The dark horse in the NBA, what does it mean to be upset

A dark horse is a horse that is not favored on the racetrack, but can make the vast majority of people fall through the glasses and become an unexpected winner in a race. In the 19th century, the British politician Jereth Deasles described a wonderful horse racing scene in "The Young Duke". At the start of the race, the two most popular horses led the way, and the crowd cheered when one of them was in control.

Unexpectedly, when approaching the finish line, an inconspicuous black horse suddenly chased after him from behind, leaving the two good breed horses behind at a gallop, and reached the finish line ahead of the race, winning the championship. Since then, the word "dark horse" has spread far and wide, from the slang on the racetrack to the usual language in the sports world, from time to time in the news reports——— when a fledgling athlete or sports team has achieved good results and won the championship, the news after the race will be praised as "the appearance of dark horses". Gradually, the term dark horse has expanded to cover other areas.

In 1861, when Lincoln, who was originally not well-known, was elected as the 16th ** of the United States, some people also called him a "dark horse"**. The annotation of "dark horse" in the Modern Chinese Dictionary is: "a metaphor for a competitor with unpredictable strength or a surprise winner".

The NBA regular season has entered the end of November, and in less than two months after the start of the game, the strong teams that are optimistic about the outside world have collapsed and sunk into the sand, and there are many problems, but some despised teams have stood up strongly and attacked the rankings as dark horses.

As far as the West is concerned, last season's playoff teams, led by the Rockets, along with the Spurs, Jazz, and Timberwolves, have fallen out of the top eight.

Let's take a look at the worst Timberwolves, who were the playoff team last season, with All-Star Butler and two top picks - Towns and Wiggins. Not to mention going further than last season, at least it is not difficult to maintain the original position. As a result, after the start of the game, there was no tacit understanding between the players, as if they would not play overnight.

The offensive end is disorganized and tactically devoid of tactics; Defensively, sorry, there's no such thing as a defensive end. There were even more contradictions within the team, and the team finally made a call to trade Butler away. The Timberwolves also jumped from a playoff team to the second-to-last team in the West.

They are followed by the Rockets, who have been in a state of confusion since the start of the season. The attack that was proud of last season suddenly disappeared, and then the whole team turned into a strong man in the blacksmith shop, crazy iron, and went farther and farther on the road of iron, and there was a scene of no return. Paul's state is also speechless, scoring single digits in several consecutive games, which makes people wonder how serious his form has declined.

Needless to say, Anthony's cancer is not far away. The Rockets have played a few balls, which has the meaning of bulk cargo. At this time, Yu Xing's coaching staff made a decisive move and hid Anthony.

It's strange that the Rockets have been playing better and better since Anthony got down, and now they are ranked ninth. However, the form has also returned, with a wave of four consecutive wins, announcing that the Rockets from last season have returned, and it is believed that it is only a matter of time before they reach the quarterfinals. However, the Rockets who started the season lost all the way, which is still a big surprise.

The Spurs are still old after all, and before the start of the season, people were still expecting DeRozan to lead the Spurs to the bottom**. Bottoming out**, it turns out that DeRozan and Leonard are still a few notches behind. This season's Spurs look unacceptable, and the Spurs, who used to advocate teamwork, have to play superstar basketball.

The Spurs can still bite the rankings now, and if they don't continue to fall, they all rely on Aldridge and DeRozan to support them, and one day, when these two are tired, the Spurs will also sink completely.
