With the sacrifice of magic, the Rockets seem to have found the feeling they had when they won the streak again, and they have started a wave of opening journeys.

However, this journey was not as fierce as the first time, and the Rockets were ended by the Spurs when they won 21 in a row, but the Rockets did not look unhappy in the whole team, because they had killed the Spurs three times before this, and this failure can only be said to be their carelessness.

And they have created another milestone for the whole team, that is, they are the third team in history to play two consecutive 20-game winning streak+ in a season, the first two are the Lakers and the Ancient Bucks, just like the Ancient Celtics led by Russell, the Lord of the Rings or Big Bird Bird, did not create such a miracle.

A 20+ winning streak is enough to announce to others the dominance of their team this season, and two 20+ winning streaks are afraid to directly announce to the world that this season's championship is theirs.

So far, the Rockets have played 58 regular season games, with a record of 54 wins and 4 losses, and the second in the West is also the second in the league from the Spurs to the Lakers, before the All-Star Game, Lakers general manager Kupchak finally learned the pain, he and the city rival launched the trade option, with Bynum, who is seriously incompatible with the team, and Barang Davis, who grabbed the ball with Kobe Bryant, as a bargaining chip, in exchange for the Clippers rebounding maniac Camby, Carman with independent offensive ability on the inside, and all-round small forward Margetty, This deal is hailed as a stroke of genius by the outside world, although from the perspective of the trade stars, the Lakers gave two but only got an expired All-Star player and two veterans with starting strength, but the Lakers have used two personal experiences to tell others that a team is not more All-Stars is good, sometimes the right team is the most important, Camby was able to snatch the champion with Duncan back then, although he is now old and decrepit, but if he only takes on the task of protecting the frame and rebounding, it is still more than enough, although Carman is bulky and slow, But the German center forward also has his own advantages, with solid footwork and interior singles skills, and he is also a player who can steadily contribute 15+10 at his peak, otherwise how dare he have the confidence to call Yao Ming?

After the trade, the Lakers' record has risen rapidly, and they have won a wave of 9 consecutive wins and rushed directly from sixth in the West to second in the West, but they are too far away from the Rockets, and now all they can do is to stabilize their second position in the league.

This year's Western Conference is very fierce, compared with previous years, not to say that the playoff spots are fiercely competitive, the Hornets in eighth place in the West and the Jazz in ninth place in the West have a gap of 6 wins, and in the regular season with more than 20 games left, as long as there are no accidents, the playoff teams in the West have basically been released, and their competitive incentive refers to the competition for the second to eighth place in the West.

From the Lakers to the Spurs to the Suns to the Mavericks to the Trail Blazers to the Nuggets to the Hornets, each team has not won more than 1 game, the Lakers don't look at the second place in the West now, if they lose four in a row, they will fall to the eighth place in the West, and the Hornets may rush to the second place in the West if they win four in a row, the situation in the West this year is complicated and confusing, and the Rockets feel that they will not know who their opponent in the first round of the playoffs will be until the last game of the regular season, In addition to entering the playoffs to ensure a spot, each team is also desperately rushing to the eighth, because everyone knows that if the eighth place in the West is the fate of a round tour, they should not be so sad.

During the Rockets' 20-game winning streak, Totoro also set a personal record, in February this year he won another individual award for the best player in the West, and was named the best player in the West for three consecutive months, making him the youngest player in NBA history to be named the best player for three consecutive months, and he also had the experience of winning the best player of the month for two consecutive months last year, which also made him the youngest player in NBA history to be voted the best player in the West for at least two consecutive months in a season.

The NBA is very detailed about the statistics of the data, he has countless records that others do not pay attention to there, and Totoro is now on the road to gradually breaking these records, and after a few years, those Yankees see that their record books are all the names of their Chinese, I wonder if they will give their mouths crooked?

After losing to the Spurs, the Rockets won another 10-game winning streak, then lost to the Lakers, and then came a wave of 6-game winning streaks, and the Rockets finally ended this legendary season with a 73-9 record, and they successfully broke the Bulls' record and became the team with the best regular season record in NBA history.

At the same time, their first round of playoff opponents were also announced, it was the Denver Nuggets led by melons and answers, Denver people didn't know that nerve was wrong in this year's regular season, they actually used the "brain" Billups who led the team to the Western Conference finals to trade the "answer" Allen Iverson, here is not to say that AI is inferior to Billups, but with the Nuggets team and the "melon" Anthony. Billups, who defends more than offense and is a playmaker, is undoubtedly more comfortable with this team than Iverson.

The Nuggets, who made the trade, plummeted from the fifth place in the West last year to the eighth place in the West, and the reputation of the Golden Double Gun seems to be good, but there is only one basketball on the court, and their combination is equivalent to putting Totoro and Kobe Bryant together, these two people who have absolute control over the ball don't fight to hell! If Anthony and AI are hot on a certain night, and the two can share a success rate of more than 50 respectively, then this Nuggets can wrestle with any team in the league, but as long as they have a person with normal efficiency, they are one line behind the strong team, if the efficiency of both of them is very low, then I'm sorry, the Nuggets dare to lose to any team in the league, even if it is the bottom of the league, the Nets, there is no embarrassment.

"We're in the playoffs, that's our team's goal, but it's definitely not our ultimate goal, and I know the Rockets are the regular season champions and the defending champions last year, but these names are useless on the playoff stage, and they don't scare us."

In an interview, Iverson put on an indifferent attitude and said, but although he said it lightly, others still think that in fact, AI panicked into a horse, and the answer in the 90s is not small now, but until now AI does not have a championship in hand, and the only honor that can be won is a regular season MVP, a best rookie and a three-time scoring champion. And if Iverson is to move up a few places in the Hall of Fame, that championship is absolutely essential.

But this year, when it encounters the strongest rocket in the league, does the AI still have any hope of competing for the championship? Outsiders believe that this problem is also desperate in the hearts of the AI itself!
