"Alas!" Bob Whitzert sighed.

He is not afraid of not knowing the ball, he is afraid of the boss who watches the ball every day and thinks he understands the ball!

The Trailblazers are full of big names, they have been impacting the championship, and there is no time to cultivate newcomers, Xiao Ao was actually delayed by the team!

For most players, the rookie contract period is over, and the potential is about the same. But O'Neal Jr. is different, he was only 17 years old when he entered the draft, and he is the youngest player in the entire NBA!

Now four years later, O'Neal Jr. has begun to get his second contract in his life, but at the age of only 21, there is still a lot of room for improvement, and Whitzett still has great expectations for him!

It's just that, with the current situation of the Trailblazers, it seems that O'Neal Jr. will still not have playing time. In this way, this young man with unlimited potential is afraid that he will really slowly become a waste of firewood!

From another point of view, the Trailblazers are indeed only a meat shield away from the finals. If the team can have another meat shield and resist O'Neal after Sabonis is gone, then it is the Trail Blazers who have reached the finals now!

"Boss, will you let me think about it again? I want to think about it before I decide! Bob Whitzter said.

Paul Allen really wanted to slap his team's president twice.

Xiao Ao for Dale Davis, a garbage time substitute for an All-Star, how cost-effective, he still has to think about it!

But he also knows that Bob Whitzett is an expert in his industry, and it is his small caution that has allowed him to succeed in this league.

So the big boss of the Trailblazers sighed and said to his president: "Bob, I handed over the team to you, of course, I trust you, and I support all the decisions you make." But the team can't find a better meat shield than Dale Davis, don't miss the opportunity! ”

While the Trail Blazers management was busy looking for a big meat shield to defend against O'Neal, the media was focused on the upcoming Finals!

Lakers vs Knicks!

The Lakers, who won 67 wins in the regular season, are still regarded as the first favorites by major media despite being sniped by the Trail Blazers in the Western Conference Finals.

Because 67 wins is too difficult to achieve, there are only 4 teams in NBA history that have achieved more than 67 wins in a single season regular season, in addition to the Lakers and Celtics, the other two are the Philadelphia 76ers with Wilt Chamberlain, and the Bulls with Michael Jordan!

In the 1966-67 season, Celtic's legendary Cardinal Auerbach left his head coaching role to concentrate on the management of the team, and former Syracuse Nation coach Alex Hanham returned to become the team's head coach. It's just that now the Nationals have moved to Philadelphia and changed their name to the 76ers, so he's the 76ers coach.

Hannum demanded more passes and fewer shots from Chamberlain, and as a result, Chamberlain averaged just 24.1 points per game that season, missing out on the scoring title for the first time in eight years. However, his personal efficiency has greatly improved, ranking first in the league in shooting 68.3% from the field, averaging 24.16 rebounds per game and ranking third on the assist list with 7.8 assists per game.

The 76ers won 45 of their first 49 games after the start of the season and ended up breaking NBA history with a 68-13 record in the regular season.

That's right, 68-13, and that year's regular season was 81.

When the NBA was founded, there were only 11 teams involved, and each team played 60 games in a season. Due to management problems, the NBA was reduced to only 7 teams, and the number of games was reduced to 48 games played by one team in a season.

However, as the league expanded, the league began the 1961-62 season with 80 regular season games, increased to 81 games in 1966-67, and finally set the regular season to 82 games in 1967. Since then, the number 82 has been completely fixed barring a shutdown.

In the playoffs that year, the Philadelphia 76ers eliminated the Cincinnati Royals 3:1 in the first round, and then eliminated the Celtics who had won the previous 8 consecutive championships 4:1, ending the longest Celtics dynasty in NBA history, easily advancing to the Finals, and finally defeating the San Francisco Warriors in the Finals to win the championship.

By the way, in the following 67-68 season, Chamberlain was even more crazy in passing, and finally won the assist title. That's right, it's the king of assists, at that time, the data king counted the total, not the average data per game, Big O Oscar Robertson had more assists per game than Chamberlain, but he only played 65 games due to injury, so the full-time Chamberlain became the assist king.

Chamberlain is also very proud of his assist king, he once said: "In my life, I have won the scoring king, the rebounding king, the block king, the assist king, if anyone can do this, I can admit that he is better than me, or as good as me." ”

In the regular season that year, the 76ers were 62-20 and still the first in the league, and in the Eastern Conference finals of the playoffs, they led the 54-win Celtics 3:1, but unfortunately the Celtics led by Bill Russell achieved a shocking reversal and lost the opportunity to defend the title with a score of 3:4.

After the 76ers, the second team to win more than 67 in a single season is the Lakers.

In the '71-72 season, the Lakers fired head coach Joe Mullaney and hired former University of South Carolina star Bill Sharman who played for the Celtics.

With a generation of famous coach Bill Sharman under the command, Chamberlain, yes, is Chamberlain, who set a record of 68 wins, with Goodrich and Jerry West's luxurious backcourt, won an unprecedented 33 consecutive wins, and their final record that season was 69-13, Chamberlain broke the record he had set, and this new record was held until the 95-96 season, when it was broken by the Chicago Bulls.

The Lakers set a record, and the glorious Celtics were not far behind, with a 68-14 regular season record in the 72-73 season, just one less than the Lakers' record for total wins in the regular season.

In the 85-86 season, the Celtics created myths again.

That season, Larry Bird could do anything, averaging a league-high fourth-high 25.8 points, a seventh-highest 9.8 rebounds and a ninth-high 2.02 steals per game, while shooting a league-high 89.6 percent from the free throw line and 42.3 percent from three-point range.

In addition, Bird's average of 6.8 assists per game is also the highest for the Celtics. These stellar stats earned Bird a third consecutive MVP title, an achievement that only two people had achieved before him: Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain.

In addition to Bird, the other players of the Celtics have also played well. Kevin McHale averaged 21.3 points per game, while Bill Wharton, who moved from the Clippers, also recovered from injury, playing in 80 regular season games and averaging 7.6 points and 6.8 rebounds per game to be named Sixth Man of the Year.

67-15, this is the regular season record card of the Celtics, the Celtics in the playoffs are like the world, losing only one in the three-round series, and entering the Finals again, and finally defeated the Rockets with the top two towers Hakim Olajuwon and Ralph Sampson 4-2 in the Finals, successfully won the 16th championship trophy in team history.

The last team to have more than 67 wins was the Chicago Bulls, who had three seasons with 67 or more wins.

In the 92-93 season, the Bulls won the championship with 67 wins and 15 losses, in the 96-97 season, they won the championship with 69 wins and 13 losses, and in the 95-96 season, they won the championship with 72 wins and 10 losses!

It can be said that there are very few teams in NBA history that have won more than 67 games, except for the tragic 73-year-old Celtics, the rest have won the championship.

This year, the Lakers have played such an earth-shattering, ghost-weeping record, and Lakers fans are also very confident, they feel that the 12th championship in team history is beckoning.

Of course, they didn't know about the other plane, and there was a runner-up with 73 wins, and if they knew, they would have vomited three liters of blood.

In the previous life, there was one of the worst clubs with 67+ wins, that is, the Dallas Mavericks in 07, who were blacked out in the first round!
