(About the team's record in the book, the Fisherman is not yy. A book friend said before, the Rockets won so many consecutive victories, the Knicks won so many consecutive victories, and the Supersonics record is so strong. Is it a Fisherman in yy? How could it be so strong? The actual situation is indeed like that. The Rockets' first 23 games of this season was 22 wins and 1 loss, and the one that lost was to the Hawks. The Rockets' East away trip was defeated by the Hawks after playing the Knicks. The Rockets lost a bit tragic in that game, while the Supersonics won 20 games in the first 22 games. These are all historical facts in the NBA. The Fisherman is still

It is more respectful to objective facts. Although the schedule in the book has been adjusted and may be different from reality, the Fisherman also said that the general trend of the season when the heroes competed for it was that at the beginning of the season, the strong were extremely strong, and almost every team of the middle-level team had major changes in the offseason and needed to be run-in, so these middle-level teams had almost no combat power at the beginning of the season. The Fisherman also mentioned it in the book before. After these teams were run-in, both the Rockets, the Knicks, or the Supersonic Suns would not gain any advantage. Well, this is a little explanation from the Fisherman.)

On December 8, 1993, the home team locker room of the Houston Rockets' home court at Compaq Center. At this time, all the players of the Western Conference No. 1 team, who had just finished the game with the Heat, did not have the joy of winning the game. Almost everyone was a little quiet. Some players even looked at the door from time to time, as if they were waiting for some news.

As a new rookie to join the team this year, Sam Kassel was also a little nervous at this time. As a rookie, he could be appreciated by the team as soon as he entered the league. This team is actually a championship-level team, so it is definitely a very lucky thing for this rookie. Therefore, after the start of this season, Kassel worked very hard and was extremely nervous, because in such a team, unless he becomes the core of the team, no player can have a stable position. As long as it does not meet the team's needs for victory, he will be cleaned up.

Although Kassel is a rookie, he is also very clear about such cruelty. So after coming to the team, he had to work hard to do everything he had, because he knew that he could not be a player like Lin Han. Although he was good at strength, he didn't think he could become the core of this team now. There was only one core of this team, that is the big man sitting not far away, Olajuwon.

At this time, Olajuwon's face was as deep as water, so others must also be as deep as water. This made Kassel very envious and longing. He very much hoped that he would be like Olajuwon one day.

What is Olajuwon waiting for at this time? As the current NBA center, he has just led the team to 17 consecutive victories this season, and his data is also excellent. The best week announced yesterday, he won the first week of the season. In the latest MVP rankings, he is also ranked first. It can be said that in this season where many heroes compete, the Rockets can be said to be the first team to truly show their ability to win the championship. Now the praise of Olajuwon by major media across the United States can be said to be overwhelming. Life is so perfect, is Olajuwon still dissatisfied?

Olajuwon is indeed a little dissatisfied now, and this dissatisfaction comes from a player and a team that Kassel envied just now, Lin Han and Lin Han's Utah Jazz.

Without Lin Han and Lin Han's Jazz, the Houston Rockets and Olajuwon would have been satisfied with this situation. Now that he has more than these two things, he will really not be satisfied.

Just as the Rockets were waiting for something, the team's head coach Tom Janovic walked in. After whispering in Olajuwon's ear for a while, Olajuwon's originally silent expression became even more silent. Even Thorpe, who was sitting next to Olajuwon, shook his head in disappointment.

After seeing this scene, the other Rockets players naturally knew what was going on. It was very simple. Lin Han won the game with the Jazz again!

I don't know when it started, but it has become a normal practice for the Houston Rockets to pay attention to the results of the Utah Jazz and caring about Lin Han's performance on the court. It can be said that since the team won the entire league, the Jazz and the Rockets, the Jazz are like the thorn behind the Rockets, making this player perform very well this season, so outstanding that he would never imagine that the team would dislike him very much.

That's right, the Rockets don't like the Jazz now. This is not just the competitive relationship between the two teams, but more importantly, their boss Olajuwon doesn't like the Chinese very much and stole their boss' best young rookie.

The opposition between Olajuwon and Lin Han created by the media for a while ago made the Rockets almost treat Lin Han as an enemy. In this case, when such an enemy team can always pester you, you can't like it or relax.

Any team will relax after winning 17 games in a row. This is inevitable. NBA players will be strong, but they are not machines. Since they are not machines, there will be times when they are slack and sometimes bad situations. Therefore, it is difficult for NBA teams to win more than 15 consecutive games. Even if they are strong, they will miss the front.

Moreover, these winning streaks may not hope that they will really win. In the NBA field, it is naturally a good thing to win. No one doesn’t like victory or failure, but victory also depends on the time.

The Rockets' state came out too early this season, which surprised them themselves, but the state appeared early. If it was not regulated, the future would be very worrying. So if the Jazz had not followed them this year, the Rockets would have started to adjust their state a few games before.

And now? Because of the Jazz's existence, the Rockets must grit their teeth and persevere. Players must persist and endure it, losing earlier than they can than the Jazz. And this is also Olajuwon's own request. He does not allow his team to lose to Lin Han's team in this area.

This is also the reason why Rockets players look depressed after winning the game. No one wants their nerves to keep tense. Moreover, this is just the beginning of the season and not the playoffs. Although the Jazz on the other side is similar, the Jazz's atmosphere is completely different. The Jazz's winning streak has nothing to do with the team's condition. In fact, the Jazz's leading player's condition has not been very good since the beginning of the season. The Jazz, who was considered mediocre, can bite the Rockets now because Lin Han really created a miracle. He was saved by him in many games that he would lose.

At this point, the Rockets do not have such players, and they naturally suffer losses. Of course, the Rockets do not know this. They only know that Lin Han and the Jazz are with them, so they cannot lose.

"That rookie is really good, and in this game, the Jazz's opponent Washington Bullets played away, and their strength is too poor. Maybe the next game will be fine. The Jazz have been resting for so long at home to challenge the Nuggets away. This is a difficult game. However, our next opponent, the Hawks, is not easy to play. This team has performed very well recently. Dominic Wilkins also wants to prove himself this season."

Seeing that the player in his team was depressed, Rockets coach Tom Janovic also said comfortably, and at this time Olajuwon nodded, as if expressing his agreement.

In fact, as the Rockets and Tom Janovic imagined, they had the Hawks above December 10, and this game was very difficult to play. Dominic Wilkins played a lot of impact in this game, and the Rockets, like the Jazz, started away for the first time after a long home game. They were a little uncomfortable. The Hawks, led by Dominic Wilkins, made the Rockets pay 30 fouls and 39 free throws in the whole game. If it weren't for Olajuwon and Maxville, they almost had a desperate position in the playoffs. The two Rockets players scored a total of 65 points in this game and defeated the Hawks 128-124. The Rockets' first defeat in this game was achieved.

I have to say that after more than a month of regular season, the strength of many strong teams that need to be adjusted in at the beginning of the season has gradually increased, and the Hawks are one of the examples.

What made the Rockets speechless was that they defeated the Hawks with great energy on the away game, and the Jazz also won. Although the Jazz played against the Nuggets away and encountered the same problem as the Rockets, no matter what, the Jazz still won 111-105. In other words, both teams won 18 consecutive games and were still tied for first place, and the Rockets still did not leave the Jazz behind.

Of course, at this time, the Rockets and Jazz were on the rise, and neither of them was willing to lose first, but the competition between these two teams definitely shocked the entire league.

You should know that when the Jazz and Rockets both won 18 consecutive games, these two teams had tied the Knicks in the 69-70 season and the Celtics in the 81-82 season, and ranked tied for the third consecutive game record of the league. The top two were the Bucks with 20 consecutive games. At that time, Jabbar led the team in the 70-71 season and the strongest 33 consecutive games in history. The Lakers created 71-72 consecutive games under the leadership of Shuai Zhang and Jerry West.

"I have no idea when these two teams will stop their madness. It seems that these two teams are invincible. This is one of the most interesting scenery in NBA history."

"It's not wise for them to spend too much energy at the beginning of the season."

"The MVP battle in the regular season of the season is now open, with Olajuwon, Ma Long and Lin Han leading the way"

"After half a week, only one team can laugh and say the last, the winner will surpass the Bucks to become the second in history!"

For the NBA, because of Jordan's departure, everyone was worried that the NBA's attractiveness would decrease. However, since Lin Han entered the league, the NBA has not seen any decline in attractiveness. Almost every once in a while, there will be a big news related to Lin Han. At this time, almost all media in the United States have focused on the winning streak between the Rockets and the Jazz.

When such a competition started, the Jazz and Lin Han were actually a little confused because they never thought that things would turn out like this. In fact, Jazz head coach Jerry Sloan never thought that his team had not lost yet, and they had never thought about competing with the Rockets.

However, when they naturally came to the 18-game winning streak and were reminded by this group of media, they realized that they were about to set a record.

"John, we are not familiar with each other yet? I don't feel anything at all? Is this true? Are we really winning 18 consecutive games?"

So, when the media beat the Nuggets on December 11, and the Rockets beat the Hawks, the next day, Malone, the head of the team, looked confused in the hotel where the Jazz stayed, and Lin Han and Stockton were not much better.

"Okay, no matter what, this is a good thing. The news is that as long as we beat the Rockets away on December 15, we can create a record of 21 consecutive victories? It's not that far."

Finally, as the leader of the team, Stockton also thought for a while and said, to be honest, he was a little unbelievable now. His team had won 18 games in a row, and he didn't feel it. But compared with the heartless Malone, the team's brain knew very well what the reason for this happened.

So after saying that, the Jazz point guard looked at Lin Han who was holding a book he couldn't understand and was hiding there while reading a book. This kid was the biggest reason for the team's changes this season.

However, Stockton was so angry that he was so angry that he was still so stupid that he was not good at the team meeting. In the future, he would have to adjust the "training" in the future.

Of course, the Jazz, who was on the road trip at this time, was preparing to pursue the second consecutive win in history under Stockton's leadership. Why isn't it the first consecutive win in history? Joke, fools will stare at the 33 consecutive wins, unless Lin Han is really Jordan, then Malone Gastockton Galinken may be able to break the Lakers' record back then, but it is obvious that Lin Han is Jordan? Of course not.

In this case, the Jazz defeated the Timberwolves, the last team in the league, again on December 11. The final score was 104 to 94. The Timberwolves performed quite tenaciously in this game, especially the team rookie, Laidel and Lin Han, one of the four small super swingers, met. The two played again. Laidel scored 36 points, and Lin Han scored 27 points. Lin Han did not have enough physical fitness in this back-to-back game. In the last game against the Nuggets, both Jazz and Lin Han were pitted by the Nuggets. The center named Mutombo was simply super amazing in this game. This young team is a nerve knife, and no one knows what will happen during the game. If the Jazz hadn't worked hard, the Jazz would have lost in the last game.

But no matter what, after winning the Timberwolves in the second away game of this away game, the Jazz's winning streak came to 19 games. Immediately after, the Rockets, who also went on the East away game, defeated the New York Knicks 94-85 one day after the Jazz's victory. In this civil war between the three centers, facing Ewing who was rushing back, Olajuwon, who was furious with Lin Han and the Jazz, scored 37 points, 13 rebounds and 5 times in this game.

With 5 assists and 4 steals, he almost completed 5x5 data. As for his opponent, Ewing, one of the three centers, made 4 of 20 shots in this game, scored 12 points and 8 rebounds. It can be seen that Ewing, a super center that is determined to be MVP, is determined to be the champion of the league this season, and is really cheated by Lin Han. The direct conversation with Olajuwon lost so badly that he almost ruined all his hopes of competing for MVP in the regular season.

After defeating the Knicks, the Rockets also came to a 19-game winning streak, and the Jazz and Rockets once again stood at the same starting line.
