Why is a team that is not expected to win a victory called a dark horse?

I never thought the All-Star Game would have a controversial outcome. Gordon gave us a perfect dunk performance. He conquered the hearts of his fans, but not the respect of the judges. While we feel sorry for Gordon, how many fans have paid attention to Gordon and seen his performance on the court? Maybe Gordon won't participate in the slam dunk contest, which is a shame, but it will also be a motivation. That's not all of his career. We shouldn't just think of Gordon in the dunk contest. He fully demonstrated his talents through dunks. We've seen what Gordon is capable of. He needs to prove himself on a higher stage. His flight altitude will eventually be limited, but his direction will not be endless. As long as Gordon continues to work hard, he will definitely achieve more amazing results.

In-depth analysis: There are three reasons why the Magic have become dark horses. The reasons for their unsatisfactory performance are summarized as All-Stars, No. 1 pick, and Best Rookie. This is the Magic. Although they do not have the league's top superstars, they have a certain depth of lineup and have gathered a group of strong players, many of whom we are familiar with. Before the season started, I had them as dark horses. The Magic are currently 24 wins and 31 losses, ranking eighth in the Eastern Conference, one game less than the Nets, who are seventh. Halfway through the game, the Magic's performance could only be said to be satisfactory, without any dazzling performance. Currently ranked eighth in the Eastern Conference, there is a big gap between the teams before and after it. There won’t be any major fluctuations in the ranking, which will be similar to last season’s ranking. However, I don't think the Magic's performance was the best, and they still have a lot of room for improvement. I look forward to how this team performs in the playoffs. Let me tell you next, I am optimistic about magic. Someone asked me if I would lose to the Czech Republic, and I had to say it was impossible. After a hard fight, the Brazilian team was defeated by the Czech team 71:93. Although Brazilian coach Petrovic was calm, his disappointment could not be concealed.

Even, they did not expect to meet the Czech team, because Group E includes the Czech Republic, as well as the powerful United States and Turkey, making qualifying very difficult. But the fact is that the Czech team defeated the Brazilian team, which ranked first in Group F, and it seems that it is not impossible to enter the quarterfinals. How did the Czech team become the biggest dark horse so far? Surprises are eternal. This is the first time in history that the Czech team has qualified for the Men's Basketball World Cup. The staff of this Czech team is very neat, not too old and not too young. They are basically the same group of players and are very familiar with each other, so they play well with each other.

But in Europe, where there are many talented players, they are not optimistic due to their relatively low qualifications. But when they lost to the United States in the first game, they only scored 67 points, which cast doubt on the Czech team's prospects. Unexpectedly, the Czech team performed well in the game against Turkey, completely controlling their opponents, and finally won 91:76. "Winning this game was a huge boost to our confidence, so before the game, the players said we had a chance to win the game, and we really did it," said Satoransky, the Czech team's top star. The Czech team showed good form from the beginning, and their height advantage was reflected, while the Brazilian team was clearly out of form. The Czech team led by 22 points at 45:23 in the first half and led by up to 29 points.
