"Championship Promise" - the headline of the sports section of the Los Angeles Times, accompanied by an expression photo of Gu Fei hitting the whistle ball in the first quarter.

The article writes about the game vividly, and finally focuses on the role of Gu Feizhi to the Clippers.

The Clippers, who won the Christmas War, officially improved their winning streak to 32 games, just one step away from the league's all-time record of 33 consecutive wins, and on December 27 they will welcome the 33rd game of the powerful city brother Los Angeles Lakers, and even if they win the Los Angeles Lakers, the Clippers must still accept a physical test, because they need to sit at home to face the equally powerful Boston Celtics back-to-back, Three games in a row against the league's top teams is undoubtedly tough for the Clippers, and David Stern himself didn't expect the Los Angeles Clippers to be the way they are now.

"How nice it would have been for me to put a few underdogs here at Christmas." David Stern muttered to himself in the NBA office in New York.

Thirty-three wins in a row? That's the headline on the NBA's website, and below is the subheadline Winning Streak, which features video clippings of the Los Angeles Clippers' 32 opponents they have won since the start of the season, and the next column is the record? , in this column are the highlights of the Los Angeles Lakers this season and the Celtics' performance this season.

Since the Los Angeles Clippers defeated the Rockets in Houston to claim the second-place streak in the league's all-time winning streak, their biggest challenge is the league's longest 33-game winning streak.

And now the Clippers are still singing all the way to the door of a 33-game winning streak, just one step to reach a 33-game winning streak, and one more step can create new history, although it seems that there is only a gap of one or two games, but everyone knows how difficult it is.

The Clippers' winning streak has been recognized by the media as far stronger than the Los Angeles Lakers back then, you must know that there were only 17 teams in the entire league at that time, and the Lakers had both the "Big Dipper" Wilt Chamberlain, the league logo prototype Jerry West and Goodrich three superstar future Hall of Fame players, and there is now the god operator Pat Riley on the bench, Of the 17 teams, the only team that could stand in the way of the Lakers was the defending champion Milwaukee Bucks, led by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Big Oscar Robinson, who completed a terrifying 33-game winning streak from November 5, 1971 to January 9, 1972, when the Lakers also set the best regular season record at the time - 69-13, until the 1995-1996 season when the Bulls set a new record with a 72-10 record. In the end, the Los Angeles Lakers in 1972 won the championship without any suspense.

Now that it's at the door of the record, the media has begun to interview the participants of the Los Angeles Lakers' 33-game winning streak that year.

Pat Riley, who played as a backup for the Lakers and is now the general manager of the Heat, said, "I don't think records are meant to be broken. The Clippers are a strong team with a balanced offense and defense, they have a full lineup, a lot of key players and superstars, they have overcome too many people to come to the door of a 33-game winning streak, but despite this, it is still difficult to really break the record of 33 consecutive wins, the Los Angeles Lakers and Boston will not easily let themselves be the stepping stones for the Clippers to set the record, I believe that both teams will do their best. ”

At the moment, Pat Riley is more focused on the offseason, and the Miami Heat's salary space has put them in the summer trade market full of competition.

"The Clippers quickly got a 32-game winning streak, and the pace and start was a shock to everybody, and I was one of them, and I said last year when Houston was on a 22-game winning streak that the Rockets were as confident as we were back then, but now it's different from the past, there are too many strong teams, and the challenges they face are significantly stronger than we were back then, so I'm not optimistic about them breaking our record, and now the Clippers everyone knows that they are strong, although the Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics are also strong. But if you're looking for a team that can break our record, I can't think of anything other than the Clippers, and while it feels a little bad to be broken, it's just as good to see a new record being made. Goodrich, who is now a commentator on NBA-TV and one of the Lakers' three superstars at the time, said to the media.

In addition, the Clippers' next two opponents, the Lakers and Celtics, have attracted attention, after all, they are the biggest obstacle on the way to whether the Clippers can win 33 in a row.

"Bryant, it is said that relevant sources have revealed that in order to meet certain needs and play with the Clippers, you will relax appropriately, is there such a thing?" Bryant had just finished training and a large group of reporters surrounded him.

Kobe wiped his sweat, his face full of displeasure, "My professional ethics tell me that I will never do such a thing, and I will work hard to play the game wholeheartedly because of my respect for myself and for them and even for basketball." ”

After saying that, Kobe Bryant pushed away the crowd and walked into the players' tunnel.

"We're still behind the Lakers, so we'll just have to wait and see for now, right? We don't necessarily have a chance to be the key to the Clippers' record-breaking. Celtics head coach Doug Rivers said in an interview with the media.

All eyes across the country are on the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Staples ticket price on the 27th has been speculated to $2,000 on the Internet, which is still the worst seat, and the best seat has been fried to $30,000.

You can tell from the ticket price how much attention this game has.

On the afternoon of 27, when the Clippers' pre-game adaptation training was about to end, Dunleavy and Gu Fei walked to the sidelines, Gu Fei clapped his palms, "Guys, stop the trouble." ”

Everyone looked at Gu Fei beside Dunleavy curiously, they didn't know what Gu Fei was going to do.

"We've come all the way from the offseason to where we are now, an incredible result that none of us even dared to imagine in our lifetimes – 32 wins in a row! This glory belongs to us, it would never have been possible to achieve this result without the efforts of all of us, and now we have reached a critical moment, and I dare say that the other 29 teams in the league are expecting us to lose, expecting us to stop winning, and standing in front of a legendary record We only need to work hard two more games to kick their record and make ourselves number one, Bryant is a proud guy, the Lakers are a proud team, they never looked at the Clippers, And we use the facts to tell them that I exist, now we need to challenge them and what they want to protect is their pride, now what we have to do is to kick out their pride, Los Angeles is not only the Lakers but also the Clippers, I know that the high-intensity game makes everyone very tired, but now we finally stand in front of the record and we have no reason to retreat, let's fight together to the end, okay? ”

Gu Fei's voice hit everyone's eardrums.

"Good!" All the players shouted in unison, in unison and with great momentum, and the sound echoed through Staples Arena.

O'Neill and Wallace looked at each other, and they felt like they were back in the league more than a decade ago.

And last season, it was the Lakers players who made great contributions to the Lakers winning the championship, Odom quietly looked at Gu Fei, Gu Fei was more concerned about Gu Fei when he first entered the league, at that time he felt that Gu Fei had the potential to become the next Kobe, and now he dispelled his thoughts, because Gu Fei is not Kobe but he will be the first himself.

"Gu, do you have anything you want to say about the night game? Bryant says he's going to beat you. A white reporter ran in front of Gu Fei with a microphone.

Gu Fei naturally knew what Kobe Bryant said, "Bryant's words are what I want to say, and playing the game as hard as we can is the greatest respect for us and basketball for them." After speaking, Gu Fei turned around and left.

The game was played at eight o'clock in the evening of Los Angeles time, and just after half past six, a large number of cars in Los Angeles drove towards Staples, and before seven o'clock Staples was already full.

Today's game is the home court of the Lakers, and the Lakers fans on the scene also occupy the vast majority, the fans wearing the No. 24 Lakers jersey are undoubtedly the most eye-catching, and there are not a few fans wearing Gu Fei's No. 1 Clippers jersey.

"I'm not going to show mercy in the game." Kobe Bryant said in Gu Fei's ear.

Gu Fei smiled lightly, "It's not you who stay, isn't it?" ”

Kobe Bryant let go, Gu Fei still had a cold expression on his face, looking at Kobe's back, Gu Fei felt the momentum on Kobe's body, and Gu Fei could feel the difficulty of tonight's game.

Anzu. Bayram is the Lakers' biggest gain this season, with more playing time and continuous growth, this season Bayram is faintly approaching the position of the team's second leader, averaging 16 points, 10 rebounds and 2 blocks per game for the Lakers.

The referee's whistle blew, and Byram and Tyson Chandler jumped to their feet at the same time and headed straight for the basketball.

In the end, Chandler, who was slightly more physical, narrowly touched the basketball, and instead of flying towards Andre Miller, the basketball flew towards the backcourt.

Gu Fei was the player closest to the direction of the basketball's landing point, and he turned around and chased after the basketball.

When Gu Fei's palm just grabbed the basketball, a hand suddenly reached out, and in the face of the hand that suddenly reached out behind him, Gu Fei hurriedly pulled the ball in his hand back.

But he was still touched, the basketball was a little out of his control, Gu Fei didn't want the first data he gained in this game to be a mistake, and he accelerated to chase the basketball, and at this time Gu Fei saw that it was Kobe Bryant who tried to break the ball from behind, and the speed advantage ensured that Gu Fei took the ball back that he almost missed.

Looking at Kobe's eyes, Gu Fei quickly advanced with the ball after stabilizing the rhythm, and Kobe Bryant did not rush to steal, but constantly used his body to interfere with Gu Fei on the side.

When Gu Fei came to the three-point line, the other players of the Clippers were already in place!

Instead of handing the ball to Miller, Gu Fei stretched out his left thumb to signal to his teammates for the following tactics.

Seeing Gu Fei's gesture, the entire Clippers immediately moved, Artest is now the easiest point for other teams to ignore, in today's Clippers Artest's offensive role has become very simple, basically a cold gun, at this time he cut to the Lakers from the right side at 45 degrees, and Rasheed Wallace and Tyson Chandler formed a good cover.

Ariza was obviously unprepared in the face of Artest's sudden acceleration, and when he reacted, he was blocked by Wallace and Chandler on the inside, Gu Fei directly flicked his wrist and the basketball rebounded directly to the bottom left corner, and at the same time, Artest rushed to the ground, and Artest, who formed an empty space, did not waste this opportunity and steadily sent the ball into the basket.
