"It's a big game, and I'm very happy to win!"

After a brief celebration with his team-mates in the dressing room, Leyling followed the head coach to the press conference.

In the face of the reporter's question, Lei Lin's face still showed an excited look.

There were a lot of keys to winning today's game because there were people who stepped up in every quarter.

In the first half, Alston managed to take over the game and help the team to bite the score.

And in the final quarter, Maddie found his touch, and Bobby Jackson's outburst helped the team seal the win.

Of course, you can't ignore Reelin, who helped the team tie the score in the third quarter.

So at the post-match press conference, Leylin was basically the focus.

"Twenty-two consecutive wins, I didn't think about it before the game, every game, the coach just told us to play well!"

"Twenty-three wins in a row? I didn't even think about it. There are more than a dozen games, just take each one seriously! ”

"No. 1 in the West, this position is obviously good for the playoffs, and if we can, we will do our best to stay in this position!"

……

The post-match press conference, which lasted more than an hour, basically became Raelin's personal press conference.

After answering a large number of questions from reporters, Lei Lin dragged his somewhat tired body back home.

The next day, nearly the entire nationwide media was there to report on the Rockets' 22-game winning streak.

From Washington to Los Angeles, from Miami to Portland, all of them were there to evaluate the Rockets' 22-game winning streak.

Although there are praises and doubts, it is undeniable that the Rockets' 22-game winning streak is a real one. Is the second-longest winning streak in league history a reflection of the strength of the Rockets?

At this point, there is an even greater disagreement.

"Victory by Luck, God Stands Over Hugh.

That's the headline for the Los Angeles Times to report the next day on the Rockets' 22-game winning streak.

Columnist Mark Heesler doesn't think the Rockets' 22-game winning streak is indicative of the Rockets' strength.

In his column, he pointed out that the Rockets have basically not encountered much resistance during their 22-game winning streak and have won many games by large scores. The main reason is that the opponent's strength is too weak.

Only a few strong teams still had problems with themselves when they met the Rockets, such as David West of the Hornets who was injured, Nowitzki, the core of the Mavericks, who was suspended, and Gasol, the interior pillar of the Lakers, who was injured.

Mark Hellers said that the main reason why the Rockets were able to achieve the second-longest winning streak in the league was luck.

In contrast to Mark Helles' view of luck, Washington Post columnist Michael Lee believes that the Rockets' ability to win is a role in team basketball.

Throughout the 22-game winning streak, the Rockets have scored five double-doubles for the four, 10 double-doubles for the five, and three double-doubles for the six. What's even more terrifying is that in a game against the Bulls, a total of seven Rockets scored double-doubles.

It was the dispersion of the team's scoring that allowed the Rockets to win 22 in a row.

Of course, there is also a more important point, in every winning game, in addition to the performance of Yao Ming and Maddie, there is always the X-factor that is played by role players.

In the first game against the Warriors, Maddy missed the game due to the flu, and in addition to Yao Ming's 36 points and 19 boards, Hyde's 20 points, and Alston's 17 points and 11 assists were the keys to the victory.

Maddy, who came back in the second game, didn't perform well, but Landry stepped up, and the rookie rookie scored a career-high 20 points to help the team win against the opponent.

In Game 8 against the Kings, Novak, who played seven minutes and grabbed only one rebound, stepped up at the end to help the team beat the Kings and win eight in a row.

If Novak hadn't stepped up, the Rockets wouldn't have won 22 in a row.

In the likes of Hyde, Alstom, Battier, Scola, Leylin, they all stepped up in the most critical moments.

Therefore, Michael Lee believes that the Rockets' current achievements are due to the premise of insisting on team basketball, which stimulates the potential of individual players.

Because every game, every player is basically able to get a shot, so you can recognize who will feel better in this game and who will be able to take on more responsibility.

The Rockets, who have won 22 in a row, have become the pride of Houston, and as the largest circulation newspaper in the Houston area, how can the Houston Chronicle not praise it?

Columnist Jonathan Fagan, in his column, highly praised Adelman, after all, it was he who introduced the Princeton system to the Rockets and brought unexpected changes to the Rockets.

Of course, praise for the players is indispensable, and even some players who can't play at all are praised by Fagan, after all, it also contributes to the unity of the team.

He also praised Morey for bringing in the big man Leylin from Root Park after Yao Ming's injury and playing a very important role in the team.

But for the prospect of the Rockets, Fagan also believes that it is difficult for the Rockets to win, but it is not impossible to win, after all, the Big Three are missing one.

……

"Hey man, what's that going on?"

Arriving at the Toyota Center, Leylin saw Landry reading the newspaper in the locker room.

"There are good and bad! But they think that's the end of our victory. ”

"Why?"

Raylin looked at Landry in surprise.

Just kidding, that's where the victory ends? You know, we just set the league's second-longest winning streak, right?

Leylin couldn't help but think as he looked at the newspaper in Landry's hand.

"Celtic! Our next opponent! They think we can't beat them! ”

Landry knew that Raylin's English was not good, so when he spoke, he basically repeated it several times, using the simplest words to express himself as much as possible.

"No, no, no, look, people in our country think we can win the championship!"

As he spoke, Lei Lin directly took out his mobile phone.

Yesterday he and his teammates created a 22-game winning streak, and Leylin's heart was quite excited.

But because he was really sleepy last night, Lei Lin didn't browse the domestic news after he went back, and after getting up in the morning, Lei Lin still watched the domestic news for the first time.

In fact, what he wants to know most is how these media view him in China.

After browsing**, Sohu, Lei Lin opened Netease Sports again.

An article titled "Rockets Pointing to the Championship" caught Leylin's attention.

In the article, the author first praises Rocket and Yao Ming, Maddie, and Leylin. Then there is a list of teams that have previously had a long winning streak in the regular season, and all of them have won the championship at the end.

For example, the Bulls dynasty led by Jordan once set the best record in team history with 18 consecutive wins, and the result? They created a dynasty.

Another example is the Rockets, under the leadership of Olajuwon, a fifteen-game winning streak, the result? They defeated the Knicks in the Finals to win their first championship in franchise history.

In the 69-70 season, the Knicks won eighteen consecutive victories and won the championship.

In the 70-71 season, the Bucks won 20 consecutive wins and won the championship.

In the 71-72 season, the Lakers won the championship with 33 consecutive wins.

In the 99-00 season, the Lakers won the championship with 19 consecutive wins.

The only one who didn't win a championship and set a winning streak was the Celtics in the '81-82 season, but they still made it to the Eastern Conference Finals.

According to what is said here, why is the Rockets going to the Western Conference Finals!

As for the probability of winning the championship, Lei Lin himself was taken aback, 83.3%!
