Chapter 762: Breakthrough, One Step Away
Will they break the Lakers' 33-game winning streak?
"Are the Hawks the strongest team in NBA history?"
"Michael Jordan VS Kraft Nguyen, who is the god of basketball?"
"So it's time for us to shout Celestial Daddy?"
"Roll to occupy the NBA, Bald Eagle is overwhelmed!"
……
Well, under the last eye-catching title, there is simply a cartoon that takes up most of the page.
In the comic, the panda holding the five-star red flag sits proudly on the body of the bald eagle, the national bird of the United States, the bald eagle is shaky, but it is holding a basketball in its paws.
The meaning of each is self-explanatory.
The people of the United States are not just envious, jealous and hateful, but completely panicked, does the record of the national league really have to have a foreigner, no, a yellow man of the Celestial Empire leading the team to refresh it?
But who can stand up and stop him?
The people of the United States rummaged through the alliance, but they couldn't find a suitable object to contain the people of the Celestial Empire.
Only the competition and data don't lie, in the entire league, which third-year student has achieved such unprecedented results as Ruan Erniu?
The most important thing is that this saga still has no end in sight, and I don't know how long it will last.
As the creator of the Lakers' 33-game winning streak, Jerry West, the league's logo man, also rarely stood up and said: "Don't care about some so-called false names, no matter how the Hawks can break through the 33-game winning streak in the end, it can't hinder their greatness, they are an unprecedented team that is ahead of its time."
Too many people always make a fuss about Kraft Nguyen's skin color and nationality, but forget what the essence of basketball is, which is a sport that determines victory or defeat on the court, and nothing outside the court can be used as a basis for evaluating teams or players.
Our progress is too slow, and our opponents are progressing too fast, and it can even be said that in some respects, we have regressed.
Instead of talking about whether the opponent is strong or not, let's find ways we can improve faster, at least work the basics of youth basketball.
Did Kraft Nguyen surpass Jordan?
I think, at least in terms of the ability to lead the team, the Celestial Empire is qualified to be compared with Jordan.
Of course, the premise is that he continues to win championships this season and complete the team's dynasty, although this goal does not seem to be a difficult problem for him. ”
The LOGO man has a status like Taishan Beidou in the basketball world of the United States, and even he did not stand on the side of the parent team, the Lakers, which immediately disappointed the Milanists.
However, it is still unknown whether West's words will be a capitulationist argument or a preparation for a poisonous grandmother to kill the Atlanta Hawks.
But the words of the Lakers star Kobe Bryant are particularly interesting:
"I don't really care about that, we only have one goal for the new season, which is to beat everyone in the playoffs and win the championship, and nothing else matters. ”
This is what Black Mamba said to the media, but a considerable number of Kohei expressed gloating, thinking that Kobe Bryant was cowardly, and he didn't even have the courage to say two cruel words to the Celestial Empire.
Actually, Kobe Bryant can't really be blamed for this, according to the schedule, the Hawks will not meet the Lakers in the next few regular season games.
In other words, even if Kobe and the Lakers want to stop Atlanta from making history, they are powerless.
Unless Stern dares to risk the world's condemnation and directly advance the second game of the regular season between the Lakers and the Hawks.
But in this way, not to mention whether the Lakers are sure to kill the Hawks, even if they really have to win, this will hurt the fairness of the NBA too much, and the league cannot afford such a loss.
What's more, things have developed to this point, and Stern is watching the rising ratings, and it is unknown whether he is willing to break the 33-win streak of the Hawks.
Then again, the NBA is a business league, and no one is at odds with money.
Breaking the 33-win streak is not a team for the Hawks at all, and the whole process is a huge hype opportunity for the league.
As a result, in addition to various media, NBA superstars have also become the attention of the prosperous era.
It is said that now the leaders or superstars of the two teams in the regular season have met, and they neither say hello nor "have you eaten?" but ask each other if they were asked by reporters on media day that "the Hawks can break the 33-game winning streak".
James, the future ruler of the Alliance, naturally did not escape this far-reaching question.
KING COMPLIMENTED, "AMAZING! WHAT ELSE CAN I SAY?"
James is full of helplessness for the praise of the Hawks, how much he hopes that he is the one on the cusp, but unfortunately, the league has long thrown aside the 23VS24 plan, and the radiant Ruan Erniu and the Atlanta Hawks have made all the flashy propaganda a laughing stock.
Fans will always worship the strong, and as long as the Eagles can win all the way, they will be the favorites, and for competitive sports, victory itself is justice.
As the protagonists of the topic, the Eagles and Erniu themselves were naturally questioned by various media.
When Erniu himself was asked about the winning streak, Manniu said in a confident and flat tone: "33 consecutive wins?
People who don't have strength pretend to be stupid B, and those who have strength pretend to be bullshit.
Lao Luo once said: "A strong life does not need to be explained!"
There are always people who are born different and destined to achieve a career, and this is the case with Erniu.
On the first day of March, the Hawks arrived in the Windy City of Chicago with the Hawks, and their opponent for a 31-game winning streak would be the Chicago Bulls.
Prior to this, Erniu also received the February Eastern POM Trophy from the league, which is the fourth consecutive time that the Celestial Empire has won the Player of the Month this season, and these four POMs are still awarded consecutively, without breaking in between.
Unknowingly, the Celestial Empire has created another unprecedented history in the NBA.
From the point of view of personal data, Erniu's average points per game in March declined significantly, but the assist data has improved a lot, but even so, the average points per game in a single month of 30+ is still the best in the league, coupled with the team's terrifying two-month winning record, Erniu, the eastern POM, can be said to be well-deserved, without the slightest moisture.
In stark contrast to Erniu, it is the Western POM - Carlos Boozer, the Jazz had a record of 8 wins and 3 losses in February, but Boozer's data is only 21.2+13.0+3.3 per game, which is completely different from Erniu's data.
Netizens have said that even if there is only one POM per month in the 09-10 season, the four-time winner must be CR88.
At the same time, the direction of the league's management is gradually becoming clearer, you know, Stern's willingness to give the honor of Erniu and Silian POM fully proves the attitude of the NBA top management at this time.
For the sake of interests, any racial discrimination and any Sino-US contradiction can actually be put aside for the time being.
It has been a period of time since the sea was watched, and there were constant small frictions, but it was not announced that it had completely broken up with the Celestial Empire.
Struggle in compromise and compromise in struggle will be the main theme of China and the United States for a long time to come.
The short elder of the Celestial Empire once said in a Shuzhong dialect: "Sino-US relations are not much better than good, and they are not much worse." ”
Due to historical reasons such as the Cold War, China and the United States have long been tied up in many fields, and there is no major historical turning point.
Well, that's a long way off, but for the NBA and for Erniu himself, this is a great opportunity to make history and create revenue. Not many fools will easily miss this feast for an illusory reason of boredom.
In the battle with the Bulls, the Hawks played bloodlessly, and the disparity of 126:92 was illustrated, and then looking at the number of free throws made by the two teams, 32:18, according to the convention, the away team was in front and the home team was behind.
Well, it's a bit of a misalignment.
Woodson smiled and patted his old partner, current Bulls head coach Larry Drew, on the shoulder after the game.
It's one thing for the Hawks to be better than the Bulls, but it's also true that the league is building momentum.
No matter what the era, people will expect miracles to happen.
Many people once thought that under the modern basketball system, it would be difficult to break the 33-game winning streak set by the Lakers who gathered Chamberlain, Jerry West, and Gal Goodrich.
But the reality is, the Atlanta Hawks are out!
At this point, even if the Hawks don't have an idea of their own, David Stern will lead the league hierarchy in developing a series of initiatives to help them climb higher mountains.
After the victory over the Bulls, Atlantans returned to their home court with a 31-game winning streak, and it has to be said that at this point in the history-making process, the schedule is extraordinarily forgiving to Atlantans.
They will next face two opponents they have beaten in four days, against the Philadelphia 76ers on March 3 and the Golden State Warriors on March 5.
The 76ers battled, and the Hawks continued to win without suspense, and Iverson returned to Philadelphia to find that he was still a hero for the team and the city, but his status was no longer the same.
Some people can't stand being small in their lives.
In the end, the AI missed the All-Star and games on the grounds that the youngest daughter was suffering from a strange illness and a high fever, and said that in order to take care of the daughter, the 76ers terminated the remaining contract of the 2010 season.
As for after this, a reporter found out that the answer was to buy drunk in a bar late at night, so he had to hehe.
The poor man, often with his hate, once swept the world with answers, in his own way to give his basketball career in the NBA an answer.
Right or Wrong?
That's the answer in the hearts of the fans.
The current disheartened 76ers are also heading for the high draft pick, and at 93-132, the Hawks completed the season double against Philadelphia.
Judging from the current state, the results of the remaining battles between the two teams may be difficult to change.
The Eagles have won 32 in a row, and this time, they are really one step away from winning 33 in a row!
Two days later, the Hawks continue to host the Golden State Warriors at home.
This is a matchup that is quite similar to the first meeting between the two sides in late February, and the return of Turiaf, Margeti and Reggie Williams, although objectively improving the strength of the Warriors, will essentially be a team that looks at the backcourt with two guns.
As a result, Curry continued to beat the team's boss Ellis and became the best Warriors player in the game, but in the strong dialogue, it was the seventh pick rookie who led the team and was more offensive efficient.
Defensively?
Two colander spoons and a half pound and eight taels, anyway, old Nelson doesn't care about these.
The Warriors fought until the final quarter, but the Hawks were better in the end, and the two of Erniu and Embarrassing Sen dominated the game again at critical moments, and after a battle, the Hawks won by 10 points at 122-132.
In this way, they won 33 consecutive games, tying the Lakers' longest winning streak in history.
The media in the United States is boiling again!
And they did!
Atlantans have finally made history!
When people talk about the longest winning streak in NBA history again, the Lakers won't be the best, and they're at least going to share that honor with the Hawks.
Moreover, this is only temporary, and it may not be long before the Hawks will have the opportunity to dominate this record on their own, become the owner of a new record, and make their own name in the history of basketball.
"We have no way out, this is a war! We have to calm down and go into the next battle! The game is not over, we will continue to win. ”
Just after the game, Woodson made the following words at a press conference.
The egghead of the second COY is no longer a bad team coach without a good name, he is a championship coach, he is the founder of the great Atlanta Hawks, and he is the record holder and holder of 73 wins in the season, the longest opening streak of the season and the longest winning streak of the season.
Next, he will lead his players to set a new record that has never been seen before, and walk on the road to glory that belongs to him and the team he belongs to.
The Eagles' official website also gives the clearest message, and the latest slogan of Atlantans is - to dream, to break through, to create!
The chicken soup is disgustingly strong, but it is really inspiring, regardless of whether it is poisonous or not, you can basically not eat people after drinking a bowl.
However, the Eagles' breakthrough path was not so simple, as their next opponent was not easy to deal with.
Because the Atlanta Hawks will not only have to play back-to-backs, but their opponents will be at home and the team is in sixth place in the East with a 30-32 record as of the last game, which is not an infighting team.
Even though the Eagles have won this opponent three times in a row this season, no one should take it lightly, and it is a must-win game for the defending champions.
On the evening of March 6, Miami time, at the American Airlines Center Arena in Miami, the Atlanta Hawks came to the home court of the Heat with a 33-game winning streak and a terrifying 60-1 record.
It was a night when there were a lot of people on and off the court, and all kinds of media flocked to it, and it may be a bit unqualified to talk about this game at a playoff level, which is simply a Finals-level battle.
D. Wade, as the leader of the Heat, looked at the reporters on the third floor and the outer three floors, and said with some surprise: "Am I back in the summer of '06?"
The last time there were so many people, D. Wade was still playing the Mavericks in the Finals.
For tonight's game, the cheeks didn't say much, and the league beauty said calmly: "This is an ordinary regular season, we will work hard for the playoffs qualification, as for the season being swept and the Hawks breaking the 33-game winning streak, it is not our primary concern, the game itself is the point." ”
That being said, the 33-game winning streak is a historical legend after all, and no reporter takes Saowei's words seriously, even if Wade says it lightly.
There are championships every year, and such a terrifying record may not be able to be equaled or even broken in the next 50 years, or even 100 years.
The players on both sides arrived at their respective locker rooms smoothly under the escort of security guards, and the superstar bodyguards of the Eagles were also escorted, and Gu Shengjian, Erniu's bodyguard, was directly loaded with bullets, ready to prevent accidents at any time.
Fortunately, everything went well, the players of both teams arrived at the game site smoothly, and 15 minutes before the start of the game, they submitted their starting lists.
There are no changes on the Hawks' side, and the starting lineup on the Heat's side is:
C Jermaine O'Neal
PF Michael Beasley
SF Quentin Richardson
SG Dwayne Wade
PG Carlos Arroyo
Add to that the bench Haslem, Mario Chalmers, Joel Anthony and Daquane Cook, and this is already the strongest team the Heat can muster.
A certain existence in the dark also seems to want to test the Eagles to see if they can become the unique existence.
With the whistle of the referee on duty, Joseph Joy Crawford, the bald Crawford, the game officially began.
Erniu lost to O'Neal Jr. in the jump ball session, and the ball was dialed into the hands of Quentin Richardson.
Big Q tossed the ball to Arroyo, and the Puerto Rican controlled the ball across half court.
In FIBA, Arroyo is an absolute All-Star-caliber player, but in the NBA, he's just an extremely average role player.
Just after halftime, Arroyo handed the ball to the team's leader, D. Wade, and the cheeks led the team's attack.
Wade forced a basket to cause a foul on the beater of the eclipse, and after hitting two free throws in a row, he scored the first point of the game.
The Hawks possessed the ball, Dragic controlled the ball over half court, suddenly accelerated on the wing, and without any pick-and-roll cover, he stepped past Arroyo and held the ball straight to the basket.
O'Neal Jr. immediately stepped up to help defend, and the claw machine took the opportunity to send a hidden second pass to the ground, and the ball went to the unguarded Erniu.
The people of the Celestial Dynasty rose from the ground comfortably, filling the basket with one arm, and also opened the record for the team.
Throughout the first quarter of the game, the Hawks played significantly more actively, and in the case that Erniu and Misery did not play at their full strength, Claw Machine, Salmons and others took on the team's offensive banner well.
As for the Heat, in addition to relying on D. Wade's strong offense, they did not have a more stable and efficient offensive method, but the cheeks shot average in the first quarter, only 2 of 7 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 6 points, 2 assists, and 1 rebound.
At 30:22, the away Atlantans ended the first quarter with an eight-point lead.
It's a battle destined to go down in history, and the Hawks need to keep the lead going, and in three quarters, they will have the best chance of owning the longest winning streak in NBA history.
