An NBA team suffered a 17-game losing streak, setting a god-level record of 20 consecutive defeats.
The NBA has set a magical record: 17 losses and 20 losses at the same time!For a strong team, a winning streak is their ticket, and defeat is their tombstone. This season's NBA can be described as a group of dragons, and the luck of each team is constantly changing. The teams that have won back-to-back games in history include Minnesota, Mavericks, Thunder, Celtics, Magic, Bucks, 76ers, etc., while the Grizzlies, Trail Blazers, Jazz, Warriors, Bulls, Hornets, Wizards, etc., have all experienced long-term defeats. Now, one team from the east and the west has been dragged into the mire of the longest losing streak in history. Below, let's uncover the true colors of these two teams.
Looking at the West first, the longest game was not lost to the incapable Grizzlies, nor was it a team determined to win this game, their head coach was the San Antonio Spurs, and their head coach was the NBA's most expensive and oldest head coach, Popovich. With the retirement of GDP, the Spurs' style is still the same, but expectations for them are getting lower and lower. Popovich is now the Spurs' "number one" and it is expected that he will be able to find a suitable heir to achieve his glorious retirement. Before the end of the season, the Spurs signed the talented Wembanyama with the No. 1 seed, and Popovich was awarded the NBA's biggest head coach contract in history, putting the Holy City back in the spotlight. However, Wembanyama doesn't have a strong enough player, and his squad is weak enough to change Spurs' decline. The Spurs have lost 17 games in a row against the Rockets, with their last win coming on November 3 next year, beating the Phoenix Suns 132-121 on the road. This means that it has been more than 40 days without a win. During this period, the Raptors, Pacers, Knicks, Minnesota, Heat, Thunder, Kings, Grizzlies, Clippers, Warriors, Nuggets, Hawks, Pelicans, Bulls, and Rockets are all frantically "scoring" the Spurs. Statistically, 17 defeats is the longest in Spurs history. The remaining six games are: Lakers (2 games), Pelicans, Bucks, Bulls and Mavericks. May Popovich and Wembanyama go all the way!
In the East, the Detroit Pistons are faring much worse compared to the San Antonio Spurs. The Pistons, on the other hand, are in a much worse situation, such as the No. 1 this year (No. 1 in the 2021 season) and a well-paid coach (Monty, $78.5 million a year), while the Pistons are much worse. The Pistons have been a terrible team for the past few years, and they have a lot of teams like Cunningham, but now their performance is worrying. The Pistons' boss spent a lot of money to poach Monty in order to bring him back after he had been preparing to retire for several years. However, the dream is beautiful, the reality is cruel. Since the Oct. 31 home defeat to the Thunder, the Pistons have faced the Trail Blazers, Pelicans, Suns, Bucks, 76ers, Bulls, Hawks, Raptors, Nuggets, Pacers, Lakers, Knicks, Cavaliers, Grizzlies, Magic, Pacers, and they have lost 20 games in a row. Statistically, 20 losses are the longest season in Pistons history. You know, even without a single season, the longest failure in Pistons history was only the 1979-1980-81 season. These six games are the 76ers, the Bucks, the Hawks, the Jazz, and the Nets, which is the consistent style of the 76ers, and they will continue their unbeaten streak, perhaps creating a history of two consecutive seasons of undefeated. Both Monty and Cunningham are going to pray!
At this time, the Spurs have lost 20 of their 17 games to the Pistons, the first time in NBA history that two teams have lost in more than 17 games in a row. Neither Popovich nor Monty had anything to do, and the only thing they could do was get the best coach salary on the team. Despite the longest defeat in the team's history, Popovich turned to Monty for advice. Popovich tried a variety of tactics during the Spurs' losing streak, such as Sochan, and Bobo gave him a playmaker and bench, with the ultimate goal of training Wembanyama into a long-term player. In contrast, Monty is a taboo for some coaches when dealing with the Pistons. Especially for Ivey's exploitation, Ivey has been confirmed in his first season, but Monty put Ivey on the bench and did not communicate, which greatly weakened Ivey's strength and morale. Ivey averaged 11 per game5 points, 27 plates, 2With 7 assists, he has dropped a lot in all three areas compared to the newcomer. Monty needs to learn something from Popovich and make some changes if necessary. Without a better solution to the players' locker room conflicts, the Pistons will fall into an even bigger failure!What do you think, dear fans?You can express your views here.
