The Lakers' 35-game winning streak after beating the Jazz is not a surprise, and compared to the Lakers' previous game against the Grizzlies, it can be said that it is an extremely expected victory, as the Los Angeles Times, which is extremely confident in the Lakers before the game, said that the Lakers cannot afford to lose such a game.
So the sensation caused by this game was not as big as the Los Angeles Lakers' home win over the Grizzlies in the last game, and perhaps for many people, this is just the beginning of the Los Angeles Lakers' continued winning streak to set a new record, and the Jazz are just the most basic stone in this new record.
Of course, even if the Lakers beat the Jazz at home is so insignificant, but the victory of the Los Angeles Lakers in this game can still be regarded as a new record set by the Lakers, even if this new record is really just the beginning, and even now more people are staring at the Lakers' 38th game and the Timberwolves, but the significance of this game is still undoubted.
So after this game, Zhuang Fei was still surrounded by this group of reporters at the press conference, although it was not crazy, but it was still intense, and it was also after the game. At least the next day. Almost all newspapers in the United States have only one headline. That is, the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Utah Jazz to set a new winning streak in the NBA.
However, there isn't much time for Zhuang and his Lakers to enjoy moments like this right now, as the Los Angeles Lakers' schedule will get tight after a relaxed schedule in the first half of March, such as after beating the Jazz at home. The Los Angeles Lakers' opponent will be the Warriors on the road, and this game will mean more than just breaking the winning streak he just set.
You must know that this team just changed its coach not long ago, and the former Mavericks head coach Nelson Sr. entered the team, and the old Nelson is a figure who has always existed like a mentor to Zhuang Fei, which is completely different from Zhuang Fei's respect for Tang Shuai or his feelings for other NBA coaches, and the new head coach of the Warriors is Zhuang Fei's teacher.
It's just that although Zhuang Fei has always regarded the old Nelson as his teacher, this NBA mad scientist has never been able to accept it. After all, if there is an apprentice like Zhuang Fei, the pressure will actually be even greater. So Zhuang Fei is also very understanding, but although Zhuang Fei is extremely important to this game, and the old Nelson is also extremely important, it is obvious that the gap between the strength of the Warriors and the Lakers is there, even if the old Nelson is strong, it may be difficult to beat the Lakers, and everyone knows this point, so it is extremely easy for both Zhuang Fei and old Nelson in this game, at least before the game.
"Zhuang, congratulations, the NBA's winning streak, this is something that everyone thought was impossible back then, I didn't expect that this record has been refreshed twice in the new century, and it really feels like a dream," old Nelson looked at Zhuang Fei and said with emotion.
For their generation, the Lakers' 33-game winning streak was a witness, a miracle that was thought to be unsurpassed and impossible to repeat, but now it is not only repeated but also surpassed, although it is said that for any record to be broken, there is no doubt that when a record like this is pushed up here, this kind of impact is definitely not something that the newspaper media can fully show.
Just like everyone thought that it was impossible for human beings to run within 10 seconds in 100 meters, and when this happened, it was not just a record, if it was of great significance to the whole human race to be able to enter less than 10 seconds in the 100-meter race, and even changed the human race, then in the NBA in recent years, when two teams were able to complete the miracle of 33 consecutive wins, which was considered impossible, it means that the current NBA is different from the past.
Maybe this will change the NBA, or the NBA has changed, but no matter what, for the old Nelson, they have a feeling of being a laggard at this time, just like their contemporary's famous coach Wilkens now has lost his famous demeanor after frequent failures, it seems that they are already backwards, especially when Zhuang Fei, a person who has achieved such achievements before the age of forty, makes them think so.
The current NBA still doesn't belong to their old-school coaches, Zhuang Fei doesn't know, but now there are fewer and fewer old-school coaches in the NBA, which is also a fact, in Zhuang Fei's impression in his previous life, the old Nelson was almost the last straw for the old-school coach, of course, it is almost almost completely said, that is because Mark Jackson, who inherited his Warriors head coach, is also an old-school basketball coach, of course, but it is obvious that this is different from the old Nelson.
So for himself, a famous coach who has always been a teacher, lamenting that these people are gradually withdrawing from the stage of history, Zhuang Fei also has no way to comfort him, or say anything else, after all, this is the reality, after all, the NBA is constantly developing, whether it is player 1 or the head coach, it is always changing, which is the inevitable result.
"I think, no matter when, the basketball you represent will not fall behind and will not disappear, just like I have always believed that the center will always be the ruler of the basketball game, even if it seems to be declining now" In the end, Zhuang Fei looked at the warrior coach very sincerely and said, and the warrior coach was stunned at first after listening to Zhuang Fei's words, and then he also laughed after looking at each other with Zhuang Fei.
If the rest of the NBA knew that the creators of the two most terrifying small-ball tactics in the NBA league would be center-based coaches, they would definitely be surprised, but at this time, Zhuang Fei and Nelson Sr. would not care so much.
Of course. For old Nelson. Zhuang Fei's words made him feel a little relieved. Or he recognized Zhuang Fei's words, just like Zhuang Fei said, even if he himself disappeared on the NBA stage, his basketball philosophy will always remain on the NBA court, regardless of whether others have completely inherited it, but there will always be his shadow, and others will also choke to death, in this case like the Cardinal or John Wooden who was a generation earlier than him. Even now, the basketball of these two has not disappeared, so when he figured this out, the Warriors head coach looked at Zhuang Fei with some gratitude.
He's not a person who doesn't think about it, it's just that leaving the Mavericks has kept him very low, and he even feels that it's time to leave, even if he comes to the Warriors, he just wants to give himself a brilliant ending, but now it seems that the Warriors coach is much more relaxed.
Old Nelson's expression is much more relaxed now, which makes Zhuang Fei also a little relieved, maybe he will not have such worries as Old Nelson in the future, but regardless of Jordan's expression when he left the NBA before, but the expression of Old Nelson fantasizing about leaving the NBA before. It's all about making people feel deep pain, if one day they will be like this. So what will he do, Zhuang Fei has never wanted to think about it, and he doesn't dare to think about it, but that was before, and now, Zhuang Fei can face it calmly.
Of course, this game is a game between the Lakers and the Warriors, and the matter of Nelson Sr. and the matter of Zhuang Fei have no impact on this game, and they cannot change the trend and result of this game at all.
The Warriors have been terrible this season, and if it weren't for the fact that this team has been at the bottom of the table, they wouldn't have asked Nelson Sr. to rebuild this team by making him the team's general manager and head coach, which has struggled in recent years.
In order to rebuild, they forcibly sent away the team's boss Szzambiak in exchange for Jamison, and then lost Jamison and Yao Ming for Anthony Walker, and then, lost the team's first-round pick for Fisher, who knew that this first-round pick would actually be the No. 3 lottery pick, and then they lost Paul again, for this team, in the last 6 years, they have been constantly rebuilding.
Although Anthony Walker brought them a short period of fun, there is no doubt that it seems to be a mistake to make Anthony Walker the leader of the team now, and even at this time many people think that if they can keep Yao Ming and Jamison, plus the current Hughes, the Warriors may have risen in the West.
It's just obvious that in the NBA, there is never a place to regret medicine, since this team has made a choice for its future, then it needs to be responsible for its own future, of course, at this time, it is already the old Nelson who is responsible for this team, but it is not a simple thing for the old Nelson to make this team able to stand up again in a short period of time, after all, the old Nelson is not Zhuang Fei.
Although it is difficult to make any miraculous changes in a short period of time in terms of the nature of this Warriors, there is no doubt that this team has indeed undergone some changes after the old Nelson took over, such as the team's offense has become much better, so in this game, the Lakers and the Warriors are fighting against each other, and it is the kind of offensive battle without any defense.
In this game, according to the usual practice, in back-to-back games, Zhuang Fei rested all the Lakers three elders, and the Lakers' starting lineup in this game is also a team with no interior at all, plus the Lakers are not ready to use full-court pressing in this game, so the defense of this team can also be imagined, of course, the Lakers have no defense, and the Warriors have no defense.
In this case, the two teams scored 40-35 in the first quarter, which is not like the first quarter data that the back-to-back teams can play, but in the following games, the Warriors are not as strong as they were in the first quarter, or rather, the team's offense in the next game is not as strong as the firepower in the first quarter.
Of course, the quality of the Warriors' offense is declining as the game progresses, but for the Lakers, an aerial team controlled by Paul, this does not have much effect, so at the end of the half, the Lakers still scored 75 points, and when the game was over, the Lakers' score came to 145 points.
As for the Warriors, the team went from bad after a stunning 35-point blast in the first quarter to score just 106 points in the game. In the end, the team also lost to the Lakers by almost 40 points. And actually. Everyone knows that the Lakers did not do their best, and the Chinese did not play as hard as the Warriors did against the Jazz. So after this game, the head coach of the Warriors, Nelson Sr., was more helpless.
The strength of this Warriors is unimaginable, although he knew when he accepted the Warriors' invitation that this is the team with the worst record in the league, but this team has two star players after all, Hughes and Anthony Walker, and it is only after coming to this team that he found out that this is an illusion.
"Zhuang. Your team is so strong, it's really hard to imagine that you can form such a small team, and this small team can actually play the offense to this extent, if I don't have the right to define the strength of your team, I can judge the offense of your team, this Lakers may be the strongest offensive team I have ever seen."
After the game, Zhuang Fei looked at the head coach in front of him, who he had always regarded as a teacher, and finally shook his head with a wry smile. Although the Lakers' 'bench lineup' has a good offense, it is definitely not the best in history. However, if the three elders played, it might be able to say so, but the key is that the three elders did not play in this game.
So at the post-game press conference of this game, Zhuang Fei did not have a trace of surprise to hear the old Nelson's praise for the Lakers and himself, as long as it can be related to the offense, the Lakers and Zhuang Fei have basically become the best in history in the mouth of the old Nelson.
Although the words of the old Nelson are basically all touting the Lakers and Zhuang Fei, Zhuang Fei naturally does not think that this is the old Nelson praising himself or the Lakers, in fact, this is completely different from Sloan or Popovich's praise.
So Zhuang Fei also kept smiling bitterly on the side, and didn't refute it.
Of course, the final consequence of this is that the day after the end of the game between the Lakers and the Warriors, the media across the United States are touting the Lakers' 36-game winning streak and the best thing in the team's offensive history, which is also what makes the Lakers and Zhuang Fei, who have been very popular recently, go to a new level again.
However, for Zhuang Fei and the Lakers, the current Lakers are hot enough, and they don't care about adding that little bit, so Zhuang Fei is not in the end, and the Lakers players are the same, playing in Los Angeles, this kind of thing is impossible to avoid.
After beating the Warriors on the road, the Los Angeles Lakers are back at home again, and the next opponent of the Los Angeles Lakers is at home against this year's Western powerhouse Seattle SuperSonics, which have been very good in recent seasons, especially since this team is the first team in the NBA to use a variant of the No. 5 tactic successfully.
If the Heat is the first team in the NBA to use the No. 5 tactic successfully, this is because they use Zhuang Fei's orthodox and authentic No. 5 tactics, and the supersonic is because there is no super center, so it has changed, and their final offensive method is not the Heat or Zhuang Fei's team's internal and external considerations, they are more willing to go outside, which is also related to the fact that this team has Ray Allen and Lewis, the two top three-pointers, although at this time, neither Lewis nor Ray Allen are pure shooters, However, it is true that the peripheral attacks of these two have been increasing in recent years.
And in this game, for the Lakers or for many people, the SuperSonics are the team that can pose a threat to the Lakers, and this team is not the Jazz and Warriors before.
For the current Lakers, this team is now refreshing the league's winning streak, so in this case, basically every NBA team is unwilling to lose to the Lakers at this time, after all, losing to the Lakers at this time has really become a stepping stone to the Lakers' winning streak, so many people are willing to see what kind of threat the SuperSonics, a team that is desperate with the Lakers, can pose to the Lakers.
In fact, for this game, Zhuang Fei didn't dare to hold it up.
On January 18, 2005, the Los Angeles Lakers' 37th game of the season, the Los Angeles Lakers hosted the Seattle SuperSonics, and the game was still packed at Staples Arena.
For the Staples Arena, the Lakers' games this season have been almost all full, especially when the Lakers are on a winning streak, as the team has everything that Los Angeles fans love, stars, offense, flash, and wins.
Especially on such a record-setting day, there were fans in the stands of this game who played the slogan of winning the championship with 82 wins. Of course, this is only their good wish.
Although it is impossible for the Lakers to give them 82 wins, the Lakers can give them a good game in this game, and in fact, it is.
Although the supersonic duo of Ray Allen and Lewis teamed up to contribute 68 points in this game, the two of them combined for 14 three-pointers in this game, and the supersonic who worked extremely hard in the game also scored 115 points, which was almost able to win most games, but it was clear that they still didn't win this game, because the Lakers scored 129 points on them, and the team finally lost to the Lakers with a 14-point difference.
After the Lakers beat the SuperSonics at home, their winning streak came to a terrifying 37 games, and their next opponent is the Timberwolves on the road. This Zhuang Fei's former old club. (To be continued.) )
