Chapter 127: 10 Victories Away from the All-Time Best!

On March 28, 1998, the Lakers faced the Jazz away.

If February belongs to the Lakers, then March so far belongs to the Utah Jazz!

Although in the trading market, the Jazz did not make a big spark like the bulls and magic. As the run-in tacit understanding of Malone, Richmond, and Stockton became more and more proficient, the Jazz went 11-1 throughout March and finally played a hegemon-level performance.

The Lakers have lost two games so far in March, one to the Spurs led by Ferdinand Duncan and the Admiral, and one to the SuperSonics.

The game lost to the SuperSonics was a cross-border back-to-back.

On March 15, the Lakers had just beaten the Grizzlies in Vancouver. The next day, they flew to Seattle to face the third Seattle in the West, and the whole team was mentally and physically tired to the extreme, plus Wenbeck scored 27 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks explosively. The Lakers lost to the SuperSonics 97-110 and suffered their sixth loss of the season.

Next, the Lakers are soaring.

First of all, at home, they beat the Suns 118-97. Then it's time to return to the home court to face the SuperSonics again.

This game! The Lakers let the league know what cruelty is!

129:76! Win by 53 points!

Bryant had 57 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists, 6 steals, 1 block and 4 turnovers on Payton's head. Two days ago, he boasted with great interest that he blocked Kobe Bryant and broke the Lakers' gloves, and after the game, he left the court without saying a word.

Kobe Bryant's 57 points allowed him to continue to lead in the scoring title war!

Bryant had 31.5 points, 5.8 rebounds, 8.3 assists, 3.6 steals, 0.9 blocks and 2.8 turnovers.

Jordan averaged 30.1 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1.8 steals, 0.6 blocks and 2.3 turnovers per game after Pippen's return.

There is one month left in the regular season! Not surprisingly, Kobe Bryant is about to break Michael Jordan's monopoly on scoring titles! When Michael Jordan became a full-fledged player, his position as the leading scorer had never been challenged.

In such an era of emphasizing confrontation and defense, only Michael Jordan can easily average 30+ per game!

If it weren't for his first retirement, he would have even won ten consecutive scoring titles!

At present, Michael Jordan holds 9 scoring titles, and if nothing else, the basketball god who has saved his strength to prepare for the playoffs, it looks like his tenth scoring title will be snatched away by Kobe.

Compared with the scoring champion, Kobe Bryant and the Lakers are more pursuing to break 72 wins!

After beating the SuperSonics, the Lakers' record came to 60-6. As the first team in the league to win 60 games, Dr. Bass led the Lakers players in a good celebration.

There are 16 games left!

As long as the Lakers can win 13 games, they can break the Bulls' record!

The Lakers' next schedule is not difficult, and the biggest opponent in March is the Galaxy Battleship Utah Jazz!

Before facing the Jazz, the Lakers once again easily defeated the Kings twice and the Nuggets once, climbing their record to 63-6!

73 wins away from the all-time best record! 10 wins away!

13 games and 10 wins!

For the Lakers, it's not that hard.

...

"Damn! I really don't want to see those Lakers guys get 70 wins! "Jealousy makes Malone unrecognizable! Last year's MVP, this year's data has not declined, and the team's record is better, but it is only ranked fifth in the current MVP list!

No. 1 Kobe, No. 2 Jordan, No. 3 O'Neal, No. 4 Hardaway, and fifth, it's Malone's turn! If there were no Lakers! Maybe Malone will be able to win the MVP second in a row!

And in January and March, the Jazz led the league in terms of record, and the current Jazz record of 59-11 is also second in the league!

A team that is second in the league, but this season has been very ordinary. It's not even as good as Bulls and Magic.

Stockton thought far ahead.

The playoffs are just around the corner, and the Lakers and Jazz are first and second in the West.

If they meet in the playoffs, it's the Western Conference Finals.

Can the Lakers make it to the Western Conference Finals? Stockton doesn't feel like any other team other than himself can hold off the Lakers. He certainly doesn't think the Jazz will fail to make it to the Western Conference Finals.

Then in this year's playoffs, the Lakers will definitely be encountered!

Then this game can be said to be a preview of the Western Conference Finals. Winning a side will have a very large psychological advantage.

It's not just as simple as sniping the Lakers! This game is about the Western Conference championship!

"Gotta win!" Richmond thought about the encounters at the All-Star Game, and although there were no public contradictions after the game, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Jazz and the Lakers did not deal with each other.

It's greasy!

What is the truth, no one leaked out. Everything was overshadowed by victory, but all that was left for the Jazz players was endless shame.

Richmond is a contract year!

After his stats were integrated into the Jazz pick-and-roll system, they were completely civilianized. At present, he is only a scoring guard who averages 18+5+3 per game, and such data is difficult for him to get the last big contract of his career.

If you win, then everything will be different. Richmond believes there will be countless teams such as the Magic, Bulls, Knicks, Celtics, and 76ers wielding money to retire in peace.

The race at the end of March was far more popular than everyone expected!

Traffic near the Great Western Forum Arena was almost paralyzed, and more than 10 television stations were squatting to cover the news.

Multiple TV stations rotated highlights of the two teams.

And Kobe Bryant came to the arena early.

"This is the biggest opponent before 73 wins." Harris's eyes were blazing as he watched the scrappy Lakers players.

"Coach, Sensei said. That's it! "Every Lakers player is so excited!

Win over the Jazz, and there are not many top teams left in the upcoming schedule! Most of them are teams like the Wizards, Raptors, Mavericks, and other teams that are on the verge of the playoffs or at the level of rebuilding.

There aren't even a few playoff teams, and the Lakers are currently hopeful of pushing their all-time best record to a point where no one has ever done it before!

The biggest obstacle is Jazz!

Winning this game is equivalent to winning the best record in history!

"The Jazz won't let us win easily, guys, cheer up!" Rambis pushed his glasses, a little excited, and he was just as ambitious. The season is not over yet, and Rambis, as the Lakers' number one assistant coach, has already received several invitations from the team's head coach!

This is Rambis' last year with the Lakers, and it's hard for a coach to turn down the opportunity to lead the team alone, and Rambis's biggest wish is to lead a team to play in MLS.

Before leaving, Rambis wants to leave no regrets!

Then use the best record of the regular season and the championship as the end of the Lakers' career!
