The Pelicans have won 11 in a row, and their record has come to a terrifying 36-1!

When the time entered mid-January, people found out for the first time that the Pelicans' momentum had the hope of hitting the best record in the history of the regular season!

The best regular season record in NBA history is 72-10, which was set by the Bulls in the 1995~1996 season.

At that time, Jordan was still in hot form after returning two years after retirement, Pippen also grew into a superstar, and with Rodman, the Bulls were almost invincible at the time.

That Bulls didn't play the fans and knew they were strong.

But the Pelicans' current performance, like ESPN's prediction that ranked it first and was complained about by fans, is absolutely unexpected, and even completely unexpected.

Kerr's 67 wins in his first season as coach last year was impressive enough, but the first season of Stevens' Pelicans career was shocking enough!

The Pelicans continue to soar.

Against the Jazz on January 17, the Jazz played tenaciously and stalemate with the Pelicans until the fourth quarter, and Tang Tian and Davis joined forces to end the game.

Tang Tian scored 27 points, 5 rebounds and 9 assists, and Davis scored 24 points, 12 rebounds and 3 blocks.

Against the Clippers on January 20, the Clippers were in hot form and played with the Pelicans until the last minute.

Louis Williams scored 30 points in the game, including a three-pointer that sent the game into overtime in the final minute.

But in overtime, Tang Tian scored 10 points to dominate the game, and the Pelicans finally won.

Tang Tian cut the first 30+ after his comeback, with 35 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, and Bojan scored 20 points with 5 three-pointers.

While the Pelicans won 13 in a row, their record further expanded to 38-1!

With this outstanding performance, the Pelicans beat the 34-5 Warriors and continue to hold the top spot in the league.

Tang Tian also continued to suppress Curry at the top of the MVP list.

And on this day, the league announced the results of the 2016 Toronto All-Star Game.

Tang Tian got 3.22 million votes, not only completed the three-in-a-row All-Star vote king, but also broke the record of 3.15 million set by Howard in 2009 and became the owner of a new record for the number of votes of the NBA vote king!

The Pelicans played an unbelievable performance, and Tang Tian's popularity in the United States and at home reached a peak, and it was not surprising that he received such a number of votes.

The second most voted man was Kobe Bryant, who received 2 million votes in the final season of his career.

Curry came in third with 1.9 million votes.

The trio became the starting backcourt and small forward in the West.

The two remaining starting spots in the West are Leonard (800,000) and Durant (1 million).

In the East, James got 1.2 million votes to become the Eastern vote king.

The remaining four starters are Lowry (650,000), Wade (950,000), Anthony (850,000) and George (700,000).

Tang Tian broke the All-Star voting record, which was a huge boost to the Pelicans' morale.

Especially since they are about to meet the Warriors for the second time of the season.

The game was played at Oracle Arena, and the Pelicans traveled to Oakland a day early and had an open practice session the next morning.

The morale of the players was high, and the atmosphere was high in both training and the dressing room.

Tang Tian had just finished an interview with reporters on the sidelines, and when he returned to the locker room from the training ground, he found Stevens and Williams communicating.

Williams' expression looked anxious.

When he walked over, the exchange between the two had already ended, and Williams saw Tang Tian, said hello, and left in a hurry.

Tang Tian was puzzled, the game started on the night, and Williams left the arena in such a hurry.

"Monty's wife was in a car accident and is in critical condition, and he needs to rush back to New Orleans."

Stevens said with a sigh.

Tang Tian was stunned when he heard this, and remembered something.

In his last life, Williams' wife also died in a car accident this year.

Because of this, the NBA league also presented Williams with an honor called the SEG Strong Award in 2018 in recognition of Williams' perseverance in working and raising four children despite his misfortune.

I didn't expect history to repeat itself, just like Holiday wife's brain cancer.

But this is also a reasonable thing, Tang Tian's crossing affects the part that has something to do with him, and it will naturally happen if it has nothing to do with him.

And this thing is not the same as Holiday wife, you can warn of diseases, but accidents are unavoidable.

Just like the series of Grim Reaper, the accidents that are avoided will always continue to happen in other ways.

What Tang Tian can do now is to pray like Stevens that Williams' wife is okay.

After communicating with Tang Tian, Stevens also went to the locker room to announce the matter.

While that would have worried the players, Williams was unjustified as the first assistant coach missing the game for no reason.

Williams coached the Pelicans for three seasons, and key players like Davis, Holiday and Tang Tian all played under him for two seasons.

And Williams is good at interpersonal communication, even the team newcomers such as Bojan and Harris have a good relationship with him.

It can be said that the whole team was worried and apprehensive after hearing the news.

'Guys, we need to win the game, that's the only thing we can do.'

Stevens sensed the mentality of the players and opened his mouth to encourage morale.

The players nodded one after another, but judging from the response, they were still worried.

That concern eventually manifested itself on the court, with the Pelicans' overall performance tonight out of shape.

Even Tang Tian and Davis have ups and downs in their performance because of their emotional influence.

In the end, the Pelicans lost the game 106-116 and swallowed their second loss of the season.

However, winning or losing the game is no longer the focus of the Pelicans at this time, and they did not hold a press conference after the game.

They flew back to New Orleans overnight to visit Williams' wife in the hospital.

Williams sat outside the operating room, looking haggard, with four children sitting beside him, all of whom were somewhat injured.

At this time, it had been more than three hours since the car accident, but the red light on the other side of the operating room was still on.

Stevens went over and patted him on the shoulder, and Tang Tian and his teammates also came to him one after another to comfort him.

But Williams looked at the operating room in a trance, he had been worried about his wife.

From the exchange, it was learned that Williams' wife was hit by a vehicle driving in the wrong direction.

A large amount of methamphetamine was detected in the other party's body, which is suspected of drug driving.

And when overtaking in the wrong direction, the other party was comforting the puppy on his lap, which eventually led to the car accident.

However, it is useless to blame at this time, because the driver and the puppy who are driving in the wrong way have died on the spot.

Williams' four children were all in the car at the time and were fortunately fine, but his wife was seriously injured.

ps: I watched the movie "Green Book" today, it's very good, it's worth recommending.
