Chapter 314 Breaking historical records, the best era in the NBA!
The latest from Chicago came the morning the Cavaliers arrived in Oklahoma:
The Bulls lost to the New Orleans Hornets on their home court.
After this defeat, the Cavaliers officially overtook the rankings and became the new No. [-] in the Eastern Conference.
Of course, at this time, for this team, the media and fans of the entire league, whether it is the number one in the East or the number one in the league is no longer important.
The most important thing now is...
Can they break the longest 33-game winning streak in NBA history!
The Cavaliers, who arrived in Oklahoma, are currently on a 30-game winning streak.
There are still 3 games away from tying the historical record, and 4 games away from breaking the historical record.
Seeing that the record is getting closer and closer, the number of reports about the Cavaliers is completely dominated by one.
Even the fact that Kevin Durant met Li Wan again has not been mentioned by the media for the time being.
You know, this is the first time the two have met on the court since Kevin Durant was injured last year.
It has been almost two years since the last time they faced each other on the court.
Kevin Durant, who was originally due to the league's reduced attention to him, saw the game before, and the discussion was still "Can the Cavaliers continue to win", and he was full of anger at that time.
Before entering the arena, he shouted "pull the flag" in the locker room: "Guys, let's end this topic! It's time to end!"
As soon as he yelled, everyone followed suit.
It's not that Kevin Durant's voice called out their fighting spirit, but that they originally wanted to be "the group who sniped the Cavaliers."
These words of Kevin Durant belonged to their hearts.
Of course, their echoes fell in Kevin Durant's ears, and it was another taste:
We are too prestige!
Seeing the posture of his brothers "working hard together" with him, Kevin Durant immediately became more confident.
With such a group of brothers here, I will definitely win this game tonight!
"Let's make the headlines in tomorrow's newspaper, this is a big deal, guys!" Donovan, who just took office this summer, also deliberately poured a bowl at the starters of the Thunder before the start of tonight's game" chicken soup".
Now, the guys from the Thunder team are more powerful.
At this time, the live big screen gave the starting list of both sides:
"Thunder: Westbrook at No. [-], Dion Waiters at No. [-], Kevin Durant at No. [-], Ibaka at No. [-], Enes Kanter at No. [-];
Cavaliers: Li Wan at No. [-], Joe Johnson at No. [-], Wiggins at No. [-], Chris Bosh at No. [-], Adams at No. [-];”
Compared with the enthusiastic Thunder team, the Cavaliers are no different from usual.However, the light in each of these eyes seems to be even better than that of the Thunder.
No wonder...
The guys in the Cavaliers know exactly what kind of thing they are going through, and if it is done, what kind of sensation it will cause.
Therefore, even if Tyronn Lue doesn't say anything deliberately, the Cavaliers will only get stronger and stronger!
because……
This is the best time to leave a strong mark in NBA history!
Even, in a sense, something more glorious than winning the championship...
After all, if you tell me who the 1974 championship is now, you may have to check the records, but if you tell me now, which team has the longest winning streak in this league now .
As long as you are a fan who knows a little bit about the NBA, you will immediately say that it was the Lakers' 33 consecutive victories that year!
And now, they are very likely to break this record and become the next "NBA's longest winning streak" that fans will immediately say.
The idea of winning on both sides is extremely strong, and this game has been extremely fierce from the beginning.
At 1 minute and 34 seconds of the first quarter, Chris Bosh and Ibaka directly came to a "rolling all over the floor" in order to compete for rebounds.
The intensity of the fighting is evident.
Probably because the confrontation was too fierce. At the beginning of the game, the shooting percentages of both sides were very low. The first quarter was almost over, and the two sides had just fought 20-20.
If you didn't know this, you would think you went back to 10 years ago overnight!
Li Wan stepped forward first, used a pick-and-roll top shot for a three-pointer, and then made a "European step" layup, scoring 5 points in a row, helping the team to open up a 6-point gap.
Kevin Durant saw that Li Wan started to exert his strength, and he immediately opened fire. Facing Wiggins, he directly made a top three-pointer, and then scored with a graceful fadeaway jumper.
The difficulty is increasing one by one, but it is really exciting to watch.
The atmosphere at the scene was obviously different.
"It's soaring! This game looks good~"
Director Zhang was so excited that he "rubbed his hands with flies".
As a person, what he likes to watch the most is this kind of confrontation between stars showing their personal abilities.
Although he often talks about tactics...
Well, it makes sense~
But even Director Zhang didn't expect that the firepower of Li Wan and Kevin Durant would never decrease, but would become more and more fierce.
In the second quarter, Kevin Durant scored 17 points alone, and Li Wan was slightly better, scoring 23 points in a single quarter. Kevin Durant had a good touch, and Li Wan had a "nervous knife" attack;
At the end of the half, Kevin Durant's personal score came to 25 points, and Li Wan came to 30 points.
"These should be the two guys with the strongest scoring ability in the entire league, right?"
Drexler watched the two of them soaring points, and his eyes were full of shadows when he and Michael Jordan played against each other.
buckley...
I thought so too!
Watching Kevin Durant confront Li Wan, his mind is full of his confrontation with Michael Jordan.
Kenny Smith said: "Stephen Curry's offensive firepower this season can actually be compared with them..."
It's just that the way is a bit wrong. Kevin Durant and Li Wan are proficient in everything, which belongs to the "18 weapons".
Stephen Curry's singles ability is there, but it is an indisputable fact that he has a higher scoring efficiency in the system. The reason is very simple. The physical fitness is indeed a little worse.
However, this makes his three-pointers even more awesome...
The confrontation between these two people made a group of old commentators stupid, but when Kevin Durant saw this data, he was not very happy, because...
His half-time score is actually less than Li Wan?
This!
How is this possible?
His scoring has always been lower than that of Li Wanyi.
Kevin Durant immediately got more into the game in the third quarter.
The effect was also outstanding. In the third quarter, he scored 18 points in a single quarter. This time, as he wished, his single-quarter firepower surpassed Li Wan.Li Wan scored "only" 14 points in the third quarter, 4 points less than him.
only……
Although Li Wan's scoring firepower in the third quarter was not as good as him, in the fourth quarter, Li Wan still contributed 14 points in a single quarter.
Compared to him, Kevin Durant is far behind. He only scored 7 points in the entire fourth quarter...
Only half of what Li Wan scored in a single quarter in the fourth quarter.
It was also because he failed to keep up with Li Wan's scoring speed in the fourth quarter, and the Cavaliers opened up the point gap with the Thunder during this period.
In the end, the Cavaliers defeated the Thunder by 116 to 103 and 13 points.
Got their 31st game winning streak.
The data of Li Wan and Kevin Durant are frozen.
打满4节，李万总共砍下了58分，另外还有12个篮板跟8个助攻以及3次抢断1个盖帽；
Kevin Durant had exactly 50 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists;
The data of the whole game, the gap between the two people is not very big...
The commentators who commented on the game after the game also gave full affirmation to the "07 duo".
Kenny Smith clapped his hands unconsciously and shook his head, with a bit of aftertaste on his face, he spit out a word: "Absolutely!"
Drexler also took a deep breath. He had to admit that his confrontation with Michael Jordan was not as good as compared to Li Wan and Kevin Durant's "King Sees King" tonight.
As for the difference...
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
"Wonderful, wonderful, fun and fun!" Chris Webber was also clapping his hands. He hadn't seen such a "star confrontation" for a long time.
In this era that pays more and more attention to teamwork, the confrontation between Li Wan and Kevin Durant made him feel like he was drinking ice cream during the dog days.
He has to watch this game as a member!
Kevin Durant looked at this data with a look of unwillingness.
He knew very well that the reason why this game was lost was in the fourth quarter, and in the fourth quarter...
His stamina is not enough!
Since he was reimbursed for the season last season, he feels that his exertion consumes more energy than usual, especially when he is attacking continuously with the ball, he feels that his physical energy consumption is much greater than in the past.
Just like tonight, the continuous shooting in the first three quarters exhausted his entire physical energy very quickly.
In the fourth quarter, it was even more gasping for breath. Although there were also factors of Li Wan and Wiggins' double-teaming, Kevin Durant felt that more of the reasons were on himself.
If this physical problem persists like this...
Kevin Durant subconsciously glanced at the rest of the Thunder's stats:
威斯布鲁克25分6篮板7助攻，投篮命中率41%，堪堪40%出头，却有5次失误。
The narrowing of the "three-second zone" has also had a great impact on him. The most obvious impact is that the number of times he was double-teamed and made mistakes in the middle distance has increased significantly... "Turtle" has been weakened to a certain extent.
And now James Harden is gone...
Kevin Durant's face became more serious as he pondered.
because he found out...
My dream of defeating Li Wan is becoming more and more distant!
However, the more irritating point is that he feels that he has already been promoted to the extreme, and he really has no way to improve...
Looking at Li Wan who was high-fiving his teammates, he walked into the player tunnel of the visiting team with great splendor.
For a while, Kevin Durant didn't know how to go next...
Before this game, he always believed that the media no longer praised them because of his injury for a season, which made them forget their dominance on this stage.
But now it seems...
It seems that he has really fallen behind from the top ranks of this alliance!
Yes……
?
Kevin Durant turned into a "thinker", and Li Wan was surrounded by reporters in the player tunnel.
This is a wonderful game, and the confrontation between him and Kevin Durant is enough to cut out a set of "top ten balls".After winning the Thunder, the Cavaliers' winning streak has also reached 31 consecutive victories!
"Two games left, two games left, guys, think about how we got to this point, persisted for such a long time, then hold on to the last two games, no, three games, we will It's done!"
On the plane back to Cleveland, Tyronn Lue made a special speech.
He analyzed the pros and cons of the moment...
The biggest piece of good news is that the opponents in the next two games are all opponents they have easily defeated before, including the Bulls. Without Chris Bosh, they won by 17 points!
"This time, try to hit them with 20 points, no, 30 points!"
Under the light of the cabin, Tyronn Lu's face was flushed red, as if he had just drunk wine.There was still a beautiful smile on his face, that smile was so beautiful that his nose was about to burst into bubbles.
Following his shouting, the atmosphere at the scene was also very enthusiastic.
This is the current Cavaliers, all of them dare to think and do, and they are indeed capable.Gradually, he has gained a bit of vigor that he never had before.To put it bluntly:
This is the best time for a team to succeed!
This is the reason why Li Wan did not give up his pursuit of 33 consecutive victories.
The 33-game winning streak is a training for this team.
In this training, as long as the Cavaliers pass the level, they can complete the transformation, from a championship-level team to a championship-level team!
To be honest, this team has no shortage of "championship blood", especially after Chris Bosh came back, plus Li Wan, Kwame Brown and Wade...the four of them all know what it's like to be a championship people!
What they lack is to experience some big scenes together.
Last year's "Eastern Finals" was considered a big scene, and now chasing 33 consecutive victories is also a big scene.
Only when the "championship bloodline" and the big scene are complete, can this Cavaliers team be truly developed!
Only 3 games left...
Thinking of this, even Li Wan's eyes moved a little more.
For the Cavaliers, there is another piece of good news. Their next two games will be at home, and the two most difficult opponents to play are also these two games.
The Clippers and the Bulls are the top four teams in the East and West.
However, judging from the results, the Clippers are easier to deal with than imagined.
It may also be because of the style of restraint. As long as the Cavaliers can lock Dragic and make their perimeter without a qualified organizer, it will be enough to slow down the team's rhythm and even become chaotic.
And one more thing...
Two points cannot be achieved by three points.
Although three points are more difficult than two points.But the problem is that the Clippers' Dragic and jj-Redick's backcourt, it didn't defend either!
The Cavaliers had a rain of threes in this game.
From Li Wan to Chris Bosh hit at least 2 three-pointers...
This is also the biggest improvement for this team after Chris Bosh's return.
When four players who can hold the ball and shoot three-pointers stand on the court, the offensive space is not to mention how comfortable it is.
Just talk about Adams, he receives the ball in the "three seconds zone", has at least two or three offensive lines, and all of them have enough offensive space.Because often when he gets the ball, there is only one defender left to face. His advantages in height, wingspan and tonnage are obvious...
It's a pity that he just doesn't know how to play back, otherwise, Li Wan and Lewis's "position [-] and [-]" pick-and-roll cooperation back then could come back out of the arena again!
115 to 103, the Cavaliers didn't win much, and only won by 12 points in the end.
But from 6 minutes into the first quarter of this game, after the Cavaliers opened the point difference to double digits for the first time, the point difference never narrowed to single digits again.It can be seen how easy it is for the Cavaliers to suppress the Clippers in this game.
"With 32 consecutive victories, the Cavaliers are one step closer to the record!"
"There are still two games left, and the historic moment is just around the corner!"
"32 consecutive victories, the Cavaliers haven't lost a game since January 1th!"
……
The place is even more dry!
Especially the fans in the city of Cleveland are even more excited.
They thought that this season, when they were most excited, they would finally win the O'Brien Cup.Unexpectedly, the guys from the Cavaliers gave them such a big job after entering the New Year!
Before the game between the Bulls and the Cavaliers, Yang Yi and Wang Meng led the team to Cleveland. Standing outside the Quicken Loans Arena, looking at the delighted Cavaliers fans, Yang Yi expressed his feelings: "I don't know when Cleveland won the championship, What will it be like, because none of this has happened yet, but right now, I have to say, this is the best era for the Cavaliers, at least in my opinion, it has surpassed the past when the Cavaliers made it to the finals , including the one that entered the finals in 07..."
It was so lively!
Wang Meng later recalled what he saw that day: "It's like Chinese New Year!"
No wonder they were so excited.
In this game against the Bulls, if the Cavaliers win, they will tie the Lakers' longest winning streak.
The next game against the Kings will be at Sacramento's home court. Cavaliers fans are destined not to see the Cavaliers break the longest winning streak in history.
Since I can't witness it with my own eyes at that time, it is natural to have a good vent tonight.
However, from the momentum of the Bulls warming up before the game, it can be seen that they obviously did not intend to let the Cavaliers tie the historical record so smoothly.
them……
He came here to smash things up!
"I believe that we have such strength to do such a thing!"
Although the Bulls' No. 1 in the Eastern Conference was overtaken by the Cavaliers, they are not many games behind, only [-] game behind.
Is such a gap called a gap?
This is called...neglect!
Since everyone's record is similar, then the level should be similar; since the level is similar, it means that some people will play tonight!
Some fight, so how can it be possible for you to easily get what you want?
Can……
They underestimated the momentum of the current Cavaliers!
To tie the "best record in history" is just tonight. The Cavaliers are more like bulls, and they are still in heat.
As for the Bulls, they looked like they were holding a piece of red cloth in their hands... The Cavaliers only wanted to do one thing now, and that was to bump into him, hit him and turn him on his back!
Break out a historical record that belongs to the Cavaliers!
So...
At the beginning of the game, Li Wan stretched his bow and arrow on the outside, and used a three-pointer to start the first shot of "kicking the Bulls" tonight.Then the Cavaliers used team defense, causing the Bulls to make mistakes.Holding the ball, Li Wan counterattacked and scored another 2 points. The point difference came to 5-0 in an instant. Thibodeau was hesitant to call a timeout, and the Cavaliers, who were successfully defending here, cooperated from the outside and Joe Johnson hit a three-pointer , and even caused a foul by Jimmy Butler...
3 plus 1!
The scene exploded directly!
When Thibodeau reacted and was about to call a timeout, the time was already 5 minutes and 13 seconds into the first quarter, and the Cavaliers scored a wave of 17 to 5. The game just started and ended.
At the end of the game, the Cavaliers scored a hearty victory with sparks and lightning all the way.
122 is better than 102!
The Cavaliers won by 20 points at their home court!
"Historic moment, let us congratulate the Cavaliers for tying the longest winning streak in NBA history, 33 consecutive victories, they did it!" Bill Walton was very excited and emotional.
At the beginning, he chose to "believe", but he was not so sure in his heart.
At this moment, seeing the Cavaliers really hit 33 consecutive victories, the longest winning streak in NBA history, still feels unbelievable.
"These guys have done an amazing thing!"
Of course, there is one more amazing thing that is waiting for the guys from the Cavaliers to complete.
That is……
Break the record of 33 consecutive victories!
Create a new legend!
The league has long changed the game between the Cavaliers and the Kings to "live across the United States".At the same time, publicity efforts have been stepped up.And arranged a special interview.
The main members of that Lakers team were: Jerry West, Wilt Chamberlain, Gail Goodrich...
They are all "old antique" celebrities, and Chamberlain died as early as the end of the 90s...
The league asked these people to record a video congratulating the Cavaliers, and also arranged for them tickets for the on-site auditorium.
In terms of "inheritance", NBA officials have always done a better job.
It is also because of the foundation that there is now an increasingly brilliant NBA era.
It is worth mentioning that "Lord Baylor" is also one of the members of this 33-game winning streak Lakers.
However, he only played 9 games before choosing to retire.
Because he really can't stand the marginalization of his team, and doesn't want to "hold his thigh" to win a championship...
He would rather regret it than settle down.
This is the character of that generation of basketball players.
It’s not like the NBA 10 years later, the ball hasn’t been played for a few years, and they hugged each other first, and some people even hugged one after another. After hugging, they probably lost a lot in the finals, and they said that they were not in the Super League. The team stayed...
I don't know who brought it up first!
The players of the Kings were obviously a little nervous looking at the scene that was different from the past. This can be seen from their warm-up before the game.
Compared with the opposite Cavaliers, it can be said that the youthfulness is undoubtedly evident.
It is also a comparison between the two sides, which is enough to see the progress of the Cavaliers in the past two years.
Such a team naturally has no way to stop the Cavaliers from making history.
Although the start of the Cavaliers tonight was not very smooth, but in the same way, the Kings also failed to find the basket in the opening few shots.Even after the Cavaliers gradually adjusted, the Kings hadn't found the bull's-eye yet.
At the end of the first quarter, the Cavaliers successfully opened up a 10-point lead.
When the score reached double digits, Barkley, Kenny Smith and O'Neal glanced at each other, and they knew it was done!
Li Wan...
And led the team to create a new "legendary story"!
This will undoubtedly make his career even more legendary.
By the time the game reached the third quarter, the point difference had reached more than 18 points, and the game actually came to "garbage time".
If it was the past, at a time like this, it would have been necessary to leave a few Kings home fans.But tonight, the overcrowded auditorium continued until the end of the fourth quarter, and there was no departure.
Not only did they not leave the table, but the atmosphere was also very good.
Many fans brought cameras tonight and recorded this historic moment with great interest.
109 to 91, this is the final score of the game.
In the last 5 minutes, the two sides actually stopped fighting. They were all on the field, you attacking each other, fighting randomly, killing time.As the final whistle sounded, Wiggins holding the ball cheerfully held the game ball in his hands, walked towards Li Wan, and handed it to him, with a smirk, as if to say: " Brother, here you are!"
The group of legends present tonight also walked straight towards Li Wan, and congratulated Li Wan one by one, breaking the record set by them back then.
Back then, when they did this, they thought that no other team would be able to accomplish such a thing...
As a result, it was indeed the case, from 72 to the next 40 years... the league's longest winning streak, let alone 30 games, did not even reach 25 games.
Such a long span actually shows how difficult it is to break this record.
So now, 44 years later, looking at Li Wan and the Cavaliers who broke the record, they gave a high degree of recognition.
"This season, you are bound to succeed!"
"No one can stop a 34-game winning streak team, I firmly believe that!"
"Well done, man, you've outdone us!"
……
In the TNT studio, looking at this group of more senior celebrities, Barkley turned his head, glanced at O'Neal and then at Kenny Smith, and said: "I remember that after the Lakers won 33 consecutive victories, they won the final championship. Champion?"
Kenny Smith nodded, and O'Neal nodded too.
Barkley was right. In the 71-72 season, the Lakers won 33 consecutive victories and won the final championship.
Otherwise, why do you say that "Bailey" is unlucky? He finally chose to come back, and the Lakers did have the ability to win the championship that season, but he made a comeback for 9 games and chose to retire...
"Lord Baylor" himself said that winning such a championship is meaningless.
But there is also that metaphysics that if Elgin Baylor does not retire, the Lakers might not be able to win the championship...
This is so true, how annoying!
However, judging from Baylor's later general manager career, this metaphysics may be true, because Baylor's main focus is only two words:
point back!
Barkley's words continued: "Since the 33-game winning streak of the Lakers won the championship, does the 34-game winning streak of the Cavaliers also book the championship?"
I heard that when Barkley said this, the Cleveland people who were still cheering wanted to rush to TNT's studio building, tie him up, and then stuffed his stinky mouth with his own stinky socks inside.
Let you talk nonsense!
Is this something you, a "master of poisonous milk", can say! ?
Ok……
Yes!
Speaking out, I'm afraid New York fans will hate iron for steel again.
Even the Cavaliers, who have won 34 consecutive victories at this moment, the people of Cleveland still dare not shout the slogan "Cavs championship" in advance.
……
Early the next morning, the news that the Cavaliers defeated the Kings and won their 34th game winning streak swept the world like snowflakes.
All the fans who knew the news were stunned.
Li Wan and the Cavaliers once again became the focus of global fans.
After all, it was 33 years ago that the Lakers won 44 consecutive victories... and now NBA fans have been updated for several batches. They have only heard about the Lakers' 33 consecutive victories, and they have not actually seen it. However, coupled with the fact that there are more and more voices questioning the level of basketball at that time, the gold content of this record is greatly reduced!
But now...
What I had only heard about before, happened before my eyes, and it was a further 34 consecutive victories, let alone how excited these fans are...
Of course, the reason for their excitement is not just because the Cavaliers have won 34 consecutive victories, but also because...
As of the end of the game between the Cavaliers and the Kings, there is almost a month left in the season, and each team's schedule only has the last 15 games left.
In the 67 regular season games that have been played, the Warriors, currently ranked first in the All-Stars, have only lost 6 games so far.
It's like saying...
This year they can not only witness the Cavaliers breaking the longest winning streak in NBA history, they are also very likely to witness the Warriors breaking the best record in NBA regular season history!
This is a rare occasion in decades.
But it's all in time for the 15~16 season...
"This will definitely be a season in NBA history!"
"It's really amazing. How can there be such expectations at the end of previous seasons!"
"This is definitely the best era in the NBA, let's argue!"
What Michael Jordan, what "show time"!
At this moment, in the hearts of these fans, none of them can keep up with the dominance shown by the Cavaliers and Warriors this season...
This is not only what these fans think now, but also some older fans think so.
You know, in addition to the Warriors and Cavaliers, the second-tier Hornets and Bulls this season, even the Nets... are full of topics.
Plus Kobe will retire this year...
To be honest, if these factors are mixed together, it will be difficult if this season is not exciting!
骑士队的连胜并没有停止在34连胜，接下来他们还拿到了35连胜36连胜，一直到3月21日，他们才终于输掉了近3个月来的第一场比赛。
At this time, their winning streak has reached 37 games!
The new record for the longest winning streak in NBA history is fixed at 37 games...
Something was delayed today.
