Chapter 311: Approaching the Winning Streak
"Hurry!" Wang Meng yelled at his teammates and threw the ball out hard.
The Hornets players on the court all ran wildly, and the fastest runner was Wallace, who received the basketball, faced the opposing defender, jumped directly, and dunked the basketball into the basket through Wallace.
"Wallace! Slam Score! The home DJ of the Hornets roared passionately, "There is 1 minute left in the end of the game, the Hornets 103:94, have sealed the win in advance, let's cheer loudly to celebrate the Hornets' 18th consecutive victory!" ”
"18 wins in a row. That's fast! Wang Meng looked at the 18-game winning streak held high by the fans on the field and couldn't help but sigh.
After All-Star Weekend, the Hornets came on an eight-game winning streak, and with the 10-game winning streak before All-Star Weekend, the Hornets' winning streak turned into a terrifying 18-game winning streak.
In the second half of the All-Star Weekend, due to the sudden strength of the Western players, the Eastern finally lost to the West, and James and others worked extremely hard, but they could not let the Eastern reach the top in the All-Star Game.
The MVP of the All-Star Game is Durant, who scored 36 points in the East, and the team has both Paul and Wang Meng, two passing masters, as a master of off-ball offense, Durant is simply like a fish in water, scoring is as simple as Cagua chopping vegetables, as long as he runs without the ball, he can get the pass immediately if he has an open opportunity.
In addition to Durant, the highest-scoring All-Star Game was last season's regular season Finals double MVP James, who scored the second-highest 31 points in the game and had a quasi-triple-double of 10 rebounds and 9 assists, but still couldn't lead the East to victory.
This All-Star, Wang Meng's data is not particularly outstanding, 19 points, 8 assists, mainly because Wang Meng did not play his full strength in the All-Star, All-Star Weekend is no longer a very attractive project for Wang Meng, the last All-Star Weekend, Wang Meng has already won the All-Star MVP, so the motivation for the All-Star is much less.
During the All-Star Weekend, Wang Meng did not exert his strength, but his intention was to spend all his energy on the regular season.
After the All-Star weekend, Wang Meng led the Hornets to a strong winning streak.
8 consecutive wins, this streak does not seem to be a particularly difficult streak in the eyes of the league's strong teams, but you must know that before this 8 consecutive wins, the Hornets have won 10 in a row.
With 18 consecutive wins, the Hornets have unknowingly approached the 22 consecutive wins created by Yao Ming and Maddie's Rockets that year.
On March 13, the Hornets beat the Nets by 21 points, bringing the winning streak to 22 consecutive wins and tying the Rockets' record of 22 consecutive wins.
On March 16, the Hornets played against the league's bottom team Wizards, in this game, Gasol, the core of the Hornets team, accidentally broke his ankle and left the game early when grabbing rebounds with the Wizards center, in the absence of the main offensive firepower inside, the Hornets' outside showed extremely strong firepower, and finally defeated the Wizards by 6 points, creating a 23-game winning streak, breaking the 22-game winning streak held by the Rockets.
Fans across the U.S. and around the world were almost simultaneously focused on the Hornets, who were not known at all at the start of the season.
"How far can a wasp go?" This issue has become one of the hottest topics in the league.
Most people still believe that although the Hornets are so tough, it is still an almost impossible task to break the league's current longest winning streak, and the Lakers' 33-game winning streak is still an almost impossible task. 23 consecutive wins, the Hornets are only ten games away from 33 consecutive wins, but in these ten games, the Hornets have to face the sniping of the Thunder and the Heat, among them, the Heat is the opponent of the Hornets after the 32nd consecutive victory, it will become the biggest obstacle to whether the Hornets can break the record, of course, this needs to see if the Hornets can sacrifice the Thunder and the Lakers.
On March 20, the Hornets faced the Thunder away, and in Ohio, in the face of the new version of the Thunder three less blocking, the Hornets fell into a bitter battle at the beginning.
At the end of the first quarter, the Hornets trailed the Thunder by as many as 10 points.
But immediately after the second quarter, the Hornets broke out under the leadership of the sixth man, Roy, and the Hornets scored a full 15 points more than the Thunder in a single quarter, not only overtaking the score, but also stretching the score to 5 points. After the Thunder were caught up in the second quarter, there was no chance to chase the score back again.
Durant scored a game-high 49 points, but watched helplessly as his team lost.
Stop the Hornets from winning the first team in a row, defeated!
On March 23, the Hornets won again at home, this time against the Nuggets, the Nuggets had no power to fight with the Hornets at all, and now only the Heat is left to stop the Hornets.
At this time, everyone's eyes were on the two teams, the Heat and the Hornets. At this time, many people suddenly discovered that the Heat's winning streak was also frighteningly high.
The Hornets, who beat the Nuggets, have reached a staggering 31-game winning streak and are just three games away from setting a new record. As the biggest opponent of the Hornets to break the record, the Heat has unwittingly increased their winning streak to 27 games.
The Heat have won 27 in a row?
Many people who had previously set their eyes on the Hornets were stunned to find that the Heat had unwittingly broken the 22-game winning streak held by the Rockets in the former league.
According to the prediction, if both teams can keep winning before they meet, then when the two teams meet, the Hornets will have a 32-game winning streak, while the Heat will also have a 29-game winning streak.
Two teams with a slight winning streak in history met at this time, which is almost a huge prosperity rarely seen in a century.
Stern certainly won't let go of such an opportunity, and now, almost the whole world is crazy about the Propagandists' 32-game winning streak vs. 29-game winning streak in the battle of the century.
When these two teams meet again, no matter who wins, the possibility of breaking the Lakers' 33-game winning streak is very big, and the Hornets naturally needless to say, they can break the record in just one game, and the Heat's opponents after the Hornets are not strong teams, as long as they are careful, they can also easily break the record.
Therefore, both teams attach great importance to the battle between the two sides.
Who wouldn't want to make history? Especially a monumental history like the longest streak?
Needless to say, Wang Meng's longest winning streak in history is an A-level task, and after completing this task, Wang Meng will get an unexpected task reward, so the game between the Heat and the Hornets, Wang Meng is bound to win, whether it is for a winning streak or for the task, he must win!
