Chapter 64: The Hulk
"No, this view is wrong!"
Landry looked at the translated text on his phone and immediately shook his head.
"Our previous winning streak was 15 in a row, but it wasn't in one season, and it was a fifteen in a row before Olajuwon won the title, but they only reached the second round that season!"
But even if you calculate it this way, the probability of winning the championship is not small!
Leylin was in Landry's hands, and the computer began to calculate the probability of winning the championship.
Such a childish move directly amused Carl Landry.
The probability of winning the championship is incalculable. Even if the Rockets win the rest of the regular season. It has nothing to do with winning the championship.
After all, the playoffs and the regular season are two different things.
Besides, the Rockets can't continue to win streaks, not to mention the next opponent Celtics, after the end of the game with the Celtics, the Rockets are going to start a road trip, first back-to-back against the Hornets, then after playing the Warriors, and back-to-back against the Suns.
All three opponents are difficult to deal with.
If you don't get it right, you may lose in a row.
"Man, I think we should focus on tomorrow's opponent rather than the probability of winning the championship! Because it's still too far away from the championship, isn't it? Besides, there's a big difference between the playoffs and the regular season! ”
Landry interrupted Leylin's actions word for word.
Listening to Landry's words, Leylin felt that it made sense.
Regular season wins really don't have much to do with the championship.
The playoffs are not the same as the regular season, and Leylin has heard about them many times.
But what's the difference?
Leylin only knows that the format is different, the playoffs are four wins in seven games, and because the teams that enter the playoffs have a chance to hit the championship, everyone will work hard for the championship, so the game will be more intense.
But are there any other differences besides these two points?
Raylin looked at Landry.
"What's the difference?"
Landry shrugged his shoulders, he couldn't answer himself, after all, he was just a rookie like Leylin.
Seeing Landry shrug his shoulders, Leylin could only give up, and perhaps DiCambe could give a more reasonable explanation.
After all, that guy has been messing around in the league for so many years.
After changing into his training clothes, Leylin watched Landry keep jogging there, so he carried the basketball and went to the training gym alone, what he needed to do now was to increase his offensive ability.
A short time later, the rest of the team arrived.
Training also began as usual.
While his teammates were doing tactical training, Leylin followed Sicoma there alone and still practiced turnaround jumpers.
But after a morning of training, Leylin also forgot to ask Uncle Mu about the difference between this regular season and the playoffs.
Instead, I talked to my teammates about the next opponent.
Celt.
Speaking of Celts, one must mention one person, Cardinal Auerbach.
This old man spent his life's work to create a Hulk.
Someone once said this about Auerbach.
In the League's sixty-year history, Auerbach kept the Celts in glory for four decades.
In 1950, Auerbach moved to the Celtics and became the head coach of the Celtics.
In that year's draft, Auerbach selected a black player who was selected to the NBA for the first time ever.
In his first season with the Celtics, Auerbach encouraged his players to play fast break and play aggressively. As a result, at the end of the season, the Celtics had the most assists in the league and set a team-best record of 39-30, which was the first time in Celtics history that the winning record reached 50 percent.
Over the next few seasons, Auerbach further refined the team's offensive system, but neglected the team's defense.
It wasn't until the arrival of Bill Russell that the team's defensive problems were solved.
In the '56-57 season, they managed to win the first championship in team history.
Thus began the path of giants.
After losing to the Hawks in the second year's championship, the Celtics won the league eight years in a row. It has set a record for consecutive championships.
After eight consecutive titles, Auerbach left his position as head coach and became the team's general manager.
Under Russell's leadership, two more championships followed.
With eleven championships in thirteen years, the Celtics became a veritable Hulk.
But in the season after two consecutive championships, with the retirement of Russell and many other players, the Celtics failed to make it to the Finals.
The Celtic dynasty was brought to an end. But after a season of silence, the dynasty is once again on the road to revival.
After five seasons, the team once again stood on the top of the championship.
Finally, with the arrival of Larry Bird, the League officially entered the era of the Black and White War.
In the championship game against the Lakers, it is at a disadvantage.
But in terms of the number of championships, it is far ahead.
But after beating the Rockets led by Sampson and Olajuwon to win the championship in '86, the Celtics have never been able to walk to the championship in more than two decades.
The Hulk is stepping down from the altar!
Especially after '96, the Celtics went from being unable to make the playoffs for six consecutive seasons.
In the end, under the leadership of twin stars Pierce and Walker, they reached the Eastern Conference Finals at 01-02, but ultimately lost to the Nets and missed the Finals.
And this Eastern Conference Finals is also the best result for the Celtics in recent years.
With Walker's departure after one season, the twin stars falling apart, and the Celtics were left to struggle there with Pierce. Barely able to make the playoffs.
But last season, because of Pierce's injury, the team lost 18 in a row and ended up at the bottom of the East.
Not being able to taste the championship for more than two decades made the Hulk determined to rebuild.
In last year's draft, the Celtics obtained the supersonic star through a series of trades, the league's famous shooter Ray Allen, and the core players of the Timberwolves, the league's famous power forward Garnett, and the team's small forward Paul Pierce, forming a triumvirate lineup and officially attacking the championship.
This trade directly turned the Celtics' roster upside down.
The record went from being at the bottom of the East last season to a league-best 53-13 this season.
The Hulk is making a strong comeback.
As for whether he can sit on the throne of the championship, we will only be able to know in June.
The Celtics, who have returned strongly, are indeed a big threat to the Rockets, who have won 22 in a row.
Although Ray Allen's injury against the Jazz caused him to miss this game, the Celtics' offensive power has decreased.
However, as for whether he could defeat his opponent and win 23 consecutive victories, Lei Lin did not get a trace of affirmation and belief in victory from the words of his teammates.
"Twenty-three wins in a row, can't we do it?"
Leylin looked at his teammates and asked puzzled.
It's just that he didn't get an affirmative answer.
On the contrary, when he asked this question, it attracted the attention of all his teammates.
There is surprise, ridicule, of course, yearning, and thoughtfulness.
"Training time is almost up......"
Alerted by the assistant coach, the players left the break room one by one.
Watching his teammates leave one by one, Leylin was a little confused.
"Is the opponent really that strong?"
Thinking about the Rockets' game against the Celtics at the beginning of the season, losing by only four points, Raelin was extremely puzzled.
"Is it really that hard to win?"
With doubts, Lei Lin also walked to the training ground.
