Since Harden was stealed by Wang and pinched with Wallace, he has been sitting on the bottom of the court until the difference between the two sides has exceeded 30 points before the Clippers head coach puts him on the court again.

At this time, the main players of the Hornets have already rested, and the substitute players are playing soy sauce.

Harden originally thought that he would definitely be able to score two more points in this group of benches, but something helpless happened, Harden found that his hand suddenly disappeared, and the basket that originally looked like the sea was now unable to shoot it.

Hitting iron, hitting iron, continuing to hit iron, Harden's shooting rate on the court instantly dropped to the minimum, and he didn't even score a layup.

At 128:101, the Hornets finally won the game with a 27-point lead at Staples.

In this game, the highest scorer was Harden of the Clippers, who scored 33 points, but he shot 13 of 41, and the shooting rate was a bit miserable. In addition to Harden, the Clippers have Griffin scoring a double-double, 19 points, 10 rebounds, although Griffin's play is barely qualified, but his shooting rate is also dismal, under the call of Gasol and Oden, Griffin tried his best, and it was only about 30 percent of the shooting rate, after all, the 09-year-old champion's offensive means were too single, and his threat was reduced a lot when he left the basket.

Compared with the Clippers, the Hornets players played very well, although Wang Meng's game did not continue to score as high scores as in previous games, but also cut the standard data of 26+12 assists, and the Hornets players except Wang Meng had 7 double-doubles, and the shooting rate was still very good.

With the win over the Clippers, the Hornets' winning streak turned into a staggering 13-game winning streak.

13 consecutive wins, although this streak is not a particularly amazing streak in the league, but at the beginning of the season, such a result has to be admired by many people.

On the 29th, the Hornets won 14 consecutive wins at home against the Jazz at 102:96, and at this time, the home fans of the Hornets had spontaneously pulled up a banner with the words 14 consecutive wins written on it.

After playing the Jazz, the Hornets finished all their games in November, and the Hornets ranked first in the league with an astonishing all-win record in 14 regular season games this month. With the team's excellent record and average of 26 points and 9 assists per game, Wang Meng took the lead to sit on the best player in the West that month, and the best player in the East is Nash who led the Knicks to play a beautiful run, Nash's average data per game is not much higher than that of the Suns after coming to the Knicks, and the average of 11 points and 14 assists per game is slightly shabby compared to James's average of 27 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists per game The data of the upcoming triple-double is also a little shabby, but Nash's arrival has made the Knicks have been reborn, with his help, Anthony and Stoudemire both found their form and played bravely, with Stoudemire's scoring average rising to 20 points per game, while Anthony scored a league-high 29 points. With that alone, Nash deserves to be the best player of the year.

In the latest issue of the ESPN team power rankings, the Hornets deservedly came to the first place, needless to explain anything, the opening 13 consecutive wins can already say everything, including the Spurs, Thunder, Knicks, who gave the Hornets these teams, which is enough to prove that the Hornets are now tough.

Ranked second, is the introduction of Yao Ming's Spurs, with the regular season, Yao Ming and Duncan, the two league's top insiders have gradually developed a tacit understanding, the effect of these two people on the inside is of course nuclear weapons, with invincible inside, the Spurs have only lost two games in the West, namely two games with the Hornets and the Thunder at the beginning of the season.

The current Spurs are probably afraid of a small-ball storm team like the Thunder and Heat. Both the Thunder and the Heat can rely on the crazy running of the players to exhaust the physical strength of veterans such as Duncan and Yao Ming, as long as the Spurs don't have these two guys on the inside, then the Spurs are not so terrible.

The third ranked is the introduction of Kidd, Ray Allen, and the successful formation of the Big Five's Heat, although the Heat's internal line is still as rubbish as ever, but with the terrifying firepower of the outside line alone, the Heat can sweep everyone away.

To everyone's surprise, the Lakers, who had been running in for a whole season last season, and the Lakers, who had Paul, Kobe, and Howard, the three real Big Three, could only lead the Lakers to the fourth place on the list of powerful factions this season. But Kobe Bryant averaged 24 points per game, Paul averaged 16 points and 10 assists per game, and Howard averaged 20 points and 14 rebounds per game. Maybe they want to store all their energy and explode in the playoffs.

Below the Lakers, the Thunder are fifth, the Knicks are sixth, and the Celtics are seventh.

Of course, the power rankings change very quickly, and it can be a one-day match that can lead to changes in three or four teams. It is not an evaluation of the true strength of a team.

After the November game, the December game started non-stop, and with fans chanting slogans for a 15-game winning streak, the Hornets faced the Thunder again at home on December 2.

The result of the game disappointed many fans. At 125:118, the Hornets lost to the Thunder at home, ending a 14-game winning streak.

In this game, the Hornets players felt pretty good, and Wang Meng beat Westbrook again on the offensive end, scoring 37 points. But the feel of the thunder is even more perverted.

Durant scored 39 points, Westbrook 28 points, Eric Gordon 23 points, and no matter what other players, these three backcourt players alone scored 90 points on the head of the Hornets.

For the defeat of this game, the Hornets players did not seem particularly disappointed, but also breathed a sigh of relief, the pressure of consecutive wins is not small, every Hornets player on the court, is under the pressure of what will happen if the team fails, and this pressure, every time you win a game, it deepens again.

For this, Monty can also see that although the players may not be too tired physically after resting, they are undoubtedly very tired mentally.

Monty also wants to break some of the league's winning streaks to increase his reputation and the team's prestige, even if he can't break the Lakers' 33-game winning streak, and the Rockets' 22-game winning streak is not bad, but this still needs to be considered as a reality. In the game against the Thunder, the Hornets' fatigue was undoubtedly revealed, whether it was Tony Allen or Wallace, although the defensive attitude was still very conscientious, but it was obvious that they could not keep up with the pace of their opponents, which is one of the important reasons why the Thunder were able to cut such a high score.

Now that the winning streak has ended, the Hornets players are finally relieved to get a good night's sleep and go back to the rest of the game in good spirits.

But then, the Hornets lost again, this time to one of the league's weak teams, the Bucks.

The Hornets played at home, but they lost to the Bucks inexplicably, losing two in a row for the first time this season.

Now Monty quit, "Are you guys here?" Didn't you eat one by one? Can you still lose a fight with a buck? I'd love to know what you guys think! Monty angrily lectured the Hornets players, "Double the training volume today!" If you lose again in the next game, you will double it again on the basis of doubling it today! I don't believe it, but I just give you a little space to rest, and you actually relax. ”

Hearing this, including Wang Meng, there was a bitter expression on his face, losing to the Bucks was indeed a momentary negligence, after all, there is no completely invincible team in the NBA, even if it was the invincible Bulls back then, didn't there be 10 losses? The head coach is too harsh, the opponent of the Hornets in the next game is one of the hottest teams in the league now, Wang Meng and Gasol's old club, the Los Angeles Lakers.

Although the Lakers have a mediocre regular season record this season, only ranked third in the West, below the Hornets and Spurs, most people believe that both the Hornets and the Spurs are definitely at a disadvantage when they meet the Lakers, because the gap between the team lineup is too big.

Kobe, Howard, Paul, any of these three people can be ranked in the top three in their respective positions, specifically, two of these three people are the strongest in their respective positions, and the remaining one is also the second in the active league.

Chris Paul, the only one who is ranked second among point guards, is under Wang Meng, and Kobe Bryant is still a well-deserved first point guard, not to mention Howard, now the league's center is almost all supported by him, although Yao Ming returned to the NBA, but after all, he is plagued by age and injury, and his strength is far less than his peak.

The team composed of the three of them can almost be said to be the strongest Big Three in the league, although it lost to the Heat last season due to lack of tacit cooperation, but still no one dares to question its strength.

The Hornets want to beat the Lakers, and that's not something you can just say.

The game between the Lakers and the Hornets is also the collision between Wang Meng, the league's first point guard and Paul's second point guard, which is naturally highly valued by the league.

"I said O'Neal, why do I feel like you're a little fatter again?" Buckley sat diagonally in his chair, looked at the huge O'Neill occupying a large part of the table, and said angrily: "Aren't you afraid of sudden death due to high cholesterol?" Don't make a fuss, can you go home and lose weight? ”

"It's okay, it's okay!" O'Neill half-squinted his eyes and said comfortably: "I have consulted a doctor a long time ago, obesity is indeed easy to get sick, but according to my height, my figure is not very fat, and I don't need to lose weight specifically for this." ”

Barkley rolled his eyes helplessly, at this moment he desperately wanted to repeat the scene when he hugged this dead fat man, but unfortunately Barkley, who has been retired for many years, has long since lost the monster-like strength of the year. Now I guess not to mention O'Neal, even Howard on the court is difficult to hold.

"Don't make a fuss! Watch the game! Smith is different from Buckley O'Neal, although he is also funny at times, but most of the time, he plays a regular basketball commentator, "This game is a competition for the top three in the West, it will definitely be very fierce, if the Lakers win this game, they will surpass the Spurs in the record list to become second in the West, while the Hornets have suffered two consecutive defeats, and they will definitely not want three consecutive defeats, so this game will definitely be a battle for the dragon." ”

"Shaq, do you like to win over there?" Barkley asked.

"Then you need to ask? Lakers, of course! O'Neal didn't think about it, and said with a big grin: "The Lakers have the strongest Big Three combination in history, Paul, Kobe, and Howard, in my opinion, even more terrifying than the original Bulls Jordan, Pippen and Rodman Big Three." Although the Hornets have a Wang Meng who is relatively strong, and also won the dream start of the opening 14 consecutive wins, but after all, this is a gap in strength, and I think it is difficult for the Hornets to win. ”

"Really?" Barkley said with a smirk: "How do I think that a good lineup doesn't necessarily mean that you can win?" ”

"Humph!" O'Neal looked at Barkley and knew that this girl must be laughing at herself. At the beginning, the Lakers formed a super dream F4 combination of Payton + Kobe + Malone + O'Neal after three consecutive championships, but this seemingly invincible lineup was overturned by a civilian team of the Pistons, and Kobe and O'Neal completely broke up and parted ways, which has always been one of O'Neal's biggest weaknesses, even if he later helped Wade get another championship ring in the Heat, he couldn't let O'Neal erase this black spot.

O'Neal is very unhappy, but he also has a magic weapon to fight back, "I think it's okay, the average player builds a big three for the championship, and most of them can get their wish, Jordan, needless to say, Garnett and Ray Allen went to the Celtics, didn't they also get a championship ring?" There are also James Bosh, although the Lakers did not get the championship ring in the first year when they came to the Heat, but they got their wish in the second year, so sometimes the superstar huddle is also one of the effective ways to get the championship ring" said, O'Neal suddenly patted his bald head, "Oops! I'm sorry! I forgot! There are always exceptions, don't they? For example, some people"

Barkley's face turned green in an instant.

O'Neal is obviously talking about him, and like O'Neal, Barkley certainly has bad luck, in fact, any superstar has not said that it has always been smooth and smooth. Barkley was arguably one of the best players in the league back then, but he never won a championship ring, so at the end of his career, Barkley also had the idea of getting a championship ring before retiring. So, Barkley opted for a transfer. He and the Bulls' Scott Pippen came to the Rockets and formed a rather fantastic Big Three with Olajuwon, and it turned out that the three old guys got together and couldn't win the championship, and Barkley eventually retired disappointed, and like Karl Malone, who later formed F4, he never won a championship ring in his life.

In fact, Barkley's career failure is nothing at all, compared to the mistakes made by other superstars, although Barkley's choice ultimately failed, but at least he still left a reputation for the championship, look at other NBA superstars, Magic Johnson messed around and contracted AIDS, Kobe Bryant's forced door incident, Arenas's gun case, compared to them, Barkley Although there are constant fights on the court, at least he is a relatively well-behaved player.

"Alright, alright! Watch the game! Seeing that Barkley and O'Neal, the two old enemies, were staring at each other and had the momentum to fight in disobedience, Smith League played a round and said: "The players on both sides are already standing on the halfway line and ready to jump the ball. ”

Oden's physical fitness is among the top in the league, but compared to Warcraft, it is a bit of a gap after all, and Howard allocated basketball to his own players before Oden.

After Paul controlled the ball, he found that Wang Meng was blocking in front of him, and he did not hesitate at all and immediately passed the ball to Kobe. Kobe Bryant singled Tony Allen with the ball, relying on his height advantage, and hit the first ball of the game with a mid-range jumper.

Looking at Paul, Wang Meng thought in his heart how to fight.

Paul is different from Westbrook's players, although this guy is only 26 years old this year, but he is as cunning as an old fox, knowing that he can't beat Wang Meng, he directly avoids Wang Meng and dodges Wang Meng to hit the most certain point.

After Wang Meng controlled the ball for half of the court, he found that Bao [***] simply didn't come to defend himself, and it was Kobe Bryant who was marking him.

"Hmph." Wang Meng snorted lightly, Paul, as the point guard who is second only to him in the league now, even Rose and Westbrook were pressed under him, and he really had a bit of brains, if Paul dared to play against himself, then he was absolutely sure to beat Paul at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, because whether it was height or physical speed, Paul was not his opponent, and the speed that Paul was best at would not have any advantage after Wang Meng opened the instant explosion.

The opponent is Kobe, and it is not as easy to play as Paul.

Although it was not easy, Wang Meng still decided to fight by himself, sinking his body slightly, and Wang Meng dribbled and launched suddenly.

Kobe Bryant immediately followed Wang Meng at the moment of his action, in the Olympic Games, Kobe Bryant once worked with James and others to block Wang Meng without success, but this is not a reason for Kobe not to actively defend, especially in the face of Wang Meng, this person who has a very special relationship with himself, Kobe Bryant does not want Wang Meng to score so easily.

As soon as his body moved, Kobe suddenly found that Wang Meng in front of him had disappeared.
