(Chapter 2)

Last season, due to the rise of the Jazz, the league's winning streak record changed dramatically. For example, the league's longest winning streak record changed from 33 consecutive wins to 37 consecutive wins, and the league's second-longest winning streak record also changed from 20 consecutive wins to 33 consecutive wins.

But there is no doubt that no matter at any time, as long as a team can complete twenty consecutive victories, this is a very amazing record. You should know that the teams that have completed twenty consecutive victories in the entire history are only a few teams such as the Jazz, Lakers, Bucks and the Rockets last season.

In other words, even if the team in the league can achieve more than 60 wins in every year, not every year can achieve twenty consecutive victories, not to mention that one team has led two different teams to do this for two consecutive years!

Therefore, when the Lakers defeated the Magic and achieved a nineteen-game winning streak, even in recent times, the entire American public opinion revolved around Lin Han's another 90-plus and was around Lin Han's Lakers defeating the Rockets. However, when such a winning streak appeared, it still once again became a huge focus of the media and public opinion.

After all, before the start of this season, let alone whether the Lakers can win 20 consecutive victories, even whether the Lakers can enter the playoffs is a huge question. This team is really considered by most media in the league to be the bottom team in the league. Now, this team not only does not rank at the bottom, but has also become the first in the league in one fell swoop, and it may become the only team in the league's history that has achieved a 20 consecutive victories in the season. If everyone tells everyone at the beginning of the season, it is the honor of the Lakers. I am afraid that those who believe it can only be fools, and even fools may not believe it.

Now, everything that seems extremely vain is becoming more and more real, because as long as the Lakers can defeat the next game, the Nuggets, which is the sixth in the West, this team can achieve a record of 20 wins. Although the Nuggets are quite strong, they are even called the nemesis of the Lakers at the beginning of this season. The Lakers' inside players can hardly gain any advantage in front of Mutombo, but the Lakers have defeated the Rockets, the West's inside team. Is it difficult to be a mere sixth in the West's inside team?

Of course, although such a can defeat b.b can defeat c, so a can defeat c is a less correct theory, but for most media and journalists in the league, when talking about the Lakers, they are willing to put such a theory on Lin Han and the Lakers.

According to these guys' theory, let alone the Nuggets, even any team in the league, the Lakers can defeat as long as they are covered with such a theory. Because the Rockets have really defeated all teams in the league this season, and the Lakers can defeat all teams in the league, naturally, they can defeat all teams in the league. In fact, after defeating the Rockets this season, the Lakers have indeed achieved a super record of winning against all teams in the league.

It's just obvious that no opponent in the NBA is so easy to deal with. If the Lakers and Rockets game ended up losing, then the Lakers may be much better against the Nuggets in this game. Because the Lakers lost in that game, the Rockets can basically be sure of their reality of being the first in the West. Now, the first in the West and first in the league are the Lakers, and the Rockets are the second. For the Nuggets, which are the sixth in the West, they will never be willing to accept the fate of losing to the seventh in the West. After all, after the eighth in the West was occupied by the Suns, the seventh in the West means playing against the second in the West. If the Rockets are still the first, it doesn't matter who is sixth and seventh in the Nuggets and Warriors, because facing the Lakers and the Spurs are similar, but now that is far from it.

So, don’t look at the last game when the Magic gave the Lakers a big gift or gave the Lakers a good gift, it seems that the Lakers have taken advantage of it. In fact, the Lakers will never play the Magic and the Bulls this season. In the remaining ten games of the season, the Lakers face the most opponents will be the Western Conference team. After the Lakers beat the Rockets and completely disrupted the situation, these teams were really unable to rest by the Lakers. Therefore, the Lakers actually dug a huge pit for themselves. To put it seriously, the Lakers defeated the Rockets in order to make the West "Western Traitors" in the West.

Therefore, most media and fans seem to be extremely relaxed opponents in this game. The Lakers are really nervous because there is no advantage in the inside, so the Lakers have the possibility of losing against any inside strong team. In addition, the Nuggets are in a desperate state at this time. Judging from the situation where this team played 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 as the beginning of the season. Therefore, the Lakers have done quite well in preparing for this game.

But even in this game, the Lakers almost made preparations extremely sufficient, and even let Lin Han simulate Mutombo's defense during training. Although Lin Han's height is really more than two points lower than Mutombo, the two are actually somewhat similar in defensive ability and defensive style. Therefore, during training, the Magic asked Lin Han to simulate the Nuggets' style of playing with a group of shooters such as Van Eksel and Ruffin. I hope the team can be a little familiar with the team's playing style so that they can take the lead after the game begins.

When the Lakers' pre-match arrangements have reached a level, and when the game started, although the Lakers did give the Nuggets a warning because of their more prepared pre-match arrangements, as the game progressed, such a pre-match advantage was slowly lost. After the Nuggets quickly gained a foothold, the Lakers and the Nuggets quickly became extremely tangled. Especially after Lin Han's character dropped to only 30 points left, Lin Han's best-selling three-point shooting rate dropped a bit when facing the inside strong team. The gap between the strength of the two sides is actually infinitely close.

So, after the start of this game, the Lakers were almost in the lead except for the previous few minutes. After the game, the score difference between the two sides was actually very close. If it weren't for the Lakers' preparations that were indeed sufficient than the Nuggets, if it weren't for the start of the Lakers, the leads that did have become the key points of this game, resulting in the Nuggets being able to bite the Lakers, but ultimately unable to completely flip the score back, then the Lakers could really lose the game in this game.

In the end, on March 29, 1995, the Los Angeles Lakers played against the Nuggets, the sixth-ranked West. With Lin Han's 14-of-31 shots and a man scored 38 points, the Lakers finally defeated the Nuggets 98-94 away. After defeating the Nuggets and winning the first consecutive away trip to the West, the Lakers also achieved the goal of 20 consecutive wins in the season.

When the Los Angeles Lakers achieved 20 consecutive victories, the team became the third team to win 20 consecutive victories after the Rockets and the Bucks, and tied with the Rockets and the Bucks to become the third-longest winning streak in the league.

Although this winning streak does not seem to have a special honorary significance for the Lakers. It does not have much value to Lin Han, and even the bronze-level winning streak reward has not been achieved. You should know that after Lin Han created a record of 37 consecutive victories in the Jazz last year, he wants to get a winning streak reward in the winning streak, he needs to reach 33 consecutive victories. Thirty-three consecutive victories are bronze-level rewards. More than 33 consecutive victories are silver, tying 37 consecutive victories is gold. Overcoming 37 consecutive victories is purple gold.

With the current situation of the Lakers, even if they win all this season, it is impossible to achieve 33 consecutive victories, so it is impossible for Lin Han to get any reward in winning streaks.

But even so, the Lakers are still quite hungry for this honor. You should know that in the entire league, only Lakers fans have held celebrations for their team's longest winning streak, and for more than 20 years. In the city of Los Angeles, Lakers fans actually attach great importance to the winning streak of these teams. Last year, Lin Han led the Jazz to replace the Lakers' longest winning streak, the legendary veterans of the Lakers actually didn't think it was very good. In addition to Pat Riley being a little unhappy with Lin Han, Jerry West Chamberlain and others were actually quite generous to Lin Han, but Lakers fans were not that generous at that time. Although they were so stingy that they accused the Jazz and Lin Han, they absolutely did not say anything blessings.

"Lin, you and the Lakers are really unstoppable now. I found that we don't want to meet the Lakers except the Rockets. However, after losing this game, we became the seventh in the West. Whether you or the Rockets, we may encounter one."

Of course, after winning 20 consecutive victories, Lin Han and the Lakers were also very happy, but it was obvious that as the losing side, Lin Han’s good friend Mutombo couldn’t be happy at this time.

"Dickenbe, recently some media said that you have some conflicts with your team's head coach. Is it true?"

Seeing that his friend who was obviously not just unhappy because of losing, Lin Han also asked for a while, but soon Mutombo smiled bitterly and shook his head slightly.

"I have no problems with the team coach, mainly because I have some problems with the team. There are some problems with the Nuggets and I have some problems with the team building."

After Mutombo finished speaking, Lin Han sighed helplessly. In NBA, it is very common for a team boss and the team to have problems in the team building. Even Jordan and the Bulls have had such problems, and they have even been played with by the Bulls general manager. Needless to mention Mutombo, when there is a conflict between the team and the players in the team building, players generally cannot beat the team, even Jordan has never beat the Bulls general manager back then.

"Maybe that boy Kobe said it well. Anyway, my contract has only been one year. At worst, I can leave the team freely in 1996 and go to a new team with Lat."

Perhaps because of Lin Han, Mutombo, who has been a little depressed recently, also said with some complaints, and after Mutombo finished speaking, Lin Han was speechless.

Mutombo and Spreville ran to the same team to form a new team, which is of course quite good. But the key is that Lin Han has always had very big ideas about Mutombo. Now Lin Han has not asked his friend if he is willing to attack him. He did not expect that this guy was tempted by the saying of Kobe, that bastard. This is not possible!

"Dickenbe, you must not talk about such things with Lat now, and you must not show your intention to leave the team, otherwise the Nuggets will definitely trade you before your contract expires. Although your contract is only one year left, if you spend the last year in a bottom team, your basketball style is not a data-based model. By then, the data does not increase and the results will drop again, and your value will be greatly reduced."

"Well, I understand. If you hadn't reminded me, I would have been ready to contact Lat."

Looking at Lin Han's care-looking look, Mutombo also said with emotion. He seemed to have never thought about the possibility that he might be traded to the bottom team by the Nuggets in retaliation. After all, he is not a superstar like Lin Han. He is just an ordinary All-Star player. If the Nuggets really don't care about mercy, they will really be able to do such a thing.

Although it was a good thing to defeat the Nuggets in this game and won the 20-game winning streak of the season, Lin Han was not so happy at this time. If Mutombo really succeeded in connecting with Spreville, it would be bad. Now, when Mutombo did not show his ambitions, Lin Han could not rashly invite Mutombo to the Lakers, after all, if Mutombo was unwilling to be Lin

Han's assistant, Lin Han made such an invitation, which would make Mutombo reject Lin Han. After all, this kind of thing is like a person telling his friend, "Brother, how about being my younger brother? Although I am also a friend and look even closer, some people, they are friends with you because you can date him equally. Their status is the same and there are no other factors. If this equality 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 Eksel, and has a very strong relationship with Lin Han, Lin Han can just say it casually, but Mutombo is obviously not such a player, and judging from the conflicts between him and the Nuggets about the future, he is definitely not without ambition.

After all, although this guy is just an ordinary All-Star, he is also the most popular center besides the four centers and Mooning. According to the outside world, after the three centers grow old, O'Neal, Mooning and Mutombo will take over. Although he is an ordinary All-Star like Mooning, the whole United States is able to rise to the top as quickly as O'Neal!

Headache. When Lin Han thought of Mutombo, he had a headache.

Fortunately, Lin Han is not a very tangled person. Although Mutombo's development trend does not seem to follow Lin Han's idea, it is not possible to resolve this matter in a short time. Mutombo's contract will take some time to expire, so Lin Han didn't think so much after a headache for a while.

Now, the most important thing waiting for Lin Han is probably to challenge the Jazz away. When Lin Han followed the Lakers back to Salt Lake City again, when Lin Han and the Lakers' plane stopped in a few games, when Lin Han and the Lakers players came out of several games, when Lin Han saw the Jazz fans outside the game, and these Jazz fans were still holding his poster and shouting his name, Lin Han was very moved.

Even after boarding the bus with the team, these Jazz fans followed the Lakers bus for a while, and seeing these Jazz fans Lin Han was really touched.

Because Lin Han and the Lakers have been unstoppable in recent times, and the Jazz are in a crazy battle with the Supersonics West, the gap between the two sides has almost made Jazz fans crazy. Even the team's general manager Scott Rayden, who has huge connections in the Jazz, is forced to resign. Because he does not resign, his good friend Jerry Sloan will become a scapegoat and resign. In the end, for the stability of the team, Rayden chose to sacrifice himself to resign.

Even if Rayden resigned, the anger of Jazz fans was temporarily calmed down, but it was impossible to make these fans forget the former player who had already reached the No. 1 in the West. Under such circumstances, the entire Salt Lake City is almost trapped in a huge vortex!

Fans were dissatisfied with the team and the players, and the players were dissatisfied with the fans driving away the team's meritorious general manager. Even the team's boss, Miller, was involved. At this moment when it was almost about to explode, Lin Han, the biggest explosion point, got into this vortex again. It is probably difficult to say what Salt Lake City and the Jazz will become.

Obviously, the explosion of this huge vortex is only one fuse, and it is really hard to say who brought this fuse. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
