Breaking a 44-year record? Just thinking about it is enough to make people excited and excited.
"Aren't you very excited? I felt like my heart was jumping out of my throat. Downs looked at Norris Noll beside him very seriously, his face full of excitement.
Noel picked his eyelids and said expressionlessly: "No, I'm very calm now." Rookie, you will experience a lot of times like this in the future. So, you have to learn to stay calm, otherwise, the excitement will only affect your performance, and then you will easily be kicked in the ass by your opponent. ā
Looking at the old-fashioned Noel, Downs couldn't help but pout, he felt that Noll was pretending, and this was big enough.
"Hey, Norris, I bet your calm is only on the surface, and at this time, how can it be so easy to be calm. Unless the person who said this was Kobe Bryant, I don't believe it......"
Downs invisibly slapped Kobe Bryant's ass.
At this moment, Kobe Bryant walked over from the side, and couldn't help but laugh after hearing this: "Carl, I'm also very excited." But Norris may be really calm. ā
Downs's expression couldn't help but freeze, how could this boss suddenly belittle himself and praise Noor.
And Knoll couldn't help but laugh, with a hint of pride and pride on his face. His expression was very funny, as if to tell everyone that he was the successor of Stone Buddha Duncan, and what was the point of this little battle. However, Kobe Bryant's next words made Noll's smile freeze on his face, and the form was quite embarrassing and funny.
"Anyway, you have to know that he doesn't have to play today."
Downs couldn't help but laugh.
Seeing this, Noel couldn't help but pat his head, full of helplessness: "God, take these guys away, I hate the sound of these guys." ā

The pre-game vignette gave a clear sense of the atmosphere of the Lakers at this time, and there is no doubt that the players will not be able to keep their composure, after all, this is the greatest moment of the Lakers team in years, and they have the potential to break the 44-year record. No, to be precise, these guys are 100% confident inside.
"Standing at the high point of history, I seem to have seen that incomparable beauty, let's move forward together! Win! ā
Kobe Bryant called all the little brothers to his side and held a mobilization meeting. He takes this game very seriously, and for a guy who aspires to be the best player in history, any accolades and records are what he wants to have.
Where have a group of young people experienced such a historic moment, one by one is fiery and passionate in their hearts.
"Victory! Win! Win! ā
The journey began, Chu Xuan sat on the chair on the sidelines and watched all this, he felt a different kind of cohesion, which was really unimaginably terrifying.
"I think there's already a lot of pressure in the hearts of any opponent. The Lakers' dominance has been formed, and this behemoth will dominate the league until it all ends with flowers and applause. Chu Xuan's thoughts were full of emotion, he felt that his task had been completed, and the formation of the Lakers dynasty was inevitable. Looking at the players who showed passion and sweat on the field, the seeds that had already been planted in Chu Xuan's heart couldn't help but germinate again, like a torrent, constantly surging out. He couldn't help but touch his chest, feel the heartbeat, and his eyes were full of sorrow...... Is it possible? Will that time come?
*********
The Washington Wizards are one of the league's most promising newcomers and one of the most promising newcomers.
The team has slowly rebuilt through the draft, with the addition of Bradley Beal, Otto Porter, and Noah Vonleh giving the team a terrifying talent. As the run-in continued, the talent of the young people was realized, and the Wizards became one of the seeded teams in the future playoffs.
The Wizards are a perfect combination, if you count Seraphim, who averaged 11.5 points, 7.7 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game last season, then the Wizards actually have the reputation of five less. Of course, most of the time, the most talked about by the outside world is the four less, and Seraphim is often overlooked, after all, the big man has not shown the potential of a star in his 6-year career, and the important thing is that he is 26 years old. Of course, Seraphim is still okay as a starter. After a few seasons, he has adapted to any role and positioning with the Wizards.
The Lakers are a benchmark and template for the Wizards' growth path, as the two teams are very similar in many ways. The Lakers have rebuilt with a number of potential players, and the Wizards seem to have that too. However, compared with the Lakers, the Wizards lack the guidance of veterans like Gasol and Kobe, and of course, more importantly, the lack of a historical phenomenon-level head coach. Therefore, the Wizards' growth is not destined to have the jaw-dropping speed of the Lakers, it can only grow slowly, and it is unknown how much talent it can eventually realize and what level of team it will become.
However, judging from the expectations of the outside world, most people think that the Wizards can become the second Thunder team.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the four young Wizards do have the potential to become star players.
After scoring 16.4 points, 8.3 assists and 1.8 steals in his rookie season, John Wall has been steadily improving, and in the last three seasons, his personal performance has been maintained at the level of 20 points + 5 rebounds + 8 assists + 2 steals + 1 block. It can be said that Wall is a three-dimensional star with excellent offensive and defensive organization, and in addition to his slightly worse shooting, he can be said to be the template for the best point guard, with the potential to become a superstar.
The second young Bradley Beal, who was selected with the third overall pick in the 12-year-old draft at the age of 18, shows how much he is favored. You know, as a shooting guard, and with a slightly lower height, to be able to be drafted in the top three, then the talent is absolutely terrifying. Beal and Klay Thompson are very similar players, and his shooting ability is very outstanding, whether it is a mid-range shot or a three-point shot, it is a first-class level. And since he entered the league, his defense has been improving, which has given him a better future. This season is Beal's fourth year with the Wizards, and his scoring averages have been steadily rising in four seasons, 13.9 points, 15.8 points, 19.4 points per game, and to 20.1 points this season, he is slowly cashing in on his scoring talent and becoming the best partner next to Wall. It's worth mentioning that in 21 games played this season, Beal has made 45 steals and made 54 three-pointers. Suffice it to say, this is an enhanced version of a star-level 3D player.
Otto Porter, the third youngster, was a rookie in the same year as Noll and Bennett, and was also the third pick, and Porter's potential was unmatched. In his first season, Porter was able to contribute 12.5 points, and in his second season, he reached 15.7 points, 5.6 rebounds and 3.4 assists, becoming more and more versatile. This season, Porter has been able to average 18.7 points, 5.5 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game, shooting 48.5%, 43.4% and 81.9% from three, becoming one of the most efficient small forwards in the league. Although Potter has not yet reached Knoll's star level, he is already the leader of the second tier in the 13th edition.
Speaking of which, I have to say that the 13th class of players, at the beginning of the draft, this was considered a rookie in the draft. However, in the new season, which is the third season of this rookie, they are already considered the best rookie in the last 10 years, and even have the hope of surpassing the 03 generation in terms of overall quality. Up to now, the 13th class has McLemore, Pope, CJ McCollum, Bennett four players with an average score of 20+ per game, and then Noll and Oladipo won an average of 20+ per game last season, and then to today's Porter, Goodwin and other players who are slowly cashing in their talents, it can be said that the growth of the 13th class has greatly exceeded expectations, and the future is immeasurable.
Four Shao, that is, the No. 5 rookie Noah Vonleh in the 14th class, Vonleh was able to play 10.4 points, 7.3 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 1.4 blocks in his rookie season. His physical hardware and talent are enough for him to be an All-Star in 5 years, provided he can develop an offensive ...... However, judging from the current situation, Vonleh's offensive development is relatively slow. However, the manager and his team-mates were patient with him.
***********
"There is always a price to pay for being young, and today's Lakers taught the Wizards a good lesson. You know, in such a tired situation, and there is still a truce of the main team, the Lakers were able to defeat the Wizards and set a historical record, which is really the best interpretation of the team. If the Wizards can learn the truth, I think they will be the winners of the Eastern Conference Finals in the next two years. ā
After four quarters of the game, the final result was a shame for Washington fans, but it was enough to be satisfying for all the Lakers supporters. Because they managed to set a record with 34 consecutive wins! And, of course, continuing to refresh the best season start in history......
The Lakers were able to win this game, and excellent defense played the most critical role.
In today's game, the Lakers played the last defense of the season under the leadership of Kobe, which can be said to be a suffocating defensive intensity, and it can involuntarily remind people of the Lakers' performance in the playoffs.
It is under this kind of defense that the Wizards' four youngsters are completely substandard or terrible, except for Noah Vonleh's satisfactory play. Vonleh contributed 13 points, 12 rebounds and 2 blocks, but the offensive efficiency was still very low, and he didn't hit any of his three three-point attempts. Wall, on the other hand, was 6-of-14 from the field and contributed 12 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists but had 6 turnovers. Beal scored just seven points and Porter had 12 points, five rebounds and four assists, but was only 4-of-13 in offensive efficiency.
Defense is the most critical role, and LaVine's stunning outburst on the offensive end also played a decisive role. It can be said that LaVine almost single-handedly blew up the Wizards in this game, and of course, there was credit for his teammates passing the ball for him.
In today's crucial game, LaVine was in the best form of his career, and he set a new career single-game scoring record with a personal performance of 42 points. Such high scoring is not the result of high shots, on the contrary, LaVine's offense today was perfect. He hit 14 of his 26 shots, including 9-of-16 three-pointers and 5-of-6 from the free-throw line. In addition, there were 8 points and 4 boards to score.
"Zach sacrificed a lot for the team, and I think he's still the league's top scorer in a lot of people's minds. If he is given enough shots, I think he can become an average scorer of 25+ or 30+ per game. But in today's Lakers, including Kobe, no one has to have such conditions. So, everybody's sacrificing, but in exchange for us being winning, and I admire their professionalism very, very much. The greatness of the 34-game winning streak was forged by all of them, and I am sure that history will remember them countless years from now. ā
At the press conference, Chu Xuan gave a moving speech......
*************
After creating the longest winning streak in history, the only thing left to focus on is which team can end the Lakers' winning streak.
Because only if the Lakers' winning streak is ended, then the number of games with the longest winning streak in history will be accurately recorded in the history books, otherwise it will only be a constantly changing number.
After seven consecutive road games in the East, the biggest test for the Lakers was the game between No. 26 and the Trail Blazers, and that game was on the road, and it was also an away back-to-back game, and theoretically it would be difficult for the Lakers to win that game. After all, the Trail Blazers are one of the four strongest teams in the East, and the team's roster is very big and threatening.
Of course, the premise is that the Lakers can beat the team before the Trail Blazers.
You know, although the opponent before the game against the Trail Blazers is not very challenging, it is inevitable that there will be a miscarriage. Therefore, Chu Xuan also constantly instructed the players to be cautious and not to underestimate the enemy.
Eventually, the Lakers won a few more games and then went to Portland to play the Trail Blazers.
I have to say, God wants the Lakers to win this game. The Trail Blazers players are not in great shape, and there are quite a few problems on offense and defense. Coupled with Chu Xuan's serious and full preparation, the Lakers easily won the Trail Blazers, refreshing the winning streak to 39 consecutive wins, and the best record at the beginning of the season also came to 31 consecutive wins......
This is an unbelievable phenomenon, the Lakers are beyond imagination, everyone is dumbfounded, and in amazement, they are also calling for a team to give the Lakers a game. It was a once-in-a-century spectacle, and everyone was excited, and the Lakers became the most exposed team in global sports. Even football circles, football circles, and so on, have begun to talk about the Lakers......
Some pundits are beginning to assert that no matter how many consecutive wins the Lakers can end up with, then the record they set will not be broken. Because it's an unimaginable record.
After experiencing the romance of Christmas and his girlfriend, Chu Xuan was in a happy mood, but he was also full of energy, and led the team to win two more games in one go.
In December, the Lakers won all the games again, and Whiteside was elected Player of the Month for the first time in his career, which made him more popular in the All-Star vote.
In their first game in December, the Lakers defeated the Charlotte Hornets bloodlessly, bringing their winning streak to a terrifying 42 games.
And on the 3rd, the Lakers ushered in the most important opponent of the season and the imaginary enemy of the Western Conference Finals, the Houston Rockets! It's also the team most likely to give the Lakers a loss...... The world's attention is focused on the Toyota Center.
In anyone's opinion, this is a big battle like Mars hitting Earth. However, what made people speechless and surprising was that Chu Xuan took turns to rest the four main players, allowing Antetokounmpo, who has been in excellent form recently, to lead the team alone in a fierce confrontation with the Rockets team without Anthony at the Toyota Center. Of course, the final result was not surprising, the Lakers lost to the Rockets 86-97, and the winning streak came to an end.
"It reminds me of Gregg Popovich, who is a scoundrel to rest his main players in the most important and high-profile games. Chu Xuan has simply gotten the true transmission of Greg......"
There was an uproar from the outside world, and the judgment of Chu Xuan was like a rain of bullets, after all, his approach disappointed everyone who was looking forward to this game. And the fans who couldn't see the peak decisive battle as they wished, naturally they would not easily "forgive" Chu Xuan.
It seems that overnight, there are a lot more Chu Hei, and many people spray Chu Xuan in various ways to calm the resentment in their hearts.
"I feel like my heart hurts and I didn't even get to see the showdown."
ā¦ā¦
Under the pressure of huge social public opinion, Chu Xuan did not have any psychological burden. On the contrary, after the end of the winning streak, his heart was much lighter. This allowed him to finally calm down from the excitement of his winning streak...... In his opinion, this is better for the Lakers.
In fact, even if the main team did not play, this game with the Rockets is still quite interesting.
The contest between Downs and Howard made people see another shadow of the future supergiant, Howard contributed 16 points and 15 boards, while rookie Towns contributed 23 points, 14 boards, 7 assists, 4 blocks and 2 steals.
"My biggest impulse right now is to kidnap Mitch Kupchak and force him to trade the Lakers' youngsters to me for two ......," Celtics, the arch-enemy, told the media with jealousy.
ā¦ā¦
The winning streak is over, and history has come to an unfortunate but perfect end.
I believe that after countless years, everyone will still remember that in the 14~15 season, the Lakers achieved the best start of the season with 34 wins and 1 loss. And the longest winning streak in history has also been refreshed to 42 consecutive wins!
Since then, the top three of the longest winning streak have been maintained by the Lakers, of which the first and third are created by the Lakers team under Chu Xuan's coaching.
It seems that there are only four words to describe all this.
It's a miracle! (To be continued.) )
