Anthony's deal is over, and everything seems to be back on track.

After about two days, the popularity of the news made by Anthony began to decline, and the media began to look elsewhere again.

And for the media and reporters, the Lakers, who are maintaining a winning streak, are undoubtedly the focus of attention.

After the big game with the Heat, the Lakers won two games in a row, extending the team's winning streak to 23 games, setting a new NBA record.

According to the statistics of the NBA for decades, the longest winning streak is 33 consecutive wins, which was created by the Lakers in the 71~72 season, which is also a record that the NBA has not been able to break.

Then came the 07~08 season, the Rockets created a 22-game winning streak, which was the second longest winning streak in NBA history. At that time, the Rockets with Yao Mai combination, with an excellent lineup, played an unprecedented 22-game winning streak, causing a sensation all over the world. And Yao Ming was also praised for this at that time, which was recognized by more people and established his status in the world basketball world.

It can be said that the number of times the Rockets' 22-game winning streak has been mentioned is no less than the 33-game winning streak created by the Lakers more than 30 years ago.

However, this statement is in response to what was said before the Lakers won 23 in a row. And after the Lakers won 23 consecutive victories, the second-longest winning streak in history was crowned to the Lakers team now commanded by Chu Xuan.

After the Lakers have won 23 consecutive games, the intensity of attention they have attracted can definitely only be described as hot.

For the fans, they all feel incredible. Because, no matter how you look at it, the Lakers at the beginning of the season are not a team that can reach this level, and even the Lakers are not even among the top ten teams in the league.

However, halfway through the season, the Lakers won an unprecedented 23 straight games and maintained the best record in the league, which is unimaginable.

You know, any team that can play such a result can definitely only be described as dominant.

However, in most people's minds, the Lakers may suddenly become good, but there is no way to associate it with dominance.

However, when the fact of 23 consecutive wins is in front of us, the best record in the league, the double kill of the Heat and many other honors, people who are in a dream have to think and have to accept, it turns out that the Lakers are really no longer the Lakers who were originally thought to be bad, and it has become the top team in the league again.

And under such recognition, Chu Xuan, as the head coach, naturally received unimaginable praise and affirmation, which made him even more famous.

"The first person in China's coaching industry", "The most talented coach", "The visionary and unique prophet", "The first Chinese NBA coach", "The most potential head coach in the NBA...... Wait, countless names have been crowned on Chu Xuan's head, and his limelight has even overshadowed too many All-Star players.

Of course, the Lakers have transformed like this, even though Chu Xuan has contributed a lot, but the hard work and dedication of the players are fundamental.

As a leading star, Kobe, who has performed well in the season, has naturally become the darling of fans, and the topic of Flyers chasing the Flyers has been hotly discussed again.

In addition to Kobe, Gasol, Noll, Whiteside, and Green are also promoted by the media.

In this case, considering that the All-Star bench list is about to be announced, the question of how many Lakers will be selected as All-Stars has also begun to be hotly discussed around the world.

You know, the Lakers are currently the best team in the league, and given the history, such a team will have at least two All-Star selections.

Looking at the Lakers' lineup, Kobe Bryant is already going to start as an All-Star, so the backup All-Star should undoubtedly have Lakers players.

Gasol has performed slightly better this season than last season, and there is a lot of call for him to be selected as an All-Star again.

Considering the Lakers' record, Knoll will undoubtedly be able to book the league's rookie of the year. And, his defensive prowess has proven to be top-notch in the league, and obviously, he deserves to be an All-Star.

However, given how difficult it is to be an All-Star as a rookie (only 13 times in all of history), the odds of Knoll being selected as an All-Star aren't very certain.

After all, you must know that in the past 10 years, only Yao Ming and Griffin have been selected as All-Stars as rookies. is as good as the little emperor James, but he failed to achieve the honor of being selected as an All-Star in his rookie season.

In this case, although the media is optimistic about Noll, it does not think that he will eventually be selected as an All-Star.

However, given the current composition of the Lakers' roster, all but three of them are not performing well enough to reach an All-Star level. Therefore, if the Lakers can really have three All-Star selections, it will undoubtedly only be the three of them.

Therefore, February is coming, the All-Star start is imminent, and the call for Gasol to be selected as an All-Star bench can be said to be huge.

And in this way, the Spaniard is also quite excited, training hard, playing hard and tough on the court, and sprinting for the All-Star honor.

Speaking of Gasol, this all-round and excellent inside big man, even in the world, is definitely second to none. Especially on the international stage, Gasol is definitely one of the hegemons on the inside. However, after arriving in the NBA, his performance was not greatly recognized, and in the United States, which advocates a strong style of play, Gasol's style of play made him a so-called "soft egg". ”

In this way, Gasol naturally does not receive many honors. However, he is hungry for honors, so if he has the chance, he will definitely hold on to it.

Of course, for the media, Gasol's All-Star problem is not as hot as the Lakers' winning streak, too many people are thinking and expecting, how many consecutive wins can the Lakers achieve, and has it refreshed the 33-game winning streak in the 71~72 season?

*********

On the evening of the 28th, at the Staples Center Arena, before the game, reporter David McMillan was interviewing Chu Xuan.

"Chu, if at the beginning of the season, someone said that you could achieve twenty-three consecutive victories, then I would definitely only say two words, nonsense! But now, you've conquered me with your actions, and I really want to know how you did it, and I'm a Lakers fan, and I especially want you to go over 33 in a row. ”

When talking about whether it is possible for the current Lakers to break the 33-game winning streak set by the Lakers 32 years ago, Chu Xuan's answer is very cautious, but he is confident.

"The Lakers 32 years ago had five All-Star players, Jerry West, Gail Goodrich, Wilt Chamberlain, Elgin Baylor, and Flynn Robinson, among which Jerry, Gail, Wert, and Elgin were Hall of Famer players, and his other players were also very good, which made them dominate the league at that time.

But we're different, my players are still young, and Steve, Paul, and Kobe Bryant are all old guys, even though they're all All-Stars and future Hall of Fame. And to be able to get to where we are today, our young players have been instrumental in making the Lakers competitive.

However, our roster is still in the run-in and growth period, and we are still a lot worse than the Lakers team led by Jerry 32 years ago. We don't have the dominance right now, and there are so many teams in the league that can pose a threat to us.

However, we will not pass up this rare opportunity and we will try to extend our winning streak. As for whether the record will be broken, this is not something we should be thinking about at the moment. ”

Subsequently, David McMillan asked Chu Xuan what he thought of this year's All-Star selection.

Chu Xuan replied lightly: "Kobe Bryant is undoubtedly an All-Star, and his performance after his comeback is phenomenal, and absolutely no one wants to do it." And in my opinion, Paul, Norris, and Hassan are also All-Star level players. ”

McMillan was not surprised by Chu Xuan's answer, after all, the Lakers' record did make them worthy of a few more All-Star spots.

At the end, McMillan asked what he thought of today's game.

Chu Xuan, on the other hand, replied confidently: "There is no doubt that we are ready to win everything. (To be continued.) )
