Chapter 525 The Winning Streak Has Been Ended
And in this fight, the Trail Blazers can be regarded as starting their own performance. In this game, they not only played very well with the double guns in the backcourt, but also did a very good job of defending the inside line. While having a great advantage, they can even be distracted to play a dozen inside offenses.But after all, the paper strength of the Trail Blazers is still slightly inferior. When the two teams began to replace the substitutes, the self-confidence of the substitutes trained by the Lakers during this period was reflected. Nick Young Needless to say, I was originally a master who dared to force and throw, and Felton and Speights have also regained their state. Speights' three-point shooting percentage in these games has returned to At the height of the Warriors' high-profile performance at the time, the 37% three-point shooting rate was almost comparable to that of Solomon Hill and others.

And Felton also found some of the feelings he had in New York back then. Once the small tank started, it couldn't be stopped by the opponent, and the most important thing was that although the Lakers' excellent record this season made those who were in the past most of the time The players of the big team felt a lot of pressure, but at the same time they also cultivated their competitive spirit and self-confidence. Therefore, when the substitutes played against each other, the Lakers' substitutes would crush the Trail Blazers at the first place. All the advantages established with great difficulty in the first quarter were wiped out.

The subsequent games also entered the rhythm of the Lakers. The Blazers' touch cannot always be as good as in the first quarter, and their defense cannot always be as tight as in the first quarter. So the Lakers gradually occupied the upper peak of the game. Finally, with 3 minutes left in the fourth quarter, Ye Xuan hit a three-pointer again, opening the point difference to 10 points. The Lakers' No.20 seven-game winning streak is set.

After this game, the attention of the Lakers has also been improved. After all, they have now tied the record of 27 consecutive victories created by the Big Three of the Heat. Created a record of 50 consecutive victories, which allowed them to take the top two places in the winning streak list.

In the next few games, it will be a critical period for the Lakers. Whether they can hit the record of 33 consecutive victories, or even create a record of 27 consecutive victories that surpasses the Big Three of the Heat, depends on their success. How did they perform in the next few games, and coincidentally, their opponent in the next game is one of the main opponents of the Lakers in the West today, the Spurs.

The last time they played against each other, the Spurs were very unconvinced. First, it was because Jefferson hadn't been able to integrate into the Spurs' tactical system, and second, it was because their newly recruited role players hadn't been fully trained. , That's why the Lakers easily won the game. In this game, although the Lakers are playing at home, the Spurs are still full of fighting spirit. Zhuge Weiqi even two days before the start of the game, That is to say, when the Lakers were still preparing for the game against the Trail Blazers, they had already started to play psychological warfare on the media.

On the one hand, he put out smoke bombs, saying that the current combat effectiveness of the Lakers can be regarded as the top five teams in the history of the league. There is almost no team in the current league that can cause trouble for the Lakers. He even said With the development of modern basketball to this point, Ye Xuan is considered to be the first player in history who can truly change the perspective of basketball development.In short, it's just a random exaggeration of the Lakers and Ye Xuan, but the three cores of the Lakers will not accept this.After all, Gasol had already seen these methods of Mr. Zhuge with the Lakers in 08 and 09, and Wade also fought wits with the Spurs for a while in the era of the Heat's Big Three. As for Ye Xuan, let alone, his only championship was won by the Spurs.

So Zhuge Weiqi, who was the first to make a move, found that although his move had been sent out, his opponent seemed to have not seen the smoke bomb at all. This made Zhuge Weiwei very embarrassed, but the opponent had no move at all. There is a way to win, so that the old man has no place to use his strength, so the old man can't make a plan and make another plan. Since it's not easy to flatter you, then it's better to provoke you.

So in the few hours before the game between the two teams, another tabloid spread the news, saying that Zhuge Weiqi said that if there is another team in the league that can end the Lakers' super winning streak, then this The first team must be the Spurs, and they will do a good job in the next game to let the Lakers understand what is the ultimate meaning of team basketball.

This trick is really good for Ye Xuan, but Ye Xuan is not saying that he got the trick, but because Ye Xuan prefers to interact on Twitter or INS, so facing this kind of provocation from the old man this time, Ye Xuan Xuan also seemingly casually shared a video of a game on the INS. This video was exactly when Ye Xuan hit the game-winning goal to help the Pacers beat the Spurs and successfully won the O'Brien Cup. The video of that game, the meaning is self-evident, it just said, I defeated you before, and it is the same now.

Soon the game between the two teams began. After the Lakers won the game against the Magic, the current state is relatively relaxed. Although the opponent is the Spurs, which is currently ranked fourth in the Western Conference, But the Lakers are not afraid of their opponents now. The Lakers took the lead at the beginning of the game. After Gasol grabbed the backcourt rebound, he directly launched a fast break. Although Ye Xuan faced Leonard's defense, but Still chose to make a forced shot, throwing the ball in a very difficult posture during the fast break.

Then the Spurs also showed their determination to win this game. Leonard played very resolutely on the offensive end. After receiving the ball, he took a step inward and shot directly, and he also hit!Later, on the defensive end, Adelaide used his wingspan to interfere with Randall's return pass, giving the Spurs an excellent counterattack opportunity, and in the end the old sports car Parker hit the ball .

In the next few minutes, the Lakers' offense was also attacked by the opponent's strict defense. For a while, the Lakers' lineup couldn't pick up the speed. You must know that the Lakers' inside line is not particularly dominant. If the speed cannot be raised, then the positional battle will definitely not win the Spurs with Jefferson and Aldridge. In addition, Leonard's offense has improved by leaps and bounds this season, and now he can still play Solomon in the low position from time to time. -Hill, so the Lakers fell into a disadvantage in an instant.

Although Ye Xuan intends to kill the enemy, he is the key defensive target of the Spurs, so although Ye Xuan can use backruns or teammates' off-ball screens to find one or two shot opportunities from time to time, but more often He was stared at by Leonard, and he didn't have a good chance to make a move. In addition, although Ye Xuan opened the singles, Leonard still has some chances of winning, but the Spurs' defensive layout is specially designed to restrain Ye Xuan. It was very strenuous to break through Leonard, but in the end it was hard to pass the opponent. Suddenly, another person came to delay him, and Leonard behind him made up for it. At this time, Ye Xuan could only choose to pass the ball. To deal with the vacant teammates, but the effect is very mediocre, so the Lakers are getting more and more behind. When the Lakers replaced Ye Xuan and Gasol and others in the first quarter, they were already behind to the Spurs. The team scored 11 points.

The main players lost to their opponents by 10 points in 11 minutes. This is the worst game for the Lakers this season, but fortunately, the Lakers still have a vote of confident substitutes, led by Clarkson. After the substitutes were replaced, they began their journey to help the main players fill in the gaps. First, Felton received a three-pointer from Larry Nance Jr. on the outside, narrowing the gap. It reached single digits, and then on the defensive end, Dewayne Dedmon was double-teamed by Speights and Clarkson and almost made a mistake. Although the ball was passed at the last moment, there was not much time left. Ginobi After receiving the ball, Lee shot directly without any chance to adjust. In the end, he didn't even touch the frame. The Spurs fouled in 24 seconds.

The Lakers served the ball from the sideline, and Nick Young used Speights' off-ball screen to catch the ball from the bottom line. Clarkson, who was holding the ball near the free throw line and preparing for a single, was not greedy for credit and passed the ball directly. Nick - Yang pulled it up and it was a three-pointer, and the ball hit again!In an instant, the Lakers chased the point difference to only five points. Ye Xuan was also waving the towel in his hand on the bench to cheer for his teammates on the field.

And the Spurs obviously didn't expect that. After all, their substitutes are also relatively good in the league. After the season, the Spurs' substitutes can contribute up to 39 points per game. This statistic is basically the highest in the league. Yes, but the Lakers they encountered didn't simply rely on the substitutes to score, but the Lakers' substitutes were always able to perform the savior's good show at the critical moment of the game.

In this way, it took only 5 minutes for the Spurs' substitutes to exhaust the Spurs' 11-point advantage. The kind of energy that the Lakers killed, so the combat effectiveness also dropped sharply, and the Lakers got a lot of encouragement after recovering the point difference. In addition, they are playing at home again, so they are all around. The cheering fans cheered up their morale even more.

So after the main players were replaced again in the second quarter, the Lakers changed the situation of being overwhelmed by their opponents in the first quarter, and began to take the initiative on the scene. Wade also began to attack with the ball in various ways. Of course, the Lakers The team ultimately depends on Ye Xuan. After returning to the court, Ye Xuan changed his style of avoiding Leonard and started to fight hard with his opponent. Not only did he play one-on-one with you on the offensive end, but also On the defensive end, Ye Xuan also came to defend Leonard, which greatly affected Leonard's offense. But at this time, Green lost his sight again, causing the Spurs to fail to hit the ball for three consecutive rounds. Among them, the Lakers overtook the score in an instant.

Since then, although the Spurs have also organized a wave of counterattacks under the leadership of Ade, the momentum of the Lakers has been played out, and the feel of the shots has gradually been released, so although the Spurs can barely maintain the point difference. Continue to expand, but did not find any chance to overtake the score.And the Lakers also want to end the battle as soon as possible, so Ye Xuan has been looking for a chance to give the opponent a fatal blow, but the Spurs are still relatively calm, the third quarter and the first half of the fourth quarter. It was in the stalemate stage that the Lakers led their opponents by 9 points at most, and the Spurs could only close the point difference to two points at most, and failed to complete the overtake.

At the last moment, the Spurs still did not give up their pursuit of winning the game, but their offensive was resolved by Ye Xuan and Wade's brilliant performances at critical moments. In the end, the Lakers won 111:108 The Spurs have achieved a 28-game winning streak at their home court, which ranks second in league history.

After defeating the Spurs, the Lakers' record has reached a shocking 42 wins and 3 losses. That is to say, they now not only have the opportunity to hit the record of 33 consecutive victories left by their predecessors, but also There is a chance to hit the miracle of 73 wins created by the Warriors last year, and Xiao Hua has obviously discovered this sign, so I don’t know if he will secretly arrange arrangements to help the Lakers for the sake of ratings The team has some advantages.

But just as the Lakers were advancing all the way and preparing to continue their winning streak, they unexpectedly suffered a big defeat. On January 15th, the Lakers played against the Los Angeles Clippers at home. Team, what they didn't expect was that Paul's comeback battle was actually so strong. Not long after the opening, he led a group of players with the same hatred to beat the Lakers into a daze. After the game against the Spurs, he felt uncomfortable in his back, so he chose to take a rest. Although Xiao Hua's rest terms have been mentioned in detail, they have not been officially promulgated, so they are not binding at all. As a result, Wade took this round. It collapsed in an instant. Ye Xuan was entangled with Paul on the outside. Although he had an advantage in height, Paul's small movements still made Ye Xuan very upset. In addition, Gasol was also trained by Jordan and Griffin in turn. The Lakers lost the game without any temper. In the end, 104:116, the Lakers' winning streak came to an abrupt end.
