And this is not the end.

The Pelicans won steadily and were unstoppable, but under the guidance of Stevens, they were not arrogant or impatient.

In late November, they successively took the Bucks, Wizards, Grizzlies, Timberwolves and Pacers off the horse.

Before Thanksgiving, their record reached an incredible 15 wins and 0 losses!

15 consecutive victories, never lost!

Such a performance is incredible!

Super strong defense is the foundation of a winning streak. Tang Tian’s almost unsolvable performance in the final quarter is insurance, plus the new tactical system.

The Pelicans are playing the Warriors' performance last year, or even more outstanding than the Warriors' last year.

But they are not the only ones.

The Rockets struggled a little because of the running-in and adapting to D'Antoni's magic ball play;

The Cavaliers' still poor defense has caused their record to fluctuate;

The Spurs have made great strides but have lost 2 games so far;

The Mavericks' performance was much worse than expected, and Delong was proved to be embarrassed.

Another team that has not lost so far and has maintained a winning streak with one game less is the Warriors!

The defending champion has won 14 consecutive victories at the beginning, which also sets the best record in the team history.

In NBA history, this is the first time that two teams have won 14+ consecutive games at the same time at the beginning of the game.

And this is due to the crazy military competition in the western summer!

Now, the focus of the outside world is to see which of the two teams can continue their winning streak record longer.

It is worth mentioning that the two teams will usher in their first season in early December.

Even if the two teams are still winning streak, one side will definitely be ended.

The day before Thanksgiving, the Pelicans boarded the plane to Boston, and they will play against the Celtics on Thanksgiving.

The Celtics lost Stevens in the summer, and they then signed former Rockets head coach Mike Hale.

With the excellent personal defensive abilities of Bradley, Claude, Smart and others, McHale has created a good defensive system for this team.

The tradition of the Celtic Army is iron blood, which is also a kind of inheritance of them.

So far, their record is 9 wins and 7 losses, ranking fifth in the Eastern Conference and performs very well.

The Pelicans will definitely continue to win consecutive victories in this game, and for the Celtics, this is also a game they are going to strive for.

Not only is it because ending such a winning streak can greatly boost morale, but it is also because this is the first time Stevens led the team back to Boston.

At the beginning, Angie wanted to keep Stevens but not stayed, but stood at the moral high ground, saying that the team was trying their best to keep Stevens, and it was Stevens who ran away to take a shortcut, which made Stevens' image in Boston plummet.

Now that the Pelicans are making great progress, Angie will definitely want the team to pull the Pelicans off the horse.

Defeating a "traitor" is a very popular point.

The day before Thanksgiving, the Celtics conducted open training.

Team general manager Danny Angie also arrived at the training site.

Because of Stevens, this game has attracted much attention from the outside world.

Many reporters from major media came to the training site.

The team members were training, and Anji became the interviewee for the reporter.

"Do you think the team has a chance to win tonight?"

A reporter from espn asked a very common question.

“Why not?”

Anji seemed full of confidence as soon as he opened his mouth.

"They are teams that are good at defense, so are we, our offense is not very good, they are the same, we have the same chance."

Anji continued.

He is not a data madman like Morey, but he still knows some simple data.

The Pelicans played the league's number one defense during their 15-game winning streak, and averaged only 88.5 points per game, which is quite terrifying data under the new rules.

But their average score is only 96.8 points, which is a data that can only be ranked in the middle of the league.

This is related to what Stevens expected before the season, because the offense requires game to be run-in, and it will definitely not happen overnight.

But reality is this reality, and Anji is not wrong.

"This is the first time Stevens has returned to Boston, and the game is also Thanksgiving. Do you have anything to say to him?"

Naturally, the reporter asked Stevens about questions.

"Thanksgiving is really fun, he should thank Boston for giving him the opportunity to coach at the NBA."

Anji didn't say much, but it was very intriguing.

Thanksgiving is a festival in the United States that is second only to Christmas, and the legal time is Thursday, the fourth week of November.

On this day, Americans will each be grateful to the person they feel they need to be grateful to, some are grateful to their parents, and some are grateful to God...

You will be grateful to anyone you want, but Angie said that Stevens wants to be grateful to the Celtics, and the meaning here is really intriguing.

On the day of the game day, the Pelicans also conducted open training.

Stevens was interviewed by reporters on the sidelines.

The reporter told Stevens about the answers he asked Angie yesterday.

These reporters don’t make trouble, they have no topics to do anything, they think about making trouble every day.

But Stevens is still very humble and generous.

"Yes, I have to thank the city and the fans of this city, who helped my team very much at that time."

Stevens did not thank the Celtics, but instead thanked him in a different way.

However, the media does not pay attention to these details.

In pre-match news reports, Angie said Stevens should thank the Celtics for the opportunity, and the titles Stevens acknowledged were endless.

Before the game, the players were making the final preparations before the game, and Boyang was filled with indignation as he browsed the news.

Not only him, but the rest of the Pelicans were also a little unhappy.

Stevens is not an unknown person. He brought the weak Butler University into the NCAA final for two consecutive years and is an absolute famous coach.

Such famous coaches are very popular in the NBA. For example, the new coaches of the Bulls and Thunder this year, Hoiberg and Donovan are both famous coaches of the NCAA.

Including the most well-known old coach, he is chased by many NBA teams every year, but he is just unintentional.

In other words, Stevens reached the NCAA final for two consecutive years, so it was very good to come to the NBA market.

It was him who finally chose the Celtics, or at least the two-way choice with the Celtics.

As a result, it was when Angie's mouth that turned out to be the Celtics gave Stevens a chance!

This is really what I called Xiao Tiantian when I begged me, but now I call her Mrs. Niu when I separate?!

Anji's move to destroy bridges across the river and stands on the moral commanding heights as before is really infuriating.

“For the sake of coaching, we should give Bostonians a memorable Thanksgiving.”
