Lost, the Lakers once again played a record of 3 wins and 3 losses in the last 6 games, which not only made them lose the opportunity to hit the record they set two years ago, but also brought them to a crossroads of destiny.
Since the 2007-2008 season, the Lakers exchanged Pau Gasol and Ji Feng to form this Galaxy battleship, for three consecutive seasons, the Lakers have achieved more than 70 wins and an incredible 75 wins in the 2008-2009 season. 7 losses for the entire season, by the way the best regular season record in history, the Bulls 72 wins, at the same time, three more victories also pulled this record to an incredible height.
This is not the end. One season later, the Lakers made a comeback. After the first 60 games were unfavorable, the Lakers used their last 22 games and finally scored 70 wins again, making the Lakers the first and only one in history. A team that has won at least 70 regular season games for three consecutive seasons.
Such a record can be described as Zhen Gu Shuo Jin, which is not an exaggeration.
This season, with three consecutive 70 wins and three consecutive championships, the Lakers, known as the most powerful dynasty in history, are still strong. They issued the slogan of four consecutive championships before the start of the season, and the regular season also proved it again. Their strength has lost 2 games in the first 50 games and 6 games in the first 70 games.
The Lakers seem to be only one step away from winning 70 regular season games in four consecutive seasons.
But no one thought that the last 12 games would be played so hard!
In order to prevent the Lakers from achieving 70 wins for four consecutive seasons, other teams in the league seem to be crazy. As long as they encounter the Lakers, they will definitely do their best, and then collectively explode!
"The temptation to defeat the Lakers and prevent them from becoming a legend is really too big." On April 2, after accidentally losing to the penultimate king of the West in an away game, Barkley expressed such emotion.
Throughout the season, the Kings have been working hard for the No. 1 pick in the next season. They already have Cousins as an inside core, and they also have the best rookie like Evans in the back. They only need to continue to make a difference in the draft. As a result, they have a good chance to reproduce the successful track of Thunder.
So even though they are good, they are still playing bad this season. However, in their penultimate game of the season, they fought a crazy battle against the Lakers who have long been determined to be the number one in the league.
Not to mention the return of Evans, Cousins, who used to like to play soy sauce, also exploded on both offensive and defensive ends. At the last moment, the Lakers trailed by 2 points, but when they had a lore, the Kings actually played the best of the season. Once offensive and defensive, their defense forced the Lakers to near the center line, which caused Kobe's three-pointer to slip out of the basket. The Lakers also regretted to lose 109-107, a two-point difference, and once again missed a chance to win 70.
And the way of losing this game is exactly the same as the way they lost to the Warriors a few days ago. These teams, which were already desperate, exploded with the highest energy and best state of the entire season when they played the Lakers.
That's why Barkley's sigh was heard.
That’s right, this is the reality. Today’s Lakers are the sweet pastries in the eyes of fans, but they are also the public enemy of all other teams in the entire league, whether they are potential competitors in the playoffs or the big brothers in the east next door, or lost seasons. All teams with playoff opportunities want to be famous by beating the Lakers.
So the last 12 games can be called the toughest schedule for the Lakers in the past few seasons, not even one of them.
Now, they are at the crossroads. The last game was won and 70 victories were achieved in 4 consecutive seasons. The Lakers will become the most unsolvable regular season team in history. No matter who they encounter in the playoffs, they will let their opponents fail. Fight first.
Losing, the Lakers’ 70 consecutive wins and the legend will be lost, and they will be the last step, which will make them bear more pressure than any place before. The most serious is that they will have almost no time to adjust their mentality. .
7 games and 3 wins and 4 losses entered the playoffs. This will also allow other teams to see the opportunity to counterattack the Lakers. The Lakers' playoff journey will undoubtedly be more thorny.
In fact, even if it is a loss, this is already the fifth best record in league history. Before the Bulls turned out in 1996, this was the best record in the league. Except for 4 teams with 70 wins. In addition, there are only three teams, the Lakers, the Celtics and the Bulls.
But there is no way. In the 1997 season, the Bulls lost the league's first record, the Jazz lost, and the Western Conference first record, but in the 1996 season, the Bulls won the first record at the time, although the 69 wins in the second year were amazing enough. , But the media will believe that Jordan in 1997 has declined relative to that in 1996.
This directly led to Jordan's averaging 29.6 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.7 steals, and the team's second best record in history at the time. He lost to Malone in the regular season MVP selection.
It can only be said that Jordan has spoiled everyone. If his data is changed to an individual, you will be dazzling enough, but because he is Jordan, it will appear so "prosaic."
This is also a problem facing the Lakers and Ji Feng.
Therefore, in the last game, the Lakers have countless reasons not to lose ~EbookFREE.me~ But the Lakers' condition is not very good. After days of intense confrontation, Bynum's knee is showing signs of recurrence. This is for the Lakers. That is definitely not good news. As the Lakers' inside gate and defensive barrier, Bynum's role is undoubted, but the glass properties of his knees made the Zen Master have to decide that he will miss the last game.
"Coach, I can play!" Bynum took the initiative to find Zen Master. He didn't want to miss such an important game. If he loses because of his absence, he will regret it for a lifetime. This may be the true thinking of most athletes.
And the other one who had to take turns was Lao Yu. He was replaced in the last game because of thigh muscle cramps, which also made him miss the last game. After all, although Lao Yu's condition has declined severely this season, Zen Master I trust this old man who has worked with him for many years, and at the critical moment, the old fish is indeed trustworthy, which is very important in the playoffs.
But the old fish also said: "Isn't it just a cramp? I have pumped too many times in the past ten years. It's not a reason. Let me play it. Any substitute will do."
Obviously, he thought the same way as Bynum.
However, the Zen master can only express regretfully: "Listen, man, 70 wins are tempting, but our goal is still the playoffs and even the finals. So, really, if you can, I hope all the injured Denver is too far to stay in Los Angeles."
The implication is that even Kobe has thought about taking turns.
And this time, Ji Feng stood up: "I promise, I will bring the victory back from Denver, I promise."
