Center, slashing the league's vice-squad leader to catch the record of the ancient Lakers.

A rookie led a group of rookies to create a winning streak that has not been touched in the league for 40 years. For a time, the situation in the American basketball world changed abruptly, and the ancient Lakers players, basketball celebrities, current superstars, various media, basketball experts, and all kinds of fans turned to the Hornets.

This season can be described as full of unpredictability, first of all, Yang Yi was born out of thin air, leading the Hornets to kill all walks of life; Then it was the first place in the league; As for now, it is even more incredible, the longest winning streak that has existed for more than 40 years has been caught up by the Hornets like this, it is incredible!

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

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

There are many super teams in this century, the Lakers, Spurs, and so on. Unfortunately, they are too far from this record.

The previous second-longest winning streak in the league was set by Peak Yao Mai, but it was only 22 consecutive wins.

Now the Hornets are catching that record, and their next opponent is the Lakers, even if the Lakers are not the other Lakers.

This season's Lakers roster can be called luxurious, with two regular season MVP winners and two All-Star-caliber supergiants. Ever since F4 was formed, there have been huge expectations for them.

Although F4 is no longer young, there is no doubt that they are still the focus of the world's attention, and their every move is still under the watchful eye of the fans.

However, although the F4 is luxurious, their run-in period is a bit long. During this period, the Lakers fired Mike Brown in just five games, then Bernie Bixduff served as the head coach for five games on an interim basis, and then Mike D'Antoni took over the Lakers.

The Lakers have always been Kobe Bryant's world, that's a well-known thing. After D'Antoni took over, the Lakers' record has not changed significantly. With 61 regular season games played, the Lakers are only seventh in the West with a 35-26 record, just one win more than the eighth-place Rockets.

It's fair to say that the Lakers' performance disappointed the fans. What they want to see is the invincible army of Big Shark and Peter Pan at the beginning, not the half-dead Lakers now.

However, this is not the most desperate, the most desperate thing is that the Lakers are almost unable to save even the last glory. In one day's time, the Lakers will travel to New Orleans to defend their longest winning streak in more than 40 years.

But how much fighting the Lakers can play against the Hornets is debatable! And in the face of the invincible youth army, the difficulty of defense is increased to the top.

In particular, the Hornets recently defeated the Thunder, another team with the second-best record in the Youth League, by a huge margin of 22 points, and there are really few fans who are optimistic about the Lakers winning the defense.

The Lakers have played the Hornets twice this season, once home and once away. But there's no doubt that the Lakers were double-killed, beaten twice by the young Hornets. This time it is an away challenge to the Hornets, no, maybe it should be an away challenge to the Hornets, and the recuperated Hornets face the tired Lakers, and their spirit is much better than that of the Lakers.

But the good news is that the Lakers have won three in a row, and they have also accumulated a trace of momentum, otherwise it may be really bad luck to go to New Orleans!

It's four a.m. in Los Angeles, and there's not a single sound from Staples Arena. But Kobe Bryant was lying on the bed, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep.

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

"It's nothing, I see it's almost dawn, I'm not sleepy, you continue to sleep, I'll get up and exercise first." As soon as he finished speaking, Kobe Bryant rolled over and walked out of the bedroom.

Seeing her husband's huge body walk out of the bedroom, Vanessa couldn't help but frown. She is well aware of the pressure her husband is facing at the moment, not to mention the Hornets' brilliant record, in terms of defending the Lakers' longest winning streak, he is not really sure, he just wants to do his best.

But people are not alone in this society, Vanessa knows that her husband's idea is just to defeat the Hornets with Yang Yi and prove that he is still the peak Kobe. It's just that people don't think so, in their opinion, Kobe Bryant is the current banner of the Lakers and the soul of the Lakers. Now that the glory of the Lakers has been hit by the Hornets, Kobe Bryant should lead the team to keep the Hornets out of the stadium and protect the Lakers' long-lasting achievements for more than 40 years.

This kind of voice is noisy, the Lakers are at the center of public opinion, and Kobe Bryant naturally can't stand alone. Although he also wants to defeat the Hornets, with the current combat power of the Lakers, it is not easy to defeat the Hornets, who have won consecutive battles!

Let's hope the Lakers can beat the Hornets smoothly! Vanessa thought to herself.

Outside the house, a glimmer of dawn had risen through the night sky, and the sky was gradually clearing!
