A happy Christmas was spent at Taylor's house, and the next day, Wang Meng got on the plane back to New Orleans alone. Moving on to the tight regular season event.

"Well done! Just hit it like that! Monty clapped and shouted from the sidelines.

Wang Meng burst into the inside line again, handed the ball to Oden in the inner pass, and Oden took the basketball and directly made a powerful dunk, wantonly ravaging the opponent's basket.

Glancing at the score on the timer, a smile appeared on Wang Meng's face.

Since the end of Christmas, the Hornets' fantastic start to the game seems to have been regained a bit.

Starting from the 27th against the Pacers, to January 12th, the Hornets created another wave of 9 consecutive wins, and winning today's game with the Timberwolves will make the Hornets 10 consecutive wins.

The Timberwolves continue to sink this season, although the team has a double-double manufacturing machine like Love that averages 20+10 per game, but the Timberwolves are still a weak team in the league, and they are far away from the playoffs.

In the face of a team that can't attack like this and has a scummy defense, the Hornets don't have to exert any force at all, and they can easily win the game.

Kevin Lefu still brushed out the two pairs of 24+13 data, but what is the use of the light brush data? Throughout the game, Lefu was entangled in the entanglement with Gasol and Oden, two big men, and was extremely depressed.

The Hornets beat the Timberwolves to extend their winning streak to 10 straight games and continue to lead the league, and the Hornets' record has also changed to 32-4.

In ten games, Wang Meng averaged 24 points and 11 assists per game double-double, with this person's performance and the team's good record, Wang Meng was elected the best player in the West in December, and Wang Meng was elected at the same time as the best player in the East is Nash, this 38-year-old guy has shown an amazing competitive level in the Knicks this season, averaging 15 points and 13 assists per game, leading the Knicks to a proud record of 28 wins and 10 losses, ranking second in the East, second only to the Heat.

It is worth mentioning that Nash has averaged two doubles per game for 4 consecutive seasons since 09, and as a 38-year-old old guy, Nash's performance has made everyone feel incredible.

The Hornets' opponent after a ten-game winning streak is the Knicks led by Nash.

Originally, the boss of the Knicks should be Anthony, but after Nash came to New York, he easily suppressed Anthony, Anthony not only did not have any objection, but was very happy, he was not worried about Nash and him robbing the boss, Nash is 38 years old, and he will retire soon, what do you care?

And Anthony has played what can be said to be the most beautiful season of his career since Nash's help, averaging 28.5 points per game and shooting 50 percent from the field. Anthony is also the third small forward to average more than 25 points per game and shoot more than 50 percent from the field, after James and Durant.

Not only Anthony, but with Nash, the Knicks' players are averaging very high points per game, with as many as 6 players scoring in double figures alone.

Anthony 28 points, Stoudemire 19, Nash 16, Jr. Smith 15, Shambaugh 13 and Chandler 10.

Against the Hornets again, the Knicks seemed to be full of firepower, especially Stoudemire, who had been thinking about the humiliation of Wang Meng and Yi Jianlian, and this encounter broke out all.

In the end, the Hornets lost to the Knicks 101-112, ending a 10-game winning streak.

After this game, the Hornets' losses reached 5.

At this time, there is more and more talk about the Hornets being able to break the 72-10 record of the Bulls dynasty, and the vast majority of people believe that it is unlikely that the Hornets will want to break the 72-10 record. Although the current Hornets record is 32-5, according to this probability, when the Hornets reach 10 losses, the win should be 64 wins, and if they work hard, 72 wins and 10 losses can be impacted.

However, many people know that the regular season is a long and extremely energy-consuming series, and the game is good at the beginning, but once it reaches the second half of the regular season, especially after the All-Star Weekend, the players' physical strength and energy are greatly depleted, and it is almost impossible to maintain a strong competitive state. For the vast majority of teams, 82 regular season games, the win percentage of the first 42 games and the bottom 42 games are due to the difference.

In this regard, many celebrities have given their own opinions.

Jordan, who personally created a miracle record of 72 wins and 10 losses, seemed very calm in the face of such a visit.

"72-10? It's impossible, although the Hornets are strong now, it's too difficult to break the 72-10 record, and to be honest, even if I'm young again now, and Pippen Rodman comes back, I don't have the confidence to lead the team to a 72-10 record again. This kind of record is not just a good enough team to achieve, after all, there are 30 teams in the league and you can't guarantee beating all of them. Wang Meng is indeed the most promising young man in the league at the moment, but he is still too young, maybe when he is 25 years older, or about 28 years old, he can impact my record. ”

Compared to Joe's helper, his right-hand man Scott Pippen has maintained a wait-and-see attitude on whether the Hornets can break the record, "Can the Hornets break the record? No one can be sure of that, can they? After all, it hasn't happened yet, and no one can predict what will happen in the future, and now it seems that 72-10 is indeed a very incredible record, but when we set this record, who could have imagined that it would really succeed? ”

Compared with Jordan's euphemism and Pippen's ambiguity, Rodman, the last big worm of the Bulls' Big Three, is very blunt, "Break 72-10? Are you kidding? Is it possible? Of course it's impossible, it's completely impossible to get 72-10 or surpass the Hornets' current lineup, this joke is not funny at all, if you ask me if the Heat or the Lakers can hit 72-10, it may be a little interesting, ask the Hornets? Although it is now number one in the league, I can tell you unequivocally! No way! If the Hornets can really break the regular season record of 72-10, then I'd rather believe I'm a woman! I'm serious, if the Hornets can really break the 72-10 record this season, no, as long as they tie that record, I'll dress up as a woman and watch all the Hornets playoff games next! I said I would do it! ”

This interview was specially left by Monty and played during a meeting within the Hornets team.

Wang Meng and the others looked at Rodman's arrogant face and gritted their teeth angrily.

"This girl is too arrogant! I want to slap him in the face! The hot-tempered Wallace said bluntly.

"That's right! Wang Meng should be asked to teach Rodman a good lesson, isn't this girl able to fight? Let the king beat him to death! Oden exclaimed.

Monty was covered in a cold sweat, "Hey, hey! You guys! I'm not here to show you this, it's not for you to fight! Give me some quiet! The general manager will also come to this meeting! ”

"General Manager?" The players fell silent.

For Lis, the beautiful general manager, the Hornets players felt very happy at first, with such a beautiful woman as the general manager, and a stuffy person like Barnes went to the general manager's office for two days and then chatted with the general manager. But as they got to know Lis, they gradually learned that this incomparably beautiful beauty was actually a femme fatale, and if you were unhappy, she would definitely kill you.

So far, there is hardly a single Hornets player who is not afraid of Lis.

At this time, the sound of high heels suddenly came from the distance.

"The general manager is here!" The Hornets players immediately sat upright, listening intently to the head coach's instructions.

Monty rolled his eyes when he saw this, this group of grandchildren can really pretend!

The door was pushed open, and Liz, dressed in a business attire, walked in.

"General Manager." Monty gestured to Liz.

Liz nodded and said lightly, "Go ahead." ”

"Okay." Monty thought back to what he had just said, and then said, "Almost everyone thinks we can't break the 72-10 record, and they actually underestimate us so much, as the head coach of the Hornets, I can't bear it anyway." ”

"Since we can't bear it, of course we have to fight back, and for us, the best counterattack is to sew them in their mouths with constant victories! We must defend our dignity with non-stop victories! Do you understand? 72 wins and 10 wins are not as difficult as we imagined, as long as we are united and willing to work hard, we can definitely do it! ”

With that, Monty looked at Liz.

Liz nodded, opened her mouth and said: "We are a rebuilding team, as we all know, we started to rebuild last season, and this season, there are only one or two players in the entire team who are still the original Hornets. I thought it would take at least 3 to 5 years to rebuild the team, but to my surprise, our Hornets made the playoffs in their first season and got a good second round, and so far this season, they have a good record of 32 wins and 5 losses. I'm proud to say that no rebuilding team has had as much success as the Hornets. I believe that we will be more successful in the future, and we will be able to compete even for the championship! ”

In front of the head coach and general manager, the Hornets players are in full swing.

But then, reality smashed into the Wasp general's face like a sledgehammer.

On January 16, the Hornets played away against the 76ers, and the Hornets players in this game seemed to have all suddenly lost their crosshairs, and even Wang Meng did not have any shots.

At 98:110, the Hornets lost to the 76ers and lost six games.

On January 17, the Hornets flew to Boston to play against the Celtics, and in the Celtics without Pierce, the Hornets lost again, and under Rondo's defense, Wang Meng made 8 mistakes, you know, since last season, Wang Meng's mistakes have never been 5 times.

The Hornets have lost seven games.

On January 20, the Hornets faced the Warriors at home, and the Hornets players felt a little collective in this game, but the Warriors rained three points, which was an endless three-point rain.

20 three-pointers in a single game made the Hornets lose again.

So far, the Hornets have suffered a four-game losing streak, and their record has changed from 32-5 to 32-8.

As if falling from heaven to hell in an instant, no one in the league now has to guess whether the Hornets will break their 72-10 record, because according to the current situation, the Hornets are not even 62-20.

"Check it out! I knew it! The Hornets have always been a pseudo-strong team, and a momentary strength does not represent everything, men, the most important thing is to last! Seeing this scene, Rodman shouted even more.

Wang Meng and the others are very depressed, but they don't feel good, what can they do? Sometimes this thing is so weird, when it's good, the basket thinks about the sea, and when it's unlucky, it doesn't dunk.

And Monty was so angry that he almost didn't run to jump off the building, and the general manager boasted that Haikou was going to hit 72-10, and immediately encountered 4 consecutive defeats, which was simply slapping Monty in the face, and the angry Monty had nothing to say about the Hornets, plus practice! Don't you guys have no touch? Isn't it how you can't shoot a shot? Give me a hard practice! I don't believe in it!

So far, Monty has no idea about the Bulls' 72-10 record, and jokes aside, at this state, the Hornets can get 60 wins this season.

For the team's consecutive defeats, Wang Meng also felt very aggrieved, he played all four games with all his strength, but he couldn't win, Wang Meng was also angry in his heart. Coupled with additional training, the fire in Wang Meng's heart is getting bigger and bigger.

In this case, the Hornets played at home against the Kings on January 22.

Four consecutive defeats, or lost to teams like the Warriors and 76ers who can only barely make the playoffs, which is a big shame for the Hornets, and it is also very disappointing for Hornets fans, who were originally hoping that the Hornets could break the Bulls' 72-10 record.

Even so, the Hornets' home games are still full, and the Hornets are also the league's famous devil's home court, which is different from teams like the Heat Knicks.

Wang Meng and others came on the field, and they still received cheers from the Hornets fans.

"This game must be won! Otherwise, it will be five consecutive defeats! Monty said very seriously.

Wang Meng and the others nodded, "Head coach!" We're not going to lose! ”

The Kings are now a well-known bottom team in the league, and they have been in the lottery all year round, and most of the time they want to sign for the champion, how can Wang Meng endure being defeated by such a team?

The King has been working on rebuilding in recent years, but unlike the Hornets, the King's rebuilding is difficult, originally sent away Martin and others, after signing the potential rookie Evans, the King has a very bright future, Evans is even more powerful in the rookie game to cut 20 + 5 + 5 average data per game, eye-catching, in the second year the King also selected the potential center Cousins, the team has the core inside and outside, it seems that the rebuild has been completed.

But since the second season, Evans seems to have suddenly withered, and the rookies are playing better and better year by year, and Evans is getting better and worse year by year. And Cousins, although he has talent, but his surname is not flattering, Ya is definitely a typical bad boy, disobedient to teammates, non-stop coaching, loves to fight with opponents on the field, and likes to make awkward trouble with teammates off the court, such a living treasure makes the king's uniform team a headache.

Because of these reasons, the King's record has not improved.

The game is about to begin, and players from both sides reach the halfway line ready to jump the ball.

Facing Cousins, Auden was not worried at all. You're a potential center, I'm still the champion, if it weren't for the injury, who of us would be afraid of whom!

Cousins is heavier than Oden, and the bounce is far less than Oden, and the jump ball is not Oden's opponent at all, and the basketball is easily dialed by Oden to Wang Meng.

Wang Meng received the ball and immediately went down, standing in front of him was only 1.75 meters Thomas, looking at Thomas, Wang Meng almost didn't laugh, are you here to show me the lower limit?

Without any idea of making any feints, Wang Meng pulled out his hand directly from the three-point line and easily hit a three-pointer.

"It seems to feel pretty good today." Wang Meng thought as he retreated.

Wang Meng's hand today is really good, a few minutes before the opening, the Hornets' offense was almost all covered by Wang Meng alone. Poor Thomas's pitiful height and weak body are almost bullied as much as Wang Meng wants, all kinds of breakthrough dunks, and long-distance shots.

After a few minutes of play, Wang Meng had already scored 8 points and was scary with high efficiency, and at this time the king was finally willing to change the defense, and Evans was replaced in the position of marking Wang Meng.

"If you prevent it, I can prevent it?" Wang Meng looked at Evans's thick lips like sausages and wanted to laugh, but he didn't have the time to laugh at this moment.

Standing outside the three-point line, Wang Meng took a probing step, Evanston took a step back, and Evans seemed a little unconfident to defend Wang Meng's breakthrough.

Seeing Evans retreating, Wang Meng immediately retracted the foot that popped out, and pulled out his hand outside the three-point line.

"Huh!" The basketball hit again, and this was already the third three-pointer that Wang Meng had thrown. So far, Wang Meng has made a total of 5 shots, three outside the three-point line, two inside the two-point line, including all three-point shots, one two-point shot, and one dunk hit, the game time was less than 5 minutes, Wang Meng alone cut 11 points.

"Wang Meng's hand feels very good today! Just fight around Wang Meng! On the sidelines, Monty watched Wang Meng easily shoot a three-pointer again, and said secretly in his heart.

Wang Meng scored 11 points as if no one was there, and the head coach of the Kings hurriedly called a timeout, trying to make Wang Meng's hot hand weaken slightly.

However, this pause seems to be of no use at all.
