Chapter 443: Mr. Thirty-Five Thousand Points

The Lakers' form this season has left everyone in stunned, because no team in NBA history has been able to start the season with such a winning streak, and the Lakers are the first team to do so. The winning streak www.biquge.info Pen, Fun and Court is not only a reflection of a team's good form, but also a reflection of the team's unrivalled strength.

After defeating the Cavaliers, the Lakers overthrew the 76ers led by Bennett in Philadelphia, and then flew to New York on December 11 to challenge the Knicks. This is the 23rd game of the season, and it is also quite a crucial game, because at this time, the Lakers are only two games away from the 33-game winning streak, as long as they can win the Knicks and the next game of the Raptors, the Lakers can complete a 33-game winning streak, sharing the longest winning streak in the history of the Lakers more than 40 years ago. However, judging from the current situation, it is still difficult to achieve this goal.

From the Knicks to general manager Phil Jackson to the players and fans, they all expressed strong hostility towards the Lakers, and the New York media pointed the finger at the Lakers and Chu Xuan, who had beaten the head of the newspaper here, as if the negative impact of the incident still existed. In addition, Jackson and Chu Xuan have had a lot of unpleasantness, so in today's game, the Knicks' hostility towards the Lakers is still very big. For the megalopolis of New York, fans are also paying more attention to this game, and they all hope that the team can end the Lakers' winning streak and destroy its chance to make history.

That morning, the media in New York interviewed Chu Xuan, and these guys' interviews with Chu Xuan were full of provocations, which made Chu Xuan very unhappy. When asked if he regretted the beating incident back then, Chu Xuan replied: "There is nothing to regret, this matter is not worth thinking about again, it doesn't matter." All I'm concerned about now is how to lead the team to a 23-game winning streak......"

Chu Xuan's words seemed to be a little arrogant, which also stimulated the fans in New York, and some radicals scolded Chu Xuan one after another, and the sound of attack was also extremely dense.

In such a state of affairs, Zen master Jackson also made a statement in an interview: "Young men are always full of anger, but young people will eventually pay the price for arrogance, I think today's game, we will win without any suspense." Of course, I congratulate Kobe Bryant on his milestone as his former mentor and wish him in advance the youngest Mr. 35,000 in NBA history. Even though it's done for my team, I still want to bless him. ”

Jackson and Chu Xuan started a war of words again, which made the game also get great attention. Like, this is a more interesting scene.

And the ESPN reporter was even more afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and when asked Jackson if he planned to come back as a head coach to compete with Chu Xuan, Jackson responded: "I don't think I need to prove myself for anyone or anything, I won't come back, because there is nothing worthy of my comeback." ”

Such words aroused the indignation of the Lakers, as if the Zen master's meaning was obvious, he was looking down on Chu Xuan, but he did not come back as the head coach, which made people a little helpless and annoyed.

However, after Chu Xuan heard the Zen Master's words, he only let out a chuckle: "I only know that people who always live in the past are the biggest cowards, and I also know that the best way to resolve disputes between warriors is to fight each other. Therefore, many times, the coward's ability to speak is just to seek people's eyeballs, and at the same time, he is also shaping his own image for useless purposes, which is meaningless. I'm not going to talk about that, so follow the game. ”

I have to say that Chu Xuan is a sharp-tongued guy, and the confrontation between the two is the best proof that the Zen master did not take advantage, which made him quite depressed. Therefore, he also angrily ordered Lao Yu Fisher to let him win today's game no matter what, and make Chu Xuan embarrassed at all costs.

……

After the game with the 76ers, Kobe Bryant's career total points reached 34,987 points, which means that Kobe Bryant is only 13 points short of becoming the third Mr. 35,000 points in history, and he will also be the youngest. Considering Bryant's average of 20+ points per game this season, the possibility of Kobe Bryant's goal against the Knicks is almost certain.

For Lakers fans, it's a big deal and enough to get them excited. You know, in the entire history of the NBA, only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Karl Malone have been able to score such high points. Superstars among superstars, such as Jordan and Chamberlain, didn't make it that far. And now, Kobe Bryant has done it, and it's incredible.

"If it had been 20 years ago, who would have thought that Kobe Bryant would have achieved what he is today? I don't think anyone would think that way, including Kobe Bryant himself. ”

"Definitely a great achievement, 35000 + 7000 + 7000 + 2000, the first player in history to achieve this kind of data, plus 7 championships, I think Kobe's greatness no longer needs to be described in words. When mentioned in the future, he should be mentioned on a high level with Michael Jordan, otherwise, it will be naked discrimination......"

……

In the world's exclamations, the world's praise, the game with the Knicks finally started.

The Zen master showed up in the box to watch the game, and Spike Lee, a die-hard New York fan, was naturally indispensable on the sidelines. It is worth mentioning that Rihanna and many other New York celebrities were on hand to watch the game. And the most surprising thing is that Michael Jordan appeared on the sidelines. Obviously, he came to see Kobe Bryant play.

Today's Knicks, after Anthony left, have completely completed the rebuild. Jabari Parker was the absolute heart of this team, and then Stauskas also lived up to his super-pitching talent on the offensive end and became Parker's right-hand man. In addition, Fournier and Hardaway are also good scorers, plus the guard Clarkson who is gradually emerging this season, in fact, the prospects of the Knicks are still good. However, the shortcomings of this team still exist, that is, there are no good seedlings on the inside, and there are no available people. However, this season, head coach Fisher moved Parker to the No. 4 position, which has worked well, and the Knicks have remained in the top eight in the East and have the possibility of making the playoffs this season.

Against the Lakers, Fisher made a change today, bringing Stauskas to the bench and starting Fournier, followed by Larkin, Parker, Brandon Ashley and Kanoski.

Except for Parker, the other four can be said to be infamous. Ashley is the 53rd pick this year, because the Knicks have no one inside, he seized the opportunity, averaging 6.4 points and 5.0 rebounds per game, showing some potential, which is also one of the very few 15-year second-round rookies who can play so far. And then there's Kanooski, a big guy with a height of 216cm, who was recently signed to the Knicks by Jackson on a ten-day contract from a team in the Continental League. I have to say that Lao Yu really dares to use it, a player with a 10-day contract actually started the first three games of his career. And I have to say that Kanowski played well, averaging 7.3 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game. And today's game is the last game of his ten-day contract. Unsurprisingly, he will receive a guaranteed contract to stay with the Knicks.

……

The game began, and the two sides began to compete in the first quarter.

The Lakers, on their side, were very determined to play inside offense, and then defended Jabari Parker and two guards. This tactical arrangement is also aimed at the Knicks' lineup configuration, after all, for this young team, their flaws are still relatively obvious.

However, to Chu Xuan's surprise, the Knicks were not easily handled, and Ashley at the No. 3 position played an eye-catching performance, hitting 2 three-pointers in the first quarter. You know, this is a 203cm tall mini power forward, but he has shown a steady long-range shooting ability, as if he can be said to be a player similar to Millsap. And the Knicks selected him with the No. 53 pick, which has to be said to be a treasure. In addition, the Knicks' bench showed a lot of firepower, which made the Knicks even match the Lakers.

Of course, that's not to say that the Knicks are a match for the Lakers. In fact, Chu Xuan knew that his players were already very tired because of the long winning streak, and it was expected that today's defense would be a little weak. Then there is the performance of the Knicks off the bench, which is not outside of Chu Xuan's surprise. Because this season, the Knicks can maintain the top eight record in the East with such a lineup, and it is entirely because of his bench firepower.

However, after all, the Knicks are a team that has just been rebuilt, and there is still a big gap between them and the Lakers in terms of tactical maturity and team hard power. Therefore, when Chu Xuan focused on new arrangements according to the situation of the game, the game also developed in a new direction.

In the second quarter of the game, Kobe Bryant began his personal performance time, and near the end of the half, Kobe Bryant hit a three-pointer, scored 14 points, and finally reached 35,001 career points, thus completing the milestone and becoming the third "35,000" point in history.

This is a great achievement, and it is a great psychological stimulation for all the young players on the scene, especially a group of superstars of the Lakers, who are even more enthusiastic about their future, and their personal desire to perform is also much stronger.

Encouraged by Kobe's milestone, the Lakers players began to play excitedly, and the second half became a complete turning point in the game. With a strong and excellent defense, the Lakers blew up the Knicks in the second half and finally won the 23rd game of the season 124-107.

Bryant had 24 points, 13 assists and 6 rebounds in this game, Whiteside blew up the Knicks, contributing 25 points, 20 boards and 5 blocks, and Antetokounmpo contributed a triple-double of 12 points, 11 boards and 10 assists. As for the Knicks, Jabari Parker contributed 24 points and 6 boards, Ashley 17 points and 7 boards, Fournier 15 points, and Stauskas 11 points. (To be continued.) )
