Chapter 324: Breaking the Historical Record, the Best Era of the NBA!

The Cavaliers arrived in Oklahoma on the morning of the latest news from Chicago:

The Bulls lost to the New Orleans Hornets on their home court.

After this loss, the Cavaliers officially overtook the ranking and became the new No. 1 in the East.

Of course, at this time, for this team and the media and fans of the entire league, it doesn't matter whether it is the first in the East or the first in the league.

The most important thing now is ......

Can they break the longest winning streak in NBA history?

The Cavaliers, who arrived in Oklahoma, are now on a 30-game winning streak.

There are three games left to tie the all-time record, and four games to break the all-time record.

Seeing that the record is getting closer and closer, the volume of coverage about the Cavaliers is completely dominant.

Even Kevin Durant's encounter with Li Wan again has not been mentioned by the media for the time being.

You know, this is the first time the two have met in the arena since Kevin Durant's injury last year.

It's been almost two years since the last time they went toe-to-toe on the pitch.

Kevin Durant, who was originally less concerned about himself because the league was paying less attention to him, saw that before this game, the discussion was still "whether the Cavaliers can continue to win", and he was holding back the fire in his stomach at that time.

Before entering the stadium, he shouted in the locker room: "Guys, let's stop this topic!" It's time for it to end! ”

As soon as he shouted, everyone's eyes were blazing.

It's not that Kevin Durant's voice shouted out their fighting spirit, but that they coveted to become "the guy who won the sniper knights".

Kevin Durant's words belong to their hearts.

Of course, their echoes fell on Kevin Durant's ears, and it was another taste:

We're so prestigious!

Looking at the brothers' posture of "working together" with him, Kevin Durant immediately became more confident.

There's such a bunch of brothers here, and tonight's game, I'm going to win!

"Let's make the headlines of tomorrow's papers, it's big business, guys!" Donovan, who just arrived this summer, also deliberately poured a bowl of "chicken soup" into the Thunder's starters before the start of tonight's game.

Now, the Thunder team is more powerful.

The big screen on the scene gave the starting list on both sides at this time:

"Thunder: Westbrook at No. 1, Dion Waiters at No. 2, Kevin Durant at No. 3, Imbaka at No. 4, Enes Kanter at No. 5;

Cavaliers: No. 1 Levan, No. 2 Joe Johnson, No. 3 Wiggins, No. 4 Chris Bosh, No. 5 Adams; ”

Compared with the enthusiastic Thunder, the Cavaliers are no different from usual. However, the light in this eye seems to be even better than that of the Thunder team.

And no wonder......

The Cavaliers know exactly what they're going through, and what kind of sensation they're going to make if they do.

So, even if Tyronn Lue doesn't deliberately say anything, the momentum of the Cavaliers will only get stronger!

Because......

It's never been a great time to make a mark on NBA history!

Even, in a sense, something more glorious than winning the championship......

After all, if you were to name who the 1974 championship was, you might have to flip through the records, but if you were to tell who made the league's longest winning streak now.

As long as you are a fan who knows a little bit about the NBA, you will immediately say that it was the Lakers' 33-game winning streak that year!

And now, they have a good chance of breaking that record and becoming the next "NBA's longest winning streak" that fans will immediately say.

The idea of winning on both sides was particularly strong, and the game was extremely intense from the start.

At 1 minute and 34 seconds in the first quarter, Chris Bosh and Yin Baka, in order to compete for rebounds, directly came to a "roll on the ground".

The strength of the scramble can be seen.

Probably because the confrontation was too intense, the shooting percentage of both sides was very low at the beginning of the game, and the first quarter was almost over, and the two sides had just fought 20-20.

If you don't know this, you think you've gone back 10 years overnight!

Li Wan took the lead in stepping up, using a three-point shot after blocking and dismantling, and then a "European step" layup, scoring 5 points in a row to help the team open up a 6-point difference.

As soon as Kevin Durant saw that Li Wan began to exert his strength, he immediately opened firepower, faced Wiggins, directly came to a three-point shot, and then scored a floating mid-back jumper.

The difficulty is greater than the other, but it is really good to watch.

The atmosphere of the scene is obviously different.

"It's soaring! This game is good~"

Director Zhang was so excited that he "rubbed his hands with flies".

He is a person who likes to watch the most, which is the confrontation of this kind of star showing his personal ability.

Although he often talks about tactics......

Well, that's reasonable~

But even Director Zhang didn't expect that Li Wan and Kevin Durant's firepower never decreased, but became more and more powerful.

Kevin Durant scored 17 points alone in the second quarter, Li Wan was slightly better, scoring 23 points in a single quarter, Kevin Durant felt good, and Li Wan had a "nerve knife" attack;

At halftime, Kevin Durant's individual score came to 25 points, and Lee Wan came to 30 points.

"These should be the two guys with the strongest scoring ability in the entire league, right?"

Drexler watched the two of them score sharply, and his eyes were full of shadows of when he was fighting Michael Jordan.

Buckley......

That's what I thought too!

Watching Kevin Durant and Li Wan fight each other, his mind is full of his own rivalry with Michael Jordan back then.

Kenny Smith said: "Stephen Curry's offensive firepower this season can actually be compared with them......

It's just that the way is a little wrong, Kevin Durant and Li Wan are proficient in all kinds of "18 weapons".

Stephen Curry's singles ability is there, but it is an indisputable fact that he is a little more efficient in the system, and the reason is very simple, the physical fitness is indeed a little worse.

However, this makes his three-point shooting even more indicable......

These two people looked at Biao stupidly a bunch of old commentators, but Kevin Durant himself was not very happy when he saw this data, because ......

His half-time score was actually less than Li Wan's?

This!

How is this possible?

He has always scored a small amount of points against Li Wan.

Kevin Durant immediately got even more into the game in the third quarter.

The effect was also outstanding, and in the third quarter, he scored 18 points in a single quarter, and this time, as he wished, his single-quarter firepower surpassed Li Wan. Li Wan "only" scored 14 points in the third quarter, four fewer than him.

It's just that......

Although Li Wan's scoring firepower in the third quarter was not comparable to him, in the fourth quarter, Li Wan was still able to contribute 14 points in a single quarter.

Compared to him, Kevin Durant was far behind, and he only scored seven points in the entire fourth quarter......

Only Li Wan scored half of the points in a single quarter in the fourth quarter.

It was also he who failed to continue to bite Li Wan's scoring speed in the fourth quarter, and the Cavaliers opened up a point gap with the Thunder during this period.

In the end, the Cavaliers defeated the Thunder by 116 to 103, a 13-point difference.

Got their 31st straight win.

Li Wan and Kevin Durant's stats freeze.

After playing 4 quarters, Li Wan scored a total of 58 points, in addition to 12 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals and 1 block;

Kevin Durant scored exactly 50 points, plus seven rebounds and four assists;

In the whole data, the gap between the two people is not very large......

After the game, the commentators of this game also gave full affirmation to the "07 Heroes".

Kenny Smith unconsciously clapped his hands and shook his head, with a bit of aftertaste on his face, and spit out one word: "Absolutely!" ”

Drexler also took a deep breath, he had to admit that his rivalry with Michael Jordan was still a little worse than the "king to king" between Li Wan and Kevin Durant tonight.

As for the difference......

Ahem, ahem!

"Wonderful, wonderful, enjoyable!" Chris Webber was also clapping, he hadn't seen such a "star vs. biao" for a long time.

In this era of paying more and more attention to teamwork, the confrontation between Li Wan and Kevin Durant makes him feel like drinking ice in dog days, which is called a "cold heart, flying heart"!

This competition, he has to watch it as a member!

Kevin Durant looked at this data with an unwilling face.

He knew very well that the reason why this game would be lost was in the fourth quarter, and the fourth quarter was ......

His physical strength is insufficient!

Since last season's season was reimbursed, he feels like he's exerting more energy than usual, especially when attacking with the ball in a row, and he feels like he's exerting a lot more energy than he used to.

Just like tonight, the continuous shooting in the first three quarters made his entire physical energy deplete very quickly.

In the fourth quarter, he gasped for breath, although there was also the factor of Li Wan and Wiggins, but Kevin Durant felt that it was more due to himself.

If this fitness problem has always existed......

Kevin Durant subconsciously glanced at the rest of the Thunder's stats:

Westbrook had 25 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists, shooting 41% from the field, worthy of a 40% shot, but had five turnovers.

The reduction of the "three-second zone" also had a big impact on him, the most obvious effect being that he was significantly more mistaken in the mid-range ...... "Turtle" was weakened to a certain extent.

Now also gone James Harden......

Kevin Durant's face grew more solemn as he brood.

Because he found ......

His dream of defeating Li Wan is becoming more and more distant!

However, what is even more annoying is that he feels that he has also been promoted to the extreme, and he really can't improve anymore......

Looking at Li Wan, who was high-five with his teammates on the opposite side, he walked into the tunnel of the away team's players with infinite scenery.

For a moment, Kevin Durant was a little unsure of what his next path should be......

Before this game, he had always believed that the media stopped praising them because of his own season-long injury that made them forget their dominance on this stage.

But now it seems......

It seems that he has really fallen behind from the top sequence of this league!

Be......

Is it?

Kevin Durant incarnated as a "thinker", and Li Wan was also surrounded by reporters in the players' tunnel.

It was a good game, and the matchup between him and Kevin Durant was enough to cut out a set of "top 10 balls". And after winning against the Thunder, the Cavaliers' winning streak also came to 31 consecutive wins!

"There are 2 more games, 2 more games, brothers, think about how we got to this point, we have persevered for so long, and then we will hold on to the last 2 games, no, 3 games, and we will be it!"

On the plane back to Cleveland, Taryn Lue made a special speech.

He analyzes the pros and cons at hand......

The biggest piece of good news is that the next two games will be against the same opponents they have easily beaten before, including the Bulls, who have won by 17 points without Chris Bosh!

"This time, try to beat them for 20 points, no, 30 points!"

Under the light of the cabin, Tyronn Lue's face turned red, as if he had just drunk wine. There was still a beautiful smile on his face, and the smile was so beautiful that he was about to bubble up his nose.

With his shouting, the atmosphere of the scene was also very warm.

This is the current Cavaliers, who dare to think and do, and they are indeed capable. Gradually, there has been a little more sharpness that I didn't have before. To put it bluntly:

This is when a team succeeds at its best!

The reason why Li Wan did not give up the pursuit of 33 consecutive wins lies in this.

The 33-game winning streak is a test for this team.

In this training, as long as the Cavaliers clear the customs, they will be able to complete the transformation from a championship-level team to a championship-level team!

Seriously, there is no shortage of "championship blood" in this team, especially after the return of Chris Bosh, plus Leewan, Kwame Brown and Wade...... All four of them are people who know what it's like to be a champion!

What they lack is to experience some big scenes together.

Last year's "Eastern Conference Finals" was a big scene, and now chasing 33 consecutive wins is also a big scene.

Only when the "champion bloodline" and the big scene are complete, this knight team can be regarded as truly cultivated!

There are only 3 games left......

Thinking of this, even Li Wan's eyes were a little more moved.

There is also good news for the Cavaliers, who will play their next two games on their home court, and it will be these two games that will be the two toughest opponents to play.

The Clippers and the Bulls are both top-four teams in the East and West.

However, judging by the results, the Clippers are a little easier to deal with than expected.

Perhaps also because of their style restraint, the Cavaliers' ability to lock up Dragic and leave them without a proper playmaker on the perimeter is enough to slow down the team's tempo and even become chaotic.

One more point......

Two points can't do three.

Although three points are more difficult than two. But the problem is that the Clippers have a backcourt of Dragic and JJ Redick, and it doesn't defend either!

The Cavaliers rained down a three-point rain in this game.

From Levan to Chris Bosh hit at least 2 three-pointers......

This is also the biggest improvement for this team since Chris Bosh's return.

When four players who can hold the ball and shoot three-pointers are standing on the court, this offensive space, not to mention how comfortable it is.

Let's just say Adams, who received the ball in the "three-second zone" and had at least two or three offensive lines, and all of them had plenty of room to attack. Because often when he gets the ball, there is only one defender left to face, and his advantage in height, reach, and tonnage is unmistakable......

It's a pity that he won't play on his back, otherwise, Li Wan and Lewis's "No. 1 and No. 4 position" blocking and dismantling cooperation back then would be able to reappear in the rivers and lakes!

115-103, the Cavaliers didn't win much, and in the end they only won by 12 points.

But the game never narrowed to single digits after the Cavaliers stretched the margin to double digits for the first time in the first six minutes of the first quarter. It can be seen how easy the Cavaliers suppressed the Clippers in this game.

"With a 32-game winning streak, the Cavaliers are one step closer to the record!"

"There are still 2 games left, and the historic moment is just around the corner!"

"With a 32-game winning streak, the Cavaliers haven't lost a game since January 5th!"

……

The field is even drier!

Cleveland's fans in particular were thrilled.

They thought this season, when they were most excited, when they finally won the O'Brien Cup. I didn't expect that these guys from the Cavaliers would give them such a big job after entering the New Year!

Before the Bulls and Cavaliers game, Yang Yi and Wang Meng led the team to Cleveland, standing outside the Quick-Loan Arena, looking at the delighted Cavaliers fans, Yang Yi said: "I don't know what it will be like when Cleveland wins the championship, because none of this has happened yet, but now, I must say that this is the best era for the Cavaliers, at least in my opinion, this has surpassed the past when the Cavaliers entered the Finals, including the time when the Cavaliers entered the Finals in 07......"

It's really lively!

Wang Meng later recalled all this he saw that day: "It's like the New Year!" ”

No wonder they're so excited.

If the Cavaliers win this game against the Bulls, then they will tie the Lakers' longest winning streak.

And the next game against the Kings is at home in Sacramento, and Cavaliers fans are destined to not see the Cavaliers break the longest winning streak in history.

Since I can't witness it with my own eyes at that time, I naturally have to vent it well tonight.

However, it can be seen from the momentum of the Bulls during their pre-game warm-up that they clearly did not intend for the Cavaliers to tie the all-time record so smoothly.

They......

It's rushing to smash the field!

"I believe that we have the strength to do such a thing!"

Although the Bulls were overtaken by the Cavaliers in the first place in the East, they are not far behind in the number of wins they are now behind, only one game behind.

Is such a gap called a gap?

It's called ...... Negligible!

Since everyone's record is about the same, the level should be about the same; Since the level is about the same, it means that there is a fight tonight!

Some hit, so how can you easily get your wish?

Can......

They underestimated the momentum of this Cavaliers at the moment!

Equaling the "best record in history" just tonight, the Cavaliers are more like bulls, and they are still in heat.

And the Bulls look like they're holding a red cloth in their hands...... The Cavaliers only want to do one thing now, and that is to bump into him, hit him on his back, and turn on all fours!

Knock out a piece of history that belongs to the Cavaliers!

So......

As soon as the game opened, Li Wan opened his bow and arrows on the outside and fired the first shot of "kicking over the Bulls" tonight with a three-point shot. The Cavaliers then defended as a team, causing the Bulls to make turnovers. Holding the ball, Li Wan pushed the counterattack, scored another 2 points, and the difference instantly came to 5-0.Thibodeau hesitated to call a timeout, and the Cavaliers, who successfully defended here, cooperated on the outside, Joe Johnson hit a three-point shot, and even caused a foul on Jimmy Butler......

3 plus 1!

The scene exploded directly!

By the time Thibodeau reacted and was about to call a timeout, the clock was already 5 minutes and 13 seconds into the first quarter, and the Cavaliers went on a 17-5 scoring run, and the game was over as soon as it began.

In the end, the game was over, and the Cavaliers sparked all the way with lightning and cut a hearty victory.

122 to 102!

The Cavaliers won by 20 points on their home court!

"Historic moment, let's congratulate the Cavaliers on tying the NBA's all-time longest winning streak with 33 straight wins, and they did it!" Bill Wharton was thrilled and emotional.

At first, he chose to "believe", but his heart was not so sure.

At this moment, it still feels incredible to see the Cavaliers really play the longest winning streak in NBA history with 33 consecutive wins.

"These guys have done an amazing thing!"

Of course, there's one more amazing thing to do, waiting for the Cavaliers guys to complete.

That's ......

Break a 33-game winning streak!

Create a new legend!

The league has long changed this game between the Cavaliers and the Kings to a "national live broadcast". At the same time, publicity efforts have been intensified. And a dedicated interview was arranged.

The main members of that Lakers team that year were: Jerry West, Wilt Chamberlain, Gail Goodrich......

They are all "antique" level celebrities, and Chamberlain died as early as the end of the 90s......

The league had these people record a video congratulating the Cavaliers, and they also arranged tickets for the on-site spectators.

In terms of "inheritance", NBA officials have always done a better job.

It is also because of the heritage that there will be this increasingly glorious NBA era.

It is worth mentioning that "Baylor" is also one of the members of this 33-game winning streak Lakers.

However, he only played 9 games before retiring.

Because he really can't stand the marginalization of his team's status, and he doesn't want to "hug his thighs" to win a championship......

He would rather regret than compromise.

This was the backbone of that generation of basketball people.

It's like 10 years later in the NBA, this ball hasn't been played for a few years, so they hugged the group first, and even some people hugged one after another, probably losing too much in the finals after hugging, and said that they had not been in the super team......

I don't know who brought it up first!

The Kings team of players looked at the different scene, obviously a little nervous, which can be seen from their pre-game warm-up, they are all nervously shooting back-to-back, and there is almost no communication between each other.

Compared with the Cavaliers on the other side, it can be said that the sense of youth is unmistakable.

is also a comparison between the two sides, which is enough to see the progress of the Cavaliers in the past two years.

Naturally, such a team can't stop the Cavaliers from making history.

While the Cavaliers didn't get off to a good start tonight, the Kings also didn't find the basket in their opening shots. Even after the Cavaliers gradually adjusted, the Kings still haven't regained their bullseye.

At the end of the first quarter, the Cavaliers smoothly opened a 10-point lead.

When the score was in double digits, Barkley looked at each other with Kenny Smith and O'Neal, and they knew it was done!

Li Wan......

led the team to create a new "legendary story"!

This will undoubtedly make his career even more legendary.

By the third quarter of the game, the score difference had reached more than 18 points, and the game was actually in "garbage time".

If it was in the past, at times like this, it would have been necessary to get rid of a few Kings home fans. But tonight, the crowded crowd did not leave the seats until the end of the fourth quarter.

Not only did I not leave the table, but the atmosphere was very good.

Many fans brought cameras tonight to record this historic moment.

109 to 91, this is the final score of this game.

By the last 5 minutes, the two sides had actually stopped playing, and they were both attacking and attacking on the field, playing randomly and killing time. As the final whistle blew, Wiggins, who was holding the ball, happily held the game ball in his hand, walked towards Li Wan, and handed it to him, with a smirk, as if to say: "Brother, here you go!" ”

The group of legends who were present tonight also walked straight towards Li Wan and congratulated Li Wan one by one, breaking the record set by them that year.

Back then, when they did this, they didn't think there would be any team that could do something like this again......

As a result, and it was, from 72 years to 40 years...... The league's longest winning streak has not even reached 25, let alone 30.

Such a long span actually shows how difficult it is to break this record.

So now, 44 years later, looking at the record-breaking Li Wan and the Cavaliers, they have given a high degree of recognition.

"This season, you're going to be successful!"

"No one can stop a team on a 34-game winning streak, I firmly believe that!"

"Well done, man, you're already ahead of us!"

……

In the TNT studio, looking at these more senior celebrities, Barkley turned his head to look at O'Neal and then at Kenny Smith, and said: "I remember that the Lakers won the championship after winning 33 in a row, right?" ”

Kenny Smith nodded, and O'Neill nodded as well.

Barkley is not wrong, the Lakers in the 71~72 season played 33 consecutive wins and won the final championship.

Otherwise, why do they all say that "Baylor" is unlucky, he finally chose to make a comeback, and the Lakers did have the ability to win the championship that season, but he made a comeback for 9 games and chose to retire......

"Lord Belle" himself said that it was not interesting to win such a championship.

But there is also the theory that if Elgin Baylor does not retire, the Lakers may not be able to win the championship......

That's right, how infuriating!

However, judging from Baylor's later career as general manager, this metaphysics may really be true, because Baylor is the main person, and there are only two words:

Point back!

Barkley's words continued: "Since the Lakers, who have won 33 in a row, have won the championship, are the Cavaliers, who have won 34 in a row, also booked the championship?" ”

I heard that when Barkley said this, the Cleveland people, who were still cheering there, rushed to the studio building of TNT, tied him up, and then stuffed his stinky socks into his stinky mouth.

Let you talk nonsense!

Is this what you, the "poisoned milk master", can say!?

Well......

Yes!

Speaking of which, I'm afraid that New York fans will hate iron and steel again.

Even the Cavaliers, who have won 34 consecutive games at this moment, Cleveland people still dare not shout the slogan of "Cavaliers championship" in advance.

……

Early the next morning, the news that the Cavaliers defeated the Kings to get their 34th consecutive win swept the world like snowflakes.

All the fans who knew the news were stunned.

Lee Wan and the Cavaliers have once again become the focus of global fans.

After all, the Lakers went on a 33-game winning streak 44 years ago...... And now NBA fans have already updated several batches, for the Lakers to play a 33-game winning streak, they have only heard of it, but they have not really seen it, and now the voice of questioning the level of basketball at that time is getting louder and louder, so the gold content of this record is greatly reduced!

Can ...... now

What was once just heard of happened vividly in front of the eyes, and it was a further 34-game winning streak, not to mention how excited these fans were......

Of course, the reason for their excitement is not just because the Cavaliers are on a 34-game winning streak, but also because of ......

As of the Cavaliers' game against the Kings, there is almost a month left in the season, and there are only 15 games left in each team's schedule.

The Warriors, who are currently ranked No. 1 All-Star players, have lost just six games so far, having played 67 regular season games.

It's the same as saying......

Not only will they see the Cavaliers break the NBA's longest winning streak in NBA history this year, but they will also have a good chance of seeing the Warriors break the NBA's best record in regular season history!

It's a once-in-a-decade event.

But it was all in the 15~16 season......

"It's definitely going to be a season that will go down in NBA history!"

"It's really exciting, where is there such a look forward to the end of the previous season!"

"This is definitely the best era in the NBA, unconvinced!"

What Michael Jordan, what "show time"!

At the moment, in the hearts of these fans, they can't keep up with the dominance shown by the Cavaliers and Warriors this season......

That's not just what these fans think now, but also some of the older fans.

You know, in addition to the Warriors and Cavaliers, there are also the Hornets and Bulls this season, even the Nets...... It's all full of topics.

Plus Kobe Bryant is going to retire this year......

To be honest, these factors are mixed together, and it's hard to have a wonderful season!

The Cavaliers' winning streak didn't stop at 34 and they went on to go on a 35-game winning streak and 36 wins until March 21, when they finally lost their first game in nearly three months.

And by this time, their winning streak has reached 37!

The new NBA all-time record for the longest winning streak is set at 37 games......
