Chapter 342 Winning streak
After the first quarter, the Hornets have led by 14 points!
"This Hornet's attack is too fierce!"

"The Hornets played dead in the preseason. This is simply invincible!"

"The most powerful thing about the Hornets is that the efficiency of the substitute is only a little lower than that of the starter. How can others play!"

··········
The Celtics, known for their iron-blooded defense, really surprised many people. Even though they thought that the Hornets would win this game, they did not expect to establish a double-digit lead at the beginning. The Celtics fans on the scene seemed a little confused.

In the second quarter, Presti put Livingston, Ray Allen, Jimmy Butler, David West, and Whiteside in the lineup. Livingston held the ball to the top of the arc, and Ray Allen came out to catch the ball!When Ray Allen received the ball, there were huge boos at the scene!
Presti shook his head with a wry smile when he heard the boos, while Kerr next to him laughed and said, "This is normal in the NBA!"

Presti said with a smile: "If Ray Allen switches to the Heat or other competitive Eastern teams get booed, that's all. If it's our Western team, it shouldn't be. Besides, Ray Allen has contributed a lot to the Celtics."

"Haha, don't forget, you beat the Celtics to win the championship one year, and the Celtics fans still hate you!" Cole laughed,

On the court, David West held the ball in a low post, the Celtics did not double-team, and directly ran over Shanglan and made a hit!

Here, Basabo quickly led the frontcourt and gave it to Jeff Green. Jeff Green held the ball in a low post, turned around and pulled directly!Also hit!

The Celtics have no one who can defend David West in the low post, which caused David West to keep scoring points in low post singles!Fortunately, the Celtics have a good touch from the outside. Barca Bobiao chased the open three-pointer, Skin Green teamed up with Courtney-Lee to make continuous hits from the outside, Jimmy Butler made a steady jumper with an emergency stop, and then caught the ball at the top of the arc and scored a three-pointer!
Jeff Green turned over with a jumper and went into the net, Jimmy Butler counterattacked and made a one-stop layup, Courtney Lee hit a three-pointer with a screen, David West made a mid-range jumper and went into the net, and Barcelona made a three-pointer from the bottom corner!

Courtney Lee missed a mid-range shot, but Jared Salinger was able to follow up with a dunk to stop the bleeding in time. Ray Allen continued to hit consecutive three-pointers with his touch!

In the final stage, the two sides will switch back to the starting lineup, but the Celtics' offense and methods have improved during this period.At halftime, the Hornets led the Celtics by 59 points at 47:12!
In the Hornets locker room, Presti said with a smile: "The Celtics have played a long time as a substitute, but we just played normally. They will not have such a touch in the second half. We will go all out to win the game."

Then Presti arranged a simple tactic, the designed tactic is very simple, run and bomb!Speed ​​up the offensive rhythm, get the rebound and rush as soon as possible, no matter who comes to the frontcourt, you can shoot, increase the number of rounds, and run as much as possible!

And once it falls into a positional battle, no matter who holds the ball, everyone else will run and throw it as soon as there is a chance to pass it out!And if there is no chance, a pick and roll can be shot!

The average age of the Celtics is too high. Garnett is 36 and Pierce is 35. As long as they run and play, Presti will not play for half a quarter, and the Celtics will collapse in both offensive and defensive rhythms!
In the Celtics locker room, the coach encouraged: "You guys played very well, especially during the bench stage, you actually played back and forth with the Hornets bench, which has the highest score in the league. Hold on, drag the game to the end, and we can win!"

At the beginning of the second half, Rondo slowly dribbled to the frontcourt. After his teammates settled down, Bass stepped forward to cover, Nelson walked in, Bass went down, the ball was given to Bass, and Bass took off directly with the ball!If you face an ordinary insider, maybe it will be really deducted!But this is Davis!Just slap the ball down!

Green got the rebound and quickly passed the ball to Curry, and Curry who got the ball accelerated and rushed forward!

When the slowly retreating Celtics realized it, Curry rushed to the top of the arc and chased for a three-pointer! !Hollow hits!
Rondo dribbled to the frontcourt, and Pierce, who ran out, caught the ball and threw it!Bang!

Davis rose from the basket, took off the rebound, and immediately gave it to Paul George who was about to get off!Paul George took the ball and rushed straight!Although the Celtics retreated desperately, they couldn't catch up!Come to the top of the arc to chase the three-pointer!Bang Dang missed this time, but got a rebound, and the Celtics also settled down to defend!

Here, Rondo used the cover to break through, and Green came to help defend!No interference!Green gets the rebound
The Celtics consciously retreated quickly this time, and the Thunder Hornets did not push this fast break, but Paul George still rushed inside and gave the ball to Thompson!

Thompson fixed-point launch!The ball is still in!
The Celtics continue to stay in the position, and they also need to take a break to run with the Hornets. They are too tired!
Pierce leaned his back against Paul George, pushed it up, suddenly turned and walked in, there was room, and he shot directly!Stop the bleeding hit!

After returning from the timeout, the Celtics struggled to catch up, but not only did the point difference not narrow, but they fell behind to 27 points again on the Hornets' three-pointer!The Celtics had no hope of self-government and replaced the substitute, and Presti also brought the substitute up!
In the end, the Hornets beat the Celtics away!

On November 11, the Hornets ushered in a challenge from the Suns at home, beating the Suns 15-128 at home.

With the Suns this season, it is undoubtedly one of the weakest teams. Except for Dragic, the other players in the team are not good.
库里，保罗乔治，汤普森，三个外线炮台直接将太阳在第二节的时候就射落了！两节打开！库里出战20分钟13投9中，三分7投6中，砍下27分6助攻，保罗乔治出战19分钟10投7中，三分球7投5中砍下20分4篮板，而汤普森则砍下19分，其中三分球10中9！其中有一个3+1！

In the second half, Presti had a training lineup, but even the training lineup could not be resisted by the Sun. The point difference in the third quarter had reached 30 points. In the last quarter, Presti was on the third team and finally beat the Suns.

Playing the Blazers back-to-back with the Clippers is just playing, and they won 113-90 easily.

Without Curry, the Clippers still have many excellent three-point shooters. Marginal guard Barbosa scored 18 points and 13 assists in 2 minutes of playing, and made 5 of 3 three-pointers.

On the 17th, the Hornets played against the Trail Blazers at home. During this period, the typical honeymoon was mostly tank teams. The Trail Blazers did not enter the playoffs this season in the previous life.

But Presti did not underestimate the Blazers, after all, there are still big hearts Lillard, Aldridge and so on. .

Soon the game started. The Hornets first attacked Curry and missed a three-pointer. Then Paul George grabbed an offensive rebound and sent an assist. Curry scored two points. .Blazers pause!
Back from the timeout, Paul George hit again from the low post. The Trail Blazers were unwilling to open the score. Aldridge scored 2+1. Lillard scored a three-pointer and entered the Hornets timeout.
After returning from the timeout, the two sides entered a stalemate in the second half of the first quarter. Lillard scored two three-pointers in a row. Paul George continued to score in singles. With Paul George missing the last shot, the first quarter ended and the Hornets led 31-27.

In the second quarter, Aldridge completed an alley-oop, and Davis immediately made an air cut with his right hand. In the tug-of-war, David West and Jimmy Butler played one after another, helping the Hornets expand their advantage. With Jimmy Butler hitting another left-handed throw, the Hornets widened the point difference to double digits!The two sides substituted and took the starter back
As time passed, the Blazers' offensive efficiency began to decline. Paul George continued to connect the team, assisted Davis to complete a dunk, and completed a layup around the screen. Lillard stepped forward to complete the 2+1 to bite the score. In the last 3 minutes, the Hornets suddenly opened fire, Green completed the dunk, Curry scored 2+1, and Batum responded with 2+1!At the end of the first half, the Hornets led by 12 points!

Davis immediately stood up and completed 2+1 to stabilize the position. The offensive efficiency of the Blazers Aldridge and Lillard also began to decline and failed to continue to narrow the point difference. The Hornets finally shot down the Blazers at home.

On the 19th, the Hornets beat the Cavaliers 124 to 83 at home.

The Cavaliers team is basically a tank without James. Tristan Thompson, Dion Waiters and Irving are the core of the team, but the players are too young, inexperienced, and there are many discords in the team. The stronger Waiters has always refused to accept Irving. It is impossible for such a team to achieve any results.

At the beginning of the game, the Cavaliers spent it, and the Cavaliers' defense was like paper.

On the 21st, the Hornets' opponent, the Bulls, was also an underdog. Star point guard Derrick Rose was reimbursed for the season with a torn cruciate ligament in his left knee. Luol Deng became the team leader as soon as he joined the Bulls.

Although the Bulls' defense is good, but facing a strong outside team like the Hornets, it is not enough at all, and they are shot very quickly!But if Rose comes back, the Bulls can still make waves in the East.

On the 22nd, the Hornets played away against the Mavericks! , The Mavericks are also weak this season.

In the first quarter of the game, Nowitzki took the lead in relying on the defensive players to throw shots and scored the first blood of the game, but then, Davis took advantage of the inside height and arm length to hit three consecutive singles goals, and the Mavericks' offensive state is also very good.

Afterwards, the perimeter of the two sides also gradually opened up and hit long-range three-pointers one after another. After that, Jimmy Butler went into battle and hit a three-pointer as soon as he caught the ball, helping the Hornets take the lead.
As soon as the second quarter came up, Livingston hit a layup on the counterattack. The Mavericks made consecutive mistakes and Paul George hit a chasing three-pointer during the counterattack, gradually expanding the lead!
But then the Mavericks, under the leadership of Nowitzki, launched a counterattack to catch up with the point difference and clung to the score. In the second half of the second quarter, Paul George rushed to the basket after receiving the ball, facing the defender and scored 2+1, extending the lead of the Hornets to nearly ten.
Looking at the Mavericks' cooperation, Presti had to praise Carlisle for being really good, one set of tactics followed another.
