Chapter 1674 Break Through the Shackles, only the Sky Is the Limit! (Down)
After the game, Ji Feng, who scored 29 points, 15 assists and 11 rebounds, hugged Yao goodbye and jokingly asked whether he would consider coming to the Lakers next season.
To be honest, this Rockets has no hope. With Tracy McGrady being traded, it will be a matter of time before they enter the reconstruction process, and their general manager is as stupid as ever. Trading Lowry for a bargain price proves his short-sightedness. , Brooks has reached his peak, and Martin, a tall glass man, has been good and bad. Leaving the two of them and trading away the prosperous small steel cannon, only the Rockets can do it. Otherwise, Morey is a trading genius. .
It can be said that as long as Morey is around, the Rockets have no hope of competing for the championship. People like this who are not very good as businessmen will drag the Rockets into a mosaic sooner or later. However, there is one thing to say, he He and Xiao Hua are a perfect match.
After bidding farewell to Dayao, the Lakers finally returned to Los Angeles after four consecutive away games. With a wave of Zen Master's hand, the entire team had a day off. Firstly, it allowed the players to relax, and secondly, it was also to prepare for the following games.
It is said that the Lakers' schedule this season is really amazing. Until now, except for the Bulls, they have not encountered any reliable strong teams. The Mavericks, Spurs, Greencaps and other currently ranked strong teams in the East and West are even more so. We haven't met them once. This has contributed to the Lakers' continuous winning streak to a certain extent, but it also reminded them that the games this season will probably become more and more difficult.
But looking at the schedule, they still won't face any strong opponents before Christmas. Just like now, the Lakers have easily won 20 consecutive victories!
On December 4th, their opponent was the Kings, who had made a lot of moves in the offseason. Martin, the team's boss for several seasons, was traded to the Rockets. Landry and Hyde were traded, and Cousins, the big inside center, was selected in the draft. This is a determined effort to establish Evans, last season's best rookie, as the new core.
But the world is such a wonderful place. A healthy Evans definitely has the potential to become a superstar. However, like many potential newcomers, he encountered injuries in his second season. He missed 12 games due to injury in the new season. He just missed it a few days ago. Comeback.
His condition after his comeback was also greatly compromised. His original violent breakthrough was gone, and the knee injury also affected the emergency stop jump shot that he relied on for survival. This season, his average points per game dropped from 25 points last season to 16.6 points. This scene Against the Lakers, Kobe limited him to only 12 points and lost all his aura.
A new star once again fell without rising.
But fools are blessed. The Cousins they selected has full potential. Facing the Lakers' interior towers, he efficiently scored 10 points and 9 rebounds. Of course, it would be even better if he could be smarter...
112-90, the Lakers defeated the Kings easily. The Kings have not won against the Lakers in 4 seasons. This time, they personally sent the Lakers to become the seventh team in history to win 20 games. It is also the fourth time in four seasons that the Lakers have achieved this. One achievement.
"Only 7 teams in NBA history have achieved more than 20 consecutive wins, and except for the Bucks and Rockets, the other names are all Lakers. This team of kings has accomplished this 4 times in less than 4 seasons. With this achievement, the top five on the winning streak list are filled with the Lakers' names. What's even more frightening is that this time, their winning streak has not stopped yet," ESPN commented after the game.
The Lakers' 20-game winning streak quickly became a hot topic of the day. Many people were discussing whether the Lakers would have a chance to touch the miracle of that year's 33-game winning streak.
"There is really no solution to the 20-game winning streak. This Lakers team is really too strong. The chemical reaction is not comparable to other teams. The team has two of the top three players in the league. It's so buggy. You really I don’t know how to limit them, but 33 consecutive wins is unlikely. I think it would be great if they could surpass the 27 consecutive wins two years ago.”
"To be honest, there really is a chance. In December, except for the Bulls' second game in a few days and the Heat on Christmas Day, the other teams are average in strength. Just be careful not to capsize."
"Upstairs, it's not that easy. Two years ago, the 75-win Lakers only had 27 consecutive wins and then unexpectedly lost. You know that 33 consecutive wins is not that easy. I think we can still win this season. A few games, if nothing else, the Bulls will not be easy to play on the 10th away game.”
"Support the Lakers! 33 consecutive wins is nothing, break him!"
"Hey, if you bet fifty cents, you will lose. I am Hu Hei, who should I be afraid of!"
…
The fans were also very excited and were discussing on the forum, and CCTV once again launched a countdown event and began to analyze the Lakers' next 14 opponents one by one.
However, the Lakers players are very calm this time. After all, it is not the first time. After experiencing previous failures, they understand better that the game must be played one by one, and aiming too high will only be in vain.
This game against the Wizards attracted the attention of many Chinese fans. It was a long-lost encounter between the Arab League and Ji Feng. After all, compared with Dayao, who also belongs to the Western Conference, the Arab League will only meet Ji Feng twice a season.
This season the Wizards have entered a rebuilding phase. The moment Arenas took out the gun from the locker, the previous era of generals has come to an end. With Jamison and Butler leaving one after another, the Wizards have entered a new era. era.
However, the Wizards are still lucky. They selected the No. 1 pick and brought John Wall, which gave them the cornerstone of the team in the next few seasons. After all, although Wall is low-key and not very popular, he is still strong. Not bad.
Therefore, Ji Feng also talked with Arab League, and the Wizards may be a good choice. With Wall, he will not worry about not being able to get a piece of cake. Of course, improving his own strength is equally important.
Of course, that's what he said, but in this encounter, Ji Feng had no intention of holding back. Their winning streak ended at 20 wins last season, and this time, he must break through this shackle.
"33 consecutive wins, here I come!"
Maybe the Wizards are not ready for the Lakers to attack with all their strength...
After all, what kind of team are they? They are third from the bottom in the Eastern Conference and fifth from the bottom in the league. They are a properly rebuilt team. They are miles away from the playoffs. The team mainly plays happy basketball. In short, they are not at all in this game. I just came here with the mentality of having fun.
Who knew that he would encounter a tiger with full firepower.
When it took the Wizards 5 minutes to score the first point of the game, the Wizards coach decided to give up...
Looking at the confused faces of the Wizards on the court, this is a shame.
120-82, the Lakers swept the Wizards and won their 21st consecutive victory this season.
"Congratulations to the Lakers, they broke through the shackles of last season, the winning streak continues, the legend remains unquenched, only the sky is their limit!"
