Chapter 319: The Strongest Team in History
But no matter how powerful the burning ship is, it is not invincible.
On the 21st, the Lakers beat the Bulls back-to-back. Rose has only played 10 games this season, and the season is reimbursed, and the current Bulls starting lineup is Noah, Boozer, Sun Yue, Dunleavy Jr., and Hinrich. However, it has to be said that their head coach, Tom Thibodeau, is a coach who is very good at specifying defensive tactics.
The Bulls don't have a superstar other than Rose, and Rose is also injured and often reimbursed for seasons. The rest of them are just average stars. It is with these average stars that Tom Thibodeau can bring the Bulls to the playoffs every year, relying on defense.
The Bulls' lineup didn't beat the Lakers, but it did cause problems for the Lakers. Jimmy Butler stepped on Noah's foot while attacking, and although it was fine, he also needed to rest for a week or so.
But on the 24th, when they played against the Heat, the Lakers lacked three big generals, and Wu Di alone couldn't withstand it at all. Otto Porter was restrained by Battier, and Darren Collison was also blown up by Wade, who was later replaced by Wade, who could not prevent Kirilenko from breaking out.
There was a lack of rotation players on the inside, and Wu Di didn't get off the court for a minute. However, he kept following a few muscles in hand-to-hand combat on the inside, and he was also exhausted. If it weren't for the support of one breath, the Lakers would have surrendered a long time ago.
In this game, the fire and even the boat were stunned was not triggered, Wu Di slashed 68 points, and finally became useless.
The Lakers' winning streak came to an end with a 42-game winning streak.
While everyone was amazed, the Lakers' performance wasn't over yet.
Losing to the Heat, the Lakers lost back-to-back to the Magic because they spent too much physical energy. This is the sixth game of the Lakers' away game, and the back and forth is really unbearable.
Fortunately, on the 27th, when playing the Knicks, Klay Thompson and the United Arab Emirates returned.
The Knicks are a strange team, and they don't need to bother too much, and the Knicks, who have two superstars and many stars, are a joke. However, they clearly played a positive role this time and became a helping point for the Lakers to end their losing streak.
On the 29th, the Lakers returned to their home court and once again started a winning streak, beating the Pacers and Bobcats by a big margin.
Wu Di was once again elected as the best player of the month in January, averaging 42.6 points, 15.3 rebounds and 10.2 assists per game. It's just that the best of the month in the East has become Anthony, averaging 28.7 points, 9 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game.
After playing away against the Timberwolves, fortunately, the weather in Toronto reminded the Lakers, and the Minnesota Lakers did not lose their troops, which is really hell, the weather here is even colder than Toronto.
The Timberwolves are underdogs and simply can't beat the Lakers.
The Lakers then went on to win away victories over the Cavaliers and 76ers before returning home to win over the Bulls and Jazz.
On the 14th, the last game before the All-Star break, because the Lakers added too many players to the All-Star, so many people in these games were not on the game. And the opponent in this game is the Thunder, and Durant is very excited and in very good shape because he finally started at the All-Star this year.
As a result, the Lakers lost the third game of the season.
The All-Star Lakers were well attended, and Otto Porter was in the rookie game. Jimmy Butler is going to be in the dunk contest, Klay Thompson is going to be in the three-point contest, Jeremy Lin is going to be in the skills contest, and Wu Di is going to be in the main game.
As a result, except for Wu Di, who was elected All-Star MVP, no one else won the award.
This year's All-Star was in New Orleans, as the Hornets changed owners and the league had to help get the word out.
The Western Conference All-Star starting center was Kevin Love, who overtook Howard in the third round of voting to become the starter. The forwards are Wu Di and Durant, Wu Di used to squeeze Durant down, but this year he squeezed Griffin down. The guards are Harden and Curry, and Harden's starting position was originally Kobe's, but because Kobe Bryant was injured, Harden became a starter. Curry also became a starter because Paul was injured.
The starters in the East are Paul George, James, Anthony, Wade, Irving. Paul George and Owen are both newcomers, which also indicates that others are becoming old men.
The lineup in the West is comprehensively dominant, with more than five starters able to shoot three-pointers, and even Kevin Love has a good three-point shooting rate in the open position.
It's hard to play with such a team, the East starts to fall behind from the start, and every time they have to catch up, it rains three points in the West. In the end, Wu Di was successfully elected MVP with 32 points, 14 rebounds and 12 assists.
After the All-Star break, the Lakers continued to shine, losing only six games until the end of the season, completing a record of 76 wins.
Once again, the Lakers broke their previous record.
Wu Di completed the accumulation of 200 wins and upgraded Lu Bu.
And the Lakers' 76 wins have once again caused heated discussions, and they call this year's Lakers the strongest team in history.
This year's Lakers are indeed the strongest in history, and they easily swept the Grizzlies in the first round.
You must know that this year's Grizzlies are not weak, and the interior line composed of Randolph and Gasol Jr. can be said to be the top in the league. And they also have strongmen like Mike Conley, Tony Allen, and Courtney Lee on the outside. On the bench, veterans like Benno Yodri, Mike Miller, Prince.
But alas, they met the Lakers, who scored more than 120 points in each game and easily defeated the Grizzlies.
In the second round, the Clippers were also swept.
The Lakers have never lost against the Clippers this season, and the same is true in the playoffs. Although the interior line composed of Jordan Jr. and Griffin is also the top in the league, they have a fatal weakness, Jordan Jr. is prone to fouls, and Griffin has no ability to be beaten. Paul was limited by the Lakers' three point guards, and he didn't play very well, especially because they continued to consume Paul's physical strength, allowing him to play about 30 minutes, which couldn't help the team better at all.
In the third round against the Spurs, the Spurs did not have players who could limit Wu Di inside, Duncan was too old, and Leonard was not strong enough. Wu Di blew up the Spurs alone, staged a variety of inside dunks, and the spurs broke out twice and broke out twice, and the other two Spurs felt bad and were also swept out.
In the finals, the Lakers once again shocked everyone's attention, once again winning all four games, winning without a loss in the playoffs.
Although the Lakers only have 16 playoff games, the league has made a lot of money less. But it also brings a benefit to the league, because the league has found a new person comparable to Jordan, which has a greater benefit to promote the NBA.
One of the Lakers' 16 playoff games was consistently high, becoming the most-watched game in each of them breaking history.
