Chapter 314: A New Streak

At the end of the half, Wang Cannon and Kobe Bryant both scored more than 20 points.

Wang Cannon scored 23 points, and Kobe Bryant's score was as high as 29 points, almost breaking the 30-point mark.

The difference is that Wang's cannon has a terrifying hit rate of 80 percent, while Kobe Bryant's hand is also very good, but the hit rate can only reach the early 50 percent.

In the same case of high scores, Kobe Bryant made many more shots than Wang Cannon.

In this way, the gap between the two widened.

Wang Cannon's fewer shots does not mean that the Clippers' total number of shots is less than that of the Lakers, in fact, the interior strength of the two teams is about the same, because of Wang Cannon, the Clippers are better than the Lakers in terms of rebounding, so they are even more than the Lakers in terms of shots.

So the shots saved from Wang's cannon were distributed among the rest of the Clippers.

The rest of the Clippers players, including Paul and Griffin, have pretty good numbers, at least much better than the Lakers' players.

The Lakers have Howard, Nash and Gasol, etc., who are actually not weaker than the Clippers' players in terms of personal strength, but not being weak does not mean that they can play, without the ball, no matter how strong their strength is, they are powerless.

Kobe Bryant occupies a large number of shots, and not everyone is satisfied with nothing.

Gasol has been used to adapting for many years, Nash is old after all, and he has no competitive mind, but the Lakers still have a player who is not too old and is also a superstar.

That man was Howard.

Before coming to the Lakers, Howard didn't expect that he would be so tragic, and when he was in the Magic, he was a well-deserved boss. The entire team's tactical system is built around themselves, and they have the absolute right to shoot, and they can do whatever they want.

But after running to the Lakers, he inexplicably became someone else's little brother. Once when the Lakers begged their grandfather to tell their grandmother to come by themselves, they promised an absolute interior core and regarded themselves as the cornerstone of the future Lakers team. Now it seems. Maybe those words don't count anymore.

What is the inner core of yourself? Is it the core of the inside rebound?

As for the future building cornerstone, just kidding, where is I Howard not the absolute building block?

Now Howard has begun to regret it, is it really a good thing that he chose to go from the Magic to the Lakers in the first place?

What made Howard even more unbearable was that Kobe Bryant always pointed fingers at him.

This is not right, you should not do it, that is not good, you can't do it!

Howard would love to say something to Kobe. Grass, I like it, you bite me?

The regular season lasted for two months, plus the preseason, Howard and Kobe Bryant have been in contact for more than three months, and in these three months, Howard has exhausted his good opinion of Kobe, and all that remains is a bunch of resentment.

When these grievances accumulate and erupt in a Cheng dΓΉ. It's going to be a very strict thing to do.

Of course, for these. Kobe Bryant and the Lakers' uniform team and even the head coach don't know.

The game continued on the court, the duel between Wang Cannon and Kobe, although Kobe scored a little higher than Wang Cannon, but looking at the whole, it was obvious that Kobe Bryant lost.

Bryant was not convinced by this, and he continued to score like crazy after returning from the second half. wants to turn the whole game around on your own, but it has been proven countless times that such a thing as 1v5 is basically impossible, especially against a league powerhouse like the Clippers.

As the defense against Kobe became more and more targeted, Kobe's shooting percentage became lower and lower. The 50 percent shooting rate plummeted to 40 percent, but Kobe Bryant still didn't care and continued to attack as he should.

Finally, Bryant succeeded, and he scored 62 points in this game, becoming the first person to score 60 points at the age of 34. In comparison, Wang's 41 points are a bit bleak. He finally managed to surpass Wang Cannon in this match.

But who cares? Because the Lakers still lost.

Yes, Kobe Bryant scored 62 points, but he was still powerless to stop the Clippers from moving forward like a torrent of steel.

Many people saw Kobe Bryant's 62 points in this game, but there were also more people who saw Kobe Bryant wasting a lot of shots on the court.

Wang scored 41 points and shot 84 percent from the field, while Kobe Bryant scored 62 points and shot 40 percent.

In addition to Wang Cannon, the Clippers also had 5 players score double-doubles, including Griffin's 21 points, while in the Lakers, there are only three double-double players except Kobe, that is, the Lakers' F4 giants, and their scores are pitiful, Nash 10 points, Gasol 12 points, Howard 16 points.

Let's look at the scores of the role players, okay, don't look at it, anyway, the end result is that the Clippers beat the Lakers and snatched the NBA's longest winning streak on top of the Lakers' head.

When the whistle blew for the whole game, the Clippers fans in the stadium celebrated as if they had won the NBA championship, and the scene was simply scary, even if the Clippers really won the NBA championship, it would be nothing more than that.

But if you think about it, there are NBA championships every year, but there is only one record of the longest winning streak in the league, and the gap between the two is still quite large.

Like the Clippers fans, the Clippers players hugged each other excitedly at the first moment.

"We made it! We really succeeded! Griffin yelled like a child, and in the team, he was just 23 years old, and he was indeed a child, "We are the kings of the universe!" We are invincible! ”

Wang Dacang also laughed happily, although there is no system reward for this kind of record, but it is also a happy thing to create such a record with his teammates.

Compared to the celebration scene of the faster ship like a sea of joy, the Lakers and Lakers fans are much more gloomy.

At the moment of the end of the game, Kobe Bryant walked back to the locker room without saying a word, just like he had lost before, and the faces of Howard Nash and others were not particularly good-looking. Although they only came to the Lakers this season and have no feelings for this team, the situation now is not just emotionless.

Because they have become the best background picture of the Clippers' history, no one would be happy to do this kind of thing, let alone a superstar like them?

Think about it, Howard. A superstar like Nash naturally came to the Lakers for the championship, because when they are combined, they are an incomparably tough team.

But now the result is that the Lakers they went to are constantly struggling with how not to lose, and what's more, they have to personally send the Clippers, their rival in the same city, to the throne of the league's longest winning streak!

There is no doubt that this incident will definitely be a laughing stock. Being ridiculed incessantly and repeatedly.

What made them feel even worse was that Kobe Bryant did not react at the press conference again.

It's still a rehash of the old thing, and it's still a word without scruples.

"We still lost, I did my best in this game, but I still lost, I don't understand what's going on, the overall strength of our Lakers should not be weaker than the Clippers. Why did we lose so lightly? Personally, I think it's our own reasons within the team. It's very frustrating that some players can't help me effectively on the pitch because no one can play against a whole team on the pitch. ”

Although Kobe Bryant didn't understand what he said, everyone understood the meaning of the insinuation.

He still blames his teammates for not having a good role to play to help him.

Kobe's words obviously angered many people, although Kobe Bryant's status in the Lakers is very high, but there are still people who sing opposite to Kobe. That's Howard, who has endured Kobe Bryant for a long time.

"I feel depressed, really, this game is no, it shouldn't be a game, it's a reality show. A one-man reality show, many of us spend more time on the field watching someone attack non-stop. Howard said with a distressed and innocent expression: "I have the ability to help the Lakers attack, and I have the ability to put the basketball in the basket, but I rarely get the ball in the whole game, and most of the time, I keep running back and forth on the court, running back and forth with my three teammates who are also struggling." ”

"So, I'm like saying, the game is really not a one-person thing, it's useless to just keep playing alone on the court, and the team's record won't get better because of it, and I'm starting to regret it a little now, whether coming to the Lakers is the right choice."

Hearing Howard's words, the reporters immediately became excited, the invisible verbal battle between Howard and Kobe Bryant was not the point, the key was that Howard's last sentence was too intriguing.

"I'm starting to regret whether it was the right choice to bluff people."

You know, although Howard came to the Lakers, the contract is still the Magic's contract with a player option, if Howard is willing, he can jump out of the contract directly next season and go to any contract he wants, and the Lakers who traded Bydam for Howard will also be beaten because of this.

For a while, all kinds of gossip about Howard began to emerge in an endless stream, and many teams were rumored to have secret connections with Howard, and Howard's next home next season began to become confusing.

However, what Howard will choose and whether he will go to other teams does not make any sense to the Clippers, because the Clippers' roster is already quite perfect, even if Howard wants to come to the Clippers, the Clippers will not trade some players to free up salary space.

So, the Clippers weren't interested in it at all.

After breaking the Lakers' 33-game winning streak and creating a new 34-game winning streak, the whole Clippers team seemed to have completed some kind of mission, and all of them suddenly relaxed, including Paul Griffin, the core of the team, who seemed extremely lazy.

Except for one person, that is Wang Cannon.

"Damn, why are you doing this? Are you satisfied with a 34-game winning streak? Looking at these guys, Wang Cannon shouted a little depressed.

"Isn't 34 consecutive wins enough?" Griffin looked at Wang Cannon incredulously, completely unaware of what this guy was like.

"Of course not enough!" Wang Dacang said as a matter of course, "Think about it, since we have the ability to break the Lakers' record of 33 consecutive wins, it is also possible for someone to break our record of 34 consecutive wins after a while, I think it is the safest." It is to continue the winning streak, and it is only safe to reach 40 or 50 consecutive wins. ”

"I'm dizzy!" Not only Griffin, but the entire Clippers team was dizzy.

"I say, dear king, you're thinking too far, aren't you? We've just broken the record, so there's no need to start thinking about someone else breaking our record right now, right? Paul said helplessly.

"It's called planning ahead!" Wang Cannon said, and at the same time began to tempt his teammates. "Don't you think it's cool if we set the longest winning streak for zΓ o to be a streak that no other team can beat?"

"It's cool, but we can't die for the sake of coolness, right?" Matthews, who has a more stable personality, shook his head and said with a smile: "The tense competition during this period of time has brought our physical fitness to a very tense state, and I am afraid that if we continue like this, our physical strength will not be able to hold on and completely collapse." While it's tempting to continue your winning streak, we can't just ignore the more competitive playoffs. ”

"That's a problem." Wang Cannon nodded and frowned. Although it is still the regular season, the winning streak is not the same as an ordinary game after all. In every game, the players have to go through a lot of pressure, and in order not to lose, the momentum of desperate work on the field is also quite serious, which is indeed more consumed than ordinary regular season games.

After 34 consecutive high-intensity games, the entire Clippers team is close to the point of collapse, especially after completing the overtaking of the Lakers' 33-game winning streak, their tense hearts are even more difficult to persevere.

"So be it. You can fight as you want, as long as you can stay in a normal state. I'll take care of the rest of the game. Wang Cannon said after thinking about it.

The Clippers' players looked at each other and didn't know what Wang Dacannon meant, but they quickly understood, because in the 35th game of the Clippers, against the Warriors, Wang Dacang showed a completely different side than before.

this game. Wang Cannon is completely deadly, he dominates the Clippers' offense on the court, and has become a super gate for the Clippers' interior defense.

In the past, although Wang Cannon also served as both offense and defense, it was also selective. Like a lot of defense, even if Wang Cannon can actually catch up, but because the distance is too far to catch up, the physical energy consumed is too great, and many times he will choose to give up.

But now it's different, in the 35th game with the Warriors, Wang Cannon has almost reached the state of fighting for every ball.

That's right, it's every ball counts.

He tried his best to defend every player who broke through, even if that player was far, far away from him. Fight for every rebound, even if the opponent has already taken the basketball into their arms.

Wang Cannon's serious attitude of fighting for every ball made his physical consumption rate extremely huge, and he had no choice but to rest due to physical reasons when more than half of the game was played in the third quarter.

At this time, the difference between the Clippers and the Warriors was already more than 20 points.

Wang Cannon's life-like appearance looks at the hearts of the Clippers players, and they all feel very uncomfortable.

They didn't expect that Wang Cannon, who usually seemed to be very arrogant and didn't care much about anything, would be so desperate in the face of a winning streak that was already his team's own, even to the point of not hesitating to do anything.

Now that Wang Dacang is physically exhausted, and they have also established a 20-point point difference, even if they are heartless, they are not willing to let Wang Dacang waste the score advantage that he has built up under almost every goal.

So, when Wang Cannon didn't play in the fourth quarter, the Clippers still firmly maintained their 20-point advantage and won the game again.

The Clippers' winning streak turned into a 35-game winning streak, and all the talents were stunned to find that the Clippers, who seemed to have broken the Lakers' 33-game winning streak, had not finished their performance! They want to keep winning!

At this moment, the entire alliance suddenly became panicked.

No one knows exactly how far the Clippers can go, but looking at the current situation, even if some people say that the Clippers can win 82 consecutive victories, no one will believe it!

The Clippers are just terrifying! Who can stop him?

There are even many people who have begun to think that this year's championship is no longer in suspense, and the team that can win 35 consecutive games is crazy. How is it possible to lose in the playoffs?

Under the watchful eye, the Clippers continued their winning streak without stopping.

In the 36th game, the Clippers played against the Mavericks at home, and it was still Wang Cannon, or that state of fighting for every ball, and even the Mavericks players were moved by Wang Cannon.

Nowitzki in a post-match interview. All showed respect and reverence for the attitude of the king cannon competition.

"I didn't know much about Wang Dacang before, even if we fought several games in the finals, even if we met many times in the regular season, I didn't know what kind of person Wang Dacang was. However, this game gave me a very deep understanding of Wang Cannon. Nowitzki said with a serious face, the German has always been quite rigorous, "He is a real professional basketball player, and his professionalism makes me feel ashamed, look at his state on the court, right?" He can even pounce off the court many times for an ordinary serve. Don't take care of your own body, just to save the basketball. ”

Nowitzki's words caused a lot of repercussions, because Wang Cannon's reputation in the league has always been very average, because he is open-mouthed, there are not a few people who are guilty, and there are only a handful of people who are willing to say good things for him, but they can't object to one thing, that is, Wang Cannon's desperate attitude on the court in recent games.

Game against the Mavericks. The Clippers were in a crisis for a while, because after all, the mental and physical pressure of the Clippers players had accumulated quite a lot of weight. Although the Mavericks are no longer one of the best teams in the league, this game is still quite difficult.

The game continued until the end of the fourth quarter, and the scores of the two teams were still tied.

Wang Cannon was the same as the previous game in the third quarter, and he went off the court to rest because of physical exhaustion, but in the fourth quarter of the game, he still gritted his teeth and continued to play. At the critical moment at the end of the fourth quarter, Wang Cannon pounced out of the court twice in a row to save the ball, and converted two almost mortal dead balls into the Clippers' offense, successfully saving the game from danger.

Two saves. Wang Cannon fell to the floor fiercely, and even smacked his forehead on the corner of the audience seat for the last time, directly carving his head and bleeding. But after the king cannon only bandaged it slightly, he re-entered the game, and then faced Nowitzki's final kill, successfully completed the block, and stopped the Mavericks' final counterattack.

It can be said that this game is another typical case of Wang Cannon reversing the entire battle situation by himself.

Wang's crazy appearance has made him more and more famous in the league, and many people have begun to compare him to Jordan in his prime.

As the head coach of the Clippers, Nigro is quite worried about the state of Wang Cannon.

As a head coach, Negro naturally can't be like ordinary fans, just think about some superficial issues and make hasty things, he needs to consider many, many aspects, Wang Cannon's wanton squandering his physical energy and squandering his physical talent, in Nigro's opinion, is already a pretty stupid thing.

This alliance has never lacked geniuses, nor has it lacked those super-perverts who can be called aliens, but only a small part of these people can be famous, and this is because talent is a thing that can be used badly and will be problematic.

There are too many so-called geniuses, because they squander their talents without scruples, and in the end, everyone becomes one of the thousands of people.

Negro didn't want Wang Cannon to be one of those tragic figures, so he felt that it was necessary for him to discuss this very strict issue with Wang Cannon alone.

Negro didn't know that what he was worried about didn't mean anything to Wang Cannon, because don't look at Wang Cannon's tiredness on the field every day like a dog, but what it consumes is only a replacement body after the system is counted, and it has nothing to do with Wang Cannon's real body, no matter how hard Wang Cannon squanders it, there is no problem at all.

Of course, if one day, the system disappears, or doesn't work, then Wang Cannon's state is similar to that of those geniuses who squandered their talents. (To be continued......)
