Basketball: starting from the nerve knife

Chapter 314: Breaking History, The Best Times of the NBA!

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

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

After this loss, the Cavaliers officially overcame the rankings and became the new Eastern Conference No. 1.

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

The most important thing now is…

Can they break the longest 33-game winning streak in NBA history?

The Cavaliers who arrived in Oklahoma have now won 30 straight games.

There are 3 games to tie the record, and 4 games to break the record.

Seeing that the record is getting closer and closer, the amount of coverage about the Cavaliers is completely unique.

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 on the court since Kevin Durant’s injury last year.

It’s been almost two years since they last went head-to-head on the pitch.

Kevin Durant, who had paid less attention to him because the league had paid less attention to him, before watching this game, the discussion was still “whether the Cavaliers can continue to win”, and he was holding a fire in his stomach.

Before entering the arena, he specially “pulled the flag” in the dressing room and shouted: “Guys, let’s stop this topic!” It’s time for the end of it! ”

As soon as he shouted, everyone’s eyes also shone.

It’s not that Kevin Durant’s voice shouts out their fighting spirit, but they covet the “sniper Knights guys.”

Kevin Durant’s words belong to their hearts.

Of course, their response fell in Kevin Durant’s ears, and it was a different taste:

We are too prestigious!

Looking at the brothers’ “working together” posture with him, Kevin Durant immediately became more confident.

With such a bunch of brothers here, tonight’s game, I won!

“Let’s make headlines in tomorrow’s newspapers, it’s big business, guys! Donovan, who just arrived this summer, also deliberately poured a bowl of “chicken soup” into the Thunder starters before tonight’s game.

At this time, the old men of the Thunder team are more powerful.

The live big screen gave the starting list of both sides at this time:

“Thunder: No. 1 Westbrook, No. 2 Dion Vitesse, No. 3 Kevin Durant, No. 4 Ibaka, No. 5 Ennes Kante;

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

Compared to the hot-blooded Thunder, the Cavaliers are no different from usual. However, the light in this eye seems to be better than the Thunder.

No wonder…

The Cavaliers guys know exactly what they’re going through, and if it’s done, what kind of sensation it will cause.

Therefore, even if Tyronn Lue does not deliberately say anything, the strength of the Cavaliers will only get stronger and stronger!

Because……

This is the best time to leave a mark in 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 now, you might have to rummage through the records, but if you were to say now, which team played the league’s longest winning streak right now.

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

And now, they are very likely to break that record and become the next fan to say “the NBA’s longest winning streak.”

The desire to win on both sides was particularly strong, and the game was played fiercely from the start.

At 1:34 in the first quarter, Chris Bosh and Ibaka directly came to a “roll all over the floor” in order to compete for rebounds.

The intensity of the fight can be seen.

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

If I didn’t know this, I thought I went back 10 years overnight!

Li Wan took the lead in stepping up, using a blocked top shot for three points, and then a “European step” layup, scoring five consecutive points, helping the team open the six-point gap.

Kevin Durant saw that Li Wan began to exert power, and he was also immediately full of firepower, facing Wiggins, directly came to a top three-pointer, and then fluttered in the back jumper to score.

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

The atmosphere of the scene is obviously different.

“It’s up! This game is good-looking, ha~”

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

What he likes to watch the most is this kind of star showing his personal ability.

Although he often talks about tactics …

Well, it’s very reasonable~

But even Director Zhang did not expect that Li Wan and Kevin Durant’s firepower would never be small, but more and more fierce.

In the second quarter, Kevin Durant cut 17 points alone, Li Wan was slightly better, and he cut 23 points in a single quarter, Kevin Durant is a good feeling, Li Wan is a “nerve knife” attack;

At halftime, Kevin Durant’s personal score was 25 points, and Li Wan was at 30.

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

Drexler watched the two of them compete for points, and his eyes were full of shadows of when he and Michael Jordan were against Biao.

Buckley……

That’s what I thought!

Looking at Kevin Durant and Li Wan versus Biao, his mind is full of his own confrontation with Michael Jordan.

Kenny Smith said: “The offensive firepower of Stephen Curry this season can actually be compared with them…”

It’s just that the road is a little wrong, Kevin Durant and Li Wan are proficient in “18 weapons”.

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

However, this makes his three-point shot even more obvious…

These two people are stupid for a bunch of old explanations, but when Kevin Durant himself saw this data, he was not very happy, because…

He actually scored less in the half than Li Wan?

This!

How is this possible?

His scores have always been small and unexpected.

Kevin Durant immediately became more involved in the game in the third quarter.

The effect was also outstanding, and he scored another 18 points in the third quarter, this time as he wished, his single-quarter firepower surpassed Li Wan. Li Wan scored 14 points in the third quarter, 4 points less 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 could still contribute 14 points in a single quarter.

Compared to him, Kevin Durant is far behind, and he only scored 7 points throughout the 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 bite Li Wan’s scoring speed in the fourth quarter, and the Cavaliers opened the gap with the Thunder during this period.

In the end, the Cavaliers defeated the Thunder by 116-103, 13 points.

They got their 31st straight win.

Lee Wan and Kevin Durant’s stats are frozen.

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

Kevin Durant had exactly 50 points, plus 7 rebounds and 4 assists;

The whole data, the gap between the two people is not very large…

After the game, the commentators of this game also fully affirmed the “07 Double Heroes”.

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

Drexler also took a deep breath, he had to admit that his confrontation with Michael Jordan was still a little worse than Tonight’s “King of Kings” with Kevin Durant.

As for what the difference is…

Ahem!

“Wonderful, wonderful, enjoyable, addictive! Chris Webb is also clapping his hands, he hasn’t seen such a “star versus biao” in a long time.

In this era of increasing emphasis on team cooperation, Li Wan’s confrontation with Kevin Durant makes him feel like drinking ice in a three-volt day, which is called a “cool heart, heart flying”!

This competition, he has to watch as a member!

Kevin Durant looked at this data with a look of unwillingness.

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

His physical strength is not enough!

Since last season’s season reimbursement, he feels that his power is more expended than usual, especially when this continuous ball attack, he feels that his physical consumption is much greater than in the past.

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

In the fourth quarter, he gasped heavily, although there was also the factor of Li Wan and Wiggins, but Kevin Durant felt that more of a reason was on his own.

If this physical problem has always existed…

Kevin Durant subconsciously glanced at the data of the rest of the Thunder:

Westbrook had 25 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists while shooting 41 percent from the field, a top 40 percent, but had five turnovers.

The reduction of the “three-second zone” also has a great impact on him, the most obvious effect is that he has significantly more clipping errors in the middle distance… The “Turtle” has been weakened to some extent.

Now James Harden is also gone…

Kevin Durant’s face grew solemn with his musings.

Because he found out…

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

On the other hand, what is even more infuriating 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-fived with his teammates on the opposite side, he walked into the tunnel of the away team players with infinite scenery.

For a while, Kevin Durant didn’t know what to do next…

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

But now it seems…

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

Be……

Is it?

Kevin Durant became a “thinker”, and Li Wan was also surrounded by reporters in the player tunnel.

It’s a great game, and the pairing between him and Kevin Durant is enough to cut a set of “top ten balls”. After winning the Thunder, the Cavaliers’ winning streak has also reached 31 straight wins!

“Two more games, two more games, brothers, think about how we got here, so long to hold on, then hold on to the last 2, no, 3 games, we’re done! ”

On the plane back to Cleveland, Taryn Lue spoke in particular.

He analyzed the pros and cons at the moment …

The big news is that the next two games are against opponents they have easily defeated before, including the Bulls, who won by 17 points without Chris Bosh!

“This time, try to beat them 20 points, no, 30 points! ”

Under the lights of the cabin, Taryn Lu’s face turned red, as if he had just drunk alcohol. There was still a beautiful smile on his face, and that smile was so beautiful that it was about to bubble up with snot.

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

This is the current Knights, and this one dares to think and dare to do, and it is indeed capable. Gradually, there has been a little more sharpness that has never been felt before. To put it bluntly:

This is the best time for a team to succeed!

This is the reason why Li Wan did not give up his pursuit of 33 consecutive wins.

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

In this ordeal, as long as the Knights pass the level, they can complete their transformation and become a championship-level team into a championship-level team!

Seriously, this team has no shortage of “championship blood”, especially after Chris Bosh returns, plus Lee Wan, 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 spectacle, and now chasing 33 consecutive wins is also a big spectacle.

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

That’s 3 games away…

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

There is also good news for the Cavaliers, who have played their next two games at home, and these are the two most difficult opponents to play.

The Clippers and the Bulls, which are the top four teams in the East and West.

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

Perhaps also because of style restraint, as long as the Cavaliers can lock up Dragic and leave them without a qualified playmaker on the outside, it is enough to slow down the pace of this team and even become chaotic.

And one more point…

Two points is not enough to do three.

Although three points is more difficult than two. But the problem is that the Clippers’ backcourt of Dragic and JJ Redick, it is also not defensive!

The Cavaliers had a three-point rain in the game.

From Lee Wan to Chris Bosh hit at least 2 three-pointers…

This is also Chris Bosh’s biggest improvement for this team since his return.

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

Let’s talk about Adams, he catches the ball in the “three-second zone”, there are at least two or three offensive lines, and there is plenty of room to attack. Because often when he gets the ball, there is only one defender left to face, and his advantages in height, arm span and tonnage are undoubtedly displayed…

It’s a pity that I can’t fight back, otherwise, Li Wan and Lewis’s set of “one and four positions” blocking and dismantling cooperation back then can be re-emerged!

At 115 to 103, the Cavaliers didn’t win much, and only won by 12 points.

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

“With 32 straight wins, the Cavaliers are one step closer to the record! ”

“There are still 2 games to go, and the historic moment is just around the corner! ”

“32 straight wins, the Cavaliers haven’t lost a game since January 5! ”

……

The field is even more dry!

Especially the fans of the city of Cleveland are even more excited.

They thought this season, when they were most excited, when they finally lifted the O’Brien Cup. But I didn’t expect ah, the Knights and these guys, after entering the New Year, gave them such a big job!

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 felt a feeling: “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 one when they entered the Finals in ’07… …”

It’s really hilarious!

Wang Meng later recalled what he saw that day: “It’s like the New Year! ”

No wonder they’re so excited.

In this game against the Bulls, if the Cavaliers win, then they will tie the Lakers’ longest winning streak.

The next game against the Kings is at home in Sacramento, and Cavaliers fans aren’t destined to see the Cavaliers break the longest winning streak in history.

Since you can’t witness it with your own eyes at that time, it is natural to vent well tonight.

However, from the momentum of the Bulls’ pre-game warm-up, it is clear that they did not intend for the Cavaliers to tie the record so smoothly.

They……

I came to smash the field!

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

Although the Bulls’ Eastern Conference first place was overtaken by the Cavaliers, they are not trailing by many wins now, only one game behind.

Is such a gap called a gap?

This is called… Ignore it!

Since everyone has similar records, the level should be similar; Since the level is similar, it means that there are some fights tonight!

Some fight, so how can it be easy for you to get your wish?

Can……

They underestimated the current momentum of this Knight team!

Equaling the “best record in history” just tonight, the Cavaliers are more like the Bulls, or in heat.

And the Bulls gang look like they are holding a red cloth in their hands… So that the Cavaliers only want to do one thing now, that is, to crash, hit him on his back, and face the sky on all fours!

Hit a piece of history belonging to the Cavaliers!

So…

As soon as he opened the game, Li Wan opened his bow on the outside and hit a three-pointer to fire the first shot of tonight’s “Kick Over the Bulls”. The Cavaliers then defended with a team, causing the Bulls to make a mistake. Holding the ball, Li Wan pushed the counterattack, scored 2 more points, and the point difference instantly came to 5-0.Thibodeau hesitated to call a timeout, the Cavaliers who successfully defended the outside line, Joe Johnson hit a three-point shot, and even caused Jimmy Butler’s foul…

3 plus 1!

The scene exploded directly!

By the time Thibodeau reacted and was ready to call a timeout, it was 5 minutes and 13 seconds into the first quarter, and the Cavaliers went on a 17-5 scoring run, and the game had just begun.

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 turf!

“Historic moment, let’s congratulate the Cavaliers on tying the longest winning streak in NBA history, 33 straight wins, and they did it! “Bill Wharton was very excited and very emotional.

At first, he chose to “believe”, but his heart was not so determined.

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

“These guys did an amazing thing! ”

Of course, there’s an even bigger thing to do, waiting for the Cavaliers guys to finish.

That is…

Break the record of 33 consecutive wins!

Create a new legend!

The league has long changed this Cavaliers-Kings game to “live American.” At the same time, publicity efforts have been intensified. Special interviews were arranged.

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

They are all “old antique” level celebrities, among which Chamberlain died as early as the end of the 90s…

The league had these people record a video congratulating the Cavaliers, and also arranged tickets for the live courtside seats.

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

It is also because of the heritage that the current increasingly glorious NBA era will exist.

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

However, he played only 9 games before retiring.

Because he really can’t stand the marginalization of his team, and he doesn’t want to “hold his thighs” to win a championship…

He would rather regret than settle.

This is the style bone of that generation of basketball people back then.

It’s like the NBA 10 years later, this ball has not been played for a few years, so they first hugged the group, and even some people hugged one after another, probably lost more in the Finals, and said that they had not stayed in a super team…

I don’t know, who brought it up first!

The Kings players looked at the scene differently and were visibly nervous, as can be seen from their pre-game warm-ups, where they nervously shot in quick succession and barely communicated with each other.

Compared with the Knights opposite, it can be said that the sense of youth is undoubtedly displayed.

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

Such a team naturally can’t stop the Cavaliers from making history.

Although the Cavaliers didn’t have a very smooth start tonight, the Kings also failed to find the basket in the opening few games. Even as the Cavaliers gradually adjusted, the Kings haven’t found their bullseye yet.

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

When the score opened to double digits, Barkley looked at each other with Kenny Smith and O’Neill, and they knew it was done!

Li Wan…

He 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 difference had reached more than 18 points, and the game was actually “garbage time”.

If it was in the past, at such a time, it would be necessary to take away a few Kings home fans. But this evening, the crowded audience was packed until the end of the fourth quarter, and there were no departures.

Not only did he not leave, but the atmosphere was also very good.

Many fans brought cameras tonight to record this historic moment with great interest.

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

By the last 5 minutes, the two sides actually stopped fighting, and they were all on the field, beating indiscriminately and killing time. As the final whistle sounded, Wiggins, who was holding the ball, happily held the 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 legendary celebrities who arrived tonight also walked straight towards Li Wan, congratulating Li Wan one by one, breaking the record set by them that year.

Back then, when they did this, they thought that no other team would be able to accomplish such a thing again…

As a result, and it was, from 72 years to 40 years later… The league’s longest winning streak, let alone 30, hasn’t even reached 25.

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

So now, 44 years later, looking at Li Wan, who broke the record, and the young men of the Cavaliers, they gave a high degree of recognition.

“This season, you are bound to succeed! ”

“No one can stop a team with 34 straight wins, I firmly believe that! ”

“Well done, man, you’ve surpassed us! ”

……

In the TNT studio, looking at this group of more senior celebrities, Barkley turned his head to glance at O’Neal and then at Kenny Smith, and said: “I remember that the Lakers won the final championship after playing 33 consecutive wins, right?” ”

Kenny Smith nodded, as did O’Neill.

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

Or why do you say that “Baylor” is unlucky, he finally chose to come back, and the Lakers did have the ability to win the championship that season, but he came back 9 games and chose to retire…

“Grandpa Belle” himself said that it was not interesting to win such a championship.

But there is also that metaphysical theory, if Elgin Baylor does not retire, the Lakers may not win the championship…

How infuriating to say!

However, from the perspective of Baylor’s later general manager career, this metaphysics may not be wrong, because Baylor is a person who focuses on two words:

Point back!

Barkley’s words continued: “Since the Lakers, who have won 33 straight games, have won the championship, have the Cavaliers, who have won 34 in a row, also booked a championship? ”

I heard that when Barkley’s words came out, the Clevelandian, who was still cheering there, immediately rushed to TNT’s studio building, tied him up, and stuffed his smelly mouth with his own smelly socks.

Let you talk nonsense!

Is this something that you, the “master of poisoned milk”, can say!?

Well……

Yes!

Speaking of which, I’m afraid that New York fans will hate iron is not steel again.

Even with the Cavaliers, who have played a 34-game winning streak at the moment, Cleveland people still dare not shout the slogan “Cavaliers championship” in advance.

……

Early the next morning, the Cavaliers beat the Kings to get the news of their 34th winning streak, sweeping the world like snowflakes.

All the fans who knew the news were stunned.

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

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

But now…

What was once just heard of happened alive in front of you, and, with a further 34-game winning streak, this group of fans is not to mention how excited they are…

Of course, they’re excited not just because the Cavaliers are on a 34-game winning streak, but because…

By the time the Cavaliers and Kings were played, there was almost a month left in the season, and each team had only 15 games left on its schedule.

Having played 67 regular-season games, the Warriors, currently ranked first in the All-Star ranking, have only lost six games so far.

It’s tantamount to saying…

Not only will they see the Cavaliers break the longest winning streak in NBA history this year, they will most likely witness the Warriors break the best record in NBA regular season history!

This is a once-in-a-century event.

But all in the 15~16 season…

“This is definitely going to be a season in NBA history! ”

“It’s really exciting, where in the past is there such a thing to look forward to at the end of the season! ”

“This is definitely the best era in the NBA, not convinced! ”

What Michael Jordan, what “show time”!

At the moment, in the hearts of these fans, they can’t catch up with the dominance shown by the Cavaliers and Warriors this season…

It’s not just these fans who think this now, but also some of the older fans.

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

Plus Kobe will retire this year…

To be honest, these factors mix together, and this season is not exciting and difficult!

The Cavaliers’ winning streak didn’t stop at 34 straight wins, and they went on to have a 35-game winning streak 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 record for the longest winning streak in NBA history is frozen at 37 games…

There was a bit of a delay today.
