Chapter 125: Stopping a 15-game winning streak, the Lakers' future rivals?
"15 wins in a row! After the Lakers defeated the New York Knicks on March 1, they narrowly beat the Wizards 97-93 on March 2! ”
"The Lakers players, in back-to-back games on the road, were obviously a little tired. In the end, with Kobe Bryant's consecutive hits at the last moment, he rode the savior alone and won the game. ”
"Then they went back to their home court and on March 4, they faced the Pacers again."
"Three battles in 4 days! Each fight is a different arena! The Lakers players were tired from traveling, but they still defended their home court. ”
“95:104! This game was also anxious to the end, and the Lakers won 15 consecutive victories again! ”
"Entering March, the competitive form of the Lakers players has declined, perhaps because the game against the Timberwolves consumed too much character, and the shooting percentage of the Lakers' shooter group began to decline."
"You can't expect those role players to shoot more than 50 percent from three-point range."
"On March 6, the Lakers' fourth game in six days, against the San Antonio Spurs, who have the league's strongest twin towers, the Lakers finally lost and ushered in their fifth loss of the season."
"Not every game Kobe Bryant can save the world, Kobe Bryant, who has turned his hands into clouds and rain in two consecutive games, finally showed fatigue in this game, scored 9 points in a row at the last moment, and was still powerless."
"Spurs 97:93 Lakers. The San Antonio Spurs have rarely suppressed the Lakers' total to less than 100 points, and this season the Lakers have rarely scored 100 points. The Spurs were able to defend the Lakers to this extent, which no one could have predicted. ”
"The Admiral single-handedly defended O'Neal and allowed O'Neal to score 27 points and 11 rebounds on 10-of-19 shooting without relying on the bag. Although David Robinson, who focuses on defense, himself only has 13 points and 11 rebounds, he is still blown up, but at least he was not beaten by O'Neal in the defensive system and changed his defensive strategy. ”
"And the other core of the Spurs, Tim Duncan! This game was a shame, with 31 points, 14 rebounds, 7 assists, 5 blocks, 2 steals and 3 turnovers! ”
"It's too strong! It's a combination of Olajuwon and Bill Russell! Duncan showed his potential and talent to the fullest in this match, and he dominated the game both offensively and defensively, and he was the brightest player in the game. ”
"More and more teams are starting to pay attention to the holes in the Lakers' big forwards, and more and more teams are starting to focus on developing their big forwards, Webb, Garnett, Duncan, Kemp, Wenbeck... These emerging big forwards may lead a new era, a great pre-prosperity era? ”
...
"Fack, this kid, is improving a little bit of an exaggerated speed." O'Neal looked incredulous, he thought that this wave of winning streaks would have to run for more than 20 consecutive wins, and he never expected to be finally ended by the Spurs.
Losing to the Bulls, losing to the Magic or even losing to the Jazz Houston O'Neal wouldn't be too much of a surprise, but losing to the Spurs. Losing to Tim Duncan, who had been trained by himself and Kobe Bryant many times in the previous games, O'Neal was a little confused.
Kobe Bryant shook his head, on the one hand, this game was that the whole Lakers team was in poor condition because of the intensive schedule and continuous travel. On the other hand, it was lost to Duncan.
Duncan in this game completely played at the peak level.
Compared to Duncan at his peak, his physical fitness may be stronger! More jumping!
Kobe Bryant's several challenges to the penalty area were all guarded by Duncan, and in terms of the pressure of the penalty area, Duncan is not far from the peak stone Buddha.
The pinnacle stone Buddha is the patron saint of the Spurs penalty area! A pillar of optimus! Even Kobe Bryant didn't dare to storm the Spurs' restricted area at will!
Even the pinnacle emperor James who has a stronger breakthrough ability! In front of the old stone Buddha, there is no way to play absolute dominance!
The No. 1 striker in history is not so easy to deal with.
"Shaq, this kid will become our great enemy in the future." After Kobe Bryant finished speaking, O'Neal still looked incredulous.
Duncan has grown too fast, and it has already exceeded Bryant's expectations. If this development continues, maybe in this year's playoffs, we will see a pinnacle stone Buddha.
Maybe it's going to be an athletic version of the pinnacle stone Buddha..."It's coming to an end. Kobe Bryant hit today's training mission, 1,000 three-pointers, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
The American professional basketball team entered the middle of March, and the end of the regular season was only one month away.
"yes, the playoffs, it's not far away." Mullin and Bryant finished training together, and a glimmer of anticipation flashed in their eyes.
Robert Horry's eyes flashed with revenge, and those who won the championship had greater expectations for the championship!
O'Neill takes the ball into his arms with both hands.
"Guys, let's work together. Let a new championship flag be hoisted over our new arena. ”
...
The Lakers' winning streak came to a 15-game winning streak, and their record became 54-5.
Still leading the league by a large margin! Such a record, no matter what era it is placed in, will cause heated discussions!
Now, of course, is no exception.
There are 23 games left, and the Lakers only need to win 16 games to win 70 again!
"This Lakers team is going to be like the Bulls, winning back-to-back 70 wins!" The Lakers' form this season is visible to the naked eye, winning 16 of their 23 games, and it couldn't be easier for them.
If they can win 19 games, they will even surpass the Bulls' 72 wins!
"It's too exaggerated, what kind of era is this, I believe that ten years from now, many fans will call this era the age of mythology. With two teams that can win back-to-back 70 wins, and a large number of historic and championship-level teams, this is simply the pinnacle of basketball. ”
"In the era of basketball mythology, Michael Jordan has taken the lead in becoming a god, who is next? Who will be the king of the gods? ”
"Who can beat this Lakers this season? Will the Bulls beat another 70-win team to reach the top? ”
"The other teams in the West are just as great, and the Jazz, who are currently second in the game, are getting more and more comfortable with each other, winning back-to-back games, and their tactical fluidity has become more fluid as Richmond has become more functional."
"Will Karl Malone, the current No. 1 power forward, crush the Lakers' fragile power forward position in the playoffs?"
"The Spurs' Duncan defeated the Lakers to win this game, whether it is a reference. Will they be able to challenge the Lakers in the playoffs with this offensive and defensive system? ”
"Don't forget, Houston also has a bunch of veterans who play dead, and when they show their real form in the playoffs, all is not settled!"
