Chapter 1472 Continuous Kills

Starting with a 20-game winning streak, and winning at least 20 games in a row for three consecutive seasons, the Lakers once again accomplished an incredible feat.

How difficult is it to win 20 games in a row?

In a highly competitive arena like the NBA where strong players gather, the strength of every team cannot be underestimated. In order to win every game, in addition to strong strength, you also need some luck. Every NBA season There will be one or two teams that have a winning streak of more than ten games, but it is more difficult to win more than 20 games in a row.

The NBA has only had this kind of data 5 times so far. Including what the Lakers just completed, there have only been 6 consecutive wins of more than 20 times!

This includes the Lakers' 33-game winning streak in the 1971-72 season, the Lakers' 27-game winning streak at the start of the 2008-2009 season, the Lakers' 24-game winning streak in the 2007-2008 season, the Rockets' 22-game winning streak in the 2007-2008 season, and the Bucks' 20-game winning streak in the 1970-1971 season. , and the Lakers’ 20th consecutive victory this season!

It can be seen that the Lakers have won 4 of the 6 times, and the Lakers have achieved this achievement every season in the past three years!

"The most dominant team ever!"

After the game against the Timberwolves, the cover of Sports Illustrated once again showed the Lakers team, and it was a group portrait of the Lakers for three seasons, with the year and winning streak marked on it.

The article not only gave a brief review of the Lakers' three-season winning streak, but also directly called the Lakers the most dominant team.

"No dynasty team has ever been so dominant in the regular season!"

Sports Illustrated's words were also approved by professionals. Even those who disagreed were speechless, because facts speak louder than words and data do not lie. The Lakers have indeed achieved a feat that even dynasty teams have not achieved in the past.

Some media have begun to call this Lakers team the JK Dynasty. They believe that although the season is not over yet, with such a terrifying regular season performance, the Lakers can already be called a dynasty team.

Of course, there are also bitter comments from hostile media. Before the championship is announced, the Lakers dynasty is still not worthy of its name, but they dare not say who can cause trouble to this Lakers. After all, playing against strong teams has always been what the Lakers are best at.

Of course, in addition to discussions about the dynasty, more fans are more concerned about how long the Lakers' winning streak can last. Although the Lakers have had long winning streaks, they have never been able to challenge the longest winning streak in history of 33. This It is definitely a small regret for the majority of Lake Honey, and they certainly hope that they will have the opportunity to achieve this season.

However, they were disappointed. The Lakers really have no desire for consecutive wins this season, especially Zen Master. He has always felt that too many consecutive wins will be of no benefit to the playoffs, so he has always maintained a casual attitude and does not encourage him. He has no objection. If the team can win, it will continue to win, and he won't feel bad if it loses.

Moreover, my family knows my own affairs. Although the Lakers are stronger than last season, their mentality and physical fitness are big problems. It is not obvious at this time. It will become more and more difficult to fight in the future, so the Zen Master deliberately started Resting some of the main players, and wanting to challenge for a winning streak is not just about strength, luck is also very important. The opponents the Lakers have encountered so far are all of average strength. When they encounter strong opponents later, it will be the real test.

Just one day after playing the Timberwolves, the Lakers went to face the Jazz away from home. The Jazz's home court is a veritable devil's home court. This time it is the most difficult home and away game back-to-back. Logically speaking, it should not be easy to play, but the Lakers players are carrying They are in a relaxed mood. The home victory over the Jazz just a few days ago has given them confidence, and the Jazz are still full of injured soldiers. Only Korver returns this time, Deron and Kirilenko are still on the sidelines.

However, just such a remnant Jazz actually brought huge trouble to the Lakers!

The first quarter may have been too relaxed. The Jazz gave the Lakers a kick as soon as they started. Millsap scored 2 times in 3 singles in the paint, and also caused a foul by Bynum. Then Korver gave up 3 points after the pick-and-roll. The Jazz started with a miraculous 10-0 start!

The Lakers were fooled, and their offense encountered great resistance. Jackson was furious on the bench and made substitutions one after another. At this time, the Lakers were awakening from a dream. Ji Feng and Kobe Bryant scored points one after another. However, the Lakers still led 20-20 in the first quarter. 37 was 17 points behind.

"The Lakers had their worst first quarter of the season!"

The Lakers, who were just waking up from their dreams, started to chase points in the next 2 quarters. Ji Feng didn't care anymore. The crazy singles seemed to score points. However, after 3 quarters, the Jazz always maintained an advantage of more than 8 points.

The Jazz at home really seemed to have divine help, especially Millsap, who seemed to be possessed by Malone back then. Bynum was sent to the bench for 4 fouls in the first half, and then became even more comfortable, scoring 24 points in three quarters. He scored 9 rebounds and 4 blocks. At the critical moment of the fourth quarter, he stole Ji Feng's point ball and assisted Korver to hit a chasing three-pointer to overtake the lead. It was a career masterpiece.

In the last two and a half minutes, the Lakers were still 6 points behind. Everyone thought that the Lakers would suffer an upset loss on the road.

At this time, Laoyu stepped forward and tied the score with a 3-pointer. Then Ji Feng stole the ball on the fast break and caused Korver to foul. He made 2 free throws and the point difference was only 1 point.

What followed was a minute and a half of chaos. The referee's whistle blew wildly, and neither side scored a point. In the last 13 seconds, the Jazz missed the opportunity to end the game. The Lakers used the last 4 seconds to counterattack!

"Beep!" Ji Feng caused a foul on Millsap's thugs and stood on the free throw line in the last 2 seconds!

Two free throws!

After that, the Jazz's three-pointer popped up thrillingly. The Lakers won 101-100 away from home, narrowly beating the Jazz by one point and winning 21 consecutive games!

"Huh~!" Ji Feng wiped his cold sweat after the game, and it turned out to be a free throw. It was so thrilling, they almost lost.

"You guys played really badly! Everyone should reflect on it!" Although they won, Master Jackson was not satisfied. After the game, Master Jackson angrily scolded the entire team in the locker room.

Today's result is largely due to the Lakers' carelessness, especially Bynum, who underestimated Millsap too much.

Others did not play well, Ji Feng had 24 points and 10 assists but only 5 rebounds, Kobe had 19 points, Gasol had 17 points, Bynum scored 2 points on 1 of 6 shots, and had 5 fouls.

If not for luck, the Jazz would have suffered a huge upset.

However, no one would have thought that this decisive victory was just the beginning!

On December 16, in Chicago, the Lakers were away to challenge the Bulls. As the second game of four consecutive games in the Eastern Conference, the Lakers naturally did not want to lose, but they were still suppressed by the Bulls at the beginning.

Rose took advantage of Fisher's shortcomings in movement and output wildly, scoring 10 points in the first quarter. What's more serious is that the old fish's physical strength cannot keep up, resulting in the inside having to block the hole of the gun. Gasol, Bynum 2 The team got into foul trouble in the first half.

So even though Kobe Bryant was killing everyone at the Bulls' home court, scoring 25 points in the half, the game still came to the final moment!

In the last 21 seconds, the two sides were tied and the Bulls attacked. Rose used an amazing looping lever to score 2+1, but he missed an amazing free throw. Instead, Ji Feng grabbed the 10th rebound of the game!

"Frontcourt, Ji Feng, dribble, shoot! Three-pointer! Another three-pointer, made! Ji Feng hits the go-ahead goal!"

Accompanied by the incredible voice of the commentator, Ji Feng hit an accurate buzzer beater, and then Rose failed to hit the buzzer beater. The Lakers once again used a buzzer beater to win in the away game, 98-97. The Lakers narrowly defeated the Bulls by one point and won their 22nd consecutive victory!
