Vol 3 Chapter 407: 20 straight

(Chapter two)
Last season, because of the rise of the Jazz, the league’s winning streak has changed dramatically. For example, the longest winning streak in the league has changed from thirty-three to 37, and the league’s second longest. The winning streak has also changed from a 20-game winning streak to a 33-game winning streak.
But there is no doubt that, no matter what period of time, as long as a team can complete a 20-game winning streak, this is a quite amazing record. It is important to know that the team that has completed a 20-game winning streak throughout history is just The Jazz, Lakers, Bucks and Rockets last season are just a few teams.
That is to say, even though the first team in the league every year may be able to achieve more than 60 wins in the record, but not every year, there can be teams that have completed 20 consecutive victories, let alone Say one team led two different teams to do such a thing for two consecutive years!
Therefore, after the Lakers defeated the Magic to reach a 19-game winning streak, even in the most recent period, public opinion in the entire United States revolved around Lin Han once again and drove down more than 90 points and was defeated by the Lakers in Lin Han. Rockets like this, but when such a winning streak appears, it is still once again a huge focus of the media and public opinion.
After all, before the start of this season, don’t say whether the Lakers can win a 20-game winning streak, even if the Lakers can enter the playoffs, this is a huge problem, this team is really the most of the league Of the media believe that it is the bottom team in the league, and now, this team not only has no bottom, but also became the first in the league in one fell swoop, and may become the only one in the league this season and the other in the history of the league to reach the second season. Ten-game winning team. If this kind of thing is to tell everyone at the beginning of the season that it belongs to Lin Han, it belongs to the honor of the Lakers. I am afraid that anyone who believes can only be a fool, and even a fool may not believe it.
And now. Everything that seems extremely hypocritical is becoming more and more true, because as long as the Lakers can beat the sixth Western Conference Nuggets, this team can achieve a record of 20 wins in the season, although the Nuggets The strength of the team is quite strong. Even at the beginning of this season, it was called the nemesis of the Lakers. The Lakers' inside players can hardly take any advantage in front of Mutombo, but the Lakers even the Rockets West The first strong inside team has been defeated. Will a sixth strong inside team in the west have any difficulty?
Of course, although such a can beat b. b can beat c, so a can also beat c. Such a theory is not so correct. But for most of the media and journalists in the league, when they talk about the Lakers, they are willing to use this theory. Put it on the heads of Lin Han and the Lakers.
According to the theory of these guys, not to mention the regional Nuggets, even if any team in the league, the Lakers can be defeated as long as the theory is applied. Because the Rockets have really defeated all the league teams this season, and the Lakers can beat the Rockets, naturally it can beat all the teams in the league, and in fact. After defeating the Rockets this season, the Lakers have indeed achieved such a super record against all the teams in the league.
It's just obvious that any opponent in NBA is not so good to deal with, let's say the Lakers play against the Rockets. In the end, the Lakers lost the ball, so this Lakers may be a lot better to face the Nuggets. Because the Lakers lost that game, the Rockets can basically determine the reality of their first in the West. And now, the first in the West and the league is the Lakers, the Rockets is the second, then for the Nuggets in the sixth, they will not be willing to accept the fate of losing to the seventh in the west, after all, in the west After the eighth is occupied by the Suns, the seventh in the west means playing the second rocket in the west. If the Rockets are still the first, for the Nuggets and the Warriors, it does not matter who is sixth and seventh, because Facing the Lakers is similar to facing the Spurs, but now it is far worse.
So, don’t look at the last game, the Magic gave the Lakers a horse or sent a gift to the Lakers. Hello, I am also good. It looks like the Lakers are taking advantage. In fact, the Lakers are after all this season. It is impossible to play the Magic and Bulls again. In the remaining ten games of the season, the Lakers will face the most opponents in the West. The West team won the Rockets and completely disturbed the situation. After that, these teams were really unable to get rid of it by the Lakers, so the Lakers actually dug a huge pit for themselves. To put it seriously, the Lakers defeated the Rockets to make the West for the east. 'West traitor'.
Therefore, for most of the media and fans who seem to be extremely relaxed opponents, the Lakers are really nervous, because there is no advantage inside, so the Lakers have the possibility of losing against any strong team inside. In addition, at this time, the Nuggets are in a desperate state. Based on the situation that this team played in the playoffs last year and was able to fight the Rockets for seven games, if the Lakers really take a nap , Then this game may be destroyed by the Nuggets just like the beginning of the season, so for the preparation of this game, the Lakers did quite well.
It's just that even in this game, the Lakers almost made preparations to the fullest extent, even allowing Lin Han to simulate Mutombo's defense during training, although Linhan's height is higher than that of Mutombo It was really more than one or two points worse, but the two were actually somewhat similar in defensive ability and defensive style, so when the magician was training, Lin Han brought a group of shooters such as Van Exel and Ruffin to simulate digging The gold team's style of play, I hope the team can get a little familiar with this team's style of play, so that after the start of the game you can preempt the game.
When the Lakers' pre-match layout has been achieved, when the game started, although the Lakers did indeed give the Nuggets a pre-game layout because they are more prepared, but with the game The progress, such preemptive advantage slowly lost, the Nuggets quickly established a foothold, the Lakers and the Nuggets quickly became a very tangled state. Especially after Lin Han's character fell to only 30 points again, when Lin Han faced the strong team inside, the most probable shooting percentage of outside three-point shots fell somewhat. The strength gap between the two sides is actually infinitely close.
So, after this game started. The Lakers are almost in the leading position except for the first few minutes. After the game, the difference between the two sides is actually very close. If it is not the game, the Lakers are indeed better prepared than the Nuggets. If they are not the Lakers. After the team started the game, those leading advantages did become the key points of this game, although the Nuggets were able to bite the Lakers, but in the end they could not completely turn the score back, then the Lakers are really possible in this game. Lose the game.
And in the end, March 29, 1995. The Los Angeles Lakers played against the sixth Western Conference Nuggets. With Lin Han 14 of 31 shots in the game, a man scored 38 points. The Lakers defeated the Nuggets 98 to 94, and the Lakers defeated. The Nuggets, after winning the first consecutive win in the Western Conference away, also achieved the goal of a 20-game winning streak.
After the Los Angeles Lakers reached a 20-game winning streak, this team also became the third team to win a 20-game winning streak after the Rockets and Bucks, tied with the Rockets and the Bucks to become the third longest winning streak in the league. team.
Although this streak record seems to have no special honor for the Lakers. There is not much value to Lin Han, even the bronze streak rewards have not been reached. You know, last year Lin Han created a 37-game winning streak after the Jazz. Now if you want to get a winning streak in the winning streak, you need to achieve a 33-game winning streak, which is a bronze-level reward. More than thirty-three winning streak is silver, tied with thirty-seven consecutive streak is gold. Beyond the 37-game winning streak is Zijin.
With the current Lakers situation, even if all win this season. It is also impossible to reach a 33-game winning streak, so it is impossible for Lin Han to get any reward in this streak.
But even so, the Lakers are quite hungry for this honor. You know, in the entire league, only Lakers fans have held celebrations for their team’s longest winning streak, and it has been for more than two decades. In the city of Los Angeles, the Lakers fans actually value the winning streak of these teams. After Lin Han led the Jazz to replace the Lakers’ longest winning streak in the league last year, the legendary veterans of the Lakers are not. How do you feel? Except that Pat Riley is a little unhappy with Lin Han, people like Jerry West Chamberlain and others are actually quite generous to Lin Han, but the Lakers fans were not so generous at that time. Although he was so stingy that he accused Jazz and Lin Han, he never said anything about blessings.
"Lin, now you and the Lakers are really unstoppable. I found that apart from the Rockets, we don’t want to meet the Lakers, but after losing this game, we became the seventh in the West. Rockets, I’m afraid I’ll have one.

Of course, after winning a 20-game winning streak, Lin Han and the Lakers were also very happy, but it was clear that as a loser, Lin Han's good friend Mutombo was not happy at this time.
"Dikembe, some media recently said that you have some conflicts with the head coach of your team, is it true?"
Looking at this time, the mood was obviously not just a friend who was unhappy because of the loss. Lin Han also asked after a little stunned, but soon, Mutombo shook his head slightly with a bitter smile.
"I don't have any problems with the team coach, mainly because there are some problems with the team, I have some problems with the Nuggets on the team's construction issues."
After Mutombo said, Lin Han also sighed a little helplessly. In NBA, it is very common for a team boss and the team to have problems in team building ideas. Even Jordan and the Bulls have appeared like this. The problem, even if it has been played by the general manager of the Bulls, let alone Mutombo, when the team and the player have conflicts in the team building idea, in general, the player can't get the team, even if Jordan was originally Haven't overturned the Bull's general manager.
"Maybe the kid from Kobe was right. Anyway, my contract is only one year old, but in 1996, I left the team freely and went to a new team with Lat."
Perhaps because of the face of Lin Han, Mutombo, who was somewhat repressed recently, also complained a little, and after Mutombo said. Lin Han was speechless.
Mutombo and Sprewell ran to a team to form a new team, which is of course quite good. But the point is, Lin Han has always had a very big idea for Mutombo. Now Lin Han hasn't asked his friend if he is willing to fight for himself. He didn't expect this guy to be tempted by Kobe's argument, this is not enough!
"Dikembe, you must not talk about such things with Rut now, and never show that the team intends to leave, otherwise the Nuggets will definitely trade you before your contract expires, although There is only one year left for your contract, but if you spend the last year with the Yulin team, your basketball style is not based on data. When the data is not up, the score will drop again, and your value will be Greatly discounted"
"Well, I know, if you remind me, I am ready to contact Lat."
Looking at Lin Han's caring expression, Mutombo is also moved. He doesn't seem to have thought about the possibility that he might be retaliated by the Nuggets to trade with the fish-meat team. After all, he is not like Lin Han. Superstar. He's just an ordinary All-Star player, the Nuggets really have no reason to say, it is really possible to do such a thing.
Although this game against the Nuggets defeated the Nuggets and won the season's 20-game winning streak is a pretty good thing, but because of Mutombo's problems. Lin Han was not so happy at this time. If Mutombo is really connected with Sprewell, it would be bad. And now, when Mutombo does not show what his ambitions are. Lin Han couldn't rush to invite Mutombo to the Lakers, after all. If Mutombo is unwilling to become Lin Han’s assistant, Lin Han made such an invitation, which will make Mutombo repulsive to Lin Han. After all, this kind of thing is like a person who treats his own friend. Say, buddy, how about being my little brother. Although the little brother is also a friend, it seems even more intimate, but some people, he and you are friends, because you can deal with him on an equal basis, the status of the two is the same, There are no other factors. If this equivalence condition is broken, I am afraid that even friends will not be able to do it in the future.
If Mutombo is a player like Van Exel who does not have many big ambitions and has a very strong relationship with Lin Han, Lin Han can say it casually, but Mutombo is obviously not such a player, and from He and the Nuggets have conflicting views about the future, and he is definitely not without ambition.
After all, although this guy is just an ordinary All-Star, he is now the most popular center except for the four centers and Mourning. According to the outside world, after the three centers are old, O'Neill and Mourning and Mutombo is about to succeed. Although he is now an ordinary All-Star like Mourning, the entire United States is the other two of them who can become superstars as fast as O'Neill!
Lin Han had a headache when thinking of Mutombo.
Fortunately, Lin Han is not a very tangled person. Although the current development trend of Mutombo does not seem to go according to Lin Han’s ideas, after all, this matter cannot be solved in a short time, Muto Mbo's contract also took a while to expire, so Lin Han didn't think so much after a headache.
And now, the most important thing waiting for Lin Han is to challenge the Jazz away. When Lin Han and the Lakers returned to Salt Lake City again, when the special planes of Lin Han and the Lakers stopped for several games in Salt Lake City, When Lin Han and the Lakers players came out of several games, when Lin Han saw the crowd of jazz fans outside, and these jazz fans were still holding his poster and shouting his name At the time, Lin Han was very moved.
Even after boarding the bus with the team, these Jazz fans have followed the Lakers bus for a while, and watching these Jazz fans Lin Han was really moved.
Because in recent times Lin Han and the Lakers are in a raging situation~EbookFREE.me~ and the Jazz have fallen into a frantic competition with the supersonic fourth in the west. The gap between the two sides one day is almost so The fans of the Jazz are crazy, and even the general manager of the team, Scott Redden, who has a huge network in the Jazz, the general manager of the jazz godfather and his father are forced to resign because he does not resign, his good friend Jerry Sloan is about to resign as a scapegoat, and in the end, for the stability of the team, Leiden chose to resign at the expense of himself.
Even after Raiden resigned, the anger of the Jazz fans temporarily subsided, but it is impossible to make these fans forget the former player who has already ranked first in the West. In this case, now The entire Salt Lake City is almost caught in a huge whirlpool!
The fans were dissatisfied with the team and the players, and the players were dissatisfied with the fans to drive away the team’s meritorious general manager. Even the team boss Miller was involved. At this moment, when it was about to explode, Lin Han’s biggest explosion point Once in this vortex, what will happen to Salt Lake City and the Jazz team, I am afraid it is quite difficult to say.
Obviously, the explosion of this huge vortex is only one fuse, and who brought this fuse in the end, it is really difficult to say. (To be continued...)
