Chapter 103: Rockets and Jazz's winning streak

(About the record of the team in the book, the fisherman did not yy, some book friends said before, the Rockets won so many in a row, the Knicks won so much, and the sound record was so strong, is it not the fisherman in yy, how can it be so strong, and the actual situation is indeed like that, the Rockets' record in the first 23 games of this season is 22 wins and 1 loss, and the one loss is lost to the Hawks, the Rockets East road trip, after playing the Knicks, was defeated by the Hawks, the Rockets lost a little tragic in that game, and the sound, is the first 22 games won 2o games, These are NBA historical facts, the fisherman still respects the objective facts, although the schedule in the book has been adjusted, it may be different from reality, but the fisherman also said that the general trend of the season is that at the beginning of the season, the strong are extremely strong, and almost every team of the middle-level team has undergone major changes in the offseason and needs to be run-in, so these middle-level teams have almost no combat effectiveness at the beginning of the season. Whether it's the Rockets or the Knicks or the Sound Sun, they don't have anything to do with them, well, it's a fisherman to explain it a little)

On December 8, 1993, in the home team locker room of the Compaq Center, the home of the Houston Rockets, all the players of the No. 1 team in the West who had just finished playing the game with the Heat did not have the joy of winning the game on their faces, almost everyone was a little silent, and some players would even look at the door from time to time, as if waiting for some news.

As a rookie who joined the team this year, Sam Kassel is also a little nervous at this time, as a rookie, he can be appreciated by the team as soon as he enters the league, and this team is still a championship-level team, so it is definitely a very lucky thing for this rookie, so after the start of this season, Kassel is extremely hard and extremely nervous, because in such a team, unless he becomes the core of the team, no player can have a solid position, as long as it does not meet the needs of the team's victory, then he will be purged.

Such cruelty, although Kassel is a rookie, he is also very clear, so after coming to the team, he also has to work hard to give his all, because let him know that he can't be a player like Lin Han, although he has good strength, but he doesn't think that he can become the core of this team now, there is only one core of this team, that is, the big man sitting not far away, Olajuwon.

At this time, Olajuwon's face is sinking like water, so other people must also be sinking like water, which makes Kassel very envious and very longing, and he very much hopes that he can be like Olajuwon one day.

And what is Olajuwon waiting for at this time? As the current NBA No. 1 center, this season has just led the team to 17 consecutive wins, his numbers are also extremely good, the best of the week announced yesterday, he won the first weekly best of the season, the latest MVP rankings, he is also ranked first, it can be said that in this season, the Rockets can be said to be the first team to really show their ability to win the championship, and now the praise of Olajuwon by the major media in the United States can be said to be overwhelming, With such a full life, is there anything Olajuwon still dissatisfied?

Olajuwon is indeed a little dissatisfied right now, and this dissatisfaction comes from a player and a team that Kassel is extremely envious of just now, Linhan and Linhan's Utah Jazz.

If it weren't for Lin Han and Lin Han's Jazz team, the Houston Rockets and Olajuwon would indeed be satisfied with this status quo, and now with these two things, he really can't be satisfied.

And just when the Rockets were waiting for something, the team's head coach Tom Janovic walked in, and after whispering in Olajuwon's ear for a while, Olajuwon's originally silent expression became even more silent, and even Thorpe, who was sitting next to Olajuwon, couldn't help but shake his head in disappointment.

After seeing this scene, the other Rocket players naturally knew what was going on, very simply, that Lin Han won with the Jazz again!

I don't know when it began, it has become a norm for the Houston Rockets to pay attention to the results of the Utah Jazz and care about Lin Han's court schedule, it can be said that since the league has won all the teams left with only the Jazz and the Rockets, this Jazz is like a thorn in the back of the Rockets, making this season table Xiàn extremely good, so good that I can't imagine that the team doesn't like it very much.

Yes, the Rockets now dislike the Jazz very much, not only the current competition between the two teams, but more importantly, their boss Olajuwon dislikes the Chinese very much and robs them of the best young rookie of the month.

can make the antagonism between Olajuwon and Lin Han created by the media some time ago xù make the entire Rockets almost regard Lin Han directly as an enemy, in this case, when such an enemy team can always pester you, you can't like it at all, and you can't relax.

Any team will have slackening after winning 17 games in a row, which is inevitable, NBA players are strong, but they are not machines, since they are not machines, then there are times when they are lax, and there are times when the situation is not good, so it is difficult for NBA teams to win more than 15 consecutive games, even if the strength is strong, they will miss the front foot.

Moreover, these winning streaks may not necessarily want to win all the time, in the NBA, it is naturally a good thing to be able to win, no one does not like to win and like to lose, but victory also needs to look at the time.

The Rockets' form this season came out too early, which surprised them, but the state appeared early, and if it is not regulated, then the future will be very worrying, so if the Jazz had not been following them this year, the Rockets would have started to adjust a few games ago.

And now? Because of the Jazz's survival, the Rockets must grit their teeth and insist, and the players must insist on resisting and losing earlier than the Jazz, and this is also Olajuwon's own request, he does not allow his team to lose to Linhan's team in this area.

And this is also the reason why the Rockets players are also depressed after they win, no one wants their nerves to be tense all the time, not to mention that this is still the beginning of the season, not the playoffs, although the Jazz on the other side is similar, but the atmosphere of the Jazz is completely different, the reason why the Jazz winning streak has nothing to do with the state of their team, in fact, the state of Malone, the Jazz player, has not been very good since the beginning of the season, The reason why the Jazz, who were considered mediocre at the beginning of the season, can bite the rocket now is because Lin Han really created a miracle, and he was saved by him in many games that he was going to lose.

At this point, the Rockets don't have such players, they naturally suffer, of course, the Rockets don't know this, they only know that Lin Han and Jazz are on the same page with them, so they can't lose.

"That rookie is really good, and the Jazz's opponent in this game is playing away from home, the strength is too poor, maybe the next game will be good, the Jazz have been away from home for so long to challenge the Nuggets, this is a bad game, however, our next opponent Hawks is not easy to play, this team has been very good recently, Dominic Wilkins also wants to prove himself this season"

Seeing that the leading players of his team were depressed, Rocket coach Tomjanovic also said comfortingly, and at this time, Olajuwon also nodded and seemed to agree.

And in fact, as the Rockets and Tomjanovic imagined, they played the Hawks above December 1o, this game is very difficult to play, this game with the Hawks Dominic Wilkins is full of impact, and the Rockets and Jazz are also the first time to start away after a long home battle, a little uncomfortable, the whole game The Hawks under the leadership of Dominic Wilkins stunned to let the Rockets pay the price of 3o fouls and 39 free throws, If it weren't for Olajuwon and Maxwell who almost came up with a desperate playoff stance, the two Rockets players scored a total of 65 points in this game to beat the Hawks 128-124, and the Rockets' defeat in this game would have been achieved.

I have to say that after more than a month of regular season, many strong teams that need to be run in at the beginning of the season have slowly increased, and the Hawks are one of them.

It's just that the Rockets are very speechless is that they beat the Hawks with their milk on the road, and the Jazz also won, although the Jazz played the Nuggets away and encountered the same problems as the Rockets, but anyway, the Jazz still won 111-1o5, that is, both teams are all 18 consecutive wins, still tied for the first place, and the Rockets still did not get rid of the Jazz.

Of course, at this time, the Rockets and Jazz are together, and no one wants to lose first, but the competition between these two teams definitely shocked the entire league.

You know, when the Jazz and Rockets both won 18 in a row, the two teams have tied the record of 18 consecutive wins for the Knicks in the 69-7o season and the Celtics in the 81-82 season, tied for the third consecutive win record in the league, and the first two are the Bucks with a 2O winning streak, when Abdul-Jabbar led the team to a Zào and the strongest 33 consecutive wins in history in the 7O-71 season, and the Lakers led by Zhang Dashuai and Jerry West to record a 71-72 consecutive win.

"I don't know at all right now when these two teams are going to stop their madness, and it looks like these two teams are invincible, and that's one of the most interesting sights in NBA history"

"It's not wise for them to spend too much energy at the start of the season"

"The regular season MVP battle is now underway, led by Olajuwon, Malone and Lin Han"

"Half a week later, only one team can laugh and say that in the end, the winner will be second all-time over the Bucks!"

For the NBA, because of Jordan's departure, everyone is worried about whether the NBA's attractiveness will be reduced, but since Lin Han entered the league, the NBA has not seen a decline in attractiveness, and almost every once in a while there will be a big news related to Lin Han, and at this time, almost all the media in the United States have focused on the winning streak competition between the Rockets and the Jazz.

And when such a competition started, in fact, the Jazz and Lin Han themselves were actually a little confused, because they didn't expect things to turn out like this, in fact, Jazz head coach Jerry Sloan didn't think that his team hadn't lost yet, and they didn't think about what to fight with the Rockets.

It's just that when they naturally came to 18 consecutive wins, after being reminded by this group of media, they realized that they were about to set a zào record.

"John, we're not ripe yet? I don't feel it at all? Is this true? Are we really on an 18-game winning streak?"

Therefore, when the media hyped up the matter the next day when the Jazz defeated the Nuggets and the Rockets defeated the Hawks on December 11, in the hotel where the Jazz stayed, Malone, the team leader, was confused, and Lin Han and Stockton were not much better.

"Well, anyway, it's a good thing, doesn't the news say that as long as we beat the Rockets away on December 15, we will be able to set a record of 21 consecutive wins? It's not that far off."

In the end, as the leader of the team, Stockton also said after thinking for a while, to be honest, he is also a little unbelievable now, his team has won 18 games in a row, he doesn't feel it, but compared with the heartless Malone, the team's brain knows very well what the reason for this kind of thing is.

So after saying that, the Jazz point guard looked at Lin Han, who was hiding there on the bed with a book he didn't understand, which was said to be called a martial arts novel, and this kid was the biggest reason for the team's change this season.

It's just that for Lin Han, who doesn't pay attention to the team meeting at all, Stockton also hates it at this time, this kid is still so unreasonable, and he will have to 'teach' in the future.

Of course, the Jazz, who are on an away trip at this time, are ready to chase the second consecutive win in history under the leadership of Stockton, why not the first consecutive win in history? Jokes, a fool will stare at the 33-game winning streak, unless Lin Han is really Jordan, then Marlon and Stockton Galinham may be able to break the record of the Lakers that year, but obviously, is Lin Han Jordan? Of course not.

In this case, immediately after the back-to-back games on December 11th, the Jazz once again defeated the league's bottom-to-bottom team Timberwolves, and the final score was 1o4-94, this game Timberwolves are quite tenacious, especially the rookie of this team, one of the four small swing people Ryder and Lin Han met, the two played another mutual explosion, Ryder brushed 36 points, Lin Han scored 27 points, this back-to-back game Lin Han did not have enough physical fitness, the last game with the Nuggets, Jazz and Lin Han were both pitted by the Nuggets very badly, the center named Mutombo This game is simply godly, this young team is a nerve knife, no one knows what will happen when they play, if it weren't for the Jazz who are also desperate, the Jazz lost the last game.

But anyway, after winning the Timberwolves in the second game of this road trip, the Jazz's winning streak came to 19 games, and then, the Rockets, who also traveled in the East, defeated the New York Knicks 94-85 one day after the Jazz victory, this civil war between the three centers, in the face of Ewing who came back in a hurry, Olajuwon, who was suffocated by Lin Han and Jazz, scored 37 points, 13 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 blocks and 4 steals in this game, and almost completed the 5x5 countAs for his opponent, Ewing, one of the three major centers, was 4 of 2o in this game, scoring 12 points and 8 rebounds, it can be seen that Ewing, the center who aims to be the MVP in the league this season, is really miserable by Lin Han, and this direct dialogue with Olajuwon lost so badly that he almost ruined all his hopes of competing for the regular season MVP.

After defeating the Knicks, the Rockets also came to a 19-game winning streak, and the two teams of the Jazz and the Rockets once again stood on the same starting line.
