25 consecutive defeats set a record of shame! It's not that you can't lose, and don't lose like that

There is no suspense, in the last game a year ago, Nanjing Tongxi lost 109-129 to Liaoning. Due to the disparity in strength between the two sides, which are currently at the top and bottom of the table, and it is played in the afternoon, this game will not have attracted much attention.

However, such an ordinary regular season game has given birth to a record in the 26-year history of the CBA - after losing this game, Tongxi suffered 25 consecutive defeats, refreshing the longest losing streak in the history of the CBA, but such a record is not glorious.

The original holder of this record was the 24 games in a single season created by the former Shenzhen Yikang in the 01-02 season. In the relegation play-offs that followed, they lost all six games. After that season, Shenzhen Yikang directly disbanded and completely disappeared from the Chinese basketball scene. It was such a record that had been sealed for 20 years and was broken today. In this game, Liaoning did not exert full strength, and the four main rotations of Han Dejun, Guo Allen, Zhang Zhenlin and Li Xiaoxu did not play due to injury. But even so, the weak Tongxi is still not an opponent. At one point in the first quarter, he was led by 15 points by his opponent, and the rest of the game was just a passing field. After playing 28 games in the first two stages, Tongxi only won one victory against Ningbo in the third round. I never tasted victory again. It's been three months since they last won. They have lost more than 20 points per game to their opponents this season.

In fact, the Tongxi men's basketball team is not like this from this season. Since entering the CBA, they have played the role of a weak brigade. Except for the Ningbo men's basketball team, which only started playing in the CBA this season, they are the only team in the CBA that has not made the playoffs. Everyone knows that every team has a growth cycle, and it is normal for the results to fluctuate, even if it is a traditional strong team like Liaoning and Beijing, it is also a time when the green and yellow are not picked up, and the results have plummeted. Liaoning played in the relegation play-offs, and when Beijing and Shanghai were at their worst, no one came to see the ball for 2 yuan a ticket at the entrance of the gymnasium. But since entering the CBA, the results are so stable and poor, Tongxi is really unique. Beikong (formerly Chongqing men's basketball team), which entered the CBA at the same time as them, has reached the playoffs many times.

I also don't want to say anything that has fallen into the ground and put the blame on anyone. After all, as a shareholder, Tongxi himself knows what impact this will have on the CBA League. And according to the current structure of the CBA league, it is not realistic to resume promotion and relegation.

After the end of the first phase, Tongxi Group issued a red-headed document to hold the club accountable for its poor performance. This is unique in the history of the CBA, with head coach Besilovic stepping down as a scapegoat. But when the second stage came back, they still had a hard time winning. Turning over the coaching resume, firefighting coach Liu Tie has not had any dazzling achievements.

We often say that victory or defeat is a matter of soldiers. It is true that competitive sports are not impossible to lose, but it is really a bit unspeakable to keep losing like this.
