People have been shocked by the Hornets' starting data, which is too scary. The key is that four of these people are still on rookie contracts!They still have a lot of time to win various honors together!

Of course, this statistic is terrifying, but it’s okay for many championship teams, because once the defensive strength comes up, their stats will definitely not be very good!What makes them most desperate is the Hornets' bench lineup!

利文斯顿出战17.1分钟可以拿下5.1分2.1篮板1.8助攻命中率高达50.3％！三分命中率34.3％

雷阿伦出战19.分钟可以拿下9.7分2.8篮板2.0助攻命中率高达44.3％，三分命中率高达41.3％！

And Bradley, known as the third team, can also score 12.3 points and 4.2 steals in 0.8 minutes!Middleton, Okafor, Jason Smith, etc. can contribute as long as they play!

It can be said that the Hornets are all-round strong!Such data makes all teams desperate!
After the game, Presti was interviewed by reporters,

The reporter asked: "The fans have expressed despair after seeing your player statistics so far, thinking that no team can beat you. What do you think?"

Presti smiled and said: "The fans are right or wrong. In this league, no team is a real underdog, and nothing is impossible to happen, because players are human and their state will also fluctuate, so I will not be surprised to lose to any team in the following schedule."

After saying this, he paused and continued: "But if we play a series against us, then it can be said that no team can beat us in a series!"

The reporter then asked: "Now it seems that you are determined to win the championship, and most of the fans now also believe that you will win the championship. Besides, have you thought about any other special goals, such as breaking the record for the longest winning streak of the Lakers, or how many consecutive victories at home? "

"Of course, but our goal is the Bulls' record of 72 wins!" Presti said confidently.

Wow, the reporters suddenly let out bursts of exclamation, 72 wins record!This news is absolutely explosive!I can't imagine how high Presti will reach in NBA history if the Hornets finally achieve such a goal!
In the previous life, Curry, Thompson, Green, Iguodala, Barnes, Bogut and other partners, under the leadership of Kerr, created the best record in NBA regular season history of 2015 wins and 16 losses in the 73-9 season.

But now, the Hornets' lineup is much stronger than that of the Warriors. The overall offensive power is amazing, and the defensive efficiency is also the best!The current Hornets are far better than the Warriors of that season in every position!

On the front line, Paul George’s offensive and defensive abilities are much higher than Barnes’s. Davis’s defensive ability and offensive ability are also better than Bogut’s at the center. Although Green’s defense can’t be compared with the 2015-2016 season, the level of the current Hornets’ bench is much higher than that of the Warriors in the previous life. David West alone is enough. David West at this time in the previous life averaged 17.1 points, 7.7 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.9 blocks per game. Excellent starters with a rate of 49.8%!Not to mention that the Hornets still have players like Jimmy Butler, Whiteside, and Ray Allen!

Of course, with so many excellent players, sometimes Presti himself doesn’t know how to allocate time. Presti knows that Bradley and Middleton have great potential and need time to cultivate. Bradley is fine. The first two seasons are still the main rotation. Middleton has no time to cultivate. This is the trouble of happiness!
So in many games, Presti thought about playing in the third quarter and then getting off work. He went to Middleton, Bradley, etc., and used garbage time to train them.

Then the reporter interviewed the Hornets players. When the reporter asked the players about breaking the Bulls’ regular season record, the players were also taken aback. Curry said in surprise: “Is that true, the coach really said that? Can we really break the Bulls’ regular season record?” Then he laughed and said, “Although I think it’s unbelievable, but the coach said, it can definitely be done,” as did other players.

If the Hornets players started fighting for the championship, then they are now trying their best to break the regular season record, because it is no accident that the championship is already in the pocket, and the championship is there every year. In the end, perhaps only a few core members and the final FMVP are remembered, but breaking the regular season record is different. That is really the history that people remember in the NBA.
The next day, when Presti's interview was released, it immediately aroused great interest. From now on, the number of people watching the Hornets game must be much higher than before, because people want to see if the new regular season record is broken!

On December 12, the Hornets easily defeated the Pacers 12 to 125 at home.

The current Pacers can be said to be very weak. In the previous life, the Pacers who tied the tiebreaker with the Heat in the previous life had only Hibbert and Stephenson as their core five.

Without David West, without Paul George and now without Granger, the entire Pacers system has gone wrong, and the third and fourth positions have become the most fatal weaknesses.

Presti didn't even make a special tactical arrangement before the game. He just said that he would play as normal and try to find the advantage of misplacement on the field as much as possible!As soon as the game started, Thompson made a convenient screen and threw two three-pointers. Although Stephenson was fierce defensively and was very strong, he was only average when he was off the ball. In addition, Davis and Green would give various screens. Stephenson couldn't defend at all!

But Curry played mediocre in this game. George Hill's wingspan is very exaggerated, and his defense is tough. He has been clinging to Curry, which made Curry very uncomfortable.

至于保罗乔治则是完全将步行者的锋线打蒙了，全场23投17中砍下37分6篮板4助攻外加3抢断！他是这场比赛获胜的最大功臣，由与保罗乔治的出色发挥三节结束便已经领先19分！
In the fourth quarter, Presti continued to use the combination of the second team and the third team, and the offensive continued unabated. The lineup of Pacers Hansbrough, Augustin, Johnson, Gerald Green, and Mahinmi was completely unstoppable. With this lineup, the Hornets also won 10 points in a single quarter in the fourth quarter!
Back-to-back Hornets playing the Suns are relaxing, winning easily 124 to 92!

In this game, Presti rested Curry, Paul George, Davis, and Ray Allen. The starters used Livingston, Thompson, Jimmy Butler, Green and Whiteside to cover the sun in the first quarter,

After the Suns entered the reconstruction, there were basically no outstanding scorers in the team. Scola, who averaged the most points per game, was traded from the Rockets, but he could only average 12.8 points per game! No.2 is Gortat's 11.1 points. Facing the Suns' sluggish offense, Presti replaced Thompson for a rest in the second quarter and replaced Bradley. Even so, the Suns lost by more than 30 points!Rather than saying that the Hornets' offensive efficiency is terrifying, it is better to say that the Suns' defense is poor.

On the 14th, the Hornets played against the Eagles at home, and the game was equally easy.

Without Joe Johnson, the Eagles have been reduced to an underdog. The core is power forward Josh Smith, who is weak in defense and offense, and center Horford. The outside line is point guard Jeff Teague, and the fourth scorer is Korver.

After the Eagles entered the reconstruction, after losing several games in a row, the team suddenly found the rhythm of winning. The recent record of 9 games has achieved 7 wins, and it is now ranked sixth in the East, which is really unexpected.

However, after watching the video of their victory, Presti found that the Eagles' current cooperation is relatively tacit, and Teague is not as independent as in his previous life. He can't dribble for 22 seconds and pass it out in the remaining two seconds, but organizes carefully.

Korvo has maintained the same shooting skills as in his previous life, and his body is young, and his defense has not become a colander. Presti takes this game more seriously.

Soon the game started, Korver scored 2 three-pointers at the start, helping the Eagles lead 8-3!

紧接着戴维斯在内线单打霍福德连续砍下4分为球队止血，但杰夫蒂格立即回敬三分！而史密斯更是强打格林打成2+1，老鹰以14-7保持领先！

Presti immediately paused. After the timeout, the team did not improve much. Instead, the Hawks shot more and more smoothly. Teague and Korver made another three-pointer and led the team to extend the score to 24-14.

At this time, Paul George scored 1 three-pointer for the Hornets, but Korver and Williams immediately hit 3 three-pointers to pay back. The Eagles continued to lead by double digits 33-21 by virtue of their outside firepower.In the last 2 minutes of this quarter, the Hawks' shooting percentage finally declined. The Hornets' Thompson scored the first three-pointer of the game. Curry made a breakthrough throw and the Hornets narrowed the score to 28-35 at the end of the first quarter!

Back in the second quarter, the Hornets came off the bench, which is also an important guarantee for the Hornets to be undefeated. David West scored 4 points in the interior, but the Hawks regained their touch on the outside. Korver and Moroma returned three points, and the Hawks continued to lead 43-34!

Then Horford was overwhelmed at the basket and scored 5 points with penalty shots, helping the Eagles extend their lead to 52-39.Although the Hornets' Jimmy Butler and Ray Allen scored three-pointers afterwards, Morrow immediately responded with a mid-range shot, Gerald Green also made a three-pointer, and the Hawks maintained a double-digit lead!
After the main Hawks came back, Teague then sent a series of wonderful passes, Horford and Smith succeeded in the interior, and the Hawks once led 66-51 by 15 points!
At this time, Presti paused again, emphasizing defense. After returning, the Eagles suddenly lost power in the last 3 minutes of the quarter under the high confrontation.

In the second half, Horford hit the inside and scored another 4 points at the beginning of the third quarter, and Korver also hit a three-pointer. The Eagles, who were blooming inside and outside, re-extended the lead to 73-63.After that, Davis scored 4 points for the Pelicans with a strong attack at the basket. Curry made a three-pointer, but Smith rushed to the rebound to complete the tip-up and scored a three-pointer. The Eagles were able to suppress the opponent's momentum of chasing points!

However, the Hornets then launched an offensive to chase points. David West, Jimmy Butler and Ray Allen scored inside and helped the team narrow the point difference to 76-80.Although Teague and Smith made three-pointers later, Paul George immediately responded with a three-pointer. Davis continued to attack the inside and scored 5 points. The Hornets clung to the score!

In the last 2 and a half minutes of this quarter, the Hornets' bench lineup continued a good rhythm. Jimmy Butler, Livingston and Ray Allen succeeded in shooting from inside and outside.

As soon as the last quarter came up, Curry came up and scored 3+1, Paul George broke through the basket and succeeded, and the Hornets took a 100-93 lead by 7 points!
Jeff Teague then made a foul and hit 2 free throws to stop the Hawks from bleeding. Horford made a three-pointer and the Hawks were able to bite the score.However, the Eagles misfired again in the middle of the quarter and fell into a 3-minute scoring drought. The Hornets' Thompson hit a three-pointer, Davis scored 2+1, and the Hornets re-extended their lead to 110-102!

At this time, Teague hit a three-pointer for the Eagles to break the deadlock, but Davis immediately counterattacked and dunked in response, and then Paul George broke out suddenly, scoring 6 points in a row from inside and outside, helping the Hornets to extend the lead to 114-102!

In the last 2 minutes of the game, Shen Shen regained his touch with Smith throughout the game, broke through and hit 2 three-pointers, scored 10 points alone, led the Eagles to a 10-2 climax, and chased the score to 22-114 with 118 seconds left.Then the Eagles used foul tactics, but Presti replaced Green in advance, and the free throws on the field were very stable. In the end, the Hornets only won the game with a 117-point lead at 111:6!
