Chapter 397 The longest winning streak of the season!
“It was a very interesting game, we had an interesting victory in Orlando, and we showed everyone our tenacity, so in my opinion, we won this game without any problem”
"Shak Shak is a very great player. Our relationship has always been pretty good. We had communication after this game. He was not in normal condition in this game. He felt very bad. He missed a lot of goals in this game, but we all know that he would not be like this in the next game."
"Shack's number of irons in this game surpassed Joe Falkes to become the third-ranked number of irons in NBA history, second only to Michael and Michael and I? Hahaha, this is very interesting. You know, ordinary people do not have such ability. Whether it is me, Michael or Shaq, we are unparalleled players. We can get a lot of scores, but sometimes we do have some problems. God can never stand by our side every moment, so I think no matter me, Michael or Shaq, we won't care too much about these things, of course, except for you."
"The Lakers' contraction defense in this game? This is indeed what I arranged in the game, because there is no way. Shaq is too strong. Whether we defend or not, he can shoot the basketball in his hand, so I told my teammates, let's give up, don't care about that fat man, we just need to hold the basket, and finally, I'm very happy that my teammates did a great job. They played an incredible game in this game... ≦ We beat one of the strongest inside teams in the league, and these are not my credit. I will thank my teammates for this game, they are the best group of guys in the whole NBA."
The Lakers away game against the Magic can definitely be called the most bizarre game of the season. In this game, as a strong inside team, the Magic's shooting percentage has not exceeded 40%. O'Neal, one of the four centers in the league, set a single game of the NBA inside players. Even at the end of this game, the Lakers, as the opponent, actually followed Lin Han and deliberately sent the rebound to O'Neal's hands, but O'Neal just missed the shot. Although such a game cannot be said to be fierce, the Lakers were almost leading the game. The Magic were almost in
There is no pressure on the Lakers in the score. In the same situation, the Magic have been pressing the Lakers to play. In the same situation, the Lakers have not put any pressure on the Magic in the situation. This is a game that seems impossible. A team with such a big advantage actually lost the game in the end, and they lost so much. Why is this? Obviously, after the game, everyone focused on O'Neal, who was frantically smacking the iron in this game. In this game, O'Neal surpassed Chamberlain and Falkers to become the third iron in the iron in the second half, second only to Lin Han and Jordan.
Even after the game, O'Neal, who was always quite optimistic and childish, felt a little urged to cry under Lin Han's comfort. He probably never thought that he would play such a game in his career. You know, before, when Lin Han made 62 irons and Jordan made 55 irons, as a super player in the league, O'Neal certainly could not have expressed his opinion on such things. Facing the crazy irons of Lin Han and Jordan. The head of the Magic team really maintained a mocking attitude. In O'Neal's view, as an inside player, it was impossible for him to have something like Lin Han and Jordan, but in the end he didn't expect that Lin Han did it, Jordan did it, and O'Neal did it, who would he ask for reason? You know, he made 20 of 26 shots in the last game, and this game turned out to be like this.
Of course, after the game, Lin Han was interviewed after the game, thinking of O'Neal's almost speechless and helpless expression on the outside, Lin Han felt it interesting. This made this fat man so owed a fight before. Seeing this guy dared to laugh at him for 62 times in the future.
Although O'Neal faced his terrifying iron score after the game, the inside player of the Magic team was really incredible, but fortunately, this optimistic big man was very outstanding in the adjustment of his form. When Lin Han comforted him, the fat man quickly recovered and immediately shouted that he would abuse Lin Han hard and regain his face next time. It seems that the head of the Magic team also knew that he would be tragic this time, and what's even more tragic is that his MVP this year is probably out of reach.
Most people may encounter such a blow, but O'Neal did not make Lin Han feel these things. This is what Lin Han admired O'Neal very much. In his rookie career, facing the abuse of the three centers at the time, he was able to become stronger and stronger. He made great progress in almost every season. He even became the fourth largest center this season with justifiable reputation. O'Neal's ability to resist strikes is simply a person with the template for the protagonist of the Cavaliers novel.
Of course, even players with the ability to resist strikes with the protagonist template will eventually go crazy when encountering such a situation. After this game, when Lin Han and Lakers players left Orlando and returned to Los Angeles, almost the whole United States was discussing the game wildly. Obviously, the focus of this game was not Lin Han who scored 41 points, but O'Neal who frantically made the third goal in history in the game.
After all, before this game, O'Neal was highly expected by most media. After all, he is the only player who can threaten Lin Han on MVP this season. Now O'Neal is like this. Lin Han almost established his position in the regular season MVP after this game. As long as the Lakers do not have a large-scale losing streak in the later game, as long as the Lakers can end this season safely, no one can compete with Lin Han. It can be said that the greater the hope these people have for O'Neal, the greater the disappointment they will gain in this game. In this case, even O'Neal has always been the darling of the media. At this time, they have encountered an extremely severe public opinion situation, and this directly shifted the focus of the media from Lin Han to O'Neal.
Therefore, when the media's focus shifted, Lin Han was still a little worried about whether O'Neal could hold on, but after finally seeing the character value that stopped declining on his attribute panel, Lin Han also threw these worries aside.
On March 12, 1995, the Los Angeles Lakers returned to home to face the Pacers, the third in the East. This year, the East has aging due to the dissolution and reconstruction of the New York Knicks, and the Cavaliers and Hawks. In addition, some internal strife of teams such as the Hornets, the Eastern Conference's record is generally quite bad this year. Before this season, the situation in the league has always been equal in the east and west. Sometimes the Eastern Conference's regular season is better and sometimes the West is better. Of course, even if it is good, it is not good.
To what extent, overall, the record of the East and West is similar. But in this season, any team in the top eight teams in the West can now rank in the top three if they throw in the East, even the Nuggets, the eighth-ranked East. The current record is 38 wins and 22 losses, while the Pacers, the third-ranked East, have a record of 37 wins and 23 losses. This year, any team in the East, except for the Magic and Bulls, is really unable to even enter the playoffs if they throw in the East.
As for the match between the eastern and western teams this season, according to statistics from some media, the Western teams have an astonishing 68% victory rate against the Eastern teams. In the entire Eastern team, there are only the Bulls and Magic, while other teams are almost one-sided weaknesses against the Western teams.
Under such circumstances, many teams even regarded the away game to the East this season as an adjustment, which would have been almost impossible for the past few years.
As for today's Lakers' opponent Pacers, the third-place team in the East has encountered quite a lot of problems this season, but the problems encountered by other Eastern teams are slightly less. However, this team is just the team's boss, Reggie Miller, still has not been able to regain his sense of the game from the changes in the league's three-point line. It is actually quite rare for this team to achieve such a result this season.
When the Pacers, who had almost an overall decline this season, met the Lakers, who are in good shape at present, and they were also away games for the continuous Western Conference trip, you can imagine how difficult this game is.
Although the Pacers are a strong inside team, the inside Dutchman Schmitz of this team is not the inside line that the Lakers fear. This soft-style inside line is definitely Rodman's favorite. Rodman, who had a break in the last game, had excellent condition and fighting spirit after his comeback in this game. After all, his teammates became so outstanding when facing O'Neal. If he couldn't handle this European this time, he would be a little embarrassed.
In this case, the Lakers and Pacers were almost directly in a one-sided situation. Just like when the Lakers were the away battalion leader of the Pacers, the Pacers also encountered great trouble in that game.
112-101, the Los Angeles Lakers, who were at home, defeated the third Pacers in the East by 11 points in this game. In this game, Lin Han scored 46 points in 16 of 29 shots in the game, while Reggie Miller made 4 of 11 shots, and only 2 of 5 three-pointers. This is not that Reggie Miller is unwilling to take more shots, but because after the three-point line is shortened, his running space has been greatly reduced. For running players, whether the space is enough is very important. If there is too little space, the team's screening is not in place, and the opponent's defensive players are extremely strong, it will be quite difficult. Reggie Miller encountered this season
There are many difficulties like this game. This season, Reggie Miller's offensive efficiency is the lowest value in his rookie's first two seasons, but the ball usage rate is the highest. In other words, when Reggie Miller's running position is not so easy, he chooses more of his own ball-holding attacks. Therefore, Reggie Miller's free throws this season are more than in previous seasons. I have to say that Reggie Miller is a very smart player and knows very well how to use his advantages, because he knows that even if his offense encounters difficulties, others will not give up on defense against his shooting. If he wants to make a foul, there is no problem.
However, even if he can make such a flexible approach, this is not a real Reggie Miller after all. For Lin Han, isn't he the most afraid of Reggie Miller that almost humiliates his running offensive ability? If he has no absolute advantage in running, Reggie Miller will not be as good as Lin Han in other aspects.
"Reggie, I believe you will be able to find your own way of playing again."
So, after the game, Lin Han also said comfortably after seeing this somewhat depressed friend, and Reggie Miller finally shook his head helplessly.
Although his abilities are indeed comprehensive and excellent, it is not so easy to regain the previous game. So when he saw Reggie Miller leaving the stadium with a little depressed dismay, Lin Han was also quite helpless.
Before, because Lin Han was a basketball novice, he basically had no understanding of the history of the NBA. In the past, he always heard his teammates and coaches say that changing any rules in the league would have a huge impact on the league. He used to be less intuitive. Now, from his friends, Lin Han really understands it quite well, especially seeing his teammate Rufen's current situation. As a rookie, Rufen can be regarded as the biggest discovery of a rookie this season. Trevor Rufen has improved from the position of the team's seventh man at the beginning of the season to the current position of the team's seventh man, and the average score per game is only comparable to that of
Lin Han Dominic Wilkins, Eddie Jones and Van Eksel were just low, and the average average of the season's score has reached 11 points per game, and the three-point shooting percentage has reached 39%, which is incomparable to Ruffin's comprehensive strength. According to the rules of last season, this guy had to make three-pointers without three-pointers. He had to make breakthroughs without breakthroughs, and his shooting was not stable. He did not have much vision for passing, and his skills were not very good. This is a typical player who has no effect, but the league only moved the three-point line one meter into it. This player who can't do anything has become an excellent three-point shooter. Who can I ask for?
Of course, there are many players like Ruffin in the league, but this is rewarded with the pain of players like Reggie Miller. Even shooters of Reggie Miller have been so miserable by a change in the league's rules. You can imagine what other players will look like. Especially when Lin Han thought that Jordan master Nima actually had a three-point shooting percentage of 45%, Lin Han was even a little worthy of Reggie Miller.
Because Reggie Miller is Lin Han's friend, Lin Han is a little unworthy of Reggie Miller. This is certain. However, the rules of the league cannot be changed just by Lin Han's change. Since the league wants to align with international basketball, there will probably be more and more changes in the rules in the future. Even if the league is crazy about allowing joint defense and believes that joint defense is no longer illegal defense, I am afraid that those breakthrough players in the league will have to cry.
When the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Pacers at home on March 12 and won the twelfth straight win in the last 12 games, two days later, on March 14, the Los Angeles Lakers were visiting Golden State to face the Warriors, currently the seventh in the Western Conference. This team has a record similar to that of the Pacers, but in terms of strength, the Warriors are stronger. This team is even the top five in the Western Conference. The reason why this team is currently the seventh in the Western Conference is not because of its strength, but because of the team's injuries too many. Chris Mullin has finally come back recently, and the team's two major inside players Sekali and Gugliotta are injured again. Throughout the season, the team has almost no more than 20 games when the staff is intact. So far, Chris Mullin only plays.
In less than 10 games, Sekali only played more than 20 games, while Gugliotta was slightly better, but this game was also slightly stretched. In this case, the Warriors even used the team that embarked Lin Han in the playoffs last season to embarrass Lin Han as the starter. In fact, due to the team's large-scale injury this season, Sterling averaged only 15 minutes of the game in the regular season last season, and this season has reached 26 minutes of the game, and the average data has also reached 14+8. With Sterling's playing time, it is quite rare to get such data. Even if Sterling did not stand up this season, the Warriors' record this year would probably be even worse.
However, although the Warriors' lineup is quite good, this game lacks the Warriors of Sekali and Gugliotta. They are still somewhat different from the Lakers in terms of strength. Originally, the biggest advantage of this team against the Lakers is their inside line. But now even with Sterling, the Warriors' inside line does not have that big advantage against the Lakers. As for the outside line, although the Lakers' outside line is not as good as the Bulls, it is definitely not much different from the Warriors. In addition, Lin Han continues to serve as the team's center in this game. Like last season's playoffs, Lin Han's damage to the Warriors' offense is so great that the Warriors' new coach Silver Fox Harris this season is a bit incredible.
"If the team cannot suppress Lin Han in the inside, the Warriors' outside team will not be able to face Lin Han at all?"
Seeing Chris Mullin, Spreville, even the King of Changes, Tim Hardaway, a little restrained when facing Lin Han, Harris was standing on the sidelines and frowned.
You know, the Lakers have won 12 games in a row. The pressure on the Spurs, which is second in the West, is getting stronger and stronger. In this case, it is possible for the Lakers to rank second in the West after the end of the season, and if the Warriors rank seventh in the West, that would be bad. Especially when Sekali doesn't know when he will come back, it seems unlikely that the team will want to defeat the Lakers with a small running and bombardment like last season.
"It's really troublesome"
After the game ended, Harris also said helplessly at the 118-105 score on the sidelines. Although he was very good at coaching the Warriors and the chaos in the team when Old Nelson left was also alleviated, for him, since he left the Bucks and came to the Warriors, he was not just to enter the playoffs, he wanted to make achievements in the team, since he wanted to make achievements, of course, he would never let his team be just a first round of the playoffs.
However, what made Harris extremely helpless is that the competition in the West this season is so great that it is incredible. With the current record of the Warriors, in previous years, whether it is the East or the West, it must be the top five in the West, but it is not stable this season in the West.
It would be so easy for the Warriors to make a difference this season. In the entire West, except for the Rockets who are sure to enter the second round, I am afraid that no other team dares to say that they will definitely be able to enter the second round. This is the situation in the West this year, which is too difficult.
"However, with the Lakers' aura this year, I'm afraid they will really get the second in the West?!"
When thinking about this, as the head coach of the Warriors, Harris, looked at Lin Han on the court who was greeting Spreeville after the game, and felt a little complicated for a moment.
He had the opportunity to become the head coach of the Lakers this year, and he had the opportunity to become Lin Han's head coach, but in the end, he came to the Warriors.
When Harris looked at the Magician on the side, he felt a little envious and jealous. Although an excellent head coach should not envy other teams for having better players, it depends on the situation. If it is a player of Lin Han and Jordan, it can really make people envious and jealous.
With Harris' eyesight, he could certainly see that if the Lakers did not have Lin Han this season, it would not be so easy for the Lakers to win 20 wins in the season. But in fact, after Lin Han, the Lakers' record has a great chance of 60 wins!
This is 60 wins. Even Jordan and Chamberlain may not be able to do it, right?
As a single-nuclear team of cancer, Lin Han was able to break the cancer limit of 50 wins, which made professionals like Harris fall into their glasses!
"If I were the head coach of the Lakers this season, I could do better than the Magic. If the Warriors could have a player like Lin Han, we would definitely win the championship!"
When Harris thought of this, he felt that his emotions were getting more and more unbalanced, but it was obvious that how could such a thing have any if?
After this game, Lin Han was coveted by Harris. Lin Han definitely didn't know that he was attracted by Harris, because after this game, the entire Lakers team was attracted by news.
The Spurs were away from Orlando on March 14. The team lost to the Magic 104-110 away. In this game, David Robinson still defeated O'Neal. David Robinson scored 34 points and 13 rebounds with a shooting percentage of 12 of 21 shots, and O'Neal still failed to get out of the haze that has been criticized by public opinion in recent times. The game continued to be sluggish and only made 10 of 24 shots and scored 28 points, but. Although O'Neal was a bit sluggish in this game, the game was
O'Neal did not act like he did with the Lakers, even if he felt bad. In this game, O'Neal was actually trying to attack Hardaway, mainly defending David Robinson, and the offense was only secondary. This also made Hardaway almost defeat the three Spurs' outside lines, Jaylen Ross and the young general Johnson in this game. The young general Johnson made 6 mistakes on the defensive end, and the offensive end made Cebaros a foul crisis. He only played for 25 minutes on the normal game.
This also directly made David Robinson lose the game because of his own external explosion when he defeated O'Neal. It has to be said that this is quite uncomfortable for the Spurs. It also made David Robinson know that O'Neal this season is no longer the O'Neal who will lose as long as he was exposed last season or last season. Although O'Neal will not grow so much in terms of strength, he has made great progress in controlling the game.
Of course, this game is not the focus of the Lakers. The Lakers are concerned about when O'Neal or David Robinson or even Hardaway. After this game, the record of the Lakers and the Spurs is exactly the same, and more importantly, the record of the two sides is 2-2, and even the records of other divisions are the same. In other words, the records of the Lakers and the Spurs are now exactly the same. The reason why the Spurs still occupy the second position is because this team's record is a little higher than that of the Lakers when playing against the playoff teams in this league. Simply put, the Lakers lose more than the strong team.
But no matter what, in the Lakers, who have won 13 consecutive victories, the Lakers, with a record of 48 wins and 14 losses, have tied the Clippers in the West in terms of record.
"Boss, as long as we can win two more games, your MVP will be stable!"
Of course, the Spurs' loss made Lin Han and Lakers fans very happy. And more importantly, the Lakers' record has reached 48 wins. For a single-nuclear cancer-type team, 50 wins is a threshold. As long as you pass fifty wins, Lin Han will be legally qualified to win MVP. Jordan used this record to win MVP back then. Although there was some controversy because the Bulls' record was not so good at that time, since Jordan won, Lin Han has a basis for it.
With the current record of the Lakers, this team cannot be worse than Jordan's Bulls in terms of record. The key is that after getting this record, it can help the Lakers players who have been a little nervous because of the winning streak to relieve their emotions a little.
When the Spurs lost, the players of the entire Lakers were thinking about continuing to work hard to win two games. On March 17, the Los Angeles Lakers returned to Los Angeles for three days to correct the game, and welcomed the former NBA giant team Boston Celtics, who is currently in the process of rebuilding.
If the confrontation between the Lakers and the Celtics was five years ago or six years ago, it would be the most noticeable game in the league. However, the confrontation between the two teams is now, the Lakers are still one of the best teams in the league because of Lin Han, but the Celtics, this team is in decline.
In terms of record, the Celtics, who are only 24 wins and 38 losses, are not opponents of the Lakers no matter how they look. If it weren't for the collective decline in the East this season, the Celtics would not have ranked eighth in the East.
Although the Celtics seem to be in the playoffs now, Lin Han knows that Celtic fans are not happy, but shame about the team coming to the eighth place in the East with this record. Damn, which one of the Celtics' record in the playoffs in history is so tragic?!
Especially after Celtic fans knew that their favorite Larry Bird once recommended Lin Han to the team, and was finally rejected by the team's bureaucrats from the Cardinals, these Celtic fans were quite dissatisfied with the team's management. As for how the Celtic fans knew that Larry Bird recommended Lin Han to the Cardinals? Of course, Lin Han said that when he was an All-Star, he smiled and said that he almost went to the Celtics, but eventually came to the Lakers because he did not meet the Celtics' team culture. At that time, Larry Bird strongly hoped that he would join the Celtics.
Of course, although the Celtics' current situation is not much better than that of the Jazz, this team is the greatest giant in NBA history after all, and this time the opponent is the Lakers. In this case, Lin Han is still very careful.
In fact, the Celtics played very well in this game. The entire team was almost full of names. If it weren't for the fact that this team had no superstar players, they were a little panicked by the Lakers' pressing defense at the critical moment in the fourth quarter and eventually lost the game. This team was ahead of the Lakers in the first three quarters, which could really be considered a destiny!
Similarly, although the Celtics lost to the Lakers 111-116 in this game, they were able to force the Lakers to finally rely on Lin Han's 56 points in the game and win with 24 points in a single quarter in the fourth quarter. The Celtics players are extremely rare.
After defeating the Celtics at home on March 17, the Lakers defeated the Kings 124-114 at home on March 19. After the Lakers won this game, the team also won 15 consecutive victories!
When the Los Angeles Lakers achieved fifteen consecutive victories and won the longest winning streak of the NBA this season, the media focus that had been shifted once again shifted to the Lakers!
With 50 wins and 14 losses, Lin Han won the critical point record of MVP!
At the same time, Lin Han is now only 0.3 points away from Jordan’s average score!
"Lin Hannian is coming!"
So, when the Lakers defeated the Kings at home and Lin Han scored 48 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists against Richmond's defense, the headlines of the sports page of the entire American media the next day were almost the same title!
