Chapter 889: Popovich Playing Runaway

"The Los Angeles Lakers won by 38 points at home to welcome their thirtieth win of the season, and now they can't stop it"

"Avery Johnson humiliated himself, was humiliated by the Lakers for his pre-game provocation, and won a big victory before the main team came out"

"Kobe Bryant scored another 45 points, averaging 42 points per game, and the battle for the league's scoring title has lost its suspense?"

"The third team in NBA history to win 30 games in a row appeared, and Coach Z said after the game that it will break the record this year"

The Los Angeles Lakers are on a 30-game winning streak of the season after beating the Mavericks on their home court, and are only the third team in NBA history to reach more than 30 consecutive wins, although the Los Angeles Lakers have not broken the Grizzlies' record of 34 consecutive wins.

But there is no doubt that public opinion in the United States has all started to do special topics for the Los Angeles Lakers to break the record from now on, you must know that when the winning streak stays at 20 games and comes to 30 games, it is completely different, even if it is 29 wins and 30 wins, it can be said that every victory of the Lakers in the future is creating history, in this case, naturally everyone wants to be a witness and record of history.

For example, USA Today, which has always been very iron with Zhuang Fei, this media has begun to harass all the Lakers' next opponents very undisciplinedly, such as the Los Angeles Lakers' thirty-first opponent this season, and the San Antonio Spurs, who are also back-to-back opponents at home, it can be said that not only USA Today, but also many media are constantly harassing this team that has come to Los Angeles early.

Obviously, in the hearts of these people, the protagonist of Zhuang Fei and the Lakers is naturally the most important part of all the records. And the other teams that play supporting roles are just as important. In this case. Popovich and his Spurs became the first victims of these people.

Popovich has been in a bad mood lately, that's for sure, especially when he saw that his old rival had gone away, and even more so when he was still fighting with the Timberwolves for second place in the West, and even more so after his elaborate provocative trap in the last game was directly ignored by Zhuang Fei.

In addition to his own temper is not very good, in this case, and then constantly harassed and provoked by these national media, in front of him constantly mentioning the Chinese he hates the most, it can be said that the head coach of the Spurs is also directly hysterical.

"I said it. Don't mention that Chinese in front of me, what kind of person he is you know, I know, the whole world is very clear, does this still need to be asked? ”

"Yes, his team is now challenging an almost impossible task, and like you guys say, every one of their victories will be a legendary record for some time to come, and each of their opponents could be a stepping stone and a footnote to this record and a legend"

"I don't want to be a stepping stone, I don't want to be a footnote to a team, so for me and my team, Coach Z's greatness has nothing to do with us. We just need to make sure we don't want to be a side village for other teams."

"Yes, you're right. In the next game, we will use the will to face the strongest opponent in the regular season against the Lakers, and I think we can build their winning streak to continue. ”

"The Lakers' victory will be over in the next game, and that's all I want to say, we're going to beat the Los Angeles Lakers."

Popovich, who was made angry by these extremely good reporters in the United States, directly issued his own military order in the face of these annoying reporters, and he wanted to play with the attitude of facing the strongest team in the regular season in this game, which can be said to be ready to fight with the Lakers.

And Popovich's statement that he will give his best to deal with the Lakers is just one of the majority of teams in the United States who have stated that they will go all out against the Lakers in the future, and now there are a large number of teams in the United States, and the head coach said that as long as the Lakers' victory continues, they will go all out.

And this is also Zhuang Fei's most helpless point, for many teams in the NBA, some games in the 82 regular season games a year can be given up, and for many teams, the Lakers are one of those games that can be given up, for many teams, the strength of the Lakers team is too strong, so strong that it is almost impossible to win, in this case, it is a very wise choice for some teams to give up this game against the Lakers, anyway, they can't win, It would be better to put all your energy into a winnable game, in which case at least a few of the first 30 wins have been like this.

It can be said that for these teams who have given up the game before, as long as the other teams can't win against the Lakers, they don't have anything to lose, why not do this kind of thing, and in the future, such a thing will not happen.

In this case, if you still lose to the Lakers, then in the next period of time, as long as the Lakers do not lose, these teams that play against the Lakers will all be imprinted as a stepping stone to the Lakers' winning streak of more than 30 or more consecutive wins, and a footnote forever.

In the NBA, no team wants to be a footnote, which is a very shameful thing, like a background player who dunks the crotch of a basketball player, in this case, even if they don't want to fight, then they have to fight.

Because of this, in the coming period, the Los Angeles Lakers will face opponents who are going all out, and these teams that go all out to stop the Lakers' winning streak can cause a lot of problems for the Lakers.

The strength of the NBA does have a hierarchy, and the strong defeat the weak is basically a thing that can be done as long as it is not an accident, but in the same way, even if it is weak, the NBA team is still the NBA team, and when they do their best, the energy that erupts is absolutely immeasurable.

Therefore, Popovich was almost supported by other teams in the United States after releasing these words in the face of the aggressive American media, and almost all teams wanted to organize the Lakers to set records, you know, it is a good thing to be able to set a record, and it is also a very tempting thing to break a shocking record

"These guys can really cause trouble."

In the head coach's office of the Los Angeles Lakers, Zhuang Fei said helplessly with the newspaper in his hand, at this time Kupchak in front of him didn't feel anything wrong, as the old man of the Los Angeles Lakers team, he has witnessed too many such moments, so for him, no matter how much these media are touted, they should be, and the Lakers just need to accept it calmly, and there is no need to be like Zhuang Fei who has been thinking about hiding in the shadows or beating the other party with a stick, this is not done by the aristocracy.

So sometimes, Kupchak has always felt that Zhuang Fei is too childish, and he doesn't have the kind of domineering and extravagance that belongs to the Lakers, but although he knows that this is a habit that Zhuang Fei has developed in those previous teams, he is also a little helpless about this habit that is incompatible with the Lakers.

"Zhuang, with our current performance, even if they say that we can win 82 in a row, you just need to nod your head in agreement" Finally, the Lakers general manager also smiled and said to Zhuang Fei, and after hearing Kupchak's words, Zhuang Fei also smiled a little funny.

On the night of January 7, 2005, the Los Angeles Lakers hosted the Spurs game was an extremely important game, for the Lakers, whether they can create a new winning streak this season The two most important opponents are 31 games against the Spurs and 34 games against the Grizzlies, these two opponents are currently the second in the West and the first in the East, which can be said to be the two strongest opponents of the Lakers in the league at present, and they can beat the Lakers in terms of strength.

In fact, before the start of this game, the madness of the Lakers fans at Staples Arena was also able to show the importance of this game, and they also knew that this game was about whether their team could continue to win.

"Before the start of this game, Popovich and Coach Z did not have any communication, which is rare, Coach Z used to greet each other very politely at home no matter who the opponent was, but now he doesn't look at Popovich, and Popovich on the other side is the same, it seems that the relationship between the two is really bad."

The game was broadcast live nationally from TNT, and Kenny Smith and Barkley in the Staples Arena commentary booth were also happy to see the situation between the two teams as their managers warmed up before the game began, and it was going to be a great game.

Of course, Zhuang Fei did not plan to go to Popovich in this game, although it was a little rude, but it was also necessary, Popovich instigated the little general Johnson to fight with himself in the last game, and before this game, he instigated all the Lakers' next opponents and Lakers in the media to fight to the death, defeating the Lakers who can only make history itself is making history, just like all the teams in the league took defeating the Bulls as the greatest glory, this Spurs head coach with a bad stomach, Zhuang Fei is now hating itchy. On the other side, Popovich is estimated to be in a similar mood to Zhuang Fei.

The starting lineup sent by Zhuang Fei in this game is the regular lineup of the Lakers, there is no doubt at this point, he let the Lakers rest the three elders in the last game for this game, and the Spurs on the other side sent a lineup that surprised Zhuang Fei.

"The Spurs started with Duncan, Hawley, Eric Williams and Ragabel and Kidd, Scola and Parker all on the bench, why is that?" At this time, Kenny Smith was actually a little incomprehensible.

And when this game started, both Zhuang Fei and Kenny Smith understood.

"Isn't this the Timberwolves' run-and-gun tactic?" Zhuang Fei looked at Duncan, who was blocking and dismantling with Kidd in the horn area on the court, and said with some surprise, and at this time, when Zhuang Fei looked at Popovich on the side, he could clearly see this guy snorting coldly.

"This guy is really difficult," Zhuang Fei finally looked at the former Lakers player Hawley, who shot the first ball on the court and also made three points, and said helplessly. (To be continued.) )
