One Guard

Vol 3 Chapter 732: : Both happy and sad

April 10, 2015, this is definitely a day that will be recorded in the history of the Alliance!

The Dallas Mavericks beat the Nuggets 108-92 at the Pepsi Center in Denver, winning 12 consecutive victories! The most important thing is that the victory of this game allowed the Mavericks to tie the incredible record of 72 wins in the regular season!

72 wins, this is the highest number of regular season wins in a single season in NBA history. In the 95-96 season, the Chicago Bulls led by Michael Jordan had an impressive record of 72 wins and 10 losses. Today, the Mavericks have tied the miracle of the Bulls.

In the past month, the Mavericks have had a terrifying schedule. They have played against the top eight in the Western Conference a lot, which has greatly reduced their hopes of creating a 73-win record. According to ESPN's Basketball Strength Index, after the Mavericks lost to the Cavaliers, their probability of tying 72 wins suddenly dropped to 15%.

However, the Mavericks performed very tenaciously in the subsequent games. At the beginning of April, they defeated the Thunder, Rockets and Warriors three powerful enemies in succession! Successfully achieved 72 wins and became the second team in NBA history to achieve this.

When the Bulls scored 72 wins in the 1995-1996 season, many people felt that this was an unprecedented and unprecedented record. Even Warriors coach Steve Kerr, who witnessed the Bulls’ 72 wins for many years. In a previous interview, he said that he doesn't think any team can approach this record. Last season, the Mavericks were able to score 69 wins, which is already very exaggerated. But this season, Yiyang led the Mavericks to complete an impossible task, and as long as they win another game, the Mavericks will be able to create an amazing historical record!

No wonder, even the fans of the Pepsi Center began to cheer for the Mavericks. Because they are not watching an ordinary regular season, but as Mike Brin and Barkley said.

"We are witnessing a miracle!"

After the game, the players bounced back to the player channel. Although you won 72 wins, the league won't award you any trophies. But this invisible and intangible honor is something that no one can ignore.

Of course, today is just an appetizer. Everyone knows that the Mavericks who have come this far can't just be satisfied with tying the record. Their goal is to surpass 72 wins!

After this game, many of the Bulls players were dug out by reporters.

Scott Pippen said on the show that even if the Mavericks broke the 72-win record, there is nothing great, because in the playoffs, the Mavericks will be swept out by the Bulls! Of course, in the end he also expressed his congratulations to the Mavericks. Pippen is just like that, it's nothing more than tofu.

However, in an interview with ESPN, the current Hornets owner and the most important creator of the Bulls' 72-win record, Michael Jordan, also rarely spoke out at first sight!

"Of course this is an amazing record. I know better than anyone how difficult it is to achieve 72 wins. If I deny this record, I am denying myself. But I must say that there is no championship 72 wins, yes. It makes no sense. So, I hope everything goes well for the Mavericks in the playoffs. As for Ye, he is indeed a great player. But to what extent he can be great, I don’t count this, it has to be tested by time ."

Jordan's evaluation of Mavericks and Yiyang can be said to be very high. Overnight, the Mavericks became a team as famous as the legendary Bulls!

Numerous programs have made in-depth comparisons of the two teams, and must distinguish which one is better. What's more, Yiyang and Jordan have been put together for discussion.

No matter how sour those who say 72 wins are useless, the truth is that the Mavericks' 72 wins record really affects the world!

Maybe people don't immediately think of who the championship is in a certain season, but when you think of 72 wins, people will definitely immediately think of the Chicago Bulls in 1996 and the Dallas Mavericks in 2015!

"It is also an absolute MVP. No one can compete with him! I know that he has won the regular season MVP trophy for two consecutive years. But this season, can anyone compare to him?"

Not everyone was coldly talking about the Mavericks' 72 wins. Kobe, who was injured at home, immediately supported a wave of his old friends after the game.

MVP is the most valuable personal award in the regular season. In addition to the outstanding players' own strength, the team's record and personal contribution to the team must be convinced by everyone to be able to win this award. It can also be said that MVP is an honor that all players dream of except for the championship.

If a player has one MVP in his career, there is no regret. If there are 2 or even 3 times, it is already a historical superstar. And for three consecutive years to become the MVP, only three people in NBA history have done it. Even legends like Jordan, "The Magician" and O'Neal are not finished!

Kobe said that Yiyang will become the MVP, which means that Yiyang will also create a new history!

"The Lord of the Rings" Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain and "The King" Larry Bird are the only players in NBA history who can win the regular season MVP for three consecutive years. Among them, Russell and Chamberlain are both ancient players, and the only one of Bird's Lian Zhuang has some reference value.

Since entering the 21st century, the NBA has never seen any star capable of winning the regular season MVP for three consecutive years.

Three consecutive MVPs are the same as three consecutive championships. The third year is often particularly difficult. Your opponent will study you more thoroughly, and the media will also be tired of you. As long as there is a person with the same strength as you, they are more willing to vote for the other party than you.

But in this year's regular season, can anyone have the same achievements as Yiyang? Indeed, Stephen Curry is also a blockbuster this year. But compared with the Mavericks' 72 wins and possibly even further results, his achievements are simply insignificant!

Kobe, a very competitive guy and one of the greatest players of this era, believes that Yiyang can win the MVP trophy for three consecutive years. There is no doubt that this is Kobe's biggest recognition of Yiyang!

The Dallas Mavericks no longer climb towards the altar, because Yiyang has taken them to stand on the altar!

After that, what kind of miracle this team will create, everyone is extremely looking forward to.

The Mavericks tied an incredible 72-win record, making countless people happy. Of course, this also makes some people very sad. But there is one person who is the most special. For the Mavericks' 72 wins, he is both sad, happy, and very entangled.

This person is the Celtics coach, Brad Stevens, who found gold in the garbage dump in the Wood District and brought Yiyang all the way into the NBA.

Seeing Yiyang's success, Stevens was naturally very happy. When the Mavericks won at the Pepsi Center, Stevens was the first NBA coach to tweeted public congratulations to Yiyang.

It stands to reason that Stevens should be purely happy, because in the playoffs, it is impossible for him to encounter a strong enemy like the Mavericks.

But things backfired. Now, only the last two games of the regular season will end. And Stevens found that the team has one more goal that must be achieved, and that is to reach sixth in the East!

Although the Celtics' goal this season is only the playoffs, Angie has no requirements for Stevens's performance in the playoffs. After all, Ainge is already very satisfied with the Celtics who have begun to rebuild so quickly to return to the postseason ranks, even in the East.

But Stevens will not be complacent. Since he has reached the playoffs, he must not hold the mentality of "I'm just here to see". Winning is the only goal!

But the Celtics are currently ranked seventh in the Eastern Conference, but Stevens's situation is quite embarrassing. Seventh in the East, it means that the Celtics will meet the Cavaliers in the first round~www.novelmtl.com~ If their opponent is the Cleveland Cavaliers led by James, then there is no doubt that the Celtics The team can only accept the fate of a round tour. Stevens is not an idiot, he may be able to lead his team to win one or two games. But an entire series cannot be won by the current Celtics.

But now, the Celtics have a chance to change their destiny. That was in the last two games of the regular season, surpassing the Milwaukee Bucks coached by Kidd and rushing to sixth in the Eastern Conference. In this way, the Celtics' opponents will change from Cavaliers to Bulls.

Although the Bulls are indeed very difficult to deal with, but at least compared to the Cavaliers, Stevens still has a trace of certainty of winning. Currently, the Bucks are only one win ahead of the Celtics. As long as the Celtics and Bucks have the same record, they can be ranked sixth!

Here comes the sad things. On April 13, the penultimate game of the NBA regular season. The Celtics opponents are the Mavericks who are eager to break the 72-win record!

If there is no 72 wins record now, Carlisle will definitely replace all the main players and send all the substitutes to the game after he has secured the first place in the Western Conference. At that time, the Celtics can easily take the victory.

But now, the situation is completely different. In order to break the record, the Mavericks are bound to do their best! The cool Stevens, at the end of the playoffs, he still has to run into a tough battle.

Stevens smiled, fate is really tricking people. Unexpectedly, the "heavy task" that prevented the Mavericks and Yiyang from breaking the 72-win record would eventually fall on him.
