Chapter 189: The Shot!

With the win over the Nuggets, the Hornets are on a staggering 19-game winning streak.

In addition to the above 33 consecutive wins of the Lakers in the 1971-72 season, the 22 consecutive wins created by the Rockets from January 29 to March 16, 2008, and the 20 consecutive wins created by the Bucks and Washington Congress in ancient times, this record is second only to the 19 consecutive wins created by the Lakers, Celtics, Spurs, and Hawks.

Everyone was amazed by the Hornets' achievement, the other 29 teams in the league were talking, the four major sports media in the United States reported on it one after another, and CEO David Stern couldn't stop laughing.

In short, the Hornets have created a record that should not have happened, which means that they have created a miracle streak created by a rookie leading a group of rookie youth.

Now when people talk about basketball, the ONE and the Hornets have become hot words that they have to mention, they look at the Hornets' record, and unconsciously think of Michael Jordan, the basketball god of the 83 generation, and Olajuwon, the 'big dream'.

Seeing Yang Yi and the Hornets and other ordinary players killing in the league, there is really a trace of these predecessors.

Amid the buzz, the Hornets will fly straight to Minnesota before they have a break after the win over the Nuggets, where they will play back-to-back games against the Timberwolves tomorrow.

Fortunately, the Nuggets and Timberwolves are both in the Northwest Division, otherwise this wave of consecutive away games, the Hornets may end in tragedy.

In fact, not only the Nuggets and Timberwolves are in the Northwest Division, but the Jazz also belong to the Northwest Division, otherwise the league would not have arranged so many back-to-back games for the Hornets.

While the Timberwolves are at home and ready to take on the Hornets, Timberwolves head coach Rick Alderman is worried.

Even though the Hornets have shown considerable fatigue in the game against the Nuggets, Alderman is not optimistic about this game. Although the Hornets look weak, Yang Yi is very ferocious, and the Nuggets were destroyed in his hands in the last game, and I don't know how Gallinari is now; On the other hand, the Timberwolves have a similar lineup to the Hornets, but lack a fierce man like Yang Yi, and it will be difficult to stop the Hornets when they hit the winning streak.

Sure enough, when the whistle for the final game ends, the Timberwolves will walk into the tunnel dejectedly.

The Hornets in this game were significantly warmer than the previous game, and they cleanly defeated the Timberwolves by 113-94, 19 points, and won 20 in a row.

After the Hornets won 20 in a row, their status in the league's winning streak has improved qualitatively. Now in addition to the Los Angeles Lakers' 33-game winning streak in 1971-72, the Houston Rockets' 22-game winning streak in 2008, the Milwaukee Bucks' 20-game winning streak in 1971, and the Washington Congress's 20-game winning streak in 1947-48 and 1948-49. Their winning streak has reached sixth place, which is a well-deserved record.

And with two more wins, the Hornets could catch up with the 22-game winning streak created by the Rockets in '08; Win three more games, directly surpassing the Rockets, second only to the Lakers' ancient record of 33 consecutive wins.

Let's look at the next Hornets opponents: No. 7 home against the Suns, No. 9 away against the Hawks, No. 11 away against the Raptors, No. 12 away against the Pistons, No. 14 home against the Trail Blazers. It can be said that after three more days of rest, as long as the Hornets don't make too many mistakes, surpassing the Rockets to get the league's second-longest winning streak is already a certainty!

……

With consecutive defeats away from home, the Hornets' performance was phenomenal. So, on their way back to New Orleans Armstrong Airport, they were greeted heroically by the fans.

"Boss, you say that if we go on a winning streak and break the Lakers' ancient record, will we become the heroes of the city, just like Allen became the hero of Philadelphia?" Seeing the fans shouting wildly with small flags and posters, Gordon couldn't help but ask.

It was the first time he had received such an enthusiastic welcome, and he had never encountered such an exciting scene before.

"Yes, but it's not enough, we need to win championships, win more championships, and the heroes of this city must be us." Yang saw Gordon's look of anticipation and said softly.

He is speaking normally, because there is a system attached, and the championship should not be far away. But Gordon was struck by what he said.

The overall winner? What international jokes? Don't look at the Hornets who are killing in the regular season right now, but once they make the playoffs, they are out-and-out newcomers. The playoffs and the regular season are two different seasons, and this is the experience of countless predecessors.

"Well, when I didn't say it." Seeing Gordon's entangled face, the fat man knew that he had said too much, as long as he was a normal person, he would not believe his words. However, he didn't bother to explain, and when he scraped together enough glory points to buy more 3S skills, it would be a matter of time before he won the championship.

……

Back at home, Yang Yimei slept beautifully, and slept until the sky was dark and the stars were shifting.

Today, the team is on holiday, so that the players can recover if they want to recover, and those who don't want to recover can also go out to wave. After playing for so long, it was hard to have a three-day break, and Williams naturally squeezed out a day for the players to move freely.

Therefore, otaku like Yang Yi who has a girlfriend but no sex life can only sleep until he wakes up naturally, and then spend a day without a morning.

After washing, bathing, eating, and a series of bits and pieces, Yang Yi finally had time to enter the system lottery.

Another five-game winning streak, another lottery time, and the fat man entered the system on time.

Previously, he had a total of 126 glory points, and after a wave of five consecutive wins, he got thirty, minus the 15 used to buy the physical recovery potion, and now he has a total of 141 glory points; The skill points have been used up when he upgraded his attributes before, and this wave of five consecutive wins has accumulated 2 for him, and now there are only 2 skill points.

After reading these, you will immediately enter the lottery link.

The Super Boots automatically disappeared after the game against the Timberwolves, and he now only has a pair of regular sneakers that the system gave away. After getting used to the super explosive power brought to him by super sneakers, Yang Yi felt a little depressed when he thought of returning to his previous slow days soon.

I hope I can draw a permanent skill this time! Otherwise, you will always change your skills and collapse yourself sooner or later. The fat man prayed secretly in his heart.

I don't know if the prayer was heard by the system, but when he opened the package, he saw the word "The Shot" on the front of the card and the word "Permanent" on the back.

The shot Yang Yi knew that this skill was just Jordan's super long and airborne strike in Game 5 of the 1989 playoffs against the Cavaliers! At that time, the defender Elo had already landed in the air, and Jordan was still in the air, he kicked his legs, withdrew his hand and drifted sideways in the air, and threw the ball! Afterwards, people called this legendary lore the shot!

Nima! I finally drew the skills of Qiao's gang leader, but I didn't expect it to be a chicken rib. Although it is a permanent skill, the fat man feels that it is not very useful.

Besides, now that the league is getting faster and faster, it's hard to come across that kind of evenly matched confrontation. Often, either one side loses in advance or one side wins, and there are really not many games that are really stalemate to the end! Who needs to kill?

Alas! What's going to happen to the next game?

Thinking of returning to the previous state of either three points or back play, Yang Yi shuddered a little.
