29 consecutive wins!!! Who can stop this Lakers??? - New York Times.
Experts predict that the probability of the Lakers defeating the Philadelphia 76ers in their next game is greater than 87.9%! - Orange County Chronicle.
A crazy 30-game winning streak is coming! How did the Lakers get to where they are today step by step? -Miami Herald.
This is a legendary season, the purple and gold are resurrected!!! - Los Angeles Times.
These are the real "Four Kings"! Did you see it? Dwight Howard? Leaving our Lakers will be your biggest loss! - Laker Nation.
Sure enough, in the game on April 6th, the Lakers defeated the second-to-last team in the Eastern Conference without a fight, and the Philadelphia 76ers, the worst team in recent years. Since Iverson left, they have plummeted.
Entering the playoffs is a luxury. Kobe once again scored 33 points, only taking 18 shots. He was at his peak next to Steve Nash. His off-ball efficiency was better than last season.
Undoubtedly more powerful! Even more terrifying! However, it was only half the game and the Lakers already led their opponents by 19 points.
In the second half, neither Kobe Bryant nor Gasol played much. It was Nash and Tang Qian who played the leading role. With Nick Young returning from injury, the Lakers' firepower suddenly upgraded again. Really, Steve Nash is really suitable for inspiring
This kind of shooting outsider with weak independent offensive ability, by his side, you only need to move carefully, and then find the space, ready to take action at any time.
Nick Young has a strong three-point shooting ability, and he is not an ordinary open three-pointer. He is a shooter with good top shot and strong shooting ability. As long as you give him the right opportunity, open three-pointers will exceed
40% is not a problem. After all, people have done it in the future, and they have this skill 100% of the time.
In this way, Kobe and Gasol only played 20+ minutes, and the Lakers still scored 115 points! Of course, one of the reasons is that the 76ers are indeed too weak. On the other hand, it also proves that the Lakers are
The offensive firepower began to slowly reach its peak.
The return of Meeks and Nick Young gives the Lakers two more three-pointers with good firepower on the bench, and with Steve Nash by his side, the two of them can easily shoot career-best shots.
Peak hit rate comes out.
Accurate, refreshing and not tiring!
The efficiency is astonishingly high!
Where can you find such a good thing? So since Nash came back and took full control of the ball, the Lakers' overall offense has been completely activated. And the person who activated the team is just one simple person.
It's so powerful!
The momentum of the whole team is gradually rising, which is very beneficial for the upcoming playoffs!
Because basketball is an overall sport, no matter how strong the starting players are, it is impossible to win consecutively. Therefore, Nash’s contribution is no worse than that of Kobe and Tang Qian. Not to mention that he himself is still a super stable historical level.
Three-point shooter. This has virtually allowed the Lakers' peripheral firepower to rise to the top of the league.
Coupled with D'Antoni's running and gunning and small ball play, the Lakers have completely transformed from a positional team to a sports team. If you carefully calculate the Lakers' scores during this period, you will find that their
In terms of points per game, he is firmly ranked first in the league, and there is a gap of several points between him and second place.
76ers head coach Brett Brown shook his head at the post-game press conference and said:
This Lakers team has entered a new level of scoring! There are few teams in the league that can compete with them offensively!
He was thinking about fighting tonight, but the result was disastrous.
The 76ers lost to their opponents by a full 32 points!
30 wins in the season achieved!!! A kind of "Lake Fever" suddenly appeared in the league. Everyone was afraid of avoiding the Lakers. It's not surprising, 30 consecutive wins in the season! This is a detailed count of the history of the NBA.
It only happened once, and now, what they are doing is the second time. And coincidentally, they are all in Los Angeles, and they are all with the Lakers.
This is not a big tragedy. With 30 consecutive wins in a single season, they are only ranked second in team history. This is a bit too much.
30 consecutive wins!!! This not only alarmed the previous generation of Lakers celebrities, but also the old monsters of the previous generation could not help but express their feelings:
I hope the Lakers players will keep up the good work and catch up with the 33-game winning streak in one go! - Gail Goodrich.
Great enough!!! 33 consecutive wins are waiting for you!!! This season is destined to be legendary!!! - Jerry West.
If it were someone else, I would definitely be cursing in my heart! But if it was still the Lakers, then I can only say, come on, this is the blood tradition of purple and gold players!!! - Happy Hairston.
These people were all the creators and experiencers of the Lakers' 33-game winning streak. If Wilt Chamberlain was still here, with his "big mouth", he would probably have to publish a long and pretentious speech.
Who can stop Los Angeles??? This title has now become the title of the entire league! 30 consecutive wins, this is really terrifying! If you have not experienced it personally, you have no idea how terrible this record is. In other words,
, the Lakers have not lost for about 2 months!!! Their losses are still at 13 losses!!! Starting from 37 wins and 13 losses, only the former is beating, and no one can beat the latter.
Shaken!!!
For a time, the "racist tape" of Clippers owner Sterling has become a minor hot topic, at least in the NBA and in the basketball field. Everyone only cares about one thing: who can end the Lakers' winning streak.
momentum???
Who can beat this Los Angeles Lakers team???
& and other authoritative media have conducted voting and pre-selection in this regard. Las Vegas has even "advanced with the times" and opened a small handicap on who can end the Lakers' winning streak in the remaining games. Anyway, at the moment
In the American basketball world, the Lakers, 30 consecutive wins, 33 consecutive wins, defeat, have become hot keywords, and even a basketball fan cannot avoid talking about them.
T.N.T reporter Kate Marin is simple and easy to understand, quoting the Lakers' words at the beginning of the season:
Winter.is.ing! Winter is coming! The purple and gold storm is sweeping across the alliance!
At that time, everyone regarded the slogan of the Lakers as a joke and the butt of the joke. Looking back now, it is simply appropriate.
So this slogan began to spread in the alliance again.
The Lakers have quietly become a real seed team, competing with the Spurs and Heat. No, maybe during this period, the Lakers are the No. 1 team! No one knows how to describe the changes in the Lakers.
, as if all of a sudden, they have returned to their place as gods and become the big devil. Thunder team? Now no one is optimistic that they can beat this Lakers team in the playoffs.
The next opponent, the Houston Rockets, currently has 51 wins and 25 losses. Can they stop the Lakers' winning streak?
Now every game of the Lakers has become a topic of great interest to everyone. Everyone hopes that a dark horse will appear, but also hopes that this winning streak can continue. With this ambivalent mentality, on April 8th, the Lakers regular
Game 78 of the tournament has arrived.
In fact, the core of the Rockets is an internal and external combination, Harden + Howard, at least this season, it is still very eye-catching. They are both in their twenties and in the prime of life. And they are also the first players rated by ESPN at the beginning of the game.
.
Of course, now it seems more like a joke, and ESPN is embarrassed to mention it again.
Harden is naturally not that stupid. Kobe's performance this season is too strong. Even Jordan at his peak will probably not be able to take advantage. He is currently only a player between the peak of the All-Stars and the quasi-star. In addition to the All-Stars, the honor bag contains
Only one of last year's All-NBA Third Team can win, and there are no other honors. This is comparable to the Lakers' matchup on No. 24, and it's almost as if my brain is flooded. This season's All-NBA guard positions include the first team and the first defense.
, one of them was booked in advance. If Harden wanted to squeeze in, he would have to compete with other people for the only remaining spot.
Howard was a little dissatisfied. He said in an interview:
He feels that his physical condition is getting better and better, and he will not take it lightly tonight! He will definitely go all out to defeat his opponent!
But after Tang Qian heard this, he didn't think so, because he and Howard were rivals, and there was a well-known feud, so he directly opened his mouth and said:
Taking it lightly? I think this is not a word that a weak person should use! And I am looking forward to his so-called all-out effort!
Howard naturally heard what Tang Qian said, but he has fought with Tang Qian several times this season and has never won. So he doesn't have enough confidence to fight hard!
When I win tonight, see how I mock you!
Howard held back his anger and could only comfort himself in his heart.
But Kevin McHale did not initially arrange for Howard to focus on the inside. Instead, he asked him to come out to do high pick-and-rolls, and then look for opportunities to shoot down the line. However, the tacit understanding between Harden and him was not particularly easy at all. Howard will leave the Rockets in the future.
It's the same rhetoric again. He thinks Harden is too sticky to the ball and too selfish. Therefore, after using the pick-and-roll, Harden rarely passes the ball to Howard. Basically, he takes the opportunity to break through Kobe and go for three-pointers by himself.
Look for opportunities inside the line to score points.
Howard is secretly annoyed about this. The initial sweet period is gradually fading. In fact, if you compare Harden's style of play, it is obviously more dependent on the ball than the Lakers' No. 24. You let him play without the ball and just be himself.
There is basically no way to do it. The all-inclusive style of play is the path Harden has set for his future. Without the ball? Everyone performs their duties? What is that?
Can you help me increase the data?
The current Deng brother has just come out as the boss and wants to get more data and personal honors. To be honest, he has never seriously thought about this issue in his heart. So at this stage, Howard encountered the desire to win a championship.
Harden played "happy basketball", but he gradually discovered that he didn't like this so-called "happy basketball" so much.
Perhaps, he just wants to play "happy basketball" by himself.
Tang Qian saw that Howard hadn't even touched the ball a few times, so he couldn't help but joked: "Hey, are you isolated in the Rockets? No one passes the ball to you? Then why should I guard you? Right?"
"Stop talking nonsense! Dongfang, Oriental people!!! Shut up!!!" Howard remembered the scene where Anthony was punched and knocked out some time ago, and the words suddenly came to his lips and he changed his words.
"You still have a temper?" Tang Qian said with a smile: "But you are right to leave the Lakers."
"What?" Howard was about to compete with Tang Qian for an offensive rebound, but he had no chance at all this season. The former averaged 12+ rebounds per game, the latter averaged 21+ rebounds per game, and the latter
Or a defensive rebound. If Howard had taken it from the low post, Tang Qian would have been laughed to death by Rodman on the phone.
At the Staples Center, Bill MacDonald’s voice was the most intuitive:
Fang easily protected this defensive rebound. The "Warcraft" had no chance! There was no chance from the beginning to the end!
His rebounding ability may be good, but it is far from the best!
Tang Qian passed the basketball to Nash, and while running forward, he said to Howard: "Nothing, I just want to say that if you don't leave the Lakers, then given your current level, you are destined to be my substitute."
After Howard heard this, his eyes suddenly turned red.
