22 consecutive wins, ranking second in NBA history, second only to the 33 consecutive wins set by the Lakers in the 1971~1972 season!

And the greater significance of this streak is that the Rockets' record before the All-Star break was 44-11, and after a wave of consecutive wins, their record has soared to 65-11!

With the last six games left in the regular season, if they can continue to win them all, then their record will reach 71-11, directly breaking the regular season record set by the Bulls during the Jordan era!

The regular season is coming to an end, and it stands to reason that all teams have reached a time period of rest and recuperation, but because of the Rockets' winning streak, the Rockets' opponents are doing their best.

And the Rockets, after 22 consecutive wins, ushered in the saddest hurdle, the Boston Celtics.

The Celtics snapped a six-game winning streak against the Rockets at the start of the season, and this time they were the biggest obstacle to the Rockets' history.

Tang Tian was also a little speechless when he looked at this table.

In the previous life, also this season, the Rockets also won 22 consecutive games, and they were also ended by the Celtics at that time.

This is the enmity of the next world!

And what is a little different from the previous life is that the trend of the Celtics this season is not the same as the previous life.

Because of the addition of Batum, Rivers has correspondingly reduced the playing time of the Big Three, and as a result, Garnett did not suffer a devastating injury like in his previous life, and the Celtics currently have a 58-15 record, second in the East behind the Cavaliers' 59-15 and third in the league.

Such an opponent is far more difficult than the one in the previous life.

And this game is likely to be an early rehearsal for the finals, and no one will give up easily.

Sure enough, on the night of the game, both sides were the main force to the fullest.

On the Rockets' side, Billups and Maddy on the outside, Battier on the outside, and Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming on the inside.

On the Celtics side, Rondogare Allen on the outside, Pierce on the outside, Batum Garnett on the inside.

The Toyota Center that night was also crowded and full.

No one would miss such a historic evening.

"Ding! Post System Mission: Win 23 in a row, reward: 1 honor point. ”

It was also on such a night that Tang Tian's mind was shaken by a strange and familiar voice.

The system has finally woken up.

Although, as always, picking.

Now that the system has sent out the task, Tang Tian has to go all out.

The game started quickly, and the two teams had completely run in both the tacit understanding and the tactical system before their teammates, and the game was quite anxious.

Halfway through the first quarter, the two sides were tied 12-12.

Tang Tian called a timeout at this time.

"Da Yao continues to pull space in the high position, and it is easy to sink to the low position to prepare to eat Batum alone." Tang Tian directly picked up the tactical board and said while drawing.

After the pause, the Rockets' offense, Billups advanced to the front court with the ball, and after Yi Jianlian fell low, he directly handed the ball in.

The rest of the Rockets followed and opened the space.

There was a commotion at the scene, and this was the first time they had seen Team Rocket play like this.

Although Yi Jianlian played very well after the start, he was all without the ball, and this was the first time he played with the ball on his back.

Is this Tang Tian cultivating another Millsap?

Yi Jianlian holds the ball with his back to Batum.

Tang Tian also set his sights on the front court.

Training, he must have been cultivated, and he has many skills that are not pressing, which is always true, and after the team signed Second Uncle Huo, the latter also became the one-on-one coach of Yi Jianlian's back body technology.

It's just that, after all, it's not a long time, and it's impossible to reach the level of Millsap before.

How it is is depends on the play.

After continuous hard chisels, Yi Jianlian failed to push Batum to the basket.

Batum plays the No. 4 position in the Celtics, and his training direction is different from his previous life, and he has gained 100 kilograms just by weight, which allows him to retain excellent defensive ability and not look so vulnerable in the low post.

Yi Jianlian chose to turn back.

Batum jumped up to block it, but it didn't interfere.

Although his arm span is amazing, the height gap is there, and he is not a real power forward after all.

And Yi Jianlian is.

"Huh!"

Yi Jianlian leaned back and entered the net in response.

The ball is in!

Rivers stood on the sidelines and was stunned, and in an instant it was another meme.

The Celtics attacked, and after Pierce and Garnett's blocking, they broke through the basket and squeezed through Yi Jianlian to score a layup.

In order not to fall behind in the confrontation with James, he has deliberately gained weight and muscle this season, and his body has far surpassed that of most small forwards.

Looking back, the Rockets still played the same tactics, and Yi Jianlian continued to beat Batum in the low post.

The Rockets were stretched wide open at other positions, and the Celtics had no chances.

"Bang! Bang! ”

After continuous back plays, Yi Jianlian played a board after turning.

Batum was very uncomfortable, and in the end, he couldn't get up, so he directly grabbed Yi Jianlian's hand.

The referee's whistle blew, and Yi Jianlian got two free throws.

Tang Tian laughed at this time.

Basketball IQ came into play again at this time, and Yi Jianlian's learning speed was much faster than Millsap's at the beginning.

Yi Jianlian hit both free throws, and the Rockets continued to maintain their lead.

On the Celtics' offense, Pierce burst the ball to Ray Allen, who was interfered with by Battier and the ball went wide of the basket.

Yao Ming took advantage of the situation to collect the rebound.

Billups advanced to the front court with the ball, or handed the ball to Yi Jianlian in the low post.

The Celtics opted for a bag at this point, and Pierce shrunk the basket.

Yi Jianlian also reacted quickly and directly divided the ball into the bottom corner of Battier.

Battier catches the ball and shoots.

"Huh!"

The ball went into the net and he hit the first three-pointer of the game.

Rivers couldn't stand at this point, and turned to call Perkins up.

Tang Tian threw this move over, and this Batum couldn't stay on the field anymore.

After he finished calling, he glanced at the Rockets bench a little speechlessly.

Why can there always find some of the most suitable players over there, if the current Rockets starter is still Landry, Batum can completely withstand it.

Perkins came on the court, and the Rockets adjusted their offensive strategy.

Yao Ming showed more dominance in the high post, and the Celtics were a little overwhelmed by either Perkins or Glenn Davis.

However, the Rockets don't have much to do with the Big Three on the defensive end, and Rondo has experienced hard shooting after last season's Finals, and his stability has improved a lot compared to the same period in his previous life.

The two sides entered the bench period, Artest was limited in the face of the Celtics' defensive system, and Marbury and House were hot, and the two sides were also anxious.

In the stalemate, the game unwittingly reached the halfway point of the fourth quarter, with the score of 111-106 between the two sides, and the Rockets held a slight lead of 5 points.
