Almighty legend life

Chapter 158 Goal: Surpassing the Legendary Seniors

The Lakers also ushered in their own 29-game winning streak while winning the soaring point battle with the Nuggets. Unknowingly, they have approached their predecessors' record.

The 1971-1972 season, "The Big Dipper" (Big Dipper) Wilt Chamberlain's second-to-last season before retiring, during the previous ten seasons from 1959 to 1970, Chamberlain and the Boston Celtics headed by Bill Russell The Walters competed with each other for ten years. Sadly, Chamberlain, who once scored a miracle of 100 points, won only one championship. In the 70-71 season, Chamberlain transferred to the Los Angeles Lakers. With team basketball as the core, he placed himself in the same position as Jerry West and others. As a result, the Lakers won an astonishing 71 consecutive victories in the 72-33 season. Although Chamberlain averaged 19.6 points per game this season, but Let him get the second championship ring.

Jerry West, the current general manager of the Los Angeles Lakers, the character prototype of the NBA LOGO logo, was selected by the Los Angeles Lakers with the second pick in the first round in 1960. Since then, he has dedicated his entire career to lakers. In 1969, he won the Finals MVP, but he did not win the championship. He also became the first player in history to win the Finals MVP honor as a loser. In the 1971-1972 season, Jerry West and Wilt Chamberlain led the Lakers to a 33-game winning streak, which no one has ever broken.

Now, the Lakers with Liu Han and O'Neal as the core finally stand in front of the records of their predecessors. Whether to surpass history and become a new legend, or become a loser who witnessed the historical records of their predecessors, everything is in the hands of the Lakers themselves.

On January 1, the Lakers faced the challenge of the Miami Heat at home. Alonzo Mourning returned from injury. The Heat had a neat lineup and hoped to stop the Lakers' 17-game winning streak.

During the game, the Heat did a good job of defending, but the Lakers had no choice but to fully integrate into a whole at this time. Their cooperation was incomparable, and they always controlled the rhythm of the game in their own hands.

Liu Han and O'Neal turned the Heat upside down one inside and one outside, and other role players also played well. In the end, the Lakers defeated the Heat 109-91 and completed their No. 30 consecutive victories.

比赛中湖人队四人得分上双，但是这四个人的得分都上了20分，刘汉28分、奥尼尔22分、迈克尔芬利21分、雷阿伦20分。

After a day off, the Lakers continued to host the Orlando Magic at home. The Orlando Magic, without Anfernee Hardaway, was clearly no match for the Lakers. Liu Han again scored 48 points in three quarters and turned the fourth quarter into garbage time. The Lakers also beat the Magic 107-82 by 25 points.The Lakers completed their 31st straight game.

On January 1, the Lakers visited Phoenix to challenge the Phoenix Suns.

Before the start of this season, the Suns traded Steve Nash, who did not perform well last season, to the Lakers, and they traded the Mavericks for Jason Kidd, the second pick in 1994.

What the Suns didn't expect was that Steve Nash showed an amazing passing talent as soon as he arrived at the Lakers. The offense is well organized.But what makes the Suns a little relieved is that Jason Kidd also performed very well in the Suns and has become an indispensable member of the team.

Before this game, Nash returned from injury. He has been looking forward to this game for a long time. He hopes to prove how poor the Suns' vision is in this game.

But after the game started, Nash encountered a lot of trouble. Jason Kidd was better than Nash in terms of weight and height. Except for his poor shooting ability, it was difficult for Nash to guard Kidd.

In the Suns team this year, Antonio McDyess, who was traded at No. 95 in [-], and Jason Kidd, one inside and one outside, formed the offensive and defensive core of the Suns.

Nash was in trouble, but Liu Han played very easily. He could see that Nash was not in the right state today, and he was always full of strong desire to attack, so Liu Han found Nash and told him that he would control the ball and let Nash Go run.

After possession of the ball, Liu Han began to send out assists frequently. Originally, Kidd was ready to let Liu Han see his defense, but after Liu Han hit two consecutive three-pointers above his head, Kidd immediately went to Nash and asked his teammates Rex Chapman defends Liu Han.

Nash led Kidd to start a long run. After Liu Han's training camp and George Krent's training, Nash's already excellent physical strength has made great progress. Very uncomfortable.

In the first half, the two teams tied at 55. The Lakers were in a mediocre state today, while Liu Han focused on passing the ball to his teammates.

At the beginning of the second half, Nash finally began to show his three-point ability that he had practiced in Liu Han's training camp. His long running made Jason Kidd, who was defending him, finally unable to keep up. The score opened.

最终，凭借刘汉的20分19助攻、纳什的24分5助攻，奥尼尔的24分14篮板，湖人队以119比103战胜太阳队，收获了自己的No.30二场连胜。

When the Lakers won 32 consecutive victories, the eyes of the media and fans were all focused on the next game the Lakers were about to start. On January 1998, 1, the Lakers would challenge the Sonics in Seattle. A game in which the Lakers catch up with the historical records of their predecessors will also be a game that will be watched by the whole United States.

Before this game, the predecessors of the Lakers were interviewed by reporters. The 60-year-old Wilt Chamberlain is now suffering from illness. In his early years, he ignored all kinds of indiscriminate consumption of his body and made his body like an ancient behemoth. Chamberlain can only endure the pain now, but he still accepted interviews from the media.

In the interview, Chamberlain expressed that he was happy to see the younger generation surpass, and hoped that the Lakers with Liu Han and O'Neal as the core could win this year's championship.

As the current general manager of the Lakers, Jerry West certainly hopes that the team he manages can surpass his previous record. Although the current basketball confrontation is more intense than before, the current rules are also stricter. The NBA is full of all kinds of hurtful moves, and few players can play for [-] seasons.

The media also interviewed the Seattle Supersonics. Captain Gary Payton dismissed the record of the Lakers. He said that he would let Liu Han see how good he is. Liu Han's outstanding performance allowed the Lakers to sweep the Seattle SuperSonics.

However, relative to Gary Payton's full confidence, experts and commentators are optimistic that the Lakers will tie the historical record, because the Supersonics still had Sean Kemp last season, but the departure of Sean Kemp this season made the Supersonics The inside line is weaker than the Lakers, and the existence of Liu Han also makes the Lakers' outside line more powerful.

After the hype of the media and the promotion of the league, this ordinary regular season has become no longer ordinary. Whether the Sonics will end the Lakers' winning streak, or the Lakers will tie the historical record of their predecessors, everyone is waiting to see.

　I couldn't go to the backstage just now, I was almost delayed, and it will be delivered at five o'clock
